The Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The Outbreak File #2 Review is ready to go!

After my experience with the original Outbreak, I wasn't looking forward to this video all that much, but I was very pleasantly surprised by just how much File #2 improves on the original and actually made me start to fall in love with the formula that Capcom had created with these games. I initially didn't even think File #2 would even warrant its own video in the series, but here we are with a full-length video of meaningful improvements and...

What's up next on the channel?

Okay, so this is definitely one of the weirdest updates I've ever written (and likely ever will), but here goes...

The next video I'm working on is for Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2! I was originally going to lump this game and Outbreak 1 into the same video, since File #2 is just a standalone expansion, but it ended up having so much to talk about that it warranted its own video. It's a bit on the shorter side coming in at a little over 16 minutes, but a full video nonetheless.

The Kurohyō: Ryū ga Gotoku Shinshō Review is up early for Contributors and above!

IT'S FINALLY HERE!

After a longer than expected editing process, the Kurohyō review is ready to go! This is definitely one of the most interesting games I've covered for the channel in a while, and I'm really excited to share it with you guys! The next video should have a pretty quick turnaround, as I've already recorded all my footage and organized all my notes ahead of time, so expect a similarly long early access window next week!

Anyway, I'm going to get back to working on so...

Quick update on the Kurohyou Review:

Okay, so just ripping the band aid off right away, getting this video done by Monday was massively overambitious 😂

I've been plugging away at things over the last few days, but this is a game with a ton of stuff worth talking about, so it's going to need a few more days in the oven still. Since the last update, I've written and finalized the script, gotten the majority of the voice work done (aside from the end of the video), and am just now getting into the bulk of the editing. Ther...

What's up on the schedule for next week?

A bit of a late update on this one, but I wanted to wait until I had a little more to talk about with this one. The next review I'm working on is for "Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinshou"! This is the second Yakuza game that we'll be covering that was only ever released in Japan, and also the first game in the series to be developed for the PSP! I just finished my playthrough early this morning, and there's an almost overwhelming amount of interesting things to talk about with this one.

No...

The Resident Evil Outbreak Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The Outbreak Review is ready to go! It's a bit later than I was hoping to have it done by, but that's my fault for forgetting to account for extended family inviting me to some extra holidays celebrations 😂

Anyway, it's been almost a month since the last Resident Evil video, so I'm super excited to finally have another one for you guys! And don't worry, the gap between this and the next RE video won't be quite as long 😉

As always, I hope you guys enjoy, and I'll have an upda...

What's up next for the channel?

So this update was supposed to go up yesterday... but I got a little too caught up in working on the video and forgot until just now...

Anyway, the next video on the channel is the (for some) long-awaited Resident Evil Outbreak Review! As I've mentioned a few times over the last month or so, some of the earlier work on this one has been happening over the last few weeks, so it's a bit further ahead than a video would typically be at this point in production. All that's left for me to do...

The Yakuza 4 Review is up early for Contributors and above!

Alright, so after nearly two weeks of work, the Yakuza 4 Review is finally ready to go! This was a super interesting one for me to work on, because Yakuza 4 ended up almost being my favorite of the series so far, but there were a handful of things preventing it from reaching those heights.

The next video should actually have a pretty quick turn around, as I've already been working on it on the side for a few weeks now. But more on that in the coming days. As always, I hope you guys enjo...

Update on the Yakuza 4 Review:

Okay so it's been a few days since the last update, but plenty has happened since then. I managed to get through the rest of the game, wrote and polished up the whole script, recorded the voiceover for the whole video, and am now just getting started on the bulk of the editing! I don't really have an exact day in mind that it will likely be done, but it will probably be done and up in early access sometime around Friday.

I'll have another update up before then if there are any sort of d...

Late update on what's cooking:

Okay, so I meant to throw one of these up yesterday... but I got a little caught up in the grind and forgot to write it 😅

Regardless, I've been playing through Yakuza 4 these last few days, and oh boy is this one longer than expected. I've played just shy of 20 hours so far, and just finished the 9th of the game's 16 story chapters. So it's probably still going to be a few more days until I'm finished playing through it, which of course means that this won't even be close to done by ...

The Yakuza 3 Review is up early for Contributors and above!

Okay, so despite the world's many attempts to keep me distracted (looking at you Path of Exile 2), the Yakuza 3 Review is finally ready to go! This was actually a pretty difficult video for me, as I really did enjoy the game, but I also just had so many problems with it. It was pretty difficult to balance out the praise and the criticism in a way that accurately reflects how I feel, but I'm ultimately happy with how it came out.

Like I said in the last update, I'm not thrilled about fin...

Update on the Yakuza 3 Review:

Okay, so it's been a few days since the last update, but I finally have some stuff that's worth showing off.

Since then, I got through the rest of the game, I've written and finalized the entire script, and I'm just starting tonight on splicing up the voice over! I'm expecting the video to be just shy of the 30 minute mark, so at this pace it'll likely be finished up around Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. This means that it will likely only be ready about a day or two early, but d...

What's up next on the channel?

Alright so it's been a few days since I finished up the Resident Evil: Dead Aim video, and since then, I've been grinding away at my playthrough of Yakuza 3! I've sunk about 10 hours into it so far, and just finished up Chapter 4 of 12. It's a good thing that we're so far ahead of schedule, because these games just seem to get longer with each one 😅

So not much to share so far other than what the video is and how far along I am in my playthrough, but just wanted to let you guys know ...

The Resident Evil: Dead Aim Review is up early for Contributors and above!

Say hello to another very long early access window courtesy of the Kenzan review. Like I said before, it's a smaller video, but for those of you who are interested in the more weird and unknown Resident Evil titles out there, this one will definitely be for you.

It's an interesting little excursion before the next large project that I'm working on, so as always, I hope you guys enjoy :)

Quick update on the Resident Evil Dead Aim Video:

Okay, so the Resident Evil: Dead Aim video is coming together pretty quickly. I've currently finished all of the voice work for the video, and I have a little more than half of it fully edited. Like I mentioned in the last post, it's a smaller project compared to a lot of what we've been doing recently... which is good because the next video after this is probably going to be a larger one again 😂

This one will probably be done pretty soon, and have another long early access period! I...

What are we covering next?

Okay, so I know that the Kenzan video hasn't even gone public yet, but I do have a lot to update you guys on for the next video already. The next thing we're covering is "Resident Evil: Dead Aim", the fourth and final game of Capcom's "Gun Survivor" series.

I've already played through the entire thing, finalized the script, and am just getting started on the voice work as of tonight. This video's going to be a bit on the shorter side, which is definitely nice for me as not only was the ...

The "Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!" Review is up early for Contributors and above!

After the longest production of any videos I've done in a while, the "Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!" Review is finally ready to go! This was one of the most fun videos I've tackled in a while, as not only was I experiencing this one for the first time, but the vast majority of Yakuza fans outside of Japan have never had the chance to play this one either! So on top of sharing my own experience, I'm able to introduce a ton of fans out there to a game in their favorite series that they haven't played!<...

Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan Review: Update #3

Alright, so pretty much immediately after the last update, I got thrown a massive curveball. I was on pace to finish the video over the weekend and have it ready for Monday, but then a family member of mine was hospitalized, which naturally delayed things a bit 😂

At the very least, the video is far enough along that it will get finished up early this week. This means that not only will you guys get a longer early access window than usual, but it will also just carry forward into futu...

Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan: Update #2

Okay, so progress has been a little slower than expected, but it seems like I might be able to pull this one out on time. I had some delays because of real life stuff, but since the last update, I've finished the game, written and recorded the script, and am currently working on splicing up the voice over.

I have pretty much all day tomorrow and Saturday available to work on it, so I'm hoping to have it done and available in early access by the end of Saturday. The video is going to be ...

Quick update on the "Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan" Review:

Okay, so this definitely isn't the update that I had expected to have this many days in, but here we go...

Despite saying that I was roughly halfway through the game when I wrote the first post announcing this video, it turns out that I was very, very wrong. At that point I had finished 6 of the game's 13 chapters... but from the 7th chapter on, things got a lot more long-winded. Each individual chapter went from being roughly an hour long to being roughly 5-6 hours long a piece... so I...

Quick update on what's up next:

Alright, this one's going to be a particularly interesting update.

The next video I'm working on is going to be for "Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!". This is a spinoff of the Yakuza franchise set during the Edo Period that was only ever released in Japan. It's a super interesting game, but never got a release in the west, nor a proper fan-translation. But for those that might not know, I've been studying the Japanese language pretty rigorously for a decent amount of time now, so I decided to imp...

The Resident Evil Zero Review is up early for Contributors and above!

THE RE ZERO REVIEW IS FINALLY READY TO GO! Once again, I had some exporting issues that delayed it even further, but I think I finally solved that problem today so here's hoping 😂

I'm ultimately really happy with how this one came out, and I'm glad to finally be able to share it with you guys, even if I feel bad for having two shorter early access windows in a row. Like I said before, the next one should be in early access much longer, but more on that later this week.

I'll ju...

Update on the Resident Evil Zero Review:

The RE Zero Review is coming along pretty smoothly for the most part. Since I last updated you guys on it, I've gotten the voice work totally finished up and am currently a bit shy of halfway through the editing process. And as those of you who regularly keep up with the updates will know, the editing process is normally where progress tends to go pretty quickly.

The video has fallen a bit behind my intended schedule for it thanks to me not being happy with and needing to rewrite a coup...

What's up on the schedule for next week?

Okay, so as mentioned in the REmake updates, I've been shifting the schedule around a bit to allow videos to get done a little more quickly, so I already have a good bit of progress to share here! Next up on the agenda is Resident Evil Zero! This little GameCube exclusive RE title is fairly controversial among RE fans, and I certainly have a lot of opinions of my own that I'm excited to be able to share.

I've already completed the game, am a good few pages into writing the script, and j...

The Resident Evil Remake Review is up early for Contributors and above!

After an insanely busy week and some last minute rendering issues, the RE Remake video is finally good to go!

I'm not exactly happy with only giving you guys 12 hours of early access on this one, but the algorithm demands content and it's at least the result of moving towards a more consistent schedule. Regardless, I'm really happy with how the video ultimately came out, and I think that the Resi fans among you will enjoy it quite a bit :)

As always, any sort of support on the pub...

Update on the Resident Evil Remake Review:

Okay so there have been some slight delays, but the RE Remake video should still be on track to be finished by Monday. Getting everything ready to switch over to the new schedule took some work hours out of this week, which I was prepared for, but then this script ended up being much longer than I had initially thought it would be 😅

I finished up the voice work and started on the actual editing tonight, so things should be on track to get wrapped up by Sunday! This sadly means that t...

It's finally time to return to the world of survival horror.

Okay, so I'm currently finishing up my second run of the Resident Evil Remake for the review! I expected this to be a smaller project since I've already covered the original and wouldn't have much to talk about, but I now have over a full page of just notes written down from my time playing so it will probably be about the same length as the rest of the RE videos.

I'll be wrapping up the recording stage this morning before moving on to writing later today, so at least so far, things are...

The Resident Evil Gaiden Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The Resident Evil Gaiden review is finished and ready to go! This is the last in our recent little stretch of RE spinoffs, and a particularly interesting one to end on. Gaiden is the result of that one time that Capcom decided they wanted to make an RE title for the Game Boy Color, and while I thought that I would never play it for myself, I'm ultimately glad I did! I've got a lot of thoughts on this unique little game, and I'm super excited to finally be able to share it with you guys!

Quick update on the Resident Evil Gaiden Review:

Okay, so since I last updated you guys, I've finalized the script, gotten all the voice work done, and am currently about a third of the way through editing the final video! The editing got off to a slower start than usual, but that's just because I had to play some more of the game to go and get some better clips of certain things.

Other than that though, things have been going really smoothly with this one, and it should definitely be done within the next day or so! It might take a li...

What are we covering next?

Alright, so like I alluded to a couple times over the last two weeks or so, the next video is a smaller project covering Resident Evil Gaiden! It's not a smaller project because any less effort is going into it than usual, it's just a very short and simple game compared to what I typically cover on the channel. RE Gaiden continues the streak of weird spinoffs in the Resident Evil franchise, with it being a genuine attempt to recreate the classic RE formula on the GameBoy Color.

It's a p...
