I can't help feeling that there's no substantive cohesion to the presentation here. It's like they went in with the thought, "We're going to make a game in the style of an '80s game show," but then decided not to actually watch any '80s game shows for reference and just tossed a bunch of vaguely '80s-early '90s looking crap on top of a barely functioning shooter.
Actually, it has quite a bit of 80's in it. While the video doesn't really show it, the arcades have their own music (80's style), a lot of the sound effects towards the end of the match, the crowd as well, very 80's like with their shout outs when there's an "event", the announcer, all the cosmetics in the shop which you can earn / buy. The special delivery bike as well, when you get on it it plays a really cool old school metal song (instrumental) the menu music... Really the list goes on. This was a really shitty video, it's much better when you've played an actual battle royal before, these guys didn't even know that it's a single right click to ADS, the scrub playing was holding the right click. Furthermore, I didn't see them do a commando roll once, that's one of the funnest mechanics in the middle of a fight to escape / evade, it's also an essential part to getting on to higher places and vaulting over things and leaping further when you need that bit of extra distance. The trampoline is super is also super fun. Since this video though, they have added a lot more textures and optimized, they have also added heaps of bike ramps around the map for the bikes, which makes it even more fun.
I'm not saying there's nothing reflective of the '80s here, it's just that they all feel like really shallow pulls that don't relate directly to the game shows of the era they're allegedly trying to evoke.
I was simply making a statement, shame on you for thinking it had anything to with this game Loginius, and you too Anthony. You should both be ashamed of yourselves. You monsters. Tut tut.
I can't help but think, with that character design, that this is how far Captain Planet has fallen since the Planeteers stopped caring and started being actual 20-somethings with crippling debt and a general disregard for the environment. R A D I C A L
Because the 80's atmosphere was woven into the narrative of an actual game, and not a three-color texture pack for Fortnite. I mean, in that game you could talk on a cell phone, and it was real big. Like the EIGHTIES?
I saw that Boss Key logo at the start and thought I was having a stroke and Vic from NBA 2K16 Presents: A Spike Lee Joing: Livin' Da Dream had a game company now posthumously
Cliffy B had one good idea, it was called Gears of War and he shot that wad like twelve years ago. You can tell he's really trying to re-capture that popularity and praise, but he's got no creativity left in him so he's just aping everything that seems popular, without knowing WHY these things are popular and without trying to improve or add a twist to these popular things. You know what a good twist for this might be? The Running Man. It's a violent 80's style gameshow theme. You could make it so a handful of hunted players have to get from one end of the map to one of several goal points at the other end OR survive for a set amount of time. Getting to the goal gets you more prize money than surviving. Prize money could be used to buy customization for your hunter character. Hunters, the other team, have to kill the hunted players. Populate the world with a bunch of NPC's in the town areas to give hunted a chance to blend in a bit. You could hide in a city and try to wait it out by blending in with NPC's, but the longer you stand around in a crowd with the NPC's the higher the chance one of them might call in your location or something to the hunters. You could do stuff like, if there's gunfire it pings on the map for the hunters, so if there's a gunfight everyone knows. And that's my dumb idea that I came up with in like two minutes. I've put more thought into this than Cliffy B.
I can see how that game would start. Phantom: You must stop them by using the power of Performa. Atreus: That sounds.......really stupid. Kratos: 'Amid Ripping a hostile Phantom in Half.' The Boy is right for once, We are not doing that. That sounds like trickery of the Gods.
I had just finished my second year of college, was lying in my bed wth all my stuff packed up to drive back home coming tomorrow. I see this video in my feed and it completes me.
One day this video will be all the evidence that this game ever existed Also, the fact one of the featured items is a pair of shades called "future's so bright" feels almost cruel
yeah honestly, people say it 'ripped off' overwatch but it played almost completely different. With a few different design choices, like more skill focus as they promised it to be, or not changing the pay model from f2p, it could've lived and survived as a niche game. But because they were fucking idiots they tried to damage control and it ended up being a mix of a bunch of shit with a good game at its core, just not good enough that it outweighs the garbage.
Im mostly kidding when I say "rip-off", Because by that sense "everything is a ripoff of everything before it" From what I saw with LB it actullay looked decent, a much faster paced OW, but poorly marketed, and now, just forgotten. This looks terrible, and shallow, Im not even a Fortnite player, much less BR games in general, but this clearly took the "Hey Fortnite is now super mainstream and popular, and it has a wacky, cartoony aesthetic, lets just do that shit! Hopefully a famous Canadian rapper will play it and make us millions!"
Oh don't worry, it wasn't just poorly marketed, it had some bad design choices as well. But yeah, this one isn't even trying to hide the "shit we gotta make money, quick get the second hand-asset box, br is popular right now"
At 11:58 Pat says that you can't reload when you're sprinting and laughs, yet that's a basic feature in every game where it slows you down to balance it so you can't just fast reload after you lose an entire clip.
I think he meant to say that to Woolie, that "stop trying to run, you can't reload when you run, that's a basic thing...STAHP" Otherwise, yeah. Huge derp.
To be fair the elegant way of solving that would be to still let you reload but slow down the character, instead of keeping you from even starting the reload.
+LeaIsChill Its because they need to shit on the game because its the 'cool' thing to do right now. You can't go against the grain if you want the youtube bucks.
dre day they’ve gone ou and said around the time this game got announced that it’s had around 5 months worth of development at that time. So yeah it’s stupid early still. Not really sure why they wanted to show it off that early since it hurt them more than it helped it seemed. The guess would probably be the needed to raise funds quick to cover the loss from Lawbreakers hence the early release.
TroopperFoFo There'd be compelling storytelling in it too, if you think about it. Think about 100 kaiju battling it out to rule the same city or Monster Island or wherever, with some threatening zones being certain death from shit like volcanoes or storms, and some being things you can fight, like armies. Instead of weapons you pick what kind of kaiju you are and thus what your sort of arsenal is limited to, so rather than wasting too much time scavenging, you can immediately start employing whatever tactics your build goes for. Of course, nothing would stop you from grabbing whatever's nearby to bash another monster over the head with, but like any good kaiju, the more you pack the flashier you are, and the bigger a target you are for the other players.
Doesn’t it still play “Your the best around” when you win? Also silence during the match makes sense for the mechanics of the genre but doesn’t help the sort of theme they are going for with it trying to present itself as a flashy game show.
I hadn't heard of this game before this video so I jumped on google to find out what its deal is, and the first thing I see is an article that says "Radical Heights is *hemorrhaging* players." That's usually a good sign.
To be fair, this game is probably the "Most Early", a game can possibly be, and they probably released it onto early access the MOMENT they got a playable version running. But, something tells me it won't get much better, down the road.

LordQuadros not to mention, the literal trash pubg template
They went on one of those sites where you download royalty-free 3D models, put "80s" in the search bar, and just downloaded a BUNCH of them.
Actually, it has quite a bit of 80's in it. While the video doesn't really show it, the arcades have their own music (80's style), a lot of the sound effects towards the end of the match, the crowd as well, very 80's like with their shout outs when there's an "event", the announcer, all the cosmetics in the shop which you can earn / buy.

Everything became xbox-live community games, because of early access.

I wasn't prepared for this much Jank, this early in the day.... Please take it away!
And if you look down in this part of the comments, you'll find Hypno-Thorax embracing [Crazy Talk] by speaking ill of the dead.

Pat, playing as Woolie, on Matt's profile.
The ultimate fusion. . .of crap.
Pour one out.
And then drink the rest of the bottle to forget this game
There's a timeline where this game took off
no there isn't
Is that the timeline where Metal Gear Survive was a good idea?
So the darkest timeline?
That is f a l s e
No there isn't. It's like how every timeline, the Joestars and the Brando's are fated to fight. Radical Heights is fated to die in every timeline
24:20
"Guys...our channel is becoming a yellow zone"
oh no
I like how Pat sounds like it's literally hurting him to play this
Constant DoT for every second the keyboard is at Pat's fingertips.
He had no intent on giving it a fair shot, after all.
Gotta play it up.
I won't speak ill of the dead.
Literally the very comment you posted insulting this game is above this on my screen.
You made me laugh, thorax.
wouldn't this be more of a stillbirth? or are you talking about cliffy B's reputation as a credible game maker?
Who died?
This game didn't survive the time it took to edit the video.
Edit?
Radical Heights is totes bodacious, you brosefs are just mad grommets
Parity Time it's the gnarliest of rushes dude, totally tubular!
What the FUCK does Grommet mean?
Pretty sure that's some bald guy's yellow dog. Or is that Wallace?

Why.
Because the Mail-In Arc will never be over.
Be careful. That word killed Black Bolt's parents.
GunpowderCoffee To make a video
This is BEFORE 82% of players stopped playing this game.
KillScottKill Before twitch streamers and RUclipsrs got enough footage for a video
Cliffy B still plays it though. He'll never stop playing his failed games.
Are you telling me this is MORE empty now?
THEY SAW LIKE 7 PEOPLE IN THIS WHOLE VIDEO.
You know, this isnt the first battle royal game Cliffy B has made.
Lawbrakers started with 100 people and quickly had one
Xhotl - Underfuckingrated comment
this was a twitter post from someone and I loved it
I can't help but think, with that character design, that this is how far Captain Planet has fallen since the Planeteers stopped caring and started being actual 20-somethings with crippling debt and a general disregard for the environment.

OK KO or whatever that show is on Cartoon Network actually has this.
NO! STOP! HE'S ALREADY DEAD!
Dead Brain it was never alive though.
The train was built off the tracks... Sideways... On fire
We live in a sad reality where Radical Heights has more players now than Anarchy Reigns ever had in it's entirety.
Nurse Valentine It’s probably because Anarchy Reigns is a stupid title.
That's actually a fuckin cool ass title.
Because this was free and on PC
I still have my copy on ps3 sealed
gdog662 that will be majorly valuable
How does Vice City still look better than this.
Proper asset density. In this game, everything is way wide open, with very little objects to decorate the world.
Art direction
Because the 80's atmosphere was woven into the narrative of an actual game, and not a three-color texture pack for Fortnite. I mean, in that game you could talk on a cell phone, and it was real big. Like the EIGHTIES?
anxietydown Laziness, mostly.
That had Art Direction, this has Fart Direction.
This game is so broke just watching it lowered my credit score!

Ah, the fabled lost video.
I fuckin didn't know they made this video holy shit
I saw that Boss Key logo at the start and thought I was having a stroke and Vic from NBA 2K16 Presents: A Spike Lee Joing: Livin' Da Dream had a game company now posthumously
I expected the Saturday Night Scrublords intro.
An edited version where Woolie shuts and locks the door and the video ends ten seconds in.
Oh, Cliffy.
How the mighty have fallen.
Woolie: "Guys......our channel is becoming a yellow zone"
*one year after that*
......*sigh*........I hate how on point that ended up becoming :_(
Cliffy B had one good idea, it was called Gears of War and he shot that wad like twelve years ago. You can tell he's really trying to re-capture that popularity and praise, but he's got no creativity left in him so he's just aping everything that seems popular, without knowing WHY these things are popular and without trying to improve or add a twist to these popular things.

And that's my dumb idea that I came up with in like two minutes. I've put more thought into this than Cliffy B.
That's a really good idea !
That sounds like Friday the 13th but with a larger player base and i thinks thats radical.
HEY
HEY
DON'T FORGET ABOUT JAZZ JACKRABBIT.
But that's about it, since it was DE who made Unreal Tournament special.
That kinda sounds like what Escape From Tarkov is, from my short time playing it. I didn't like it that much, but it's at least trying something.
I think Cliffy B made some of the maps for the original Unreal SP campaign.
Is this the game where Kratos and BOI break out of prison using the power of performa?
KOWASHI OUT
ResidentSleeper22 real talk I would totally play that.
I can see how that game would start.
Phantom: You must stop them by using the power of Performa.
Atreus: That sounds.......really stupid.
Kratos: 'Amid Ripping a hostile Phantom in Half.' The Boy is right for once, We are not doing that. That sounds like trickery of the Gods.
Yes.
Watching this now, and hearing Woolie say "our channel is turning yellow..." That's some really unfortunate accidental foreshadowing.
Snugglebuns :’(
What do you mean?
@@music79075 2018 was the last year of the Super Best Friends.

When ripping off Overwtatch fails, Just fail at ripping off Fortnite!
The sad thing is that Lawbreakers was a legitimately good game. It just could never get a player base. This game is like a hundred steps backwards.
Probably because CliffyB put it on the PS4 where no-one would play it.
yeah honestly, people say it 'ripped off' overwatch but it played almost completely different. With a few different design choices, like more skill focus as they promised it to be, or not changing the pay model from f2p, it could've lived and survived as a niche game.

No, its because the "game" is shit.
*23 DAYS REMAIN*
this game was so clearly made in a month, how embarassing
dre day they’ve gone ou and said around the time this game got announced that it’s had around 5 months worth of development at that time. So yeah it’s stupid early still. Not really sure why they wanted to show it off that early since it hurt them more than it helped it seemed. The guess would probably be the needed to raise funds quick to cover the loss from Lawbreakers hence the early release.
It was made over the course of 3 yearsto be gears of war 5 and then the whole thing was trashed and this was made 2 weeks ago
It hurts...it hurts...it hurts it hurts IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS
This game was made by Quinn, just for you.
Francis York Morgan Flame Hyenard, what are you doing here?
Francis York Morgan ok grandma
BRAVO. What a daring choice of LP.
How long before Cliffy B comes in begging for them to play the game more like he did to other people before?
Whens my Godzilla Battle royal game. 100 monsters at once.
TroopperFoFo There'd be compelling storytelling in it too, if you think about it. Think about 100 kaiju battling it out to rule the same city or Monster Island or wherever, with some threatening zones being certain death from shit like volcanoes or storms, and some being things you can fight, like armies.

Oh I remember playing this way back in 2018. Almost forgot about it!
These are not ordinary heights
Vexxo how does a hight become so low
Those glorious stock UE4 animations.
If you listen closely you can hear pat losing the will to live
It sounds like a deflating balloon, only sadder.
worse than when he's watching paige failed at spacial relationship puzzles??
I like how Woolie sandbagged Matt's line about him being in the hot zone. We all know he hates anything about it.
I wonder how Cliffy's next interview will go?
BILLION. DOLLAR. IP!
I'm sure he'll make a great janitor at 7/11.
Angrily if I had to guess.
Remember to go give SWERY $1,000,000,000 to make up for this atrocity
The ChronoSim He hit his goal! No joke it was the happiest I've ever been to read a tweet.
I'm glad you guys finally brought back Mystery Box!
I just listened to the podcast today, so I'm extra happy this video made it up. This...is incredible.
It's so nice to see a completely original and really well made game come to life. How refreshing.
So The Good Life gets 12 minutes, but this gets a full episode? Ok.
Sad times indeed
To be fair, Good Life only had about 10-15 minutes worth of content anyway unless you just wanted to run around and try to break the game.
Good Life made it's goal and is gonna be more successful than this so you can expect to see more of it.
They'll probably revisit The Good Life, (it made it's goal BTW.) They're just taking the piss out of this.
It's surpassed it's goal.
It has been funded.
Still too early for female character models, but still time for microtransactions
Boy, I’m sure this nostalgia-based cash grab will endure through the ages
It didn't have to end like this, Cliff.
7:00 I love that Pat puts on a helmet and then takes a bike for a ride.
Well, look at that, the office really sank. INCLUDING Cliff B.'s office. Matt was right.
This is more effort and enthusiasm than this game deserves.
"The map is too small for anything but bikes. That's what makes it exciting. The lack of development resources."
Ah fuck that got be good Pat.
This is the kind of content we've all been hungering for.
Do you know why there is no Music? It's because twitch streamers would get flagged so they said "eh no music no problem"
They assumed this would be a billion dollar IP...
Doesn’t it still play “Your the best around” when you win? Also silence during the match makes sense for the mechanics of the genre but doesn’t help the sort of theme they are going for with it trying to present itself as a flashy game show.
An actual video game, coming soon!
MMM dat frame of T-pose as the menu scene loads. So good.
I have no witty banter or informative statement other than "Oh no!".
That counts as witty banter if it's a Knuckles reference
I sure as fuck read it like that.
I thought it was Captain Planet when I briefly glanced at the thumbnail. What the heck?
If Pat was playing this on one of his livestreams he'd have spent a thousand dollars by now.
Crazy Adam’s Discount Video Game Emporium!
I hadn't heard of this game before this video so I jumped on google to find out what its deal is, and the first thing I see is an article that says "Radical Heights is *hemorrhaging* players."

You made green haired Ansem... I don't know how to feel about this.

ORIGINAL ASSETS, DO NOT STEAL
To be fair, this game is probably the "Most Early", a game can possibly be, and they probably released it onto early access the MOMENT they got a playable version running. But, something tells me it won't get much better, down the road.
Did i just watch 28 minutes of pat spinning around in a lobby with a sence of right alliance captain planet?
Remember, this game lost 82% of its player-base. These are truly mad times we live in.

I love how at this point, Pat is just absolutely done with Cliffy's bullshit. I can hear the "I hate this man" in his voice but he doesn't say it.
"The definition of insanity, is, doing the exact same fucking thing over and over again, expecting shit to change. That. Is. Crazy."
Its like Monday Night Combat with all the fun sucked out

All this makes me want a Running Man game based on the movie.
They played it so we don't have to.
Woolie sees the character customizer and immediately falls in love.
