This game deserves an HD remake.

Dear God can we PLEASE get more stuff about Blast Corps? this game is so much of my childhood.

weirdly enough, i always loved the story? the idea of a nuclear catastrophe just seconds behind you really gave the game the little edge thats kept it in my mind since.. well, 1997

That Rare employee wasn't lying, Graeme had hit an absolute banger with Simian Acres!

That solar system business is fantastic! I played the hell out of BC way back when (full platinum, "You Can Stop Now", took me forever). Nineteen years later and I'm still learning new things about it. In all the time since its release, I don't think I've seen any game handle progression and secrets in a more satisfying way. Multiple hidden areas in so many maps, secret level on top of secret level, there was just so much of it, all revealed at the right pace and all serving as a genuine reward for exploration. I got a deeper sense of accomplishment from completing all the medal challenges than from any other game that comes to mind. The team did an amazing job with Blast Corps, and it puts a big, stupid smile on my face to see they look back on it fondly after all these years.

It is fantastic that Rare is doing these, months after the release of Rare Replay. Thank you, guys!

This game was actually really special and deserved more recognition. The soundtrack was also outstanding.

You have to destroy everything, or else the nuke destroys everything... Wait...

Loved the game back in the day. Poured 200 hours into all the platinum medals. Wouldn't do it again but I had a great time with Blast Corps. Thanks Rare.

The most original game ever made

Nah, the real reason the mech was designed to be piloted from the crotch was so we could chuckle every time we decided to "get to the cockpit."

this criminally underrated game is in desperate need of a sequel

The world needs a new BLAST Corps game with all the scrapped ideas shown on this video.

I never knew that about the accurate solar system simulation! That's incredible!

I LOVE how you staged that fatal drink accident. Even more, I LOVE Blast Corps. My favourite N64 game, with the most incredible scoring.

One of the greatest Games ever made. I achived all platin medals back in the days. i played the hell out of that game. it is still today in my collection. we need a HD remake here... or a complete reboot with the newest frostbite engine

02:01 I think it's called a cockpit

Why are there no games like this in the modern era of gaming? O:

Epic game, i still remember borrowing it in like 1998 or 1999 and devouring it.

Been trying to remember the name of this game for years. I thought it was really cool as a kid, super nostalgic. Can't believe I never knew it was made by Rare until today

I rented tbis game a few times in the 90s and loved it so much. Happy to be playing it again now and unsurprisingly its hust as fun now as it was then.

I was searching for this game for years. Looks so different from when I was a child! I thought the robot looked so futuristic lol

5:12 I knew that because one of the levels happened to be Sao Paulo race track of the Brazilian Grand Prix.

That was genuinely interesting, I had no idea about some of the stuff in Blast Corps, especially that solar system!

Graeme Norgate’s “Major Trouble” rocks out loud with some “thrashy” guitar riffs!

Japanese trivia: Japanese version of the game was called Blastdozer, possibly because corps was not easy to pronounce nor did it sound snappy in Japanese phonology. Any graphic asset that has BC has been replaced with BD (e.g. medal, and the back of Backlash). And it’s got a better logo, and I would say better boxart. The nuclear thing was changed with highly explosive chemical for the obvious reason, but RDU is still called RDU.

The groin cabin finally did see it's day in full view of the public when Kojima did Zone of Enders.

Awesome, Awesome videos!!! Keep 'em coming!

imagine the same team getting back together and making a sequel

It was such a great underrated game. A hidden gem

I still have this game and have not finished it.

Rare: "Yeah we originally designed a vehicle with a groin cabin but it was a bit silly!" Hideo Kojima designing Zone of the Enders: "Yoink"

I love this video so much thank you Rare 😭

4:15 Ricky Berwick? Lol what? Imagine having that name.

Man, platinum medals across all these missions feels so impossible I just can’t even believe it! Just used an hour to get 4 of them…

2020 Still waiting for a real HD remake come on! This game was super fun I can't believe they don't continue it?

Simian acres, YEEEESSSSS. That was my alarm clock for so many years.

While I love the Simian Acres music, I can't help but feel it was a bit odd to reuse the boss music from Donkey Kong Land. Must've been Graeme's favourite track for him to reuse it in such a wildly different game.

That's a beautiful Fred Perry twin tip polo he's wearing.

I love that number 1, is that Blast Corps has no story. I think everyone knows that. And yet I still return to this game every couple of years to try to remember what the story was.

Lol at the perfectly timed ''time to get moving"

My God the game looks fantastic in HD

There aren't enough games like Blast Corps.

Love this and love Blast Corps

Im glad this game came on the Switch!

The game that Lorraine Chase played on GamesMaster was The Adventures of Yogi Bear (SNES). It was the Christmas special episode from 1993.

the fear and unsettling of the truck crashing with bombs if you dont destroy on time was scary this game was difficult but fun. nostalgiaaa

ok pero saquen una secuela!

I see Kojima took inspiration from your scrapped crotch robot when he made Zone of the Enders

Blast Corps would be an AWESOME VR game.

A new blast corps would be amazing

this game has the best music

I just don't get why they don't make a sequel. It's a cult classic! Someone kickstart a spiritual sequel posthaste!

That explains why the story never made sense. I would think that in this scenario, Blast Corps would deploy the J Bomb for every carrier level, with the thunderfist and a fast car as backup. They also wouldn't be wasting time doing races and destroying floating spheres inside volcano's. At the very least you would get a handwave explanation for why you get stuck with THE FREAKING BACKLASH for half of the levels!

blast corp is the best even know I haven't played it yet

I want Rare back!

This was one of the best games the N64 had to offer, it was exhilarating to play. It vaguely reminds me of Risk of Rain in the type of fun it induced.

The game was incredible but extremely eerie without population. I wish they made a post apoc rpg off this engine.

I had this games when i had my N64

"You are just trying to impress me" 😅

simian acres is a legendary song

Make a Remake of this game, please! One of The best of all time!!!

>Completes game "Great, now here are more levels" >Completes game "Great, now get all the scientists" >Completes game "Great, now get platinum" >Completes game "Great, now do the solar system" >Completes game "Great, now do it all in platinum" >Completes game "Great, now do all of it again with Onyx medal" Wat?

Omg Please bring back Blast Corps.

Back in 96 i thought I was the only one who had this game because none of my friends heard of it, come to find out 27 years later lots of people had this 😅 little late

How did this not make it to XBLA?

Still one of the best games made for N64

How long do wen have to wait for Blast Corps 2?

there needs to be a blast corps 2

Graeme Norgate made my childhood soundtrack

Lovely videos, please make another conker game!!

blast corps is a game that if they create a new one, even if is bad done, still would be awesome, the idea and the gameplay goal was so well idealized that even if someone recreate the game generic as f with unreal engine, still would be awesome

Rare bring back any classic IP for the next gen Xbox!

Blast Corps is one of the best puzzle games on the Nintendo 64 besides Lode Runner 3D and Rocket Robots on Wheels

I've still got the cartridge. :)

Time to get moving!

Did you guys intend to make one of the most dofficult games of all time?

The saveloy transporter lol.

1:24 was funny

#6: It's actually pronounced “Blast Corpse”.

also, the groin cockpit. not one mention of the Turn A gundam? it even had the same entry system, the cockpit would drop down to the ground, then pull the pilot up. the entire crotch could even launch off and turn into an aircraft...

banjo kazooie nuts and bolts would have been better if they used Blast corps instead of banjo and kazooie!

The way he says "Blast Corps" sounds like "blazko".

I think they never gonna make a video about goldeneye or dk64 or dkr cuz nintendo

Do a remake for switch! Would love that.

Why don't we have a Blast Corps Ship set in Sea of Thieves?

I never understood this game when I was a kid. And there was no Spanish version. I rented it like twice but I gave up, I was always stuck in the first level, never got what I was supposed to do

i would say "any chance of blast corp 2?" but i heard is official there no chance since it was only a one trip pony

Wait a minute... The narrator and some of the guys in the video seem to be calling the game 'Blast Core'... Perhaps that was the original and/or working title for the game? Fill me in, plz, +Rare Ltd

The game needs more memes

You're just trying to impress me

I REMEMBER I COTTON JOE XD

Good that this game is slowing getting remade by a indie dev.

Not a scratch on it

RARE HAD A KZfaq CHANNEL!?!?!?! *subscribe*

リメイク版…きてクレェ。

Are you trying to impress me?

its a game in which you pretty much have to 9/11 everything in the level...

so rare is xbox still pulling on your leash or will you ever go back to doing non kinect games

It's kinda hard to understand their British accent :/ damn...
