WEBVTT 1 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:25.920 Hey, everybody, it's Friday, and I'm not gonna put the music on 2 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.600 the YouTube version. Sorry everybody. I just don't have that ready to go, 3 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.320 But Sean will do with the podcast first. I mean, I could 4 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.119 probably get it going if we really wanted to, but I'm just not gonna 5 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.240 happen. But if we all just did it right now, yeah, going 6 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:56.240 there sounded like a centerfold for a second. This is BombCast Revengeance Episode eight 7 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.719 thirty five. There's been eight hundred and thirty four BombCast revenge is before that. 8 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.599 We did it, and this week we got plenty to talk about. 9 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.200 We're gonna do our most anticipated game, anticipating games left for the rest of 10 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.239 this year. Last week we did, Hey, our favorite games of the 11 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.040 year so far. So we figured, let's look at what's left. There's 12 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.599 not a ton, but we found some that we'll talk about here in a 13 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.760 minute. We'll talk about games, but first we just got that in streamed 14 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.840 Fallout. That was a lot of fun for upf Mike. You got to 15 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.879 miss around some mods. Tell me for shoot, it was like, did 16 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.439 it peak your interest at all? For mods? In the real way? 17 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.920 It was fun to do that. But no, I'm still very much with 18 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.719 these bethesta games, Like I know for some people that is like the thing 19 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.840 I remember, like a star Fields, like, well we'll wait for them, 20 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.359 MAZI for mods, it's like, I don't know, I don't really 21 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.000 care about any of these mods, even when I'm just like like we're gonna 22 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.319 make a texture slightly better and I don't care, and know it's like real 23 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.640 goofy, like like the Macho Man thing was really funny. I get almost 24 00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.239 the same effect watching a YouTube video of like the Mato Man dragon right all 25 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.400 that in Scarim in a video, and that was good for me. I 26 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.680 didn't need to go install the mod and then like have it happened to me 27 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.919 for real? Yes, I know exactly what you mean. And and those 28 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.439 like those joke mods, they're funny the first couple of times and then it's 29 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.919 like, well, I'm just playing the game now. There are mods though 30 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:23.159 that are a completely different story. And yeah, like when because Starfield didn't 31 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:28.280 have DLSS, so the one that like turned f SR into DLSS, like 32 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.360 that's that's nothing I'll use. Well that was star Food. It would be 33 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.840 mods or like that, and like a mod to add a map into Yeah, 34 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.080 for Fallout four in skym it's like, we're gonna do fun stuff for 35 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.199 stuff. It's like, how about some yeah, like features that make it 36 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:50.240 game? What if it was fun? I mean that is the video I 37 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.159 just naked. Jake on YouTube did that like great breakdown of Red Dead Redemption 38 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.599 two, and then he just went back to it recently and he's like, 39 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.680 uh, you know, I've reconsidered it, and mostly because it came out 40 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.080 a piece seeing it, I installed a bunch of mods, and I'm like, 41 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.479 Okay, I bet if I installed a bunch of mods into Red Dead 42 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.000 Redemption too, I can have a pretty good time with what they made there. 43 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:08.680 And that's that is the kind of game where I am, so I'll 44 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.520 keep doing mind. I can see that because like that game more so than 45 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.599 even like betas the game, it is kind of hard to veer off from 46 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.599 that story pass sometimes if you kind of mod read there Redection two to be 47 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:25.400 more of this like pure open world open just you are a cowboy going around. 48 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.520 The one that really piqued my interest there is exactly that, like where 49 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.719 it's the bank robberies work the way you expect them to instead of being like 50 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.520 scripted sequises. No, it's like, now I can just go to my 51 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.840 my own emergent bank robbery. I'm like, okay, yes, I would 52 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.439 install that and I would have a very good time with that. So yeah, 53 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.000 I don't know. You guys have anything else going on this week? 54 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.960 How's everyone doing? I am like beat, I'm dead tired. Yeah, 55 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.400 not getting enough? What did we ready for the weekend? I can't remember 56 00:03:54.520 --> 00:04:00.280 the past three days though, define more Gamma ever upload the other half of 57 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.719 that? When we did our PlayStation I did, don't worry, I got 58 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.319 you, Yeah, I thought, I'm not gonna remember to build my time 59 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:14.319 for if I don't see a YouTube video, don't worry a video for some 60 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.160 reason, Mike, who can say, yeah, yeah, I down. 61 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.120 I'd worked a lot this week. I did. I mean, you know, 62 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.800 it's this kind of work and like, you know, normal job work, 63 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.120 so it's not like I'm, you know, in the steel mill or 64 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.279 something, but still is a lot of work. I'm a little mentally drained. 65 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.360 I I kind of want to watch some TV shows and that's fucked up 66 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:38.759 for me. I never do. But like X Men ninety seven looks amazing, 67 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.120 and people like the Fall Show, and you know, it's like there's 68 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.000 a time of life where I did really like fall Out and it'd be kind 69 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.360 of fun to get back into that. So maybe I'll do x Men first, 70 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.040 because that's you know, thirty minute episodes or it's not all Out. 71 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.560 I'll catch up on that. Yeah, maybe I'll check out Fallout. Who 72 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.240 knows. Yeah, I'm I'm kind of into I think I'm gonna check out 73 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.600 Fallout camping and people are getting excited about it. I mean honestly, just 74 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.240 seeing you play, I'm like, oh, I like Fallout enough, and 75 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.800 I bet that show will we just amplify that. Yeah, I do kind 76 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.879 of want to play fall up, not not for up. What I really 77 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.759 what maybe is to watch Jeff play New Vegas. Finally New Vegas. That's 78 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.360 the one I want to. No, I never played it. I started 79 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.839 it a couple of times, and I haven't really played it. That's why 80 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:27.879 he likes fall Out four. I'm always missing. I'm joking. I do 81 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.800 kind of want to like go back to us Fall seventy six and see what 82 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.000 that's like now. I haven't played it since it was new and bad. 83 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:42.199 Yeah, I think there's people put scenes in there. Yeah, crazy God 84 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.600 that was that was a whole update was it's like there's people, people, 85 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.000 people in the game because every other question you got from a computer. Yeah, 86 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.879 yeah, we were. We were in that meeting earlier this week where 87 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.399 we're like figuring out stuff, and it's like the reason we did this fall 88 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.279 Out streams like a little peg behind the curtain here is like, hey, 89 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.279 you know, we're trying to see if we do these big events where everyone 90 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.480 was working together kind of doing something similar for when there are big things coming 91 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.319 out. So the fall Out TV show is here, let's do this as 92 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.439 a test. It's like, yeah, well, we'll see how it works, 93 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.199 but like we'll do something with that. Maybe we should play fall Out 94 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.920 seventy six. And at that time, it was like is everyone going to 95 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.600 be around for that? That would be something fun to do, so instead 96 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.600 we did the mod thing. But hey, next week people are still gonna 97 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.120 care about Fallout. I would like to play show Out seventy six, So 98 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.360 maybe we could do that on the website next week. That'll be cool. 99 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.199 Yeah, I think that'd be very cool. Although I wonder is that the 100 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.800 kind of game where we can dip in for an hour and a half to 101 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.319 two hours and get something out of it or definitely not. I recall even 102 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.720 back then that the intro stuff wasn't too bad. Actually, like you kind 103 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.920 of got out in the world relatively click. I might be misremembering, and 104 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.560 again, very different game now, So who knows how much other shit that 105 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.240 it throws at you at this point. Maybe we just have to like do 106 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.079 a tutorial before the stream or some Yeah. Yeah, I just think maybe 107 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.279 it seems like the kind of game that would be fun to dip in on 108 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.839 my Steam deck to like get started, and then we get on the PC 109 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.279 and play together. That could be cool. Yeah, all right, you 110 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.319 know what, let's talk about video games. The Eclipse? Sorry was this 111 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:10.160 week? That's crazy? Oh yeah, but oh I was like, I 112 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.600 mean last weekend. No, that's what that was during a weekday. That 113 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:17.480 was Monday. That was Monday, Yeah, this Monday. Yeah. What 114 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.040 did you all do for the Eclipse? Did you? Did you guys traveling? 115 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.920 Mike? I know you traveled into those zone of fatality. Yeah. 116 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.199 I just had to like drive like thirty minutes to get into totality. So 117 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.319 I did that with my brothers and their family. So we went to like 118 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.079 a place there was an old car factory here that's been shipped down for a 119 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.040 while. There's like something there, but basically a big empty parking lot, 120 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.759 and the local university's astronomy department was there kind of like they had some telescopes 121 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.240 and they were talking about what's going on. So it was neat because you 122 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:46.439 know, there were like a lot of people, but we also had our 123 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.839 own space. The kids were there and they were, you know, relatively 124 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.279 into it. There were definitely stretches where they got bored, but like once 125 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.560 totality happened, everybody was just completely stunned. It was so worth to like 126 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.720 get actually in totality. That was stark. That was dramatic. Yep, 127 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.759 I was mes marius by it for sure. All right. I played a 128 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:18.000 game Tales of Kenzera Zau. Oh yeah, the preview embargo is up, 129 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.399 and I'll just kind of talk about like my initial reaction to it, which 130 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.680 is maybe Jen wasn't lying. It feels really good and sometimes I'm like, 131 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.680 okay, so it has the things you expect from a metroid Vana movement, 132 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.080 like library where you can pull from Okay, I could do the double jump 133 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.240 and I have a dash, and I think the double jump feels pretty good. 134 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.240 I think the dash might actually feel better than the dash in Prince of 135 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.919 Persia of the Lost Ground, which surprised So it's like, okay, so 136 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.639 they have like some good juice in the way you move around in this game. 137 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.960 But think, I'm imagine probably you know, early on, I'm not 138 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.600 sure if it's gonna get more complex than this or sort of challenge me more. 139 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.440 I don't think the combat's gonna be quite as good as it was in 140 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.799 Lost Crowns, but it's definitely in that zone of it being good enough. 141 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.039 And I think having the option of being able to switch between the masks of 142 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.320 so people don't know it is a metro advan yet it does look a lot 143 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:16.320 like The Lost Crown but it has both melee and and you know a gun 144 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.639 that you can shoot by switching these masks, and the gun's like, you 145 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.879 know, a little p shooter and that feels pretty cool. And then you 146 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.480 could switch over this other mask. We can get into someone's ass and just 147 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.799 like actually tear them up with the heavy and the light attack like a lot 148 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.799 of combat games. And I'm like, I'm having a good time when I'm 149 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.879 doing that stuff. But really it is all about getting around this world, 150 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.080 exploring seeing finding puzzles, being like, Okay, I'm gonna be able to 151 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.480 solve that eventually, like keeping that in the back of the head and then 152 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.200 exploring some more, just like a good Metroidvan yet and I'm pretty impressed by 153 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:52.519 it. I think the afro futurism style doesn't feel like it is like too 154 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.080 rote at this point where it's like, oh, it's just pulling from everything 155 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.440 everything else that's done that before. It's like, no, it's got its 156 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.279 own way of approaching that. And at the same time does have like, 157 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.879 oh, there's some cool purple lighting like I imagine in Black Panther or whatever, 158 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.000 and I'm I'm down with that. I'm enjoying that quite a bit. 159 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.399 And then I'm playing with I'm not gonna be able to remember the language, 160 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.639 but I'm playing in the in the African language, and then I hear I 161 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.679 read the English subtitles, and that's pretty cool. It's setting a tone as 162 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.720 well, and I'm just, yeah, I think they've done a very good 163 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.240 job here for especially a game that I was like, I kind of came 164 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.440 out of nowhere. Yeah, I've seen it in a couple of things now, 165 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.200 but I could see why EA was like, hey, this is this 166 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.240 would be a good fit for EA originals. It does feel like it's of 167 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.759 that quality, something like something else. I don't think it's Swahili. That's 168 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.759 right. If it was with Swahili, I would have remembered it, but 169 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.879 I don't think it is. I could check it. I could. I'm 170 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.080 serious to check it out. I mean, I'm not surprised if here that 171 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.279 it's combat. It's not as good as Lost Crown. I don't think any 172 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.240 two D game has combat as good as the Lost Crown. The fact, 173 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.519 which is why I'm trying to be like, it's not that good, as 174 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.399 it's not as good as that, and yet it's also still very fun, 175 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.240 very engaging, and I'm enjoying it. There's also the estion of like, 176 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.840 is the combat going to be different because you have ranged options, which is 177 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.519 deemphasized in Prince of Perch. I would say, yes, yeah, you 178 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.600 have like your little bone arrow, but it's not much so yeah, absolutely, 179 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.159 like if you kind of mix it up a bit, that'll work fine. 180 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.600 And the fact that to hear that, like the platforming, which is 181 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.080 another important component, does feel good. That's something it is silly perstem okay. 182 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.080 I didn't. It wasn't spelled the way you're spelling it our Wolves, 183 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.840 So that's why I didn't think it was Swahili. Okay, cool, Yeah, 184 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.240 it's it is a game that I think is probably going to be right 185 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.000 there in that pantheon of cool modern Metroad Venya games, just based on what 186 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.480 I played so far, and that is very exciting the fact that we're like 187 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.360 just kind of getting all these back to back now, I'm just I'll be 188 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.679 interested to see how they sort of get across the story if that can maintain 189 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.240 a certain level of engagement from me throughout, which is not a guarantee. 190 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.919 It's also not sort of a deal breaker if it doesn't, but you know, 191 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.919 we'll see. The way that they are delivering it so far is we're 192 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.000 stopping the game, We're having the two little Jpex come out and talk to 193 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.559 one another, and like, that's that's fine to a certain extent. I 194 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.759 hope there's not too much of that. I like, you know, I 195 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.759 think the peak of storytelling for me in this genre is still Metroid Dread, 196 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.559 where it's like, yeah, told environmentally, and then Samus Aaron has one 197 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.840 line of dialogue that just rips so hard and then two lines technically but yeah, 198 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.320 right, two lines, yes, and then and then she becomes a 199 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.480 Metroid spoiler. Sorry, I can't help christ that's crazy. It doesn't it 200 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.039 doesn't have to. It's just like excited. Yeah, if you have it, 201 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.080 if you haven't played it by now you have, that's that's your own 202 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.120 fault for the point. Because I like it. I've tried to tell people 203 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.279 that it's so exciting and hearing the phrase she becomes a metroid, what does 204 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.720 that mean? It's still delivered because if you played the last Metro game before 205 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.080 this, you know that she is already. I'm that's right, so exactly. 206 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.759 Yes, ah, I like I think Metroid Vane is. And now 207 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.559 I'm thinking about like, yeah, because that is one thing. Lost Crown 208 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.720 to storytelling I think was fine for me, but like dread or even games 209 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.200 that do have more story like the Ori games are hollow night, I think 210 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.919 handle that stuff really well. Yeah, Lost Crown was mostly serviceable in that 211 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.720 regard. Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to Zoo though. I like I 212 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.720 mentioned our momcast before I played that demo, which, by the way, 213 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.240 that demo is still available over on Steam. I don't know if it would 214 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.759 be anywhere else. I haven't checked, but I played during next Fest and 215 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.159 neal they just kept up after that, and so you'll look for it for 216 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:39.559 yourself. I think movement wise, I I kind of like better in Prince 217 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.279 of Pergia because it feels a little more fluid in how the movement goes. 218 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.000 Prince of Perga feels a little stop and go. To me, it always 219 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.480 feels very good, but does feel like you sometimes have to stop to use 220 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.720 the ability right or to you like traverse something. But I think this just 221 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.679 felt a little more. It feels very Metroid Dread in the little I played 222 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:05.279 of it. Rub So yeah, it's also coming to PlayStation Plus day one. 223 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.720 Oh okay, nice. I don't know what tier it is, but 224 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.159 I think it is just the base tier. I think it's like there's three 225 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.960 and you never know if a game is launchings which one you need. It's 226 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.519 always very weird. But yeah, that come out end of the month. 227 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.480 I'm looking forward to that one. Yeah, and I'll be playing more of 228 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.720 it, and once we could talk about it in a larger capacity and I've 229 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.279 played a lot more, we'll revisit that on a BombCast for sure. I 230 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.200 think I think Dan's playing it as well. I'll see we can get a 231 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.879 couple more codes for everybody. Several else can jump in if they want. 232 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.159 Anyone else playing anything well. In a similar vein, I did play The 233 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.919 Rogue Prince of Persia, the new Rogue like take on the series. I 234 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.159 got to play kind of an early preview from from movie soft tier. I 235 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.559 got to play for about an hour and it's it's it is very funny because 236 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.200 this is not connected to the Lost run in any way, but it is 237 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:05.159 still like a two D game with a lot of emphasis on combat and platforming. 238 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.240 So and it still feels good. It still feels really good, but 239 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.480 it is a bit different, you know. You know, you can get 240 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.600 different weapons, right, so you start off with I think the Daggers, 241 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.720 but you could get a saber or even a big axe and they all sort 242 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.759 of work differently. And then there's all the roguelike stuff where like, yeah, 243 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:24.840 like the law is gonna be different. You still can find like challenge 244 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:30.519 rooms where you have very bespoke platforming challenges that feel really good. The best 245 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.559 thing is the way that they incorporate wall running into this, whereas in Lost 246 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.080 Crown the wall running was basically just an air dash here you actually do run 247 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.240 on a wall if it is in the background, and usually there is a 248 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:45.440 wall in the background, but it's not just a horizontal thing. You could 249 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.840 run up at vertically for a bit or diagonally, so it's very versatile how 250 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.639 you can move around that and when you are sort of chained together like a 251 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:58.759 double jump into a wall, run into you know, a wall jump, 252 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.399 and all this other stuff, it feel is very nice. So yeah, 253 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.320 I think it's incredibly promising already from what I played. I think it might 254 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.519 have a similar like story thing where it's like, yeah, there's some story 255 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.440 here. It's not the same story, it's not the things up, but 256 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.440 it is like you know, it's like Jeff said, the JPEG's talking at 257 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.000 each other kind of thing again, which whatever. That's so that's fine. 258 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.240 I think the art style is like gonna be divisive. I like it. 259 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:29.600 I love it. I think it looks yeah, it's they that unshaded kind 260 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:37.120 of uh right, which I think throws some people off. I'm it's yeah, 261 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.120 I think that. I think that people mostly are down with that. 262 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.840 I think it's it is the like you said, the Dan record thing of 263 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.559 the animation. People until they play it and have their hands on it, 264 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.960 are like, why is this rotoscoping look so like smooth or whatever? And 265 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.639 they do take the new grounds and it's like, uh, that is that's 266 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.679 part of the Prince of personal legacy. So I think that for me, 267 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:56.960 it pops off in a way that is very positive, right, Like, 268 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.480 to me, it immediately read as, oh, this is an old like 269 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.400 the original, like Prince of Persia's which very much had that rotoscope looked at 270 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:10.240 all those cinematic platformers did. Yeah. I actually I think I think that 271 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.720 look is very cool too, because then it does make it feel distinct from 272 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:18.000 The Lost Crown, whereas the Lost Crown is very much Ubisoft making a modern 273 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.319 game and moren take on that formula. This, like you said, feels 274 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:22.559 like a homage. I think there's a space for both of them as a 275 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.119 result. I think that's very cool right. Also, I want to say 276 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.559 I did end up watching the Triple I initiative thing that they did afterwards, 277 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.079 wen't have the time to watch it here on the site, but some cool 278 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.400 announcements in there, like I saw what one that people have talked about before. 279 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.880 But ges Staltz demon cinders just like a pixel or probably Metroid venue thing 280 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:47.640 that looks cool. But the revealed trailer for this for the Rogue Prince of 281 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:52.119 Persia, I thought was very cool. I usually I usually don't like when 282 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.319 there's a very like animated trailer that often looks like it has kind of nothing 283 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.480 to do with the game. But the fact that it was in the art 284 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.279 style of the and then seamlessly transitioned into a game play that was so sick. 285 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:10.000 Yeah, I'm I didn't know in screenshots if I would like this art 286 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:14.160 style, but in motion I think it looks very nice. Yeah, I'm 287 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:18.640 right there with you, and then anyone else have any time for anything else? 288 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.440 New Hell Divers. Yeah, I won't dwell on this one too much. 289 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.839 But we played Hell Divers, and I played Hell Divers. Actually I 290 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.440 don't know if Nikki did for the first time, but I played for the 291 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.880 first time. I literally I played the tutorial and then I did one mission 292 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.200 by myself, so like this when we did the stream this week, that 293 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.559 was the first time i'd like played the game for real. All right, 294 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.359 cool? So yeah, you can speak to those two. Yeah, how'd 295 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:47.559 you find it? Okay? Yeah, it was really fun. So much 296 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.599 fun. Yeah, to make sure that I was like ready for the stream 297 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:53.079 and got over any tutorial stuff or anything. I uh, that was my 298 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.400 game night with the boys this week was you know, we did our usual 299 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.200 tech in session, but then we just played Hell Divers too until you know 300 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.799 it's time to log off, and we did the tutorial together. We were 301 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.839 just it was instantly the real quick that that involved you having to be like 302 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.319 spend some money on this game, right, They had to like go buy 303 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.319 the game. Yeah, it was on sale right now, so it was 304 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.119 even more reasonable. It was like thirty bucks. So they were like that's 305 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:18.920 great. Yeah, And I mentioned one have on bought directly on Steam because 306 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.440 he was like, all right, well if we spend like an hour and 307 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:22.920 a half, I am in the refund window if I want to, and 308 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.000 he didn't because we had such such a fun time and that one that's very 309 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.920 cool. Yeah. So starting out though, like we were just on Discord 310 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:36.680 call doing the tutorial and everyone's just cracking up at the opening the tutorial where 311 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.880 it's just like, oh yeah, this is very like super Troopers or whatever, 312 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.519 just very over the top like military stuff. It's very funny. Then 313 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:48.240 when we got in It was nice going back to a co op shooter like 314 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:53.519 this and just going out accomplishing missions together and having silly moments happen. This 315 00:19:53.880 --> 00:20:00.240 happened in our stream as well here on the site. But I I just 316 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.799 saw this thing on the ground, like is that mine? As my friend 317 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.480 walks right into it and goes flying. Though those types of moments are so 318 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.920 good in this game. I low what happens. It's just like in the 319 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.559 first one I brought up when like Mike got squished by something dropping. You 320 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:21.039 know that thatcount of stuff still happens despite the different play style and camera angle 321 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:23.119 and everything. All that emergence stuff is still in there. I think it's 322 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.640 just a very fun time. Yeah. I also think it like it does 323 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:38.680 so much aesthetically. Yes, like the parody like nationalistic jinguistic stuff that it 324 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:45.480 does, yes, is good. But I think it plays the presentation of 325 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:52.440 it so seriously and so well that like when you are on the planet and 326 00:20:52.480 --> 00:21:00.680 then they you are like actively in combat with these things, it feels like 327 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.640 atmospherically, it feels correct, it feels good right like the The Red and 328 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.200 I feel like you all have talked about this before, but like the red 329 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.519 lasers that are firing across the screen and the fog that happens on the Automaton 330 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:18.920 planets. It feels very different and very uh synthetic compared to like the greens 331 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.160 and the browns that take place on like all of the bug planets and like 332 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:29.680 there, it does feel distinct and different, even though the thing that you 333 00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.720 were fundamentally doing is still holding right trigger and pressing on the deep head. 334 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:37.680 Sometimes it's good, like I think it's really good. I also like this 335 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.839 was the first game where I felt like the the because I was playing on 336 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:48.160 PS five where I felt like the dual sense was actually doing something interesting since 337 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:55.799 I played Astro's playroom and that was nice to feel like justified. So I 338 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:57.880 was playing on PC lin Xbox control or what what does the dual sounds to 339 00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:02.440 do? Over? It's got, it's got the it's got the trigger stuff, 340 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.480 which I think is actually cool, Like I like the adaptive trigger, 341 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:12.160 so yeah, let's go. Yeah, I think I think most people it's 342 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:18.079 mostly mean. Who's the hater with my arthurritic hands? And don't sure? 343 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:19.680 Yeah, I don't think of it, don't don't like them, I just 344 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.400 don't think. I don't know, they don't work in most games, or 345 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.960 they don't. It doesn't make a difference. That's that's the thing, Like, 346 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.440 it doesn't, it doesn't. It is turned off. I use mine 347 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:33.240 all the time. Yeah, but it like as you get as you empty 348 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.440 the clip, the there's like lesser resistance on the right trigger when you bottom 349 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.839 out and the clip is empty. It feels different, like not every game 350 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:47.839 is I think built for adaptive triggers because it is making your fingers work at 351 00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.480 a rate that is like someone, no, not your hands out in Call 352 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.200 of Duty, right in that case of course, Yeah, I definitely did 353 00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:02.519 have a thing and Phase seven Rebirth they have like a pull up mini game, 354 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.960 right and they're doing the adaptive triggers, and it's it's yeah, like, 355 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.720 oh, there's more resistance the more tired you get. But like the 356 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:14.440 hardest difficulty of that is very difficult, and it just makes it significantly easier 357 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:18.359 to turn off the adaptive triggers for a second seeking actually beat that mini game. 358 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.759 Yeah, as a piece of technology, I think it's really sick. 359 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:26.759 It is nuts that that is the only thing I can like point to you 360 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.960 that the PlayStation four could not do, you know, yeah, yeah, 361 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.960 I think I think both these console people are gonna have to try to figure 362 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:40.279 out so maybe slightly more enticing features for their next system than the kind of 363 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.079 built in hints system and like yeah, that was a really big deal and 364 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.480 then never talking about it again once the console launches, like, yeah, 365 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.319 they're going to figure some stuff out. Yeah, that's like when we did 366 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.839 a BCR earlier in the year about our year in preview, talking about what 367 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.640 we were excited for in our thing. That's why we say that, like 368 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.119 a PlayStation may have been the least interesting because they just have a console and 369 00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:08.160 it's a good console overall, but it is still just that console experience, 370 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.000 whereas something like exactly what you know it is, Yeah, it's what you're 371 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:17.200 expected. The switch is interesting because of the handheld factor. PC is always 372 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:21.440 interesting. Xbox may move in a different direction than what they have right now, 373 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.240 and that's interesting. So you know, the console has a place, 374 00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.319 but it's just it's not interesting in the way they used to be. And 375 00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:33.240 I think now everyone having access to things like a super fast SSD and a 376 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.759 you know, at least better processor, being able to do all this dec 377 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.799 compression or anything. Yeah, they're having what we've had PC for a long 378 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.160 time now. I think that's great for sure. Yeah. The consistency, 379 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.799 I will say, the consistency of playing video games on the Xbox series X 380 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:55.000 and the PlayStation five is leads ahead of the PlayStation four. Yes, yeah, 381 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.200 I mean the playfacks four had a laptop hard drive in it. Yeah, 382 00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:03.519 basically netbook. Yeah, it was awful, like awful stuff. So 383 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:08.000 like from a will the game run reliably? You can be like, yeah, 384 00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:15.799 and it'll run pretty good, so for sure video game. Hey Sean, 385 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:21.119 do you see the Doori's famed Persona slash taka leak your Madoria saying that 386 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.720 Persona one and two remakes are coming. Oh maybe like step back from like 387 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.759 remake remake, like some kind of updated form of Persona one and two. 388 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.279 Interesting okay, because we heard from I think someone other than Midori, which 389 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:37.920 is why it's like, you know, people don't take it when as much 390 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.960 series as that, two and four were like lined up. So it sounds 391 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.400 like the very least two would be the one that's considered. I bet they 392 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.880 are all going to get that treatment eventually. I mean four is absolutely going 393 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.240 to happen, but one and two is interesting because those games do not play 394 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.880 much like the Persona three four five formula. They're basically just different games. 395 00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:02.279 Like they are two Persona almost what Tea is too Persona. They're so different. 396 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.160 I mean, it is like you have like high school students, right, 397 00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:07.440 and like that's kind of it because it's more recruiting. It's kind of 398 00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.960 more of like a what I remember. It's a kind of more grid based 399 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.000 placement stuff matters combat. It's real, yeah, weird and different. You 400 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.920 don't have social links, you don't have the calendar. I think that's a 401 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.119 first person Dungeon Crawler is like like all those games. It's a lot more 402 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.200 like the old school set games. You have the actual like demon negotiating and 403 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.359 all that stuff too. So yeah, just impress. You guys went this 404 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:38.279 long without talking about the colors want to Matter I think and white video game. 405 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.519 Yeah, that's the weird thing about Persona. Like you know, it's 406 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.000 kind of like Street Fighter too. How Street Fir two is kind of the 407 00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.279 first blood, like no disrespect PERSDA what to do? They are good? 408 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.640 But like what I think talking about how I really like Persona. What I 409 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.000 mean is like that series that started with PERSDA three, but I really like 410 00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.799 that's overwhelmingly that's where Persona, as most of us like it started, So 411 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:06.200 he kind of just one and two one two deserves some sort of update though, 412 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:08.079 just to bring it into uh, you know, into play with everything 413 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.519 else. Nicky Raising giant bomb dot com. Hi, Yeah, Nikki Grayson, 414 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.799 Giant bomb dot Com. Folks in chat are saying that Hitler is in 415 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:22.400 Persona likes so much. Yes, I believe that's the Jeff Drobe's pin tweet. 416 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.839 If you go to twet Hitler's my pin tweet. Yeah, I mean 417 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.640 I think the soul of Hitler is involved. Yeah. Yeah, they bring 418 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.519 up Hitler and they're sorry about it. Okay, Yeah, I don't want 419 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:38.519 to say too much because I'm trying to think of but yeah, there is 420 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:44.039 just a character not named Taylor, named something else who is just Hitler, 421 00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.039 and I believe he's a boss character or something. So yokai you can capture 422 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.279 him and make him fight other yokai. They know, Well, good for 423 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:55.480 you so much about me, Jeff just every all these things. Yeah, 424 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.599 nailing it. Remember was that Persona too when they were trying to like just 425 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.880 name it series revelations in the US for a little bit that was the first 426 00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.759 one. The first one was Revelations Persona. Yeah, yeah, it was 427 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:11.039 Persona two. And then here in the West, Meyers saying is this was 428 00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.839 never the case. Over in Japan they call it shimmagami tense Persona. That 429 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.039 was specifically a thing for right, I remember seeing that, right, Yeah, 430 00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.359 because this is weird because they had like thought that we really loved s 431 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.680 MT after was on PS two. Yeah, I guess what the time, 432 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.880 they did localize a good amount of SMT games. On PS two you had 433 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:37.519 Nocturn and the the the action based ones in Digital Devil Saga, so like, 434 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:40.720 I guess there were a few of them, so they invested in that 435 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:45.559 name. But yeah, Persona became so much bigger than that. I'm I'm 436 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.640 looking at a Reddit thread and they're like they are kind of trying to force 437 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.240 the coloring scheme onto the first two games, Like the first one was kind 438 00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.279 of white and gray and the second one was red and black, and then 439 00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.039 but Persona five is red and black also, so yeah, they just want 440 00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:59.720 to do in that what is Persona too Innocent sin? So they're two Persona 441 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.079 two games, and they're basically like Part one and Part two we only got 442 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.000 part one in the US originally, so it was messed up. It's just 443 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:15.160 like a half Oh I see. Yeah. Is Persona as a spin off 444 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:22.359 as big as Extreme Makeover Home Edition was relative to Extreme Makeover Origin? Is 445 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:27.200 Extreme Makeover Home Edition on the mount rushmore of spin offs of spin offs? 446 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:30.119 Real quick? It's more mess up than I thought. We only got part 447 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:37.799 two we did, Okay, that's what I Part two is two. I 448 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.839 guess maybe Part one had Hitler. Maybe that was I think that's it. 449 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:48.160 I think that literally is it? Yes, the mystery saw Hitler. But 450 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:53.480 all right, I think what we're gonna do now is we're gonna take a 451 00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.839 quick break. When we get back, we'll talk about our topic for this 452 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:03.440 episode right after this twenty twenty four, it's a year on the calendar. 453 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.799 But are there any more video games? Scientists still aren't sure. We're gonna 454 00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.200 do our best to figure it out. Nikki has their answer. No, 455 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.799 no, no, more games are over. Yeah, games are over. 456 00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.440 Okay, So yeah. The reason we're doing this is, like, like 457 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.720 I said, at the beginning of the episode last week, we were like, 458 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.000 hey, what are your favorite games of the year so far? We 459 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:26.359 all put our lists together. It's been a stacked year so far, and 460 00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:27.920 then you do look ahead and say, okay, things are starting to slow 461 00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:32.960 down, but that doesn't mean there's absolutely nothing. But then that backs the 462 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:34.880 question, what is there? We're gonna do this in a couple of tiers. 463 00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.960 We're gonna do our most anticipated game that's announced and has a date, 464 00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:41.799 then a game that might come out, and then a game that is a 465 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.440 long shot. There'll be some overlap. We'll kind of make it more discussion 466 00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.519 based, but yeah, where should we start for the game that we're most 467 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:51.359 excited about that definitely has a date to anyone have one they want to throw 468 00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:56.119 out? I mean it did just have you know that store reveal in a 469 00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:00.519 release eight come out? Star Wars Outlaws is something that pretty imminent that I'm 470 00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:04.359 thinking about a lot right now. Yeah, same here, and I think 471 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:10.640 it looks pretty promising from the trailers, uh even the like that revealed trailer 472 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:14.359 from Summer Game Fest last year wherever it was like, this looks pretty solid. 473 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.599 I'm pretty down with what Massive has done. I thought the Division games 474 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.359 are a good time. I thought that Avatar game was really solid all things 475 00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.680 considered, and this looks like they are putting a lot more effort into it, 476 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.519 So I'm really hopeful. And I like the Star Wars games that is 477 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:32.200 about the grimy underworld, so and this is definitely that. Yeah, we 478 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:34.519 got enough Jedi games. Yeah that's yeah, that's exactly what I was gonna 479 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:41.000 say. So so much of Star Wars is in Marvel's issue too, right, 480 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:42.599 is like, oh, we never saw the Lightsabers mod that I put 481 00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:48.880 in the game, that we saw it loaded, we saw a sword. 482 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.559 I will have assumed that would have been at but no, Yeah, me 483 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:56.920 too. We've had so many canceled like Star Wars games that were trying to 484 00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:01.279 be some kind of underworldy more because there was Star Wars with the numbers whatever 485 00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:08.559 that was tag Amy Headings Joy that didn't happen, an A and a game 486 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.359 that they didn't multiple size it. There was there was another EA game that 487 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.440 that I heard about that that that has been talked about in other places, 488 00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:20.519 but it was also going to be an underworld game. And the people I 489 00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.119 talked to you were like, yeah, we were going to kind of do 490 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.640 this simulation of the galactic economy where you are working as a smuggler, and 491 00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:29.200 it was going to be kind of like sid Meers Pirates, the Star Wars 492 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.359 game I always really wanted, So I've been kind of sad ever since then 493 00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:36.400 this this looks kind of like it's going for that vibe. Yeah, And 494 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.440 it like it seems like it's approaching these spaces in the way that I want 495 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:40.359 them to be approached, which is to say that, like, I have 496 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:45.279 no interest in kind of being on a big planet that has jackshit on it. 497 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.839 I want a very I want it to be like like shadow Box, 498 00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.559 ye, Like I want it to be very detailed and intentionally designed. And 499 00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:59.119 I am okay if it is small. If you are putting me in a 500 00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:04.240 city that feels like it has lived in and people are active in like, 501 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:09.319 that is more engaging to me than anything. And I hope to God that 502 00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:15.640 there are no Jedi in it. Yeah, so it's set between Empires and 503 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:22.880 Return of the Jedi, which is when there would be the fewest jedire. 504 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:27.559 That is not a promise that there won't be on again. I mean, 505 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:31.039 how did you guys feel when like the trailer was like it's Jaba the Because 506 00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:35.880 even even f I should give it a little bit, but even that I 507 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:42.039 was a little bit of course, I think like Java being important tracks right, 508 00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:47.759 like completely makes sense? Yes, right, but that that and that's 509 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.680 why I'm like, I'm down with that a little bit more than I am 510 00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.559 like Kira from this from Solo a Starlar story, being like, well, 511 00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:57.480 now she's in charge of that game will bring Okay, that just that feels 512 00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.640 a little bit more forced, and yet it does make an enough since because 513 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.400 she's in charge of this criminal syndicate and that is one of the things that 514 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:07.720 you were interacting with commonly in this game, So I get it. But 515 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.960 if they kind of go above that, and it is if like Luke Skylbarker 516 00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.079 shows up, yeah, I'm mad, Yeah, like legitimately and actually like 517 00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.159 I'm mad if a lightsaber, if I get to hold the lightsaber in this 518 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.440 game, I'm actually annoyed. How would you feel? How would you feel 519 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:22.920 if they did a bit where like a lightsaber shows up and they're just like, 520 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:24.920 who who wants one of these? Or what is that thing? Yeah? 521 00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:30.239 Right, this is stupid. This is stupid. I have a gun 522 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:37.519 shoot lightsabers. That'd be a good bite if you found it. You're like, 523 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:38.400 oh man, this is gonna be worth so much. When I fence 524 00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:42.079 it and they're like, nobody wants these these this is get it out. 525 00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.920 Yeah, that'd be cool. All right, let's keep it moving. Then 526 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:50.199 who's got the next game? That's me baby. Ntua A Football twenty five 527 00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:55.480 Return to Form. It's really weird. I hadn't played a Madden game in 528 00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.480 a few years, and right before the Super Bowl, I downloaded the game 529 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:05.400 on the free trial and I did an entire season, like a creative character 530 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.079 season. Oh and I had a blast, like I think Matt like if 531 00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:15.599 as a person who is not really looking at Madden for a simulation situation, 532 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:21.199 I'm looking for some time in between or something in between, like an arcade 533 00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:23.519 experience like an NFL blitz. But I do want a little I want more 534 00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:27.159 plays, right, Like I do want to be able to do motion offense 535 00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:30.760 and move my guys around in that kind of stuff. And like getting get 536 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.000 out twenty five minutes, you play a game of Madden fucking ruled like I 537 00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.320 thought. It felt so good. And the thing that I really liked about 538 00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:44.960 the nt double A games in the past is that while the the franchise mode 539 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.320 stuff in the Madden games got really boring and stale, Like I was always 540 00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.840 looking for, like the ability to change the price of popcorn at my thing, 541 00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:57.480 because that's like really what I got into when I was playing Madden O 542 00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:04.039 five in NT double because it's a college and like you get and there's so 543 00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:08.280 many College football is so fucking weird. There's like conferences and alignment and now 544 00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:13.360 like there's a transfer portal, which did not exist before. You're gonna like 545 00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:19.960 there's so many silly like institutional things that I hope make their way into playing 546 00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.320 the game that I'm really excited to play it in franchise mode and like pick 547 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:28.719 a random school and move it from either being like out of conference or like 548 00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.760 and move it into a conference and like move it up with division because like 549 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:36.000 those storylines you just can't do in a Madden game because everyone's at the same 550 00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:40.239 level. Like, I'm really excited about that from a from a game play 551 00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:44.880 building perspective, I'm excited about it. Do you expect those those features to 552 00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:46.400 be in here from the first line, because I'm like, I'm worried about 553 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:50.440 it that they're like kind of like we got the football and yet we have 554 00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:53.840 something akin to a transfer protocol. I'm just I'm worried about the robustness of 555 00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:58.239 it. I am you're your copit, So I'm confident because it's like a 556 00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:02.119 little bit what the fuck are you doing otherwise? Honestly, like and I 557 00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.199 considering it is just going to be the Madden engine slightly tweaked a little bit, 558 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:14.760 like if if they haven't been building this these mechanics, I like really 559 00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.320 don't know what they've been working on. Yeah, that's the frustrat thing I 560 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:21.760 hear. I hear about development is that they don't want this to be last 561 00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:24.199 year's Maden reskinned. Yeah, they want this kind of to stand on its 562 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.760 own. I'm like, it's okay if it's last year's Maden reskinned. As 563 00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:31.880 long as you have all the right college football on top of it, that's 564 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:36.840 all we really need. So focus on that. But I guess make it 565 00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:38.599 a very good, fun to play football game will be key as well. 566 00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:42.360 It's huge. When is that coming out? Because I I've meant to say 567 00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:46.159 this Star Wars about August thirtieth. When is this autu? I think also 568 00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:51.039 August. I will look it up NCAA. That would be the right time 569 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:54.400 for the football season twenty five. They haven't any gameplay from that game, 570 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:58.840 which is nuts either, right, I think they last time I talked about 571 00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:00.400 it, I think they said they would show it off in the next couple 572 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:07.119 of months. Yeah, so yeah, I don't think it has an official 573 00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.039 date yet that they'll probably do all of that at the same time. Then 574 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:14.000 all right, next up, Mikey, is it gonna be an MMO year 575 00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:15.480 for you? It kind of is. I think it's gonna be a big 576 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.960 MML year, which is a good thing to have, and what might be 577 00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.159 a lighter year because yeah, this summer, I gotta look that up. 578 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:27.880 This Foul Fantasy fourteen down trail, so the next expansionon for that, this 579 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.920 one has going to kind of have some some tropical vacation vibes to it, 580 00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:36.599 which I think is gonna be really exciting. It's also the start of a 581 00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:40.039 new storyline, the kind of storyline that did start with a realm reborn even 582 00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:45.440 a bit in like the original Foul Fantasy fourteen had its big finale with the 583 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:50.320 last expansion and Walker, So like, I think everyone's kind of spending dontro 584 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.480 to start off real light and fun, but then there's gonna be stuff happening 585 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:58.280 that's going to kind of lead us to like another really big ten year story 586 00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.360 arc, and you know we have new jobs. I think Picto Mancer looks 587 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:07.559 really neat. It's uh like an artist who uses the magic paintbrush to murder 588 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:12.039 people like pick Mickey, like thick Mickey. Yeah, we'll say that's coming 589 00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:15.880 back to So I'm looking forward to try that out. Basic fourteen. It 590 00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.000 has just been so good for a while now. Any new content of that 591 00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:22.159 I am looking forward to. But then yeah, like later this year. 592 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.800 It doesn't have an exact release date yet, but World Warcraft The War Within 593 00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.320 is going to come out, and but World of Warcraft in general, it's 594 00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:34.239 just kind of popping off real hard right now. They added a Battle Royale 595 00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:39.719 mode that people like a classic is happening. Yeah, sorry, correct, 596 00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:43.519 you told me this before, And I'm meant to be like, wait, 597 00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:45.880 what would it take for me to do to play that? Like I hoplate 598 00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:47.679 in I don't know, I don't, I don't know if you have to 599 00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.280 be mex level. It's it's I need to check it out myself. Still. 600 00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.639 It's called Plunderstorm. It's all pirate themed stuff. It's like a yeah, 601 00:39:54.679 --> 00:40:00.599 so it's a World Warcraft pirate themed battle Royale. But is it still 602 00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.719 just World of war TV. No, I think it's different, Like I 603 00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:08.280 don't think you necessarily taken your class ability. I don't know, I need 604 00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:13.519 to try it. But I think people actually saying all you need is a 605 00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:15.800 sub. It doesn't even use your real characters. That's it. It doesn't 606 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:19.519 use your real character. So so that's all you need is a sub and 607 00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.800 you can hop right into it. Currently, maybe we need to check that 608 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:24.000 out. Then, Yeah, that sounds like a wild time. If that's 609 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:29.400 the first way that I ever played World of Warcraft, that would be ideal. 610 00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:31.320 People are like, you know, like I like to peek in at 611 00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:35.960 the World Warcraft subreddit and you know, for the last decade it's just people 612 00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:38.039 complaining. And I was in there the other day and people are happy, 613 00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:42.360 Like people had like the mean like the guy hold like to like getting offered 614 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.920 too much stuff. It was like all the positive things. Hell, yeah, 615 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.440 good person. Yeah, because like there's like apparently subscriptions are at like 616 00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.519 a very good point maybe seven point five million ish, which is insane. 617 00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.920 So with everything else that's like not going great, maybe a blizzard, they're 618 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:00.480 that although en erual, a lot of things seem to be getting righty there 619 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.960 because people seem very excited about the new season of the album four, which 620 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:07.400 is coming out in like a couple of days. I kind of want to 621 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:12.320 check that out. You know, Overwatch too is still overwatched too, but 622 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.440 yeah, you know, it could also bounce back, like people in the 623 00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:20.360 reddit being happy for you, though, Like while I was like, yeah, 624 00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:22.440 I could put it off to the side and I'll come back to it, 625 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:24.079 were you starting to feel kind of worn down by it as well? 626 00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:28.840 Yeah? I mean I definitely was kind of like over it a bit because 627 00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:34.079 I had played pretty intensely for a while, especially when when war Wards of 628 00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:36.760 drain Or came out, which is not a good expansion. I did play 629 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:37.840 a lot of it, and I also played a lot of Legion, and 630 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:40.920 I even played a good amount of Battle for Azeroff, which is not a 631 00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.320 liked expansion at all. And then after that was shadow Lands. Shadow Lands 632 00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:51.119 was the low point that was just a bad so you had like a banger 633 00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:53.639 after banger of things kind of ruined in your experience, right that you got 634 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:58.039 burned out on it At that time. At least was playing Classic and that 635 00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:00.199 was fun, but like I was playing Classic with people. It took classic 636 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.760 pretty seriously. So for you, we're all of that. I was just 637 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.599 done and from Fantasy fourteen was there, and I was playing a lot of 638 00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:09.280 that, and it was just more of my speed. But now I'm at 639 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:14.800 a point where I almost have like equal amounts of time devoted to both of 640 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:16.519 those games. I could kind of just jump back and forth between them whenever 641 00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:20.719 I want to. Uh, Sean, we don't have to go in order, 642 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:22.360 So if you had one on this list you want to bring up, 643 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:24.519 feel free to go for it. No, it's okay, Well let's just 644 00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:28.119 keep going in order. It's cool, okay, all right. Yeah. 645 00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:30.559 The next one we have here is Indiana Jones in the Great Circle, which 646 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:32.719 I didn't put on here, but I feel good about it as well. 647 00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:37.239 Who dropped this one? I put it on there. I am looking forward 648 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:40.239 to this quite a bit. I still like Indiana Jones. Yeah, And 649 00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:43.719 I think, honestly, I think the great thing about doing a video game 650 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.480 is that we can make kind of the Indiana Jones adventure that you really can't 651 00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:52.400 with movies anymore for a variety of reasons these days. So just like, 652 00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:54.960 hey, we're going to make like a trip people, and all the people 653 00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:59.599 and Disney. Yeah, absolutely, you got it. I don't know what 654 00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:01.559 we see so far looks good and oh my god, you know that this 655 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:05.920 developer, Yeah, the Machine Games makes good video games. Yeah, they're 656 00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.239 just not gonna they made a bad game here. Yeah, And I'm like 657 00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:15.360 legitimately excited to see what that like. No, that my favorite part, 658 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:20.599 and and maybe this is a mistake in thinking, but my favorite part about 659 00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:23.800 Wolf at the Wolf and the New Wolf and Sign Games is that it was 660 00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:30.239 entirely unpredictable what the fuck was going to happen next? And I was like 661 00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:35.199 strapped in amped about every single thing that was happening because the writing was so 662 00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:39.320 good, the pacing was so strong, and it felt the stakes all kind 663 00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:45.920 of felt legitimate, and like Indiana Jones built in has those steaks right, 664 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:49.960 And I'm really I'm just really excited to see what they do with this story. 665 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:53.239 I doubt someone's gonna get beheaded and have their head put on a different 666 00:43:53.239 --> 00:44:00.800 body in this one, but who can say. Yeah, I'm a huge 667 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:04.760 machine games fan, I love those Wolfenstein games, and I love Indiana Jones, 668 00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:07.280 So yeah, that's it's taking a lot of boxes for me. I 669 00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:10.960 am like unsure of how this game. I mean, we saw a little 670 00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:14.320 bit of it so far, and when we do see it, it's like, 671 00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:17.760 you know what, I think this can work. I just actually maybe 672 00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:22.239 I am worried about the first person perspective a little bit. Well, I 673 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:24.400 think I think they can. You can make a good Indiana Jones game that's 674 00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:28.280 the first person. It's not that. I think it's them being a situation 675 00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.840 where like they want to make the game that they're good at, and then 676 00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:34.760 they feel pressure to do those like third person sections, which they also said 677 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:36.920 are in the game. Because it's like, well, you got to see 678 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:38.800 Indiana Jones, and I'm like, oh, if they're feeling that pressure, 679 00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:42.519 I wonder if they're just not confident about it or something, and that's what's 680 00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.840 maybe betraying it to me a little bit. So Okay, I'm glad you 681 00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:47.280 brought that up, because I thought you were the our way around where you 682 00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:50.840 were like, shut the hell up, like first person is fine. But 683 00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:54.679 I mean I I am outwardly that way. Internally I'm conflicted. Oh god, 684 00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:58.920 So yeah, because I'm in the same spot where I'm looking at it's 685 00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.119 like, I mean, they are good at making first person games, and 686 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.119 I like you, I I love the first person games. It's just it 687 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:09.760 feels so unnecessary because if you're obviously, if it's what you're good at, 688 00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:13.079 that's what you expect the studio to do. But the fact that they are 689 00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:16.599 doing the third person segments seems like, well, okay, they're they're programming 690 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:21.239 for this, they're accounting for the third person stuff, and if people are 691 00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:24.760 expecting a third person game at that point, it feels to me like they're 692 00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.880 almost just doing it in first person to be different. And in addition to 693 00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:31.519 the fact that they are good making those games, that's what they're comfortable with. 694 00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:37.199 So if you're looking for a third person video game where you can be 695 00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:40.320 Indian Entrance and I know, I think games is Fortnite. Oh oh okay 696 00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:47.000 the game and it is very good. I don't know, I'm not I'm 697 00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:50.039 not really worried about any of that. You know what, It almost gonna 698 00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:52.719 think of Betroit Prime, right where like, yeah, sometimes it kind of 699 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:55.840 pulls out a little bit when you whatever out. I think that's what's going 700 00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:59.039 to feel like, oh, you're climbing up a ladder. They're going to 701 00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:02.880 pull out for that more fall making you not vomit by going in third versus 702 00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:07.760 a little bit different than indies shimmying along a ledge, which is something that 703 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:12.440 he is in, something like Metro Prime. Yeah. I think the spirit 704 00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:14.760 might be the same though, and we won't know until we play it. 705 00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:16.760 Yeah, once we're playing it, we might be like, oh, of 706 00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:20.679 course they had to go third person here, this feels right. I would 707 00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:22.840 have made the same choice if I was in their shoes. We'll see. 708 00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:29.639 I'm just I want that game to feel as epic and dramatic and theatrical as 709 00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:31.880 possible, because it's how those are the things I think of with Indiana Jones, 710 00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:35.440 And I'm just not sure until I play it that that's how I'm gonna 711 00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:37.920 feel, right, all right. A couple more games on our Most Anticipated 712 00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:43.239 Announced Games avowed This one. Is this one actually coming out this year or 713 00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:46.199 we as a twenty four release date? God, I keep forgetting that twenty 714 00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:50.199 four. Now. I think if this was, if this is like the 715 00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:52.320 one on this list that's pushed back, I think it'd be the least surprising. 716 00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:58.159 Yeah, for sure, I'm curious about this one. This is another 717 00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.639 one where I really think I have to play it, where I really know 718 00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:02.000 how I feel about it. When I see it in video, I'm like, 719 00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:07.239 I see some elements of like the you know, the magic hands doing 720 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.440 magic stuff that looks somewhat appealing to me. And then the characters go and 721 00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:14.320 talk to one another like they do in Obsidian games, and I'm like, 722 00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:16.480 Okay, yeah, I hope that system is as deep as it can be 723 00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:21.519 in other Obsidian games. But I'm like, Okay, I think they'll probably 724 00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:23.280 nail that moment to moment. What am I doing? Is that fun? 725 00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:27.199 Is that interesting? And do I feel good about exploring that world? I 726 00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:29.960 really have no idea right at this point. At this point, yeah, 727 00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:35.559 I feel pretty confident in Obsidian's ability to to pull this one off. I 728 00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:37.519 guess part of me is is a little curious about the scale because I, 729 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:40.199 you know, I like the outer worlds. I want something a little bit 730 00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:45.599 bigger than that. I really confined. Yes, yeah, yeah, Like 731 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:49.800 I'm in a way that is like kind of the opposite of what I was 732 00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:52.840 saying about Star Wars Outlaws, right, Like, yes, the whole thing 733 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:57.960 about the outer worlds, that's right, Yeah, I'll think about the outer 734 00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:02.360 worlds is that it is almost as big as I wanted it to be right, 735 00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:07.159 but it was not. It was just to see the seams in outer 736 00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:09.400 worlds more than you want to. How the world says that problem that a 737 00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:13.360 lot of these sci fi games have because it's like, well, you're gonna 738 00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.760 go to these different planets, so things should feel bigger. It's just like, 739 00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:20.400 here's like four smaller maps instead of one big one, and that always 740 00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.840 actually feels a lot smaller than just having the one big Skyrim style map. 741 00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:28.199 Y awid that problem together? Yeah? Yeah, if I can see the 742 00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:34.039 planet on a map, that means you fucked up right? Yeah? I 743 00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:36.599 mean, any other thoughts about a vowed before we move on? I think 744 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:43.440 dual dual wanding? That's neat uh. Stellar Blade. This is the one 745 00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:47.519 that's coming up at the end of this month. PlayStation five combat action game, 746 00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:52.639 character action game. I am. I think I keep getting an urge 747 00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:53.920 to go back to this demo, which apparently a lot of people are the 748 00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:59.280 demos like, has a lot of players. Apparently. I think this game 749 00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:01.760 is going to be pretty solid and a good time. Is everyone still feeling 750 00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:04.679 that way after playing the demo? Or have you not played the demo? 751 00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:06.960 What's up? Oh? Yeah, I'm Yeah, I put this on here 752 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.239 because I am encouraged after the demo. It's what I was hoping the game 753 00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:15.239 would be. It's not quite a Platinum style character action game, but is 754 00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:20.000 in the vein of a more Devil May cryish one with you know, shades 755 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:23.360 of Sacro and stuff like we've discussed before. And I'm just really looking forward 756 00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:28.400 to this. One Of any game that has like an announced announced release dates 757 00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:30.039 so far, this is the one I'm looking forward to the most. It's 758 00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:34.039 also the one of the more recent ones, honest list. It comes on 759 00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:37.840 in what two weeks, so I'm going forward to getting my hands on because 760 00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:42.760 I had a great time with the demo. I think I think the demo 761 00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:45.880 is you know, it's a vertical slice, So maybe some people were underwhelmed 762 00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:52.239 but not realizing that in these games the combat only gets better as you unlock 763 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:55.199 stuff. So I'm looking forward to the potential of what this game could end 764 00:49:55.320 --> 00:50:01.239 up being, even more so than what we've already seen and played. Yeah, 765 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:05.960 I think the one thing that worries me is a me thing, not 766 00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:09.400 a game thing, where Perry windows are something that either click with me or 767 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:13.039 they don't, or they take a long time to click with me sometimes, 768 00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.760 and it's like in some games, it's like this just feels right. Secroo 769 00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:16.800 just felt right. I was able to nail it, And maybe that is 770 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.360 a little bit of a game thing because here I'm like, I'm trying to 771 00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:23.039 look at the enemies, trying to predict their movements, trying to understand their 772 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:27.960 animations that lead into the perry window, and it's like that just doesn't feel 773 00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:30.000 quite right. It did click more and more as I played it, so 774 00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.840 I'm hoping that it will fall into place for real as I'm playing the real 775 00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:37.320 game more quickly than it did when I was playing the demo. But other 776 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:39.280 than that, it's like, eah, yeah, that's something, Yeah, 777 00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:44.360 go ahead. That for me differentiates it beat and what definitively makes a character 778 00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:47.639 action game rather than souls like is the fact that souls you tend to like 779 00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:52.679 observe the enemy moar and like look at their movements and their followds and everything. 780 00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:55.480 Character action is more about the rhythm and knowing like, yeah, it 781 00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:59.079 is my turn, it's still my turn. It's almost the end of my 782 00:50:59.119 --> 00:51:01.000 turn. Get ready to then they'll be there turned, they'll toss out, 783 00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:05.599 attack up and figure out the rhythm of things, and that's that. That's 784 00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:10.280 here, and I'm looking forward to checking that out. Who's excited about definitive 785 00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:17.559 edition that has? I am? You know, hey, SO was a 786 00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:22.400 three d Oh exclusive first person shooter. It eventually got a PlayStation on one 787 00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:25.400 port, but yeah, this was a three DO shooter. It never came 788 00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:30.800 out to PC. It is very much a shooter from that area. You 789 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:36.559 play as a very angry space chef. He's po'. You might say, 790 00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:38.639 it's just it's just one of those doom likes, but it was just kind 791 00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:44.000 of silly and weird and kind of a product of history. Ninth Time Studio 792 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:47.239 SO has done a lot of these first person shooter remasters, like Dark Forces, 793 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:52.599 recently, all the Tarrock games Quake one and two. On April Fool's 794 00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:54.400 Day they announced they're gonna do a definitive edition of this. So then like 795 00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:57.840 the day after, like, no, we're serious, this is actually happening, 796 00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.800 and I'm very excited. I have a weird fascination with the three d 797 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:06.639 O the fact that this game is going to be like on PC finally, 798 00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:09.639 I think that's really neat, Like you have a jetpack this game for some 799 00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:14.480 reason, like of all the boomer shooters that are like actual boomer shooters, 800 00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:17.199 not modern ones, this is one of the weirder ones. I'm very excited 801 00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:22.159 to go back to it. Oh fun, And they constantly do great jobs 802 00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:23.920 with these, with these remastering So man, right, like one of your 803 00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:28.159 like one of you like your first weapons is just like an infinite supply of 804 00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:30.639 like bloody butcher knives that you throw at people, and that it's gonna be 805 00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:36.159 pastic Is this Does this mean that, like, well we might not even 806 00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:39.559 all be around by then, but like when Sean and I are forty eight, 807 00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:46.400 we're gonna get We're gonna get like amazing island, Like Sega's gonna make 808 00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:52.400 an amazing island. Hell, HD re release that Night Dive is that by 809 00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:57.360 night like Night Dive is gonna make a brand new amazing island. Hell yes, 810 00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:05.039 that's sounds like a healthscape that when I was young. Oh sorry, 811 00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:07.679 they haven't remade any of the games that I liked when I was nine, 812 00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:13.400 So this game doesn't have a release date yet, but I assume it's gonna 813 00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:15.880 be sometimes this year. This isn't something that's going to take a whole lot 814 00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:21.519 of time, Right, we missed that. I think Indiana Jones, like 815 00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:23.760 the rumor is like December for that, So that's the only one that has 816 00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:28.599 a date that we know about or might know about, all right, metaphor 817 00:53:28.679 --> 00:53:35.559 re Fantasio. This is the more fantasy take on an RPG from the Persona 818 00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:38.800 team, right, Fantasy Persona. Fantasy Persona is the well this this team 819 00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:44.719 spun off of the Persona team. This is basically the original original issue. 820 00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:47.800 Could say Persona team going off to do a different thing, and then there's 821 00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:52.880 a different team that's now taken on Persona over there. Okay, cool, 822 00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:54.400 I believe, But looking at it, looking at it, it's like, 823 00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:57.840 yeah, this is something from the proof of the people that make Persona, 824 00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:01.320 but fantasy. I always thought this game looked really cool when we saw it 825 00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:07.280 in the was the Xbox Showcase last E three they announced this and Reload at 826 00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:10.920 the same time, right, and I thought it looked pretty impressive. How 827 00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:15.400 are you guys feeling about it? As a Persona fans? Strong, I 828 00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:19.000 think it looks very good. My one thing, and it's a small thing, 829 00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:22.400 is that I think part of what makes Persona interesting is that they made 830 00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:27.239 a really cool RP JRPG that isn't fantasy, like almost all of them are, 831 00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:29.840 right, so like you know, to be like, hey, let's 832 00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:31.960 like do a different setting. Let's just go back to fantasy. It's partly 833 00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:37.280 like okay, but whatever, though, they're going to find a ways to 834 00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:40.119 make it interesting and to make it distinct. And I guess I'm curious to 835 00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:44.320 see, like what is different here, right, because I think we still 836 00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:46.400 have a calendar system and things like that that might even still be social links, 837 00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:51.400 right, So it's a lot of Persona stuff in there. I think 838 00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:54.440 it will just be Persona but in a different style setting, which I'm actually 839 00:54:54.559 --> 00:55:00.440 kind of down for because I mean, as much as other rpg have been 840 00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:04.480 high fantasy before, have we really had a game like Persona in a high 841 00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:09.679 fantasy setting where it is so much about that calendar system and you know, 842 00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:13.559 uh, figure out, I'm going to do this in the first half of 843 00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:15.920 the day, this in the second half of the day, and then form 844 00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:19.840 this very structured social link with everyone that feeds back into the gameplay in a 845 00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:23.039 tangible way. I know there's so many RPGs have, you know, forming 846 00:55:23.079 --> 00:55:28.679 relationships with your traveling companions and everything. Obviously BioWare is big onto that and 847 00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:32.440 stuff like that, but I feel like in this specific way. A couple 848 00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:37.559 couple of people pointed out three houses, I guess, but like sure, 849 00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:40.280 yeah yeah, and also three houses is kind of just persona in some way, 850 00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:44.719 so I guess you're right about that. It's a pretty different flavor of 851 00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:49.519 fantasy, right, This is like almost like more like Alis in Wonderland's almost 852 00:55:49.559 --> 00:55:51.840 a little bit I don't know, that's exactly right. Yeah, that's the 853 00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:53.400 art thing I wanted to point out. It's not exactly a high fantasy. 854 00:55:53.639 --> 00:56:00.000 It is more I'm trying to think, Yeah, it's like absurd or what 855 00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:06.239 I'm not thinking the wrong Yeah, those words of bike. But yeah, 856 00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:09.079 it's a surrealist, That's what I'm trying to It's a bit surrealist mixed in 857 00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:13.719 with the high fantasy. Psychedelic is not wrongly that just came up in chat. 858 00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:15.400 That's good one too, where I think they're getting a little wild. 859 00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:22.039 I think we saw maybe a little bit of maybe technology in there in almost 860 00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:25.559 like a magic tech type of way in that initial trailer, which I think 861 00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:29.360 Jeff might have pulled up here. So I think it's just going to be 862 00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:35.679 a different vibe than your typical high fantasy just it just looks. It looks 863 00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:37.679 like it has. As someone in Chatman I think warden Cliff mentioned it has 864 00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:40.800 the juice, the menu system, all that stuff like these games always do. 865 00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:44.320 Oh yeah, that that's the thing that just came up the trailer was 866 00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:46.000 what I was talking about. It like the character has maybe a hoverbart or 867 00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:50.400 something like that, or maybe they're just doing magic, but some yeah, 868 00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:55.199 there's an airship like something about this mixture of a little bit of technology in 869 00:56:55.239 --> 00:57:00.159 the vein of some final fantasies or main monster hunt type thing. I think 870 00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:04.559 that's very appealing to me, mixed with the persona formula. I think it's 871 00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:07.920 going to be a really interesting game, and it is still nebulous. Twenty 872 00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:12.400 twenty four I think the last we heard they did say a fall of twenty 873 00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:15.559 twenty four is the target. But yeah, no exact date just yet, 874 00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:19.760 but it's likely coming out. I think what's interesting is like you still obviously 875 00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:23.119 have like the things in your party, but they might not actually be personas 876 00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:28.039 this time, Like we're not like we're not those teams. I think it 877 00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:35.800 might be people in this time, right, So that's interesting Yeah, they've 878 00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:38.519 been working on this for a long time, so I won't be surprised if 879 00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:44.280 this like runs deeper than we think. It's just because own ip showed up 880 00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.000 at Xbox, people are like, oh that game. I was like, 881 00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:49.039 Oh, this is the thing that you guys have known about for a long 882 00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:52.760 time. The project or re Fantasy it was aw has in like twenty fifteen 883 00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:58.679 or something. They've been cooking and you'll get this trailer. I'm looktting more 884 00:57:58.679 --> 00:58:04.440 excited. Very good games. I'm pumped for this. It looks yeah, 885 00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:06.800 all right, last one on the ones that are announced to have a date 886 00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:13.320 Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Talk your shit. I'm just excited. I put 887 00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:16.440 it on slightly as a joke. I am legitimately excited because the current Pokemon 888 00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:21.559 TCG simulator ain't great, but it's also not very gamified. I think this 889 00:58:21.599 --> 00:58:23.519 is going to fix one of fix both of those problems. Really, and 890 00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:27.719 while I'm just more interesting because it's another way for me to play a TCG, 891 00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:30.559 which I'm always into. I play different formats and stuff. I'm excited 892 00:58:30.599 --> 00:58:35.440 that I think like this is the kind of game where y'all on the call 893 00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:39.679 with me here probably like haven't even touched Pokemon TCG Live. But when this 894 00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:44.239 trailer came up, you know, like we're going to call me Nicky Mike 895 00:58:44.360 --> 00:58:46.199 Jan we were, and I was like, this is the kind of game 896 00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:54.519 you people might be into, these people all y'all to bring to just because 897 00:58:54.519 --> 00:59:00.119 my brain's too small for ye all. Non super on the second board the 898 00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:06.400 same time. Yeah, I'm fucking amped about this legitimately, and actually I 899 00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:08.039 love to play it. There's if there's one thing about me is that I 900 00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:10.960 love to play a mobile card game. For two and a half months, 901 00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:15.679 and that was me with Marble Snap. It was the best two and a 902 00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:21.599 half months I've ever had on my phone. And then I'm really excited to 903 00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:24.519 play this for also two and a half months showing the right thing. Is 904 00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:31.119 this the four hundred dollars board game thing? Or that is just six though 905 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:37.639 it's called poke about trading Card game Classic not not the thing that I just 906 00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:40.840 put into the chat that you can have there. It's most of the words 907 00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:46.320 are the same though, it's the thing weird game based on this? Can 908 00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:52.559 they send us this? Yeah, I don't have Wonderfu halfway through trade? 909 00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:57.519 Yeah, I definitely want to check this out looks. Yeah, yeah, 910 00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.880 because you like it's a simpler way to play the game, so I think 911 01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:04.679 it's gonna be more accessible. I it's gonn immersive cards. I'm sorry. 912 01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:07.800 So what the trailer said, you know, the car is going to be 913 01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:12.679 surrounded by people playing this and he's gonna be pure pressure. Yeah, exactly, 914 01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:15.960 I can't pressure. We'll get to me. I'm gonna get the Pokemon 915 01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:25.679 coming about that, I didn't say, thank you, Mike, all right, 916 01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:29.880 okay, So that moves us to our next tier, which are the 917 01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:34.679 most anticipated games that we think might come out. This is gonna be a 918 01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:37.239 little bit of shorter list. We've got a number of big ones in here. 919 01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:42.280 I do think we should start with Spoon Heaven, Heaven Heaven or Hollow 920 01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:49.400 Night. Silk Song is just Spoon Heaven in my brain now at this point, 921 01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:53.599 that's all it is. I believe. I think this keeps coming out 922 01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:57.199 this year. I think it might even come out soon. You know, 923 01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:00.679 got those raty things. And that's great because Hallow Night is such a fantastic 924 01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:05.000 game. I I've kind of had to stop myself from going back to it 925 01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:08.239 because it's a very big game and I just don't really have time to spend 926 01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:13.239 playing that right now, and not kind of catching up with new releases at 927 01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:15.159 the moment, but the fact that they have been cooking so long on this. 928 01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:19.039 If there's ever any thought that this was going to be kind of like 929 01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:22.199 like the Miles Morales style like expand alone thing, No, this is Hollow 930 01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:25.800 Night too, is my dictation now, and I'm pretty sure that is exactly 931 01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:29.239 what we're gonna get. I'm just looking at like this trailer here. These 932 01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:34.840 games look so good and the just watching the specific movement, like how you 933 01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:37.079 know you're the character here as a bit of a different moveseet than from the 934 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:42.760 first Hall of Night. You had this very specific kind of diagonal downward slash 935 01:01:42.800 --> 01:01:45.920 thing that you can use to kind of bounce off enemies. Oh my gosh, 936 01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:50.199 this game is looking so gorgeous. I just like Hallow Night and I've 937 01:01:50.199 --> 01:01:52.559 missed it and I can't wait to go back to that kind of game. 938 01:01:52.679 --> 01:02:00.199 I love flash animation. I don't like the way this that's crazy. That's 939 01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:05.239 a crazy thing. I don't see it. I don't know. You know, 940 01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:07.280 me and grub Well, we don't love Hollow Night. And even we're 941 01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:10.519 like that's a crazy take. Yeah, I A. I don't think that's 942 01:02:10.639 --> 01:02:13.840 that. I do not see it when I look at this game for sure. 943 01:02:14.519 --> 01:02:15.719 That was never my problem, and I don't really have that much of 944 01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:21.159 a problem with it. It's just there's no way you wouldn't like Hallow Night. 945 01:02:21.360 --> 01:02:23.119 I think I said the games that you do like. You literally played 946 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.559 Hollow Night and said I don't like this, Mike, what more do you 947 01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:29.719 want from them? I played an hour and I said I didn't. You 948 01:02:29.719 --> 01:02:31.679 went back to it. I know you're old, you probably don't remember it, 949 01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:34.920 but you went back to it and you're like, yeah, Mike, 950 01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:38.800 I'm sorry. I still don't like it. This is you like this? 951 01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:45.719 You like the Castle, Paian, this is just that better in some ways. 952 01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:52.519 In this distressed tone in your voice, the game of the year, 953 01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:58.840 I'm stressed. Fire Emblem, Genealogy of the Holy World remain still fake every 954 01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:05.119 game name in my presence for almost a calendar year now. It's not like 955 01:03:05.199 --> 01:03:08.880 it isn't real, like you're making because the name of it, yes, 956 01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:15.719 yeah, that's just the existing name of the game. It cannot be the 957 01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:19.920 existing name of the game game. Anyone doesn't know. This is like I 958 01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:22.599 forget the exact numbering, but it's like fire Emblem four or something on the 959 01:03:22.639 --> 01:03:27.800 Super or super Famy com specifically, And we in the West didn't get fire 960 01:03:27.840 --> 01:03:31.000 Emblem at all until I believe seven or eight on the Game Boy Advance. 961 01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:35.679 The game that we just called fire almb was. It wasn't in the first 962 01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:37.599 one in the GBA. It was a sequel to an existing GBA one. 963 01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:42.360 But exactly this is a game that, like you know, people talk up 964 01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:45.320 and so naturally it was set to get a remake, And we've been hearing 965 01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:50.800 and maybe for a vrious sources that hey, this game just exists and they're 966 01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:54.320 just sending on it. You know, is it is it mechanically interesting or 967 01:03:54.400 --> 01:03:59.000 different from them, or is it just one that never came out? I 968 01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:01.360 mean, I think us I think it's very similar to what those games were 969 01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:04.719 at that time, which is kind of the bones of what you get these 970 01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:09.320 days. But in a remake I mentioned, they'll add a lot of pressure 971 01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:15.480 nice new features, the three Houses viae. They might rename it from Genealogy 972 01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:18.119 a Holy War, but this will almost assuredly be Fire Emblem echoes something, 973 01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:21.800 right. I think the reason why people liked this one specifically from like the 974 01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:28.159 sixteen bit ones is because it had a particularly good story. I see cool. 975 01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:32.639 So hey more Fireman, and I mean the fire them is a franchise 976 01:04:32.679 --> 01:04:36.320 they rely on consistently, Like there's no way they're not. Also like they're 977 01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:40.360 making a new fire for sure, but there's also no way they weren't making 978 01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:43.400 something like this another remake. They're kind of going back and forth with these 979 01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:45.599 one after the other. Uh, Like, hey, I like this one. 980 01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:51.079 Jurassic Parks Survival. Yeah, the Game Game Awards where I got announced. 981 01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:55.320 I don't think so. I think so. And so this is the 982 01:04:55.360 --> 01:05:00.360 Alien Isolation sort of like a game that is where you play as a character 983 01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:03.119 trying to survive in Jurassic Park act not Jurassic World. Jurassic Park where the 984 01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:09.320 dinosaurs have escaped and you power is out the powers. That's the most part. 985 01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:15.840 It's a power restoration shut shout outs to the ben I'm gonna be on 986 01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:17.880 the Trivia Tower in like a week and a half. Everybody look out for 987 01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:23.199 that. But that's like just straight up a good idea. That's it's a 988 01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:27.719 great idea. Takeing in Isolation, put dinosaurs in there. Done, and 989 01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:30.679 I hope I hope it comes across the finish line in a really strong way. 990 01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:33.239 I think that that trailer looks great. Uh. The aesthetics of Dress 991 01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:38.239 Park one are just so good, from like the actual like dinosaur habitats, 992 01:05:38.519 --> 01:05:42.960 to like the weird kind of like natural history museum meets theme park look of 993 01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:45.880 the buildings, and then like the real like you know, like like realistic 994 01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:50.280 like infrastructure stuff that all that stuff just hits for me. And seeing it 995 01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:56.440 in this triple A presentation, I was immediately all about this. I think 996 01:05:56.480 --> 01:05:59.760 that this is such a fantastic idea. I hope it delivers on that. 997 01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:01.920 I think this just doesn't really have a release date yet, so I'm not 998 01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:05.639 sure if it is this year, but I'm willing to wait. Whatever it 999 01:06:05.679 --> 01:06:10.480 is, I'm excited. Sure. Oh shit, and it's got the door 1000 01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:16.159 closing tech from the division, that's right. I get Like I remember Backlar 1001 01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:18.880 being like, oh, it didn't look good goodechno technologically, like the frame 1002 01:06:18.960 --> 01:06:23.679 rates really low in this trailer and stuff like that. But I think that's 1003 01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:27.320 it's gonna be dark anyway. Yeah right, yeah, you're not gonna see 1004 01:06:27.320 --> 01:06:30.280 those frames. It is. Who's making it, I can't remember sab right. 1005 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:34.719 Yeah, okay, so I'm hopeful. I'm very hopeful. All right, 1006 01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:39.880 what do we have next? Zenless Zone zero? Who's the freak for 1007 01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:42.280 this one? Oh? You know who the freak is for this one? 1008 01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:48.079 This is uh, this next game. And they have a tendency to take 1009 01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:50.639 something that some one else did and put their own spin. You know. 1010 01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:56.840 Genshin was obviously against an Impact looked like Breath of a Wild in many ways, 1011 01:06:56.840 --> 01:06:59.800 but it was sort of like an open world RPG, and then home 1012 01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:04.920 k Star Rail is their take on Persona very obviously. Zeendless Zone zero is 1013 01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:10.800 this game that is a character action game, allegedly. I don't know. 1014 01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:14.199 I still know if this game is real. This is wild. I follow 1015 01:07:14.280 --> 01:07:16.320 their Twitter account. It Yeah, people have played it. It's been at 1016 01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:20.760 eventsives at packs East, and like this game exists in some form, but 1017 01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:25.840 they keep just not giving us a date and everything. It's very odd, 1018 01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:29.159 but I don't know. Like I mentioned, character action games are so few 1019 01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:31.960 and far between that anytime we get one that looks solid and died pop off 1020 01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:38.639 and you'll look at this one like the anime like cells shaded ish style that's 1021 01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:41.639 going for another thing. It just looks cool, and that's the sort of 1022 01:07:41.639 --> 01:07:45.320 overst over the top silliness you want in a character action game. So I 1023 01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:47.840 think this is you want to play as the mad girl or the big actual 1024 01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:54.079 bear person in a suit. I think he's a wolf island. Know the 1025 01:07:54.199 --> 01:07:57.079 characters are wild, trust me. There's an actually there's a there's a wolf, 1026 01:07:57.079 --> 01:07:59.440 but there is also an actual bear. Okay, this might be a 1027 01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:05.119 mad girl. There are three yeah, more specific. Yeah, I really 1028 01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:12.639 just I just I wish this was just going to be a regular video game 1029 01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:18.680 though, Like like I have, I have such a an antithetical stance on 1030 01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:23.199 the way that they monetize these video games. Yeah, I know that I 1031 01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:27.199 can't eat. I can't even get started on them. So like if it 1032 01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:33.159 was sixty dollars and then I didn't have to pay anything, yeah money, 1033 01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:38.840 right, Yeah, it's not going to be that, which is a bummer, 1034 01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:40.960 So I just don't touch it. I'll look at it from afar. 1035 01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:45.960 I I'll read a story that's like I bet my whole house and my kids 1036 01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:53.560 Porsche on this. Yeah, that's the problem I there. I hate that 1037 01:08:53.560 --> 01:08:57.119 they're gotcha games because I know Mike's the same way where it's like, oh 1038 01:08:57.159 --> 01:09:01.319 gotcha, therefore I won't play it. But I can't emphasis emphasize this enough. 1039 01:09:01.960 --> 01:09:05.079 You just never have to touch that stuff. You never have to touch 1040 01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:08.880 that stuff, even like you have to go out of your way a little 1041 01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:12.840 bit to see it. But I understand people being like, but I know 1042 01:09:12.920 --> 01:09:15.840 it's there, and it's like it's on the menu. I'm not just going 1043 01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:19.199 like necessarily that, but like, but it's also the scum baggery I know 1044 01:09:19.319 --> 01:09:24.920 of it all is like it's not even that like Honkai Starrail. I just 1045 01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:28.359 don't want that kind of game to be a live service game. I want 1046 01:09:28.359 --> 01:09:30.079 that to be something where it's like, okay, I know, like where 1047 01:09:30.119 --> 01:09:34.359 the end is sure and I move on my life. I think about that 1048 01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:41.079 person there's a Persona mobile game, right that's very star sorry, right, 1049 01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:44.319 okay? Is that what that is? Okay? And it like would you 1050 01:09:44.319 --> 01:09:46.600 guys really want But it's like the literal Persona game coming out, yeah you 1051 01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:53.359 know, I mean literally x yes exactly, and that that is going to 1052 01:09:53.359 --> 01:09:56.439 be live service, right, and it's gonna be it's gonna be like, 1053 01:09:56.439 --> 01:09:58.760 well, yeah, that's interested in it, right, yeah. Yeah. 1054 01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:01.159 And that's the thing I have no problem because I'm like, there's just gonna 1055 01:10:01.159 --> 01:10:03.880 be a story there that I'm gonna play. It's a cannon persona story. 1056 01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:08.880 It's gonna play like persona. And like, I'm sure the story is coming 1057 01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:12.279 out in chapters effectively, what's gonna happen? Like, I don't know, 1058 01:10:13.159 --> 01:10:16.279 your heart will also harden turbo Sean, you will not be able to This 1059 01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:20.359 is hilarious. On any given week when I'm on this show, people go 1060 01:10:20.399 --> 01:10:24.439 from being like Sean is the most jaded person on earth, because why is 1061 01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:30.680 Sean not more shaded? It's a swing so wildt next one. I'm excited 1062 01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:33.439 about that. I you know, this one's a rumor for me, so 1063 01:10:33.520 --> 01:10:36.039 hey, take it with the greatest salt. I suppose. But I hear 1064 01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:41.640 that that new Astrobot game later this year, I really hope as well. 1065 01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:46.680 Please. I am also willing myself to get my hopes up that it will 1066 01:10:46.720 --> 01:10:50.119 be a full, real, real game game, which they haven't done with 1067 01:10:50.159 --> 01:10:53.840 astro so far, other than I guess the VR game, which also I 1068 01:10:53.880 --> 01:10:57.079 think that's a caveat of its own, as far as a caveat, and 1069 01:10:57.119 --> 01:11:00.800 I don't want a caveat anyeah, No, not at all. But Astro 1070 01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:03.880 Rules that you know they did, you know Astro's Playroom as a launch thing 1071 01:11:03.960 --> 01:11:10.560 with the PS five and so good. It's great at the museum, it's 1072 01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:13.439 great as a fun game. It's it's great as the speed run game where 1073 01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:16.000 I'm actually showing one of Mike Manatti's a speed run from Mountain Run here. 1074 01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:21.359 Yes, And it's like simple where there's not a ton of different mechanics, 1075 01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:26.640 and yet it's just so satisfying and you feel good moving around the world, 1076 01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:29.000 so that as a three D platformer, it just nails what it meats to 1077 01:11:29.079 --> 01:11:31.079 nail, and then it gives you a ton of fun stuff happening around you. 1078 01:11:31.199 --> 01:11:33.079 Yeah, I really like that. Man, Mike, you were twenty 1079 01:11:33.079 --> 01:11:34.720 first in the world when you did that one. I went by. At 1080 01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:39.640 one point, I wasn't the top ten the best I got and then uh, 1081 01:11:39.640 --> 01:11:42.000 I think by the end of it you you were, you were better 1082 01:11:42.039 --> 01:11:44.319 than me. You did beat me at that point, I beat you though. 1083 01:11:44.359 --> 01:11:46.720 That was all I cared about then. But right next name Astro's Playroom, 1084 01:11:46.840 --> 01:11:54.000 Playroom, Mountain Run, better than Jeff Grubb is the name of that's 1085 01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:58.760 very good. Uh, Metroid Prime to remaster. God, I hope so 1086 01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:02.439 yes, that listen, why wouldn't they do that? I just don't exactly 1087 01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:05.920 like, but there's a bunch of stuff, but it's time is weird specifically 1088 01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:09.920 because we're wondering, well, what is filling out this year and we're expecting 1089 01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:13.600 it to be kind of remix and remasters. Yeah, they did one remaster. 1090 01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:16.840 They have to be considering a second one, right for sure. I 1091 01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:20.119 think that we did consider it. And it's like something that I've heard was 1092 01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:24.840 basically ready to go. But it's Nintendo. They have things that they put 1093 01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:27.920 on their shelf and maybe sometimes they don't pull them down. I actually I 1094 01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:31.680 don't know, like what is the energy required to like pull one of these 1095 01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:33.840 projects down off the shelf and be like, Okay, now it's ready to 1096 01:12:33.840 --> 01:12:35.399 go. And when I say shelf, that's not like, oh, we've 1097 01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:38.880 iced the project and it's not in the works. It's like, no, 1098 01:12:38.880 --> 01:12:41.960 they finished it and they're waiting for the right time to put it out. 1099 01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:45.760 Does it like require an effort at that point or is it literally a switch 1100 01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:47.279 they can flip and be like now that is out. And if it's not 1101 01:12:47.399 --> 01:12:50.279 that, maybe sometimes they were like, oh, well we've changed our mind. 1102 01:12:50.319 --> 01:12:53.560 We're going to hold onto that for a little year or something like that. 1103 01:12:53.680 --> 01:13:00.800 Do you think that it even makes sense for them to Well, I've 1104 01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:03.520 talked myself into it, but I'll say it outside. I was gonna say, 1105 01:13:03.560 --> 01:13:08.640 does it make sense if because I don't think Metrod Prime four is coming 1106 01:13:09.239 --> 01:13:12.560 this year. I think it comes next year. So do you does it 1107 01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:15.760 make sense for them to put it out at the end of or in the 1108 01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:19.359 summer, like drop it in the summer, because I'm just trying to think 1109 01:13:19.399 --> 01:13:23.720 that, Like, I feel like you launch the switch with Metrod Prime four, 1110 01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:28.600 it's the switch to you with Metrod Prime four. But then I wouldn't 1111 01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:32.039 then put that game out in the fall and then give it three ish months, 1112 01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:36.239 assuming like a spring release for the switch. I think at this point 1113 01:13:36.279 --> 01:13:42.159 you just put it out whenever. Really the first one, Yeah, just 1114 01:13:42.560 --> 01:13:45.319 like fill in a gap. That's what's more about, is that there are 1115 01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:48.560 going to be some droughts here on the switch. Probably you gotta plug those 1116 01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:53.760 holes. It's right, it's a Nintendo's a whole plugging company. That's their 1117 01:13:53.800 --> 01:13:58.479 main that's they fill holes. Man, I forgot about this one Metal Gear 1118 01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:01.119 Solid Delta Snake. Yeah, what fucked me up? Is when I looked 1119 01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:05.199 at a list preparing for this, apparently they're saying this is twenty twenty four, 1120 01:14:05.640 --> 01:14:09.199 right, they did, right, there was that trailer I thought where 1121 01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:12.319 it just said twenty four four. I forgot about that. I just I 1122 01:14:12.399 --> 01:14:16.199 just have no idea what to really expect from twenty twenty four Konami. Yeah, 1123 01:14:16.439 --> 01:14:19.720 I like, right, they have no I have no reason to believe 1124 01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:23.239 that this video game is going to be good. Right, Well, that's 1125 01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:29.119 the thing Hill two also this year. Jesus, yes, they that's almost 1126 01:14:29.119 --> 01:14:31.840 one of the controversy of this game is that's going to be so much of 1127 01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:36.760 just the original game, new graphics. It's the original game, Unreal Engine 1128 01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:41.560 four, Slash five, whatever may be. Maybe that's the move if like 1129 01:14:41.760 --> 01:14:45.920 you don't have like a really super strong development team to like go in there 1130 01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:48.600 and try to reimagine things. Uh sure, then just putting that layer over 1131 01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:53.399 it does make sense in some ways. But like there are certain things like 1132 01:14:53.399 --> 01:14:57.279 like the fight with with with the end of the Sniper Guy right, like 1133 01:14:57.560 --> 01:14:59.840 as a PS two game, so it took place this big map, but 1134 01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:02.159 is three separate loading areas for that to work? Like, are they going 1135 01:15:02.199 --> 01:15:08.000 to be able to like change that at least, like like there must be 1136 01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:13.159 some things there's going to change. Where's the line going to be? I? 1137 01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:17.920 Yeah, I don't know. I also feel like I have gross feelings 1138 01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:24.680 I think about them you doing this game without Like I understand that Konami owns 1139 01:15:24.720 --> 01:15:30.039 smell of gear solid, but like it feels gross that they're making this game 1140 01:15:30.119 --> 01:15:34.159 a little bit to me. I don't know. We'll see, but Revolver 1141 01:15:34.199 --> 01:15:39.840 also does do cool spinny gun shit in this game. That part is pretty 1142 01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:41.680 good, you know. I'm looking at the strump like, yeah, this 1143 01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:44.800 looks good. And man, a Snake Eater is one of the best games 1144 01:15:44.800 --> 01:15:46.680 ever, so there's no reason why this shouldn't be good. But I still 1145 01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:51.760 am just like I am skeptical for some reason. All right, So that 1146 01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:56.000 does it for our most anticipated games that might come out. That leaves us 1147 01:15:56.039 --> 01:16:00.279 with a handful of games in the long shot, and I'm good in at 1148 01:16:00.279 --> 01:16:04.800 one of them. Yeah, who could say for me? This is Metroy 1149 01:16:04.800 --> 01:16:10.319 Prime four. Metry Prime four is a thing for you, Thank you. 1150 01:16:10.399 --> 01:16:14.800 It is a jpeg and that's it, like we've only ever seen and that 1151 01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:19.960 was a jpeg that got rebooted and they started development jpeg in twenty seventeen, 1152 01:16:20.079 --> 01:16:24.359 I think, and then they restarted development. I think it was a full 1153 01:16:24.520 --> 01:16:29.319 five years ago now when they restarted development, so that you know, that's 1154 01:16:29.359 --> 01:16:31.880 almost enough time to put out a game. Two games, almost enough time 1155 01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:35.359 to do that, and they haven't put out one yet. That's going to 1156 01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:40.680 be twice as big. That's my hope. The reason I think this makes 1157 01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:43.640 sense is I think it's a game. They announced the switch game, so 1158 01:16:43.640 --> 01:16:45.199 I think part of them is like, we have to put it out as 1159 01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:48.159 a switch game can be cross gym, across gin and stuff like that, 1160 01:16:48.199 --> 01:16:54.800 and I think it's it probably is getting pretty close to being ready, but 1161 01:16:55.000 --> 01:16:58.960 it's Nintendo, and I think the final point there is like, hey, 1162 01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:02.119 switch to long game. I get that Metroid does not play for them in 1163 01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:05.560 that way. I don't think that doesn't mean it can't do like do something 1164 01:17:05.600 --> 01:17:09.560 for him, but Metroy just doesn't sell in the way they would want it 1165 01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:13.119 to, I think. But you know, but it's like as like a 1166 01:17:14.239 --> 01:17:17.840 one two because what because Mario came out Zelda launched with it, right, 1167 01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:20.720 and then Mario came out a couple of weeks later. No, it came 1168 01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:26.840 out a good deal later by the year the end of the year, so 1169 01:17:27.840 --> 01:17:30.279 it's like six months. Yeah, but this doesn't need to be the launch 1170 01:17:30.319 --> 01:17:33.279 game. That's going to be the Mario game. I still think you having 1171 01:17:33.279 --> 01:17:39.279 a Metro Prime four is a very good thing for your launch lineup. And 1172 01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:43.439 I think that takes you a lot. Yeah, you know, you know, 1173 01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:47.159 no, no, no, why why? Why? Why is it 1174 01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:55.079 a good launch game because people like Metroid and people like Metroid Oh my god, 1175 01:17:55.279 --> 01:17:58.159 oh just go to the game doesn't sell more than five million copies, 1176 01:17:58.199 --> 01:18:02.279 it doesn't matter, don't more in two million copies, Michael, it will 1177 01:18:02.319 --> 01:18:06.359 sell two million copies, and that's good. Yeah. So I think for 1178 01:18:06.520 --> 01:18:09.920 Nintendo, the way they would look at it is the last time they did 1179 01:18:09.920 --> 01:18:12.479 that. Now, to be fair, it was Metroy Prime Hunters. The 1180 01:18:12.600 --> 01:18:15.159 last time they did that it was the DS, and that was a kind 1181 01:18:15.199 --> 01:18:17.680 of a little bit of a tough launch for them where it wasn't his power 1182 01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:23.000 popular right away and Metroy didn't do him any favors when they launched that device. 1183 01:18:23.039 --> 01:18:26.279 So I think I thought that DS had a good launch the three D 1184 01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:30.359 had. The three D had a disastrous launch, but I think the DS 1185 01:18:30.399 --> 01:18:32.720 had a slow start. No, Nintendo always does. They always have light 1186 01:18:32.840 --> 01:18:36.600 launches. It's like the Switch did not have a good launch at a good 1187 01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:41.840 launch year. There was no Metroid launch game in the DS. It came 1188 01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:45.960 with the demo for Metro Hunters come out there. It was a year later, 1189 01:18:45.119 --> 01:18:47.039 a year later, year later. Jeezus, okay, so I am 1190 01:18:47.039 --> 01:18:50.680 thinking of the demo then launched. I played that demo a lot. Yeah, 1191 01:18:50.720 --> 01:18:53.680 I played the demo so much that it did feel like the game to 1192 01:18:53.720 --> 01:18:56.840 me. Yes, I guess My point is like, yeah, not, 1193 01:18:57.119 --> 01:18:59.600 you know, you need launch games that aren't just the ones that are going 1194 01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:03.039 to solve twenty million copies, right like, otherwise they would just release Mario 1195 01:19:03.199 --> 01:19:05.920 and nothing else. You do have to have other marquee things you have. 1196 01:19:06.039 --> 01:19:13.439 But that's historically what they do, is my point. I mean, there 1197 01:19:13.479 --> 01:19:16.079 are other things in that launch window, like an arms or you know, 1198 01:19:16.159 --> 01:19:19.279 Mario Kart. Obviously that is a very big deal. Well, I guess 1199 01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:24.680 what are you defined as launched? They launch their clips or things. But 1200 01:19:24.760 --> 01:19:27.760 yeah, even literally the launch of the system, there are other things than 1201 01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:30.279 just one big game usually. But yeah, I'm just saying I don't say 1202 01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:33.439 there's a big marquee game, but I don't think it's good. I don't 1203 01:19:33.439 --> 01:19:38.479 think it launches with the system because I just don't think that makes sense for 1204 01:19:38.640 --> 01:19:42.960 how they see Metrod. But you know, we love Metrod all, we 1205 01:19:43.079 --> 01:19:46.800 all love metroight, it's phenomenal series. Nintendo doesn't give a flying fuck about 1206 01:19:46.840 --> 01:19:51.239 Metrod at all whatsoever, and so I think they but they know that they 1207 01:19:51.239 --> 01:19:54.960 are aware that They're like, yeah, whatever, it's this little thing, 1208 01:19:55.199 --> 01:19:58.840 and so I do think they're going to maximize it, which is why I'm 1209 01:19:58.880 --> 01:20:01.319 like, it doesn't have it to do anything with the switch to. And 1210 01:20:01.560 --> 01:20:04.960 obviously this is just speculation, But when it is speculation, I think you 1211 01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:10.119 need to look at patterns, and the pattern is that they would release this 1212 01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:13.840 on the switch one and then maybe there's an up day later, because we 1213 01:20:13.880 --> 01:20:16.640 all know how they're handling switch games on switch to. But we already have 1214 01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:23.319 a relatively recent example of this with Sam's Returns three DS game in the launch 1215 01:20:23.479 --> 01:20:27.680 year of the switch I just I don't see them changing their plans, which, 1216 01:20:27.720 --> 01:20:30.960 as we know, is what we know right now is this is a 1217 01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:33.840 switch one game. We don't know anything. To the contrary, I just 1218 01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:39.840 don't see them deviating and adding more work if necessary to get run. The 1219 01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:42.760 difference there is if it's not ready. If it's not ready and it's like 1220 01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:45.199 it's going to take a full other year of development, then I think they 1221 01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:47.560 would probably be like, okay, let's put I mean, I know with 1222 01:20:47.680 --> 01:20:53.520 Sam's Returns that they put it on the three DS despite the switch being right 1223 01:20:53.560 --> 01:20:56.319 there. But I think they also learned some lessons from those games where like 1224 01:20:56.359 --> 01:21:00.399 those games, the games in that window, and that's why I'm out about 1225 01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:04.039 the patterns. But ultimately this is one this game Devil's Advocate. We don't 1226 01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:08.880 know how this game releases. This game could be vapor aware, but you 1227 01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:12.319 know, just we is such a big question mark of what the switch to 1228 01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:15.079 is going to be and how they handle backwards compatibility. So I don't know, 1229 01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:17.199 We'll say, I guess I will see. Metro four is kind of 1230 01:21:17.199 --> 01:21:20.640 being like the Red Steel, Right, They're gonna one have one game that's 1231 01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:24.640 like, yeah, look, also our system is pretty or the Metroid Prime 1232 01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:28.960 three even right, because metroy Prime three did launch and it's not pure launch. 1233 01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:33.279 It was launch window on the seven. Yeah, so liked it was 1234 01:21:33.359 --> 01:21:35.560 it was like or was it eight? Yeah, it was like a year 1235 01:21:35.720 --> 01:21:40.960 or two later it was a decent amount later, it wasn't. From that 1236 01:21:41.079 --> 01:21:45.760 perspective though, Mike, wouldn't you then put out I think Sean is convinced 1237 01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:50.359 me because wouldn't you even put out, uh, the Metroid Prime two remaster 1238 01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:54.960 and have that be as shiny and glossy as possible? No, because you 1239 01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:58.760 could have put that much into the metroc Prime. Yeah, Metro Prime three 1240 01:21:58.800 --> 01:22:01.479 are probably gonna be a little bit less glossy Prime one. From the little 1241 01:22:01.479 --> 01:22:05.520 we've heard about that run, it's gonna be a lot simpler than it came 1242 01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:09.079 out like a year later. It was like August two thousand and seven. 1243 01:22:09.359 --> 01:22:13.000 Yeah, Metroprimeter. So I don't run. I mean, honestly, it's 1244 01:22:13.039 --> 01:22:15.840 not even necessarily about it being a launcht or not for to switch. It 1245 01:22:15.960 --> 01:22:17.159 is just but I do think it's a switch to game. That's it. 1246 01:22:19.000 --> 01:22:24.359 Thanks, And things could just work out that way for sure, but maybe 1247 01:22:24.520 --> 01:22:27.279 maybe still switch this year. I listen, that was their big game this 1248 01:22:27.279 --> 01:22:29.479 holiday. I think that makes a ton of sense. I actually think that 1249 01:22:29.640 --> 01:22:31.520 makes the most sense more than having it be a switch to launch game, 1250 01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:36.039 which I know that's the main point you disagree round, Yeah, all right, 1251 01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:41.119 we're crossing that one off Final Fantasy nine remake. Do you think there's 1252 01:22:41.119 --> 01:22:45.880 a chance that comes out this year? Probably not, Probably not a long 1253 01:22:45.880 --> 01:22:50.560 shot, very charity do a Final Fantasy this year, something that's never stopped 1254 01:22:50.640 --> 01:22:54.960 him before, and we're getting an expanse for fourteen. Yeah, lots of 1255 01:22:54.960 --> 01:23:00.520 Final Fantasies already, but you know there's I guess the the reason I have 1256 01:23:00.560 --> 01:23:03.880 some hope is because Yoship, when talking about Dontreu and all the Fantasy nine 1257 01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:06.920 reps, is being like, there's a reason for that that I can't say, 1258 01:23:08.600 --> 01:23:12.319 and I think maybe that's being overblown. The reason could just be because 1259 01:23:12.520 --> 01:23:15.760 of some plot point in that expansion, but maybe it's because the fan Fantasy 1260 01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:23.000 nine remake is much sooner than we're expecting. Who knows? And then, 1261 01:23:23.079 --> 01:23:26.800 what does that look like to you? Final Fantasy nine remake? How ambitious 1262 01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:30.359 I think it's about. I think it's probably more like what I am expecting 1263 01:23:30.399 --> 01:23:33.039 for say, Mettle Gear Solid Delta. I think it is more than graphical 1264 01:23:33.119 --> 01:23:36.840 update with some nice quality of life stuff and hopefully some things expanded. One 1265 01:23:36.880 --> 01:23:41.439 of the problems with nine is that a lot of the kind of party members' 1266 01:23:41.640 --> 01:23:44.720 plot lines get really diminished and they don't have a whole lot to do, 1267 01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:48.119 as the last half or even third of the game really just becomes super zedane 1268 01:23:48.159 --> 01:23:50.680 focused. So that would be nice, But I don't think it's not gonna 1269 01:23:50.720 --> 01:23:55.840 be like remake or seven remake right where it's like a different combat engine. 1270 01:23:56.000 --> 01:23:59.600 They took like the first city of the game, it turned that into a 1271 01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:01.600 game all its own. No, it won't be like that. This will 1272 01:24:01.600 --> 01:24:04.399 be one. It'll be like Crisis Core. It'll be like that Crisis Core. 1273 01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:08.479 Be more than that. It'll be a lot more than that it was. 1274 01:24:09.000 --> 01:24:11.600 How would it be more that Christis Carey make is just like everything all 1275 01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:15.880 the graphic assets are swapped out. It'll be that's more like Persona three reload 1276 01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:20.560 where they actually add stuff and even then, like, yeah, they updated 1277 01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:25.079 the graphics. Game, it's not like they made it look like PHAs seven 1278 01:24:25.119 --> 01:24:29.439 rebirth right. They made it a game that's gonna run the switch sus glows. 1279 01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:30.840 It was pretty close to remake. Its pretty good. Yeah, like 1280 01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:38.039 literally uses some models and stuff. Facy nine remake will run on Switch one. 1281 01:24:38.039 --> 01:24:41.079 How about that? Yeah, I mean that switch to exclusive. He's 1282 01:24:41.079 --> 01:24:46.319 saying it title launch title, I've got to you, guys are not ready 1283 01:24:46.319 --> 01:24:54.319 for the glitting. I'm gonna we will never be able to prepare myself for 1284 01:24:54.359 --> 01:24:59.560 that. All right? And then finally someone wrote down here Ridge Racer. 1285 01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:01.720 Yeah, I mean, I know used to not have any hope for this, 1286 01:25:01.760 --> 01:25:04.439 But Jeff, you've been doing You've been talking about this so much and 1287 01:25:04.520 --> 01:25:08.840 been doing so much research into what's going on with the future of Ridge Racer. 1288 01:25:08.880 --> 01:25:11.760 Maybe you could tell us right now if we should bump this up to 1289 01:25:12.079 --> 01:25:15.239 game that might be coming out instead of anticipated long Shot. I think long 1290 01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:17.960 Shot is the right category four. And that's the reason one of the reasons 1291 01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:21.760 I'm so tired. Clearly, I'm in a parking garages meeting with sources, 1292 01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:26.680 a lot of deep throats who are out there finding out about Ridge Racer farming. 1293 01:25:26.720 --> 01:25:29.880 Don't you worry about about that? The Ridge Racer deep throats are very 1294 01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:32.600 informative. Listen, when I have something to say, you will be the 1295 01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:35.680 first to know. Okay, I appreciate that. Yeah, of course, 1296 01:25:36.800 --> 01:25:41.840 all right, anything else any games that we forgot? Chat you want to 1297 01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:45.560 throw anything else out while we start wrapping up. But I guess then overall, 1298 01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:47.279 like, how are y'all feeling about the end of the year because right 1299 01:25:47.399 --> 01:25:50.159 with this list, I'm like, that's decent. That's enough for me. 1300 01:25:50.960 --> 01:25:54.520 Yeah, it should be fine. The first part of this year has been 1301 01:25:54.520 --> 01:26:00.479 so crazy already legitimately and actually that like I feel like it'll whatever comes out 1302 01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:03.520 like that Eldering DLC. We didn't even talk about that. Yeah, which 1303 01:26:05.720 --> 01:26:11.920 Vengeance. Yeah, there's still there's still so much stuff. I think it 1304 01:26:11.960 --> 01:26:16.000 will continue to be a good year for video games coming out but not getting 1305 01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:21.760 made, you know. Yea and Chronicles is happening. Sure, that's creed 1306 01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:26.119 read probably this fall. I think it's one of those financial quarter things, 1307 01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:30.159 so it might be early twenty five. Also not sure. Sure, I 1308 01:26:30.199 --> 01:26:31.600 don't know what to expect from Home World three. I wonder they're like going 1309 01:26:31.640 --> 01:26:34.159 to come back and like it's going to be like great or if it's like 1310 01:26:34.199 --> 01:26:38.079 a disappointment, doesn't hit like it used to. I don't know. Yep, 1311 01:26:38.079 --> 01:26:40.880 it could go either way for me. I really don't know as well. 1312 01:26:42.880 --> 01:26:45.960 And then of course it's a dragon Ball sparking zero. It's all anyone's 1313 01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:55.640 talking about. Time for another Mario party, nah, probably in a world 1314 01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:58.840 where they released four of them for the GameCube over of course of yeah, 1315 01:26:58.840 --> 01:27:00.520 but we're not in that anymore, not in that world anymore. We're in 1316 01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:03.800 the world where they were released one game per franchise. But then they did 1317 01:27:04.119 --> 01:27:11.039 they had the retro throwback one, which I forgot about. Yeah, the 1318 01:27:11.079 --> 01:27:14.760 Switch is such a long lifespan that theorecically they could, yeah, just pop 1319 01:27:14.840 --> 01:27:16.439 one of those out later in the year. That probably won't be as good 1320 01:27:16.520 --> 01:27:21.640 as Superstars, all right, I think with that in mind, it's time 1321 01:27:21.720 --> 01:27:27.000 to wrap this up. I can probably hit that button. But hey, 1322 01:27:27.079 --> 01:27:30.039 any plants for the weekend? Anyone have anything fun happening now? Yes, 1323 01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:31.479 that I had to begin the show, we ignored you. Then well, 1324 01:27:31.520 --> 01:27:39.359 I'm moving, so not fun in the weekend. But I am moving. 1325 01:27:40.520 --> 01:27:47.880 Oh where are you moving? My address? Can you give us your security 1326 01:27:48.800 --> 01:27:56.640 security numbers numbers here? Nine? Eight? Yeah, No, I am 1327 01:27:56.680 --> 01:27:59.880 moving. So that's that's exciting? Or is it because I hate moving? 1328 01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:03.680 I had owned an anything amped to be moving dreading the move. I haven't 1329 01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:10.680 seen the totality of the things that I own since November of twenty twenty two, 1330 01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:14.199 so like because it's just been in a storage cube that is going to 1331 01:28:14.199 --> 01:28:16.159 get dropped off at my new place. So I'm like, I just ken't 1332 01:28:16.159 --> 01:28:19.319 p're moving to Ohio with us? Fine, I know, I'm really yeah, 1333 01:28:19.319 --> 01:28:23.680 I'm excited to be in the path of totality. That's gonna be sure 1334 01:28:24.439 --> 01:28:30.760 that Hello. All right, well you all keep living in your own path 1335 01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:33.119 of totality. We're gonna get out of here. More giant bomb stuff on 1336 01:28:33.159 --> 01:28:36.560 the website, on YouTube, we'll have plenty of stuff next week. Look 1337 01:28:36.600 --> 01:28:40.960 out for them. Until then, they'll everyone have a good one, take 1338 01:28:41.000 --> 01:29:04.079 care of yourself. Goodbye to Japan. The Pertectant
