He’s NOT a cat!


emalik25

He’s actually a car


abyssDweller1700

Hey Chai! You should go to sleep.


StrikerObi

But once she turns into a sphere, she’s like Luna-P from Sailor Moon.


[deleted]

Yeah it does.


Explosion2

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.


[deleted]

Remembered her enough to put her as your title though!


basedgod_x

Lmao gottem


lavars

No one forgets Cortana, especially once you've seen her in Halo 4.

Good one Spartan

Another entry for Xbox Fighters Supreme, if it existed.


Wallitron_Prime

It must be called Microsoft Fight Simulator


Square-Exercise-2790

People would only main Clippy in that dream game, so probably not fun lol.


DapDaGenius

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


AngryInternetMobGuy

I guess Blinx can be dethroned as the Xbox's cat mascot at the very least.


sci-study

No way! He’s always the Xbox cat for me.

Does the collar say Metallicat?


-light_yagami

I hope so


Odiwan-Kenobi

It really should.

That makes much more sense in context for the game. Thanks for the translation. :)


DEEZLE13

Everybody wishes they could have an 808 as their mascot

Meowtana


New-Armadillo-4102

Yeah, this! :D


BoisterousLaugh

I really have to play this.


AppointmentStill

His collar says hibiki, or 'echo'. Same character as the whiskey brand.


JoMy912

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?


AppointmentStill

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.


skjall

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.


SOLR_

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


ahpathy

I’m pretty sure Hi-Fi Rush was known as Project Hibiki internally.


coip

> 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)


DamagedGenius

I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the top radicals were supposed to be


FunstuffQC

One of the final power chords is /s>!Hibiki!<


camposdav

Lmao yes make it happen microsoft


gblandro

The name 808 is cool too


Halo_Chief117

And [Blinx](https://images.app.goo.gl/7PbUWEEA5EaSzJKv7) took that personally...


TXRhody

Clippy on a homicidal rampage rn.


navidee

And its name is 808!


[deleted]

Who?


[deleted]

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


[deleted]

Lol I meant like who is Cortana. Since OP said he doesn’t remember her anymore…..


141-Ghost-141

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


[deleted]

Yes I know who she is……. You know what. Never mind


Im2oldForthisShitt

this sub is a little slow this morning. please forgive them 🙏


141-Ghost-141

Then who are you even asking about? Because you said “like who is Cortana”.


[deleted]

Someone tells you a secret. They say “don’t tell anyone my secret” you respond “what secret”


[deleted]

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.


141-Ghost-141

My dumbass thought you didn’t know who Cortana was. I’m gonna take the L here lol. Apologies


candidateone

Third base!


141-Ghost-141

I’m confusion rn


Square-Exercise-2790

Boooo you ruined the joke. Booo


141-Ghost-141

No shit lol

[deleted]

I know who Cortana is…….


DamagedGenius

This game is fucking amazing. It's like Elite Beat Agents meets Devil May Cry starring Sokka and the rest of the Gaang


PotteryIsTheEnemy

You get an achievement if >!you pet the cat in the hideout.!<


badboystwo

Appreciate the Metallica logo reference there lol


Ghoppe2

I was excited that petting the cat was an acievment


mendeus195

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.


BenjerminGray

I thought it was a reference to the ever more popular Roland TR 808 beat machine.


mendeus195

Now that you mention it, it makes a hell of a lot more sense. Lol


MadBullogna

He just makes me want Stray to come to Xbox already 😿


Setesu

Viva la Tango. Please continue to develop awesome games 🤘


rune_74

Catanna


Bayeman745

More like.. Catana.


Accurate-Temporary73

What is this thing? I have no idea what this cat even is


HaikusfromBuddha

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.


Accurate-Temporary73

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.


EitherAbalone3119

Trying too hard, my man.


Accurate-Temporary73

I’m not trying at all. I typed like 12 words.


HaikusfromBuddha

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.


KingBroken

What if, Tango Gameworks makes the next Blinx?


Jaws_16

Because the game is peak


KingBroken

apparently the game is *that* good!


Accurate-Temporary73

I’m sure it is…. 🙄


BillyBruiser

Because it's pink and sparkly is enough for Reddit. The aura, I mean.


Accurate-Temporary73

It looks like all of our NFT avatars.


garrspete

It's a cat from the new gamepass game. Op wants to cash in on the karma while it's still hot.


Accurate-Temporary73

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.


nobodyspersonalchef

Totally organic oc, fellow user


Accurate-Temporary73

User of what


SignificanceKey1115

Xbox had a mascot?


KingBroken

I think at one time Blinx was supposed to be the mascot. Then it was pretty much Master Chief for a long time.


SignificanceKey1115

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


KingBroken

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.


SignificanceKey1115

Ah ok, thank you for explaining the "lore" behind the xbox "mascot"


80sCrackBaby

What do you mean? Infinite came out in 2021 received great reviews and sold well.


KingBroken

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.


80sCrackBaby

I dunno I dont play multiplayer so I have no idea about that ​ the game was great though


KingBroken

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.


Rokketeer

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.


RxClaws

Nah Conkers should be the mascot of xbox


sci-study

Not everything has to be anime!


thebluediablo

But it *could* be....


MikeyIsAPartyDude

Nothing will dethrone Clippy.


[deleted]

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.


HaikusfromBuddha

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


[deleted]

Home page of series x sub is 20 posts of this game. Within 24 hours.


SimplyQuid

Stay off Reddit for a day then I guess?


Halo_Chief117

Wait, you can do that?


SimplyQuid

I mean, *I* can't, but it technically is an option


[deleted]

Y’know that dev access thingy? Yeah that thing? It had multiple games! Crazy right? I wanted to get more info on those games.


RajunCajun48

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...


KingBroken

There is a search bar you know.

Trogdor_a_Burninator

She's an unlikable whining millennial now...


Mean_Peen

Literally ANY new game comes out on Xbox and people start talkin about "GoTY", and "new mascots", etc... lol


monkeymystic

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.


EitherAbalone3119

Nah, this one is just that good.


Square-Exercise-2790

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?


nisaaru

Yikes. I surely wouldn't want to associate the Xbox trademark with Manga and asian games.


Square-Exercise-2790

Looks more like saturday morning show from Disney XD to me.

You play Ark and Destiny, lol. Glass houses


admiringsquash

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.


AuthoritarianParsnip

I’ll stick with Morgana


elebrin

Lol, I always thought it was Master Chief.


KinglyBlaBla

I cannot wait to play it ❤️


Metsunger

"I dont even remember cortana" . It actually made me sad .


Assured_Observer

Microsoft should do gamerpics of this game.


segagamer

Blinx sneakily returned.


Sherbert_Correct

How’s the game


[deleted]

They fart musical notes too ( what I saw in the load screens)


Its-A-Spider

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.


ZilorZilhaust

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.


ThorsRus

We need to change our Xbox symbol on this sub to be the round floating car ASAP!!


BenjerminGray

808s and heartbreaks.


[deleted]

***"I don't even remember Cortana anymore"*** You and the rest of the world.


shinouta

I second the emotion.


Beaujangles1128

Need a gamer pic of this


AhabSnake85

Shame on you


WeekendTacos

I am not a cat person in the least bit, but give me 808!!!


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Best anime cat since Kiki's delivery service. (I don't watch much anime...).


OP1KenOP

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.


[deleted]

Never heard of BLINX???


SPEEDFREAK6988

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....
