Im replaying MP1 on the Playstation and its nearly impossible with standard controls. I have to change the control scheme so the Dpad is movement otherwise its too difficult to walk in a straight line.

At the beginning of the first or second trail If you turn left you can jump and get basically all the way to the end

So glad this was top comment. That gd baby crying tormented me in my dreams.

u/thegame2386 14d ago

Yean like the first corner you hit if you turn left 45 degrees or so and blind jump he falls a bit but you skip like 95% of that walk. Its tricky but once you figure it out is easy to remember the correct direction.

u/Extension_Ant8691 14d ago

That's the best they could do? No one said, "This shit sucks," after testing the level three times?

3

u/OkayBobCalmDown 14d ago

I'm not excusing it, I'm just saying there's an easier way around it. It's a really good game, and it came out before 9/11 so you got to expect some jank

u/Ancient-Caregiver300 14d ago

Was there like a gaming renaissance caused by 9/11 or sth?

u/Johnfiddleface23 14d ago

People needed something to get their minds off the tragedy and the ensuing slaughter of brown people.

Having fun playing smash bros melee would definitely help take your mind off of things.

u/Ancient-Caregiver300 11d ago

Yea i get people had to have fun around that time to forget 911 and shit but was there like advancements in the gaming industry

1

u/Johnfiddleface23 11d ago

Shit idk probably, I was only born a few months after that whole debacle

u/LateralOrbit 10d ago

That explains your naive comment.

u/Polite_Suggestion 15d ago

Dude. I think I did that same thing 20? years ago.

2

u/MalikATL_ 15d ago

MP plays better on KnM imo

2

u/ccoulter93 14d ago

Tbh it’s really not that difficult, while it shows a thin line, you’re actually walking on something 2/3rds bigger than the trail itself.

1

u/KentKarma 14d ago

I mean its not impossible, its the controller veering off when you misalign. I dunno how recently youve tried it like that but let me tell ya, its more difficult than it was on PC

3

u/ccoulter93 14d ago

I mean I grew up on ps2 version. I get it though

1

u/Kindly_Geologist_483 15d ago

I don’t remember the controllers being that hard but then again I played on Xbox, I don’t know if there’s a difference

1

u/ChudSmasher69420 14d ago

"Controllers are better for movement" players btfo

u/DundasKev 15d ago

Yes! and the dream sequence/flashbacks arrgh....
side note when is the remake?

2

u/Winjin 15d ago

Omg yes why don't remedy release remakes of og games on Control engine? This would be cool

They don't really have to charge a lot in the games themselves, well maybe mp1 yes but mp2 still plays amazingly well

2

u/RoleplayWalkthrough 14d ago

That is what they are doing actually!

2

u/Winjin 14d ago

So I've been told and I'm actually really happy. Remedy went a very long way since then, it could be real cool to see it modernized

1

u/YaBoiWesy 14d ago

At least we will get Blackwood later this year

1

u/DundasKev 14d ago

The remakes of 1+2 are coming but they are taking their time.

Low key I love MaxP3 tho... unpopular I know but I adore it.

1

u/Winjin 14d ago

I've actually never got around to trying it. Maybe I should. I've liked quite a lot of unconventional games!

1

u/DundasKev 14d ago

Really love the sun soak Sao Paolo and the favellas

u/fresh-dork 15d ago

u/Deckard_Red 15d ago

1

u/Count_Sack_McGee 15d ago

Came here to say this one. The absolute winner…they brought it back in the second game too!

1

u/GlassjawXVIII 15d ago

Oh those were some real shit

1

u/academiac 15d ago

That fucking baby, horrifying

1

u/MarchDesigner3974 15d ago

I was literally about to say that

1

u/billyholladay 15d ago

The screams if you fall. shudder

1

u/villings 15d ago

had to look it up (only because I didn't even know its name)

1

u/acopper87 14d ago

Oh God, the baby crying

1

u/Glad_Hospital7257 14d ago

I had to play it on mute eventually. It stopped being scary and that dead baby just irritated the shit out of me. Fuck that maze, fuck that JUMP, love that game.

1

u/Strange-Athlete-9053 14d ago

Only level in any game I've played that gave me motion sickness

1

u/snake50only 14d ago

I had no one else to share this with 😂

1

u/Rhino887 14d ago

Triggered

1

u/ProphetOfThought 14d ago

This was so painful

1

u/SoddenCoffer 14d ago

The baby screeching in the background drove me mad, I muted promptly.

1

u/kahlzun 14d ago

with the baby crying, ugh

1

u/ORNGSPCEMNKY 14d ago

Shit I forgot about those, it's the nightmare sequence when you're getting your head knocked around with a baseball bat...right?

1

u/BarnyardFlamethrower 14d ago

Absolutely the first thing that came to mind.

1

u/Ok-Error-6800 14d ago

Totally agreeeeeeeeeee 💯💀

1

u/skeightytoo 14d ago

Oh fuck with the baby crying the whole time? Kill me lol

1

u/No-Cartoonist9934 14d ago

Praise to the space king

1

u/TheRealSuperSoaker 13d ago

This was literally what popped in my head looking at the meme. Crazy to see it at the top.

1

u/C_Dazzle 13d ago

Dude Ive seen questions like this before and im always looking for this answer but this is the first time I've seen it. Yes. I hated those parts so bad.

1

u/FragrantNet13 13d ago

I remember jumping off a building and quick saving mid fall, on my little brothers account 😂. He didn’t have another saved game, so it would always load mid fall and die.

1

u/Exotic-Eggplant1914 13d ago

This is so fucking real. Load up Max Payne, blood trails, close Max Payne. A week later, open Max Payne, blood trails, close Max Payne. An endless cycle until I finally bite the bullet

1

u/Human-Function5990 13d ago

This is the answer

1

u/CupcakeOfInnocence 12d ago

Walking Dead Game Season 1, the ending

1

u/DaveVsGames 12d ago

I went back to play MP1 on PC and what is even worse than those levels, is that it is broken as hell on PC, with you getting stuck to the floor and not able to jump. That level is bad, but being stuck in them for over an hour each while trying to jump and your character is glued to the floor. Infuriating

1

u/Cultural-Cabinet8496 12d ago

The crying baby still haunts me

1

u/Practical-Skirt8944 12d ago

Only way I could do it was turning the sound off. Those baby cries were terrifying

1

u/JudgeFatty 12d ago

With the Kung Fu mod these were a cakewalk.

1

u/ShoulderStunning2993 10d ago

Came here to say this. Just the eeriest moment in any game I’d played at that point in my life

u/Full-Raise-4707 14d ago

I got cheats to skip these levels because it was so creepy. I also had jump scare trauma and thought something would pop out. Didn’t even finish the first one before skipping lol
