Man, I love this channel! Such thoughtful critiques on some really over looked games. Thank you!

[@TheAtoll]

Like seriously, how do you only have 10K subs??

[@GameBrainOfficial]

Very kind words my friend, thank you! All I can say is sharing/recommending my work to others is probably the most invaluable resource for growing the channel, so any support really does mean the world. But to be honest the size of the channel doesn’t bother me one bit, I just love making these videos and hope whoever watches enjoys them too.

@@GameBrainOfficial Your authenticity definitely comes through in the content!

Dark Mirror was the first game I bought because of a demo. Played the demo to death as a kid and loved it. After a year and a half, I got the full game and would play it over and over

[@GameBrainOfficial]

Won’t lie I played the demo so much on my old PSP and never got the chance to play the full game until years later. I know exactly what you mean!

[@jayblack7495]

Just goes to show you that you'll never quite guess where a future champ will spend their time cutting their teeth. Days Gone is a stellar world that's more well-realized than I initially hoped. Bend has clearly become a talented team to watch . . . Thanks for sharing this insight . . .

Good vid my man It’s nice seeing some coverage of the syphon filter games. Logan’s shadow as well are easily my favorite games in the whole series.

[@foreignboyrecords4031]

Many people dont realize Bend has been around for a while .. great vid

[@GameBrainOfficial]

Thanks mate!

[@gregrryt]

Wow, cheers for this, 2 of the best & most underrated games ever, I even bought a Vita just for Golden Abyss, also a masterpiece, Just the added shoulder view made Logan's Shadow amazing..

[@ndb6ndk99]

Your voice sounds alot like Modern Vintage Gamer to me, but the two of you couldn't look more different. I really enjoy your vids, good work!

[@KATTLAN.]

Man i havent played syphon filter since i was a child. I need to check thoose game out again. Great video by the way.👍

[@winlover37]

I just picked up Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow. The controls are a little tricky for me, but what impresses me is the detail they packed onto the PSP. They look good, and they have surprisingly good physics.

[@Thecassius]

Great video man, you should have more subscribers!

[@GameBrainOfficial]

Super appreciate man, feel free to share the video around if you think it deserves some more eyeballs.

Days Gone really is a very great game, but got negative reviews in the begining, because most people did as I did. Quit playing, complaining about how there is no chance on competing against the massive Zombie Hordes no matter how hard or well equipped you thought you may have been at the time. For those of us that came back to the game and did our best to avoid the Hordes as much as possible and performing Quicksaves when close to your Bike or in areas with beds for rest, which the quiocksave option was the most awesome option to be able to save game data quickly without being forced to lay in a bed and having time advanced 8-12 hours before you can resume. There are very specific player options that can be accomplished say in daylight hours(with less Zombies out and about) or using Quicksave and getting back out in the (Shit) game to beat that segment of play without losing all those hours asleep. Later in the game when New Automatic Weapons are available with much needed equipment and supplies to help fight enemies in the game including the zombie hordes, but also needed to fight any large number of agressors or plain hard to beat opponents. I am very hopeful that bend Studios is seriously going forward with a Days Gone 2 at a minimum. I absolutley love the game, game play with the driven tasks, etc. There are a few areas that need to be tweaked so to speak to make it an absolute #1 game contender out there. I'd start listing the changes here, but wold lose anybody that hasn't played past the Zombie Hordes. I learned what was needed and how to beat the hordes and before long was very aggressively pursuing the hordes and wanting more of them lol. If The Last of Us(TLOU) 2 finally releases in June of this year I'm pretty sure that with a lot of the changes made to the game story that leaked out to the public, that many players will be looking for an alternative game to turn to possibly. As in any game, after playiing for a bit changes to be made are inevitable, but massive changes that take a game in a whole new area losing the prized cahracters that have been followed from day one could be enough to turn most players away or at least lose that intense player desire to keep pursuing the journey as before. Not that I know for a fact that the fore mentioned game has in fact seriously made all the changes that were leaked out by a disgruntled emplyeee, but we won't know for about another month from now. Anyway, DAYS GONE 2 could and would be a great success if the stories could be continued with the same hard fighting characters doing much the same as now, possibly better then I know one fan for sure that would super excited to continue the awesome adventures of Days Gone. 2,3,4 or even 5.

This game had a dope multiplayer too! People are giving props and forgetting the multiplayer for these 2 then syphon filter combat ops, the online only game that allowed people to make their own maps and stuff.

[@GhostOfSparta305]

Great video! Out of curiosity, how did you capture 60fps gameplay for these games? Is it native hardware or an emulator?

[@Tempestelterna]

Syphon filter 1-3 are the best ever haha 😂

[@shonjones7231]

How are the ps2 ports?

[@GameBrainOfficial]

The ports are okay, but playing them on the PSP is the ideal way to play. The games are very clearly portable experiences in their design, and so it takes on a different feeling on console, feeling a bit out of place.

[@brunocar02]

now mention of the weird multiplayer spin off that died super quick? damn

[@thecanadiankiwibirb4512]

More water?! Mario water level ptsd

[@sugarsmile7852]

What about bubsy 3d

[@Brian-Peck]

Now that's old school. Eidetic days. They weren't Bend Studio then. Most people have never even heard of Bubsy 3d.
