Thanks to Video Show for the research twitter.com/VideoShowJoe kzfaq.info This is a video I've wanted to make for 4 years but didn't think it'll get that many views. Might as well make it since the Wakfu Vid did well. This console game is full of particle effects and runs at like 900p or something. Says 1080 on Xbox360 and 720 on PS3's box. I own both and used the 360 copy. It just looks so blurry when editing I'm sorry. I recorded 115 gigs of footage. Years I ago I recorded more footage but that was on PS3 which is at a lower resolution. I ain't using that crap. Scrap it all and use slightly better 360 footage. Wish there was a PC port that cleaned this crap up.

Platinum first attempt at multiplayer was alot beter than Bethesda.

Even the helicopters can go into rampage mode...... Yup, this is a platinum game

I loved Mathilda because she was a humanoid version of the Needler from Halo.

You know who would have been perfect for this game? Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes.

So according to this article by Destructoid on 4-12-2017 called "Platinum says it would port 'all their games' to PC": "MadWorld, Infinite Space, Vanquish, Anarchy Reigns -- very high chance(porting to PC) as they're all done by Sega, which allowed the Bayonetta port. Especially Anarchy Reigns, which could be given a new lease on life as a free-to-play game." So it's likely we may see an Anarchy Reigns revival/port soon. Just...not too thrilled about the 'Free to play' aspect of it. Like you said Pan, in this day and age with lootboxes and all the DLC, it could potentially ruin it. If they do it, let's hope they do it right.

THANKS FOR FEATURING MY FAN ART OF YOU MAN....YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎👍🎨❤

I still can’t believe Spidergwen’s universe gets to enjoy the Clone High sequel Clone College

I really adore when you nerd out about the random things you like. I'm so happy that you finally got to make this video, amazing job as always. 💜

I'd say something like "ohh Nintendo should give platinum the cash to remake this" but that would mean it would be a switch exclusive and... well to put it nicely Nintendo still needs to learn how a server works.

Love it when you put in old commercials/promos from the 90s and early 2000s. Makes me feel like I'm a kid again

The virgin Smash Bros vs the chad Anarchy Reigns

Sega never advertisers their games unless it's sonic

Split-screen could've saved this game. There are people who still drag their GameCube and extra controllers to every gathering, fighting tournament and convention to play Melee. I would do that for a multiplayer game I love, BUT thankfully FF: Crystal Chronicles is being re-released so I don't have to invest in 3 extra GBAs and Link cables I'll never use otherwise.

Looks neat. For some reason I have Heavy Metal: Geomatrix and Unreal Tournament 2004 flashbacks.

I loved Anarchy Reigns combat. It reminded me of the Budokai combo system. Simple on a surface level, but once you learn to cancel? The entire games combo system opens up dramatically. Almost anything can be converted to anything and pressure becomes endless. That's when matches start to look like whole ass anime battles, when both players know how to twitch cancel. The mechanic also allowed for dope looking conversions into killer weapon combos too. The B&B for most characters was 3 light attacks < twitch cancel < heavy launcher < twitch cancel < 3 light attacks < Killer Weapon Combo 1. Typically 30%. If you knew how to consistently cancel then you could just keep going, but it isn't as easy as it sounds.

Sega is like my grades. They keep going up & down and you never know whats gonna happen next....

God damn it Pan, the memories on this one hurt. I remember following this game through it's delays and ending up loving the game only for it to die a month later. Oh and screw unlocking Gargoyle. I think I did that via online rank as opposed to story. lol

More than likely unpopular opinion: Nintendo should just buy Platinum Games. They seem to be the only company that appreciates them.

Another issue that effected SEGA was their unwillingness to really push the game because of their tight financials. While the Yakuza games are very well made, they weren't putting asses in seats and SEGA was going into a bit of a panic mode. Platinum had an agreement to create new IPs for them, notably Madworld, Bayonetta, and Vanquished, but none of them were all that impressive in terms of sales. Anarchy Reigns was to be the last game in their deal and was Platinum stepping outside their comfort zone. The game was a massive risk for SEGA when they shouldn't have been taking any so they did little if anything for it.

Pan's uploads are the highlight of my tuesday. They're just as great as Yohane.

Funny pizza man talks about vidya game

I'm glad somebody remembers Mad World, I never knew Anarchy Reigns existed now I kinda wanna play it out of curiosity.

It looks like a poor mans God hand with rap, so pretty amazing

There more people playing brink then this Feels bad

I honestly say this style be used for a teletubbies game. Same music style Same combat Add back the announcers BOOM! acid dream

I swear the term "Sega" and "Ahead of its time" go hand in hand. I guess they weren't kidding when they said "to be this good, takes ages"

Pizza time.

Haven’t watched Pan Pizza in a YEAR and forgot how much joy his videos bring me. The fucking ATTENTION TO DETAIL and the work put into it. He genuinely made me want to get this game

A fighting game akin to Power Stones with a roster than feeds Pan’s punk fetish, guest starring Bayonetta? I have no idea how this game wasn’t more successful

Will you ever continue your Tony Hawk series with THPS3?

I would love to John DiMaggio and Greg Proops as commentators for anything.

god, looking at this really does make me wish this game got more. i haven't heard much of it until now but now i really wish this got a sequel or spiritual successor, maybe incorporating all of platnum's franchises. maybe if that KLK game does well maybe we could see a big trigger/gainax crossover fighter in the style of anarchy, that would be perfect imo. maybe if i can find this for cheap and it has xbone backwards compatability ill give it a shot, this looks honestly too cool to pass up, despite the lack of local multiplayer (which is the one thing a successor should get, even if it's just splitscreen)

What doesn’t Sega kill nowadays, am I right fellas

Oh so you DIDN'T play through both stories on the hardest difficulty? Well ha HA I did and i shouldn't have

My absolute favorite soundtrack in a game. I used to watch the character profiles all the time on KZfaq.

This is why I stay up until 4 AM

I just came to say, its Soundtrack was amazing !!! Now back to my job..... :(

Anarchy Reigns feels like my other heart throb from original Xbox Iron Phoenix right down to its heartbreaking forgotten status. No one deserves this to happen to them twice. So sorry Sega.

Really glad PanPizza made a video on this. Hope this game gets more of a following, as it is criminally low as is.

I found out about this game through it's music back in the day lol. KZfaq recommended actually did something good for once.

Thanks for letting me know that Blizzard ripped off Anarchy Reigns to make less interesting character. Lol

Some kind of sequel to this could be so cool, espetially now that Platinum has so many more games to potentially pull from. Having Nier, Wonderful 101, Astral Chain, represented, maybe even Raiden, all in the same game could be super fun

Oh come now, those screenshots look nothing like Liefeld's work: you can see everyone's feet.

Can’t wait for screwattack retrospect

0:03 WE ARE THE GINYU FORCE

I used to play this game all the time when it came out. There were real advanced tech to learn with each character, even if they fought similarly, on the gamut of "types." Lights usually being toppest tier because of their cancel into killer weapons, but I remember showing some people that tiers-are-for-queers and using heavier characters like Max and his counters and tech that it inspired others. Then they all teamed up on me because I had a high score. Anarchy Reigns in these streets, baby.

That was by far the best fan art ive ever seen . Good work Jimmy Alonzo

My god this game is so much fun! I wish i could go back in time and buy it when it first came out and actually experience the online mode! At least the simulator lets you try out all the modes. I would give a kidney for a sequel one day! Imagine bringing the entire cast back along with others from Madworld, Revengeance and Bayonetta. It truly is such an underrated gem! Also Mathilda is my main too!!!

I love games with standoffs. Nothing gets more personal and epic than fighting someone with all your might and feeling indestructible, only to find an opponent who is doing the exact same So you both just go absolutely ham on one another until the battle becomes an unrecognizable blur. *That’s my jam*

I think this may be your best video yet! So well done! Absolutely loved watching this one!

I remember loving this game. Some months after release I tried playing online hoping to get all the multiplayer achievements. I found a small but dedicated community. Like 13 people who played all the time and were way too good, but super fun to play with. I wish this game would've been more successful and had more people to play with.

PLEASE let this get backwards compatibility...

I'm still playing this game today. Can't find nobody playing online obviously.

YES! This was such a hidden gem, I imported this back in the day and when I heard it was only $30 when it came out in the states I had to double dip, but I recall that even at the US launch the game was relatively dead and certain game modes were impossible to play and others would take 10 minutes to build a lobby. Thanks for this video, Pan, it's great to see this game is still remembered. And please, I must request that you organize some kind of game night to refill the lobbies so we can smile and reminisce of the days of the old.

Hell yeah dude! This game seriously does not get enough love, even in retrospectives. Soundtrack still bops and yeah the combat is a bit repetitive, but the aesthetic of the game and this grimy urban feel just isn't done all that often anymore. Glad you made this video.

Where's Look Pimpin' in your most played Pan

I hope sega would re-release this on PC. It would be great, there is potential that would be the case some day.

I just stumbled on your channel I love your content and your sense of humor I'm going to have to subscribe. Also if I'm a city you are probably the only person that talks about video games that I could just listen to the audio only

Please never change the format of your videos I think it’s really rad

Anarchy Reigns ost? Oh you mean my workout playlist!

Who else here finds it funny thay Anarchy Reigns is the Overlooked Sequel to the Already Overlooked Wii gem ,MadWorld.😁

I just want to say I appreciate your editing. Your videos are always a delight to watch

Thanks for releasing this on my birthday my dude

Just like Rockstar's State of emergency...all potential gone.

That was quick. Love looking at games on this channel. Smash is big but more fighting game love!😎

My high school best friend and I used to play this game for weekends at a time. That soundtrack brings back so many memories!

I miss this game so much! 😭 I used to play this all the time online, and just spend hours playing it. It was soooo addicting. This game needs to come back

Thank you sooo much! Anarchy reigns was one of my favorite games. When I worked at GameStop I recommended this to everyone.

I genuinely miss Madworld, as it is one of my favorite games. I wouldn't mind a remaster or something for all platforms.

I'm just so god damn impressed with how great your presentation has gotten, Pan. Keep up the great work.

Decided to come back to this video after Babylon's fall. Damn shame that game turned out the way it did when their first attempt at a multi-player game was so beloved.

It really sucks that I've only recently heard about this. I know for a fact that I would have had a blast with this. Now ill never get to.

It Definitely Needs a PC Port Or a Remastered version From Anarchy Reigns. It Possibly Worth For the Fans what they Really wanted to have More Online Multiplayer.

Yes! I'm so glad this is finally getting some recognition! I got this game last summer and have been having an absolute blast with it.

I remember importing the japanese version of the game just to play the game way earlier. To this day, I still love it and I would love for it to come back in some kind of way.

18:50 Dude you GOOOOOOTTA make a video about the Billy & Mandy game

Pan you've done it. Now we will get anarchy reins porn

Durga and Big Bull was def my go to guys. Loved Bulls dual grab and Durgas leg cannon. I pray to Kamiya every night for a remake but in my prayers he just insults me on his Twitter.

I'M SO GLAD THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO PLAYED THIS GAME. I'M HAPPY YOU MADE A VID ABOUT IT OMG. Watching this vid reminded me when I first saw it in gameinformer and bought for $5 and later bought the bayo dlc. One of my favorite songs from this game was Fast Lane. And there's a fan discord? I didn't know that existed. Anyway I'm so glad you brought light to this game and I hope more people play this game cause of this vid!

Yo this better give us a day of the servers being active again

You almost gotta feel bad for Sega.

Thanks for the bomb as heck music you've introduced to me. I definitely wanna pick this up for my 360 now! (Or PS3 as an absolute last resort)

I'm so glad you got to talk about this game, this one the reason I debated on keeping my xbox

Hmmmm I think I know where For Honor May have gotten their inspiration.

Man, this game looks awesome especially Bayonetta cameo. It's too late for me I guess.

I'm glad someone finally talked about my favorite underrated game of all time, with probably my favorite soundtrack.

I was way more invested in the single player when I got this game. The hyper stylized dystopia filled with jank world building and infinite flair really sunk its hooks into me, and I ADORE all the character designs! I'd kill for a sequel no doubt

Power Rangers would be crazy with this type of game!!!!

Sega made another 16 player fighter called Iron Phoenix for the Xbox

This game deserved better I'm glad that u covered it!!!

Literally just talking about this game the other day. The OG battle royale mixed with suplexing. Badass.

Death Ball looks like the sport from Wakfu. 19:12 Your character all seem to have Stands. "What Property for party game?" Suikoden, you got literally hundreds of characters to draw on. It won't happen though, because Konami is evil.

Blizzards Overwatch ripped off Platinums characters for Anarchy Reigns: Genji is Zero Reinhardt is Big Bull Soldier 76 is Leo with a gun Junkrat is Durga Roadhog is Oinkie with a little bit of Birdie from Street Fighter...Change my mind.

This game was really fun and brought back a ton of memories for me..

Welp, that opening clip was enough to make me instantly interested

Bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon

I haven't seen this much hype for Anarchy Reigns since the Super Best Friends. . .:(

"We are witnessing two toddlers going at it." Alright Pan, alright.

That fan art has to be one of the weirdest but also awesomest thing I've seen in a while, that person is incredibly talented!
