The special gimmick for this game was that you could insert a CD and it would generate a track for you to play along to.

The whole selling point of this game was that you could have almost an endless amount of stages thanks to using CDs Imagine if they remade this game but with Spotify support or something. That would be amazing.
I think it would be actually easy to remaster. It uses vector graphics, doesn’t it, that means it doesn’t have textures? That means running the same source code with a slightly different render code on a modern console could could just give the same game HD graphics while offering the same experience

I always felt bad for the poor rabbit, she's so full of joy, skipping, singing and dancing and she can't go anywhere but this black void, she's colorless and tries to enjoy the most simple of landscapes with weird songs in the back truly a depression filled character that deserves more love, more space to run and more colors to show.
she does get to dance to literally any song though, which is more than other video game characters get to do. Most games are limited to mostly original music, and maybe a couple licensed tracks. Also, she's a simple vector character, she fits in with the world she inhabits, the same way we fit ours. If you were brought out into some sort of 5th dimensional reality, made up entirely of things you'd never encountered before and probably can't ever understand, I don't think it would be a very enjoyable experience.
i realized it was japanese when it started saying "K" or other japanese letters that are commonly used. also when i searched up the game google said it was made by a japanese company lol
The bunny is actually speaking Japanese, and the title with the bubbly shapes that appear in the very beginning are actually Japanese katakana! If you stare at them close enough, you can see they are the katakana ビ(bi)ブ(bu)リ(ri)ボ(bo)ン(n), which spell "vibu ribon" in romaji. For those who are unfamiliar with the Japanese language, b katakana and hiragana are also used to make the v sounds of words in other languages like English. (●´ω｀●)❤️
Yeah, aside from a couple words on Duolingo (That I remember off the top of my head) I'm pretty unfamiliar with Japanese. So at first I thought Vibri was speaking animal crossing until I learned she was speaking Japanese.
Vib-Ribbon, with its odd vector-style graphics and synthesized voices, is one of my favorite rhythm games ever. It's totally unlike any other game out there, but then, would you really expect any less from the creators of Parappa?
The game was developed by NanaOn-Sha and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game first released in Japan on December 12, 1999, then in Europe on September 1, 2000. The company's founder, Masaya Matsuura (who even created his company's other series PaRappa the Rapper series) went onto this game. Although the original PlayStation version of the game didn't make a North American release, but the game was re-released as a PSone Classic in 2014 in North America.
They took the feeling of imagining a racer doing tricks outside your moving car’s window and put music to it. This game is everything it needs to be, and it is wonderful.
I remember this game sold pretty cheap. The guy who made it was a musician thru and thru during an interview with him. I think it was his first game he ever made, quite experimental. Sony Playstation used to do experimental games, sadly not anymore.
Would you consider Dreams as experimental? It's the most recent example I could think of. Also I think that game was announced in 2013, to be released in Feb/2020 lmao. Whatever it takes to deliver an excellent game.

This seems like one of the games you'd find in a thrift shop for $5 in the early 2000s, after the PS2 had come out but you still only had a PS1. Then you played it for the first time by yourself late at night, think it's a little strange but eventually it became one of your favourite games. Idk, that kind of feeling.
God I wanna find more music from this band... Idk if they did anything past vib ribbon, which makes me sad... The style is so unique. I haven't seen anything like it.
I thought she was always speaking gibberish like Animal Crossing. Guess my small brain couldn't comprehend the concept of different languages other than English.
Vibri's voice was computer-generated, and she speaks in Japanese, only faster; for players who understand the Japanese language, some doesn't; so the speech bubbles that Vibri says in either English, French, Spanish, German or Italian.
All these modern PS1 aesthetic games were inspired by gems like this,this is truly an absolute unit of a game in a sphere of the late 90's-late 2000's game development
I've never seen a game with timeless graphics like this. It's crazy that big companies push so hard to be realistic but all you really need to do the opposite which is funny. Hell, even the music sounds modern.
Really though that depends on the kinda game it is, these graphics fit a rhythm game like this absolutely perfectly. Can't say they would fit in like residents evil or halo, just like how minecraft used it's similar graphics spectacularly because it fits the gameplay style
@@NihongoWakannai That can be fixed as this game allows you to insert any music disc you want into the PS1 and it will generate a stage for every track And they're not randomly generated, if you insert the same disc again later it will give you the same stage it gave you before This game literally has limitless replayability
I see people talking about how the aesthetics would do just fine today (and they're right), but what about the ability to make your own courses by feeding the game tunes!? With all the new music we have these days, it could get crazy!
My apartment has a lot of things to trip/stub a toe on. I can't count how many times I've had "lalalaaa, tanoshii na-OTTO! ...Abunakatta!" on my brain while walking through it.
This has such a charming cute cryptic energy radiating from it. I absolutely love it. Despite being super rudimentary and bare rendered, the rabbit and by extension, the game, still has a heartfelt character to it.
If this game had been released in recent years - probably around late 2010s - it would be one of the top games today. This game looks so far ahead of its time. Graphically this is something what we see from 2000s Flash games.
I'm fascinated how the used the floating point limitation the PS1 and many other consoles of that aera had and made it an aesthetic choice. That said even just the fact they loaded the whole game, including sound effects into RAM just so you can play your own Audio CDs. And all that in 1999... dayum. If this game came out these days I'd love to pay 20 bucks for it, would be the perfect amount.
the first time i saw it years before finding out what it was or how it worked as a gaming exhibit thing i thought it looked like some sort of weird confusing nightmare game. its actually pretty cute but being thrown in with zero tutorial or idea what the game was it was very easy to not know what was happening in the slightest
i've always been fascinated with this game, it's so uniquely charming. i've had the tutorial melody and even vibri's little dance when you finish a stage stuck in my head for years now it's just adorable as heck
stephen sorensen Nah, they were definitely a thing my friend, Ikachan, made by the same person who made cavestory, was made in 1998 released in 1999 Sonic robo blast 2 was also released in 1998
i always watch this video because it keeps giving me the petscop vibes, mostly in the song at 9:20 where the guy changed the "don't stop now" to a more distorted "stop now". i'm 100% sure this thing has a deep lore
I heard a lot of good things about this game at the time of release, so I honestly thought it enjoyed more popularity and distribution - only now I learn it didn't even get an US release. Looking at videos made with various songs, it looks it is not unfortunately able to generate good levels with any track, but it's still nice to see it has virtually endless replayability because of that function. The main soundtrack is trippy. I've heard some of the tracks over the years without knowing from where they were.
@@serraramayfield9230 Yes, I know. I'm just saying that I am not going to, only because of a personal bias towards digital over physical ownership of a copy of a made intellectual property. More over, aside my bias, just super butthurt that we didn't get Vib-Ribbon sooner... :(
Oh, this game looks like wonderful, challenging fun. I just love artistically unique, and surreal games. I wondered what NanaOn-Sha and Masaya Matsuura also did outside of *Parappa the Rapper* and *Um Jammer Lammy!* So abstract and simplistic, yet there is charm, and I just adore the music, and Vibri's lovely singing voice!
take a look at rhyme rider kerorican, made by the same people. The portable vib-ribbon(without the cd function) but with different characters(theres more) and a story (only in japanese)
Vib-Ribbon was a great rhythm game for the PlayStation. The game's music was composed by Laugh & Peace, which Masaya Matsuura mentioned during the creation of the game. The first two rounds use the songs Polaroid and Sunny Day, the silver medal rounds use the songs Laugh & Peace and Universal Dance, and the gold medal's rounds have the songs Overflowing Emotions and Roll Along.
Gotta love the music in this game. It's some of my favourite stuff. Also, there was an unused track for the game called Rainbow found in the files. Someone made a video compiling all of the music, you can listen to it there.
Real shame we never got this one over here. As much as I LOVED Parappa and UmJammer Lammy, this looks like it would be just as bizarre of a trip to play through.
I thought vibri was someone's oc and some youtube animations since i kept getting recommended Vibri memes, i never knew it was a 1999 game for the ps1, I'm only just finding out what it is and i love it. It looks like something created in this time, like modern.
NEVER heard or seen of this game until watching a obscure VGM mix and I'm kinda blown away on how this is on Parappa levels of music quality. The fact you could even swap out the disc for different music is also mind-blowing considering I thought only Ridge Racer did this. Hope this game gets a remake.
i feel like the reason rhythm games are becoming more popular is because friday night funkin probably introduced people to other rhythm games like this one.
Vib-Ribbon's tutorial and title music are earworms. The RAM-play allowing you to do your own tracks and CD's is innovative to the rhythm genre. All this from a PlayStation 1 game. And such a simplistic monochrome polygon wireframe 2d design.
The special gimmick for this game was that you could insert a CD and it would generate a track for you to play along to. In order to be able to have the game running and access the CD, the data had to be stored in the PlayStation's RAM. Because the RAM was so small, they had to use simple lines for graphics to save space. It's a very interesting history and it makes me really respect this game because it still kept its charm and personality even with the minimalist visuals.
Sort of like how the OG Monster Rancher games would give you special monsters depending on the cd you'd insert.
@@arkbien9303 I never played Monster Rancher but I could guess it looks specific sectors of a disc and takes some numbers as a "seed". Wich sectors uses? No idea!
So, that means you can make Vibri’s life hell by using one of those 80’s hits to Rick roll her.
Not true. The vector graphic design was inspired by analog sound waves. Although it did save space that is not the sole reason it was made like that.
So if I can play megalovania on ps1 i could play it on this game?!
The whole selling point of this game was that you could have almost an endless amount of stages thanks to using CDs
Imagine if they remade this game but with Spotify support or something. That would be amazing.

Yoo I know whatchu mean!
Between Petscop and this, PS1 Era was truly disturbing xd
I heard a lot of good things about this game at the time of release, so I honestly thought it enjoyed more popularity and distribution - only now I learn it didn't even get an US release. Looking at videos made with various songs, it looks it is not unfortunately able to generate good levels with any track, but it's still nice to see it has virtually endless replayability because of that function.
The main soundtrack is trippy. I've heard some of the tracks over the years without knowing from where they were.
It actually does have a US release. Just buy from the PS3 store
@@trumpetmon65 Doesn't count! Personally, but yeah. Learning that we didn't get to play it first time around is still a bummer.
@@Quickdrawingartist Uh, it does count because it's been released in an official capacity.
@@serraramayfield9230
Yes, I know. I'm just saying that I am not going to, only because of a personal bias towards digital over physical ownership of a copy of a made intellectual property. More over, aside my bias, just super butthurt that we didn't get Vib-Ribbon sooner... :(
Sorry off-topic but Kyubey pfp!
The voice is definitely some kind of prototype of a vocaloid
no,its a person
It’s just someone speaking japanese, but sped up
@@cresoma and they remove some vowels too
@@אורשחר-פ2ס it’s a computer synthesized voice
I think in 1997 there was a prototype, not sure tho.
1:21 This is what happens when you make a mistake
*(Becomes a Minecraft frog)*
I never thought a vector rabbit would be so cute
In the sequel she has a purple glow and her voice is even better.
The entire game is just a fever dream
If you think THIS is a fever dream, check out it's sequels, Mojib-Ribbon and Vib-Ripple.
When she stops the tutorial to explain the like double click thing it’s so cuteeee
This was peak gaming back in the days everyone would go crazy for the ps1 and 2 i miss the old days
I love how she does a little head wiggle whenever she adds vibrato to her singing
Drinking challenge: take a shot every time he free styles before a normal move
Do you want me to die?
I would need several spare livers to survive that
dies
Im already drunk and i didnt even pass half of the video
Make sure to call the ambulance in advance.
I had nightmares when I played this as a child, it still creep me put a little.
AN on why?
@@coreygalbaugh8041 it's creepy
its cute
I think the reason why you were creeped out is probably because of the music and art style
idk I find it adorable
8:41 this _clear!_ screen with the little song after it is just precious
Oh, this game looks like wonderful, challenging fun. I just love artistically unique, and surreal games.
I wondered what NanaOn-Sha and Masaya Matsuura also did outside of *Parappa the Rapper* and *Um Jammer Lammy!*
So abstract and simplistic, yet there is charm, and I just adore the music, and Vibri's lovely singing voice!
I see you everywhere!
take a look at rhyme rider kerorican, made by the same people. The portable vib-ribbon(without the cd function) but with different characters(theres more) and a story (only in japanese)
These animations are insanely charismatic
Vib-Ribbon was a great rhythm game for the PlayStation. The game's music was composed by Laugh & Peace, which Masaya Matsuura mentioned during the creation of the game. The first two rounds use the songs Polaroid and Sunny Day, the silver medal rounds use the songs Laugh & Peace and Universal Dance, and the gold medal's rounds have the songs Overflowing Emotions and Roll Along.
Gotta love the music in this game. It's some of my favourite stuff.
Also, there was an unused track for the game called Rainbow found in the files. Someone made a video compiling all of the music, you can listen to it there.
I love this little happy rabbit thing... so much.
The tutorial is probably my favorite thing ever, she j us sounds so cute I can't help this Cynical heart love it so.
Yess, I've listened to it an unhealthy amount of times haha
I just want to hug her soooooo much
This feels oddly like a flash game.
Shift 3
Well shit, i cant unsee that now lol
Felt the same
@FootsoreGraph 50 I looked up in google and flash player appeared in 1996. Make sure it's right before saying something, just a tip.
@@unothecard3839 “This feels oddly like a flash game” =\= “This is a flash game”
Real shame we never got this one over here. As much as I LOVED Parappa and UmJammer Lammy, this looks like it would be just as bizarre of a trip to play through.
Vib's tortured scream when you hit an obstacle is a neat touch
I thought vibri was someone's oc and some youtube animations since i kept getting recommended Vibri memes, i never knew it was a 1999 game for the ps1, I'm only just finding out what it is and i love it. It looks like something created in this time, like modern.
I thought the exact same thing as you! I really like Vibri, and I will try and find more about this silly little game for the PS1.
I am VibRibbon
OC means Fanmade character.
@@JaxCoolKartunesit said “I thought” so they thought it was someone’s OC
I thought it was an animation, but it's an actual game wtf
Or asteroids with smoother graphics
I thought it was a horror game
I thought it was a troll game that was made badly on purpose
@@PastelHime whaddya expect from a 2000 game lmao
@@deliriumcry
I didn't knew it was 3D lol
The game would easily work nowadays with streaming music. I’d love to see this make a return
Ive heard the soundtrack for this game apparently but never knew it was this game. Neat to learn this info after a few years
Looks like a deleted endless mode from rhythm heaven

pov: this showed up in your recommended 6 years after it was realized
Too true
What realized?.
It did again. But I've played this before Vib-Ribbon before and I remember seeing this video awhile ago.
Yes. But to be fair, i've been in a Vib Ribbon mood lately.
Nah I searched this
I first just started thinking ENA whenever I saw the guy.
The Brick Frog from Temptation Stairway looks just like her!
is that why she looks so familiar to me?
Sledger how are you
@@eyaacoub8279 good
Joel G?
0:39 miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii got me dying
Am I the only one who's really annoyed that he's pushing extra buttons before every obstacle?
No
But I guess he’s trying to get better sync with the songs?
YES
I think it might be auto-done by the game to fit with the music or something??
Irritating
I introduced this to one of the teachers at my school
Let's say she loved the look of it
Ok
great!
@@eco1969 hey it is me, the same person. Thanks!
My friends don’t like it lol
@@Huwitto well they are tasteless
Wow, the music feels ahead of its time and sounds magnificent. I think it's aged really well!
This guy hits so many ad-libs at 13:20 and i'm impressed
and its on beat too
1:06 what most people came for
yeah
Yes xd
i came for the song...
I absolutely adore that tutorial.
Y e s s i r
Vibri: it’s really simple!
Me: I can’t even remember the controls
finally, someone who knows what theyre doing.
One of the most aesthetically pleasing retro games
When she gets hurt is terrifying
7:11 I like the music
i'm glad youtube kept recommending me this actually
I love this game. This game is so different and creative, that all of this is just Wow !
This game is so visually unique! It's adorable and very memorable :)
NEVER heard or seen of this game until watching a obscure VGM mix and I'm kinda blown away on how this is on Parappa levels of music quality. The fact you could even swap out the disc for different music is also mind-blowing considering I thought only Ridge Racer did this. Hope this game gets a remake.
its probably on parappa levels because this is made by the same people that made parappa
I just LOVE this games style and music, mainly the tutorial song is probably my favourite.
I've said this before, but I love how experimental the music of this game sounds. Every song is unique but shares the same vibe imo.
those animations are smoother than a baby's skin
2:20
You just gotta love how the music slows down along with her.
Also how is this suddenly becoming relevant in 2020
I just got recommended it
Considering this game is an obscure one, it's really weird we just have related videos now.
Biblically Accurate Angels Are Also Becoming Popular.
It Seems To Be A Warning Of Things That Will Happen To Us From Above Through Below.
i feel like the reason rhythm games are becoming more popular is because friday night funkin probably introduced people to other rhythm games like this one.
How is this becoming relevant in 2021
Vib-Ribbon's tutorial and title music are earworms.
The RAM-play allowing you to do your own tracks and CD's is innovative to the rhythm genre.
All this from a PlayStation 1 game.
And such a simplistic monochrome polygon wireframe 2d design.
And yet I, a game developer, am scratching my head to make a game that reads the first line from a cd in PlayStation 1
Im in love with this game art and gameplay, to be honest
