  • The Warriors game stands the tests of time as a Rockstar Masterpiece and underrated classic 16 years later. In 2022 however, is often overlooked due to the success of popular Rockstar triple A titles. Part review & Retrospective, I share my thoughts on why 16 years later is still amazing.
    The Warriors is a beat 'em up video game, published by Rockstar Games. It was released for both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox on October 17, 2005 and for PlayStation Portable February 12, 2007.
    The game is based on the 1979 film of the same name, and features royal rumble style brawling in semi-open world environments, amongst other activities such as tagging territories.
    The console game was developed by Rockstar Toronto, The game was released on the PlayStation 3 on May 28, 2013 in the U.S. and May 29, 2013 in Europe via the PlayStation Network and July 5, 2016 on the PlayStation 4 via PlayStation Network.

    The Warriors is more worthy of a remaster than bully imo. Best combat Rockstar has ever had, fun mechanics, the gang wars mini games, the bosses and missions were all fantastic and the score being from the actual film is a cherry on top.

      They both deserve remasters but sadly I don't think the warriors will get one, due to licensing issues with paramount. They don't give a shit about preserving video games based on their movie properties.

    i played the warriors on the ps2 as a kid, not many people knew about this movie and even the people that did know about it didnt know about this game. its crazy how much more story and lore you get from the game, its literally and prequel where you see the warriors form and how they get the invitation to the big gang meeting in the movie and up to the end on the beach. you can actually skip the movie entirely and you'd have a better grasp of what's going on than someone whose only watched the movie and to me thats why this game is amazing.

    The Warriors doesn't need a remaster and I'm glad someone covered this beautiful game. The warriors needs a sequel that expands the universe, it often makes me think of the question: "What would it be like if gangs of the streets operated like this today?" Now I'm not saying we need a modern day warriors but what I am saying is let's get a sequel with the same characters or maybe new ones. Maybe expand on the aftermath of the film and bring in the original writers to bounce ideas off of or purchase the rights to have Rockstar bring in their own unique team and expand on it themselves. The universe that was created is dark, gritty, funky and fresh. Perhaps allow us to make our own gang just like in the VS mode. Perhaps even taking it further we have our own voice protagonist like the games of past, Mass Effect series, Def Jam Fight for New York, Dragon age Inquisition.
    What I would do to have a sequel or a game within the unique universe of the warriors is not even a question.
    If there's a company to do it its always going to be Rockstar, perhaps a unique story relative to the world already established would be the best way to go, emphasizing the drama of building a brotherhood, the twist and turns of the story. Give us action and consequence, give us character choice, apparel custimisation, character customisation, make the narrative linear or open like Baldurs gate 3, the potential is endless.
    The only thing standing in the warriors way is of course GTA because GTA is basically a larger warriors, but the themes are different.
    Give us online multiplayer to extend the games longevity. The potential with the Warriors is endless.

    The incredible experience of running through the streets of NYC on a cloudy night, pursuing enemies as part of a gang to establish its reputation, is truly noteworthy. The presence of police sirens in the background and women shouting from their windows, pleading to keep the noise down in the middle of the night, creates a unique atmosphere that no other game can replicate. Among all video games, The Warriors holds a special place as my absolute favorite, not just among Rockstar's titles but across the entire gaming industry. I'm now 29 years old and have grown up playing this game on various PlayStation consoles, from PS2 to PS3, PS4, and now PS5. Unfortunately, it suffers from frequent glitches, and I wish there was a remastered version available. I am even considering reaching out to Rockstar via email and starting a GoFundMe campaign to explore the possibility of a remaster, pooling our efforts together. The Warrior spirit is alive and strong in this game.

    My name is Moïse 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.”

    Truly is a masterpiece of a game! And the movie will always be in my top 10. But gosh damn, the amount of times I replayed this game + just the hours put in messing around and doing the gang activity stuff is way T.F up there! I think one of my favorite memories in this game is, it was during the “Blackout” mission (I believe), or whenever you gotta make it back to the clubhouse and dodge gangs trying to get there, which was The Baseball Furies. Well, I made the mistake of going onto their territory which was the baseball field, and I got overwhelmed with enemies chasing me, so like a complete idiot I ran into the dugout, for which I couldn’t escape and had to fight off the gang members solo which took about 30mins or a wee bit longer to do, and I just remember feeling so accomplished and worn out lmao. My fingers were hurting hardcore from all the button smashing! It was adrenaline inducing and pretty much the whole game was like that, but there were those special moments to where I’d wonder off and have to brawl solo or with 1-2 backup with a whole group of blood-thirsty gang members chasing me down/cornering me. I would love to see this game get ported over to current gens or P.C! I personally love the graphics of this era of PS2/Xbox 360. I don’t need realistic features, cause the physics were already golden!

    This game was really popular in the UK when I was a kid. Literally everyone I knew had a copy, except a few who's parents wouldn't allow them, and I played it at all my friends houses even before I had it. It's probably my all time favourite game. I do a new playthrough every year or so. Definitely needs a remaster where you can free roam all the areas and not just the Warriors turf. Shame that it's one of the PS4 games that doesn't work properly on a PS5.

    Would always get a thps game in November for my birthday. I seen a commercial for this when it first came out and was like what is this this looks awesome. My dad who loved the movie when it first came out was hyped that I was hyped, we went to a used movie store and got it on vhs (2005 keep in mind) and after it was finished I was even more excited. Not only I got Tony Hawks American Wasteland for my birthday in November but as a little Halloween gift, I got the warriors. Best movie based game, and all around game even with its flaws.

    I LOVE this Rockstar game!!! If Remastered there'd be mainly 3 (possibly 4) things to do :
    1) Punch up visuals and audio (even more on the later)
    2) Keep "couch" co-op AND add online!
    3) Improve the camera!
    The "Honourable Mention"...maybe more side content and new game plus!

    I don't care how much people love modern GTA or how many people think GTA is the best it's ever been, the PS2 era was imo by far the greatest period for Rockstar games.
    Give me VC, SA, Bully and The Warriors over GTA4 or 5 any day.

      I enhance games btw, so a Warriors Trailer should be dropping next month. Additionally I completely hear you on the Subway aspect. Before the game came out, me and a friend as kids imagined a Warriors game, where cops chased you much like the T1000, you could jump on the back of subway trains, crawl along the top, get arrested but navigate your way through Prison territory.
