Always wondered if they ever distributed any promo posters for it. I've seen some for the PS1 edition but never that one. Really cool piece of art.

Remainder that Jap insects shamelessly ripped off the superior American movie Phenomena when making this game.

>>5273331
It's an Italian movie.

>>5273331
A huge amount of beloved Japanese IPs are fanfictions of American movies and TV. I don't even care, as long as the games are good.

>>5273331
Get a load of this angry mutt

>>5273338
Italy might as well be an American colony anyway.

>>5273331
All the influences from Argento movies is what drew me to it in the first place. It's really what's missing from the PS1 game imo

>>5273331

Anon, I'd wager that at least half of, if not more, of our classic games have inspiration from other art forms.

Street Fighter has various martial arts/manga influences. Resident Evil is based on a bunch of horror B movies. The old Castlevania games presented themselves as pre-code horror movies.

>there will never be another clocktower game
Fixed that for you. I remember like 7-8 years ago there was a dude working on a total remake of the game on PC, and then he just vanished one day.

>>5274198
X-Com was inspired by Alien franchise.

>>5273271
Very creepy game, I love it - the 16 graphics really add to it.

>>5273271
The 3D sequels all SUCKED. I doubt another Clock Tower would be worth playing. I just see the original as a happy accident that we're all lucky to have even gotten at all because it's a fucking masterpiece.

>>5273331
Jennifer Connelly also 'inspired' Tifa Lockheart.

>insects
calm down, madam

Actually, there was a recent one made. Not 2d, but the guy from the ps1 version had a part in it. It was called nighcry. I have it on my hard drive, but never installed it yet.

>>5273347
blade runner inspired this one I assume

>>5273331
It was for a just cause though.

>>5274409
Haunting Ground was kino.

>>5274409
The 2nd one is good because of the plot.
I'm surprised no one did a game based on Suspiria.

Not 16 bit at all, but there's a recent game called Remothered: Tormented Fathers, it was made by a Clock Tower superfan and I think at one point was going to be a Clock Tower game? At some points in the game you get chased around by a crazy man with scissors.

>>5274530
And Terminator
And Akira

>>5274409

Same game. Was originally going to be a total remake of Clock Tower before it morphed into it's own thing.

>>5274409
I haven't played anything after the first 3D game, but it drives me nuts how slow the dialogue scrolls in that game when you're intended to be replaying it a number of times. Abandoning the Phenomena/Suspiria influence and making the game so plot-heavy was a mistake too. There's a greater sense of mystery inspired by the first time you walk into this room than there is from anything that occurs in the PS1 game.

>>5274530
That one I remember. Is from the guy that did Metal gear.

Cant remember the name tho. Too lazy to search eather. But was something like Invasion of the body snatchers or something.

SNATCHER.
There's also Policenauts, which is inspired by Lethal Weapon.

There will never be anyone like prime Jennifer Connolly. I know she’s like a teenager there but I don’t even necessarily mean it in a sexual way. She was just gorgeous from any perspective.

She’s still pretty now, but fuck.

>>5273331
I watched Phenomena after reading the Clock Tower wikia page a few years ago.

>>5275529
something's wrong with your image. Not entirely sure

>>5273331
Superior to what? Games and movies aren't really comparable, you're an attention whore who just wanted to throw that trivia in there. Find healthier ways to interact with people.

>>5274517
She did plenty of ads in Japan, which is why she was so popular over there.

>>5277709
If you liked it, there's some milder influences on CT from Suspiria, Inferno, and Deep Red by the same director.
