They should really redo this game. Not reboot, redo. Like just fix up the writing and gameplay mechanics and just call it "Neverdead Redux" or something.
Neverdead: Notshit?
I agree, that's my view on quite a few games that could have been great but fell very short. Kinda funny, for the longest time, I thought NeverDead was a Suda51 game (visuals kinda remind me of Shadows of the Damned and Killer is Dead), and in retrospect, he probably should have made this because it likely wouldn't have sucked lol
Call it "Neverdead: Never Say Die Edition".
Yeah, they can call it "Neverdead Two; The Never Dead-ining; Now with more Never Dying"
I'm late to the party but how about Neverdead: Neverbetter Edition?
Ahh, the awkward teenage years of gaming where everything jiggled. Even plants swaying in a breeze would give one final sensual jiggle before deigning to cease their movement.
never has a game deserved a second chance more.
I would say the same for Fragile Dreams for the Wii. It had some of the best atmosphere and setting I've seen in a game which was fun to explore with the wii mote which controlled your flashlight a la SH: Shattered Memories.
But it unfortunately was bundled with a lack-luster story, backtracking through previous levels and doing busy work to pad out game time and had a finale that felt like it was wrapping up all the plot threads too hastily.
The bag joke is timelessly funny
we Need the "sack and day labourers with cricket bats" System for every game development Meeting!
1stshockarmy I think the overall quality of life for everybody would be greatly improved if "day laborers with cricket bats" were implemented in almost all meeting scenarios.
Nobody " You want to cut education?! Into the sack! "
Comrade Silly Otter And everything was wonderful and everyone lived happily. _The End_
+1stshockarmy "Oh, hey, we should make another Paranormal Activity movie!" "Into the sack!"
Konami wouldn't have a corporate head alive if that were the case.
3:35 - 4:22
Can't feel my sides I'm laughing so hard...
2:33 wow, that DOES sound like fun.
3:35 wow, that DOES sound like shit.
Aww, NeverDead, you were sooo close to being something. Now look at you, with your degree in liberal arts, lying on the curb begging for change.
... Yech, that hit a little close to home.
+jtroopa It also cut one of its most interesting mechanics before launch. It had Coop, where only player 1 was immortal and player 2 wasn't. Player 2 could use a bunch of different weapons and gadgets, but sucks in melee and can die, whereas player 1 is great at melee and cant die. player 2 was completely cut from the game, and replaced with an NPC.
The things I love about NeverDead:
1, How often can you rip your own head (or arm) off and throw it?
2, The demons look pretty cool :D.
3, If you wanna be a glitch gremlin, this is a good game to find some for your GGGG (Game Graphic Glitch Gremlin) resume.
Things I HATE about it.
1, The game is actually kinda short.
2, Most of the time, the game is prolonged by the fact you fall apart too easily and that can become quite arduous.
3, It just....ends...nothing much resolved.
4, The lady you're stuck with is UBER annoying (due to her personality and little to no help) even the civilians are a royal pain in the arse.
5, If you play it nowadays (2015) Some trophies/achievements will be impossible to get...because they require playing challenges with other players that own the game and all play online multiplayer....I LOATH those types of trophies where you MUST go online whether you want to or not.....or even catch other people playing it at the same time.
+Raun Carswell I hate online/multiplayer things too, like there is this one achievement in ssb for the 3ds that requires spot passing people, which probably isn't a problem in a big city with a lot of people so you may pass someone else with one once in a while, I have spot passed someone once, and it wasn't even in my city it was while on holiday.
It is sooooo annoying for an achievement nut like me that I can basically never get it unless I luck out or pay 300 bucks for another 3ds and game
+tgsachris That's why I am not buying this game even though the price in the store is like $4.99 right now.
Yeah this was an awesome concept, just imagine what Capcom or Platinum could have done with it
Ruin it?
This was released by Konami. So yeah, I assume it would be better
0:33 dat voice break
0:34
VOICE CRACK
I wonder if anyone has tried to mod the living hell out of neverdead to make it not shit
It's console, so nope.
Yeah, someone must have thrown it into a big fire by now
Srdjan Maricic that stops no one people have been modding sonic06 to fix the gameplay there's no fixing the story really wish 06 had a pc port if it did there would be a proper sonic adventure 3 after the fanbase has fucking finished the game
SAWNIC
I'm a big fan of Zero Punctuation, but I really must insist that the volume gap between the music and speech be done away with. I'm sorry, but every time I watch, I have to turn up the volume a lot to hear the talking, and crank it back down when the music starts again. Even if the overall video were equally quiet or loud, I wouldn't mind. Thanks.
I'm not sure why they do it, but I do agree that it sounds as though the content itself is being run through a compressor/limiter. I'm glad someone else mentioned it, I thought I was the only one
Jared Elwart Actually, using a compressor/limiter would improve the situation. By definition, compressors shrink (or compress) the dynamic range of an audio file, so that the loudest and quietest sounds are closer in volume than before the processing took place.
If anything, it sounds like there wasn't any mixing or mastering done on the audio after the into/outro footage was added to the main segment; a bit of compression would have done wonders to lessen the disparity in volume.
And here we are, 2 years down the line, still being deafened by generic hard rock and then trying to understand a fucking thing yahtzee's saying. -_-
Are you sure? I don't really notice it with his more recent videos.
I got so tired of increasing and decreasing the volume that now i just let the intro music hammer my ears until they bleed. I think i am gonna go deaf.
In my opinion immortality would suck incredibly badly.
I would probably do what that alien in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
+Rob Hughes Get hammered by Thor?
+Jonah Wolf no he would insult the universe
***** I meant the latter. My definition of immortality is that time can't kill you but the other things can. My definition of invincibility is that only time can kill you. But to most people immortality and invincibility are the same thing and they mean nothing can kill you and that would suck.
You know what I hate? YOU NOT BEING IN THIS FUCKING SACK RIGHT NOW.
GET IN THE FUCKING SACK
"You promised you'd never show the boy DecapAttack..."
What Is this a reference to?
@@darkartsdabbler2407 Game Grumps. They played DecapAttack for a few episodes and did a bit about a dad telling his son about his work on DecapAttack and the two becoming estranged as a result.
@@dragonkeeper19600 I remember now! Thanks
The detachable limbs thing actually reminded me of another old game from my childhood: Plok.
0:33 Oh god a voice crack!
Nice voice crack yatzee
David Smith when?
+Sailor Italy at 33 secconds in when he is talking about superman 64 it is a small one but still noticiable
David Smith Lol. Thanks XD
+David Smith Models, textures and programmHING routines.
Devastating
Decap Attack is still my favourite game of all time
Picked this one up a few days back and honestly, I am loving it. More destruction than freaking BF3, graphics were above average, hardly any bugs or glitches. A few design choices were questionable but even on the hardest difficulty I didnt have very much hassle.
Since I'm running low on mainstream games to help me reach 200k gamerscore, I find myself rummaging through the bargain bin very often and no lie, most of these I find are more fun and have more heart than these AAA multiplayer centered shovelware I see every year.
+Jaziel Rivera O:
LOL at the beginning part with the bad games, and the part about Bryce's limbs falling off or getting knocked off by the imps. But even funnier is the end credits in which Bryce and the imp do a head swap! So funny! :D
that line about the wood chipper had me rolling
Example of a game with an immortal protagonist: Wario Land 3.
0:33 EPIC!!
Is this even the right comments section for this video, or does RUclips have it confused with a different one?
Going back through a lot of Yahtzee's old reviews, damn you RUclips for your auto-play feature, I must say, this has to be among my favorites..
you sir, win the gold medal for outstanding usage of the internet :D
I'm gonna see if I can nail a poppadom to a gazelle
I hot glued a tortilla to an armadillo once...
+underserf I heard that somebody tried to sew pitta bread to a quagga, but stopped when they realised that quaggas are extinct.
Yeah, much easier to just super glue zebra bread to a horse ;)
*sigh*, I'd like to join in this rhyme, but I don't have the KNACK
...for coming up with rhymes. Oh well. Guess I'll go BACK
...to that video I was watching before. It's time to get back on TRACK
...with my ZP playlist. Perhaps I'll take a CRACK
...at coming up with rhymes later. If only I could end a sentence with a word that rhymes with sack, because then I could join the PACK
...of cool RUclipsrs who are good at rhyming.
I don't think you lack.
Holy shit that crack at the start?!? Scared tfuck outa me
If RUclips didn't restrict any of his other videos, then Yahtzee must have really done some work on this one
That fact is sublime!
2:38 or Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse on Xbox. However this is more the general idea of using your body parts then the specifically examples he just mentioned.
0:34 voice break :3
I love that the two top comments rhyme.
This video is ahead of it's time, I dare say sublime
I hate when people arent in my sack either
That reminds me of a comic of Deadpool i've read. Some guy decided to use Deadpool's regenerative powers as a never-ending food supply to zombies
according to the search filters, this is the highest rated episode on youtube...
That sounds simply sublime.
Nice voice crack at 0:34
Man I love Decap Attack. That game has some of the best FM synth music on the Genesis, which is crazy considering that game was so early in the Genesis' life cycle. I wonder if they make indie games with those kinds of OSTs now, like obv you hear a lot of 8-bit chiptune in so many pixel games, and there's def some games that give nods to that FM sound (Undertale come to mind) but I'd love to hear a game with that kind of dedicated OST.
HAY GAIZ!!! I have an awesome idea, you kow how EVERYONE loves escort quests? WELL, i think we should make a game that is just one LOOOOONG escort quest!
So, "Amy" then. It's been done.
*****
dude, I'm talking about never-dead. its basically a giant escort quest.
*****
noted and keked
***** Fact is Ico worked, but that's because the director was back engineering it, and it's a 3D cinematic platformer first so whatever...
I have an awesome idea too. It's about you being in this fucking bag!
just saw an oreo commercial that had Scott Pilgram vs The World the game music in it
Ugh, Bought this game years ago never played it.. till recent. OMG, Your review is on point.
"don't be like that baby Superman 64 was years ago!" every time he mentions that games that's the first thing I remember. please review it one day for a retro review. it would be hilarious
1:11 Tf2 spy knife
...WHY IS THIS BLOCKED?!!! DAMMIT RUclips, I SUBSCRIBED JUST TO WATCH THIS GUY!!!
Apperantly, Yathzee doesn't like being able to control where your sword hits.
3:38 the Tardis
Whenever I see them, I yell "NEIN!"
3:33 that's real?!?!?!
So basically take away insta-kills, letting the player have their immortal fun, and perhaps going full fledged Devil May Cry gameplay wise and this game would've been tits on a Donkey.
I swear to god the description of this character fits DmC's Dante as well.
I'm here to make some chimes.
Alright, if writing rants on youtube makes you happy, I'm not one to argue. Have a nice new year.
I haven't seen this one yet. I also haven't slept yet tonight.
My time to shine!
And make sure they're in line.
Keep pressing 1 for an even better effect.
It's like he got so angry as if he stepped on a tack!
Did you put in the bottle of Lucozade to reference Tom Syndicate?
Thanks
no dish is complete without a little thyme
I just realised that he bagged out two games that megadeth wrote a song for. GOW and Neverdead haha😂
All at the sound of a chime.
Kane & Lynch 2 was actually fun as a coop game.
That will be sublime
That would be rather sublime!
"Show comment" For a fun little nursery rhyme with a twist!
Huh. You pretty much summed up my experience with this game pretty well.
I wish I could do what Yahtzee wished to do to the never dead dev team to the duke nukem forever dev team.
Thought we wouldn't catch that at 0:33?
you realize voice cracks continue to happen post puberty no matter how old you get, the difference is that it's less frequent.
0:33 was that a voice crack?
Did he basically come up with headlander in the credits? :P
zlol this review makes me want to actually try the game.
oh look at the time!
I'm late for the tasting of wine!
Once your dad comes back from the store to buy a...Door Hinge.
Like stealing a wind-chime?
Yes I did
I own Superman 64, never could figure out how to get past the first level. Something to do with flying through rings towards something, but I never could find it.
Reading this line of comments is like watching Gak
did his voice crack? 0:32
Before you get the the orange might want to fix the door hinge
"Stick him in a chipper and he'd solve world hunger"
Sounds like the first few episodes of Deadpool
03:39 - 04:23
fucking brilliant and hilarious^^
Make sure it is behind a sign.
Rhyme does indeed rhyme with Rhyme.
To continue the chain i will make a new word called lourange.
hey man i live on the san aderaez fault........ if it looked like that i might enjoy earthquakes
0:32 Voice Break!
I once crushed my finger... in a door hinge.
And some green, radioactive slime.
Earlier today I saw a mime!
just so you all know, a golden gaytime is an australian ice cream bar
how do you know
"posted 52 years ago" SEEMS LEGIT.
