When you find out lionhead did not make fable but instead basically consumed the studio that was making it and the peter took credit for everything thus becoming the face of fable by default
No one ever talks about Saint's Row 4. I really like how weird and off the wall it was. Granted, you didn't need cars because you could run and fly, but that was part of the fun. You had super powers.
Same!
3:41 You mean to tell me, that Scott “My music tastes are 100% inspired by early 2000s WWE PPV themes and THPS just like me” Tailford was ALSO a bmx fan?! I don’t believe you lol.
Eternal Darkness by Silicon Knights will always be on my list. Such a good game.
As a Jamaican I remember playing The Getaway and coming into the Jamaican gang territory and hearing the music and the people actually speaking Patois with actual curse words. It blew me and my brothers minds. Then we shot out one speaker and the audio would go mono, until shooting the other speaker the music would cut off completely. The game was revolutionary at the time with all it's mechanics and attention to detail.
Jackie Chan’s Stuntmaster! One of the best brawlers on the Ps1. I know what game you’re talking about my friend! ☝️😎
I bought Web of Shadows for Wii at just $9.99US. It wasn't that long ago either. I remember playing it on PS3 and couldn't finish it because it was so broken the world would stop loading textures and I got stuck in the air and couldn't move. I finished it on both Xbox 360 and Wii, though.
I'm digging this kind of list format. Please do more. ❤️
Will always remember getting halfway through The Getaway and getting stuck on a shoot out cause I didn't know there was a healing mechanic where you rest against the wall.
Wish God Hand and the Viewtiful Joe games get remastered and released on modern platforms.
Viewtiful Joe would work incredibly well on Switch. Right kind of pick up play, put console to sleep and come back later gameplay.
@@Bman32x yeah. Switch is also my preferred way to play those games again if they get officially ported.
Good picks my dude.
The Scarface game is great.
Evil within is one of my all time favorite franchises. Such a cool concept.
The most innovative thing about The Walking Dead for me was that I played it on my iPad. It was pefect as a touch-screen mobile game. The choices u get to make added to the replay value so I ended up replaying it on my PS4. Amazing game series, tho I’ve yet to play the final season, will soon get around to that eventually as I do actually own it
Second season of The Walking Dead is my fav so far tho
Saints row 2 was easily my favorite. The dialogue, missions, villains all of it was just insanely fun to play.
Rip Carlos
The fact Theme park and Theme Hospital was mentioned not only shows your alls true depth of play but knowledge, it also reminds me of my childhood as i was CLUELESS but addicted to those titles alongside Final Doom ,Twisted Metal, MGS and others. Which, I own still, all those games for the PS1 and then some :)
And Timesplitters, LORD, that series was a top tier one for PS2 esp the map editor, i'd dedicate hours to making my own maps/missions and then the arcade mode and allllll those settings you could apply. My mother even loved playing that game and she rarely played any games!
So glad Psy Ops was mentioned. Easily my favorite game that no one I know played or had even heard of. Like you said I cannot comprehend how we have not gotten another game like that of "this is the Havok physics engine here are some bad guys have fun."
This was one of you guys best videos!!! I loved every single game mentioned on the list!!! Great choices guys!!
That Godfather game was great too.
I appreciate you taking time to pay homage to the studios that created our gaming past. Nostalgia glasses aside, I miss the time when studios could throw anything at the wall to see if it stuck. With the costs and politics of the gaming industry the way they are now and going forward, I don't think we will ever again see big studios given creative liberty to make wacky, or inventive games, or create new risky I.P.s because it won't be profitable to stray too far from the proven formula. I am glad I got to experience that era firsthand.
Bullfrog....Theme park
Bitmap brothers.....The chaos engine
You forgot the Descent series from what was initially Parallax Software.
Saints Row 2 is my absolute fav of the series, and for me I actually preferred it to GTA IV when it came out cause it’s the right balance of wacky fun yet still grounded and plausible storytelling. The sequels got too wild for me and the prequel was too bland.
My ranking would go:
1. Saints Row 2
2. Saints Row 3
3. Saints Row
4. Saints Row 4
5. Saints Row Gat Out of Hell
I kept thinking Origin Systems, Monolith, and Sierra/Dynamix would have made this list, but they weren’t “indie” studios as defined today.
Matt Hoffman's pro BMX was so effing good. I almost forgot how much time I spent on that as a child. Thank you for reminding me.
I didn't know Future Cop: LAPD was by the same dev as Dead Space 2. Wow. I loved both games, so that's pretty cool.
Binary Domain is a game i think needs a lot more love.
Wakeboard Unleashed was tons of fun. Tons of memories playing that as a kid
there are tons of indie games where you can play as a wolf, fox, other animal. Lost Ember, The First Tree, Endling, Shelter, Spirit of the North...and so on
Absolutely love Prey, can't stop playing it
"A thousand people have unsubscribed" got me good.
Everyone always mentions Tony hawk and Dave mirra. My favorite game of that genre was aggressive inline. Tony hawk on rollerblades, game had a banger soundtrack too and I'm not in to rock.
Saints row and saints row 2 are both so good I wish they got more love. It’s a shame to see what the franchise devolved into
I just found copys of The incredible hulk,Avatar the game,Deadpool,and The green lantern movie game for my ps3 and iv been having a FN blast
Here are the games I want either, remake, remastered, or rebooted:
Def Jam: Fight for New York, Army Of Two, Fight Night, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Need 4 Speed 1, Underground, Most Wanted, all .Hacks, all Shadow Hearts, all Xenosagas, Bloody Omen, Soul Reaver, Street Fighter EX3 Mega Man Legends 1,2,&3, Fatal Fury, Art Of Fighting, Marvel vs SNK. I will spend a whole month's salary for these games.
Never heard of marvel vs snk
@sargetyu it's pretty much exactly like Marvel Vs Capcom, just replace the Capcom roster with the SNK roster.
22:07 tbh MY favourite season of TWD telltale is the last one s4. I Loved seeing the dynamic between AJ and Clem and teaching AJ to be a good person (although u can choose but I always chose to have Aj regret what he did no spoilers) Also WE GET TO HAVE A DOG IN S4! Rosie's such a good girl and I like the play on sterotypes by having Clem be scared of dogs because in s2 (i think?) she was attacked by the golden retriever/lab a dog that's normally known for being friendly and then Rosie is a pitbull which is known to not be friendly and she acts hostile towards u at first but u can win her over. Note in order to get FULL Rosie ownership visit the school's graveyard where Marlon and the others are buried as this is how u convince Rosie to like u.
I have a copy of scarface still..kept it for years..is it worth anything?
Fantastic game
I’ll personally never get over Pandemic Games being shut down. Made so many favs of mine.
I remember having the demo for Punisher On Xbox the Piranha Scene uncensored was crazy.
I love this style of list you should do it more often!
I absolutely love Saints Row 1 and 2. 3 was fun. Gat outta Hell, playing as Gat was awesome.
Web of shadows is still one of the greatest Spider-Man games of all time
I wish they would make another Project Snowblind. That game was fun.
I'll never forget when I was 10 going to Toys R Us with my dad to get Primal because I played the demo and loved it, only for my dad not to get it because a worker told me and my dad how it was a crap game and not to waste his money. Only to see a decade later how much of a great game it actually was.
Stop holding bloodborne hostage, Sony!
Jet Moto 2: SingleTrac/989 Studios, the franchise never gets the love that F-Zero or Wipeout gets.
Bullfrog was a great studio back in the day
Scarface : The World is Yours
I still have my copy of Psyops: The Mindgate Conspiracy incase they ever make it backwards compatible for the Xbox
I'm getting that wakeboarding game asap
Yall should do another list of great games from studies who don’t make those kind of games anymore - im thinking of xmen legends and marvel ultimate alliance as being such amazing games that we cant enjoy anymore
I’m surprised The Suffering wasn’t mentioned
The best games ended in underground, looking at you THUG 2, but I also did like THAW despite no one Else seeming to lol
Maxis and Sim Tower/Sim City. Westwood for Tiberium Sun
Dead Rising 2 by Capcom Vancouver and TimeSplitters Future Perfect by Free Radical are my two picks. Scott mentioned the games Pandemic made and didn't mention Destroy All Hymans or Destroy All Humans 2 and that is unacceptable.
I bought Spider man Web of shadows for 40$ recently and I thought it was expensive
"Telekinetic third person shooter"
I got good news for ya! Control might be what you're looking for.
There is also the Destroy All Humans! games.
I will always mention DEF JAM: The Takeover
Gonna write this while i remember (they may mention it later) but, Vigil Games! Darksiders
Psygnosis? Shadow Of The Beast, Wipeout, Colony Wars.
How bout a "Once great studios destroyed by an EA buyout, their games b4 and after" vid?
Does Scott have a tick for saying "shout out"?
Might make a drinking game outta it.
Rollerdrone is in my top 5 forever.
MGS V TPP
technically it ended the Kojima Konami era
Blood and truth is amazing. I've put so many hours that.
What about Dillon's Rolling Western?
Control did what Psy-ops did, in a way. Play that
The bad thing with Telltale was the episodes were supposed to be monthly and never really were.
What an incredible list, and super thoughtful for the people who made these games. This channel keeps getting better and better. I love it.
Everything or Nothing is amazing.
Is CRAVE still around? I remember they made a Snowmobile game that was really fun on the PS1. I knew nothing about Snowmobiles, but that game was one of the funnest racing games.
Saints Row 2 was my top.
3 or 4 went too much into being twisted over a good competition to GTA.
The newest Saints Row wasn't great, bit I enjoyed it.
Simpsons hit and run is goated
my favorite saints row games are definitely the first 2 out of the series
No 3DO and Heroes Might and Magic 3?
Finally some Stuntmaster love
Really not gonna mention Syphon Filter from 989 studios? For shame!
I just want Bloodborne to come to PC, and Tony Hawk's Underground is the GOAT of the series. Everyone talks about Pro Skater 2, but for me, the depth of the character creator and the storyline of you and your jerk friend who's trying to steal all your accomplishments so he can be famous. It's just so good.
Looking Glass Studios
If notice all these games they mention where either niche games or licensed games.
That Jackie Chan shout out caught me off guard, literally never heard anyone else speak about that game. A proper little gem from my childhood.
I can't pick a favorite Saints Row, I love them all (besides the newest one, but I wouldn't really call it a Saints Row game).
The third Age was the only turned based I liked too
When he pull out his 3rd leg
Crystal dynamics
There’s more shoutouts in this one video than a DJ at a 90’s hip-hop station.
Does Scott ever breathe?
If they can remake the spongebob game they can remake the simpsons
Saints 4 for me.
I love FAble and hope the new one can help save Xbox.
You guys ragged on Web of Shadows big time when it was out, as did a lot of reviewers and they were all wrong. It was such a great game.
Sony Cambridge; where's my Ghost Hunter fans at?
Hello? Link wolf?
Prototype 2. Story . Garbage. Gameplay peak. The only game that felt like a proper evolution on hulk unleashed. Miss those days
The original saints row to me will always be the epitome of the series, back when it was still a faux GTA with a good sense of humor before it went over the top into silly, the original did the balance correctly, they lost that starting in the second.
Requiescat in pace
this video has made me realise modern gaming is basically dead to me
Wait now just one moment, did I hear you say EA bought another game company and then gutted it by grabbing all the good programmers and putting them on EA projects while leaving barely a skeleton crew to create and maintain games they are or have produced, AGAIN ?? Does this make it the 20th time they did this or is it more ?
Come on now, including EA should just be a list of companies they’ll done it to this year and then go on to the next. They only know one song and they play it on repeat.
Wow can what culture not put time codes in. FFS. Sometimes people don't have the time. But keep up the Hubris.
Hi-Fi RUSH was good, but The Evil Within 2 was a very disappointing sequel. The first game had way better atmosphere, art direction, boss fights and writing.
Yes! I keep getting yelled at that as a story it made no sense but it was more fun trying to piece things together rather than 2's exposition dumps that it would do every couple hours. I love both but 2 lost a lot of the horror aspects I liked.
Sleeping Dogs
