The Most Action-Packed FPS Game on PS2! | BLACK (2006)

[@Maakeys]

Binged all your videos the last month or so, easily one of my new favorite channels ❤️

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou, that means a lot man! I hope you enjoyed the early ps1 vids ❤️

[@Maakeys]

@EvanHelblingYT oh for sure! What drew me in was that if I had a KZbin channel, it would almost be exactly the same style of content and editing I would use. It's like our generation just knows which boxes to check off for each other, lmao

This game was my late father's all time fav!!! he bought me PS2 but he never really played it himself until i introduced him to this game! i loved watching him getting immersed into the game though he didnt really understand English that much, and so i spent countless nights with him teaching, playing and translating stuff for him, which is a core memory material for me, we had sooo much fun:D he REALLY wanted to see the future of gaming especially the post-PS3 era but sadly he's gone before he could witness it himself, but hey, i got a lot to tell once i meet him later in another life! Thanks for bringing this game to my attention again man, great video as always, keep up the good work! much love❤

[@Faz15-qu2jn]

Wonderful comment

[@EvanHelblingYT]

that's beautiful to hear man, thanks for sharing this. That must've been so cool seeing him take interest in something like that! Thankyou as always friend, much love (:

[@backtobasicbtbchannel]

Same with my dad

[@felman87]

I'm amazed at what Black was able to accomplish on the PS2. We're talking a machine that has a 300 Mhz CPU with 32MB of ram. The fact that this isn't a slideshow is a miracle.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

There's so much going on at all times, it really is awesome

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

That is not the specs of a PS2 my dude that's like ps1/n64 specs.

[@asweet93]

​​@@zyourzgrandzmaz no hes right. That is the specs of the ps2. The original release was actually a little slower The og playstation only had a 33mhz cpu and 2MB of ram

[@okchannel2756]

Today people doing less with more powerful hardware.

[@alexcurtis8132]

I'll never forget how insane this was when it came out lol so damn good

[@DBelt494]

This game is a pure classic, one of the games that made me love first-person shooters. Didn't age great but it holds a special place in my childhood.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

I wish I played more fps games growing up, idk what my deal was skipping out on stuff like this

[@redheadboyyy123]

I love that the cutscenes look like a guy with a camcorder recorded at his local AMC

[@BSEUNHIR]

Black was such an interesting title. I still remember how they had to dial back environmental destruction, because it turned out with the original amount a lot of playtesters were unable to progress because the level was just too destroyed to get to the next part. Amazing.

[@Looflobo]

Oh my god Evan, my favourite FPS of all time! Thanks for doing this one!

[@EvanHelblingYT]

I made a good decision it seems, thankyou sir!

[@sankarean]

i remember saw this game ad when i was kid, which is very rare for a game run to a TV ad where i live

[@UncAussie]

Sounds like Australia in the 2000s lol

[@theuselessknight6021]

I remember reading a review of this game before it came out and one of the big selling points of BLACK was its destructible environments - buildings would topple, windows get smashed, chunks of walls would come out with explosions - it was incredible for its time. I wanted to play it so bad, but when I saw it for sale I didn't really have the money for another game, so I never played it. Very interesting to watch a video about it after so many years.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

I remember seeing this game in game informers and on the gamestop shelves everytime I went there. But yeah for some reason I never bought it (money forsure). I'm glad I finally tried it

[@totenfurwotan4478]

Dude you’ve been taking back through my childhood with these reviews

[@grindycore3438]

Had to pause my video on the 2 mins mark and grab snacks because i knew i was in for a treat. Keep it up dude,you are killing it!

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou dude! I hope the snacks were well enjoyed :) I appreciate it mannnnn

[@fieryjalapenos4442]

I loved that game when it was new. It was on Xbox game pass so I said hell yeah brother and gave it a couple more run throughs. Still feel like it holds up so 9/10.

[@robertblackburn752]

Great video man,love the stand up shtick very cool. You took me back to the good old days. I played this game over and over, can’t get enough of the tense atmosphere, chunky explosions, teeth rattling gun sounds, bullets thudding into bodies, ping sound of helmets being hit and of course the agonising screams and yells of the enemy as you kill them. Criterion nailed it right out of the box. Love the Burnout games too, insane mayhem racing.

[@arkwrightdubstep]

The "hey there it's Marco" had me fucking howling.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Let’s goooo haha

[@blvcksuns137]

The excessive use of Timesplitters sounds is just music to my ears, thanks king

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Anything for you king

[@GeorgeWeeman]

They really need to make a sequel! Love your videos, and your quick witty humor....I don't know why, but you almost give off a Markiplier vibe....Not an insult by no means, because Markiplier is amazing, and you are too!

[@EvanHelblingYT]

They should! And thankyou! I’ve actually heard that once before. I think Markiplier’s great so it’s definitely a compliment. I appreciate ya!

[@rollypollyguy3976]

Black, Project Snowblind, Killzone, makes me want a PS2

[@dirkdiggler9796]

Remember watching my dad play this but never did myself, might be time to go dig it up and bust out the crt tv. Great video man keep it up

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Go grab that shovel, thankyou man

[@BassamGhoneim]

that game was one of the PS2 best shooters ever ....EVER I TELL YA !!!

[@valvenis95]

Another solid video my dude keep up the great work, enjoy your content

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou my dude, appreciate ya 🤘

[@estebanguillen6745]

I like how you put timesplitters sound effects in the video lol

[@dylanbiro495]

One of the best channels I came across in my routine post midnight youtube binges. Please do the game "Freedom Fighters"❤

[@EvanHelblingYT]

late night youtube is OP haha thankyou man. I’ll check that one out! ❤️

[@needabettername1559]

man i wish your videos were longer! also classic banger as always

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Sammmee man! Thankyou dawg 🤘

[@JoystiQ_777]

Great video, finding your channel by random was a great thing for me

[@EvanHelblingYT]

thankyou dude, youtube comes through sometimes (:

[@MarcelE80]

I remember testing this game over at a friend's place. Honestly, watching this video, the gun play looks to be really solid and hold up(or maybe it's just your amazing sound edits that makes it feel more satisfying?😅). I'll try to get my hands on this game. Great video as always Evan! The lasagna joke was great, haha Edit: Sounds like Witcher Geralt voice actor?

[@EvanHelblingYT]

I may or may not have used some different gun sounds haha, but they were really good regardless of whatever was edited in. Thanks as always Marcel!

[@Cody_AT4]

The gun models on that game were nuts for 2006 on a ps2

[@Kn0wOneNos3]

yeah, easily the best FPS graphics on PS2, and among best graphics of any PS2 game!!

[@ayochill9716]

This game was legitimately good as fuck, I remember there were secret chrome weapons or something. Goated game

[@Facebooker413]

It blew my mind as a kid when I was able to put a suppressor on my pistol in real time, and then again when the bullets on the MG42 belt jiggled.

[@bencourt734]

Played on xbox, and I could listen to my own sounds, which was an awesome feature.

[@SamMcGarrityIsOnYoutube]

Nailed it. So good dude, keep it up

[@EvanHelblingYT]

I appreciate dude, thankyou!

[@Azriiim]

I've been watching these videos for a while now and it's clear to me what made old games so good - not being afraid to be corny and fun for fun's sakw. Loads of modern games take themselves too seriously.

[@deavyhick6803]

This game was so sick. One of my favorite shooters ever.

[@JordanPatullo]

My man straight killin it as always

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Oooweeee 👻

[@MarcelE80]

Also, I know you love Timesplitters. Free Radical Design and the next TS installment is at risk being cancelled once again. Breaks my heart. I'm doing everything in my power to #savetimesplitters

[@EvanHelblingYT]

awwee mannn that's a bummer, well maybe hopefully my sounds can help bring awareness lol

[@jdm8702]

I had such a blast playing that game.

[@zm1786]

love the timesplitters effects

[@RokushoHasashi]

BLACK was a fun game to play, I was in high school when it came out. (I have BLACK for Original XBOX) This game plays and looks better on the Xbox Series X 😎🤘🏽🎮

[@karimhammadi7293]

this game really needs a remake it was ahead of its time

[@LoganTheDevilMayCryFan]

I've had this game for a while on the Xbox One and Series X for a while (picked it up from a EnterainMart years earlier) and I still think of this as one of my favorite FPS games (besides the 2016 Doom).

[@markkaistone6419]

Man i rememb3r chapter 4 It was amazing, being a kid trying my best to speeed thru when i heard team alpha dying on the radio. I was trying hard to get to them to save them and then when i got there sand they were all dead. I was mad, i wanted to avenge them like the mc so i went ham on the final Great times

[@justabowlofsalad4147]

This was one my favorite games growing up

When black dropped it was groundbreaking.

[@misterprecocious2491]

This and Time Splitters future perfect were my favourite ps2 games, still own them and the console but cannot get hold of a controller 🙁

The TimeSplitters 2 sounds get a Pavlovian reaction out of me.

[@grahamkelly8662]

I loved this game but I’ll always remember getting stuck and could not get any further. Basically, there’s no health regen in this game and I got to a checkpoint, had tiny bit of health and kept dying before I could find health and gave up 😂

Nice blowing up skills though

It bothers me how the sound suppressor on the Glock in the second level still produces a flash.

[@dantealgre5631]

I love the story

[@RiVer-Parish]

Classic game dude.

[@LegionIscariot]

The worst things about this game are 1) Black is a terrible name for a video game makes it inconvenient to search. 2) Was never released on pc.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Haha yes the title never made sense to me. And I actually never realized a lot of older games were even on pc tbh

[@LICKSTERxx]

Looking at this so called next gen consoles are having our pants down what do todays developers actually do apart from virtue signal

[@KyubiHitashi]

still wanna see how to play these ps2 games on pc

[@Mankey619]

This game brings me back so many memories as a kid. One of the most unique and obscure FPS game made for the PS2, and to think it's made by the guys who've made Burnout is amazing. Black is a combination of both Killzone and COD.

[@kiawan]

GRENADA!!!! thats the first thing I hear when I remember this game.

[@InhumanBaron]

I always felt like Black was a prototype take on Medal of Honor in a modern setting, considering it was an FPS by EA. Sure enough, Medal of Honor would eventually make that leap into modern warfare (no relation to Call of Duty Modern Warfare). Hope you're feeling better by now Evan

[@EvanHelblingYT]

That sounds like a good theory to me. Growing up I never played fps games for some reason, but I heard about Medal of Honor from my cousins. I need to check those out. (Call of Duty makes me sad btw lol) I’m back to max health finally, thankyou Baron

I played Black on the original xbox back in the day and I loved it but was never able to complete the last difficulty option. I was blown away by how good the effects of this game looked and it is still a shame that we never got a Black 2. Awesome video as always
