2:03We're about to check out Screamer. Yeah. We're being cast plays. A game that I, you know, wasn't really on my radar a whole lot until you kind of mentioned it here and there. And then it was really that slack. That maybe go, oh shit. Blessing loves this. Yeah. This is something we got to really kind of look after. You know? I'm curious what will happen when more people get their hands on Screamer. Because review, the review embargo was really interesting. It was Sunday at 4 a.m. Our time, which is an insane time for review embargo. And also, it's a very busy season. So I don't think that many people got to review it. Like when I checked medical, I think it only had like 20 or so reviews. Okay. And so I expect maybe a few more to trickle in or maybe word of mouth. We'll see how many people end up falling in love with this game. The, the way that I did. But it was very gratifying seeing Tim also play it during the weekend. It's gonna be like, dude, this shit's awesome. Oh, okay. Hey, God. It's not, it's not just me. It feels like such a Tim game. Yeah. Oh, what's happening? Oh, so we're playing on a guest account so we can start from the top. But I think we should be able to. What?

3:04We'll then not let us play with it. Oh, yeah. Don't show this. Hmm. Well, I didn't know, I didn't know this would happen. I didn't even know what the guest account stuff was. Yeah, I assumed it was just. Oh, okay. No, I backed out. I backed out. I wasn't sure. Does it just let us go? No, yeah. It's making us. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. We hit okay one more time. This doesn't work. You can just play. Whoa. Okay. Cool. There you go. Nobody signed into this place. Nobody signed. Please. God. I don't know how that works. Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's the right one. That's about a six. Yeah, six is the next one. Are you playing dutch? Dutch. He's the thing, dutch. All right. Let's see here. Driving aids. Oh, yeah. This is the kind of what we're talking about with like some of the accessibility stuff. All right.

4:04One heavy control subtitles. Yeah. Let's see here. On audio. An eyeless reduction. Like. Here we go. Damn, they got voice chat. Why? There's online. Oh, shit. Yeah. I had so much to talk about during the review. And like, I honestly didn't even get to it all. Because I neglected to mention that the villain is played by Troy Baker in this game. Oh, shit. Yeah, Troy Baker. And then the like the main guy, Hiroshi, is played by Alex Lee. Right. Yeah. Who was like, he's Lucas Carter. He was here. And he was here in our studio. And he also played, I think, Junpei in Persona 3. Also, Krabbit, I'm realizing that we don't have chat up. Yeah. That's okay, though. Yeah, that's okay. We can look at a super chats later. Yeah. Yeah. So I guess the plan is, you want me to kind of hop in, see what the story's like. Yeah. We'll hit the add. And then after that, you'll show us some of the cooler, later game stuff. Yeah. And it's not spoilery. That's not spoilery, yeah. Because the way the game starts is, it essentially puts you right into the story. And the story mode does a really good job of slowly introducing mechanics.

5:04And also, like, looping that in with what's going on in world to explain why these mechanics are, what they are, like the boost system, the entropy system that I talked about during the review. Oh, they also have, like, a nice anime intro here. Oh, nice. Yeah, okay. Perfect. But yeah, one to start off with story in the later on, I'll show you what this arcade gameplay looks like. So sick. Come on. Yeah, there's that. There's also what I wanted to mention. Doesn't really matter. Also. Oh, yeah. Krab, do you have, oh, he's narrowing it. Also, streamers is an old franchise. I don't know if you knew this. I didn't know that. Yeah. Oh, that looks so fire. Yeah. Back in the 90s. I think maybe even early 2000s. But correct. Yeah, I don't. I mean, the name screamer it bokes Dreamcast. You know, like, I guess I'd never really had to. I didn't even, obviously, I didn't even know it was a franchise at one point, which made me wonder why name the game screamer.

6:05I didn't know what it was about. It was a franchise. It was nothing like this, though. Like, I was looking up gameplay and it just looks like an old, sitting kind of racer. But straight away. Like, oh, let me look it up. Let me look it up. Because I remember there being like screamer four by four. It's shit like that. But it like did not have this anime aesthetic whatsoever. I guess it probably was like scream racing type thing. You race with being serious. Any fast and fierce references? No. Damn, no. They have that out of that. I could be a reference. Um, it was fairly Emma Stoss. Oh, wow. Yeah. Shit. The first game was a 1993. Screamer two was 96. Why would Anaconda core care about winning some racing tournament anyway? Sure, a patch prize is nothing to them. You could have changed your fate, would you? A sign. Caterpillar said. 100 billion dollars.

7:05I couldn't care less what a stranger with terrible tastes and AES is texted you. If Queen could see us now. Roshi. What? Roshi. Your Roshi is cool, right? 100 billion is such a non-existent amount of money. To give away, you know? I mean, Elon's close to a trillion, but 100 billion is such a funny thing. Well, you can tell me that like two people in the world have 100 billion dollars. It's a good real. That's the dude who's on that guy. That's the guy. Come on, Roshi. Roshi. We need cars. Fast ones. Oh, fuck yeah, dude. Again, the buy-in that I have to this game and this has been its story in this world. Like, as I'm rewatching this, I'm like, let's go. We're so in. I can rob. A decade working as a PMC. Putting away money. Just a- Just to flush it down the toilet.

8:06I know, but we need a way of getting to Gabrielle, right? Everything's done. Gabrielle is worse than you. He's a loser during me, but... His pride remains the same. I look at that and I go, Gabriel. Yeah. Gabrielle sounds... I mean, that's usually like... I knew a lot of Gabrielle women growing up. Yeah. So like... Yeah. Yeah. So like, it's, you know, I'm interested, you know, fascinating, though. Gabrielle, I think speaks French. He knows when we'll see... He doesn't speak English. So like, I think it's just based off of the country's room. And Caterpillar seems to think this is our only chance. Who the heck's Caterpillar? Are we about to find out? See this Christ Caterpillar again. Oh, wow. Hiroshi. A stranger. He texts you from an untraceable number. And refers to themselves as an insect. Gabrielle Union. Ah, shit. No, actually, I think that's about the way you're thinking. It's a lead. It's... It's something.

9:06Ah. I think some people in the game's cast chat... automatically assumed... visual novel, no voice acting. Yeah, but all voice acting. It's all voice acting. That's cool. But not like screamers. That's cool. How many other... How many other comparisons you got for Edgick? He's the most... Metaphoruses. Thanks, Frederick. Sure. Yeah. Let's see what these things can do. And by things, they're done by cars. Hmm. It's funny. Like, this is the moment. I guess before we even get into the racing, right? Like, the visual novel stuff is where I was like, Oh, all right.

10:06Like, I didn't realize this could be more... Like, this kind of vibe. I thought it was gonna be more cutscenes. But then, like, the more... The further the story goes, the more I was like, this is awesome. Metaphoruses. Yeah. Let's see. Accelerate using R2, break using L2. Use left and left stick to steer, right to drift. Steering and drifting work independently of each other and can be combined to handle corners more effectively. I mean, it looks so great. It looks amazing. It looks so great. All right. Keep drifting. All right. So, I like the little side objectives on the fall, right? Yeah. Well, I'll be your main objective. I mean, I'll do that real bad. So this is just to get you into it, get to use the controls. How often you let your finger off the pedal? A lot of the times, because I'm drifting around a hard corner. Like, it took me through half the game until I kind of figure out the rhythm of, like, take my hand off the pedal while drifting, while also, like, even putting on the brake or whatever, right? Yeah, yeah. It's, like, the sharper the corner, like, this corner, I might put in, like, a little tap of the brake as I'm... Okay, got you.

11:06Trying to get a feel for it. It's tough. I do like the dual sense though. Like, the vibrations feel nice. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you feel it in the triggers. Yeah, the adaptive triggers feel great too. Which is funny, because I was playing at my desk. I was working because I had my headphones on. And I was playing some of this game. And I'm like, I wonder if everybody just hears, like, the crackle of my controller. I thought that was a ramp I could maybe jump up. See, that was another thing. This funny, because, like, early on, I had a lot of these things of, like, interesting, no traffic, no ramps. I thought there would be, like, more ramps in an arcade racer. And then all that stuff kind of, like, faded away as I played more. Yeah, because when you talk about your goal always wanting, you're chasing that burnout high. Yeah. What exactly is it that makes you chase the burnout out? Are you talking about just its feel? Is it one of the things where it's, like, mainly,

12:06maybe it's just tied in nostalgia, or is it, like, what exactly is it? It's three things. It's speed, because burnout has a really fast sense of speed. And I think part of that might even be camera tricks of, like, how they make everything. Right, the FOV. Yeah, the FOV, like, how everything looks glorious or as they're going. But they have a really good sense of speed. There's also the drifting of burnout, which feels great. Which, this game captures a little bit for me as well. And then there's, like, the aggression, like, to take down the shit like that. Which, this game kind of tries to do. Doesn't do it as good as burnout, but I appreciate the fact that it's there. I'm so sorry to interrupt, but while we're out here gripping our scale. Because I'm still chasing San Francisco rush. I'm just like, and it's just, it's a mainly in the south thing, but I love going up a ramp and seeing my car just spin a shit load of times and try to land. You know what I mean? And that's one thing I always wished for when playing Forza. Forza is so player friendly in that it doesn't let you accidentally launch off the ground without you wanting to.

13:09It wants to keep you grounded so that it, you know, even though that's not how physics necessarily work, your car's like a lot heavier in that game. They don't want you flying all over the place and crashing. They want the game to be friendly with you. You know, but there are times where I'm like, I wish there was a low gravity or like lower gravity so that I can't launch it. What's funny is that burnout is the same way. Burnout doesn't have you like launching that often. It was born lead. Cool. I don't care what we do. Long as it ends with Gabriel six feet under. They're just trying to get him out. What's funny is that like early on? I'm like, oh, well, these are the main characters. They're the good guys, right? And the more you play, the more you're like, oh, they just want to kill this guy. Yeah, that's their whole mission. You know, nobody here is really a, a quote unquote good guy. If they come here for me, they risk to shoot before we can touch it. I'm going to do this Gabriel's trick. We're going to be changed. For me for the tournament.

14:10Quinn founded the banshee's. The female lead private military company. And there's the adult language. Yeah. Yeah. It's her legacy. We're not changing. Breakfast is the front of bed. Ben's like, what is my stick? Greg's a bent at microdict at school again. We've got a tournament to join. We've got a tournament to join everyone. And then this is what I'm talking about where you'll lock things. Okay, mirrors. Okay. And that's the loot box. Yeah, that's like while saying like the quote unquote is like not really loot boxes, but this automatic like randomized, like cosmetic things that you're collecting. So basically the box. Um, hello. Also, if you saw on the loading screen, like this is episode two. So like an episode is over is basically one race. What the what?

15:11That's a racer. What the dog can drive. Yeah, that's amazing. The names gauge. What the fuck dog do that? You know, it's a question. That's a gauge just like letting the chest all the way out. Beautiful. And the app. Brain hair. Well, Mr. A has a strict no weapons policy. So unless you want to forfeit your chance at $100 billion. Okay. Is the person giving that out? Then bankrupt. Yeah, we're getting this is all their money. It's in my will. Because if I'm giving away $100 billion, like I got to have multiple trillion. Because even if you have one trillion, it's like I'm not giving away $100 billion on a street race. Black doggy. Thank you for 61 months.

16:11It's love to the KF group. Thank you so much. Thank you. Also, while we're here, remember you can super chat in. If you have any questions, also shout out to our Patreon producers. Carl Jacobs will make up a string to leaning the psalm to whining. No, nothing like that. It's just no fence, but you've had your sweaty palms all over them. And I'm not a fan of sweat. Or oil. Or any fluid. Really? Aren't you a mechanic? The cleanest mechanic he'll ever meet. I think gauge and easy mirroring. He just... Yeah. And no funny business. Like getting another gun in between races. You'll be checked before every race immediately disqualified and arrested if needed. Does that mean that they had problems with people just sticking out guns out the car windows? You got to assume that they had some issues. There we got to crack down on that. Ooh, me. God, no. Fermi. What are the honors? The dog. She's so cute. How the freak are you driving?

17:11That... A driving dog is worth more than a hundred billion dollars. Like, there's something just that I was wondering. You really think a man offering up $100 billion can't afford to have all the police in Neo Rey on his payroll. So are we good? To enter the tournament? Grab your cars and meet me back here. I just have to make a simple modification. All five. What I need is like a big parking lot to fuck with it. You know what I mean? It's definitely harder to do it and more discouraging to do it when you're in a track already. Yeah. And there's just... Okay, with this. Of course. The J-Pop group? Yeah. This is the criminals I talked about. Or those are the actual, like, corporate deeds. Based on a five crew. So you said a cry. These are the criminals. So these are the criminals.

18:21So is Gage just a neutral party? Yeah. Is it everybody? He works with, like, the organizer. Gotcha. Yeah. Of the tournament. The Echo. I'm assuming that's the booster that lets us hit people. Let's give you quite a few things. Oh, wow. Yeah, you'll learn it throughout the experience. Oh, wow. Hiroshi Frederick and... Roisin? Roisin tried for the tournament while testing some strange new tech. Episode three begins now. Yeah. So not every episode has a race, but... An Echo. Echo. Hmph. Tough crowd. The Echo is the most advanced technology the world has ever seen. Sa... Siddhod. Worth a hundred billion? That's the one thing in the writer's room where you're out there. It's like, what if he did like a hundred million? I feel like that's still, like, a lot of money. This test and you'll be a part of Mr. A's tournament.

19:21Wait. You mean we're not part of it now? But you already messed with our cars. Mr. A is highly... Social Destruction Chats is less... I was playing tournament earlier. And there are secret routes to take. Found two and didn't realize the game had any... Oh! I didn't realize that until I was pretty far in. And I was like, wait a second, what's this? And I found a secret route through a track? They're hard to get to, though. They can, like, jump through the little, like, cave entrance and... Yeah. But, like, you had to, like, no exact... Like, you're talking on the beach level? Yeah. Did I remember that? Oh. But it's like... The shortcuts are so, like, hidden... That you would have to, like, know the track, know the track. And be able to be like, oh, I know it's coming up. I'm a drift real hard right into this thing. And is the drift adding a boost? No. Like, no. Okay, so we're not getting, like, a Mario Kart kind of... Oh, I see your saying, uh, no. You're not really. Okay. Maybe, well, you know, I said every character has their own abilities. I know some... There are... There's at least a couple of characters.

20:21Maybe one character that has... Has it so that when they drift... They gain meter in some form? Mm-hmm, okay. But it's more... It's more so... They're not teaching you to shift yet, but when you shift... That'll... That'll give you the boost. I want to get so good at drifting. It's just... It's gonna take a while. It's gonna take a while, Chad. Yeah. Yeah. Be patient with yourself. Oh. How does this soundtrack for the rest for the whole game? Because this... This track's rocking. Yeah, this track's rocking. I think the soundtrack is overall... Great. Not my favorite racing game soundtrack, but I honestly think the only thing they could do to really bring it up Would be to have vocal tracks. Okay. Because I associate my favorite racing games with having like... Like, D&B with a... Kind of a woman over with a lot of reverb. Yeah. Or like... I think I realized, too, that um... It's like... The way we license soundtrack is just changing a lot. Yeah.

21:21Because I'm thinking of burnout, where it's like... They had my chemical romance in burnout. Like they had like a lazy generation being the main theme. And when I'm playing a game like this, I almost like expect there to be some sort of like... You know... Yeah, a vocal track or pop punk or whatever it is. Um... That said, for like having just purely instrumental tracks, it's a strong thumbs up for me. Because... When I think of like racing game, I don't know why my mind... Especially racing game, like, looks that looks like this and presents itself in this way. Yeah. My mind immediately goes to that one track in Luminous... Luminous... Yeah, in Luminous, right? Yeah, in Luminous, right? Um... The... With the woman singing on it. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I forget exactly what that song was. Did I? No, okay. That's it. Sayain! Oh, now you see. What are the lyrics in that song chat, I need you. I can only hear the touches record.

22:22Oh, that's a cute car. I think they all have like their own unique cars, I love it. What? Holy shit! That's the echo right there. Damn. That's what the echo does. Okay. That's kind of a fucked up thing to do though. Yeah. To blow up your dog. To show that he can regenerate. I mean, that's kind of the dream to have a dog that I can't die of. I told you. The echo is the most... I'm totally sorry, I suffered. Yeah, it's like, please kill me. I'm a thousand years old. I can't keep doing this. My legs don't work. My insides are ancient. I can't swallow food anymore. That's... Yeah, that's probably the song peak. Yeah, the... I'm trying to think of the lyrics that's killing me though. Oh, Mr. A's calling.

23:22Fascinating. Oh, her name is Roy Shin. I thought his name was Roy Shin. It's all day, place hell with my back. That reminds me. The echo is not to leave the premises of the tournament. I have an echo locator that tracks all echoes within a certain range. If an echo leaves that range, it will self-destruct. And neither car nor driver will come back for that explosion. Daenerysen says, was great meeting you, Andy. On Saturday, at the Woolm Show, did you ever find him? I did find Tamp, yeah. I didn't find him. I needed... What I needed him for, great meeting you by the way, Bander. I needed him to buy me alcohol. Oh, yeah. And the line was real long, and I needed him to like...

24:24Can you do that for me? Yeah, help me out, please. Help me out, man. I'm too sober on this day. Every human has a universal language translator installed in that temple. I just modified mine to translate human and dog languages. Now, before you go, I need just one more thing. Your team name. Sure. It's the ban. Reapers. The... Green. Reapers. The green... Like green. Yeah. Is it fuck? You know, no, I agree. The dumbest facking name I've ever heard is what it is. Oh, I don't know. I remember one team called the Wheel Winners. That was worse, maybe. When you said the first team name was Green Reapers, I thought we were going to go with legends of the hidden temple. The purple penguins, the orange iguanas, or whatever.

25:25No. And then, so when you started naming the other names, they're like, oh, that's way cooler. Yeah. I love that there's not like a theme thing. No, no. That's sick as hell. Just go through those top crew. Um... Always forget their name. The Jupiter Stormers? No, that's the scientist. That's a great name. The Jupiter Stormers, right? It's so cool. Um... The K-pop crew is also... They have a cool name. And that's just the name of their group. Like, they're not... That's like neither of their racing team names. She never wants to see me again. Well, that's easy for you to say. That's the... That's bad ass. That's them. No. This is the Jupiter Stormers. Okay. Sick ass suits. Right. I just want like a headpiece that has those cool, like, kind of, anime. Like, it's part of me. I need it to, like, live, you know? It's damn... Because that dude has, like, cool little headpiece. Levinele, one of my favorite characters. Levinele, one of my favorite characters. Levinele, one of my favorite characters. Levinele, one of my favorite characters. I've seen your movies to maximize the efficiency of the race

26:27between the camera and the camera and the entrance door. And I've followed the diagnostic of the J.E.S.A. in action. Is she Brazilian? Is this Portuguese? I can't say that. You know, I never figured it out. I think you're right. I don't know. Oh, maybe Italian. Maybe Italian. I'm saying Italian. I've never seen Italian. I've never seen Italian. I've never seen Italian. Look at Nic and here. Nic can find out... God, I love the look. So, Paul. Yeah, right. Also, you know what? I'm giving two thumbs up to the soundtrack. Now I'm hearing these songs again. Now I'm actually paying attention to it. Aw man. Come on, come on, come on. I just got a quit drifting and just drive. I'm trying to drift too much. Yeah. You're not into drift everything. Yeah, I just got, I just got to, I just got to drive, can't.

27:29Maybe he'll a little break here and there. Yeah. After this episode, I think that's when we'll switch up. Let me hop into arcade mode over on my save file. Yeah, that sounds great. Oh. I do like kind of, like just hitting that moment where you know, all right, let off the gas drift a little bit. Like, I just feels great. Yeah. And the controls do awesome. Man, I had a race where it all just clicks, get together where I'm like, oh, okay, this is how I turn perfectly. Like, I'm turning without you, I'm turning hard corners without even hitting the wall or whatever. Yeah, I do this head piece. I want one of those. But I can never be able to take it off. Yeah. It's a little shit from my head. Fold it to your head. Hold your horse power. I'm coming.

28:35I always just got the chest out. Always. What will be our kind of funny, racing team name? He made it. Maybe like the, you always did catch it close. Like the, it's a huge change. Dinner box or like, like what's the pizza dinner box? Yeah, well, what, what do they call that big ass meal that has like all the different, like all size of the dessert and the bread. Oh, we talked about, what's the call? The, I feel like it best encompasses us, you know? I mean, it does have the box, the, a lot of different meals. The family, whatever the hell. Yeah. Somebody in the couple get it. What makes, um, blonde lady your favorite? He has really good dynamics with some of the other characters on the other teams.

29:35And like, there's like a specific storyline with her and other character. That's just like, very wholesome. And away where I was like, this is, this is nice. It's hard to say without spoiling, but yeah. Yeah. Wanna call the hop-ups? No, that's definitely not bad. And when you had contact her, how do you expect her to be like your ex-husband? Like, oh yeah, Gregor. Aisha, mind to do vast their heads to cuff by Jupiter storm, our industries. Weedish. He's Swedish. Blood and toxin. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. I'm not a player. more. Big dinner box is that it maybe. Oh, I think it is the big dinner box. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's our name. That's our recent name. I'm so bad with languages. There goes German, okay, shit.

30:46That's portal to present. JSI has hundreds of ironic prosthetic devices that went through rigorous testing. Many of them by me models that give you god-like strength or cook an egg in the palm of your hand. Even from here, I can tell that those contain enough energy to power a small city. More blow it up. They just all speak different languages and are somehow translated. Yeah. In the future, everybody knows that, Jack. You just like, you just have different, everybody's got the mint plants, you know. Yeah. It's like the tiktok as I get where we're like, if you ever see these, where people will have a year buzz on and then like, if they're in another country, people speak Japanese, but like they'll hear it in English. That's so cool. That knowledge is crazy. That's the future. Including those arms. I don't understand that language. Or I don't recognize that language, I don't understand. You understand that? Obviously.

31:54I will say playing Tekken, the latest one, has prepped me for this, because in that game, they also all speak different languages. And it kind of bugged me then, but then I was just like, whatever. I love that shit. I love how in Overwatch, the enemy's old lines are their native languages, but teammates are your English language. Oh, that's good. I love that they do that. Lavinia Ricci Antinori, new character. So new character, meaning new character unlocked, or just like, hey, we're introducing you. Now you're going to be here for the next however many episodes. New character unlocked for like arcade and other modes. Yeah. So like, every episode, they'll switch it up to some extent. You'll return many times to playing the same characters, but there's not really a consistent, all right, this is Lavinia's thing, this is this thing. It's all pretty much like whatever we need you to play as for this episode, it's cool to have you to play as. Cool. Well, we're going to hit an ad break right here,

32:54bless. And then when we come back, you're going to show off some of what the arcade mode is, different challenge modes. Different challenge modes will happen to other parts of the game.

So we're on my save and I wanted to do this on my save because I have just way more things unlocked. If you go to the arcade mode on the other save that we just did, it would look like a ghost town. Pretty bare in you. It would look very bare in in a way that's not fun but I can show you the full character select screen and stuff like that here. So yeah let's. And I like the main menu even. This is the main menu. Of course the tournament is the mode that we were just doing but they got multiplayer which if you go in there they have, oh I should have brought this up on the review. They have full player split screen. Oh wow. Which is something you never see. Now it is but then you also have online. I didn't get to play much online obviously because it was the review period and like I don't think streamer was a is a popular enough game to have like a million reviewers and so anytime I try to check online I just couldn't match up with anybody. I played one online match last night with like two other players and I think one of them was a developer. Okay. So now the game's on early access and we hop into that but you have Gage's workshop as well which is what I'm talking

37:11about for like the customization. Yeah so each of these keys I love that it's the keys belong to a different character. Oh cool. Each row is a different team as you can see. But like if let's say it's got a Roichens part here. Yeah you can see like the lock things so you have to unlock different. Oh this rock. But yeah you can this is have all these different customizations. And you get like based on what I saw earlier with like you unlocked a new color for the re-review mirrors. Yeah you can get that granular with it. I believe so let's see here. Oh absolutely you have to buy it because that's one thing I didn't figure out during the review. I went into this menu to like mess around a little bit but I didn't get that far beyond like looking at the preset ones. When you get down to customization path they have like the cart symbols on there. Uh-huh. So I wonder if that's a thing you have to just then like what happens if you hit X in there? Nothing. Oh nothing okay got you. Yeah it just

38:11makes that sound effect. So yeah I wasn't able to figure that part out part of it out. Which of your favorite car to use? Favorite car to use is a good question. Oh I love that their team is it just cards like yeah access cards that's fun. Cool. I fucked with these guys over here. Gabriel's car actually I thought was pretty fun to use. That looks like a Porsche. Yeah. Or like a Batmobile almost too. And honestly like Hiroshi's car is sick. Just for like I like the extra boost that you get. So let me hop over to the yeah because you mentioned that some of the teams they have the different perk. Yes. Oh it's not just character by character but it's like this team has a perk. No it's character by character but you have the regular free for all races. I meant to bring up the team race during the review but I'll bring it up now right. So team races are basically your racing as a team. You can do duos or you can do trios because every team has three people.

39:16Team races are determined both by placement and also how many other teams you blow up like you you take out. And then like an accumulation of points at the end is what we have to most points wins the team race. So I'm going to do it because I think duos are manageable. But yeah. They have the characters grouped up by their teams right and so you have like again uh oh yeah that's right so you have the Kagawa Kai here which are the criminals you have green reapers here you have an iconic orb you have strike force Ramanda and then you know over here you have Jupiter stormers. Let's hop into I've got this. How long do some of the races get? Are there ones where it's like five laps or you know yeah you'll have uh two lap races three lap races and then some five lap races. Okay yeah we should be like this. Hop into the grade meaning on the left side is that meaning that you've completed that with the next grade or is it saying this is a harder map. I think it means you

40:17can participate. I completed it with an S grade but I was never actually able to like figure that out. Yeah this music rocks that I fucking love this soundtrack. Sick right those visuals look so good. It's certainly got the visual sauce man like they it has it a very good visual personality and identity and the entropy gauges on the pop right? Pop right yeah okay. So you'll see here right now I have like one of my boostings filled up now if I wanted to I can use the boost by holding L1. I can also use shield by tapping our women and then once I use boost you'll see it there there it is the entropy starts to fill once I get two of those in there I can then use the sprocket ability to try to take somebody out. And what does the shield look like is it just like a bubble shield or is it like it looks like I don't know

41:20like electricity is flowing through the car. Yeah there's I missed it but though the L1 you saw pop up with the extra boosts I hit that. I like that challenge of the quick sort of response the quick reaction time yeah you need to hit that quickly. Yeah because it's on top of like me hitting that triangle right there because I hit that one so I get an extra one and then yeah I hit that L1 right there is like a nice little QTE. It makes sense and I'll have traffic over here. Yeah there's not a wall green so we're driving by. Yeah that was the thing is early on when they said illegal street races I was like oh okay so like we're gonna be doing this on public roads and then it's like no we have secluded areas which now now that I've like finished store I'm like okay I get it like evil mega rich people like okay cool you have the money to afford to take us elsewhere for your old evil races. Is there a hint at year this is in I think this is

42:25big future okay yeah. Damn so you got you got flat. I got flat right Gabriel right there yeah. I could see where some of the frustration would be oh man you were right in front of me and now I just hit a wall you know. I like see the car parts in the street there. All right line up a big strike I want to see a big ass strike right here. Yeah see those are really hard to line up there are you gotta like be looking out for the straight ways and stuff. Yeah you gotta be like drafting off of somebody and then be there for a second like let's see if I can get one on you to go here. There we go and then I think that that'll automatically give me an extra boost to use to fill up those gauges.

43:27Great visual effects things explosion yeah. If it were up to you if you were able to wave the magical game development one from the magical game development wizard what would you change what would you like to see less of or would you like to see more of the good question more of honestly I would like to see strikes like keep the mechanic because I think there's there's vision there I like the idea but I want to be able to strike people from the sides instead of just from the back. Okay like if I'll go all the way I'd be like just make it like burnout to where I am like straight up like hitting somebody against the wall and like you can see they react to that knowledge it right but at the very least even if it is like all right you can strike in the back or if you hold another button or something you know you're striking the side got it shipped over. So there's there's that I mean honestly like I mentioned during the review I like the story. That's a good quality drift. Oh I missed the

44:32strike. Damn it. So that guy's an overdrive by the way so he's gonna keep going until he hits the wall or something or he'll run that over that and that's his perk. No so overdrive most characters have that that's basically if you let your strike your entropy meter fill up 100% you can press L3 and R3 to go into overdrive mode and that'll just like endlessly like have you going faster if you hit any other car they'll get taken out it's like I'm longer more consistent strike. Yeah I could see a credence of a great point surprise side tracks on a thing with all this drifting. Yeah I could see like a tail. Yeah like a pool. Yeah using your drift to kind of the the positioning to strike somebody. Also I love UI. I don't know if UI of this game is so good. That's so so cool. Gabrielle midden. Gabrielle. Oh so Mr. A's got that mask. Yeah. You can't even name Mr. A with a mask like that. Like Mr. A needs to be more of the dark shadow

45:37we do in this suit. If you have a mask like that your name has to be Viper or something. You can also do a custom experience where they're like you like get into the Duffy of what the rules are. Oh okay and so you want to control the like the amount of people playing in a squad of players. Number of laps. Dude then the laps will go all the way to I think 99. If you really if you really wanted to go for it you could do a long ask my god. They not allow for duplicates like change number of competitors. Deactivate like. Oh need okay. This is kind of like the customization of of um it's like super battle golf. Oh yeah you could go into there and be like you know turn off this item turn off these items whatever the hell. Exactly. Yeah that's just the race or that's the team race mode. They also have a score challenge. A overdrive challenge. A overdrive challenge I'm not done. I think that's just how long can you stay in overdrive if I remember correctly. Oh cool and people online are popping up. I didn't realize you did that.

46:42Yeah the guy with the mask shot out like the first time I saw him was like oh he looks like they do from from Gundam. That's the first thing I thought. Score challenge is like another thing um I think it's just like a series of races like you buy yourself in this or you do you have NPCs you're fighting again. You have NPCs of hell yeah. Yeah let's see one of these. I'll pick the short one. seemingly you can unlock shit here too like if I didn't have all the characters I can unlock some of them through this mode if I wanted to. Let's go. Who do you want me to pick aside from the bottom row? I'm not gonna pick the bottom row because that's like you will lock those characters at the end but out of the three and five teams who you're feeling. I love the visuals of this squad. Oh yeah the two first stormers yeah. So whoever you want there. See perfect boost is powerful but the timer required to activate changes. The first time Aisha is KO to explode automatically activates an emergency shield and then you can evolve the echo system by using sick boost strike in overdrive or more powerful.

47:44Okay go Aisha. Let me go Aisha. Wait no that's a fuck. That's a linear. There you go. Yeah system down. Come on let's see something. I like I like this a force 13 area. It's all like outdoorsy, forcedy kind of tracks. I don't know the handling looks kind of bad. I disagree. I think it feels great. It's more of I'm really really bad at I wanted to get really good at the drifts immediately and it's gonna take some doing. Yeah I mean I I think I felt similar when I first started playing as far as the handling but I got used to it and now I love it. Yeah I think it feels really good. So there's some massive fucking cannons on the back of this car.

48:59It looks like a shuttle. Holy shit. I mean it is a picture of it. Yeah I think I always hit a boost if I can at the end of a turn. Yeah of course. Yeah the best. Slow down and then immediately spin back up. Best feeling. The car is about to launch. Is there a Mario Kart style race start boost? Yeah there is actually you'll see it at the start of the race toward the bottom left an L1 comp will follow. And our most of the things quick time event those based like fan like timing based like when it comes to what the strike is what the start is. Oh yeah well the boost is definitely like quick timing with like the meter coming in and for um oh not Aisha but for Lovina the triangles in a different spot each time like for most characters is right at the center. Now the different teams and the different characters. Yeah

50:04they obviously all have their own different special abilities. Are all of the cars gonna also be different works like this one weighs heavier this one turns better this is a better acceleration. I don't they I couldn't find where they like tell you. Yeah right. I couldn't find where they tell you any of the stats but for sure they control differently like I can feel it in the drive. Yeah it might be one of those things that you have to like in Mario Kart hit the button to then bring up the yeah. Yeah they for sure handle differently. Oh I'm not playing child. Oh um blesses play. Oh sorry yeah I have controller. That's why he's barely hitting the walls. For me I'll be hitting the walls on top. Are you able to enable car damage i.e. from crashing into walls that's a little bit. Um there's a little bit of car damage but it never gets too crazy but like as you saw with um when some of those explosions happen in the last race you can see like the like parts of the car on the ground and shit but oh if I can just get to which

51:13we call it to overdrive. They're like so close. Damn. Oh so close the first place. Do this track is fucking crazy. Yeah I love this. One more way. How close to out of the race is almost done I think. What a five lap ceremony. We're rolling on. Oh shit okay. I always thought I was going up. He's definitely hitting overdrive. Here we go. There we go. To pop up. Yeah. I mean I need to line it up. There you go. It's also very sensitive to where if I hit a wall I'm over like I'm I'm exploding. Okay it was about to burn out real quick.

52:20Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Let's check. Let's check it's fucking off. Yeah. Yeah you want to take it back. It's soundtrack is incredible. Nothing like a racing game with drum and bass like it's just it's it's my favorite tandem of thing. Oh yeah. Like a skateboarding game I need either fresh fast punk or hip hop in a racing game I need drum and bass. I just hit rocks. Ghost image has house car audio. I like it. I'm not the biggest like car person like if we're talking about like the details how cars should sound or sound another car should sound all that shit but um I like how it sounds when it's like oh I got a shift like I'm I've hit

53:26I don't I don't know I don't know the terms but I've hit max capacity on like whatever gear I'm on like I need to shift. I think that sound when it kicks in is like such a good like it's such a good sound and it feels satisfying. It feels satisfying especially when I then hit the gear shift. Damn this first place racer is nuts. Yeah he's fucking gone. Where the hell are they? There's not like I'm in Walgreens. Yeah. There's just gone gone. I wouldn't surprise you if like the announcer is like actually first place crash a long time ago we never updated him. Are there any other camera views? Ask Captain Awesome. Yes. I have done some races in first person. I'm so bad at first person racing. It's easily my least favorite. Yeah. I all game. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh no! Oh my god. Damn it. No. I played the first person. God damn. That's the first person though. We distracted him. Yeah I did a couple races in first person because I wanted to see what it would be like with the

54:28drifting and it feels good. Okay. Awesome. Well is there anything else you'd like to show off us before we say goodbye? Ooh. Maybe give me like a another city-ish map. No they say okay I got it. Yeah. Now while do we want to try an online race? Yeah. We want one online race. Yeah. We want to race against other people. See what we should do. We should have done. If I thought ahead bring in another controller just do split screen. We'll see who's online. Yeah it's really easy to do. I mean do we do online or do we want to get another. I want to see play against other people like I want to collectively root against somebody. I want us to talk shit about whoever's online. If we're able to find a game. Yeah hopefully we're able to find. I think only early access right? Yeah but I mean it's if it's the you know you play early access to the special edition or whatever like that's more so than the amount of people reviewing and all they're able to find a race so it looks like we're yeah look at I mean something's happened. Something's going on.

55:36Okay so this is what I saw last night where I saw that logo and I'm like is that a developer? Because that's the company logo for milestone. Oh it's gotta be. Yeah. We might be going one-on-one with a death. It's gotta be. You got a dominator. You got lock-in. Did the characters feel different to play y'all singing? We mentioned it a little bit earlier. Yeah they do. And blesses playing on PlayStation. And we'll say the one I played against a developer in another player last night. Oh fuck. Waffle on the run. Oh shit. All right. It's me, Waffle and Fortes. Yeah exactly. If you win it's a dead if you lose Render's Brody. All right we're going with the dog. I like it. It's showtime. And they the dog pops. The dog barks. But they understand his language.

56:39I never thought about it. I don't think so. I think only I think only his owner understands him. Only Gage understands the dog. God shit. Fuck this song box. I gotta ask the questions. Get junior. I gotta. I gotta ask. You gotta you know figure out what's going on with this dog. Because the rest of the game is people speaking different languages and understanding each other. That's a good question. But if dogs languages are dog language you know. All right if I go non-verbals because I'm locking in. I freaking love the look of this car. It is so cool. I love the boxy sort of vibe to it. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that drip. Wow. Around everybody.

57:59That's a good track. Come on. Come on. Come on. Let's go. Big booze. Yeah. Well it doesn't notify you when you're about to get. Yes. These things on screen. Yeah. Okay. The red shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the dog. The dogs boost and strike stuff last way longer. Oh. I like using them. Do walk while the runs in the first place. That's crazy. They're killing it. How are you? That could have been the game already. It's not even out yet. Oh nice. Oh close close to getting it down. Oh shit.

59:00Oh says bless bless makes a sick turn and takes a bunch of spots. Also bless. Lose those spots in normal turns. You know what that's fair. We excel at the hard stuff and really fuck up on the easiest things. Damn lot of exposure to the head. I think while from the runs like the dude in the last race who was just gone forever. Yeah. Pull up. They were at one point. They were visible and then they just became invisible. Oh see yeah. That would have been a cool side. Yeah. Oh shit. Oh man. It's all I come into it. Okay. I'm getting fucked up now. What up demon? What up spall? Oh. Oh man. Yeah. Now they're coming out. Now they're coming out. Now they're coming out. You're 14 plays. That's awesome. That's looking great. That's looking real bad.

1:00:12Does it show you on the mini map? If anybody's exploding I wonder. I'm looking to see if like you see like a maybe it's the purple actually on this mini map. No that purple's got to be someone who's taking the mini map. Go. Two more laps. All right. We got to lock in. Andy where do racing games drink on your videos game game skill list? So low. That would be a cool thing for us to like our stats. Yeah if we were to do like the that hexagonal map or even it's like even it's like octagonal like based on the genre. I was like I'm way up here for this but I'm way low for this you know. Yeah I've never been good at racing games but I always I always enjoyed them as a kid and then I kind of just like fell off of the genre. But a cool story like this or galaxy freaking what's it called? Uh, car works one hour's galaxies. Yeah. Galactic. Galactic. Galactic. Gracer. Yeah.

1:01:16Obviously galaxy. If there's a cool ass story there as well like that that very similar to fighting games. I need a really sick ass story to get in. Now that being said I have skipped a lot of the more recent fighting games with awesome stories just because of time tech in moral combat. I got to play this. I'd say probably the best at first person shooters in terms of my own personal skill or just like shooters in general. You don't think soul games? No. I have persistence with soul games. I mean I do first try a decent amount of stuff but like I also am super shit at some bosses so it's a mix back. We can start this trend. Like this feels like a social media show like in the 10 games against me. Yeah here's my octagonal skill. You just got to like make the path. Yeah. The thing I stuck at though is that I never used a shield. Like I see I see somebody coming

1:02:20and I just never use a shield. Because I'm always using a boost because the boost in the shield used the same meter. Yeah. Yeah so it's like slay this fire do I want to use an attack harder a shield card. Yeah exactly. Oh nice. Oh we're so lost. Do not get last place place. Do not get last place. Oh I will. I cannot get last place. I just want to finish the race honestly. Oh no. At least not last place. At least not last place. Because I think it was what 16 players in that. Not last place. Well blessed that's going to do it for us on this episode of Gamescast Place. This has been screamer. Again that blessing said a nine out of nine out of ten. I love the review. I love the video game. And he said it was like you know racing about eight out of ten but the story just really really hooked in. Yeah. Yeah. With awesome super likeable characters and one that I'm really so to try out.

1:03:22I was actually supposed to be the one playing but we ran out of time when it comes to like what we were setting up in here but I was slacking Greg during the Gamescast asking for a code. I was like oh no wait there is one for me. Yeah I had on the full time. I didn't realize it. Chad thank you so much for watching.
