[@Azurethewolf168]

@@SomeGrunt_On_KZbin I think they should’ve kept that scary atmosphere and maybe made it more like the first world, world 2’s story could just be stretched to world 4-5 while the world 1 story continues to world 3. The story feels like the original creators had a good idea of where it was going but feels like another dev team wrote the story for worlds 2-4 since it feels so different and out of place

[@3ofSpades]

It’s no wonder the focus shifted to some game dev stuff. The old devs that made the scary stuff left around 2017 due to a hostile takeover and internal corruption that made the game what it is now. The pixel gun devs made a blog post about it when battle royale came out, and here's what I gather now having gotten into game dev myself. The survival horror story that borrowed from other popular media and made it into an uncomfortable murder mystery was unique, and kind of cool feeling like it could go anywhere. The newer worlds with the cubic overlord aren’t really as fictitious as you'd think since the new team likely just didn’t have time to make a new story, so they just used the internal office problems as a Trojan horse to get around NDAs and rush a new world out, thus the levels consisting of mostly broken, disconnected, and recycled content. The parkour level stands out to me especially, since it was so busted and difficult that it was unplayable at launch. Strangely lacking much polish even compared to world 3. The virus was corporate violently changing the game’s identity and leaving it half busted and chipped like broken blocks. The virus is named after the game developer, Cubic. That always sounded wrong to me. The company name was originally RilliSoft, then it changed to Cubic Games, Pixel Gun Company, etc. multiple times without warning. The campaign and business stuff is adding up in similarity and it's seeming more like a warning and less coincidence. The old game is being likened to a "mistake" or a "bug" in the plot as it continues, and this very well looks like an in-universe way of telling people about how the horror story and survival aspects that made the game originally popular are being killed to focus on the silly multiplayer stuff they make bank on. The corporate virus is dirtying the truth to sell cyber santas. I think this makes the most sense, thus why the story cut to silly so abruptly and was barely updated. The game got very popular very quickly and it got the attention of investors who wanted to chase trends for cash instead expanding on the unique horror niche it found. It was blindsided by its hubris, and the 2017-2018 multiplayer mass bannings were the final nail in the coffin for most. Like Icarus, Pixel Gun flew too close to the sun and dropped dead after it had burned too many bridges, and like Newbie, the game itself has just been in this horrible state of purgatory waiting for someone to make it good again. Still, I like this concept for a story and see a lot of potential, so I'll be looking into it for my own game projects. Very fascinating.

[@punandpongfamily5480]

The lore went from “defend the house from the zombies” to “welcome to the matrix” 💀

[@iwannaseehowlongyoucanmakethis]

the reason why the story was so insane was because most of these maps existed before the story was made, which meant they made the story around the maps. That's why the world 2 is so wacky, you fight mummies, flying pigs, and even the devil himself. World 3 is somehow even wackier despite the maps being made exactly for it.

[@francisquito4590]

The main problem i always found with this game (I played it in 2013 being like 9) was the constant rebalancing of weapons to make it more p2w (to the point where even in the campaing you need p2w, in 2013 you could use only the base weapons (the ones they give you in the first few levels) and still have no trouble finishing the first world, and the fact that changing the device you were playing it on would mean you lost your account like 90% of the time Edit: I always loved how the game (in all aspects) was a massive franchise mash-up and it was full of references to both movies (the guy from the cemetery *has* to be a "the Shining" reference, both the possition and the maze are there and i think there was an axe close to him too, and how unique the loadouts were, the inclusion of old CS maps like the pool and such, this game was a blast

Born in 2004, this game was everything for me. I played every minute I could. Back then, I didn't care about the cheaters, or rich white moms giving their kids thousands of dollars to spend on gems. I didn't care that it was pay-to-win. I just enjoyed it. But as I got more mature, the whole game got worse too. Micro-transactions got worse, balancing got worse, cheating was getting worse. So much shit being added, remove, changed. The game was all over the place. I haven't played it in a while but it's probably in a whole world bad management and greedy fucks at the top.

Italy here. I casually discovered Pixel Gun 3d BEFORE the change of app (dunno why, i was 11 or 12, but i remember that the app wasn't working anymore and i got to reinstall another one, losing all my contents) and damn, that was BRUTAL. The bosses, the weapons that the campaign let u unlock stage by stage (which the majority of them were absolutely useless or uncomfortable), the number of spawning mobs, t were TOO MUCH for me. Also the forest level and the hospital, they absolutely scared me. I also tried to come back a few years ago, but there are too many broken weapon too easy to unlock, and the campaign now is easy af. I believed that PG3D was a little game that only me and some of my friends played, but i am so happy to see that the whole world loved it. Nice video man, you restored a memory here

It’s unfortunate you never mentioned the various Easter eggs with the ghost girl leading up to the release of the 4th campaign. It’s probably why it’s still my favorite.

[@brothdian]

Wait what??

[@3ofSpades]

The newbie and a ghost girl identical to the one in the story mode can be seen in one of the multiplayer maps. It’s a cyberpunk looking one. Due to the fate of both the girl and newbie being unknown, people have speculated that the girl is dead and the newbie is still trapped in the cubic revolution game. However, this has yet to be confirmed to this day.

[@mr.herobrinegaming844]

Can you explain about the Ghost Girl?

[@ManGuyPersonTTT]

@@3ofSpades That futuristic cyberpunk map is called Parkour City 3019. If it’s 1000 years in the future and the campaign is assumed to take place during our present time, it would make sense that the girl is long dead after all that time. Pretty unsettling to think the Newbie has been trapped that long…

[@3ofSpades]

@@ManGuyPersonTTT The implication that she's been searching for him for 1000 years is very haunting. She can be seen with a Rubik's cube next to a crime scene, so it's safe to assume she found out about cubic, and died failing to find newbie due to Cubic killing her. Cubic took over and the old world has been erased, thus the sillier cyberpunk look of everything. Given the last campaign world released in 2019, it's pretty clear that this map is the last canonical part of the story telling us very clearly what happened. Everyone is dead and the bad guys won. Game over.

One thing that probably wont make a huge difference but ill mention anyway, on an old map many will know called 'temple of elements' there are 5 different gold mosaics depicting the 4 campaign worlds. It shows newbie fighting off the zombies, newbie taming the dragon, newbie defeating the bug and newbie killing cubic but the 5th one is mostly boarded up besides a small hole which shows an arm wearing the time machine gadget.

Tbh, the first couple levels with the zombie apocalypse always felt so disjointed from the rest. Even the stuff in world 1 after the prison felt like it clashed with the story a bit, but especially after he entered the portal, it went into a completely different direction than the one it started.

[@dannydevito4184]

the first couple levels were basically a rip off of the walking dead. The farm (season 2), the cemetery (season 2), city (season 1), hospital (season 1), bridge (actually original and not from twd, instead taking inspiration from the golden gate bridge in san francisco however him chasing after a helicopter in the city is taken from season 1) and the prison (season 3 but actually also taking inspiration from Alcatraz prison in san fran so very creative) are all from twd. Taking inspiration from twd, a grounded zombie apoclypse gave the first half of world 1 a grounded in reality feel and combining it with iconic places in san fransisco (golden gate and alcatraz) made it original enough to stand on it's own. Going after area 51 and finding aliens there, meeting slenderman in a haunted forest and fighting pyramid head in a silent hill version of a haunted school and finding a portal there to another dimension completely jumps the shark and abandons the realism of the first half of world 1. World 2 is also just minecraft lol.

This sort of "cheat" allowed me get to #4 and I was so excited even though it was only for a month. The campaigns also were truly fun to play but unfortunately I haven't caught up to the story on my account. It was fun playing it back then and I'm grateful that this video brought nostalgia to me and others who also reminisce the great story we all played through in PG3D (despite it's flaws).

[@angrywhale3545]

The school was definitely the scariest map for little me. All that's going through my mind back then was just pure WTF, at how a school could possible look this hellish. It felt like the protagonist was in hell and the school was just built there. The upside down classroom and massive room with the dangling chains and bottomless pit stood out to me.

Finally someone who talks about the atmosphere in the first campaign of pixel gun. The music (while not original as in they took it) is very atmospheric. Every level his haunting and always keeps you on the edge and for a block game they did a great job. Also I miss how Pyramid head was the final boss and not some silly spider jocky

[@mettawatkutaninwat5411]

My theory is that they removed Pyramid Head is maybe due to risk of copyright infringement?
