Let's play King's field part 1 - let's get equipment

[demonickthulhu]

just tried out king's field... not sure if it's the controls (which are pretty bad tbh) or the difficulty, but im finding it way harder than demon's/dark souls. and i thought dark souls was one of the hardest games i've played...

[Warghost1000]

I used to play this game, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

But seriously, I loved this game. Beat it, then played and beat the next King's Field. Looking at this video is painful, because of how terrible the graphics seem now, but it was cutting edge back in the day.

One thing I've noticed while playing this game is a lot of the value you will find in a weapon is it's behavior based on speed (as in stamina recovery rate).

Its good to keep daggers, as they are one of the fastest weapons in King's Field.

[rej72380]

The thing that made King's Field stand out amongst the RPGs during the PSOne era was it's stat increases by repetition. If you attack your enemies enough times, your Strength stat increased by 1.

[Thaibiohazard123]

No wonder why Fromsoftware created games like Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

They already did it since 10 years ago....

[Arppis]

This game has inspired Demon's Souls. Or so I was told.

[Vampirepigslayrr]

@Arppis It was made by the same company

[Arppis]

@Vampirepigslayrr

Oh, no wonder then.

[thedragonb0y]

@Arppis King's Field was created by From Software, in which they later continued the King's Field universe through Demon's and Dark souls.

Demon's and Dark souls take place in the King's Field lore.

(A hint is the Figure of Seath that is requested in this game, King's Field II "King's Field 1 USA")

@thedragonb0y

Thank you for the wiki! :)

[thedragonb0y]

@Arppis I got that info by playing the games thank you.

[Arppis]

@thedragonb0y

I never played King's Field anyhows. Just Demon's Souls.

[WhatEverLoser94]

the game good memories <3

[lenowin]

I remember the lighthouse, me and my friend derek, 14 or so, stoned to all hell, jumped off that thing repeatedly for no reason and tripped out on what was then top notch graphics :)

[TheEverskye]

I can't tell a face from an ass in this game. I'm serious. They couldn't make dots for eyes?

[thedragonb0y]

@TheEverskye This game came around 1994 two years after Alone in the Dark for PC which was released 1992 (the Playstation didn't have joysticks yet).

When Alone in the Dark came out, 3D was very new, so a lot of conventions used in later games didn't exist yet. Developers were still getting the feel for making a 3D game.

[TheEverskye]

@thedragonb0y Ah that makes sense, thanks for the info. I do give the 3D devs props for inventing this technology in the first place, amazing that you can give "3D" image representation on a flat computer screen.

[thedragonb0y]

@TheEverskye Been doing it since the 1970's with games like Maze War or 3D Monster Maze by using Map & Compass logic along with images representing the world.

The first ever 3D game that I know of was Battlezone in the early 80's when they added a 3rd axis (x, y, and z) in which the player can navigate in a 3D world.

For the time, the idea of being able to move around at eye level as if you were physically looking through a window to a virtual world, was quite amazing.

[MrTheMuffinMan321]

You can run?!

[Tchekov006]

Great games. I never knew they made a third one (4 I guess but I only played the U.S. ones, 1 &2).

I remember some heavy as hell armor... Promeus or Ruinous or something that was awesome but you couldn't run or something.

I wonder how much these influenced Morrowind/Oblivion.

[MrGimpyLoser]

I still like this game more then Demon Souls =)

[iHoldeni]

Damn... Looking at Demon's Souls and now Dark Souls really puts into perspective how far videogames have come. I really like how From Software has always focused on making games for the core gamer. Even though King's Field games weren't the best, I still had a lot of fun with them. Dark Souls, however, is going to be amazing...

[thedragonb0y]

@iHoldeni From Software is definitely one of the few gaming companies that still make VIDEO GAMES as apposed to just an "interactive movie experience" which we see in most games today.

[Kiobeshinobi]

This game is horrible...

[Tomatoeshrimp]

are you a pinoy??

[liorana]

@Tomatoeshrimp no... my voice is more natural in my king's field 4 lets play

[gshark2092]

this proves that from software is epic and now that dark souls will be coming out... jiiiiiiiizzz. wait what was i saying?

[Renton59RC]

We've finished the japanese version, my brothers and I. We didn't understand anything!(we are french!)

I finished it again in the french version!

One of my favorite games forever!

Thanks!!!

[mopbrothers]

1994 Playstation.

[Vampirepigslayrr]

there is actually a downloadable king's field for the pc called "dark destiny" where you play as dias

[MrNintendogames]

王のフィールドは最高



[fess1996]

this game owns

[glade20]

i loved this game

[TR00PER1994]

oh my god what memories of this game from when i was a kid i remember my dad beating the game and i watched the whole time but that was a LONG time ago good times

[waldenpondogre]

In what part do you kill the Huge Krakkhen?

[rankidonstreet]

@waldenpondogre any part, just get to level 10 before trying

[assfault88]

Awesome!! It's Demon's Souls's grand-father!

[ghosttube4]

I went looking for this game because I recently bought Demon's Souls for the PS3 and it reminded me of this game. I spent hours trying to remember the name of this game. I loved the first and its sequel but never saw 3 or 4 in stores back then.

[MassLurker]

@ghosttube4 the game titled Kings Field outside of Japan is actually Kings Field 2. KF2 is part 3 and the Ancient City is part 4. Part 1 was never localized and has a much smaller scope than the other games.

[covmeister]

KINGS FUCKING FIELD. HOLY SHIT. Man, this game fucked me up. Impossible to play, yet intriguing enough to make me want to try over and over. It was ahead of its time.

[kidharris55]

i wonder if there is such a island with random scary monsters that has never been discovered.

[QwoPhasaArius]

I like your accent.

[Archedgar]

Great game, I finished it over 10 years ago.

I don't remember if I knew how to run though, lol, I saw you run in this video and went WTF.

Melanat is huge, I hope I figured out how to run, if I didn't omfg.

[piromaniac9999]

@Archedgar is this the first game to come out in 3d?

[MaddHatter905]

@Archedgar for me running happens when i hold dow the squre button try holding the dif buttons

[YouEatTurds]

memories!

[gunnarskullhead]

u need to do King Field 2!!!! No body has done it

[SavetheKing1]

Lol, I remember playing this game when I was young and I didnt know to equip armor or use spells...I actually made it a respectable distance considering I didnt equip anything

[psychogundamjavelin]

i can i play it to my pc... p4 only!

[eighthcircuit724]

Great game. Gotta find this.

[TheDevilbuster]

You're actually searching for the Moonlight Sword that was stolen from the King.

I have the manual, so I know all about it. :D

[Onimyst]

This is actually King's Field 2 in Japan :P

Sorry if you actually mention that in the video lol.

[Noah837]

you know you can get that dragon crystal thats near the giant kraken right away in the beginning by running up to it and backing up really fast and it will miss you and then run up to it again really fast and take the crystal without getting hit...you have to be REALLY fast though...
