RetroforceGO Tribute Animation WIP [lower your expectations]
perri | 8:22 AM on 07.10.2008 27 comments


Hey Guys,

sooo, its here. I stayed at work late last night to get this together - it's abysmal. I'll admit though that it wouldn't be half as bad if I had a decent soundtrack in place, and if I replaced that placeholder scene between the two with the radio. Anyways, I'm going to keep working on this when I can. I'd like any feedback, so far I would say its about a quarter finished- visually. I still need to refine what I have as you can likely tell and add epic introductions of all other cast members (more is in store for Topher). So I guess this is the intro+.

I typically like to work on stuff like this on my own but I typically don't finish anything so I'm going to extend an offer. If any of you out there have a good knowledge of audio and soundtracking, let me know if your interested in scoring this. I was hoping to put in existing game music, but an original 8-bit score would, I think, bring it into the glory this podcast deserves. So if anybody is interested in creating a midi track for the finished product or just gathering songs and putting them in the right places PLEASE let me know, I need help.

So without further adieu- here it is. I suck.



Was supposed to be finished for tonight or when they release the show, but this is what I have so I'm showing it, and calling for help.

RetroforceGO- I Love you.

Anthony, that did NOT SUCK. Are you crazy? The scene with Chad flying with the rainbows behind him was worth the price of admission all on its own!

More important is that you made something like this for us just to say you are excited we are coming back. I can't say thank you enough for that. :)
perri's Destructoid Blog
Colette, to use an obscure reference for the sake of obscurity; 'your amazing'

have fun recording tonight!
garrfunkel's Destructoid Blog
It was like watchin an awesome volcano explode and spew awesome lava everywhere. Nice job.
tazarthayoot's Destructoid Blog
Jesus christ I lost my shit when I saw Chad explode onto the screen with his rainbow.

Chad, can you do this at Comic Con for me, plz??
Technophile's Destructoid Blog
dude, don't be so hard on yourself! This is pretty damn good.
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
Not to be cliche or anything, but that was indeed...AMAZING. I liked the Mega Man and Proto Man figures on the shelf in the beginning - nice touch.

That would be Chad's super ultra mega move if he should happen to appear in the next Marvel vs. Capcom game. As a matter of fact, someone should make a MUGEN video with Chad kicking some ass.

Protip: "Your" is possessive ("your soda"), "you're" is a contraction of "you are."
perri's Destructoid Blog
Wow, thanks so much guys! Means a lot.

Char, ya I realized this on my way to Tim Hortons this morning- hope you can forgive me! Good thing English is only my Minor! ugh...

This reminded me of intro to captain planet, it's AMAAAZING and full of heart.

If you're thinking about using lobit music may I suggest anything by Nullsleep?

anyways, this deserves a high-five!

 about me

Hey Dtoid. Welcome to perritoid!

I'm a 21 year old artist fresh out of University. While I was there I experimented mostly with Animation, Video, and Games.

The lovely Anthony Burch* recently featured the fruits of my experimentation here on Destructoid as part of the Indie Nation Series Which probably is one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me! One of many reasons why I love Destructoid.

*The Resident Person Named Anthony Who Isn't Anthony Perri.

My first console was the SNES. It remains my favourite, and I've been playing games ever since without pause. Recently I've been a little burned out on the modern sensibilities of a suddenly overwhelmingly Western market. Most of the HD games don't appeal to me. I love my Wii and have undergone, because of this, a sort of Retro-Renaissance of my own.

When I discovered RFGO I immediately went out and bought a second SNES and a bunch of games, since then I've dived into the Virtual Console and tried to buy as many cartridges as I could!


That said, I've been able to get my hands on a pretty powerful iMac and, with the help of Bootcamp, may have been converted into something of a PC gamer courtesy of Valve. Seriously, Steam is amazing...



Oh one other thing that you may be interested in is that I AM ON DIAL UP. ugh.
Luckily my iMac is pretty much portable so if I need to download a game or play some L4D my friends are more than happy to have me.

Want to know more? remember those 10 things... posts? I was a little late.
