You have to read between the lines a bit for the movie. There's a thing called "gambler's fallacy," and it keeps you coming back to the casino table--or the race--even when you're close to losing everything. Not a bad thing; just how the human brain is wired. The King Kong who knocks your car out of the race is there to make you go "I'll find another way around him." Whoops! Not so fast. You have to go into the Halliday Archives, go through the videos of his life, fight through boredom, and *stay until you hit the certain line of dialogue which contains the hint about how to beat the race.* The narrative beat of the _Joust_ thing is *there,* it's just streamlined and put into a different form.
I personally really liked that they change all of the challenges in the movie. I already know how he does it in the book, one of the best part was observing him figure it out for the first time. I wouldn’t get that feeling again if the challenges were all the same in the movie. But since they were different, I also didn’t know what he had to and was once again observing him figure it out.
My husband and I met in Everquest in 2001, and we got married on September 17, 2005 and have been married over 12.5 years. :) Thanks for mentioning Everquest, everyone seems to forget that Everquest was around long before World of Warcraft. (Pirates Revenge guild on Bertoxxulous!)
I was kind of sad that Everquest references were lost in the movie. I never read the book, but I felt that there was a gaping hole in the movie where EQ and WoW should have been. Lots of 80's arcade game and movie references, lots of recent online game references, but 1999-2009 got lost.
For those who've seen the movie, but not read the book, comparing the two is like comparing the old and new Jumanji. Different stories with the same end goal. Both really good stories. Personally I liked the book better, and you should read it too.
I feel that in the writing of the book Nintendo was avoided due to copy right. I find it hard to believe he didn't love any Nintendo games enough to put them in his book.
The games he mentioned are mostly atari and arcade games, it's totally possible that he could've just not owned or played on a nintendo console. I know when I was a kid the only nintendo experience I had was when I went to my cousin's house to play it.
First of all, who declared that you needed to play nintendo to call yourself a gamer? Secondly, I'm sure there's plenty of people like that. It's not like nintendo had monopoly over consoles in that era. There's sega and atari consoles(which he kept mentioning games of btw). Like I said, it's possible to not own a nintendo but still have opportunities to play it occasionally. Maybe he went to his friend/family to play mario kart and liked it enough to write about it. Maybe he already had an atari and his parents couldn't afford / didn't want to buy another console.
Even though Halo was far in time after these games, it’s the game I grew up with and it was one of the best games I ever played. I’m glad he payed tribute to it in the movie with the assault rifles, the Halo area at the shop. Also the gears of war saw gun, liked that one also.
Apparently I should watch this movie. It's really sweet that this guy is paying homage to his childhood and all the good times he had alone and with friends playing video games :)
paralentor I definitely saw the movie. Sadly. I was comparing the book to the movie. Not only does the movie never mention Halliday’s obsession with the 80s and the fact that basically all of the keys and gates are 80s themed tasks. They changed everything, a little 80s character that shows up for half a second in the corner of the screen compared to the abundance of 80s references in the book is basically a joke.
I played space war on the PDP-1 at Digital's (DEC) headquarters in Maynard, MA back in 1979 while I was up there for training as a Field Service Engineer at DEC.
I'm not that old yet. My dad was 86 and my Mom was 90 (just last yr for my mom) when they passed. If I live until 2047 I'll be 94 which is possible, unless we have a major ELE (Extinction Level Event) in the next 29 years, Like the Yellowstone Caldera Supervolcano going off.
I'm gonna watch it on Thursday at some cinema with a recliner you can lean back and watch the screen on the ceiling, so cool! It's gonna be the premier.
Earnest Cline, whenever a new video game is introduced: Aaaaaand this is another one of my favorites, really great, stayed up late playing it, really fun...
He looks kinda like Guillermo Del Toro lol I love that the challenges are completely different in the film/book, it makes for both being really awesome and one of the few times I read the book after seeing the flick and being just as amazed. Usually the book version is always better but both are unique and great!
It's crazy to me that he talked about black cobra in the bowling alley. I used to go to the bowling alley with my mom for her bowling league. I always hung out by the arcade cabinets watching the "big" kids playing it nonstop. It was one of my first arcade experiences, and it blew my mind.
This is a trip down video game memory lane! I remember my first video game system was Collecovision. I loved playing donkey Kong on it and Pac-Man,so much fun! Its incredible how much games have evolved since then. I really hope we get our own OASIS here in this reality...
Wow I actually learned a lot through this video, it’s very interesting to see the background of a lot of these video games I never played growing up but whole generations did :)
One of my all-time favs was Cannon Fodder on the Amega. I also remember playing some of the Ultima games and getting thrashed because I was young and very inexperienced.
I noticed in the movie that Halliday had a TRS Model 1 or 2 or 3, can't remember. I didn't see an actual Tandy Color Computer but maybe I missed it. I need to own this movie so I can go over it frame by frame. Loved it.
Hm, how curious. When I read Ready Player One, the first person to come to mind when Halliday was described wasn’t Richard Garriott or Howard Hughes, but John Carmack. Although it’s pretty safe to say that the Halliday of the book is much less congenial and charismatic than Carmack- and that’s saying something.
Ultima Online wasn't the first MMO, it was just the first to be popular. Also if you google this tidbit, the first response is that Meridian59 is believed to have been the first, but it seems like there's conjecture on the topic and it depends on whether or not you count MUDs. Anyway, just thought it was funny that he said UO was the first MMO when it's relatively common knowledge that it wasn't. Or maybe that isn't common knowledge, idk.
ComputerNoises Did you read the title ? He is explaining the games, not the reason why they are in the movie/book. Plus, isn’t the reason simple? It’s cause he was inspired by these games and they were a big part of his childhood LOL.
Carolina Estigarribia yeah, I just really wanted to enjoy it, but they really butchered th plot. I loved the book, but the movie really messed up the first half of the book, as well as a lot of the story.
@Carsey 0111 I'm not much of a reader (i read less than 50 books in my lifetime voluntarily), but i'd be willing to check for an audiobook - do you think it'd worth it? And secondly: Do you think having seen this video without knowing the source material improves the experience of the movie (with the additional refrence-knowledge)?
Loved the book but it wasn't a literary masterpiece. If you are a fan of the 80's - video games, movies, and all the pop culture / OR / Love treasure hunts = You'll LOVE this.
I enjoyed the book and the audio book with Wil Wheaton. I liked the movie but there are several differences between the movie and the books. I enjoy the audio book best.
Movie was solid, I think it made it something anyone could enjoy. But it just can't match the depth of the story, characters, and details. Also not sure how I feel about some of the changes. That said it did add somethings that worked really well on film like the shining, the race, and some character alterations. Book still is the overall better experience 10/10!
When Cline mentioned Joust in the book my inner ten year old went ballistic. Used to play that in the arcade nonstop and quarters were lost those days.
Where's King's Quest? Ernest Cline explicitly referenced the Sierra Entertainment's game, King's Quest, through Halliday's first game Anorak's quest. He even uses the Sierra Entertainment's start-up story for Gregarious Games Simulations.
So it was you. Just seen Spielberg's version of your "Ready Player One" ... WOW - I love videogames. My two favourites are Beatmania (I'm a professional musician - it keeps me sharp) ... and Smash TV (as you know, a superior update of Robotron) MAME is the best ever program .. it lets you play EVERY BEST GAME EVER! (as you know) I believe there are actually "front ends" out there that let you go into a virtual arcade and play your favourite game within MAME! - like an OASIS-style virtual arcade. I still use MameUI64 ... but there are loads of other options. MAME is easily the best program on my computer - and with my X-Arcade dual controller that I picked up off the floor in TK-Maxx for £60, 15 years ago, and still going strong.... I still love playing all of the classics.
Armada, another one of Ernest Clines gaming oriented book is way better then ready player one, anyone that enjoyed ready player one i highly recommend Armada, its sick.
Armada was alright. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen Ender's Game before reading/listening to Armada. Since they are almost exactly the same thing, with some minor differences.
The book is in my top 5 novels. The movie was thoroughly entertaining but did disappoint likely due to the limited backstory it could go into and "moviefying" it to dumb it down considerably. Still great though
No Filter A Nintendo Podcast would you like to tell me which video game was not referenced in the ready player one novel? A. Street fighter B. Dig dug C. PAC-man D. Paperboy or E. Space invaders ......... please answer
Missed the Galaga bug, don't kill the first two bees on the left, hide on the right let them run out of ammo, rest of game none of the 'ships' will fire, they just fly. Many, many hours on that game back in the arcade days.
Love his books and the movie. Brings out the game nerd in everyone. I find it funny that he mentions ET. Then there seems to be a pause of what he wants to say.....then moves on. Must have been in his contract with Spielberg to gloss over that debacle.
I've searched all over the internet but everyone seem to have missed this one thing and its frustrating me so ill just shout it: IRON GIANT'S DEATH IS THE SAME AS WHEN THE DOOM SLAYER DIES BY LAVA IN DOOM 2016!!!!!!
Does anyone remember battle toads? I used to love that game. I used to be addicted to battle toads, golden axe, zombies ate my next door neighbors, mega man, and streets of rage. They dont make em liked they used to
Game that started me on the track of video game addiction.... Ultima II.. On an apple 2 plus. Still remember the sound made whene attacking... WAW.. CSH CSH WAW
dunno why this movie is getting so much hate is it because it's like a video game movie? could someone explain, for me it looks pretty decent not like a culture vulture type movie
Love the interview.. not a name dropper but played and heard of ALL mentioned above. Love Gorf tho... Richard Garriot is a legend in 8 bit circles.. "Hail Lord British".. lol
You could have called "the Empire Strikes Back" "Bird Vs Camel" and no one would have argued with you.
*ECH!*
Best bird-camelfighting simulator ever, in any event.
Hoo hoo!
COBRAS! RATS! CHEFS AND BATS!
Can't forget the flying eggplants
This guy looks exactly like I thought he would
madgrinchhatter funny this guy didn't look how I thought he would. Haha
Right?
I honestly thought he would look like a teenager
Hair might have been longer ;)
Loved the portrait of Halledal
Like a Nerd? 😆
I'm still sad that they took out some of the games, where Wade plays actually plays them, and put something else to replace them. I was so excited to see a clear game of Pac Man, where he gets the coin, but that didn't happen. I was so confused why there was a racing part in the movie, when in the book, even though everyone knew what the first clue was, no one knew where to even start.
I was anticipating on watching Artemis and Wade's rivalry. But they starting flirting the moment they saw each other.
You have to read between the lines a bit for the movie. There's a thing called "gambler's fallacy," and it keeps you coming back to the casino table--or the race--even when you're close to losing everything. Not a bad thing; just how the human brain is wired. The King Kong who knocks your car out of the race is there to make you go "I'll find another way around him." Whoops! Not so fast. You have to go into the Halliday Archives, go through the videos of his life, fight through boredom, and *stay until you hit the certain line of dialogue which contains the hint about how to beat the race.*
The narrative beat of the _Joust_ thing is *there,* it's just streamlined and put into a different form.
because watching somebody play an arcade is boring...
I personally really liked that they change all of the challenges in the movie. I already know how he does it in the book, one of the best part was observing him figure it out for the first time. I wouldn’t get that feeling again if the challenges were all the same in the movie. But since they were different, I also didn’t know what he had to and was once again observing him figure it out.
They had to fit it into 1 movie
And Ludos... just mentioned once...
I dread that education will take that direction
My husband and I met in Everquest in 2001, and we got married on September 17, 2005 and have been married over 12.5 years. :) Thanks for mentioning Everquest, everyone seems to forget that Everquest was around long before World of Warcraft. (Pirates Revenge guild on Bertoxxulous!)
Lovely story. When WoW first came out I remember some people just calling it an "EQ Clone" lol, so some of us still remember the roots ;)
I was kind of sad that Everquest references were lost in the movie. I never read the book, but I felt that there was a gaping hole in the movie where EQ and WoW should have been. Lots of 80's arcade game and movie references, lots of recent online game references, but 1999-2009 got lost.
Nobody has forgotten but when wow came out why would you ever play wow 0.5?
Great
For those who've seen the movie, but not read the book, comparing the two is like comparing the old and new Jumanji. Different stories with the same end goal. Both really good stories. Personally I liked the book better, and you should read it too.
Yes the book is way better. Wade is more fleshed out too in the book.
I feel that in the writing of the book Nintendo was avoided due to copy right. I find it hard to believe he didn't love any Nintendo games enough to put them in his book.
I didn't know you need copyright to reference games in books
Nintendo are notoriously lawyer happy when in comes to their IPs.
The games he mentioned are mostly atari and arcade games, it's totally possible that he could've just not owned or played on a nintendo console. I know when I was a kid the only nintendo experience I had was when I went to my cousin's house to play it.
A self proclaimed gamer has never played on ANY Nintendo system? Mario Kart was mentioned in the movie so.......
First of all, who declared that you needed to play nintendo to call yourself a gamer?
Secondly, I'm sure there's plenty of people like that. It's not like nintendo had monopoly over consoles in that era. There's sega and atari consoles(which he kept mentioning games of btw). Like I said, it's possible to not own a nintendo but still have opportunities to play it occasionally. Maybe he went to his friend/family to play mario kart and liked it enough to write about it. Maybe he already had an atari and his parents couldn't afford / didn't want to buy another console.
"Remember Joust?"
"Ooh yeah, I 'member!"
Member asteroid
@@willsniff4644 yeah i 'member
#Joust
Even though Halo was far in time after these games, it’s the game I grew up with and it was one of the best games I ever played. I’m glad he payed tribute to it in the movie with the assault rifles, the Halo area at the shop. Also the gears of war saw gun, liked that one also.
Apparently I should watch this movie. It's really sweet that this guy is paying homage to his childhood and all the good times he had alone and with friends playing video games :)
John Smith don’t go in expecting too much. There’s basically zero 80s references in the movie and the movie is almost 100% different than the book.
Then you didn't see the movie. There are TONs of 80's References. The race alone had a ton.
paralentor I definitely saw the movie. Sadly. I was comparing the book to the movie. Not only does the movie never mention Halliday’s obsession with the 80s and the fact that basically all of the keys and gates are 80s themed tasks.

the book is just kinda of bad, the movie is honestly one of the worst i've seen this year
@@paralentor You didn't read the book ya silly toy
This """book""" is the definition of low echoed I KNOW WHAT THAT IS references
Hearing references to things I like don't make me enjoy the book it just makes me want to read the books referenced in it
I played space war on the PDP-1 at Digital's (DEC) headquarters in Maynard, MA back in 1979 while I was up there for training as a Field Service Engineer at DEC.
Kristyanna Virgona 1979 how old are you
Figurative Art Lol
i think 99 years old...
I will be 65 in Oct of this yr. I was almost 25 when I started at DEC in July of 78.

Steven did a good CGI job in this it felt like if you were actually in the game if you seen his War of the worlds film then you’ll love this one 10/10
Empire Strikes Back? You mean bird vs camel?
I was going to argue with you about the name, but then I realized that "no one would have argued with you."
you better call this game bird vs camel
"virtually" none of these are actually in the movie... I was a little let down. =(
But it was still a pretty good movie.
Adventure is.
Brad Liston
The movie and the book both suck.
The book was AWESOME! The movie was fun, but disappointing that it didn't follow more closely to the book.
@@dimensions7834 I mean... Some of it doesn't translate that well to the big screen
@@thecollector4332 nope
I'm gonna watch it on Thursday at some cinema with a recliner you can lean back and watch the screen on the ceiling, so cool! It's gonna be the premier.
There's a big Sword Art Online reference too at the end of the film
I hope so. He wholesale ripped off the entire plot for RP2
100-something games later - “those are -some- of the classic games in the movie” 😂🥋

The book is freaking amazing
No it's not.
I feel like his eyebrows are talking to me.
reminds me of another "cline,klein"
So distracting.

Thank god Ernest Cline decided to forgive Daito's life in the movie. In the novel he is killed by the IOI
efenege2 but the mega tokusatsu scene in the book😭👏🏻💔
Would have been better if he died, or just make it a more serious movie.
Laaaaaaame
That was a pivotal emotional moment in the story.
efenege2 i Was so reliefed when i saw the movie
this guy has a total of 9000 favorite games, almost every single one that he mentions is "his favorite", wow

Read the title, but slowly this time.
+Thecap
Oh wow, worthless references.
That’s actually true, and it does say he’s meant to describe why they were added into the book. Read the description
He explains why it’s in the book not the movie

This man is the only person who could’ve ever written this book! He knows so much!!!!
Loved the book, waited 3 years for the movie, and it was amazing! I can't wait to watch it again!
Kellen Bluestein I was personally super disappointed with the movie. Ready player one is my favorite book and I honestly hated the movie.
Carolina Estigarribia yeah, I just really wanted to enjoy it, but they really butchered th plot. I loved the book, but the movie really messed up the first half of the book, as well as a lot of the story.
Now we need every show and film in Ready Player One.
What about Metal Gear?
Greatest game series ever!
you think konami will actually give you a license?
For millenials a great game but not for Gen-X'ers. Go write your own book.
I don't think a game's quality is determined by the saltiness of some 40 year old virgin.
Depends on which. There IS a Metal Gear made by Konami for the NES but it is not the Kojima-made one...
I miss Aladdin's Castle. I thought that was specific to my area when I was a kid. I miss arcades.
I literally just saw this yesterday and it was so good I love it.
RockkaFella same
RockkaFella If you loved it you gotta read the book if you havent already! (In my opinion, of course) It is even better again than the movie
RockkaFella we literally saw Gundam Z fight mecha godzilla. We didn’t deserve this movie 😭

Minor factual gripe: Intellivision did not ship with Astrosmash, the game that came with the console was Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack.
Now i really gotta see this movie
BLACK TIGER!!! One of my favorite arcade games ever! My local skating rink had this game and my top high score stayed in it for 5 years.
easily my favorite book of all TIME
You must not have read many books....
easily the stupidest comment of all TIME
doc chicken well they may of. It’s there opinion, so think what you want. I enjoyed the book, but it wasn’t my favorite and that’s my opinion on it.
I met him today he was at my school! I got a free autograph!
👀😧
I thought I saw Tracer in the trailer??
Justinator you did
Justinator me too for a split-second
these are the games mentioned in the book, not the movie.
Croma he never said something that Tracer/Overwatch isn't included here.. He said the TRAILER not the BOOK
Justinator yep she's there a few times
I just love the sound bytes. "HEAVY BARREL" or... "BIG MONEY. BIG PRIZES!"
what about the back to the future time machine?
Xtuka 29
The DeLorean plays a big role in it
"VIDEO GAMES"
First 3-D graphical mmorpg was Meridian 59, and it's still running. Ultima Online is a good one, but not the first.
That eyebrow action.
Wizardry I and Karateka for the Apple II were my childhood
Loved the book but it wasn't a literary masterpiece. If you are a fan of the 80's - video games, movies, and all the pop culture / OR / Love treasure hunts = You'll LOVE this.
This guy is now on my top 10 person list . That movie was awesome.
Imagine if we could get back all the money we spent on arcade machines.....

Hello
Sounds like Facebooks new venture Meta will become pretty Oasis-like
POV you're here after reading Ready Player Two
trash, as a book, like the fierst one
Ehhhh screw the haters I loved it.
When Cline mentioned Joust in the book my inner ten year old went ballistic. Used to play that in the arcade nonstop and quarters were lost those days.
Proof you can be a successful writer without any writing talent.
Ed Fagan Lmao that was proved a looooooong time ago. Youre probably ignorant if you only figured it out now
Define writing talent
Plot, Character depth, and description. The whole book was listing video games, it takes no talent.
The lists were the worst.
Eye of the beholder,my friend.D &D reference,see what I did there.
Where's King's Quest?
Ernest Cline explicitly referenced the Sierra Entertainment's game, King's Quest, through Halliday's first game Anorak's quest. He even uses the Sierra Entertainment's start-up story for Gregarious Games Simulations.
"Everything is my favorite"
"In the end i save the world like Defender"
PUT YOUR QUARTER UP
MF DOOM
Not all old games are classics...
Not all games exist
So it was you. Just seen Spielberg's version of your "Ready Player One" ...
WOW - I love videogames.
My two favourites are Beatmania (I'm a professional musician - it keeps me sharp)
... and Smash TV (as you know, a superior update of Robotron)
MAME is the best ever program .. it lets you play EVERY BEST GAME EVER! (as you know)
I believe there are actually "front ends" out there that let you go into a virtual arcade and play your favourite game within MAME! - like an OASIS-style virtual arcade.
I still use MameUI64 ... but there are loads of other options.
MAME is easily the best program on my computer - and with my X-Arcade dual controller that I picked up off the floor in TK-Maxx for £60, 15 years ago, and still going strong.... I still love playing all of the classics.
Armada, another one of Ernest Clines gaming oriented book is way better then ready player one, anyone that enjoyed ready player one i highly recommend Armada, its sick.
This is the first time I heard something positive about Armada.
Ya Armada was terrible
I actually really liked Armada. Both his books are in my top books tho.
Armada was definitely an interesting view of video games. I could see Elite Dangerous being similar to Armada.
Armada was alright. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen Ender's Game before reading/listening to Armada. Since they are almost exactly the same thing, with some minor differences.
My favorite 4-player arcade game growing up has to be Gauntlet. "Valkyrie is about to die!"
The book is in my top 5 novels. The movie was thoroughly entertaining but did disappoint likely due to the limited backstory it could go into and "moviefying" it to dumb it down considerably. Still great though
SuperKane5 nope, but nice snappy comment to come back with

Sonic is there in the final battle, you only get a glimpse of him, but he's there just spin dashing people in the face.
I think the real question we all should be asking is: Where is Custer's Revenge?
This dude is high-key an inspiration to the ACTUAL nerdy guy

Missed the Galaga bug, don't kill the first two bees on the left, hide on the right let them run out of ammo, rest of game none of the 'ships' will fire, they just fly. Many, many hours on that game back in the arcade days.
really fun to watch.
Love his books and the movie. Brings out the game nerd in everyone. I find it funny that he mentions ET. Then there seems to be a pause of what he wants to say.....then moves on. Must have been in his contract with Spielberg to gloss over that debacle.
This video was interesting yet boring.
Im Joeba sounds like Life.
Ultima Online was not the first MMO, although it certainly was the breakthrough MMO.

Guide Anselmi
Yeah, apologies. I don't get it.

The movie was amazing but no DK, Mario, Zelda, Mega Man or Sonic?
too bad hardly any of these actually made it into the movie
Hey Wade, when are we gonna get Ready Player Three out of this guy?
I hope the movie is better than this...
James T. sadly no, this is better. But the car race movie part was pretty awesome
Personal opinion and everything. The movie sucked. If you go in expecting the movie to be anything like the book than you’re going to be disappointed.
Game that started me on the track of video game addiction.... Ultima II.. On an apple 2 plus. Still remember the sound made whene attacking... WAW.. CSH CSH WAW
Halo?
Lewis Hackett hes describing the book not the movie. The book only contains 80s references.
dunno why this movie is getting so much hate is it because it's like a video game movie? could someone explain, for me it looks pretty decent not like a culture vulture type movie
yung laflare No idea, people are just plane stupid.
E.T. the Videogame? You mean: The worst game of all time? K.
