I remember playing this as a kid, the best damn time of my life.
Totally agreed! Although I'm not sure I actually finished the game as a kid...
This game definitely shaped my childhood. I must have played through at least 10 times in almost 20 years.
I played this game so fucking much as a kid and legit cried at the ending since the Tut never got his soul back and spent over 15 years waiting for a sequel. I really hope we do get one soon. I loved the fuck out of this game as a kid.
Me too dude I'm glad to see so much love for this game. I guess my parents found the game in a discount bin at a game store. Unfortunately it didn't sell to well when it came out but I'm glad to see how much of an impact it's left on other people.
This game is literally the definition of a hidden gem 💎. Agreed this game has so much complexity in a simplicit sense and should be given love and support. Definitely a fantastic "Zelda knockoff" or whatever I've heard about this incredible title 🤓 a sequel would make want to cry absolutely
Such a rarity to see Sphinx content-I'm glad others still treasure the game like me! It was my favourite as a child and I still hope for a sequel all these years later...
I wish they'd remastered it for consoles, too. Maybe some day. It looks great on PC and Switch.
Thanks for sharing~
I'm glad you enjoyed! It's great to find other people who love the game :) have you joined the Sphinx community discord?
My mom bought this game when I was around 8 years old, at first I find it boring, at 10 years old I forced myself to play it and I absolutely loved it. Now I’m 25 and I’m still waiting for a sequel, I really have high hopes for a sequel.
I'm glad you like the game! I'd love to see a sequel, but I think for that to happen we've got to come together as a community and show there is still plenty of interest in it.
This channel seems criminally underrated tbh. And bro really mentioned a water monster "kraken" for the game. thats what I'm talking about, more aquatic enemies would be sick af.
I played this as a kid and played it again on the switch. Loved it both playthroughs.
It's such a great game but very few people seem to have heard of it! I haven't played the switch version but I've only heard good things about it.
@@TheAbysmalKraken very good. Same exact thing as the ps2 version, but just enhanced and polished. Less glitches and bugs and smoother Frame rate and graphics. The old one didn't have many glitches and bugs to begin with tho. It definitely is one of my favorite games growing up and i really do hope they make another one someday.
I’d still be ecstatic if they follow the same blueprint of the first game
Likewise!
I just recently got the switch version of Sphinx and I'm kind of sad I never got to play it back in 2003.
As a new player, I honestly love the game as it. I don't find it too difficult with the save points or anything. It reminds me or earlier games like jak and daxter or ratchet and clank, its one of my fave games now.
I'm glad you're enjoying it! That's really good to hear :)
I think the game does need an update, though I do hope in a future sequel or remake they keep it all styalized and don't make it realistic.
I agree 100% with the save system issue, autosave sounds like a good idea, or a menu save option.
The difficulty setting sounds so amazing tbh, I would really love for the game to be harder.
Also yay my art and other random stuff xD but I agree, modding is a must. I absolutely love the modding side of our community.
A less linier story would be good, same with more added sidequest stories as well.
Personally I don't like the idea of full voice acting, if there is going to be voice acting i'd prefer a giberish language like simlish. Issue is that voice acting also requires multiple languages and you're kinda rolling the dice for good to bad voice actors. Like, I didn't like BOTW's voice acting, some of the voice actors were fine but a lot were stilted and just didn't fit the characters in my opinion.
I think proper upgrade systems would be a good idea to fix the issue of useless stuff. Also maybe custom outfits to slightly customise Sphinx too would be cool, something akin to BOTW's armour system would work wonderfly.
Better boss fights is a must, I didn't mind the geb queen battle to much but then again, i'm a veteran of the game so it's the one part of the game that still gives me some challenge. I think the spider pharaoh fight would be best to model future boss fights off of though, where there's way more action on your part. I think the worst fight for me in the game though is the Set battle, it's such a dissapointment.
The shadow mummy ability really should have more spotlight in a future sequel, I feel like it could be used in a lot of puzzle situations quite easily, allthough it is a little bit to close to the paper mummy ability tbf. I would like to see the return of a cut ability though which was the stone mummy. Not sure how it'd work but I feel like it'd be interesting for some puzzles, maybe it could be activated by having lava poured onto Tut which would encase him in stone? idk.
Keeping the music style is a must. The music in Sphinx is one of it's most powerful assets and I would really love to hear more like it.
The third mummy section does suck for hanging a lot... but the music is amazing there so it makes up for it xD lol.
Keeping that balance in the sequel is a must, same with bringing over the old characters too. I also think possibly adding a new character into the mix would be cool aswell, maybe they could have more of a focus on stealth and platforming.
A sky level would be amazing, actually there are quite a few area's in the concept art for the game i'd love to see in a possible future sequel, like an island made out of Sphinx's, and a floating upside down pyramid in the sky.
Water creatures is a must, I myself have designed quite a few fan monsters that are all water based.
I agree more usable monsters please.
Sphinx lion form, I want it please.
Open world is definatly a must, the game would do best if it's more open world.
I agree with more optional side quests.
Fighting gauntlets would be great, but also I think having a monster fighting ring aswell would be awesome to see, would give a use to capturing monsters.
I agree with most of these idea's and think they're pretty good.
I totally agree that a sequel should be kept stylised and not realistic, just depends how well it's done!
I also think custom outfits/armour would be cool but I wouldn't want too many that I'd spend ages thinking what would be best to equip.
Hadn't really thought about the Set fight but it should definitely have been either more difficult or more exciting as an ending.
Glad to hear we're on the same page about most of it! And thanks for such a detailed reply haha.
You can use state saves with an emulator. 1🤷♀️
Those are some great ideas.
0:12 This gives me an idea. Maybe we could have Spinx fight Gods & Monsters from other mythologies? The sequel could have a boss battle with Zeus or Loki.
I'd love a sequel but hell I'd love an Xbox or PS port of the remaster!
This game is very good and difficult too, it's available on Xbox Series X running at 4K 60fps, it's beautiful and impressive
i just found you! love all your sphinx content
Thanks so much, I'm really glad you're enjoying it!!
I think for voice acting Sphinx should be voiced by Elijah Wood/David Kaufman, Imhotep should be voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson/Fred Tatasciore, the rest is up to you. For different ways to damage the mummy, he could be squashed vertically as well as horizontally, cement could be used to turn the mummy into stone so he can be used as a statue (works best with puzzles that split into three mummies).
Nitro Rad thought a good idea would be to have Sphinx and the mummy play the game fully together rather than a chapter Sphinx and a chapter mummy. I thought the original game had weird pacing issues, the lead up to the first and second bosses were paced well, then the last two bosses the game seemed kind of rushed. I know bits of the game were left out but it seems like the game seemed incomplete.
The wings of ibis was the only worthwhile move that the mummy granted Sphinx as the others were near enough only useful for one point of the game. The hands of Amun was a waste as Sphinx could push statues off buttons yet he needed an unlockable ability to push platforms?
There are also mechanics in the game that are used in one area and never again such as the spitting monster, the lava shield, acid darts, ice darts, bouncing darts, eagle stone, etc...
The difficulty seems a bit out of place as I view Great Wall Entrance II and Uruk Canyon to be the hardest section of the entire game. Lost temple of Heliopolis and Great Wall entrance III, Uruk Islands were a lot easier to get through.
A few nitpicks, but the game is underrated nonetheless
I think any sort of voiced dialogue would ruin the feel of mystery to the game.
I agree this needs a sequel and overdue for one. The enemies get harder, some downright challenging. I gave up about halfway trying to beat a bunch of enemies but dying. It's compared to Zelda and prince of Persia etc. More people should try it. A sequel with open 🌎 world, some underwear scenes, sky realms, maybe jungles, riding horse or camel and paragliding as in Botw would be epic! Is there a petition for a sequel, part 2? I'm all in
Agreed, we'd all very much like to see a sequel like that! If you haven't tried the Shadow of Set mod yet I'd recommend giving it a go as it adds some of the content back to the game that was cut before it was released, including both underwater and jungle/swamp levels!
You like this game a lot, yeah? I just started playing it for the first time, I never had a computer before, or ever been present on the internet really. When I saw that we could host a channel on UA-cam, I went wild. Check out our work! You helped me with this game already, I owe you. We got your back, keep it up! 👊
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying your time on the Internet and have found these videos useful. And yes, I love this game! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I like the open world possibilities.
I imagine if the game had been made more recently it most likely would have been an open world game! It just had to stick to the technological restraints of its time.
Man this makes me feel old
Loved this when I was younger
I agree
I WANT THEM TO KEEP THE SONG ABYDOS 1 - FROM THE ORIGINAL
Will you download the second part of this game
They need to make a sequel to this game. It’s been too long 😢 such great memories
Well those are your opinions not everyone’s opinion you should mention that cuz if we ever get a sequel i don’t want this to be the only orientation for the game cuz there’s alot of stuff we want to keep like the linier story
Immortals Sphinx Rising ;)
Man I've wanted a sequel for almost 20 years now. I hate to say I don't think it will ever happen, but i am loosing hope.
I hope this game gets a sequel, but if it does please no voice acting. Part of what made this game so great is the mystery
The save points dont mater
What do you mean by that?
All I hear is you bitching about everything that made the game so great in the first place guy! Personally if they didn't have those saves where they were it wouldn't allow you to gain skill I have no problem with that game when it comes down to the boss fighting or just getting past the first area of the desert and the game made you go through all that cuz it's telling a story but as you seen you could stop and do what you wanted but yes they need more side quest and options and the skills of the mummy should be used in the next game as best they can but other than that I would enjoy if they didn't add voices unless it's like a cutscene but either way I want to see a new game and finish this already and it's like no one can do a thing about it or won't!
