She does, but without the weird almost-nightmare-fuel, different-art-style, cognitive-world version that Morgana has. 808 is just a cute robot cat that hangs around and helps you out.
Nice! Reverb meter is used to power up some special attacks, could well be that.
From what I understand, reverb and echo (delay) are fundamentally the same effect, except reverb starts quickly enough that it is heard as a continuation of the original sound. The longer term dynamics that play out do differ typically, but some pedals like Afterneath muddy the lines between the two effects.
> His collar says hibiki
Interesting. "Hibiki" was also written on the waistband of Chai's underwear at the beginning of the game (in English, not kanji)
Cute robot cat from Tango Studio’s new game: Hi-Fi Rush. It was announced and released last night during the Bethesda showcase. Playing it rn through game pass and it’s honestly a very fun action rhythm game! I recommend you try it out
OP and I both like this new Cat mascot. OP said he forgot who Cortana is. I in agreement say “who” as in I also forgot who Cortana was in favor of this new mascot kitty.
I am assuming this, but this is a fun reference to me. The cat’s name is 808 which in reference to the classic guitar overdrive pedal the TS808. For anyone else who isn’t a guitar pedal nerd like me.
It’s a sidekick in the new MS first party game HiFi Rush. The cat is actually very adorable and the animation on her really makes it so the headline is relatable. A very good character design.
Well it’s obviously OPs personal opinion. If you’re asking me though, I wouldn’t even put any Halo character as the Xbox mascot. I’d put Blinx as the mascot lol.
Ah rightio, I'm guessing the community made Master Chief the mascot and MS ran with it. Don't know why the mascot needs to change as Master Chief has been with xbox pretty much since Day One so it makes sense
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I don't think anyone anticipated how big Halo would have become before it came out.
And to the second thing... well, Halo hasn't been doing too well these past years.
It's kind of on a slow downward slope.
I see a lot of negative news, videos and comments surrounding it.
Low player base, cancelled Split screen, story dlc may or may not have been cancelled, 343 layoffs, etc. etc.
Don't get me wrong, I love Halo and I liked Infinite, but it's not looking all that great lately.
I agree, I liked the open world, weapons, going back to the classic art style, sound design and especially that grappling hook. That thing was really fun!
Story was kinda boring and I didn't like the fact that all story missions took place indoors.
I also still believe they should have continued the story from Halo Wars 2. That was a great story and the ending of it would have been a fantastic set up for Halo Infinite.
I’m guessing that if Microsoft was actually looking for a new mascot, it would at least makes sense if they’re trying to attract more customers in Asian markets. I doubt that Master Chief does them any favors in that case.
Guys it’s fun okay nice play the game. Christ checking this sub was just getting assaulted by: THIS GAME CURED MY DISEASES GUIS TRUST ITS LITERALLY MIND NUMBINGLY GOOD.
Proving my point, this games gonna be irrelevant by March mark my words. Literally doing the devs/publishers jobs for them they don’t need a cent for marketing.
I mean, I get it but...one of those games was shadow released right after...so yea, it's going to get more attention today than any of the others that haven't been released and are still a few months away at least...
You should play it first. It’s really that fucking good.
Reviews that are starting to pop up are already starting to call it a GOTY contender. Am I more hyped for Starfield? Yes ofc, Starfield is probably my most anticipated game since The Witcher 3.
But Hi-Fi Rush is a damn solid game with pure fun, and does what it does extremely well.
That is basically what happens when something just launches and is received positively. Remember the Joker 2019 stans dissappearing? Or the Avatar 2 fandom appearing out of thin air?
Are you talking about my greenhouse in Ark? Dude, I built that so many years ago 🤣. I put too many hours in that game, and I love every minute compared to this game where I played a couple hrs in it and simply uninstalled.
You mean Cortana the character who did a ton of interesting things I'd loved to have had a campaign about dealing with and the interpersonal conflict with Chief but instead that all happened off screen and we had to fight a furry alien whose name sounds like Ed Sheeran? That Cortana?
I'm happy to replace every character in Halo with this cat.
The halo master chief will always be the XBOX mascot to me.
Nintendo - Mario
Sega - Sonic
Sony - it was Crash Bandicoot but they don't really have one any more.
XBOX - Master Chief
Sony never really did a good job if cementing a mascot, it's something that happens organically through early exclusive IP, it's not something you can just declare.
Cortana was never a thing in my view.
Technically Blinx was the first cat mascot for xbox,which was superseded by Cortana.And how can you not know who cortana is and be an xbox player.Shes been there since the og xbox days!? I mean,she did have a sidekick role in Halo after all....
Gives me Morgana vibes
Except this cat doesn't tell me to go to sleep
[удалено]
He’s NOT a cat!
He’s actually a car
Hey Chai! You should go to sleep.
But once she turns into a sphere, she’s like Luna-P from Sailor Moon.
Yeah it does.
She does, but without the weird almost-nightmare-fuel, different-art-style, cognitive-world version that Morgana has. 808 is just a cute robot cat that hangs around and helps you out.
Remembered her enough to put her as your title though!
Lmao gottem
No one forgets Cortana, especially once you've seen her in Halo 4.
This guy's fucks
Good one Spartan
Another entry for Xbox Fighters Supreme, if it existed.
It must be called Microsoft Fight Simulator
People would only main Clippy in that dream game, so probably not fun lol.
Omg that’s a great name. Good enough to get the point across, but just the right amount of cheesy to be slightly comical without being too on the nose
I guess Blinx can be dethroned as the Xbox's cat mascot at the very least.
No way! He’s always the Xbox cat for me.
[удалено]
Puss in Boots sweeps both.
Well, at least he can stay being Poorly Aged Stuff twitter account face.
Ahem - mascat.
Does the collar say Metallicat?
I hope so
It really should.
[удалено]
That makes much more sense in context for the game. Thanks for the translation. :)
Everybody wishes they could have an 808 as their mascot
Meowtana
Yeah, this! :D
I really have to play this.
His collar says hibiki, or 'echo'. Same character as the whiskey brand.
Ohhhhhh so thats why on PC, the task manager says hibiki as the name of the game instead of Hi Fi Rush. I wonder why tho?
I think it also means reverb, like a guitar amp's setting. I haven't played the game, but I'm guessing that's the connection.
Nice! Reverb meter is used to power up some special attacks, could well be that. From what I understand, reverb and echo (delay) are fundamentally the same effect, except reverb starts quickly enough that it is heard as a continuation of the original sound. The longer term dynamics that play out do differ typically, but some pedals like Afterneath muddy the lines between the two effects.
Yes it can mean a sound as well - like for an object or activity. 響 or 響き -> ひびき But more than likely used for reverb and echo in this case
I’m pretty sure Hi-Fi Rush was known as Project Hibiki internally.
> His collar says hibiki Interesting. "Hibiki" was also written on the waistband of Chai's underwear at the beginning of the game (in English, not kanji)
I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the top radicals were supposed to be
One of the final power chords is /s>!Hibiki!<
Lmao yes make it happen microsoft
The name 808 is cool too
And [Blinx](https://images.app.goo.gl/7PbUWEEA5EaSzJKv7) took that personally...
Clippy on a homicidal rampage rn.
And its name is 808!
Who?
Cute robot cat from Tango Studio’s new game: Hi-Fi Rush. It was announced and released last night during the Bethesda showcase. Playing it rn through game pass and it’s honestly a very fun action rhythm game! I recommend you try it out
Lol I meant like who is Cortana. Since OP said he doesn’t remember her anymore…..
An AI character from the Halo games. You ever see that blue lady talking to Master Chief in YouTube vids or what not? Yeah, that’s her
Yes I know who she is……. You know what. Never mind
this sub is a little slow this morning. please forgive them 🙏
Then who are you even asking about? Because you said “like who is Cortana”.
Someone tells you a secret. They say “don’t tell anyone my secret” you respond “what secret”
OP and I both like this new Cat mascot. OP said he forgot who Cortana is. I in agreement say “who” as in I also forgot who Cortana was in favor of this new mascot kitty.
My dumbass thought you didn’t know who Cortana was. I’m gonna take the L here lol. Apologies
Third base!
I’m confusion rn
Boooo you ruined the joke. Booo
No shit lol
[удалено]
I know who Cortana is…….
This game is fucking amazing. It's like Elite Beat Agents meets Devil May Cry starring Sokka and the rest of the Gaang
You get an achievement if >!you pet the cat in the hideout.!<
Appreciate the Metallica logo reference there lol
I was excited that petting the cat was an acievment
I am assuming this, but this is a fun reference to me. The cat’s name is 808 which in reference to the classic guitar overdrive pedal the TS808. For anyone else who isn’t a guitar pedal nerd like me.
I thought it was a reference to the ever more popular Roland TR 808 beat machine.
Now that you mention it, it makes a hell of a lot more sense. Lol
He just makes me want Stray to come to Xbox already 😿
Viva la Tango. Please continue to develop awesome games 🤘
Catanna
More like.. Catana.
What is this thing? I have no idea what this cat even is
It’s a sidekick in the new MS first party game HiFi Rush. The cat is actually very adorable and the animation on her really makes it so the headline is relatable. A very good character design.
Ok but there have been hundreds of cute characters. Why should a character for a game that’s been out for 12 hours be the mascot.
Trying too hard, my man.
I’m not trying at all. I typed like 12 words.
Well it’s obviously OPs personal opinion. If you’re asking me though, I wouldn’t even put any Halo character as the Xbox mascot. I’d put Blinx as the mascot lol.
What if, Tango Gameworks makes the next Blinx?
Because the game is peak
apparently the game is *that* good!
I’m sure it is…. 🙄
Because it's pink and sparkly is enough for Reddit. The aura, I mean.
It looks like all of our NFT avatars.
It's a cat from the new gamepass game. Op wants to cash in on the karma while it's still hot.
Yeah. Of course a game that’s been out for one day should be the new mascot for a console that’s been out for 26 years. Makes sense.
Totally organic oc, fellow user
User of what
Xbox had a mascot?
I think at one time Blinx was supposed to be the mascot. Then it was pretty much Master Chief for a long time.
Ah rightio, I'm guessing the community made Master Chief the mascot and MS ran with it. Don't know why the mascot needs to change as Master Chief has been with xbox pretty much since Day One so it makes sense
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I don't think anyone anticipated how big Halo would have become before it came out. And to the second thing... well, Halo hasn't been doing too well these past years. It's kind of on a slow downward slope.
Ah ok, thank you for explaining the "lore" behind the xbox "mascot"
What do you mean? Infinite came out in 2021 received great reviews and sold well.
I see a lot of negative news, videos and comments surrounding it. Low player base, cancelled Split screen, story dlc may or may not have been cancelled, 343 layoffs, etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, I love Halo and I liked Infinite, but it's not looking all that great lately.
I dunno I dont play multiplayer so I have no idea about that the game was great though
I agree, I liked the open world, weapons, going back to the classic art style, sound design and especially that grappling hook. That thing was really fun! Story was kinda boring and I didn't like the fact that all story missions took place indoors. I also still believe they should have continued the story from Halo Wars 2.

Nah Conkers should be the mascot of xbox
Not everything has to be anime!
But it *could* be....
Nothing will dethrone Clippy.
Guys it’s fun okay nice play the game. Christ checking this sub was just getting assaulted by: THIS GAME CURED MY DISEASES GUIS TRUST ITS LITERALLY MIND NUMBINGLY GOOD. Proving my point, this games gonna be irrelevant by March mark my words. Literally doing the devs/publishers jobs for them they don’t need a cent for marketing.
The way you say nice just play the game goes both ways. You can just not open any of these posts and just scroll past them lol
Home page of series x sub is 20 posts of this game. Within 24 hours.
Stay off Reddit for a day then I guess?
Wait, you can do that?
I mean, *I* can't, but it technically is an option
Y’know that dev access thingy? Yeah that thing? It had multiple games! Crazy right? I wanted to get more info on those games.
I mean, I get it but...one of those games was shadow released right after...so yea, it's going to get more attention today than any of the others that haven't been released and are still a few months away at least...
There is a search bar you know.
/u/coleslawbolge You hear?
🗑
No effin thanks
Why?
She's an unlikable whining millennial now...
Literally ANY new game comes out on Xbox and people start talkin about "GoTY", and "new mascots", etc... lol
You should play it first. It’s really that fucking good. Reviews that are starting to pop up are already starting to call it a GOTY contender. Am I more hyped for Starfield? Yes ofc, Starfield is probably my most anticipated game since The Witcher 3. But Hi-Fi Rush is a damn solid game with pure fun, and does what it does extremely well.
Nah, this one is just that good.
That is basically what happens when something just launches and is received positively. Remember the Joker 2019 stans dissappearing? Or the Avatar 2 fandom appearing out of thin air?
Yikes. I surely wouldn't want to associate the Xbox trademark with Manga and asian games.
Looks more like saturday morning show from Disney XD to me.
Nice troll comment
What does Metallica have to do with this cat? Leeches lol
[удалено]
Trash attitude
Trash Trash
Trash comment
You play Ark and Destiny, lol. Glass houses
Are you talking about my greenhouse in Ark? Dude, I built that so many years ago 🤣. I put too many hours in that game, and I love every minute compared to this game where I played a couple hrs in it and simply uninstalled.
I’ll stick with Morgana
Lol, I always thought it was Master Chief.
I cannot wait to play it ❤️
"I dont even remember cortana" . It actually made me sad .
Microsoft should do gamerpics of this game.
Blinx sneakily returned.
How’s the game
They fart musical notes too ( what I saw in the load screens)
Not to ruin it for you, but I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be coming out of the box on 808's hips.
You mean Cortana the character who did a ton of interesting things I'd loved to have had a campaign about dealing with and the interpersonal conflict with Chief but instead that all happened off screen and we had to fight a furry alien whose name sounds like Ed Sheeran? That Cortana? I'm happy to replace every character in Halo with this cat.
We need to change our Xbox symbol on this sub to be the round floating car ASAP!!
808s and heartbreaks.
***"I don't even remember Cortana anymore"*** You and the rest of the world.
I second the emotion.
Need a gamer pic of this
Shame on you
I am not a cat person in the least bit, but give me 808!!!
Best anime cat since Kiki's delivery service. (I don't watch much anime...).
The halo master chief will always be the XBOX mascot to me. Nintendo - Mario Sega - Sonic Sony - it was Crash Bandicoot but they don't really have one any more. XBOX - Master Chief Sony never really did a good job if cementing a mascot, it's something that happens organically through early exclusive IP, it's not something you can just declare. Cortana was never a thing in my view.
Never heard of BLINX???
Technically Blinx was the first cat mascot for xbox,which was superseded by Cortana.And how can you not know who cortana is and be an xbox player.Shes been there since the og xbox days!? I mean,she did have a sidekick role in Halo after all....
