[TAS] PSX Astérix: The Gallic War by wesen in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2017-11-20
Astérix: The Gallic War is a light-hearted action-strategy hybrid game featuring the popular Asterix comic book characters. You play as Asterix, Obelix and the rest of the Celtic Gaul army as they war with the Romans, led by Caesar, who have seized all but one territory from the Gaul Empire. After gathering your army, you must capture lands adjacent to yours by either clearing a platforming segment, a mini-game like throwing a Roman as far as possible or combat sequences.
wesen ( tasvideos.org/... ) runs through the game in record time.

I don't miss the constant loading screens from the PlayStation.

[@suqd674]

Yeah because PS2/3/4 don't have similar, or even longer loading screens.

[@luckymouse1988]

That roman throwing mini game is one of the worst games I ever played, never managed to figure it out.

[@giuliostefanocascone181]

I Conquer all the land but i fail every singol roman throwing,please help me!

[@luckymouse1988]

@@giuliostefanocascone181 The best advice I can give is play on an emulator and constantly use save states to be able to retry often. I still miss the two throwing levels on my map.

Roman bowling is FAAAR worse imo, can never get it right unless I put a ton on the line and get like half a minute extra time.

[@altair227]

Me too by luck at times but still it was annoying

[@miguelsousa7361]

is it mandatory to finish this stage to complete the game or can you skip this stage

[@spongyoshi]

I had fond memories of this game.. Never I would know you could break it so easily!

[@OgatRamastef]

50% loading screens 50% slow motion game Ahh, those slowmo games from 5th gen

[@solidbanjobanjo9367]

I couldn’t figure this game out when I was a kid haha

[@cmeow]

same

[@emmanuelchaussin5804]

When you are on the map, the game is a "Turn-based strategy" : You attack and then the Romans do it too. So, this is the funniest thing about this TAS : Romans never "play" on the map 😂. I had this game and I'm glad to see this game broken like this 😆

[@justgeniusgeertthings8614]

Impressive game knowledge. Especially the spawn location of all the out of screen soldiers must take time to master. Well done!

[@NZT600]

This is a bot playing. What kind of game knowledge are you talking about?

[@votpavel]

i played it years ago but how hard is the legit game with romans attacking?and what happens if you take over entire map?

[@unnamedsoldier1]

Nothing :)

[@justgeniusgeertthings8614]

It's not terribly difficult, but takes a while

[@jurandfantom]

great movie/cartoon licence usage :) good and enjoy;able game, played 3 times (100% always)

[@altair227]

Good old PS1 days i loved this game when i was a little boy and still have the disc believe it or not haha

This is the 1st PAL PSX TAS

[@daddydonovan6108]

Let me get the plot straight. Asterix and Obelix wage this war all because Panoramix wanted to polish his own Sickle?

[@justgeniusgeertthings8614]

Yeah but they dont know that 😅

[@daddydonovan6108]

@@justgeniusgeertthings8614 The only thing that i want to disappear from cutscenes is that narrator, hes captain obvious

[@daddydonovan6108]

@@justgeniusgeertthings8614 Yeah but you dont have to have narrator for everything. Hell, you could remove half of the narration and the point is the same

[@Antreasww]

Does this exist for ps4 too?

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

I wonder what a remaster of this would look like lmaoo

Where can i find the file bin or cui of this game?

[@davidmedina7349]

When i was young this was dope af now i wanna cut my eyes off... its shit to grow up isn't it

[@ninjacocktail]

Impressive! However, wesen lost some time at 9:02. You only need to pick 1 potion to beat French Alps, not 6 potions since you don't kill any enemy. It's a few frames lost, but still.

[@user-tf8dz1we4e]
