The Spencer Estatement

Huzzah, we're back! Part 2 of our Mansion Incident discussion covers the beloved, groundbreaking RESIDENT EVIL remake from 2002 (aka "REmake"). We dive into its development history, the wacky changes and upgrades to the game & design, plus cover some more of the character aspects as always.

We’re back from hiatus and going all the way back to the beginning with an in depth look into Resident Evil 1! Join us for this in depth conversation about the development history and lore of the original 1996 classic. There's also a HECK of a lot of NEWS to cover! Wow!

The dust settles on the Resident Evil 3 remake and the gang of Vanessa, Paul, and Chris convene to discuss the aftermath. A review of the likes, dislikes, enthusiastically gabbing about the horrors of this return to Raccoon City. Covering the changes in scenario's pacing, monster adjustments, the gameplay mechanics, environmental storytelling, and some character highlights, it's a lot of banter, a lot of talk, and some theorizing. A mix of what was liked and what were disappointments. A little bit of this, a little bit of that! In the news, the group covers the recent Resident Evil VIllage trailer released in June 2020. 

It's March 2020. The Resident Evil 3 remake is almost out. And so Vanessa and her fellow nerds decide to take a trip into the Raccoon City trilogy's finale - RESIDENT EVIL 3: NEMESIS. On the way, they make a stop in with the news of the REmake3 demo's release and a discussion of it. Then it's time for analysis and discourse. The trio cover the unique design of the later-PSone era title, the way it expanded the franchise's most memorable location, and some of the characters the player gets to play as or encounter along the journey of Jill Valentine's last escape. Join us, won't you?

Join Vanessa and her companions as they chat up the latest Resident Evil news (circa Feb 29, 2020), before they brave the depths of the massive turning point that is Resident Evil 7: BIOHAZARD. Heavily emphasizing discussion of the Beginning Hour demo, the design similarities to the original Resident Evil/BIOHAZARD, the use of different film homages, and some analysis of the characters. Capcom stepped their game up and so we, too, did the same! Join us, won't you? *NOTE* We had some audio issues on this episode, but have figured out solutions for next time. After cleaning things up, we felt it was good enough to post, but the last 40 minutes or so has some minor static.

The trio of the Spencer Estatement delve once more into the Resident Evil 2 remake, going in-depth analyzing its cast of characters, along with game flow, its environmental storytelling, and featuring some thoughts on the recent (as of late January 2019) news within the Resident Evil franchise. May contain some amounts of nerdy discussion and geeky conjecture.

In the first episode of The Spencer Estatement, Vanessa and pals introduce themselves, talk up the recent Resident Evil 2 remake released in 2019, compare it to the original game from 1998, and try to avoid going on too many tangents or cosines. A mix of nostalgia and analysis is the atmosphere of this episode, so much so that maybe the gang of survivors won't be able to escape this topic just yet. But that's okay... it's only the beginning!
