Next up on Jason's video game source
0:03
members,
0:04
I got some early impressions for
0:06
Capcom's newly releasleased Prague Mada.
0:10
Um, this just released yesterday. I made
0:12
about uh I don't know 57 58 gameplay
0:15
VODs at this point already because
0:19
um got a little story with this game
0:21
early on. I really didn't like it.
0:23
Thought it was kind of mediocre first 30
0:25
minutes, but I'm a few hours in now and
0:28
the game is fire. Okay. Uh, a month and
0:31
a half ago, I played Resident Evil
0:33
Recreum, which I with which I know is a
0:36
perfect one of the perfect Resident Evil
0:38
games. So, Capcom is on fire. You know,
0:41
this is a new IP. So, you got to give
0:44
this, you know, you see all these
0:45
developers, you know, they they're
0:47
they're terrified to create a new IP.
0:49
This is a new IP. Prog, right? Um,
0:52
released April 17th, developed and
0:54
published by Capcom.
0:56
uh couple hours in the game is is just
0:58
getting better and better. It's like a
1:00
third person action adventure game where
1:02
you play as Hugh who uh you know is sent
1:07
to uh this moon this base called what's
1:10
called a cradle and basically an
1:12
accident happened a seismic earthquake
1:14
or some [ __ ] happens and basically four
1:17
of his crew miss crew mates his friends
1:19
get killed and he survives and along
1:22
comes this uh pragmata which is like an
1:24
android called uh he ends up naming her
1:27
Diana so it's like a little girl And to
1:30
me, Diana is is pragmatada at this
1:33
point. Um,
1:35
Capcom in, you know, the actress or
1:37
actor, whoever plays uh Diana are doing
1:40
an amazing job at creating this
1:43
relationship between Hugh and Diana. Um,
1:46
so that is a big part for me at least.
1:48
You know, I'm I'm already thinking about
1:50
the ending of this game. like they
1:52
better it better have a happy ending for
1:53
Diana and Hugh uh from their
1:56
interactions which are just unbelievable
1:59
at this point. I'm loving the
2:00
interactions between Diana and um Hugh.
2:03
Uh so game play to me I would coin it as
2:07
um
2:11
misdirection type confusion type
2:13
gameplay where you're two things aren't
2:16
are independent within you hack and you
2:18
shoot. Okay, hacking is independent and
2:21
shooting is independent. So, you're kind
2:22
of distracted. Uh, you know, it's like a
2:24
distraction gameplay mechanic where you
2:26
got to watch out for enemies and you got
2:27
to hack them by using uh buttons to to
2:31
go through a grid and, you know, pick
2:33
items, you know, you pick up items that
2:35
help Diana. By the way, Diana's a
2:37
hacker. Hugh the shooter independent
2:40
each and they all got their gameplay
2:41
mechanics and upgrades and everything.
2:43
Uh, so the game play is always going to
2:46
be interesting. It's always going to be
2:48
um it's not very challenging. I beat a
2:50
couple bosses. It's not very
2:52
challenging. Uh, I think I died maybe
2:55
one time making and I'm making gameplay
2:57
videos, you know. I'm not just playing
2:58
the game. So, it's not that difficult,
3:00
at least the first two or three
3:02
chapters. And, um, but it's good. like
3:06
it's engaging because like I said, it's
3:09
like a a mashup of confu confusion
3:12
dealing with multiple enemies where you
3:13
got to hack them and you got to shoot
3:14
them and they're they're they're
3:16
independent of each other. So, it's kind
3:19
of like uh you got to watch your back
3:20
constantly even though you got an
3:22
android pragmata girl named Diana on
3:25
your back literally in Hugh's case. So,
3:28
game play is solid, maps are solid,
3:31
level design solid. You know,
3:34
there's a place called the shelter.
3:36
Think of Resident Evil typewriter room
3:38
where it got melancholic music, ambiance
3:41
music uh playing when you reach a like a
3:44
respit point within the game. There's
3:46
one like big respit point, one big just
3:49
it's called the shelter. And here you
3:51
could talk to Diana and you, you know,
3:53
throughout where you go out into these
3:54
uh you know, you go out into the cradle
3:57
into the the the moon base and you pick
4:00
up items. You could like give Diana a
4:02
presents and she talks about the
4:03
presents like you get I gave her a
4:06
basketball. She was asking Hugh if he
4:07
could even dribble, you know, just
4:09
little interactions are funny and
4:11
everything. And the loop the loop is
4:13
powerful. The loop is
4:15
another thing that surprised me about
4:17
Pragmata is the loop. The loop is very
4:19
very good where you go to the shelter.
4:22
You can always go back to the shelter.
4:23
You find these uh these little escape
4:26
hatches. You can always go back to
4:27
shelters. There's a tram that takes you
4:29
all over. You get loadout screens. You
4:31
like I said, you can upgrade uh Hugh
4:33
suit. You can upgrade uh Diana's
4:36
hacking. You can also uh upgrade weapons
4:38
and stuff and collect different weapons
4:39
and schematically. There's this thing
4:41
called uh this science fiction. I don't
4:44
know science fiction really, but uh like
4:47
think of 3D printers, but there's
4:49
something called filament on the move
4:51
base where you literally create cars,
4:53
buildings, androids. You could create
4:55
anything with this material, right? So,
4:58
a lot of it, the game and the ideas
5:00
behind the game has to do with this
5:02
material called filament and whatnot.
5:04
So, yeah, this is a new IP, man. I'm
5:06
giving I'm I'm going to give Capcom
5:08
credit. Okay, this is a new IP. Uh, and
5:11
it's it's solid as hell. The first three
5:13
hours into it, it's it's it's solid. And
5:15
I heard people are having issues getting
5:17
um the the disc. The reason why I was
5:20
able to get get this shipped to me was
5:22
because I ordered it December 31st in
5:24
Amazon in USA. And uh yeah, I was able
5:27
to get a hard disk. And I recently and I
5:31
really don't buy a lot of DLC, but I
5:33
actually bought the DLC for like the
5:34
costumes cuz I'm having such a good time
5:37
early on at least in Pragmata. I
5:39
actually literally decided to buy the
5:41
the DLC which comes with like artwork uh
5:44
different music because you can also
5:46
play a jukebox and play different music
5:48
like lowfi EDM type music all types of
5:51
music actually in uh in the shelter
5:55
because a shelter is like the hub of uh
5:58
pragmata. You're going to spend a lot of
6:00
time going to the shelter. You're going
6:02
to go to the shelter, leave the shelter
6:03
a lot. So, uh, why not have some
6:06
different outfits, some different music,
6:08
and some, uh, artwork to look at and,
6:11
you know, stuff like that. So, yeah,
6:13
man. The gameplay loop's powerful. Oh,
6:14
yeah. And I'm playing this on a
6:15
PlayStation 5 Pro. I'm not a graphics
6:18
[ __ ] by any means, but, you know, the
6:19
game looks amazing. Everywhere you look,
6:21
you see uh, real time rate trace
6:25
reflections and stuff. So, you know, I
6:27
appreciate the extra horsepower that the
6:29
P PlayStation 5 Provides. You know,
6:32
there's only, I think, one true like uh
6:34
mode, but there's also a mode where you
6:36
can like run 120 frames per second uh
6:40
uncapped, I think, if you got the TV
6:42
that can support that. But yeah, man,
6:46
I want to get back to this [ __ ] man.
6:47
This game, this game, this is this is,
6:50
you know, Capcom. I remember Capcom back
6:52
in 2013 after Resident Evil 6, man.
6:54
Everybody was like, Capcom's [ __ ] You
6:57
know, we're all thinking that. And um
7:00
you know now they're here and they might
7:02
have one of the best years ever for a
7:05
publisher developer. You know when you
7:07
think about Resident Evil Recrim got
7:09
Pragmata now which reviewed very well.
7:13
Um I'm personally going to probably
7:16
review it very well cuz this I'm having
7:18
a blast with it. It's a solid ass game.
7:20
I mean it's a I'm having a great time
7:22
with it. Um so and you also got Oni
7:25
Musha. Then you got probably a Kami in a
7:27
year or two. So Capcom's on fire, man.
7:31
I'm going to give them the give give
7:32
them their their roses or whatever the
7:34
hell you want to give them. [ __ ] You
7:36
know, they're they're they're they're
7:37
solid and I'm having a great time with
7:40
Pragmata.
7:42
So, I'm trying to think is if there's
7:44
anything else I need to tell you. Yeah.
7:46
So, that was like the big thing that
7:47
really made me fall for Pragmata was
7:51
Diana and Hugh's relationship. the
7:54
interactions that that's I didn't think
7:56
that would happen because I played
7:57
plenty of games where you know there's
7:59
witty banter there's good interactions
8:01
and stuff but Capcom did such a good job
8:03
with Diana making her seem like such a
8:05
little girl who's also android but she's
8:08
like a you know like a little girl and
8:11
uh she's making Hugh a better man and
8:14
he's making her you know like like he's
8:17
starting to raise her as a father cuz he
8:19
Hugh doesn't have any kids the
8:20
protagonist you know he's just trying to
8:23
find a way to get off uh this moon base,
8:25
the cradle and stuff. And uh you know,
8:28
he you know, early on because if it
8:31
wasn't for Diana, he'd be dead. You
8:33
know, she's the one that saved him
8:35
during the earthquake and you know,
8:36
repaired his suit and everything. And uh
8:40
you know, you could tell she really
8:42
adores him too, you know, and she likes
8:44
talking to him. She likes you know, they
8:46
just have this great relationship and
8:48
everything. So
8:50
that was one of the kickers. And also,
8:52
like I said, the the gameplay loop is
8:54
really good. Has it has some Resident
8:56
Eviles uh energy, I would say, with the
8:59
gameplay loop and stuff with the with
9:01
the shelter. You know, you go out and uh
9:05
you know, shoot some robots and stuff.
9:06
And by the way, the enemy variety, it's
9:09
not the best, but it's getting better.
9:10
You know, there's these flying, you
9:12
know, turrets. There's some huge mega
9:14
security uh bots and there's some walker
9:16
type bots and you know quadra ped bots
9:20
and big bots and whatnot. uh members. Oh
9:24
yeah, uh today's Saturday, so happy
9:26
Saturday. And I think that's about it
9:28
