RTGame Streams: HI-FI RUSH [1]

[@epicureanbard]

"Please don't let it be robot spiders" said Dan and Chai in sync

[@anicrue]

It feels almost poetic that I found this game through Shenpai, consumed it and her vods of it, then she started working with Dan for the mini-me and some co-op games, and now here we are with Dan trying it out himself. Amazing game, can't wait to see RT both love and loath it!

[@probablynoctis7872]

I found Shenpai through this game. Watching for people who played it because I got extremely obsessed. Glad to see Dan tried it.

[@xman9354]

I found it through JFJ. He has 0 relation at all to rtgame

[@michaelstaggmick]

I found a bunch of people through this game, like Shenpai, RTgame, Antonio Redgrave, and BornLosers Gaming

[@dynomar11]

I found my sock

4:08:30 Oh no RT, the tempo is actually quite different between stages. It's just the flow is so well done that you don't even realize how different it can be at times.

when the game ends??

[@epicgamner1139]

this game might have genuinely been my game of 2023. It is so damn good and im beyond thrilled the studio was saved

[@hushronni8362]

OH LAWD HE PLAYING ANOTHER RHYTHM GAME Okay no but seriously I saw Shenpai play this and it looks amazing! I always find that Rhythm games are full of so much wit and charm whether they're short mini games or story based. Rhythm heaven, Wario ware, Rhythm Doctor, Fire and Ice, Parappa, No straight roads, just to name a few. They're all great!

[@NotLuke212]

Hi-Fi Rush deserves all the attention its getting from xbox shooting tango gameworks

[@characookie241]

It's me, the vivid/stasis person, contractually obligated to tell people about the existence of vivid/stasis whenever applicable.

[@uLWillyG]

@@NotLuke212 if only all that attention attributed to sales lmao, making good games just isnt enough if its a niche game

[@hushronni8362]

@@characookie241 Just looked it up; the art style is adorable on first impressions

[@AnubisFactsGames]

You said, “just to name a few,” but I would like to posit Crypt of the Necrodancer. It stands as my favorite rhythm game and top 5 on my list of all games.

[@GreatFernicus]

Me seeing this game in my feed: YES Me remembering how bad RT’s rhythm is: OH NO Hopefully Rhythm Doctor taught him enough Also I just remembered that Chai is voiced by Robbie Daymond, the same person who did Akechi in Persona 5 (he just has a knack for these disaster twink characters), and Peppermint is voiced by Erica Lindbeck, the voice of Futaba

[@deadboyo2773]

Thank you for the new term "disaster Twink" I will use it wisely

[@newgirlde]

This game was a massive success by any metric so it really was bs that Microsoft closed the studio. Good news is the studio was saved by another publisher!! So we will see a second High-Fi Rush at some point!

[@deadboyo2773]

Cant wait for Higher-Fi Rush

Aight, RT? RT. I *_NEED_* you to call Shen in for this one. At some point. Any point, really- look I just need to see you two being the real life Chai and Peppermint dynamic while those two are on screen.

[@justanothergamer64]

AGREED.

[@generallyunimportant]

zanzo isn't _just_ jojo HE ALSO QUOTED THE EXACT DELIVERY OF THE ENOUGH TALK LINE FROM SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT AT 2:55:40

[@generallyunimportant]

actual "person who has brainrot over that specific scene" behaviour......

[@Sailor-Khione]

I don't know much about JoJo, my friend is trying to tell and teach me about it. But that's cool.

[@generallyunimportant]

@@Sailor-Khione i know nearly nothing about jojo but i've seen so many memes about the show that it's impossible for me not to recognize a parody of it when i see it lmao

[@MillyKKitty]

Favourite part is RT accidentally skipping the lines where Smidge is flirty and then being completely oblivious to the "It gives me tingles" line 😂

[@limppancake481]

RT not understanding Zanzo's jojo moments

[@Franklin_Johanessan]

@@limppancake481 He didn't get the reference 😞

[@thahirshibu5042]

He did not underatand boi love until it was literally staring him in the face. Our boi is pretty clueless

[@mothtransman]

iirc he understood but was playing ignorant to not rile up chat lol

[@Gh0st.B0i]

I literally had to back it up during the meeting because I didn't realize that he was doing Jojo poses that honestly caught me really off guard but it was really funny

[@Glitchlis]

Brilliant timing this video is exactly what i needed because it's 4 am the new season of fortnite just dropped and i need something to keep me going😁.

[@CrimsoniteSP]

For someone without rhythm, he's actually more consistent than I, lol. I actually 100% this game and my average Just Timing is around 70%. And RT is pushing 80% in most of his fights so far. Granted, idk if he's going to be able to do the post game. It's rough.

[@FaelumbreProject]

The best part about the "drink some pepsi" bit is that the only drink Chai uses in the heal special is apple juice The other drinks in the vending machine ARE several flavors of death soda though, plus coffee

[@edolix59]

Oh wow, seriously??? Hi-Fi Rush and Yakuza 0 are the two games I've most wanted to watch RT play. It's not even my birthday this week.

[@HazeEmry]

LET'S GOOOO! Watched Shen play this a while back and she couldn't stop gushing about literally everything. PirateSoftware did a long play too. Let's see if Dan has retained his rhythm skills from over the years~

[@thahirshibu5042]

Hah, no.

[@Franklin_Johanessan]

Wicked game, sad the studio got shut down :(

[@iAmPimmiCue]

Microsoft let them get bought by the company that published PUGB

[@nicerhabara]

You're not up to date on that, the studio got bought by the publisher behind PUBG

[@Franklin_Johanessan]

@@nicerhabara so... can they make more games like hi fi rush? 🥺

[@JacksonJinn]

@@Franklin_Johanessan They explicitly have said they're looking to "expand the IP" and the VAs are chittering with joy looking to reprise.

[@delt-4462]

​@@Franklin_Johanessan yep! Theyre also trying to rehire everyone who got laid off :p

[@Zorgot.]

i don't normally bob my head to the music in games but this one i just automatically do, i just be jamming while playing lmao

[@jeienb]

this'll probably be buried, but if all yalls liked hi fi rush, feel free to also take a look at its seasian predecessor: no straight roads! it's also a rhythm-based platformer with an amazing look and stellar soundtrack. coincidentally, it's celebrating its 4 year anniversary in a few days!

[@Saltyorange11]

I have wanted Rt to play this for so long Shame he isn’t reading the notes though their pretty funny

[@beeftips1628]

I came for jojo and RT did not get a single reference, he was even confused why Zanzo was doing all that and I guess he didn’t see chat try to say something assuming they did.

I have good news

[@bknostudio]

YESSS I PRAYED FOR DAYS LIKE THESE THANK YOU RT

[@BrullenLive]

Ive watched three others play this now I get to see the mighty RT Games play it cant wait to see how the fights go for someone who cant hear the beat XD

[@0hpossum]

But for real, MASSIVE props to The Glass Pyramids for their work on the original songs. If you ever play the game for yourself, take a moment and play a books fight with steamer mode off and on. Hell, even just the opening. They do an AMAZING job mimicking the licensed songs, especially considering the variety of music. They do a spot on Black Keys, a very convincing Nine Inch Nails impression, TWICE(!) all while keeping the vibes, rhythm and mood of the original songs. Truly incredible, I love this game so fucking much

[@Vloggmus]

I have been waiting for him to play this since the game released, and it only took a year.

[@shinjutsu2773]

first twenty minutes conviunced me to get the game myself. Sadly it means i Can't watch the rest of this xd Thanks Dan!

[@0hpossum]

Just finished the game an hour ago, I’d been avoiding spoilers and I so badly wanted to give in and watch live. But Kale is a bastard and I’m so glad I finished the game myself before watching someone else enjoy it

[@NotLuke212]

One of my favorite games of all time

[@kymberleeeyy-]

the variety of games Dan plays makes me so happy

[@moritakaishida7963]

WOOHOO YEAH BOI

if there's a highlights video is it gonna be called Hi-Fi Rush Gives a Rhythmless Man Rhythm?

[@sillygoose2019]

1000000 from Nine Inch Nails is Boss 1. That's all I remember for licensed music

[@sillygoose2019]

Also the Deluxe Edition gives you a self-referencial t-shirt

[@FilmsYouHate]

you also have lonely boy by the black keys in the opening, and Invaders Must Die for the lunch room scene towards the end.

[@Gggly2513]

Got really excited that he was playing this for the nin song specifically then realized that he’d probly be playing the non licensed version on stream. Still a sick game though and I’m excited to watch this vod!

[@decoy1359]

@@Gggly2513lol exact same here, NIN is my favorite band so i was super hyped to see those songs but ended up disappointed

Knowing him? Most likely unfortunately…
