Call of Duty Zombies on PSP is Amazing! - A Look at NZ:P - Port Patrol

[@cypressimplex]

Hey everyone, dev here. Reminder to check the description for my support links! And some things were fixed featured here before the video went live: - Cooperative play on FTE (PC, web) now has a dedicated menu for creating and joining matches. - Map makers can now disable the Double-Tap 2.0 damage buff - Melee-to-dive on FTE is now disabled - Entering Last Stand will no longer have your idle animation appear prone - Last Stand bleedout timing is no longer inconsistent - Revive icons in Co-Op are much more consistent in spawning - AI responsiveness has generally been improved - AI will now walk directly towards the player given certain circumstances on all platforms instead of just FTE, and it no longer has trouble navigating around corners - Crawler's limbs on PSP/3DS now properly render. Probably some more I've forgotten, thanks for the coverage Lexi!

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Thank you for making my video out of date the second it came out

[@Re-Crix]

Never realized you kept developing it! As someone who hacked their PSP at an early age, this was one of my favorite homebrews for the system! Thank you so much for making it!

[@219SilverChoc]

Hiya, as soon as I heard it was on PC/Linux I immediately installed it and played it while I was listening to the video. While there was abit of setup funkiness with updating the control scheme from the one other person who uploaded one and setting up the graphics settings, I was able to get quite a good experience while absolutelty sipping power from my Deck. My only issue is that at 60fps/VSync, there was really bad camera stutter that went away when I capped to a higher framerate like 180fps and above, and it froze my Steam Deck once or twice, probably funkiness with playing a native linux version in console mode. Thank you for putting god knows how much time into this project and thank you Lexx for shouting it out and making such a gud video about it!

[@hgmd3284]

hey how can you identify the server name for multiplayer? i cant seem to find a easy solution.

[@cypressimplex]

@@hgmd3284 Thanks for reaching out -- your Room ID is dumped into the developer console (press ` or ~, next to 1 on a QWERTY keyboard).

[@blubswillrule]

Hey all! Former lead-dev here from way back when (2009-2014…ish?) When I last stepped away from the game after the “demo” release, I would have never imagined that others would pick up where the old team left off and just keep going. It’s been amazing coming back after all these years and see the project evolve and reach places I never even imagined, places that I couldn’t have ever taken it. I feel a special satisfaction in seeing other people infected by the same magic of this game that led me to obsess over it for years. Shoutout to the current NZ:P team for absolutely killing it, and thanks Lexi for the video!

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Oh wow that’s awesome!! Thank you for dropping in, I’m glad you liked the video :)

[@ViolentlyAmmy]

Poggers

[@LILAC_CHAOS]

Shoutout to you guys for NZ:P, it got me to start working on a similar mod for Doom, NZ:DE

[@Hello-ww5bi]

You got a figurative imagination 🤣🤡

[@antjoes]

I still have the demo on my psp after all these years. I just found out it was still being developed. Thanks for the fun memories

[@avtv6438]

Aside from the impressive numbers of ports this game has, it is also the closest thing we have to an open source version of the CoD zombies game mode, it should be really talked more around. The mapping section of this video was also really great since you showcased how easy is to make maps, I might even do something for it. Thank you for this video and thank you to the NZ:P team for making this possible!

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

It’s a lot of fun to make maps for so I deffo recommend!!

[@TomTaquito-zu8kv]

Completely agree. NZP is turning into the COD equivalent of "but can it run DOOM" at this point and I think it's very underappreciated in the COD Zombies community. Also, nice Osakar pfp.

[@SaulTacMan]

Searching through KZbin rabbit holes to find hidden gems like this channel is why I like watching YT at 3am

[@caverity]

I just downloaded the game and immediately loaded up your maps. They are AWESOME! As an avid Zombies player, and as someone who used to play the DS Black Ops maps like daily on the bus to school, I must say, they play SO much better with perks, pack-a-punch, wonder weapons, and the ability to train and NOT DIE IN ONE HIT, all while maintaining that retro handheld feel. Thank you for showing us that this exists and thanks to the devs for making this in the first place. I really wanna go make my own map now :D

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Awww wow, I’m so glad you enjoyed playing them!! :) Hopefully I’ll be able to get Overlook into a released state in the next couple of weeks too!!

[@josephhall7317]

Where'd you get it? I can't find it on Vitadb or PKGj, I didn't hear where to find it at in the video, Found on BHB, do I clicked get data and download, so I don't know if I downloaded a bunch of stuff I don't need, pretty new to this stuff

[@2acidic4u]

Where did u find op's maps? I'm new and I'm trying to look for places to get custom maps Edit: my bad it was a while since I watched the vid, forgot op made the ds maps. But if y'all know where to get custom maps hmu still

[@kingtummy4646]

What do you play on?

[@kingtummy4646]

I used to play bo1 zombies the DS with my brother and I want to play the ds maps on psvita.

[@japxicano9877]

Very interesting to find a community that I have never heard about. I've been around Black ops 1 modding and world at war modding but never did i expect a NZ:P community dedicated to making this all work. And map making?! It's crazy to think that this is all possible to do on a web browser, psp, nintendo switch, and much more. Props to the dev for all the hard work into making this all possible. Really nice video Lexx.

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Thank you very much!!!

[@BigTea]

I used to be a mapper for NZP in its alpha stages on the PSP. It was honestly pretty nuts to see these talented homebrew developers take a 20+ year old engine(quake) and cram modern game features into it. There was no money involved and basically no incentive for the social media clout that we have now. It was totally a different time. I cannot believe that this project is STILL getting passed around and worked on today.

[@DerpedCrusader]

What maps did you make? And do you still have them? We're trying to preserve old maps that are lost to time and were uploaded to file hosts that no longer exist

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Ahh that’s so cool! Seems like lots of people involved in the project over the years have stumbled onto this video, it’s great hearing how everyone was involved

[@MrWashed_]

Man i used to play this soo much back in the day on my psp, thanks for the memory.

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Awww that’s great to hear :)

[@PetTheCat3730]

Really like this new direction with your channel, alternating between Port Patrol content, retrospectives, Indie Games and cool weird projects like this one. Still one of my go to channels for this stuff, awesome work

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Thanks a lot, I’m really glad to hear that - I’ve really been enjoying diversifying the types of videos I make!

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Hi everyone :) As usual, I'll be sticking around in the comments for a while if you wanna pop in and say hi! Sorry it's been a while since a new Port Patrol came out, but hopefully as you can see in the video, I haven't been sat around doing nothing :') I promise the next one will come out a lot faster

[@brooklyn7941]

That new cod zombies mobile is alright now they got this other mode that's like battle royale called undead seige

[@XxAstofoxX]

sup lol ive been having fun playing this on my 3ds

[@ryanbaldwin]

just taking a look at this now. I am very happy to see others recognize this project as such a labor of love, as I had put so much into it during my time with the project :)

[@QMMarc]

Always happy to see a new vid, especially on homebrew stuff like this!

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

It's not really something I've tried covering before, so it was definitely a challenge for me, but I hope it's interesting!! :D

[@MassPwn4ge]

Bloody Hell, I cant believe this came up on my feed. What a fever dream! I worked on this game in its initial phases, creating the alpha versions of the original maps. I remember calling Nacht der untoten as Anstieg der untoten (Which is why in the loading screen you see Nacht der untoten? as a question haha). Might need to go digging for some of my old Verruckt files. Crazy how far this game has progress, well done to everyone thats worked on it and keeping this project alive! Thanks for the video!

[@DerpedCrusader]

We'd love to have you work on it again, maybe come by and make a custom map! Trenchbroom has come a long way, and has made mapping way more enjoyable (I work on the models and animations)

[@napalmzombie848]

Thank you so much for talking about this!! Im really excited to try this out! :D

[@re_wolfing4642]

I remember all the zombies KZbinrs playing this game, might have to give this game a try

[@wiisportss]

hoolyyy u just unlocked a memory! just now I remembered this gem. played it a ton on my psp as a kid

[@Re-Crix]

Great video as always! Glad to see you're still pushing strong.

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Ty very much!!!

[@SheolAbaddonus666]

Yes. This game touches my dark soul. I have a primal connection to the zombies - being the Zombie Lord of Plagues and Virulent Oppression. In the same manner as depression slowly reduces one's defenses to nothing, turning the host against itself in a downward suicidal arc, so to will my undead Zombies - unrelenting and innumerable - come for the souls of all human life until there are none left to rent asunder.

[@andrewstencel]

I played this on psp back in 2011... it was rough, but worked fine as a homebrew. Glad to know it's still being updated after so many years! Might download on my Vita anytime soon.

[@four_tay8986]

Holy crap! When I was maybe 12 or 13, I asked for a psp-3000 for christmas EXCLUSIVELY to play NZP. I dont think ive ever heard it mentioned outside of the moddb and other forums I would visit for maps and such. As a kid, this port meant the world to me. I was just thinking about making a video detailing its history myself, but you beat me too it! Very great video, im glad this game is reaching an audience a decade after I Initially plugged a micro stick duo into my moms old pc to download the files.

[@permahzz]

I love this project, im going to install it in my psp, i hope this project continues and becomes big

[@madnessiscool]

Used to have LAN parties with the PC version of this way back in the day. Had good times hitting like round 40 - 50.

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Ahh cute!

[@madnessiscool]

@@LEXXPortPatrol Back in those days Hamachi was all the rage.

[@guso1349]

Hi bro, how did u do it?

[@madnessiscool]

@@guso1349 On the old version? Hit multiplayer, then Host and click okay with the port being 26000. It will bring you to a black screen with options. Select a map to play by going down to "episode" and switching from "tutorial" to "original maps". Select any map and hit "begin game" at the top. The game will load and drop you in. At that point, everyone types "connect [Your IP address]" in the console (Or click Multiplayer and type the IP address in at the Join screen) and it should connect. It may screw up a few times, but just try again and it'll work eventually. You can change maps easily with "map [map name.bsp]" in the console. Hope you have fun boyo! (Remember to take the quotes out of the commands for the console and make sure to type pause in the console so you won't die as people try to connect.)

[@slimshayneegaming]

Thanks so much for making House and Temple! Really great remakes! 👍👍

[@flamingcow5916]

Welp, you've convinced me to start making maps for this game! I remember playing LAN of this game yeeeaaars ago, thanks for the nostalgia trip!

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Ahhh you’re welcome! Have fun!!

[@Killysunt]

Oh wow you can use trenchbroom for it? that's sick, I gotta mess with that software more, great work

[@nutzy6347]

I used to play NZP religiously when I was younger lol. I actually discovered it using a PSP tutorial level that I found on little big planet PSP haha.

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Aww that’s awesome!

[@adrielpereira5366]

Man, this project is incredible, thank you for sharing this wonderful game. I loved this so much.

[@george2p]

I remember when this mod first appeared on moddb, was there from the beginning and it's unreal to see how far it has come. Several psp mods were being developed, including a Halo one and even a RTCW "port". Miss those times. Seeing the very first releases was amazing!

[@mrcaboosevg6089]

This is really cool, to make all this from scratch and port it to consoles all on your own is a massive effort. A labour of love, WaW just had an unmatched appeal

[@wiinis-official]

Great video. I remember checking out NZP on the PSP many many years ago when the project first started. I'm super happy to know that it's still going and that it has a variety of ports to other systems.

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Thanks a lot!!

[@wiinis-official]

@@LEXXPortPatrol You're welcome!

[@AngelDani7697]

This looks really fun!! Im gonna try it on my PSP emulator for my phone :3

[@twisted0m3n21]

This is exactly what I was looking for. And I am in love.

[@dossiebigham9113]

The zombies community really needs to throw in behind this for real maybe even get notable modders to chip in on development and making maps spreading the word

[@AveragePixel]

this is incredible

[@zayuhpadilla3526]

Thank you Truly for the work you have done and keeping the classic COD zombies alive and also older consoles such as Vita and psp. Hopefully you will continue and we’ll continue to see even more great work. Also played the custom maps and they are kick Ass Brother!

[@jman72898]

I remember when this project was first a thing then swiftly forgot about it as my HS life got more hectic. Major blast from the past and even pure surprise seeing it’s still kicking.

I use to play this faithfully in 2011 when I was 11 lmao. I made a video on how to add custom zombie maps and got like 7k views I was so hype! I use to love this game as a COD Zombies fan, I even tried creating my own map made a cube box with a Random Box in it

[@CatCrossed]

awesome video. can't believe i haven't made a video on this, though i did do the DS version years ago. I used to play this all the time on my crappy laptop years and years and years ago that could barely run world at war. Spent dozens of hours on that old warehouse map, this little game has a special place in my heart.

[@xXTomeloXx]

remember playing this long while back because I was smol n no job, but really loved playing zombies. Very happy to see the progress made on this

[@ConmiesterYT]

NZ:P has been one of my strange childhoods, I remember playing the 1.0 and 1.1 beta version so long ago, it was honestly...wild. I actually found myself addicted more than Call of Duty World at War's custom zombie maps. I wasn't really sure why I was pretty addicted to it for the time but I think there was something that makes it so unusually special that still holds up to this day. Although, I was pretty saddened when it became discontinued with no real updates as time went on, thus leaving me to move on to other things as my memories about NZ:P during the early days faded away. Until several years later, when I found out that it actually on-going as a re-boot, I was so relieved that it's back and I immediately fell in love with it again. Heck, even to the point where maybe I can finally create custom maps that I've dreamed about kinda so much when I was young back then. That juice is still there back from my head but, I remained unsure where do I go from there, be a part of the community than me being isolated most of the time, and obviously hop on for co-op that I have never experienced yet. That being said, Thank you for covering this that I'm still fascinated with nowadays.

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Making maps is a lot of fun, I highly recommend giving it a go!!

[@ConmiesterYT]

I gave it a go and after a few hours later, I can say that I am actually interested to create my first zombies map. As much I made some options what my first zombies map would be, I still have some issues that hinders me a bit such as compiling the map itself that remains to be unsolved.

[@camzy96]

OMG THIS IS PURE NOSTALGIA, I remember playing this on my Jailbroke PSP😭

[@mr_beezlebub3985]

This is the coolest fan made game I've ever played! Just played a couple maps on the web browser version. It makes me all nostalgic

man, i remember years ago staying up all night making maps on my buddies laptop.... you guys have no idea how amazing nzp was\is, it can run on almost any device

[@ScottieTheFox]

Incredible work porting the DS maps, I'm maybe the only person as interested in them as you are, I've always been fascinated by the DS Zombies mode but wished the maps were ported to a version of the game that was more playable and enjoyable

[@LEXXPortPatrol]

Thanks a lot, so happy to hear they’re appreciated 🥰

On Temple you can dolphin dive through the barriers. That may not be intended, but it’s one of my favorite things of that map.

[@Raccninja]

This is an amazing video essay analysis of one of the most fond gaming experiences. You did a very good job on giving every port justice for how good they are and where there flaws remain. I will be formulating a Call Of Duty Zombies Iceberg video and I want to shout you out as this is a very special piece of media that the community isn't very much aware of. If anything I would appreciate if you want to do a collaboration on my iceberg project as there is a lot of passion surrounding the Zombies gamemode itself. You did an amazing job and will be excited for upcoming videos, as well as possible collaboration in the near future surrounding different pieces of media. -Racc

[@Code_String]

Man, I remember removing the dust off from my PSP and ended up addicted to it for a while. I think I may still have a couple of things on there that haven't been touched since then. I was interested on getting into creating stuff for it, but IRL and the directions my life took kind of drifted me away from doing so or playing this. I was pretty dedicated and interested to see how the whole thing was built though. The looks of this game really have changed since I last gave it a shot. Cleaner, better audio, better atmosphere, etc. It has that perfect mixture of the aesthetics from the main titles, while mixing it with cleaner textures that reminds me of the early mobile titles. There's just something so pleasing about playing in a whole environment with much less polygons. Has me curious if custom player models would be possible, despite how it's mostly a cosmetic thing. Albeit I haven't considered picking one of the older or newer titles to get back into Zombies, this would probably be the perfect way to scratch that itch beside jumping on something like Deep Rock Galactic.

[@memeboyr6177]

The most interesting part of the pc port, in my opinion, is the fact that you can run it in your browser. And on top of that, since you can play with friends AND you can run it on pretty much any computer. It's a great choice if you ever wanted to play cod zombies with your friend, but one you doesn't have a good pc.

[@brooklyn7941]

That's funny homie ate a cookie instead of breaking his knuckles lol

[@cobrav8377]

BO2, with the Redacted mod for offline support, and BO3 on the Steam Deck are the best portable versions of zombies you’re gonna get. Playing Buried on my break at work really is badass.

Awesome video ^^ always been a fan of your stuff and i was not aware of this but omg its made me dust off my psp and orded myself a usb so i can play this cause this looks awesome! :3 i too was also one of the few that used to play the heck out of zombies back on the DS so your map will hit the feels so much ^_^ be nice to play zombies in bed again :3
