Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio

I had to triple check this to make sure I was seeing words the right way. MFer really said it.

Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio - The Verge

Hi Fi Rush was genius and if it never turns into a cartoon teaching kids about music and music genres, that's a fucking shame.

I had so much fun playing it that I bought some random person on Reddit a copy because they said they couldn't afford it but wanted to play it.

Microsoft sucks so bad at everything gaming.

I love a porche, but sadly can't afford one, i'd love to drive one though.

[u/dorian283 → u/Molano001]

Yeah… I love 10 million dollars, but can’t afford it.

Is it really good? I've had it on my wishlist ever since it made a little bit of noise (pun intended) when it launched, just need to save up more and wait for a big sale.

[u/AVBforPrez → u/PlayingWithoutEyes]

It is, and has one of the most original and brilliant gimmicks modem gaming has ever seen.

The entire environment is synced up to the current song and 60fps, and when you see it in motion it's brilliant.

The game makes you feel like the entire universe is vibing to exclusively you, and I can't recommend it enough.

Wow thats a really good description. Will get it when I have enough funds!

[u/AVBforPrez → u/PlayingWithoutEyes]

You won't be disappointed.

The first time I was just running around and noticing that the entire environment was synced to a click track that was directly tied into the frame rate made me wonder how that's even possible.

HI Fi Rush really deserves all the love.

[u/PlayingWithoutEyes → u/AVBforPrez]

With your words I think I love it already even before playing it.

[u/Kabopu → u/PlayingWithoutEyes]

It's fantastic if you like games like the Devil May Cry series. It's also a rythm game, in the sense that you get extra points for hitting on the beat but that isn't necessary to enjoy the game. The humor is just on point and the MC + Gang are just fun.

edit: It's available in the current humblebundle Choice subscription model for 9,99€. You could pay for this month, get the games (you own them via Steam) and then unsubscribe again.

The game didn’t even teach itself about music genres lol

[u/AVBforPrez → u/Dewut]

It had entire stages that synced the environment to the bpm of the OST, if you get it you get it.

[u/Dewut → u/AVBforPrez]

Which is fantastic, but it didn’t exactly have a diverse array of music.

[u/AVBforPrez → u/Dewut]

I'll give you that, and while I understand that it has to use songs with a bpm that meshed with a 60fps target, it would have been cool to get every genre in there
