Good to see more footage of this fairly obscure shooter. Hell youtube and google even autocorrect its searches into 'Vampire Knight' unless you use quotes. I liked the home-exclusive Special mode for its replayability with the Silver currency, item shop, and equipables you could swap out.
The way past meetings and conflicts are obliquely mentioned throughout the game makes me realize that this is merely the climax of a much longer story; I wouldn't mind knowing the rest of this tale, especially given the numerous references to other great vampire media present (the stage 1 quote mimics the "But Transient Visitors Are We" routine from Vampire Hunter D, the stage 5 boss is a clear nod to Rahab from Soul Reaver, the last boss is a clear Castlevania shout-out, etc.)
Yes!!! This was one of my favorite light gun games! there's one game which you can't beat without dieing at least once, which is Midways Carnevil still, keep up the good work bud! :)
Wow, excellent game play. I used to play this game all the time when I was younger, it was the first PS2 game I got with the Guncon 2. I've probably got 1000s of hours on that single game alone and I can remember every detail of the game. I never really played the vanilla arcade mode though, only the special mode and training which was what made this game pretty great. Awesome score though, I could not have the trigger discipline nor the patience to try and attempt a good score on the game; I'd probably stuff up on every villager sarcoma shot. Also the Aussie accent on the woman who ploughs into the knights armour on chapter 4 XD
Hey Smraedis, Phenomenal clearance run as per usual! Especially had me on edge at the end. I was hoping you would be able to answer some questions I have about your experiences doing 1CCs and what's to come in the future: - Do you feel a significant amount of fatigue when doing 1CCs? (I ask because having done a number of 1CCs myself in London; I have found machines whose games last 20+ minutes such as HOTD 3/4 require a significant amount of stamina which can take you by surprise on your initial attempts) - Do you prefer the cover based Arcade games such as the Time Crisis series; or the non-cover games such as HOTD and Vampire Night? - What games do you have in the pipeline? I would personally love to see HOTD 4 Special Edition! - Have you had the chance to check out Time Crisis 5 in the Arcades at all? If so, what are your thoughts? - Have you ever considered doing run throughs of the "Crisis Missions" in Time Crisis 2 onwards? Keep up the great work! Paul :)
Thanks, most of my runs on this game go like this :D I feel that some games tire you out more than others, but I'm usually fine with doing repeat clears for hours on end I prefer the Time Crisis cover system, but I don't mind games not having it With what's next, I'm trying different games, including Project Titan, can do HOTD4 Special at some point Yeah I've played TC5, and I find it less enjoyable than the rest of the series, but at least it's a new light-gun game I haven't bothered with the TC2 Crisis Missions, no
Actually, there are. It’s just that you’re not at the right place. I’ve been to a mall in VN that has THOTD 4 before. And the guns works...unlike the few that I’ve seen but it works. Check it out if u get the chance.
From what I can find, this game was made by Sega's WOW Entertainment branch, who did do the ports of HOTD 2 and 3 on the PC, although HOTD was made by Sega Amusements (I forget which AM branch)
Did Vampire Night support 4-pin Firewire (i-Link) twin console linking via the "s400" jack - next to the USB jacks on older phat PS2 consoles? I'm reading conflicting information online and can't find a CZcams example like I can for Time Crisis 2 & 3 PS2 system link.
I guess this game was underrated, but still fun game. Unlike The House Of The Dead, this game is about Vampire Hunters who hunting down the vampires who sent from 300 years ago.
Great job! That must be pretty tough to get that 1CC but its worth it! I can bet that the difficulty would be like Cave's Ketsui's Second Ura Loop or Omote overall... (from a view point)
Do bosses have invincibility frames after being hit during an attack you need to cancel? I seem to remember despising the adaptive difficulty because of that.
Wait a minute The Brother of the girl also died? The ending there is three gravestone, one is for the black jacket vampire hunter and two is for white jacket vampire hunter. And three? Is for Dracula or the little girl vampire brother?
I think the AC record is 120k+ by HIM, and M.T got 120k on PS2 as well. It's difficult to improve the score, but I would believe the main determinant is on accuracy. You can check out LEO's videos on how to do it, especially for S3. He got 93% for it in that particular video.
Smraedis Arcade Superplays I didn't mention it explicitly, the main idea is to keep shooting the enemy's strong spots first to rack up the 10 points and accuracy buffer, followed by a weakpoint finishing blow.
To add on, if you have 100% accuracy for S1, you can get up to 13800, vs 10800 at 91%. It is possible to get 100% for S2 as well, but it is a lot more difficult than S1. So there's about 3k + 3k difference in accuracy alone.
Ok I'm playing the game and in training mode there is this one mode where you shoot life ups and it's so hard do you have any advice for hitting the life ups
He probably won't. Target Terror is bad game design right off the bat for... -There is no way to determine when you get hit or not... -and it doesn't help the enemies have ridiculous accuracy -As well as the hostages? just stand around and do nothing. No reward and they are nearly everywhere -No bosses. -Wii port is hilariously bad (port from pc hardware to the wii?) And the voice acting. I'm guessing whoever voice acted didn't even want to try because of how bad the game is. P.S. I don't know if anyone has saw a real Vampire Night arcade machine before.
There are a few ways, WinGun for Guncon 2, or use a AimTrak or WiiMote with a dolphin bar as a substitute if not using a CRT TV. However this video is done with a real PS2, no emulation involved
Who here thinks JonTron should play this? I'd love to see how he'd react to all this. Edit note: I posted this _before_ I knew about the whole Sargon stuff.
Glad to see whoever work house of the dead's voice acting still has that old school ham still there.
"This sword will mark your graves!"
*Has 2 swords*
Yes because one of them would be used to mark the grave? it makes total sense m8. Instead of a tombstone it would be his sword before your body.
The voice acting tho. Especially from that weird scientist vampire and the rest of the vampire boss brigade.
All things considered the scientist was the best of the bunch. The worst one though directly followed him XD. "You humans discuss me" XDDDDD.
Ah "House of the Castlevania"
The cancel meter from HotD3 and 4 was actually first used in this game-fun fact.
Good to see more footage of this fairly obscure shooter. Hell youtube and google even autocorrect its searches into 'Vampire Knight' unless you use quotes. I liked the home-exclusive Special mode for its replayability with the Silver currency, item shop, and equipables you could swap out.
Finally get to see a guy that knows good accuracy
The way past meetings and conflicts are obliquely mentioned throughout the game makes me realize that this is merely the climax of a much longer story; I wouldn't mind knowing the rest of this tale, especially given the numerous references to other great vampire media present (the stage 1 quote mimics the "But Transient Visitors Are We" routine from Vampire Hunter D, the stage 5 boss is a clear nod to Rahab from Soul Reaver, the last boss is a clear Castlevania shout-out, etc.)
In an alternate universe where the Belmont clan work for the Transylvania branch of the AMS.
There must have been so many translation issues when making this game. It sounds like the whole thing was written in google translate
The game was made by Japanese. No any doubt
Figured as much
I loved playing this rail shooter at the movie theater with my brothers.
I remember I played and beat this game over and over in the Arcade, ever since they moved The House of the Dead 2 & 3, evenutally 4.
Watching your videos makes me wish for a resurgence in light-gun shooters.
Just noticed that the "Reload" voice is the same one from House of the Dead 3.
Yes!!!
This was one of my favorite light gun games!
there's one game which you can't beat without dieing at least once, which is Midways Carnevil
still, keep up the good work bud! :)
I haven't really played Carnevil, I'm aware it's just meant to eat credits too

right after my 20th birthday anniversary thanks man
you're really good of playing this game, master gunsman
Did Sega make this? It's giving me HotD 2/3 vibes
When the loading screen music was scarier than the game itself..
If Markiplier is the King of Five Nights at Freddy's, then you might as well be considered the king of light-gun on-rail shooters
If you think so, then I'm happy to hear it :D
Never heard of this game, gotta play it. Has that good HOTD voice acting
Wow best VN playthrough i've seen! Never saw the rooftop route before.
This game is so underrated, it was part of my childhood
Hey Smraedis,
Phenomenal clearance run as per usual! Especially had me on edge at the end.

Keep up the great work!
Paul :)
Thanks, most of my runs on this game go like this :D
I feel that some games tire you out more than others, but I'm usually fine with doing repeat clears for hours on end
I prefer the Time Crisis cover system, but I don't mind games not having it
With what's next, I'm trying different games, including Project Titan, can do HOTD4 Special at some point
Yeah I've played TC5, and I find it less enjoyable than the rest of the series, but at least it's a new light-gun game
I haven't bothered with the TC2 Crisis Missions, no
Behold, the creatures of the dark.
Vampire Hunters!
I like the style of the castle but god that voice acting XD
Rauoul's voice tho sounds like a main antagonist in an anime movie.
The way one of the two heroes claims he kept a human "warmth" at the end of the game... is just the coldest possible.
村人全員13人救えたバンパイアハンター・ミシェル、アルベールはすごい。
Thanks for playing this since I don't have these kind of games in my country, especially THOTD 4 :(
Billy Phạm 3rd world piece of shit
Actually, there are. It’s just that you’re not at the right place. I’ve been to a mall in VN that has THOTD 4 before. And the guns works...unlike the few that I’ve seen but it works. Check it out if u get the chance.
There are a lot of malls in HCMC that have these types of games, maybe you just went to the wrong places mate.
Wow, nice score ! o.o
I know you can have items by breaking boxes, statues... but what are theirs effects ? Like the flying skull at 13:22
Thanks, it awards a point bonus of (I think) 800 points
That's what I'm talking about.
Wow... Congrats!
THIS GAL HAIR COLOUR WAS BRUNETTE. I LOVE IT!💜🌷
The first boss be like: "Getsuga Tensho!"
Xiahou Dun from dynasty warriors
I played vampire night and ninja assault in ps2
I love arcade games
AWESOME RUN !
10/10 i just wanna be like you one day. Great video btw.
Is this game connected to the HOTD devs in any way or did the creators of VN steal the sound effects from HOTD?
From what I can find, this game was made by Sega's WOW Entertainment branch, who did do the ports of HOTD 2 and 3 on the PC, although HOTD was made by Sega Amusements (I forget which AM branch)
Yeah it is made by the same staff
How many survivors did you saved?
Thank you for playing this on the actual console, on emulation it has attack delays and its easier.
Takes me back.
broo this game brings my memory me with my dad play this game on ps2
20:23 AUGH!!! XD
Did Vampire Night support 4-pin Firewire (i-Link) twin console linking via the "s400" jack - next to the USB jacks on older phat PS2 consoles? I'm reading conflicting information online and can't find a CZcams example like I can for Time Crisis 2 & 3 PS2 system link.
There's no system link for Vampire Night, it supports just two players shooting at the same screen.
I guess this game was underrated, but still fun game. Unlike The House Of The Dead, this game is about Vampire Hunters who hunting down the vampires who sent from 300 years ago.
One tap master
Why can’t they just play dance of illusions for the final battle?
Great job! That must be pretty tough to get that 1CC but its worth it! I can bet that the difficulty would be like Cave's Ketsui's Second Ura Loop or Omote overall... (from a view point)
I guess you compare it that way, I've played Ketsui way more than this though!
Do bosses have invincibility frames after being hit during an attack you need to cancel? I seem to remember despising the adaptive difficulty because of that.
That was my kind of PS2 video game.
月の淡い色素敵です✨😊😊影に潰されモス🎉
Yo this game 🎮 should be on the Nintendo switch yo this is one of my favorite arcade game
Chapter6 月夜交響曲(vampire night)
オーギュスト率いる🧛♂️🧛ヴァンパイア軍団を倒すのはすごいね。水道橋・後楽園、横浜みなとみらい・コスモワールドでクリアしたぜ。秋葉原のゲーセン🎮️🏠️に復活して欲しいぜ。
this like the house of the dead
Just imagine if they cloned this game and reworked it as a House of the Dead game. I would not mind a HOTD game taking place within this setting.
Wait a minute The Brother of the girl also died? The ending there is three gravestone, one is for the black jacket vampire hunter and two is for white jacket vampire hunter. And three? Is for Dracula or the little girl vampire brother?
Michel is Black Trench Coat while Albert is White Blazer/Shirt
Hyeewwwmans!

It's difficult to improve the score, but I would believe the main determinant is on accuracy. You can check out LEO's videos on how to do it, especially for S3. He got 93% for it in that particular video.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll add that to the description
Oh yeah, getting every weakpoint as possible is best, I'm happy enough with 100k
Smraedis Arcade Superplays
I didn't mention it explicitly, the main idea is to keep shooting the enemy's strong spots first to rack up the 10 points and accuracy buffer, followed by a weakpoint finishing blow.
To add on, if you have 100% accuracy for S1, you can get up to 13800, vs 10800 at 91%.
It is possible to get 100% for S2 as well, but it is a lot more difficult than S1.
So there's about 3k + 3k difference in accuracy alone.
Can you record Vampire Night 2 players, 1 credit clear and save all hostages?
Wait...I think the reload voice is same as the house of the dead 3.
Played this on N64? With a gun? Am I right?
great gameplay! does anybody know why this game wasnt published by sega themselves?
Ok I'm playing the game and in training mode there is this one mode where you shoot life ups and it's so hard do you have any advice for hitting the life ups
Git gud
Ok what about punctuation maybe you should try commas fullstops what you say bro and what about interogation marks at the end of questions
18:11-18:15 me and my baby sister in a nutshell
Moonlight symphony?more like moonlight sonata?
So Life UPs are Extends?
Have you thought about doing more obscure rail shooters like Target Terror and whatnot?
He probably won't. Target Terror is bad game design right off the bat for...
-There is no way to determine when you get hit or not...
-and it doesn't help the enemies have ridiculous accuracy
-As well as the hostages? just stand around and do nothing. No reward and they are nearly everywhere
-No bosses.
-Wii port is hilariously bad (port from pc hardware to the wii?)
And the voice acting. I'm guessing whoever voice acted didn't even want to try because of how bad the game is.
P.S. I don't know if anyone has saw a real Vampire Night arcade machine before.
Did you play it on PCSX2?
This is done using an actual console and a CRT screen
Smraedis Arcade Superplays Oh,I see.Thank you for your reply.
What is a man?
What Is The Difference Between Arcade Mode & Special Mode?
J.Boorman
Hmm, Like HOTD 2 In PC Version?
J.Boorman
Intersting... I Will Try Some Time.
How do you use a guncon with pcsx2?
There are a few ways, WinGun for Guncon 2, or use a AimTrak or WiiMote with a dolphin bar as a substitute if not using a CRT TV. However this video is done with a real PS2, no emulation involved
18:56 what do you know what I have lost the pain I have suffered
Who here thinks JonTron should play this? I'd love to see how he'd react to all this.
Edit note: I posted this _before_ I knew about the whole Sargon stuff.
Perkilator Gaming no
Perkilator XIII fuck jontron
Please Please do the Virtua Cop -3 !
Guncon
26:33
What is the statue for...
Link down game
you should upload random video from time to time
this channel is quiet
I'll try to upload more, have been a bit too busy lately
Well that was a shitty ending, you'd think something good would happen if you saved all the villagers or such.
06:42
This comment section game me cancer.
33:21 Orochimaru's theme?
WORST DIALOGUE EVAR.
superbigcat nah hotd has the worst
HOTD2. The first game's acting wasn't actually that bad, though very cheesy.
เเม่นชิปหาย
