Does anyone else enjoy live action cutscenes in older games? Like when I see the modern Remedy games like Alan Wake 2, it just brings me back. Anyone feel the same?

I about died when they were revealing the truth about the murder and people be popping out of left and right 😂 I don’t know why that ‘nooo!!!??’ From the main guy got me dying laughing. But either way great job with this video

Smith and EASTon. Oh that's a good giggle.

Omg the fact that they specifically made the little communication watch a Casio makes me so happy and I'm not even sure why it just makes me nostalgic and happy 😂😂😂

Headhunter was originally released on the Sega Dreamcast. Then ported to the PS2.

I love this retro series. It’s so cool to hear the stories from some of these older games / classics and there’s no one better out there to cover them.

If only there was a classic psychological horror game series on your ‘to do’ list that had, say, 3 or 4 early games with incredible stories. That would be amazing, so perfect for the retro vault. 😉

Another cracking video Harry. Good to see you doing so well, you really deserve it.

Headhunter was and still is an amazing game that deserves a remake re4 style

Doctor Zweiburg's VA has to be the same as the doctor from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Damn, bro is unlocking some deep memory hidden away in my brain. I used to play this game a lot with my dad

I sorta expected the plot-twist to be the main character is the BBEG but this is a great variation on it

@VoidMyth-w9k 2 years ago (edited)

This game reminded me a lot of like a deus ex and black ops game combo (although they came out afterwards lol). It's like a gruff protagonist with sunglasses and amnesia is it's own game genre!

Absolutely love his lore videos. Can't wait for another outlast trials video.

Still going through your back catalogs and I love the retro series. Seeing your actual gameplay interwoven with the story is wonderful (love the tbag on Hank; given the limited number of interactions you actually have with him, the game makers really do manage to foster a fast hatred for him).
