@@amelyalilyorme1247 Looks like it was only used for a couple of racers early on, though, and been used for several shooters and the Bionic Commando platformer remake since then, so it's not like they took an engine _specifically_ designed for racers and tried to make heist shooter from it.
Two games I thought for sure I would see on this list, but didn't, were "3D Dot Game Heroes", a top-down Legend of Zelda clone made by FromSoftworks, and "Split-Second", an extreme destruction style racing game made by Disney. Great list though, guys!
I'm not sure how you managed to feature Rockstar Games in a list of weird games from developers (known for other things) and DIDN'T find a spot for "Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis", but you did it.
Cookie and Cream was the first FromSoft game I've ever played, and as a result, how I first heard of FromSoft. I remember it being really difficult, but had fun playing it with my sister.
Still seems to crazy to me that naughty dog made crash bandicoot a family friendly platformer and many years later the last of us a violent mature adult zombie game, such a a change in game style
Well the big bucks did move away from those games around mid 2000’s, so it made sense for the position they were in. And Speaking of TT/Warner, they more or less consolidated the rest of that kid friendly market, until Activision did their rare innovation, and started Skylanders.
Rockstar's Table Tennis is more odd IMO. After 3 banger GTAs on PS2, they made a damn table tennis game so they could get a hang of what the next-gen was able to do, as a warm up for GTA4
Oni, developed by Bungie, most known for the Halo franchise Mirror's Edge, developed by DICE, most known for the Battlefield franchise Way of the Warrior, developed by Naughty Dog, most known for the Uncharted, The Last of Us, Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter franchises
I love how Ben refuses to let go of his roots from his time at WhatCulture the random Simon Miller references are the highlight of his TripleJump videos I guess you could it a legendary running joke for legends #LEGENDARYRUNNINGJOKEFORLEGENDS
Cookie and Cream is all fun and games until you realise the two players are sharing one controller and it is viciously difficult! Fantastic little game, but up there with Mario Party in terms of shouting at your mate on the sofa. While they’re squished up against you and your hands are touching.
Just in case it goes doesn’t get recognized: I absolutely ADORE the “if you wanna get ? about this” parts Please keep them in circulation, I have a lot of laughs from that
Was expecting Rockstar’s Table Tennis. It was designed to showcase their new animation engine, Euphoria. Since then, nearly all of its titles had one of the best rag doll physics in the gaming industry.
R* North were also originally DMA Design, the people who made Lemmings. If you want something weird (assuming you think Lemmings is NOT weird), they also made Hired Guns, which was a first-person SF RPG where you controlled all 4 players at once, each with their own viewpoint window. Then there's Activision. They have Little Computer People in their back-history; since they bought Infocom, they also can trace back to Leather Goddesses of Phobos, a text adventure where "hump" was a verb. Probably too risque for TH-cam though.
A lot of the "famous developers" on the list merely ported a game that had already been developed by someone else to another system. Maybe they just had difficulty finding 10 entries.
I find it amusing that Ben specifically calls it the SNES, and doesn't pronounce it "sness", since "that's a British/European thing" (cue awesome Simon Miller reference about the Mega Drive)
DMA Design who went on to become Rockstsr made Body Harvest & Space Station Silicon Valley for the N64, also creating a table tennis game is a bit weird & out there for the developers of such games like Grand Theft Auto
It's decent. The biggest downside is the controls. EVERYTHING is controlled by the stylus. The music is also pretty poor. That said, the story is surprisingly decent.
Critics praised Bram Stoker's Dracula for the SNES they must have played a different game than I did. I found it to be not very good yeah the music and graphics were good but the gameplay was atrocious
Bear in mind that DMA wasn't part of Rockstar until the 2000s, and Rockstar was a completely separate company (BMG Interactive) until Take 2 bought them. DMA was later bought by T2 and assimilated into Rockstar afterward.
@@TrollDecker i'm aware. Also the timelines are kinda muddy on the subject. DMA was trying to merge with spider soft and then started merging with BMG. but other sources say that BMG was trying to acquire them outright. Either way, it didn't really matter once take2 bought up BMG, and moved them to NY, USA. Rockstar was created, the remnant of DMA became R* North, and DMA's catalogue of games is owned by rockstar, with a few exceptions here and there.
another Rockstar game that may surprise people actually comes from back when they were known as DMA Design.....they made a fun little racing game for Nintendo called Uniracers, which released on SNES and was ultimately pulled from production because Pixar got a stick up their butt the size of Mt Everest over **GASP** Nintendo having basic CGI unicycles in a game ( seriously, I still can't forgive them for screwing Nintendo over on a fun IP just because they live in their own assholes and couldn't handle basic CGI objects being used by anyone but them )
This is a bit inaccurate, because DMA Design was actually an independent studio before they were bought and assimilated into Rockstar (itself bought and assimilated into Take 2 when it was still BMG Interactive). You might also note that DMA was also responsible for the classic game Lemmings, published by Psygnosis.
@@TrollDecker I believe they also made Space Station Silicon Valley for N64. Never knew that part of their history though, everything I'd seen & heard said DMA Design WAS Rockstar. Thanks for the info there
@@newageBoundhippie Yeah, SSSV was part of a multi-game deal with BMG, that included GTA at the time, and BMG got bought out by T2 midway through development. At the time DMA was owned by Gremlin. :)
@@TrollDecker I assume that multi game deal involved Body Harvest as well since it was around that time and it's open world helped shape where GTA 3 would end up
@@newageBoundhippie Nope, oddly enough, Tanktics was the third game in that deal, and that ended up being published by Interplay instead. Body Harvest was published by Gremlin (and Midway in the US). The games industry is a complex beast. :B
Should have brought up Sonic Chronicles awful soundtrack. It sounds like the composer slammed his ass on the keyboard vaguely over the notes he was supposed to hit
Richard Jacques, ironically, is usually one of the industry's best composers. Funnily enough, he would go on to slam his arse on a different keyboard when he decided to throw an unreasonable tantrum at a cover of one of his Sonic R songs that Sega themselves commissioned a couple of years ago. :/
Wow, that was annoying. Editing that is, the content was fine. Just go with a static background border. Instead of the blurry blow up of the main video. And for gosh sakes at least stretch the main video ax much as you can. The tiny video surrounded by huge blurry box - did you guys really think that looked good?

games built on weird engine's could be fun. I know Diesel, the engine Payday and Payday 2 runs on is a racing engine
I'm not super familiar with the Payday series but this is definitely an intriguing fact to learn.
@@JillyMaysHere right! it's really impressive! (and explains a lot of the jank in that series (

There's certainly possibilities; I mean, just look at all the different kinds of games made on RPG Maker, for instance.
That it explains why driving doesn't feel so bad as I though it would

Or their skateboarding game
Probably because neither of those are really that weird
@@alexbenton6306 Rockstar putting out a table-tennis game IS weird.
My thoughts exactly
@@TheThird1977 In the era of GTA V all over the place it certainly is weird, back then it wasn't so much.
Cookie and Cream was the first FromSoft game I've ever played, and as a result, how I first heard of FromSoft.

glad to see the souls games carried the torch on that last sentence
"No one would think a music game would come from Rockstar"
Criterion - Black. For a big company known for making racing games they decided to release a shooter.
Airblade too,
"Black"(Criterion Games), "Alien: Isolation" and "Spartan:Total Warrior"(Creative Assembly)

@@Gatorade69 Also Rings of Power, In which they snuck in a lewd Easter egg.
Mini Ninjas by IO Interactive, the developers of Hitman and Kane & Lynch Series
Been waiting on a Vaati cookies and cream lore video for YEARS
I'm surprised the aptness of "Rockstar" making a music game went without comment.
Rockstar's Table Tennis is more odd IMO. After 3 banger GTAs on PS2, they made a damn table tennis game so they could get a hang of what the next-gen was able to do, as a warm up for GTA4
I played the hell out of that Disney world kart game, I loved it as a kid.
"How do I get past in The Adventures of Cookie and Cream?"
"...GIT GUD SCRUB."
*grabs mop*
Oni, developed by Bungie, most known for the Halo franchise
Mirror's Edge, developed by DICE, most known for the Battlefield franchise
Way of the Warrior, developed by Naughty Dog, most known for the Uncharted, The Last of Us, Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter franchises
Genuinely enjoyed the mirrors edge games. We need another.
Oni was a great game with a broken control scheme, aside from that it's awesome
even if the protagonist was basically discount Motoko Kusanagi 😍🤣
DICE started out doing the Pinball Dreams series, if you don't also count their prior demoscene origins as well.
not even the weirdest game from bethesda, they also made a home alone game for the NES
Wait really?
That’s cool
Hearing drag race, then seeing what was on screen, was truly a disappointing Wednesday afternoon
Are we forgetting Travellers Tales also released Muppets Racemania. That game was my early childhood and what a game it was.
While Rouge Warrior is in the realm of Bethesda games, it was totally out of their usual comfort zone and definitely a weird game
Bethesda also made a Home alone game 🎮 😅 I say they revisit the IP, and make it into a open world RPG 🤣
2:08 is it the same engine they've used since Morrowind?
I love how Ben refuses to let go of his roots from his time at WhatCulture
the random Simon Miller references are the highlight of his TripleJump videos
I guess you could it a legendary running joke for legends #LEGENDARYRUNNINGJOKEFORLEGENDS

That time Rockstar made a Ping-Pong game
I was waiting for that to pop up in the video.
Anything Disney by Capcom. How does that fit to the likes of Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Devil May Cry? Also Rockstar Table Tennis.

I heard Rockstar are actually working on a table tennis sequel ,that's their big announcement
I loved Magical Racing Tour
You seem to be mixing up games PUBLISHED BY and games DEVELOPED BY a company.
Somebody didn't pay attention
A lot of the "famous developers" on the list merely ported a game that had already been developed by someone else to another system. Maybe they just had difficulty finding 10 entries.
No mention of Dice, the Battlefield blokes making the Shrek video game?
I wish Bio Ware could keep making RPGs, and experiment more, instead of being controlled by EA 😪
Still waited for a Sonic chronicles sequel.
I find it amusing that Ben specifically calls it the SNES, and doesn't pronounce it "sness", since "that's a British/European thing" (cue awesome Simon Miller reference about the Mega Drive)
Well I never knew I wanted a Bethesda made Ru Paul’s Drag Race game until today
🤣🤣🤣

Inaccurate, they were bought by Take Two and assimilated into the Rockstar brand, which was in turn formed from their purchase of BMG Interactive.
Also, Table Tennis was developed by Rockstar San Diego (formerly Angel Studios), not Rockstar North.
im glad disney is making a racing game with gameloft for freemium
Bethesda has developed and published a lot of weird shit
I was thinking of Bethesda's Wayne Gretzky Hockey for NES
I loved the death and return of superman!
Surprised that Motor Toon GP 2 by realism masters Polyphony Digital isn’t here
Whoa, now I really want to play that Sonic RPG game
It's decent. The biggest downside is the controls. EVERYTHING is controlled by the stylus. The music is also pretty poor.
That said, the story is surprisingly decent.
Too bad it leaves off on a cliffhanger
Thanks Ben!
Critics praised Bram Stoker's Dracula for the SNES they must have played a different game than I did. I found it to be not very good yeah the music and graphics were good but the gameplay was atrocious
Sonic didn't find himself straying into Tamriel then?
fun fact: Blizzard didn't just make The Death and Return of Superman, they also made Justice League Task Force 🤣
And Rock and Roll racing, Blackthorne, and the Lost Vikings games.
TT's Drac game isn't really that weird considering it looks like it plays like their first game, Leander. 🤷♀️
Double Fine made a Sesame Street game
Well, i played Sonic chronicles Two Times sooo... I guess it was fun.
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is one of the better Sonic games. Well, its story is.
Hey just check out dma/rockstar's back catalog, a lot of off the wall ideas and edgy action titles.
