Apocalypse: Bruce Willis Pro Skater - Square Eyed Jak

[@fromvault801]

Bruce Willis needs to be a THPS 1+2 dlc character

[@n1njahawk]

Darrin from Vault 801 yeah

[@RayZ_Yolo]

that would be amazing

[@fromvault801]

I wouldn't buy it. Just a thought. Also Jak says Bruce don't come cheap but possible they still own his 32 bit likeness

[@ChaseMC215]

Yeah, that would be awesome. If activision can get the licence to Bruce's likeness. Apocolypse ain't a bad game, but it ain't good ether compared to Die Hard Trilogy (man this comment aged like piss considering Bruce Willis has retired from acting due to a condition that makes it hard for him to hear.)

[@larrymantic2635]

@@ChaseMC215and also Blizzard swallowing Vicarious Visions doesn’t help at all.

[@Jehutyde]

When I first played this game as a kid I thought it was based on a movie because of Bruce Willis. I begged my parents to let me watch the movie for months but they had no idea what I was talking about. lol

[@SquareEyedJak]

It does really come across like a licensed game for sure, I always thought it was too!

[@Sarysilva]

I always thought it was a movie too. They should make a movie out of it. The story is soooo good and so different.

[@JohnnyBurnes]

My homeschool teacher saw me playing this game back in the day. I showed him a cutscene. "Look! It's Bruce Willis." Bruce leaps from an explosion screaming "SHIIIIIIIIT!" My teacher, "yep. That's Bruce Willis."

[@BugsyFoga]

A Bruce Willis video game developed by Neversoft , sounds like a recipe for success.

[@puffythedestroyer8878]

The fact it simply exists is already legend

[@ChaseMC215]

Too bad it went downhill. Die Hard Trilogy was better though

[@callumsparrow4379]

So, the final boss of this game released in 1998 sees the United States President transforming into a hellish monster? Woah, this really is gaming in the Clinton years.

[@DrEarthwormRobotnik]

We have a challenge to Neversoft, create a storyline in which Bruce Willis looses his gun.

[@DrEarthwormRobotnik]

@@Mateus_Carvalho Being the silly people that we are, we were kinda hoping to see Mannekin Pis in the background.

[@brandonpierce9868]

I bought this game specifically for the 90s Bruce Willis cheese. Finally played it recently and it's way more fun than I expected.

[@NanaKyoto]

My experience with Apocalypse only goes as far as the demo from the PlayStation Underground CD (Volume 2 Issue 4 if you were curious which issue specifically), and I have to say, it was a very fun time, especially with the twin stick control scheme. Though in hindsight, it is pretty scary how this game predicted the future.

[@anthonymorabito32]

lol i have that exact demo disc. it also had silent hill on it. so good

[@valentinoc68]

Man this video unlocked some deep childhood memories. I had no idea what the premise was besides to fuck everything up.

[@n1njahawk]

I never knew this existed OMG 😮 so without this the Tony hawk Series wouldn’t be like what it is today😦.

[@TheGrumpiestPanda]

It's nice to see someone else talk about this game in general. I only vaguely remembered this game because of Slowbeef and Diabeetis from Retsupurae riffing on this game a couple of years ago. Honestly I didn't know this was Neversoft's first outing, I also though it was Tony Hawk. Still, makes me wonder how this game would have played like if all the original ideas were kept in it.

[@thecianinator]

Ah yes my favorite Bruce Willis quote, "STRAP ONE ON IT'S TIME TO JAM"

[@bobheyotue9850]

Ahh apocalypse I remember playing this as a kid with no memory card the craziest speed run attempts in my life

[@AlexJonesGaming]

I swear your production quality is like 15x what it should be for a channel your size I love the vids keep it up m8

[@ZaphBot]

I never expected to have Apocalypse on my KZbin recommendations, I had the feeling I was the only one who had this game and (especially because of how rather short it is) I played it almost countless times, I loved that game (despite its obvious flaws)

[@danfox3586]

I swear I played this on a demo disc at the time. Strongly remember Willis saying “Kill em all, let god sort em out”

[@Mateus_Carvalho]

I remember this more for the Retsupurae riff. Mostly because they spent three fourths of the game just reading off Bruce Willis' IMDB page. Thanks for reminding me of this, btw. Time to jam!

[@bbworks159]

We won’t see the fourth horseman until 2021? God, I wouldn’t be surprised. You are also the first person I’ve heard compare the four horseman to the new decade. Congrats on that.

[@racheghoul2511]

Amazing game soundtrack and all.feels like its possibly connected to the fifth element.just this is such a underated game honestly.

[@ToejamandEarl1983]

Awesome video jak I only just played This game days before you uploaded your review it was a good fun play through

[@thegamingreaper0288]

So many potential games for you to cover next... Overall, great video and I’m stoked out of my mind to see what you have in store later down the line!!!

I remember when you did the game test episode 9n this game and its neat that you actually went in depth on a game I've never heard of and I played ps1 demo discs in 1999. Once petronious reference too

[@chrisjenkins5749]

I oddly came across your channel. Right after playing one of your created levels in the new THPS 1+2 remake. Sick level and vids man.

[@SeekerGoldstone]

What platform? What was the level called?

[@fightingdreamer8681]

Damn it's been YEARS since I've touched this! The nostalgia! 😍

[@Binglitpawn]

This is another great video Jak. Thanks for all your awesome content bro. Keeping me entertained for hours all the time ngl.

[@xJC2x]

Seeing this video made me buy this game

[@jusTice95767]

I love that intro every time I see it.

Man whenever I watch this channel it makes me smile, thanks jak your videos have helped me though some tough times and I wish you the best of days, thanks jak Thank you. :)

[@hazzabazza2282]

Yo jack ur a great underrated youtuber. Ur funny asf and u got me into the tony hawk games with the most recent one

[@Gruntvc]

You might like to play, Silent Bomber, another fun gem from the PS1 days. Apocalypse was pretty fun too.

[@JoeAndral08]

I remember back as a kid finishing this game on ps1, even tho it didnt aged well i do remember having fun with this game at that time Cheers

[@platinumpokitaru]

So interesting to see the start of THPS. And even better, this info is being delivered in an entertaining fashion. Your the bomb Jak🔥

[@BugsyFoga]

Great to see a brand new review.

[@Mace2.0]

I remember enjoying this... But it's a shame it was kind of a rushed mess. The original non-Neversoft version was a bit different apart from baldy being your sidekick, but it was far too buggy to play from what I know.

[@ChaseMC215]

The fuck did you call Bruce Willis?

[@Nostalgic_Gamer12]

Hey, I remember playing that game on a playstation underground disk, that co existed with Crash 3, Bugs life, and Bomberman (if I recalled correctly) Hell of a nostalgic flashback

[@vDomMusic]

Brilliant as usual, I am hyped for THPS remake

[@chumpyman]

Im a huge fan of this game. Still play it on ps3 and love the controls for the game also with the twin sticks

[@jaymstar]

👌🏻 nostalgia, classic game that deserves more love ❤️ lovey review as always from my favourite KZbinr 👍🏻

[@decadentgamer3108]

Holy crap a new review from you? It's been 50 years! Haha in all seriousness, this game looks very interesting, very dark gritty 90s, I LOVE it. And while System of a Down is great, I'm honestly very surprised to hear that Poe was featured in the game as well, they are like in my top 5 favorite bands and I don't really run into others who know or heard of them so it's cool they actually got featured in a game with one of their best songs. The gameplay while I'm sure may feel a little jank, still looks mostly palatable so I think I may actually try out this game in the future. In any case it was very cool to see where Tony Hawk got its start from this simple action game and even though you said it's not a good game from a gameplay design perspective, it's cool that you still found enjoyment for it and I think guilty pleasures like this are definitely worth a try. Anyway awesome review Jak, looking forward to the next one!

[@OneCentPie]

Damn this game looks awesome. I wouldn't mind if this randomly got a remake. I wanna see Bruce Willis running through the streets killing demons to 20 seconds of System of a Down in 4K HD, that's badass

[@GundamrussGaming]

That was a bummer that the System Of Down song was killed off so quickly. Great video Jak.

[@JoaoAgile]

Another saving grace from this game is that, in addition to SOAD, it introduced me to Cirrus, one of my favorite bands ever.

[@LZYDOG]

The frame rate on this boss, holyyyy shit balls. That’s how you know it’s a bloody epic encounter 😂

[@alanjohnsonbmw]

Die Hard Trilogy was also a PS1 classic! Do another Bruce Willis spin off please haha

[@ChaseMC215]

Sure Die Hard Trilogy was great, but Bruce Willis didn't provide the voice over in that gane despite being based on 3 films starring the star

[@elbercore]

My GOD!! I played this when it was released! I was 11 years old and i fucking LOVED it!! And thats how i became a little metalhead: system of a down and Snot playing at these screens in the levels. POE and Cyrrus too. The original soundtrack of the game is awesome too! I love the street levels of this game, specially the ROOFTOPS. There are another ps1 game that looks like Apocalypse, its called "ONE".

[@LegionOfWorldWarriors]

Cool. Bruce Willis' character did appear as a place holder skater before they made the real life pro models in THPS1 and was originally suppose to appear as a statue in the Mall level. Neversoft also helped on the PS1 port of the first MDK and developed Skeleton Warriors for the PS1 and Sega Saturn. They later on helped different developers to make stuff for Call of Duty like campaigns and modes.

[@LegionOfWorldWarriors]

Also looking forward to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 review. I already beat career mode and continue to play it on Xbox One. And there's another game called Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure, a Disney skateboard game built off of the THPS4 engine with characters from Toy Story, Tarzan and The Lion King.

[@LegionOfWorldWarriors]

Nevermind that I mention about Bruce Willis as a statue. You said it yourself in the video,

[@LegionOfWorldWarriors]

You should also review games like Matt Hoffman Pro BMX 1 & 2, Kelly Slater Pro Surfer, Shaun Palmer Pro Snowboarder and Wakeboarding Unleashed featuring Shaun Murray, all of those games kind of play like the THPS game except modified for how those sports work.

Dope game. I still have my childhood copy. As a kid I would get this and the game One confused. Both similar. Fun games.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

From game testing to game review, glad to see what this game really was made of. Reminds me of another PS1 title called One. It wasn't particularly good, though I made it fun thanks to GameShark. Still, good to know a company's humble beginnings before their big break.

[@crashtefano]

[@eddyviews1427]

Wish there could be a remaster or remake or a sequel to it. It has potential but a few tweaks could've made it better. Also, just imagine how devastating would it be to experience best scenes in movies and game levels but only hearing the best score/song for just 20 seconds

[@rhyskenny6429]

There is a change weapon button! You can cycle through the ones you have ammo for!

[@SquareEyedJak]

DAMN I can't believe I missed that. Honestly though, just kind of assumed it was arcade rules where you get the special gun for a little bit and then back to the default. So I was just burning through all the ammo regardless.

I've never even heard of this game. But from the footage you captured, and of course, your well put out thoughts, I can tell this is a hell of a lot of fun. It's like Michael Bay meets Hellboy: It checks out on everything. Catchy songs, overly sexualized women, big name actors, overbudgeted production, some what and semi-nonsensical plot and of course... everything must blow up. That sounds too absurd to not be fun.

I want to correct you on the thing about Spider-Man, neversoft only made the first Spider-Man game on PlayStation, Enter electro was made by vicarious visions

[@SquareEyedJak]

Ah yes, correct. I often forget about that but even still, Enter Electro is running on the same engine because Neversoft built a damn good engine. (Only reason I didn't have any Spider-man 2000 footage was because I was being lazy and didn't record any 😅)
