Is This Minecraft 2? (Hytale Trailer Reaction)

All right I’m nice and sick but I’ve got some dayquil in my system so we’re gonna do this thing no I haven’t uploaded this to the wrong channel we’re doing a reaction video here on the main channel but I think there’s good reason for it okay new trailer for a video game just

Dropped haven’t done trailer reaction to a video game in quite some time but this one I guess there’s special circumstances to it it was released by let’s call hightail which sounds similar to hypixel not a coincidence it was developed by hypixel they they now have a standalone

Game development team it looks like they actually got investment from Riot Games and a bunch of other like big names and stuff so they’re they’re doing big things here and they dropped a trailer for the new game they’ve been working on it’s very similar to Minecraft but unlike other minecraft clone looking

Games that you see thrown out every now and again you’re like oh they tried but I’m not very excited just trying to capitalize off of you know minecraft being a thing in people maybe like I’ll try this instead because it’s cheaper this this looks kind of legit so we’ll

Take a look I always like to support people who are like from the community trying to make big moves I’ve tried to develop a game before it’s very difficult and they look like they’ve done something pretty serious here and that’s cool so let’s take a look and see what we got Hi pixel Studios fancy stuff dude okay so first glance are like our looks looks kind of like Minecraft right got a very minecraft the environment looks like Minecraft world yen except then you notice like oh there’s some more detailed models with the mushrooms and the the characters and this freakin weapon staff thing

The leaves are more actual like like leaves fancy tree branches coming out of bigger tree branches and instruments and stuff okay okay there’s some interesting things here Okay those animals actually look super dope like I don’t know I could see myself being even more attached to one of those as a pet because it’s got some additional little cute details to it it’s like mo creatures mod meets a high-res texture pack meets that sort of

Thing but then they’ve got nicer smoother animations I okay I like it okay that’s pretty dude look at the Scarecrow over here that’s dope that’s like a pretty cool looking scarecrow and then we’ve got a furnace an anvil some like more realistic looking crops and stuff but it’s still it’s not too

Realistic right it still all fits together and I don’t know it seems like someone who’s so familiar with Minecraft in the Minecraft community this this is like you need that backstory that history that knowledge of how things have gone and how minecraft has evolved to be like how can we improve upon this

And make something that still retains that the the Minecraft qualities while building in a unique way on that also there are slopes that’s a slope over there so I guess we’re gonna have actual 45-degree angles on things here but it still works Oh my god I’m sold look at this okay got it a wrong frame like it’s it’s either kind of oh maybe we missed it Nick freeze frame on the dog looking happy right there with its eyes open instead of closed because that I know if you’re not sold on that I don’t know

It’s to have you no heart that was a real cute dog I’m sorry minecraft wolves and dogs cute and all but that it was like a Corgi oh my god playing with my heartstrings here in this trailer we got some realistic lumberjack in mining action hold on we got it we got it

Do you see this cat do you see do you see the cat doing the doing the cleaning itself we got cats and dogs and they do realistic animations and you can blacksmith things on anvils and have all like realistic decoration inside your house what the heck dude if you could

Ask me hey what are some things that you would add into Minecraft that you think would be interesting and exciting like they’re hidden on all these things Okay can I just say though I see rain there’s rain in in this clip here okay this is I’ve got a gripe all right rain never needs to exist in any video game does not add to anything there’s no reason for it to be there unless it’s in

A cutscene that’s fine don’t need to be better have a toggle downfall option I swear don’t you subject me to rain against my will but otherwise looks good what was that dude right there see ok we got some kind of like Mad Max stuff going on here with these crazy

Villains and bees flying around protecting some kind of stronghold thing this is what I need I need more adventure and and quests and things to do because obviously with minecraft you got hey I can work my way to the end of Dragon on the wither but where are these

Raid bosses and stuff you know looks like that’s what we got in here it’s dope I’m super into that I like the added adventure quest kind of things I hope there’s more of like a scaling loot system where you can really really work on items and make them actually valuable

And there can be rare things that are hard to get That combat looked good okay see like look at that that sword right there that gets me excited I want to figure out how to work towards that sword and I may be because in Minecraft yeah you can you can craft a diamond sword but that’s as good as it gets you

Can add enchantments to it and stuff but you can’t really like there-there is the maximum when it comes to a sword for example you know what the best enchantments are and there’s kind of like you can achieve those enchantments on a sword and that’s that but maybe

They’re a different branch so you could do like a water sword or a fire sword here in this game and they’re gonna have strengths and weaknesses against different mobs like he’s got the fire sword here and he’s about to lay into this Yeti dude and this Yeti looks

Intimidating as heck it’s cool and he’s riding a ram and the Yeti picks up the earth yes please Oh ho that’s an aquatic update right there and he’s got some fins and it even looks like some kind of scuba system look at that frickin coral really got subnautica going on here have you taken not only minecraft but you’re like oh let’s throw a little bit of subnautica in there because that’s

Also one of the greatest games so I just take them both put them smack them together yeah I’ll take it Oh dude some kind of like underground dungeon thing see if I could do obviously there are strongholds but I don’t know this just the the atmosphere it looks so much more eerie and also can I just point out if you haven’t noticed already torchlight it moves with the

Player you’re gonna be holding a torch rather than having to keep placing it down and when you’re holding in your hand it’s that’s the thing I’ve waited for for ages and I just don’t think the lighting engine can handle it it’s just being able to move with a torch thank

You thank you so much Yo see in this case right that that a fire sword that our dude was carrying for the Yeti probably not gonna be too effective against whatever this fire beast monster is he probably needs some kind of ice or water sword right you don’t want everything to change when the

Fire Nation attacked so you want to be prepared when the Fire Nation attacked okay see I want to I want to find that and then you can have these range fire staffs and different attacks Okay here see here’s where we really get into the part where it helps coming from a developer that came from a minecraft server they’re gonna try to be like super open I assume about when it comes to being able to have third parties create servers on their platform and and

Develop games and things like that and be a little bit more open to that whole ecosystem because as much as this isn’t much as big of a conversation between like youtubers and the people watching them when it was more on the like how creators interact with the developer and

Things like that to have a developer that’s like very supportive of some kind of monetization mechanic because it’s not cheap to run big servers and keep on adding new games and things like that and to have some reasonable form of monetization that’s open and established

Is very good and so I can only assume that that’s what this is gonna be this community server feature and they’ll be very supportive of it as a developer and that’s that comes from being someone who is part of the community which is very cool [Applause] and that is that’s skywars right there I guess they’ve divided hunger get his gummy hunger games and you new mods and they’re gonna have developer tools and even script adventures you can customize your character alright Microsoft you guys used to have this feature on Xbox

Where you could with Netflix cue up a room and have four people simultaneously watching a movie together I did that a couple times back how many years ago seven eight years ago and that was fun times and now it doesn’t do it anymore this this is great you can get into a

Theater you can queue up a YouTube video as a group and watch it yes did you can freakin give them premiere a video on you I could do a YouTube premiere and have the YouTube video premiere queued up in a premier in a movie theater in the game okay and have everybody

Watching the premiere as it premieres on YouTube but they’re all mine thank you this is cool and we’re okay and they’ve got a moviemaking tool so it’ll be like a theater mode Kanna Beale just like you’d get in you know fortnight has it and we use that for the fortnight cinema

Channel so being able to have a that tool built in here in order to easily be able to make more machinima styled content it’s just God it’s just got all the things that’s so like creator and community and every developer friendly it’s got it all fricken dragons – just wanted the cherry

On top right there there we go so obviously they’re gonna be the the people who are like aw it’s just a minecraft clone kind of thing we’re gonna get some of those responses but I’ve seen other minecraft clones I’ve seen trailers for them and usually from

The get-go I’m like yeah I’m not tempted this and I’m not I just want to clarify this is not sponsored I’m not paid I haven’t talked to hypixel in a very very long time I just I am actually genuinely excited to give this thing a try it’s I feel like minecraft has been

Around for a very long time and while I don’t have exact analytics to back it I think there’s when it comes to YouTube definitely a trending decline in interest towards minecraft videos especially with fortnight ramping up so hard I think some of the audience has moved on to fortnight and so to have

Something new and fresh could this be it I don’t know it’s the best attempt at it that I’ve seen in a very long time and I’d look forward to actually giving it a try so hey hypixel if if you I know they have a beta code signup but I’ll just

Say here if you if you got any spare beta codes or alpha codes or whatever I’m down it looks like you’ve done a pretty cool thing here so yeah anyway I thought I’d take a look I’d like I said it’s just it’s cool when someone who is

But part of the community tries to make some big moves it’s it feels like more at home versus like an exterior entity trying to be like I’m gonna capitalize off of minecraft like this is this is legit they’ve taken experience and put it towards something that looks like it

Has a lot of improvements to it so I’ll leave it there you let me know what you think see if you feel the same way but hey at the very least I’m excited to try it we’ll see how it plays out when it’s actual hands-on because there’s no way to know

Until then but the trailer excites me and that’s it I’ll leave it out there I’m gonna go be sick and probably reuptake well yeah no fun but at least this was cool so thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time You
