I can definitely say that this is going to be my favourite monster jam game, it reminds me of all kinds of games, urban assault with the outdoor racing, its confirmed that the map will somewhat be like path of destruction, and enhanced graphics of steel titans, I can't wait to preorder on steam. I also think the alternate paths will be balanced by not having as much obstacles, so its a choice to get ahead but not get as much boost, or stay behind and get more boost, kind of like mario kart with coins.
Good takeaways friend. I've been a little apprehensive about the shortcuts but I think you're right, there does seem to be some balance in there with the destructibles and boost meter. It's definitely going to be a fun game no matter what! Can't wait!
That's a good question, they haven't really talked about how we go about unlocking variants. I'm going to guess that we unlock them through our profile level and through completing challenges. Can't wait to play the game and find out though!
Fun fact with Legend. This is the first time I think since Monster Jam Battlegrounds that Legend has the yellow beadlocks and original MJ logo in the same game. The yellow beads and zoomies look from 2015 was to be implemented in 2019 but was cut for unknown reasons but you can still see the postcard of it in the Steel Titans art book
I know it wouldn't happen, but War Wizard would be awesome to see. I also wonder what world finals track they'll have. Maybe it would be WF 23 and WF19 but if they put in WF 9 I would be astonished
The Legend also runs the older Monster Jam logo, kinda wish they gave it zoomies like Steel Titans but I get why they didn't. Really want to see Captain's Curse as I wanna see how they do the chassis with the skinny cab(would be claustrophobic in first person view if it's in the game), but I'm assuming Rottweiler and Black Ops will be 39 and 40.
Interesting... I don't know, I'm still thinking that Rottweiler and Black Ops are going to be variants or DLC picks. I can't imagine them launching without Captain's Curse, and the more I think about it the more sense it makes to have DIGatron in release.
Big Kahuna will also be on that list as well as apart of the DLC and Backwards Bob i think its the odd couple Dlc you also will have maximum destruction qnd NEA police added to the list
It'll be on the Switch, it just won't have cross play multiplayer on the Switch unfortunately. Which is a bummer, but you can still play with other people who have a Switch, and you can play by yourself on the switch no problem.
Personal opinion: this will be much better than a Steel Titans 3 could ever have been. I don't blame you for waiting, but watch out, you'll miss out on some pre-order bonuses you may be interested in!
Jester's confirmed and the original Maximum Destruction is a Gamestop preorder bonus in the Law and Disorder pack with NEA Police, and will be a regular DLC later.
I'm so sorry that Milestone made this game. As a player of the Hot Wheels Unleashed games, things will look great at first, before ultimately falling flat. Milestone is an awful company, and I really hope they dont ruin it for you. They will appear to care at first, but you'll discover ultimately that they dont give a crap at all once they have your money. I hope you guys fare better than we did.
Watched your whole video by the way, good video! That Q and A and some of the concerns you have are definitely things to be wary of. I know from experience, take EVERYTHING from Milestone with a grain of salt. Theres a very good chance this releases worse than you expect. You seem to have your eye on some of the potential concerns, definitely keep your eye it.
I appreciate your feedback. I'm definitely independent of milestone and so I feel free to call out some of the shortcomings as I see them. Still, I do have high hopes for the game and I hope they listen to player feedback. That being said, I have heard some of the drama on the HWU server, hopefully it gets resolved and milestone responds appropriately.
@@ToucanPlays Considering I got timed out for a week for asking for a little more communication from them on the work they claim they are doing on the game, in a very respectful way, my hopes aren’t very high sadly. I hope things go better for you and your passionate community than they did for us. At the end of the day, i want communities to be happy.
Here’s a question for the developers: Will Grave Digger have any of his anniversary schemes as variants for the game?
That's a great question! I'm sure the developers are working hard to bring some exciting variants to the game.
JCB Digatron is gonna be in the game, either as a base or DLC truck, I can't see them leaving it out
100% agree with you. It's just too popular for them to leave out. I'm hoping it'll be in the base game.
2:50 That Maximum Destruction body just looks....off
?
Maybe Maximum Destruction is going through a mid-life crisis!

Question: let’s say we unlock velociraptor, will we get all the different velociraptor variants, or do we have to unlock all the different variants
I say we unlock the variants, that would give the game a lot more purpose to play, but I don't think they will be hard to get.
@@Carno_The_Bowhead_YT I don’t think so if there’s I think like 140 different variants of like 70
That's a good question, they haven't really talked about how we go about unlocking variants. I'm going to guess that we unlock them through our profile level and through completing challenges. Can't wait to play the game and find out though!
Yeah i want to unlock the variants because it would just give You more to do imo@@Carno_The_Bowhead_YT

That's cool! Thanks for sharing the history. I love learning little tidbits like that
I know it wouldn't happen, but War Wizard would be awesome to see. I also wonder what world finals track they'll have. Maybe it would be WF 23 and WF19 but if they put in WF 9 I would be astonished
Well, from what I understand the tracks are "based" on real life locations but not duplicates, so who knows how accurate they're going to be.
@@ToucanPlays so we might see a custom world finals track just for the game?
The Legend also runs the older Monster Jam logo, kinda wish they gave it zoomies like Steel Titans but I get why they didn't.
Really want to see Captain's Curse as I wanna see how they do the chassis with the skinny cab(would be claustrophobic in first person view if it's in the game), but I'm assuming Rottweiler and Black Ops will be 39 and 40.

We need vendetta like the classic and newer one and both el diablos in the game
Totally agree with you! Vendetta and El Diablo would be epic additions to the game!
Monster jam gold grave digger
Watch out, the Gold Grave Digger might just dig up some buried treasure!
Big Kahuna will also be on that list as well as apart of the DLC and Backwards Bob i think its the odd couple Dlc you also will have maximum destruction qnd NEA police added to the list
Yes indeed, the pre-order and Big Air bonus trucks are going to be a lot of fun!
I can’t wait I’ll buy new game!! I love monster jam!
Thank you for sharing your excitement! I hope Showdown is as fun as we hope it will be!
I think 39 and 40 will be Over Bored and Rottweiler, especially since wild side is confirmed
Oh yeah? No Captain's Curse huh? I know a lot of folks are banking on Rottweiler, I think Over Bored is a long shot, but maybe!
@@ToucanPlays oh man I didn't even think about captains curse🤔
I think it’ll be bad company and digatron, and I think overboard could be in a dlc with miss overboard
@ToucanPlays my final 2 is going go be definetly Rottweiler and Captains Curse, ones like Bad Company, Over Bored etc. could be DLC
I think Rottweiler would just be an alternate scheme, so I'm hoping for Over Bored and JCB Digatron
Do you reckon there will be a collector's edition with a diecast, like Steel Titans #1 which included a gold 1/24 Grave Digger?
I truly hope so, but it seems unlikely at this point. They've said that the Standard and Big Air editions are it so I guess that's that.
I do also hope that the purple grave digger the legend design is a livery in the game
Totally agree! That design would be epic in the game.
@@ToucanPlays yeah 👍
Hey, what’s up? Remember me I saw that you posted this seven hours ago so I had to watch it.
I'm wishing that captain's curse is gonna be in the game atleast
He is
@@CasualPrawnOneSixFive oh
He'll be in there for sure, just don't know if it'll be at release or later for a DLC. My money is that he'll be in there for release.
I have trust issues of MJ Showdown bc I feel that MJ Showdown is not on the nintendo but I feel like it is.
It'll be on the Switch, it just won't have cross play multiplayer on the Switch unfortunately. Which is a bummer, but you can still play with other people who have a Switch, and you can play by yourself on the switch no problem.
I'm so happy that I got it preordered but even so I do hope people won't be missing out on a lot if they don't.
I preordered too so I’ll be getting Big Kahuna And Backwards Bob…
@@WldPegasus and maximum destruction! Plus a pass
@@Aimmmers yep it’s why preorder is sometimes better than simply buying it when it releases
That's great that you got it preordered! I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
@@ToucanPlays Having showdown based on racing is smart, since freestyle is already seen as a better part
I can't wait to play the game its getting close to August im excited
Same here! August can't come soon enough for the game release!
I’m ready for the og max d..I’m from Paxton Illinois
Thank you for sharing your excitement! I appreciate your support.
Yes sir!!! Can’t wait to see what videos you have in store for this game!!!! Enjoy!
Guys will we have Calavera & Batman???? 😢😢😢
Maybe, but only as DLC I think. Not in the base game.
I guess I was hoping for Steel Titans 3….this is ok but not a Day 1 purchase.
Personal opinion: this will be much better than a Steel Titans 3 could ever have been. I don't blame you for waiting, but watch out, you'll miss out on some pre-order bonuses you may be interested in!
What about jester maximum destruction and over bored?
Jester's confirmed and the original Maximum Destruction is a Gamestop preorder bonus in the Law and Disorder pack with NEA Police, and will be a regular DLC later.
Pk
Ok
Over Bored is likely not going to make it at initial release, but is a good contender for DLC. We'll just have to wait and see!
What about bulldozer?The monster truck the brown bull
Bulldozer is an absolute beast of a monster truck! ... but I don't think he's going to be in Showdown, the rights to the truck are no longer with FELD
Why can't we pre order the game ?
I don't know man... I share your frustration though!
@@ToucanPlays yah I'm am
