Me too tbh. I had nobody to talk about this back in the day. My dad was super old school s d didn’t like computers until his job forced him too. I played this in early middle school but didn’t get a computer until later high school. By the time I learned how to internet I didn’t bother looking for other fans.
The V8 games are among my favorite of all time. I've had V8 and 2nd Offense for PS1 since I was a kid. I thought they would be games lost to time, but it's so cool to see someone make videos about these hidden gems. Great video my man. 👍
You could NOT hide from Slick Clyde's lightning! Even if you hid inside the barns of Valley Farms or under the resorts in Casino City. The lightning would just strike right through hit you anyway while destroying whatever structure you were hiding in!
Something i remember is that you can use the momentum from your car to make the “big wave” special hit harder. This can do huuuge damage. You can get good at launching the “steel belter” right into people. It has decent damage. This with the damage of the truck ram damage and durability make him solid. Imo the bees and aliens are the worst because they are too slow and the steel lighting is the best because you can use it to force others to drop their specials (alien laser excluded) You can ram people with the “gridlock” and fire it right into them to land every star. If they stall, unload the whole special into them.
VIGILANTE 8, even 26 years after release, its still a hidden MASTERPIECE. I equally prefer both Vigilante 8 and Twisted Metal due to how legendary both series are.
I grew up playing this game and Slick Clyde is the reason the Ford Bronco is my favorite vehicle lol. Also on an unrelated note, This guy sounds almost exactly like the voice actor Crispin Freeman.
Actually, there's another difference between the Invasion and Super Invasion: The Super Invasion actually spawns above the RV and travels towards the enemy, which if they are too far away, the special will end up being wasted The original Invasion however spawns above the targeted enemy, meaning the enemy is nowhere safe
Awww. My favorite is at the bottom? When my mom rented this game for me when I was a kid, John Torque was the first character I played with, and then I used his special. Just him yelling 'Bass Quake' and seeing the ground deform while the enemy cars just shot into space blew away my tiny child brain.
I love this game so much It brings tears in my eyes when the times, you won't worried anything, just a simple kid and played with your friends and cousins is priceless, remember those days when we played that in rainy weather, I miss so much my guys hope just be a kid again,. I loved classic playstation 1 and also my counsin, I loved this game so much, thanks for the memories until next time we all met and play again, 19's 20's kids I love you all my brother so much!!
Boogie in the Leprechaun with the Disco Inferno! Thank you for the memory...beats me trying to dig the game out from all the stuff infront of the TV and hooking it up!
My favorite was always the guy in the van who summoned aliens. The special was so fun. Surprised to see the bee keeper special ranked that low. I always thought it was pretty good because it held the opponent in place letting you unload everything on them.
As a kid Beezwax was my favorite, after getting V8 back Clyde easily became my main. I thoroughly enjoy these videos you make, hard to find content on V8.
I will put the Gamma Swarm in a better position than Loki Scatter MIssiles, because at least can conect with the enemies and does damage. Also i will put "'70 Stag Pickup" in a better postion than Loki, because Loki car is a joke in armour points.
That feeling when you're at the dam playing as Y and you ram underneath the enemy car causing then to skyrocket. Instadeath mayhem. Although everything I used the Luxo Saucer I mostly ram everything and the laser is secondary. Also, I'd love to see this being played professionally. This must make a comeback!
I remember getting hit by convoy and if you hit the car right, you can go off the grid. There is a spot in the ufo grid where you can find your opponent off the grid. They have the same flaw In Rogue Trip.
Most likely not, Im fairly satisfied with this tier list outside of a few minor changes. The only reason I re did the 2O one is due to my viewpoints being changed by the community.
excelente un nuevo video, new video de vigilante 1, estoy desde las 4 de la madrugada, pero puedo esperar si tuve que esperar desde el año pasado que hicieras un top de los autos de vigilante 8 sesión 1, que es otras 24 hras mas y aunque no se ingles y no se entiende ni madr#$&...s unos saludos The Real Down Under desde por aca por pluton
With All the Vigilantes being so low tier compared to most of the Coyotes, with the exception of Slick Clyde. It is no wonder why he wanted to lead them. He practically carried the whole team!. lol
I would like to see a tier list from the perspective of competitive multiplayer as opposed to a tier list from the perspective of a speedrunner one of these days. I imagine not many would change places but the physics effects would be less detrimental. Effects like Bass Quake which has more defensive utility than offensive would probably move a few places up.
I mean that is basically what happened with my 3.0 tierlist for 2nd offense. Can't really do one for the first game as it doesn't really have any multiplayer on the level of 2nd offense's online mod
by the way, dave's special spawns right above the enemy, i noticed dave cultsmen super invasion spawns above themselves, pretty much, so it's probably pretty bad if used at a longer range, they waste their duration flying their way to the enemy. it might work differently in certain versions of the game, but i'm not sure. Also, probably not worth mentioning regardless if used before or not, the special helps with bear hug, especially with super invasion in 2nd offense. Dave's got the real super invasion really, possibly more accurate as well as they don't scatter much in the first, it seemed to me. Also jefferson, and stag pickup probably go faster in reverse for some reason, but van goes really fast in reverse, i'm not sure if it rivals the rattler or manta, but I felt like that was the case.
If you wanted to know what happened to Clyde, (If you never seen this game or read the story, then be prepared for MASSIVE spoilers ahead.) Seriously stop scrolling down if you don't want to see the biggest plot twist. Are you this determined just to see the story? Okay fine you can read the story Bloody wanker. He picked up a ring and I have no idea what the origins are for that.
All I got to say is that if you can't somehow wreck major ass with beeswax then you're playing the game wrong lol. Because you're supposed to pile on combo damage with that special making it easier for you to land whammies. In fact, he's the easiest to do it with.
@@wallaceshawn-zk8iw Highly destructible levels...good level design. Unpredictability in game play and a good variety of weapons...not too many not too few....weapons have secondary function too... . Light hearted violence...umm sound effects are great...fast paced and has a couple of modes....can chose how many of what enemies you want to face. ..dynamic gravity...unlockable character...multi-player is a hoot...you can set off stage weapons like the flood in the orange grove level.
@@wallaceshawn-zk8iw I may just play emulation. Haven't sold game yet. Its sealed so I can't play it anyway. I prefer the first game over the 2nd. I have a bootleg copy of the 2nd game.

@@ColdEmperori also still remembered this masterpiece of Vigilante 8 ever since 2004.
Many do, its just like a game people dont bring out to talk about as often
It brings a tear to my eye to know this game still have a community
Damn how I miss this series, I'll never lose hope it will come back someday
Classic game, although I hate how some "pro reviewers" questioned if the game was ever good cuz how V8 Arcade turned out...
Clydesdale 1970 in Vigilante 8 looks far better than 2020s Sedans and Off road cars ironically.
@@Guerren there is a unity port you can play online with other people

“I may be half human but I’m.. All.. Woman” a phrase that was just released from the deepest depths of my mind.
That line is a reference from RoboCop, "I may be half human,
But I'm all cop."
I thought I might I make that situation A bit worse than it might be.
Classic quote
Boogie's weapon is Stier, it's so powerful they gave him like the worst car to balance it xD
You forgot a space in S and tier.
Yeah Boogies special & the fact he has a small car saved him...
You could NOT hide from Slick Clyde's lightning! Even if you hid inside the barns of Valley Farms or under the resorts in Casino City. The lightning would just strike right through hit you anyway while destroying whatever structure you were hiding in!
Slick Clyde is so busted it isn't even funny

Slick on the Ski Resort was my first playthrough way back in 1998. I think my 9 year old brain melted lol.
Sid burn and his 1984 Manta should've been S tier btw.
Nice to see a new Vigilante 8 video in this days
I love to see someone plays Vigilante 8 with so much effort, Because is my favorite game (the 2nd Offense)
2nd Offense is the one I grew up on so it's my favourite as well.
@@TheRealDownUnder mine too!
@@SuperRaynetVigilante 8 still the KING even in 2024 and way more enjoyable than all games from 2020s.
Beewax was my mind when I was a kid 12 years ago.
He holds a special place in my heart
He's considered w 1 of the most memorable characters.
😂😂Beezwax he is pain in my ass hole
Actually, there's another difference between the Invasion and Super Invasion:
The Super Invasion actually spawns above the RV and travels towards the enemy, which if they are too far away, the special will end up being wasted

It's decent offensively too.

Binging your V8 videos, they just keep getting better ✌️😎
Keep up the good work!
The alien is also broken because if you drive into the outer map that pushes you out, he is the only character that can push through the invis walls
I thought Houston's death ray removed items off vehicles?
Yes it does take off power ups

Boogie in the Leprechaun with the Disco Inferno! Thank you for the memory...beats me trying to dig the game out from all the stuff infront of the TV and hooking it up!
When I was a kid I thought that the bee guys hive was built into his belly. As an adult I now see that he is holding a bee hive.
My favorite was always the guy in the van who summoned aliens. The special was so fun.
Surprised to see the bee keeper special ranked that low. I always thought it was pretty good because it held the opponent in place letting you unload everything on them.
You don’t know how badly I want this game to be remade on ps4/ps5
I was searching this game, and literally put "car battle royales ps1" and i found this masterpiece
man this is game is my childhood !! i was wondering is someone going to a make video about it, great stuff keep em coming !
To me, it seems that the last one on your list with the UFO would be the equivalent of Minion from Twisted Metal 2.
Neither the Luxo Saucer or Minion can beat the absolute bullshit of Sweettooth's special from Twisted Metal 4... like wow it plays the game for you
As a kid Beezwax was my favorite, after getting V8 back Clyde easily became my main.
I thoroughly enjoy these videos you make, hard to find content on V8.
Hence why I make content for it, there's very little else out there.
im 14 and this is my first game ever played i LOVED this game havent played it in forever
Molo Bus was so fun
i use to play this like 8 years old
Slick clyde is overpowered in this game
So is Molo lol.
first game with terrain terraforming
you can just bury your enemy to the ground if you keep firing missiles on him
and the bassquake special
Proves the power of the PlayStation.
I wonder if one for V8 Arcade will be made...
I do have a 360 but getting a capture card for it would require effort so I'm unsure what I'll do for Arcade.
@@TheRealDownUnder then again we're dealing with
THE SAME CARS FROM THE ORIGINAL GAME.
Just let that sink in.
Best in the series...☠️
I noticed that on the second offense Convoy truck the side mirrors of it it doesn't show when you're in the battlefield. for the 64 verson
I will put the Gamma Swarm in a better position than Loki Scatter MIssiles, because at least can conect with the enemies and does damage.
Also i will put "'70 Stag Pickup" in a better postion than Loki, because Loki car is a joke in armour points.

"Wheel Helper!"
"Steel Gopher!"
I need to know what remix you used for that intro because omfg that’s so good
Its Boogies theme lmao
Nice list, really stokes some nostalgia
Any chance this one will get a re-visit with an approach akin to 2nd Offense's 3.0?

Bass quake can target multiple enemies at once. Its OP in Arcade mode on smaller maps
Such a tragic story for Y The Alien, from space ship to trash truck
1 detail. Clyde from V8 is the main bad guy of V8 2nd offense. Never expected a demolition game to have a consistent story.
Also the fact that Houston is a Vigilante in 2nd Offense.
@@TheRealDownUnder and they turned the badass Sheila into a weird childish wannabe agent :(
College does wild things to people.

Man I wish they would have just kept John torque's special the same in second offense. His new weapon is nice, but I really miss the bass quake.
Wheel of Fortune kicks ass, the only cool thing about Bass Quake is the fact it warps the ground and is a good defensive tool.
You accent was so confusing being Aussie as in one sentence then American in the next 😂

Thanks Google ads for showing me this channel.❤️
I'm a Loki main in this game, and Dave is very broken when you ram into other players and then ult.
The reason I'm a Loki main is because he's smaller than Shelia and his special can counter the alien.
