What The Hell Happened To The Warriors?
Ойындар
2005 was a transformative time for gaming. As the sixth generation of gaming consoles was closing out and the seventh was getting started, games were suddenly able to be absolutely massive compared to what had come before. The jump from Grand Theft Auto 3 to 4, at least on a technical level, was a colossal one.
I use a Rockstar example of course because no one gaming publisher really accentuated and harnessed those differences as well and with such an apparent contrast, as they did. While many associate Rockstar’s first decade of the new millennium with Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead games, which is perfectly understandable, there were also several other classics being churned out like Manhunt, Bully and The Warriors. The latter of which, despite being perhaps the most ambitious of the three, is talked about very little today.
Why this is, is a complete mystery that makes no sense. The Warriors was a very well-made brawler action adventure game with great characters and flowed nicely into the events of the cult classic film of the same name. The game, after many years in development, was received quite well for its story, graphics, and gameplay despite being released on the aging Xbox and PlayStation 2.
A list of acclaims that Rockstar games were and still are no stranger to. That said, if the game was such a hit and did such an outstanding job portraying the tone of the film while translating it seamlessly into a video game, why didn’t we ever see it become a series, or at least get a single proper follow up? What the hell happened to The Warriors?

I was just saying this two months ago. They remastered everything else. Just update the look. If it's not broke. Then it should be super easy to just update the look.

Hey Boppers, My name is Moise Morancy. I’m the writer, director and producer on this proof of concept. I also star as Cleon in this. If you’re like me, someone who appreciates and loves “The Warriors,” you know in 2005, Rockstar created a video game based on the cult classic and gave a backstory to how the gang was formed. Myself and others believe this needs to be remade as a prequel. No one can hold a candle to the originators but I wanted to pay homage and give them their flowers. Because they weren’t good…they were “the best.” I hope you enjoy! 🙏🏿
The best game I have ever played. This channel truly surprises me.. I have been wondering why there has not been a beat’em up brawl game like the warriors since it’s release. It blows my mind how games 15 years ago are so much better than games today.. Thanks for posting this. I hope Rockstar gets it together
I literally emailed rockstar asking them to remake the game for PS3. Had a whole script and everything. They even emailed me back....but said they had no intentions of remaking it. 😞😞😞

Thank you for making this video. The Warriors is a criminally underappreciated game. It's the pinnacle of the brawler genre in my opinion. They did the source material justice in a faithful recreation of the movie while improving and expanding the lore with a prequel built in. Not to mention one of the best Easter eggs of all time disguised as an arcade box in the warriors hideout. It's an exact recreation of Double Dragon with Warriors skins. That's how you pay tribute to a genre while simultaneously elevating it to new levels. I fucking love this game!
Dude.. Seriously.. I love these "what the hell happened to".. I used to hate the title, and didn't watch any of them, because I thought it was videos where you were bashing games, like they were failures... but in reality it's just very well produced and researched videos on the games... It's brilliant, thanks for making these!
I still play this game.
Imagine an online of this with friends you can make your own gang and fight other players gangs across New York

I most definitely welcome a complete remake of the Warriors. It would be a great addition to my game library. 🤟😉👍
It still holds up fairly well, the combat feels really fierce. Loved this game so much
ROCKSTAR, REMAKE THIS MASTERPIECE!
Very good video man. Thank you.
I've been waiting for this video for a very very long time
This game was awesome and it's adventure with city history and gang lifestyle like in the warriors movie.

Started a story mode with my kid. We've been laughing the whole time on all the kfced up things we do.
Wow the timing. I've been playing through it again myself on the ps4 recently. Love each unique members finishers and rage moves. Plus the whole group command system (wreck em all for calling the cops, mayhem for looting etc) makes it feel more like running with a crew. I dig it quite a lot.
The warriors game was amazing as a kid and still is now I love it
More like what the hell happened to Bully 2. Rumors of a sequel years ago and then it faded into obscurity.
Things I want from Rockstar….. 1. A Warriors sequel or remaster 2. Grand Theft Auto 6 3. A Bully sequel 4. Manhunt 3!
I bought it a couple of weeks, and i really like it and had never played it before, i reccomend it💯, unfortunally im kinda stuck at level 7 on The chin ups 😅
Ok like the movie, a sequel is just a bad idea unless done properly but in this climate of video games I doubt it. Now a remake/remaster 👌
this brings back memories, i remember borrowing this off my neighbor back in 7th grade, now 28

Truly an exceptional game. When i read The Warriors jailbreak comic, i truly hoped that a sequel to the game would be done, the story is all there and leaves so much space for a game to expand on each of the characters stories. Recruiting everyone again, gather the bands and convince them, stack up on weapons, decision making, customize groups, train and hone up new skills. It would be one hell of a game.

Recently bought this on a ps4 sale since I love the movie haven't played it yet but excited to.
A remaster wuth online capabilities would be cool
Still have my ps2 and this game with a Blockbuster sticker on it...time goes by
Can you dig it?!
My favorite game ever. Streaming it again soon. I have a play through on my channel as well.
I can confirm 49 people in my town that still play this game and love it Puting it out there
Loved playing this game as a kid! One of the top games ever made by Rockstar imo! 🔥I love how some of the actors came back to play their characters, especially Fox. I'm glad Thomas G Waites name made it to the game's end credits rather than movie where he got fired on set. We definitely need a remaster for this game!
I don’t want a remake. I want a sequel!
We need that remake for this one one of my favorite games I re bought it on my PS4 bc it was just that good
Nobody ever brings up Rumble Mode where you can play as any of the gangs in the game.
IGN " the warriors is offensive and bloody and theirs little something for everyone 4/10 ” . jk aside this game definitely needs remake .
I don't know why but I loved being Ajax and beating the extra warriors in the hangout lmao
this game never bored for me, eventough i was finished this game many many time
A good game
Thank you for keeping The Warriors alive. My contribute is a video of all gang members special moves in full HD. I hope you like seeing Luther getting wrecked.
You gotta truly respect all the graphical and gameplay improvements today.
Need a remaster of this hidden gem. Was 8 when this game came out and was 7 the first time I saw this movie. Such a classic and has so much potential with game development nowadays
Best game ever I loved it as a kid , completed it so many times , loved the film also ... we need a remake of this game
Damn imagine getting a warriors remake for ps5 instead of getting gta6
The gameplay was amazing.
Love the movie. Love this game too. I would for sure buy a remaster of it.
I loved the side missions where other gangs would come through coney and you had to defend it with all the warriors backing you, also the 1v1 rooftop battles were elite! One of my favourites growing up as a kid no doubt.
Played this so much on my psp back in the day
Ive been about this game since i was like 10, truly the best fighting game Rockstar has made.
Loved this game! Still have it. A remaster is expected in the horizon

As far as I know there was a quasi-sequel in the making right after The Warriors was released. But not a sequel of that specific movie but a similar game without a movie license: "We Are The Mods". Well, it was kinda based on the movie "Quadrophenia". This time about the battle between Mods and Rockers in '60 england: www.unseen64.net/2018/05/05/we-are-mods-warriors-2-cancelled/ Here a direct quote from one Rockstar employee from above site: _Matt Kazan wrote on his own portfolio site: “The project had begun as a PlayStation 2 spiritual follow-up to the earlier hit ‘The Warriors’, but part way through the development cycle Rockstar New York asked us to switch Mods from a Sixth Generation to a Seventh Generation development, changing from the PlayStation 2 to the Xbox 360 as the primary development platform. Much of the content here reflects that change, with Mods being the first Seventh Generation project the team had worked on. It was a learning experience for everyone involved. The game was similar in design and style to “The Warriors” but set in 1960’s England at the height of the “Mods” vs. “Rockers” era.”_ _“We began our tenure on Red Dead Redemption (known as Red Dead Revolver 2 from here) at the beginning of 2008 after we had finished work on Manhunt 2 and Bully: Scholarship Edition,” Kazan continued, “Our primary task at Rockstar Toronto was to redo much of San Diego’s earlier artwork on RDR2, mostly props. RDR2 had began as a Sixth Generation era game, and much of the content we were redoing was artwork geared toward the PlayStation 2/Xbox. San Diego was very specific on what they wanted with each prop, in many cases requesting that we did not modify the geometry on numerous assets (other assets were remodeled entirely, though). They would provide example images and specific texture sizes and time allotted for each asset that they wanted, to which we delivered.”_
Thos os one of my favorite RockStar game. Not only did most of the original cast voice themselves but you also play through the moved as the final levels in the game.
U should make a video about Syphon Filter
This was my game! Would love a remake
Id definitely buy a remastered

Funny thing that about the Warriors game: Originally Rockstar had decided on a spinoff that wasn't related to this or the film and was called We Are The Mods. It was supposed to take place in England prior to the 1970s and have the same combat systems that the Warriors but was prematurely shelved almost like this game was going the Hulk Ultimate Destruction phase of having a spinoff game but with gameplay and controls the same.
Most ambitious really I think manhunt takes that one but great video none less btw warriors movie n game where both amazing
I wanted this game on my childhood.. and now i finaly have it so i just buy an clasic xbox for this and replay again punisher... and thit two ganes still berry enjoable
Still to this day and forever til the day I die, will this game be installed in my PS4 😌
One of my favorite games🔥
This game would have so much potential on this current generation of consoles. Imagine even a map the size of GTA IV or San Andreas. I remember that level where you had to run from the Furies and me and my buddy used to just stop and fight them for so long lmao. Or remember you could set up a rooftop rumble? Imagine concepts like that again!
The fighting on the warriors was brilliant don't know why they don't remaster it and add some online free roam and 10vs10 brawls or something
By far my fav childhood game
Definitely needs a remaster..would love to play this nowadays with better graphics
Need an online multiplayer where you join gangs with friends, collect protection, tag your turf and brawl with other players gangs
I loved this game so much. I remember unlocking cuffs and went to the free roam area in Coney and just harassing people till they called police. I then handcuffed them in one area till the point where there was like 30+ police all on the ground.
was the only 18 + game i was allowed to buy because my mum loved the movie, i never heard of it but i can mind my mum seeing it in an old ps2 magazine and being surprised a cult movie from the 70s was getting an early 2000s game
Can you play this game on Xbox one Backwards compatible if you have the physical copy???
Miss this game
My all time favorite movie.
