>City of Lost Children (Windows, PS)This game looks like a crappy modern game trying to emulate old 2D background 3D model adventure games. In fact, the presentation is really top notch, and feels too good for a random-ass PS game. And the gameplay looks like it was designed to be anti-fun, with no combat and endlessly perplexing puzzles that make no sense and would require guides for. Even the covers look fake! I had never, ever, heard of this game, despite reading a variety of game magazines when this game was released. If someone told me this was a hoax game someone made up just to insert it into various databases as a lark, I would completely believe them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7eXP9GJR2
This is what I mean about it looking fake. This looks exactly like Donald Trump. So obviously some modern person made this game as a joke. I have heard of cartoon fans making up fake episodes and inserting them into fandom wikis since no one is watching them.
>>12670404Doesn't look like Trump at all. Take your meds.
>>12670404Looks more like Dennis Hopper in Waterworld
I played that game. I got so turned around I gave up like 20 minutes in. >adventure game>starts in a room full of stuff>if you don't leave the room instead of poking around for stuff like in any normal adventure game, the sisters or whoever put you in the detention roomWho the fuck designed this?
>>12670397You know it's based on a movie, right?
>>12670397>Games that do not seem realeasy: every psx and sega saturn game from 1994 to 1997.Also every ps2 game from 2000 to 2001.Early years in each console, in every console ever feel like they are a fevr dream due to developers getting used to that console (put here any console)
>>12670680a "Delicatessen" game would have been kino
>>12670620u should have watched the movie beforehand
>>12670714now go play Peter Gabriel's "Eve" on PC and lemmi kno wat u tink
Is the movie any good? I want to see it based on the rating alone:>R for disturbing and grotesque images of violence and menace
>>12671003story's alright, visuals are awesome(watch Delicatessen after, then Amelie)
There is a reference to the movie in Duke Nukem 3D's World Tour new episode
>>12670397>>12670680>>12671132this looks kino,gonna give it a watch ive literally never heard of it before beside Amelie which was quite popular at release in my french part of the world.
I remember this game, someone I knew had it when I was 7-8 or so. I was too scared to try it, the back cover almost made it look like a horror game
>>12671132>>12671440>AmelieYou mean that movie based on our torrent benefactor Fitgirl?
>>12670680OP BTFO as usual.
The game isn't all that good and it's basically for the fans of the movie. It's similar in quality to that Men in Black Resident Evil clone. I think the DOS version is better than PS1. Not gameplaywise, but it looks better graphically.Overall it could have been so much better.>>12671003It's like a fairy tale for adults, but not in terms of those modern ones where they go strictly for shock value. It's great and it has stunning visuals.
Back to the topic at hand, there are a few other PS1 games that feel like mid-to-late 2000s 4chan shitpost shoops, and my favourite of the bunch is Austin Powers Pinball. It's such a random decision to make. I'm sure they didn't want to spend (or even HAVE) a big budget to make a tie-in game to a popular movie but pinball? Virtual pinball no less.Imagine if they made other pinball games for unrelated properties! Can you imagine stuff like, say, KISS Pinball, or Marvel Pinball? It's as ludicrous as an arcade game based on the band Journey. It would never happen.
>>12671556I see your Austin Powers Pinball and I raise you Akira Psycho Ball.
>>12671556How about an Austin Powers themed windows desktop simulator for game boy color?
>>12671583I'm more of a Dr Evil appreciator.
>>12671561That was decent for a promotional game (advertizing the 15th anniversary of Akira).
>>12671440>>12671132Then watch, A Very Long Engagement
>>12671583I rented this and played it a lot, it has a lot of unlockables and utilities and there were two versions of it. Weird little game but for 12 year old me it was fun, i never even seen the movie.
>>12670397It's based off of a very real French movie. Idk about the game but I think it was a ps one pal release. I think the director was involved with alien 4 the one where aliens swim underwater and stuff
