- Deep Fear was Sega taking a crack at cashing in on the Resident Evil craze in the late 90s. How did they do?

A Sega production, Deep Fear released in mid 1998 at the tail end of the Sega Saturn's life. While released in Europe, it never saw a North American release.
Deep Fear goes for a horror experience below the ocean's surface - an isolated military base. There are some interesting ideas with how the game handles our oxygen supply. Yet the game does little to put any challenge on the player with it, or with combat. There's no limited inventory to deal with, and ammo is never in short supply.
While an isolated military base under the ocean is a great setting, the exploration in Deep Fear is ho-hum. Areas blur into one another.
It's a far cry from what Resident Evil was able to achieve. Consider the fact that 1998 also saw the release of Resident Evil 2, and Deep Fear feels extra dated. Like a title they should've held off on until the release of the Dreamcast.
That said, Deep Fear does have its merits. It's one of the better cases of early survival horror cheese. From its hammy voice acting, to its memorable cast of characters. It helps make up for some of the lackluster gameplay.
It's by no means an essential play. If you do have a passing interest for the earlier days of Survival Horror, Deep Fear is worth looking into. You can do much better, but you can also do worse.

Honestly, I kinda dig the line flubbing. It doesn't just add cheesy charm, but people misspeak in real life all the time - if anything them messing up lines makes it more realistic, in a fun way!
The line, "Colt M1991A1, it's from my father's generation" is such a funny fucking line. Everything from the line delivery to the change from 1911 to 1991, which cannot be that long ago in the game's timeline, is just so perfect. What year does this game take place in anyway?
The Colt M1991A1 is a real firearm, its a Series 80 1911 GI-style Colt that had some minor upgrades and it did come out in 1991 as the name suggests. It's an interesting choice for this game because it was a budget 1911 that doesn't have a lot of modernization features that would've likely been present on a Navy Seal's duty pistol. I've noticed that Japanese game devs tended to get fixated on specific firearms that are otherwise not particularly notable in the US - maybe a result of lower information on gun culture.
@@tstststs Yeah, doesn't really surprise me that it's a real firearm tbh, there's a million copies out there. Still though, goofy ass line lol.
If any game deserves a re-release/remaster, it's this. The setting, concept, body horror aspects, potential is definitely fascinating, and warrents a second look with today's technology
I agree with your points. The gameplay on the other hand though...
Overblood
@@jonbourgoin182overblood, koudelka, haunting ground, etc
I always mix this up with the very similar game 'Carrier', so during this review I was constantly thinking ''But where's Jessifer?''
Guarding her "stuff".
I plan on covering Carrier.
OVERBLOOD. PIPOOOO!
@@BoulderPunch Ooh, Looking forward to it!
I actually wouldn't mind seeing a remaster of this. The setting and creature design alone makes it unique enough to make it stand out amongst other Resident Evil clones of the era.
Speaking of creature designs, does anyone else get Parasite Eve vibes from some of these monsters?
Deep Fear is a cool name though
My god. This game is so of it's time man. the voice acting. the clunky mechanics. The failed attempts at drama! Is like it tries to be the most resident evil non-resident evil game ever.
Nice video puncher.
£500? On the 'Games I'll never own' pile you go, say hello to Rule of Rose.
*hands tricorn hat*
“Have you ever considered…other methods?”
@@solarixstar I'm going to assume that I don't actually have to explain what I mean.
Saturn emulation is a bit spotty, but enough for the video.
Don't forget Haunting Ground, now!
@@BoulderPunch saturn emulation is actually very good these days.
This game scared the shit out of me as a kid. Late 90s pre rendered cut scenes along with the body horror kept me up at night. Glad to know that somebody other than me knows this game.
Man, this looks really cool. I'm a sucker for the monster design of the PS1 era. It's somehow more scary than the super detailed stuff we get nowadays with Resident Evil: Village or the FromSoft games.
I played deep fear when it came out and I absolutely loved it! Being a huge fan of The Abyss, which was still very present at the time, and The Thing, I loved the atmosphere. I especially liked that things just keep adding up, crisis to crisis. Unlike other survival horrors, you don't get to a place that's already been ravaged by whatever happened. Things start relatively safe and then just go pear-shaped and it just gets more and more oppressive. There is a certain sense of inescapability.
This is all helped by the fabulous OST. Kenji Kawai is one of my favourite composers, and his opening theme still lives in my head to this day. His pieces do lend to the urgency of some scenes.
And I will never, ever forget Doubois 😂 whenever people talk crap about resident evil's voiceacting, I'll always remember deep fear was a thing

"...(I could say SOMETHING, but I chose not to) ..."
XD
Aahh, good old RE clone games 😂😂 I remember playing this and laughing even when I was like 9 or 10!
2:57 God I miss Mitch so much man, the absolute material he could've had with the way shite is day to day nowadays.. he's the only comedian I've ever had a CD of. I do have Carlin books though.
So many great jokes. I love the Bigfoot one.
That first enemy introduction had some pretty good early cgi body horror in my eyes. Disturbing but pretty damn interesting.
21:21 I wish this part was voiced by Randy Marsh(Trey Parker)
The voice acting in this game is really another level 😂
its on this relatively rare level "i think any random person without acting training could do better than some of those voices"
3:30 lol, you're both fired 😂 😅
i hope youre feeling better and no longer have a cold
Kawai is my favourite anime soundtrack producer so thank you for showing me another one of his works. Also love the charm this game is overflowing with 😊
One thing I appreciated a LOT with Deep Fear is that it gave you the option to play with Analog controls if you had the Saturn Analog pad. It does reduce the tension and difficulty even further, but for people who are not a huge fan of tank controls, it's a wonderful option to have. Fear Effect 2 also gives the players this option.
Also, Mooky deserved better!!!!!
Deep Fear is part of those sentimental horror games like Lunacy or Haunted Mansion. Very distinct, likeable characters.
Nice video. Funny that between minutes 4 and 6 i heard the word "ammo" like 20 times... so as abundant as in the game i guess
Neat video-- I was a fan of survival horror back in these days, but since it never came to the US, I don't remember this one at all.
I appreciate the Mitch Hedberg inclusion.
Dude you NEED to cover Overblood
Nice to see Dino Crisis get brought up now and then.
i need a remaster of my fucking life
Wait until you're 45, you'll be wishing for a full remake.
I'm 10 seconds in and I already cannot believe this game is real.
EDIT: That artwork, though!
I still have this game plus the Dreamcast game called Carrier👍
i reallly liked the game, it got a cool setting and atmosphere and i love the "trash vibes" the cutscenes and voice acting have! its relatively easy difficulty also makes it great for beginners. also i noticed Dino Crisis 2 seems to be somewhat inspired from it, the more modern controls with the running and shooting at the same time, mostly eschewing puzzles and instead more combat, basically unlimited refillable ammo at those stations, the underwater section etc.
Deep Fear atmosphere somehow very nostalgic. Maybe it is due to being underwater setting.
When i had my sega saturn this and burning rangers were games i wanted at the time. Sadly, due to the N64 and playstation running away with self space i could buy them. I did have panzer dragoon sage, but i wasnt a huge rpg fan.
Please make a video on Cold Fear
last game i bought for my PAL Saturn
2:32 It would have helped if you showed the name difference on screen, I couldn't keep up with it from voice alone
It isn't important.
Resident Evil Meets 1989's Leviathan what's not to like?
Does anyone know the song that plays 16:25 ?
Nirasawa is a classic god in the Toku community
I pissed everywhere oh god no it’s on my clothes it’s on the ground it’s in the hall and on the wall I pissed everywhere
I missed this one.😂
Cold Fear next please. It's a clone of Resident Evil Dead Aim, i think.
I started a playthrough around a year ago but never got around to finishing it. Something I'll tackle at some point.
it's more like the missing link between RE4 and Dead Space
Oh man that dude's voice is hilarious.
👌
he he okey.. gina
The reason she's so ripped is that Anna is short for Anna-bolic steroids.
BP.
Returnal has a lot of horror elements.
Review it?
Anyone else felt sorry for the chimp?
Yup
👀 Well sweet lol
Mookie is gaming's first sigma male.
do you plan on playing the new Alone in the dark that no one is talking about lol?
Plz cover T.R.A.G. / Hard Edge
Call it a hot take, but we need more horror characters going "OoOh NoOo WhAtEvEr ShAlL wE dO!?"
pls stream something again soon
Could have been a great game.
there's oxygen in water too. just saying.
Spoilers for the game
Rambo making it out alive easily bumps the game's value up imo
I luv u bulder 🅱unch
It’s not a bad game, but it could’ve been better for sure.
foppish scared american movie gay sounding man is best voice ever in any game
Gay rep in media before 2010 sure was something
Thumbnail : wait, they have a DOGGO?!
0:09 My GAWD, whats with that voice choice...
XD
Dat woman voiceover😂😂😂
Man I miss Mitch Hedberg
That CRT filter is horrible.
