I remember when Invisible War was announced for Xbox I was so hyped. They were using a lot of cool new graphical techniques that we had not seen a ton of at that point on Xbox like advanced shadows and lighting and full bump mapping on the textures. It was awesome because it showed console players that an FPS could also be an RPG and not just run and gun. Still one of my fav OG Xbox games.
I actually didn't care for Red Faction II much though because when it came out I was still actively playing Halo CE and I really loved the first Red Faction. Both of those games had a sort of large, open and unscripted feel to the gameplay, whereas RFII felt very linear and scripted in contrast. One particular moment that I remember turning me off to RFII very early in the game is when you are shooting down these ships/planes and when you destroy them it's just a destroyed ship/plane with no enemy pilot in sight. And since I had been also playing Halo where when you shoot down an enemy Banshee the elite piloting it would fall out, it sort of broke the immersion for me.
I've always loved the Rainbow Six games on Xbox but I remember this being the one that introduced me to the toxic wasteland that is the competitive Rainbow Six multiplayer community lol.
I'm pretty sure I've played Far Cry and Medal of Honor but I don't think it was much. I may have to pick of Far Cry though and check out that map editor, that looks fun.
Great video as always.
this console created the console FPS craze that lives on today
If Microsoft teased Xbox live for original Xbox turning back on
Some FPS games I really enjoy for the original Xbox would be
Serious Sam
XIII
Soldier of Fortune Double Helix
Doom 3
Urban Chaos Riot Response
I would have included Black but you already covered that one
Have you considered doing a video on missions that were released for games on xbox live back in the day. These downloads were could be for multiplayer only focused but they also had single player missions as well. There are places you are able to download them and can be exeprienced today that i know alot of poeple have no clue about them.
Farcry instincts!!! Awesome video as always! All the games you mentioned we had growing up and did you talk about the Riddick game yet?? Its a good one!
While actually a First Person Sneaker, Thief: Deadly Shadows rarely gets its due. Like with Deus Ex: Invisible War; once you understand how to play by its rules, Thief controls like butter and has nearly endless replayability thereafter.
The amazing thing for me, is Rainbow Six 3 came with a mic. My first mic. You could command the squad with voice commands. Deus Ex Invisible War is a favourite of mine. It's flawed, yes, but for me it was the first time I got to be Alex. I was the hero. I still remember the endings. I played it a lot.
