WHERE DID THIS GAME COME FROM?!! | Hi-fi Rush [1]

[@cdog-gd3df]

Fuck yeah Toonz! Potential GOTY candidate in this game, please for the love of all things do a full playthrough. Hi-Fi Rush deserves all the praise it gets!!

it looks super fun but spiderman 2 and jedi survivor come out this year

Scratch "Potential". To me this is the BOMB.

[@tanzyvat5834]

A lot of competition this year. Resident Evil 4, Atomic Heart, HI-FI Rush, Tears of the Kingdom, Pizza Tower and more.

Make sure to adjust the tempo calibration in settings to account for how long it takes for the audio to go from the game to your tv speakers, it makes the game run a heck of a lot better 👍

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

"Guitar wielding SOB slaying demons and stuff" Brütal Legend That's what you're referring to.

My thoughts exactly! Excellent game that needs a sequel or remaster

So glad to finally see you find this game. Watched some friends play about halfway, it is so much fun. I love rhythm games, and this has quickly become one of my favorites.

[@emmanuelcoutlee7283]

he should play BPM: Bullet Per Minute. Another good rhythm game but with gun.

[@nicovulkis1827]

@Emmanuel Coutlée BPM is fun, been a while since I played that. It would be pretty cool to see him play it someday, though I kinda doubt that will happen though.

CaRtOonz Given your description I belive the game you were talking about was BRUTAL LEGEND. The game starred Jack Black and had an obscene number of cameos from musicians.

Well, same for DMC5. Maybe these action games are just too hard for him.

[@MrSkme]

He said in the end that it wouldnt get more uploads if people didnt like, comment and view a lot.

[@MiniasPL]

I'm one of these people who launches Toonz gameplays mostly while focusing more on enjoying dinner after stressful day at work and I must say the audio here itself made everything around even 10x better. Thank you Mr Toonz for your content, always pleases me, every day and I always appreciate it. You made my day as always. Hoping for more similar stuff like this, or in the last stream. Very nice animations, very pleasing to watch.

[@rjgraylight]

Love this game, love that Toonz is enjoying it, not a fan of how he's missing a lot of stuff. I mean, I get he probably just doesn't see it, like that pathway at the end of the conveyor belt around 35:46 , but it's still a twinge everytime. Regardless, keep enjoying this wonderful game Toonz! I'm pretty sure that you're not missing anything too interesting or important in all these side paths and unbroken breakables! Otherwise they wouldn't be optional! :)

[@Kamon181]

He did mention it's super late, so I'm just glad he maintained his sense of rhythm .

[@gamerkingdom1442]

…… I’m honestly surprised it took Toonz this long to play this game. THIS ONE IS A BANGER!!!!

That rocked! Me and my kid watching this before bed time is a BLAST! please more my guy!

[@Trash_Cat21]

This must become a series. I need it.

[@NickAsNickName]

biggest tip i can give about this game. don't ever skip through dialogue. the dialogue and details and the immense amount of character in the game is too good to buttonmash through.

[@kaseymalec6194]

Not sure if this is my type of game but the art style is dope as hell! Definitely wanna see more of this one!

[@ClimaxChainsaw]

The combo is really fun is what most people said

[@LordReskiy]

I definitely need you to play more of this, it's got that comic book vibe and the story is interesting so far.

[@werebearsmith9352]

I was tapping my fingers to the beat for the whole video. Please continue making more Toonz

[@itisimichael7485]

YESSSSS ROCK ON 🤘 Best shadow drop and def nomination for GOTY! Almost done 100%-ing it! Only game I needed to finish with how great it captivated me with the art and combat

[@Derpinator01]

Fun Fact: There's a drum machine called the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, which was nicknamed the 808. The sound effects made by 808 in the game come from the 808 drums, which is a neat bonus for music nerds.

[@monroerobbins7551]

Duuude, this looks so sick! The art style, the movement, the expressionwork, the dialogue, it feels less like a game and more like a playable movie, I love this! The vibe is like, Persona meets Jet-Set Radio

I mean Akechi and Futaba's VAs voice Chai and Peppermint, while Kale is voiced by Sonic's VA

This game is a good interpretation of how I like to fight. Which has a small (giant) flaw of being easily read by an opponent, but it makes me feel like an action hero!

[@charlesboyer-my1bv]

The fighting style reminds me SO much of KH2, even throwing the guitar like a keyblade or the jumpi upward slash! Loving this game! Hope you’ll keep playing toonz!😁

[@WorldsTallestLeprechaun]

1:40 You’re referring to “Brutal Legend”; which is an AMAZING game, in my opinion. Basically, the main character for Brutal Legend is a roadie for a…”””Heavy Metal Band””” (it plays one of their songs during the opening cinematic, I recommend gouging out your eardrums out with a #2 pencil) who gets isekai’d into another world full of heavy metal references, demons, and LOTS of rockstars who leant their voices to the game. Lenny Kilmeister of Motorhead, Ozzy Osbourne, Lars Ulric, to name a few. Also, the main character is voiced by Jack Black, so that’s pretty sweet too.

[@Yami-no-Raiden]

Alright, gonna let my nerd out to help answer any questions you may have. 1) People didn't just not know about this game until it came out, nonono. Microsoft spent a good 15 minutes in their Direct introducing this game, dropping the premire trailer, discussed all the little bells and whistles about it, then ended it off with announcing it would come out THAT SAME DAY! The amount of BALLS they had to shadow drop this passion project of the studio's..! 2) Fighting games tend to be 1v1 vs., what you are thinking of is Character Action Games. A genre that had its birth from Devil May Cry. 3) The PS3/360 you are thinking about is *Brutal Legend,* a God of War esque beat em up Hack N' Slasher with some fun Zelda elements to it....only to then derail into a Tower Defense RTS because of someone in the development team. Jack Black did bring a lot of personality into that game.
