I think it's probably the fact that for a video game you have to record a lot more lines than like a scripted episode. So it might be the original cast is just a lot more difficult to get good. Line reads
As someone who’s done 3D modeling of the Heeler house it’s interesting to see how they chose to do the layout in this game, since the house in the show is non-Euclidean and the layout is impossible. They did a fare job but there are some elements that are consistent in the show that this got wrong, like the kitchen should be the room to the left of the upstairs living room.
The mouth shapes are drawn as vectors but they get rasterized when the animation is rendered. They also need to be rasterized to be used as a texture for a 3D model.
It's crazy that we've had the technology to render real-time, antialiased vector animation since the late '90s, but there's never been a mainstream, standalone, cross-platform game engine that can natively handle it.
@SabersparkHighlights Yes, the Heelers' kitchen and living room are canonically upstairs. Apparently, when it comes to multi-level homes in Australia, the kitchen and the living room being upstairs is the norm.
So in regards to Bluey’s voice sounding off, I know we can’t confirm since the children actors are kept unlisted in the series, however in this gameplay some of Bluey’s lines reminded me of what Mackenzie’s voice actor sounds like.
Second comment but the layout is pretty accurate! The kitchen is upstairs for some reason, and can be seen when they're replacing the stump in the yard, and one other time where there was some party going on from my memory, as well as a shot in the mini bluey one. It does appear to change a few times in the series, but we also do see chilly moving furnature about often, so there may even just be changes in which room is used for what 😂
I heard the va for bandit’s dad got really sick and that’s why we never see him and the show didn’t just want to replace him, but he’s gotten better and allegedly we’ll see more of him soon.
I read that as Bluey and Bingo’s voice actors get older, the way the studio keeps them sounding the same is they’ve been electronically tweaking their voices, not with AI, but techniques like speeding up their voices and pitch shifting them, stuff that has been used in media for decades. My guess is those tweaks were not applied to the voices for this game which is why Bluey sounds off
People bashing this game for no good reason. Is it top-tier? No. But it isn't bad. The show is meant for preschoolers, why would the game be otherwise? The game was so quick because: 1) no collecting of items or looking around was being done until the end 2) you don't need to make a game a hundred hours long to be effective 3) the grown-ass man with many years experience with playing video games that happens to have developed greater hand-eye coordination than literal 5-year-olds (the target player), blitzef the through the storyline. Is it still short? Yes. It could've done with one or two more overarching narratives (the treasure hunt) stretched across multiple more "episodes", while still keeping the house as the hub. It still isn't all that bad for a children's game, and I don't mean by the old, lazy "good enough for a kid's game" standards that have been made over the years. Most video games for a similar age group are outright pale shadows of this game, visually, narratively, and in interactivity. This game has: 1) good music 2) solid representation of its source material's characters, locations, and art style 3) room to move around in each area, as opposed to a narrow path that railroads you to the next task 4) minigames you can play at any time, after you unlock them 5) a variation in locations that are each distinct, instead of just lazy pallet swaps 6) interactivity with the environment that gives the impression of each area being an actual space that is lived in, rather than just a space things happen in It has some minor flaws (lip syncing is off; occasional minor clipping; short run-time) so it wouldn't earn a 9 or 10 out of 10, but it certainly does not deserve to be treated like a 3/10. Remember, this game isn't meant for you. It is made for a players that may not have developed their spacial awareness, hand-eye coordination, and/or familiarity with common video game mechanics. There are supposed AAA games with hundreds of millions of dollars put behind them that couldn't hold a candle to this game, but those charge up to $70 for their base games, while Bluey charges $40. And who knows, maybe if pushed, the studio may release extra "episodes" as patches or free DLC in the future to extend the game. At least the game is complete on arrival, and doesn't need a Day-One patch or update patches weeks or months later to be complete.
I mean, the game is beautiful, but the gameplay is meh, even for preschoolers. It's mostly "run around, watch a video, run around, watch another video." And it's sad cuz running around the house must be awesome for them. But I compare this to the games I played as a kid and it's missing something to me.
The composer should've been given a raise. The music sounds really good for a shovelware game lmao. Also for an Australian game, there are remasters of Ty 1 & 2 on PS4 & Switch.
@@Optimegatrongodzilla I mean, considering how lazy the game feels in general, I'd definitely say that the game just recycling music from the TV series is a result of the developers' laziness. There could've been some composer who wanted to make some nice original music, but the rest of the development team wanted to get their paycheck early & thus they threw in random tracks from the show & called it a day. What I'm saying is, yes, it IS lazy, because it more or less shows just how little the developers or publisher cared.
@@ExtremeWreck Well, it's good music, but I see what you're saying. And, yeah, this game definitely needed a lot more time in the oven than it was given!
animation in a video games is very different than normal animation. it’s harder to animate flat 2d assets in a 3d open world. the assets are definitely different than the ones in the show it has different line art. i’m kinda tired of these youtubers who purely blame the workers that were probably overworked when it was probably on time constraints like most video games. you know next to nothing on the production. also it’s a game for actual babies
Yeah I was pretty disappointed by how cheaply made this game is. My jaw was agape whenever I unlocked a new hat and it just stayed as a static image on the characters heads while they danced.
They definitely didn't pick a company that knew what they were doing for this game😅 better luck next time, bluey! Not the worst first try I've seen still
i feel like maybe how they recorded the audio for the game was from their homes rather then actually in a studio, which is why it sounds weirder then normal and they if they did get a different voice actor for bluey maybe its because the main voice actor for her was too nervous to record lines for something like this?
I tried to play this on gamepass, but it just doesn’t accept my inputs. Neither keyboard nor controller. Good thing I can live vicariously through your stream, as, uh, not good as the game likely is.
I could definitely see a bluey game where you play one of their long form games, maybe as like a partner-based platformer. The animation reminds me a lot of the steven universe save the light game, so i could also see an rpg. Honestly any genre works well for bluey
Bluey's VA is growing up, remember, so her voice will inevitably change. It's hard to say for sure if all the kids are the same actors from the show.

can you share a picture of the model, if you posted it anywhere?
The mouth shapes are drawn as vectors but they get rasterized when the animation is rendered. They also need to be rasterized to be used as a texture for a 3D model.
It looks like they converted the vectors of the mouth to bitmap before doing so, likely to save on memory usage but.. such a weird choice

This gives me _Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People_ vibes.
My sister got this game for me and it was 69 bucks bro 😭 (in Australian dollar bucks)
A video with a time of 59:59… perfection
Bluey and Bingo's voice actors have their voices edited since they aged

Best part of the game is when Bluey says: "It bluein time!"
And proceeds to Blue-ab-de-ab-di everywhere.
this is a great game. you can actually do things your not supposed to do. Thats half the fun of it.
Yes😂 so I’m not allowed in messing up the house for fun in this game
What happened to your Night in the Woods let's play? :/ Why did that go nowhere?
Maybe it was too much effort to play that or they lost interest?
I thought they finished it
@@rishicoyote Thank you so much, somehow I never got to see the last parts and I thought it was dropped entirely.

Yo that dog is blue
Well they're all cattle dogs. The two blue ones are Blue Heelers.
Bingo's little "eh" sound effect sounds like someone bumped into her/pushing her around.
Bluey sounds like shes using a different microphone than the others
I can't fully hate this game. Even if they voice acting and the way the characters move isn't the best, it's still cute
I heard the va for bandit’s dad got really sick and that’s why we never see him and the show didn’t just want to replace him, but he’s gotten better and allegedly we’ll see more of him soon.

The music compositions are just recycled from the TV series.
@@Optimegatrongodzilla Oh. So the developers were just lazy on the music side of things then.
@@ExtremeWreck 🤦♂️ No, they weren't. They were using familiar music compositions from the TV series.

Okay now bluey sounded like chloe!! Now I’m wondering if they used clips from the show and just mixed it.
Where's his sabersona?
Is there a canon layout for Bluey's house or is it like the Simpsons where it always changes?

The animation kinda reminds me of the pc Winnie the Pooh games from when I was little.
Finally time for some real gaming
i feel like maybe how they recorded the audio for the game was from their homes rather then actually in a studio, which is why it sounds weirder then normal
and they if they did get a different voice actor for bluey maybe its because the main voice actor for her was too nervous to record lines for something like this?
Bluey sounded like judo for a second, heck I thought she appeared in the game!
At least the Spanish dub of this video game they got all the cast.
The game's developer is from Spain, so that makes sense.
I'm not sure why Bandit is saying the episode titles.
HOORAY
I think these are sprites on a 3D plane.
I think the issues with the voices show how much difference direction can make on a performance

For the RPG game, the art style could be like what they did in Dragons!

Im glad its a GOOD game and not just shopping, hair, dress up , make up, the mall and boys on the phone.
I think the voices are off due to this being their first game. Maybe working with voice files for games is worked differently than for shows.
