New DLC First Look - Wallace and Gromit - Walkabout Mini Golf

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

“Proper wall plugs” That’s hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kellynew44]

😂was going to say the same!! 😂

[@gehrehmee]

Reminds me of Tom Scott's take on the subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3bJgWSFgLCtlbM

[@philologusU]

I agree completely. I love both the day and night courses. The detail and humor are wonderful, and are a fitting tribute to Wallace and Gromit. Congratulations to all involved. I hope that we see more collaborations like this in the not too distant future.

[@InnerPrincessVR]

Well said 👏

[@minners71]

You had me on "proper wall plugs" as an ex Brit living in NZ this is one thing I miss. To be honest any DLC released for this game is an instant buy. Thanks for all your videos on this amazing game.

[@Mr1234karlos]

When I played the course the other day with friends and his little Daughter, Plus being old enough to remember the good old Films , we had just the best time,, The detail in this course is just truly Amazing, A must have in the Mini Golf Course collection 🙂

[@jpholcomb1947]

It is so absolutely charming, the joy and fondness with which you speak about Wallace and Gromit

[@simonday9013]

Just played my first round. What a fantastic course.

[@JoshBowren]

Wow, this may be the best licensed DLC yet. I from Michigan, US and know very little about Wallace and Gromit (sad I know). I already can tell this will be my new favorite. Love all the pipes, obstacles and gameplay you showed.

[@ThinkGeorgeTait]

its a great course (also from Michigan)!

[@lukekingsland5851]

It's a tent pole of British Culture that I don't think gets exported very often! It's fairly universally loved, well worth a watch!

[@InnerPrincessVR]

Not sure if it’s the same where you are, but many of the films are available on streaming platforms, so well worth checking out. They’re such incredibly well made films

[@JoshBowren]

@@InnerPrincessVR I found it on streaming. It’s delightful and very fun to watch.

[@JoshBowren]

@@lukekingsland5851 found it on streaming. So fun to watch. Love it. Much catch up.

[@QuillTheGameCat]

It's Wallace and Gromit. That's why you should buy it.

[@WelshSossy]

Fantastic course and I'd say their most graphically impressive course to date.

[@francoislarose6108]

I just played my round of the easy and hard course. It is amazing and really funny! Great video as usual! I'm so glad they included the characters!

[@InnerPrincessVR]

It delivers on so many of my hopes for the course, and then completely goes beyond that

[@francoislarose6108]

@@InnerPrincessVR I completely agree! I live in Canada and have always been a fan of W&G and of course, Shaun the sheep!!! The game made me laugh so much. I can't wait to go exploring more!!

[@ThatAdamGuy]

What a lovely review! Absolutely convinced me to buy this dlc even though I haven’t yet caught up on the other WAG dlcs I bought :)

[@ellenmarrs1717]

Again, thank you very much for your review. Loaded it and loved it.

[@ChocoMG-uh5ij]

So very excited! I've been enamored with this duo since I saw A Grand Day Out with the bat wielding cooker! Such happiness and joy. I have great memories of watching (and rewatching) all the movies with my girls. 💜💜💜

[@RocksandJaws]

If you are having trouble downloading the new course, just update the game. I couldn’t figure it out, but it works now.

[@Blessman-rl6yj]

Grow up watching wallace and gromit when i was a kid instant buy for me. Tried out the regular course its fun and straight forward. not sure where its going to sit amongst the other courses but definitely worth every penny.

[@bonesjackson81]

Really well done course. I could go for more of these licensed courses. Especially liked the 18th hole. Now to play night course!

[@selahr.]

I adore W&G! Can’t wait to visit their world in VR

[@LorrainePoston]

Love this game!! As a fan of both Walkabout and W&G, I eagerly awaited this release. Sooo much fun (yarn balls!) and was surprised and thrilled to end up on the moon! ❤️🌕

[@kevinreiter5303]

As a fan of Walkabout, but someone who has never really gotten into Wallace and Gromit, this video made me want to dive into that world.

[@InnerPrincessVR]

That’s great to hear, I hope it gives you a fresh perspective and appreciation for it

[@Superhermit]

Excellent Video

[@InnerPrincessVR]

Thank you 😊

[@justradino]

As soon as I got the notification that it dropped I bought it 🤣

[@keithcooper9087]

Same here! Been checking the game as well as the Meta app since midnight last night & finally its here!!!!! Yippie!

[@kellynew44]

Same! I wanted to pre-order!! 🎉

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

Dropped 😂 No one drops DLC. IT GETS UPLOADED

[@maryrosesaunders]

Absolutely love this course! Especially as Aardman are based in my home city, Bristol!

[@LorrainePoston]

Love this game!! As a fan of both Walkabout and W&G, I eagerly awaited this 0:04 release. Sooo much fun (yarn balls!) and was surprised and thrilled to end up on the moon! ❤️🌕

[@andybailey97]

Can't wait to play it!

[@MatthiasKupsch]

this seems like such a labour of love - will definitely pick it up!

[@tonypezz]

This is awesome! 🤩 🎉🎉

[@lincoWye17]

The W&G courses are BRILLIANT!! Everything you'd have wanted them to be! Love all the details throughout andceven the moonshine on the houses on the hard course! The holes are a challenge (with mud, jam and paint to contend with) and I love the final hole being on the Moon. Even the gravity and movement of the ball on the Moon has been taken into account. Might Coconut and Aardman have created an absolute masterpiece 😁

[@MrBertbox]

Love this DLC

[@angelagriffith5457]

I bought it today and loved it!

[@InnerPrincessVR]

Awesome! Were you already a fan of Wallace and Gromit?

[@scorpie-gamez-046]

Brought it can't wait to play it, It might get me back into vr again

[@InnerPrincessVR]

🤞

[@Freeze151]

You've convinced me

[@maconmemories3085]

Will more content be coming to Walkabout? Is there a future DLC list?

[@ThedoctorJR]

Thanks 🙏!

[@dhartist]

I wish it was also made for non vr gamers, haven’t been able to upgrade to a headset console yet.

[@Tigerhawken]

I look forward to playing! I feel the holes don't have enough ingenuity behind them, chain reactions, Rube Goldberg machine type stuff. Maybe there is.

[@InnerPrincessVR]

Not really like that, but still some really neat little challenges, good tests of timing and shot choice

[@yannickcotten2854]

Been available past 6pm. I noticed the update started short before the notification of your video. I started to wonder if the course would be out today or if it was to be available in the w&g game instead.

[@Lndddz]

pico vr The tactile sensation of the handle decreased when hitting the ball, which was not as good as before the update

[@InnerPrincessVR]

I’ve heard the devs are aware of it and are working on the fix

[@janeneimgrund6211]

Playing my first round last night was my first experience with W&G. I'm disappointed that I'm not more familiar with it. Fun anyway! If someone could tell me about the hole in the kitchen, I'd be in your debt! No idea what to do with it!

[@InnerPrincessVR]

The contraption in the middle clicks as it rotates, and there are 4 pots around the kitchen you need to try to time it to aim for. Most are 2 clicks apart, except for one which it aims at 3 clicks after the previous. Spend a moment watching the head movements and where it aims, then line up your put, count the clicks until you’re ready to hit, then trust your shot

[@JRTStarlight]

Easter egg on the moon. Maybe the tallest, or maybe not, but near enough, and probably the skinniest spire (stalactite-like protrusion on the moon) there is a tiny, pinky fingernail sized face at the top of that spire. It looks kind of like a gnome. It's not a tiny skull, this time, but a face. It's roughly on the opposite side of the rocket from W&G's picnic, so look for the skinniest spire in that general direction. Happy hunting.

[@InnerPrincessVR]

There’s a bit of a tradition with placing things at the highest point in the course, have you found any of the objects on other courses?

[@JRTStarlight]

@@InnerPrincessVR Yes, that's primarily why I was looking at the stalagmite-like spires (sorry, I said stalactite-like before - even though they were neither since nothing like that is on the moon). The last I found was in the remastered Cheery Blossom out to Mt Fuji - a torii gate is out there, and on the tip of one end of the upper kasagi there is a little skull, just as there is one wearing a gondolier's hat on the highest tower in Venice. The full Skelton under the water on one of the fountains (hole 10, maybe) is more amazing, but a skeleton would likely be too dark for a Wallace & Gromit theme. Anyway, I love these Eater eggs.

[@sureaney386]

​@JRTStarlight - did you find the skeleton and skull in Around the World yet? 😃🎈

[@JRTStarlight]

@@sureaney386 Yes. In some luggage there are some bones, IIRC. But the most interesting two things are the full skeleton sitting in the chair hanging from the highest ballon. Fly on up there and have a look. IIRC, he had some binoculars and a briefcase. But wait - there's more - the second thing is on top of that ballon is a tiny skull. Fly all the way up there and have a look. It surprised me since it's easy to miss even when looking at it from more than a few feet away, so get right up there.

[@Besyl]

Quick draw! Damn, he's fast.

[@RocksandJaws]

I can’t find the game, where do you get it?

[@remydeboer9769]

I guess we live in a different region and have to wait a little longer

[@RocksandJaws]

@@remydeboer9769 I just updated the game, so maybe that’s what it needed.

[@JRTStarlight]

I actually flew to the moon, since hole 18 was in that general direction, thinking it might enlarge to the actual hole 18, but like most moons, it disappeared when I flew past it. 2D things are like that in these courses. Moons, stars, sun, etc. But on that side, I saw a circular hole in space? What the heck is that? I flew over to it, another bit of a trek, and once I flew past it, it vanished, too, like other 2D stuff. Fly back and see it from the moon side, but not from the 1-17 hole course side. I have never seen such a thing before in any mini golf course. What is it?

[@Fiveward]

I was also really curious where they were hiding hole 18 on the map. You can find it by flying a bit underground!

[@InnerPrincessVR]

It may be the shape that provides the background texture, but as the reply mentions you can find the moon if you look down…

[@JRTStarlight]

@@InnerPrincessVR I see anomalies I take to be open gaps or weird mathematical problems when viewed from places never intended to be inhabited. But the one in the W&G course looked exceptionally different - not just something that appeared (and moved when turning one's head) but was a stationary thing I could fly to. But I don't know what it was supposed to be. And yeah, fly down through the basement and keep going to find the hidden moon scapes deep underground.

[@Smithy225]

Who else had trouble finding lost ball number 17?

[@YoBrand15]

I havent played it and it looks good... but i really miss longer courses. Par 5s and par 6s and i want less par 2s. I miss the par 60s courses. Also, i want more creative courses with mechanics... like meowwolf and upside town. But they always make great courses. Edit: Now that ive played the easy course, its about the same as venice to me. Looks amazing and the level of detail and homage to the source material is incredible. The hole designs are good and well though out, theyre just not that fun to play in terms of challenge. I looked at the hard version and it does look more fun though

[@john2914]

Why you should buy it? What? Move along.

[@ibsn87]

I’m over spending extra money on map after map. Made me stop playing if I’m to be honest. I bought a phone, car, and other devices that get substantially better and free updates. This game and dev’s have become greedy.

[@InnerPrincessVR]

I wouldn’t say it’s greed at all, there is so much work that goes into these courses, and they’re available at such a low price. The base game has also had several free updates since launch, so you have 8x2 base courses and periodic updates without having to spend anything more

[@ibsn87]

@@InnerPrincessVR I get that a lot of work goes into these things. But by the economies of scale, I dare say the dev’s are doing quite ok. The game is successful in its own right, and will continue to be, especially as it’s had continual development, has exceedingly positive reviews and meta continues to sell headsets. It also is appropriate for 5 year olds - 60 year olds and has minimal motion sickness risk. I love the maps, I get that “lots of work” goes into them. But compare this to the work that goes into say a single scene in Call of duty/ any other pc game which has INFINITELY more textures, polygons, sound studios, physical motion tracking and actors + physics/ photogrammetry etc. By today’s standards, I’m not convinced that now they have the game engine up and running, they know what they are doing, pumping out a polygon map shouldn’t really be such a monumental task for a small team. I get it, they are a small studio(I know nothing other than that). I wouldn’t want to give away things for free. But at the same time, many hugely more complex games are being given away for free and then utilize micro-transactions. In this case you’re paying for both the game and each and every map. I’m surprised the base game isn’t free to play with the number of expansion’s available!! No it’s not on Xbox or play station (player numbers). No it doesn’t have the million plus player base. But I suspect they are doing pretty well on meta with 12,000+ reviews… I can’t see the data, so I can only speculate. All that aside, my opinion is mute other then. 7 people I play(ed) this with, have all stopped buying updates. And the enthusiasm to replay old maps is low at best…. So. There’s that. They are competing against some pretty good games that have substantially more repeatable play time and complexity. If they had given away W+G for free. I’m almost certain 7 people would have come back to play and re-invigorated the interest in the game, which could ultimately attract more players to buy the base game. But for literally everyone I know, it’s having the opposite effect. I would be curious to see the data from their end. I can’t imagine people are willing to hand over a substantial amount of money to unlock everything. I think We’re talking $100+ to unlock the game and all the maps now. The barrier to owning all the content is getting higher for new comers 😅 I dunno. I, and everyone I know has stopped playing it. So, I can speak all the crap I want. But that’s a fact 🤷🏼‍♂️ otherwise, this map looks sick... (I hope they are sponsoring your updates with these high quality videos!!!).
