Never thought this game had a making of movie, this is awesome, pure gold

[@adamsansom4822]

Wow, this is insane. Never knew how much much effort and research went into this!

[@dqena]

this game was my childhood man.. playing on my box tv, doing glitches on the ship map in multiplayer. role playing making my own stories.

[@igodreamer7096]

I never was a big fan of the Pearl Harbor movie, but Rising Sun was one of my favorites back in the day

[@kaletovhangar]

Watch Tora!Tora!Tora! Then,that is a great movie about Pearl Harbor.

[@MrAdam11223344]

very awesome for you guys to put this up. Watching this today on the 80th anniversary.

[@MikeJones-qn1gz]

"18 days of grooling hell" DUDE! you got a free trip to Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Singapore, and Myanmar (Burma)!

[@gottroubletactical]

Me and friends have spent many hours in the multi-player bot battles. Games back in those days were so much more fun

[@JohnCena-ew1mf]

Main problem with this game is that it was rushed so there's alot of annoying glitchy behavior. Enemies will frequently glitch through solid objects and be able to shoot the player through cover and the hit detection is off. Still I can tell alot of effort and passion went in to the game its a shame it was torn apart by reviewers.

[@adamlach6572]

My guess real reason for it's reception is that at first combat feels bullet spongy (and to certain degree it is) - but if you spent a bit of time playing multi with bots/friends, you quicly learn how guns here operate, and that it is in fact decent and very "unique" system, that fits well with the game's design. The game needed more developement, more missions, more setpieces (too much simmilar jungle warfare), maybe few tweaks to combat (better sniper rifle and pistols) - but it's still very "medal of honor", in a sense that it feels like a spy movie, or adventure a la Indiana Jones as much as a ww2 shooter. Aaaand it's much better on ps2 because xbox controller really had awful analog sticks

CHILDHOOD!! how did you get this interview archive?

@@NeoGamer holy crap. massive props to you for being able to archive these stuffs. looking forward to more of these rare glimpse of the past :D :D

[@shawnparent6938]

This is my favorite game ever I still play it ❤❤

[@PoorDog69]

I feel about the development for Medal of Honor: Rising Sun was not only code engineers leaving to make Call of Duty, but EA forced the development team, to rush through the progress while the game engine Jack Stringer, was becoming outdated.

[@BrackersProductions1]

Do game studios do as much research and studying of locations and sites/history nowadays? In most of these archive videos it always seems to be the case game studios did this back in the day.

[@bryansteele832]

They did because they were making games back then about things and subjects that had never been done before.

[@Vub.]

They use computers to do it all now. Don't need to travel. Kinds takes all the magic from it, from finding some really amazing stuff.

[@BrackersProductions1]

@@Vub. Yeah it's kinda sad really. Have you ever played oblivion? I think part of the magic was them going out and looking at beautiful locations which has made the environments still hold up today, especially the forests and dungeons.

[@Vub.]

@BrackersProductions1 have I ever played it. I have 378 nirnroots neatly stored away at my home in cheydinhal. Lol yeah its actually my favorite game of all time.

[@jjnet123]

Hideo kojima went to iceland to get an idea of the landscape he wanted for death stranding. So some developers do it still but its not common sadly.

[@Halston.]

12:40 enemy spinning in circle and then "One of our big things is for both veterans and historical buffs to go, 'hey, that's exactly spot on!'"

[@bumpermanthesecond615]

Frankly honest, this is how a game should be developed put their hearts into it and have fun like you're playing it yourself

[@Theakker3B]

Only 7 levels was a real let-down

[@aleddavies770]

I know 😔

[@seegurke93]

8:15 haha not 50mm its 12.5mm but .50cal ;) I loove it. I looved the game. best memorys, in fact my PS2 still works. I just played the 3rd level in the Philippines where you flee on the truck at the end. Masterpiece! I would pay premium for a rerelease with new graphics.

[@adamlach6572]

I love this game (even if it has many flaws), and the mission you mentioned has to be one of my favourite missions in any fps game. This game could be much better with better though out combat, more weapons, more missions etc. but it has such incredible atmosphere, and every time it feels like a adventure and not just a bunch of missions. Also i love multi with bots! Medal of Honor Underground for psx has to be my favourite ww2 fps, but Rising Sun is also really high on it. Overall i much prefer varied, experimental MoH games to very simmilar (though at least decent) CoD games.

[@lukeleary1333]

Welrod nuff said.

[@aleddavies770]

Nuff 😂

[@claudespeed32397]

Medal of Honor Rising Sun is an Amazing Classic Medal of Honor Game!!

[@skike455]

[@Mikedadof2]

Great game and looking forward to get a copy again

[@IamLupo]

I made this game back online again for PS2 :D I manage to recreate the matchmaking servers. With only a DNS configuration in your game you can join/host again.

This project will be migrated in the future to a new server. What do you gamer need to do? For NTSC version: 1: Configure Cristians DNS(45.7.228.197) in your network. 2: Have fun! For PAL version: 1: Patch your iso game with the DNAS patch.[2] 2: Configure Cristians DNS(45.7.228.197) in your network. 3: Have fun! I hope you guys have fun!

[@skike455]

nice we can still play online that's amazing

[@littlewhat9330]

is there a PC port for this game? that can be played on a modern system?

[@wenaldy]

Went to Singapore only for gutter system lmao. (I know im pretty sure they went to Beach Road and Kampong Glam for Sultan Mosque and Raffles reference.)

[@Veldoril]

Good old days...:-)

[@geog26]

nostalgiaaaaaa

[@rileyrosswalker]

Damn this takes me back - used to play the bot multiplayer mode a lot. The campaign wasn't as good as Frontline, but still fun.

[@danlopez3774]

amazing how society changed all of these gamas, now you play WWII games with fancy skins and futuristic skins, now it's an offense to play this games. These old good times came into a end.

[@thelonewolf8333]

Also Steven Spielberg did some writing for the game

[@user-rw9gi5dq1b]

I really want a remastered version of this game for the newest gen consoles
