Eurogamer - "The Making of Alien Resurrection PSOne"

#FreeCivvie #Alien #Halloween - เกม
The best and only good part about Alien Resurrection is the no-look behind-the-back half-court baskeball shot Ripley makes in that one scene. Because Sigourney Weaver actually made the shot in that take. The camera cuts super quickly after that so you don't hear Ron Pearlman's "holy shit!"
True story.
That and the heavy lesbian undertones.
After many, many, many, MANY takes. lol
neato
I also like the part with failed Ripley clones. Slightly spoiled by her killing the one still alive the most painful way she could.
I recall hearing that was the first and only take they did for that scene? Maybe don't quote me on that.

There's something bone-chilling about the sentence "I admire its purity" even in this comedic context
I prefer "You still don't know what you're dealing with, do you? It's technical perfection is only matched by it's hostility" that precedes that line.
Gives me chills.
These are all lines from the first movie when the crew breaks Ash and are interrogating him.
I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.

On a technical level. This is a masterpiece of a ps1 game

That Duelshock analogue controls critique is hilarious. The first time I experienced that FPS control layout on a console. All I could think was _"So they finally managed to simulate keyboard and mouse controls with a gamepad"._
I always wondered what the journalist thought of Halo controls. I always imagined them being "omg this control scheme is amazing, why didnt we have a setup like this years ago" because reasons.
To be fair many N64 fps games had it where you could set the controls to use the thumb stick to look and the c buttons for movement (sometimes the D pad aswell)
Turok for March of 97 was one of the earliest.
Yeah it's backwards to today's standards (at takes a bit to get used too) but the console came out in 96.
Or even the step further and the option use two controls at once for dual analog.
They just weren't the default controls, and a lot of people just stick with a game's default control option.
Where the PS1 only had the D pad at first, releasing the dual shock later on in August - Nov of 97 (Depending on region)
Forcing developers to rerelease games with the dual shock controls patched in, such as the Resident Evil games.
Some people seem to forget that fact when they complain about the N64 controler.
The first time around for me it was like, "this is a really cool idea but it feels like I'm trying to write with my left hand. I'll stick to keyboard and mouse for now but maybe I'll get used to it with practice."
25 years later... no. I haven't. It still feels super off to me, but I'm not gonna pretend it's not a fantastic idea that made the whole genre accessible to far more people.
Games Journalists haven't changed one bit.
Finally? I was used to play shooters with keyboard only on pc at the time when I played Medal Of Honor as the first gane with 2 analogue sticks. FPS like Doom or Duke3D didn't need a mouse.
Despite how unfair this looks, it still seems to be a really well made game presentation wise. Super technically impressive for a ps1 game and the details and sound design also are awesome.
Another good example of how a game being impressive doesn't make it good, though that's more of an issue with rom-hacks than base games most of the time in my experience.
@@HaraDayaful i believe it has something to do with framerate or emulation. I played on ePSXe and enemies were just as on PS1. Also i believe, that playing on 60 or higher FPS makes game way harder.
@@theBaka9 I've tried limiting FPS and downclocking and I couldn't get the enemies to act like on the PS1. One thing I also noted when emulating with ePSXe was that medkits weren't being used automatically like they're supposed to on easy and normal difficulty. In the end I had more success using one of RetroArch's emulators. Even bought a retail copy of the game so I could compare with a real PS1.
@@HaraDayaful also there is a gamebreaking bug with audio that may be present on PS3 and emulator playthrough.
@@HaraDayaful That's strange. ePSXe has been stable and relatively reliable for a while now. Maybe Resurrection is a special case? I'm guessing these issues are not documented anywhere, which is a pain in the ass. Do you remember which Retroarch core you used with the game? I'm guessing you played the north american version of the game too?
The heartbeat monitor death without the multiple beeps like in Half-Life is more unsettling than the rest of the game.

You know, back when Doom 3 was new, I always thought it would be amazing if some bat-shit insane modder remade all of Alien: Resurrection using Doom 3 engine. It seems like it would be perfect for this game

Hey! good to see Icarus around here.
I understand; on the megadrive (genesis for you americans) I had a game called "Sub Terrania". Remember it being hard (still beat it about 3 times) and decided in a rash fit of nostalgia to play it again a few years ago. It's a good game (and one of Jesper Kyd's early works, so a great soundtrack) but dear god it does not tolerate mistakes. I have no idea how I got through. Hell, I find the original Super Mario Brothers hard and I made that my bitch when I was 5 or 6.
Oh hey Icarus!
You must transcended normal human thought, all unnecessary brain functions, like memory and fear, are put on cold stasis to totally focus on the task. You don't even see the xenomorphs any more you just see the code. You react then you realise you reacted.
@Zoomer Waffen Liking something doesn't make someone a shill. Defending something from honest, fair criticism, throwing a fit over people disliking it, and being payed to do so is what makes a shill.
Aliens Colonial Marines is outclassed by a game 13 years older than itself.
Devs of this actually cared and tried. Randy Pitchford and Gearbox? Nope.
And on inferior hardware
@@Gruntvc we don't talk about that *greasy fuck* in here.
Well, i lied, we all do but still fuck that guy
Because it's made by actual human beings with respect towards the license, not by some lying greasy pig & his lackeys.
Yet it only recently started to get attention while Colonial Marines is widely more remembered years after it's wave of "reviews" ended. We really need to "rework" what games get our attention and which ones don't, because this game is miles better than CM, yet I didn't even know it exists until around a month ago because of this video.
How many good, original games are out there that never got the attention that is deserved from the amount of passion put into them, and continue to go unnoticed by the public? The internet is helping massively with this, but there's still definitely games out there that still don't get much if any attention. The thought is very depressing.
Just a BTW for anyone passing through... There's a misconception about the flamethrower in this video and many others.
The flamethrower does not, and is not meant, to be used against adult aliens and marines. It's good for dispatching eggs and facehuggers very quickly. On those levels it is favorable to aim at the base of the egg and fire your flamethrower to burst the egg. If the hugger still manages to get out, it should get blasted in the stream of fire when it lands.
Also, use the pistol on huggers, and always double tap them. Sometimes they will play dead just to trick you.
Another thing Civvie got wrong is the shotgun. It is a double barrel and it fires 2 shells per trigger pull (you can see muzzle flashes coming from both barrels), meaning it actually holds 8 shells and fires 2 at a time, but the ammo counter simplifies it for convenience.
Also, headshots is everything. you can kill 2 aliens using a quarter of a laser clip with proper headshots and trigger finger discipline, you don't need to burn a full clip to do it.
Found the person who is up for pain.
my dad played this a lot when I was a very young child. Bout maybe 5 years old. I was so terrified of these damn aliens when I was a kid.. Growing up watching him play. I fell in love with the game naturally and had to come back to it when I was older to beat it my self lol. Love this game.
@@lkotro21 I mean, it is a tough as shit game, but there is a strategy to it.
I mag dumped huggers until they jibbed.

@@andreivaldez2929 calling someone "Mexican" is racist; please be careful 👌
They tried to literally make a PS2 game in a PS1. Everything about it is technically impressive.
Just one or two more rounds of polishment and testing, and it could have been a masterpiece. It's amazing how it takes so little to destroy a game.
hey SGT could you update brutal doom 64 and vietdoom :)
It's funny because most people nowadays would be looking at this game and thinking it looks terrible. I'm looking at this game as a boomer who was around during the PS1 generation and I'm like: "THIS IS AMAZING"
I remember an episode of Extra Credits talked about the importance of getting outside help. Getting opinions outside of your own bubble. It's way too easy to fall into the trap of believing all your ideas to be good ones. One example was a game one of their writers had tested and the first thing they always do is hit every button, in this case a keyboard. There was no inventory button. After trying various obvious combinations they went to the developer and asked. It was something like holding I and quadruple clicking. Absolutely bonkers, but they'd set it up like that for themselves and got so used to it they didn't even think about it any more.
That sounds like what happened with this game. They were so busy making a game for themselves they stopped thinking about the fact it had to be played by actual humans.

Game does look amazing for being on PS1.
Right? I'd never seen it before except in screenshots and this looks better than some of the early PS2 games that were still trying to scrape by with super janky character models.
it seems to be doing a lot of black magic... are those multiple dynamic light sources in PS1?
PS1 was pretty good. Been playing Syphon Filter 2. Lots of stuff going on.
@@Ubersuntzu like a lot of games that came later in the console life, they really knew how to push it to the max. also they knew how to utilize shorter render distances perfectly. really makes the whole thing feel claustrophobic exactly like an alien film...unlike the shit of colonial marines...
@@Cryssball black magic indeed, the most graphic impressive games used darkness to hide ultra-low detail or not render the darkest parts at all. Dynamic lights - nope, just another clever hat trick.
This game has an amazing atmosphere.
The part with 15 aliens did give me "Colonial Marines" flashbacks, though.
But I guess it's not a true Alien(s) game if you don't suffer.
Honestly it looks *really* fucking cool on the surface, and to a point I love the idea of the every xenomorph being dangerous as fuck, but it looks like it could really use some tweaking for gameplay balance, particularly the weapons and movement speed.
Like the game was doing pretty well for most of development but at the finish line they fucked it up by cranking up the difficulty too much.

@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 that was the correct answer

16:00, that xenomorph pulled the old Butler Winston trick by phasing through the door. Speaking of which, seeing that old man phasing through the door in Tomb Raider 3 was one of the scariest moments in video games when I was about 8 or 9. That, and the shockingly loud stinger in India when a boulder starts chasing you.
Goddamn, this is one of the most technically-impressive PS1 games I've seen.

I know Civvie & others here have mentioned it before, but I can not stress enough how *_impressive_* the graphics of this game were at the time and even still are considering the platform.
Of the top of my head it's difficult to remember a title that looked _this_ good and had 3D-models.
Regarding the bugs, some ePSXe emulation-options may be the cause. _May_ be.
It's not as hard to find your preferred options that work for a specific title on ePSXe as it is on PCSX2, but it's still possible set yourself up for bugs and straight up failed emulations.
Alone in the Dark 4 comes to mind, the graphics were also super impressive. Instead of having pre-rendered backgrounds like R-E it was fully 3d rendered which made you feel IN the game instead of on top of it.
Quake 2... Still holds up on PS1 today
Man, I remember digging Alien Trilogy so much, me, my bro and sis would play constantly..i rushed out to try Resurrection when it was released hoping for more of the same and... Oh.. Oh god.
On earth people can hear you scream
That first “raw” got me🤣
This game scarred me. I felt like I was the only one who knew it existed at the time. I could only finish it with a cheat, and I have no regrets about that. The sound design was AMAZING, though...like Isolation ten years eariler
Just hearing one of these bastards running behind me was enough for me to start panic shooting as I whirled to face it.
The bloody Newborn put the fear of god in my younger self- to hell with that abomination!

Technical side: it's a masterpiece that really took advantage of the limited hardware of the time and was forward thinking with the movement and aiming controls.

1:49 - "You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Its technical perfection is matched only its hostility. I admire its purity. A survival horror shooter unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."
I would unironically love to see a balance hack for this game.
I agree . Either its more action packed that its getting much fun or much better balanced and tweakef that the survival horror aspect can shine much better.
@@Snyperwolf91 it would probably be better if it elaborated on the survival horror aspect, its a shame to let atmosphere like that go to waste
@@notfreeman6809 I agree on both sides . A great action packed aliens game that plays more akin to quake is a nice addition but it could take the horror elements away that is known for aliens . I can see and understand your point absolutly .
On the other side i would love to see that the horror comes much better out without those big issues in this game with a rather much improved Gameplay because i think we still dont have enough great horror games today that could potentially be standing aside with Alien isolation or maybe be much better it .

Fun Fact: The reason this game controls like ass is the fact it was a tomb raider control scheme left over from that build with the camera and a hacked FP weapon model on top of that movement systems model. It would be like putting a FP camera view on the old tomb raider games

"Its technical perfection is matched only by its hostility." Reminds me of Far Cry 2.
???
@@s2korpionic Far Cry 2 is a game that hates the player and makes this known through both dialogue and gameplay - my favorite is a line spoken when accepting a mission from someone, "Ah, perfect. I need a no-name scumbag like you."
Far Cry 2 has one of the most tedious open worlds ever implemented into a fucking game.
That game got me used to driving while looking down.
Nah. Far Cry 2 had a buddy extra-life system, a very generous medi-syrette system, health regenerating to the nearest fifth, the battle surgery system if you were on the last fifth of your health, enemies being terrified of your reputation towards the end of the game, and plenty of ammo, including an infinite ammo machinegun on most jeeps (but not the capital J Jeeps - that was some weird brand advertising ("Oh, hey, guys, you know what our automobile company needs? And endorsement of African tribalism and the blood diamond trade!")).
Far Cry 2 was hostile - but not towards the player. Not until the ending, at least.
Dude I played so much of this game as a kid
It scared the hell out of me
Got critically panned, but I was such a fan of the franchise that it didn't matter I picked it up anyway. Only now do I realize it actually pioneered the dual stick shooting that every console 1st person shooter uses today.
Of course at the time that was every critic's problem with it
@Channel Zero I can't even remember what shooters were like before dual analog controls
Save for the wonky aiming system on those N64 shooters
@Channel Zero I can't imagine going back to that controller at all lol.

I like perfect dark remastered on Xbox though. The game is still loads of fun. Sad they cancelled that Goldeneye remaster. :(

I just made it to the first tram that you took to the next section of the map, I took so long admiring the retro-futuristic aesthetics of the game that the Alien spawned outside the tram, I insta-panicked and the fucker killed me in one hit. And this was *before* you were supposed to encounter the alien for the first time in a cinematic cutscene. I didn't even know that could happen! Still got the Trophy though.
My favorite thing about the song 'Havana Smooth' is that Civvie's first time hearing it in that Shareware copy he had back in the day as a kid was exactly the same experience as mine.
That slow and smooth bass opens, speeds up, and the next thing you hear is "EAT LEAD" for the first time ever in the entire demo.
Then of course its overplayed for laughs in Extreme ROTT so, yeah. Glad I never played Extreme ROTT so thanks for what you do Civvie. Way to slug it out through this too. ☺️👍
12:05 "Things are getting spookier and no amount of shotguns is making it any better"
The motion detector and the facehugger during the intro are genius touches, Civvie
3:44 You know the best part? That was apparently the first of two Colonial Marines projects, it got canceled a year or two later. Sega, when they decided it'd be a good idea to buy the license, thought CM was a good enough concept to invest in (along with an RPG deved by Obsidian).
I played and finished this game when it came out when I was a teenager, So proud to know I was not the only one that thought it was too hard.
I had this when I was around eight years old. The sound of facehuggers man... that noise of many tiny little legs scratching away at the floor, heading straight towards you... the source of so much fear and frustration.
I wont lie. I cheated to get through this game. It might sound cheap, but- but people who never played this game, they just don't understand...!
You *have* to!
The timelimit when they get you...! It- It's-
It just won't work otherwise!
And the thumbsticks...!
When you're eight years old...!
There is no other way!
It's the only way to survive.
You simply won't survive.
You never survive...
it won't let you
it won't
Doesn't look "hard" per se, it looks like a simple memory game.
Remember triggers and spawns = game gets easy af.
I personally prefer more dynamic spawning like in AVP or deadspace, where you're supposed to scrap it out and make it on top the first time if you're playing well.
Oh, if it only was that easy...
19 years ago, I would have strongly disagreed.
Today, I still fairly strongly disagree.
If you were to play this on a classic playstation with the classic dual-shock controller, one of the first things you'll realize is that, if you nudge the thumbstick over the motion treshold - you will find that the point of view moves *by a set amount*.
Yes, you can memorize where everyhing spawns. Perhaps even start to recognize the set motion patterns. I personally remember getting fairly goot at killing aliens with the pistol after a few months.
What you however must keep in mind is; there were almost no other games like this on the playstation at the time. And I was eight years old.
@@d3punkt5 It sounds like you and this game had a very abusive relationship.
*laughs in D-pad*
04:57 That subtle John Carmack reference. Oh I see what you did there...
Not gonna lie... The xenomorph AI is kinda rocking and kicking ass in this one! Not getting stuck and leaping over to deal more damage... duuuuude!
That brief bit where a game journalist complained about analog stick really proves that even back then game journalists were idiots.
It is weird to think even early ps2 games didn't fully embrace that type of control scheme right away. I still remember a game called "Fur Fighters" where it still had the face buttons do the aiming!
Though today they would probably say that analog sticks are patriarchal, phallic, and resemble women's nipples - for the male fantasy.
Writer: Someone who has a literary gift.
Journalist: A whiny college graduate who makes drama and ruins lifes.
This is why I hate pure review TH-cam gaming channels. They approach it from a one-dimensional point of view and if they hate or don't understand the topic, expect no mercy to those cherished memories.
Civvie 11? Not that at all straight to the point, funny, realistic, and genuinely has experienced and knows what he is talking about. I have jumped from one channel to another about going over old/recent games and either they butcher something from my childhood or are unapologetic Nintendo fanboys and fangirls and refuse there is anything wrong with a Nintendo game, especially Mario ones. Still think that the Switch feels like a DS fused with a Wii and it does little to help advance the gaming industry as Nintendo has a weird philosophy to intentionally downgrade and limit hardware.... How did that work for Sword & Shield?
@@plasmaoctopus1728 the only PS2 games that could actually JUSTIFY not using the right stick for camera control/aiming (or at least giving it as an option if they had some other jank method of controlling aim or camera) were JRPGs and games with fixed cameras. And, uh, even then, the only reason they could get away with it was because 3rd person JRPGs tend to have the camera do a good job facing where you want it, and you can't exactly control the camera of a game with Pre-rendered backgrounds like Devil May Cry 1.
Actually, even a lot of JRPGs let you move the camera around with the right stick. The only one on the PS2 I've played where you couldn't use the right stick for standard camera control was SMT3: Nocturne, but at least there the right stick still allowed you to look around the area.
It's honestly surprising how fast gaming took to the "right stick is camera stick" concept. A lot of times, when controls are Jank in a game, everyone agrees, but I feel like Alien: Ressurection is just a case of the journalists going "They changed it so now it sucks."
I still remember when Walker came out on the Amiga and everyone was baffled at the idea of controlling the vehicle using the keyboard and mouse at the same time.
Dark, grimy, damp corridors?
Does this whole game count as a sewer level?
I mean there's enough shit throughout.
I see that predictive algorithm John Carmack...
Man you have the most amazing editing skills ever! That “looks like love at first...” slurp....I cried.
Thats actually looks god damn impressive for a PS1 game
The Necronomicon is of no use unless read. It's inevitable
I use it to make me look taller when I sit down.
I use it to steady my coffee table.
I use it to make a nasty Nasi Padang recipe. Amps the umami to 11 but burns yer tongue
I use it to cool off my hot pockets.
Blasphemers each and every one of you
Predator: Concrete Jungle when, Civvie?! (yeah, yeah, console, whatever)
Pretty sure he's already done it
Awesome game lol
Good Lord yes
23:44
LOL. Your line delivery and clip selection here had me cracking up
For the record, this game developed the standard console FPS control scheme everyone uses today.
Laughs in Medal of Honor
@@randomguy6679 OOF
There were other games which had similar schemes as alternate options as well, I think. There was a Goldeneye control scheme where you used the D-pad or C-buttons to move and strafe, and the stick to aim. Kind of like a lefty version of the same scheme. It was called "Solitaire"
@@crazyeyes8962 There's also Turok with a C-pad for view and stick to move
Wasnt that introduced by Quake back in 1996? Or maybe even Doom.
Have you recorded your voice line for Postal 4, yet?
And no, it’s not a spoiler, the credits for the alpha have him in there, and Mike J tells everyone that he’s going to have a voice cameo at some point, every time he streams Postal 4, which he does every god damn day.
DUDE SPOILERS!!!

They literally can’t, he has a job.
Amazingly, it's still a better Alien game then Colonial Marines.
To be fair, Sonic the Hedghog is a better Alien game than Colonial Marines.
Anythings better than Colonial Marines
The only good thing about CM is the Power Loader statue I got from the Collectors edition.
It’s not that it’s bad. It’s actually pretty good, but it’s so gruelingly difficult people say it’s bad.
Man, I've just found your channel, searching for Thief gameplay. Alien: Resurrection give me so much nostalgia. I played this alot, like when I first played I could barely pass the first level because those aliens scared the shit out of me, I wasted all my ammo blasting them.
Good channel, man.
At first i thought this was about Alien Trilogy, and then I read "resurrection" and got goosebumps
Holy shit that Rise of the Tirad music was bangin, I finally get what you meant when you said it was the best MIDI soundtrack in that one Pro Nukem episode.
Also good to see the XI on the inside of the door got changed to match the outside of the door.
What's the name of the song from Rise of the Triad?
@@angeredtsuzuki Looking it up, it's Havana Smooth.
Also worth checking out the soundtrack to KGB by Stephane Picq. Amazing "Adlib Techno".
Also, check out YOU SUCK. Best takeaways from the respective maps it's used in Doom wads, e.g. Scythe and Hell Revealed off the top of my head
@@Intestine_Ballin-ism Yeah, people still occasionally throw in a ROTT .midi in their .wads even to this day, the music is just *really* good and versatile.
Thanks for making this video. It was so nostalgic.
First video I have watched from your channel, Civvie
Hey Civvie! Would be cool to see you play The Thing, another movie adaptation/tie in...Yours truly
*DING!* Fuse Box Count.
@@Kousaburo rip spoony
@@marcellofunhouse1234 Yeah, geez.
"...depressing as a pediatric burn ward."
Damn dude.
You ever actually been in a burn ward? The stench is fucking horrifying.
This channel has great editing , well written and funny. its only a matter of time til this channel blows up
9:25 - we're going need a motion tracker immediately!
Remember the lesbian subtext between Weaver & Ryder? Remember that scene where the captain of the Betty is giving his first mate a foot massage and she's in a thong? God bless the French.
Coypop isn’t alien supposed to be sexual anyway
@@mcbrodz1663 Yes it is - it was subtext, though. lol Not saying I don't appreciate the guy who voiced the Prophet of Truth in Halo 2 giving a foot massage to some chick in a thong. I actually love Resurrection.
Now look, I've given a million ladies a million foot massages, and they all meant something. We act like they don't, but they do, and that's what's so fucking cool about them.
god why does joss whedon have to put his fetishes into everything
@@fatsquirrel75 I never really understood that line. I mean, I get the point - foot massages are badass - but like, have you ever given or gotten a foot massage from someone you weren't dtf?
Review "Predator: Concrete Jungle" in the future, ya crazy bastard.
i 2nd this lol
Really appreciate you staying on that face hugger scene so long while I was eating.
Sir, you've got yourself a new sub. Love this video.
Ramsey coming out of the alien was pure gold hahaha
Civvie is like the Mystery science theater of video games and I love it.
This video has wonderful editing, great job!
3:00 someone watched my video :D
Ayyy nice to see you Guru
Hello you!
The man who mysteriously shows up in every comment section eventually, are you some kinda anomaly Larry?
Hello you
I *stopped* watching your videos (unsubscribed) because they aren't that good 👌
That's the best Alien movement I've seen in a game, ever! Dang!
Yeah, it's fluid as hell.
Thank you, we spent ages working on that aspect
@@MartinPiper6502 whoah, you worked on this game? I want to thank you personally for it, I have the fondest and scariest memories from this game, it basically started my love for the franchise, amazing work!!
@@tomo2807 thank you :) It took years of our lives. Many late nights.
@@MartinPiper6502 i still play it to this day, on an emulator as unfortunately dont own a ps1 anymore.
Requesting Alien: Trilogy (DOS/PS1)
22:13 So it turns out Nutra-Loaf is actually a real prison food. And it's apparently so bad that people debate whether it counts as cruel and unusual punishment or not. Holy shit.
It's basically meatloaf with the rest of the meal blended and baked in, including the fruit cup. Also made entirely of prison food.
It's generally supposed to be given to violent prisoners who aren't trusted to have utensils, but I've heard of other cases.
17:55 The Exorcist 3, Im loving your movie references you have really good taste.
GREAT coverage of a game I had never heard of before. I literally grew up on thealiens franchise and I would have bought this game based on the title alone. Already have it loaded up on my gaming PC to play through emulator!
I wanted to ask how that play through went lol
@@omnibune3828 it went exactly like how you would think it would. That's why he didnt follow up lmao
I've always been curious about this game, hearing it was a fairly innovative Argonaut game.
I almost feel like maybe you tripped some sort of weird earthbound or Serious Sam 3 style DRM making the game that unplayable, but at the same time, I can buy it being that cruel.
You know, I wouldn't have even thought about that, but yeah, I could see that happening. lol
It's not impossible but yeah it is as hard as shown
i was going to mention that, i feel like this would be the type of game to implement something like that.
@@chrisrichfield8906 i think it's because he's using an emulator, i highly doubt the game runs that smooth on real hardware and if it does then congratulations they've done some sacrificial magic
@@cacomeat7385 Oh, trust me, I played this on hardware a long time ago. It runs just as well as emulator.
5:43 I didn't remember Tuco playing in that movie.
This feels like Mr.Plinkett's slightly more normal brother
Or maybe one of the sons he's mentioned, I think he's said one of them is in jail?
@@ramseydoon8277 Does that make Uncle Frank Plinkett's brother? The plot thickens.
