Topic: Outright Games

Welcome to Outright Games thread.
Here you can discuss and share your experience from the games by Outright Games.

I personally have some interest with the games by Outright Games such as Paw Patrol games, Racing with Ryan, My Little Pony, Jojo Siwa, etc.
I like to play kids games by Outright Games as the publisher providing a lot of kids franchisee from Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, etc in this modern era.
I heard also some issues from the games especially on Switch version which the games have worse performance than other version consoles.
I heard those feedback as my awareness in picking the games so I definitely pick the PS4 & PS5 for the games by Outright Games to avoid disappointing experience.
But, anyway...
They are not really bad games in my opinion, depend on the developer who made them.

What is your favorite games by Outright Games ?

Paw Patrol World will be released on 29 September 2023.
I curious to see the improvement in this game by being Open World style, unlike the first three games which being 2.5 D platformer style.
If you are a Paw Patrol fan, you can consider this game.

New Jumanji game by Outright Games due to 3 November 2023.
The second game looks like Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One style with a little bit Crash Bandicoot style.
I'm glad the second game can be pushed the age rating until rated E10+, still games for kids.

Ah yes, the LJN of our days. They'll license any kid-friend property for the sake of making quick, easy money. Regardless of the quality of the games themselves. They're fine for young, entry-level gamers.

But you'll most likely never get an award-winner from this publisher.

As entertaining as seeing something puke rainbows.

Buyer beware.

@Magician One thing is to have proper kids games like Bubble Bobble, Toki, Pokemon, Spyro etc. you know, games with charm and attention to details. Those licensed games are best described with one word, shovelware

My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure was very good. While it's short, they did a good job making a game that stayed faithful to the source material, the movie, My Little Pony: A New Generation. Liked it enough I bought it on discount on PC to have it there too.

Since they have the DreamWorks license, where on earth is my Trolls game Outright?

@Zuljaras I disagree with this, there are some licensed games out there that are great. Good example, Smurfs: Mission Vileaf. The developers did a great job making a well made game, with attention to source material. One of my favorite games in recent years too.

I feel if a license game lives up to its source material, while still being a fun game to play, then I don't consider it shovelware. I can't speak about the other games as I only played one OG game.

@Sunsy
Better keep your eyes on Outright Games YouTube channel because they have announced new Jumanji game just now after last time Paw Patrol World.

Also, I have feeling Outright Games might be publish new Troll game if you know the newest Troll movie will be released in this November 2023.

AAAAAAGH...!!! 😃😃😃
Rainbow High on PS5 !!!
Here is the trailer.

I love to see behind the scenes of making Paw Patrol Grand Prix from the character rendering to track rendering. I saw somebody who put some dedication on kids games.
This is also to answer for all of you guys, if you still salty with the games by Outright Games, I said back off !
The games by Outright Games are NOT shovelwares.

@Anti-Matter I follow them on my personal Instagram, mostly for updates on the My Little Pony game, so I do keep an eye on them.

I hope so, given they made games based on Spirit Untamed and How To Train Your Dragon, I would love it if they make a game with Trolls too. Still bummed out over the mobile Trolls game being available for less than a year. I just want a full video game I could always play. I'd get it on both Switch and PC if Outright ever decides to work something out with DreamWorks.

@Sunsy There might always be exceptions to the rule. I am very suspicious when I see licensed game because 95% of the time they are total garbage that looks like a cheap phone game like that Jumanji or Hotel Transylvania games.

I noticed this Ben 10 game will get re-release copy with PS5 upgrade on its cover.
The old version didn't even have that notification on its cover.
Could it be the re-release version have 60 FPS support on PS5 ?
I would like to get 60 FPS support version. 😊

Crayola Scoot is the only Outright game i have, though i played a few more on Xbox Game Pass. Also, some Outright games(notably Race With Ryan) used to be on the Crappy Games Wiki before it shut down

Also, i discovered a way to totally break the S.C.O.O.T mode. When it's your turn, start grinding on a rail. When you get off the rail, do a trick and/or try to land on another rail because the timer doesn't stop until you stop grinding. Ideally, you will have a score so big that the A.I has no chance of winning.

i figured it out myself

@Anti-Matter yeah what are they gonna do when Ryan is a teenager?

Talking about Paw Patrol, it will have second movie Paw Patrol The Mighty Movie due to 29 September 2023 and I really really wish it will get the game version on consoles by Outright Games as the publisher and I really hope it will be a good 3D action game, not that 2.5 D platformer style from previous games.

I saw someone call them the LJN of modern gaming and that sounds about right lol.

Only played two games from them but I think both of them give me enough of a good idea on not to expect much from them. First was My Little Pony A Maretime Bay Adventure and, uh, it's about the length of a Yakuza substory. Previews gave the impression of an actual platformer and there's barely any platforming, just minigames and fetch quests, and the game's also inexcusably short, it's barely an hour. Like I'm not one to go "BACK IN MY DAY!", but I was growing up with games like Battle for Bikini Bottom and Simpsons Hit and Run, games with plenty of to do and keep a kid busy, even if the games weren't amazing, you had plenty of licensed games that would at least keep you busy for a spell. ]Also as a fan of G4, I'm totally not salty G4 got snubbed from getting a proper game for over a decade only for G5 to get 1 right off the bat(and evidently two from recent news)

The other game I played was Transformers Battlegrounds, which is the Transformers game I ever played. More meaty than MLP:AMBA, but still a very basic and short Turn-based strategy game that just left me feeling empty. I will say it's still better Rise of the Dark Spark, but doesn't even come close to some of the genuinely great Transformers games like Fall of Cybertron or Devastation. Also it loses points for not having the best boy Hot Rod despite being the Cyberverse continuity

@Megas75
My Little Pony by Outright Games was quite good in my opinion, but the game was too short and not really maximized the potential to be 3D platformer game.
Maybe it was like testing the water approach by releasing the basic looking games to see the feedback from audiences and when the games got some good feedbacks, the developers might make better games.

And about Transformers Battlegrounds, I enjoyed the game better than Mario + Rabbids, even my Mario + Rabbids still not finished for 6 years. I would like to see Transformers Robots in Disguise get game version on console as I saw great potential to become 3D action adventure games like Transformers games on PS3.

Despite there are a lot of games by Outright Games pretty short to finish, but I think they are still acceptable enough for me as long the games are not broken / unplayable due to terrible bugs. I keep hearing those complaints from Switch version and that's why I pick the PS4 / PS5 version for every games by Outright Games to avoid terrible downgraded on Switch version. I didn't even encountered with any problems from the games by Outright Games on PS4 version, I could finish the games very well.

@Anti-Matter
tbf I don't think either were especially bad. Like they function and they play fine, but I feel like they could be a lot more. I played them both on the Switch and I think they were fine
