Zenless Zone Zero with a side of salt 

Thanks again Hoyoverse for the sponsor, Zenless Zone Zero is coming to PC, Consoles, and Mobile soon! Pre-Register here: hoyo.link/1o8fFIAL

The animation in this game looks fucking awesome, so full of bouncy energy. No, this is not a joke about certain physics.

If THIS was how 3D Anime looked, NOBODY would complain except for the purists.

"i find the monotone characters a bit dull" your favorite princess is rosalina edit: i feel like i should say this is a joke since i didnt expect anyone to actually see it

Someone mentioned that Billy moves around like he's from Hotel Transylvania and I can't see it any other way now.

Billy is DRIPPING with chaotic Deadpool energy, and I'm here for it. Also, if you like Soul Hound, you'd probably enjoy the game it's based on, Mr. Driller.

The "bouncy" animation style found in most Hollywood animated movies, like Hotel Transylvania, combined with an anime art style is incredible!

Yes, Scott, I'm sure you loved studying the "bounciness" of some of the characters.

Whoa just watching these intro clips the characters seem so full of life and not stiff its honestly really impressive

The first time ive genuinely considered playing a hoyo game, besides honkai impact. The combo of bouncy animation, hoyo's signature fan-service, gameplay style, fan-service, mini-games, and did I mention the fan-service?

I saw a clip of this game's cutscenes, and it was jaw-droppingly good animation. The animators worked hard and CARED about what they were doing. It's insane.

Dunno if Hoyo still doesn't do this but for the love of god, *either archive story related events or don't make story elements a limited time event* I don't care about missing the rewards but there isn't much reason for new players to play a game with a major lean on story, and then tell them they can't enjoy all of the story while reminding them they missed character introductions that came from a one time 3 week event

"Oh, and add a lot more maid characters, you can't go wrong with maid characters." Truer words have never been spoken

"I find the monotone characters a bit dull." As someone who likes monotone, I'd be willing to bet (or be proven wrong) it's the shitty writing for most of said characters that bugs you. A *lot* of writers make monotone characters then fail to make up for the inherent deficit in intrigue with more than maybe a single other trait. Also, you advocated for maid characters, their main shtick is being efficient and composed. And let's not forget a certain princess you like (same).

The animations of this game look great, almost would want them to make a CC character just to see her in this style

I think hoyo saw genshin and their Honkai series and thought to them selfs, "Do you know what we failed to do on our past games, we didn't give the gals azur lane levels of jiggle".

From what I’ve seen from the rest of the Genshin/HSR community regarding this game, they all seem to mirror your opinions here pretty closely. Animation and characters are great, minus the male MC being kind oof boring, combat is good, the TV world is not great and could use some love since it’s the main content of the game. People are a little concerned but enthusiastic because it just looks incredible and the animation is top tier.

I played the first Hoyoverse game Honkai. I liked it, but the emphasis of THIS IS A MOBILE GAME was getting to be waay too much for me. Same reason why I havent played Star Rail.... As you stated, this animation is top tier. Its crazy fluid looking full of energy and just seriously fun to look at. If they did an animation series, "Hoyo... Hint hint, Do this." I would seriously watch it, even if it was kind of bad. To see the character interactions with this kind of animation and style would just be a lot of fun. If hoyo did make an animation, I seriously doubt it would be bad considering the effort they put out in these games. Its just a shame they choose to do the mobile market.

My god the animations are so good, they all ooze personality and charm.😺

The Bag, My brother, he got the bag.

Billy really has almost Deadpool energy with how animated he is.

Another excellent salt! I'll definitely be checking it out, it seems like there's been a lot of love put into it by the developers!

"My body... is wiggly." -icecreamsandwich

Squash and stretch is incredibly underrated in animation, so many game and animation studios go for the hyper realistic and never really seem to be able to pull it off convincingly, so I'm happy to see this animation style growing in popularity. You can make characters uniquely expressive with this style and it's wonderful to see.

I love how jiggly the character animations look. That one guy reminds me of an anime Deadpool. Really hoping it comes to PS5.

im proud of hoyoverse for simultaneously offering game play and fan service most games of the same vibe as hoyoverse titles either stylise there characters into little blobs or are like a match 3 puzzle game hoyo is out there doing both and i think its good to counteract the steryotypes

Soul hound... Oh, that's why that looked familiar. It Mr. Driller.

2:39 he is honest to god giving off some Deadpool vibes and I love it

as a genshin hater and star rail liker, this is a big hoyoverse W

The thumbnail is uhh….pretty pretty good

"Nobody ever sits still when they talk and i love it"-scottfalco perfectly describing adhd.

Billy is literally every chaotic anime/animated/cartoon show character built into one character, i like him!

I feel like the animation is somewhere between Maxx Steel and Slug Terra, and I'm in love with it

Talking about animation go brrrrrrr *sits here drooling at my screen while listening to nice voice say the happy words*

Nice video as always! Also you were right! The animation in the game looks really cool. We just don’t see stuff like this too much anymore.

The 3d animation is actually so cool

Soul hounds is based off of Mr. Driller, fun fact.

8:10 - ...This is literally Mr. Driller. If you liked this minigame then look into the Mr. Driller series, it's a blast.

i might just play it for the animation, IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!

I love the look of games like these, but their open-ended nature has always discouraged me from playing them. I like my stories to have a beginning, middle and end.

Anby's sword is literally Raidens sword from mgrr.

That mini game with the dog is literally MR. Driller

Forget the maids! Ben and those npc bears are where its at and i want MORE!

Billy made me ridiculously happy and I can’t exactly explain it.

God this animation looks so good I am definitely going to give this game a look, thanks funny magic animation man.

Wait, there's one with a shark tail? Dibs.

One of two things can come out of that ending, both of which involve CC. One. Scott, draw CC in a maid costume. Two. Artists who are fans of Scott, draw CC in a maid costume.

If it comes to ps5, ill absolutely add it to my daily gaming with genshin. I love how animated it is

8:32 wait, you telling me this has Mr.Driller spinoff included? Count Me In!

THE GAME DID NOT COME OUT YET AND THEY HANDIN OUT SPONSORS ALREADY????????

I can't wait for this game. Holy crud. I enjoyed Genshin a lot and that game's combat was rather simple. This game almost looks like a slower DMC with character swaps instead of hotswap combos. It actually looks insane.

1:45 anybody else got an ad here. Cause that got a chuckle out of me

Scott’s into maids… who’d thunk it

I cant wait for this to come out. Its by far the Hoyo game im most excited for. Ive played Genshin and Star rail and theyre fun but they didnt fully click for me. But this, this looks like my bread and butter

The Hi fi rush style is very much appreciated.

I just went to their main website and everything looked so charming and lively. Mind you, it's a bunch of images, nice website design, and cool background music, so I can only imagine what the game is like if just the websites were that impressive. Time to try out this Equalizing test and see what happens

all hail, the salt dance!!!

This is my first time seeing this game and what the holy hell why is the animation so good

Sicilia: Falco, we can't be the only one who wants a Hoyo fighting game. Hoyo Versus. Every character we've seen in any Hoyo game is, "PEAK FIGHTING GAME DESIGN."

0:56 Pretty good stuff... I can imagine Aether's head moving robotically to the side.

I love how the action flow looks.

1:32 This dude is 1 line away from saying " I SLAY GoOobliiiinSSSSSsss"

this guy mentioned the entirety of the Victoria housekeeping except for the goat von lycaon

Wow, you're not kidding about the animation, that's top quality. Now we know where all their squillions of dollars went! I bounced off Genshin, but I might give this a try if it's not crammed full of spyware.

So if they make a sequel, will it be called Zenless Zone One? Jokes aside, game looks good, would have tried it if it wasn't a HoYo gacha game.

3:00 oh so anby is abed! Love those sorts of characters

when someone makes a mod to replace the censored animation & models with the original uncensored ones, I might try it

Your last request at the end Maid me laugh 🤣☕

Looks neat, but my concern is how it will play on a phone. Main reason I dropped Genshin for Star Rail is that trying to play an action game on a phone is...challenging. And I'm away from my computer fairly often so phone is sometimes the only option I've got for dailies (and there will be dailies in a Hoyo game)

wow, cant wait for this game to totaly legitamtely get an award next TGA

If no one has mentioned it yet, your "pupper" mini game appears to be a mr.driller style game.

Don't just add more maid characters, more butler characters too! Like Von Lycaon. Ever since I played "evolution world" (for the gamecube for those who want to look it up), where one of your party members is your own butler *WHO WIELDS A SHOTGUN*, I've been wanting more butler characters in games.

This is the first I've seen that TV monitor thing and that kinda dampens my hype for this. I don't even know what I'm looking at. I was really hoping there would be actual like stages you'd be moving through like a DMC game or something.

When the video started, I was expecting some generic game but Zenless Zone Zero legitimately has my interest.

Id love to try it but I tend to never get lucky on closed beta picks and this one was no exception.

Scott the Dog Minigame is just Mr. Driller Gameplay

The stamina system is a big issue. If I buy/download a game I want to play as much as I feel like not be limited by a cheap system that time gates content

The camera section reminds me of star fox guard

Alright, it turned from a no to a maybe. I'm not too fond of Hoyoverse's stuff but I am a sucker for ARPGs and its hard not to fall in love with that animation style. Hope that it doesnt get bogged down by microtransactions

4:10 *BEAH*

I hope someone makes a compilation of the animations just to see how far they distort their character models JUST to make actions more punchy. That has my interest. It's not enough for me to get it on any platform but as an observation.

most of the animation of this game i saw from a distance or of billy. it took me until 3:22, to notice Nicole's... bouncy physics.

This is actually my first time looking at the gameplay, ive finally decided to pick this up

there also seems to be alot more depth to the battle than it seems, there seem to be hidden commands to trigger different attacks on characters, typical of fighting games

I like that ZZZ doesn't even look and feel like a Hoyo game which normally shares the same art style

This game looks SO COOL, like, that animation? HOLY like... I initially got interested because... big fluffy wolf butler... *ahem* but this genuinely looks fun, I hope they give out a release date soon

6:21 that sounds nearly identical to the swarm mode simulated universe in HSR Like WEIRDLY similar

Soul Hound III is actually a reference to Mr Driller

The comic book + cool animation style really reminds me of Gravity Rush...just more bouncy. I'm very excited

I have been so frickin stoked for this game. I can't wait for it to release!

I'm enjoying the animation as well, although it's REALLY hard to maintain a consistent level of quality for a game that gets monthly updates, like Hoyo's usual business model. The weird Chinese exclusive Persona 5 game is a good example of this, with some of its cutscenes looking on-par with actual P5, meanwhile other cutscenes are just a black narration screen. I HOPE this game keeps its bouncy fun cutscenes. They make the euphoria alarms go off.

I need schitzophrenic dante

When you find out that Scott has never played Mr Driller

God damn, if they ever made a game that wasn't gacha, it would probably be my favorite game of all time.

The jiggle jiggle

I don’t think I’ve EVER seen squash and stretch applied to 3D models before. Can’t say I have an interest in playing this game, but it’s a joy to watch for sure

They should put Billy in every game ever

Wow. That actually looks pretty fun, and I absolutely adore the animation. This might be the first HoYoverse title I actually give a try.

I think they occasionally overdo it with the character animation, sometimes restraint can pay of better than some overexaggerated goofiness. In terms of the work being put into it it is very impressive though.

Billy's attacks look kinda like Dante from Devil May Cry
