The PlayStation can produce mind-boggling effects. 

love when grayfruit hears a fun noise and then immediately has to replicate it

Grayfruit might already know this, but the polygons warbling in the first three King's Field games is an effect shared by most original PlayStation games. It's due to the way the PlayStation computes the position for certain graphical features. It basically used a math function that was easier to compute but less precise under certain conditions compared to other consoles' 3D rendering.

I took actual physical damage when I said ‘MF DOOM’ out loud in perfect sync with the fruitman

For their distasteful calcium texture, lack of offensive initiative, derrivative presentation, and immediate irrelevance, I am displeased to express my strong disapproval of this video's Dull Skeleton award recipient, the ayy lmao skeleton (1) (1:26:50).

I love that the "He is dead" line carries through basically all souls games.

Hoyt Yeatman was the director for the G-Force movie, you know the one with the hamsters. What a life this man has lived.

No joke the upgrade from KF2 to KF3 is amazing, it's like you're actually playing a videogame now. Gotta miss that kind of technical advacenments from back in the day.

he’s done the “never heard of this game” bit before so many times and it still makes me chuckle

30:10 the Mind Boggling Effects of the Playstation finally take form. King's Field (II) was truly a technological feat

I already know this video is going to be absolutely terrifying

the golf saying "a tree is 90% air" is a joke/something you tell your mates to make them take a dumb shot, a ball will 98% of the time not go right through

An hour and a half of the fruitman? It sounds too good to be true.

Truly King's Field is a series. It's not necessarily a good series, but a series nonetheless and it is the progenitor of several of FromSoftware's greatest games, so I appreciate that Mr. Grayfruit checked them out.

I remember you asking if you could use that image as a thumbnail, been wondering when it would show up. The playstation can truly produce mind-boggling walks

That gargoyle cutscene was honestly super impressive given when it came out the clean texture change from stone to beast was actually really cool

Gexuma being hired to do edits for the main channel now? Goat

Really cool that Grayfruit is playing some of these indie games. Give an unknown company some spotlight. I hope they go on to make some really good games and Dark Souls 2.

Dear Grayfruit, There was this game I played as a kid called Tropix. It's a super chill game. I was just reminded of it the other day. Seeing you play it would make my month. Also I saw your Vod of this months ago. This is like the first time I actually see how long it takes for a stream edit to get made and uploaded. Love you and Lark Sincerely, Aiden

Imagine playing this on a 25 inch 480i CRT from 1990. I can totally see someone who's only experience in gaming was a Sega Genesis playing this and gushing over the MiNd BoGgLiNg graphics.

the Sex Compass in king's field 2 is truly a gaming innovation.

the skeletons running around aimlessly at 7:20 made me irrationally happy

I beat King's Field 1 and 2 with no walkthroughs since starting this video, gonna leave my thoughts here on KF 1 and 2 in this comment. King's Field 1 is like really impressive for a company's first game, it's kind of clunky and rudimentary, but it's got some real smart design chops at times, and the story while sparse in the beginning starts going a few interesting places that make up the bones for what ends up becoming a really solid story in later entries. Seeing the moonlight sword in its first incarnation was really a magical moment, and my only real criticism is that the game never explains that some swords have a magic attack if you press square at specific frames of your sword swing. King's Field 2 on the other hand is just impressive all-around, like there were moments that had me saying "this is amazing even by today's standards" where if you've got the patience to dig in and really interrogate each aspect of the game, you'll find a well of cool secrets, interesting lore, and weird plot twists that MAKE NO SENSE TO AMERICAN PLAYERS ON RELEASE BECAUSE THEY REFERENCE KING'S FIELD 1 WHICH NEVER RELEASED IN AMERICA. Also the localization is weird, the protag in KF1 is "John Alfred Forester" but in KF2 they refer to him as "King Alfred" and it gets even weirder in King's Field 3 because you play as his son but he's also referred to by his middle name??? Guy's named "Austin Lyle Forester" but they refer to him exclusively as "Lyle" is this like a royalty thing? And then also King's Field 3 has a prequel demo that released a few months after the game's release exclusively in japan which bridges the gap between KF2 and 3, only released at specific game conventions in a disc sleeve. This also has an english patch, but messes a few things up, like calling the king "John" and referring to the protag of KF2 as "Alfred" when his name was never Alfred, it was always "Aleph" or "Alexander" which made the transition from the demo into 3 extremely confusing, because there was suddenly this alfred guy in the throne? I had to look up John Forester's full name to figure out Alfred was referring to him. Anyway, I'll watch more after I beat KF3, wish me luck on my "Lyle" quest

grayfruit video longer than an hour AND edited by gexuma? holy shit this is gonna be good

Gexuma editing an official video for grayfruit is the greatest character development I’ve seen.

The thing I love the most about King's Field 1 is that it not only was FromSoftware's first game, but also their first game after transitioning from making office software along the lines of microsoft office with the founder, Naotoshi Zin, still at the helm who still works at the company to this day overseeing things and advising now president Hidetaka Miyazaki

47:47 the guy didnt walk into there, he was just minding his own business, and fell through a trapdoor he just landed perfectly into the seat

Some timestamps for the kids at home 0:00 King's Field 24:37 King's Field 2 56:02 King's Field 3 1:17:22 King's Field 4

The Grayfruit can produce mind-boggling sounds and emotions

Tbh I’m really sad kings field four didn’t get too much of a try. Obviously he was having fatigue from so much kingsfield. But it’s got some of the best storytelling and fun little environmental things everywhere that I think grayfruit would enjoy. Plus it’s exploration is top tier

So I just beat king's field 3. I think 2 is still my favorite, but 3 is a REALLY strong entry to me, both from a gameplay standpoint and as a cap-off to the story the three games were building. The convenience features like the item that shows an automap and the ZELDA MACGUFFINS doubling as teleporters to fountains that regen MP and HP was a GODSEND and some of the magic you unlock in the late game feels phenomenal. KF3 really does feel like an achievement for from software in my eyes. For example, you found the hidden shield room in KF3, but unlike 1 and 2, the hidden shield room also has ANOTHER secret door which leads to an empty room with *ANOTHER* secret door, and this leads to a hallway with a locked chest and a ceiling trap that drops a new skeleton, and then would you believe there's yet another hidden door in this hallway? But they don't even rest there because they also put traps in the walls that stab you with spears (I only found that last door thanks to a late-game secret reveal item, the spears did kill me). Even the magic system is expanded, with magic learned by leveling each individual element and having one more spell per element than the previous game. Everything is a one up on the previous game, up to the point that there's now three legendary swords, one for each game. I will say though that while I was going to get mad at grayfruit's comment at the start of 3 that "these games so far have not been that good" I realized that while I enjoyed them, I also kept bouncing off king's field 1 back before I was put on adderall, something about it was fascinating enough to pull me in but couldn't keep my patience. Then again, this video was the entire reason I decided to load up king's field 1 and finish it in the first place. What I will say is that the biggest motivation for playing one of these games is knowing exactly how good the game gets in the final hours. It's harder to sell this for KF1, but 2 and 3 really hit the highs we expect of modern from software, with the gameplay options expanding, the environments becoming easier to navigate, HP and MP regen becoming a regular late game buff. I decided I'd stream king's field 4 though so I don't burn myself out on it like I did with the first 3 games for a bit, this is fine as I've got plenty other retro fromsoft games to play on my own time. I really do love these games without any asterisks or clauses, and I'm glad this video gave me the motivation to complete them. now that I'm confident my comment has gone below the read more limit, skill issue grayfruit skill issue neener neener you got skeleboned get skeleboned

I looked it up and King's Field was FromSoft's first game. They made PC software before branching into the video game world. For a launch title on PS1 this is impressive

Texture warbling is such a classic ps1 thing that I find it charming

The first King's Field game reminds me of those obscene minecraft modpacks if they were running on a business laptop

Gexuma edit! Crazy how far they have come from fan edits to this.

King's Field is literally the fucking backrooms. From the long winding hallways with sparse hostile creatures and tired humans populating the dungeon, to the giant gap at the end of that section of this video looking like something directly out of the Backrooms webseries that's currently running. Holy shit

I clicked bc it had my favorite image of stepping guy

Had never heard of this series until now! Really gotta hand it to Mr. Fruit and his ability to simultaneously provide history/insight about obscure video games and being one of my favorite personalities to listen to/watch do stuff!

The fruit enters the realm of the forgotten FromSoft games at... Wait what? This is not a VOD but a *video?* Alright, he still presents us this shit games at 0:01

Well fucking done, Gex. This editing is fantastic

I’m tired as fuck on a Friday afternoon and I thought the title said the Graystation and I thought it was gonna just be gray doing a magic show

these are most certainly mind-boggling effects.

Super hyped to see official gexuma content on fruit channel, heres to the future, boys

*swings sword* *turns into goblin*

I love gray. He is one of the few people to actually make me laugh out loud. such creative video ideas too. Thank you for the content :)

King's Field 2 actually looks kind of fun. Clunky, sure, but it looks like it would be entertaining. Love the deep fried death screams 😂

god I love kings field so much genuinely one of my favorite games, it's just so fucked up it loops back around into being relaxing

Gexuma has an amazing super star saga edit playlist, that everyone who loves the fruit should see.

Shoutout to Gexuma for doing dope Grayfruit highlights and also this dope video.

Kings Field is like, the default videogame to me. Like it's the most Videogame videogame, for better and for worse.

This is the Dark Souls of Dark Souls

The scariest part of King's Field is the tank controls.

loved this introduction to elden ring ahd stormveil castle, thank you for the guide mr joestar

I feel like most of the texture jank back in the day was unnoticed with the fact most people played on the classic box tv

my mind is boggled

There is a From Software game called eternal ring, it's pretty much elden ring but king's field gameplay

The faceless, vaguely humanoid caricatures you come across in these games bring to mind LSD: Dream Emulator more than anything particularly 'Soulsy'.

new video for my favorites list thank you! will be rewatching for sure

Wait is Gexuma officially "employed" by Grayfruit Inc now?

18:01 This weed song gives me life. Him mimicking how older games just pitch up and down a single vocal sample is what makes it for me.

30:12 when mass attack first came out, I would literally just listen to this song on loop, and when it just reappeared as a meme a decade later, I just recalled the whole song from memory and I had no clue how I knew it lol

I've been binging the hell out of Lark Souls, this came at a perfect time

oh shit, I made that thumbnail! glad you liked it, man!

The illusory wall at 41:47 Is reminiscent of the ballista room basement in the forest of fallen giants

Fruit man starts the second game with no expectations at all, but I think is the game he vibed most with

Holy shit this was edited by Gexuma?!? Love his stuff! Glad to see him getting some recognition

something really awful happened on my way back home so i'm super grateful that mr. grayfruit dropped a feature length video to distract me, i really needed it

I'm fairly certain that the King's Field 3 is voiced by Matthis Bossi the Isaac Narrator and this is scary

Yoooooo! So glad to see Gexuma on the main channel!

11:22 Who could blame him? He doesn't have eyes or even a face. He communicates with an aura that makes people hallucinate text

i really love how primitive these graphics are... the same console that brought us Nightmare Creatures, Metal Gear Solid and Crash Bandicoot

grayfruit raising an eyebrow on the strafe movement being the triggers reminds me of Daggerfalls skeevy ass movement controls like who makes the AD is WASD *turn* left and right, and not actually just move that way?? ik it's old PC game philosophy of what movement was supposed to be in a FPS but yeugh

New Fruit? One and a half hour? Edited by the queen herself Gexuma? You guys are spoiling us

grayfuit

I love how the cutscenes in early ps1 games where just 2d pictures that they made in a 3d environment

My mind has been 100% certifiably boggled by this video

great work Gexuma, big proud! :D

Ross from Friends: this guy’s PlayStation can produce mind-boggling effects

epic john walk thumbnail

i had been waiting for this edit since i watched the vods of these games months ago, something about you going through these games is so perfect to me

King's Field 3 gravedigger has been added to list.

Why did that sound like the disclaimer for the effects of pharmaceutical drugs on a commercial, in the beginning of the video

My mind is officially boggled.

I would love to see the reaction of the developers of the first and second games to how grayboi responded to the these. They would probably feel so much pride seeing him go from hating the first game to having a genuinely good time with the sequal.

finally a game that captures the true essence of the skeleton

I really hope you'll play Shadow Tower: Abyss eventually as well. Imagine these games, except you had modern automatic rifles and pistols.

YOOOO OFFICIAL GEXUMA EDITS LFG

Yo Gexuma on main, let's goooo. Grats fam..also nice vid fruit man

ok cayfruit now play the entire armored core series

i love how gray just pulls the best shaggy impression ever right out of his ass

With the power of the PlayStation Jerma might be able to finally cross into our realm and become a real boy

from soft made a ps2 game called evergrace that is kinda like a 3rd person kings field with better controls and wack music, i really like it and it's pretty short so i think that could be a cool stream if you're interested. there's also a indie game on steam called lunacid that is based on kings field that's pretty cool but its still early access so some areas aren't finished.

In the second game I couldn't get over the random sound of steel bars being dropped just because of how out of place it is.

My mind is boggled.

You mention it a bit at 1:03:44, but that's not entirely true, all of the games utilize the long corridors to load the next area, that's why there were so many long and slow hallways in the previous games. It was one of the first games to not really have any loading screens unless you fast travel (via the Star Gate in the first game, or Ichrius items in the second) I have these on PS1 still and play them from time to time and you don't really get the "loading freezes" like here, I think that's an issue with the emulator. This was the first game I ever played, I still have a guide I printed off like, 15 years ago from GameFaqs and always took pride when I knew more than the guide, as if it wasn't just written by some random dude

I was gonna go watch the king's field 1 VOD again for the hilarious jank and I got this recommended.

He doesn't know he has a skeleton inside his body

1:22 SIR FRUIT?? ARE YOU OKAY??

Kingsfield 2 (1 for America) looked pretty fun. I'd play it or watch someone do a full playthrough of it. The other two not as much

another banger edit from Gexuma

I thought he was going to say that his guy's hitbox was the size of a king's field.
