State of emergency 1 is everything I like about the early 2000's - arcade gameplay with big blocky graphics and full of colour State of emergency 2 is everything I hate about the mid - late 2000's - devoid of colour, dark and emphasis on gritty realism.

This sequel felt like a missed opportunity. Rather than go with a dark and gritty aesthetic, I feel like they should've gone a bit more over-the-top, like with Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice and Saints Row 2, taking a fun idea and improve upon what worked while adding new features to stand out.

@thunderblazestudios89557 жыл бұрын
Blondeguygamer Well, it's very simple actually, throughout the game in each chapter there are these small red spinning Corporation logos that you have to shoot and once you do, you'll hear a small guitar solo playing, letting you know that you've found the mystery objective. I have spent hours trying to look for these stupid things and the developers hid these things too well, like, in chapter 8, it took me fifteen hours to look for the stupid Corporation logo and because the chapter takes place in such a huge map, it could take some people possibly years just to find it, at least without any help of the internet, even though no ones posted any guides on how to accomplish the mystery objectives. I did unlock Battle mode by the way, and I would love to tell you what it is, but sadly I only have one PS2 controller and State of Emergency 2 doesn't accept the use of PS1 controllers, which is what all other games on the PS2 did. Until I can get a second PS2 controller, Battle mode still remains a mystery...

I already said in the video it simply did not work for me. I even just recently tried again in case I was imputing the code wrong back then and it still does not work. Unless I'm doing it in the wrong spot, which I tried in several menu and pause screens to no avail, and if you got it to work instead of just listing what every cheat code site I looked up before said it is, then tell me, otherwise it's not happening.

I remember getting State of Emergency 1 around the time it was released and me and my brother used to have a blast with it! The quest mode leaved allot to be desired, but the minute to minute action was satisfying. We got really excited one time when State of Emergency 2 showed up at our local Family video (Remember rental stores?) and we rented it, expecting something much more than what we got. I think stripping the gameplay back to being a generic shooter was already bad enough, but it lacked the aesthetics and charm of the first aswell. It took a fast paced action game and turned it into a slow paced and boring one. We fucking hated it lmao.

The same way Ratchet and Clank was remastered on ps4 , is what Rockstar should do with this game. In it , it should allow you to use melee weapons , and have that free roam ability. They should also do a wanted level with corporation stars , if you reach a big star , the entire corporation will be on you. And they need to put stage select and character select. And allow you drive both civilian and corporation vehicles. Other than that this series needs another chance. It should be on ps vita.

No, though the developers never put the aftermath of the Brimstone Bomb's detonation I think it's safe to say they're all alive. When Freak told McNeil about the Brimstone Bomb and how it's a nuclear warhead, McNeil told the others to retreat at a safe distance (judging by the explosion of the Brimstone I say at the Worker Zone). As McNeil was retrieving the bomb, they're obviously at a safe distance. Once McNeil deployed the Brimstone Bomb, he flew away as quickly as he could. If you look real closely, after the Brimstone Bomb detonates, you could see McNeil flying away, thus showing both him and everyone else are all alive, except for those Corporation goons on the island.
