so ben mentions kamiya and mikami in regards to the legacy of DMC,bayonetta and viewtiful Joe in regards to Hi Fi rush but it's worth noting that MASAAKI YAMADA is the lead game designer of hi fi rush... he directed viewtiful Joe 2 and was game designer on DMC 1, Bayonetta 1 and Vanquish. so I think he's a key component to that old cool vibe of hi fi rush

It feels like MinnMax is on another level these days and firing on all cylinders. Great talent, vibes, quality, quantity, and heart. Whatever has gotten into JeffM is incredible. He seems happier, to be enjoying games more, and is more open to giving his opinion. I love it! I think having Janet around was good for him, because she sets a good example on how to be critical with “negativity” while still being balanced. I always wanted a more unleashed JeffM and this is delivering. His opinion is valued and unique. I want more if it!

1:53:03 INCORRECT. The Reaper was a skin that looked a lot like John Wick, that came out in Fortnite, and everyone was saying this guy looks like John Wick. However, it was never supposed to be John Wick. Sometime later Fortnite actually released a real John Wick skin based on Keanu Reeves, and that skin is actually called John Wick.

Echoing Jacob's sentiment, Hi-Fi Rush is genuinely a dream come true. For years I have listened to bands like Nine Inch Nails and The Prodigy and tried to imagine a rhythm based character action game incorporating their music. Then comes along Tango GameWorks, a studio I have adored ever since The Evil Within 2 dropped, with a game that perfectly encapsulates that mental image. A game that is a love letter to action games, animation, and music all at once. On top of that, it has a wonderful cast of characters with a really fun story and the structure and style of a Suda51 game, like if Lollipop Chainsaw was a Saturday morning cartoon. Absolutely masterpiece. Easily would have been my GOTY for 2022 if it came out a month earlier. (Also Ben, there's no Low Road song in the game)

Usually I don't marathon games but last year I really wanted to play Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance again, so on a Saturday I just started the game between 10AM and noon and finished it around 8 PM. Sadly I don't remember what I did to break up the game a little, how I drank water and had lunch but it was a great Saturday, I loved the game, it wasn't a pressure because I already knew the mechanics and I didn't pay attention to the story the slightest and I still had so much fun. MGR:R is still great!

1:07:15 I was surprised to find the NFL revenue in 2019 is not even half of the US video game industry revenue in 2019 (if the numbers I found online can be believed). That said, it has little to do with revenue of segments or subsegments of an industry and more to do with interest/viewership. In 2019, the average viewership of a regular season NFL game was about 22 Million. The 2019 Super Bowl had 98 Million viewers. No less than 43 Million people in the US saw Avengers: Endgame in theaters. TGA 2019 had only 45 million livestreams. E3 is a little hard to judge, but in 2019 Microsoft had the highest viewership at 1.5 Million. Elden Ring sold 20 Million copies worldwide within the first year, but that is an outlier and not all of those 20 Million copies represent a person who would be willing to watch a video game news show. Also, Hi-Fi Rush is a smaller game, and they tend to be given that $30-$40 price tag.

@MysteriousMrL Жыл бұрын

I do agree with Jacob that Last of Us was kind of always ready made to be turned into prestige TV, but I think that's selling what the show's pulled off so far a bit short. To me it's like these first three episodes are demonstrating the range of adaptation approaches they're willing to use and how well they can pull each one off. Episode 1 was like them going, look we can just straight up adapt the already very cinematic opening of The Last of Us as it is for a TV show, while expanding on it in places. Episode 2 showed how they could take a section that's mainly traversal, exploration, and stealth gameplay and make it work as an episode. Episode 3 showed that they can make drastic changes to the source material and just produce a damn good episode of television.

1:14:53 I think people don't know what does AAA mean. AAA is not about quality of the game. A game can be bad and AAA at the same time. For example Forspoken. Or it doesn't mean that big open world rpg. It is all about the budget. So Tango Games is a small studio and like 20 people worked on Hi Fi rush if I am not mistaken. So it is not really a AAA game.But I am just guessing. If they've spent 200 million dollar to the game, then I am wrong.

I’m a few hours into Hi-Fi Rush and honestly I don’t get why it’s getting so much love. It’s not a bad game but it’s not a great game either. It’s a very average action game with a new gimmick. It’s really nothing special. People please watch a review before buying it. I bought into the hype and ended up a little disappointed.
