>>152304579Neat!
It’s out!https://youtu.be/RdOShBRe6OA
>>152304579I loved these games as I kid so i'm super excited for this
>>152305919Hey, new game coming out, cool.
>>152304579This feels familiar but I can't pin it
>>152306839It's a cartoon based on picrelated, it was in IP limbo for a while but this company called Playground Productions brought the rights and has been devoted to reviving it.
>>152304579>Backyard SportsThat's a name I haven't heard in awhile...
>>152306939Neopets can still happen!
>>152304579
>>152306881Honestly great, feels like more and more stuff made for kids, that's of decent to good quality, it just striped to its barest form or is just garbage. If I had a kid and they were on the computer/phone/tablet all the time, I'd like it if were stuff like this and other (90's/00's era) Humongous Entertainment.
>>152307541Most Humongous games are on the App Store now, Backyard Baseball was late to the party because of IP issues.
>>152304579>absolute chad in the whole animationBased Pablo.
hope the new game's good and in the spirit of it all. also hope that it gets people to draw cute italian siblings more.
>>152304579Sounds cool
>>152307743Based Pablo fan.
>>152304579Actually kino. Maybe it's just nostalgia but they did a great job with the writing and characters. The only character i feel like they didn't do really justice was Pete Wheeler but probably cause they didn't wanna get in trouble for portraying a retad. some of the voice actors don't really fit, but most do. I'd like to see more. Can't wait for the game
Got drunk and watched this whole thing last year. What a damn shame, I used to love these gameshttps://youtu.be/cOVZE7AHXmo?si=GQqkjrcJPAi50uqT
where the fuck is my Pajama Sam cartoon?
>>152309509Pete shouldn't understand sarcasm enough to make any of the snarky remarks he made in that cartoon. Even if you're afraid of depicting a stupid character as stupid, you should still consider something like that as being out of character.
>>152305919Oh that was really cute, cartoons with this art style always get me.
>>152306881SOVL
>>152306939lmao is this a comedy?
I'd rather get a Putt-Putt cartoon, honestly
>>152312139The guys that bought the rest of Humongous don't care about making new stuff with their IPs, just making sure you can still buy the old games.
>>152305919>Achmed doesn't have a thick accent>Pete doesn't sound like a retardNot MY Backyard Kids
>>152307743Really, the only badass motherfucker in town.
>>152309509>>152310085I’m guessing they’re trying to model him after J.P. Mercer from ‘Craig of the Creek’.
So when's the episode where the MLB kids come to town and blow everyone else (except Pablo) out of the water?
>>152313058That's an idea. And you could have the MLB players voice themselves
>>152307743>152307743Never played this series, but this dude radiates chad energy.
>>152304579>>152305919These are some fairly big names for a 10 minute short based on an obscure computer game franchise. Why not save money by just hiring actual voice actors? I don't think anyone cares and it might even be better.
>>152313337Pablo Sanchez is my nigga, we share the same birth month (August), and his stats in pretty much every BYS game are cracked, to the point where NOT using him is like a handicap. >>152313401Maybe in hopes the star power might bring more eyes? I just hope it didn't cost them too much, given the animation for nice it was probably cost a pretty penny.
>>152307743https://rave.dj/Nm0hoTf05OAZzQ
>>152304579https://baraag.net/tags/backyardbaseballAn artist named Mason Station, known as liccmyhead, is into this character.
>>152313416>Maybe in hopes the star power might bring more eyes?Yeah you'd think, but aside from Tiffany Haddish most of these actors are D-List Celebrities at best. Not famous enough to be recognized but still probably way more expensive to get than just hiring off Voices.com or something
>>152305919>NOPEThe delivery and quick editing really got a kek from me
>>152313474I first learned about these characters thanks to his fanart.
>>152313401>>152313416>>152313539I remember Lawrence Fishburne talking about his role as the Beyonder in ‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’ saying that he thinks voice acting isn’t that much different from live action acting.

I must confess... I've never played a Backyard Sports game in my life. But one commercial for Sandlot Sluggers I saw on TV all the time growing up has lived rent free in my head for years. It's the one where they sing "take me out to the backyard." For the life of me I can't find, so here's the intro to the game on Wii:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pxM1WsNcNE&pp
>no kimi or kenny kawaguchiat least there were smug twins
>>152313787>It's the one where they sing "take me out to the backyard."Could you maybe be thinking of this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIvPo7lJjAI
>>152313825>KimiYou mean Vicki?
>>152313787https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIvPo7lJjAIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS43DFuy_5Y
>>152313825>>152313853
>>152313861Oh, you nailed it
>>152313662WE WANT A PITCHERNOT A BELLY ITCHER!!!
>>152313416>to the point where NOT using him is like a handicap.Sometimes when playing these games I actually would handicap myself by picking the worst kids on purpose. But the AI was always laughably retarded so i'd still somehow go undefeated
>>152313990SA-WIIIING BATTER!HE WAS IN THERE LIKE SWIMWEAR
>>152313990>>152313662SWING BATTER!
>>152313853>>152313880oh my bad, meant vicki. >her and angela are stuck as background charactersweak
>>152313196I think they should've had Pablo be voiced by a semi-famous sports star
>>152314186How famous is Arturo Castro?
>>152313662>>152314179BET YOU CAN'T HIT A TOUCHDOWN!
>>152314183I thought for sure that Angela was gonna show up during the scene at the pizzeria, since I assume the Delvecchio family owns the place. Unless this town doesn't have any child labor laws lol.Also i'm glad that Italians are the one minority you're still allowed to stereotype because if they'd unguidofied Tony I would have rioted
>>152314224Apparently he had a sketch comedy show on Comedy Central? But I had never heard of him before watching this
>>152314230CAN'T SCORE A GOOOOOAAAALLL!!!
>>152305919Made me sad watching it because it's so good and I want more but I know that's a huge ask. :(
>>152312146On one hand, that sucksOn the other hand, at least they're still available to buy
>>152314696They could yet still do it.
>>152315074Animation is expensive, and for very little monetary gain. I'd like to believe, but it's unlikely we'll get more than maybe one more animation prior to the new game's release and then nothing after, even if the game performs well.Here's hoping.
>>152314224He was on Broad City
>>152313662WATCH OUT, BATMANHERE COMES THE JOKER
>>152307743>No anti-drug PSA episode where the gang deals with Pablo's juice addiction
>>152308253God willing. Angela Delvecchio was my first ever waifu
>>152313416>to the point where NOT using him is like a handicap.Personally I prefer to just avoid the pro kids, they're also deliberately broken
>>152314183Vinnie sounded more like Angela than himself in the short.
>>152317436Hopefully the new game finds some way to fix that problem
>>152313662MAY I REMIND YOU THAT THE PRIMARY DIRECTIVEIS TO HIT THE BALL!
>>152316992same!had a MASSIVE crush on her when i was younger
>>152313474>>152313563That guy's art is shit anyway.
>>152313662YOU SWING LIKE AN OLD LADY IN A PURDY LITTLE DOLLY STORE!
>>152319491Why do you lie so brazenly?
>>152319149She's fiesty. I like that in a woman
There's way more Backyard Sports fanart than I thought there was
>>152321384They must have hit a gold mine.
>>152313729Fucked up, here. Kimmy's nickname is "Twinkie Toes".
Could Pablo beat Christopher Robin?
>>152324743I've been thinking about this moment. Yes.
>>152324743He could take that bum deep with zero effort
By the way, I’m making subtitles for the video on Amara.org, can someone transcribe what Pablo is saying? I don’t have enough grasp of Spanish to know if it’s accurately spelled.
>>152326000Taco burrito guacamole.
here's the fan-made H.E. version of Samantha Pearce
>>152326011You could have just said no, there’s no shame in admitting lack of knowledge.
If you have a backyard big enouigh to play baseball in, you should probably turn it into a granny flat or units.Get above the rest in the race.
>>152313058>>152313196>Pablo at the Bat
>>152326000>¡Adiós, baseball! = Good bye, baseball!>Gracias, yo les ayudo = Thanks, I'll help them>Hey, ¿a dónde se fueron todos? = Hey, where did everyone go?>Bueno, buena suerte = All right, good luck>¿Qué onda, Jocinda? = Wassup, Jocinda?>¡El carrito! = The cart!>Hey, ¿a dónde vas? = Hey, where are you going?>¡Regrésate! = Come back!
>>152326069I was really hoping she'd be in the new game when they announced that the series was coming back. But it seems like they're just catering exclusively to the 90s kids with this revival and are treating the Atari era like it never happened. Which is a shame because I grew up playing those games and even though I admit they aren't the best I think they made some good additions to the franchise.
>>152326370They're probably sticking to the classic cast for their first game mainly to gauge interest. If it succeeds then we'll probably see some of the later kids down the line.
>>152305919>flash animation>spunky brown girl babbling about somethingnah, I'm good
>>152326320Thanks.
>>152326418I'd have an issue with that second point if the game wasn't already full of browns as-is>>152328646>chris-chan eyes
>>152307743He actually does know English
>>152304579For me it's Frank Thomas, the best pitcher in the neighborhood
>>152326418>being filtered by it for having a brown character when half of the characters in the source material are brownKek
>>152329439>>152329801I remember reading somewhere about how when the Humongous developers were coming up with the cast for the game they made sure the ratio of whites-to-"POC" was exactly 50/50
>>152330559And they couldn't get that right, the only white kids there are>billy jean>lisa>pete>ashley>sidney>dmitri>marky>tony>annie>gretchen>angela>reese>kimmyFor a total of 13/30
>>152330782Kiesha and Mikey are white
>>152326398They NEED to bring the Atari-era theme song back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8klN_vEhHtQ&t=10s
