Let's Play Spelunky with the Developer! - NEW CHALLENGER

[@LucyPero]

FUCK HE DIED RIGHT WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO EXPLAIN THAT STRANGE MUSIC

[@tiguilherman]

Derek is a genius for making the game from scratch. Brilliant concept, brilliant execution, brilliant everything. But being the creator he quite honestly sucks at it lol.

[@mullucull3r]

I know hes terrible it like bothered me

[@p4trickb4tem4n]

He didn't make it from scratch. The first one was made using game maker and he had someone else do most of the programming for the second one.

[@sumflee4541]

@@p4trickb4tem4n he's still kind of the creator of this one, Andy Hull is kind of a co-creator, and this version is a remake of the game Maker version, there's hardly anything new besides some new areas.

[@QcChopper]

"Nobody can be good at this game, not even Yu" LMAO

[@tomasmm1839]

Just saying,if you're watdhing this from the reddit thread and you don't have the game i'd recomend it i've played 660H and i'm not done with it :D

[@LeapingLemonz]

^ I second this. Edit: Why in the hell are you people liking my comment? It's the stupidest fucking comment I've ever written. Jesus Christ, get a grip people. Fuck.

[@Rev3Games]

Derek is indeed an intresting guy who's done a lot of great stuff, and we'll be doing more with him in the future on Rev3Games that delves into that. This video was about answering questions that I got in comments on my review and introducing people to the game by showing how Derek plays it. Remember that not everyone is as entwined in that scene as you are. Judging by response so far, a lot of people found this video useful. :) -Anthony

[@Rev3Games]

Some people like them, some people don't. I've always preferred without, but I'm open to suggestions. What do the rest of you think? -Anthony

[@Rev3Games]

I got them at PAX East. They plan on making them widely available soon. Keep checking the Spelunky site for updates. -Anthony

[@MisterIkeJones]

i could watch Derek Yu play spelunky all day.

[@treasurechester9k]

"I feel good about your death" will be a part of every one of my interviews from this day forward. Whether or not I'm the one saying it is irrelevant...

[@Rev3Games]

Aw, thanks! Please share the video if you like it, it really helps! -Anthony

[@Rev3Games]

He was a blast! Fun to have in the studio, for sure. I definitely want to get him back for some other stuff! -Anthony

[@tunnelmansafro]

Derek Yu is actually not that good at Spelunky...

[@sumflee4541]

Stonks

[@Rev3Games]

He used to do a show called "Sundays With Sagat," where he dressed up like Sagat and did silly things. It was great. -Anthony

[@jajkub2001]

quickly saying - spelunky is all-in-one game. It contains all the best things - Lats enemies, secrets, unlockables, almanac, punishing, gods, favor, shitload of items

[@Pleaseunderstand]

Dang, looking back at Rev3games older stuff, ther newer content feels ratger rushed and bare bones in comparison.

[@redoutlander]

Awsome that Derek Yu was on. He is one of my favorite developers! I didn't know about the indy Scene untill I heard about his work with aquaria on tigsource. Now i'm only about 30 credits from a degree in computer science!

[@MazeOfGalious]

Great video, Anthony! Here I was, thinking about how cool would it be to have Derek on studio talking about the game (as we all know you're an indie game connoisseur, and you probably already knew Derek), and voila! Magic happened! :D I love how you're open to test different formats and ideas within your show! Keep the awesome work up!! PS - When will we see Jon reviewing one of your reviews?? Having the two of you back together, on camera, would rock! :)

[@rdm0108]

I'm here in 2018 to say that this game is astonishing. Absolutely brilliant. I have never enjoyed more being treated like a responsible adult.

[@sumflee4541]

What?

[@slinkadoo6292]

Spelunk y

[@Eirikasacredstones]

aww derek seems like such a sweet guy :)

[@zeldamasterX]

Amazing episode ! So great to see Derek plays the game...

[@raoulduke2924]

Whipping the arrow traps is a difficult skill. I only have roughly a 50% ratio of successfully hitting them.

[@ImmortalDestructor]

"Patience is key" while holding a key, oh the pun!

[@soundthetrumpetz]

"You should put some Kinect functionality into this game, and if you scream, it calls in a pack of wolves..." Actually...not the worst idea for a game I've ever heard...

[@Rev3Games]

Yes. Yes it does - Anthony

[@SUNNY-BB]

THIS NEEDS TO BE MORE OF A THING GET MORE DEVS TO PLAY THEIR GAMES ON YOUR SHOW PLZ!!!

[@Rev3Games]

I'm sure you're letting everyone know so they're sure to watch it and sign up and I get to keep doing my show. ;) -Anthony

[@torcado194]

yeah i play it all the time. what i would REALLY want is the pc version just with the new levels and secrets on the XBLA version.

[@Rev3Games]

I WANT THAT TOO DON'T WORRY

[@Rev3Games]

Right? It's a no-brainer. But I'll also say THIS: Spelunky on the Vita would be a perfect, perfect, perfect mobile experience. -Anthony

[@Rev3Games]

The first thing i noticed: I Rush too much. I need to take things much more slowly. -Anthony

[@Rev3Games]

Derek was a super good sport. And I think we all understand why I so desperately wanted him to fail, right? RIGHT? -Anthony

[@TheJacobBoykin]

This was such a good episode.

[@CrystalCassiopea]

I second that without a doubt. Spelunky is certainly successful enough to be something Sony would desire. They want to get their hands on any popular franchises to make up for Vita's 'rocky' release. btw I love these videos, you are by far my new favourite youtube director. Good luck to you man, keep these coming!

[@ChemicalShed]

Awesome game. So sweet getting to see the dev play his own game!

[@deliverypickle5889]

Man I miss this channel

[@Rev3Games]

But that is all part of the charm, my friend. -Anthony

[@whitefalken87]

Derek Yu is my new favorite developer. Ok well maybe not, but he's cracked the top 5 for sure.

[@TrueSoreThumb]

Aw man. Derek Yu is already the man. Seeing him pwn his game is also pretty awesome. :D Shame that little fluke ended the play... ah well! Great work! ... also: Praying for a steam release..

[@MazeOfGalious]

He knew it was there. There's always a pickaxe buried under the Snake Pit.

[@cruzdt]

That was epic to watch. I can't believe I just found out about this game now.

[@FinallyGotATubeName]

I always wants the music they play at the end of REv3 videos.

[@theONLYfudjud]

Throw a damsel at one of the sticky balls. Jump onto the sticky ball as well, then wait. I haven't seen this anywhere else online and thought it would be nice to share

[@torcado194]

I would LOVE this version on PC. PLEASE.

[@Rev3Games]

YES. I REGRET NOTHING. -Anthony

[@LaughPlayLive]

I like the game that much more now having seen the developer, seems like a great guy. Picking this up on Vita next week, can't wait!

[@swampertkamm85]

Hey Anthony, just wanted to let you know that I mentioned your review on Derek's AMA on Reddit.

[@TheMeloDet]

Please put this on PC as well, never really got into the original, but the improvements make me want to give it another try.

[@Rev3Games]

Answered already below. :)

[@jbro1806]

I love this episode. So Good

[@zebular]

Hell I thought it was supposed to be Meat Hook from Monkey Island... NOW THATS A SHIRT I WANT! With talking tattoo of course....

[@redbandicoot1009]

This video is 6 years old and I just noticed the black market in 2-2

[@Rev3Games]

Oh hey, that's right. Hi. -Anthony

[@ceppy3431]

did anyone else realize that he was hinting to the eggplant when he was talking about the secrets?

[@Mylesdude101]

Derek looks exactly how I imagined him...

[@TheSchnitzelCrew]

I'm starting to feel that the secret soundtrack isn't that rare cause i've had it 4 times, and 3 in ONE day

[@undeadnightorc]

Man, been playing the PC version religiously for 2 years. Wish there was a graphic update to get the same types of graphics as on the console version...

[@UniqueOneShot]

I like a mixup of both. Not all the time input, not all the time game. Mix them up 50/50 and I'm good to go.

[@Cradboradfy]

Yu seems like a very fun guy.

[@Javierm0n0]

I agree with WingedDrant, unless there is something extra special about the gameplay you just have to highlight while in discussion. You know either you or the dev is like "OH like this part it was so blah blah blah..." But they flow just fine as they are right now.

[@MegaZeroBlues]

Derek! Bring to this PC! I don't have an XBox!

[@TafTabTah]

I miss this channel 😢

[@OxP2]

They have to port it to the PC, test it on a variety of hardware and fix bugs resulting from that. The company is small and not rich so they can't buy every PC in the world. Also, some games have more bugs than others, specifically games like Spelunky, The Binding of Isaac, Minecraft, Sims 3, etc. where there is a variety of different combinations of items and lots of different conditions. When you make a game on consoles you test it on one piece of hardware, in this case, xbox 360...

[@hoosherdaddy]

Derek Yu is a cutie

[@phubans]

Whoa, Derek is wearing the same shirt that I'm wearing now. To be fair, I've been wearing it for the past 3 days though, so...

[@Rev3Games]

Oh, cool! Thanks a lot! - Anthony

[@leonelegender]

Actually if you observe the layout of the levels there is a lot of areas in the levels that have the layout identical , it is not 100% randomized, there is always certain challenges that give you certain ways to solve, so I think you should play the game before saying anything about it.

[@caramelzappa]

Great episode. I'm love/hating this game. So much masochistic fun. I would really love to see a Vita version though. As you said, it couldn't be a more perfect fit for mobile gaming. I thought it was really cool seeing the developer play the game, I hope you can get more devs on the show in the future.

[@Krondelo]

Me too! I would buy this on my Vita again. Which Im posting from.

[@nonidealending]

Fuck me I miss this channel

[@MrJoshyF]

this game looks like a lot of fun

[@HoloDrake]

The fact that the designer of this game dies just as easy as anyone else in the game makes me feel so much better about myself.

[@jhidalgo_]

4:00 that guy had a Xbox ONE with Spelunky back in 2012

[@ZootedInc]

Lol i was saying since the Beginning That some one was gonna hit those little Guy THings on his desk off

[@nil0bject]

Anthony, please review Gnomoria. gotta dig diggin games.

[@petegoast1]

Is that ol' Jan Holmes on your shirt Anthony? I don't understand the sunday reference. Please enlighten.

[@gabrielschwartz4286]

i saw that coming the spikes are the bane of every one o.O

[@TheJacobBoykin]

Awesome episode :D I wanna pick this game up now.

[@Nektonico]

o wow i just noticed the figurines on the desk are spelunky figurines

[@uncarvedexit]

Hes rockin new balances isnt he?

[@farmzombie]

I want those figures.

[@Rev3Games]

it's automatic. -Anthony

[@riverfile]

My name is Derek....also I love spelunky...I always use him as my skin for Minecraft Xbox 360 too :D

[@DoNotPerceiveMePlz]

Spelunky on XBLA is really fantastic but I think it would really prosper on a handheld system, mainly I'm thinking of the PS vita but beggars can't be choosers.

[@AzureDrive]

"They're Carboni spikes."

[@YossarianTheGhost]

You sold me on this game Anthony with the review and this funny trash-talk-fest.

[@UniqueOneShot]

Can somebody explain to me if the pickaxe he gets at 12:15 was randomly or he knew it was there? Cuz' I don't understand why he bombed that place.

[@SirGriswald]

Oh shit, where can I get those collectibles on your desk!?

[@Stemage]

I love the let's plays, but PLEASE START USING INSETS. I like seeing you and the game at the same time.

[@SirGriswald]

I looooove this game. I'd buy it for my Vita in an instant.

[@ShawnPattonC]

If you don't mind 16-bit graphics, the PC version is free.

[@RA8IDP3NGUIN1]

I can't upvote this enough. Why don't you have a bajillion viewers?

[@andrewhiser9965]

I didn't expect Derek to be so bad at Spelunky... At least based on this video there's absolutely no way he got some of the achievements that he created lol. Namely the win in under 8 minutes one and the get more than $500,000 in one run. That being said I love this game so no shade to him of course.

[@TheIcyBlade99]

Oh I get it, Derek Yu based the difficulty on the game of his own skill level

[@JeckeL007]

0:50 without pain there can be no pleasure.... true, I got so pissed off playing spelunky but it felt that much better to beat the entire game which took a good bit of time..... hell levels are crazy @_____@

[@Beelzebubster]

Man, I hope this comes to PSN so bad.

[@Ninngik]

since this show isn't about watching the game and more about the discussion of the game, I think cutaways are a much better option.

[@phtmyr]

Damn. Derek is awesome.

[@vicenteperez2136]

Spelunky made me want to punch somebody in the face so i got the developer so i could punch him in the face this made me laugh so much bc i felt the same way xD

[@Darryl-drok17]

Haha holy crap. Glad I'm not the only one who's dying!

[@Nektonico]

he had to sign a one year exclusivity contract with xbox (aka the devil, aka microsoft) to get it published; so he has one year to port it to other platforms basically
