Deep Fear is a survival horror game developed by Sega for the Saturn. Is it the answer to Resident Evil that Sega was hoping for on their dying 32-bit console? Or is it just another pale imitator buried in the wake of Capcom's unstoppable franchise?

The balance between my speaking and the game audio is a bit off in this one. The game's levels were all over the place, so I tried my best. Hope it's not too annoying.
Kill MONKE, save DOGGO.
All good brother just excited to get another vid!
No worries dungie
We’ll manage bro. Thank GOD for your videos.
AUGH!
Ah yes, a former Seal Team 6 member in his early 20's who now works as an emergency search and rescue at a deep sea base, when he isn't moonlighting as a Neurosurgeon and practicing criminal law that is. He also needs to make time to train with NASA on the weekends.
Sounds like Jonny Kim (current astronaut, is also a medical doctor, served as a naval aviator and Navy SEAL and was awarded a Silver Star)
lol, i see what you did there. you're missing rock star, though.
Are you saying Steven Seagal was in this game?
I read random paperback thrillers from thrift stores and I love it when you get a hero who is a maverick lawyer, ninjitsu expert and structural engineer.
@@innernetstrangerYeah, but is he only 22-23? That's the issue, the character is extremely young to have all those things under his belt.
"But I couldn't save everyone." - John 'No survivors' Mayor
Or anyone. Truly a great emergency search and rescue person.
@@planescaped At least he saved Rambo!
@@cerisewolfeahand the dolphin!
He crashed that sub...with no survivors!
So why didn’t John immediately make out with every person he met after he found out his cold was keeping him safe from infection? That way he would have made them immune like himself and perhaps he would pick up a few other viruses for extra safety.
"Extra safety" man 😂
@@cm-pr2ysprolonged safety.
it was never claimed that John was a smart man.
I don't think he's the kind of guy to think of something like that
Because that would make it an entirely different genre of game lol.
John’s head to body ratio makes him look like a goomba from the 1993 Mario movie, especially in the concept art.
Not to mention his in-game model looks like one rat-faced knacker.
Haha that's awesome, I've never noticed it before but now I can't un-notice it...
Just the comment I was looking for 😂
I love a stylized art-direction but that..........
This was the only reason I looked in the comments.
That subtle slide out of the way in fear by Mookie after that first transformation is just beautiful characterzation.
The most realistic reaction to a monsterization I`ve ever seen 😂
@@AirAnimeAngelIt's honestly right up there with the legendary slow turn while uttering 'You gotta be fuckin' kidding...' from "The Thing"
I almost feel like Mookie should've said "I've seen enough horror movies / hentai..."
Honestly, that's something Jim from Resident Evil: Outbreak would 100% do if he was in this game. LMFAO @@AirAnimeAngel
That blood was thick
japanese guy took one of the big jim suits, but didn't make it through underwater area, you can spot 1 less costume at the area and dude himself lying dead while walking through the ocean floor(at least that's what i remember from the other review)
Correct. If you go down the other route in the underwater area, that's where you find him. During one of the bits where you're walking away towards the opposite (When he's being harassed by the fish), you can see the arm with "3" on it in the corner of the screen.
Ah yes, the game ends with a possibly infected dog, and dolphin having escaped.
And the beasts are confirmed to not need oxygen. Definitely got them all
The Dog is not possibly infected, he just IS infected.
..
Not only do they not need oxygen, they're stronger without it.
I'm sure that won't contribute to them coming back and infecting the rest of the planet.
I'm losing it at DuBois's VA slowly not being able to keep up the voice and cracking into what sounds like an Aussie accent I'd hear on a kid's show on TV when I was little lol
Yes, it's definitely a journey lmao
YESSSS I love it when the Aussie accents breaks through lol
Dubois is one of my favourite characters just for the camp Aussie accent alone. Also I'm pretty sure it's implied he has a thing for John, calling him a "real man." Hmmm, subtext??
Whoever told him to do that voice must hate both French people and the poor voice actor.
When he says "what am I gonna do" with the Aussie accent? Mwah. Chef's kiss. No notes. Sheer camp
I grew up in USA, and had a Saturn. I saw this game featured in a magazine and was very excited for it.
Alas it never released in my region.
Later, I found out that there was a UK/Europe release.
It took a while but i ended up modding my USA Saturn with a chip and modifying a copy of the UK/Europe release and eventually getting it to play on my Saturn.
Then I heard the voice acting.... and it changed my life.😅
it's so bad lol
Very powerful performances!! 🫡
I want to say I remember that same magazine. I was jazzed! I want to say PD Saga and SF3 were in the same issue. Years later I bought a Hitachi Hi-Saturn and one of the many games I picked up was this, Super excited after all this time, and knowing it was in English, too!
"I'm right above you, Mookie. I'll be right there."
....expectations altered.
@@simondaniel4028 Sounds like we read the same issue and were excited for the same stuff.
@@Dilemina What do you mean by "modifying.a copy of the UK/Europe release", did you modify the game files?
when u said that his cold was gonna come into play later i absolutely burst out laughing during the "sshh! or the missile will launch" because i sincerely thought john was gonna sneeze
R.I.P. sweet Mookie. We'll always remember that you liked baseball.
1:05:40 When Pablo Kuntz (the first person to voice Albert Wesker) played the original Resident Evil with his son, he said that he and his costars were living in Japan for a while before they got cast in the game. They got used to Japanese people speaking to them in oddly phrased English, which desensitized them when they were asked to read the infamously weird lines they recorded. I assume the same factor is at work here.
"Don't OPEN THAT DOor."
BTW, the Navy doesn't have "Colonels" in their officer ranks! Their equivalent of Colonel is "Captain"!
Maybe it's not a goof but a clever hint that the spec ops team is actually a bunch of numpties in tac gear.
Colonel Crunch.
I like how John and Anna have more chemistry than John and the weird Stella thing with Dr. Weisburg. Also Rambo is a fucking cool name for a dog.
Pretty sure there was more chemistry with John and Dubios tbh. "John, you're a real man." Anyone?
59:00 “hurry john, I don’t want to hurt you!”
*slowest sarcasticist walk ever*
MC has that lucky Harem situation going on while dealing with Survival Horror situation.
How do I unlock Dubois route? 😂

You do actually see Ken again, When going underwater in the Big Jim, you can find another one laying on the ground. Examining it shows Ken is inside, and the visor is cracked.
Forget Aeris, Mookies death was a REAL tragedy
pouring one out for lil mookie 😢
i think it tops the black officer in RE2
@@xLadyRainei think it tops Marvins death in RE2
Deep Fear rebirth when?
@@kvrt_black It would great to see the monkey descending like an avenging angel in HD, let's make this happen
"But we can't go out because there's no air." "Right, What about the chimpanzee?" "He... also requires air to breathe"
😂😂
Oh my god, that was foreshadowing.
I still wish the final boss was the chimp instead of the lady suddenly transforming out of nowhere.
"It's a picture of Stella. Her smile never seems to change."
That's how pictures work, mate.
I would say that it makes sense that there are no cigarettes or easy sources of smoke on the Big Table because it's a pressurized environment. . . but you're firing guns and setting of grenades the entire game.
Half the voice cast has this as their only work, and the other half has a weird one extra role, outside of Ken who works in a lot of Gundam. John Mayor was Niko Bennex of Arc Rise Fantasia, Clancy Dawkins is Willy of Willy Combat, Ironfist is Alan Gado in Bloody Roar 2 and additional voices in Shenmue II, Danny Reynolds has the most recent role, an unnamed captain in the 2013 Rurouni Kenshin anime, and the biggest name is Mookie Carver, who not only also has additional Shenmue II voices, but is also the poor schmuck who voiced Astro Man and Duo in Megaman 8 and Zero in Megaman X4.
54:01 "I don't think they could've found a more "stock"-sounding effect for this."
All games use stock sounds. Even Dooms iconic door sound is stock.
Oh, that Kenji Kawai music. It's so beautiful.
Those synths + orchestra are *chefs kiss*
"I hope it's not Chris's blood." - Someone from another game.

_"What is it?!"_
15:38 a man covered in blood started to have convulsions and stuff
Mookie: OwO WHAT'S THIS?
YES! Thank you for covering this. I remember popping this import into my Saturn back in the day and screaming with laughter at the voice acting. It was beyond amazing. The problem was no one else knew about it (other than my local friends), so for years, the only people who would understand the jokes around the voice lines in the game were those few friends and my brother. The first time Dubois spoke I had NO idea what was going on or what the voice actor was going for. Everyone needs to play this game.
Also the final explanation of what the hell was happening at the end was all in Japanese. It took years until the English translation came out that I finally got the plot. And I was just as invested in Rambo’s well being as you were.
You do see what happened to the Japanese guy. You find his corpse in one of the Big Jim suits after he gets you to collect data.
Edit: It’s located in Connection Park. The barracudas appear to have gotten him.
Hold up, the _jetplane_ crumples under the water pressure, but _John_ getting shot out doesn't?
He's simply built different.
Still diggin this old Retsupurea Lets Play of Deep Fear from time to time. Nice to see you covering it.
me and a friend who watched slowbeef and diabetus cover it on retsupurae were so excited the moment we saw the thumbnail for this
Shhhhh... elevator sequence...
DEEP
FEAR
I would argue it's less influenced by The Abyss and more influenced by Leviathan or Deep Star Six. I mean, one could argue that they are derivative of The Abyss themselves, but The Abyss was more a character study than a monster movie or even horror and those two were EXPLICITLY monster-driven horror movies. Basically The Thing under water, complete with some body horror in one of them
Deep Rising as well. Pretty new movie at the time though.
@@JamieSutherland-jj8kp yeah, same year. But given the development time for both Deep Fear and Deep Rising, I doubt the movie was a factor in the video game's narrative development. Edit: then again, that voice work is so bad that maybe they did redo everything at the last minute to piggyback off Deep Rising.
@@Necrotron the RE guys liked Deep Rising enough to make RE: Gaiden in 2001 and RE: Revelations in 2012 lol
@@SA80TAGE good for them. Good to see Deep Rising influenced RE even if it didn't influence DF
If they weren't both released in '98 I wouldn't have been surprised if Sphere, had been an inspiration.
i am reminded of a let's play/ co-op channel called "robot co-op" where they made fun of this scene (16:09) where Rick said "This is 3 spooky for Mooky!" where Mooky ran away.
If you play with the Saturn 3D controller you have the option of regular 3D controlls instead of tank controls. Though because of the fixed camera the tank controlls often feel more natural in my opinion
that was such a great, weird controller.
I recognized the name Kenji Kawai from his work on Folklore, one of the most underrated PS3 games, in my opinion. The music in that game is absolutely gorgeous. Some other credits I thought were interesting that I didn't know about before are Mob Psycho 100, that CGI Resident Evil movie from a few years ago, the old live-action Death Note adaptions, and fking Ringu! That's so cool.
I also just wanted to say I really appreciate the way you fully caption your videos! They're some of the most accurate captions I've seen, and it's very considerate to think of how the captions can spoil something - they don't even seem to ever think of that for movies.
I've NEVER heard anyone else mention Folklore. That game flew under so many radars it seems like, but damn was it ever neat. And YES, amazing music!
@@oddzendz4933 Yeah it's a real shame! I think I've only heard one youtuber ever mention it before. Very cool and unique game, I don't think I've played anything like it since.
Johns va is wesker from THE original re1
The hilarious character names that dont make any sense is probably my favorite part. It would be like if we made a game with Japanese characters and they were called Sushi Toyota and Fuji Wasabi
This is the type of game that SOUNDS way more interesting than it ACTUALLY IS, but it's more likely Dungeon's excellent storytelling/script writing that's helping it along.
38:55 i audibly awwed at a goddamned low-poly bulldog, what the fuck
That Rambo is the best boi I've seen in a video game in a long time. Very good Rambo. Rambo better live thru this.
Epilogue: Rambo the bulldog goes on to be adopted by CW Bailey and helps investigate a mannequin that happens to come to life in a department store.
It's good to see 7th Dragon mentioned and hear about one of the people that made the game possible. I really dig the "it's so far into the future we reverted to medieval times but with magic" setting
I think Fujiyama is found as a corpse in the water in a suit.
I do love the super cheesy Resi clones like this and Carrier, the ultra-low budget nature of their production means that they lean into the cheese factor (out of necessity) and it's glorious.
this game was surprisingly pretty good and the controls were very impressive for a tank control game and of course it has so many funny moments. definitely a cult classic favorite of mine
Great job on the video. Watching this made me realize that you had to play the game, and had something to say about, and then have to make recordings of gameplay, tons of editing, and then upload. I'm exhausted just typing all that out. I'm sure I missed tons of heartache, and mistakes that will never be seen by us. I want to do what you do, but the fear of failure holds me back, and all I keep hearing in my head, is the saying "you miss 100% of the shots you never take..." 1:00:52 sounds like a euphemism, LOL.
I mean it's better for have an awkward year trying your dream and possibly living like a god than just locking into some dumbass dead end job then wondering what happened and how you are 50
The fear of failure is why most people don't achieve really anything they wanted to, and die not having done so. You know what you need to do!
4:20 I knew things were dire at SEGA at that point, but damn, poor Sonic.
Rambo lives!
“There’s that hand that wants to slap again.” 🤣 Fantastic video! 👏
Just wanted to say been really hyped for the upload since the announcement. You are very quickly turning into one of my favorite channels on here
The editing the music in the transitions, just absolutely love the vibe of this channel.
Your content is very much appreciated and I hope you blow up soon, still blows my mind you don’t have at least a couple hundred thousand subs given the level of quality
Deep Fear is one of the hidden gems that Sega ever made imo, it deserves more love and in need a remake
The soundtrack for the game is awesome!
Wow, this hits such a nostalgic itch… best era of gaming… I miss it very much
The head to arm scaling is something else
6:27
This game is in my backlog for years...alongside Carrier and Cold Fear
cold fear I remember, Carrier doesn't ring a bell though.
@@SA80TAGE Carrier is a weird Survival Horror on the Sega Dreamcast
Honestly, it seems like this was meant to be a deeply dark and emotional story but the dub team just wanted to make a joke out of the translation. It kinda pisses me off that most Japanese products were made into jokes in the 90's through voice actors not giving a shit and no one understanding the importance of proper translation teams.
Thank you for the comment about Extermination. I remember watching my aunt's BF start that game but never knew the name of it. It has been lingering in th back of my mind since the early 2000s!
1:07:54 The HK11 is an over-engineered German rifle, not a gattling gun.
No the HK11 is LSMG. That's a G11, an assault rifle.
54:04 HEY! That the same sound effect from menu of The Ring: Terror's Realm!
14:04 If you use the 3D Control Pad you can move freely and not with tank controls. It handles much better but whenever the screen changes its to easy to accidently move back to the previous screen.
I need to get a 3D Control Pad again. I only have the regular Saturn controller. I was busting my thumb playing the first Panzer Dragoon the other day.
always found it easier to use tank controls for these games with static switching camera angles. Playing the RE1 remaster with "modern" controls had me pulling my hair out, switching back to previous angles or turning the wrong way and getting stuck at bad times.
4:03 RE2 never getting a Sega Saturn port is the reason why RESIDENT EVIL CODE: Veronica was made. Sega had asked Capcom for a port of RE2 on the Saturn: when they were told it wasn't feasible from a technical standpoint (the drop in quality would've been significant), Sega then asked for an exclusive RE game for their upcoming Dreamcast machine.
Why would the drop in quality be significant? Isn't the port of RE considered to be (one of) the definitive version of the first game, which was made to run on the same hardware as 2? Or Maybe I'm misrembering and the port is ass lol
That's really interesting. Hm. I liked Code Veronica.
@@MrAweeze The Saturn port of RE1 had brighter colors and certain textures were better, but the poly count was lower and the shading was terrible. RE2 was a major leap forward, taking full advantage of the PS1's architecture: it's very unlikely the Saturn could've managed that. Given that the game was also ported to the N64 and PC (and later to the DC and GC), it's not that Capcom was being precious with it or anything: had they been able to do it properly, they would've done it.
EDIT: here's a direct comparison. At 6:48 you can see that the shading on the Saturn was nonexistent. RE2 had a lot more shading to simulate dynamic lighting.

@thermonuclearcollider4418 thanks for the info (no sarcasm lol damn the internet).
I loved these kinds of games as a kid, because I always imagined myself making movies like them. Ah, to be young . . .
Great vid
Yup those camera angles would do that for sure
I HAVE THE VINYL OST IT SLAPS
Fun fact, the HK G11 was a futuristic rifle platform designed in the late '80s. It uses caseless 4.73mm ammo, and fires from a 45-50 round detachable box magazine.
Rambo should have been promoted to Sega's official mascot.
Great video! Btw that "gatling gun" is not a gatling gun but an experimental german prototype assault rifle called G11 from H&K, it fires caseless ammunition, that's why it's firing so fast and holds so many rounds.
I have such a soft spot for this disaster. Although the channel has stopped uploading, Retsupurae did a hilarious riff of this game.
My favorite actual fact is that NOBODY believes John about the monsters at first because it's April Fool's Day. That has to be some of the funniest shit I've ever heard.
Fujiyama actually has a pretty interesting payoff! You find his corpse in his own Big Jim in the Connection Park while you're exploring underwater. Interacting with it tells you he probably got eaten to death by those annoying barracudas. I actually thought that was one of the more subtle and neat touches to the game.
But oh my lord, the narm on this is so good, I love it. Agreed with you 100% on that. It's not an amazing game, but the voice acting (ESPECIALLY Dubois) sends me every time. Thanks for covering this, excellent job as always!
I'm a simple man, I see Dungeon Chill, I chill in the dungeon.
Over one hour dungeon chill video. Let's make some popcorn.
Dungeon Chill is like if Grim Beard tried REALLY HARD not to ramble and the games are trying their handelt to get him off Track. Respect for your Focus, man, love the Format.
I agree, Grim beard can be so irritating at times.
I had to stop watching him
@@adrianinha19 I love Grim & will follow his trains of thought wherever they go, including derailments. Grim's a treasure. Dungeon Chill is also excellent & does his thing, which I also love.

Loved it! Video essays showcasing lesser known horror games are my new favorite thing, so glad I found your channel. Can't wait to see more! :) ( your Dead of the Brain video is one of my favorites btw!)
31:06 Every deep ocean documentary with footage of crushed styrofoam cups or aluminium cans exposed at depths flashed before my eyes. Aren't these fellas near the Mariana Trench?
Too spooky for Mooky!!!
Much like in another video talking about this, I feel like it could be interesting to see how a remake could work (possibly with some added bonus of playing the original, somewhere).
I mean, given how well the RE remakes faired, alongside the chance to potentially do more with it, now that over 20 years of improvements in design have happened, it could be something really special.
Played through a year or so ago. I enjoyed it but it is not something I would return to. Watching this video is much more entertaining than actually playing it. You get to see the story and the real strengths without the subpar and tensionless gameplay. It makes it feel like it would have worked better as a movie.
Johns va also did el blaze in virtua fighter lol
For certain line readings, John sounds like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. 1:00:58 "These dolphins don't matta. None a dis mattas."
Glad to see your channel blowing up. This is another great vid- cheers to the next.
Loving all of these deep dives. Your voice is perfect to listen to while I work! Keep it up bud!
Deep dives? I sea what you did there
SPOILERS!:
I really like how it ends with you being the only survivor just like the original Alien movie as the only ending. Usually in horror games that center around a crew of people there's always a way to save some characters, if not everyone. I also liked how they had the love interest that you'd except to escape with, turn out to be the antagonist and origin of the infection.
Really hyped for your Shadow Tower review. I love the King's Field games, so I'm interested to see what you have to say since I still haven't played these.
You felt REALLY strongly for Anthony, huh?
48:44
ACCIDENTALLY shooting a torpedo at a cruise ship? Good GOD, man. It’s the Lusitania all over again.
Dubois is actually Cedric from king's quest in a human suit !
I was hoping Dubois 🦉 would warn John of the poiiisonous sea snakes 🐍
Tank controls were the best solution for games with fixed camera angles imo. If the controls were relative to the camera instead of the character it would be easy to mix up your inputs when the character moves past a camera angle transition.
So, here's an interesting thing: the remake of the first Resident Evil in 2002 added an analog movement option that did exactly this, it moved the character in the direction relative to the camera. But when the transition happened, if you kept holding the analog to the same direction, the scene change would make the character keep moving in the direction they're facing. It was very clever in my opinion, although it takes a bit for us to get used to it, specially if you lean more into the classic tank controls.
only for horror games IMO.
If the scares weren't directly tied in to the camera like those games there would be 0 problems.
We've seen fixed camera angle games without this *quirk* since
@@vinny-zebu yeah I've played a couple of games with this control method and it feels clunkier to me... fixed camera angles are a thing of the past now though anyway so we probably won't need character-relative controls for any more 3rd-person games
This game also uses analog movement if you have the 3d control pad.
Analog controls with fixed camera angles are my favorite. Thankfully most RE games support it and also recent games like Tormented Souls and Alisa.
11:55 that "What's going on?" sounds exactly like when Ted's head is thrown in the trash by Junk Man's henchmen in the Incredible Crash Dummies
tbf the undersea concept is really cool, though so much more could be done with it
Just to think, once they found out the common cold was a preventative measure, he could have just coughed all over everyone still alive! Mind you, I love the craziness here. Entertaining.
I think dungeon chill is one of my favorite breakdown pages. Mostly because… of the hilarious editing.
Always a joy watching your videos. I found your channel about two weeks ago and I have to say these early 3d adventure/action games go right up my alley.
"The Navy Seals will come and seal the Navy area"(paraphrasing)
The game sounds like a good idea hastily executed.
John probably had PTSD. Mookie reminds me of the mechanic's assistant in CB's space shuttle episode a bit. DuBois? Sounds French so give him a girly voice. Clancy Dawkins? Tom Clancy plus Richard Dawkins? Selfish gene monster? I wonder if the Japanese VA is also terrible.
Honestly, DuBois sounds more like he came from a Monty Python sketch, than anything.
I think the Japanese version uses the English voices too.
@@PeperonyChease No, they have Japanese VAs for the JP version.
@@tessfabled4115 are you sure?
This game is amazing. I mean that in the best and worst way possible.
Yo! Ive been searching youtube lately for a channel like this. Thank you very much! And you made me laugh!
Amazing video. Loved the touch about tank controls becoming second nature. Because even modern 3rd person games still have weird control issues with the changing camera angle
This looks looks and sounds AMAZING. I can only hope this gets remade one day
Another great video DC! Interesting, informative, and the editing was great. I just wanted to leave a positive comment and let you know your hard work is appreciated 😊
