Finally an action rhythm game to join NSR and it has a Disney XD animation vibe to it and the music and literally everything being on the same rhythm and beat is amazing
1:20:37 There's a note earlier in the game where a disgruntled robot worker added a firmware to the coffee maker that makes it only dispense decaf as payback. I can't believe something so minute would have a comedic payoff.
That's another reason why this game is amazing. It's CONTINUITY for even the little details. Korsica even commented on why there is firmware on the coffee maker.
I love those little notes. One of my favourites is near the closed door at the entrance to the Testing Labs where Zanzo orders the staff to build that door even though it leads to literally nothing, just to give the impression of grandeur if Kale ever showed up
i am not sure about that there is a history of games turned into movies and then failing I can only think of one that actually worked and it was the sonic movie every other movie just cut most of the game out to fit into the movie
Honestly watching that scene got me stuck to watching more of the game demo When the music hits and more characters get revealed It was an instant buy for me Also the Deluxe edition gave me a stupid T-Shirt lol
1:11:13 okay not going to lie that was one of the best boss transformations I've ever seen I never thought they would actually go for a cybernetic werewolf as a boss. Pretty badass.
I think it might actually be a reference: This Beethoven song is used in the CNN theme, CNN has Wolf Blitzer. As a matter fact, Ben 10 did this first, by having him rename his alien form that we originally just knew as “Ben-Wolf” to “Blitzwolfer” after literally watching CNN on a nearby television! They also share quite the striking resemblance!
The game is fun yes, but it also has heart. The story shines thanks to how well the characters were made, is compelling even when it makes fun of itself. I will treasure this experience forever.
1. Zanzo got them JoJo poses. The devs are cultured. 2. Macaron sounds like if Dwayne Johnson was British (in a good way). 3. ES-101 sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger
4. 808 is the strongest character in that world soloing Kale, having two of the strongest abilities in the game one being the highest damage super you can get.
I think the funniest thing about it is that it was like a one in a million chance that the MP3 landed right onto Chai. Like it bounced off a few pipes, off a cleaning robot, and fell at just the right angle that it landed right on his chest. I honestly think that's more insulting to Kale than the whole "I created my own worst enemy thing" lol
Normally I don't like watching "game movies". But this didn't feel a normal cutscene compilation, this game and it's cutscenes have enough charm to work as a show or movie.
zanzo is literally a jojo reference and a jojo character which means one of the creators of the game knew what they were doing and also has done a good choice too bad they made them a joke boss and not an actual bossfight
1:11:11 this was by far the easiest fight in the game once you realized this guy is allergic to the grapple/magnet hook. But he was my favorite for the sheer spectacle of it. Wish he had like 10 more phases.
This guy was the hardest for me, and he's allergic to the HOOK??!! I'm totally trying this fight again with this knowledge, I need my *revenge* against this guy.
@@Zilkenian_Davenport If you constantly use the magnet to get super close to him and stay in the air as you do damage, he can't hit you back at all. Basically the fight is a massive game of don't touch the floor.
Even tho I cannot play the game. Man, I am so glad something like this exist. A videogame that just focus on being fun and passionate, not just 'how much money we can milk?'. Excellent work, Tango
Just finished the game a couple hours ago and wanted to watch all of the cutscenes again because it’s PHENOMENAL. Really makes me consider going into game design I gotta say
I’m not sure if this comparison is accurate, but Kale is basically like Ratchet from Robots if he were a human. He doesn’t care about the people, he only cares about selling something to them that they’ll either have no choice but to buy or have to literally give up their limbs to buy.
To think that Kale himself doomed his own project... It's kind of funny. Also, one of the things I love the most when a character is transformed in one way or another is when they start realizing the several new things they have going on. In this case, love how Chai at 6:56 starts noticing his new... heartbeat? That wasn't there before. His face when he sees what it actually is is priceless.
1:16:59 - SPOILER KORSICA: "Wait, this is all an overly-complicated plan to sell more product?" KALE: "Do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to make something people actually want to buy? It’s ridiculously hard! Hey, a new whatever! Well, what color? What model? Size? Speed? Do I need it?" This guy is complaining that running a business is too hard. Kale is not a businessman - he's a *politician* pretending to be a businessman! KUDOS
I really love this game, but one thing which I really find amusing is how a lot of the characters have names of foods, snakes, etc like Peppermint, Chai, and literal KALE.
I Absolutely Love and Adore the Animation Style of this Brand Newest Video Game! This needs to be a Movie or a Television Series! I Absolutely Love Erica Lindbeck SO much here in this Game, as the Voice of Peppermint!
Kales plan: “Alright, I’m going to make a device that will allow me to mind control everyone who has ever bought my products and with this revolutionary power that I could use for absolutely anything I desire I’m going to… Make them buy more product”
At the moment I've watched only the first 30 minutes, but I already love this game and the fact that Zanzo is a living Jojo reference makes the game even better. This is also one of those rare cases where I regret having PlayStation instead of Xbox
Fun fact! The motif that plays when Roquefort transforms is either Beethoven's or Wolfgang's 5th (with Wolfgang's being a modified version of Beethoven's).
Not a bad story, especially considering Bethesda's track record. Hopefully this studio keeps its creativity. I quite like the voice acting and character design (and music, naturally). Although, most of the main villains blowing up is a bit...strange; would've been nice to see Kale actually face the music. That aside, I wonder if they'll continue into other music genres...?
we gotta get dlc and a sequel and the works for this game sunset overdrive may be rotting in a dumpster but there has to be SOME game that can take up the Dreamcast legacy
YES!! Just finished the game earlier today and all I could think of in Roquefort’s transformation was how much it reminded me of RWBY! Glad I’m not the only one haha
As i remember there is no mention of Zanzos death, he just got hit one time, hit a server, and access card falled off, i like to think he's been there for some time and then just runned away - other bosses explode he just explodes.(not deadly)
hey did anyone notice that in the credits that one little scene where the security guard winked at the engineer and the hint of blush why do I have a feeling there's some type of relationship going on there honestly I was hoping that it would be a relationship between those two and the main hero
Zanzo is the perfect JoJo's reference. Love it! And I have to wonder if Chai is a reference to Fooley Cooley with the way he swings around a guitar as a melee weapon.
Feels weird to me. This never came up during the game and Korsica is like 10 years older than her, and Korsica doesn’t look like she has any interest. I’m not opposed, just… confused?
@@Tortilla_Pizzeria_Pixels So long as she’s not like 18 or something I’m cool with it lol. Korsica is more mature and focused while Pepp is still getting to explore these feelings
Hopefully it’s just a one sided puppy love. I’m tired of constant romance being shoved in. Why can’t we just have people stay friends? Why gotta have someone and somebody always get together 🙄. And I say this for straight, bi, gay, etc. relationships.
Fun fact: if you take Rekka’s “Days Without Defects” counter at face value, she’s been throwing people into the QA pit for over 2.7 million years.
LMAO??????? FOR REAL?!!!
She’s an old lady
I mean, technically there was no defects for 2.7 million years if there was no production for 2.7 million years, just sayin
@@strgn1360 But then who were the defects warranting the beginning of the counter...
Vandelay prob lied abt that
Absolutely adore the way they blend 3d and 2d into the cutscenes
Same!
Same
Same here!! I especially love the 2D because it looks so smooth and fluid!!
It's so incredibly seamless, too. As both a 3D and 2D animator, this is pure eye candy.
The images put onto 3D models are 2d so it’s not exactly groundbreaking
Finally an action rhythm game to join NSR
and it has a Disney XD animation vibe to it and the music and literally everything being on the same rhythm and beat is amazing
This especially reminds me of Slugterra. I guess that's where the Disney XD part comes from
Same i felt old school vibe here was wondering why
More like dillongoo
this giving me gen rex and early ben 10 vibes
Reminds me of Spider-Verse.🕸
1:20:37 There's a note earlier in the game where a disgruntled robot worker added a firmware to the coffee maker that makes it only dispense decaf as payback. I can't believe something so minute would have a comedic payoff.
I know when that happened I died laughing because I remembered finding that data pad
That's another reason why this game is amazing. It's CONTINUITY for even the little details. Korsica even commented on why there is firmware on the coffee maker.
Hopefully Korsica gets her caffeinated Coffee after all this
I love those little notes. One of my favourites is near the closed door at the entrance to the Testing Labs where Zanzo orders the staff to build that door even though it leads to literally nothing, just to give the impression of grandeur if Kale ever showed up
The robot guards have been programmed for maximum personality.
This needs to be a movie or a TV show. I would love to see that
Agree
Ong
Agree
agree
i am not sure about that there is a history of games turned into movies and then failing I can only think of one that actually worked and it was the sonic movie every other movie just cut most of the game out to fit into the movie
Its just like watching a cartoon, i love it
Same
An action cartoon from the early 2000s that’s for sure
Reminds me a bit of the old Teen Titans with it's anime-inspired visuals
More like an Anime
Agreed and most of the bosses were so easy
Poor Korsica, Chai tries to handle her gently but he just keeps bumping her head against *EVERYTHING* .
It's why I consider her end of boss qte a fail canonically lmao
Fits better with how he keeps accidentally hurting Korsica.
I wish Chai tried to handle Korsica in a better way (a more gentle way)
korsica has brain damage
I love that they name the actual songs when a new one comes up.
So it's easier to look up because it's an actual soundtrack.
even shows up as it was a MTV music video
36:32 got to respect the fact he gave them a second
5:18-5:27
This one moment alone is more relatable than the entirety of Forspoken.
Honestly watching that scene got me stuck to watching more of the game demo
When the music hits and more characters get revealed
It was an instant buy for me
Also the Deluxe edition gave me a stupid T-Shirt lol
1:11:13 okay not going to lie that was one of the best boss transformations I've ever seen I never thought they would actually go for a cybernetic werewolf as a boss. Pretty badass.
“Chai… I’M TURNING INTO MY FUCKING FURSONA!”
I think it might actually be a reference:
This Beethoven song is used in the CNN theme, CNN has Wolf Blitzer.
As a matter fact, Ben 10 did this first, by having him rename his alien form that we originally just knew as “Ben-Wolf” to “Blitzwolfer” after literally watching CNN on a nearby television!
They also share quite the striking resemblance!
And it still had a monocle.
1:11:14 This is probably the most cleanest and coolest animated cutscene I’ve ever seen in a video game.
The game is fun yes, but it also has heart. The story shines thanks to how well the characters were made, is compelling even when it makes fun of itself. I will treasure this experience forever.
Game of the year so far easy
29:10 this is the best game to animation transition I’ve ever seen in a video game
Yeah! Dude got punched so hard he turned to a 2D animation
Literally like an anime i love it
I just love how they gave the robot enemies so much personality.
1. Zanzo got them JoJo poses. The devs are cultured.
2. Macaron sounds like if Dwayne Johnson was British (in a good way).
3. ES-101 sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger
4. 808 is the strongest character in that world soloing Kale, having two of the strongest abilities in the game one being the highest damage super you can get.
I would like to point out that Kale’s undoing all began the moment he touched someone else’s property.
More like carelessly tossed away someone else's property.
Know that think of it he threw a wrench into his own plan.
I think the funniest thing about it is that it was like a one in a million chance that the MP3 landed right onto Chai. Like it bounced off a few pipes, off a cleaning robot, and fell at just the right angle that it landed right on his chest. I honestly think that's more insulting to Kale than the whole "I created my own worst enemy thing" lol
@@Subpar1O1kale made one mistake and the universe aligned to punish him for it
"You've got a cool track. But every song's gotta end." very nice quote right there
It's "killer track", actually.
@@BurstFlare oh okay, but still, it's really awesome for a main protagonist to say that kind of line
Normally I don't like watching "game movies". But this didn't feel a normal cutscene compilation, this game and it's cutscenes have enough charm to work as a show or movie.
Maybe as a show with at least 5 episodes for each boss fight.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that the main cast is named after herbs?
really ? cool
Chai, Peppermint, Macaron, Korsica.
It goes beyond this. Everyone but 808 is named after food.
I absolutely love video-game-movie like transition animations. A very rare and unique experience! 🤯
1:27:02
*That cut was pretty perfect*
I watched the whole thing, despite this being a game I got a whole movie out of it.
I always liked warm hearted movies and for this to blend it into a cartoony animation of a game is awesome
zanzo is literally a jojo reference and a jojo character
which means one of the creators of the game knew what they were doing and also has done a good choice
too bad they made them a joke boss and not an actual bossfight
1:11:11 this was by far the easiest fight in the game once you realized this guy is allergic to the grapple/magnet hook. But he was my favorite for the sheer spectacle of it. Wish he had like 10 more phases.

It’s funny how Kale pulled a Neo Cortex and accidentally created his arch nemesis.
I wonder what's that trope called?
Just finished the game a couple hours ago and wanted to watch all of the cutscenes again because it’s PHENOMENAL. Really makes me consider going into game design I gotta say
1:09:30 Bar none the _cleanest_ transition between 3D and 2D that I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
Zanzo getting defunded and then immediately falling into a state of crippling depression is one of the funniest boss cutscenes I’ve ever seen
I need a show of this asap. Even if there’s no big story and just one offs I still need it.
Heard that the creator wanted to make a tv series instead of a sequel
Just like funky slice of life shorts of the main characters and, heck, even the side characters too! It woukd be so much fun!
I’m not sure if this comparison is accurate, but Kale is basically like Ratchet from Robots if he were a human. He doesn’t care about the people, he only cares about selling something to them that they’ll either have no choice but to buy or have to literally give up their limbs to buy.
Oh You Mean That Silver Idiot With Suit😏
Sounds like real life.
True but his mother isn't evil
This game has soul
Like you Can actually feel all the love behind it and the care the devs put into this project
It’s so awesome
Wait wait wait wait wait how come no one mentioned this was produced by shinji mikami???? NOW WONDER THIS GAME'S AN ABSOLUTE BANGER
This looks like a show you would find on netflix
But it gets cancelled
I love that they put Left Shark in it. Also, this was better than some movies I've recently seen!
To think that Kale himself doomed his own project... It's kind of funny.

@@mikaelpetronius3106 from a podcast on Spotify, can't exactly remember where
@@acssination8541 oh ok
The fact that it even does the classic “previously on” thing proves that this would work perfectly in that medium
I am very interested in this world. Like it fills out the check marks for the cyberpunk genre but there’s a weird layer of optimism underneath it
It’s actually a good future with a few cunts who get dispatched and things go back to normal.
1:16:59 - SPOILER
KORSICA: "Wait, this is all an overly-complicated plan to sell more product?"
KALE: "Do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to make something people actually want to buy? It’s ridiculously hard!

This guy is complaining that running a business is too hard. Kale is not a businessman - he's a *politician* pretending to be a businessman!
KUDOS
Peppermint: Smart, sassy, and hot in a cute-sexy kinda way.
Korsica: Tough, brave, tall, fit, and that VOICE!
Which one would I choose? YES!
I’m really surprised Bethesda pulled it off with this game out of nowhere
Actually the sneak attack worked
@@skootergirl22 it just works!
43:10 I love how Chai felt bad when he accidentally crashed on TEC-78 (the chilling security dude)
I love the constant breaking the fourth wall.
46:55 best thing to come out of this game that isn’t Korsica:
Game reminds me so much of No more heroes
And the sound tracks in this game are a BOP!!!
Actually, it gives more no straight road vibe
Best line goes to " are we actually giving them a moment sir ?"
9 digits of days without defects? thats over a hundred thousand years. maybe even a million.
Kale: No defects!
Also Kale: ^winds up negligently creating one such defect^
It’s amazing how a game like this plays and looks better than Forespoken and at half the price too.
I like how Mimosa has the patience to allow Chai to get out of costume before attacking.

It's even more funny it only took a few hits lol.
i usually dont watch video game cut like this but this was actually good hopefully they make a series out of this
This game feels like: UA-camrs are trying to fight to reform UA-cam headquarters.
And now, we need a NSR/Hi-Fi Rush crossover game.
MAKE IT HAPPEN
That is a great idea.
If NSR gets some at least one crossover DLC in the future, Hi-Fi Rush should be its top priority. It would work so well.
Peppermint's interest in Korsica really came out of nowhere.
Love that the only reason the game happens is because the Big Bad invokes the Butterfly Effect by throwing that iPod.
This is bursting with so much personality its insane. This is what NSR should've been
Not a bad story, especially considering Bethesda's track record. Hopefully this studio keeps its creativity.
I quite like the voice acting and character design (and music, naturally). Although, most of the main villains blowing up is a bit...strange; would've been nice to see Kale actually face the music.
That aside, I wonder if they'll continue into other music genres...?
we gotta get dlc and a sequel and the works for this game
sunset overdrive may be rotting in a dumpster but there has to be SOME game that can take up the Dreamcast legacy
