They forgot to do a sync test. I hope I did an okay job without it. Check out our podcast and all things Super Best Friends at: www.superbestfriendsplay.com #Jumper:Griffin'sStory
I like to imagine that whenever Woolie and Matt are alone in the same room together, a jank game such as this one is automatically regurgitated into thin air by the universe, wanted by literally no one but compelled to be birthed anyway.
What Matt and Woolie fail to realize in questioning why Jumper was even attempted to be a thing, its because its based on moderately successful line of books, so having a big movie and video game is them trying to make the Harry Potter lightning strike again like other properties like Percy Jackson, Chronicles of Narnia, and Series of Unfortunate events, its call because they gambled and lost big time XD
@@TheGalaxyCrusher This isn't good. We're so deep in people are starting to look back at the idea of the barrel as something so alien it must be a myth. We have barrel deniers on our hands. That's never a good sign.
True story, this was nearly the first game I got for the Xbox 360, but the GameStop employee I brought it to warned me that it was a piece of garbage. Feels weird seeing the Best Friends playing it all these years later, thanks for taking a bullet for me guys!
So... Jumper... I saw this in theaters, It hooked me and mom because of X-Men and mutant shit. Now, let me go through this... Anomaly of a film, It has Hayden Christensen and Jamie Bell with OP teleporting powers, Sam Jackson hunting down Jumpers, aka "Mace Windu's revenge". The film introduced Hayden to his futue wife, and mother to his kids, Rachel Bilson. (for awhile) Michael Rooker plays Hayden's dad, Diane Lane plays his mother, who is also a hunter. It also had fresh young actors like Annasophia Robb, and a cameo role of a pre-Twilight Kristen Stewart as Hayden's sister I just know too much about this not good fil (David S. Goyer wrote it, makes sense) (Oh yeah, Jamie Bell and Evan Rachel Wood have a kid together, off topic, but still interesting lol)
OP is right. They mention Nightcrawler, but Jumpers are so much stronger than Kurt. Jumpers seem to have near-effortless, planetary range, while Nightcrawler (pre-resurrection and pre-Bamf-enhancement) usually topped out at around 2 miles, minus crazy outliers. Jumpers seem to be limited by knowing a place well, or having it clearly in their minds, but this is no big deal thanks to pictures. Also, with practice they can move a lot of mass. When I get the superpower question, Jumper-style teleportation is usually my go-to answer.
@@allenjenkins06 you forgot that most jumpers can only move something that can move on its own or that doesn't weigh too much. jumping a building is usually lethal. i watched this movie once, when i was 10, why do i remember that?
I would gladly take a podcast where Matt and Woolie just talk about their days as game testers, if anything to hear all of the stories they would tell. Sure, there's the Bug Report, but it's not enough.
okay so a pretty serious plot point in the movie is that jumpers can teleport shit they're touching with them, but that there is a limit. griffin says he knew a jumper who tried to teleport a skyscraper and he died, i assume he exploded, it's great. point is, yes they can teleport cars, and yes they can teleport into midair. or into the ocean, and when they jump back they bring a sphere of water with them. they can control what they bring with them. at the end of the movie hayden christiansen is stuck to the walls of his girlfriends apartment and hes like. i cant jump this whole building. but i can jump this ROOM so he tears her apartment out of the building and i forget where they landed but it was a disaster

I remember seeing advertisements for the Jumper game around the time the movie came out. I saw said movie a year later on tv and watched it like 5 times for some reason. I oddly remember huge chunks of that movie verbatim. The villains in the movie are called Paladins and their religious fanatics who think only God should have the power to teleport. Jumping someone to the middle of the Sahara desert or some other remote region and leaving them there is a thing they do twice in the entire movie. THEY EVEN TEASED A SEQUEL AT THE END. And about jumping cars, I guess you COULD, but I don't remember if they did it in the movie. They did teleport an ENTIRE APARTMENT ROOM though.
They did teleport a car. They stole a car from the store and teleported it through the store window and I think there was even a chase scene where they teleport between traffic, but I'm not 100% certain about that part... I don't know why, but I remember how the more experienced dude mentioned that teleporting moving objects was harder than just teleporting yourself.
TheNocturnal It’s been a thing on this channel for years, have you just noticed? I don’t see anything wrong with it, they’re usually pretty good for laughs and wacky trivia.
He and Rachel Bilson met during this movie, got married, had a kid, appeared at Star Wars celebration (was a great sport), then around this year, unfortunately split from her, and was in a straight to streaming rom-com with Emma Roberts. So, alright I guess.
For a second, for a WHOLE second I thought it was Griffith's Story... Even got hyped for a moment there... Unfortunately we won't see our boy Eric Sparrow today.
I wonder if the people who made this game are aware that the Golden Gate Bridge is probably THE (or one of the most) most popular places for jumping suicides in the U.S., the people who do so being referred to as "jumpers" Fake edit: also I'm pretty sure it was Jake Lloyd, aka Young Anakin that said he regretted ever getting into acting, not Hayden
I've only ever seen bits and pieces but the shot where he goes to throw a punch and then teleports like 5 times towards the guy so you see him wind up the punch as he teleports is pretty cool
It's one of those films which exists in this weird of state limbo where everyone's heard of it or has some idea that it exists but no-one seems to remember it until they get reminded of it. Just like the movies Sahara, Wanted and Chronicle.
What they could have done on Woolie's Jumper is add in a fog of war. In the movie you could only jump to locations you knew so you couldn't jump through rooms of a house you haven't seen before. You could have objective based missions jumping around from point to point solving issues or infiltration style missions where it is more limited.
"Imagine you tell your mom can you get me a game from gamestop and she brings home this" That is exactly how I got this piece of shit in my life and I still regret it to this day
The only part I really remembered from the 360 version of this game was the finishers. You'd get a quick cutscene of Griffin teleporting a guy right next to an active volcano's lava flow so he can immediately burst into flames, or underwater in the middle of the ocean, or in front of a polar bear, or (my favorite) in low orbit so he burns up in re-entry.
Oh my god. Oh my GOD. I loved this movie to bits and looked up everything I could and I have heard LEGENDS of this game. The movie did well enough to warrant a franchise, there were gonna be sequels, but they wanted to test the waters with a game, and this thing, this monstrosity, this ABOMINATION, killed the franchise on sight. I am so happy
This looks so bad, especially when the 360 version at least had ridiculous finishing moves in combat, like teleporting a guy onto an erupting volcano, leaving them in the middle of the Sahara, or straight up teleporting them into the sky. e: Oh, this has those? they're just incredibly rare to actually do?
I love that in the playthrough of THUG 1 Matt was able to pronounce Bam Margera's name correctly, but ever since THUG 2, he pronounces it with a hard g. 😂
the climax was sick (in concept). it involved a rival battle with another jumper/former best friend as htey teleported to different parts of the world punching eachother
*Sees 1 second of the gameplay* Well... I suppose if they are playing a PSP game on an emulator, it would look that ba- *Remembers this is the PS2 copy* Oh no...
i loved this movie when i was a kid. maybe i wouldn't love it now. but i do love that the protagonist convinces the other jumper to join forces with him by citing the 'marvel team up' comic book. that'll always be grand.
I ain't gonna lie, I was looking through the guys' backlog and I thought this was gonna be a weird live-action visual novel game about a kid named Griffin trying to kill himself. This is not what I was expecting to say the least.
I had to look this character up to see if there was really this much cop murder in the Jumper movie - apparently, "Griffin was able to build a semi-permanent shelter (which he called the Hole), the predecessor to the Lair, underground. This, too, was found by the Paladins after years of living in it."
I can't stand watching you hurt yourself like this, SBFP. First Star Trek, then that pantsu game, and now this? We need you to get out of the house to get some fresh Vitamin D from the radiant sunbeam that is Smash.
I sometimes wonder how come you guys still haven't passed 1 mln subs that you so deserve. And then I see you post a Jumper let's play. And then I remember.
