As much as some people might think they look crusty, I miss the exaggerated cartoon style that some of these games had. You don't really see that much nowadays.
Back in the day I hated that style for being so omnipresent and unfunny, but after being out of fashion for so long, it seems almost retro and nostalgic.
I like the detail of things exploding when shake hits them. In the show, anything he throws spontaneously explodes. So the enemies keeling over and booming is hilarious.
aqua teen hunger force was better stoner media than anything marketed as stoner media. it does not surprise me vinny was smoking during his time watching that masterpiece.
same for whiplash, played that game a ton when i was 10 and i distinctly remember getting stuck at one of the first hub worlds of the game and never progressing further than that.
4:09 As a native french person, i take the responsibility to traduce these words on the screen. It says: "Mickey the mouse", wich reffers to the famous character Mickey, created by Hideo Kojima in 2008 who takes place in the game Fortnite
To unlock Mickey the Mouse in fortnite: Chant: Mickey the Mouse 5 times Go to Tilted Towers, Do not go to the twin ones or else you gotta try again, Go to that place Tilted Towers, Find the Mickey coin and then literally summon a ritual to spawn Mickey the Mouse, and then when he spawns in RUN AWAY SINCE HE WILL CHASE YOU UNTIL HE GETS YOU, when you find Tomato Town head to one of the houses and then survive and then you get the skin, Hope this helped
the playstation 1 and 2 made a really interesting era for art direction in playstation games. they gave us some charming and unforgettable character models, like megaman volnutt or ratchet sometimes they gave us gift
Idk if it's just because it directly followed after The Gift or Things or whatever it was called, but Whiplash looked like a game I genuinely would have enjoyed as a kid and probably looked back on fondly.
There's a recent similar game out there by name of Hell Pie, which has a lot of cool stuff going for it. Though fair warning: the humor can be hard to stomach at times.
Whiplash is one of those underrated gems.. I think I played this game like twice, fully. Just to smash everything and make the company have a negative balance and free all the animals.. I was unstoppable when I hit the final levels... it felt pretty damn good.
As someone who uploaded the whole Freaky Flyers soundtrack, I admit it is a game i sincerely enjoy. For all its doofiness, it is actually fun and there are some gems in its gags.
18:17 Vinny's old timey voice calling out the name of a random real or fictional sports team will always make me laugh, and I just don't understand why.
The main menu for that ATHF game looks straight out of a 2000s Newgrounds Flash toon anyway (Mike points at Meat) _"You look at_ him _and tell me there's a God!"_
Holy crap. I remember watching gameplay of Whiplash on G4 back in the day and thinking it was a fever dream. Seeing it now after... God knows how many years, and realizing it was a real legitimate game is insane to me.
I was a pretty big fan of Freaky Flyers growing up, even if I'm not good at it. Not only are there side objectives in races, there's a bunch of secret characters you can unlock through various means. Some have stories, but several Vinny may not have seen do not.
You wanna know the funniest bit of that werewolf sonic game? It actually saved the franchise after 06 nearly killed it. Its shockingly good for a game with a blue hegdehog becoming a werewolf. Still sunday stream material, but you might actually enjoy bits of it.
Altered Beast really does remind me of Sonic the Werehog and I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually where the idea came from. My stance on Sonic Unleashed has always been weird idea but pretty fun execution. Sonic becoming a werewolf was definitely out of left field but it's pretty fun beating the stuffing out of the everything.
Fucking wild Gift is in here--there is absurdly little well-recorded footage of any version of that game. Found that out when I got curious after hearing the soundtrack in a PS2 playlist.
The best way i could describe Gift, is if someone took some bloody walrus bile putty, tried making a kangaroo stopmotion figurine out of it, left it in the oven a slight bit too long, and then put urine-marinated goat eyeballs in the eyesockets. At least the guy seems to be a skilled bartender. In the intro sequence he's shown mixing drinks while juggling the bottles-- even as a bottle is still flipping in the air. Man's got that going for him.
Whiplash, Altered Beast remake, and the Aqua Teen Hunger Force golf spinoff are the only ones that I love unironically. Gift is weird for the wrong reasons(in fact, it has no tutorial). I thought those four prisoners are gonna be the main protagonists, but the horny gremlin is? Btw, the rabbit from Whiplash was previously in an Xbox exclusive Sonic R-esque game known as Mad Dash Racing. It also had Gex cameo'd in, and was developed by the same company Crystal Dynamics. The game had an awesome soundtrack and main theme(I heavily recognize KMFDM, specifically with one of their sister projects MDFMK and Fatboy Slim's songs Control and Star 14 added), while also underrated like the games played and discussed here.
Huh, interesting to see someone say they love the Altered Beast PS2 game without irony! From my own findings, it suffers from a lot of bad design decisions and shortcomings, even though the transformation cutscenes are top of the line. Also cool to see someone know Mad Dash Racing. I value this sharing of knowledge!
The second Vinny said “ghost vibrations” I immediately paused the video and started singing “I’m picking up ghost vibrations” and gave myself a chuckle. Then I pressed play and VINNY ALSO SANG “I’m picking up ghost vibrations” and I died. I am now the ghost vibration
fun fact relating to 13:47 at the time Vinny was playing Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, Adult Swim aired a rerun of the Aqua Teen episode "Allen" (season 8 two-parter btw, first one to use the Unit Patrol Squad 1 title) scheduled at 12:30am Eastern Time. So you could have either watched him play a bad game based on a good show, or just actually watch a good show instead. As for what I did? I watched them both, because I could and wanted to.
Vinny, you should try i-ninja. It was made by some of the people that eventually made the batman return to arkham asylum and arkham city. The main character is also voiced by billy west
re: Whiplash _Before the game was released in the United Kingdom, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), the Research Defence Society, the chairman of the British House of Commons and the Police Federation of England and Wales were deeply shocked at the level of cartoonish cruelty in animal product testing, despite the whole premise of the game as being against this. They thought it condoned violence and made a joke of animal suffering,_
Having played Hell Pie and looking at Whiplash, I can see the similarities between the protagonists of the games. They both use a chained sidekick as a tool AND as a weapon. And they both cause plenty of pain and suffering to whomever gets in their way, with their chained sidekick.
As soon as Sammy Wasabi showed up on screen, I thought "Well, at least they didn't name him, like, Kamikaze Carl or something." Why... why do I keep putting my faith in people? I know better and yet I keep doing it.
We've come such a long way. I remember when these games came out it was miraculous to have the lips as separate polygons. Now we have software like Blender that can make horrific models just like these with a flick of the wrist.
Freaky Flyers' character models (at least in the cutscenes) looked surprisingly good for an early 2000s game. Like the quality looks to be like fairly close to Jimmy Neutron tier when it's mimicking the facial expressions of those caricature-style designs. Idk maybe I'm just biased because they all have similar vibes to old Chuck Jones cartoons.
8:30 Yo Vinny should definitely play the main 3 Jak and Daxter games. I honestly didn't know if he knew of them, but the games are so cool and weird and sci-fi influenced and he would love them.
I always love when these sorts of videos come out, because there's always at least one gem I end up wanting to try out myself and end up falling in love with.
Btw, in case a lot of your were wondering, the Altered Beast remake he was playing never released in America. So there's a reason not many fans heard of it
The graphics for freaky flyers reminds me of Whacked! Id recommend if you're into "free-for-all" type of game, has whacky maps/characters, random weapons. HIGHLY recommend to have a random stream to it does have an ending
So many shows had something go crazy, which had to quickly be fixed it so that the next episode could start with the same reality intact. Aqua Teen reveled in making absurd and unfixable changes to their world, only to reset the show anew every week.
I played the aqua teen game as a kid with no context for the show it's probably the reason I like weird shit, because it stuck in my head for years before I found the show
I like the Gift's story. It could have done the predictable thing where she either doesn't like him or she ends up being ugly too but nope, it had a happy ending. That's actually refreshing
i only vaguely know anything about Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and nothing I have ever seen of Aqua Teen Hunger Force would ever have clued me in that it was called Aqua Teen Hunger Force
No fucking way. Gift is one of the most obscure ps2 games out there. I found it in a chinese bargain bin in like 2004 and bought it for $3. At the time, there were absolutely no guides or mentions of it online lol
My fight or flight (no pun intended I swear) reflexes immediately activated upon hearing the Freaky Flyers narrator--before I even knew what I was listening to haha. I played this game so much as a kid, thankfully all of the trashy humor going over my head. There was a vs. mode that you could try to destroy the other player that I remember was kind of fun. The levels got weirdly in depth, too, with how many objectives it gave you--sometimes REALLY hard, too. Never finished the game though 'cause I vaguely remember some submarine level being really difficult and kid-me didn't know how to beat it. Thanks for such an unexpected but delightful whiplash back to childhood, VInny
I loved the aqua teen hunger force game for ps2, I loved unlocking everything and watching some of the more well known episodes of the show included on the game.
Man, i had a copy of gift for the gameboy colour, without the manual because it was second hand. it followed the same beats, but it had literally no story, dialogue, just with screencaps lifted from the game. no puzzle mechanics either, just a top down platforming slashing game
I was relieved a freaky flyers demo disk for ps2 when I was around 8-10years old. It was the best arcade flying shooter I have ever played. The humor for the time was captivating. The Game was difficult. And the art style was awesome. I bought a copy 20 years later. Very nostalgic.
That Gift game sort of gives Tex Avery, there was definitely a time when short-heighted, big-nosed and wrinkly-faced heroes would pull up absolute bombs of chicks, most famous cases being Droopy and Red Hot Riding Hood, Roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit, and additionally Tex Avery's mascot cowboy and the hot cowgirl in The Wacky World Of Tex Avery.
Whiplash had this officially licensed series of side-scroller flash games I played once as a child. I don’t remember much specific about them besides that you can whack a toilet at one point and it just spews out a flood of poo.
Whiplash is actually pretty fun! I remember playing it as a kid on one of those PS2 demo disks and had to get it a while back just to check it out again!
oh my god I remember that game from the opening, rented it a lot and I had that kind of stubborn determination to make myself like it as a kid because I _wanted_ to like it from the premise alone
Seeing Binyot play Whiplash was interesting. As for PS2 Altered Beast, I remember seeing it in a gaming magazine but never did I see any footage of it on G4 compared to Whiplash.
1:21 There's actually another game that Mike Stoklasa played, I don't remember but it was some kind of Star Trek PC game (shocking, right?) And he's on record for saying that Star Trek game is what made him realise videogames aren't for him, because he understood they'd delete his productivity.
i had a colonoscopy the other day and i can only imagine the doctor's point of view was just like freaky flyers

Up until Plantasm at least.

As much as some people might think they look crusty, I miss the exaggerated cartoon style that some of these games had. You don't really see that much nowadays.
Between a stylistic look and realism, I'd always pick the former myself.
If I want to see some ugly realistic faces, I'd just look in the mirror.
honestly i like how whiplash looks
agree. i actually think some of the best art direction playstation has seen was on the ps2
Realism ages, style doesn't.
Back in the day I hated that style for being so omnipresent and unfunny, but after being out of fashion for so long, it seems almost retro and nostalgic.

22:38 vinny is increasingly sounding like a videogame villain
Yes
Kinda sounded like the villain from Jak and Daxter
He sounds like a mix between Psycho Mantis and Clyde Cash.
As someone who uploaded the whole Freaky Flyers soundtrack, I admit it is a game i sincerely enjoy. For all its doofiness, it is actually fun and there are some gems in its gags.
God's bravest soldier, uploading the OST for Freaky, you got me into digging into it's history, man!
It feels like someone somewhere while making this game asked "hey boss how much racism ya want in this thing" and the boss answered "yes"
It feels very Freakazoid to me (positive)
Yeah, it's great...except Torpedo Run, which I'm convinced is fucking impossible.
People kept saying Intestinal Track was the hardest...how little they knew...
That Aqua Teen game is partially based on an old Atari game called Ninja Golf. Similar premise in which you fight enemies while golfing.

it means both "poison" and "married" in swedish!
Whiplash is actually pretty fun! I remember playing it as a kid on one of those PS2 demo disks and had to get it a while back just to check it out again!
i think the freaky flyers devs were just super duper high.
10:21 A glimpse at the parallel world where there's a Vinny Vinesauce Experience podcast.
7:55 dirty deeds done dirt cheap
I hope someone makes a compilation of Roadkill
That game was magical
Whiplash looks fun, actually. Hopefully I can find a port or emulation somewhere
oh my god I remember that game from the opening, rented it a lot and I had that kind of stubborn determination to make myself like it as a kid because I _wanted_ to like it from the premise alone
Seeing Binyot play Whiplash was interesting. As for PS2 Altered Beast, I remember seeing it in a gaming magazine but never did I see any footage of it on G4 compared to Whiplash.
I had forgotten about Whiplash for nearly 20 years until this video. Played the demo over and over when I was a kid.
Can we get an Aqua Teen episode where Vinny does every voice
1:21 There's actually another game that Mike Stoklasa played, I don't remember but it was some kind of Star Trek PC game (shocking, right?)
And he's on record for saying that Star Trek game is what made him realise videogames aren't for him, because he understood they'd delete his productivity.
funny that these are considered weird nowadays because most games try to be cinematic and realistic, back then this was...just normal and fun
1:35 Is that you doing that with the camera or is the cutscene really like that?
