    Welcome back, Glenn! I couldn't be happier to see your reviews resurfacing after your absence. Let me tell you, the past few days have truly felt like the biggest gift for any gaming fan. Your return is like a breath of fresh air, bringing back that excitement and passion we've all missed. Your unique perspective and genuine love for gaming have always resonated with me, and I'm grateful to have you back in the community. Your reviews have a way of connecting with us on a deeper level, and I can't wait to dive into your future content. Thank you for coming back, Glenn, and reminding us why we fell in love with gaming in the first place.

  • @drgribb
    @drgribb Před 7 měsíci +4

    Thanks for covering this, Glenn. I have it on the Genesis. Been thinking for a while about double-dipping and getting the 64 version, because exactly as you said, new n64 carts don't exactly appear every day, but the price has been a little hard for me at the moment, especially for something I already own on another system. I think my hope for the game is that the music would at least be upgraded in some way to sound like an n64 soundtrack, instead of perhaps just recorded versions of the Genesis soundtrack.
    Interesting that you mention issues with the controller. I was imagining that the analog stick would actually help a lot! Potentially a d-pad + analog stick control scheme would feel most natural in my mind.
    Also really appreciate you mentioning the lack of 4-player compatibility. That's a real bummer. Yes, there'd be a lot going on on the screen, and it might disrupt the difficulty balancing of the game from what the developers intended, but man, this game would *kill* with some friends and a retro game night and a 4-player mode. Serious missed opportunity there.
    Thanks for the great review!

    • @n64glennplant

    @danmakuman Před 7 měsíci +2

    Glad to see a new video from you and for this great game.
    I think making it 4 players will kinda break the flow of the game they originally intended. After all the main platform for the game it's the Megadrive with its pros and cons. Let's accept it, this is a port of the MD version, no more and no less (Ok, some extra info on screen, voice quality but you get it), mostly to make it available to all people who wanted to play the game but doesn't have a MD console. That's the real reason this exists and I understand that you wanted more specific stuff related to the console it was ported on but in the end it wasn't the plan and it shows. Xeno Crisis still is a fantastic game no matter where you play it and I'm so glad it's available in almost every major console for all people to enjoy.
    Now, if they one day make an N64 game as the main system of development then I'm sure they'll use the specific features of the console.

    Great to see you back loved this on the Mega Drive this is a solid enhanced version of the game with less slowdown thanks to the extra horsepower plus better quality sound thanks to the increase cart size to 8MB. Four players would have likely caused slowdown as the N64 isn't built for 2D games.

    • @n64glennplant
      @n64glennplant  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Hmm I’d be very dubious if that was an official reason given for not being 4 players. I’d honestly believe it’s more likely the extra development cost vs potential returns wouldn’t justify the cost in doing so. Nothing against the studio as at the end of the day I’d rather they stay in business right 😁

    I think you make a lot of valid points in this video. Not just about the N64 version, but of the game in general and Bitmap Bureau (BB) as a developer. Xeno Crisis has some great design, gameplay, top notch artwork and the music by Savaged Regime is out of this world amazing. Therefore it's a real shame that there are technical shortcomings and usability issues like the controls. This goes for Mega Drive, Neo Geo, the Steam release and what have you and also N64 I see. BB seem to just get the port/version done so it's good enough and then leave it no matter what feedback they get. Their games are mostly really good and they deserve at better fate and a bigger audience.

    @Nintendude. Před 5 měsíci

    I just discovered that this was on N64, when I started browsing what it was and saw it had a Switch version I started having a inkling that I seen this game before and yeah turn out this game is already on my wish list on the Switch, I just don't remember when I added it there.
    Times are a bit tight for me but I would love to get the N64 physical version as well as 40 Winks since I wish to play that game first.
    - Yes as soon as I saw this game I believe that it should be a 4 player game. (STILL not a deal breaker [since I have no one to play with me] but still a bummer)
    - What really is a shame for me to hear is that the main way to shoot in the game is with the C-Buttons... is it possible to change shooting and aiming to the Z button and joystick respectively?
    If not, I might buy the Switch version as well just to have a smoother way to play the game that won't kill my hands. (Yes, yes, yes modern gaming has pampered me and yes these old hands of mine can't take a challenge like they use to)
    As for the lack of Twin N64 Controller Style for this game, I say I was never any goo-- * ahem * a... big fan of that play style but always appreciated and respected for having the option there.
    After all that playstyle in Goldeneye made me feel like I was The-Bomb (or The-Bond and this case) and in Star Wars Racer made me feel like I was driving a real podracer.
    Even though this playstyle was not really my thing I agree that it should have been in this game.
    Finally happy to see you did a review of this game, thank you as always for giving info and reminders of the games of my favorite system.

    I have the Mega Drive version and enjoyed it for the most part but really as you say just to enjoy it casually you have to cheat which isn't great even on easy. I was never tempted to get the game on the N64 when they did announce it as it offers literally nothing to take advantage of the hardware and even indie games I feel should be trying to add something that makes use of the hardware it's on rather than just a direct port like this. Sadly people who support certain indie games will buy every version out of some weird tribal loyalty to it and that's all well and good but in the end they are simply selling each port to the same small group of people. I would have at least liked better effects on some things when they explode or anything not possible on 16-bit hardware to make it a least a little unique.

    • @n64glennplant

    It is frankly baffling that they did not include a dpad+analog twinstick mode for this game. Pretty much takes all the air out of the N64 release.
    The lack of 4-player mode was not too surprising, given that the Dreamcast port didn't have it either. But why even bother porting this to N64 if you're going to ignore twinsticks?
