The big "they thought of everything" comes when you eventually skip a cutscene and it waits until the next measure of the track to throw you into gameplay so that you keep the rhythm. (I only discovered this this morning, after screwing up the final boss fight a number of times)
It's barely noticeable but the game will actually wait for the cutscene to start on beat. It's extremely subtle and truly astonishing how they did that
Utility bots should just stay away from combat, they have neither the hardware nor the programing that prepared them for violence. Also it's not cool to harm an utility bot that cannot defend itself
@@sweetieswifey627 same but since RDR2 I usally feel bad in Video Games when I hit NPC's for no reason 💀 But god damn the attention to detail is amazing in this game
I’m possibly wrong but, I think in cutscenes Chai attacks or moves in quarter notes, Peppermint attacks in eighth or sixteenth notes, while Macaron attacks and moves in whole notes and down beats
Finished it and its absolutely fantastic.. Great humor, gameplay and soundtrack. A new fresh original game that does something actually new made by a triple A studio??? Gues miracles do still exist. Here's hoping they continue with this kind of innovation.
@@MrRulet550 Made by Tango, one of Zenimax's subsidiaries (AKA the parent of Bethesda the publisher as well as Bethesda the game developer). They are the same guys that made the Evil Within games as well as Ghostwire, so it's probably fairly accurate to say they are a AAA studio than not

Honestly, I just love how the game’s overall ascetic, plot, and characters made me feel like I was a kid watching a Saturday morning cartoon again. Brought back nostalgic warm fuzzies 🥰
This cutscenes alone, can make new people want play the game, it shows how the game is comedic, fun, and how amazing the music is, not to mention the "on the beat" gameplay feels
I think the combat's a ton of fun, but after going through fight after fight. It was an absolute relief to get just a cutscene of watching Chai and the crew kick ass!
The game: Everything in the game and the world is to the beat Me: Oh neat. Me *after 5 minutes* : oh shit they weren't exaggerating. You know if nothing else this is like the ultimate portfolio for all of the devs working on this. If for whatever reason they want to leave or get fired I could see other studios (not just in gaming but animation in general) be eager to snatch them up. Microsoft better treat tango game works right. And on a different other note I would not complain if Microsoft wanted to commission an animated (maybe go full anime) adaption just to see a full show synced to the beat of its soundtrack like this. That would be wild.
Of course they are. Would be weird, if they weren't. That's why I almost suffered brain damage when one of them bugged for me and was completely out of sync (the one after Chai gets caught, the finger snapping one). Brrr, that was horrible experience.
The best example of this is actually the cutscene where Chai is rescued by 808 from the cell. If you follow the beat 808 makes when crawling through the ducts, she breaks through the grate EXACTLY on beat!
Hi fi rush is basically the sunset overdrive of the new gen consoles. Its just shows that finyou put effort into making your games taht they most likely turn out to be great and unique creations.
Funfact, even the little robot with the Vacuum cleaner goes with the beat anddd well he is actually plays before the music does so they had to keep that in mind too
Yeah but the difference is that everyone including the bad guys can hear the music Funny enough some robots don't notice the music because they were too busy with works
Why wouldn't they be? It's the core concept of the game. Ideally the devs want your actual gameplay to be synced too, so naturally the cutscenes are used as encouragement.
they care about money, they couldve done only gameplay synced and not cared about the little stuff or making you wait a sec when you skip cutscenes to resync the beat
wow a game in the 2020's without any corporate schmucky shits shoved into it like a battle pass or Live Game bullshittery updates? just pure content instantly for you after buying the game? Very pog i might buy the game myself... when its on a heavier discount im too fuckin poor
@@rushalias8511 this exactly, plus he can call all of them in whenever he wants so they still basically are on the field with him And in jam combos, and parry counters and even some special attacks too
If you're ever making a game here's a note: When that first guy said "GET HIM!", is the exact moment control should be returned to the player. You're playing a game, not watching a movie.
Yup thats an intentional detail! One of the animators that worked for the game told me that they were asked to do that. They animated 808 on Chai's shoulder in the scene where he's hanging!
@@sweetieswifey627 she happens to be one of my childhood best friends. I only found out because she told me how much fun she had animating 808 And she sent me a few short clips of her work as well, which was the scene i mentioned
the animators either had a lot of fun or a lot of headaches syncing the movements to the beat
I going ladder option
I think they had fun!
yes
@@jackcollins5394 latter
Both? Both. Both is good.
I remember noticing that Chai’s footsteps were moving to the beat in-game and I audibly had to go, “Wow. They really did think of everything!”
The big "they thought of everything" comes when you eventually skip a cutscene and it waits until the next measure of the track to throw you into gameplay so that you keep the rhythm.

@@jeffbrown3009 It does that between boss phases too, so those cutscenes are also synced to the beat. Marvelous work by the devs
@@jeffbrown3009 so that's why it says Please wait a sec when skipping the game
So it would fit the beats
Holy craaaaap
@@jeffbrown3009
WHAT, god the team is actually amazing
Well...chai did say that because his music player got fused with him it made everything sync up with beat of the music
It's barely noticeable but the game will actually wait for the cutscene to start on beat. It's extremely subtle and truly astonishing how they did that
love how he apologizes to the blue one after jumping on him.
Dude is a maintenance bot and has nothing to do with this. Emphasizes how sympathetic Chai is, he doesn't treat blue collar workers poorly.
@@ruffethereal1904 Omg, the blue collar bots are the only ones wearing mostly blue-

@@wilsonweiseng6485 I went around hitting most of them just to see all the dialogue 💀
@@sweetieswifey627 same but since RDR2 I usally feel bad in Video Games when I hit NPC's for no reason 💀
But god damn the attention to detail is amazing in this game
The amount of coordination between the storyboard artists, writers, and composers here is insane
I would watch an entire animated series of this, very very happily.
If the same kind of brilliant minds that made this put their efforts into it, it could easily happen. And I pray it does.
@@bmwright honestly that would be amazing
Definitely!
i would even read comic book
Yeah
I’m possibly wrong but, I think in cutscenes Chai attacks or moves in quarter notes, Peppermint attacks in eighth or sixteenth notes, while Macaron attacks and moves in whole notes and down beats
I thought Chai’s movements matched Half Notes on rapid movements and Quarter Notes on casual movements.
Peppermints gun attacks are triplet patterns
@@samziegelman1835 Chai and Peppermint's beats match their names. :)
@@castbet9183 like I said, possibly wrong
@@samziegelman1835
They aren’t tho. Not in this cutscene at least. They’re definitely sixteenths here
0:55 onward, every footstep and attack is synced to the beat PERFECTLY, and it is extremally crispy.
Finished it and its absolutely fantastic..
Great humor, gameplay and soundtrack.

Not to burst your bubble but.. it wasn't made by Bethesda, it was only published

@@MrRulet550 it was made by tango. a AAA studio with quite some games under its sleeve.
remember the evil within?
About that…
Honestly, I just love how the game’s overall ascetic, plot, and characters made me feel like I was a kid watching a Saturday morning cartoon again.
Brought back nostalgic warm fuzzies 🥰
Yeah
This reminds me of old synced stick figure animations. Those were always a treat to watch
I really hope the mechanic made it.
They got knocked out
Would’ve been cool if there was a revolution, all the mechanic dudes helping us out
Love how he only apologized to the one who was working on the lift when he bounced on his head.
2018: Hope they make better rythim games.
2023: Jamming to a kick-ass dope comic mama-jama CUTSCENE
Even when Chai is talking to an NPC, he's still in the rythm, but slower. He taps his foot skipping a beat. This game is amazing
This cutscenes alone, can make new people want play the game, it shows how the game is comedic, fun, and how amazing the music is, not to mention the "on the beat" gameplay feels
Literally everything syncs to the beat in this game I love it
Bro this is like a love letter to almost every synced fighting animation in history 😭
I cried when I first played this. I’ve finally found the best rhythm game ever. And I still do cry every now and then I can get enough of it
That shadowdrop is such a masterpiece
Everything being synced to the beat, walking, fights, cutscenes… makes it so satisfying to watch videos of the game.
Now we just wait for Edgar Wright to make a film adaptation!
Somebody needs to get a copy of this game to Edgar ASAP!!!
It's like Edgar Wright meets a Studio Trigger anime.
I think the combat's a ton of fun, but after going through fight after fight. It was an absolute relief to get just a cutscene of watching Chai and the crew kick ass!
True tbh, mainly because I did my first playthrough on hard 😅
I like how Chai was so nice to the workers ^_^
he apologized to the worker bot he stepped on XD
The game: Everything in the game and the world is to the beat
Me: Oh neat.
Me *after 5 minutes* : oh shit they weren't exaggerating.

I suck at rhythm games but I had a blast playing this game, it's easily the best game I ve played in 2023 atm
Well... yeah. That's the main selling point of the game. Everything is synced to the soundtrack
This deserves more recognition. Amazing
Everything about this scene is so perfectly on-point I haven't even been able to play the game yet and I can't stop rewatching it.
Man, good animation, style and all that rythm stuff, this game is really unic 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤟🤟😝😝😝🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's one of my favorite details about the game
Of course they are. Would be weird, if they weren't. That's why I almost suffered brain damage when one of them bugged for me and was completely out of sync (the one after Chai gets caught, the finger snapping one). Brrr, that was horrible experience.
This feels like a better version of RWBY than actual RWBY.
1:34 peppermint looks good on the back
Fr
the entire time i was thinking, "but i get to join in right"
If only Microsoft recognized the what they had on their hands instead of taking tango behind the barn with a 12-gauge.
It's ok, krafton bought the IP, let koreans show the Americans how to make a game
every time that guitar assembles it gives me goosebumps
I'd like to think that the way everyone just pops in and out to help Chai as Chai having his own personal techno genies to help him fight🤣
Didn't know that robots can be high
The best example of this is actually the cutscene where Chai is rescued by 808 from the cell. If you follow the beat 808 makes when crawling through the ducts, she breaks through the grate EXACTLY on beat!
It's like I'm watching Baby Driver...
Hi fi rush is basically the sunset overdrive of the new gen consoles. Its just shows that finyou put effort into making your games taht they most likely turn out to be great and unique creations.
So, is this one of the most cinematic cutscenes of the decade so far or what?
Funfact, even the little robot with the Vacuum cleaner goes with the beat anddd well he is actually plays before the music does so they had to keep that in mind too
This game is so damn cool! Just beat in normal, what a ride!
This is the Baby Driver of games
1:27 O…M…G… I love this game
amazing game
I like how peppermint hit reapers ult (from overwatch)
I noticed puss in boots 2's opening scene doing this. 2:40 for the official extended preview
I wonder if this game has Baby Driver vibes.
Yeah but the difference is that everyone including the bad guys can hear the music
Funny enough some robots don't notice the music because they were too busy with works
chai dressing up is clear homage to shawn of the dead. So similar directer style yes.
Yes, my thoughts during the whole game was that it is like if Edgar Wright directed a Studio Trigger anime.
Ina rhythm game, i'd hope the cutscenes were beat synced, otherwise, i'd lose it.
This game was just really fun from start to finish. The humor was pretty great at times too. I'm really glad I gave this game a shot.
I LOVE IT, IT DOESN'T TAKE YOU AWAY
Some serious FLCL vibes I like it.
Yeah, totally get Studio Trigger meets Edgar Wright vibes.
If this doesn't win GOTY I will lose faith in the system.
Real
Bold of you to have faith in the system in the first place.
Such a good game love it so much
"sorry m8"
This cutscene is perfect for a trailer!
I’m just now noticing this, it makes me like the game more.
Just wait until the final boss
HOLY SHOOT SUPER STRONG CONTENDER FOR GOTY.....
Danm it bro why are all the women on our team so danm hoooooottttt
Nice moment, Two-hands
Anyone notice that the large bot’s voice is like an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression?
this game is joy
Why wouldn't they be? It's the core concept of the game. Ideally the devs want your actual gameplay to be synced too, so naturally the cutscenes are used as encouragement.
Because a lot of studios and publishers would have not cared
@@highfighter219er5 I think any and every studio would care _when it's literally the point of their game._ 😐
@@CognizantCheddar its something we dont expect cause of how low our expectations have become over time with new games i guess
they care about money, they couldve done only gameplay synced and not cared about the little stuff or making you wait a sec when you skip cutscenes to resync the beat
@@ArcDemon74096 It's easy to sync a cutscene. *Because it's a cutscene.* So, again, there was no logical reason at all _not_ to do that.
It's still hard to believe that this is from the Evil Within studio
this whole section is pretty much like if it was supposed to be an early gameplay or demo of the game tbh
i keep forgetting this isnt a 2d animated cinematic and is entirely in engine
This game is what would happen if Edgar Wright directed a Studio Trigger anime.
Chai said sorry to the sleepy robot only
Knowing that he is harmless
Ps. I havent play the game yet
wow
a game in the 2020's without any corporate schmucky shits shoved into it like a battle pass or Live Game bullshittery updates? just pure content instantly for you after buying the game? Very pog i might buy the game myself... when its on a heavier discount im too fuckin poor
Its free on xbox gamepass.
And 30 dollars normally
I know right? It's one of a kind
30 bucks too much for you?
Vandelay? They work for Vandelay? I think it's a sign!
Vandelay Industries?
Wait, this is a game? I kept seeing it in thumbnails and thought it was a TV show.
Hi Fi Rush
Always has been..
If Peppermint is that strong, why does she let Chai to fight everything?? lol
Time? Chai seems to be quite adept at fighting so if he fights she can divert her attention to other things.
@@rushalias8511 this exactly, plus he can call all of them in whenever he wants so they still basically are on the field with him

steam or xbox
@@sapiterguncang768 Its also on the epic games store
It'd on gamepass
It is not like that was difficult to do...
I KNOWWWWWWWWWWW
2:02 what's the name of the song that plays here?
It says the name of the song near the beginning before the fight starts
Literally "Breadwinners"
looking at this shit made my eyes hurt
Release it for playstation pleassse
The Rhythm League Says:
“Oh Crap. We’ve got a new rival!”
“And we thought that “Bits and Bops” would be the end of us.”
“SUPERB!!!”
A lot of game and movie synch their music to what's on screnn. Nothing new.
Nobody said this was new
If you're ever making a game here's a note:
When that first guy said "GET HIM!", is the exact moment control should be returned to the player.
You're playing a game, not watching a movie.
This cutscene is done after you literally go through a guantlet of fights. Also you literally get into another one after this cutscene.
Did you even play the game
What you said is literally happens in the beginning... Like, right when you first play it
