"i find the monotone characters a bit dull" your favorite princess is rosalina edit: i feel like i should say this is a joke since i didnt expect anyone to actually see it

Someone mentioned that Billy moves around like he's from Hotel Transylvania and I can't see it any other way now.

The animation in this game looks fucking awesome, so full of bouncy energy. No, this is not a joke about certain physics.

If THIS was how 3D Anime looked, NOBODY would complain except for the purists.

The "bouncy" animation style found in most Hollywood animated movies, like Hotel Transylvania, combined with an anime art style is incredible!

Billy is DRIPPING with chaotic Deadpool energy, and I'm here for it. Also, if you like Soul Hound, you'd probably enjoy the game it's based on, Mr. Driller.

Yes, Scott, I'm sure you loved studying the "bounciness" of some of the characters.

Dunno if Hoyo still doesn't do this but for the love of god, *either archive story related events or don't make story elements a limited time event* I don't care about missing the rewards but there isn't much reason for new players to play a game with a major lean on story, and then tell them they can't enjoy all of the story while reminding them they missed character introductions that came from a one time 3 week event

I saw a clip of this game's cutscenes, and it was jaw-droppingly good animation. The animators worked hard and CARED about what they were doing. It's insane.

Whoa just watching these intro clips the characters seem so full of life and not stiff its honestly really impressive

The first time ive genuinely considered playing a hoyo game, besides honkai impact. The combo of bouncy animation, hoyo's signature fan-service, gameplay style, fan-service, mini-games, and did I mention the fan-service?

"I find the monotone characters a bit dull." As someone who likes monotone, I'd be willing to bet (or be proven wrong) it's the shitty writing for most of said characters that bugs you. A *lot* of writers make monotone characters then fail to make up for the inherent deficit in intrigue with more than maybe a single other trait. Also, you advocated for maid characters, their main shtick is being efficient and composed. And let's not forget a certain princess you like (same).

"Oh, and add a lot more maid characters, you can't go wrong with maid characters." Truer words have never been spoken

The animations of this game look great, almost would want them to make a CC character just to see her in this style

Squash and stretch is incredibly underrated in animation, so many game and animation studios go for the hyper realistic and never really seem to be able to pull it off convincingly, so I'm happy to see this animation style growing in popularity. You can make characters uniquely expressive with this style and it's wonderful to see.

From what I’ve seen from the rest of the Genshin/HSR community regarding this game, they all seem to mirror your opinions here pretty closely. Animation and characters are great, minus the male MC being kind oof boring, combat is good, the TV world is not great and could use some love since it’s the main content of the game. People are a little concerned but enthusiastic because it just looks incredible and the animation is top tier.

"Nobody ever sits still when they talk and i love it"-scottfalco perfectly describing adhd.

Another excellent salt! I'll definitely be checking it out, it seems like there's been a lot of love put into it by the developers!

Billy really has almost Deadpool energy with how animated he is.

I think hoyo saw genshin and their Honkai series and thought to them selfs, "Do you know what we failed to do on our past games, we didn't give the gals azur lane levels of jiggle".

I played the first Hoyoverse game Honkai. I liked it, but the emphasis of THIS IS A MOBILE GAME was getting to be waay too much for me. Same reason why I havent played Star Rail.... As you stated, this animation is top tier. Its crazy fluid looking full of energy and just seriously fun to look at. If they did an animation series, "Hoyo... Hint hint, Do this." I would seriously watch it, even if it was kind of bad. To see the character interactions with this kind of animation and style would just be a lot of fun. If hoyo did make an animation, I seriously doubt it would be bad considering the effort they put out in these games. Its just a shame they choose to do the mobile market.

My god the animations are so good, they all ooze personality and charm.😺

The Bag, My brother, he got the bag.

I love how jiggly the character animations look. That one guy reminds me of an anime Deadpool. Really hoping it comes to PS5.

One more advantage of this game over the other two is that you can rewatch cutscenes whenever you want, while with Genshin the only replayable cutscenes are for weekly bosses, and you can only read dialogue for previous story missions in both Genshin and Star Rail.

2:39 he is honest to god giving off some Deadpool vibes and I love it

im proud of hoyoverse for simultaneously offering game play and fan service most games of the same vibe as hoyoverse titles either stylise there characters into little blobs or are like a match 3 puzzle game hoyo is out there doing both and i think its good to counteract the steryotypes

Hot take Zenless zone zero is like a kid friendly cyberpunk where you play as a net runner that manages a group of edgerunners.

"My body... is wiggly." -icecreamsandwich

Soul hound... Oh, that's why that looked familiar. It Mr. Driller.

Hoyoverse genuinely went all out with this game. All these cutscenes in this game are so exaggerated and expressive and I absolutely adore it. As for gameplay, it's really nice how simplified and compact everything is. You're not running around a giant map to collect upgrade materials for characters at point A and then running all the way across the map to point B to get another material. The combat feels far faster and more fluid as well, perfect switches and guards are so damn satisfying to land.

THE GAME DID NOT COME OUT YET AND THEY HANDIN OUT SPONSORS ALREADY????????

I feel like the animation is somewhere between Maxx Steel and Slug Terra, and I'm in love with it

The thumbnail is uhh….pretty pretty good

Billy is literally every chaotic anime/animated/cartoon show character built into one character, i like him!

as a genshin hater and star rail liker, this is a big hoyoverse W

God damn, if they ever made a game that wasn't gacha, it would probably be my favorite game of all time.

Billy made me ridiculously happy and I can’t exactly explain it.

The 3d animation is actually so cool

Loving how the B and P alliterations just keep flowing at 3:40

The Hi fi rush style is very much appreciated.

Talking about animation go brrrrrrr *sits here drooling at my screen while listening to nice voice say the happy words*

Miyhyo also did: Legend of Saha FlyMe2theMoon Zombiegal Kawaii Houkai Gakuen 2 /Gun Girls Z Honkai Impact 3 Tears of Themis

Nice video as always! Also you were right! The animation in the game looks really cool. We just don’t see stuff like this too much anymore.

I love the look of games like these, but their open-ended nature has always discouraged me from playing them. I like my stories to have a beginning, middle and end.

8:10 - ...This is literally Mr. Driller. If you liked this minigame then look into the Mr. Driller series, it's a blast.

The closest thing to big action sections is the rally's in the combat story part. Its basically just one long map of action until u reach the boss and u look around for chests for the items that u can take out.

That mini game with the dog is literally MR. Driller

Soul hounds is based off of Mr. Driller, fun fact.

Billy's attacks look kinda like Dante from Devil May Cry

i might just play it for the animation, IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!

God this animation looks so good I am definitely going to give this game a look, thanks funny magic animation man.

Forget the maids! Ben and those npc bears are where its at and i want MORE!

Anby's sword is literally Raidens sword from mgrr.

Also on this note, you don't have to click each screen. If you click back to whrre you want to be, you zoom right there... only if the screens have been blanked out... now.

If it comes to ps5, ill absolutely add it to my daily gaming with genshin. I love how animated it is

I can't wait for this game. Holy crud. I enjoyed Genshin a lot and that game's combat was rather simple. This game almost looks like a slower DMC with character swaps instead of hotswap combos. It actually looks insane.

3:19 OH HELL NAH! THAT'S RAIDEN'S SWORD- I MEAN TOOL OF JUSTICE!

1:45 anybody else got an ad here. Cause that got a chuckle out of me

One of two things can come out of that ending, both of which involve CC. One. Scott, draw CC in a maid costume. Two. Artists who are fans of Scott, draw CC in a maid costume.

you can click a tv during those tv sections and will take you there automatically as long as a path is available

Scott’s into maids… who’d thunk it

Sicilia: Falco, we can't be the only one who wants a Hoyo fighting game. Hoyo Versus. Every character we've seen in any Hoyo game is, "PEAK FIGHTING GAME DESIGN."

This is my first time seeing this game and what the holy hell why is the animation so good

I cant wait for this to come out. Its by far the Hoyo game im most excited for. Ive played Genshin and Star rail and theyre fun but they didnt fully click for me. But this, this looks like my bread and butter

I love how the action flow looks.

Billy honesty has to be my favorites,hes just a cute robotic fanboy whos alway so bouncy and energetic and he reminds me a lot of Deadpool! And hes hot so def gonna be my main for a while sue me

1:32 This dude is 1 line away from saying " I SLAY GoOobliiiinSSSSSsss"

3:00 oh so anby is abed! Love those sorts of characters

8:32 wait, you telling me this has Mr.Driller spinoff included? Count Me In!

I reeeaaaally want to see you review Arknights. It's admittedly nothing like this game (it's a tactical sort of gamr) but once you get into the meat of things it becomes its own brand of amazing. That game genuinely made me SMARTER.

I just went to their main website and everything looked so charming and lively. Mind you, it's a bunch of images, nice website design, and cool background music, so I can only imagine what the game is like if just the websites were that impressive. Time to try out this Equalizing test and see what happens

If no one has mentioned it yet, your "pupper" mini game appears to be a mr.driller style game.

Wow, you're not kidding about the animation, that's top quality. Now we know where all their squillions of dollars went! I bounced off Genshin, but I might give this a try if it's not crammed full of spyware.

“Add more maid characters” best feedback ever lol

when someone makes a mod to replace the censored animation & models with the original uncensored ones, I might try it

Don't just add more maid characters, more butler characters too! Like Von Lycaon. Ever since I played "evolution world" (for the gamecube for those who want to look it up), where one of your party members is your own butler *WHO WIELDS A SHOTGUN*, I've been wanting more butler characters in games.

I got a zenless zone zero and a honkai star rail ad while trying to watch this video

all hail, the salt dance!!!

I can only see Billy as Dante from Devil May Cry if he was a robot

0:56 Pretty good stuff... I can imagine Aether's head moving robotically to the side.

Your last request at the end Maid me laugh 🤣☕

wow of all the times this gets recommended to me lol

I have been so frickin stoked for this game. I can't wait for it to release!

Scott the Dog Minigame is just Mr. Driller Gameplay

this guy mentioned the entirety of the Victoria housekeeping except for the goat von lycaon

I hope someone makes a compilation of the animations just to see how far they distort their character models JUST to make actions more punchy. That has my interest. It's not enough for me to get it on any platform but as an observation.

When the video started, I was expecting some generic game but Zenless Zone Zero legitimately has my interest.

Looks neat, but my concern is how it will play on a phone. Main reason I dropped Genshin for Star Rail is that trying to play an action game on a phone is...challenging. And I'm away from my computer fairly often so phone is sometimes the only option I've got for dailies (and there will be dailies in a Hoyo game)

The comic book + cool animation style really reminds me of Gravity Rush...just more bouncy. I'm very excited

I'm enjoying the animation as well, although it's REALLY hard to maintain a consistent level of quality for a game that gets monthly updates, like Hoyo's usual business model. The weird Chinese exclusive Persona 5 game is a good example of this, with some of its cutscenes looking on-par with actual P5, meanwhile other cutscenes are just a black narration screen. I HOPE this game keeps its bouncy fun cutscenes. They make the euphoria alarms go off.

Id love to try it but I tend to never get lucky on closed beta picks and this one was no exception.

So if they make a sequel, will it be called Zenless Zone One? Jokes aside, game looks good, would have tried it if it wasn't a HoYo gacha game.

I don’t think I’ve EVER seen squash and stretch applied to 3D models before. Can’t say I have an interest in playing this game, but it’s a joy to watch for sure

I need schitzophrenic dante

3:15 This moment drops me into Elden ring / Dark souls 3, stuff xddd

Great work on this video. It matches my experiences with the game after playing for like 4 days now.

wow, cant wait for this game to totaly legitamtely get an award next TGA

The camera section reminds me of star fox guard
