ONE BIT I TOTALLY FORGOT TO PUT IN THE VIDEO! The artbook says that Cy was just meant to be a joke reference to Metal Sonic, which I guess explains why they don't follow up on it as a cliffhangar. It wasn't meant to imply a second game as much as it was just a silly bonus clip, my guess.
Nice video! May I suggest a game for you to review? Please please please review Mario and the Music box! It's someone's attempt to put the Mario characters into an RPG horror game and to me it's REALLY good. I really enjoyed it. And I'd love to see what you think of it.
Nitro Rad is one of the last game reviewer that i know, that hasn't completely abandoned the game review part for a sketch and story. And knowing how much nitro love doing thoses, i appreciate it.
@@jrsomethingnumbers9704 Aww I love Komodo dragons...at least real ones. Then again I have several species of monitors and a red tegu so maybe im just biased, lol. Seriously tho, if youve ever wanted a dog with no hair but the same intelligence.....get a monitor. My boy's even potty trained.
I love it so much how they didn't just forget that Ty has a family and you can actually visit his parents and even brother. They could've just made up some excuse as to why they are not in this game, especially Sly, he could've just go off on his own adventure since he's presented as a lone too cool for school guy. Instead they put them all in the game as an impostant part of gameplay, tht's so neat. And Sly settling down to become a boomerang merchant is unironically adorable
I love that the developers reached out to Nitro Rad personally to let him know that they took his reviews and feedback into consideration. That, to me, is the mark of a good game maker. 👍
Heck they even optimized these better for the Switch than a certain Switch version of a platformer starring a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea (Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse)
Funnily enough, the mud DID serve a purpose in the original, it actually slowed you down enough so that the next area would load. That was one of the big goals for Krome was to have almost no loading screens, so sometimes they had to implement stuff like that to fulfill it.
@@cthulusushi1118 it's just a silly pose i've always done with prop guns since highschool, both the Lisa the Hopeful bit, and this snake pose are both based on it lol
Fun fact actually, the mud and sand sections that slowed you down DID serve a purpose in the original. According to the developers, the mud was meant to slow the player and serve as a makeshift loading screen between areas. Because the consoles of the generation couldn't load the rest of the map on the fly, the mud and sand would slow you to a crawl so the parts of the map you were headed towards could load in. Now that the re-release is on more modern hardware, the rest of the map loads in while driving at normal speed, so the slow effect was removed.
@Ahmed Malaki remaster is a bit of a stretch. It was emulation. I say garbage cause it has stage lighting issues and really bad frame pacing. Sometimes it would be 60, other times it would around the 20s. It's not good
Even though I have the Ty series on Steam, I pre ordered the Ty HD Bundle for Switch just to keep it as a collection and to help support the series cause I think after Krome does the Ty 3 HD we need a new 3D Ty game.
I don't know how to categorize it, but the "extra details" in this video were great. Specifically the little artwork bumper about Ty's movement around 11:30 - the artist you've been featuring has such an amazing style and it worked so well with their illustrations of Ty! The cameo was also a real nice treat, since I'd been watching that guy's Tony Hawk stuff here and there
Damn Nitro it took Square eyed Jak to educate you on what a cassowary is, well look on the bright side at least you won't get a bunch of people commenting "He's a cassowary not an ostrich" anymore lol.
Fun Fact: Once, Australia went to war against emmus (same family of birds as the cassowary). Australia lost. So, yeah. Boss Cass makes a great villain.
Your reviews are always so comfy and takes me back to a time of simple joys and childlike wonders. I’m immunocompromised so I’m not always the healthiest, but these blasts from the pasts help me get through the rough times. Thank you so much.
I'm into the more upbeat tone of these Ty revisits, right down to the brighter and happier thumbnails! It definitely helps that these versions are improved over the originals in ways, but I like the greater emphasis on the highs this time around. Has me interested in eventually picking these up when I'm working again (here's hoping that'll be soon!).
4:44 It's funny you mention that, cuz as much as I love Ratchet, the only time the rail-grinding was interesting was Deadlocked, where you could whip out your pistols and shoot at enemies while grinding. They never brought that back, for some reason...
I totally forgot about the punching Bionicle! Through your videos I've been slowly reminded how deeply invested in those toys I was for a while. They were by far the most fun toys I had to play with, and they were all cool as hell!!
Course i can see these as going down memory lane for some players, or perhaps they have kids of their own and so it’s a good way for their kids to play the games they played when they were their age. And hey with a remaster like this, it lets a studio give the game a second chance by fixing all the issues.
i played the shit outa TY 1 when i was a toddler to kid and then played ty 2 alot. when i found out they were getting remastered i pre ordered and backed it up and boom i got the first one on my ps4 then boom the TY 2 remaster comes out in 7 days and i already cant wait i remember looking up "ty for ps3" all the time when i was younger bc i really wanted to play it again
Now they need to remaster the 3rd ty game. Supposedly the worst one that I didn't know existed until a few years ago when i owned the first 2 since I was a kid.
Yeah it was a very long time after I played the hell out of 2 that I learned 3 ever existed. Never played it but looking at gameplay I can see why it's the worst. It's...oof
Remasters is always a perfect opportunity to improve upon the original in the quality of life department, and Ty really benefits from that the most, with potential future updates for it going forward on top of it. But with how different Ty 3 is, it'll be quite interesting to see how the remaster pans out.
Cool! I wasn’t expecting you to review this game until the PS4 version dropped! I backed this game, I don’t regret doing so, and I’m REALLY looking forward to The Doomeranger part 2! It’s a comic they promised to make if they reached a specific stretch goal, which they did! Speaking of, how are you reviewing this game?
Ty 2's, and by extension the entire series', soundtrack is so iconic and memorable in my mind that whenever I hear chill guitars in a classic rock or pop song, I'm immediately reminded of this game. It's both a blessing and a curse, but overall I'm glad that I got to experience this great, atmospheric game as a kid.
8:46 the editing really threw me off on that one, I like it when I can tell this is the first time or first time in a while you or other creators make an certain joke or edit because it always feel weird and makes it funnier whenever someone who has an signature way of doing something on RUclips breaks it.
Good point about Ty 3 there. Having enemies that are vulnerable to certain elements would certainly make the elemental boomerangs much more useful. Especially if the enemies still have that high health pool, but take a LOT of damage from the element they're vulnerable to, so if they end up being spongy, it's because you're not using the right tool.
@@conceptofartz276 It seemed like a no-brainer to me. Thinking on your feet and using the right tools is a staple of the oldschool shooters that I'm a fan of. Use fire on Zombies and Cultists in Blood, use the Shrinker on tougher spongy enemies (and the Devastator on Octobrains) in Duke3D, use explosives to frag Zombies in Quake (and "Coolies" in Shadow Warrior, since those enemies turn into "Coolie Ghosts" if you don't gib them), etc. That kind of interplay between enemy and weapon makes your weapons like tools as well as toys, and your enemies like micro-puzzles as well as opponents. Normally when a target is spongy, you have no recourse but to keep dumping damage into them, but if they have certain weaknesses that a given weapon could exploit, not only do you save time and potentially more ammo, but you also feel smarter and more powerful for thinking on your feet.
Super excited to see this get a revisit! Love the quirky quick edits on the monkey and when the truck crashes! The speedrun community used to joke a lot (like you said similarly) that the sub bunyip is a reskin of the helicopter. I spent some time last year doing research with Cheat Engine to find memory values in the game and I found that they literally do use the exact same memory values, while every other bunyip/vehicle uses unique ones, meaning they quite literally are just reskins lmao (also don't worry we also hate the racing and lifter bunyips in speedruns too looooool)
Hey NitroRad. Not sure if your read comments or not, but I just wanted to say thanks for doing these videos for 3D platformers. I never heard of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger before, but after watching your videos of the first & second Ty games, I would gladly check these games out, when I can. I will buy them for my Nintendo Switch of course. Ever since I played games like Spyro The Dragon, I have been very interested in trying out some different 3D platformers, but because I only grew up with the PS2, I didn't have that many options, aside from maybe Ratchet & Clank 1 from 2002 (if that counts as a platformer), but that's about it. I didn't know about Sly Cooper & Jak & Daxter until many years later. When watching your videos, your remind me of the days when video games were suppose to be fun, unique & experimental. And it always gives me good vibes & very nostalgic feelings.
I’ve recently listened to every NitroRad and AntDude reviews while working. I gotta say dude I agree with your points a lot more, just from what you value in a game minus a few things with horror.
Subpar? I mean maybe it’s my Nintendo bias speaking, but a 2D Metroid 15 years in the works, a WarioWare title, more Breath of the Wild 2 info, Shin Megami Tensei V, and a shit ton of really good looking remasters and collections is pretty bulky.
@@thevioletbee5879 Definitely fair, I think Nintendo had the strongest showing no doubt. Just meant in general. Ubisoft, Square Enix, Summer Games Fest, and Capcom were all lackluster imo despite all having a couple cool moments. Just wasn't a mind-blowing E3 like most others.
now i want a nitro rad series on metal gear like, the weird metal gears. the acid card game series. portable ops! the monster hunter missions in peace walker! dude would have some rly interesting thoughts on it.
26:35 Depending on the game, sometimes I prefer when the final mission is essentially a "victory lap" of sorts (assuming there's been a relatively challenging section prior to it). I feel Titanfall 2 did that really well with its endgame sequences.
I love this game like I love Wind Waker. So much personality. And I actually enjoy the driving sequences. The beautiful backdrops of Southern Rivers is just amazing to me. I do wish the game was paced better but it's still a great sequel, and my personal favorite of the series. And it still baffles me how there isn't a TV show about Ty. Bush Rescue would make for a great show. Especially with characters like Murray, Dennis, Fluffy, and of course Boss Cass.
I love the Rabbids Go Home reference. I used to watch my brother play this game all the time as a kid. Now I know how they ruined Rayman’s reputation and generally find them annoying, but it was a nice dose of nostalgia. I just found our copy of the game.
With the Australian animal explanation, toy demonstration and your enthusiasm for the opening segment of the game, it's clear to see you had a lot of fun making this video, as I did watching it. It's also really cool that your videos got recognised by the developers and your feedback considered.
This looks like a great game that I never ever heard of. I'm very happy the devs did a remaster of the game and made very intuitive changes, that's gonna give their game a longer lifespan.
It's great that there's studios like Krome who sencerely want to improve and learn from their work & feedback. like how the Ty 3 remaster (pc) worked around some the glaring issues best it could (Better carts; quinkan now be taken out with throws instead of soley mele, etc).. i still feel it's a little short & repetitive, but the effort is still appreciated. - plus, i learned combining at least 2 or 3 of the earth stones in some rangs gives them kaboomerang effects that even k-o tanky enemies in 1 or 2 hits. Monotonous health-bars no-more.
It would be cool to continue revisiting other games you may have been too hard on in the past. I played Ruff Trigger and thought it was very fun, even though you used it in several videos as an example of terrible games from the era.
Opinions are subjective. While, yes, you may have enjoyed RT, that doesn't mean it's objectively good or bad - no such thing exists in games. A game one individual likes can be disliked by another - that doesn't mean a person was "too hard" on it, nor is the opposite the case for liking it. He doesn't need to echo your own opinions or like the game - if you want to express your own, then you are more than welcome to make your own reviews. The internet is a wonderful place in terms of expression, after all.
@@doomhikerproductions6883 I know. If he hasn't changed his mind, he doesn't have to make a new video. If he _has_ changed his mind, he doesn't have to make a new video either.
8:18 Before you had said any of that, I was looking at this and thinking "Huh, this is a rather nicely designed, cozy looking town~. I just want to walk around and explore." This place really does look nice~. 8:45 I had to pause to laugh here. What is this monkey? I love him. He is my son now.
That 5/5 star rating really says it all. Chrome studios has to go down in history as one of the most involved and passionate developers of their game/ series. Constantly listening to feedback, improving things. And maybe. Hopefully even remastering TY 3 to be a much better game. Really respect them a lot
This was my childhood I remember replaying the final level again and again and again just to get enough orbs for all the rangs and deadly rang, me and my dad did it together as he watched me one of my best memories with him love this game so danm much
32:55: The funny thing about TY 3 is, there's actually a way to bypass the melee combat almost entirely, now granted you have to get to Cassopolis first but once there you can buy some Earth Stones which are the best stones in the game combat-wise for one reason: combining two of them into one Chassis gives the boomerang the properties of the Kaboomerang, to make it easier to obtain them there's also bags of Opals just by the shop that give a fair amount of Opals, then you can just save, quit and reload the file and get more Opal bags until you have enough for the best Chassis (for six stone slots) or just to get two Earth Stones. One of the best Chassis to equip two Earth Stones to is the Lash Chassis because it gives exploding grapple hooks with a fast rate of fire. The custom boomerang system is a good idea on paper, in fact having two Stones of the same type giving the AOE versions is a great idea but the problem is the Quinkan will always block your Boomerangs from a distance unless you freeze them with two Water Stones or make them explode outright with two Earth Stones since they can't block explosions.
So glad you gave this game a second look like you did the first when it got remastered! Ty 2 was always my favourite of the trilogy as well and I'm glad it's getting more of the recognition it deserves nowadays.
The mudpatches actually did serve a purpose, I've learned this watching TY 2 stream: The part of the map you were going to enter up ahead had to be loaded, so they placed mudpatches there to slow you down so the game could load in properly. But considering the HD version doesn't need heavy loading, they improved a lot of gameplay! Like removing some walls on the road, 'nerfed' mudpatches....and above all, made the hub world of Burramudgee seamless almost without any loading walls anymore.
In spite of that ad that had Ty scare Sonic, Crash, and Spyro in the hospital, I feel that all three would get along with him. Also I was shocked that they got the idea to add gyro aiming after seeing your video
@@NitroRad It’d be more likely for Ty beat the living crap out of Eggman, Ripto, and Dr. Cortex and I wish I had the money to commisison someone to remake a print ad with those three in place of their enemies. I feel like the modern equivalent would be Hat Kid having beaten up Yooka, Laylee, Beck, Skylar, and Plux or Izuku, Ochako, Tenya, Shouto, and Katsuki beating up the Teen Titans
When I was like 9, I was gifted an old original Xbox from my uncle with 3 games, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2 being among them. I remembered Ty being amazing, but after replaying it on the switch, I realize back then I only made it through like 10 percent of the missions. I would say this is one of the most underrated early 2000’s platformers.
I’m happy to see people have grown of out “this game sucks” and how it negatively affects other people’s opinions on games they most likely haven’t played. It’s why I don’t like Arin’s treatment of the Sonic games. Say what you want about the games, but Arin most definitely set back people’s opinions on the series for most of the 2010’s. Thankfully, aren’t buying his shit anymore, and are calling him out on it. I don’t despise Arin for it, he just stubborn to accept any kind of assistance. I’m now playing Ty 2 (the same GC copy from my childhood) and I’m having fun even if there are jumps I struggle with. (The red button timer in the upper part of town) I still need walkthroughs since I didn’t understand video games to well when I played it as a child, and some timed missions don’t always tell me what to do. Ty 2 is such a great game PACKED with content and so much things to do. Hell I might replay it again just because I felt I was still lacking in missions. I don’t know why, but I always feel like I don’t have enough opals to get the rangs I need to buy stuff. Seems like everyone is better at getting money in these games except me.
@@shannonbateswillis5022 i have no idea. I don't even think that a new rayman game 2d or 3d is on the table. But i would like to see a rayman 4. An HD remaster for rayman 2 would be great.
You know, I’ll never get what the stigma is against anthropomorphic animal games trying to do drama and have serious stories when people seem to be complete fine with it in any other medium. Like, why is Eggman destroying the moon cheesy? Just because the main characters are animals doesn’t mean the writing has to be like something you’d find on Nick jr. Sly Cooper never gets called “cheesy” or “trying to hard”, and those games are telling serious stories with characters arcs and drama. I’ll just never understand the idea that fluffy talking animals = must have goofy writing.
I’m not sure he will, but I hope he does one day. Also, check out his review for Rocket: Robot on Wheels! It’s ALSO made by Sucker Punch, the guys who made Sly 1, 2, and 3, before those games!
@@raymonddfigueroa8382 What about a compilation of the first three to try & gauge interest followed by bringing over the last two? Also the most interesting thing to me about the announcement is that it's being published by Koei Tecmo instead of Big N.
I would love if we got a legit 3D Ty 4. The one we have is ok but it seemed to served more so as the market test for the Ty IP like with N.Sanity for Crash and Reignited for Spyro. If the devs take into account all of the feedback, both good and bad, we could have the return of a very good series on our hands. Maybe in Ty 5 we fight humans that are hunting the Tasmanian Tigers to extinction or something. I mean, we know how that's going to end, but still. Also, am I the only one who liked Ty 3? I loved every aspect of the game but every seems to hate it, to the point that it temporarily killed the series.

Yeah it was a very long time after I played the hell out of 2 that I learned 3 ever existed. Never played it but looking at gameplay I can see why it's the worst. It's...oof
@@hheecckk526 It's actually really fun once you cheat your way out of combat with a couple earth stones.
@@NotSoCheezyYT having to exploit mechanic to make a game more fun just proves the game was poorly designed
Mad props getting Square Eyed Jak in on this!
SQUARE EYED JAK WAS IN THIS VIDEO? HELLO?! two of my favorite youtubers crossing paths? yes please
I remember this one being considerably better than Ty 1 to me, and also that my disc was scratched to where it would stop working at a certain point.
Mine got scratch to the point of not working at all. When I was a kid I couldn't even beat the first boss.
"I don't wanna hear about your problems" that line got me laughing so much.
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
i've been meaning to rewatch your ty reviews again so this is a Treat :]
Remasters is always a perfect opportunity to improve upon the original in the quality of life department, and Ty really benefits from that the most, with potential future updates for it going forward on top of it.
But with how different Ty 3 is, it'll be quite interesting to see how the remaster pans out.
Cool! I wasn’t expecting you to review this game until the PS4 version dropped! I backed this game, I don’t regret doing so, and I’m REALLY looking forward to The Doomeranger part 2! It’s a comic they promised to make if they reached a specific stretch goal, which they did! Speaking of, how are you reviewing this game?
How is he reviewing this game?
It’s in the video you must have clicked on to post your comment 🤡
@@Robert-tl2vg you’re right! I didn’t even see Square Eyed Jak yet!
Did YOU back this game? Cause I did!
One more thing: Square Eyed Jak?! I love that guy! I didn’t know that you guys knew each other! Hi, Jak!
LOL 😂
What?
Thought he said Square Out Jack. Thanks
What? We’re friends on Facebook, man! He even responded to me once or twice!
Well this has been quite a review, crikey. Also didn’t expect that crossover.
Ty 2's, and by extension the entire series', soundtrack is so iconic and memorable in my mind that whenever I hear chill guitars in a classic rock or pop song, I'm immediately reminded of this game. It's both a blessing and a curse, but overall I'm glad that I got to experience this great, atmospheric game as a kid.
8:46 the editing really threw me off on that one, I like it when I can tell this is the first time or first time in a while you or other creators make an certain joke or edit because it always feel weird and makes it funnier whenever someone who has an signature way of doing something on RUclips breaks it.
Good point about Ty 3 there. Having enemies that are vulnerable to certain elements would certainly make the elemental boomerangs much more useful. Especially if the enemies still have that high health pool, but take a LOT of damage from the element they're vulnerable to, so if they end up being spongy, it's because you're not using the right tool.
You actually had the best idea ever to fix the combat in ty 3
@@conceptofartz276 It seemed like a no-brainer to me. Thinking on your feet and using the right tools is a staple of the oldschool shooters that I'm a fan of. Use fire on Zombies and Cultists in Blood, use the Shrinker on tougher spongy enemies (and the Devastator on Octobrains) in Duke3D, use explosives to frag Zombies in Quake (and "Coolies" in Shadow Warrior, since those enemies turn into "Coolie Ghosts" if you don't gib them), etc.
That kind of interplay between enemy and weapon makes your weapons like tools as well as toys, and your enemies like micro-puzzles as well as opponents. Normally when a target is spongy, you have no recourse but to keep dumping damage into them, but if they have certain weaknesses that a given weapon could exploit, not only do you save time and potentially more ammo, but you also feel smarter and more powerful for thinking on your feet.
They actually have a baby-version of that. I remember that the one's with the weird tongues that they whip around take more damage to ice.
Can’t wait for your review of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
What an icon, creates an entire country just to avoid getting arrested
Glad your continuing your look back on the Ty series .
As am I!
As am I!
Super excited to see this get a revisit! Love the quirky quick edits on the monkey and when the truck crashes! The speedrun community used to joke a lot (like you said similarly) that the sub bunyip is a reskin of the helicopter. I spent some time last year doing research with Cheat Engine to find memory values in the game and I found that they literally do use the exact same memory values, while every other bunyip/vehicle uses unique ones, meaning they quite literally are just reskins lmao
(also don't worry we also hate the racing and lifter bunyips in speedruns too looooool)
Gee Ty, how come the industry lets you have TWO remasters?
NITRO GANGGGG
We really need the Bionicle review more than ever now. Especially if it includes the punchy ones.
12:58 that Square Eyed Jak cameo was beyond phenomenal!
Meta humor is the best
That burp transition was genius
Hey NitroRad. Not sure if your read comments or not, but I just wanted to say thanks for doing these videos for 3D platformers. I never heard of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger before, but after watching your videos of the first & second Ty games, I would gladly check these games out, when I can. I will buy them for my Nintendo Switch of course.
Ever since I played games like Spyro The Dragon, I have been very interested in trying out some different 3D platformers, but because I only grew up with the PS2, I didn't have that many options, aside from maybe Ratchet & Clank 1 from 2002 (if that counts as a platformer), but that's about it. I didn't know about Sly Cooper & Jak & Daxter until many years later.
When watching your videos, your remind me of the days when video games were suppose to be fun, unique & experimental. And it always gives me good vibes & very nostalgic feelings.
I’ve recently listened to every NitroRad and AntDude reviews while working. I gotta say dude I agree with your points a lot more, just from what you value in a game minus a few things with horror.
While E3 may have been subpar, at least we can sit down at the end and enjoy a new nitro rad video
Subpar? I mean maybe it’s my Nintendo bias speaking, but a 2D Metroid 15 years in the works, a WarioWare title, more Breath of the Wild 2 info, Shin Megami Tensei V, and a shit ton of really good looking remasters and collections is pretty bulky.
I agree. Nintendo was very underwhelming this time. At least Metroid Dread looked cool even though I haven't gotten into that franchise yet.
@@thevioletbee5879 Definitely fair, I think Nintendo had the strongest showing no doubt. Just meant in general. Ubisoft, Square Enix, Summer Games Fest, and Capcom were all lackluster imo despite all having a couple cool moments. Just wasn't a mind-blowing E3 like most others.
new nitro rad? i'm so glad!
When it’s NitroRad, I just can’t be sad!
12:03
James out here making one of those "All Bosses" video thumbnails mid-video.
32:30 oh my god, Tys fighting heartless?
now i want a nitro rad series on metal gear
like, the weird metal gears. the acid card game series. portable ops! the monster hunter missions in peace walker! dude would have some rly interesting thoughts on it.
OH MY GOD. A SQUARE EYED JAK AND NITRO RAD CROSSOVER. HELL YES.
Got my man Square Eye Jack
I've evolved past the need for RUclips notifications. Whenever Nitrorad uploads I can feel it in my soul.
Worthless Algorithm: Wait, that's illegal.
26:35 Depending on the game, sometimes I prefer when the final mission is essentially a "victory lap" of sorts (assuming there's been a relatively challenging section prior to it). I feel Titanfall 2 did that really well with its endgame sequences.
I am Australian and this episode was hilarious 😂
I love this game like I love Wind Waker. So much personality. And I actually enjoy the driving sequences. The beautiful backdrops of Southern Rivers is just amazing to me. I do wish the game was paced better but it's still a great sequel, and my personal favorite of the series.
And it still baffles me how there isn't a TV show about Ty. Bush Rescue would make for a great show. Especially with characters like Murray, Dennis, Fluffy, and of course Boss Cass.
Oh boy a nitro rad remake, it’s old bit also new at the same time
I LOVE NitroRad! I’ve loved him ever since I saw his Voodoo Vince review! I wonder what he thinks of VV: Remastered.
He didn’t make the game.
Yeah no shit, I mean the video because he’s made a ty 2 video before
A game company saw your nitpick and added a feature based on it? Dude, that means you're famous now.
Nitro Rad: Ty 1
My brain: Taiwan
I love the Rabbids Go Home reference. I used to watch my brother play this game all the time as a kid. Now I know how they ruined Rayman’s reputation and generally find them annoying, but it was a nice dose of nostalgia. I just found our copy of the game.
I remember trying to climb up that upwards angled road only to continuously fail.
With the Australian animal explanation, toy demonstration and your enthusiasm for the opening segment of the game, it's clear to see you had a lot of fun making this video, as I did watching it. It's also really cool that your videos got recognised by the developers and your feedback considered.
This looks like a great game that I never ever heard of. I'm very happy the devs did a remaster of the game and made very intuitive changes, that's gonna give their game a longer lifespan.
It's great that there's studios like Krome who sencerely want to improve and learn from their work & feedback.
like how the Ty 3 remaster (pc) worked around some the glaring issues best it could (Better carts; quinkan now be taken out with throws instead of soley mele, etc).. i still feel it's a little short & repetitive, but the effort is still appreciated.
- plus, i learned combining at least 2 or 3 of the earth stones in some rangs gives them kaboomerang effects that even k-o tanky enemies in 1 or 2 hits. Monotonous health-bars no-more.
It would be cool to continue revisiting other games you may have been too hard on in the past. I played Ruff Trigger and thought it was very fun, even though you used it in several videos as an example of terrible games from the era.
Why don’t you start a RUclips channel and revisit old games you were too hard on?
Opinions are subjective. While, yes, you may have enjoyed RT, that doesn't mean it's objectively good or bad - no such thing exists in games. A game one individual likes can be disliked by another - that doesn't mean a person was "too hard" on it, nor is the opposite the case for liking it. He doesn't need to echo your own opinions or like the game - if you want to express your own, then you are more than welcome to make your own reviews. The internet is a wonderful place in terms of expression, after all.
@@doomhikerproductions6883 I know. If he hasn't changed his mind, he doesn't have to make a new video. If he _has_ changed his mind, he doesn't have to make a new video either.
8:18 Before you had said any of that, I was looking at this and thinking "Huh, this is a rather nicely designed, cozy looking town~. I just want to walk around and explore." This place really does look nice~.
8:45 I had to pause to laugh here. What is this monkey? I love him. He is my son now.
3:53
well no, Eggman actually pissed on the moon cause Shadow pissed on his wife
5:43 - Dude, just make that Bionicle video, you know you want to.
The Jak cameo was epic
No way, is that square eyed Jak who taught you about Australian wildlife!? And also whoa I was right about Boss Cass actually being a Cassowory.
Well thank you so much for requesting gyro aiming, because that made some sections that gave me trouble as a kid an absolute and pleasant breeze!
That 5/5 star rating really says it all. Chrome studios has to go down in history as one of the most involved and passionate developers of their game/ series. Constantly listening to feedback, improving things. And maybe. Hopefully even remastering TY 3 to be a much better game. Really respect them a lot
IM STILL SHOOK MY BOY KAS ISN’T AN OSTRIC. MY CHILDHOOD IS A LIE.
"OSTRIC".
It’s actually spelled ostrich. But don’t worry. It’s a weird word even for native English speakers
This was my childhood I remember replaying the final level again and again and again just to get enough orbs for all the rangs and deadly rang, me and my dad did it together as he watched me one of my best memories with him love this game so danm much
I missed you man. Welcome back bro ❤️
Let's just settle this here and now, NitroRad is the ONLY man capable of playing a human version of Ty
Also do you think they should start selling Ty toys?
32:55: The funny thing about TY 3 is, there's actually a way to bypass the melee combat almost entirely, now granted you have to get to Cassopolis first but once there you can buy some Earth Stones which are the best stones in the game combat-wise for one reason: combining two of them into one Chassis gives the boomerang the properties of the Kaboomerang, to make it easier to obtain them there's also bags of Opals just by the shop that give a fair amount of Opals, then you can just save, quit and reload the file and get more Opal bags until you have enough for the best Chassis (for six stone slots) or just to get two Earth Stones. One of the best Chassis to equip two Earth Stones to is the Lash Chassis because it gives exploding grapple hooks with a fast rate of fire.
The custom boomerang system is a good idea on paper, in fact having two Stones of the same type giving the AOE versions is a great idea but the problem is the Quinkan will always block your Boomerangs from a distance unless you freeze them with two Water Stones or make them explode outright with two Earth Stones since they can't block explosions.
E3 and nitro rad new video lets goo
Metroid dread hype
Metroid Dread and actual BOTW 2 gameplay footage hype
@Mary Moon I agree
So glad you gave this game a second look like you did the first when it got remastered! Ty 2 was always my favourite of the trilogy as well and I'm glad it's getting more of the recognition it deserves nowadays.
Nitro Nads
The mudpatches actually did serve a purpose, I've learned this watching TY 2 stream:
The part of the map you were going to enter up ahead had to be loaded, so they placed mudpatches there to slow you down so the game could load in properly.
But considering the HD version doesn't need heavy loading, they improved a lot of gameplay! Like removing some walls on the road, 'nerfed' mudpatches....and above all, made the hub world of Burramudgee seamless almost without any loading walls anymore.
In spite of that ad that had Ty scare Sonic, Crash, and Spyro in the hospital, I feel that all three would get along with him.
Also I was shocked that they got the idea to add gyro aiming after seeing your video
ty's like the nicest dude. Way more likely to bring the gang some home baked pie than he is to beat the living crap outta them lmao
@@NitroRad It’d be more likely for Ty beat the living crap out of Eggman, Ripto, and Dr. Cortex and I wish I had the money to commisison someone to remake a print ad with those three in place of their enemies.
I feel like the modern equivalent would be Hat Kid having beaten up Yooka, Laylee, Beck, Skylar, and Plux or Izuku, Ochako, Tenya, Shouto, and Katsuki beating up the Teen Titans
@@misterzygarde6431 good one, Mate!
@@NitroRad I’d have to agree! He seems like a stand-up guy!
When I was like 9, I was gifted an old original Xbox from my uncle with 3 games, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2 being among them. I remembered Ty being amazing, but after replaying it on the switch, I realize back then I only made it through like 10 percent of the missions. I would say this is one of the most underrated early 2000’s platformers.
We're gonna see the full trilogy being reviewed aren't we?
He already did 😂
I’m happy to see people have grown of out “this game sucks” and how it negatively affects other people’s opinions on games they most likely haven’t played.
It’s why I don’t like Arin’s treatment of the Sonic games. Say what you want about the games, but Arin most definitely set back people’s opinions on the series for most of the 2010’s. Thankfully, aren’t buying his shit anymore, and are calling him out on it.
I don’t despise Arin for it, he just stubborn to accept any kind of assistance.
I’m now playing Ty 2 (the same GC copy from my childhood) and I’m having fun even if there are jumps I struggle with. (The red button timer in the upper part of town)
I still need walkthroughs since I didn’t understand video games to well when I played it as a child, and some timed missions don’t always tell me what to do.
Ty 2 is such a great game PACKED with content and so much things to do. Hell I might replay it again just because I felt I was still lacking in missions. I don’t know why, but I always feel like I don’t have enough opals to get the rangs I need to buy stuff. Seems like everyone is better at getting money in these games except me.
i need a new rayman game.
Say we do get one: what style would it be; 2D, like Origins or Legends, or 3D like an HD port of Rayman 2 (which I would LOVE!)?
@@shannonbateswillis5022 i have no idea. I don't even think that a new rayman game 2d or 3d is on the table.
But i would like to see a rayman 4.
An HD remaster for rayman 2 would be great.
You know, I’ll never get what the stigma is against anthropomorphic animal games trying to do drama and have serious stories when people seem to be complete fine with it in any other medium. Like, why is Eggman destroying the moon cheesy? Just because the main characters are animals doesn’t mean the writing has to be like something you’d find on Nick jr. Sly Cooper never gets called “cheesy” or “trying to hard”, and those games are telling serious stories with characters arcs and drama. I’ll just never understand the idea that fluffy talking animals = must have goofy writing.
I freaking love the second game of TY
Which second do you love?
Realy like your videos. Could you do a Sly cooper review? Would be cool if you could do at least one of the games
I’m not sure he will, but I hope he does one day. Also, check out his review for Rocket: Robot on Wheels! It’s ALSO made by Sucker Punch, the guys who made Sly 1, 2, and 3, before those games!
Someone's gonna be happy about that fatal frame announcement
Wasnt it the worst in the series? I think they shouldve ported the other ones
@@raymonddfigueroa8382 What about a compilation of the first three to try & gauge interest followed by bringing over the last two? Also the most interesting thing to me about the announcement is that it's being published by Koei Tecmo instead of Big N.
I would love if we got a legit 3D Ty 4. The one we have is ok but it seemed to served more so as the market test for the Ty IP like with N.Sanity for Crash and Reignited for Spyro. If the devs take into account all of the feedback, both good and bad, we could have the return of a very good series on our hands. Maybe in Ty 5 we fight humans that are hunting the Tasmanian Tigers to extinction or something. I mean, we know how that's going to end, but still. Also, am I the only one who liked Ty 3? I loved every aspect of the game but every seems to hate it, to the point that it temporarily killed the series.
