Ah...Thrill Kill. The bastardized love child of Mortal Kombat and Super Smash Bros.(before it even existed). I remember seeing videos of this game and being outright disturbed with its content. I give it points for being a bit unique and being one of the pre Smash Bros like titles. Had it still release,even with mixed reviews,it would be more of a bigger cult classic as it kinda was. Props to the developers for releasing their hard work to the public and screw EA. They've made mistakes then and they'll continue to do so for the rest of the years to come.
I find it odd you didn't mention Wu-Tang Taste The Pain. That game famously re-used Thrill Kill's engine and had the 'senseless violence' hidden behind a cheat code. So much for the game that would kill EA, huh.
Tips and Tricks magazine had a full guide on this game. Sure caught them by surprise. I was sad when EA decided to not release it. It was like Twisted Metal the fighting game.
All in all, it seems like they had some decent ideas....the plot reminds me of something you'd see from Clive Barker If they weren't so focused on being a Mortal Kombat rip-off and just adding offensive stuff for the sake of being offensive, it might have actually been something.
i have a very real "mandela effect " with this game. me and a friend played this game at kinds island ohio back in 1992. i remember because i was 13, it was summer and was the last time we ever went to kings island together. i remember him picking dr faustus and playing the bathroom lvl...it was around when street fighter 2 turbo came out and was always on the big screen at the arcades. i KNOW i saw this game because my friends and i have never had a modded PS. fast forward to 2009, i was searching for old game and remembered this one and wanted to check it out again. imagine my surprise when i found out it was never released...still gives me chills to this day..where were my friend and i to have played this game in 1992? i still remember which building it was and exactly where it was as well....it was 75 cents to play so i didnt play it, just watched my friend play. we loved the doctor with the bear trap mouth, ill never forget this
The sheer lack of creativity on display in this game is amazing. "Hey, so, we have an evil doctor. What should we name hi-" "Faust. Evil doctor. Duh." "Okay, we also need a name for this big monster chara-" "He's big? His name should be a synonym for big. Like, colossus, or mammoth. Done." "...Alright, we have a guy with a southern accent and-" "Cletus. Just like the Simpsons." "...We also have like an evil bondage man who causes pain and-" "Pain Causer. God this is easy." "...Sir, I don't think 'Pain Causer' is the best name we can give him." "Do I have to do everything? Find a word that means person who causes pain. That's his name. God."
I havent watched these videos in years, and i decided to stop by and watch some of them and saw that the end slate is still unnecessarily long and I love it. Never change yuriofwind :D
Yeah totally! Where's that WuTang clone of Thrillkill. On a random note, is Thrillkill's fighting engine from a wrestling game? The formats are really similar (4p rumble, not health bars)
This game was awesome is awesome, even though it was officially cancelled. Someone managed to release it anyway back in the 98-99 Hard copys . the full game fmv endings and all secret characters. I love that game Belladonna is my toon.
MrMoneyclips siamese twins again, or they'd get their own bodies as two different souls. though maybe they'd have to try to kill eachother aswell to win.
I remember playing this game on white label disc back in the day, and thinking it was really grim and twisted. Looking at it now, it's impossible to re-capture that feeling as it just looks crap - lol
That could be a good idea for another Bullshit Creepy Pasta StoryTime episode! Thanks dude! Now, if only there were more Bullshit Creepasta StoryTime episodes...
Is that where this great song comes from? Great. I never got a chance to play any of the Shadow Hearts franchise, due to the fact that I was only 7 when Shadow Hearts Covenant came out on the ps2. How good were the Shadow Hearts games?
I played Thrill Kill back in the day thanks to my friends chipped PS1 it was basically Wu tang Clan without Wu tang so if you played the Wu tang game back then you've basically played Thrill Kill with added gangster rap lol
I remember seeing adds in magazines for this game back in the day. If i'm not mistaken, this game had rape moves didn't it? Also Belldonna? It's Belladonna, you're missing an A there
no to my knowledge the only thing like that is an attack oddball does where he bends his opponent over and humps there head into the ground. it has sexual themes but nothing really rape like past that one move for oddball.
I still have a PlayStation magazine promo lid sticker for this game. I never used it. I was only mildly excited for this game back in the day, then it didn't come it and everyone was like "meh".
Woohoo thanks for this one +Yuriofwind (and story time), I didn't actually know the plot of this game, I wasn't much of a reader back in the day and one day I'll learn to read more gooder. PS: Contagion the band was pretty good, IMO Contagion's international breakthrough was killed here too like the in utero embryo of Thrill Kill the game. (search Contagion - Infectant, an album, also very important its industrial metal, which can be identified by it being metal where they make the beats by banging metal buckets and pipes around.)
You're not the only one. I've seen this game talked about in magazines myself when I was a kid too. According to a review i read, that was never published for some reason, it got a 6.5 out of 10.
I actually played the game a few years back when my friend got a pirated copy of it. Its.....not too great to be honest :/ Apart from being gory, its not too interesting sadly
Well, not to sound rude, but it's a crappy looking Mortal Kombat clone, what were you expecting? Just play MK 9 or XXL, it's sequel. If you can, I mean.
This game doesn't look half bad as a fighter for the time, the mechanics seemed interesting, having a kill meter you fill up instead of a (visible?) health bar to build up a special finisher move, and it seemed once you did so and killed off a character, the match continued into a second and third round. I also quite liked the cast, some were pretty lazy, but some seemed quite interesting with unique styles to them. Cain looked pretty interesting, as did the Tormentor and Violet. I think if this game had gone public proper, it could have gotten a sequel and even become a true cult classic series. I know I'd have played it and wanted one had I ever known about this game and gotten ahold of it.
(4:20) So it's a game consisting of a bunch of murderes, and one woman who killed someone in self defence and simply had an irrational hate against men, and died due to an accident. Her only crime being that she's a sexist. - I would consider that a fail. She should have gone out and actually killed men, to become an actual murderer, and then killed during one attempted murder in some form. - It would be like having a white character, who got mugged by a black person with a knife/gun, and then killed said black person in self defence. Then grew hatred to black people, and suffered an accidental death at the workplace. Sure, the person was a racist, but no one innocent died from it, unlike the other murderes.
Kane? Arsonist? Dies in a 🔥? Year was this game supposed to come out? Kane a character in the then WWF debuted in October 1997 with a similar backstory he was supposed to have died in a fire and supposed to have set the fire. Now that story did not end up being true that's how they brought him that so this game was going to come out before October 97 I think it's crazy that WWF rip their story for a character in this game. or vice a versa now the character model looks nothing like the wrestler came but if this game came out after that then this game took that story from the WWF
Bro there's literally 6 minutes of video and 7 minutes of endslate. I can't even tell if you're parodying yourself anymore
EA:We don't want to release Thrill Kill! It's too sexual and violent!
(Later releases the Dead Space and Dragon Age franchises)
its almost like the standards for media change as time passes or something
Anyone else find it ironic that this game was almost going to be published by a company called Virgin?
Thrill Kill actually managed to live on by being reskinned as Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style.
I love you Yuri, your videos are just mythical at this point.
Was that a guy break dancing in a straight jacket.
+Desolark the Feathered Sand Serpent Was what a question.
Wut
Yes it was. No one knows why though. But that was just the intro for you
Yup
The lesbian of winds: 50% video, 50% end-slate
Interesting, I'll think of this further in the Chamber of Understanding...
Wilfred Cthulu umm is that a fucking Home Movies reference!?!? Fuck yes mate fuck yes!!!
Ah...Thrill Kill.
The bastardized love child of Mortal Kombat and Super Smash Bros.(before it even existed). I remember seeing videos of this game and being outright disturbed with its content. I give it points for being a bit unique and being one of the pre Smash Bros like titles. Had it still release,even with mixed reviews,it would be more of a bigger cult classic as it kinda was.
Props to the developers for releasing their hard work to the public and screw EA. They've made mistakes then and they'll continue to do so for the rest of the years to come.
I'd say less Super Smash Bros and more.. a proto-proto Playstation All Stars.
I find it odd you didn't mention Wu-Tang Taste The Pain. That game famously re-used Thrill Kill's engine and had the 'senseless violence' hidden behind a cheat code. So much for the game that would kill EA, huh.
What no mention of the Wu-Tang game that pretty much was the successor to this game that never got released.
Tips and Tricks magazine had a full guide on this game. Sure caught them by surprise. I was sad when EA decided to not release it. It was like Twisted Metal the fighting game.
Yuriofwind videos get me through life.
All in all, it seems like they had some decent ideas....the plot reminds me of something you'd see from Clive Barker
If they weren't so focused on being a Mortal Kombat rip-off and just adding offensive stuff for the sake of being offensive, it might have actually been something.
i have a very real "mandela effect " with this game.
me and a friend played this game at kinds island ohio back in 1992. i remember because i was 13, it was summer and was the last time we ever went to kings island together.

we loved the doctor with the bear trap mouth, ill never forget this
Im just waiting on the inevitable 3 second video with a 40 minute endslate
The sheer lack of creativity on display in this game is amazing.
"Hey, so, we have an evil doctor. What should we name hi-"
"Faust. Evil doctor. Duh."
"Okay, we also need a name for this big monster chara-"
"He's big? His name should be a synonym for big. Like, colossus, or mammoth. Done."
"...Alright, we have a guy with a southern accent and-"

I havent watched these videos in years, and i decided to stop by and watch some of them and saw that the end slate is still unnecessarily long and I love it. Never change yuriofwind :D
3:08 MANLETS
WHEN WILL THEY LEARN
I'm surprised you didn't mention Wu Tang, Taste the Pain... it was made using the engine of this game and actually got released!
It's actually about as good as Thrill Kill! I enjoyed it a lot as a kid, which I probably shouldn't have lol!
This
Yeah totally! Where's that WuTang clone of Thrillkill. On a random note, is Thrillkill's fighting engine from a wrestling game? The formats are really similar (4p rumble, not health bars)
Wasn't it just as violent too ?
I clicked off of another video I was honestly interested in to watch this, and I don’t regret anything.
Haven’t even watched it yet, but it’s amazing.
Well done video, man 😁
This game was awesome is awesome, even though it was officially cancelled. Someone managed to release it anyway back in the 98-99 Hard copys . the full game fmv endings and all secret characters. I love that game Belladonna is my toon.
Oh my god! Thrill Kill! I remember this shit! Saw it years ago in the videos of that one girl that talked about it on the StillGaming channel =D
Damn this game sounds so good in concept.
“I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible”
*the endslate is half the fucking video and I love it*
I own a bootleg of THRILL KILL. I love this game. Great with the 4-player multi tap
for the playstation.
I was hoping to remaking this game as a college project and possibly get the rights from EA *possibly* and get the game reincarnated
How does the two-headed character get reincarnated exactly?
MrMoneyclips siamese twins again, or they'd get their own bodies as two different souls. though maybe they'd have to try to kill eachother aswell to win.
you know... cat dog?
I'm sorry I had to cancel my Patreon support but it's so awesome to see how many great people are willing to support what you do! :)
I remember playing this game on white label disc back in the day, and thinking it was really grim and twisted. Looking at it now, it's impossible to re-capture that feeling as it just looks crap - lol
Wasn't this game rated Adult by the ESRB prior to release?
"We're having a party with Chrome, it's gonna crash. Ah, actually that's Firefox party..."
Not gonna lie, every time Yuri uploads a new video; it makes my day.
Nothing about Wu-Tang Shaolin Style?
Funny thing there's an alt for the sinmize character its basically Ken and Ryu
I remember playing this back in the day
Have you heard of the game Doki Doki Literature Club? It's almost literally a creepypasta, except it's a real full game.
That could be a good idea for another Bullshit Creepy Pasta StoryTime episode! Thanks dude! Now, if only there were more Bullshit Creepasta StoryTime episodes...
Can we get a VR remake of this you guys? I need something new to have nightmares of... Also, you're the best Yuri!
GameOver Jesse yes Yuri is the best!
This games sounds like it would been pretty sick. There should honestly be more games based in hell
Is that Shadow Hearts 2 ending I'm hearing in the background?
Is that where this great song comes from? Great. I never got a chance to play any of the Shadow Hearts franchise, due to the fact that I was only 7 when Shadow Hearts Covenant came out on the ps2. How good were the Shadow Hearts games?
I played Thrill Kill back in the day thanks to my friends chipped PS1 it was basically Wu tang Clan without Wu tang so if you played the Wu tang game back then you've basically played Thrill Kill with added gangster rap lol
Recoil Gaming Exploits that game had much better music then this pile of medicore
I go from a news article about how EA shut down Visceral to a video about a game that was shut down by EA.
I seriously though Violet was a stripper at first.
They reused the engine in WuTang Shaolin Style and X-Men Mutant Academy 1 & 2 for PS1
BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER :D
Endslate ... The only show where he tries to keep it short but lasts longer then the rest of the video
I remember seeing adds in magazines for this game back in the day. If i'm not mistaken, this game had rape moves didn't it?
Also Belldonna? It's Belladonna, you're missing an A there
no to my knowledge the only thing like that is an attack oddball does where he bends his opponent over and humps there head into the ground.
it has sexual themes but nothing really rape like past that one move for oddball.
There weren't rape moves. There's a move where it looks like sex is happening, but it's actually just someone getting their feet tickled.
I found a plot hole in the story of this game. It said ten damned soles right? Well technically wouldn't the Siamese twin count as two souls?
Thrill! Kill! Chill!
When you get an EA ad at the break of this video. Lol.
They should have gotten "My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult" to do the music for this. Missed opportunity.
the game is for me cause there's blood
I still have a PlayStation magazine promo lid sticker for this game. I never used it. I was only mildly excited for this game back in the day, then it didn't come it and everyone was like "meh".
Yuriofwind, I f*cking love you
Woohoo thanks for this one +Yuriofwind (and story time), I didn't actually know the plot of this game, I wasn't much of a reader back in the day and one day I'll learn to read more gooder.
PS: Contagion the band was pretty good, IMO Contagion's international breakthrough was killed here too like the in utero embryo of Thrill Kill the game. (search Contagion - Infectant, an album, also very important its industrial metal, which can be identified by it being metal where they make the beats by banging metal buckets and pipes around.)
im going to die of happiness
>brief
*takes half of the video*
jk, aweosome vid, thanks for the information gonna play it now.
I remember seeing ads for this game when I was kid in either gamepro or tricks and tips
You're not the only one. I've seen this game talked about in magazines myself when I was a kid too. According to a review i read, that was never published for some reason, it got a 6.5 out of 10.
Paradox was behind Marvel's X-Men Mutant Academy games. My fav is 2. It's like 1 with additinoal improvements, such as playing as Spiderman and Havoc.
I actually played the game a few years back when my friend got a pirated copy of it. Its.....not too great to be honest :/ Apart from being gory, its not too interesting sadly
Well, not to sound rude, but it's a crappy looking Mortal Kombat clone, what were you expecting? Just play MK 9 or XXL, it's sequel. If you can, I mean.
So thats how this Composer plays the Reapers Game
I love Thrill Kill, best game to never release.
i played this game back in the day, alot of pirated copies of this game was released.
What is the song playing during End Slate?
The ending song to Shadow Hearts Covenant
Can't remember the name off the top of my head.
This game was brilliant I got it when I got my ps1 chipped one of the best unreleased games I played
Ok Yuri, I know you like your endslates, but this one is literally 45% of your video length.
This game doesn't look half bad as a fighter for the time, the mechanics seemed interesting, having a kill meter you fill up instead of a (visible?) health bar to build up a special finisher move, and it seemed once you did so and killed off a character, the match continued into a second and third round. I also quite liked the cast, some were pretty lazy, but some seemed quite interesting with unique styles to them. Cain looked pretty interesting, as did the Tormentor and Violet. I think if this game had gone public proper, it could have gotten a sequel and even become a true cult classic series. I know I'd have played it and wanted one had I ever known about this game and gotten ahold of it.
Imagine this games characters, but in tekken.
Imagine doing some eddy gordo shit as the guy in the straight jacket.
What Guilty Gear song was that in the beginning?
Riches In Me from Guilty Gear Isuka. The other GG songs are from Isuka as well.
Thanks
man, thrill kill could've been the edgier younger cousin to mortal kombat in the gory games genre but EA had to be EA and screw it up
Awesome, made it on time to be between the first
The South shall rise again fellas.
Wasnt this just turned into a Wu-tang game?
Does anyone know who the skeleton is?
Khaki Bog An alternate Cain costume.
Lol it reminds me of twisted metal without the cars haha
Quick, someone summon the Scrublords!
Yuri it's time to get a better microphone.
Holy shit I thought this was an early ps2 game
A spooOOOooky mediocre mortal kombat? Sign me up!
Yuroiofwind , you should check out Zook Hero Z, the best and only actually enjoyable Mega Man based bootleg out there!
(4:20) So it's a game consisting of a bunch of murderes, and one woman who killed someone in self defence and simply had an irrational hate against men, and died due to an accident.

EA was responsible for making movies like .hack//The Movie with Bandai Visual.
I played thrill kill before. Downloaded a rom.
Kane? Arsonist? Dies in a 🔥? Year was this game supposed to come out? Kane a character in the then WWF debuted in October 1997 with a similar backstory he was supposed to have died in a fire and supposed to have set the fire.

4:08 and feminists say they don't see enough representation. lol
How thrilling.
Video 7 minutes end card 6 minutes
It's only worth watching 13:03
Mediocre? Have we played the same Thrill Kill? I find it pretty original and fun as a fighting game.
Manhunt 2 and Hatred pls.
4:17 sounds like a modern day feminist to me.
over half the video is the end slate
what?
pssssst... they probably Demonetized it cause you had the word Bullshit in the title....
Going to keep this brief, as in half the video long.
i like youube viedo!
Sounds like EA
Well dang
Do Tomodachi life
lol literally ultron
YOU ARE MUMKEY JONES
