Ah, man! I haven't seen this game in forever! After I left Activision, I was actually hired by Dreamworks to be a Designer on the sequel to Undying but then EA bought out the office, team, etc., cancelled Undying 2, and moved us all over to work on Medal of Honor: Frontline instead. MoH was fun, but I *really* wanted to work on a Clive Barker horror game...

I was a Sophomore in High School when this game came out and I absolutely loved it; so much so that I played it over and over again, neglecting to read a book for my Language Arts class which I needed to do for a book report. Long story short, I figured with an author's name on this game, my teacher wouldn't know the difference. So I cropped out the EA or whatever publisher was on the box art and wrote a book report on this game. Got an A.

Ah, Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Undying by Clive Barker is my favorite Clive Barker game by Clive Barker that I can think of! It's so a fantastic game. Trivia: The guy Patrick Galloway kills in the intro, that was suppose to be the Main character for the game initially but when they brought in Clive Barker and told him about it, he supposed to have said " _Who looks like this? Who wants to look like this? Does anyone know of a man named Magnus? No, draw me a man I want to sleep with!_ ", and that's how we got Patrick Galloway instead, a sexier man for a much better story. .... By Clive Barker!

No joke, this is probably the Civvie video that most makes me want to play the respective game. And considering he’s talked about tons of classic FPS games, an entire genre I should play but just haven’t unless you count Half Life 1, that’s saying something.

[@MrMagichobo21]

This game seems ahead of its time. The gun/magic with each hand reminds me of Bioshock, which didn't come out until 2007. Weapon wheels generally are a modern feature as well, although I can't think specifically of when they became popular. And the variety of spells remind me of the psi power in EYE divine cybermancy (which civvy really should do a video on)

[@elijahjarman2837]

I agree, but it'd break him too quickly

[@TNTLLYftw]

oblivion had a 'weapon wheel' per se, and bioshock didn't even have the dual wielding until bioshock 2 so even later!

Moreover, the "Invoke" spell makes living enemies kill themselves. The Possession Vigor in Bioshock Infinite does exactly the same.

[@scottcaves1258]

I feel like Ratchet and Clank on the PS2 was the first time I saw a weapon wheel in a video game, but that was from 2002, and this game came out earlier, so even then it was ahead of it's time

The Haste spell temporarily increases your speed and mana regeneration rate.

• _Undying_ was a great, very memorable game, one of my all-time favorites.

Regardless, it's still a great game, with great atmosphere, and felt very full and satisfying (not too long, not too short). _Jericho_ wasn't bad, it was just buried. • The spells remind me of the ter'angreal from _Wheel of Time_ (which was pretty good, but too long); also some of its maps. • 12:36 - This part reminds me of _American McGee's Alice_ . The cistern reminds me of _Tomb Raider_ , other parts remind me of some of the _Painkiller_ games, and some _Return to Castle Wolfenstein_ , and even _CoC: Dark Corners of the Earth_ . • 15:00 - This part reminds me of _Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem_ . • 18:47 - Would you still hit it? 🤔 • 20:37 - And some _Watchmaker_ and/or _Scratches_ . • 28:18 - And now _Barrow Hill_ . • 29:00 - Kraven. • 31:47 - Shame. :-\ _Undying_ is reminiscent of many games (some before it, some after), as well as some Lovecraft stuff, particularly _Dunwich Horror_ .

@pkleaf, Both Singularity and Bulletstorm did guided bullets too. And both were a lot better than Jericho. That teammate AI...

[@zigfaust]

@@Gruntvc I know they did, but Jericho was the first game I played that had them. And yeah, the AI was so trash it was obvious they wanted co op multiplayer but scrapped the idea for some odd reason.

I genuinely felt a twinge in my chest seeing all the logos. RIP games companies, gone but never forgotten.

[@patson187]

An awesome game. When I was younger it literally scared the shit out of me, so that I finished it almost 15 years later after rediscovering it. a true classic in horror Gaming.

[@CasulPants]

Legit one of my favorite games ever. Nice to see this old gem getting some love. Now how about a remaster and a sequel?

[@isenokami7810]

Remaster maybe; I think Unicronic Arts killed all hope of a sequel though.

"That scythe" is one of my favorites from any game, ever... XD You also neglected to mention the fact that it'll drink enemies' blood puddles if you get it close enough... like some sort of twisted drinking bird thing. ...and the lightning bolt spell works with the crossbow or whatever it was to make some sort of rocket launcher type thing that was supposed to be good for killing something or other.

[@S1kTh66]

This is one of my favorite FPS games of all time. Everything was perfect in this.

[@PsychoWerekitsune]

Thank you so much for talking about this, it's a criminally underrated title that no one remembers. I have a lot of younger friends who didn't really get into the PC gaming scene until I met them in university and I keep telling them about how great this game was. Damn shame we're never getting a sequel.

[@furryfoxontinder5754]

Pretty scared there when the necronomicon was tossed on camera, thought alternate universe Civvie might've summoned some weird apocalyptic creatures and doomed his world. Thank god that we got a Undying popsicle stick show instead.

[@GoodRogue]

I have, honestly, been afraid that this channel is going to end after reaching 100k subs and doing the DNF material. Good to know Civvie isn't done with being the pinnacle of online entertainment.

[@Yusuke_Denton]

They extended his sentence.

[@isenokami7810]

And unlike a certain other pinnacle, he’s earned that title.

Don't know why, but it just pleases me to no end that he's a leftie with a left handed revolver.

Im suprised that you did not edit in a sound bite saying "marana!", when the cultist threw the dynamite. Missed opportunity, I say. I mean, what selfrespecting cultist would not shout that every couple of seconds, just before throwing a stick of dynamite at you.

I love the fact that your channel is regularly watched by people who worked on these games. It speaks volumes about the quality of your content. You sir are as of now my favorite youtuber, and not just for all of those brilliant pop-culture references.

omg that assimilation is so true :(

EA is not The Thing. They are literally the Devil. Though to be fair, Blizzard, Activision, WB Games, Ubisoft, etc are giving their best to be terrible too.

[@splitjawjanitor5369]

@Rou Dabral He hid some details to lead Patrick along, sure, but being able to describe what he found and what happened is by definition a form of explanation. Of course, this is a very literal-minded way of looking at it, my comment was meant mostly as a joke.

[@splitjawjanitor5369]

@Rou Dabral Ah, I see. Couldn't tell!

[@feodorborisevich]

Just watched Grim Beard's review of this game from three years ago and now you cover Undying too. What a great time to be alive

Civvie you actually made me cry with the EA assimilation skit when I saw Westwood studios. I didn't believe you could actually make me cry.Just imagining something similar happening to the Westwood studios made me scared and sad.

Trailblazer is definitely one of my favorite mods for Doom. It's just so cool

[@rheawelsh4142]

Trailblazer? You mean alternate timeline brutal doom?

8:30 I just realized; Patrick is LEFT HANDED! That's gotta be a first in FPS history!

[@mileator]

Maybe, but I remember that the terrorists in counter strike are left handed.

[@reloadpsi]

Doomguy is left-handed ;) Holds his pistol in his left hand and leads with his left when unarmed. He only holds the shotgun right-handed because many left-handed soldiers still train to use rifles and shotguns that way.

[@jic1]

Is he? Or does magic require more dexterity, which is why he uses his right hand?

[@benjaminlewis4900]

I thought, "Samus Aran," but that was obviously after this. Just figured I'd mention her.

[@HerculeDevantrien]

That's a cool detail, but it was clearly made for gameplay reasons: if your character can dual-wield, it's better to have the left mouse button fire the weapon in your left hand (those who have played The Darkness II know what I'm talking about), and since in Undying guns are treated as a primary fire and spells as an alternate option, it made sense to have the main character be left-handed.

[@NobleAbsinthe]

Civvie you have given me hours of entertainment, just wanted to say thank you. Not sure if you read these, but again, thanks. I found your channel randomly and listening to you ramble is S-tier level stuff on this god forsaken website
