parasite: "i have evolved to be able to completly control my host, and have it do my biding without any kind of resistance."
leon: "and i have evolved *a gun* !"
Parasite: I have evolved to massively increase my hosts muscle mass, bone growth, and rage
Leon: I have evolved a bigger gun!
Well I All For One have come up with even more devastating unforgivable plan. I made the parasite in Ashley make her even more useless and annoying
When did Leon become part Mario? "I have-a evolved a gun!"

During my senior year of high school, we had to make a presentation for our biology class. I used inspiration from RE4 as a base for "How a Zombie Apocalypse could actually happen." My teacher said she'd never seen me so invested in a project before...it was both interesting, and terrifying. I got an A on that project.
Lucky you, If I got that class oh man I would pass with flying colors.

My wife got a parasite in her for around 9 months, and when we finally got it out of her, we found out we're still stuck with it for another 18 years. That was 12 years ago, and I have to admit, it's kinda grown on me. Like some kind of parasitic fungus.
You mean a baby I got the joke your funny
Except a baby is formed by and for your own body. It's like saying your mitochondria are parasites, but even more nonsensical.
funny
ew, reeks of reddit this one does.
It's more of mutualistite. It gives benefits to you, and makes you stronger
You should do a theory on re 7 and 8. Dunno if you could put real-life science to work in those games, but it’d be cool 😂
I mean isn't it just a giant fungus, technically a giant hive mind?
I'd like to see a theory on the goop juice that you use to heal.
Including the one where a person kept constantly mutating? Or the one that goes from a human to a completely sexless, slightly David Bowie-esque being? Those two are probably my favorites besides the one that turns into a giant flower monster
Edit: the ones I listed were Simmons, Morpheus (from Dead Aim), and Alexia Ashford
Does anyone else find that they have a new fear of things pulsating inside their eyes from knowing what's going on with that snail? Utterly terrifying.
Wow

No, especially after matpat said it can't ues humans as hosts, but it was chilling to see something have such an physical impact. A creature that drives you to your own death for its life cycle is terrifying
for real tho!!! grateful it cant get us but i was ready for matpat to include something scary with the birds only to be dissappointed/relieved that the birds just poop em out 😂

Yeerks are real, my childhood fears confirmed
Also remember, Nemesis was made with also parasites, which allowed it to be controlled, to use weapons, etc.
I really hope Matt realizes how much drama he has stirred by saying that viruses aren't living things
Viruses due to their single minded nature are incredibly compact on a cellular level. They make bacteria look like blue whales when compared in size.
We have to use electron microscopes to even observe them because if you tried to magnify a optical microscope to that level you would create a laser.

In my defence... Im not a pathology nerd. Im just a nerd...who can be a bit padantic
All these parasites in the game and the talk about some of them reminds me of the anime called Parasyte: the Maxim.
Great video!! I love that you went into depth about everything!
I was actually thinking of that too watching some of these clips. Some of the plagas forms look very similar to the parasytes. I only recently watched that and it's been years since I played Re 4 so I never made any associations between the 2 until now.
@@BlandoGaming I haven't played Resident Evil 4, yet, but I didn't know those kinds of creatures were in the game until I saw this theory. I've seen Parasyte a couple of times, so once I saw this the connection came easily. I just didn't know anybody else was going to make the connection like you did.
@@samfrancis3336 I really enjoyed Parasyte. Especially the music, which kind of makes me want to see someone swap the Parasyte soundtrack into RE 4 and see if it works well together.
@@BlandoGaming Literally same. I loved the theme song and the ending song. Hmm, I would love to see that too. The theme song might fight lol.
it feels weird seeing a resident evil 4 theory on this channel, its like a DREAM
I'm sorry you have so many bots in your replies man
Why? Matpat has done a R.E theory before
It’s only because of RE4 VR, but I’m not complaining. I would like another about RE in the future as well
Finally.....an RE4 theory.
When I die, I want a copy of that game buried with me.
I hope there's enough space for the chainsaw controller, guide book and steel box version. I haven't had the opportunity to use the controller yet. I think it got water damaged :(
@@fallenangelchaos There may be ways to fix that.
Capcom bout to announce the remake by the way
But then the game will haunt you in the afterlife.... how horrifiying
unless you are fearless like doomguy
Which copy?
I am absolutely fascinated with parasites, especially from a horror standpoint so I’m in love with this episode.
I feel like this a true return to form type of game theory. It's a welcome return, keep it up!
It’s videos like these that make me love the in-universe lore of Resident Evil when it comes to the production of the BOWs and how they can be related to real life organisms.
I'm sorry about the bots but yes the lore is crazy
JESUS SO MANY BOTS
When the vr nightmares aren’t enough and MatPat has to relate it to real life

Enjoy
Ok
Check
This guy!! Why do we see you everywhere, WE NEED ANSWERS
To be fair, a VR game called "Chair in a Room" scared MatPat so much that he had nightmares for weeks.
This is simultaneously really interesting and absolutely terrifying.
Parasite: i shall control my host to do whatever i want!
Leon: i shall control my gun
There are some rare "control Plagas" that do not appear to affect the host's behavior. In fact, it seems more like the host develops a more symbiotic relationship with the parasite with more benefits seemingly going to the host. The hosts of the Control Plagas can control Los Ganados almost without restriction, but it comes at a cost of horribly mutating as the situation calls for it, the latter of which can occur as soon as the parasite enters the body.
cool. so basically venom?
@@projekttaku1 No not at all. Symbiotic (a real life word) =/ Venom (a fictional character)
@@rebelheart4456 I know, I'm just joking.
This is interesting and makes sense when you consider evolution. Because of genetic differences, you're eventually going to find individuals who are just better suited for some organisms than others, and who may develop an adaptation that gives them an advantage, helping them live long enough to reproduce
I remember I was 5 when I played this and all I cared about was shooting zombies, now here I am wanting to learn more about the lore and where this game takes place.
It's always real life arthropods that tend to inspire the creepiest crud in horror games. Chill, nature...

John Carpenter not only inspired enemies via The Thing, but also the siege aspect of gameplay via Assault on Precinct 13.
Also worth noting that in Resident Evil 2 it was Leon's first day on the job, just like Bishop from Assault on Precinct 13
Matpat: “someone keep an eye on the president’s daughter”
The entire secret service: “Write that down write that down!”
Actually Marist. Since I played the remake, I just remembered that even in the classic, a scientist wrote that they were experimenting on the las plagas to see how far they can go and one scientist creates the regenerator. Or was it regenerador. Point is, that creature was basically man made. And why it exist in RE4. True the parasite doesn’t regrow limbs but since it was injected with some sweet delicious science, it now can.
yeh beat the game today, and yes its regenerador even though before i played the game i thought its regenerator. Thought i was the only one reading every log i can see xd

this has to be one of your greatest theories. Honestly this was so cool
resident evil is such an insane series... the only thing I can really find in common is that enemies have orange eyes you have to shoot sometimes
As a native Spanish speaker, I get goosebumps when Mat was saying "the" las plagas.
"Las" can mean "the", so he's saying "the" twice...
"With _au jus"_ is rather weird, too. I'm not a native French speaker, but _"au jus"_ means "with juice," so it ends up reading "with with juice." Also, what Los Ganados shout at you is pretty messed up, huh?
the the plague
FedEx Express is just Federal Express Express.
@@merriquelynn866 DC Comics is just Detective Comics Comics.
True, since the name of the parasite is just "plaga/s", if it was "las plagas" it wouldn't be wrong to say "The las plagas" though
thank you matpat for giving me another reason to never go outside each and every day!

hey mat, when you get to a lake in the vr version, shot the lake multiple times
I’d LOVE to see you so a theory on Alice madness returns, i just love that game and your channel and would be so happy to see the two come together. It could be like one of your older episodes where you diagnose her like with handsome jack✨ just a suggestion
The wasp parasite reminds me of the TMNT episode that scared me the most when I was younger: the one with giant, mutated, parasitic wasps. Absolute nightmare fuel. Another freaky one was the episode based off of Alien, except it was mutant squirrels that would duplicate inside a host before exiting through the host’s mouth.
I remember those things, the stinger pulling out the organ as well? Eugh

Which one did you buy was it the new was RE 8 village
The beginning was spot on matt 👏 👌
Would love to see a play through of the resident evil 4 remake
Just beat re4 on PS4 after like 10 years and just started separate ways
, super strange timing !
The merchant is infected too, how can we tell? I thought he was just taking advantage of the situation he found himself in. Also his "What're ya buyin' " and "what're ya sellin' " lines are very memorable, he speaks like a true capitalist who cares about nothing but gaining more cash. No wonder it's a meme to attack him, in the player's defense his prices were like highway robbery.
At night, his eyes glow the same shade of red as the Ganados. Could be a glitch, but I haven't checked to see in the HD version to see if it's just a glitch.
Except a robbery usually isn’t exactly…
Well…
Ya know…
*Willing*
@@glyphicgames7591 "Willing" is debatable. "Give me this much $ or die" applies whether its at the end of a gun, or the promise of medicine.
@@Chaos89P His eyes still glow red. It's 100% intentional
We can tell the merchant is also affected by las plagas because his eyes glow red during portions of the game where los ganados' and illuminados' eyes glow red. Also the fact he is able to get to places where enemies would usually be able to block their path and the fact enemies will also ignore him, where the same is not applicable to Leon, Ashley and Luis who do get attacked by them.
My personal headcanon is that the merchant was assigned to collect and sell things in exchange for the game's currency and wasn't told to discriminate against outsiders (not sell to them) or to attack them
I love the Game Theorist Videos they are so entertaining
Ahhhhhh! I can't wait to watch this. I ❤️ RE videos.
Seeing my favorite resident evil as a kid come back in VR I was super excited about it. I beat the entire game in day one in under 6 hours. I was very happy with the way they made it.
I'd like to see RE0 thru RE Veronica done in VR now.
Fun fact: The original GameCube version of RE4 contains a unique glitch where sometimes after reopening a save file, Leon will move sideways instead of forward. If you reset the game and reopen the save file though, Leon will walk straight again. Another glitch caused Leon to move much faster than normal, making shooting and slicing a knife much easier.
krplus.net/bidio/iNp-aaiejHC0iH4
.......
Ok
How different is this than the infamous Ditman glitch?
Finally, a video about the best Resident Evil game. Dunno about the VR though.
Late to the party! But!! MatPat mentioned that there is no such thing as a parasite making limbs grow back and I would like to add sort of a half correction. See, there is a parasite that attaches itself to tadpoles and makes it develops extra limbs as it grows into a frog so it can be more easily hunted by predators.
"Up until this point in the series it had always been about zombies." Okay now hold up just one moment. Ill admit RE4 was the first to feature so many monsterous enemies and not really any undead, (or not as much as the prior ones.) But to say they didnt have monsters between the giant snakes and spiders, the horrifying girl with her parents stitched faces, Mr X and nemesis. RE has always had monsters buddy.
I think he just meant as the main enemy you come across
@@cjtherandomizer7638 and i get that too, but even still, monsters had always been a pretty prominent feature of the series. Even before the parasites.
Yeah the monsters were definitely a thing. Lore-wise though, they are still T-Virus (or derivative) made.... So zombie snakes, duh
Also those lizard type monsters and the lickers from re3
Yeah the enemy diversity in the first game was already insane, especially in the remake. It was 2 and 3 that focused too much on zombies.
Anyone else agree that nature is terrifying?

me, a when they cry/higurashi enjoyer: yes, thats exactly how parasites work.
U should do a theory about Prey (2017), Alan Wake, or Control. 3 very amazing games. I'm kinda hoping u can find something in Alan Wake particularly.
Seeing this notification made my day. I never thought I would get to see an RE4 game theory, but I was wrong! Thank you so much Mat Pat, and everyone else on team theorist, for making such incredible videos.
YYAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!
Thank you, Mat Pat, for finally making a Game Theory episode of Resident Evil 4! I'm so hyped for this!
Great video mate lovin it
Please do a game theory on Inscryption! I would love to see all the lore figured out!
A game theory about "The Final Station" would be nice. Someone seriously needs to put the story together.
re4 parasites remind me very much of the parasyte manga/anime. doubly so when they explode out of the head in long blade-tipped whips.
also, while there's not a parasite that can make you regrow limbs, isn't there a frog parasite that makes it grow too many?
Yeah that is true it's a type of

Still waiting on that DELTARUNE theory 😩
I rewatch this video after the new remake released brings me memories
OMG I AM SO HAPPY THIS POPPED UP ON MY REC😭
I think resident evil are my favourite "zombie" games because of the research and real world possibilities of the viruses/Parasites/moulds
Resident Evil 4 Will Never Die In Being A Masterpiece.
3:20-Now this raises just another question.
What's the difference between a single cellular parasite and a bacteria?
I'd never realised, the Plagas parasite is literally the creatures from Parasyte.
Hah, I just thought of that too.
4, 5, and 6 we're my favorites, huge part of my childhood
4, 0, & 1 for me, yes in that order
"would parasites really make a difference?"
me who watches Roanoke gaming AND has more than surface level knowledge on biology: *yes, yes they frigin do*
You should totally make a video on the game "inscription" there is a very deep storyline
i never felt so happy when something related to resident evil 4 is gonna make me happy
Speaking of parasites the weirdest parasite I ever learned about is Rhyzocephala. They are a class of barnacles that as larva inject their insides into a crab, which then grows into a network of flesh filaments inside of the crab like a fungus. Keep in mind that this mass of flesh was originally a crustacean like a shrimp.
Ok
Reading more about them, some also have been found to take control of the crab's nervous system, mutate them into the perfect host via control of hormones, and convert them into lifelong brood hosts and food sources for them and their young. This would have been the perfect, horrible, nightmare fuel to build this video off of, lol
I like that the Hymenoepimecis Argyraphaga looks like a praying mantis (which is my favorite animal) and a wasp had a absolutely beautiful child.
Came back here after a year, and man Mats voice is so different. It’s so weird hearing his higher pitched voice, verses his modern voice and this is only after a year.
I really recommend to do a theory on the cannon story of Madness Combat. I'm referring to the animations and video games.
I know this isn't new but I'm so happy to see you get main stream sponsors. Not just for you and the theorist crew but for KRplus as a whole. If anyone deserves this it's you. Congrats and keep up the (exhausting) great work!!!🙏🙏
Ah yes a game about a infectious thing causing a apocalyptic outbreak so glad this is taking my mind off the news lol
Nice tricking us with the regeneration bit
Subverting our expectations
Sometimes i think if this is a game channel or knowledge / science channel. Well done you got my attention
I swear at this point Mat is just giving us a reason to fear men✋🏽
I've always been scared of man kind.
This kinda comes off as misantryst. 🤔
@@joshuawadsworth6417 they most likely meant men as in mankind. Humans.
Resident evil 3 had this weird section about the train station, where there where no Zombies but this spider thingys that infect you with a Parasite.
I guess they really changed for new enemys
It was really cool not having the mai character beeing immune for some reason from Zombie bites, but also gets i fected by one attack
Still my least favorite part
9:51 Or "del lago" lake monster
aka "Or the lake´s lake monster" xD
I think Matt pat should say "thanks for playing" instead of "thanks for watching" on game theory. It is all about games and you play games
My first experience with RE4 ever was VR and I loved it. I'm on my second playthrough already!
You’re about to tell me the Parasite was actually the hero and we killing it are endangering the world. Then you’ll tell me that’s happening in real life and yes, that can indeed be a thing that exists…
Thanks, Mat!
What the heck is up with these bots

Future Resident Evil theory ideas.

Is the merchant from 4 related to the merchant in 8?

(Ladder zombie pvz) "am i a joke to you.."
