I heard people were down on this remake for not being "new" enough of an experience. I've played through the first level of the remake and it seems like it strikes a nice balance of preserving the original experience while adding small quality of life changes of the sequels.

I still remember the game informer ads from the early 2000s. Feels like another world. Invader zim was on tv dude. Woah.

If they remade 2, I'd love to have the co-op tether made larger. It felt like you couldn't go more than a few blocks away from your friends.

Playing through this made me want to see Mercenaries get a remake. Sadly I think EA still owns that.

I honestly would pay AAA money for 2 remake, I was excited hearing this one was being remade and even happier it was only $30, well worth the money imo.

I remember one of the older games had split screen co-op and oh my god it was a blast back in the day

Another thing I quite liked was the blending of the game into the greater mythos. They’ve added a lot of side references to DAH2 such as Gastro the janitor, and the retooling of features like transmog make it feel cohesive. Seems they definitely are working on a DAH2 remake (although not officially stated) so I’m keen to see that.

This series was my jam when I was a kid, especially the second one. I'm glad this game got the remake it deserves, and I hope they're able to do well with the other games. If they made a new game, that would be cool as well.

Destroy All Humans for the PlayStation 2 WAS at that time to us hard cor fans what the remake is now. So the fact that the people who hold all the copyrights to the game and have the say so to make these choices NEVER forget how special the original ones were AND why.... Man... That's beautiful... The first two Destroy All Humans games are absolute masterpieces in my eyes... 👽

In the rampage missions, you absolutely have to transmogrify or destroy vehicles that are worth more points. I got 3 stars on every single rampage by just going after every marked car I saw. The game doesn't tell you that completing the optional objectives will net you more points lmao

18:25 Who is CVIT torturing while he makes videos?

The last like 2 weeks you have released 6 high quality videos including this one. Very great content.

Damn man good job at cranking these out! Amazing video as always :)

The amount of QOL on the remake is AMAZING. some infuriating stuff become viable now, and the zap-o-matic can actually kill people.

Loved this game as a kid, loved the remake. Cool to see you doing a vid on it

I had very similar criticisms in my review. I like how you were respectful to both games. I may not agree with you entirely but this was a well put together video! 🤙🏻 good job

Destroy all humans is responsible for my love of gaming now, I remember playing it at my friend's house and I'd always be captivated by it.

just gotta say i felt the cortex scan part was intutive, when you do it you get a similar audio response the the brain one. there are also indicators like the rockwell one on pretty much everything, transmog, exploding objects etc. i think you do a really good job and and are passionate about your videos, i frankly love them and the little section of youtube youve craved out for yourself. I would just implore you go that little extra distance to actually confirm one of the points youre going to discuss for over a minute. (like when you saw the indicator on ms rockwell, you shouldve gone "well now i should go back to see if i missed those in general" which you did.) i know i know, its a really minor thing, but it does tarnish the overall review a tiny bit. keep up the good work, love the content thats been coming out recently and the frequency has been a blessing as well, you deserve a break!

I have so much nostalgia for all the originals except the first one oddly enough. I played the second one first because a friend got it and EVENTUALLY I got the first one myself but could never really get into it after playing the other entries. I've been skeptical about getting the remake bc of that but this vid is making me wanna give it a try

You've been really good at uploading quickly like holy shit.

Duuude my man's is spoiling us with all these back to back uploads!!!! :D

I remember a kid at school showing me DAH 2 ad in the Eb games page and how excited I was

i hope if they remake the second game, they add an option to reset/replay side missions, and rework the bosses like they did here

Congrats man you got yourself a new sub!

I kind of almost forgot this remake came out this year .

Jesus dude your upload schedule lately is pretty nuts. Not complaining at all but still don't overdue it! Love the video game focus lately and glad you can diversify well.

I was half asleep when 19:00 happened. Needless to say being a touhou fan it woke my ass up real quick

Agree with the ammo changes 100% & psychic power feedback. Great take dude!

I brought this remake, did mostly everything on about a week, was at the final boss and kinda just put down the game and forgot to pick it back up, I'll have to go do that soon.

Another fantastic video! How the hell are you putting these out so fast though?

Yooo civit love the vids bro good job 👏

I thoroughly enjoyed the remake but the one thing I miss is the old PK mechanics. You could troll NPCs so hard, and using it didn’t make citizens instantly see through your disguise. And didn’t instant kill them either.

Cvit is on a roll with these uploads

"...Destroy all humans 5..." WhAt I barely realized there was a third one

I think Kiwami for Yakuza was a great way to do a remake

beyond excited for your review and comparison of the 2nd game remake!!

I hasn't realized how much I missed this style of gameplay until I played the remake. It was phenomenal!

oh. okay so someone else who's had trouble with the destruction mission, it's actually fairly easy when i realized what it wanted me to do. doing that mini game it'll tell you to 'drain the marked vehicles', that's it. if you drain them you're golden & you'll see your progression bar shoot up in no time at all. prioritize draining vehicles & dropping your nuke boogers on large amounts of buildings whenever it's possible.

A few things I dont like about the remake is people don't get knocked down when you throw things at them. People don't disintegrate when on fire or with the death ray, Holobob compromised is great for weapons but its annoying when it happens because of using pk.

I'm sure you're over the moon about the Destroy All Humans 2 remake that was announced. Super excited for it, I had a blast playing this one

Honestly I'd call it a restoration instead of a remake. Just like fixing up an old car, fixing everything that needs fixing but leaving things as they were when new.

I remember going to PAX and getting to play the demo of the first couple missions. I was the only one that was having no issues with the controls and breezed through it. Got my photo taken with guys dressed as Crypto. That was a great time.

i know its been a while since its been out, but i would LOVE to see you make a DAH 2 vs Remake review now that its been out for a while

Man I loved the second one, I played it so much.

I didn't know that you made a comparison for RE3. I'll have to watch that after this

God i hope they remaster DAH2 (an already perfect sequel imo). Also loving the frequent and high quality video game essays 👍.

Love the videos! By the way, you can also buy the original physically for PS4 from Limited Run games, right now.

Well, now I'm looking forward to the comparison vid between the Original Destroy All Humans 2 and the Remake. Have such high hopes for it after how great this remake was.

I Love the sliding across the ground gimmick, I really do. But I don't like how you can just do it whenever. Lol I Love the limitations of only being able to run in the original. 🤷‍♀️

always wanted to play this game and now i have the remake i now know i was missing out on the fun

Mission replay on free roaming games is such a great feature that I'm sad not many of them have. Sometimes I just want to replay missions without having to restart my save file. I really liked that Sly 3 and 4 included it.

Anyone: You can't nitpick for 30 minutes straight... CVIT: * GRABS MIC *

Jesus Cvit. I am surprised by the amount of content recently. Don't work yourself too hard into a slump. :)

The side mission in the saucer actually makes sense, I’m sure you were too wrapped up in the fun of blowing shit up to notice but the actual goal is “destroy marked targets” on your minimap all marked targets are yellow. You can still blow up buildings for extra credit but the focus is on the marked targets if you want 3 stars. Also, just a side thing to mention when you were talking about Cortex Scanning, distraction, and Forget saying how it’s hard to tell when it’s starting or finishing I respectfully disagree. With Scanning it shows the tether pulsing from the brain of the individual you are scanning to yours. With distraction it shows the tether implanting the thought into the head of the person you are distracting. And with Forget it shows the same thing as distraction but a different color. Also the range in which you can Holobob is indicated on the crosshair, when it’s just blue *you’re not in range* if it’s blue and yellow *you’re in range* And one last thing, they are Remaking Destroy All Humans 2, what they do after is up in the air. I for one don’t want a Destroy All Humans 5, I want a real attempt at a third game. There never was a Destroy All Humans 3 since anything that came out after 2 dropped the numbers. Also, Path of the Furon was complete garbage and I want them to just remake the first two and make a third game set in the 80’s.

announcment trailer came out recently, im really excited

This was an interesting review :) Will you be doing a review on the Destroy All Humans 2 Remake?

point of note, the original had a bug, that allowed you to use the "charge" weapons/abilities MUCH faster by tapping instead of holding, (kind of like how in the old GTA games you could tap run to infinitely run), they didn't so much rework the probe, as notify you of the bug that they kept in, and re-classed as a feature. i think they don't tell you about said change outside of the controls picture, (the * by all the things that can be sped up by tapping) is it was a bug in the original, not a feature, so it was never mentioned in the game, but only on the playground and in gaming mags. so when they remastered it, they just copied the script and stuff, and in the end, decided to help the newcomers out by informing them of the bug come feature, via the controls picture, instead of doing the thing that would cost more money and time, editing the other game files, and re recording the dialog that references it.

I personally believe that Black Forest Games should remake DOH2, but create new sequels like what happened with crash 4, creating a new story off of the original 2 games story

I loved this game when I was a kid and I love it even more since the remake I especially like to have fun with the telekinetic ability upgrade to pop brains and it then transfers to the closest NPC so I get a high wanted level and just watch the carnage unfold

Free love is in the second game It's also in the remake of the second game. Which explains why they didn't add it in the first game.

19:53 TBH the "bonus DNA" objectives are in reality "do this to actually win the challenge". For Annihilation, when it says "destroy the marked vehicles for bonus points" what it really means is "we lied about this challenge expecting you to destroy buildings, that's just something you can do for fun in between hitting the Drain button on the marked cars so they die a slow and painful death". Okay it'd probably be more expedient to just laser one car after another after another and do nothing else. I say "probably" because my attempts to test this theory have almost put me to sleep in 60 seconds flat, literally, and I do mean "literally". It may have been late that night, but I still count it as a strike against your game if it fails to cost me more than three hours of of sleep. Every other part of this game managed to do that to some degree, except those specific challenges. Puh-theh-tek! PS All the kids I knew as a child were selfish dicks and my mom hated video games, so I'm super glad I finally got to experience this game! Thank you for showing me all the little details I might've been nostalgic about, cause I play a good remaster I want to pay my respects to the original and the folks who worked on it. It feels like a lot of the current Black Forest devs played the original as kids with how much attention to detail and polish goes into everything, right down to excitedly showing you the before and after shots almost as if the whole game was simply fanart.

I'm still not a fan of how cartoony the NPCs look in the remake. I much prefer how they looked in the original game.

Psychokinesis was honestly more fun to play around with in the original, in the remake it feels like they were more focused on making it a more efficient power, forgeting the point of the original developers, and why they choosed to do it the way they did back then.

If they remake Destroy All Humans 2, THEY have to have 2 players in, with splitscreen and online co-op. if they don't put splitscreen in they might as well say get the PS2 version for offline co-op.

I can't wait for the second remake!!

DaH is one of my favorites, and the fact we got both of the sequels remade is just a dream come true.

I have the remake on Nintendo Switch, and as a fan of the originals, I am enjoying it. The remake for Destroy all Humans two looks really good from what was announced.

18:25 umm excuse me but what the hell is going on in the background?

I love seeing your opinions on these games I wanted to play back in the day but never got around to playing since I got like 2 games a year. Good video Cvit.

it warms my heart to know theyre remaking the second game

I love the original! I also loved the remake, i did all mission's on 3 star and did all optional tasks, I unlocked all upgrades, 3 stared all challenges and found all DNA probes. 100% game save and 100% achievements! Loved it! Can't wait for destroy all humans 2 remake!

I am from the future and DAH 2 is getting the remake treatment

i didnt realize how fast the remake is compared to original. i did play it as a kid but i hardly remember the exact details of it. but i do love what they did with it. has that cartoony fun feel most ps2 games had.

17:50 in the original version Pox also had some lines if you tried to buy upgrades in the shop without having enough money. Which was cut from remake.

Something I realized the second time I played the remake was that you can brain extract from the saucer 🤯

Well your getting your wish. DAH 2 is coming. And I hope that it does well enough to warrant my favorite, the only one I actually played back in the day, Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon.

“I want a Destroy all Humans 2 remake with this.” Well wish granted…

The game does actually tell you how to cancel out PK abilities like Telekinesis. It's at the bottom of the Abilities list in it's own section. Tap Y (Xbox), Triangle (PS4) not sure on PC. That way you can put down an NPC without throwing them, cancel a Cortex Scan or cancel a Mind Control command.

Is the Yakuza retrospective series going to continue? Loved that first one, quality content 👍🏻

Oh cool, I played this game a long time ago. Seems like it did enough to bring the game to the current year. Also, lol, that Touhou song.

8:39 I think the reason for that is they have the feedback weirdly done with controller vibrations...while I get the idea, it is still an issue if your not playing with a controller, so idk why they didn’t have better visual/audio feedback.

They changed the mechanics of the brain harvest so that it’s useful in combat, hence the upgrades to it, but I agree with most of your points in this video, great content

I personally love DAH2 more than the first I hope they make a remake & improve on it where they can. Also a bit of a tip for Annihilation on the remake. Ignore focusing solely on destroying the buildings. What you gotta do is go after the bonus dna, usually it’s “drain x vehicle for extra dna” that’ll fill the bar faster. When you’re in between getting the extra dna destroy buildings, cars, & anything else with the heat ray & sonic boom. I don’t recommend using the quantum deconstructer unless you need that final bit of the bar & you know you won’t be able to reach the extra dna.

I remember playing Destroy All Humans as a kid. Good times...

I played the remake. It's my first Destroy All Humans that I played game and I loved it. I have good news. They are going to remake Destroy All Humans 2.

And now we have a remake of 2, and it's just as awesome

10:32 I almost 100% this game (gave up on some boring challenges) and never knew that you could speed up Cortex Scan, Brain Extract and Transmog D:

Thanks for this video

So... are you just not seeing the pulsing lights that flow through the tether into and/or from the target when using things like fallow, distract, forget, and brain extract?

Just dumped 20 hours into it and 100% over the free play weekend on my Xbox One X! Loved the original 2, and this game DELIVERS! The gameplay and quality of life changes were amazing, and the graphics absolutely blew me away! I literally stopped and stared at the beach/sunset on Santa Modesta for like five minutes lol. I’m sure we will get a remake of 2 considering they exceeded sales projections and it’s garnered decent hype and reviews.

Orthopox is voiced by Invader Zim's VA. New dialogue complaint no longer exists.

you get to press the 'X-button' a lot. fun to hop around.

Great video.

Love this game.

Back during the 360 days I had only played path of the furon and had never went to different places. I was always messing around and it was very fun

I dunno if anyone has noticed or if it bothers anyone else but the ps4 version of DAH! 1 introduced some bugs that weren’t in the ps2 original, such as the shield bar flickering when pressing L1 and often for no apparent reason. This single bug hinders my enjoyment of this version and I’ll instead take out my old ps2 copy of the game. The xbox one version on the other hand has no big issues like this, at least from what I’ve seen from watching others’ gameplay

My only issue is the fact they reused the voice lines which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't sound so poor quality and doesn't fully sync with the movements of the characters most of the time.

i am here from the future and destroy all humans 2 has announce a remake

I really hope this means we are getting a DAH2 remake soon! Then they should do Path of the Furon, then make a sequel set in 1989!

Destroy All Humans 2 is going to be insane.
