She tried, but then got interrupted and thought "fuck it, let them suffer". Though to be fair, the puzzles weren't that hard. I'm glad they did most of them legit instead of cheesing it.
I feel like Portal is one of those staple games that everyone ends up playing when they switch to PC. My brother (Currently 19) played it about 5 years ago when he got Steam and it's still one of his favourite games to this day. I personally played it back when The Orange Box released on 360, and having played through it again last year, I stand by the statement that it holds up. I personally haven't played the first Beyond Good & Evil, but I was somewhat excited for the new one, and if it comes out and I end up enjoying it, I would definitely consider going back and playing through the original (Although I must admit that the PS2 era was my favourite, so maybe I'm a bit biased).
And I feel portal isn't even that old a game. I mean, portal 2 came out in 2011, that's the same year as Skyrim and minecraft 1.0 and two years before GTA V
I've played Portal but not Portal 2. Watched Simon and Lewis do the Portal 2 playthrough when it came out and it being a co-op game, I didn't have anyone to play it with.
Portal and Portal 2 are the video game equivalent of Back to the Future; they are just classics that will always stand the test of time. People of new generations who are interested in gaming more than the average person will end up playing it at some point
yeah, im 19 and i first played portal around 10 years ago as well. this generation grew up on computers and those of us who (unfortunately) had access to the internet at too young an age at least had a chance to avoid the trauma and play classic video games.
There's likely a list of games out there that everyone needs to play & I'm fairly certain Portal 1&2 is on there - even today, it still holds up as a fun puzzle game with a dark backstory.

There is probably a good amount of people who have played Portal 1+2, if they had an early start on Steam, where being a Valve game there would have been a good amount of visibility. However as the majority of children (they would have been 9-11 at the time that Portal came out to be 19-21 now) start out with consoles and many never leave consoles, Portal would have never been on their radar.
The IT technician at my secondary school put a bunch of games on the shared drive every break and lunch time. Stuff like Battlefield 1940, minecraft, etc; I learned of Portal because of that man

It's still in development, but I'll just warn right now: Expect a Duke Nukem Forever scenario. A weird hodgepodge of the past 20 years of gaming trends, without the lessons the industry learned from those trends, slapped together in an incoherent game that's not going to live up to anyone's expectations, because it was made by vastly different people who had a different idea of where the series should go. There is simply no way it can make for an earnest sequel this far along, and the amount of time it has seemingly spent in development hell seems rather... Alarming.
lmao literally every zoomer i know has played portal 1&2, shoutout to rythian with the actual deep cuts. awaiting the day someone mentions xenogears during a recording
If anyone in the Yogs brings up Xenogears I thing my mind will actually fold in on itself. Two entirely separate sides of my brain that should, at every cost, never be combined
Sphinx and the cursed mummy was an amazing game that I wish they would remaster and make a sequel. Every time people bring up old games that they love that was the first game to come to mind. Truly a game I have/had so much fun with.
Lewis will be turning 40 this year in October! He was born the same year that Super Mario was released in Arcades, so he was 24 when Mario Galaxy came out in 2007, which is only slightly older than when Minecraft went public in 2009. Just a little perspective.
A really old hidden gem of a game is this little known masterpiece call The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It stars our savoir Geraldo of riviara. Only *really* in tune people have probably heard of it. /s This episode reminded me of the old hat films GTA races where it just devolves into a podcast. These are the best episodes sometimes.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but Witcher 3 is by far not a masterpiece. The main plot is boring, the combat is terrible and unresponsive - I lost track of how many times Geralt got killed because he refused to draw his sword or completely ignored input, it's still very buggy, and despite being only 6 years old the graphics are already starting to look old. A lot of the sidequests are much more interesting and the DLC is much more imaginative than the base game. Witcher 2 had a much better plot and obviously worse combat, but overall the pacing is better while 3 is just a snore
@@thesteelrodent1796 I haven't played much of Witcher 3 but I don't remember there being any problem with the combat. However I hated how railroaded the quests were. Oh you followed the footsteps to a door but didn't bother to examine the steps along the way because it was obvious what was going on? Well that door isn't opening until you do. Oh you've arrived att a empty village with a sus well surrounded by bones, you'd better examine that well. Oh no you decided to explore the well without having Gerald confirm that the sussy bone well is indeed sus and surrounded by bones so now the quest is softlocked.
TBF, I think the first game is getting a remake. I think it’s one of those games like FO3 or Morrowind that older gamers love but are hard for younger ones to get into due to outdated graphics, mechanics, and design.
@@evilemuempire9550 I know why I got bored and I'm an older gamer, the combat is boring and most of the game is geared towards what most single player games are, stories that cannot allow for detailed systems, lest the story be stopped from being heard and honestly, also to keep it open for the general pallet. That makes the games ultimately nothing special, outside of the story. I think this is also why an Elden Ring gets such a staunch following is because in that community's minds, the hard makes it special but again, just same combat system in Witcher. Still the same basic premise, a story with interactions that ultimately must be simple and beatable to let he story be heard, sold. TLDR: Witcher story special, Witcher game, is just an okay game because otherwise it makes it harder for more people to ingest the Witcher story, through the game.
@@AcceptTheNull Fair, which is why I’m happy that it’ll get a remake, it doesn’t matter if the gameplay changes because that’s not what it’s about, but it will make it more palatable
I feel like Portal is one of those games you get recommended as soon as you start PC gaming. The original is over a decade old and I still think it holds up (even without the RTX update) and is absolutely worth playing. Speaking of sequels that have taken so long to be made it's hard to drum up excitement for them, it'd be bloody great if the Elder Scrolls 6 could come out some time this decade
Oh heck yes. So much about that game was great - a transformable police vehicle that can switch between hover car and combat walker? Check. Co-op mode? Check. Customisable weapon loadout? Check. But whilst the single player/co-op campaign was great, the real stand out was that Precinct Assault multiplayer mode - way ahead of its time.
They made old games hard because they were relatively short and you get more enjoyment out of it that way, what is good about games is that there's levels for everyone, so people who want a challenge can get one, or people who just want a quick experience can also do it too. I like how lewis thinks osie is the normal one of the yogs, coated head to toe in tattoo's, the most normal of the lot lol.
Which means not a single one of them noticed what they were actually doing. Especially since it was basically just "go forward". Notice too how well they played when they didn't think about it.. lol
@@Eventide215 There was barely any rage or grudges too. Most face to face maps devolve into attacking first or one person, but this map had 3 lanes that really quelled that part of them
Yeah I'm 24 and I started playing GMOD in highschool, partly because of the yogs. I didn't get around to playing Half-Life or Portal until I was like 18-19, but when I did I was like "Why didn't I play this sooner?" and now they're some of my favorite games.
Same here my friends and I all got the Orange Box which had Half life 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2. We used to play TF2 as well as the Portal 2 co op all the time. I feel theres way more people that played them than they think, those games were my childhood!
Duncan waiting in the way for them to put the final ball in so he can finish 1st on a puzzle map like a tryhard and then coming 7th anyway is always great to see.
Nanosour 19998, Age of empires 2 1999, and Star Wars Battlefront 2004, The Amazon Trail 1993. All great games I used to play back on the "family" computer since it was still around those times. And if I could get my hands on them again I would. Some of those hold up still. there is a pretty large AOE2 groups that hold international tournaments and streams. And I still play SW Battlefront on my old xbox360 I got from 2010.
AOE2 did get a reboot on Steam several years back - they kept all the original stuff mostly as it was (just a few balance tweaks), plus added several new factions and associated campaigns in a couple of new expansion packs. The only thing they messed with in the original game that really ticked me off was changing the music, but modders quickly stepped in to fix that. Star Wars Battlefront 2004 was amazing too. still beats any of the newer ones EA has done since. Again, you can get it cheap on steam. Did you ever play their follow up release in 2005 - Republic Commando? That was one amazingly well crafted game, and hints of future concepts that were well ahead of its time (had it come out 3-4 years later it would 100% have had full 4 player online co-op mode).
My mind is blown right now. I actually played this map before them. I was all excited when I found it, but the actual map was kind of underwhelming. But now I'm super excited to watch them fall off over and over again. lol
i like when they play GTA 5, its kinda like a podcast while playing game, Lewis shud rebrand GTA 5 Schedule to podcast or something along the lines! i love it
Duncan's... sound at 15:39 gives me so much serotonin thank you all for this Also obligatory: I'm early 20s and grew up on the Portals, HL2, and Myst of all things
As a 20 year old, I grew up on Valve games like Portal, we definitely have hype for “older” games. It’s more the generation of kids playing fortnite who don’t really play games like that anymore.
Them talking about Gen Z (that are now 16-22) not playing something like portal 2 feels like an insult! As a kid who grew up in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s you had SO many people play games like Portal 2 because they were insanely good. I remember being in class in like elementary school and talking about portal 3 for god sake!
About the Portal part, I'm 19 and I've played Portal and the multiplayer of Portal 2 but that's mostly because the portal gun was my favourite traitor/detective item on the TTT server of a friend of mine
Born in 80s so grew up on MSDOS games. Its been great to see various Yogs playing old classics like Transport tycoon or X Com. Also have many fond memories of the likes of Crystal caves, Bio menace, Cosmo's cosmic adventure, Jill of the Jungle, Commander keen and Hocus Pocus. Would love to see modern day reboots of all of them. They were just the tip of the iceberg though, literally thousands of DOS games were created back in the day, with so many creative ideas that you just don't see anymore. .
I want to see a remake of Rise of Legends (the sequel to Rise of Nations). A unique RTS, with a cool story, a beautiful art style, and wonderful music.
For weird old games that I want a remake for, Beyond the Beyond, it's a bad game that no one likes, but for some reason my dad loved it and still names all of his DnD characters after it, so I want to play it without spending a whole day getting it to work on modern software
I am 25, I have played pong, frogger and own a Space Invaders Cocktail Cabinet arcade. I only played portal 2 for the first time last year. I too wish for a CIV 5 remaster Lewis!
12:11 this is incorrect! lol, i think it came out (im 19) when I was like 10? idk but i did play it... ngl this conversation is making me sad lol. Also this is the first video I have seen since yall played Minecraft :)
I think its interesting to hear them discuss Portal for 20 years olds. I'm 21 and played I loved playing Portal 2 with my younger brother when it released. It one of our favorites games.
On the topic of old games nobody has played: I really enjoyed a game called "Sacrifice" from like... 2000, I think? I don't know if I've met anyone who has ever played it, but it was really cool to me when I was young. It was this third-person tactical game where you played as a wizard served the gods and who summoned a bunch of monsters and ran around a map and fought other wizards, and it had a lot of crazy stuff like you could chop out bits of the world with spells and summon volcanoes and lightning storms and stuff. There were a bunch of gods who granted you different abilities, like one of them gave you nature magic, one gave you fire magic, one lightning storms etc. It was a really cool game, and I don't think I've ever played anything like it since then.
I got beyond good and evil way back when in like 2006 when i was a kid and ive been waiting for a sequel ever since. i remeber always watching the leaked footage and the trailer for the original planned sequel all the time on youtube. The thing is i really dont have any hopes for the sequel even if it does release. from what weve seen, and maybe its just because its early development, it looks souless, barren and nothing like what made the first game such a timeless classic. we can hope though.
11:10 I had a good chuckle when Lewis said that Super Mario Galaxy 2 game out 5 years ago, when it was actually released in 2010, which was *13* years ago.
I'm 23 and can say that Portal was my first video game I played. My all-time favorite game to this day is Portal 2 and introduce it to anyone who hasn't played either game as often as possible
You know with Portal 2 specifically I've had such an interesting time growing with it. I'm 22 now, and the game came out when I was 10. I don't think I got to play it in 2011 when it came out, but I definitely played it sometime in 2012- I remember the memes and people telling each other "the cake is a lie" or my friends and I memorizing the Cave Johnson lemon rant. But what's so especially interesting is that in the years after the game came out somehow "the cake is a lie" ended up in the asexual community and became a symbol of it- if not right around the same time I realized I was ace then a bit before then. I've never seen something like that before, where a bit from a game becomes a word-of-mouth meme, then somehow ends up a symbol for a community (tho now it's just a nostalgic joke, that aces would rather have cake)
im newly 18 and i was raised on games like portal 1&2 because i was so fascinated by physics, and my older brother made sure of it that i played proper staple games
Honestly, a lot of great games have gotten some decent remakes or at least have playable ports. My childhood favorites that haven't received much love are Donkey Kong 64 and Megaman Legends 1 and 2. For most obscure though, I think Robotech: Battlecry and Metal Marines are two good candidates. The mech genre is fairly under represented. I only know of a few recent exceptions that are strategy games.
Lewis's main games consist of the most popular and well known PC games of all time, and super tiny, made by 2 people in a shed indie games, and he still picks Portal 2 as a "Yeah I bet no ones played that niche little classic!"
Portal were my first games i ever got on Steam. I only bought them because i wasn’t allowed to add friends until i bought something and both the games were on sale for extremely cheap. I didn’t even know what greatness awaited me
"If you are 18-20 now, you have not played portal" -Ben. Seriously though, I'm only 22 and Portal was probably the first PC game I ever played. I remember seeing it as a kid and there were tons of flash games and memes and etc related to Portal, and of course I wanted to check it out. Not only that, but it's one of the most well regarded games. It's like when someone says they haven't seen star wars. You just have to go "really? how have you not done this thing that everyone should have done?" If Ben was talking about literal children then maybe I get it, since Portal hasn't had a game in a long time so someone currently under 10 years might not have heard of it, but people older than that definitely have.
i've played the portal games and im 21 almost 22, but im part of the early gen-z group, so in my early teens, portal 2 was really popular on youtube, so people younger than me probably don't even remember it even if they have heard of it in their childhood. The only way they might've is if they are an avid gamer that is aware of "the classics".
20 year old here, i did play portal, its one of those games that came out slightly before i really got into gaming, but went back and visited bc it was such an iconic title
Beyond good and evil 1 is a good charming game. I think it deserves a remaster to flesh out more details in some story parts. The sequel Im afraid may fail because of over ambition, the changing of trends in its long development, and whether they are forced to put in any specific corporate requests into the game. They should have gone for something more stylized than overly detailed so it could have been released faster, or have had someone work on side projects like a spinoff or new remaster, or some sort of spoiler free updates to let people know if to keep optimistic on it.
First video game I played was Pong/Tennis on an Atari in 1978 at a friends place. Our dads were watching an F1 race. It was the same day Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson crashed fatally. He later died in the hospital.
One of my favorite games is Drill Dozer, a gameboy game that had a "rumble pack" on the cart so that when you drilled in the game your gameboy would vibrate. the game's themeing uses a lot of red and blue, left and right, so I would've loved for the Switch to have given it a remaster or sequel given its own design. Sadly I don't think it's known enough (despite being made by gamefreak) or at least enjoyed enough by people.
I must say I was introduced to portal by my dad and have loved it since. I have replayed portal 2 countless times and it never gets old for me. And I'm only in my early twenties.
As a 22 year-old, I've played both Portal & Portal 2. Played 2 when it came out (cause I saw Lewis & Simon playing it) but I'm not sure I managed to complete it back then. Went back and played through both games like 3/4 years ago (and actually completed them that time)
I’m about 19 and I’ve played a lot of the older valve games like portal and half-life when I was younger as I heard they were good - I wasn’t focused on what had just come out, but what actually got good reviews and held up :). I think a lot of people may have played these games but remembering details is a lot harder for most
I'm 24 and I played portal and when I played it, it was already a rare game to have played. Someone four years younger than me would've had to seek it out to play it.
i love how Osie immediately found a way to break* the map early on, by getting out of the car and running up the end of the ramp, but didn't tell anybody

I love how Rythian gets genuinely excited when Lewis knows what he’s talking about.
That was the most peaceful Head To Head map they have ever done.
The chaos ones are funny, but this one looked like actual thought went into the design
The fact that it was spread out and not actually going head-to-head very much contributed to that.
No actual head to head, can't camp with one car to make everyone else suffer, and no Ped to grief? Yeah, this was _very_ peaceful.
Having the ramp car section go through NPC traffic was a great choice. Get it out of their system.
I'm 21 and played the portal games about 10 years ago. Both are great and still play them a bit every year or two.

Sphinx and the cursed mummy was an amazing game that I wish they would remaster and make a sequel. Every time people bring up old games that they love that was the first game to come to mind. Truly a game I have/had so much fun with.
Lewis will be turning 40 this year in October! He was born the same year that Super Mario was released in Arcades, so he was 24 when Mario Galaxy came out in 2007, which is only slightly older than when Minecraft went public in 2009. Just a little perspective.
A really old hidden gem of a game is this little known masterpiece call The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It stars our savoir Geraldo of riviara. Only *really* in tune people have probably heard of it. /s
This episode reminded me of the old hat films GTA races where it just devolves into a podcast. These are the best episodes sometimes.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but Witcher 3 is by far not a masterpiece. The main plot is boring, the combat is terrible and unresponsive - I lost track of how many times Geralt got killed because he refused to draw his sword or completely ignored input, it's still very buggy, and despite being only 6 years old the graphics are already starting to look old. A lot of the sidequests are much more interesting and the DLC is much more imaginative than the base game. Witcher 2 had a much better plot and obviously worse combat, but overall the pacing is better while 3 is just a snore
@@thesteelrodent1796 I haven't played much of Witcher 3 but I don't remember there being any problem with the combat. However I hated how railroaded the quests were. Oh you followed the footsteps to a door but didn't bother to examine the steps along the way because it was obvious what was going on? Well that door isn't opening until you do. Oh you've arrived att a empty village with a sus well surrounded by bones, you'd better examine that well. Oh no you decided to explore the well without having Gerald confirm that the sussy bone well is indeed sus and surrounded by bones so now the quest is softlocked.
TBF, I think the first game is getting a remake. I think it’s one of those games like FO3 or Morrowind that older gamers love but are hard for younger ones to get into due to outdated graphics, mechanics, and design.
@@evilemuempire9550 I know why I got bored and I'm an older gamer, the combat is boring and most of the game is geared towards what most single player games are, stories that cannot allow for detailed systems, lest the story be stopped from being heard and honestly, also to keep it open for the general pallet. That makes the games ultimately nothing special, outside of the story. I think this is also why an Elden Ring gets such a staunch following is because in that community's minds, the hard makes it special but again, just same combat system in Witcher. Still the same basic premise, a story with interactions that ultimately must be simple and beatable to let he story be heard, sold.
TLDR: Witcher story special, Witcher game, is just an okay game because otherwise it makes it harder for more people to ingest the Witcher story, through the game.
@@AcceptTheNull Fair, which is why I’m happy that it’ll get a remake, it doesn’t matter if the gameplay changes because that’s not what it’s about, but it will make it more palatable

Hot Shots Golf Four!
That game is nearly perfect and holds up to all modern golf games, in my opinion
I feel like Portal is one of those games you get recommended as soon as you start PC gaming. The original is over a decade old and I still think it holds up (even without the RTX update) and is absolutely worth playing.
Speaking of sequels that have taken so long to be made it's hard to drum up excitement for them, it'd be bloody great if the Elder Scrolls 6 could come out some time this decade
I really like that GTA racing is turning into basically a group podcast; if I were the yogs I'd actually lean into that a bit more
Think so too though its like how do they do that outside of just longer normal GTA videos
I used to love old achievement hunter's GTA sunday drive videos. It was essentially just another RT podcast as they just drove around.
My shout for "old obscure game that you wish they'd make a remake of" goes to Future Cop: LAPD. What a game!
Oh heck yes.
So much about that game was great - a transformable police vehicle that can switch between hover car and combat walker? Check. Co-op mode? Check. Customisable weapon loadout? Check.
But whilst the single player/co-op campaign was great, the real stand out was that Precinct Assault multiplayer mode - way ahead of its time.
They made old games hard because they were relatively short and you get more enjoyment out of it that way, what is good about games is that there's levels for everyone, so people who want a challenge can get one, or people who just want a quick experience can also do it too. I like how lewis thinks osie is the normal one of the yogs, coated head to toe in tattoo's, the most normal of the lot lol.
All of this conversation happened on one of the coolest maps they've ever played.
Which means not a single one of them noticed what they were actually doing. Especially since it was basically just "go forward". Notice too how well they played when they didn't think about it.. lol
@@Eventide215 There was barely any rage or grudges too. Most face to face maps devolve into attacking first or one person, but this map had 3 lanes that really quelled that part of them
@@ArdentMoogle there wasn't much opportunity to do damage
As someone who is turning 21 in a month, I did grow up on Portal, Half-Life, and Garry’s Mod, thanks in no small part to the YOGSCAST.
Yeah I'm 24 and I started playing GMOD in highschool, partly because of the yogs. I didn't get around to playing Half-Life or Portal until I was like 18-19, but when I did I was like "Why didn't I play this sooner?" and now they're some of my favorite games.
Same here my friends and I all got the Orange Box which had Half life 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2. We used to play TF2 as well as the Portal 2 co op all the time. I feel theres way more people that played them than they think, those games were my childhood!
Duncan waiting in the way for them to put the final ball in so he can finish 1st on a puzzle map like a tryhard and then coming 7th anyway is always great to see.
Nanosour 19998, Age of empires 2 1999, and Star Wars Battlefront 2004, The Amazon Trail 1993. All great games I used to play back on the "family" computer since it was still around those times. And if I could get my hands on them again I would. Some of those hold up still. there is a pretty large AOE2 groups that hold international tournaments and streams. And I still play SW Battlefront on my old xbox360 I got from 2010.
AOE2 did get a reboot on Steam several years back - they kept all the original stuff mostly as it was (just a few balance tweaks), plus added several new factions and associated campaigns in a couple of new expansion packs. The only thing they messed with in the original game that really ticked me off was changing the music, but modders quickly stepped in to fix that.
Star Wars Battlefront 2004 was amazing too. still beats any of the newer ones EA has done since. Again, you can get it cheap on steam.
Did you ever play their follow up release in 2005 - Republic Commando? That was one amazingly well crafted game, and hints of future concepts that were well ahead of its time (had it come out 3-4 years later it would 100% have had full 4 player online co-op mode).
My mind is blown right now. I actually played this map before them. I was all excited when I found it, but the actual map was kind of underwhelming. But now I'm super excited to watch them fall off over and over again. lol
Oh man, beyond good and evil! One of my favorite games of all time
i like when they play GTA 5, its kinda like a podcast while playing game, Lewis shud rebrand GTA 5 Schedule to podcast or something along the lines! i love it
Duncan's... sound at 15:39 gives me so much serotonin thank you all for this
Also obligatory: I'm early 20s and grew up on the Portals, HL2, and Myst of all things
As a 20 year old, I grew up on Valve games like Portal, we definitely have hype for “older” games. It’s more the generation of kids playing fortnite who don’t really play games like that anymore.
Them talking about Gen Z (that are now 16-22) not playing something like portal 2 feels like an insult! As a kid who grew up in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s you had SO many people play games like Portal 2 because they were insanely good. I remember being in class in like elementary school and talking about portal 3 for god sake!
If they made another, newer, remake of Sid Meier's Pirates! then that would be absolutely poggers
16:56 Black & White (1 and 2), I want them to actually run on modern systems!
About the Portal part, I'm 19 and I've played Portal and the multiplayer of Portal 2 but that's mostly because the portal gun was my favourite traitor/detective item on the TTT server of a friend of mine
Born in 80s so grew up on MSDOS games. Its been great to see various Yogs playing old classics like Transport tycoon or X Com.
Also have many fond memories of the likes of Crystal caves, Bio menace, Cosmo's cosmic adventure, Jill of the Jungle, Commander keen and Hocus Pocus. Would love to see modern day reboots of all of them.
They were just the tip of the iceberg though, literally thousands of DOS games were created back in the day, with so many creative ideas that you just don't see anymore. .
I think the PSP was actually a really good seller. Soooo many people I knew had one and What a bangin console it was
A really old ps1 game i've always wanted a remake on is Hogs of war, its so under rated but such a fun little game!
Cave Johnson is going to be my announcer forever. One of the best recognizable voice actors, loved when he played Klaus.
As for an obscure game they should remake - Beyond Oasis
Lewis is the oldest one here and it looks like he has the best control of the group. Makes me feel better about getting older and playing games.
Rythians german sounds like a mix between a dutch and a swiss speaking german.
Im 18 and pretty much everyone i know whos even slightly into games has played both portals, they're held in a very high esteem still
I want to see a remake of Rise of Legends (the sequel to Rise of Nations). A unique RTS, with a cool story, a beautiful art style, and wonderful music.
as someone who is currently 18-20 years old, portal 1 and 2 are my childhood
I love the talking style they used this time and it reminded me why I subscribed in the first place. So I guess good job lads
I want a fallout 1 and 2 remake tbh. They’d be great realized in 3D.
You guys are best TH-camrs I know for plays GTA 5 keep up the good work YOGSCAST ❤
I would argue BGaE absolutely still holds up, I still go back and replay it sometimes its sooooo good
Duncan's contribution at 15:40 was the best part of the whole video
My god, Beyond Good And Evil, I remember playing that game on the PS2 and now after so many years it’s finally getting a sequel
For weird old games that I want a remake for, Beyond the Beyond, it's a bad game that no one likes, but for some reason my dad loved it and still names all of his DnD characters after it, so I want to play it without spending a whole day getting it to work on modern software
I am 25, I have played pong, frogger and own a Space Invaders Cocktail Cabinet arcade. I only played portal 2 for the first time last year. I too wish for a CIV 5 remaster Lewis!
wholesome ending
12:11 this is incorrect! lol, i think it came out (im 19) when I was like 10? idk but i did play it... ngl this conversation is making me sad lol.
Also this is the first video I have seen since yall played Minecraft :)
I think its interesting to hear them discuss Portal for 20 years olds. I'm 21 and played I loved playing Portal 2 with my younger brother when it released. It one of our favorites games.
On the topic of old games nobody has played: I really enjoyed a game called "Sacrifice" from like... 2000, I think? I don't know if I've met anyone who has ever played it, but it was really cool to me when I was young. It was this third-person tactical game where you played as a wizard served the gods and who summoned a bunch of monsters and ran around a map and fought other wizards, and it had a lot of crazy stuff like you could chop out bits of the world with spells and summon volcanoes and lightning storms and stuff. There were a bunch of gods who granted you different abilities, like one of them gave you nature magic, one gave you fire magic, one lightning storms etc.
It was a really cool game, and I don't think I've ever played anything like it since then.
I got beyond good and evil way back when in like 2006 when i was a kid and ive been waiting for a sequel ever since. i remeber always watching the leaked footage and the trailer for the original planned sequel all the time on youtube. The thing is i really dont have any hopes for the sequel even if it does release. from what weve seen, and maybe its just because its early development, it looks souless, barren and nothing like what made the first game such a timeless classic. we can hope though.
Osie is the secret genius of the Yogscast. A spiritual successor to Simon.
11:10 I had a good chuckle when Lewis said that Super Mario Galaxy 2 game out 5 years ago, when it was actually released in 2010, which was *13* years ago.
I'm 23 and can say that Portal was my first video game I played. My all-time favorite game to this day is Portal 2 and introduce it to anyone who hasn't played either game as often as possible
You know with Portal 2 specifically I've had such an interesting time growing with it. I'm 22 now, and the game came out when I was 10. I don't think I got to play it in 2011 when it came out, but I definitely played it sometime in 2012- I remember the memes and people telling each other "the cake is a lie" or my friends and I memorizing the Cave Johnson lemon rant. But what's so especially interesting is that in the years after the game came out somehow "the cake is a lie" ended up in the asexual community and became a symbol of it- if not right around the same time I realized I was ace then a bit before then. I've never seen something like that before, where a bit from a game becomes a word-of-mouth meme, then somehow ends up a symbol for a community (tho now it's just a nostalgic joke, that aces would rather have cake)
This was a good discussion podcast 👏 wish they did more this style
Scepterra core and revenant both 1999 games I would love a remastered or reboot
I would seriously love a disneys hercules playthrough stream, of nostalgic old games, that was the one I thought about!
Zylus is the goat for talking about Beyond good and evil 1 and 2
13:00 it's also about the marketing. A sequal will always get some traction in the media.
Appreciated the gaming insight this episode!
im newly 18 and i was raised on games like portal 1&2 because i was so fascinated by physics, and my older brother made sure of it that i played proper staple games
21 and Ben couldn't be more wrong on the portal take, portal 2 defined good game development for me as a child.
Honestly, a lot of great games have gotten some decent remakes or at least have playable ports. My childhood favorites that haven't received much love are Donkey Kong 64 and Megaman Legends 1 and 2. For most obscure though, I think Robotech: Battlecry and Metal Marines are two good candidates. The mech genre is fairly under represented. I only know of a few recent exceptions that are strategy games.
Lewis's main games consist of the most popular and well known PC games of all time, and super tiny, made by 2 people in a shed indie games, and he still picks Portal 2 as a "Yeah I bet no ones played that niche little classic!"
i love beyond good and evil. The flippin security towers still give me nightmares
Portal were my first games i ever got on Steam. I only bought them because i wasn’t allowed to add friends until i bought something and both the games were on sale for extremely cheap. I didn’t even know what greatness awaited me
Today Ubisoft cancelled a ton of games, Beyond Good & Evil 2 was on the news for NOT getting cancelled. Still hope!
"If you are 18-20 now, you have not played portal" -Ben.
Seriously though, I'm only 22 and Portal was probably the first PC game I ever played. I remember seeing it as a kid and there were tons of flash games and memes and etc related to Portal, and of course I wanted to check it out. Not only that, but it's one of the most well regarded games. It's like when someone says they haven't seen star wars. You just have to go "really? how have you not done this thing that everyone should have done?"
If Ben was talking about literal children then maybe I get it, since Portal hasn't had a game in a long time so someone currently under 10 years might not have heard of it, but people older than that definitely have.
i've played the portal games and im 21 almost 22, but im part of the early gen-z group, so in my early teens, portal 2 was really popular on youtube, so people younger than me probably don't even remember it even if they have heard of it in their childhood. The only way they might've is if they are an avid gamer that is aware of "the classics".
20 year old here, i did play portal, its one of those games that came out slightly before i really got into gaming, but went back and visited bc it was such an iconic title
Beyond good and evil 1 is a good charming game. I think it deserves a remaster to flesh out more details in some story parts. The sequel Im afraid may fail because of over ambition, the changing of trends in its long development, and whether they are forced to put in any specific corporate requests into the game. They should have gone for something more stylized than overly detailed so it could have been released faster, or have had someone work on side projects like a spinoff or new remaster, or some sort of spoiler free updates to let people know if to keep optimistic on it.
Speaking of remakes, the Skyblivion project just got a release date for 2025
First video game I played was Pong/Tennis on an Atari in 1978 at a friends place. Our dads were watching an F1 race. It was the same day Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson crashed fatally. He later died in the hospital.
The most civil face2face race ever.
One of my favorite games is Drill Dozer, a gameboy game that had a "rumble pack" on the cart so that when you drilled in the game your gameboy would vibrate. the game's themeing uses a lot of red and blue, left and right, so I would've loved for the Switch to have given it a remaster or sequel given its own design. Sadly I don't think it's known enough (despite being made by gamefreak) or at least enjoyed enough by people.
When I was a small kid I loved playing Gruntz. It was silly but addictive. I wish they would make a remake!
I must say I was introduced to portal by my dad and have loved it since. I have replayed portal 2 countless times and it never gets old for me.
And I'm only in my early twenties.
Im 19 and both Portal and Portal 2 were formative games. The framework for modern puzzle games, they're so so important.
As a 22 year-old, I've played both Portal & Portal 2. Played 2 when it came out (cause I saw Lewis & Simon playing it) but I'm not sure I managed to complete it back then. Went back and played through both games like 3/4 years ago (and actually completed them that time)
I’m about 19 and I’ve played a lot of the older valve games like portal and half-life when I was younger as I heard they were good - I wasn’t focused on what had just come out, but what actually got good reviews and held up :). I think a lot of people may have played these games but remembering details is a lot harder for most
I'm 20 and Portal is one of my favorite games!
Can confirm. I am 20 right now, and I have played portal, half life and all that, fantastic games.
The original Deus Ex would really benefit from a remake as long as it is done carefully.
I'm 24 and I played portal and when I played it, it was already a rare game to have played. Someone four years younger than me would've had to seek it out to play it.
Damn it Ben, those Star Citizen burns hurt.
