    The official/unoffical sequel to Another World
    Eric Chahi had nothing to do with this, and it shows - its worse than its prequel, and the story makes not much sense!

    Its such a terrible shame Lester died. He arrived in that strange world and was stuck there and made a friend, and it shows even if someone is different they have capacity to care for you. Even after Lester had died his friend gave him a proper funeral using there methods, that was really nice, so in the end Lester was treated like one of thier own. Rest in peace Lester.

      The original developer suggested just remaking the original game, but from the perspective of the alien. This new team decided to just make a new game without the confines. The original developer does not acknowledge this game and it is not considered a real sequel. Love the opening though.

    i saw a lot of people saying that you can '' feel the absence of Eric Chahi '' Chahi actually made this game , but had a totally different vision of it. He didn't wanted to do a sequel , but wanted the second game to be a remake of the first one , but playing as Buddy ( mikearuba for game grumps fan - or big potato head man for the rest ). So you would know the back story of him and what happened to him during the part where he was'nt with Lester. That probably explain why in the startup cinematic you see a bit of back story and a bit of what happened on Buddy's side during the first game. Anyway long story short , Chahi didnt wanted to do a sequel , its the publisher who decided, seeing the first game success , they wanted more money. After the game was done Chahi was disappointed by the whole thing , and felt the game could have been 10 times better and more polished so he asked to be removed from the credit. And honestly the game felt rushed and none cant deny that. animations during game play cuts , its not as polished as the first game , the whip... god seriously ? you have the opportunity to make a whole totally different mechanic with this , but recycle the exact same one from the lazer gun making the whip able to create shield and shoot lazers ? come on... if i would've been Chahi , i would've done the exact same thing , and would've created the game i wanted to create. oh god i sold them the license ? well , change the name and voila.

    • @jackaleope
      @jackaleope 9 років тому +4

      +JetSet fgdfh The initial idea he pitched about a sequel when approached about it was exactly that, you're right; he would basically make Another World again but have it be from Buddy's point of view instead. Unfortunately though the publisher basically took his idea and just. did their own thing, and Eric hated it, and actually removed himself from the project early on and didn't want to be credited at all.
      But, this idea was also purely hypothetical under the pressure to create another game to begin with; in interviews Eric talks about not really ever /wanting/ to make another game in the first place at all because he wanted to preserve Another World exactly as it is as a standalone experience and was happy with it as it was.
      In the end I would have rather had no second game at all, like Eric originally wanted, than to have wound up with the steaming pile of soulless garbage that is Heart of the Alien. sigh.

    The difference is, Flashback 2 (Fade to Black) was done by Flashback's creator Paul Cuisset and therefore deemed as official sequel to Flashback by both him and Delphine. Another World 2 (Heart of the Alien), on the contrary, was created out of Eric Chahi's blessing and while it was regarded by Delphine as the official sequel to Another World, Eric disregarded it as such. Now that Delphine is dead, the license got back to Eric and he dropped Heart of the Alien out of the canon where it was once.

    I don't get the whip in the second game. In the opening cut scenes, it zaps whatever it touches when you whip it. However, in the game, you don't USE the whip as a whip, unless you're trying to swing across a hole. He has the whip neatly coiled in his hand, which he fires laser beams out of.

      could you please explain to me the chronological order of these games. i was a really big fan of flashback, but i really didn't know it was part of a series. i just happened to stumble on this video by accident. what's the name of the first one? is it "out of this world" or "another world"?

    • @oxygeninterface
      @oxygeninterface 10 років тому

      ***** thank you for that very thorough and precise explanation. i was a bit confused but that cleared it up perfectly. i also rather enjoyed fade to black simply because it could be very challengeing on the hardest level of gameplay. just messing up once or the slighest mistake on your part could cause you to die with one enemy shot. plus, i just found the game so engrossing. you really had to engage yourself in order to beat the levels and that made it very enjoyable.

    • @oxygeninterface
      @oxygeninterface 10 років тому

      ***** you explained it perfectly. there's no need for me to ask anymore questions about it. =)
      and i totally agree about the illustrated backgrounds flashback had: such rich and vivid colors, especially on the last level. i greatly enjoyed the second and third levels, however, because they were very technoirish in style, which reminded me of the first terminator movie. also... the way they depicted earth made it seem like metropolis, or maybe like something out of the movie bladerunner, which is another favorite of mine because it's also heavy on the technoir. the whole game is a work of art in my opinion because it flows like a graphic novel, and i've never seen any other game capture that kind of essence and visual style.
      but believe it or not, i hadn't even heard they had made a remake until only a couple of days ago. i can't say i was very impressed though from the few clips i saw because, like i said before, what made the original so great was the "feel"... every scene was a painting, and every painting brought out a sense of imagery, which made you feel like you were progressing through a story in a graphic novel, which evoked a great sense of surrealism. plus, the remake wasn't shaded in a technoir hue, which was the original's selling point in my opinion. also, i thought they made conrad look really gay; but, i've never played the game so i can't really say. i'd probably get into it if i got the chance to play it.

    This was deemed official by Delphine Software International, so it's not what you say. Eric Chahi could say what he wanted, but Delphine had the last word on this game as license bearer and therefore allowed Interplay to develop it and Virgin Interactive to release it. It was not published in Europe simply because as of late 1994 the PAL Mega-CD market was considered dead by Virgin and therefore the planned PAL release was cancelled, despite some European magazines managing to review the game.

In 90% of cases I died because I didn't know what should I click, where exactly should I stand and because the whip had it's own desires when to shoot and when to create shield. Lester's death just made the whole thing even worse.

    • @jackaleope
      @jackaleope 8 років тому +1

      My speculation is just pure xenophobia. to these aliens, lester is actually the "alien" in the situation, so i don't know; fear of the unknown maybe. some seem hostile while others seem curious.
      the race itself seems hostile to begin with, which explains the outright aggression. their society seems run entirely by a militant government... but, notice how the first aliens he encounters don't actually try to kill him, they only knock him out and imprison him, most likely to examine him later. its only when he escapes and is suddenly armed that they kill him.
      i mean, i consider it sort of the same thing that would happen here if humans were to encounter an "alien" creature.. its not that they dont "like" him, they are just completely unfamiliar with him and might be threatened/disgusted/intrigued by his presence simply due to that. : p

    Technically a good job, even if you can feel the absence of Chahi (they've lost most of the graphic semplicity in the cinematics, and they've used too much rotoscoping). Also, I think they've totally misunderstood the end of Lester in the original game. Lester does not actually die, but the real ending it's left to the player, that can imagine what he wants looking at the fly of our heroes away in the sky. Here Lester is killed and his corpse is burnt... that is the exact opposite in the Chahi's vision!

    • @jackaleope
      @jackaleope 9 років тому +7

      +giovanni scarfini I'm 99% sure Chahi probably saw the scene where Lester dies and that was absolutely the point at which he'd decided to disown it entirely. I would have, too. It's so upsetting and literally puts the entire concept in its grave. Lester, the guy we are routing for and relate to for the entire journey, the one Chahi literally equates to himself and his own struggles as a designer, dies in the most crass and brushed off way.
      Its such an insult.

      Yeah, its something I've always wondered too, but tbh as far as an actual continuation of the story goes, I don't know if he's actually thought much about it himself. It's definitely one of those things he intended to leave up to the player. But I would love to hear more about the actual world within the game straight from the source one day.
      Yes I am! I actually draw quite a lot of fan art of the game and do a lot of theorizing about the world itself in my spare time. haha. I even made a shirt! www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/188593-another-world (shameless self promotion I know, lol). Needless to say I'm sort of a superfan of the game and Chahi in general.. heh.
      Actually, come to think of it, there might be a source for a LOT of information on Another World itself, but right now it's only in French, and the authors of the book are doing a campaign right now to raise money for an English edition www.kickstarter.com/projects/1199708184/welcome-to-another-world its only got 5 days left, so i dont know if it will be funded...which will be a shame.

    Despite of the sequel being fairly lacking, it is still faithful to the original game. The problems was the controls were not as tight as the first game, and the traps were a little too ridiculous in difficulty for this kind of game play. Plus there was at least one confusing area where you have to set the bomb. The game, not even the book, ever tells you (I would know, I actually own this game). It also goes against the idea of letting the players imagine the overall setting of the game.

    I may do a review of this game. Had I have the resources, I may even do a retrospective as I highly respect Eric Chahi and his work on this game, along with Heart of Darkness and will soon play From Dust.
    In fact, I'm gonna start saving up some funds and start hunting the other versions and his other works down. Thanks for the inspiration, ScHIAuChi.

    That one only includes Another World, not Heart of the Alien. The new releases of Another World are done by Eric Chahi himself as he got the license back from Delphine Software when it folded, and since he has always diregarded Heart of the Alien (despite being considered canon by Delphine), he won't be re-releasing the game ever. Thus, it will remain exclusive for the Mega-CD forever and aside from the unofficial source ports that can be done through the Heart of the Alien Redux interpreter.

    I'm also a fan of Eric Chahi work, and I'm still wondering why didn't he collaborate with "Heart of Alien", or more simply without controversies, why didn't he create a sequel of his own? The fans wanted, the market would want it, he was also fond to the idea or creating a sequel, so what happened? "Heart of the Alien" looks like a pale clone of "Another World", but it's the only thing that exists in 20 years concerning a sequel to the story. "Heart of Darkness" has Eric Chahi's spirit but its animations (cinematics) are of the most paradoxical to Eric's aesthetic style, not to say they are even worst than Heart of the Alien. Nowadays it's easy to raise a kickstarting fund in the indie market. Take Julian Gollop's Chaos for example. Is Eric Chahi afraid of not being able to match his own creations? What happened?

    • @jackaleope
      @jackaleope 9 років тому +1

      +José Pedro Caldeira Gomes a lot of it comes down to the fact that Eric Chahi himself doesn't like to look back too much. He creates something, and likes it to exist as a single entity. The meaning and personal symbolism behind each of his creations is very important. He doesnt even like talking too much about Another World in detail because to him its very personal, and prefers to leave the interpretation of it up to the player as much as possible. I think he feels that doing a sequel would add too much context to the work. Which is why when approached about a sequel initally, he said "well, if I did, I might do it like this.." purely hypothetically, and the developers at virgin software just took that and ran with it mostly behind Chahi's back because to them, it was about the profit to be made on the popularity of the original work, which I dont think is part of his values (this being the reason why most fans just. don't regard Heart of the Alien as canon in any way, because it was majorly just a cash in by the boss people at interplay).
      Chahi has actually stated in interviews and gaming conferences that he has absolutely no plans to do anything in the way of a remake or a sequel because he prefers to leave Another World preserved exactly as it is, and I think that's respectable.
      As for what happened to him, his interests simply changed I think. From what I hear, he's always been very much into geology and volcanoes. Right now he's developing an oculus rift volcano simulator for museums based on the engine that was developed in From Dust, that amazing game he developed in 2011 that no one played because Ubisoft screwed him right over. Honestly, I think he's just done with most publishing companies at this point and I don't blame him (he's told a lot of stories about how especially interplay put a bad taste in his mouth), so I wouldn't expect to see another game from him for a while.
      Youre right, there is definitely an emphasis on resources in funding for indie developers, and maybe in the next few years we'll see him utilize it for a new project, but he loves (and hates) Another World just the way it is, so don't expect to see him do anything more with it. There is something to be said for not fixing what isn't broken.

    Playing this game back in the 90's without a guide was a pain, especially the water caverns part. I wish the second part had been in it.
    The main characters end was pretty unspectacular.
    I believe the part with the stairs and the laser hitting the wall is a reference to the double slit experiment.

    I have a book coming out October 20th 2017 that is inspired by this game called Hostile World. That being said I remember loving the cutscenes of the sequel as a kid but the first game felt more creative and cinematic. The second game I remember I kept dying by that stupid dog beast at the beginning of the game. Some parts were clever like swinging across on one of the humanoid's legs but not much imagination overall. Still, it wasn't horrible. I liked it.

  • @WeskerSega

    If you think Sega fell because of this game then you must be pretty naive. You can say Delphine Software International fell, Interplay fell or even Virgin Interactive fell because of this game as each of these companies had a part of involvement on it, but not Sega which wasn't involved at all and didn't have any say on the game apart from allowing it to be released on the Mega-CD like they would do with ANY OTHER GAME.

    Blame both Delphine Software International and Interplay (and, to some extent, Virgin Interactive's publishing) for the existence of this game, not Sega. What's shitty is to blame the console holder of a game that had absolutely no relation to Sega aside from being a Mega-CD game.

Kudo's to the player. I died a thousand times before I got half as good as you. lol Well done, and thanks for including the sequel. This one one of my favorite SNES games, along with Flashback and Prince of Persia. Good games all that I can still play today on that same working SNES.

    watched part 2 for the first time now, much better than I thought / expected: nice animations all over. can't understand how some could call them bad or not up to date. they are done a bit in an other more handmade drawing-style direction, but really good anyway. -At least Lester's dying in the end or Alien's kind burring people ;) was tried to make a bit emotional with the common intro-music playing and taking part in front of the impressing/wide background of the 'city' that he (Lester)+we saw with excitement from the top of the tower in part 1 by himself / ourselfes. So I can't complain that much.
