I have no idea why I like this game so much, but I just do! The atmosphere, sound track, monster designs...it's just way ahead of it's time, and absolutely begging for a remake! Any other games like this you'd like to see on the channel?

I remember it but sadly I only played the demo and wish I was able to buy it at the time. It was such a fun and scary game.

There actually was a remake/remaster announcement a few years ago. I forget the team that picked it up, but they were a small, indie horror studio that had to shelve the project because they didn't have the resources to properly make it. I really hope that someday we can get a remaster/remake.

Ah, so that's what happened. No wonder I haven't heard from it.

Loved this game the few times I played it. In regards to what the side bar is; if I'm remembering the lore of the game correctly, Crowley has flooded the world with a gas that turns people into monsters. That side bar is your adrenaline, and keeping it going is the only way to fight off the gas. Killing monsters spikes your adrenaline and refills the bar. It's basically the movie Crank if it were a horror and Jason Statham were a badass monk.

I think the adrenaline bar was a bad design choice. In later levels, it depletes so fast that you can't explore properly which is a shame. On the PlayStation version there is no way to turn it off.

It's probably hard for younger gamers to wrap their heads around, but as a kid in the 90s, before a new PS1 or N64 game came out, there would be a buildup of anticipation from reading the articles and advertisements in the game magazines (with plastic wrapping over them) and eventually playing the demos that would be provided on demo discs (which is where I got my first taste of this game) before FINALLY playing the actual game itself, which was often a social event as several friends would gather at someone's house after talking that person's parents into driving us to Blockbuster to rent it (God, it makes me feel old to write those words.) No matter how good of a TV you may have played this on, it was still severely constrained by the graphical limitations of the time, but your own imagination - fueled by the aforementioned hype buildup - would fill in the gaps. Back then, I truly felt I was venturing into the fog of 19th-century London every time I played this game.

I never knew there was a pc version. I always played the ps1 version that i rented. As a kid I absolutely loved that it was an action game with horror themes like Doom or Splatter House. I feel like there should be more games with horror theming without being powerless.

Just FYI, Spitalfields is a district of East London, most famous as one of the haunts Jack the Ripper liked to frequent.

That blue bar that is constantly draining is your "Adrenaline Meter" and killing monsters will refill it.I don't remember the story reason, but if that drains your character has a heart attack and dies.

@@mistery8363 At the 3:50 mark when Matt gets spooked, he says “Oh no Adrian! The nightmare creatures are poisoning the water supply!”. It’s a riff on the first line from the “Saturday Morning Watchmen” cartoon parody by harry partridge. It was a viral video back in 2009

The part at the beginning where the werewolf jumps out of the door literally made me unable to sleep for 3 days as a child.

This is one of the first game I ever remember playing as a kid on my uncle's windows 95 pc It was a demo and I remember I couldn't even get past the first level. It's still such a cool game and has aged really well unlike most other ps1 games. I replayed it on a ps1 emulator on my phone. I'll be really happy if they bring back this franchise with a Remake or something.

The commercial for this game, even though it wasn't that (or at all) scary, probably contributed to one of the most vivid and terrifying nightmares I've ever had. 20 years later I can still remember it

I only ever played the demo of this as I was one of those poor kid demo disc hoarders. I played it a lot and always wanted to get the full game. So glad it’s still getting love and recognition. I’d love to see this series come back. Great video dude.

So... what's the current math on Bloodborne? Nightmare Creatures + Brotherhood of the Wolf + Lovecraft + FromSoft = Bloodborne Is what I'm guessing!

"You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice." Scott Steiner knows his math

I loved this one when it came out. If I remember correctly, it was one of the first games you could use the dual analog sticks for. I bought the new dual analog controller the same day when I got this!

I remember this game coming out. The gothic horror third person action game hadn't been explored much at this point, and I remember loving the concept and setting when this was released. I was always curious in regards to what happened to the franchise, because it appeared financially successful, and they were even talking about a movie at one point (which sadly never went into production). Video game magazines at the time (remember those?) just whinged about how it wasn't as good as Resident Evil, which was kind of missing the point. And for the record "Ignatius" is pronounced "Ig-nay-shus". Coincidentally around the time this game was released I had the pronunciation of this name beaten into me. Not that you'll actually need to know that outside of playing this game, but hey, now you know.

I love this game. I wish they made this over for next generation consoles.

Nightmare Creatures 3 was gonna be on the original Xbox, called Nightmare Creatures 3: Angel of Darkness Kalisto went bankrupt while it was in production, if I remember right I'd fuckin LOVE to see you do a wha happun on Nightmare Creatures! And if you decide to play 2 on Dreamcast, you can get into the debug menu (for invincibility and instant kill and blood color change) you highlight options, hold l and r, and press: left b x left b x left b x a x

oh man, this was the first horror game I ever played/fell in love with. When you went back through the door behind you after remembering the pickup behind there I went right back to being 11 and having my mind blown. Thanks pal!

this game is so iconic, everything about it is so memorable

N64 version is more eerie due to the fact that it doesn’t have any cuts scenes. Just screeching from creatures and black screens with a spooky OST

For the longest time I used to only have the demo and I would play it over and over. When I finally got a used ps1 late in its life cycle. I got the full game. It ws my favorite game. I never blocked and everyone dies.

I´d love the gameplay with Liam, I'm totally hooked to your Castlevania64 series.

I never played it but it seems cool that monsters appear from hidden places and caught you off guard, most people would complain nowadays though

Fuck I loved this game so much! I never brought it for the PS1 but I remember renting it after playing the demo on the PlayStation underground demo disc for holiday 97(anyone remember that?) And I was already at that time(I was 11 then) a huge fan of horror films. I just loved how visceral it was. I did like nightmare creatures 2 as well but it just did not flow as well as this game did. I also think a wha happen could be Done for this series. Especially when the developers got in trouble before they went under. The first game I also think did have a turbulent production

Thinking it doesn’t hold up well, but this era of PS2 makes me wanna see The Suffering!

Few games were advertised like this one was. You couldn’t open a gaming magazine without seeing 10 ads. The commercial was cool too. I guess the marketing team just did a fantastic job. Pre-internet, everyone still knew about those creatures

Those big blue stone gorilla things are what you get if Raziel and The Hulk had babies.

And some advice on the platforming but, holding block allows you to make slow, controlled movements. You'll walk slowly forward and backwards, and pressing the side dodge buttons will have you move slowly to the side. That's how you position yourself for the jumps without yeeting yourself into oblivion

I have loved this game since it released. I played the demo and was instantly hooked. I would love to see a full LP please!

As a kid, this game scared the FUCK out of me. I remember never being able to go too far because I was too spooked , but always came back to try again, hahah.

There was also a Nightmare Creatures beat em up released on mobile in 2003

I can hear happy Caddicarus noises somewhere in the distance

I remember going to my friends house and playing this I never knew the name and today I figured out you opened up so many childhood memories

Funny, I was just playing through this a couple months ago. Got farther than I ever did as a kid. Great game! Love finding all of the secrets and weapon upgrades.

Fear the old polygons, Lawrence.

Loved this game as a kid, especially the cheat where you play each level as a different monster, really fun spin

Every time you say "Adam Crowley, baybay" I get the biggest grin on my face. Adam Cole is such a lovely man. And now I'm thinking about BUDGE!

Blast from the past. Played the demo a ton (mainly because the only other thing on that disc worth playing was the Net Yaroze Pac-Man rip off), didn't get around to playing the full game until the PS2 was a thing. The badguy is ridiculously cool looking when you're an edgy kid.

So glad I found your channel Matt. I missed your input dearly.

Wow. I'm on some kind of pulse. Just went and watched a playthrough of this and re-read the instruction manual. All of a sudden, it's making a little Halloween comeback on some channels. I think I always enjoyed the idea of this game more than the gameplay. Yes, the atmosphere was awesome. The idea of running around London streets, hacking up monsters and demons was truly cool for an old-school monster movie fan.

It's such a vibe

I just remember the voice of The Brain narrating the commercials for this game.

we need a remaster of this right now!

I tried playing this this morning and got a game over at the exact same place in the exact same way

Spitalfields is in London; it has A - a market and B - mass graves from the Plague

I was not a fan of playing Resident Evil, but this gave me a horror-action fix back in the day. I am kinda surprised no one has snatched up the IP to do a remaster or something. We've seen stranger things come back out of nowhere.

I still have a box copy of this.. I kept getting to the same place and getting stuck when I was a kid

This is a underappreciated gem of a game I loved this game. They made a sequel had a 3rd in the works which looked promising but they pulled the plug. If you like this try parasite Eve

I'd rather have a full on reboot of Nightmare Creatures rather than just a remaster. Take the story, setting and characters, then completely rework everything. Make it bigger and better in every single way. For me, Bloodborne was what a modern Nightmare Creatures could be.

Glad to see this game some love. I still have this for N64 and it's still fun

The real nightmare creature was the water

I loved this game growing up.

This was my very first PS1 game and still one of my all time favorites!

Was not expecting the Saturday Morning Watchmen pull.

I was just thinking about this game, and decided to visit your channel - then lo and behold! I rented this once on PS1, but don’t really remember anything about it. Seems pretty cool though, I might pick it up!

This game hit me at just the right time, when I was bridging into more "Fantasy" elements, but still was discovering more appreciation for Horror... and LOVING brawlers eternally. I would give anything for a revival of the Nightmare Creatures IP!

I love this game so much

I LOVED this game on 64 back in the day

Our taste in video games is identical. Hell yes Matt!

D-d-d-d-dookie?

I had this on PS1 as a kid, and absolutely sucked at it. I'd just use cheat codes so I could see the monsters. I just had no skill whatsoever. I'd love to see a full playthrough of this. Do what I couldn't. Live my dream for me.

I had this game back in the day but totally forgot what it was called. Thanks!!

A diamond in the ruff...classic👌 Part 2 was okay🤔

If there was a staff in Bloodborne... Wait, is Bloodborne Nightmare Creatures 3? The name sure fits

Kid: I want Bloodborne. Mom: We have Bloodborne at home. (Bloodborne at home: Nightmare Creatures)

They justify the blue meter as your adrenalin

I also played this on N64 in like 98 or 99 or something? Ended up getting a used copy from the local rental store. Loved it!

"Yeaa,get fucked" on replay.Fire 🔥🔥🔥

I remember having a demo of this on the family pc like 20 something years ago. Ran at like 15 fps and I honestly thought that was the normal speed until a few years ago when I saw it running on a ps1 :D

One of my first playstation games I still have it too!

You should make another video for halloween where you use the cheats to be the monsters
