Hey guys, I've got to give a big thanks to World of Warships for sponsoring this video!

My wife's bf loves WoW!
AHAHAHAHAH what happened to the bethesda bucks?
Bring back schwacked!!! After your mom jokes please Sonny Jim!
I wonder how many recording takes it took to explain the World of Warships Azure Lane commanders and ship skins with a straight face and without bursting into laughter. 😅
now this is a banger of a video Gggman , keep doing the good work
THIS is everything (and then some) that Phantom Fury should have been.
Shelly deserves better. She and Dawn would be fast friends, I feel. Can't wait to fire this baby up!
She looks like a Kat to me more than a Dawn... so I will call her Kat.
Wait. Both games start with the main character waking up? And they're both female? Phantom Fury is CLEARLY plagiarism. Especially given that it came out first. They're just trying too HARD.
The funny thing about your mom jokes is that when your kid grown enough to watch your videos hes gonna feel every single one of them.
💀
😂😂
"grown enough" so you mean when hes like 6? Nobody parents anymore just give them an ipad
I tell 'your mom' jokes to my daughter all the time 😅
It's still crazy to think that this is all made in the GZDoom engine. Weird that larger studios don't try and use freely available tools like this, esp. since they're so fanatical about cost-cutting.
They mostly bullshit about the costs or use some inhouse engines with bad optimization. Nowadays I play mostly Indie games. The only AAA games that excites me are from FROMsoftware, Capcom and R*.
It seems pretty obvious why large studios don't use stuff like this. For example, no one would buy CoD if it looked like this.
Because you can't throw buzzwords around and engage the zoomer audience.
One of the main reasons why corporations often avoid using free/libre software is that most community-driven software lacks an official support team of any kind, for these corpos having the ability to call in support and get an issue fixed asap is worth paying that premium. You have to remember that for software development companies having the product out on schedule is usually more important than even the lives and well-being of their employees, they have so many contracts with specific deadlines that they'll gladly throw more money at the problem until it goes away, specially because it's usually not their own money.
@@axelprino It's shite, but it's true.
Doom 3 never gets enough credit. Much of this level design, emissive lights,ambushes and interactive item/screens reminds me of Doom 3 big time
I was thinking the same, it reminds me of Doom 3, you are alone but without being super dark
I think without Doom 3 there might have been no Dead Space.
Phobos: Episode 3 for DooM 3 is out now! I think you'd like it!
In developer scenes it gets the credit it deserves. Doom 3 was the first game which used normal maps made by John Carmack. When the game came out it won most of the awards. Players tend to forget it because it had no gripping storyline.
Doom 3 is just half life 1 6 years late
About the upgrade for the shotgun that makes more gibs but doesn't give any gameplay advantage:
The rule of cool has been respected and it's the most important rule to be respected when you play a cool game
GmanLives: There is no story.
Carmack: And?
I said having interesting characters to interact with, interesting lore, good world design and backstories will make me like the game more and that was what i hoped to see. I didn't even demand them to be done that way, just HOPED it was another game that paid more attention to those details and I appreciated games that are like that. Everything was positive, not complaining about whether story is good or bad.
An example is Mass Effect.
@@DustMan2704you sound like an incel lmao
You are a man of culture with this comment :D
Carmack wants to see a Doom inspired porno I bet. I mean I would be interested to see if it turns out better then the actual movies.
i love how theres no opening to selaco. more games should do this instead of starting with some boring opening sequence that goes on too long. it was neat when half life did it 25 years ago. now it’s just tedious
6:28 Lol I don't blame anyone for ripping that save room song. Most cherished song for calm terror!
I love the Sam Peckinpah and John Wu influence with the papers flying when rounds hit desks and tables.
Loved when FEAR did this
Max Payne did it first.@@samfisherxboxog8925
Peckinpah was a massively underrated filmmaker
I can't hear selaco without thinking aliens. Also I like how one of the guns crosshairs is from the assault rifle in halo 3.
It definitely has a huge Aliens vibe for me too
When I heard the name I actually thought it was an Aliens game...
Yup. USS Sulaco Conestoga Class Troop Transport.
The reticle is the same! And it's not the only reference to Halo I've found. The references, in-jokes, and obvious inspirations/takes from other games are great.
@@Flayne009 oh, that's how it was spelled - kudos!
23:21 There is a dash move not just slide?
The higher difficulties play more like a tactical shooter than a boomer shooter, you get folded so quickly. There are so many little nuances, everyone read the in-game tips! You can insta gib a single unalert enemy, side staffing can dodge projectiles at mid-range, letting you move under fire into good positions if you pick the right approach, the movement boosts, crazy slide jumps, dashing back into cover, holding angles, traps, tools, turrets. So much depth, can't wait to see what people discover. Satisfying crunchy combat.
6:56 Gman in a game? Youve made it now, sonny jim. You be all famous n shit.
Reminds me of Mandalore being an optional boss in Ultrakill.
He was already part of the first Selaco demo.^^
He’s in mullet mad jack too
A couple years ago i read that the engine for Doom 3 also became open source. Makes me wonder what awesome games talented people can make this with this old engine
There's a whole Thief community that have been using it called The Dark Mod.
It started out as a Doom 3 mod, but when they released the source code in 2011 they made it standalone.
It's one of the coolest things about Carmack. Not just is he a genius, he makes his work public domain. Apparently there was some issue with ZeniMax and Carack started re-writing the Doom 3 source code to get around their licence on it lmao.
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputerI want to note that his code is open source (available for reading and changing), but it's not public domain - that's a legal term that is not covered by the actual license: GPL. This license says you're free to change whatever, but once you share your version of the game, you too must release your source (that's the gist - I am not a laywer, etc)
Id Tech 4 (Doom 3 Engine) is like the Holy Grail of game engines. I so badly want to see what Id Tech 4 looks like and how it works but there’s absolutely nothing online about it except a Czech translation, and most of its tools can’t run on newer systems or there’s no documentation on how to use them
@VendibleUser Id tech4 is public domain now. It's up on Github on the id Software page. Both the D3 and the BFG versions are up.
There might be some old webpages about that still have tutorials up, but I've not looked into modding for it for over 10 years.
I recall it being really easy to mod for.
Playing it now, and it's clearly borrowing heavily from FEAR, and that's a GREAT THING. I died a few times in the prologue trying to kill a guy with dinner plates. It was hilarious.
I love the reference to Men in Black 1 with the "Roaring Cricket" instead of the "Noisy Cricket."
Now give us a super shotgun!
"You now unlocked the Zombie Exploderizer"
@thepickles8833 the crowd eliminator-inator *in doofinshmirtz voice*
Upgrade your already existing shotgun
Selaco is what Phantom Fury wishes it was. It's the only FPS this year I consider an absolute must-play.
A buddy of mine is still mad at you, because you've been able to play multiple levels a couple of years ago, while all my friend got, was the demo
This comment is based on a true story.
I have given into your demands and have proceeded to purchase the game now, which is also amazingly offering a bundle WITH Mad Mullet Jack... GENIOUS!
With the amount of reviews, threads in discussions, and a small amount of fanart, this game will be a commercial success if it's not already one. This is on top of the good things I have heard about this game.
This game is fucking awesome. The gunplay, the enemy AI, and the combat arenas alone sell it. But that's not all Selaco has to offer. It has some of the most insane secret hunting, top notch quality of life features and accessibility options, banger music, fantastic environmental story-telling, and even a slight droplet of Metroid in its DNA since you can return to previous levels for optional upgrades (although I wish some enemies respawned on re-visitation). So glad I supported this on Patreon, and it's not even finished. There's so much more to come.
Yes yes Trepang2 and now this
Trepang was so. Fucking. Good.
If you had to pick one which would it be?
@@Pereza0both
@@UniverseGlider2can't wait for the sword!
Don't forget Turbo Overkill.
You always given so much awesome recommendations to play these retro FPS games. Definitely on my wishlist of games to play this year.
Great video as usual. I had this on my Steam wishlist and completely forgot about it.
I made it to 1:27 and clicked buy. As someone who has enjoyed DooM 2 (with Brutal DooM modded on) more than most modern shooters... this purchase was too easy.
Right? I've been leveling in the evenings and watching this i'm straight up gobsmacked. Incredible shit
Yep... I'm a console player and hardly ever play pc. When I saw civiee do his review I paused less than 2 min in and went bought it
I really hope this is one of those indy games that hits mainstream, goes to console and gets an amazing sequel. This looks soooo good.
The problem is that they can't use gzdoom on consoles due to licensing so it's not very likely.
Saw this becomes available on Steam, immediately bought it as I wishlisted it years ago. After playing it, I am not disappointed as most of the things you said in your video are true. I am just glad my instinct for picking FPS game this time does not fail me.
The particle effects from the weapon remind me of Quake 2
Love the realistic time frame they state on their steam page for early access to be finished. 12 - 18 months per chapter, late 2026 estimated release. Nice to see their not claiming it'll be done by the end of 2024 or some shit.
Steam emailed me and said the game is now out of Early Access. But on the actual Steam page for Selaco, it's still listed as Early Access. WTF is going on? I do NOT want to buy an Early Access game.
This is disappointing lol. I’m not going to buy an indie game right now that isn’t going to be finished until 2026 wtf
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 i mean the first chapter took me 8 to 9 hours to finish. thats good for a single player shooter. so its not like youre only buying it to play 1 or 2 small levels. its got 6 solid levels.
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 me either! That's why I'm glad they were upfront and realistic with their time line. I'm tired of buying early access fps and having them released 2 years layer then they estimate.
I bought it just to support a small team. I bought Ultra Kill 2 days ago just because of their wholesome response to someone bragging about pirating their games. I give indie devs far more leeway than big studios who major in disappointment.
If it takes the developers 6 months to create a ship for World of Warships, and there are over 500 ships in the game, that means it took this team over 250 years to develop this game. Wow! Must be great
Cool little detail I noticed; the Selaco handcannon has a ring of fire muzzle flash just like the the Desert Eagle .50, the irl handcannon
6:57 music sounds like one of the Levels in Geometry Dash. If yk yk
I still can't fucking believe this is made on the GZDoom-Engine. Pulling this off is an artform of it's own
I'm really loving this game so far, they nailed the combination of boomer-shooter and immersive sim, navigating the environments has big System Shock 1 vibes to it but faster paced and not _quite_ as labyrinthian (although it's still pretty easy to get lost sometimes). My only gripe is so many enemies use hitscan weapons and they're _extremely_ quick to react to you and very accurate, leading to too many times where it just feels impossible not to take damage.
I was waiting for you to cover this game more.
ty!
I'm so glad this finally came out, have been playing the demo like creazy since October
GOD DAMN THAT DROP KICK INTO A POINT BLANK SHOTGUN SHOT WAS BAD ASS!
How many times is he gonna say, "Heh, yah, no pun intended."? He says it every video, I swear, lol.
It's always nice to see more games like these to play on my handheld
Selaco and Trepang2, two games with terrible and ridiculous names yet so satisfying and well made.
The gunplay footage in the intro seems so tight, weighty and badass I'm tempted to buy this game on sight.
I love the very subtle cel shading and the dreamy low framerate reload animations
I was at work, got the steam notification and got it right then and there. This is one of the first games I wish listed when I built my first pc last year
I absolutely love how the Assault Rifle crosshairs is the same as Halo 3's Assault Rifle crosshairs.
Looks nice. I will wait for full release
Awesome vid/review. I wish listed it on steam a few days ago. Definitely want to buy now.
Played the demo on a whim and was blown away, been waiting for this to release ever since.
I've been waiting for this for a while now and I'm very glad it didn't disappoint based on this review.
Fuck this looks dope!
i absolutely love this game so much :) i have everything cranked to ridiculous and i love seeing the rooms painted
THAAAAAT'S where I know her voice from. The underrated gem of a game, The Mortuary Assistant. Ah man, it was bothering me. You solved the mystery.
exploding toilets you say? you had my curiosity.......now you have my attention
This is precisely what I was looking for and my AMD 5500U 8 GB RAM 2 GB VRAM Lonovo IdeaPad 3 laptop can do 60+ fps at 1080p 🎉. First thing I did was make the gun sight marker much smaller and made it red similar to what I use in Battlefield 4, good to go blasting.
I can tell the gunplay feels unique. I’m definitely going to peep this
I want this, but I have to say because of you, I'm playing Mullet Madjack, but also, I'm playing Abiotic Factor because of ME LOVING IT. Both of those games combined are this, with the only thing missing being that Abiotic Factor is a scientist RPG in the style of Half-Life while still on Unreal engine and the fact that you can move/ use anything in the game to craft and make bases like Minecraft. When I'm done with that or feel like I can mix it up, though! The sci-fi and old games combo would become a soup in my mind lol
Literally saw the bundle yesterday! You just gave me a reason to buy it
Sonar Shock mentioned? Review at all possible?
When it's easier to see what you're shooting at in Redneck Rampage than in this, something has gone terribly wrong.
This is the first game I've bought in Early Access because I played the demo so much that I can pretty much get through it blind folded. Same with the Mullet Madjack demo 😅
Been following this game on Twitter since development started years ago. So happy to see it being exactly what I expected.
Time to buy. Time to play.
Thank you my friend I would have never known about this game 2 years ago if not for you and the release is amazing.
the paper effects tho, OMG i was walking though the paper for like an hour and being amazing by it
I have been playing the Demo for ages so, I am pretty hyped about getting a full episode. Great feeling shooter from my limited experience.
Thank you for introducing me to Sonar Shock, now im going to have to divide my time between that, Selaco, and Skald..it's a great week for gamers.
I really love games like Selaco, Dusk and Prodeus absolute heart sends to older shooters.
Selaco: gold.
Phantom Fury: horrible, agonizing failure.
Saw it on reddit based on one of the Twitter posts years ago. The FEAR fan in me is so glad that it's finally out!
Finally sonnyjim delivers some good content thanks mate
"Apparently cocaine makes you bulletproof." Bwa ha ha ha! Classic comedy gold!
Sunny Jim Weather Channel!
The most accurate weather!
i love the enviroment and artstyle it looks so unique and cool
I want this you got me into the The Citadel and i was not disappointed
Haven’t been looking forward so much to a release (even if early access) since Cultic.
Just realised that in the outro, your car runs Doom 64. Nice touch.
Love the content, G. Keep the 'ya mum' jokes coming
Another accurate forecast. Thank you for your hard work, Sunny Jim. I will indeed carry an umbrella in the coming days.
Selaco is amazing thus far!
I remember playing the demo to this it blew me away then too
Before I watch the review, my experience from the demo for years was that the hitscan element made losing health feel like it was always out of my control. Guess that might change with more burst/explosive options in the full game. I really liked Ion Fury.
when i see a gman vid load up i quickly watch and like B)
Honestly you had me at weapon upgrades and backtracking being worthwhile, I'm a sucker for exploration being rewarded in a significant manner beyond just "have some extra ammo and health packs"
Really cool color palette. Couldnt help to notice that the reload animations are made like in the same way as anime, adding to the theme of the game. Modern Brutal Doom, yes please
played the demo not long ago... which sadly isnt available anymore? awesome game, thanks for covering this awesome game
The shotgun’s reload animation is similar to the Killzone shotgun reload, it’s killer
okay i gotta buy this for the safe room music alone.
Ya I remember playing the demo years ago now and thinking it had a ton of promise. Glad to see it alive and well!
What i love to much about Selaco is that the aliens shoot projectiles. So long as you are aware of your surroundings, staying mobile will win most fights.
You had me at "immersiv sim"
This game is awesome!! I played through the demo twice. I did not know it came out.
Been waiting for this since forever. Still have the demo installed and played it all the time. Funny your video dropped a hour before steam told me it was available lol. Thanks man, and fuck yeah.
Yay! It finally came out!
it's pretty clear a lot of what inspired this game and they do a really good job of melding all those elements into a solid fun shooter. ill be giving this one a try.
Love your channel! Each Gamevideo is the answer to my question "Is it worth playing?" correctly. Thank you for your content and your awesome presentation!
great review man, at 10:44 imo FEAR is a much greater game when played without the slowmo and preferably on highest difficulty. Then you get a real shooter that tests your ability.
thank you Gman playing this RN and damn!!!!
i have no fucking idea how they made that in the gz doom engine, absolute masters
Starting pistol reminds me of the one you get in Prodeus. That thing hauled ass.
Some of the sprite work kind of reminds me of metal gear solid 1. Especially the reload animation for some reason. Very satisfying
CoD should hire these guys.
Crazy to think without King Charles III we wouldn't have fine videos like this
Maybe I'm just a bit simple, but the emotional damage clip never fails to get a laugh out of me. Well played. Also, good on the devs making the pistol an effective and fun weapon. It reminds me of Halo and how fun it was to play pistols-only deathmatch. I love the Robocop, burst fire style they went with here.
i remember the trailers from this a while back. It looks like it plays exactly like HL2
I hope this releases for console.
This totally looks like what Phantom Fury should've been
