PSX Longplay [250] Quake II

Played by: Mad-Matt Interesting port of the game. PlayStation didn’t get Quake as it was thought impossible but somehow Hammerhead managed to bring Quake II to the playstation which is no small feat considering how limited the psx hardware is compared with premium pc hardware at the time. As per usual with playstation games it uses mixed resolutions and the game part uses a native resolution of 256x240 so you may want to set your video play to a 16:9 to aspect correct this part (or download the aspect corrected version). The 50 fps (PAL) Version is being played here as its the version I own which may explain why the video length is a bit longer than other existing videos on ytube. Sure lots of cuts had to made, but how they have been done sort of makes the playstation version unique (maybe n64 too) in it’s own right with a slightly different plot and level layout compared with the pc original. This game is about half the length but still plenty long enough with only 19 levels spread over 5 missions compared with the pcs 39 levels. The levels should look familiar to players of the pc version but routes and rooms orders have changed. There are some nice lens flares from the lights when up close. I have played on Hard mode and show all secret areas. This was also one of the few games that also supported Mouse support for looking/aiming and combines with the joypad for movement made for a very nice control system. Unfortunately for me, using a pad only to record this the controls are not so nice. Halo didn’t exist yet for standardising fps controls so I am constantly fighting the controls to be able to do what I want. I do think I have improved by half way into the longplay once I got a hang of it. I would have been better to let me configure the pad buttons How I wanted then it would have made the game more enjoyable. 00:00:00 - Mission 1: Strogg outpost, Outer Base, Installation, Comm centre, Installation 2. 00:20:30 - Mission 2: Detention Area, Security complex, Guard House, Torture Chambers, Grid Control. 00:54:33 - Mission 3: Powerplant, The Reactor, Toxic Waste Dump, Pumping Station, Waste Disposal. 01:29:25 - Mission 4: Defence Command, research Lab, Gravity Booster. 01:54:30 - Mission 5: Inner Chamber, Final Showdown. - Disclaimer: Most videos by World of Longplays use SaveStates!
