Saying Adioi Jr. joined by the one and only Nitro rifle, Andy Cortez. Hello, bless. Andy, how's it going? I'm great. We're about to check out Screamer. Yeah. Cast plays a game that I, you know, wasn't really on my radar a whole lot until you kind of mentioned it here and there. And then it was really that slack that maybe go, oh, shit, blessing loves this. Yeah. This is something we got to really kind of look after, you know, I'm curious what will happen when more people get their hands on Screamer because review the review embargo is really interesting. It was Sunday at 4am our time, which is an insane time for review embargo. And also it's a very busy season. So I don't think that many people got to review it. Like when I checked Metatritic, I think it only had like 20 or so reviews. Okay. And so I expect maybe a few more to trickle in or maybe word of mouth. We'll see how many people end up falling in love with this game the way that I did. But it was very gratifying seeing Tim also play it during the week and be like, dude, this is awesome. I'm going to thank God. It's not, it's not just me. It feels like such a Tim game. Yeah. What's happening here? Oh, so we're playing on a guest account so we can start from the top. But I think we should be able to. We would not let us play with. Oh yeah, don't show this. Well, I didn't know, I didn't know this would happen. I didn't even know what the guest account stuff was. Yeah, I assumed it was just like, oh, okay. No, I backed out. I backed out. I wasn't sure. Does it just let us go? No. Yeah. It's making us. We hit okay one more time. If this doesn't work, we can just play on my, oh, well, we're good. Oh, okay. Cool. There you go. Yeah, nobody signed into this place. They nobody signed. Please God. I don't know how that works. Yeah, we have to hide Granthabottos six. Yeah, like, oh, shit. That's the right one, right? Granthabottos six. Yeah, six is the next one. Are you playing Dutch? Um, Dutch. Here's the thing, Dutch. All right, let's see here. Driving aids. This is kind of what I was talking about with like some of the accessibility stuff. All right. One heavy control subtitles. Yeah. Want to audio? Sinaitis reduction. Like here we go. Damn, they got voice chat. Why? There's online. Oh, shit. Which I, man, I had so much to talk about during the review and like I honestly didn't even get to it all because I neglected to mention that the villain is played by Troy Baker in this game. Oh, shit. Yeah, Troy Baker. And then the like the main guy Hiroshi is played by Alex Lee. Right. Yeah. It was like he's Luke. He was here in the studio. And he was here in our studio. And he also played, I think, Junpei in Persona 3. Also, Kevin, I'm realizing that we don't have chat up. Yeah, that's okay though. Yeah, that's okay. Okay. We can look at Super Chats later. Yeah. But yeah, so I guess the plan is you want me to kind of hop in, see what the story's like. We'll hit the ad and then after that you'll show us some of the cooler later game stuff that is not spoilery. That's not spoilery. Yeah, because the way the game starts is it essentially puts you right into the story. And the story mode does a really good job of slowly introducing mechanics and also like looping that in with what's going on in world to explain why these mechanics are what they are like the boost system, the entropy system that I talked about during the during the review. Oh, they also have like a nice anime intro here. Oh, nice. Yeah. Okay. Perfect. But yeah, I wanted to start off with story and then later on I'll show you what just arcade gameplay looks like. So sick. Come on. Yeah, there's that. There's also what I wanted to mention. Doesn't really matter. Also, oh, Kev, do you have? Oh, you do. Can I have your money? Also, Screamer is an old franchise. I don't know if you knew this. I didn't know that. Yeah. There are like multiple Screamer games. Oh, that looks so fire. Yeah. Back in like the 90s and I think maybe even early, early 2000s. But correct my command. Yeah, I don't, I mean, the name Screamer evokes Dreamcast. You know, like I just, I'd never really had. I didn't even, obviously I didn't even know it was a franchise at one point, which made me wonder why I'd name the game Screamer. I didn't know like what it was a franchise. It was nothing like this though. Like I was looking up gameplay and it just looks like an old simming kind of racer. But Street Race. Like, hold on, let me look it up. Let me look it up because I remember there being like Screamer four by four, it's it like that, but it like did not have this anime. Aesthetic whatsoever. I guess probably was like Street Racing type. We raised with being slits. Any Fast and Furious references. No, no. They had that, that Actual reference. There it is. Um, it was for the MS-DOS. Oh wow. Yeah. Holy shit. The first game was a 1993 Screamer 2 was 96. Why would Anna Connick be the first to play Screamer? Why would Anna Connick or care about winning some racing tournament anyway? Sure, a cash prize is nothing to them. You could have changed the fate, would you? 100 milliard of dollars. That's nothing for them. A sign. Caterpillar said. 100 billion dollars. I couldn't care less what a stranger were terrible tastes in Alias's text to do. If Quinn could see us now. Roshin. What, Hiroshi? Hiroshi's cool, right? 100 billion is such a non-existent amount of money. To give away, you know? I mean, Elon's close to a trillion, but 100 billion is such a funny thing. Well, you could tell me that like two people in the world have 100 billion dollars. It's Gabrielle. That's the dude you were talking about. That's the guy. We need cars. Fast ones. Oh, fuck yeah, dude. Again, the buy-in that I had to this game in this story in this world, like as I'm rewatching this, I'm like, let's go. We're so in. I can robbed. A decade working as a PMC, putting away money just to flush it down the toilet. I know, but we need a way of getting to Gabrielle, right? I look at that, I go, Gabriel. Yeah, Gabrielle sound. I mean, that's usually like, I knew a lot of Gabrielle women growing up. Yeah. So like, it's, you know, I'm interested, you know, fascinating that Gabrielle, I think speaks French. He doesn't speak English. So like, I think it's just based off of the country's front. And Caterpillar seems to think this is our only chance. Who the heck's Caterpillar? Are we about to find out? We'll learn. Oh, wow. I'm gonna hit auto. Gabrielle Union. Ah, shit. No, actually, I think that's about the way you're thinking. I think some people in the Gamescast chat automatically assumed visual novel, no voice acting. Yeah, all voice acting. It's all voice acting. That's cool. But not like screamers. That's cool. How many other, uh, how many other comparisons you got Frederick? Metaphors. Thanks, Frederick. Sure. Yeah. Let's see what these things can do. And by things they're done by cars. It's funny, like this is the moment, I guess, before you even get into the racing, right? Like the visual novel stuff is where I was like, oh, all right, like I didn't realize this is gonna be more like this kind of vibe. I thought it was gonna be more cut scenes. But then like the more the further the story goes, the more I was like, this is awesome. Let's see, accelerate using R2, brake using L2, use left stick to steer right to drift. Steering and drifting work independently of each other and can be combined to handle corners more effectively. I mean, it looks so great. It looks amazing. It looks so great. All right, keep drifting. All right, so I like the little side objectives on the far right. Yeah. Well, I'll be your main objective. Fuck me. I'm sure you'll do that real bad. But this is just to get you into it, get you used to the controls. How often you you you're letting your finger off the pedal? A lot of the times I'm drifting around a hard corner. Like it took me through half the game until kind of figure out the rhythm of like pick my hand off the pedal while drifting while also like even putting on the brake or whatever. Right. Yeah. Like it's like the sharper the corner. Like this corner I might put in like a little tap of the brake as I'm okay. Got you. Got you. Trying to get a feel for it. I do like the dual sense though. Like the vibrations feel nice. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you feel it in the triggers. Yeah, the adaptive triggers feel great too. Which is funny because I was playing at my desk, I was working because I had my headphones on and I was playing some of this game and I'm like, I wonder if everybody just hears like the crackle of my controller. What was that? No, I thought that was a ramp. I can maybe jump up. See, that was another thing. It's funny because like early on I had a lot of these things of like interesting no traffic, no ramps. I thought there would be like more ramps in an arcade racer and then all that stuff kind of like faded away as I played more. Yeah, because when you talk about your goal always wanting, you chasing that burnout high. Yeah. What exactly is it that makes you chase the burnout out? Are you talking about just a feel? Is it one of the things where it's like mainly maybe it's just tied in nostalgia or is it like, what exactly is it? It's three things. It's speed because burnout has a really fast sense of speed and I think part of that might even be camera tricks of like how they make everything. Right, the FOV. Yeah, the FOV, like how everything looks blurry as they're going, but they have a really good sense of speed. There's also the drifting of burnout, which feels great, which this game captures a little bit for me as well. And then there's like the aggression, right, to take down and the shit like that, which this game kind of tries to do. Doesn't do it as good as burnout, but I appreciate the fact that it's there. Because I'm still chasing San Francisco Rush. I'm like, and it's just, it's a melee in this outing, but I love going up a ramp and seeing my car just spin a shitload of times and trying to land, you know what I mean? Like, and that's one thing I always wished for when playing Forza. It's like Forza is so player friendly in that it doesn't let you accidentally launch off the ground without you wanting to. It wants to keep you grounded so that it, you know, even though that's not how physics necessarily work, your car is like a lot heavier in that game. They don't want you flying all over the place and crashing. They want the game to be friendly with you. Yeah. But there are times where I'm like, I wish there was a low gravity or like lower gravity so that I can't launch. Yeah, what's funny is that burnout's the same way. Burnout doesn't have you like launching that often. It was born and laid. I don't care what we do. Long as it ends with Gabriel six feet under. They're just trying to get him ousted. What's funny is that like early on, I'm like, oh, well, these are the main characters. They're the good guys, right? And the more you play, the more you're like, oh, they just want to kill this guy. Yeah. Like that's their whole mission, you know? Nobody here is really a, a quote unquote, good guy. And there's the adult language. Yeah. It's her legacy. We're not changing. Greg plays in front of Ben. Ben's like, what is my dick? Greg's Ben said microdicted school again. We've got a tournament to join. We've got a tournament to join everyone. And this is what I'm talking about where you unlock things. Okay. Mirrors. Okay. And that's the loot box. Yeah. That's like what I was saying, like the quote unquote loot boxes, like not really loot boxes, but just automatic, like randomized, like cosmetic things that you're collecting. So basically the box. Um, hello? Also, if you saw on that loading screen, like this is episode two. Like an episode is over is basically one race. That's a racer. Fermi has a Mirri at a time. What? The dog can drive. That's amazing. The name's Gage. How the fuck do dogs do that? You know? That's a good question. So that's a Gage just like letting the chest all the way out. Beautiful. And the abs. Great hair. Like is the person giving that out then bankrupt? Were you getting all their money? It's in my will. Because if I'm giving away a hundred billion dollars, like I got to have multiple trillion. Because even if you have one trillion, it's like I'm not giving away a hundred billion on a street race. Black doggy, thank you for 61 months' love to the cave crew. Thank you so much. Thank you. Also while we're here, remember you can super chat in if you have any questions. Also shout out to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney, the Psalm Twining. No, no, nothing like that. It's just no offense, but you've had your sweaty palms all over them and I'm not a fan of sweat or oil. Or any fluid, really? Aren't you a mechanic? The cleanest mechanic you'll ever meet. I think Gage needs a mirroring. Gage is, yeah. And no funny business. Like getting another gun in between races. You'll be checked before every race immediately disqualified and arrested. Does that mean that they had problems with people just sticking out guns out the car windows? You gotta assume that they had some issues. We gotta crack down on that. The dog? This is so cute. How the freak are you driving? A driving dog is worth more than a hundred billion dollars. This is a little funny. What I need is a big parking lot to fuck with it. You know what I mean? It's definitely harder to do it and more discouraging to do it when you're in a track already. Yeah. The J-pop group? Yeah. These are the criminals I talked about. Or those are the actual corporate dudes. Space Channel 5 crew. Space Channel Cry. These are the criminals. In a manner of speaking. So it was Gage just a neutral party. Yeah. He works with everybody. He works with like the organizer. Gotcha. Yeah. Of the tournament. I'm assuming that's the booster that lets us hit people. Let's give you quite a few things. Oh wow. Yeah, you'll learn throughout the experience. Wow. Hiroshi Frederick and... Roy Shin. Roy Shin. Tried for the tournament while testing some strange new tech. Episode 3 begins now. Yeah. So not every episode has a race but... Worth a hundred billion? That's the one thing in the writer's room where like if I was there it's like... What if we did like a hundred million? I feel like that's still like a lot of money. Social destruction chats. Plus I was playing tournament earlier and there are secret routes to take. Found two and didn't realize the game had any. Yes. I didn't realize that until I was pretty far in. And I was like wait a second what's this and I found a secret route through a track. They're hard to get to though. They can like jump through the little like cave entrance and... Yeah. But like you got to like know exactly... Like you're talking on the beach level? Yeah. Dude I remember that. But it's like... Fuck. The shortcuts are so like hidden that you would have to like know the track, know the track and be able to be like oh I know it's coming up. I'm gonna drift real hard right into this thing. And is the drift adding a boost? No. Okay so we're not getting like a Mario Kart kind of... Oh I see you're saying uh no you're not really. Okay. Maybe some well you know how I said every character has their own abilities. I know some there are there's at least a couple characters maybe one character that has has it so that when they drift they gain meter in some form. Okay. But it's more it's more so they're not teaching you to shift yet but when you shift that'll that'll get you the boost. I want I want to get so good at drifting it's just it's gonna take a while. Gonna take a while chat. Yeah. You know just be patient with yourself. How's the soundtrack for the rest for the whole game because this this track's rocking. Yeah this track's rocking. I think the soundtrack is overall great not my favorite racing game soundtrack but I honestly think the only thing they could do to really bring it up would be would be to have vocal tracks because I associate my favorite racing games with having like like D&B with a kind of woman over it with a lot of reverb. Yeah or like I think I realized too that just like the way we licensed soundtrack has changed a lot over the years because like I'm thinking of burnout where it's like they had my chemical romance and burnout like they had like lazy generation being the main theme and when I'm playing a game like this I almost like expect there to be some sort of like you know yeah vocal track or pop punk or whatever it is that said for like having just purely instrumental tracks that's a strong thumbs up for me because when I think of like racing game I don't know why my mind especially a racing game like look that looks like this and presents itself in this way yeah my mind immediately goes to that one track in luminous or luminous yeah right um the with the with the woman singing on it oh yeah you know what I mean like I forget exactly what that song was that I okay what are the lyrics in that song chat I need you I can only hear the touches like one oh that's a cute car they all have like their own unique cars I love it what holy shit Jesus Christ that's the echo right there that's what the echo does okay someone's earned themselves a treat haven't they that's kind of a fucked up thing to do though yeah it's a blow up your dog to show that he can regenerate I mean that's kind of the dream to have a dog that can't die though I told you the echo is the most until he starts suffering please kill me I'm a thousand years old I keep doing this my legs don't work my insides are ancient I can't swallow food anymore that's yeah that's probably the song peek yeah the uh I'm trying to think of the lyrics that's killing me though well mr. a's calling oh her name is Roy shane I thought his name was Roy shane hmm mortal honestly it's a relief installing and uninstalling echoes all day place hell with my back that reminds me the echo is not to leave the premises of the tournament I have an echo locator that tracks all echoes within a certain range if an echo leaves that range it will self-destruct and neither car nor driver will come back from that explosion the banner ascent says was great meeting you Andy on sat on saturday at the wolmshow did you ever find tam you're looking for I did find tam yeah at the yeah I didn't find him I needed what I needed him for great meeting you by the way bander I needed him to buy me alcohol oh yeah and the liners were long and I just needed him to like each other can you can you do that yeah help me up please help me no man I'm too sober on this day every human has a universal language translator installed in their temple I just modified mine to translate human and dog languages now before you go I need just one more thing your team name sure it's the ban reapers the um green reapers the green why green yeah is it fuck you know no why green the dumbest fucking name I've ever heard is what it is oh I don't know I remember one team called the wheel winners that was worse maybe when you said the first team name was green reapers I thought we were going to go with legends of the hidden temple the purple penguins the orange iguana is the whatever no and then so when you saw the name of the other names like oh that's way cooler I love that there's not like a theme thing no no that's sick as hell just go through those like the jpop crew um I always forget their name the Jupiter Stormers no that's the scientists that's a great name the Jupiter Stormers right so cool um the kpop crew is also they have a cool name and that's just the name of their group like they're not that's like not even their racing team name she never wants to see me again well that's easy for you to say break force remanda that's the that's badass that's them this no this is the Jupiter Stormers sick ass suits right I just want like a head piece that has those cool like a kind of anime like it's part of me I needed to like live you know because that dude has like cool little head piece Louvignon one of my favorite characters is she Brazilian is this Portuguese I can't you know I never figured it out I think you're right oh maybe Italian get naked here naked find out god I love the look so yeah right also you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna two thumbs up to the soundtrack now I'm hearing these songs again now I'm actually paying attention to it oh man come on come on come on I just gotta quit drifting and just drive I'm trying to drift too much yeah you don't have to drift everything yeah I just gotta I just gotta I just gotta drive can't maybe hit a little break here and there yeah after this episode I think that's when we'll switch up let me hop into arcade mode over on my safe aisle yeah that sounds great I do like kind of like just hitting that moment where you know all right let off let off the gas drift a little bit like oh it just feels great yeah and the controls dude awesome man I had a race where it all just clicks get together where I'm like oh okay this is how I turn perfectly like I'm turning without even I'm turning hard corners without even hitting the walls or whatever yeah I do his head piece I want one of those I can never be able to take it off yeah it's a little shit part of my head moment to your head I always just got the chest out always will be our kind of funny racing team name um maybe like the you always did cut it close like the pizza hud um dinner box or like what like what's pizza dinner box like what do they call that big ass meal that has like all the different like all size of the dessert and the bread oh we're talking about what's the call the I feel like your best encompasses us you know I mean it does have the box the a lot of different meals the family whatever the hell yeah it's funny in chat we'll get it invitation what makes um blonde lady your favorite he has really good dynamics with some of the other characters on the other teams and like there's like a specific storyline with her another character that's just like very wholesome in a way where I was like this is this is nice it's hard to say without spoiling but yeah gage that's not what it is thank you for your kind words I think yeah Swedish big dinner box is that it maybe oh I think it is the big dinner box yeah I think that's our name that's our racing name I'm so bad with languages oh he goes German okay shit well that's odd because I thought only a fool would install bionic arms that are unpredictable volatile prototypes jsi has hundreds of bionic prosthetic devices that went through rigorous testing many of them by me models that give you godlike strength or cook an egg in the palm of your hand even from here I can tell that those contain enough energy to power a small city or blow it up they just all speak different languages and are somehow translated yeah in the future everybody knows that chat you just like you just have different everybody's got the min plants you know yeah it's like the tiktok as I get where like if you ever see these where people will have uh earbuds on and then like if they're in another country people speak Japanese but like they'll hear it in English that's so cool that's not just crazy that's the future including those arms I don't understand that language or I don't recognize that language not understand obviously I never could say no to you wags I will say playing Tekken the latest one has prepped me for this because they in that game they also all speak different languages and it kind of bug me then but then I would just like whatever I love that I love how in Overwatch the enemies old lines are their native languages but your teammates are your English language oh that's I love that they do that your chances so new character meaning new character unlocked or just like hey we're introducing you now you're going to be her for the next however many episodes new character unlocked for like arcade and other modes yeah so like every every episode they'll switch it up to some extent right you'll return many times to play the same characters but there's not really a consistent all right this is LaVinius thing this is this thing like it's all pretty much like whatever whoever we need to we need you to play as for this episode is cool how you play how you play as cool well we're gonna hit an ad break right here bless and then when we come back you're gonna show off some of what the arcade mode is different challenge mode different challenge modes we'll hop into the other parts of the game okay sick we'll see in a bit chat this episode is brought to you by

we're on my save uh and i wanted to do this on my save because i have just way more things unlocked if you go to the arcade mode on the other save that we just did it would look like a ghost town pretty barren yeah it'll look very barren in a way that's not fun but i can show you the full character select screen and stuff like that here so and other both i like the main menu even so this is the main menu of course the tournament is the mode that we were just doing but they got multiplayer which if you go in there they have oh i shouldn't bother someone to review they have four players split screen oh wow which is something you never see nowadays uh but then you also have online i didn't get to play much online obviously because it was the review period and like i don't think streamer was a is a popular enough game to have like a million reviewers and so anytime i try to check online i just couldn't match up with anybody um i played one online match last night with like two other players and i think one of them was a developer okay now the game's on early access and we hop into that but you have gauges workshop as well which is what i'm talking about for like the oh customization yeah so each of these keys i love that it's the keys belong to a different character each row is a different team as you can see um but like let's say let's go to roisin's car here yeah you can see like the locked things we have to unlock different oh this rocks but yeah you can this is have all these different customizations and you could like based on what i saw earlier with like you unlocked a new color for the review mirrors yeah you can get that granular with it i believe so let's see here oh actually you might you have to buy it because that's one thing i didn't figure out during the review is i went into this menu to like mess around a little bit but i didn't get that far beyond like looking at the preset ones when you get down to customization path um they're they have like the cart symbols on there uh so i wonder if that's a thing you have to just then like what happens if you hit x in there nothing oh nothing okay got you yeah it just makes that sound effect so yeah i wasn't able to figure that part out part of it out which is your favorite car to use favorite car to use is a good question oh i love that their team is just cards like yeah access cards that's fun cool um i fucked with um these guys over here gabriel's car actually i thought was pretty fun to use that looks like a Porsche yeah or like a batmobile almost too and honestly like Hiroshi's car is sick um just for like i like the extra boost that you get so let me hop over to the yeah because you've mentioned that some of the teams they have the different perks yes and it's not it's not just character by character but it's like so this team has a perk no it's character by character but you have the regular free for all races i'm meant to bring up the team race during the review but i'll bring it up now right so team races are basically you're racing as a team you can do duos you can do trios because every team has three people um team races are determined both by placement and also how many other teams you blow up like you you take out and then like an accumulates the points at the end and whoever has the most points wins the team race um it's not going to do it because i think duos are manageable but yeah they have the characters grouped up by their teams right and so you have like again uh oh yeah that's right so you have the kagawa kai here which are the criminals you have green reapers here you have anaconda core you have strike force remanda and then you know over here you have tuber to stormers let's hop into i've got this i've got this how long do some of the races get are there ones where it's like five laps or you know yeah you'll have um two lap races three lap races and then some five lap races okay yeah we should be like hop into the grade meaning on the left side is that meaning that you completed that with the next grade or is it saying this is a harder map i think it means you completed i completed with an s grade but i was never actually able to like figure that out figure that out yeah this music rocks that i fucking love this soundtrack sick right those visuals look so good it's certainly got the visual sauce man like they it has it a very good visual personality and identity the entropy gauge is on the top right top right yeah so you'll see here right now i have like one of my boost things filled up now if i wanted to i can use the boost by holding l1 i see i can also use shield by tapping r1 and then once i use boost you'll see it there there it is the entropy starts to fill once i get two of those in there i can then use the strike ability to try to take somebody out and what does the shield look like is it just like a bubble shield or is it like it it looks like i don't know like electricity is flowing through the car yeah there's all right i missed it but though the l1 you saw pop up with the extra boost as i hit that i like that challenge of the quick sort of response the quick reaction time yeah you need to hit that quickly yeah because it's on top of like me hitting that triangle right there because i hit that one so i get an extra one and then yeah hit that l1 right there is like a nice little QTE it makes sense to not have traffic over here yeah you know there's not a wall green so we're driving by yeah that was the thing is early on when they said illegal street races i was like oh okay so like we're gonna be doing this on public roads and then it's like no we have secluded areas which now now that i've like finished the story i'm like okay i get it like evil mega rich people like okay cool you have the money to afford to take us elsewhere over here old evil races is there a hinted at year this is in i think it's this big future okay yeah damn so you got you got flat i've got flat like gaber right there yeah i could see where some of the frustration would be like man you were right in front of me and now i just hit a wall you know i like seeing the car parts in the street there are line up a big strike i want to see a big a strike right here yeah see those are really hard to line up there are you got to like be looking after the straightaways and stuff yeah you got to be like drafting off of somebody yeah what it is and then either for a second like let's see if i can get one on here there we go and then i think that that'll automatically give me an extra boost to you to kill up those gauges great visual effects the explosions yeah if it were up to you if you were able to wave the magical game development one from the magical game development wizard what would you change what would you like to see less of what would you like to see more of a good question more of honestly i would like to see strikes like keep the mechanic because i think there's there's vision there i like the idea but i want to be able to strike people from the sides instead of just from the back okay um like if i would go all the way i'd be like just make it like burn out to where i am like straight up like hitting somebody against the wall and like you can see they react to that and all that shit right but at the very least even if it is like all right you can strike from the back or if you hold another button or something you know you strike from the side and got it over um so there's that i mean honestly like i mentioned during the review i like the story that's a good quality drift honestly i'll try to strike damn it so keep that guy's an overdrive by the way so he's gonna keep going until he hits a wall or something or he's really runs out of overdrive and that's his perk no so overdrive uh most characters have that that's basically if you let your strike your entropy meter fill up 100 you go into you can press l3 and r3 to go into overdrive mode and that'll just like endlessly like have you going faster if you hit any other car you'll get taken out um it's like a longer more consistent strike yeah i could see a uh creep brings up a great point surprise side tracks on a thing with all this drifting yeah i could see like a tail yeah like a pool yeah using your drift to kind of the the positioning to strike somebody also i love the ui i know if ui of this game is so good looks so cool gabriel nipkin gabriel oh so mr a's got that mask yeah yeah you can't be named mr a with a mask like that like mr a needs to be more of the dark shadow we do in the suit if you have a mask like that your name has to be viper or something you know like uh you can also do a custom experience where they let you like get into the duffie of what the rules are okay so you want to control the um like the amount of people playing in a lot of fires number of laps dude then the laps will go all the way to i think 99 if you really if you really wanted to go for it you can do a long ass race my god um that you cannot allow for duplicates like change number of competitors deactivate like specific oh neat okay this is kind of like the customization of of um it was like smash battle golf oh yeah you could go into there and be like you know turn off this item turn off these items whatever the hell exactly yeah that's just the race or that's the team race mode they also have a score challenge overdrive challenge overdrive challenge i've not done i think that's just how long can you stay in overdrive if i remember correctly okay oh cool and people online are popping up i didn't realize i did that yeah the guy with the mask had all like the first time i saw him was like oh he looks like the dude from from gundam like that's the first thing i thought sport challenge is like another thing um i think it's just like a series of races like are you by yourself in this or you do you have npcs you're fighting again you have npcs as well yeah yeah let's see one of these pick the short one seemingly you can unlock shit here too like if i didn't have all the characters i can unlock some of them through this mode if i wanted to let's go who do you want me to pick aside from the bottom realm not going to pick the bottom realm because that's like you would lock those characters at the end but out of the main five teams who are you feeling i i i love the visuals of the of this squad oh yeah that's the jupiter stormers yeah so whoever you want there see perfect boost is powerful but the time you're required to activate changes the first time ish is ko to explode automatically activates an emergency shield and then you can evolve the ecosystem by using sick boost strike and overdrive more powerful okay go aisha we go aisha wait no that's the fuck i saw it in you let's see some i like i like this uh force 13 area just all like outdoorsy foresty kind of tracks i don't know the handling looks kind of bad i i disagree i think it feels great it's more of i'm really really bad at i wanted to get really good at the drifts immediately and it's going to take some doing yeah i mean i i think i felt similar when i first started playing as far as the handling but i got used to it and now i love it yeah i think it feels really good those are some massive fucking cannons on the back of this car it looks like a shuttle it's a fucking spaceship holy shit i mean it is yeah i think it's always hit a boost if i can at the end of a turn yeah of course yeah the best it'll slow down and then immediately spin back up best feeling the car's about to launch is there a mario kart style race start boost to ask yeltsin yes there is actually um you'll see it at the start of the race toward the bottom left an l1 prompt will pop up and are most of the things quick time event both based like fan like timing based like when it comes to what the strike is what the start is oh yeah well um the boost is definitely like quick timing with like the meter coming in and for um oh not isha but for la vinia the triangles in a different spot each time like for most characters is right at the center now the different teams and the different characters yeah they obviously all have their own different special abilities are all of the cars going to also be different where it's like this one weighs a heavier this turns better there's a better acceleration i don't think i i couldn't find where they like tell you yeah right i couldn't find where they tell you any of the stats but for sure they control differently like i can feel it in the job yeah it might be one of those things that you have to like in mario kart hit the button to then bring up the yeah yeah they for sure handle differently oh i'm not playing chat oh um bless this oh sorry yeah i have control that's why he's barely hitting the walls for me i'd be hitting the walls on top are you able to enable car damage i.e. from crashing into walls has to feel pretty um there's a little bit of car damage but it never gets too crazy but like as you saw with um when some of those explosions happen in the last race you can see like the um like parts of the car on the ground and shit but oh if i can just get to which we'll call it to overdrive they're like so close damn oh we're so close to first place dude this track is fucking crazy yeah i love this one more way how close oh the race is almost done i think yeah five laps never mind we're only on oh shit okay we're only on three i also thought i was through up he's definitely hitting over guy here we go here we go to pop up yeah well i mean i need to line it up here yeah it's also very sensitive to where if i hit a wall i'm over like i'm i'm exploding game is about to burn out real quick this track is so this track is fucking awesome yeah yeah you want to take it back this soundtrack is incredible nothing like a racing game with drum and bass like it's just it's it's my favorite tandem of things oh yeah like a skateboarding game i need either thrash fast punk or hip hop in a racing game i need drum and bass it rocks ghost of in chat ask how's car audio i like it i'm not the biggest like car person like if we're talking about like the details of how a car should sound or sound another car should sound all that shit but um i like how it sounds when it's like oh i got a shift like i'm i've hit i don't again i don't know the terms but i've hit max max capacity on like whatever gear i'm on like i need a shift i think that sound when it kicks in is like such a good like it's such a good sound and then it feels satisfying especially when i then hit the gear shift damn this first place racers nuts yeah he's fucking gone where the hell are they this is not like i'm in walrus yeah they're just gone gone i wouldn't surprise you if like the announcers like actually first place crashed a long time ago we never updated it are there any other camera views ask captain awesome yes oh i have done some races in first person i'm so bad at first person racing it's easily my least favorite yeah i all game oh shit fuck oh no oh god damn it no i played the first person god damn that's the first person but we distracted him yeah i did a couple races in first person because i wanted to see what it'd be like with the drift thing and it feels good okay awesome well is there anything else you'd like to show off us before we say goodbye ooh maybe give me like a another city ish map another say okay i got yeah now do we want to try an online race yeah one online race yeah let's race against other people see what we should do we should have done if i thought ahead bring in another controller just do split screen oh yeah yeah okay yeah we'll see who's online yeah it's really easy to do i mean do we do online or you want to get another i want to see you play against other people like i want to collectively root against somebody i want us to talk shit about whoever's online if we're able to find a game yeah hopefully we're able to find i think only early access right yeah but i mean it's if it's the you know you pay early access for the special edition or whatever like that's more so than um the amount of people reviewing and all they were able to find a race so it looks like we're yeah it looks i mean something's happened something's going on okay so this is what i saw last night where i saw that logo and i'm like is that a developer because that's the company logo for milestone oh it's gotta be yeah but we might be going one on one with the dev it's gotta be you gotta dominate them you gotta lock in do the characters feel different to play yeltsin yeah we mentioned a little bit earlier yeah they do and uh bless is playing on PlayStation and we'll say the when i played against a developer and another player last night oh fuck waffle on the run oh from chat all right it's me waffle and four devs yeah exactly if you win it's a dev if you lose rent with brony all right we're going with the dog i like it all right for me it's showtime and they the dog talks uh the dog barks but they understand his language i never thought about it okay i don't think so i think um only i think only is owner understands him okay only gauge understands the dog got you fuck this song rocks i gotta ask some questions kid jr i gotta i gotta ask gotta you gotta you know figure out what's going on with his dog because the rest of the game is people speaking in different languages and understanding each other that was a good dog language is a dog language you know all right if i go non-verbals because i'm locking in i freaking love the look of this car it is so cool i love the boxy sort of vibe to it so look at that fucking drift oh wow look at that drift wow around everybody so that's a good track come on come on come on let's go big boost yeah oh does it notify you when you're about to get yes the these things on screen yeah okay the red shit yeah okay yeah so the dog the dog's boost and strikes up last way longer oh i like using them you waffle on the runs in the first place bless that's crazy they're killing it how do you that get at the game already the game's not even out yet oh nice oh oh shit oh says bless uh bless makes a sick turn and takes a bunch of spots also bless loses those spots in normal turns you know what that's fair we excel at the hard stuff and really fuck up on the easiest things damn a lot of explosives up ahead i think waffle on the runs like the dude in the last race who was just gone forever yeah pull up they were at one point they were visible and then they just became invisible oh see yeah that would have been a cool side yeah oh shit oh man all that coming in man i'm getting fucked up now what up demon what up spa oh oh oh oh man yeah now they're coming out now they're coming out now they're coming out your 14th place yeah that's looking great does it show you on the mini map if anybody's exploding i wonder i'm looking to see if like you see like a maybe it's the purple actually on this mini map no that purple's got to be someone boosty on the mini map nope two more laps all right we gotta lock in andy we're racing in drink on your video scheme game skill is so low that would be a cool thing for us to like our stats yeah if we were to do like the that hexagonal map or even oh yeah you know even it's like octagonal like based on the genre is like i'm way up here for this but i'm way low for this you know yeah i've never been good at racing games but i always i always enjoyed them as a kid and then i kind of just like fell off of the genre but a cool story like this or galaxy freaking what's it called uh star wars one star wars galaxies yeah galactic galactic racer yeah i was gonna say galaxy if there's a cool ass story there as well like that that's very similar to fighting games i need a really sick ass story to get in now that being said i have skipped a lot of the more recent fighting games with awesome stories just because of time tech in mortal combat i gotta play this i'd say i'm probably the best at first person shooters in terms of my own personal skill or just like shooters in general you don't think souls games no i have persistence with souls games i mean i do first try a decent amount of stuff but like i also am super shit at some bosses so it's a mixed bag we can start this trend like this this feels like a social media should like the 10 games against yeah here's my octagonal skill he's gotta like make the path template yeah the thing i suck at though is that i never use the shield like i see like i see somebody coming i just never use the shield because i'm always using the boost because the boost in the shield use the same meter yeah yeah so it's like slay this fire do i want to use an attack heart or a shield car yeah exactly oh nice oh we're so locked do not get last place bless do not get last place all right well i cannot get last place i just want to finish the race honestly oh at least not last place okay not at least not last place because i think it was what 16 players in that not last place well bless that's gonna do it for us on this episode of games cast plays this has been screamer a game that blessing said a nine out of nine i said i love this i love this video game and he said it was like you know racing about eight out of ten but that the story just really really hooked in grand yeah with awesome super likable characters and one that i'm really stoked to try out i was actually supposed to be the one playing but we ran out of time when it comes to like what we were setting up in here but i was slacking greg during the games cast asking for a code i was like oh no wait there is one for me yeah i
