Any Olympic game is gonna have to be made for dirt cheap and on little time in order to be worthwhile especially since they probably aren't going to be able to monetize it to hell and are gonna have to send a ton of money to get the licensing. That's where most of the budget is going actually. Then three's the fact interest in the Olympics well of course falls off a cliff after the actual Olympics are over. So it's just not worthwhile really. Nobody is gonna put the effort in to make a AAA quality Olympics game because you'll never make your money back. I think in some of the more early days of the gaming industry it made more sense but with the way things are now when it comes to what it takes to make a game? No way.
I was already binge watching old sidemen Olympics and now josh just dropped what an amazing day it is. I hope the others do a more sidemen video on this, this game is so goated even if its 12 years it's still the best Olympics game ever.
I’d love to see more videos with the boys of stuff like get the worse scores possible, try to finish second or third. Yes you have done it before but there are a lot more events you haven’t done these on.
Thank you for sharing awareness of this beautiful game. We still can’t unlock the last two outfits. We’ve had thousands of hours from this over the years. Still crap at high jump tho 😂
Man the nostalgia of watching this,trials, gta etc with the rest of the boys whilst you guys were just uploading them on your own channels (before moresidemen)
do an olympics version of simons big brother clubs, get 7-8 youtuber each day there will be 3 events the perrson with the least points will be eliminated, if multiple people get 0 points or same points then there will be a voting final two go against head to head in a 5 event special finale and the winner gets a cash prize, at the end, if they want to, winner can challange you in a 3 game session of their choice and if they win at least 2 out of 3 then their cash prize is doubled, if they lose they lose the prize completely.
To get the timing perfect on the swimming, watch the hands of the swimmer! you press the right analogue stick down when the right hand is at the top of the stroke, same for the left hand. It works on all 4 disciplines, and you don't have to wait for the prompt
We NEED SEGA to make this game available again. I would love to play with this game but, because i didn’t buy the game back in the day, i can’t… SEGA let us play this game!
Mate the table-tennis alone made us re-buy Rockstar table tennis. It’s currently about four quid. Hours and hours of fun. This is from someone who used to get an hour’s worth for 10p when I was a kid and I’d go back a year later and my hi-scores were still there 12 months later. Happy days. Love this video
There’s definitely a gap in the market for a more serious athletics/olympics game, I loved track and field growing up and the old Olympic Games, with online capabilities nowadays something like a 40 player battle royale style elimination (fall guys like) would be amazing alongside the traditional game modes
I really need to get back to beijing and london type of olimpics, straight and mature games that really earned value when replaying with hard to master mechanics, as if it really were a sport
Can we please have Zerka vs Simon vs Ethan vs Vik on this game on Moresidemen please 😢 I loved the old vids where you guys competed in London Olympics! No other Olympics game has been comparable to this.
i can tell bro wants to play this game but he's embarrassed cause he's playing this game 12 years later. I can tell bc he said London 202012 and said in the title "I Played London 2012 Again Because Every Other Olympics Game Is Bad..." Its ok Josh we want u to play this game.
I watched this when it came out but just came back to say in 9 hours this has as much views and even more than some of your recently posted videos please do more London 2012
This video popped up on my front page, and it reminded me of a story I’d like to share with you all, followed by a question. When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I discovered a demo or browser version of London 2012 that I absolutely loved. It was the closest I ever got to owning my first video game, as I had only played on a friend’s PSP and Nintendo before (my parents would never have bought me one). and it was way better than any other browser game. The browser version had one or two mini-games and constantly advertised the full game for purchase, likely on Steam. One day, I asked my parents if they would buy it for me. To my surprise, they agreed, but only if I could install it myself. We went to the nearest GameStop, and that’s when the struggles began. I managed to set up a Steam account, insert the disc, and follow all the steps, but I could never get the game to start (nothing happened when I clicked "start" on Steam). So, that’s the story of how I got my first video game but never got to play it. That's why I have a deep connection to London 2012. If you have any idea where I can buy it now, please let me know. I would love to try it out at least once. I can't find it on Steam anymore-maybe it wasn’t on Steam back then but that's how I remember it. Have a good one!
Quite why no one has been bothered enough to release an updated Olympic Games game (and not some Sonic-based nonsense), baffles me. Make a good one and it’ll sell bucketfuls. Me and my son still cane London 2012 and Beijing 2008. Anyone who ever played Hyper Sports would be screaming ‘take my money!’ My torrent ratio for this .iso alone is ridiculous. It’s a 6gig image and I’ve shared nearly 2TB’s of it. And the names are update-able as well. Edit: Rude of me. Thanks for the upload 👍🏻👏🏻
12:19 Video idea: Each person has a position that they have to get our they get a forfeit. eg: Josh has to get second place in one event and it cycles between each person and position
Like what the hell happened to this style of game, they were some of the most popular games during those years even years after the olympics, really sad how they stopped being made, they need to make a comeback.
Behzinga screaming "SHE'S DROWNING" and Vik saying his guy broke his neck on trampoline.... the nostalgia is realllll
SUH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo suh
I didn’t read that I heard it bro
No
I've just been from watch his video
Need this on moresidemen while the Olympics is relevant.
idk why theyre not doing that. theyd actually get so many views while entertaining us.
Would the servers even be up still? I'm not sure how it works
I agree man!
I think its down@@QuantumNetwork
@@QuantumNetworkI think custom rooms may still work I believe.
“London 202012”😂😂😂😂😂
This geezer probably thinks he’s playing a early version of Olympics 202012 🤦♂️🤦♂️

I will never understand why gaming companies don’t attempt to tackle making a new GOOD Olympics game. It’s criminal.
The hosting countries probably don't have a good gaming interest. Probably someone in 2020 made a lewd game lol
@@phenomsairam1350 And thats why everyone needs to support the Polish Olympic bid
its probably just too hard with licensing, not worth the hassle because most games dont even make that much

this just brought back so many memories of peak mm7games era sidemen content
I love London 202012 😂
i thought i was bugging when i heard it
@@cheekclapper3357same I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it for a second and had to go back😭
You need to play ATHENS 2004. That game was ahead of its time
I’ve been rewatching the old videos recently I think every year the Olympics start people get into the mood for these videos
Josh the creator! Get the boys back on this game, we need them raging!
The Creator IS BACK!!!
I was already binge watching old sidemen Olympics and now josh just dropped what an amazing day it is. I hope the others do a more sidemen video on this, this game is so goated even if its 12 years it's still the best Olympics game ever.
my uncle worked on this game so to have watched you guys play it for so long and to hold it to such a high regard is completely unreal! thanks josh
My uncle works at Nintendo and let me catch mew
@@BZgAdamn you just wanna get involved so bad huh
Bro get him to make it playable on Xbox one
@@NitroMaestro my uncle is involved
This has fully sent me down a London 2012 nostalgia trip. Even reinstalled the game again
How do you get it on pc
How to download plz tell me
Dont mind me, im now going to go back and binge the london 2012 zerkaa playlist
London 2012 was way ahead of its time I would love another game like this spent hours on hours glued to this game
Josh blessing us with the goated era of YT
Athens 2004 is the GOAT of Olympics video games.
This is a throwback, i remember all the old olympics vids and i'd exclusively watch them on Josh's channel back in the day
Athens 04 on ps2 is an elite game straight up
Surely we can get ONE MORE moresidemen vid on the Olympics seeing as it's happening irl
This video has sent me down a long spiral of watching videos from 6-9 years ago of London 2012 videos 🤣
i’ve been watching back then videos the past week then you come out with this banger
London 12 is like the Rugby 08 game hasn't been a better version of the games that this
These last few days, no joke i had an urge to watch ur London 2012 videos and i enjoyed them, somehow u made a video about it againn
bring this back you and simon need to go head to head
I would love to see you play Athens 2004. What a masterpiece.
LONDON 2012 is the last REAL Olympics videogame, the ones that came after are jokes
202012 that’s a new one. Haven’t heard of that before 😂😂😂😂😂
0:26 "you own the women's breast stroke record" lol yeah I sure do
Athens 2004 is easily the best olympics game ever
You sir have had great memories, my tactic for the 100m used to be thumb and index fingers together while I slide my finger nails along x and o
I’ve been binge watching the old videos over the last few days!
I’ve been rewatching the old ones because I miss it and Zerkaa uploads a new one 🎉🎉🎉
No way I was binging the old olympics videos and you now upload a new one. We need all the sidemen on this please
This man has clearly never played Athens 2004!
A full squad among us olympics would be sick, 2 people have to get a certain position in like an 8 man lobby
I’d love to see more videos with the boys of stuff like get the worse scores possible, try to finish second or third. Yes you have done it before but there are a lot more events you haven’t done these on.
You should do an online multiplayer game with subscribers think it'd be such a great vid fr
i always remember vikk being good at the long jump and triple jump, and either great or terrible at swimming always loved those videos
I love how the Olympic brings us together, amen to that always.
I was literally rewatching the old ones yesterday
I was searching for the old videos last night and couldn't find them? Bring this back on Moresidmen!
Got any clue when illuminate is coming out 😂❤
Not a chance that's releasing anytime soon mate 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing awareness of this beautiful game.
We still can’t unlock the last two outfits. We’ve had thousands of hours from this over the years.
Still crap at high jump tho 😂
Man the nostalgia of watching this,trials, gta etc with the rest of the boys whilst you guys were just uploading them on your own channels (before moresidemen)
My fav olympics vid was the wone where you guys tried to get the most silvers, added a new dynamic to the game
Love how London 2012 vid has almost 5x the views of the Paris 2024 vid, goated game this one
do an olympics version of simons big brother clubs, get 7-8 youtuber each day there will be 3 events the perrson with the least points will be eliminated, if multiple people get 0 points or same points then there will be a voting final two go against head to head in a 5 event special finale and the winner gets a cash prize, at the end, if they want to, winner can challange you in a 3 game session of their choice and if they win at least 2 out of 3 then their cash prize is doubled, if they lose they lose the prize completely.

Did I not just see you live streaming? This man's overwhelming us in the best way
The problem with this game is the difficulty, even the top one doesn’t feel difficult
I’ve just been binging all the London 2012 videos as well and I see this 😂
We NEED SEGA to make this game available again. I would love to play with this game but, because i didn’t buy the game back in the day, i can’t… SEGA let us play this game!
I was just watching old videos, every Olympics I remember this and rewatch all episodes, this is great 😁
These were some class videos back in the day
Mate the table-tennis alone made us re-buy Rockstar table tennis. It’s currently about four quid.
Hours and hours of fun.
This is from someone who used to get an hour’s worth for 10p when I was a kid and I’d go back a year later and my hi-scores were still there 12 months later. Happy days.
Love this video
This really brought back soo many memories fully. Nostalgia kicking in
Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games is goated
Really needed this today. Welcome back “The Creator”
Honestly, I think if Josh could find the right people, he could absolutely get a new game made
There’s definitely a gap in the market for a more serious athletics/olympics game, I loved track and field growing up and the old Olympic Games, with online capabilities nowadays something like a 40 player battle royale style elimination (fall guys like) would be amazing alongside the traditional game modes
I really need to get back to beijing and london type of olimpics, straight and mature games that really earned value when replaying with hard to master mechanics, as if it really were a sport
Need to get more people playing this game online servers are still live, its the goat of all olympic games
Can we please have Zerka vs Simon vs Ethan vs Vik on this game on Moresidemen please 😢 I loved the old vids where you guys competed in London Olympics! No other Olympics game has been comparable to this.
By the way, Josh holds every Sidemen record in this game, except for Women’s Vault.
You know what must be done
The London 202012 Olympic Games is memorable. Ah, the good old times.
I was just rewatching this series
i can tell bro wants to play this game but he's embarrassed cause he's playing this game 12 years later. I can tell bc he said London 202012 and said in the title "I Played London 2012 Again Because Every Other Olympics Game Is Bad..." Its ok Josh we want u to play this game.
This game was absolutely epic, no idea why they cant do something similar anymore
ive been rewatching all the old videos what are the odds this game was so good
Can watch this game of u just playing it on repeat hope to see more vids in the future maybe getting some of the boys on as well
This is one of the best Olympic Games ever created
The rest that I’ve played a very bad
BRO YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. I PRAY THEY REMASTER IT FOR NEXT GEN OR SOMETHING I BEG
The great Olympics game of Twenty-Twenty-Twelve has many great tales.
One of the best games ever made! Well ahead of its time (proven still to this date that nobody can even recreate it)
Simpler times, it’s crazy that they never made a game anywhere near as good since
London 202012 was always my favourite 🤩
Yes Josh! A moresidemen London 2012 video in 2024 would make our year 😂❤
I watched this when it came out but just came back to say in 9 hours this has as much views and even more than some of your recently posted videos please do more London 2012
This game, a bunch of Tubers, Some alcohol and a forfeit for the loser would be a fantastic video.
Someone should mod this game to today's Olympics
I feel like the sidemen could 100% find a modern version of this game.

Simple solution. Josh creates LA 2028 Olympics game. Side quest games studios
Video idea: going for the worst performance possible at the Olympics - see what are the lowest points/scores/results in the game
Bro choked the last dive 😂😂😂
26:36 muggle born lol
This game has more sidemen written all over it. Just doesn’t hit the same without the rest playing it and competing.
The return of the creator!
This is so weird was just rewatching some old videos today🤣
12:19 Video idea: Each person has a position that they have to get our they get a forfeit. eg: Josh has to get second place in one event and it cycles between each person and position
Tap tap and just go ‘oh’ 🤣🤣
This and also the Beijing one was fantastic, otherwise been poor for Olympic games over the years.
London 2012 was ahead of its time definitely should be on ps4
Like what the hell happened to this style of game, they were some of the most popular games during those years even years after the olympics, really sad how they stopped being made, they need to make a comeback.
bro really traveled 20,000 years in the future for this
mad thing....2012....i remember the whole group playing this....had it been THAT long already??😢
Please get the OG Sidement Olympics group back!
Need this back asap ❤❤❤🎉
