30:40 WHAT IS THAT DAMAGE

Incredible video mate!

It's a mystery that the finger joints that looked so good in the tech demo became so sloppy in the final version

In retrospect, it's actually insane Virtua Fighter 1 came out only TWO YEARS after the first edition of Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury.

Brilliant video. I told someone recently my favourite seasons of red dwarf are the first two, that pathos and central idea revolving around Lister being the last man alive was fundamental in those season's. The scene when he goes into the canteen and remembers a party then it all fades away. The observation deck which was removed after season 3, the bunk bed conversations, the vending machine being almost a character and the most central of all the very fact season's one and two are set on RedDwarf. I haven't seen RedDwarf in many year's but now that I'm going back and rewatching them I'm finding each season has it's own identity which is lost in the next, it's very interesting

Very nice video, congrats!

i am from 2002 and i'm so impressed how fluid this is for 1994 :O

the first two series are very dear to my heart, so seeing this video is awesome

If Streets of Rage 2 hadn't been the pack-in game for my Genesis, my love affair with Sega may never have started. It is near perfect, and along with Gunstar Heroes and Sonic 2, SOR2 was a flashy product advertisement for what the Genesis could do for your skeptical SNES owning friends.

Would love to have seen this board running on my megalo410s

Core memory seeing this game as a kid for the first time in the arcades

How did you get the footage: MiSTer or Saturn plus an upscaler and filters? Great content! 😊

Pre PS2 Graphics

I reinstalled this game because I got so tired of games like motogp and ride, which are great, but are all simulations and so impossible to handle, good lord I just wanna drive

This is awful. Killer instinct was way more fluid

This is the game that made me discover Virtua Fighter. I instantly preferred it to Tekken and Dead or Alive. So many hours passed on this game, I never got tired of it. With Virtua Racing, it made me love the 32X. This platform had so much potential, too bad Sega didn't make good use of it.

So what is it?

12:45 that's kinda neat I never noticed that fence going up before

Will do you do more videos in this series? I really liked this one. Have you played Jet Moto?

You couldn’t make Red Dwarf today, cos of woke. They’d probably put in a black metrosexual and a trans computer!

We need a video on shenmue 3

I never realized VF5 Ultimate showdowns stages were just remade versions of VF2 stages 😲

Is there possible that you can record the DAYTONA USA in this quality too ?

Nice video! I think if you go back to Sega touring car or Daytona and play them in manual gears you will enjoy them a lot more, especially Daytona dropping into 2nd from 4th as you turn in and back up again will have drifting in no time. Slowing down in the gears in STC will slow you down faster and straighten up an take off quicker coming back up the gears,it’s a fun game when mastered. I agree on Sega Rally best racing game ever.

Double Dragon II is truly another bad port as was the first game, the original was such a popular game and the Mega Drive was way more powerful than that arcade board, so it should be not a perfect port, but better and with extras. Strangely, if you load DDII on an emulator and overclock the MD CPU to 200% or more, the stutters are gone, so yeah, the developers behind this game were lost, or maybe a deadline factor, but I doubt it. Sword of Sodan isn't a beat-em-up, it's an attempt at an action game, with a rudimentary inventory management, it's laughably bad.

I bet if Sega stilll did custom hardware and arcades were still as popular like in the early 90s I bet Sega could put out something that even an RTX 5090 would struggle with.

Have you tried playing it in Expert Mode? IIRC the AI becomes a lot less exploitable with the run/throw method when it's Expert.

Excellent video! As an avid player of Virtua Fighter (Saturn) for decades, I am wondering if you could offer any information on the ranking mode. I have only seen one person on TH-cam get the highest rank, and with all my years of practice, I still have yet to obtain it. I contacted Mr. Suzuki and was offered no answers. Is 9th Dan possible?

For 1996 this was an amazing technological achievement. I remember seeing VF3 at Sega World in London in 1997 and it was simply jaw-dropping. They had an island of sit-down cabinets with large rear-projected monitors standing back-to-back against each other. It was massive. It felt like you were quite literally seeing what the future of video games would look like. Having said that, I feel that VF3 has aged rather poorly and that is mostly down to the art direction. The characters look lifeless, they animate stiffly and they still used this old modelling style whereby each joint and body part is a separate model rather than using skinned meshes. By the time VF3tb came out on the Dreamcast, which was by all accounts a very solid port, it felt very dated and was easily eclipsed by Soulcalibur, which is arguably a less technologically advanced game but one that had art direction and animation quality far beyond anything we'd ever seen at the time. It just goes to show that good art direction is far more important than just raw technical prowess.

Basically it’s the same as me. Vf3 is nostalgia. First time I saw it was at gameworks when it first opened. I never ran so fast to a game that cost a whole dollar to play. Also, nice touch at the end with the Saturn. My favorite console ever. Hit me right in the feels.

Loved the game from the first time I played it. Tried to explain it to friends at school upon return from Christmas Holidays and they looked at me like I was nuts when telling them about the forklift section Their response; that sounds boring as all hell. It really was one of those games that you had to play and immerse yourself in to truly understand, I think. And that’s why it worked for me. The game has a level of immersion that I still don’t see from even modern releases. It really goes out of its way to build a lived in world that feels like a real place rooted in time. And I loved it. I loved just hanging out in Yokosuka. I loved killing time collecting toy capsules. I loved getting high scores in the arcades. I loved learning new martial arts moves from various masters. I loved messing about with the simplified VF engine I loved collecting the Saturn games and playing them on the Saturn under the TV. I loved that the local shop keep would affectionately call me baby Ryo much to Ryo’s chagrin It’s all these little details that make this game something special to me

Would love to hear a full version of the 8:20 track ha. This is my favourite game channel, its got that late night UK show vibe in the 90s, but about what we were actually playing in the 90s

Don't agree on story on fighting games but I love the simplicity of it in vf series in particular

this was insane for 96. We wouldn't get visuals close to this until 2000.

beautiful video!

You can get the Saturn Twin sticks for Virtual On and use an adapter. They are usually a good bit cheaper than the DC ones. Also a few other Saturn games support them, like Gundam Blue Destiny . I used to own the cabinet for the 1st game, it was amazing. It is basically unplayable with a standard controller imo.

I loved Space Griffon on the PS1, not that it was an amazing game, but I enjoyed it. Kind of combined survival with a mech game. It's really easy to run out of ammo and get soft locked. I was pretty disappointed to play the DC version and find basically the same game with a barebones graphic upgrade

The virtua fighter series has always been amazing with each entry, each one pushed it to the next level

Great video, next time could you put a list of games. I had a hard time finding several because I wasn't sure how to spell them lol

2021... I'm watching this in 2024 after VF6 was finally announced.

Thank you for this series. The Dreamcast is my favorite console, and I'm loving this journey. Of the games in this chapter, I've only played two: Shenmue (my favorite by far, a game so wonderful that it's hard to explain everything that's good about it) and Resident Evil 2 (which I only played halfway through, because I didn't like it... only the first one really enchanted me). I hope you have the strength and patience to get to the end of the list of games. Greetings from Brazil.

Great program and presentation. Thanks for the satisfying length of game footage. My tops are VF, VFR, VF2, FMM, LB, and DOA. I wont touch the other 3D fighters on Saturn. So, I played VF2 the most, both 1 player and 2 player. I'm a huge VF and Shenmue fan, I especially love the music in VF1, it has superb presence. I love FMM a lot too, what a great idea, I loved the mix of styles and characters and the inclusion of VF3 moves, including the 3D sidestep! Why has Sega forgotten it? Last Bronx has a unique feel, the fighting is quicker and more brutal, and it doesn't seem as strategic as VF2, but the visuals are probably the best of all these.

1:11:15 I especially enjoy the Shenmue section discussion and game clips. A fantastic game and even better sequel. I remember picking up the disk at Electronics Boutique. It was the day that it rained. I ran home on the narrow street, stopping only to pet a stray cat. A black car almost side swiped me in my rush. Through the yard gate and into the home I ran, past our housekeeper Ini-san, and popped it into my game system. Well, that is how I remember it.

Here after the vf 5 revo beta, awesome content, subbed

The models were pretty impressive for their time (1993), SEGA tried to do the most detailed character they could and give them personality. But with the advances of technics in texturing 3D models you could see low poly models that could looks better thanks to a colorfull texture, even Tekken 3 had very low poly count in their models compared to the first virtua fighter, but thanks to the textures they looks pretty good. But SEGA did redesingned a lot of their characters and gave them lots altern costumes, but something I always question about SEGA is that they took a path where they wanted to show detailed characters only using 3D, pretty daring task for that time.

Ive always been a sci-fi and technology fan, to that end I even Work in tech now, when I was a kid, of course I watched this movie, and learning tech, and working in that area over the years there are two main things form the terminator that have always made me fearful of what we are doing and where we are going, the first is when Reece says the denfence computer is big powerful and hooked into everything, in in the 80s that was a pipe dream, but here we are pretty much all computers and phones are connected to each other, and the other is when he says to sarah they cant make them for about 40yrs, and here we are about 40yrs later, with humanoid robots being tested and tried out in jobs.

I remember when I got the sega saturn back in 1995 VF1 came bundled with it. I loved the first game then but when VF2 came out on console I really fell in love with the series. I played them a bit in the arcades as well. VF2 is brilliant! Good video!

SOR1 still has the best music in the series bar none
