did you do an ad spot for Subaru on Spotify? cuz the dad in the ad sounds exactly like you
It's good to see non-F2P games doing more sponsorships. The first Forgive Me Father was great!
"I could do a whole sub-series on cancelled game movies"
Ok. Do it. Coward. 😊
The true hero of the Nightmare Creatures story is the genius who made the boss music available as mp3s on the game's website long before the advent of UA-cam or KHInsider.
Chad behavior
You could also just put the ps1 game disc into a CD player, and there were 4 metal tracks from the game to listen to
@@dangerousdays2052 And also hellish sounds if you played the wrong tracks.
Gabaldia Hotel was a great place for OSTs
Man, that original idea for NC3 sounds really cool, especially for 2001. But maybe that would have actually been a bit too ambitious for the time.
I guess that sounds fair. I think Nightmare Creatures 3 and remakes of the first two games would be more viable today when developed for current-gen consoles like PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Imagine a new Assassin’s Creed-type game that doubled down on the gothic horror being released today.
That was I talking about ideas!
I had the first one on PlayStation 1 you kids these days will never know the fun of this classic masterpiece
@@calvincooper9154I still listen to the ost actually 😂
@calvincooper9154 Suuuuper easy to emulate. They can definitely play it, but masterpiece is a pretty big stretch. Very cool, much better than 2, but definitely more cult classic firmly in B tier due to lots of clunk.
So cool that you were able to get in contact with Pascal himself.
The first game’s soundtrack was very ambient and genuinely creepy. Combined with nasty creatures coming out of the darkness to attack you made for a chilling experience.
The one in a trench coat that looked like the teacher from Real Monsters..
nightmare creatures and castlevania 64 made me appreciate moody silence in videogames
It always kinda surprised me that this game never got ported to the Nintendo DS. Would have been a perfect fit, with how the levels already force you to be quick.
Wow I'm pleasantly surprised that the original game's developers were inspired by a Tim Powers book. The first Monkey Island game was also inspired by one of his books, On Stranger Tides. Seems like a lot of game devs were reading his stuff back then, and if you're reading this comment, so should you! He's an underrated author these days.
Agreed! Happy to find Tim Powers fans in the wild! Anubis Gates is damn good fun! Give "Earthquake Weather" a shot if you can too!
This game literally got me into Metal when I was a kid, and I can Proudly say this game continues to inspire me.
This game was one of my faves as a kid. It was so good. I loved using cheats to get the battle potion that made monsters fight each other.
In the N64 version, I think, there's a cheat that lets you play as the monsters
Fun Fact: Kalisto USA Became Big Sky Interactive Who Worked A Spongebob Game And A Jimmy Neutron Game
Maybe You Can Do A What Happened Episode On Them
The original Nightmare Creatures was one of those early-ish PS1 games that was very stylish, very fun to play, and damn hard to master.
9:18 “What I am doing with MEIN LEBEN?!” accurately sums up the frustration with the game.
I remember when my older brother brought this home one day and said it was so much better than that "slow moving" Resident Evil 2 game I liked so much. Not gonna lie, it was fun but also hard as hell!
Lol fumble
Man, I hope Nightmare Creatures gets remade for the modern era. Game like this was so unique.
Agreed. Bloodborne feels the closest.
@taked0wn127 Yeah, there's no point if bloodborne exists
@@thegamingprozone1941 Overated trash
Guys, go check out the Bloodborne DEmake in the Nightmare Creatures engine.
@@thegamingprozone1941 Yes there is because Nightmare Creatures and Bloodborne aren't 1:1 comparisons
Having Prague as a setting in an early 2000's game sounds really ambitious and if done right, it really could've been a great game from the sounds of it.
Anything would be good if done right
@@Peepshow789 No doubt about it, but we all know that reality is much harsher than that.
I mean, there already was Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption.
@@elbilos1 Was there? I'll have to check it out then, thanks.
@@elbilos1 1st thing that came to mind when I read "Prague..."
Ended up getting that game instead of Deus Ex, my PC could barely run it, and it took me an eternity, like weeks, (actually i think after i upgraded or got a new PC) to get passed the underground section in the beginning lol.. then i think i got stuck again, immediately after, on a part where you fight 3 vampires or something. I never finished it.
Bloodlines was my fav, though.
Love the use of the Deadly Premonition music.
Man I’d love a remake of Nightmare Creatures. One of the first games I ever played that gave me chills and made me apprehensive of what was coming next.
I'd recommend looking into the PSX Bloodborne project.
It's rebuilding Bloodborne on the PS1, with a couple mechanical through lines with Nightmare Creatures.
Also, of course, Bloodborne Kart
"I could make a whole subseries about the video game movies never made" -Matt McMuscles
I'd watch that.
Man, it's the best time for this series to make a come back. If the kept the aesthetic, continued the story, and took the right elements that From Soft refined, it'd be a masterpiece.
Underrated gem, very ambitious, and looked great for its time
The first game was a huge success... how is that an "underrated gem"? Wtf are you, an AI?
Plus that monster used “and” after an apostrophe!
The robopocalypse is upon us, its just me and you now man!
Forgive me Father 2 actually had a pretty decent demo I tried recently, I think its worth a look for people who like that retro shooter type of thing.
You're blowing my mind right now with the news that the Fury of the Furries / Pac-In-Time developer didn't just vanish, like I thought they did, but went on to become Kalisto Entertainment. I had no idea that happened until I watched this video.
I hope Evil Within gets a what happened.
I remember playing both games... I liked the second one better, just from how the game felt. Of course, I was also a bit of a Rob Zombie fan, so including some tracks from Hellbilly Deluxe in the game may have helped my enjoyment a bit :P
I remember playing a demo of the first game on the ps1 when I was a kid and even as a kid the controls felt kinda awkward but I thought the game as a whole looked cool
Damn I couldn’t remember what this game was called to save my life. I remember it being on a PS1 demo disk. My sister was grossed out when a character cut an enemy in half lol.
I remember playing it back in the day on the ps1 demo disk good times.
I spent countless hours playing this with my brother growing up. A lot of positive memories attached to this game.
When NC was originally released, 3D gaming was still in its infancy and the game felt so next level. The combo based combat system. The large, intricately designed levels. The disturbingly well designed creatures. But, the sequel totally dropped the ball. In all the ways the OG game pulled ahead, the follow up fell behind. Wondered what that steep drop in quality was all about. Now I know. Cool. Still want my $42 back.
The movement and speed on NC1 were terrific for the time. Few games could match it. Truly a gem. NC2 on the other hand, had an interesting concept, but dropped the ball on everything else
Enjoyed Nightmare Creatures as a kid. The spooky vibe was dope
I never got that far in this game as I played it as a kid and it was hard af but man the game nailed the atmosphere so well. I still remember the sound of chopping those zombies in half and the werewolves too
Nightmare Creatures was like one of the first games to use animation based attacks which souls games later popularized
What's the difference between animation based attacks and... whatever the other kind is?
@@ALEXAN2507 i've never liked that term. 'commitment based attack' works way better, imho. tho for whatever reason, 'animation based attacks' is what the soulsbourne community settled on. lol
@@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch I'm still a little unsure what the term means or what it's being contrasted to
@@ALEXAN2507 according to souls community, in many games an input can be cancelled midway by another input. eg spiderman, you can dodge anytime so there's less commitment executing attacks. whereas in souls games, at least those by fromsoft, the player's locked out of other inputs until the current input has reach its terminal stage, eg swinging a claymore. these are just broad generalities tho.
@@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch ahhhh gotcha
My brother was a huge fan of horror games back when we received the PS1, Resident Evil trilogy, Silent Hill, Nightmare Creatures 1 and 2, Alone in the Dark, Dino Crisis 1 and 2, just to name a few, but I was like 6yo, these kind of games scared the living hell out of me but I would still watch him play, I just couldn't do it for myself.
Nowadays (I'm 29 and he's 33) Survival Horror is my fav genre next to RPGs. Nightmare Creatures 2 however, has a special place in my heart because it was the very first horror game I dared to play on my own after watching my brother complete the game a couple of times, I already knew what to do and that gave me a sense of safety.
I remember playing the demo for this a lot.
THAT'S it! The demo disc! I couldn't remember how I played this game soooo much, or why I couldn't remember any of the footage outside of the first level 😂.
Nightmare Creatures was one of the best action horror games on the N64 I still rock out to the boss themes to this day. With the success of Bloodborne and recently Lies of P they could definitely bring Nightmare Creatures back.
nightmare creatures 3 sounds like the prefect game for kickstarter, I would buy it. Especially with the popularity of bloodborn at the moment.
This is one I've been amazed never got remastered. Spent many hours as a kid slaying these demons.
Vampyr felt like an unintentional spiritual successor to this franchise at times.
I have fond memories of NC; beating it with Nadia, beating every subsequent playthrough with codes that let you play as the monsters, then ejecting the CD and listening to the songs on my discman.
Had my favorite memory card animations.
Fun fact: Bloodborne is the spiritual successor to Nightmare Creatures, Nightmare Creatures 2 and the unfinished unreleased Nightmare Creatures 3 Angel of Darkness.
Nightmate Creatures 2 and Dino Crisis 2 used to scare the hell out of me as a kid, good times
NC was the game I remember looking really cool but the demo ran at about 10fps on my parents PC... years later I put in the demo of NC2 on my ps1 and remember the "wtf is this awesome Rob Zombie playing, Marilyn Manson looking ultra dark and violent game doing on the nightmare creatures demo?"
You gotta admit that NC1 had an absolute banger of an OST.
How pathetic is it that this game ost is better than the dull modern games ost 😂
@@thegamingprozone1941- Oh, god is it that bad??? I haven't really messed with NC2, so I have no frame of reference, lol
5:23 I can't get over how good this game looks so good on emulation
8:23 “everything that we think went wrgon” went wrong 😂 if it’s not a simple typo I really like the double layer effect there
My memories with Nightmare Creatures is very hazy at best, but I can at least see the potential the series had, and, in a way, molded the gaming industry to what it is now. I have no idea when (or if) I'll ever try the games out for myself, but one thing's for certain, it's of of them certified PS1 classics.
I used to rent this game so much as kid and despite it scaring the hell outta me I LOVED IT
me and my brother played this game when it came out and we loved it, wish it could get a Nightdive treatment, but since it´s and activision IP, guess that would never happen
I gotta say, I would love to see something on the numerous video game based movies that never ended up seeing the light of day. I remember being stoked every time Clock Tower's movie discussion would creep up lol.
This was literally my favorite Nintendo 64 game. I absolutely loved it.
I remember when I had this for N64 when I was a young punk back in ‘98. Totally loved the atmosphere and the gritty feel that seemed damn near tangibly palpable- in all honesty despite being one of my favorite games in my 64 library, I somehow managed to utterly forget about this game entirely and then in 2015 when I had acquired the absolute perfection that is Bloodborne- I felt the brick wall of nostalgic memories flood through my mind and my heart and soul began to radiate and swell with total euphoric joy and utter elation….. since then anything that reminds me of Bloodborne brings me back to that moment and I can’t help but think of Nightmare Creatures & vice versa…. Makes me feel like a kid on Christmas morning…. Good shit
10:40 Very agile main character, day for exploring, night for fighting creatures and at night you transform...
THATS SONIC UNLEASHED
I'm loving these Halloween themed videos Matt, they are the best
I hope we get more of your top ten list
Seeing as Rob Zombie has been to attached to every horror-based IP under the sun I'm surprised he never pitched a nightmare creatures-based film.
One of my fav games from n64. Thank you Matt for gathering the Nightmare Creatures fans in one place!
Christ I remember losing HOURS to Nightmare Creatures as a kid... I can still remember the narrator saying "Nightmare Creatures" at the intro... Ignateus and Nadia, playing as the monsters, (the harpy was the most difficult for me)... thanks for the trip down memory lane lol
Nightmare Creatures was my most-played N64 game. I don't even know how I got it, but man the atmosphere was off the charts. And it, of course, was the first thing that came to mind when I played Bloodborne.
All I thought about today was "I think I'll watch a retrospective of Nightmare Creatures" just because I missed the games..thanks for coming in clutch, Matt!
Ah, the game that's been living in my head rent free since the 2000s
Can't watch yet. Have to wipe the nostalgia tears from my eyes. I played so much of this on N64. Marleybone!!!! It's all coming back. Wow. Matt. I had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder.
SAVAGE WARRIORS?!
YESSSSS! My childhooooood! I knew it would show up eventually - it was definitely awful, but it was the only fighting game I had for my old DOS PC 😅
I remember seeing creature art for Nightmare Creatures in a magazine and thought "this is the coolest thing ever" and I think that is where my absolute love for monsters came from.
The atmosphere and aesthetic of the first game left a pretty big impression on me as a kid, I'd love to see it get the Nightdive treatment!
I remember being so pumped to rent the og NC and then I couldn't figure out how to beat the first boss and just gave up.
Kudos for using the Conan O'Brien In The Year 2000 gimmick. 😂👏👏👏
I loved Nightmare Creatures on the n64 when I was a kid I can’t lie, just recently learned there was a second one too with Rob Zombie on the soundtrack… Thats 90s af😂
Hopefully someone else can pick this up for a possible remake/remaster.
I really loved the combat and gratuitous blood in this game. I do recall it being very difficult however but, a lot of games during this time were by virtue of frustrating controls and camera movement.
I used to love this game, I still think about it all the time
This was one of my favorite games back when I was in the 7th grade. I think the game had already been out for a while but the time I got it but I didn't care I loved it. I was a big fan of survival horror games as a kid. Silent Hill, resident evil 3 nemesis and of course nightmare creatures were some of my favorite games.
These What Happend? videos deserve millions of views. What is UA-cams algorithm doing
Wasn’t expecting this video to unlock a childhood memory of reading a review for Cold Fear in the local newspaper. Thanks for the blast back to the aughts.
Great gathering of NC history Matt! When playing The Mummy Demastered, I had a thought of having Wayforward doing something similar for NC. I suppose the closest thing in that flavor will be The Last Faith, next month. I really hope we get more Nightmare Creatures someday!
this game was my childhood, I had a full character arch with this game, I started out being terrified and by the end of the year I was almost out the asylum level
dude NC2 was great, his gameplay is hard at the beginning but the moment you learn to combo became so fun and creepy
I don't know what sort of connections Matt would have to find out info but I would love a What Happened focused on Fear Effect Inferno and the recently cancelled remake of the first game.
As always love those what happened videos!!
"Fight of the Furries" low-key probably the most eye-catching video game title I've ever seen
I know it as Fury of the Furries (maybe "fight" is for an American version?)
Nightmare Creatures ranks up there with Legacy of Kain for me regarding franchises I want to return. Loved this back in the day.
If anyone cares, the name of the Tim Powers novel is actually The Anubis Gates, and it's an incredible read.
"Jack the ripper was a boy scout compared to nightmare creatures" man 90s marketing was something else
I really really want to get back into Nightmare Creatures.
Without a doubt you are the funniest historian I have had the pleasure of subscribing to. Just came here to wish you Matt McMuscles Merry Christmas and Happy new year. Keep up the amazingly hilarious history videos in the new year
I'd definitely love to see a sub series about video game movies
Ah hell yeah right in time for my lunch break. Always appreciated!
I loved that game as a teen. It had the soundtrack on the disc and I always thought that was kinda rad. Super fun game. Never played the sequel. Idk why 🤷🏼♂️
I've been a fan Nightmare Creatures ever since my cousin rented it. Love them and how jank they are
To be honest, I loved NC 2. I played NC 1 but couldn't even finish it. So yeah, I hope someday we get to see a new entry or at least a remaster for both games
The demo on a Playstation demo disc got me hooked, and I loved the vibe of the full game, especially the intensely atmospheric soundtrack and the victorian designs. Frankly, it wasn't a great game from a gameplay perspective (the need to kill the next monster if you didn't wanna just keel over from not killing anything did a haymaker to the atmosphere, and let's not even talk about the "succeed or die" jumping mechanics), but a very memorable one.
Never played NC1, but played the hell out of NC2. If there's something I remember about is the insane difficulty, the clunky controls and the anticlimactic ending and end boss fight.
Man this literally unlocked a whole memory for me, I remember playing this game when I was little on those ps1 demo discs. What a time..sad that the series didn’t continue on.
So many fond memories of Nightmare creatures the original Bloodborne de-make. Making it to the final level thinking the game was glitched because the boss DID NOT want to die
Oh man, I love that you made a video about NC I loved that game so much, It was one of the first games I've ever played, It really shaped my childhood accompanied by Max Payne and Red Alert 2, Man you brought back the memories, Thanks you very much for this
Such a sad story, there was more that could of been done with this series
Have
@@simeonellinger2064 Bloodborne doesnt count...
@@simeonellinger2064 thanks for the correction 🙄
I remember this game and it was pretty good and it gave me nightmares as a kid though the sound design was good
The original Nightmare Creatures is one of those few PS1 games I owned for my PS2. Very fun title. I especially loved the cheat codes that let you play as almost every enemy in the game.
LMAO that ole' dog Rob Zombie sure got around in early 2000s video game soundtracks!
i love the idea that kalisto hemorrhaging money was so terrifyingly fast it was easier to believe they were running away with the money and weren't genuinely just shit at their job
Matt thank you for these videos, Nightmare Creatures is one of my favorite games ever! Big ups for keeping its memory alive!
I've been begging for a port, remaster, remake, anything for Nightmare Creatures to modern platforms
Great Stuff, as always!
