Crime Games Of The Early 2000's [Vol. 2]

[@WVRLORD]

Big ups to you for covering Getting up in this one, I really didn’t expect that and it’s a hidden gem that went under appreciated. Sad to see nothing ever came of the sequel that was in the works for years.

[@Vynsent]

I agree! Definitely would love to see a remaster at the very least! But I did hear they will be making a movie based on the game, so who knows 😅

[@jadedheartsz]

@@Vynsent Yeah it's mystifying how that game got banned in Australia cause of the whole graffiti thing yet Jet Set Radio wasn't. hmm wonder if it had to do with racism on the part of the AU ratings board?

i was about to comment about scarface the world is yours and the sopranos road to respect

[@XRay_TeD-411]

Saints Row, The Godfather, Scarface, The Warrior's etc. were also great contenders with GTA

[@pelago_]

Yeah I was about to say scarface too - my younger brother played true crime and then moved over to scarface when he was like 12. Thinking back on it, for the amount of violence and drug references in that game I’m surprised how tf he got it in the first place lol

All those times I ignored Smuggler's Run on the shelves at Blockbuster, looks like it's actually pretty fun and I was missing out

Smuggler's Run was so awesome to play as a kid. I am also 30 !!

[@agroed]

I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but I love True Crime for leading to my favorite GTA clone ever: Sleeping Dogs.

Made Man on ps2 is probably the most unheard of yet decent mob / crime game.

@@jadedheartsz yeah The Shield is surprisingly good also!

[@czDante92]

Agree! I remember Made Man getting scolding reviews of 3s and 4s out of 10 (back when ALL 10 marks meant something) yet I enjoyed the demo on PS2 a lot. Years later I managed to get it on PC and had lot of fun, understanding where reviewers were coming from, but enjoyed it nevertheless. Same with Reservoir Dogs game, a simple yet fun little tps with an early 2000's charm. Glad to see games like these getting some recognition.

[@wxrlord]

ahhh hell yea, been waiting for part 2 if you make a part 3, i've got a few more titles you can cover like 187 ride or die, crime life gang wars along with 50 cent bulletproof. crazy how many crime games the 2000's had

​@@Vynsent could you also try out Kingpen?

🥰

[@Swordslinger-hb1ns]

Fun fact: Rockstar and Vis Entertainment’s State of Emergency was originally developed as a Sega Dreamcast exclusive. But after Sega threw in the towel in the console business development was shifted to the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox. That’s why the visuals in that game look similar to Sega’s last horah in console industry.

[@Vynsent]

That makes a ton of sense now. I always thought that it looked strange in comparison to Rockstar’s other games 😅

[@zelloguy]

This is my favorite genre. If I ever were put in charge of a gaming company I'd make so many crime games that would give GTA a run for their money and try to bring back old games too.

[@Vynsent]

[@Vynsent]

You’re thinking about Dead To Rights! Excellent classic game 😁

[@matman000000]

Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven is one of the best in this subgenre. Many people know the remake and sequels, but the original is pretty unique in its authenticity of the period setting, with old cumbersome cars and deadly gunfights. It plays more like a simulation of the mobster life than the crazy sandbox of GTA.

[@Vynsent]

Ahh, I need to give it another play! I had rented it as a kid, but was too young to really take in it’s atmosphere and gameplay lol

[@pelago_]

The godfather was as elegant as a crime game can get - very fun and great wardrobe customisation. The black hand version for the Wii let you manually reload shotguns, swing bats and break necks, which was pretty visceral for the time.

[@GreatBeardofWisdom]

Driver 3, while being somewhat broken, really was a good game. I remember loving it at the time. Any game like that was immediately in deficit due to being directly compared to the GTA games of the time. Shame, really. I was fortunate enough to meet Michael Madsen at a comic con in London about 7 years ago, and he was a super nice guy. He came out wearing a white leather jacket, aviators, and a cowboy hat. You could tell he'd had a heavy night the day before as he was pounding down Red Bull like there was no tomorrow, but man, he was the epitome of cool. I went all gooey when I heard him talk.

[@Vynsent]

Lmao what a legend that Madsen is! 😂 His voice work is incredible, almost reminds me of Max Payne in the way that he speaks! But you’re definitely right about games not having a fair chance when being compared to GTA. Driv3r was definitely overlooked!

Oh , driv3r wasnt accidentally getting hopes up, atari lied and rushed the game, then told the game journalists to lie/ a better version was being worked on so be nice to get sn "early " version of the game.

[@Vynsent]

That’s interesting! I wonder how much better it could have turned out with just a bit more time behind development. Could’ve been spectacular!

[@MrSomebodyStrange]

The problem with Driver 3 is that it was a definition of "overhyped and underdelivered". The problem wasn't in comparisons with GTA, but it was marketed as something beyond the then-current realm of video games. Then, when it was finally released, the whole glitz of hollywood-like production seemed like a huge waste of development resources with empty miles of cities, clunky on-foot mechanics, and, in case of the PC version, tons and tons of bugs. Plus, about the whole cinematic feel. Players have already played Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven and The Getaway which delivered without the unnecessary hype and Adrenaline Rush product placement. Even the cast of the likes of Michael Madsen and Michelle Rodriguez, which was supposed to be one of the biggest selling points, was nothing new by 2004, especially considering that the main competition by that point, GTA: Vice City, released two years prior had people like Ray Liotta, Gary Busey and Burt Reynolds.

[@kanabis134]

I dunno man, I've tried to get into getting up like 10 years ago or so and did not understand the cult status. Fighting system was repetitive, tagging was boring and forced rudimentary stealth segments with enemies endlessly respawning buried all the fun for me. And as for true crime- maybe you like ny city, cause while streets of la was an amusing dumpster fire parade of bad ideas, ny city is actually very entertaining and fresh (and ny city's protagonist is actually sympathetic and does not make you wanna shoot him in the face). Great vid as always! Love learning something about the games I've missed!

In the last video I haven't heard of any of the games, in this one I only heard about True Crime and that's only because DarkViperAU played it.

Driver 3 was a really bad unfinished game with too many glitches and game map feeling like it's missing something, even if they put a lot of work into the map.

Driver series could had been much bigger, if only developers were a bit smarter and took a bit more time with every game. For example Driver 2 was an amazing game, but it was locked to PS1, and not releasing it on PC was a huge mistake, because of the hardware limitations it suffered from on PS1, if they released it mainly for PC and then ported it over to PS2 and Xbox, Driver 2 could had easily been, what GTA 3 was for GTA series, but they didnt have vision for the very very near future sadly. DRIV3R could had been a masterpiece, if only it was given more time, but they rushed it, story was simply amazing, actors were phenomenal, plot was great, main antagonist was perfect, idea of multiple cities just great, CGI cutscenes were way ahead of their time, BUT gameplay was pretty bad, game was not polished and properly finished. Driver: Parallel Lines suffered almost the exact the same fate as Driv3r, though Parallel Lines was a bit more polished gameplay-wise, story was great (though not as amazing as Driv3r`s, but still great), but once again, gameplay was the culprit why the game wasnt a big success. I would kill for a game that has Driver 2. Driv3r or Parallel Lines story, but with GTA gameplay mechanics. Same goes for True Crime: Streets of LA, amazing game, but unfinished

[@Vynsent]

I definitely agree! If anything, the driver series was well ahead of it’s time. I almost feel as if GTA had borrowed a lot of their mechanics and ideas from it!

And this is why I've been saying for years that GTA needs competition nowadays so that we can have more options in the open world crime/gangster genre like we used to back in the days. Otherwise we'll be stuck in an endless boring cycle of GTA 5, GTA 5 & GTA 5......

[@Vynsent]

I gotta agree! I think most other studios just gave up on competing, but there’s still plenty of room for others to make something unique!

[@thechosenone2123]

@@Vynsent Yea & thats exactly the problem. Other studios got lazy and stopped competing, so now Rockstar basically has a monopoly on this whole crime genre. Unless some serious competition comes back, we'll be stuck with the same decade-old outdated GTA 5 being milked endlessly. Without competition & variety, the genre has become repetitive, stale, predictable, un-innovative, un-exciting, and BORING.

[@zelloguy]

@@Vynsent I think the problem is the developers and the leadership of the studios. A lot of these people aren't into crime movies or shows or old crime games. These new devs are into comic books, superheroes, anime etc. There's nothing wrong with that but that influences their interests and what games they choose to make.

[@Vynsent]

Ahhh yes. The PS2 version was so clunky I remember 😅

[@vokovevaku8199]

@@Vynsent It was firstly developed for PC, and PS2 with XBOX were an afterthought.

Was super disappointed of Driv3r. Bought it first day it got out and did not like the graphics, gameplay, gunplay. not a fan...

[@Vynsent]

It’s definitely a clunker, I’ve got a sweet spot for it tho 😅

[@SmokesTooSmokey6]

Dont know what the hype was around state of emergency looks sooo boring

[@Vynsent]

It's good for about an hour here and there, definitely not a binge worthy game haha

[@johnny5805]

Too long spent on each game, and no chapter markers to skip over games you don't want to listen to.

[@Vynsent]

Sorry you didn’t enjoy!

Like this comment if you've never finished the first Driver tutorial and said fuck it

[@Vynsent]

I’ll drink to that 😂
