For 23 years i wove music into my life. This game truly felt like it was made for me, all of this time i wanted to perfect my rhythm, losing it sometimes to scattered thoughts and concepts to ponder, suffice to say this game changed this, from the "Dance with Korsica" to the "Wolfgang" fight. Everything culminated in "Invaders Must Die", one of my favorite bands, playing my favorite tunes, completely out of nowhere. A wide grin slid across my face as i felt like a kid again, excited, giddy even. Absolutely stormed that level, thought and input became one and that's when i truly FELT the music. Like actually actively swam with the current, stopped worrying, a feeling of existing fully in the moment, there was no keyboard, mouse, screen, game. Just thought, rhythm and input, as if you were one with the virtual and that was AMAZING. Suffice to say i could never replicate this feeling but for a game to move me to my core, teach me to "let go and be in the moment" even for a few exquisitely crafted minutes, well, last time that happened was 15 years ago and Hi-Fi Rush will stand in my Top 3 until the end of my time.
I can 100% relate on the "doing actions in time with music, even when it does nothing" quirk, it's one of the simplest joys of the interactive medium, in my opinion. I only wish I paid enough attention to know there's an entire game built off of that. Here's hoping the Tango Gameworks staff is given their proper respect, time, and appreciation to make their next game. Excellent video, and whenever I can find the time, I'm happily buying and playing this ASAP. Keep up the great work!
My whole life I've wanted a rhythm action game, so when I saw Hi-Fi Rush get shadow dropped and immediately purchased it and played it. The game absolutely delivers on everything I ever wanted out of this vision, and I hope more people try the game, it deserves so much more praise
Hi Fi Rush has easily become one of my favorite games, if not one of my favorite pieces of media to ever exist. It makes me so sad what happened to Tango, but it also changed my life so much and it inspired me to want to create stuff. I genuinely don't know what I would've done without this game and there aren't any words I can scream to express how much this game means to me and changed my life. Thank you for making this video
Great video! I've only recently got obsessed with the game (managed to be the perfect game for my tastes) and can only hope that things go smoothly with Krafton and hopefully the sequel will be something the Tango team are proud of.
Turn the dial on my words I can feel them fall short Turn the dial, chime alarm, chime alarm Watch these hands move apart Turn the dial on my words ;_;7
It's sad that the studio got shut downed after the drop from Microsoft... :/ PS: OHHH, that's good News that they got a new publisher. :D Hoping the best from them :D
30:52 VOID STRANGER MENTIONED!! Krafton picking up Tango has me /cautiously/ hopeful for their future; the massive wave of similar acquisitions by Embracer ended up being totally unsustainable, and I don't think it panned out great for everyone they picked up - I hope the situation with Krafton is not the same.
Totally understand the cautious optimism. Only time will tell how Hi-Fi Rush's future will be treated, but the people from Tango who made the leap to Krafton have my full support. They're the ones who have the ability to make that future bright. Also, System Erasure rules! If you like them, you might really enjoy the next couple videos I have cooking (whenever they come out lmao)
@@SiGNet_GM System Erasure kicks ass. ZeroRanger ensured I was day one on Void Stranger, and they now have me by the throat for whatever they do next, even if Black Onion never releases.
Cool video, it's a fact the industry is even greedier than before with all the unfair layoffs, there are still excellent AA and AAA games fortunately and i just hope things get better at some point. Hi-fi rush is indeed a Miracle, an welcomed fantastic anomaly, i made my angry that xbox almost killed tango even if it actually sold well even with the gamepass bs unlike other glorified company support that made flop after flop shovelware for almost 20 years, and 1 or 2 good original games down the line (JAPAN STUDIO COF COF) people actually bought HIFI and support it like it should be.
I get where you're coming from, but I have a ton of issues with it still. I think it represents some of the worst practices of modern Capcom 1. Online play is required, even if you're playing solo with bots. 2. The survival pass is just like other modern battle passes, built to take your time and money. 3. The game is done receiving seasonal updates, but you can't select which survival pass track you want to work on like in games like Halo Infinite or Deep Rock Galactic. They're on a monthly rotation, so if you have a specific one you're interested in, you'll have to wait multiple months to progress it. This is almost definitely done to try to boost player retention and keep them coming back every month. 4. All of this is attached to a game that is still full price. There's care and passion put into all the games I showed during that comment, but they're still designed to take advantage of the player for profit, imo.

The world is a better place with the things people create, so take that inspiration and use it however you see fit!
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
Great video! I've only recently got obsessed with the game (managed to be the perfect game for my tastes) and can only hope that things go smoothly with Krafton and hopefully the sequel will be something the Tango team are proud of.
Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words
;_;7
Amazing video, everything I've always wanted to say about the game. Thank you for making this.
Im honestly shocked that this video doesn't have more views.
These things take time! If you have a friend you think might enjoy the video, sharing is always appreciated :)
Damn man your channel should have more subscribers.
Just some parts where you voice was a bit low.
But keep on going brotha, you can get big ;)

It's sad that the studio got shut downed after the drop from Microsoft... :/

This video is hella good but come on man exoprimal wasn't soulless, it's different that's for sure but soulless isn't it.
