There is a new Timesplitters game in the making. It's called Timesplitters rewind. It's a small indie team but it's slowly coming together. th-cam.com/video/HkltJm1lWMc/w-d-xo.html
If that's correct, then they did an impressive job rebuilding the game! I really enjoyed it years ago, I cannot play it anymore though, the audio is bugged or the game doesn't start at all!
I thought that was this game. Yeah they had a lot more originally, you can find screenshots of different time periods. They basically had to make a full length game out of whatever assets could be salvaged, hence the limited number of time periods.
Oh god... this is so sad. Really it breaks my heart to think you could loose years of work so dramatically, and then have to suffer being bashed by the critiques knowing you had something much better on the works. damn.
I really want a game like this made again, but expanded upon with some creativity. I want to go back to the Middle Ages and shoot knights with laser guns. I would like to travel back to Ancient Greece and use mounted machine guns on a Trireme. I think it would be hilarious to go to the time of the Wright brothers testing their first airplane and zip past it on a jet pack. There’s so much that can be done with this fantastic premise, so it’s incredibly disappointing that the game is mostly focused on WW1 and the American civil war.
Screw you both now I want such a game to exist xD I can already imagine a soldier running at me with a sword screaming and I would blast him 5 meters away with a laser gun xD
Gio Corvino ha! And then the main character drives around in a sports car outfitted with guns and rockets and mows down pikemen and archers as he yells “say hello to the 21st century!”
@Gio Corvino dude I would just go back in time when my brother was a kid and stop him from eating the winning lottery ticket we once had hahahahaha though I like the way you think
"You dont solve the main conflict of a story by introducing a bigger conflict and saying this is the excuse for our behavior alright game over" Looking at you Halo 5
Holy shit someone else played this game apart from me? I thought I was the only one. I had terrible amounts of fun mowing down civil war soldiers with that smart gun, I especially loved the part where you start lining up with the enemy and you start the good old fashioned black-powder musket shootout but you have the option to just whip out the machine gun and gun them down. I also kinda thought the graphics looked fine back in the day, sure not Crysis level but it got the job done. And I loved the mechanic where there were these glowing guys you shouldn't have killed because they were important in history. This game got shat on way too hard by reviewers, it wasn't as nearly as bad as they made it out to be, I agree. I don't remember the story at all but I wish they made a sequel.
I'm telling you, You should do a video on Turning Point Fall of Liberty. It's pretty much one construction boi repelling a German Invasion of the USA in an alternative timeline
@@isntezbncheezy7326 Campaign is short even for its time and it's from the time period where aiming was almost right but not there. I also know the PC has technical issues. I do love the idea of the game and there are some awesome scenes.
Am I the only one that noticed how well the game shows the way we used to do war at the time of the US Civil War? So many npc on screen doing their things!
Would be hilarious a game about time-travelling with futuristic weapons is more realistic on it's depiction of Civil war warfare than the History Channel's game. Yeah I know HC is as historically accuarate as... well, as a History Channel's show, but still....
Forgotten, sure but definitely not obscure. This game had a pretty large marketing. A lot of major outlets were talking about it and/or advertising it before it came out.
I own an 1860 Army and the reload animation from the opening gameplay made me want to pull my hair out and write the developers a strongly worded essay on how guns work.
Fun fact 8 monkey labs was a small group of individuals based out of my homestate of Iowa. I have a friend who went to full sail university for college and heard about the group when he moved back. Apparently what the guys at 8 monkey labs would do is outsource a lot of the art/animations to new comers to the industry for little/no pay, and then implement the work into the game. Shortly after the game released and didn't do well financially the group disbanded. I actually have this game due to it being made in Iowa and finding it at a best buy for $5 a little while after release. Sadly due to programming if you have a newer rig with a AMD card the game will not run due to nvidia tech the game runs on. Edit: I guess they had one other game they developed according to this www.giantbomb.com/8monkey-labs/3010-6995/
Im so glad i found this video. I used to play this game as a kid and didn’t know the name and ended up clicking on this video and a huge wave of nostalgia just hit me.
I remember seeing this on shelves. I like the idea, imagine going from Wounded Knee to the Khe Sahn Siege, then rewind to the Titanic, jump forward to Baghdad during the Gulf War and you have to dodge bombs from the NightHawks. The possibilities are endless, jumping to WWIII then the Seven Day War. Cripes I want to make that game now
8monkeylabs actually became the creators of Marmoset Toolbag which is now an industry-standard program for rendering out textures and creating high fidelity renders of assets.
This is definitely one of my favorite games mainly because of how many allies, and enemies that it can have on screen at one time, and because I always like history stuff also I actually had a great great great grandfather that was part of Cobbs legion in the Cavalry at the Battle Of Antietam on the Confederate side of the civil war I believe he was over near the church somewhere during the battle
Playing the civil war missions along with the first mission/last mission was the most enjoyable, atleast to me. Never before I could fire in a line of yankees or southerners or rip through a roman shield war. Especially loved that Antietam level. Only wished there was more roman time missions, the ww1's was alright, but mostly I play this from time to time for the civil war parts. :P
This game in fairness is one of those Eastern European games made on a shoestring with a great idea. Like a lot of 1C's ideas (as 1C provided a lot of the funding) they have great ideas but very little money. But still I wish this game had gotten a sequel. Particularly since the Battles of Antietam and Tannenberg were very interesting in general. The characters to the extent they were there were also fun. Dexter's comments about Rennenkampf and Samsonov were hilarious for those of us who know about the Battle of Tannenberg and the game is even self-aware enough to have you always spend one mission playing the other side because your intervention has thrown a part of history out of whack.
Man I remember my friend running to my house bringing a pirated version of this game cuz I was the one with a pc lol and we would play the shit out of it for hours and keep replaying it ahh good times to bad it never got a sequel
So, I'm not sure if anyone's brought it up, but 8Monkey Labs is the former makers of the Marmoset Toolbag, and Darkest of Days is basically the tech demo for the engine at the core of that(the Marmoset Engine) that's showing of it's capabilities outside being a showcase render. It's Marmoset itself is still going strong today, and if you follow 3D artists, would've probably seen it in a thousand million artstation renders, it's basically a standardized tool at this point. But yeah, they liquidated the Game Development side of the studio in 2010 to work on just Toolbag.
I think the reason why it ended on a massive clifhanger is this was one of this studio's first games and they made it as an example to show that they can make good games. Think batman arkham asylum when rockysteady originally wanted a game featuring all of gotham.
Liking your channel and hearing about games I have never heard of before. One thing, The Indians used riffles at little Big Horn. In fact some of their riffles were better than what the 7th Calvary had, so the opening of this game made me laugh. Keep up the good work.
9:43 The reason why the price is this high afaik is because the devs and I think the publishers too do not exist anymore. They either failed financially or became something else.
I found a PC DVD copy of this for $8 on eBay so I definitely think this is a decent budget title. Definitely needs a sequel to resolve that cliff hanger and explore other times and places. Like more of the Roman Empire or maybe visit the distant future a few times or fight dinosaurs with future weapons or maybe even have a jump-the-shark moment like being forced to take Lee-Harvey Oswald's place and kill JFK because you discover he lost his nerve but you still have to preserve the timeline. Also a new main character from a new time period would be cool who can play off of the main characters from the first game.
4:20 oh god. I just realized. If you lower your FOV you don't "fix" the third arm issue. It's still there, you just don't see it. You developed a third arm on your time-travelling shenanigans. It does lend a hand to the game's inmersion. I will show myself the way out.
Totally agree with you. This game looks so promising, but playing the same two conflicts over and over was kinda bored sometimes (except the levels with modern weaponry, those were pretty fun tbh).
I truly believe the developers had a gem on their hands. The voice acting/characters in this was actually fantastic, I enjoyed the civil war scenario where you had to march through the corn field into battle, agent Dexter was badass, the graphics were semi good for its time, and the story needs a sequel. BUT... This game simply wasn’t really handled very well. This was barely liked by audiences, it flopped heavily with sales, and the game’s mechanics doesn’t age well. It’s just so hard to put into words on what would make this game better. But... I really like this game. I also think this concept would’ve made a pretty cool TV show adaptation. But at the same time it’s one of those ideas that sounds pretty damn cool on paper. Then it was executed correctly... But was highly mishandled in the long run.
I remember downloading this games demo as a kid and playing it over and over again because I didn't have any money to buy any other games. It was very strange, I remember the weapons being weeks and outside of the normal weapons I was used to in videogames at the time and thinking that was the coolest thing ever. I also remember not being able to hit anything at all and trying to get every single reload animation
I started playing without knowing anything about the time travel element. So when that soldier wearing power armor stepped through a time bubble, I absolutely lost my shit
I had this game on the 360 and aside from some of the things that he mentioned like the fov and the motion blur I never had any problems with it I actually genuinely enjoyed it but it was one of those games that if you don't play it you forget about it and just come across this video brought back so many good memories of this game. I understand where he's coming from but at the same time being a 13 to 15 year old and playing this it was absolutely fantastic. P.S. never had a crash while on the 360 ( that I can remember)
Does anyone remember the 360 shooter game where your squad is sent somewhere and get ambushed by demon dudes and you die, but are able to control your squad as a ghost. One squadie has the ghost of a demon snake in his arm that is his special attack, another squadie can slow time and the last one i can remember having an ability is a bald guy that can teleport, oh and all the enemies are demons
this game actually ran fairly well on mac. That's the system I played through the whole game on. The lag was near unbearable during certain civil war segments though.
Mark from CGR put it best many years ago when he said something along the lines that this is a game that's destined to be rediscovered like 20 years from now and become a cult classic.
I remember there being this other Civil war game or just Early Modern (Line battle) warfare game with these big open battles and calvary going around all the time, i saw it during the early gaming phase of youtube, Replies weren't even implemented yet
I'm always down with that game getting more attention. It won GOTY back in the day and yet its forgotten now. A real shame, Cate was also a hell of a character. It's the perfect franchise to reboot, we dont get a lot of spy games.
On latest update it allows you to pick any mission and spawn with any weapon. After you beat the game of course but nothing beats sending 20 missiles into a cornfield full of confederates lol
also remember that at the time this came out, there were i think zero other fps games which were set in the civil war. this game interested me because i liked the idea of experiencing what it would be like to fight as they did at say the battle of Antietam. (and being able to mow all the rebs down with a machine gun was a nice bonus hah). it kinda proved that a fps set in that era could actually work
I go to look this game up on steam and it says "At the request of the publisher, Drakest Of Days is no longer available for sale on steam." Which sucks I wanted to try it. I remember when this came out, I just never bought it.
Jarek is the best gaming TH-cam channel the vids are very well done especially the breakdowns and reviews I also have to say I enjoy the streams a lot thanks for making content the past few years
I somewhat remember seeing some people hating on this game just because you could use futuristic weapons during these time periods... As if they weren't even aware this game was about time travel to begin with.
I have an nvidia card and have always been on the nvidia side, why would I know the game has problems with amd? This isn't a well known game so that certainly is not common knowledge.
No? I played on an RX280 up to a Vega 64 and it works just fine. The physx however, doesn't. So as long as you don't have physx enabled, it's fine whatever card you have
I've always imagined a scenario like this and I'm glad it exists. Too bad alot of people think these kinds of ideas are stupid because they think it wouldnt be fun at all.
I want a game where you are a soldier from the future sent back to fight on battlefields of the past but with realistic difficulty. I'd be interesting to pit you against a whole army and expect you to use your superior technology to survive.

8monkey Labs, are now Marmoset LLC, a separate business no longer retaining any ownership of 8monkey's games.
If I recall correctly, the developer studio flooded, they lost everything, and they rebuilt the game in a matter of weeks before release.
If that's correct, then they did an impressive job rebuilding the game!
I really enjoyed it years ago, I cannot play it anymore though, the audio is bugged or the game doesn't start at all!
Man what a shame for them someone should make a time machine and go back in time to warn them

Mark from CGR put it best many years ago when he said something along the lines that this is a game that's destined to be rediscovered like 20 years from now and become a cult classic.
As I child I always saw this in wal mart but never knew what it was till today.
Thank you for bringing back memories of this.
Remember playing it 10 years ago and having a blast
Well the civil war didn't have modern guns but they had the Gatlin gun.
the first few seconds sold me.
I remember there being this other Civil war game or just Early Modern (Line battle) warfare game with these big open battles and calvary going around all the time, i saw it during the early gaming phase of youtube, Replies weren't even implemented yet
*FOV is Love,*
*FOV is Life*
I started this game a few years ago. Have not finished it. Glad to see some coverage of this game.
Here’s one for ya:
Clive Barker’s Jericho
Damn, that game was disturbing as f*ck, and the ending was a massive cliffhanger.
Jarek, I hope you checkout/review No one Lives Forever 1&2. Those were bad ass with the 1960s look, plus Cate Archer is hot
I'm always down with that game getting more attention. It won GOTY back in the day and yet its forgotten now. A real shame, Cate was also a hell of a character. It's the perfect franchise to reboot, we dont get a lot of spy games.
@@LadyTylerBioRodriguez GoG hinted at a re-release a while back.
@@Mutant1988 I'm excited.
actually he gaming studio dont rly exist any more . but form what i saw they make rendering software now
On latest update it allows you to pick any mission and spawn with any weapon. After you beat the game of course but nothing beats sending 20 missiles into a cornfield full of confederates lol
I cant find it on steam
I have watched this video so many times because this game looks so fun and I just like watching your videos
also remember that at the time this came out, there were i think zero other fps games which were set in the civil war. this game interested me because i liked the idea of experiencing what it would be like to fight as they did at say the battle of Antietam. (and being able to mow all the rebs down with a machine gun was a nice bonus hah). it kinda proved that a fps set in that era could actually work
And here I thought I was the only person who ever played this game.
Nice to see someone else talking about it.
Taky taky
The animation of this game looks like those steam early access game in their alpha stage......
When old vs new times fight each other
game is not working on AMD wit h win 10 :(
I go to look this game up on steam and it says "At the request of the publisher, Drakest Of Days is no longer available for sale on steam." Which sucks I wanted to try it. I remember when this came out, I just never bought it.
Typing this on my phone before watching, but damn this game had such potential! So much fun! I wish it had a sequel
You should try (black site area 51) not related to the area 51 game you played I had great fun with it back when the Xbox 360 came out!
snowassassian yasss!!!!!
I always enjoy these fps analyses, keep it up :)
The fact that you like TimeSplitters made me subscribe haha. Love the video keep up the great work!!
Jarek is the best gaming TH-cam channel the vids are very well done especially the breakdowns and reviews I also have to say I enjoy the streams a lot thanks for making content the past few years
I somewhat remember seeing some people hating on this game just because you could use futuristic weapons during these time periods... As if they weren't even aware this game was about time travel to begin with.
I want a sequel for this.
This game doesn't work if you have an AMD graphics card for some reason
Yeah Jarek should of probably mentioned that, it's common knowledge at this point
@@SpiritOvSkyyyy Not so common for an obscure game like this xd
I have an nvidia card and have always been on the nvidia side, why would I know the game has problems with amd? This isn't a well known game so that certainly is not common knowledge.
No? I played on an RX280 up to a Vega 64 and it works just fine. The physx however, doesn't. So as long as you don't have physx enabled, it's fine whatever card you have
@@poodlemeister22314 R9 280*
Plus it didnt work on my R9 270 nor on my new RX 590
I remember playing this a lot as a kid
I've always imagined a scenario like this and I'm glad it exists. Too bad alot of people think these kinds of ideas are stupid because they think it wouldnt be fun at all.
Have you ever played the saboteur? Made by the same company that did the mercenary series? I’d highly recommend it
I want a game where you are a soldier from the future sent back to fight on battlefields of the past but with realistic difficulty. I'd be interesting to pit you against a whole army and expect you to use your superior technology to survive.
I remember watching a trailer about this game wayyy back when Machinima was still a thing.I thought it didn't come out at all..
How weird is it that I recently remembered this game only to have a recent video on it?
