pls make a playlist of forgotten gems of the PS2 theres a bunch of great titles in the PS2 era that needs a comeback or remake like the Onimusha series in particular, God of War wouldnt be as popular as it is if it werent for Onimusha bcoz David Jaffe even mentioned that💁🏻♀️💯
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
The game had budget of under $10 million with a small team of around 20 people
RoboCop Rogue City is the true sequel to the RoboCop Franchise we will never see as a Theatrical Release 😜
The same can be said for Terminator resistance.
Unfortunately besides the main characters the voice acting is horrible.
Remnant 2 and lies of p should be on here.
List of the games.
Robocop Rogue City.
Control.
Lost In Random.
Evil West.
Darksiders 1,2,3
Kingdoms of Amalur :Re-Reckoning.
A Plagues Tale Series.
Chorus.
Metro 2033.
It Takes Two.
Control is a AAA title, with a strategy guide made by future press and with more budget than quantum break. Agree on every other titles though, good choice 👍
Control is better than most AAA games released in The last year imo 🤷♂️
Is Control a rogue-shooter? It reminds me of Returnal.
A 30 million dollar budget can’t be scoffed at though. That’s impressive
no@@stephenking5852
Control only had a 30 million budget and very little marketing. Control 2 will be AAA based on its success and the success of Alan Wake 2. But by definition Control is a AA title.
AA games are unironically better than a lot of AAA.
Hahahaaha nope..now I am not saying AAA are not bad they are but AA also suffer from a lot of things AAA goes through too
Agreed AAA titles are only AAA titles cause they have to pay 50% to stock holders now. Game industry a joke now
Less A's means they suck less A$$
Other Double AA titles people should check out are
Vampyr
The Surge 1 and 2
Elex 1 and 2
Greedfall
Mars Wars Logs and Technomancer
Darkersiders 1, 2 and 3
Rements from the Ashes
Get Even
Chernobylite
Risen 1, 2 and 3
Banshiers
Atomic Hearts
Wild Hearts
Biomutant
Maneater
These are the games i can think of in the top of my head. There are plenty more if you are looking to buy Double AA games.
Risen... yeah... I will scream again I think but they are evolving for the next version
really hate the controls of maneater
The Surge was a pleasant surprise. The gnarly limb dismemberment system was a brilliant execution mechanic
Some really nice games on your addition list :-D I hope there will be a fourth Darksiders :-(
@@germanCouchWarrior There are a lot more but i can't remember all of them in the top of my head. I love Double AA titles more then Indies and Triple AAA games. A lot of them tend to be janky but provide the traditional experience you are looking for in games.
One underrated AA is definetely Immortals of Avuem. I really recommend this to anyone who likes FPS games and wizard games.
Saw it has an update coming up with some additions including an HDR rework on PS5. I have it but will wait to try and get into it till then
Alone in the Dark (2024) and Outcast A New Beginning (2024) are recent AA games worth recommending. The Sinking City (2019) and Sherlock Holmes Chapter One (2021) are other very notable AA games. Evil West is fantastic, one of the most fun games I've played in recent years.
-The Chant
-Blacktail
-Biomutant
-Soulstice
-Destroy All Humans 1 & 2
-Godfall
I just got done with evil west and robo cop and had a blast with them. I played chorus about a year ago, we don't get enough unique games like that. I wanna play plauge tales.
Man, I really hope we get a Lost in Random sequel.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance Should be on this list
Evil west was such a fun game.. glad yall mentioned it
For Star Trek fans, might I suggest Star Trek: Resurgence. It is probably the best Star Trek game ever made. The game was made by Dramatic Labs, a company made up of former Telltale devs.
Liking and commenting for you guys mentioning Lost in Random. A true hidden gem of a game. Underrated is an understatement.
Kena bridge of spirits is a fine damn AA game
Playing that right now and loving it
Love how I just beat Control, and evil west almost back to back! Both great games! Control is definitely better but evil west is great, has amazing combat, good co op experience
A Plague Tale Series is in Top 10 of best games I've ever played.
Such well written games!
Robocop Rogue City is a fucking blast! Teyon really did their homework with Robocop just like they did with Terminator Resistance, I love the gameplay, the writing and the storyline, also having Peter Weller voicing Robocop again and having the original theme from the 1st Robocop is icing on the cake.
Control is a masterpiece game, Remedy outdid themselves with this on and it's more of a AAA game than a AA game, I love the characters, writing and story, the game is a fucking blast, I finished it in 28 Days last July.
Besides God Of War, Darksiders are my all time favorite games to play thank you for mentioning them. Some people might not have heard about them until now and I hope they appreciate them like I do.
I have some additions :-D
Vampyr, Greedfall, Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen (Old and new), The Surge 1 + 2, Psychonauts 2, Chronos: Before the Ashes and Remnant 1 +2, En Garde!, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, The Pathless, Scars Above, Soulstice, Steelrising, Technomancer, Terminator: Resistance, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Transformers: Devastation, We Happy Few.
I already love AA more then AAA.
Control also has a lot of lore scattered around, some of which is (loosely) based on actual events. The explosion the fridge survived in "Fridge Duty" was an actual event, and the Havana embassy story, which you encounter on your way to the Hotline, seems to have jumped back into the headlines of late. The "Eagle Limited" train car was based on a very real piece of historic rolling stock, make, model, the whole sockarooni.
Remedy did their HOMEWORK with that one.
i tried chorus but couldn't get passed an early tutorial where I had to destroy some generators cuz of drifting. Drifting had to be too percise and was too slow
Kingdoms of Amalur was a beautiful game.
Just started playing metro the other day and I love them
1:12 'And Peter Weller returns to voice Robocop'
1:12 *Doesn't show any dialogue of Peter Weller as Robocop*
Just finished Robocop last night, fantastic game!
I just hate first person games man
Lost in Random was really good I did enjoy it. Both Plague Tale games were also amazing
Evil West was good until it wasnt, in the last few chapters of the game mine glitched and it was a game ending glitch which when i googled was commonish. The game relies on auto save and at one point the game no longer auto saved so there was no way to save your progress and if you died you went back to the last autosave that registered and for me it was something like 3 chapters before and I had to do a mini boss battle all over again. The first time it happened I did actually do all those chapters and boss battle again because I was enjoying the game. Then it happened again just before the last boss battle of the entire game I got to the point where you had to defeat loads of enemies then it would give you a marker to move onto the next stage which was the final boss but the marker never appeared so I couldnt move on. When I tried to restart the chapter it wouldnt let me and took me to my last autosave which was all those chapters before so I lost all my progress and after that I will admit i did kinda rage quit. Sorry for the rant it just annoyed me because the game was good and I would recommend but also warn about what could happen.
For kingdoms of amalur, don't forget RA Salvatores lore building
How is KOA?
@@ryanashland2874
The fatesworn edition is really good
There's a lot of fantastic stuff on this list - Lost in Random was my favorite game the year it came out, and RoboCop Rogue City rules. Darksiders III, Kingdoms of Amalur, Control... just so much quality here. The kind of quality that really embarrasses a lot of AAA efforts. These types of games are the ones that really deserve more attention, so props to doing just that!
If you guys revisit this topic, I highly suggest Gylt - it's by the same devs who did RiME, but it seems like no one pays attention to what Tequila Works does _now_ for some reason (they also did a recent "League of Legends Story" game, Song of Nunu. No one talks about any of those, except maybe The Ruined King). But it's fantastic. It's this survival horror stealth game with a very Coraline-esque look to it... if Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill made misguided attempts to look "kid friendly" but kept all the dark elements, you'd have Gylt pretty much.
You guys may have hit THQ Nordic hard on this list (rightfully so), but you could also take a look at more of Focus Entertainment's if there's a next time too. Between stuff like Greedfall, Aliens: Dark Descent, Othercide, Atlas Fallen, Atomic Heart, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, etc. they're releasing a lot of good AA games too. They're also behind the upcoming Warhammer 40K Space Marine sequel, which is looking fantastic, so they're emerging as a "AA" leader this gen too, I think.
Some of these games honestly feel triple A I didn't knew metro was a double A game btw what about biomutant it felt like a triple A only develop by 30 people damn they should be proud of themselves
10:37 this looks like hugelly upgraded HD version of ps1 game colony wars.
Darksiders 2, and Kingdoms of Amalur are my favorites from this list. I like Kindoms as much as Skyrim. The PS3 version of Darksiders 2 was the best. The weapons you got from Vulgim had zero stats, you were more free to make your optimal build. Should you play it, you will understand why that's important
The Metro Series Are Definitely Games I Actually Tell People About. They Are Extremely Fun And Only Get Better With Each Installment.
Guys you HAVE TO check out Evil West. Its such a blast
Is an "old" one but Silent Hill Shattered Memories o Specs op the line , both tell a great story with a shocking end.
Robo Cop Rogue City is an Double A Gem 💎
Didnt play darksiders or amalur but the rest are absolute must-plays
Im actually playing Evil West and I will admit the games actually a fun time.
I played "Lost in Random" right after it had launched. Such a gorgeous game. I enjoyed it immensly. Hopefully they will make a sequel.
💜🖤
And love me some "Darksiders" too!!!
❤💙💞
"It takes two" is perfection!!!
🧡💛
Great list!
Robocop is such a good game. I loved it from start to finish. Also loved Control, even though half of the story I was like, wtf is going on here… then saw it was apart of the Alan Wake universe which I’ve never played so was like… ahhh no wonder I’m not really understanding these references 😂.
Outward! In addition, great call with It takes two. Such a great game
I’ll have to check out Evil West👀
Control has one of the best original songs from a game ever!
🎵TAKE CONTROL🎵
Control had a budget of $30M, which is certainly far more than a AA budget. The rest of the list is great though 🙌🏻
I peep how it was April fools yesterday, but this actually seems like a pretty nice video😂
Kingdoms of Amalur wasn't a low budget AA game... former baseball player Kurt Schilling literally bankrupted and scammed an entire state
Literally laughed out loud when I saw it on the list
Is that true
@princeofpokemon2934 there's a major story about 38 studios kurt schilling and rhode island look it up the story is insane
@princeofpokemon2934
Yes it's true, he got a 75 million dollar loan and somehow turned into 150 million dollar debt
@@Silenthitman44 please tell me that jackass was arrested. A guy like him that scammed an entire State and made it go bankrupt deserves to be locked away for life
For Control they forgot to say the game is Young and Restless and Bold and Beautiful.
Should've included Lies of P.
@@RicochetForcenioh is not AA , it made and published by AAA studio،i agree with you about sifu
@@RicochetForceFifa
, COD ,NFS ,Forza horizon and motorsports, pokemon even tears of kingdom reuse assets from previous titles but those are AAA games also nioh publisher is Koei Tecmo
Have Robocop's issues been fixed? I did a search and saw comments from last year about issues on the Series X and PS5 versions.
That EA game looks like something out of Tim Burton's playbook. I have to figure out which system that game is on. It looks wild, kinda like Psychonauts.. Also One State looks too good to be true.
Thanks!
Thanks for your support!
If Helldivers 2 or Palworld are cobsidered AA then they shouldve been on this list somewhere.
It takes 2 was soooo much fun! My wife and I found it fantastic! ❤
Chorus is great!
I never seen control before 😲
Pacific Drive
Kena bridge of spirits
Subnautica
Outer worlds
Grounded
Psychonauts 2
Helldivers 2
DOOM Eternal
Give these games a shot at least once
Control is a wonderful game
Folklore was a great AA game on the PS3.
I was like “Alcoholic Anonymous” games? 😅😂
Brothers a Tale of Two Sons for sure.
MAD MAX!!!
I don’t ever remember robocop using an Ak47 or an uzi.
I'm playing Robocop Rogue city right now
Wow, there are plenty of AA games to try and gain new exp about how to build your own videogame. By the way, i never thought Robocop Rogue city is a AA game.
Banishers Ghosts Of New Eden.
Sifu! Couldn’t be a better AA on the market besides Lies of P or Sifu
Chorus is really trying to scratch that Freelancer itch. Not a lot of titles have come close.
This list should have included Soulstice.
greedfall should have made the list
True I need to beat it, I have a big back log lol
AA games are awesome
Vanquish
If I buy two of those games, do I get Skull & Bones too? :P
“Just” a $30 million budget?! That’s a lot of freakin money!
In most cases yeah but typically triple a games are in the 60-80+ million range but some go even crazier highest budget ones like red dead 2 are in the 300-600 million dollar range
@12:12 developers, take note: THIS is what happens when you don't crunch your programmers. Is "Hellblade" AA? Not sure what its budget was
Hellbalde is aa, it's budget was only like 10 million
No more new Darksiders games? Does that mean Darksiders 3 is the last of the storyline?
Its not, They are just working on the Rement franchise as it makes thq more money
It Takes Two is fantastic!!
What about Kena: Bridge of Spirits...?
Robocop: Rogue City, A Plague Tale series 👌
Absolutely based having Lost in Random on there. Random Rules!
Strider 2014
Rouge City looks cool.
It’s a must play. 🤩
ONLY $30 million? Lol, and that's not AAA? Damn, that's crazy
Triple aaa ones are usually in the 60-80+ million range with the highest ones in the 300-600 million range (red dead redemption 2)
HELLO EVERYONE AND GOD BLESS US ALL 👍🏿 😎 👍🏿
Ummmmm.....Life is Strange?
Also in Metro (which is an AAA series actually), its war between Russia and the US.
I heard RoboCop Rogue City had a lot of bugs on release. I guess they've been patched.
missing classical bethesda's terminator games though...
All these games look pretty expensive to me
Control is double A? I always thought it was tripple A.
It's budget was only like 30 million which is under the typical 60-80+ million cost that triple ones cost
the saboteur
remember me
psi ops
second sight
dr muto
gothic
Sphinx the cursed Mummy
Control is AA ?
Magically ‼this 💖🔆🤪
Robocop is a awesome game
isn’t the witcher also considered to be a AA games ? CD Projekt Red was a much smaller team back then
True although I think this list is to highlight lesser known games unlike Witcher which has a Netflix series to its name. Chorvs is one title I think I would have never planned to check out, which I intend to do so now as I have been wanting some good space shooter
How do you know when a game is AA?
The budget and team has to be small. Not as small as indie but as big as Triple AAA. Control is a triple AAA title though so not sure why they placed that there.
Bro almost lost me starting this off with SpongeBob
still waiting for darksiders 4, genesis doesn't count in my eyes as anything other than a side game, strife needs a proper open world experience and then one final game where you can play as all Horsemen to take out the big villain.
