I think if Out of Shadows got a complete controller + combat overhaul, and the game had an 3 extra months of technical polish, it could have really been a classic TMNT game.
it didn't need a combat overhaul, it just needed players to put in time past the first mission (the way that game played at the start was horrendous though), once you unlocked the moves and abilities each turtle was smooth and played differently than the next.
@@freepremium5886 honestly, it just needed more points to upgrade, allowing you to change how you play more frequently, which was the biggest issue outside of not having enough to do with said abilities.
lol me to this game was fun sure its not perfect in any stretch of the imagination but I still enjoyed it i actually like it more then TMNT turtles in time re-shelled
same here I think the 360 version is actually more polished then the PS3 version, I heard that was also the case with Sonic 06 and Vampire Rain where despite those ports coming later they somehow wound up being even worse.
Thanks for making this! I worked on Out of the Shadows. It's amazing to me that people are still making videos about it. I wish I could sit down with you and just give you an AMA style inside scoop on everything you mentioned here. It's too much for a TH-cam comments section though. I could tell you some stories though. It made me so happy when the one good thing you mentioned was the context based movement system, my baby! :) Thanks for the great vid.
I absolutely loved this game, the fighting mechanics and gameplay was amazing! I’ve been trying to get my 360 back off my ex just so I can play it this last few weeks, fingers crossed we’ll get it in some format some day.
Wow cool. This is one of my favorite TMNT games ever, I felt that players didn't have the patience for the game. I literally trained in the dojo to get accustomed to the combat. I always wanted to see a detailed video on the development of this game like what was planned and left out and other behind the scene info.
@@toonhead2 The combat was a lot deeper than it often gets credit for. We started off by modeling the basic combat system on Arkham which was a popular success at the time. However, we had a very enthusiastic combat designer who worked closely with our animators and QA tester every day to add more and more to the combat. We had a lot of prop weapons around the studio to play with, and they were often watching old kung fu movies or anything to inspire a cool new move. The only problem was, as some have learned, not many people even knew how to do most of the stuff that was put in the game. The dojo was the key for understanding how to fully enjoy the game, and many players likely skipped that altogether. The right thumbstick mechanic allowed for lots of moves to be added, but confused a lot of players I think. Even I, as one of the programmers of the game, didn't know how to do a lot of the moves. I was programming the nuts and bolts of certain game mechanics, and when I played I usually just spammed the basic attacks like a noob. I got to see all of the awesome stuff that was possible when some of the other team members would play. I just didn't know how to do any of it. XD
@@moonymachine8125 I see that's cool...Yeah I started playing it like Arkham and was thinking maybe I shouldn't and that's when I decided to go this the dojo. As a fan of Tmnt I thought it was a nice touch to actually train. I really felt you guys tried your best in making this game hence being patient with it. Then I was able to pull almost all of the moves at will. I was making a Tmnt fan game using this as inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Most of the assumptions I see people make about what kind of shortcomings ultimately limited the appeal of the game are pretty accurate. I'm not going to call anything out, but in spite of the unfortunate realities that prevent a big group project from achieving its perceived potential, we had a lot of passionate members on the team who really put their all into it. Our combat designer is the one who personally reached out to Partners in Kryme to ask them if we could use the song Turtle Power in the game!
One of many reasons why I will always prefer physical media over digital download; there's virtually no chance that they will ever just disappear from existence.
Despite the complaints about Out of The Shadows, once you got into a groove and you get the mechanics down, it plays like poetry in motion and can be pretty neat to be so in-synch that you finish an enemy off with all four turtles doing the movie Tatsu four shell take down. So it kinda sucks that you can't get it anymore.
Exactly I think the fighting system and combos were well done for each turtle. I know Mendoza said he felt the gameplay was boring, but that's because he really did know what he was doing. The counter and blocks worked once you knew exactly how to do it. once I unlocked everything I had so many nice stylish combos especially with team attacks.
Out of the Shadows is, in my opinion, the best TMNT game ever. Excellent graphics, great, immersive atmosphere mixing the tone of both the older comics and the current cartoons, and versatile gameplay.

Miss both of these games dearly, despite the flaws. Loved playing them with my buds - my own brothers in a half-shell. Great vid. Also, at a local arcade there was a Turtles in Time rendition with the 2012 nickelodeon cast that wasn’t half bad. Just wish it was more widely available.
My favourite thing about the game is purely cosmetic. There's a cheat code for the original red bandannas and I always use them. It's weird because you can toggle them like it's a setting but you'd never know they were in the game without looking it up.
I think the biggest problem with Turtles in time ReShelled was the fact that was a remake of the Arcade version.....what is a shame when the SNES version had way more stuff.....
To "Out of the Shadows" credit, at least each turtle's fighting style was unique. It gave me a reason to switch between them -- leveling them up to see what other character specific move I'd unlock. Like Raph's spinebuster or Donnie's "make em dance" thing. Good stuff, unlike Platinum games take. That and how Raph looked like a member of the locust horde.
I remember when out of the shadows dropped, still have it installed on my 360. I loved it as a kid and I’ve been wanting to jump back in for nostalgia sake.
I remember playing out of the shadows and thinking it was badass.. Maybe I have to power up my ps3 and give it another shot.. I remember the combat being super fun and once you get the hang of it making you feel like you're unstoppable and the traversal in the levels always felt so true to the turtles
Out of the Shadows was fantastic. Yes it had some glitches but the second you got the fighting down, it was lots of fun with each turtle. Upgrading wasn’t as tedious as some other games either. Plus it came with a 2D best em up within it.
Man back when I was younger I wanted the ‘07 TMNT tie-in game so badly! I remember trying to rent it every weekend. I didn’t want to ask my parents for another game, It never showed up at the Hollywood Video that was still standing at the time. Talk about a throwback.
I still got the Mutants In Manhattan game from Steam... Platinum Action Game TMNT. Why they pulled that, plus Korra and Transformers from digital stores, I'll never understand.
mutants of manhattan was a missed opportunity for platinum games in my opinion because i was expecting it to play like transformers devastation. since i love tmnt i looked beyond the poor execution of the game and enjoyed it. still, cannot shake the feeling how it could've played better with a little of transformers devastation's system.
Strange, I remember having a ton of fun with Out of the Shadows. I don't even remember it being all that buggy, but then again I was like twelve when I last played it lol. I should try it again soon to check.
out of the shadows gameplay was so cool.... separating kicks and weapon attacks to different buttons is genius.... parkour was cool too...... hopefully the new tmnt game last ronin is a step up of this one
5:33 Tokka and Razhar were actually in the 87 cartoon. Not weird at all. Luckily for me I got both Turtles in Time Reshelled and Out of the Shadows on the Xbox 360 when they first got released.
It's a good thing I never took TMNT Out of the Shadows off my hard dive on my ps3 . Regardless how people felt about that game in my opinion its one of my favorites they have the classic tag team moves from off the 80,s movies. that another reason why I like out of the Shadows so much
Honestly, I remember really enjoying TMNT OOTS. I was so sad when I found out I couldn’t find it anywhere or had a way of playing it anymore. I thought the combat was extremely fun and I often would go into the training mode to just beat up people as Raph and Mikey. I personally really miss that game.
I personally loved out of shadows. I never had problems he did in video. I had it on xbox 360. Don and Raph were fun to be. When I play Raph and doc I did alot of countering and I loved power bombing with Raph lol. When u beat each stage unlock it in the arcade. When you go to arcade you play each level redesign in 2d and plays like old school turtles beat em up. Also turtles had trees and one is basicly team attacks for 2, 3, or all 4 turtles. Me and friend love doing Mikey and raph team attacks. I never stood hate for that game. We got so good we were grinding rails and in the shipyard jumping all over container while fighting. I won't lie though the learning curve is a bit steep. You really had to focus alot depending on what style you choose to do for each turtles. Like with Mikey when even I used him I just focus on combo's because he was much faster at it. Also Donny can make each turtle their own device in combat. I can't remember each turtles but Donny had a over size glove that can push back enemies and other stuff. Pretty raph had electric knuckles, I could be wrong.
The comment I was looking for. I hated that that cashgrab was popular while OOTS was almost universally dismissed even though those devs at least tried.
@@JeffZ1028 Why because you were unable to grasp that it was a remake of the ARCADE version and not the SNES version....It wasn't missing anything, those "missing" things were only in the SNES version.....It wasn't a cash grab nor was it "bad"....Not sure why "special" people have a hard time grasping that Ubisoft not Konami made it and they only had the OK to remake the arcade version.
@@lutherheggs451 No need to throw insults because we don't like the same game lol When hitting the enemy doesn't feel right anymore, yeah, they kinda messed up, they even managed to somehow mess up just moving your turtles around. If you cant nail that down in a beat em up, oof. Never said it was "missing" anything. The arcade and SNES play the same, only difference in gameplay are the turtles have slightly different stats and that you can manually do certain moves that would be automatic on the arcade version but gameplay wise, they do play the same.
Awesome video again! Love seein you touch up on these missing games. Any chance we get to see one for Transformers War for Cybertron and Transformers Fall for Cybertron? These two games were amazing and did a great job at giving fans an idea of how Cybertron and the war for it was by having us play through that very war. It would be amazing to see someone talk about these games again.
I Actually Enjoyed Out Of the Shadows And I Wouldn't Mind A More Gritty Ninja Turtles Game But I Understand That Your Opinion Is Different And I Respect It
Out Of The Shadows holds the title of "only major glitch I've seen" It was the final boss, like 1/3rd of the way through, Leo is the only one alive and I'm just running from Shredder like the 7 year old I was, then it clipped me and Shredder out of the map and into a textureless cave where neither of us took damage for a decent 2 minutes before it teleported us back, revived all my turtles, and did another 1/3rd of damage on shredder. I don't know how or why but it happened
I know everyone wants Arkham-esque TMNT games, but I wish we had a hyper-stylized side scroller beat'em up based on Rise of the TMNT. Or a TMNT fighting game.
Turtles in Time was also bonus content for 'tmnt mutant nightmare 3' , which was on 4 different consoles so realistically not a hard one to get but it can take some looking.
I'm so disappointed that Turtles In Time: Re-Shelled isn't available to play anymore. I loved that game, and used to play it with my friend, who currently lives 8 hours away. Luckily, I saw the trailer for Shredder's Revenge, and I can't express how happy it made me. I'm a HUGE fan of Beat-Em-Ups and TMNT. This game is PERFECT!! I'm also a huge fan of your content, and I'm glad you released this video, as I've always wondered why Turtles In Time: Re-Shelled disappeared. Thanks, Xavier!
TMNT Out of the shadow had great potential. The Arkham Style combat is something we all love in games like Spider-Man or Arkham Knight, plus the whole realistic style Tmnt for me fits very well with that style. If it weren't for the glitches and the bad controls, this game would have been awesome. I hope they make another one, provided they have more time and budget
I only disagree with the combat portion of tmnt ofts. It was difficult at first. But once I learned more combos it was way easier. It was actually fun making up my on combo chains and mixing it with the other turtles. You can switch and combo together back and fourth. Much better online though. One thing I absolutely hated about that game was the horrible net code. It wasn't the greatest game but it was really fun. Especially raph with his grapple combos. And the special move is actually supposed to either be clockwise or counterclockwise. It was weird though. Same with the L1 R2 revive. Weird
9:47 funfact: that April’s Jacket was first released in the 4th season of TMNT 2012,so if the game came out in 2013 then this is a huge spoiler from 1 year early the season 4 aired
@@mynameisunknown2771 it is a spoiler because that jacket was introduced almost at the same time April got her psychic powers (the powers were introduced at S2 but it wasn’t explained or developed until S4)
@@ldmcknight1042 you dude should learn definiton of spoiler. Just because she had that jacket in the game doesn't mean that we knew what pčot would be. It is an easter egg not a spoiler.
I SERIOUSLY want a big budget TMNT game with each turtle as its own story campaigne and play style that occasionally cross over. And beating each individual campaign would unlock a secret final boss in Super Shredder, Resident Evil 2 style.
@GodzillaMendoza I think you missed a key element of the TMNTs In Time Reshelled game, and it is that it is NOT a revamped version of the SNES game itself, but of the ARCADE original. The SNES game was the famous port of the Arcade game that expanded more levels and bosses that the Arcade had. You can look up the difference between the Arcade Turtles in Time compared with the SNES version and then the Reshelled and you will clearly see what I mean. Regardless, Turtles in Time was the best sequel to the first Original Arcade TMNTs game, which only got a port to the SNES game called TMNTs II the Arcade game. It deserved a SNES treatment too.
Honestly i loved out of the shadows because of the ideas and character they gave the turtles with their fighting styles with raph using muay thai and leo being able to jump over enemies shoulders
I know. it's flawed but I really like "TMNT: Out of the Shadow". It definitely needs polish but it honestly had a lot of potentials, It could have been the definitive 3D TMNT game. The Konami-style arcade mode was a blast too, I played with my brother and a couple of friends. That's the kind of game that I think it would have been awesome to see with mods. I'm sure the fans could have improved some of the mechanics but also one thing that I genuinely wasn't a big fan of in this game was the Turtles design. Imagine a mod that used the Injustice 2 Turtles model instead.
Nothing is more lazy than henchmen in a boss battle. Because the difficulty becomes less about the boss being a challenge and more about how many low level guys get in your way.
I'm curious as to why Turtles in Time reshelled had the volume up too loud. some of the voices and sound effects sounded like they were elevated past the point they were supposed to be. And the 3D aspect to it really didn't lend a whole lot. I remember buying it for my PS3 sometime ago and since then I've gotten rid of my PS3 but not really missed this particular game. So I'm pretty happy about that. Plus I have the originals to go back to anyway. Why would I need a lazily done polygon version of a game that I love?
What does "getting rid of THAT PS3" have to do with anything? The game is tied to your account, why the shit do people not grasp that...You own the game, You can literally go into your purchase history on that PSN account and download it to ANY PS3 that you wanted to....
I actually still have tmnt in time reshelled on my ps3 and I used to play it all the time when I was younger. I don't know why everyone hated it so much. I actually played the reshelled version before I played the classic one, so I was super surprised to find a retro version of the game I played all the time.
Out of the shadows was honestly fantastic! I am really getting tired of nostalgia bait tnmt games and oots while needing a lot of polish really was a nudge in the right direction
Out of the shadows was one of the best tmnt games at its core. Yes the camera was buggy. Yes the game is buggy. But it was 15 dollars... if u dislike this imagine paying full price for Mutants In Manhattan
I still have both on my ps3 system. And I’m glad I never deleted them. Reshelled is better than Out of The Shadows. But still beat to say you have both!
Because it would be too hard to find them in your purchase history to redownload them? You can literally delete and redownload any game you've purchased at any time on any system...They're not locked to one PS3....Sony and MS aren't Nintendo.
"Makes me think that I need to buy any and all games featuring a comic book character as quickly as possible before they're gone forever..." Dude, I have been screaming that from the rooftops for years! I hope one day sites like IGN finally start talking about what a problem this is for game preservation and the industry at large does something about it.
I imagine some day I'll be able to play them via emulation. I loved that version of Turtles in Time, and still have it saved on my PS3, but if I ever lose that copy I'm fucked. I know video game TH-camrs are supposed to all pretend emulation doesn't exist, but it's always the last failsafe to these games being totally lost. This is why I'm so against games going to an all-digital model: because I don't trust the sellers to keep these products available forever. And so far that mistrust has proven to be well founded.
I remember this one INSANELY good open-world Ninja Turtles game that nobody ever seems to talk about, granted I was younger and more naive so it might be worse than I remember, but it was pretty good either way and I don’t remember the name of it whatsoever.
No cap... "Out of the shadows" was easily the best 3D modern game of the series. If it was a full-fledged game and the creators touched up on the glitchy stuff, it would have been up there almost on the same level as the Batman Arkham games. They definitely have similar mechanics But TMNT couldn't show its full potential. I still enjoy playing out of the shadows and wish it came out for the PS4 and 5.
I would love to remaster TMNT Out of the Shadows someday and bring it back to Playstation! I sure as hell loved that game and it made me want to keep my Xbox 360 for a little while longer. Until the game was gone completely, so I sold the whole system and kept my Playstation. I still love watching the play through of this game, but I sure as hell miss playing it myself. When I graduate, I'm gonna definitely talk to some people about remastering the game.
TMNT: OotS was.. so.. almost.. amazing. The combat timing was not to the taste of a lot of people. They aped a lot of it the style from Arkham, but it didn't have the same flow. Also, it was tricky to pull off the "rotate the joystick x/x" moves. Still, I adored that game. Blazed through it with two bff's day one. I was the only one that kept going back to it though. I loved the way they distinguished the turtles from each other, physically. They actually felt different as opposed to pallette swaps. Donnie ftw. Anyone wanna jam on 360 let me know. Re-Shelled was all poopy for me. I loathed the 8 direction combat. It broke what didn't need fixing. SNES version is still my favorite. Command throws as opposed to random, picking colours for the turtles, dash and back attack? None of that in the arcade version. Didn't stop all the "purists" for whining for an arcade port, though. Also, sometimes less is more. Players, I mean.
Personally think Out of the Shadows is definitely a top 4 TMNT game. Number 1 from a martial arts perspective. 1. Shredder's Revenge 2A. Turtles in Time (SNES) 2B. Hyperstone Heist 4. Out of the Shadows
I’m so excited for shredders revenge! I remember I was only 5 years old playing with my older brother and my dad the ninja turtles beat em up remake on ps3. Can’t wait for the nostalgia!
Out of the Shadows I love even to this day; also, hands down my favorite look for the turtles ever. I don't wanna be an ass, but watching the gameplay here was painful. The game gives you so many options to completely dominate your opponents and the player didn't try a single one. Except maybe the specials. Re-shelled was a complete disappointment. Again, not trying to be mean, and I won't fault anyone for liking it, but to even imply it even comes to the SNES version, or even the arcade one... that's not an opinion, that's being objectively wrong.

Man. Out of the shadows had so much potential. With Gotham knights coming out... some developer should give it another shot.
I'm here waiting for the RPCS3 rom of the turtles in time re-shelled
What emulator is the RPCCS3?
@@antoniomontana2034 Is the ps3 emulator for PC
i have re-shelled on my ps3 never deleted it
Nopaystation google it bruh
@@ninjadude183 I will, thanks.
To "Out of the Shadows" credit, at least each turtle's fighting style was unique. It gave me a reason to switch between them -- leveling them up to see what other character specific move I'd unlock. Like Raph's spinebuster or Donnie's "make em dance" thing. Good stuff, unlike Platinum games take.
That and how Raph looked like a member of the locust horde.
Lol great comparison😂😂 Like a locust sniper. All the turtles look like memes or like the kinda creepy "Pokémon if it was real" videos from like 2015
@@DanTheManWFE Creepy? Try nightmare fuel. That's why I won't watch Detective Pikachu.
I remember when out of the shadows dropped, still have it installed on my 360. I loved it as a kid and I’ve been wanting to jump back in for nostalgia sake.
I remember playing out of the shadows and thinking it was badass.. Maybe I have to power up my ps3 and give it another shot.. I remember the combat being super fun and once you get the hang of it making you feel like you're unstoppable and the traversal in the levels always felt so true to the turtles
5:50 James Avery is the Best Shredder Voice Actor and that is by fact
Rest In Peace...
Out of the Shadows was fantastic. Yes it had some glitches but the second you got the fighting down, it was lots of fun with each turtle. Upgrading wasn’t as tedious as some other games either. Plus it came with a 2D best em up within it.
Man back when I was younger I wanted the ‘07 TMNT tie-in game so badly! I remember trying to rent it every weekend. I didn’t want to ask my parents for another game, It never showed up at the Hollywood Video that was still standing at the time. Talk about a throwback.
I still got the Mutants In Manhattan game from Steam... Platinum Action Game TMNT. Why they pulled that, plus Korra and Transformers from digital stores, I'll never understand.
I got mutants in Manhattan from amazon
Because their license ran out
The company who made them lost the rights to those licenses and cant legally sell them anymore
I have that game too. It’s fun
mutants of manhattan was a missed opportunity for platinum games in my opinion because i was expecting it to play like transformers devastation.
since i love tmnt i looked beyond the poor execution of the game and enjoyed it. still, cannot shake the feeling how it could've played better with a little of transformers devastation's system.
It honestly hurt me when you just roasted tmnt out of the shadows that was a game I played and I loved it.
Strange, I remember having a ton of fun with Out of the Shadows. I don't even remember it being all that buggy, but then again I was like twelve when I last played it lol. I should try it again soon to check.
out of the shadows gameplay was so cool.... separating kicks and weapon attacks to different buttons is genius.... parkour was cool too...... hopefully the new tmnt game last ronin is a step up of this one
I actually still have Re-shelled on my PS3 right now lol. This is why I am a strong supporter of physical media though.
Yeah, despite the critical panning, I still wanted to give it a try
5:33 Tokka and Razhar were actually in the 87 cartoon. Not weird at all. Luckily for me I got both Turtles in Time Reshelled and Out of the Shadows on the Xbox 360 when they first got released.
It's a good thing I never took TMNT Out of the Shadows off my hard dive on my ps3 . Regardless how people felt about that game in my opinion its one of my favorites they have the classic tag team moves from off the 80,s movies. that another reason why I like out of the Shadows so much
Honestly, I remember really enjoying TMNT OOTS. I was so sad when I found out I couldn’t find it anywhere or had a way of playing it anymore. I thought the combat was extremely fun and I often would go into the training mode to just beat up people as Raph and Mikey. I personally really miss that game.
Man, Out of the Shadows makes the 2007 TMNT game look like a master peace.
Dang that savage
2007 game is a masterpiece
The 2007 game was so hard for me back then 😭
I personally loved out of shadows. I never had problems he did in video. I had it on xbox 360. Don and Raph were fun to be. When I play Raph and doc I did alot of countering and I loved power bombing with Raph lol. When u beat each stage unlock it in the arcade. When you go to arcade you play each level redesign in 2d and plays like old school turtles beat em up. Also turtles had trees and one is basicly team attacks for 2, 3, or all 4 turtles. Me and friend love doing Mikey and raph team attacks. I never stood hate for that game. We got so good we were grinding rails and in the shipyard jumping all over container while fighting. I won't lie though the learning curve is a bit steep. You really had to focus alot depending on what style you choose to do for each turtles. Like with Mikey when even I used him I just focus on combo's because he was much faster at it. Also Donny can make each turtle their own device in combat. I can't remember each turtles but Donny had a over size glove that can push back enemies and other stuff. Pretty raph had electric knuckles, I could be wrong.
You should look at the GBA tie in game to the 2007 movie. Honestly the best TMNT game ever made
Tmnt oots was one of my favorite games.If it got remastered it would probably be the best tmnt game
not being able to play reshelled is a blessing, no one should have to suffer that experience.
The comment I was looking for. I hated that that cashgrab was popular while OOTS was almost universally dismissed even though those devs at least tried.
@@JeffZ1028 Why because you were unable to grasp that it was a remake of the ARCADE version and not the SNES version....It wasn't missing anything, those "missing" things were only in the SNES version.....It wasn't a cash grab nor was it "bad"....Not sure why "special" people have a hard time grasping that Ubisoft not Konami made it and they only had the OK to remake the arcade version.
@@lutherheggs451 No need to throw insults because we don't like the same game lol When hitting the enemy doesn't feel right anymore, yeah, they kinda messed up, they even managed to somehow mess up just moving your turtles around. If you cant nail that down in a beat em up, oof. Never said it was "missing" anything. The arcade and SNES play the same, only difference in gameplay are the turtles have slightly different stats and that you can manually do certain moves that would be automatic on the arcade version but gameplay wise, they do play the same.
I don't know if this is controversial but the Out Of The Shadow video game design for the turtles are my favorite designs for the turtles
Awesome video again! Love seein you touch up on these missing games. Any chance we get to see one for Transformers War for Cybertron and Transformers Fall for Cybertron? These two games were amazing and did a great job at giving fans an idea of how Cybertron and the war for it was by having us play through that very war. It would be amazing to see someone talk about these games again.
I like War for Cybertron more than the Fall one.
I still have both of those. I wish PS4 was backwards compatible at least
Hating on out of the shadows is a sin. By far my favorite tmnt game to play but I can’t anymore
I Actually Enjoyed Out Of the Shadows And I Wouldn't Mind A More Gritty Ninja Turtles Game But I Understand That Your Opinion Is Different And I Respect It
Out Of The Shadows holds the title of "only major glitch I've seen" It was the final boss, like 1/3rd of the way through, Leo is the only one alive and I'm just running from Shredder like the 7 year old I was, then it clipped me and Shredder out of the map and into a textureless cave where neither of us took damage for a decent 2 minutes before it teleported us back, revived all my turtles, and did another 1/3rd of damage on shredder. I don't know how or why but it happened
Still waiting for TAS retrospective
I know everyone wants Arkham-esque TMNT games, but I wish we had a hyper-stylized side scroller beat'em up based on Rise of the TMNT. Or a TMNT fighting game.
Shadows had so much potential and looked fantastic in the previews.
Turtles in Time was also bonus content for 'tmnt mutant nightmare 3' , which was on 4 different consoles so realistically not a hard one to get but it can take some looking.
We need an Arkham City style TMNT game.
Yeah they shouldn't be creative and do something fresh, they should copy a playstyle of a game about more interesting characters than talking turtles.
@@greasycheese9050 your sarcasm is horrible
@@pimpkin9708 sarcasm is like a type of food in the menu of the comedy, everyone gets it, but some people don't like it.
isn't that exactly what out of the shadows is
@@greasycheese9050 no I love sarcasm just his was kinda dumb
I'm so disappointed that Turtles In Time: Re-Shelled isn't available to play anymore. I loved that game, and used to play it with my friend, who currently lives 8 hours away. Luckily, I saw the trailer for Shredder's Revenge, and I can't express how happy it made me. I'm a HUGE fan of Beat-Em-Ups and TMNT. This game is PERFECT!! I'm also a huge fan of your content, and I'm glad you released this video, as I've always wondered why Turtles In Time: Re-Shelled disappeared. Thanks, Xavier!
TMNT Out of the shadow had great potential. The Arkham Style combat is something we all love in games like Spider-Man or Arkham Knight, plus the whole realistic style Tmnt for me fits very well with that style. If it weren't for the glitches and the bad controls, this game would have been awesome. I hope they make another one, provided they have more time and budget
I only disagree with the combat portion of tmnt ofts. It was difficult at first. But once I learned more combos it was way easier. It was actually fun making up my on combo chains and mixing it with the other turtles. You can switch and combo together back and fourth. Much better online though. One thing I absolutely hated about that game was the horrible net code. It wasn't the greatest game but it was really fun. Especially raph with his grapple combos. And the special move is actually supposed to either be clockwise or counterclockwise. It was weird though. Same with the L1 R2 revive. Weird
9:47 funfact: that April’s Jacket was first released in the 4th season of TMNT 2012,so if the game came out in 2013 then this is a huge spoiler from 1 year early the season 4 aired
How is a jacket a spoiler. Wtf
@@mynameisunknown2771 it is a spoiler because that jacket was introduced almost at the same time April got her psychic powers (the powers were introduced at S2 but it wasn’t explained or developed until S4)
@@ldmcknight1042 you dude should learn definiton of spoiler. Just because she had that jacket in the game doesn't mean that we knew what pčot would be. It is an easter egg not a spoiler.
Bugs aside, Out of the shadows is more about combat than anything.
And it was so beautiful, I love how they each played so differently
I SERIOUSLY want a big budget TMNT game with each turtle as its own story campaigne and play style that occasionally cross over. And beating each individual campaign would unlock a secret final boss in Super Shredder, Resident Evil 2 style.
Facts no arcade type bullshit i just a full fledge triple a tmnt game with a good story
You should talk about Mutants in Manhattan
Out of the Shadows have my favorite designs for the Turtles. It’s what the modern live action films should’ve done.
I still have Out of the Shadows downloaded to my 360.
Can I have ur acc plz I rlly wanna play it
I will pay u 25$ for u acc foe a week
Plzzzz
@@sheen9906 you seem like...a strange man...
@@thepillowhead2453 like I would likely kill someone for this game
Stuff like this is the reason that physical media must NEVER die out!
This video brought back memories of out of the shadows. I would like a game similar to this but with way more polish.
@GodzillaMendoza I think you missed a key element of the TMNTs In Time Reshelled game, and it is that it is NOT a revamped version of the SNES game itself, but of the ARCADE original. The SNES game was the famous port of the Arcade game that expanded more levels and bosses that the Arcade had. You can look up the difference between the Arcade Turtles in Time compared with the SNES version and then the Reshelled and you will clearly see what I mean. Regardless, Turtles in Time was the best sequel to the first Original Arcade TMNTs game, which only got a port to the SNES game called TMNTs II the Arcade game. It deserved a SNES treatment too.
Honestly i loved out of the shadows because of the ideas and character they gave the turtles with their fighting styles with raph using muay thai and leo being able to jump over enemies shoulders
I can totally still play out of the shadows.
Pretty much all of them, right?
I know. it's flawed but I really like "TMNT: Out of the Shadow". It definitely needs polish but it honestly had a lot of potentials, It could have been the definitive 3D TMNT game. The Konami-style arcade mode was a blast too, I played with my brother and a couple of friends.
That's the kind of game that I think it would have been awesome to see with mods. I'm sure the fans could have improved some of the mechanics but also one thing that I genuinely wasn't a big fan of in this game was the Turtles design. Imagine a mod that used the Injustice 2 Turtles model instead.
Nothing is more lazy than henchmen in a boss battle. Because the difficulty becomes less about the boss being a challenge and more about how many low level guys get in your way.
shame Out of the Shadows didn't do well. An Arkham style Turtles game would be amazing! It's a perfect fit honestly
I will always say out of the shadows it's the best TMNT game I have played in a very long time it was like I was playing the 90s movie
@@DC.IWarDance cool
I'm curious as to why Turtles in Time reshelled had the volume up too loud. some of the voices and sound effects sounded like they were elevated past the point they were supposed to be. And the 3D aspect to it really didn't lend a whole lot. I remember buying it for my PS3 sometime ago and since then I've gotten rid of my PS3 but not really missed this particular game. So I'm pretty happy about that. Plus I have the originals to go back to anyway. Why would I need a lazily done polygon version of a game that I love?
What does "getting rid of THAT PS3" have to do with anything? The game is tied to your account, why the shit do people not grasp that...You own the game, You can literally go into your purchase history on that PSN account and download it to ANY PS3 that you wanted to....
I actually still have tmnt in time reshelled on my ps3 and I used to play it all the time when I was younger. I don't know why everyone hated it so much. I actually played the reshelled version before I played the classic one, so I was super surprised to find a retro version of the game I played all the time.
Out of the shadows was honestly fantastic!
I am really getting tired of nostalgia bait tnmt games and oots while needing a lot of polish really was a nudge in the right direction
Out of the shadows was one of the best tmnt games at its core. Yes the camera was buggy. Yes the game is buggy. But it was 15 dollars... if u dislike this imagine paying full price for Mutants In Manhattan
I still have Turtles in Time reshelled and also I have X-Men arcade 1992 on 360 and I have Turtles in Time on the Super NES
The turtle designs in this game are like if the TMNT 2012 show was a live action movie which I really like the idea of.
I acttualy still have TMNT out of the shadows still on my ps3
It's hacked for downloads
I still have both on my ps3 system. And I’m glad I never deleted them. Reshelled is better than Out of The Shadows. But still beat to say you have both!
Because it would be too hard to find them in your purchase history to redownload them? You can literally delete and redownload any game you've purchased at any time on any system...They're not locked to one PS3....Sony and MS aren't Nintendo.
@@lutherheggs451 awesome!
Tokka and Rahzar are in the cartoon as well as the second movie. Its a late episode I think.
They were in one episode of the cartoon
"Makes me think that I need to buy any and all games featuring a comic book character as quickly as possible before they're gone forever..."
Dude, I have been screaming that from the rooftops for years! I hope one day sites like IGN finally start talking about what a problem this is for game preservation and the industry at large does something about it.
Just wanna say I absolutely love those intros.
I used to love TMNT smash up on the Wii. It was so fun to play pretty much just a smash clone with the TMNT cgi movie characters
I imagine some day I'll be able to play them via emulation. I loved that version of Turtles in Time, and still have it saved on my PS3, but if I ever lose that copy I'm fucked.
I know video game TH-camrs are supposed to all pretend emulation doesn't exist, but it's always the last failsafe to these games being totally lost.
This is why I'm so against games going to an all-digital model: because I don't trust the sellers to keep these products available forever. And so far that mistrust has proven to be well founded.
I remember this one INSANELY good open-world Ninja Turtles game that nobody ever seems to talk about, granted I was younger and more naive so it might be worse than I remember, but it was pretty good either way and I don’t remember the name of it whatsoever.
Dude out of the shadows was one of the coolest games I’ve ever played
No cap... "Out of the shadows" was easily the best 3D modern game of the series. If it was a full-fledged game and the creators touched up on the glitchy stuff, it would have been up there almost on the same level as the Batman Arkham games. They definitely have similar mechanics But TMNT couldn't show its full potential. I still enjoy playing out of the shadows and wish it came out for the PS4 and 5.
where can I find it ?
@@Jjjj-bc9kt Sadly it was only downloadable contact for the PS3
is there anyway that we can gameshare on ps3 and I could play it lmaoo 🤷🏽♂️!
But always love your videos just great and the streams are very entertaining, keep up the amazing work
I would love to remaster TMNT Out of the Shadows someday and bring it back to Playstation! I sure as hell loved that game and it made me want to keep my Xbox 360 for a little while longer. Until the game was gone completely, so I sold the whole system and kept my Playstation. I still love watching the play through of this game, but I sure as hell miss playing it myself. When I graduate, I'm gonna definitely talk to some people about remastering the game.
So glad I got OOTS when it was available. Still lots of fun, despite some bugs
You still got the game i do
TMNT: OotS was.. so.. almost.. amazing.
The combat timing was not to the taste of a lot of people. They aped a lot of it the style from Arkham, but it didn't have the same flow. Also, it was tricky to pull off the "rotate the joystick x/x" moves. Still, I adored that game. Blazed through it with two bff's day one. I was the only one that kept going back to it though. I loved the way they distinguished the turtles from each other, physically. They actually felt different as opposed to pallette swaps. Donnie ftw. Anyone wanna jam on 360 let me know.
Re-Shelled was all poopy for me. I loathed the 8 direction combat. It broke what didn't need fixing. SNES version is still my favorite. Command throws as opposed to random, picking colours for the turtles, dash and back attack? None of that in the arcade version. Didn't stop all the "purists" for whining for an arcade port, though. Also, sometimes less is more. Players, I mean.
out of the shadows fighting system makes it my favorite tmnt game
Wow, I actually read that Spider-Man book 2 years ago! Great book!
Btw, this is a very well done video. Good stuff!
Personally think Out of the Shadows is definitely a top 4 TMNT game. Number 1 from a martial arts perspective.
1. Shredder's Revenge
2A. Turtles in Time (SNES)
2B. Hyperstone Heist
4. Out of the Shadows
out of the shadows is actually top tier...playing with raph was perfect.
Out of the shadows hit different and I still have it
My boy made a fan comic and I'm barely learning about it?!
Link is in the description!
@@GodzillaMendoza Bro that's all you need to say!
I’m so excited for shredders revenge! I remember I was only 5 years old playing with my older brother and my dad the ninja turtles beat em up remake on ps3. Can’t wait for the nostalgia!
Out of the Shadows I love even to this day; also, hands down my favorite look for the turtles ever. I don't wanna be an ass, but watching the gameplay here was painful. The game gives you so many options to completely dominate your opponents and the player didn't try a single one. Except maybe the specials.
Re-shelled was a complete disappointment. Again, not trying to be mean, and I won't fault anyone for liking it, but to even imply it even comes to the SNES version, or even the arcade one... that's not an opinion, that's being objectively wrong.
I've played TMNT OOTS a dozen times! Love it
where can I find it ?
