This was my introduction to David Bowie. around 8th/9th grade, when it was still new. And to this day, he remains my favorite, I still mourn his death, and there has sadly been no other man I've loved more.
Your first mistake was running the Steam version, instead of the GOG version, which is patched and tested to run on modern hardware, :P Anyways, a lot of early 3D PC games are almost unplayable these days. Eidos published Urban Chaos was one of the first 3D games I had ever seen, and the first pre-GTA 3 open world game. Playing it now, damn if you can make it past the first few missions.
I found out about the better GOG version when I looked up how to get the steam version working, so it was a little too late for me at that point. And I definitely remember Urban Chaos! It actually came out about a month after The Nomad Soul.
@@viewistproductions you never made it to the David Bowie part... man you've seriously missed out on one of the most epic and nostalgic parts of PC video gaming history.
Enjoyed the video but disagree on the graphics, at the time it was pretty amazing. A futuristic city you could run around, running at up to 1024x768 with pedestrians and shops you could enter... it was pretty epic to me at least. GTA3 was still a couple of years away at the time. The FPS sections were terrible though, even at the time. I think if you played it at the time, you'd feel the nostalgia and joy for it that many of us feel. I can accept though, that coming at it now (or even 4 years from now when you made this video), it would be a struggle. A product of the time I guess.
also this game works fine with DGVoodoo you should always use the PCgaming wiki to run older titles, really no excuse to not do research like this and slander a masterpiece like this
You really deserve more subscribers but I think you really dropped the ball on what otherwise would have been an amazing video by not having shown the Bowie footage. First of all it's very misleading based on your title and just hugly disappointing. I played this game way back in the day and came here looking for that footage. He performs an entire song ingame and it's amazing and horrible at the same time. A small but interesting bit of pop culture history worth seeing for any fan of Bowie, video game history, or avant garde weirdness.
First off, thanks for watching. It's totally your call whether the video met your expectations and it's fine if you think it didn't. I made sure to include footage of both of Bowie's appearances in the game, but didn't include the music due to copyright issues. Sorry if you felt misled, but I hope you do stick around for future videos!
It is a terrible game to play (I have the Dreamcast version - the controls are even worse on that!), but the story is pretty cool - as are the Bowie moments, I think with a remake with a modern GTA5 style engine this would be amazing.
This game is AMAZING I spent so many hours playing this when I was younger and to go back and play it I still love it.
See you back in Anekbah.

I hope someday it gets a remake, those David Bowie vocals and dialogue deserve to be put to good use!
If quantic dream announced a remaster (Bowie bits in tact) I would preorder immediately. I have fond memories of this game and miss Bowie.
I can’t believe you barely have any subs! Your editing is amazing, and I think your channel is underrated!
Thank you so much!
I agree 100%
I bought the game in 1999. and with the patch it worked on the newer machine just fine. The game is amazing.

@@DrazekIronwing and the concerts playing in the bars... good times.
played it on release - and played it over and over and new the game completly :D
Any suggestions for the lever?😆😆
Can you, in your review, acknowledge that we, older people, had nothing like that before? To me, as a frenhc citizen, I was proud we had that.
Bowie did 3 characters. The band guy, the good guy Boz AI, and the evil city AI.
So many memories
Track ID for the Newstalgia theme song please.
I guess I was an insane Bowie fan, but I own it. What fan wouldn't?
Owned the console game, but the graphics... Still it's worth it because of Bowie!
Even more weird now!

Maybe it will need another look into. Now that we have the variant omicron. #gematriaeffectsnews24
Amazing game. One they should actually remake or make a sequel to, Quantic Dreams kinda took a different route tho...
It's baffling to me how you don't have tens of thousands of subscribers already, but that might just be me having similarly weird tastes to yours.
New variant
this game is great and you didn't give it a fair shot. how are you gonna try to review something with out playing the whole thing? disappointing

The Dreamcast version works okay on 5he Dreamcast.

1.89 on steam rn
don't hype, you can at least see the first Bowie concert pretty early on in the first city space if you know where to go
You need to download more RAM for your video card, yo!
Do you know what 'grown-ass man' means?
