Just a bit depressing that these are the most exciting games. Imagine, the gaming industry can't come up with games that are more interesting than the games they used to make 1-2 decades ago. As someone who only plays single player, story oriented PC titles, I feel like an entire industry died out around me in the last few years. There are maybe one or two games a year that can truly scratch my itch. Imagine trying to justify the purchase of a $1000 dollar PC just for Metro Exodus... ...still the best game I ever played.

Evan Harrison it’s the same with films. Total recall, Creed (essentially rocky reboot), X-men the list goes on. It’s like the creativity has gone. Saying that, some of the best games I’ve ever played are older ie UT99, Warcraft 3, Doom, Halo 2, DAH, RE3

[@evanharrison4054]

@@Rrldc1 Well, we do live in a sort of ideological climate where you basically have to scrutinize your work of art down to the molecules if you want to avoid getting torn to shreds by accidentaly displaying some "-ism" that is not accepted by the mainstream. That alone stifles innovation and creativity almost utterly. Games were better than movies for a long time, because games were a fringe entertainment and there was no media outlet to constantly manipulate the field by promoting the same crap and ignoring everything else into oblivion. If idSoftware had to come to life in today's environment, it'd be torn apart and its creators' careers would be utterly destroyed. Heck, even Max Payne III was "too outdated by modern standards", and thus the series was basically shuffled out of existence. Even Wolfenstein, the game that literally was a "nazi killing power fantasy" had to be retconned totally by demonizing the Polish people.

[@Rrldc1]

Evan Harrison Agree. Politics has too much an influence on gaming. No one plays with dangerous ideas as they are scared of the backlash. Surprised it’s okay to slaughter demons in Doom Eternal without backlash on it not being inclusive to devil worshippers.

[@Dirtyblue929]

Fun fact: you remember "Where the Hell is Matt?", the videos by Matt Harding of him dancing all over the world, that went super viral? He used to work at Pandemic Studios, the original devs, and _he pitched this game, as a joke._ Apparently it all went down after Microsoft shot down a more family-friendly pitch he'd worked really hard on, and he sarcastically suggested they should make a game where you play as an alien invader who wants to kill humanity, joking that they could call it "Destroy All Humans!" His co-workers thought it sounded hilarious, and eventually they began _actually planning it._ And no, despite common rumors, he _did not_ leave the company in disgust due to this, he just didn't feel like working on it and wanted to pursue an independent career; though the devs do credit him as the one who suggested the game should take a comedic, satirical tone parodying schlocky sci-fi horror.

[@H1GHLANDER360]

Rebel Without a Cause. The Room's line in that film paid homage to it. Though it seems a lot of people are more affiliated with The Room then Rebel Without a Cause.

[@Estorium]

As the commenter above said, it is a reference to Rebel, which The Room tried to pay homage too. Tommy Wiseau was a huge fan of classic cinema and tried to emulate what he saw in the films that he loved. Unlike Tarantino however, his efforts are... questionable. All that said, 'The Room' is much more of a widely known and celebrated modern cultural phenomenon than 'Rebel', so I feel that it was a missed opportunity to reference 'The Room' rather than 'Rebel' (again) in the remake. But maybe that is just me.

THICC woman got me interested. I played DAH2 so I hope they remake that soon because I dont like the 1950s setting in DAH1 but love the 1970s settings in DAH2 where I would spend time as a Japanese school girl playing out the ending of Akira before the giant baby part

[@bisexualichigo4227]

If only we could get a Simpsons Hit & Run remake. I remember playing this game on XBOX, so of course I’m nostalgic for it.

[@DrOD-zx1yb]

0:07 "It's probin' time" Wow... That aged well.

[@Liboo52]

I’m pretty sure it’s making fun of McCarthyism, not communism, unless Gmanlives was being ironic? Idk

[@dongomajor]

Idk how to tell you this dude but they're not making fun of commies, they're mocking the American political paranoia and xenophobia of the 1950s. Same as Fallout. If you want making fun of commies, play 2

[@Stuntedslinky]

@ its cartoony because its satire of McCarthyism. the joke is that everyone is obsessed with commies while the real enemies are aliens from outer space lmao. it is a very obvious satire of the red scare, not a jab at communism.

[@IAmFwee]

king, not sure how to put this to you, but destroy all humans doesn't make fun of communism. it makes fun of mccarthyism and the associated red scare. the second game is the one that actually makes fun of communism

[@ChaplainDMK]

Especially considering how green/grey alien invasion films and literature from the 50s, like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, is often considered as based in communist paranoia

[@37Kilo2]

Loved the shit out of this game back in the day, on Xbox. The team who remade this did an amazing job. 6th generation was an awesome time to be a gamer. It was back when developers took wild or silly ideas and ran with it. There were so many gems like this game. Nowadays, everything has to be a triple-A, $200m game, or your typical 8-bit-looking indie title that looks like the last 70 indie games that came out in the last month.

[@TheArklyte]

Now if only someone would combine it with Bureau take on X-Com and somehow make such a hybrid a good game despite inclusion of the latter... Would be fun to be able to play both sides versus.

[@wwld9823]

This game and stubbs the zombie pretty much made the original xbox a must have for me, I hope one day we can see a remake of that glorious game as well.

[@IsoYear]

i like how everyone sees it as a comment on communism when its also an ironic take on america and capitalism in general lol

[@mrrazfromnz]

You're pretty on-point. It's just like the people who play Fallout 3 and don't realize that Liberty Prime is a satire of anti-commie paranoia.

[@2SSSR2]

You know what we need? "Stubbs the Zombie" remake. That game was also great.

[@PhazonSouffle]

Ayyy Lmao: One giant alien meme

[@entitledindustries9135]

while planning on reviewing this game on youtube, i've just realised why certain critics get an early copy. it's the critics that will give it a good review, so the first reviews anybody sees are positive.

[@tabbycrumch3062]

how do you play this an take away that the communist jokes are about communism, and not about american fear of communism during the red scare

[@omertarkcakmak9753]

I think it gives you a perfect understanding of the reviewers capacity to understand his material.

[@FlameJackstar]

Really happy to hear that the devs were able to put their foot down with this one. Black Forest Games is just a small German studio, which has a lot of rough years behind them. (...They made the recent Bubsy game.) I hope DAH does well and they get a good financial boost.

[@dant5349]

The game is making fun of the cold war "reds under the bed" mentality not "making fun of commies".

[@astraeasbliss2425]

[@pistool1]

To be honest, the 'humor' in the game is rather lame, tired and dry as well as the characters. Not genuinely funny or authentic - like my ex-girlfriend's tw*t. I prefer that video games not to be lame comedies :)

And? Who cares, f*** commies.

You are missing the point. The game makes fun of red scare, not communism.

I was legitimately surprised to see this go right over Gmans head. This game makes fun of Americans in the 50s, not communism.

No it makes fun of communism because commies are better dead.

I hope y'all understand the difference between making fun of communism and making fun of the propogandic fear of communism in the 50s. The game isn't making fun of communism, it's making fun of the Red Scare.

[@suonicslice]

I just have 1 nitpick, was it really too much to ask to have the Mothership interior be animated again? Also I dont think Pox said any of his lines from the console days.

[@Just4Fun-Zocker]

Not enough blood. 😈 So, you are basically saying I'm not the target demographic, being 13 years old when the original DOOM was released.

[@cloudtx]

In my view, if you either liked the original or think the concept sounds like a fun idea then you are the demographic they're looking for.

[@TheMarkedWolf]

Nice to see older gamers! I'm only 6 when it was released.

[@CarrotConsumer]

I was a 34 year old divorcee when it released.

[@Xegethra]

I was 17. Played it a fair bit.

[@burritosforlater]

i really like how everyone looks much more cartoonish. it really suits the game! I remember spending hours completely leveling cities and just wrecking havoc. such good memories.

[@HarleyGPFYL]

Finally - a reviewer that skipped the soy latte and actually thought it was funny. Every other reviewer Ive read or watched so far has been offended by something technically made 15 years ago

[@GeneralTantzu]

Anyone still thinking game journalist like games are very naive.

[@strugglesnuggledslime7040]

Sad state of affairs that 15 years ago humanity more readily accepted cartoony satire than the soy-latte drinkers of today. Makes me fear for how the kids of said demographic turn out(of the handful that actually manage to procreate).

Back in 2016 the two games I played on my ps3 was a copy of the ps2 version of destroy all humans and Minecraft that was it and it coming back just gives me so much Nostalgia.

[@VitorHugoOliveiraSousa]

Hopefully this sells well and we can get a remake of the second one. I want to fight godzilla with a flying saucer again on Ureal 5 with caos physics on PS5.

[@smokestack3327]

i’m glad it’s a remake and not a remaster as it does add more quality such as graphic and audio since it’s easier to work with it if you remake it instead of updating the graphics. Alot of the gameplay changes are widely acceptable in their form. Weapons usage variety is forced in this which is fine since it’s done pretty naturally i.e. your alien weapons don’t get ammo from human weapons like most modern shooters forcing you to swap to other weapons until you can transmogrify something into ammo for you. The ship was also improved since in the original game the angle the death ray would work at was a bitch to get right since hit boxes were smaller in 05. improvements to audio quality is just so we can hear Zim i mean Pox better seeing as he was hard to hear at times in the original.
