Worst Games Ever - Without Warning

This is an ironic title because, frankly, we'd prefer to be given as much warning as possible before having to play this terrible game. We hope you enjoy this unpleasant surprise as much as we didn't.
Thank you to Andrej for sending us this game!

As one of the primary environment artists who worked on Without Warning for its entire development I would just like to apologise to everyone. We used to call it ‘Without Gameplay’ or ‘Without Shame’. Sorry.

[@BL1TZEN]

We started the company ‘CiRCLE Studio’ when half of us left CORE DESIGN IN 2003 off the back of Tomb Raider going tits up and Crystal Dynamix stealing it. I even did the CiRCLE logo for us and got my love of small letter ‘i’s’ in the title. Probably my greatest achievement at the company.

Bro being completely honest I played this as a kid and loved it 😂, didn’t really see it as bad then.

[@jordanwilson4678]

The PS2 did have pressure sensitive buttons. MGS3 with the circle button for CQC was probably the most famous example. Ace combat used R1 and L1 pressures for the speed and air brake.

[@thisguy4505]

Mad Maestro's entire gameplay was centered on pressing buttons with the correct pressure to control the volume of the orchestra.

[@GhostNappa2k10]

It was so jarring playing the 360 HD version of MGS3 as it had no pressure sensitive buttons. Had to throw away all my muscle memory for that.

[@doomiag]

@@GhostNappa2k10 I got that version to replay the games and haven't gotten to it. I'm glad someone pointed that out lol

[@Gamesta100]

MGS2 also had the gun aiming that this game has

[@MRMIdAS2k]

Yep. Every button except start and select was analogue IIRC.

An its a worst game ever. Classic

[@dv8754]

PS2 absolutely had pressure sensitivity, and it’s the feature I was hoping they’d be adding back for the PS5. Not a ton of games used them, it more than you’d think did!

[@SHKDWN79]

San Andreas use it for the gas pedal in cars 🚗

[@oleo626]

MGS2 and 3 both used pressure sensitive buttons as well, and I'm pretty sure Gran Turismo 3 and 4 did too

[@DR3ADER1]

I hate pressure sensitivity with a passion. It's why I always turn it off. The issue is that there's absolutely no reason why you need analogue or motion controls in any game. And developers who force it in their games are only making the game design worse and more redundant.

[@thegamingprozone1941]

@@DR3ADER1 you can blame the Wii for motion controls.

[@AbsoluteTravisT]

Something incredibly odd to notice was at 25:37, you can actually see a blink-and-you-miss-it blood mist of the protagonist getting hit by the enemy fire, which makes for the exceptionally rare instance of getting shot in a cutscene and it not meaning a story beat which impairs you. That guy just took a bullet and shrugged it off.

[@mikesanders8621]

Even weirder, at 30:20 ish, the same cutscene plays, but no blood. Which means that cutscene isn't a cutscene.

[@ryanhkimmel]

You guys have such great onscreen chemistry it always puts a smile on my face

[@hairycoo56]

Pretty sure the Dualshock 2 DID have analogue buttons as well as R1 and R2 etc

[@michaelfranke8622]

Yeah they did. At least the first ones I’m not sure if they changed that but it had analog face buttons. I don’t think many games used it though

[@RenegadePandaZ]

It did, but it was rarely used. MGS2 is the only game I can think of off the top of my head. Oh...and I guess this game too.

[@Blahsheep]

It also had it for the x button which was very strange. Didn't even know about that until I played a certain racing game that if you pressed it slightly it would slightly accelerate.

[@thisguy4505]

PS2 pressure sensitivity was on all face buttons and shoulder buttons. Example: Feathering throttle/brake in Gran Turismo. Niche game Mad Maestro was entirely centered on pressing buttons with the correct pressure.

[@Lost-Lilim]

Think about the numbers for a moment. 52 terrorists as of the second level. Are we to believe that Corbec or whoever had multiple large passenger busses filled with foreign attackers shipped to the chemical plant?

[@Justforvisit]

[@gentlesirpancakebottoms6692]

To be fair this looks like normal decent graphics for a PS2 game from 2005. It looks a bit generic and bland, lacking any interesting style or colour palette making it stand out. But juding by the graphics alone this looks fine. Unfortunatley for this game, gameplay and story is also important. ...and yes. I guess someone have already commented on this, but PS2 did have preassure sensitive buttons. MGS2 makes use of it.

[@internetnobody6754]

9:24 The PS2 controller had analog triggers and shoulders as well as analog face buttons, you could do the same thing in MGS2 and 3 by lightly pressing the square button to aim before shooting and lightly let go to put your gun away instead of shooting

I played this game a year and a half ago. I stopped playing half way through. Not a bad game but not amazing neither

[@Boogie_the_cat]

What I heard was the the cameraman is required to expose himself to enemies. What button is that? I'd think that in a firefight, it'd be hard to unzip your pants, so I'm assuming that (like ZZ Top) you have a Velcro Fly. I'd still be easier to just not wear clothes on the mission, just kinda letting it all hang out. Maybe there is even a "put em on the glass" achievement.

[@Elpezidente]

Thank you for all the great content, you're all the best!

[@danedoering]

Just in case Ben and Peter didn't read this fact in other comments, the PS2 did indeed had pressure sensitive buttons. Not only did Metal Gear Solid games utilize this feature of the controller, but Psi-Ops did as well. Of course this feature must be difficult, if not impossible, to implement with the emulator they're using.

[@Justforvisit]

And "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance" used them as well, for example when you use a bow, slight press for aiming, strong press for shooting the arrow.

[@maryyram5039]

[@Aupsic-hh5sy]

This game had some interesting thematic going on, about playing the same story with different perspectives and gameplays, sadly it was made with laziness. Also, as for the "game master" facts, you guys should add a section were you mention what other games were published at the same year, for comparison on how shitty and lazy the game was, just a suggestion.

[@DR3ADER1]

That's because Circle Studio was being lazy. When they joined Jeremy Heath-Smith after he was fired from Eidos, they lacked the ability, publisher connections and most importantly, the budgets to make the games they wanted to make as they used to when they were at Core Design(didn't help that their PSP remake of Tomb Raider, that was going to feature parkour elements as demonstrated in their freerunning game, and a Chuck Rock remake on the same system were BOTH CANCELLED). This was coupled with the fact that they gave up on developing Fighting Force 3 when Heath-Smith was kicked out of the Wimbledon, London-based publisher when they were working at Core.
