WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.439 It's the wrong button, Jesse, because I was testing something. It's the 2 00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:18.679 wrong button. It Ryan has no risk. It's the Internet. You're busy. 3 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.719 Let's do this for October second, twenty twenty three. For the next 4 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.480 hour or so, let me help you sort through the world of gaming on 5 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.519 Games Mornings Live with me Jeff Grub Today, PlayStation portal has found some love 6 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.640 in Japan and the switch to might get video games whoo big shock. But 7 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.640 first, please join me. Welcome me today's co host the Games Mornings. 8 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:42.079 It's Jesse don Kabas at Norris. Jesse, how are you doing. I'm 9 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.960 doing very well. We're in the middle of NonStop game release time. It's 10 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:53.039 literally been since the beginning of August. It's just been game after game after 11 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.560 game after game. I could go, I've done like I'm not twelve or 12 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.880 something straight. And right now I'm working on two with a third about to 13 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.119 come in. So I'm very tired. How are you? Yes, also 14 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.640 tired. I was like, I don't really really have any time to play 15 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.599 games this week, and I was I was putting together a gazebo. I 16 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.760 built a gazebo. I finished it. That was nice and it's but it 17 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.959 was like that was I've been working on that the last couple of weekends, 18 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.400 and I really wanted to get it done because we've got some stuff happening here 19 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.159 this next weekend. Uh. And so I spent all the week in doing 20 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.680 that, and that was fresh. I got to the part to the end 21 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.920 where it's like I had to put up there's a curtain on it, and 22 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.319 I had to put the curtain on, and I put it on wrong three 23 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:30.920 times, and then by the end I realized I had it right the first 24 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.239 time. And this thing's like it's a big curtain goes all the way around 25 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.719 the side, so my shoulders are killing me. I'm like lifting up this 26 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.879 entire awkward thing, like I'm bumping my mic right now. And I was 27 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.400 just I was just done. But then I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna 28 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.879 go play some of these review games again. You know, I could say 29 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.640 I got Spider Man, I'm gonna play some Spider Man two and uh. 30 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.280 And I played way more of that than I than even thought I would. 31 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.799 So still making time for games, it's not leaving much time for anything else 32 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.480 I do. I do keep looking at the calendar. October's got a ton 33 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:02.519 of stuff happening. Got the October is maybe the busiest compared in August and 34 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.760 September were relentless. Like I'm doing. I'm doing Assassin's Creed, I finish 35 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.759 Assassin's Creen Mirage. We can say we have that one. Yes, we 36 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.560 can got another one. I just got I've got another one coming in. 37 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.439 Thankfully. I'm happy I don't have to do Spider Man or Super Mario like 38 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:23.439 I'm because just keeping up with just multi plats is possible. Then yeah, 39 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.639 yeah. The month kicks off with lamp Lighters League. There's this guy A 40 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.479 seven, which I'm probably not going to have time for either of those. 41 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.879 I would like to review the Lamplighters League. I gave it a I gave 42 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.919 it a five. I'm sorry, it's really so. It's very good when 43 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.319 it works, except for I played that game about thirty hours, but my 44 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:50.120 save is only ten hours in because it crashed and deleted my progness forty times. 45 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.639 Yep, oh my god. But when it so, I hope. 46 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.520 I'm hoping. They said they're working really hard on patches. I can go 47 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.599 back and try it out again that I don't know when I'll have time, 48 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.680 but when it works, like if it's good on PC. That's a it's 49 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.840 a solid fun game, but on a console right now, a mess yep 50 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.159 War Groove two, Detective Pikachu, Borderlands three's coming to the switch with the 51 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.280 hell Forts a motorsport obviously God Total War Faraoh, there's so and that's like 52 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.120 in the first two weeks, like and we're not even through. Actually it's 53 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.520 on the first ten days. Honestly, reviews on Forts and Assassin's Creed our 54 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.080 Wednesday we get to say yep. So the rare times we get to say 55 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.159 it's annoying, we need to do something about that. Where the bomb cast 56 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.759 is on Tuesday and all these embargoes are on a Wednesday. We'll figure out 57 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.240 something eventually. Everybody, all right, you know, let's get to this 58 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.360 show. By explaining what we do here most weekdays, I, Jeff Greb, 59 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.360 will help piece your gaming life back together. That includes breaking news and 60 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.439 maybe even some of our own original reporting For all these topics, I'll get 61 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.319 the input of a bona fide expert who will make me look smart. If 62 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.680 you were watching live on twitch welcome, you can always listen to the show 63 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.840 later on podcast feeds by searching for game mess mornings or find the RSS on 64 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.599 giant bomb dot com. You can also catch the show later with chapters and 65 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.240 time stamps on YouTube. Hello YouTube. All right, we have a lot 66 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.039 to get into, so let's start the morning mess with Gaming insider says we 67 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.560 will see a lot of multi platforms switch to announcements in the next twelve to 68 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.480 eighteen months. This comes from my Nintendo two's video game insider. Tom Henderson, 69 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.480 who has a good track record when it comes to weeks, has stated 70 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.319 on the social media platform Twitter that Nintendo fans should expect to see a lot 71 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.560 of trailers mentioning launching on Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation five, Nintendo 72 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.439 Switch to, and PC for third party games in the next twelve to eighteen 73 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.920 months. It is not clear when Nintendo is planning to announce it's long awaited 74 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.279 follow up to Nintendo Switch to, the Nintendo Switch family of systems. It 75 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.920 is the thought that the Switch Too will be revealed sometime early next year. 76 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.360 Just for reference, Tom sweet said, really excited for the Nintendo Switch Too, 77 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.199 and it's techs and it's tech we'll see launching on Xbox series. That 78 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:58.519 quote that we just read a second ago, Yeah, yeah, I'm this 79 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.920 is what I'm expecting. I think this is a completely fair I don't think 80 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:02.480 even Tom was trying to go and be like this is a scoop or anything. 81 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.519 I think he's just saying like, yeah, this is what I expect, 82 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.480 and it's what I expect as well. How about you, Jesse. 83 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.399 Yeah. I mean we even heard it, like with Bobby Cottick in ABK 84 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.879 saying like, man, I wish we had put more on the switch and 85 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.360 figure out a way to do that because it's old like crazy, and so 86 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.480 I don't think anyone's gonna want to be left out this time because the text, 87 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.480 you know, at the very least, you can bump down where you 88 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.040 gotta bump down. You can hope the d LSS magic works and you can 89 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.240 get something out, hopefully better than Mortal Kombat one, but you can get 90 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.639 something and then you'll probably have a very large audience to sell it to. 91 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.959 So yep, and people love buying games on these systems at launch, so 92 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.040 if you're there, they have a good chance of getting rewarded for that. 93 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.360 I do wonder if it's going to be like a C change. I imagine 94 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.199 some publishers will be more willing to show up for a switch to than not. 95 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.000 But I don't think EA is gonna be like every game we put out 96 00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.360 is going to be on the switch too. For sure. I bet they 97 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.879 start maybe putting more of their sports games on there. I still doubt like 98 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.040 NHL probably won't come still, but I think maybe everything up to that point 99 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.560 probably would. Yeah, they start doing more cloud stuff, like because I 100 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.600 mean, at least getting it there in some fashion, even if you sell 101 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.920 it a little cheaper. I don't know, Yeah, I don't know. 102 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.680 I mean, at this point, we are late enough in the year that 103 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:29.199 it feels like it would be surprising if we got any sort of like official 104 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.839 confirmation of a next gen switch before the end of twenty twenty three. If 105 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.360 they're gonna do that, I felt like it was probably gonna happen in September. 106 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.680 So we're through September now, so I guess, you know, the 107 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.199 timeline for it probably does look like, yeah, now it's something to investors 108 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.399 or the public and some sort of press release early next year, or you 109 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.839 just go right into it and have it in a big video package and then 110 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:55.839 there is the official like switch to reveal event sort of thing that happens later 111 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.399 and then it probably the system itself almost certainly right now, it feels like 112 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.759 almost certainly launches late next year. What do you think, Yeah, well 113 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.600 they've got to figure out all their their shooting schedules for being on rooftops in 114 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.680 New York for people switch. That's yes exactly. They're gonna have to try 115 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.600 to fight with other companies. Yeah, you get you gotta find the right 116 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:16.519 time of year, so it's you know, it's not too hot, not 117 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:23.079 too cold, pretty tough. Uh, Speaking of Tom Henderson, September did 118 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.720 go by? We never got that that slim slim PS five. Yeah, 119 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.199 what are you think happen there? Maybe turmoil with Jim Leavin. Oh yeah, 120 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:39.079 I'm not sure really because it seems like it has been an open secret 121 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:45.519 for a while having a Slimmer though not particularly slim PS five that doesn't have 122 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.879 a disk drive. But we'll have the ability to add a disk drive to 123 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.279 it, probably like that series X Digital is going to be. You know, 124 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.079 it's hoping. I was, I don't know how you could do it 125 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.240 with the PS five so much to add it on, it's just going to 126 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.279 probably be a wart like it is on the one now. But I was 127 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.199 really hoping they can figure out like a nice fat base for the Series X 128 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.199 and then could it be the shape of a disk work? Yep, that 129 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.120 would yeah, you're rank God, that would be that would work fine, 130 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.959 I think for yeah, sure, I mean obviously, I mean he was. 131 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.360 I think he's been asked about this on social Media's like hey, play 132 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.079 once change and boy do I know that that's how it goes? I you 133 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.480 and I know that quite well. Yes, And it's the kind of thing 134 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.920 where when when when you start thinking about even when he was talking about it 135 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.519 originally, I'm like, yeah, I know that they're working on all these 136 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.039 things like that is not news to me. This is not news. I 137 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.879 don't look it's news to anybody. Sony the hardware company, is looking at 138 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.320 ways to revise their hardware in a number of ways, including a pro console, 139 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.600 including a Slim, including new ways of like having a disk drive separate. 140 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:46.879 Okay, that's that one's kind of news. But but yeah, okay 141 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.879 whatever R At this point, it hasn't been announced, doesn't seem like it's 142 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.600 coming this year. I wonder if they're looking at it and they're like, 143 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.879 what if we put out a Slim next year? We actually don't ever do 144 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.840 the pro one of the like change up their plans a little bit, because 145 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.559 I wonder if they went up to developers and publishers and we're like, hey, 146 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.480 do you want a pro And I wonder if they like games are selling 147 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.679 fine the place they should five is selling fine, We don't. We don't 148 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.799 need another headache of yet another skew to to build games for. And this 149 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.759 is gonna make it more annoying to like build games that scale down because they're 150 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.200 they're gonna scalow it up to this PS five pro. I don't know. 151 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.039 I wonder if they're completely rethinking all that. And that's how I felt from 152 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.440 the beginning of this. It's like, all this stuff definitely in the works, 153 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.039 but I don't think like there's no guarantee that we see any of these 154 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.200 things. I suppose the one that I always felt strongly and most strongly about 155 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.240 that we would see is the SLIM So yeah, I don't know. They 156 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.000 probably still put that thing out, but maybe it's sometime next year instead. 157 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.879 Yeah. There, I think with them moving more and more to PC for 158 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.759 everything, their pro model can just get a nice PC like we It's what 159 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.200 Microsoft. Microsoft is at the well, we've got the strongest plat you know 160 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.039 thing. But also all of our games are on PC. If you really 161 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.720 want to push four K, right they I have a one twenty. You 162 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.759 can just build a PC and then you can get everything exact, even get 163 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.879 switch games. If you're a filthy pirate. Yes, exactly, dirty dirty, 164 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:13.360 dirty boys out there. Let's see twit. Twitch Chet says the reason 165 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.120 it's because Slim Jim left. Thank you, squid dress. That makes that 166 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.240 makes sense why we didn't get the slim all right, let's see here. 167 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:26.720 Leeker says Capcom is preparing Monster Hunter six for for a Nintendo Switch to US. 168 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.320 Is from my Nintendo News. More rumors are circulating today regarding Nintendo's long 169 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:37.320 awaited successor to Nintendo Switch. Following far Christ seven, Nintendo Universe editor Necrolipe 170 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.960 now says that Capcom is preparing the next game, dubbed Monster hundred six for 171 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.879 the new Nintendo systems, alongside the PlayStation five and Xbox series X and S. 172 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.519 It's not difficult to believe the latest rumors. Monster Hunter games have always 173 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.919 performed well financially for Capcom on Nintendo systems. We might know no more soon. 174 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.960 Yeah, listen, I This kind of goes hand in hand with that 175 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.039 last story. Next generation games are going to start getting announced for all those 176 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.480 next gen systems as well as the Switch too. And yeah, I could 177 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.799 see that happening with Monster hundred six, probably going to be Muster Hunter World 178 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.960 two, right, that's actually what that's going to be. Us on the 179 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.759 others, it would most likely be World. Yeah, And I don't necessarily 180 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.960 think that that is going to happen where one Monster Hunter World two comes to 181 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.480 the Switch, at least maybe not right away. That could be the kind 182 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.120 of thing where it's like, hey, that comes later when when they're ready. 183 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.360 But I don't know, maybe the Nintendo's getting out ahead of this. 184 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.600 I know they have a good relationship with Capcom. Maybe this does happen. 185 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.200 I don't know where do you land on it? Man, It's tough because 186 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.720 like Rise was just Switch and then came to everything else. Was switching PCC, 187 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.480 switching PC, and then it came to everything else. Yeah, and 188 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.799 it came to game Pass at launch on Xbox two, which was cool, 189 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.279 and then they got the expansion out for it pretty quickly. So I am 190 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.759 curious if they are because Capcom, much like a lot of the publishers now 191 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.039 is like man multiplant, right, we should just put our stuff everywhere. 192 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.120 They They're mostly running the same architecture, which is mostly just a PC, 193 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.519 so yeah, we should get our stuff everywhere we can. And for that 194 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.639 series, it's synonymous with Nintendo products. So if there's a way to have 195 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:22.240 their next big Monster Hunter just be everywhere, especially if they could get any 196 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.000 type of you know, cross platform multiplayer stuff going, because I know they 197 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.840 got that in with Exoprimal, like that could be really big. I could 198 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.480 see why they would want to try and do it this time. Yes, 199 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.360 definitely, it's it's something that makes sense. I don't know, because it's 200 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.279 it makes enough sense, then I think they probably would make the effort to 201 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.399 get it ready to go right away. I think they have Capcom's going to 202 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.720 have faith in the Switch to the Switch follow up. But it's like, 203 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.080 you know, it seems like their plan was, hey, Rise could be 204 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.159 for the switch and World can be for this. But if the Switch too 205 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.879 is powerful enough, why of course you would throw that out the window, 206 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.559 because the World being on the Switch would mean significantly more sales, not just 207 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.200 a nice to have, it would be a this would be incredible to have 208 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.759 level of sales. That's that's how big the Monster Hunter audience is on on 209 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.000 Switch, not like it's small in the other platforms. It's huge on both 210 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.399 now at this point, both Xbox and especially PlayStation, but that Switch would 211 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.919 really push it above the top. I think Rise before it was on, 212 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.600 before it got went to everywhere everywhere, Rise being on the Switch and PC 213 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.519 sold about as well as A World did on PC, Xbox and PlayStation. 214 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.159 So it's like that that that right there kind of shows you. It's like 215 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.279 it's almost equivalent to the other consoles on its own when it comes to Monster 216 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:46.519 Hunter Beyond Beyond this, like do you think Resident Evil nine or the next 217 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.159 remake? Do you think that's ready to go for like a switch to Man, 218 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.159 I don't they. It's tough. It's always tough to tell with some 219 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:01.120 of the Southeast Asian publishers just where they're going to decide to put something. 220 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.360 I get the feeling more and more that the more areas they can get it 221 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.200 to, the happier they are. But there have been some some head scratchers 222 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.480 in the past year. It's like, I wonder why this didn't come out 223 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.279 there? So I would I would still be of the mind that I think 224 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.960 they want to, but not if it will compromise anything. But with even 225 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.639 if it was any before remake, I mean that was on PS four, 226 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.440 which you know allows you to then pretty easily get it onto the iPhone for 227 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.480 sixty bucks. So it's another thing where I think they want to, but 228 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.679 I just I don't know because it hasn't happened before, so there's no like, 229 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.840 there's no precedent to say, oh, yeah, they'll definitely do it. 230 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:45.000 So yeah, Village ever go there? No? Uh well, yeah, 231 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.200 but which one there was a stream of cloud? Yeah, it was 232 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.840 there a cloud one? Was that the cloud one? That might be right, 233 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.960 I think, because I don't think remake did because remakes they make was 234 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.840 PS four series and PS five. It actually didn't have an Xbox One version 235 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.879 because a lot of times Sony just pays them to not do that in Japan 236 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.720 so they don't bother doing it anywhere. So but yeah, I don't think 237 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.559 I'm curious four remakes getting PSVR two getting iPhone. It's like it feels like 238 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.039 they want to have them everywhere. But yeah, it'll be what the tech 239 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.960 demands. I think. The reason I'm like not sure is because that there 240 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.720 was that the Capcom Hack a couple of years ago, and there was a 241 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.000 Reside Eval game listed for the switch and then and we've never heard anything about 242 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.679 that. Now. Maybe maybe they're changing up because they're like, instead of 243 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:33.799 doing a separate bespokes switch Resident Evil or like you know, Resident what are 244 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.200 those ones that were on the three DS Reside Evil, Resistance something I can't 245 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.159 remember. Yeah, yeah, I don't, I don't remember, instead to 246 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.919 like do us something along those lines. Let's just like get everyone on board 247 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.120 with a switch too. We'll just wait for that. Maybe that's what happened 248 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:46.879 here. But it's like, I don't know. If they were working on 249 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:48.919 that, it probably would have done fine. On the switch. Have they 250 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.159 actually put it out and they yeah, oh Revelation okay, yeah, yeah. 251 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.440 Veronica is the when everyone wants for the next remake. But yeah, 252 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.360 I think so, yeah, we'll see. They did four before they did 253 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.159 Code RONICAUS. They would be want them to do six as a complete remake 254 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.840 to actually, like like with dead Space three, to make it good because 255 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:11.960 dead Space three should have been great, but it was in the era of 256 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:18.600 pure bullshit micro transaction stuff at EA with Rich Tello probably, and like the 257 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.639 base there could work really well. So that's what I'm hoping. Get the 258 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.639 five, get the six, and make six actually good? Do you think 259 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.799 this is dumb? Fun? He thinks they're gonna do Receival one as the 260 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.159 next remake. I don't think they need to do it. When has that 261 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.679 ever stopped any of these companies from from doing it? So you'll need a 262 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.519 lot added into it. Yeah, yeah, I think they know that. 263 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.600 I think, and I think they would be willing to do that, but 264 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.919 I don't know. We'll see. All right, we're gonna take a quick 265 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.960 break when we get back. We got a lot more news, including the 266 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.360 PlayStation portal doing really well in Japan. We'll talk all about that when we 267 00:16:52.399 --> 00:17:00.399 get back. We're back. We're back, Jesse. We're gonna talk more 268 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.720 about video game news. Hey, hey, hey, alright, break, 269 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.359 I'm wake up again. I know. Yes, i'd let you fall asleep 270 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.160 and then assume, as you saw you snoozing, the c's coming off her 271 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.599 head. That's when I surprised you and said we were back. What's that? 272 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.839 Then the light bulb hit and the mettle of your solid sound came up 273 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:22.480 exactly. Yes, that's how I do it? PlayStation Portal proves incredibly popular 274 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.839 in Japan's from Alex Hopley, a game reactor, The PlayStation Portal is proving 275 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.680 to be quite the hit in Japan. Over Here, we've reported that it 276 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.920 doesn't seem to be a super exciting device, as it will only allow you 277 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.119 to stream PS five games over Wi Fi. But even the criticisms criticism, 278 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.160 pre orders have sold out in Japan. But even with the criticism, excuse 279 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.680 me, preorders have sold out in Japan. As reported by Twitter user Ginky 280 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.839 Japan, You'll not be able to find any PlayStation Portals on Japan's Amazon site, 281 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.519 Yodabashi, Racketon Books, Big Camera, and every online retailer, So 282 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.200 even if the device doesn't do that well elsewhere, it seems Sony may strike 283 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.440 gold in Japan. The PlayStation Portal will release in the U s UK, 284 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.279 France, Germany, Benelux, Beneloo, I don't Spain, Portugal, Italy 285 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:08.200 and Austria on the fifteenth of November. Hey, why did I Why is 286 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:12.240 there a new country I've never heard of before? That's what's happening. I'm 287 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:18.000 forty years old. I can't be this stupid. It's a ton of count 288 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.799 Yes, so it's coming to the fifteenth of November. Do you think it 289 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.279 will be a success. Benelux is Belgium, Okay, yes, Bell, 290 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:32.839 it's been Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Okay, that makes sense now, 291 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:36.359 thank You're very American. We're not near anything, so it's always hard to 292 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.799 remember. Yeah. I don't think I've ever heard that term as the shortened 293 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.839 version of that, but I'm gonna use it all the time when I'm talking 294 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:47.200 about my Benelux friends. Okay, I want the polaystation portal. Everyone else 295 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.880 thinks that's insane, and I agree with them. They're not wrong. You 296 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.359 you have the right use case for it where you don't want to be where 297 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.880 you work all the time, and you want to be around your family exact 298 00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:59.799 but you want to be able to play your console. Yes, and that's 299 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.519 that sounds waking around your family. That sounds very very good to me. 300 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.319 I want Tom Yeah, I want to be near them, don't. I 301 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.160 want to be interacting with Peter Parker instead, though, that's you should get 302 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.519 a you should get a g Cloud. Yeah. I keep actually considering it. 303 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.039 You the only thing that really gets me with so like the PlayStation Portable 304 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.960 is it's nice, you can wake the system up. It's got the dual 305 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.279 sense if you're really into that controller. But supposedly the battery life was really 306 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.920 bad in the initial leak. I hope hopefully it's better, but like nothing 307 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.880 they've made ever has a good battery life. But the g Cloud when I 308 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.519 had it for review, and I was doing fifteen to twenty hours running about 309 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:44.359 half brightness, and yeah, the audio it was and it does everything like 310 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.759 I could connect to my son's PlayStation, my Xbox, any of the cloud. 311 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.480 I was doing a lot of G Force now on it, like it's 312 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.440 good. Yeah, I'm I'm definitely gonna be looking at the g I have 313 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.920 been looking at the g Cloud kind of been like that price still hurts a 314 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.880 bit. So if it goes down, if it if it gets discounted for 315 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.319 like Black Friday this year, I'll probably pick it up. We'll see PlayStation 316 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:10.079 Portal though doing well in Japan. I think it makes some sense on the 317 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:14.599 service that is, that is an audience, that is a market that loves 318 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.240 to game on the go. But then you think about it's like the PlayStation 319 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.119 Portal doesn't enable a lot of gaming on the go per se. I guess 320 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.720 they have. You could argue, okay, they have a better sell network 321 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.440 over there or more. You know, it's more condensed, it's been so 322 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.000 it's easier for them to upgrade. They have the top line stuff, so 323 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.559 you could tether it to a phone and probably play games and it probably will 324 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:40.039 work fine in most cases. I'm like unsure if that is how deep the 325 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.400 customer in Japan is thinking about it. I wonder if they're like, this 326 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:47.119 looks like the PlayStation Portable or it's like it's kind of got a similar name 327 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.880 to the PSP of old, and I kind of want that again because I 328 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.920 remember playing Monster Hunter onto that for like over and over and over again, 329 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.319 and they're hoping this will recapture that and it's definitely not. But maybe they're 330 00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.319 hoping for the best and getting it anyhow, What do you think I mean? 331 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:06.480 I have to hope I it's not. I'm not the customer they're looking 332 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:10.279 for because I am just always at the same place and I'd rather just use 333 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.799 the console natively. I'm not out and about looking to play. The only 334 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:15.960 thing I think of is maybe if you've got a really small apartment now it 335 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.240 means you can more hide your console and not have to see it. Yeah. 336 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:26.400 Like, because for the most part, the limitations of that machine versus 337 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.240 the price, I just I don't see it outside of very specific, unique 338 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:36.559 use cases like yours, which makes sense, so I wouldn't want to use 339 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.240 that over almost anything else if I'm on the go, because it is so 340 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.759 limited. It's it's gonna be interesting. November fifteenth, I'm like, Okay, 341 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.079 that's like a month and a half, so I'm gonna wait. Before 342 00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.359 I reached to people to use it. They were they were impressed by like 343 00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:55.279 build quality and all that stuff, because you know, they have good screens, 344 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.799 it's a good controller, but they didn't get the tested for battery life, 345 00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.680 and they're using it in a very controlled environment. So I'm real curious 346 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.960 to see the real world performance and use cases that people come up with. 347 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:10.079 Yeah. Lexi mentioned though, like Japan really likes PlayStation and they do, 348 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:14.880 but the PlayStation brand is not so strong that just everything sells because it's called 349 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.079 PlayStation. I mean, PlayStation four was way down from PlayStation three, and 350 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.359 a lot of at least certain games don't sell. It's it's a switch country. 351 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:23.839 Yes, they're in Nintendo Country, right, and it's like maybe the 352 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.640 PlayStation portal is like a lot of people were like, hey, I do 353 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.960 like PlayStation, and now this is more like a switch. So now I 354 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.400 am on board. It's just not a switch. It's not going to provide 355 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.799 the same sort of experience that they're looking for, if that's what they want. 356 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.319 But I still think about a lot of people probably aren't getting their hopes 357 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:42.640 up. They're like, I want to make this fit into my life because 358 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:48.119 I do like PlayStation and I would like that to be possible. Well we'll 359 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.599 see. I do wonder like I think PlayStation Portal comes out, it is 360 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.079 on store shelves for a couple of years, and then we fight out one 361 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.000 day, so and he's like, oh, will we stopped making those? 362 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:00.839 And it just sort of fades way that that's my prediction for the device, 363 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.960 And honestly, it's like, well, yeah, I mean it's just a 364 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.839 peripheral like any other. It's not some new platform. It's definitely not a 365 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.279 new platform. So way more excited about the headset and earbuds and stuff. 366 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.359 Those The earbuds look pretty good. I would consider that if I wasn't so 367 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:19.000 happing magnetic which which these Audissease are And boy that sounds good. Yes, 368 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.359 uh yeah, those those are the ones you're wearing right now, those Audissease, 369 00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:27.359 Yes, yeah, I just I asked for a regular one and they 370 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:32.200 sent me the limited edition. You can't get anymore. To try and buy 371 00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.240 my positive review. Okay, they sound unbelievably good, so it's going to 372 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:38.960 be a positive review. Anyways. You've got money, three hundred and thirty 373 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:45.359 bucks. But yeah, I have a rare headphones that are like snoop Dog 374 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.319 branded. Almost one has, but they stopped working about a month later, 375 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.039 so kind of a bummer, all right, let's see here. Team seventeen 376 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:59.000 reportedly suffers layoffs during company restructuring. This comes from James Bachelor at Games Industry 377 00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:03.079 at up is UK, based in Indie. Publisher Team seventeen is the latest 378 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.359 games company to be hit by a round of layoffs, according to new reports. 379 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:11.319 Source has told Eurogamer that the company has announced a restructure that has likely 380 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.480 to result in job losses, with around fifty roles said to be at risk. 381 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.759 Hello Kitty. Most of these roles are believed to be in the publisher's 382 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:23.039 QA department as it chooses to outsource this to external providers instead, or QA 383 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:29.720 roles are expected to be particularly affected. However, sources also said CEO Michael 384 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.599 Pattinson, who took over after long serving leader Debbie Bestwick left earlier this year, 385 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.039 is expected to leave. He originally joined Team seventeen in October twenty twenty 386 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.319 one. A consultation process is said to be underway, which is expected to 387 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.680 conclude in November. Games Industry dot is has reached out to Team seventeen for 388 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.680 comment and clarification. Team seventeen already made a round of layoffs within its internal 389 00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:53.400 development teams back in March. The industry is seen another wave of redundancies, 390 00:24:53.400 --> 00:25:00.599 with Creative Assembly and Epic Games among those recently affected. Seventeen is one that's 391 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.440 like they're the worms people, right, they made worms and then they actually 392 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.240 they've published a lot of games that I that I like, although, of 393 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.480 course I can't bring any of mind right now Dredge, I can't remember I 394 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.119 think they did do Dredge. I'm getting up the list of their games right 395 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.599 now. If it's gonna load, of course it's gonna be weird. But 396 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.440 yeah, I see seventeen. That seems incredible. Yes, so yes, 397 00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:26.119 they've done a lot of cool stuff. Let's see yeh dredge blasphemous too. 398 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.960 Yeah, either way, it's like, Okay, these studios are just in 399 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:37.599 a tough position right now where where it's you can't count on easy money anymore. 400 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:38.599 Back in the day, it was like back in the day, a 401 00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:41.640 couple of years ago, if you were looking ahead and you're like, hard 402 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.200 times might be coming. We might be having low tide because we just put 403 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.079 out a game it did well. We have about this amount of money and 404 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.880 we're looking ahead. We don't have anything that we think is going to pop 405 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.960 off like that, So what are we gonna do. We're like, well, 406 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:57.079 we could borrow some money and pay our people that way and not really 407 00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.400 have to worry about it because the interest payments on that it's going to be 408 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.799 so low it's it's really not even a concern. And this is actually almost 409 00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.799 a more effective way to pay our employees. That is not an option right 410 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.680 now. Borrowing money way way, way more difficult, and they have to 411 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.119 assume that borrowing money is going to be very difficult going forward. So they're 412 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.960 making decisions now being like worst, what's the worst case scenario? Now? 413 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.559 If we look ahead and how do we solve that's, well, we have 414 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.279 to use the money we have now to get through whatever might happen. So 415 00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:30.359 these companies are buckling down in a pretty hard way and that's obviously leading to 416 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.680 This is not just video games. This is across the board in a lot 417 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.920 of places, and that that's leading to slow slowdowns and economies around the world. 418 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:40.160 I think on a show last week, I was like, oh, 419 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:41.279 you know, there's not really a recession. There's there's not one in the 420 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.039 United States, A lot of countries there are. It's not like so severe 421 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.960 that I see people call it like a global depression. It's not that. 422 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.759 Definitely not that. But there's a lot of slowdowns happening in a lot of 423 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.480 places, and these companies are just like, hey, we have to we 424 00:26:55.480 --> 00:27:00.559 have to recognize that and prepare for things getting worse, and so job cuts. 425 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.599 It stinks because you're like, man, I just right off like blasphemous 426 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.640 too. A game that a lot of people love. A lot of people 427 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.799 are playing Dredge, a game a lot of people love. A lot of 428 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.559 people were playing that. I think this is a trappeng to a kind of 429 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:17.960 a military military shooter. People like that game a lot. It's like man 430 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.279 putting up games that are high quality and are hitting, like the hit rate 431 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:25.279 is pretty good, and that's it's not enough. And it's like, yeah, 432 00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:27.039 there, that's where we are right now, where a lot of companies 433 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:32.039 are just kind of so frightened of what could happen that they are making cuts 434 00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.279 even in the face of having successful games. And this is not like an 435 00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:38.720 Embracer situation right where it's like an incompetently run company. It's just, uh, 436 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:42.599 they're they're scared and uncertain and they're making changes. Right. Do you 437 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.759 think are we through? Are we getting on the other side of this anytime 438 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.960 soon? Nope? I think I only get worse. Yeah, And for 439 00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:52.440 the most part, I mean, especially when the publicly traded, it just 440 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.920 comes down to, well, we've gotta keep you know, the dividends up 441 00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.359 or our shareholders, and we got to keep our executive pay up of the 442 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.240 time. So we're just going to constantly ship on the little guys. They're 443 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.160 the ones who'll get cut. They'll be desperate for work. There will be 444 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:08.680 other people who were cut from other places. We can hire them cheap. 445 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:14.839 Like that's the shitty circle we're always in where okay, well, at Unity, 446 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.240 we're going to do one hundred and fifty million dollars of executive bonuses in 447 00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.680 a year, and we're going to fire a bunch of people and do a 448 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:23.200 bunch of dumb shit and all these different things just to keep making sure that 449 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:27.519 we're exponentially growing at all times, which has and never will be sustainable. 450 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:34.039 Yes, So the the word that the CEO might be leaving, it's like, 451 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:38.079 yeah, that's kind of thing where if, if, if the plan 452 00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.000 you had has kind of led you to this point stepping down. It's like, 453 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.400 that's completely fair. It's different than you get from some of these other 454 00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:48.599 companies where it's like, hey, restructuring, everyone needs the titan belts except 455 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.960 for me because I'm the CEO and I'm more important than you, and that 456 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.960 doesn't at least it seems like that's not the case here. Maybe there's something 457 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.480 other reason the CEO's leaving, but it doesn't seem there are other country is 458 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.039 where it's like we make a little money, we make enough money, we're 459 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:08.079 good and then but then in so many of the western capitalist ones especially it's 460 00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:11.759 well we're making money, we're still growing here at Epic, but we're gonna 461 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.119 fire nine because we got to grow more. We've got to do. We 462 00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.519 made a bunch of really stupid investments in the metaverse and instead of me taking 463 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:21.440 a cut, I'm gonna cut you. Type of dumb shit. That is 464 00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:26.960 just the constant thing that pisses every normal person off. I think the broader 465 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:33.119 topic here, like you mentioned it, like the chasing of trends. These 466 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:38.759 publishers and these bigger companies like Epic, they chase trends because they're they're afraid 467 00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:42.119 there it's foamo. They're afraid of getting left out of what happened with mobile 468 00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.279 gaming. Mobile gaming was a trend that a lot of these companies took took 469 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.240 a second to get on board with, and they missed out on a huge, 470 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.000 huge gravy train. Tried like Microsoft has tried repeatedly, and they were 471 00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.039 eventually like, shit, we just we have to buy our way into mobile 472 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.359 gaming. But when when the trends that they chase, I don't think ever 473 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:06.039 had the same promise right they chased the metaverse. VR was a trend for 474 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:11.960 a while. What's the NFTs the people in gaming that actually no gaming and 475 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:14.799 how gaming works, like Bill Spencer and Jim Ryan. As much as we 476 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.440 make fun of them, they don't chase that. They'll they'll placate investors with 477 00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.319 you know, web free in wording and ship. But whenever Phil was asked 478 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.359 about it, he's like, no, it's not It's like we've already had 479 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:30.799 that with the way we do in game shit, like having this weird Breggan 480 00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.559 Mark Zuckerberg doll faced with no legs avatar world to walk around and say hello 481 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:37.759 when no one wants to do that. We had that before, and we 482 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.640 realize we kind of all hate each other when we're just talking. It's so 483 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.640 like Xbox Party chat isn't huge that more for that reason, or in game 484 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.240 chat. I think if they if we like have the benefit of hindsight now 485 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.119 and we look like, okay, why did mobile gaming work? Why did 486 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.160 free to play work? And then why does the metaverse not? Why does 487 00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:57.519 VR mostly not work? Why is it? Why did NFT's not work? 488 00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:02.440 And it's I mean to me, it's like it's never really about the new 489 00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.720 tech or the new even the new way to play games. It's about the 490 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:11.519 business model. It's the business model was Hey, there's a group of people 491 00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.720 out there who are very price sensitive and what one out and mobile like and 492 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.039 mobile it was, oh yeah, we're gonna sell you these small little games 493 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.000 and Angry Birds, this big phenomenon, and none of that mattered. What 494 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.839 mattered was free to play games that could be played forever and give people a 495 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.640 ton of content. And it's and that gave you a rush of gambling. 496 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.880 Yes, it's essentially you don't always know what you're buying, you don't always 497 00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.599 get to buy exactly what you want, and said you're buying a currency that 498 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.839 then goes into other things and hoppers and loot boxes, because no matter what 499 00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:47.680 we say, most people really really like loot boxes. And you can see 500 00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:48.640 it now with Overwatch, where people are pissed. They're like, well, 501 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.720 shit, I'm gonna buy twenty dollars of currency and then I've got like two 502 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:55.640 hundred coins left over to get this one skin when I could have won it 503 00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.359 before on a loot box. Like even though the economics of it fucking suck 504 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:02.359 horrible, but when it's I'm just spending a buck, I'm just spending five 505 00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:06.160 bucks, it's very very different. Every time. Then well shit, I'm 506 00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:09.359 spending twenty Yes, and it's this pathiveleas resistance that people find themselves on, 507 00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:14.200 and none of these other things that have come along that have been trends. 508 00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:20.640 Provided that they were they provided like new ways to play games, and people 509 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:22.079 are like, I think people are mostly happy with the way they play games, 510 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.559 but they're not happy with is spending money on the stuff that they that 511 00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.039 they want to when they want to go play games. So it's like, 512 00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:30.640 well, here we will give you a game and make you feel like you're 513 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:34.680 spending less money. That's going to work if it's a free to play game 514 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.559 where you can theoretically exploit it and be like, oh, man, if 515 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:39.640 I just played this way and this way, I never have to spend any 516 00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:43.240 money, I could play forever. And it's like that's going to attract a 517 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:45.880 lot of people. Even if they eventually do spend money. In the back 518 00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:47.759 of their mind, they're like, I could be exploiting this and that's very 519 00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:51.680 attractive. And well, I always bring up this in as an example, 520 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:53.400 but J. C. Penny when they simplified their pricing structure, and I 521 00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:55.640 was like, this is great, man. I know that thing costs five 522 00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:59.039 dollars. It's not even doing four ninety nine. That's five dollars, and 523 00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:00.759 that's seven, and that's twelve, and it's all color coded, and they're 524 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.640 never gonna have any sales. It's everything's going to be the lowest priced all 525 00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:07.759 the time. I'm like, this is great. Everyone else freaked out because 526 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:09.880 they love feeling like they're getting deals. They love feeling like they're getting one 527 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.160 over. It's you go to a Sam's Club or a Costco and you see 528 00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:16.240 on sale one nine ninety nine. If you were there a week ago, 529 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:21.119 it was normally priced one nine ninety nine, then for two days they upped 530 00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:23.240 it to two fifty to then be able to mark it down like one hundred 531 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.680 bucks. Just it's the it's essentially tricking people as much as you can. 532 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:30.240 And you see a game like people and people like that. That's the thing 533 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.000 that's the people like to feel like they're getting one over on the companies. 534 00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:37.200 Yeah, like with Halo Infinite they give you you get a ten dollar battle 535 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.079 pass, it never expires, there's no Foamo, and we all love it, 536 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:45.079 but I highly doubt it's making the same amount of money that a similarly 537 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:50.640 played game. With the Foamo micro transactions, especially with all the Ulu in 538 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.799 them, you know, can make constantly I'm going over the top. So 539 00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:58.200 I really what what I'm getting at here is this is a long way, 540 00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:01.960 the long road to get to this point of what is pop could possibly be 541 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:05.000 the next trend, And I think that's got to be what a lot of 542 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.639 these companies are worried about. They are trying to look ahead, they are 543 00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:09.760 trying to be like, I am a leader. I have an idea of 544 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:13.719 what's going to happen next. I have a vision that we can act on, 545 00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.760 and they fucking don't because it's hard. That stuff is really hard to 546 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:19.719 come up with, but they fucking don't. And the visions they had had 547 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.400 in the past were like, men, I go to a conference. I 548 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.159 go to the Games to Beat conference. I hear all these assholes talking about 549 00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:30.000 NFTs and talk about the metaverse, and well, that's sounds as good as 550 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.719 anything. And all these guys with money seem to be into it, and 551 00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:37.320 none of it worked out, and now they are left holding their their wieners 552 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:39.920 in their hands, looking around being like, Okay, what do we do 553 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.400 next? And there is no obvious answer for any of these companies. I 554 00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:51.400 think Sony's like, hey, our big play into into live service that is 555 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.920 one thing. But they have a core strength that they do really well and 556 00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:58.000 they're going to keep doing more of and that's really their business. That's really 557 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:02.320 their vision. And Microsoft of bringing in more studios and enabling to make more 558 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:07.719 things with the incentive of game pass really hard. Microsoft had pivoted exactly cloud, 559 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.199 We're going to do cloud, cloud, Cloud, and then they're like, 560 00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:14.960 shit, the cloud's really expensive to run and it's just not growing us 561 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:20.280 very much. So we really just need to diversify. We need to get 562 00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.280 as much PC and as much mobile as they can. And then and Nintendo's 563 00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:25.960 vision is like, well, we've succeeded on the strength of RIP for so 564 00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:30.280 long. What if we just took those that ip into more places like theme 565 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.960 parks and movies. And clearly that's working, and they're like at the beginning 566 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.679 of that journey of making more money than God on all that stuff. So 567 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:38.480 some of these copies have visions and they're doing fine. But all these third 568 00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:43.039 party publishers that had like God, go back to the letter that Phil Spencer 569 00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.480 wrote about, Hey, I was just thinking of that, Right's they never 570 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:51.000 built this attraction to the brand that's something like Disney or Nintendo has, and 571 00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:53.599 so now they are left scrambling and they have to chase trends because what else 572 00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:57.280 do they have. And there's no trends left to chase right now. No 573 00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.320 one is talking about the next big thing after AI, and it's like, 574 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:06.079 aik does that look like in games? Have good? Good luck figuring that 575 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.559 out. I'm sure someone will, but it's probably not going to be fucking 576 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.760 EA or Activision or any of these big publishers are going to figure out what 577 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:17.079 the next wow. AI unlocks some deep value in video games. So there 578 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.880 are a lot of a lot of these publishers are scared, and they should 579 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:22.559 be. And I don't blame them. I wouldn't be able to go in 580 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:23.360 there and tell them what to do other than hey, make good games. 581 00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.639 But we look at these publishers putting out good games and still having to lay 582 00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.559 people off. So I don't know what the answer is. It's it's a 583 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:32.519 weird time. It's like it's probably it is time to batten down the hatches 584 00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:37.280 and try to get through this and see what's on the other side. All 585 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:38.880 right, ye, all right, let's keep moving here. Pay Day three 586 00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:44.000 devs swear matchmaking is fixed ahead of big update. This is from Ethan Gotcha 587 00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:46.960 Kotaku. After a terrible launch week riddled with air messages, pay Day three 588 00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:52.000 maker Starbury Studios says the match making issues have finally been fixed. The promises 589 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.840 come ahead of the Heist Shooters first big patch plan for early October. The 590 00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:00.480 schedule maintenance carried out last week is fixed the initial match making issues that occurred 591 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.360 during Paid three's first few days after launch, The studio wrote in a new 592 00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.920 update on its website, match making this has been stable and has had good 593 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:12.239 performance after the completed maintenance. The studio says that match making infrastructure for just 594 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:16.000 distributing players to different servers was updated on September twenty sixth, followed by an 595 00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:23.360 upgrade on September twenty ninth that added more regional nodes for distribution. I mean, 596 00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:25.960 one of the easiest things in the world to predict was that paid A 597 00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:29.960 three was going to have issues at launch. We have everyone who right Paid 598 00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:31.679 A two had issues to Paid A three is a big online game from a 599 00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:35.800 studio that's kind of like, I always been surprised that they had this huge 600 00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.280 hit on their hands, and yeah, here we are. I mean, 601 00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:42.079 are you gonna go check it out now that it's fixed. I don't know, 602 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.039 are you paid a guy? I checked it out before it broke, 603 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:49.760 essentially when it was in the early access because they sent us some gold edition 604 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.360 which got through the early access, just knowing a lot of these games that 605 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:58.960 do get a subscription deal from the smaller place, and like, holy crap, 606 00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:01.559 this is there's a lot more than we were expecting. So yeah, 607 00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:05.840 I think everyone saw it coming. I've played a little pay Day two. 608 00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.800 It's Payday three is going up against their own game that's got way more content 609 00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.639 because it was out for like ten years or something. So I definitely think 610 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:17.320 it's going to be the slow build up. Probably that that one was more 611 00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:22.280 than anything. So even in the end, all these issues early on, 612 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:27.199 it won't It won't really matter like who remembers Damblo three sold the bajillion copies 613 00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:29.920 and a game didn't work for like a week or two after launch, Like, 614 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:35.119 as long as you eventually get it fixed and you've got constant updates that 615 00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:39.400 you can do, which is the bane of most online games, then I 616 00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:45.039 think they'll be fine. Exactly right. They have solidified the process of making 617 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:50.280 a really what a live service game is the platonic idea of a live service 618 00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:53.480 game, of it feels alive because it's going to get regular updates at a 619 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:58.119 very frequent interval. And that's what happen the pay Day two, as you 620 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.800 pointed out, and now pay Day three has has a chance to build on 621 00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.559 that. And as long as they have that side of things, I think 622 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:06.480 most fans will be like, ah, the promises there. I'm just gonna 623 00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.280 keep getting like. No one is saying like Payday three is so broken. 624 00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:12.480 Some people don't like the progression, some people don't like that there are criticisms 625 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.400 out there, but I think they underline, like people know the reason to 626 00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.000 voice the criticisms with the game like pay Day three is the updates are going 627 00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.880 to come so fast that maybe these changes could happen if you've if you are 628 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:24.960 loud enough, the developer might listen. The developer has said like, hey, 629 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.880 we're looking at the analytics, we're looking at the trajectory of how players 630 00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:32.239 are actually performing, not just listening to the criticisms. Completely fair, but 631 00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:36.159 well we'll see. I think you're right, the game's going to be just 632 00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:42.760 fine. Game stops. New CEO Ryan Cohen aims for radical transformission transformation amidst 633 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:47.280 financial woes from AID. Yes, this is from my Nintendo news. Game 634 00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.320 Stop, the iconic give video game retail changes. It's undergoing a radical transformation 635 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.679 as its chairman and billionaire founder of Chewy, Ryan Cohen takes the helm as 636 00:39:55.679 --> 00:40:00.559 CEO, and his first email to staff, Cohen emphasize the this city of 637 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:07.039 extreme frugality and warned against time wasters as the company grapples with financial changes financial 638 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:12.480 or excuse be financial challenges. Despite Cohen's involvement with game Stop since twenty twenty 639 00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:15.960 one, the company has struggled to achieve profitability. Efforts to diversify, including 640 00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:21.960 ventures into online deliveries, NFTs and non gaming products, have not yielded substantial 641 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.960 returns. In fact, just that like his whole idea, like we're going 642 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:29.119 to be the Amazon of gaming and we're gonna open these distribution centers. They 643 00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:32.079 open that and closed them like within nine months. He's bad at this. 644 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:37.519 It turns out Game stops profitability remains hampered by the industry wide shift from fiscal 645 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:45.000 game sales to digital downloads. Grime. Cohen is one of these guys. 646 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:50.320 It's like a hero of the memestock dudes because they believe that he's secretly trying 647 00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:54.559 to merge, like Game Stop and Bed Bath and Beyond. Go watch that 648 00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:59.000 video. The new video from Dan Olsen folding ideas everybody came out over the 649 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.920 weekend. It's called this is Financial Advice. Go watch that. It's it's 650 00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:07.039 very good and you're gonna get a very long history about this and how Ryan 651 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:12.360 Cohen fits in there. I think for game Stops, from Game Stops perspective, 652 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.440 it's like they're happy or they want to stay away from that, stay 653 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:20.440 above it and and try to build sound fundamentals. But boy, I don't 654 00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:23.559 know what how they can fundamentally change game Stop into being an a going concern 655 00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:25.199 for the long term. I don't know. How do you how are you 656 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:30.599 feeling about it? Make the walls of every building fun goes well, every 657 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:35.800 actual wall clearly well on their way to that. Yes, every desk, 658 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:37.920 everything in front, the registers, just everything made out of fun goes. 659 00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.159 That's the only that's the only way they can go at this point. From 660 00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.519 the last time I was in there, which was like two years ago, 661 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.800 yeah, it's I used to go to game Stop a lot back in the 662 00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:50.960 day, it was never like, oh, this is my home or anything 663 00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:52.920 like that. I had mom and pop shops that I much preferred. Those 664 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:59.800 are all gone now too. But I'm not like, oh, I hate 665 00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:01.119 Game Stop so much I wanted to die and like that and know a lot 666 00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:04.840 of people really dislike it. Nice if it was good. Yeah, it'd 667 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.000 be nice if it was good. But I don't think that doesn't seem like 668 00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.599 an option. The way Cohen's talking is treats Game Stops money like it's your 669 00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:15.039 own. That's always a fun thing to say to employees. It's not their 670 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.599 money, honey. That's just if it was their money, they'd get more 671 00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:22.440 of it. So why the f Okay? Well, I mean I get 672 00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:24.880 like, oh, we gotta be frugal here, but come on, if 673 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:30.199 that's where they're at, whether as saying tone employees to treat corporation's money as 674 00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:31.639 if it's their own. To me, that's like, well we're doomed. 675 00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:36.119 This is it and all your all your employees don't spend as much as you 676 00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:38.519 do with a single decision you make, like you it's like recycling, Oh 677 00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:40.599 everyone you need to recycle at your house. Is like, you know, 678 00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.760 if just a couple of these big companies actually recycled. They do more than 679 00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:47.719 all of us combine five times over. Like it's it's it's on you. 680 00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:52.920 You're not going to suddenly become super profitable because you treat employees even more like 681 00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:58.800 shit or pay them even worse. Like there's way better ways higher up which 682 00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:01.360 will affect you, so you don't want to do them that would actually turn 683 00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:05.920 things around more. I remember a couple of years ago, as I want 684 00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:08.840 to found out like paper wasn't being actually being recycled anymore. It's like all 685 00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:12.320 that paper you're putting in there, I know, that's just they're just taking 686 00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:15.760 that the dumps. Now ten aluminum, that's the one thing you really, 687 00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:17.960 really, real really should recycle everybody. My kid taught me. Now, 688 00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:22.920 okay, let's let's keep moving here. EA Sports FC twenty four physical sales 689 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:27.039 down thirty percent compared with FIFA twenty three in the UK, so from Ben 690 00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.519 Leon at Game Reactor. Now that EA Sports FC twenty four has fully made 691 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:34.719 its debut and launched on PC and consoles, we've been given a look at 692 00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.719 just how well the title is selling in the UK games industry. Dop is 693 00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:42.280 is Christopher Dring has shared a bunch of information shout out to you Dring about 694 00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:45.920 the game's physical launch in particular, and it's both a big launch and but 695 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:50.000 also not as big as that of FIFA twenty three. Dring notes that EA 696 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:53.599 Sports FC twenty four has made the has had the second biggest physical launch of 697 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:57.679 the year in the UK, seeing the title fall behind the Legend of Zelda 698 00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:00.079 Tiers of the Kingdom, but ahead of Hogwarts like to See. As for 699 00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.360 this compared two FETA twenty three achieved a year ago. It's said that the 700 00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:07.840 physical launch sales are down thirty percent, with only Nintendo Switch posting an increase 701 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:12.960 in launch sales. The Switch version, this is the first version that uses 702 00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:16.320 the not the Infinity engine. What do they got the frost Fite right right, 703 00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:20.400 This is the first one built on Frost Fight. Yeah, it's actually 704 00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:24.480 newer and not an an old red not a reskinned Roster update, which is 705 00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:28.760 what the Switch versions have been since the beginning of the system. Remember that's 706 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.480 like one of my early YouTube videos that did really well was just it's always 707 00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:36.519 see like two or three out of ten review for Switch when they bank give 708 00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:39.039 like a seven or eight for everything else. Yep, so that that's one 709 00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:44.119 of the main reasons. It's probably up on switch. What do you think 710 00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:45.280 is what do you think do you think this is the name or do you 711 00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:50.840 think this is just the trend of digital Because thirty percent compared to a year 712 00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:53.119 ago, that's a lot. I would say it's both. I mean they've 713 00:44:53.119 --> 00:45:00.920 been advertising insanely them with the PlayStation, yes, marketing just everywhere you can 714 00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:02.800 imagine, because they know the name is changing, They've got to get that 715 00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:07.760 through to the average fan who is not tied in, which is like most 716 00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.840 people despite what our bubble is so small, us knowing it is not the 717 00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:19.079 norm. Also, I mean it's just I don't care about UK physical numbers. 718 00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:21.920 Yeah, it's like they don't think they mean that much. Yeah, 719 00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:25.400 it's like extrapolate much because it's like they that's audience has gone very digital a 720 00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:30.039 lot of cases, so yeah, and a lot of them don't give all 721 00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:34.000 the data too, So it's it's interesting to see. But in the end 722 00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:37.320 you just sort of like, maybe I don't know because unless we get these 723 00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:43.599 FTC style leaks, we don't get the real numbers. Yeah, it's I 724 00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:46.480 think Sircanic group doesn't Okay, job of like giving us a snapshot, but 725 00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:52.000 even that's incomplete when it comes to these UK physical sales, I guess I 726 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:57.480 do well. I am interested to see like trends, but like like here, 727 00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:00.000 it's like, what do we know? I guess I think my gut 728 00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.880 goes with you. It's it's probably both, but we don't really know. 729 00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.519 The game seems to be doing just fine overall though. The game will always 730 00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:12.719 do crazy good, even when they have a thirty dollar brigain fee, the 731 00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:15.480 ultimate team pack that people look at and they get mad yea, but then 732 00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:19.800 a bunch of them probably buy it. So exactly Marvel wants they're games to 733 00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.639 live up to full potential. Reported looking at internal shift going forward. This 734 00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:27.599 is from my Nintendo News. Marvel's The Avengers video game, developed by Square 735 00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:32.519 Nix, clearly didn't live up to either the fans expectation or Marvel's internal expectations. 736 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:36.760 Therefore, it comes as no surprise to hear that the popular entertainment company 737 00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:40.039 feels that their range of games has not been reaching its full potential. The 738 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:44.639 team at Marvel is apparently looking at a large internal shift regarding how their games 739 00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:47.639 are developed, and they reportedly believe that this shift will happen with EA's upcoming 740 00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:52.199 Black Panther and Iron Man video game. We will have to wait and see 741 00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:55.440 how they turn out. Both are a long way off. This comes from 742 00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:00.960 a leaker that works I think in Marvel space or entertainment space, and just 743 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:07.119 said that they they're really unhappy with how these games have been performing, like 744 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:12.280 generally. Obviously, Spider Man is not an example of that. That's an 745 00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:17.000 example of the game doing very well. But do you think that these other 746 00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:23.559 Marvel games, these other characters can have Spider Man like success. Probably not 747 00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:30.920 right now spider Man, especially with the Into the Spider Verse movies being so 748 00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.119 good. I was wasn't really the biggest fan of the live action ones. 749 00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:42.039 They're okay, but like it's gonna be rough. So Avengers had the Marvel 750 00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.880 porn parody look people, which definitely hurt it. Sure they need they need 751 00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:51.960 to and Guard Into the Galaxy was freaking awesome. That game was fantastic, 752 00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:54.760 and I'm pretty sad and it didn't show better because that game should have done. 753 00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.960 It looked like trash and the trailers. Yeah, it was so that, 754 00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:00.639 but that's always like the freaking Square Enix thing. I don't, although 755 00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:07.239 they're really good with the Final Fantasy trailers. But yeah, I would imagine 756 00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:10.480 this shift is we're really going to pay a lot more attention and we're probably 757 00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:15.079 going to try and focus in work on more established like because EA has been 758 00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:19.960 killing it with the Star Wars games lately. They weren't early, but they 759 00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:22.599 got respawn on it worked really well. Maybe this does mean Okay, we're 760 00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:27.400 gonna go, right, you know, we're gonna go with Bethesda and Machine 761 00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:31.679 Games to do uh Indiana Jones game. We're gonna go with EA, and 762 00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:38.159 they're gonna really promise us the Moon for Black Panther and Iron Man. So 763 00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:43.880 it's I think just having more hands on. I highly doubt they're going to 764 00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:46.840 try and do any internal studios or anything like that with the internal shift, 765 00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:53.920 but definitely a lot more stringent watching of things after the Avengers fiasco. Yeah, 766 00:48:54.039 --> 00:49:00.360 I think that it's I don't know, lest I think with you that 767 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:04.760 you're right that they're gonna be even more hands on now. Disney groups are 768 00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:07.119 very hands on already, but it usually comes in the form of how are 769 00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:13.000 these things going to fit in the overall universe? Uh? And and you 770 00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:15.800 know, are we legally cleared to use this thing created by this artist or 771 00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:19.840 whatever they're They're constant with that stuff. It's a it's a hasshole for both 772 00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:23.280 sides. No one likes it, but it's a necessary evil. I think 773 00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:29.880 that just Marvel Games coming in and be like we are we hey, make 774 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:32.960 that better? How good? What can that really do? Like, yeah, 775 00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:37.440 I think they will pay more attention, but like this kind of stinky, 776 00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:39.599 I want it to be not stinky. I think that's a tough thing. 777 00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:44.920 So I kind of leaned towards the Star Wars approach what Drake's doing with 778 00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:47.320 the when that's not Drake, but with Drake Drake is also doing, which 779 00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:50.599 is like, let's just make a lot of shit. Let's make a lot 780 00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:52.239 of shit, and some of it's gonna be really big, expensive games, 781 00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:55.400 some of it's gonna be little stuff. But let's make a lot of shit. 782 00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:59.599 And a couple of them are probably gonna be very good, and some 783 00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:01.320 of them are going to still find an audience because it's still Star Wars and 784 00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:06.000 it's still it was like the old heyday of Star Wars was when they were 785 00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:09.360 just so many Star Wars games. Somewhere Okay, somewhere incredible, like like 786 00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:14.360 I'm really looking. I love Massive, I love Division one and two, 787 00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:17.119 very excited about Division three. I guess I'll play. I guess I'll review 788 00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:22.239 Avatar. I really don't like those. Those movies are gorgeous, impeccably made, 789 00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:24.000 but I have no interest in them. But I'll still review that one 790 00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:30.840 Blue Friends alone. Sorry, Oh okay, I wanted the original look at 791 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:34.159 those goddamn ailed the NAVI. That would have been so much cooler than weird 792 00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:38.719 Tall. The early concept was very, very very good. Yes, yeah, 793 00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:43.320 like Avatar at this point, like the first Avatar, I really like 794 00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.199 it. But man, wait water that shit rules I've got I've got this 795 00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:50.000 new oh lad, So it's something I watched. I was like, man, 796 00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:52.280 this is really pretty, but I don't care about any of these characters. 797 00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:57.280 But yeah, watch it in a in a taxi like I did. 798 00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:02.000 Which the h the ideal? Do you experience exactly? We do a movie 799 00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:09.280 podcast and freaking Nick watched Jesus christ was He watched christ Shawshank Redemption on his 800 00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:13.360 phone an hour before we did the podcast. I'm like, God, damn 801 00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:16.199 it, man, come on, it's it's Nick. You gotta just let 802 00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:21.679 him be. He's the one that always skips the cut scenes, right always, 803 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:23.639 so yeah, no, he hates so it's always fun when he reviews 804 00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:25.920 something and I'm saying, if you were going to review this, you're gonna 805 00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:28.920 have to know the story or else I'm not gonna let you do it, 806 00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:30.800 and he's just very mad. Hell yeah, yeah, keep your foot down. 807 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:34.760 I listen. I'm half on his side. But yeah, still, 808 00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:37.920 when they're bad, it's fine. But if you're reviewing it, you got 809 00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:40.039 to see how bad they are. Yes, for sure, Yeah, I 810 00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:44.440 get it. I think if I was, if i saw like the first 811 00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:45.480 few hours of him and I'm like it's bad, I'm like, no, 812 00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:49.559 I'm probably gonna start skipping it, and that'll just be in my resume. 813 00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:52.360 Long is you you feel like, you know, if you trust your gut, 814 00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:54.400 I know what this is, and you watch the ending at least, 815 00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:59.039 and then yeah, you're fine to skip the interstitial stuff. All right, 816 00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:01.199 I'm gonna hit that the headlines here, there's some other stuff that's that's breaking. 817 00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:05.559 I'm gonna take a look at let's see a square. Knix isn't currently 818 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:07.840 looking to bring Final Fantasy seven remake to other platforms. That's a rumor, 819 00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:12.400 we'll see. That sounds right to me, though, the moon would be 820 00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:15.400 surprised if they were waiting until everything's out exactly. Yeah, I think that's 821 00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:20.440 that's what I agree. Uh. The GTA six fans are losing their mind. 822 00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:22.920 They are looking at the moon in the game and they think that something 823 00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:28.079 about the moon tells them that they're going to get an announcement for a grand 824 00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:30.760 theft Auto six. Sometimes that leaker guy who kept saying it's going to be 825 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:34.440 announced really quick and then he ended up turning his account off. Yes, 826 00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:37.320 this is like, this is numerology basically where we're at nowhere. These guys 827 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:44.320 are truly reading the tea leaves almost literally and getting nothing. Okay. Epic 828 00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:47.280 Games director excuse me, Epic Games is director of publishing strategy is leaving the 829 00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:52.000 company. That's Sir gay Glonkan. He's this is from Tom. I'manett at 830 00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:58.320 BGC. Epic Games director of publishing Strategy, Sir Gaydoncan is leaving the company. 831 00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:00.559 In a statement released on Monday, galonk And said today is his last 832 00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:05.079 day at the Fortnite maker. It's unclear if his departure is directly related to 833 00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:07.559 widespread job cuts at Epic. Last week, the company announced plants the way 834 00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:12.119 off around eight hundred and thirty employees, or sixteen percent of its total workforce. 835 00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:15.920 Announcing his departure, Glucan said he was not a good fit for where 836 00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:20.519 Epic is headed as a company. So Gluncan is the guy that created Steam 837 00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:24.679 Spy, which is the analytics service that a lot of developers used to understand 838 00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:29.559 how their games are performing and would perform on Steam. He's someone who has 839 00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:35.480 a history of understanding the way digital online stores work work, and the Epic 840 00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:37.920 brought him in early when they were doing Epic Game Store, and he was 841 00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:44.239 going to be overseeing like that strategy, I would imagine looking at it and 842 00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:47.320 be like, the strategy didn't work. Now, in Sergey Gluggan's defense, 843 00:53:47.719 --> 00:53:52.039 I don't think they ever really implemented what he would have done. The strategy 844 00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.840 was just like, go pay a bunch of developers, exclud for exclusive games, 845 00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:00.840 and hope for the best. And here we are talking about I have 846 00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:02.960 like three hundred and thirty games on Epic Games. I am a huge customer. 847 00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:06.800 I bought one of them and that was Hades. Still I've got three 848 00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:10.079 D and thirty and yes, that right there, that's exactly what happened with 849 00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:13.440 Epic Games Store, and it's a lot, a lot of people will pick 850 00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:16.480 those games. Yeah, they've got Solstice free right now. That game is 851 00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:20.320 actually really good. Damn go go get it. Everyone should get it, 852 00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:22.199 and I think most people many people do. I don't at this point. 853 00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:25.760 I don't know if most people do. But that converting into people who spend 854 00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:30.159 money just usually isn't happening. I think it's very rarely is happening. People 855 00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:35.199 will for the Borderland's game that they really want when it's exclusive on Epic, 856 00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:38.159 they'll go buy that one. Beyond that, changing people's behavior was always a 857 00:54:38.280 --> 00:54:43.440 losing battle. Everyone. Everyone was saying this beginning from the beginning, I 858 00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:45.039 know I was saying it like, this is going to be a huge waste 859 00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:47.239 of money, and in a couple of years we're going to be in the 860 00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:51.119 situation where they look back, a boy, may we shouldn't have done that, 861 00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:54.280 and that that's what's happening here. I think I'm safe in saying that's 862 00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:58.880 exactly what is happening here. They look back regret spending all that money. 863 00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:01.519 Go Luncan's probably had conversations like, oh, how can we revitalize the store, 864 00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:05.320 here's my plan. They're like, well that, we don't really want 865 00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:07.559 to do that, and so averse we don't want. We only wonder if 866 00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:13.800 it's metaverse right exactly? So uh yeah, it seems like the Epic Game 867 00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:17.679 Store uh experiment. It's probably not gonna go away, but definitely they seem 868 00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:22.039 like they're scaling back on it. Uh and and Epic it seems like they're 869 00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:27.159 scaling back on everything that isn't making money from Fortnite at this point except the 870 00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:30.880 metaverse. Yes, except for the metaverse of course. Boy god man, 871 00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:34.719 these companies. But the web three, yeah, web three, that's the 872 00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:38.719 answering. The blockchains so cool, The blockchains so cool, ice cream so 873 00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:43.360 yummy, blockchains so cool. That's going to be my MPC kid TikTok for 874 00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:49.559 for everybody. All Right, I got a pole from right and not that 875 00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:52.760 well unless I got that too for everybody. Let's see one going from Friday. 876 00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:57.400 You need to go to a doctor. That's it's it's it's a really 877 00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:00.599 good medicine. I take Uh, we'll have a pod asked out about it. 878 00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:04.320 Don't worry, everybody would Vincent Van Go have cut off his ear had 879 00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:07.599 he known about Pikachu? Twenty nine percent say yes, twenty seven percent said 880 00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:12.639 no, forty four percent said somehow, this is still too soon. So 881 00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:16.480 what about van gaw got him? Oh? Man, my wife's an art 882 00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.920 major. She yells at me about it. Yeah, guy, is that 883 00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:23.480 how you're supposed to say it? Jesus, I will say that had he 884 00:56:23.519 --> 00:56:28.079 known about Pikachu, he would have been chatline. That does seem too soon 885 00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:31.119 somehow. I'm sorry everybody. It just really really made me laugh these Van 886 00:56:31.159 --> 00:56:36.960 Go Pikachu things, and thinking about Vincent van Go meeting Pikachu, which he 887 00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:38.679 was high lots. Maybe he did meet him. He met the doctor and 888 00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:42.239 doctor who I still can't think of a good podcast name. I'm sorry, 889 00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:45.599 jen h all right, let's see here. I didn't think of one, 890 00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:49.679 but it would require a really like hard to get guest every time, and 891 00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:52.000 that was doctor Shu and we bring cho Hey Yoshido to watch it with us. 892 00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:54.119 Well, that's brilliant, I got we can get him. No, 893 00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:58.760 we can get Shu. We just tell him that Greg Miller's cheating on him. 894 00:56:58.800 --> 00:57:01.320 And where you would be the boy? Did you ever play? Had 895 00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:06.400 a full boyfriend. There's literally a doctor. There's a doctor Shoe who's a 896 00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:08.239 big fat pigeon in that game. If we could get him, it also 897 00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:12.760 works. Let's make it happen, all right. I got want with Danny 898 00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:16.079 Dwyer played that game. It was something I should watch them all right. 899 00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:20.079 I got a new poll going up here in a little bit. I will 900 00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:22.440 handle that, Jam, don't worry about it. But before we get to 901 00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:24.719 that, Jesse, why don't you tell people where they could find you what 902 00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:29.519 you have going on? All that good stuff. Everything is xbox era dot 903 00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:32.559 com or YouTube dot com forward slas xbox Era. We try to avoid clickbait, 904 00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:36.760 So if you really like us, Patreon dot com, Fordsli xbox Era. 905 00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:39.239 But the big thing is on November fourth, much like these guys always 906 00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:43.280 do, I'm doing an extra life stream for the kids, so check that 907 00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:45.199 out. It'll be over on the YouTube channel. I'll be going all day. 908 00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:50.639 So yeah, just xbox Era. We're not fanboys. We just saw 909 00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:53.199 a gap in dedicated coverage and wanted to do it. We like everything, 910 00:57:53.320 --> 00:57:58.280 especially Nick who mostly just like Nintendo. You like Nintendo? Are you do 911 00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:01.280 you have a team that you're open out with Extra life. I made my 912 00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:06.159 own, well joined one. If you want to join the Giant Bomb team, 913 00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:07.559 you're more than welcome. If you can still do that, I don't 914 00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:09.480 know if it's possible at this point, but if you if you want to 915 00:58:10.199 --> 00:58:14.920 feel free, I'll look into it. Okay, all right, I got 916 00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:17.119 the pole. New pole is going to be. Do you think Marvel can 917 00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:22.280 turn some of its other games into spar Spider Man like successes? Yes? 918 00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:24.199 I think that would even include Wolverine. So if you think even Wolverine, 919 00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:28.599 go ahead and vote yes on that. But yes or no, Yeah, 920 00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:31.119 I'm kind of like I think Wolverine's has the best chance. I think it's 921 00:58:31.119 --> 00:58:37.360 gonna get close. But that's yes, MCU tricks people because Marvel's IP just 922 00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:42.639 weren't as big for the heroes as DC's were. Spider Man is the one 923 00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:45.960 that has really taken off in a very different way from the rest. So 924 00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:49.280 it's it's just gonna be tough to ever match up. That's none of that 925 00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:52.480 is wrong. You're right. Spider Man is the is the standout with me 926 00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:53.840 a whole show. I am You're on it. You're on it today, 927 00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:57.440 I listen next time you just do it. I'm gonna kick back and take 928 00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.840 a nap. All right, let's see, we'll get that pull up there 929 00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:05.039 very soon. I think I have a meeting to get to, so Jesse, 930 00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:07.639 thank you for spending your time to today talk with me about video games. 931 00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:10.639 I really appreciate it. It's always a great disagree. There we go. 932 00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:13.679 I got one in there. I got one in there. Okay, 933 00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:16.280 one time it wasn't a great time.

We'll be back with the bomb 936 00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:25.639 Cast tomorrow. Later today. There might be something, honestly, we're gonna 937 00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:29.639 go in this media and figure out right now, no promises, don't Maybe 938 00:59:29.639 --> 00:59:32.119 we'll get some quick looks done or something instead. And then later this week, 939 00:59:32.199 --> 00:59:37.440 yeah, look out for Blake Club will be back voicemailt dumb Truck on 940 00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.280 professional Fridays. We'll have all those good things, so look out for all 941 00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:43.840 that. We'll have the schedule up probably as well.
