The Most CHAOTIC Racing Game

[@Corax]

It's been too long since I covered a wild little racing game, so here goes! Took a bit longer than usual on this one so I hope it was worth the wait! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

[@insanebrain6685]

7:05 keep milking that money because I'm unironically enjoying these videos as I can feel the age in my bones...I'm so old

I feel another good game for a video is driver: San Francisco

[@Nightmareof94]

Thanks for giving this game some well deserved love

[@Berd]

oh my god i FUCKING love that game

[@OrdinaryDoommarine]

me too bro, me too

[@tskrinus]

i love frank malcow

[@dankmemer5699]

I knew you had a great taste, but I didn't knew it was this good. Based berd

[@xislomega242]

YES! And I'm so happy to see Berd and Corax love this game I've played as a kid! I still listen to "Demon Speeding" !

[@lapiswolf2780]

The berd's here!

[@RolandTheJabberwocky]

Racing games dropping soft body physics is one of the greatest tragedies in gaming history.

[@jamesboane4515]

I mean, it is kinda difficult to maintain without knowing it fully

[@logandunlap9156]

@jamesboane4515 and they wouldn't know it now more than ever?

[@RolandTheJabberwocky]

@jamesboane4515 they figured it out literal decades ago. If anything, it would be easier than ever. The real reason is that they're cowards who won't just use fictional car models, and the car brands don't want their products able to be damaged.

[@summitier22]

we still have beamng on the simulation side of things hopefully Wreckcreation's development goes smoothly and it doesn't end up being another Dangerous Driving, it's the last hope I have of a Burnout sequel

[@mr.razington7881]

Wreckfest has em! Sequel is coming next year too, can't wait!

[@tangogolf6784]

"I Was Just Wondering If You Wanted to Hang Out With Me and Smoke Weed and Fill Our Bellies With Diet Soda and Play "Burnout Revenge" for the PS2." Wait wrong game.

[@katethegoat7507]

This is the first time I've heard someone complain about the LACK of bloom and piss filter from that generation of games and tbh I welcome it.

[@Concon12316]

2:19 i think the dubious mods video has made a permanent impact on corax

[@Corax]

I need to purge it by making a part 2 of that video, but KZbin fried my ass for the naughty stuff last time lol

[@Mr.Shmeat]

You cannot just jumpscare me with that devious picture of Foxy the Pirate, Mr. Corax.

[@Saucememes]

Exactly I feel the same way about the foxy picture even if Corax showed the full pic of it 🫲🥴🤙

[@funtimeshaanydude]

​@@Saucememes wha-

[@tekgeekster]

It certainly scared the shit out of me. lol

[@hamsi1792]

The best part is, this game got a huge update back in summer and got workshop support along with a few other things. Such a blast with friends

[@ceast5273]

It's like if NakeyJakey could animate and was half-goblin. Good stuff

[@Corax]

High praise! Thank you!

[@MrSomeDonkus]

I always felt like i must have accidently universe hopped into one where no one played flatout 2, because despite it being the best racing game ever made, nobody ever talks about it. Very good video. I hope more people try it out. The first time your car ever flies through the air at 100 miles an hour, does 6 backflips and then slams into the ground in first place, thats when youll truly understand how beautiful this game is.

[@RolandTheJabberwocky]

I think it's because its spotlight got eaten by Burnout, and the tragic event that was Flatout 3, kinda clouded its name in people's memories. Honestly, I have a real hard time picking between Flatout 2 and Burnout 3.

[@FoxyAlice93]

Using Redline to describe just how good the nitro feels is just perfect

[@k3salieri]

Great movie.

[@ywtv6]

​@k3salieri hell yeah it is!

[@MatthewCSnow]

I really wonder why did racing games a focus on destruction and crashes died out, those were some of the most fun ones of them all

[@DemodiX]

Because at some point it becomes boring

[@pedromesquita6647]

Car manufacturers are cowards and don't like their cars portrayed being folded in half so the devs get no licenses to use real cars :/

[@ChromeConnoisseur08]

Because people are dumb and boring and don't like car crashes and explosions and car boom car zoom fast go skrrrrr 💥💥💥bckshoooom

[@enumaelish9193]

​@DemodiX It's okay to be wrong from time to time.

[@Exotic_Nothingness]

Because game devs think they NEED to have real cars in their games. And the manufacturers who make those real cars are sensitive little snowflakes who dislike their cars getting destroyed on screen

[@dadofdud7510]

The amount of times music synced up with car crashes in my playthroughs of original Flatout 2 was absolutely terrific, the soundtrack was just built for that. Like, when I first played it back in 2010’s and got to the racetrack map, I jumped the ramp the wrong way and my Lentus (I don’t remember the class or a car I was in, but something close to that) started doing the fastest cartwheeling I had ever seen, meanwhile Man or Animal’s first chorus got to an end and Audioslave started screaming “out of control!!!” while drums were rolling as if the car was just doing that - man, this is when I realised that I love this game and I needed to ask my parents for more Hot Wheels to beat into each other. That and Dirt 2 is pretty much why I started loving racing games as a whole and still replaying them on some special occasions to this day, and I’m so happy that you covered it in your style (adore the 3D animated Road King segments and all the bits, comparing the sense of speed to the Yellowline from “Redline” was so good). Apologies for longwinded comment, this is my first time commenting on anything and English is my second language. Thought it was too good of a memory to pass up. Love all of your works and branching out to video game things is really informative and uniquely done, wish you all the best in your future stuff! Also, same devs made Wreckfest, and I can’t even begin to describe on how great that game is, everybody check it out if you haven’t.

[@Corax]

Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Flatout really can facilitate those special moments, it's not the only game that can do that by all means but nothing just hits that specific combination! Nothing wrong with your English as far as I can tell! Cheers!

[@dadofdud7510]

Just woke up and I appreciate your response! Honestly the closest I got to scratching that itch in different games was Yakuza franchise, specifically their spinoffs Judgment and Lost Judgment with unintentionally timing punches, kicks, bicycles and heat actions to all kinds genres of tracks (including orchestra from what I can remember) being the constant thing happening to me. I might as well upload one of the clips on to my channel for anybody to see for themselves. Again, thank you for making this video, take your time proper for the next ones!

[@possibly_ben]

ooh, wondef what you think of race driver: grid

[@dadofdud7510]

@possibly_ben Would love to play it, I only listened to the soundtrack which is from what I’ve heard and seen actually dynamically changes depending on your position in the race or if it’s the last lap or not, kinda like Payday, but non-linearly. Planning to get it on PS3 and maybe even play it on the emulator with Xtra mod which adds a bunch of cut content and supposedly adds an option to remove Mexico filter.

[@jojoflap]

I love the change in content. You have a pleasant voice, the adding your own animation to a documentary-style video is fresh to say the least, and I like the niche topics you choose for your videos.

[@Corax]

Thanks, I'm glad it's doin it for you! Quite like making these kinds of videos, too!

[@LazyCatAnims]

5:27 That reference to Red Line is so good, such an underrated piece of art!

Holy crap we really did grow up play the same racing games

[@eisforeveryone2424]

I swear, you are one of those rare creators where I would watch you talk about ANYTHING in a video. I dont give a fuck about racing games, do when youre talking about em though

[@Rauiklsnugt]

It's wild how you've gone from "cool short animations" to "longer-form videos about games with cool animated inserts" and I still end up watching every new ten-minute-plus video over and over as much as I watched every one-minute video. Incredible work. Can't wait to see what you make a video about next!

[@Binglesnoober]

My favourite digital goober has posted once more. Hell yes.

[@vladuwutz]

core memories playing this game back then. Also now enjoying Wreckfest

[@bionicdragon5]

I love how Corax turns into Raiden whenever his bloodlust comes out. Also, 2:19 Excellent taste.

That was so uncalled for 💀

[@benjaloza8127]

wow this became my favourite video of yours instantly, i cant stop rewinding and rewatching the gags again and again, im laughing out loud like a maniac

[@drakoronus]

Dude I respect that you're making content that you love instead of just fan animations!

[@lucasthedragon7680]

5:09 nice Redline reference

[@MansurPG]

dude ive been playing FLATOUT 2 since i was a 9 years old and been playing it till i became 15

[@TheCynicalOne]

YOU HAVE AWOKEN A PRIMAL MEMORY WITHIN ME. I could never remember what game let you do the vehicle stunts, no matter what there was a stunt based hole in my body ragdoll heart but the moment you showed that bullseye falling out, it reminded of hours just flinging the dude around cause I thought it funny as a kid. Thanks for the reminder of a lifetime!

[@corporalcreative9892]

[@JQN_d._.b]

[@grimace3983]

i don't even play racing games but i love hearing you talk about them, your videos are just really entertaining to me

[@Baratako0]

I was NOT ready for this video. I still have my Flatout 2 CD on the shelf in my room from my childhood

[@romanbeckett3130]

Corax all your 3d and 2d animated sketches are so wonderful. In all your review videos they always catch me off guard and make me so happy to see that i rewind to see them once or twice more. Your production effort is not lost!!! And its very appreciated!!!!

[@SaabEJ]

fun fact, the first 3 flatout games got workshop support on Steam like 3 months ago out of nowhere, so do with that info what you will.

[@chromv0lt36]

This game is the embodiment of pure testosterone, with cool cars, crazy crashes, incredible sense of speed and *oh b o i* the music is a certified classic, without a doubt an 11/10, great video mate, love the animation!

[@DaVince21]

Dude, the visuals are _wild_ on this one!

[@capiest]

read visuals as vriska

[@bojan8978]

I never thought I'd see the day where my childhood game would get covered in this day and age. This put a smile on my face.

[@MrTripleM3]

FlatOut 2 was a amazing party game for lan party. The salt from playing this game with a bunch of your friends in a room shouting at eachother was great.

[@Crowswave]

I was just thinking about this game the other day while describing it to a friend at the gym. Naturally, I instinctively checked your channel-and, of course, you had uploaded a video about it the day before. It's like you always know exactly what I'm thinking

[@frownyclowny6955]

Ah, a 10-minute video of a random guy covering his hyperfixation in a game genre I care little about. My compliments to the chef. :) Such love in a subject I will usually look over. What’s more human than that? Also slamming cars together in game engine big fun :3

[@Petar321_GT]

Thank you for shining some light on this underrated masterpiece.

[@WaveSmash]

I like that you're creating videos you want to make instead of just crunching out Jerma animations. Keep it up!

[@Corax]

Tbh there also just aren't that many Jerma moments that necessitate an animated version, it can be quite hard to pick the right one sometimes! Thank you!

[@WaveSmash]

@Corax don't get me wrong, your Jerma animations are expressive and enjoyable in a way that's hard to articulate, outside of just watching them. But I'm glad that you are pursuing a style of content and creative outlet that is (hopefully) more personally satisfying for you. I'm excited to see all the Jerma animations you make, but I'm 100% here for your other works. You're trying new things and I hope it pays off!

[@floatingskull31]

That last animation was fire

[@saithewolf4548]

i have a very vivid memory of being 9 years old playing the "Throw the guy mode" where its this big ramp and you hit the different cards. definitely one of the best childhood memories

[@aaaoooosoveryeepy_あい]

The moment I hear that intro and Rob Zombie's voice I start levitating. Shaped my taste in games/music for years to come

[@arigangan]

Thank you for putting so much effort into the video Corax. The lil animation and drawings were very entertaining.

[@threatlevel2015]

5:27 Redline mentioned, instant like. Man I miss games like this, just pure chaos while trying to race.

[@nyanezt9636]

oh my gosh, i wasnt expecting flatout2 when i clicked on this video!! I have vivid memories of the stunt mode, re-trying that one where you go down a huge slope, and I presume crash your guy into some spot to score pointz. The soccer I also remember. The derbies, oooh yeah. Thanks for making me remember another game from my childhood. Well made video of course

[@justus1810]

Finally a non russian flatout 2 video!

[@cupcake8915]

This one's my childhood Got the full soundtrack memorised FlatOut 2 Ultimate Carnage as well The OG better tho

[@lolcatststs]

The quips and accompanying lil animations are top notch in this one, thanks for another banger Corax :)

[@nolram]

This is probably my 2nd favorite review of a racing game ever, right after Posy’s video on Powerslide. Great job!

[@Welhonen]

Ah FlatOut 2, I remember you fondly. This was a regular game that I played with my friends during LAN parties. So good.

[@YurtFerguson]

So glad to see this get some love. I even adore the original flatout series. It's definitely a lot less high fuel high octane but it gives that perfect feeling of down home Derby racing

[@SixLNii]

FlatOut, FlatOut 2, and FlatOut Ultimate Carnage were peak. Then the new devs ruined every other FlatOut after that. _…and then the Old Devs rised from the graveyard and brought Wreckfest to the table._

[@SteepWriter]

Just commenting to say how your editing and comedic timing is just as high quality as your animations. Thanks for the videos.

[@Ape_Tero]

1:40 Gas Guzzler Xtreme was another car racing game that featured weapon pickups. Basically Flatout with Guns.

[@TYTDledragongris]

Pretty fun game, tho i'm pretty sure it was mostly inspired by the Burning Rubber series, these are 3D flash games

[@looloopaa]

This is one of the games we play for our annual family and friends LAN party! Love it to pieces!

[@carracerv1522]

I see flatout, I like. Fr, the use of Rob Zombie's Demon Speeding in the official trailer is S Tier usage of licensed music.

[@LenkyLad]

I could already tell from the car in the thumbnail what game this was and I cannot believe it's taken *this* long for someone to make a video about my all time favorite racing game, it just strikes that perfect balance between arcade and realism in a racing game that has an insane amount of destruction without sacrificing the adrenaline speed you get from holding down that nitro

[@CAIR-Duragon]

It surprised me to see Corax act more in this video. Feeling like someone else inside the story rather than the analytical spectator from outside. It can tell us how deep he cared for the game back then and how much he is enjoying himself by making this video. I won't ask you to keep playing a character from now on, but please, keep having this much fun. There's nothing better than seeing people enjoy their craft.

[@Corax]

Really glad the energy came through, I wanted to match the vibe of the game with the pacing, jokes, etc. and it was quite fun to make! Very happy it made an impression, cheers!

[@xXAnDr3ZXx]

I'm glad people are still talking about FlatOut 2. Very chaotic racing game of 2006.

[@PercytheMapleBoy]

An awesome video about Flatout AND AN EQUALLY AWESOME REDLINE MENTION?! LETS GOOOO-

[@zachfragoso4581]

Many fond memories of this on PS2. Using the Flatmobile or the Jet Car to wallride on the oval track and slam into the other racers below is a satisfaction I haven't felt from racing games since.

[@JeliLiam]

FlatOut 2 my beloved

[@alessandroditerlizzi569]

I played Flatout one as a kid and loved it and 100% it, I always wanted to play the 2 but never owned it, but with seeing more people talking about it and praise it it makes me wanting to play it more and more before than asap

[@Corax]

It goes on sale on Steam, might be on GOG too, I picked up a key for like 3 bucks!

[@fessin555]

You were the last person I thought you would make a video about one of my favorite games of all time, but it's still nice to know someone shares my love for FlatOut 2 (and Road King)

[@redheadedviking9415]

I cannot describe the fun that I had in this game! I remember wanting there to be an open world back in the day. Even though it wasn't I still played the crap out of it as it was the only racing game that felt rewarding by just ramming into opponents, or launching yourself out of the car to do a stunt.

[@tumate45]

6:45 Dicaprio pointing at the screen Destruction Derby Raw menu music Such a easy to remember song, I love it

[@Subreon]

sigh. the 00s... we an play the old games any time. and though they're still fun and hold up today. we'll never get "that" feel back. being a kid on the bleeding edge of discovery right smack dab in the middle of the golden age of gaming. man. while lots of joy still comes today. nothing compares to "that" feel. even though my childhood was rough as hell. "that" feel is just "that" powerful to overcome the bad memories. also... that foxy pic. owo

Man, this is such a neato channel. Reminds me of a combo of Sseth meets hotdiggedydemon. Best of all worlds baby. Thanks mate for making these.

[@TheArklyte]

What made Flatout 1/2 stand out even more was soundtrack that was actually pleasant to listen to. Unlike some other racing games of the same time...

[@Detoox21]

...like? NFS games had pretty good soundtracks, burnout 3 forward was all absolute bangers, midnight club (mostly 3) had a pretty cool soundtrack, gran turismo didn't focus much on the soundtrack but still had some nice tunes... List goes on and on. What racing game from that era had bad music???

[@donaldpotts4853]

Talking about FlatOut, Redline references, animation. Its perfect.

[@the_nameless_guy]

This game was my first ever game on PC. And to this day, it's still my favorite racing game. It was my childhood, and formed my current taste in music. There's also FlatOut: Head On game for PSP which is exactly like FlatOut 2, but with carnage mode included. I finished everything with gold (except last race in carnage mode with silver (yet)) and have in possession all cars upgraded to the max.

[@Innuya]

[@nono-oz4gv]

i love the resurgence of old racing games lately

[@KalTheSkeleton]

Excellent video sir. Burnout 3 is my favorite racing game of all time but this is probably the first time I've seen anything about flatout other than the driver being thrown out, so I didn't realize the actual racing would be so tempting. I'll have to give it a shot sometime.

[@kingechatronii7379]

YES FLATOUT 2 HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE RACING GAME WITHOUT QUESTION!!! Sorry, I'm just REALLY elated to see you covering it! My father still has the OG CD somewhere!

[@watermelon5159]

Man your videos are just amazing. Really love these game reviews/discussions too.

[@kostykar2167]

FlatOut 2 is a game that has shaped my musical tastes. FlatOut 2 is the game I'm still playing. FlatOut 2 is a game... Which made me feel like a child and not just me. Hello from Russia! ✌

[@rockadansky]

Loved this game since I was a lil' fetus, and will continue to love it even after I'm dead n' buried. A headcanon I've always had regarding the og game is that the special cars you unlock after completing the classes with all gold trophies are actually the player's actual, canon cars. Only to fit better on the idea of the player being it's own character in that world, and respectively, the 8th member. (They did uh... change that in ultimate carnage, but we don't talk about that.)

[@DedAlexFive]

Great video, man. First time watching and what a game you covered haha. One of my favorite games of all time! Cheers!

[@theflightlessalbatross3415]

The best demolition derby and banger racing game ever created along with Test Drive Eve of Destruction, i love the soundtrack, HUD and the mid-2000s aesthetic of this game.

[@gavinmitchell3709]

You know, you are the last person I expected to do this format of video and absolutely kill it, the script is hilarious. I would unironically pay for this if I wasn't already barely scraping rent lol. Seriously though, the way you wrote this within the first 60 seconds has me realizing why video essay-ish things like these are so mundane and unexciting, it's because they all write the script the exact same way. It's almost cookie cutter. The only ones in recent memory to break this is Angry Video Game Nerd and, apparently, YOU. It's a joy to see this and the video itself is a joy to watch. Please keep making videos.

[@Corax]

I still have a long way to go but I did try to actively improve the pacing here so I'm glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@SupremeDorian]

i never played a flatout game, but burnout paradise was perhaps my favourite game as a kid, and i still occasionally go on another binge to this day. it's a series i miss dearly, and i wish for it to make a comeback someday. on that note, good choice with the obscure burnout music tracks in the background of parts of this video :p
