I have no idea why this game sticks out so much in my memory from the ps2 days, pretty sure I never beat it as a kid and it doesnt really have anything all that great about it, but it never ceases to amaze me when I see another video about a random game from that era - that even in those days was barely ever spoken of. Always love the nostalgia trip
Edit: the ending retrospection on the jank but how everything ultimately ties together to make something memoriable pretty much answers why this sticks out
Same for me. There were a LOT of video game magazine ads for Seven Samurai 20XX back in the day, so maybe thats why. Like even two years after the game came out there would just be a random full page ad for it at the back of like GameInformer or GMR.
Dude there's an anime adaptaion of Seven Samurai, and it's also a diesel punk style too, and both of them came out in 2004. Makes sense that they were celebrating its 50th anniversary of the 1954 classic film, and now its turning 70 yrs old.
Cvit is the only guy having me install more PS2 games on my PC. Geez, man, I have a family.
-PS2 hack ‘n slash
-Based on Seven Samurai
-Moebius designed the characters
-Grungy cyberpunk aesthetic
Cvit, how do you always manage to find the cool games I didn’t know exist but have to try minutes after learning about them?
I knew you'd get to this one eventually.
I forgot that the movie is turning 70 this year.
I remember this game I had it and played it. I knew exactly what I was getting when I got it. It was nearing the end of 360/ps3 era. I remember thinking the game was cool especially since I was familiar with the concept. Played the game beginning to end; idk how long it took but I remember thinking man this is cool but playing it is kinda boring. Game holds a special place for me for some reason.
I would like to visit the Digimon Rumble Arena dimension honestly.
I first saw this game on G4's Cinematech and wanting to play it immediately. This was me still fresh off of my love for PS2 Shinobi and having a protagonist with a scarf wielding two katanas was an instant hook for me.
Sadly though, I never got around to asking for it for my bday or Xmas. Just slipped my mind, I guess :U
I love the obscure stuff you spotlight. Thanks for continuing to put time & energy into these.
I will probably never play this game, but I am so glad it exists. This is the kind of insanity that makes me love games. Thanks for covering it so I could find out about it 👍🏽
Damn, I actually miss character design like this... nowadays if it's japanese game it's 90% school uniform even in fantasy...
this reminds me of the samurai jack game from ps2, i freaking loved the combat and open level design and the weird mechanics it had. Really made you part of a classic samurai jack episode
diesel punk is the perfect wayto destribe the aesthetic of this game im stealing that. there are pipelines and engines and valves everywhere everything is so rusty and grey and futuristic in a dystopian way . visuals in the background remind . the characters design is a punk metal anime power ranger samurais and villains are straight out of gotham city. this crazy and fascinating blend of aestheitcs and themes can only be created by real artists from that era. call it nostalgia all you want but those artist were the byproduct of that era.
Damn, I remember this game. I rented it for a weekend and I'm pretty sure I ended up taking it back the next day because it was just absolutely miserable to play through.
Dude, I was just on your page looking at your Dororo video again, because the 2019 reboot cartoon gave me a clip from it involving a spider-woman. Then this video shows up. Cyberpunk, Diesel Punk, Bio Punk, all of these are so cool. Bio Punk definitely needs to be explored more in my opinion. Too much body horror potential and great stories to not do so.
Seven samurai mentiooned❤ never would’ve expected it on this channel lol
Crazy how this sci-fi take on seven samurai is so immediately captivating and interesting where Zack Snyder's sci-fi seven samurai took two movies to be mid
Suddenly the recent Magnificent Seven remake isn't that strange. Especially since that's basically the American version of Seven Samurai.
I love this series man. Can’t wait to see what other obscure action games you come across.
Great video and sounds like a trip of a game, but I will admit that when I saw the title of the video, I thought that it was a PS2 game based on the anime Samurai 7.
Great content! Thanks for showing the full list of games you’ve covered now i can check on those vids too.
This looks really cool! Didn't know Sammy made games, let alone games this rad!
I feel like this game would make/is a great companion piece for Samurai 7.
I recall being annoyed at this game when looking up info about it in the 00's because it's called "Seven Samurai", but doesn't have seven samurai as playable characters.
What an incredible game, will look further into it.
when this game came out, GiantBomb did not exist. rather, it was GameSpot that covered this game and reviewed it. Ryan Davis, who later joined GiantBomb with other ex-gamespot members such as Jeff Gerstmann (the founder of GB and before that, ArrowPointingDown), reviewed this game, which is what you might be thinking of.
GB was founded in I think 2008.
Any way, another great video
The video is from their game tapes series where’re they watched old vhs tapes they got from e3 in the early 2000s. These videos were from 2016
Hell yeah. Great vid man.
The aesthetic of this game is sooo coooool
5:57
i hate that as well… so much so that i bought a dualsense edge and moved the crouch and lock buttons to the additional buttons. Makes elden ring much better to play, without crouching every time things get heated.
final boss also looks like second boss battle against Anubis in ZOE 2nd Encounter
I would love to see you go back to the yugioh seasons stuff! Its been so long!
Let’s goo another upload!!!
Crazy how is was just watching kagemusha with my brother, another one of kurosawa's films.
You should definitely play kamen rider kabuto next . It's one of the most fun battle arena fighters I've ever played in my opinion, alongside urban Reign
Are you gonna make a video about Castlevania Lament of Innocence or Curse of Darkness eventually? I'd love to see them covered.
Eventually yes
@@Cvit Nice, you're prob my favorite channel right now great content.
the aesthetics of this game are so peak but it looks like it is not in fact hidden gem kino
I know your focus is the ps2, but a game i really want to see you talk about is the Hokuto no Ken for the ps1
Honestly surprised this isn't a tie in to Samurai 7, they came at around the same time IIRC.
@10:48 I'm so glad someone has finally given those "strange incomplete" sentence phrases a name. It almost seems to be a problem in alot of asian based fantasy media. I see it in the form of " oh you'll come to know about 'that' soon" in soooo many Manhwa, Manhua, and Manga that its frustrating.
FF does it, kingdom hearts does it, so many other JRPGs also do it. Usually when they don't want to tell the viewer about some story element but they want to let the reader know this element exists and will be revealed soon.
11:06 "Soon"
3:25 you'll be happy to know that those bots are (almost) all gone in PSO2
Nah keep that shit. It’s soulful. Part of the experience
Graphics and art style are great, the early 2000 nostalgia 😙👌 but the gameplay is aight
My favorite Seven Samurai adaptation is Crossbone Gundam Steel Seven
Yakuza 3 retrospective?! Let's goo!!
side note but Samurai 7 goes so hard
I'm sorry, MOEBIUS worked on this? RIP to a genius.
I haven't watched Civvie in a while, but that skinwalker syndrome REALLY kills the vibe of some of these games from the PS1-PS2 era. It's even worse with companies like Working Designs who are outright going out of their way to make changes to the script because they don't like it. So not only are they skinwalkers in terms of performance overall, but the dialogue doesn't make any sense anymore.
Dude, why dont you continue the yugioh videos? They're entertaining as hell. Please make them. 🙏🏽
2:56 to any viewers please turn on captions 😂
I remember this one. It was really weird and I was surprised that it even got a western release. Blood Will Tell is a much better game although they both have similar issues coincidentally.
Yooo this game is nuts
I love your videos. Can’t wait for Yakuza 3 Retrospective(if it’s coming 🙏)
I'd love a remake
Me too, I honestly think this Sword of Etheria and Chaos Legion could benefit massively from being remade from the ground up
And maybe Phantom Dust too
If I had a large amount of disposable income, i would like to have a company that'd complete or fix up high potential games like this.
Gonna try it!
Great watch!
Well I hope you do the animes too
CVIT MAKE A NEW "EVRTHING WRONG WITH YU GI OH" AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
Let's go I'm sure this will be another banger
6:21 You can thank the piss-shit-ass-x-two team for that, the only progress they've made in well over a decade is moving to a new frontend which was totally, absolutely, 100% necessary, trust me dude.
I remember this. I was super into it but I heard the gameplay really sucked. There was also an anime. I think the anime and game worked with the same basic premise but deviated quite a bit. The anime was interesting. Not super duper awesome, but it was alright.
dope
Thanks for the vid
Cool just fresh off press of way of samurai series
We getting a new yugioh Gx review season?
Urban reign next?
Getting Final Fantasy X vibes here
I'm honestly nothing short of shocked this game is actually pretty reasonably priced for physical copies. Most games of this ilk go for fuckin mortgage payment amounts of money and it's fucking atrocious but not this one by some unholy miracle.
Seven samurai vs samurai 7, who wins?
We Want
We Need
Season 3
It’s so weird seeing games with such inspiration and passion when it comes to the art and world design also simultaneously having super dog shit gameplay that completely lets it down. The PS2 is an absolute enigma of a console when it comes to its game library.
This isnt Yakuza 3. Thats ok ill watch anyways you make great content.
Yoooo, this is sick
i want my way of the samurai series video
"On the 360 in middle school..." Man, you don't have to go and tell me I'm old, without calling me old... It's bad enough I can remember Northern Ukraine before in was irradiated...
An interesting point of interest though. This game had a horrendous development, with constant team turnover, corporate modeling, and the funding being a fraction of what was agreed on. In the end, the game as published, is a beta that was not much more fleshed-out than a glorified tech demo and press kit.
Ff 7 kurosawa let’s go
YUGIOHHHH
He's clearly not making anymore. Let it go or move on.
@@MaximumPayinebro it was so good i just cant. I go to rewatch the series once a year
Lol, samurai people
Why do they use Swords lol or classic
Do raido kuzunoha plz
Yugioh GX Season 3
yoooooooooooooooo
I played this in chinese.
Ohhhhhh boy I've never heard that particular brand of petty in your voice
"Which it certainly isn't going to"
So this game is like a mash
We need everything wrong with yugioh again
The game had excellent art design and setting, but the art design still looks good. But the gameplay is disappointing, something on the level of one-button moussou. It was fashionable to make a great slasher film. Why doesn't anyone take projects like this and make a remake of them?
make something about yu gi oh again
I get ur mental health is important but I’m still praying for eww yugioh
