[@colonless7512]

The fact that they could fit as big of a map on a 64 cart is pretty amazing. Seems like they made a lot of design choices around that with limitations but this looks really ambitious, it’s a game that definitely springboarded other games.

[@starpetalarts6668]

Specifically it springboarded the engine for Grand Theft Auto III.

When I was a kid one of my cousins had this game but I was not allowed to play it because after I played it I would have these crazy nightmares about the aliens where I would wake up crying I would still play it though but I'm pretty sure this game is the reason I don't like bugs I also have a weird fear of really big things. Regardless this game was really cool and nostalgic.

[@GovernorPemulis]

This is the one I've been waiting for, as I played this game a lot as a kid but never beat it, so the fact that you posted this while I'm stuck at home with a broken foot AND it's 50 minutes long really brightens my day.

If you are wondering why the black soldier is calling you brother. He is a clone of Adam Drake (the protagonist), if you watch the intro cinematic, your character gets shot in the arm and one of the aliens harvests some of the blood you left on the floor.

[@In_Silico]

Dude this game went right over my head when I was a kid. Me and my friend used to sit in his parents expedition and play pretend body harvest, pretending to drive around and shoot aliens. We liked the game but it was kind if too hard lol

This was one of my favourite games on the N64, and watching this video reminds me why. The whole feel of it was so vast, unlike anything I'd played before. But like you, I spent a lot of time re-treading old ground, due to sparse save points. If that hadn't have been the case, I wonder if this would be commonly heralded as one of the greats of its time. I dont think it sold a lot either, though. I found it for just £15, new, seemingly not long after it's release.

[@syncmonism]

It was made by the same studio who made the Grand Theft Auto series. This game was, in many ways, a prototype for GTA 3, which was the first 3d open-world version of GTA.

[@snbks4ever]

Just wanna say I love this series!! Body Harvest was pretty ambitious for it's time and being on the N64 and enjoyed the almost hr long reaction. Can't wait for Turok, a classic

[@TheRealLink]

Stumbled across this randomly. Man, great commentary and play through! I remember being stuck on this game so much growing up and I couldn't ever figure out the part right past the 1966 ramp jump as I'd either be out of ammo or my body count too high and out of vehicles. Cool to see that there was much more to go after that point.

[@AG-ld6rv]

I'm writing this in response to your observation that it is pretty incredible this open-world game was created for the N64 and runs so well. The interesting thing about video games is it can be pretty tough mental work to program them efficiently. A lot of small shops of super interested, nerdy types made a lot of well-coded video games back in the day, likely using tons of advanced mathematics and programming tricks to get them to work on the hardware of the day. At that time, basically anyone coding was pretty serious about it and pretty talented. There weren't tens of thousands getting into the field without passion, getting hired wherever they can. These were serious, high quality programmers mostly. They made every N64 game in assembly for Pete's sake (some C or C++ may have been used at times). It's why games back in the day often did so much with so little. They had the talent and that talent were self-motivated and interested in the problem space. The problem these days (bad PC ports, ahem) is say you are a rockstar programmer. Well, a lot of people who work hard are motivated by making money. They're going to do great, hard work either way, so they may as well make the most money doing it. This rockstar can go work for a place like Google where his career has the sky as the limit - bigger and bigger projects servicing tens or hundreds of millions of requests need to be designed by such a rockstar, and they can get paid stuff like US$1 million a year or more to do it. Say, you work for Google for 10 years and eventually end up designing huge portions of a sophisticated cloud service that will need to have all the bells and whistles like nearly constant uptime, quick / efficient APIs, smart techniques to reduce computer costs to run the code, etc. You end up making something like US$500,000-US$1,500,000 a year depending on just how difficult the role was and how much of a rockstar you've been so far. So here is the problem: A lot of the best programmers head to shops like these to make the most money they can, which is understandable. They might do that even if they have an interest in coding video games / their engines / working with cutting edge graphical techniques, because money is important to people. The end result is some sliver of programmers, perhaps not the best and not the worst, end up getting hired by big studios to work on video games. Some are super bright and hardworking with the power to see their vision of the project come true - you then get a game that looks incredible and runs better than worse-looking games. Other times, someone less of a rockstar does the work or part of it, and you get more bugs, more FPS dips, less FPS total, fewer modern/sweet graphical settings, etc. It's sad that the best programmers are not given equal pay whether they choose to make game engines or cloud services for Google. That's their going rate, and they've proven they deserve it often with decades of intense experience and success. Some might choose the cloud route even if the pay were the same, feeling they are impacting society more developing something that powers hundreds of software companies instead of making an engine that powers a few video games. If I were in charge of the development of a AAA title, I'd hunt out these self-motivated, talented, immensely experienced, hardworking programmers that are simply the best. I'd attract them with big salaries. I'd then have them work closely with the best video game programmers out there who have more relevant experience. You'd get a AAA title with cooler features, more FPS on less hardware, better realizations of the game design, better everything. You give smart people power to do things, and they end up doing cool things. If you want a look at what something like that looks like, take a gander at Valve, which is a super top programming company that happens to make video games from time to time. Their games always pushed the limits of what could be done while running on the PCs of the era (stuff like high fidelity graphics in big open scenes, beautiful water for the time, physics simulations, tons of different modes of play despite being a simple HL2 first-person shooter, etc. Portal also pushed things along I imagine. It probably took some serious big brained programmers to code up just how portals would work. It doesn't seem like a simple task, and it does seem like a task that maybe even a decent programmer not at a top 5% company getting paid the most could complete well or potentially at all.). When you get fed what feels like a bland game without much interesting mechanics that runs poorly that 250 programmers worked on at EA games or whatever, you're getting more middle-of-the-road programmers. Especially when they miss their launch date, cut content to make it, and have a tremendous number of bugs even after the late launch. It's a matter of payment. I wish the best of the best more often had a passion for affecting society through the creation of great video games. I wish even the bigger companies with more formulaic games had geniuses given some power to improve the created games in all ways - how it plays and how well it runs. Some rockstars still work in the field. I just wish corporate suits realized how much of a difference someone who gets paid US$200,000 more money than average can bring to a team of programmers. Performance-minded developers are busy writing C++/Rust that powers stuff like Facebook or Google services or high frequency trading software instead. It kinda sucks. Check out the talk by Mike Acton about data-driven design in C++. He leads a team that makes video games for consoles that need to be highly optimized to perform on limited hardware while still looking great. Some rockstars are still in the industry. I just wish there were more. You can make great money programming in pretty much any industry, especially if the work you're doing is mentally challenging (some programming is easier than others. E.g. I'm not qualified to design a big service yet, and I'm not sure I ever will be. It's all good to be a worker ant, still getting paid decently). The problem is coding up Unreal Engine pays maybe 200k/yr max whereas working at a Google or Amazon or Facebook, you can quite quickly start making 300k/yr as a starting point for advanced work (~5-10 years experience doing a good job). And if you do solid work at that role, you can end up making 400k/yr then 500k/yr. Some get paid a million a year! It's a shame the most qualified programmers will tend not to work on video games. Pump up those numbers, start hiring 500k/yr professionals to help with improving Unreal Engine. It can be done.

[@jhkuno88]

All N64 games are done in C, some might have a little bit of assembly here and there but 99% is C, and many N64 devs were just noobs out of Uni that had no idea what they were doing....you have no idea what youre talking about...im not reading all that...the ramblings of an crazy kid with a lot of imagination

Body Harvest was one of my favourite N64 games. I always loved seeing little references to it in GTA games. The dev team for Body Harvest was DMA Design. That team got renamed to Rockstar North. The same Dune buggy is in GTA 3. The ice-cream truck in Vice city has the same music as the ice-cream truck from BH. The Mission called Body Harvest in San Andreas has you running over people in combine harvester like you do to the zombies in the Russian level.

Also it might be a bit late, but if my memory serves me right, you can change weapons when battling bosses inside the space ship hovercraft thing for more powerful, limited ammo options.

Loving the series my boy! Keep up the great work!

Been ripping on this dude the whole series for all the games he never played and somehow I missed THIS one as a kid.

Body Harvest seems like a good warm up for Jet Force Gemini. Good luck without a guide, you're going to need it

[@hellocollegejason198]

I really appreciate this series, always look forward to it

[@Wraith2791]

hell yeah! I never got to finish this one as a kid, glad this popped up in my feed.

The ice cream truck jingle is even the same as from the gta 3 icre cream truck

This game sticks in my memory because it was the first (I think) game I played on N64 where you could just jump in a plane or in another vehicle and fly or drive off. Barely paid attention to the plot but it was fun as hell. First time I remember seeing uncensored cussing in a game too. Didn't know Rockstar made this one.

And here it is, one of my favorites!

The ice cream truck was also a thing in GTA San Andreas. This is one of the more obvious details that hint that Body Harvest is a predecessor.

Just wanted to say I love your videos, they give me so much nostalgia and your voice is very relaxing, it can help you get some good sleep and I mean that in a good way. 😴
