Splatter just casually talking about the beauty of the wildlife while popping off shots at the local fauna is perfect irony.
Teddy Roosevelt’s vibes
Looks absolutely spectacular. Hope they turn this into an entire universe.
25:02 I had a coworker in a sheetmetal shop who tried to make a spring out of safety wire.... This was the kid that anyone who wants to keep their life insurance policy premiums low needs to stay away from. This same kid decided to avoid using a face shield while using a etching scribe to remove a stuck bolt in a propeller and then proceeded to pull the scribe with both hands and then stabbed his cheekbone so deep that it took effort to un-impale his cheek... he did not go to the hospital even though we told him "You realllly need to get your ass to a hospital." I feel that even mentioning this ex-coworker is enough to put everyone else in danger due to how much of a walking hazard he was.
im just upvoting and commenting so splat gets more exposure and money ^^

Do replies to comments count?
@@Gnozac11 not sure, but I'm gonna comment and hope the algorithm deities take notice 🙏
Money. Hehehe
he deserves
Your "Job's done" made me laugh out loud. I don't even remember where that's from but I recognized it! Thanks for sharing the video
Ooh, a Right Said Fred reference too. Classic. The movement of the Spazis remind me of HL2. Revolutionary at the time but a bit quaint now
Was that a Bonnie Tyler reference too?! Keep it coming!
"Job's done" is from Warcraft 1, the orc workers!
The best use of the handgun is to shoot the levers in your cart to reverse or brake it.
I've also played Gothic 3 and I LOVED the fact that you could carry an infinite amount of stuff. No need to waste hours on inventory management or going back and forth between dungeons and your home/hub to stash things, you just grab everything you find and keep slaying monsters or exploring the game world. More RPGs should have that.
Agreed
Elex did this as well, which isn't surprising considering its the same Devs i guess. Outside of their franchises i think just about everything has inventory weight, pretty sure mass effect games do, all Bethesda games do, Two worlds did, all ARPG's do etc.
The infinite inventory was definitely one of the greatest things about the Gothic (and risen and Elex) Series !
Punches
This game hit quite a few check marks of a don't buy game because it would annoy me.
✔small inventory
✔can't craft from storage
✔annoying crafting with radial menu
✔obnoxious enemy that won't leave you alone
✔was epic exclusive
Sounds about like what I was thinking.
Looks fantastic and has a novel idea but way too much time wasting.
And the whole Epic exclusive thing is a bit off putting.
first off you can get stuff to increase inventory space and storage space WHICH you can craft from you have to research the container to do so like the ones at the train stations. just cause a game is epic exclusive doesn't make it bad just the company behind it may be. the other two points... well i agree with you there but all in all the games very fun but in the end its my personal opinion. (pardon my grammer im a little tired today)
@@johnnygames857 I think that using inconveniences as progression is bad game design. But I suppose that is a matter of patience, I just would rather have fun than waste my time to eventually not be bothered by something. At least it is less bad than never getting those upgrades, like some other games.
And being epic exclusive means the money mattered more than the players. I do agree with epic that the stores take too much of a cut, but the way they go around it is all wrong, forcing a divide instead of encouraging consumers. So yeah, I refuse to touch things that make part of the third party exclusivity nonsense. Plus they were already paid by epic to compensate to money they'd not get from people like me, so fuck them.
That head bob alone made this a hard no for me, not to mention the stuff you mentioned. Otherwise, I like the setting.
I get it, inventory management is such a hassle but it is also a balancing mechanic. Some games let you have a stash that is unlimited weight and then "Battle inventory", mostly RPGs though. I think Pillars of eternity did that. I find that a nice compromise. You can loot your heart's content, but you have to pick and choose what to bring to a battle or a dungeon run.
This is one of those kinds of reviews I really appreciate. I hadn't noticed a LOT of the graphical fine tuning that Splatty talked about, and to me it looked visually quite dull and lifeless. Lots of browns and greys kind of thing. But once Splatty pointed out things like lighting and reflections I went back and looked and he's totally right, it's really impressive.
I've put a lot of hours into this game in all different stages of its development, I've used the Epic launcher for nothing else but this. It has a great loop and it improved a lot over time but I'm still waiting for something significant to be added, like more story or boss fights or something like that. Right now its still missing an endgame and a real story
Thanks for adding the “Job’s done”. Idky but for some reason that cheered me up. Also makes me want to go back and play warcraft 2.
I'd have to skip this. Non-stackable and diverse weapon mods + tiny inventory = a big nerp from me. (The head bob doesn't help either)
They should make the different kinds of weapon mods become a crafting selection after you loot one, instead of remaining an actual inventory item. Basically once you pick up the item you know how to make it and all you have to need is a generic receiver or grip or barrel, whatever and it becomes one of the types you know how to make when you assemble it.
That part is kinda a bad implementation (how it is now)
Inventory management is the bane of survival games. They have become so restrictive that its just pointless aggravation for the players.
If you think Dishonored and Deathloop were overpolished, then good news: Arkane listened to you while making Redfall!
I got that reference.
Edit: nah it is like OG Destiny 1 where they will slowly introduce content over the years but really will be like the dozens of live services that crashed and burned because they don't have the audience and the fortitude to keep the game alive long enough to find both its audience and its niche.
the concept of overpolished is silly.... now we are complaining when games work as intended? guess us gamers will always find ways to be dissatisfied
@@tomkam5364 I'm not disagreeing with you, but I think I'd rather have a novel, yet janky game, rather than a polished yet stale gameplay one.
Keep in mind Redfall was not developped by the real Arkane, but by Arkane Austin, rather. Which was probably a way for Bethesda to keep them close to them.
@@tomkam5364 while true that games need to reduce to working and tested features. I think the concept of "over-polish" here has more to do with simplifying features to baby levels. Basically games where you don't have to think because there are only a few options and no further depth.
The simplifying has nothing to do and is independent from working and ready development states.
The higher level game loop is polished and reduced to extreme levels where you have a very limited game.
I suppose the discussion and usage should not.be applied to development states that might be at different levels of done. One feature being more complete and polished should not be confused with other features that are still being baked
Do we have a legit Steam release date? Page still just says "Coming Soon".
May 9th, from new trailer
@@1mAR0bot oh awesome! Thank you kind sir or madame!
You are correct about the springs good sir. You can not just wrap a piece of metal into a spring. Also there is forming the the metal into a cylinder shape first.
17:30 Skooma Steve! Damn yooouuuuuuuuuuu! Haha nice dual-reference.
25:20 Actually I worked in a spring manufacturing facility once for about 3 days, and yes they are jam packed with all kinds of highly specialized spring making tools there.
Wire is fed off of many thousand foot spools in whatever gauge they need, and the dies just endlessly spit out springs, 24/7/365.
The tools can do nothing but bend wire, that is their only job, but they do it with extreme speed and precision.
States being a proponent of "Show don't tell" , then proceeds to verbally state every single setting while putting them up on screen.
21:05 😂 that cut after jumping off a train into the void. I know you probsbly floated but it looked like you lived up to your namesake.
Manufacturing springs - no problems | Manufacturing SCREWS - lots of problems
The bigger the spring the bigger the job... Small springs, magazine springs, no problem... Car springs require a huge amount of force and sizable machine. But my thoughts exactly about bolts being easier... I wish I had a lathe at home and not just at work!
Splattercat- the proverbial finger on the pulse of the burgeoning artery of gaming...
The aesthetic reminds me of the Void from Dishonored, with the train looking very similar to Dishonored 2's Clockwork Mansion. Certainly a good look to emulate.
> Splatty, "I don't follow directions."
> Directions, "Take the blueprint."
> Splatty, "OK."
Splatty doesn't even listen to his own self directions.
But he doesn’t follow directions even from himself😰
I was thinking about this game the other day, didn't realize they had sold out to Epic. Oh well.
Quite sure...its on steam with may 9 launch
So glad this is finally coming out on Steam at last!
fresh take for a mixed genre of survival sandbox
Lol the shark continuously coming back despite being shot reminds me of my cat jumping back up on the bed after i've thrown him off at least 10 times
What this needs is COJ: Gunslinger gunplay and weapons.
I believe a great addition to the game, maybe in harder difficulties. A physics mechanic where if you're in the "Void", weightless and swimming, firing a weapon that has recoil could push the PC in the opposite direction and decrease the damage output of the weapon to account for Newtons' domestic violence law. :D
You would need a rifle or shotgun for any real knockback to be a thing, the pistol would probably slight stumble.
You have to take your character's Mass and the mass of the weapon+the recoil into account, thus why I'm saying the pistol wouldn't really do much or you wouldn't notice unless you really focused that you're moving slightly back.
Maybe when you are in the void you can shoot a gun rapidly and since guns have recoiled that go up you would start spinning. Turn into a blade saw because of how fast you are spinning. And then crash into an enemy and it like one shots every enemy in a 1 mile radius
I felt that about dishonored as well. I was actually i bit interested in it when it came out and yeah i coulnd help feel that is was too much somewhere, now i know the term, that sums it up Splat!
Wow, looking really good. I didn't know about this game anyway everything you introducing everything is exclusive 🙂
Lopes the warcraft 2 referente “Jobs done” XD
Thanks for the preview, would make for an interesting longer series! Doesn't look like they fixed much from the demo though. Combat still seems kind of weak/floaty, and the pacing is still way too slow and tutorial heavy which was a major issue I had with the demo.
Oh inventory is slightly less bad. Neat
Sad to hear that it's tutorial heavy with a game concept where they probably could've gotten away with practically no tutorial
Yeah, the game itself being on actual rails, they can easily and rapidly introduce stuff one after the other without holding hand and pointing directions.
so skipped the Hype train to be on a train to make a hype train! cool!
LOL that IGN review was pretty spot on!!!
remember when i first saw this game. looked fun except for the one big problem it has, storage space. not sure if theyve remedied that annoyance, if so solid game.
Not likely for the early game
Looks like inventory can be upgraded at some point, denoted by the blanked out lines and the've added container shelves which should help with space/storage efficency. Also storage containers have 1 next to their name, perhaps indicating that there might be tier 2 and 3 storages with larger sizes.
You had the cart in the slow mode for the whole way we saw you can go faster
Everything I've seen from this game says that it's really cool, but in dire need of simply more content. Increased pacing and more excitement. The slow stuff works, they got that on point and have for like the past year. Now they need more excitement and a real goal to push for.
This would be a cool VR title
I've never played a game that I'd describe as "too smooth". This is literally an on-rails game. It reminds me a bit of another game he played called Forever Skies though.
You made this sound like an old game, but if you go to Steam it is Early access, but also somehow not available for purchase. It looks like it will be released into EA in 5 days?
Eeeeyy I remember this cool train building game, I love games involving a train like an Xcom game like Bounty Train or this a crafting FPS
"Its going to lead you by the nose." He says about a game thats LITERALLY on rails...
I wanted more Raft, and Voidtrain does not disappoint.
Thanks was thinking about getting this game. =)
Hi Splattercat! Are you planning on playing Shadows of Doubt? I think you would like it!!
Wow. I haven't this for a long long time. I thought it had been abandoned.
Halflife water monster fear intensifies
Hey devs, if you're making a game with an inventory space, once you decided what grid size you think works best, add one more row. Thank you.
Btw, the game sort of reminds me of my 1st experience with No Man Sky, the 1st planet and enemies looked awesome, then I realize that the rest of the planets all have the same enemies and only 1 biome each. Swap the planets for the realms and it's the exact same thing here: Get into a new world, wow it looks nice, then the rest of the ride is just more of the same visually and you already know what enemies you'll run into, except this time you're waiting on a boring train that slowly goes straight. Add overbearing hours of tutorials on top of that to make sure I don't get the satisfaction of figuring things out from what's left to do in the game and that's a hard pass for me. Seems to me like it's the kind of game that will look good in trailers and disappoint quickly.
Raft lost in space train style
I'm really excited about this one. The price tag is way too high for me, so I won't get until there is a huge discount or Epic decides to throw it for free. But I've been hyped about this one since I saw the first trailer video. The demo was certainly cool.
To be honest, though. It looks like a game that I would enjoy in single player, but it would be 100X better in multiplayer.
Looks fun but I'm reading bad things on their Steam page.
Huzzah! Finally a Steam release! Glad Splat put this out, great reminder.
Can't wait for this game! I hope it won't disappoint.
@@killerluuk If its not on Steam, it might as well not exist.
I’ve been playing for 2 weeks. It’s so freaking cool
Hardest to please ever, but, this isn't a bad thing, I think :)
This is definitely not the same version that I have from Epic store. Nice to know that they've been holding out on the updates.
If you get games on EPIC you deserve what you get for supporting greedy monopolization efforts.
@@davidlazerz8564 but you're ok with steam being a monopoly? Steam isn't your friend either.
@@davidlazerz8564 I have bought a single game (Voidtrain) on Epic versus 79 on Steam. Which one is the monopoly again? Make sure you leave your reply here on UA-cam (totally NOT a monopoly company).
Back in the day I supported the monopoly of physical games by purchasing games at GameStop. Did you complain about them too?
@@davidlazerz8564
I don't use Epic because I already had a Steam with like 200 games by the time it came into existence, so I just have no need for a different launcher. But hating on someone for using it is some fetal alcohol syndrome behavior
@@Dubmentia You're just saying that because it's stalling your dopamine centres, calling for only positive happy-happy emotions and rainbows. Epic needs to burn.
Looks like it is coming out on May 9th. Will wait to see what the reviews look like. Not totally sold from this video.
I'm going to wait myself. (Plus I need too as I'm too broke to buy the game.)
I don't know what the fuck people find spectacular about this game
Splatter seems all over the place in this video. Not the best intro to the game tbh but it looks cool.
Game literally in rails, yet you are surprised by lots or tutorial elements. 🤘😎
Looks realy fun indeed! Its been a while that we wait for this title.. Greetings from Belgium SplatterCat ;)
Hey splat! The comment below mine is absolutely correct, rule the world my dude❤❤❤
Very impressive, thanks for sharing :)
Baby got backwagon...
Biiiiig warning to people interested- the inventory management is absolutely abysmal. It looks fun, it has a funny narrator and if another game with nazibaddies is something you need, its fine.. but what you see is what you'll get and when you're stuck to stacks of 5 of an item and 4 slot chests.. and like 8 slots inventory... and stuff requires SO MUCH items that it becomes obnoxious than even Raft in item management... IT will be MUCH better with multiplayer to lighten the inventory load some and even then, it becomes frustrating fast. Hopefully they improve that sometime after steam launch, but somehow i doubt it as they really wanna sell their little Pet-gimmick to you to help 'get resources' now.
Thanks to the Epic suckers for playtesting this game for a year.
I still have to get back to this game. I think it has been over a year. I got stuck with a bug where the baddies at the station would drop items in the ground and i wasn't able to progress.
It is still a really good game and i can't wait until i finish the story and learn about the world snake and the death of gods. Maybe visit Valhalla or sum shit.
might have to pick this up now, probably wait for a sell though
Love the fact that you didn't cover this game because everyone was hyping on it.
And love the fact even more that the game hasn't even left early access but already ditched epic exlusive and went out full on steam too. Now GoG remains.
380acp is a short, rimless cartridge so it is unlikely to be used in a revolver. .38spl is a common revolver round though which definitely has more recoil than 380acp and is only .1mm larger in diameter.
.357Mag is the same diameter as .38 but has much more recoil due to a longer cartridge and more powder being used. For example, when using the same bullet you can load 4.5 grains of Bullseye handgun powder into a .38spl, but you would use up to 8.7 grains in a .357Mag.
I get that you don't all of that to decide if a gun in a game feels like it has too much recoil but having shot a lot of revolver that recoil did not seem unreasonable to me.
23:14 was that a Reel Big Fish melody I just heard you sing!?
Tbh, I'm like you in this way. I hate any and all forms of inventory and stash limits. It's actually really one of the reasons I don't buy certain games, I'd otherwise enjoy.
Even if the game is a mil-sim, or 'hardcore' survival game or such? For example, STALKER had a burdensome inventory limit, but I wouldn't have it any other way with that game. Also, In ArmA, being able to run around with an infinite inventory weight/space would totally break the immersion there, as well as the gameplay.
@@sunnyjim1355 Yeah, even there. Although, I don't see STALKER as military simulation. It's a atmospheric horror-shooter for me. To me, inventory limits are just annoying. I mean, what would ever keep me from going back and forth until I got all the stuff sold, like in STALKER. Yeah, I played it too, actually all STALKER games, and the inventory limit really bothered me, because I had to walk the same way several times just to sell all the loot I didn't need. Games are there so people can unwind, to reduce stress. Not to get more stress, by being caged in with useless mechanics like limited inventory and/or limited stash. I do not need "realism" in most games. Especially not in games that have no "realism" to begin with, like any fantasy, horror or sci-fi game. Inventory limits should be optional, for those whom like such stuff in games, or like to play them with some mechanics that ad a certain degree of realism. Life is stressful enough as it is, I don't need that kind of stress in my hobby. Limited inventory is for me like head-bobbing, blur, or vignette. Totally useless, unless you play real mil-sims like Battlefield or whatever. Never played such games though.
Nice that they use Epic Games as a testing ground before releasing it for real on Steam.
today is a wierd day for me, i wake up after my night shift, out of the blue i remembered this game today, i checked out, its coming out in 5 days on steam and has a demo, damn finally cuz iv been waiting for it with my son for a while. i start downloading demo i come to you tube, lets see what splat has today up for me, hopefully not another space game, i come here and what is it? void train... :D il take it as a sign that its gona be a good game and buy it right off the bat.
I both love and hate these months where Splatter is over the top with have to post vids while everything comes out. I still want him to do videos for games like baurotrama, but at the same time, he's also gotta do a wartales vid cause i think it released for 1.0, but he's also gotta factor in his sponsorship and freeby segments, and finally, he's gotta be true to his fun self that goes through his weird phases.
i'm not sure if they fixed it but when I played this early the issue I had was it was just so tedious to collect. While that's the point. it's like playing raft where there was no nets or barrels and you needed everything twice. once to learn how to build it. and a second time to build it....also the inventory of boxes is laughably small.
keep it up splat awsome content
I like just about everything I'm seeing here...But that damned inventory...And crates with only 4 items slots?!
So anyway I started blapping.
yay, bene hoping for an update on this for a while, the concept and trailer were fascinating.
Been on my wishlist for ages, seemingly without any news (i mean epic store, so ofc, no community. plus a LOT of people put off by that as well, justified in several regards)
I've had this wishlisted on Steam since the COVID lockdowns and have heard nothing on that side haha. This video is first I heard and I'm so happy
Must not have been a piece of tape over the light switch.
@Splattercatgaming Any chance you could do a video where you list off your top games of the past year or two? Maybe put in some links so we can look at your reviews?
I just want the gog branch.
Over creepy Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
Well that's a shame. I'm not getting an epic account, so I'm missing this game
Odd that this video went up 2 hours late, but eh, UA-cam is weird and randomly crappy.
It would definitely be nice to know if this is going to force EGS onto those of us who don't appreciate that sort of thing.
First of all thanks for the video I really enjoy your work, I know there's probably a reason but if the inventory is restricting you can you build way more boxes than needed to store your current amount of stuff?
No ability to turn off head Bob means I can’t play it without getting sim sick or sitting very far back from the monitor. I hope they add that option or someone has a mod to removenit
Kupiłem grę dość wcześnie. W pojedynkę dość ciężko. Ale fajna gra . Zwłaszcza w drużynie, na epicu był wczesny dostęp.
Great video!
playing this instantly
This will be great!
After so many game reviews by so many game reviewers commenting on how it would be nice to have a little more tutorial activity so that they could grasp the game, it's ironic to get into the first seven minutes of a game review and listen to how the reviewer wishes they were given less tutorial activity. At this point I'm not sure what any of you actually want.
if im inventory limited by weight or size, i will either find a mod or straight out CHEAT to get rid of said limitation. i will never, ever, understand having limits like that.
I just started downloading the demo
