The first one is pretty good. I always liked the double jump having a moronicly strong hitbox on the flames. The dequel is a straight downgrade, though.
That wasn't the last stage, but it was pretty close.
I haven’t played Vectorman in a long while but I remember it being pretty cool but certainly flawed. The action was really fun but some sections were frustrating and the visual design was a bit messy to understand even if it certainly looked fantastic. Haven’t thought about it in a bit so I’m kinda feeling like replaying it to see if it’s really like I remember.
the games are alright
but hands down THE most insanely overrated OSTs on the genesis
they sound so fricking bad for 1995-1996 next to their contemporaries, some might as well be in morse code with how basic they are
Why does it seem like some Genesis games aren't regarded as all time classics when they should be? This game I feel like is one of them. Its more underrated then properly treated like a classic. You'll hear all about Sonic, SOR, Bloodlines, etc, but you won't hear people mention this one much despite it being a quality game.
Vectorman was a very late release. People were already playing PS1 games at that point. Or DKC2 on SNES which was a part of already established series. Nobody had a clue what Vectorman was except ghetto kids.
That is such a shame. It saddens me I was one of few kids it seems that didn't mind going back occasionally to older games and consoles despite also having new ones to play. I just simply enjoyed gaming and could appreciate a wide variety of games. Yet it seems like most kids were not this way at all.
It was known at the time and Sega heavily marketed it.

Toshinden was a launch title. Tekken and Jumping Flash came shortly after.
PS1 was only a month old. People didn't just their old systems when PS1 launched. That it got a sequel should clue you zoomers in on it being a successful late title. But being modern /vr/ cross referencing dates is too hard when you're moronic.
It felt like playing a tech demo where the real protagonist hadn't been implemented yet. It's obviously a much better game than Rise of the Robots but it has the same problem. You don't really connect with anything because it's just high quality but otherwise generic graphics. It's the video game equivalent of those 1980s CGI demos. It's got good graphics and plays well but it feels...dare I say...soulless.
Only the sequel feels soulless. Outside the intro cutscene with Vec dancing, the overall presentation is worse, plus the level variety takes a hit with all the shitty tank levels. The first one definitely has soul.
I never got past the first level as a kid. Not that it was very hard or confusing, just that it felt like a boring clusterfrick so I never bothered
Yea, it's pretty bad if you play it today.
Balls/10
rented it once back in the day. cool game but iirc the final stage was a boss rush that filtered me.

>I always liked the double jump having a moronicly strong hitbox on the flames
killing enemies with your double jump is awesome
Played both games a long time ago and had fun with it, I like the music.
The first game is good. I don't really enjoy the second.
The second looked like a bootleg chink game where they replaced sprites for the playable character
Vectorman is what you call a "boyetic" character, those days are long gone, today he'd have anime eyes and be pink
>today he'd have anime eyes and be pink
No, I think he'd be like in that one cancelled threequel, Master Chief-ish spacemarine douchebag. His enemies could've been anime girl bots though.
Yeah, much more fitting.

I just bought it and launched it, the game shows you a soul from the start like you run and shoot around SEGA logo. Also this crystal-clear music
0/10 but if there's something you like about it feel free to share
If you say so

>tfw you press pause and the music still plays while you go make a sandwich.
Better than Gunstar Heroes, or really any run 'n gun.
>Better than Gunstar Heroes
Definitely that game is overrated.
Wasn't really feeling it, but I could recognize it was pretty good. Soundtrack was b***hin'
He's alright. Would be cool to see a modern take on the franchise or really just to see it in 3D.
they would just ruin it nowadays
One of the best genesis games. It's fun as hell just to control vectorman
I also like the sequel, even though it's not as good

What games did the ps1 have in 1995 besides ridge racer and twisted metal?
Toshinden was a launch title. Tekken and Jumping Flash came shortly after.
Doom

Could be enjoyable if both games didn't have excessive flashing. It gets really bad in the sequel.
First game is great
Second sorta had a thing going, but then it gets too bland

Fun 8/10 gamer for me. The arranged OST that Jon Holland made in 20 days is excellent.
