1:53 It’s not so much the PC version being “busted” so much as newer versions of Windows having terrible backwards compatibility. When played on period-appropriate hardware in Windows 95/98 I run into zero issues pertaining to soft-locking no matter what settings are changed, along with no crashes. This is why “retro reviews” have to be made with more careful consideration of what kind of hardware as well as software any given game was designed to run on. That said, there definitely are “busted” PC versions of console games made long ago, with Beyond Good & Evil being a particularly awful port on PC.
@@paperbag1093 I was at first afraid that my comment would come across to you as being too nit-picky or critical of the video. This is just what my brain sometimes blurts out when I watch a very enjoyable video; I try give to give some constructive info in return to the creator, even if worded a bit roughly at times. Stay safe!
@@Banzeken No worries, mate. I think comments like yours are extremely valuable as even content creators won't always know the full context of a games history. Not only do I learn something in the end, but so do others who decide to read the comment section :) I hope you stay safe as well
I still play the game on a Windows XP virtual machine. I couldn't get it to work on windows 10. It seems to run ok without the pause menu bug and save works from getgo.
Nice! I was playing on Windows 10. I think the reason why it was buggy was because Future Cop was intended for 32 bit systems and getting it to work on 64 bit causes weird things to happen.
@@paperbag1093 Yea that's probably the main reason why. Btw, I have watched insane amount of Future Cop LAPD reviews (sorted by new + top on youtube, mostly in the background) last couple of months, most of them talk about the same stuff, this is the first time I have found new info about the dev history in a while (6:40). Great video and research. Keep it up.
@@ferdowsurasif Your comment reminded me of another website I came across documenting the development of the Mac version which may interest you: roger.geek.nz/future_cop/programmers_posts.html. I wanted to include this information as well as the fact that Future Cop was initially called Future Strike before it became its own IP, but by then I had already done most of the video. Thanks for watching the video, and your feedback! It's always interesting to hear how people come across my channel considering how small it is and how niche reviews of old, obscure games are.
PaperBag thanks for sharing.Those interviews were interesting to read. Didn't know about the hurdles of their Mac development process. I looked into the strike series before. The others didn't stand out to me too much and I didn't find them when I was little, so no nostalgia. I liked Future Cop for the precinct assault PvP against my brothers. I still remember every map and can beat sky captain max level without a sweat. Although seems like I am the only one who never massively used shockwave heavy weapons. My preferred powered up "pop up mine" could take out sky captain and easily farm base, not to mention the absolute best in PvP.
I hope you enjoy today's episode! As always, feedback is appreciated.
Have a good one, and Merry Christmas :)
You made me smile and laugh various times, so you are not failing completely ;) Like your style, keep it up! subbed!
This game was great
I had the same favorite loadout
Very nice! Sorry for the late reply, this only got notified to me today :(
same even after completing and unlocking the extra weapons from the story mode
