Flying sharks, exploding cows, piranhas, meteors – everything is meant to stop you! PewDiePie contacted our team to talk about our game and ask us if we could make it bigger, longer and badder.”Īccording to de Pessemier, It was their game jam creation’s pixelated, retro aesthetic – visuals that are very popular and arguably overused in the gaming industry right now – that first caught PewDiePie’s attention, selling him on the project and the direction Outerminds intended to take the title.

“In less than three days, we made a survival platformer game where you play as PewDiePie, accompanied by his two pugs, trying to get off a dangerous island. Some refer to this as the “PewDiePie” effect. He also has the ability to drive the sales of titles, setting the trend for what games countless other YouTubers focus on. You might find him annoying or see little value in the live streaming/YouTube phenomenon, but it isn’t going anywhere any time soon, and many content creators have built audiences most mainstream media outlets are envious of.īuilding a community as monumental and as powerful PewDiePies’ – he has over 38 million YouTube subscribers and reportedly made over $4 million last year from ad sales – doesn’t happen overnight, or without a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication. While many scoff at PewDiePie’s antics (he isn’t exactly targeting my demographic with his content), as someone who has dabbled in live streaming, as well creating gaming YouTube content, I have a tremendous amount of respect for what PewDiePie does. But its YouTube rise before release led to it being old news when it actually came out.In a strange turn of events, obnoxious YouTube and “let’s play” video creator, PewDiePie, is set to star in his own video game – PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist. Unfortunately, with so much of the gameplay shown on YouTube before the game even launched in full, when the time did come people were sort of…over it.ĭon’t get me wrong, Hello Neighbor has, and probably will always have, a dedicated fanbase. It was horror but quirky, still jump-scary, and still worth screaming at. Hello Neighbor got a lot of people really hyped when early-access footage came to YouTube. Its widespread popularity happened just as quickly as it ended, and now Granny is – hopefully – in the past. Granny was never really that good a game, but it was a little spooky and so it qualified for YouTubers as a title that would get younger players liking, sharing, commenting and subscribing. Price aside, this game became YT’s flavour of the month – much to the annoyance of its dedicated Reddit fanbase – and then flopped out of existence.

Would I have paid for this game? Probably, but only if it was dirt-cheap.

I did want to play it after watching a Let’s Play though – but maybe because it’s free on Steam. Once you know where the scares and the fourth-wall-breaking action come in, you could argue there’s not too much scope for a lot of people to play this game themselves.
