What's Happening

Replay: Fox Hunt

I harbor a dark secret: Despite their goofiness and lack of actual, engaging gameplay, I have a serious soft spot for full-motion video (or FMV) games. So imagine my surprise when Capcom community manager and friend of Replay Brett Elston informed me of an FMV game for the PS1 that I had never heard of.

On this week's Replay, I force Andrew Reiner, Dan Ryckert, and Tim Turi to join me for a look at Capcom's long-lost Fox Hunt. This "interactive comedy spy thriller" has some of the strangest gameplay we've ever encountered in the Replay room and is full of surprises...and dumb faces.

Be sure to stick around after the regular Replay for a very special second segment. The GI editors have been teasing our work on "Project Mako" for a few weeks now, and it begins here. Look at the text under the video for further information.

 

Last year, we held a special Replay event where we let you, the viewers, vote on a future Super Replay. We wanted to do something similarly unique this year, and we came up with the idea for Super Replay Showdown.

You can see the first act of this epic tournament in the second portion of this week's Replay (as well as a stand-alone video coming later today), but here are the basics:

Eight Game Informer editors have all come up with personal choices for our next Super Replay. Instead of sitting around and bickering with each other like we'd normally do to decide, we're holding a tournament (much like the famed NCAA basketball tourney). The editors rolled dice to find out what seed they would land in the tournament bracket. The editors will face off against each other in competitive games chosen by Ben Hanson to determine who moves on to the next round. We'll air one round of the tournament each week. The winner of the tournament determines what the next Super Replay is.

Enjoy this week's Super Replay Showdown, where we show off the crew of editors that will be competing, explain our personal Super Replay picks, and roll off to see who will be going against who. Tune in next week to witness the drama of our first match-ups and eliminations.

    edit: Also, Ben really needs to win. I love Conker's Bad Fur Day.
  • Reiner VS Phil? Dan vs Joe? Mako will surely be awesome. They should have had 40 oz during the dice roll off....Or did they?
  • hell yes !!!!!!!! sounds awesome

  • i can't watch this anymore, sorry i could only get to 21 min
  • Interesting. I vote for Half Life
  • I am really excited for this Super Replay showdown! Also, Fox Hunt looks really bad.

  • Listen to Brett Elston's podcast, VGMpire. It's all about vg music and stuff. Awesome to see him mentioned here btw.

  • I'm rooting for Reiner and Dan.
  • This is not a comedy. Nor is it a thriller.

  • Project Mako is awesome. I'm hoping for Jeff or Ben to win.
  • EVERYONE VOTE FOR METAL GEAR SO TIM CAN READ ALL THE TEXT!!

    I remember watching the replay of Crash and they didn't seem to enjoy it so just vote for Metal gear!!
  • thIs is awesome, cant wait for more!!!!

  • Oh boy those are some good choices, but my top 4 would be: 1. Conker's Bad Fur Day      2. Crash Bandicoot     3. Half life 1        4. Half life 2

  • ggaahhh i really want conker
  • This was a pretty good episode all around. I can't wait for the coming weeks.

  • I wouldn't mind seeing any of them except for Half-Life 2 (sorry Phil). I have played that game so many times that it wouldn't be that interesting to watch since I know exactly whats gonna happen next. Still. Mako sounds awesome cant wait to start seeing the eliminations.
