Hey dude, just wanted to tell you that I admire your dedication to making these hour long videos that seem to be somewhat unappreciated by the public (judging by the view count). I learned a lot, being a person that never played these. Thanks! My two cents about... the FMV thing :p It's really a shame that it is 99,99% abandoned nowdays (there are some indie games that do that today, but who cares) when the graphics caught up so well, that having cutscenes with actual actors doesn't seem that disconnected from the gameplay as it did in the 90s. My favorite example is Quantum Break. It basically had a mini-series TV show playing between levels and it was great! When actors appeared as NPCs in the game later, I could easily recognize them, because their faces and the mocap were done so well on the models that it didn't take me out of the immersion. And real actors still, well, ACT better than CGI ones. Back in the 90's and 00's I was excited to see all these rendered cutscenes in video games - now I'm usually skipping them. But not in Quantum Break, I watched the whole thing and was extremely involved. I wish more games would do that.
Hah thanks man I'm just doing what I like trying to make these videos better but the views are better than when I started. Before I would get lucky to get 30 Now I reach four times that in a weekend. I'm glad you liked and I'm not just preaching to the Choir
Aw man Fear Effect! I've never played this game myself but saw a let's play of it like a decade ago, and something about it stuck with me. I remember they made an announcement of a Kickstarter from some tactics spin off of it or something, but I have legit heard no one talk about this game since. So this was kind of a fun nostalgic trip.
Thanks man i'm at work so I'm gonna post it on the twatter after I get off and hit the Gym, but yeah I feel like it's a seminal game that get's overlooked. I think your thinknig of Sedna? That was announced and a remaster. There's more to come, hopefully I don't injure my shoulder and delay it but thanks for watching as always man.
@@Kamen_Gaming Thanks. He did complete it, but we don't have the game anymore, and the guide got torn up, don't remember how. I never knew about Retro Helix until a loooooong time after on TH-cam.
@@GenAqua yeah my only copy had a small blemish and refuses to go past disc one lol be nice if square allowed us a legal means to play it. 2 is also fun just frustrating at the end.
@@Kamen_Gaming fear effect 2 was great. Lot of small improvements made from first game. Story was interesting, Though I didnt care for dekes new va. Still the game was good even if changing discs like 6 times was odd as hell. Would have liked to play inferno but that was canceled. Did play fe Sedna. Dont really have anything kind to say about that one. Though I'm aware it wasnt same developers. I hope the remake does happen. Fear effect was unique and shouldn't fall into obscurity.
@@therenegadegamer2581 The only parts I don't like so far about part II is near the end when it get's more action oriented and sometimes there's alot of backtracking, but overall I feel like they did the pacing a good deal better.It was also interesting ahving a lesbian couple that was written really well. For Disc change I do present a theory in the video when it comes out lol
Oh yes if you watch the next two videos I kinda hammer it home that I feel like Fear Effect is in many ways more an interactive film in a good way that's one of it's strong points.
@@Kamen_Gaming yh I think that era psone just had it right in ways it can't be anymore due the nature of trends ,feel lucky to experience it 1st hand mgs sh fe alone in the dark in cold blood all hold a special place in my gaming history
@@masontrevelyan2254 Actually doing two videes right now on SH II and the remake how even if the remake is amazing, the original still needs to be playable and games need to do a better job of preserving their past because the Remake is NOT going to be the same even if it is great. Also yeah it's the trend of the industry, why make a great single player experience when you can try to force a battle pass and make it so you can ONLY play that game and have a monopoly on a person's time it's terrible, thankfully they're some games that don't do that, but as you said industry trends make em the outlier.
@@Kamen_Gaming yh its madness tbh I feel like the people who made fear effect sedna wear making a 1-1 recreation of fear effect 1 and the screenshot I've seen wear amazing, but that company has been axed due to a mix of bankruptcy and bad press from sedna so now the publisher has handed it over and look an behold it's now a over the ots shooter , I feel some sabotage has happend for the sake of the new re remake trend ,Alne in the darknis getting the same treatment to Edit . Sorry that been on my mind
It is kinda amazing how this game manages that tricky style of combining 2d comic book aesthetics to 3d so well. There have been attempts on later engines, but those have felt too jarring and uncombined.
It really was quite odd, most games just try to go full on like the Original XIII that's like this is just a comic book, while Fear Effect instead went with just the tone of comics, it's loud, it's bombstastic, it's abrasive, but that's not ALL it is. It's a really tricky line to walk and they did it phenomonal.
@@Kamen_Gaming My only experience of this game was reading walkthrough with pictures from some game magazine back then. Some sort of spoopy night tale before the bed. I must admit I didn't expect it to be sort of more like bombastic Hong Kong flick than actual horror. Though ghost Deke was pretty scary NGL.
@@Yurikon3 THat might be the Tarintino Influence. In more than the writing but the pacing. Similar to Dusk to Dawn there's nothing to suggest it's more than what it is until suddenly the next disc. With Part 3 (Working on that video now.) There was talks of a movie being made, and they chose an action director to do it it seemed for a film they gave up any idea of it being two genres.
Im a fear Effect fan since 2012 and always enjoy it when those games get some love. I agree with most of the points you made, but i think the "metal gear" part was way to long. An example should be quick on point, not an video essay on its own. Other than that your style of making videos seems solid and enjoyable. ;-)
That's no problem and honestly thanks for the feedback, yeah I maybe could have shortened that down. When I was doing it the Phantasmagoria video was way too it was two minutes and I was like 'yeah I should just ahve the good parts.' but we're learning and we're growing. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I thank you for the solid critcism.
One might even say it....critabombed with you lol. Jokes aside yeah it's insane a VERY dull fighting game was made by the same people that basically made a movie on the PSone.

My dad had Fear Effect years ago, along with the strategy guide.
Your dad sounds pretty rad

Good vid. Fear effect is one my favorite ps1 games. Wish it was available on current hardware.
Yeah there's hopes of the remake (Working on that video.) BUt i'm also working on Fear II as we talk, hope you look forward to it!

The spooky season is upon us? Halloween?
I was making this video for Halloween, but a series of mishaps including a pet passing greatly delayed the video.
@@Kamen_Gaming oh, okay. Just thought it was weird.
@@Kamen_Gaming baloney :(
Oh god i remember playing critacom it was boring!!!!
