Forgotten PS1 Horror Games Vol.2

[@ilovebruno490]

Great list! You failed to mention the time limit in "D"; from the time you start you have just 2 hours to complete the game. No pauses, no saves, just pure building tension.

[@persona3rulez]

Actually there's Germs ENG patch. It came out just in January. The author says it has some mistakes and e.t.c. and will fix them but the fact remains the same - the game IS translated at some degree. Apparently a Spanish patch has also been out since 2021, lol.

[@TheInfectiousCadaver]

man could you imagine playing such a game back then? seems very advanced compared to what we had at the time, but im sure it was because of the lack of polish. but hey thats what the imagination is for right?

[@persona3rulez]

@@TheInfectiousCadaver can't say it was THAT innovative. It does seem like something really artistic but there are lots of games like this one, they just either didn't leave Japan or were PC exclusive. There are Laika, Ecstatica at some degree, Baroque is rather psychedelic, Ronde of MegaTen franchise. They're just so "art house" that most of them were either skipped by most people and it became forgotten or the developers just didn't bother with localisation.

[@thebaffman4898]

My theory about the grayscale open world of Germs is that they made it like this to save on memory and computational power. They used very few, mostly flat shaded polygons to be able to increase the draw distance and reduce the strain on the hardware. Also flat shaded polygons on the PS1 have the benefit to hide texture distortion, which is more noticeable the less triangles you use for a mesh. You can see that the city roads for example suffer from heavy distortion, while the enteriors are mostly unaffected presumably because the triangle count for the enterior environments is much higher. Developers often used the "trick" to increase the triangle count to account for the PS1 lack of perspective corrected textures, since the PS1 hardware is capable of handling a very high number of triangles.

Nightmare Creatures looks so DARK. Giving me nostalgia vibes

[@israelpereira2088]

Great video,i always heard good things about Nightmare Creatures,i'm going to play that game in the future.

[@halliebow]

Thanks for covering D. I was obsessed with that that game and not alot of people have covered it.

[@Xsetsu]

Eno doesn't get enough credit because he died way too early. The old website 1up use to have a fantastic interview with him that was something like 15k words or something. He went into so much detail behind every game he had made with Warp as well as Fumito Ueda (from Team Ico) starting out as a animator at Warp and how he saw real potential in him even there at Warp.

[@FatherMcKenzie66]

I remember OddHeader made a video about obscure games, in the video he mentioned Germs and, apparently, it was released unfinished and unpolished due to financial issues, and for some reason the front cover of the game contained a photo of a real dead body, and physical game copies are really really rare because only 100-150 copies were actually printed and put for sale, it’s considered the rarest game ever for ps1, even more rare than Lsd emulator. Edit: yes i copy-pasted the same comment from the original video here lol

D was literally my childhood, my first horror game of any kind, it’s follow up Enemy Zero is still in my favorites of all time

Nothing more satisfying than snapping a zombie in half in nightmare creatures.

Amazing video!! Every single one of these games caught my attention!! On a lot of compilations, usually I find a few that are a skip, but each game was so interesting. Good idea to look at games that the west may have not heard of. Amazing video and great job explaining everything :)

[@TheDeepOne85]

I remember renting Nightmare creatures from Blockbuster many moons ago. 39 this year thanks for making me feel old!😂

Another certified banger, great work Jay!

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGeek99]

Love your videos! Very intertaining

[@silenthillarchives]

Thank you!

[@Mankey619]

Back when developers used to experiment on making different genres of survival horror games to give us unique horror experience. Luckily we got indie horror games to reignite that experience.

[@BeegableRock]

So awesome, thanks for the great content!

[@MelomanoAdicto]

Nightmare Creatures is awesome! I remember always getting scared while playing it as a child.

[@zorlac303]

I remember Nightmare Creatures back when I was a little kiddo. Man that game was scary.

[@Gruntvc]

Nightmare Creatures deserved better. Shame we didn't get that 3rd game. Heck, you'd think they'd reboot it given how successful Bloodborne was.

[@SnthwaveSunset]

For future reference if there is no fan translation of a game, using google lens camera translator is a helpful tool

[@DedAlexFive]

Thank you for giving Nightmare Creatures exposure, one of my favorite games ever. Great video

One cool thing about Nightmare Creatures: it has a bunch of cheatcodes that let you play as enemies and bosses. Real wild stuff.

[@SolarDNA]

I got a PlayStation for Christmas of 1997 and Nightmare Creatures with it. It was the first PS game I ever owned and I still have it and play it occasionally to this day. The sequel a couple years later was disappointing though.

Finally one of these weird ps1 games videos discussing germs narewaretamachi

[@Perry0823]

When I was a child maybe 8 or 9 years old I remember my dad took me over to a friend of his house. My dad's friend had a teenage son who was playing this game. I remember sitting down watching him play the game and being both scared and excited. I've always thought of that game from time to time and never knew what it was called. I typed in PS1 horror games to see if I could find it, and it led me to this video. That game was Nightmare Creatures. Thanks for giving me a chance to relive those memories.

Nightmare Creatures is one of my favorite games, i will they would port it into newer systems, it really deserves a Nightdive treatment

[@rohambahraee]

It's funny, I played both Nightmare Creatures and I thought that both were well know games at the time. Still I had strange feeling that I was the only one playing them because they had something about them, like no one wanted to buy and try them

[@TheBeardsShow]

I totally remember nightmare creatures! I remember the demo on the official ps magazine then getting the game when it came out. It was great

[@ndafyst4769]

Demos and magazines sure added to the lore and hype buildup. Kids these days don't know.
