You cover all obscure cool games and I love you for it. Now you've reviewed one that doesn't exist. You know no limits
Mr CynicalOptiMystical He’s ascended through the astral plane
Lulu Smith, I think you mean the Newmaker Plane.
Mr CynicalOptiMystical the reason why I liked this channel..
I'm sure it was coded by the owner of the channel using a game making software (Unity3D for example), making that it does exist in a sense. I hope the game gets released on Gamejolt or Itchio, so I can try it out myself.
Somehow, he completely skipped The Witch's House, which is probably the best RPG horror game out there.
You hitting the Halloween Specials the same time stores start selling Halloween stuff
and this stuff is that good candy
Ayy, fellow Madoka fan.
I don't know why, but I love it when the Halloween stuff starts showing up in stores.
+Billy Smiles your profile picture is spooky
Fun fact: Petscop can be pronounced "pet shop" in Old English (not like Shakespeare, much older). Idk if it even plays into the lore but in Old English "sc" is often seen as an "sh" sound. Biscop, for instance, is "bishop". It messes up my brain to see it, though.
Holy... I hope you're right cause this is fuckin interesting !
Kim Ménard latin ahem.
@@mirabletest Latin? I dont understand what you want to add in the discussion :p so please, explain your point :)
Ah, old English. English before it took it up the butt from Latin.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who love goldfish plants.
That's a dead kid!
*Y E P*
*I T ' S H I M !*
12:46
It has to be...
Kids gonna die tonight
I hope after all of this is said and done, the creator will do a behind the scenes and show us how he did everything.
:/
@@ImmaDoWhatIWant i mean he's revealed quite a lot on twitter at least
I wish. People are still theorizing how he achieved the ps1 resolution effect.
Oof
My (totally real and not a joke) Petscop theory: it is secretly a Nitro Rad project. You know all the answers because they are coming from you.
Tyler Owens I AM HOW TO BASIC
But then...who was phone?
*X-files music plays*
Dan D Mann Is that reference to what I think it is?
Yes, and I am How To Basic xd
who is this handsome man and why is he in my suggestions
Nitro Rad, and he's also pretty awesome too!
Are you his mom you sound like his mom
@@harrylane4 yes i haven't seen him in years please come home son
Watch some of his older videos, he looked like an incel in his Yume Nikki video.
Thirsty, lol
Everyone! Petscop has come to an end! We now know who created it! He released the game's soundtrack! The guy, Tony, even made more games before, one of them even called Nifty, supposedly made by, guess who... Garalina.
António Braçais
We did it everyone , Petscop theories are no more
Really? Do you have a link about it?
Haha nifty-
Hazbin Hotel-
@spoon he won't, but there's a collective effort in recreating it as another game, Giftscop.
@spoon apparently, it ain't really a game, it's either more of an animation tool, or a very scripted program.
It's entirely possible that the Petscop creator built the game on a Net Yarozee system, making it legitimately run on PlayStation hardware. It would explain how the game is so accurate to PlayStation software. I believe it was even suggested in-story that that was how the game's creator made the game. As for the possibly fake low resolution; the Net Yarozee system was made to allow you to run the games you create on your computer so you can, you know, make them. It could be that the Petscop creator had to recreate the low resolution after running it directly on his computer.
Kurt Yarish you’re a genius. Like, I know what net yarozee is (thanks caddi) but everyone forgot it was even a thing! That’s probably the Asnswer...good on ya sir...
Or coded and played off of PCSX.
@@INANNAISHERE Yes, fellow Caddi fan!
>September
>Halloween special
Taking the meme to the next level
Nitro Rad makes the best Halloween specials. His amazing Silent Hill series brought me here, and as we all know one does not simply leave Silent Hill...
I noticed when you were scrolling through the videos, you changed some of the channel names like the Game Theorist to "The Lame Theorists" and Pyrocynical to "PoopyStinker" that was just a nice little edit I liked.
I actually thought that was uncalled for, disrespectful and in really poor taste.
@@the-NightStar Yeah, I can see what you mean.
ᵗʰᵉNight★Star it’s a childish joke it isn’t like he called them shit content creators
you guys relieze he’s joking around, jeez man why do we have to give you this lesson again old man
@@thirdeye6258 Well he called Pyro "poopystinker"... so yeah he actually is calling him shit.
This is one of your finest works James and I do not say that lightly. HALLOWEEN SPECIAL TIME!!!
@Razz Games SPOOKTOBER IS NEVER OVER!!!
Not a well known fact: It' Halloween all year round. I mean, if Christmas stuff can be sold in August already...
I've never seen somebody actually analyze the actual game design or even paid attention to. That's what I like about your channel. Also nice Don Hertzfeldt wallpaper, James.
Pyrocynical talks about Petscop? I sleep. Nitro Rad talks about Petscop? I'M WOKE.
*real shit?*
Pyro's Petscop 2 got leaked.
pyro actually had a really well made video on it tho. i really wish he made a second one
@@magiccheese5321 shut
L R5 wat
Nice. Had the pleasure of working on some of the textures for the fan re-creation. Awesome vid!
An early Halloween video? I'm not complaining, it's Nitro Rad after all.
Early Halloween videos are like early Christmas presents always a welcoming suprise
There's a starman waiting in the sky Its so early even speedwagon is afraid.
Every game theory channel ever: “What does it mean?” Then gives some long winded explanation as a recap to make them seem smart
Nitro Rad: “What does this all mean?” Straight up acknowledges the fact he has no clue what’s going on and admits he’s not smart enough to figure it out just like the rest of us watching petscop.
GOD I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
He's no big brain.
No one knows for sure what the fuck is going on anyway. So all those theory youtubers say a bunch of bull to get clicks etc. Especially matpat oh how has this guy fallen.
You're a little late with this video. Halloween went 11 months ago :)
Little early don’t u mean
GreyFurns wooooshh
r/wooooooooooooosh
WHOOOSH
r/woooooooosh
Every genuine reaction he has.
“thats a dead kid”
Lmao
Halloween? James it's february, get a grip!
Mac Marvin it’s September
Mac dude, where you at that it February?
Yup, definitely February
It is currently morndas of hearthfire
Jason Dembowski Jr ... thats the joke...
Wow, you predicted the game recording inputs from previous players for the demos
Good going
I don't know what's scarier. The series being discussed in this video or the fact that this video is called "Halloween Special" and it's less than 2 weeks into September.
Thanksgiving isn't even finished and people put up Christmas decorations where I live.
@@reddodeado301 you don't hide Easter eggs in September?
Good choice of music in the start! Didn't know you were a fan of the original Deus Ex, Nitro. Cheers!
Good choice at 9:53 too. Some Bossa Nova from Bomberman Hero on the Nintendo 64.
Also, nice choice of music at 6:15. It's Phazon Mines from Metroid Prime. I love it. Well done, Nitro.
Dude, your "parallel time" and "Tiara using the texture editor" theories are genius and make way too much sense. My mind's been blown
I wonder if Petscop was made through the use of Net Yaroze if it's still possible to make games on it nowadays
Travis Thunderpaw Is it? Wow, that'd be interesting if that's the case.
Damm I swear to fuck if it was I'd die
So guys, we did it, we finally get to hear Nitro Rad talk about Petscop...
craziest woman ever eats sand
a game that doesn't even exist
Nitro Rad: explaining his theory on how they might've achieved the PS1 look
me, aspiring game dev and ARG enthusiast: taking notes
Coming back to this after Petscop 17-24 is surreal because of how accurate the predictions were. The game did save previous recordings of other people playing the game, and it might explain why the other characters seem to have a mind of their own. It’s scary how accurate the prediction was lol
The general creativity and meta media presentation makes it incredible, thanks for covering it
OH MY GOD! I love petscop, I can't believe you covered it
Dude I know this video is 4 years old but you seriously need to make one covering Sheriff Domestic. Dude that made it just released a new episode like, yesterday.
Heeelllllll yes dude I love Petscop. I wasn't expecting you to cover it but I figured it was up your alley. What a pleasant surprise you made a video on it.
Also holy shit, BNHA poster and World of Tomorrow desktop. Nice.
This is a tangent from this incredible video on Petscop, but that kill la kill poster makes me happy man. My respect for you has increased tenfold
My theory is that Paul is actually making a game, called Petscop. He’s actually gonna release this game, and he’s posting this series of videos to drive up interest for the game, so that when he releases it thousands of people will buy it. This makes sense to me as it’d explain why the game is so well made, because Paul is actually a game developer that’s making a new game.
That’s just my theory, and even if it’s wrong I really hope Paul releases the game someday. If it’s running on a real console, then the ISO file, if not, then the .exe.
Man now that I think about it a lot of old writers used to write fictional stories saying they took them from an old diary or something. Maybe Paul is doing the same thing!
You should really check out Concluse, Helltown and Ok/Normal!
They're all heavily inspired by games of the late 90s with both Concluse and Helltown taking heavy inspiration from Silent Hill, Jacob's Ladder and David Lynch.
Ok/Normal is more like LSD Dream Emulator meets a horror game with platform elements.
Especially Concluse is scary. Even though it was a free game it scared the shit out of me like no other game did in a long time!
EDIT: Concluse was also set up to look like a webseries (just like Petscop), from all the games I recommended to you, this is the scariest one!
I would love a Crash Bandicoot Metroidvania
I never knew I wanted this until now
That would be interesting honestly
First video I've watched that considered the production side of Petscop. I liked it! It feels weird to step back out of the lore and into the real world and consider how this project is actually made, but in a good way. Petscop is so immersive for me that considering the actual steps someone was going through to make this happen hadn't really occurred to me. So thanks for encouraging that line of thought and speculating in that direction!
just realized... but... that was an awfully interesting sentance there.
"leaving evencare"
Leaving Even Care"
noo??? just me???
You might have something there
you sick fuck
I always thought that "Even Care" was the correct way to pronounce it
I love the concept of Petscop. Video games are a fairly new medium in themselves, and Let's Plays even newer. I bet we'll start to see more of these kinds of productions in the future though. I highly recommend people check out Supergreatfriend's series of Bully Demise let's plays spread over a number of games, one of the earliest examples of a continued narrative told through Let's Plays.
I personally think that Marvin and his missing friend's sister adopted Care and then divorced a while after. The green squares on the calender could represent the days that Care spends with Marvin, and the white squares represent the days Care spend with her mother. At first the squares only appear on weekends, for short amounts of time. They then appear every other day, and then every day. I think Marvin broke into Care's room and kidnapped her from his ex wife. This has a few holes, but the whole calender thing immediately reminded me of my friend who stays with his dad on weekends because his family is divorced. Hope this helps.
Yakuza & Persona cameo in nitro rad video?! Awesome video btw :)
Oh yeah, it's close to the spooky season. So, still planning to cover clocktower?
Goodbye, Petscop. We will miss you.
unexpected but very much welcome. i love petscop.
I love petscop because of the person you play as. I haven’t played a ps 1 game (yet) but I really like it. If I was going to make a game it would have graphics similar to petscops. But it won’t be scary
A surprise, to be sure. But a welcome one.
I watched the entirety of Petscop (so far) yesterday. I think I was too scared to truly analyze what was being shown, but you've certainly got me interested. This really is one heck of a project.
Review Petscop Two Oh wait *_You're Not Pyro_*
*WHERE'S PETSCOP 2 LIBTARD*
wait wrong video
Petscope part 4 come on wait your not game theory ugghhhhh
yea- no wait *-you're not bullying pyro-*
so guys we-
Wait wrong video
Oh MY what an incredible concept! I didn't knew that Petscop wasn't a game until I saw this.
Thank you for reviewing this, you're my absolute fave UA-camr! ^^
Hey James, apparently Petscop ended almost a year after you posted this video.
you'll make an update talking about it someday?
Halloween special already?
I’m not complaining. This video is awesome!
I guess I'll come back and finish watching this once I actually watch the videos, good to know that unlike ben drowned there's not a whole bunch of other mediums through which the story's told that make it harder to follow. Read up on Candace Newmaker, that's downright sickening. I don't understand how someone could allow that.
My favorite game related youtuber goes through my favorite creepy game series on youtube. It’s not Halloween, it’s Christmas.
*THAT'S A DEAD KID!*
finally, a content creator that caters to my september halloween cravings.
You mention several times about Petscop supposedly being a game from Paul's childhood, but iirc he never says or implies anything like that.
Paul is presently a child though. And yes, it is mentioned that it was given to him as a child
Halloween special in the middle of September; up my alley
covering a series that I've been passionate about for the past year that deserves all the recognition; very very up my alley
thank you
also, as you're now free to watch other videos covering the series, I would highly recommend the video series from Nightmare Masterclass. covers things very well, doesn't give credence to the Candace Newmaker silliness.
woah big spooky
time to wait until nighttime to sit in a dark room under a blankie to watch this again...
The intro I was hoping for: "As you may know, I cover games not many people have played, so we are discussing the game you *all* have played"
CAN WE PLEASE JUST ENJOY SUMMER A LITTLE BIT MORE BEFORE WE JUMP INTO HALLOWEEN
Shut 🔪👻
Marshmallow Pie *DUDE ITS ALREADY FALL*
I like that you made a review of a game that doesn't even exist
Might be time for an update since the series finished
I was a little wary at first when I clicked on this video, as other game reviewers/channels have not done this web series much justice. But I am thoroughly impressed with your understanding of the material and the way you handled it. I think I am also inclined to agree with the bulk of your theory, and would love to hear you elaborate more on it. GREAT video!
Good on you for trying not to retread ground. GG
this is honestly the best video I've watched for petscop. it actually makes sense and helps piece some of the more confusing parts together, as well as explain some of the more technical stuff I'd never know. this is so, so good, keep it up!! :)
Every time I see one of these ARG's based on a game for a retro console, especially the PS1, I can tell straight away it isn't running on real hardware, now, I don't claim to be an expert in PS1 hardware (I've put more time into the Saturn), but I do know that it has two hardware flaws that are not accounted for in this, the first being linear approximation, which would result in affine texture warping (for an extreme case look up Darxide on the SEGA 32x). The second being what I call vertex popping (the real name escapes me) caused by the low accuracy of the geometry engine, look at the snow-covered floor in the first level of Tomb Raider, notice those black lines that appear every time the camera moves, that's what I'm referring to. These issues can be reduced (normally by subdividing polygons), but not entirely rectified, the grassy area, which appears to be an infinite scrolling playfield, would be plagued with both these issues, not to mention taxing on the hardware (only the Saturn's VDP2 could render perspective correct infinite playfields without affecting performance). I honestly think they should have said it was a Dreamcast game, as it has none of the aforementioned issues, and there's no easy way of ripping GD-ROM discs (in contrast, PS1 games are the easiest to rip, thus no "ISO when?").
Another issue I have is naming the channel "Petscop", it kinda breaks the illusion of "a random guy got a hold of an unreleased game", it's like a you-tuber creating a new account for every play-through, he should of just used his name or a random alias like everyone else.
Daniel M Your criticism of the channel structure has become an actual plot point. Are you a prophet?
GuyBronson Wait, what exactly do you mean?
also didnt dreamcast have a big indie dev following? if they said petscop is on dreamcast i would even believe for a second that its somewhat real
dude. your Halloween specials are my ABSOLUTE favorites and the ones from years ago made me subscribe
I'm glad I'm not the only one starting halloween festivities way too early lol
Hearing the Persona 5 music at the end really confused me because I was playing Person 5 while I was watching this and I thought the music in game was overlapping.
Also thanks for another great episode Nitro.
If I don't see a dreaming mary video for this spoopy time of year, I'll be disappointed.
Dreaming Mary is great
I am excited for the potential of future videos. This is a style that really works for you channel!
An excellent video as always , I would really like if you review the metal gear series
He explained in Petscop 14 that he lost his recorded video for part 13 but still had the audio. He then learned that the game records his gameplay as a demo, so he used the recorded demo footage as the video footage with his original audio, and since the demo "world" is slightly different in places than in the normal one his audio sometimes didn't fit because it wasn't what he was seeing when he recorded the audio. Also I don't think the mother was actually Jill as she seemed very confused when care called her that, stating that no one else was there, and more importantly paul sayd that he thinks that it was based on a conversation he had at his birthday and that he needed to call Jill.
12:46
"That's a dead kid!"
Yo James I really appreciate the new approach you took to this review! I've watched a couple others and, while the story theories are interesting and spooky, the game design aspects you brought up were fascinating. Thanks again for a great video!
Now that Petscop's over, do you think you might make a follow-up video?
I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between the filters but I love your videos
Even the happy part of this game is creepy af
Best most unique Petscop review/analysis ever . Fantastic job Nitro Rad . I love how you didn't watch other videos on it , so it makes your opinion and commentary fresh and interesting .
Omg Nitro Rad!! It's not even October! You're so crazy!!
Omg the Bomberman Hero music in every video gets me so hyped for you to cover it
"Somebody finds an old game they loved as a kid" NO, his mother received it from another family member and never played it, her son found it one day and decided to play it.
I actually screamed of happiness when I saw the notification! I absolutely love ARGs and creepy web series, and got even more excited since you never covered anything like this before. Also it's really cool that you've delved into the production when no one really made a video about it. At first I though maybe the person was actually making it for the PS1 and recording for it, while using Net Yaroze (but after some time and talking to other people I came to a similar conclusion that it was made for the PC and given the proper effects). Can't wait to see what's more do you have up your sleeve this Halloween special! :D
“Halloween special”
*10 of September*
Me: H M M M 🤔 🤔
It’s not October yet, but Nitrorad plus Petscop is more of a Christmas gift.
Halloween Special?
It's not even October yet boi
I know this is far from the main point of the video, but your talk about video games as a storytelling medium is my JAM.
The problem there is when games focus way too much on the story telling and not enough on the gameplay, you're left with "games" that have close to zero gameplay and obnoxiously long unskippable cutscenes.
🤔
EDIT: Is this a new fad? Christmas in July, Halloween in September?
Christmas in July
Panasonic Blu ray
Of all the Petscop analysis videos on UA-cam, This one's my favorite. You did an awesome job!
Nitro uploaded
My pants have left the server
WOOT WOOT YOU FINALLY DID PETSCOP
not gonna lie ive been waiting a while for you to find out and cover this weird, obscure series
NITRO RAD I KNOW WHAT YOUR UP TO WITH YOU SHENANIGANS DOING A LIVE STREAM OF PETSCOP!
Whoever came up with this is nothing short of brilliant.
Also, I love that you covered Petscop. This is exactly why I love your channel. Never would have known about it otherwise, and it's worth talking about.
I guess really it's never too late to discuss a topic of anything even Petscop
Dude your theories can be used as the plot for a Zero Escape game and I love it.
Who's here after the stream
Seeing the notes that are in annotations just makes me sad.
Will you review Corpse Party for Halloween ?
Oh my GAWD!!! I wasn't expecting this, but It's been so many weeks and months since I've seen a NEW review of Petscop. This is Amazing! :D
what could possibly go wrong?? this game too cute an-
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT...
September: *starts*
Nitrorad: "time to get fuckkin spooky"
