If memory serves me right I think the Xbox version of "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" is playable on Xbox One. Hopefully Microsoft will be able to make most OG Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games work on Xbox Series X. That's coming from someone who owns an PS4 with there OG Xbox and games in a cardboard box collecting dust bunnies. *Update* Never mind I just checked Xbox.com and the game isn't on the backwards compatible list.
@RegBeta, I don't fully recommend playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein Xbox on Xbox 360 either. It tends to drop the frame rate a lot of times. Best to play it on the original Xbox console.
@@_trashPANDA I second Leo's comment, the framerate is actually really stable on actual Xbox hardware, only stuttering slightly during coop or multiplayer. Combine that stable framerate with widescreen support, new weapons and enemies, levels more accurate to the PC version, intact multiplayer, unlockable Wolfenstein 3D, and the amazing Xbox controller and you can see that the Xbox version is clearly superior to the PS2 version.
One thing I loved about _Tides of War_ is that once you beat the game, you could play all six episodes of _Wolfenstein 3D_ from the main menu. I only ever had the shareware of Wolf 3D as a kid, so when I bought _Tides of War_ for my Xbox way back when and discovered that I basically had a whole second game, that was a really nice surprise.
That’s music to my ears, as it was the first online multiplayer game I had truly sunk a lot of time into on PC, shoutout to my nerdy uncle who gifted my family a PC built to play, with the game pre-installed
Played the online version enemy territory literally few days back for nostalgia had a great experience and was very surprised too see so many servers so alive
RTCW on xbox was the first version of the game I ever played. Back in summer of 2004, my cousin and I rented it from Blockbuster and became addicted to it fast. Eventually we discovered the co op mode which made it even better
man that crypt level always spooked me as a kid, but what a fucking game - I haven't played it for so long but I have fond memories of this one (well, the PC one anyway) also the new intro beep is not as good as the classic gmanlives intro :(
Played this on PC, spent a LOT of time on Wolf: ET too. Absolutely love it. Bought Operation Resurrection on PS2 and noticed framerate issues and body thud sounds happening before the death animations were done. Never played the Xbox version, thanks for showing all the new enemies. I'm only bummed that you didn't cover Xbox's exclusive co-op mode. That holds my curiosity more than anything. Grateful for every RTCW fan.
Yep. Despite what the video says, the Xbox version is clearly better than the PS2 version, due to the co-op mode and XBL multiplayer, plus the unlockable version of Wolf 3D. The PS2 version is single player only unfortunately.
Me: Working on Saturday sucks, I'm tired. Gmanlives: You remember the time when shooters didn't have container levels and instead featured gameplay? Me: I'm here!!! Tell me more!!!!
This was one of my favorite games of all time! I put so much time into this game on PC and consoles but where my time really went to was the PC multiplayer at the time to me nothing could hold a candle to it. I may have to play this game again after seeing your video.
I haven't had much luck with finding a proper server and people. Think last time I only found 3 servers that were populated, which were infested with bots which wasn't a fun time. It's such a shame. I played it comp on the old Clanbase for 2ish years. Would give everything to have those times back again
love the xbox version of the game, popped it in not too long ago; forgot about the shotgun too! love those little bonuses that used to go into later ports...
I played this on PC when I was 12 years old. God, it was awesome, so many fond memories. I remember it was pretty difficult even with the mouse and keyboard.
i been watching gmans videos recently for the past 2 days not once he ever asked to subscribe or like the vid. Thats how you get subs i love this guys videos. His videos are informative and its funny with good adult humor which he does not hold back. Keep up the work gman you got a new sub from me . Ps love the humor the waking up with a bj to funny man .
Nearly 20 years on, and this is still my favorite FPS game of all time. Not so much for the story, but for the actual game play itself. Also had the best multiplayer as well.
Love this game. My first real online addiction on XBOX LIVE. It was amazing experience, as I never had a PC to experience online play before. RTCW will always have a place on my all time favorites.
The PS2 version of the game is the first I’ve played of RTCW, and legitimately the first ever video game I played when I was 4yrs old. Had an absolute blast with that title. Got the PC version of it back in 2019 and I was pretty surprised how different it was. Great video highlighting the differences!
My brother and I had a system. Go to EB games, purchase a game, beat it, exchange it for another game saying it didn't work, beat that game, rinse and repeat. This ended with RTCW, that game was here to stay
Return will always have a place in my heart. It was the first game I played Xbox Live with. Anyone else remember the demo? Wolfenstein and Rainbow 6 multiplayer demos.
It sounds a lot like James Horner's Aliens score because it is! Listen to the track "Futile Escape" and the beginning of that musical cue is used in this game's ps2 menu. That's nuts, I wonder if/how they got the rights to that song.
Now if Nightdive can make a remaster of RTCW and include the console-exclusive mission and the extra content from both console ports, and it would be the definitive edition.
Also the extremely sarcastic narrator in the comedic version of Bard's Tale (which you can pick up on most mobile devices and is actually worth playing on them!), hilarious game. He also acted in Twin Peaks, he was the mayor's brother who kept marrying younger women and died by snu-snu.
@@Enclavefakesoldier totally, still highly playable, so goddamn funny, and since it's of age it runs great on mobile devices like tablets, fairly easy control scheme also, and not very difficult game, great for commuting.
Just one thing i’d like to correct. The first boss battle in RTCW is against Olaric, not Helga. Helga was killed by either Olaric or some trap. You can find her remains near the altar.
Stop being a gatekeeper. "Back in the days" yeah that was a long time ago, friend. Games are ported to consoles first now because their graphics settings are set. So it's easier to just put it on console first.
honestly, what I remember liking most about the console ports were the new weapon sounds for firing and reloading. Something about them just sounded... better to me.
I played the xbox version first years ago when I played this game, and loved the Egyptian levels. I was actually taken back a bit when I found out that these missions weren't part of the core game on PC, it actually seemed really odd to me to start the game straight away at castle Wolfenstein without all the build up from the prologue. I really wish somebody could port these missions over to the pc version. To me, it almost became the 'true' version of the game.
You may have inadvertently solved a mystery for me, a mystery that isn't even mentioned in the video. Having played both versions when they first emerged the PS2 version seemed INSANELY more punishing on higher difficulty settings, to the point that you really couldn't afford to let the nazis get a shot off in any situation it could be avoided (be that by stealth or endless save/load/reload and luck/speed.) It seems likely that the lack of bullet spread you DO mention was the reason why though, so thanks for setting my mind at ease all these years later 🤣
OMG THIS IS CHILDHOOD MY FRIEND HAD THIS ON HIS OG XBOX WE PLAYED COOP EVERYTIME FROM THE START BECAUSE WE DIDINT KNOW HOW TO SAVE THE GAME. Andd we always got stuck at one mission in tombs fighting undead and spoky monsters. We always reached the lastt part where you fight hordes of skeleton and the ground comes to crashing and you fall down to a deep pit. In that dark pit theres a door that leads you outside those caves and into a big castle mansion but for some reason that door never opened up in coop mode. Or in singleplayer mode. We just didint know what to no button worked and so got stuck there forever. Then I played on PC and that door actually opens and you fight a big boss later on.
You didn’t even mention one of the best things in the original Xbox port: co-op campaign. It even changed some of the cutscenes to fit agent one’s coop presence.
Not gonna lie, as someone who's played the original PC campaign a dozen of times I feel like this prologue episode seems to add a charm to the whole game, it's not Opposing Force level of a good separated story point but imo it holds up, not to mention BJ talks before Wolfenstein from 2009, so that's a another plus from me (judge me all you want, I like me some character development that is not just grunts of pain).
Never thought I’d ever hear .mp3 clips from Tourettes Guy in a Gman video. Great job! 🤣 (Edit): Just watched your first couple of videos. They’re Tourettes Guy soundmods for the common infected in L4D! AWESOME SHIEEET!
Just bought this game two days ago on PC, insert the RealRTCW mod and im having a blast for a old FPS game that cost 5 bucks! Honestly, i perfer this over the later titles we got now, although The New Order and Old Blood were amazing
As slick as they are, I just haven't been able to get on with the modern Wolfenstein games. THIS, however... I couldn't sing it's praises highly enough and I'd absolutely kill for a remake. Always thought the concept would make a great movie too. Gman, your commentary is interesting and frequently hilarious - you have a new subscriber!
Yeah i loved the PS2 version of the game for the stealth components in Egypt and exploring the tombs. Plus Tony Jay was excellent. I miss him as Megabyte and Chairface Chippendale.
Haven't played it myself but I can speak on behalf of Halo doing that. On old xbox it runs mostly smooth but 360 it gets nearly unplayable with how much slowdown there is, so very likely that OG xbox runs it fine
Kinda annoying whenever Gman mentions on some reviews like "this is the best shooter ever made". I've lost count how many times he said that on a small number of different games.
The thing you noticed about the PS-port song, YEAH. That's James Horner's "Futile Escape" for both the menu and the trailer. It's the SAME song, just at a part of the song not always easily associated with the movie Aliens because one part occurred when things were relatively calm and the other, well, lots of background noise during the movie.
I was going to write a comment, making fun of you for calling it a snooper rifle. And then I realized holy crap. That’s actually what it’s called!! Great video as always!!
3:16 that IS Horner's Aliens soundtrack Unrelated fact : towards the end of that album, there's an amazing, rousing, heroic track that didn't actually find a spot in the film... ...but d i d end up accompanying the scene at the end of Die Hard, when Family Matters puts several slugs through Bon Jovi's hairdresser before he can let loose from his (you let him keep his gun ?!) Steyr.
I am glad i saw this video! I never knew about either of these. Now to look for copies on the internet! Really hoping to find a physical copy of the PS2 release. With PCSX2 i can just pop the disc in my computer and instantly start playing with a keyboard an mouse along with upscaling the game.
Great vid about one of my fav childhood game. This reminds me. Would you do a playlist about those modern old school FPS' you made videos about? Please Sonny Jim.
If any modder can complete the mission of combining the new mechanics of both of these versions into a mod for the original rtcw on pc, i'll give him a cookie
Gman: "Snooper rifle."
Me: "Snooper rifle?."
Game: "S N O O P E R R I F L E"
I experienced the exact same sequence of snooper.
Actually made me laugh

10:25 that first boss character isn’t Helga it’s Olaric. You see Helga’s dead body on the ground before you fight him.
True, and yet, the game ticks the objective "Eliminate Helga von Bulow" only after you defeated Olaric.
No wonder why she made an appearance in The Old Blood,though she changed her last name.
