I feel Tekken 2 is the true emotional heart of the franchise at a base level. Clearly even Sakurai from smash thinks so as he chose to introduce Kazuya to the game with “emotionless passion”.
subbed, really well paced genuinely funny presentation. hope to see the channel grow. i always come back to tekken 2 for the vibes; especially the ethereal, melancholic and ominous parts of the ost. great art direction + doomed character arcs and an intangible mystique helped this one age very well. later entries improved gameplay mechanics but there's a brash tone i don't feel as much. le nostalgia.
The physical/special split was great, the cross-gen evos were great, but I alwyas thought Sinnoh was a shit region, the worst introduced up until that point easily. HGSS on the other hand, ohh boy, what unbelievable games
I wish the developer team would create a tekken as 4 from time to time instead of spamming basically the same game over and over just to catering the hardcore fans This game was a breath of fresh air and unexpected change of direction even at the time of it's release. I know that the opinion of some fans even back then were very divided. For me T4 always felt like it tried so hard to be the a "Dead or Alive 3" clone than a Tekken... from a design and aesthetically standpoint it was a masterpiece
The gameplay sucked though. I mean, it did become a defensive tactical affair, with a lot more punish than actual aggressive play. Nice try, but tekken 5 did it so much better
Seeing that pristine DS at the beginning of the video is so nostalgic. You can’t find them ANYWHERE. If you wanna by a DS system second hand it’s always a 3ds variant. And it’s usually the upright wedge form. I miss the DS so much. That was easily the most fun Nintendo product.
I certainly appreciated Origins for finally giving us the original Genesis trilogy AND CD together in one piece (plus COME ON, those Tyson Hesse animated bits are perfect in their own right), but yes, my memories with Mega Collection are part of why my early-mid teens were such a golden time for me.
ive been talking about how tekken 4 was the best game in the franchise for over a dacade to my friends who never played it. my jaw hit the floor when i found out the FGC considered it one of the worst. So refreshing to see another who loves and appreciates tekken 4 for what it is! gave us the best music in the series and best story hands DOWN. every single character has a reason for why theyre fighting so hard and we see and FEEL it within the game.
Diamond/Pearl weren't that good to me but Platinum really saved Sinnoh. The slowness of Diamond/Pearl & a very limited roster were horrible. Fire types in particular suffered not to mention new evolutions & most Pokemon were post-game. Real shame that Nintendo is so against emulation/rom-hacks, unless they're doing & profiting from it, for old games as they really are a great way to improve/enjoy old games.
Mega collection plus will always be better than the GameCube version imo. Better menus, more games, better menu music, better extras. MC Plus is just superior, don’t let nostalgia blind you from what’s actually better
this video is awesome in Many aspects but i'd suggest going a little less crazy on the saturation since it crushes the art direction of the game (for example, the scenes with jun make her look jaundiced lol). also, if you're gonna upscale the fmvs, try not to generate extra frames for them since it makes everything look worse overall. same with stretching to 16:9. other than that this is a pretty good video, you've a lot of potential! keep at it
Saying "Sonic Free" instead of 3 irks me way more than it should. You can make a whole new syllable if you just put your tongue between your teeth and just blow 😅 I try enjoyed the retrospective though.
I don’t give a damn about sales, or competitive…viability??? Whatever the word is. Tekken 4 had the best stages, the best soundtracks, the best story, he’ll probably the best character designs too. Tekken 4 Steve, Jin, Yoshi, King, Xiauyou, Paul-all absolutely iconic. And sure the gameplay itself isn’t as good as Tekken 5 but it’s still post-2 Tekken so it’s still great gameplay. Add all that and you get an absolutely S tier fighting game
Tekken 4 made some huge stylistic gambles and stuck to them rigidly. The jazz-fusion soundtrack and the pastel colour pallette defined that early era of PS2 gaming ❤ I'm really glad the game is getting its retrospective day in the sun ☀️
just ended my very first pokemon pearl gameplay, i never had any ways to buy a DS myself as a child when the game came out, i just used to hear people talk about and show me parts of the game, bro.... what a perfect game, ofc it have the fps issue and the slowdowns, but i really appreciated that with my heart, i will play platinum in future to see if it really much better as people say, nice video bud! liked the edit, your voice is nice and is noticeable your love for this, i hope you alredy did the video about the remakes from gen 2 on gen 4, i'm going to search and watch
You look at tournament footage of T4, and it's clear the players could do jack shit in the game. Block a punch or eat it because KBD is no more. It's like noob games today. Now I'm hitting,next you are hitting and so maybe a low but oh that's so unsafe.
I have played the original Crash Bandicoot so much that I don't have a problem with the controls, despite prefering the controls of the second and third game. If I had to pick an overall best game of the PS1 trilogy, I'd say 2 for the improved controls and the lack of gimmicky stages compared to 3, besides the hover craft and jet pack ones. But the original's structure of fighting your way through the islands, through the jungle, temple ruins, power plants, the lab etc. It was just a nice visual variety that made sense in the context and I really appreciate this over the later installments. The bridge levels are unironically some of my favorites. I love the setting, the music and I love the challenge it provides, even though I dont think they are hard anymore. I always found it amusing how much people hate those levels and rage over them, but I completely understand why. Crash 1 is my personal favorite in many aspects, despite its flaws. Crash Bandicoot as a whole is probably my favorite platformer franchise due to the stages being more of a obstacle course, rather than a massive playground with only a few things to overcome in it. The music slaps and the cartoony animations just makes it like an interactive cartoon and the low poly look just charms the everliving F out of me.
