MediEvil |OT| About Dan Time!
- Thread starter DriftingSpirit
- Start date
I called to work from home today. Was ready to start playing but they put me in a meeting... and here I am listening to these people talk where I have no input to give while watching my PS4 home screen. -_-
Darnit. I know that feeling when you're in a meeting for what feels like no reason. Let us know what you think when you start playing that sweet Medievil!
I'm playing!
Man this game is good! better than I remembered, I'm so happy. I just beat the glass demon at the mauseleum, my favourite level so far.
Cementery Hill was a bit frustrating climbing those Donkey Kong hills but it got over quick.
I'm playing with the helmet on btw.
The music is delicious.
Also, the camera seems to be a bit better than the demo, just a bit.
I saw the quick look on Giant bomb and this game looks quite bad, I don't have any nostalgia for the original, and this didn't do anything for me
I really hope to see a MediEvil 2 remake soon! Also a MediEvil 3– Sony needs to bring back more of these cartoony mascots to keep Astro Bot company!
Just beat the first boss and this game is just a joy to play. It's just like I remember it playing it back in the day.
Looking forward to getting to the areas I never reached before.

Great to hear! Glad you're enjoying it.
How hard is it with the helmet? I think I might save that for a 2nd playthrough.
Also glad the camera seems a bit better. I'm hoping they also fixed the way Dan's skull spins around when he's reading books, etc.
I hope you all got the helmet for Sir Dan :D
I hope MediEvil 2 is next. All MediEvil fans need to buy this remake asap ;)
"In the PS4 remake of MediEvil, equipping the helmet doubles the damage output of all enemies, serving as a kind of hard mode. The helmet can only be obtained in the MediEvil Short-Lived Demo by picking it up near Dan's resting place and downloading it from the PlayStation Store. "

Thanks! Looks like I'll try a second playthrough then!
Got my copy posted today. Something that's never happened before - not only did I get the standard case with the game, but a free steelbook was thrown in too. Thanks The Game Collection!
It's challenging but I just lost to the Ant Queen and now I have to repeat the entire level in which I start with 48hp...
I consider this lvl finished so I'll take the helmet off to complete it now lol
Edit: Aaand she's done. I dominated the level without the helmet but it might have to do with the fact that I knew most of it because of my first try.

Just bought the game and yes the steelbook is awesome. Can't wait to start playing. This game is one of my most beloved PS1 games and the OST is just phenomenal.
Might get a bit emotional while playing I guess. Dem memories.

The game is so good, I honestly enjoy it way way more than Spyro and especially Crash. The level design and the overall aesthetics feel more interesting to me. The music is several steps above.

Bless ya, Angie 🙏🏾
About those dogs......🚶🏾♂️
ahh man, totally jealous of that steelbook. Doesn't look like USA got one. Can't wait to dive in after work!
Do I have a hindsight bias, or did the final release/patch 1.01 make game perform better? The demo levels seemed to work more solid for me.
So I'm a bit stuck on a boss
The Ant Queen. I know the gimmick, so I know to wait until she's standing up and range attack her glowy bits. But once I get her down to a certain health, the amount of ants and the falling rocks do me in. Plus I always end up targeting the smaller ants which loses me time when she's upright. Any tips?
Haven't gotten to that part yet, but in the original I just kill the small ants as soon as they pop out and then concentrate on her. If the number of ants and falling rocks increases as her health goes down, than that's a feature they added to make her more difficult.
I got there (without helmet) with full health pots, I mostly just tanked the damage and stood close to her dealing damage with the crossbow. When she shielded herself I used the charged hammer to kill ants but as soon as she was vulnerable I just focused on her and tanked the ants damage.
I feel the same way every time I play a game from that era. They're much harder than games today.
Picked it up yesterday. Got to the
, and oof, I'd forgotten how hard that fight can be. I'll have to return after getting some more life bottles and better weapons.

Gonna chime in and say that I absolutely hate this remake and I played the original to 100%. The camera is a little annoying and outdated but what I can't forgive is that the changed the music. The original soundtrack appropriately invoked a little Danny Elfman and was fine just the way it was. I also noticed some serious framerate issues on scarecrow fields
Most songs sound the same and have the same melody, but with others they took some artistic license adding vocals/chanting or entirely new segments. I listen to these tracks regularly in my music library and I was just disappointed is all. It's nitpicking and it's my personal peeve so take it as you will. I guess I was just hoping for just higher quality instruments and sample quality.
Hard disagreement about the music. The remastered tracks are composed with a live orchestra by the same guys who did the music in the original, and it sounds fantastic. It's easily one of my favorite parts of the game. The only issue I have is that there's no option to turn off the dynamic music.

Just beat the second boss. It is pretty okay for the time being. I came in with the right expectations, so I'm enjoying it more than not.
You can hide in the small cave next to her when the falling rocks appear. You take very little, even no damage.
You have to find all the Lost Souls. Now that you beat the game, replay the levels. You'll see a colored wisp floating around. Talk to it. It will say a riddle about a location in another level. Go to that spot and some prompt will appear. "Use" the soul that told the riddle.
Rinse, repeat. 🏆.

Finished the game! it was sweet! got everything so I have it ready to collect the souls next time. I'll see if I start right away or play Call of Duty to take a rest.
I loved it, so many phenomenal levels!

Anyone else having issues installing patch 1.01? Only way I can start the game is disabling the internet so that the patch doesn't start downloading...
Ok, is anyone else experiencing an audio bug when using the enchanted broad sword? Every time I use the power attack, it seems to loop the static charging sound indefinitely until the sword's enchantment ends. Since the broad sword is an all-but-essential weapon for a large part of the game, it is unbelievable to have the audio glitching out like this.
