7
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.119
Lucy, how's it going it?
I've got my coffee. Wouldn't you say

8
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.520
bread? Do you mean like the
wheat and yeast sort of substance or the

9
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:51.759
you know, like bread is in
shagging? I mean, why not both?

10
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:58.320
Let's just do it. Let's why
not both? Okay, that's pretty

11
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.719
sure they've been breeding. That's you
know what today it's it's it's Lucy's birthday,

12
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.640
right, You've given me a gift
though with that right there, I

13
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:14.079
do I did indeed mean like sour
dough, like the we There's a dog

14
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:19.359
named fid Dough and he's it's been
spelled dough as in bread. Yes,

15
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:25.760
but it's also a dog, so
it's a breed. But I was like,

16
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.480
I'll go and have some kind of
breeding cake. I don't know,

17
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.439
it's the boarding. I got a
big coffee. No no shaming over here.

18
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.359
I hear it, I get it. I get it absolutely, Lucy.

19
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.079
How how are you doing? What
are you gonna do for your birthday?

20
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.359
I'm too well, I'm actually gonna
spend I didn't think that, Like

21
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.359
Ondnesday is not a good day for
a birthday. I didn't even want to

22
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.200
take the day off. But tonight
I am going to have dinner with the

23
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.840
Miller's and then we're gonna take Ben, who's my godson, swimming, and

24
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.480
I get to be the one who
like splashes him around in the pool.

25
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.000
So I'm very exciting, so wholesome
and pleasant. That's so much fun.

26
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.960
Swimming babies one of the top,
like top tier things you can do.

27
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.599
It's just like watching a baby swim
because they're just like, yeah, this

28
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.280
is great. This is like I'm
like floating. What is happening here?

29
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.960
Uh yeah, that's it's it's really
good stuff. Uh well, I hope

30
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.680
you enjoy that. Let's get into
this mess. But before we do so,

31

40
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.080
have a lot to get into,
so let's start the Morning Mess with the

41
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.080
Pokemon direct details. I borrowed these
from Chris Carter over at Destructoid. He

42
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.960
ran down basically what happened. There
wasn't a ton our own. Jan Ochoa

43
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:13.000
woke up it did a solo stream
to talk over that thing. So if

44
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.599
you want to watch along with him, I'm pretty sure it's on the site

45
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.000
now or will be since how I
will be watching because I my Pokemon train.

46
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.560
There's probably a train Pokemon sailed many
years ago, so I need someone

47
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.120
like Jan or you to tell me
what to be excited about with Pokemon.

48
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.759
Well, I'll do my best here. Let's start with just a few details

49
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.120
that they did ramping up to the
news about Scarlett and Violet. I really

50
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.879
want to say Scarlett and Nexus,
but that is a different video game.

51
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.919
Pokemon World Championships will be held on
August eighteenth through the twenty first in London.

52
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.280
This is gonna be one of their
first in person events in a long

53
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.199
time, they said, I think, and it's I'm gonna have stuff like

54
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.400
pop up shops where you can get
the Pikachu dressed up like he's in the

55
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.319
King's court or whatever, the Queen's
court. So that's that's your jam.

56
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.439
Yes, that was. It was
pretty cute. They're also gonna have Pokemon

57
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:08.879
Go and Pokemon Unite events as part
of those festivities. Pokemon Go is separately

58
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:14.360
running an event in Sapporo, Japan
featuring Ultra Beast, and the Pokemon Fest

59
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.360
finale is on August twenty seventh.
Daily Adventure Incense has also been added to

60
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:23.680
the game. This is a an
item you can get in Pokemon Go that

61
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.040
you can use once a day that
activates for fifteen minutes like a procession and

62
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.839
it will track it attracts the legendary
Pokemon, So for fifteen minutes per day,

63
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.480
you could try to go out for
your walk and catch legendary Pokemon.

64
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.480
Sapporo Japan. By the way,
they make good beer there in Sapporo.

65
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.600
You know, yeah, I had
that. Yeah, that's pretty good stuff.

66
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.639
The team reiterated that Pokemon Unite first
Anniversary event details uh that this includes

67
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.680
the Peaka Party event which starts today
and as it might sound, it is

68
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:57.560
like all Peak of Shoes all the
time. They're also adding buzz Swoll,

69
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:03.079
who is a very strong looking bug
Pokemon, which buzzwall is just an incredible

70
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.800
name, right Google that I think
you made that up. Yeah, well,

71
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.279
I mean, hey, listen,
you'll probably make sure that you put

72
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.759
on safe search so you don't get
the breathing content. Pokemon Masters ex is

73
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.439
celebrating its third anniversaries. Some events, the Trainer Lodge a big content update

74
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:25.120
are arriving in August, and then
Mew two is returning to the Pokemon Cafe

75
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.160
remix with a one minute cooking mode, and Latis is in today with Latios

76
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.759
coming later. So a lot of
a lot of stuff happening with the mobile

77
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.480
games. Oh, that's a mobile
game. I was like, I don't

78
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:41.480
know what that is, but if
it's if it's Pokemon cooking like a cooking

79
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.680
mama, Yeah, it's it's I
think it's like a it's a puzzle game.

80
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.040
I think I've never played it,
but they showed a little bit of

81
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.319
stuff from me. I think it's
the one where like little drops of Pokemon

82
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.959
dropped down into a thing and then
you have to like mix them together side

83
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.839
by side and like like kind yeah, it's it's an abomination. Interesting.

84
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.480
Okay. The reason everyone really got
out of bed this morning it was the

85
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.600
new information about Scarlet and Violet.
They dropped a new trailer. Uh.

86
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.279
One of the new interesting twist on
this game is that the legendaries are front

87
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.839
and center. And by that I
mean they are like one of the first

88
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.639
things you're going to get in this
game is going to be a legendary Pokemon.

89
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.639
They act as mounts that you can
fly on, sail on, run

90
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.680
around on, and drive on.
They one of them like looks like a

91
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.720
motorcycle and yet like they have wheels, like a wheel on the front and

92
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.560
wheel on the back, and yet
they're like running around and they don't.

93
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.000
They didn't seem to use the wheels. Maybe they use the wheels if they

94
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.920
go like a certain speed. It
was, it was odd. It was

95
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.360
it was weird. But it's like, oh, okay, so this is

96
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.800
what they're doing to sort of improve
mobility in these games and make them feel

97
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.600
like they go faster. But it's
still kind of weird to get a legendary

98
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.639
up front. So yeah, I
mean I'm just oh, yeah, wow,

99
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:58.600
that that is a motorcycle with it
is a motorcycle with also wings,

100
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.480
yes, wow, okay, yeah, yeah, turning like little planes and

101
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:08.920
stuff. Yeah, it's yeah,
let's see. Multiplayer was a huge focus

102
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.279
of the trailer and was an as
was an end game lower treasure hunt event

103
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.199
and a new treasure like form of
Pokemon. It was hard for me to

104
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.920
like as someone who's only played a
little bit of Pokemon over the years.

105
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.000
And I mean, I liked Arkius. I was kind of looking for what

106
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.560
from like the stuff I liked from
Arcius is going to be in here.

107
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.800
It was hard to start to gauge
that as a casual Pokemon player right now.

108
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.160
So they're like taking the temperature of
the reaction from the big Pokemon fans

109
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:40.800
out there, people like jam people
on Twitter, they were like still kind

110
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.439
of like holding this game at arm's
length. It seems like they're still not

111
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.839
quite sure, like you know what
to expect from this game, And a

112
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.120
lot of that comes down to it. I think, like, oh,

113
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.399
they're doing like new twists. A
lot of games have stuff like z attacks

114
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:58.199
and mega transitions or whatever, and
this game's got has something like that,

115
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.839
and no one seems very excited about
this version's twist. So it's kind of

116
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.279
like, Okay, many people are
kind of holding it in a place where

117
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.959
like we're gonna need to play this
before we can really decide whether or not

118
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.720
it's It's very exciting, but all
that said, it's Pokemon. It's gonna

119
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.120
sell very well. Right. Oh
yeah, one hundred percent. Pokemon is

120
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.720
massive, always has been, probably
always will be. I also, I

121
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.600
mean, you know, as a
kind of lapsed player, I always used

122
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.639
to get Pokemon, but I never
used to finish it. I don't know

123
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.600
what it was, but it never
and especially as the franchise got bigger,

124
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.320
I always just kind of was like, oh, this is too much for

125
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.799
me. I preferred the original one
hundred and fifty one. I don't know

126
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.120
what this paper clip is, what
kind of you know, but friends of

127
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.440
mine who are super super into Pokemon. I'm also just intrigued, like what

128
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.919
the competitive scene is going to be
like, you know, that's a big

129
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.879
drawer for a lot of people.
I can't wait for it. What was

130
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:58.320
it? Oh, degsit with some
of it's with sudden the National decks wasn't

131
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.320
like all the Pokemon right, So
yes, the people were mad about that.

132
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.679
I think people probably are still gonna
be mad about it, but not

133
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.159
as mad this time as they were
last time, because I'm pretty sure the

134
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.519
same thing is happening with this game. Yeah, And I mean I think

135
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.720
the the the punk kind of thing
to at least it's on my mind,

136
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.120
especially as the Switch gets older.
And someone in the chat mentioned it and

137
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.399
it's already scrolled past. I'm sorry, but they mentioned performance. That's always

138
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.039
gonna be like, especially as Pokemon
games they aren't just you know, the

139
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.600
that's three D. Now they're trying
to go to this quasi open world thing,

140
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.879
and I wonder how the Switch is
going to come to figure it out.

141
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:46.799
Yeah. Game freak not exactly known
for optimizations and building like very efficient

142
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:48.759
engines that run like. They were
the ones that when they would put out

143
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:56.080
their three D three DS games Pokemon
games, like the actual physical three D

144
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.759
effect wouldn't work in their games because
their games were too demanding for the three

145
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.639
D Uh. And it's like okay, and it's like, well, they

146
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.000
probably could have got that working,
but they you know, they weren't going

147
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.799
to spend time or budget on that. They're they're putting in other places.

148
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.279
Uh. That kind of always happens
with these with these Pokemon games. I

149
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.360
would expect it to be an issue
here as well. Although you know,

150
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.799
recently, it feels like, you
know, Zeno Blade came out Black Chronicles

151
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.559
three. I haven't played it,
but I was kind of waiting for all

152
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.159
the complaints about that game, and
it sounds like it runs much better higher

153
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.159
resolution or frame rate then Zeno Blake
Chronicles two. So it's like maybe developers

154
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.440
have figured something out. Maybe Nintendo
has figured something out and has shared with

155
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.440
developers, and we're getting better,
better running games because of that. I've

156
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.279
unticked this box for you. Off
you go. I think the only thing

157
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.440
I've heard about Zendo Blade is draw
distance, But other than that, Pioneer

158
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.720
brons quite well. Yes, right, Yeah, and it's like, yeah,

159
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.399
that's the kind of thing where like
the right trade off could be made

160
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.000
to make these games run better.
Hopefully we we see that with with with

161
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.480
this Pokemon game. Uh. Other
news, uh coming out of like the

162
00:10:54.559 --> 00:11:01.039
Nintendo you know area, Nintendo reported
that it's earnings Nintendo's June quarter sales fall

163
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.240
four point seven percent to two point
three one billion dollars, while profits rise

164
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.039
twenty eight percent. This comes from
Dean Takahashi over at games Beat. Nintendo

165
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.360
reported quarterly sales for the first fiscal
quarter ended June thirtieth June thirty two point

166
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.919
three one billion, down four point
seven percent with two point four or two

167
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.440
billion a year ago. That's that's
compared to two point four two billion a

168
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.720
year ago. Net profits, however, were eight hundred and ninety four point

169
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.960
three million, up twenty eight point
three percent from six hundred and ninety seven

170
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.919
point one million a year a year
earlier. Slumping switch sales were to blame

171
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.519
for the lower revenue. The Kyoto
based, a Japanese company, said it

172
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.159
sold three point three three point four
three million switch consoles in the quarter.

173
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.159
That is down from four point four
five billion from the same period a year

174
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.360
ago. All told, Nintendo sold
twenty three million switch systems last year.

175
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.320
It has sold a total of one
hundred and eleven million switch systems since launch.

176
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.840
We'll check in real quick here,
Lucy. Obviously they sold a ton

177
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.360
of switches up until this point,
sold a ton of switches through the pandemic.

178
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:09.519
Three point four three million switch systems
sold in this last quarter for a

179
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.519
five and a half year old system. Still pretty good, right, Oh

180
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.720
yeah, that's fantastic, Like it's
kind of frustrating though, because it's like,

181
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.759
where's the next one? Was the
next one? Well, if you'll

182
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.840
stop buying the current one, then
maybe we'll work on the next one.

183
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.080
You know. I think it's really
good. And like what were people buying

184
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.360
this time last year? What was
the big game? Yeah, I'm trying

185
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.799
to like play, I know,
like what was happening with like PlayStation five

186
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.320
was getting like returnal ratchant clinking stuff? What was switch had some stuff around

187
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.960
that that time of year, but
I can't remember. Was it? No

188
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.480
Kirby? Was this? So?
What the what the the cat Mario game

189
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:54.320
was Super Mario three Fury? What
was that? Yeah? Yeah? A

190
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.639
plus Bowser Street. Yeah that seems
right, there was like Mario stuff happening

191
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.120
around that time or that was January
okay there. I mean, there was

192
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.639
definitely like a games coming out for
the Switch during that time. But also

193
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.720
it's sort of was the effect of
Mario Kart is just out, and we're

194
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.639
families and we're gonna go buy something
during the pandemic and it's gonna be a

195
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.080
Switch and we're gonna get Mario kartight
and we're gonna get Mario Party and that

196
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.919
stuff like every quarter that was happening, regardless of what other new games were

197
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.960
coming out, and that still is
it still seems like it's what's powering the

198
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.759
Switch is success at this point.
It's just obviously coming back down to earth

199
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.200
a little bit after the highs of
the pandemic for the video game industry.

200
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.799
I was gonna say it, like
you can't kind of under overstate how how

201
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.559
big the Switch was, especially in
twenty twenty, Like they were hard to

202
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.879
find for a while, you know
at that point for three year old console

203
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.120
is ridiculous, so wee year old
console. Yeah, And it's the kind

204
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.720
of thing where like they talked about
how this was the middle of the life

205
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.440
for the Switch because it was being
so successful and PlayStation five sold like two

206
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.559
point four million, or Sony sold
two point four million play station fives during

207
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.159
the same quarter. Obviously that's supply
constrained, but they are expecting to get

208
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.080
to like eighteen million PlayStation fives by
the end of this year because the other

209
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.279
quarters are going to be even bigger. You could probably expect the other quarters

210
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.360
to be even bigger for the switch. This is going to be a relatively

211
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.279
slow quarter compared to holidays and fall
and even like you know, the first

212
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:22.279
quarter next year on the calendar.
So this system probably still going to sell

213
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.399
around twenty million units this year.
That's why we that's why we don't hear

214
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.759
news about a new one, right
because any system that's selling twenty million units

215
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.960
in a year, you just don't
do anything to upset that anytime soon,

216
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.960
right. I mean, all that
said, maybe they have a transition to

217
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.919
a new plan for a transition to
a new system that does incorporate keeping the

218
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.840
switch around longer or making it feel
like maybe like something between a pro and

219
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.759
a switch to something more ititor like
what they do with iPad and iPhones.

220
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.799
But you know, that's the only
way that I think they could really sort

221
00:14:54.840 --> 00:15:00.159
of go to something new because otherwise
you don't want to leave behind the and

222
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.600
that it's just still selling so well. No, and especially and like it's

223
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:09.360
Nintendo, so they're gonna want to
figure out like some cool thing that's like

224
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.679
the the usp a bit. It's
not exactly gonna go switch to switch too.

225
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.960
They want to have some kind of
angle on it, you know.

226
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.679
Yeah and check. They said the
big Warrior war game this time around this

227
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.840
time last year was or was yeah, it was Warrior where I'm sorry,

228
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.799
the big Switch game was Warrior Ware
and which is like, wasn't a huge

229
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.840
seller, so you switch sales.
Hardware sells kind of detached from the software

230
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.720
sells, and uh, software sales
were still doing fine for the most part.

231
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.559
From Nintendo. Nintodo say it's forecast
for the fiscal year ending March thirty

232
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.360
one, twenty twenty three is to
hit net sales of twelve billion and profits

233
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.080
of two point five five billion.
The forecast is unchanged from a quarter ago.

234
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.879
It aims to sell twenty one million
switch unitto during the fiscal year.

235
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:52.639
Just that's a massive number, four
five going into six years of a system.

236
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.039
Uh, massive number that I can't
possibly comprehend. Yeah, yeah,

237
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.279
just like yeah, yeah, we're
I mean, this is it's putting it

238
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.279
on So I mean what I said, this was a que one for them.

239
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.919
So that's gonna put them really close
to one hundred and thirty one hundred

240
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.759
and thirty five million. Yeah,
like it's gonna put the one hundred twenty

241
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.320
five one hundred and thirty million by
the end of this year. That puts

242
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.360
it right on the path kind of
getting close to that PlayStation two number of

243
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.279
like one hundred and fifty five million
or something like that. Might not get

244
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:23.639
there, but you know, if
they've watched something that has a switch pro

245
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.600
and that's still the same thing,
it will easily get there. Actually it

246
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.960
could. It could go to like
two hundred million, if that's how they're

247
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.559
going to do things. But we'll
have to see. Oh I love a

248
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:38.039
workaround. Yeah yea game Boy game
Boy Color is the same thing cordyd Nintendo,

249
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.480
and they combined those sales, so
yes, it's the same thing.

250
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.919
Uh oh, let's see. Nintendo
said that Nintendo Switched Sports, which debuted

251
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.559
in April, saw sales of four
point eight four million copies, while Mario

252
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:53.440
Striker's Battle League, released in June, saw sales of one point nine one

253
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.080
million copies. I think that's about
what I was expecting for Mario Strikers,

254
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.079
a game that I enjoy, but
most people seem pretty like lukewarm about those

255
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.519
Switch Sports numbers. Four point eight
four like nearly five million copies sold.

256
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.680
That's pretty good for it for that, right, yeah, because from what

257
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.759
a bunch of people was saying,
it's like, I don't know, it

258
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.039
didn't seem as fun those stuffs for
the first week. It's fun. It's

259
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.559
like, it's fun. It is
that game again, right yeah? Yeah,

260
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.599
it is golf launched for it yet
I don't think so yet. No,

261
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:29.559
I'll check back check. Yeah.
Absolutely, yeah. I know Jordan

262
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.559
over at games while I was obsessed
with the volleyball like he's obsessed with it.

263
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.039
I mean, it's fun. That
is actually one of the fun new

264
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.440
games in there. UH. Sales
were strong for the Nintendo Switch. Downloadable

265
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.720
versions of package software and Nintendo Switch
online sales were higher. Overall digital sales

266
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.799
were up sixteen percent in the quarter
from a year ago. UH. This

267
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:55.039
leads us into another standout release for
Nintendo from earlier this year, Kirby and

268
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.839
the Forgotten Land has sold over four
million copies. This comes from Mike Manadi

269
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.519
at games Beat as part of its
latest financial results, and Nintendo revealed that

270
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.200
Kirby and the Forgotten Land has sold
four million copies in its first fifteen weeks

271
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.519
following its March twenty fifth release on
Switch. Total sales for the game are

272
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:14.240
more are at four point five three
million. Nintendo claims that this marks the

273
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.200
highest cell through of any intrigue to
date in the Kirby series, which celebrated

274
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.359
its thirtieth anniversary in April April of
this year. Some estimates, however,

275
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.400
have put sales of the first injury
in the in the franchise, Kirby's dream

276
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.279
Land at above five million. Uh. Still, it seems like this game's

277
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:33.720
on well on its way to getting
past five million, right. I think

278
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.559
there was just so much good will
about that game, and not just because

279
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.119
mouthful mode is very easily to mean, but it just seems like it was

280
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.160
already fun little platform and a lot
of people really enjoyed it so well.

281
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.519
I love fun punt puzzle game,
so I don't know, I it's one

282
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:55.359
that I didn't dip into just because, you know, I think I think

283
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:57.839
I was still playing Elden Ring at
the time. Yeah, Now now that

284
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.160
stuff is kind of like eased off
a little bit. There are a couple

285
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.960
of games that I'm playing, but
and like maybe I was about to say,

286
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.960
I'll wait for it to go on
sale, but it's an into No,

287
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.799
yeah, not not anytime soon.
And if it does, it'll be

288
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:15.839
for on Black Friday. Yeah.
Maybe I've started it. I put it

289
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.440
down for various reasons. My plan
is to go back to that and then

290
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.599
I'm gonna go beat Arcius as well. I enjoyed play of Kirby. What

291
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.720
I like about it is it keeps
getting better as you play it, Like

292
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.279
it keeps getting more interesting as you
go along. And I was that's what

293
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.440
surprised me about it. But the
bigger thing here is doesn't this just speak

294
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.920
to how things have changed. There
was a time during like the wee era,

295
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.519
where you would put out Supermo they
Ninten would put out Super Mario Galaxy,

296
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.119
and they would put out New Super
Mario Brothers. WE and New Super

297
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.279
Mario Brothers. We would just crush
Super Mario Galaxy in terms of sales.

298
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.759
And now three D Gaming I think
primarily because of stuff like Minecraft in Fortnite,

299
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.640
which have taught like many kids how
used two sticks. At the same

300
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.720
time, h three D gaming has
just completely flipped and become so much more

301
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.720
popular, and so a real three
D Kurby game is like just zooming past

302
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:10.000
all these other games because now it
feels modern and it's it's getting more people

303
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.960
interested. And I hope Nintendo takes
this lesson to heart. And as much

304
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.240
as I love their two D games
and want them to keep making two D

305
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.279
side scrollers, that'd be great,
make more of these, take more of

306
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.759
your characters and put them in three
D platforms as well. Right, Yeah,

307
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.359
And I think you're totally right about
the Fortnite the Minecraft not only teaching

308
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.720
kids, but it's in all of
the media that they're exposed to, Like

309
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.200
most of the big YouTubers will get
that start with Minecraft or Fortnite, and

310
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.319
so it's become that's the norm for
them. And so I wonder if,

311
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.640
oh god, if kids don't see
two D games as being like really old

312
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.519
fashioned pot me and part of me
dies a little bit inside. But you

313
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.160
know, if they can't pump it, that's how that's the world in which

314
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.160
they've been grown up and like we
grew up with like sixteen bit, thirty

315
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:55.720
thirty two, you know, sixty
four, like full three D, like

316
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:57.160
you know, if we go back
to Palm, that seems old fashioned to

317
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.640
us, right, So you know, it's it's cool. I'm really glad

318
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:06.559
as well because it just feels like
a bigger pedestal, like the biggest spotlight

319
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.319
for characters like Kirby and you know, like Captain Toad's Treasure Track. I

320
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.599
can really see that one getting his
own spinoff ready. But that for that

321
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:17.519
to do do well and be a
good games on ways very exciting and so

322
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.279
these kids don't know how good they've
got it. It's the best time to

323
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.720
be the gamer of any age.
Absolutely. Zeno Blake Chronicles three earns largest

324
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.960
UK launch in franchise history. This
is by Jordan Midler at VGC. Zeno

325
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.359
Blake Chronicles three is the largest UK
launch in the history of the franchise in

326
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:40.119
terms of box sales. That's according
to data shared by GfK boss Dorian Block

327
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:44.319
on Games Industry dop is, which
just the game was also the best selling

328
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.240
box game in the UK last week. However, according to Block, it

329
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:52.880
only very very narrowly beat Zeno Blake
Chronicles two. Interestingly, the previous two

330
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.880
Zeno Blade entries on Nintenda Switch,
Zeno Blake Chronicles two and Zeno Bla Chronicles

331
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.440
Definitive Edition generated more money during their
launch week. This has been attributed to

332
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.279
the special editions of both games,
which supported supported higher price tags. The

333
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.519
special edition of Zeno Blake Chronicles three
was not sold during launch week and will

334
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:12.640
instead launch later this year. There's
like issues with like getting that together,

335
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:17.680
I think, and that's been a
huge hassle for everyone involved. Zina Blake

336
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.519
Chronicles three is the fifth biggest Switch
launch of the year, behind Pokemon Legends,

337
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:25.279
Archias, Nintendo Switched Sports, Lego
Star Wars, The Skywalker, Saga,

338
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.920
and Kirby in the Forgotten Land.
That's I mean for a Switch exclusive

339
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.440
launching this big RPG, this franchise
they had. They also still seems to

340
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.720
have a niche appeal to a certain
extent. That's pretty good company to be

341
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.400
end to be in that top five
for launches the UK. Yeah, I

342
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:44.920
mean, it has also been a
much quiet a year and I always kind

343
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:48.720
of forget the start Lego Star Wars
was as big as it was, But

344
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.119
now I think I think, yeah, I'm massive, but like p Zenna

345
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.079
Blade, I still don't even you
know, and I've worked in games for

346
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.359
a long time. I it's it's
always been a franchise that I like,

347
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:06.640
I kind of forget about. But
it does have this increasingly uh growing fan

348
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:11.799
base people really dig especially the last
two. It feels like two and now

349
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.039
three and I'm like, oh,
do I do I have the time for

350
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.039
another one hundred jog? Yeah?
Well, could I just play Final Fantasy

351
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:22.559
twelve again? You know, we
do that, But to see, to

352
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.480
see what I mean, what I
consider, I consider, I'm definitely just

353
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.240
prefacing that a relative and a JRPG
on the more niche side to do so

354
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.680
well is great. So yeah,
and uh, it definitely seems like it

355
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.599
deserves it based on the reaction and
the improvements that Madelith has made to this

356
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.000
version of the game, where like, hey, we're gonna make this play

357
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:49.200
play faster, and we're gonna improve
the quality of the game in terms of

358
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:55.799
resolution all this other stuff. So
yeah, it seems well deserved and I

359
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:57.279
am actually going to check it out, even though I'm not a big JRPG

360
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:02.160
guy, just because I hear how
quickly it gets going, and part of

361
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.680
me is like, you know,
I always hear people talking about this franchise,

362
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.640
and whenever it comes up, or
whenever people talk like, hey,

363
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.720
Nintendo game you're excited about, people
say seeing Blay Chronicles three, I'm like,

364
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:12.680
oh, oh yeah, okay,
yeah that is a game. And

365
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.799
now I feel like I'll just try
it for myself finally and for my own

366
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:21.720
opinion on it. Yeah, THQ
Nordic is publishing a ew Fight Forever.

367
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.720
This just got confirmed stuff that we
pretty much knew. But they put out

368
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:29.279
a teaser trailer that also doesn't have
a ton of stuff. But it's twenty

369
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.720
six seconds here, I'll just let's
play it. It doesn't even show much

370
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:36.079
gameplay, but it's just Hey,
it's THHQ Nordic is publishing. Here's the

371
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:38.720
announcement teaser. They did also confirm
some stuff we talked about, I think

372
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:42.119
on the BombCast, if not earlier
this week. This it's coming to PC,

373
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:47.240
it's coming to PlayStation four, and
then it's coming to the modern consoles

374
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.880
and switch. It's not coming to
Xbox one though I believe, but this

375
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.200
is like the PC kind of confirmation
all that stuff you can wish list it

376
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.680
now and all that. Oh,
I'm sorry, that was it. That

377
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.359
was it. I was like,
okay, waiting for it to get good.

378
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.599
No, it doesn't do that.
It doesn't do that. It's it's

379
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.400
like kind of weird, kind of
awkward that there's not like more gameplay,

380
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.400
but it is just a teaser trailer. There's probably more coming soon. So

381
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:18.039
wait, so yus yus did WW
right, they did WW and then they're

382
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.240
like and we're gonna like, we're
gonna go experiment on our own wrestling game

383
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.839
and then WW and to take two
two K We're like, no, don't

384
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.720
you can't do that, and there
was a falling out and two ks fired

385
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:36.000
yukes and it gave everything to visual
visual Visual Concepts? Is that who does

386
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.640
that game now? And then the
first one was super bad and then they

387
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:41.200
took a year off and the visual
Concepts came back with a good one.

388
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:47.160
Thanks Marino. Uh. There is
a THQ Nordic event next week. That

389
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.319
is right, that THQ Nordic event
that's been like they announced forever and ever

390
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:53.680
and ever ago games come. Yes, okay, so that makes sense,

391
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.720
so we'll probably here and see more
of that game there. That makes sense.

392
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.920
Oh, that's a leaked gameplay games
in a W five for it all,

393
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.759
Right, let's let's sick. Look
here, what is going on there?

394
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.480
Yeah? What is going on?
I'll just let you all enjoy that

395
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:19.519
on your own time. That was
the noise as you make when you watch

396
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.880
a w I totally, I totally
agree. I understand why, aw that's

397
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:26.599
too skinned to us. No,
don't don't. Yeah, absolutely, just

398
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:33.519
keep nodding because he would, I
mean, listen, I would rather not

399
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:41.200
invoke Dan Reicherd in wrestling to derail
this awesome show we have going so far.

400
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.680
We'll see if he's a change.
Made us watch Tiptoes. Okay,

401
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.240
he did make us watch Tiptoes.
It was very aggressive about making sure we

402
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.240
did not leave. And yeah,
that's Dan record right there. There was

403
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.160
a point where I did fall asleep
and tam messagement. He was like,

404
00:26:53.279 --> 00:27:02.359
you were called on everyone, go
watch trailer for tiptoast' that's your one work

405
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:07.799
for today. Man, what a
movie. PA says single player games are

406
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.559
a really important part of its portfolio. This comes from Tom Ivean, a

407
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.279
VGC Electronic Arts has said that single
player games are quote a really really important

408
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.880
part of its overall product Mix.
After appearing to actively shift away from making

409
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:23.079
single player games during the twenty tens, the company has seemly warm to them

410
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:29.160
again following the success of Star Wars
Jedi Fallen Order. And I've reported this

411
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.480
before, that's exactly what happened.
There was a time where they're like,

412
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:33.440
hey, we make a lot of
different kinds of games. And then they're

413
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.599
like, let's make Mirrors Edge Catalyst
because everyone says they want that, and

414
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:38.920
then they made it and not many
people bought it, and they're like,

415
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:41.720
well, fuck that, We're not
doing that anymore. Live service games are

416
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.920
much more reliable and we can make
consistent money for them. And then they're

417
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.559
like, well, we gotta make
a Star Wars game because we made this

418
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.640
deal we can put respond on Star
Wars Jedi faone Order whatever. That game

419
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.759
was a huge success for them,
and now they're like, oh, we

420
00:27:55.799 --> 00:28:00.599
can make money from single player games
again, Latin clue. So right now

421
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.000
they are working on Star Wars Jedi
Survivor, Dragon Age, dread Wolf,

422
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.759
and Dead Space remake. Uh,
and like they'll go go over some didn't

423
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.200
put is a list that they said, I think this is a list of

424
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.759
confirmed games, right what why what's
what's your question about this? Oh,

425
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.319
mass Effect. Yeah, mass Effect
is definitely coming after Dragon Age dread Wolf.

426
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:23.640
It's like it's still ways off though, but like like dragged like the

427
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.039
history of dragon Age of four or
whatever it is. Uh. That was

428
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:30.000
also being looked at as maybe being
a live service multiplayer game, and then

429
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:34.039
they backed off of that and they're
like, we are very specifically going to

430
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:38.599
make this a single player game and
all that too. Drain Age Inquisition had

431
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:42.359
that weird multiplayer mode that tried.
It was basically tried to be mass Efect

432
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:47.160
three multiplayer, but it was just
like, yeah, mass you know,

433
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.079
massifec multiplayer very successful for him.
You can. Of course, they were

434
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:53.799
going to try to go for that. But you know, in addition,

435
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:59.119
obviously they're also making that Black Panther
game we talked about last week, and

436
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:03.799
they're making another Marvel game that's a
single player and what else they got,

437
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:08.200
yeah, the mass Effect and there
was another oh yeah, and then the

438
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:14.720
single player Apex Legends stylized shooter game
that's focused on mobility and stuff. So

439
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:17.319
they have a lot in the works
over there when it comes to single player

440
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:22.119
stuff. Now, all that said, EA's chief financial officer Chris Sue followed

441
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:26.920
up by noting that live services account
for almost three quarters of EA's total business,

442
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.359
and he says, if we think
about the model impact and the financial

443
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.960
impact of it, I think the
first thing to always keep in mind is

444
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.720
that live services still encompass on a
trailing basis, trailing twelve month basis,

445
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.200
over seventy percent of our business,
and that has been a proven, very

446
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.359
reliable, highly reoccurring a revenue stream, and that will still be the predominant

447
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:51.240
driver in our profit and loss long
term. So they're not like they are

448
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:55.000
still fully embracing live service. It's
just they are making a lot of single

449
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.079
player games to go alongside with that. I think that's kind of the right

450
00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:02.039
balance, right. It's like,
we get it. Multiplayer live service games

451
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:06.119
are reliable. They are the kind
of thing where you can base your future

452
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.200
as a developer on. We can
expect to make this amount of money if

453
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.839
we put out this amount of content
based on how many players we have.

454
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.079
But I still I still really like
a lot of single player of games.

455
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.640
Could you make some of those as
one of the biggest publishers in the world

456
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.799
and just show that you believe in
different kinds of games, and that seems

457
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.640
to be their their stance right now. Yeah, which is good, and

458
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:29.119
I think as well, you know, if you I'm kind of using a

459
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.240
Ubisoft example here, but like look
at kind of the way they've approached launching

460
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:40.519
new multiplayer experiences that are completely unknown, like hYP Escape, roller Champions like

461
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.079
games that they're trying to launch off
their own merit where it's we were at

462
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:49.440
a place now with media where people
don't like to take risks on things that

463
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:56.519
are unknown. And in terms of
like investment, like a short a single

464
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.200
player story seems to be a bit
of an easiest cell than all you got

465
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.400
to have this live service game.
It feels like a commitment, right,

466
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:08.079
and so kind of like looking at
it a little bit, oh what's the

467
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:15.960
word, it's early in the morning. Not critically, but like not optimists.

468
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.960
Pessimistically, yes, skeptically, Like
you could say that like Apex Legends

469
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:23.960
is an amazing game, but would
it have had the same impact if people

470
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.319
hadn't have been like, oh,
this is from the Titan Fol people,

471
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.400
This is setting the Titanfol universe.
And I know the Titfall was a multiplayer

472
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:32.880
game, like but you know it
had that single player thing, and that's

473
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:36.680
the thing that kind of keeps people
really invested and like looking for those ties,

474
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.640
looking for those characters. And I
wonder if it's like they need they

475
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.759
want people to have more of an
emotional connection to their games, and I

476
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:48.119
think that's easy to do in a
single player than that was a really garbled

477
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:49.799
answer, but it's earlier in the
morning. But you get what I'm trying

478
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:52.119
to get, and I get exactly
what you're trying to get at there are

479
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:59.559
it is very easy for people to
people who love single player games dominate a

480
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.680
lot of the conversation because the people
are playing multiplayer games are just off in

481
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:05.799
their own little corners playing with other
people playing that multiplayer game. And so

482
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:09.400
when people show up to talk about
EA and they don't have any single player

483
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:12.839
games to feel good about, it's
like it doesn't even feel like a real

484
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.279
publisher anymore. And by having a
good mix of all these different things,

485
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:21.759
it helps raise the profile and improve
the profile and reputation of EA. And

486
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.319
then on top of that, it
raises the profile of these individual properties,

487
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:28.640
like like you said, like the
Titan foul thing there that you know if

488
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.720
merch well, I mean that's the
thing as well. Now we're getting things

489
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.240
like the Dragon Age anime where it's
it's like a ton of merch, you

490
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:40.920
know it kind of it feels like
community wise and like conversation wise. Both

491
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.240
of them have, Like the Apex
communities is absolutely massive. But like,

492
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.960
yeah, but you don't think the
thing that they lacked seven hoodies the equivalent

493
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.599
of an in seven hoodie from the
Apex, like just commut least I don't.

494
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:53.000
I just don't see. I don't. But what I do see is

495
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:57.359
like theory crafting, and that stuff
is about the law. It's about the

496
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.799
characters. It's not theory crafting about
how's the spitfire gonna work? You know,

497
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:04.240
it's you know, it's the kind
of story building stuff. And I

498
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.079
think EA knows that they connect to
people with stories, or at least I

499
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.119
hope they do. I hope you
know that. I think that's I think

500
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.240
they're they're learning that at least,
let's see. Uh Yeah. Also talked

501
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:21.000
about their fiscal year twenty three title
slate Let's bring this up. We I

502
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.279
think F one twenty two already came
out Q one obviously for Q two,

503
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.119
they're gonna have F for twenty three
and Madden NFL twenty three. In Q

504
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:31.920
three, Need for Speed and NHL
and I've talked previously. Yes, Need

505
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:37.240
for Speed's coming out October novemberish time. It's the one that takes place in

506
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.279
Chicago, a fictionalized version of Chicago. It's going to have like a lot

507
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.440
of like a graphical glitchy elements on
top of it. At least it did

508
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.960
in some early tests. That stuff
can change. Then in Q four we

509
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:52.480
get Dead Space, PGA Tour,
and previously the last time they did actually

510
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.920
the last time they showed us this
this image here, they just said PGA

511
00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:00.279
Tour and then they said, we're
going to have a major re make.

512
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.960
We're gonna have a sports game and
then a major IP. And at the

513
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:06.759
time it was like, well,
the major remake was dead Space, the

514
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.599
sports game was Super Mega Baseball,
and the major IP was Star Wars Jedi

515
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:14.159
Survivor. Uh, this time they've
confirmed that Dead Space and Super Mega Baseball

516
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.159
are those two games. And then
in the call they did, they're like,

517
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:22.000
don't assume the major IP is Star
Wars Jedi Survivor. It is,

518
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.519
it is right, but for one
thing, what else is going to be

519
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:30.559
second. I know it definitely one
percent. Is that is the game they're

520
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:34.320
talking about there. That's my guests
here, and this is based on like

521
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.280
the things that hear out of Lucasfilm
is Lucasfilm likes to be the one in

522
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.559
charge of announcing Star Wars games,
and so EA's kind of my guest here

523
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.760
is that EA is probably like,
we'll just we'll kind of pretend we'll take

524
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.800
the we'll kind of yeah, we'll
wink for everybody, so that Lucasfilm can

525
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:53.840
can be you know, crucial to
the announcement stuff and not get the lake

526
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:57.639
swept out from underneath them and stuff
like that. The partner title, I

527
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:00.000
actually don't know what that is.
I haven't in a title, So what

528
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:04.320
is that going to be like one
of those EA originals or believe that's I

529
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:06.760
believe that's what it is. It's
just not a Joseph Ferris game. I

530
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:08.079
do know. It's not a Joseph
Ferris game. That would not too soon

531
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:14.519
anyhow. So, Yeah, I
wonder how's Yannie doing. Is Yanni still

532
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:19.280
still a thing? Do we get
a Yarnie three three Unraveled three? Probably

533
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:21.840
not? They did two of those, I'm sure they did okay, but

534
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.199
they were no take it takes two. Obviously it takes two a massive success

535
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:30.880
for them, so no, uh
new Modern Warfare two details will be revealed

536
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.280
on Sunday. Uh. This is
just a quick heads up. You could

537
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.159
tune into the championship Sunday for the
Call of Duty League. Uh. This

538
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:40.840
is where you know the top players
are gonna be playing for or whatever,

539
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.280
but they are going to be announcing
new details about the upcoming game. You

540
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:47.880
could also win beta codes by watching
this. So if you want to go

541
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:51.360
watch the Call Duty League Championship to
win a beta code for a Call of

542
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:57.400
Duty Modern Warfare too, go for
it on a Sunday Sunday, right,

543
00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.559
Yeah, that's that's the sporting day. It's the day you watch sports like

544
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.920
esports now an America. It is
for football, but I don't know,

545
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:10.559
I think I think it isn't.
Yeah, I can't remember Saturday and like

546
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:17.880
Wednesdays for soccer. Sorry I said. Assassin's Creep Bahala goes rogue light with

547
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.920
today's Free Forgotten Saga update. This
comes from CJ. Wheeler at Rocket Paper

548
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:27.559
Shotgun. Today's Free Forgotten Saga update
is hoping to draw you back into the

549
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:30.239
game again and again. That's because
it's inspired by rogue lights. You see,

550
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.840
Forgotten Saga is meant to be a
rogue light experience, rogue light style

551
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.320
experience in the Realm of the Dead, Nifflheim, I'm gonna say things,

552
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:39.960
these things wrong, and people are
gonna get mad at me, but I'm

553
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:45.960
just gonna go for it. Nippleheim
plunging headfirst into the Norse fantasy worlds and

554
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:50.559
introduced in Valhalla in Dawn of Ragnarok. But don't worry, because you don't

555
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:54.400
need the paid Dawn of Ragnarok Saga
with stuff to unlock this new rogue light

556
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:57.920
mode. Basically, you just got
to get to a certain point of the

557
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.679
game and then you enter Nipple Time, and you would play as a godparent

558
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:08.000
Odin who starts with random random weapons
and you're trying to search for a missing

559
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:13.639
sun balder, and as you play
you get randomized upgrades as well. I

560
00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:16.679
think Katies, I think Katie's obviously
a rogue light, but I honestly think

561
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:21.000
a lot of games right now,
one of the this is the kind of

562
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.719
thing I'm actually really into. Lucy
where to keep games interesting? They are

563
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:29.280
a lot of games are adding rogue
light modes. I just played the Streets

564
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.639
of Rage four rogue light mode for
the first time, where you get random

565
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:37.000
upgrades for your characters and you're trying
to get as far as you possibly can,

566
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:38.639
and I'm like, this is fantastic. This is such a good thing

567
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:42.559
to add to games that you've played
a lot of to keep them fresh and

568
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:45.480
interesting. So I'm all in favor
of more games like assassins Creed Villa doing

569
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:51.039
this. I think personally that this
kind of mode probably gonna work even better

570
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:54.119
in Assassin's Creed Infinite, the live
service one that's going to keep people around

571
00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:58.079
longer. Right, Oh yeah,
because I mean I am not going to

572
00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:02.599
reinstall and downloads Assassin's Creed Valhalla for
this, Yes, exactly. Very unlucky

573
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:06.400
for me too. Yeah, if
I was on Steam Deck, i might,

574
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:07.960
but I don't think it. Yeah
yeah, but I mean no,

575
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:12.920
Like in terms of rogue light elements, I'm a sucker for it. I

576
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.440
love just one more, just more
round. So I think that's cool.

577
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:21.239
I also think, honestly, it's
nice to see them just do something different

578
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:25.920
with Assassin's Creed that doesn't feel it
doesn't feel like a ubisoftification, and I

579
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:29.719
hate that that's become a negative thing
now, But in my mind, it's

580
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:34.400
like it's nice to see them trying
something, and I think it seems it

581
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:37.920
seems fun. I think one of
their other their Tom Clancy games, got

582
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.159
rebooted and they are going to introduce
Rogue Light elements into that as well.

583
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.360
So maybe this is the latest ubisoppification
and any year will be like, oh

584
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.679
my god, all they do is
rogue Light games. Oh we've lost We've

585
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:52.199
lost the towers, We've got the
Rogue Light elements. It's all right.

586
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:54.639
Maybe that's better in the long run. Though all right, Dead Island to

587
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:58.599
re reveal is planned for Q four
of twenty twenty two. This comes from

588
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:02.199
Tom Henderson at try Hard Guides.
Sources with knowledge with the plans surrounding Dead

589
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:06.679
Island too have said that the game
is likely to be re revealed later this

590
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.400
year, although an exact revealed date
of Dead aunts Who was not provided.

591
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:13.880
The same source has said the reveal
at the Game Awards later this year would,

592
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:16.480
excuse me, quote unquote, make
a lot of sense. This is

593
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:22.800
something we've been like you, but
making it anymore christ alive. I just

594
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:24.159
forget about it right, because yeah, like it's like, is this thing?

595
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:27.679
Does this thing even exist? It
didn't it come out? Or was

596
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.960
that Dead on Riptide? Did doubt
Dead Island Riptide ever come out? That's

597
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.719
how what's where I'm at with the
series? But apparently they've been working on

598
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:39.159
I don't I honestly, I honestly
don't know. Twenty thirteen, then there

599
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:45.480
was a game called Escape Dead Island. There was huh I've never heard of

600
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:50.679
it? Is it? Ah?
I wished by Deep Silver, distributed Square

601
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:55.400
n x uh for PS three,
Xbox three sixty and uh Steam. It's

602
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.199
a mystery, a survival mystery game. Yeah. The first the first Dead

603
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:04.599
Island was by Techland. Yes that's
right, everybody in chat and stuff,

604
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:08.360
but this one is not right.
This is a different team. Yes,

605
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:14.360
damn Buster is that the name of
the studio? Okay, yeah, sorry,

606
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.519
I just saw that. Justin McIlroy
from Polygon declared dead Escape Dead Island

607
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:24.760
the worst game I've ever finished,
wow, which is damning them to read

608
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:28.840
whatever he wrote about that. That's
fantastic too. Yeah. So this one,

609
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:30.880
this one was Techland, and then
it went to Jaega. Then it

610
00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:39.440
went to uh uh Sumo and now
it's damn Buster, right, and Dead

611
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:44.800
Island two is the one that has
the trailer where the guy is jogging on

612
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:49.440
the beach, right yeah, and
then that's the one that the goat simulator

613
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.440
took the piss off exactly, which
is just a wild thing that for Goat

614
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:54.960
simulator to do. But whatever.
Uh yeah, so okay. So as

615
00:40:55.519 --> 00:41:00.519
sources are saying that, according to
Tom Henderson, that the game is very

616
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:05.119
good and people are very into it. They are doing a lot they're doing

617
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:07.920
a lot of play tests at play
tests excuse me at dan Buster, focusing

618
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:13.760
on the cooperative play feature of the
game, it says. In addition,

619
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:15.760
it's also been suggested that the cast
is completely new, with five to six

620
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:19.360
new characters coming to the game.
Well, then I'm not playing if I

621
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:28.119
don't get those classic Dead Island characters
that I know and love Lucy and I

622
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:30.639
played that game. Oh my god. The main characters is called Ride Oh

623
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:36.719
White, oh no, no two
weeks Prides of Outbreak, Ride a White,

624
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:42.239
a colonel in the b I DFF
yeah, bit of okay. Wait,

625
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:45.880
wait, so the main character was
Sam b who's voiced by Phil Lamar,

626
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.920
a one hit one to wrap star
from New Orleans, and then there

627
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:57.760
was Jean May Logan, Carter Perna
Jackson, and ride A White. Phil

628
00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:01.159
Lamar, best known as the other
voice of jar Jar Banks. I believe

629
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:05.800
that's actually not always the best known
as but he is. I is a

630
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:10.800
clearly best known for fut drama.
Yes, let's see, it's also being

631
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:14.880
that guy in pulp fiction it gets
his head blown off, right exactly,

632
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:19.039
and Mad TV and all that stuff. Following the original Port Deep Silver and

633
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:22.039
parent company Embracer Group had said it's
up and it's financial call that they at

634
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:27.159
least expect the release next financial year. As the comments were made before the

635
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.119
end of that fiscal year, it
would imply that Dead Island two is scheduled

636
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:34.440
to release by March thirty one of
twenty twenty three. So this you know

637
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:36.800
what this feels like to me?
This feels like we get we hear about

638
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:39.000
it at Games Calm and then it
comes out in first quarter next year.

639
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:42.280
Yeah, I mean, you know, I was going to see Game Awards

640
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:45.599
as well, maybe like a second
little push, but yeah, games car

641
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:52.480
I had wait, wait, I
played Dead Island too at Games Calm.

642
00:42:52.559 --> 00:43:00.920
When it's oh my god, like, when was that like twenty yeah,

643
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:07.480
twenty six, fifteen, jesus,
well fourteen, go luck to that.

644
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:09.239
I hope the game comes out and
surprises everybody. That would be great.

645
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:12.599
That'd be fantastic. I want games
to be good. That's not with me.

646
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:16.960
Yeah. Logiteck G and Tencent Games
announced partnership to advanced handheld cloud gaming.

647
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:22.280
They're gonna do this fire launching a
cloud gaming device today. Logitech G

648
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.880
Intencent Games announced a partnership to bring
a cloud gaming handheld to the market later

649
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.800
this year that will combine Logic GI's
expertise in hardware with ten cents Tencent Games

650
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:36.760
expertise and software services. The new
device will support multiple cloud gaming services,

651
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:40.400
and both companies are working with the
Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidio g Force Now

652
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:45.280
teams so gamers can play triple A
games when they are away from their console

653
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:50.679
or PC. This is probably not
going to be a switch killer, probably

654
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:53.239
not going to be a Steam Deck
competitor. Uh. It's probably going to

655
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:58.159
be a relatively affordable device you would
imagine, right, And it's one that

656
00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:01.039
doesn't at least I think for lotch
Deck probably doesn't need to be a ten

657
00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:05.599
million unit seller. Maybe ten maybe
for ten cent, but for logic it's

658
00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:07.519
like, you know, it sells
anywhere near a million, that's gonna be

659
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:13.719
pretty successful for them, right,
But like, why are they doing this?

660
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:20.559
I can play on here. I
mean I've I you know what I've

661
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:24.840
been doing recently steam Link really yeah. I never used it before. And

662
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:30.519
then I really wanted to play Bear
and Breakfast, but I didn't want to

663
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:32.800
sit at my desk because I sit
at my desk all day every day,

664
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:35.360
and I was like, I want
to sit on my on my couch.

665
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:37.840
I went on my TV. My
TV already had steam Link built in.

666
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:43.679
Yes, yes, Unfortunately, Bear
and Breakfast does not have controller support yet.

667
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:46.960
But I've been playing some other stuff
just through steam Link onto my TV,

668
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:52.239
and because I'm on the same network, it's pretty much Yes, it's

669
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:54.480
fantastic, Like the Steam gap is
actually pretty good. Yeah, And so

670
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:59.800
I've been like, that's the thing. It's like it already exists, like

671
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:04.320
x Cloud, I can play I
was playing on my last time I went

672
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:07.880
home. I was playing X on
my Xbox like on my tablet, just

673
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:09.599
super easy. I could put it
on my PC if I wanted to.

674
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:14.039
I can play my PlayStation five on
that like, I can play steam Link

675
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:16.400
anyway, so I don't understand why
they're coming out with a new thing,

676
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:21.960
Like who's gonna buy it? Yeah, this is a it's a kind of

677
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:24.840
a market, a potential market that's
pretty squished out by other things that already

678
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:30.079
exist, right. I think that
I could see the reasoning being like that

679
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:32.880
last mile problem of not like the
last mile laying like cable to a person's

680
00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:36.960
home or whatever, but the last
mile of Okay, you have the content

681
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:39.239
being streamed to your home, how
do you actually engage with it? And

682
00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:42.880
some people be like, I will
just play on my phone and use touch

683
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:44.960
screen controls, and I'm fine with
that, but I think there's a lot

684
00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:46.880
of people who are like, that's
uncomfortable for me. If I had a

685
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:51.639
dedicated controller thing that would be good. And by combining like the screen of

686
00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:54.039
the controller into one thing, maybe
that solves the problem for some people.

687
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:58.159
I just don't think it's some massive
audience. There's no way it's some This

688
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:02.800
is the secret devices is going to
finally make cloud gaming this massively appealing prospect

689
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:07.599
to a ton of people. I
think most people, for the for the

690
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:09.880
most part, are going to still
be happy to go to the Switch or

691
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:14.119
to the steam Deck and just play
things natively. And if those things get

692
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:16.599
cloud streaming stuff on them, I
mean, Switch does steam Deck can.

693
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:21.440
They'll just do it through those kinds
of devices, and then when you know

694
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:25.360
you are traveling or you're on a
place that it doesn't have great internet connection,

695
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:28.920
you could still play your games.
I think most people are gonna want

696
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:34.440
that instead. Yeah, but I
mean, god, remember Google Stadium.

697
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:37.159
Yeah yeah, I mean I was
gonna type about that in the catch.

698
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:39.199
We'll see. We have time a
little bit I want to touch on a

699
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:42.280
little bit, so we'll get to
that. Let's let's do this story which

700
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.360
just broke. Thanks to Tam I
think for adding this. Blizzard net and

701
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:50.920
net East scrap Warcraft mobile game after
financing dispute Activision Blizzard Inc. And net

702
00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:53.719
Easy Inc. V torpedoed a World
of Warcraft smartphone game that has been in

703
00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:59.079
development for three years, raising questions
about one of the industry's most lucrative business

704
00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:02.599
relationships. The now canceled, titled
code named Neptune, was envisioned as a

705
00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:07.480
massively multiplayer online role playing games set
in the use same universe as World of

706
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:10.320
Warcraft. It wouldn't be a direct
translation of the popular online online game,

707
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:15.000
but a spinoff set during a different
time period. A spokesperson for Nettie's declined

708
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:21.239
to comment. An Activision Book Blizzard
spokesperson had no comment. Uh Net East

709
00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:23.960
has disbanded a team of more than
one hundred developers tasked with creating the content

710
00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:29.519
for the title, only some of
whom were offered internal transfers. People familiar

711
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:32.639
with the matter said the two companies
disagreed over terms and ultimately called a halt

712
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:36.840
to the project, which had been
kept under wraps. A person familiar with

713
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:40.679
the deal said, asking to not
be identified discussing private information. Uh net

714
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:45.519
East has disbanded a team of more
than one hundred developers tasked with creating content

715
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:46.920
for the title. I'm sorry,
that's the remember meeting and stuff? Now?

716
00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:54.239
My bad, I'm just bron burgery
over here. Okay, this is

717
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:59.239
weird. Why why is this happening
this week? These projects have been been

718
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:00.880
in development for a long time,
getting put it on the shelf? I

719
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:05.440
mean it's happing over at WB with
some of their movies for tax reasons apparently,

720
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:08.320
and it's like you put all this
work in. How hard can it

721
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:13.440
be to find the common ground on
a deal where both people both cut,

722
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:15.599
both entities can benefit, and then
you can put all that work to you.

723
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:20.239
So, I mean, I guess
I get like not being tied down

724
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:22.960
by the scent cost fallacy of like
we put in all this money, we

725
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:25.719
have to get something out of it. But this still feels like a backward

726
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:30.400
way of doing things. Yeah,
especially, I mean I wonder if it

727
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:35.440
isn't something to do with what's happened
with Diablo Immortal and how I mean that

728
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:37.960
that game has made a ton of
money, and I wonder if it isn't

729
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:43.719
just some dispute over where that money
has gone, because yeah, you don't

730
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:45.679
just scrap something that's been in well, you don't often scrap something this's but

731
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:51.320
in development for three years, especially
when it has something like Woolcraft attached to

732
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:55.360
it, like Diablo Immortally. Yeah, like I'm not gonna play it.

733
00:48:55.360 --> 00:49:00.480
I don't I don't want to go
for those uh micro transactions, but like

734
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:04.400
it's certainly found no audience, it's
made a ton of money. I don't

735
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:07.400
understand why they couldn't think that Wolcraft
would do the same. So there's definitely

736
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:13.199
something else going on. Yeah,
it's interesting to see what though, And

737
00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:15.360
I wonder if it is Diappo Mortals
has anything to do with it. Yeah,

738
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.920
possibly it's you know, you have
the one successful thing you don't need

739
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:23.559
to force another, I guess,
and Diappo Mortal very very successful. Absolutely.

740
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:29.000
Okay, let's go into the catchup. I want to just get people

741
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:31.960
at heads up about game pass games
coming in August. Cloud plus Console plus

742
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:37.360
A PC are getting a Ghost Recon
wild Lands cooking simulator, two Point Campus

743
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:42.639
and Turbo Golf Racing. I think
two point Campus and Triple Golf Racing both

744
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:47.960
brand new games, right, Yeah, two point Campus comes out next week

745
00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:52.400
and Turbo Golf Racing comes out tomorrow. So yeah, it's that's pretty exciting.

746
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:54.599
Ghost Recon wild Lands. I wonder
if that gets any bumped from game

747
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:59.400
passcott that's one of those ones that
that's that was the Ghost Recon game that

748
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:01.960
was like made you soft p rethink
everything they were doing because it fizzled so

749
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:07.679
quickly. UH, PC only game
Pass expeditions, Roam off World Trading Company,

750
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:12.440
and shinzen Io, so look out
for those if you are a game

751
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:15.880
Pass subscriber. UH. During the
Pokemon Direct Lucy, I know you didn't

752
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:22.320
watch it. They showed one of
the characters in the game speaking and jan

753
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:28.679
Choa was like, wow, voice
acting. And then the trailer if you

754
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:31.599
go to watch the trailer now on
YouTube, actually let's miss it again.

755
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:34.880
Get this? Where do I have? Is I have this somewhere? Yeah?

756
00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:37.760
There we go, only transition here. The trailer does not reflect actual

757
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:42.920
gameplay experience. The on screen text
and voiceovers are not present in the game,

758
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.800
and it says voiceovers and I don't
know, maybe does that apply to

759
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:52.320
voice acting, But when you watch
the trailer, it's very clear that like

760
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:57.679
that, that character and many other
characters are not voiced in almost every other

761
00:50:57.719 --> 00:51:00.360
scenario other than this one instance where
the character is just sort of telling it

762
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.119
does sound like a voiceover for a
trailer, and that sounds like the character

763
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:07.199
is narrating the trailer. This is
weird, right, Why do they do

764
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.559
Why do they draw attention to the
fact that Pokemon still doesn't have voice acting?

765
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:15.960
So weird, And I mean I
get it. I get why you

766
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:19.400
don't want to put voice acting in. It's a localization cost, you have

767
00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:22.679
to pay extra factors, it's a
whole thing. Yeah, syn is fun.

768
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:27.800
I get it, will I put
it in the trailer. It's really

769
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:31.000
big. I mean, I haven't
watched this yet, but like, sorry,

770
00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:37.679
raising I don't understand. Was Chris
Pratt busy? That's the only explanation.

771
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:44.440
It's going to him every character,
professor, I choose you Pikachu.

772
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:46.000
I remember when I was in the
laundry, Matt and I saw a Pikachu

773
00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:50.519
and I didn't have the money to
play with them. But fucking I'm sorry

774
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:54.320
my Chris Pratt story. I go
back to we'll ask about this in the

775
00:51:54.360 --> 00:52:00.039
poll because about voiceover voice acting coming
to Pokemon ever it to me, it

776
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:04.480
doesn't seem like it's very likely.
But I mean, ash Pratch, I'm

777
00:52:04.599 --> 00:52:07.480
very good, very good, very
good. That's just so weird. Why

778
00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:13.960
would you do that? That's like
the opposite of marketing Google Stadia. Google

779
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:17.320
says it's not shutting down Stadia,
and Lucy, do you believe them?

780
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:24.280
Oh? I like, I mean, I think Stadia as what it was

781
00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:30.119
originally envisioned is pretty much dead in
the world. But I think a technology

782
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:31.800
is going to be repurposed somewhere else. And I think that was that that

783
00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:35.320
was supposed to be their plan,
right, was to kind of shop it

784
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:38.320
around, and I just wonder if
maybe they just haven't found the home for

785
00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:42.480
it yet. Yeah, the or
the business because it is like it was

786
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:46.039
pretty pretty good tech, but like
the tech will live on somewhere else exactly.

787
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:51.280
Uh, this this thing frustrates frustrates
me in particular because it's the This

788
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:53.000
happened to me twice in the last
couple of months, I think, once

789
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:59.360
with Battlefield and the other time what
did I say was getting shut something something

790
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:01.320
else, and I it was like, Okay, things are not going for

791
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:06.239
Champions were thank you Rolder Champions,
Like, things are not going great there.

792
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.159
They're probably gonna wrap things up,
and you know, I'll say a

793
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:12.840
word like canceled, or I'll say
a word like Skeleton Crew, and I

794
00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.840
think these companies will come back and
be like, well, that's not exactly

795
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:17.599
what's happening. So this story isn't
isn't accurate. I'm like, okay,

796
00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:23.960
it's very frustrating to say, like
like trying to nail down the exact truth

797
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:28.559
on the ground of what's happened with
a game or service that is either coming

798
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:30.760
to an end or is trying to
figure out how to transition into this long

799
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:36.000
end of life process or whatever,
and so it's like the end of life

800
00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:38.159
care. Yeah, end of life
care. Trying to figure out the verbiage

801
00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:43.119
around it is difficult, and so
when I'm trying to people try to tell

802
00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:45.159
these stories or try to figure out
what's going on, and then these companies

803
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:50.719
just came back and don't really provide
extra information. They just say that particular

804
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:52.480
thing isn't true, and it's like, well, then what is happening over

805
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:55.920
there? Tell us more about what's
going on? I think, and I

806
00:53:55.960 --> 00:54:00.199
still think in many cases the things
they do answer to and they say,

807
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:01.559
oh, well, you know,
we still have plans to do other things.

808
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:06.679
It's it's never quite denying what the
original story of the original reporting is

809
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:09.880
trying to get at. But I
would imagine if it's like a shot ahold

810
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:14.400
of yeah thing, you know,
it's like they didn't get to control the

811
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:17.679
messaging, and so they want to
get as much control as they can possibly

812
00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:22.199
so it doesn't look like it's a
it's a really bad thing. That's probably

813
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:27.199
a very good point. Uh,
Okay, let's get to the polls.

814
00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:30.480
Let's bring these up here. Yeah, there we go. Okay, is

815
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:34.280
call of duty on game Pass going
to convince more players to pick up an

816
00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:37.599
Xbox. We asked this on Monday, and seventy nine point three percent said

817
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:42.400
yes, twenty point seven percent said
no. And I think that's a that's

818
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:45.880
a fair split on that, because
that's the whole point of it, right,

819
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:49.400
Lucy, The whole reason you spend
all that money is to shift people

820
00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:52.719
towards your platform, correct, exactly, Like why else am I going to

821
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:55.480
be paying it? You know?
Yeah, oh no, sorry, why

822
00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:59.440
else are they going to be paying
it? Because I'm already paying it?

823
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:01.840
They know they I already got me. They're trying to give me the most

824
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:07.039
all the games. It'll keep me
tied to them, So yeah, that

825
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:09.599
makes sense. They are. They
probably have the numbers to see, like

826
00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:15.800
the amount of people who subscribe to
Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Network just to

827
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:21.599
play Call Duty online. And even
if it's just those people showing up,

828
00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:23.239
they're like, well, if I
get game passed for five dollars extra per

829
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:27.079
month, I'll get that game,
and I'll get it to be able to

830
00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:29.960
play it online, and I get
all these extra games. It's sort of

831
00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:31.639
like, is a very easy pitch
to make it Like, oh, this

832
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:35.400
serves our game pass purposes, and
then on top of that we get King

833
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:37.000
and all these other things. Obviously
that's you know, why they go for

834
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:40.800
it. But for today's pool,
let's see, I wanted to ask this

835
00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:47.559
about Pokemon voice acting. Let's go
for it. Will a mainline Pokemon game

836
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:53.920
have full voice acting within the next
five years, Lucy? Do you think

837
00:55:53.960 --> 00:56:01.199
there's any chance that happens? Yeah, but but I wonder if it's not

838
00:56:01.239 --> 00:56:04.559
just going to be one of those
things where it's like, we gotta make

839
00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.079
Pokemon different. I don't know why
that they've got this voice We've gotta make

840
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:10.280
Pokemon different. What are the kids
like? The kids they like? They

841
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:19.199
like the voice acting. It's the
Tom Cruise producer character from Tropic Thunder the

842
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:22.400
Kids, Jan says eight years,
eight years, Okay, I'm very good.

843
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:25.199
It's also but also I think,
yeah, abs raise is a great

844
00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:28.880
point. Voice acting, yes,
but will it be good? Yeah?

845
00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:32.119
Well no, that's no, No, it won't be absolutely okay. And

846
00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:37.400
maybe that's another question, like did
people even want these games to have voice

847
00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:39.280
acting? If they were, if
it would be bad and I think a

848
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:44.000
lot of people would say no.
I wonder if there's an option, because

849
00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:46.400
I mean, like typically if I've
e if I've ever played a like a

850
00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:52.400
JOPG where the English dub is,
I like to play this stuff in Japanese

851
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:57.119
where I can uh if if they
give you the option of both the English

852
00:56:57.159 --> 00:57:00.639
and and jepany, that will probably
default to Jepanese. Well, they could

853
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:04.719
do the okami thing just like a
nonsense language or like an animal crossing,

854
00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:10.440
like yeah, yeah, I think
I'm honestly, I think there's probably a

855
00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:15.599
lot of those like character well no, because it's just like the sound effect

856
00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:20.559
right too, when a character comes
on the screen to the fight. Have

857
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:28.239
they changed Have they changed those?
Like because when the box from the Pokemon

858
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:31.159
like still the old game Boy ones
where it was like it sounded like a

859
00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:37.239
I don't know, someone yelling down
a wire and going through a blender.

860
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:40.199
Right, yeah, I think they
change those. They sound like normal now.

861
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:44.440
I think it's still mostly that,
right. I think it's that.

862
00:57:44.639 --> 00:57:49.320
I think it's because they go for
that the nostalgia nostalgi effect and also game

863
00:57:49.320 --> 00:57:52.760
free globes that were used stuff.
So yeah, there's still just those chimes.

864
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:55.159
Oh there's still thoughts apparently according to
still like oh yeah, there's still

865
00:57:55.199 --> 00:58:00.800
Midi Cries cries ridiculous. By the
way, Midi crist my favorite b York

866
00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:06.639
album. Okay, what's what's up
on Giant Bomb? Uh? This?

867
00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:10.039
This this day? This Wednesday,
August third, twenty twenty two, Lucy

868
00:58:10.119 --> 00:58:14.639
James's birthday. What are we expecting
today? Oh? Thank you Joy when

869
00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:19.119
he said happy birthday. Yeah,
it is very excited to say. Jeff

870
00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:22.440
Jes's Bizarre Adventure. We have finished
the one Punchman Guidan and we are back

871
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:29.880
with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. And we
have begun Stardust Crusaders with everyone's problematic fave

872
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:35.400
Joe Tarrow, like to the point
I say problematic fave because he keeps calling

873
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:39.400
his mum a bitch. Like He's
like, you're so annoying, bitch.

874
00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:43.920
I'm like, well, it's just
it's just the original Jesse piece, the

875
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:49.440
influence for Jesse Pinkman absolutely. So
that's that's coming out today. It's the

876
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.599
first two episodes of Started Crusaders.
We've got Arcade pit. Who's on the

sticker stream not happening, but album

887
00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:39.119
or forty nine featuring Dan reicherd Lucy. I have got to see this.

888
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:46.559
I'm I'm already scared, confused,
excited. Do you know what they're talking

889
00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:51.440
about? I know, but everyone
says, I think Jan knows, but

890
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:54.599
we're supposed to spoil it or not. No, let's let's not spoil.

891
00:59:54.719 --> 00:59:58.320
Apparently it's like a Jan I think
he said you liked this album, so

892
00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:00.599
I'm like, what is it?
I didn't want to like? What kind

893
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:05.960
of music does down? Yeah?
I mean the only thing like this is

894
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:08.440
a guest, so maybe it's not
a spoiler is it Chinese Democracy by Guns

895
01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:13.679
n' Roses. I think that's possible
because the only person who liked that,

896
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:15.800
Yeah, yeah, he was like
into the actually anticipating it for years.

897
01:00:16.199 --> 01:00:20.360
But his personal like clashing with her
is just gonna be I think fantasty.

898
01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:24.840
They're gonna be a gas. I
can't wait. And then yeah, it's

899
01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:29.159
not on the calendar, but we
are doing a fortnight stream. Oops all

900
01:00:29.199 --> 01:00:31.400
seen us. Look out for that
later today as well, everybody. So

901
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:37.199
that was a fantastic moment in disco
the other day where Jason was trying to

902
01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:39.960
find John Zena and he went,
I don't want this to be part of

903
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:45.679
the bit, but I genuinely can't
see him in the store. Ah,

904
01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:49.440
what a dumb thing. That's so
fun, and he was he'd gone early.

905
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:52.920
