Colony Wars All Videos Sequences and Endings

[@hisdudeness8328]

4:20 "It had been a baptism by fire. But now we had tasted victory, and it was a flavor we liked!" Damn that line never gets old.

[@DeepeyeLV]

Oh yes, I still come back to these videos. And recall lines from both games.

[@ErickandHat]

This was the first game I ever had for PS1 way back in the day. To this day, it's still one of my favorites from a story aspect. Took so long to beat this damn game (when you're ten, you're not thinking as sharp as you can.) The music, the narration, all of it was simply amazing, especially for it's time.

[@burnosnapson6081]

Best sci-fi console game I ever played.

[@packersredhot]

Yep why is this not a feature of games anymore? PS1 classic

[@mikebott6940]

I daresay it's better than Wing Leader.

[@ColonyWarsRedux]

You guys see the trailer for the remake: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3OreKKbpJiqotU

[@DeepeyeLV]

The structure of monologue, music and presentation... Incredible, empowering, awe inspiring.

[@Retro-Future-Land]

+deepeye1328 Yep, that's a good way of putting it, along with my reasons in an earlier comment.

[@Nicolas_Cage_Bees]

WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG, THE EARTH EMPIRE CONTROLLED THE SKIES.

[@seancampbell4904]

The volume was deafening when I first played back in the late 90's

[@anonfaceless6088]

Epic space opera. Fell in love with it the moment i first played. A reboot would only work if fans make it. Any other group would simple do a battlefront II type reboot.

[@bluecheese20401]

I'm on a trip down my gaming memory lane today

[@navnig]

God I loved this game back in the day.....A true hidden gem of the ps1 days.....

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Agreed

[@rocker1821]

I loved this game it literally felt like I was really fighting for something

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Would be nice if they remake this series and add to it.

[@locutusdiborg88]

I started with the sequel, goddamn it was so dark and amazing

[@Joey-db8bv]

When I played this as a teenager, I never believed the true ending as I call it. Was a alien ship that had abducted the Tzar. Always thought that the Tzar built another ship to restart his empire somewhere in the deepest part of space.

[@debray-kingbomatthieu5579]

You are telling like a witness. Like me.

[@debray-kingbomatthieu5579]

Nice theory. Man.

[@hughsmith7504]

I remember the fight against the super titan at the end...that was a boss battle.

[@Icelord877]

I forgot the name of this so I've been looking for years i'm glad I found it again

[@mecampbell30]

It had been a baptism by fire for the league's fleet. But now we'd tasted victory, and it was a flavor we liked!

Let the rivers run red with our blood. We shall be resolute. We shall overcome this I swear." - Oath of Allegiance to the League of Free Worlds

[@XIsnippezIX]

Nope, it's 3 good endings. 1. You win in Alpha Centauri 2. You win in Sol 3. You lose in Sol (still counts as victory, but very cruel victory from which Colony Wars vengeance continues from)

[@donnyparker4871]

Until this moment, i thought that voice was James Earl Jones.

[@TheSpacegamer]

I remember playing this on my brother's PlayStation when I was a little kid. There's just something about these cut scenes and just the "feeling" of the game that you don't get anymore in modern games, same with other games I played on the PS1. Maybe it's just nostalgia.

[@Retro-Future-Land]

+Vladiman Games, especially CW1 had a fine and high balance of Pathos, Ethos and Logos. This is why to this day people return to Colony Wars Endings and Sequences.

[@loc27gth44]

no colony wars was truly a great sci fi game i even dare to say a master piece

[@worldcomicsreview354]

These days morons on forums would complain that the prerendered cutscenes don't match the game. Ah well, when we were 12, our minds filled in the gaps!

[@FoxMonkey-xw5yf]

Loved this game! Better world building, music and narration than most modern games.

[@Blahblahblah28504]

I hope I wasn't the only one who shat themselves as a child when we saw that planet blow up in the intro.

[@alienlife7754]

This game blew me away. The inspiration for Star Trek Invasion.

[@farscape1]

GOD this game! loved it so much as a child.

[@sammeadows5672]

2018. The games nostalgia is unstoppable.

[@eshaw2115]

I would love to see a remake of this.

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Same

[@matthewwilder5164]

Someone is trying to make this happen. A team is currently working on a project for Colony Wars Redux. I'm not sure how far along they are. They have a KZbin channel.

[@michaelbeale2498]

I always took the Sol Victory ending as the Tsar dying on the Super Titan.

[@fugitivehunter]

Makes sense. He takes command from within his personal flagship, only to get blown to kingdom come by the League.

[@SantomPh]

@Macthecamp in that ending the Empire doesn't split; they decide to negotiate with the Father after the Faction is eliminated. The end result is that the League becomes independent, but contributes to Earth as it is agreed to be the root of all humanity. It leaves both the Empire and the League apart but on good terms.

[@oxyman10]

One of the best flight combat games ever, I still have all three Colony Wars titles. I hope for a next gen redux, however the closest is Strike Suit Zero Directors Cut.

[@UKFreedomFighters]

This game inspired me to love sci-fi and space! I used to play colony wars and CW Vengeance so much as a kid! Man I dont think a space game has been quite this awesome ever since!

[@kirgeez-gaming]

What got me into space games like this was the Wing Commander Series on the 3DO. I was hoping playing Colony Wars that another Wing Commander would not be far behind it but it never came. That series would have gone great with the CW engine.

[@LordofSyn]

***** I agree. The Wing Commander series was epic too...but I so loved the Colony Wars series and only wish that they would be remade/rebooted for 7th or 8th gen consoles.

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

try X, perhaps elite

[@ExiledPiasa]

man i wish they would make this into a movie / tv series

[@mokuba76]

I think this would make a great tv series.

[@valnavat2nd]

Nice compilation. The game still moves me even from just viewing these cinematic sequences.

[@jaguargrenadier1111]

Thank you for uploading this kirgeez. This really brings me back to my childhood.

[@kirgeez-gaming]

You're Welcome.

[@miikaniemitalo5551]

i played this game....but seeing this now gives me Babylon 5 vibes

[@Hambie76]

What a great game and only the 2nd one that I played in the 90's which had a somewhat realist space combat engine. Somewhat. Before that I was nerding out on Wing Commander. This is a gameverse that needs a revival. It deserves more time in the sun.

[@LodovicoAriosto1]

I played this on PS1 when I was 13-14. My English was bad at the time, I finished the game a few times but understood only intro because I heard it so many times :-)

[@Johnnymagnet92]

Jesus I remember this game, such good memories...

[@williammason475]

the czar and his battle fleet saw everything, knew everything, punish everything!!

[@timestreamers3668]

favorite line eferythinG

[@cashcleaner]

And it finishes…. At last! It was time for our species to move on. I suppose there those in the League who felt pride, but I couldn’t dig out such an emotion. I was exhausted. I could hardly comprehend that the war was over. And now I felt simply drained. The unconditional surrender came from the heart of the Empire. We assumed this meant the Czar was still alive. But once the drop to Earth had been made and the League had scoured the Imperial Palace, it brought back only one message: The Czar was gone. He had vanished.

[@thoughtheglass]

did anyone else find it weird that the eclipse was a fighter you so rarely got to pilot

[@dhm1983]

Got a download of this working. Such an awesome game

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

This guy should be used in Star Wars voiceovers.

[@cabal2k]

Epic, it still gives me the shivers today. But one of a few existing games, where the german voice over is better than the original.

[@f1tony2003]

The dev company that made this game unfortunately folded

[@jesuszamora6949]

Not really. Psygnosis was absorbed into Sony proper, who had bought them after WipEout 1 released.

[@RHINOWINOLUNATIC]

Never did get to find what the huge disc shaped craft was at the end. While Vengeance was a good game a follow up to the first game would have been better.

[@justindesnoyers4105]

God I loved this game when i was young

[@voidofambition]

childhood!

[@michaelmartin9022]

There's an untold story about the freedom-loving, democratic league committing (in the canon) a horrendous war crime. The first two games ought to be re-made as one long one, where you play an actual character in the League who ends up disillusioned after the sealing of the warp gate. The hero worship of The Father, in these League-slanted narrations sounds rather North Korean, too.

[@TheDarkIllumination]

In the original Colony Wars website, in the info section, it stated the Father was actually a Sha'Har agent. Using humans to defeat themselves, apparently.

[@SantomPh]

The Sol system was just too powerful to beat so the League escaped before they were crushed. Not the Father's fault

[@dougmaxwell5347]

I still can't believe it's james earl jones in this game cutscene voice

[@mrnobody2683]

It's not I IMDBed it Disappointing I know

[@Arthezius]

I forgot about this awesome game!!!

[@marckart66]

This game looked so much better back in the day.

[@livingjokessuck]

Such a great game. Colony Wars has it all.

[@trininatsu9352]

love this game i dont know why they didt do a remake.

[@SantomPh]

The parent company Psygnosis is no more

[@Nicolas_Cage_Bees]

@@SantomPh I think Sony still owns the IP but it's unlikely it will ever see the light of day again. I actually found a guy who worked for Psygnosis on this game and Vengeance on the X4: Rebirth subreddit a few years ago which was cool. He apparently was the voice director for Vengeance. Apparently they almost had a heap of legal trouble because of the narrator, Burt Caesar, sounding so much like James Earl Jones.

[@williammason475]

league forces were split and struggling, we had too many rookies and a star system too big to lose

[@worldcomicsreview354]

This game is the sequel to The Expanse. Change my mind.

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Is The Expanse a game?

[@denniselliott27]

Somebody should make a full-length cutscene video for Vengeance and Red Sun too.

[@Dormul]

denniselliott27 Someone made one for Colony Wars Vengeance.

[@69BTony]

I loved this game maybe because of the narrator. I wish they would remake it.

[@gustavoacosta1434]

RIP James Earl Jones😢

[@UCSPanther20]

This should be remade in the Freespace 2 engine.

[@hisdudeness8328]

I wish they would remake it on a Homeworld platform. How cool would that be? Instead of a First Person flight simulator, imagine commanding an entire fleet across multiple star systems. It would be so epic.

[@rhey81]

Burt Caesar was the narrator..

[@mbrennan27]

i use to love this game

[@esathegreat]

There is the name Chris Roberts on the dead people stele

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

[@sammeadows2682]

Am i too late to say this game was so good

[@sammeadows2682]

and the comments are great

[@walter0bz]

that voice, rambling about 'father', hmmm...

[@andyberry2025]

Videos in Colony Wars 1 bore epic titles like 'The Terrified Planets'. These were narrated by Burt Ceasar, a man who sounded exactly, scarily like James Earl Jones - so much so that rumour has it Mr. Jones' lawyer got in touch about it.

[@PongPogPonderan]

Think we could get a version that's just Burt's Voice?

[@kirgeez-gaming]

No at least not now would be nice. I still have the PS1 Discs.

[@1985seanward]

great game

[@MrSstiel]

8:46 in, what is the symbol on the Colonial Navy craft?

[@worldcomicsreview354]

It's the Empire's symbol. One of the bad things about the game, some of the world-building is so epic, but the logos of the two sides and the writing on the craft seems like an afterthought. And in a style copied from the Wipeout games, a type of cyberpunk, club-culture inspired look that seems totally inappropriate. I hope if there's ever a remake that gets changed. Big, bold and clear writing and names on the ships, and an appropriately ornate imperial emblem.

[@-JA-]

[@VEGITAS4]

is that Vader phoning in the narration?

[@mrnobody2683]

Nope A middle aged Caucasian sir from UK

+TheSkywayBridge A children s toy followed by a dead person floating in space...

[@SantomPh]

A teddy bear followed by a floating corpse. The Alpha Centauri Civil War was incredibly vicious and both sides committed atrocities even the Navy would be horrified by . The scene implies that children are also victimized.

[@LunarDutchBoy]

can you get that PS3 down loads

More confusing lore than dark souls lol

How come PS1 CGI is so great, while current is meh.

[@Donsposts]

Aren't there like two openings? Since it is two way story. When i was little it had two discs in one.

[@SantomPh]

this is the only opening , and the story is only from the League's perspective. In the second game some flashbacks are shown from the end of the war but the first game only had one perspective.

[@Donsposts]

oh okay.
