I think the problem with this structure is that no matter how many choices you have people will always want more. You could maybe do enough to make it satisfying (maybe three or four broad paths to winning with two or three divergences each that lead to loss down the line and another two or three actions that get you voted out immediately) but I don't think you'd ever in practice get to a level that felt comprehensive. My idea (going in totally the other direction of light detail but almost infinite options) would be to procedurally generate a cast with some stats and personality traits (which determine their actions and how they react to things). The game would proceed kind of like a brantsteele sim except you would choose what your avatar does (a few "actions" each day) and the outcome would be determined by stats and chance.
Oh God, I laughed so hard at this. Sandra as a challenge beast and a challenge where Denise hits a tree with an ax to eat worms had me crying. I want you to work in "The tribe has voted unanimously. Their decision is final." into a future video without any context.
"Stephanie said she won, clutched challenges, she had a strong social game, and she dominated strategically in the Black Widow Brigade" "Earl said he has a cool hat!"
@@queenzoroark I guess it's because they contract French developers to code the game, and they may just make the game based off of how their own Survivor looks like.
Yeah, French viewer here, very quickly I thought to myself : "that's just the reskinned Koh-Lanta game", and like, there's enormous clues throughout, the scavenger hunt and pole immunity challenges at the end are present in every Koh-Lanta season, the one with the underwear rocks they have to drag is also a staple, of the pre-merge this time, as well as the assault course which is typically the first post-merge individual immunity challenge, and Jeff's line in that reskin of the game is just a semi-translation of Denis Brogniart (Koh-Lanta's host)'s iconic tribal council line "les aventuriers de la tribu ont décidé de vous éliminer et leur sentence est irrévocable" (litt. "the tribe's castaways have decided to vote you out and their decision is final")
I had this game for the DS and it was soooo much more detailed and fun. You got to create your own character and there was tribe life content that you got to contribute to that'd help dictate who went home during the vote. Definitely worth checking out for any fans :)
I love how all it takes to win is decimate the other tribe. Doesn't matter if you still have two people left. Russell Hantz would have gotten his wish to share the title
the fact that the best survivor game to date is brantsteele, which is free and has been around for ages, is really a testament to how hard it must be to make a game based on this type of show.... or maybe game devs are just lazy.
Saw that thumbnail and that clip from the godfather instantly played in my head "Look how they massacred my boy." They did Yul so dirty. He should sue them
I remember all the way back in 2010 when the Wiiviwr reviewed this game on his channel and later on put it in his top 10 worst games of the year. In the challenge where you had to collect 3 idol clues, the game bugged and allowed the computer to collect one of his clues in addition to its own. This resulted in him getting softlocked since the game still requires you to finish the challenge even after you've lost. He ran around aimlessly for 10 minutes before he realized what happened and was forced to restart the game.
This game is probably based on French Survivor (called Koh Lanta) with some of its challenges (only some, because there has never been drumming I believe). The last two you had to play are staples from there, where the person who gets last place in those challenges is eliminated, determining the final two. The company which made that game is Mindscape, a French company, so it adds up. I have the game myself, and both its title and host are changed
As mentionned in the comments this is a copy of the wii game from the french version of survivor aka koh lanta, the only notable changes seems to be the voice lines and the french host being replaced by jeff ans some survivor logos added. Some elements were weird during the video as they felt closer to the french version, the second to last challenge, the orientation course, and the last challenge standing on a pole are evergreen staples in France since early 2000s. The torches are also shorter and a reproduction of the french version, same for the snuffer. The phrase said at tribal counsil is a direct translation of the french phrase ("ont décidé de vous éliminer et leur sentance est irrévocable"). Uppon looking, there is a game on the wii for koh lanta, same graphics and released prior to the suvivor game.
As an Asian man myself, I was laughing with Luke when Yul came up. I'm thinking, did they only have one stock character to fit the label "Asian man". That guy look like owner of a Chinese BBQ restaurant
I have to imagine that they wanted to use the names of big players for recognition, but didn't want to pay the fee to license the likeness of the players. Which is objectively the funniest possible option.
This video was really fun! Have you thought of doing let's plays of the other Survivor video games? Castaway Island would make sense to do next since it's the most recent, but I also heard the DS game follows the structure of the show really well. There's also the early PC games from the early 2000s which are both on the Internet archive. You may need a patch to get Survivor the Interactive game to work though.
5:33 I think it's because they made this game thinking of both Survivor and Koh Lanta (the french version) we do have the same game in France with some changes like Denis Brogniart being the host instead of Jeff Probst And since in every seasons in France we have "Immunity Totems" looking like this one when winning an Immunity challenge I think they took this one so that they would not have to change the model much for the french version of the game
I just played the new one on the PlayStation and it was surprisingly decent. The stats are legit and I even found an idol. The AI are actually sort of intelligent. I even had "Angie" from Phillipines blindside me with her own idol. If you don't win the merge immunity challenge youre automatically eliminated though, so backing up your save beforehand is a must. Still a very drunk experience but at least its getting better.
Im actually there hasn't been more attempts at making a Survivor Videogame. Because having a mode where you can control what happens in terms of Tribe Swaps, challenges, also can create a players on the tribes and watching the drama Is a really fun Idea.
I have no idea if it’s available anywhere, but back in the day I played a computer survivor game with all of the players from season 1 and 2. They made it almost impossible to win, but followed the sane premise as real show
Speaking of Brian with the puppy sh**ting competition, my dad thought my neighbor’s dog looked like a dear and thought of getting the sh*tgun but I kept him from doing so after I pet the dog
Video games based on movies and TV shows were wild in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s some of them feel like a fever dream with how bad or strange they were.... I mean E.T. the video game almost crashed the video gaming market because of how bad it was...
Sandra looks in this game a little like Denise, who didn't even play yet back then, looked like in the Philippines. Oh, and Amber is totally a challenge beast in this one. She also looks like Ami, so I guess she would be actually a legend in that universe.
You might try the DS version, it's a bit closer to simulating the game properly, the only problem is that you can easily win if you collect supplies and bathe each day
The way I'd make Survivor is an RPG with high levels of procedural generation. Previous players, custom players, pre-defined player, random players. Have stats, skills, reputations, and relationships. Make it a mix of Baldur's Gate, Civilization, and The Sims.
I love how all the names are these massive survivor legends upto China at the time and then there's...Austin...is that the Austin from pearl Islands or Panama? WHO IS AUSTIN?! LOL
I have the french version, and I find it funny that Tina and the guy that present the show had been replaced by their French counterpart 😆 I didn't know this game existed in other countries
I thought the title was “Sol played Survivor Wii in 2024” and was so excited
Omg. I thought the same thing! hahaha
fart
I would one hundred percent watch Sol do video game walkthroughs
I never realized how much I wanted something in my life.

I feel like an ideal Survivor game would be a text based visual-novel with LOTS of branching paths and endings.
Yes
Holy shit, I'd love to play a game like that
There was infact a survivor CYOA novel published once with this exact concept!

Meaning that Liana Boraas on the B&B actually created the ultimate Survivor video game.
The winner getting a golden Immunity Willard is so freaking funny.
That ain’t Yul, that’s Lul.
That's YouWon't

Thanks for giving me a brief cameo in your video! - Lucas M. Thomas, IGN Survivor Wii reviewer
I never laughed so hard at a Idoled Out video. PLEASE do the new Survivor game (it's on Steam, I believe) next! It's even worse than the Wii one lol
These challenges feel like something that would be on Total Drama, complete with sharks and alligators
Oh God, I laughed so hard at this. Sandra as a challenge beast and a challenge where Denise hits a tree with an ax to eat worms had me crying. I want you to work in "The tribe has voted unanimously. Their decision is final." into a future video without any context.

“The next challenge is an assault course. I looked everywhere for ben browning but couldnt see him” I NEED MORE GAMING COMMENTARY LIKE THIS
Survivor on Wii is apparently just an English translation of Koh-Lanta (French Survivor) on Wii, which honestly explains a lot.
Most of the games about Survivor ends up being a translation of Koh-Lanta, which is strange and intriguing since Survivor US is more well known.
@@queenzoroark I guess it's because they contract French developers to code the game, and they may just make the game based off of how their own Survivor looks like.
@@_lunartemis And maybe it's easier to just translate the Koh-Lanta game

@@beuriotquentin7907 A long sentence, but even the DS game is a reskin from Koh-Lanta, which is weird
I love the Guatemala logo for the Tocantins tribes LOL
The whole thing is a weird Survivor soup!

That is NOT Yul Kwon 🙏😭
Denise being a robbed goddess fallen angel was not on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are.

You are 100% correct this game and the newest Survivor game on PC and Nintendo Switch is also a reskin of French Survivor.
Huh. The more you know.

That “thank you Jeff” at the merge was hilarious 😂
the most high stakes game ever

There must be a trademark on "the tribe has spoken" for Jeff to not say that before snuffing the torch. Theres no other explanation.
Sundra vs Becky of rock paper scissors
4:57 is insane 😭
00:16 that one lady in the back looks like quasimodo 😂
“Oh man. The next challenge better not be a puppy shooting competition.” 🤣
IGN rated this higher than Mario & Luigi Brothership. Remember this.
I did not expect this in my Sub box. Fantastic. 😂😂
Idoled Out going into their video gaming era
Given how incredibly niche videos are on this game (as well as its DS counterpart), I'm glad a known Survivor youtuber decided to give it a go
I want more Idoled Out let's plays
stephanie for survivor 50
Forgot about this game until now 😂
They got Jeff wrong. Jeff never says the name of the winner. He opens the parchment without saying the name.
This video was really fun! Have you thought of doing let's plays of the other Survivor video games?

I know it's a game but at 2:28, the game "Yul" looks like Sol from this season of "Survivor."
I love this video!
What was the point of the merge? And what happens if the final 3 is all Timbara?
5:33 I think it's because they made this game thinking of both Survivor and Koh Lanta (the french version) we do have the same game in France with some changes like Denis Brogniart being the host instead of Jeff Probst
And since in every seasons in France we have "Immunity Totems" looking like this one when winning an Immunity challenge I think they took this one so that they would not have to change the model much for the french version of the game
4:49 Me when i'm trying to pad out my essay
I love how it looks like they put the entire budget into designing Jeff and then had none left for the rest of the game
I just played the new one on the PlayStation and it was surprisingly decent. The stats are legit and I even found an idol. The AI are actually sort of intelligent. I even had "Angie" from Phillipines blindside me with her own idol. If you don't win the merge immunity challenge youre automatically eliminated though, so backing up your save beforehand is a must.

Never knew there was a “Survivor” game on the Wii
This might be a he best thing ive ever watched
This was my favorite game growing up!
Survivor on Wii, The Tribe has spoken.
Would highly reccomend Survivor: Castaway Island for another Survivor video game. It's not quite as funny but you do get to actually do strategy!
they did Yul dirty with that one
I feel like the only positive thing about this game is that they actually tried to make Jeff look like Jeff...... unlike the rest of the cast!
We going to see some of the other games here too? Survivor Castaway Challenge is impressively painful
Alien Isolation WISHES it was this game.
Sandra looks in this game a little like Denise, who didn't even play yet back then, looked like in the Philippines.
Oh, and Amber is totally a challenge beast in this one. She also looks like Ami, so I guess she would be actually a legend in that universe.
This game was my childhood and i loved it so much despite how much i hated it
Will you play the newest Survivor game? I think it's ranked even worse lol
I was hoping this would be like Wipeout Wii but it couldn’t even get the basic premise of survivor right.
Denise being robbed of the win its kinda iconic tbh
Damn! I was rooting for Denise😂😮🫢🪱
