- My absolute favourite Pac-Man game is back. Repackaged for a new generation, did Bandai Namco do the game justice or is this a cheap cash grab? Today, I compare the remake to it's legacy.

“Pac-Man had sex when he was TWO?!”
That was not how I was expecting my day to start.
Im so happy that the creator ive been watching since 2008, since i was 8 years old, is still making content today and is doing so in a very passionate way
fuck me, in 2008 i was the age that u r now at
Same here. 23 now. I’ve been rewatching the Sonic Adventure playthrough
@@mystikgleam9541 I’m 20, rewatching his SA2 one…
God time flies when you’re having a good time.
Ah yes. 5:00 AM Clement. The best kind of Clement.
O boy 5 AM, also I 🖤 your avatar of Sneasel.🙂
@@mikekomarinski Thanks! A friend made it for me a few years ago.

I'm glad Clement is having so much more success enjoying what he's doing now and every video is a banger.
I don't know why everyone takes so much issue with the classic 'bad ending'. If I built a Mecha-Clement and kidnapped all of his family members, I don't think he'd really want to be my friend either
Lol mecha clement
It's 2023, no one can take a goddamn joke anymore. Especially a nice dark joke.
Wow! I used to watch your videos all the time when I was in middle school and I have to say that you've struck the transition into video essays pretty smoothly. You bring up a lot here that I hadn't considered in a nice, concise way, while still having a bit of that older YT vibe. Very good stuff, looking forward to more!
You introduced me to this game back in the days. Can’t wait to find the time to play the remake.
The pacman world remake was definitely an unexpected surprise. Though I did wish we got a remake of the second one too but hey maybe in the future. You never know.
Sure (with the characters having the designs they had in the original PMW2), and a Pac-Man World 4!
@@kieranstark7213 It's not like Ms., Baby, and Jr. were even in 2. Only Professor, and he was safe from the purge.
Actually, Ms. Pac-Man did make a cameo as just a picture in the second cutscene of PMW2 and Jr. did make a cameo in the ending cutscene as one of the Pac-Villagers. But yeah, as of the 21st Century, Baby Pac-Man (and I mean the original) is now history, probably because of how little of an impact she left on even Namco themselves (outside of having a very cute design which is to be expected from a Pac-Man character).
@@kieranstark7213 unfortunately I'm not sure if the area in Pac-Village that lets you play some of the arcade games if you have enough tokens will return because of Ms. Pac-Man
Orson the Beta: You ruined everything! It's not fair! No one loves a ghost... 🥺
Pac-man the Sigma Chad: Your grief means nothing to me. *chomp* 😎
Great vid as always, Clement!
Pac-man really has no chill.
As someone who has been watching your stuff for over 10 years now, It's great not only seeing this review from you but being able to see just how far you've come in terms of production and quality. It's like a whole new level and era of Clement goodness. The effort to up things is very apparent and I am glad to have been around to observe the evolution!
This was a really fun watch. Glad you got to cover something that you were super passionate about like this!
It's impressive how much fun Clement has with these reviews.
Glad to see Pac-Man World come back for a brand new audience. Hopefully this sells well enough for the sequels to get the RePac treatment too.
No doubt, that will B on your 2 do list.🙂
This title made me just now realize the jokes that can be made featuring both Pacman and Tupac.
Anyway, Ms.Pacman still Man's one true love, all these imposters are just understudies while she handles her parents battle for custody
Just letting you know I was one of the few who supported and enjoyed the Pac-Man World LP, plus I grew up with this series, it's always nice to see reviews on it.
*The Pac Is Back Intensifies*
Chomping feet.
Pac's our hero!
Pac beats his MEAT-
You forgot to mention that Toc-Man ''awakens'' each of the bosses to fight Pac-Man instead of the fight starting without any explanation.
This was a fantastic look at both the original and remake of Pac-Man World! Thanks for making a video on this!
I can't believe that let's play was 8 years ago 😭 great video! Helped me get through a quiet shift at work
Don't we feel old?!
It's been a little while since you stopped doing Let's Play videos and I have to say, this (as well as your other videos) has been the best course for your content to have taken. A proper evolution of the laid back, conversational retrospective/review styled commentary you gave during those early years of doing video games adapted from films that evolved as you moved on to the Mega Man series and the Sonic series. Condensing it into a shorter, single video has been so much easier to keep up with and offers much more variety for your content as it gives you the freedom to quickly move on from game to game, no longer having to stick to one franchise for years on end. Excellent video, it was the perfect companion piece to your original Let's Play of Pac Man World from nearly 10 years ago and really shows how much you've grown as a creator.
As someone who didn’t grow with these games but still played classic Pac-Man in the Namco Museum Compilation I found this video so much fun to watch, informative and got some good laughs! Thank you our Great Clement!
I loved Pac-Man World as a kid. The remake's enhancements do sound really good. I'll definitely pick it up later for my PS5. Thanks for the nice, positive video 👍
Maybe it's cause I'm getting older but now I see new changes to old school games to be a bit nicer and I'm like "oh thank God"
I don't wanna deal with "you messed up, now you have to redo it all". All I lose is time and as an adult, that's my most valuable resource.
Play the originals if you want, I'll take stuff that is just a li'l nicer and easier.
Yep, I was waiting for this video to be made after the fact our beloved The Great Clement did a PacMan World One LP and that "Pac Man World Re-Pac" is a thing ^w^
Clement ur videos are great,my only complaint is i wish there were more of them but i digress, keep up the consistant quality !!!
The year of the pac being back !!!
Nice job on the video as always good sir. Keep up the amazing work always!
I really enjoyed the remake and 100% it for the first time last month, a special shout out to Re-Pac's new end credits song that is an absolute banger called "We are PAC-MAN!" Performed by Kaho Kidoguchi, which was also previously commissioned and used for an official music video for the franchise’s 42nd birthday.
I guess you could say that this video is a *fumbles with sun glasses*
Remake or Rebreak.
*YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!* also funny that EXO's probably gone at this rate so. We got to have a Remake or Rebreak inspired video for repac
I found HMS Windbag to be fun in both versions of the game. I hated Anubis Rex and King Galaxian in the orignal because Anubis Rex throws a lot of crap at you as you hurt him more and King Galaxian you had to tap the buttons many times to shoot and if you died at any part of the fight, you had to either start all the way back from the beginning of the fight or if you got the checkpoint all the way from the beginning of King Galaxian’s fight.
Say what you will about Anubis Rex in the original but at least it saved your progress each time you hurt him unlike King Galaxianwhere you only recover 1 health each time you hurt him and his attacks as well as his minions attacks can cover the screen so if you are on the wrong areas of the screen, you can lose 1, 2, 3, or even all 4 health and have to start over again.
At least they fixed Anubis Rex and King Galaxian in the remake to be more fair then they were in the original.
I also like how if you don’t save everyone, then after you defeat Toc-Man, the ghosts set the rest of Pac-Man’s family free, I guess that they are not such bad guys after all. But if you do then Pac-Man doesn’t hold anything against Orson. Also Orson aside from trying to kill Pac-Man, I do feel like this would make a better premise for him to repent and be a friend to Pac-Man in the third game if Pac-Man forgives him.
Lastly I find it strange that Pac-Man’s family is called Pac-Mom Pac-boy, and Pac-Sis. Like that just sounds wrong and incestous to me. Why couldn’t they call them Pac-Wife, Pac-Son and Pac-Daughter instead? Like in the game they even call Pac-Man darling, father, and daddy respectively.
I want a remake of Pac-Man World 3 where if you have save data from Re-Pac, you can select from the start which ending of this game is canon to your playthrough and all the dialog and character interactions between Pac-Man and Orson change accordingly
And also where the game is fun
I will always find the original ending more memorable because its funny. Dude did literally kidnap your entire family. Don't think anyone is going to listen to some kind of sob story.
I liked Pac-Marie i wished they would have used her
*I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO. I WATCHED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS SINCE THE MMZ PLAYTHROUGHS.*
I'm glad you didn't apologize for the puns.
People really gotta suck it up and accept these puns.
Surprised no one's mentioned it, but Easy Mode's flutter jump actually only lasts 20 seconds (compared to the standard 2) - so basically as long as you'd reasonably need it to last, but not literally forever. (I have used it until it runs out quite extensively for a challenge run I'm making a video about!)
Good review, though. I think I saw the first game through nostalgia goggles and thought the remake really made some unnecessary changes in the feel of the game, but after hearing you demonstrate the QoL changes, I'm starting to reconsider.
The one thing regarding Ms. Pac-Man that I should mention is that Namco and GCC were negotiating terms to hand over the rights of Ms. Pac-Man over to Namco, but suddenly AtGames of all people ended up buying the rights and Namco wasn't too happy about that. There was also some things about false advertising regarding when AtGames released some Namco mini consoles with the games being the NES ports despite being advertised as the arcade originals. Needless to say, rather than work with AtGames, Namco just said "fuck that" which is why we have Pac-Mom and her kids.
Thanks for information, now I want to kill atgames
It's been so long since I watched a video on your channel I completely stumbled onto video nice to know that you've made a comparison video between the oringal version of the game to the remake also I do remember when you covered the oringal playstation version of the game on your channel since that was your first time covering a game about Pac-Man on your channel I remember watching a few parts of that let's play on the game I should definitely get around to watching the full let's play of the oringal Pac-Man world it would be very nostalgic to revisit a let's play series like that
It was weird to see a traditional CZcams outro sequence from a video on this channel. This really is a new era. And with it comes a new subscriber. Video essays are one of my special interests, and yours are good enough to make me want to watch them regardless of whether or not I'm particularly interested in their topics. I'll see you next month. Toodles.
I'm new to your channel and I love your brand of humor so I subscribed. I also recently fell in love with the ps1 classic and wanted the remake! Havent got it yet.
Wow, it's already been 8 years since the PM: World LP.
Back when he did LPs....
I miss those days.
I like to see Pac Man world 2 remastered since that was first Pac Man world game I played.
Recently played through Re-Pac and I had a great time! I did start wondering about how it differed from the original and looking up comparisons. I'm glad to hear most agree the game is pretty loyal to the original and most of the changes (save for the cutscenes, which I agree are more charming in the original) seem to be not just for the better, but appear to often be clever improvements that understood what worked well in the game and what didn't. That's what you want to hear whenever a remake comes out!
Great video I’m actually interested in the remake and plan on getting it way before you made this video but I’m glad you have an opinion on it
Bring Back Ms. Pac Man Dammit. The imposter is not worthy. Seriously look how they Massacred my Girl
Glad that you are covering this remake since I remember seeing your Pac Man World lets play back over half a decade ago (has it really been that long ago!?). I bought this game day one as I always wanted this game to be remade. Hope to see a Pac Man World 2 RePac in the future.
Thank you for this Clement
Love this new style of video content. I can't wait for you to one day talk about Starfox Zero, I know that's a game you had a LOT of opinions about!
I AM SO MAD THATTHIS CAMEOUT **SIX** DAYS AGO AND IM JUST SEEING IT NOW
Pac-Man Dialogue:
1:04 I wanna have puzzles like Tetris!
1:06 I wanna have a Kart Racing game like Mario Kart
1:08 I WANNA GO INSANE! ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆGHHH
glad that you Enjoyed the Game, Clementj64. the Remake Truely is well made and fun as the Original, and the Good Ending is also really good as it was explaining the Friendship between Pac-Man and Orson.
Great video, Clement!
Man, I LOVED Pac-Man World 2. I spent so many hours on that game. I emulate it nowadays.
I'd have had it be Pac-Man's _38th_ birthday rather than his 20th. He was a Pac _Man_ during his first game's debut in 1980, after all!
I remember playing this game on my PlayStation 1 as a kid awesome video man
So about the intro. Aside from Pooka, a lot of other Namco characters were supposed to be guest characters who were invited to Pac-Man's birthday. There are storyboards showing this, you can find them on CZcams.
Great video Clement
12:11
Clement: "Don't take that out of context"
To late!
Also, the bit in Far out with the Pacman letter is taken DIRECTLY from the Japanese version as well.
Namco better make Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac cause I need Clement to talk about Pac-Man World 2.
A friend of mine said that if they ever remake Pac-Man World 2, it should be called Pac-Man World 2Pac.
RIP 2Pac
Interestingly, in the Jappanesse version, if you died in a maze, you would exit out of it and back into the stage. It would refill your health upon starting a maze however.
Oh what the hell? I don't remember seeing this in my sub box. Glad I can watch it now!
pac n roll is a pacman game released exclusively on the Nintendo ds and it served as a prequel to the other pacman game's like you know something of an origin story that explains where the power pellets come from and why pacman and the ghost gang are always at such odds in it the ghost gang release a legendary evil ghost named golvis from his slumber to wreck havock on the pac people he turns a bunch of pac people including a young pacman into limbless talking tennis balls and pacman sets off with the help of a fairy to save his species the ghost knowing of this try to get in his way frequently throughout levels but fail because of the power pellets which come from some sort of tree pacman faces off against golvis at multiple points and always comes out on top thanks to the fairy who i like to think is the fairy from pacland the game not the fictional town in the game's he saves the other characters that we're captured which included pacgirl who is a younger ms pacman which allows thing's to make much more sense pac master and other characters i don't remember the names of all of which he knew during his childhood pacman has a final encounter with golvis where he defeats him for real the pac people all return back to normal pacman who by he way was still called pacman then that's his litearl birth name is hailed as a hero pacgirl has a crush on him now and the ghost gang watch from a television and get angry when their told that golvis was actually known for his failure so I'm assuming they held a grudge against him ever since then
4:30 "Son I have to tell you something...we're not your parents. Sex is a myth. You were engineered by storks."
Almost done with repac. I'm also loving it. I so hope they do repacs for 2 and 3
I think it's worth noting regarding easy mode in Repac is this is a kid's game. Like...4 year old kid's games. While it might be easy to laugh it off as "this game isn't that hard" some kid who can't even read yet and wouldn't understand platforming as a concept might be playing.
Easy mode in that sense is kinda like the equivalent of letting a kid play Half-Life but you make him invulnerable and give him all the weapons first. Might remove basically all difficulty and greater gameplay but for an audience young enough this means they can actually progress.
Loved you Paxman World LP and I love this Re PAC
Yooo new Clement just dropped
"I did a let's play of this game back in 2014"
...holy fuck. Has it really been that long?!
A Tale of 2 Pacs. The video title is a play of words of the Charles Dicksens book, A Tale of 2 Citys.
Aw pac baby/pac sis is so cute
The way he CHOMPED Orson🤣🤣🤣Pac Man said 🤷♂️
Btw "Sorry for KIDNAPPING your family" whatduhfuuuck😭😭
I still remember your LP of the OG game back in 2014, it even convinced me to play it myself! Unfortunately my backlog is kinda full right now, so the remake will have to wait.
Interestingly enough, another canadian youtuber reviewed Re-Pac (and compared it to the original) and he thought he flutter jump was overpowered, The Duality of Man, I suppose.
I really love the idea of an optional easy mode, I just wish they kept all of the accessibility changes to the easy mode because the remake is way too easy 🙃The original isn't too much of a challenge, but the remake was such a mindless walk in the park.
Also Orson getting what's coming to him is a way better ending 😤
My only guess for the rev roll damage is that maybe when you bounce off the enemy you might sometimes hit the spike on their head before they die, but that is just a guess
Clement continues to be the most sensible and reasonable gamers on the internet.
What do you think about Sonic Frontiers and especially the Sonic Origins compilation
ghosts chompin at his feet pac's our hero
pac just can't be beat yeaaaaah
I had never heard of this series until I was in late middle-school or early high-school, but I always thought that Toc-Man was really damn freaky looking. It was really uncanny and jagged compared to Pac-Man's simplistic, yet cheerful design. I think his redesign is better in the sense that it's still freaky, but it wouldn't turn me away as a little kid.
I'm not going to lie, I stopped watching your content after you stopped with LPs but I really enjoyed this. I hope you do more videos like this :)
Companies planning to remake classic games should take notes from this game on how to do it right.
And make it overly easy and fuck it up. This just feels like goes in the other extreme. I don't know why they can't meet somewhere in the middle.
I got to say this new pac man looks awesome
Love you Clement
No Anubis Rex is literally hell
Great video
Suikoden was definitely top tier, cant wait for the remaster
Cant wait for Clement's review on Sonic Frontiers.
Hopefully he'll do a video on the Sonic Origins compilation as well especially because of the inclusion of a certain classic game
I remember the pacman let's play :D
So am I the only one here who thinks that Pac-Mom, Pac-Boy, and Pac-Sis could all be superhero alter egos of their respective characters?
Do you got plans to do a video on Sonic frontiers when the game actually comes out.
Yeah it does look fun and would definitely buy the PS4 over the switch version for sure. Heard that version is not a soild version but at least the PS4 one plays pretty well. Damn shame that there is no outtakes or even an art gallery but I guess I could understand the gallery not being there. Not that many gamers even care about modes like that anymore but no outtakes come on. Still a pretty good remake of the first game and definitely in theme for Halloween.
Bit of an odd question. Do you plan to bring back Let's Plays? Because you were always so passionate about it, and yet you threw that all away after one tanked. Is one bad case really the thing that's keeping you from standing back up?
You don't know Clement if you think that one thing caused a whole year without LPs. It was merely the final straw. He was already unsatisfied with LPs by the end of his Sonic marathon.
@@jlev1028 So I'm not allowed to ask, is what you're saying? Clement would be nothing without subscribers and people leaving comments and suggestions. To me, his LPs were his best years on YT. If he wants to move on, fine, but I'm not forcing a stick up his ass by merely asking
So 100 is tied to scoring a big mill. And I myself don't even last that long until I reached the elusive 1 million points.
Oh boy! 5:00 AM!
im losing sleep over the integrity of pac man
Actually namco made a plug in tv game with ms pac man in it
Hey Clement! Long time Sub here! Been watching you since the MegaMan X let's plays. Anyways, I would like to know if we could get your thoughts on the latest Sonic Game: Sonic Frontiers for multiplats. It looks very promising imo. Thanks in advance.
