MediEvil | Making of Documentary

[@ReliableRhubarb]

If you enjoyed this video, be sure to check out my latest documentaries on the history of Chris Sawyer (creator of Transport Tycoon, RollerCoaster Tycoon and Locomotion): kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2KYgaxnbNmce6M as well as the history of Oddworld Inhabitants: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmWwopqjbNySbpI Let me know which other game franchises you'd like to see documentaries on in the future!

This was my mom's favorite PS1 game. I'm currently streaming it in her honor. This game was a huge part of my childhood, and I remember every time I wanted to play it when the PS1 was in the living room, my mom really wanted to play the game instead lol. It's heart-warming to see someone make a full documentary on the game. This is very appreciated as a huge fan of the game. So many neat things I never knew about the game! Every bit of exposure to this gem makes me happy :D

[@egonjensen6506]

only long years after playing the 1998 original did I realize that Dan's story is actually very sad as he was granted life only for a brief moment, only to return back to death once he restored mortals' world in which he could never continue to exist.

[@Spark-pv9js]

But that short period of time is where he redeems himself as a fallen soldier and earns his place in the hall of heroes, so even its sad its also more like a "second chance" story

[@egonjensen6506]

@@Spark-pv9js he redeemed himself only in the eyes of the heroes from the hall of heroes as in the eyes of the people he had already been a hero thanks to the false legend.

@@egonjensen6506 Only the heroes and the king knew he was a fraud. In the wake of Dan’s death, King Peregrin made sure Dan would go down in history as the hero of Gallowmere for the dark century that followed. After being roused from the dead by Zarok, Daniel simply went on to actually live up to the legendary feats he was spuriously credited with when he was alive.

I loved Medievil back in the day. I still do (which is why I bought the Medievil Remastered). Even if it's not much a big franchise game, still I love Medievil. It's one of my favorite childhood games back in the glory days of the PS1.

I agree. I never had a chance to play Medievil 2. I wish theyd remake that.

This game holds a super special place in my heart.

[@UltimateDorito]

I'm 35 years old and I still love the hell out of this game. This was my all time favorite PlayStation game, with my second favorite being Wild 9. Obviously I loved the stylistic off-beat games. I'd love a doc like this for Wild 9 if there's anything out there to find about it. It's so damn weird, I'm sure there has to be a story there.

[@ReliableRhubarb]

I've added Wild 9 to my list, though I have no idea when I'll get around to covering it as I've got a bunch of other documentaries I want to get done first. Perhaps I could do a mini documentary series for games like this that are more obscure/have little known about their development, or some kind of compilation of multiple obscure titles in one documentary. Either way, it's on my list so I'll figure something out when I get to it.

[@UltimateDorito]

@@ReliableRhubarb amazing, thank you for taking the time to reply! Love your work! 🙂

[@aSuspiciousEgg]

Literally my favorite game from my childhood, I still play through it from time to time

[@Chuckmanyoudonut]

A true masterpiece they don’t make them like this anymore all the hardware limitations never stopped them - this game holds a special place in my heart forever and reminds me of a carefree childhood

[@TheFarmersLife]

This was the first 3D game I owned. I got nauseous at first, and didn’t think I’d make it through. I eventually got used to it, and completed the game several times. Great memories!

[@TheNimrod663]

Great work by putting together some rare photos and anegdotes. I consider myself a massive MediEvil fan and i've learned some new stuff! I very much enjoyed your video man, thank you.

[@sarutakk]

This was a great in depth watch. Loved these games back in the day and it was very cool to learn so much about their development. I know a lot of work goes into these types of videos and i hope you get a lot of views someday.

[@rustyshacklefordspocketsqu8162]

i got this for christmas 1998, i was 13. it was one of the best games i ever played. 25 years later, i have long given up video games, but i'm still in love with medievil (and re2, jet moto).

[@nehehehgraylois]

A documentary so well made that Andrew Barnabas himself left a link to it on an official interview's comments. I thought i knew a lot but still managed to learn new things from this

[@Brumsly]

MediEvil 1 & 2 were such highlights of my early childhood. They’re still very near and dear to my heart. Thanks for making this. 7:40 I’d kill to get my hands on this book!

[@tomasdiera]

Amazing documentary about the story behind the MediEvil series. Love how smooth the editing is, well done. The game is a unique masterpiece featuring its own style and atmosphere with tons of creativity.

[@playeveryday01]

Started playing the 2nd game and had a blast and wanted to know more about the series, I had no idea about the PSP game. This video was a perfect overview start to finish.

[@spencersoloduka6030]

As a musician, I appreciate the attention to technical detail in regards to the music production

Let's Hope We get a Medievil 2 Remake and Medievil 3.

[@marcellosilva9286]

MediEvil is my favourite 3D platformer on the PS1, surpassing even Crash and Spyro, so this documentary was extremely insightful and informative, great work.

[@arananation]

I remember when I thought these graphics were amazing and couldn’t possibly get any better

[@giusep6017]

Great content, keep up the good work! That was a great generation of games and fortunately I experienced it as a child. I think the modern video game industry has lost a lot of that magic. Even with today's advances in computer graphics, Medievil is still a masterpiece with an unparalleled storytellig and soundtrack. Nostalgia hits hard on this channel!

[@rgbsax]

I miss this game, wish they had continued the story

[@KaiiiYuh]

One of my favorite childhood games and I still own and play them on my ps2. Thank you for this video! It was an extremely fun watch :)

[@id104335409]

I want Game of Bones!!!!!! With sparkling snow like the sand in the game Journey! And big ice crystals and icicles and eerie winter and icey sounds!

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

Game of Bones?

[@cheese4g]

This was fascinating! I started playing the remake today and I absolutely love it! I hope the game gets a proper sequel soon!

[@theakspud]

Just subbed. Loved this game series so much. Never knew they made 3 of them only played the first one for dozens of hours growing up.

[@MINI_91]

I played a lot of MediEvil 1 and 2 with my best friend back when we were 8 and 9 years old. We always took turns and we're scared of the games, but we loved them. We also teamed up on each of our PSP's at the end of MediEvil on it because we could not find the last item to finish the game. Love this franchise. If only Sony would give MediEvil a proper big budget third installment.

[@tahutoa]

29:35 so if there's this bit that takes care of the plot so you don't lose track of what you were doing, and the save anywhere feature addresses loss of progress... what was point of making the levels shorter?

[@lightcrusader4404]

Amazing video!!Medievil is my favourite ps1 video game and i hope to one day play the ps4 remake.It shows that you have certainly done a lot of research on the history of Medievil, as well as on all your other videos.

[@DarthDarklorD]

This doc makes me all the more thankful to have been on the receiving end of the original in the late 90s and makes me appreciate the remake that im still in the middle of. I have a family now so it takes me even longer to finish the game lol.🎉

[@Marksnus]

Why isn't this channel more popular. Great vids

[@voxatious3920]

Oh my God this is a very well done video, good work dude! Just recently replayed the original game myself through an emulator, much love for this game and its creators

[@Skirakzalus]

I dunno how much I like the original pitch of MediEvil 3, but the additions of middle eastern elements like the anubis stone and a djini would have made far more sense in that than having it in a remake of the first game. Also Dan having to fight for his own death happening sounds really fun. It's weird how there hasn't been done more with such a beloved franchise.

[@myboyfriend95]

3D action hack and slash isn’t as popular I guess

[@harrygraham5810]

Jamespond was awesome, and medievil was my first ps1 game along side ff7 been obsessed with medievil since, wish they had made more games of sir dan

[@Hynotama]

I love the fact that there's more of Dan's skeleton visible in the PSP game.

[@thehonoredone2361]

Sadly I did not grow up with this game since I was a ps2 kid. But I do know if I did, I would have loved it, the theme, design, characters, weapons and abilities, World building. It would have been right up my alley and I can imagine myself playing it for hours. Loved the documentary.

This is incredible. I knew Medievil was always special, what a game! A true masterpiece for sure, today at 35 years old I still listen to the amazing soundtrack and play it on a emulator as well. Pure nostalgia. Hail Sir Dan!

Found your channel today through this video, just finished it and man, you did a brilliant job. I plan on watching the rest of your documentaries! I'm curious though, do you think you'll do a Jak & Daxter documentary? If you're into Jak, that is. I assume you're into Jak going by the documentaries you've done so far but my bad if I'm wrong. I would also love to see a Psychonauts documentary, if you're into Psychonauts. I look forward to seeing more from you!

[@ReliableRhubarb]

Both are on my list, but I probably won't get to them until next year at the earliest as the rest of this year is already planned out.

[@AllDayRayRay]

MediEvil is a game I fondly remember playing as a kid. Specifically the Museum boss fight. What a legendary game. It was so cool to see the history. MediEvil 3 sounds like it would have been amazing! I feel bad for the ordinal creators when they destroyed their vision for the PSP version, but was relieved when they got the remake their brain child!

[@LandAnchor]

Excellent work thank you for sharing this.

[@1for3Gaming]

That Jack Frost pitch for MediEvil sounds much more up my alley than the time travel one.

[@MayheM_72]

Funny how you say women liked the Dan character. My ex wife LOVED Medievil, along with Oddworld.

[@ChocolatierRob]

Oh man, I hated that story pitch for Medievil 3. The genie was annoying enough in the PSP remake and it's a real shame that he came from the M3 pitch. I can honestly say that I'm very glad that never became the third entry. Regrettably it _did_ become a digital comic bonus with the PS4 version. The PSP remake I wasn't a huge fan of but while the puerile new direction was very disappointing the fully orchestrated OST was absolutely gorgeous. The PS4 remake was very high quality with a few misses here and there but *so* much better than the PSP version overall and the one feature that _every_ remake of a much older game should have (but no others that I'm aware of actually do) - it included the original game as a bonus that you could play and compare.

[@wolftales5203]

[@shakon1618]

Ive played through this game more than 100 times. Discover something everytime. Like stun locking shadow demons with the flaming long bow or that the weapon steeling imps wont come out if you have your arm equipped. It never occurred to me the entire game is at night. Is it just one night?

[@biervampir_aut]

[@dancomics5]

[@fluffy_preacher]

Loved both games and own the ps4 remake but the explanation of how the third game would have worked really peaked my interest and Sony really missed out on a great idea

[@CrispyChicken44]

I would absolutely LOVE if they redid Medievil 2 the same way they did the 2019 version. It would be a warp immediately

[@ericj810]

Been playing the remake rhis weekend. Bought the original the day it released back in oct 98.

[@adrianvalcarcelcastillo5141]

If the levels of Medievil 2, are places of London, why developers doesn't use more places? For example, create levels in Trafalgar Square, Camden Town... I lived in London and that city have marvelous places. Medievil 2 is too short in my opinion.

[@lordhershel]

That’s true. Actually there was a removed level called The Parliament which was the actual parliament in London and also the final boss had initially planned to be a gigantic zombie version of Queen Elizabeth

[@RAMBLINGS7]

[@montanajackson3713]

I would give anything to have fate’s arrow become a reality.

[@samflood5631]

If Medievil 3 and Game of Bones weren't cancelled, then I would have had a blast playing them, especially Game of Bones due to it being a Game of Thrones Parody. I would have love to see a knock off of Danerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark, Cersei Lannister, Theon Greyjoy, Sansa Stark, the Clegaine Brothers, Jamie Lannister, Khal Drogo, Ned Stark, Rob Stark, the Baratheon Brothers, Oberyon Martell, the Tyrells and so much more.

[@stevenhupop]

Una verdadera obra de arte, lástima que no recibió el reconocimiento que merecía

[@vadenk4433]

The little Imp's still creep me out. I really loved this game. Don't know why I bought it as I had only just bought a PS1 and this was the only game I ever bought for it. So I had Medieval & Crash Bandicoot. I was 16 and was too distracted by girls to waste my time on video games. I had things to do with my fingers other than pushing controller buttons lol

[@wolftales5203]

[@hugohagerup]

It's a huge shame that MediEvil 3 never happened. It sounds like an absolutely amazing game. I still hope that it will be created someday, but unfortunately it won't be in PS1 style graphics.

[@martwy777]

[@ertroid]

I personally think, that after an era of remastering literally every old game (which is fine to some degree) now developers should focus on "undigging" old unfinished ideas of games, scratch books, scripts which had never seen the daylight, due to some theirs original-company's complications or lack of money, cause those abonded games are literally gold mines of fantastic ideas to make a new masterpieces, like, otherwise it's such a waste for a game industry

[@utz2867]

Great vid

[@MCPunk55]

Well you can't use the guide because the mechanic of attacking while blocking has been removed, and enemies have become much faster and will always land a blow before your strike. I can make a flawless run through the ant caves in the original. In the new one, I'd be surprised if I don't die in the first chamber. Precisely because I can't block and swing...
