Struggling to Remember a PS1 game - Please Help!

[Kikoskia]

Hey all.

I am struggling to remember a game that I briefly played when I was quite a bit younger. I am not totally sure, but I think it was on the PS1.

I remember that it started with you as a bearded man who wakes up from stasis without any memory of his past. He finds out he was actualyl scheduled to be in stasis forever, but was released for some unknown reason. He encounters a small robot to help him on his travels and then meets a woman later. It's not really an action game as combat is actually very infrequent in it, but it has a third person camera and a focus on item collection and usage, like Resident Evil does.

I remember that when teh characters talked, nothing of their faces moved. The plot later in the game involved clones, strange diseases and mutant soldiers, but the premise itself was so peculiar that I was thinking that I might remember it's name - sadly, I don't.

If anyone could help me, I'd be very happy to rediscover this game. :)

Was it Overblood by Electronic Arts?

It has to be Overblood, unless there's another PS1 game with a bearded guy who wakes up from stasis with amnesia and befriends a small robot. If there are two games like that, I'd have to say they were running short on ideas.

Boy, the graphics in that video are crude. I know people don't like PS1 graphics much, but even by those standards, looks pretty ugly.

Granstream Saga was a PSX title that didn't really have good graphics for the time it was released. In Granstream Saga the characters didn't even have faces either. I liked the game though.

I don't mind graphics though. As long as the game itself is good the graphics being poor don't bother me.

Pepooo!!!!

overblood im sure. anyone ever play the sequel? horrible

I used to work at Toys R Us, and everytime I walked by this case, I'd think to myself how ugly of a cover it was. It never looked very good at all. But now, having seen that few minutes on YouTube, I'm tempted to throw a dollar at this thing next time I see it at the swap meet. It's like the Troma Films of gaming: horrible, but in an almost charmingly bad way.

I'd swear there was a decent game somewheres in there. Definitly have to keep an eye out for it now. Doesnt look that bad to me.

PEEPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!


lol that is one of the psx's sleeping giants in my opinion, i love that game, shitty graphics, broken gameplay and all LOL

[Arkhan]

hmm

what part of this had crap graphics? Its PS1. Looks normal to me!

The whole game was pretty cool though. Sleeper hit right next to Broken helix and fade 2 black

Yeah, I liked it, even if it didn't have the best graphics or, ahem, voice acting. Not exactly Resident Evil, more like a 3D adventure game.

[allyourblood]

Probably the worst part of the visuals is the motion capture, or rather, the lack thereof. Almost every movement and pose is completely unnatural, like watching a bunch of marionettes. Quite creepy, actually. But again, that just fuels my interest in playing this trainwreck-for-the-senses firsthand.

*shrug* nothin wrong with sproingy hurpdurp models running around!

It's not like all PS1 games were created equal, just as there are both weak and strong examples of graphics for any system, and that definitely ain't a strong example for PS1, early days of 3D or not. Just compare Overblood to Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy IX, Metal Gear Solid, etc., and then say if it doesn't look like crap. :P Granted, those are later releases, but even if you limit the comparison to games prior to Overblood's 1997 release, it still was below average. Heck, it's not even as good looking as Resident Evil, the game it's trying to rip off, which came out over a year earlier.

i remember the end boss fight being on some metal gear solid, liquid snake "WHEN-THE-FUCK-WILL-THIS-GUY-DIE!!!" kind of thing lol, it was like a half hour long, never got a chance to rest.



im not sure about this part, but did u have to beat him without dying all the way through? or were there checkpoints? i kinda remember it being, like, if u died in the last battle, you'd have to restart the entire thing all over again
