The devs and publishers of this masterpiece are both from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil - where it has been going the most intense climatic crisis in Brazil's recent history, 80% of the state was flooded, and in the eye of the tornado the guys still managed to finnish the work wonderfully. So proud of my people!
played it at gamescom last year. When I said to the dev "I saw this on TH-cam, I gotta try it" he asked "was it Gman?" so I answered "damn straight, sunny jim". Saw it's out today. Bought it instantly. No ragrets.
The brazilian devs behind it now ordered a brazlian dub for the game with famous voice actors from Brazil, including the guy who often voices Schwarzenegger to dub the protagonist. They know their audience for sure.
"Which for some reason has Jack holding the SMG to the side like a gangster" That was an actual technique invented by the Chinese Triad gangsters and MACV-SOG operators in Vietnam to tame the recoil of SMGs. They would start off shooting upright, then tilt the gun to the side as they held the trigger down so they could hose down their intended targets. Be it in a room or in a car. That way the recoil carried the SMG into the next target instead of them having the muscle the gun back down and fight the recoil for each consecutive target. That's how they carried out hits with the gun. (Obviously it only worked when their targets were bunched together, but that was a legitimate technique.)
The Mullet, the glasses, the clothes, the act, the car. I wonder how much influence Bean Bandit from 'Riding Bean' inspired the creation of Mullet Jack.
Friend of mine, we watch movies and anime together when we get time away from work and family. Recently we did a blind watch of several: Angel's Egg, Icizer One, and Riding Bean. Riding Bean was *bonkers*, like a constant heart attack with some of the most high-octane action I've ever seen. We were totally blown away, and instantly saddened to know there is basically no more.
Right on, man! I LOVE Gunsmith Cats and Bean Bandit. The only manga series I own (or really care for, apart from Berserk). It's criminally underutilised. Would even make for a badass video game, I think. So much potential!
This game SHOULDN'T exist. For a small team, this is...beautiful. I rarely get to say that a game hits that groove. It's a perfect blend of the 80/90's anime and hero cop motifs. It's over the top and yet perfectly executed. It feels amazing, but you only realize it when you play on the easiest difficulty that they put their all in making "flow" more sweet important than "speed". Its a magnum opus of a game, so few make their dream a reality.
I still REALLY want to love this, the aesthetic is so perfect, but the fact that the game moves so damn fast kills me. I want to explore this universe, just stop from time to time and gawk at this fecking beautiful art style, but when I'm always fighting timers and combos, it takes away from that, at least for me.
2sec in and the gameplay made me instantly think of another great game called "post void". Loved the blazing fast action nature of that game so seeing more of this is nice
Speaking of saxaphone solos, never forget that Tim Capello is still around and still awesome. He's also featured in a few tracks with GUNSHIP for those wanting a taste.
I suspected that you commisioned your outro by the artist of that game. xD Amazing style, love it, definitely on my boomer shooter list. After Turbo Overkill. ^^
One of the few games where its more fun to play the hard mode but the only backside is that use other weapons makes it harder to get headshots and nutshots
" we don't get enough saxophone solos as we should " this is an underappreciated take. I'm a musician and I'm always saying we need more sax and horns in music. SAXOPHONES ARE SEXY DAMMIT!
I love this game so damn much, I finished it, bought the artbook and ost even before I played the game, such a damn masterpiece. Easily my favorite game this month. Selaco may be my 2nd favorite
The game has settings that let you turn of flashing lights and camera shake. After unlocking all achievements motion sickness hasn't been an issue at all.
This game is ridiculously cool looking. The imagery is incredibly hypnotic, I didnt listen to most of what you said because I was so immersed. Also, the game is very reminiscent of 90s SEGA. Really miss those times.
Normal mode is easy to me but the challenging mode is whipping my ass. Don't care though, since the game is a riot. Just when I got done with numerous Cyberpunk 2077 playthroughs I keep going back to these cyberpunk worlds. No complaints here.
Surprisingly, the plot and lore of Mad Jack's Mullet turned out to be deep, philosophical and intense, raising questions of existence, awareness, the role of will and choice, the meaning of life and humanity. After graduation, I want to watch the sunset and think about the meanings. Deep...
Terminal ADHD is apparently an excellent game mechanic Also, gianni voices Mr. Bullet. As a synth enjoyer i fully agree we dont get nearly enough of the sweet sweet sax
I purchased this yesterday after playing the demo now i see you did a video on it. Great taste 😘👌watching you play it so cleanly as opposed to my bitton smashing, i need to slow down a bit and take it all in
I always forget GmanLives isn't just a guy living in his parents basement but a man a wife and kids. Probably for the best. Personal life is best kept personal.
I like fast pace shooters, and I like Anime, so this is fine. That lady seen in the Peace Corp codec reminds me a bit of Asagi Igawa from the Taimanin series of visual novels and OVAs, and one of her portraits has that hint of Oboro from that same series. Side note, yes, I did mention the Taimanin series. There's always Action Taimanin that you can try out, if you're a massochist.
Buy the game here, cowards:

I HAVE PUT 6 HOURS IN ON THE DEMO ALONE , CANT WAIT TO BUY THIS WHEN MY CHECK HITS LETS GOOOOOO
It looks fantastic. I only fear my old man hands can't keep up anymore.
The worse thing about your game is the deep crushing reality I feel after it was over. Can you patch it so the fun doesn't end ):
Runs great on deck too, awesome game

They actually have a Gmanlives easter egg in the game
@@amalayum Play Mullet Mad Jack, game has an easter egg to Gmanlives plus he is given special thanks in the credits
Really? No regrets? Not even one little letter?
This game seems to be more fast paced and chaotic than Ultrakill. And that's REALLY saying something.
It's Post Void but OVA with TikTok and pop-cult references
As a fan of ultrakill, it is, just bought the game and played it. Brazillian compatriots goes brr
@@u_da_man888 Sales in Ukraine will also go brrrrrr because the game has Ukrainian Language at launch.
Not really, the intense detail and vibrancy does give the illusion that it is

Cool...
I hope GGGman has a video up...
*checks youtube*...
...Outstanding!
This game looks like something a politician will look at and say, "Violent vidoegames are destroying our youth."
not fast enough
Once the AI are in charge, their politicians will decry this anti-robot violence.

So they took post void and made it anime cyberpunk? Sign me up
I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE SAID IT OMG
I was so hoping you'd review this again when the full game released, didn't expect you to be so fast though!
He only had like 10 seconds.
Hotline Miami if it was a first person Anime.
We already have that with Project Downfall
Post Void if it was shit
I still REALLY want to love this, the aesthetic is so perfect, but the fact that the game moves so damn fast kills me. I want to explore this universe, just stop from time to time and gawk at this fecking beautiful art style, but when I'm always fighting timers and combos, it takes away from that, at least for me.
You're in luck: the game ships with a timer-less mode as an accessibility option. Have fun!
@@thewitheredstriker You son of a bitch, I'm in!
Man this game's style is speaking to me. I miss 80s/90s anime.
The "shoot the fan to slow them down" was me, by the way 😉
Great review as usual, sir.
I KNEW I'D SEEN THIS ARTSTYLE BEFORE.
When you pointed out it was your outro, i was like YEAH! WHAT!?
Can't believe this one got released before AngerFoot.
2sec in and the gameplay made me instantly think of another great game called "post void". Loved the blazing fast action nature of that game so seeing more of this is nice
You know when i first saw this game i instantly thought of your closing Patreon screen, i knew the style looked familiar!
That's Samurai Cop with a Katana XD
"What does Katana mean?"
"It means Japanese Sword."
The outro is a work of art
Speaking of saxaphone solos, never forget that Tim Capello is still around and still awesome. He's also featured in a few tracks with GUNSHIP for those wanting a taste.
The sax really is underrated
Can’t wait for tomorrow where Gman does his video on PO’ed: Definitive Edition
Might be a bit too visually busy for me to play but I do like the style
This looks simultaneously awesome and like it would make me dizzy as hell playing it.
I like how the Post Void comparison ended at what was practically "Yes but this won't give you a seizure.".
Will put me to sleep though
oh man i was really waiting for this, gonna play today =D
G always helping us to find badass shooters. First Bears in Space, now this. Good times
5:25 Neon genesis evangleion!? Gmanlives you mustn't run away!
This really is a game that has to be played to be seen. TH-cam's low bitrate is doing it no favors whatsoever
Funny that you mentioned Ultrakill since Mr. Bullet Head is.voiced by Gianni Matragrano ...the same guy that voiced Gabriel
2:04 No way he did the Akira bike slide with a car!
BUT I LOVE THE ONE LINERS! I even use the upgrade to make him talk more.
Fuck yes. I do hope this vibe and aesthetic catch on. Currently looking forward to Scramble Vice.
Gmanlives by day...
Mullet Mad Jack by night! 😎
At this point, he's just gushing over himself. Lol
looks like a really awesome game love your ending credits cenematic aswell.
I suspected that you commisioned your outro by the artist of that game. xD
Amazing style, love it, definitely on my boomer shooter list. After Turbo Overkill. ^^
lol, the handgun reminds me of the Heavy taunt from TF2 when he goes: POW!💥
Thanks for showing me this. Sounds perfect. Gonna buy it after finishing your video. Can't wait to grow out my mullet for this one
Man, I'm so excited for Selaco! I'll be playing MMJ till it comes out
Snatcher: The FPS.
Looks really good.
I like that fun little detail of some robots looking like Ultrons and a mix of terminators.
Well, I'll be damned. I did not know that about your animated outro, but it sure makes sense now that you've said it. Good choice!
One of the few games where its more fun to play the hard mode but the only backside is that use other weapons makes it harder to get headshots and nutshots
Saw your outro play in one of the tvs in this game, very nice easter egg.
This looks like what I imagined the Dr. Disrespect game was supposed to be before it was announced to be an NFT BR game.
" we don't get enough saxophone solos as we should " this is an underappreciated take. I'm a musician and I'm always saying we need more sax and horns in music. SAXOPHONES ARE SEXY DAMMIT!
I love this game so damn much, I finished it, bought the artbook and ost even before I played the game, such a damn masterpiece. Easily my favorite game this month.
Selaco may be my 2nd favorite
Now we just need a anime themed spectacle fighter inspired by that A Rated anime with all those girls and ogres
How about we just have GMan review Action Taimanin? I know you're referring to the Taimanin series without mentioning it by name, I know, I know!
Looking dope but also crazy motion sickness dispensing
The game has settings that let you turn of flashing lights and camera shake. After unlocking all achievements motion sickness hasn't been an issue at all.
I love the ridiculous look of this game and the wild frenetic action. Added to my steam library. Got to support developers for making games like this.
If Shadow Warrior met Hotline Miami meets Bulletstorm.
Meets Max Payne 3 New York Minute mode
This game is ridiculously cool looking. The imagery is incredibly hypnotic, I didnt listen to most of what you said because I was so immersed. Also, the game is very reminiscent of 90s SEGA. Really miss those times.
The art style looks so good. Anime fps should become a thing
I’d love to see this as an actual anime. You can tell just about everything in this game is made with so much love and dedication👌
Amazing Video GmanLives.
Really enjoyed the Easter egg they threw in there as a nod to you.
So this is OTXO in first person with a world inspired by Masimune Shiro
Wishing this was on console cause my pc can’t take this amount of crazy
Its like the movie "Crank" in video game form
Gott say, this one looks pretty sweet! And With all this carnage i feel like you missed a MEGA KILL, ULTRA KILL... M M MOOOONSTER KILL reference ;)
5:18 Yeah, from that famous 1988 _Bubblegum Crisis_ Revenge Road Anime Episode 😍👍
pace is so fast, keeping time up ia essential
+1 for throwback Bad Dudes reference, great video!
Normal mode is easy to me but the challenging mode is whipping my ass. Don't care though, since the game is a riot. Just when I got done with numerous Cyberpunk 2077 playthroughs I keep going back to these cyberpunk worlds. No complaints here.

GMAN! If you love sax solos I 100% recommend The Midnight!
I'm on floor 50, and it's kicking my ass, lol. Game is super fun!
Glad they brought back the spin for the DB shotty.
I love that you and your channel exist.
When I first saw the game, I thought it was a pulse-pounding VR type, which I always find amazing! Now I know what it really is, it's even better!!
So the premise of the Crank movies with the gameplay of Deadlink? Sold.
Terminal ADHD is apparently an excellent game mechanic
Also, gianni voices Mr. Bullet.
As a synth enjoyer i fully agree we dont get nearly enough of the sweet sweet sax
I really like these momentum based shooters with a 'go or die' gimmick. Ghostrunner is another good one.
this looks like a game from a cartoon, and the main characters get transported into it
My eyes and youtube encoding still don't like screen shaking, but I remember you telling me it can be thankfully turned off, looking forward to that!
I purchased this yesterday after playing the demo now i see you did a video on it. Great taste 😘👌watching you play it so cleanly as opposed to my bitton smashing, i need to slow down a bit and take it all in
I love how very 90s anime voice acting the Livestream host sounds lol
It's like a video game adaptation of Post Void...
I always forget GmanLives isn't just a guy living in his parents basement but a man a wife and kids.
Probably for the best. Personal life is best kept personal.
Looks like Post Void finally got a full release.
Reminds me of a balls to the wall Coded Arms I’m loving the game
So sad we never got to experience the 3rd game coded arms assault 😩
This has the looks of a game you see in the background of someone's tv in a adult swim show
I was literally just thinking about you when I seen this game. lol Reminds me of your outro xD
Reviews like this is why i love this channel
Thank you for saying to more people how good it is, brazilian here, more then proud of this game
God this game looks and sounds insanely fun. Great tribute to anime and shooters in general.
Cant wait when you review released Prodeus ❤
One Of The Best Games Of 2024. I love it! We need more 1980s Synthwave FPS's! I'm so glad that this game came out.

This is what game is playing in the background of a film
I actually did not realize that your end credits were done by the same people that's insane
Thanks for the Dead Space 2 reference 🙏🏻
This reminds me of the game Jimmy from gtav would always be playing
