    Ironically, Doom's original creator Tom Hall conceived of a game that was to all extents and purposes closer to Half Life, with a wide world you progress through gradually and a story that unfolds slowly as you play. John Carmack's aforementioned quote about storytelling in games is a big reason Tom Hall left Id Software before his own game was finished, and why the finished game had all these atmospheric elements stripped out of it entirely. (Doom 3 was much closer to Hall's original concept, of course, but by then Half Life had already done it.)

    My controversial opinion: Sonic The Hedgehog for Sega Master System/Game Gear is a better designed game than it's Mega Drive parent. Despite the name it isn't a port, the new levels all have better story progression, it's just a better experience. Despite being 8 bit.

    Lobotomy Software created a legendary game here. It's actually shocking to think they ended up in the obscurity of doing game ports and then folding. They definitely deserved a better fate.

  • @lancebaylis3169
    @lancebaylis3169 6 днів тому

    The simple version is that the Playstation got an incredibly decent port of the PC game to a platform that by rights should have struggled to run it, while the N64 got basically the Quake II equivalent of Doom 64... an entirely new campaign. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. It's a surprisingly even match.

    Did you play this on original hardware or via emulation? I used an emulator on a Gameboy style handheld and the controls were amazing. The platforming sections felt so smooth. I had so much fun with this game. It’s just an all around banger in my opinion. Even the bad stuff like the story and cutscenes are so cheesy that they’re awesomely hilarious.

    Heavenly sword is the gold standard for the genre. Pretty much everything about it is perfect. Its also one of the only games that did a good job with sixaxis implementation. Maybe the block/counter mechanics could be criticised, they can be somewhat finicky. Some people think its too short, but i think its the perfect length for what its trying to achieve. Edit: the game runs quite well on Rpcs3, so you dont need to experience it on the PS3s outdated hardware. Ps. I completely disagree with your opinion on the motion control. I thought it was smoothly and intuitively implemented to the point i wish other games had copied it. Its what made the turret sections fun and unique.

    alien trilogy has a great atmosphere and music/sound fx. its too repetitive though, and the boss fights were also not very inspiring. resurrection is more on the survival horror side, but very hard and the levels are too dark. for their time, great games though.

    1:40 I know, very late reply, but this wasn´t Aubrey´s Swansong for these Ports. He did the Soundtrack for the N64 Port / Version of Quake 2, though he was credited under a different Name. He also did the Soundtrack for the Dreamcast Port of Quake 3.

  • @Macho_Man_Randy_Savage
    @Macho_Man_Randy_Savage 2 місяці тому

    played both of these one after another, using emulation to get the best experience, two very different but good games for the time. trilogy is really fun and well paced but the repetitive boss fights and maze like levels of the 90s with hidden doors and surprise elevators does get annoying but it's just a product of its time and music slaps. resurrection is very impressive and atmospheric with pretty good controls for the time but not being able to run when everyone else can move super fast, the marines, too many face huggers and brutal "easy" difficulty does test your patience at times. i find it odd that it wasn't voiced either, apart from the one marine encounter...and yes, i cheated to replenish health and ammo when things got ridicules...i'm not wasting my sanity on beating a 24 yo game that clearly wasn't meant to be finished lol yeah i wouldn't recommend playing resurrection unless you really have to. skip it and play medal of honor instead, one of my all time favorite ps1 fps games and is the game that kicked off the wwii trend seen in the 2000s - ps i never watched any the alien movies...

    Doom 64 is by far my favorite doom game. Its atmosphere is incredible, Aubrey Hodges did such a good job on the music. I remember playing this in my basement in the pitch black darkness during the winter… so scary. One time the console or the CRT tv picked up some interference and rendered one of those dragon statues on the screen and froze. Needless to say I turned it off and retreated from the basement…

  • @MikeReiner
    @MikeReiner 2 місяці тому

    I found using the dpad for forward/backward plus strafing and the stick for all aiming in a similar vein to the right stick in modern shooters made this game very playable to me. Admittingly changing weapons can be tricky since L is jump and Z is fire, but I manage. There's something about the blurry 3D aesthetics of N64.. dark environments, Aubrey Hodge's creepy soundtrack.. the general gothic themes.. hard mode, an N64 controller.. the fact you cannot save scum.. it all makes playing this extremely tense and rewarding. Getting killed by the last shambler again at the end of the crypt of decay was an actual fear, something I don't ever experience crushing this game trivially on PC.

  • @davidmorin2818
    @davidmorin2818 2 місяці тому

    I think the reason why the enemy animations aren't as smooth on N64 because that version used the Quake 1 64 engine which didn't have animation interpolation, meaning that it snaps between animation key frames without smoothing in between them (if I'm even explaining it properly)

    I'll give Team Silent an A for effort in an attempt to try and do something different at the time for the Silent Hill series but in terms of replayability and what not it didn't quite work. Most likely because of the lack of the dark environments which is what the previous titles had. The part where you always come back to your apartment room and to a place of safety was a nice touch and then when halfway through the game the room gets possessed and the hauntings can hurt you if you didn't get rid of them via candles
