This is like if Shinji Mikami shared the concept of The Evil Within with David Cage first. Except instead of making a decent game, Cage said "Hold my beer."
"Hold my main character down on a pool ta- NEVER MIND. I mean, Hold my koopy sandwich" EDIT: Has anyone noticed that the protag for Past Cure, no joke, looks like Sad Ethan and Norman Jayden did the fusion dance?
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter: The Scary Door.
So this game was made in Berlin. I'm starting to wonder if them Europeans are just so damn rich that they'd forgot what living in small houses feels like. On the other hand we have the Russian developers who can only imagine people living underground tunnels or tile-lined concrete hell where your best buddies are a bottle of vodka and a worn kalashnikov.
Was this made in the former East German part? Because, as I learned from Super Bunnyhop, game development there is a generation behind the rest of Europe, which would help explain this train wreck.
It's right next door to Rural Europe, where RE4 happened. You would think that Rural Europe would be part of Evil Europe, because of all the evil, but there's a really complex history there
if we do that our David Cage will just absorb his strength and we will have a The One situation in our hands, we need to lock them all up in cryostasis like in Demolition Man
We need to put them against each other so that they will Cage each other too death trying to one up each other with shitty gameplay and horrible storytelling
"Whichever piece I move, the other two will be taken. I need to sacrifice the weakest piece." *moves his pawn, saving it and sacrificing his queen and rook* Nailed it.
This has the style of Heavy Rain, powers of Beyond Two Souls, the main character at times looks like and older Ethan Mars, his first name even SOUNDS like Ethan (Ian/Ethan), seems to have blackout/hallucinations similar to Heavy Rain, and he lives in a Heavy Rain-esque home. All they needed was actual rain and they'd have themselves a sequel lol
Am I the only one who immediately knew the game that Matt was talking about in 3:18 was Alekhine's Gun? Goddammit FH! But yeah, it feels like the PSN store is littered with garbage. Makes for good content though.
If this is just a quick injection of David Cage heroin before we overdose it gives me plenty of time to rewatch the trailers for my bingo card, I already got “spousal abuse but with robots”, “horrific sex scene attempt but with robots” and “this is a metaphor for racism but with robots” locked in.
I'm waiting for "This has nothing to do with the world it's just a game and the robots don't represent anything... not even robots... stop reading too much into the game which is clearly supposed to be read into."
This feels like a game made by like 10 people and only maybe 2 were decent to good at their jobs and the rest were mediocre. Like, some stuff is fairly well done and most others are weird and disjointed. Like, maybe one of the art guys was really talented and some of his stuff managed to make it through their limited budget and (likely) time but their designer and voice director sort of bumbled through it
This game was presented to you by the Hans Zimmer Foghorn™. Honestly though: The concept is actually really interesting. Even some of the images look alright if the pacing was better. Imagine this by a competent developer.
2:15 Okay, I now know that I use the same kind of computer as these two chuckleheads. When Pat turned the volume up I had the video full-screen, and the exact same volume control popped up that I see when I adjust it. I thought he had somehow hacked my computer via this video before realizing "no wait that's stupid."
This game is like something made in the equivalent of a Sketchy "Ice Cream" van that obviously cannot actually make ice cream, and is just a regular van with Ice Cream stickers plastered on, that are rapidly peeling off it and fluttering into the wilderness.
so you guys always freak out about reflections, which yeah back a few years ago were more complicated and expensive, but now in UE4 you can get live reflections on any surface if the roughness of your material is set high enough and you set a reflection capture actor in your scene.
So here we have an inspired indie game made by a team that clearly has drawn inspiration from only the greatest of minds. David Cage. Truly his influence has left its mark on all of us.
Well I knew the gameplay would prolly be pretty bland as soon as the character control came in and I saw the camera angle but still The asset door is too strong
I don't know what's worse. Them insulting my habit of sleeping with my clothes on, or them complaining about playing a game that has a Neil Breen plot.
You know what's really fucked up about Zardoz? you look at the trailer and clips and think it's gonna be the worst shit, then it actually has meaningful messages about societal control, the way violence is used in positive connotations, and the ennui of eternal life. I think if the costume designer hadn't been completely insane then that movie would be much better received
I have only ever gone to sleep in my clothes. I actually astonished me later in life to find out that almost no one does this. I actually feel uncomfortable sleeping without being fully clothed.
I know I'm supposed to say something about the game, but I'm impressed by the fact this video has 1.5k likes and only 21, twenty-freaking-one dislikes. That is one hell of an approval ratio dudes. This audience is awesome lol.
Dude right when Matt said "time to get coffee" my coffee pot dinged. And it sounded as if the ding interrupted him and he said that. What the actual fuck.
You give the person who spread the infection to the past the cure before they go back in time. Like Back to the Future but in reverse and with anti-biotics.
Can't find any info on the music this game uses. But it reminds me a little (a goddamn lot) of Xero Music "Field Recordings from the Edge of Hell". I recommend that highly. A couple of hours of fantastic ambient there, folks. If you're into that kind of thing.
Why did the game give them the same four enemies three times in a row? With the man's "There's too many of them" line, I was starting to think that they were supposed to fail.
So this guy has astral projection, can slow time, can send out EMP waves, is a talented marksman, supposed genius...this reads off as either some shitty self insert, or as a c-tier marvel character
The Evil Without
Quality Game Design
This is like if Shinji Mikami shared the concept of The Evil Within with David Cage first. Except instead of making a decent game, Cage said "Hold my beer."
more like "hold my scrapbook of ellen page"
"Hold my main character down on a pool ta- NEVER MIND. I mean, Hold my koopy sandwich"
EDIT: Has anyone noticed that the protag for Past Cure, no joke, looks like Sad Ethan and Norman Jayden did the fusion dance?
And they stole backstory notes from Hideo Kojima.
Little did he know "hold my beer" in Japanese sounds a lot like "make it extra shitty and nonsensical" in French.
Implying David cage is capable of making a good game 🤔
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter: The Scary Door.
You are waiting for a train Ian.
Do you guys have David Cage withdrawal or something?
Oh god, next week.............
The Pickles wait, that shit comes out next week
Jonathan Almanza
Yes....
It comes out on 5/25, we still have plenty of time to stock up on alcohol and pills to deal with the davd cagedroids
spleeks mcgleex there's not enough alcohol in this reality to endure the cage
So this game was made in Berlin. I'm starting to wonder if them Europeans are just so damn rich that they'd forgot what living in small houses feels like. On the other hand we have the Russian developers who can only imagine people living underground tunnels or tile-lined concrete hell where your best buddies are a bottle of vodka and a worn kalashnikov.
Porkinski to be fair, both of those are fairly friendly
A bottle of vodka and a gun can get a man through many lonely nights
Tbh, I would take the vodka and Kashnikov in the tunnels over the creepy David Cage rich sex house any day.
Was this made in the former East German part? Because, as I learned from Super Bunnyhop, game development there is a generation behind the rest of Europe, which would help explain this train wreck.
Porkinski Yeah, compared to the bullshit that was Fallout about how all society is all fine and fucking dandy after the nukes have dropped.
"Those games are from Europe, this is from Bad Europe!"
Ah yes, Bad Europe, where evil happens.
It's right next door to Rural Europe, where RE4 happened. You would think that Rural Europe would be part of Evil Europe, because of all the evil, but there's a really complex history there
Dark Europe. Europa Black. Final Europe. Europe, Gone To Heaven. Shadow King Europe. Hopefully one of those sounds sufficiently cool.
Which Europe is CastleVania?
Europe Part VIII: Pat Takes Europe
Where Dogchild happens.
I thought this game was called Pat's Cure and got excited.
Hypno-Thorax Sorry, there is still no cure for ginger.
Rogaine doesn't work.
There is no cure for Patinitus.
You can't cure [Crazy Talk]
Pat has gone to unspeakable lengths to cure his gout
Good to see Ethan getting work after Heavy Rain.
There may be multiple universes, but there will always be a "David Cage". We're just encountering another universe's David Cage, do we kill it?
yes they can't exist in the same universe and meet otherwise we're all dead
if we do that our David Cage will just absorb his strength and we will have a The One situation in our hands, we need to lock them all up in cryostasis like in Demolition Man
We need to put them against each other so that they will Cage each other too death trying to one up each other with shitty gameplay and horrible storytelling
No, no. Just let it play out.......for now.
I have to agree with rigenstein, let them remain, we cant have an omegacage running loose.
"Whichever piece I move, the other two will be taken. I need to sacrifice the weakest piece."
*moves his pawn, saving it and sacrificing his queen and rook*
Nailed it.
This has the style of Heavy Rain, powers of Beyond Two Souls, the main character at times looks like and older Ethan Mars, his first name even SOUNDS like Ethan (Ian/Ethan), seems to have blackout/hallucinations similar to Heavy Rain, and he lives in a Heavy Rain-esque home.
All they needed was actual rain and they'd have themselves a sequel lol
Holy fuck, Ian Protagonist has heterochromia, doesn't he? This has to be David Cage working under an assumed name.
I legit thought it was a stolen Ethan Mars model when I saw the thumbnail for the video.
This game takes itself as serious Shadow the hedgehog.
That's a mark of quality.
_but I really like heterochromia tho..._
even ian's name sound like ethans if you'd skip the "th" part of the name!
Man of Culture *_BUT I REALLY DO THO..._*
The shattering ceramic effect on the tutorial enemies is pretty cool. Shame about literally almost everything else.
Taradoxxi I wish it had used that stock pottery crash sound that Matt loves
A Bone reference was literally the last thing I excepted in this video
Can we ever cure the past?
What could we ever possibly prescribe?
_Let's try spinning, that's a good trick?_
Gyromancy
Am I the only one who immediately knew the game that Matt was talking about in 3:18 was Alekhine's Gun? Goddammit FH!
But yeah, it feels like the PSN store is littered with garbage. Makes for good content though.
Alkaline's Gun*
It's a weird 3rd person knife throwing simulator
Funhaus playthrough of this game is a gold mine!
i was waiting for him to start screaming JASON
but im sure i wouldnt be able to hear it.
Ethan Mars enters STEM to look for Jason.
So many mix of ideas here. It looks like it has potential. And definitely ambitious like they mentioned
If this is just a quick injection of David Cage heroin before we overdose it gives me plenty of time to rewatch the trailers for my bingo card, I already got “spousal abuse but with robots”, “horrific sex scene attempt but with robots” and “this is a metaphor for racism but with robots” locked in.
I'm still holding out for "no guys it wasn't a metaphor for anything after all".
That game's gonna be a shit show, and I can't wait for these fucks to lp it.
Shhh now. Just let the drugs do their work, it will all be over soon.
Don’t forget “nonsensical supernatural element but with robots.”
I'm waiting for
"This has nothing to do with the world it's just a game and the robots don't represent anything... not even robots... stop reading too much into the game which is clearly supposed to be read into."
God this feels like someone tried to do an homage to David Cage..but like did a way better job..
They unintentionally made something that is at least gameplay centric and interesting.
Full lp when?
Welcome back to *_AAAAAAARRRRRRRT!_*
_"Blood-Art Technique!"_
Why are we playing Slowbeef in a suit?
This isn't Dead to Rights.
This feels like a game made by like 10 people and only maybe 2 were decent to good at their jobs and the rest were mediocre. Like, some stuff is fairly well done and most others are weird and disjointed. Like, maybe one of the art guys was really talented and some of his stuff managed to make it through their limited budget and (likely) time but their designer and voice director sort of bumbled through it
This a pre sequel to present placebo?
What even is this?
Who did that?
Germans, East Germans possibly.
This game was presented to you by the Hans Zimmer Foghorn™.
Honestly though: The concept is actually really interesting. Even some of the images look alright if the pacing was better. Imagine this by a competent developer.
Several years later I still love the Kirby song intro
The PC ports of both Trails of Cold Steel and Cold Steel 2 also allows you to change the button prompt icons.
The prequel to 'Future Disease' I take it?
.......you mean Detroit?
The near future..............
A sequal to 'Present Illness'.
Thanks for making me smile.
nah, Present Disease, Future Disease is the last game of the Trilogy
No, Past Cure is the sequel. The prequel is Present Prevention.
Cure Past isn't my favorite type of Precure at all. Can someone get Cure Yell instead? She's great.
I prefer Cure Sunny but all I'm seeing is Pure Cage.
I hope this playthrough is only two parts because the game is just that short, but I really want to see this through to the end.
15:58 i love how there's an origami model on the pillbox
i got 6 mid-roll ads while watching this video... seems a bit excessive.
Why is Ethan Mars in red Heat mode on the title screen?
Omg I really hope they change their mind about this being a 2 parter and just do the full LP!
33:40 why does Ethan Mars even need SUPERNATURAL POWERS to manipulate things _in his dream_ ? lol
What a mysterious jogo
It's nice to see that even in crappy horror games, Pat still runs by all of the items.
Past Cure is what the Cure will call itself when it does a 'back from retirement' world tour.
this dude's voice acting is hilarious. 'fuck. how do i beat this.' YOU'RE HAVING A HEART ATTACK DUDE
I thought the guy looked more like Ethan Mars than Max Payne.
I see the concepts and mechanics that could lead to a cool game and I'm sad that this is clearly, clearly not a cool game
Past Cured, Memory Creared
Neal Breen? Isn´t that the homelass man who lives in the desert and makes movies about him being cyber Jesus?
"Ian come over here!" "Psyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiche"
I KNEW BECOME HUMAN WAS DAVID CAGE RIGHT AWAY AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE FULL PLAYTHROUGH OMG I CAN'T STAND IT!
“Hey Reddit. I’m having schizophrenic hallucinations. Any suggestions?”
“Yeah dude, I got you covered. (Insert suspicious URL)”
Some parts of this feel like they spent the annual net income of a small nation on it, while others look like half a week's paycheck from Wal-Mart.
2:15 Okay, I now know that I use the same kind of computer as these two chuckleheads. When Pat turned the volume up I had the video full-screen, and the exact same volume control popped up that I see when I adjust it. I thought he had somehow hacked my computer via this video before realizing "no wait that's stupid."
This game is like something made in the equivalent of a Sketchy "Ice Cream" van that obviously cannot actually make ice cream, and is just a regular van with Ice Cream stickers plastered on, that are rapidly peeling off it and fluttering into the wilderness.
The detail I like about the enemies is that they have holes of where you last shot them.
so you guys always freak out about reflections, which yeah back a few years ago were more complicated and expensive, but now in UE4 you can get live reflections on any surface if the roughness of your material is set high enough and you set a reflection capture actor in your scene.
I want a full LP of this tripe.
Wow I just remembered this game. Memory Crearing.
I love that Matt knows about Bone. I personally believe that series didn’t get the attention it deserved.
So here we have an inspired indie game made by a team that clearly has drawn inspiration from only the greatest of minds. David Cage. Truly his influence has left its mark on all of us.
I'v heard people falling asleep sound more enthusiastic than Not Ethan Mars being on fire.
I've never seen a game go from looking fuckin' promising to immediately losing potential as fast as that first door opening
Well I knew the gameplay would prolly be pretty bland as soon as the character control came in and I saw the camera angle but still
The asset door is too strong
Death Metal would chuckle at ian's beach "paradise"
Blocky V, the greatest movie of all
I don't know what's worse. Them insulting my habit of sleeping with my clothes on, or them complaining about playing a game that has a Neil Breen plot.
You know what's really fucked up about Zardoz? you look at the trailer and clips and think it's gonna be the worst shit, then it actually has meaningful messages about societal control, the way violence is used in positive connotations, and the ennui of eternal life. I think if the costume designer hadn't been completely insane then that movie would be much better received
I really want a full play through.
one of my favorites
That guy looks like the last person I would trust with curing the past...
Please full LP?????
Is there a bird in the house?
Danny: WHADYA MEAN A BIRD!?
I have only ever gone to sleep in my clothes. I actually astonished me later in life to find out that almost no one does this. I actually feel uncomfortable sleeping without being fully clothed.
Nothing lets you down like the phantom D.
I know I'm supposed to say something about the game, but I'm impressed by the fact this video has 1.5k likes and only 21, twenty-freaking-one dislikes. That is one hell of an approval ratio dudes. This audience is awesome lol.
I like that he sees a chess-puzzle and goes "man, fuck this".
Bone was a pretty great comic. Wasn't much of a fan of how the last few parts of the story went, but it was a big part of my childhood.
It's like if David Cage directed a Neil Breem script, and wrote "extreme boredom" into some famous actor's voiceover contract.
Dude right when Matt said "time to get coffee" my coffee pot dinged. And it sounded as if the ding interrupted him and he said that. What the actual fuck.
Did anyone else notice that Ian's brother has the same voice actor as the Umbrella Executive on the radio in Operation Raccoon City?
Critikal roasted this game till it was a pile of ash. So I'm checking out of this let's play
Jim Sterling did a play through of this dog shit too, he roasted the hell out of it.
Joe Willson Yeah, 'cause roasted food is all that walking tub of goo can consume.
I can’t wait for the next episode of be-John two Wicks
So... how exactly _does_ one cure the past? Give Father Time some Parecetamol?
You give the person who spread the infection to the past the cure before they go back in time. Like Back to the Future but in reverse and with anti-biotics.
guys
guys
guys
full lp of this i beg you
“Alkaline’s Gun” vs “Alakhine’s Gun”
Honestly hard to see the difference there :)
That fighting ghost is blocky paloa
I feel like you guys loaded a fucking save file in the middle of the game, what kind of exposition am I fucking getting
Can't find any info on the music this game uses. But it reminds me a little (a goddamn lot) of Xero Music "Field Recordings from the Edge of Hell".
I recommend that highly. A couple of hours of fantastic ambient there, folks. If you're into that kind of thing.
Why did the game give them the same four enemies three times in a row? With the man's "There's too many of them" line, I was starting to think that they were supposed to fail.
This Pretty Cure game is NOT what I expected.
When do they get to fight Pissard?
I was really hoping to hear the voice actor trying to do a falling death scream
The "music" in the game is just a softer version of the THX noise.
The main dude reminds me of the dad from Heavy Rain.
Honestly, that title intro at like 19 min in kinda reminded me of the Akira
He has psychic powers. I guess its too much to expect this would be like Second Sight at some point.
Maybe on harder difficulties there's actual puzzles, challenge, gameplay, etc?
I'm not convinced that this isn't just a tech demo for UE4 made by some German guy
The gameplay seems ok, but the story is SICK!
"MY KEYS?!"
*selects gun*
26:56 *NEXT TIME, I WON'T MISS*
So this guy has astral projection, can slow time, can send out EMP waves, is a talented marksman, supposed genius...this reads off as either some shitty self insert, or as a c-tier marvel character
This was absolutely hilarious
When are you doing nier automato? I cant get the game and i need to see it.
