- Hey, guys. - Hey, everybody.
Just wanted to give you a quick update,
something that's coming to React channel,
something new or sort of new.
It's coming back.
We are having the reactors play through the entirety of a game
and the return of our Let's Plays.
It's so exciting.
We're finally bringing it back to the React channel.
Give us just one moment and we're gonna tell you
what those games are gonna be.
- Yeah, so to tell you a little bit of how we got here,
we made an update video like this back when we first finished
the first Last of Us game all the way through
and the first Outlast too,
and we were trying to figure out, well, let's not do these Let's Plays again
until we can put the games out much faster
because it takes a long time to put together the episodes
that we do as our Let's Plays.
We take a bunch of different people at different times,
playing the game.
They play all the way through.
And there's experienced players, there's novice players,
and we put together this one unique experience
to see how did everybody go through that game.
And that ends up being that every episode
gets two to three hundred minutes per episode that we have to cut down,
and our editing team, it takes a long time.
And, over time, we've gone, well, are we going
to just never end up putting out Let's Plays again
because it just takes a long time, or can we go back
and at least be putting out something like we used to,
and that's what we finally decided to do
is that let's go back, and we used to do this,
we can do this again.
Let's just bring back Let's Plays like we used to do it on the channel.
- And so this is how it's gonna happen, guys.
On top of our regular gaming episodes that already come out on Tuesdays,
once a week on Thursdays, we're going to be having
our Let's Play episodes, where we carry through
the entirety of a game.
And here's what's gonna be played.
First of all, we're gonna finish out Rick and Morty VR.
We hear our huge Rick and Morty fans.
Our reactors couldn't get enough of the game,
and we didn't want to hold it from them,
so we invited them back in and they're gonna play it all.
Also, after the huge outcry in the comments
we saw after our first episode-- - A couple comments.
- There's a few. - Just a couple.
- A few comments of Outlast 2-- we decided, fine,
we're gonna do it.
We're gonna put them through the horrors of Outlast 2,
see if they can survive.
On top of that, we're also going to be doing
the horror/platformer Little Nightmares,
and we're going to be continuing games
like Bendy and the Ink Machine as they release over the months.
- And we also have Last of Us-- - Oh gosh, yes.
I almost forgot-- - Don't forget Last of Us!
- The biggest! - You'll kill us!
- Eventually, as we all know, the sequel to the ground-breaking
Last of Us will eventually be coming out,
so to get ahead of the game, 'cause you have asked for this before,
is we're gonna go ahead and play The Last of Us DLC,
Left Behind.
- And so how these are gonna be coming out
is we already put out now seven videos a week,
one video a day on the React channel, which is incredible.
Good job working on it. - Thank you.
Me and my team, we work hard.
- And so this is gonna be the eighth video every week,
and so we're gonna have to put that out
as a second upload on one of the days,
so that's gonna be on next Thursday.
We're not sure yet what exact time we're gonna put it out,
so guess what that means?
Guess what I'm gonna be telling you guys
that nobody on YouTube has ever told you to do before:
we're gonna want you to hit that notification button!
- Ding! - Yay!
YouTube, if you don't know, at the end of last year
ended up changing how the recommendation engine
works for the most part.
So when you go to your homepage, you won't necessarily see
the people that you watch and that you're subscribed to,
so the best way to know when we're gonna be uploading
all of these episodes and these Let's Plays,
if you really want to see them, is to go to that subscribe button.
There's that bell. You hit that bell.
Then there's a box that you have to check,
'cause they make it so simple to watch this stuff,
and then you'll be getting notified on your phone or an email
of when the video has gone live.
- There's one more thing we need from you guys.
Look, we've got a big list, a backlog of games
that we know we want to play,
but what do you want to see us play? - Yes.
- We've seen all your comments before in every one of these videos,
but take this update video as an opportunity.
Put down in those comments those games that you really want
to see on the channel, what you want to see
the reactors play through. Whether it's a grotesque horror
or an uplifting spiritual adventure,
let us know down in those comments so we can get to it.
- And yeah, generally, we're gonna be trying to do
some of these update videos more often
to let you guys know what's going on.
But this one in particular was something that the company,
that we all have been wanting to do Let's Plays again
for such a long time, so we were really excited.
- It's finally back!
- We could pop on and hope that you guys are really excited too.
It's starting next Thursday.
We're gonna get this started.
We're gonna get the party started. - It's happening!
- I know. - It's all happening!
Don't miss out. - Thanks so much.
- (both) Bye.
