Yeah, that had me in tears. Amazing video, less of a great AVGN episode in a way because most of the good parts were delivered by the guest this time, but one of the most entertaining things he's done for sure.
Very shocked that this game turned out to be pretty decent. Unexpected episodes like this are fun.
Been having a blast rewatching older AVGN. I think Ninja Gaiden might be my all-time favorite episode. Ninja Finn is awesome; that training montage. xD
"No choppa offa."
"No choppa offa."
Also the two Bugs Bunny episodes. Dat man-on-rabbit / rabbit-on-man gratuitous level of violence:. o.O;
"Heh-Heh-Heh-HEHHH-Heh."
"Heh-Heh-Heh-HEHHH-Heh."
My two favorite episodes of all time are the original bible games episode and the sega cd episode.
Cool of the developer to give insight like that.
Really wish games would stop being rushed when there so obviously not ready.
Fantastic episode. Trespasser is legit one of my favourite games in terms of unexpressed potential, and playing it on a decent rig (compared to the ones of the times of course) and applying the first couple official patches is enough to fix most of the technical issues and the shitty hand controls. At that point the game is ambitious, is greatly atmospheric and has a real sense of survival going for it, long before said genre exploded (aside from the horror games). Happy to see AVGN talk about it, and instead of just shitting on it take the effort to talk about the immense ambition behind it, even going as far to have developer insight as to what went wrong with it. It's a game that was Far Cry + Half Life 2 several years before those games were even started being developed, and had it received a bit of extra funding and a bit more time to cook, chances are it would have revolutionized gaming with its advanced AI, it's open world-ish structure, its immersive nature and its emergent gameplay model that could have opened the flood of open world games far sooner than it happened.
Shit's Kitchen was out of nowhere and it was amazing, lol.

This episode was so good! It had lots of funny moments from game and Nerd and good information about game too.
It seems Trespasser had some interesting ideas and cool technologies for its time, but sadly the final product had lots of flaws. I wish we had more games like that (with better quality!) these days.

ugh. I wish I could filter those out of my subscriptions. They're awful.
I still see it under the avgn episode playlist on the avgn channel?
The latest episode was pretty good! Feel more like an old AVGN episode with the audio and motion graphics.
I wasn't completely against them until the recent Jurassic Park one,
terrible damn videos.
Might be a regional thing (I'm in Europe), but here's what I see:
It's missing there (I think it's supposed to be before or after the Pepsiman episode?), I've searched with the keywords Black Tiger, or Gottfried and it doesn't come up. It doesn't appear either in the whole videos list of the channel. At least for me. Weird.
I can still watch the video with the link on this page, I'll have to test with my VPN set to the US to see it it appears. It's not biggie but I'm curious.
I appreciate the fact it seemed as though he did it in one long take, which is seriously impressive considering he had to play the game as well, but I wasn't a fan of how off-screen the footage was most of the time, especially with how small it was (could've also been due to watching on my phone). I want to see gameplay when he's giving examples of why the game is bad, not squint to maybe make out what's happening. Least near the end, it was bigger & easier to make out, i.e. when bringing up the Genesis version having gore.
Also huh, he got Analogue's NES console, that's cool.

It was all one long shot. Footage looked fine on my laptop, but I can understand it being hard to make out on a phone.
I really liked the fact that he went all out on the sets, but it also really hammered home the reason why people don't do the "one continuous shot" thing very often. Made the episode feel more gimmicky and a little harder to follow. And he does stuff like read off a prompter or cue card and doesn't look at the camera. It's a lot of extra work but the end result suffers for it.
He's a great performer, fun episode. Obviously it didn't containt that much gameplay but it's the point of the formula, and it's not quite the first time half the episode goes away with setpieces and whatnot.
Yeah the part where he read off a cue card really broke the immersion. I'm glad James largely pulled off a one shot episode, but I hope he never tries it again.
I disagree, when done right they can really elevate a film/video. The problem is a lot of hacks who don't understand when to use it well try to pull stunts like this.
It's sort of like the movie. Whatever you think of the end product, it was basically a chance for him to do something he wanted to do which comes off in how he talks about shooting the episode which is fair enough.
Will check this out later tonight, I've never seen any of these Spawn games.
