Slave Zero - The Forgotten Y2K Mecha

[@AdrianDaWeeb]

Corax is literally a cartoon character. His voice, his movement, his wording.

[@alex.g7317]

Almost likes he’s going for that

Yes, the modern term is VTuber.

[@glitchedoom]

No wonder he's so good at animating everyone's other favorite cartoon character.

[@Generis_malewife]

Corax is slowly turning into a storytime animator

[@cepi7247]

and we're all here for it

[@zilog1]

Good...

Yep, just with more effort.

I am so in love with this new style of content you make now, Corax! I adore your animations, and I am so glad that peeps also watch your game review-type videos!!!!

[@sereapple]

Ah, what a festive and jolly video! We sometimes need a violent and combat-based Christmas in our lives, merry Christmas, Corax!

[@CommanderBohn]

I genuinely hope that if Slave Zero X sells well then we get a genuine remake of the original Slave Zero. But changed to fit more the original concept where both the titular bio-mech and enemy Slaves look like more techno-organic nightmarish EVA-likes and the theme of becoming a monster to fight monsters and sacrificing some of your humanity is prevalent. Edit: Also Merry Christmas.

[@thenegromancer4695]

If they make slave zero 2 I just need it two be a DMC clone it would be perfect

[@teneesh3376]

Honestly, if we just get better patches for the current pc port, I'd be satisfied. You need so many fan patches it's insane

[@CinnamonToastKing]

These game...review? Re living? Whatever you would call these, they are fantastic. Great editing, great script, great bits/jokes. Keeps it entertaining from start to end!

[@mwikan01]

Nice! We had less than a dozen people on staff making this and made our own engine at the same time! Also, technically it wasn't complete as designed due to the Dreamcast version dropped on us in the last 6 months of development so we had to stop everything to tear it apart so it would even run on the DC. Great video, thanks for the love!

[@NixityNullt]

The scenery reminds me so much of Batman beyond and Bladerunner. Something about that kind of dark and gritty futuristic city covered in neon lights made in a dated 80s style is just so nostalgic for me.

[@NoManOdysseus]

I had to go back and check the split-second gag at "bionicles - i mean bio-mechanicals" because it didn't register at first... and i gotta be honest, I should be less surprised that someone made "caked up bionicle thing"

[@NecromancyForKids]

It would be fitting that the mechs would be called "slaves" since I believe the name "robot" originally came from the word for slave.

[@crackedemerald4930]

What i conclude from the two mech shooting games I've seen, is what makes a mech fighter is to strafe really fast while aiming.

[@thedogmen.]

Love these longer video essays you've been doing, Keep it up man!

[@elFulberto]

Getting stuck in videogames because you don't know a word in English is a painfully relatable childhood memory for me.

[@TheCrimsonElite666]

I found this review because Ziggurat Entertainment recently released a Quake total conversion mod for Slave Zero X and with the blessing of id Software, it was released as an official add-on for Quake Remastered. Seriously, I'm not making this up, there's so much effort put into this TC and it's unreal how Ziggurat Entertainment released this for free, especially on the Quake engine. Great review by the way, this game looks like a fun mech shooter, and is it just me or does the Slave mech look suspiciously similar to a Warforged from D&D? Although considering that Slave Zero came before Eberron, it's actually the other way round and it seems that Keith Baker has great taste.

[@santaratree]

I was having a really rough day today, and seeing that you have a new video made me really happy! Your animation and videos are always so enjoyable!

[@Gojirilla]

When a dude you watch for his animation talent drops a video essay on one of your favorite classic PC games and it's super well done.....you know you did the right thing by subscribing.

[@joshualam9746]

Your avatar looks way too devious for how nice you are.

[@yakov8745]

can confirm trains are still dangerous in slave zero X

[@turbostrike1632]

Bio-mechanical mech designs are always amazing.

[@bingusboobus]

30k views in the first 24 hours?? damn, i wish this was more popular. it's beautifully edited, narrated, and ofc the animation is phenomenal ❤ keep doing what ur doing Corax

[@TigrrGoesOHAI]

Old video game water is soothing. I remember just chilling in the windwaker fairy pools (not to mention all the other water in the game!)

[@Reynsoon]

I'm loving this turn into longer form nostalgia essays. Good stuff.

[@cyrus2395]

Everyone's rightly praising the great animation, but this guy's voice is perfect for this kinda stuff

[@strengthsleuth]

Liking the new series of videos!

[@treydavis309]

Haven't seen this yet but it's rad you covered this. When my dad was alive he loved this game and it seemed so unreal, like a dream. Good days. Cant wait to enjoy this video. Edit: I can indeed say I enjoyed this. Happy holidays Corax

[@bion-geek-le1109]

still can't get over how relaxing Corax's voice is

[@BamfIamone]

I knew English wasn't his first language but going from not being able to read as kid to now is impressive!

[@chrisbent5734]

Wow, I did not expect "Corax's Game Dungeon" for Christmas!

[@DopamineAddictt]

I ADORE these essay/nostalgia/review videos. The writing, presentation, and gags are all wonderful! You mentioned playing the game before you knew English. Are you not a native speaker? You sound perfectly native! I love your stuff in all it's forms, you're so talented it's inspiring!

[@brazilian_oak]

The fact that an obscure third-person action shooter from 1999 is getting a prequel is amazing but also refreshing I wonder if there are any other franchises that developers/publishers could do the same?

[@lf4227]

It’s not really obscure, but I’m waiting for a revival of the Gauntlet series on part with Dark Legacy that is as fun, arcadey, goofy, and made for couch coop

[@Vazerin]

Reminds me of Crackdown, My dad used to get Xbox and Xbox 360 Demo discs, one had Crackdown and NBA2K on, kept playing the Crackdown demo soo much my parents bought me the game for Christmas, its actually the game that got me hooked to Xbox as my dad kept buying PS and Xboxs and selling them later on when he needed money, soo after Crackdown i found Gears of War and Halo and by Xbox 360/PS3 generation ive completely dropped Playstation, used to play Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Devil May Cry on PS2 and Odd World Strangers Wrath and MX VS ATV Unleashed on OG Xbox so I was conflicted during that time

[@timmytop-hat8314]

I love being on your fantastical menagerie of patrons, can’t wait to see more from ya

10 MINUTE CORAX VIDEO? Jolly-hoh, Saint Nick! It's gonna be a good christmas!

Oh, never would've guessed that english isn't your first language

[@gall1541]

I gotta say, really loving this kindof content. Very chill to watch while working on things :)

[@Gewnast]

Corax has evolved his content

[@jtmarin04]

Had Slave Zero on Dreamcast and the game was hard enough without the control issues (controller really could've use a few more buttons to avoid right shift + another button shenanigans), but I always enjoyed watching my Dad play it. Thanks for the nostalgia trip and keep having good tastes in games! Gonna have to check out the prequel when it comes out

[@graham7784]

Corax doing what Corax does best. Being Corax

[@3n3my33]

idk why but I really like the way you said "ho-ho, that's chonky!"

[@breadlynlikesbirds]

this is so wild, literally like just a week or two ago i found out about slave zero because an artist i like is the art director on slave zero x. and ive been wondering about the original game and then i get this video on my home page

[@googeldotcom1675]

Corax, I’m glad you’re having fun with these because I’m having fun watching them!

[@Jane-qj2yk]

Slave zero is pretty decent for a game release in 1999

[@wiggytommy8607]

I’m so glad that this game got a prequel recently, and a great one at that!

[@olixor]

These stupid little half second edits are the greatest.

[@The_Queen_Chrysalis]

I used to LOVE this game, it was so cool being a giant mechanoid that could pick up cars and chuck them, and the sense of scale was so awesome!

[@AnimeSchoolGirl96]

I love this content!! Your voice is soothing and you have good comedic timing- hope to see more in the future

[@eggarino]

Watching videos on games i’ve never heard of but the person making the video has a genuine love for is my favorite type of content. Been having a great time with these new videos!

[@jesterbomb6763]

Somewhat unrelated but, it saddens me that there are MANY unique game experiences given to me as a child thanks to demo disks that I will simply NEVER remember. I’ve tried so hard to research it and remember the names or key aspects of the demo but it’s no use. Anyways, it was nice to hear about your experience with demo disks

[@demoniktusk758]

i heard about Slave Zero from Slave Zero X and i am beyond excited to play both, despite them being entirely different genres, i happen to be a big fan of both of those genres

[@sanderbos4243]

I love these high-quality reviews of old games you've started to do, especially with all the fun animations in between!

[@BadaBington]

you came out of nowhere for me and im glad you did, been looking for more creative and unique 'toobers to watch, quality stuff my guy.

[@analogbrayn]

ngl Literally found your channel by random chance when searching "Slave Zero" and the first thing I see is GamerSupps. I see you are a man of good taste.

[@baneoforion]

This is one of my favourite "b list" action games. i love the aesthetic! glad to see someone cover it.

I remember getting this for literal pennies as something that could be run on my crappy laptop and wasn't expecting to have such a good time lol Absolutely stoked for the next Slave-Zero launch!

While I initially subbed for the Jerma animations I’m pleasantly surprised with the pivot into video essay type stuff. It’s really good! Keep it up!

The best Christmas present I could ask for… Corax upload

[@TiredTom67]

This definitely wouldve checked all my boxes as a kid. Hitting up a microplay, finding and buying old pc titles was the best.

[@eros439]

Yeah I definitely relate to the video game water that is very pleasing. Like the “Final World” in kingdom hearts 3 with the water on the ground and everything and how beautiful it reflects the sky .

it is a great game! the concept is ahead. i still replay it some times. it is a great game!!

Corax's voice is so calming. Corax asmr when?

[@marsfeathers]

This was so fun to watch!! Love your energy and the pacing is perfect! It was really fun to learn about a game from your childhood and its nice to see the cool details and art direction without having to play a somewhat buggy older game 😅 amazing stuff tho forreal! I hope you do more of these sorts of videos, i think you have a lot to contribute !!

[@N0VA_ST0RM]

Should try 'Shogo: Mobile Armor Division' at some point too!

[@O_Livia903]

Hi Corax! I really enjoyed this video. I've never heard of "Slave Zero" before, but you described it well. For me, growing up, I'd play this game called "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance." I usually played two-player, with my stepdad. My least favorite part of the game was when you finish the sewers, and go into the crypts... Fighting skeletons and zombies 💀... Could never play that part by myself.

[@theduck7346]

Dude, i just LOVE these review videos

[@NightBane345]

Oh my god, I've wanted to find this game for so many years, but I never remembered the name. This game has a special heart, because got this game from my dad before he passed away, and I legit loved playing it

[@doclouis4236]

Anymore retro PC games you'll be taking a look at in the future? I heard some Jazz Jackrabbit music in the background, I'm guessing that's a game you have nostalgia for as well?

[@TheBusNinja]

Damn! I did not expect a nostalgia bomb of a rather forgotten game of my past to start off with springing the surprise of a new upcoming prequel to said game! Neat!

[@redwed6]

I think this is a good blend from game reviews to little animations! You had your last few videos be animations which satisfies that itch and you got these new videos for longer / more content from you with the little bits of animation in it! A good balance and blend of content I think!

[@TheLindenbeat]

I like this evolution of video format (:
