Illbleed appreciation thread

[Anonymous No.2755858]

One of my personal favorites for the Dreamcast, both on account of it being one of my first horror survival games and its distinction as a horror comedy survival.

While the game press wasn't too kind to Illbleed on account of its shoddy mechanics and awkward gameplay, the game's camp redeem its critical flaws: the dark atmosphere, identifiable characters, gritty aesthete, zany humor, subtle references to horror films, tone and plot. Even the bad voice acting is charming in its own right.

>HURRRRRRRR DEVIL INSIDE DURRRRRRRRR

I don't give a shit whether Illbleed "plagiarizes" this obscure PC game or not. I didn't care for it then, and I'm going to start caring for it now

I Loved illbleed.

It was among my favorite DC games.

-Fire Pro Wrestling D
-Shenmue 1 & 2
-some shmups like Ikaruga, Shikigami no Shiro 2
-Illbleed

etc.

Man, I fucking miss not having a DC anymore.

[Anonymous No.2755862]

>>2755861
speaking of which.

Are there any good emulators that can run illbleed pretty well?

[Anonymous No.2755867]

>>2755858
wait, how does this have anything in common with Devil Inside? The core gameplay element of Illbleed is the Horror Monitor for finding traps, the core element of Devil Inside is a fucking third person shooter.

>>2755867
An annoying namefag constantly claimed Illbleed ripped off that game.

[Anonymous No.2755890]

>>2755870
what part? the weird slasher plot where Jason Voorhees owns a motel and his kid plays baseball? the murderer who owns a bullshit department store? The overlong Toy story parody with a Sanic boss fight? the ghosts of a million dead people haunting a rubber suit to murder people while someone else also pretends to be the ghost to murder people?

Here's his post (complete with misspellings):
>Illbleed was released at the end of april 2001.
>The Devil Inside, a game sharing the same concept, was released at the end of october 2000, that is 6 months before.
>http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/devil-inside
>lIlbleed totally ripped off The Devil Inside but nowadays all that is remembered is Illbleed.
>The reasons? Illbleed was Japanese and was made for consoles.
>That gives you an example of how 'gamers' are biaised and tend to consider 'underrated classics' games that are only on consoles and even more so if they were made by Japs.
>The Devil Inside also got much better score from both reviewers and players.
>Illbleed is not an underappreciated gem, it is a shameless ripoff of a game that got praised by critics 6 months earlier while making it much worse.

[Anonymous No.2755905]

>>2755895
but that doesn't explain anything at all! How is it anything like "the same concept?"

I'm ANGRY

[Anonymous No.2755945]

Yeah, he's annoying.

Anyway, I love the brickshittingly tense music from the first level when Banbollow chases you around the hallways:

I remember some autist saying that on several threads but I don't remember him being a namefag.

Regardless, he's full of shit. It doesn't matter, Illbleed is a ton of fun.

Bought illbleed dirt cheap shortly after DCs demise. I thought is was kooky and fun but the tank controls killed it for me. Could never get passed the first boss. Wish I wouldn't of sold it because I am generally interested in trying to play again.

[Anonymous No.2756615]

>>2755858
I first learnt about Illbleed when I watched SuperGreatFriend play it on his youtube channel and I loved it, definitely a game I will have to get when I get a Dreamcast.

>horror third person game taking place in a Reality TV show

Yeah, and Crash Team Racing wasn't inspired by Super Mario Kart either.

[Anonymous No.2756681]

>>2756665
but Illbleed DOESN'T take place in a reality TV show. It's a theme park with haunted house attractions. No one is broadcasting anything.

[Anonymous No.2756691]

Both are fun.
Devil Inside is more action though.

[Anonymous No.2756815]

>>2756665
Look everyone! It's the annoying namefag mentioned earlier.

Let's all point at him and laugh.

[Anonymous No.2756821]

Was going to buy this until I saw the horrifying prices. Does it emulate well enough?

[Anonymous No.2756831]

>>2756574
I got two copies dirt cheap from Gamestop in 2005 and 2006, one of which came with the manual for $3.00

At the time, they were giving away DC titles.

[Anonymous No.2756938]

>>2756665
Nice quads fail faggot.

Was there some kind of secret to knowing which objects you should hit with the Horror Monitor?

[Anonymous No.2757015]

One quick question.

Michel or Eriko?

Michel. She reminds me of a gamer goth girl I had a massive crush on in high school.

[Anonymous No.2757214]

>>2757015
Eriko because Lani Minella has a voice like audible sex and she needs to be in more games.

The only recent one I heard her in was Rochard.

[Anonymous No.2757278]

>>2756938
General guess considering the object.
Also, if the sensor was glowing or not.

[Anonymous No.2757434]

>>2755858
Wasn't The Devil Inside was the one where it was reality show with the camera man and the player could turn into a demon girl? what does that have to do with illbleed?

[Anonymous No.2758337]

Some Illbleed fanart from a Yahoo group I was a member of eons ago.

No one else has preserved it, so I took it upon myself.

After all, a game with such a unique spirit doesn't deserve to die in obscurity.

[Anonymous No.2758834]

>>2758429
Thanks for posting these, there's not enough Illbleed fanart, much less of Michel.

>giving DC games away
Yeah pretty much. Even tho I had a DC since '99 my collection wasn't large at all until after Sega went under. Around then I was also collecting for the Saturn. Glad I was able to pick up a majority of those games b4 prices went full retarded.
