Evil Genius 2 Preview | My First Hour as an Evil Mastermind - Part 1

[@EnterElysium]

Sorry about the stutter when moving, that's an issue with OBS hooking into DX12 (which EG2 is with no DX11 option) and I didn't have the code with enough time to check if that was an issue with the footage. Part 2 I'll use window cap and that should avoid the stutter.

[@Eric-1879]

Thanks for the preview, and I was concerned about performance. Glad to hear its just an OBS issue and not a game issue. Looking forward to the full release of this. I was a huge fan of the original.

[@LAJ-47FC9]

They actually brought the old composer back for the new soundtrack. That was honestly what won me over.

[@shacklock01]

That Evil genius 1 main title song hits me with bare nostalgia too, love it.

[@addictedfoolgamer1970]

Before Covid I was preparing a James Bond/ villains party and was going to use the main theme and whole EG soundtrack, to introduce fancy dress contestant villains

[@ErzengelDesLichtes]

"You have to research stair cases, you don't just get stair cases." Well that's going to be one of the first mods...

[@sserobinsse]

i would be surprise on the modding communities if that is one of the first mods and its not a "new" "henchman" mods :)

[@Tyrope]

It's actually really early in the tech tree, and since you can rebuild walls, I don't think it'll be *that* high up the priority of modding.

[@Petterwass]

Sorry, but the evil organization not understanding staircases is just too funny. I hope such a mod never exists

[@tobiacancelliere6972]

Definitely looks fun. And completely agree it's "evil laugh", not "evil laugh"

[@RandomVideoCommenterOME]

Yknow for some reason it never clicked in my head that this is a sequel, I am quite pumped.

[@apila4859]

Can't wait! I still remember the first game being one of the first I watched on YT

[@LordDeath321]

i extremely hope you make this a series

[@tra-shathikous2470]

Awesome! Would absolutely love a full or even mini series on this.

[@Davidletter3]

Algorithm pleasing comment. ALso, Actual comment: More Evil Genius when possible would be great.

[@Freakzooi]

Great to see this on the channel!

[@kazarofchult8086]

I’m so glad I watched this! I loved your play style

[@manicpixiedckgirl]

I always prefer to think of it as Yay, big! like we're celebrating the size of something.

[@TheMontablac]

Woah! Big!

[@Streaky100001]

"We could execute one to improve morale" Yes EE, I can see how watching you're friend be executed for no good reason would really bolster your morale, this makes sense! hahaha, I've always known EE was a true Evil Genius.

[@marley7868]

the beatings will continue until morale improves

[@davegames5044]

They could all just be masochists you know

[@Streaky100001]

@@davegames5044 .... this is true...... I hadn't considered that!

[@jacobbushell8585]

Super hope this becomes a full series on the channel

[@tebellot5275]

This game looks amazing! And it suits you perfectly.

[@TheAlaskaninja]

Loved the first game, I remember getting a demo disk from a pc gamer magazine I think, and I would play the demo all the time. Was finally able to convince my parents to buy it for me later on. Love your content and I hope you'll play more of this after it comes out!

[@mikkelnpetersen]

How I see it, the best strategy, would be to get valets ASAP and get the casino up and running, debuffing agents and earning money, then get guards to defend, then scientists and technicians.

[@blaringvoices2912]

I really hope you make this a series! It looks super cool!

[@theonemarlowe9117]

Very nice. I had been on the fence, this is helping me to convince myself.

[@NoremacEcallaw]

Laser, sharks and the moon, my kind of evil plan. Really looking forward to this game

[@stormyseawolf8574]

Can't wait to see what schemes you get up too when the game is released and you cam start a series

[@anotherpenguinsbeard]

Love this, praise to the algorithm

[@papersage69]

“They don’t ride share” how nefarious.

[@krejil]

Hope to see more of this soon!

[@kenneth8721]

nice i remember palying the first one.. really looking forward to the next video

[@swivelkeyring3512]

Saw call me Kevin video earlier, was interested but I checked the pc spec requirements on steam and realized I couldn't play it myself. Idk if his is gpong to be a gameplay series on your channel, but thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it.

[@Shiny_Infinity]

thanks for the look EE the game seems pretty neat

[@TheLoopyTiger]

EE, an evil genius. Who'd have thunk it?

[@totoabicyclette7100]

Maximillian is also the evil robot in the 80's movie The Black Hole.

[@HitakinoKage]

Didn't know this was a thing! Looking forward to a long play of it!

[@AvguardianGaming]

I hope to see a full series at some point!

[@lsswappedcessna]

Evil Genius is back? All I can say is "poggers."

[@Lord_Shmesh_The_Squishy]

TIL after 17 years --- that you can mod evil genius 1.

[@darrelllarue5877]

great game cant wait to see more of this

[@danielelkin995]

Dairy is the main export of NZ, not sure why that scheme is in AUS but they are in the same zone in game i guess.

[@pyromaniacal13]

24:12 That's Fantastic, and I need this game!!

[@BonesG36]

The forces of justice don't like crematoriums?

[@s.m.2523]

Well that does imply you are making corpses to burn now, ain it ? Most "forces of justice" tend to frown at murder (at least it's not them doing it), go figure.

[@silanae]

Looking forward to it, should be fun!

[@jakegrube9477]

holy shit i forgot about this guy, havent really watched you since your old KSP vids, good times those were lol

[@DemTacs]

But...But... Gold is just shinier yellow. Maximillion: " We're low on funds. Go rob a bank." Minion gets oil and towels. ;P

[@earnestbrown6524]

Love the first game. Can't wait for this.

[@longshotwolf]

Doing the liking and commenting thing for more evil genius 2.

[@hoabinh555]

Looks a lot like the first one, will be keeping my eye on this.

[@dunmermage]

This looks a fun one!

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

a shiny new lair for a shiny new evil genius

[@Zpajro]

A bit sad that all the comments from the premier is removed

[@CantiLudan1]

looks like the island from Incredibles movie.

[@BobBob-ui6ot]

This is actually intriguing.

[@genericperson8719]

All hail the mighty algorithm, praised be its infinite wisdom!

[@NeoArkansas]

Can’t wait for more.

[@DraculDraconis]

I do like the CONcept

[@Mandemon1990]

Maximillian is not based on Maximillian from the first game. He IS Maximillian from the first game!

[@eriviscale2]

Seems like a pretty fun game.

[@munztere6426]

Good gameplay and for the Almighty Algorithm

[@invisiblestoo]

Please sir, can we have some more. 😁

[@SpaceDogLaika]

Hey this was pretty nice

[@lorrygoth]

Liked and commented for a great video.

[@vex3488]

Dr. Doofenshmirtz Mod when?

[@Azollux]

This looks fun :D

[@jeroylenkins1745]

Staircases, how do they work?

[@lsansell13]

Really do wanna see more, at least till it comes out for the rest of us anyway, then I'll be enjoying it myself. Also is it bad but one of the mods I hope someone makes is bringing back the old minion building methods, without the do everything silly guns?

[@s.m.2523]

I mean I get why they put the guns, let's face it the old method of building could take a while and while it was part of gameplay, it's wasn't to everyone taste. It's clear that among the changse they made, they want, for better or worse, to speed and simplify some of the gameplay. Not necessarily fan of it (and i enjoyed the old animations of the minions carrying blocks of dynamites or those big green boxes) but I an understand the logic.

[@harbscantina]

Have to ask...did you get special early access to the game or do we all get it if we pre order the game?

[@VyseRogue13]

How about that day one DLC....lol.

[@TralliE]

INTERACTION

[@zioming]

After last year's great remake of theme hospital, now it's evil geniuses. And to think people still waste their time on playing Anthem.

[@charleswacker7166]

I appreciate how EE is able to deliver wonderfully pithy socio-political commentary while bringing excellent entertainment in games.

[@social3ngin33rin]

lol doesn't like lair because it's yellow, but wants gold

[@mdb45424]

day one season pass eehh

[@SilentPsychopath]

And? Day one season pass doesn't mean the dlc is ready and waiting and has just been cut out of the game. The developers have already said they can't give details on the dlc beyond the basics as they haven't made it yet.

[@mdb45424]

@@SilentPsychopath the info is on the store, basically a mini campgain, hench costumes, and a ne3 mastermind.

[@SilentPsychopath]

@@mdb45424 Like I said, the basic info. They know it's going to be a new mastermind, henchmen, etc, but they don't know what the characters will actually be like, their motivation, their designs, etc. Pretty sure this was said during one of their Q & A sessions. Edited: Yep, it was in this video, at about the 13.30 minute mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eovccq13pM2ie9k

[@degurkin]

I can not stomach the change in Artstyle. it's like what they did to XIII

[@CarlGorn]

It could well be that 17 years ago, your sense of humor was less sophisticated. Just a theory.

[@rcsox]

"... inherent flaws of capitalism." Evil maybe, genius not really, lol!

[@AlvorReal]

Hey, watch the jokes about politics. You play video games for a living, most of us are here for escapism.

[@EnterElysium]

A lot of people didn't get that luxury, so I won't stop ever reminding those of us who have that luxury about how others suffer because we can't be arsed to engage. I have no compulsion to provide a haven for ignorance, or worse, those who would nod along to those injustices but shirk when pointed out how they do.

[@EnterElysium]

In addition, the fact that I "play video games for a living" in no shape or for means I should or shouldn't have any political reference. Same as it doesn't mean I should or shouldn't make jokes.

[@jim1512221]

Escapism is not healthy. Seeking discourse and broadening your knowledge base on unpleasant realities is a much better/healthier avenue for dealing with the stressful aspects of the world. Elysium may play video games, but it’s his commentary that keeps most of us coming back for more.
