I think I have a good way they could completely remake the boss battles in a fair manner that will balance the difficulty a bit more. For starters, you know how the evil pigs sometimes teleport away before you can land on them, and how that can make it somewhat difficult? I think they could have it to where they always do this, except for when the evil pigs are stunned to give Tomba an opening to toss them into that bag. As for stunning, I think what I've got here would work okay: So essentially you know how each pig specializes in a different type of elemental attack? Well, what if the only way to stun them is to use a weapon that directly contrasts with what the pigs are good at. For example, using the ice boomerang against the evil flame pig, the fire hammer for the evil ice pig, a pig robe against the ghost pig, the regular hammer (or the torch hammer specifically) for the earth pig, and the glacial boomerang specifically for the water pig. As for periods where the pigs are stunned, I think that it should be a pretty short window of time, but not so much so that the battles are outright frustrating to deal with. Furthermore, I think there should be a visual or audio cue as to when Tomba can stun the evil pigs, and ensure it doesn't happen too often as that would still make the battles way too easy. I also mentioned elsewhere on the internet that they should ditch the "toss it in 3 times rule" and while I somewhat stick by that, I think it would be better for the amount to be 3-5 times at random with these adjustments in place, but whether they actually do this or not is up to them
I loved the first Tomba! I only ever played the demo that came out on those old gaming magazine CDs with games like coolboarders and Jersey Devil. I rented Tomba 2, back when rental stores existed, and sadly didn’t get as into it as the 1st game. Glad you enjoyed it though!
The remake of Tombi! 1 & 2 / Tomba! 1 & 2 remake should have online leaderboards for fastest time on the Dirt Motocross, Trolley times, Kujara times and who has the most berries in the Mice Berry challenge mini games!
Hey I was recently bugging you on Twitter. I just wanted to say I am really impressed with the production quality of this video is small and yet you put in so much time and effort. Love this video. It's great! Keep it up and NEVER STOP DOING YOUR BEST!
You did an Epic job RaGe , I really enjoyed watching this episode !! as I enjoyed complete Tomba 2 for the first time ever with you 4 years ago , I really like your comments during the game 😁 , You are the best RaGe👍🏻 , Continue
Completely loved the review but with one single exception... the trolley part can go straight to hell 😂 I remember every part of this game but I refuse to acknowledge that last seed of strength. Funny enough, many many years after Tomba, now Pumpkin Jack, the game, actually has a very similar trolley game that is very definitely an hommage to Tomba and there it was finally done right.
@@RageBoxMan you should check it out it's a modern platformer made by a single developer that managed to reach AAA-quality while also being a massive passion project 👌🏻would make for a good video if you gauge your audience's reception to it.
The hidden towers, secrets that blew my 7 year old mind away (I had went from donkey kong country to this), and the crazy but cute story make me smile when thinking of this game.. But that mine cart bit can burn in the pits of the coal mining town. I could easily do all but the last one..
It blows mario 64 out of the water even with the 3d aspect. Tomba 1 and 2 are the best platformers of all time, the world just feels so immersive and cozy. So many secrets and things to discover.
I remember being addicted to Tomba2 back in 2001. I completed all missions. The world building was fun and the 2D-3D navigation was very creative and puzzling at the same time in some areas. It’s funny how the fully 3D level (the circus one) was the most boring of them all. These guys had it right the first time with “limitations inspire creativity”.
Oh I’ve actually seen this video before… a long time ago… tomba 2 is like my comfort game…. I’ve played almost every version, including the port on ps vita and ps 3… I regularly search it on TH-cam to see what I can find… I sometimes listen to the soundtrack to calm my nerves when I can’t sleep… it takes me back to the days of sitting in my room playing my ps1 before my parents divorced, I was forced to move to a different town, grew up, and got a job… it’s such a peaceful game… it lighthearted, fun, and interesting in its weird and wackiness…
@@RageBoxMan the audio on the ps3 port is terrible though… I mean the voice acting is bad on every version of the game… but in those random instances like when you collect the coal mining bell, and zippo says “it must be under repair… the rails are missing from the track”… obviously referencing the trolly track that gram was fixing earlier in the game… a lot of those misplaced audio errors are from the port and aren’t in the original game when played on a ps1 or a ps2
With the new software out there, Tomba´s levels can expand on verticality with more areas and sections of each world, because they were too short for my taste. And yes! the music, the weird lore, exotic design it´s the cherry of this game! God knows the world needs Tomba3
Great video man love to see more of these, I think they should remaster Nintendo 64 star wars episode 1 phantom menace pod racing! "ITS A NEW LAP RECORD!"
Hey! Did you see that the first Tomba is getting remade? As it stands, there's reportedly no plans to do the second one, but we can hope that changes, as long as it's done right of course. (=
This was a fantastic review. Thank you for this. I have vivid memories of this game from my childhood and agree with you on this game getting a remake, especially with regards to the music (I am an award-winning music composer and also have mixed feelings concerning music in remastered titles). I will be watching your Tomba 2 series and hope you get the chance to play the first game eventually, it's well worth your time!
Simple answer: YES WHY?: rekindling an amazing plot to this very vanilla generation. How: Don’t over do it with graphics just focus on the game play and keep the 2.5 D element. When: On October 2022 or 23 🙏🏽
One thing you should be aware is the Japanese version had good voice acting and different music. I hope if they do make a remaster, they should do a better English dub and even let us switch to old music if the new one doesn't work for us. (And switch to Japanese dub if we want too).
The bad voice acting and cheesy music is what makes the game what it is. It's like watching the toxic avenger and then trying to pick apart the plot. That's what makes it so charming.
I played tomba 2 so many times as a kid, sometimes I wish I could play it again, I've seen copies selling on ebay but because it's an old game people want like $300 for it... I would buy a ps1 or ps2 again so I can play it
Oh no my freind not good did you know that our Lord name is holy whould it be okay please to use instead that word Wow or something i can understand that its a habit yet my dear freind our life is affected by this word i dont want to that this happens thing of it each name is based trough life since we are baby till we live that s why church teach us to use his name in thanks giving and adoration since the begining sin entered to this world adam and eve by the devil s lie and till today is practiced same we are worshiping idols and so on wont go to much on this topic i want to say that our Lord will forgive you when we repent think of it our Lord can bring alot blessing into your life and piece when you come to him and obey 10 commandments but again that s still not how we belivers act there s anther thing to remember we are not saved by Faith or Works but by the grace again faith withoud works is dead we have to help each other help the poor that s where our Lord will aceept it because every time we help someone we are helping him because he entered in us by the baptism he can save us he s only way to the father because many religions started in babilon humans have made religions like islam hinduism budism shintoism all human inventions but only one can be true that is Christanity even so hinduism etc s older they are called wolfes think of wolf who take sheep what wolf do to sheep? they hunt just as hindusim hunt and destroy christianity saves life by the door and that door is our Lord Jesus trough him we have peace hinduism teach that you can be saved by yourself but that s not true hope this made sense there s alot books you can read by cs lewis about christanity and other think about to read some this will be helpfull not just for you but family you will have more peace when you start pray and see world diffrend way
@@sebo3e everybody has a free will to have a faith in something/someone they can relate to. Im from Poland, im an Atheist, and i respect all kinds of religion and i surely hope that everyone will respect anyone's religion they come into. That WORD is being named so many times by so many people and nobody can change it. By the way thats just Rage's video and we shouldnt discuss here over a topic like this. Big love ❤
and if they do remake it, for the song that plays during conversations, i think they could fix it by playing the same song in different keys to reflect the mood of the conversation or give it a twist to fit the theme of each area in the game
@@JackiesGamingArt That's brilliant. Unfortunately it's the one thing that seems to get on people's nerves about the game. I never even realized how repetitive it was until it was pointed out to me. Lol
Doesn't need to be remade, you can upscale it and add widescreen with beetle. Remaking it would just make it lose all of it's charm. This game wouldn't be the same if it wasn't in the ps1 style.

yes it should absolutely be remastered. tomba 2 is one of my all time favorite games.
It's happening they remastered it
It's just an HD PC port. And it's only the first game not Tomba 2.
NEVERMIND I JUST SAW IT!!!
Somebody needs to assemble all seven dragon balls and MAKE THIS HAPPEN! I NEEEEEEEEEED IT!!!!
IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY HAMMER IS SO BIG AND HARD RIGHT NOW GUYSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Fuck a remake, I want Tomba 3
i still have nightmares about the minigame. it took me 1-2 weeks as a child.

Both should be remade..
They're both fantastic games.
Remake it in the style of Rayman origins, and it would be a hit

Heck yeah!! I already got my new episode picked but I'ma add that one to the list fo sho
Tomba needs to be remade! It is a great game! BEEP BOP BOOP!
Fuck I love this game, I'll never not love this franchise
The absurdity of the game is what makes it such a sweet treat to this day.
Definitely earned my sub!
I'm currently designing a spiritual successor
A fan project?
I wish they'd bring it back, even if it's just a port. It's sad that the company got defunct
Now it needs a sequel

It's not getting remade, just ported to modern platforms. I made a video about it on my bonus channel: th-cam.com/video/PH_dAGDxBAs/w-d-xo.html
Gosh!
I grow up playing this on psx
One of bests psx games made
For sure!

Glad you enjoyed the review my dude. I definitely do plan on playing the first game eventually.
19:25 consider this: who sent the letter to Tomba? 😳
YES. I am a maniac fan and I would love these games to be remade. :D
Simple answer: YES

Oh god game of my childhood *-*
One of the greats!

Loved it sorry I didn’t make it I didn’t know it was coming on so early
tomba 2 sold less copies because there was a huge shortage of cd roms that year which resulted in it being hard to find.
yaaass! someone else whose only ever played the 2nd one and wants so badly for it to be remastered!
I keep telling myself if I had the power to get a group of fans together to remake it as a fan project, I totally would!
Yup! Only time will tell if we ever get one. And maybe one day I'll get around to playing the first game. xD
Also, speaking of the voice acting...my favorite line has got to be when they are raising the fishing net to make a bridge 😂😂
and if they do remake it, for the song that plays during conversations, i think they could fix it by playing the same song in different keys to reflect the mood of the conversation or give it a twist to fit the theme of each area in the game

Remastered 🥺

We need a Tomba 3. Not a remake.
Crash 4 didn't come out until they remade the first 3 games.. it would probably be the same for Tomba.
i love
Still waiting for that Tomba 1 play through 😅
ONE DAY! One day soon...
We wait🤣
Yes it should Be
My answer to your question is yes cause some other game we've seen we're remastered from the original take Crash and Spyro for example.
must be remade !!!
Tomba again? Ooooooo
tombi 1 tambien!!
Si, así como paso con la trilogia de crash bandicoot!
Anyone knows about caveman about this game?
