Within a year of this PS2 classic's 2005 launch, Kratos was already being boiled down to an angry brute, at times even within official PS marketing materials. Nearly 20 years later, with a whole second saga of games that's redefined this series and its anti-hero, it's time to revisit both the original God of War and its development - to see how that development defined both the game and its later evolution...and to see how it changed the dynamic of PlayStation's internal development as a whole.Support future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltCheck out Crub, my podcast "super"-group with a bunch of creator pals! bit.ly/CrubcastBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

The Death of THQ: From Billions to Bankrupt in 5 Years The Golden Bolt 2023-11-16 | Check out Manta Sleep here bit.ly/3P0vUwc and use code GOLDENBOLT for 10% off your order!In 2007, THQ posted its first billion dollar year. In 2012, it was bankrupt. THQ's collapse is the story of a company caught in the crossroads of a recession, a new console generation, and an industry shakeup - all hitting at the peak of its business. It's the story of a company with two warring internal divisions, with a CEO that refused to break up the fights or make the hard decisions.. Unlike so many other game studios during this era, however...THQ should have made it out alive, and it almost did. It had a strategy in place should the licensed game well start to dry up, and it even executed on that plan; it just didn't fully commit.

The official Xbox games on the Game Boy The Golden Bolt 2023-08-22 | Sign-up for Rakuten and get a $30 sign-up bonus - rakuten.com/r/BUSINE3358What's the first Xbox game to release on a non-Xbox system? Well, from Solitaire to Monster Trucks to Banjo-Kazooie, Microsoft released 3 games for the Game Boy Color and 6 for the Game Boy Advance - all AFTER officially announcing its entrance into the console wars with the Xbox. Microsoft even co-published an N64 game with Rockstar in 1999! However, depending on how you want to count things - depending on if you count Rare's GBA games as "true" Xbox games since they were in production before Microsoft purchased the company - the first Xbox game to release outside of the Xbox brand dropped in 2003 on the GBA...and it's from a game series more associated with PlayStation than Xbox.

Twisted Metal: The Complete History | The Golden Bolt The Golden Bolt 2023-07-26 | You can't tell the story of the PlayStation without telling the story of Twisted Metal, and yet Twisted Metal's history has rarely been told in full. A franchise pioneered by a team of mostly engineers who had never before made a video game - led by a Sony employee who after only about a year of employment was on the last straw - and a game that was ruthlessly mocked both by Sony's higher brass and play testers ahead of launch...which immediately won game of the year, became the system's first true blockbuster exclusive, and helped kickstart the era of the PlayStation. This is the complete story behind the underdog series, ahead of its television revival.Subscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/joinLead Editor: @MykonosFan "The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

The Sims Weird Console Story Modes - The Golden Bolt The Golden Bolt 2023-02-19 | Between 2003 and 2007, six Sims console games were released across PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and Wii - half of which never made their way back to PC. Even better, four of them owe their existence to The Urbz, the first Sims game designed for console...which ended up releasing third. With console-exclusive features such as direct control of your Sim and entire story campaigns, even "ports" like The Sims 2 are completely unique games built from the ground-up for the home console experience. Let's revisit this weird era of Sims console games, their unique story modes, and more!Subscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join0:00 Intro/Development History 7:22 The Sims Console18:36 The Sims: Bustin' Out22:15 The Urbz: Sims in the City33:16 The Sims 2 Console40:07 The Sims 2: Pets40:55 The Sims 2: Castaway"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

Ratchet & Clanks addictive fan mod: My new favorite way to play R&C - The Golden Bolt The Golden Bolt 2023-02-14 | Make sure to visit buyraycon.com/TGB for 15% off your order!This is the story and behind-the-scenes development of Ratchet & Clank's most addictive fan mod, and my new favorite way to play Ratchet & Clank 1.I didn't expect to come back to Ratchet & Clank so soon after my retrospective series had finished, but then while working on my Rift Apart video, I found a new thread that I had to keep pulling on: The Ratchet & Clank Randomizer mod. A fan-made (sort-of-)mod that technically isn't a mod at all, this Randomizer completely rewrote how I saw the first R&C game, and it took me from not wanting to think about the games after two years of working on videos about them...to not being able to get enough of playing the first game over and over again.

The Rise and Fall of Tak and the Power of Juju (Full Series Retrospective) The Golden Bolt 2022-09-30 | Of all the "B-list" or second tier of platformers during the PS2/GameCube/Xbox era, Tak may be the most fascinating: A game series developed in partnership with Nickelodeon, alongside plans for a tie-in cartoon...but a series that ended BEFORE the cartoon could reach the airwaves. The Tak trilogy released as three very different kinds of game, all in the span of three short years, and then just disappeared. It's the product of a developer crunching across multiple licensed projects at once, a studio that was bought out by Nickelodeon's competitor Disney, ending the Tak saga before it had the chance to bloom.But are the Tak games worth the rosy, nostalgic recollection that many players have of them? And what about that Tak cartoon, and the fourth Tak game made to tie into it? This Tak and the Power of Juju series retrospective has you covered - let's look at this blink-and-you'll-miss-it series from cover to cover.Subscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join0:00 Intro4:10 Tak's origins, dev, and Tak 122:21 Tak 239:24 Tak 351:06 Tak's Nick cartoon and the Guardians of Gross59:47 Conclusion: Can Tak make a comeback?"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

I wouldn't. Somehow, though, this oft-forgotten early PS1 platformer not only received a number of even more forgotten sequels - it may just be one of the most important games of all time, with its 1994 tech demo allegedly providing direct inspiration to Nintendo ahead of Super Mario 64. A game developed by the team responsible for Star Fox AND for creating the modern FPS control scheme on consoles, Croc's journey is a wild one that snakes its way through the paths of so many other series and companies.

The Development of Ratchet & Clank PS4 - Gamings Most Successful Failure The Golden Bolt 2022-05-01 | When you look at Ratchet & Clank PS4 six years later, you might just assume it was a bad game, as it's been the subject of more scorn and put under a larger microscope than any other game in the franchise. A game made to tie into 2016's Ratchet & Clank movie and a retelling of the original R&C's story, Ratchet PS4 quickly became the most successful R&C game to date, a game that was well-liked by both critics and fans alike...and it just as quickly soured in the eyes of many other fans due to its struggles adapting the original 2002 game's story. What led to this game's shift in perception - and more importantly, why did Ratchet PS4 turn out the way that it did? With more information about both the Ratchet & Clank game and movie's production history, the hazy picture quickly clears up. This Ratchet & Clank PS4 retrospective will shine a full light on the production behind a game that failed at its chief goals, and was still a massive, breakthrough success.

The History of Sonics Bad Years (Documentary) - Collapse, Crunch, and Chaos in the Early 2000s The Golden Bolt 2022-04-19 | A significant chunk of Sonic the Hedgehog's history has been brushed aside simply as "the bad years," without much effort having gone into preserving the actual stories that led to Sonic's more controversial or perhaps disappointing titles: Games like Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, and to many, even Sonic Adventure 2. Each of these Sonic games has a fascinating history that's been overshadowed by other discussions - each has its own story of crunch, of layoffs, of developers losing 20+ pounds trying to meet deadlines, of a Sega that was even closer to the brink than we ever remember. Regardless of whether you feel that any of these Sonic titles ended up being good or bad, the chaos behind the scenes that led to these games explains essentially everything about them - and the stories are far worse than we tend to hear. These are the true stories behind Sega's collapse, the fall of Sonic Team, and the "dark era" of Sonic games.Subscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltMugs, Merch, & More! http://bolt.merch.hausBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus Retrospective - The Golden Bolt The Golden Bolt 2022-03-14 | Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus isn't just the epilogue to the Ratchet & Clank's Future Saga of games; it's not just a return to form after two polarizing spinoffs. It's a tale as old as the series itself, another R&C game developed on a short timeline, another game packed full of ambitious ideas and even more that never made it off of the early design pages. The idea of "what if?" is the biggest constant throughout the entire Ratchet & Clank series - and it only makes sense that this game would tackle that what-if head-on.Subscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

Were Ratchet & Clanks Spinoffs Really That Bad? | All 4 One & Full Frontal Assault Retrospective The Golden Bolt 2022-02-12 | There's a clear line in the sand marking the different eras of Ratchet & Clank: There's the PS2 Saga, the PS3's Future Saga, and then after 2010 things get...weird. The "bad batch" era of Ratchet & Clank only makes up two of the worst-received games in the R&C series, All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault, but these two games are sometimes considered the first steps in the downfall of the franchise. Looking back a decade later with more insight into their development, was the Spinoff Era as bad as many fans say, or are they hated more for being different than truly "bad?"

Trying (and Failing) to Love Sonic Adventure 2 - A Retrospective The Golden Bolt 2021-12-13 | After learning to love Sonic Adventure recently, I was excited to give the sequel the same shot, to see if maybe I'd come around on Adventure 2 as well. Sadly, that didn't happen - with so many odd changes and decisions made, I find Sonic Adventure 2 to be a flat-out weird game. BUT, thanks to my research into Sonic Adventure 2's unbelievably chaotic development, I understand what happened. Even if I didn't find much to love about it, I found a ton to appreciate about this weird game...even if it may not be in the way that long-time fans would agree with.Keep the fun going, check out MykonosFan's video on the history of Sonic game compilations/collections! youtube.com/watch?v=mU2RunwfCmMSubscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time Retrospective & Development Deep Dive The Golden Bolt 2021-11-12 | Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time is widely considered the peak of the R&C franchise, thanks to its heartbreaking story and character moments, its gameplay innovations, and its larger-than-life feel - the energy of a game greater than the sum of its parts. However, to me, it's not the best Ratchet and Clank game...it's another good one. It's the game where Insomniac's years of rushed development finally caught up to it. A Crack in Time is a game that simply shouldn't have been possible in its 10 short months of production, but it's a game that falls very short of its own goals because of that crunch. This is the story of reward over consequence.All 4 One & Full Frontal Assault Retrospective: youtu.be/jSui8W1f-z4Subscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

Learning to Love Sonic Adventure - A Retrospective The Golden Bolt 2021-10-12 | This Sonic Adventure retrospective is a little bit different, not coming from the perspective of a long-time fan, or of somebody using the series for easy jokes and brownie points. This is the journey I took to dial the clock back two decades, how I got into the mindset of playing Sonic Adventure like it was 1999 once again. This is the journey that led to me opening my heart and learning to love Sonic Adventure.WATCH NEXT: Sonic Adventure 2 Retrospective youtube.com/watch?v=8srIEYsAEEUSubscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

Ratchet & Clank Future Retrospective & Development Deep Dive The Golden Bolt 2021-08-28 | This is the story of one broken promise, a promise that's hurt every Ratchet & Clank game since 2007's Tools of Destruction.Ratchet & Clank has always been defined by its ambition, and this ambition was never clearer than with the PS3's Ratchet & Clank Future Saga: A multi-game story arc that aimed to be too big for any one game. However, some of the folks at Insomniac Games had promised much more than they could achieve, telling Sony representatives that R&C Future: Tools of Destruction would have full multiplayer and co-op support - features that were NEVER in production. The Future Saga would never recover from this promise, as Insomniac rushed to "make it up" to their upset publisher, and the Ratchet & Clank series has paid the price for it ever since.A Crack in Time Retrospective: youtu.be/GbzyTqLjrsoSubscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltBecome a Channel Member! youtube.com/channel/UCIySeFc0rD9_WK5CRCuB_oA/join"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

Ratchet: Deadlocked Retrospective - Adapt or Die | The Golden Bolt The Golden Bolt 2021-07-08 | Where do you go after achieving everything you'd set out to do with your game? What do you do after releasing three consecutive hits in back to back years? Can you strike gold FOUR times in a row?Ratchet: Deadlocked (or Ratchet: Gladiator) was a game whose development focused around one motto: Adapt or Die. In a rapidly-evolving, maturing market, with mascot platformers quickly falling out of vogue, Ratchet & Clank was one of the few series that held firm. But, could Insomniac pull it off again without getting stale? Or would their willingness to shake things up come back to bite them on this project? There's no question that Ratchet: Deadlocked adapted, but whether it died in the process may depend on who you ask...WATCH NEXT: Ratchet & Clank Future Retrospective youtu.be/k-TX-UBkskMSubscribe for more! http://bit.ly/TGBSubSupport future videos! http://www.patreon.com/TheGoldenBoltFollow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltTimestamps:0:00 Intro1:36 The Fourth Game Slump; Early Deadlocked Concepts7:53 A R&C Story Without R&C17:41 The PS3 Port Debacle19:13 100% Combat; Deadlocked's Pacing Struggles29:30 Is Deadlocked R&C's Black Sheep?33:40 Co-Op: How Deadlocked Found Its Edge(s)39:22 The Intangibles 244:41 The Missed Opportunities52:20 Oh, Right, the Story!59:22 An Uneven Game Rescued by Time1:02:42 Conclusion"The Golden Bolt Theme" composed by AllHailBuckets.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal Retrospective & Development Deep Dive The Golden Bolt 2021-05-26 | Even over 15 years later, Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal is the highest-rated game in the Ratchet franchise, and to this day it's Insomniac's most acclaimed video game. Ratchet 3 is also my favorite game of all time. BUT, that's not going to stop me from breaking the game down, digging deeper into its development than ever before, and exploring what Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal looked like during its production. I've come out of this retrospective looking at this, my favorite game of all time, MUCH differently - and I think the same will happen to you, too! This is Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal.This is the most comprehensive retrospective and development documentary that's ever been produced about a Ratchet & Clank title, featuring never-before revealed information about Up Your Arsenal's development, including details on the game's cut space combat, interviews with and information sourced from former Insomniac employees that worked on Ratchet 3, and much more!WATCH NEXT: Ratchet: Deadlocked Retrospective youtube.com/watch?v=cHsramwwQfoRatchet & Clank's Crossovers in Other Games (feat.
