Depends what you want. I agree for a great story. Like an actually meaningful story with stakes. But Red Dead Revolver has cartoon characters and bosses around every corner. Everyone is so memorable! Both are absolutely PS2 classics and it's not like we have a million cowboy games to pick from, especially back then.
Why has this never been remastered, or remade? Gun is a license to print money and yet it never was brought to modern consoles. I bought it when it first came out on PS2 and man it was epic! My only gripe was you unlocked the best stuff at the end of the game and there was nothing left for me to do and back then new game plus didn't exist. They could do some much with an amazing remake but doubtful that will ever happen unfortunately. Great video! Thanks for covering this old gem. I will never forget how special this was when there was nothing like it at that time.
Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! I'm not sure why they've never remastered or remade or even just re-released the game on more modern platforms. Activision these days seems laser focused on Call of Duty, but who knows what'll happen now that they're owned by Microsoft.
Because already back then numerous people bitched and complained about the game, mostly because of the realistic way the indians were portrayed (not as the 'noble savages', revisionist history wants to see them), the game was a bit of a PR Nightmare for Activision due to the Association for American Indian Development calling for a boycott. In the woketarded clownworld of today, there's no way in hell that this game would ever be remastered and if it was remade it would be "made for modern audiences" and lose pretty much everything until it's cleaned, woke product like RDR2. Characters like "Reverend" Josiah Reed would simply not be allowed today.
I was mid watching this video and i was like, "oh this game looks cool, lemme look it up on steam" and this dude's review is the top review on the steam page. Blew my mind
I always remember Gun when I try to think back to "the first Red Dead game." And I've played both of them. But Gun definitely feels more like the first "GTA with a horse" title.
thank you for making this video. I remember playing this game back on 8th grade in 2006. my parents are divorced and I only play PS2 on the weekend. my dad came by to my mom's place and he went into my room. He bought me GUN, and GUN was the first game he ever bought for me. I lost my dad due to lung cancer last march, and seeing this video sure brings back memories of him. thank you
I love the PC version of GUN, never had any consoles. I was surprised by the extra missions. I think Kragen is meant to be wearing a Ned Kelly-like welded armor. He was an australian bushranger outlaw active in the 1870s.
PC version is a totally valid way to play, they ported the OG Xbox (I think anyway) over to PC and never brought over the 360 enhancements. I looked up Ned Kelly and I think you're right! Super badass. Dude had bullet proof armor 150 years ago!
@@splintergectornathan9045 AFAIK, it's just in the visuals. Higher resolution textures, higher shadow quality, etc. The PC version is crisper because of its resolution, but visually its flat. I found a video that compares the graphics head-to-head, take a look: ruclips.net/video/5qjJHdvTdgM/видео.html
Good to see this underrated gem get some love. I still have my 360 copy and haven’t played it in years. May have to fire it up again soon. Great video!
Times have changed so much for me. I played this back in 2007 on the Gamecube for the first time on Insane and just struggled through it but never got frustrated or angry, and then I did it again a couple years later on the 360, again on Insane. I don't think I have even a quarter of that patience anymore, but I'd love to revisit it on Normal again sometime soon.
Not going to scroll the comments, but did you know that there’s something special by the dilapidated house mid map? The house in question is the one Colton is given away from as a baby during the cutscene with the confederates. It’s in an alcove with a mine near by. The mine contains TNT barrels. Pick one up and set it down by the chimney of said house but not too close to the chimney. Set it down and move clear of the blast. Shoot the barrel and it will reveal a pit full of all amo in the game, including handheld and health. Had this game on PS2 and I loved it.
Gun on the psp was the first western game I ever owned for myself, I did play Red Dead revolver at the time too on the Xbox but it was actually owned by my father in which I can only play for about 2 hours or 3. Damn, Gun was such a great game and my word the story and soundtrack was top tier. Alot of people think Red Dead Redemption started the western open world but Gun was the one that actually started it and most of the critical feature in Red Dead was first introduced in Gun. I wish it was backward compatibility on the Xbox so I could play it again. This game definitely deserve a remake or atleast a remaster.
I played Gun for the first time at my grandpa’s house. It belonged to my cousin, and my brother and I spent the coming weeks begging my mom for a copy. She finally got it for us and we played late into the night many nights in a row. What an absolute classic of a game.
I was playing this years ago on PC when the parents came to town for a visit. I was showing them this just before the Saloon scene where it gets rather bloody. My mom was somewhat appalled. I always appreciated the 'open world' feel even though it really wasn't. I also enjoyed the fact it didn't lose the plot with a million side objectives to pad the time or justify an over large map which is common today.
Awesome video, its nice to see this hidden gem discussed more. Gun is an amazing game, it might not have all the fancy details that most modern open world games have nowadays but what is there in Gun was still incredable for the time, gun fights were fun and getting headshots would blow a chunk of their skull off(if it was from a distance or your revolvers)
Thanks! I'm glad this video hit your recommendeds, it's an awesome game. A bit barebones by modern standards like you said but an awesome early example of an open world action game.
I remember GameInformer had an issue which featured GUN on the cover and had a big write up about the upcoming western video game. When I first saw it, I was super stoked because I thought it was a sequel to Red Dead Revolver. When I realized it was its own game, I was, needless to say, very intrigued. I ended up getting the Xbox 360 version of it a little after the game launched and I absolutely LOVED it. I beat it multiple times, same as Red Dead Revolver. In the early days of the 360, GUN, Gears of War, Dead or Alive 4 and that 2006 ‘The Godfather’ game were basically all I played for several years. I wish they would remaster GUN, or at the very least, upscale the PC version to match (and succeed) its Xbox 360 counterpart. They made the 360 version the most detailed because they wanted to show off the system’s capabilities. The PC version looks like the PS2 version, just much smoother.
Regarding the 360 version, that seemed pretty common back then! NFS Most Wanted is another example of a game that has a PC version, but it's just the PS2 version instead of 360 ported over. I enjoy the PC version of this game, but it's just missing so many graphics effects that the consoles had. Super smooth, but I still prefer to play on 360.
I remember seeing footage for this on an old Xbox Demo Disk back in the day, and it blew my mind. Never really thought of this game until this video, might pick it up!
The voice acting in this game was a solid decade ahead of its time. You can actually find the making of the game video on RUclips and it shows footage of Brad Dourif and Lance Henriksen going absolutely nuts in the voice booth screaming at each other.
It wasn't ahead of its time, it pretty much was a product of its time. That was when developers were throwing money left and right at actors to be in their video games after Rockstar popularized that with GTA Vice City. This was just around the time, Saints Row debuted (with actors like Michael Clark Duncan, Daniel Dae Kim, Keith David, Tia Carrere, Michael Rapaport) and True Crime: Streets of LA (Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Michael Madsen, Mako, James Hong etc.) came out, just two examples. If anything, a decade later that fad was over as not even GTA 5 featured any prominent names and even nowadays most games just hire the same 10 voice actors (like Troy Baker, Jennifer Hale, Nolan North or Laura Bailey) every game features and the few who do hire actual actors, hire washed up has beens who obviously don't care anymore (like Crime Boss: Rockay City, especially the abysmal performance of Chuck Norris)
@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw I have to disagree, yes all of the people you mentioned were in videogames, and they did good jobs, but those games were few and far between, and for the most part, actors didn't take the medium seriously yet. That's why both Tobey Maguire and Hugh Jackman sucked in all of their games. Game developers also didn't care about character development in videogames at the time, which is why Michael Ironside kept turning down Splinter cell. He said there was initially no character, and they just wanted him to voice a shell of a human. It's also funny that you mention Rockstar because they infamously had a horrid time with Liotta and with the exception of Samuel L Jackson swore off celebs all together. To this day, that is why they don't use famous people. Rockstar has stated this themselves. It has nothing to do with trends, they don't want the hassle. Gun was made at a time where you could still have piss poor sounding dialogue in the game, and no one would complain because for the most part it was still the norm at that time. I don't think Videogames or actors truly took voice acting and motion capture seriously until Kevin Spacey did Call of Duty. That showed celebrities that games were to be taken seriously. Gun was ahead of its time because they actors involved understood it was more than a videogame, and what they were involved in was long form story telling.
@@kalkella8822 It's not the hassle, T2, rockstar's owner is a incredibly greedy company, they simply don't want to spend the money anymore. That's the sole reason. You're also wrong about actors not taking video games serious. Even in the 90's you had some good celebrity voice over work (Prime example being Star Trek 25th Anniversary, Star Trek Judgment Rites and Star Trek TNG: A Final Unity) just like some took the FMV stuff serious (Wing Commander 3-5, Frankenstein with Tim Curry as examples) Don't know why you got such a hard on for Gun, that you put it on a pedestal where it doesn't belong. But whatever floats your boat i guess.
@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw You are missing the argument. It wasn't yet an industry standard. Yes, there were games here and there with good voice work, you're right. It wasn't the norm until the 2010's. Actors as a whole did not take it seriously. You are also incorrect about Rockstar. I suggest you look it up. It's about Ray Liotta. There are entire documentaries on this subject. It may have changed since all the OG's at rockstar have left, but that was only a few years ago. Util the mid 2000's voice work on most games was the equivalent of an early Resident Evil game. That was still the standard when Gun came out. If you came into a voice booth now and gave an early 2000's voice performance, they would fire you.
For consoles the 360 & PS3 generation really got into cinematic games. But the game that blended movie & game for me started in the 90s. With FMV of all things. Wing Commander 3 on PC had Mark Hamill, John Rhys Davies, Malcom McDowell. It felt like a movie. It was limited by the tech of the time, but that's why I am so excited for Squadron 42. Amazing gameplay, AAA graphics/tech, & way more star power.
I've always heard good things about this game, but I've never played it. I've seen cinematics but no gameplay. What kind of game is it? Wing Commander i mean.
Awesome vid! I was thinkinbg of Gun the other day.. Red Dead Revolver and this made me fall in love with Old Western games. I always loved Western movies (Tombstone is my GOAT) as I live in the Mnts of NC where cowboys and ranching is quite common. And when I rented this from Blockbuster for my 360 it was truly the beginning for me on my Digital Outlaw-Cowboy Journey! Soon after I found RDR and then 1 of my favorite games of all times Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in 2018 which I still play regularly.
My parents bought me this gem on the ps2 way back when I remember beating a dozen times I remember being mind blown with the world I thought it was huge a couple years back i was able to get the XBOX 360 version from gamestop for 9.99 and had a blast playing this video makes me wanna go back and get all the achievements great video btw love to see someone taking about this game it was my childhood
The PSP version reminds me of Tony Hawk Underground 2 Remix on PSP because its the same as the console port but with downgraded graphics and extra exclusive content. The PSP ports of Activisions console games are always very interesting.
Gun's my favorite western game. I beat it on the PS2, as a kid, and later got it for the 360. Lacking a cover mechanic, and auto-aim aren't a cons for me. I prefer this style of combat.
There's another difference you didn't mention in the PSP version. In the main version, you could take any horse you saw and when your horse died, you would search for another. In the PSP Version your horse has a Health bar. When it runs out, you can't ride your horse and you have to wait some time until it replenishes. I think they did that because of the PSP's limitations, I think not having to spawn the rideable horses saved a little on the game processing.
I miss playing this game and I heard rumors that they were working on a sequel but it was cancelled at some point which is sad because it had an interesting title, “Gun Macgruder’s Ghost”. Sounds interesting and my favorite part of the game is getting Ned’s Ferguson rifle and sending Reverend Reed to Hell.
I love getting Macgruder's gun at the end of the game, it's insanely OP. Makes any other task you might wanna complete a breeze. I believe its Tony Hawk's Proving Ground that has a poster for MacGruder's Ghost, but not 100% sure.
Gun was so damn good my dad sat down and watched me play through the whole thing on the 360. Still love westerns to the point i wish America would fall so we can get back to it
I grew up loving this game in my childhood, my dad and I played it a lot, same with me and my childhood friend. It's one of the cases where I got a real soft spot for western themes, and I still love this game on PC or whatever other platform I can enjoy it still on. One day when my dad was at a pawn shop, I spotted the PSP UMD for GUN: Showdown and I was INSTANTLY hopeful, especially because GUN almost had a sequel that is hinted at with posters in Tony Hawk's: Proving Grounds. So, I was kinda hopeful it was outright a sequel, or prequel maybe... But, I was just as pleasantly surprised to find the full game on PSP and fully working. I now have a Vita, and it makes playing ALL shooters for the PSP so much better, it isn't even funny. The button shortcuts you can do with PSP games on the Vita can do so much to make it less awkward with the d-pad inputs, and it also allows you to assign the extra joystick to stuff like the face buttons... Resulting in a better-feeling way of aiming and moving around if you ask me. It is an EASY upgrade for GUN: Showdown, and it's worth playing this way, especially as the Vita can still do ad-hoc PSP gaming with other PSP systems! 👏🏻👍🏻 I gotta admit... In retrospect, I am impressed Neversoft went from mainly just Tony Hawk games, to pulling off GUN in 2005. I just am sad they aren't around anymore thanks to Activision resigning them to the Call of Duty machine... 😢 You definitely earned a subscriber man, and I hope we can be friends! God bless you all! 🙂✝️🤝🏻
It's great to hear your story! Thanks for sharing. And I didn't know that about the Vita! I knew it was backwards compatible, but that's a game changer for sure. Now to just get my hands on one... 🤔
That reminds me of SplitSecond. It also had a PsP release that differed from the ps3&360 edition. And I also felt like "am I dreaming? Why is no one talking about the glaring difference between versions?" The psp was a strange handheld😂
Right?! From now on, I'll be talking about weird handheld versions of games too. It may take a bit of extra work but I'm up for the challenge, it's worth documenting.
@NoMooreMercyTV yeah. Split/second had an extra track for example. It was a mix of two others. Ok but the console version had a dlc track that wasn't available on psp. You can start by making a video about NFS Most wanted difference to between the Console version and the Gameboy Version🤣 yes there was a GBA Version of NFS MW
@@SuperKale2000 Wasn't the GBA game by the same studio also? Like, if I remember right they got it almost compltely on the cart from the original game - obviously with some differences and changes because GBA lol but if I remember it was a really impressive port. I think Game Sack talked about it in one of his "pushing hardware limits" episodes in fact.
I remember enjoying the first hour more than the rest. When it seemed like the routine was going to be hunting for animals and defending against bandits.
@@bizzlier Whewwww that is a hot take lmao. But I've heard that people don't really like the gameplay of RDR, they don't like just running into cover and snapping onto heads. Whereas they like the rest of the game more, like it's world and characters. I'm sort of in that boat, I like GUN's gameplay a bit more but RDR's world and characters I find more interesting.
I loved this game back in the day it was great for its time. I started playing Mario Bros and Duck Hunt on NES as a kid so by the time I was a young adult this game was mind blowing how cool it was and how great storylines were getting in games. Fun fact/opinion on Red Dead Revolver, I think Red Harlow is a myth. A campfire tale. Some mythical hero that cowboys tell the story of. Proof: the game starts as a story being told by a drunk sheriff, the main character fights against flying goblins and killer clowns, in Red Dead Redemption 1&2 the only time you hear the story of Red Harlow is when visiting a strangers campfire at night. Some may feel the same and some may think he was a real character in a real video game universe and both is okay lol but it’s fun to have fan theories.
Yeah around the same time I was a kid playing GTA on PS2 I got this game and likened it to a western GTA... only to find Rockstar's ACTUAL western game was NOTHING like the open world of GUN... then RDR comes out and it's like this but amped up... so it's wild how a non-Rockstar game was more akin to Red Dead Redemption than Red Dead Revolver was.
My childhood Videogame. I loved This game so Much. had Alot Of Sentimental Value too For me. My Grandpa Used To Watch me play this game all the time before he passed away and we had so much enjoyment with the game. My top 5 game all time no doubt
Same! My grandpa would watch me play this, Red Dead Revolver and a few other non-westerns like DRIV3R & GTA. Really good times, it instantly takes me back to their Baltimore rowhouse, sitting on the floor on their ugly blue carpet in front of a tiny lil grey CRT in the middle room. Him behind me on a fluffy blue couch with tan wallpaper and my grandma's knick knacks everywhere. Idk, it was just so cozy. RIP to our grandpas.
GUN is still one of my favorite games of all time! It’s so nostalgic and to me such a good open world game ahead of its time especially with western styles in the early 2000s. I love RDR/RDR2 but GUN should be up there with the series and should be remastered!
I love this game. There's two things I'd change, first is your horse. It should be YOUR horse, not just a horse. I tried to keep the same horses for as long as I could, I got attached to them, as a lone gunslinger. The second is I wish I could ride off into the sunset. Having invisible walls really breaks the illusion. I liked just wandering around the world, like in Shadow of the Colossus.
I got the ps2 version. Can't wait to open it for Christmas. I love red dead redemption 1 and 2. And i love old Western movies and shows. Like Gun smoke and the Rifle man.
I have owned and beaten this game on literally every platform for which it was released, inluding the atrocious PSP port. PC is the best by far. Fantastic video! Where were you when you first heard "Whore's gettin' a beatin'"???
Omg I played king Kong recently. Only barely remember it on release and it is by far the best movie game I've played. Not just a good movie game but a legitimately good game in general imo
It's pretty cool how they managed to put the game on the psp like that! It's not like it's cut down either like a bunch of other ports from that era. Like yeah, fidelity wise and all it is, but all of the content is there and they even added some!
About the psp exclusive content. If I remember it was cut content from the main game. There is a very early prototype build of gun on the GameCube dated around April 2004 which mentions and includes the psp exclusive missions as apart of the main game.
Sadly this game doesn't really have any dedicated community of modders like a lot of classic games. Even for xenia emulators not a single person tried to fix the bugs and glitches to make it more playable.
I bought this one on PS2, pretty much day one. I loved it. I remember my dad watching me play it, and enjoying it, laughing at some of the more over the top gameplay (mostly the bridge scene comes to mind).
I remember talking to my friend who lived across the street from me when this game was slated to come out (not out yet). We were sold because we'd heard a rumor somehere that you could scalp people, then sell said scalps to the Indians (Natives, whatever).... Needless to say, we were a tad bummed when that wasn't the case, especially because we had rushed to buy the scalping knife and try it out. We both still feel like this was a huge opportunity missed.
Like, yeah, I'm sure some Native groups would get upset over that, but those groups already got upset with GUN, so yeah. B.T.W I'm a decent percentage native American, and I don't find any of that offensive. I find it historically accurate. History, and the things people have done throughout history, are not always pretty, and it's a goddamn M rated game.
Like, yeah, I'm sure native Groups would get upset over that. But those same groups already were upset with GUN. So yeah B.T.W I'm a good portion Native American, and I find nothing in GUN offensive. Nor would I have been offended if you could've sold scalps to natives. People need to stop getting upset over historical accuracy in M rated games....
Scalping in this game is entirely pointless instead, it's a shame. That had to be a last minute design change. No way it's there in the game for nothing.
The psp version was the one i played first, i had a ps2 at the time (2012), but playing in handheld mode in high school was a decent trade-off. I really love the game and eventually played the PS2 version, the PC version and the PSP version for the last time 2 years ago. The extra mission didn't bother me but at the same time i barely remember them, they are not very memorable. I really understand why bothers you, tho. Last year i was trying the PSP version of warrior within, but I left it unfinished because the new content felt really bad and unpolished, and was mandatory to complete the game. Something similar happens to AC2, the DLC nowadays is mandatory to complete the game, and is located right in the middle of the climax, so it feels pretty bad to almost finish the game and out of nowhere go to fight a random bad guy that has nothing to do with the story. English is not my first language, so sorry if something is misspelled.
First off, your English is fantastic. Second, I had no idea warrior within was different on psp! Man, the psp had a bunch of different games with exclusive content huh? From this video onward, I'm going to be covering the handheld versions of games as well as the main console one. I just think each of these games brings something unique to the table. Thanks for watching and happy Thanksgiving ❤️
@NoMooreMercyTV def (we had ps2s so idk if they work on anything else) , so the big city think it's the last one you unlock you can get onto the roofs, if u jump from one roof to one you just barely make it to(like its not intended but just a jump)...every npc just freezes in place... ughhh let me sit on it for a bit and I'll send you some more as I think of them... haven't thought about this in 20 years lol
@NoMooreMercyTV oh yeah that thing u hated pony express... if u max ur horse, u can get to full speed and launch yourself through doors that are locked for story reasons ... and just anywhere and every u could get out of bounds with that horse I remember something with a gold vein too ... like u could lay down next to it and just fall through
Is this the game where you can kill your horse by riding it too hard or am I imaging that? If you haven't already you should check out Call of Juarez Gunslinger next!
I remember using a sharpie to make a tiny dot on my tv screen dead center so i knew exactly where my bullets where going to hit because the aiming box was pretty terrible, the rifles not so much but the pistol box was way to wide, id be running around getting perfect headshots, then i seen the aim dot on read dead much later in life and chuckled at myself knowing i was on the right track 😂
@NoMooreMercyTV It's been a really long time since I played this game but I remember a boss fight within a cave that I was stuck at for days... Maybe that's the one you meant?
Idk if I'd call them minigames, probably just poker. I do wish there were more of them, though, like blackjack or roulette or something. But I'm just nitpicking
As always, thank you so much for watching. Without you, this whole thing would not be possible. ❤️
Tedious is 'unskipable' cut scenes like the Arkham series death trolling. :P
GUN was better than Red Dead Revolver. I will die on this hill.
After playing both again, yeah, I agree. But Red Dead Revolver is the better multiplayer game, it's like they actually tried.
Depends what you want. I agree for a great story. Like an actually meaningful story with stakes. But Red Dead Revolver has cartoon characters and bosses around every corner. Everyone is so memorable! Both are absolutely PS2 classics and it's not like we have a million cowboy games to pick from, especially back then.
revolver sure, not redemption though.
Relax.
Red dead revolver sure. Nor redemption.
Noo you didn't mention Kris Kristofferson! He passed away not that long ago too, for those who don't know, he voices Ned in the game.
The cast is just so stacked, RIP to Kris Kristofferson.
The game had a pretty big cast:
Thomas Jane
Dave Wittenberg
Lance Henriksen
Kris Kristofferson
and Ron Perlman
just to name a few.

I always remember Gun when I try to think back to "the first Red Dead game." And I've played both of them. But Gun definitely feels more like the first "GTA with a horse" title.
Absolutely. Red Dead Revolver only kinda feels like Redemption in Brimstone, and the dead eye mechanic. Thats it.

Gun on the psp was the first western game I ever owned for myself, I did play Red Dead revolver at the time too on the Xbox but it was actually owned by my father in which I can only play for about 2 hours or 3. Damn, Gun was such a great game and my word the story and soundtrack was top tier. Alot of people think Red Dead Redemption started the western open world but Gun was the one that actually started it and most of the critical feature in Red Dead was first introduced in Gun. I wish it was backward compatibility on the Xbox so I could play it again. This game definitely deserve a remake or atleast a remaster.
I played Gun for the first time at my grandpa’s house. It belonged to my cousin, and my brother and I spent the coming weeks begging my mom for a copy. She finally got it for us and we played late into the night many nights in a row. What an absolute classic of a game.
Awesome video, glad this hit my recommended feed. I really loved Gun when it first came out, but few people seem to remember it. Thanks!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It sold a lot of copies back then but yeah, I barely knew anyone who played it. It's such a gem!
I was playing this years ago on PC when the parents came to town for a visit. I was showing them this just before the Saloon scene where it gets rather bloody. My mom was somewhat appalled. I always appreciated the 'open world' feel even though it really wasn't. I also enjoyed the fact it didn't lose the plot with a million side objectives to pad the time or justify an over large map which is common today.
Suuuuper common today, drives me crazy.
Awesome video, its nice to see this hidden gem discussed more. Gun is an amazing game, it might not have all the fancy details that most modern open world games have nowadays but what is there in Gun was still incredable for the time, gun fights were fun and getting headshots would blow a chunk of their skull off(if it was from a distance or your revolvers)
Thanks! I'm glad this video hit your recommendeds, it's an awesome game. A bit barebones by modern standards like you said but an awesome early example of an open world action game.
I respect that you keep you grandpa's memories through gaming I love western like this and rdr one and 2 they have great storiy lines
He wasn't a gamer, but he loved the stories!
I remember GameInformer had an issue which featured GUN on the cover and had a big write up about the upcoming western video game. When I first saw it, I was super stoked because I thought it was a sequel to Red Dead Revolver. When I realized it was its own game, I was, needless to say, very intrigued. I ended up getting the Xbox 360 version of it a little after the game launched and I absolutely LOVED it. I beat it multiple times, same as Red Dead Revolver. In the early days of the 360, GUN, Gears of War, Dead or Alive 4 and that 2006 ‘The Godfather’ game were basically all I played for several years. I wish they would remaster GUN, or at the very least, upscale the PC version to match (and succeed) its Xbox 360 counterpart. They made the 360 version the most detailed because they wanted to show off the system’s capabilities. The PC version looks like the PS2 version, just much smoother.
Regarding the 360 version, that seemed pretty common back then! NFS Most Wanted is another example of a game that has a PC version, but it's just the PS2 version instead of 360 ported over. I enjoy the PC version of this game, but it's just missing so many graphics effects that the consoles had. Super smooth, but I still prefer to play on 360.
I remember seeing footage for this on an old Xbox Demo Disk back in the day, and it blew my mind. Never really thought of this game until this video, might pick it up!
You absolutely should!!! It's awesome.
The voice acting in this game was a solid decade ahead of its time. You can actually find the making of the game video on RUclips and it shows footage of Brad Dourif and Lance Henriksen going absolutely nuts in the voice booth screaming at each other.
It's so so so good.
It wasn't ahead of its time, it pretty much was a product of its time. That was when developers were throwing money left and right at actors to be in their video games after Rockstar popularized that with GTA Vice City. This was just around the time, Saints Row debuted (with actors like Michael Clark Duncan, Daniel Dae Kim, Keith David, Tia Carrere, Michael Rapaport) and True Crime: Streets of LA (Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Michael Madsen, Mako, James Hong etc.) came out, just two examples. If anything, a decade later that fad was over as not even GTA 5 featured any prominent names and even nowadays most games just hire the same 10 voice actors (like Troy Baker, Jennifer Hale, Nolan North or Laura Bailey) every game features and the few who do hire actual actors, hire washed up has beens who obviously don't care anymore (like Crime Boss: Rockay City, especially the abysmal performance of Chuck Norris)
@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw I have to disagree, yes all of the people you mentioned were in videogames, and they did good jobs, but those games were few and far between, and for the most part, actors didn't take the medium seriously yet. That's why both Tobey Maguire and Hugh Jackman sucked in all of their games. Game developers also didn't care about character development in videogames at the time, which is why Michael Ironside kept turning down Splinter cell. He said there was initially no character, and they just wanted him to voice a shell of a human.
It's also funny that you mention Rockstar because they infamously had a horrid time with Liotta and with the exception of Samuel L Jackson swore off celebs all together. To this day, that is why they don't use famous people. Rockstar has stated this themselves. It has nothing to do with trends, they don't want the hassle. Gun was made at a time where you could still have piss poor sounding dialogue in the game, and no one would complain because for the most part it was still the norm at that time. I don't think Videogames or actors truly took voice acting and motion capture seriously until Kevin Spacey did Call of Duty. That showed celebrities that games were to be taken seriously. Gun was ahead of its time because they actors involved understood it was more than a videogame, and what they were involved in was long form story telling.
@@kalkella8822 It's not the hassle, T2, rockstar's owner is a incredibly greedy company, they simply don't want to spend the money anymore. That's the sole reason.
You're also wrong about actors not taking video games serious. Even in the 90's you had some good celebrity voice over work (Prime example being Star Trek 25th Anniversary, Star Trek Judgment Rites and Star Trek TNG: A Final Unity) just like some took the FMV stuff serious (Wing Commander 3-5, Frankenstein with Tim Curry as examples)
Don't know why you got such a hard on for Gun, that you put it on a pedestal where it doesn't belong. But whatever floats your boat i guess.
@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw You are missing the argument. It wasn't yet an industry standard. Yes, there were games here and there with good voice work, you're right. It wasn't the norm until the 2010's. Actors as a whole did not take it seriously. You are also incorrect about Rockstar. I suggest you look it up. It's about Ray Liotta. There are entire documentaries on this subject. It may have changed since all the OG's at rockstar have left, but that was only a few years ago. Util the mid 2000's voice work on most games was the equivalent of an early Resident Evil game. That was still the standard when Gun came out. If you came into a voice booth now and gave an early 2000's voice performance, they would fire you.
Man, this game was the shits back then, everyone with a modded ps2 played in Brazil
I'd love to hear more about this!
For consoles the 360 & PS3 generation really got into cinematic games. But the game that blended movie & game for me started in the 90s. With FMV of all things. Wing Commander 3 on PC had Mark Hamill, John Rhys Davies, Malcom McDowell. It felt like a movie. It was limited by the tech of the time, but that's why I am so excited for Squadron 42. Amazing gameplay, AAA graphics/tech, & way more star power.
I've always heard good things about this game, but I've never played it. I've seen cinematics but no gameplay. What kind of game is it? Wing Commander i mean.
Awesome vid! I was thinkinbg of Gun the other day.. Red Dead Revolver and this made me fall in love with Old Western games. I always loved Western movies (Tombstone is my GOAT) as I live in the Mnts of NC where cowboys and ranching is quite common. And when I rented this from Blockbuster for my 360 it was truly the beginning for me on my Digital Outlaw-Cowboy Journey! Soon after I found RDR and then 1 of my favorite games of all times Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in 2018 which I still play regularly.
ayyy Tombstone is a good pick! Mine is either Unforgiven or The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
@@NoMooreMercyTV Great picks! Unforgiven is in my top 5! I love certain spaghetti westerns TGB&U is amazing!
@@NoMooreMercyTV But at the end of the day Tombstone is my Huckleberry!!
@dakotarock6422 anything by Sergio Leone I'm all over!
@@NoMooreMercyTV BANG BANG Baby!
I really loved Gun on PS2.
It's a great game!
Both this and Mafia 1 were games that my dad torrented back in the day when I was a kid and they just blew my mind.
Mafia rules, played that on ps2 as well the first time.
@@NoMooreMercyTV I always associate both games together thanks to how I got them.
Both top tier kino games.
@@peepsbates what'd you think of the mafia remake?
My parents bought me this gem on the ps2 way back when I remember beating a dozen times I remember being mind blown with the world I thought it was huge a couple years back i was able to get the XBOX 360 version from gamestop for 9.99 and had a blast playing this video makes me wanna go back and get all the achievements great video btw love to see someone taking about this game it was my childhood
You're welcome! You should go buy it, I got my copy for like ten bucks. Funny enough the PSP version cost the most and I played it the least lol.
Happy Thxgiving. We're thankful for u, Mercy. Have a great day.
Thank you so much! I hope you had a great day with your family. ❤️
The PSP version reminds me of Tony Hawk Underground 2 Remix on PSP because its the same as the console port but with downgraded graphics and extra exclusive content. The PSP ports of Activisions console games are always very interesting.
Interesting! I gotta check this out, thug2 rules. Never played the psp version.
For some reason this feels fitting for thanksgiving
😅
Gun's my favorite western game. I beat it on the PS2, as a kid, and later got it for the 360.
Lacking a cover mechanic, and auto-aim aren't a cons for me. I prefer this style of combat.
YESSS I've been waiting for this!!!
What'd you think?!
The menu soundtrack definitely reminds me of Mafia, that exact vybe you get from Empire Bay/Lost Heaven.
Great call out!
There's another difference you didn't mention in the PSP version. In the main version, you could take any horse you saw and when your horse died, you would search for another. In the PSP Version your horse has a Health bar. When it runs out, you can't ride your horse and you have to wait some time until it replenishes. I think they did that because of the PSP's limitations, I think not having to spawn the rideable horses saved a little on the game processing.
Good call out! Your horse has a name in the PSP version too, "Rogue."
I miss playing this game and I heard rumors that they were working on a sequel but it was cancelled at some point which is sad because it had an interesting title, “Gun Macgruder’s Ghost”. Sounds interesting and my favorite part of the game is getting Ned’s Ferguson rifle and sending Reverend Reed to Hell.
I love getting Macgruder's gun at the end of the game, it's insanely OP. Makes any other task you might wanna complete a breeze. I believe its Tony Hawk's Proving Ground that has a poster for MacGruder's Ghost, but not 100% sure.
Gun was so damn good my dad sat down and watched me play through the whole thing on the 360. Still love westerns to the point i wish America would fall so we can get back to it
I grew up loving this game in my childhood, my dad and I played it a lot, same with me and my childhood friend. It's one of the cases where I got a real soft spot for western themes, and I still love this game on PC or whatever other platform I can enjoy it still on.
One day when my dad was at a pawn shop, I spotted the PSP UMD for GUN: Showdown and I was INSTANTLY hopeful, especially because GUN almost had a sequel that is hinted at with posters in Tony Hawk's: Proving Grounds. So, I was kinda hopeful it was outright a sequel, or prequel maybe... But, I was just as pleasantly surprised to find the full game on PSP and fully working.
I now have a Vita, and it makes playing ALL shooters for the PSP so much better, it isn't even funny. The button shortcuts you can do with PSP games on the Vita can do so much to make it less awkward with the d-pad inputs, and it also allows you to assign the extra joystick to stuff like the face buttons... Resulting in a better-feeling way of aiming and moving around if you ask me. It is an EASY upgrade for GUN: Showdown, and it's worth playing this way, especially as the Vita can still do ad-hoc PSP gaming with other PSP systems! 👏🏻👍🏻
I gotta admit... In retrospect, I am impressed Neversoft went from mainly just Tony Hawk games, to pulling off GUN in 2005. I just am sad they aren't around anymore thanks to Activision resigning them to the Call of Duty machine... 😢
You definitely earned a subscriber man, and I hope we can be friends! God bless you all! 🙂✝️🤝🏻
It's great to hear your story! Thanks for sharing. And I didn't know that about the Vita! I knew it was backwards compatible, but that's a game changer for sure. Now to just get my hands on one... 🤔
That reminds me of SplitSecond. It also had a PsP release that differed from the ps3&360 edition. And I also felt like "am I dreaming? Why is no one talking about the glaring difference between versions?"
The psp was a strange handheld😂
Right?! From now on, I'll be talking about weird handheld versions of games too. It may take a bit of extra work but I'm up for the challenge, it's worth documenting.
@NoMooreMercyTV yeah. Split/second had an extra track for example. It was a mix of two others. Ok but the console version had a dlc track that wasn't available on psp.
You can start by making a video about NFS Most wanted difference to between the Console version and the Gameboy Version🤣 yes there was a GBA Version of NFS MW
@@SuperKale2000 omg really??? I gotta check this out sometime.
@@SuperKale2000 Wasn't the GBA game by the same studio also? Like, if I remember right they got it almost compltely on the cart from the original game - obviously with some differences and changes because GBA lol but if I remember it was a really impressive port. I think Game Sack talked about it in one of his "pushing hardware limits" episodes in fact.
I remember enjoying the first hour more than the rest. When it seemed like the routine was going to be hunting for animals and defending against bandits.
I actually played this game back of March this year on 360! It was really fun!
Yeah?! What'd you think of the story?
@ Amazing story! I hope one day this game gets a remaster of some sort! Hot take but I like this game better than Red Dead Redemption! 😳
@@bizzlier Whewwww that is a hot take lmao. But I've heard that people don't really like the gameplay of RDR, they don't like just running into cover and snapping onto heads. Whereas they like the rest of the game more, like it's world and characters. I'm sort of in that boat, I like GUN's gameplay a bit more but RDR's world and characters I find more interesting.
I like how the game is just called GUN in all caps. Utterly brilliant.
I loved this game back in the day it was great for its time. I started playing Mario Bros and Duck Hunt on NES as a kid so by the time I was a young adult this game was mind blowing how cool it was and how great storylines were getting in games. Fun fact/opinion on Red Dead Revolver, I think Red Harlow is a myth. A campfire tale. Some mythical hero that cowboys tell the story of. Proof: the game starts as a story being told by a drunk sheriff, the main character fights against flying goblins and killer clowns, in Red Dead Redemption 1&2 the only time you hear the story of Red Harlow is when visiting a strangers campfire at night. Some may feel the same and some may think he was a real character in a real video game universe and both is okay lol but it’s fun to have fan theories.
Fun fact: if you stuck an explosive arrow in an enemy's foot, they would go flying
I liked Gun but the impression red Red Dead Revolver left on me stayed with me
They're both excellent games in their own way!
5:05 I love how the running water sounds like you left your faucet on.
HA. I wonder if it's a stock sound effect they had access to.
@NoMooreMercyTV Most likely.
Yeah around the same time I was a kid playing GTA on PS2 I got this game and likened it to a western GTA... only to find Rockstar's ACTUAL western game was NOTHING like the open world of GUN... then RDR comes out and it's like this but amped up... so it's wild how a non-Rockstar game was more akin to Red Dead Redemption than Red Dead Revolver was.
It is kind of odd isn't it? Neversoft nailed the formula before Rockstar did, pretty cool!
My childhood Videogame. I loved This game so Much. had Alot Of Sentimental Value too For me. My Grandpa Used To Watch me play this game all the time before he passed away and we had so much enjoyment with the game.
My top 5 game all time no doubt
Same! My grandpa would watch me play this, Red Dead Revolver and a few other non-westerns like DRIV3R & GTA. Really good times, it instantly takes me back to their Baltimore rowhouse, sitting on the floor on their ugly blue carpet in front of a tiny lil grey CRT in the middle room. Him behind me on a fluffy blue couch with tan wallpaper and my grandma's knick knacks everywhere. Idk, it was just so cozy. RIP to our grandpas.
GUN is still one of my favorite games of all time! It’s so nostalgic and to me such a good open world game ahead of its time especially with western styles in the early 2000s. I love RDR/RDR2 but GUN should be up there with the series and should be remastered!
It was my childhood game and I feel like It definitely deserved a Part 2 of the game. Best cowboy game ever
GUN to me is a better Red Dead game than Revolver is! But Revolver is good too in its own way.
Honestly for what it is, the PSP port sounds hella impressive
It's super neat for what it is!
I love this game. There's two things I'd change, first is your horse. It should be YOUR horse, not just a horse. I tried to keep the same horses for as long as I could, I got attached to them, as a lone gunslinger. The second is I wish I could ride off into the sunset. Having invisible walls really breaks the illusion. I liked just wandering around the world, like in Shadow of the Colossus.
Shadow of the colossus is a beautiful game, I agree
I got the ps2 version. Can't wait to open it for Christmas. I love red dead redemption 1 and 2. And i love old Western movies and shows. Like Gun smoke and the Rifle man.
I saw this at gamestop. The cover.
Was super interesting. I had never seen it before I had to buy it. I love it. I hope to be remastered one day
I hope it gets remastered too! It deserves it.
I remember being blown away when the NPC's knew what weapon I was using or if I was about to chuck some dynamite at them.
I didn't mention it but you can shoot guns out of guys hands! Pretty cool
I was seriously talking about this game the other day with my friends in red dead. We old and been playing games together for years lol
I've had the same gaming group since high school, I know how you feel!
I gotta pick this up one of these days
Yes you do! It's pretty cheap as far as I know.
I have owned and beaten this game on literally every platform for which it was released, inluding the atrocious PSP port. PC is the best by far. Fantastic video! Where were you when you first heard "Whore's gettin' a beatin'"???
GUN has a lot in common with Peter Jackson's King Kong
I'd love to know more! I haven't played this.
Omg I played king Kong recently. Only barely remember it on release and it is by far the best movie game I've played. Not just a good movie game but a legitimately good game in general imo
King Kong is still a fantastic game today which is very rare for a movie game
@@gbreadburnsu306 What's the best platform to play it on? I'd love to make a video on this someday! I loved the movie back in the day.
@@LinksQuestResearch What's the best platform to play it on? I'd love to make a video on this someday! I loved the movie back in the day.
The PSP game was nice to play GUN on the go. I loved it when I was younger.
It's pretty cool how they managed to put the game on the psp like that! It's not like it's cut down either like a bunch of other ports from that era. Like yeah, fidelity wise and all it is, but all of the content is there and they even added some!
One of the best games ive played period.
Top 25 for me for sure. I've played a lot of games 😅
I loved this game Cole White was an awesome character so many memories lol
Total badass!
This what got me interested when they came out with red dead
7:19 you literally described RDR word for word
Ha! That was not intentional 😂
This along side red dead revolver were great games of my childhood. I perfected gun slightly.
How do you perfect something slightly? Explain!
I love this game, i make 100% of him, its just perfect.
About the psp exclusive content. If I remember it was cut content from the main game. There is a very early prototype build of gun on the GameCube dated around April 2004 which mentions and includes the psp exclusive missions as apart of the main game.
I WISH someone took the 360 files and had them converted for PC since PC got the OG xbox stuff
I agree! 360 is the best version and it's stuck there.
Sadly this game doesn't really have any dedicated community of modders like a lot of classic games. Even for xenia emulators not a single person tried to fix the bugs and glitches to make it more playable.
Played tf out this game. I still own it. Beat literally everything to do in this game. Discovered alll the secrets. Still wanna play it
You ever play the PSP version? There's new stuff in there for you to enjoy! If you can tolerate everything else lol.
This game is an absolute masterpiece it needs remade from the ground up n introduced into modern society such a great game!!!
I 100% agree!!! It's such a classic.
I would love an hd remaster of Gun.
I'd buy it day one.
I had this on GameCube and still have it for original Xbox it's an amazing game
An absolute classic
I bought this one on PS2, pretty much day one. I loved it. I remember my dad watching me play it, and enjoying it, laughing at some of the more over the top gameplay (mostly the bridge scene comes to mind).
The one where you're fighting off the apaches? So ridiculous lol.
13:06 My man out here triggering my ptsd with that game over song, lmao
LMAO. Trust me I heard it sooooo many times making this video.
I remember talking to my friend who lived across the street from me when this game was slated to come out (not out yet). We were sold because we'd heard a rumor somehere that you could scalp people, then sell said scalps to the Indians (Natives, whatever).... Needless to say, we were a tad bummed when that wasn't the case, especially because we had rushed to buy the scalping knife and try it out. We both still feel like this was a huge opportunity missed.
Like, yeah, I'm sure some Native groups would get upset over that, but those groups already got upset with GUN, so yeah.
B.T.W I'm a decent percentage native American, and I don't find any of that offensive. I find it historically accurate. History, and the things people have done throughout history, are not always pretty, and it's a goddamn M rated game.
Like, yeah, I'm sure native Groups would get upset over that. But those same groups already were upset with GUN. So yeah
B.T.W I'm a good portion Native American, and I find nothing in GUN offensive. Nor would I have been offended if you could've sold scalps to natives.
People need to stop getting upset over historical accuracy in M rated games....
Scalping in this game is entirely pointless instead, it's a shame. That had to be a last minute design change. No way it's there in the game for nothing.
Bruv I was liuterally working on a retrospective of this game on my other channel... You beat me to it lmao
Snooze ya lose! Nahh fr post it anyway I'd love to check it out.
There's been other retrospectives for this game.
Also came from red dead revolver…. Brought me to red dead redemption and also to rdr2
I played them both around the same time, great games!
I thought that game was so realistic when I was little
lmao same. It was just so cinematic, it looked like a movie.
Never played this game but after watching it I'll also have to give it a try.
Let me know what you think!
The psp version was the one i played first, i had a ps2 at the time (2012), but playing in handheld mode in high school was a decent trade-off. I really love the game and eventually played the PS2 version, the PC version and the PSP version for the last time 2 years ago. The extra mission didn't bother me but at the same time i barely remember them, they are not very memorable. I really understand why bothers you, tho. Last year i was trying the PSP version of warrior within, but I left it unfinished because the new content felt really bad and unpolished, and was mandatory to complete the game. Something similar happens to AC2, the DLC nowadays is mandatory to complete the game, and is located right in the middle of the climax, so it feels pretty bad to almost finish the game and out of nowhere go to fight a random bad guy that has nothing to do with the story. English is not my first language, so sorry if something is misspelled.
First off, your English is fantastic. Second, I had no idea warrior within was different on psp! Man, the psp had a bunch of different games with exclusive content huh? From this video onward, I'm going to be covering the handheld versions of games as well as the main console one. I just think each of these games brings something unique to the table. Thanks for watching and happy Thanksgiving ❤️
This was the first game I ever completed 100%
I loved this game. Was definitely a gem.
Still holds up too!
About time you got here, Jones is about to SHIT himself

@NoMooreMercyTV def (we had ps2s so idk if they work on anything else) , so the big city think it's the last one you unlock you can get onto the roofs, if u jump from one roof to one you just barely make it to(like its not intended but just a jump)...every npc just freezes in place... ughhh let me sit on it for a bit and I'll send you some more as I think of them... haven't thought about this in 20 years lol
@NoMooreMercyTV oh yeah that thing u hated pony express... if u max ur horse, u can get to full speed and launch yourself through doors that are locked for story reasons ... and just anywhere and every u could get out of bounds with that horse
I remember something with a gold vein too ... like u could lay down next to it and just fall through
Gun was what kicked off my enjoyment of westerns
Definitely one of my earliest memories, for sure.
Great game. Red Dead Redemption b4 Red Dead Redemption. Totally deserved a sequel and the fame rockstar ended up getting.
I read a sequel was in development but it never materialized. Bummer!
@NoMooreMercyTV Bummer indeed. Great review, though, man. I subbed.
@MooseBurrito575 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, I'll have something else out (hopefully) soon!
gun was more red dead than the actual red dead revolver

definitely needs a remaster.

It is! It'll throw you straight off of it.

Gun was such a great game
It still is!
I remember using a sharpie to make a tiny dot on my tv screen dead center so i knew exactly where my bullets where going to hit because the aiming box was pretty terrible, the rifles not so much but the pistol box was way to wide, id be running around getting perfect headshots, then i seen the aim dot on read dead much later in life and chuckled at myself knowing i was on the right track 😂
HA! That's one way to do it lmaoooo
I LOVED this game. It was like Dark Souls to me but at 5 years old 😂 I didn't understand the story but I enjoyed the shooting.
The game is like Dark Souls level of difficulty if you don't upgrade your stats! Lol. The MacGruder bossfight is the worst offender.

its mainly a western story with mini games but good ones
Idk if I'd call them minigames, probably just poker. I do wish there were more of them, though, like blackjack or roulette or something. But I'm just nitpicking
