From what I remember, Bruce Willis was supposed to be a sidekick in this game but Neversoft and Activision was worried the game would sell terribly unless they had him as the main protagonist in the game. It'll explain why some of his dialogue sounds a bit out of place at some points as if he was talking to someone because they didn't have time to redo dialogue for him.
Same I've been trying to figure out what it was for years. I always had in my mind Bruce W was a part of it and I thought the game was called armageddon haha.
I imagine what the proposition was like to Bruce Willis about starring in this game: -You run around, shoot, kill guys, blow shit up. -Sign me up. Pure awesomeness.
During development, the original plan was you weren't going to play as Willis' character, but as his involvement decreased as development went on, they changed it so his character was the hero as to reduce the necessity to have spoken dialogue as was originally intended.
@@jeremyriley1238 You can tell this from many of the one liners being direct fourth wall breaking lines, as if Willis is talking to someone. He was, YOUR character. It's very interesting to compare the prototype prison break section to the final one. Of course, it seems like such a smart move to have the player PLAYING Bruce and not being his partner.
Also, we didn't get a Mimic horror/detective title starring .... the other friend to Lisa Kudrow in Mimi and Michelle's High School Reunion... don't remember her name at the moment. Mira Sorvino, any relation to Paul Sorvino ... that was or is her name
The Apocalypse game engine was reworked for use on Neversoft's next title, the seminal Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.[6] Already having in mind that they were going to begin work on Tony Hawk following completion of Apocalypse, the team said they had developed rough in-house playable demos of Trey Kincaid skateboarding around Apocalypse's game environments in order to experiment with the way they wanted Tony Hawk to feel. Even though Neversoft continued to develop and evolve the engine primarily to suit the needs of the Tony Hawk series, it was also put to use in another action title by the team, the popular Spider-Man game they released in 2000. The aspect of the engine that allowed for the live-action music videos to be displayed within Apocalypse's game world was also utilized in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater as well as other subsequent Neversoft titles.
jo go You know what the funny thing is, Spiderman for the ps1 also scared when I was a kid, it turns out people who made this game also made Spiderman, they sure know how to make' em grimy.
I guess its because of the "punk" style of the game: the cities with a huge tecnology but dark and brutal, like at The Matrix, The Fifth Element ( which Bruce Wyllys plays too) and Blade Runner. There is a correct name of this style, but I dunno
Watched the entire walkthrough. Man the memories... So many movie references i didn't noticed that time. My favorites are when Trey enters the labor to see Larry and says to him "I thought you were dead" is a quote directly from Escape from New York and and the robots at Level 8 war factory are modeled after the Ed209 from RoboCop. Not to forget the Pulp Fiction reference Trey says to his ex girlfriend "It's a Chopper Baby" just to name a few.
Because it's all about the enjoyment and good memories that your brain will happily remember, not random stuff that happens in your life. Think like this... When you keep getting older and older you will want to remember stuff that didn't mean nothing to you or you will want to remember moments that defined your life? (not just games but everything that for you is a sweet memory that you will be happy by remembering it) That is why you remember something that happened ages ago but you don't remember what was your lunch 2 days ago (for example).
Good lord,this game brings me so much memories back... I played it a LOT,and i even finished it! It's one of the best games i've ever played in my childhood!
That game made my childhood, alongside Colin McRae Rally, Tekken 2-3, Driver... Unfortunately my dad confiscated it, the game had a 18+ rating back in the day, and I had gotten a pirated version from a friend. The War Factory and War Bossfight were scratched or something, I could only ever go straight to the White House. Always played at night, when I was supposed to sleep, sound nearly turned off and TV brightness as low as possible so I didn´t get caught. Aaaah, fond memories. The world was a simpler place back then, and Bruce Willis still kicked ass.
haha my parents never gave a shit about this game and me and my sister playing it, it might be because it was pirated without cutscenes and voice lines. as a kid I only got to the white house level, got stuck there because I got to the checkpoint in front of the white house with 30% HP.
I discovered this game by accident and ended up loving it. I thought the ending sucked though. He should have at least delayed the apocalypse for a generation.
So thats the story before the events of the fifth element occured :D As a kid I always loved the music in the game, remember after playing I went to "Options" just to play the soundtracks ^^
Likewise. One of those PS magazine demo discs i believe. I played the heeeell out of it. Seeing some of the differences though, I think it might be better without the quips
Wow this game looks sick. I remember it. Funny how 15 years later I'm still enamoring it's graphics. Today's games may look more realistic, but this is just soooo more sick!
Bruce Willis was the beginning; one of the first Hollywood stars to appear in a video game. Now, so many movie stars, huge celebrities, even Oscar winners have video games out now or coming in the future.
Best thing is that even my dad loved this game when I was little. Because his favorite movie actor plays the main character. Keeps saying the quotes from the game randomly after he played it. Thanks dad for being so awesome those days!
I had a demo disk and I would play the demo over and over hoping that the game would glitch out and I’d be able to play the full thing. I miss being a kid
the first game I EVER finished...and it was at one of those places where you paid by the hour to play the game...the guys there saw that I might finish the game the way I was playing so I only ended up paying for 1 hour but I played a few more :P
At least here we had professional A-list actor doing the dialogue. You can instantly notice the difference in the quality of voice acting, when comparing to other games. But as a game, this is decent. Not bad, decent.
I was 5 when it came out I never played it. Instead I watched my father play jt and beat it. I’m gonna buy a PlayStation 1 and beat this game. It’s the one that got me intrigued into video games. Brings back so many memories.
one of the best ps1 games use to play this a lot as kid i don't get why there has never been a squeal for this game is ridiculous a remake of this would be nice
The ending was kinda confusing. The Reverend created beast yet it turns out that he is beast. It would have been nice if the president was Beast and after you killed him a grand battle with the Reverend himself would have happened.
I still remember this game, so epic! ...a lot of action going on. The levels are very well done, plus the music is good. I would definitely play it again.
I always meant to own/try out this title along with the Fifth Element for the Sony PS1 but then time passed and I grew up.... honestly, there were way to many releases during this time 1990's-2000's and I could not buy or rent them all. Forsaken , Xena PS1, Hybrid Heaven, Fade to Black, Tomba series , Tobal series, and Body Harvest also come to mind
otro increible juego de la era ps1/saturn/n64! todavia lo sigo jugando a pesar de tener 17 años y haber nacido durante estas nuevas generaciones. Estos son juegos y no como los que salen ahora que son mas de los mismo (CoD , PES o FIFA) principalmente en mi pais que solo se juega eso.
Bueno, teneís la suerte de seguir jugandolo. Yo tengo mi ps1 ahi tirada, y el juego no lo encuentro por ningun lado. Necesitaria saber donde estan los viejos vendedores de juegos de ps1 !!!!
sino podrias chipearla asi te grabas el juego desde un CD o comprarte una de esas consolas raspberry pi que estan muy buenas y emulan practicamente perfecto ps1(en mi caso eso es lo que voy a hacer yo,ya que lamentablemente ya no poseo mi PS1 y quiero volver a usar este genial juego) o buscar el juego por internet en cualquier pagina como ebay, mercadolibre o amazon por nombrarte algunas!

Fun fact about this game: The engine was later on used for the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
Hmm, thanks for that little tidbit of information; that is a genuinely fun factoid !
💪👍🏼

Bruce Willis always puts a smile on my face.
+Davian Steiner Bruce is love Bruce is life.
+deathangel273 Was that really necessary?
+Jeremy Riley Yes it was :^)
I’m a big fan of Bruce Willis
this really deserves a remake! you dont get to see this king of awesomeness anymore...

It'll explain why some of his dialogue sounds a bit out of place at some points as if he was talking to someone because they didn't have time to redo dialogue for him.
Actually this makes a lot of sense, I kept wondering how a scientist would be able to gun down highly trained police and fight his way out of prison.
After over 10 years of wondering what that game was in my memory that I could only remember bits of, I finally found it.
Hahaha, same here.
same, i have been trying to find this for so many years. my journey ends here
Same I've been trying to figure out what it was for years. I always had in my mind Bruce W was a part of it and I thought the game was called armageddon haha.
Same to me.
I knew exactly how the game was, I could even remember the levels, but I had no Idea of its name.
After 20 years now lmao time flies
I love the QUOTES:
"Don't shoot! I have a wife and kids!"
"ooooohhh you want some OH YOU WANT SOME TOO !!!"
"Can't you pull the trigger any faster?"
"forget his rights, just shoot him!"
"I'm not getting paid enough to do this crap!"
I imagine you weren't, Bruce.
Bruce's performance in this game is better than A Good Day To Die Hard.
60:47 - Level 9: War
63:49 - Level 10: White House
69:22 - Level 11: The Beast
73:48 - Ending & Credits
For it's time those cut scene parts actually did have some great graphics
I imagine what the proposition was like to Bruce Willis about starring in this game:
-You run around, shoot, kill guys, blow shit up.
-Sign me up.
Pure awesomeness.

Sadly we didn't get the often overlooked Escape form L.A. videogame tie-in from Kurt Russell or a 3D Gladiator video game with Russel Crowe.

One of the best games of PS1.
Artur Pitanga not even close but i respect ur opinion
Yea and I feel nobody has ever heard of it
Unbiased Opinion it’s like Siphon Filter, the way it plays and the sounds. Good older games.
@@robertojaketti7370 😤the worst game of all time all the obstacles Falling
@MalcoMex I've seen worse ps1 games on the spotlight than this one I don't get how is there so few people that knows about it or even played the game.
This game scared me when I was a kid for some reason.
me too it was a grim satanic image of the future. Reminds me of another game called messiah for pc. Also like a fear factory or marlyn manson album
jo go You know what the funny thing is, Spiderman for the ps1 also scared when I was a kid, it turns out people who made this game also made Spiderman, they sure know how to make' em grimy.

Oh, i remembered: Cyber Punk
King of Ebla same to me.
Bruce Willis hits door switches the same way i flush public toilets: an aggressive slow motion kick

Cool style to this game in terms of music, funny dialog, and glowing greens throughout the game. A rarely mentioned classic IMO.

“FEEL THE BURN KID!” Man the nostalgia
"Praise be to the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle".
I discovered this game by accident and ended up loving it. I thought the ending sucked though. He should have at least delayed the apocalypse for a generation.
Still so wild to me that *Bruce Willis* voice acted for a PS1 game hardly anyone remembers.
What I wouldn’t give for a sequel or remaster.
So thats the story before the events of the fifth element occured :D
As a kid I always loved the music in the game, remember after playing I went to "Options" just to play the soundtracks ^^
This game brings back so many memories ,
"These guys need a little more lead." You're using a flamethrower.
one of the best ps1 action game
Its amazing how the videogame companies even with better consoles cannot surpass this diamond :)
Never owned the full game only the demo but I played the hell out of it!
Same here.
Likewise. One of those PS magazine demo discs i believe. I played the heeeell out of it. Seeing some of the differences though, I think it might be better without the quips
Wow this game looks sick. I remember it. Funny how 15 years later I'm still enamoring it's graphics. Today's games may look more realistic, but this is just soooo more sick!

Slap one on it's time to jam. Ooowww that felt good!! Some of my favorite lines from this game.
Tarde años en encontrarlo, pues me quedé con la idea que tenia algo que ver con el Quinto Elemento, de los mejores juegos.
+Brayan Axel Salinas Aviles somos 3 yo tambien jaja
Antonio Cruz yo siempre supe que era Apocalypse pero creí que había salido de una peli y buscaba películas llamadas así
Lastima que el juego de El Quinto Elemento es una mierda jajajaja pero este esta increible
"Don't shoot! I have a wife and kids!" lol yeah right
"ooooohhh you want some OH YOU WANT SOME TOO !!!"
Mr.Redmond S.Fox "Can't you pull the trigger any faster?"
Mark Moore
**while shooting**
"OH YEA OH YEA OOH OOH OOH"
Might have been pretty funny to hear Bruce Willis say random phrases to a mic.
Mr.Redmond S.Fox "Kill 'em all! Let God sort 'em out!"
"Forget his rights, just shoot him!" *gets shot* "MY ARM!" xDD
Bruce in Apocalypse was like Duke Nukem on steroids... Oh, wait....
48:50 just music
Poe - control (apocalypse version)
I played the hell out of this as a kid
Best thing is that even my dad loved this game when I was little. Because his favorite movie actor plays the main character.
Keeps saying the quotes from the game randomly after he played it. Thanks dad for being so awesome those days!
Son: "Mom i want Super Mario."
Mom: "We have Super Mario at home."
Super Mario at home:
Gets put in prison, seconds later breaks out kills everyone.
Brucie style. :)
So 90's... Bruce Willis, fast action, great music, nice catchphrases from Bruce...
So many awesome quotes in this game, you don't need me to list them for you! Pure refined awesomeness.
I had a demo disk and I would play the demo over and over hoping that the game would glitch out and I’d be able to play the full thing.
I miss being a kid
Bruce Willis
a lot of games from the psone era had these fixed cameras like resident evil, silent hill and this. glad they've changed a bit since
Strap one on, it's time to jam!" this game was so fucking awesome, loved playing this as a kid.
Wow!! I loved this game! Still sits on my game shelf awaiting a sequel...
One of my first played game in 2000 PS1 PlayStation....one of the best game ever...still remember the game when seeing this video....
the first game I EVER finished...and it was at one of those places where you paid by the hour to play the game...the guys there saw that I might finish the game the way I was playing so I only ended up paying for 1 hour but I played a few more :P
*LOL* Bruce Willis caring more about his job in this game than most of his movies in the past 20 years
Nostalgia pura. Caiu uma lagrima aqui...
Então me abraça irmão
17:49 I wish I had play this when I was younger. I would surely lose my mind right about here
wow memories, havent played it in like 10-15 years but when I watch this video I remember it as it was yesterday..
"Nice polygons"
Ah that got me
the camera angles are a bigger enemy than the actual enemies themselves
At least here we had professional A-list actor doing the dialogue. You can instantly notice the difference in the quality of voice acting, when comparing to other games. But as a game, this is decent. Not bad, decent.
FOR ALL WHO FIDING MUSIC! ON 48 MIN PLAYS SONG: "POE CONTROL" NO THANKS!
Thank you so much for this video this is my favorite game when I was a kid! After playing I keep yelling "drop one arm it's time to jam!"
activision sure was the shit back then before they got lazy with COD
Actually Activision just produced it, Neversoft was the studio who made it.
***** Yeah but originally activision was working on Apocalypse,but they scrapped it,and Neversoft took the project
Finally found the game after 10 years of trying to find it :), great childhood memories
que gran juego para la epoca, hasta dan ganas de comprarse un play one para volverlo a jugar
I haven't one psx with apocalypse,off you haven't one you cane download the fame on pc

yes, but as another boss level, like...
Level 12 - The Reverend
до сих пор помню последний уровень, когда пол под ногами проваливася, сколько раз перепрохождил этот уровень))) добрые воспоминания)
This game was the definition of BADASS !!
I played this all the time back in the day, can't believe I stumbled upon this again!
So it's actually a real game and not a fever dream I had.
I still remember this game, so epic! ...a lot of action going on.
The levels are very well done, plus the music is good. I would definitely play it again.
I freaking love the song of the rooftop!!!
So EVERYONE knows and stop asking, the mono audio is in cutscenes ONLY, actual gameplay is stereo.
This was my first game
El mejor juego de esta consola, ninguno lo supera,simplemente espectacular!!!
Man, Neversoft was a legendary game developer. Screw Activi$ion by closing it forever.
3:32 Here we go, chief.
And so my childhood began.
This is still the best game ever made, even in 2015! So much memories ;_;
Ever?
Hardly
For a ps1 game that camera work is flawless!
My 1st game in PS1
Greatest Bruce Willis movie never made
MY FIRST GAME i've ever played :)
This was the first game that I owned when I got my ps1!
Miss the 90s as a kid one of favorites of the time.
God, I loved this game back in the day.
Thank you.
Station 7 demo disc, great memories. It also contained V8 and MGS
I always meant to own/try out this title along with the Fifth Element for the Sony PS1 but then time passed and I grew up.... honestly, there were way to many releases during this time 1990's-2000's and I could not buy or rent them all. Forsaken , Xena PS1, Hybrid Heaven, Fade to Black, Tomba series , Tobal series, and Body Harvest also come to mind
This game is so underrated.
Thanks for posting this 😊 this takes me back
The gameplay in this looks so much like Metroid:Other M, except without the dodge move.
the atmosphere of that game,looks like my dreams
I still own this game and it rocks. Thanx for the vid
Just recently found out the name of this childhood classic, such a good game!
