You think Jill would have been less in your way if you left her on Active and not Cover?   Usually fixed all problems with Sheva.

My favorite part was the monotone yell Brad and Vinny pulled out when the guy fell on the stairs. And they totally called pretty much everything that happened in the beginning.

Can we stop with the "herp derp no zombies in the zombie game" nonsense? 
 
If there are no zombies in the game, then guess what?  It isn't a zombie game.  Sorry if this revelation shakes the very foundation of your soul, but damn you guys can be cynical about storyline changes.

Horrible, this series is dead to me, or perhaps undead is the correct term.  The stupid AI partner, horrible controls and interface issues make it unplayable.  I'll remember the greatness of RE4, and hope one day they make a RE game that either works like 4 or just plays like Gears.  Shit, at this point I'd take a Lost Planet engine game with RE, maybe then it would be fun.

RE 5 controls can be just set up just the same as the controls in RE 4.  Of course RE 4 is a much better game, but it's not the controls that make RE 5 worse than its predecessor.

That was probably the worst attempt at a jump scare I can think of. And also proof of why ragdolls kind of suck. Sometimes scripting is a better option. Especially if it means a body won't slowly slide down some stairs

HA!  You guys are funny as always.  I really appreciate the quick look, because I now know that I never want to download this.  Now I for one have fairly fond memories of the Resident Evil series going back to the first one.  Though the way the plot revelations try to paint a better picture for the "fiction" make me want to say "give me a fucking break Capcom!"  All that the name "Wesker" ever implied, is that the original creators couldn't think of a less goofy ass american-sounding last name for a less than stellar antagonist.  The only concrete character revelation I remember from the first game, was a weird ass photo with Wesker wearing a lab coat (and also sunglasses!) with a bunch of Umbrella scientists.  All anyone ever needed to know about the plot is: Zombie Sharks! 

 
Again thanks for the video guys!  I enjoyed it a great deal and I'm looking forward to more.  Please do one for Deadly Premonition. Need more weird quick looks!  Itchy Tasty.

President Evil is the user name of a guy called Dan Birlew who wrote plot analyses for games like Silent Hill and the RE series, and went on to write a bunch of strategy guides for Brady.

LOL, that was pretty weak. I bet even the ragdoll felt embarrassed to be there. "Damn I moved... maybe if I move a bit more it'll look creepy. Shit, it's not working. Maybe they didn't see."

Gross, Brad is using the strafing control scheme.  RE4 style all the way.  But for $5 this was good for a night.  The only bad thing is the way the doors only open for 1 player, like the original RE's.  It looked cool, but it gets annoying.

Nice, Brad totally survived a quicklook, pretty lengthy one too. Granted, there were maybe four opportunities to die, but still, nice work. That said, no interest at all in this DLC pack.

It's not that much, it's only 400 points on 360 and the equivalent on PSN.

They made some BS explanation in a computer at some point about how the mind-control serum the dealie on Jill's chest was pumping out had a side-effect of bleaching her hair. Come on, Capcom, there's nothing wrong with wanting to try a new look for your character, just admit it.

This DLC got me interested in this game. Shame the rest of the game isnt like this though. I havent played resident evil since RE3 so this QL was almost like watching a remake of RE1. All its missing is the hammy acting, and the zombie in the dining room.

Haha I like how Brad just runs in circles at the end so he wouldn't die while talking. He's getting more and more paranoid about dying in quick looks.

Yeah, my fault: this add-on is definitely $4.99 on PSN and 400 points on XBL, not $10 as stated in the video.

I love how Vinny remembers nothing about RE5's story. Speaks to how forgettable and stupid it was.
 
Also, there's paper that's not sensitive to heat?
