On Survival Horror- you missed out a really important intermediate step between Sweet Home and Resident Evil. The 1992 PC game "Alone In The Dark" (and both it's sequels- all three of them came out before Resident Evil). When you include this step in your history of the survival horror genre, then all Resident Evil introduced was bad voice acting.
Yeah, I thought of it as well. Somehow, Alone in the Dark is getting more and more forgotten when it comes to the origins of Survival Horror. Sure, it was probably also influenced by Sweet Home, but the fixed camera angles and tank controls in a 3D environment that it brought to the formula were certainly very characteristic of the genre, for many years after.
@videoluver7 nobody thought RE was a remake of AITD. What we were referring is that its mechanics and gameplay were as influencing for survival horror as Sweet Home. Yes, so what if RE was imagined as a remake of Sweet Home? That doesn't take anything away from the fact that, when it came to tank controls and fixed camera, AITD was before RE and laid the groundwork for the genre.
I once heard a RUclipsr say that Missle Command is a survival horror game haha 😄 but hey I guess if a person's imagination and wackiness is strong enough to believe it , any game is a part of any game genre right
I'm pretty good at keeping up with current gaming events and news, but I'm so bad at my video game history. Lists like these help me get a bit more up to speed and I really enjoy them. Excellent job as always :)
We need to clear something up here, Castlevania Symphony of the Night was called the first metroidvania for a reason. It was a Castlevania game that was played in the style of Metroid. So all of the other games are nothing more than Metroid style games. I don't know why everybody wants to call these types of Adventures a metroidvania when they all are clearly Metroid style games.
I'll agree with you, even for the purposes of this listing. That said, it didn't garner the same attention. So if could be considered what Doom is for FPS's even if Doom wasn't the first FPS.
Zillion (1987) for the Sega Master System would like to have a word with you when it comes to who started the side scrolling “Metroid/Vania” style games.
Oh yeah here we go, computer science time. I don't have a computer science degree but I have worked in the field for 18 years so I'm going to give this everything I've got. Baud is a transfer rate, with each baud being a single 1 or 0 transmitted per second. These older systems only communicated 7 bit ASCII (not even a full byte!), but included 3 overhead bits per character for a total of 10 bits per character. So the 300 or 1200 baud options give you either 30 or 120 characters per second respectively. This would mean to transmit a full update of the 80x25 character terminal it would either take 64 or 16 seconds. They must have some cool optimizations in place to get it down to that one command every 9 seconds which I'm guessing was the faster option.
You seem to be a bit confused. You can't seem to decide whether you're trying to identify the "Ur-Example", the "Trope Maker" or the "Trope Codifier". The Ur-Example is the very first determinable proto-example of something. The Trope Maker is the first proper, fully-formed and recognisable example of something. And the Trope Codifier is the one that popularised and defined it in the public consciousness i.e the one that everyone wants to copy, as you put it. So the Ur-Example of the FPS was probably Battlezone, the Trope Maker was Wolfenstein 3D, and the Trope Codifier is DOOM.
6:13 Yes I can argue that metroid and castlevania SotN didn't start the metroidvania genre of games. That title belongs to the ZX Spectrum game Jet Set Willy.
Disagree: Jet Set Willy didn't have certain characteristics of Metroidvania genre games, namely the act of increasing your hero's abilities to get to areas previously inaccessible. Willy never got improvements, and as far as I know, there weren't any areas locked away from the player at the outset. Jet Set Willy is a great non-linear platformer, to be sure, but a platformer does not a Metroidvania make.
Suggestions for a part 2: Yae Ar Kung Fu (One-on-One Fighting games) Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords (Match 3 RPGs) Robotron 2084 (Twin Stick Shooters) Oregon Trail (Edutainment) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Melee (Mascot Fighter) Power Stone (Platform Fighter)
True, but Sweet Home still came a few years before Alone in the Dark. Maybe RE would have been much different if it wasn't for Alone in the Dark. It might have been a FPS like it was originally intended and it would have failed miserably.
@@PAKA62 People who actually care about games care about Sweet Home. That's why Resi, the most popular Survival Horror franchise ever, was literally going to be a remake of it. I can't think of many things Alone in the Dark actually introduced to the genre aside from fixed camera angles - which aren't a thing anymore, unlike many things Sweet Home first introduced.
Okay I'm legitimately surprised that the original starcraft, a game I had played a lot as a teenager in the 2000s and as a young adult in the mid-to late 2000s. I do not recall that custom map. I was so certain that DOTA in Warcraft 3 was the invention of the MOBA genre. Not to mention I actually have a lot of experience designing campaign maps on the original starcraft and you can't actually level up anyting in the original starcraft at all. It makes sense that it would be in Warcraft 3 because you have heroes that you can level up but starcraft does not have that. You can program that in a custom map on starcraft 2 and of course in heart of the swarm kerrigan can level up, but in the original starcraft there is no leveling up so even if that custom map did invent the MOBA genre it must have been pretty limited.
Ummm I hate to be “that guy” *adjusts glasses* but you do realise you just had a whole entry on populous without ever actually showing any footage of populous…
Ugh gawd I started myself gaming in 1984 and believe I have seen Rogue or even more accurate a friend's father was playing it while I was in his office room many years ago. Damn I got old but I still can't seem to remember and was wondering if anyone knew. What was the very first game to have respawning enemies!?
Peter is becoming Punter! If we don't stop he will become nothing but a pun. On a side note, I than Sweet Home for bringing us the survival horror genre.
Could you imagine if someone ran a restaurant the way EA operates? It's baffling to me how they can continue to...botch their games while seemingly giving no flips about the product or customers.
If you want some suggestions for a sequal I have one that's a must. With Pokemon being the largest IP in the world, Monster Collectors have become an extremely important and popular sub genre of RPGs. And the that sub genre of course owes itself to Megami Tensei, which is still going strong with the success of P5 and with SMT V on it's way.
About Rogue: I know it doesn't looks like, but it is an awesome game, I've been playing it during the past few years and from time to time I try to finish it again, so far I've neven been able to, but it is really fun anyway. I could see myself playing it all day if I was born on the 70's being 10 to 15 years old when it was at it's peak. Those griffins, dragons and ur-viles are horrible to fight against!
EA and Activison/Blizzard long ago adopted the classic corporate mantra of "don't make quality products when you can destroy quality products leaving the customers with no choice." World of Warcraft is largely to blame for this because it was the first time gaming companies had to objectively look at a game as say "this was TOO successful - people aren't buying new games." And thus the systematic production of "Just good enough for a year or so" model of game making was born.
Resident Evil was actually more inspired by Alone in the Dark. Without it, RE would have turned into another horror RPG with turned-based combat, probably similar to Parasite Eve.
While Sweet Home certainly had a bigger influence on the Survival horror genre it pains me that the C64 classic Project Firestart never gets the respect it deserves. It released the same year as Sweet Home and has WAY more in common with the modern Survival Horror genre than that game did.
The credit for the "metroidvania" genre will always go solely to the original Metroid to me, as it was released 11 months before Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest. It is true that the original Metroid and the first Castlevania were released at the same month, however the latter had a linear style.
Civilization/4x is the most glaring omission that can't be argued about, but Doom should be on here, too. Doom wasn't the first FPS, but it did spawn a wave of imitators so faithful that the only term that could be applied to them was Doom Clones. After Golden Eye and Half-Life redefined what am FPS could be, the Doom Clones fell out of favor, but they've come back in a big way lately. Doom may not be the first first person shooter, but it is unquestionably the first Doom Clone/Boomer Shooter.
Don't forget that Dragon Quest (or Dragon Warrior as it was originally released here in the West) basically started the JRPG. It was also the first video game to have critical hits (juuuust before Castlevania came out too). Should also shout out Final Fantasy the next year for also being one of the first.
I'd argue that Ultima (particularly Ultima III - 1983) did it first. The creators of Dragon Quest even say that much of Dragon Quest comes from Ultima III. Even then one could go 2 years further back to 1981 with Ultima I and Wizardry, but those lacked many JRPG (or CRPG) hallmarks that the 1983 Ultima III pioneered. And I don't buy into "if it's not made in Japan, it can't be a JRPG because that's the 'J'". JRPGs are a style/genre.
Was that Rogue or the Nethack section meant to look like Rogue? It skipped by too quickly. Either way you can just play Nethack or Slash 'Em, both are still amazing and way better.
The footage of Populous is actually from the 3rd part of the series, Populous: The Beginning from 1998. Also how dare you talking about Bullfrog without mentioning the Theme Park series?
Metal Gear-the primogeniture of the Stealth game. Seriously, what had stealth before it? It’s in Alien Isolation and Splinter Cell and Manhunt and Sly Cooper and The Last Of Us’s and all the Hitman’s and all the Arkham’s and all the Uncharted and all the Assassins Creeds and obviously all the Metal Gear’s which also includes camouflage.
Actually Pac-Man is the original survival horror game. The genre is not defined by RPG systems and puzzle solving but rather the idea of escaping from relentless enemies who can very quickly result in a game over. In essence, it's about running from threats more than confronting them which is why Resi fans complained about the franchise turning into a run-n-gun shooter during the early 2000s. But, even setting the mechanics aside, the idea of being trapped within a dark labyrinth until you collect all the critical items nessersary to escape while being hunted by hordes of relentless and deadly ghosts is something you'd expect from a survival horror title wouldn't you say?
A list with actual facts instead of the usual first internet website copy. Most people think that league of garbage was the first MOBA, but they only invented the name, because people kept calling it DotA genre, because.. well Dota All-Stars was the one that made it popular and aeon of strife was the one that invented it. tbf I wouldn't list "Souls-Like" as a genre, but I guess its now a very popular third person action rpg system. I mean the only thing they have added was that souls returning system and I wouldn't call that a groundbreaking new feature for a genre.

Rampart is not "Tower Defense", it's visually similar but has little to do with it. It's Missile Command + Tetris. It's an example of people retroactively applying a modern idea to a game without actually understanding tdr Sweet Home "It was one of the first games to utilize a fully cohesive world after Metroid" SMH. How do people believe things like this? Sweet Home wasn't even hot on the heels of Metroid. If you include just NES games you'll have lots of candidates, and the Metroid did not invent this either. "Fully Cohesive Worlds" have existed for about as long as there have been games. If you include a game like Sweet Home, I can find examples of computer games back to 1979, as long as there were home computers. There were 4 Ultima games out on the PC before Metroid, and many other similar games. Adventure titles often also had forms of open worlds. "It's likely the first game to use diary logs to tell its' story" A quick search finds games back to 1983 at least using diaries for storytelling.
Karate Champ by Data East was basically the first. It's also the first 1 on 1 fighting game where you can actually play against another player - Yie Ar Kung Fu came out later and only allowed 1-player was well.
Never heard about Rogue or rougelike games until it suddenly appeared everywhere at once a few years ago. Too bad I don't care for the genre. Even Spelunky looks nice, but really isn't my cup of tea.
I'll admit I didn't care for the genre at first. But they can be pretty diverse. Crypt of the Necrodancer is fun. Hades is amazing. You just still might find one that suits you :)

You seem to be a bit confused. You can't seem to decide whether you're trying to identify the "Ur-Example", the "Trope Maker" or the "Trope Codifier".

So the Ur-Example of the FPS was probably Battlezone, the Trope Maker was Wolfenstein 3D, and the Trope Codifier is DOOM.
Sounds right to me! Ur Example is one of my favorite tropes, by the way. Always interesting to find out what the very first was.
Pac-Man is the first Survival Horror. You are stuck in a maze being chased by ghosts, you have to gather resources to progress to the next room.

Weird Street Fighter 2 didn't come up.........
Probably because Street Fighter 1 came out before it. Not to mention several other titles before that.
Flappy Bird has entered the chat.
Rampart is not "Tower Defense", it's visually similar but has little to do with it. It's Missile Command + Tetris. It's an example of people retroactively applying a modern idea to a game without actually understanding tdr
Sweet Home "It was one of the first games to utilize a fully cohesive world after Metroid"
SMH. How do people believe things like this? Sweet Home wasn't even hot on the heels of Metroid. If you include just NES games you'll have lots of candidates, and the Metroid did not invent this either.
"Fully Cohesive Worlds" have existed for about as long as there have been games. If you include a game like Sweet Home, I can find examples of computer games back to 1979, as long as there were home computers. There were 4 Ultima games out on the PC before Metroid, and many other similar games. Adventure titles often also had forms of open worlds.
"It's likely the first game to use diary logs to tell its' story" A quick search finds games back to 1983 at least using diaries for storytelling.
Yie ar kung fu was the first example of a 1 on 1 fighting game. Fight me. I'll be player 2.
I loved that game, but it wasn't the first.
@@timothygraham4304 ok I'll bite.. which game was first?
Karate Champ by Data East was basically the first. It's also the first 1 on 1 fighting game where you can actually play against another player - Yie Ar Kung Fu came out later and only allowed 1-player was well.
Hack and slash, beat em up? Platforming
What about square's first dating sim?
What about Shenmoooooo
Monster Hunter created its own genre. Don't forget about that one

Never heard about Rogue or rougelike games until it suddenly appeared everywhere at once a few years ago. Too bad I don't care for the genre. Even Spelunky looks nice, but really isn't my cup of tea.
I'll admit I didn't care for the genre at first. But they can be pretty diverse. Crypt of the Necrodancer is fun. Hades is amazing. You just still might find one that suits you :)
@matt It's okay to enjoy more than one type of game. It's also okay to try out new games. No one's been arrested for that :)
Rogue like! Whoooo!!!
Let's start the dumpster fire at mid night! Kidding of course
