Any chance you'll ever do a documentary of SGGG (Segagaga) for the Sega Dreamcast? Somewhat an iconic Dreamcast game now even though many don't fully understand it in the west, that was a main title showcased on the recent Dreamcast documentary uploaded by Archipel titled 'A Dream cast part 1'. You could maybe get some help to get Jimmy Hapa to do a translation, the last two attempts have slowed down and seemingly given up.

[@monadoboy9670]

@@frankschneider6156 I knew that the game existed but didn't know the history or how the game played.

[@frankschneider6156]

Well Rez is of course formally a game, but it's in the end less of a game but more an intense audio-visual experience with game-play elements integrated. Child of Eden is very much the same, (but imho less good). His most "mainstream" and most unquestionably most successful game is probably the Lumines series, which is in principle just a Tetris clone with audio-visual effects, pumping soundtrack and rhythm- based gameplay mechanics thrown own. A large degree of "modernized" variants of old classics, like Tempest 2000/3000/4000, Space Invaders Extreme I, II or Pac-Man Championship Edition ripped their audio-visual upgrades to a large degree from Rez.

[@neat3468]

It was a great video. I knew nothing about Rez, I bought the game on PS4 VR because of this video.

[@BakedSalmonNetwork]

@@neat3468 your score for the vr version of the game?

[@TheIndulged1]

A not so good game but beautiful experience Res is brilliant for me who struggles to sleep due to PTSD, I find it relaxes me to a comfortable sleep with out night terrors, I use it nearlybevery night and it changed my life!. That's no joke I recommend it to other people that suffer from lack of sleep.

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

Yeah, there's not much that gets me as focused on a simple task as Rez does. It's so simple, yet absorbing to sweep the cursor around and listen to the sounds play back as you fire off volleys of shots at enemies. I can definitely see how it would be beneficial for PTSD as it's very gratifying and not remotely stressful.

[@pferreira1983]

Great comment! Thanks!

[@JoKaiGonZo]

I genuinely think Tetsuya Mizuguchi, along with Yasutaka Nakata, was vital in shaping Japan's 2010 pop culture aesthetics. Dude's simply nothing less than talented. Thanks for this video, Dan!

[@cassandracastro2759]

Personally, I would have included Child of Eden, that game was totally intended as a sequel to Rez.

[@Boojakascha]

I agree, but I guess you meant prequel!

[@MrSTVR]

Just a reminder Rez Infinite does not require VR so you can enjoy that masterpiece without a headset.

[@MrSTVR]

@Jason Voorhees check the Steam page. Infinite is a remaster with optional VR.

[@strain42]

I think it's a darn shame that Complete Histories like this aren't the ones pulling in the big numbers like you said because if I'm being honest, it's specifically the ones like this, when you cover some game series I'm not familiar with or in some cases have never even heard of, that I KNOW I'm in for a great video. Stuff like this, Bounder, Mr. Nutz, some of your best videos in my opinion have been the ones where it's not some big famous series, because I know the video is purely a passion project at that point, and it's always a treat.

[@Ronin1984]

I have played a lot of Child of Eden and definitely fell in love with that game. Now that i own a Ps VR i will play Rez since it looks so gorgeous! Thanks a lot for this amazing Complete History, Daniel!

Could you cover Rez's prequel, "Child of Eden"? It's also an absolutely stunning experience. It uses a cheesy tactic to pull in the player more by having a pretty pop star being the character you need to save (in the game, she's an AI who runs Eden) but that hardly detracts from the experience. Some levels are so gorgeous that I actually teared up at certain points. And that End Credits song . . . I don't know if I've heard many songs in my lifetime which are so beautiful.

I love this game. I've bought it on a few systems. Most recently the VR port. Which is the best edition ever! This game embraces tech that I grew up with. My dad had a Tempest machine. I find vector graphics beautiful. Rez uses the vector presentation beautifully. The music is top notch! I like that my actions augment the soundtrack. Rez is a game I'll play until I'm 90 and blind.

[@andrewryan4115]

Wow this was really awesome!! Complete histories are great, but doing a weird little gem like REZ was a genius idea that I seriously enjoyed. I was only disappointed a bit that you didn't mention Frequency or Amplitude. I suppose I can dream about a complete history of those :) Big ups bruv!!

[@videogameobsession]

@@superanthony2266 No, of course they aren't required, but it's a much better experience with them. Same goes for stereoscopic 3D. Both of which were the intentions of Rez/Child of Eden's creator, Tetsuya Mizuguchi. He shows off both here: /watch?v=__tMMbwsnDs (The slight lag you see on this video was later reveled that he was demoing the beta version, which still hadn't been optimized. I've played the final version w/ both 3D and Move controllers and it's the way to play, just as Rez is much better with PSVR.
