Soulstorm was a game I desperately wanted to like, but what the team absolutely NAILED, was the cutscenes and its animations. The things I'd do for a feature-length oddworld movie in that CG style...
Still look back and can't believe this crossover even took place. I loved Cadicarus back when I lived in Mexico. He will go down as my Goat
This actually blows my mind - I worked on Soulstorm as an Environment Artist, and I've been watching both you and Caddy for years and had no idea you both talked about Soulstorm together like this!
Caddy is right, the team was tiny. The Environment Art was created by myself and my lead mostly, with some outsource dipping in to help towards the busier periods. The animations were done solo by Tom Bramall, who's an absolute beast - we both work together at a new company now. :)
I do agree with you though, as an Oddworld fan it pained me to see the design direction it ended up taking in the end. I actually said it'd probs get a Metacritic score of ~65 and was told I was being pessimistic lmao
I joined Soulstorm as my first art gig, so the imposter syndrome was absolutely killer - especially given the pressure I was under to create so much work in a few months, during the pandemic... So pretty much all alone. 😂 Caddy's words on acknowledging the team size really gave some perspective for me - I always told myself the things he mentioned, but it's awesome to hear it from a tuber that I respect.
Thanks for doing this guys ❤
you did an amazing job!!!!! i absolutely love this game! best graphics ive ever seen on the switch! 👏👏👏
I wonder if Caddicarus will ever do a video review of oddworld soulstorm or he isn't allowed/doesn't want to
Either
A. Entrenched in too much denial to objectively address the many MANY things they screwed up on (but subconciously knows he's in denial)
B. He knows the truth and the reality of how poor it was and wants to pretend it didn't happen
One thing is for sure though, if he actually liked it as much as he claims. You wouldn't be asking this question. The video would have been out years ago.
@@darthkahn45None of those things actually. He just doesn't like making reviews on individual games anymore. He says it all the time on his live streams. There's no soulstorm video because he doesn't do that anymore, and he's allowed to like something you didn't like
I got to say that I agree with what he said about not carrying for the reviews. I noticed sometime ago that I have a tendency to like "bad games", I play it, I enjoy it a lot and then later I see the reviews and other people saying that it sucks and that no one should like it. I do watch some reviews tho, because I think you should acknowledge to yourself the problems of the things you like, so you don't just blindly like it, but I still don't change my mind just because a review says I should or because someone else don't like what I like.
Exact same thing happens to me!
I think some games that are deemed bad are actually not that bad by themselves... they just play less greatly than some of the juggernauts of the same genre they're often compared to, and that makes them look worse by comparison.
From the perspective of a lifelong oddworld fan, Soulstorm was a huge disappointment.
agreed,, especially the music and the atmosphere.

That is what killed me the most. I wouldn't even have cared if it was glitchy, but the music and atmosphere was horrible. I don't understand Caddy. Is he in denial? Is he just protecting the guy who gave him so much joy? I genuinely don't understand.
It was the most disappointing thing since my son
@@hououinkyouma3864 "Omg, someone likes something i dont, they must be out of their mind or protect someone" people have different opinions
this dude is my gaming spirit animal!!! i agree with everything he says!!!
He did a voice in it, which is great for him, but he's licking boots.
The cut-scenes are amazing, but as a game, Oddysee is way more fun.
I finish it today on nov 2023 and its still have glitches.
I sucked so bad at Soulstorm that I never got past the first level. I don't think the game was designed for me lol. Still, I love Oddworld so I hope we get more games!
Wait, what?
I wish you guys would have a podcast together. 😆
I gave up on soulstorm. Absolutely hated it. Just picked it up again and I must say it’s got me a little. Still very janky! But I’ve given it a chance.
For context I’m a hardcore fan of the series. Grew up playing the first 2 games religiously. Was looking forward to soulstorm for years. It’s not the game I wanted but it’s the game they thought the community needed. It’s too easy I just admit. I want the hardcore challenge that the first two gave you.
Oh no, you didn't give it a good chance if you find Soulstorm easy. It gets tough the further you go.@@CR-ov9vk
I wish more people followed the mind set Caddy talks about, of not caring so much about other people's opinions on games and media in general. Case in point, I really, really didn't like Hollowknight. Just didn't care for it. My girlfriend is baffled by that opinion and doesn't understand why. I just don't like it. I wasn't the best at the game, but I wasn't the worst either. Just didn't like it. Good mindset to be in for sure.
I played the game on launch and all the bugs permanently ruined my taste for the game.
I just don't like doing future play thorughs. I have recorded many bugs if no clips.
I am surprised caddy liked it alot. I give it a 5/10. It wasn't worth 50 euro
What is this some sort of cross over episode **insert canned laugh track**
I genuinely didnt enjoy the first 6 levels but the more i played the more i enjoyed it and the story started to become more familiar, i understand exactly what she is saying, i got every platinum possible before i put the game down but the issue everyone is having is the same, which is the lack of immersion, theres no scrabs and paramites, the experience is not seamless like oddessy and exodus, and though getting medals makes the game more challenging and replayable, it does segment the gameplay in a unfun and forced way and often you focus too much on making sure you open 50 lockers rather than taking in the scenes, plot and characters which are the games best features - there are many aspects that made the originals masterpieces timeless that were sadly missing in soulstorm, more does not always mean better and if it is not broken do not attempt to fix it - but needless to say its not a bad game, it just didnt meet our expectations because they needlessly over delivered and added to much seasoning to a perfectly crafted home recipe
Great take!
"Added too much seasoning to a perfectly crafted home recipe" is a phrase I didn't expect to read when comparing a remake of a game to the original but is one I really like.
People say he’s in denial or licking boots. I disagree.
Like he said, he’s had a more broad perspective on it. He met the team, and understood some events that would’ve set the team back. With that in mind, it likely lowered his expectations, which is why he found it enjoyable compared to others. He doesn’t insult others who *didn’t* like it, or were left disappointed. Since he understands the long wait for it, and why people would be let down by it.
The “no bugs” thing is plausible. Depending on the copy they gave Caddy, he could’ve gotten a version that actually had most of the bugs and glitches fixed (though minor ones still persisted, which even he states).
Aye, sounds about right to me. Caddy is a very considerate person, and knowing a dev team's situation, it always grounds our expectations, which to me, is always better and keeps things less subjective to overhype or disappointment.
Soulstorm's such a good game, and I just started it
sadly it isn;t
That's your opinion. I found Soulstorm a great game.@@mihaimercenarul7467
I get Caddy's opinion just fine, but he doesn't need to be so standoffish about it.
He doesn't want to upset daddy Lorne
The dumb people not listening to what he has to say and just saying he is in denial. Just cause you dont like it or it was received poorly doesnt mean he wont like the game. God the internet is the worst thing to happen to us
I only read the script of Don't Breathe and it was awful. Still haven't watched the actual thing :D
Ive never fallen asleep in a movie but this was damn close
Just finished Soulstorm. Didn't impress me that much. Monotonous grinding and colourless. They should have just remade Exoddus and make it like New'N'Tasty. Exoddus is 10 times superior to Soulstorm. It's strange he hasn't reviewed this game yet.
if you a long time fan of this series,, you'll gonna be disappointed, the only one reason i liked and enjoyed oddworld games is the music and the atmosphere,, and there's nothing like this in soulstorm, for me there's no connection at all.
My ranking of Oddworld:
1. Stranger’s Wrath A
2. Abe’s Odyssey/New N’ Tasty A-
3. Soulstorm B+
4. Abe’s Exodus B
5. Munch’s Odyssey C
Factually speaking Abe's Exoddus is better than Oddysee, but New N Tasty was a huge miss, and Soulstorm was just a tad worse than Oddysee.
i dont think he cares.
i didnt like it, they changed too much for me. the throwing water n all that was too much. i wasnt feeling the flow of the game at all and i hate that sligs wouldnt just straight up die
Caddy stop lying to youself, it was a bad game. If it wasnt bad you would have made a review video on it already, you are in denial.
that's not a bad game, you need to think about it. It's not by just playing the first level that it's a bad game, you have no argument. Play the game, finish it and make a real critic
i loved it!
Well damn, imagine telling someone how they should feel about something they liked and others don't.
You wanna know something? I like the Mario movie. Not talking about the new one, although that one is incredible too. Not talking about the very first anime one, which I also think is a fun time.
I mean the Mario Bros 1993 one. It was weird as hell, but dammit, I liked it. It went all out with the weirdness and atmosphere, the action was fun, the setting was interesting, all that stuff. Like I've heard folks say, "it's a bad Mario movie, but it's a fun action movie", and that's the thing. To me, it's just a different take on the Mario series. A lot more people also enjoy the movie, and even some of its haters ended up growing a soft spot for it.
What I'm trying to say is, while a game being bad or good is _mostly_ an objective fact and analysis of the game itself... whether people will still like it or not is purely subjective. There are great games some people don't like, and mediocre or even straight up bad games that some people genuinely like. It just how it do be.
When I watch reviews. It's something I'm only kind of interested in.
