Die Hard Trilogy was the main reason I got the original Playstation. People don't realize how amazing that game was at the time. The variety of the gameplay for each film. The graphics were amazing as an early Playstation game in 1996! Isometric shooter with upgrades and various weapons, amazing on rail action set pieces, and Vengeance was basically the stepping stone for what GTA would eventually become. One of the best movie licensed games of the 90's outside of Goldeneye.

[@SicketMog]

Had it for the Saturn. Agree it was awesome. Edit: spotting an immediate difference. I don't remember the Saturn version of Die Hard having those icons showing up to the right of the screen. Interesting.

I worked for Bits Studios back in the 2000's. I remember the team talking about Vendetta and how they really tried to do some cool stuff with it. They also did their absolute best to try and get the game an 18 rating in the UK for the extra publicity it would have brought the Gamecube version (it would have been the first Gamecube game to be an 18). The studio did go on to do the Constantine video game - which in my opinion is an underrated gem.

@@jasonlee7816 I never heard about that but Bits comes from a different time in gaming so wouldn't be surprised.

The cheat codes for the first game were amazing. DH1 has some hilarious cheats to make enemies float up to heaven when killed or they have to turn their back to McClane and shoot him between their legs. DH2 had a debug mode where you could see the "rails" you would move on and even change their direction to float around the map and look around.

[@immitationstation3369]

The best thing also was when you went to quit the game it would go "are you sure" "ask a friend?" and when you enter your initials the people would explode and other crazy stuff would happen. You can tell the team had a mad fun time making that game 😄 has that vibe about it

You know, I think the worst thing about Nakatomi Plaza is that I really do think there’s a good game buried under the myriad of technical and acting problems that it has. For a 1-1 recreation of a film, it’s about as close as I think you can get from around that time period, and if it had some more care put into it, it might have stacked up to other games from around the same time period. Edit: I literally had to rewrite this comment because I was half awake when I watched this and assumed this game came out before Half Life, and uhh… Yeah, it makes it even worse.

So a few years back, I did a mini retrospective on Die Hard Trilogy myself. Whilst researching the game, I found to my amazement that one of the developers uploaded an unofficial behind the scenes documentary of the making of the game... and it's incredible. There's footage of the motion capture (literally done in a church hall). Multiple early builds of the game, including one which is a hybrid of Alien Trilogy and shows John running around with a colonial marine pulse rifle, as well as the original pitch to Fox. It's split over multiple parts but it's well worth a watch.

@@kamenanew9867 It's a really great watch, if the full vid is no longer on YT, there's samples of it in my old retrospective video. But it's fantastic, just because you see how this studio tried to do what was state of the art stuff on a budget. Like the motion capture footage, aside from filming it in a church hall, they didn't have dedicated motion capture suits, but they did have tape and the balls and stuck them to the actors clothes.

Not your fault that your parents were incompetent idiots to raise you properly. I don't blame her in a slightest. Religion or not the thing is kids should not be exposed to such things anyway. Often people say ''I did this and that and there is nothing wrong with me'' then reality proves them wrong. Or one day they snap. A developing childs mind absorbs things like a sponge and countiosly or subcountiusly it stays there. Like the other day, a woman in her 40s said ''me and my kid watched horror movies since he was little he loved to and he is a really good kid'' meanwhile he dresses up in ragged clothing and puts smudged makeup on and doesn't have a single normal photo, he always makes some deformed exagarated, angry, frowned face expression, eyes rolled up, tounge out etc, often holding a knife or something that simulates holding a weapon of sorts, in ALL of them.

Die Hard for the NES, while considered obtuse and kinda crap by many people, also was kind of a prototypical immersive sim. Positions of enemies are randomized around the building with each playthrough and will move around the different floors depending on what you do, you can delay the bad guys from getting into the vault by blowing certain computer systems up, John has a separate health meter for his feet that forces you to be mindful of where you move if you want to avoid losing your movement speed, etc. It had a lot of really interesting ideas that I think could work in a more modern remake.

He been in plenty of comercials and movies where he been a full CGI, or had a body double that had a faceswap of him. He would either have someone doing the voiceover too or he would record few lines. Which now also kinda became a norm. You probably heard of deepfakes tech.

I loved playing Die Hard Trilogy on my PSX. The light gun section and Taxicab driving were my favorite sections.

I needed this, thanks.

Ive loved Die Hard since a friend and i saw it in the theater. I never heard of that Nakatomi game until your video and despite the flaws you pointed out, i really want to play it!

Off topic, but a syphon filter video where you review every game in the series would be pretty cool.

I kinda chuckled a little when he said it would have been fun to play Die Hard Arcade at home with a buddy. The original Die Hard Arcade was a Sega Saturn (ST-V Board) and got released on the Saturn. My friends and I played the hell out of that game. I don't know if Gman didn't research enough or chose to omit this. The Die Hard Trilogy was also on Saturn too and wasn't just a Playstation experience. And before people go into defense mode, I am a Sega and Sony fan boy.

Bruno is Bruce Willis' nickname for himself - like how one of his music albums is called the return of Bruno and his cartoon was called Bruno the kid

Damn Diehard Trilogy. That brings back so many memories. I beat Die Hard and Die harder multiple times but I never beat Vengeance without cheats. That timer was ruthlessly short. Also if my memory is correct in Die Hard you would earn extra lives saving hostages from executions but again, the amount of time you have to find them and save them is really short.

Die Hard Trilogy was my First Game I got when I got the PS1 for my 10th Birthday 25 Years Ago… Never played any of these other ones. Although Nakatomi Plaza seems like a Guilty Pleasure! Thanks for going over the Series of Games. Also RIP Clarence Gilyard aka Theo…
