Jurassic Park: Trespasser - A Fascinating Disaster

[@SorcererDave]

One small correction I need to make to this video - I'm using the Trespasser CE mod, not ATX. It doesn't really make much difference in the grand scheme of things though.

[@valkrae4876]

6:40 "It's not like I can swim to America." Not with quitter talk like that you can't, Ann.

[@Aewon84]

I remember I got stuck near the end of Level 5 for several months, then just before Christmas (I'm not sure if it was 1999 or 2000) I had a dream where I managed to proceed to Level 6. The very next day I was able to solve the puzzle I was stuck on and proceed to Level 6. Level 6 looked identical to how it looked in my dream.

[@scatered1]

Truth is stranger than fiction my good man.

[@MisterKisk]

The SPAS-12 is not just a pump action shotgun. It's also semi-automatic. The Pump was when using low-pressure ammo that couldn't cycle the weapon properly, like tear gas or beanbag rounds.

[@georgeclose1]

I really like the sort of 'commentary track' style on this.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

Arguably, this could be considered one of the first walking sims if it wasn't for the raptors.

[@Fullapple1991]

this video gives me some extremely heavy documentary vibes... and i absolutely love it

[@toddbrown4598]

I've never even heard of this game. This should be interesting.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Not at all surprised.

[@bignewsmorgans93]

I know it from AVGN.

[@angmordagnithil7127]

See, this is how it always starts. First the 'ooh' and 'ahh', then comes the running and screaming...

[@ssgsorrels]

This girl has some crazy arm strength. She is fully extending her arm, while holding a fully loaded rifle, and firing it, for hours. She must have thicker arms than a navy seal

[@Cherri_Bomb_01]

This game would be amazing if it was to get a modern day VR remake.

[@It_is_I_Rogal_Dorn]

Any reason why? 5:16

[@Cherri_Bomb_01]

@@It_is_I_Rogal_Dorn LOL. Honestly it's more that I miss Dinosaur games. The popularity of Jurassic Park skyrockted them in the 90's/early 2000's, with not only a lot of really good JP licened games, but also stuff like Turok and Dino Crisis. Plus just everything about this title screams VR, from the physics and complete lack of hud, to even the only dialoge been in you own head or you talking out loud. The health tattoo is an additional bonus, but honestly I feel a remake wouldn't include that, because, well you know how certain groups overreact these days.

[@GwenShep]

Now this I never expected from you but boy can I say im excited, this is a treat

[@adriank8792]

It's one of my favorite games of all time. The idea was great, the execution not so much but still this game was jaw dropping when I first played it 20 years ago. It was so advanced it felt like real life compared to other games. Hopefully one day we'll get a proper remake. Trespasser absolutely deserves it

[@the_mad-clown]

Jhon hamin makes any game or movie even a book so much better with his soothing voice

[@pt8306]

The irony is that this game would probably handle a LOT better with modern VR controls, as you can just literally move your arms around.

[@boredwarlock5216]

Hey dude I gotta say this is one of my favorite LPs of all time. Great job job and thanks for sharing this one

[@QueenOfTheSilence]

I remembered when you played this on your Twitch. This should be amusing to watch, from what I remember from last time.

[@Arramond2]

Loved this flawed mess :). They tried to make a VR game before VR was a thing (as we know it today).

[@1SpicyMeataball]

Are you seriously not aware that FPP was a thing? (And still is) It was never intended to be VR.

[@ResearchIndicates]

This game looks better every year. Nice work on your LP SorcererDave, thanks for the trip down memory lane

[@PerishingPurplePulsar]

Damn! Didn't expect you to be here. just gonna thank you for introducing me to this game!

[@ResearchIndicates]

@@PerishingPurplePulsar No problem Mr. Hammond, thanks for building Jurassic Park

[@PerishingPurplePulsar]

@@ResearchIndicates It was my pleasure, well, until Nedry got involved hahaha

[@ThatZenoGuy]

@@ResearchIndicates Make more videos damnit!

[@glenngriffon8032]

"Why play this if it's such a disaster?" Why do people watch disaster movies? Why do people watch "When animals attack" or high speed police chases or NASCAR? It's an intrinsically human thing to observe in awe as things go horribly wrong. We don't necessarily enjoy seeing other human beings get wounded, injured or harmed - unless you're psychotic - we just enjoy witnessing the unfolding of chaos.

[@johankarlson1590]

The detalied read up info and something about the tempo of your comments make me feel like this is more of a documentary than a lp. Very entertaining and a good listen!

[@ryangaskin4796]

Trespasser walked so games of the future could run.

[@Ziklawz]

An interesting and educacional walk thru, never played the game but it does invoke memories of playing games on PC in the years 98,99 and 2000.

[@Pyxis10]

This IS a fascinating disaster of a game. Helps that you know what you are talking about. Interestingly enough as buggy as the raptors are, I like that not all of them attack you and some go after other creatures. More realistic that way versus some games where every creature on the planet decides that you must die.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Jurassic Park took place in 1993 (The Novel takes place in 1989).

[@Tuulos]

I'm pretty sure that second revolver is S&W M29 as used by Dirty Harry in the movies. The second shotgun is semi-automatic, not pump action.

[@Syphonfllter]

Oh wow, now this brings me back.. back to 98 and onward. I remember running this on an old gateway and custom builds we had. I think we had it when it came out, but as with many games back then and even now you need decent hardware or a slew of issues ensued. The velociraptors scared the living daylights out of me trying to outmaneuver. once you get used to the awfully clunky controls and overall.. uh "feel" it's really amazing.

[@hidagran1730]

The research indicates let's play is actually older i think 2008 it got reuploaded on youtube after google video went down.

[@ResearchIndicates]

Even older than that, it was originally on the Viddler hosting platform!

[@TheBlackout0047]

Ok weird fact, but that shotgun is a SPAS 12 which actually can be Semi-automatic or Pump-action. It also had a hook attachment for 1 handed shooting. So in a weird way it does work

[@ForteKaiser]

Love your content Dave. But one correction the Franchi spas 12 has a pump action and semi-automatic variants.

[@danz409]

guess i was lucky AF. it worked on my classroom PC back in grade school. i loved finishing my work ASAP and enjoying the last 30 min of my class time playing this game! even managed to win!

[@runarvollan]

Vanilla version with lowest brightness = most INTENSE!

[@yellow6100]

I remember wanting to play this game and trying where it ran horribly on my pc so I couldnt do much but also didnt know what to do and was not sure if game is bad or I just dont know. I still have a kind of interest in this one... Its a strange piece indeed.

[@caelvanir8557]

Well, this should be fascinating

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

I still can't believe that they actually got Richard Attenborough himself to do the intro speech. Okay, he sounds bored as Hell but Goddamn if that isn't actually him!

[@alant8140]

Interesting insights Dave, and a thoroughly relaxing watch! Cheers. Edit: speaking of old games you want to go back to this year, I remember you streamed Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver at one point, not sure if you ever played the first one, Blood Omen, but I'd be very curious to have another look at that. Simply because it's a game I had way back and couldn't for the life of me understand because I was so young

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Fun Fact: Birds are considered a living family of Dinosaur, so a Cassowary is a terrifying, feathered Dinosaur.

[@MrCaladanBrood]

On the other end of the spectrum, allegedly, one of the closest living relatives to the T-Rex is the chicken.

[@kylejohnson525]

Never expected you to play this game Dave

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Now THIS, this is quintessential jank. I've seen it cross across many a review show before, but those often were in bits and pieces, so it'll be interesting seeing it in it's full state.

[@glenngriffon8032]

"The controls are a bit odd" I don't think so. I mean my usual control set up is E to jump [space] to crouch. This is cause I tend to try and stealth in most games I play. So I hit the crouch button more frequently than jump and holding [space] down with my thumb is effortless. Also works wonders in Minecraft. Most people whine their fingers tire holding shift all the time, I'm over here moving crouched without issue for hours cause my thumb is just holding [space] down.

[@dmitryivanov2960]

This video was a bit of deja vu until I remembered watching Twitch stream of the same game few years ago. That was a pretty good one, too bad it was lost in time.

[@solidseagull4062]

Anne seems to know a lot about how much ammo is in those guns. She must have covered wars, you know?

[@Blisterdude123]

This is one of my favourite gaming debacles. It's funny, because this was a 'professional' release, at the time, but the closest comparison in quality you could make for this game today is literally any of the alpha/in development games you get flooding Steam these days.

[@acbeaumo]

9:15 That arm is quite unsettling...

[@patrickblind998]

My son and I bought this out the gate and spent many days killing dinos. We still talk about it and he just informed me that someone has done an update for it!

Wait wait wait...Hammond in Jurassic Park...THAT'S Richard Attenborough?? I always heard of him but never knew what he looked like. Also the drunk raptor animation is so goofy.

[@bennettfender1546]

The spas 12 is actually dual action meaning it can also be fired in semi auto mode of course she fires it in pump action mode in game for some reason.

[@masonmurphy2679]

Thoroughly surprised, thoroughly interested, and thoroughly enjoyed Thanks Dave :)

[@u83rj1]

[@Caddieboy360]

There was something insanely hilarious to me about this. I think it was due to me coming from the more modern games and watching Dave smack paint cans with a plank like a caveman and then talking about how it was a very novel thing at release just made me laugh

[@dunmermage]

Is this the return of Box Raptor!?
