    Remember playing this with my young cousins and the first time we found out that we could 'skim' both grenades and rockets across the water - it changed the game forever! - Nice work Conner!

    What a gem. Went back to last month after 15 years.... It holds up! Mostly because the maps are very well-designed.

      Close enough to Brum to count! I'm glad you found my video. I do hope the kickstarter gets all the attention it needs and I'll be putting some money down when the time comes!

    Used to play this gem on the PS1 with my brother. Still remember thrashing him on a valley map, throwing freezing and poison gas down at him from ledges above before bombarding him with grenades.

    Huge fan of Rik Mayall. Currently trying to get the rom working on my emulator, but looking forward to the Lardcore version 😂

    I feel like this game managed to do a better job of adapting the Worms formula to 3D than Team 17 managed to do.
    I feel like the game benefits from being designed to work laterally, as opposed to having to adapt the verticality and movement tech that Worms was known for, making for a much simpler, but arguably better game.

    • @ConnersRetroOmnibus
      @ConnersRetroOmnibus  Рік тому +3

      I have the same thoughts exactly! I was always a fan of Worms in 2D, but not quite 3D. Your comments about the verticality not translating as well to a 3D plane are bang on.

    I love this game. I used to play it for hours on PS One, then ended up getting it again years later on Vita. I always love the little quips and lines for each pig before they attack and when they die. Some of my faves are Bastille (French), Keanu (American), Yehudi (Russian) and Kendo (Japanese). Definitely a gem of a game!

    Just started watching, if you say that this is not a gem, I warn you, Ill come back and make mean comments!! Joking aside, spent whole summers playing this with family and friends, really wholesome family friendly fun in a war game xD

      It was always going to be unlikely that I said Hogs of War was junk! I hope you stayed around to find out the answer.

    I remember when we had 6 weeks off school during summer and rented a PS1 and this game from the local video store. back when the world was fine.

  • @skraaaaz
    @skraaaaz 8 місяців тому +1

    i think this is one of the best ps1 games. the big crater map on multiplayer made me laugh so hard to tears. throwing that laughing gas at my little sister seeing her watch her pigs run down into the crater laughing as she shouts nooo. a great game that gave me these great memories of the 90's.

  • @Furn427
    @Furn427 6 місяців тому +1

    The multiplayer made it the ultimate social game, and still is. You don't play stuck in the seat and nose against the screen while ignoring what's around you. I Always played with my mates and we laughed so much. We had the Playstation outside with the CRT and plastic chairs. Only needed 1 controller for the four of us. So many trickshots too

    I don't understand how people mention the multiplayer without mentioning the Death Bowl. A 4 player game on that map is so much fun.

    honestly the devs missed their chance of releasing the remaster during the pandemic. It would have exploded as a social game like among us and more recently lethal company

    Absolutely loved this as a kid. However, I had the German version. As a Dutch kid with no language choices at the time, and Dutch versions not being a thing at all, I made do. And so I knew this as Front Schweine. And I assure you, the game was 100% only elevated by the German voices.

    Worms did not do 3D better than Hogs of War. It is why they went back to 2D. =)

      It's a great game for local vs play. Something of a dying art when it comes to modern games, but nothing beats sharing a couch within punching range of the other player in a 1-4 person match for games like this and Worms. I would love a port (or sequel) for PC with servers for online play.
