Blast Corps by Graviton in

[@Poneglyph]

This dev commentary was the absolute best. I played this game when I was a kid and absolutely loved it.

[@Glitcher2000]

Did you get all the platinums? That's no easy feat.

[@Juxtapose1984]

I recommend starting at 5:56. The guest on the playthrough is Martin Wakeley, who was Lead Designer for Blast Corps and spent 8 years at Rare.

[@tehxenon1703]

By FAR one of the best runs on GDQ.

[@TheDoomsnail]

Exceptional commentary from Martin, the Rare dev.

[@ghjfghj8318]

'This was just us sitting around having cups of tea going 'yeah that'd be funny''. Brilliant. Also, big up the Midlands.

[@monkeyhead15]

You know what's crazy? I just started scrolling down the comments and literally read your comment the moment he said it. It just happened to be at the exact point of this post 2 hour video lol

[@rairose4944]

yo does anyone have a timestamp for when this happens?

[@bobothehobo420]

amazing that one of the best n64 games was made by under 10 people and often under 5. just screwing around and trying out shit that made them laugh. Shows how skilled and talented this group really was with limited resources on the cutting edge. there needs to be a remake or sequel

[@AlienGenotype]

This is one of the best games i ever played, i got all platinums back in 1998 on the n64, one of the hardest things i ever did in a videogame

[@TheKingChizzy]

Wow you must only play shit games then because this is one of the worst games I've ever played.

[@AlienGenotype]

You sucking at this game =/= bad game

[@TheKingChizzy]

Got gold medals on all the levels and platinum on 2 within 2 days of ever playing the game. It's shit.

[@Speedrunner0218]

@@TheKingChizzy Try getting all the platinums. It's fucking difficult

[@doktawhawee9870]

Damn, son. I could barely get all platinum times after 2 and a half years! And you guys did it in under an hour! Awesomeness incarnate.

[@trailblzr94]

I played this game a long time ago. Offers no guidance and every level you beat, you actually feel like you accomplished something. Too bad there weren't that many people. I never actually got to beat the game unfortunately :(

[@Bammer2001]

You must be so lucky to have Martin Wakeley be part of this speedrun as someone for commentary.

[@jkake2434]

awesome run and commentary. Cheers

[@mrpsycholeojoey87]

Pure skill at its finest at 1:36:05. God Bless.

[@matdemaz]

I loved this game as a kid. Cool to hear a dev's perspective as well. Great run!

[@katt-the-pig]

I got this game using my birthday money the year it came out. Still own the game. Played it just earlier today.

[@MrMaster767]

I've done an any% speedrun of this game several times a few years back. Not live but just on my own time. Used to love this game back in my childhood. Although I really get nervous when I do Diamond Sands. Nice job!

[@dangerwarg9682]

I've rented this game from blockbuster before back in 1995 or 1996. I could never remember its name and it was extremely difficult finding it again. But boy am I glad to see Blast Corps again. :)

[@outputcoupler7819]

Man, Rare made the _best_ games back in the N64 era. Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini...

[@johnclasing4627]

Just hearing "no trouble at all" was incredibly nostalgic. But that said, we beat this game as kids and I don't remember really any of the levels.

[@SegaDisneyUniverse]

Man, this game was definitely a piece of my childhood! To this day I couldn't even beat the game let alone get all of the achievements!😆 That guy breezed through it like nothing! But yeah, this game is so underrated, if only the devs could bestow upon us a remaster.

[@noddwyd]

I still love this game. Fuck the haters. Drifting before it was cool. With a dump truck.

[@JamieSMB]

Will always love this game to death.

[@fredinator85]

Moar GDQ with developer comments in the future please

[@amythestmabee5758]

Beard guy stroking it so much he had to change up hands lol Dat beard tho

[@gcecbg]

15:17 The talk about the soundtrack is really interesting, especially when Martin talks about composer Graeme Norgate (since one of the tracks in the game sound a bit like Front Line Assembly.)

[@nuz5]

Random fact: The game "Airmech Arena"'s music is done by the actual Front Line Assembly :D

[@wobwobrob]

This is one of the few games where the lag didn't bother me. It was like slow motion destruction!

[@zebefreod871]

1:14:24 best reaction from the dev

[@Ostnizdasht206]

I remember playing this as a kid. Such a unique and different concept for a game.

[@Optimator7]

Beautiful

[@THEFRISKIESTDINGO]

Keep re-uploading with better quality. It lets me see runs I skimmed over before.

[@StrangeBru85]

Great commentary on one of my favorite n64 games!

[@vespertinnee]

so cool, this triggered that nostalgia big time

[@Bobcat1438]

Oyster Harbour was the only carrier level I could never beat because the 'Z' trick wasn't available in the PAL version which I was using.

[@thetombuck]

Oyster Harbour is easily the hardest level. Us PAL countries had the tougher game for sure

[@MarMaxGaming]

I’m using this now to help me get through platinum.. I think it’s going to take me like a year… these are just absurd

[@bradjonas3656]

You're just trying to impress me.

[@somegal-89]

1:29:23 “Oh, you can turn in the air” They didn’t object to the realism of you driving around the moon in a regular dump truck? Or that dump truck being able to survive a nuclear blast point blank? 😂

[@IDKLOL555]

Martin Wakeley. What a guy =)

[@MarMaxGaming]

We need a stage list with time stamps!

[@SumnerTube21]

Awesome run, Grav what is your best time for Simian Acres? I have got 11.8 seconds, I feel like that is perfect but you are pulling all kinds of craziness.

[@mangy2fly604]

I want a remake

[@Yoyocrappa]

Beard guy at 1:46:22 tho

[@kappappa]

He's sitting next to Kenny from South Park.

[@blin9999]

Cool guys don't look at explosions

[@DjZeroPlayer1]

just got this game for 15$ complete ❤️👌

[@alvarodeandrade5887]

Tenho pena da minha infância em lembrar que esse era um dos 2 jogos que eu tinha kkkkkk

[@weza74]

Great dev now making shoddy mobile games ....What a tragedy

[@ImperatorZed]

to be fair if this came out today people would call it a shitty mobile game or an angry birds clone or something

[@MSaint]

I died a little when I heard that from Martin.

[@hazmongrel]

Man needs bread mate, family needs providing for

[@evanc3666]

It took me a half hour to realize that Rare was the group that made the game. LOL

[@buddymead12]

Game was fun they should make it backwordscompat Able

[@team56th]

Was this done on Rare Replay?

[@TiberiousNeruda]

This is the initial US release of the game on N64. A later revision removed the Z-trick, and Rare Replay uses the 1.1 release. There is a way to get a 'stored' Z-trick in 1.1, but it takes more setup and is generally referred to as the 'Super Z-Trick', which is itself more of a stored version of the technique known as the 'Citizen Stomp' (the little man you control is technically a vehicle and destroys stuff for free when in the air).

[@nixiedreamstar]

Kenni is that you? 1:46:42
