Doubt that would ever happen. If I recall correctly, the IP is tied up under several studios and nobody seems to know who has the rights... Guess they don't care to find out either.
It's amazing how that Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 is still the "mother of all joysticks" after 20 years in sim flying gaming. Great piece of hardware right there.
I agree.. but I am Very Old... I do not use WASD I use Home Keys. I have since the beginning. In the very beginning... we used Home Keys. I Still do. I can reach more alt/fn/ctrl/ or what ever keys that way.. Thumbs Down forever! (Being honest never pays!).
No one's commenting about Hitman: Codename 47? Superb game especially for its time, albeit somewhat buggy. Such a shame they didn't even show the core gameplay.
ah the first hit-man game looks so primitive compared to a modern game how I missed those old games like that they were sweet to play and had impressive graphics at the time they were new
AirScholar - the Voodoo line were technically graphics cards as the Transform and Lighting was still done on the CPU, they didn't start calling 3D cards "GPUs" until Nvidia released the GeForce line in '99 that included a Transform and Lighting unit on the GPU itself, moving this expensive operation over to the graphics card. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit "The term GPU was popularized by Nvidia in 1999, who marketed the GeForce 256 as "the world's first GPU", or Graphics Processing Unit.[2] It was presented as a "single-chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines".[3] Rival ATI Technologies coined the term "visual processing unit" or VPU with the release of the Radeon 9700 in 2002.[4]" Also, TC specifically mentioned "sub 60 FPS", which was largely the standard for 3D graphics until the late 90's.
Seriously, I know his mantra was brevity to keep marketing drones from going on and on about their product, but it sometimes feels like he's just rushing through things. Then again, this show was always about giving just a broad overview of a topic, and not really getting into too many specifics.
That guy that showed Hitman made a big mistake starting from the beginning of the game. Or not jumping farther ahead quick. He didn't really get to show what the game was about. Maybe he thought he'd have more time? Big mistake.
I'm from the UK and I loved PC building back in 2000 well I got interested in it and didn't make my own till 2002/3 but the world was amazing with what you can buy etc.. Though their was some rubbish you could also buy as well, but it was more fun back then I don't know why But go back to the early days of this show and see how technology has gone forward
26:14 I had one of those-or a very similar model. I originally bought it to work with an Apple Mac, and was gratified to find it had good Linux driver support, too. On second thoughts, I think mine was the 900, not the 980. It certainly didn’t have double-sided printing capability.
I remember when NFL and NBA 2K1 came out. I remember some people actually bought the Dreamcast specifically for one or the other. It sold almost as well as Madden 2001 for a while. When Sega announced the demise of the DC, sales of the games and the consoles literally died almost immediately.
I have played Quake and Quake II which were my favorite first person fighting games, but I wasn't able to find Quake III Arena when it was available on sell.
Even if kids aren't playing those games, its only their parent's fault. We don't need a mandate that strictly regulates children playing video games like they have going on in China.
Sadly games lineup was their biggest failure, Sega was pumping way too much money into marketing arcade conversions. People wanted to play more advanced games. Metal Gear Solid on PS1 came out the same year as Dreamcast, meanwhile Sega was trying to sell us another Daytona and other "run around in circles until the timer runs out" crap.
Their online capabilities were just ahead of the time and couldn't capitalize on that market. Although it was fairly common for PC gaming, it was still not the norm for console gaming.
Wow red alert and doom that was the bomb when I was in school when I was young it seems years earlier people acted more mature and professional has anyone notice from the old pass shows
Lol, that was a terrible argument that kids playing violent games wasn't a concern because computers cost a lot of money, since violent games were on consoles too. Not to mention that most kids probably had computers in their homes as well in 2000. I had a friend whose stepdad let him play Hitman and me watching.
Well, that was true till maybe around 2020. Now people get banned, or at least chat banned, left and right if they say unapproved stuff. Basically anything degenerate or vulgar is ok, but anything political, or opposed to degeneracy, is not.
7:31 I took a job over winter break at Toys R Us for a few weeks to get early access to my PS2 and I loved it, my fav console after SNES. Never trust a guy in a turtle neck
Lol, the same was said back then. In fact, countless gaming magazines worldwide already started to cry around 1994 that there were no more new ideas, that all the companies care about is money, that everybody just does sequels and games get released in broken, unfinished states. And "all they care about is graphics" was also a thing as far back as 1994, the prime example being one of the worst games of all time: Rise of the Robots, 90% of the work time was spent on those SVGA graphics and rendered cutscenes. Later you had games like Quake, which really was more a engine showcase than a proper game, especially compared to Duke Nukem 3D. Then you had crap like Incoming, which really only sold because of its graphics and let's not forget that people wasted a mountain of money on 3DFX cards because "wow! graphics!" In that regard, nothing has really changed. Except that nowdays 80% of all indie develeopers reverted back to the 80's and do lame NES-Style games
Really great games for the most part they are showing. Hitman a genre maker, RA2 classic, NOLF didn't get the praise but a really solid comedy/fps , Sacrifice really went under the radar but a revolutionary comedy/rts/godgame. Quake 3 as was Q2 (and Q1) was a great engine exhibition and a great classical RTS with a shitload of mods. And obviously the granddaddy of success stories when it comes to mods Counter Strike.
@@psychoticgiraffe Lol no, the game already ran perfectly fine on a 300 MHz Pentium 2, which was quite outdated. Heck it even ran on ATI Rage cards, something not a lot of games from 1999 or 2000 did (Unreal Tournament was a stuttery mess in comparison)
when quake 3 came out I needed a geforce 2 ultra to run it at a reasonable framerate, I mean, yeah it will run on a potato system but to actually get reasonable FPS even close to 60 fps(I didn't even get this at the time, like 45 fps) at 1024x768 you needed a good p3 and a good video card, like top of the line at the time card;@@ShadowAngel1860 I actually recall higher FPS when I was doing unreal tournament 99
where is the episode that features Half Life 1? i have been searching the internet high and low for that one episode, and i have yet to find it! stewart even says they featured the original half life about 2 years ago! grrrrr! i have to meet stewart before he dies.
Misunderstanding. They are talking about "counter strike" here not a '"new version of halflife" as stewart says. CS was based on halflife 1.. aka "the original" that they showed 2 years ago.
from wikipedia : "Twitch gameplay is a type of video gameplay scenario that tests a player's response time. Action games such as shooters, sports, multiplayer online battle arena, and fighting games often contain elements of twitch gameplay." Games like space invaders, CSGO
Theres no big revolution in games graphics until now. Sure, now The graphic is evolutionary more sophisticated and more "accurate" with bigger resolutuon, but still far from photorealism, which was shamlessly declared by gamedevs since 90s....
No One Lives Forever 1 and 2 were amazingly awesome games and desperately need remakes!
Doubt that would ever happen. If I recall correctly, the IP is tied up under several studios and nobody seems to know who has the rights... Guess they don't care to find out either.
Why do they need remakes?
It's amazing how that Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 is still the "mother of all joysticks" after 20 years in sim flying gaming. Great piece of hardware right there.
I found one at a goodwill last year. lol I really scored.
I still have mine here and use it for FSX. No forces anymore.
Wow, it's Thresh, we all owe WASD to him.
I agree.. but I am Very Old... I do not use WASD I use Home Keys. I have since the beginning. In the very beginning... we used Home Keys. I Still do. I can reach more alt/fn/ctrl/ or what ever keys that way.. Thumbs Down forever! (Being honest never pays!).
I've never used those keys in my life. Arrow keys all the way!
SEGA guy, "Get a Dreamcast, forgot the PS2." Aged like milk.
Sad really. The dreamcast was dope. But they should've waited. But then we may not have gotten the og Xbox.
No one's commenting about Hitman: Codename 47? Superb game especially for its time, albeit somewhat buggy. Such a shame they didn't even show the core gameplay.
The opponent when he selected the clippers in 2K1 LMAO. "clippers lol"
We went from CS and Quake III to a laser printer in light speed
imagine booting up an online game with unrestricted text chat on live tv today lol. wild
Great time, I had PS1 and N64 in 2000, my dream in that time is a Dreamcast 🤣
pure nostalgia
ah the first hit-man game looks so primitive compared to a modern game how I missed those old games like that they were sweet to play and had impressive graphics at the time they were new
it was really fun to watch. good old times...
Imagine that guy watching his gameplay in Computer Chronicles or even in youtube. haha! Must feel like a star!
Which guy?
Nvidia and ATI would soon deliver us from sub-60FPS framerates. 2001 would become a good years for PC graphics.
3DFX offered consumer GPUs in 1996.
AirScholar - the Voodoo line were technically graphics cards as the Transform and Lighting was still done on the CPU, they didn't start calling 3D cards "GPUs" until Nvidia released the GeForce line in '99 that included a Transform and Lighting unit on the GPU itself, moving this expensive operation over to the graphics card.

Also, TC specifically mentioned "sub 60 FPS", which was largely the standard for 3D graphics until the late 90's.
Very underated machine the Dreamcast. In my opinion it was beter machine than PS2
Lets review 10 games for 10 seconds. GO!
Didnt mentioned NOLF gadgets :D

That's true also for C&C Red Alert 2. He should have showed the gameplay, not the intro of the mission.

He's definitely a sociopath.
Ye displayed all the characteristics.. He has a face.. And talks.. Clearly a sociopath

no way this counter-strike thing catches on..
23 years and 1.2 million players later...
Dreamcast had so much potential but the market just wasn't there and that was the end for Sega hardware.
Sadly games lineup was their biggest failure, Sega was pumping way too much money into marketing arcade conversions. People wanted to play more advanced games. Metal Gear Solid on PS1 came out the same year as Dreamcast, meanwhile Sega was trying to sell us another Daytona and other "run around in circles until the timer runs out" crap.
I love the Dreamcast.
I would get Dreamcast for Phantasy Star Online.
Too many sports games. Not enough everything else. Plus the PS2 buried it the day it retailed.
Their online capabilities were just ahead of the time and couldn't capitalize on that market. Although it was fairly common for PC gaming, it was still not the norm for console gaming.
Wow red alert and doom that was the bomb when I was in school when I was young it seems years earlier people acted more mature and professional has anyone notice from the old pass shows
SEGA should release the server-side code for these 2k games. people would def still play them. I play PSO on dreamcast alsmot every night still.
Ah man I wanted to see that Phantasy Star Demo!
1:14 I went to this website and guess what. It's still 90's style! hahahhaa

Can't wait for the new Nvidia 2 Go. Is gonna be awesome!
Bummer dude, that was the worst possible demonstration for Red Alert 2
Gameplay was so much better back then.
Now all they care about is Graphics it seems
