My entire relationship with my brothers is founded on playing these two games on split screen in the tiny TV in our bedroom. There were only two controllers so we’d trade off every time someone died, and sometimes we’d invent our own minigames and ignore the actual game. Also in my humble opinion the original battlefront 1 menu screen is the best menu screen ever created.

Bro, Animal well has me hypnotized when i watch the video's for it. The music and ambience is beautiful. It feels like a safe and comfortable game but also something that will scare and keep you on your toes. Very excited to play.. Thank you dunkey! and Billy Basso
Thank you for remembering MoH Warfighter!❤ I feel like the industry has been trying really hard to cover up and act like Medal of Honor 2010, and Warfighter never existed. Those games were really solid shooters and exceptionally well made military sims. The first campaign brought tears to my eyes and it made me feel represented.
it was for sure, the problem is that the whole collection is a flat downgrade from the originals, riddled with new bugs that weren't there before.@@coolman2805
honestly. rather than fighting the culture war Jason gives us laughs and a genuine reflection of himself. I've always loved Dunkey. Even my boomer Dad is drawn to Dunkey and giggles at times. Even being a "baffoon", but really the jester of life, he's actually giving such immense value to people and every eye can see it. Thank you, Dunkey. God bless Lea and your children too.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 2005 is my second favorite game of all time. It sucks that the collection was launched in such a rough state. Thankfully the old versions are still on Steam with great mods
You ever play any of the Battlefield Star Wars mods like Galactic Conquest for BF1942? It wasn’t perfect but kinda insane the level of care that went into it, full scale fleet ships, variety in locations, and other odds and ends.
@@thealldayspecial I did! I absolutely loved the Star Wars & Desert Combat mods for BF1942. Those mods don’t have any active servers (DC does from time to time) but tons of people still play the BF1942. I highly recommend checking it out again and using some HD/remaster mods from ModDB. It’s still insanely fun.
At 3:10 you can see one of the most infamous grenades spots from the original on the Rhen Var map. The other guy is standing right next to an ammo droid spamming nades through that small gap in the wall. Absolutely vicious spot
sounds like good balancing that totally shouldve been kept in. Nothing like standing in one single spot the entire game pressing a single key to throw fucking grenades@@JesseDishner
@sainttrish7544 the reason was because it was a checkpoint so close to the other team's starting checkpoint. The balance and flow of movement was very chaotic on that map, and that position could be reached from several points, including turrets to the left, so you were out in the open from three other sides, so it wasn't really practical to just stand there and lob grenades., but it did allow you to sometimes hold off dozens of enemies while hoping that the rest of your team were taking care of their responsibilities, because if they didn't you were screwed.
underrated video easter egg at 3:22 where a guy is complaining about "weapon switching" and the game censors the "ching" part of "switching". incredible gameplay
When I was born my dad said "one day son, you will play Animal Well, and all will be right in the world" since I was an infant I didn't understand him and I pre-ordered Battlefront instead
I got this game for Xbox to play split screen co-op with my son and at that it excels. I’m aware of the problems with it and haven’t tried online multiplayer myself, but for sitting on the couch next to my son playing split screen multiplayer, it works flawlessly. To me it’s worth the $30 I paid for it. Edit: I’m definitely wishlisting Animal Well.

The montage at the end hits hard. I also have fond memories with past games but when I play it again it’s just not the same. I get this sudden motivation to replay these games only to stop playing the next day or so.
Video game nostalgia is such a paradox. On one hand, it’s a reminder of a simpler time when games weren’t corporate products constantly begging for money from you and publishers couldn’t take away a product you paid for. On the other hand, game design and visuals have evolved so rapidly in the past 5 years alone that even playing the worst games of 2024 so far is more bearable than being reminded that game you adored as a child feels super clunky now. Doubly true if you are nostalgic for the N64/PS1 era.
Idk, I recently replayed the syphon filter trilogy for the ps1 and had a blast. Some games hold better than others when it comes to game design tropes that back as kids we didn't care about, but today we can see how boring/stupid/inconvenient they are. Graphics aren't the issue, but outdated game design.
idk man, Metal Gear Solid 1 on PS1 still fucks@@JeffreyThrash Also been replaying the first Max Payne and it still is really fun. Just depends on what older games we're talking about, definitely are quite a few that just don't hit like they used to, but there are tons that still do.
@@JeffreyThrash I came back on my wii recently to play super mario galaxy 2 and I can say it was super refreshing and the most fun I've had playing a video game in a while. I've just ordered the first galaxy game aswell so I'll 100% that too when it comes through the mail. It doesn't take long to adapt to the clunkiness of controls, as long as the game itself is amazing, you won't be as bothered about clunky controls.
During the whole bit at the end going through different games, I was thinking to myself, "what's the punchline, what's gonna be the game that's good at the end," and you know what, should've seen that one coming. He got me good, I have to get it now.
the punchline is that if the game is multiplayer - its gonna be like that. Stop ignoring singleplayer games just because you can’t flex your skills in them
I've been looking for the definition of why I've stopped playing online games. I always thought it was because I was frustrated to easily, now I know I was just not having any fun ✌️
I hate to be that guy, but that's the definition of a skill issue. Fr tho, sometimes you just have bad matches. The way to remedy that is to have friends who you can enjoy any game with and not to take things too seriously Also, personally I can still have fun with competitive games because I don't care about stats and ranks, but it might be good to just avoid them outright
@@cosmicpanda7043 you are referring to one subset of games, probably FPS, which I rarely played online, I am referring to multiplayer games in general, MMOs, survival, looter shooters etc, there is a difference between fun/immersion and winning, winning does not always equal fun, sometimes winning just over takes addiction and ego fulfillment, and playing with people with that mindset is tiring and choir like, this is what I am referring to.
@@toot7642 I mean it applies to any game where you can be at odds with other players, be that survival games, mobas, rhythm games, RTSs, etc. To each their own I guess, but I will always enjoy shooting the shit with my bois. It's no different than going out to the bar or something; just a venue for us to talk and joke around. Singleplayer is great too, of course. Just depends on what you're looking for at the time
This is why I don’t obsess over “realistic” visuals. They all come from a single source-real life-then for some reason they desaturate every color except the red bloodstains, because I guess only red is a realistic color. Now you understand why “realistic” graphics are doomed to look same-y.
You think this is overly samey? Clearly you don't remember the BROWN era! When every single fps had a colour palette consisting entirely of grey, beige and brown.
I never was able to play Battlefront 2 online in my youth so playing Galactic Conquest again is more than enough for me and I am so happy to experience such a significant part of my childhood again.
I like how dunkey went back to many previous games. But my favorite was when he went back to Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017), playing as an Ovissian Gunner on Crait! My favorite map! And if the classic collection still has a bumpy lane, just switch on back to the original separate base games, they're still as fun even back then.
SW Battlefront II is my favorite childhood game. Yet, being new to video games as a child, I was terrible at it for a while. Now, thanks to this broken re-release, we can ALL be terrible at this game together!!! ❤
ive tried to watch this through at least 3 times, and every time i get so excited that animal well has a release date i just start celebrating and forget dobley also made a whole video also
Starting the video w a sudden trailer like a direct actually is genius bc i don’t think i would’ve clicked on the trailer itself and now i want animal well
One of Dunkey’s funniest montages with huge references to many beloved titles, AND ACCURATELY SHOWING WHAT BEING BAD FEELS LIKE only for it to be an animal well ad. I’m gonna buy animal well now. So will all of you.
I had to pause the video just to check if I was really hearing the castle crashers blacksmith soundtrack in the background. I don't know how many years it's been since I've heard it, but it immediately came back to me haha.
Glad to finally have a release date for Animal Well. Congratulations, guys. Looking very much forward to playing it and saying, "aaahhhh. Look at these wells."
After they patched day 1 it's been fine for me, although I've not played online. After the day 1 patch the launcher was different so my guess is they accidentally went live with a pre-release build. In any case, non-online on playstation is absolutely fine now.
the ending montage reminded me of your classic "teemo is the best right now" vid, really got hit with the nostalgia of watching that back when video games were actually good
I loved this game as a Kid and I still love it now. Though, i never do multiplayer online. This game has always been best to play with local co-op/splitscreen/LAN.
Yes - you could set up such epic battles because the players are so much better than the bots, but they still mattered in the outcome of the game. It was like two masters in a dual but on a real battlefield. My son and I used to play these for hours every weekend, Hoth would have some especially epic duals: being down to just me holed up in a bunker against him and 60+ reinforcements still waiting, switching from the technician (med/supply pack) to the assault (I think: land mines and rocket launcher) while trying to keep the ammo and health Droid operational. I had the award pistol so I could hold them off, such epic battles...
If you have a bunch of nostalgic items you might feel ok with gettng rid of some of them if you go through and photograph them so you still have something you can look back on. I had a box of a bunch of stuff that I had for years until I finally did this
the montage at the end is spot on. Sometimes a game is so bad it makes you question why tf do you even like video games and if they were ever good to begin with
I think he was kinda clowning how castrastrophy-ing youtubers like you are acting about classic collection LOL like you guys are farming the nostalgia bait concern trolling while dunkey is having fun is how I read it
First time I ever played Star Wars Battlefront was in my friend's attic. It was on a projector screen and we were jacked up on Mountain Dew and Monster. Didn't sleep at all that night, seemed like a fever dream, still remember all of it. Life was great back than.
The hit detection really makes you feel like a stormtrooper
up
You're right, they didn't do a lame job, they just wanted to make the games more immersive
all this time, the stormtroopers had incredible aim but terrible hit detection
LOL, explains why they always miss in the movies.
Best comment
They made a 20 year old game on the PS2 have a bigger file size than Elden Ring.
How is that even possible
Ai upscaled, uncompressed 8k textures.
For every texture.
Failing in areas you weren't even supposed to fail.
fully uncompressed audio for every single language + fully uncompressed shitty AI upscaled textures
what's more impressive is they retroactively broke a game that was finished 20 years ago. The original game unironically plays better.
Aspyr is bad at their job?
it's always interesting seeing what music Dunk will pick for these. I would never have guessed "Castle Crashers shop" in a million years for this one.
Thank you! I was losing my mind trying to figure out where this music was from!
10/10 soundtrack
the song is called spanish waltz :D
certified banger!
Immediately picked it and smiled
"I feel like my bullets don't count" - This sums up my feelings on battlefront classic perfectly wow
That's me when I play any shooting game tbh
Aspyr decided to update the game for modern audiences by releasing it in the state most modern games are released in nowadays, kudos to them.
the world's first ever UNMADE finished game.

Idk, I recently replayed the syphon filter trilogy for the ps1 and had a blast. Some games hold better than others when it comes to game design tropes that back as kids we didn't care about, but today we can see how boring/stupid/inconvenient they are. Graphics aren't the issue, but outdated game design.
idk man, Metal Gear Solid 1 on PS1 still fucks@@JeffreyThrash
Also been replaying the first Max Payne and it still is really fun. Just depends on what older games we're talking about, definitely are quite a few that just don't hit like they used to, but there are tons that still do.
@@JeffreyThrash I came back on my wii recently to play super mario galaxy 2 and I can say it was super refreshing and the most fun I've had playing a video game in a while. I've just ordered the first galaxy game aswell so I'll 100% that too when it comes through the mail. It doesn't take long to adapt to the clunkiness of controls, as long as the game itself is amazing, you won't be as bothered about clunky controls.
The old castle crashers music takes me back
I had to pause the video until I figured out why I recognized that music. So good.
My friends and I agonized over what that music was from. You have saved us, friend
I was playing the video in the background while focusing on something else and then, inexplicably, I was a middle schooler again
Thank you, I did the same thing as the others replying, heard it, recognized it, and came to this comment to know why the hell I recognized it.
Also jin tekken 3 theme! I felt like i was 8 again
dude animal well looked cool af and that trailer hit hard. definitely ganna try it
Animal well looks so sick, congratulations Dunkey!
Dunkey is the closest thing to a father I've ever had
I'm so sorry for you.
Daddy issues over here as well :(
Dunkey truly makes you feel like your dad came back with the milk.
Dunkey is the closest thing to a black man ive never met
Then why do you never listen to him?
During the whole bit at the end going through different games, I was thinking to myself, "what's the punchline, what's gonna be the game that's good at the end," and you know what, should've seen that one coming. He got me good, I have to get it now.
Took way too long to find this comment. Glad other folks understood.
basically just watched a 5 minute long ad for animal well
the punchline is that if the game is multiplayer - its gonna be like that. Stop ignoring singleplayer games just because you can’t flex your skills in them
oh man, that bomberman 64 music at the end really takes me back.
That Bomberman 64 intro for the outro is just great.
That one second of F.E.A.R online has brought back so many memories, it was so good!
Holy shit. It's the real Terry Hintz!
The hint lord himself has appeared!!
god castle crashers music goes hard 2:21
Thank you man, you saved me from hours of trying to remember where did I hear that music before
back when games WERE GOOD
I came to the comments to find this. I could picture in my head clearly the whole tune but not where it was from
Legend, thanks
SO pumped for animal well! Love 2D platformers so it's right up my alley and the art looks incredible.
funny video, as always. Shouts out to that Bomberman 64 music in the outtro. Had me vibing
That montage at the end is low key why i stopped playing multiplayer games... I prefer being able to be in control of my own fun
I've been looking for the definition of why I've stopped playing online games. I always thought it was because I was frustrated to easily, now I know I was just not having any fun ✌️
I hate to be that guy, but that's the definition of a skill issue. Fr tho, sometimes you just have bad matches. The way to remedy that is to have friends who you can enjoy any game with and not to take things too seriously
Also, personally I can still have fun with competitive games because I don't care about stats and ranks, but it might be good to just avoid them outright
@@cosmicpanda7043 you are referring to one subset of games, probably FPS, which I rarely played online, I am referring to multiplayer games in general, MMOs, survival, looter shooters etc, there is a difference between fun/immersion and winning, winning does not always equal fun, sometimes winning just over takes addiction and ego fulfillment, and playing with people with that mindset is tiring and choir like, this is what I am referring to.
@@toot7642 word, single player games are just more fun
@@toot7642 I mean it applies to any game where you can be at odds with other players, be that survival games, mobas, rhythm games, RTSs, etc. To each their own I guess, but I will always enjoy shooting the shit with my bois. It's no different than going out to the bar or something; just a venue for us to talk and joke around. Singleplayer is great too, of course. Just depends on what you're looking for at the time
Seeing that shooter montage at the end really highlights just how same-y all the visuals are with Splatoon being the sole splash of color
This is why I don’t obsess over “realistic” visuals. They all come from a single source-real life-then for some reason they desaturate every color except the red bloodstains, because I guess only red is a realistic color. Now you understand why “realistic” graphics are doomed to look same-y.
You think this is overly samey? Clearly you don't remember the BROWN era! When every single fps had a colour palette consisting entirely of grey, beige and brown.
lmao, fortnite was shown, halo infinite was shown , valorant was shown, non of those look anything like the rest of realism shooters
@@MalFunktion2024people see what they want to see.
I no longer play and rarely enjoyed any shooters but I did not get that impression at all from that montage
I never was able to play Battlefront 2 online in my youth so playing Galactic Conquest again is more than enough for me and I am so happy to experience such a significant part of my childhood again.
I remember playing this game every day after school was really the worst/best time a kid could have
Miss ya if you’re out there Jacob
Dunkey is normally a genius at making normal games look broken, but he didn’t even have to try with this one
3:42 The Katamari music playing while the guy rolls by is a nice touch.
I like how dunkey went back to many previous games. But my favorite was when he went back to Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017), playing as an Ovissian Gunner on Crait! My favorite map!
And if the classic collection still has a bumpy lane, just switch on back to the original separate base games, they're still as fun even back then.
I could take something so iconic and f....it up so well,
Kudos Developer
SW Battlefront II is my favorite childhood game. Yet, being new to video games as a child, I was terrible at it for a while.
Now, thanks to this broken re-release, we can ALL be terrible at this game together!!! ❤
This game really feels like you’re playing an online game as a 7 year old again
The ending of this video "So here we are.." was superbly done. Great video Dunkey.
ive tried to watch this through at least 3 times, and every time i get so excited that animal well has a release date i just start celebrating and forget dobley also made a whole video also
Thank you for the ad for Animal Well!
Bioshock 2 multiplayer was actually pretty badass
That trailer at the beginning was actually incredible. Haven't felt so excited for a game to come out in a good while
Not usually a fun of sidescrolling platformers and such, but the game looks so trippy that I honestly want to buy it for the art alone.
The sprite artwork is beautiful
Its still such a mindfuck that Dunkey is an actual videogame publisher.
great Animal Well review from dunko, thanks!
i'm excited for animal well! This is the best advert for a game in recent memory
Starting the video w a sudden trailer like a direct actually is genius bc i don’t think i would’ve clicked on the trailer itself and now i want animal well
One of Dunkey’s funniest montages with huge references to many beloved titles, AND ACCURATELY SHOWING WHAT BEING BAD FEELS LIKE only for it to be an animal well ad. I’m gonna buy animal well now. So will all of you.
I've had days like that. Usually sends me crawling back to my single-player comfort zone.
NERD
I had to pause the video just to check if I was really hearing the castle crashers blacksmith soundtrack in the background. I don't know how many years it's been since I've heard it, but it immediately came back to me haha.
Glad to finally have a release date for Animal Well. Congratulations, guys. Looking very much forward to playing it and saying, "aaahhhh. Look at these wells."
for me, I was more looking forward to playing it and saying “aaahhhh. Look at these animals.”
Now just for me, for me personally, if we're talking about my preference, I think I'll probably say "aaahhhh. Look at all these Animal Wells™!"
I think people are gonna really like the aminals
I am gonna say, "They got BUBBER DUCKY in this game??"
Welcome to Anima-
Welc-
Welcome t-
As someone who lost wifi for a week on the 14th, I've been having a lot of fun.
I'm glad Dunkey has finally gone back to when games were good. 2005, the year of Charlie and the Chocolate factory for the Gameboy advance.
I can’t believe we are back to the daily uploads, super excited for the next among us Tuesday
man all those game sounds bring back so many memories.
Pre-ordered it when it was 20% off and returned it without even touching it. One look at gameplay footage was all I needed.
What were you expecting it to look like?
After they patched day 1 it's been fine for me, although I've not played online. After the day 1 patch the launcher was different so my guess is they accidentally went live with a pre-release build. In any case, non-online on playstation is absolutely fine now.
@@Handles_are_garbage Good to hear, but I have an old copy of #2 for any offline play. Most people were only interested in online
Animal well is releasing really close to my birthday :) I'm real excited
That last seconds... Pure Art
the ending montage reminded me of your classic "teemo is the best right now" vid, really got hit with the nostalgia of watching that back when video games were actually good
Name of the video please 🙏?
@@novitrix9671 League of Legends : Best Champion
@@b0jang Thank you!
3:50 great yamcha tribute
I sure hope Bigmode is gonna treat us GOG players well :o I really am excited to support you guys
Yes I needed to see a video like this
I loved this game as a Kid and I still love it now. Though, i never do multiplayer online. This game has always been best to play with local co-op/splitscreen/LAN.
Yes - you could set up such epic battles because the players are so much better than the bots, but they still mattered in the outcome of the game. It was like two masters in a dual but on a real battlefield. My son and I used to play these for hours every weekend, Hoth would have some especially epic duals: being down to just me holed up in a bunker against him and 60+ reinforcements still waiting, switching from the technician (med/supply pack) to the assault (I think: land mines and rocket launcher) while trying to keep the ammo and health Droid operational. I had the award pistol so I could hold them off, such epic battles...
Me and my brother played the heck outta split screen on ps2
That was the best trailer I’ve ever seen for an indie game very excited for animal well. I hope it truly lives up to your word
Please chase
If you have a bunch of nostalgic items you might feel ok with gettng rid of some of them if you go through and photograph them so you still have something you can look back on. I had a box of a bunch of stuff that I had for years until I finally did this
the montage at the end is spot on. Sometimes a game is so bad it makes you question why tf do you even like video games and if they were ever good to begin with
Haha great video! Thanks for using the clips! Fingers crossed that Aspyr fixes the classic collection, I'm not overly hopeful though. Cheers!
I think he was kinda clowning how castrastrophy-ing youtubers like you are acting about classic collection LOL like you guys are farming the nostalgia bait concern trolling while dunkey is having fun is how I read it
@@spyczechThat’s a bit of a reach lmao
@@spyczechI mean, he's highlighting the issues of the launch it was in, he's just making it funny. No one else would want to experience these issues.
First time I ever played Star Wars Battlefront was in my friend's attic. It was on a projector screen and we were jacked up on Mountain Dew and Monster.
Didn't sleep at all that night, seemed like a fever dream, still remember all of it.
Life was great back than.
