Everything I've seen about that game gave me strong Michigan: Report From Hell vibes.

I dont understand how illbleed works. Its just werid.

>>7886994
It's minesweeper

>>7886617
The Ring: Realm of Terror

>>7887483

Infogrames also released a port of Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare for the Dreamcast. It's a really good home port, based on the PC version.

"cool"

One day I shall complete D2 for the Dreamcast. I swear I stopped at the half way point.

>>7887554
just watch the supergreatfriend lets play

Martian Gothic Unification

>>7887524
>>7887474

It's so strange that the first level is arguable the worst/hardest level.

>>7887554
Keep at it anon, it's actually fairly short!

This one is my absolute favorite. From the samey-looking labyrinths to the NPC's and creatures, it's got a very SMT-like vibe. You can tell it was made by Atlus just by playing it, and it's a miracle it got released outside of Japan (just Europe, though)
Even if it's a relatively known game for survival horror enthusiasts and collectors, pretty much everything about it is a mystery. The director isn't even credited at the end for some fucking reason, and only two other titles from the team exist, one of which is an RPG that reuses some of the sound effects and music from Hellnight. It probably sold poorly in Japan too.

>>7887598
>Keep at it anon, it's actually fairly short!

I will get back to it. D2 is a weird game. It does have a hunting-survival element.

>>7887641
A very broken element, indeed. I mean you virtually can't die since you can cook and eat your meat during fights.

>>7887647
>A very broken element, indeed.

Interesting idea, though. Dreamcast had quite a few quirky 'survival horror' games released for it. The system was only on the market for a short period of time.

Find the Horror Monitor in each stage before doing anything else. The game is damn near unbeatable without it, unless you have a guide or are able to memorize where the jumpscare attacks are.

I had no idea what I was doing when I first played this game. I think I found the horror monitor by accident, and I still didn't really know what I was doing. It is kind of like minesweeper (and someone else just said), but you disable 'jump scares' before they happen.

>>7887709
You DID find the horror monitor in the hub with the god-tier music, right?

PAL got a PS2 release that runs well with OPL

>>7887497
>based on the PC version
Just in terms of visuals right? Because I played the GOG version and while it looked great, the music felt kind of fucked compared to the PS1 version emulated. I don't know if it was always meant to sound like that due to a poor conversion or compatibility reasons or what.

>>7887928
>Just in terms of visuals right?

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Has anyone ever played this port? Is it comparable to the Windows PC version?

>>7887928

It's hard to say with the PC version without looking it up. Maybe it is a compatibility issue? The Dreamcast version is pretty comparable to the PC game, but runs at 480i/(p with VGA) and probably has lower resolution BG's

>>7887675
the funniest thing is after you learn that in the first level, the second level just immediately throws that out of the window when a monke steals your horror monitor and you don't use it at all the entire level. god i love illbleed

>>7887575
I played this game on the PS1, and a bug stopped my playthrough cold. It was some area where I had to open a grate in a ventilation shaft and then crawl through the shaft while an enemy was chasing me. I would get through the shaft and the gate would close, but the enemy would clip through the gate and kill me every single time. Pretty retarded.

It was a shame, because I really liked the premise of three people trying to figure out what was going on while not being able to be in the same room as one another.

Deep Fear on Saturn is pretty good

>>7888357
lmao git gud

>>7886617
I played this game with a bunch of friends and it was so bad we were all laughing hilariously. Thanks for bringing back that memory, that was a long time ago now.

Corpse Party

Is Illbleed the game with aliens and like a tree monster?

>>7889412
it has those, yeah

Runescape.

>>7887474
Huh. i guess it is.
>>7887575
Bullshit game.

There's a PC game from around the same time called The Devil Inside that has a similar vibe.

>>7886617
>overlooked
It's literally *the* OMG I'm so retro and quirky hipster game for the DC.

Who was Killerman?

>>7889570
I didn't think I would see this mentionned. It's an interesting game indeed.

>>7889657
You were killerman

>>7889641
Illbleed is cool, don't be a faggot

>>7889641
what's quirky about it?

I'm trying Silent Hill 4 now and man it feels like a step back from the previous 3 in almost every way. I get they had to change the formula in some way after 3 but it's too bad it didn't turn out that well

>>7889858
>I'm trying Silent Hill 4 now and man it feels like a step back from the previous 3 in almost every way
That's because it is, wait until you realize that half the game is an escort mission

>>7889412
It doesn't have aliens. You may be confusing it with panic museum.

>>7889641
God, shut the fuck up. It's not even close to being mainstream you're just a hipster.

>>7890156
Anon just conflated popularity in niche circles with popularity at large. These days any survival horror beyond Resident Evil is outside the mainstream.

>>7890152
The final boss is an alien man

>>7890152
michael reynolds is an alien

>>7889641
>OMG so retro quirky hipster
except that wasn't a thing back then. this was the real deal.

>>7886617
>overlooked
I mean I've heard people say this game was absolute shit, but that you need to play it at least once. So I wouldn't call it overlooked.

>>7891658

The character models for this game are stuck in-between the N64 and gen 6. They don't quite match up to something like Code Veronica. But I still like the look of the game.

>>7891658
how is it shit?

>>7891843
A game can be shit and kino at the same time.

>>7890152
>>7891240
>>7891537
He father is an alien and she’s human. The game is so fucking bizarre. They don’t need to explain anything.

>>7887627
I looked up their other game DeSPIRIA, and it does have similar systems to Hellnight. To anyone who can read Japanese, it sounds like a cool premise

>>7889768
You know what's even cooler? Reading comprehension. You being a faggot who likes cock doesn't make cocks bad.

>>7889771
Nothing particularly quirky about, other than it seems to attract a fan base that can't into reading comprehension. Sticking with the cock analogy, cocks don't become gay because fagots suck cocks.

>>7890156
Again with the complete failure to reading comprehension. Overlooked and not even close to being mainstream aren't the same thing.

>>7891631
Whether true or not it's irreverent. Games don't overlook things, people do. The fact that a post claiming the game isn't overlooked received the most replies of any ITT, by people who claim to have no overlooked the game, is epic fucking irony.

>>7892980
Honestly, who cares anon. No one is going to waste time arguing with you about something so inconsequential.

>>7892980
>trolling outside of /b/

>>7887508
Love this game

>>7893170
>No one is going to waste time arguing with you about something so inconsequential
Wow, what a silly post.

>>7893543

>>7886617
I dont know if its really survival horror in the classic sense of the term but overblood is pretty fun.

>>7887949
it's literally the PC version, but worse. Only difference is you get this extra costume instead of another one but if you want I can give that to you.

>>7893582
Of course it is, Overblood is basically what RE would have been if it had sticked to AITD a little more

People always call Overblood a "RE clone" but despite both games having a lot in common they were both developped at the same time.

>>7893586

>it's literally the PC version, but worse. Only difference is you get this extra costume instead of another one but if you want I can give that to you.

I wasn't sure if the Dreamcast port uses the 480p backdrops or not. Both RE2 and RE3 use Windows CE layer. Which means that they are the PC ports. I do have Code Veronica for the Dreamcast, but I never bothered looking for RE 2 and 3 ports. They can't even be played on ReDream because of Windows CE. The Dreamcast was only on the market between 1998 and 2001 and it did get a steady stream of quirky survival horror games. System Shock 2 was planned for the Dreamcast.

>>7893823
>I wasn't sure if the Dreamcast port uses the 480p backdrops or not.

Both RE2 and RE3 on DC use the same backgrounds as the PC versions but the colours are fucked, and on top of this in RE3 the backgrounds are slightly compressed so the quality is worse

RE3 on GameCube also uses the PC version backgrounds but with some changes/fixes

Finished Silent Hill 4 and got the worst ending. It's cool you can save Eileen the first time through without advance knowledge but she probably has to be pretty beaten up for you to have a chance. The ending being the best part of the game was also a nice surprise. In general it's not a bad game, it just looks weak compared to the three that came before it. I at least appreciate they tried something different.

Lifeline

>>7887497
Dreamcast and PS2 version have ridiculous lag/loading time inbetween camera angles. Its annoying as shit.

GOG version is the best.

>>7886617
Illbleed is a weird one. I've really enjoyed watching a playthgrough, but the gameplay almost seems like a chore. It has many good ideas and genuinely made me laugh though.

Soul

>>7887575
Trash.

>>7897546
Git gud

Has anyone made a good survival horror chart? If not someone should.

May as well include the last survival horror game on the DC. True indie-dev horror KINO.

>>7887508


Blue Stinger could almost be a great game if it didn't have such clunky controls. It's the type of game that I would like to see be modified with better controls. I kinda liked Carrier more because it stayed with the RE2 gameplay style. Dreamcast has a weird collection of Japanese-indy survival horror games. Kenji Eno's D2 is interesting and flawed. Blue Stingers controls can bring down the game. But it has its charm. IllBleed is strange in general. Carrier is like a bad straight to video movie, which makes it great. Code Veronica is the most polished of the DC original Survival horror games.

>>7886617
Illbleed is definitely up there. My buddies and I have a yearly tradition where we get together on Halloween just to play it and have a laugh.

>>7887575
one of my favorite survival horror games. just as campy as resident evil, but adds a lot to the item management aesthetics. too bad it was butchered before release. could have been a resident evil killer.

>>7899016
you have anymore info on the changes pre-release.

Koudelka
Countdown Vampires
Deep Fear
Alone in the Dark is the grandfather of the genre but not many have actually played it, AITD4 is also a good RE era revival
Galerians

>>7898863
game was rancid trash and you were desperate for something new.

>>7892980
>can't stop talking about cocks
yep, still being a faggot
