DOOM 2016 doesn't have anywhere near the amount of gore some older games do. I'm not trying to shit on DOOM 2016, but it wasn't original in terms of gore at all. Most of DOOM 2016's gore is inspired by Brutal Doom anyway.

The most gory game that I played was Dwarf Fortress. In that game, you can sever limbs, punch out teeth, chop off heads, and then pick them all up and put them in your bag. It's ASCII graphics aren't revolutionary, but it's the implication of violence that makes it an extremely gory. It's the only game I know where you can blind a man using in-game fighting mechanics.

Even graphically realistic displays of violence seem tolerable as long as there is a justifiable context behind them. In contrast, graphically subpar games displaying violence can ruffle feathers if the context is unsettling enough, such as being a torturer, mass shootings, or terrorism.

There's a reason for that, the blood and gore in most games is just a means to an end in the story-line. Not Hatred, the player doesn't eviscerate someone in order to save his family. Violence is the endgame. Not only games like Hatred create parental butt-hurt and fuel for FOX NEWS' propaganda machine, the semi-indie gaming industry (not talking about you, EA, YOU PIECE OF SHIT !) doesn't want heat like that on their future work because it limits what they can do in games they're developing and the sales they're able to rake in. But then again, Destructive Creations (it's Creator) made this game as an art piece a la Damien Hirst (the guy who put a cow's head in a glass box full of flies and called it art). In a way they're saying:"If this game offends you, then it's not for you."

I feel like if Hatred were better made, then more people would like it. The execution animations were nice, if a little tame, and the way the movement and shooting works may be fun.

I think that the guys from Extra Credit summed the matter brilliantly. The point isn't that Hatred was violent..infact it wasn't that violent. The fact is that it was sadistic, without a purpose, a message or being silly. It was sadistic, which is different than being gorey It's not like in GTA, where you do what you do because you want to earn money, it's the objective of the mission or simply because it's fun to have the police chase you; and it's not like in Spec Ops, where there is a story-telling purpose behind the violence. The whole premise of hatred is: you're a "normal" guy who hates people, and you like to see them suffer. That's it. And it was played out as 100% serious, no silly or humorous stuff in it. I personally think that it makes a huge difference.

"... flinging gore at a player is a caricature of carnage, reassuring the conscious mind that it's all just a game." Good line. And good video in general.

Phantasmogoria is horrific by today's standards. That face being torn about is awfully realistic and I can see why that caused a stir.

Can you do 'A Breif History of Aiming' You could start with Wolfenstein and Doom where you had to use the cursor keys to aim. Perhaps then go on to mouse-aiming and why it was so hard to program up-down aiming as well as right-left aiming. Why do some games have crosshairs while some don't? Maybe even go into the evolution of hit-scan and projectile detection.

Ghost of Tsushima is an absolutely amazing game that has one of the most violent juxtapositions I’ve ever seen. The entire game is BEAUTIFUL. The combat is GRUESOME. You’re cutting your enemies to ribbons, poisoning them and making them puke up their own blood, your character will literally get SHOWERED in enemy viscera. And yet, once the fight is over, you clean your sword, stow it, pull out your flute, and go back to making calming music. I love it.

Those Half Life 2 graphics are still amazing to this day IMO. And this game came out in 2004.

Mighty late to the party, but I just rewatched this for the gazillionth time (I'm a huge fan of yours Stuart, your stuff is unmatched in quality, and your topics are always a great pick as well!) and I thought I might share: The engine for Thrill Kill was used for Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style (Or Wu-Tang Clan: Taste the Pain as it says on my disc), and a lot of the finishers and whatnot are kept in that game. Good fun game, and a very interesting one at that. Not many 4-way 3D fighters that I know of, and especially none with such intricate combat as it has. It's actually a bit surprising how deep it is, and how high the skill-ceiling is. Worth a try, if you ever have time for videogames outside research!

Thank you! I've been trying to remember the name of Chiller for a while and my Google skills were lacking. My parents (understandably) forbid me from playing so, of course, I had to sneak onto it every chance I got. It was one of the first arcade games I remember where you shot a gun instead of used a joystick and/or buttons. I also don't know why I haven't seen this sooner because I know I've been subbed to you for a while.

It shows you at that particular moment what you enjoy seeing, death of other people the same game gives the "enemies" have moments that they get personality which for example was this, you are on a roof top in this desert land with no escape and have to move on, there are two guys infornt of you speaking; "Do you have any gum" "Yeah, its my last one." "No man i don't want it if its your last one!" "Just take it ***** would steal it anyway.." "Well fuck that guy.." *laughs* "Man i just sometimes forget how beatiful the scenery here is.." You shoot them. Its not a cutscene or anyhting, you could have shot those guys when you first heard the word "Do" . It makes you feel what you just did.

***** Care to expand on what you mean by "...the point of those kinds of games"? I'm not challenging you or anything; I genuinely want to know what you have to say. In my own experience, those kinds of games have always been kind of... "Pointless"? (for lack of a better term). What's the message - "Killing is bad"? Well no shit. If the idea is that character death holds a lot of weight (such as in Telltale's games) then that's all well and good and I see no problems. It adds that extra layer of drama and complexity to a story. Games like Spec Ops: The Line, however, just come off as passive-aggressive nonsense to me: "You just killed a bunch of people, but that's okay. They weren't real, so why should you care?"

***** (Apologies for these big comments, by the way - I have a lot to say on topics like this). Indeed. Again, if it's for story purposes then I have no real issues. Spec Ops: The Line _ultimately_ accomplished what it set out to do: The main character underwent a *tremendous* psychological guilt-trip for his actions, and the imagery helped to solidify this. It wasn't exactly subtle about it, though. (Compared to something like *Shadow of the Colossus*, which also managed to create an emotionally draining experience, but without resorting to forced drama or theatrics). If you don't mind the tangent,Spec Ops: The Line felt like it was addressing a problem that never existed. The entire game was essentially a critique that modern shooters are removed from reality, and provide players with unrealistic, morally dichotomous escapist fantasy. This is why I asked what you meant when you said, "...you don't understand the point..." From my perspective, the point of Spec Ops wasn't necessarily to tell a compelling story about the atrocities of war - it was to force non-guilty people (i.e. average gamers) to feel guilty for engaging in fantasy violence.

Splatterhouse! Still one of my favorite games of all time.

Amazing video as always

really love this channel

You missed Killzone 3 with the brutal melee kills and Prototype. But all the ones you had shown were pretty awesome too.

Amazing video, dude. One of my favorite gore-fests of this day is Hatred. Don't know, but I just love it. Oh, and Brutal Doom.

This channel needs way more views.

Why did you leave out BloodRayne 2, Ninja Gaiden 2 and the FEAR trilogy? They are pretty important for how gore went up to higher levels.

One of the best FPSs of the mid 90s, that's for sure. Although it's not without it's issues. Probably the most polarized of the Build Engine games. Some parts are incredibly good (the level design is among the best), some parts are incredibly bad (the difficulty curve is effectively backwards).

Awesome video bro 👍

There was also a pretty bloody Warhammer game, Space Hulk, Revenge of the Blood Angels. It's quite old and it had so much gore that entire hallways were smeared with entrails and blood from ceiling to floor.

Dying light is probably my favourite, you can sever limbs and heads in a slo mo when you get a good shot, and there’s even a mission where a dogs entrails are out on a table still attached to it’s body, still a really fun game tho

TotalMetalJacket EA said it failed to meet their sales expectations. People Can Fly were ready to start work on a sequel when EA shut them down. With People Can Fly stating that EA's "sales expectations" were unreachable for a brand new IP. Most likely, EA was expecting sales along the lines of Epic's Gears of War.

Am I the only one that thinks fps games should bring back a certain amount of dismemberment? As much as I love rag doll effects I kinda miss how in certain games like cod world at war allowed you to dismember people with explosives or a shotgun

@TheSkullofskorpion

I wish they could still do that in cod games now. I hate the same stupid death animations

was just recently playing 2004's Sacred, a diablo-like hack n slash and was surprised and excited when a particularly strong hit caused an enemy to explode into a pool of blood and gristle, it was so unexpected

I don't know if many people have played it, but personally Dante's Inferno for the PS3 (and Xbox360? Idk) was one of my favorites. The boss fights were so gloriously gore filled

I know it can't really be classified as "gore", but the scariest video game weapon I've ever used was the Particle Cannon from Wolfenstein '09. Just... poof. Nobody complained since you're killing Nazis but I remember just feeling shocked. That's also why I'm psyched for The New Order as well, can't wait to see what they did with that.

With "poof" you mean the same effect of the gluon gun from Half-Life (it interacts with the object's inner stability by firing gluons [really existent particles that interact with one of the four forces of the universe, strong interaction, the one that holds the nulceus of every atom togheter], killing the target by dissolving all the connections between its very ATOMS. This means vaporizing the target, and the guy that gives the gun to you, a fellow scientist, can't even bring him with using the weapon, so he gives Gordon the gun because he has no problem using it) ?

You know there were actual studies that supported the notion that games could induce violence. Of course, those were all bollocks but in the 90s and very early 2000's people bought it. That aside I don't think people care about films as much, because films are utterly passive. You park your ass somewhere and you watch violence happen. But films don't put the choice of who, or if someone dies in your hands. So the public got up in arms about it.

A brilliantly researched documentary, although you missed a beat when you failed to mention that "Thirll Kill" was broken donw into its assets and became "Wu Tang - Shaolin Style", which is the greatest 3d fighting game ever made.

My personal favorite gory games involved the Halo Franchise. I wasn't a fan of Mortal combat or intense amounts of dismemberment. But seeing various colors of blood from the dark purple of the elites, blue of the grunts, brown/green from flood, and my favorite, the neon orange from *Hunters*. When not in a fire fight, I would be 'painting' by whacking the bodies with my melee till I got bored or the area was drenched enough to put up a wet floor sign.
