00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,080
Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our weekly video game show

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,599
here at Geek. First, I'm
your host, the Adam fall hartcaster Dylan

3
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:16,079
Muss, and I have with me
the clown Prints of beans Stell. How

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,960
are you doing. I'm doing good. I'm excited to talk about this one.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,359
This should be a spicy, fun
episode, so which has not always

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:25,480
been the case when we've had the
Xbox Ones in the past. So this

7
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:28,800
is I think there's let's talk about
today, so I can't wait. And

8
00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:33,159
then we have the x of boxes. Mister Xbox himself, Taylor Field,

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,359
how's it going in It's going pretty
good. There's a yeah, a lot

10
00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:41,079
of surprises to talk about with this. I'm excited. Yeah. Yeah,

11
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:45,359
we're here for part two of three
of our kind of Summer Game Fest weekend

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,640
coverage. We just covered the Summer
Game Fest Showcase and now we're here to

13
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:52,759
talk about the Xbox Showcase. And
yeah, we have a lot to do,

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,119
so we're just gonna get right into
it once again. I'm gonna throw

15
00:00:56,119 --> 00:01:00,079
a mister Xbox, Taylor, what
did you think of this year's Xbox Showcase?

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,000
I enjoyed that. I had a
good time, just again because I'm

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,560
biased because there's a lot of things
that I was excited to see, and

18
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:14,840
I mean, heck, that's that's
what you want when you're a supporter of

19
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:18,200
a company like Microsoft at Xbox.
You want to see games that you're able

20
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:23,319
to be diving into. And again, there are some surprises, and I

21
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:27,319
mean it's funny because things were updating
because I was I was playing Call of

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,879
Duty at the time when obviously Black
Ops was unveiled or whatever, and it

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,760
was just like, holy fuck,
my game was like freezing twitching out because

24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,319
they were like, oh, pre
order, now we got the crosshat,

25
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:42,120
all these additions. They just blasted
the call to just like holy fuck,

26
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,239
Like damn, my game's overloading right
now, three undred gigs already. But

27
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,120
now I'm really really I'm really excited
to talk more about this because, as

28
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:53,519
I said, there's a lot of
games in here I'm really eager to get

29
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:57,560
into. So very nice number.
Give me a number one to five.

30
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,040
Oh you know, I'm gonna gonna
be extremely biased and go four to five.

31
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:06,280
That's lower than I fell. Actually
that's not extremely biased. I'd say

32
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,879
that's like moderately biased. He didn't
even come in withought. He said like,

33
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:10,280
oh, I had a good time
with it, so I thought,

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,159
for sure, I want to just
because this might set me up because I'm

35
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,560
gonna assume you're gonna probably throw it
to me next. Maybe I'm wrong,

36
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:22,800
but I could throw kirk kirkle what
do you think? No, no rating

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,280
there? Hey, what what were
your surprises? Hey? I just wanted

38
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,319
to know, uh, I'd say, stated a, kay, I really,

39
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:32,400
I mean I wanted it, but
I was not expecting it. I'll

40
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,039
give you that one. Gears of
War I wanted. I would say I

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,039
was surprised that it was. It
was a prequel. I thought we were

42
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,759
begetting Were you sorry? I was
there though, because I feel like that

43
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,479
everybody felt Gears. Something's happening,
you know, the scuttle but scuttle but

44
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:53,280
but I mean I'd still be a
little bit surprised, marginally marginally, but

45
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:59,240
yeah. No, I guess it
was time wore the warcraft. That was

46
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,680
a surprise, although again it was
just it's it's Xbox Microsoft now. So

47
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:12,240
there's there's that. What else do
we have? I guess dragon Age,

48
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,240
dragon Age, that's not too much
of a surprise. Okay, that's not

49
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,599
a bad thing. So that's where
I am, where I know what's gonna

50
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,000
happen. I'm the Sony Pony,
you know, mister mister PlayStation. Uh

51
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:27,439
so, I hope you're go oh
you're you know, you're bias, the

52
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:30,960
opposite of tailor. I still think
this was a great showcase. I think

53
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,479
this is easily the best showcase Xbox
has had since we've been doing this since

54
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,080
twenty sixteen of the E threes,
and I think they put on a great

55
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,719
summer games fest. When Jeff Keeley
decided to drop the ball, because I

56
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:46,800
just feel I think this was good. I needed a couple more bigger surprises.

57
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,240
I needed a couple more from the
bigger things like from Fable. I

58
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,759
saw people very excited, and I
get it, But at the same time,

59
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:55,400
I was still like, I feel
like we still need a more on

60
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,240
this, And that's where I felt
like on a few other times, we

61
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,960
we're still which like we just talked
about last episode. It's self of for

62
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,199
release dates because you don't want to
put them. But when we are getting

63
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,120
like twenty twenty four for a few
games but no window, it's kind of

64
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:12,439
like, well, when's this happening? Like Indian it's like when is this

65
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,360
happening, So I guess that's where
I am where I think the pacing was

66
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,800
really good. I also this is
where I'll fully say as well biased like

67
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,319
there's still things in here from just
Xbox the past couple of months, which

68
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:25,000
is like I just haven't been digging
the vision. If you don't know,

69
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:27,680
I have an Xbox, I'll be
playing many of these games. I'll play

70
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,959
many of them on it games Pass
because that is the it is the best

71
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,920
deal for you know, gaming wise
and everything like that. But I think

72
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,360
overall it was a great show.
I think it's just that I'm looking at

73
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:44,959
Xbox differently where it's just I feel
like it is it. They are just

74
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,839
like the one of like the biggest
devs now now, not particularly but just

75
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:54,720
like this to me still felt like
more a summer games fest than Xbox,

76
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,399
and maybe I need a little bit
more of that. And I guess it's

77
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:59,959
just in a place they are where
I'm still We've talked about so many cap

78
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,839
fro I'm trying to change my perspective
where they're gonna be all over and maybe

79
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,720
it's still really not about the consoles, but I don't know, because they're

80
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,959
always talking about like this is gonna
push us in the next thing. It's

81
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,959
just like, I guess I'm just
at a crossroads with Xbox overall. So

82
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,240
I think as a show by itself, I would give this like a four

83
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,480
point five because I didn't have that
one stand up thing, because I will

84
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:25,000
give Taylor stay of decay because I
saw people be like, oh, I

85
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,279
hope that was happening. But I
still think there was one surprise that was

86
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,800
like that stand up, Holy crap
they did this, Like even gears,

87
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,959
we knew that was happening some other
things. So I always say a five.

88
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,040
I need like that really good,
that wow moment. So I can't

89
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,720
give it fully that, but I
think the pacing what was really good.

90
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,079
I think that it was great for
Phil just to be there at the beginning

91
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,319
and kind of bugger off, and
then same thing with the other lady because

92
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,000
I don't know, like I said, some of his comments this weekend two,

93
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,480
I still go, ah, you're
just so full of shit, man.

94
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:56,680
I just I just can't get on
board with some of the stuff.

95
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,079
But the show, we're all really
good and I'm excited to talk about some

96
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,600
things uh in here, So I
think that's the best thing Xbox has had

97
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:08,000
since we've been doing it. But
they've also like I don't know, look

98
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,560
at all the stuff they've bonn since
we've done this in twenty sixteen. So

99
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,439
it's like they get to have a
good because here's my thing. I didn't

100
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:15,040
watch much of the Call Do Anything, but when Phil goes on for about

101
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,560
ten minutes of like for the first
time in eleven years, call Dudies back

102
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,399
on the Xbox Showcase, it's the
most exciting time. It's like, yeah,

103
00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:25,680
because you bought them. You bought
It's not like they've had it like

104
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,639
they came to a partnership. It's
not because like call dudes, like you're

105
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,800
the best in gaming. It's like
you kind of like cheated to get this

106
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:35,920
achievement of like, yeah, call
Duties back on the stage here to show.

107
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,120
It's like, well yeah, because
they have to be It's like this,

108
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,800
you're their boss. Now they have
to be there. They never like

109
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,040
So it's just like a weird dichotomy
of like it's a it's like a victory

110
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,680
lap, but it's like a paid
for victory. That's fine, do whatever

111
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,199
you want, billionaires, but it's
just that's where it is where it's like

112
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:56,639
it's still not genuine thing. So
that's where I'm mixed on some things with

113
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,160
Xbox overall. But it was a
fun show to watch, and I just

114
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:03,319
wanted a you more gameplay from some
things and one or two more bigger surprises.

115
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,839
I'd say, yeah. No,
I had a very similar thought to

116
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:11,959
you, which is that man with
the Activision Blizzard thing officially going through now

117
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,959
and they have full access to that
stuff with Bethesda a few years ago,

118
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,560
other acquisitions they've made along the way, and the fact that they're of course

119
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,439
still going to do with third party
deals, there's really no excuse for Xbox

120
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:28,000
nowadays to not have an absolutely fucking
killer showcase every single year. And you

121
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,920
know when they do their January show, which is like the Developer to rack

122
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:33,560
where they focus on like three to
five games, of course that's gonna be

123
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,800
difference, like are you individually into
the three to five games that they picked.

124
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,680
If the answers no, then it's
like, ah, it's gonna be

125
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,000
a medium show. But at least
they tell you exactly what to expect and

126
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
you know what you're gonna get there. But when it comes to this Summer

127
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,800
showcase, if they're ever less than
a four for the next ever, unless

128
00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:53,399
they you know, unless something drastic
changes, Yeah, then that would be

129
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:56,199
like a huge disappointment for me,
just because you have so much to show,

130
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,319
you so much in that back catalog. You have so many surprises you

131
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:01,319
could do, you know, mixed
that in with like the classic stuff like

132
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:05,600
a new Halo or like a new
console revealer, all this other kind of

133
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,000
things. Like they just have so
much to play with at this point that,

134
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,120
yeah, there's no excuse not to
have a great show. But of

135
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,600
course it's still great when they can
stick the landing here. And I think

136
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,160
this was a good showcase in terms
of pacing. They of course had their

137
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,800
three big execs up on stage,
plus the Call of Duty people, And

138
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:24,040
I'm sick of those people too,
because they are fucking liars, and I

139
00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:28,040
hate everything that they've done recently,
and they've shut down Arcanauiston. I'm still

140
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,800
mad about that, like tremendously mad
about it, and so anything they say,

141
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,360
I honestly just like I was skipping
those sequences when they're talking bec I

142
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,440
don't even want to hear this bs
mumbo jump that you guys have to day

143
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,879
because it's just meaningless speak at this
point when I feel like they were so

144
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,759
consistent on like wording and messaging for
the last few years, but everything's changed

145
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:48,799
recently, obviously, with these with
these layoffs. You know they talk,

146
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:50,639
oh, we care so much about
our teams. We're like, well,

147
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,720
clearly you don't. The PlayStation shift
and putting games everywhere, like everything has

148
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,000
changed recently. I don't even think
they know what the fuck they're gonna do

149
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:00,639
the next month, So why am
I gonna believe what they're telling me on

150
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,360
the stage. That's kind of where
I'm at with them. But you know,

151
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,039
I can remove that for the sake
of watching the showcase here, and

152
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,679
so because of that, I'm with
you, Travis. I'm at at four

153
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,840
point five. I thought could be
a bit lower, like maybe a four

154
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:13,519
point twenty five. I mean,
who cares, It's just a random number

155
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,399
anyway, But that's kind of where
I'm at. I think for me,

156
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:22,159
the points that a quote unquote lost
were I was one hundred fund expecting and

157
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:26,720
wanting Activision Blizzer got acquired. Since
then, one game has been added to

158
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,440
game Pass, and that's Diablo four. Where is all the back catalog stuff?

159
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,679
Where are the older Call of Duties. Where are these potentially hundreds or

160
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,440
tens of games that are on the
Xbox Store right now? I don't see

161
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,159
why you can't, like, unless
there's something I don't understand about contracts and

162
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,799
lawyers. All this is mumba noble, Like, why can't you just dump

163
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,600
that stuff on game Pass right now
and give me like you just laid off

164
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:50,559
a bunch of studios, And what
was it for is because Activision Blizzers is

165
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,159
so expensive. Where am I as
like the game Pass subscriber? Where am

166
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,720
I getting the benefit of that?
So far? It's Diablo four, which

167
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,960
is the game that I already bought, so I haven't got anything out of

168
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,960
that yet, and of course Call
of Duty's coming. But it's like I

169
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,159
was really expecting something here like that
acquisition happened so long ago. Now,

170
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:09,039
I don't know why they couldn't have
done something. I think that would have

171
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:13,120
been huge of just like, hey, out today, here are twenty game

172
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,320
Here are twenty like older back catalog
games, but still here's twenty. That's

173
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:20,360
yeah, we're gonna bring a bunch
more. Makes no sense to me that

174
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:22,960
I couldn't have done that. If
they did, I think I would promote

175
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,960
it to a five out of five. Of course, there can always be

176
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,720
like something bigger or more exciting.
You know, put all their scroll six

177
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,720
on my screen and you're gonna get
a free five out of five. But

178
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,679
I think they kind of crushed in
every other category of Like, here are

179
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:39,440
some new surprising games that are coming
to game Pass, here are updates on

180
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:41,440
games we've had before. Here's a
lot of gameplay. For the most part,

181
00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:45,879
there's not a lot of fluff except
for the Call of Duty stuff.

182
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:48,759
But you know, that's kind of
like they I like that they framed it

183
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:52,720
as you know, after the showcase
is the Call of Duty showcus, since

184
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:54,039
you can expect, you know,
a bigger deep dive on that stuff.

185
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:58,000
And I can kind of skim through
that without feeling guilty because I know what

186
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:00,519
to expect. So, yeah,
they did a great job. Here.

187
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:05,200
Four point five is my number on
it. Let's get into it. So

188
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,720
they closed and ended the show with
Call of Duty, and so I think

189
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:11,840
we might as well just talk about
it now. Call it du Black Ops.

190
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,639
Six Taylor is about to be called
I Gotta Assassinate. Like some of

191
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,960
the characters in this new Call of
Duty game, it's coming to October twenty

192
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,840
fifth, and it is officially on
game Pass Day one. Now, I

193
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:30,159
saw some clarification about this that you
know, there are three tiers of game

194
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,200
Pass right now. There's game Pass
Core, which is like the really low

195
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,399
level basic one that just gives you
like twenty or something games, and they

196
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,559
kind of rotate that out. It's
not on that catalog, and it's on

197
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,360
the standard one like standard console game
Pass, but only the campaign. And

198
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,559
then if you get game Pass Ultimate, that is when you have access to

199
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:54,320
multiplayer, and I think Zombies is
included in that. Now, Taylor,

200
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,559
you probably know this best, like
you still need Ultimate if you want Xbox

201
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,159
Live right like to play games on
line as far as I know, Yes,

202
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,559
I think they've heard it in right, Yeah, So to me,

203
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,679
that's where it makes sense of like, yeah, I guess you wouldn't put

204
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:09,639
Call of Duty game Pass or Call
of Duty multiplayer on like that standard game,

205
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,879
but you didn't need Ultimate for that. So yeah, just to be

206
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,559
clear, like they kind of one
of the two tiers has half of it,

207
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,480
you know, Ultimate of course has
everything, and then Core doesn't have

208
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:22,519
anything. So just an Ultimate cross
is over to PC as well right,

209
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,879
so it kind of connects connect about
that's the two and one plus EA play

210
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:28,240
and all that stuff in there.
So so yeah, I for myself,

211
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:31,320
Taylor, I I scammed the Call
of Duty section. I picked out a

212
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,840
couple of interesting tibets, but you
know, it's a bit too much Call

213
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:37,559
of Duty for me. So I'm
curious what you thought of this show,

214
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,759
uh breakdown here and what's like kind
of the most exciting things for you with

215
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,440
this new game coming out this year
at this point, like I have drifted

216
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,360
away from the campaign, Like I'm
seeing this reveal you got, like the

217
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:52,039
president you got, you don't want
to go work for Bill Clinton and everything

218
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,519
like that. I do not want
to work for Bill Clinton. I'll tell

219
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:56,559
you that right now. Not too
political, but I don't want to take

220
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,519
the down out. I'm just I'm
just seeing, uh, all all this

221
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,279
campaign stuff and I've just I fell
off the campaign a long time ago.

222
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,240
In Call of Duty, so that
is what it is. I play Call

223
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,440
of Duty for the multiplayer aspect and
so getting to see a little bit more

224
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:18,039
of just what's to come from the
multiplayer and omnidirectional stuff. I'm not ready

225
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:22,519
for that, Like, is that
the sprinting in any direction, that's the

226
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,320
sprinting, and like you're your dolphin
diving straight but you turn to the side

227
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,279
and you're shooting my mat my brain. I'm going thirty this year. Man,

228
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,440
we can't keeping backwards like what.
I don't like this at all.

229
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,080
I'm not turning thirty. I'm going
thirty. I'm going three. I'm going

230
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:43,000
thirty. I can't. I can't
keep up with that ship. Man.

231
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:46,399
I see how people hold their controllers, like people are holding their controllers like

232
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:50,960
like this when they play. It's
like, yeah, I fuck can't do

233
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,679
that. I'm a claw user.
Sometimes I gotta say, oh, but

234
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:58,360
my hands are fucked now. So
so that being said, though, yeah,

235
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,440
I I am excited for this.
I'm excited because it's the first Call

236
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,960
Duty game I will not be buying
Day one in I can't even remember,

237
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,200
because I have bought in every Call
of Duty game since a lot of money.

238
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:13,159
God probably, I think Ghosts might
have been the last one. I

239
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:16,279
didn't buy Day one because I was
moving and that game was shit, so

240
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,360
I didn't bought it was That was
the last called Dude I ever bought,

241
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,759
and that's why I can't buy another
Call Duty mainly atrocious, So I'm happy.

242
00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:26,000
I'm happy I don't have to buy
this because even then, the Black

243
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,840
Ops ones are never they've never been
kind of the forefront. They've been.

244
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:31,399
They were great back in high school, but later editions were not really my

245
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:37,159
favorites. I kind of was always
more the modern warfare and Finny Ward kind

246
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,919
of Call of Duty games, not
over the tray arch. While the track

247
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,759
definitely was fun, I'm excited because
this has the zombie round based stuff coming

248
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:50,039
back. That being said, I
think round based zombies what they were doing

249
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,080
in some of those later Black Ops
iterations were interesting, but it got way

250
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,039
too chaotic, way too insane.
It wasn't for me. I went through

251
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:01,720
those og maps, did the Easter
eggs and got those achievements and that stuff

252
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:07,919
with some of the most peak zombies, round based gameplay like stuff you'll ever

253
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,879
you'll ever hit, and I don't
think they'll ever tap into that again.

254
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,840
So I think the evolution to what
we got in one or for three,

255
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,799
the open world zombies that they have, man, I got hooked to that.

256
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:20,559
That was some of the greatest evolution
gameplay like of zombies that they've done.

257
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:24,279
I wish we all were able to
play that together, because that's that

258
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:28,840
squad shit in there is fucking fantastic. It is. It is so diver

259
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:31,080
on game Pass. I'm there with
you, Yeah, let's do it.

260
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,519
But I am concerned though, and
I'm hoping that they don't blow it too

261
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,000
far out of the water because it
can just get so overwhelming and not simplified

262
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,919
the newer round based zombie stuff.
My hope is that, hey, let's

263
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,399
sneak in a like a map pack
here of just those OG four maps.

264
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:54,519
They've trickled them in remastered ones into
later other Black Ops Callduty games. So

265
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,960
if we were to get those brought
in here and then it's game Pass and

266
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,039
we can get all four of us
thrown in there, and like Shino Numa

267
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,679
actor in Totin, like, oh
man, that'd be so sick with like

268
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,879
all the perks newer guns too.
I would be like, yeah, I

269
00:16:10,879 --> 00:16:14,600
won't be there. I'm sorry,
I'll be there. The only thing I

270
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,200
have to add on this is,
man, the this is now, not

271
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,480
me being thirty, not me having
multiple children. I think called Duties make

272
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:26,919
me feel old because when they're starting
to tackle nine to eleven and Bill Cleinnan

273
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,639
and George Bush Senior and Sadamus saying
I'm like, man, this is how

274
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,679
it must have felt like when these
games were coming out fifteen years ago and

275
00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:38,039
they're tackling World War two and like
the Vietnam War and all this stuff,

276
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:41,000
where he's just like, I'm like, you can't, you can't do a

277
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:45,600
video game about this, and like
I'm sure people that generationally thought the same

278
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,440
thing, like you can't do like
a game that's like has nine to eleven

279
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,320
plot points. I'm like, I
guess you can. Like I guess they're

280
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:53,200
like it. Like so I just
felt old when we had heard about the

281
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:57,240
rumors and these trailers too, like
showing events that we have lived through in

282
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,240
a time where I was I feel
like after nine eleven is when I got

283
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:04,519
more politically like into things because like
that just happened in the world. So

284
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:10,640
it's just it's this just makes me
feel super super old that now they're tackling

285
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:15,519
stuff in our lifespan. So it's, uh, it's very odd to be

286
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,799
in but uh I'm happy for the
call duty people and whatever happens. And

287
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,000
are these is that jumping shit going
to be in War Zone two? Are

288
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,279
people jumping on the side at me. Don't you gotta worry about that?

289
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:30,720
Maybe I think maybe if they drop
Warzone three point zero, you'll might see

290
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,640
it, But no, I think
when you look at what they've did with

291
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:41,200
uh cality, World War two or
sorry Calderdy Vanguard and then the one of

292
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,160
the other cultuti's as well, a
Cold War. Those were released after Modern

293
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,599
War for one, and we had
already war Zone one. They had different

294
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,319
movements, but those movements were not
incorporated. It's just the guns and whatnot.

295
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,440
So I don't think you have to
worry about like Dolphin dives side shooting,

296
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,680
because that'd be that'd be a game
changer. But you make a good

297
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,759
point though, with them incorporating different
things that we've lived through in like nine

298
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:08,599
to eleven. I don't know.
I'm curious to see in what way that

299
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:11,880
I don't want to say like,
oh, that's I'm gonna play the campaign

300
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,000
because like, I don't. I'm
not saying that, but I'm curious,

301
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,000
and it's a terrible thing, and
it's just it's very bold to throw that

302
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:22,720
into a video. All the games
tackled terrible things, right, Like none

303
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,960
of the things that tackled are good
things, right, I was in like

304
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,880
the made up wars, like they
are all based off real life events.

305
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,559
They just get turned into a video
game. But all those things are awful,

306
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:37,519
so it's fair game. They have
no advanced warfare, so I don't

307
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:41,880
know. Now they're just going to
the semi recent present, which is yeah,

308
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,680
yeah, ten years Yeah, Travis
R. Mike you like there sounds

309
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:51,680
like he didn't see real quick.
Yeah, I'm I'm very excited for well,

310
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:56,160
I shouldn't say very excited for this. What I'm excited for is that

311
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,240
I can not have to buy this
game and still check it out. I

312
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,039
love the campaigns back in the day, so I'm sure I would jump in

313
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:04,640
and check it out. The story
not necessarily something I want to play,

314
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:10,319
but I would. I would just
do it just because expensive, like highly

315
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:15,599
produced game with like insanely good animations
and production value. So it's like,

316
00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:17,880
you know, when I play war
Zone and then I go play any other

317
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,920
first person shooter, I'm like,
yeah, Call of Duty just has the

318
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,000
best feel because like there's thousands of
people working on these games and they're just

319
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,960
so iterative and stuff. So yeah, it's gonna be a good time.

320
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,440
The most exciting thing for me though, is definitely Zombies. For years and

321
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,759
years and years, I've wanted to
get back into Zombies. I love it

322
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:36,359
so much. But it's like,
I'm not buying the full game just to

323
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:40,640
access these things. And I've always
wanted like the Zombies game, which is

324
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,799
just a combination of all the all
of the maps, and I guess I

325
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:47,839
can kind of in theory sort of
get that now by at some point all

326
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,559
these games should be on game Pass, the older ones. So yeah,

327
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:53,440
I'm really excited. I'll be there
with your Day one Taylor to jump into

328
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,000
Zombies, and I'll probably check out
multiplayer to like join you on the review.

329
00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:00,440
But I don't I don't in the
the way that Travis like doesn't want

330
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,880
to put that time in a Marble
snap and get hooked and only do that.

331
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,680
I don't want to go back into
a period of my life where all

332
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,200
I do is play call of duty
because I did that in high school and

333
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,480
I'm like, I'm good. I
play Warzone with you guys, you know,

334
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,119
every few weeks here, and it's
like that's the perfect amount of call

335
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,039
of duty in my life. So
yeah, but yeah, I'm glad that

336
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,920
I can kind of jump in without
needing to spend all that money anymore.

337
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,480
So that's cool for me. If
the rumor is true that this is actually

338
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,559
three hundred gigabytes and you need all
of that in order to get installed,

339
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,319
I probably won't play the game at
all because that's an insane thing to ask

340
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,039
of anyone. That's absolutely fucking stupid. The series S has like five hundred

341
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:45,400
gigabytes by default, Like, what
the hell you're asking for people to dedicate,

342
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,599
you know, seventy percent of their
default hard drive to this freaking game.

343
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,000
Like, if you're gonna do that, at least send me an external

344
00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:56,119
hot drive I can stick in to
my content for free. And absolutely ridiculous.

345
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,519
I hope that's not the case.
That's just supid. So any other

346
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,039
thoughts on this one? Boys like
the showcase of course, but n call

347
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,440
duty though, No, that's it. Okay, well that's what you sell

348
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:14,279
for. Okay. Let's jump in
the next thing, then, which is

349
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,359
Doom Dark Ages. Yeah, the
prequel Doom game coming out twenty twenty five,

350
00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:23,359
and yeah, it's just a medieval
setting Doom. You have shields and

351
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:29,920
medieval flails mixed with that regular you
know, crazy first person shooter gameplay that

352
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,880
you're used to. I think this
looks fucking unreal. I absolutely love this.

353
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,200
Such a fun idea. You know, it's like these are first person

354
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,480
shooter games, of course, but
like Doom twenty sixteen and Eternal, like

355
00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:45,039
the melee element of the game is
so important because that's how you regenerate,

356
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,960
and it is like this really great
push and pull, and so I think

357
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,880
having a game that is going to
focus even more on the melee weapons through

358
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,519
like medieval weaponry and crazy enemy types, but mixed with that regular gameplay that

359
00:21:56,559 --> 00:22:00,880
you're used to, I think it's
such a cool thing to do. And

360
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,359
I just love the setting, and
so I cannot wait for this. I

361
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,839
still have not played Eternal, but
I loved twenty sixteen, even though I

362
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:08,200
played it many years. I think
I played it in twenty twenty. I

363
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,079
played it way later down the road. But I this is really really cool

364
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:15,079
and I can't wait for this.
I think it's gonna be such a good

365
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,480
time. I'm this exact same boat
for you. I think Eternal just came

366
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,240
out of a bad time. Because
I played twenty sixteen. I maybe can

367
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:27,559
contribute Doom to the reassurgence of me
becoming a first person player, like playing

368
00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:30,799
more of that genre. And I
don't know why. I can't remember.

369
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,720
It goes back to Briggs because Briggs
was playing it and Briggs recommended it,

370
00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:40,400
and then from there, I don't
know why. It was something about how

371
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,720
Briggs was describing the game, like
I want to get in this. I

372
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:47,240
think it was just like it's all. It was like an e either I

373
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,200
don't know if I had Xbox at
that point, so it was an easy

374
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,880
download or it was like a twenty
dollars purchase. I think it was one

375
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,599
of those things. I was like, Okay, this is easy. Absolutely

376
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:56,119
loved that game when I really didn't
think and I wasn't like a big Doom

377
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,240
fan growing up, so I know
Eternals came out at a different time,

378
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,599
but this is like this has motivated
me to Okay, I'm gonna go do

379
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,119
Eternal and then I'm gonna be their
day one for this because the aesthetic everything

380
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,759
about this this is just awesome.
That gun where you put skulls in and

381
00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:15,680
you shoot pieces of skull bones.
People my like they're always so creative,

382
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,440
but this was like, this is
the most creative they've been yet, even

383
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:21,799
just the look with the helmet and
you got like a feathered cape, Like

384
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,160
I'm there day one for this one, So I can't wait, and I'm

385
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,200
excited to play Eternal because I didn't
know. I guess it's more comedic.

386
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:32,440
So people have been using I've seen
this done by a lot of people that

387
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,279
use the Doom Eternal chart and then
the Evil Dead movies as a chart where

388
00:23:36,279 --> 00:23:38,680
it's like one's the dark one,
two's the comedic one, and then three

389
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:41,200
is like army darkness where it goes
back and me, So, okay,

390
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,880
I like that a lot. Yeah, so I did not know that Eternal

391
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,640
was considered by many it's like a
more comedic one and more like slapsticky.

392
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,440
So now I have that going in. But yeah, I will catch up

393
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,440
because I want to. This is
twenty twenty five, so I have time.

394
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,920
I could even see this being falled
next year. Say they have lots

395
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,680
of time, But this is like, uh, this is I think probably

396
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:03,720
my game in the show, maybe
barring one other one. But I absolutely

397
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:07,160
love this. I loved everything about
it. Can't say enough good things about

398
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,240
it. And to come out with
your first show case of a new game

399
00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:12,079
and have a ton of game play
in it, Chef. Yes, it's

400
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,799
perfect, perfect way to show off
this thing too. So Taylor, I

401
00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:18,640
don't know, have you played any
of these newer Doom games or are you

402
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,480
interested in this at all? I've
never played Doom actually, but this is

403
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:30,440
a pretty time to jumpasast day one
games past. Yeah. This this really

404
00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:34,079
caught me off guard because I always
thought they were like you had the Hell

405
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:40,240
everything like that. My my Doom
familiarity is the Lane Johnson movie. Well

406
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,279
that's a bad yeah, don't.
You've got to rewrite that history right now.

407
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,799
So, uh, It's definitely a
game that always just kind of terrified

408
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:51,039
me. I eber seeing like Doom
three. I think it was with like

409
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:52,920
the beast monster on the cover.
I walk into Evy games back in the

410
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,799
day for PC like some very freaky
and this just seems wild. You have

411
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:03,599
the this medieval take and yeah,
just the the weaponry is cool, very

412
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:10,440
different from the the blastom one from
before. So like, I'm totally down

413
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,400
to try this. It just seems
absolutely chaotic and gross and I'm I'm there.

414
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,640
I mean, games passed. How
can you say no at this point?

415
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,640
How can you say no? Well, you have to say no?

416
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,440
To game pass if you're playing this
on PlayStation, but you can in fact

417
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,079
play this game on your PS five. It appears to be day one along

418
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:32,240
with this, So yeah, that's
the next like big first party Xbox game

419
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,079
that we're gonna be seen coming to
PlayStation, which is a really interesting thing

420
00:25:36,079 --> 00:25:37,400
of where they didn't show it in
the showcase, but they talked about it

421
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,160
afterwards. I don't even know the
context of how it came up, but

422
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,559
it did come up. It was
an ign interview and then he's like,

423
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,079
well, the crey of the game. I asked him such a bullshit answer.

424
00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:48,960
He's like, I asked him,
like, how do you see doom

425
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,519
in the creators like develop the developer
or whatever, Just like, well,

426
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:53,880
I see this on all platforms And
he's like, well, then that's what

427
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,400
we decided to do. It's like
bull shit, Like if you want this

428
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:03,119
to be just like developers love in
the head, yeah, it's the same

429
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,160
thing. Like it was the same
interview when they asked like, oh,

430
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,279
why haven't you spoke about the layoffs. He's like, well, I just

431
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,519
wanted to give I don't want to
put the focus on me and let the

432
00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:15,400
developers and focus me on the people
and stuff. It's like, no,

433
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:18,119
you should have been out there day
one, apologize and they're like having some

434
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,519
sort of statement and the statement was
BS. But that's why I supposed was

435
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:23,400
that the creator wants it to be
on all consoles still, and that's why

436
00:26:23,599 --> 00:26:29,319
look at that empowering your developers.
Yeah yeah, so, and this brings

437
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,039
up an interesting conversation which you're mentioning
Travis of like how this feels more like

438
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,640
a summer game fest type showcase than
just next box showcase for you. So

439
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,000
to my account, eighteen of the
thirty games showing the showcase, here are

440
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:47,440
games that are also available on PlayStation. Now a couple of those fourteen that

441
00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:49,799
was my aunt. That was my
So that's majority. I thought it was

442
00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:52,799
lower than that. So the majority
of the games you get still because I

443
00:26:52,839 --> 00:26:56,759
know what people say and I've always
seen the debates, and then because people

444
00:26:56,759 --> 00:26:59,640
go, oh, well, why
wouldn't you by game pass again, people

445
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,799
don't understand there are many people in
the world that will just choose to have

446
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,920
one console. So when people go, oh, well, why you're an

447
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,839
idiot you buy a PlayStation, they
might buy a PlayStation because they want to

448
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:12,000
play Spider Man. God of War
and now it's good for them. I

449
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,880
think bad as a competition to let
PlayStation nowt Like, if you're a Doom

450
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,599
fan, it would be like the
oh shit, I got an Xbox.

451
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:22,559
Now it's like I have it.
So again, I've rang this bell for

452
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,079
years. Games Pass was a bad
idea for a business. This is a

453
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:27,640
bad idea for a business. But
they just want to get as much many

454
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,160
as possible, so whatever they're doing
their thing. Yeah, I mean,

455
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,359
I hope it works out for them
because I don't want them to have to

456
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,519
shut down more studios. And of
course I have a huge fan of game

457
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:44,160
Pass and I take advantage of the
service so much. Planes like the majority

458
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,039
of the games that come out on
it new, so it's fantastic. Yeah.

459
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:48,359
I hope it succeeds for them,
and I hope they don't have to

460
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,079
lay off any more people. So
yeah, but yeah, it is interesting,

461
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,279
like just you know, and a
lot of those things are like,

462
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:59,160
Okay, Elder Scrolls Online. It's
been on PlayStation forever and then they acquired

463
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,799
the studio of the game is still
on PlayStation, so that number might seem

464
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:03,960
a bit weird, but when you
look at and like in terms of new

465
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,960
games, it probably the number would
be a bit lower, but even then

466
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,559
it's like, yeah, like KFC
I Thieves gets an update, and that's

467
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:15,319
of course just got put over on
PlayStation this game as well. So that's

468
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,480
a really interesting angle to it.
And Taylor, I'm curious what your thoughts

469
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,359
are on that side of things,
just because we had that conversation a few

470
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,480
weeks ago, when we're a couple
of months ago now when those four games

471
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,119
were first coming to PlayStation. But
now we're getting Doom, among probably many

472
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,880
others. But that's at least the
one, I believe the only first party

473
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,079
thing that was announced here that is
confirmed coming to PlayStation. There's a lot

474
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:37,720
of core speculation on other ones,
but I think Doom is the only official

475
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,079
one. But yeah, how are
you feeling about that? I mean,

476
00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:41,480
you weren't a fan of it when
we talked about a few weeks ago,

477
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,640
but how are you feeling on it
now that it's been a thing for a

478
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,920
few months. It makes sense to
do it, to be honest, like

479
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,279
it really does. It's it's kind
of like this is gonna sound dark.

480
00:28:53,079 --> 00:28:57,920
You're a weapons manufacturer and you're selling
weapons to both sides, and like if

481
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:03,000
Xbox was just had their teams making
games for them and just making games only

482
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:06,839
for them, to be selling these
games and making money only for them,

483
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:08,519
I mean, yeah, you're gonna
be making money, but you're not making

484
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:11,319
nearly as much money. If you
own the developer and that developer is making

485
00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:15,000
games for all consoles and other companies
too, then that means Okay, you're

486
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,200
tapping into the whole market here,
and you're gonna be writing yourself a bigger

487
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,559
paycheck at the end of the week. So I think it's the right thing

488
00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:25,680
to do. And ultimately with with
cross play and all this kind of stuff,

489
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,799
that's just it feels like, well, yes, you have your go

490
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,160
to consoles, like you said,
Travis Loft, people have that one console.

491
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,200
Me I just have my Xbox.
Yeah, right. It's it's nice

492
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,920
that it's coming to a point where
you can have your preference of console,

493
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,519
your preference of controller, and your
preference of subscriptions. But it's coming to

494
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:48,400
a point where it's all uh intermingled, right. I don't think it is,

495
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,039
though, I think it's getting not
all the way around. Where are

496
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:56,519
these Where's last of Us got of
War? Spider Mount Xbox. Where's Mario

497
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,000
Party, Mario Honsy on Xbox?
It's just Xbox because, like you said,

498
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,039
they're cost very early though I mean
I'm not saying we're there, I

499
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:06,559
mean you can play like I think
it's a big thing for Sony to put

500
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:08,279
those titles like God of War,
Last of Us, des Straying all on

501
00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:12,799
PC. And now again it's not
available on Xbox, but Xbox is branched

502
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:15,839
into PC heavily with with what they
got going on there, so people that

503
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,720
want to PC you can tap into
both those things now all of a sudden.

504
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:22,480
So we're getting to that point soon
where I think you'll see a lot

505
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,319
of progression. Maybe eventually in the
next I'm not going to drop a date

506
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,039
or anything like that, but in
the next century you're gonna see You're going

507
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:34,200
to see things. I don't I
don't think soon. I really don't think

508
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:40,319
Nintendo and PlayStation are going to go
that route because they literally have a decade's

509
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:42,759
worth of information to show look what
happens when you do that, and then

510
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:49,920
look what happens when you keep games
to yourself. Suggest that PlayStation's venturing into

511
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,720
that market more not not on a
massive level. To me, no,

512
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:59,759
that's just like a throwaway kids family
game. When if we get one of

513
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:03,279
those big ips all on Xbox,
then I will recount what I'm saying.

514
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:07,920
But that is also launching too.
To me, it's like it's not the

515
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,480
same and they that's their bread and
butter PlayStation more on Nintendo is that is

516
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:18,640
that not Nintendo's Nintendo is tricky,
but I because it's not kind of the

517
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,319
same angle as like, okay,
Xbox is going to PlayStation put their games

518
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:25,160
out there, because the install base
that people have this consoles like well like

519
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,599
three to one at this point in
terms of the ratio, if not higher,

520
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,519
And that's like the same thing for
at least PlayStation currently to Switch is

521
00:31:32,519 --> 00:31:33,920
like what a two to one ratio
or three to one ratio as well,

522
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,160
So it's like very much the same
thing. So I'm curious why you feel

523
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,839
so differently about like PlayStation doing that. And yes, it's only been one

524
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,680
game so far, but I think
that's because the Switch can't run any other

525
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:49,559
PlayStation like notable games yet in that
just because I think Microsoft has more financial

526
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,599
room to play where I don't think
Sony wants to cut their legs out of

527
00:31:52,599 --> 00:31:57,440
their console sales. Like Sony Gaming
Sony Movie Division is like fine, it

528
00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:00,480
does well, it has ups and
and everything like that. It's not like

529
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:05,640
Microsoft that can buy like things ten
times over if they want to write this

530
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,920
multi almost trillion trillion dollar corporation.
So that's why I think for me,

531
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:14,480
they don't want to cut that well
of money off right now. And I

532
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:16,119
think if they do start to do
that, like Tata says, then it's

533
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,680
just well, you just pick the
console you like. You lose it's supply

534
00:32:20,759 --> 00:32:23,599
and demand. You lose the need
to have a PlayStation. That's why other

535
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,799
than games Pass the second, that's
why they're tied to Games Pass. Now

536
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,079
second games Pass goes away. If
they were to go away, Xbox is

537
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:34,920
done. The consoles. They're completely
done because there's no reason to buy an

538
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:37,240
Xbox anymore in my opinion, because
now all these games are going over so

539
00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:40,880
PlayStation. They've not done a great
job with their Plus or whatever the hell

540
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,039
they keep calling. They keep renaming
their things, and they don't put their

541
00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:47,079
big games on there. So to
me, I don't think I'll say,

542
00:32:47,119 --> 00:32:52,519
at least the next fifteen years,
you're not gonna get specific on Xbox Nintendo.

543
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,039
I need more time to think about
that, because you could argue there's

544
00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:00,799
still a bit of a different player
base there with some more family oriented people.

545
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,119
I agree, like you said,
so many people have to switch at

546
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,880
such a wide ven diagram. But
to me, I think with Xbox,

547
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,200
they're gonna they're gonna lude the M
Plus, if you look at all those

548
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:14,599
court finds that came out that that
was a very there's a reason PlayStation isn't

549
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:17,759
putting stuff on an Xbox because they
had a really like heated back and forth

550
00:33:17,799 --> 00:33:21,480
of them during that whole activision buying
thing. You know, it was not

551
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,480
a good goal around when they did
all those interviews and everything. So I

552
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,160
think there's some salt there. Even
today, Phil called them slimy. He

553
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,039
called PlayStation slimy today in an interview. So that's where it's like, yeah,

554
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,359
I just don't see that happening right
now. We're Nintendo. They're smart

555
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,640
enough not to do that publicly.
They're not gonna say anything about PlayStation being

556
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:44,200
slimy. They because he said,
oh yeah, I don't wanna withheld it

557
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,839
was about why I think it was
why do it was Doom or one other

558
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,079
game coming to PlayStation. He's like, I don't want to do let me

559
00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:52,119
try and find the exact thing.
I'll just put it in. Well,

560
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,079
I was gonna say Phil and slimy, but it was saying that he doesn't

561
00:33:55,079 --> 00:34:00,079
want to hold games back because it's
a slimy thing to do. That's a

562
00:33:59,839 --> 00:34:02,160
thing in that PlayStation, not putting
games on Xboxey, here you go,

563
00:34:04,079 --> 00:34:10,079
PlayStation calls PlayStation or for slimy,
Phil Spencer clts PlayStation simming, for paying

564
00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:14,159
publishers for exclusive content. Oh so
it's about the call duty stuff. I

565
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:15,239
want to give you the choice of
how you can play, where you can

566
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,880
play, and who you play with, and not trying to do slat sliming

567
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,840
platform things and try and force you
to do what you want and what you

568
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,599
want to do. So it's like, and we know who's talking about close

569
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:28,440
down, they're not. He's not
talking about Nintendo, is what I said.

570
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,599
Yeah, when they brought those first
four games over and yeah, just

571
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:36,119
the holder than thou mentality that they
had of like oh we're just yeah,

572
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,599
such a beacon of like oh yeah, anyone should play anywhere they want.

573
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:40,679
It's like, yeah, okay,
you've been like four games now, you're

574
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:45,239
doing like five of these games and
the other ones you have. But because

575
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,119
you like bought the studios that order
these games on those platforms, like,

576
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,880
yeah, they're their mentality there.
They think they're just such like Saints is

577
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,679
so billy to me, and that's
why I think he's trying to do the

578
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,519
underdog thing. But the problem is
you can't do the underdog thing when you

579
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:01,559
just laid off twelve thousand employees.
That's the problem. When your parent company

580
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:07,039
is the most has more money than
they turned a profit last year, there's

581
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:09,159
no reason they had to do this. My point is my or my endpoint

582
00:35:09,199 --> 00:35:13,559
is that I'm never gonna say never, but it was soon. That's why

583
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:15,599
I can't agree with Tana. I
don't think it's soon for PlayStation, Xbox,

584
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,199
Nintendo in PlayStations, Yeah, you
did change the century, but I

585
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,239
think that's that's so of why,
because who knows what happens recessions, other

586
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,920
pandemics, like who knows other consoles, Maybe the PlayStation six comes out and

587
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,119
it fucking bombs, and then it
is like a situation where like same thing

588
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:36,199
if you flip the tur corners,
if Xbox was in the position PlayStations do

589
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,440
you think they're doing this? I
don't think so. I think PlayStation is

590
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,280
spreading the love where Xbox could be
the bully in the room and say no,

591
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,079
like you gotta we're go in.
All the games are over here.

592
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:46,840
So it's just like you never know
what can happen. But I don't think

593
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,360
soon that some something like fifteen years. I don't think you're gonna get those

594
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,800
big games on PlayStation. They they
got to keep those, Brent Butter,

595
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,079
I haven't obviously read that full quote
that you had there from Phil, but

596
00:35:58,119 --> 00:36:01,679
it's just such once again, just
such bullshit, like the sliminess angle of

597
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:07,039
like fuck you you just like weeks
after laying off these studios when you have

598
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:08,559
no reason too, and like,
yeah, I will agree that I think

599
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:14,840
PlayStation is slimy in some ways some
other exbsolutely stuff with like exclusive characters and

600
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,000
games or like exclusive missions or yeah, just some of the ways they dealt

601
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:21,880
with that call of duty thing was
like it seems slimmy to me, Like,

602
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,119
yeah, PlayStation also laid off people
earlier this year, including people a

603
00:36:24,199 --> 00:36:28,480
Naughty Dog. What the oh yeah, lotty Dog, So both of them

604
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:32,199
are equally slimist. So Phil,
fuck off with that stuff. Yeah,

605
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:35,559
enough of him, He needs to
shut up for a while. I guess

606
00:36:35,559 --> 00:36:37,760
people want to hear from him though, So it makes sense, but just

607
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:43,119
a just a cheese ball. But
what I was gonna say last, Yeah,

608
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:47,519
I think with Xbox, like another
big thing that's been leaking but hasn't

609
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,360
been officially confirmed, is that they
are potentially working on a handheld system and

610
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,920
from what we've heard, it would
be different than what you know. So

611
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,480
many obviously had the Vita and PSP
back in the day, but they have

612
00:36:59,559 --> 00:37:01,480
that poor role nowadays, which is
like connected via the Internet and you can

613
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,280
play games that way, and so
it's kind of like the switch handheld version,

614
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,039
but you have to be connected to
the Internet. It seems like Xbox's

615
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:12,280
version is gonna be not that you
can download games and play them on the

616
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,320
go without an interconnect internet connection,
and I think that could be a huge

617
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,360
thing for them with a game pass
angle of it, of like here are

618
00:37:19,559 --> 00:37:22,679
you know whatever two hundred three hundred
games that they have in their catalog,

619
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,039
three hundred probably when they get Activision
Blizzard in there, download whatever games you

620
00:37:25,079 --> 00:37:28,400
want, go on your trip.
You have all these games at your disposal.

621
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,280
I think that could be a huge
thing from them, and that could

622
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,519
be a potential big seller of wanting
to bring people back to Xbox because of

623
00:37:34,639 --> 00:37:37,599
just game Pass with that handheld console
could be insanely good. I mean,

624
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:42,000
I know there's the Steam Deck and
you can like download all sorts of random

625
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,440
shit and get game Pass on there, but I think for a lot of

626
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,360
people that don't want to mess around
with that stuff, they just want it

627
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,320
out of the box to build to
do that. So really curious to see

628
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,599
what that is because that could be
a big deal for Xbox. If that

629
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:57,320
could is good, If that handheld
console is a good, you know,

630
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,360
piece of hardware, I could see
myself getting one of those. I don't

631
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,679
see myself getting the next Xbox right
now. I'm just gonna go for PC

632
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,800
next time around, and you know, my series X will last me for

633
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,840
a few years at this point.
And then at that point, whatever I'm

634
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,039
really itching a play Doom, I'll
just get O the next PlayStation. Whenever

635
00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,800
I picked that up, you know, yeah, and it's and he practically

636
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,400
confirmed the handheld during that interview.
He didn't want to say it, but

637
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,039
like, yeah, yeah, it's
and then yeah, I'm with you.

638
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:24,679
That's an exciting thing. And but
also that's the thing too if like you

639
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,559
never know, that could come on
blow up, they could come out on

640
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:30,039
each shit, and it's like that
puts you your company in a whole different

641
00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:31,960
perspective, right, So it's it's
there, they're make it so moves just

642
00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:36,719
yeah with the portal be o now
steam deck having a couple iterations, yeah,

643
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,119
and the switch being out for so
long, hopefully there's like enough market

644
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:43,320
research out there, and there's other
companies who are making other handheld machines that

645
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,880
are you know, not proprietary to
like a certain platform, and yeah,

646
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,519
there's a lot of them out there, so hopefully they can get it right

647
00:38:49,559 --> 00:38:52,320
because they can see what other companies
are doing, get the right price point.

648
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,199
They already have the catalog of games
and the service to go along with

649
00:38:55,239 --> 00:39:00,280
it, so hopefully that works out
for them. That was a nice little

650
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:07,599
tangent conversation about the next game,
which is a State of Decay three author

651
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,159
to Taylor, first, you said
you were excited for this. It finally

652
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:15,159
is back after three years. What's
worrisome is no gameplay though, That's that's

653
00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:17,760
my concern. Is it worrisome though, because I feel like it's just gonna

654
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,599
be more of the same, right, Like, if you like stay play

655
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:23,280
gameplay, it's gonna be that with
a few new bells and whistles. Right.

656
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,079
I'm sorry, I'm gonna cut in
right here, because to me,

657
00:39:28,159 --> 00:39:30,960
this is like the other huge fumble
of this showcase. Was Okay, three

658
00:39:31,039 --> 00:39:34,880
years since we've seen this game,
that was the announced trailer before, come

659
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,400
back after all this time, for
no gameplay, for no release window,

660
00:39:37,559 --> 00:39:40,719
no anything. I don't I don't
see the point. There's been a lot

661
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,559
of reports of this studio having a
lot of issues with like turnover and toxicity,

662
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:46,719
and like maybe the game is not
doing so well, and so that's

663
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,719
was it really revealed three years ago? Yeah, reveals three years ago.

664
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,280
Okay, I did not know the
fact, so I walk it back to

665
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,800
me. Keep it in the tank. Don't spend the money to make this

666
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,559
random ass CGI trailer when you're I
need to show it when you think it's

667
00:40:00,599 --> 00:40:04,360
gonna be you know, out in
the next year. Yeah, maybe that

668
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,239
is the case. Maybe they're gonna
have gameplays soon and the game is actually

669
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,639
coming out next year. That could
be the case, but I feel like

670
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:13,599
they should have had a more substantial
showing here. I think this one should

671
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:15,280
have stayed in the stayed on the
bench for now and let it cook some

672
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,679
more. I was just kind of
salty when it was all said, and

673
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,559
I'm like, hey, cool intro
cinematic. Can't we see the gameplay here?

674
00:40:23,039 --> 00:40:25,760
And then we just got nothing.
So I don't know, Like Taylor,

675
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,000
is there a lot of driving in
the first two games? Other games

676
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,760
driving is an element? Yeah,
a bit of gas. That's something cool

677
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,119
to me, But like it sounds
like that's not even something new, So

678
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,800
like, I don't I don't know
what I'm supposed to latch on here as

679
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:45,000
someone who doesn't know these games.
Everything that I saw in this cinematic was,

680
00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:50,599
honestly, yeah, nothing new.
What peaked my interest was that first

681
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,840
cinematic three years ago when the person's
hunting through the woods and there's a zombie

682
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,760
deer. Zombie animals is an entirely
new mechanic. It's also in the snow

683
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,559
like seasons. That's all whole new
mechanic. That's not really I mean,

684
00:41:01,559 --> 00:41:05,599
it was a seedgy trailer, but
it looked really good at the time.

685
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,559
Yeah, so it's weird to come
out three years later and have less to

686
00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:12,199
show and for and for it to
be a lot less interesting. Absolutely,

687
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,119
so I'm like, I'm curious to
see what things are going to be improving

688
00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:21,440
on in addition to what we already
know that this game has, and I'll

689
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,559
never forget, like some of my
favorite memories playing Stage ok Too with my

690
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:28,400
friends where you basically you pick your
map and your friends can come into your

691
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,800
map and they can help build and
gather resources with you, and basically you

692
00:41:31,119 --> 00:41:35,199
infestations of peer up you got to
clear them. There's sibusis you can do.

693
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,679
You get your vehicle, you can
upgrade your vehicle, vehicles take damage,

694
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,719
and you can recruit people, and
you can cycle between characters on your

695
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,239
base. And each character has unique
different attributes, different backstories and cosmetics you

696
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,679
can give them, and you can
give them different weapons, and you can

697
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,760
deck them out. It's a very
very fun, addicting game, and it

698
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:58,480
can be amazingly overwhelming too when you
get caught in situations where like your characters

699
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,559
are fucked and you don't want to
lose a character, but when you lose

700
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:02,760
a character, they reanimate and they'll
chase your friends because they turn into a

701
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:08,039
zombie but it's one of those few
zombie games that when you're out at nighttime,

702
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,239
it's scary and you got to be
extremely careful what you're getting up to

703
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:15,400
because there's there's a lot of risks. So the fact that you can have

704
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:20,000
animals incorporated there would be wonderful.
But yeah, this, this cinematic did

705
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,639
not. It gave me hope that
Okay, this is the first time it's

706
00:42:22,639 --> 00:42:25,519
been mentioned in a long time.
They're still working at it, still on

707
00:42:25,559 --> 00:42:30,000
the board, somewhere, still on
the board. I mean they this is

708
00:42:30,039 --> 00:42:35,800
this, This is skate all over
again. Really, I mean except without

709
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,480
the pre pre alpha gameplay, so
it's actually behind skates. So yeah,

710
00:42:38,559 --> 00:42:42,000
yeah, they're not even at a
point where they can show pre pre alpha

711
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,119
footage. Yeah. I liked the
as like a short film. I liked

712
00:42:45,199 --> 00:42:49,679
the idea of this guy doing a
little sacrifice and they keep this little airloom

713
00:42:49,679 --> 00:42:52,800
and they reveal that there's just like
this whole like setup for all these heirlooms

714
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,800
that people dedicated to remember. So
it's like, I like that, and

715
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:00,440
I'm not sure if it would be
that Like, are they very story driven

716
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,079
games too? Are they kind of
minimal? It's more about the gameplay.

717
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:08,039
I mean, I don't remember there's
been Instead of being a main story,

718
00:43:08,119 --> 00:43:13,440
there's a general narrative going forward.
It's very basic, but for the most

719
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,480
part not Your goal is to just
build your base up, get fuel,

720
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:20,039
get all these different things like food
and stuff, and just start expanding.

721
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,719
And that's where to me, unless
there's a big change, word is a

722
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,440
bit more story focused, because I
did like that. I think that was

723
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,280
like a fun, like a really
kind of touching sentiment to have in a

724
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,599
world where you're keeping all these sacrifices. If that's not a big addition,

725
00:43:32,679 --> 00:43:36,239
then I am with Dylan that yeah, you should just left this on the

726
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,159
back burner for a little bit more
and then come come out a bit hotter.

727
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,599
But at least, like you said
to it is good something where it

728
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:44,960
is. At least they're reminding you
that it is out there and coming where

729
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,280
like we joke about beyond good and
Evil, but like we haven't heard about

730
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,559
that in like seven years, you
know, So it's like at least it

731
00:43:49,599 --> 00:43:52,559
is like their intentions are to make
this and you know, some of that

732
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:55,239
multiplayer stuff sound intriguing. So now
that I have games Pass, maybe if

733
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,719
it pops up. I'd be down
to do some stuff with you guys,

734
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:04,199
but I think it's still kind of
a twenty twenty five like Q four the

735
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,960
earliest if i'm you know, to
be optimistic. But yeah, let's take

736
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:13,559
a quick break and we'll be right
back for more of the Xbox Showcase.

737
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:20,000
Okay, we are back. Dragon
Age Vailguard was up next. This is

738
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,960
coming out fall of this year.
I a huge blind spot for me in

739
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,400
gaming is BioWare. I've not played
any of their games, and I played

740
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,199
Dragon Age and I played Mass Effect. Oh this was a CG trailer,

741
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,400
you know, sho some cool characters. I like fantasy stuff, so I

742
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,800
could be convinced. This isn't a
game pass one though, so it's not

743
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,639
like a guaranteed pickup for me.
I know people are hyped for this,

744
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,199
especially in our chat. A couple
of people were really hype on it,

745
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,719
but it's just not not where my
cone of knowledge is. So I don't

746
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,519
think I've much to add on this. This do anything for you guys.

747
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,719
I'm a mass Effect guy, so
nope, by that's not my realm of

748
00:44:52,719 --> 00:45:00,239
BioWare. I got nothing. You
like mass Effect and you like fantasy could

749
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,039
be up your alley. Yeah,
maybe one day. I think it's just

750
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:05,960
that there's been other fantasy games that
have polled me. I think at times

751
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:08,960
Drag and Age maybe looked a bit
on like the anime side, which like

752
00:45:09,679 --> 00:45:14,880
I'm more open to now, but
I think, yeah, I think it's

753
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,639
young and Travis like, yeah,
not really for me. So maybe,

754
00:45:16,679 --> 00:45:20,760
but I think there's still other probably
fancy, like I'd still probably do a

755
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,079
vowed over this, so I'm not
saying they're the same thing, but just

756
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:27,079
like I think there's already other fancy
games that are coming soon or even talked

757
00:45:27,079 --> 00:45:30,400
about. We're like, eh,
I maybe would rather go with something new

758
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,840
than jumping on a ninety dollars by
risk. Yes, yeah, but I

759
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,599
hear great things. So one day
i'll I'll, like we talked about a

760
00:45:37,639 --> 00:45:39,039
couple of weeks ago with Monster Hunter, one day I'll scratch that itch.

761
00:45:39,079 --> 00:45:43,000
But today is not that day,
and this year is not that year either,

762
00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:46,840
So okay. Next up then is
a Starfield. Shattered Space is of

763
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,079
course the announced expansion, so it's
coming out this year, is what they

764
00:45:51,119 --> 00:45:52,519
said. I'm gonna guess it's gonna
come out around that one year mark,

765
00:45:52,559 --> 00:45:55,480
which was. It came out September
six, I think a few days early

766
00:45:55,519 --> 00:45:59,320
with the early access, so I'm
gonna guess that's kind of roughly when it's

767
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,519
going to be coming out. But
we'll see the big hook here. For

768
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:07,800
like, what this delC is about
is very focused on Varun, which is

769
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,360
kind of one of the factions in
the game. And I think this we

770
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,960
probably even talked about this on our
spoiler episode or something Travis talking about what

771
00:46:14,039 --> 00:46:16,400
Chattered Space could be, which is
like Varun is a big faction in the

772
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,559
game, but like their home world
is inaccessible in the game. Like you,

773
00:46:20,679 --> 00:46:22,960
they are mysteriously hidden off the grid. So it makes a lot of

774
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,639
sense that for the big deal C
expansion you'd go visit them, which is

775
00:46:27,639 --> 00:46:29,519
great because they're you know, a
big part of the world, and like

776
00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:32,679
Andresa one of the main companions,
that's like where her backstory is, so

777
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:36,280
it makes a lot of sense.
I'm excited that we're going there and it

778
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,280
could be cool. It's weird and
culty and you know, religious cult type

779
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,519
things, so I'm all into that. And then of course there's like other

780
00:46:44,079 --> 00:46:46,920
things come along with it, like
new I don't know, characters and weapons,

781
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:52,400
and Creations is coming too, So
now I can that mod's going around

782
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,320
today where you can play as the
Mandalorin or Boba Fette, then I will

783
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,280
definitely be partaking in that when I
go back. Yeah, so there was

784
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,519
two parts of this. There was
a Shattered Space stuff which come past the

785
00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:02,239
DLC come out later this year,
and then there was like the an update

786
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:07,840
that came out today which has Creation
Club stuff where you can download mods for

787
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:13,239
the game console and PC. Finally, some stuff is a free add on,

788
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,519
so like this Tracker's Alliance that added
this new faction quest. But here's

789
00:47:16,519 --> 00:47:19,719
where it gets a bit dicey.
From what I understand, and I haven't

790
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,079
jumped back in yet. Is that
a couple of quests for tractors lines cool

791
00:47:23,159 --> 00:47:28,000
readown your redownload your game, or
get your update going go check it out.

792
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,079
But then once you get past the
first couple of missions, and then

793
00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:36,039
you gotta pay for the next line
in the mission, you know, and

794
00:47:36,079 --> 00:47:37,480
there's like some of the stuff they
showed you in here you gotta pay for.

795
00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:40,480
You want those plushies that you thought
were cute, three bucks, five

796
00:47:40,519 --> 00:47:45,039
bucks, seven bucks, You want
this other gun? Maybe that's actually free

797
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:46,840
so it's a bit dicey what is
paid for, what's free, and when

798
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,800
it comes to content and mods,
like some of that stuff is free,

799
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,639
someone's paid for. It's confusing,
it's nedless. I haven't really I don't

800
00:47:53,679 --> 00:47:55,960
have a first time experience with you
because I haven't jumped in there yet,

801
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,760
so I don't know. It seems
a bit dicey, but I mean Bethesda's

802
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,280
been doing that for a long time. They are very nicklin dyeing me when

803
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,800
it comes to their DLC stuff,
and usually I do not nicklin dying for

804
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,400
those things. I'll get the DLC
packs, I'll get the big expansion,

805
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:14,360
but I'm not interested in spending three
dollars on like a new rug to put

806
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:15,400
in front of my house. You
know, yes, of course I'm not

807
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,440
going down to that level. I
mean, I think back in the day,

808
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,320
I about horse armor for Oblivion,
but I was, you know,

809
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,400
I was like in middle Land.
Blame me for that in a way.

810
00:48:23,519 --> 00:48:27,800
So so yeah, I for me
star for all these updates. There's been

811
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,800
other updates in the last few months
that look great. I'm waiting for Shattered

812
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:31,800
Space. That's when I'm gonna jump
back in. I kind of want it

813
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:36,400
all in one package, so to
speak. But I all this stuff really

814
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:37,719
excites me. I have a bunch
of new content. I already really enjoyed

815
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,920
the game obviously, so yeah,
I'm very excited for Shotted Space and I'll

816
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,840
definitely be jumping in to check it
out. But yeah, Travis, what

817
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,639
do you what did you think of
this just wealth of things coming into the

818
00:48:47,679 --> 00:48:51,360
game. Yeah, no, I'm
really excited about that. I will do

819
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,079
the same thing as you us weight
because I've had it on the menu and

820
00:48:53,119 --> 00:48:57,800
I've been like late, like right
now because now I'm going to try and

821
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,840
play some elm Ring before the DLC
comes up. Before then, I was

822
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,519
thinking about going back to Starfield,
and I've been like looking at an itching

823
00:49:04,599 --> 00:49:07,480
too, so I think I will
wait for that. But uh, yeah,

824
00:49:07,679 --> 00:49:10,480
everything here looked great. I think
they delivered on some fun story stuff

825
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,639
and this looks like some good more
lower to the world. So yeah,

826
00:49:14,679 --> 00:49:16,559
I'm like you, I had a
positive experience with Starfield, and I would

827
00:49:16,599 --> 00:49:20,119
still like to go back. There's
just tons of stuff to do in that

828
00:49:20,159 --> 00:49:22,440
game that I don't have time for. But yeah, I'm I think this

829
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:25,679
was a good showing and I'm I'm
excited to get back to that world later

830
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:30,079
on this year. So yeah,
and considering how many times like Starfield called

831
00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:32,440
delayed and push back, I think
it's great for them that like within a

832
00:49:32,519 --> 00:49:36,559
year is like they released the expansion. It's not like, oh, I

833
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:37,960
mean it could you know, it's
never too late. They could could kick

834
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,119
it out to twenty twenty five.
But it's hopefully they can keep the updates

835
00:49:42,159 --> 00:49:45,199
coming, and they have been coming
pretty frequently since the game's release. Taylor,

836
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,760
you of course jumped down and play
a few hours to talk with me

837
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,400
and Travis, but you ever went
back to it. But does this DLC

838
00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:55,280
or any of these updates sell you
on wanting to redownload the game and jump

839
00:49:55,360 --> 00:50:01,679
back in. Oh I still have
downloaded. Okay, I had because,

840
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:07,639
like I definitely I played and fell
off a little bit after the review.

841
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,079
Fell off, A little bit fell
off, a little bit fell greatly.

842
00:50:12,119 --> 00:50:15,920
I would ye, plummeted would be
the word. I think I would like

843
00:50:15,079 --> 00:50:19,199
to get back into it, but
it's just added to that list of other

844
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,320
games that I need to complete,
like Cyberlanacy, Cyberpunk. Let's say you

845
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,239
made a list of, like,
you know, the twenty games that you

846
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,880
want to play in order? Where
would Starfield be on that list? Like?

847
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,719
Is it top ten? Even?
Let's be top ten for sure.

848
00:50:32,079 --> 00:50:36,400
Absolutely, it would probably be top
five because off the top of my head

849
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,079
right now, it would be this
is not in ranked order. It would

850
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:46,599
be like Cyberpunk Red did too?
Uh Jesus credit Mirage. No, that's

851
00:50:46,599 --> 00:50:51,039
actually number one on my list.
My goal is actually to complete that before

852
00:50:51,079 --> 00:50:57,239
Shadows Sneaking. Yeah, I let
you sneaking, like months ago, you

853
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,000
still have it? Did I remember
Madison Irun for your birthday? Do you

854
00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:04,360
have a physical copy of that?
I'm gonna have to stang that for you

855
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,559
because you're not using it so and
I have one want to get back.

856
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,639
I'm gonna put it up. Actually, no, you're not. You're gonna

857
00:51:08,639 --> 00:51:10,880
poot up to look at a character
like, oh, that's cool. But

858
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,440
I've been wanting to that. That's
another again that doesn't drop that much.

859
00:51:14,519 --> 00:51:19,280
So I've been just because God loves
me. Sixty nine was asking for some

860
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,360
potential coverage of Phantom Liberty in our
Yeah. Well, I'm not gonna guarantee

861
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,880
that. This is more just like
a fuck replaces. Oh yeah, and

862
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,519
I need something to scratch like the
Blade Runner ish, so I just scratch

863
00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:35,000
it. Yea cool? Okay.
Next up was Paull out seventy six new

864
00:51:35,079 --> 00:51:38,039
update for that Skyline valley. They
said, so cool. First expansion to

865
00:51:38,079 --> 00:51:42,440
the map, which really confused me
because I know they've had like Pittsburgh and

866
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,039
other locations, but I'm guessing those
are like, you know, loading zones

867
00:51:45,039 --> 00:51:47,719
to separate areas. So maybe they
mean this is the first time, like

868
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,039
taking that Appalachia map and making it
bigger, So you know, that's cool.

869
00:51:52,039 --> 00:51:57,440
It's coming out June twelfth. The
most interesting thing to me here was

870
00:51:57,519 --> 00:52:00,480
not even something that's coming out in
this first update, but they said later

871
00:52:00,519 --> 00:52:02,119
on there I didn't the ability to
play as a goul, yeah, which

872
00:52:02,199 --> 00:52:07,320
is always something I've wantted and for, like for games that are such RPGs

873
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,239
and that you have such control over
who your character is and their backstory and

874
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:14,199
their move set and like radiations of
mechanic. I've always thought it's really crazy

875
00:52:14,199 --> 00:52:16,320
that you never actually have the chance
to play as a goul. So hopefully

876
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:22,239
it's more than just like a skin
you can put on and then actually changes

877
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,559
your mechanics in some way, and
that would actually be something that's pretty cool,

878
00:52:24,639 --> 00:52:28,440
especially you know, seventy six more
than the other follout games is very

879
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,559
much about like role playing who you
want to play as, So I think

880
00:52:30,559 --> 00:52:36,000
that's really cool. The other stuff, honestly, like I want to jump

881
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,519
in back to seventy six. But
for me, that's if I were to

882
00:52:37,519 --> 00:52:42,159
make a list of my priority games, that's fairly well on mind because like,

883
00:52:42,639 --> 00:52:44,760
you know, I did play it, I gave it a few hours,

884
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,360
but like I'd honestly rather go do
a replay through Fall at four,

885
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,239
even though there's all this crazy stuff
like I want to go check out Pittsburgh.

886
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,679
That sounds cool to me. Yeah, you know that update. I

887
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,519
don't know if this one does,
but maybe when the Google thing comes in,

888
00:52:54,639 --> 00:52:58,760
I'll I'll jump back in and try
being a Ghoul for a bit.

889
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:00,960
You can think the show for that
one. That's all say is that show

890
00:53:01,039 --> 00:53:05,760
is completely made that the Ghoul has
been like everybody wanting and stuff. So

891
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,440
it's sure that's a big part of
it. Like maybe that's why that's smart

892
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,400
data is so far out, is
they've yes didn't even have that in the

893
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,599
pipeline until the show came out.
Potentially, Yeah, I think it's smart.

894
00:53:14,639 --> 00:53:16,960
I will probably never ever get into
seventy six and I'll just wait for

895
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,880
a new Vegas or a Fault five
or I probably will. I want to

896
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,159
go back. That's on my list
as a new vague. Maybe we should

897
00:53:25,159 --> 00:53:30,239
do that in early like twenty twenty
four for a sidequest we have nothing,

898
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,760
just like I really like twenty four
twenty five. Well we're gonna travel back

899
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,440
in time? Oh yeah, but
no, we should all do like a

900
00:53:36,559 --> 00:53:40,920
top twenty fifteen of our backlog list
and a ranking of what the reasons why

901
00:53:42,159 --> 00:53:44,639
we're going to do this and pull
ourselves to a little bit, you know,

902
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,360
but oh ranking of the backlogs.
Think. Yeah, I'm saying,

903
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,719
like in a week where we have
no news, nothing to talk about,

904
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,719
like get us four together and like
Taylor Kirkland did like a side quest episode

905
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,960
where we did like a very loose
discussion on our back lab, we didn't

906
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,679
make a list that could be a
fun y'all four of us get together make

907
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,239
make our top ten. Hey wech
man be like, no, I actually

908
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,840
think you should put this game above
this Frex Y and Z, you know,

909
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,239
stuff like that Doom. It should
be higher on your list. You

910
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,760
would love Doom you know, so
mm hmmmm hmm. And I know,

911
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,599
Taylor, you just fucking hate Fallout, So it's happen to be an update

912
00:54:14,679 --> 00:54:17,920
for you, your elder scrolls guy. So, uh, okay, all

913
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,000
are me? Well, I assume
you don't have I'm assuming you're not going

914
00:54:23,039 --> 00:54:25,599
to play Fall with seventy six yet. But if you know, I am

915
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,880
not going to play. Is it
like a free game? Now? Is

916
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,320
Fall seventy six? It's not games
right, is it? Okay? There

917
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,280
you go. I don't know.
I mean there's a subscription service for it,

918
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,960
separate from game passes. You guys
have had to pay like eighty dollars

919
00:54:38,039 --> 00:54:44,360
for hate Oh I paid, Like, hey, we've all been there.

920
00:54:44,599 --> 00:54:46,679
Your dad was born because you paid
that eighty dollars. Yeah, yeah,

921
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,960
that's the only reason that Yeah,
that upates you got to go back.

922
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,639
The next up was I think the
I thing this is a world premiere for

923
00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:57,440
this game. It's hard to keep
track these days. For Clear Obscure Expedition

924
00:54:57,639 --> 00:55:00,400
thirty three, quite the mouthful of
title. It's coming out twenty twenty five.

925
00:55:01,159 --> 00:55:06,519
I thought this had just a really
really stellar art style. Just visually

926
00:55:06,599 --> 00:55:08,159
speaking, it was very impressive.
In the scale of things, the character

927
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,800
designs, but then even just down
to the little things like the UI elements

928
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,039
for the turn based combat looked really
cool with like how things are kind of

929
00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:19,760
integrated into the world, and I
don't know, it feels like that UI

930
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,239
is really integrated in a good way. So yeah, I think this game

931
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:27,840
looks really really cool. I don't
this one was. Yeah, it was

932
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,320
a game Pass title as well,
so I'll definitely be checking out jumping in

933
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:35,199
there it is. Yeah, so
it's going to PlayStation when it's on games

934
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,599
Pass, you got it? Yeah, PlayStation and okay past so there you

935
00:55:37,639 --> 00:55:40,320
go. Yeah, I'll hundred pcent
be jumping into this. I don't think

936
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:44,679
this is necessarily my cup of tea, but I'll definitely give it a shot

937
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,519
because of the because of the game
Pass angle of it. So yeah,

938
00:55:46,519 --> 00:55:50,639
I thought this is a really cool, nice surprise. Any thoughts from this

939
00:55:50,679 --> 00:55:53,039
one, you guys, I think
Jesus, I think of sort of big

940
00:55:53,079 --> 00:55:57,960
bug came in the house. I
think that it is in the same camp

941
00:55:58,039 --> 00:56:01,400
as you that I like. I
can like turn based, it just has

942
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:06,800
to be dependent on it. It
looks like a beautiful game, but also

943
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,519
didn't look like an art style world
that I was wanting to go into again.

944
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:14,760
Maybe it's almost that kind of anime
is very final fantasy type of which

945
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,239
fantasy I used to play a lot
of back in the day, but not

946
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,880
so much the new era stuff.
So if it's game passed, I could

947
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,559
see myself giving a try. I
will mention that like an artists court,

948
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:27,239
and it just felt like my timeline. Overall. This was like, if

949
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,480
not the game, the show.
Like in the top three, I felt

950
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,039
like this had a really good showing. People were really excited for this one,

951
00:56:31,119 --> 00:56:35,280
So that's really good momentum because I
feel like that can happen a lot

952
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,119
where we see so many games world
premiere in their DA right and it is

953
00:56:38,159 --> 00:56:43,320
first impression. So I think for
the audience that had a great impression.

954
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,639
And I was more like, Okay, this this looks good. Maybe not

955
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:51,159
for me, but I think it
looks like a beautiful game. And yeah,

956
00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:53,800
we'll see very very different type of
style some of these enemies, and

957
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:59,400
I know turn bases like it's in
games, but I don't know if it's

958
00:56:59,519 --> 00:57:04,519
anything this big scale as of recently. So yeah, I uh think they

959
00:57:04,559 --> 00:57:07,960
did had a good showing. Mm
hmmm, Taylor, any thoughts on that

960
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,679
one. Okay, Soath the Midnight
was next up, and I was surprised

961
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:15,599
to see you here because I think
the I can't remember it was Game Warts

962
00:57:15,679 --> 00:57:17,360
or if it was the Xbox showcase
last year where which was the reveal of

963
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,480
this game, but yeah, I
didn't expect to see it this soon,

964
00:57:21,679 --> 00:57:23,880
but we actually got like a big
gameplay chunk here where it wasn't just like

965
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,079
quick clips but instead just showed like, here's what a you know, five

966
00:57:28,159 --> 00:57:30,239
minute segment of the game is going
to look like it's coming out next year.

967
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:37,079
The trailer last year had like a
very interesting art style with the kind

968
00:57:37,119 --> 00:57:40,760
of intentionally lower frame rate of the
movements and kind of cell shaded look,

969
00:57:42,519 --> 00:57:45,280
but it pops very well. And
so to see that frame rate in action

970
00:57:45,519 --> 00:57:50,360
I thought looked really really cool,
like the character's run animation. I was

971
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,440
just mesmerized by the entire time.
I think it looks so interesting. The

972
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:58,400
game seems like pretty linear, but
it seems like there you know, exploration

973
00:57:59,559 --> 00:58:02,119
colmbat, maybe some puzzle solving,
some parkour, a little bit of everything

974
00:58:02,199 --> 00:58:06,800
in that sort of sense. I
like the music that was in Yours kind

975
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,440
of something different. I like the
setting and everything, the creatures that you're

976
00:58:09,519 --> 00:58:12,760
riding on like this. This was
like a home run for me. I

977
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,320
think this game looks so interesting and
so unique. And yeah, another game

978
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,760
pass one, so I'll definitely be
jumping into this, And yeah, I

979
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,679
think it's pretty high on my anticipated
list. I just think it looks so

980
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:27,679
cool and different. Day there are
You're going to the South. No,

981
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,280
No, I'm with Dylan where this
was. I don't know where it would

982
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,920
be on the backlog in most plays, I don't think it. I'm not

983
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,280
as anticipated as Dylan was, but
I am definitely going to be trying this

984
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,840
game out and playing it. I
really like I don't remember it from last

985
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:45,360
year because obviously there's always a lot
of these showcase it was just okay,

986
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,239
But No, I really liked everything
I was seeing here. I really liked

987
00:58:49,239 --> 00:58:52,000
the vibe. I liked that art
style. I don't think it's going to

988
00:58:52,079 --> 00:58:53,840
reinvent the Wheel, but I think
it's going to be a really cool game

989
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:58,800
that because that art style will stand
out, and some fun enemy types.

990
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:00,400
I like some of the southern type
of vibes going on. Honestly, something

991
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:04,039
midnight, But yeah, this was
when it started, I was like,

992
00:59:04,079 --> 00:59:07,119
okay, because it almost has like
a similar art stut to like when of

993
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:08,199
those Life is Strange games. I'm
like, okay, it's probably one of

994
00:59:08,239 --> 00:59:12,679
these things, but the transitions and
no, I will definitely check this out.

995
00:59:12,719 --> 00:59:15,079
Maybe as more time goes on it
will climb up there. So I

996
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:17,519
don't even know if it's in like
a I'll say it's like maybe in a

997
00:59:17,599 --> 00:59:22,880
top twenty, but like, uh
yeah, so but because there's a lot

998
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:24,760
of games like Kotar that are probably
never happening, so I've just removed them

999
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,199
out of the top twenty. So
yeah, I thought this was a really

1000
00:59:28,239 --> 00:59:30,199
good showing and I will be.
I will be downloading this whenever drops because

1001
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:34,760
I think this was just a just
date it for next year, so no

1002
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,559
official date, but yeah, great
showing. I liked it. Yeah,

1003
00:59:37,679 --> 00:59:42,760
there were a few updates for things. World of Warcraft has a new Thing

1004
00:59:43,119 --> 00:59:46,119
update coming out see Thieves. Of
course. I was season thirteen for that.

1005
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,960
That's crazy to me when they said
that, it's like, man,

1006
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:54,960
I feel old again. I cannot
describe you angry. I was to see

1007
00:59:55,280 --> 01:00:00,880
a Pat Benatar song played alongside Elder
Scrolls online. Oh yeah, that was

1008
01:00:00,079 --> 01:00:06,440
just a mix of tones. Yeah, you know, I just I don't

1009
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,960
even need to get into it,
but it bothered me greatly. Next up

1010
01:00:09,119 --> 01:00:15,519
MGS Snake MS three Snake Eater.
Yes, so showing off the kind of

1011
01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:17,840
remake here. Of course, this
is not an Xbox exclusive and it's not

1012
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,079
even on game path it thinks it
is. That's that I saw so many

1013
01:00:22,159 --> 01:00:24,920
and like the Xbox is winning this
and it was like all these Xbox and

1014
01:00:25,039 --> 01:00:28,840
this metal gear. It's like,
no, this is not like you said,

1015
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,079
it's I'm games pass, you know, yeah, yeah it's not.

1016
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:35,639
But I think it's cool that it
was shown here. From Xbox's perspective.

1017
01:00:35,639 --> 01:00:39,920
I think it's a good thing,
even just like I've always assumed those games

1018
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,960
are like, you know, PlayStation
exclusives. But then I think we were

1019
01:00:44,039 --> 01:00:45,960
talking recently and like, ohya,
MGS five is like on Xbox and everyone

1020
01:00:46,199 --> 01:00:49,559
I didn't even didn't even realize that
kind of thing. So I think this

1021
01:00:49,679 --> 01:00:52,320
is like important for them to do, and it's a cool showing. And

1022
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,440
it was like a really great trailer
and I even watching like a trailer or

1023
01:00:55,519 --> 01:01:00,519
like some gameplay footage of the original
game, and like seeing certain that are

1024
01:01:00,559 --> 01:01:02,400
yeah, one to one remakes with
him pulling up the knife was really cool.

1025
01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:07,800
So I got the Volume one collection
for MGS and I've been talking about

1026
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,280
that on side quest, and so
next up for me is Snake here,

1027
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,760
And now I'm wondering like, oh, maybe I should wait for the remake,

1028
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,960
or maybe I will play that and
then play the remake and kind of

1029
01:01:15,239 --> 01:01:19,079
compare and contrast. They seem pretty
close. But I'm very excited to jump

1030
01:01:19,119 --> 01:01:21,480
into that because yeah, MS two
didn't really do it for me, but

1031
01:01:21,559 --> 01:01:25,039
this seems like a more of a
traditional third person game, whereas MGS two

1032
01:01:25,079 --> 01:01:29,440
still is the fixed camera, which
I just hate fixed camera in games,

1033
01:01:29,519 --> 01:01:31,440
like when I've been going back to
old Resident Evils or yeah, playing it

1034
01:01:31,639 --> 01:01:35,760
just one and two, Like,
I really hate that kind of camera perspective.

1035
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,199
So this one being yeah, full
third person is really exciting for me.

1036
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,719
So obviously this is like a you
know, twenty year old game,

1037
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,159
but I think this this remake looks
very solid. It's not like Resident Evil

1038
01:01:45,239 --> 01:01:49,400
remake in terms of visual quality,
but I still think it looks really solid.

1039
01:01:49,559 --> 01:01:52,360
So yeah, I don't know if
I think I'm going to play that,

1040
01:01:52,719 --> 01:01:54,800
you know, Volume one, like
the OG version that I have there

1041
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:59,320
before I check this out. But
this is cool, great showing. It's

1042
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:00,679
fun to see it here was a
surprise. I thought anywhere is going to

1043
01:02:00,679 --> 01:02:04,519
be at Summer Game Fest or at
the State of Play or something. So

1044
01:02:04,599 --> 01:02:07,480
it's cool to see. Yeah,
it's great to see. I'm obviously a

1045
01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:09,159
big fan of mail Gear. I'm
not like a diehard in the sense that

1046
01:02:09,239 --> 01:02:13,559
I've when I played those games.
I've not replayed them. I played them

1047
01:02:13,559 --> 01:02:15,960
when I was young, and I'm
not the diehard that is comparing the trailer

1048
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,760
to the original game and being like
this is awful. Look at the lighting

1049
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,320
and the color against not which I
get it. I get because it is

1050
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,719
that idea of like the fidelity is
really high. But some people are mad

1051
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:30,199
that it's not capturing the same type
of tone and feel as that original game,

1052
01:02:30,239 --> 01:02:31,199
which I get. But I guess
just because I'm so young, it

1053
01:02:31,239 --> 01:02:36,719
doesn't have that impact on me this
one. And same thing with the date.

1054
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,519
Even there's like game spot today post
seventeenth that's up in there, we

1055
01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:42,400
don't know there was not even a
year for this. So this one,

1056
01:02:42,559 --> 01:02:45,320
all this legitimately depends on because if
it's a great game, I'm there as

1057
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,960
a day one, a Melgear guy, so that's happening. It depends on

1058
01:02:50,039 --> 01:02:52,679
the reviews though for me, because
it's without Kajima and the last game that

1059
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,719
they did, Mailgear, it was
a very different of a game, but

1060
01:02:54,800 --> 01:03:00,719
it was still very poor that multiplayer
whatever one they did, So I need

1061
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,360
to wait and see, but I
love that it is. I think this

1062
01:03:02,519 --> 01:03:06,880
is the right move to go back
to the strip down because Middle Gear five

1063
01:03:07,599 --> 01:03:09,519
it gets so big and so crazy, and even the things you have to

1064
01:03:09,599 --> 01:03:13,639
do in the game, not just
a combat, but just building little armies

1065
01:03:13,679 --> 01:03:16,320
and kidnapping people and you have your
little bases and you're trying to upgrade their

1066
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:21,039
level grade and everything. I think
it's great to have this back to kind

1067
01:03:21,079 --> 01:03:23,719
of almost bare bones of its you
know, naked snake on a mission,

1068
01:03:24,239 --> 01:03:29,519
you know, espionage. So in
theory, this should be great, and

1069
01:03:29,599 --> 01:03:31,800
this is easily like a top twenty
game for me, But this is definitely

1070
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,880
a I need to wait because I
could see a lot of six to sevens

1071
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,519
out of ten, and I think
I will buy this game at some point,

1072
01:03:37,559 --> 01:03:40,480
but if it's on the lower scale
scale as far as reviews, I

1073
01:03:40,599 --> 01:03:43,719
will wait on that. But if
it's a hey, they really hit a

1074
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:45,719
home run on this. This is
a day one Travis. I've already seen

1075
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:51,960
those volume the Volume one collection go
like really deep sales. Oh yeah,

1076
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,239
so I yeah, I think that
you're pretty safe that the same thing will

1077
01:03:54,239 --> 01:03:58,199
happen here. It seems like a
yeah phone on anything to do there?

1078
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,400
So yeah, yep, Taylor,
any thoughts on that one? This is

1079
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,920
another one that I you know,
I I share and appreciate Rubin's love and

1080
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,320
support for I remember going over to
his place and he was just pumping out

1081
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:16,840
the mail, your solid phantom pain, showing that off and but you could

1082
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:21,039
support yourself, you could be I
feel like this is there's some I don't

1083
01:04:21,039 --> 01:04:23,800
know, it's a little slow,
so maybe not, but I feel like

1084
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,239
you'd like like the stories and stuff. And I have the physical cart for

1085
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,000
the Volume one collection, so if
you want to check out those old games,

1086
01:04:30,079 --> 01:04:32,280
I I can lend that here.
You gotta give me Cyberpunk first,

1087
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,039
though. I gotta get through Cyberpunk. Got through star Field. Oh you

1088
01:04:35,039 --> 01:04:41,280
don't get through Cyberpunk? Like did
Mason never play those Mario games? I

1089
01:04:41,679 --> 01:04:45,199
borrowed the Mario trilogy, did she? I'm gonna ask her when you're not

1090
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,079
around. Tim made this big deal, like, ye know, yeah,

1091
01:04:47,519 --> 01:04:49,760
you gotta get back Tim. Mass
wants to play. Mass wants to play.

1092
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,599
I still need a back when they
play it. But you can definitely

1093
01:04:53,639 --> 01:04:56,159
borrow it again. But you never
even did you play it even I don't

1094
01:04:56,199 --> 01:04:58,079
think you ever played them. I
want to, but you put them on

1095
01:04:58,159 --> 01:05:00,039
such a time constrainer. I don't
think. I don't have it for a

1096
01:05:00,199 --> 01:05:03,679
year. That's the biggest baloney year
I have for a year. No,

1097
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:10,159
let's move on continue. Next up, there's two games, Flint Locked the

1098
01:05:10,159 --> 01:05:12,400
Siege of Dollal, which we've seen
a few times. Just kind of a

1099
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,719
reminder, but that one. It's
another another game past title looks cool.

1100
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,519
Age of Mythology retold. This is
a new announcement. I don't I can't

1101
01:05:19,519 --> 01:05:23,559
tell this is a remake or if
it is a kind of just like a

1102
01:05:23,679 --> 01:05:28,400
new version of whatever is going on
here. I'm not knowledgeable in age parts

1103
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,320
of Age of Mythology, But yeah, Taylor, you're gonna be playing this

1104
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:34,519
one. I used to play Age
of Mythology, the original back in the

1105
01:05:34,599 --> 01:05:41,360
day. I remember in elementary school
getting into the computer lab and playing those

1106
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,079
games online, like are not online, but playing them on the computer.

1107
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,719
They were peaked back then, those
strategy games, and I haven't played one

1108
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,800
since, but this is kind of
enticing, and i'd be kind of it,

1109
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,320
like scratched that edge a little bit, you know, a little nostalgia.

1110
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:58,079
So it looks really fun. I
might download it on my computer and

1111
01:05:58,199 --> 01:06:01,079
check it out. Next up was
Perfect Dark, which I was kind of

1112
01:06:01,119 --> 01:06:05,679
surprised to see. There's been a
lot of un scenes chatter on this one

1113
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,639
of oh it's in development, Hell, it's not going well. They need

1114
01:06:09,679 --> 01:06:13,079
support studios DA, DA DA,
and then other people like you know,

1115
01:06:13,639 --> 01:06:15,079
disproving that and saying, oh,
I know it's actually doing pretty well.

1116
01:06:15,119 --> 01:06:17,639
And so I didn't. I didn't
really expect to see here. I thought

1117
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,679
another year rotation, maybe then there'll
be time. So I'm surprised to see

1118
01:06:21,679 --> 01:06:26,280
it. Didn't have a date with
it, So who knows how far along

1119
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,440
it is, But you know,
it's there was game playing here of course,

1120
01:06:29,559 --> 01:06:32,039
like it's it's you know, doctored
gameplay. It's maybe not like one

1121
01:06:32,079 --> 01:06:34,440
to one ratio, but I think
it at least shows you what it's going

1122
01:06:34,519 --> 01:06:38,800
to be. Like. Perfect Dark
is the one that I've played a couple

1123
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,599
of these games back in the day, but it's like I only ever played

1124
01:06:40,599 --> 01:06:44,599
the multiplayer and just screwed around in
some like you know, arena type combat

1125
01:06:44,639 --> 01:06:46,039
from what I remember, So I
don't really know much about the story or

1126
01:06:46,079 --> 01:06:51,039
the characters here, but I thought
this looked amazing visually. I really like

1127
01:06:51,119 --> 01:06:54,880
the density of the city that you're
going around. At first it was giving

1128
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,239
me like Dune vibes, so I'm
like totally into that, and then the

1129
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,880
parkour looked fun. I think the
calm looked okay, so so, but

1130
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,719
I liked the tech angle of it. So I don't know I had.

1131
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:09,239
I guess I didn't really know what
to expect coming into this, but I

1132
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,400
was pretty impressed. I think this
looks pretty cool, and it probably is

1133
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,639
still a couple of years away,
so not getting my hopes up necessarily yet,

1134
01:07:15,679 --> 01:07:17,599
but cool. Nice job to come
out of here. Like I think

1135
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,519
to this point, we've only got
like the title dropped for it. I

1136
01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:23,880
don't think we've ever seen anything for
it, so I think they did a

1137
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,400
good job of putting there for the
best foot forward on showing this one off.

1138
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,719
I was saying, boat, as
you've never played Perfect Dark. I

1139
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:34,280
really had zero interest when they announced
a couple of years ago, like cool,

1140
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,480
it just felt like Xbox didn't have
IP so it's like, oh we

1141
01:07:38,519 --> 01:07:40,199
got this, like look at it, take a look at this, and

1142
01:07:40,599 --> 01:07:43,760
we've heard all those reports and I
don't think it was a gameplay where it's

1143
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:45,400
like, man, this looks like
this big game year, but way better

1144
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:49,039
than I was expecting. Even just
the story beats, just the vibe of

1145
01:07:49,079 --> 01:07:53,280
the game. I just love,
like I don't know what she is,

1146
01:07:53,719 --> 01:07:56,679
some assassin. It just felt like
a very like space cop type of way.

1147
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,480
It kind of again Tomba Blader.
It felt like if you were a

1148
01:07:59,719 --> 01:08:02,199
rep, can't like try you were
bladed around trying to get like a replicant.

1149
01:08:02,239 --> 01:08:05,559
Like like you said, some of
the gameplay looked all right, but

1150
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:10,039
it was like a slice. We'll
see, but no, this is one

1151
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:14,000
that now it's on the radar and
not on the top twenty of course,

1152
01:08:14,079 --> 01:08:16,199
but and same thing. It was
not in games Pass. I would not

1153
01:08:16,359 --> 01:08:18,840
have it on the radar, but
because it will be, I'm assuming on

1154
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:24,159
games Pass. Yeah, I it
left a good impressure on me. So

1155
01:08:24,239 --> 01:08:26,439
now I'll have to wait and see
the follow ups and see if we can

1156
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,279
keep that momentum. But I was
liking the vibe the gameplay I did see,

1157
01:08:30,279 --> 01:08:32,640
even though it was like revolutionary,
but I liked the vibe of the

1158
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,119
story and the kind of the motives
that's going on. So yeah, I

1159
01:08:36,319 --> 01:08:40,840
just, uh, this one took
me by surprise because I thought the whole

1160
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,600
way through I wasn't going to give
a shit about Perfect Dark and I do

1161
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,359
know, so Taylor, do you
give a shit about Perfect or I give

1162
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:51,119
a little shit. I mean,
I've never played them before, but this

1163
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:56,399
this was definitely interesting. I liked
what I was seeing and I'm curious to

1164
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,680
kind of again, it's on games
Pass, it's like doing so it's a

1165
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:04,680
it's the list sounds good. DLC
four Diablo four is coming out later this

1166
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:09,039
year. From what I could tell
these The Diable four, of course is

1167
01:09:09,079 --> 01:09:12,039
on game Pass, but I don't
think the DLC is going to be included

1168
01:09:12,119 --> 01:09:14,520
that service. You have to pay
extra for that from what I can tell.

1169
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:19,000
So just an FYI on that.
After that was Fables is coming out

1170
01:09:19,039 --> 01:09:23,600
next year apparently, which another thing
that surprised me because Fable is another one

1171
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:27,119
that we've heard. Yeah, maybe
mixed rumblings of how it's doing behind the

1172
01:09:27,199 --> 01:09:30,359
scenes, but I was finally glad
to see some more here in terms of

1173
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,520
actually seeing some gameplay once again,
look like very doctored gameplay hard and tell

1174
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:39,560
it yeah, But I don't know, I'm I'm a little mixed on it.

1175
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,600
I feel like, you know,
that that original fable, Like I've

1176
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,920
played a little bit of two and
three, but it's like I'm nostalgic for

1177
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,720
that first game and that is and
I love it, It's one of my

1178
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,640
favorite games of all time, but
it's like I never even finish the game.

1179
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:53,960
It's like it very much exists in
like this very narrow pocketive time for

1180
01:09:54,079 --> 01:09:56,520
me, and I do want to
do a retro of it before this new

1181
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,880
one comes out, just just the
first game, not going through the whole

1182
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,439
series again. But it's weird like
this, this has a very different tone

1183
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,960
and vibe to me, like you
know it is. It is jokey,

1184
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:09,960
it doesn't take itself too seriously,
but there's still a distinctly different tone of

1185
01:10:10,159 --> 01:10:13,720
what we saw here from what I
expect. And even like that very first

1186
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,439
showing, we got a fable with
the teas of like the frog eating the

1187
01:10:17,119 --> 01:10:21,000
Fairy like that to me felt very
fitting. But something about the tone the

1188
01:10:21,119 --> 01:10:25,840
characters, the way they're talking here, it's like it's different than the Fable

1189
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:29,520
that I'm used to. And also
like the art style the original game is,

1190
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,840
like it's very like boxy and clunky, and like armor is really big,

1191
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:35,960
and like buildings are very exaggerated.
It's very cartoony, and I think

1192
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,399
the games, like as Fable progressed, it kind of got away from that,

1193
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,640
And so this also has that kind
of vibe to it where it's not

1194
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,920
really it doesn't really feel like that
original game that I, you know,

1195
01:10:45,039 --> 01:10:48,520
no one loves so much I'm nostalgic
for, so I guess I'm a little

1196
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,760
on the fence. Don't get I'm
still gonna play the hell out of this

1197
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,159
game. Yeah, I love fantasy
and I love the idea of it,

1198
01:10:54,359 --> 01:10:58,079
and I like the look of the
town that we're seeing here. But yeah,

1199
01:10:58,079 --> 01:11:00,920
I guess I'm just I would be
surprised if this was as special to

1200
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,439
me as that original game is.
But that's just dealing with twenty years of

1201
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,239
nostalgia, So it's hard to beat
that, right, Could this be?

1202
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:10,439
It's like twenty eighteen got a war
moment though, you know where it is

1203
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:14,239
evolving and it is it has enough
of the oldest there, but it's like

1204
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,159
you feel that, Okay, it's
not that old game, original game I

1205
01:11:16,199 --> 01:11:20,600
played, but it's it's evolved to
something a bit more, you know,

1206
01:11:21,119 --> 01:11:25,000
not grown up or say, but
just you know, even that comparison of

1207
01:11:25,199 --> 01:11:28,680
just taking some stuff that you love
but then also recoding it to you.

1208
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:30,000
Okay, here's a new generation of
field. Because you're also got to get

1209
01:11:30,199 --> 01:11:33,680
people like myself never touched a Fable
game in my life. It's a blind

1210
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,159
spot for me. So and I
feel like that was like we've got a

1211
01:11:36,199 --> 01:11:39,960
war. A lot of people like
hadn't played some of those and jumped on

1212
01:11:40,119 --> 01:11:42,920
that. So hope maybe it could
be that, you know, yeah,

1213
01:11:43,039 --> 01:11:45,880
I think there's definitely an opportunity for
that. I mean, you know,

1214
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,560
one unknown variable here is at its
playground games making this. You know,

1215
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:54,520
people have made FOURSA for one hundred
years, so it's like, I don't

1216
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,479
know, this is definitely another wheelhouse. It's been done before, so I'm

1217
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,359
okay, could this be their horizon
you know that's made those kills on games?

1218
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,840
And then the pair that comes up, Yeah, I mean, I

1219
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,720
think the reboot angle of it does
make a lot of sense, because that's

1220
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,039
probably what I need from the series, because like, yeah, not as

1221
01:12:12,079 --> 01:12:15,199
intrigued by what they did with the
sequel games, and so I think it's

1222
01:12:15,399 --> 01:12:18,039
probably good to yeah, do kind
of a soft reboot whatever you want to

1223
01:12:18,039 --> 01:12:21,399
call this here. So yeah,
I don't I'm super receptive of this.

1224
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:26,600
I'm gonna be checking out day one. I'm excited for it. I don't

1225
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,720
know what I needed to see,
but I guess there's there's still a lot

1226
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:31,439
of opportunity for me to get like
blown away with some other trade. Like

1227
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:36,159
I guarantee that next January for the
developer direct, Fable's probably gonna be one

1228
01:12:36,199 --> 01:12:40,039
of those games. So to get
like a fifteen to twenty minute deep dive

1229
01:12:40,159 --> 01:12:43,520
on it, see gameplay, see
what the RPG elements are looking like,

1230
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,560
see more of the combat. Like
I think that will be really the selling

1231
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,279
point for me of like, Okay, where is this on like that Tier

1232
01:12:49,399 --> 01:12:53,159
one hype level or is it just
like yeah, it's game pass. I'll

1233
01:12:53,239 --> 01:12:55,600
check it out as I do with
like a lot of these other games,

1234
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,720
but yeah, really really excited to
see more of it when we do get

1235
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:05,119
more. Could this be there sneaking
No, I'm joking. I so this

1236
01:13:05,239 --> 01:13:09,600
one I just need to see more. The games pass is always because ye

1237
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,840
I'll scratch it. Never played a
Fable. I've always heard the legend of

1238
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,600
it, but I've never played it. So yeah, games past easy,

1239
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:16,880
I can download play for five hours. But like, okay, this isn't

1240
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,720
for me, but for me,
I think there was a lot of nostalgia

1241
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,880
goggles on with this one because I
heard, oh, great showing for Fabily

1242
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,479
yet da da da, and I
just felt like you like, to me,

1243
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,920
the Perfect Dark showed way more gameplay
as far as like a vibe of

1244
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,279
what this is, this was just
a lot of a character holding and swort

1245
01:13:32,279 --> 01:13:35,479
of walking up to things and maybe
one slash. There's one jump. To

1246
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:40,000
me, it's just like this is
nowhere near enough for me to think this

1247
01:13:40,159 --> 01:13:44,399
is a looking gray and a should
be excited for with like you said,

1248
01:13:44,399 --> 01:13:46,880
a different company fucking thumbs up for
doing this seven games. So it's like,

1249
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:50,119
I still I need to see,
like you said at January one,

1250
01:13:50,319 --> 01:13:55,560
twenty five thirty minutes of something a
real showcase on this. So I like

1251
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:59,439
the cinematic and I liked actually something. It felt like, you know,

1252
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,079
like a not as comedic Shrek at
times, like, which is a weird

1253
01:14:02,119 --> 01:14:05,399
thing to say, but I do
like Shrek. So this felt less fairy

1254
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,439
tale than the last two showings,
which yeah, the first like or the

1255
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,880
second one was a very Jack and
the bean Stock type nick and the first

1256
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:17,079
one or a yeah teaser, but
the frog scene, right, So I'm

1257
01:14:17,279 --> 01:14:19,960
intrigued. But yeah, I think
lots of people about that. Maybe it's

1258
01:14:20,039 --> 01:14:23,239
just that he talked up for me. So when I finally saw because I

1259
01:14:23,239 --> 01:14:24,760
didnt get to watch the that,
I'm like, this is it for it?

1260
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,520
It's still to me a big question
mark this game, So I I

1261
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:32,119
still that's I'm gonna wait and see
on this one of you, Taylor.

1262
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,960
I mean, my experience would be
just fable too. That's the only one

1263
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,079
that I've played, and even then
I didn't play a lot of it.

1264
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:45,800
Uh so I don't have I don't
have a huge nostalgic connection to this franchise.

1265
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,079
But it's on games Pass and I
am I'm curious because I like the

1266
01:14:48,159 --> 01:14:51,560
humor. I like what I've seen
just with so far. It's it's it's

1267
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,119
funny. I remember all the hype
with Fable three at the time. But

1268
01:14:57,199 --> 01:14:59,640
yeah, I'm not rushing day one
to play, this is what I'm saying,

1269
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:03,039
but I I'm interested to try it
out. Okay, gotcha. Next

1270
01:15:03,199 --> 01:15:08,439
up was frag Punk because it's coming
twenty twenty five. This is a free

1271
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:13,920
to play five to five hero shooter
type game, with the gimmick being that

1272
01:15:14,039 --> 01:15:16,840
you have these cards and you crush
these cards in your hands and that changes

1273
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,199
the stats of the map or the
characters, like one of them is you

1274
01:15:20,199 --> 01:15:24,439
could turn the opponents into having big
head modes. You can get easier head

1275
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,680
shots, or you can like get
the growth going on. So like all

1276
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,359
this this plant life grows to the
map and adds new places you can hide,

1277
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,279
or you can flip the gravity upon
its head like that scene from Inception.

1278
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,439
So I love the concept. I
think it seems really fun and cool.

1279
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:40,399
It's free to play, so I'll
jump in there and check it out.

1280
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,239
Will I stick with it? Probably
not. It seems kind of gimmicky,

1281
01:15:43,359 --> 01:15:45,479
but hopefully I have a great weekend, you know, jumping into this

1282
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:49,319
thing, or maybe even a few
weeks. Who knows. I doubt either.

1283
01:15:49,359 --> 01:15:51,760
You guys are gonna be checking this
one out so I won't be there

1284
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:57,159
on that week and stressful. I
worry about omni direction. It's changing the

1285
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,359
dynamics of this sprint backwards. You
don't have kind to miss with, mess

1286
01:16:00,399 --> 01:16:04,760
with flip upside down, big heads, Oh my god. Next up is

1287
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:09,399
a game called Winter Burrow, which
is interesting because I feel like, you

1288
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,119
know, for a few years there, maybe a two or three year stretch,

1289
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:15,359
Xbox was like really kneeling into showing
off a lot of like indie games

1290
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,199
at their conferences, and nowadays they
just gulfed up so much Triple A studios

1291
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:21,359
and stuff that like it seems like
they're like too big for that kind of

1292
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,760
thing. They're not showing that sort
of stuff anymore. This was like the

1293
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:30,560
one very indie looking thing that they
had here where it's like cute but like

1294
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,640
maybe sort of darker game where you're
playing as this little mouse in like this

1295
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:38,840
cold winter environment. You're going back
to your little like family home, trying

1296
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:42,159
to find your aunt, trying to
rebuild this world. It looks cute and

1297
01:16:42,199 --> 01:16:44,920
wholesome, but also potentially a little
dark. I'm into this. I'm gonna

1298
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,119
be playing this with MUDs. I
think this is a cool, interesting game.

1299
01:16:47,199 --> 01:16:49,000
I like the art style, like
what they have going on here,

1300
01:16:49,199 --> 01:16:53,439
So I'll be checking that one out. What's coming out next year? Another

1301
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:59,880
game Pass title after that was Mixtape, which has a very Life Is Strange

1302
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,680
esque feel to it, which is
a very much a coming of age story,

1303
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:06,720
which has not a common genre in
video games. But even like this

1304
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:13,039
trailer had a very movie like announcer
to it talking about you know, like

1305
01:17:13,159 --> 01:17:16,359
this summer play, this you know, coming of age tale about finding your

1306
01:17:16,399 --> 01:17:20,760
way like that, it had that
vibe to it. I really that has

1307
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:24,680
a very similar like kind of frame
rate thing that South of Midnight has,

1308
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:28,920
which is interesting. It's all about
the soundtrack too, and just like I

1309
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,479
don't know, a very kind of
trippy game of you know, flying in

1310
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:35,119
cars or just like floating through the
air with your friends. I think it

1311
01:17:35,159 --> 01:17:40,319
looks really cool, unique, something
different. I'll definitely be jumping into this

1312
01:17:40,319 --> 01:17:43,560
one as well. I think it
looks really interesting. Yeah. I like

1313
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,039
for some reason, that and Life
is Strange back to back. It was

1314
01:17:46,159 --> 01:17:48,760
like good showings for me, so
I was like, oh, maybe I

1315
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:50,880
need to Yeah, normally I don't
care much for Life is Strange. It

1316
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:53,920
doesn't do it for me. But
yeah, double exposure to the new one

1317
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,399
here. I thought it looked cool
too. It did, yeah, so

1318
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,800
I was like, do I need
to now put that on like a you

1319
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:01,319
know, back log list, so
we'll see. But even mixtape, I

1320
01:18:02,039 --> 01:18:05,039
I was really digging the trailer,
so they're they're away and see I think

1321
01:18:05,039 --> 01:18:09,119
those past so you can always jump. Yeah, so I might. I

1322
01:18:09,199 --> 01:18:12,399
might take a gander on those because
those aren't probably long games either. So

1323
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,119
I liked everything about that vibe in
the way of music connecting you and through

1324
01:18:15,199 --> 01:18:19,880
time, and yeah, I I
I yeap digging what I usually just kind

1325
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:26,720
of pass over in the conferences.
So yeap. Flight Simulator twenty twenty four

1326
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:31,039
is coming out. There you go, Indiana Jones in the Great Circle still

1327
01:18:31,079 --> 01:18:36,000
coming out this year. No thoughtsome
tailor flight Simulator. Don't you want to

1328
01:18:36,359 --> 01:18:40,720
here to actually try it? I
I love seeing the different Taylor cut me

1329
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:45,399
off if I'm not, if I'm
not growing to you, it's just so

1330
01:18:45,319 --> 01:18:49,359
asleep again, I get the I
get that that's stress because yeah, like

1331
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,479
if I'm flying these big passer planes
and I pass out, like that's not

1332
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:58,319
going to be good for anybody.
But I think it looks cool the things

1333
01:18:58,319 --> 01:19:01,079
that they got in here because you're
doing and like agricultural work, you're da

1334
01:19:02,039 --> 01:19:06,119
Yeah, you're savings. There's lots
of cool different things in here that I'm

1335
01:19:06,279 --> 01:19:11,640
I'm eager to try out. Uh
I. I just when I played the

1336
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,159
last one I played, it just
gets so overwhelming because you go into that

1337
01:19:14,239 --> 01:19:15,159
cockpit. It's like, I have
no fucking idea what I'm doing. I'm

1338
01:19:15,159 --> 01:19:17,640
flipping the switches and all of a
sudden, I'm flipped over in the fucking

1339
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,960
run. So but I want to
learn. And they've done some cool things.

1340
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,840
They did at Dune at DLC where
you fly what's the name of the

1341
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:31,000
ship Orthoicopters or something like that.
Yeah, they did that, which is

1342
01:19:31,039 --> 01:19:33,880
pretty cool. And then they of
course they did the one of the Halo

1343
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:38,239
ships too, I think it was
the Pelican. Uh So they've done some

1344
01:19:38,319 --> 01:19:41,520
cool crossovers. But I'm excited to
try this. I think there's some cool

1345
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:45,479
things in there, and uh I'm
excited to see if this is like the

1346
01:19:45,159 --> 01:19:48,399
actual like our Google Maps that you
can connect with, or if it's more

1347
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,399
like their own world that they've built, because the last one with Google Maps,

1348
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,760
I think because people are meaning on
there, like this game has the

1349
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,840
whole fucking world and there's one hundred
gigabytes. We'll call duty is going to

1350
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:04,479
be three hunder gigabytes, So there
you go. Yeah, yeah, Indiana

1351
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,399
Jones. A Great Circle, as
I was saying, it's still coming out

1352
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:11,680
this year apparently, but we don't
have a date on it. This showing

1353
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,920
of it did have some more like
this is it real type stuff, but

1354
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:20,520
it was more about showing kind of
one extended scene in the Himalayas. Taylor,

1355
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:26,039
what did you think of the Great
Circle here? Uh? I liked

1356
01:20:26,119 --> 01:20:29,840
that, and I thought being in
the snow environment too and all that was

1357
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,239
really cool. I don't think we've
been in to the snow in the movies,

1358
01:20:32,319 --> 01:20:39,319
have we. It's just been like
desert and Paul Himalayas, I guess

1359
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,319
so he was. It wasn't necessarily
it was more or less in the in

1360
01:20:42,399 --> 01:20:44,560
the bar, right, we didn't
really get a lot of snow snow,

1361
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,119
But you're totally right though there was. There wasn't a Paul if we're one

1362
01:20:47,119 --> 01:20:51,000
of Himalayas man just sneaky yetty in
there. I mean, this is Ina

1363
01:20:51,119 --> 01:20:56,199
Jones, why not let's make it
happen after everything else that we've seen.

1364
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:01,199
But it got me pumped, It
got me excited, and I'm I'm I'm

1365
01:21:01,399 --> 01:21:06,640
still on the that prehensive fence about
being in first person. I feel like

1366
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,880
I've I've subscribed to the third person
concept. It would have been better,

1367
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,359
but I'm gonna wait. I'm hold
my breath. It's Indiana Jones, So

1368
01:21:14,399 --> 01:21:17,199
I'm excited to get in there and
experience with what they've got. M Yeah,

1369
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:24,039
I uh, I was. I
was pretty unimpressed with what they showed

1370
01:21:24,079 --> 01:21:29,039
here. I thought the Himalaite Himalayas
scene, the humor, the character stuff

1371
01:21:29,159 --> 01:21:30,560
wasn't really work for me. I
didn't hate it, but I was just

1372
01:21:31,319 --> 01:21:34,319
I think, ultimately like a bit
apathetic towards the whole thing. I just

1373
01:21:34,319 --> 01:21:38,840
didn't feel much, which I don't
think is what they wanted me to be

1374
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:42,520
feeling here. I also, I
guess I'm curious, like what a longer

1375
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:46,560
chunk of gameplay is going to look
like in this so to have like what

1376
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,800
is essentially an extended cut scene with
like very minimal gameplay on once, it

1377
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:56,119
just makes me worried for like how
much how gameplay is this game going to

1378
01:21:56,159 --> 01:21:58,760
be or is it gonna be more
a story focused with a lot of cutscenes

1379
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:02,279
for like what could be like a
fun moment to play through, so we'll

1380
01:22:02,319 --> 01:22:04,319
see what's going on there. I
also to just think, like, visually,

1381
01:22:05,279 --> 01:22:09,520
I don't know, it's it's not
looking as great as I want it

1382
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,960
to. Perhaps I think maybe the
saving grace for me here is I talked

1383
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,760
with Kirkland recently on side Quest that
I went and played through one of the

1384
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:20,520
Wolfenstein games, so I got a
little bit machine games knowledge in my background

1385
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:23,720
here and I really had a great
time with that. In terms of the

1386
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:27,039
gameplay, first person sumer caaxs,
I thought it was fun when I come

1387
01:22:27,119 --> 01:22:29,439
to this, though, I see, like, man, every encounter looks

1388
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,840
like it's like a one enemy thing, Like you're not doing these big shootouts,

1389
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:35,039
which you know that's Wolfenstein. I'm
not saying that's what Indiana Jones should

1390
01:22:35,039 --> 01:22:40,199
be necessarily, but I guess I'm
just getting potentially a bit concerned that the

1391
01:22:40,279 --> 01:22:44,039
gameplay is not going to be fun
in this game, and I don't know

1392
01:22:44,079 --> 01:22:45,520
if the story is gonna be good
enough to make up for the fact that

1393
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:49,079
the gameplay is not good. So
that's kind of where my worries are at

1394
01:22:50,359 --> 01:22:53,720
So yeah, I guess I'm a
little under the weather on it. You

1395
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:57,119
could say, so, Travis,
where are you lying on this one?

1396
01:22:57,399 --> 01:23:00,239
And I like the other thing.
There's a couple of comedic moments and didn't

1397
01:23:00,239 --> 01:23:01,880
work for me, like the guy
with the cartoon bid and everything, But

1398
01:23:02,399 --> 01:23:05,159
I think for the most part,
it's still feeling like India. I think

1399
01:23:05,239 --> 01:23:11,159
the gameplay yet, I was surprisedly, you know, as I said when

1400
01:23:11,159 --> 01:23:14,039
we got the reveal, I wasn't
opposed to the first person, but I

1401
01:23:14,119 --> 01:23:15,920
also said that it could be a
mistake by time we get there, and

1402
01:23:16,359 --> 01:23:19,960
I think it's generally gonna be a
wait and see sort of thing. I'll

1403
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:23,520
definitely be there. I think there's
tons of fun things they could do with

1404
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:27,159
Indiana Jones, and I think as
of right now, there's still this scene

1405
01:23:27,399 --> 01:23:30,439
for the most part, had like
the spirit of Indian Jones. So at

1406
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:34,079
least they're nailing to me that part
of some of the type of isms that

1407
01:23:34,159 --> 01:23:38,600
they do. So yeah, I'm
I'm still excited for the game and hoping

1408
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,560
to get a date soon, but
I'm not excited to the point where I'm

1409
01:23:42,319 --> 01:23:45,159
like, oh, I can't.
I'm Jones in the PLAYSS game. I

1410
01:23:45,199 --> 01:23:46,800
think we have really fun but it
just looks like, oh, I'm going

1411
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,600
to have a good hopefully a good
time with a game that has an India

1412
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:53,399
Jones's skin on it, and I
can scratch in each of that that we

1413
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,279
haven't had like a big triple a
Indiana Jones game, I think. But

1414
01:23:56,359 --> 01:23:58,800
at the same time, I think
it could be a game that maybe like

1415
01:23:59,119 --> 01:24:00,800
over delivers because I'm just gonna have
it at like a you know, a

1416
01:24:02,159 --> 01:24:05,720
very not low bar, but just
like the bar on my expectations are in

1417
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:10,039
line. So but yeah, so
first to like it. Yeah, we'll

1418
01:24:10,039 --> 01:24:12,159
talk about release date in a second. For that, I want to loop

1419
01:24:12,199 --> 01:24:15,439
back on that one. Next up
was Mecha Break It's coming twenty twenty five.

1420
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:19,560
After that was again called Wu Chong
Fallen Feathers, which is like a

1421
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:25,439
Soul's like thing that's coming to game
Pass twenty twenty five as well. Moving

1422
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:30,560
along it Avowed was up next where
we got to see a little bit more

1423
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:32,439
here, but then they did like
a deep dive or like another half an

1424
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:39,000
hour of the main developer there talking
through the things, showing off more extended

1425
01:24:39,039 --> 01:24:42,720
gameplay sequences of it. And so
I think from the initial like the trailer

1426
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,640
they showed here, I wasn't like
super impressed, but that Deep Dive did

1427
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,159
some good stuff where they finally showed
off a lot more of the like skill

1428
01:24:48,239 --> 01:24:50,560
tree and the RPG side of things, and I'm into it. I like

1429
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,600
what they showed there. I think
the magic just looks super fun in this

1430
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,079
game, Like the at one point
in the trailer, the character is like

1431
01:24:57,119 --> 01:25:00,119
this purple magic book and they slam
it shut in is like this big AoE

1432
01:25:00,239 --> 01:25:02,840
around them that looks cool. The
ice we've seen before looks cool. The

1433
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,319
fire looks really good. So I
think the magic part of it is is

1434
01:25:06,399 --> 01:25:10,680
what's looking really nice. And the
one thing that I found really interesting in

1435
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,720
the Deep Dive was they were talking
about how like the character the character had

1436
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,359
like a sword and like they were
swinging at this enemy and like the animation

1437
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:20,239
looked really bad. I was like, Oh, this is worrying. The

1438
01:25:20,359 --> 01:25:24,920
characters like smacking, look like they're
hitting with like the hilt of their sword,

1439
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,880
and like what's going on? Like
this is I'm slightly concerned for the

1440
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,199
melee calm at here. But then
they go and upgrade their skills and their

1441
01:25:32,239 --> 01:25:35,319
sword or whatever, and then they
go fight and that same sword, their

1442
01:25:35,359 --> 01:25:40,000
animations are like popping off looking really
good. And then they were talking about

1443
01:25:40,039 --> 01:25:44,039
that and the deep dive that like
upgrading your character means your characters like more

1444
01:25:44,079 --> 01:25:47,760
proficient with their weapon and you'll get
better animations with like the sound effects will

1445
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:51,520
be better and more juicy. And
it's like that is a really interesting idea,

1446
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:55,720
and it makes me wonder, like
how much of the kind of mid

1447
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:59,560
or bad looking gameplay that we've seen
in some of the trailers is that kind

1448
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,119
of thing or we're seeing like a
lower level character who hasn't leveled up yet

1449
01:26:02,159 --> 01:26:06,439
and isn't like expert at their stuff
yet. So I'm really curious about that,

1450
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:10,439
and it kind of gives me a
glimmer of hope. I have pretty

1451
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:14,279
low expectations for this game, just
because it started out as like, okay,

1452
01:26:15,079 --> 01:26:17,600
you know Obsidian they made Fallow at
New Vegas, and this is finally

1453
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,199
them doing their take on Skygrim.
But then like over the time, they've

1454
01:26:20,239 --> 01:26:24,119
been like, you know what,
the scale it's not there. It's a

1455
01:26:24,159 --> 01:26:27,560
smaller scale game. It's like outer
worlds or around that kind of size.

1456
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,760
And so I think because that my
expectations are just in check. They're lower,

1457
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:33,600
but there was some stuff here that
I thought looked really nice, looked

1458
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:38,520
pretty interesting. They talk about how
there's third person in this game. You

1459
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,000
can do third person or first person. They didn't show much of it,

1460
01:26:41,079 --> 01:26:44,079
so I'm curious how the combat will
feel for that. But that's a nice

1461
01:26:44,119 --> 01:26:46,239
option, which of course was a
thing in New Vegas and any Bethesda game.

1462
01:26:46,359 --> 01:26:50,079
Right. So yeah, I'm very
excited for this game. Once again,

1463
01:26:50,119 --> 01:26:53,640
no release date on it, but
they're still saying this year. So

1464
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,199
we'll talk about that in a second, because once again I want to do

1465
01:26:56,279 --> 01:27:00,199
that release date stuff at the end. But yeah, i'd say i'd say

1466
01:27:00,239 --> 01:27:03,640
this increase my hype level for Avowed, but once again I'm still trying to

1467
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:08,239
keep it, keep it in check
there. But yeah, any thoughts from

1468
01:27:08,239 --> 01:27:14,119
you guys on this one. I'm
I'm looking forward to it. I think

1469
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:16,880
some of the things you highlighted is
it's exciting and it's cool that they have

1470
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:21,000
the team working on those little quality
of life kind of improvements, I guess

1471
01:27:21,039 --> 01:27:25,479
you could say, and yeah,
I mean it's it's definitely something that I

1472
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:32,800
look forward to, mister muted Travis
snell over here, and yeah, I'm

1473
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,880
trying to figure out for some reason
my fucking Mac is just beeping every once

1474
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,479
in a while, so I'm not
sure if you hear that, So I'm

1475
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:42,479
not sure if it's like overheated so
great times. Yeah, this game that

1476
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:46,439
I've been continued constantly and continually on
the fence about, I'll kind of wait

1477
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:48,920
until I think will be game that
I don't think i'll play day one unless

1478
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:53,319
I hear very great things. But
the third person does help because I just

1479
01:27:53,399 --> 01:27:57,439
have this thing where I don't like
magic games at our first person. I

1480
01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,279
don't like casting spells. I don't
like doing that, even swords to degree,

1481
01:28:00,319 --> 01:28:05,720
I just whenever I see that that's
not a Travis venture. I can

1482
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:10,039
do that for guns and other things, but with magic, it's not not

1483
01:28:10,239 --> 01:28:13,199
my realms. The second I and
that's why I love because I've always loved

1484
01:28:13,199 --> 01:28:15,600
that with the Bethesta games. I
love the option for both because sometimes there

1485
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:19,279
are some situations that are much better
in first person and there's something I would

1486
01:28:19,359 --> 01:28:23,159
much prefer in third person, whether
it be story or just the setting in

1487
01:28:23,199 --> 01:28:26,399
the environment. So that did get
me more important. That made me a

1488
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,680
kind of go a bit more in
the pause of direction, so I'm still

1489
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:32,840
gonna wait until closer too. But
I've always been back and forth. I

1490
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:34,800
see things I like about the game, and I see things that I go,

1491
01:28:35,039 --> 01:28:39,960
h, not really for me,
but so i'll i'll it's still wait

1492
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:45,119
and see on avout. Next up, Adam Fall is coming out twenty twenty

1493
01:28:45,159 --> 01:28:48,800
five. This is from Rebellion,
who are the developers of Sniper Elite,

1494
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:53,119
who I kind of slept on for
many years. But when I played Sniper

1495
01:28:53,119 --> 01:28:56,000
Elite five when I was in game
pass, I absolutely love that game,

1496
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,880
and so because of that, I'm
like really excited for this. I think

1497
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:02,800
this looks really cool them going to
a first person from a third person perspective.

1498
01:29:03,319 --> 01:29:06,840
This is like historical, but it's
like an alternate reality. So there's

1499
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:11,800
like mech going on. This is
they've called this more of a survival action

1500
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,520
than like a stealth action game,
which is what Sniper Elite is, So

1501
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,239
I think this is like a cool
pivot for them, something kind of different,

1502
01:29:16,279 --> 01:29:20,359
but it's still like noticeably within that
same DNA of the stuff they're really

1503
01:29:20,399 --> 01:29:24,520
good at. Uh. So yeah, I'm pretty excited for this. This

1504
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:27,399
is a cool announcement. For me, one of one of my favorite things

1505
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:30,840
here in the showcase. Even if
it just liked like somewhat of a run

1506
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:32,319
of the mill shooter, I just
like have a lot of faith in this

1507
01:29:32,399 --> 01:29:35,000
studio and like their level design is
so good, like visual I think it

1508
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:40,800
looks really great. So yeah,
looking forward to this one. Yeah cool,

1509
01:29:41,399 --> 01:29:45,199
Yeah, moving along A thousand screen
shadows was shown here once again.

1510
01:29:45,239 --> 01:29:48,439
We're gonna kick that to Ubisoft forward. We'll talk about that more in the

1511
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:53,880
next cast. Stalker two got another
trailer here, so it's coming out with

1512
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:58,199
September fifth. I thought this was
a really great showing for another great trailer.

1513
01:29:58,279 --> 01:30:01,880
Looks very gritty, gritty and cinema. The combat looks fun, visuals

1514
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,159
look really great. I uh yeah, didn't play soccer one, but I'm

1515
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:09,359
very much looking forward to this.
It's gonna be picking this up day one.

1516
01:30:09,399 --> 01:30:11,840
How about you guys game pass picking
it up? Yes? No,

1517
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:16,479
no, not done anything for me, So I recommend go watch the documentary.

1518
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,960
But the first movie, how People
Got It really sick filming it.

1519
01:30:19,079 --> 01:30:21,680
But yeah, there's this. Every
time I've seen this, from the beginning

1520
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:26,600
when they've showed this to now just
hasn't hasn't scratched a niche, or hasn't

1521
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:30,640
been like oh that there are anything
interesting there? So yeah, no nothing

1522
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:34,359
for me on this one. Okay, nothing, okay. Next up was

1523
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:43,640
the revealing of some new consoles.
We got a digital only Series X along

1524
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,640
with some additional storage options. So
a Series S with one terror byte and

1525
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:50,000
a Series X with two terrorbytes.
What you're gonna need if you're gonna be

1526
01:30:50,039 --> 01:30:55,159
playing Called Duty on your Xbox console. Some new colors, like the Series

1527
01:30:55,319 --> 01:30:59,439
X is it has a white version
now the black one has like this kind

1528
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,439
of speckle old star thing to it. It looked pretty cool. Glee.

1529
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:06,760
Yeah, they said it's coming out
this holiday, I believe, right,

1530
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:12,239
but they didn't actually put a date
on it. I don't know what are

1531
01:31:12,279 --> 01:31:14,560
the chances you guys are buying this. I feel like there's no way you'd

1532
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:16,680
need to upgrade to one of these
six right, Well, that's one breaks,

1533
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:19,720
that's that same thing in the PlayStation
if there is a pro The only

1534
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:24,560
reason I'll buy upgrades for current consoles
I have is if something breaks and I

1535
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:29,560
need a new one. So yep, that's it. Taylor, You any

1536
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:31,640
chance you'd pick up I'm happy I
got my Series X the only the only

1537
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:35,159
thing I need is more storage.
So yeah, it's the storage angle is

1538
01:31:35,159 --> 01:31:39,000
a big part of it, for
sure, and I'd like more storage.

1539
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,479
I'm k not going to upgrade a
console for it, you know, new

1540
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:44,960
options for players who don't have it
yet, don't yet have an Xbox,

1541
01:31:45,319 --> 01:31:49,199
but maybe wait and see what the
hand held thing is before you bite down

1542
01:31:49,239 --> 01:31:54,640
on one of these. So I
wanted, I gain. I wanted to

1543
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:57,560
ask, like, like, this
has got to come out. What November

1544
01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:00,199
October? Do they do it?
Like with Call of Duty? Is that

1545
01:32:00,319 --> 01:32:02,479
the play with the new Call Duty
they do like a bundle or something.

1546
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:10,560
M with it being on Games Pass, it makes me like less inclined to

1547
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:14,640
say yes, So I'll just say
November. I guess have it out for

1548
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:18,399
call dude, because I'll call these
out October late October. Yeah, I'll

1549
01:32:18,399 --> 01:32:24,640
say it's around the mid October and
not even necessarily bundled with CALD just like

1550
01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:30,119
before it. This is interesting because
I was just kind of curious in the

1551
01:32:30,239 --> 01:32:33,840
history, so I remember, like
June is it's obviously way too soon.

1552
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,680
But the Xbox three sixty s one
came out end of June and then the

1553
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:41,479
Xbox One S and that's one that
I actually upgrade my Xbox One to the

1554
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:46,279
One S that came out in August. So it seems like these revised like

1555
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:51,760
next Jet, not next gen,
but upgraded consoles of that same generation.

1556
01:32:53,159 --> 01:32:57,359
And maybe maybe like a late summer, midsummer kind of thing. Possibly I

1557
01:32:57,399 --> 01:33:00,920
could see this maybe like a oh
really okay, maybe maybe I don't know,

1558
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,359
it makes sense to go with the
fact the summer. Wouldn't they have

1559
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,680
like that release date ready to go
if they're here in June, they should

1560
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,399
And that's why I think I prescribed
to the idea maybe it would be a

1561
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:20,800
fall yes, okay, yeah.
And then lastly here was well, lastly

1562
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:25,039
it was called did you already talked
about that Gears of War E Day?

1563
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:29,800
There's a cinematic for a new Gears
game. I don't know much about this

1564
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:33,840
series, So Taylor, why,
why is this interesting or why or why

1565
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:38,880
do you find this interesting? Assuming
you do? For me, I think

1566
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:42,199
E Day is just one of those
things that's talked about. There's books based

1567
01:33:42,239 --> 01:33:45,359
on that, the events the day
for the emergence Day. It's when the

1568
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:50,000
locust towards basically rose to the surface
attacked the humans on Sarah. For me,

1569
01:33:50,159 --> 01:33:55,520
I think that this this is great. I I grew up with Gears

1570
01:33:55,560 --> 01:34:00,399
one to three, so I I'll
never forget skipping school with my friends squad.

1571
01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:02,159
We went to Best Buy together and
we picked up Gears three. We're

1572
01:34:02,199 --> 01:34:05,199
in line. We've got our shirts, preorder shirts, we got our twoks,

1573
01:34:05,199 --> 01:34:10,039
everything like that. The guy in
front of us, who was first

1574
01:34:10,119 --> 01:34:13,479
in line, he went in and
he asked. He asked the guy the

1575
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:15,319
clerk, like, so you guys
got the shirts and then the tuks right

1576
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,720
because he really wanted them, like, sorry, we don't have them,

1577
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:20,479
don't have them, and so he
ended up leaving. And then right after

1578
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:24,319
he left, the guys, oh
I found the shirts and he gave us

1579
01:34:24,399 --> 01:34:29,680
the shirts because we were second.
It was amazing. I hope he's watching

1580
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:34,399
right now, like his son of
a bitch. But yeah, those characters

1581
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:38,560
that you get introduced to in Gears
one and you go through this journey with,

1582
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:44,760
like Dom and Marcus, just incredible, so incredible, Holy shit.

1583
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:47,960
And just to see those two back
in this prequel game, it was just

1584
01:34:48,039 --> 01:34:50,600
fantastic. And I think for me
personally, I was looking at this and

1585
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:56,600
thinking Man, this is the equivalent
of putting out like a Halo reach like

1586
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:59,960
bungeee putting that game out. I
think you're gonna get a lot of people

1587
01:35:00,159 --> 01:35:04,399
just diving into this. You're gonna
get the like new new fans that have

1588
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:06,880
jumped in maybe a Gears four,
maybe a Gears five. They're like,

1589
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:10,720
oh, this is cool, Like
I'm going I'll play this. This is

1590
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:15,039
great. And then you're gonna get
those og fans that we're playing that Gears

1591
01:35:15,119 --> 01:35:18,119
three that were right there to the
end with with Dom and Marcus and just

1592
01:35:18,359 --> 01:35:21,399
are gonna be thriving, like Hey, they're gonna call up their buddies like

1593
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:25,079
hey, we can go back in
and we can play this new game with

1594
01:35:25,159 --> 01:35:28,199
those characters, like let's do it. Let's hop into it. So I

1595
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:30,159
think that this is great, this
is super exciting. I'm there for this

1596
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:34,119
day one. This the moment I
saw this, the trailer as well,

1597
01:35:34,279 --> 01:35:40,920
was fantastic with mad World kicking in
there briefly with those characters, and I

1598
01:35:41,079 --> 01:35:44,279
was down. I was downloading on
Spotify Gears War playlists and just I was

1599
01:35:44,319 --> 01:35:45,479
getting hyped. I was thinking,
Man, I got to get back in

1600
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:49,079
this world. I'm not gonna verse
Briggs because Briggs will just kick my ass.

1601
01:35:49,159 --> 01:35:54,520
But I'm gonna go back in for
the story for sure. Nice.

1602
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,439
I've never been a Gears guy,
so I mean it's a game past.

1603
01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:00,399
I might jump in and join you
for the their Taylor. I mean not

1604
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:02,680
going to commit to plenty of the
old campaign or anything. I'll throw a

1605
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:06,640
few hours into it, but not
necessarily my cup of tea. And I

1606
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:10,880
don't think this trailer that's a cool
concept, I guess. Actually, I

1607
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:14,640
do like what you described there.
It's like the new quiet place for me

1608
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,399
coming out, and that's pretty much
this game is showing how everything went down

1609
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:21,159
and stuff. So yeah, I
will be there with you, Taylor,

1610
01:36:21,159 --> 01:36:26,000
because I think your pitch. Your
pitch is correct in the sense of I

1611
01:36:26,039 --> 01:36:28,479
think we'll bring a lot of people
back. I've only talked about a few

1612
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:31,159
times, but I was a big
Gears one to three fan. I even

1613
01:36:31,239 --> 01:36:33,760
bought Judgment Day played a little bit. I was like, I'm done with

1614
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:38,439
this. Yeah, so I've not
played four and five, and I do

1615
01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:42,640
feel sorry for the people that really
want six as like I guess the conclusion

1616
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,600
of the new trilogy. So I
feel bad for you guys. Because I

1617
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:47,079
don't think it's like a situation where
all you're getting E Day next year and

1618
01:36:47,119 --> 01:36:49,439
then the year after you're getting six, Like I think you're waiting a bit.

1619
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:54,039
But it's probably smart to go this
road because I'm somebody that I gave

1620
01:36:54,119 --> 01:36:58,119
up after three and that's like maybe
I could go play four and five and

1621
01:36:58,199 --> 01:37:00,520
I just haven't filled up that pole. But there is a poll that kind

1622
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:04,960
of if you can capture a similar
tone asthetic to that very first Gears of

1623
01:37:05,039 --> 01:37:09,119
War, that does help. So
no, I think this is I loved

1624
01:37:09,159 --> 01:37:12,039
Gears and I was happy to retire
it, but I think I'm I think

1625
01:37:12,079 --> 01:37:15,119
I'm happy to pull that jersey down
from the rafter and get back into that

1626
01:37:15,199 --> 01:37:21,279
world because I that was a middle
school friends game that was a go to

1627
01:37:21,399 --> 01:37:26,159
a sleepover and we play through the
entire Gears campaign in a night altogether,

1628
01:37:26,319 --> 01:37:30,479
like it was. It was a
touchstone of my youth. So I will

1629
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:35,239
be there for E Day. So
very nice. Okay, So I wanted

1630
01:37:35,279 --> 01:37:42,720
to just quickly kind of recap these
release dates here to talk about Indie a

1631
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:45,520
little bit. So yeah, June, the Starfield update, like the first

1632
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,920
part already came out, followed seventy
six coming out of the twelfth, and

1633
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:54,720
then ELI shows online in eighteenth July
is that Flintlock game on eighteenth, and

1634
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:59,720
then twenty fifth is See of Thieves. In August you have the WOW updates

1635
01:38:00,039 --> 01:38:02,800
on the twenty sixth. On the
September you have on the fourth Age of

1636
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:08,920
Mythology on the fifth Stoker two October
we got the Diablo DLC, and then

1637
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:13,199
Life is Strange, and then Call
of Duty. I'm not saying the dates

1638
01:38:13,239 --> 01:38:16,079
anymore, but you get the picture
here, and then November is Assassine Screen

1639
01:38:16,159 --> 01:38:18,720
Shadows. I'm not just saying exclusive
games. I'm just the things that were

1640
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:25,399
in the showcase. And then Flight
Simulator and then here's the Avowed and MGS

1641
01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:28,399
didn't have release dates, but both
of them kind of got leaked slash like

1642
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:32,039
rumored today that Avowed is looking to
come out November twelve, okay, and

1643
01:38:32,239 --> 01:38:36,920
MGS is coming out the nineteenth,
I believe of November nineteen or seventeenth.

1644
01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:40,760
I thought I saw seventy probably whatever. This Thursday, I guess yeaday,

1645
01:38:41,279 --> 01:38:44,079
is I missed the Avowed one?
So okay, the twelfth there? Okay,

1646
01:38:44,239 --> 01:38:46,359
yeah, so it seems and that
would I think fit. I think

1647
01:38:46,399 --> 01:38:49,359
that would be I mean, not
that Xbox has any control over what metal

1648
01:38:49,399 --> 01:38:51,640
gear is coming out, but I
think for a valid that makes sense.

1649
01:38:51,680 --> 01:38:55,119
They don't have any other I guess
they have flight simulator, but I think

1650
01:38:55,159 --> 01:38:58,279
that's separate enough so that makes sense. So I guess Yeah. The question

1651
01:38:58,319 --> 01:39:00,560
to you guys is like, where
does Indie fit into that? Because I

1652
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:03,439
feel like August makes the most sense. But like, if that's what you

1653
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:08,199
were saying last time, you guys
were saying August and I was, I'm

1654
01:39:08,239 --> 01:39:11,359
stick with my guns. I'm still
saying December. That's what I'm saying for

1655
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:15,199
the holiday, especially they showed off
that Christmas level. You know, some

1656
01:39:15,399 --> 01:39:17,800
snow going on, there'd be some
more marketing. I disagree with the extent

1657
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:20,399
of it. It was August,
now it would have been the time for

1658
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,720
a date now it would be no, That's where I'm at. It's like,

1659
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,600
if it was, there's no way
they wouldn't have had that date ready

1660
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:29,720
to go, So it has to
be later. But then yeah, like

1661
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:31,239
I don't really know where the other
good pocket is for it, So I

1662
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:38,560
think, yeah, December does make
sense that or like I guess there's a

1663
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:42,720
pretty big gap between like Stalker two
into Call of Duty. If you're looking

1664
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:45,479
at the big exclusives, that's like
pretty much a month and a half.

1665
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,960
So maybe like the end of September
early October could be another good pocket for

1666
01:39:49,079 --> 01:39:51,560
it. I hope it's there because
I don't want that game coming out during

1667
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:55,279
holiday season. There's that stuff going
on. But just even in general,

1668
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:59,039
that'll be tough for me. So
it's just like, I like, that's

1669
01:39:59,039 --> 01:40:00,920
always a risk of release against Christmas
time. Again, we don't actually know

1670
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:05,600
how long it's going to be,
but yeah, I think they I don't

1671
01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:08,960
really know, Wellandi's going to do. That's always a tough thing, right

1672
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:12,159
with it being games Pass, and
they'll say it's a success, but then

1673
01:40:12,239 --> 01:40:15,039
they'll you know, we don't know
that. But yeah, just I just

1674
01:40:15,119 --> 01:40:17,479
feel like you're right. Maybe there's
a little bit of time till the end

1675
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:21,399
September October block, so maybe,
but they gotta they gotta get on that

1676
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:24,479
now with that date, and again, I just feel like that you would

1677
01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:27,239
have slapped that one on there,
So that's when I'm going December and then

1678
01:40:27,319 --> 01:40:30,960
watched the Yeah, Xbox especially Red
Fall star Field lately, they're just so

1679
01:40:30,079 --> 01:40:33,920
scared of having a release date and
having to delay things. I don't think

1680
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:38,840
they want to delay things ever again, so they're just gonna wait very late

1681
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,760
into the cycle to put the release
date on things, which I think is

1682
01:40:42,119 --> 01:40:46,600
risky to some extent. I think
so it's a bar information out there than

1683
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:50,079
it is for people to not know
about a game's release, which who knows.

1684
01:40:50,119 --> 01:40:53,399
Maybe that happened with hell Blake because
they waited so long and I just

1685
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:56,520
kind of like randomly put that date
up there. So I don't know,

1686
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,840
We'll see how that goes for them. Taylor, what do you think,

1687
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:06,319
Indie, what's your prediction there?
Sorry Madison was saying good night. I

1688
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:15,720
know, I know. I feel
like at this point in being entering into

1689
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:17,159
the summer months, I feel like
if it was August, we would have

1690
01:41:17,199 --> 01:41:20,640
got that release date drop by now. So it is kind of worrisome and

1691
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:25,800
I feel like maybe my prediction is
incorrect, and maybe maybe Travis has some

1692
01:41:26,079 --> 01:41:30,720
uh has some steam going for him
with his his late December Q four pick

1693
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:38,760
there bold, but maybe maybe it
could be unfortune fairs the Bold. It's

1694
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:45,039
true, I think that's it.
Any other thoughts on the x Box Showcase

1695
01:41:45,159 --> 01:41:49,840
here are my friends. No think
okay, sounds good. Thank you everyone

1696
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:55,359
for listening. We'll see you for
the Ubisoft Forward coverage and then boom,

1697
01:41:55,399 --> 01:41:58,359
we've done it. Well, there's
like a million other showcases that happened,

1698
01:41:58,399 --> 01:42:00,239
but those are the big one,
so to speak. So we'll see you

1699
01:42:00,279 --> 01:42:02,000
