The MediEvil remake is interesting. Somehow by only massively improving the graphics, it makes the gameplay feel better than before. It's crazy how no major gameplay changes were done! So if you got into this game back in the day, it came on a demo disc. And once you played that, you got introduced to wacky and dark game that stood out from other titles at the time. Sir Daniel Fortesque returns from the dead to stop the evil wizard Zarok. But throughout this while adventure I'm left with one question: Why did they make a statue of Sir Dan as a skeleton?
Let me know what you think about my MediEvil review!

The camera in the original version was the result of development commencing in 1995, with the release in 1998. The Analogue Controller released in 1997, thus development would likely have been extended by several years especially given the inexperience of the team with 3D. Additionally, we did not miss Analogue when we did not have it, and it took many years for games to adapt their control styles to make use of the right stick. XD

The gameplay was a lot of fun with classic action playform style, a great variety of weapons and the characters were fun and interesting.

Just want to say that the bigger reason why the camera wasn't able to be controlled by the right analog stick was because the original came out so early during the Playstation (one) lifecycle that the dual shock sticks weren't fully a thing in EVERY game. So the game had to be playable without them. Making separate controls for having a stick and not probably would've been too difficult back in those days. But the lack of 3D platforming creation experience probably didn't help either. But I have a feeling it had more to do with the type of controls from those days rather than the programming chops. Anyway so glad most games these days make use of all the things those games couldn't. Lol. Gaming has come a long way over even just the last 10 years or so. Let alone nearly 20 years ago when this game first released. And obviously from 30 years or more (just look at old school SNES or even NES games). It's always fun to take a trip back and experience those older titles. You should cover more games from those days every so often, Jirard. Pick some old school NES or SNES gems from the online streaming thing for Switch. StarTropics is a great example. I've been replaying that recently. It's challenging yet so well done for its time.

@JoshuaBailey 3 жыл бұрын

I don't honestly remember games using the left stick for movement, right for camera scheme until the ps2 era. I can't even really remember many games that even used the psx dualshock controller other than ape escape, probably because it wasn't released until late in the consoles life cycle. Even then, most of the early ps2 games (and ape escape) that did use the sticks used them for all sorts of random things for quite a while, like changing/using weapons and stuff.
