Yet during the Pyongyang 2nd half mission, the pilot risked permanent radiation sickness to rescue what Earle calls "poli-chickens" by aiming them towards "up north" via an unarmored train that was getting shot at by Soviet-era military vehicles. So was the greater narrative was to ensure all of those that Kym invited made it out of the capital alive in that mission?
Wow, I forget how awesome the FMV sequences were in this game. Watching all of this is bringing me right back to my childhood. I always loved these games even though they were really difficult as a kid. Time to find an emu!
That's what made the PS1 feel so futuristic. Most console gamers, aside from the few who bought the Sega CD, never saw real life actors in their games. I'll never forget the first time I watched the intro to the very first Resident Evil on the PS1.
I remember how terrified I was when I saw the results of the nuclear bomb. We're always taught as kids what we did with them, but having the controller in your hands and being unable to prevent such disaster happening gave me nightmares when I was younger
Also lucky this was made in the 90's since if they tried this nowadays Kim Jong-Un of actual North Korea really would threaten to rain nukes along with a lot of offended people.
Kelly Chuang True. But they could just recycle Kim Jong Ill. Or just make one up, like Kim Jong Soo or something to that nature. A Ps2 classic I also want back, is Mercenaries. That game fuckin’ ROCKED! It’s a Playground of Destruction.
More scary how the pilot (us who play the game) flew back towards the dignitaries who magically found their way to train station that was somehow still standing even if you turned it into rubble during the 1st half of the mission, all while risking radiation sickness.
Yes and really can't get away with making this today since if it was the real Kim along with the real life North Korea would be offended and threaten actual nuclear war.
@@kellychuang8373 Any real politicians getting named as villains in video games is now a no-no for risk of political backlash. In Soviet Strike, noticed each villain per level was a phony make-believe person, whereas this game's "Kym" character was a thinly veiled North Korean ruler who was effectively Kim Jong Il.
Which are times now gone and with this Coronavirus really can't duplicate and if this was made today that vicious Kim Jong-Un along with the actual North Korea would really be offended by this and having really way more death threats.
We all have to grow up, where videos like this is a nice reminder of simpler times. Do remember that Earle's words are still mostly true in today's world though.
Watching this game that I played a dozen times or so, I thought about something I miss. I miss games that talks directly to you. They show that you are part of the gears, even if it is just them ordering you to do something.
For the mission on 1:40:28, 1st APC can be redirected into the power plant in the southwest of the map, 2nd APC can be sunk via untying a junk near a specific bridge in the middle of the map, no clue how to stop the 3rd APC outside of gas cans, shooting gas stations, having a train run it over, or shooting it yourself, and finally the 4th APC can be stopped by university students being smoked out from the building just north of the stadium with school buses to their sides.
Surprisingly good footage the actors recorded of themselves in this covert ops! That nuclear blast is real, but old & definitely not over Pyonyang or any major city, yet chilling either way as both Hack & Earle were led to believe LeMonde was bluffing for a split second until he was not.
@@votpavel Funny how the country naming conventions all stuck for both Koreas, Belarus, and Russia/Soviet Union in their last 2 installments, but we get things like "Indocine" and "Lavu Royale" as representative of Southeast Asia similar to how "Irek" replaced Iraq for Soviet Strike.
Compared to the general quality of FMV scenes and voice acting in video games around this time, it's pretty impressive how well this holds up. Seems like they actually hired professional actors and production crew lol
I wish modern games would use real life actors in their cutscenes more. I'll never forget watching the intro to the first Resident Evil. It was truly amazing.
They fired the creator (mike posehn) in a particularly nasty way (removed everything from his office while he was off caring for his sick mother, pulled him from the project, didn't notify him until he returned) so he got pissed and sabotaged the sequel (which led to it being changed to Future cop) You don't eff with a man's baby like that, unless you want him to sue you or abort it! He's been at Canon ever since. Legit mistreated him so bad he swore off gaming for good.
MoviesNGames007uk it did it's called lapd future cop and that game is mediocre at best due to the clumsy controls. frankly it has a killer soundtrack and best multiplayer. still I remember playing one with my brother, good times! ;)
The actual reason to why we didn't get Future Strike like the past 3 games, is that they were "exposing" actual Psy Op and undercover black op missions. Thus the series was haulted. Thing is, how would they know that?
@@rlouie05I think the reason why he did that is to erase any evidence that America is involved, if you remember Soviet Strike, they erase the word "Army" by spray paint, removing the dog tags and removing the American flag from the pilot and his co-pilot to maintain plausible denial
@@matt_canon Maybe it wasn't a sign they "turned" on Strike, but when Hack said "some bad business going down" she happened to point the gun and shot at the camera with Cash by her side.
I really like how you actually took the time to play each of the mission and assets videos unlike other walkthroughs I've seen because they provide a more immersive experience. However, I wish you had also played the ones for the enemies because those were the ones I was actually looking for. :( I'm studying AFVs right now, and I was curious about which ones I encountered back in the day in this game which I do not have with me atm.
My friends and I played this game all night on some heavy acid while scraping all the resin we could out of every pipe we could only to finally have a big black ball of THC that we smoked in the freezing cold, all while his mom was asleep two rooms down.. one of my best teenage memories
You just about scraped through that DMZ level! A few things you missed, just north of the MLR's is a signpost, if you shoot it and destroy the barrier, enemy tanks will turn the wrong way and drown in the swamp. As soon as the submarines surfaces you can destroy them. Once I have destroyed the submarines, I immediately fly to the A-10 hanger base in the south west island and unleash hell on the north part of the map, I quickly take out all the scuds, missile launchers and knock over all the pylons in the canyons to slow down the tanks. Then if the A10 hasn't blown up retrieve the chopper and target the MLRs, and send Andrea into the tunnels. There is also night vision in one of the enemy bases. Also you can modify your loadout at the start of each mission. I usually equip the napalm (fuel drop pods) you don't have to be as accurate as the hellfire missile.. I found the rockets are pretty useless against the tanks but good against the BMPs.
One of the scuds can take out a tunnel, reducing the need for Andrea to use the drill. Two other tunnels can be sealed with a gas truck and nearby generator (Hack says why fry them when you can jolt them!), where remaining tunnels can be done in via the arsenal at hand. Don't forget there's a 1000 rocket ammo rail gun (why was it disguised as a special ammo crate in the Lavu Royal level?) at the jail where the ROK spy gives you the tunnel maps, fuel and ammo depots, plus key choke points for MLRS to blast periodically. The M-1 Abrams tanks hold their own very well on this level!
2:58:40 Hack: "Check it out, General STRIKE Warrior works General: "Is not ready yet, Hack we still need flesh and blood warriors in fact, have I gotta job for you" When General Earle said that I was like: "Uh-oh, what's the General is thinking?"
3:31:51 General Earle: "You can run, but you can't hide. You're a good officer, Colonel Lemonde, but this is where it ends" Colonel Lemonde: "Tell me, son. Do you lose as gracefully as you win" General Earle: "I couldn't say, I've never lost" Hack: "He just activated the doomsday device" Me as commander: "How typical, I guess it's time to stop it"
Oh man. One of the very few games I bought for my PS1. Well my parents actually. I never really did get to experience many PS1 games bc i grew up poor haha.
The game looks pixilated here but on an original crt screen it was very smooth looking due to the way a crt works as it has a kind of built in aliasing to smooth edges. I played this game over and over back in the day on a 32" crt tv. Looked glorious.
looking at this now that I'm older, that weird noise you hear when you fly near the civilians after the nuke explosion is actually a Geiger counter going haywire. when i was a kid i thought it was just some random scary noise to fit the mood or an audio bug. holy shit
What's even more eerie is the idea of your boss sending you into a radioactive wasteland to rescue politicians with a chopper that you just hijacked from a museum about a few minutes earlier, where there can be no way that it's fitted to operate on a nuclear battlefield! This is asking these same politicians to ride an unarmored train, let alone one protected from a radioactivity, while Kim's troops are all fitted with radioactive-protection vs their standard blue uniforms!
@@rlouie05 lol general Earle aka your "boss" dedicated the whole op in saving as much politicians/people as possible before the nuke happened because he already knew of the possibilities of failing to stop the nuke from detonating. And even after the detonation he still let the ops continue to save any survivors with what resources were available on the field instead of straight up ditching and pulling out of the zone. its better to take chances on riding out of the area with an unarmored train (with aerial support) and possibly survive and get treatment, than just sit there and let the fallout kill you slowly but surely. STRIKE cant send anymore transports in the area because theyre using all their resources to bolster forces for the DMZ. Remember that STRIKE's purpose is not to specifically save people during a catastrophe, but here they still tried.
@@yeet144p Yes on all points. A bit odd too that the Geiger counter was going off throughout the final 2 missions & the Cobra's armor never wore down compared to the equivalent mission in Soviet Strike near Chernobyl. Personally, I think that DMZ battle should've been the end of this game vs. what happened in Siberia.
8:46 if I'm not mistaken, that's the IX-529 aka the Sea Shadow. The company that made that stealth ship is Lockheed, the very same company that created the F-22 Raptor and the F-117A Nighthawk, that ship is out of service on September 2006, it's a stealth ship, that means it hard to see it on radar, if you remember back 1997 movie 007: Tomorrow Never Dies, you'll remember that ship
it sorta did, another studio was helping out and they "couldn't get the flying to work" so the game was repurposed as Future Cop LAPD 2100 I think it was called which is sorta a last hurrah for the strike series.
i remember getting this for a christmas present when it came out, then beat it the same day... man was mum pissed [the strike series, the only places where you can meet Elvis and Santa] i also remember reading about the real "sea shadow" and being excited, but well... shame how that turned out
I remember playing this as a kid and destroying everything. There was so much dialogue. I remember purposely screwing up each mission to hear every dialogue possible hahah
Jungle Strike: Flattened the delta town that Naja’s forces were “saving”. Island Strike: Cleared all islands of each building, where once I dismantled the banks on Lavu Royale, it triggered a SNAFU. Peace Strike 1: Blew up every building once the Cobra was available, including a White House lookalike & May Day Stadium’s walls. The enemy vehicles still went around the boundaries as if walls or buildings were still standing though. Hope the dissidents were harmed. Peace Strike 2: Most buildings were gone, but the White House was completely intact while May Day’s stadium walls were back up. DMZ Strike: No mercy for any building on either side. Tried my best to keep from shooting my allies, but some just got in the line of fire, especially after DPRK forces were stopped. This should’ve been the ending, not the next mission. Fortress Strike: Crazy number of things to destroy, plus Shiva’s Dagger was too easy to kill without Andrea’s “help”, where I even shot her down for kicks since she was barely doing anything. Lightening Strike: Basically Island Strike-lite.
I could never finish the 3rd mission back in the day. I damaged the disc so badly that all the textures would run together and make the game unplayable.
Dec97-early 98. I remember as soon as I got Andrea I went to an LZ across the DMZ and had her reprogram a Scud to blast the tunnel in that southwestern area to deny the NKs a free pathway.
If you hover over the school in the east that's north of the stadium, you can launch either a smoke bomb or tear gas into it, then the students come out and assemble along the road and will kill the APC that comes at 1:43:44 . The 1st APC can also be re-directed by a roadblock at the bottom left of the map, where it'll run into an electrial substation and blow up. The 2nd APC can be caught on a bridge where a tied up junk can be let loose to blow up the bridge while the APC is crossing. Any special ways to kill the 3rd APC aside from gas stations, gas tanks or trains?

Earle is one of the best generals ever. And it has one of the finest quotes ever at the very beginning.
In the Soviet Strike game, the origin of his "polichickens" term and how Strike came into being was a bit dark.
Как же я обожал в детстве эти картонные танчики, улетающие в стратосферу от взрывов

3:41:24 I guess Future Strike never got finished. Too bad, that would have been cool.
With how Hack's final words were said, Naja & Cash are going to be the enemies?
it sorta did, another studio was helping out and they "couldn't get the flying to work" so the game was repurposed as Future Cop LAPD 2100 I think it was called which is sorta a last hurrah for the strike series.

I LOVED this game as a kid!
i remember getting this for a christmas present when it came out, then beat it the same day... man was mum pissed [the strike series, the only places where you can meet Elvis and Santa]
i also remember reading about the real "sea shadow" and being excited, but well... shame how that turned out
I remember playing this as a kid and destroying everything. There was so much dialogue. I remember purposely screwing up each mission to hear every dialogue possible hahah
Jungle Strike: Flattened the delta town that Naja’s forces were “saving”.
Island Strike: Cleared all islands of each building, where once I dismantled the banks on Lavu Royale, it triggered a SNAFU.
Peace Strike 1: Blew up every building once the Cobra was available, including a White House lookalike & May Day Stadium’s walls. The enemy vehicles still went around the boundaries as if walls or buildings were still standing though. Hope the dissidents were harmed.
Peace Strike 2: Most buildings were gone, but the White House was completely intact while May Day’s stadium walls were back up.
DMZ Strike: No mercy for any building on either side. Tried my best to keep from shooting my allies, but some just got in the line of fire, especially after DPRK forces were stopped. This should’ve been the ending, not the next mission.
Fortress Strike: Crazy number of things to destroy, plus Shiva’s Dagger was too easy to kill without Andrea’s “help”, where I even shot her down for kicks since she was barely doing anything.
Lightening Strike: Basically Island Strike-lite.
How didnt I know about this game? I loved Desert Strike and Jungle Strike
@Sam N ...and Urban Strike as well too
I could never finish the 3rd mission back in the day. I damaged the disc so badly that all the textures would run together and make the game unplayable.
My first ever Playstation game and I still have it today.
The DPRK leader looks younger in this game. He reminds me of PSY.
Dec97-early 98. I remember as soon as I got Andrea I went to an LZ across the DMZ and had her reprogram a Scud to blast the tunnel in that southwestern area to deny the NKs a free pathway.
8-0 HOLY COW! you gotta be kidding me, i did not even know you can do that...
That scud near the ammo base?. Remember that too mate, and save the a10x base.
Yep. While waiting for Andrea to recalibrate the SCUD, the player can use 2-3 fuel/air missiles to destroy the adjacent enemy ammo depot early.
Loved this cool game, damn I used to buy so many games just by looking at the back of the case, in that era you mostly couldn't lose doing that 😉 👌🏻🕹
prefer the PC version of nuclear strike but still awesome :D
i didnt know they had a pc version
One of my fav ps1 games, it's no masterpiece but it is a ton of fun
2:16:36 "Man, who is this guy's travel agent?" Good question, Hack

Oh, that's where the super railgun is! I've been replaying this recently and couldn't find it on the last mission.
Nuclear strike video game 1997 psx
When times were simpler, I was probably 13-14, great memories of an only child.
1:42:49
Hack: "no smoking at the gas station, chief"
So, I was joking around and replied: "ok, I got it"
If you hover over the school in the east that's north of the stadium, you can launch either a smoke bomb or tear gas into it, then the students come out and assemble along the road and will kill the APC that comes at 1:43:44 .
The 1st APC can also be re-directed by a roadblock at the bottom left of the map, where it'll run into an electrial substation and blow up.
The 2nd APC can be caught on a bridge where a tied up junk can be let loose to blow up the bridge while the APC is crossing.
Any special ways to kill the 3rd APC aside from gas stations, gas tanks or trains?
@@rlouie05 maybe if you want to destroy the APC set up a trap by luring it to the gas station and blow it sky high along with the APC
one of the toughest games ever on PS1 I loved it
Mr Cash Said "Where is Bleedin' Sword"54:35
actually looks better than i remember
As a kid, I don't know if I ever even beat the first level but I've never forgotten the cut scene of the tiger attacking the guy.
Also I often shoot the hostages cause they make funny scream.
