Roblox Ready Player Two: A Lookback (Video Essay)

- The "Ready Player Two" event in Roblox, held from November 2020 to December 2020, was a highly anticipated virtual experience designed to coincide with the release of Ernest Cline's book sequel of the same name. Roblox, a popular online gaming platform, collaborated with the author to create an immersive event that brought elements from the "Ready Player Two" storyline into the virtual world. Players were tasked with embarking on a scavenger hunt across various Roblox games, solving puzzles, and overcoming challenges inspired by the themes and narrative of the book. The event aimed to engage the Roblox community in a unique and interactive way. Throughout the event, participants had the opportunity to discover hidden Easter eggs and unlock special prizes. The event not only served as a promotional platform for the literary sequel but also showcased the creative potential of Roblox as a versatile gaming and social platform that could seamlessly integrate with popular culture, literature, and entertainment. In this video, I dive into the history of this event and its importance.

It is kind of a shame we're never gonna see another event like this due to the shift in focus to community made content. It's definitely hard to get these right when you have so many games participating and developers working on it at a time. There's always been issues with large hunt events like RP2 where one bug or issue can really hurt it. (in this case being games dropping out and others taking their place, giving little time to create an objective but also just in general making sure each game releases when they're supposed to) I love the idea of hunt events as it's so fun to be able to search for secrets in games and be the first to find something (been a fan since RPO) and they've really inspired me to make my own secret hunt/gunts. I'm hopeful for community made events though, there's been some decent ones already. Great Video👍
your chaos end event was fantastic, I really enjoyed solving with my friends and I feel like you managed to capture the essence of events like these near perfectly
The closest we have gotten to the Ready Player Two event in my opinion is the Roliday 2023 event (not counting RB battles). Also your Byte sword UGC is awesome!
this comment aged very well
wow
Lol this aged well huh
this was one of the last true roblox events
I just wanted to say thank you once again for watching this video and hopefully commenting on it lol. I ended up having to buy more ram and once again, fix the file, in order to release this. I am very proud of it and this project meant a lot to me. I posted this video on my 18th birthday, crazy this event happened when I was 14. I hope I can make more videos like this in the future, even with all the issues that occurred within its last few days of production. I do apologize for any editing errors which you may have seen throughout this video, rendering this was not easy and I was super limited on time to release this. That’s all for me today though, see y’all in the next one, happy gunting!
can we collab?
BEST VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN IT GAVE ME TONS OF NOSTALGIA PLEASE UPLOAD MORE OF THESE TYPE OF CONTENT ON MORE EVENTS I BEG YOU PLEASE🙏🙏🙏
@@luciddreamnightmare not looking for collab at the moment
Fantastic video!
I was the 73rd winner of the meta star, and while it definitely had it ups and downs especially the last 2 games, finding the secrets with RD was so fun and amazing. I think that both RP1/2 events were the most fun I've ever had gaming.
Really good video, must've taken ages to make. Hopefully the algorithm picks it up soon because you've done a great job at covering the event!
How do you not have more subscribers?? After watching this high quality documentary I thought by scrolling down I would see atleast 50k subs. Underrated man. Keep it up and eventually you'll get traction.
Very nice video! Glad to see that someone's finally made a retrospective of the whole event. Crazy that it's been over 3 years since then; it definitely doesn't feel like it was THAT long ago.
Also, thanks for getting the pronunciation of my username right. Most people don't, lol.
I personally didnt really get into rp2, I was focused on rbb s2 but it looks like alot of fun
I just realized you only had 158 subs. I subscribed, you deserved 35k bro, amazing video.
I genuinly never knew that the rp2 items still being obtainable was intentional until now
This was really an amazing watch, I respect every bit of work you put into this video and I can tell how much it took to make, I think it's a really good underrated essay, I was contributing to finding clues to some games like SharkBite, Vehicle Simulator and Dungeon Quest, where me and my really small group almost figured out everything, and I was really close to getting the MetaPhones but with my high ping at the time and the RNG of the boss in Dungeon Quest made it not possible sadly, and this video really hit close to home, I felicitate you for your work and I hope you will make more video essays in the future. Good job!
Brought me back through so many memories loved the video keep up the good work my man
this is such an epoc gamor moment
Really great look back on the RP2 event! I remember it as a pretty neat event with some good items. Your video made me remember it again after 1.5 years. Also, your editing for just a small channel is top notch!
Fantastic video! Great research and everything was flawless!
This is a really well made video, and you're super underrated. I love your editing style, and we really need more ROBLOX documentaries about these amazing events! Wish the best of luck for your TH-cam journey.
LOVED this event and I am glad that it gets the love it deserves. GREAT video! Keep it up!!!
finally, a good video covering this event. the whole BelowNatural thing is pretty ironic considering he tried to bribe people for information on how to solve the puzzles (this alone I'm sure would have been grounds for disqualification if he wasn't a big developer). he also joined some seed members, me included, trying to intimidate us saying our crowns were going to be removed in a few days. I think I speak for everyone when I say we really need more events like this, but we know it will never happen :(
just bought 100 more deluxe crates
BelowNatural is rtarded
i have been wanting a video on this topic for SO long
very informative video, enjoyed watching through the entire premiere
Happy birthday bro, and great video
man i love these types of videos i’m def gon watch more!
i love looking into the history of events like these, good shit man
just finished it, amazing shitttt
underrated video. absolutely amazing. deserves more views. you earned yourself a new sub.
im your 200th sub :D! Great video btw
CONGRATULATIONS ON 200 SUBS
Amazing video! hope to see more.
Nice retrospective! I remember staying up until midnight trying to get the Crown of madness, ts took so many tries lol
gotta give you respect for posting the clip of alp LOL, awesome to see that people still care about this event considering how big it was for us
Banger vid- commenting for engagement 😁👍
so cool that chizeled made an event retrospective never expected that! ok but for real you sound so much like chizeled!
For a first video this is really well made, hope to see more
Very nice, big fan!
It's so cool and nice that this is how the event works, it was a good concept all around. I like this kind of event in roblox like Ready Player One and RB Battles.
Abit sad tho that i didn't know that this is how the event works around. I just searched up how to get the event items on TH-cam and that actually ruins the fun (well gotta blame that to me and i'm stupid to solve things)
Also this video that you have created is fantastic, please make more of these kind videos!
Such an amazing video.
This video is amazing, I can’t imagine how long it took to edit and find all of the info!
yup another gunter classic... but fr amazing video!!
Wow... This is your first video? This is one hell of a first impressions
I miss events like this, hopefully the hunt event is a start that will give way to more events like this
Fun fact! The description for the game "The players open the portals" (the one at shown 5:03), just like most descriptions around this event, is also a reference. Specifically, a very old meme where there's a 4 step plan, with one of the steps being unknown, followed by the last step "profit".
this vid goes hard
I remember working with a team I joined in to get these, and started my contributions to the hunt on bad business, it was quite fun! sadly we fell behind on the last step and our group lost motivation.
I wish they did more stuff like this in Roblox, it was so fun working with the community!
Good Video!!
Nice vid
this video was insane!!!
ARKTAL MENTIONED!!!
swag vid, crazy how this was almost 4 years ago now 😨
Please make another video, this was an amazing video
on the way!
Bravo 👏
i remember taking part in this event
it was pretty cool and i like the meta shades but one thing that is going to permanently scar me is the bad business item... god that was a nightmare in public servers, everyone kept trying to kill you and no matter how much you begged in chat to not kill you, they did it anyway and i don't know how but i managed to complete the first part in a public server
then i used a glitch to get past the zombies
i think the one that took the _longest_ was the vehicle simulator one for me
nice essay
This video is perfect, i don't have anything else to say
Goat vid ❤❤❤
this video is so good oh my god
It is me Markiplier16 and I say that this is an amazing video Please make more for Roblox Discussion
at the time i didn't think much of this but looking back at it it was a pretty good event (still salty how i never got the top hat cause i didn't understand what order the lantern code thing was in it looks so damn cool)
Just finished watching holy shit this is amazing
27:40 wow this conversation sounds really important i wonder what its importance is
Tbh this proves roblox can make good events with the mwtaverse label
Luckily, it's a neverending event. I recently got 3 of the items (Dungeon Quest, Bad Business, and Bee Swarm.)

Comm Classic
Do one for RPO!
I think the video was great, but your speech was really slurred and it was hard to understand some parts. Hope this doesn't come across as hostile but please speak a little bit more distinctly (is that the word for it?).
i really appreciate this feedback, not taking it as hostile, i understand and i will try to better it in future videos it was literally just because i recorded the audio throughout different days and different times so sometimes i would just try to get it done quicker while others i was more focused, thanks for the feedback though!
@@zoldival Actually finished the video now. It got less and less noticeable throughout, but still. Amazing video dude this was great
4 time and no upload (do ready player 1 next)
Will you upload if i share the video to all my cousins?
