0:45 I'm subscribed to the headcanon that the aliens in the movie weren't actually military but a mining crew who were forced to set down on earth and the entire movie is the US Navy buggering up a first contact situation seven ways from Sunday. It would explain why they came off as underwhelmingly weak for an invasion force, why they often only fired when fired upon, and why their main goal was setting up comms to probably get an SOS out.
Normally these things can be chalked up to the aliens not predicting us advancing in technology as fast as we did. We went from shooting metal and wood arrows at eachother to being able to literally wipe the planet clean with nuclear fire in a couple hundred years. They send a crew out when the planet was in the ice age, maybe even when humans had hit the endangered species list, having a population of around 28 thousand people, and they could have easily killed us and taken the planet. But their ship maybe took too long to arrive, or maybe their telescope that allowed them to see our planet functions like ours, in which they saw the past in which we were less technologically advanced and when they invaded, they hit an enemy that was overwhelmingly prepared for them, to the point that were trying to contact their home planet in a last ditch effort to say that they fucked up and were so unprepared for a actual fighting force.
To be fair they did destroy a large amount of Infastructure but I was also suprised at how neutral the aliens reacted. If it was really an invasion they definitely had the technology to just wipe out every one on the island- they'd have no real use for human lives and even at the end, the mother ship was ready to fuck up the mighty mo' till it assumed the battleship was disengaging- hell you see that like once or twice
Imagine the boardroom meeting for this one... 'So, Battleship video game tie-in.' 'Full price at retail, zero budget. Visuals?' 'Make it look 5 years old at launch.' 'Great. Wanna do some coke?'
I did a playthrough last night and the game actually has pretty damn good graphics for whag it is. Youd be SHOCKED how much having a TV of that era helps with visuals on 360 and ps3. With my 360 on my modern monitor, the games dont even look like they are from the same generation as opposed to playing on my Sylvania 720p. Playin on my 720p tv makes xbox 360 games look like they cane out yesterday, just with lower framerates obviously
This is actually the first fps game I ever played. Unfortunately, I later played bl2 which made my standards skyrocket permanently and I got rid of this game a couple years back. Glad I get to experience the nostalgia of this game again filtered through one of my favorite TH-camrs!
I'm reminded of Treasure Planet getting an actually good strategy game as a tie-in and the Battleship people definitely could have done that. In fact, I'm willing to bet that they in fact originally wanted to do something different that centered around actual, y'know, battleships but some marketing guy was like "mAkE iT mOrE LiKe CoD".
Need to make time to play it, but didn't the Treasure Planet strategy game turn out to be good (if REALLY unknown by most), think it had the guys who made Homeworld working on it.
@@SalinaMoonfall Treasure Planet Battle at Procyon is a little too simple at times (movement would have been better if it wasn't point and click) but still a really solid fun game that captures the style of the movie quite well. Actually simple really isn't a good description, the controls and UI are simple, but there is actually a lot of complexity under the hood that the simple controls and UI get in the way of. For example: you can board and capture enemy ships if you hit them with a grapple line and get close, but AI teamates will continue to shoot with cannons unless you give them the "hold fire" command, but then they wont even fire the grapple lines needed to board the other ship!
@@tartrazine5 Decades before any of this there was also Super Battleship on the SNES and Genesis. It was a weird turn based strategy/real time action hybrid.
The only scene I remember from that movie was when they needed another ship so a bunch of veterans commandeered the museum boat they served on and got it working. Total boomer circlejerk moment but still cool
They just don't only use an 70 year old warship with their veteran crew aboard it. They also fucking drifted it like if the movie suddenly became Initial D and soloed the mothership of the aliens.
To be fair, that's not just museum boat, that's battleship Missouri. Japanese surrendered at that ship in 1945, it was a flagship for about four decades, last used in Gulf war. Not to mention it hauls nine 16 inch cannons, nothing quite like it was built ever since, it's like an STC from WH40K. No wonder filmmakers tried to make all movie goers to cream their pants with this ship on screen.
@@user_imyarek Kind of a plot contrivance that the only people left who knew the proper canticle for the ship's machine spirit just _happened_ to be there that day
I mean, we do keep the Missouri more or less seaworthy and AFAIK it hasn't really been demilitarized... you don't just *find* ammunition for 16 inch cannons or tomahawk launchers though. And it hasn't moved under its own power in like 20 years.
No. This will always be a terrible idea. Battleship the video game, based on the movie, based on the board game, is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
I remember being a teenager and being unbelievably hyped for this Battleship movie, so much that spent like 30 bucks of my birthday money on the blu-ray special edition DVD from best buy. I put it on when I got home and it is one of the few movies I ever fell asleep during lmao movie sucked
This was identical to my experience as an 11B in the 82nd 1st/504th. Infantryman during the morning, than immediately promoted to Captain in the Navy which was a big leap from being a PFC in the Army and after I single handily operated a destroyer and decimated the enemy I was demoted back to my original branch and MOS. The one thing they got wrong was that the Aliens all looked like that guy who plays Shooter McGavin. So yeah.. I mean he had to go.
Me 3 months ago after watching gameplay of a History Channel FPS: "This guy has some pretty good content. Might need to check him out some more in the future." Me today: "YAY, NEW OBOE VIDEO!!!"
Nah, the realest OGs know this is an Ace Combat channel. Back in my day, Oboeshoes had three digit sub counts and said that war is bad, planes are rad.
Games like this with good ideas (calling in artillery strikes from battleships and naval combat) that are drowned out by bad execution (the rest of the game) are endlessly fascinating to me. This little series has been full of neat ideas that were brought down by hopelessly flawed executions of those ideas. It's worth it just to see what brand new ideas for cool game mechanics people come up with even if the game itself is bad. Edit: Also I'm almost 100% sure the cutscene at 5:56 was reused footage from the movie lmao
"When we get home, I want to be able to look my son in the eyes and tell him that yes, we did sink their battleship" "But did we sink their battleship sergeant? War is so complex and morally ambiguous"
I remember when I was 12, I got this for charismas instead of Black Ops because this was rated T and CoD was M rated. I still played the shit outta it tho.
This could have been so cool. Imagine - It starts with a cutscene with 2 people playing the board game, one calls out C3 (or whatever) and the camera pans up to an aerial view of the board, and as the person puts the peg in it zooms in and the plastic ships fade into more realistic graphics and it keeps zooming all the way to the deck of the ship where you get control of your character
That Navy propaganda video at the end just ratcheted the dystopian vibes to 11 "AMERICA'S NAVY: A GLOBAL FORCE FOR GOOD" Idk, I don't really trust people who have to tell me 'we're the good guys!'
Oboe you gotta at least try play Bulletstorm (2011). It's a 7th gen shooter game that lets you grab enemies with your energy leash then shoot them or kick them while they are in slow motion. Gears of War game designer was involved there.
Well, shooting a bunch of working-class refugees, from this planet or some other, seems pretty in line with US foreign policy. I mean, a lot of the time they would send them back to wherever they were fleeing from so they could be shot by the corrupt and/or dictatorial regime there, but is that really so different? o.o
This game actually does have some not-garbage ideas. It reminds me of the Strike Force mission from Black Ops 2 where you could use the overhead RTS view to give commands to units and machines, or you could go into FPS mode and control them directly. I wish there was a game that did more with that type of concept.
'One random marine guy is incharge of the entire fleet' "What are you doing, you're not in the navy." Uh...buddy... marines are a department of the navy...
Twas Homestar back in his days of wearing a duck shirt. The good times were over, then he coughed up his craw object (or "crawbject"), and got his stylish trademark shirt out of it.

5:58 The giant bubble shield stopped them from showing up. Which is weird considering you'd think there was at least one aircraft carrier already inside the bubble shield because it's a default unit in the board game but whatever.
idk about anyone else but I actually really liked the game Brink- and it's crazy you just happen to use that as an example, I had been trying to remember the name of that game for so long. soooo long. it was the first ever game I had on Xbox 360. I could only remember the R with the circle around it for resistance I think. this just made my day z
these kind of movies choose aliens that are designed to be engaged by a conventional US branch lol - either humanoids using guns - or alien ships that operate on the water like a ship would
the other day i went to another city for work, i went to a game store and you would not believe me when i saw a brand new sealed copy of Brink, *SEALED*
