Another World Hi-Res Intro

[@middle-agedclimber]

The most iconic and memorable intro ever. Nothing will ever beat this. If you weren't a kid back then you won't understand the impact it had.

[@Zatracenec]

This and Flashback. I love these games.

[@expandranon]

Now that I'm older, I've come to realize that the most outrageous thing about this game was a research scientist having the dosh to afford a Ferrari.

[@CyberLink70]

expandranon That's outrageous?

[@kurrukk878]

Yes

[@xpez9694]

Its simplistic fantasy for a teenager which puts this genius kid on the level of a Elon Musk.. I appreciate how simple stories are just effective enough to capture your attention. kid drives up in his Ferrari at his lab. Runs experiment. Freak lightening strike sends him into another world..LOL short efficient premise is all we need to start playing the game. I love it!! LOL

[@НиколайТодоров-и9т]

@@xpez9694 Yes, Musk was my association too

[@ghostridertom]

A few patents and good investments, here you go 288 GTO ;-)

[@gabrielegagliardi3956]

A lot of people find Blender, Maya or cinema 4d hard to learn, imagine making this animation with basically 0 tutorials or resources. This a golden example of discipline at its finest, Eric Chahi made everything alone: artwork, animations, programming. The guy is a genius.

[@Trikipum]

to be fair, the music was made by another guy, and the music is what makes this intro so good. It has this "end of the world" vibe, typical in the 90s.. similar to the vibe of terminator and the like..

[@rushnerd]

Still one of the best intro movies ever of any game.

[@JimSting]

Probably the most atmospheric intro for a game ever. I used to boot it up on my Amiga just to watch this intro!

[@MarekUlicnyCZ]

And you could fit the whole game on 1.44 MB floppy disk. 😲 Masterpiece!

[@Milkymalk]

Amiga disks only had 720 kb!

[@AIex_Kidd]

How about SMB in just 40kb 😱

[@Adino1]

This game blew me away in 1991, when I was 11 or 12.

[@ghostridertom]

Same here :-) 11 or 12

[@SamuelBlack84]

I was 7 😊

[@Nine-Signs]

Every single frame is worthy of hanging up as artwork.

[@vickbernadas]

The best intro❤

[@hisgreasiness]

I absolutely loved this game! It captured my imagination at a young age, like no other game could. With an immersive story and without any dialog needed, I felt for the characters. Games like this stand testament to the need for great storylines and imaginative atmospheres, as opposed to ramped up graphics or Hollywood esque cutscenes, for making a video game memorable and a great experience to play.

[@N0eWats0n]

I definitely could have not described this game better than you did. I also had an incredible experience with this game during my childhood. Greetings!

[@iomenestrello]

00:20 where is the ceiling on the right? I see only a ravine. That blew my mind when I was a child

[@predjee]

still best intro ever

[@RationalDischarge]

I thought I was the only person who appreciated this game! What a suspenseful, atmospheric, and undeniably "cinematic" experience playing "Another World"/"Out of This World" was!

[@DJ_Papi_Luna]

One of the best games I ever played in terms of the atmosphere!

[@flyingskyward2153]

Never played this game but this intro sequence came on a magazine coverdisk and it impressed me a lot at the time. I'd never quite seen anything like it before.

[@Lord_friki]

18 years ago, my god. You were pretty a pioneer in the platform! Funny thing to find videos this old still uploaded.

[@SamuelBlack84]

I remember being a kid when this game was released, and the graphics combined with the electronic music was mind-blowing It was like seeing the future Good times

[@JunkMaleClothing]

Ahhhh, memories.... one of the greatest games of all time...

[@BreathingAir]

Uploaded 17 years ago!

[@Wannabe_Baby]

And I'm happy it's still getting comments! Thanks a lot. :)

[@steveoz32]

Fantastic, I remember when seeing this intro and playing this game for the first time that I thought that GFX couldn't get any better!

[@elf_prince_aefion]

This was an awesome game, one of the great games of our time that paved the way for action adventure platformers.

[@joew9690]

Thank you Eric Chahi

[@zaxapitsa]

MASTERPIECE

[@nostyleja]

Yup, this is the first video I came to see this morning after the CERN reminder. This game is immortal.

[@Jarrah31]

awesome, thanks man - this is such a trip back to the good old Amiga days.

[@HollyGameShow]

CERN before it was cool

[@jacedjohnson3541]

A Voz de Azeroth what is cern?

[@sym667]

Thanks man, I loved that game. It was absolutely amazing for that time....

[@pancon5]

I was 10 or 11 when I first saw Another World's intro and the game's first few screens on an Atari ST, and I was mightily impressed. So well made eerie atmosphere.

[@AngelHalo017]

This game unites us all, brother.

[@k0kane]

Man I loved this game! Cant believe I just rememberd to KZbin it now and see whats around on it. Sweet! Are they gonna make a movie of this or what ? :D

[@MannPower]

I remember when I beat this a loooong time ago. My brother and I had to use level codes and walkthroughs that we downloaded from BBS's (pre-commercial internet days, lol.) After trial and error on every level, we finally figure everything out and played it through. Took us about a week in '92.

[@inferno7654]

Thank you so much for this video, i really appreciated the flashback :) I loved this game on my amiga 1200

[@MrChaosmarine]

this is a great intro, I really hope they do a remake of this for PS3, 360 or PC with today's graphics. Another World (AKA Out of this World) was one of my fave games of all time

[@Rareamos]

Oh que genial que lo hayan vuelto a hacer, es una de mis series que más me interesaron un poco de interplay.

[@starwind3438]

Yes please. Your stuff is amazing.

[@Bremblin]

This game had to have been the very beginning of my gaming experience.....I remember

[@surge123456789]

0:06 is that one of those Tesla Cyber Trucks? It's just so hard to tell the difference with dem graphics.

[@sparkss4]

I must have watched that into a hundred times.

[@SavageArms357]

@MangoZapp I agree. There's just something special about these old titles...They have a soul. If you haven't played it already, I highly recommend Gemini Rue, amazingly atmospheric, and a well told story.

[@defragen1]

After many many years I realize the main character from Another World is Bob Lazar!!!

[@PeyserCommodore]

E-P-I-C! One of the coolest action-adventure games ever! Though it was quite short, it was pretty tough to beat.

[@zadeh79]

Arguably, the most under-rated game.

[@Evildood89]

this is one of my favorite games of all time :B

[@Gojiro7]

without the context of the actual gameplay, it looks like that guy just straight up dies rather then getting teleported to another world XD

[@Luckycrow69]

Man i remember this game. Crazy time😊👍

[@robertleeluben]

Great game blew everyone's socks off when it was new.

[@The242511]

720p video from 2006 wow

[@GlinB]

YES ! KZbin is strange...

[@MannPower]

This is actually the Collector's Edition, which was released two years ago. Do a google search for it, it can be purchased online for about 10 bucks. Eric Chahi increased the resolution and touched up the backdrops. Looks more beautiful than ever, now.

[@Tolstoievsky]

this game is fantastic, the stuff dreams are made of.

[@Pipemould]

I remember buying this for the 3DO (RIP), great game. Thanks for the memories.

[@Makhach]

One of the best games EVER

[@Willber99]

Truly amazing!! :O

[@ThaFunkster100]

Cool indeed. I remember that this was one hell of an original game, and I can also remember it being cold and frustratingly hard.

[@Norman_Peterson]

ancora oggi resta il gioco più bello mai fatto.l l'intro più bella il gameplay più bello. Tutto fatto da Chahi, quando era SOLO un ragazzino. Per la serie quando i ragazzini facevano cose serie invece di pubblicare cazzate su you tube! spettacolare!

[@eldorado303]

me and my cousin used to play this. it was lots of fun.

[@Jabberwoc]

*Nothing beats an Amiga 1200 with 5 daisy chained floppy drives.*

[@gravballemandendk]

+Mark Woods An Amiga 1200 with a harddrive mabye ;)

[@321cheeseman]

I believe this is a special edition of Another World created by Eric Chahi himself for the game's 15th anniversary, which features higher resolution background graphics. And yes, because polygons are used to render the characters, nothing had to be changed there. Just a resolution increase.

[@MarkTheMadMan]

I loved this game, i remember the intro graphics where like OMFG graphics back in 1991, i loved this game!!

[@AlienGenotype]

This game used to mystify me as a kid, i owned the game but could never complete it. Today i finally completed this game, the 20th anniversary edition on IOS/Iphone

[@ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

That's why mother always said never use a colider during a thunderstorm.

[@wiccan999]

nice to see this again, loved the game too....funny how the experiment looks alot like what CERN is doing right now lol.

[@JesseP.Watson]

Well I've had a year to think about it ;). I reckon it hangs on something me old dad said when I was drawing as a nipper: leave some lines out...leave some gaps for the imagination. The job of the graphics in games is, I'd say, to suggest something to the player's perception. Life-like rendering stays in front of the eye but something that only 'suggests' a form can sneak into the subconscious and spark recognition... like a kid with a stick - the possibilities are endless.

[@father042]

Thank you, LGR!

[@Mookmaista]

Yeah, I think people get caught up with making things look realistic, manage aspects of gameplay, choose voices, and all that, that they end up not having time or focus on a true story. It's hard to find a game that treats itself as a movie or as a book, which is quite upsetting.

[@CampionBun]

Seriously thanks.

[@nostyleja]

I believe it was also cited that for ICO, Ueda was also inspired by Jordan Mechner's original Prince of Persia release.

[@leek67]

yeah me too Angry joe brought me here as he is playing the reboot of flashback remember that one mate that is another goodie but oldie.

[@dia8elle8aid]

World never will be the same without Amiga 500 ;( Nostalgy! Amiga will be in my heart 4 ever... Another World is one of the best games ever! unbeatable!

[@rushnerd]

Doesn't feel right without the Genesis sounds/music. How was this done at all though? Was it from the ground up or did someone figure out a way to render all the polygon-type graphics at a different resolution?

[@MrPipilotecai]

juegon! era mas dificil que rascarse el ojo con el codo pero que titulazo, amiga siempre nos dio los mejores titulos del mercado mientras estuvo vivo, grandioso recuerdo que guardo de él

[@Cryten1974]

@lordsofkoble It was Eric Chahi's wishes that there was to be no sequels to Another World, but they did make Heart of the Alien (Eric Chahi had nothing to do with the sequel) as I said, he wanted it left with just the single game and for the gamers to come to their own conclusions to what happened after the Alien and Lester leave on the big Pterodactyl type monster

[@RasputinStream]

Just downloaded the Hi-Res PC Version. Even it owes a lot to "Prince of Persia" and "Dragon's Lair" its still definitely belongs to TOP 5 classics ever.

[@SalientBen]

still looks stunning, still makes me want to reach for my quickshot pro :D

[@krashd]

If I was a director I would love, LOVE, to make a movie of Another World featuring CERN. But I imagine they'd never allow it seeing as there is enough controversy around the LHC already without someone releasing a movie about a particle accelerator accident... Lester arrives at CERN in his Ferrari in the pouring rain, it's 1:06AM, he runs past the statue of Shiva holding his jacket over his head and into the main lobby, it's empty, he greets the lone guard and exchanges small talk in French and shows his ID. Downstairs he enters a minor control room knowing that he'd find a certain colleague and asks, this time in English, "Have your guys put the SPS back in the collider? I fancy another bash at our theory." He is told the synchrotron is free until the following night. Further downstairs Lester walks across the floor of the cavern that contains ALICE, the machine is mid-refurbishment and cranes and jigs and hoists are holding enormous parts of the complexity 30 metres above him. He doesn't have to go this way but prefers the elevator down to ALICE over the 8 flights of stairs that leads to his office by the face of the SPS. It's 1:16AM and the rain above is turning into a storm...

[@Fenris77]

This was one of the very first of it´s kind!

[@soulhunger1]

Whoa, I don't remember there being an intro. Awesome.

[@gr4ndv1ll3]

Well, you needn't continue doubting and disbelieving because, luckily for us, the Japanese did both know about and own plenty of Amigas just as they own plenty of Apples and Dells and HPs today (while we in the west own Sonys and Matsushitas). But getting back to the software end of things, I must say that AW, Ico, and SotC are easily in my top ten games of all time. I would love to see Chahi return to creating new games and inspiring many more brilliant Japanese and western developers alike.

[@stars004]

this is a legendary game i like it

[@Fuchsia_tude]

@Guest1001 Also, the original creator wasn't involved in the sequel at all.

[@Chentzilla]

@SuperNESFreak I know the hand, but pink nose? Suspended lift? Where should I look for those?

[@physix3001]

I love Out of this World on SNES!

[@MannPower]

Not sure. I had the original PC version and it was Peanut Computer even then. Then again, it might have been changed for all versions after the initial amiga release.

[@WintersKamp]

Wow!!! The experiment resembles the CERN project!!! (haydron collider)

[@V742]

@EuphoricFigure Maybe a particle thingy to make lasers. Though then the aliens beat him to it...

[@PrometheusWithLight]

@SharrkyX Yes. I used to own it, but my dad hawked most of the SNES games when we got the 64. Such a bitch, I loved this game.

[@ALXD1974]

coolest game ever....thereis a remake for pcs available in low price.....also the old version included...

[@callofdutyguy9]

Guys listen to the music at 1:00 and the listen to the Crysis 3 main theme. Very similar

[@Blackan]

@Nintendoom911 Interestingly, the Creator of ICO got inspired by this Game to make ICO, did you know that?

[@chindleymuffin]

This was one of the first games that I thought would've made a great movie, but no doubt if it was made by made by Hollywood they would screw it up so it doesn't resemble the original game. If not a movie, then a TV series would be great. I would watch it!! I loved this intro and I remember being VERY impressed at the time, I still am now! This gives me goosebumps just watching it, the game was hard in places though and I never finished it. This would be trippy on the Xbox360 as a remake!

[@leebartlam1979]

the car screeching into scene made me jump big time. headphones and high volume...

[@claudismad]

i've wrote a post title "Another World, the videogame that saw LHC" :)

[@jmm1233]

Great Artwork Considering They Made This On An Amiga , I Remeber Using The Cell Polygon in making artwork , those were the days :)

[@Jaeger0606]

@Guest1001 They need flashback in high res too

[@DarkShroom]

i seem to rember actually completing this one, anyone rember the flooding caves? bloody hard

[@determinismo7771]

I still remember the first time I played this game on my old 286, Ii was very late in my room, everything on black but my 256 color 16 monitor and my sound system lights, put the game into the diskette bay and that intro.. just wow, the game blew my mind away at that time, i think still does today. Saludos!

[@SolidMike84]

@babyoilnhand There you have it Another World/Out of this world
