Mine eyes have seen the glory of another Civil War FPS. Who keeps making these? This video was recorded live at / oboeshoesgames Shoutout to the Patrons / oboeshoesgames
Funnily enough the Confederates were very lucky in 1st Bull Run Many of the Rebel regiments were experienced , having fought in South America as mercenaries However , they were used to bayonet charging peasants They charged into a Union Line and was immediately shattered from a single volley
For those who don't know, "The Bluecoats" is a Belgian comic that features two union soldiers, the ones on the menu screen, having shenanigans through the theatres of the civil war. I never imagined that someone would want to make a game based on it, especially a risk tbs that features nothing from the original comics...
this is like if someone make a Tintin game with elements of a cover shooter like Gears of War, and the game is consisted of 80% shooting, 20% puzzle solving
Fun fact: the rifle you see in the fps mode is an actual rifle. Obviously this one is a cartoonified version but it is a semi-accurate depiction of the Spencer rifle. It's an early lever action that required you to manually cock the hammer after every shot unlike the Henry and its predecessors which used the bolt to cock the hammer for you. As shown in the game, rounds are loaded through the butt of the stock.
Fun fact tunique bleu (blue coat) is a very famous belgian comic about the US civil war that has been going on since the 60's without interruption and will probably outlast us all. So if you want to read a somewhat accurate description of the New York riot with so-so historical description I'm sure you can pirate it.
Having played the original years ago It's amazing how little they chose to add or embellish. The original game had just enough content to be a fun 2 player boardgame you could play with a friend for 15 minutes, but not much else. This version had decades of advancement in the industry to draw from and all they did was add one new mechanic with the FPS segments.
I'm pleased to see 30 years later they changed a lot of stuff but did nothing to make the game fun, true to the Amiga classic. Anyway you're not a real N&S OG unless the first thing you do is select the cannon, hit the fire button and blow yourself up.
Holy cow dude, I miss that game, I literally haven't had any interaction with that game since I played it back then. My cloudy young teen nostalgic memory makes me want to play it again, but I'm sure if I did, I'd develop different opinions.
@@epsilon6516yes! I never owned it, but my friends that did said it was so cool so I thought it was cool by proxy. They let me borrow it, and I vaguely remember getting frustrated trying to finish the campaign, but still thought it was so cool. Same with multiplayer. Man... such nostalgic garbage.
@@linkh200 I had to rearrange the controls because by default you shake the nunchuck to throw grenades so I just blew myself up every I moved my left hand one millimeter
@@epsilon6516 I remember always having issues with trying to melee with thrusting the Wiimote forward. I also totally forgot they made a second one. Wanted to try it so bad haha
There is something which is similar to a read dead extraction shooter, it's called "Hunt: Showdown", tho it's technically more of a undead nightmare extraction shooter since it has zombies and stuff
In the original Amiga fort and train levels were crappy side scrollers, iirc you had to reach the end to swap flags/steal the gold, and instead of a rifle you had a kinfe you could throw and maybe punching? Anyway, not fun.
Yes! We played this a heck of a lot on NES. We figured out you could spread out the ground troops using the rock on the battlefield. And the sleeping Mexican that would randomly wake up and kill a unit.
Honestly not a terrible concept for a game, the idea of risk, with a bit of resource management like the gold, and more involved combat in the form on micro rts and fps segments.
Wow nice ! C'est "Les Tuniques Bleues" ! It's "The Bluecoats", a bandes dessinées (franco-belgian comics books) from my childhood. I didn't know it was a game ! I'll propably buy it now :D and Ben Quadinaros as a profile pic rofl
I have no idea why, but this dude yellin “I’m union, I’m union” while blasting ppl point blank in the face has had me laughing for literal days. I also say “he’s 1 horse” for anyone actin a fool now
The Bluecoats was such a fire comic and were a really good showing of the two types of soldiers in the civil war and don’t forget the disorder of it too.
I remember playing the Original North vs South on Super Nintendo. I still hear that song when you get reinforcements 😂 And the part just before the battle where one side shoots a cannon ball over the other army to signify the start of the battle.
Holy shit i just had a childhood memory unlocked by that thumbnail. I read so much of that comic, Tin Tin, Splint & Co (Spirou et Fantasio), and Vakse Viggo (Gaston Lagaffe). I have no idea why those comics were everywhere for me considering im not Belgian or French
The amount of nostalgia for me seeing this.. All the details.. where the indian and the mexican is standing.. the forts.. it all just looks so close to how i remember it.
OMG!! I have the entire comic book series! Blutch and Chesterfield! I also have 'bluecoats North vs South' on Steam and of course played the original game on the old Amiga and NES. Great to see this coming back. get hold of their rail system and you win. Plunder gold.
Its painful to watch you play the FPS mode, so many times you walk past the ammo on the ground THAT HAS ANIMATIONS, and you refused to melee so many times just getting obliterated.
This guy seems chill enough but he is so aggravatingly terrible at the FPS portion AND the RTS portion, at one point he misses THREE point blank shots on a dude, gets hit twice by him, and then when he FINALLY shows enough patience to take the necessary half a second needed to aim- instead of continuing to just spam attack- when he has a PERFECT headshot, he instead turns around and runs away And dont even get me started on how he basically sacrifices his units to cannons, and how it took him more than half the game to realize “oh so, if the enemy cavalry is in the middle of my musketeers, then I should back up BEFORE firing, or else I just shoot past the cavalry and one horse just cuts my whole platoon in half as I do nothing but (yet again) spam attack” Theres a ton more but omg, Im not one to hate on people for not knowing everything there is to know about a game or being a pro at it, but considering this is SUPPOSED to be a strategy game, he didnt put much effort in to any real strategy or common sense, and it was kinda painful at times to watch
Holy Shit! I recognize the game this was based off of. The Freelance Astronauts, one of the few first LP groups out of Something Awful, did a few sessions of it. Talk about a blast from the past.
Train fight for the NES port was such a pain. The defender player had tons of slightly weaker lives while you had one and had to do pinpoint inputs to survive through it. Kind of sad to see the sidescrolling bit of that replaced with a weak unity looking FPS.
Oboe out here acknowledging other global shit happened in the 1860’s besides the US Civil War… You cultured gentleman. Speaking of the 1860’s, oboe should definitely consider playing SGS Taiping. You know that other civil war. The civil war whose death toll goes into the tens of millions… The games a little janky but pretty fun :)
I have played a remake (before this game came out) on the ios which makes this a remake of a remake, but this one is much better, I gotta get this game.
Dumb question, but is the "I'm Union. I'm Union. I'm Union" and other kinda repeats in the FPS section a specific reference? To somebody else or another of his videos?
For those who don't know "North and South" was originally a 1989 NES game based on the Belgian "Bluecoats" comic series. This appears to be a remake of that game.
*First Battle*
"Wait we lost? I thought we had more!"
oboe roleplaying as a Union General during First Bull Run is pretty cathartic.
Funnily enough the Confederates were very lucky in 1st Bull Run
Many of the Rebel regiments were experienced , having fought in South America as mercenaries
However , they were used to bayonet charging peasants
They charged into a Union Line and was immediately shattered from a single volley
That is completely false. No Confederate regiments served outside the US. I think you know that? @@danielomar9712

yes but i think it was only used for dragoons
Most guns at the time required manual cocking of the hammer
I thought it was a musket with a lever animation due to Lazy Develepors

Interesting how all the good comics with French as the original language are all from Belgium...
@@JukaDominatorAsterix is from France, as is Valérian and Laureline
@@baudsp c'est un trolleur, il en a rien à secouer que la moitié des trucs parus dans Pilote soient "locaux"
MAN! North & South is literally an adaptation of "Tunique Bleu", hence the same artsyle!
@@jedrzejsmietanski9782 I mean the title screen literally has "The Bluecoats" above it, so yep!
Truly an analogy for the civil disorder between those with an interesting fact, and those with an important fact.
And then there're the dormant outliers with a very cool fact. "Very cool" sounds very patronizing.

@@AverageMann same
Remember playing it in 1989 on my Atari ST … was fun despite pretty basic!
The original had hilarious music!
I love how the battles are just rock paper scissors.
Cannon beats infantry
Infantry beats cav
Cav beats cannon
1 cav walked backwards can beat all
I dont even use the cannons, they only serve as a distraction while i move in the troops and the cavalry
In reality cannon beats everyone.
This is just actual war footage
Disappointed there was no sawing off a leg with no anesthesia minigame.
you forgot the wheel at the end that spins to determine if the patient dies of gangrene or not
I'm pleased to see 30 years later they changed a lot of stuff but did nothing to make the game fun, true to the Amiga classic.
Anyway you're not a real N&S OG unless the first thing you do is select the cannon, hit the fire button and blow yourself up.
Dodging health kits like the plague, classic
Why would anyone make a new fps, when the perfect fps (The Conduit for Nintendo Wii 2009) already exists?

I agree, full cringe.💀
It’s not pain to watch because of cringe but pain to watch because of his decision, also sometimes it look like he has memory of gold fish
I can only watch for 10 minute..
He lose again and again..
Hope he get better at gaming.
Might come back and watch
@@Somedude_jdjdi I love oboe but he is so bad at games lmao
@@DCPA6669thats kinda the fun of watching him play isnt it?
My great great great grandfather died on a civil war surgeons table clutching his Amiga.
Never thought I’d see “The Bluecoats” getting adapted for gaming audiences, but it’s awesome to see Belgian comics get some love.
It already was in 1989 … this is an inflated version of the good old Amiga/Atari ST game!
There is something which is similar to a read dead extraction shooter, it's called "Hunt: Showdown", tho it's technically more of a undead nightmare extraction shooter since it has zombies and stuff
Interesting
Your cute :3
Undead Nigtmare 2
Me watching Oboe completely ignore the health pickup several times during the fort battle

Had this on the nes, absolutely loved it then, especially robbing the trains and racing the boot on the fort

Ya, I LOVED this game on the NES!! So cool to see it revitalized!
The stab from behind mechanic is pretty game breaking.
Honestly not a terrible concept for a game, the idea of risk, with a bit of resource management like the gold, and more involved combat in the form on micro rts and fps segments.
The level of competency this man has sometimes is shocking

It is an improved version if the 1989 game … was absolute cult back then!
"Mom, can we have War of Rights?"
"We have War of Rights at home"
War of Rights at home:
War of Rights doesn't have Spencer rifle train missions

I played North and South on NES it was a game I was initially disappointed with but then it turned out to be pretty fun.

They look like extras from the Garfield show.
I love how clueless Oboeshoes is at all these games 😂
Now oboe has served 35 tours in the civil war.
lmao your Amiga joke at the beginning KILLED me
I remember playing the Original North vs South on Super Nintendo.
I still hear that song when you get reinforcements 😂
And the part just before the battle where one side shoots a cannon ball over the other army to signify the start of the battle.
I really liked when he said cut em down and then he cut em down
“He’s one volley!” Actually pretty funny
Holy shit i just had a childhood memory unlocked by that thumbnail.
I read so much of that comic, Tin Tin, Splint & Co (Spirou et Fantasio), and Vakse Viggo (Gaston Lagaffe). I have no idea why those comics were everywhere for me considering im not Belgian or French
They should give you a Gatling Gun for the defense modes
why are they fighting over a country when we could use their help against the reapers?
I love old Belgian and French comedy comics. The comics are fun, why can't they make the game fun :"
The original 1989 game was mega fun!
"The cavalry always gets through"
The amount of nostalgia for me seeing this.. All the details.. where the indian and the mexican is standing.. the forts.. it all just looks so close to how i remember it.
OMG!! I have the entire comic book series! Blutch and Chesterfield!

OMG i remember a youtuber called figghen played this like five years ago and I loved to watch it and you playing this brings back memories 😌
Yo the PVP callouts are killing me lol
I'd usually ask for more space blart at this point, but I've got spacefieldman on my laptop pc game station now. Sarah forced me to meet her mum. 😢
DUDE, I remember playing the free version for the mobile version, I unlocked a childhood memory with this :)
wow the you walked right passed the amunntion.
That history channel fps was great despite some missions being a royal pain it was still super fun
Battlefield 2042 but better
The title makes me think of the Brandt Line
for a moment i thought this was postman pat WWI edition
Holy crap, i used to play the original version of this game on my old laptop years ago. Never knew the name
I’ve actually read this S-tier comic
The art design make this look like an education game😂
I played this on the NES so much! Loved it after figuring out how to play and actually win.
hell yeha, the blue coats, I love that comic.
"Who knows what demyelinating means anyway?" Alright, I am not the target demographic....

Elite cavalry strats
Is it on steam?

“No mom, I only play south because Rey have a better starting location, I swear!”

As a Frenchman I have several Tuniques Bleues (bluecoats) comics
"The Bluecoats" is also a Belgian cartoon
nothling like supporting your older subscribers too oboe... i thank you and you highlight a crayon eater..... thats all i needed to know.
I remember having this app on my Meep back in the day
This is based on a French comic that I love. It even has important figures like Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses grant
It is based on the 1989 Amiga & Atari game which was based upon the comics …

i played this game on the NES when i was a kid
This was my favorite back in 2014. I had a weird cracked version I think. Fun game.
Since you're a civil war FPS afficionado, are you going to play the Gods and Generals PC game? I think it would be a pretty good fit for your channel.
As a southerner, I'm still salty about the war, our schools thaught us about the Union oppressing the South and taking advantage of us smh
12:20
I just fuckin lost it with all the parodying of competitive jargon

Why does it have an Asterix art style?
Hey i remember playing a similar game in my tablet, it was really fun
bruh i remember when North vs. South first launched LMFAO
Lever Action Musket LOL😂😂😂😂
How many times can you say Union in one video?
The old one was on NES too I used to play it all the time
Napoleonic Wars FPS when
I think I missed the history class where the union learned to counter the confederates by riding their horses in reverse
Get back at me when they make a revolutionary war fps game or a French Revolution fps
The civil war is wayyyy to modern for me
This is actually a remake of a classic amiga game with this same title.
Amiga & Atari ST!
Hmm reminds me of History Channel the Civil War which was Turn Based Strategy game.
For those who don't know "North and South" was originally a 1989 NES game based on the Belgian "Bluecoats" comic series.
This appears to be a remake of that game.
It was an Amiga & Atari ST game in 1989 … NES came a year later.
Dat default quake 2 jump sound. Is it a mod? That's funny
At 6:04 I apparently subscribed without knowing you were streaming. Weird.
It used to be a mobile game, now they made a sequel
Great vid only part made me sad was when you didnt cuttem down ;c
I remember playing this game from my phone...
That was a remake of the 1989 game!
I used to play this a lot as a kid, this was included in cheap chinese dvd players back in the day.
Its a 1989 Amiga & ST game … DVD … 🤣 … did not know it came with those a decade later.
Can i use this video as a reference for my history paper? They never check the links anyway.
