Is there any chance a PS or Switch port comes out later?

It's a system seller title for me if I didn't already have a Series S. And by that I mean, I can't imagine just not playing this ever to save $250. Just a thought. But maybe a few more titles will release eventually to make it worth it.

Cant wait to see the dge review on this. At an absolute minimum I'm going 8 out of ten.

I hope MS has some sense and puts this game everywhere they can this year. Netflix, e3 time. Etc. Have these guys announce some games or something. The characters are amazing.

Totally. It's a very promising IP.

Can you imagine if the 3D animation tech was advanced enough to mimic the 2D art style this well in the late 80s and 90s. Would have cut down the costs associated with the hand-drawn cartoons of the day, and maybe limited those reused running and walking animations that were so prevalent.

I really like this game but I wish it wasn't like 75/25 platforming ratio! But on the other hand I'm just glad to see a game like this getting funded, it has so much charm and the fighting is well-designed... it's a hard game to dislike.

Finished the game last night. I don't think I am going to play it beyond the one playthrough. I really enjoyed my time with the game. Felt like the pacing was pretty solid but I was kinda over playing the game by the time I got to the final boss.

So, if they ever make a sequel, what songs should they license for it? Considering that John Johanas seems to be a late 90’s, early 00’s kid, I think something like Queens of the Stone Age would fit right in. 4/4 stuff like Go with the Flow. Maybe The Strokes, some britpop stuff like Elastica. Hot Chip. Just fantasizing.

Queens of the stone age would be an amazing boss fight. We all know the song they should use. Yes it's popular but that would work for this.

I'd like some more prodigy, or chemical brothers to break it up.

Then yeah, go wild with whatever surprises he wants.

Early aughts rock is definitely the theme, all the music is from that time. Which admittedly was not really the best time for the culture, but it clearly works for this game.

I'd think like... Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, White Stripes, Spoon, all of that kind of stuff would probably fit pretty well.

If I were to wishlist some stuff that feels less obvious/likely, maybe mclusky, Ted Leo, Fugazi, Pavement, Screaming Females, Cibo Matto, maybe even some Prince if you're nasty.

All great choices and, damn, Mclusky is a name I haven't heard in ages. Lightsaber Cocksucking Blues!

I doubt it would run nice enough. Those kinds of games need to be played at 60fps, even more so this one with all the sync between music and gameplay.

Just finished my second playthrough on hard, what a game man, now I need to do spectra doors 9-16.

Hopefully they are not too difficult, or no more finish this battle with X amount of % in time, as I only did the 85% one as I triple dashed everywhere my timing is 💩

Oh boy do I have bad news for you 😂 there's a 90% one I think

The next gen Switch will easily be able to run this. Even at conservative clock speeds it should be more powerful than a PS4.

The new Switch could be very cool if it had DLSS. My major gripe with the current model is blurry games and bad performance, and DLSS could really help with those two.

I'm really sad because the game was great, and I was loving it but due to my slow reflexes and retardation I couldn't finish it because the mini games with a ton of QTEs were too hard for me even with the aids to make them easier.

I highly recommend tapping your foot.

But yeah, if you have no rhythm game background I can see how some parts would get infuriating.

Kind of a bummer that finishing it on higher difficulties does not unlock the achievements for lower difficulties.

I was very surprised at how much the game changed in the last 2 hours-ish.

When you move out of the factory, (which overstays its welcome a bit), the game feels fresh again, and they throw more bosses at you and the backdrops are awesome. I wish they had done that earlier, it elevates the game. A considerable amount of end-game content too.

I get the feeling a good deal of people checked out mid-way through.

Finally got around to finishing this game. Quite excellent. Loved some of the boss battles. The style in this game is oozing off the charts

Visuals were striking, gameplay was fun though I will admit that some of the later boss fights felt kind of absurd with some of the timing of parry attacks.

I really do hope that Tango is working on an RPG with this visual technology. I can't imagine how beautiful it would be. My biggest complaint for Hi Fi was how limited the level and game design was. An open world RPG with some of this DNA would be incredible.

Next Xbox game will probably be Psychonauts 2 or Pentiment, but they may have to wait until I get done with Zelda/FF16

yeah, the leveldesign was also a bit too devil may cry esque for me.
it's a bit worn out these days.

that IP could have legs tho.
they could make it into an actual action adventure with less restrictive level and gamedesign... and less tutorials

Yep. Something a little more wide-linear and metroidvania would go a long ways to diversifying the moment to moment gameplay.

If it's anything Xbox needs I think just having more high quality stuff like Hi Fi is a good start....this seems like a fairly efficiently made project and I commend them for making it. Not all games need to be 40 hour slogs with so much bloat, I feel that's a big problem with game development these days. Titles like Hi Fi that are focused have a place.

Hi-Fi Rush patch plumps up Chai's pillows

Hi-Fi Rush just got its fourth update, and it's clear developer Tango Gameworks is having fun with the patch notes.
www.eurogamer.net www.eurogamer.net


I like that they're having fun with their patch notes:

  • Removed exploit that allowed players to continuously resell attacks that the player has already sold. This adds realism since you cannot sell that which is no longer yours.
  • Fixed an issue where the "Specialist" challenge on The Wall of Fame will not be unlocked despite purchasing all available Special Attacks in the game. (Note: This is retroactive, so if you have already purchased the attacks it will register the objective as complete automatically)
  • Fixed an issue where a cool hidden animation for playing with 808 on the couch while she is equipped with the Bossplay Roquefort costume would not play.
  • Fixed support of PSO caching on the Microsoft Store version which could cause hitching during gameplay.
  • Adjusted couch pillow softness in the hideout to better refresh Chai when relaxing in between missions.
