When i got this game 10 years ago on christmas i thought it was lame at first then it was amazing once i started playing and looked on the back cover lol.
I have so much nostalgia for this game, I started playing when I was like 6 and Jesus Christ it was hard,that’s probably where I get my love for dark souls
@@cleveram226 I'm the exact same! Been trying to remember what this game was called and had to type fantasy game where you start on a beach and go into a cave to find it 😆 I've actually spent years trying to figure this out! The game was hard I got pretty far in first few levels but would get lost and the creatures gave me intense anxiety as a child
HOLY SHIT HE'S PLAYING IT This was my very first Fromsoft game I played back in the day on PS2. It's not great, but the music is FANTASTIC. The theme when you arrive at the village is incredible.
Weird Gothic meets Dark cloud vibes from this one. Great music. It's crazy how far games have come in 19 years. There are times where I have a hard time discerning reality from fiction these days.
Personally I didn't like this as much as KF4. That game was a masterpiece in my mind. KF4 was one of those games where you replay every year. Oh... I haven't played it in six months... I wanna play it again!
I'm just glad they fixed the control scheme for this game. Back on the Ps2 if you happened to have a third party controller, the game would refuse to let you use the analog sticks, making you use a secondary control scheme that sucks.
I think this might be my first time realizing that i owned a fromsoft game when i was a kid,and this was the first one ive had,but i never played,but i did however try it and it was amazing
I've been searching for this game for so many years now! I played only a little bit a long time ago and the only thing I remember was the epic soundtrack. Never even knew it was a FromSoft game!
Yes! I've wanted you to play this game since I started watching your streams like 6 years ago or something. It's such a Hidden Gem I really hope you enjoy playing it.
1:33:35 That's basically Guts vs Mozgus when Mozgus transforms into his Apostle form. I also think that Fromsoft got inspiration for Manus from this guy (Manus doesn't have wings but he has those growths from his head that look like wings and of course he's has those ink-like dark textures because of the abyss).
Came here after watching Dark Cloud and your chat is telling you to try Dark Cloud lol. got there 2 years later. Hooked on this game once you started combining rings.
The visuals of the game and the monster design with the unsettling music I think was scary for most of us as kids 😆 I couldn't work up the courage to keep going 😀
My sister and I were just talking about our childhood and we brought this game up. I loved this game and she would watch me play it. I had no idea it was a Fromsoft game though, back then I didn't care about game developers (I was in like elementary school)
I remember playing a cracked version of this on my cousin’s chipped PS2. I quickly became frustrated with the melee combat in first person and so swapped it out for Jak and Daxter at the first opportunity I got.
Guy goes to island. That's definitely a sort of spiritual successor to King's Field. This has a great soundtrack. The first one when you get in the cave reminds me of Symphony of the Night.
Very much enjoyed, proper Nostalgia trip. Played this when I was 12, my first non Final Fantasy RPG. Loved the ring crafting system, first time I'd really seen much like it before, with so much freedom. It's been years now, so hardly spoilers...but gems are split into attack/defence types (water earth and light are defensive/ Fire, wind and dark are attack). Gems put on right determine if the ring is attack based or defence based. Gems on the left is the type aka fire wind earth water light dark. Attribute rings are created much more randomly, and you can make the same ring a multitude of different ways. Also going for rings of all gems one type can make some very powerful ones (especially if they are attack gems i.e fire wind dark). Lol also, much as I wish it were different, don't waste too much time looking for hidden secrets...there are legitimately only a few worth your time, and they aren't that hidden (aka the bonus dungeon at the start you almost walked into... forgot it is locked until after you beat the end boss, otherwise that would have been a "lesson learned" lol 😆. The best you'll find is additional magic rings, which although useful towards the start, once your about half way through they start becoming pretty meaningless, unless your a completionist looking to get every ring...and even then there are later mobs which you can farm them from. Don't forget this was a PS2 release game from 2000...bonus content wasn't even much of a thing back then lol Also...you can wake that dragon up...you just need a higher level spell with more range...and it goes ballistic and kills you unless you run out of thr area lol 😜
So glad I found this! I had this game as a kid but something was wrong with my disk so I never got past a couple hours of gameplay before it would crash. Can’t wait to see what I never got to.
9:23 and 9:26 okay those sounds are definitely the sounds that the Snake Men from Dark Souls 1 make when they hiss at you (also when they do that crazy jump attack). Fromsoft re-using content since day 1, lol.
What are the odds that this video was posted on the superbowl and I am for the first time watching it ON The superbowl two years later by pure luck. 🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely love this game and the music in it.
2:41:44 Powerful undead mage after a dragon? Basically a Dragon Priest from Skyrim (of course I know this came out way before Skyrim but I couldn't help but mention that). Edit: They're more like Liches from Oblivion (because iirc they can't be damaged by normal weapons). Liches were op in Oblivion though because even with a weapon that could damage them (silver weapons, daedric weapons, or enchanted weapons) they were tanky and pretty resistant to most kinds of magic.
Oh, man. I absolutely love this game and the Kings Field games, but I know I'm relatively alone because critics panned this game. Super happy to see someone like Lobos playing it! Also BRING KINGS FIELD TO PS4 SONY YOU COWARDS.
From the compatibility list on the PS4 dev wiki it looks like King's Field IV at least doesn't work properly with Sony's PS2 emulator so it wouldn't be as easy as just uploading it to the PSN store.
it's not in the ps store! i was getting so excited for a second. they almost never release ps2 classics there. i'm guessing it's only in the US and not EU.
I love how an "American accent" is just *whatever* to foriegn developers. If you've never heard the voice acting from Gothic 1, you're lucky... but check it out anyways. Hicks, New Yorkers, Mid Westerners, all from the same town lol
Kings field then shadow tower and then this as far as I know. But I like this way more than shadow tower so we can always pretend this was before it anyways 🤣
Is the camera movement mapped to the right analog stick in this PS4 version? The camera on the triggers is the only thing keeping me from playing these old Fromsoft games.
Literally the reason I dislike this game to this day. I only had a bunch of hand-me-down third party controllers after my stepsister ruined the one the Ps2 came with, and it didn't let you use the control scheme with camera movement on the analog stick with a third party controller.
@@TotallyCluelessGamer As Jerry Batsford said, the PS4 version let's you use analog camera control, and it works very well. I also went ahead and created a custom button mapping in the accessibility options of my PS4 so that weapon and spell attacks are mapped to L1 and R1 instead of Triangle and Square, so you can move the camera as you attack. Very enjoyable experience after those changes. The only issue I have now is dealing with the nausea from the FOV.
i remember owning this game, playing it then quitting where you beat the first enemy, as a 7yo they scared me XD now i re-own this game and waiting to play it when i set up an old CRT
Does anyone know any games like this but that are newer? Like where you have such leveling strats, item stats and so forth. Besides Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, Witcher or Dragons Dogma that is.
The sound the green monsters make when they jump back is the same sound the green monsters in dodongos cavern in acarina of time zelda make when they fight you.
This game looks awesome! Sadly if i was introduced to this when it came out i would have hated it. I disliked morrowind until I had a sit down and played it for a few hrs. blew my fkn mind.
Speaking of an obscure From RPG has anyone here played or heard of a game called Evergrace? It was one of my first PS2 games and I absolutely hate it lol. I was astounded when a few years ago I realised it was made by From.
Yes, I've heard of it. I considered picking it up back in the days when PS2 was current gen tech. I never was convinced to get it in the end. Hell, I only just picked up Eternal Ring after dismissing it for years as some outdated PS2 launch title. I've played a little bit and it's not bad so far.

Damn these fromsoft trolls
Not sure if that's better or worse then Dark Souls Remastered's back cover declaring it "The origins of a legendary gaming reference".
@@theblah12 they released physical mediums of it? Oh wait, switch cards, nvm

Wow it really said that?
That sucks
who wants eternal ring remastered version
this game was the shit one of my favorite ps2 platform games.
It's made by the same people who made Dark Souls and I had it too on the PS2 as a kid and never knew. I still have it.
I'd say it's the shit but not shit
I have so much nostalgia for this game, I started playing when I was like 6 and Jesus Christ it was hard,that’s probably where I get my love for dark souls
dude holy shit, i have always remembered this game in my head from when i was a kid not being able to get past the cave but could never find it.
@@cleveram226 same here! my brother had his game when i was little and i would always try to play it but failed lol

I remember buying this game when I was a kid best 3 dollars spent lol
I love how you show up to the town, they take the sword you came with and give you something that barely qualifies as a weapon.
Went and bought it on the PS4 store only 30 mins or so in and I'm loving it thanks for introducing me to this man i love your content
HOLY SHIT HE'S PLAYING IT
This was my very first Fromsoft game I played back in the day on PS2. It's not great, but the music is FANTASTIC. The theme when you arrive at the village is incredible.

Since this was one of my favorite games as a kid, I’m very happy that’s it’s getting some attention. Such an underrated gem on the ps2 in my opinion.

Cory what’s KF4, you got me curious now
@@hitmanTilliMDeaD I believe he's referring to Kings Field 4.
3d models and water? Yep, Dark Souls!
I'm starting to realize that other than armored core, FSs entire history seems to be about remake kings field over and over again.
They really do like their mechas and dark fantasy over at FS
I'd like they to go back to the style of Otogi, those games were lit.
Finally, its out!
I'm just glad they fixed the control scheme for this game. Back on the Ps2 if you happened to have a third party controller, the game would refuse to let you use the analog sticks, making you use a secondary control scheme that sucks.

Makes me want to play kings field ancient city ❤ I do love eternal ring too though
Ok these dark soul mods are getting out of hand..
This game came wayyyy before any of that lol
That's a real game
I was just looking the King Field's runs last few days ! I guess i m right in the mood to see what this game is all about ! Looks interresting !
I've been searching for this game for so many years now! I played only a little bit a long time ago and the only thing I remember was the epic soundtrack. Never even knew it was a FromSoft game!
I never thought he'd actually play it, what a madman. Very excited for this!
Yes! I've wanted you to play this game since I started watching your streams like 6 years ago or something. It's such a Hidden Gem I really hope you enjoy playing it.
Same here man
Sees playthru, decides to check amazon for pricing and purchase
..."purchased on April 26, 2015"
I did? Where is it? Who took and why? What is 2015!?
THEN WHO WAS PHONE???
also what did it mean, that someone else bought that one in 2015?
Been so excited for you to play this ever since the King's Field series!
1:33:35 That's basically Guts vs Mozgus when Mozgus transforms into his Apostle form.
I also think that Fromsoft got inspiration for Manus from this guy (Manus doesn't have wings but he has those growths from his head that look like wings and of course he's has those ink-like dark textures because of the abyss).
Came here after watching Dark Cloud and your chat is telling you to try Dark Cloud lol. got there 2 years later. Hooked on this game once you started combining rings.
I was so scared to play this game back then, first-person dungeon crawler was new to me.
The visuals of the game and the monster design with the unsettling music I think was scary for most of us as kids 😆 I couldn't work up the courage to keep going 😀
yea some monsters scared this game for me
I don't understand why critics slammed this game, it looks great and is a lot of fun to watch!
@Eren Jaegar It wasn't as bad as it is now but, you're 100% correct.
@@nicedreams7192 idk it was pretty rough even for the time.

Came here after E3 2019 leak.
Wait what!?

I remember playing a cracked version of this on my cousin’s chipped PS2. I quickly became frustrated with the melee combat in first person and so swapped it out for Jak and Daxter at the first opportunity I got.
Wait this was a Fromsoft Game. Lol didnt even know played this sooooo long ago. Nice memories
Crazy how far gaming has come since these days

Im glad fromsoft stopped giving direct story. It was a good change.
Makes you appreciate the silence between bosses in Dark Souls even more after you've listened to this game's music for a minute.
What are you talking about lmao the music here and in King's Field are Iconic.
Is there a blue moon greatsword in this game?
It seems the Eternal Ring got Elden as time went on.
I think that weird bull thing was a catoblepas.
