Each one id say is worth a video/breakdown too tbh, every one of those is incredible (minus the few short ones, they are still awesome just a bit short compared to bloodhounds/wraiths)
20:00 To satisfy your curiosity, the lady with the box and jetpack you compared to the titan-fall character; is the daughter of the man who also could fly in titan fall 2. Ashe from Titanfall 2 was also in that trailer.
I have the faint hope that, somehow, they will make the apex story line come to a close around season 30 or so and tie it in to the launch / reveal of TF3. Yes I know thats unrealistic, let me at least dream.
As a big apex enjoyer, i want to give some recomendations and context. First of all, there are also videos, called stories from the outlands. They are also cinematic trailers, but they focus on characters backstories and lore. You most definitely should watch them. Also, for the context of the universe, this is all happening after titanfall 2, the war is over and now Blisk, the guy, who was the head of apex predators in titanfall 2, is the director of the apex games. It is a blood sport, where legends fight eachother on a big map. This is still just a show, so they dont actually kill eachother (there is no official explanation on how that works, but lets say its a fancy tech), and the winner gets a lot of money. There is a strict selection, so not everyone can join it. Matches are happening regularly, and legends, well, at least most of them are actually good friends. All of them have different back stories and reasons they joined the games, and these stories are covered, again, in the stories from the outlands.
Also, about the gameplay itself, it does not look like that, its close to titanfall visually. About the characters, they were adding 1 character per season, but they slowed down with that now, because it was simply too much
By the way, gameplay is quite a bit different, that they show here. If you want to see the actual gameplay, they also have gameplay trailers. But mind that these are not exactly cinematic
Also, important thing, they have a big story ark called kill code, its not included in their stories from the outlands playlist, so dont forget to check it out as well@@kaizammit
One big thing to mention if you haven't played the game. Each season (trailer), Respawn Entertainment include little easter eggs or tributes to the community by including tactics or plays that players do in the game. Like certain movement tricks or character abilities used in cool ways.
The thing about Apex trailers is that they are in order. What I mean is that every trailer, whether cinematic launch, Stories from the Outlands(SFTO), or Gameplay trailer, they are all in order. So for the bits a pieces that you don’t understand, it’s because it was covered in a different type of trailer. The order normally goes STFO, Launch Cinematic, then Gameplay trailer. In addition there are also lore bit in the event trailers for the game as well. I recommend looking for a playlist that has ALL Apex trailers. You’ll see a mix of different art styles but that’s the only way to get the full story.
Revenant ( Red robot ) is a Simulacrum just like Ash from Titanfall 2. A simulacrum is a robotic soldier who has their human minds uploaded into robotic bodies. Hense why Revenant looked like a Human but in reality he is a robot.
@@kaizammitOne thing he forgot to say is the entire time revenent thought he was still human Until he killed loba's parents And had a piece of glass lodge into him Another thing A big difference between him and ash is ash is a fully robotic with a human brain who still has the personality of her original human side Fighting with the robotic side And with revenant He is still alive technically but he is just a head in a portable glass dome that essentially keeps him alive and under control by whoever has the head One of the seasons recently he got his head back and they haven't elaborated On it further But He can now control every other simulachrome in an individual body So it's kind of like Halo with the A.I Every single AI of a certain kind is a piece of a real human That once lived that was divided down Into different pieces for different uses The big difference is every single revenant hates the other one So in most cases when they meet they immediately try to kill each other But with him getting the head back he is become almost at peace in a way that he can control every single individual body no matter the distance whether its the same planet or other worlds he's just really cool Out of all the characteristics he probably has the most story lore Is and to answer your question no the game is not like that It's more Like titanfall's animation but a tiny bit more cartoony It's hard to describe, to be honest, like I'm literally playing right now and I'm looking at my character and I can see the similarities from the trailers But the design is almost completely different Animation wise
Okay so for some context, the reboot system in apex is actually based after the regen system that Titan pilots can do. They can erase some memories but keep some, however the reboot system essentially just remakes the legend and redeploys them. It’s a hard system to explain.
For gameplay, yeah. But, it was stated years ago that the legends we see and interact with are just the participants who don't die and are the most famous in the lore. Most people who participate don't die either, I guess they just get knocked out(?)
@@Mewwnii yeah it’s all over the place, however given all the techno magic based in the apex/titanfall universe literally anything is possible. Like literally time travel, dimension hopping and all that jazz.
In the Titanfall universe there's regeneration chambers that pilots can choose to use after years of fighting. It basically heals their wounds and "resets" the pilot. But there's some memory loss side effects. I imagine since this is within the same universe that they have regen chambers as well. Or something similar
Octane has a voice line that says "Have fun in the respawn chamber" or something similar to that. Dont remember the exact quote but he does mention respawn chambers (not just regen, respawn) so maybe the tech has advanced more
10:26 from what I know, that guy is a simulacrum...which is a human consciousness inside of a robotic body. Pretty taboo and experimental in the universe. I believe his backstory is that he was lied to, blockers put in his brain that make him think he's still a human assassin. That jagged piece of glass basically broke the blocker by causing a paradox in his brain that made him see the reality of the simulation...that he was a tool of Hammond Industries.
yeah he kinda thought they just made him super human and he was lied to... they also deleted his memorys after every mission so he would not remember for how long he was doing it. every time he was send it was for him like "hey here is your first mission good luck"
Kai, is there any chance of you doing a reaction to the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers? I know that it’s not gaming related but it’s a cinematic masterpiece and an absolute MUST watch.
Hey! It's not something that would ever live on here... At the moment. TV, Films and Anime live exclusively on Patreon and I would love to watch it, just down to timings tbh. This is why I introduced The Grand Master Tier to make sure I cover what you guys want me to see now, a personal request so to speak. What did you love about that show please?
@@kaizammit Band of Brothers came out in 2001 so a lot of the cinematography was unique. But most importantly it follows the real life events of Easy Company of the US 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division during WW2, a unit that suffered some of the highest casualties of the division from D Day to the end of the war.
Each season usually adds 1 new legend and 1-2 new guns. As well as either a new map or a change to the existing map. In game when you die, if a teammate is still alive they can grab your banner off your body and respawn you at "respawn points"
You popped up in my recommended today and I enjoyed this video a lot as a day one Apex Legends player! I know you've read this a billion times but I absolutely cannot wait for you to see the stories from the outlands! They answer all the questions you seem to have.
Basically each one of these trailers shows additions or changes to the game for each season, be that new characters with their abilities, new weapons, map changes (things blowing up, the landslide, ...), or features (PvE with the Prowlers and spiders on the new map, ...). Sprinkled therein are bits of background lore (that's also explained in the "Stories from the Outlands" video series, comics, in-game easter eggs, ...) like rivalries between characters etc. The whole "dying in the Apex games" thing has never been explained so far.
I think you noticed it a little, but the animation studio changed in the switch from Season 8 to Season 9 because their old studio, the Mill, had such bad labor laws that it drove an employee to suicide, and Respawn did not want to support that.
Apex has no weather system but every trailer shows weather system in apex, that why apex looks cooler with realtime world disasterous cinematics octane could walk on water but there ain't no dept in water in apex, crypto 6:50 can actually stun people with its drone that ain't his ultimate, revenant has alot more Bodyarmour in the trailer but they give him a silence as tactica, fuse his tactical is more like this 20:18
Hey Kai they have always had three trailers before the new seasons. The stories from the Outlands trailer which is done in different animation styles and introduces us to a new legend (you learn that the girl you thought was viper is his daughter).The launch trailers which you just watched all done in the same style. Then the gameplay trailers which showcase the actual gameplay. There are also stories from outlands trailers that were released in the middle of the seasons that fleshed out some legends you played as.
50:03 she gains her power from ion cells she took from a broken down titan which if you pause when she opens her hud it says battery integrity and toxicity levels because the batteries she uses are slowly killing her thats what causes her greenish veins its the chemicals leaking into her
It's rever really explained in the lore how they respawn, but the most sensible explanation is that their medical tech is so good they are able to recover from most injuries, but death is still a possibility
Every time a new character releases a trailer comes before it by a week usually and the game has a huge story line that comes through stories from the outlands, launch trailers and other trailers. A lot is also revealed through conversation during gameplay. Apex Legends is a battle royale with other game modes too but the main mode is BR. The Legends are aware of respawning.
For the “what happens when they die” part of the game. There’s multiple modes with different ways of continuing the game the current original goes as such; When you’re KNOCKED (down and unable to fight or do anything) you can be revived (a teammate can assist you to get you back up and in the fight) When you’re fully killed by either falling off a map or have been shot whilst knocked or a finisher move was performed on you (a finishing move that takes 3-5 seconds but you’re open to being hit during so in which case if you are the finisher ends and the *knocked* person remains alive but knocked) **got off track there** anyway when you’re fully killed in any of the multiple ways your teammates can either go to where you died within a certain timeframe from your death to obtain your respawn card from your death box then head to a respawn device which are scattered throughout the map (there are also mobile respawn devices which you can carry and deploy anywhere there is a direct sight to the sky above) a small redeploy ship will come and bring you back into the fight with the guns you died with but none of the attachments. So long as you have the/both respawn cards you can bring your team back in the same ship. There are other modes where you can automatically redeploy after death after a short cool down (typically 10-15 seconds) as many times as you want so long as one member of the team exists, if you all happen to die before another of your team has respawned then the game ends for you
the first 10 minutes of this absolutly breaks my heart because i wish i could back to my first day .... the amount of memories ive made with this game and all the cinamatics dude ... this was a fucking time period to be there for
Many people have said, but you did miss the stories of the outlands videos. They take place before each cinematic. It adds so much more context flare to the story you’re witnessing.
you should defiantly watch the tales from the outlands videos to see more in depth lore on the characters, also there were separate actual gameplay trailers released along side each one of launch trailers to show how each new character, map, weapon or whatever was added in that season works/looks in the actual games context
I don’t know if you discovered this during your editing process, but the animation studio switched to a different one from the Season 9 trailer onwards (Valkyrie’s introduction).
I think you should give mirrors edge catalyst gameplay and trailers a watch, its a very aesthetically pleasing game to look at and video would be great to watch.
53:00 I know i've commented a lot But this one is because her whole origin story is from Ash Horizon was once a scientist who at one point with ash when she was still a human Went to the closest black hole They could ever go to To harvest these kinds of crystals which can be used as a power source for many planets However, ash ended up, leaving her alone to get sucked into the black hole Which sent her to the future by about two hundred years So that whole few promised is her trying to get back to her son Which has been brought up a few times especially recently So that item she was looking at was the prototype from titanfall two , that would send you back and fourth in time I don't know if you played it But that is one of the big things that is used for titanfall two Is that the main character jack cooper uses
You should watch the stories from the Outlands it goes a bit more into detail about the characters back story’s and reasons for being in the game there basically short films
Valkyrie (the one with the jetpack) is the daugther of Viper from Titanfall 2. You gotta watch the Stories of the Outlines shorts for Apex, they are amazing. Especially Valk's.
If you're interested in the lore, the order they release the Trailers, both launch and stories from the outlands gives a decent overview. Theres more they would put out during the season in game, and in game character interactions. Unfortunately though, it seems the have strayed from their usual trailer release cycle in the last 2-3 seasons.
the gameplay does and doesn't look like this, a lot more real but it does still have that cartoony feel. Tales from the Outlands gives you a lot of background of these characters
I wouldn't say any of the works were based in each other, but the Apex Legends art style came before Arcane became a thing. I believe that they took this style for being cheaper to produce, and stuck with it since the fan base liked it.
Yeah like you said. Just make a TV show or Movie already. We've said it to Respawn a lot of times. They are already releasing "Tales From the Outlands" already and I fucking love it. But it still felt like shorts where they show the Lore from the characters rather than a complete lore series or a movie for specific arc.
Hope to see you do the Tales from the Outlands shorts as well!! Love seeing the apex cinematics getting the respect they deserve! Even if the game itself isn’t handled great by EA :/
Yeah, they did change studios, but i think the drop in quality has more to do with time crunch than anything really. But to add to the hate for the new studio, the writing for their trailers (for me atleast) is way more cringy than funny, unlike the older ones.
If you liked those you should really watch the Stories From The Outlands, they’re actual cinematic short films going into each characters back story and reason to join the Games !
The player count has basically cratered after they effectively doubled the battlepass price by splitting seasons in half while charging the same price as the original pass without increasing the amount of content, while also increasing the price of just about everything. Their player base on Steam was averaging around ~450K before the change to now around ~150K and dropping in less than a year. It's interesting that you could pickup that something wasn't right just from the trailer composition.
Personally, the trailers are what actually made me wanna play the game. Season 4, Revenant the robot who thought he was a man, was so cool that I downloaded the game simply because of him. My brother has been playing the game since its release but I thought it looks boring until that trailer. I have ALWAYS wanted a TV show.
Hope you come back to this game and see the Stories From The Outlands. Btw I've been loving the God of War Reactions, glad you've enyoyed it as much as I did.
Okay, to make it simple for you friend, the game consists of a battle royale, 60 teams consisting each of three members and its the apex games that choose whos gonna be with who, (apart from in the game, you can choose who ever you like) and they fight to get top one, and it's called the apex games, made by the syndicate (if you are interested,I think they're might be things about them) now for your questions, yes, every season comes a new legend but right now, they stopped doing that and they made updates for the game (but i think they will bring back the every new season new character again), big changes, two, yes everytime the match ends, the people that died get back to life, I don't know how but like yeah 😐and third answer for your question on 41:26, yes, every character has an ability and the guns are just for fighting, the guns are all over the Map, and the abilities are specifically for the character, okay forth question, the guy with the glasses is the father of the guy that has a mask(octane), silva, he is in accords with the syndicate and he is "the apparent villain" of the story, 42:56, they are called legends
You missed some pretty important ones from your video analysis here there is the horizon trailer which has a lot of back story for horizon and ash characters also the Valkyrie trailer which shows here back story so that would explain your slight gap in the back story’s you should check them out they are some of the best tbh the Valkyrie one is a fav for me
If you want to see this game made to be more like a movie / series there is the apex legends stories from the outlands which gives some background on the characters in a short film style theres also a short series called Kill code which is a 4 part series of i think 20 - 30 minute episodes which you should also def check out for the stories of the outlands there are compilations available not too sure about kill code but its only 4 parts and they are labeled properly so it shouldnt be too difficult but you should definetly check them out if you enjoyed these trailers they are 100x better.
Kai if you watch the cinematic NORTHSTAR you will not be disappointed ..... at least imo that opens up the understanding of Valkyrie and who she really is which will be a HUGE reveal
Is there any shows in this style, I've seen spiderman across the spiderverse (I think thats the one) and I've seen arcane on Netflix, anybody know any others?
@kaizammit uh yes I forgot about that, i have watched it but I'm biased to the 2007 movie where Ralph was doing that vigilanti thing in the black suit cause I grew up with that 😅
@kaizammit while I'm on the topic, love death and robots had a few episodes like it idk if it'd be possible to react to it cause of copyright but its a super good watch if you haven't seen it. Also cyberpunk edge runners comes to mind
well if I think about it, Apex and Arcane were being made around the same time I think so I dont know if Apex took inspiration from it, but maybe they kinda inspired each other
@ I love your content man, as an actor I appreciate too much your insights on the cinematography, it’s huge for us to know about all this, we can make people feel more, also your authenticity makes it a lot better 🙌
We’ve been begging EA/Respawn for YEARS to make an Apex Legends TV show or movie. After the success of Arcane, they are just leaving so much money on the table 😩
Late to the party but I'll give some more context especially in case you decide to react to the stories of the outlands,which are basically mini movies focused on specific characters to tell their backstories. I'll first talk about the overall world of titanfall and apex but if you want just explanation about the apex games then you can just skip to thatpart I'll mark it. When humanity developped the technology to reach the stars,quickly a part of it sent of to colonize further systems inside our galayxy,so we had what we call The core,made of the world surroundings earth,and then we have the Frontier,world much further away and outside of the influence of the core system. For dozens of years the frontier was totally ignored by the rest of humanity as they didnt have any way of communicating with them,they could all have been dead and nobody would ever know. But at some point the IMC,an important manufactering entreprise in the core system,decided to take contact with the frontier again and discovered a lot of habited world filled with ressources and potential trade,as well as a lot of people in need of a job. So they quickly took over,turning villages into cities,worlds into mining facilities. of course you can imagine that a giant corporation that suddendly discover entire worlds ready to be exploited and a lot of people unnorganized without anything to protect them,well,it was much more messy and brutal than anything. So quickly people started fighting back,leading to the creation of the Milicia,originally it was mostly bandits and outlaw as well as civilians that filled the ranks,but it was a start. And the first titan war began,called like so due to the titans you saw in Titanfall 2,multi usage mecha used in basically any field,and you can easily imagine that a civilian is suddendly much more dangerous when inside a nuclear powered robot of multiple ton. The milicia quickly "lost" the war,it was still active but the IMC had too much of a hold on the frontier,for now. Cue the second titan war that take place in titanfall 1&2 The milicia win by destroying the last communication relay capable of talking with the core system,follow a few years of chasing the remnants of the IMC and cleaning the frontier,with the battle of Typhon that take place in titanfall 2 And for now,the IMC hasnt been seen again. We're not sure why the titans are basically gone now,they're still probably used on farmworlds or things like that but STORY OF THE APEX GAMES (without spoiling the story of the outlands) Kuben Blisk,leader of the Apex predators (the group of mercenary seen in TF2) create the Apex games,at first it's just a bloodsport,people come to fight and often people die in the arena. Tho it quickly grow popular along the level of civilisation of the outlands. The travel between worlds become more and more easier ,as well as television,and this all take place in the Outlands,a cluster of planets on the edge of the frontier. As the apex games grow we start to see appearing Legends,popular fighters no matter their skill,often comming with a gimmick or a special tech or skill,and those are our playable characters. legend help to make the popularity of the game grow faster,quickly the real weapons turn into non-lethal ones,shields are common grounds and the cashprize as well as the number of competitor grow exponentially. So a few things here to explain the difference between the lore and what we see in the cinematic : -Legends fighting each other is actually a rare sight,each games can take days and they're filled to the brim with randos you'll never talk about. -death are really rare now,with non-lethal weapons and easier rules,if you're out of the fight you're out of the game. We know this because Lifeline (the black girl with the two buns) goes to the hospital after the game to bring food and some heal to those she injured. We also have some hints of high tech medecine in form of pods but they're probably for the more wealthier competitor like the legends. -BlisK will stay in command for a while and can give invitation similar to the one we see at the end of the last trailer that give access directly to the harder apex games -legends relationships depend on each,some knew from before they joined the game,other dont,some are friend other ennemies,some lovers ect. The easier exemple being the scary red robot guy and the girl with her cane Later on,blisk will leave it's place as the head of the apex game and let the Syndicate take over,as ceo,we have Eduardo Silva(the guy with red round glasses),father of octane (the speedy guy you see die in every cinematic) (which is actually his grandfather,toress silva took the name and role of eduardo when he died out of love). From here it get a bit blurry especially if you dont talk about the legends,but here are the main actors in this story : -the syndicate :Owner of the apex game and want as much power and control they can over the outlands -Salvo : A planet that's still resisting the influence of the syndicate,that's why we saw Maggie (the punk girl that took of a chunk of a guard throat in the airship) get sent to the apex games to be killed (that's where it get weird on if it's an actual bloodgame or not,my guess is that if you don't have money to pay for the healthcare,you're screwed) -the legends : All of them have different goal and different reasons of being here,some are just there for their family,some for the money,some to try to save planets,some for fun.
I've always said what you're saying - Titanfall and Apex should really have an Arcane-type series 😍 Also, you should watch Tales from the Outlands shortfilms - they explain more of the backstory for each character! Edit: I see now you've already planned it. And you won't regret it 🙌

Was about to mention it, there are A LOT more mate. :D
Each one id say is worth a video/breakdown too tbh, every one of those is incredible (minus the few short ones, they are still awesome just a bit short compared to bloodhounds/wraiths)
Agreed. So much to see and experience in even just one of them.
Apex is horribly managed, they only care about money and DEI horse crap.
Yes!!!!
20:00 To satisfy your curiosity, the lady with the box and jetpack you compared to the titan-fall character; is the daughter of the man who also could fly in titan fall 2. Ashe from Titanfall 2 was also in that trailer.

He was one of the people u had to defeat during the campaign
10:53 As a grieving fan, that was *_INCREDIBLY_* uncalled for
Yeah… that one hurts.. that one hurts 😭
I have the faint hope that, somehow, they will make the apex story line come to a close around season 30 or so and tie it in to the launch / reveal of TF3.

not just any simulacrum. hes THE first simulacrum. hes about 320 years old
Kai, is there any chance of you doing a reaction to the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers? I know that it’s not gaming related but it’s a cinematic masterpiece and an absolute MUST watch.
Hey! It's not something that would ever live on here... At the moment. TV, Films and Anime live exclusively on Patreon and I would love to watch it, just down to timings tbh. This is why I introduced The Grand Master Tier to make sure I cover what you guys want me to see now, a personal request so to speak.
What did you love about that show please?
@@kaizammit Band of Brothers came out in 2001 so a lot of the cinematography was unique. But most importantly it follows the real life events of Easy Company of the US 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division during WW2, a unit that suffered some of the highest casualties of the division from D Day to the end of the war.
Each season usually adds 1 new legend and 1-2 new guns. As well as either a new map or a change to the existing map.
In game when you die, if a teammate is still alive they can grab your banner off your body and respawn you at "respawn points"
appreciate doing Apex! one of my absolute favourites for all the reasons you have mentioned!
cheers love!
You popped up in my recommended today and I enjoyed this video a lot as a day one Apex Legends player! I know you've read this a billion times but I absolutely cannot wait for you to see the stories from the outlands! They answer all the questions you seem to have.
Basically each one of these trailers shows additions or changes to the game for each season, be that new characters with their abilities, new weapons, map changes (things blowing up, the landslide, ...), or features (PvE with the Prowlers and spiders on the new map, ...). Sprinkled therein are bits of background lore (that's also explained in the "Stories from the Outlands" video series, comics, in-game easter eggs, ...) like rivalries between characters etc. The whole "dying in the Apex games" thing has never been explained so far.
22:40 that line is said by her father in titanfall 2 "when you get to hell tell them viper sent you dodge this"
I think you noticed it a little, but the animation studio changed in the switch from Season 8 to Season 9 because their old studio, the Mill, had such bad labor laws that it drove an employee to suicide, and Respawn did not want to support that.
Apex has no weather system but every trailer shows weather system in apex, that why apex looks cooler with realtime world disasterous cinematics octane could walk on water but there ain't no dept in water in apex, crypto 6:50 can actually stun people with its drone that ain't his ultimate, revenant has alot more Bodyarmour in the trailer but they give him a silence as tactica, fuse his tactical is more like this 20:18
Hey Kai they have always had three trailers before the new seasons. The stories from the Outlands trailer which is done in different animation styles and introduces us to a new legend (you learn that the girl you thought was viper is his daughter).The launch trailers which you just watched all done in the same style. Then the gameplay trailers which showcase the actual gameplay. There are also stories from outlands trailers that were released in the middle of the seasons that fleshed out some legends you played as.
50:03 she gains her power from ion cells she took from a broken down titan which if you pause when she opens her hud it says battery integrity and toxicity levels because the batteries she uses are slowly killing her thats what causes her greenish veins its the chemicals leaking into her
It's rever really explained in the lore how they respawn, but the most sensible explanation is that their medical tech is so good they are able to recover from most injuries, but death is still a possibility
The stories from the outlands will give you more story and an amazing art style recommend you watch them all, "the old ways" will blow you MIND
Every time a new character releases a trailer comes before it by a week usually and the game has a huge story line that comes through stories from the outlands, launch trailers and other trailers. A lot is also revealed through conversation during gameplay. Apex Legends is a battle royale with other game modes too but the main mode is BR. The Legends are aware of respawning.
For the “what happens when they die” part of the game.
There’s multiple modes with different ways of continuing the game the current original goes as such;
When you’re KNOCKED (down and unable to fight or do anything) you can be revived (a teammate can assist you to get you back up and in the fight)
When you’re fully killed by either falling off a map or have been shot whilst knocked or a finisher move was performed on you (a finishing move that takes 3-5 seconds but you’re open to being hit during so in which case if you are the finisher ends and the *knocked* person remains alive but knocked) **got off track there** anyway when you’re fully killed in any of the multiple ways your teammates can either go to where you died within a certain timeframe from your death to obtain your respawn card from your death box then head to a respawn device which are scattered throughout the map (there are also mobile respawn devices which you can carry and deploy anywhere there is a direct sight to the sky above) a small redeploy ship will come and bring you back into the fight with the guns you died with but none of the attachments. So long as you have the/both respawn cards you can bring your team back in the same ship.
There are other modes where you can automatically redeploy after death after a short cool down (typically 10-15 seconds) as many times as you want so long as one member of the team exists, if you all happen to die before another of your team has respawned then the game ends for you
Love this dude's reaction. Face cam not in the way. Good audio. Funny as all hell. I have to sub what can i say? 10/10 reaction.
Something tells me you will LOVE the Stories From The Outlands "Northstar"
the first 10 minutes of this absolutly breaks my heart because i wish i could back to my first day .... the amount of memories ive made with this game and all the cinamatics dude ... this was a fucking time period to be there for
Many people have said, but you did miss the stories of the outlands videos. They take place before each cinematic. It adds so much more context flare to the story you’re witnessing.
You're watching cutscenes but there are full short films as well on the official channel
you should defiantly watch the tales from the outlands videos to see more in depth lore on the characters, also there were separate actual gameplay trailers released along side each one of launch trailers to show how each new character, map, weapon or whatever was added in that season works/looks in the actual games context
I don’t know if you discovered this during your editing process, but the animation studio switched to a different one from the Season 9 trailer onwards (Valkyrie’s introduction).
A personalidade do mirage me fez começar a jogar com ele, sua gameplay divertida me fez continuar
This was awesome, great insight and great video
I think you should give mirrors edge catalyst gameplay and trailers a watch, its a very aesthetically pleasing game to look at and video would be great to watch.
If you haven't already I would recommend watching the apex legends stories from the outlands. There amazing
At 20:00 when you ask about them being Viper, she is in fact Viper’s Daughter!
53:00 I know i've commented a lot But this one is because her whole origin story is from Ash Horizon was once a scientist who at one point with ash when she was still a human Went to the closest black hole They could ever go to To harvest these kinds of crystals which can be used as a power source for many planets However, ash ended up, leaving her alone to get sucked into the black hole Which sent her to the future by about two hundred years So that whole few promised is her trying to get back to her son Which has been brought up a few times especially recently So that item she was looking at was the prototype from titanfall two , that would send you back and fourth in time I don't know if you played it But that is one of the big things that is used for titanfall two Is that the main character jack cooper uses
You should consider checking out Murder Drones
You should watch the stories from the Outlands it goes a bit more into detail about the characters back story’s and reasons for being in the game there basically short films
Valkyrie (the one with the jetpack) is the daugther of Viper from Titanfall 2. You gotta watch the Stories of the Outlines shorts for Apex, they are amazing. Especially Valk's.
waited for this video
If you're interested in the lore, the order they release the Trailers, both launch and stories from the outlands gives a decent overview. Theres more they would put out during the season in game, and in game character interactions.
Unfortunately though, it seems the have strayed from their usual trailer release cycle in the last 2-3 seasons.
11:15 “She filled out” LMAO
In response to your question about if the game is dying /less popular now, that is very collect, much less people play now
Stories from the Outlands please
This game had me so hyped early on, still love it but it is an experience now whenever i go back to it
You should definitely keep watching the World of Warcraft cinematics. They’re so so good
the gameplay does and doesn't look like this, a lot more real but it does still have that cartoony feel. Tales from the Outlands gives you a lot of background of these characters
Watch Tales from the Outlands if you want deeper storytelling!!
I wouldn't say any of the works were based in each other, but the Apex Legends art style came before Arcane became a thing. I believe that they took this style for being cheaper to produce, and stuck with it since the fan base liked it.
Each character has an intro trailer you should watch as well. These are just the new season trailers.
Yeah like you said. Just make a TV show or Movie already. We've said it to Respawn a lot of times. They are already releasing "Tales From the Outlands" already and I fucking love it. But it still felt like shorts where they show the Lore from the characters rather than a complete lore series or a movie for specific arc.
Hope to see you do the Tales from the Outlands shorts as well!! Love seeing the apex cinematics getting the respect they deserve! Even if the game itself isn’t handled great by EA :/
20:15 that is the daughter of Viper in Titanfall 2, “Valkyrie”
I just want to thank you for not pausing at all ❤ It gets annoying when other creators consistently pause.
Exactly the reason I don't stop even when I'm talking 😂
Apex cinematics used to be such masterpiece, but they changed the studio that made them and new ones are so lame and awful, it is very sad
Yeah, they did change studios, but i think the drop in quality has more to do with time crunch than anything really.
But to add to the hate for the new studio, the writing for their trailers (for me atleast) is way more cringy than funny, unlike the older ones.
Every few months was a new Season and with that a new Legend dropped. So you see how they look and basically their abilities :D
If you liked those you should really watch the Stories From The Outlands, they’re actual cinematic short films going into each characters back story and reason to join the Games !
You missed the season 18 trailer (it's the Kill Code Part 2, I'm pretty sure)
I'm going to cover all of Kill Code separately so stay tuned!
@@kaizammit ok
Dont know if you done it, but watch Apex legends Stories from the Outlands
30:00 I think the people who made the trailer remixed the song. I could be wrong.
Valkyrie said the same thing as her dad “When you get to hell, tell em Viper sent you”
Would highly suggest checking out Apex Legends Stories from the Outlands: Fight Night.
The player count has basically cratered after they effectively doubled the battlepass price by splitting seasons in half while charging the same price as the original pass without increasing the amount of content, while also increasing the price of just about everything. Their player base on Steam was averaging around ~450K before the change to now around ~150K and dropping in less than a year. It's interesting that you could pickup that something wasn't right just from the trailer composition.
Personally, the trailers are what actually made me wanna play the game. Season 4, Revenant the robot who thought he was a man, was so cool that I downloaded the game simply because of him. My brother has been playing the game since its release but I thought it looks boring until that trailer. I have ALWAYS wanted a TV show.
I absolutely love apex I've been waiting for this I cant wait to see it all
Thank you for recommending it to me, I'm sure you did somewhere.
You have to do tales from the outlands! Each one has its own art and tone. They put a lot of lore into these and they look amazing.
On my list fella!
❤️😊❤️
You totally need to watch Story From the Outlands. It’s animated videos from each character story, and background.
Hope you come back to this game and see the Stories From The Outlands.
Btw I've been loving the God of War Reactions, glad you've enyoyed it as much as I did.
Okay, to make it simple for you friend, the game consists of a battle royale, 60 teams consisting each of three members and its the apex games that choose whos gonna be with who, (apart from in the game, you can choose who ever you like) and they fight to get top one, and it's called the apex games, made by the syndicate (if you are interested,I think they're might be things about them) now for your questions, yes, every season comes a new legend but right now, they stopped doing that and they made updates for the game (but i think they will bring back the every new season new character again), big changes, two, yes everytime the match ends, the people that died get back to life, I don't know how but like yeah 😐and third answer for your question on 41:26, yes, every character has an ability and the guns are just for fighting, the guns are all over the Map, and the abilities are specifically for the character, okay forth question, the guy with the glasses is the father of the guy that has a mask(octane), silva, he is in accords with the syndicate and he is "the apparent villain" of the story, 42:56, they are called legends
Rev "no" still makes me laugh
You missed some pretty important ones from your video analysis here there is the horizon trailer which has a lot of back story for horizon and ash characters also the Valkyrie trailer which shows here back story so that would explain your slight gap in the back story’s you should check them out they are some of the best tbh the Valkyrie one is a fav for me
Oh yeah Valkyrie ( The girl who flies and shoots missiles) is Vipers daughter
If you want to see this game made to be more like a movie / series there is the apex legends stories from the outlands which gives some background on the characters in a short film style theres also a short series called Kill code which is a 4 part series of i think 20 - 30 minute episodes which you should also def check out for the stories of the outlands there are compilations available not too sure about kill code but its only 4 parts and they are labeled properly so it shouldnt be too difficult but you should definetly check them out if you enjoyed these trailers they are 100x better.
Can you watch the story's of each Legend from how thay became a Apex legend
I miss the old studio, I love their style so much.
They also have some sick ingame videos that you can look at to! Thay are as good as the new season/carakter ones 👍
Imo the Studio Switch was such a huuuge downgrade that It actively discouraged me from playing the game further.
Kai if you watch the cinematic NORTHSTAR you will not be disappointed ..... at least imo that opens up the understanding of Valkyrie and who she really is which will be a HUGE reveal
Is there any shows in this style, I've seen spiderman across the spiderverse (I think thats the one) and I've seen arcane on Netflix, anybody know any others?
The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was in this style too. I personally loved it.
@kaizammit uh yes I forgot about that, i have watched it but I'm biased to the 2007 movie where Ralph was doing that vigilanti thing in the black suit cause I grew up with that 😅
@kaizammit while I'm on the topic, love death and robots had a few episodes like it idk if it'd be possible to react to it cause of copyright but its a super good watch if you haven't seen it.
Also cyberpunk edge runners comes to mind
Finalllly u made it🔥🔥🔥🔥
I said I would and now here I am ✌🏻
well if I think about it, Apex and Arcane were being made around the same time I think so I dont know if Apex took inspiration from it, but maybe they kinda inspired each other
I swear we been saying we needed a break show of Apex Legends
Tales of the outlands is all the stroy telling, its kinda like a little tv show
I look forward to covering those then!
I haven’t watched Tales from the Outlands but I want to wait until Kai drops the video 🤧
I'll drop it soon and thank you for hanging out with me!
@ I love your content man, as an actor I appreciate too much your insights on the cinematography, it’s huge for us to know about all this, we can make people feel more, also your authenticity makes it a lot better 🙌
That's awesome to hear. It will also explain why on set, lighting takes forever!
@@kaizammit ohh man I come back a month later after working in some productions as staff and it is HARD
My favorite of these by far is the season 4 one.
That was incredible tbh. I'm with you.
We’ve been begging EA/Respawn for YEARS to make an Apex Legends TV show or movie. After the success of Arcane, they are just leaving so much money on the table 😩
20:47
the disrespect to my girl valk is crazy lol
how have i never heard anyone adress the pulp fiction refference in the launch trailer? (the crate with a mysterieous golden glow).
Late to the party but I'll give some more context especially in case you decide to react to the stories of the outlands,which are basically mini movies focused on specific characters to tell their backstories. I'll first talk about the overall world of titanfall and apex but if you want just explanation about the apex games then you can just skip to thatpart I'll mark it.
When humanity developped the technology to reach the stars,quickly a part of it sent of to colonize further systems inside our galayxy,so we had what we call The core,made of the world surroundings earth,and then we have the Frontier,world much further away and outside of the influence of the core system.
For dozens of years the frontier was totally ignored by the rest of humanity as they didnt have any way of communicating with them,they could all have been dead and nobody would ever know.
But at some point the IMC,an important manufactering entreprise in the core system,decided to take contact with the frontier again and discovered a lot of habited world filled with ressources and potential trade,as well as a lot of people in need of a job. So they quickly took over,turning villages into cities,worlds into mining facilities.
of course you can imagine that a giant corporation that suddendly discover entire worlds ready to be exploited and a lot of people unnorganized without anything to protect them,well,it was much more messy and brutal than anything.
So quickly people started fighting back,leading to the creation of the Milicia,originally it was mostly bandits and outlaw as well as civilians that filled the ranks,but it was a start. And the first titan war began,called like so due to the titans you saw in Titanfall 2,multi usage mecha used in basically any field,and you can easily imagine that a civilian is suddendly much more dangerous when inside a nuclear powered robot of multiple ton.
The milicia quickly "lost" the war,it was still active but the IMC had too much of a hold on the frontier,for now.
Cue the second titan war that take place in titanfall 1&2 The milicia win by destroying the last communication relay capable of talking with the core system,follow a few years of chasing the remnants of the IMC and cleaning the frontier,with the battle of Typhon that take place in titanfall 2
And for now,the IMC hasnt been seen again.
We're not sure why the titans are basically gone now,they're still probably used on farmworlds or things like that but
STORY OF THE APEX GAMES (without spoiling the story of the outlands)
Kuben Blisk,leader of the Apex predators (the group of mercenary seen in TF2) create the Apex games,at first it's just a bloodsport,people come to fight and often people die in the arena. Tho it quickly grow popular along the level of civilisation of the outlands. The travel between worlds become more and more easier ,as well as television,and this all take place in the Outlands,a cluster of planets on the edge of the frontier.
As the apex games grow we start to see appearing Legends,popular fighters no matter their skill,often comming with a gimmick or a special tech or skill,and those are our playable characters.
legend help to make the popularity of the game grow faster,quickly the real weapons turn into non-lethal ones,shields are common grounds and the cashprize as well as the number of competitor grow exponentially.
So a few things here to explain the difference between the lore and what we see in the cinematic :
-Legends fighting each other is actually a rare sight,each games can take days and they're filled to the brim with randos you'll never talk about.
-death are really rare now,with non-lethal weapons and easier rules,if you're out of the fight you're out of the game. We know this because Lifeline (the black girl with the two buns) goes to the hospital after the game to bring food and some heal to those she injured. We also have some hints of high tech medecine in form of pods but they're probably for the more wealthier competitor like the legends.
-BlisK will stay in command for a while and can give invitation similar to the one we see at the end of the last trailer that give access directly to the harder apex games
-legends relationships depend on each,some knew from before they joined the game,other dont,some are friend other ennemies,some lovers ect. The easier exemple being the scary red robot guy and the girl with her cane
Later on,blisk will leave it's place as the head of the apex game and let the Syndicate take over,as ceo,we have Eduardo Silva(the guy with red round glasses),father of octane (the speedy guy you see die in every cinematic) (which is actually his grandfather,toress silva took the name and role of eduardo when he died out of love).
From here it get a bit blurry especially if you dont talk about the legends,but here are the main actors in this story :
-the syndicate :Owner of the apex game and want as much power and control they can over the outlands
-Salvo : A planet that's still resisting the influence of the syndicate,that's why we saw Maggie (the punk girl that took of a chunk of a guard throat in the airship) get sent to the apex games to be killed (that's where it get weird on if it's an actual bloodgame or not,my guess is that if you don't have money to pay for the healthcare,you're screwed)
-the legends : All of them have different goal and different reasons of being here,some are just there for their family,some for the money,some to try to save planets,some for fun.
I've always said what you're saying - Titanfall and Apex should really have an Arcane-type series 😍
Also, you should watch Tales from the Outlands shortfilms - they explain more of the backstory for each character! Edit: I see now you've already planned it. And you won't regret it 🙌
5 years still waiting for Apex legends cartoon
Newcastle and Bangalore are brother and sister. Safe to say shes yet to warm back up to her brother after....history
Watch the tales of the outlands it basically the story of every main character plz watch it its amazing and its like a real movie unlike the trailers.
you should watch the outland stories
"I see why Titanfall 3 doesn't exist" jus hit the soul😞
Just commenting to add to the, you should absolutely watch the Stories from the Outlands videos!! That would be incredible to see your reaction! 😁
