 Alright, hey everyone. First off, I want to apologize for the last couple videos. There's been like this extra footage at the end. I was doing all my editing for the last few videos, or the last two videos anyways, on my laptop. And the video files only, you know, for my last video, it's only like 16 minutes long, but just how long it's supposed to be on my computer. I rewatched the final footage. It's 16 minutes. It's done. But for some reason it's over 30 for you guys. I don't know what the hell is happening. I don't know what's going on. Something's either not saving. It's not processing correctly. I don't know. For this video, I'm back on camera, because I'm done with this voiceover gameplay BS that's apparently screwing up. And I'm editing this on my normal computer, which does need some massive editing hardware upgrades. But you know what, we'll deal with that another time. For now enjoy this 4K 30fps video. We are going to be talking about Immortal Phoenix Rising. It's a game that we've known about. It used to be Gods and Monsters. The title change leaked to us for quite some time. But what's really interesting to me about this one is the gameplay itself. See, I'm really impressed by the gameplay. So impressed that it's almost like it's a Greek mythology Breath of the Wild made by Ubisoft. And setting aside any controversy with Ubisoft as a company, this looks like, oh my god, this didn't look really really good. Now we're not going to go over the official trailer. We're not going to go over the little gameplay thing they talked about after where you had the devs on screen and all this. Because I think sometimes when you get everything directly from Ubisoft, there is going to be some bias involved in the coverage. There's going to be a lot of things that you don't get the honest truth about from a real perspective. Instead, I'm going to go with Beat'em Ups. He put up a 14 minute video today about it because he got to actually go hands-on with the game. Now this game is coming to Switch. Other platforms as well, but it is coming to Switch. This footage you're about to see is not from Switch. They did not give out copies of individual consoles. It's a streaming version of the game. So it could look better, it could look worse on Switch. We don't know. So I just want to preface that. Before we get into talking about it as we go piece-to-piece to the footage, I want to remind you we got two giveaways going on. It's crazy. We're down in the description. We're giving away a Switch Lite. We're giving away two games of choice as well. We're down in the description. Check out all of the different ways to enter. Subscribe to the channel. Like in the video. Follow me on Twitter. All that jazz gets you different entries. Go on patreon.com.com. I'm joining for a buck that gets you 15 entries. All that. We also have a second giveaway for Super Mario 3D All Stars. We're giving away three copies of that game. There's a gleam.io link down in the description for that as well. Yeah. Six winners. Over $500 worth of crap we're giving away. Pretty insane this month. So enjoy and good luck. Now let's get into this. Now here you see the footage. We're a little bit the ways in the beat-em-up video. But we're just going to give her nuts here. There's good old wood. We're going to pause as we go here. So we see some of the gameplay here. There's some things I want to explain in case you haven't really seen this game or watched the Ubisoft forward today. This here is a stamina meter. Okay. Right here's a stamina meter. This is the main character. I don't know much about the story. So we're not going to dive too deep into the story. I'm going to focus on gameplay because the gameplay is what is selling me on this. Just like Breath of the Wild's gameplay sold me at E3 2016. So you saw some jumping. You saw some wing action because like I don't know if you're like a Greek god or something like that. But still some wing action here. Down here you have what seems to be like a quick menu for doing different spells and stuff or like not different spells but like different potions. So like you know this one's probably like a health potion. This one's probably a stamina potion. And I'm not sure like this is like a magic or what were all these different potions do. There's also an ability thing over here that's probably tied to the different buttons. I would say the face buttons where it looks like there's a telekinesis ability. Hello it's like straight out of breath. One you see in action it's like literally straight out of breath in the wild. This looks like the wings flight ability. Maybe this is maybe a defensive ability. We'll see some of these different abilities in action soon. Maybe access these with LB. Maybe it's like a shift alternator or something like on PC. So let's just keep going here. So by the way we'll have links in the description just like he just like Wood says here to pre-order this game because I'm dude this game is looking good. I think it comes out December 3rd by the way. It comes out this year. It's supposed to come out I think earlier this year. But you know what it's coming out now. So that's our soonish and let me just say I already have a pre-ordering for this game. So again we'll probably have an affiliate link for that as well for you guys. All right Wood. All right Wood. Let's get let's get ahead let's get into the game. So this shot here is so breath of the wild-esque to me. Literally you're overlooking the world. It's crazy. Now this was a demo provided to Wood and he was paid. So you know I'm not paid by Ubisoft to react the way that I'm reacting right now. Not to say that that Wood's doing anything wrong here. It's just Ubisoft. I very much would have loved to have been paid for this one. All right so let's uh let's see here. So um so you could press down R for Farsight which which is probably like a zoom in ability. And now you're going to see uh some flights. So here's some stuff you're going to see that that's very Ubisoft-esque different from breath of the wild in a way. You see like this marker up here that that shows the east west. And then clearly has like oh you're supposed to go over here. That's very Ubisoft-like. That's like what they have in Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs Legion, a bunch of games. It's kind of a very Ubisoft-like thing. You know go investigate this area 66 meters away. You'll see this in Assassin's Creed games and all that. So they definitely have that in this game to kind of help you along to help you. Now it looks like you can go anywhere you want. Which is really really cool. But obviously they have like hey you want to advance the story. You want to advance the main quest. Go to this direction. You know a long story begins you could tell that this is the current quest that you're on or the main objective that you're on. But as you're flying here you'll see you could boost with X, dive with B and drop with B. Now it looks like you're limited by your stamina. So when the stamina runs out you can't fly anymore. Pretty pretty standard right? I think you're going to get just your stamina is for a lot of the physical activities. And it's not the only Ubisoft game to ever have stamina. But man I mean this game looks so good. All right let's continue here. So it looks like you also have like a Phoenix companion. I find that Phoenix companion to be very interesting. Some abilities you use later seem to involve the Phoenix companion. All right let's continue here. So you see that he runs out of stamina and then like see he starts gliding back down to the ground and then he puts his wings away. Or maybe the wings went away because of the stamina. Now you can summon his mount. So like in Breath of the Wild you know you kind of whistle for your mount. Here you just kind of magically summon it. Which I think is pretty cool. Now you can heal it looks like while you're riding with the d-pad. Again probably uses up one of these potions. But it looks like it might be the only ability. Or maybe just because he's hurt it's telling them to heal. You know kind of a hint system. All right you know you can argue oh the hint system makes things too easy. Okay in Zelda games it goes beep beep beep beep beep. So I mean all right like every game seems to do that kind of thing. All right so healed up. There was a hold to sprint there. If you go back hold let's see here. Summon mount tells him to heal he heals. And then there's a hold to sprint here. So you know move L and then press X to sprint. All right so you hold down the X button to sprint while you're on. So that's kind of the sprint button for your horse. All right let's continue here. Wood doing his little zoom in face thing. What get out of the way you're blocking the gameplay. It's okay he's making it work. So here this is Breath of the Wild style climbing. Right here is very breath. Basically what goes out to say you can climb anything and it uses stamina. Obviously once the stamina runs out you fall. So everything whether it's sprinting with the horse flying or climbing involves a stamina meter. And it looks like you can grow it. Because you see it was two hours before now it's three. So it looks like you can grow your stamina as well. So yeah right now you know he's just kind of going through the overworld showing off the climbing mechanics here that are very Breath of the Wild-esque. Like you know very much like Breath of the Wild. Here seems to be an enemy encampment. Now watch the battle sequences here. This is cool. So you don't see destructible environments there. You've got to cut some grass and some bushes. As you see him in his attack mode you know it's like the rocks even got destroyed. That's really cool. So destructible environments. But watch what happens here with that enemy. So the enemy back here right he's going to fight this Medusa kind of looking enemy. And then watch what happens. The enemy blows up into this giant Cyclops. Now I'm not saying this Cyclops is hard or difficult. But I think this is just such a really cool thing watching enemies evolve in this game. In comparison to say Breath of the Wild. I know I'm comparing a lot to Breath of the Wild because it reminds me so much of it. It's why I'm so psyched. Breath of the Wild is my favorite game of all time. Anyways look like some puzzle elements. Now you're into like this bonus extra area. Going along looks really really cool. It's like a god area up in the sky or out in the universe or whatever. Now here's the telekinesis ability. I mean come on. That's straight out of Breath of the Wild. There's other games that have done it before though. So that's not. Breath of the Wild isn't the source for all of these ideas. So this is kind of a cool thing. It's for like puzzle solving. You can like use an ability that turns you kind of into an arrow where you like you shoot an arrow and then you can kind of move the arrow around. I guarantee on switch that'll be motion controlled. Guarantee there'll be at least a motion control option for it. Here's a chest. I mean come on. You want you want to talk about the Zelda. You want to talk about the Zelda. I mean there's a chest. And there's probably going to be a bunch of them in this game. All right. I'm moving on. Again lots of games have chests. But I think as you're watching this you could forgive me for being like dude this is so Breath of the Wild inspired. And there's nothing wrong with this by the way. It'd be in Breath of the Wild. No this I mean enemy popping out of the ground here. Looks like there are some NPCs fighting it along with you. So that's cool. I like that. I like that. And the enemy goes flying and disappears. Demigods. So I guess you probably played Demigod in the game. You guys can find out more technical information about the story and all that elsewhere. This video is not going to be the video for that. Here's a classic YouTube app. You can find more technical details about the game in terms of the story and all that elsewhere. This video is just going to be talking strictly gameplay. So we're just going along here. Fighting a Minotaur. Like you can't tell me that this game is not Breath of the Wild inspired. You can't. You can't tell me that it's not. It's so like the enemies are all unique. The combat is definitely unique to this game. But a lot of I mean I don't know man. I don't know man. I'm just pumped here like just going through this you know about to die. I mean the puzzles it is very Zelda like puzzles. Block pushing puzzles. I mean come on. We know that Zelda was one of the first games of black pushing black pushing black pushing puzzles. Man he's walking right through that laser. I think he's kind of missing the point. He's supposed to use one block to block the laser and then push the other block. Anyway that's okay. Plus you can fly over it. Maybe there's a pull mechanic using telekinesis again. One of the abilities in the game to move a heavier item. See probably didn't even need to move one of those chests over. Could have just moved rocks. So this looks like a boss fight here potentially. Yup clanking automation. There's a cool downtime run healing which is good. So you can't just spam the heal button. Really cool. Really I'm very interested to see this game on switch this winter man. That's one of the the up attack abilities there. All right. Man man this game looks good. This game looks so good guys. You can't tell me like if you love Breath of the Wild. You can't tell me you're not excited about this. This looks so good. And of course we'll have a link down in the description directly to this video from beatemups. He's a good guy. So just just kind of going forward through here. You know you pick up gear, ethereal armor you just picked up. So you get gear and get various item upgrades like that. There's your little Phoenix companion. All right bud. All right bud. So let's come back to the gameplay. It's okay. This is just his style of videos. You know he's very front and center. So this is kind of look at the inventory area. So one thing I like is obviously it tells you what each different armor does. 10 plus damage with the sword, 20 stamina gain on hit with a sword. Happens at level four. So you kind of level up your armor. Let's you look at your weapons and what you got going on here. Sword, axe. Looks like you can equip like a sword and axe or maybe a mace too or a bow. All at once. Those are your three main things. You might even be able to switch up your wings later in the game. Notice how the wings have its own slot. You got your horse. I don't know. That means you have three summons or what this means exactly. You have your item pouch. Yeah. I'm not sure what all the gems mean yet. But I mean this is just so cool. And a quick save feature. That's nice. So you can save any time. It looks like if you go into the menu. So he's kind of messing around playing with the horse. It looks like so these gobbly powers. This is like a as you level and progress through the game. It's kind of like a talent tree. If you ever play like World of Warcraft or you know, pretty much any major RPG like game. Because this is like an action adventure RPG game. You'll see like talent trees like this that give you the upgrade your abilities and all that to do different things. So just something really cool. Like this is the part that they don't have this in Breath of the Wild. And that's okay because Breath of the Wild is not this game. And this game is not Breath of the Wild. But man it's so cool. This just makes me more excited. So here you get to see like a look at the whole map and the overworld in the sections. So like the game's kind of sectioned off with like a fog of war kind of thing. You could fast travel. You might even be able to travel in between the sections if you get to the edges. I'm not sure if that's a thing that works in this game. If it's fully open world like that or if it's open world in the sections. Let's see here. Some more gameplay. I mean you can't get enough gameplay. Man, gosh this game looks good. And another reason why I'm using Wood's video for this folks is I'm going to sit here and just let the gameplay run for a bit is because Ubisoft whenever I use Ubisoft trailers or Ubisoft footage it tends to get copyright claimed or copyright strikes even. One reason why I didn't stream the Ubisoft forward today is because it would have probably got me copyright strikes. Every time I stream Ubisoft I get a strike. So Ubisoft doesn't mean for it to happen but they're always using copyrighted music and things that they have licenses to but none of us streaming it and reacting to it have licenses to. So I don't have to worry about that because this is a muted video. And plus I don't want you guys getting Wood's opinion on things from my channel. Go to his channel for that. I just want you to see some of this gameplay as we react to it. Lieutenant Brantas, a chest that you can't open. So you can't open chest will in combat. That's different than Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild you open chest anytime. You can't do that in this game. All right so he's getting in this big, big, big, brute battle. He's actually taking quite a bit of damage. He's down the, oh now he's got 11 health push. He must have died at some point and he died again. Wait did he kill it? Did he kill it and he died at the same time? It's cool. Like just everything about this game. Like guys this, it just looks so good. Zooming in on the map. I'm not sure if you can mark territories like you can. Maybe you can. Oh so you can upgrade your health potions and stuff. So again, Cauldron of Cerse lets you upgrade your health potions and all that. So again it's like another tree you know that you upgrade probably as you level or as you gather materials in the world. This might be one of those famous Ubisoft post outposts, the travel post. So Zelda has like the Sheikah Towers you guys know. The Sheikah Towers are very much a Ubisoft inspired thing. Yeah I mean an item that you spawn down a hill. You know just dropping right into the combat. He's determined to beat this thing that keeps killing him. Dude I like that these these things do a lot of damage if you don't dodge correctly. Looks a little laggy here. But again he's on a streaming service. Although I don't know if I expect battles like this to be running at like a perfect 30 FPS on switch. We'll have to see how well optimized it is. It's probably using the same engine as Mario Plus Rabbids Kingdom Battle I presume. So just kind of going forward here a little bit. I thought he had a little bit more gameplay. Alright he's making references to retail. Yep he's got more gameplay up here. Alright so yeah guys this to me is Breath of the Freakin' Wild Greek mythology. I'm pumped. I am so excited for this game. I don't think you guys understand my hype. I can hardly contain it. This game will be live streamed on this channel. I might even 100% this game. I have no idea. I'm so excited. This is like Age of Calamity is going to lead me right into this. Just bar none. Alright. Anyways you guys let me know what you think about this game. I already forgot the name. See the name is immortal phoenix rising. Let me know what you guys think about immortal phoenix rising. Probably won't be my last video on this man. I'm so excited. We might do some deep dives and do it later. About everything we know about this game. I have a lot of details together. I just want to do a reaction to the first real gameplay of it since it was called Gods and Monsters. And it looks so much better than it did back then. So I don't know. You guys let me know what you think down in the comments below. I am Thunder of Agents from Thunder Prime. And I'll catch you in the next one.
