Fun fact #1, their first game was side scrolling beat em up called Prawo Krwi "Law of blood". Fun fact #2 , all their games since 2003 runs on their engine called Chrome engine from game Chrome.
I remember working on this game - I was doing the initial translation from Polish of most of the text and interface as a freelancer. I did in a spreadsheet and never saw the game while working on it. It then got shipped off to a writer in the US who polished it with all the yee haws and pardners and such. Techland was developing their own game engine at the time called Chrome - there was an FPS called Chrome and a rally sim called I think V-Rally. Later on they did a „Call of Juarez” but in modern times, some games for german publishers and then I think started to move towards Dying Light.
This game was also somewhat of a big deal in the PC for being one of the first DirectX10 games out there. You got enhanced foliage, slightly better lighting and parallax occlusion mapping.
Yep. Had really cool tech for the time! Did so many things right! Quite unique for having two perspectives, amazing graphics and physics based puzzle solving.
Maybe some of the voice acting is a bit cheesy, but you gotta admit, Ray is amazing. The whole game is really fun; if anyone is reading this and still hasn't played it, please do. The entire trilogy of westerns is great.
Yes, Ray is awsome I absolutely love how badass he is Especially with his entrances : 1)Leaving church with guns 2)When billy saw him before jumping on train 3)when Ray arrived on that farm 4)when Ray jumped down the mines 5)and lastly when he pulled out that machine gun, single-handedly braking in the fort
I never once thought it was cheesy at all. The VA was top-notch and mostly well-written and well executed. Ray's VA in this game is probably my favourite VA performance in a video game ever, for me. The cheesiness was there in BiB. The same actor played Ray here as well(Marc Alaimo) but him trying to play a younger Ray kinda felt out of place, they should've hired some younger VA. Thomas and William's VA was just decent. Marissa's VA was just bad. Dialogues werent as well written as the first game. But yeah it was overall a much better game. But CoJ1 will always have a place in my heart as one of the most loved Eurojank out there, aside from STALKER and Hitman: Codename 47
One tip The game has manual saves and autosaves. You can also use the quicksave key which I think by default is f5 like most games. You should really consider playing this in its entirety because it actually a banger. I played the heck out of it as a kid. It's got some rusty and oldschool game design but overall the basic mechanics and the gameplay loop are solid and hold the game up for the whole runtime. There's a few levels and gimmicks that don't do as well but overall it's a solid game. The second game, bound in blood i think, is a huge improvement. It takes a bit of troubleshooting to figure it all out, it's a bit outdated and you need a few third party patches to sort out the fov and widescreen resolution, but it really worth it. The whole game you can choose between one of two characters who have different skills and abilities and sometimes non symmetric paths through levels, there's a couple linear ones that progress the story which are also punctuated with a larger open world ones where you can do your general bounty hunting or whatever and upgrade your gear. It's criminal that the whole game has you play through with an ai companion as he is the character you don't pick to play as, and yet it does not have online coop. Or any coop at all. It almost feels like that was the intention but the devs never managed to put it together, not until the third game I think, and that one is a bit of a forgotten disaster. They did bring it back a bit with the fourth, but it's much shorter and has a huge tone shift in general so I would hardly call it as part of the "franchise". Highly recommend them, they're really great once you look past the initial jankieness.
This game was also one of the first to use DirectX 10, along with STALKER Clear Sky. It had that weird glass refracting, just like STALKER, and much like STALKER, one of the first instances of godrays. And these two games were the only ones to do volumetric godrays, instead of a garbanzo filter that became a cheap and easy substitute in subsequent 8 years or so. I can count actual, real godrays on the fingers of one palm, and that would be this game, STALKER, GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2 and I think Far Cry 2. Maybe The Last Of Us, but that game has very precisely crafted environments in a very linear progression so they could just be hand made rather than simulated. I think also Metro 2033 did a little bit but that was in specific lighting conditions as there wasn't all that much sun in the game to begin with. Most all other games just didn't bother and created illusions to fake godrays rather than actually render them the way they would exist. With the exception of some big budget games or some very clever ones, god rays wouldn't really be utilized until RTX started getting a hold that they slowly begun to return, as RTX essentially renders them already in order to trace the rays, so making them pop is more a question of choice rather than dedicated work. I love godrays. No game does them better than STALKER though. The first game to ever have them, and its the one that nailed them completely and hasn't been bested since. Wild.
No, Bound in Blood is abysmal. Incredible potential, though. Could have been much better. But nowadays, if you want an open-world game like that, you might as well play RDR2. Gunslinger is an incredible arcade FPS though.
This game series was the first one to get me into the whole western genre when I was younger, something which I'm very grateful for, but yeah I have no fucking clue how anyone thought this was a Call of Duty game
I was blown away when I first saw these graphics because it was my first game with Pixel Shader 3.0. The trees and leaves cast real-time shadows, a cowboy wild west setting. This game has just a relaxing-chilled vibe and music when playing as Billy. The blue color tone adds a great atmospheric presentation to it.
I know it's an old game on an very old engine (Chrome engine 3) but I love this graphics so much. Everything in this version of the engine looks very clean and pleasing to look at (at least for me) The new versions of this engine look kinda washed out to me and the ragdolls don't feel so good anymore. If anyone is curious: they were developing and open world single player modern shooter in that same engine but the game was cancelled unfortunately - It was called Warhound and there are some clips and trailer on youtube. It's interesting stuff - sometimes I wish these new "retro shooters" could make something like these instead of going all pixelated with no physics (I know it's the point of "retro" but still).
Also: the very first version of the Dead Island game was using this engine in a very early early early alpha - there are some screenshots and a trailer of it. They even used some character models from this game there (placeholder probably but it was there)
I think part of the retro push lately and I mean the pixilated 8 and 16 bit stuff is due to COVID lockdowns and games being made from home by studios. We're still recovering as gamers from that
Thanks for highlighting this game. The game looked good, and the entire Call of Juarez bundle also happened to be on sale at the moment on Steam for only about $8, which is quite a bargain for 3 games.
I remember reviews were slightly positive upon its first release. Some people even making fun of the fact that it was a game made from Polish developers. Those reviewers are definitely eating their words now seeing as how far Poland has advanced gaming in the last decade. Ubisoft was trying to make publish unique FPS games at the time. King Kong and Call of Juarez chief among them. Both of them highly underrated. The game was refreshing in how you played two different characters with different abilities, and how their stories crossed paths at times. Techland improved almost everything in Bound in Blood. The first FPS game to have a "pop up from cover" aiming system. Gunslinger is the masterpiece of the series. Cool art design. Impeccable gun mechanics. A blast to play. The less we talk about "The Cartel"...the better.
I'm polish and I remember that time when polish games weren't good. They often received better treatment in press just because they were made in Poland. Games like Painkiller, Call of Juarez and Witcher started to change things around. Then when Witcher 3 came out there was no need to add points to score just for patriotic reasons. Now polish games are in top league and it is something that I dreamt of when I was a kid. And honestly I don't get making fun of developers country. I mean yeah it may seems weird that some Poles are making game about cowboys and wild west, but on the other hand Czechs made game about mafia set in 1930s America and it was great.
Great video bro, you deserve more. Call of juarez is my favourite game. You also try call of juarez bound in blood, the prescuel of this game, when ray is younger
Dude, you HAVE to try Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. It's exactly what a western movie should be. Has absurd and unrealistic shootouts, a whacky cast and a story about revenge. It's just perfect. Gameplay wise, seems to be a little... smoother... than the title you played on this here video.
Let me see if I understood this. They are going to pay any townsperson a half hour of loving with Suzy for free if they take him down because he got a freebie with Suzy? Why not just let him go and call it a wash at that point because they were willing to have Suzy give 2 freebies if successful.
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a very enjoyable game with good storytelling (literally). But I also heard that other parts of the series aren't nearly as enjoyable
I remember playing this game when i bought my first "pc gamer" with my first paycheck around 2007 or so. At the time i though that was the most realistic and beautiful game humanity would ever create. The controls are clumsy and the gameplay is a mess, but i loved this game. Finished the campaing a hundred times, spent entire weekends playing multiplayer, but the much i loved it i can't play it nowadays and can't figure out WHY do i loved it so much.
i kinda wish you would complete some of the games you play. but i guess thats what makes your channel unique and have a wide variety of games. still, it would be cool to see you play a game once a year until completion or something
@@jayveeeee yea, its gotta suck not being able to play what you want sometimes, especially since you built your channel based around your current uploading framework. maybe, create a second channel for longer form and less edited vids for continuing playthroughs for games that you might not revisit in the future? idk just a thought as i know once you start a gaming channel and you're job requires you to play games, it can feel more like an obligation and become less fun.
i've definitely thought about making a second channel, yeah! the idea for me is that variety is the spice of life -- i download and play 2-4 hours of a LOT of games. that keeps things fresh and exciting for viewers. but it also means they don't get to see more of the games they want to see more of. also i have this "youtube brain" where if i see views are not high on a video, i lose interest in posting that game. so when all of my videos are like "part 1" of a let's play, that means i can easily switch and do a different game. it's sort of baked in as a safety net. what keeps me from making the second channel is that right now i already feel overwhelmed. i'm barely handling my schedule on this channel as is :/ right now i'm going through this phase of not really enjoying what i'm doing. i take this job so seriously and it's hard for me to just let go and have fun. i think i was still enjoying the format when i made this call of juarez video, but yeah not as much on my recent vids. the tough thing is people can definitely tell. but i'm hardwired to push through and keep making content even when i'm not enjoying it. ANYWAYS i'm not sure you were expecting this long comment, but thanks for taking the time to reply! i really appreciate it :)
@@jayveeeee yeah no problem, man and i understand where you're coming from. viewership for games can be volatile making hard to predict. luckily you have a pretty active subs, so maybe incorporate a feedback loop like polls and questions on your community page? if a game you enjoyed did well, consider making a series format like an episode sporadically, but not too much so that you still have a variety of games uploaded. idk, just some suggestions. i had a gaming channel that has had some pretty good views and was in a full game, part 1-# format. i enjoyed it at first, but then when i would pick up a game that i didn't enjoy, it felt like a chore, which is a horrible feeling when playing a video game. it led me to burnout and slow down on uploads. your current format is not only a safeguard for your viewers but also your personal wellbeing, and i enjoy it. though it would be cool to see you experience full games, i also like what you have going on now as they always make me wanna try out the games myself, more than other youtubers do. i don't mind the long comment either, im the king of writing long comments and always enjoy talking to youtubers i watch and also appreciate the creator-to-viewer transparency haha. best of luck in overcoming the obstacles you're facing right now!
I played this game recently, it's... interesting, and also a huge mixed bag. You have these huge environments that are really impressive but also kind of flat and empty, a gunplay that's pretty janky but really fun at times, weird segments that feel fresh but aren't very well implemented overall... I'm glad it exists and I'm looking forward to play the sequels, but it's not really something I'll replay or recommend.
I played a bit of Bound in Blood and it was really fun. I've also played through Gunslinger several times and cannot recommend it enough. Both really solid games that deserve at least a try.
@@samueldobie6192 I've only heard good things about Gunslinger, so I'm looking forward to it. Bound in Blood has a bit of a mixed reputation apparently, but still, it will be another chance to play as Reverend Ray.
same. I was playing on hard difficulty and honestly the ENTIRE intro section is LUCK based. No rhyme or reason you just got to run and dodge the best you can and hope they allow you to pass. And as soon as I finally manage to do it after several attempts the game crashes.
The preacher Ray is one of the two brothers (both the main characters) from the second game "bound in blood"... But it takes place before he becomes a preacher.
Just letting you know I enjoyed this, as you asked in the end of yhe video 😁 Waiting for more. And immidiately after this game, play CoJ Bound in Blood. You will like it even more.
I found call of Juarez gunslinger on steam and found it was free so I ended up trying to just for fun one afternoon and ended up playing through a good half of the game
I found this game on the Xbox store scrolled down and saw a thing that said it came with dying light then I found out tech land made this game same poeple as dead island and dying light
believe it or not the same studio who makes Dying Light made these games 👀

Sometimes the comments hit better than the video. This is an example.

@@jayveeeee yeah no problem, man and i understand where you're coming from. viewership for games can be volatile making hard to predict. luckily you have a pretty active subs, so maybe incorporate a feedback loop like polls and questions on your community page? if a game you enjoyed did well, consider making a series format like an episode sporadically, but not too much so that you still have a variety of games uploaded. idk, just some suggestions. i had a gaming channel that has had some pretty good views and was in a full game, part 1-# format. i enjoyed it at first, but then when i would pick up a game that i didn't enjoy, it felt like a chore, which is a horrible feeling when playing a video game. it led me to burnout and slow down on uploads. your current format is not only a safeguard for your viewers but also your personal wellbeing, and i enjoy it. though it would be cool to see you experience full games, i also like what you have going on now as they always make me wanna try out the games myself, more than other youtubers do. i don't mind the long comment either, im the king of writing long comments and always enjoy talking to youtubers i watch and also appreciate the creator-to-viewer transparency haha. best of luck in overcoming the obstacles you're facing right now!
Just bought this at games and junk Sault Ste. Marie Canada 🇨🇦 13.99 awesome find.
Hope they come back to the Juarez series again, always loved these.
I played this game recently, it's... interesting, and also a huge mixed bag. You have these huge environments that are really impressive but also kind of flat and empty, a gunplay that's pretty janky but really fun at times, weird segments that feel fresh but aren't very well implemented overall... I'm glad it exists and I'm looking forward to play the sequels, but it's not really something I'll replay or recommend.
I played a bit of Bound in Blood and it was really fun. I've also played through Gunslinger several times and cannot recommend it enough. Both really solid games that deserve at least a try.
@@samueldobie6192 I've only heard good things about Gunslinger, so I'm looking forward to it. Bound in Blood has a bit of a mixed reputation apparently, but still, it will be another chance to play as Reverend Ray.
same. I was playing on hard difficulty and honestly the ENTIRE intro section is LUCK based. No rhyme or reason you just got to run and dodge the best you can and hope they allow you to pass. And as soon as I finally manage to do it after several attempts the game crashes.
I thought call of juarez: the cartel was alright
The preacher Ray is one of the two brothers (both the main characters) from the second game "bound in blood"... But it takes place before he becomes a preacher.
Call of Juarez bound in blood was AMAZING!!!
God this is actually a really fun game. I absolutely adore the Call of Juarez games.
the story in this game was lowkey amazing, gunslingers to indians, shootouts and duels, bows and arrows
this man revisiting all my childhood games
if you haven't played this game.go for it . bound in blood is a must play
i played the last call of juarez this summer and it was so good, please try it
this was cutting edge back in the day
I still play that game still fun as hell part 2 is badass too
This was one of the games I always wanted to try but I never got around to it but soon I'll definitely be playing them
0:05 Call of Whoarés
on Xbox this game has the achievement called the religious man were you confused 44 enemies by reading the Bible
Wait for some more folks to tell him that the bible can sorta stun and scare enemies
Fun Fact: This is where the Gunslinger bundle in Dying Light 2 comes from
the guy sounds like "no, i dont want that" talking orange
I liked that bullet time mechanic. I thought it was well done when I played.
The 2nd one is so much fun. I absolutely loved that one
I remember when I first played this game I thought the graphics were phenomenal.
When I was little I thought this was cowboy call of duty
This is a awesome game loved it, obviously the graphics looks bad now but so what? Back then it wasn't
for 2006 game, this game graphic was a quite decent at that time
COJ was my childhood, one of the first shooters I was allowed to play and boy did I played it!
I had forgotten about this game, I really enjoyed it when it came out was pretty fun
I don't know if Suzy's pimp qualifies as an Innocent person lol
I remember playing this game. So good
At least that's the way I remember them
Never once in my life has the thought "Is call of juarez call of duty" ever came across my mind. Thats a different breed of stupid.
I can imagine this was one of those games your parents will buy for you after you asked for Call Of Duty
Was waiting for him to discover quick save
The boxes where to put over to create balance, not under 😆😆
Loved this game years ago...
Just letting you know I enjoyed this, as you asked in the end of yhe video 😁
Waiting for more. And immidiately after this game, play CoJ Bound in Blood. You will like it even more.
Giving me crazy flashbacks from when I was a kid
I used to play the demo multiple times. Always wished I had the full game!
You do not need to tell me this was a PC game from 2006. I don’t know what it is but the graphic style just screams “PC game from 2006”
Call of Juarez Gunslinger is amazing. Never played the others, but I loved that game.
Man was about to get tipped off, damn.
You're right about Billy sounding a whole lot like you.
18:24 the revouver just exploded lol
If she says he's "grown" wouldn't that mean the last time she saw "it" he was still growing ??😭
this is the game of my childhood.
Why are u bashing on the graphics, game looks amazing for 2006.
This game has that distinctive look of everything being in 1.5x scale so the AI path finding has an easier time.
This game was the best on line multiplay game. But today no servers at all...That'
s too bad-(
I found call of Juarez gunslinger on steam and found it was free so I ended up trying to just for fun one afternoon and ended up playing through a good half of the game
I genuinely thought before playing this, that it was a call of duty parody
I remember this game, was actually pretty cool.
I found this game on the Xbox store scrolled down and saw a thing that said it came with dying light then I found out tech land made this game same poeple as dead island and dying light
I'm pretty sure you're referring to Call of Juarez Gunslinger, a much more recent (and better) title
I think Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is the only game in the series worth playing.
I found your channel via old fallout 4 vids and now I’m watching this very goofy thing
This game still looks more fun than the newest cod vangard.
CoJ and CoJ Bound in Blood were amazing.
I heavily recommend bound in blood,it’s great. And a prequel to the game you played
play Jericho next!
Its basically red dead vs vampires
I remember having this game, but I don’t remember playing it
