We couldn't afford a PC when I was a kid, so all of these lovely remasters coming around nowadays is awesome. And tbh I have this channel to thank for turning ne on to them.
There's something so charming about these old games that leave a lot to the imagination. The photo realism in modern games is nice, but the allure of this older stuff is so obvious to the discerning gamer, they really bring back that childlike wonder and let your imagination run wild imo.
I wholeheartedly agree . Modern cutting-edge graphics doesnt equal personality for a game . I rather have simplistic graphics with very creative architecture and original enemies that have significance while looking very threadning instead shiny modern graphics with flat designs and enemies that are almost copy-paste material . I mean i give an example from this video which always impressed me as something awesome and Badass in Exhumed/Powerslave with its personality because its a timeless moment: Its was the clip where you see that the protagonist turned into a mummy but when he killed some enemies with his staff , you see he turns normal again and gives that arrogant but triumphantly laugh like a chad . THAT is the aspect i miss in games way too much. Not just only the one-liners but personality in the characters in their small details . No exposition dumps , no time-wasting cutscenes , no unfunny banter like nathan drake but just One-liners and the details that fills the character out . Who needs a origin story or huge introduction to the character when the protagonists personality is enough and you experience the adventure as him? I say nobody . Its like with Duke nukem . The personality is enough , the story pretty simple which underlines the level-design and gameplay and alot of moments that are badass , suspenseful and sometimes even comedic . Thats why retro games are still fun to play. Even with its merits . Because Personality always stays while trends fade away .
This is my exact sentiment for older games, I have fun with newer games but as the old saying goes; they don't make them like they used to. Plus it definitely helps if you grew up playing these kind of games!
@@Snyperwolf91 This depends on the genre of a game. With shooters such thing as background of the protagonist can be overlooked without harm for the game. But if we speak about some old-school plot-driven RPG with a lot of world-building, for instance, that is entirely different matter.
Exhumed/Powerslave had the coolest game depiction of an M60 in history :D . Hope the PC version gets a remake as well, but loving that they remade this at all - definitely gonna give this a try! Thanks for the review :) .
@@MasterSoto BuildGDX is very good as well. Its widescreen support is probably a bit better than PCExhumed, and it has quicksaves too. I wouldn't savescum though as it makes the game too easy.
They are awesome, given so many options for your preferred experience and they have the games for all systems , not just PC . Source ports are cool and all and they can have certain advantages but the official remasters from them , are the best way over all imo . They really breath new life into those games and modernize them appropriately where it matters . I wonder are they the only ones how remaster all of those PC centric classics ?
@@expendableround6186 no doubt they would have, but I almost prefer that they focus on dormant franchises. I grew up on N64 and was beyond thrilled to see what a great job they did with the Turok games and Shadow Man.
I picked it up as soon as playstation notified me it was on the store. It absolutely beat me up and spit me out for the first hour. But it's very fun when you get the hang of everything. Absolutely love it so far.
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies All around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a Slave to the Power of Death
Dude, listen. I've had to rewatch a couple dozen awesome 90's action movies in the last few weeks because of your videos and it's cutting into my sleep time. I'm now an old, tired and cranky man because of it.

Not to mention that it proved that the Saturn CAN do good 3D, complete with colored light sourcing. It's even more amazing when you consider that Lobotomy went to make a good Duke Nukem 3D port and then the "impossible" port of Quake!
Just finished the Saturn version a couple weeks ago. Amazing surprise tbh. It's a pretty good mix between an FPS and a metroidvania. Setting and ambiance are spot on. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Jumps are a bit unfair at times, but generally quite playable even today for a Saturn 3D game.
These kind of videos are exactly why you are My G!!! Love that you still make time for Retro Style/Actual Retro Games & give just as much time & effort into them! Def is appreciated! Keep it up! Been with you for yrs now & only continue to love it more!
I had this on PC years ago (exhumed here in Europe) and found it to be one of the better but sadly forgotten boomer shooters. Glad to see it back and who knows, maybe we will see more in this franchise in the future.
They remastered ShadowMan? AWESOME! that game is like tomb raider meets Zelda meets a total nightmare. i had it for dreamcast and it was amazing at the time. Scared the crap out of little kid me. great music too.
Thank you so much for doing a video on this overlooked game. I had it on my PS1 and was so impressed with the graphics. Such a great game I played to pieces.
I played and beat Powerslave EX multiple times because of you. I am overjoyed to see this has come out, and that it's as good as it is too. Today is a good day.
I started it the other night and love it so far. Only thing I was wondering is I get the backtracking with new abilities to open more levels, but is there an end goal for each level also?
It's almost surreal to see someone reviewing game from my childhood. It's just nobody knew about this game and that I even got to play it is some kind of magic by itself
Yes it is. Exhumed was my first fp shooter i´ve owned back in the days and i could only play it when my mum was not at home so i could use her PC i miss these days 🙄
Exhumed on Saturn was one of my all time favourites. I completed it, got all the developer dolls etc. And have often wished I still had a Saturn and a copy of the game to play. Only realised a couple of days ago that this had been made.. Can't wait to enjoy it again...
Just beat this today and my god, what an incredible game it is. Outstanding level design and platforming that not only just works, but is actually enjoyable in first person. Loved it.
OMIGOD! I was absolutely obsessed with the PSX version of this game! It's one of the few games I've actually 100%ed, finding everything and getting all the stuff! I'll be getting this on the PS4 for sure!
Well this just made my day! This is how I can show the newer generation what oldschool FPS was really about, without having to wade through all the pixels and long restarts that I naturally accepted as a kid but wouldn't force someone through now. This was some grade-A jank and I will never, ever forget it.
Never thought Id see a remaster of this. Also, can we talk about how awesome Lobotomy Software was, and how amazing the Saturn version was? Despite the fact the console was to develop for, the game was amazing, because they put forth the effort.
This is one of the games that I had on one of my first gaming PCs as a kid. So many good memories with it. I remember being blown away with how varied the weapons were.
I love both the console and the Build versions. True classics and woefully underrated, standing shoulder to shoulder with the best of the era (Quake and the Build trio), definitely not just another Doom clone.
This game was mindblowing because it had very high resolution textures for its time. "I barely can see the pixels on the wall!" we used to say looking at our 320x200 monitors. That made us dream about a future in where games could have textures with higher res than our monitors, which is normal today. This was a step onto the future.
Just played through this for the first time. I really enjoyed my time with it, and that’s in 2024. If I had played this at launch I probably would have been singing its praises for years
Wow, I can't believe that I've never heard of this game before and it's everything that I love. I would have loved to play this game as a kid! The aesthetics of this game and seeing the dev team photo really brings back a lot of memories and nostalgia of the era of when these games we're first released and I love it! Buying this right now, thanks so much for the exposure Gman, keep up the great work!
I literally woke up this morning, like any other day, and then I find out PowerSlave is back. Not only this, but I can download it right now. This is truly the best of days. What will Nightdive give me next?
This brings back memories, played Exhumed back on the PS1, loved it, to me it was as much fun as the amazing Doom PS1 port. So please its back, will be getting for sure.
Played a demo for Saturn in 1997, bought it when I could, sold it, bought the PS1 version, re-bought the Saturn version again, still have them both in my collection to this day, now, I'm definitely getting the Remaster! This game is dear to my heart.
@@metalmugen I think back then the management weren't as much of a bunch of c*nts compared to the present. It's not the band that's suing, it's the management. Rammstein had the same with their management and decided to drop them because they were too aggressive with that type of crap
I really respect Night Dive studios for remastering these old games soo modern audience's can appreciate them, I remember faintly playing an Egyptian themed FPS on the Saturn round my old mates house a few times, but never really owned the game myself, I didn't even know the name of it until recently.
Tbf you can get the PC version pretty easily on GOG, they maybe figured why the effort. Would still be awesome to have though, a truly definitive collection of Exhumed.
You should check out a game called hellslave. It’s a fps being developed on the Saturn here in 2022 and it’s a technical marvel on what the Saturns capabilities are. Shares a lot of similar styles to that of powerslave. Has Saturn mouse support too, be interesting to check out
Just picked this up on Steam earlier as well. Always a game I wanted to play through but haven't had the opportunity to, and this promises to be the best version of it, couldn't pass it up.
I played this as a kid! Somehow completely forgot about it but as soon as I saw the game, I knew it. Gonna have to grab this and replay some childhood nostalgia.
I agree. NDS need to give Alien Trilogy the same treatment. I mean heck, Throwback Entertainment is suppose to be "Home of Acclaim classics". I mean wasn't Alien Trilogy published by Acclaim.
I'm all for having those various video quality filters. Sometimes having an "ugly" or "oldschool" look is fitting. Also, that image of the dev team on the left at 19:28 looks like a photo shoot of a grunge band haha.
I bought this game for my saturn based on the cover art alone back in 96, but was completely blown away by the game- there was nothing else like it at the time. Also, the music rocked hard. I will point out that the reason the level design appears different to the reviewer is because remake is based off the saturn version, which has more open levels with better geometry. It's pretty clear his console experience is based solely on the playstation version, which aside from having an uncapped frame rate, is considered inferior to the saturn version. DF Retro looked at the differences years ago and is worth checking out.
That horrifying mummification endscreen... has haunted my nights as well when I was a kid. But I never quite knew where it came from, so thanks for clarifying that!
The Egyptian theme of the game gave me the mummy movie vibes in a way and that's what I like about the game, hopefully we get an Egyptian themed horror game in the future with some mummies and monsters that look like they were made by Clive barker himself cause that would fun and ptsd inducing, but mostly fun 😊👍
Do you ever have those moments where your heart sinks thinking that you had drunkenly advised someone to work on a remake you've never head of, but then the remake makes it to market, and you're happy to spend 17.99 because, somehow the sonovabich somehow did it? well, I'm happy because the sonovabich did it, and now I get to party like its some sort of time before today, even though it is in fact, today, at least as far as I am being told. Full-Power POWERSLAVE
I think I remember playing this way back when (PC). I remember liking how they'd given Iron Maiden a nod with the title and the Egyptian theme. (For anyone not familiar with Iron Maiden, their 5th studio album "Powerslave" has a strong Egyptian motif in the album artwork, which is also reflected in the album's title track)
Actually remember playing the game , bought it as kind of a accident as I thought it a sequel to "Heretic" back then , was pretty awesome and unique for the time
Thanks uncle G for puting this gem out there, another awesome title I totally overlooked at the moment and just forgot, definetly have to take a look at it after this awesome video, retro pixel art fps have a special place in my heart. By the way the fart sound always get me out guard, please never change. Much love.

The sound of that M60 still gives me a rock on.
I still can't help feeling they named it Powerslave after the Iron Maiden album because they both have an ancient Egyptian theme.
I'm surprised they didn't send the lawyers in, especially after the whole Ion Maiden thing.
Powerslave is one of my favorite albums. Up The Irons!

I really respect Night Dive studios for remastering these old games soo modern audience's can appreciate them, I remember faintly playing an Egyptian themed FPS on the Saturn round my old mates house a few times, but never really owned the game myself, I didn't even know the name of it until recently.
simply for preservation sake, i'd prefer if they also included the original PC campaign in here too
Tbf you can get the PC version pretty easily on GOG, they maybe figured why the effort. Would still be awesome to have though, a truly definitive collection of Exhumed.
Thank you i used to play the Psx version with my dad was a cool game great memories, already visiting GOG
I had this! I had one more secret to unlock, that let's you fly around, right before I stopped playing games.
I take it you came back to gaming?
Now I have some Maiden playing in my head
Sneaky little bastard snuck in that "I Will Survive" reference. ^^
Nightdive Studios really does need to bring us an updated copy of the Alien Trilogy. :D
The Saturn version is expansive because of Death Tank Zwei.

How have I never heard of this game ? Definitely going on the wishlist.
Mint! I didn't know they had ported this. Purchased!
This will be the next retro FPS I buy. It's decided.
When I was 12 I played a demo of Exhumed and then got the full game for my birthday. In 1997.
Looks pretty dope, might pick it up

I bought this game for my saturn based on the cover art alone back in 96, but was completely blown away by the game- there was nothing else like it at the time. Also, the music rocked hard.
I will point out that the reason the level design appears different to the reviewer is because remake is based off the saturn version, which has more open levels with better geometry.
It's pretty clear his console experience is based solely on the playstation version, which aside from having an uncapped frame rate, is considered inferior to the saturn version.
DF Retro looked at the differences years ago and is worth checking out.
What's fun too is that the game is now mod supported.
8:47 Best music in the whole game starts right here, folks!
That horrifying mummification endscreen... has haunted my nights as well when I was a kid. But I never quite knew where it came from, so thanks for clarifying that!
The Egyptian theme of the game gave me the mummy movie vibes in a way and that's what I like about the game, hopefully we get an Egyptian themed horror game in the future with some mummies and monsters that look like they were made by Clive barker himself cause that would fun and ptsd inducing, but mostly fun 😊👍
You have no idea how long I waited for this to be re-released.
''What is going on with my voice?,, Clears throat and makes an early 2000 game enemy death sound effect. Nice.
Holy fuck that game over screen is fucking terrifying. Dear lord.
Do you ever have those moments where your heart sinks thinking that you had drunkenly advised someone to work on a remake you've never head of, but then the remake makes it to market, and you're happy to spend 17.99 because, somehow the sonovabich somehow did it? well, I'm happy because the sonovabich did it, and now I get to party like its some sort of time before today, even though it is in fact, today, at least as far as I am being told. Full-Power POWERSLAVE
I think I remember playing this way back when (PC). I remember liking how they'd given Iron Maiden a nod with the title and the Egyptian theme.
(For anyone not familiar with Iron Maiden, their 5th studio album "Powerslave" has a strong Egyptian motif in the album artwork, which is also reflected in the album's title track)
Hell yeah!!! Been waiting for this one! Grabbing it on PC and switch right now🔥
You can feel the original games director staring at the Iron Maiden album cover and exploring the pyramid in his head as he made the game
what stands out to me in the build engine games is how vivid they are. the colors are popping and the brightness is top notch.
Actually remember playing the game , bought it as kind of a accident as I thought it a sequel to "Heretic" back then , was pretty awesome and unique for the time
Just discovered Gman a few days ago due to my revived interest in Metal Gear. This guys humor is hilarious. Love it.
Nightdive made this? I'll buy anything they make sight unseen, watching the video though... the game looks badass.

Thanks uncle G
for puting this gem out there, another awesome title I totally overlooked at the moment and just forgot, definetly have to take a look at it after this awesome video, retro pixel art fps have a special place in my heart. By the way the fart sound always get me out guard, please never change. Much love.
Nightdive has a habit of taking old games and keeping them as true to the original as possible. God speed to those crazy diamonds.
