So fun fact, I was watching a stream of someone playing rehydrated, and he came across a glitch where he teleported to Spongebob's house as Sandy, and was still Sandy when he got there. All the dialogue stayed the same so Spongebob's voice was coming out of Sandy's mouth when reading stuff. It was pretty funny.

From what I understand, the reason for the lack of new voices for Krabs and Mermaid Man was due to union rules. If they wanted to re voice one character, they had to re voice all the characters. Plus, the original VA's for Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy passed away, so the re voicing would lose the original voice for Barnacle Boy.

[@masterwolfgaming3436]

@Sam Lawson I know I am 8 months late, and your answer may have changed by now, but it's not actually Nick's fault that Clancy Brown (the voice actor for Mr. Krabs) wasn't in Rehydrated. For whatever reason they can't get him to voice act for the games, which by the way, is the reason the original Battle for Bikini Bottom didn't have him either. As for Mermaid Man, they probably could have pulled what you suggestion off, but maybe they decided to keep it at fear that it would otherwise be choppy? Or may they just didn't have enough time to come up with a better solution.

I was so excited for this game to come out when it got announced last year. You absolutely nailed the upsides and downsides I have for this game, so there no need to explain much of why I’m not getting BFBBR...yet. The game clearly needs more development time in the oven, until I believe it’s ready for my time and money. I mean heck, why can’t a choas physics engine, render the destructible environments when you break tikis, Duplicatotrons, and the lighthouse arena fight like the original could, that was my selling point in the original game growing up, and it’s one of the reasons I bought games like Red Faction Guerrilla; and to see that removed and only put on mainly the robots just irks me and again tells me that the game is not finished. All in all this game looks like so much potential and I know that eventually this game will truly light a candle to the original, but until then, I believe this specific quote from the game truly shows where experiencing my childhood once more lies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF6yn3yvaJ5sp80

They were consulting members of the community at each step, and it was speedrunners like Shift that directly consulted with the Devs and told them that they shouldn't change anything as it wouldn't be faithful to the original.

[@Momoko_Sweetie]

The little touches like the zoom on Mrs. Puff, Squidward yelling "HEY!" when you draw a moustache on his painting, those tiny details that gave the original so much life are just gone, but that's not even what I hate most. The physics are just off. Spongebob runs slower, spinning in the air barely stalls you any more, Sandy's rope swing has been completely ruined... The original had some of the best physics I've ever seen in a collectathon. Movement was tight, I never once died missing a platform unless it was my own fault. I have more hours in the original than in any other game, and I replay it frequently so I know the controls better than most. In Rehydrated, the platforms are sometimes spaced too far apart to make the jump without pinpoint accuracy. Reaching the trampoline tarp in the sand castle took me a few tries, and the sock gained from platforming across towels in goo lagoon took me so, so many attempts because there wasn't enough time to allow the platforms to move into place before I ran out and had to start over. The tilting platforms in Jellyfish Fields were nearly impossible to get across, and I had to mash the button to jump from the platform because Spongebob would stick to the platform while it reset to the neutral position. In the original you simply had to jump up to the top without standing for too long, but in Rehydrated I died multiple times because Spongebob would perform the jumping animation, but propel himself downward with the platform. The physics in the remake are abhorrent, and ruin the incredible fluidity of the original, making the entire experience a chore.

Thanks for the review, I’m playing the rehydrated myself and I do like the more lip sync movements and better animations, but I think some of the remodels are a bit weird, like I prefer the Patrick and sandy robot models from the first version than this one. I dunno they just don’t look right. The bosses are still fun for the most part, and it’s nice to see they fixed the sliding races by you just starting back from the beginning when you die rather than having to just finish the sliding halfway and take up the remainder of your time. But I am upset that they did not fully include the squidward robot fight, I thought that would have been cool and maybe it could have been where we played as squidward himself. I just wish they could have expanded more rather than just focusing on the graphics. They had the chance to do more with this game, but wanted to keep to the roots which I get, but even Spyro could do different things as well.

[@kenwalkensdeadchannelcanal2886]

Yeah same, they had so much opportunities while making the game but looks like they missed it.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

I have the Switch version and somehow managed to get myself out of bounds without really trying. Yeah, it's still a good game, but definitely rough around the edges. Framerate didn't bother me too much, though.

[@redfred004]

If they got Clancy Brown they would have had to redo all of the voice acting due to union laws, not just Mr. Krabs.

The lip sync might be because THQ Nordic added multiple language options for a more global audience and made 10 new dubs, so it was not matched to make it easier for more languages

Rehydrated: we are adding unused stuff like muscle bob, robo squidward, and Patrick’s dream Me: YAYYYY rehydrated: only in a repetitive boring multiplayer Me:FUUUUUU

[@PlushySquare]

Worst part is, if you go into the files the musclebob fight and Patrick's dream are in there, granted textureless and unfinished but they did start working on it then just didn't finish it.

[@Keeby219]

@@PlushySquare Nick prob forced them to add the cut content into multiplayer for whatever reason, the textureless left over files is just proof that the cut content was planned for single player early on.

[@BJsPool87]

Very spot on review, Ant! Yeah, I am very underwhelmed in this remaster. I loved the original so much despite a few flaws it had. Probably more than the Robo-Squidward boss fight, I was really looking forward to the cut phase Robo-Spongebob where you could play as Patrick. I haven't bought this game yet but I guess I'll have to buy it at some point.

[@redstar6179]

2 things 1. the reason why clancey brown does not voice mr krabs is because of legal reasons 2 the game is not crash or spyro its cheaper because of the rushed development plus i wish they remade revenge of the flying ducthman and the movie game those games needed it

[@V-Jes]

To be fair even spyro was rushed what is why Year of the dragon has less polish than the other 2 and why you had to download like half the game from physical discs because they didn't even have time to compress it that it would fit onto a Blue Ray disc.

[@Technonova323]

Well, the Crash and Spyro remakes had *3* games remade. This is just 1 game remade. That gives me the idea that BFBB Rehydrated is more expensive.

[@flavorfulsoups]

Tom The Fish Compare the sales numbers of BFBB to ANY of the Crash Bandicoot games. Spongebob may be a big franchise, but its games aren’t nearly as big.

[@V-Jes]

@Tom The Fish Yes they did, they actually fixed stuff and compressed the game later in an update from over 67 GB to 36 GB and made newer discs include the entire game when it can finally fit onto a Blue-ray disc while Crash 2 and 3 are lot more complicated than people give them credit to thanks to the new gameplay mechanics and such. You really seem to have no clue what you are talking about considering you even bring Game Freak for some reason when nobody is even talking about RPG's -_-'

[@redstar6179]

@Technonova the game is only £25 while crash and spryo are £35 (yes i live in the uk) while BFBBR is longer and has the ok multiplayer the crash and spyro have 3 games

[@FraserSouris]

Bruh. That meme is inaccurate and lazy

[@RaphielShiraha64]

@@FraserSouris that is a actual review ign made related to one of the sonic games

[@FraserSouris]

@@RaphielShiraha64 Firstly, No. It was a review made for Pokemon OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire, not a Sonic Game. And Secondly, It was valid criticism in context. In IGN's review specfically, Too much water was referring to the number of water type pokemon. Since every other trainer is carrying a water type Poke, your team will be skewed a bit more to accounting for that rather being more mixed like In other games. You're more encouraged than ever to have electric and grass types now and discouraged from having rock, ground types. While their criticism was tame, I'd argue the issue is far greater. Hoeen may be half land and half water routes but the water routes do not contain half the content. The land routes have visually different terrain, different Pokemon, different layouts, different music etc. The water routes are bland, have very little to see or do on them (most of the interesting stuff they have requires Dive which is basically another Surf HM), and recycle the same set of Pokemon. I'm tired of fighting Pelipers and Tentacools and hearing the same surfing theme. There's a reason that past and later Pokemon games only had like small pockets of water and 1 water route. It's not fun enough to sustain so much time

I think it offers too little to be of worth to anyone who owns the original. It's a glorified port if anything.

FF7R was arguably a worse remake than Rehydrated. At least Rehydrated gave you the entire game and didn't ruin the story.

You can change all the languages on the fly without having to restart the game, so for that reason, I think there is no lip sync.

[@miimiiandco.8721]

Could they not have used lip sync for all the different languages?

[@Dr.Frasier_Crane]

miimii they could if they required a reboot for every language setting, which would make it difficult for everyone.

[@DrStxche]

It seems to me that the whole point was to just make a faithful recreation. No real gameplay changes, just smoother, better graphics, sounds, etc. Also...yeah those areas you mentioned to be frustrating....hundred percent true. I've actually NEVER beaten the mermalair ball challenge. Until rehydrated that is! So I'm pretty happy about that. And I'll have to agree that for the most part it's a great game. But certain redone mechanics, like Sandy's lasso are just...bad. I died way too many times when I shouldn't have. Still...the best money I've spent during quarantine. ;D

[@WaluigiYoshi44Productions]

I played the original a few weeks before the game got released some of there were some things I noticed or felt that bugged me while playing it. 1. The bungee jumping controls were worsened, they automatically have Spongebob go for it and played itself. I had a hard time at the Sea Needle because of it, it took me way longer to complete the mission than the original. 2. The jumping felt off. It felt like it wasn't reaching where it should. 3. The bubble bash didn't go as high. I felt like it just stopped in the middle of the attack 4. The ball rolling puzzle. I think they made the ball slower in the original (Though I was still able to beat it unlike that reviewer. Seriously not being able to put two and two together for that switch at the beginning is just pathetic and incompetent.)

[@ultima513.]

I hope they fix some things with updates and while i love the og i still think rehydrated is the better game. Good Video tho.

[@apotato3263]

[@garrettviewegh677]

I did notice Sandy’s lasso swing seems a little delayed. Probably the most annoying thing would be how long the loading screen takes when you die or fall to your death. It’s only about 6 seconds maybe, but it feels longer than that. These are however, minor nitpicks.

[@HypeVoiceActing]

I feel like this is a remake that's heart is in the right place, but it just couldn't capture what made the original good to begin with. As nice as the updated visuals are, I'm gonna contradict what Ant said and say that I think some of the cutscene animations are actually a bit more stiff and lifeless compared to how they were originally. It also kind of falls short because it just doesn't even try to fix the legitimate problems the original had like the obnoxious knockback or stuff like the Mermalair ball puzzle. I think something that really bothers me is that there's this barrier around the remake where apparently you're not allowed to criticize it regardless of how valid the critique is. I'm not even talking about the pro reviews people are bombarding on, but even smaller names like GameXPlain have been getting a lot of heat just because they had the gall to say the remake is kind of sloppy. It's like people just refuse to accept that it has problems and that people are allowed to be disappointed in it.

[@miimiiandco.8721]

I think the game has lost what was so special about the original - it was a genuinely decent Cartoon licensed game. Given that alot of the new stuff seems bad, and nearly none of the issues were fixed, this seems like a glorified port rather than a remaster. I can see the developers caring about the game, but Nickelodeon didn't, given that they rushed the game. Do you think that it could've ended up like Enter the Dragonfly if it didn't have BFBB to work off?

[@HypeVoiceActing]

That's hard to tell because to their credit, the base they're working on is still overall solid. They just gave it a bright new paint job but did nothing else.

[@lexxblep-groundzero1369]

the fun thing for me is that i played rehydrated not because i needed a remake but because i really wanted to play a game that was so influential on my childhood and be able to play it constantly. we are in an age where backwards playing is more and more common we can play games from generations before on newer consoles. we needed rehydrated so we could have it for this day in age, now rehydrated can live onto people who grew up with BFBB without having to get a ps2 and play it. i'm just hoping as the generations go on we get backwards play for all of our consoles rather than just backwards play for strickly the generaion right before, or only being able to play crew few games
