Die Hard Trilogy - Sega Saturn Review

[@TechnicolorDojo]

The windshield wipers cleaning the blood off the screen is a nice touch.

[@Rountree1985]

It always makes me think of cotton candy because when I rented this game for PS1 back in 1998, my mom bought me a bag of cotton candy and I ate it while splattering pedestrians in the driving portion of the game.

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

It's like a family friendly option with a delay...does away with the blood but not quite subtly.

[@megagrey]

Gotta love that touch of dark humor.

[@thomaselers7416]

Let me clear my throat

[@JTguitarlessons]

I've got a nice touch for ya, touch this

[@krono5el]

The sound bit of the guards yelling "Mclane" seared into my mind, loved going through nakatomi and shooting all the glass : P

[@roberto1519]

Same here, the sound of this game is imprinted in my brain, for a second, I was 12 again.

[@xeroabyss9597]

Sounds like Sheen from ''Jimmy Neutron'' falling down a well.

[@AngryPostmanStockholm]

The political "correctness" sure killed humor and lilttle things like this. In sweden we have classic kid sagas like Pippi Långstrump and is one of the victims... its like 50 years old an every kid seen it or read it, yet the manic ret had to muppiefie it.

[@xeroabyss9597]

@@AngryPostmanStockholm I don't know if you were replying to me on this comment, but your ''Pippi'', long red braids and freckles?

[@BB-te8tc]

Not even exaggerating: this is one of my top 10 favourite games. I'm down for a playthrough of Die Hard 1 and 2 any time.

[@howiegruwitz3173]

It looks pretty radical

[@JGD185]

I played that 3rd person version so much as a kid. Hard game but super fun back in the day. A remaster would be great

[@classiccorporation5278]

You lying lol 😂

[@MidnightPodcast]

The best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mccalejk2]

Nah, this game sucked in every way possible. Back in the day I would try to play the first game but it was boring. I didn't try the 2nd because it was almost impossible. The third I played the most and it was hard af because the graphics were so back and the controls were awful. I wanted to love this game because I'm a huge Die Hard fan but it sucked.

[@Larry]

Funniest thing is Fox only wanted Probe to make the Die Hard with a Vengence part as the whole game, Probe had to fight them to add the other segments as they felt it was too limited and would get terrible reviews. Die Hard 1 was the final mode they made too. There's also a Die Hard Trilogy 2 on PS1 set in Las Vegas, plays the same beats as the original, bu made by a totally seperate developer.

[@frederickp.mcgillicuddyjr.7509]

I hate that you comment on every video that I watch

[@burtbackattack]

@@frederickp.mcgillicuddyjr.7509 Why do you hate it? LBJ is a legend, although his escalation of America's involvement in Vietnam will to many be a stain on his reputation. He makes great KZbin content though so all is forgiven.

Go away you

[@Estorium]

But... Hello you!

[@mazor13]

LAAAAARRRYYYYYYYYY

[@ToTheNines87368]

One of the first games I owned on PlayStation. I played the crap out of the “first” game.

[@maximillionroivas3893]

It was the funnest one in my opinion.

[@dontdoittoyoself6786]

My cousin had it. This was a good and addictive game.

[@Phi1981]

I completed all three and played the second one a lot on PSone. I had a lightgun though

[@repairshop22]

Yeah this was definately my favorite game on Playstation

[@ianashby6294]

Brings back memories

[@ThePageofCups]

"Are you AIMING for these people?" - 'No! ... Well, maybe that mime.'

[@lukegregoryCOHBL]

Absolutely loved this on my Saturn, rented it from blockbuster about 20 times before i bought it myself. Funny thing is, 16yr old me never noticed any of it's glaring faults and crappy graphics - just loved the gameplay, which is how it should be. Still not played the sequel on ps1.....

[@marakarthegreat]

when John just says "Yippie ki yay!" in this game I'm like "damn, he doesn't say motherfukker at the end"

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Yeah it was definitely a very different time in gaming back then. Blood and gore was totally fine but apparently swearing was a big No-No still which is ridiculous for an M rated game. Then again look at the first Max Payne game.

[@LRon-ef7ni]

It came true with that one PG13 Die Hard

[@ChaseMC215]

Ironic since the game itself is M for Mature and all 3 Die Hard films before Live Free or Die Hard were Rated R, and they still can't have someone swear? Dir Hard: Nakatomi Plaza was the same way too despite it being M for Mature.

[@jrs4516]

my local video store had a deal where you rented this with mad catz steering wheel and light gun (psx version). was a good weekend.

[@louyork8379]

I really love Sega Lord content. Makes me very happy to get on KZbin and see a new video. So entertaining!

[@tonyflores4956]

Thumbs up before even watching. Just so cool to see this game being covered!

[@nastynizzzle1581]

I freaking loved this game oh snap

[@kubev]

You know, I never made the connection between Alien Trilogy and Die Hard Trilogy, I assume because of the fact that each game follows an entirely different format. That said, it's an interesting idea. It actually kind of got me thinking about which movie trilogies I'd like to see video games based on.

[@DaveVoyles]

And the same company made both games!

[@kubev]

@@DaveVoyles That's the connection I'm referring to. I didn't realize they seemed to have a theme going on with regard to movie trilogies, and I wonder how far they were ever planning on taking it.

[@krymera666x7]

Played the first game so many times. One of my favourites.

[@StillTheVoid]

*You wanna stay alive...you stay with me.* - John Mcclane Thanks for honoring my request. I'm glad this game is being brought to light. 1996 was a good year.

[@DreamcastQ]

I played the hell out of this with my best friend when it was new, we loved the three games for the price of one! I still enjoy this one a lot

[@SuperJim]

Really good comparison! Having recently gotten back into the PS version - determined to complete the 1st game. Also always remember the mirror view bottom right when you are being targeted is better on PS - no reflection on Saturn

[@shiru8bit]

It was one of the first games I ever played on PS1, and it was absolutely amazing. Still has some magic in it, like, it was what many modern games turned into, but 20 some years back - now we have those open map cities and office space fights in many many games, and game mechanics is still mostly similar.

[@bakaneiro]

This was my 4th Saturn game. Totally loved it and nobody noticed that the playstation version looked a bit better. We still had tons of fun with it. I am kinda surprised by the 3rd part though, looks like that Driver game released in '99

[@3DSage]

There is a series of vhs videos uploaded on KZbin from a guy who worked on this game and he documented the candid moments and development.

[@marclurr]

Breaking my new rule of silence on KZbin to recommend anyone who has nostalgia for this game check out the multipart making-of documentary that can be found on KZbin. It's a fascinating blast from the past showing them developing the game.

[@KrispyNoKen]

If you remember the cheat code (CABBY CABBY), you're a legend.

[@KrispyNoKen]

@Google Ghey oy, Saturn was a underrated system. I still love it.

[@greenkoopa]

@Google Ghey 🤣🤣🤣 look at you, EdgeLordX over here! I never played a Saturn to know whether it's good or not, I'd like to play all the Capcom fighters on it but I can't justify the cost of all that just for those games

[@greenkoopa]

We don't have to remember, you did it for us 🏰🐢

[@greenkoopa]

@@KrispyNoKen I don't think it's underrated, it just has a very...aimed? Pointed? Library of games that don't have mass appeal. That and the price situation make it a no go for casuals. And the import thing.

[@Matt.Willoughby]

@@greenkoopa Really?? You've never played on a Saturn? That's crazy

[@DaboooogA]

Amazing for the time when I had it on PSX, Die Hard 2 was by far the most advanced rail shooter back then, with an astonishingly destructive environment and really cool secrets for accurate shooters!

[@jjeaze]

Lots of memories with this one

[@jeffb.6642]

I was laughing hard at the footage of running over the civilians in the 2nd game and using the wipers to clean blood off the windshield, and keep going like nothing was happening out of the ordinary, lol

[@DrGamelove]

Not only that, Bruce Willis is cracking jokes while you mow down helpless civilians.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Runs over like five pedestrians in a row, John McClane: sorry guys!! 😆😆😆

[@penatio]

Die Harder: Carmageddon

[@xxxxxbriansanchezyyy]

Surry

[@DrGamelove]

One of my favorite Saturn games! Between that, Alien Trilogy and this Sci Fi pinball they did on PC, Fox Interactive seemed so promising as a publisher for a bit there.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Now Fox as a whole is completely dead essentially now that they're owned by Disney. But yeah there was almost a moment there where they had something. But surprise surprise it's Fox so of course they blew it.

[@andywilliammockzek]

They actually stopped making games in 2002. Fox interactive sold there assets to viendi universal who then became Activision. It's because of that reason why a lot of fox interactive games are in limbo

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Amazingly enough this was one of the games in my somewhat small childhood collection of ps1 games. I was 13 playing this in 1997. Loved the third game, it truly was breathtaking for its time.

[@shabmaster7128]

I played Die Harder so much on the playstation kiosk at circuit city

[@esnebta]

Where service is the state of the art

[@brandonginsburg3120]

What a near coincidence. I played a kiosk of DHT (maybe for the Saturn), but I thought it was at a BestBuy. It was impressive in its size and the ability to use a light gun. It was a very special kiosk for sure.

[@1ButtonDash]

I played this on PSX back in the day, I freakin loved it

[@DenkyManner]

I completely forgot about this game yet I really liked it on Saturn. The car section is great and perhaps worth the price alone. The first game was very limited but I think I had fun with it, it was a fresh idea to me at the time though technically it's kind of poor. And yeah, the light gun section is a disaster. I'm not sure it would have been good even if it ran properly, the way the camera moves around is very unrefined compared to Virtua Cop.

[@rubz1390]

Dang you had no hesitations shooting the hostages in the second game.

[@Tripplebeem]

I played this on the PS1 and I have to say that this game had a HUGE impact on me. The driving levels really were a turning point in gaming for me.

[@_KarlS]

A 2nd person shooter would be a game where you play as the person who gets shot by the main character. Kind of a weird concept. I like the 3rd person shooter concept, it has a certain feel to it like GTA 3

[@NeoJ4K3]

Haven't watched yet, but geez, I played the crap outta this on the Saturn back in the day

[@Mike-cs1ft]

I remember wen I was about 16 and I was in my first job after leaving school I was on the 6am till 2pm shift and the one night I sat up all night playing this game on the playstation I was dead the next day and past out as soon as I got in did that alot wen I was younger I still do play video games all night but not wen I've got work it's too much I'd end up calling in sick

[@carlosgarciaruiz1102]

The music in the second game was amazing

[@jasonshiers5771]

I still have my copy on PS1, I also loved die hard the arcade game.

[@grandpasretrovideogames]

Love this game! Have it cib for both the Sega Saturn and the Playstation. Along with Die Hard Arcade as well on Saturn.

[@klodek14]

Had a lot of fun with Die Hard Trilogy on the ps1 back in the day. I remember you could get the car physics in the 3rd game to go absolutely bonkers in the more open areas, turning it into a high velocity, drifting, civilian mowing, death machine. Good times.

[@renebt2207]

This was my favorite game for a long time. I'm glad you liked it too

[@sketcharmstrong8491]

Oh jeez do I remember playing the hell out of this on the PS1. Sweet Pre-teen memories here....great vid.

[@EdwinTheGreat337]

1995 or 1996. I did not know anything about Playstation or Saturn.Very first game I saw running on polygon was NBA in Zone at UL Lafayette. Ridge racer was that game that taught me how to drive. There was an old man and he 'd passed,bless his soul.I've never driven a car before. I said ok,this would be ridge racer.

[@Darth001]

One of my favourite games of all time. First 2 games I played more 3rd game I never managed to get to bomb on time I would use cheat code to drive around free style mode

Easily one of my favourite games ever.. had it on PS1 and played it _daily_

[@yatsey007]

I was 10 when I got my Saturn and had to beg my older sister (RIP) to go into EB and buy it for me as it was an 18 rated game if I remember correctly…Always had a blast playing this and loved nothing more than watching the movies than playing the game. Things were so much simpler back then.

This is one of my favorite games of all time. I had it on PS1 and bought another copy a few years back. It's in a CD book in my house somewhere.

[@Mike-nf6nf]

I work with a guy who just bought 15 (fifteen) Saturns. He's replacing all capacitors, adding an optical disc emulator to each unit and de-yellowing the cases, then plans on selling most of them. It's cool knowing people are working to keep these older systems alive!

[@silverwings21]

[@jonathanwahl1458]

I use to love this game, can't remember if I played on saturn or PS and mainly only played the die hard game but still!

[@jediknightgeo]

I still have this and Die Hard Trilogy 2. I still enjoy it to this day and like Alien Trilogy I was very surprised that Probe turned in another solid outing. Die Hard Trilogy 2, developed by n-Space (Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, 007 Bloodstone, Geist) wasn't as well received but overall I thought it was OK. It's basically the same type of gameplay with the 3 different genre's but instead of it being a trilogy of films it's just one all new overarching story with McLane going to Vegas and taking on terrorists. Another solid video Sega Lord 👍

[@greenreaper1605]

Keep em coming sir. I loved this game when I got it back in the day. Also don’t forget the second game which is CRAZY rare and expensive nowadays. I had it on PlayStation and one of my best friends had it on Saturn.

[@maximillionroivas3893]

My younger brother and I would play Die Hard Trilogy, Die Hard Arcade, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Area 51, Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Cop and Daytona USA everyday after school, back in 1996 and 1997. All on our SEGA Saturn. Good memories.

[@REALransoman]

I used to put in the cheat code to remove the timer in die hard 3 and just explore the streets like an open world driving game and I loved it. Driver came out a few years later and was everything I wanted at the time.

This is one of my fav ps1 games I played back in the day. the codes in the 1st movie cracked me up. Was able to make enemies float up when they die and slow down the voice acting.

On the plus side, the Die Harder section does have a hidden debug mode that lets you create your own scenarios. Me and my mate had hours and hours of fun messing with that.

And even on the PS the draw distance isn't great. But to be fair, most PS 3rd person games look awful today
