What happened to Resident Evil 0? At the peak of survival horror, this entry seemed to fall flat. It's got all the elements of a classic Resident Evil game; lots of locations to explore, cryptic puzzles, and hordes of undead. Let's compare RE0 to the other games to find out where they might have gone wrong.
Let me know what you thought about my Resident Evil Zero review!

What is your favorite game that tasks you with controlling multiple main characters?
Luigi’s Mansion 3 😂
Fire Emblem ⚔️
I enjoy The Adventures Of Cookie And Cream. Though you don't have to do both yourself. Though that would make a cool Battle Square.
Gta 5
My favorite game is finding new ways to avoid all these damned ads that you litter in your videos like a minefield just so you can make an easy buck.
Rebecca in RE0: kills countless monsters, including a Tyrant
Rebecca in RE1: scared of a regular zombie
Very tired in RE1 already she was.
@@neildrunkmaam7040 being tired doesn't make you suddenly afraid of things you weren't afraid of before.
I highly doubt she stopped fearing them
Samus from Other M: first time
Rebeca : yeah.
The following fully depends on whether one views The Umbrella Chronicles as canon or not, but that game does bring a good explanation as to why Rebecca is nigh-helpless in RE1. From the beginning of RE0 to the end of RE1, she hadn't slept a wink, she has been forced to see a few of her teammates die, she had become a nervous wreck and she had run out of ammo to fight. Taking that into consideration, it makes sense that a rookie like her was not up to fighting anymore by the time Chris found her.
The train setting at the beginning is absolutely genius to me, with the super tight aisles and such. Also really dig the fact that you can just die a minute in.
KLightningBolt same here. I know the mansion and police station feel pretty close quarters, but the forcing of a train car is the most claustrophobic I’ve ever felt, which adds to the stress and tension to this game. Love it
@lilibryant2032 The Train is one of my favorite levels in any RE game. Along with the Mandion in RE1, Police Station and Clock tower in Re2 and 3.
i like how the raid shadow legends advertisement is such an joke everyone can poke fun at it, even the people advertising it.
There is no bad publicity.
I never can understand why people get so bent out of shape when a youtuber provides an ad like this. CZcams has consistently made it more and more difficult for them to make money, and ads like this help guys like Jirard keep the lights on and keep on making vids.
Brandon VanGieson there’s a difference between advertising an actual good or service, and advertising Raid Shadow Legends
@@RobbsterKlaw not really
@@RobbsterKlaw Not to a brand trying to get any sponsorship to keep paying the bills. Like I could get if it was supporting a definitively shady or evil business. But this is just another mediocre free-to-play phone game. If I did have a brand, I would pimp the shit out of every mediocre mobile game that would offer to pay me to do so, so I could continue to pay for and invest in even higher quality content. That's just business
RE0: “that one with the train”
I think that is the problem. It isn't that it is bad, but that it don't bring nothing of value on the table.
@@TheRezro
It does explain A LOT about the lore of the older and future games. It is very important for RE5 for example.
@@JackOfen Agree. But that is how commonly this game is seams.
Resident Evil 0: "ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN"
@@JackOfen That you can just skip over because Umbrella Chronicles. Where it gives you the basic gist of the game so you don't have to play RE 0 in the first place.
I love RE Zero. I get it's not everyone's cup of tea but, I like the character dynamic that you have to use both characters at the same time.
I really liked it. They had good chemistry and were good partners. I wish they would have done more with this game. I love it so much 😭
This was my first introduction to resident evil. I remember going to target and getting it on the gamecube back in the day. I loved the game and the game opened me up to my now favorite franchise, resident evil.
Same!! It's one of the first RE games I played.
A pretty amazing introduction to the series
It was my second , after REmake . I loved both so much !
I was able to rent it at a video rental store while I was visiting relatives in another state, and my family loved hearing me panic and scream from the other room. This was my first game and I won’t forget the fridge zombie. Never. Forget. The fridge.
@@lilibryant2032 I played it for the first time last year. I'm 24. I screamed
Billy doesn't need a personality with those looks.
Hey Jirad, since you mentioned it, when are you completing raid: shadowlegends?
@singularon1 he'll never get there. I installed it and there are like 5 or 6 ads for the ingame shop every time you start the app. It's to the point where I hopped into the bus, started the game, and didn't have time to do a fight before my stop came. Uninstalled after a week.
@singularon1 Except you don't need to spend a single dime to get all of it so...yeah
@@Ashurman666 Oh fuck off with the whole "You don't have to pay a dime" argument. I hear these everytime lootboxes are brought up, but almost every single time if you don't HAVE to pay money you do have to turn the game into a full time job, and even then you have to get lucky not to missout on limited time events. Not once has the "You don't have to pay a dim" argument ever been fully true in my experience.
@@aliciafraser1835 it is fully true lol
@@aliciafraser1835 Only time it's been true in my experience is with Overwatch, can easily earn the lootboxes to get every holiday skin and main ones in no time
“It’s Christmas time!” *Is playing Resident Evil*
You mean it's still Thanksgiving but merry Chrysler is coming up soon
Nothing says Christmas like zombies. They just hit up the local Walmart instead of the classic mall.
Man I miss prerendered background when done right they look so good.
Fizz this game still looks beautiful
@@andreseh87 damb right
That train scene when slowly making your way across the roof in the rain is the most visually stunning of them all IMO. Got it as a desktop image for my computer.
The train in general was beautiful as it was scary to move around in.
So many many many years ago, I found 99 leeches... it’s haunted me for over a decade.
I think it’s time... it’s time you return and get the 100. And then do another play through w infinite ammo on hard 🤟
@@brunskies92 Only way to get infinite ammo on hard is to beat leech hunter on hard...not worth it. Hard isn't too bad anyways
Funny that he finds the lack of an item box a pro of the game, because for me, that was one of the biggest issues I have with the game. I actually really like the item boxes. :/
Honestly, as someone who dislikes RE0, I never found the item box, or lack there of to be an issue. The game's areas circle in on themselves so much that you can usually dedicate a handful or rooms as storage spots and be perfectly fine. It doesn't really need item boxes because of the way maps are layed out, plus you're walking around with double the inventory space of any RE game before then.
Fuck not having item boxes. The worst idea for resident evil
I think the main reason they chose not to go without item boxes is because the game is a bit harder and not having item boxes make things harder yes making many trips to bring all your things with you can be kinda boring but other than that I think it’s fine plus the items show up on the map so you know where they all are
The Completionist: this game is unloved
Me: I love it
Re0 Rebecca: literally kills a tyrant by herself.
Re1 Rebecca: needs Chris to kill one zombie
🤔
Well...
Manuel Rodriguez yeah.
*B...Bu...B.But Unbrlla Turd said she was tired! Therefore you're wrong! Lrn how to red nd hav gud taste RE4 shill.

November 23rd "Hey everyone, it's Christmas time!"
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
Also that fucking mobile game ad… wow
@ I'd complain, but... I mean, Beard's gotta eat, too, y'know?
René Henrich I always skip the ads because fuck em
Christmas is here, accept it before it forces you to.
René Henrich imagine complaining about something completely free having ads.
For how much money Raid gives out you think they could use it to make a better game.
Do you honestly think they give a shit about this game lmao
RE0 Introducing the partner system for RE5
Facts
Wesker: "So, you seem to know me. Been fantasizing about me?"
Me: **Sweats**
REZero was one of my favorite in the series. it doesn't get enough love.
I loved this game! Literally the first resident evil I played. It marked my childhood in so many good and bad ways lol
Very underrated game. I have no clue how I beat this when I was younger
I just love that you face off against giant mutated frogs in RE0.
Great video, was an awesome trip down memory lane (or memory train) watching this
Ive been waiting for this for a while, keep it up Jirard!
Hey Jirard; if you want to stick to the whole "series outcast" theme, there WAS a Game Boy Color entry for Resident Evil.....
Gaiden is not canon, and the gameboy port was unfinished/cancelled.
@@Rihcterwilker
Who cares if it is non-canon? It's still a RE game that can be completed.
We don't speak of that......
@@Chickenman702
Why not? RE Gaiden isn't even that bad for a Game Boy Color game. Plus, Barry and Leon teaming up is something you won't see every day.
@@JackOfen I agree that the Barry/Leon team up is interesting but have you played it recently? it's a really bad game overall. The combat is awful and the story was really poor. There's a reason it's kinda been forgotten, same with Survivor
This is the great filter. A more hardcore RE experience that general audiences weren't ready for. Now it's a welcome challenge.
Jirard, get some sleep. I can hear the deep-seated exhaustion in your voice throughout this whole episode.
"He's Got A Dash That's Admittedly Hard To Control."
*shows Albert Wesker running like an angry anime character*
Me: Dead! 😂💀
I love resident evil zero and Rebecca chambers, wish she could star in another game!
Unfortunatly Shinji Mikami hated her, for some stupid reason.
He is gone from Capcom for a while, so there is hope for Rebecca now.
me favourite RE to this day! it deserves so much love xD thanks for covering it Jerard! keep up the nice stuff
cheerios
Great video Jirard! Also, I LOVED the mash up of the Save Room music and Aquatic Ambience at the end!
I remember the music when the leach man showed up (along with his sudden appearance) being the most unsettling moments in the game for me.
Does Wesker's death stare have anything on Luigi's though?
The tone and the writing in this episode is the best one in quite a while! Grat job!
You know, you reminded me of why I love Resident Evil! It was the first video game franchise to include zombies that I saw, so I was immediately enthralled. I could never beat the games, but seeing stuff on CZcams inspired me to try again, and ever since I've been a huge fan!
This was my first Resident Evil game really. It was the first one I could find in the post-RE4 pre-RE5 world after deciding I wanted to get in on the series. I still like it.
You could really see the pain in his eyes as he was forced to talk about raid shadow legends
That was probably my favorite Raid: Shadow Legends ad I've seen, it actually made me laugh.
Also, that RE-infused remix of Aquatic Ambiance is just amazing
This was my favorite numbered RE for years when I was younger. Glad you played it.
I loved this game. I still do. Great graphics and a good story. My only gripe was the partner system.
Resident Evil Zero was always my favorite game in the Resident Evil series! It was one of the first games in the series were I became obsessed with. I loved the two character play style and loved the character you play as even more. Rebecca Chambers to this day is my favorite character in the RE series, and is sad she never got a better chance to shine all because the creator at the end of the day didn't like her and didn't want her to come back... I recently got the game again for my Switch and let me tell you, my heart is happy!
I love resident evil 0 on switch :)
At least we got to see her again in the Vendetta movie with Chris and Leon. And she will always be the cutest RE girl in the franchise no matter what.
@@tigga2300 Very true! I still have hope they can bring her back, even if they change up her backstory a bit. I mean, if we can get Sherry again... LoL
I want them to bring billy back too and Claire
I dunno man. I really liked Billy, and kinda wish Capcom would bring him back in some capacity.
I agree.
One day they might make some kind of a spin off featuring Billy, Sheva and Steve Burnside...
@@pious83 in an orgy
@@pious83 Steve died though, didn't he?
@@LagunaX1 Wesker took the body, so his ultimate fate remains ambiguous.
Sick Episode Completionist team! This game existed on the fringe of my memory and I'd almost completely forgot about it. Thanks!
I really do hope all goes well with the channel and all the current COPPA shenanigans happening right now. Hang in there boys!
Why was it overlooked? Because it was a Gamecube exclusive for years. It's in the Top 10 best selling third-party GC games, and Top 30 overall.
Yet, even RE Outbreak sold better.
Hell, RE Zero sold almost exactly as well as REmake. RE Zero doesn't show you how classic RE failed, it just shows much of a flop the Gamecube was.
Yeah that seems about right. Re0 was a really good game. My only problem with it was the lack of inventory boxes but after an hour or two it didn't really bother me anymore.
Resident evil 0 was always my favorite next to 2. Loved the drop system when I was younger and the insane switching
I know I’m a minority here, but I LOVE 0 soooooo much. My first play through was when I was 13 years old. I loved the no item box because it made it feel a little more real and terrifying. Not having a save room with all your goodies in one spot made me really plan how I wanted to attack new areas. I also remember having pretty much allllll of my handgun ammo on billy when he gets knocked over the railing by that monkey right before the lab. That put me in one hell of a bind. Leech hunter is also one of my favorite bonus games RE ever did. My absolute favorite was extreme battle in re2 and for me personally that one is so hard to top...But that’s a totally different conversation to be had 😂. End point, even being one of the few who absolutely loves RE0 I can understand why people don’t like it. I however played it waaaay more than REmake and I couldn’t imagine my early teen years without the horror that game brought to my living room. 0 will always be in my top 3 RE’s of all time. But that’s what makes the world such a fun place, we’re alllllll different 😌
that's funny, this game is like that, like, you better know which character to be doing what with, immediately. Good strategy isn't ever directly explained either, people gotta learn the hard way.
Good work bro your manly voice has got better lol...Great vid man love all the resident evil games expecially the classics and this 1 felt classic 2 me...keep up the great content
RE 0 is one of my favorites; I played it a lot on the Gamecube.
I really like RE0, I replayed it recently on steam, I think its still an absolutely solid traditional survival horror. Also Rebecca is great.
I have ALWAYS overlooked this particular Resident Evil, but now imma have to give it a shot..
YES! I am one of those that didn’t get passed the train section for the longest time. But just last month - yeah, Oct 2020 - I decided to knuckle down and beat the game.
And now, I’ve got to say..... RE0 is one of my favourites! I fricken LOVE this game.
Thank you for doing a Resident Evil again!! I was not expecting 0 either. Your videos are so thought out and in depth.
Do you think you could do RE7/Its DLC as well? Its a semi easy platinum trophy but madhouse and joe must die really offer a good challenge. Its also a great RE on the vein of the classics.
When are you completing Raid Shadow Legends since you and all the other CZcamsrs love it so much?
its not that stupid "game" that they love, its the bloody money that the games publisher is throwing around what they love and sell their souls for..
That "Finish it!" at the end with the Spencer mansion from RE Remake in the background.
This is one of the best, accurate reviews of how this game actually is. Nice to see it getting some attention instead of being looked at as “the other RE on GC.”
19:01 that happend to me one time when i was going for "no save" trophy!
i didnt even had the chance to swap characters! the AI was just standing there doing NOTHING! so... START OVER!
The timing of the release was the issue. When taken as a stand-alone game, it’s a perfectly playable experience, and the zapping system is great fun! But when people have just had a large dose of Jill sandwiches, you don’t want a leech pie for dessert!
YES! I'm so glad you brought back the WEEIIRD MAN thing! 18:18
Glad to see RE:0 getting some love
Isn't that two-character system incredibly similar to the one used in Revelations 2?
Uhhh no, the 2 character system was WAY more in depth and utilised in Rev 2. But this definitely provides framework for it.
Christmas time? We haven’t even made it to thanksgiving yet.....
Oh my god Jirared, that sponsor spot. That low key self aware vibe of "yes, I know guys, it's raid again". That's why I watch this channel that was hilarious
Oh my gooood the memories! I remember finishing leech hunter mode back in 2018, this game is such a banger ngl
I really liked RE0 when it came out, I wasn’t aware that people dislike it
It's just the usual whiny fanboys crying over everything. Plus, almost all Gamecube exclusive titles of previous Play Station series have a lot of haters. Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes also does for example. I believe it's just salty Play Station fans that are angry, that they couldn't play those games.
@@JackOfen Oh yeah anyone who has a problem with this game is a whiny fanboy. No possible way this game could be criticized in any fashion.
@@undeadtacocody9987
It does have problems, there is no perfect game. But the whiny fanboys cry over every single fart and nitpick the shit out of it. All the while RE 2, 3 and 4 get a free pass.
@@JackOfen maybe because those games were *GOOD* and RE0 *wasnt* but what do i know....those sales reports says otherwise
@@juliushall8499
Or maybe it is good and you're just whiny.
Also it had low sales because it was a *Gamecube exclusive*. RE4 on the Gamecube also had low sales because the Gamecube was a commercial failure.
I remember really enjoying this game, I’m not sure why I never beat it
A thousand thank you's for longer episodes 💖💖💖💖
Excellent video as always!! Enjoying seeing more RE titles! Especially this forgotten title.
I'd love to see you tackle Resident Evil Remake, and (knowing it will be well down the road, with how long JRPGs take) Breath of Fire.
RE 0 was one of my favorite games growing up!
Is it true that every time Jirard has his beard shaved; he’s filming a new intro sequence?
just about or that he is traveling and his beard can sometimes get him into trouble
@@tmobile2120 That's pretty sad. Getting hassled at security just for having a sweet jaw jacket? Awful.
tmobile2120 that blows, I’m sorry he has to go through that by the TSA
@@8thsinn Oh stop it, EVERYONE has to go through scrutiny when they're traveling and crossing boarders.
Well done for achieving and accomplishing what you did.
Pleased to hear your enjoyed the resident Evil 0 atomphere and Music too.. Loved that you have Donkey Kong country music add the end of your video!! 🤩👏👍
Thank you for your great content Jirard!
I'm pretty sure Brett would want Albert Wesker's death stare in real life
Great content as always, why not give the Onimusha series a spin soon :)
I was litteraly calling it "The one with a train" before clicking the video. Good one
I love and played and beat it when it first came out. Me and my best friend made our own multiplayer mode. I played Billy and he played Rebecca. When we switched characters we swapped the controller and the other watched. Was also handy whenever his mom was calling for him as he could swap and I'd take over until he got back lol. Great times!
Aw man... This is one of my favorite RE alongside Remake and Revelations :c
Honestly, an item box would have made all the difference in the world.
100% agree
So true
I feel liked itd make the game too easy and make the mechanic of dropping items or having a second partner pointless
@@Arglactable I am excellent at managing my inventory; I tend to drop items in the main hall due to its quick accessibility from wherever I may be. It doesn't change the fact that going back and forth between different areas just to transfer your items to different locations is incredibly tedious.
Awesome to see this. I hope you get to the Persona Dancing games sometime. I know you like rhythm games and those three are easy to complete.
Just discovered your videos, very thorough and enjoyable sir! I had this game on the GC and never got into it though it looked phenominal at the time. For me, looking back it was the fact that you had two players to control, one of which just stood by and did nothing while th other fought for their life. It just felt unreal and...unfair!
This is the best RE I don't understand why people don't like it.
"Raid shad..." *Immediately stops vids and goes to watch something else*
Not often I type ima proud subber!!@# Good going
as usual Completionpoo
When that DKC music hit towards the end... nostalgia!
Man, I don’t know what to comment now, I never thought I’d get this far. Uh...
Raid bad
Handinabag Hot dog stand
Pleasse Quest for the DMC series
Just move on and start nagging him for an episode on Yakuza Kiwami, that should work.
Rezzy 0 was such a good Rezzy game. Sadly, I lost my copy of the game, so I never got to get very far.
You didn't even beat it and say its good 😂. Did you get to the bat boss?
@@Walamonga1313 Listen, I can get an idea of the quality of a game even if I couldn't finish it all.
That's like saying "you have to eat the whole steak to know if it's any good."
If, say, the ending is a total letdown, I would have said "the game is so good, too bad the ending was such a letdown." I mean, if I knew about it. So, it still doesn't disqualify my initial statement.
I'm not sure on the bat boss, it was also a long time ago, and I don't remember that one specifically. Not sure if I didn't get to it, or just don't remember it.
I really really enjoy RE0, it's so innovative and creative! And a wonderful prequel to the masterpiece that is resident evil remake and all the games to come!
Great video, I know that you've already done a fair share of the RE franchise but I'd still love to see more in the future.
I will get raid shadow legends if you make a completionist episode on it first.
The game isn’t bad, it’s just the worst of the classic RE so only hardcore fans really play and like it
Also the story literally makes no sense and is insane
The "less good" classic Resident RE Zero is.
Too strong the word "worst" it is.
It was one of the first RE games I played so it has a special place in my heart. Retrospecting on it...ye the game is a weak link. It's a genetic successor to the RE we all know and love with a story that has little to no relevance to the series.
I agree. Although i've never played Code Veronica so I don't have an opinion on that one.
I loved your live show in Indianapolis, definitely going to another whenever you have another tour
RE is a series I genuinely want to love and enjoy, I'm just terrible with tank controls
Joshua Priemer
You could try the two latest games, RE7 and the RE2 remake if you haven’t already. They are excellent games, and have no tank controls.
I never actually overlooked RE0, I actually love it
I have this game for Gamecube and 360. And I always liked this game and this game is way better than Resident evil 5 or 6. I think what hurt most of this game was that it was a Gamecube exclusive, sales figures would been completely different if this were also on PS2 and original Xbox.
Also great timing Jirard, I just today got the true ending on Re2make.
That was what hurt it. Remake is arguably the greatest survival horror game to date but it also sold poorly due to being GCN exclusive.
Remember how Billy jumped in slow motion and shot down 2 leeches and the rest just ran away when they still could have easily killed Rebeca right there? I fucking love Resident Evil 0 lol
That song combination with RE and DKC at the end is incredible!
Are we ever going to see the Outbreak games on here? 🤔
Thank you for mentioning it. I was worried i was the only one thinking that. Many of my late-teen years were spent in File 1 and File 2. I really hope he covers them.
He definitely will
I still play them from time to time. They’re still pretty cool. It’s just a shame the online aspect is gone, so the group camaraderie is gone, but it’s still fun to play through with the different characters
Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll remake them in like, 10 years.
A good modern-but-not Multiplayer Resident Evil would be a nice idea i think.
I doubt it unless they get remade since I am pretty sure that a number of 'achievements' ingame require playing the multiplayer mode and the PS2 network is nonexistent. Unless you can play the game on a LAN or something.
REmake is my favorite RE, RE0 one of my least. Regardless I’m stoked you’re doing this!
That resi music x dkc music mash up is dope Jirad 👍🏾
