Hi-Fi RUSH |OT| Dance to the Tango (Game Works)

Above all I'm impressed with how the game looks, it's so pretty and you can feel the strong art direction. It's the best looking cel shaded game ever, tied with recent ArcSys games but they're not full 3D.

Never expected Tango to have that kind of talent, big kudos to them.

Try it. The game won't punish you too much for being out of sync.
There are also lots of visual and sound cues that should help you stay on the rhythm.

Thanks for the advice but nah, I just absolutely hate the concept of rythm games no matter how forgiving they are.

Maybe i'm gonna give it a chance next time gamepass has the 1 euro for a month deal.

people are horny

do you actually look at the notification bar? Did steve jobs really die for this?

Anyways game looks really nice. But not interested in Rhythm QTE gameplay.

It's not qte. It's an action game but if you combo to the rhythm you get a damage boost and is integral to making it feel amazing.

With a soundtrack that has like 90% licensed music and gameplay that's completely tied to its music is there any point to actually streaming this game?
Click to expand...
It has streamer mode which you can enable to disable all the licenced music and sub in their own creations for the game.

Only got around to this late, played a few other games first then wow. Out of no where this game. First level took me close to an hour and I have to switch it off for work tomorrow but know what title I'm coming back to first.

I can't believe this drop, no leaks no nothing of a game of this calibre? How??
 
Is it just me or does this game have some weird... "Dreamcast vibes"?

I dunno, it looks nice and seems to have a lot of charm. Will definetly play at some point, probably pretty soon.

That's genuinely the thing that attracts me the most to this game.

Microsoft needs to lean more into this style of gaming and they will slowly but surely claw back their position in the market.

I totally agree! Its the area they have been lacking for a number of years. I'm honestly sick of first person shooter games and love stylistic visuals. This is the start of a new franchise for them, and it was worth the wait (that we were unware of.)

They better start with the TV commercials on this game.
 
Wow where the hell did this game came from?

Instant buy this guy. Runs perfectly fine on deck.

Will try out later on main pc with ultrawide.

Yeah, I skipped the previous gen, but I have a lot of Xbox and Xbox 360 digital titles on my Live account. I can go back and replay Radiant Silvergun again, Lost Odyssey, among a lot of other games. There's also the ability to use Retroarch that is a very attractive proposition...

I'll definitely get the X. Just gotta be patient.

Appreciate the feedback, all.

You could try making an account and subbing to gamepass for PC or XCloud in the meantime to play. I hadn't tried cloud gaming in a couple years and was impressed with how well its working now.
 
4k 60fps on Series X
1440p 60fps on Series S

I wasn't sold when I watched the developer show yesterday. But you guys have been praising it, so I got it this morning and started playing. Ok, it's pretty god damn fun! I have never played a game like this. I can't wait to get home from work to play more.
 
Played through the tutorial level through xCloud on my One X. Worked perfectly fine! Now to try it on my Series X to see if I can nail the rhythm better when playing natively.

I couldn't work out how Patapon worked.

Will I be able to play this one?

Might install it anyways cause it's on GP.

It's extremely forgiving. Tap your foot while playing. Everything is tapping in the game. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. It's only down beats. Honestly pretty simple, but I'm a rhythm game veteran.

You want to be relaxed and not button mash, stay totally chill while people are attacking so that you're able to wait for the beat, dodge on the beat, and not rush itetc. Ends up feeling very unique.

This kind of dialogue isn't exactly new. At least with TV. It wasn't uncommon back in the 90's to hear something like this. This game is obviously inspired by Saturday morning cartoons like stuff you'd find on Jetix.
Click to expand...
Yeah in fairness this is probably the one game of the 3 I cited where it's not as out of place. What riled me was I saw 3 trailers in the same day with that sort of crap.

That said tho, it's not exactly like 90s cartoons were well written masterpieces 🤣
 
Just realised that this probably won't see a physical release - same as Pentiment. Will Xbox move away from them apart from their biggest releases?

I think if it launches at $70 it'll be physical. Otherwise, likely not.

I want a t-shirt. Or a custom Xbox controller. Get busy MS.

If anyone is writing this off as a "rhythm game", don't. It's a third person action platformer with rhythm mechanics. Hitting in rhythm boosts your attacks and sets up combos.

Agreed. The rhythm part is a bonus on top of a pretty solid action platformer. I'm terrible at rhythm games, so my cue has been to hit the button when my first strike hits. That has worked best for me so far. Good stuff!!!

Is platforming aplenty?

If it is I will install it right away (no time to play though 😔)

Minimal. Light exploration, light platforming.

Just force yourself to make it through level 1 completely and beat the first boss. I'll be shocked if you don't continue. The beginning is a little slow due to tutorials, so just get through it.
 
Man this game is incredible. Very refreshing compared to all the cinematic open world trash that gets released nowadays. I want gameplay and not hours and hours of dumb cutscenes. If i want to watch a b tier movie i ll get netflix.
Thank you very much.

I love stuff like TLOU and God of War, but I also crave games like this. Stuff like Hi-Fi Rush brings me back to my favorite era of gaming.

Absolutely, doesn't need to be one or the other (insert why not both gif). GP will get its big titles, but these smaller ones are almost more exciting for me. It all depends on the individual sensibilities of the players.
 
Pretty fun game so far. Played level one, enjoyed it started level two and got the magnet. I think it is a decent game. Looks great.
