[RELEASE THE KRAKEN REFERENCE] - Clash of The Titans: The Video Game

[@ChrisDelChris]

My favorite part of Clash of the Titans is when Hades dug through the ditches and burned through the witches and slammed in the back of his Dragula.

[@grantdanasty]

I kinda dig the low-framerate of some enemies as a nod to the Stopmotion original film, but man, I can see how it messes with playing the game.

[@novarat4089]

man i felt like im the only one who remembered that the clash of the titans remake even existed

[@BetaRayBenX10]

I damn near walked out of the Clash of the Titans theater when they LITERALLY threw Bubo in the garbage. Bubo forever.

[@Dragonsmana]

Matt, you should see what they did to the Kraken design in this game... They turned it into a giant gremlin for some reason. I'm not kidding lol.

[@flophouseplays]

whaaaaa?

[@Dragonsmana]

@@flophouseplays Yeah, look up a video, I can't believe they dropped the ball and didn't just use the movie design lol.

[@matthew-epurnell1610]

@@flophouseplays @Dragonsmana It was the style at the time.

[@Alexalicious]

@@Dragonsmana Even more egregious since the movie design was incredible.

[@natwolf687]

A friend of mine named his son Perseus, which is really fucking embarrassing.

[@Blaze3062]

Always love the Skeleton Warriors references.

[@SteelBallRun1890]

"Let them know men did this." All I remember from this film was Mads Mikkelsen being cool.

[@DSMTheEditor]

Matt tripping out over Mads Mikkelsen reminds me of when I always forget Michael Fassbender was in 300

[@jcace13]

Jake Sully might not have been great as Perseus but the rest of the movie’s casting was surprisingly good.

[@bvanbove]

This looks WAY better than I’d have thought. Mind you my expectations were 6 feet under, but that’s not bad for a licensed game.

[@sablebranwen2539]

I had a 360, so this game was basically my God of War 3.

[@shawziiz5031]

Don't tell me you don't play Dante's Inferno. I mean I get your point, this game here is also about Greek myth, but for overall aspect, surely Dante's Inferno is the actual "God of War 3" for people who has 360 back in the days.

[@sablebranwen2539]

@@shawziiz5031 Well, I _did,_ but not on Xbox. I had it for PSP.

[@WiseYuri]

so i guess we should expect a Flophouse Plays of Rise Of Argonauts, an okay-ish rpg about Jason and the Golden Fleece myth, by Liquid Entertaiment, the devs behind Battle Realms, Desperate Housewives: The Game, and .. the main HD console versions of the first Marvel Thor tie-in game.

[@douglasbrzeski668]

Gladius is actually a pretty good game. It plays like fire emblem or shining force but it was a few years before fire emblem went 3d. Top tier junky in game cutscenes in that one too. You'd have fun with it.

[@Cohult]

If swords, sandals and Roman themes are what you're after, make sure Ryse: Son of Rome is on your list! Combat's dirt simple, typical "Gods using us for their sick games" storyline, but sometimes that's all you need after a long day.

[@profike32]

I can only assume that the human/Terminator hybrid is a reference to Dudley the protag in Dark Horse's comic Terminator: The Enemy Within.

[@carlosjaviertorre5391]

3 Sandals and sword theme games: Immortals Fenyx Rising (PC, PS5, (PS4?) , The last Xbox, switch), Kid Icarus uprising (3DS) and Rygar (PS2)

[@lordsagat2503]

I loved gladius! My wife and I played it co-op many years ago.

[@ribspreader]

Pls play more of this!

[@grime-ndofficial9894]

Problem: stop motion skeletons and sirens was Jason and the Argonauts

[@Andrew_TS]

I rented this back when it was new and wasn't too solid on it. However, the enemies with the jank framerate was a cool effect I thought.

[@luiszuniga2859]

Play "Rygar: The Legendary Adventure" the GOW before GOW

Release the kraken? more like *RELEASE THE BOGUS!!!*

[@davidromeroblaya7920]

I know that city builders are not his interest but it will be fun to watch Matt playing Zeus: Master of Olympus and the Poseidon expansion.

[@shinrailp1416]

Oh i played this game so much back in the day. Just blasting everything be it Monster or God with fireballs from heaven thanks to cheats was awesome!

[@and6239]

Gladius was an awesome game. I got to a point where i kept getting oneshotted by bugs though. For the glory of Imperia!

[@woolfieMcP]

28:13 Oh no, the family -amily -amily

[@matt_r.2510]

Hey this was fun. Great video Matt.

[@johnoneil9188]

Sam Worthington is to me like Taylor Kitch. Guy used to be in absolutely everything for a while and then just kinda vanished.

[@Keirfire]

Can't wait for you to get around to Gladius though... so much of my middle/high school time in that game

[@EclipticKnightV]

Welp, whenever you start running out of suggestions, it’ll be time for a couple “2nd GIG” options, eh? I personally loved Alter Eco and would love to see your take on the henchbabe.

[@johnsensebe3153]

I like how this team was tasked with making a game based on the _Clash of the Titans_ remake, but it's clear they preferred the original. Also, the worst version of Hades was in _Wonder Woman._ I was afraid he would start saying, "Ni!" To me.

[@riemaennchen]

I just saw this movie a couple of days ago.

[@gorgondork]

low frame monsters were too scary

[@bloodrunsclear]

Everyone wears earth tones because they live on a planet!

[@Matt-md5yt]

I played this God of War clone before it was a thing. That or was it Clash that had crazy weapons to use like God of War

[@OrfinMusik]

I got Beowulf on ps3 for 6$ at Best Buy new while it was still in the theatre 😂

[@BiukinOfficial]

Did Cam Clark play Kain from Legacy of Kain as well?

[@Corpseplower]

No, that was Simon Templeman.

[@nikkis.2066]

Was this ever made backwards compatible xD? It's a bit janky but it has some decent deals tbh. The movies aren't great but I kinda love them! I love Hades in God of War 3, dude is cenobite-like but major buff and voiced by the amazing Clancy Brown. His weapon was fantastic and fun as fuck too.

[@popblender]

I think the producers were thinking "it's a video game, so we need to make it fun and engaging." Adding a super jump button and juggling capabilities falls in line wit that. The film was boring so they probably didn't want the video game to be just as mundane. Obviously, it fails as a fun video game, but I have to admit that the 360 era of gaming was the last great era of video games. Nowadays, it's all micro- transactions, DLC, and unfinished messes. While this era of gaming had tons of games like this, it DID give us many classic games that are fondly remembered. For every 2 or 3 Clash of the Titans type games, there was a Halo or Fallout 3/NV, Metal Gear, or Mario game that pushed the medium forward. I remember so many games like this, but it's only because devs were still working out the kinks of 3d games and meaningful gameplay over graphics. Just my opinion. While I'm leaving out several other things, this is the thought that comes to mind. Oh yeah, and having to save every few mins was a bitch as well. And for games that had u save instead of auto saves, how many of us lost hours at a time because we died without saving at some point? I KNOW I did!

[@shajaki]

Dude. Give Terminator Salvation another shot. It's a favorite of mine, simply based on the sound design (mixing? iunno). The super deep base of the robot WEEEE WUURRRRR is strangely satisfying. Bad movie. Fun watch.

[@v.m.9198]

I saw this movie in theater with friends and it was so bad we went to blockbuster and rented the original and it was a far more entertaining watch despite its age

[@Endocrom]

Jaykesooley, you are the demigod.

[@damon6063]

What's up with the Call of Duty font...

[@zintosion]

Mom i want god of war! We got god of war at home.

[@jbrown907]

This game wasn't that bad at all.

[@juarezamorim]

Wrath of the Titans was way better than Clash of the Titans

[@flophouseplays]

Really? How?

[@juarezamorim]

@flophouseplays The 3 main God's united to have a grand battle at the end while in the first one they barely appeared

[@HawkOfLight1]

This game sucks
