EDIT: Also Vinny Meatwad is NOT a chicken nugget, he is simply a meatball.

@@animeloveer97 I think it had Broodwich and three others. But it's been awhile and I have the series set of the pre-revival era of the show. So I haven't had the occasion (or incentive; read below) to go and replay the game. This is the kind of game that's fun playing through exactly once. Because after that, you aren't really going to want to replay the game just for the cutscenes. The gameplay itself is mediocre and not that great. It's really the cutscenes that sell it, and after you beat it once, you'll just go look up a playthrough of the game if you want to see the cutscenes again.

[@klonoafan2012]

The fact that ps2 games were still made up to 2013 surprises me

[@warbossgegguz679]

There are several reasons. First and foremost, most of them made past like 08 were sports/wrestling games, because all you have to do is slap in a few new models and update stats. Second, it was the highest selling console ever so it had the largest install base. The third and more interesting reason though is that Japan has a very different philosophy when it comes to legacy hardware, ie they milk that shit DRY up until the 11th hour. There were still Famicom games coming out in Japan in 91-92, and not from like small devs. From like Technos and other heavy hitters. Likewise that's why Nintendo and Sony's consoles and handhelds take FOREVER to die off while Microsoft and western devs immediately move onto the next gen. Honestly, I kind of prefer the former approach to the latter as someone who's poor, but it is what it is.

[@VulpesHilarianus]

@@warbossgegguz679 Well a lot of that has to do with corporate momentum. Back in the day it was much harder to port forward a game to a new generation of hardware without starting all over due to the massive differences between generations. The only exception was the Gameboy because Nintendo kept the same processor around as a sound generator on the Color and Advance, meaning you could run the entire game on that processor if you wanted. If you started a project in 1990 for the NES without knowing when new hardware is coming, you finished the game on the NES and released in 1992. The Genesis was a strange case because it shared architecture with the X68000, and since the X68000 had community support until the IBM PC and Windows 98 took over you had big studio Genesis games still coming out all the way until 1998. The final consoles to really linger on were the Xbox 360 and PS3 since the Xbox One/Xbox Series and PS4/PS5 are cross generation compatible. Though it seems last generation consoles getting new releases is happening all over again, seeing as how people don't have a reason to get a new console if their current one has all the games the new one does. The PS5's really been hit hard with this, as there have been no big PS5 exclusives.

[@warbossgegguz679]

@@VulpesHilarianus I think a lot of it is also just differences in consumer culture between the west and the east. Japan is VERY pragmatic/utilitarian when it comes to their consumer culture, and this extends into video games. In fact it's almost perfectly exemplified by it. Like, you can say it's about technological gaps, but I think it's just genuinely wanting to hit the broadest amount of consumers rather than expecting them to upgrade ASAP. A great example is that Mega Man & Bass/Rockman Forte was created SPECIFICALLY for the sake of Mega Man fans who didn't own a PSX and therefore couldn't play MM8. Or how Dragon Quest 11 got a 3DS demake for seemingly no reason other than just being able to put DQ11 on as many platforms as possible. And the 3DS is one of the pinnacles of this tbh. JP companies seem to actively try to meet legacy hardware demands and allow for a slower transition rather than just immediately jumping ship and expecting consumers to follow.

@@classiccustoms2010 Maybe not it's not that bad.

@@ImmaLittlePip I'm still pissed that Nintendo felt the need to delay a FINISHED REMAKE OF AW1+2 because of vague similarities to Russia... as though the Russian military have ever NOT been assholes.

@@warbossgegguz679 TBH they delayed the original 2 games due to 9/11 so... its just bad luck with this series

Whiplash was one of my favorite games growing up. Vinny giving it the “Gold Medal” makes me happy.

[@TheBKdynasty]

Man I remember playing whiplash with a ps2 demo disc, I never got the full game but it was such a weird experience it’s always stuck in my memory.

My favorite part was when John Beast said "It's Altering time" and then Morbed all over the place.

When is Blinyot gonna play more Poinie's Poin?

1:33:31 I took genuine psychic damage from this.

[@xaemusic]

I feel as of late, the number one thing Vinny has talked about is how much he hates videogame controls

[@TheBigDynamo]

George sounds like Spike from Ape Escape, although not the same guy.

[@Tyrese-Townsend]

For the past 16 years I thought that ATHF game was something I made up despite playing it at my friends house after he moved to a different part of town

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

I’m honestly surprised Vinny hasn’t just made “Vinny watches cutscenes” yet considering how little he actually plays these games why bother even making it past the cutscenes

[@emperortrevornorton3119]

Ghost Vibration sounds like Neil Breen does voice acting for a video game normally if a game is going to lay thick plot drop at the beginning they try to give you some energy not read word for word tone shouldn't go over a 3 in your reaction

[@pivotnaza]

"Project Alteres Beast" was a really solid product when released and had decent to good reviews. It's unkown in the USA because this game only saw release in Europe, Japan and South America (the later through illegal means)

[@mercury5003]

That whiplash game looks weirdly fun. Ashamed to admit the peta joke got me.

Whiplash was a game I REALLY liked as a rental, it was great for a weekend. For a wacky game it's surprisingly good.

[@crystalalumina]

Ghost Vibration was looking so good until it showed the character models, from them it immediately went downhill, it was like going from Silent Hill to Ghostbusters the videogame

[@TheElectricRaichu]

The level select hub was very Crash Bandicoot-esque for Gift. No idea what Vinny was on about. But apparently "Gift is a platform game developed by French studio Eko Software that parodies elements of popular adventure games. It was created by Cryo Interactive's creative director Philippe Ulrich (creator of the Dune video game) and by author, cartoonist and illustrator Régis Loisel."

3:50 his face reminds me of a who or the grinch. lol.

Wow Whiplash. I actually played that one. Fairly addictive.
