We've got a special! And I do mean special, because this is the longest video I've ever put out, eclipsing the Blood 2 Rawmaster by about seven minutes. A lot needed to be discussed because Epic sucks, Unreal is great, Return to Na Pali is hilarious, and it's about time I concluded the stupid lore bits I've been sprinkling throughout the videos over the last year or so. 2023 clean slate.I'll never understand the lack of love for Unreal when compared to the other titans of the time like Doom, Quake, Half-Life, etc. Maybe Epic's live-burial of the single player games had something to do with it. Maybe, maybe not. There are touches of Unreal everywhere - in Dusk, maybe in Amid Evil a bit - but no one seems interested in really recapturing that magic, packaging it on Steam for $20 bucks and sending me a key. I'm told of Wolf3D-likes 100% more than I'm told of Unreal-likes. What a shame. 

Hopefully the audio issues (Unreal is loud) and video issues (Unreal is dark) have been worked out to provide maximum viewing pleasure. 

Prisoner 849... escaping. 

Love,

Civvie.

Fuck Epic/Sweeney for the way they treated Unreal

Franklin

The time has come!!! Time to get out the Monster Energy I've been saving in the fridge for this exact moment

Trahbox

Civiie bringing that Noah Caldwell Gervais energy! Love to see it!

Daniel D Pinali

HE DID IT, OUR BOY DID IT. Thanks Cibbie!

Threadmuter

whoa jesus an hour and 15 of civvie content. this is why i pay a valuable premium of.. uh.. one dollar a month

TyLego

RIP Unreal, fuck Epic and Sweeney!

civvie11

Fuck 'em with rusty knuckle dusters

skarjj1

i loved this game when i played it as a kid, its one of the games i grew up on.

MangleMan25

Hell yes, Unreal is one of the best shooters ever. This is gonna be a great episode

Dénes Hliva

Oh YES, this is going to be a special viewing! Too fucking bad that Epic are a bunch of hypocritical shitheads. Fuck you Tim Swiney, you used to be part of the OG's like Romero and you threw it all away and replaced it with corporate greed and double standards. Rot in hell you piece of shit

Trahbox

Also, big love for the John Peters Refrence!

civvie11

Spiders are the fiercest killers in the animal kingdom.

Alex Gonzalez

Glorious upload. I love the length. If we ever get the finale to Half Life I would adore even a three hour MOVIE!

TheBozzCL

Fuck yeah! This is the game that got me into modding, which in turn got me into programming and pretty much dictated the course of my life afterward. I still remember being in awe at the castle intro the first time I saw it. I played Unreal 1 almost exclusively for years, until I finally got my hands on UT and its sequels.

Marc Thomas

Great video! Liking how you have more meta-content with the bots. Funny stuff.

TheBozzCL

I hadn't heard that the old games got delisted. Now I'm sad. Fuck Epic.

Kyle Sepessy

I remember briefly playing Unreal as a kid going through my dad's collection of pc games and demo discs. Can't say I played enough to be nostalgic for it, but I'm happy to learn more about it. Thanks for the video Civvie.

Kouhstipher

That bastard Tim couldn't even keep the games on GOG?! That's soul crushing.

Trollan Kojima

Unreal was a powerhouse to me, as a child. I played Unreal's co-op every night after school for a solid year, on Gamespy Arcade. After a couple months, there was a really neat mod that added different "classes" - like an alien with a quad-laser cannon, grim reaper, etc. - and we'd all pick a class and play through on increasingly harder difficulties. It also disabled picking up certain weapons/items, so one of us playing a class with a fire/plasma projectile would have to take lead in darker levels to light the way. Was a really unique experience, in an extremely unique for it's time game world.

Argon Productions

Nothing better than a Very Special Episode of Civvie!

Merjia

I’ll order a pizza, this is going to be a marathon. Fuck yeah

John Doe

Pizza would have went great with this. Unfortunately for me, I just put my dog on a keto diet, so I cant eat pizza in front of him anymore.

drrockso20

you forgot one single player Unreal experience that must be conquered, I'm talking about the campaign mode for Unreal Championship 2: Liandri Conflict for the original Xbox

clem fandango

I have to wonder if there's any chance for any UT content, even if it's fairly minimal. There's a lot of interesting 1999 shooter aesthetics and ideas going on with a lot of those maps, even beyond the obvious stuff like Facing Worlds.

Andrew J

Fantastic work as always - simply seeing it again has me resinstalling UT99! Unfortunately I can already see dozens of Youtube comments asking, "did you know you can jump down into the water at 12:45 and explore the area?" in my mind's eye. You have my sympathies.

civvie11

I had footage from down there (I took the elevator) but it may have been cut.

Peter Ryder

Unreal, was great, Unreal Tournament even better. Ridiculous for Epic to remove them both.

Andrew Dantalion

Hmm...Civvie if ya want a real 90's throwback on your channel I haven't seen many people cover...check out the Space Bar from Segasoft...Its an adventure game, pretty interesting relic, though not sure if you could get it to run (it enjoyed hard crashing to desktop even in the 90s) Thanks for the Unreal Vid!

Mathis Blair

One of my first pc games ever was Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament. Truth be told I never beat gold. It scared me too much as a kid. BUT.... I played the ever loving shit out of Unreal Tournament and watching this video finally explained to me why playing against the A.I. DIDN'T feel like playing against A.I. No wonder they were so fast. As a kid who didn't have internet at the time; I got to enjoy as close to a real multiplayer experience I could get at the time because of that man's fine invention. Wonderful. Truly awesome. Thanks for digging up these old memories! Now to go find me some copies of the games somewhere.

ArtolSki

I think you should let "You see a lot of the areas are copied and pasted, whole hallways, rooms, so it gets a little confusing" have its own counter

Ray Of Imagination

Goodness. Unreal. That opening to the Falls after escaping the ship. It's up there with playing Unreal Tournament and playing the map Morpheus/FacingWorld/Phobos. I got pissed way back when Epic were advertising Unreal Tournament 3 and in the advertisement it said, "From the makers of 'Gears of War'"... I was like WHAT?! Ya'll did your foundational games dirty. Not respecting the past like... I don't know when the next "Unreal" game will happen. I hope to create a series based on the Universe of Unreal but... time will tell. Thank you for putting the time and effort into this video. Good times and hopefully, this educates future game makers about what goes into a game world.

I hope this means Civvie is going back to the shithole OG cell and stricken of all his amenities like toilet and comfortable gaming chair and regular food for a while

civvie11

That gaming chair has spikes in the arms lol

Suckerpunch5000

It's been decades since I last played Unreal, I don't own a copy anymore and now that it's delisted I can't (Fuck you Tim) but I'm almost certain that if you start charging the rocket launcher with M1 and then hold M2, when it fires the rockets are in a tight circular pattern rather than spread out horizontally. This video has been out for quite awhile and I haven't delved to deep into the comments, so it might have been brought up already.
