Joe is now officially the undefeated champion of Hard Blowing
By the way, the reason why you couldn't find Kula World/Kula Quest's US release is because it was completely renamed for the American version - it was called Roll Away there for whatever reason.
There it is - was looking for someone to post what I'd known had been released for NTSC-U/C.
Kula World
Kurushi
Tomba
If any games taught me not to judge on a name or a first impression; it was these 😂❤
Yeah, Roll Away = Kula World. Why did USA get such a crappy name for Kula World?
guess Europe and Japan got a... Kula name
@@That_Handle there is is - a chump
Street Fighter EX has a pretty beloved following to the point that when developer Arika made a April Fools trailer for a sequel to those games about 10 years ago, people went bananas and there was enough demand for Fighting EX Layer to become a thing. It has none of the capcom stuff in it, but it has all of Arika's original characters as well as Terry Bogard.
Joe is knocking it out of the park once again. Thanks for all your efforts once again as they're very much appreciated.
Yo Joe ✊🇺🇲
Joes skits always make my laugh, thanks for always adding them to the end of your videos Joe!
Nothing like a game sack episode to wrap up a Saturday night
Saturday night? It sunday noon soon ;p
Or a Sunday morning.
👍
Its morning for me. Good night, I hope you have a wonderful sleep and sweet dreams 💖
"Nothing like a game sack episode to highlight your weekend"
I still think you should do an episodes on games with the worst frame rates(below 30fps) for each generation starting with NES, Master System & those that came before as one episode.
*cough*shadow of the colossuss*cough*
So basically a video about Rings of Power? I have always wanted to try that game because I heard the mechanics were mindblowing for the era, but that horrible transition from square to square hurts my eyes.
that's a great idea.
This is exactly the kind of pedantry I love about Game Sack. Joe has always pioneered technical accuracy in retro console content, and this is another great example.
YES. it's this kind of content that makes me press the Like button 3x fast.
On the other hand, he thinks VS. was a Japanese exclusive for some reason.
Unfortunately so many errors in the commentary about the games...
@@nurfuermist wha wha whaaaa...
@@mickael486i always press the like button twice to make sure he gets two thumbs up from me 👍👍
Klonoa's one of those mascot platformer games that you wish got the same love as Mario or Sonic. It's charm is basic but unique and easy to give to friends and family as an introductory to video games. Both games are remastered for modern platforms, including a Steam port.
I'd also recommend the other games in the series, even if they're not as accessible as the modern remasters of the two mainline games.
20:31 This game was called "Roll Away" in the US
41:39 "Vs." wasn't exclusive to Japan, because it was released both in the US and Europe by THQ. It's based on "Fighters' Impact", which is a Japan-only game, as it was shown at 8:55
41:00 victory boxing wasn't exclusive to Japan either, came out in PAL region
Damn, I literally posted both of these comments before knowing you did too. We are nerds for inherently knowing these useless facts though....
FYI there's also:
Chocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon (2D sprites, but polygonal environments)
Colin McRae Rally (Has a 60fps mode similar to GT1 hidden behind a cheatcode, heavily reduces the trackside detail)
Namco Museum Volume 1/2 (The Museum portions are in fully explorable 3D, but these sections were capped to 30fps in Volume 3-5)
The Next Tetris (It's Tetris but it does use 3D graphics & also is the only other 3D PS1 game I know besides Devil Dice & iS that runs at a full 640x480 ingame)
Rat Attack (Weird action puzzle game seemingly designed w/ the PS1 in mind as the framerate was halved when ported to N64)
It's the PS1 so the library is massive, there's probably even more stuff out there that qualifies, but is super obscure or japan only.
Also Slap Happy Rhythm Busters isn't pointlessly interlaced, but just has a very unconventional high res mode. It's only high res on one axis which means it renders at 320x480 instead something like 512x480.
Colin McRae has a "turbo mode" that runs at 60fps. Bit like GT it cuts down trackside bits.
I can’t live without my GameSack. Currently on a cruise through the Panama Canal and I was very happy to see a new episode when I woke up! Thanks Joe and greetings from… somewhere in the Pacific Ocean!
That high frame rate had my cat batting the screen! Normally, he doesn't acknowledge the TV at all.
I love the look of high res, flat shaded ps1 fighters. They're weirdly stylish
Make sure to enable 60fps in your youtube settings everyone!
Hello, and thank you for making Game Sack.
I'd love a follow up episode of Joe "correcting" people about games that don't actually run at 60 FPS.
Love waking up a Sunday and have breakfast to a new Game Sack video. Also, this episode reminds me why the PS1 era was soooo good: Devs took chances to experiment with games instead of just stick with what was popular and corporate approved.
Interesting its a Tuesday night at 10 pm thing for me.. I usually work early Wed but strangely not tomorrow.. My gold standard YT channels typically get their own day of the week although thats not always possible
Best sundays are a game sack sunday. I actually got out of going to church to have a beer on the toilet and watch this
Bloody Roar is such a fun series. Man that needs to come back. So many fond memories of going to war with Gado the Lion in those games.
I feel like the reason fighting games fell by the wayside is because they stopped focusing on fun and focused on “hardcore” lunatics.
Too bad Konami shelved the series after 4…😢
it would be nice if it comes back one day, thing is we need the old Konami suits to retire so somebody else can take the helm and make the company great again. too many great franchises to be reduced to nothing more than Pachinko cabinets.
@@JazGalaxy Fighting games were more hardcore during the 90s than any other point in history, what
Now everything has to have a pseudo-AAA story mode and baby mode controls.
@@mechadekalook how technical Tekken is now
I'm crazy for early 3D figthting games, and this video made me discover a few that I've never played before!
We got Kula World over here in the US, the name was changed to Roll Away.
The North American release of Kula World/Quest is called Roll Away, published by Psygnosis. Great game.
36:08 I always love seeing how much the graphics improved over a consoles lifetime. It's especially noticeable with fighting games like Tekken and Soul Calibur.
Little fun fact about Motorhead ps1, on the PAL version you get 3 opponents in the smooth mode instead of 2 because it's 50fps, guess the spare overhead helped here haha.
The higher resolution of PAL is outweighed by the longer vblank interval sometimes. The GPU works a bit harder per-frame but the CPU gets more time to think.
PAL really was the superior standard, but so much stuff was designed for NTSC that its single shortcoming became infamous.
Generally European developers optimized correctly their games for PAL releases.
They often made their games full screen and play at the correct speed, sometimes they even used the extra time left to the CPU to do other things.
Seriously people often criticize PAL releases for nothing, yes 60hz is better than 50Hz, but 576i/288p is also better than 480i/240p and English isn't everyone's first language (+ games often released later so sometimes we had some game fixes).
The funny part is the games that weren't optimized in their speed but were for their resolution are the superior version today in emulators if you force 60hz as long as the game don't need sound synchronization.
We need PAL semi-optimized patches to play every games at 288p 60hz
Rascal is a weird game. The fact that the Executives thought that tank controls in a platformer was a good idea will forever baffle me.
They think "TOmb Raider popular. Make it more like Tomb Raider." And that's all they think.
We really have Mario 64 to thank for laying the groundwork
Funnily enough, Croc also does this but it's fairly manageable.
Tonic Trouble and Rayman 2 very nearly got the same treatment. Especially the former, as a slower-paced adventure game.
@@The_Boctor wonder if Spyro might have gone the same route if Mario 64 never happened
I love IQ. Joe you ain't setting the bombs. Press Triangle after collecting a green one. They need to remake that game.
You wanna know why it was difficult for you to find info on the NA release for Kula Quest/World? It's because here in North America, they decided to call it *_Roll Away_*
They are morons in north america
9:18 *"These four are all based on the K1 martial art, which looks a lot like kickboxing."*
It is kickboxing. K1 is a kickboxing promotion, in the same way that UFC is an MMA promotion.
What you showed of them actually looks very impressive for a PS1 game!
Crime Killer looks fantastic, that's an original look for a PS1 title
Reminds me of G-Police
Couldn't get to sleep, decided to check the home page again, and got to watch a fresh Gamesack minutes after it was released. I was not red E for how good tonight would turn out.
Game sack always uploading videos about topics I never thought of or cared about… and then I watch them and enjoy them thoroughly.
Critical blow, final blow, hard blow… I’m noticing a theme on this one Joe! And they’re all 60 faps per second games.
60 per second?? Joe failed NNN hard, and then some!!
60 faps per second? No wiener can survive that
Wait a minute....
60 faps per second?!
You'll start a fire!!
That's a lot of "faps" per second
Joe you continue to knock it out of the park with Game Sack thanks for all that you do and for keeping Game Sack going.
I just like watching you talking about retro games.
So thanks.
PS1 can be kind of weird when trying to nail down the actual frame rate since it's able to selectively update certain things at different rates. The mainline Final Fantasies are a popular example since the battle menus themselves update at 60fps even though the battles certainly don't. But speaking of Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy VII has the Speed Square mini-game that runs at 60, as well as the snowboard mini-game.
Joe, I don't know how you do it to maintain high quality and high volume twice a month. Salute! Thanks for cranking these bad boys out!
There were so many cool and weird experimental games for PS1.
Man this channel is like the ultimate comfort videos......so reliable and consistent....
That opening music is just the ultimate, too
"Killing isn't a crime if it's crime you're killing"
I'll have to meditate on that one latter
Thank you Joe, always enjoy your content.
Great video! I love this nostalgic feeling I get with this channel’s episodes. The style, the themes, music, the jokes.. it all takes me back to that feeling in the 90s of going to the TV in the evening to catch that videogames show while you grab a snack. Really wholesome stuff. Thanks!
So impressed of how consistent you are! Thank you for doing this! Great job.
Dead or alive has 60 fps jiggles no wonder they look so nice
I was always surprised by how many PS2 and GameCube games prioritized framerate, especially considering how 5th gen (and later 7th gen) consoles had such abysmal performance so often, especially N64. I always prefer a high and stable framerate over graphical fidelity, and I’m glad a lot of modern console games give us that performance option.
Usually any game that “prioritized frame rate” was built for a lower quality machine and so the frame rate buff was just a happy coincidence. Unless we’re talking about something like F-Zero where it was to help make it appear fast. The ps2, Xbox, GameCube era was the first generation where we really started to see the same game be made for multiple consoles at the same time without basically building separate versions from scratch.
Sadly n64 was a victim of being too complicated for it's own good. Kaze Emanuar has been optimizing Mario 64's source code to run a way more advanced version at above 30. His work has shown the original Mario 64 could have been 60 fps if they had the knowledge and time back then
@@junkimytyeah. We also have to remember that they were probably programming Mario 64 before the final hardware specs for the N64 were even locked down.
@@JazGalaxyIt was also generally the case for exclusives. Not all of them mind you, but if a game ran at 60 it was probably helped by only having to be on one system!
A lot of games designed or initially designed with the PS2 in mind ran at 60 for example: Ace Combat, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil May Cry, Armored Core, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Gran Turismo, Twisted Metal Black, Zone of the Enders, etc.
These were fairly advanced games too with open environments and/or a lot of effects. Some of them pushed the hardware more than some of the 30fps games did.
@@JazGalaxyYou forgot Dreamcast, pal.
RC de Go is such a great game! Nobody every talks about it. It’s has an official Kyosho license too. And I love the announcer, who doesn’t love A POOL OF WATERRRRR
I had Roll Away (Kula Quest) for PS1. I never thought it was rare.
Playing these 60 fps games with the duckstation emulator and activating the perspective correction option it's absolutely fantastic, not only 60fps also the solid textures you can get, it's a game changer in my opinion. Thank you Joe for another fantastic episode.
Been messing around with Duckstation (as well as XBSX2, Dolphin, Flycast, etc etc) on my Xbox Series X in dev mode. It's crazy how good some of these games look running at 4k and 60fps.
I remember G-Police had graphic settings that could increase the frame rate but I have no idea if it actually reaches 60fps but definitely a novelty to have in a console game at the time.
The PC version ran extremely well so I'm sure the PSX version was fast too
I love when I’m up late and I see a new Game Sack episode drop. It’s time to get cozy 📺😏🕹️
thanks for putting this list up! it's really a blessing!
I swear Retro game Sack is food for the soul.When im depressed ,the only thing that can cheer me up is a gamesack episode.
He's awesome
I feel your pain with wrestling games, as much as I'd love to get good, I always find myself grappling with the controls.
Nice job putting this one together, Joe! It must have been a real pain in the ass figuring out what all of the 60fps games were and getting all this footage of each game. It's incredibly easy to just take things for granted without really stopping and thinking about all the hard work that goes into stuff like this, so I just want to let you know that I do very much appreciate it. Been watching you for years, since back in the Dave era of the show. I always love to see Dave come back for a show on rare occasion too. He's become very nostalgic, and he's super funny. I'll never forget that hilarious skit where he gets stalked by that Sonic plushie. It's an all time classic. I'd love to see you do a sequel skit one day where Sonic returns to stalk Dave yet again after all these years, and maybe this time he actually stalks both of you.
You know, there is this idea most people have that Sony "hated" 2D games and didn't want any of them on the PS1. I'm pretty sure that's an exaggeration and not entirely accurate. Nobody really wanted 2D games at the time, not just Sony. It's not because they were hated, but rather because they wanted games that showed off the power of their hardware. 3D was the next big thing. If they truly hated 2D so much, they wouldn't have allowed any to be released on their console. There are many 2D games on the PS1, and so much more then most people even realize.
Laudable that someone not only made a PS1 60fps games list in video, but actually also commented what's about each game and possible quirks and hoops you need to jump through to get 60fps!
If I had to do it, it would have to be done this way... I'm just lacking in time and interest, but it's certainly a nice and useful video to have around when exploring PS1's game library
41:37 Correction VS actually only came out in North America and Europe but was basically a reskin of Fighter's Impact from 8:55 which DID only come out in Japan
Joe did you ever try playing the tutorial in IQ? The green cubes give you the ability to capture more cubes and you're supposed to not capture the black cubes.
I'm good with never playing it again, thanks :)
Super underappreciated game, its always been a stand out title on the console to me lol.
That explains why DDR 5th Mix was always my favorite, best selection of music and it felt so much better to play than the previous games.
i was looking for this video for a long time , thank you so much , now i can enjoy more with my ps1 connect to CRT with amazing 60fps with no blur
I can't resist the urge to be pedantic.
K-1 is just kickboxing, its just the name of the promotion like "UFC" or "Golden Boy".
I always look forward to the new game sack episode.
Maybe it's just me but Joe feels like he could easily be a good friend to most of us. He's very comfy & personable.
Always enjoy the videos Joe. The production quality and content is always top notch.
Devil Dice is basically a PS1 precursor for Bombastic on the PS2. Also yes these games are HARD!!! Would you also believe there's actually a multiplayer mode in Bombastic?
the puzzle mode of the first one was excellent
@@fu102 Agreed
Didn't realize there were so many 60fps games for the PS...
Loved this episode.
Joe with the FRESH cut. Looking good my man
Joe! I'm so addicted to GS! Thank you for making these!
60 fps, one of my early obsessions with 3D. This was great!
Lots of games on the PS1 that are nowhere near 60fps can do so with some overclocking on an emulator. Before Nightdive Studio's PowerSlave Exhumed remaster on current systems, the PS1 version overclocked was the premier way to enjoy the game.
Maybe a topic for a Sack video? Even if it involves icky emulators.
Yeah, just throw more power at it bro.
That would be like saying the 3DS Pokémon games have no frame rate problems because you can forcibly enable multithreading and high clock rate modes on the N3DS via Luma.
Your videos are the best museum/archive for games on the internet. I've been a fan for a long time
A daunting task with rewarding results!
Thanks again for narrowing the search for ps1 games in that category.
This was needed for those enthusiast collectors.
Excellent episode! One minor correction: Vs. on PS1 wasn't exclusive to Japan as it was released in the US.
Battle Arena Toshinden 3 Backgrounds at 30FPS: 🏰🏰
Battle Arena Toshinden 3 Backgrounds at 60FPS: ⬜⬛
😂
Yep, less time to update the textures at 60fps.
Kula Quest did release in the U.S, the name unsuprisingly was changed to Roll Away.
Sweet video dude! Always look forward to your work!
Once again I love to see Zero Divide 2 appear on these lists, though it's a bit of a wait to get to it since the list is sorted alphabetically. Such an underrated gem. Maybe not the most original thing in the world, but it feels very smooth to play and the soundtrack is absolutely killer. Do check this one out if you haven't and if you like Virtua Fighter-style fighting games!
The double pronunciation bit with Darius is extra funny when neither are correct. Good stuff 😂
Yes and no. When a game is named a western name like Darius (written in katakana), the Japanese pronunciation isn’t necessarily “correct” since they are acknowledging that it’s not a Japanese word.
For instance, if they named a game “Emily” and wrote it “e-me-ri”, an American would call it “E-me-ri” they would just call it “Emily”.
I remember being obsessed with N2O. Such a gem on the PS1
That 60fps Battle Arena 3 looked... like it was in a weird slow motion.
when a game goes from 30 to 60, it usually looks faster not slower.
it looks way better in person. in my opinion it's one of the best fighters on the playstation. it's highly replay able due to the number of fighters to unlock not to mention the combos you can pull off.
@@foreverhungry84 I dabble with playing it on my shitty PS one classic I got for $35.
With I.Q., you are aware that when you destroy a green cube, it leaves a green mark on the ground that you can then detonate at will to destroy the 3x3 grid of cubes around it, right? Because that's kind of a big part of what makes I.Q. so exciting! You can't really complete later levels without placing and using those green "landmine" cubes very carefully!
I.Q. also has a unique ending for every playable character, which is kind of rad. It's really a very exciting and fast-paced puzzle game once you get the hang of it!
(Also, there's a Japan-only sequel to I.Q. on the PlayStation 1 called I.Q. Final, which I believe also runs at 60 fps! It's an improvement over the original game in basically every way, and is the best I.Q. title IMHO, even surpassing the PS2 sequel known as I.Q. Remix+. Recommended to check out sometime!)
I was so frustrated when he called this game boring while seeing all these green triangles floating in the air, gosh
IQ Final was also released as "Kurushi Final" in Europe.
Kurushi rocked..
I appreciate you growing such a lush hair for end bit.
I forgot at how many fighting games were released back in the 90s.
I love that these are in alphabetical order. Makes searching for individual titles easy to find. Plus, just being in order is just a nice touch for our chaotic world.
"Go down to the video store and rent it today."
This makes me wonder what life would've been like if we had TH-cam and all this information at our fingertips back in the 90's when we were renting games. Life would've been less like a box of chocolates.
That’s an interesting question. Because even if you had the info, you were still at the mercy of their selection. I think many of us rented games we KNEW were bad just because they were there and you had played everything else.
@@JazGalaxymy childhood memories of the video store are definitely set to the key of “settling”, since almost any game I would want would always be out. Not always. Sure. But it was a common enough occurrence.
it's one of the big benefits we gamers have in this day and age, companies cant easily screw us over anymore, if a game is shit, then we'll all hear about it.
I knew as soon as I was gonna watch your gbc video you'd release something. Suffice to say I'm happy to check out some interesting games.
This is such a badass video. Thank you for taking the time & patience to make it bro. As someone who’s been playing the PS2, & PS1 games on that ps2, this is a perfect way to see some great slept on titles that the PS2 can help embellish with ease🤘🤘🤘
I didn't realize that Bloody Roar 1 and 2 ran at 60fps. I enjoyed the gameplay instead of the framerate.
The framerate helped you enjoy the gameplay even if you didn't specifically notice it.
Additional to the wrestling game AJPW: King's souls (at 42:30), which IMO is by far the best wrestling game on the system (as well as the two King of Colosseum Games based on the same game engine on the PS2), there's also Yuke's NJPW: Toukon Retsuden 3 with an optional 60 fps mode. But using that mode the Referee is missing. Toukon Retsuden 2 also had such mode, but I guess it doesn't count since it was only available via a cheatcode. Also a heavily modified Toukon Retsuden 3 game engine (upgraded in terms of graphic fidelity, downgraded in terms of gameplay and realism) was the basis for the PS1 WWE Smackdown games (as well as the prior to Smackdown released budget games "Simple 1500 Series Vol. 22: The Pro Wrestling" and "Simple 1500 Series Vol. 52: The Pro Wrestling 2").
Thank -YOU- for showing Game Sack!
It’s pretty impressive how the developers were able to get everything looking and running good later on in the PS1’s life. Example being Bloody Roar and then Bloody Roar 2 which were only a couple years apart.
How did you research this? is there a database? or did you painstakingly load up every 3D PS1 game and analyse the frames?
We need new Bloody Roar and Rival Schools Games!!! 😢
Love your videos and the end credit scenes, funny stuff as always. Keep up the great work!
Off the top of my head it was mostly fighting and a handful of racers like that special version of Ridge Racer which was also hi-res
32:16 I was confused as I remembered looking up the second game years ago and seeing that the sequel was only on Dreamcast
Apparently Shiritsu Justice Gakuen Nekketsu Seishun Nikki 2 is basically what Street Fighter III: Third Strike is to Street Fighter III: Second Impact, it's like an update
It adds two characters and a new version of the school mode c:
41:45, Vs. was a worldwide release, and came out in all major regions. I own all 3 regions of this game.
It was a Western localization with redesigned characters.
That ending skit was effing hilarious!!!
Joe you're the man! Thanks for the show brother!
Great content as always! Next you should do a video covering games that ran in high resolution mode for PS1, PS2 & Dreamcast!
Not sure how much interest it would draw, but I sure would be interested! 😁
Most Dreamcast games ran in its highest resolution though.
@@bombjack1984you can force the games that don't run in vga resolution by patching them too on dreamcast; though obviously with a retail disc your stuck. I think sega lord x did videos on 60fps and hi res mode.
@@bombjack1984 Many ran at 240p while some ran at 480 or could be forced to run at 480, at least that's my understanding.
@@bombjack1984 That will be 640x480 for ntsc games. Does the Dreamcast support PAL resolutions like 640x576 or 640x512?
