Rob zombie was cool? Really?

I don't have a dog in this race as I didn't know him back then and I didn't know him as a director but if I watch Dragula and compare it to other stuff from back then, it seems cool to me.

Tony Hawk is still pretty cool.

Me and him share the same dentist. He broke a tooth in my city and went to mine.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Both Mid games except for tony hawk but i remember that era, sure.

Rob zombie was never cool interesting or edgy.

He's like that guy in high school that had a mega horror movie boner, but it never went away.

 

[swarley64]

One is better.

God I loved that game

Rob zombie was never cool interesting or edgy.

Rob Zombie music fit perfectly for TM3. Def. a product of it's time, and it was a weird time.

Very cool to have kind of been the last bastion of analog to digital media and all the growing pains that came with it, growing up as a prime 90's kid it always felt like the future of videogames was only limited by really fastly evolving technology and the possibilities felt endless.

 

[Toots]

They were never cool

My mom’s favorite movie at the time was Armageddon hilariously though lol

Are you out of your mind Spaceman292 ? Or have you never been twelve or a mom ?
What are you gonna tell us next ? That playing an unplugged electric guitar in a moonlike setting isn't the greatest and most romantic way to express heartache ?



Celebrities of the 80s and 90s have a trememdous quality over nowdays celebrities in my mind, they seemed to not take themselves too seriously.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

lol (timestamp)

 

[Chronicle]

No.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

God I miss the days of PS One...

It was the best era imho, had tons of good 2d AND 3d games, and more games were put out by the big companies because game production didnt require the same team size as it does now.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Rob Zombie is a douche and so is anyone who gives themselves a stupid fucking name like that thinking it's cool or edgy.

Bruce is cool and so is Tony, The THPS games changed my life and I'm not exaggerating. Got me into skateboarding and punk/rock/metal music. If I hadn't played those games my life would've went in a totally different direction.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Remember when celebrities from the era you grew up in did things to promote their own business? Golly gosh Jee, it's better than it is today, with all of those people I *didn't* grow up with!

 

[Krathoon]

I see someone has been digging back into the PlayStation 1 games.

You are forgetting Bruce Campbell in Pitfall and Broken Helix.

 

[Krathoon]

You also had Rob Zombie in one of the later Twisted Metal games. I think the fourth one.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Remember when Tony Hawk was in an episode of Rocket Power?

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Dont remember the Nightmare Creatures 2 intro but that video is really well edited to go with the song. Btw lots more Rob Zombie in Twisted Metal 4.

 

[Krathoon]

There was also this weird little game.

[Cert.in.Death]

Remember? Bruce Willis is STILL cool AF

Condolences to the Willis clan.

 

[Krathoon]

Well. We can can still have A.I. generated Bruce Willis in a PS5 game.

 

[GymWolf]

Does anyone remember pax corpus?

I feel like i'm the only one in this planet that played that piece of shit because i never readed that name in any forum or topic ever.

Was it a PlayStation game?

 

[GymWolf]

Was it a PlayStation game?

Ps1 or saturn, can't remember.

Pretty sure it was ps1.

My friend bought it because he thought it was similar to tomb raider and i tried to play this piece of shit but it was absolutely terrible.

 

[Krathoon]

I just discovered this game called Iron Helix. It was a Sega CD and Win 3.11 game.

It was one of those FMV games. They got it on Archive.org.

 

[Krathoon]

They got a Windows version of Pax Corpus.

The game originally was supposed to be an Aeon Flux game, but they backed out on the deal.

 

[Krathoon]

I guess the Dreamcast version of Nightmare Creatures II is the best one. A little higher resolution.

They finally got the FMV cutscenes on it to run right in Flycast.

No need to be so snarky. It was still good shit regardless of the nostalgia.

 

[skit_data]

Tony Hawk + Rob Zombie =



(yeah I know it's his younger brother but anyway)

 

[Krathoon]

You still get actors hamming it up in video games. You got Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk and Nic Cage.

That woman from Firefly is showing up in an upcoming game.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

No need to be so snarky. It was still good shit regardless of the nostalgia.

I'm powered by snark, it's never meant to offend.

 

[Krathoon]

The Tex Murphy games and Command and Conquer games are also classics. Lots of silly acting.

I wish we had more games like that. I wish Westwood studios was still around.

I always love me a silly fmv game.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Whats with the shadow under tony hawk, its just one big huge square tile. That has go to be emulated video with an emulation error. No way the base game was like that ( i never played it., until the remake and I didn't like it, compared to skate 2 which was amazing).

How was Apocalypse? Good game?

As for the ps1... These aren't the games I think of.

I think and miss:
Vagrant Story
Suikoden 1 &2
Vandal Hearts
MGS1
Legend of Dragoon
Legend of Legia
Grandia
FF 5,6 (anthologies), 7, and 8.
FF tactics
LoK: Blood Omen
LoK: Soul Reaver
Tomb Raider 1-4
Parasite Eve 1-2
Brave Fencer Musashi
Mega Man Legends 1+2 and Tron Bonne
Castlevania SOTN
Crusaders of Might and Magic
Civ2
Diablo
Colony Wars
Wild 9
GT1 and 2
Road Rash 3d
Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Tekken 3
Spyro
Syphon Filter
Crash Bandicoot
Pandamonium

Thats just off the top of my head, owned and loved all these games and wish I didn't sell them for cash in the ps2 era... As I got peanuts, considering how much they are worth today.

PS1 era was amazing

 

[StereoVsn]

I remember when Rick Astley was cool. Oh wait, he was never cool.

 

[Krathoon]

There was also Capcom's FMV game, Fox Hunt.

 

[sendit]

Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Bruce Willis Die Hard

Rob Zombie? No. He is on the same plane as Insane Clown group.

 

[Drizzlehell]

so much love for Apocalypse ! i thought nobody remembers this 90s gem

Hell yeah, it's a really awesome game that holds up really well. It's ridiculous that it got such a mixed reception on release, considering that there hasn't been that many games that would do third person action in similar way before or since. Most third person shooters at the time would either put the camera behind your ass with awful tank controls, or it would be a 2,5D top-down game with pretty stiff action. But this game really has that timeless feel to it thanks to fluid control scheme, intense action, and dynamic cameras that give it that cinematic feel.

I also remember back when we were kids, me and my friend thought that this game must have been based on an actual Bruce Willis movie that we've never seen before because the idea of a famous movie star appearing in a video game seemed so outlandish and, at the time, such appearances usually only happened with movie-licensed games.

PS1 era was amazing

I honestly feel so bad for selling most of my games when I was younger. Shouldn't have done it but live and learn. I had most of that list you wrote and it was such a glorious time.
