The lights are on
Here at Game Informer, we have a staff of experienced gamers that have played and defeated just about every game you can imagine. However, we were utterly defeated by one particular title last summer...1997's Overblood. I had the main game picked for our Revolution X episode of Replay, but I needed to grab something from the vault for our Roulette game. I scanned the Playstation section and spotted Overblood, an EA-published game that I had never even heard of. What followed was perhaps the most unsuccessful moment of our gaming careers, and it was all caught on tape. With Tim at the controls and Reiner, Matt Helgeson, and myself trying to figure out what to do, we froze to death in the very first room of the game.
Well, we're back for revenge. We vow to play through the entirety of this completely forgettable survival horror title, and we're giving you lucky readers the chance to watch the drama unfold. Enjoy.
1/10 UPDATE: The password thing might have gotten messed up since people posted them in the comments, but our readers have put together a Facebook group for people that watched all six parts. Join and mourn the loss from Part 2 with others that know your pain.
1/12 UPDATE: Yeah, we got us some Pipo shirts.
Check out all our other Replays at our hub.
Aww my poor Pipo =(
Comments on Part 1:
-The statue death has got to be the best fail I have ever seen!
-Don't get technical with me on the first comment.
-I'm totally reading the strategy guide as I'm watching this Replay, and am cracking up as much as Matt and Ben.
-Yeah, I remember "The Indian in the Cupboard."
-Wow, was that an antigravity chip or a jetpack!?
-The R. Kelly song is from Space Jam... personally I liked his pieces in that South Park episode (AND SO I PULL OUT MY GUN!)
-"I don't feel that I should be judged for what I just experienced..." Yeah. Well to help you with that, here's Roy Campbell (I think) to help you through the traumatic experience that is OverBlood...
"Raiden, turn off the game console. You've been playing for a long time. Cut the power, now. You'll burn your eyes out playing so close to the TV. Raiden, do you copy!?"
I always thought it was funny when they said Pipo. and now i may never hear it again. and also i wonder when this will be released for playstation one classics on PSN
Curse your cliffhangers!
Those two attacks scenes had me rolling. Keep these coming guys, I'm on pins and needles here awaiting the conclusion to the adventures of Wienerless Steve.
You guys prove again and again that with each turd there is at least some amount of shine.
Code 1: Wernerless Steve
Code: 2 Pipoooooooo
WIENERLESS STEVE feels guilty for PIPOOOOOOOO
Pipoooooooo!
PIPOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Noooooo!
The music in the room you find the chick sounds like it's from The Neverending Story. Also I love the bit about the middle school dance.
PIPOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Holy Lord, I laughed SO hard when that statue slowly fell on the character. Hahaha.
Awesome, though I have no idea where to send the passwords.
Lol at the statue. think i'm going to be more cautious when i see levating objects that have gravity modules on them. these animations are killing me(weird E.T. esque pushing motion) and after a whole episode the voice recorder was in the second room lmao!!!! and poor pipoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! i'm predicting this to be a pretty long replay.
WHY..PIPOOOOOOOOOO.....WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WEINERLESS STEVE: Pipoooooooo!!!!
I'm crying from laughing so hard. That first enemy encounter is leagues better than the first zombie in the original Resident Evil.
This is...brilliant!!! XD
