The most fun part about Neuro is the story of it's development. The developer started making an abitious 3D FPS game because that's what you do when you have no budget and no prior exprience and, surprisingly, that ended up in a development hell. But at the same time one of the engineers working on the game was also making an engine for a free fan-made game B5:IFH - which was used for a spin-off game (released before the main game) Homeplanet which was jank as hell (obviously) but also extremelly hard (because it was made on B5:IFH engine and allied AI was brain-dead and you aren't playing a super-hero there) that actually sold pretty well (for a jank quickly-made game) - mostly because of how underserved was the market of hardcore space-sims. So well, that they actually made a DLC that also sold pretty well. But instead of continuing that direction and actually improving they went back to the FPS game (Neuro) which was released after the developer went bankrupt.

Looking at it now Civvie, the gun actually IS fully modeled, but because you forced it into widescreen and raised the FOV, you are able to see what is called the "Near plane clipping", a limit on most videogame cameras on how close it can render something.

Game development in early 2000's Russia was bizarre, with it's absolutely ridiculous lows and highs. People started to jump into a new world of ever-growing video games industry, new universities with video games studying and education, dozens of new developers and publishers showed up with insane money to throw around, some already experienced folks decided to leave 90's void of chaotic piracy and bootlegs market for official business, big worldwide publishers took an interest in Russia and CIS video games industry and markets while their own local expos and events were hitting hard even on international levels. Unfortunately, majority of those publishers and developers ended up making a complete garbage and wasting too much money that leads to their bankruptcy, while others are still around and there's a big chance you know and love some of their indie, free to play games or AA-AAA games they made together with some well known brands around the world.

I allowed myself to make it a little more detailed: During NECROVISION, Earth nearly fell to Satan if it wasn't for Simon who stopped the Necromancer and the Devil himself. Satan however tried again during cold war through a mad scientist who tried to create a new race of superhuman to serve Satan. After restoring the course of history in YOU ARE EMPTY, Timestrikers attacked Earth in order to revert the reverted history. Luckily, THE RIFT was closed and humanity won once again. Humans used Timestrickers' technology for genetic engineering and later for interstellar travel. We see in Vivisector that the genetic engineering is not efficent enough without clear medium, without right minerals... Some individuals, however, possess powerful NEURO abilities without any minerals, such as the main protagonist of CRYOSTASIS. Still... not poweful enough and unuseable without controllable and predictable source of energy. So the CHASE for the right minerals started. Mars was colonised but the right source for the PSI powers wasn't found there. Few centuries in the future, KREED anomaly was found and only one person was able to escape it: Daniel. He told the humanity of the powerful HUBBARDIUM mineral in the anomaly and thanks to his knowledge how to enter and escape Kreed the mining operations could begin. Later, Hubbardium was found on another planets, such as ALPHA PRIME and used for enhancing human NEURO abilities as well as creating new ones...

Funny thing about this game's insane amount of lore: It's actually a sequel to Homeplanet - a 2003 space-sim from the same developer, though that game takes place in 369 (you play as a Troyden cadet-pilot during the mentioned exile and fight for clan's survival while trying to find a new home, hence the name of the game) so I guess Neuro is technically a prequel. In fact the whole "pre-history" from the manual is actually introductory text-crawl from Homeplanet almost word for word except for the last added paragraph. The story of development of these games is a fun one too: they originally started working on Neuro back in 2001 (maybe earlier? Articles about Neuro being worked on prior to Homeplanet mention 2002, but archive of dev's site has an announcement of Homeplanet development in November 2001 with no mention of Neuro at that time), but at some point it turned out that one of their developers Oleg Petrov made a space-sim engine, so they decided to make that first.

@@marceelino I never understood that take. Sure, the new ones aren't good but the original 3 are pretty solid. Never heard a good argument against those 3.

The funny thing is that Disco Elysium is fundamentally exactly the same as Neuro and Kreed, but the author made the right call to turn his flop scifi novel into a cRPG instead of a shooter.

[@thomasprovitt1806]

Watching the gunplay in this game reminds me of playing old laser tag systems where you only get one shot every 2 seconds and the sensors don't register hits reliably so it devolves into shooting and trying to dodge the other guy while you wait to get your next shot. 😆

“Tehsnakerer” is another very underrated gaming channel, That puts out content in a similar vein to Civvie. Which Id describe as; Long Form(1 to 3+ hours long) highly edited & fully narrated lets-play styled (start to finish)play-through reviews. He plays lots of obscurely interesting, highly Janky 1st/3rd-person type games of various Genre. Ive been subscribed and watching his channel for many years, & find myself routinely returning to catchup on any new content being released. Him & his channel definitely need more love than he gets. An Underrated 💎

One of these days the video should just open with a Civvie jumpscare at max blown out volume

[@ajflink]

I'm surprised that hasn't happened, yet. It would have been very fitting for the Postal III video with those random jumpscares in the game.

[@lordmontymord8701]

The Slavjank is strong with this one. I've seen enough games with a protagonist being in over his head, but this might be the first time where you play a re- ... a special persion that doesn't understand anything.

If was great - even HD (heck and dam nation) had nice DLCs but most of the games (not made by original team) STINKS like good lord what is this unbalanced mess and mods - a bunch and all of them unbalanced hardknorr challenges

[@velocilevon]

I think in some video (I really don't remember which one, sorry) he said that he would've done it, but the gameplay loop is somewhat repetitive throughout the entire game, which doesn't mean that the game's bad, it's just that there wouldn't be much to really talk about, aside from a couple of words about levels, objectives and enemies. I think if he decides to review all Painkiller games, then there might be decent enough material for a full video. Shame that, from what I've heard, other Painkiller games, aside from the 1st one, aren't as great or even good

[@TooMuchSascha]

I'd say it's closer to Polish Serious Sam

[@sofija1996]

He could do Bulletstorm. It'll be a ride.

[@coreysucky]

if you look at the objectives its also a typo so instead of objectives it's objecives at 10:31

[@Jack_Slate]

In the first Metro book Artyom is basically like Jimmy here. Weak, fumbling through the metro, being helped by others and dumb luck (possibly the Dark Ones). Not saying that the book is bad or anything, just that I don't think that kind of character would work in a video-game environment. Jimmy here proves it.

You should watch the Tehsnakerer video on this game, it might change your mind on that stance.

The book (Metro 2033) is a fucking trashfire. I could see it even as a then-middle schooler who routinely devoured 300-350 pages of garbage sci-fi and fantasy *per day* almost every day. I can not comprehend how did it get as popular as it did.

[@Jack_Slate]

@@mazanakaUA I'm not as read as you, so I guess that could be a factor for many others as well. I was curious because of the games, so I only read the first one. I would also argue that it can't be a trash fire if it spread as much as it did, there's obviously some good parts to it.
