00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:10.199
You know we utter dummy beer.
It's the Internet. You're busy. Let's

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.239
Let me help you sort through the
world of gaming on game mess Mornings

4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:21.000
Live with Me Jeff Grub. Today, John Romero is making a new first

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.519
person shooter, so suck it down, Dikeatana. But first please join me

in watch and welcoming today's co host
to Gamess Mornings. It's Lucy James from

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.439
Giant Bomb and GameSpot. Everybody,
Lucy, how's it going? I E

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.039
good morning. Let's go well,
although you might have to this well,

9
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.119
there are some kind of truck outside
sure. Also, my cat is being

10
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.000
so loud this morning. I mean
you were watching in the in the little

11
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.320
kind of mike chest stuff, you'll
have maybe heard it. So that's another

12
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.520
thing that in battling against this morning. I mean, shout out like shout

13
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.880
out to cats. Cats having a
big week. They are no longer gonna

14
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.719
lay down and they're gonna stand up
for their rights now that stray is so

15
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.520
successful. Cats finally going to speak
out for themselves. That's a big thing

16
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.920
happening this weekend. You've playing any
of that stripe and yeah, I was

17
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.519
playing it on PC the other day
and I'm actually I actually upgraded my PS

18
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.680
plus, so I like, this
is so bad. I spent all day

19
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.280
at my desk and I had a
code for PC and I was playing it

20
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.359
and I was like, yeah,
this is great, but I could be

21
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:27.159
playing this on my couch. So
I upgraded my Premium two premium, and

22
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.400
so I downloaded it yesterday. But
I'm not letting myself play it until I've

23
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.879
finished a Plague Tale, which I
thought I was going to finish last night,

24
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.519
but then I didn't. I think
I'm right at the end, and

25
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.040
so that's probably gonna be my my
night tonight is hopefully starting straight on PS

26
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.319
five. But I loved it.
I played on PC. Yeah, I

27
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.560
got it kind of running right on
steam Deck. Now that's a little bit

28
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.560
of doing where it was like,
Okay, I want to play this on

29
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.840
a couch too, but I want
to be like laying prone and just kind

30
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.200
of barely holding a thing over my
head and that's how I want to play.

31
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.599
But it was like, you know, the frame, it was pretty

32
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.040
rough. I kind of gotta I
use some of the years the steam Deck

33
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.120
settings to really dial that in like
half right shading, a few other things

34
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.240
worked. Now it's like a pretty
a solid it's like a you know,

35
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.080
a near forty forty five frames per
second most of the time. There's still

36
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.240
a few dips here there, but
it's playable at least, and that's kind

37
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.800
of how I've been playing it.
But I'm getting into it. It's fun.

38
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.560
I enjoyed. I think it's not
what I was expecting. I think

39
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.000
I was expecting more of an open
world explore the world as a cat,

40
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.879
where you know, you could jump
anywhere and you'd be able to traverse anywhere,

41
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:36.919
And it's much more like you're gonna
there are spots where we have these

42
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.240
things, these spots set up that
are context sensitive and you'll only be able

43
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.240
to jump there and you kind of
look around for those. It's still really

44
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.759
fun though, I'm still really enjoying
them, and the cat animations are so

45
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.080
good. As a cat person,
I am very much into it. So

46
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.240
yeah, I have it played it
in front of my animal that yet though

47
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.680
he's not seen it, So maybe
pull that off today and see what he

48
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.919
thinks he should. There's a whole
there's a whole Twitter account called like cats

49
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:04.240
watching stray and post. I posted
mine on Monday. Mine was Peanut was

50
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.080
on the couch and just because there
is like the Dedicade me out button and

51
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:13.840
she was just absolutely furious when I
kept playing it. She's just like looking

52
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.759
up at me, and I was
like, it's okay, it's fine.

53
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.879
She was like, no cats all
right. Before we get into the mess,

64
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.039
we have a lot to get into, so let's start the Morning Mess with

65
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.400
Xbox is expanding its Discord integration.
They announced this this morning. This is

66
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.639
from the Xbox Blog. All your
friends and communities are now in one place.

67
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:13.039
Get ready to connect with your Discord
friends and communities on Xbox. Discord

68
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.000
Voice Chat is coming to Xbox Series
X and S and Xbox One consoles.

69
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.839
You'll be able to chat with anyone
on Discord via voice channels or group calls

70
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.720
directly from your console, making it
easy to connect with friends across mobile,

71
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.879
Xbox, and PC. The update
will start rolling out to Xbox insiders today

72
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.920
and will be available soon for everyone. There's a little bit more to this.

73
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.879
I think the big thing for me
is, let's see done in like,

74
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.519
link your Discord account to your Xbox, and they explain how to do

75
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.120
it. They say, once your
Discord account is linked to Xbox, you

76
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.600
can hop into a channel you'd like
to talk in using Discord, just as

77
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.040
you normally would with any other Discord
integration. This is just now Discord on

78
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.000
Xbox, like the full, you
know, full fat Discord. I'm pretty

79
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.120
excited about this As someone who has
several animals or several different Discord servers.

80
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:05.839
I'm in and like, and yet
there's still people that doing those Discord servers

81
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.560
who do primarily play on Xbox,
and then once that starts happening, there's

82
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.800
like this weird disconnect of people.
I guess I'll get on my phone and

83
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.879
talk to you there. So I'm
excited this solves a problem for me in

84
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.959
my community. Yeah, I'm kind
of thrilled. Like Discord has fast quickly

85
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.680
become like the thing that I use
to talk to people the most. I'm

86
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.600
very excited that it is coming to
Xbox, just because it's so much easier,

87
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.240
like just to hop in with people, and especially like you know,

88
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.279
I don't know, I add a
lot of people, like I have a

89
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.600
lot of people on my friends list. But I remember when we were trying

90
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.040
to play Halo Infinite across PC and
Xbox, it didn't work as smoothly.

91
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.120
I remember, like we had a
couple issues getting into a party for some

92
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.199
reason. And it all depends on
like if you're friends with the person,

93
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.279
if a party is closed and stuff, Yeah, you can work through that

94
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.759
stuff. But if you're already in
a Discord server, like we have a

95
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.240
of with a bunch of my friends
where it's just sort of, oh,

96
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.759
shall we play this game? Yes, I will see you there. Whereas

97
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.920
if you could just hop into a
discord rather than have to kind of,

98
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.519
I don't know, take another step
to figure stuff out, that's that's very

99
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.279
helpful. Yeah, yeah, points
out it's not full discord in terms of

100
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.360
like having like the text channels and
the video stuff, So you're not gonna

101
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.399
be able to like, yeah,
plug in your keyboard and keep up with

102
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.480
like all the text the stuff that's
happening, are not going to see the

103
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.000
several people are typing thing. But
all of the audio stuff seems to be

104
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.040
there though, So all the audio
channel of features and stuff, and that's

105
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.959
like that would be the first if
they had to like pick one of the

106
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.720
features to bring, that was the
first one that I would want anyhow.

107
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.399
And this still solves my major problem
with having different people on different platforms.

108
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.839
This, you know, kind of
keeps bringing people together. Like we've been

109
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.399
moving in this direction where you know, the cross platform play is one thing,

110
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:57.000
but cross platforms sort of just communities
is of still has been a hassle.

111
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.800
This seems to solve some of those
issues. I'll say that I think

112
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.000
one of the reasons Microsoft is probably
moving in this direction is that This serves

113
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:10.560
their larger goal of getting people encouraged
to play games on game Pass, and

114
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.279
one of the key ways to do
that is through word of mouth and having

115
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.959
people in a discord say, hey, I'm you know, come play with

116
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.079
me. I'm on Xbox Live right
now, play using this game that I

117
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:24.040
got an Xbox Game Pass. Why
don't you just go get Xbox Game Pass

118
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.759
as well. It's this really good
deal and you could just play with me

119
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.319
and we could continue our conversation.
When you had to be like Okay,

120
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:31.720
yeah, I'm gonna do that,
and now I'm gonna go should we go

121
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.399
start an Xbox Live party like that, just that little bit of friction might

122
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:40.399
be enough to derail that sort of
word of mouth process that was happening there.

123
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.759
Now it's just like, hey,
yeah, we're in this discord together.

124
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.959
We hang out here every day.
We end up playing games on Steam

125
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.079
all the time. I convince you
to buy games on Steam all the time

126
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.959
because we we've found out we really
like playing games together. This sort of

127
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.000
facilitates that in the direction of Okay, now, if you play on Xbox,

128
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.079
you could still be one hundred percent
part of that conversation and part of

129
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.480
that, you know, moving from
one game to the next, even if

130
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.560
that game is on your Xbox and
on Xbox Game Pass. So yeah,

131
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.920
this makes a lot of sense to
me. I'm not too surprised to see

132
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.560
this happening. I never messed around
with the Discord integration on PlayStation. Do

133
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.639
you know if it's anything similar to
this or yeah, that did happen,

134
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.720
right, because they made a big
deal about it, right, they like

135
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.000
they were like yeah, so they
were like, hey, we're doing this

136
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.720
big integration, and then the integration
came, and I think it might have

137
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.720
just been like like rich rich information. What is it called when like they

138
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.639
tell you what you're doing. You
could just link your accounts and that just

139
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.919
says like, okay, this person
is on their PlayStation playing a game.

140
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.120
Just shows game status mpsn I D
it's a yeah, I'm looking it up

141
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.159
hanging on a popular popular communication,
did I service will integrate with those social

142
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.200
experience beginning early next year? That
was from May twenty twenty one. Yeah,

143
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.440
so like that was I remember they
making a big deal about it and

144
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.360
then it came anything it doesn't have
to change anything, okay, But they

145
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.799
like early on they made it sound
like that like it was going to be

146
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.799
a serious integration with Discord. I
bet that stuff is still coming. Like

147
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.480
the like the original Discord integration with
Xbox was very similar. It was you

148
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.120
know, rich profile information like,
hey, I'm on my Discord on PC.

149
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.559
Someone an Xbox just had linked their
account and now they're playing Halo excuse

150
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.120
me, Halo or whatever. I
could see them playing Halo on their Xbox

151
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.080
on Discord and that was kind of
it. That seems like that's where PlayStation

152
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.240
is at. But now Xbox has
got full voice integration, so I would

153
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.759
assume PlayStation is going to get that
soon as well. And then you would

154
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.759
hope unless unless Microsoft paid a pretty
penny and what like, you don't.

155
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.399
Yeah, maybe that was like maybe
that's part of it. Maybe it's part

156
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.080
of like a close relationship of you
know, hey, come use Microsoft as

157
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.080
your cloud services and stuff for any
of your new features, and we can

158
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.360
help you figure that out in the
meantime, why don't we just test this

159
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.559
out on Xbox? Like that stuff
could be what's happening here. I still

160
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:58.879
think like Sony has a investment in
Discord. I believe they like part of

161
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.720
that, like raising money not too
long ago. So Sony is still very

162
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.480
close with Discord. I think the
next thing here though, is when does

163
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.320
the switch or switch to get Discord
instead of just that stupid phone app,

164
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:16.679
right, that's what we need nin
Nintendo would never like they They're just like,

165
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.759
no, you get to use our
app. It's fine everyone. You

166
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.759
don't need this we have at home. Yeah, we don't need it.

167
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.480
You don't need it. I mean
I think, yeah, I wonder if

168
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.639
maybe with regard to PlayStation maybe it
was just a little bit more difficult to

169
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.960
implement, Yeah, I think,
which is kind of always the big thing

170
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.279
for PS three, right that you
know, I mean, I know PS

171
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:45.559
four and five can have changed a
lot code a PlayStation network from the p

172
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.200
S three. Maybe still holding some
things back that I mean, that was

173
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.279
always a huge issue that might be
could be what's happening here maybe, Yeah.

174
00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:00.039
You know, Sony is a leader
in terms of console sales, and

175
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.159
keeping people in their platform is something
that they've made clear as important to them,

176
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.399
and when a cross platform play was
coming up, they're like, oh,

177
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.759
we gotta keep people safe from those
degenerates on Xbox. And really it

178
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.279
was about, well, this is
gonna happen people someone's gonna have to pay

179
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.320
us, and who's gonna pay us? It's not gonna be the players,

180
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.200
right, So if you want to
make border Lands cross platform, well show

181
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.000
up and pay uh, you know, developer of the game. I think

182
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.039
that this could still be some like
a legacy of that as well of them

183
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.240
being like, hey, we already
have people on PlayStation network and they can

184
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.279
have all these features, and we
want them playing with other PlayStation people.

185
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.919
We don't want them seeing their friends
on PC and sort of maybe being drawn

186
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.080
in that direction. That's I think
that's backwards thinking mostly, but it could

187
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.480
still be the you know, the
decision, the factor here that is preventing

188
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.200
them from going full bore with Discord
on PlayStation. Or maybe they will and

189
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.039
in next week they'll announce all this
stuff is coming to PlayStation as well.

190
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.720
Who knows, we'll see. Yeah, it would be it would be strange

191
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.639
to them to discount PC completely given
the fact that they'll put more of their

192
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.600
first party stuff on PC. Yep. But maybe maybe it's just, you

193
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.240
know, there's always factors that we're
not necessarily aware of. Hopefully it will

194
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.600
come to PlayStation eventually, just because
it's useful. Discord is so usul.

195
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.960
It's just a very like it's a
very easy way to get like I never

196
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.240
would have had, like like the
game mess community like that I have now

197
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.559
if it weren't for an easy platform
that is free and easy access on phone

198
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:28.159
and PC for everyone. So yeah, it just completely changed everything for me.

199
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.120
So yeah, let's see. Paradox
says Bloodlines two is in good hands,

200
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.799
but won't be shown at PDX Con
twenty twenty two. This is from

201
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.919
Tom Ivan at VGC. The sequel
was almost canceled last year after being pulled

202
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.759
from its original developer. In response
to request for news about the game,

203
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.840
Wester said on Twitter on Tuesday that
Bloodlines two is in good hands. However,

204
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.600
he also told fans that the title
isn't due to be shown at the

205
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.679
upcoming convention that it's having in September. The game is in good hands and

206
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.559
we look forward to showing you more
when the team and the game is ready.

207
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.120
But but Bloodlines two was origin initially
being developed by hard Suit Labs and

208
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.960
was scheduled for at least in twenty
twenty. However, in August twenty twenty,

209
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.519
the action RPG sequel was delayed to
twenty twenty one, and both its

210
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.559
creative director and lead narrative designer narrative
designer were fired. In February twenty twenty

211
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.559
one, Paradox delayed Bule Lines two
again and announced it had polled development from

212
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.159
hard Suit Labs entirely. So they've
yes this like this is one of these

213
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.000
games that people always asked about on
grub snacks and stuff like that, where

214
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.200
we're like, hey, what's what's
going on. It's like, I don't

215
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.720
know, it seems like something's still
happening, but overall, like there's not

216
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.799
a lot of, you know,
much word on it. One thing,

217
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.919
you know, that did seem like
it was likely as they could have been

218
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.519
canceled and the sequel was almost canceled, but they seem to have found a

219
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.919
pathway forward for this game. I
don't know, is this the kind of

220
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.120
thing, Lucy, that you think
a studio and a publisher can kind of

221
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.360
come back from such rocky development and
actually put out a game that is worth

222
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.720
anyone's time. I mean, I'm
can through the VGC article right now and

223
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.799
I'm like, who did they even
give it to? No one knows,

224
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.600
Like it even says at the bottom
of the article, like, well,

225
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.919
good hands, good hands, Maybe
that's the team, Maybe should be capital.

226
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.159
Yeah, Wester has said that it
is a very reputable and talented developer.

227
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.320
Yeah, what do we do with
that information? Just tell us what's

228
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.440
going on? Cool? I'm sure
you said that hard Suit Labs were very

229
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.679
talented and developer and then you kind
of yanked everything away. I don't know

230
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.600
what to think about it, honestly, because it's like, I really want

231
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:41.000
to know just how badly it was
going at hard Suit Labs for the creative

232
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.600
director and the lead narrative to be
fired and then the game to be yanked

233
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:50.039
completely, like yeah, I mean
Mutton pandit says what possible reason is there

234
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.919
for not saying who's making it?
It's really it's really weird unless the only

235
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.840
real thing that I can think of
it's a similar thing, and this game

236
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:03.720
hasn't come out. Uh what do
you call it Dead Island too? Right?

237
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.159
Yes? Geez? Because it was
with Dead Island, who was with

238
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:16.320
Techland Techland? Then it went to
Yake, then it's now it's Sumo.

239
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.279
Right. I don't think Yea even
exists anymore, right, I don't think

240
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.559
yeah You're exists anymore? Then,
it's a sumo. Oh no, didn't

241
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.080
Yaga do the cycle or something?
Maybe people from the team that could be

242
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:33.120
right, yes, yeah, Like, I don't know, it's such a

243
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.440
weird one. Like but at least
I just know we're going to get a

244
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.360
fantastic expose and maybe a year and
a bit which would be fantastic. But

245
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.039
like, who who do you think
would be a studio who would make it?

246
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:50.360
Deeo Kojima. It's Kojima operating under
the name Hassan. He's going to

247
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.519
find it. But this is the
this is abandoned. Everybody, God,

248
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.320
this is abandoned. We've we've done
it. We're at the bottom of the

249
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.519
mystery. I don't I don't know. I mean, it's like a lot

250
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.480
of studios are very busy. If
you're a studio with any sort of track

251
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.320
record, you could probably get work
right now, either working on a work

252
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.080
for higher thing we're working in supports
studio, or pitching your stuff. And

253
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.480
publishers were really looking for a lot
of content because there's a lot of places

254
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.360
to put your content, you know, not the least of which is like

255
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.879
a subscription platform. So like,
studios are busy, and so where do

256
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.720
you like when you have this project
and it's falling apart and then you look

257
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.360
up you're like, Okay, who
can come work on this for us?

258
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.600
And basically probably have to start from
scratch. That's a desperate situation. And

259
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:36.519
I bet one of the issues is
that any studio that would be stepping in

260
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.559
would be like, hey, you
look pretty desperate. We demand a premium,

261
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.399
And that probably means that they're looking
for maybe a little bit more of

262
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.480
a creative way to make this happen, working with a studio that maybe doesn't

263
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.440
have a track record, and maybe
trying to bring in someone who can oversee

264
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.279
them and manage them mixtures. I
mean, there's a lot of factors here

265
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.519
that could make this be like we
are still figuring this out. But now

266
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:02.000
he says it's in good hands,
and it's like he could have just said,

267
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.319
listen, the future is uncertain.
We were not sure we're going to

268
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.039
try to make something happen here,
but no promises. Saying it's in good

269
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.680
hands, it means like, Okay, full steam ahead, something's eventually going

270
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.480
to come out here. I don't
know. I feel like they need to

271
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.839
follow up soon with actual concrete information. Although he says it's not going to

272
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:26.519
be at their conventions, so who
knows even even not not like a you

273
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.240
know, just just a reveal of
who's making it could maybe assuage a lot

274
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.039
of necessarily fears around the game.
But you know this is gonna be this

275
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.640
is gonna be the conversation about it
now and not getting the chance to change

276
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.240
the narrative. It's basically now it
is, Oh, the game was so

277
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.599
bad, A good ship cand along
with the creative director and lead narrative like

278
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.920
that's the narrative now, is that
this game was unsalvageable at that point and

279
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.400
then it was yanked away from someone
and now it's given something's so rotten.

280
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.279
Yeah, they could they could change
the narrative and be like, okay,

281
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.799
it's with this team, it's with
x L Y I was E and you

282
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.440
know, people would actually get excited
again and there's a lot of unraveling to

283
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.759
do, I guess because didn't they
announce like there was trailers and stuff and

284
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.359
there was kind of an announcement about
what the game was actually going to be,

285
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.720
yes, and now yeah, it's
it's such a strange one. And

286
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.000
then they released because they have their
own convention right, Yes, they released

287
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:25.359
that like Battle Royal Vampire game.
Right, that was not too long ago

288
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.480
on the Masquerade or yeah it's one
song. No, that was the APG.

289
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.839
Yes, but something like that.
That's close. I can't I can't

290
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.680
remember, but either way, yes, So they have other stuff happening with

291
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.200
this brand Bloodlines too, though still
missing in action other than being in good

292
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.160
hands. Okay, blood blood Hunt, blood hunts. There you go,

293
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.880
very good. Huh. All right, let's see here. Hello Games announce

294
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.200
this endurance update for No Man's Sky. Here's some like details from the YouTube

295
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.839
video description. I believe dramatically expand
your capital ship and update three point nine

296
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:03.480
four Endurance Intrude. You're seen deeper
and more varied freighter based building, including

297
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.000
in exterior platforms and catwalks, enhanced
nebula and deep space storms, fleets of

298
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:14.680
organic frigates, and so much more. Freighter bases have been completely reinvented with

299
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.000
a huge array of new parts and
themed rooms, allowing players to quickly assemble

300
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.960
a visually varied and distinctive home in
the stars. These predecorated rooms can be

301
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:29.519
further customized, or players can use
empty rooms room variants and take total control

302
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:34.480
over decoration. They're also gonna have
stuff like specialist crew wandering around in your

303
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.519
freighters and stuff like that. Basically, they want to make this feel much

304
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.920
more like the Starship Enterprise. Basically
will make it feel a little bit more

305
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.680
start like Star Trek. I've got
the trailer plane here. No Man's Sky

306
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.079
another big free update, Lucy,
How when's the last time you checked in

307
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:56.039
on this game? Sixteen? Could
anything get you back? I always wonder

308
00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:00.400
like there's like there's got to be
like there's the windows of the audience,

309
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.799
right, percentages of the audience like
Okay, I'll check back in when you

310
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.599
do something I'm interested in, and
other part it is like I'll just check

311
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.119
in on every update because I love
this game. But there's got to be

312
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.319
a significant chunk there's like I tried
it when it came out, I've moved

313
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.599
on and nothing will ever bring me
back. And yet they keep doing the

314
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:19.759
same strategy. It must be working
for them, right, Yeah. I

315
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.519
mean I'm really thrilled for Hello Games
because I was I was there, man,

316
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:29.160
I was in the trenches when No
Man's Sky launched. I remember getting

317
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:33.640
the code in and I remember thinking, oh, no, is this not

318
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.400
what we thought it was. And
anyway, I'm just to just be able

319
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.440
to see the way that they've turned
it around, and they seem to be

320
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.039
pushing out these meaningful updates, and
I swear they just had a pretty meaningful

321
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:51.039
update. So the fact that they
are still kind of working on this game

322
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:55.519
people are really happy with it,
I'm kind of I'm thrilled for them.

323
00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:00.519
It is the kind of game that
I just if I think I'm gonna sit

324
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.880
down with a game, it's not
one that springs to mind. It's,

325
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.799
you know, probably because I'm at
a point now where I kind of just

326
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:08.559
I just want to finish games,
and for a game like No Mind Sky,

327
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:14.799
whether is technically I guess no ending
insight, it's potentially limitless. It's

328
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.839
just don't what I'm looking for right
now. I need the structure I need,

329
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.440
I need the I need the trophy
saying you completed it. Yeah,

330
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.319
I'm I'm kind of I'm usually right
there with you. I think there are

331
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.559
occasionally times when it's like, Okay, it probably is time to check back

332
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.599
in. And the good news there
is with No Man's Sky especially, it

333
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.519
builds up over time, and now
it's going to be so much different than

334
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.119
the last time I played, it'll
be it will feel like a whole new

335
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.279
game in some ways. This is
the thing though, like at a certain

336
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:47.880
point they could have taken you know, ten of these updates right and done

337
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.200
with the Overwatch is trying to do
and say, oh, this is No

338
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:53.359
Man's Sky too, and here's an
expansion pack and you can pay for it,

339
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.799
And like, does that marketing never
work for you? Because I think,

340
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.160
like Destiny two was gonna had so
many updates and I'm not going back

341
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.839
to it. But if they put
out a Destiny three that's essentially the same

342
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.319
thing, but like, you know, updated in some key ways, I

343
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.759
probably would check out on it.
And I don't know what the difference really

344
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:14.240
is anymore. I mean the Destiny, I would say. And I was

345
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:18.000
just talking about this with skill Up
the other day, and like I asked

346
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.839
him, because I love the shooting
and Destiny, I was never really into

347
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.960
the story or anything. I asked
him, is now the time to get

348
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.359
back into Destiny two? And he
went, no, they'll do it because

349
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.759
because the thing, the way that
Destiny two's model works is that they get

350
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.240
content they vault it, and so
the stuff in there that you'll just never

351
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:40.519
be able to play. And so
I'm right there with you. If there

352
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:44.440
was a Destiny three where it basically
starts afresh and I could get in on

353
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.839
the ground floor, yes, that's
what would get me back in, whereas

354
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:52.039
with No Mind's Sky it doesn't.
It doesn't need to do that. And

355
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.039
so I wonder if, yeah,
to kind of get public interest, like

356
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.599
as in the broader public interest,
maybe a pat on there. We'll see

357
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.880
how it works for Overwatch when it
comes out in October. Yeah, but

358
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:07.759
it's one of those games. Yet, like I said, I'm thrilled to

359
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:12.279
the team, and I think like
there's a part of that that team that

360
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.759
still feels guilty a little bit.
Maybe it's not the right word, but

361
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:22.720
feels like they did they need to
make up for the launch of the game.

362
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.480
And the game was so successful even
despite it kind of launching in this

363
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.079
state that was not living up to
expectations. And I think that was true

364
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.720
for our expectations, but I think
it's true internally for Hollo Games as expectations.

365
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.759
And so yet the game sold like
it rushed to like five million copy

366
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.839
sold or something like that for a
smaller game, you know, think the

367
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.920
studio right, they were looking around
be like, we never have to work

368
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:45.680
again a day in our life,
and so what do they do? They

369
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.720
immediately went back to work and have
worked every single day of their life to

370
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.960
make this game sort of live up
to what it did in terms of its

371
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.640
sales numbers. And there's a part
of me that just really super duper respects

372
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.839
that and wants me to be like, Okay, I just want to go

373
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:02.000
play the game to see the kind
of game made by people like that,

374
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:07.920
Like that's encouraging to me. Let's
see. Zinga's Star wars Hunters has been

375
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.599
pushed back to twenty twenty three's by
Chris Moys at Destructoid. Developer Zinga has

376
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.519
announced that Star wars Hunters has been
delayed and will no longer meet its original

377
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.559
sited twenty twenty two release date.
The arena shooter will now launch on mobile

378
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:23.279
and Nintendo Switch platforms at some point
in twenty twenty three. The delay was

379
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:27.440
announced in a statement posted by the
team. We are working tirelessly to achieve

380
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.160
our vision for Star wars Hunters,
said the studio. Our ambition is to

381
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:36.680
create a competitive battle arena game that
will entertain entertain for years to come.

382
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.839
To ensure we meet the high expectations
we are setting setting for fans globally and

383
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.640
ourselves as developers, we have made
the decision to delay the worldwide launch of

384
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:48.160
Star Wars Hunters. We understand the
game delays are frustrating. However, our

385
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:53.200
top priorities ensuring players will have the
best possible experience in the arena. I

386
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.599
don't know, like maybe this is
just like outside of my purview. I

387
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.599
haven't seen a lot of people like
saying, man, I can't wait to

388
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.039
get my hands and Star Wars Hunters
from Zingo. I'm watching the trailer right

389
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:04.759
now to see, Yeah, it
was actually gonna bring it up right now.

390
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:11.319
Let me good and we'll show this
afredo so right there and there's like

391
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.839
there, you know, I could
probably find some Star Wars Hunters like alpha

392
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:17.960
gameplay out there if people wanted.
Let's go and see we pop that in

393
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.319
here. Uh mute that though,
in case this guy comes in and starts

394
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:30.039
yelling stuff. It's every Yeah,
it's just it's yeah, it's not Puzzle

395
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:36.519
Quest three. Come on, Lucy's
completely different mobile game. Yeah it looks

396
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.000
like a mobile shooter. I guess
it looks a little bit more like something

397
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:41.960
that could launch on a switch,
but it's not coming to Xbox and PlayStation,

398
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.759
it's switching mobile. I don't know. Part of me is curious about

399
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.240
this. I just I like Star
Wars enough that i'd be I would check

400
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.960
this out. But also, oh, I oh it got delayed. Oh

401
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.079
it had a twenty twenty DWO release
date. I just kind of thought it

402
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:57.480
was gonna come out when it was
gonna come out. So yeah, A

403
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.480
bigger part of me is just like, I want to get to this point

404
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.279
where we are getting all of these
Star Wars games from all these other developers

405
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.319
that aren't ya. I'm looking forward
to Jedi Jedi Survivor. That would be

406
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:08.920
great. But like, let's see
that Ubisoft game. Let's see what everyone

407
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.440
else is working on, and that
includes Zingo. Sure, why not give

408
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.599
even the Quantic Dream game right exactly, Let's let's see what David k is

409
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.000
gonna do with that stupid game.
Yeah that who knows? Yeah, oh

410
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.359
you know what I think I'm I
think I'm good to say this now.

411
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.279
I think I'm good to announce this. I think it's I want to hear

412
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.839
it. I just realized I don't
care about Star Wars. Yeah, that's

413
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.039
okay. I mean, Tom,
bring myself to do it. It's the

414
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.319
right time to admit this. Yeah, I don't blame Like it's so easy

415
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.039
to for me to like go watch
one of those shows and come out and

416
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.160
be I'm like, I don't think
Star Wars cares about me at all anymore,

417
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:49.680
So why should I care about it? I mean, especially after that

418
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:55.480
last movie Rise of Skywalker, it
was just so like, I don't even

419
00:26:55.519 --> 00:27:00.599
know what they're doing here. It's
yeah, it is. It's so people

420
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.839
saying that like, oh, you
have to watch Obi one. You just

421
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.480
have to get through these episodes for
to get good. And I'm like,

422
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:12.519
that is a piece of media that
is cruising on its name and not even

423
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:17.960
attempting to be good for the audience, right, Like, if you have

424
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.240
to wait a certain amount of episodes
for to get good, then no,

425
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:23.880
it's you're not respecting my time.
I'm not going to watch you. So

426
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.880
the only Star Wars media that I
would recommend to you if you haven't played

427
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.200
it, and you probably have,
is Jedi Fallen Order, Like, yeah,

428
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.319
that's the one without reservation. I
recommend that to most Star Wars fans

429
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:40.039
and kind of people who just kind
of are like generally interested in the in

430
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:45.359
the property. Otherwise most other ones
are just like forgettable or straight out bad

431
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.200
or a waste of your time.
I think that's true for even Mandalorian to

432
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.400
a certain extent, which I know
a lot of people have a soft spot

433
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.200
for. I don't know, well, you know what I did for Mandalorian.

434
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:56.680
I don't feel good about this.
I watched all of season one,

435
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:02.720
the beginning of season two than the
end of season two, like I missed

436
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.839
like the big chunk in the middle, and I was like, you know

437
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.720
what, I feel fine about that. Yeah, we was the gather way

438
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:07.880
around. It was like I missed
the middle of one of the seasons.

439
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.079
I think it was two. That's
probably right, And yeah, I mean

440
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.599
that's the show is just they don't
mean all that much the overall story.

441
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.359
It's Star Wars is in a weird
spot. Definitely. Uh, let's see

442
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:26.359
an advanced Wars one plus two reboot
camp update. Swedish retailer has a February

443
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.000
twenty four, twenty twenty three,
release date. Please name, Please reveal

take a look at cool shop here.

446
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.079
Everybody. Oh man, I've a
great day for a shop in the AKA.

447
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:48.799
We've got a cool shop. Uh
cool shop dot dk as listed it

448
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.839
over here at February twenty fourth.
Who knows. I don't think they have

449
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:57.160
any necessarily an insight into exactly what
the toen know's thinking. Maybe there was

450
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.720
some mistake, Maybe Nintendo did confirm
this. I actually reached out to Nintendo

451
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.640
last week and said, hey,
people have pre orders for this game,

452
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.759
and you've not given like any new
information. What should they be doing with

453
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.039
those pre orders? Should they expect
them to be fulfilled? And some people

454
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:15.839
are having their pre orders canceled by
shops I think preemptively because they there's no

455
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.279
language from Nintendo about what to do
here, and they're like, hey,

456
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.200
we're gonna look into it. And
I haven't heard back yet. So hopefully

457
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:25.880
we get back with a response from
Nintendo about what's going on there. I

458
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:29.319
know the prs at least trying to
get an answer. There might be it

459
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.000
might end up being no comment,
but I think it's been so. The

460
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:34.880
game was supposed to come out like
December of last year. Then it got

461
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:40.480
delayed till March or whatever. It
was basically right when the war in Ukraine

462
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.599
and Russia started, and that was
like, this is it's a bad idea

463
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.480
to put out a game about you
being an invading army and taking over cities

464
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:49.839
and stuff like that. It was
a bad look and it was the right

465
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:55.160
decision to delay it. But now
we just we don't know if like they

466
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:59.000
intend to continue releasing it this year, or if it's just like whenever the

467
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.440
war is over, or if there's
some other thing that they're waiting for.

468
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.599
You know, they don't have to
share exactly what they're thinking there. I

469
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:07.559
get they're like they're just trying to
be sensitive here and not try to look

470
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:11.119
like they're making trying to make money
based on war or whatever, and that's

471
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.960
that's totally fine. But there are
people with outstanding pre orders who are standing

472
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.200
back trying to wonder what's happening here, And you know, as dates come

473
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.680
out, it's like, okay,
it's it's just going to keep being pushed

474
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:22.720
back. Indiffinitely, it felt like
it come out, could come out the

475
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.599
end of this year, or is
in February, the end of the fiscal

476
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.599
year. By the end of March
or something like that. Who knows.

477
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.279
Do you think that there's any chance
Nintendo give us, gives us an update

478
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.119
on what they're going to do with
Advanced Wars anytime soon? No, I

479
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.799
think I think they're in a very
tough spot. Obviously, they kind of

480
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.160
they did do the right thing by
kind of just saying, look, you

481
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:47.000
know, in light of everything that's
happening in Ukraine with a war with Russia,

482
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:48.880
we're gonna we're not going to do
this right now. And you know,

483
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.039
I proposed to them for that.
Obviously, there is the question of

484
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.960
what people are going to do with
the pre orders. Nintendo in a tough

485
00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:03.279
spot there, like they cannot influence
the outcome of the Wall and you know

486
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.079
what's happening, like this is something
that's bigger than a video game, and

487
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.400
so it would be good. They're
probably not going to come out and blanket

488
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.880
cancel everything. You know, that's
money that's sort of in their pocket a

489
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:21.839
little bit, you know, fingers
crossed. They will just have us,

490
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:25.200
I mean fingers cross the boyant,
like if we're going to be talking about

491
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:30.079
any fingers cross or anything. But
yeah, it's it's a weird one,

492
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.640
and fram is asking a question.
I'll get to that when we get to

493
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:36.920
the Grub's next questions. If we
have time to day, everybody, we'll

494
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:41.119
see let's see. Nintendo says Fire
Mum Fates will be removed from the E

495
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.640
Shop a month before the Star goes
offline. So on BombCast yesterday for the

496
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:51.039
news, we talked about how Nintendo
gave confirmed dates for the ending UH the

497
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:55.359
availability of the E Shop on the
EU and the Nintendo three vs. UH

498
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.759
those are gonna come to an end
on March twenty seven, twenty twenty three.

499
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:00.799
Basically, you just won't be able
to get anything from those stores anymore

500
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:06.119
at that point. They're ending sales
I think in August. But there's this

501
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:10.759
weird situation with Fire and Blom Fates
where you could buy fireblam Fates and then

502
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:15.839
you need to get to chapter six
before you could unlock the DLC or unlock

503
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:19.759
the opportunity to buy the DALC.
It's it's it's weird, but basically they

504
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:24.279
don't want a situation where on the
last day of of the availability, you

505
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:30.440
go ahead and you download Fireblom Fates
and then now you can't get access to

506
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:34.680
the chapter six stuff the chapter post
chapter six DLC. Because you're like,

507
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.400
oh, now I got everything download
download all my stuff, They're like,

508
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.119
no, you should download it by
this date in February. So February twenty

509
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.319
eight, twenty twenty three is when
they're gonna stop making this game available for

510
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:46.359
download, so that you have this
built in time, or of like,

511
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:50.400
okay, now until the end of
March, no excuse you. You could

512
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.799
have played till chapter six in that
month's time to download this extra stuff.

513
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:59.559
So it's it's a weird situation,
but also like the most Nintendo situation,

514
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:04.359
you could scribe yes and right,
and it's like right and yet like it's

515
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.880
like Nintendo, this is a weird
headache. Why not just avoid this stuff

516
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.880
and just keep this stuff on and
just keep like your Nintendo. We know

517
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:14.960
what we see, your your publicly
traded company. We know how much profit

518
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:16.839
you're making. You can afford to
keep these things open for quite a bit

519
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:21.079
longer. It's just it's weird.
I think there's a part of them that's

520
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:24.160
just like we are looking ahead to
the future, and we are looking ahead

521
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:30.599
to what we want to continue as
part of our Nintendo like online profile system

522
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.160
that is going to be more permanent
going forward, and that's going to include

523
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.200
everything on the switch, but everything
before that, we just need to deprecate

524
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.160
that, leave that stuff behind so
that we can only focus on the stuff

525
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:45.319
that will be part of my Nintendo
going forward. So it's weird, uh

526
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:51.920
steam or Stray has smashed Anna Purno's
record for concurrent Steam players. This is

527
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.119
from Tom Ivan at VGC. According
to official Steam figures on its release day,

528
00:33:55.160 --> 00:34:00.359
the indie titles Peak concurrent players counts
currently standard currently stood at sixty two

529
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:05.640
thousand, nine hundred and sixty three
players. Only twelve games are being played

530
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:08.400
by more Steam users at the time
of this pub At the time the VGC

531
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:13.480
posted the story that was like games
like Apex Legends and Feeta twenty two and

532
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:17.599
Grand Theft Auto. According to Independent
market analyst Benji Sales shout out to Benji

533
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.239
High Benji Uh, Stray has comfortably
beaten Anna Pernas record for concurrent players on

534
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:27.559
Steam, which was previously held by
twelve minutes, with eight thousand and twenty

535
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:30.880
one Behind that are Outer Wilds seven
thousand, nine hundred thirty six, Neon

536
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:35.599
White three thousand, two hundred and
seventy seven, and Journey one thousand,

537
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:40.480
seven hundred and fifty seven, So
pretty good stuff for Stray. Easily beating

538
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:45.320
Anna Parness previous records, right,
yeah, easily smashing them. Also the

539
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:51.159
fact that the record but twelve minutes, oh god, right, and Leon

540
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:54.360
White not getting any of the respected
deserves. Put some respect on Neon White.

541
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:58.280
I'm sorry, we're talking to my
cats and mine has come up to

542
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.159
me and she's like, hello,
oh talk about me? Huh yeah,

543
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.119
are we talking about cats? Is
it? No? I'm really thrilled.

544
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.760
I'm really enjoying Stray. Like I
said, I'm gonna be playing on my

545
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.239
couch but no, just see so
many people play it on PC as well,

546
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:16.639
when all of the all the marketing
and stuff has been predominantly around PS

547
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:20.440
five has been. It's lovely and
good. Good for the team because it's

548
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:23.519
the debut game, right I think, so yes, yeah, and it's

549
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:27.559
a relatively small team as well,
like it's the only handful of people,

550
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:30.960
so yeah, impressive stuff. And
it's like one of those games where we

551
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.079
saw it early on and it became
this, you know, one of those

552
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.199
indie darlings at a showcase, and
so I hope that turns out and like

553
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.679
becomes a thing and it's like actually
fun to play, and it seems like

554
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:45.000
they've met they checked all those boxes, so that's pretty impressive. Doom designer

555
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:50.280
John Romero has announced he's making a
new first person shooter Tom Ivan again from

556
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:53.800
VGC. Doom Quake and Wolfenstein three
D. Designer John Romero has revealed that

557
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:58.320
his next game will be a first
person shooter built with Unreal Engine five,

558
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:04.719
which is blasphemy but basically yeah,
I mean yes, it's a new Dawn

559
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:07.480
Rameiro Games. The studio said on
Tuesday, we're working with a major publisher

560
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:12.159
to develop John Romero's next shooter,
and all new first person shooter with an

561
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.719
original new IP. Our team is
expanding and we're looking front for talented people

562
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.920
for all positions and at all experience
levels, particularly those with Unreal Engine five

563
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:25.639
experience. So yeah, I kind
of felt like the Romero Development Studio did

564
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:32.360
that. What was it like the
the Gangster Era Tactics game just a few

565
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:36.800
months ago? Was that earlier this
year? Maybe was late last years?

566
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:39.559
That Yeah, I can't, I
can't something, but I'm blinking on the

567
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:43.000
name, and I think that was
more of a Brenda Romero joint. I

568
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:45.239
think she was kind of in charge
of the Empire of Sin. Thank You,

569
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.280
Panic Switch Empire Sin, and that
game kind of came and went a

570
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.000
little bit. I think it was
like some people were really into it,

571
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:54.480
of other kind of like bounced off
other people. But I always felt like,

572
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:59.639
Okay, there's at any moment this
studio is going to pull the John

573
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:02.079
Romero is gonna make a new first
person shorter shooter rip chord right, like,

574
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:05.760
okay, break glass in case of
emergency, let's go ahead, make

575
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.119
a shooter. It sounds like,
hey, yeah, they're they're doing that

576
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.639
now, and I'm excited. I
mean, John Romero is the kind of

577
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:14.480
guy where I'll always kind of show
up for what he's doing, even if

578
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:16.199
half the time the games don't work
for me, then fine. He made

579
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:22.000
a couple of all time classics Doom
and Quake and Wolfenstein three D. I'll

580
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.440
show up for whatever John Romero is
going to make next in the first person

581
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:29.159
shooter genre for sure. Yeah,
I mean, he's one of the people

582
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:34.159
who pioneered the genre. And you
know how you know, it's hard toil

583
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.320
much in gaming without first person's tutor
his influence on it, so I'm really

584
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.840
excited to see what he's gonna do
because the space is so different now as

585
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:45.119
compared to like the late eighties eighty
nineties. It's always exciting. Why do

586
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:46.760
you hear about new games from from
people like that? Right? But there

587
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:50.119
was that period where it's like,
you know, Halo was the top,

588
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:53.119
and then Call of Duty and you
couldn't imagine a world where Doom could be

589
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:57.800
back, could come back and like
be relevant. And then Doom came back

590
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:00.480
and was super irrelevant and amazing.
And now we're at the spirit where it's

591
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.480
like, it feels like first person
shooters should be trying some new stuff and

592
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.199
hopefully that's exactly what's gonna happen here. Yeah, from let's see No More

593
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:13.039
Heroes three has been dated for PlayStation, Xbox and PC with a new trailer

594
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:16.079
Tom Ivan again from via VGC.
Publisher x Seed Games has announced plans to

595
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:21.440
release No More Heroes three for PlayStation, Xbox and PC on October eleventh,

596
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:23.880
twenty twenty two. The game will
be available for PS four, PS five,

597
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:28.719
Xbox One, Xbox Series X and
S with Smart Delivery support, and

598
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:31.960
PCBs, Steam and the Microsoft Store. The game will be released both digitally

599
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:36.400
and as a physical Day one edition, which will sell for sixty dollars.

600
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:39.639
The Day one Edition will come with
a number of physical extras, including a

601
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:44.880
copy of the game, a softcover
artbook, a CD with select songs from

602
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:49.960
the soundtrack, a Santa Destroy Biker
license plate, a custom box with a

603
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.480
new illustration by series artist Yusuke Kuzaki. Yeah. I played a little bit

604
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:58.599
of No More Heroes three on Switch
and liked it fine until I think it

605
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:00.039
out to the open world and I
just got a little bit too bored with

606
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.000
it. I think the open world
was just a bit too mundane for me.

607
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.519
But you know, people want to
play this game. People do like

608
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:08.880
this game, and it will run
better on these systems than it did on

609
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:13.280
the Switch, right, Yeah,
I mean I was just looking and seeing

610
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.760
what Game Spot gave it, because
I remember we didn't score it very highly.

611
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:21.559
We gave it a full Yeah,
but you know it's it's cool and

612
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:25.039
it's what he says, sixty sixty
bucks. But Day one edition coming with

613
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:30.239
a bunch of stuff. If you
are into that, please be excited.

614
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:34.480
Please. I never played it No
More Heroes. I've never played No More

615
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:38.519
Heroes. But when is it coming
this year. Oh god, October is

616
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:42.400
going to be stacked. We talked
about this last week, yes, but

617
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.559
it keeps happening. I think.
I think for the next several Wednesdays,

618
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:46.480
we're gonna come back here, you
and I, Lucien, we're gonna have

619
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:52.000
Primate another thing in October, another
thing in October, and yet another one.

620
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:54.760
All right. It costs two hundred
fifty five dollars to unlock everything in

621
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:59.840
multiverses that can't be earned by playing. This comes from Chris scullyon a VG

622
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.400
see the Warner Brothers Brawlers. Open
beta is available to everyone on July twenty

623
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.119
six, but early access was made
available today to those who played the closed

624
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.400
alpha, those who won codes via
Twitch drops, or those who pay for

625
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:14.440
a Founder's Pack bundle costs between forty
and one hundred dollars. I need to

626
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:15.920
play this game. I'm gonna try
to get into it today. Yeah,

627
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:20.280
I know code. I'm going to
download it. I did see some very

628
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:25.800
fun tweets yesterday. There was a
you can turn on swearing or like mature

629
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:30.519
language, and this seems good.
Does the whole thing where it says how

630
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:37.400
old are you? Okay, and
it's something like you know, seven through

631
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:40.639
to twenty two and it's just like
twenty two plus. Yeah, And if

632
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:44.079
you're twenty two plus, it's like, okay, now, bugs, Money's

633
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:46.679
gonna be a real racist. Everybody
woke out. He's gonna do his actual

634
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:52.480
cartoon references there. As the beta
stands, there are two types of currency

635
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.159
available, Coins, which could be
earned through normal gameplay, and Gleimium,

636
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:59.880
which can only be bought with real
money. However, right now, gleimi

637
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:04.800
gleimium, you got it, that's
right now. A sizeable portion of the

638
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:08.199
game's cosmetic content could be bought only
be bought with Gleimium, and can't be

639
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:13.320
unlocked through normal play. Gleimium comes
in four packs, basically up to like

640
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:17.400
fifty dollars six thousand for fifty dollars
or whatever. The kinds of things that

641
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:22.920
unlocks, though, are mostly character
skins, ring out v VFX animations,

642
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:25.280
taunts, stickery, boats, banners, It's a lot of cosmetic stuff.

643
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:30.119
I think ideally, you are you
can unlock most of these characters by just

644
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:31.440
playing the game. It seems like, and then you're gonna pick one or

645
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:35.440
two characters that you are going to
deck out. You are probably not going

646
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:37.840
to spend a full two hundred fifty
two hundred fifty five dollars to get all

647
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.000
of these things for every single player. I mean maybe some people will.

648
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:44.679
People some people probably will and in
that case so they're like, hey,

649
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.639
I wish this just had one hundred
dollars Collector's edition. But this is where

650
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:52.559
games are at now. And comparing
this to that Nickelodeon one that like launched

651
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.119
without voices, I know they added
voices since them, this seems like,

652
00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:59.559
hey, they're kind of voices.
Yeah, they didn't have voices for many

653
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:02.840
of the nicke like Nickelodeon characters,
characters that are like known for their funny,

654
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:09.800
standout voices like you go play a
SpongeBob and yeah, I think they're

655
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:12.960
just like, we're doing the show. We're doing this on the cheap,

656
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.559
which is like weird because that game
was a premium price game. This one's

657
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:17.039
free to play, and I think
they just have high hopes for it,

658
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:20.960
and it does seem like it's really
coming together. So that's pretty good.

659
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:23.199
I have a little game for you
that we'll do in the catch up regarding

660
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:28.280
multiverses, but first let's just hit
this and then we'll do that. Platinum

661
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:32.199
Games claims it will change significantly as
it hires former Nintendo executive. This is

662
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:40.039
mostly machine translated from Famitsu, but
I'll do my best. They hired Takio

663
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:45.920
Yamane from Nintendo, who was kind
of in charge of relationships with developers over

664
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:51.679
Nintendo, and now he is a
vice president and chief business officer at Platinum.

665
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.239
The biggest reason is that, and
this is from Yamane. The biggest

666
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:58.559
reason is that in my previous job
for twenty seven years, I just turned

667
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:00.360
fifty years old. I felt this
this it was a milestone in my life,

668
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:04.119
and I thought, I want to
take on another challenge. Where should

669
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:06.679
I take on this challenge? What
can I say? What can I stay?

670
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:08.360
And can I stay at my current
company? Just when I was in

671
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:13.360
a days and Naba suggested to me, let's do it together. The content

672
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:15.760
of the proposal was extremely rewarding.
I thought this is the only place to

673
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:21.320
try again, so I joined Platinum
Games. Basicallymany goes on to say they're

674
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:24.039
like, they have a business department
that's in charge of publishing. That's where

675
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:28.679
he's going to focus his efforts.
And he says there aren't enough members right

676
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:32.079
now of the team to publish titles
such as the upcoming tentatively titled Project gig

677
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:37.519
in house, including with the plans
for a global expansion of this release,

678
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:39.679
so it's impossible for the current team
to do this alone. So his big

679
00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:44.880
efforts right now is going to be
expanding the publishing arm of Platinum Games.

680
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:49.360
He says, more than anything,
when I saw the project of Project Gigi,

681
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.039
I was convinced that this would be
an absolutely interesting game, and on

682
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.679
top of that, I was entrusted
with publishing it in house while thinking things

683
00:43:55.719 --> 00:44:00.000
are the best. So if we
put together in organization, an organized they,

684
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:04.320
we will definitely sell this game very
well. And we are moving forward

685
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:07.079
with plans to see how far we
can take it. That's why I really

686
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.239
want people other than those in the
development positions to come to Platinum Games.

687
00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:14.239
And again he's preferring there to bring
it in people to the publishing team.

688
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:17.280
I don't forget that. At the
end, there's just laughs, yes,

689
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.639
laughs, yes, yes, I
always love the yes, I always that's

690
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:25.559
why we're having fun. That's what
I would always imagine when I read that

691
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:30.880
in an interview. I mean the
Platinum Games in a weird place, they

692
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:36.320
earlier this year, they've released what
was that poorly received Babylon's Fault, Thank

693
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:40.360
you very Much this year. That
was this year, And it's not that

694
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:43.880
game immediately just fought, but that
was a work for higher thing. I

695
00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:46.880
don't think that was like the Yes
Square And like I said, they got

696
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:51.519
paid and now they're moving on and
Platinums still got baan out of three coming

697
00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:54.079
down. That's gonna seems like the
make or break for them, Like that

698
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:59.559
game comes out, they could still
establish themselves as a premier action game developer.

699
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:02.000
They do that, they probably can't
attract the talent they need to do

700
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:06.079
what they need to do and work
with other studios to publish their games or

701
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.599
whatever. But this is a tough
transition that a lot of studios have try

702
00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:14.400
to do, go from developer to
publisher. Uh, maybe they have an

703
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:17.599
advantage by doing that in Japan,
where you know, this hasn't happened a

704
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:21.760
ton before, and so like they
maybe and they maybe they have the right

705
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:24.440
relationships so they can make this happen. But it's like I kind of feel

706
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:28.559
like you need to just shore up
your house first in terms of the games

707
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:31.400
you're putting out, which have been
all over the map in terms of quality,

708
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:35.840
and really we've gone quite some time
without a really stellar game from them.

709
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:37.360
So I don't know, what do
you think there's Is there a chance

710
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.599
that this transition can work for them? I mean, I hope it does.

711
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.800
Yaminate Like twenty seven years at Nintendo. I know, you know,

712
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:51.079
the work culture in Japan is you
kind of stick with one company and you're

713
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:54.079
kind of a life of that.
And so to go from Nintendo for twenty

714
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:59.480
seven years, like he obviously sees
something at Platinum, maybe what he saw

715
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:01.639
as a pay guys, I don't
know, but you know, I want

716
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:05.239
to take on another challenge. So
I think, you know, if you're

717
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:08.960
getting someone in who can potentially lead
this new initiative, he seems like a

718
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:14.440
pretty safe bet. It's very very
interesting move, right, and it's like

719
00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:17.280
bringing in those relationships that he would
have had have from working at Tindo that

720
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:21.679
could really work for them. So
we'll see. Okay, let's get to

721
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:24.920
the catch up where I want to
ask you a question. I want you

722
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:29.639
to name. So there's a leak
of potential characters that could be coming to

723
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:34.280
multiverses, and this will reminder multi
verses is the WB Platform Fighter, so

724
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.599
it's like Super Smash Brothers from the
w B universe. So like characters,

725
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:40.599
there's like characters from the Game of
Thrones, and there is like bugs,

726
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:45.679
Bunny or whatever. Okay, so
apparently there's like nineteen names that have been

727
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:47.400
mentioned. I want to I want
you guess which one of these is real.

728
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:50.199
I'm gonna give you two, and
you gotta pick the one you think

729
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:53.079
is in this leaked list. Okay, for the first one, Sheldon Cooper

730
00:46:53.119 --> 00:47:00.360
from The Bang Big Bang Theory or
Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes. I

731
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:05.880
want to say Marvin, but God
help me, it's probably Sheldon. Marvin

732
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:08.960
the Martian from Looney Tunes is correct
there, Thank god, Oh my god.

733
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:14.920
I if Sheldon was in I would
probably just if Sheldon Cooper probably will

734
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:17.880
eventually end up there. But let's
okay, let's okay. Lebron James from

735
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:25.239
Space Jam or ace Ventura from ace
Ventura. Lebron Lebron James. Lebron James

736
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:28.519
is correct there, Yes, go
with your guy. I think you guys.

737
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:30.920
I was gonna say ace Ventura.
I don't know if that would be

738
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:35.480
problematic in this day age, So
I feel like they were already gonna go

739
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:37.239
for Lebron. Right, there's a
problematic things in that movie, for sure.

740
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:40.159
I'm like the character that could probably
like disassociate with that stuff. But

741
00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:45.119
yeah, okay, Ted Lasso from
ted Lasso or Bill Murray from Space Jam.

742
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:51.079
Bill Murray's a party problematic. So
I'm gonna say Ted last ted Lasso

743
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:55.320
is correct. Let's hope ted Lasso
never ends up being problematic. Scorpion from

744
00:47:55.320 --> 00:48:05.119
Mortal Kombat or Carlton Banks from Fresh
Prince m Okay, well, I'm gonna

745
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:07.760
say Carlton just because the emote would
be the dance, right, it just

746
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:13.639
makes too much sense. The answer
is Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Finally,

747
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:19.599
Rachel Green from Friends or Godzilla from
Godzilla basically the same character. May mean

748
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:27.920
Godzilla, Yes, Godzilla, that's
right, although Rachel, I don't know,

749
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:31.239
spill coffee on you if he's some
they gotta do, right, Yeah,

750
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:34.599
really, if you're gonna have any
of the characters that you have Ross

751
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:37.199
because of course he's the largest Friends, so he would just eat the rest.

752
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:43.239
What incredible Featureama pull that the largest
friends simply not eat the other five?

753
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:46.400
Oh god? Okay, let's see
I said, I would ask him

754
00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:51.960
questions. Let's let's hit the button
or answer your questions. Hears some grub

755
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:55.400
snack questions from Fran Do we know
what's happening, if anything, with the

756
00:48:55.400 --> 00:49:00.400
supposed Golden Eye remake on Xbox.
We don't really know for sure, but

757
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:06.760
the things I've heard suggests that they
are in the same situation as Advance Wars.

758
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:09.719
That game has a lot of Russian
military iconography in it. There is

759
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:13.760
just a ton of that stuff.
There's levels where you're just going through and

760
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:16.320
looking at statues of old Soviet era, you know, the leaders and stuff

761
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:21.280
like that. So they are probably
going to keep holding back on that one

762
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:24.400
for some time if they don't if
there is a chance they're gonna release anytime

763
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:29.840
soon. August is that game's twenty
fifth anniversary, so I would look out

764
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:32.400
for something to happen then, but
more likely they're just gonna keep holding onto

765
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:38.519
it for now. Let's see,
we just got a tweet here from we

766
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:43.920
partnered. Okay, so Xbox just
tweeted we partnered up with the musicians it's

767
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:49.519
Benny Blanco, BT S, Big
Hit and Snoop Dogg to create something unheard

768
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:52.599
of, and I what do you
think this is, Lucy, that's all

769
00:49:52.599 --> 00:50:00.280
it says. Benny Blanco, BTS, Big Hit, BT's b Let's just

770
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:01.960
Beat, Yes, right, okay, and Snoop Dogg and Snoop Dogg.

771
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:07.360
I don't know. I mean even
if Collat like Benny Blanco is responsible for

772
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:13.480
like most of the biggest poppets of
the last fifteen years. Okay, so

773
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:16.920
he's okay, Yes, he's not
just in Dave. He's written like a

774
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:22.119
bunch of super famous songs and it's
his TikTok is also wild. He just

775
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:27.719
like shows dildos all the time.
He's a very weird follow but he is.

776
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:32.480
He's legitimately, I don't know,
like a song like something for an

777
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:38.639
advert, something for a headset.
Uh, I don't know. Yea in

778
00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:42.440
Halo Infinite. Yeah, put him
in Halo Infinite. There we go,

779
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.360
h something unheard of. I don't
know. It's it's tough to say what

780
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:50.440
they're going for there. Uh,
let's see from ze Kretz is stray the

781
00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:53.880
perfect cat Game. It's near being
perfect, But I think what I would

782
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:59.039
want from like the ideal cat game
is full like GTA, but you're a

783
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:01.400
cat, like just walking around the
city, trying to, you know,

784
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:07.039
build up your enclave of other cats
and making sure that your the box you

785
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:10.079
sleep in is decked out and has
all the features you need. That's what

786
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:14.599
I need. How about you?
Yeah? I mean there was there was

787
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:17.920
cat simulates it from a few years
ago, I guess, But no like

788
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.679
GTA. But you're a cat.
Yeah, like Tiff, like beefing with

789
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:27.760
the Wild Dog Gang exactly. Yes, Hey, I already I already saw

790
00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:30.199
someone mentioned a jelical get out of
here, Get out of here, ajelical.

791
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:36.800
I've still not seen Cats the musical
the movie. I've seen the musical.

792
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:40.480
I've never seen the movie. Although
shout out to IGN for that post

793
00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:44.679
yesterday, which was very funny.
They just tweeted out a happy stray Day

794
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:51.119
and they posted a picture of Taylor
Swift is okay cats? Let's see?

795
00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:53.599
From j Unite two thousand and eight. With Kojima officially having a deal with

796
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:58.119
Xbox, is there any word of
their plans for a game engine, especially

797
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:01.239
since Death Stranding used Tesema aka Gorillas
game engine. Will they have to start

798
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:06.559
from scratch? My guests would be
they would probably use something that Microsoft either

799
00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:10.480
has easy access to or why not
just use Unreal. Just let I wasn't

800
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:14.920
just about to say they'll probably use
Unreal, but they did. They did

801
00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:19.000
say it was gonna be like cloud
based, right, so right, it's

802
00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:22.599
gonna have a lot of it's gonna
have cloud integration whatever whatever. That's gonna

803
00:52:22.639 --> 00:52:25.239
end up meaning for a coach gm
a game who knows exactly all right,

804
00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:30.440
cloud that just follows you around and
right exactly. So let's see. We

805
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:34.480
asked on Monday, do you think
the government still needs to do something about

806
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:38.000
loopbox is Overwhelmingly seventy four point five
percent said yes. Twenty five point five

807
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:42.960
percent said no. I don't know. I feel like this is asking for

808
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:46.599
trouble whenever you ask for this kind
of regulation, because gaming changes so quickly.

809
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:52.800
Oh hello, kitty oho, kitty
cat. Gaming changes so quickly that

810
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:57.199
it goes from like, okay,
yeah, this thing completely applies to what

811
00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:00.960
was happening in games too a year
later being like, now this is preventing

812
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:05.239
games from developing in cool and interesting
ways because we have this law, we

813
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:08.800
have to work around it, or
something like that. But the industry could

814
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:15.840
have avoided this by being a little
bit more diligent about about stopping developers from

815
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:17.320
going too far. They didn't,
and here we are, so people still

816
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:21.159
want the government to step in.
Where are you at with this, Lucy?

817
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:27.119
I mean, I've always kind of
been of the opinion that something needs

818
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:31.079
to be done rather with sort of
ratings and enforcement, because most of the

819
00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:34.599
time, the people who are going
to be buying these up boxes are going

820
00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:39.440
to be the impressionable children, especially
in games that necessarily, like I think

821
00:53:39.440 --> 00:53:44.000
they certainly need to be regulated more
closely in kids games like kids, anything

822
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:47.280
that's monketed towards children, and like
ratings need to be enforced at the shop

823
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:52.119
level they off and on. When
I was younger, I would buy games

824
00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.039
that I was too young for online
and just get them sent to me and

825
00:53:54.119 --> 00:53:58.519
no one would ever check anything.
Like It's it's wild how easy it is

826
00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:01.840
to do workarounds. Part of it
is just because, like so my my

827
00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:07.400
aunt and uncle were asking me,
like there is like this this kind of

828
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:15.320
generation gap right of not understanding necessarily
how stuff works online. Like I've had

829
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:19.320
to walk people through, like my
aunt and uncle through how to set up

830
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:22.920
certain things on PlayStation or Xbox,
and it's like it's just not straightforward for

831
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.719
a certain for certain people, and
like, that's definitely part of the problem

832
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:30.440
in terms of regulating there absolutely,
there absolutely needs to be a limit on

833
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:35.400
you know, kind of win rates, odds rates. It needs to be

834
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:39.800
regulated as closely as gambling, maybe
even more so, just because I mean,

835
00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:44.519
gambling should be way more regulated as
well. Have you seen that thing

836
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:50.119
that was yesterday about the slots on
Twitch? No? I haven't. I'll

837
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.760
find the link for you. But
yeah, basically there's like an entire category

838
00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:58.519
on Twitch which is just slot machines, and you're just is it like Twitch

839
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:01.239
plays slots? Is that as that
sort of thing or what? Who who

840
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:06.519
wrote it? I think it was
Ben Parrot. So you are people just

841
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:08.119
like watching slot machines, but they're
not interacting with it, or are they

842
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:13.119
able to interact with them at all? Let me grab it, Okay,

843
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:16.440
slots on Twitch the Dirty Truth.
It's on for the Wind dot USA,

844
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:21.880
Today dot com, and basically it
is the slots categories filled with gambling.

845
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:24.119
No one tells any No one tell
Jan about these things. Guys, please,

846
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:27.760
everyone can stay quiet. Do not
tell Jan about this thing, man.

847
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:30.480
Yeah, so you're a game of
report on it. Back in twenty

848
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:36.840
eighteen, the implications to the platform's
younger audience, and then it's been festering,

849
00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:40.920
and then it's had a massive growth
rate recently because of crypto and wow.

850
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:45.599
Okay, so yeah, it's these
are the kinds of things we're like,

851
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:51.199
Yeah, these things I absolutely do
prey on vulnerable people with addictive personalities

852
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:52.079
and stuff like that. I mean, that's true for a lot of things.

853
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:53.920
So it's like, where do we
draw the line. Well, I

854
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:57.480
hopefully we can figure out figure that
out and keep at it. And it

855
00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:01.320
seems like there are always more things
that could be done before we even like

856
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:05.239
go to like straight tell like banning
these things we're saying this is not allowed

857
00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:09.280
in video games. Just providing more
data, like more transparency to your own

858
00:56:09.280 --> 00:56:14.199
behavior to players so they know how
much money they've spent and stuff like that.

859
00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:15.760
That's the kind of thing that I
think can go a long way to

860
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:21.800
de ramming people from going too far. Okay, let's let's ask a poll.

861
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:28.719
You know I'm gonna ask this one. Let's see do have you gone

862
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:37.119
back to No Man's Sky or any
of its updates? Game mess Mornings And

863
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:42.880
we'll talk about that one tomorrow on
the show. Oh, let me hit

864
00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:47.599
the poll button before I forget to
do that. Yes, no, there

865
00:56:47.599 --> 00:56:54.280
we go. Okay, uh and
with that, Lucy, what is happening

866
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:59.159
on Giant Bomb for the rest of
the week. Oh well, we had

867
00:56:59.199 --> 00:57:01.480
to black clause not feeling very well, so we had to push terminate a

868
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:06.480
film and Foy's unfortunately, but that
will be happening as soon as possible.

869

875
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:37.920
that, looking forward to see if
we get that together. But we'll think

876
00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:39.039
about doing a whole theme for that
one, sort of like what we did

877
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:43.960
last week, but maybe for a
different game. This week affords the Hot

878
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:46.400
Wheels Quick Look. I think that
might be getting filmed here pretty soon.

879
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:50.360
That'll probably come out tomorrow, So
yeah, a bunch of stuff still happening
