Small correction: the first PS1 3D game is in fact called Clock Tower 2 in Japan and what western audience know as Clock Tower 2 is actually just a spinoff called "Clock Tower: Ghost Head". This is because first CT was never released outside of Japan so they thought they will just remove "2" from game title to not confuse people lol.
Yeah the naming convention was a bit of a minefield. I actually had a paragraph dedicated to it in th script but when I recorded it, I thought it sounded too convoluted and confusing so I cut it. My apologies if the end result didn't explain that properly.
Love the art style and the retro sound track. Kinda like a 2D version of Amnesia. 9 endings is pretty cool for such an old game! I dont think I would be able to play this - too scary!
The atmosphere and tension the game has is just *kisses his fingers * superb
Haha I like to use this, I think it has the same effect 🤌🤌🤌
I know nightcry doesn't get that good of a rap, but to its credit, it was entirely intended for mobile play- so the amount of detail and design is actually pretty great for the platform it's on.
And with that said, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I AM SO EXCITED TO HEAR ANOTHER CLOCK TOWER IS COMING OUT ^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I understand it, it was INITIALLY created for smart devices and then mid production they switched over, which was a bold move but sadly it didn’t play out very well. Telltale games proved that not only can it be achieved, it can be done so well as to sweep people off their feet, and considering the amazing games of Kono’s past, I think his team dropped the ball whatever way you look at it. But that is just my opinion! Clearly we agree on our feelings about a new Clocktower remaster though 😀
@@CasualGamr Amen ^^ personally I'll always forgive. Nightcry since it was meant to be mobile but that's just me- I still think they did a great job with the death animations any way you look at it, beats just "slowly approaching and fade to black mid scream". I know people think it's "artsy", but I admire more games that put effort into their death animations, it lets you know how much actual heart went into a games production than most games that just "ragdoll fall + game over".
heres hoping for a lot of death scenes and a lot of endings to the remake- i am beyond excited to hear that it's coming as opposed to just another clocktower-like game like that "remothered" or whatever thing which was alright in its self, it just felt like it had a literal lack of emotion, you know? Hard to say.
If you watch Tangomushi's video about Nightcry you can understand why most people could disagree with your opinion, i knew a lot of things about how bad that game development was, but her video has a lot of details that i never got to know. It was really messed up and for the sake of game developing in general no one should ever buy that game or any games from that company and producers.
@@rantayo4067 Eesh, sounds horrible :/ i'd still respect the actual developers but definitely wouldn't consider (not that i Ever intended to since playthroughs exist XP) buying a game from a company if it sounds that bad :/
It's sad that no one ever mentions Remothered in these clock tower retrospectives, that game literally started as a fan remake of the original clock tower, and is certainly better than most titles in the franchise.
Remothered is definitely cool, and It being a spiritual successor is equally as cool. But, I think the second game, being as crazy buggy as it is and not making too much sense story-wise kinda drags the franchise down a few pegs.
You just sent me down a wiki rabbit hole, my friend. I am still a little speechless that in all these years, I have never even heard of this. That's why I didn't include it: I didn't know. I would have mentiond it to be honest, I just don't understand how it passed me by. Time to fire up eBay haha, thanks for the heads up👍
@@CasualGamrHAHA Do yo thang.
Very interesting, especially seeing the birth of modern genre staples that we take for granted nowadays. It just proves that games don't have to be overly complex to provide us with tension and horror.
the hard part is finding a complex game these days (not counting indies)
Damn straight, although you just wait, with the dawn of AI and the new platforms like Unreal 5, we might start mistaking some indies for AAAs...
The pixel art was really good for the time.
Good shit. Keep it up!
WayForward and Limited Run Games brought back Clock Tower in the best way possible.
I hope Clock Tower sells good on limited run, I hope this one gets a remake in the future and even its own movie.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Remothered series because it was inspired by the Clock Tower games and has the same gameplay style! I read somewhere that it initially might have been going to be a Clock Tower revival. The first one, "Tormented Fathers," was really good but far from perfect. The story was good, but the way they told it could have been better!. It also had some bugs and glitches, but despite being a short game of 4-6 hours, I really liked the gameplay and the puzzles. Broken Porcelain, on the other hand, was so buggy it was unplayable when it was released! They released a couple of bug patches for it, but that game will never be better than the first one.
High Quality videos you produce, I've been seeing a lot of newtubers (New TH-camrs) that to me look no different from More popular TH-camrs, and so I think it's not far for these new tubers to become more popular.
Well I have only ever played Clock Tower 3, but I really liked it. The gameplay was fun, both the hidding parts and the "shoot light arrows and defeat the boss" parts.
Ha well if you liked Clock Tower 3 then I would advise Haunting Ground, it's different but has more depth and originality to the gameplay so overall it's more memorable. Both are good games either way.
I never played any of the Clock Tower games but I would definitely be interested in this revival of the original game.
I have however played Haunting Ground and it's one of my favorite survival horror games even and I would love to see that game get a proper remaster/remake that is easily accessible for modern gamers.
Thanks for this video! It got me interested in the potential future of niche horror games with a more unique aesthetic and playstyle from the mainstream run-n-gun Resident Evil types. 😁
scissor man is is Bobby, the purple blob is dan who is the scissor man in the 3d clocktower game
Very happy they remaster it, I watched videos of the original, which looked great, but when I tried it, it wasn't easy to handle
I fear it might handle pretty much the same, but if they did find a way to modernise it I wouldn't complain!
Nice video, I remember gamepro or one of those magazines had an issue where they matched villains of horror games against each other. When they got to scissorman they made a joke about him tripping with the scissors lol. I didn’t even remember the original being like that, thought the first one was on PlayStation
Thanks! And you know I have the slightest feeling I remember something like that from my childhood, I lived and breathed those magazines when I was at school haha, the demo discs alone made them like gold dust!
@@CasualGamr the demo discs back in PlayStation era was a crazy time. A lot of games I would’ve probably missed if it wasn’t for that
So happy for this to be a reality, since the original low resolution, Japanese is incredibly hard to read when you’re not that familiar with the language anyway and have bad vision on top of that.
I was thinking before the guy got wrapped up head. Well, his face he was running with scissors when he cut. The chandelier that fell on the guy he cut it. Then he was running and the lady came out Closted tripped him Down the stairs. Because she trips him. And he cuts his face up.
Goes to the hospital in the doctor says you shouldn't be running down the stairs as a serial killer.
So he comes back. And he's hunting in Walmart in the animals. And he comes there and cuts somebody's head up.
Then he just bounces his out after. And then On the computers at Walmart, it says kill like the game.
Then he hides on the shelf with the animals and he comes for her
Should make a movie of it.
A movie😊
Given that Clock Tower 3 is one of my favourite survival horror games of all time and brings me HUGE nostalgia when thinking or hearing about it to when I was in high school, I don't appreciate the way you nitpicked it to death. The gameplay is still tense and engaging and the over-the-top performances really add a sort of charm to the whole thing. The super cheap final boss can go die in a fire, though! 🤣
Therein lies the trouble with compressing what I'd love to be an hour review into about ten seconds! It had many fine points and the action could be tense, but overall I found it underwhelming and not scary in the least bit. But I hear where you are coming from, sorry to put a downer on your experience - there's lots of feel good vibes in my other videos if you want to check them out 😁
6:52 Bro you talkin' shet on Barry?!
I remember discovering the first one via emulation back on early mid 00's and being totally struck by how good and scary it was
Haha you are describing my childhood - so many games (re)discovered in the 00’s thanks to all the amazing emulator software floating about!
Haunting Ground was not made from a Clock Tower 4 beta. It was made from a Resident Evil 4 beta like Devil May Cry.
No problem
Hifumi kono
i just hope they dont water down the fear factor, this isnt everyones opinion but with clock tower 3 i just feel that the bosses got less and less scarier as the game continues, not because i got used to the game but because the enemies were just not scary, my brief description of the bosses are summed up as
sledge hammer was slow but pretty scary, corroder was kinda creepy in a way, chopper/axe guy looked like an anorexic kratos cosplayer and as for scissor man and woman? now dont get me wrong, i liked scissor man but with a name like ralph of all things? and the dicount harley quin who soulds like nails on a chalk board? they were about as intimidating as theodor from alvin and the chipmunks and only slightly less annoying
Oh hell yeah I think everybody agrees with you, the later games were such watered down tributes they barely compared. They played out like movie sequels, the odd sleeper hit mixed in but mostly everybody is just waiting for a competent reboot I think.
Remake games love cock tower should make a show and movies
honestly i feel they are remaking clock tower 3 besides that one was the best to play
this is such a dilemma. since we shouldnt support LRG anymore but I really want this :\
Why do you not want to support them?
@@ECPhoenixman since they fired their employee publicly over nothing. And other disgraceful things
@@Erlisch1337 Well I didn't know anything about them other than they are making the clock tower port +.
I understand your passion, the LRG story is a divisive subject - but I don't believe boycotting solves anything, it only hurts people, including the gamers. Let Twitter be the warzone for politics, let games stay a place for community and escapism✌️
Ehh, I would boycott them because of how long they take to manufacture and send the products alone. But still, they didn't need to fire her because they didn't agree politically. That's unprofessional childish behavior.
