The fact that in multiplayer getting killed is punctuated by *YOU'VE BEEN MOTHERFUCKED* is either the stupidest or the most genius thing I've ever witnessed.
So that means the player's mom fucked you or does he fuck your mum after killing you?
I like how in the first Die Hard John only wore the wife beater because he was caught off guard while getting undressed and meanwhile here it's his attire of choice to run into gunfights.
He has every opportunity to get dressed! Must be the summer heat.
@@TehsnakererHim having a heatstroke explains so much
He also wears a wife beater in Vengeance with a shoulder holster over it but that's just because it was summer in New York
@@ComradeKits For the first half or so of the movie he was wearing a button up over it but threw it away once it got too dirty and ripped.
"You know i've only got eyes for you, dad." Of all things to unpack from this game let's not unravel that ball of *yern.*
saying you "cant say much" about a studio called "NDA" is the funniest subtle humor
and even that gets topped multiple times this video, you are a master of comedy in this field
I am convinced that Snake loves the art style because it resembles the opening to Boiling Point
That and Postal 2
his name is Smake
I feel like 'Postal 2 vibes' is potentially the worst thing you could say about a game's artstyle but somehow managing to tap into that niche is a hell of an achievement.
The game also looks like Boiling Point: Road to Hell. The jank game par-excellence.
It’s a curse of an artstyle that brings with it a charm that can’t be beat
Saying "postal 2 looks bad" is said by someone who has never pissed on shit while making someone vomit while on catnip....you call that ugly I call u ugly
To me it looks a bit like GTA3 or Vice City. The lighting and shading is very similar. Postal 2 has a bit more grit in it's textures.
And making any comparison to Postal 2 can either be a selling point or an insult depending on who you're talking to. No middle ground there. Lol
A "genuine Die Hard experience" game where each enemy is its own unique miniboss sounds like it could be really good idea. I could see it being functionally similar to a survival horror game like Amnesia or Outlast, just with an action aesthetic.
Considering John isn't some unstoppable killing machine in the movies, that feels quite appropriate.
@@HappyBeezerStudios An FPS game is just a survivor horror for the AI.
Talking The rainbow six style of less enemys but You Will die with shot withou good Body armor and cover
Ok so I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but when you switched to the french dub, the voice actor who portrays John is actually Bruce Willis' official stand-in dub actor. I'm impressed already!
Very cool, I was just baffled to even see a dub track. And the PS2 version adds Spanish and Italian on top.
@@Tehsnakerer It's a Christmas miracle!
80 minutes of tehsnakerer covering a forgotten 2000s game... Now this is a gift
51:00 Of course! You're talking about Hideous Destructor, a Doom mod where encountering even a single lowly imp can be a challenge for the player!
That auto aim reveal got me real good.
“Wow, these aiming controls suck.”
“Yeah, we know, so we did the aiming for you.”
as a gamedev student who's tried out mocap acting, directing, cleanup, and using it for 3D animation, i could immediately tell that the walk and pulling out the gun at 4:35 was mocapped.
that cautious walking and strange leaning, and the way she's pulling her gun out and how the rig is barely able to follow the models. this all screams to me that they didn't have enough time to clean it up and maybe the actor themselves weren't sure how much freedom of movement they had in the suit, just that they can't let the reflection spheres be close to each other
Time Splitters not coming back and the studio closing is quite possibly the most depressing thing of 2023 for me... I'm not over it. So much anticipation and waiting all for naught... I'm extremely sad.
New Snake just before Christmas… What a dream.
It's a Christmas miracle!
New Smake*
the darkness and silence through the night
I love the realization that Die Hard 3: On a Boat eventually did happen in the form of Dynamite Cop, which was the sequel to Die Hard Arcade, and due to licensing issues was itself a serial-number filed off game that spawned its own sequel, Asian Dynamite
1:15:11 Even though it gets cut off, I love this line. It’s like the game directors realized they hired a bad VA and chose to throw shade at him, as part of the villain’s final humiliation.
To be fair, that was partly my fault, if you go too far forward the argument gets cut off, you can let it play out for a bit
I can't get over the idea of there being not one but TWO Grubers looking for revenge over Hans's death. What's next, Hanna Gruber?
John 'The Gruber Remover' McClane can never rest
Four grubers? I'm seeing double!
Tollwütigerhund Gruber, Hans' cowboy ancestor.
@@RAFMnBgaming DER GRUBENATOR! A cyborg Gruber clone made to kill the McClane bloodline in the past by Skynet.
Hanna Gruber (daughter), Ilsa Gruber (astranged wife), Ernesto Gruber (childhood friend adopted into family), Rick Moranis (Gruber's father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate), Fluffy Grubber (the dog)...
Neither one of them were seeking John for revenge or anything like that. They all just happened to be connected to the villain's plot in Die Hards 4-8, until Die Hard IX gives us the original Hans Gruber in space (or at least that's how it is in my alternative universe)
Happy Holidays! Remember to leave a pack of smokes and a full MP5 magazine for John McClane this year!
He will keep the terrorists out of your home
I never expected this much "ode to joy" being played for a game about an American movie series that was taking place in Cali.
Maybe it's a Die Hard thing, but I honestly felt more in the United States of Europe with how much the anthem played; even expected a "Freude, schöner Götterfunken!" to come out of my speakers.
On the "Adapting Die Hard" segment, I recommend you look into the "Night at the Office" mod for the original half-life. It really is just die hard as a game, low enemy count, both you and the enemy die quick so you have to play smart and sneaky. Hell, the mod's plot is basically the same as the movie's.
I mentioned this in a different reply but there is a swat 3 custom mission that is a recreation of Nakatomi Plaza. I’m pretty sure there is a die hard mod/map in Duke Nukem 3d
I love that the legally distinct Bruce Willis looks like something out of the Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
I was thinking of what game could capture the feel of the Die Hard's overwhelming odds angle. Then i realized that Manhunt; a stealth/horror game has something close to that. Manhunt's main gameplay loop is picking off overwhelming numbers with your stealth and wits; using dark areas, throwable distractions and general strategizing to chip away the crowd. It's way of increasing difficulty, is to make it much harder to slowly pick off the overwhelming odds; with new enemy strategies such as never leaving groups, leaving guards at specific areas, simply carrying guns. Stealth is fully encouraged, as melee combat is intentionally slow and sluggish and guns HURT; you can go from full health to 40% health with one point blank shotgun shot, and automatic weapons just delete your health. Manhunt fits the overwhelming odds angle of the Die Hard quite well; tho i don't think John Mcclane would just chop a guy's head off.
I find that full health to 40% shotgun blast bit hilarious in this context. Frankly, if you’re going for realistically dangerous gun damage, taking a shotgun blast point blank should just be death.
@@isenokami7810 Think it is on the higher difficulties in all fairness
Having Ode to Joy burst into life as the relief surged through you as you realized how easy the shooting would actually be was an inspired choice.
That bit at 15:12 where the guy comes out of the stall when you're holding the other guy at gunpoint made me burst out laughing. It was some combination of the janky clipping before opening the door, his very interestingly coloured outfit and the incredibly awkward silence that was comedy gold. This is why snake videos always get my full attention and aren't just playing in the background. :P The visual gags are some of the best. Thanks for another great video!
He made two "Alan Rickman is dead" jokes in a row and I chuckled at both of them
I'm not sure if I should be impressed with him or disappointed with myself
"NDA productions, i can't say much about them" is a great starting gag. Thanks for brightening up my christmas at 2 am. Merry Christmas ❤
15:28
I just can't get over this moment. Part of me wonders if its deliberately scripted this way, or if the AI just had a fluke and unintenionally created a comedy bit. Add some lame punchline and a laughtrack and you basically have an SNL Skit
10:11 that moment had me cracking up way more than it should've
That entire segment nearly shattered my ribs😂
Night at the Office mod for HL1 gives the most Die Hard vibes imo, the enemy terrorists are very few and very dangerous.
Man, Fat Larry had a radical shift in his life in the 2 years between this and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
Merry Christmas, Smake.
You and Ross uploading at virtually the same time? God bless us, everyone.
Them and Grimbeard. We're eating well this year!
I do enjoy how the (basic) story of Die Hard: Vendetta could've/would've worked as an actually quite good film plot which acted as a metacommentary on action films and the 'Die Hard' formula.
Its a glorious lookback to a lost past - I wonder if we'll get an indie wave in the next decade of '2000s Movie Likes' in a similar vein to BOOMER SHOOTERS
That E.V.O. callback caught me so off-guard, I laughed out loud. :3
I'll take some of that Japanese thrash jazz the record store is selling
What don't people like a tune anymore?
Listen to Torture Garden by Naked City 👍
10 minutes in, and after seeing the aimbot pull off the most narrow hostage rescue ever, I know this is going to be a new favorite video of mine.
The voice actors sound like they are trying not to wake up their mum downstairs
Edit: I just got to the xbox/ps2 section and realized I have actually played this game before. Or rather, walked around the opening area on my uncles xbox when I was like 6. That's a lifelong mystery for me solved!
A wonderful gift of a video about the second best Christmas movie! I always loved this game, even if I never played it myself.
Noah AND Snake jank? It's a bloody Christmas miracle!
This man's uploads make me irrationally happy. OG YT content creator still chugging along in his original format.
Die Hard being a Christmas movie isn't a joke anymore; both the director and the writers have agreed that it is.
That's cool, I missed that cause I really did drop out when big British comedians were doing sets about it. I do think it counts as a Christmas film besides all the gags cause even without people involveds word, why the hell not?
@@Tehsnakerer Yeah it's literally just Home Alone but in a skyscraper and people actually die lol
50:42 I actually think a really good way to adapt the Die Hard feeling of tension into a video game would be something in the style of the first Resident Evil, but instead of zombies, it's just regular armed goons. Like you could make combat a relatively rare occurrence, have the player be very vulnerable to damage, and limit the resources they have available, while they have to navigate an enclosed area solving puzzles. Most of the gameplay would be about figuring out how to get from point A to point B without being gunned down, only engaging enemies as a last resort. Bonus points if these soldiers are actually intelligent and will follow the sound of your gunshots.
Yeah, this is actually an idea I've had for a while and I really want to see it done justice, but it wasn't until this segment of the video that I realized just how much it fits the spirit of Die Hard.
An hour and 20 minutes of deep diving into a weird game I know nothing about? Only an appropriate christmas gift when coming from you snake, merry christmas!
tried this game emulated on ps2 after listening to the Bullet Time episode, the first two hours made me fall in love in the middle of a whiplash
That 4 hour podcast you did about this game is one of my favorite RUclips videos ever made.
Now this!?
What an absolute treat.
Max Payne 3's ending was ironically the most Max Payne 1/2 the game got and I enjoyed it immensly.
Now I want to see a Die Hard immersive sim.
That'd be awesome
but... wouldn't that just end up as a Splinter Cell mod with no night vision?
I was so scared you would never upload again my precious little princess
Check the channel, I've been uploading when I got stuff
Snake, the difficulty is clearly in German. The Hard, the Harder, and The Hardest.
This game's plot feels like somebody trying to resume the whole die hard franchise from memory on the phone while cooking a Christmas dinner
Bro I can't tell you how happy I am to see one of your uploads. Shine on you crazy diamond.
Oh hell yeah, another in depth review of a slightly jank game with charm that I'd have never expected.
ayy snackerer man. i used to listen to your stuff a shitload back in the day grinding it out for max level in new vegas. good seeing you still around. have a good one homie.
btw - you know that Berkan Denizyaran guy who was behind hunt down the freeman ended up at blizzard and is currently at sony santa monica? life's a....surprising...thing XD
I did not expect an hour plus long dissertation on a rough Die Hard video game adaptation, and I'm all for it. Didn't even expect to hear about the extensive history of Die Hard's movie adaptation becoming reality.
Very christmasy, thanks
Love an hour long video on a game I never heard about on Christmas.
Merry Christmas in advance, man. Here's to more excellent well-written humorous videos in 2024!
Merry Christmas and happy holi-
Wait a minute, what was that? Did you see that? Was that a grinch that just ran by behind you? Oh man, I wouldn’t want to be you right now. Just don’t make eye contact. Grinches hate that, I heard.
I gotta get outa here. Good luck, man you’ll need it.
Ah, Snake playing a forgotten game from my childhood. I’m shocked and my heart is warmed. Thank you Mr. Snake. Merry Christmas!
Happy Christmas, Snake. Thank you for all these silly but appreciated videos about random ass games. Life is garbage, and distractions make it less so. You're a good'un, my boy.
Now this is a Christmas miracle- I remember hearing you talk about this on the Bullet Time podcast so I'm *extremely* excited
Merry Christmas from Australia, Snakerer. Thank you for all the fun this year. Hope you have a good holidays 🎅
Imagine a hypothetical scenario where an executive decided he wanted a game set in a jungle environment after doing a bunch of coke and watching City of God. Of course, he didn't want to risk releasing a game without brand recognition so he chose to use an existing IP even though the character didn't fit at all. After some initial backlash, he told his team to throw in a few flashback levels that looked like the old games and then pretended that was always part of the plan. That'd be weird, right?
On a completely unrelated note, Max Payne 3 sure feels different from the rest of the series.
Yknow, the only thing I wanted under my tree this year was another tehsnakerer video. Now I’m feelin holly and jolly :) Have a merry Christmas, slithery fellow!
What a wonderful gift from one of my favorite channels. Ive said it before on old videos but your videos really gelped me deal with some bad somnaphobia i was dealing with a couple years back as the comfort of rewatching your videownin the background helped ease my anxieties about sleeping. Wishing nothing but the best for you in the new year
45:20 nerf arena blast mentioned
neurons activated
Always wanted to play this game after seeing it in some gaming magazine back in the day, but... I think missing it and having Tehsnakerer suffer through it and tell me what's interesting about it is actually the best of all possible worlds.
Imagine opening the door after taking a mean shit, only to see a cop wearing a wife-beater wordlessly holding your buddy hostage. I believe that the stone cold silence is absolutly the correct. What a wordful Christmas gift.
that shoegaze joke was a low blow... too funny haha!
Truly a Christmas gift of the ages.
I appreciate these reviews above any others due to the consistent appreciation and appropriate judgements for problems.
It's inspiring to see something new (even if the subject is old) and a proper deconstruction of something that has so much effort and amazing ideas but shortcomings and obvious flaws. Quite refreshing.
Thank you Snake for this present, love to see your work in my recommendation.
Another Christmas, another Snake video. It was a great year for videos on this channel, can’t wait to see what we’ll get in 2024
Man, I love this series. It's so much fun to discover all the odd artistic choices of obscure games I've never heard heard of and never would have discovered and played myself (besides Yakuza, which I was already playing the hell out of).
Come to think of it, these videos do a way better job of conveying the experience, character, and themes of their games into a digestible movie length than most actual video game movies (besides Yakuza; I think it's a stretch to call those videos "movie length").
Have a happy new year, Snake, and thanks for the Christmas present.
Whenever I see you upload it just lights up any day, love your videos dude!
Amazing analysis. I love the work TehSNakerer. Keep on keeping on.
This was wonderful, wonderful to hear your great and funny analysis, and wonderful to see something so charming and unique like this, from a bygone age I have great nostalgia for. Never had a clue that Goldeneye had another heir completely separate from Timesplitters and Free Radical, and that was super charming to see also, there are so many little details all over this game that it would be crazy trying to list them all... watching it was an experience of having nostalgia for something I've never played, nor even heard of. Thank you, this was a great time.
Thanks for making these videos dude, I appreciate it
Honestly watching this just makes me wish big companies made more insane movie style games I guarantee it'd fly off the shelves if you put in enough explosions in the trailers
Hope you have a happy holidays Smakerer! Thank you for the great Christmas gift!
Merry christmas snakeman!!! happy to have spent almost a decade with your content & you. :)
Thanks for a wonderful Christmas present.
Happy holidays everyone, thanks for the Christmas-drop Snake ❤
I loved this game as a kid honestly
Love you and your videos, Snakerer, don't know what else to say. This was such a delight, it left me speechless, or at least unable to make sick bollocks puns or whatever. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Just got done rewatching the Greedfall review and I'm ready for another round of tehsnakerer Christmas giving!
Got to play the die hard arcade with my dad on Christmas Day and it made me very nostalgic for this franchise. Loved this video
God i love it when you come out with a video of a game Ive never heard of, will never play, and shouldent play. thease are always a treat
Merry Christmas from Australia! Seeing this in my sub box was a great gift
nice, thanks for the gift snake! merry christmas to you and everyone here ❤️
Thank you for this Christmas gift! I have no clue what this game is, but time to emulate, play it and get back to this video once i have played through a decent bit of it. If its good, nice if its bad, i still have a video from my favorite youtube content creator to watch. Have a happy holiday!
YES new drop for Christmas! Can't wait for your next Yakuza playthroughs those are my absolute favorites
MERRY CHRISTMAS! The übergamer blesses us again
what a delightful christmas eve present, thanks snake!
you are a hero, thank you for making awesome content, live forever
Fresh video to sleep into Christmas on what more could you want, Merry Christmas
The shoegaze joke got me like a left hook, great video man.
Bless you, Happy Christmas ♥
Man, I've got such an insane love/hate relationship with this game, sick to see it even being talked about in 2023. Way back when I was in talks with the lead programmer to do a stream together and go over each stage and ask tech questions, but that's realistically never happening sadly. Anyways, great video, always happy to learn more about the game/series I've poured too many hours into
I really enjoyed your speedruns, shame you couldn't get the guy on.
🙏 big ups homie
Man i love this channel
A snakerer video *and* a new Game Dungeon? This is a real Christmas gift.
Wake up babe new tehsnakerer vid just dropped. Thank you for this wonderful christmas gift mate!
