King Kong Was A Movie Tie-In Game Done Right!

[@killermax5]

I remember picking this game up from the bargain bin at a random mall store as a kid. Grabbing spears while chased by dual dinos was an experience. The tommy gun made you feel like a god for the 5 seconds you had ammo for it.

[@reubenyesplease5374]

Same experience. Except I found it in a charity shop for ps2

[@Perroden]

Got it for Xbox before I had internet. The cheats you unlock were a lot of fun.

[@Jason0binladen]

[@johnk.7523]

[@midgardrichard]

The ammo being called out instead of being on the HUD blew my mind back in the day, no idea why they bothered to add that to a movie based game, but it's cool nonetheless

[@mrcheesemunch]

Just that little detail goes a long way to making you feel like a survivor on the island, I wish more survival games would do that kinda stuff. I'm currently playing Ghost of Tsushima and having a limited or no HUD is always just such a cool way to experience a game, assuming it's designed well.

[@ryanw3874]

They was a good amount of care and talent behind the development of the game. Peter Jackson was involved and the director was Michel Ancel (Beyond good and evil, Rayman)

[@jakubgrzybek6181]

Because the developers cared back in the day.

[@TalkernateHistory]

[@Bocchi-the-Rock_]

This was a seriously creative game, you can tell they really wanted you to have an enjoyable experience - and so many of the things scared the crap out of me. Like fighting the first raptors, or the t-rex? Amazing, 10/10

Just a heads up the weird issue with the screen going all weird when you get hurt is due to the uncapped framerate if you cap it to 60 using nvidia control panel it will fix the issue.

[@jonathanpilcher337]

He even mentioned that being an issue at the start but didn't fix it 😭

[@xesd189]

I just figured that out today. Some animations still appear 30, but 60 is so much better

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

[@law_boii]

Man..the sounds of this game are still engrained in my mind today. Like the dino, centipede, bat noises, the near death music, gun noises, all of it lmao. Hearing them again unlocked so much nostalgia from when I was like 7 or 8 picking this up for the first time.

[@jonahbrown5669]

Played this when it came out. Think I was 4 at the time. I remember watching my dad play it, and he never played a game using a vibrating controller before, so whenever those giant centipede things hissed and jumped at him, he jumped off the couch all scared shitless lol

[@SuperTiberian]

I remember getting this game for Christmas as a kid and getting fucking terrified every time a V-Rex showed up. The fact that this game never got a proper remaster is criminal.

[@yourex-wife4259]

Jack Black's character acts like he's in a found footage movie with how obsessed he is with filming everything even when he's in danger.

[@zigfaust]

Nah. He's legit witnessing history and knows it so he's gleefully like "if I die, at least I'll still go down in history". As an artist, I really vibed with his char in the movie.

[@7mercutio17]

Picked this game up randomly as a joke when I was a kid and I have to say man did I love it. It was probably the first game to make me nervous, scared and hyped all in the same time. What a legendary game. Also spamming how much magazines on back up was the best LOL

[@ggwrw3400]

Fun Fact: This game has adaptive difficulty, meaning it scales based on how well you're doing. If you're dying a bunch then the game might throw a couple of scorpions at you in a given room but if you're on a hot streak and not dying at all then that same room could have 3 or 4 of the bigger dinosaurs.

[@GeteMachine]

We need more of that in RPG games.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Half Life 2 did that as well with loot. Depending on how well you''re on health an ammo, enemies and crates have more or less of it.

[@goblintacos88]

It's funny I saw your comment on someone's video earlier today, then I got a video recommended from KZbin by you, and so I looked at your channel, and I saw this video, and I have actually wanted to make this same video, I absolutely loved the King Kong game, the graphics were pretty decent, and the fights were really suspenseful, and the size of the game was perfect, and all the different things you had to do to survive, great adventure game! Got a sub from me!

[@SwingJake]

“2 magazines left on back up…” the voice thought narrative was ingraining, and when you’d get snapped by a raptor, it was agony in sound, visual and score. The music having the woman humming as you try to traumatically find cover; the nightmares. Amazing game, I can still hear the raptors.

In my school this game was used to cash in achievement points back in the day when xbox360 was at its most popular.

Fighting t.rex'es as king kong was amazing.

Dood. I played this on the PSP and lemme tell ya... the lack of NPCs and their constant dialogues made the game simply eerie. Hardly any music, no voice except jack mentioning the number of rounds, and the only certain sounds were those unsettling crawling and screeching sounds the mobs make... It was a real survival horror shooter. This console version is way less scary lol.

Oh sweet, I remember getting a copy of this game! I got one of the nice collector's editions that had postcards and things in it - I lost it a while ago but it was so, so good! I was astounded at how good a game this was, one of the best survival horrors I'd played back then

[@conanmaolcheann5088]

I was seven when I saw the movie in theaters with my dad and it’s still one of my favorite movies of all time. Everything about it is amazing. Skull island is such a realized world. Years later I got this game and I was so glad that it wasn’t a crappy movie tie in cashgrab. Great video man!

[@calebbilling4984]

"Two magazines on backup." It's been years since I busted out the PS2, but that line still rings clear in my ears.

[@JC-hf7zt]

Good GOD how did I miss this upload, this was one of the scariest games, and not even the giant dinosaurs and bugs, but the giant alligators in particular are some of the scariest depictions of skull island I've ever seen, especially in a game. It had some issues but I can't even remember any off of the top of my head, yet I can remember so, so many instances of some of the most intense "survival" situations, not in the sense of the genre but instances of real genuine fear for survival I've ever played in a game, and I probably didn't even make it half way through before I gave it back to who I borrowed it from and then rented it from blockbuster immediately after. Even when I played it shortly as a late teen, and it wasn't quite as scary, it was still an incredibly intense game, and while not QUITE as scary, it still had some moments of absolute terror. Sure some of it is cheap jumpscares, but the fact that they aren't entirely unrealistic monsters and somewhat believable for an island with it's own prehistoric-esque ecosystem makes them just realistic enough while still being truly scary. Sure some of the mega fauna are scary, but what has really always gotten me are the massive insects and horrifically evolved versions of smaller animals. A lot of survival games these days have the same thing going for them, and some are much scarier, but I'd love another skull island exploration game with similar settings and enemies, especially with the HUDless survival aspect. It'd make one hell of a more realistic/punishing far cry type game, obviously in the spirit of the older ones.

[@polygonpenguin]

Yoooo so cool youre playing this, when you mentioned it in one of your other videos I was hoping you would play it. This game was really fucking good

Enjoyed this game so much. I remember I used to try to see how long I could outlast during certain moments. Like the part where you have to get stabbed by the natives when your in the water or when your king Kong on the empire state building Of course any moment when you weren't with a npc was hella scary with those bat things and the bugs.
