More obscure PS2 games (Volume 3)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ส.ค. 2024
- I'm back with more game reviews of treasures from the fathomless depths of the PS2 game library. In the entry we take a look at a little known oddity by Treasure, yet another Gundam game and the challenge of trying to beat it on PCSX2, the very first survival horror game on the console (I think?) that was also made by SWERY, and a journey through the skies in an underrated flying game. In regards to the Lalah curse mentioned in the video, I actually was able to beat the Elmeth segment while playing on PCSX2. But this was simply a one off and not a solution to actually fixing the issue. I suppose it at least proves that if you play the part a thousand times and the stars align you can indeed get past it.

I genuinely believe this and the psx eras were the best eras for games. Devs, gamers and creatives. People were just way more open to experiment and try new things. Plus, ya know, when you bought a game, its yours, no questions asked. The secondhand market was a godsend for younger me.
Edit: for context, yes the modern indie scene is great, and im glad it exists (much of my current library is indie titles). But i still miss having physical copies of those games.
6th gen and the 2000s in general gave me my favorite FPS games of all time. I miss those days.
Exactly my same sentiment. Also add that games came out complete and functioning (most of the time, there was the occasional stinker every now and then).
Nowadays mainly indie games continue to experiment and the like, when they're not like the nth overcooked or vampire survivor clone or what.
Sigh.
Indie games now tho..
Secondhand Word of Mouth just overall just talking to people about Nonsense Good Times 🤗
Indie is new ps2 devs. Rain on your parade is fun
DUDE THANK YOU FOR COVERING EXTERMINATION!!! I remember playing this game on one of those demo packs near release and never could remember the name of that game!!! It was to the point where I started to swear it was some fever dream I imagined or something. The infection system in this game was really weird and was part of what made this game live rent free in my head all these years later.
I owned a copy since I was a kid and I never beat the game but to this day it's a super unique game
Dude, never stop making these videos. Very informative and interesting.
Sky Odyssey looks so unique and cool. This series is really great, i really hope you keep covering more of these lesser known ps2 games
Oh man, I love sky odyssey! its like indiana jones in the sky! secret hidden map pieces, plane parts and upgrades, hidden airplanes to unlock, so much fun!
if you go into free flight, you'll discover every island is one big map thats broken down into seperate levels. there was an official website that isn't around anymore that had tons of beautiful concept art and ingame screenshots too. i hope one day it gets a remaster or port
I was fortunate to have bought Sky Odyssey when it launched and it became one of my favorite games. It felt classic and charming, even on launch day. Such a gem.
28:02 "Hey Peter, remember the time I was in a PS2 game?"
Extermination was a "bad PS2 game" fodder that I played on stream when I used to stream back in 2009 on Mogulus (now Livestream). It was pretty well known then due to it being in a "top 50 worst video game voice acting" youtube video which used the PAL lines I think. We used to play that video all the time and quote lines within our early streaming community. I bought up tons of PS2 games in Amazon marketplace for nothing back then like Michigan: Report from Hell. I played the PAL version and I remember the enemies being a slog to kill and I never beat the game, I spent around 2 hours on the final boss like hitting my head against a wall before just giving up. It's only now that watching this video 15 years later that I've found out about the Rocket Launcher.
I had Freak Out. I was about 12yrs old and only just got my PS2. Freak Out was the 4th game I owned my mum got for me on a sale (wonder why) and I had absolutely no idea what to do and thought 'what the hell even is this' of course playing it now in my 30's I have a good grasp of the game. But I would never class it as a game, maybe like a PS2 tech demo showing you graphics and how you can interact with the geometry
Lmao I just love knowing about obscure games, thanks TH-cam for the recommendation
YOOO MASHED Ps2 mentioned, Peak game from my childhood, amazing multiplayer.
It seems... Shoei has great taste, given his username. B)
I wish Mobile Suit Gundam The One War got a Western physical copy back then. Bandai Namco hasn't given us a game like this for a long time now. Hopefully, it and other older Gundam games get rereleased one day for both current consoles and pc.
Given that The Thing 6th gen game is getting remastered, maybe one day Extermination will get remastered too. Horror games like this are popular again thanks to recent RE games.
Cold Fear is also worth a play through. Shame it got overshadowed by RE4 back in 2005.
Great video man, that game stretch panic, looks awesome... I'll try it.
Keep up the good work, this videos are a lot of fun to watch.
Hope someone reports the Gundam crash to PCSX2
I beat that Gundam game in PCSX2 few months ago. First time I tried it's glitched right from title screen but switching to software mode it works. Back then my PC isn't powerful enough for software mode to run smoothly but now I can. Software mode may look ugly since you can't do any enhancement and stuck in original PS2 resolution but better than not playable at all. It's been a while so I don't remember if I did beat the whole game in software mode or new nightly build made the issue you mentioned go away since I never encountered any. I recommend trying software mode or if you're still using PCSX2 stable build try nightly build.
There are so many variables like this, that I thought it was silly to call the guy who said he solved the problem with a new BIOS a liar. Often we try multiple setting changes at the same time and incorrectly assume the one that fixed the problem. I once had a job as a bug finder on a piece of complicated software, and know how hard it can be to precisely identify what's going wrong, especially if you're not a skilled software coder with a debug tool.
Yeah makes more sense to change the renderer than changing bios lol
Played the PAL version of Extermination. Yes, it's a RE clone, but quite solid at it (except the... ending? was that an ending?), and dare I say had its scary moments, especially in the beginning. It definitely needs more recognition.
I'd say that Sky Odyssey actually has more of a Dreamcast vibe to it, though so do a lot of other early PS2 titles. There's just something so very charming about these sorts of games, which I love.
I have Sky Odysee and it's awesome, the only game i know that scratches my Pilotwings itch
Banger vid dude ; ) keep it up
Nice video, always good to know more about strange and unknown games 😊
I played stretch panic as a kid and could never remember the name. Thank you
Great video, lovely games
Nice channel buddy
With videos like these you've got your work cut out for you. From Kya: Dark Lineage (a personal favourite) to Alter Echo, from the Maximo games to Whirltour, there's a cubic buttload of obscure PS2 titles and then some.
Good luck and hope you'll have fun with it too!
The lala curse just might be an anti-piracy prevention thing.
MS Gundam One Year War seems very similar to Journey to Jaburo with some of its game play.
Gundam based
White Base-d
Goddamn I NEED to play sky odyssey. I love a good "old world adventure" themed game... reminds me of Crimson Skies but less bombastic. Also, the mission narrator sounds like a robot Garfield.
11:22 well... priorities
I remember playing a demo of Extermination as a kid. The actually scared the crap out of me and gave me nightmares. But looking back at it now I feel silly this scared me when I've played way scarier games like Resident Evil. Also, don't know if you've said it in the video or not but this game is an unofficial sequel to Deep Fear, a survival horror game that takes place in an underwater military base.
Respect
Cool videos. Was there any Macross games on the ps2 worth checking out?
Yes, Segas Macross game on PS2. Check cd romance for it
Love Sky odyssey, its pilot wings 64 on steroids.
I loved PS2 so much Janky Goodness 😅
grand prix looks like curcuit breakers for ps1
On the Gundam game have you tried preloading it with some code breaker or action replay cheats
I love these videos so much. Thanks for making these
Ive owned a copy of extermination since i was a kid and never knew it was obscure and i was never able to beat it 😭 i restarted the game so many times because my kid brain wanted to see if i can have a perfect start hoping that will help in making it further.
Used to see Extermination in our Blockbuster back in the day. I was too much of a wimp to get it. 😅
I remember when I fell in love with the ps2. I was gently rubbing the back carriage of my newly minted sleek black gaming machine when my index finger slipped into the Ethernet port. My mother had always warned me to stay away from such things less I become a freakazoid and yet it felt so natural. Me and the PS2 are happily married now, living a wholesome life away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It's true love. 🎎
I wonder if Chain Dive will be in here, I loved playing it
I saw EOE (Eve of Evolution) in the opening reel. I owned it and actually thought it was an okay game.
Did you try the Gundam game in the newest version? I guess it's the same as the nightly basically so it's probably not gonna work but maybe.
Does anyone know which two games those are from 0:24-0:34?
Maybe the user who said they beat One Year War was thinking of Perfect One Year War which was released on the PS1?
could it possible that the bios you used for the gundam game are not compatible for pcsx2 version of the game, are there other bios of ps2 you can try downloading? the pcsx2 forums of course say the stupid shit of "oh we don't support piracy " like anyone in their right mind is gonna buy some old hardware to get it's bios
Could you enable a one hit kill cheat on the Gundam game and beat the fight before it freezes?
Please include Dual Hearts for PS2 in your next video. It's an excellent overlooked game because of Kingdom Hearts
sky odyssey voice sounds like old garfield lol
You just didn't f around with enough bios my friend
We literally tried ALL of them.
Ok with Extermination why in a million years would the publishers pay for two separate English dubs for the same game. 🤣
(Awkward pause)
Damm bro you are site for sore eyes
Idk why, but you seem quite tired in this video
