This was super fun to explore. They really should have customized the game more with that unique aesthetic like reskinning the weapons and first person hands.
Not gonna lie, CS: Neo looks and feels like a fever dream of a game. Especially those futuristic player models, while carrying not-so futuristic weapons. And the maps, it feels like those weird Roblox mini games. Now I know why you change the animals on your videos and your pfp… I thought you got bored from it or smth? Too bad it was iconic. Either love the video man, keep up the good stuff!
Man it sucks that people actually copywrited those wunkus's you put in those videos, its fair but it really made your channel unique in a way. The critters you chose for this video still fulfil this role very well though, seriously, good job with the rebrand
Remember, This Counter Strike has Visual Novel of its own called "White Memories". T'was made by Romancework and published by Bandai. Pretty fun flash game If you ask me. It's like a continuation of this game.
I've played it and "unofficially" translated it and at least for what I understand the visual novel is just "there" in the lore's timeline. It can easily be before, in or after whatever you choose to call "The game's canon". Something like the normal CS maps where it's hard to know when stuff happens or even who wins or loses at the end. For example is cannon that de_cbble was bombed because in de_chateau it is mentioned that the T's won and are trying to bomb other castle. Like, in CS:Neo v1 there is both "de_forest" and "de_forest2" but just like in "de_dust" and "de_dust2" there's no knowledge of which one is after which. At least for me it is more of a "Expansion" which involves you way more into the game and also lets you "simulate" FPS gameplay inside a Visual Novel, which is crazy.
The video quality is soooo good! One of the best ones I've seen speaking about this topic. Concise but not short, informative but not long, very practical to show it up for people who has never seen it before. And so, as always in my comments about this game, I'll comment some trivia related to what's been shown. 1) 0:03 The third row's footage is from CS:Neo, but the second version from August 2005, which is actually accurate to what's said in 3:28. That was clever. 2) 0:54 The footage shown is a Counter Strike's clone called "CrossFire", interesingly the video showcase their version of "de_cache" called "Refinery". 3) 1:11 That's correct, the machine "Namco System N2" didn't only allowed CS:Neo to be played on but other games. Those include: - Animal Kaiser: The King of Animal (A fighting game where you had to insert a card and you could battle against feral animals). - Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield 1 and 2 (Your typical mecha's shooter arcade). - MotoGP DX (Not much to say). - Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune 3 (Your typical racing game). And the most important of all without counting CS:Neo... - "New Space Order", a real-time strategy arcade game where we battle against spaceships. Long story short, the game released on February 2007 and added a lot of content to the game with crazy lore (Even crazier to what was shown in 1:33) and characters. Which also had their own Flash Visual novel! Yeah, as CSNEO: White Memories (4:15), though this one could be played inside the web. But this one was also closed around the same time of CS:Neo on January 2019. By the way, the shown gameplay on 1:14 is from a game called "Phantasy Star Online" from 2001 and made by SEGA. Just to say, nothing related to those above mentioned. 4) 1:39 "C.S.F" is an acronym for "Cosmopolitan Special Forces" (NEO just stands for "NEO Corporation Monopolice", no acronyms in there for some reason, but if you want it to have some they would be "N.C.M". But it sounds worse that just NEO, doesn't it?). 5) 3:50 At the left side of the screen you can see a radar, this one looks similar to what's shown in "CS:1.6", but that's only an issue the TeknoParrot emulator has. The original game and footage (As shown very briefly in 9:40) had an actual image of the top-down view of the map which rotated depending on where you were. You can see the actual images inside the files, though some of them are low-quality (Maybe they were ported from the first version or they didn't mind that because the radar couldn't be changed). 6) 4:15 This is the original opening scene from the visual novel in the first chapter called "First Contact". Though this only appears in the first chapter and it doesn't open the game. The game opens with Maki on the floor been rescued and losing her memories (That's the main point for the name of the Visual Novel, she doesn't remember who she is). Speaking of which, it was released on May 2005, and the playable version of the 7th chapter "Truth" (An important one btw...) is lost-media. Though there's one video of someone playing it and screenshots of what's said, so at least is not lost in time what happened inside. And yeah, nobody has fully implemented a playable English version or any language just to say, though I've been able to translate it, but not something playable. 7) 4:40 The low quality video of an sniper seems to be a highlight, but it's actually a scene with cropped background buildings of the map "neo_03collision" / "Warehouse", in bombsite's B pit from the second version of the game. 8) 5:04 The cat said "ばか", also transcribed as "Baka", if you've ever seen anime you'd be used to hear this famous insult. A funny detail. 9) 6:26 Some gameplay shown in the video comes from "DeZolance" stream called "CS NEO with Goldec". Including this mission which they both lasted 13 minutes to complete it, and pretty much because they were a duo hehe. I got some time ago a score of 34,150 on 2m 30.60s alone. Definitively harder than what some people think it is, even more when you don't know the map layout. 10) 6:44 What's said is actually correct, they are not robots, neither mechas but actual Cyborgs. The NEO corporation used Nanomachines to control people's brains and emotions + enchancing their abilities. This is better explain on White Memories. 11) 7:27 It's actually not just inside the files, but inside the game in the Training mode as shown in 6:15 where it is above e20 "Downtown" and is called "Old Laboratory". Yeah, it's basically the "as_" gamemode, but the map is way trickier than you'd expect. It has a lot of angles you can even explode some parts by pressing a button. A very fun and casual map. 12) 7:53 The pictures shown are from the designer "Yoshio Sugiura", and are pure concepts, those are not found inside the game. 13) 9:18 It's not the fourth map, but the nineth as the map is called "neo_09collision". The grinder is not in B site but rather on Middle closer to Bombsite A than B (I think). And yeah, I agree with the 9:29 point. For example on "e20"/"Downtown" (9:12) in the same place where he jumps he can also get to a roof and basically eliminate the C.S.F. team with at least 3 people boosting each-other (Maybe a feature for the NEO so the map isn't so unbalanced, though I see it more as a joke thing). 14) 9:41 As mentioned in the name those were "Clan" wars, meaning, tournaments against clans, which you could create inside the game. They were so important to the game that they even created their own websites where they could talk about the game or their matches against other clans. Sadly some of these are lost in time. Now, some highlights. 3:14 * It's as in "Chew", not as in "Character", but is understandable * 3:58 Daaaaaamn! Noscope Headshot! 7:14 Yep, those are some sick bunny hopping, at least for this game. Don't expect it to be see it all over the place. 10:00 The emulator doesn't allow you to have all of them by default so you must put a console command with the exact skin so you can have it. With commands you could also add individual parts to these as shown at the right side of the screen on 10:08. 12:19 Yeeeees! It looks sooo cuute!!! Omg, I can't wait to see it all rigged! Thank you for reading all of this. If you have any other question or you want to add more just let me know below :D
6:54 First one is the Half-Life 1 Long Jump Module. Rest are, indeed, weapons from Condition Zero and Deleted Scenes (not surprising if NEO was using CZ as a basis). The Shield is in 1.6 and CZ and CZDS, LAW and M60 are in CZDS.
It feels so good watching Valve's story on Half life 2 to then watch your amazing video on CS Neo. Saw the amazing concept art on your Twitter, Neo is definitely a one of a kind scenario
@@gddrip101 Hi, if you see the website shown on (11:35) you will be able to download all chapters. If you don't want to download them, there's people who have posted reactions of these. And for the 7th chapter you can find videos of it. As mentioned in my comment this one only appears in the first chapter so there's no need to download all the others.
I can assume it was because they paid for the rights for a certain amount of time and after that they couldn't do anything about it. Even if they released it remember that they would have to port it to a lot of systems, add servers (which are not free) and the community could or not play it as much as before. Even when we have knowledge of this game and even a playable versions not many people has tried again. Taking this types of risks have consequences and it's understandable that they decided not to. Buuut... if you don't want a sad message, you can also search for yourself people who have ported some of the maps to some versions of CS.
2:35 I do believe there were a couple of official CS:GO comics that were released during some operations, but unfortunately, they're probably not go- Wait, I just remembered you're the guy that I learned about the comics from.
Finnally a theorie you promise in another video and i've been waiting for, thanks goldec i dont care if i need to wait for another video im very gratefull you did this.
Kinda sad to see the original dog company pics gone, but the new ones are just as good, and that rising line to Japan transition is so cool god damn🔥🔥🔥
Sucks about the now almost iconic cat pictures you used (they should pay you lol) but i'm excited where this channel is headed. Cs Neo is bonkers and i have never heard of it having played CS since 1999. Also the spanish subtitles came in super clutch as i didn't know anything about Frutiger Aero. Very cool.
A vertical deathmatch map. There's a sign in the roof that can used to cross to opposite team. Another sign to bridge in the middle that really open to gunfire. There's also a ground level to sneaks opposite team from below. Something like that
@@liuchenen109 Ok, I think I found It: "Eastern Road". It has advertisement signs all over the place, a bridge and a road below. Yeah, I can see now how those 2 maps correlate. Even more when the Point Blank map was specifically made to appeal an "East-Asia aesthetic" with the signs and name.
Not sure why but I did not receive a notification for this video release and it did not show up on my home page, 2.3k views in 7 hours isn't normal for Ur channel. Some kind of ghost ban, hope you can solve whatever is causing this ❤
Are you talking about 11:30 CS:Neo v2 port? Because it isn't even a port, it's a leaked version that thanksfully we can play through an emulator. If it is a CS:Neo v1 version that is found in the Internet... You'd have to really post it fast because it will be magical.
If they haven't done it already, even for free is because they'll need to work on the game. Probably the original developer's files are gone or they need permission from Bandai Namco. Even Steam has standards, they cannot put games that can't be open.
Hey ı have cs story a group of guys ın turkey decied to play cs (ıdk which one) and when they ın team select they beacicly say we ate terorist to which team they selecting i think and some old man heard them thinking they are real terorist atack them even trow them a chair (its a real story)
Thank you for finaly waking up from your coma Goldec
It was a good nap
now we just need ratlobber to wake up
@1:04 transition is really cool/clever
This was super fun to explore. They really should have customized the game more with that unique aesthetic like reskinning the weapons and first person hands.
the dog company pics were only holding you back, this shit GASS 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣

I need to say, you made me watch the entire skinsmonkey ad by only putting the El Chavo theme on the background

Banger video. Loved the way you incorporated meme animals into it as a substitute for your older style. Very well done, wish I couldve played CS:Neo.
6:53 thats the half life 1 jetpack that allows you to dash when pressing both space and control at the same time
Great video as always. I love your use of little big planet songs, such an important part of my childhood

Absolute banger. Super interesting topic and it's nice seeing your editing style getting better and better.
new cute cars very cool
loving the new silly creatures. good work on finding a way to appease the corpos at the dog company.
the king is back 👑
i honestly don't know why they didn't do a full pc release when ledzone faded away.
I can assume it was because they paid for the rights for a certain amount of time and after that they couldn't do anything about it.

5:29 This is the #1 comedy investigation show on CS!!

Wait, I just remembered you're the guy that I learned about the comics from.
As a video editor that transiton from cs growing to the map of japan was perfect dude, love it
Finnally a theorie you promise in another video and i've been waiting for, thanks goldec i dont care if i need to wait for another video im very gratefull you did this.
6:55 These were from Gearbox's version of CSCZ
Said sprites are laying around on CS 1.6
CS 1.6 is like a cut down version of what Gearbox had planned
That would be cool if you could talk about the white memories thing, also nice video thanks goldec
Kinda sad to see the original dog company pics gone, but the new ones are just as good, and that rising line to Japan transition is so cool god damn🔥🔥🔥
Bro... this is gas. Even after the cease and desist its still fucking amazing.
Yo the smalls cats always get me😂😂😂
1:02 holy shit that transition 🙏
cabbit is a welcome addition,,, banger video tho, i wonder if anyone's ever ran cs neo on a hl2 survivor machine..

Downtown in CS Neo, kinda reminds me of other SEA FPS game called Point Blank.
Which map from Point Blank looks similar to de_downtown?
In Point Blank I haven't seen a so industrialized and "Colorful" map.
A vertical deathmatch map.
There's a sign in the roof that can used to cross to opposite team.
Another sign to bridge in the middle that really open to gunfire.
There's also a ground level to sneaks opposite team from below.
Something like that
@@liuchenen109 Ok, I think I found It: "Eastern Road".
It has advertisement signs all over the place, a bridge and a road below.
Yeah, I can see now how those 2 maps correlate. Even more when the Point Blank map was specifically made to appeal an "East-Asia aesthetic" with the signs and name.
new vid yayayayy:)
W Video, W Gaben "Seal" of approval
Not sure why but I did not receive a notification for this video release and it did not show up on my home page, 2.3k views in 7 hours isn't normal for Ur channel. Some kind of ghost ban, hope you can solve whatever is causing this ❤
It's not even lost at all, there's even an unofficial pc port somewhere
Where?
Are you talking about 11:30 CS:Neo v2 port? Because it isn't even a port, it's a leaked version that thanksfully we can play through an emulator.
If it is a CS:Neo v1 version that is found in the Internet... You'd have to really post it fast because it will be magical.
Would have been interesting if they instead continued to support the game by releasing it on steam
If they haven't done it already, even for free is because they'll need to work on the game.
Probably the original developer's files are gone or they need permission from Bandai Namco.
Even Steam has standards, they cannot put games that can't be open.

Goldec could you make a video about cs2d and its history it’s pretty interesting
BAWLS! I used to buy that from a Becker's

Aw mane, you were forced to rebrand :((

Hey this game is similar to Neo Tokyo
I mean, it's a shooter and... Not much else is similar.
Neo Tokyo is way darker and realistic. CS:Neo isn't as tactical as that one.
