Shadow of Rome was one of the MOST underrated games ever released! My brother and I have beat it in all difficulty levels normal, hard, and extreme (which is unlocked after you beat normal and hard.) Pretty much you can only get a copy from online stores, as most places don't sell PS2 games, let alone one that is kind of rare.
Shoutout to playing with my brother. One of our favorites. Bittersweet that Dead Rising was made on its framework. Love DR, but wish a sequel was in the cards
they need to get this type of game going again... a good gladiator game where you fight in the arena with combats like shadow of rome, maybe with multiplayer capabilities too or maybe they need to remaster this game
No the Octavian/Agrippa thing is pretty accurate. Octavian, assuming he's meant to be Octavian Augustus Caesar, was Julius Caesar's nephew and heir and one of the greatest emperors in the history of the empire. Agrippa was his close friend, ally and adoptive son and heir. Adopting people into prestigious families was a way of helping them rise in social status, and was one of the ways Augustus compensated his friend Agrippa for his support, even though they were of equivalent ages. Octavian was a political genius and a skilled administrator but he was frail and weak and poor on military matters, which mattered a lot in ancient Roman society, so he leaned heavily on his dear friend Agrippa for such things.
Octavianus the future first princeps Augustus, one of most important figures in the history of europe and the middle east, is a playable character doing stealth mission. That just had me chuckle. Never imagined him knocking people unconscious with pottery to advance his political goals ^^. Next Capcom partners with Will Wright for their upcoming game ''Sim Dynasty - Augustus Wedding Planer Edition''.
Shadow of Rome and Dead Rising 1 are instant classics. I can't wait to play DR1 again so I can wash the horrid taste of DR4 outta my mouth. I've finally platinumed the game and now, I'm ready to leave it behind.
Tyson W DR1? Hell yea. DR4? Hell naw. I was hoping to 100% it by the end of December, but couldn't manage it. The multiplayer trials were an annoying grind.
Tyson W I platinumed DR1, and I figured I platinum in the same place again. Get it? This isn't the worst game by far, not by a long shot. I've platinumed worse games than this, much worse.
You're the first of these dime a dozen youtube game analysis essayist guys to discuss this game. Good on you, it's one of my favorite games of all time (and I'm resentful we didn't get a sequel despite Dead Rising coming out of it)
*PRO TIP:* The easiest way to beat those annoying "Team Battle" battles is to first wound your opponents to the point of limping and then destroying all of the statues. If you kill the opponents new ones will be released, but leaving them limping it will ensure that they are slow and pretty useless.
They need to make a new Shadow of Rome, or remaster it! Also, this a great video & it helps me appreciate Shadow of Rome even more. In fact, I basically played this game & Ejay Clubworld on PS2 all the time, I hardly touched my other games because of them.
Capcom did a poor advertising campaign. I almost never would have heard of it if it weren't for an ad for it in an Onimusha game. I'm glad I saw it cause it's one of my favorite games of all time.
@@armorwolf7934. Yep. Area 51 was another criminally underrated game tbh. It came out in 2005 and was made by Midway. Psi Ops:The Mindgate Conspiracy was another fantastic Midway game that released around that time and many didn't hear about it cause Midway were going under
@@Deadsea_1993 I played Area 51 I found it out on mortal kombat deception it came with a demo of Area 51 and I really liked the game that I bought it and I had a jampack with this game genji very underrated I bought that to cause I really liked it the 4 onimusha games look really fun i got into a series last year Tenchu and I finally beat the third one on ps2 this year so good and I heard of psi ops the game looks cool castlevania curse of darkness is a good game that came in 2005 and destroy all humans
Shadow of Rome was the first game I really committed to finishing, back when I still 15yo. It’s also mu second favorite game, after the Metal Gear series. I loved and been trying to find it for PS4 but I don’t think they have it. I might buy a ps2 just to have this game and play whenever I like, since I’m old school when it comes to gaming.
Great video. Regarding your conclusion where you mention bias; I feel the exact same way but in the other direction. I love Dead Rising 1, but I honestly love Shadow of Rome more, maybe it comes down to something as simple as me having played Rome when it first came out. When I first played it I enjoyed every bit of it, and only upon more replays than I can remember did the stealth sections start to grate on me, though I enjoyed them earlier on, what kept bringing me back were the gladiatorial combat parts. In fact, I distinctly remember having enormous trouble beating Decius and Antonius the first time through, then by my last playthrough I went through both of them without taking a hit, with highly aggressive tactics, and even messing around with Antonius by kicking him in his behind for the salvo and just tossing roses into his face. That sort of disparity of skill at the time reminded me a lot of Devil May Cry, and primed me to take on DMC3 a little while after. Thanks for rekindling those memories.
Arn Grim I agree. The arena battles steal the show and still unmatched today. Even though the stealth sections hold the game back, thankfully you can go back and play the arena battles any time in battle selection.
Shadow of Rome is one of my favourite PS2 games. Excellent graphics which still look stylish and detailed, brutal combat with a lot of feedback and i just found the whole thing really enjoyable. I had no idea there was going to be a sequel and i wish it happened. Now we just need a proper Dead Rising sequel because DR3 was mediocre and DR4 is pretty much an insult to fans of the series.
Awesome video. I've never even heard of shadow of rome before but it looks awesome, reminds me a lot (in gameplay and setting) of a.c. origins if it came out in the 2000's.
I want Shadow of Rome remastered.. now that capcom has grown bigger throughout the years, i think the remastered version along with minor changes ( like being able to explore rome a little bit more and making the game more open world) will make more sales than it did. I would to play this remastered version and its sequel. I just finished again playing it on ps2 and I always come back to play it again. I love this game.
Ever thought of looking into the Onimusha games? Funnily enough the MT Framework was based on the Onimusha 3 engine, and playing both Shadow of Rome and Onimusha 3 really feels like there's a certain vibe they have in common (hell there's even a Shadow of Rome trailer in the extras section of Onimusha 3)
I hope this game sees the light of day again. I never heard about it until this video and it looks like a tons of fun. I can imagine Capcom would make a remaster or even a remake using the RE7 engine if there was enough people asking for it. Hopefully it happens before a Dead Rising 5 or Dead Rising remake.
I got gold trophies on every arena fight, it was really hard and took me ages to achieve lol, I tried playing this on an emulator in my android phone but it runs like crap.
Nice, interesting stuff. It would be nice to see some sort of Dead Rising/Dawn of the Dead video showing how the film influenced the game, and the legal issues Capcom had with Richard P. Rubinstein.
Wild Rover not a bad idea! Might be worth researching. It's been years since I watched Dawn of the Dead, and I wouldn't mind resesrching the lawsuit if there's any info I haven't seen
Shadow of Rome was pretty fun actually. The spying and hitman techniques of Octavian and Agrippas brutal battles were dope amd the fact that they were friends despite Agrippa being a slave... Underrated 4 sure.
If only this gem was released on PC; then a mod can be done to remaster the game. A remastered release won't happen - just isn't financially viable; maybe it would be more likely possible if it were released across other platforms rather than PS2 exclusive, so it had a larger consumer base. Yet. Remastered version to rework faults in mechanics would be great work.
Wow I'm so on the fence here now I know why there was no shadow of Rome 2 , because I love the dead rising series but I love this game too from throwing heads into the crowd and making "human volcano" I found it to be so fun also I loved the extreme difficulty of the late game bosses particularly the last one , I genuinely don't know if I would have preferred a shadow of Rome sequel to a dead rising game , all I do know is that shadow of Rome Is a seriously underated game and can't figure out why it didn't sell
great video, i never realized how two of my favourite videogames where almost the same series. I guess things like these are unavoidable in an industry with so many people working on a game and publishers moving teams around. I wish it wasnt the same case for ubisoft games tho
I loved this game so much, it’s actually pretty addictive. I can see why people didn’t like it as it did get a little repetitive but given a chance it’s fun.
Octavianus (Augustus Caesar) adopted Agrippa, and Agrippa was older than Octavianus. Octavianus adopted Agrippa due to his military prowess and help in winning several battles for Octavianus and to set him up to be next in line as emperor after Octavianus (Now Augustus) centralized the Roman power structure onto himself. Also, Agrippa was older than Octavianus when he was adopted.
Splitting Dead Rising 2 up like that would have been so cool, especially because Terror is Reality was only used in the prologue and never seen again outside of multiplayer. The pieces were there, they just needed a framework. Even if it’s just the same DR2 with a few more TIR shows scattered around, I think it could’ve worked and made the throwaway multiplayer a little more immersive. Also, are those gladiator weapons in Dead Rising assets used from Shadow of Rome? If so, that’s a cool callback.
I honestly think that Capcom, instead of re-releasing DR4 with a shitty title, they should have re-imagined DR4 (similar to what they did with DR2 and OTR) and made Vick the new protagonist of that game replacing Frank. This resolve would potentially appease the fans, imo, while making up for that awful game that was made.
I remember getting Shadow of Rome as part of my purchase of a PS Slim. I loved the game a lot as a kid, minus the stealth segments. When I played DR for the first time, I thought I was going crazy when I found an Antique shop with assets from Shadow of Rome. It was a shame too since I was hoping you could equip the armor, or use the Gladius as a weapon...
Holy hell, Shadow of Rome! Man I totally forgot about this game - I owned it back in the day and have very fond memories of it. I think I'll try to find a copy of it! Thanks man. Also: MT Framework is the friggin' best.
It seems that the sequel was going to be placed in Egypt, implying that Cleopatra was the one who was aiding Sextus in his attack against Antonius. Sadly they decided to drop the story, shortly after starting developing it.
New to your channel and love the Dead Rising videos! I searched your channel and couldn't find your thoughts on or a review of the movies, ever thought about doing a video on them?
Okay I'm obsessed with Dragon's Dogma, want Capcom to port this over, sometime. Remembers God Hand not being on Steam.Actually nevermind this will take a really long time, might not even happen.
The combat and eating animations are literally the same animations from Dead Rising. You can see a lot of the mechanics and even some of the UI is the same too. It was clear right away that Dead Rising came from this.
Fucking how? I literally looked this game up two days ago. Game actually made me sick to my stomach playing it as a kid, so I wanted to see how'd it effect me today. I feel like you might me stalking my activities somehow...👀
I wish this was ported over to Steam, at least Dragon's Dogma is the next best successor. But that game is six years apart with influences from DMC4 RE5 Lost Planet 2, so it uses animations, coding, scripts from those and it muddies the resemblence.
I had never played the game, but I was always heard that Breath of Fire V is where they developed the mechanic for like starting over a game when dead with your levels. So I always heard that was more influential? Maybe it was just that it was the team that made that game that was shifted over to making Dead Rising in the first place.
If only they stuck with MT...recently I came back to DR and DR2, and I had completely forgot about how many steps back they took. It just makes no sense to me to drop an engine to make a new one that can't do half as many things, just to crank up the zombie count in a way that was mostly self defeating.
Dragon's Dogma took Dead Rising's mantle, and the ladder outsourced to Blue Castle. Luckily Dragon's Dogma is also far superior to Dead Rising, with better combat, enemy variety, partners, character customization, platforming, bosses, length, side activities....etc
Great video man. Frank bouncing off walls when launched is also ripped completely out of Shadow of Rome! Even when human enemies are blown away by explosives looks pretty much identical to the animation in SoR.
Your talk of having two playable characters in a game with two different playstyles around 15:31 reminds me of Secret Agent Clank and Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy as those games do use that very concept.
GhenryPerez oh, okay. I watched all of your DR videos and they made me subscribe to your channel, this video reminds me why. You're great, and I hope you success in this platform
A possible explanation of the father in law situation is that the emperor didn’t have child but adopted those he deemed worthy. Agrippa was one of them I believe. Also for some reason many romans had hard times having children but no one really knows why besides some theories
Shadow of Rome was one of the MOST underrated games ever released! My brother and I have beat it in all difficulty levels normal, hard, and extreme (which is unlocked after you beat normal and hard.)

I played shadow of rome so much as a kid then grew up a little bit and played dead rising a ton. I had no idea the two were connected.
This shocked me too, since the setting is drastically different, yet combat isn't much different
Don't forget about the giant Gladiator statues in Dead Rising 2's South Plaza
*PRO TIP:* The easiest way to beat those annoying "Team Battle" battles is to first wound your opponents to the point of limping and then destroying all of the statues. If you kill the opponents new ones will be released, but leaving them limping it will ensure that they are slow and pretty useless.

still playing it today, amazing game
When in Rome, do as the Roman's do. when in dead rising, cover wars as frank west would do.

5:07 nice mortal kombat music I can still hear my guy knocking the dude into the hot metal ass the then the thing smash him
My fav game i liked the game so much
Doesn't sell well due to difficulty, is a ps2 game....hmmm for some reason it makes me think of the word *HAND* but i don't quite understand why....
It seems that the sequel was going to be placed in Egypt, implying that Cleopatra was the one who was aiding Sextus in his attack against Antonius. Sadly they decided to drop the story, shortly after starting developing it.

Imagine saying ancient Rome was boring
I LOVED Shadow of Rome and Deadrising is in my top 10 ever games. But I never noticed this until I watch this. Great vid 👏
03:53, that eating animation seems familiar

The combat and eating animations are literally the same animations from Dead Rising. You can see a lot of the mechanics and even some of the UI is the same too. It was clear right away that Dead Rising came from this.
Got this game in a charity shop recently, I scored a hidden gem!
I got it back in the day because it was capcom game but did you know it was gonna have a sea battle in it but that didn’t make it into the game!

Heeeeey... Did you notice how the run cycle is almost the same as Frank's?

The use of the song daylight seemed out of place but I love it and am here for it
I wish this was ported over to Steam, at least Dragon's Dogma is the next best successor.
But that game is six years apart with influences from DMC4 RE5 Lost Planet 2, so it uses animations, coding, scripts from those and it muddies the resemblence.

Yeah, I felt like 2:31-3:21 was perfect for Dunkey so I imagined his voice in my head.
legomanmegaman2 yea that's the part
This reminds me of the dead rising wii gameplay a lot tbh idk why
Great video! I think there's also a jump kick that was reused in Dead Rising.

Great video man. Frank bouncing off walls when launched is also ripped completely out of Shadow of Rome! Even when human enemies are blown away by explosives looks pretty much identical to the animation in SoR.
Your talk of having two playable characters in a game with two different playstyles around 15:31 reminds me of Secret Agent Clank and Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy as those games do use that very concept.
It really is a shame Mad World never got ported to a system with an actual controller. The wii mote just holds it back in my mind.
It's okay. Anarchy Reigns, the much better game, is on normal consoles.
I waited this for so long... Did you announce this in the Frank Rising video?
I teased this at the end of my Dead Rising Wii review
GhenryPerez oh, okay. I watched all of your DR videos and they made me subscribe to your channel, this video reminds me why. You're great, and I hope you success in this platform
A possible explanation of the father in law situation is that the emperor didn’t have child but adopted those he deemed worthy. Agrippa was one of them I believe.
Also for some reason many romans had hard times having children but no one really knows why besides some theories
When in Rome....TITANS GO!
👍🏼👍🏼
One of the best games ever They should bring the game back with more Colosseum battles add in the sea battles that they used to do in the real Rome
From Shadow of Rome 2, to a Project Climber project rising from the ashes.
