My friend (who was a compulsive liar) described these games when we were children. I honestly never knew they actually existed.
Don't blame your stupidity on somebody's disability
Was a compulsive liar?
Lmao we all had one of 'those' friends
@@UnjustifiedRecsespecially as children
My friend described a hyper violent version of Teletubbies he said was on late night TV 😂
The difference between these games and stuff like BMXXX is that on top of the humor and violence they’re actually solid in the gameplay department.
Exactly it has more assets to chew on rather than the assets that are just there for show.
I don't know though. If the AI is too good, it feels like it would just suck all the fun out of everything unless you were playing with someone else.
Awesome Classics.
@shawklan27 looking up gameplay of bmxxx makes me crack up thinking there was people jerking it to the low poly models in that game, they look awful lol
Yeah but as someone that loved Dave mirra BMX I didn't even know bmxxx was Dave 3 until a few years ago... It's definitely a solid game but they ruined it with that stunt
Generation 6 consoles was definitely peak gaming. So many high quality titles that defined multiple genres. This was my college years so I'm very nostalgic for this era.
When tech was mature enough you could create something truly cool, but team sizes were still small enough to experiment.
Alright boomer.
@@billyj.causeyvideoguy7361 That was a time when even the big studios like EA and Ubisoft were encouraging experimentation in game design and art direction 100%. It wasn't about chasing trends as much as starting them.
This is exactly the early 2000's tone that is miss so much. I would love a PC port of those games, not even a remake because they would "modernize" the fun out of it. I mean, it basically what EA did to the studio.
i don't get that about western game studios, especially american ones. celebrating gore to extreme levels like in the case of mortal kombat yet being such prudes to anything conventionally attractive and sexual. say what you will about japanese games but at least they treat violence and lewd content with the same weight.
Most of them are on pc already

"Not legally....but Yes!"
@@RegBeta the first one had a PC port. Big box and all.
@@backlogbuddies Only the first game! How is this "most"
Most of my family is now passed and gone and coming back to some of these old games is the only way I can relive those long gone days, they are the only thing thats still here and unchanged from those days, and I'll always be thankful that I can step back into these places, if like you said, only for a moment, to just remember what the world was like at that time...thanks gman.
I understand this all too well, really hits home. Try to stop yourself from getting stuck in the past. Been there, done that.... (in the long term) It isn't good or fun; It's actually unhealthy and leads to all kinds of related problems.
Ps2 era games felt like every developer wanted to make the best game ever, like every game was trying to one up the last one.
Then someone realized how profitable games were becoming and there was a shift from art to commercial product. Call of Duty is a great example of this.
Also far cry. Far Cry 3 was a major hit and they just keep making it over and over because the name sells.
this already happened in the 80s lmao
so tired of the knee jerk "games now suck because its all just "CommErcIaL"
Let's not forget that PS2 is home of so many shovelwares, just like other successful platforms before and after it.
@@MKR3238 The ones that got the budget for advertising or very popular are too commercial. Pretty much any game from E.A. is proof positive. Many gamers don't invest the time to really look for the "good stuff", Jump on the nearest bandwagon then, complain when it turns out to be huge disappointment.
@@cnhnx You want SHOVELWARE ?? The best place for that is Nintendo Wii, not PS2. PS2 era is dominated by bland games. Accelerated development times becoming the norm. A BIG lack of inspiration & originality and more of the same everywhere you went. The early 2000's were as bad as the 80's were. Hope that these dark times stay the hell away for good.
Always gets me in a funny mood seeing Takeshi's Castle referenced with a different name and different voice over
Right you are Ken!
"I can swallow my face." was one thing a contestant said one time and it stuck with me ever since. THAT was the Saints Row "M word time Fun Time" before actual SR.
Ikr? Made me laugh too. I do miss watching the show as a kid. Was decent narrated by Craig Charles.
Dave atell is a great comedian. his insomniac series was GOATED
Aye the one where he took a hooker bowling at like 3am was amazing.
Loved that show! That sax intro is in my head now thanks! 😂
The absolute best content. Never let this era of media die!
It feels live everybody has been revisiting this era of gaming this year. I was surprised at the RUclipsrs I follow playing Max Payne when I just played that for the first time.
Unfortunately it's already died. It's been long dead and soon those of us who grew up with this generation are just going to be called boomers and ignored like we do with our parents.
@@Dorraj Code lives forever. Accessing this content is arguably easier now through emulation than it was when these games were new. Who cares what zoomies think about anything, it's not like your gaming habits are a democracy.
the problem with games like this trying to market hot girls is that you still spend the entire game time thinking about balls.
Ahahaha good one!
As if I could forget one of the games that got me in trouble when it was on the cover of that months gaming magazine. This and DoA Beach Volleyball threatened my ability to keep getting gaming magazines as a teen.
Me and my friends actually really got into Outlaw Volleyball. Once we got past all the ogling; the mechanics, side games, and progression systems made it the perfect "Hey come over and hangout" couch competitive game. It would rotate in somewhere between taking turns on GTA and playing SSX Tricky.
I want the vibe of the 90s and 2000s back so bad.
Well then we're going to have to combat the woke mind virus. I swear these people are even worse than the religious fundamentals in the 80s. At least they didn't pretend to care about the hobby just to subvert it. The 80s-early 00s were the height of culture across several mediums
Translation: "I'm a nostalgic manchild who has never matured past the age of 15."

The funniest thing to me is that the wild characters in games this old seem to have more personality than many in something like Starfield.
That's because these devs still had an iota of passion left that hadn't been soul sucked by Todd Howard and Microsoft...yet.
Plenty of older games feel more alive than Starfield which unfortunately isn't a high bar, hell STALKER came out around the same time or before and the NPC AI in that makes SF look like a one man indie release marketed as something vaguely sexual and comprised of 98% stolen unity assets.
I'd love to interview the devs on this @@Funko777
@@Funko777Stalker's AI to this day is masterclass. The game at any point in time is keeping track of every group of stalkers and enemies and assigning them tasks to complete like "Go to this camp and rest" and they realy do go there leading to 2 groups running into eachother and having fights you might never even see just come back to a place now being occupied by a different bunch of folks. Mutants are on the prowl searching for food contantly, economists are going around researching anomalies, stalkers are going from camp to camp chilling out etc.
The whole world is truly alive whether or not you are there to see it.
Just think back to your time playing Starfield or Fallout 4, did anything ever happen when you THE ALL MIGHTY GOD OF THE UNIVERSE were not there to see it?
This is what's so wrong with todays games, there is no emergent gameplay, the game is exactly as the writers wrote it, there is nothing for you to discover, nothing to play with, you just go along what some random guy in the bethesda offices decided you will go along with.
Personality and creativity have been destroyed as we have become an authoritarian conformist society, where people are afraid to express themselves honestly due to the risk of being cancelled. You could write a list of a thousand topics that not sticking to the 'correct' (and often racist) woke position has major negative effects for you.
This was all before people stopped thinking people who are offended all the time are pathetic losers, as propaganda taught people that offence is something you give, rather than something you take.
The UK recently had a half hour radio show entirely about how you cannot be racist to white people, and even if you can, it's a positive thing anyway. I swear on my life this is true. None of the guests pointed out how abhorrent this is and this attitude is why the emergency homeless support line here asks your ethnicity as the first question and declines to help if you are British. Textbook racism.
I spent sooooo many hours playing Outlaw Golf 2 back in the day. It was fun to play alone, and even more fun with friends. To this day it is my favorite Golf game of all time.
I was really surprised back then that the game was actually a pretty good Golf Sim and not just some trash game with offensive humor.
The trick was to learn how to apply backspin on your approach shots, stopping the ball dead on the green. Once you got the hang of that it was really not that hard.
It was the period where making games was easy enough for anyone to make it but not profitable enough to become a giant industry.
Well we did have Halo and CoD at that time but.....we also had conker and Leisure Suit Larry
?????? Gaming industry was huge in the late 90s/early 2000s. There was alot more small time companies at this time, but it definitely wasn't the wild untamed west like it was in the early 80s like what you're describing. Billion dollar gaming industries were springing up by the mid/late 1980s like Nintendo and Sega
Yeh

@@Gameprojordani think he's referring something like budget size to production time!
I miss these type of games and just out right mindless fun.
I think of the early to mid 2000s as a sort of golden age of gaming. Game studios just took so many risks and there was a wide variety of games because it wasn’t the multi trillion dollar enterprise it is today. We don’t get games like this anymore or other games from that time. I want another outlaw sport game or even NBA & NFL street, Blitz, and even the “serious” sports games had some fun aspects. Some of the best series of games came out during this time too. It was just a great time. The variety is what I miss most. Now I gotta play pga 2k for a golf game now and it just does not have the same charm and I can’t remember the last triple A studio that put something out that wasn’t guaranteed to sell well but was fun and had charm. Maybe “High on Life” but that’s all I can think of.
I rented one of the Outlaw Golf games as a kid, and the line that always stuck with me is "I haven't seen a hook that bad since I saw my grandpa naked".
"No one remembers"? How dare you sir! Outlaw Golf 2 was probably my favourite golf game on the original X-Box. It played pretty well, and beating up Puddin' with Mistress Suki never got old. The humor is VERY dated, but I grew up with Beavis & Butthead. So it suits my generation beautifully.
Wow, this comment section is the absolute best. It's nothing but nostalgia, happy thoughts, and well wishes.
Who knew the Outlaw games brought out the best in people.
Unexpectedly wholesome.
Damn.
😔
The beating of the caddy minigame is so outrageous, I love it lmao.
Beating the caddy senseless WAS the game. The rest of it sucked big green donkey "D".
This is a perfect example of what i loved about video games & entertainment when i was growing up. I never would have thought things would have changed the way they did to where things are nowadays. The early 2000's-90's vibe was the best and I'll miss it forever.
We can still get that type of era revitalized but it will take a lot of work pulling out the activists and busy bodies who care more about not offending the perpetually offended.
People took risks back then and actually found value in NOT being offended.
@@themeangene I mean, devs can easily ignore those people as they don't buy their games anyway, but for whatever reason most companies love to get their feedback from Twitter
@@themeangene Says the guy being offended by a rainbow flag. 🤡
@@theobell2002 It's not really the flag people are offended by, it's the molesting of children it represents. Kinda like how it's not the red and black colors of the Third Reich people find offensive, but the concentration camps.
We’re seeing a reemergence of 6th generation console gaming. Developers are more experienced than ever with 3D graphics allowing for budget titles that are very much AA. This year and a half alone we got a new Gungrave game, Wanted Dead (from ex-Team Ninja developers,) and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk i.e. Jet Set Radio 3. It’s a good year to be a PS2/Xbox/GameCube/Dreamcast fan. Heck, on the GameCube side of things, we’re getting a remake of Thousand Year Door.
Franchises like Oneechanbara, Gungrave, Earth Defense Force, No More Heroes, Disaster Report were IPs I once considered dead for being too niche and yet they have proven me wrong.
Now even Jet Set Radio and Lolipop Chainsaw are returning along with Konami (Silent Hill & Metal Gear).
Honestly, the only IP I think won't ever return is Shadow Hearts (and Koudelka).
Hi-Fi Rush is pretty 6th gen in spirit as well.
@@Manic_Panic Even Shadows of the Damned is getting remade.
Wanted Dead is terrible.
I remember getting an OXM demo disc in the mail with the demo for Outlaw Golf 2 on it. On thanksgiving day, my cousin and I spent hours playing it, even though there was only one course and you could only play as Harley and Ice Trey. We would later rent it from Blockbuster and stay up late playing the extra modes since the main tour was super hard. We never even got close to unlocking everything, and at the time we didnt know about the cheat code to have it all available (It's very conveniently called "I Have No Time")
These games were constantly in rental stores when i was kid. Saw them all the time but was never allowed to rent them
I had Outlaw tennis on the ps2 and man I played it to death, even my sister liked it, hard to believe but it was one of those games that brought the household together for some good laughs
Man I loved these games. Being a 15-16yo male around the time it's clear to see why I loved them so much. My Dad was even quite partial to them at the time as well.
Are you wining son!😂
I’m not sure why you’re so baffled that DOA characters have great reflexes! They’re literally all martial artists lol
Oh yeah! Facts.
This video is how you know gman is an OG.
in the good timeline we keep getting arcadey games with sexy presentation every year
in this one.... well, lets just say spiderman and his aunt have a bizzarro relationship
HA! And I know you're not talking about Aunt May! It's ridiculous what they did to Mary Jane. I do think she looks pretty as a woman in general, but Mary Jane is supposed to look STUNNING and in her 20s! Ridiculous.
Been binge watching your videos lately... I love your commentary, editing and the interesting games that you feature. Keep it up, man!
Seeing Burnout 3 Takedown for whopping couple seconds brought me unbridled joy. Thank you.
That DOA Volleyball is still looking good
Twenty years later and games these days still have issues with that many polygons on a character. Hackers found there’s roughly 30k polygon models with each girl. I’m not sure how that game was possible in 2003. Ahead of it’s time forsure
I had two of those games and still had them to this day. A shame there wouldn’t be more of those, but man, the era they stood on was so much fun, oddly enough
Love your retro review coverage.
Takes me back to old days.
Never heard of these games before. Now I wanna play all of them.
Love these retrospectives of odd classic early 2000 games! Thank you for all you do 😊
Best part is Steve Carell is the announcer.
I knew you were a man of culture, but mentioning MXC just took you to a whole new level. My dad and I religiously watched that show.
Those cases were formative images at your local Blockbuster and you know it.
Definitely the timiest time of all time
What est what est?
"They made fun of pretty much every race class and gender" So it's applied evenly, the definition of equality, which comedy doesn't even need to adhere to.
Based.
that opening is wild my brother!!!! I really like how you write and edit these gaming content
Outlaw golf 2 is pretty timeless, its the one golf game you can always go back to as most others are lacking, be it because they focus too much on the simulation, or just have little content where you done it once and you dont see the point in doing it again, and i think the difficulty holds up so well to the point its just right, you know the AI will often sink the 20ft putts in like any other pro, that means when your on the green, sure you might be chilling and playing a game, but you gotta have that bit of focus still, really keeps you on your toes.
Absolutely loved these games. Still have my physical copies. I wish these types of games would still be made.
Okay I know Gman avoided some obvious jokes but someone needs to tweet Colbert's commentary at him
Don't you worry Gman. I never forgot these games. I still have hard copies on a rack on display. Outlaw Volleyball was my favorite :)
They were my favorite spots games. Funny easy and arcade style games
God, what has the gaming industry gone to? We need to go back where people actually had fun
Emotionally insecure and unstable people got into power and influence
Activists. Activists infiltrated the hobby and then hired talentless people
I feel like it's the same with the movie industry.
Everything just seems to be so dour now, and with the way the world's going, we could really use some more irreverent humour and harmless T & A.
You're just being nostalgic for an era you've lived in. Happens with pretty much everyone. The series' tone is something of the time which wouldn't fly today, much like today's tones and subjects wouldn't have worked back then either. You're just growing older, and that's normal.
@thelast4646
Modern morality standards won't allow it. _Pathetic jerks._
Nobody remembers them, until Gmanlives brought them up.
Steve Carrell doing the commentary is hilarious!
the true unsung hero of the PS2 era: the Impact font
I love these games. They're a prefect time capsule for a bygone era that I wish would make a comeback. Also in regards to Outlaw Golf, you're pulling back way too much on the stick and then waiting for the power meter to come back down to the correct percentage. Just pull it back slowly and wait for it to hit the correct amount of power the first time in one smooth motion. It'll help tremendously with the short game, especially the putting.
It's never gonna make a comeback. These video games are so immature and cringe. The only people who miss these types of games are nostalgic manchildren in their 30's who never matured past the age of 15. Adult games nowadays are much better and more mature in how they handle their subject matters like for example, Baldur's Gate 3.

I remember those games. I still have ALL of the Outlaw Sports games (including the Blockbuster exclusives). Hell, I spent the better part of 2 years going all the way through Outlaw Golf 2 on my gaming channel "Cool Media Sports & Retro" simply because it's my favorite sports game of all time!
I'm watching this right now. Good stuff!
Me and 3 of my friends use to meet up and play 4 players in outlaw volleyball, and do the 1v1 fights when we got tired of each other.
I miss it so much.
Ah yes that good old T&A. Tennis and Astroturf
Indeed.
Natashe from Outlaw Volleyball is blatantly Brigitte Nielsen. One of the devs obviously had a crush as a kid.
Thank.

There is nothing more early to mid 2000s than female characters wearing jeans and they have a thong that is really high. That and midriff, God, I miss Lindsey Lohan in her prime and her middiff
I was just thinking of these games 2 days ago and then you posted this
Outlaw Golf 2 was one of the many games I played as a kid. It was on my grandfather's modded Xbox and I had the PS2 version.
I was really into golf at the time, so something like this was right up my alley. Fun, but tough as nails. Even performing poorly was entertaining, as there were some funny animations and dialog to accompany it. My favorite golfers were Summer, as even my six year-old self could recognize her hotness, and Ice Trey, as I was enamored with his wigger mannerisms and hip-hoppish sense of fashion. I was never able to unlock the others back then, though. Like you said, it was easy to pick up, but hard to master.
I picked up a used copy at my local CeX last week, mostly for a bit of nostalgia (it was only $4, so why not). I ended up getting a good bit of mileage out of it; even managed to complete the Tour for the first time with Harley, then doing the same with Ice Trey, and eventually beating the entire game after a long while.
It's a shame Hypnotix got snatched up by EA and merged with one of their studios. Their games were brimming with personality, however crass and politically incorrect they may be, and it was clear they were passionate about what they did. I guess EA just didn't want any competition.
Oh, and about what you said regarding Bunny, Trixie's mom and caddy; I didn't think too much of her back then, as I only saw her during the intro cinematic and credits. As a 25 year-old, however, I find myself in agreement with you. Bunny can absolutely get it.
When I got my og Xbox from my mom for christmas she had got me Outlaw Golf with it. That game was the most played game on that Xbox.
Oh thank gawd, another Gman video! Everything else seems so dour these days; the world absolutely NEEDS your work!
We need more games like this
Every time I see one of these games from my past it just reminds me of how good we had it.....
This reminds me, I'm still missing Outlaw Tennis for my Xbox collection. I liked Outlaw Golf 2!
AFRO-dite, Navahoe? Dang these are clever and hilarious ahahaha
I think that Russian character in Outlaw Volleyball was supposed to be based on Brigitte Nielsen (Red Sonja, and also in Rocky IV with Dolph Lundgren).
Oh snap! I got to get around to seeing Red Sonja.
Thumbnails are always on point 👌
Outlaw Golf remains, to this day, the best golf game I've ever played. THANK YOU for recognizing this series, I constantly wish Outlaw Golf would get a remaster or reboot.
Not in current year. Lol
Have you not played the Everybody's Golf/Hot Shots Golf games? I highly recommend them if you haven't.
Everybody's Golf is fantastic! Arcade-y fun where you can customize your own characters, unlock body types and clothes, and even put on a Gimme Mode to to lower the AI but still get all the coins from a tournament.

Outlaw Golf 2 is the main reason I still have my old Xbox 360 hooked up.
Many years ago my original Xbox was stolen, along with all the games. Outlaw Golf 2 was one of those games.
A bunch of years later I was browsing through used Xbox games at a game store, and found the first Outlaw Golf. A little bit disappointed it wasn't OG2, I still bought the game. When I got home and took the disk out of the case, it turned out to be the disk for Outlaw Golf 2. That certainly made my day.
Cheers!
Whoa what a steal! Unintentional of course lol. I was trying to get good at Outlaw Golf 2 for months I still couldn't beat any of the characters to unlock stuff, so finally I put in that code.

God outlaw golf 2 was a hidden memory you just unlocked, my dad and I played the hell out of this when I was a kid. Such a great game.
I had the first outlaw golf. Absolutely loved it
one of my first xbox games was outlaw volleyball, played the living hell out of them. eventually came across the holiday demos of them and they were fun just wish those stages and such were transferable in some way
I remember seeing Outlaw Golf on the shelf at my local video game store around 2007 with my friends and just laughing at the shitty premise. The box art, alone, was pretty amusing. Always wanted to try it out.
That Stephen Colbert comment about his current audience couldn't be more accurate lmao
I remember finding Outlaw Golf 2 in a EB bargain bin for 2 bucks growing up.
That game was seriously the only game I've ever 100%'ed..
Also. Hypnotix actually made one of the jokes reality. The Vanilla Ice stereotype's Ice Trey's single that they mention in Outlaw Golf 2 "Me Rap Good" is actually a track in Outlaw Tennis
My god. This is the most offensive, half decent game series I ever seen. I love it. You'd never be able to get away with this stuff today.

Then eventually to Mario Golf N64 and Everybody's Golf on PS4. Yeah even after playing my friends copy of Mario Golf Super Rush it's still not as intuitive as Everybody's Golf, weird.
