MediEvil Series Retrospective - Long Live Sir Dan

[@HEAVYMETALmovie1981]

I am now and forever a Medievil fan. And Medievil remaster was a perfect example for remake done the right way and keeping true to the original game. #LongLiveSirDan :-)

[@jarradhurley4866]

Turns out it will actually be based on original and not resurrection.

[@callumkenny5147]

Thank fuck

[@grimmslytheghoul6950]

@@callumkenny5147 I share those sentiments.

[@gorman971]

Big relief

[@legacyofvrak]

It was my greatest fear at the moment when I heard about the remake

[@jogymogy3691]

I am very happy about it.

[@DarthVaizard]

Sony NEEDS to release a full collection. Sir Dan used to be one of their mascots like Spyro and Crash.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

I 100% agree.

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

I really love the original MediEvil. There’s just something so magical about it that’s hard to explain and has never quite been recreated. It’s dripping with aesthetic and it more than makes up for it’s graphical shortcomings. Even back when it first released it didn’t look great, but it still became one of my favorite games as a kid in spite of it and still holds up today. It’s like a game that knows exactly what it wants to be and executes that idea nearly perfectly. It feels like you’re playing through a fairy tale or something. The Order 1886 and Bloodborne have always given me similar vibes to it, just with an obviously darker tone. I wish they would make another game with a similar vibe to this one.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

I completely feel the same way man!

[@jeremycarnes1656]

I wish your generation would figure out what the word "aesthetic" actually means.

[@CocoHikari583]

Medievil 3 NEEDS to happen.

[@emptilion]

A MediEvil 2 remake would already be massive to me, becouse that game hasn't even been touched in any way again after it's original release. But yeah, a MediEvil 3 is the dream.

[@chakachaka4667]

I agree...please developers listen to us!!!

[@grimmslytheghoul6950]

You're damn right it does, perhaps they will look into it, perhaps after a Medievil 2 remake?

[@Fireglo]

@@grimmslytheghoul6950 Sir Dan Team Racing?

[@zeljkovlasic1632]

Well, they released an brand New comic named Fate's Arrow and said it was inspired by their failed and abandoned Medievil sequel, AND they said they might make Medievil 3 in future

[@Triforce9426]

Now that the first MediEvil has been remade TWICE now I think it's only fair that it's overlooked sequel gets some long-awaited attention. Remake MediEvil 2!

[@Akay4444444444444444]

MediEvil II has never even been ported! Not as a PS3/P/Vita digital classic or a PS4/5 classic

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

So Ressurection was forced onto the PSP as a launch title, only given a year to start and finish development, and next to none of the original team was there for the day to day development. Sounds like it was a miracle that the game was as playable as it was.

[@claudiukulcsar456]

And now they modified the graphics and put it on ps4 and ps5 in August so i think it is a miracle

[@ksrebelbuck7936]

It's honestly impressive how good the game is for how little time they had to develop it but at the same time it's story is worse due to the comedic take

[@biocola5720]

Thank you for creating this retrospective and bringing some light to this amazing series

[@QuickSaveAus]

And thank you & everyone else for watching it! It means everything to us that so many fans of this incredible series have enjoyed the video

[@aranerem3767]

Good times playing this game as a kid

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

I'll never forget waking up Christmas Morning and finding this game right next to Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid. That was a very good year.

[@oddmundeide]

you had nintendo and playstation? damn you were spoiled

[@UKURR]

Really nice retrospective, you have put a lot of effort into this!

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

I have such fond memories playing Medievil, mainly the first one. This doesn't need to be a franchise, but it deserves to be remembered as a classic hack n slash game. Truly a great, classic game. Indeed, long live Sir Fortesque.

[@MrEdders123]

Never played one of these games but this retrospective was really interesting, thanks!

[@MKatz]

I never saw this as a ghost and goblins spiritual successor but it makes complete sense! Well done my dude

[@Hynotama]

I just picked up the MediEvil remake for PS4 a few days ago and I'm having a blast. But I really wish they included the second game as well. Maybe even the PSP game as an unlockable. Being able to unlock the first ps1 game is great but it's essentially the same game. Oh well... I'm still really happy to play it. Maybe I should try to get the second game and play it on my PS3.

[@artsyartist9841]

Drawing him is as fun as playing the game!

[@vexzse627]

What a game this was. This retrospective 100% did the game justice. Fantastic.

[@KamenRiderBlackSun]

It’s sad that Sony didn’t even thought of adding this game on PlayStation classic mini

[@KoolRanch]

KamenRiderBlackSun I think it was due to the remake coming out; in that case, not sure why they just didn’t use the sequel instead.

[@linkikari]

This video is awesome, I grew up with MediEvil and this video opened up the nostalgia flood gates

[@CocoHikari583]

The remaster is not resurrection the remaster is the original ps1 version CONFIRMED!

[@nickmanzo8459]

Coco B fan thank Christ

[@locomojoboy2]

Coco B fan it just sucks that changed the look of the characters/enemies and atmosphere of the game.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

@@locomojoboy2 yeah! I found it unfortunate, that the graveyard was so brightly lit up and lost the ambiance of a creepy dank cemetery.

[@DustyTheKitty]

Resurrection was the reason I grabbed a PSP on day one of it's launch, bloody loved it! Hell all three games are worth playing if you can. Great video!

[@QuickSaveAus]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@RS-qv8vp]

Hope the creators would add worm in keyhole and dinosaur chase stages to remaster.

[@damienkrawczuk1435]

Gosh what a great watch, Iove watching doco's on memorable games I grew up with, modern games can't hold a candle to the games I hold dear, there to money orientated and remakes when done right are awesome, I love both the original and the remake, and the unlockable in the remake is just utter fantastic! the sequels and whatnot are ok but the original is gold, I would absolutely love to see a medievil with rpg mechanics - 'LV 59 Boomerang Arm with plus 2 tickle ability?' think about how funny and great that'll be 😅👍 love your retro run down Awesome job

[@michaelfortesque1331]

MediEvil Ressurection on PSP wasn't bad in my opinion but I still prefer the original

[@RedGhost2BlueToast]

I agree. Though I liked the music in resurrection

[@chrisossu2070]

It was a good game in its own right, but it lacked the unique atmosphere of the original.

[@emptilion]

@@chrisossu2070 That, and playing the game back to back with the original game, playing res felt slower. I had more fun playing the original. Res isn't bad, just worse than the original in almost every way.

[@MedievalRichard]

I for one can not wait for this! I have it on pre-order for my PS4 Pro. I played it back in the day and will be in the modern day. However, this time being even better! MR

[@jasdanvm3845]

So... Sir Daniel was designed and voiced by someone called Jason... First Jason... then Daniel... It's funny. MY NAME IS JASON DANIEL Now I'm gonna be more silly-ly obsessed with this.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

So true

[@natknutson1482]

I was listening to the devs of the remake. They said their goal is to make sure the original strategy guide could still be used, and use the entire og voiceovers with some additions

[@wmunn10]

not gonna lie, I REALLY hope they give this game a remake like like spyro and crash.

[@KaminoKatie]

They already did back in 2019

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

@@KaminoKatiethat remake really didn’t capture the atmosphere and feel of the original PS1 game tbh.

[@LyingSecret]

I'm a massive fan of Medievil (hello from the Medievil message board!), great video and some excellent editing as well as explanation for older and newer fans alike :D If I had any mild criticism of the video it's that at time you spoke so quickly at times that it was hard to pick out every word you were saying, though this didn't happen often, and quite possibly it might be just my own problem :P

[@QuickSaveAus]

He talks fast on most videos, but that's just how Russell talks. Glad you enjoyed the video and really appreciate the feedback! - Mitch

I'm from Brazil and medievil 2 is my favorite game all time. Thanks a lot for the great work !!!

[@communistwookiee4727]

Here after finishing the remake. I'd only ever played the demo on PS1, never the full game. It was great to finally play this game. Hopefully MediEvil 2 will follow.

[@DarkLore1992]

MMPH! AUUUUUM! AMAZING JOB!!! This needs more than over 2K views!!! Long live Dan The Man! He will indeed show us all!!!

[@QuickSaveAus]

Thanks! Really appreciate it. Just over 2k views is pretty awesome, but very happy to get more.

[@josephdawson5]

That evil zavork will never learn .

[@giantstingray]

If someone made an Unreal Engine remake of the original and kept all the original voicework I think that would be fine too. Great series and great retrospective.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

I agree

[@mikeyb9927]

Sikk game smashed it the other day fully completed 100% definitely should bring out more of Sir Dan 😁🤙

[@cogamer2642]

So much Tim Burton references in this game and I love it

[@CocoHikari583]

I think that they were going to remaster resurrection but when they saw the comments saying please don't remaster resurrection in the trailer comments they decided to start from scratch and that's why we haven't heard anything since december 9th.

[@Ssecave]

I hope so ! I loved the atmosphere of the first medievil. Resurrection made the game less "unique" with that constant humor. I hope we'll have a gameplay video for the gamescom but if we have, it will certainly be a resurrection remake.

[@ChaosCloud96]

I feel the same as I a swear down I hear Al Zalams voice in the reveal trailer. So glad they went with the OG game I really hated resurrection.

[@cfitz9823]

I grew up on medievil 1 and 2 (before I had my own income I only would get a new game every other year). I would love a new game as well as a remake of each of the first two.

[@BIGREDRoyalBear]

Did a great job on this video! Best game series!

[@M1STY-Q]

Im so happy that medievil 3 was turned into a comic which just came out

[@thiemo.]

Can you send me the source? I'm curious!!

[@thiemo.]

Yes I just bought it!

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

The comic was alright.

[@em.4774]

Wow this is a really great video of the Medievil series. Thanks for putting so much effort into telling us the history and evaluation of all the games :3.

[@QuickSaveAus]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@em.4774]

I did not even know that there was to be a Medievil 3 for the PS2. Hell I didn't even know there was a Medievil 2 until I looked it up back in high school. Which makes sense because I was confused as to why all chalices ending for Medievil 2 was a bad one for Palethorn being the monster replacement for Zarok. After hearing the plot for Fates Arrow on here it totally makes sense. It just suck that the next game would just be a remake of the first game for the psp. Still it was a good game. Looking forward to the remaster.

[@CocoHikari583]

I don't know why medievil 2 isn't on psn either.

[@seguuro]

Because it sucks

[@legacyofvrak]

@@seguuro i wouldnt say that, the gameplay was solid, and the story was ok, though it had some bullshit in between

[@23GreyFox]

@@seguuro No it doesn't.

[@G1NZOU]

Judging by how good the recent Spyro remake was, I have hopes that they'll do Medievil well.

[@unicorntomboy9736]

I am going to pre order it next week. I hope we get an all new Medievil 3 if the remake does well

[@hakureikirisame1173]

Bad news or maybe not so good? The remake was a pretty disappointing game..

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

@@hakureikirisame1173 it was not really disappointing. As a long time fan of the original, I myself can say the game delivered a *remake.* However, the new coat of skin looks great, but looks a lot of the original charm and atmosphere the original still has.

[@ultrixsoma2736]

DUDE, WTF. THAT MEDIEVIL 3 PLOT IS FUCKING GREAT!! WHY!

[@johnurbanek1027]

I miss MediEvil 2. It was always my favorite growing up.

[@pekingente88]

I only had the demo of it, and i remember if you are fast at the very end of the demo, u can play it a bit longer! but only like 10 sec or something.

[@LyingSecret]

None of the demo versions let you play past a certain point, no matter how fast you are. Do you know which demo you played any way though?

[@jawdude3703]

10 more days!!!

[@pumpkinpatch5]

You know you’re a Medievil fan when you won’t play on a console unless a Medievil game is available on it. I’ve played and own every game. I purchased the PSP just for Resurrection. I refuse to play the PS4 until a new Medievil game becomes available. I have my doubts about the remaster, but I’m hoping Sony will pull their finger out eventually and make something newly immersive.

[@gothioso]

Good video mate

[@CocoHikari583]

Medievil Resurrection... we don't talk about that game.

[@unicorntomboy9736]

What was it like? I never played it

[@unicorntomboy9736]

As long as Medievil remake is as good as Spyro Reignited Trilogy, I will be happy

[@ultrixsoma2736]

I hope the remake reintegrates the dragon and worm levels from the first game and the Zarothorn monster from the Medievil 2 ending.

[@civilwarfare101]

I should really play that remaster now.

[@Jordanmills93]

I know that they're going to be remaking the original one and all its Glory but I do hope they'll be able to put in some of the cut content that they couldn't added into the original game like the Jabberwocky or swamp monster.

[@moxwinters6165]

12:13 I’m sorry but is that the same guy who voices Murgo the Trader in Fable 1 and 2?

[@ShadwSonic]

I was already going to buy this remake, but wasn't really _excited_ for it just yet. Now though... well, NOW I'm actually kind of hyped! Shame that the second game won't be included (news that came after this video), but it sounds like the tweaks they're going to make to this one (something about making it be "as you remember it" as opposed to "as it was") may make this even more transformative an edition of the original than any of these "modern remakes" before it! Minus the mood change of Resurrection of course, that's not how "you remember it" after all.

[@loneronin6813]

As much as I love the character of Spyro the Dragon, Sir Dan is my favorite character that I grew up with and associated with the original PlayStation. Sadly I don't have a PS4, but I'm looking forward to at least seeing a Let's Play on the remaster! :D

[@SuaveSpyMojo]

Ditch Ratchet for a while, bring back Sir Daniel Fortesque.

[@ddssdd4415]

[@trapperscout2046]

I loved this game as a kid. Although, I always did hate the ghost ship level.

[@OranG_01]

Wish they would keep the resurrection design of dan for the remake It’s just so much better looking imo

[@DaNargh42]

The ending of Medievil 2 was actually dictated by whether or not you used the gattling gun

[@590275502]

Kia or whatever her name was can back the heck off, Dan is MY jawless cute cuddle bug!

[@legiongamer-works-podcaster]

We need a third

[@infinimetrical]

I love these games. And the reboot was well done. Now they just need to reboot Medievil 2.

[@FuryousD]

If a 3rd game was to be made I wouldn't want kira to betray dan I'd want her to help him fix what was done in the bad/true ending of 2, also I'd really like a remaster of 2 to be made just like the one we have now of 1 and for it to also include the original game like the remaster of 1 did

[@Cadency]

Hey guys! i just found this channel and i have to say i really like what i see! i will be keeping an eye out for more retrospectives because this here is a quality video and id love to see more like it

[@QuickSaveAus]

[@nickmyers3681]

So I’ve lived my whole life thinking the first was tbt only one

[@DoMythago]

Great Video! It's good (and unusual) to see a fair and balanced assessment of Medievil Resurrection -way too much hysterical and irrational hatred for that game imho. I am very intrigued to see what format the remaster takes..... Would be great if they remastered the first two and threw in a port of Resurrection as a bonus.

[@simonapril3381]

Medievil 2

[@Ssecave]

I hope the remake doesn't remake "resurrection" and focus on the 2 games without that forced humor with that sh*tty character that live into Dan's head. I remember the city with those immortal "little sisters". Scared the shit out of me ! It's maybe nothing but the menu of Medievil was a genius move. It launch you directly into the game. The OST was insane too. Hope both are remade perfectly with the remake. Great video btw, gotta watch other videos from you !

[@MetroXLR]

Given the latest trailer used footage of the original game as comparisons, I feel it is safe to say it is a remake like "N. Sane" and "Reignited" were for Crash and Spyro. Interestingly, the team the worked on the original game had the SAME concerns, but I hear that now they are Quote/Unquote "Relieved" with what they've seen so far.

[@jeremiah2432]

The person who made this video isn't really part of the channel anymore, which is a shame. So sadly we lost our MediEvil expert, but we will still 100% do a video on the remake as soon as we can really.

[@ray2dasherthedragon336]

That last statement of the remaster being of the ressurrection and not the original ended up being completley wrong since it was the original

[@senior_sakuga]

I think what I like the most of the ps4 version is the re done soundtrack, even more moody
