Resident Evil 2 Prologue (N64)

A technical triumph for Nintendo 64.

The game displayed in the video is the very same survival horror classic by Capcom, originally released in 1998 on Playstation. It retains all of the video, music and voice acting and also Angel Studios managed to fit both Claire and Leon's campaigns for good measure. This is thanks to some fantastic compression techniques formulated by Factor 5 (of Rogue Squadron fame) and a hefty enhanced 65MB cartridge used for the extra space.

The Nintendo 64 Resident Evil 2 does miss out on extreme battle but it instead gains the EX files which chains together the plot of all Resident Evil games. There are also some minor gameplay modifiers. And ofcourse, Resident Evil 2 runs at a higher resolution with better texture filtering on Nintendo 64 than Playstation.

If you haven't played Resident Evil 2 yet you really need to force yourself to. It has a great story and set of characters. It is unsurprisingly a creepy game too even after over a decade since release. This Nintendo 64 version is somewhat desirable compared to the other, disc based, copies of the game on other formats. But don't faze yourself from buying it either, this one comes absolutely recommended otherwise.

@LewisLongshanks I loved cheesy ass stuff like the original itself. I ca't help but still smile about it. I mean, cheesy 80's B-horror movies still kicked modern horror bullshit ass. XD

I have to agree. Resident Evil 4 (though a great game itself) just isn't the same as the other Resident Evils. The series reached all it could ever go with Code Veronica imo but the peak was definitely with Resident Evil 2 and my favourite is still the cheesy ass original 1996 Playstation Biohazard :D

"sigh"
