This week on Lost in Time, we take a look back at Condemned: Criminal Origins.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Great game. Loved the sound design.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Great game. Loved the sound design.

Yup. It’s what got me into surround sound.

There’s a level in a basement. The surround sound of that might be the most chilling sound design I have ever experienced, even to this day.

 

[Elder Legend]

This game was amazing. I miss it. Was a looker too.

 

[mrmustard]

Great game, the 360 era was different. Also Dead Rising <3

 

[adamsapple]

Excellent game, such a damn fucking shame the sequel isn't BC on Xbox.

FYI, anyone who picks this up on Xbox now, the game runs at a locked 45hz for some bizarre reason. If you have a VRR display, the game will be extremely smooth.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. I have to find where I put my copy of the sequel. The second one gets really weird.

I think I had it on the PS3.

 

[Salmon Snake]

It was scary as fuck as a teen and the HD graphixxx were crazy for the time.

The early X360 games were amazing to look at if you compare them to PS2.

 

[fart town usa]

Both of those games make you feel like you need to take a shower. So damn grimy and gross.

I had it downloaded on my 360 that RROD'd but I still have Bloodshot (the sequel) on PS3.

Awesome games.

Also:

Spoiler

The BEAR!

 

[Tarin02543]

One of the first games I used to test my new (old) Trinitron CRT monitor.

Difficult to set up, controls are a nightmare to bind.

 

[El Muerto]

Game was ahead of its time and is currently unmatched. Playing it with surround sound was amazing. Same composer also did the music for No One Lives Forever 2, the FEAR games, and the Shadow of Mordor/War games.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I remember it was one of the first next-gen games for the 360, but I never played it because I was a bit too young back then for these types of games. Might pick a used copy up and try it via BC on my One X.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Thought this was a Drizzlehell thread and was expecting a good read.

Clicking on a thread and just seeing a fucking video link

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Great game. The ending was wacky though.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Excellent game, it was a launch title for the PC and Xbox 360 generation, I played it on PC and I loved it, the sequel was good but strange in the story.

I'm still waiting for a Condemned 3... But Warner Bros. doesn't have the courage to release a sequel, especially not in these times.

I liked the fact that it was compared to the movie seven.

 

[Drizzlehell]

I'm sorry for slacking off. I will pick up the pace in my thread making around Halloween.

Jace Hall owns the rights. Email him. Beg him.

 

[makaveli60]

One of my first 360 games, it was nextgen already. I remember we played with my sister and we could only play while playing music in the background as it was that scary

 

[GymWolf]

One of the best game ever made.

Melee combat, enemy ia and the oppressive atmosphere still kick ass today.

I would suck a dick shaped lollipop for a proper remaster, the steam version doesn't work with controllers and i can't even play it...

 

[HeWhoWalks]

That it is, yes!

 

[rofif]

Amazing game

 

[Chuck Berry]

Condemned 2 doesnt get enough attention. There's a level where a fucking bear is chasing you through a large house. The scene is incredible and the concept alone shouldve gotten the game mutiple GOTY awards.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

And this is exactly fucking why EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ON PC.

So that 20 years later you can still play it. Keep circulating the tapes!

 

[BennyBlanco]

This game and the sequel were so damn good.

 

[bender]

One of the best hobo punching simulators ever.

 

[BennyBlanco]

And this is exactly fucking why EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ON PC.

So that 20 years later you can still play it. Keep circulating the tapes!

 

[Chuck Berry]

It's also BC on Xbox. You can grab it right now digitally.

 

[legacy24]

loved this game
they don't make em like this anymore

 

[SF Kosmo]

This game scared the shit out of me. Shame the sequel was such a dud.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Amazing game.

Lol and they completely fucked up achievements

 

[FoxMcChief]

And this is exactly fucking why EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ON PC.

You can still play it on Xbox consoles.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. I still got my 360 disc of the first one. I may pop it in. I never played all the way through it.

I knew it was a game worth collecting.

Put some respect on IbizaPocholo name!

Condemned is one of my favorite games.

 

[Little Chicken]

I bought this when it became BC on Xbox and it scared the shit out of me. I think I only made it up to the 3rd level

Oh yeah. The game is creepy as hell. It plays off that fear of being stuck in an abandoned part of a city.

It is similar to Silent Hill.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Fantastic 360 launch gem. Amazing atmosphere along with a compelling first person combat system. Bashing a bum over the head with a pipe has never felt so good. It’s funny as I always considered the game Outlast to be almost a spiritual successor.

 

[Hunter 99]

Loved both of them, it was brutal and the atmosphere was so good,truly scary. You never knew when you would get a pipe or 2×4 to your head when a hobo would whack you from behind.
Literally make you jump out your seat.
Played it again about 6 months ago and enjoyed it.
Was one of my first 360 games so good memories.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Replayed both not long ago. I love those games.

 

[Krappadizzle]

It's a shame the series never took off. Still annoyed that Condemned 2 and The Darkness are still stuck on that generation of systems.

 

[intbal]

Both Darkness games are BC on Xbox.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Oh yeah. The game is creepy as hell. It plays off that fear of being stuck in an abandoned part of a city.

It is similar to Silent Hill.

But also the fear of being attacked by homeless people.
