PC Engine Longplay [039] Valis: Legends of the Fantasm Soldier

[PoIaris]

That is some serious slow running XD

[avenuePad]

This is my favourite of the series, by far. That says a lot since the Valis series R.O.C.K.S. as a whole. :)

I hate Hydras-they always get on my nerves.

[Spynmaster]

Ok seriously - we need some subbing for the japanese.

[Mysteryblocks]

I CAN'T READ OR UNDERSTAND JAPANESE!! But this seems to be better than the Mega Drive version, although it was a little bloody. I just hope the user didn't miss or skip anything...

[koolkdd]

longest ingame cutscenes ever

[megaten666]

That's what I hate in PCE. In my opinion, there are two types of game for PCE, horribly bad games and incredible awesome games. Yes, Valis and Ys games came to my mind when I talk about awesome games.

[Evilmonkey66699]

@megaten666 You do know that whole two types of games really good and horribly bad thing applies to any system not just PC engine right?

[megaten666]

@Evilmonkey66699

Yes I do. But sometimes on a given platform I find something appealing in a bad game. PCE just tends to be has either super mega ultra f*cking awesome titles or rather simplistic and boring ones. But that's just me. PC-Engine was a great console, it was ahead of it's time and I like that. Sometimes I just wish there are more games like Valis (or Ninja Ryuukenden for that matter)... simple but keeps you going on with great animated cutscenes.

Ace Of Spades @14:35 ?

I really like this version of the game.

There are 2 Valis mobile/cellphone games,which are kinda straight up Valis platformers. I wish I could find somewhere to get them.

[malducci]

Oh, nice to see a long play of this :D Thanks for this upload :) A side note: Wouldn't this be considered a port of the original and not the MD version? I mean, they didn't use the same art assets of the MD one AFIAK. If anything, this is a version of the original in the way the MD version is.

[ValisHD]

@malducci more like the MD version because of the cutscenes and junk

[fruitbane]

@ValisHD Sometimes I think anime-looking PCE CD games are required to have cut-scenes simply because the games are on a CD, whether it needs them or not.

[fruitbane]

Valis actually originated on the PC88 computer. The console versions were ports. Valis 2 on PCE CD was probably the first console Valis port. The original Valis was just about the last Valis game to get ported (and upgraded) to console.

[ValisHD]

@fruitbane it originaled on the msx back in 86 before the pc88 i think

[fruitbane]

@ValisHD According to an article I found at Sega16.com you appear to be correct. I found one site that listed the release date for the PC88 version as the same year as the MSX version, but I'm not sure which is correct. There seems to be mixed information floating around. Either way, this title is clearly not a port of the MD version but rather more of a parallel, enhanced remake.

[ValisHD]

@fruitbane i think thats what i was trying to say.

[sbcmarine81]

@ValisHD

I got to hand it you ValisHD, YOU are the man at this game!!!

[ValisHD]

@sbcmarine81 BISON: OF COURSE!

[sbcmarine81]

@ValisHD

More like a GOD of this game!

[xValis77x]

@sbcmarine81 yep i know

[Borin81]

i see tit bobbing was already implement back then.

[Metafron]

I like the way armor never covers a woman's entire body.

[ValisHD]

@Metafron talk about fanservice

[psyjax]

pedobear in the beginning.

[ValisHD]

@psyjax riot?

[psyjax2]

@ValisHD I thought the bear on Valasis book-shelf looked pedobear-ish ehhe.

[ValisHD]

@psyjax2 nope

[StressTheSky]

When I saw this in my subscriptions I was wondering who could be playing this game...hm.

[schdephy]

Nice game and very good playing, Valis!

[ValisHD]

@schdephy thanks

[bigphilmckracken]

about time there was a video where Valis77 kept his mouth shout (and stopped professing love for video game characters or trying to be "funny") and played a game. Great playthrough Valis.

[ValisHD]

@bigphilmckracken i know right?

[ryanc519]

this must be your favorite game on the pc engine

[ValisHD]

@ryanc519 Valis in general is my fav

[ValisHD]

Thanks!

[dioseolo]
