One of those pure fun childhood games, it's definitively rough sometimes but that really doesn't matter with a game about shooting missiles to explode other cars while jumping from buildings.
Totally forgot this game had a sequel, I remember playing the first game religiously with my best friend If it ever gets re-released, I will buy it 1000%
This was one of my childhood favorites, definitely had its flaws and it was real difficult to play for my 8 year old brain back then but so many good memories from playing arcade mode split screen with my dad and other buddies. Unfortunately my PS3 YLOD'd a few years ago and i havent been able to play the game for a long time now. Thanks for the nostalgia!
RIP Vehicular combat genre. Oh how I await thee return. I played the First Full Auto. It was a terrific next-gen experience. SO MANY PARTICLE EFFECTS!~ And so many frame drops XD It was awesome though. Very fun time.
Awesome review and an accurate one at that. It's a real shame that the Full Auto series is so underrated since most people don't really talk about it much nor were they even aware of the first game's existence; including the sequel as well. I'm afraid that the Full Auto series game has been overshadowed by many other games of similar categories and titles too. I used to play the first one when I was in the third and fourth grade borrowing my cousin's Xbox 360 and those were definitely good times. To be honest, I never knew of Full Auto 2's existence at all and I feel sorta guilty about it because I never knew or thought that a sequel would be made at the time, but it reminds me of Burnout, Flatout, Wreckfest, and even the Shockwave games Burning Rubber 3, 4, and 5.
Gaming Pastime I would love to have you added to my friends list the amount of diferent games you play must be amazing. Full Auto was fun, a shame the game never got a third instalment. Great video as always !
Other good thing is the game songs.... When u defeat a enemy the music changes.... When boosting, when first place and other ones things change the music
Atempt#1: Heyo, Gaming, could i ask you to try out Hard truck apocalypse ? its an old slavjank vehicular combat rpg game that not a lot of ppl know, i have a lot of fond childhood memories playing that game
They definitely re-used courses from the first game. Saw several familiar locations in this video. Before Pseudo Interactive closed they were working on a Carmageddon-inspired game called Crude Awakening, but it was cancelled early in development. Would have been interesting to see how that one could have turned out. Full Auto with pedestrians? Yes please!
I miss the days when new games were exciting and unbelievable, developers were like wizards doing amazing things on limited hardware. Now computing is exponentially more powerful and basically unlimited, and games are lazier and more boring than ever, smh. But hey maybe if we get enough attention, some wizards could get the online working again? The reason they made the 2 games only for a single system is probably budget constraints.
An online restoration is actually in the works, there is a small community formed for Full Auto currently bringing it back along with modding capabilities. As for the exclusivity, that was just Sega taking deals
I'd suggest giving Ridge Racer Unbounded a go. Just forget that it had the Ridge Racer brand (it's made by Bugbear). *It's like Burnout crossed with Split/Second with an emphasis on drifting* - very underrated and extremely fun. Last gen lacked good arcade racing games so I went back and gave Unbounded a go, and was kind of annoyed that Ridge Racer fans made everyone think that it's bad.
They didn’t make people think “it was bad”. They simply made them think it was a bad Ridge Racer game, which it was. The issue was either slapping the license to the game, having a Western dev work on RR, or copying trends of the time for a RR game. Unbounded was about chaos. Ridge Racer is about control and precision. Had Bugbear worked on Burnout sequel Unbounded would have been a hit. With that said, in terms of design for a Ridge Racer game, they did something that would have been incredible for it: the track creator. Can you imagine a true RR game with a track creator? Innounded was a good, fun game. Just not a good Ridge Racer game.
Some of the composed OST does go hard during certain events, not gonna lie. Anyway, like the guy below said, it's on TH-cam and if that's not enough, there's also a MEGA file link containing ALL the music + variations on one of the OST vids.
picked this one up mostly on this videos recommendation, and because i remember seeing pre release trailers for the first game back in the day and always wanting to check it out but somehow never getting a chance to. Its a pretty game from the little of it i've played so far, but the one thing you absolutely have to do if you are going to play on a real ps3 (as opposed to emulation) is to disable 1080i/1080p video output on the systems display menu, otherwise the games performance will be completely unplayable (im talking what feels like 15-20fps) once i did that i noticed the game runs at a mostly smooth 30fps (at 720p, presumably 480p would run even better but i didn't want to take such a severe hit to video quality) might want to pin this comment so people are aware of this going into it
I would like to try these games sometime. It is weird that the first game was exclusive to the 360, while this one is exclusive to PlayStation systems, but believe it or not it's not the first time a game was exclusive to Xbox and the sequel is exclusive to PlayStation. I can't remember the name of it, but there's an Action RPG game that came out only on the original Xbox, but the sequel came out only on PS2.
If I recall correctly (its been i while since i saw gamer alex's retrospective on full auto) The reason why 2 didnt come to xbox 360 and 2 is more and better optimized is all because of deadlines and time constrains. Even more, all additions of battlelines (2) was ment to be in full auto one. again, im going off of memory here so i might be lying.
I picked up the second game recently thanks to your video on the first game. I played 2 years ago but couldn't get Into it. Hopefully as a adult I can lol
It is weird that Full Auto 2 didn't come to 360. I remember seeing early previews of 1 that stated the game was for both Xbox 360 and PS3 but the game ended up being finished months before the PS3 launched. Perhaps Sega didn't want to release a sequel on 360 within a year of its predecessor.
The fact that this game only had a few months of development is also explains some rehash levels. If it had a few more months of development it could have bene on both platforms and even more differences in levels as well as even more extra content.
So i´m just wondering, but did the first Game so well that it managed to get an Sequel? I don´t say it´s a bad Game, since i´ve never played any of these 2 Games. But somehow not many people remember about these. So i´m wondering how it even manages to get a Sequel.
No always you need to see a sequel as a result of the first game’s numbers but rather as a way to get around an exclusivity contract. Full Auto was an Xbox exclusive. Sega, of course, was a multi-platform developer. Having presence at the launch of a new console, specially with a product you already created, is ideal to make more money from it. So, releasing an updated version of the same game as a sequel, with additions to justify the full price, helped with this. Since Full Auto was an Xbox exclusive (the specific game, not the IP) then merely creating a sequel allowed them to circumvent the deal. And don’t get me wrong: there is nothing nefarious about it. Sega owned the IP and Xbox only had exclusivity over the first game and not the series. The same happened with Ridge Racer 6 and 7: RR6 was an Xbox 360 exclusive, but for PS3’s launch Namco created RR7 which was a much updated, improved, and refined version of RR6. Doing this allowed companies to focus resources on developing a single game rather than splitting teams for individual projects for each console. Specially in the early days of Xbox 360 and PS3, when the hardware was new and the user base for each was smaller and thus the amount of units sold would have been smaller too, it was a good way of sharing the cost.
@@ramiahwhitney1946 it really does make a big difference, so odd. i wonder how many other ps3 titles benefit from this same trick? i never tried it with red dead redemption but i remember that one running worse than 360 back in the day. presumably it only helps when titles are gpu limited not cpu limited
FINALLY! God, this is one of my absolute favourite video games and seeing it finally get some recognition makes me so happy :')
I thought I was the only one that loved this game lol. Replayed the campaign like 100 times haha
One of those pure fun childhood games, it's definitively rough sometimes but that really doesn't matter with a game about shooting missiles to explode other cars while jumping from buildings.
The nostalgia is making me melt with pure euphoria.
Totally forgot this game had a sequel, I remember playing the first game religiously with my best friend
If it ever gets re-released, I will buy it 1000%
So glad I found this channel. You my good friend have unlock a fun memory for me. Thank you🎉
I would love a physical re-release for PS4/5, with a locked 60-fps.
Xbox Scorpion ever get released?
@@jamesbeatty-wilson5290Pretty sure Project Scorpio was the codename for the Xbox One X.
I loved this game, played so much online that I got to #3 in online gladiator mode before servers got shut off. Good times, good times.
Such an underrated game. Hidden gem, and I wish more people had bought it so we could’ve seen where the developers could take the series
This was one of my childhood favorites, definitely had its flaws and it was real difficult to play for my 8 year old brain back then but so many good memories from playing arcade mode split screen with my dad and other buddies.

I love these older title reviews, I never had PS3 during the initial run but won a slim modded PS3 last year and I really like it. Happy 2022 to you.
Can't believe I've never heard of it, thanks for highlighting it.
Absolute banger! Especially for a 15 year old launch title.

Man, this sequel looks like a banger. I NEED to play it.
Getting kills in this game has the same feeling as tank kills in Warthunder lol

The Full Auto games reminds me of Crash N' Burn on the 3DO but with better graphics. Was a fun game.
Man I would want to hear this game's soundtrack.
Methods of mayhem- crash is a treat to listen to if you've haven't
It’s on youtube

I miss full auto my 1st ever mp game used to go crazy!
If they ever re release full auto it’s my game of choice
6:08 is rather reminiscent of burnout 3
will give the first one a chance on my old 360 for sure
My favorite game I played on PS3!
I picked up the second game recently thanks to your video on the first game.
I played 2 years ago but couldn't get Into it. Hopefully as a adult I can lol
i still have the ps3 copy, shame it's not smooth enough
try disabling 1080i/1080p video output on your consoles display settings, makes the game run a lot better!

2:25 that mission was the hardest out of all
Sceptre missions were annoying.
@@ramiahwhitney1946 i like them and the second one is ez

Change your display on your ps3 to 720P or 480 P it helps to increase the frame rate a lot better

Wait Xbox 360 exclusive?? I had this game on the ps3 🤔
Thanks, just snagged a copy on ebay for $6
Looks like a fun game but I'm not sure it's worth seeking out
I hate rubber banding.
It's game is like death race
my first ps3 game
it's not exclusive to xbox 360
Split/Second review by any chance? i meant blur actually great racing game.
Maybe you can change the titles on all of them to " review in "
I think that would be better for traffic and attention and it's the truth.
Why do you think we haven't seen a third game in the series or a reboot, huh?
because gamespy shutdown and the studio did too
Basically pg deathrace
Needs more good cheats
Low frame rates accompanied by a predominant brown-grey color palette? Yup, it's a Playstation 3 game alright.
Sadly they haven’t to finish fixing frame rates problem.
I feel like FA2 actually had more color than FA1. FA2 seems more blue to me while FA1 is yellow and brown
What a huge loss..
