Hi-Fi RUSH Announced by Tango Game Works | Coming today to Xbox and PC (Also on Game Pass)
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
with it being an illegitimate "japanese" game stolen from PS via hostile acqusition of a former PS-first 3rd party publisher, this is right up a certain folks alley.
doubt we'll ever get a real verdict, all biases considered...
however, we found a way for MS to drum up hype with their games. The stealth drop completely avoided the usual Xbox metacritic process of it being slapped with a 60, and no one counting it as a real game.
genius move on MS's part...

i agree -- i don't see what they're so hyped over, but i understand it's been a tough few years for them.
oh my god dude just give it a rest already

Anyway, for the game.
Played the first chapter and here are some brief bullet point impressions.
- The leaks were completely misleading, they led me to believe this is gonna be a Parappa the Rapper style game, but it's way more traditional action like DMC with combat ratings, style points and all.
- If you play in a dark room at night/evening, for gods sake do the brightness calibration, I almost burned out my retinas the environments are so vivid and bright
- If you are someone who has difficult time with rhythm style mechanics, there are some real handy options in the accessibility menus, plus the game has a latency test in the options to help you calibrate
- No 'quality' or 'performance' options, but at a glance it looks like a very clean and well-performing 4K/60 to my eyes. It could be using FSR for all I know. But looks good.
- The humor is a bit like Sunset Overdrive but not as "wacky" so your mileage may vary
- They used a fucking Nine Inch Nails song for the first chapter boss !!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Be sure to play this with headphones or a good audio setup. Music/sound is the focal point.
BONUS KITTEH !!
And yes, you CAN pet the cat.

No doubt, they didn’t knock this up in a couple of months
I don't think they can make the game in 1 year so I would wait before you start pushing the usual "this game wouldn't exist without Xbox, Phil and Game Pass".
I am not pushing anything nor am I saying Phil was solely responsible for making this happened. I am just making an educated guess. How long would a game like this truly take? It's a $29.99 title, not even $40. Obviously it didn't have as a big budget as your regular $59.99 title. Maybe it was in development during the acquisition? I have no clue. I know Starfield was, but that's a whole different thing.I don't think they can make the game in 1 year so I would wait before you start pushing the usual "this game wouldn't exist without Xbox, Phil and Game Pass".
Sony blocks plenty of stuff too all the time. Like FF7 Remake and FF 16. But too me that's irrelevant because I own both systems and get the best of both worlds. It doesn't bother me. And honestly, every PS owner has a PC and so do most Xbox people. If you really want to play this game, go play it on PC. No one gives a shit lol. This is a tiny ass nifty little game, no need to make a big fuss about it. It's not a killer app, it's just there and that's it.
well, especially since xbox and PC aren't really liked or played in Japan, it's just sad that the entire market is alienated.
Like you actually give a shit about other markets. How does that impact your enjoyment of the game or the hobby? What should matter is that you are able to play it and that's it. And I am sure if someone in Japan wants to play, then they will. And you have actual stats of how many people game on their PC in Japan? Or are you just looking for something else to whine about because you didn't get your way? I am gonna assume the latter. Get over it dude. The world is not going to end because of this.
We got a genius hereYou know it's good when every PS fanboy is in here crying about it
being familiar with the Japanese gaming scene, not only as a fan, but did I mention I live in japan? (Chiba to be exact, been here 10 months now) I've yet to even SEE one xbox console in my entire time here. Now I don't frequent Akihabara or downtown tokyo, so I can't verify if Xboxes are stocked there, but they certainly are not stocked anyway where I live, and exist only in the realm of special order items.
Being intimately familiar with Japanese tastes, (namely the ladies, hehehe catch my drift) I can tell you Nintendo Switch is as ubiqutous as air, with most Japanese playing only animal crossing, pokemon, splatoon 3, and the like. I have yet to see one Xbox in any Japanese apartment, abode, or the like.
Granted, females tastes skew more towards Nintendo (cute characters) but a few co-workers who are male have traded war stories about acquiring PS5's this holiday, and how difficult it was for them, so there is interest.
Now when it comes to Xbox, if it is sold here as far as I can tell, it's done so under the guise of a foreign media player which, with a plethora of options by Sony, Toshiba, Yamaha, etc... It would be anti-patriotic to support such a good.
The fact is, Xbox is hated in Japan, and a very undesirable product. That's tough for some to hear, but it should put into perspective that Xbox, if it does acquire any Japanese developer (such as Tango, in this ill-gotten wholesale of Bethesda) it is to the utmost detriment of the developer, and the game.
To be frank: Xbox should stay far away Japanese games. They are not welcome in this space and are treading very dangerous territory.

Interesting. So this means all the crying from PC&Xbox fanboys in PS exclusives threads mean the games are good, correct?
This game looks great, will try it later today. Congrats Tango Gameworks.
I don't think so, most of MS's games fit that mold, low quality assets and overall visuals and they still take forever to release...
It's also pretty fun to play so far. The combat is no-less deep than any traditional action game like Bayo or DMC, only with a musical timing hook to it.
And there are multiple options to make the rhythm part easier if you want to.
Fantastic sound track to boot, as you'd expect from a game designed around music.
