NOCTURNE Retrospective

- This is a little different than what I usually do, so don't think I'm abandoning animation! I was actually trying to get this video out before Halloween last year (right after the 'They Hunger Retrospective'- watch it here! • THEY HUNGER Retrospective ) but I ran out of time due to working on TNA. I forgot about it up until a few weeks ago when I decided to resurrect and finish it. This game had cool characters and a neat story line, and I believe it deserves more love than it gets.

This was so underrated. I loved this game.
I fell in love with this game so much ten years ago that I had a deep desire to create a live-action film based off it. Flashback to years later, I had made my rounds (sort-of) on my old RUclips account making machinima in 'Garry's Mod'. Long story short...I decided to create a sort of "fan-sequel" to this wonderful game. And so, I made a five episode mini-series entitled 'Nocturne: Celestial Tomb' then a continuation called 'Din of Healing Gods'. The final episode of the continuation is upcoming & another 'Nocturne'-related project is upcoming. I love the world, the characters, the atmosphere, the pulp-horror music...it was nothing short of magical discovering this gem of a survival-horror computer game.
It was a cult classic. I have unforgettable memories of this game. I was 12 at the time and it was so magical to just turn of all the lights and play this with a buddy.
whoa there buddy. lmao
@@agonleed3841 loooool. It does deserve a Resi 2 remake style fateful but fresh remake though cmon. We havent had any third person 1800s horror action game in... since Nocturne?
@@kulsevdasi LOL true
Hell yeah dude
I would like to see Night Dive Studios re-release this game on modern os's and displayed in higher resolutions
I really hope someone makes a remake of this game.
Me too
If they do; but fuck with Strangers hat.......I'll kill them.
It was so good for 1999. The story, the presentation, the voices, ... sure, there were bugs, but it was a great game and concept. Plus, Rayne. Daywalker with dual blades in the arms.
Fuck the remakes.
An underrated gem.We also need Claw and Blood remakes&sequels.
Seriously, for 1999 this game looks fucking great. Even for today, it aged very well
The reason the game failed is because it didn't run on anyone's pc. The Stranger's jacket's physics were way too demanding, because the game it's self was too ahead of the mainstream tech.
Great review though! Love it!
Yes I remember how bad it ran on my brand new Pentium 3 500Mhz back then. The Rage 128 Pro didn't help and the switch to a Voodoo 3 made it even worse iirc lol
The other issue is the camera angles inexplicably changed to create LESS user friendly controls.
The lighting system was ridiculously detailed.
@@ChrisMonvel the ps1 would not handle the shadow and the cloak physics
I can not believe that this game is not valued as it should have.
The atmosphere, the climax, the music, the characters, everything was very good in this game. The quality unfortunately falls in the last part of chapter 3, where you are in a factory. After that, it becomes good again.
My dream is to see a good remake, a well made, and hyperrealistic one.
Very good report! It made me remember many things!
Nocturne has given me very good memories, so did Stranger with a lot of hilarious situations.
I remember they had a pretty close knit fan club called "Spookhouse". Think they used the hidden character models in the game file and tried to make their own fan level. In the Blair Witch Rustin Parr game, Terminal Velocity even made a mention to this fan club and also a girl called Kazi Wren who was the admin or forum mod. Probably these guys contributed ideas about Rustin Parr
What a fantastic game. One of my favorite's from the late 90's.
One of my favorite games. It was way too scary back in the day, at least for me. Good times.
Man this game brings back so many memories, The atmosphere, the aesthetic, the all be it jenky game-play mechanics. Also the first ever game i played on PC. I dont think a remake would do it justice BUT i wouldn't be apposed to a TV series. Something dark, gritty and R-rated the characters, plot and scenery are practically begging for it (wishful thinking). Thanks for the review and the trip down memory lane !!
This was a very good video. At 9:30 you say the Chicago level is missing a lot of potential. In the game files you can find finished models of Al Capone and Eliot Ness, so they probably had more ideas, but didn't have the time to implement them. There are also 4 files mentioning UFOs, a saucer and a specimen.
Yeah this game really inspired BloodRayne. This game sees very interesting I would like to see a reboot or whatever of this game and same thing with BloodRayne
I have fond memories of this game. You're right, the atmosphere was a really strong point.
One of my favorite game. Good old days....😱
From how I understood it. Bloodrayne was supposed to be Svetlana, but in order to keep the rights to the Nocturne IP they created Bloodrayne. They fully intended on doing a sequel, but with how shit Rustin Parr ended up being and executive meddling it just never happened. Company closed.
And Stranger's VA died in 2003
Rufert You got it wrong. They wanted to develop Nocturne 2, but it got canned due to, from what I heard, Terminal Reality having beefs with their publisher - Gathering of Developers, who still held the rights for Nocturne IP. After Majesco became their publisher, Terminal decided to develop Bloodrayne, using plenty of things from Nocturne (including Daemites from Blair Witch: Rustin Parr game). Also, Rustin Parr game sure ain’t bad enough to consider it “shit”.
The Stranger reminds me of Caleb from Blood, both badass and both need remakes.
This looks genuinely amazing, I'd love to have a shot at this!
Really enjoyed this sort of video from you. You've got the perfect voice for this and it was really interesting to learn about this game which I've previously never even heard of, and I definitely wouldn't mind more videos like these.
This was a sick game, again like said, largely overlooked for obvious reasons. But it did industry tropes really well. I’d love to see this remade with all the flaws moulded out - the mysterious nature of the Stranger and the end of Nocturne could really lend itself to a sequel.
i fckn loved this game to death....but it scared me the hell out....so atmospheric...i think it still holds up well today....
trying to remember this game's name for the past 10 years...
Great memories !
The dude who voiced the Stranger was also one of the primary cast actors on Wishbone when I was a kid. I knew I recognized that voice.
In the German Version he is voiced by the German dub voice from Bruce Willis
I'm going to download and play this right away
+Obsc3n3 hey which download did you pick

Obsc3n3 thanks but that gave me a virus and someone tried to get my IP adress
Fantastic work Falconer! Quality retrospective, and what a great looking game for '99. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I was just thinking about this game after finishing Alan Wake. I really loved this game...it was way ahead of it's time...like at least a decade. It was probably the first game after Alone in the Dark that actually made me feel creepy back then.
I WANT... NO, I NEED THIS GAME!
please make more of these. i really enjoyed this one!
Stranger is on JC Denton level of awesomeness :D Nice review.
Tears because no Nocturne 2 :D
I've always linked Nocturne and Blair Witch Volume I: Rustin Parr together because they both feature Doc Holliday.
Woah an upload....
THIS IS DAMN RARE.
I really impressed with this game even today, I thought I am the only one to care about this game !
i still think this game and atmosphere was brilliant. would love some kind of sequel or remake.
@@polkod me to, its from a time when terror games, scary for real !
Razerdeckard yeah man I haven’t really jumped when someone or something tries to scare me. However wearing a sound cancelling headset I have jumped multiple times in this game to very brilliantly executed Jump scares. This game was an overlooked gem and if done right would have been an awesome horror movie.
Wow, you make these reviews really entertaining and interesting, I'd love to see more of this stuff falconer! :3
Technically there IS a sequel just not one that follows the cliffhanger; its obscure but following the Blair Witch Project, Thermill Reality released PC three chapter games to expand on the lore. One chapter focuses on the Spookehouse investigation of Rustin Parr's murders. You play as Holliday, a minor character in Nocturne, and the Stranger plays a secondary role. You even get cameos by Sventlana and other characters at the beginning of the chapter and the story itself is suprisingly engaging.
rather set in the same universe
Christopher Case Wrong, that Blair Witch game takes place before the Epilogue. And TR made only first game in the trilogy, second one was made by Human Head Studios and third by Ritual Entertainment.
OH I love these videos of yours, helps make this awesome month even better!
Great rundown of an awesome looking game! I wouldn't mind seeing more of these kinds of videos if you have more of them you wanted to do. :D
Ohhhh yay, another retrospective from falconer!
what is this a new video made by falconer 02, that's, that's, IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
No but seriously I do like your videos, and I'm a big fan of noobadventures.
keep up the good work
I loved that game! Thanks a lot for this video!
I hope to see more retrospectives ^^ These are great!
Avast found a threat when clicking that first link...
Love this game for so many reasons. I appreicate the video!
What was that song that the Werewolves howling to?
Lol did I really play this when I was 11 years old. Geeeez it was so scary! Played it with my cousin :)
Such a great classic game!
Why am I hearing bits of Half-Life music, like the beginning of 'Military Precision'?
fantastic review you made for this great game friend.
Is studio/developer behind this game still Active? They need to know we want a multi format remaster or sequel
Nope. Terminal Reality is long gone, unfortunately.
Love the trailer if only we gotten the movie
Were you ever contacted by the creator of They Hunger after the last retrospective video?
Tell them: make this fucking thing a sequel and take my money please
NOCTURNE FOREVER
nice video as always cant wait for next year video
This was actually interesting! Continue!
are you going to make season 2 of the noob adventures
+Minderbeäxtigt der Boss In the final chapter if you saw all the video it shows a part when gaylord enters in counter strike or op7 i dont know but these are the most probable because in one time i was thinking it was battlefield but i dont think it right now. That cant be cod because of the skins of the players and it cant be halo or another futuristic shooter because it was in the present. I really dont know in what game would be the season 2.
reminds me of half life 1 some how... also this was a really cool video and the game seems awesome! for its time!
wow, great review. Thanks for sharing!
cool vid pls do this kind of videos every halloween
This was really neat!
Nocturne A.K.A Silent Hill
with out jump scares
Best Game Ever IGN 10-10
i think there should be a remake of this game and after that many (and by many i mean many many many) sequels.
Imagine if they remade the game where the gameplay is like Resident Evil.
How did you manage to record it in widescreen without the black bars on the sides? As far as I know there are only 4:3 resolutions available...
Great review by the way!
This sounds like a game I'd enjoy playing. Too bad it is not available on Steam or current consoles.
I do like the original Bloodrayne too. You get to slice up Nazis as a Half vampire.
Your tone of voice is exactly like Goodbadflick's
so what to you think you'll do a retrospective next year
Hey man I'm trying to set up a stream of this game. Got any advice?
hey in the description you gave links to it in abandonware and i have downloaded but idk how to run it. Please help
I remember buying the game back then but didn't really play because either I couldn't run the graphics or the controls annoyed me... can't remember.
i remember that i was pretty far in this game then WIN XP had an update and lost all my progress :(
similiat to resident evil 4 place at 2:38
Kinda wish this wS remastered for modern consoles, because I'd love to play it, but who would remaster such a big project?
And that Dhampire would spawn her step sister, code name Bloodrayne
Anywhere I can play this game for free?
hey I'm having trouble playing the alternate download of Noctrune any help?
OMG I feel sad now it looks like a good game to and the story never got finished :.(...
hey uh which download did you use
Awesome game...angles...yeah...awesome story.. voodo3 dayz
my favourite game of my childhood ... and you forgot to tell about the song .. :)
at the Vendome :) good memories...
reminds me of call of Cthulhu dark corners of the earth.
seria increible traer de nuevo ese ambiente de estos juegos. Dios y Lucifer saben que el genero de terror se esta muriendo.
I feel strangely spoiled XD
please do a review of jagged alliance 2 ..no one ever did do a proper review on it
They should remake this game as a Third Person Shooter.
Third Person as in, like The Last of Us and Resident Evil, without those damn camera angles.
Hi Falconer , can you plz tell me the name of the outro music? Also thanks for the massive wave of nostalgia this video gave me XD
It was the credits theme to the game. I don't know much beyond some random trivia of the studio recording the female singer's voice over a phone call (weird, right?). If you want the song, I do have it. Contact me via discord or twitter and I'll throw it your way!
@@falconer02
thank for the answer I managed to find the songon youtube under the name "Kyle Richard- Nocturne Credits".
Also recording her singing like that ? Wtf? XD
Nice video. Subscribed.
For some reason I can't install this game on my windows 7, just stops at 99% and thats it :P anyone know how to fix this?
I am going to download that game :D
Hey which download did you use
I still have the complete game and book
Too funny 5:31
Camera angle view is the most disturbing thing in the game.Maybe this game deserves first person shooter view.
Either that, or over-the-shoulder like Resident Evil 4.
do you think the picture is foreshadows a possible sequel
+rickster gaming (rickstergaming) Sadly I do not think this is the case. They had planned to make a sequel, then the developers went another direction and did BloodRayne. I do hope a studio picks this up in the future and does a proper sequel though, but realistically I doubt this will happen due to the game's obscurity.
+falconer02 will you'll never know but thanks for showing me this game im enjoying
Do you van helsing ?
Cult classic top game!
Gaylord Steambath plays Nocturne.
HOW MORE TIME DO YOU NEED TO MAKE A Q&A. I GOING TO GO ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait a minute! It's 16:9. Okay, but HOW? Please, help me!
What exactly did i just watch Falc?
Falconer i really like minecraft the noob adventure can you please make season 2
