I am the modeler and original rigger for all of the guns in Black. I cannot express enough of my thanks for making the video. It was by far my hardest project simply because Crit made rush decisions to go for the PS2 release even though we had development kits for impending console releases. Crit also mirrored my work, they emphasized animations and yes you are right, if it didnt test well (even though it was realistic) it was scrapped. I did almost 40 revisions of rigging and animators made thousands of changes. It became almost comical. Still, they paid well, I was serving in the US Army at the time and those guns are all based on a different operation flashpoint collection years before (Also made by me). Criterion didnt do anything badly that games arent doing today, and dont take this has a dig on Mike or Richard. We tried to rally the troops for a Black 2 360/ps3 release and the test level and new engine were the best of the entire genre. But I think everyone remembers the franchise domination that came to be. Criterion was purchased simply because they pioneered mocap outside of a dedicated studio environment and it ran on non specialized adobe software. Cheers guys.
Thanks for your hard work. Playing Black as a little kid was one of the best fps experiences I ever had.
i always wanted black 2
@@MR.McMahon We all did. At least we got the first game. I still have it for the ps2.
Thank you for making my childhood happier, you're incredible.
You were a part of something magical and eternally remembered.
I remember being blown away by how good black looked for a ps2 game
Same, it still looks good today but side by side with other games of it's vintage it was absolutely amazing. Younger people might not have the same understanding of it but those of us who remember when this game first came out know how incredible it looked! Things we take for granted on a lot of modern games like those reload animations were something we hadn't seen before to nearly this degree.
@@Mr9Guns Sony pushed for Killzone as a sort of response to Halo, but in comparison to Black, it looks like a game that came out at the start of the gen, it looks unimpressive, animations have no weight and it's not nearly as interactable, all that with worse performance.
@@nisnast Yeah I'd agree with that. Killzone was a good game but Black was a truly spectacular one.
@@Mr9Guns Killzone was fun, I liked the multiplayer, but yeah, Black was better
Black is the only video game me and my late step dad played to get. He'd never touched a controller before, didn't understand the other games but Black? He loved it. He would ask me after dinner once or twice a week for months to sit down and play the second level of black. I cherish that moment and likely will forever
as a man who just lost his pops, this made me smile. thank you
That's beautiful
Thanks for that memory
yup. another dime a dozen youtuber comment posting his personal life story and NoStAlGiA memory about a deceased parent/family member.
@@ian.swift.31614 you're a proper weirdo 😂
Finally, some Black appreciation.
As a black guy that’s knows this has nothing to do with race just know I approve
@@dayytonafox8373 I was waiting for that pun. You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.
As are you.^
Must be February. 🤔
I feel like there's a whole month for that
I played that last mission about a 100 times to the point where me and my buddy were speed running it and it never got fucking old.
I feel so privileged to have found your channel so early. Unironically one of the greatest video essay\game reviewer channels on the platform. Wishing success for you brother
same, I was shocked at how high the quality of the content is compared to the subscriber count, 18.1k at the time of writing this, watch this space I reckon.
Mantras give me that CHAD profile pic 😊😊😊😊
His an amalgamation akin to Ahoy, nakey jakey, etc format, but with his own touches for different set locations which keeps it entertaining. Wild he hasn't been a million sub/view channel
Sean Murray, lead dev of No Man's Sky, was part of the team making Black, as well as the Burnout games. Just wanted to share that in case some would like to know ~
FUN
No I'm not happy about that
That man is a degenerate scammer regardless of how good NMS is now, that situation was so bad I'll never forgive or forget
Isnt that the same guy who made CoD World at War's Soundtrack
I remember Black vividly, when I was younger I played it for what had to have been hours just shooting things, seeing what is and isn't destrctible in what to me seemed like a world built for destruction.
I also remember me and a pal would make fun of how serious it was at times randomly throughout the day due to how out of character the cutscenes are to the actual game.
also we need bloopers complilation after that final clip lol
I remember this being the first FPS that got me into the genre. It was, at the time, visually pretty stunning and easy to just pick up and play.
Black is the one PS2 title I really miss. It was the first title to allow you to blow up pretty much everything and not just the handful of objects you needed to progress. I loved it.
This game singlehandedly created my insane love for reloading guns as a kid and I still love it to this day. As a kid i played this game over and over again simply because it was just such a satisfying game to play
we lived the same childhood
Black will always be one of my favorite games because it was one of my first. Graphics were absolutely incredible for the time.
same for me
I still remember the Asylum level: when you first enter, it is quiet apart from distant echoes and it was one of the best atmospheric game moments I have ever known...
How did I not know that Criterion was a Cannon subsidiary? I always learn something from your work. Just another bit of proof that you are criminally underexposed.
Edit: Also, I've said it before but I've gotta say something again.... Your editing is freaking glorious. The effects, graphics, transitions,😅 composition, color grading and other techniques I don't understand come together with your beautiful filming to make absolutely gorgeous 😂
Shut up ukraine fanboy
Same I was like !?!?!?? I've only known them as far as being with EA
You look like Winter Soldier in the thumbnail :D
Great video as always! I hope this channel will get to 1mln soon cause it deserves it!
Black shows how far you can go with a simple premise. I think the campaign couldve been at least another 3 hours long. But when every other game is trying to be more and more intricate with detailed envronmental interactions, Black shows us that, when done well, simply shooting and blowing up everything in sight is all you need for a fun game.
Just look at Battlebit remastered. It's got the most simple graphics and incredibly destructive environments, and is built on the premise of making a fun, large scale, multiplayer battlefield. Supposed 'experts' were saying it'd never sell and it's now topping the steam charts.
where are these "supposed 'experts' "
"Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important," John Carmack when speaking of Story's value to Doom. Criterion simply followed in id's footsteps making a game engine and games that relied on technical design and fun game loops to keep players engaged.
That's a terribly dismissive and reductive quote. Carmack doesn't even like video-games.
@ark1048 The Last of Us would like a word, and after that, You have a meeting with The Walking Dead Lee & Clem Saga, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Disco Elysium, and Red Dead.
@@stickemup1275 I KNOW! That's my whole point, the Carmack quote is honestly horrible. It's completely dismissive of the genre and capabilities of video-games, and again, it goes to show how Carmack straight up doesn't even like video-games.
That's like that stupid miyamoto quote about a rushed game. He's been proven time and time again to be false. The carmack quote is just amusing because of how wrong and badly it aged. Not long after he said that, we started getting games like Metal Gear Solid
Everybody replying to this denying its truthfulness should read a book instead
Remember finally deciding to play this game. It’s crazy that I almost missed such a good game.
It was mindblowing back then when it was released, the ending fight was insane.
Fun Fact - There is actually one attainable med-kit on Black Ops mode, in the Nazran Town level. It's hidden under rubble inside a demolished building just after you leave the trenches.
If you've found it - you've truly played BLACK. If you haven't...keep playing.
Just found out about your channel and was confused to see the low subscribers count along side this crazy high value production! I’m definitely waiting for the next video essay!
PS: I was only able to buy one game per year when I was little, Black was one of my choices, played it till exhaustion, to this day I consider it to be the best FPS to ever exist.
Black is such a great game. I've played it many, many times. So nice to see it being talked about.
When I discuss old games with my friends, I always mention "Black" as one of the most advanced and graphically stunning games. I'm glad someone is giving it the appreciation it deserves
Gotta thank the TH-cam algorithm for recommending me this. Loved playing Black on the PS2. Couldn't afford games that often so usually rented games from the local game store. When I saw it on the shelf I was immediately drawn to it. What a great experience it was getting to play that game. It cemented itself in my memory for being quite a spectacle in my young mind. Fast forward to the present , Me now owning an Xbox One and seeing Black got on the backwards compatibility list for Xbox I immediately went to the Microsoft store and I bought it. Even without the Nostalgia goggles, Black is still an incredibly fun game to play. Now seeing this video on it and learning new info about it makes me want to redownload it and try to 100% it
this video is the only reminder i've ever had in my life that air blade wasn't just a fever dream I had as a 15 year old.
This was amazingly put together, written, and acted! Amazing work!
The thing is: in Black, you don't matter, the story is just a formality, and every enemy and mission is just a set piece for the REAL protagonists: *THE GUNS*
That's why they're in the title card, in the menu, why you zone out of everything when you reload, why it's such a huge event when you switch to the second one or find a new one: GUNS are frontline and center in this game, and the visual and audio feedback you receive from using them is as addictive as any frug out there
I remember playing once, mag dumping the M249 SAW into a room, and my brother walked right pass me while blasting the audio almost to the max and asked me "damn, what the hell is that thing even firing? Hammers?". And yes, it felt like almost no other game has done ever since
I love finding great Tubers early on! Keep up the quality, and never let the haters or the algorithm determine what you make! Do what you love!
I remember when I got this game on PS2 from like a box of miscellaneous used games, I've never heard of it before and my mind was blown how good the graphics looked, this looks like mid Xbox 360 lifespan game not PS2/og Xbox game. Details on the weapons and lighting were unmatched at the time. Fun game and now its in Game Pass on Xbox Series X so you can replay it in all its glory.
I remember being hugely impressed by this game. A shooter by an unknown developer that just came out of no where. The visuals and gameplay alone were enough for replay value
Oh my God. Your production quality is insane. I hope your channel blows up. I'll be proud to have been since your pre-20k days!
First time watching one of your videos and the production quality it fantastic keep it up man
thank you, thank you!
Holy shit man, what a fantastic production. Congrats on everything.
Being immersed in video games and tech all my life but then learning Canon was the founder of Criterion just blew my fuckin mind, and for that - me learning a somewhat obscure fact yet again in one of your videos - you earned a sub today. Something I never thought I wouldlearn but there it is man. Black is one of my all-time favorite games, thanks for giving it some new exposure dude.
Cant describe excitement i feel when you post a new video. Your work is incredible man keep being awesome
Do my eyes deceive me? An ace combat mention slipped in? now this I gotta hear your thoughts on
👀
Fucking hell i gotta thank the algorithm for putting this in my recommendation tab, black was so underrated man, i remember talking about it to my friends in school back in 2010 and got them hooked on it. Still to this day i find the graphics way better than some triple A games coming out.
Timm is just someone who fucking *gets* it. Nails on heads for literal days man. I love your analysis and your enthusiasm is infectious!
100/10 out-fucking-standing.
this was really well done, amazing work.
Holy shit your editing is beyond phenomenal. I’m just in awe
You are gonna go far my friend. Keep it up!
This has to be the most visually appealing editing that I’ve seen in a game review. The fact that you in detail kept to the review’s thematics and explained what made each aspect of the game an outlier of the typical FPS was also very good to hear about, most shooters are as described by you to be accurate to that stereotypical approach, while playing Black myself made me realize that even just pressing a single button was enough to keep me engaged with it.
Black is like the purest of FEARs and Resident Evil 4s gunplay and the latter game's self awareness compressed into a block of ice that maybe melts after a while but winter will be back.
Found ‘em. This is the next big channel, guys.
I love how the Uzi just ejects the mag like its an m1 garand
Another title worth reloading in 2023. Thanks for the story, like your style - subscribing
The quality of this video is insane. I can't even imagine the dozens of hours this must of took. Also that close up shot of yourself in the front seat of the toy car was incredible.
This deserves a lot more love. The video was great, from start to finish.
The production value is amazing for a channel this small! How does this guy not have 2 million subs allready?
This is the first time I've ever seen a video made about this game in recommended and it really deserves more. By far one of if not the best shooter ever made! We need a reboot!
That outro gave me goosebumps great job man fr!
the cemetary level of Black is one of my all-time gaming moments. grabbing cover behind the gravestones with the sun blinding your vision, bullets whizzing past and tearing down your cover.. man, on a PS2 that was something on a whole other level.
Bro the editing had no need to be this clean, this stylistic, this well done. Congrats on covering a great game through a beautiful video essay
I always wondered why they didn't made a Black 2 but now i still do, thanks.
One of the best fps games, even still to this day.
im glad to have found you before you blew up this much. i found you 2 weeks ago and love your videos. seeing everyone flock to you and blow up your channel is amazing. keep up the good work.
Yo this video quality crazy asf I love this I hope you blow soon
Keep going man, your content is great
This is the second of your videos that i've watched. The first was the ace combat video. I loved how you did that one. This one convinced me to subscribe. I used to have Black for PS2. I spent so much time playing that game when it first came out. Had to convince my mother to be present with me when i bought it. I was 15 at the time, flippin burgers for a local Dairy Queen.
Grew up on the PS2, and AC5 was my introduction to Ace Combat. The PS2 era of gaming was a special time for me
Holy hell, I'm subbing just for the editing. Good god, man.
Oh wow, your content is great. Your production quality!
I was waiting for someone to make a video about Black! I loved the interactivity in that game! Superb!
These are some of the best edited and produced videos I've seen on the platform
Such a well-made production respect to everybody involved the springs TH-cam gaming coverage to a whole new level.
This video had some of the best animated graphics I’ve ever seen in a video game retrospective. Had me glued to the video the entire way
the way you present the game is unmatched, insta sub and liked
Instantly subbed. The video is well made, editing and cinematics are just as good as big corpos journalism video, easily understanable material, the script is near perfection, sectioning is a nice touch for those who can't watch it all in one sitting (like me), and the detail is really amazing.
In another words, can't wait for another video essay you made. Bravo.
I loved this game back then and I still do, and to find someone else who loves it too maybe even more than I do it feels good, thank you.
Incredible video! I'm going to have to watch more of your stuff!
This was great story telling and so well put together! I never got around to playing lack but I loved the concept. So many good games on PS2 that never continued.
That last line hit DEEP ❤ great video keep it up
good to see a recent video about my favorite game of all time
dude your editing is CRAZY for how small ur channel is GOD DAMN-
Damn, the production value here is insane! Love your stuff! ❤❤❤
Another amazing gaming channel, glad this come up in my recommended ❤
Im amazed at the quality of this video. You couldnt have done any better in my opinion. Needless to say when i viewed ur subscriber count after watching this vid, i was shocked. The quality, made me assume u had over a million or at least a few hundred thousand subscribers. You keep this up, u will surpass these subscriber count milestones, i promise u.
Excellent work really
I saw the thumbnail and i straight up thought this was gonna be a video about the winter soldier xD
Great video though, keep up the good work!
Some scoundrel has replaced the "M" with a "K" after your 18.8 subscribers lol. The actual definition of criminally undersubbed my brother. The skill and passion is evident in every frame. Well done lad. EDIT: that last bit with the angry tripod 😂😭👌
Bring me back to the early 2000s. Man, those were a good times back then.
That edit at the end where the gunshots morphed into the background music was the final straw in making me subscribe. Looking forward to more.
Thank you for this fantastic video.
This man needs an oscar for his god level editing
Another masterpiece Timmm. Congrats on 10k
thank you!
This feels like watching the start of a new video essay figure and im all here for it.
I love the loner patch from STALKER on the arm in the opening cinematic.
The shot of you in the car was epic. Subscribed.
Subscribed in the first couple minutes. I can tell this will be quality content.
BLACK was such a cool game. Burnout 3 + Revenge were awesome as well.
It's always a good day when there's a timmm upload
I remember when Black launched, everyone was hyped af but I didn't buy it until around 2009, I found it good albeit lacking the polish that even the PS2 CODs had and maybe I was already spoiled by the new generation but still, there was a one liner about the game in some old EGM magazine I had that I believe describes it perfectly: "Black: More gray than black"
What a fantastic video! I learned so much. Black has always stuck in my mind as a uniquely artful shooter. I don't mean it is artistic, though it is, but that it truly captured fun like almost no other shooter can. It was beautiful and it does hold up well. I remember spending so much time shooting each letter off a street sign just because. I forgot it was by Criterion, but it makes so much sense. Burnout: Revenge is one of my favorite car games ever and for the exact same reasons. It was uniquely beautiful and just plain fun. I don't usually like arcade racers or arcade shooters. These two games are total exceptions. It all adds up. If anyone hasn't played through Black on hardest difficulty, they're missing out. Fantastic challenge. Thanks!
This is insanely good content....keep up the work!
Great game, great editing, great presentation... Im happy
Bro I just get happy looking at the editing and graphic design of this video alone, KEEP THIS SHIT UP MAN THIS BLEW OFF MY PANTALOONS
You will go a great distance brother. Absolutely stunning lightwork,editing and videography.
Black has been and continues to be the best first person shooter I’ve ever played. It’s time that there’s a remastered version released
Here before the million subs! This video was a freaking joy to watch!
Wow that sure a video about a game I never played but always wanted to and now I want even more.
Amazing editing and storytelling.
I enjoyed your intro! keep working on your editing skills you have some talent!
Gotdayum. More people need to see this video. I lived that game! Unfortunately I lost all my psx/2 consoles and collections in a storage unit years ago when I was homeless.
