GUN, made by Neversoft and Activision, came out in 2005 and... I never played it...Until now! This is one of the best western games of all time and is incredibly underrated and deserves some attention, even 17 years later.

    Hey Carter here I just wanna say thanks for the shoutout and thanks for using the info, I love GUN and I’m honored to say I’m apart of the reason we now know about the sequel info!
  • @TokyoBayCity
    One of the guys who worked on this game was a family friend. Mailed me a copy autographed by the whole dev team when it released. One of the best presents I ever received as a kid, I absolutely adored this game.
  • I loved this game. I even named my first born son ‘Colton’ because of it. (His mother doesn’t know that, but she agreed on the name😂)
  • @bellyOfaTiger
    You mean to tell me I've played this game for 13 years and I'm just now finding out Colton White was voiced by The Punisher?! I love this game even more!
  • @jhitbob
    My father and I used to go "camping" where we'd bring a generator, old ass TV, and a PS2 and play video games when I was younger, GUN holds a very special place in my heart
  • @BungleJoogie68
    I'll still remember that cool exchange before Hoodoo dies. "I'M HOODOO BROWN!" * gets shot "...you were."
  • @StaggerjAGGER
    I loved this game as a kid. Played the absolute shit out of it.
  • I was always blown away by how good the graphics looked for 2005, not to mention it was one of the few games that I did not skip cutscenes because they were written so well. It really felt like an achievement to complete this game back in the day.
  • @graxburg4412
    First game me and my dad ever played together. He was doing the tutorial, laughing his ass off knifing the sh*t out of a bear taking whiskey shots shouting @ the TV when he could catch his breath “DIE BEAR! DIE!” 😂 It’s one of my favourite boiiz time mementoes with my dad.
  • @justinbruce9808
    "I'M HOOODOOOO BROOWN" sometimes still rings in my head, even a decade later
  • @calamorta
    I really respect 2000s Neversoft. Gun, Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland are definitely among my all-time 50 list for the PS2. They could make small maps feel much bigger due to good game design and features.
  • @sirdabzmcgee
    I remember searching ever corner of the map trying to get all the gold nuggets hidden. Such a good game and honestly still one of the best westerns. Really deserves a remaster/remake or proper sequel.
  • @ThaRealRizzo
    This was one of those games that never got the proper recognition. I remember replaying it several times. Everyone I talked to about it at the time had never heard of it and blew it off as some junk game but it was a clear favorite of mine then
  • @badger297
    I've always wondered why no one talks about this game. It was a huge part of my gaming experience as a kid. Idk how many times I played thru this game with my lil brother. Fucking awesome video. Love your content dude
  • @J29117
    One of my all time favourites. Really hurts knowing there were plans for a sequel that fell through but at least we can still see it's legacy through RDR.
  • @humbugblet27
    Used to play this game with one of my brothers on my gamecube, he helped me get thru a few missions i thought impossible to beat. RIP bro 🙏
  • @112523
    i played the shit out of this game back in the day and i still have fond memories of it
  • i feel like everyone is on a western kick rn and i couldnt love it more. as holiday once said, "that's just my game"
  • I loved Gun. I got it for my 22nd birthday in 2006. Gun was Grand Theft Auto set in the Wild West. Good story. Good cast of voice actors. Epic main theme. Non-stop action from start to finish. If it wasn't a video game, it would have made a great movie. One of the best video games I ever played in my life.
