Minecraft was an INDIE SURVIVAL game, and look at it now, no but for real, the only reason Minecraft worked as an indie survival game is because it was completely new and different from almost any game out there, Nether didn't work for reasons explained in this video
I remember my group of friends and I played for weeks. And the entirety of those weeks we fought the same group of hackers. And a month of solid battle whenever we got on later, my friend installed a hacked client and got insta VAC banned. But not the other hackers. Love it.
i killed hackers one or two times, it was fun. you have to kill them as they leave the safezones to cheese their aimbots. they all had bugged inventories, so infinite carry weight, and the llot dorp was massive. everyone stopped killing eachother for a few minutes to share. it was magical.
Once had some retarded wallhacker kill me out of nowhere, then immediately try to kill me again in my nearby (but out of sight) re-spawn location, which made it obvious he was wallhacking. He wasn't using speed or aimbot, and sucked at the game, so I was able to kill him. It was satisfying, but probably one of the last times I played.
Yea... that’s what happens when you install popular hack clients...... hackers that don’t get banned have their own hack clients and don’t use the ones everyone can download that are the first to be found out.
When i was a teenager i had a "I wanna play Dayz, Rust, stuff like that" kind of.... phase, before I learned pvp multiplayer is cancer. I own nether... I should not own nether. Update: I now play R6 Siege and Destiny 2.
ZestyFruit Loops and dayz is only fun until u notice everyone sucks ass at it on pc and console and u start killing decked people with m4s and shit and realize the game is boring as fuck with nothing to do in it
Darkwolfpocco i had those exact same cravings when i was younger too. i think frankieonpc really popularized those games, at least for me. he made all these cinematic vids and he was good at the game and seeing him interact with others and role playing was pretty fun and interesting.
I admit that the nether failed, it was so lack lusting, lighting up your nether portal and walking in it and you think WOW this is so cool for the first 2 minutes but then you realize that there is nothing there at all. Hopefully Minecraft gives it life again
6:41 That actually sounds like a neat idea for encouraging more cooperation between players and that this mechanic makes sense via the context of the setting ("nethers" smelling all that blood) is just icing on the bloody cake that will sadly never be finished...
you left some information out. about the resurrection, phosphor games was kicked off the project by the publishers again, this was right as more and more updates were coming out and player count was growing.
actually one thing i remember happening with the non steam version of the game {yes there was a non steam version) was when they shut down the non steam version without really telling anyone. Anybody who tried the play using that version of the game wouldn't update so you couldn't play it unless of course, you bought the steam version. There were no refunds, there were no codes those of us who played on the non steam version of the game got nothing and we couldn't even play the game we already paid for without paying for it again. I get the feeling that was the last straw for a lot of people myself included
Resurrection got my hopes up in a big way. I would check for news on further updates whenever I could, and picked the game up again every time they made a new change. But once Phosphor got kicked off again, I just gave up.
You know, I had 354 hours on this game and to be comepletely honest, I'll never experience the same tense situations this game had from any other game. The difficulty was brutal. You use your guns on the nether and you alert more nether, and players. In such a tightly spaced map, there was always potentially a player around every corner. The team I was grouped with was undefeatable together. I knew all the safe routes to take when travelling with good loot, Mr. White was our strategist, and dark was our frontman with the pvp, although as a team we even took out hackers and made them rage quit (a close range auto shotty out dps's any machine gun so it's your only chance to kill one of them) I'll definitely miss the glory days of this game, and it's a shame that it died the way it did.
i remember dark, he was goated, although me and my buddy did wipe yall a few times, as yall did the same to us, fun times, i then lost my account info and could never play again sadly
About the 32-bit issue... there is a legitimate reason that support can’t be added easily. Some limitations can cause issues with 32-bit operating systems (not enough memory, slower operations or less precise floats)
it was probably because it was built from the ground up to utilize 64 bit resources, and it would have been a massive headache and waste of resources to recode the entire back-end for 32 bit.
Plus who the fuck used 32-bit on any computer they actually played on. No computer I've ever touched was 32-bit, between any of the computers and laptops I've had, nor any of my family's computers. Bitching about not being able to run a game clearly meant to be run on a 64-bit OS is the height of stupidity. You dug your own grave running 32-bit instead of 64-bit.
This was the only time when I got the game, played around 5 hours, and then actively started looking for players to group up. There was only one community in Russian social network Vkontakte, with around 50 active members, so I've left a quote there Three guys replied... We've spent around 80 hours in only next week!! The game was HUGE fun, with all the exploration, scavenging, PVP, boss fights, events with huge waves of nethers, defending and activating safe zones... Then the devs introduced gun-crafting instead of collecting gun as a whole from one loot spot. Then it all went to shit, and we've all switched to Rust. Later on, Nether was dead. upd. "swagrid" in the game chat on the game footage sound VERY familiar... :)
Oh shit, I saw my LONG Nether bug list in your video that I wrote in the Steam forums of Nether. Man that's 3 years ago. IMHO Nether always lacked from a good development team. The designers did a great job in creating this truly immersive map and these great AI enemies but this game was always filled with too many bugs. So when you talk about why this game died, you have to mention the ridiculous amount of cheaters the community had to face and there was no help from the devs at all - at no time. I played this game until early 2017 when I finally came to the conclusion that I have to move on to something more alive. At least, I left one last footprint: ua-cam.com/video/zVxl8o7iJuk/v-deo.html . I don't believe this game will ever come back but at the same time I hope that at some day someone will remember this concept and will create something similar again. Because even with its limited content, the PVP part was great and kept me playing for 2000+ hours. So besides all the bad things that happened to that game, the designers of Nether had a pretty unique and fantastic vision.
Desolate is kinda similar to Nether although more Co-op oriented than shoot-whoever-you-want. And sadly it's also racking up more negative reviews so far.
Well it is, but kinda so was Nether with an extra flavour of not being strictly pve and having huge servers with anyone able to shoot at you. Or at least that's how I saw it and I'm just dumb. Point is for whatever reason devs are struggling making multiplayer post-apocalypse games as they just keep racking negative reviews.
Dude thorn and the dark meadow are amazing mobile games I adore them but if you try to play them now you can download them but not play them and it's so stupid why taunt me with my nostalgia
I saw a Seananners video on this games years ago, and it looked pretty cool. And then I didn't hear about it, ever again. Pretty depressing story considering it was a genuinely good concept. Honestly, if the developers are genuinely interested in saving the game, they need to give up on trying to update a game that came out in 2013 with a playerbase that's been dead since 2014. Start fresh and make a Nether 2, take the core idea and gameplay, and soup it up a bit with some new mechanics while addressing some of the major issues the first one had.
I mean anyone who was a fan of the previous game probably already knew about this, and anyone who wasn't an active fan probably doesn't know or doesn't care about the previous game anyways.
I bought the first nether game back when i was younger and one day disappeared off my library, recently I've remembered about it by seeing the new trailer for nether untold truth and was curious about what happened to the original
Every now and then I get a memory of this game and the vibe of the time in gaming and I look it up. It was an exciting time for many indie games. A Wild West if you will. Some blew up, most fizzled out. Nostalgic times. I thought this game was really cool for a little bit but I grew bored of the lack of content for the most part. Same city, same mechanics, same play area.
Oh hey robokast I love running across you every now and again. I remember getting bombarded with friend requests when one of your gmod videos released. I didn't know who you were but everyone told me I was in your videos
Nether was the first example of me getting screwed by an Early Access game. Really colored all Early Access for me, and has kept me from wasting my money numerous times now. Haven't even thought about that game in forever. Great vid.
I'm almost ashamed to have supported this game so much back in the day. I gave trial keys to friends, forced my brother to play it with me, and even my girlfriend for a bit who hated it. I just loved the look of it so much. I thought with some additional detail is could have been the best looking survival game out there, with a foreboding and chilling atmosphere. I also really like the Nether designs, though the human models looked terrible. The game ran poorly at all times, unless you turned off ALL the shadows. I remember thinking upgrading my processor would help, but no dice on that. I was so naive, during a time where Early Access was sort of exciting for me, looking forward to game updates. Now the only Early Access game I own that's still "alive" is 7 Days to Die, and I feel like development on that has been much slower than it needed to be. (5 years and the game still feels half complete, but at least it has content)
When Nether came out, I played so much with my friends, it was a legitimately good and promising game ! Then the devs saw money and pretty much bailed on the project.
Yeah, it's games like these that make me cautious with buying early access games. The only one I budged on is Hotdogs Horshoes and Handgrenades, which is a shining example of an early access game done right. The developer is always adding new content and actually listens to feedback about bugs or features the playerbase doesn't like.
I remember when Seananners, Markiplier, and Vanoss playing this game. It looked extremely fun but I didn’t have a PC at the time. I remember Seananners even played as a Monster.
"This single polygon Roblox-looking game had 3 times the amount of items of this High Definition 3D game!" It's almost like it took the developers of this 3D game way more than three times the amount of time to make item models, effects, and program the items into their game. /facepalm "Hey! We need a new Sniper RIfle for Unturned!" **Goes into 3D modeling program. Makes an elongated rectangular prism** "I said sniper rifle!" **Adds a little cylinder-shaped scope on top** "It's perfect!"
I love the fifty repeats of, "It didn't die, it was murdered." And, "But I mean the Minecraft nether isn't that bad, lolololol I'm funny right?" Please. Post more of this.
Early Access can work. Factorio for instance is an Early Access game and has been ever since 2013 but the game is not what i would consider unfinished. The game has barely any bugs and has a lot of content. Just a little work on the HUD and i would consider the game finished but the devs are only working on Version 0.18 so i guess they want version 1.0 to be the last version to ever get released so they want it to be perfect
I know a dude that worked on the game. He did a lot of art assets for the game and hid a ton of our Planetside 2 guildies names in the game. A few inside jokes as well. He was rather angry what they did with the game when they took it away from Phospor. Hes working on Outpost Zero now on Steam.
Ohh the nostalgia.. Fighting for crusader or broken basso. There was no content true, but the player base (hardcore) made our own content I miss grudge matches, and shit talking all round the map! Mastering how to ride the janky bike, Sniping from colossus when the main hub was down! Oh the days before school and employment!
This video just popped up in my recommended and I'm glad it did! Great video, you've earned a new sub! I had my eye on this game for a while when it was called "Nether: Resurrected" but the reviews put me off. I'm glad I didn't fall into the trap of the game, thanks for the video so I know what I (thankfully) missed!
Ive seen several videos like these, its the same story over and over again. Dev greed, dev stops uploading updates, community gets mad with bugs and hackers, only hackers left, bad reviews, game dies
Phosphor Games had another game in the works before Nether. I forgot what it was called, but it was one of the early games greenlit by Steam Greenlight. There might be an old video about it on their YT channel.
I remember playing Nether. I had it wa back in early access, and I actually really liked the game. Sure it was a bit glitchy but I liked the feel of the game, and the map and mechanics it had. I also remember how the game just seemed to get worse over time instead of better. The map was small initially and they said they were going to expand it, instead of expanding it deeper into the city with more to see, they expanded it into a swampy area that just had so little content it felt like a waste of space. Few points of interest, very little loot, just ugly land... They tried adding in group activities like a big box you could find and bring to the big safe zone for loot, but it alerted nethers to attack you so you practically needed people to follow and watch your back, it was an idea but implemented badly because the loot wasn't worth it and only the person holding the box got the loot so anyone helping them could be stiffed. Then they added pay to win mechanics and microtransactions for golden keys to open up rare crates you could find, nobody liked this, and this was about the time they came out of early access, I remember pretty much everyone I knew who played it stopped right around here. This game DID have a lot of potential, and I enjoyed it while I had the chance to, it's a shame it wasn't taken seriously by the company(s) and was abandoned...
I love nether, ever since I saw it come out back in 2013, it's fantastic, the game isn't good, but the premise, story, monsters and the setting is fantastic, the game is dead, and yes it's a greedy hacker filled pile of doodoo, but when the game first came out in 2013, it was glorious, it was some of the most fun I had on a game, it was a quality game, but now it's just dead and garbage
@Grym you never enjoyed it cause you didn't play it before the peak, you played it while the hackers ran wild, plus you were probably shit at the game, so you could never progress
yeah same, I thought so too. I was streaming back then aswell and I had like 70-100 viewers watching me play that game. I fucking loved it! Such a good concept, the potential that game had is unreal! RIP Hopefully someone makes Nether 2, like even change the name to something else just want the concept and the good stuff :P
@Grym Lol I can tell for a fact that you didnt play on the release. It was really fun for the first couple of weeks, to the point where they added the crafting and removed guns to be spwaned at random locations. that where everything went to shit.
This concept sounds very interesting, I want this to become a mix of unturned, and rust. So if phosphor games is reading this, I think this may be a great idea. We need this to exist.
I was a huge reason why the playerbase died off too, I had issues with a administrator in the game. Like I did with WarZ I gained access to their admin panel. I was able to give out keys, edit inventories, and accounts. I would get a group of 10-20 of my friends together set all their HP to 100k (as much as you could set it to) give them unlimited ammo / meds / drinks to continuously run and we caused havoc. There was so many posts on the forums about members of my group "health hacking" which is "impossible" in a modern day game for anyone that knows anything about development so all the posts were always overlooked until one of the big streamers caught it on video of me solo attacking maybe 10 people then it was getting questioned. At this point the game was practically dead, every player we ran into had no chance but to die. The admin program booted me one day and the administrator password had changed, it was already past dead at this point. I actually have a bunch of screenshots still of me ingame with a stupid amount of health etc. This was actually a great game, I really enjoyed it before gaining access.
I remember Phosphor Games were working on a crowdfunded superhero game that looked like it had potential, but it never took off due to lack of funding. I guess this is the sad result
Such a shame to see a game that had a huge potential go to waste, I have hope though if someone can buy the rights and redesign it to make it better and maybe 4k HDR quality. I don't know, I would like to play the game but now I can't be happy or angry about it. I can just sit and kinda cry for it, it sucks man.
A few weeks ago I remembered this game but I couldn't remember the name but when I did see it, it looked fun and didn't know why it got forgotten, but now I understand
Yeah I have heard this music used in a lot of videos yet still don't know what it is from... The back of my mind says Chrono Trigger or something, but I still don't know. If anyone knows hmu [Edit] SO after like... an hour? of searching i found it.. Undertale - Ruins
Holy..Horn (2:35) was my favorite mobile game! I had no idea who made it.. But it was sooo good.. The music,sounds,gameplay.. Even the graphics for a phone were really good! I miss that game .-.
I wonder when The Black Death is gonna end up in here considering it's February 1, and they've already missed their promised delivery date for content that was meant to land half-way through last year.
I had bought the game when it came out, played it for 2 days at most, uninstalled it and said never again. I knew exactly where it was going to go in my short time playing, and that was nowhere. Between the bugs, hackers and the people who'd wait outside the safe zones to murder you the moment you tried to walk out the door. It was doomed before it even started.
So I decided to make a new discord server because my old one started to die and became pretty inactive, so feel free to join this new one!

I don't think the publishers cared at all about making the game good, I think they just wanted the money.
The developers were just trying their best.
no money, no game series. Sorry.
I bought the first nether game back when i was younger and one day disappeared off my library, recently I've remembered about it by seeing the new trailer for nether untold truth and was curious about what happened to the original
Every now and then I get a memory of this game and the vibe of the time in gaming and I look it up. It was an exciting time for many indie games. A Wild West if you will. Some blew up, most fizzled out. Nostalgic times. I thought this game was really cool for a little bit but I grew bored of the lack of content for the most part. Same city, same mechanics, same play area.
@@jellymopseemed like this was the era of fun and out of the box games.
I remember when all the big youtubers played this but quickly stopped cause content soon ran out
@@teddyfresh9605 i think that was markipliar😂😂😂
+n bo Pretty sure it was PewDiePie back when he mostly did gaming on his channel.

2019: let's recommend this !
That’s not very strange
Oh hey robokast I love running across you every now and again. I remember getting bombarded with friend requests when one of your gmod videos released. I didn't know who you were but everyone told me I was in your videos
To be fair you compared the Lego blocks that is unturneds assets to unreal engine 3 assets
What's the name of the song at 4:08? It sounds incredibly familiar...
Wasn't unturned made by one guy, Nelson? I know people helped him make maps, but I think he made it by himself.
yea it was made by a guy who made a roblox zombie survival game, i remember playing that roblox game all the time, it was called deadzone
@@zandohrtv it went to steam due to constant issues with game theft back then too, also I think it also is on consoles too
What I really loved about this game was getting gunned down each time I left a safe zone.
It didn't just die, it was *murdered*
Do we have to say this to every game that died? It wasn't even murdered it commited not living
Please just no
It was *BURIED ALIVE*
It wasn't just murdered it was *EXILED*
Was this a video essay topic?
I remember that the atmosphere was the best thing about the game
Oh yeah I remember this game vanossgaming did a couple of videos on it after that never heard anything about it
@@rodrigojps gotemmmm
Jeff Solis Dude, as soon as i remember the vanoss video i scroll down to only the comment over and see this
Nether was the first example of me getting screwed by an Early Access game. Really colored all Early Access for me, and has kept me from wasting my money numerous times now. Haven't even thought about that game in forever. Great vid.
I'm almost ashamed to have supported this game so much back in the day. I gave trial keys to friends, forced my brother to play it with me, and even my girlfriend for a bit who hated it.
I just loved the look of it so much. I thought with some additional detail is could have been the best looking survival game out there, with a foreboding and chilling atmosphere. I also really like the Nether designs, though the human models looked terrible.
The game ran poorly at all times, unless you turned off ALL the shadows. I remember thinking upgrading my processor would help, but no dice on that. I was so naive, during a time where Early Access was sort of exciting for me, looking forward to game updates. Now the only Early Access game I own that's still "alive" is 7 Days to Die, and I feel like development on that has been much slower than it needed to be. (5 years and the game still feels half complete, but at least it has content)
Little did we know, but at the time we knew, singleplayer games were forced to be allways online...
When Nether came out, I played so much with my friends, it was a legitimately good and promising game ! Then the devs saw money and pretty much bailed on the project.
No, the devs were kicked off the project by those in charge. They were replaced with the p2w assholes
haha god damn we have a ghost in here. Come here to comment but you didnt watch the video? lmao
amazing game it was ! @@ccdrobin6962
Idk why but your videos are so comfortable to watch that I nearly fall asleep.
Why Robocraft completely failed, please! People should know this story!
Simple. The crate system.
@@axtra9561 The heck is robocraft?
No game with craft in the title deserves to be successful.
@@Kwjehehebebb Minecraft.
Still hasn't failed technically, there is still enough players to enjoy the game
Yeah, it's games like these that make me cautious with buying early access games. The only one I budged on is Hotdogs Horshoes and Handgrenades, which is a shining example of an early access game done right. The developer is always adding new content and actually listens to feedback about bugs or features the playerbase doesn't like.
I forgot this game even exisisted. I only remembet Mark playing it.
I remember when Seananners, Markiplier, and Vanoss playing this game. It looked extremely fun but I didn’t have a PC at the time. I remember Seananners even played as a Monster.
Hey dude. Will you make a video on the reboot of The Culling?
@@vbc1331 i'm not talking about the sequel. I'm talking about the fact that the first one came back to life.
@@vbc1331 they started work on the first on again
"This single polygon Roblox-looking game had 3 times the amount of items of this High Definition 3D game!"
It's almost like it took the developers of this 3D game way more than three times the amount of time to make item models, effects, and program the items into their game.
/facepalm
"Hey! We need a new Sniper RIfle for Unturned!"
**Goes into 3D modeling program. Makes an elongated rectangular prism**
"I said sniper rifle!"
**Adds a little cylinder-shaped scope on top**
"It's perfect!"
Tom Scott is in this video. Didn't expect him in a RoboKast video!
Tom Scott is one of my favorite channels
Holy fuck RoboKast replied
Did he also send Edgar the robot (as well as the garlic bread) to space?
Or do I not know who Tom Scott is
Every year this game would pop in my head again, yet I just noticed I forgot about it throughout the whole of 2020 and I just remembered it again.
this game was so fun, my very first open world survival pvp game. honestly miss this game a ton, had so much fun in it. RIP
NETHER is reborn. It s starting 21 may with different name
0:25 lmao never knew scp 096 was greedy
I love the fifty repeats of, "It didn't die, it was murdered."
And, "But I mean the Minecraft nether isn't that bad, lolololol I'm funny right?"
Please. Post more of this.
Eventually this video was to come...
The only thing I remember from this game is this...
WE CAN DANCE IF WE WANT TO, WE CAN LEAVE YOUR FRIENDS BEHIND.
Early Access can work. Factorio for instance is an Early Access game and has been ever since 2013 but the game is not what i would consider unfinished. The game has barely any bugs and has a lot of content. Just a little work on the HUD and i would consider the game finished but the devs are only working on Version 0.18 so i guess they want version 1.0 to be the last version to ever get released so they want it to be perfect
I know a dude that worked on the game. He did a lot of art assets for the game and hid a ton of our Planetside 2 guildies names in the game. A few inside jokes as well. He was rather angry what they did with the game when they took it away from Phospor. Hes working on Outpost Zero now on Steam.
Ohh the nostalgia.. Fighting for crusader or broken basso. There was no content true, but the player base (hardcore) made our own content I miss grudge matches, and shit talking all round the map! Mastering how to ride the janky bike, Sniping from colossus when the main hub was down!
Oh the days before school and employment!
This video just popped up in my recommended and I'm glad it did! Great video, you've earned a new sub!
I had my eye on this game for a while when it was called "Nether: Resurrected" but the reviews put me off. I'm glad I didn't fall into the trap of the game, thanks for the video so I know what I (thankfully) missed!
Ive seen several videos like these, its the same story over and over again. Dev greed, dev stops uploading updates, community gets mad with bugs and hackers, only hackers left, bad reviews, game dies
Wow I was just wondering what happened to this game the other day. And here’s a video. Awesome.
I really wish this game worked out I had like 200h on it 😞
Thats 200 hours you will never get back lol RIP The Wiggles 😔
Bro I've been subbed since around 2016 when you still did UNTURNED (lol) and now you're popping up more than ever before! Full props, man!
I love these kind of videos
This game is forever doomed to be forgotten in my Steam library. Had some good times with a couple friends but that's it - maybe a few hours.
I was one of the players that could not play it because of the 32 bit problem..
why in gods name are you on a 32 system?!
back in 2013 it was kinda understandable to have a 32bit system becouse Windows xp was still a thing back then.
If you're on windows XP what are you even doing playing games? Windows XP couldn't even run minecraft at 2 FPS.
My Windows XP 1gb ram pc at my grandma is still alive after 10 years and it runs Minecraft at 60 fps.
@@beckwalton4722 bro yeah it could lol most games around 2013 and lower was recommended for windows xp like gta 4 and stuff like that
I remember getting it when i was 14 with my cousin. It felt different and full of potential but it fell off quick. But memories will remain forever.
We miss the old videos Robo, we need some more Unturned or Garry’s Mod😩😩
Played this game but i can't quite recall anything besides frustratingly not being able to find a gun, so I was fighting everything with melee weapons
I bought this game...
Then I got a refund, and Nether looked back.
thats offensive
@@dabswithnate lmfao what the fuck, how?
Phosphor Games had another game in the works before Nether. I forgot what it was called, but it was one of the early games greenlit by Steam Greenlight. There might be an old video about it on their YT channel.
That game was okay just the dev's screwed it up royally. I miss that day and night cycle vid of Nether.
I remember playing Nether. I had it wa back in early access, and I actually really liked the game. Sure it was a bit glitchy but I liked the feel of the game, and the map and mechanics it had.
I also remember how the game just seemed to get worse over time instead of better. The map was small initially and they said they were going to expand it, instead of expanding it deeper into the city with more to see, they expanded it into a swampy area that just had so little content it felt like a waste of space. Few points of interest, very little loot, just ugly land... They tried adding in group activities like a big box you could find and bring to the big safe zone for loot, but it alerted nethers to attack you so you practically needed people to follow and watch your back, it was an idea but implemented badly because the loot wasn't worth it and only the person holding the box got the loot so anyone helping them could be stiffed.
Then they added pay to win mechanics and microtransactions for golden keys to open up rare crates you could find, nobody liked this, and this was about the time they came out of early access, I remember pretty much everyone I knew who played it stopped right around here.
This game DID have a lot of potential, and I enjoyed it while I had the chance to, it's a shame it wasn't taken seriously by the company(s) and was abandoned...
I love nether, ever since I saw it come out back in 2013, it's fantastic, the game isn't good, but the premise, story, monsters and the setting is fantastic, the game is dead, and yes it's a greedy hacker filled pile of doodoo, but when the game first came out in 2013, it was glorious, it was some of the most fun I had on a game, it was a quality game, but now it's just dead and garbage
@Grym you never enjoyed it cause you didn't play it before the peak, you played it while the hackers ran wild, plus you were probably shit at the game, so you could never progress
yeah same, I thought so too. I was streaming back then aswell and I had like 70-100 viewers watching me play that game. I fucking loved it! Such a good concept, the potential that game had is unreal! RIP Hopefully someone makes Nether 2, like even change the name to something else just want the concept and the good stuff :P
@Grym Lol I can tell for a fact that you didnt play on the release. It was really fun for the first couple of weeks, to the point where they added the crafting and removed guns to be spwaned at random locations. that where everything went to shit.
This concept sounds very interesting, I want this to become a mix of unturned, and rust. So if phosphor games is reading this, I think this may be a great idea. We need this to exist.
Damn, imagine having a 32bit OS
Robo: *makes a video on nether*
UA-cam: this... IS FALLOUT NEW VEGAS
This guy sounds like behind the meme. Huh
I was a huge reason why the playerbase died off too, I had issues with a administrator in the game. Like I did with WarZ I gained access to their admin panel. I was able to give out keys, edit inventories, and accounts. I would get a group of 10-20 of my friends together set all their HP to 100k (as much as you could set it to) give them unlimited ammo / meds / drinks to continuously run and we caused havoc. There was so many posts on the forums about members of my group "health hacking" which is "impossible" in a modern day game for anyone that knows anything about development so all the posts were always overlooked until one of the big streamers caught it on video of me solo attacking maybe 10 people then it was getting questioned. At this point the game was practically dead, every player we ran into had no chance but to die. The admin program booted me one day and the administrator password had changed, it was already past dead at this point. I actually have a bunch of screenshots still of me ingame with a stupid amount of health etc. This was actually a great game, I really enjoyed it before gaining access.
Plz make gmod videos again love those videos
I remember Phosphor Games were working on a crowdfunded superhero game that looked like it had potential, but it never took off due to lack of funding. I guess this is the sad result
Such a shame to see a game that had a huge potential go to waste, I have hope though if someone can buy the rights and redesign it to make it better and maybe 4k HDR quality. I don't know, I would like to play the game but now I can't be happy or angry about it. I can just sit and kinda cry for it, it sucks man.
A few weeks ago I remembered this game but I couldn't remember the name but when I did see it, it looked fun and didn't know why it got forgotten, but now I understand
Dude i totally remember markiplier playing this, i watched that shit when i was little, the name sounded familiar!
Man Nether was so fun for my friends and I. I enjoyed how it spooked me in such an open setting.
At around 4:05, I swear, I heard that fucking background music in Mabinogi.
Yeah I have heard this music used in a lot of videos yet still don't know what it is from... The back of my mind says Chrono Trigger or something, but I still don't know. If anyone knows hmu
[Edit] SO after like... an hour? of searching i found it.. Undertale - Ruins
@@kgevans ik it was from undertale. Not which song tho
Holy..Horn (2:35) was my favorite mobile game! I had no idea who made it.. But it was sooo good.. The music,sounds,gameplay.. Even the graphics for a phone were really good! I miss that game .-.
The game was originally called "never" but then it was sponsored by Mike Tyson
That's not how lisps work.
@@theseoldhomes ThAths noTh hOW LiThs WorTHs
I wonder when The Black Death is gonna end up in here considering it's February 1, and they've already missed their promised delivery date for content that was meant to land half-way through last year.
Why half-life 3 dead?
Holy shit! I remember watching Markiplier play this years ago! Really sucks to hear what happened to it...
I hope you don't make a video called "why scum failed"
Of course will depend on the creators of the game
Is that name a joke about the guy from Birmingham Smethwick
I had bought the game when it came out, played it for 2 days at most, uninstalled it and said never again. I knew exactly where it was going to go in my short time playing, and that was nowhere. Between the bugs, hackers and the people who'd wait outside the safe zones to murder you the moment you tried to walk out the door. It was doomed before it even started.

"I got myself stuck in a pickup truck"
"where exactly are you and what are you carrying"
hahha never change nether
Nether looked like a game you see someone in a movie play on a vaguely Xbox looking console, with a real Xbox 360 controller
