From what I understand, the reputation of Street Fighter: The Movie is based mostly on the arcade version developed by Incredible Technologies. It didn't play very well. But for the PSX and Saturn ports, Capcom essentially repurposed the Super SF2 Turbo engine instead of directly porting what I.T. had made. So if you play on console and think "hey this isn't too bad" it's because it's because it actually *is* a better game :)
That is exactly right. I get a lot of grief for what I said in this video, but I think that a lot of people are not aware that the arcade and Playstation versions of ST:TM are completely different games, and that as you said the PSX game is essentially Super SF2T with digitized graphics.
That's funny - I didn't remember much of a difference in gameplay when I played the arcade version arounf the time it came out, and I had played a lot of SF2 as a kid. I don't know, though, it was a long time ago.
abdulqudz89 looking back, I remember how difficult it was to get cheat codes. Had to buy gaming magazines or go to game stores and find strategy guides and write the codes down. Those were the days lol
Liquatic lol true i used to go to a grocery store krogers by my house just to get cheat codes...lol i would not even buy the magazine. ohh how i miss those times.
its actually a good way to describe how good a game was back then. if it was not even worth a rental , it was bad. it it was then it was decent and if you went and bought it then it was a good game.
if you rent total eclipse for family boy maybe he become intresting about sience. yeah sure rent ridge racer and sport games for kid then he become one of road rush type who want to chicks.
The PS1 really changed the game. First time I played it was with my cousins, who owned one. To this day I'll never forget the impression the intro left in me.
It sounds oriental/asian on the psx, reminding you what you have is japanese. The other playstation console startups were boring. A modem connecting was complete silence on my Dreamcast in 2001 as I waited another 20 seconds for phantasy star online to finally connect (and dread the next phone bill)
+Endrank luvs da 4 loco "In prison you are somebody's bitch. Oh, and you. You, my friend, would be da belle of da ball. Don't drop the soap! Don't drop the soap!"
I can remember i got mine Christmas 95 i was 14 and i couldn't believe the graphics . I only had 1 game ..... Wipeout but it was enough!!! it blew me away. I remember the demo disk as well .
The $299 pricetag of the PS1 was highly strategic. Sega held a long conference at E3 detailing the Saturn's internals and games and finished off with announcing the price... $399. RIGHT after that, someone from Sony stepped onto the stage, took a long pause and said one word into the microphone.. $299. With just one word Sony stole the show and all the news articles became about the PS1's cheaper price. True story. This was also the time Sega fans were pissed off with Sega. They had just forked out big bucks on the 32x and the MegaCD and now Sega wanted even more money for the Saturn. I love Sega but Sony know really well how to rain on peoples parade. Like when the xbone was announced and took out game sharing , then Sony immediately capitalized on it. haha
700gsteak Make a console that everyone can afford, make profit of the console a few months after or already at launch, moneyhat companies to get the very best games on the system. /Sony PS1/PS2 era style. I can totally see Sony doing it to Switch too. After E3 Sony went low key on PS Meeting and TGS, and no press conference at PGW either. It was the calm before the storm they waited out Nintendo to announce Switch. Games will always sell the system to gain more consumers. Hours before MH Direct someone leaked MHXX, MH5 and MH Portable. The real deal here is MH5 is getting a complete overhaul and is made for PS4. I can totally see Sony sign a contract. They know MH has grown in the West and wants to expand it even further for a wider audience. FFVIIR, DQXI weren't such a big deal to many but MH5 will cause a lot of salt I feel. SIEA's producer said to 8-4 Play Podcast that PSX will have lot's of Japanese surprises this year. Could this harm Switch's momentum? Stay tuned for PSX. Sony is very strategic again. Nintendo (Satoru Iwata) shouldn't have woken up the sleeping bear. Sony was bleeding with PS3 in the first four years on the market. They couldn't afford to moneyhat especially not with a hard programming hardware. Nintendo took the advantage of this. Whenever they got the chance they did it. Sony started to make profit in 2011 and it took them to PS4 launch to get back in the race. So in 2014 and 2015 they started to moneyhat again. SFV contract was signed in 2014. MH5 contract was signed in 2015. Most contracts have they made with Capcom and I can totally see why. Wouldn't surprise me if they made a contract for Onimusha's revival too. Don't forget about the deals with a mobile company like Cygames in 2014. Two high-end titles: Granblue Fantasy and Project Awakening. Sony is not playing around anymore. PS3 happened and it was a money sinker for the company. PSP ended up to be very popular in Japan mostly thanks to Monster Hunter.
Lord Tube Sony killed it and absolutely destroyed Microsoft at E3 2013. It was the ultimate E3 show in a very long time. I was also very excited about the new Xbox console but they gave millions one of the biggest middle fingers ever - always online DRM and no game sharing. It was also $499 with a mandatory Kinect system. It was simply god awful with bad news coming in every day after E3. During 2014 and 2015, that's when PS4 really took off for Sony by releasing quality third-party support. If the Switch doesn't get that kind of support, it's going to die and completely lose its market share when the next generation consoles are released in a few more years and that's all the time Nintendo has in order to sell dozens of millions of Switch handhelds.
I've found the cheaper system almost always wins, even if it's deceptive and ultimately costs more. This happened big time with the XBOX 360 where the core system was cheap, but online play required a yearly subscription, Wi-Fi adapters were $100, the hard drives were proprietary and expensive for a given size, many models only included a wired controller, you had to buy a premium model for HDMI output, and the hardware in general was very shoddy with everything from Red Ring of Death (which will happen to literally almost every single pre-Slim 360 eventually) to disc drives that would crap out or scratch discs. The only thing that was kind of OK was the XBOX 360 controller, but everything else was far, far worse than the PS3 and ultimately more expensive all things considered.
Coming from a third world country.. pretty sad to c how much I missed in gaming... I got my first ever consoles both PS4 and Xbox one .finally realised my childhood dream...!
you missed EVERYTHING in gaming except for the ps4 and xbox one, both of those consoles are the most recently released consoles of their console lines......
For sure..It is one of the few games I refuse to play again..Not because I don't like it, but because I don't wanna ruin the way I remember it, lol..I remember it as being this super detailed, super realistic, crazy combat game and I don't wanna meas that up. I'll just keep my rose colored nostalgia glasses on lol
I remember with Ridge Racer, once the race had loaded, you can take out the disc and put in a music CD and you would be able to race with whatever music you wanted.
+Anthony Garcia For some reason I can't reply to your comments, but rest assured that a TurboGrafx episode in the same vein as this one is definitely in the works!
I wonder if I have any privacy settings enabled preventing a reply. Anyway, thanks for the response! Your videos are fantastic and you deserve way more attention. I always watch your videos immediately before any others even you upload a new video. Thanks for your hard work!
***** I honestly can't remember where I got it. I believe it was one of those websites where a particular shirt design is only available for 1 day, though. I'm sure that if you look you can find someone else selling the same design, though. Thanks for watching!!
i probably already posted this, but summer 1995 was reading that very magazine of Game Fan trying to decide between ps1 and saturn. ended up being ps1. same feeling now, i was 19 and this got me back into gaming after falling out during high school. great memories.
I didn’t own a PlayStation until PS3 but I DID play PS1 growing up at my sister-in-law’s when she and my brother where dating; Resident Evil, Spyro, Crash, Metal Gear Solid, the original Tomb Raider...good times, indeed!
This video reminds me of how I discovered Rayman, 4 years late in 1999 when I was 12. Apparently my dad and then 5 years old sister went to the game store without me. She eventually chose Rayman and Punky Skunk because of the game's cover which look cartoon-ish, for me to play. I was kinda a bit infuriated on why my dad let my little sister chose kid games for me. Then when I started to progress in Rayman stages, damn i was wrong the it's a kid game! I died countless of times, frustrated and mad while my sister looked on, probably amazed by the cartoon games she picked. But I enjoyed both games for awhile before I entered junior high and play tony Hawk pro skaters, smackdown, Final fantasy etc. and both Rayman and Punky Skunk were left collecting dust, before finally abandoned PS1 for PC games in 2002. Ah well good old innocent days.
I got a PS1 for Christmas when I was in high school. I wasn't really excited about it; I didn't know about any of the games for the system and I was all about the RPG/adventure games for the SNES so I was really hoping for a Nintendo64 if anything (I hadn't really expected any game system since I knew they were crazy expensive). But the PS1 quickly became a big part of shaping me into what I am even to this day. FF7 and RE1, 2, and 3 were really big parts of my later high school years. RE2 was what got me into writing, which I still do regularly, and everything about FF7 screams out nostalgic perfection for me. I still have my original copies of those older games along with the origional controller and memory card I used in the late 90's when I played through all those games for the first time. I even have a bunch of games saved I was playing with friends I haven't hung out with in 20 years lol.
Resident Evil also made a tremendous impact on my creative writing when I was kid. I remember writing all these gory horror stories in middle school that were directly inspired by those games, but since I was a kid back then my stories were probably more like blatant Resident Evil rip offs lmao. But Resident Evil also helped shaped my artistic skills into the artist I am today as I used to draw all the monsters and characters from the games way back in my high school days...
The main reason Street Fighter the Movie was hated so much is because of the arcade version. The arcade version was beyond terrible, and used a brand new fighting engine that had nothing to do with any of the street fighter engines. The PSX version used a variation of the original SSF2 engine which made it A LOT more playable. It didn't look better than the arcade, but god did play better.
I remember playing Battle Arena Toshinden on a Japanese PS1 which was on an art gallery in NYC. I was really hyped for the PS1 which was still 4 months away from the USA launch. Ridge Racer was the best launch game ever. Sure it looks like crap now but you have to remember, this was the first 3D game with arcade quality graphics and music that most people ever saw!
+meatrace Same here! That's why I included it in the video. It actually really bummed me out when I got my PS2, and found that they had cut out the first half of the boot splash screen sequence when playing PS1 games. Thanks for watching!
some of my best gaming memories are Worms. Goldeneye. streets of rage. F zero. extreme G. Zelda ocarina of time. Mario karts. body harvest. time splitters 2. super mario world. shenmu. sonic the hedgehog. star fox. wave race. pilot wings. there's so many :)
I remember being amazed by Ridge Racer on launch, a fully realised 3d world and car that all moved so fluidly was a quantum leap over anything I'd played at home before. I've loved Sony and the Playstation brand ever since.
Every weekend during our UK lockdown I get pissed drunk talking to my friends over video chat. They fook off to bed and I watch this every Saturday/Sunday morning. So much love for the PS1 and this video never gets old. I remember the first game I ever played at my Uncles: Alien Trilogy :)
Martynas Andriušis you serious!? I thought that and Tekken were the main games on its release. Actually thinking about, Wipeout was made by a small (at the time) studio in Liverpool so maybe that’s why it was Europe only...
I remember this. I bought the PlayStation upon release. I still have my original PlayStation, games, and demo discs. When I first saw the commercial for this console my eyes widened and I said, I must have this! I fell in love. I've been a die hard Sony fan since.
I mean the mortal kombat games back then were complete trash. Don't really blame him. They were all about shock factor with every character being a carbon copy of each other minus a few special moves.
Jonathan Albertson what bias? I discovered both franchises at the same time in the early 2000s. I stand by what is said 100% the original mk games are fucking awful. Every character has the same normals, jumps, hit boxes, hurt boxes, speed, stamina, etc etc. only thing that separated mk characters gameplay wise was a few special moves. THATS IT. Despite coming out AFTER sf, mk manages to be a complete de-evolution of a fighting game
Definitely, people would make fun of me for playing Super Nintendo in High School when most juniors like myself were into PC gaming and would talk about sh*t like Wolfenstein 3D which I had no idea about, but aftet getting my PlayStation at launch no one in my school seemed to have one me being an early adopter, but after trying out Doom for the first time on a PlayStation and showing it off to my freinds who swore up n down it would never be as good as the PC, no one made fun of me anymore lol
Sorry, but you lost all credibility when you said you would rather play Street Fighter The Movie over any of the Mortal Kombat games. That might be the most idiotic thing I've ever heard in a RU-vid video.
It's not a matter of opinion; it's a matter of fact vs fiction. Was that comment made in jest? No video gamer in their right mind would say something like that unless is was inferred with a great amount of sarcasm.
Major Tom No, I wasn't joking at all. I think that Mortal Kombat is an over-rated series. The controls are stiff, the digitized graphics look just as crappy as Street Fighter: The Movie, and I think that much of the love that it gets from people such as yourself is fueled by nostalgia, as a lot of kids back then chose MK over SFII because they were attracted to the gore. I totally get that what I said is a very unpopular opinion, but I am always going to be honest on my show. You say that I lost all credibility by saying that, but for me someone loses all credibility when they say what people want to hear rather than saying what they really feel.
Classic Gaming Quarterly Thanks for the grammar correction. Much appreciated. The MK series is far superior to the SF2 series in so many aspects (controls, graphics, gameplay, replay value, game dynamics, storyline, etc.). While I understand your attempted point of the nostalgia effect, the SF2 nostalgia value is certainly not enough to overcome how poorly that series aged, whereas the MK series doesn't even need it. What you expressed is not an "unpopular opinion." What you expressed is analogous to claiming that the earth is flat.
The Playstation 1 was my first console as a Kid. My dad bought me Ridge Racer and Soul blade. I remember I was so amazed by the graphics I would play for hours everyday.
+pepperj Me too. That was one of my early PSX games. Probably doesn't hold up that well now, but is fun for nostalgia's sake, for sure. They should make a modern version of the game, but Psygnosis/SCE Studio Liverpool is gone now.
+Classic Gaming Quarterly Yeah a modern version would be great. I could see it as a 20 dollar price point and have it mainly multiplayer. Ya know, I'm gonna keep practicing with Unity and make it myself.
I wish somebody would make a new Road Rash. Road Rash, Road Rash 2, and Road Rash 3 were amazing. 3 wasn't the best but it was still good. Road Rash 2 was the best. If they made another Road Rash I would pre order it immediatly. I guarantee it would do well. I still jump on an emulator from time to time and play Road Rash 2.
There are like 3 Road Rash games for the PS1. One of which mimics the Mega Drive games, the other two are entirely 3D with no sprite riders and they swapped up the handling a bit. They are closer to Road Rash 64.
this was the last system my brother and I got as a gift, for Christmas, about 25 years ago. I forget off hand when FF7 came out, but thats when we got it. Still have all my original games I collected with it. Learned our lesson by then about trading games away.
I think street fighter the movie was a terrific game. I mean you have the opportunity to beat up Jean Claude Van Damme, I can hardly imagine few things better than that. Good video there by the way!
Hey there. I used to play it a lot back in the day. Like you said, the digitized characters resembled those of mortal kombat to many people, and since street fighter 3 didn't had any updates back then, people thought it was going to be a good idea to bash it anyway. Also, it is good to see another person to have hooked up with the ps1 ever since it was released, I live in a pal territory and back then we had carton boxes instead of long plastic ones. The USA ones looked and are much better, I even bought Resident Evil 1 in a longbox because it looks absolutely fantastic!
Japan has contributed a lot of enjoyment to my life. From the age of 8 until today. Nintendo, Game boy, Playstation, and my favorite cartoons. I'm sure there's far more coming out of Japan that I consumed for entertainment throughout my life.
I still remember convincing my dad to buy me the playstation for christmas by showing him a ncaa football game playable at Media Play (remember that store?) because it had his small division ii school Northern Iowa in the game.
Actually, I think the first ever product Sony (before they called themselves Sony) designed and manufactured was a home rice-maker in the late 50s. It was only after this that they moved into transistor based technologies like tape recorders, radios etc and became a technology giant.
Just imagine if that PlayStation that played both Super Nintendo cartridges and PlayStation CDs had actually been a real consumer product. My God, what a games library that system would have had!
On one side, we have Mario 64 and zelda ocarina of time, majoras mask, goldeneye, super smash bros, etc On the other, tomb raider, crash, metal gear solid, resident evil, ff vii, etc. And if you compare ps4 sales in its first two years, switch sales in its two years, you can tell they are pretty even
1995, was my 2nd year in the Air Force I was 22 and still trying to get more games for the Sega CD system. Once this system was released and all The Crash Bandicoot commercials were on TV constantly PlayStation became the new gaming love
I've been watching this video over & over. This is easily my favorite video on the tube (same goes for the channel) Something about the PsOne that feels so right. It's my absolute fav console of all time. I also agree about that Road Rash comment, wayyy overrated. The Raiden Project is sooo good!
Man, it really does it take ya back! Your mom sounds kinda cool 😎 haha..I gotta say though, I loved my N64. I had a blast playing Super Mario 64 and Goldeneye, especially Goldeneye with friends! That was a great time! Playstation had so many killer games though..You had Dino Crisis, Twistwd Metal, Syphon Filter, Metal Gear, Gran Tourismo, Castlevania, Spyro(one of my favorites), Crash Bandicoot, Oddworld, Driv3er(another one of my personal favorites) and soooooo many other killer games. I loved both systems when I was a kid and STILL have both of them to this day. They are both on my entertainment center and I still play both of them quite often..
Classic Gaming Quarterly Okay. You are correct. It came out a month after, but in your genesis launch overview I remember you added a game that was released shorty after launch.
Daytona USA for the Saturn was great. I got mine at launch and never felt like I had made a mistake, choosing a console that only 7 other people owned in the world. It was a double edged sword…sometimes Saturn games would be much cheaper than PS1 but the availability went from 1:1 to 1:25 and beyond.
Man, I loved Next Generation Magazine so much. It was sad to see it change into a mag more like all the other gaming magazines and eventually die. I had nearly every issue until I had to move years ago and didn't have room in my bags to pack it. Wish I still had those to read through old articles again.
you dont have to keep tapping the button to form a laser beam in raiden project project , you just have to hold the shoot button which also works on other powerups
Memories of depositing something like 100$/canadian at blockbuster to rent this badboy on the the weekend. Then playing Ridge Racer with my coach (my old man) and then street fighter where you first saw Adan, Rose, and R. Mika!! and so much more, but putting all my allowance ducats and more on this was well worth it. I was around 15 at the time :) love this video sir. Keep carrying on, CGQ rocks
Keep in mind that Tamsoft, the people who developed Battle Arena Toshinden, would later be most famous for making Senran Kagura and Oneechanbara. The names are too Japanese for many people to pronounce properly. By the way, Battle Arena Toshinden walked so that SoulCalibur could run.
Wow! I’ve been looking for Raiden/Raiden II for many years now because I played it on a computer when I was little and didn’t know what it was called. I loved that game!
I won't lie...as someone who grew up a diehard Mortal Kombat fan (and still am to this day) - that MK comment stung me a little, haha. Ah well - I still really enjoy your videos! Looking forward to watching more!
