Re: Resident Evil (1996) - all scenes / Metal Gear Solid - 1998 (almost all codec calls)
For RE (1996) / DC (1997) I decided to not only display all the several scenes, I looked into the rooms and objects, contemplating them, the same for the letters and the rest. I gave enough time for the viewer to read what the texts said, for example.
That's why it took so many hours to record everything. It was all saved in FRAPS @ 1080p-60fps. Game Shark codes were used (also for MGS), to make things easier.
This project tried to once and for all encompass all aspects from this game.
Besides what the FAQ instructed, I did the following:
- Video #1
- Kenneth's Body after Zombie Attack 2: 6:34:04 - Watch this video for more info:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpFmT8FF15Y
Kenneth's legs are missing if Jill take too long to go there. This is a cool "easter egg" that many have not paid enough attention.
Wesker dead in the Power Room (the last room with Chimeras/Lab Monsters): 8:23:54 - many people never realize Wesker is there (where he triggered the alarm), because they don't have to return to this room to complete the game.
I too thought he escaped, but he was actually killed. That's also why he returns as a zombie in the Sega Saturn version, in a mini-game.
Video #2
- Scene 4b-c: Fail to save her: The Hunter decapitates Rebecca after you take too long to reach the Library (not mentioned by the FAQ): 4:07:22
And:
- Jill - The locked door from the 2F that has a keypad (note: only Jill can open, after Barry gives her the pass number): 4:35:47 - there's nothing special about this part, it's only a shortcut, still many people think this is a secret room that can NEVER be opened. It can, but it's a path you don't bother to go after you move further in the game. And, of course, Chris can't do it.
Briefly commented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkMz9ePu_Ho
- Chris - Unlimited Rocket launcher, Special Key and the wardrobe room: 4:45:16
- Jill - Unlimited Rocket launcher, Special Key and the wardrobe room: 4:52:32
One thing odd about the original Resident is that once we change the clothes we can't go back and use the original ones. This was fixed in the Director's Cut.
MISSING FROM VIDEO #2 (CHRIS): NEPTUNE CGI (unfortunately I was unable to activate this for him). It's exactly like the one from Jill, the only difference is that it shows Chris's back in the last 1-2 seconds.
ADDED TO VIDEO #2: (all these from the japanese version):

As for Metal Gear it was impossible to enable all the codec calls (that's why I said ALMOST ALL), and I have not reviewed that full text dump TXT file and removed the duplicate entries (compared to my recording), while writing in a new file the order in which my videos show these dialogues.
I started doing that:

Yet have stopped, since it was taking too much time.
For the record, this is the full text dump:

BTW, Resident Evil 2 has easter eggs, too:

And here the hidden gate angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwPf8jcl2qk
If I could find a similar FAQ I could do another recording.
We are still waiting on a suitable Amiga AGA emulator with robust recording features before tackling such games.
