konami: "we need a king arthur game!" *company: "sure, whats our time frame?" konami: "30 minutes"

To be fair, they didn't shout "timber" because it's Britain. If they wanted to be authentic they would've shouted "a fokkin' tree, innit" as all British lumberjacks do.

Its just like the movie! I remember all the barbarians flying around and glitching into the floor.

The extremely buff-armed archer community is coming for Matt to give him a swirly

Watching the spinning flying bodies at the beginning really nailed a tone for this video. Absolutely glorious jank.

All I can remember about the film is that they photoshopped Keira Knightley on the posters to enhance her bust. It caused a minor outcry at the time, UK papers said it was false advertising, all very weird as she was only 17/18 when it was filmed. I don't think it was the sort of advertising they wanted for this serious film.

Now if I had to make a tie-in game to a Clive Owen movie, it’d be Shoot Em Up

I love the cult game Drakenhorse where Lancelot made a soul pact with his vengeful steed where if one dies, so too the other.

Konami: "Hmm... We should make a pachinko version of this."

Remember, King Arthur lived before physics were invented!

They fight like demons, jumping around after death🤣

Man, I only remember this movie because of the hubbub over the poster art bumping Keira Knightley up a bra size. I absolutely forgot Antoine Fuqua directed it! I know it's hasty licensed shovelware when EGM didnt even review it.

If the rules of Fire Emblem are accurate, and I have no reason to believe they are not, spears defeat swords and horses so you're at a double disadvantage.

2:39 Mads Mikkelsen, what are YOU doing here?

This game is the at home version of Ryse son of Rome.

Yeah, this took me back to all those horde games where there were just too many enemies with sluggish controls. Ah, the mid 2000s...

Somewhere there must have been an aunt whose nephew asked for Dynasty Warriors 4 and ended up giving this game instead, resulting in a very disappointing weekend.

I do remember this movie, but I never knew there was a video game. The scene from the film that always stuck with me was when Cliven Owen's Arthur has to set Keira Knightley's Guinevere's broken fingers. Her fingers are basically folded backwards and he straightens them out for her, complete with some horrific sound effects.

Yeah Konami did a lot of weird publishing Does anyone remember that one Wallace and gromit game? What about parodius?

Gotta give Krome studios credit, they knew how to make interesting battle mechanics. Mr McMuscles should check out some of the other movie games they worked on. Krome seemed to have a habit of going whole ass on those tie-in games.

I love that there's this whole cutscene of cutting down trees to cross the river. A river that both the player and the enemies can walk across, as seen here in gameplay, because it's ankle deep. They even have pickups in the water. You just walk over to them. Perfect 😂

A buddy and I used to play the heck out of this on co-op. It was okay

Memory unlocked! I saw this game on X-Play and actually really wanted to play it because they compared it to the Lord of the Ring: Two Towers tie in, saying that it wasn't as good but the archer character played as an archer first. Welp guess it's emulation time.

2:39 Before Matt even gets shocked, I was like "IS THAT MADS MIKKELSEN?!"

mate this is was literally my brother and I's goto coop game before we got Army of Two

I defy anyone to remember a single thing about this movie.

Ray Stevenson (Punisher) is gone but Ray Winstone (Beowulf) who is in this movie, is alive.

I remember playing this game back in 2004 and it had some of the most jankiest controls and even worse was the loading time where it freezes up at a certain point of the game. I mean when you literally hit your opponent they were sent flying, the fly. I still remember when I was about 80% through the game itself where I was at a certain checkpoint and during one of the cut scenes it’s only froze and I had to keep hearing the main character that played Arthur in this game, as well as in the film, going “my, my,my,my, my.”

I will never get over that "You sound like your mother!" bit from one of your other recent videos, that Clash of the Titans one, thank you for bringing that up again and making me laugh my ass off. Forever the sickest of burns! XD

Dude, these 2000's movies all have the same orange / blue filter to it. Even in the game it seems. Plus published increases the insanity.

The transition at 2:45 is actually kind of sick.

The fight on ice stays in my head

thank god, for a second I forgot Konami even exists and thought it was just a figment of my imagination.

Remember watching the movie with my dad, had no idea it was made into a game 😅

Of all the gamecube games, this one was the most memorable to me

The fact that knew to incorporate crip walking with keep it gangster. My bbq attendee lol

Wow, just wow... I've never seen this game. Of course, I've never seen the movie, either. It's sooooo "Two Towers: The Game". And I thought marketing schmucks force US to do the whole "Two Towers" thing with Revenge of the Sith... wow...

According to Morte d'Arthur, King Arthur fought and avenged all of France when a Roman emperor tried to extend Rome's influence baack into France

Wasn't this movie out around the same time as the gritty robin hood reboot that tried to claim he wrote the Magna Carta?

I remember this. I owned a copy for the GameCube. I remember it coming out around some of the Lord of the Rings hack-and-slash. I thought some of the environmental designs were okay, and little details like the animation on Arthur's cape looked good

I still own the GameCube version of this game. I sped run it with my brother years ago. One or two things to note are bows are overpowered and so is Galahad and his silly incarnation with duel wielding.

I liked this film funnily enough. His various cohorts were fun. And when he walled in the priests I was happy. Not so happy when Mads died. :(

Belated happy new year 2U, Mr. McMuscles!

Remember when WB tried to start a cinematic universe based on King Arthur? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Gotta appreciate the balls on the designers to not only have the first level be some complete jobber guy instead of ANY of the main characters, but to also be an escort mission.

Ah Krome studios - famed for making that Hellboy game too

I would love a full play through.

I like the horse mchorsles voice

One day we get a Brute Force video on this channel. 😁

one thing i hate about this movie is that Arthur fought against the Anglo-Saxons, who came to Britain like 100 years after the Romans left. And he was full Celtic (Specifically a Briton, the ancestors of the Welsh) not half Roman. Also they call the Picts "Woads" which is just weird. Among other historical issues despite the movis supposedly having a historical grounding.

I fucking LOVE this era of ragdoll physics holy SHIT

I vaguely remember this movie, mostly Keira Knightley in the trailers

Usually i have a confusion between this movie and the one directed by Ridley Scott ("Kingdom of heaven") Good lord this game is jank as hell! Krome studios had some decent games back in the day. iirc the PS2 version of "Star Wars: The Force unleashed" was their work and in my opinion is better than the PS3/X360 edition MATT! Check out the Knights of the Temple games. The Second one was made by Cauldron (the same team that made the Cabela's Dangerous hunts) and it was PS2 eurojank at his finest.

This game and movie is so amazing.... the dueing part with the the eagle dude and bors

I remember this movie! I remember how much I hated it lol Had no idea Konami made a game for it 😂

Anybody know if Keira Knightly is playable in this? In that case I might have to buy it. Matt did say it's in stores now. EDIT: If anyone else is curious, she is indeed a playable character in the game. It was difficult to find any info about the game besides shots of the game box but luckily it said Guinevieve (probably not how it's spelled) is playable on the back of the box. So, I said what the hey, and bought both the game and the Blu Ray of the director's cut for under $20. Can't go wrong with hot barbarian chick version of Keira Knightly. Anyway, Matt should seriously be paid by second hand online game sellers for doing these videos. This is the third time I've bought a used fifth generation game after he's made a video about it.

What about the Pumpkinhead game? It's probably as much fun as this was

That horse got insta killed and idk why I remember this game but it’s a game lol

Please play that Iron Man 1 game for the Ps3 and Xbox 360

I was scrolling through the feed and tis caught my attention so hard it gave me whiplash, like wtf why does this exista

I believe it’s pronounced, “Germ-anus”. …Latin’s a crazy language. ;)

It's like a badly made version of LOTR games, and its published by Konami of all people to make a game based on a forgotten King Arthur movie.

Finally you Play this lol.

I just remember having fun playing this co-op... I don't remember it being this jank lmao

Of course you wouldn’t know this as you always use the genuine hardware but could an emulator cause such insane rag dolling? Or is it more likely that they realised they were making a King Arthur game and didn’t care?

Tasmania mentioned!

Matt we need a video dedicated to Australiam😢 games

Movie was lit. None of this had anything to do with Rome or King Arthur tho 😂

Played this when was a child. Recognised it was a cheap game of a cheap movie, but had fun nevertheless, it was somewhat competent.

I had so much fun with this game as a teen!

Cliiiive!

I saw this movie in theaters.

Should have done the Konami code

I played the crap out of this game ! Jank memories

good god,is didnt remenber how messed up this movie was historicaly,funny i remenber playing this game only once too.

For a second, I thought this was going to be based on that terrible Guy Ritchie King Arthur movie. I hope there was a game for that shit. I don't know why, but it feels like there should be.

Lmao

It's so shamelessly ripping off the lotr hack and slash ea games. It's actually impressive how similar in execution they are but so woefully lacking the budget and talent behind those games. Pretty hilarious end result, the ragdoll physics are almost parody levels bad.

Never liked this King Arthur movie, so much about it irked me, can't begin to wonder why I cared so much...

First?
