Quick Look: LocoRoco Remastered

Holy shit. This game is basically the end of Inside.

Fuuuck I'm so hyped to play Loco Roco again

Surfer Jeff = Ben Pack?

One of the very few games I had to my original PSP. I didn't end up playing it that much or any of my other PSP games for that matter since I didn't enjoy playing games on the system. A lot of the PSP games were games I would rather play on a big TV rather than on a small handheld.

I remember the game being fine but it's been so long. This rerelease/remaster might actually make me consider playing LocoRoco again.

Really digging cross-coast QL's. Glad Jeff was able to chime for this, despite being sick.

Holy shit, this is a great Quick Look!

Damn son its almopst like Jeff G is now working in NY!

Anyway, its been 11 years already? Holy moly. I remember listenting to the music while on commute all the time.

I still like this game and played it last year. They really nailed the "Anti-Stress" factor that makes this game so endearing and the music is still fantastic.

@theongreyjoy: Oh you...

20 Year Old Dan's review.

I love you, Sonic.

I would trade every single GB member for Surfer Jeff.

I hope this does well enough for them to remaster the sequel since it improves most things about the first game.

Actually don't like the music. Not a fan of kids singing.

It's not everyday you get a reviewer from 11 years ago to chime in on a remaster! Glad to hear Surfer Jeff's take on this game.

Seems a bit expensive if it's really that short. Looks great, but I'll wait for a sale.

Thats a pretty good Forest Gump impression Vinny did

20 year old Dan was a real piece of work.

I loved this game back on the PSP and part of me still loves it now but I realized only recently with this re-release that this time coincided with a certain period of my life and brings back memories (of an ex specifically) that I don't like dealing with. Its a shame because it's a really good game but nah Loco I'm good.

Vinny's Jeff impression is going to give me nightmares.

I approve of this message.

Wow. I have an intense, visceral dislike about everything about this - the music, the look, the level design. The sound design. It's nightmarish.

This is also the first game to give me motion sickness just from watching. Safe to say I think I'll pass.

Loco Roco would be a great cellphone game.

@teek said:

No Metal Gear reference! I'm shocked!

Lol. Stepping back a moment, I think I understand a little.

The gameplay seems a bit simple as they say, but the charm in this game is amazing. It makes me happy just watching it.

We need more Surfer Jeff.

@theongreyjoy: Well hot damn, you're not wrong.

"Surfer Jeff" sounds like Hoagie from Day of the Tentacle haha

Am I the only one that would like content where they pull old reviews, play the game and discuss how their feeling either have changed or why they still stand behind the original review.

They should just do a stream where they look back at old reviews. That part of this video got me cracking up.

@datareborn: Agreed! That was some of the best material in this QL.

Oh snap, LocoRoco! I played the heck out of the second one, which was pretty much the same gameplay as the first one, but with a lot more lasting power.

I was just holding in my hand my copy of LocoRoco for the PSP yesterday.

Only PSP remaster I'm interested in is Lumines. Make it happen, Giant Bomb.

Taking the piss out of young Dan's reviews should be its own feature. XD

This was such a great game. Played the crap out of it on my PSP - the only Sony console I've ever owned. This and Untold Legends with my friends. That was the Diablo clone that let you play 4-player co-op via an adhoc network. It was so cool at the time, as portables with internet connections didn't really exist yet.

No one cares about 4k that much .

I'm glad they brought Greg Proops in to comment on Loco Roco.

Apparently the PSP version is available on the Vita. Maybe I'll give this game a shot there, looks cute.

Beast keeping me subscribed, great quicklook :D

Shame this is only the first game. Would have purchased if it was 1 & 2.

Is that Surfer Jeff, Internet Vinnie.

Hooray! GB East is so great!

What a crazy plot twist in this Quick Look!

I gotta agree about the sweet liquid honey of 4k OLED.

@vinny@danryckert

Hi, umm Jeff asked me to let you know that he heard the impression and review and is sorry to have to let you both go in this post-Damacy era. Maybe try Waypoint?

Thanks bye.

I saw turned my head to the video when the chorus of the small guys singing was focused, and I literally said out loud:

AWWW that's so cute!

... I never say that. This game is adorable.
