I like wolf Guy
Have you never played Mr. Driller? That's what the pupper game is based on, in fact it's a straight up reskin.
@@thomasroehrman7587 No, im talking about the Playable Character Werewolfy Butler who is A Martial Artust in a Suit
Ever try their other games? Honkai impact 3rd and Tears of Themis? Though I’m not sure you’d be interested in the latter as even though it’s an Ace Attorney like for the most part it’s Al’s majorly an Otome game.
@@thomasroehrman7587The protagonist of Mr Driller is the son of the DigDug protagonist right?
The animation in this game looks fucking awesome, so full of bouncy energy.
No, this is not a joke about certain physics.
It is funny because one of the most bouncy characters, the catgirl has no-
@@Elmithian the most bouncy character is Ben-
@@dragirby "ONE OF" the most bouncy is what I wrote. I have been trying to write super short comments to try to avoid people just skimming, but you sir, you sir managed to skim a single sentence!
I kid, I know we all sometimes miss stuff like this. : P
This makes Senran Kagura look realistic
I watched some streamers play the beta and it was very consistently distracting, particularly with Nicole and Grace.
Someone mentioned that Billy moves around like he's from Hotel Transylvania and I can't see it any other way now.
XD
"i find the monotone characters a bit dull" your favorite princess is rosalina
edit: i feel like i should say this is a joke since i didnt expect anyone to actually see it
Damn brother you went straight for his throat
Fucking cooked 😭 lmao
Bro didn't let him cook for a second
Is Rosalina monotone?? I have never seen that
Nah Rosalina is fan service. XD
If THIS was how 3D Anime looked, NOBODY would complain except for the purists.
Other than Trigun Stampede, yeah
yea red jacket guy was movin around like classic trigun or like brock in pokemon. ever since spider verse (and to a lesser extent guilty gear xrd) theres been alot more energy that been being put into 3d animation i feel
Yeah, it's weird how everyone can do better 3D anime than the japanese anime industry, barring a few exceptions. I single out the anime industry, because their gaming industry is fine. The new guilty gears come to mind.
@@LyaksandraB The issue with the anime industry is that it sucks. Animators are constantly overworked and underpaid and most studios try to rush out as much anime as they can for as cheap as possible.
@@PoorPlyserArcSys games too
The "bouncy" animation style found in most Hollywood animated movies, like Hotel Transylvania, combined with an anime art style is incredible!
Not entirely, this was seen a lot in late 90s-early 2000s anime. This was the vibe I’ve been getting from ZZZ since the first trailer of it.
@@codywilliams7557 Which ones? I grew up with some of the cheapest-looking anime of the '90's and 2000's--mainly Pokemon, Sonic X, filler arcs in Dragon Ball and Naruto, I was young and inexperienced, then. This is one of those instances where I MUST be proven wrong!
@@codywilliams7557 examples? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Animaniacs, Freakazoid, KND, and other Western 'toons don't count as anime, zoomer.
Yes, Scott, I'm sure you loved studying the "bounciness" of some of the characters.
Ehh...I'm not really into the bounciness if I'm honest.
@@thardump859 Like the bouncy animation or uhh “bouncy” characters? Either way, valid opinion
@FilthyCasualty The boobs physics are pretty egregious imo and serve as a reminder of how blatantly sexist Hoyoverse is
@withercat1801
Public interest/profit ⚖️ People choosing to be offended
You can say what you want, but anime have made bank off fan service for decades. Meanwhile, companies choosing to appease the pearl clutchers never wind up well off. In short, sex sells.
@@withercat1801 ehhh imo it just makes it look like a porn game which are cool but there is a time and place for everything come on.
Billy is DRIPPING with chaotic Deadpool energy, and I'm here for it.
Also, if you like Soul Hound, you'd probably enjoy the game it's based on, Mr. Driller.
Whoa just watching these intro clips the characters seem so full of life and not stiff its honestly really impressive
The first time ive genuinely considered playing a hoyo game, besides honkai impact. The combo of bouncy animation, hoyo's signature fan-service, gameplay style, fan-service, mini-games, and did I mention the fan-service?
And this has the fanservice I love, BIG BARA BEARS
I'm tempted to try it too, but I just know I'm gonna be disappointed by its monetization. MiYoHo have a track record of making good games with horrible pricing.
@@xtrem5428 there's plenty of worse in terms of monetization, chill, dawgity
@@Jason75913 By your logic, just because one murderer murdered 30 and the other murdered 5, we should let the one who murdered 5 off the hook. It is thinking like this that got the gaming industry comfortable with their scummy practices.
@@truewhissan unholy sh1t, son, no one said or implied that

Dunno if Hoyo still doesn't do this but for the love of god, *either archive story related events or don't make story elements a limited time event* I don't care about missing the rewards but there isn't much reason for new players to play a game with a major lean on story, and then tell them they can't enjoy all of the story while reminding them they missed character introductions that came from a one time 3 week event
This is exactly why I'm never playing genshin impact. FOMO only drives people away once the time period is over if it was important content.
They actually do this with Star Rail, and I suspect that they'll make a point of doing it going forward.
They've been talking about finding some way to do it reasonably with Genshin, but I think the big issue for them on that front is disk space (Since a lot of those big events are pretty big and having them permanently in files would massively increase disk space usage, which'd be rough on mobile/console players).
@@Kuruyami What they've started to do with _Honkai Impact 3rd_ is allow players to choose which parts of the game they keep the data for. I think it'd be awesome if they did this for their other games too. Maybe even make it possible to choose what you plan to do from the game launcher to cut down on load times, especially in _Genshin_ . Resource management like this could save some players' phones, seriously.
@@BNuts It would definitely be nice. If they made it possible to like archive/clear out audio files/cutscenes from completed portions of the story quest, that could theoretically save dozens of gigs of space.
Not sure how they would handle it for new players though.
I saw a clip of this game's cutscenes, and it was jaw-droppingly good animation. The animators worked hard and CARED about what they were doing. It's insane.
"I find the monotone characters a bit dull." As someone who likes monotone, I'd be willing to bet (or be proven wrong) it's the shitty writing for most of said characters that bugs you. A *lot* of writers make monotone characters then fail to make up for the inherent deficit in intrigue with more than maybe a single other trait.
Also, you advocated for maid characters, their main shtick is being efficient and composed. And let's not forget a certain princess you like (same).
Ikr
"Oh, and add a lot more maid characters, you can't go wrong with maid characters."
Truer words have never been spoken
Rita Rossweisse and Noelle are in full agreement.
@@BNuts Noelle is, to this day, the backbone of all my genshin's team ! She's a swiss knife that can Tank-DPS-Heal-Coffee making-Return of the loved one-etc... in one character XD
💀
The animations of this game look great, almost would want them to make a CC character just to see her in this style
If they do add CC I'm definitely playing it
From what I’ve seen from the rest of the Genshin/HSR community regarding this game, they all seem to mirror your opinions here pretty closely. Animation and characters are great, minus the male MC being kind oof boring, combat is good, the TV world is not great and could use some love since it’s the main content of the game. People are a little concerned but enthusiastic because it just looks incredible and the animation is top tier.
Male MC is an acquired taste I fear
@@AB-jt4rsyeah you acquire that taste after eating raw bread and water only for a whole year
@@pyronado4320 I meant being attracted to men and maybe having a specific kink but yeah ig that too
I’ve also been seeing stuff about the lack of variety in levels, enemies, and the combat giving not much challenge besides damage sponges, feels like the combat is the inbetween of the TV sections instead of the TV sections being the inbetween of the Combat sections
I think hoyo saw genshin and their Honkai series and thought to them selfs, "Do you know what we failed to do on our past games, we didn't give the gals azur lane levels of jiggle".
No, they have those jiggles in honkai impact
My god the animations are so good, they all ooze personality and charm.😺
I played the first Hoyoverse game Honkai. I liked it, but the emphasis of THIS IS A MOBILE GAME was getting to be waay too much for me. Same reason why I havent played Star Rail.... As you stated, this animation is top tier. Its crazy fluid looking full of energy and just seriously fun to look at. If they did an animation series, "Hoyo... Hint hint, Do this." I would seriously watch it, even if it was kind of bad. To see the character interactions with this kind of animation and style would just be a lot of fun. If hoyo did make an animation, I seriously doubt it would be bad considering the effort they put out in these games. Its just a shame they choose to do the mobile market.
I really wish they will, one day, do normal game instead of gacha games because they have everything to make great games ! (Good writter, good art team, good developper team)
Billy really has almost Deadpool energy with how animated he is.
Another excellent salt! I'll definitely be checking it out, it seems like there's been a lot of love put into it by the developers!
The Bag, My brother, he got the bag.
Well he got the best bag because he enjoys these sorta games no?
Squash and stretch is incredibly underrated in animation, so many game and animation studios go for the hyper realistic and never really seem to be able to pull it off convincingly, so I'm happy to see this animation style growing in popularity. You can make characters uniquely expressive with this style and it's wonderful to see.
2:39 he is honest to god giving off some Deadpool vibes and I love it
im proud of hoyoverse for simultaneously offering game play and fan service
most games of the same vibe as hoyoverse titles either stylise there characters into little blobs or are like a match 3 puzzle game
hoyo is out there doing both and i think its good to counteract the steryotypes
I love how jiggly the character animations look. That one guy reminds me of an anime Deadpool. Really hoping it comes to PS5.
Pretty sure it is releasing on PS5, all recent HoYo games are on there, and I thought it got announced for it already?
Scratch that, no PS5 announcement yet, probably a similar situation like HSR where it will drop like a year after release.
THE GAME DID NOT COME OUT YET AND THEY HANDIN OUT SPONSORS ALREADY????????
"My body... is wiggly." -icecreamsandwich
"Nobody ever sits still when they talk and i love it"-scottfalco perfectly describing adhd.
as a genshin hater and star rail liker, this is a big hoyoverse W
As a Genshin hater, I agree.
I feel like the animation is somewhere between Maxx Steel and Slug Terra, and I'm in love with it
The 3d animation is actually so cool
Soul hound...
Oh, that's why that looked familiar.
It Mr. Driller.
Billy is literally every chaotic anime/animated/cartoon show character built into one character, i like him!
Nice video as always! Also you were right! The animation in the game looks really cool. We just don’t see stuff like this too much anymore.
I love the look of games like these, but their open-ended nature has always discouraged me from playing them. I like my stories to have a beginning, middle and end.
The thumbnail is uhh….pretty pretty good
Soul hounds is based off of Mr. Driller, fun fact.
8:10 - ...This is literally Mr. Driller. If you liked this minigame then look into the Mr. Driller series, it's a blast.
Oh good, someone else said it so I don't have to. Thanks for doing that, now I can be lazy.
If it comes to ps5, ill absolutely add it to my daily gaming with genshin. I love how animated it is
I can't wait for this game. Holy crud. I enjoyed Genshin a lot and that game's combat was rather simple. This game almost looks like a slower DMC with character swaps instead of hotswap combos. It actually looks insane.
Billy made me ridiculously happy and I can’t exactly explain it.
i might just play it for the animation, IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!
Talking about animation go brrrrrrr
*sits here drooling at my screen while listening to nice voice say the happy words*
1:45 anybody else got an ad here. Cause that got a chuckle out of me
Anby's sword is literally Raidens sword from mgrr.
Nice knife
One of two things can come out of that ending, both of which involve CC.
One. Scott, draw CC in a maid costume.
Two. Artists who are fans of Scott, draw CC in a maid costume.
I just went to their main website and everything looked so charming and lively. Mind you, it's a bunch of images, nice website design, and cool background music, so I can only imagine what the game is like if just the websites were that impressive. Time to try out this Equalizing test and see what happens
That mini game with the dog is literally MR. Driller
Forget the maids! Ben and those npc bears are where its at and i want MORE!
when someone makes a mod to replace the censored animation & models with the original uncensored ones, I might try it
God damn, if they ever made a game that wasn't gacha, it would probably be my favorite game of all time.
God this animation looks so good I am definitely going to give this game a look, thanks funny magic animation man.
Wow, you're not kidding about the animation, that's top quality. Now we know where all their squillions of dollars went! I bounced off Genshin, but I might give this a try if it's not crammed full of spyware.
I cant wait for this to come out. Its by far the Hoyo game im most excited for.
Ive played Genshin and Star rail and theyre fun but they didnt fully click for me. But this, this looks like my bread and butter
8:32 wait, you telling me this has Mr.Driller spinoff included? Count Me In!
1:32 This dude is 1 line away from saying " I SLAY GoOobliiiinSSSSSsss"
The Hi fi rush style is very much appreciated.
I hope someone makes a compilation of the animations just to see how far they distort their character models JUST to make actions more punchy. That has my interest. It's not enough for me to get it on any platform but as an observation.
Wait, there's one with a shark tail? Dibs.
I love how the action flow looks.
This is my first time seeing this game and what the holy hell why is the animation so good
The animation is good to draw players into the gacha loop. Better looking means more people will be attracted to playing it, works really well for HoYo.
0:56 Pretty good stuff... I can imagine Aether's head moving robotically to the side.
Although this game looks good
This is actually my first time looking at the gameplay, ive finally decided to pick this up
If no one has mentioned it yet, your "pupper" mini game appears to be a mr.driller style game.
Don't just add more maid characters, more butler characters too! Like Von Lycaon.
Ever since I played "evolution world" (for the gamecube for those who want to look it up), where one of your party members is your own butler *WHO WIELDS A SHOTGUN*, I've been wanting more butler characters in games.
there also seems to be alot more depth to the battle than it seems, there seem to be hidden commands to trigger different attacks on characters, typical of fighting games
Id love to try it but I tend to never get lucky on closed beta picks and this one was no exception.
I don’t think I’ve EVER seen squash and stretch applied to 3D models before. Can’t say I have an interest in playing this game, but it’s a joy to watch for sure
Sicilia: Falco, we can't be the only one who wants a Hoyo fighting game. Hoyo Versus. Every character we've seen in any Hoyo game is, "PEAK FIGHTING GAME DESIGN."
Alright, it turned from a no to a maybe. I'm not too fond of Hoyoverse's stuff but I am a sucker for ARPGs and its hard not to fall in love with that animation style. Hope that it doesnt get bogged down by microtransactions
It’s Hoyo. Give them a bit to fuck this up.
@@infinityheart_tm9270 Its exactly why its more of a maybe. I'd like to be optimistic though
@@caped6453 I just wish they actually make an interesting combat system that doesn’t just look at the first hour of KH2 for inspiration.
Scott’s into maids… who’d thunk it
What red-blooded American isn't?
So if they make a sequel, will it be called Zenless Zone One?
Jokes aside, game looks good, would have tried it if it wasn't a HoYo gacha game.
I like that ZZZ doesn't even look and feel like a Hoyo game which normally shares the same art style
When the video started, I was expecting some generic game but Zenless Zone Zero legitimately has my interest.
most of the animation of this game i saw from a distance or of billy. it took me until 3:22, to notice Nicole's... bouncy physics.
all hail, the salt dance!!!
The comic book + cool animation style really reminds me of Gravity Rush...just more bouncy. I'm very excited
wow, cant wait for this game to totaly legitamtely get an award next TGA
this guy mentioned the entirety of the Victoria housekeeping except for the goat von lycaon
I reeeaaaally want to see you review Arknights. It's admittedly nothing like this game (it's a tactical sort of gamr) but once you get into the meat of things it becomes its own brand of amazing. That game genuinely made me SMARTER.
This game looks SO COOL, like, that animation? HOLY
like... I initially got interested because... big fluffy wolf butler... *ahem* but this genuinely looks fun, I hope they give out a release date soon
Looks neat, but my concern is how it will play on a phone. Main reason I dropped Genshin for Star Rail is that trying to play an action game on a phone is...challenging. And I'm away from my computer fairly often so phone is sometimes the only option I've got for dailies (and there will be dailies in a Hoyo game)
This is the first I've seen that TV monitor thing and that kinda dampens my hype for this. I don't even know what I'm looking at. I was really hoping there would be actual like stages you'd be moving through like a DMC game or something.
3:00 oh so anby is abed! Love those sorts of characters
watching this when cbt3 has come out and comparing the issues it had from then to now it seems they listened to you quite a bit due to the fact they added a speed up system and they did also add more little arcade minigames and some other stuff you said
I'm enjoying the animation as well, although it's REALLY hard to maintain a consistent level of quality for a game that gets monthly updates, like Hoyo's usual business model.
The weird Chinese exclusive Persona 5 game is a good example of this, with some of its cutscenes looking on-par with actual P5, meanwhile other cutscenes are just a black narration screen.
I HOPE this game keeps its bouncy fun cutscenes. They make the euphoria alarms go off.
If hoyoverse made a premium/non-gacha title, Id jump on that so fast
I found a game similar that isn’t FtP, you ever played the newer Atelier games, can definitely recommend the Ryza trilogy if you like HoYo style games without gacha.
Scott the Dog Minigame is just Mr. Driller Gameplay
Pretty sure Billy has the same voice actor as Deadpool from the game
I think they occasionally overdo it with the character animation, sometimes restraint can pay of better than some overexaggerated goofiness. In terms of the work being put into it it is very impressive though.
Target audience is children/teens so it's ok.
Yeah, I also enjoyed playing Snowmuncher on Neopets back in the day.
Wow. That actually looks pretty fun, and I absolutely adore the animation. This might be the first HoYoverse title I actually give a try.
I feel the same, but i did try genshin, i had the bias many people have of “genshin bad” but i was genuinely thrown aback by just how much of it is copied from breath of the wild, I refuse to try honkai star rail because the amount of ads for that game that were thrown at me made me want to put a bullet through my head, but this looks like a great game.
The stamina system is a big issue. If I buy/download a game I want to play as much as I feel like not be limited by a cheap system that time gates content
The other two weren't my cup-of-tea, but I'm willing to try this one.
Soul Hound III is actually a reference to Mr Driller
I have been so frickin stoked for this game. I can't wait for it to release!
When you find out that Scott has never played Mr Driller
The style and characters are pretty cool! Love the maids! Also cyborgchan is pretty great.
6:21 that sounds nearly identical to the swarm mode simulated universe in HSR
Like WEIRDLY similar
