Sifu is the martial art movie you've always wanted to play! Ever wondered what it would be like as an actual movie? Sloclap partnered with director Christopher Clark Cowan (youtube RivenX3i) to bring SIFU to live action in this short film shot in LA. Discover our main character as he hunts down Fajar, one of the assassins who killed his father.
Sifu is the new game of Sloclap, the independent studio behind Absolver. A third person action game featuring intense hand-to-hand combat, it puts you in control of a young Kung-Fu student on a path of revenge.
Pre-orders available on the PlayStation Store - Last chance to get the 48 hours early access: : store.playstat... - เกม
Underrated idea. Taking the training montage to the afterlife and coming back with a cost of several years from every failure. It's poetic.
i really hope it doesn't end up being cheesy with the big bad turning out to be an older version of himself
edit: nevermind. just realized this game is out already
Kind of like in Dragon Ball
@@longebane and is it exactly how the game ends?
@@different_stuffnope
you mean like Chronos from the ashes? released in 2020
Yikes, he forgot to wipe his death counter at the shrine, classic mistake.
Man went from his 20's to 40's in just one death.
He decided to get more health on takedown instead
Went from Novice to Grandmaster.
He’s probably just practicing and gonna go for a no dearth run after
Im at the tower at 20
Would have been funny if he went in wearing a tank top and after his death he has a shirt on
I can most definitely see this becoming a movie, one of the best game trailers I’ve seen thus far.
The game has been out for a long time tho
Well lucky for us… they are trying to make it a movie. With one of the John Wick guys attached I believe
I'd argue the game is a better cinematic experience than a movie could ever be. There's just no way to convey the level of badassery when someone else does it, games are unique in that they let you, the player, feel the challenge, the growth, the mastery, and in the end, the journey that is unique to you.
@@twall91 That would be perfect, they could even make raid style.
What are you talking about? This trailer doesn't show anything exciting..
I like that the younger version, the less experienced version, of the protagonist is kind of slower, has a more choreographed fighting style, uses brute force, rather than technique; but then the older version of himself suddenly is more experienced, and you can see that he moves quicker, moves more fluidly, has a more elegant fighting style and he uses more redirecting, like using weapons against an assailant rather than a direct attack style.
💯💯💯
This was amazing. I need this to be a TV Show with multiple seasons.
your mom needs to be a TV show with multiple seasons.
@@DoozyyTV got em
Sameee
@@DoozyyTV Watch Warrior I think 2 seasons out so far.
If halo can get a TV show……..
I haven't seen any videogame trailer that screams "live adaption movie!" more than this in a loooooong time. Thank you! I had a blast watching this! This is wonderfully choreographed and looks fantastic. Awesome work!
You should see the live action trailer for the game of ‘sleeping dogs’ (there 2)
@@kuroinova2056 Thanks for the hint! I saw a short movie (a little short of 4 minutes), don't know if you meant that one. Looked nice, but I didn't like the quick cuts. The last awesome love adaption trailer I have in mind was "Uncharted" with Nathan Fillion and Stephen Lang. That was crazy IMHO. :)
Ghost of Tsushima is getting a live adaptation movie with the same actors
@@DanHyoudou That sounds awesome! 😍
you are so right bro!
Alternate Ending:
"How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!"
🤣
Someone had to say it 😂😂
This needs to be a full film!! Best action shots I have seen in a very long time!!
It's going to be, the director to John Wick is on board, this'll be his second video game adaptation, as he is also working on Ghost of Tsushima
@@keiichimorisato98 wait, rlly??
@Kazuma's Journey of Song yes, i tried posting a link to an article, but IGN wrote an article on it.
@@keiichimorisato98 I can only imagine how sick that'll be!
look to the raid 2 ;)
The best part of this trailer is the fact that there isn't that many camera cuts. It shows cases the fact that these people can actually fight and are really doing these things. That's what makes it so impressive
that's how you know the raid made a huge impact on action movies
just watch the raid
@@idgaf6009 Ever heard of Jackie Chan?
Not many camera cuts? There's a cut about every 3-4 seconds, with exceptions. You sure we watched the same clip?
@@punawelewele if u watch the fighting sequences there aren't that many cuts lol. Meaning they could actually do the fighting sequences and didn't have to cut every punch to make it seem like this happened or this happened. Just like if u watch old Jackie chan movies or the Ip man series. U can see the fight sequences taking place rather than a cut for every punch. Pay more attention🤌🏿
This makes me want to buy the game. This was better than most action films in the theater. wow
@ggx it’s on PC
buy the game you wont regret.. so fun
*all action films, not just most!
I watched the movie raid redemption got me wanting to play the game sifu 🔥
@@Parkkh2239 Yes. I've had it since last Sunday and I'm still not even passed the second level. 🤦🏽♂️
I'm off this weekend though so I will fix that bs.
Those actors are amazing. Haven't enjoyed a fight scene like this in a long time!
Man, have you played the game? It's pure energy.
Check out The Raid films!
Underrated part is how the goons just melt away like they’re not even there until they’re an active threat. Just a great way of showing Sifu’s mindset
This was insane. A lot of effort went into make the action smooth, clear and impactful. Well done
It was done by the guys who made The Raid films.
@@solid5502 you're fgn lying.
@@solid5502 It really wasn't. The creators are named in the credits, none of which were involved in The Raid. Also The Raid is an Indonesian movie, why would they even be involved in this.
it was done by an action cinematographer named Christopher Cowan, you might know him from Kingsman and Shang-Chi. He also created his own fanmade spinoff of My Hero Academia from his YT channel, Rivenx3i
with a budget that Sony has, I'd hope so.
This is probably the best live action cinematic trailer for a game I've seen in years.
As far as live action cinematic trailer goes I think this might be the best ever for a game
I think Batman Arkham origins with the Batman v Deathstroke is the best cinematic trailer I've seen. This one is actually a live action trailer.
@@mkzwrld7641 yeah, I meant live action, arkham origins takes cinematic
@@kingbuusaki7130 Oh it's def up there with Halo live action but those are very short, this had me captivated the whole way.
There is a watch dog one too check that one out.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a trailer for a game be this well done, this well….perfect. Wow!!! This deserves a standing ovation. Seriously incredible.👏🏽🔥
I would definitely pay to see a Sifu film. And if they do it with the quality of the trailer, it would become an instant classic.
I already love the game..." The only true mistake is one from which nothing is learned "... That quote got to me
Thats also the mindset you need to play the game
Wasn't it, the worst mistake?
@@sidlukkassen9687 No, the quote is implying that nothing is a mistake if you learn from it. To “learn nothing” is the “true mistake”.
Also "Focus only on what is necessary and disregard what is not" then how he sees only the caged gate and not the 2men got me.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE, PLEASE MAKE AN ACTUAL MOVIE OF THIS
I agree! Makes me wanna buy it now lol
Someone get Mark Wahlberg on the phone RIGHT NOW!!!!
I just want a ton more of this...
The games amazing, but I just want more of this.
I got this game 3 days ago. It is one of my new favorites, always wanted a beat em up with fighting game mechanics. This live adaptation IS the game, excellent portrayal.
It doesn't have fighting game mechanics
One of the best trailers I've seen in a long time, especially from an indie dev. The visceral fight scenes are reminiscent of The Raid. Amazing.
thinking the same thing
😀
Literally watched both the raid 1 and 2 yesterday
It does have resemblance in camera work too. man this looks great. I hope the game will look similar to Sleeping Dogs animation wise but with a much more in-depth combat system. Can't wait for the release.
then go and check - watch Donnie Yen movies especially Ip Man series :)
indie dev rofl not anymore if the game succeed itll be another Returnal studio acquisatiobn but seems it aint gonna happen when Returnal was the time when PS5 didnt had an exclusive title
Christopher Clark Cowan is the one who directed this and the guy is exceptional. He's come a long way from short fight sequences and Naruto live action on TH-cam way back in the day. From his other short films (e.g. My Hero Academia: UA:LA) to major motion pictures (action direction on movies like Wonder Woman and Shang-Chi), it's obvious he understands and respects the source material, and has the vision to translate action, martial arts, and anime to the screen. Glad he's getting more respect on his name. The next time Netflix or Hollywood want to adapt anime or gaming culture to live action...put Cowan in the director's chair.
I wonder how the guy behind Street Fighter Assassin’s Fist is doing, no idea if he’s done anything or not, and the Assassin’s Fist sequel is nowhere to be found. They both come from similar roots.
@@Alex_Logan22 If you like this, also check out the guys from the TH-cam channel called MartialClub. They do their own martial arts stunts and recordings. My favorite of their's is called Ip Man - The Intercepting Fist (2020). One of them was featured in Shang-Chi as Death Dealer.
He had a role in Kingsman 2 as well.
This blew me away! What an epic intro to a super fun game (super hard, super rewarding)
The guy that plays Sifu in this live action adaptation is INSANE!! His movements are incredible
don't forget to thank the camera angles and special effects too.
I love this part. They could have gone with the inevitably cheesy, "he just fights them because he's awesome" way to write this scene. Which would have been fine, but instead they took a moment to bring in the overall narrative: he only focuses on what is necessary; which is an actual Kung Fu philosophy. It totally makes what would have been an otherwise unsurprising scene work: 1:39
Amazing choreography, amazing camera work, incredible sound design. Superb adaptation of the gameplay and systems. Beautiful commercial and piece of art.
As a native Chinese person (born in China, full Chinese) I absolutely love this. I love that these are all clearly native Mandarin speakers, and that this is my home culture being portrayed in a not-gimmicky way in a mainstream game.
I love it. The team is super respectful to the culture
Kinda jealous you know your culture, being black it was sort of lost and hidden since birth and now have to be searched and relearned.
Were you able to understand all the Mandarin here? I got a decent amount of it but being from Beijing a lot of the word choice was puzzling.
@@unmessable12 Yes everything was legit Mandarin. No weird English accent or awkward expression.
@@zucjook204 Must be my Beijing accent then
This deserves a slow clap, because it's frigging incredible! So well shot! Can easily see what's happening in the fight scenes, really well edited, incredible!
7:57 dude i was reading your comment and this part showed “SLOCLAP” haha
Please make a movie , I’d absolutely pay to see such a masterpiece
Fun fact: Christopher Clark Cowan (youtube RivenX3i) was also the action designer for Shang Chi! Amazing work here by him and the team!
Zhang Meng Er (she played Shang Chi's sister) was also involved in this short as a mandarin translator!
I remember watching them back in 2011 their channel was booming with the Naruto and street fighter live action fights. Wish they'd post more on their channel today.
The king's man series and Wonder woman plus justice league
@@ESFDragxnFistEntertainment I mean, it appears that they're working behind the scenes to make that UA:LA (My Hero Academia Spin-off series) into a reality. Although, the few times of them doing Naruto related choreography loop is still amazing.
Wait, this is RivenX3i? Well no wonder the whole thing is sick.
Dude, whoever did this deserves a thanks! So well done considering the budget...filming a fight scene is not easy, what you see in 10 secs might take hours to film. The dialogue and everything was great. Whoever made this if you are reading this you did amazing! I just wanted to let you know that. And if you wanted to crowd source money for a film along these lines I'd be happy to fund it.
Christopher Clark Cowan aka RivenX3i, his name is in the credits of this live action short.
"Whoever did this"
If only there was a way to learn who! Like some sort of scrolling text at the end of cinema to credit those responsible.
Oh well, guess they remain nameless for all time.
Dude, read the credits.
And it's fight scenes are better than most Hollywood for the simple fact that the camera doesn't shake to hide the action. We can see the action clearly
Christopher C. Cowan & Ray Martinez 😂 are responsible for this short film 🎥
Incredible! This was better crafted than 99.9% of $100M hollywood productions. Wow!
Wow. This really needs to be a full movie. Take my money.
Outside of the choreography, direction and aesthetic of the short film, which is stunning. What I also love about this is that it gives insight into the mind of the character and how he perceives enemies.
He really only engages if they get in his way, until that point, they are invisible as far as he's concerned.
I really want to try to take this approach in gameplay if possible. Can't wait till the game releases next week!
Exactly, I won’t be attacking anyone that aren’t targets (or bosses rather, most likely), and just countering everyone else Arkham-style.
I thought it was neat how the protagonist's strikes gave more camera shake in general after his aging to show a physical increase in power lol
He’s practicing Wude, and that’s something the player must learn after confronting Yang.
That was an awesome live action adaptation! This not only made me more excited for the game when it comes out but also is awesome in its own right
5 more days !
@@The_Primary_Axiom 1 more day for us deluxe people
@@KnightBX Whaaaaat. No way that's not fair lol. You mean for PC ? I didn't know there's a February 4th release date?
@@The_Primary_Axiom lol just preorder the digital deluxe. You get 48 hour early access to full game. So you will be able to play it this weekend
@@KnightBX 3 more days you mean? It's available Feb. 6th as opposed to Feb. 8th
Bro this needs to be a movie ngl
It felt like I just watched the whole movie. I enjoyed it.
That was truly impeccable, better than many blockbuster movies.
@@thenotoriouspunk692 I’ve been watching 80’s Hong Kong films for a long time. I’ve never seen a Hollywood film come close, but this truly did.
That's hilarious because this the same director who directed Kingsman, Wonder Woman, and that one My Hero Academia spin-off pilot episode.
The live action adaptation of the game looks amazing. You can tell it is made by people that know how to do proper fight choreography.
Great game as well 👌
This is legendary, words are not enough to describe how great it is
I knew it was Chris before his name even showed up at the end. This kind of choreography and camera work has him written all over it. One of the best action directors in this generation.
Got some the raid vibe over there
Viva chiná
@@user-vu3cb5ik6w thats the raid director and many of those actors from that movie in this clip, they are silat practioner
INDEEED! WHEN I SAW THE ACTOR, I PREDICTED THE SAME RIGHT AWAY!
seems pretty average to me
WOW !!! SIFU ROCKING THE WHOLE UNIVERSE RIGHT NOW !!
calm down
@@TheBaconpunch no, I will not you beta person called "TheBaconpunch"
😩
Dang! That was epic! The game is amazing but THAT.....THAT was reeeeeeedic! Absolutely does the game justice! BRAVO! What a breath of fresh air! Haven't seen martial arts in a movie like that for a loooooong time.
Every second is so Poetic, this NEEDS to be a full length film!!! Makes me wanna watch Onk Bak the Thai Warrior now
I'm even more hype for Sifu!...and someone PLEASE hire this Team to make the live action adaptation of this game! This whole production Team is so gifted!
Dear game developers:
I think this is really amazing that you guys made this. I can see the love and care that went into making this game. I am so looking forward to getting my hands on it and I can already tell that it will be an amazing experience! Thank you I’m advance. You guys are rad!
This was actually really amazing! Great job. Left me wanting to see more
That looks so sick! And you can tell that there went a hole lot of effort in the filming just on how smooth the action is. This game could easily be an action movie
I was excited for Sifu before this video, but now I'm absolutely PUMPED!
Great job to the team that produced this!
For real this is up there with Halo Live action and if you haven't seen it the "Diablo IV Announce Cinematic | By Three They Come" which is also amazingly done! Watch it if you haven't seen it. .
This should be it’s own tv series or movie. Make it happen Sony
So much better than many modern action films out there. Simply clean and amazing choreography.
this game need a movie seriously
This is one of my favorite games of the year so far. This would be an amazing mini series if they decided to really write it out and make some great characters. Christopher C. Cowan is a MASTER at his craft. He has been doing amazing things on TH-cam for years.
COWAN made this? No wonder.
Its February
@@void_godThey said one of the best, and I agree with them
RIGHT!! I just plugged his TH-cam, I was hoping there were more of you guys who knew his work. His Hero academia adaptation was freaking AWESOME
@@void_god Hence, "so far."
Goodness, this was beautifully well done! I love the cinematic call-back to the "focus on what is necessary, disregard what is not" quote. When the protagonist could only see the doorway and Fajar and acted like all the other enemies didn't exist I thought that was really clever!
The scene at 5:39 where he keeps replaying his death and figuring out what he did wrong was also incredible!!!
2 YEARS LATER THIS short film is extemely hyped yo Sifu is GOAT'ed as this generation best technical beat em up.
I got the platinum trophy for this game yesterday.
This is not just an indie game.
Dude the combat here was amazing and is what all combat in movies should strive for. It looks so brutal like fighting in real life and yet also looks so graceful with the addition of the martial arts, truly well done.
Okay, but when can this be turned into a full-blown mini-series? It has all the right pieces - a simple but compelling narrative, superb action direction, cinematography, and the tragedy of the lead sacrificing years of his life for revenge. Y'all need to get on that, please.
This is exactly how the game makes you feel.
No sé si entienden el español pero al ver éstas cosas aumentan mi amor por las artes marciales. Recuerdo cuando esperaba con ansias la salida de ABSOLVER, un juego totalmente desconocido pero que lo jugue el primer dia que salió y lo terminé. ME ENCANTÓ!!! Sigan con el buen trabajo muchachos ya que inspiran a mucha gente a jugar y a seguir conociendo las ARTES MARCIALES!!!
This game is going to be sick!!!!!
Alvin is a top notch action lead. Boss look with the beard. Great team and action 👍
He played the Green/White Ranger for Bat in the Sun’s superhero beat down episodes too.
For once I'm not surprised to see you in a comment section 😄
This is some of the best camera work and sound design I've ever seen in a martial arts scene. Absolutely phenomenally captured, the fight choreography is flawless, and you can "feel' each impact.
Brilliantly done.
Now make a movie... wait, better still, make a TV series please.
You haven’t heard the news 😁😁
What happened? Is this movie out yet? Is it canceled?
The choreography looks sick!! 🔥 The game is also challenging and bringing something new to the industry great job to the devs 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i agreed about the choreography, but imo there's some unnecessary vfx like the dust particle, it didn't feel natural for me. despite all that this looks great
@@daryllsalamb.1922
Dust is always used in Kung Fu movies 🤣
lol i like that bringing an old style of gameplay back from the beginning of gaming and innovating on it slightly is "bringing something new"
it's BASICALLY a rogue-like lol
@@D-Thang_ Jackie Chan has a very interesting documentary on that and other tricks on youtube somewhere.
I was hoping he'd throw the pipe at someone!
But for real, I love action sequences like this one. The camera doesn't cut to other angles needlessly so we can actually see the moves they are executing. This was super cool. Wish there were more!
Make a full film please and thank you! This was awesome!
PLEASE MAKE THIS A MOVIE! PLEASE!
this looks sick, especially the movement and the effects showing how every punch hits. I would unironically watch this movie in the cinema if they make a full movie
no way dude would only watch it ironically, as a joke.
Chris Cowan really knows how to shoot action, he's one of the best in the business if you ask me
I will admit, this could quite easily be a film i'd love to see.
"Focus only on what is necessary. Disregard what is not." A great line that pays tribute to Bruce Lee's saying: "Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own."
This is one of, if not the best live action video game trailer I've ever seen. Major props to everyone who worked on this
This 10 minute live action trailer for a video game has better action choreography than most high budget Hollywood movies these days.
Uriel: Un sifu live action sin morir 💎🐀?
when you see that one stunt man had a body pad on, then realize that theyre all taking the hits for real
6:29 "it is at this moment, he realized that... 'When did you grow a beard"?
Should make a whole show about this
I want the full movie.. now, before, yesterday! 😍
Turning this into a full length movie would be amazing. I can them doing so much
1:30 nobody pays mind to subtitles but this is so important. Great visual effect not only coordinates this moment of focus for hearing impaired but also helps convey the moment much more powerfully as 2 senses (sight and hearing) are relaying the same message.
Chef's kiss.
I was beginning to wonder if they were gonna include death & aging in this live adaption. Absolutely awesome. Best thing I've seen in a long time. Gonna be getting the physical copy when possible for the PS5.
This stunt team is absolutely insane
It been a long time I seen a live action of video since Skyrim and Sleeping Dogs, I really love those game. I definitely going to buy this game someday.
/)
Seriously hope this game wins a load of awards, the game is amazing with a mechanic I’ve never really seen before. Not to mention this live adaptation was sick!!!
This choreography was beautiful. I want the whole film now. So hyped for this game.
Sifu. You beat me. You broke me. You hurt me. You beat me while I was down. For a game with a mechanic that takes years of your characters life, it also took a lot of years of my actual life.
10/10 great game.
After seeing this, I want to see a Sifu Moive be created.
This was one of the best action scenes I’ve seen in years!! Please make a live action movie!!
This reminds me of that badass live action trailer we got for sleeping dogs! The music in this epic!!
That was what I was about to comment! The similarities are uncanny
@@Kh088 Well I mean, both trailers are refrences to classic Martial Arts films same with the games they're based on, so it makes sense there would be similarities.
I'd forgotten all about that trailer! And to think, we were supposed to get a movie from Sleeping Dogs that never came to fruition. Sadness.
When a live action trailer for a video game does action better than most action movies.
“I will succeed before my time is up” are words to live by.
Now this is how you advertise a game in real life. Very well done. The stuntman who injured him with the machete looked like the one from the MHA real life adaptation fan tribute. I think his quirk name is Heiki.
Correct, that's Jay Kwon. Funny that you mentioned that MHA spin-off considering it's the same director. 😆
Thanks so much for clarifying Scott. I love these directors. They inspire me everyday.
Thanks for giving me the actors name.
@@scottjameson5358 Jay's a badass man glad I found his channel through sloyerstunts sure he was in the punisher too
Just want to add, the director's youtube channel is called rivenx3i. You can check all sort awesome work he did there. He's also action designer for Shang-Chi, King's Man, & many others
I knew it was Chris Cowan the moment I saw the choreography. Dude is a beast!
One sentence:
WE NEED A MOVIE
Lowkey impressed. Really loved the fight choreography. Better fight scenes than any movie you see around tbh.
This is pure talent. I love everything already about the game, this live action is even better, this needs to become a franchise, the world needs more stuff like this. Congratulations Sloclap, you did a amazing game, and concept as well.
This was nothing short of an incredible trailer. Well done to everyone involved. I can't wait to play the game tomorrow!
Bro memories every Dark Souls boss pattern until he gets old 😂
I like how the bad guys keep running into his punches like they enjoy getting beat up.
As a filmmaker I peeped and appreciate that little camera trick of jerking the camera upon impact at 1:57. That's a nice touch I'm going to add to my method of filming action. Thanks.
Legitimately guys, I haven't been so excited for a game in a while. The thought behind it, the gameplay looks so slick and polished. Indie devs are the ones we need to protect
