The Terrible Fate of Deus Ex 3 - PROJECT: SNOWBLIND

Project Snowblind is what happens when you take Deus Ex and decide that actually Deus Ex sucks and Call of Duty is much more cooler. So then you make this game and everyone forgets about it 2 nanoseconds after it comes out.

The film grain was supposed to simulate the snow blinding you

[@KrazyKain]

I played this a few weeks ago, really enjoyed it. You can see little hints of when it was supposed to be a deus ex game, having multiple options to most objectives. It definitely has its jank though, crashed a lot too. It is a lot more fun if you use the shield ability a lot more than you seem to do in this video :P

[@carlrygwelski586]

I had the game as a kid and I love it too. Really shows the power of the late PS2 library, and the safe rooms make the levels flow together so nicely

[@bradleyhicks7252]

This game leaves me with so many questions, but the biggest one I have is if the dead speak.

[@nikhildebrandt2059]

"I even bought flowers. Dangit!" Sent me.

[@kaestralblades]

I wonder if it would be possible to reconstruct whatever was deus ex with this before it was mangled beyond recognition

[@Relocklabs]

everything is possible. just would take a shit load of time lol

[@carlrygwelski586]

Snowblind is still worth playing. The level progression feels very natural there are save points like an RPG instead of levels. And the save points always have goodies like ammo and med kits

[@INFILTR8US]

How about appreciating it for what it is? A fun futuristic shooter? Why does everything have to be overrated Deus Ex lol

[@carlrygwelski586]

@@INFILTR8US to be fair they nailed Deus Ex out of the park lol. Human Revolution is better than Cyberpunk

[@kennethrogers4770]

Doubt it game is trash

[@Voidhalen]

Played the crap out of snowblind on the PS2 and I loved it as a kid. If I played it now I probably won't like it but it was my favorite game at one point.

[@Gruntvc]

Did you also have/play: Warhammer 40k Fire Warrior, Cold Winter, and Urban Chaos Riot Response? I think 2 of those games were PS2 exclusives alongside Killzone 1.

[@carlrygwelski586]

@Sparks you ever play Blue Shift or Opposing Force the HL1 side games?

[@Helpme540]

Same dude. It definitely didn't age super well but I knew it like the back of my hand. I could stealth run the entire game

[@jmz2144]

Same

[@carlrygwelski586]

One of my mom's coworkers gave me this game when I was a kid. I never knew it was connected to Deus Ex, I loved that game

[@Gruntvc]

I remember Mandaloregaming covering this game. Considering the low price it often goes for now, I think it's worth a play through at least once. Maybe a sequel to this would've improved things. I dunno. Maybe check out: Warhammer 40k Fire Warrior and Haze. Two FPS games that tried to "kill" Halo.

[@echodelta2172]

I think Mandalore gave Fire Warrior the best shake it's gonna get.

[@WereScrib]

@@echodelta2172 Sad thing is the XBox version of Fire Warrior was legitimately better than the PC version. First time I've been impressed with how much better something was on console at basic functionality. Didn't make it a good game, though. Not even close. I'd like to see Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter though. The OG 'Halo Killer' lol.

[@StrikeWarlock]

@@echodelta2172 very much so, he tried to give the "fixed" version a chance and it kept crashing at the hangar level.

[@quint3ssent1a]

Idk, fire warrior tried to "kill halo"? Wasn't it a shitty licensed game which only purpose was to announce new (at that moment) faction of weaboo bluefaces robots coming to the tabletop game? Whole game is basically one giant commercial for Tau minis, nothing more.

[@StrikeWarlock]

@@WereScrib The irony here is that PS2 was hyping it up so it has an answer to Xbox's dominance with Halo.

Dude, yours is my favorite channel right now. You make lots of references to CoD and Ace Combat, my 2 favorite videogame franchises and understanding them all makes me so happy

[@inksanscool2020]

You have a ton of amazing content I’ve been here since 30k subs I’m gonna say it again such amazing content

[@Pathfinder118]

I always like to think this is one of the many 'wars' that happen in deus ex, I played it as a kid and it was hard but interesting. Might pick it up again someday.

[@natheannzbar7925]

I loved this game on ps2, it's one of those forgotten gems

[@ROFLobster4884]

It’s funny, because your hypothetical scenario is effectively my experience with this game. My father got it for me one Christmas for the OG Xbox. It was hard as hell, but I loved this game. Played it all the way through.

[@zombi2896]

Thank you oboe i have been looking for this game for almost 10 years

[@OMMIAMSalvation]

1:52 Did you really slip an Ace Combat Zero reference in here? I love you

I will say, cyberpunk slang for "getting your optics hacked and reset" being "snowblind" would work, will keep that in mind lol

i used to play this game religiously when i was a kid, the hospital intro is imprinted on my brain, I miss this.

What N64 PS1 era game has a night time snow level where you have to save the President or something? I always thought that was Snowblind but apparently I've never played Snowblind. And now I've gotten old and have dementia or something.

[@pazsion]

Did they use a half life engine and put an overdose of distance dithering 😑, how’s that guy turn it off? Or does it fade as you progress?

[@christianmariogreco9330]

I have really good memories about this game, it's not the best, I actually prefered Socom, CoD 2, Killzone and Battlefield 2 modern combat but even though I'm looking at it right now, knowing it's not as good as I remember I can't change my mind. Maybe the only thing that I'm not going to do is to play it again, I just usually play Black or Ace Combat even this days and that's it. thanks for the video, it unlocked a lot of good memories.

[@bigslurpee2078]

I actually loved this game when I was younger. Wish I still had the disk.

[@somecommonsense4647]

Ironically Project Snowblind was the very first PS2 game I ever played, and I remember really enjoying it. If I ever saw a copy again I would definitely rebuy it just to add to my collection but it wasn't a terrible game. And the thing about the PS2 era is the fact that there was a ton of mediocre games amongst the really great games and in this era the time of crunch was great. So while we might have loved a lot of the classics, almost every game of the PS2 and original Xbox had massive amounts of Jank in the games. However what everyone loves about these games was that they felt like video games, something that a lot of video games fail at these days. Sometimes you don't want 200 hour long games with pages and pages of script with endless cutscenes😅

the game has soft lock aim assist... even on PC, with a mouse. Its VERY annoying and I couldnt find an option to turn it off. So trust me, they weren't cheating, and probably didn't even want it.

Project Snowblind is a good first person shooter game, but it's not a Deus Ex game (despite the publisher's claims), since it's totally linear, the story is OK but not even remotely as good as in a Deus Ex game, you get no choice as to what augmentations you get (nor even the order in which you acquire them), there are no really memorable characters, etc. The worst thing about this game it that, for some inexplicable reason, there is no skill setting. You can only play it on one skill level, and that is the equivalent of easy in most other first person shooters, so there isn't much challenge at all,
