This game doesn't get the credit it deserves for its graphics. The ice level in the caves with the dripping waterfalls looks amazing, go into the darker areas and see the great lighting effects on the Vectorman sprite. Also the later level with the lightning in the backgrounds, really impressive. Vectorman is a great game all round and better than it's rushed sequel.
i was a big fan of vectorman in the 90's ! in the early 2000's i believe i heard rumors of a 3D new version around the PS2 era but might have just been an internet rumor
This was definitely the most exciting time in gaming, from Vectorman and Donkey Kong Country pushing the limits of the Sega Genesis and Super NES, to all of the innovation from evolving emerging consoles. There will never be another time like it.
I’m such a huge fan of Vectorman. I just have to much fixation with the main character in almost every aspect. I really love his overall look & how he stands out to me.
I got this game for Christmas in 95. While I was able to defeat it in under a week, it had enough hidden secrets to keep me exploring for several play throughs after.
vectorman (and vectorman 2) are both great games, but i would argue that the donkey kong country series (including just the first game) were massively more impressive and did far more to push that graphical style and the future of graphics than vectorman did. vectorman was definitely sega attempting to play catch-up with nintendo and rare, and while i love the game, it absolutely can't even hold a candle to donkey kong country. the latter is just way more impressive, deep, and does a lot more with that 3d computer modeled art style. calling vectorman "ahead of its time" is just flat-out wrong. the super nintendo had done far more with this graphical rendering style in the DKC games, and far more with this gameplay style in super metroid. both came out well before vectorman did.
Hacer los personajes con sprites redondos hacia que tuvieran poca personalidad. Una versión para 32x con personajes con un rediseño hubiese quedado muy bien
He didn't say it was the first of its kind, just that it was a revolutionary technique. The games that used it -did- stand out among their pixel art peers. I prefer the pixel stuff myslf, but Vectorman was pretty fun
The game is pretty good, but you're really overhyping it. It was essentially just Sega copying Rare and Nintendo's pioneering of pre-rendered 3D graphics. Donkey Kong Country is far superior to Vectorman. Vectorman is cold, gloomy and overly difficult. You're constantly fighting the timer and when you run out of lives, that's a wrap. No continues. As much as I like Sega, they really were always a couple steps behind Nintendo. Simply not on the same level. Looking back now it really is no surprise that their stint as a hardware company came to an abrupt end. Also, why did you show the N64 when talking about the SNES? 🙄
I used to draw the level 1 bossfight in kindergarten class. loved this game. I was SOOO excited at the commercial

Always loved the Treasure style "this character is a bunch of balls or cubes" style graphics in this game.
I really hope Sega remakes this game
Why remake when you can start fresh?
Don't worry 😜
Heres what i would do, make it a Reboot or something.
Core memory unlocked! I can't believe I forgot about this game, and it would be awesome to see it get a modern spiritual successor
Not sure if it's true, but I heared each ball was it's own sprite, if it's true then it's extremely impresive
Good video, Reload man! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Appreciate it!

This character deserves a reboot
Saw it in theaters. Loved it. And so did the entire theater.
🤘

Awesome game wich I seen almost nowhere on youtube.
Awesome music, smoothest controls and graphics at least like it is on sega saturn

1:44 I Swear I Seen This Cartridge When I Was Cleaning A Old Room 😂& Remembered I Played This At 5Or7 YO ~ Good Game2
Wow! 🤘
I love how you can use your double jump as an offensive weapon. My bro in law told me about it as a kid and I thought it was awesome.
That BlueSky is not the same BlueSky from the Ice Age cartoons (but your confusion is understandable)
Ahh, thanks for clearing that up. I did have the mixed up.
Sega PLEEEEEEAAAAAASSEEE bring back VectorMan!!!
@retro reload I still love the quality of this, can you do one about Panorama Cotton? It had cool graphics too.
You didn't mention how the Donkey Kong Country games played a role in how Vectorman was a response to Donkey Kong Country! Why didn't you mention it?
My bad 😅
@@TheRetroReload Why didn't you mention how Vectorman was a response to the DKC games in terms of graphics?
@@TheRetroReload Well? Why didn't you mention how the DKC games influenced Vectorman's creation?
Hmm... I wonder this Vectorman franchise could be use as new game project like D.T.
How do you compete against a console that isn't out yet?
0:24 - To compete against the juggernaut that was the Super Nintendo (show the N64 instead).
Probably forgotten because it was more gimmick than game, games like thunder force 4 and alisia dragoon will never be forgotten
Michael Bay presents Wall-E
Lol
It was indeed an an amezing game.

You’re pretty spot on here. As for the n64, I just made a mistake there 😅 Thanks for watching!
How has this not gotten an update
