used to be absolutely fascinated by the ads for this game in PC Gamer when I was a kid. We didn't have a computer that could run it, so I could only imagine exactly what kind of mayhem I could commit in a game where you literally possess your enemies. Thanks for covering this piece of my youth!

@johnnybensonitis7853 Жыл бұрын

One thing I had forgotten over the years that I believe goes well with your comment is just how so many game devs went about handling themselves during interviews, behind the scenes vignettes, etc. It was all profanity mixed with the stereotypical 'dudebro talk' of the time, and maybe a little about the development process or upcoming game. Watching the old God Of War featurettes really blew my mind. One of those guys actually said, "Playing GoW will get you laid." David Jaffe is one of the few would could pull that off in a genuine type of way, or maybe he was being completely genuine but he still knew when to dial it back a couple notches unlike so many of his peers. A game being able to get someone laid is what kills me the most I think, especially from back then lol. The guy should have mapped out some logistics on how that would work since a game back then maybe could help with the whole process provided they are present or some type of significant other. Or, maybe that guy was being literal as if playing the game instantly gets you laid, like spiritually somehow? (Sorry to go on and on out of the blue here, but I'm actually very normal)

I remember discovering a trick in multiplayer where you could place buildings high up in the sky, specifically that tower with the big disk-like walkway around it, and would then place teleporters on it and gyrocopter spawners, usually right over the other teams base. It seemed like the coolest thing ever, until a week later when someone did it to the team I was on... And not long after that every single game devolving to which time could rush to spawn-camp the other with flying fortresses. I apologize for 13 year old me single-handedly ruining the Giants Citizen Kabuto Meccs vs Meccs meta. XD

Many, many times I dreamt about playing that game. I had tons of game magazines i went through before I actually had a computer as a kid, so once I had one, i put on the demo and i was really put off by the controls. Verticality, overall vibe and that initial cinematic is what made me finish that demo, but i never went and play the whole thing. That being said, whatever review you out, it makes me go "oh, i remember that one!" It's like taking a trip down a memory lane. Keep it up, you're only person I have that stupid bell icon notification on, because i saw every single video you've put out, and i just don't want to miss new one

This game was hard to run back in the day... unless you had the absolute cutting edge hardware of the era, when released, it was a bit of a slideshow. I think this is why the game intrigued me as much as it did back then. Looking to play it with a voodoo 3 I think at first, then various GeForce cards... It took a while before it would even run well enough to determine if it WAS a good game or not. But the title stuck with me for whatever reason. Never have gotten far in it... but now and again I'll reinstall it... try it out... get nowhere... and quit for years once more. Its gimmick with the LOD's were that the poly's could infinitely auto scale. It made it a weird, always warping looking, odd sorta look though.
