Something about the footage of Brightis really hit for me. Really seemed like the kind of game I would have wanted on the PS back then - like a missing Sony Zelda. Your vid inspired me to put together a pretty stellar Pi build, one I had been putting off for some time. I finally finished Brightis today. I played through using Google Translate, which was tedious but not too terribly bad. The translation was sub, but that's to be expected. Took about 13 hours, clear level 23, and skill coins 30/50. The text read 'You have been certified to level 7. Phew, it's finally starting to get hot,' lol. Guess I suck. You hit on so many of the points of this game already. It really feels like a great first draft. So much potential, but so many things that don't seem to be fully implemented or matter much. The moves/techniques in particular almost feel like they're designed for a different game. My go-to was just the upgraded shield slash, which you get REALLY early on. Also, a few areas where there are switches and things that don't seem to matter or do anything that I could find. I didn't look that hard I guess, but the final dungeon in particular had that GIANT area with the color puzzle, plus some elevators and levers that were completely irrelevant for actual dungeon progression. I'm sure they lead to some sort of treasure, but I felt so over-powered anyway it didn't seem prudent. The elemental weapon system too was skippable - I mean, I skipped it completely. Maybe it does make a difference, but there was no clear indicator as to how, plus the weapons were all weaker than my standard so I just ripped through. I did enjoy the game, though. The water dungeon and the final dungeons were both slogs, but the Sky Temple ruled. The battle system was cool and just something about the whole romp was a good time. I fully get what you mean about the soundtrack vibing with pure nostalgia; it definitely has that tint. I'd most certainly play through an english patch if one dropped. It'd be nice to not have to sit holding my phone up to the screen like a total nob lol. So Zelda it wasn't, but damn it was fun. I have no doubt this would have at least been a cult classic here in the states. I'd give it a 3, MAYBE 3.5/5. Now that I've got this sick Pi build, I think I might start tackling more of the recommends from this channel - keep those vids coming my dude 🤘 Oh, P.S. at floor 100 in the waterfall dungeon, you get a Proof Ring that essentially boosts all your stats. The dungeon continues beyond that though, so no clue if there is a bottom. -B

Thanks for the support Tyler, really appreciate you watching the videos! Yeah, I don't see why I couldn't sort out some downloads for the mixes. I have two new mixes planned for the hopefully not-too-distant future, so when I get those done and dusted I'll aim to upload them all here in one post. Keep your eyes peeled!

Tyler Moyer

Love your videos Sean! I feel like anyone who had a PS1 in its heyday had a handful of random obscurities that deserve their time in the sun, so a project like this is such a goldmine for us crate diggers. Would you ever consider uploading the audio files for your Club Playstation mixes to patreon? I’d love to rock these in the car or gym, old adverts and all, but really don’t want to give google any more of my money via Youtube Premium.

Sean Seanson

Hope its a good one :)

Excited for 2024!!

It's always been a personal preference to keep these longer projects as a singular video, a complete story from start to finish I guess you could say. There are definite benefits to splitting it up both in regards to time and potential views, but even if it's more work in the short term I usually go with whatever my preferred vision for the project is, and that's always going to be one big UNIT of a video :)

OH MAN, that Capcom video is gonna be M A S S I V E. Perhaps split into parts?

Sean Seanson

Much love. Thank you 🙏 (ps. Good luck with those Cryo games)

pmcTRILOGY

Hey Sean, your videos have inspired me to do some more PS1 playing of my own - and I'm sure they're going to be invaluable references whenever I attempt to play the Cryo games - so it seemed right to show some support. Best of luck with your 2024 plans!

Sean Seanson

I'll make sure it's in the wheel for you Matt! I also played it once and had no idea what was going on 😅

Sean Seanson

From Soft has been on my short list for a while. It might also be nice to make a video that only has 10ish games 😅

Matt Wade

Love your videos Sean! I'm not sure if it's obscure or forgotten but I would love to hear your opinion on trap gunner someday seeing as I literally cannot grasp it enough to beat the first level. Cheers!

great vids + great cats tyty

Have you decided on the next big publisher/dev video after Capcom? Would you consider From Software?

Thank you for adhering to your cat policies, which I'm assuming were penned and signed off by none other than your cats. For real, though, CAPCOM! That should be amazing. Capcom's contribution to the PS1 library is nothing short of paramount to the experiences I had as a kid. The Fighter's Edge cover art for the crossover games still hold a special place in my heart that I can't begin to put words to. I still think about World Tour Mode in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and wonder why it took so long for other fighting game franchises to offer anything close to single player content like that. Thanks for the hard work, Sean! Your contributions aren't just valuable in terms of entertainment, but serve a historical purpose as well.

Can't wait for the Capcom video!

Sean Seanson

better to be dumb than to get hit with a strike haha

Sean Seanson

Penny Racers, Gadget Racers, Seek & Destroy. So many secret Choro-Q games.

Karen Sykora

I recently started making a list of PS2 games I want to play using the VGL video and I'm nearly at 100 just through F. Though did find out that there were a full 3 Choro-Q games that got localised on there.

Luke Davis

Thanks for the update, and the videos as always. I was worried that you had a copystrike or something when the video went down and back up again. But yeah, sh!t happens and I enjoyed it the first time haha
