I think you should do a list of examples of video game logic that make no sense, such as poorly designed armor in Monster Hunter World that shouldn’t even work
@@JokerCrowe It's cuz she's so smol and we associate that with innocence so it gives us a twisted sort of satisfaction. Like you don't want kids to be going around cursing, but when they do it's adorable.
Remake developers: "We're very proud of what we've done here! After discussing it, we've agreed this is just what the creators were envisioning in their minds for this boss, and with today's technology, we can easily accomplish--" Me: "PUT IT BACK"
“More smaller nightmare clowns.” Close, Mike. But know that clown cars are a thing, so there are certainly normal sized nightmare clowns inside the crates.
@@ozblok7018 I agree, the original was creepier, and I think it's because the original looks only half-formed. Like it hatched too early and didn't have all of its features grow in. Like even if Lara didn't kill it, it would probably die on it's own from bacterial infection at any moment.
And here I was expecting Gyorg from the Majora's Mask remake. In the original, he was just a giant fish with a weird humanish eye and some sharp teeth. In the remaster, he's still a giant fish, but now he has a skull-like head with dead, normal eyes, and A GIANT FREAKING EYE IN HIS MOUTH THAT FOLLOWS YOUR EVERY MOVE. *shudders*
Nearly everything that was said about Kraid applies to Ridley as well. 1. Laughably non threatening appearance in their debut 2. Nightmare creature in their second appearance 3. Updated in the remake to be the nightmare creature they became in later games.
They also see it as a chance to use new game physics for more realistic goo, slime, gore and other biological fluids to not just horrify, but to also disgust us as much as possible.
@@deathbykonami5487 And also I'd say if anything he's *less* scary than the Robin Williams version because he's so gosh-damn laid back. When Aladdin let the Genie down in the animated movie, the Genie got openly angry with him. In the remake he just quietly and sadly says "you're breaking my heart." I don't think he yells once in the entire movie.
He may not be an official boss, but the extra pixels on the frost troll in Skyrim Special Edition really ratchet up the horror, if you ask me. *shudders*
Sucks how the ceo of nintendo thinks a new F-zero is a waste of time and refuses to have a new one made because he thinks it needs to have completly new mechanics for it to be worth doing and that theyve done all there is to do with F-Zero
The Ocarina of Time 3D Remaster had a fantastic rendering of Bongo Bongo, complete with cauterized arms, deformed spine, and a lot of subtle veins. Because why not?
@@deathbykonami5487 bc of the n64s limits, they probably had a hard time conveying what he looked like in the concept art, so he just looked like "generic, but cool monster design" Then the 3ds version was like "brace FIDELITY" and have that head attatched to a dangling body w/o arms
I hate spiders. Depending on who I'm playing as, I could handle them easy or just make me want to throw the controller and run. Resident Evil's Black Tiger spider I would hate to fight but I can kill Okami's Spider Queen easy.
xD I love that the first entry, Genie, exemplifies the credo: "If you want to make it scary, make it a Clown." I can't point to a single situation wherein that credo has not held true. Thank you, Ellen, for the Nightmares. (I find myself saying that a lot, lately.)
Suddenly I *don't* want a Dragon Age: Origins remaster so much. I don't need to see what a broodmother would look like with today's high quality graphics.
Ellen, I am proud of you for handling the spider for as long as you have in discussing it. You have come so far. Also I think more then one of the crew has a trauma called: "Nightmare Clowns". You might want to make a video about it and call it therapy.
As much as I love Ellie speaking about Black Tiger as a fellow arachnophobe and recently finally finishing the game. The original game came out in 96, the remake came out in 2002, and the remake remaster came out in 2015.
The SNES Metroid even taunts you about the Kraid bulk-up! Just before the room where the real, several-screens-high Kraid is waiting, you fight a small version of him, likely his offspring, which plays out very similar to the NES fight. When you kill it, the door opens up and... Well, you find out papa Kraid is big as a building, and severely pissed!
While ur comment is correct, the fact that snes super Metroid kraid fight was completely ignored in favour of the 2002 version is a slight kick in da n*ts for Metroid fans, considering that kraid is 2 full screens tall in super Metroid, a game that supersedes the 2002 GBA zero mission.
Originally clowns didn't have full face make-up. The original clowns apparently just had some light red face paint on their cheeks. So originally clowns didn't resemble or remind people of corpses, they just reminded people of drunk people.
My mom is terrified of them, and by extension people in costume in general. She has a very vivid memory of going to the circus as a kid in the late 60s and the clowns came into the audience to get kids for their act and they took a kid next to her who didn’t want to go and was practically dragged away screaming.
@@SurprisinglyDeep I know what clowns are and all that. I just never found them scary. However I seem to have been wrong in my statement of never finding them funny. I don't remember it but when I was less than 4-5 years old I watched The Bozo Show and liked it as told by my parents.
Black Tiger was even less scary in the original if you were playing as Jill and brought in the Bazooka with flame rounds loaded. To quote Roahm Mythril: "That sure was a boss."
I have to say the Spyro one legit made me a bit sketch because I remember as a kid Jack kind of scared me and I wasn't expecting him to look like that.
I feel that a couple of these were only in here based on very specific phobias. The genie in Link's Awakening is only scary if you are afraid of clowns, and the the spider in Resident Evil only if you are arachnophobic. And, honestly, while it is more detailed in the remake, I find the design of the torso boss more unnerving in the original Tomb Raider.
When someone who isn't coulrophobic or arachnophobic comments on how disturbing something is, that's gotta count for something in the "scary" column, especially when compared to the previous version. I can definitely see why the remade Genie could be considered scary, even though I have no specific fear towards clowns...and I completely agree with the consensus that it's much worse than the original.
I have learnt today that no matter if my phone is on the lowest brightness setting, the cut from the dark-ish games to the white background of the studio is a surefire way to blind me for at least a minute. Also, having Ellen do the narration for the spider? As an arachnophobe my self, I feel nothing but pain and sympathy for that poor woman 🤣
"Aim high in life, but watch out for flying foxes." One of my favourite lines, thanks for including it! Advice I have genuinely tried to use in the intervening 25 years.
Sure, despite the fact he was not a boss, he looks terrifying in the new version, I saw both versions, and guarantee if I were a kid I would be scared of that thing in Master Chief collection HD
While he's not exactly going from meh to terrifying, Mr X got a serious upgrade to his abilities in the ability to use doors. In the original you would get attacked and just go, "oh no not Mr X" *leaves room* "ah, that was a challenge, he almost got within hitting range". And I don't think I need to describe the new tyrant...
You forgot a vital nightmare fuel part of the Torso monster in Tomb Raider. It gained a new move in which it could grab Laura, swallow her whole, and then you would get to watch her being digested unless you broke yourself out.
"Beware spoilers for the following games:" *Link's Awakening* Trust me. I already know everything about LA...due to religiously watching Producer Jon play through it.
Honestly, they still couldn't believe it when it did happen. They had filmed another video on "Games that deserve a sequel" which included F Zero. And before it was released, F-Zero 99 came out, leading to an extra clip of Luke going "WHAT THE HELL?" I say the Genie in another video, "Games we want sequels for" was listening in because that's where Luke actually did ask for F Zero. And not just F Zero, but a Battle Royale F Zero,.
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories final boss. Marluxia just has the weird final mech form in the gba version , but in the remake he has another form in which he has a GIANT ANGEL OF DEATH behind him and can take away your entire deck of cards plus one shot you if you dont break his sleighs over and over again... Pure mathematical terror @.@

Thanks guys, very neet series. I recently discovered you and have been binging. Diehard gamer since 1987, my addiction started with Atari 2600. Thanks for keeping me up to date( even if this is old)
Jacques was terrifying in the remake. Looking forward to your Christmas challenges. Have you ever thought about doing a character creation challenge. Pick a random character (from film or children’s tv) and each person has to try and create it. Then someone from the sister channel has to guess who has been made.
That last one, the spide boss from Resident Evil, really gives me shivers! Having arachnophobia, I always get goosebumps just thinking about those eight-legged insects!
Having seen the new artwork for the Resident Evil 3 remake, I've gotta say Nemesis looks pretty gross and I'm not looking forward to having to fight him again
Personally, I hope I can finally see the Drain Deimos and Brain Suckers in HD (please don't leave them out, like so many enemies in RE2 got left out, Capcom). I mean imagine seeing the Brain Suckers trying to pierce Jill's skull to, well, suck her brain out in that RE Engine.
Thank you for changing the title colors from green and white to lavender and white, makes it soooooo much easier to read. Been watching your channel rabidly lately ever since discovering it last week. I noticed you haven't done a best licensed game series yet. Maybe a good idea? Tbh I just want to see more love for Cool Spot, arguably the most underappreciated game ever created.

The boss fight in TR: Anniversary may have been more difficult, but TR 1996 was much scarier in general. The limited graphics and sound design only made the jumpscares more effective. And Anniversary was toned down to fit a younger audience. They even got rid of the pulsating flesh walls!
6:32 It wasn't retconning Kraid. Kraid was always supposed to be that huge, but because of hardware limitations they had to make him and Ridley look like deformed dwarves.
honestly I like the design of the torso boss in the original version of tomb raider more. it looks more unique AND looks way more disturbing to me, and its noises sound way more horrible
Oh we remember this bos-OH MY GOSH WHAT IS THAT NO NO NO NO NO. Here are the bosses that got a super scary upgrade the second time around...! 🤡😱
Still waiting for the game character deaths that we all saw coming; or was obviously foreshadowed, but were super sad...

Honestly, they still couldn't believe it when it did happen. They had filmed another video on "Games that deserve a sequel" which included F Zero. And before it was released, F-Zero 99 came out, leading to an extra clip of Luke going "WHAT THE HELL?"
I say the Genie in another video, "Games we want sequels for" was listening in because that's where Luke actually did ask for F Zero. And not just F Zero, but a Battle Royale F Zero,.
7:32 "Polygonal originals", I hope I'm not the only one who kept repeating this to themselves over and over after hearing it... Damn you Ellen! 😫
Polygoriginals?
I saw the Torso Boss for the first time ever in this video and to be honest, I was way more unnerved upon seeing the Ps1 version
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories final boss.
Marluxia just has the weird final mech form in the gba version , but in the remake he has another form in which he has a GIANT ANGEL OF DEATH behind him and can take away your entire deck of cards plus one shot you if you dont break his sleighs over and over again... Pure mathematical terror @.@
If Bloodborne ever gets remastered I shudder to think of the horrors of Yharnam. (Sorry I’ve been on a Bloodborne kick again.)
The British-ness strikes again. Had to look up "Catherine Wheel". We just call those "pinwheels" in the U.S.
That’s how us Brits feel all the time lol
The Gravemind is technically not a boss, yet he still sends shivers down my spine whenever I see it in Halo 2 anniversary
“Looks more like an aligator thats been stuffed into a Mardis Gras costume.”
So a Mardis Gator then...
I’ll see myself out

And she’s absolutely right.

Thanks guys, very neet series. I recently discovered you and have been binging. Diehard gamer since 1987, my addiction started with Atari 2600. Thanks for keeping me up to date( even if this is old)
What about the Tetris square from all of the remakes? I swear that thing looks malevolent (for a square) and is going for my soul! Back me up Jane!
I had to replay Luke’s “AAARGH” a few times. That was priceless.
I’d like to see bosses that are way scarier in the original, I’d say that’d be more challenging

Me and my kids love your channel!!! You all are amazing and funny!!! Sending love from Iowa State USA!!
Jacques was terrifying in the remake.
Looking forward to your Christmas challenges. Have you ever thought about doing a character creation challenge. Pick a random character (from film or children’s tv) and each person has to try and create it. Then someone from the sister channel has to guess who has been made.
That last one, the spide boss from Resident Evil, really gives me shivers! Having arachnophobia, I always get goosebumps just thinking about those eight-legged insects!
I just want Ellen to swear uncensored for once!
If we could get her on Eurogamer it might work, but we have to figure out how.
She does! The censor is added post production. You. Are. Welcome.
This is a family show, so they censor for posterity

Having seen the new artwork for the Resident Evil 3 remake, I've gotta say Nemesis looks pretty gross and I'm not looking forward to having to fight him again
Personally, I hope I can finally see the Drain Deimos and Brain Suckers in HD (please don't leave them out, like so many enemies in RE2 got left out, Capcom).
I mean imagine seeing the Brain Suckers trying to pierce Jill's skull to, well, suck her brain out in that RE Engine.
Thank you for changing the title colors from green and white to lavender and white, makes it soooooo much easier to read.
Been watching your channel rabidly lately ever since discovering it last week. I noticed you haven't done a best licensed game series yet. Maybe a good idea? Tbh I just want to see more love for Cool Spot, arguably the most underappreciated game ever created.
We do indeed stan the legend which is Jack Skellington

I Fucking Love This Channel.
The boss fight in TR: Anniversary may have been more difficult, but TR 1996 was much scarier in general. The limited graphics and sound design only made the jumpscares more effective. And Anniversary was toned down to fit a younger audience. They even got rid of the pulsating flesh walls!
Aw... those poor monsters having to live without pulsating flesh walls... :/
Luke: Bathing goes right out the window!
Me: *checks the upload day* Ah, this is from the before times
16:25 "Mm-nya-mm!" I agree with this assessment.
*10:07* Look, it's SCP-097!
Oh and with the RE2 remake, you can have Penniwise the Dancing Clown as Mr. X.
No! NO! NOT HAPPENING! I'M OUT!
*insert f*** this s*** I'm out*
6:32 It wasn't retconning Kraid. Kraid was always supposed to be that huge, but because of hardware limitations they had to make him and Ridley look like deformed dwarves.
honestly I like the design of the torso boss in the original version of tomb raider more. it looks more unique AND looks way more disturbing to me, and its noises sound way more horrible
I never played the original Spyro games, but when I encountered Jacques in the Reignited Trilogy, I thought "This guy is terrifying looking!"
