    Power Slave on the saturn actually did a lot of unique things for the genre. It wasn't just a DOOM clone. It was a metroidvania.

    Bulk slash as one of the most impressive fanmade english patch I've ever seen.
    Not only did they translate the text but they also hired voice actresses to redub the whole game in a 90's anime english dub way with all of its charm and cheesyness. And on top of that the patch also mods the game to add support for the Saturn's twin-stick controller.
    Best English patch for any game!

    Saturn had cleaner 3d graphics, than PS1, because Saturn didn't suffer from the ugly texture warping.

    • @The_Prizessin_der_Verurteilung
      @The_Prizessin_der_Verurteilung 8 месяцев назад +1

      Because PlayStation did all its 3D through software, whereas SEGA added the VDP2 chip for hardware 3D at the cost of ease of development.
      The Saturn is the 2nd strongest machine after the N64, but PlayStation was both easier to code for, and not limited by a cartridge with a mere fraction of the storage space.
      Both are still stellar systems though, it's hard not to love either of them.

    Saying Powerslave is a Doom clone is doing it a great disservice and is not even remotely close to a fair comparison. Sure, its an FPS from the mid-90's that is sprite based but that's where the comparison to Doom begins and ends. Powerslave is closer in its gameplay to Metroid than it is to Doom to be honest. While there are your typical levels, you get power-ups that allow you to reach previously unreachable areas (and a great deal of the very well hidden secrets) in levels that you have previously completed. The game isn't just about shooting bad dudes, exploration is equally if not more important, of which platforming plays a decent part in. You don't find these qualities in your average "Doom Clone". Great video otherwise! :D

    Saturn 🪐 is very misunderstood as a 3D machine, it’s not that it couldn’t do a stellar job, it’s that it took a greater skill set to understand the more complex hardware. Travellers Tales did an incredible job with the engine on Sonic R, quirky controls aside, visually it looks stunning imho.

    Also, Dynamite Deka got its name because Sega didn't have the license for Die Hard in time for the game's launch in Japan. Hence the different name in Japan. Also, the Japanese version features an old Sega arcade game, Deep Scan, as a minigame that's playable from the game's menu. Scoring well in Deep Scan unlocks extra credits to use in the main game. Very helpful when you want to beat it!

    @knightsabre2k Год назад +1

    Gotta say, it's kinda weird hearing a Brit call PowerSlave by its american name instead of the name it took in Europe, which was Exhumed. As mentioned by others, it definitely wasn't a doom clone. As you progressed, you got extra abilities that opens up new areas of the large map, like a metroidvania.
    Bulk Slash is a very cool game but It's quite clear why it was not released in the west. Aside from the poor position the saturn was in at the time of release, the game is really short and you can blast through it in a couple of hours. The game also made extensive use of digitised voice samples to guide the player around the map, like in Burning Rangers, that meant that the game would need to be completely redubbed in english to allow it to work, which was probably a cost any publisher wouldn't want to take on.

    I really like your channel, but I doubt you ever played Powerslave (Exhumed in EU) when you're calling it a Doom clone. It's a first person adventure game with shooting in it, similar to what Metroid Prime did years later. The gunplay was only one of many aspects that made the game, it was nothing like Doom at all.

  • @joezep
    @joezep Год назад

    Others commented it but I thought it be worth bringing up as well, if you have a Saturn emulator or a way to run burnt CD-Rs you can get an outstanding English patch for Bulk Slash that dubs over the voices, translates text, and adds twin stick support. I need to try Powerslave more the next time I have my Saturn hooked up. It gets pretty open and exploration heavy as it carries on making it feel similar to the Metroid Prime even if it starts off feeling like a Doom clone. The lighting effects are wild on that game, and I've heard the 3D analog pad feels great with it. Lots of fun titles on here, always love seeing the Saturn covered more :)

    I still have my Saturn...too bad games are so stupidly expensive now.
    On a side note...the Saturn wasn't 3-D impaired....it was extremely complicated to code for and Sega upper management screwed the pooch over and over again with asinine decisions that doomed the Saturn before it ever had a chance. That bad management killed the Dreamcast as well.

    Find Street Fighter Zero 3 for Saturn on the cheap. 😂😂😂 That's a good one!
    The Saturn version came out later than the DC version & has an exclusive Dramatic Battle mode (why you see 3 characters fighting in his video) which probably adds to its ridiculous going price.
    It's too bad they didn't include this feature in the recent Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. Maybe we can one day get a Saturn port to modern consoles.
    Exhumed/PowerSlave is a really expensive one too but anyone wanting to experience it, it got a Remake for Modern Consoles.
    Grandia for Saturn, also didn't come Stateside but there's an English patch for it.

    This is the first time I came out from one of these videos without anything of interest to check out later (already knew Powerslave thanks to its modern port), no wonder why SS flopped so hard.

    Isn't Grandia a Japan exclusive Saturn game ? 🤔
    How do you manage to play it in English on the real hardware ?

    Athlete Kings is a nice looking game but it is limited to just 2 characters.
