“You never shot an innocent man” “I never met an innocent man” that was pretty fuckin cool lol

Played this when I was a kid so my mom had to block the Lucas Arts helpline 900 phone number. It was like $5 a min & I was unsupervised

"Outlaws is an immersive sim, which is why it is barely remembered and has a dedicated cult following" -Civvie 1138

15:49 I can't stop replaying this part. The animation of him jumping onto the train and spinning his revolver before the level starts is so good.

I swear, the way how they model the revolvers during the cutscenes would make Marty Robbins shed a tear of joy.

AX3 saying “you get no bitches” at the end of the emotional destabilization bit caught me off guard, bravo

I love the final far-away _“dammit”_ from Dr Death right before he hits the bottom of the mine shaft. It’s just good comedic timing

I'm amazed that this game has a moving skybox. Some modern games don't even do that anymore.

I honestly kinda love how since Anderson's shooting arm is usually shown to be his left in the cut scenes it is made the same in-game as well. A strange but interesting little detail to help strengthen the connection between the character you play ingame and the one you see in cutscenes.

The rule of Outlaws is: The more teeth you have in your mouth, the more evil you are.

The marshall being quiet in gameplay is really cool; it's like he's completely focused on fighting his way through these goons.

Yeah, generally once you get someone who goes by "Doctor Death" involved in anything, you've kinda tossed the reins aside and said "fate, you're steering now".

Damn, the cutscenes really are amazing, no doubts here! Love how the main villain is not an one-dimensional evil evil dickhead, who will shrug off any of their henchmen's mistakes because he's evil for the sake of it like they do in many movies. He's actually not happy with Dr. Death's misdeeds, and doesn't allow Bloody Mary to kill the child. Even if it's more for the political and business reasons, it still shows that he thinks rationally and isn't a violent psychopath that lacks enough brain capacity to figure that pissing off a retired marshal may not be the best idea. Kinda unexpected from the game of that time.

There is also an easter egg on the first map its in one of the port-a-johns outside theres a crack and you need a stick of dynamite thats secretly hidden in one of the houses. You blow it up and inside you see a bunch of aliens about to do an autopsy on a cow, it creeped me the hell out when i first saw it as a kid. There are a bunch of funny gags about cows in this game, like you can find another cow that is chilling underwater but you can only get there with cheats.

As a Deaf person, I just want to say thank you very much for the closed captioning on your videos! Heavily appreciated! And I love seeing these videos about old LucasArts shooter games! Huge throwback.

Listen to Outlaws OST, in particular "The Last Gunfight", and then listen to Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold". The whole soundtrack is an homage to Ennio Morricone, and to Westerns in general. Perhaps one of the best soundtracks to ever be produced for a game (yeah, I really mean that, and there are some brilliant ones out there). It's an absolute gem of a game.

An absolute gem that doesn’t get enough attention

Fun Fact: Spittin Jack Sanchez, the second boss of the town level appears in different spots on the level according to the difficulty. On "Good" difficulty he always shows up at the storehouse near the hotel to the west after killing 90% of the outlaws in the level. On "Bad" difficulty he will randomly appear on the map after killing half of the outlaws and lastly on "Ugly" difficulty he always spawns near the player. last time i played, he showed after i cleared out the saloon and was heading to the pharmacy when he showed up and one-shot me. scared the piss out of me!

I played Outlaws back when I was like, 5 on my dad's old computer. I regularly mention that Outlaws is a game that exists, and would deserve a remaster. "WHERE ARE YA, MARSHALL?" is going to be a line that sticks in my mind forever.

Absolutely adored this game as a kid. Those early LucasArts games were really special Grim Fandango, Dark Forces and Jedi Knight. Great memories

“Always kill the children”, well this game didn’t learn but atleast anakin got it right

The "you get no bitches" line got me. I wasn't expecting that.

I *STILL* have my CD of the game, and I remember loving the fact that they let you listen to the soundtrack with the game disc in music CD players. That game was in my music disc book (REMEMBER THOSE KIDS?) for so long. Thanks for the nostalgia trip, Civvie.

Civvie proves he ain't a fool. Remember: Quitting will just make the cowboys mock you harder.

Richard Moll is a class act. He also voiced Two Face in Batman the Animated series

"Don't be a fool, Marshal!" Always remembered the bad guys saying that line for some reason.

The thing that always struck me about this (like the first Dark Forces) is the way it merged a lot of genres. Nominally Outlaws is a FPS. It plays like an FPS. But there's this rich vein of Lucasarts' point-and-click adventures running through it, too.

God damn those cut scenes are great. The character designs, the animation, voice acting, music, it's all just so damn good. Something about the scene where Dr. Death loses his pistol just hits good.

Damn that ending is actually really good, I wasn't expecting that from a game like this... Daughter taking the shot that her father couldn't... I need this game, lol.

The Ballad of Dr. Death is catchy as hell and is full of interesting motifs. I couldn't help but yip along every time I heard that palm muted riff in the video. Even if the level it's attached to was a dark maze filled with pain and misdirection.

I love when Civvie randomly drops film history deep cuts. Man’s a scholar.

I would love to see the original 2D animation team do a show for this. The style choices are ridiculously good looking

opening a door and Max suddenly instakilling you is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on this channel Edit: since I have all this attention now, Pro Sam And Max when Civvie?

That "Max, dearest of all my friends!" quote from Max Payne hit me. Pro Max Payne when, Civvie?

"Where are you marshal?" Most under-rated voice acting line in history. But yeah classic game this, tis a shame it never got a sequel. Playing on ugly really made it feel like you were in a spaghetti western well and was good training on hit scanners

I've still got my copy. There's a very good reason I've been collecting physical media for over two decades. The soundtrack is absolutely fabulous!

I still fondly remember booting this thing up in 97, and even my 12-year-old ass was blown away by those cutscenes. Style for days.

Cheers to you, Stephen Ash. Thanks for all the hours we spent in some truly amazing games. And Daikatana.

Thankful my father brought me Outlaws, Doom, Witchaven, Dark Forces and many other gems of the decade! You were the best, dad!

Not gonna lie - that is some of the most stylistic, creative, and cleanly animated game cinematics I have seen - considering the time period and the risks they took with it.

This game has a striking resemblance to Call of Juarez: Gunslinger if you ever get to play that one. It's absolutely fantastic and has a similar reloading system to this

The art style and 2D/3D blending reminds me of Full Throttle, and Doctor Death really makes me think of a younger Eustace Baggs. Thanks for showing off this game Civvie, I never knew it existed before, and never knew about that Max cameo either, gotta pick this one up now.

The expression work on the character's faces, especially Anderson, are insane. I don't usually feel much when I watch animated character facial expressions, but damn his makes my dead heart twitch just a bit.

I wouldn't mind Nightdive getting their hands on this one. Looks like excellent fun and the next generation deserves to remember the lesser but just as lovely shooters or yesteryear.

tears to my eyes... i remember playing the first level over and over again (i was five or six years old, don't think i ever got pass the first boss). It's probably the first thing my dad let me play by myself, and i'll never forget the feeling. Thanks for bringing back the memories Civvie. On gog we go!

“This air current nonsense.” That was a solid chuckle for an hour.

This is a childhood core memory of mine, you making a video on this game has made me so incredibly happy.

absolutely got nothing but fond memories watching my dad play this game. such a classic title

Civvie cut my favorite line from the opening. "You never killed an innocent man Marshall" "I never met an innocent man."

Man, I heard of this game before but I never knew it had animated cutscenes THAT good.

I really like the dialogue in the cut scenes. it's back and forth and slightly quippy especially with the doctor, but not to the point of being insufferable and terrified of coming off as genuine.

"you get no bitches" damn, that hit me right in the feels

The character design has such a strong Full Throttle energy that I can't help but love!! Never really paid much attention to this game before, gotta change that now... pardner!

Game of my childhood. The "where are you marshal" line haunts me to this day.

Holy fucking shit I LOVE the animations in this game. It's a damn shame there aren't more and that you don't see stuff like this as often anymore. The folks over at Lucasarts were damn talented artists and animators as well as game crafters. First time commenting on one of your videos and I gotta say I love your stuff, Civvie. I love everything about your videos from the random dungeon bits to your humor and especially learning about some games like this I've never heard of before. Keep up the fantastic work and I hope you have a great day!

Man this game was my entire childhood, it's what led me down the path of loving old timey westerns.. I'd like to thank my grandpa for having gotten this game for my 4th birthday

I want to go frame by frame with every cutscene. It's so busy but smooth. Go to 18:12 and look at the motion of the scruff of hair he has on top going with the motion of him looking around just before Civvie switches back to the gameplay at 18:15. You get that kind of animation if you got people who know what they're doing with a pen and they love it.

I played this game when it came out. I was 10 years old. Man, this brings me back.

25:04 "YOU GET NO BITCHES"

Damn Doc Venture is terrifying in this.

Friendly reminder: A souce port for this is coming soon(tm)... As soon as The Force Engine is done with Dark Forces support.

Huh, in all of my years of watching KZfaq, I don't think I've ever seen "No Views" on a video from clicking on a video so quickly. Love your content as always Civvie 11.

This brought back a lot of good memories, thanks Civvie

Civvie I am shocked that you only mentioned the soundtrack in one sentence. This is one of the greatest soundtracks in all of gaming.

God, this game was my childhood. I still remember playing it on my '95 for the first time all those years ago. God, its been too long. I need to play it again one day!

This is one of those underrated games that I'm really glad GoG has made available again. It's not perfect, but it is still really worth playing.

Jesus, looking at the shots firing at 2:03 you can just feel the quality and effort in this game. The smoke, animation, and subtle screen shake provide such an amazing feel just watching it.

You'd think having to mash R to reload every single bullet/shell would be absolutely awful, but it surprisingly feels really good. Only other game I can recall that does it is "The Citadel". It's rough, janky, and has questionable level design, but goes all in with the gun mechanics while keeping the speed high. It's just so satisfying to play.

There's something so satisfying about loading each individual round into old timey guns in video games. Each bullet feels meaningful. As a kid I hated the westerns my dad was always watching but games like Red Dead and Hunt: Showdown really turned that around. It's really cool to see that this gameplay mechanic has existed longer than I was aware. It's a shame I missed this when I was younger.

Having to contend with the limitations of such old guns is usually interesting in a game that actually thoughtfully incorporates it. I love Hunt:Showdown for it

John de Lancie is criminally underrated.

5:16 great casting, did not expect to see Q cropping up in this thing

Played the demo for years before I could convince my parents to buy it for me. Absolutely loved this game. The looks, the sounds, the smooth gameplay, it brings so much nostalgia. Back when Lucas Arts was just pumping out great games left and right.

Interestingly, weapon sprites from this game were used for Pirate Doom total conversion, which was inspired by Monkey Island, another Lucas Arts game. It's also very fun and I recommend it to everyone.

CIVVIE!!! I didn’t ANYONE remembered this gem. Thank you so much for covering it! I absolutely adore this game.

I still love this game, the atmosphere and creativity, and music are unmatched. Unloading a roaring 6-shooter into a group of enemies, glass breaking and bullets hitting sounds amazing to this day. The sound of the single barreled shotgun was my fav. The weapons FELT powerfull too, that's rare.

Never heard of this game but Civvie is always classic

No friggin' way! Just yesterday I was like "Man, Civvie should review Outlaws..." and here it is! I loved, loved, loooooved this game! First FPS I played, on my uncle's PC...the Morricone's inspired OST, the sound design, the cutscenes...great game, underrated and something which made me fall in love with Italian spaghetti western (despite the story not being like that of a spaghetti western, tbh). P.s.: taking note on the music selection playing in the background, Civvie too loved "the Ballad of Dr. Death": it is an ecleptic and amazing piece of music, and I suggest all of you folks give it a listen; it moves from baroque and Renaissance music to a slapping banjo tune, then adds a choir and ends up in a slower tempo. It is fitting of the character and the level, which shows a descent into a dark mine, with molten lava too at one point.

Just played through this game again earlier this year! First time since i originally played it not long after it originally came out. So fun and great homage to spaghetti westerns

A year later and I still can't believe this episode happened. It's surreal. I really appreciate this channel. This episode kinda hits right in the chest.

"Oh everyone's always on about the _children._ I've _tried_ leaving them alive, but nine times out of ten, they either grow up under my rule or dedicate the rest of their pathetic lives to revenge. ...Usually both. Honestly, killing them is a kindness! I could retract that question -- but _then_ who's the real monster?" "...You are. Still." "I- No, that was a rhetorical question." "And I gave you a rhetorical answer." *Audible silence*

*"You never killed an innocent man Marshall"* *"I never met an innocent man"* What a badass line 😂 RIP Stephen Ash. Ironic when Doctor Death only have one thing left to do... Die Guess the takeaway from this story is always kill the children...? I wish games are like this, creative because of limitations. A lot of love poured into this game

20:17. The marshal missions came with the original game. It was a great addition if you wanted to play a little less linear. When they released the addon they grouped the marshal missions under the "histrorical missions" label. Edit: Also, the game is 2.5D just like Doom and Duke 3D. The geometry is a bit more complex though. To make roofs, pltaforms and room on top of rooms, they intersected sector height - To make a platform in the editor, you drew a rectangle, then made the roof height lower than the floor height. The engine then only draws the intersected sections. I hope this makes sense, don't really know how else to explain it.

Ill be honest this is one of the first videos on your channel that actually compelled me to go play the game halfway through the video.

This game has what I consider the best smoke effects of any DOS-era title. Especially the muzzle-flashes in the weapons. They are of extremely high resolution (for the time).

Love this game. Absolutely massive open levels that still leave you scratching your head as to where to go next. The reloading system is dope and the alien easter-egg scared the shit out of me. That whole shoot out on top of the train and the ability to use scopes was also mind-blowing. Didn't know it had music, though. Still have the CD lying around somewhere.

12:56 I dont know why but there's something so "Civvie" about this moment that has me dying laughing

its crazy that this is the only Actual fps game i know of that does the Receiver thing of having each press of the reload key be a single bullet, so the faster you spam it the faster you load. i've always wanted to see it in a real fps where enemies pressure you

WHERE ARE YA MARSHALL??

When I left the comment that I wanted Civvie to do Outlaws, I never expected him to do it. I am glad to have been wrong :)

Fantastic 90s FPS. The Revolver is my favourite gun in the game, its just so satisfying to use the alt fire.

The writing, music and production values are just insane for a game from this era.

This game forever holds a place in my heart. I remember playing this so much that I can whistle the first level theme really well.

I literally just rebought a copy of Castlevania:SOTN last week so I'm absolutely loving the disc sitting there on the counter

The advanced interrogation scene is still one of my favourite gags you've ever done.

I was 3 or 4 when I first played Outlaws, it was one of the games I grew up playing, along with Thief The Dark Project, Tomb Raider 1 and Drakan the Order of the Flame. Two fps and two third person adventure games. When last I played it several years ago I felt that the gameplay has lost its lustre, but it was worth it for the beautiful story. There are so many iconic moments that I will forever treasure, such as the intro, James jumping on the train, the Sawmill cutscene and of course the ending. Thank you so much for covering this gem. I couldn't believe it at first, I'm glad YT recommended this video. Ps. I'm soon turning 27 and the tarantulas in this game still give me the creeps.

Can't believe it took civvie this long to cover this absolute masterpiece.

Once again, Civvie’s bringing back a Classic Lucas Arts game from my childhood. 21:04 IT’S MAX!

so glad civvie finally did outlaws. so many memories playing this game

4:50 "This is marriage." I always liked that line
