Signs and Spirals: The Tower of Latria
This game is legit my favorite Super Nintendo game. I cant believe I forgot how good it was. The 3rd atage is my absolute favorite with all the clinging to poles and climbing walls. I would love to see a boss like the one in that stage. It was SO cool.
I’ve ascended
I have 5 versions of DeS ps3 version. I've made at least twenty walkthrough. I've the ps5 remake version too. I started it and I play it to the first boss. Than I quit. I finished with this shit. Garbage!
One thing I noted back when I did a deep dive for a Miro document was the choice of corpses, There's unique corpses for the defiled ones, but there are also regular human figures use, which obviously portrays a battle (With the humans being the losing side). And the regular corpses being the ones dropping the faith related materials, so maybe these corpses are either the party that accompanied Astraea into the valley, or a rescue party set alongside Selen.
you missed one of e-hondas tags, in armored core 4 on operation decent or operation ascend, theres a trucks out side the glassed area by buildings that say "e-honda" and "i want much money"
I imagine Latria was a very beautiful and serene place in it’s prime
This is the best video covering the development of the original Dmc. Thanks for your work !
Thank you! Man you should mention "side to side comparisons on various emulators/console" in the title or at least description, I couldn't find such information elsewhere.... They are really helpful!!! :D Now I can finally rest assured knowing my PS3 does suck compared to a 360, and keep playing @ sub-20FPS and regret about every single decision I've made thus far..... :P
Huge
You've mentioned SoTC in the video. When is that comparison coming out? I'd love to watch. Also, there is a video by Ratatoskr here on YT that has a similar take on this to the one you hold. if you're interested.
Is that steam version the same as the console version? would you happen to know? I think the main benefit of this master collection is that I can now play it on a modern system. Yes, that doesn't excuse sloppy work but a slightly sharper texture won't fool me into thinking this isn't a 20yo game.
now i hear OST ,different version to this game?you think nesscey play in 2024?or just play remake?
Boletaria transformed into Disneys castle. Too much personalized, it lost it's soul. Having finished both, the atmosphere isn't the same. I prefere the original one. For me the new version doesn't respect FS and tried to stand out. Problem is they just spit on FS by trying to take possession of a masterpiece. Ffs
as someone who religiously was a fan of sh1-4 in 00s, my opinion about sh2remake is same as about demons souls remake... and recent reveal of bluray disc design just proved again to me that Bloober do not understand source material and can not do "subtle". Sigh.
i hope silent hill f is not cancelled, im waiting for it coz they got spirit hunter: ng illustrator on board; otherwise I recommend you all pay attention to Slitterhead. While its not pure horror like SH or Siren, Toyama-san knows how to make games with deep ideas and soul.
this was so incredible i wish this was way more popular
Well said
Pay him more!
Same spiral concepts is in Shadow of the Erdtree.
Old monk = Midra
I grew tired of these pseudo games for losers that can"t feel anything worthy with real people and lean -fund- towards shallow repetitive mechanics with overloaded "art" because they can't afford a museum. Japan makes the biggest turdcakes in the world and need to be labeled for what it is. Rated J *not a game*.
Video aged like wine
What a gem of a video. Thanks for making these.
6:51 these look exactly like giant tube worms, found in deep sea regions near hydrothermal vents at scalding water temperatures ua-cam.com/video/QffkyLYB_PA/v-deo.html i always wanted to eat one
Just reacquired this game because it’s an absolute blast. Great review!
This is a wonderful analysis. I'd been wondering, from someone who deeply cares, what is it about the remake that fails to resonate. Given I'd never played the original myself this has been hugely informative and really helps me to appreciate that original vision and in a lot of ways feel vicariously disappointed. I'll definitely seek out the original some time for sure.
Hey didn’t expect seeing you here i watched your dark souls videos
The remake changed and retained the wrong things.
please don't kill the crystal geckos 😭
omg, elden ring has chromatic abberation along the sides of the FOV as well and i hate it, in 4k it's super noticable and distracting and its hard to find anyone else online talking about it
omg i cant wait and you know its true to the original because they have the original team silent member!!!
Hey there, a small question: Did you use the 20th anniversary boxset of AC soundtracks as a frame of reference? Because i'm sad to tell you that it is one of the worst mixing jobs around the industry. They quantized all the tracks from their original versions (For both games and individual OST releases) so that's why you might see the soundtrack heavily compressed and laud af. Also, you should learn to play a bit better before throwing around such heavy statements as "clunky" or "slow" to describe 5th gen of AC. Just a friendly advice.
This is hands down the best video about DMC1 that i've ever seen, and i'm not here trying to putting down other content creator who make video about DMC1, but this is just truly the purest love for this specific game at it's finest, cuz the thing that separates this video to any other DMC1 videos out there for me is the usage of the ost from the game for the entirety of this video, and i never seen such a high appreciation for the ost of DMC1 before from any other channel, not to mention the highly detailed trivia about the making of the game ost's it self and the resident evil influences such as that umbrella logo thing (this is literally the first i know about that fact)... too bad UA-cam is always buried any stuff or videos that i always highly have an interest on and rather showing me the same videos that i've already seen over and over again, it's really sucks, but i really hope you get more subscribers man, cuz this video is really have a high quality
What about the game Haunting Ground?
You were right. you were absolutely right
I’m so mad it took me 2 years to find this video Real phenomenal stuff man!
what's the music that plays at 20:45
"One Who Craves Souls" from the PS3 version of Demon's Souls.
you already made me want to play it on the first 40 seconds of the video lol
Very nice analysis, thank you.
Just wanted to leave a comment to express my thanks for making this series. Demon's Souls is easily my favorite of From's titles and it's great to see people diving deep into the game's levels and lore
Esta es mi película favorita de todos los tiempos desde que la vi por primera vez en el cine en Girona (España) en el invierno de 1982 con mi padre, nunca olvidaré ese día Y no me había dado cuenta de lo del coro en el bluray normal yo tengo tambien la de Arrow y creo que es de lo mejor que a salido de esta compañía es una verdadera joya Gràcias por el vídeo te lo agradezco mucho que le dedicaras a la pelicula de Conan Un abrazo
I just watched episode 6 of Sopranos for the first time and realized where the ending of this video came from lol
so are you happy you can use Torrent in the boss fight now? :D I know I am
The color and music changes were too drastic, and lower the quality of the game.
At lest you can use the original filter in the Remake
more of a patch work plus the lighting and color design needs to be reworked which will never happen
love this video. Wish more people saw this and realized why the original was better. but it's sad how many people go "ooo, shiny graphics and orchestra! So much better!" for the remake.
It just bugs me how much they've changed as I have become attached to many of the original's designs. Now that the remake has been out for a while, I know that even the man-slug-scorpion monsters were drastically changed. When I was younger the circumstances of my upbringing had me become like one of these enemies in looks and behavior. It was hard to recover from something like that, but now that their design is so different, all my emotion connected with them are no more. Sad how much the lighting and the fadility can excuse discarding the original game's art style nowadays
idk the remake looks like blurry eye pollution
I would appreciate a analysis on demons souls remake with the green shader available in the options menu
The first game is, to this day, still fascinating. I wonder what would've happened to the Resident Evil franchise if they continued with this project.
Love the video. Lots of appropriate critiques, but one thing I would like to chime in on. While I’m not a developer, I am friends with someone who worked at SIE during the PS3/PS4 days for both Sony Santa Monica, and Bend Studio shortly after. According to him the PS3 architecture really held back games big time memory wise, and that’s why environments tend to be very bare in a lot of games. It’s amazing what devs like Naughty Dog were able to do with TLOU and Uncharted without any major compromise, but Demon’s Souls in particular cut a lot of corners with its environment design simply because of how dark it was in certain sections. They were able to reduce load time and framerate issues by reducing color in scenes like Tower of Latria, and Valley of Defilement/Swamp of Sorrow. Same goes with the clouds, and banners hanging from the castle walls in Boletaria. I know it may sound silly because it’s such a small detail, but FS fit a lot of details already in such a small space, and that takes up a lot of memory. Can only take up so much before it completely compromises the entire games performance, unfortunately. Wanna point out one change I didn’t like at all in the remake. In Tower of Latria instead of yellow cloth/flags hung from the poles everywhere they were changed to red. Seemingly because of what the color signifies, so I’m guessing Bluepoint didn’t make the connection with yellow and the Old Monk’s corruption taking over and how it affected the world around him🤦🏻♂️ it’s a small detail, and honestly I don’t REALLY care, but for the FS fans that are passionate about the lore it’s those details that can really get their panties in a bunch lol
Wow man, these are amazing videos. Really good observations and sources for your points, I really need to check out The King in Yellow. I didn't even notice the spiral theme of Latria even though it's quite obvious when pointed out. I'm sure on a subconscious level most people feel it while playing through the levels.
13:00 I am really, really happy that somebody else took notice of these kinds of things. I thought I was the only person who ever thought of ideas like, "Maiden Astrea is giving birth to the babies." Great and informative video. I made a reddit post about the "giving birth" theory a while back, literally 20 days after this video came out, without knowing about it. That's pretty funny. Although nowdays I've been less into the idea, and it's probably not as deep. I'm guessing it's just a reference to actual medieval practices of discarding babies/fetuses. Still, considering what happens later in the series, and how the series philosophically views self-sacrifice, it's not too far-fetched of an idea. I'm unsure.
