That concept of music not kicking in til the action starts is actually pretty sick.
Edit :i was mostly talking about fighting games
Although, I don't think it would fit for every game, like I don't really see it working for smash, but it could work for Mortal Kombat or Killer Instinct
@@thecommenter6773 when i think fighting games, smash is like the last game that comes to mind.
Sonic Riders Zero Gravity did something like that.
Devil May Cry 5 does essentially the same thing, but adds a few more advancements to the concept.
Then you've also got first-person shooters like Serious Sam, Painkiller, and Doom (2016 and on) doing something similar where the music goes from calm or tense to full-on blasting once you've been spotted by enemies to any significant degree.
It's called a dynamic soundtrack.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has one. Take the first fight with the Metal Gear Ray. The instrumentals are blasting and it's a really badass thing, but when raiden is launched 5 stories into the air and the singer screams "RULES OF NATURE" as he slices the entire robot in half filled me with enough hype that I audibly yelled "Oh fuck yeah" at my TV.
Doom also has a bit of one depending on how much is happening in the current situation. it could either be you running around with some subtle synth music, or you could be in the middle of ripping an imp in half when the main riff to BFG Division kicks in.

Everyone I have a confession to make: as a kid I played Kung Fu Chaos and gotten 5 stars on every single stage and mini game with all unlockable costumes. I don't even remember how I managed it, all I can remember was how great the final stage theme was.
If only there were more X-Box gamers like you out there upping the sales figures to more oddball titles it wouldn't be simply known as the "Console for playing Halo & CoD on"
This game was the greatest still play it with my siblings once in a while
Pan, I think this is one of the best videos you've ever made, and I ain't saying that to be nice. Lots of the type of humour you excel in and interesting behind-the-scenes lore on things I've never heard of.

Remember, the best iconic characters are the ones you can easily recognize from their silhouette alone.
That's not really true though. plenty of characters are recognizable without having a defining shape. Agent 47 is iconic but if you had a silhouette of him its just a bald guy
@@uckbritley1305 I'm talking like Bugs Bunny, Micky Mouse, Spongebob or Mario. Agent 47 isn't super iconic like those characters.
Scrunt Bungle I think what he means to say would be characters with a highly distinctive look to them. Not necessarily the quality of the character.
@@chickenfdisoruhg4915 but thats what i mean. The hitman suit and gloves are iconic without being noticably different in shape from any other suits. Making a character that has a distinguishable silhouette doesn't make it good design, it just makes it different. Different doesnt always equal good
Scrunt Bungle While I agree with you that different doesnât equate to good, a good rule of thumb would be to have designs with distinct silhouettes. Of course, there can still be iconic characters with simpler designs like the hitman. However, to pull off that sort of unique look would definitely prove more challenging-though I get what you mean.

your channel is literally what G4 should have been. including the impeccable aesthetic.
I can't begin to describe how much I love the slide-in geometric logos and text. It's weirdly both a bit dated and timeless at the same time.
That IS what G4TV was like in it's infancy days when I discovered it the summer of 2002, all it's original programing and animated bumpers were something magical. Sadly as the decade carried on it started resembling Spike TV a little too much :-(

The controversy over the Koran being used as a sample reminds me of the Stardust Crusaders OVA and it's controversy. They depicted DIO reading the Koran because it was the only Arabic text they had on hand. They had to edit it out, but it was already too late and it basically screwed the whole production.

I absolutely LOVED Kung Fu Chaos growing up. Hell, I still love it. And I love the artstyle as well. It's so weird, and while yeah it's ethically a little... Questionable... The idea is just so charming that I can't help but come back to it every few years.
While I appreciate you telling all us agnostics to cover our ears at the sound of religious music I will say that that chanting is fucking dope man! I love the way that sounds.
I know that this is 2 years old, but thereâs a song called Dreams by ZHU or something that has this chant in it. Its pretty good
Kung fu chaos was my damn favorite game on Xbox. Its damn hilarious when you get to taunt and the manual has a funny description of his movie.
I love your commercial cutaways when you come back with the music and fanart. It just has that early 200s nostalgia vibe that is perfect for your channel. Like ive seen almost all your videos and every damn time a commercial cutaway happens im always like âmmmm niceâ
That Ultimate Gamer show looks like a parody show you'd see in something like The Simpsons, Family Gut or South Park...

@@lajenehuen260 I sometimes accidentally misspell words when I'm typing quickly...
@@vulpixsmi I knew you mispelled. I just had to point it out because it's funny
The Muslim guy's music having the chants remixed into it sounds dope, sacrilege be damned. I'm gonna have to look that game's soundtrack up sometime.
I really don't understand how this is offensive.
The 'chant' from the game starts with the phrase " in the name of god" in arabic and then 2 verses from one sura and 2 verse from an entirely different one and without any instrumental unlike the similar snippets of audio from the other games. Its pretty damn blatant and not much of a remix honestly. But if they DID want Arabic vocals and keep that eerie aesthetic, ironically there are plenty of religious songs to choose from. Or just have a couple of made up chants that aren't lifted from the Quran, it's not hard. I certainly find it distasteful but I can clearly tell they had really good intentions with the music, they just didn't know any better.
@@MrSafior I think when they say it's not supposed to have music with it, it might be because music crowds out the chant and they want the listener's full attention being given to the words.
Even as someone who *LOOOOVES* music, I can understand why it might be offensive to "dilute" something that's meant to be divine... But at the same time I still think it sounds kinda cool, and I kinda wish it wasn't something people would get upset about.
@@MrSafior Like many religious texts its simply blasphemous to hear outside of context.
I had a christian friend in high school who got the LoZ: windwaker copy I lent them taken away by their mom and given back to me, along with grounding, simply for having the word "God" in it used for the fake in game ones.
So you can imagine how hearing actual chants from an even less chilled over time religious community play as in a street fight in a game would go over.
Wajima Aw man, that sucks... I can understand the Muslim chanting thing, but parents banning their kid from a game because it has it's own fantasy religion, specifically to keep from alienating or offending players who have different beliefs? Big BIG oof. I hope they got to play the game on their own terms, that's a really good game

Crimson skies could easily be a MASSIVE game series
Honestly, any universe that relies off air combat and fictional countries and factions can hit it out of the park most of the time. Look at the ace combat universe of Strangereal or even Project Wingmanâs universe
Fun Fact: Shadow who appear in Kakuto Chojin is actually a character from Double Dragon, appearing in Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls (as Shadow Master) which is another Fighting Game but for SNES I believe.

I thought this was going to be concerning the retooled version of Kakuto's theme
the muslim chants also appeared as the intro to Eastern Mind: the Lost Souls of Tong-Nou's main theme (by Osamu Sato, who made LSD Dream Emulator!)

Even though the art style was a bit questionable kung fu chaos really seemed like a labor of love and itâs sad to see it fade into obscurity. Also, who voiced Nathan Zachary? It sounds so familiar and itâs driving me nuts

How is this game not a classic again?
@the hevy do you not understand a joke?
Kung Fu Chaos was one of the first brawler games I remember playing, and I loved it!
Me and my brother loved playing that game together!
Heh. Weâd always fight over who would be Ninja Fu Hiya (best character btw)
Iâd kill for a full on remake of that game!
It was great to see a balanced approach to Kakuto Chojin here. I bought it when it came out and enjoyed it for what it was. I remember working in videogame retail during the time it was recalled, but I was unaware it got a reprint after. That explains why the game is still fairly common today (copies dried up immediately after the recall). The game itself received poor reviews upon release, but there's some nuanced depth to it that made it pretty fun for people like me that like to sit in practice mode, perfecting moves and strings of hits (like interesting, flexible air juggles). I haven't played it in a while but still rock the soundtrack frequently--it's one of my favorite gaming OSTs to this day. Had it not been for the tunes and the overall tone/aesthetic, I probably wouldn't have gotten into it the way I did. By the way, nice work overall here--that dance to Vittoria's theme song had me laughing out loud, haha.

Kung Fu Chaos deserves a sequel. I so many fond memories of that game, so much fun. would fully support a remake or sequel.
I really hope we see Blinx next time, I was looking forward to seeing Pan cover it.

Such an obtuse subject to get a long episode :p
I am very passionate about things no one else is talking about
Iâd be down for a remake of Kung Fu Chaos, especially if they go with a more anime inspired look like it was initially supposed to be.
There's something I really like about the aesthetic to Kung Gu chaos, something about the fucking grotesquely stylized character designs feels incredibly suitable for the backdrop of 70s exploitation film genres.
If you *ever* make a part 3 of this Xbox series, check out *Phantom Crash* , a mech-based 3rd person shooter mixed with the single player taking cues from Gran Turismo (with manufacturers, parts, etc), an unique artstyle and soundtrack. A very overlooked & underrated game for the Big Green. Even got a sequel on PS2 called S.L.A.I. Steel Lancer Arena International

âDirty dunce, you said if I won you wouldnât do this anymore.â WHAT

âThe booty has been dropped/taken.â - itâs amazing how things are so unintentionally perfect sometimes đ
Kung fu Chaos, still have the game and still love it!
Also Kakuto Chojin, Iâve always wanted that game but thanks to the damn recall it almost hard to find a copy. If they did backpack it with the edited version then Iâd buy it in a heartbeat đđŸ
God I remember all the good memories I had with my siblings playing Kung fu chaos. It definitely did not age as well as I would have hoped
Huh...my copy of OoT had that chanting...explains why I felt weird when in the Fire Temple as a kid
9:10 the dubbing there is surprisingly really good, just that line.
I grew up with Kung fu Chaos.
You may ask why my family would allow me to play such a weird game with such weird naughty themes.
Because none of them speak English.
Speaking of aesthetics, I love the aesthetic of these videos it feels like another world almost
I love your style, the way you set up these videos is fantastic. Your passion shines through and is really endearing; makes me feel right at home.
