I'm doing well well now I feel like I've been told off. 9 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.399 Yeah, well listen Xbox Papa was Papa film mad at me. He's 10 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.399 just he's not going to give you that many more chances. You go in 11 00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.520 there and you've grassed people thirty forty times a day, You're only gonna get 12 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.079 seven or eight times a day. Ryan, Okay, bye about soon, 13 00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:02.039 Lucy. I've done the thing. I have shifted Twitter to only so I 14 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.680 only see people i'm following. Now I've done it. I've had to make 15 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.799 I made the choice. You I did not do that before. We see 16 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:14.560 here's the thing quality filter used to work. There's things, Oh it's fucking 17 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.920 I've been broken since guests we took over, And that was like a really 18 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.120 good feature. It kept the ratio at the right, the right balance where 19 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.400 boy never applied to my tweets exactly. Of course, yes, this will 20 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.760 very low quality, Lucy, what can I do? And it was like 21 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.000 kept the ratio right, Like I was getting responsive for people who like were 22 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.120 interested in in in like having a conversation whatever, And I'm fine with that. 23 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.040 I actually really enjoyed that kind of stuff. And now it is most 24 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.560 of those people have either left or they are getting subsumed by just idiots. 25 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.560 They're just really dumb people who don't understand how anything works. And so yeah, 26 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.760 I've had I've had to shift it, and now here I am. 27 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.040 I think that I think this is like step one on actually getting off of 28 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.000 the platform. Eventually. I think it's I think I'm gonna slowly wean myself 29 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.400 off off. I hope we'll see you. Do you actually think people I 30 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.599 don't think people are gonna leave. Well, I think I think I don't 31 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.680 think there's a replacement. I just don't think I think we are all too 32 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.599 uh, notification pilled. Do you want to find something else? Yeah? 33 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.800 Yeah, it already like our brains are already conditioned to work the way Twitter 34 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.560 works. No even if no matter how much he tries to break it, 35 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.039 it's still the other sites don't quite have don't quite fit into that that peg 36 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:34.120 as well. So yeah, I mean, but I don't. I've never 37 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.879 said I was going to leave, and until like now, I'm like, 38 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.000 I would like to, but it's probably not going to happen. I don't 39 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.240 know. I'll be there to the bitter end. Yeah, I will too 40 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:46.639 much. I was. I was talking about this last week, but like 41 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.240 there was I logged onto Twitter one day and there was just a picture of 42 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.560 a shock with boobs and it was like, this is what would happen if 43 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.000 a shock slide, And I was like, I'm never leaving this website. 44 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.599 There's been some like good tweets from like just people out there putting out like 45 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.639 that are doing the good tweets. It's just the interactions I've been off, 46 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.240 So I bet follow only is going to fix it. So I think so 47 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:15.280 hopefully might have been fine. Okay, so like you've done this for a 48 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.360 while though you is yours on follow only No, okay, yeah, but 49 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.360 you're better at tweeting than I am. I'm I think I just attract people 50 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.960 that are I'm hilarious. Yeah exactly, and I'll I'm just state my bad 51 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.479 opinions and then people feel the need to come and tell me how opinions don't 52 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.919 work. And that's the thing. I just don't really have opinion, no 53 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.719 idea save my opinions. I save my opinions for a podcast where I can 54 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.599 talk about them and things won't be has taken out of context? Right? 55 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.400 I think the only thing that's ever really been taken out of context was like 56 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.039 ten years ago, I said the Xbox One UI was bad. And you 57 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.719 know what has stunned by it? Yeah, it's say they still have that 58 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.360 same UI pretty much. I got. I got used to it to the 59 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.120 point where I kind of like it. Yeah, I don't say it's good. 60 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:59.280 I don't think any of the us. I haven't used the good UI 61 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:00.639 in like ten years. I have no idea what a good you I looks 62 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.680 like anymore. All right, let's get into this mess. But before we 63 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.199 do, let's explain what we do here most week days. I Jeff Greb 64 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.919 will help piece your gaming life back together.

You can also catch the show later with chapters and 70 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.199 timestamps on YouTube. Hello YouTube. All right, we have a lot to 71 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.480 get into, so let's start the Morning Mess with Jeff Keiley says this year's 72 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.680 Game Gamescom Opening Night Live is quote less about announcing brand new projects. This 73 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.040 comes from Liam Dulan at nintend of Life. Games COM's Opening NightLive is taking 74 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.959 place next week on August twenty second. Holy shit, it's next week and 75 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.319 ahead of the events. Yeah you're going? When do you like? You? 76 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.319 Are you like leaving next week or what? I leave Monday, Monday 77 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.399 mid day ish? Okay, to arrive at like four pm on Tuesday, 78 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:10.920 and I go straight into a dinner like actually we land get changed at the 79 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.040 airport, goes straight to a dinner. Okay, good luck with that. 80 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:21.639 Let's see Yeah, that's that's rough. That's rough stuff. Jeff Basically he 81 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.680 smoked up BGC and he mentioned how this year's show would be less about announcing 82 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.720 brand new projects and more focused on updates for previously announced games and the quote 83 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.360 he said, this year's Opening Night Live is less about announced brand new projects 84 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.160 and more about giving fans updates some of the biggest games due out over the 85 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.480 next year. It's going to be an exciting show with new looks at many 86 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:44.399 announced upcoming games like Allan Wake two and Black Like Black Myth Wu Kong. 87 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.839 As highlighted by The Source, there were more than thirty five games featured in 88 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.000 last year's Opening NightLive broadcast. Unfortunately, the host didn't name drop any specific 89 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.639 titles or series, but there will be a lot of exhibitors at the show, 90 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:59.759 including companies like Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sega. This this feels like, 91 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.079 that's right, that would that's the You don't need to be announcing new 92 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.000 games. Look at what's happening right now with game releases. Even like it's 93 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.600 too many, it's too many, there's too too much stuff happening. And 94 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.680 I mean really that's just that's like for one thing, that's just people are 95 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.040 overwhelmed a little bit, I think. But also I think most of the 96 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.480 games that were like in the works finally came out this year, and now 97 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.319 a lot of studios are reloading. Of course, there's always going to be 98 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.959 new games coming, but I wouldn't be surprised if not maybe next year, 99 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.839 but the year after that. It's like feels a little bit slow in comparison 100 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.399 to the previous years, as the pandemic sort of you know, the dam 101 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.240 that built up over the pandemic burst, and now here we are in it. 102 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.879 We're flooded by all these games and then a couple of years like, 103 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.480 okay, now everyone is resetting. So yeah, updates on projects that we 104 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.199 already know about sounds about right. So I mean, let's I know what 105 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.600 you're most excited about, alan Wick two. We won't be playing it long 106 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.560 after this, But anything else that you kind of hope that we hear about, 107 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.439 I mean, judging on where this lands in the calendar, this is 108 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.079 basically where I'm expecting to see a lot of Q three, Q four's big 109 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.920 hitters. So I'd be surprised if maybe there wasn't a cyberpunk in there. 110 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:12.000 I'd be surprised if it wasn't an Assassin's creed. I think for me, 111 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.720 the big ticket item is Alan Wake, which is wild because if you told 112 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.879 me thirteen years ago that Alan Wake two would end up being one of the 113 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.680 most anticipated games of twenty twenty three, what I would have told you, 114 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.879 even though I loved I gave so much, it's just very strange to hear 115 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:32.439 it, like, oh, Alan's back, Yeah, don't know in it, 116 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:38.079 He's back in park form, He's back in the Dark Place form. 117 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.759 I'm yeah, going, you don't know, that's it. I just I 118 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.360 don't know what to expect. I mean, the thing is as well. 119 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.959 I'm ast be very careful because I have my appointments lists. I'm just checking 120 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.959 that I'm not accidentally breaking any indears. I don't think I am. I 121 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.279 mean, I'm definitely not, but like, I'm not saying anything further about 122 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:59.040 what I'm seeing. Yeah, fair enough, I would. I look at 123 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.160 Opening Night Live, of the lives of the past, I'm like, I 124 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.000 don't remember very many big announcements, And again, I think that's fine. 125 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.360 I think Opening Night Live being sort of this little slot where people give us 126 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.360 updates on stuff that we know about, it serves its its purpose and it 127 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.959 could be fun in its own way. You know that they're still rumors. 128 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.959 Sm A game Fest was not long ago, right, A game This was 129 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.800 a very like barely a month and a half ago in my mind. Yeah, 130 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.439 I mean that, I really I feel I mean even like we're supposed 131 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.080 to get a Nintendo Direct in early September, and I was thinking that the 132 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.679 last direct was not that long ago. Uh, like that's we're already getting. 133 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.919 But it like they always do one in September, so uh, it's 134 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.440 like, Okay, I guess they usually do this, so this it'll be 135 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:43.879 fine. But it's like, yeah, it feels like we just got a 136 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.120 bunch of announcements over the summer and yeah, I guess they did the Nintendo 137 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.879 Direct over the summer later than normal and that's why my brain's going in that 138 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.480 direction. But uh, for Opening Night Live, yeah, I think we'll 139 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.399 probably come out of it being like, Okay, the games I was already 140 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.200 excited about, I'm even more excited about now. And I'm sorry, I 141 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.159 just got super distracted. YouTube has like an affliction. Font did something happen 142 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.320 to my computer? Or is that like something that YouTube is doing a lot? 143 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.919 I don't know the YouTube logo on YouTube. Okay, it's a stroke 144 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.639 of genius. It's not affliction. I don't know what that is. That 145 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.080 was not going to be able to continue unless I talked about that. Sorry 146 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.120 everybody. Yeah, althetica strikes again. Yeah, this is also could be 147 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.480 Jeff Keeley doing his thing where he recognizes this dance. Now, he's done 148 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.480 this a bunch of times, and his stance going into a lot of these 149 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.679 shows has been like he wants to get people excited, but I think he's 150 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.919 more willing to be like, let's lower expectations because I know people are gonna 151 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.200 watch no matter what. Now. I think at a certain point in time 152 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:45.879 he was like, I got I kind of have to be the salesman no 153 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.519 matter what, even if we don't have the goods, because I need people 154 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.720 to watch this because that's how I make money. And I think now he's 155 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.159 in a comfortable spot where the audience will show up for these things. They 156 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.960 are hungry for these big presentations that might have announcements in them, and he 157 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.919 can set expectations low and then overcome those expectations and kind of get both sides, 158 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.080 get a huge viewership, and get good sentiment coming out of it. 159 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.440 Do you think there's any chance that maybe there is some surprises in there and 160 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:16.399 he's trying to like purposely set the expectations low. My experience of Games Come, 161 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:24.120 so I have been I believe seven or eight times, which is possibly 162 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.559 too many. Yeah, maybe, but it was always it was always you 163 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.600 would everything would be announced at E three. There would be behind closed door 164 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.879 stuff, maybe some hands on, but Games Come would more or less be 165 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.840 a lot of the same builds you would have at E three. That's kind 166 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.320 of how the pipeline works, and it would just be that these would be 167 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.759 available to the public. Games Come. Back in the day when Sony, 168 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.639 Microsoft, EA, whoever, used to have their own press conferences, they 169 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.480 would still hold announcements, They would still hold off different things. PlayStation, 170 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.279 I want to say, went really big with indies and the Vita around Games 171 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.200 Come, so it be its own separate beat. Now those have all peeled 172 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:09.679 off, and it feels like Games Come. It feels Jeff Keely correct me 173 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.360 if I'm wrong. It feels like Opening NightLive is much more of a games 174 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.919 Com contacted him to make this show kind of thing, to make it a 175 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.559 tent pole that's not that's a feeling I get because I feel it's a mutual 176 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.159 but I think I know what you mean. Yeah, it's a mutually beneficial 177 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.080 partnership. But it feels like Jeff saves his announcements of the Game Awards and 178 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.039 Summer game Fest for sure, and games Come is this strange stop gap in 179 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.559 the middle where it is just extended looks at things we've already seen, because 180 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.960 at the heart of it, it is more of the consumer show. These 181 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.080 days it used to be I think, much more balanced in terms of big 182 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.440 announcements, business stuff. The business center still pops off. But yeah, 183 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.159 that's just how it feels to me. And so I think as well, 184 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.240 Jeff is very aware of the scrutiny he gets when it comes to talking about 185 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.600 and planning these shows. You see what happens. I think, I think 186 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.399 Game Awards every year he consistently delivers. And then I think he's learned some 187 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:09.039 a Game Fest is that people expect Game Awards level reveals that, but he 188 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.519 just it's a different show. So he's become very aware of how to navigate 189 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.559 those conversations when speaking about the shows publicly. And I think, yeah, 190 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.519 I think that he's just being careful with regards to what he says about opening 191 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.519 our life. Yeah, I think I think I agree, And you're right, 192 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.679 like the timing of this show and like the way that it fit into 193 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.960 the schedule, Oh like it handcuffed him a little bit. And I think 194 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.320 you're right, Like he's got these other masters of Summer Game Fest and the 195 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.480 Game Awards. Yes, jan asked about the possibility of a PS five Slim 196 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.159 getting announced. Sony won't be there, but it does. It feels like 197 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.000 this would have been a good place to do it. Sony can just do 198 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.600 it wherever, though, But Sony'll do their own digital thing and then they'll 199 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.679 show it off and we'll all be like Slim, Yeah right, Yeah, 200 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.360 it looks pretty fatomate. Uh. But then you know, there are the 201 00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:00.559 rumors that Nintendo could have something announced for a like next gen system around the 202 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.320 time of Games Come. If not at games COM's that still feels strange, 203 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.000 not of nowhere, but Nintendo is there. And then they got Nintendo World 204 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:15.159 Hangout Zone at Seattle during packs just a few weeks later. Oh, go 205 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:20.240 to that. Yeah that sounds like fun, But yeah, I don't know. 206 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.759 I mean, do you think there could be big announcements like that. 207 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.639 I don't know, man, Yeah, it's tough. I hope so. 208 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.600 I hope so. But at the same time, it just feels like the 209 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.759 mind schet is on everything else that's coming out this year, right, I 210 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.679 mean, I seem we'll talk about Starfield s gold Yep. I'm just I 211 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.919 feel like everyone's just gonna be getting on with it. Yep. Speaking of 212 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.919 which, Yeah, this is uh the Starfield has gone gold. I just 213 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.600 saw this. Uh, this just will actually happened right when we went live. 214 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.159 Steinken here posted on Twitter Starfield has gone gold from bethesta game studios prepare 215 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.559 for launch. This is what this really is, gone gold. Yeah. 216 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.240 I think we talked about it on the bomb Cast yesterday and I talked about 217 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.200 on Twitter a little bit. It doesn't mean really what it used to mean, 218 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.120 because like going gold meant we've finished the game, put it on a 219 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.919 gold Master disc, send it to the facility, and now they're printing that 220 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.240 disc and they're selling it and some of us get to go home and go 221 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.720 on vacation, and that hasn't hasn't meant that in a very long time, 222 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.200 because these games get continual updates through the first two few weeks of launch, 223 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.080 and so nothing really changes other than it's a it's a nice milestone for the 224 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.679 developers, but it commute. Like most developers, most publishers do not communicate 225 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.399 going gold to a lot of to the public because I think they it implies 226 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.600 something else about the game. Oh, the game is finished, and so 227 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.519 we can expect a perfect game at launch, and I think a lot of 228 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.120 studios try to avoid that. But the way that they like, They're Big 229 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.519 Image here from bethesta Game Studios doesn't say gone gold. It says preload begins. 230 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.679 That is a marketing term. That is something that people can get, 231 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.080 can go and act on, and that is beneficial. Doesn't say like they 232 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.759 does say it's gone gold in the tweet itself. But the Big Image says 233 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.360 Starfield preload begins August seventeen, August seventeenth to August thirty. So yeah, 234 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.440 now people can go ahead and get this ready to go on their systems, 235 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.799 so they can be ready to play on September first. If you got the 236 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.440 special edition, or if you want to go ahead and get the just wait 237 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.639 for the game Pass version or the cheaper version, get it on what is 238 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:28.519 it September sixth? I think six Yeah, uh yeah, that sounds about 239 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.240 right. Uh Lucy, how are what's your sort of temperature on Starfield? 240 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.279 I know that you happen to be playing a lot of boulders Gate three. 241 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.320 Uh spend an hour getting a mace? Is my understanding? Oh my god? 242 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.240 Okay, I hit. I hit fifty hours yesterday. Hell yes, 243 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:52.440 and I'm just in act two. God, I wish we could have got 244 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.080 you on the Bond. I know you were basically, but man, you 245 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:54.960 know you're gonna be a games comm I want to talk to you about this 246 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.360 so bad. I want to find another the week. Well, the thing 247 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.320 is that I'm going to take it on my Steam deck, so I will 248 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.480 be playing in three Games Comes. So the week the week after I get 249 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.799 back from Games Comes, we'll do the fifth. Yes, but I'll be 250 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.159 Starfield and Balder's Gate one because I bet the embarko about the fifth will be 251 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.279 up because it'll be out for most people. Well, because that's the thing. 252 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.679 I'm just like, I love it so much and I'm really excited with 253 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.799 star Field. Starfield is basically a game made for me. But I want 254 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.799 to finish Bulder's game. And I know that if I start Starfield, I'll 255 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:34.120 fall off because those are two very systems driven video games, ye coming out 256 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.320 at the same time, and I'm like, oh man, I just want 257 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:45.840 to I just want to shag my fultry vampire companion. Then go into space. 258 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.759 You could probably mod him in the Starfield and just have sex with them 259 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:55.200 in there. I bet that's possible. Not with those what would they not? 260 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.440 With those lines? It was like, oh, get a jet pack 261 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:02.039 next time. You know Starry and he's got Starr in his name right there. 262 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:08.480 He's Tim Curry like the Neil like the Tim Curry voice, and then 263 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:14.799 he's basically sort of a bit of a listat. Yes, oh yeah, 264 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.680 they are going for a listat definitely. Yes, Schlungs of Starfield. Shout 265 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:23.200 out to hell Adilos in chat for that's it's a great mod for the Sky 266 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:27.400 and the Schlungs Starfield is the names right there. It's ready to go. 267 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.559 Which we also killed a Starian in our playthrough when we did the multiplayer playthrough 268 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.519 day Yeah, well I said I was, I was against it, but 269 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.119 while we were playing with Dan, so he had to die. Yeah, 270 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.759 So okay, So preload agains. Well, we'll have plenty of talk about 271 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.079 Starfield when it happens. You're trying to finish boulders Gate. I'm still trying 272 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:49.440 to finish Tears the Kingdom. I'm right there. I'm gonna do it. 273 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.599 It's gonna be I'm gonna try to finish it literally tonight. Uh. I 274 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.160 did finish Pickman four now, But my big problem is I really do want 275 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.480 to get in the Boulder Skate three and win. Yeah, I don't know, 276 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.200 it's so good. No, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get to 277 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.039 the Indus year without planing a significant portion. But so I'll find some time 278 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:12.880 for it. What's Jan's bet? Jan's got to bet? So Jan says 279 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.200 that, Okay, so you know how we're gonna be a Pax right, 280 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.279 Yeah, I'm going yes, exactly, yes, And you might need to 281 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:23.839 help him because you'll be in a situation where you can maybe aid him for 282 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:30.240 a few hours. By the time our panel begins at five pm Civic time 283 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:36.559 on Saturday at the Blue Jay Theater at Pax West, Jan has to have 284 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.599 beaten Tears of the Kingdom, and if he hasn't, he's gonna shave his 285 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:52.079 head at the panel. My sweet boy. Listen, he said this on 286 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.000 the bomb cast, so you know that's legally binding. Well, the thing 287 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:57.720 is is that channel was hot. So how do we know that he hasn't 288 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.559 already shaved his head? Very good point, but I mean we'll have to 289 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.960 ask him to remove the hat. We'll see what what happens. But listen, 290 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.160 I think one he can do this if he sets his mind to it, 291 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:08.920 and he can do anything. He can do anything if he sets his 292 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.079 mind to it. But if he doesn't, listen, I get it. 293 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:18.400 Sometimes you got to reset the hair and sometimes you sell the hair. Sure, 294 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.440 I think you could do anything. I just there might be laws against 295 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.359 it. I don't know. I don't yeah exactly. That's those are optional. 296 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.200 We can just like throw handfuls at the audience, right, that'll be 297 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:38.839 all right. Let's see. Here's switch ports specialist Farrell Interactive teases another two 298 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:44.160 games. This comes from Liam Dulan at Nintendo Life. There are constant requests 299 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.799 for more switch ports and one company working around the clock in this particular field 300 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.000 is the UK team at Farrell Interactive, and a recent post on social media, 301 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.000 it shared a cryptic message about a few new sightings on its games on 302 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.079 It's gown, It's gaming Radar. If you head over to its website, 303 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.000 you could see two games coming quite soon to the Switch. Although there are 304 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.279 no names attached, we do have some text and pictures. One features the 305 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.480 Switch logo next to an image of dolphins and the text over our heads. 306 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:11.799 The other one has a Switch logo in front of what appears to be a 307 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.680 pool table and the words now You've got to play the part. You could 308 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.119 see the some fan theories and speculation on the Nintendo subreddit. All we really 309 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.079 know for sure is that these titles are upcoming releases for Feral Interactive and they 310 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:30.319 will be coming quote quite soon. This quite soon, Lucy probably does refer 311 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:36.279 to that September direct that is almost certainly happening, so we probably won't have 312 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:37.960 to wait too long. This is the same company that recently wrapped up work 313 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:44.160 on the Lauracraft collection from the Nintendo Switch, Alien Isolation and Grid Auto Sports, 314 00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:45.839 so they're pretty good at handling the switching and doing that sort of thing. 315 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.519 But yeah, I wonder what's happened. Listen, everyone knows me. 316 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.880 If I hear dolphins, i'ming to think echo the Dolphin. I think that 317 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.759 Dreamcast Echo the Dolphin Defender of the Future, I think is the name of 318 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:02.720 the subtitle. That would be a pretty good fit on Switch. That could 319 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:04.519 be a pretty good game. It gets pretty tough as soon as the sharks 320 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.599 get introduced. Yeah, so that the rules, that's right. So it's 321 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.960 that probably means it's actually Saga's Hyena's game. Sure, why not? Yeah? 322 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.119 Are there any like ports that you can think could give you a good 323 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.680 fit for the Switch or anything that you were like? But I mean, 324 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.200 I don't know. Are you someone who like does port begging for the Switch? 325 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.359 I'm like, oh, I would love everything on the Switch? How 326 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:30.839 about you? I think this? Nope, I don't. I have a 327 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:36.200 steamed exactly. Yeah, I honestly, when you asked me what I would 328 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.119 like to see on the switch, may pretty dead. Redemption is coming to 329 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:45.759 the Switch, so all bets are off. I did not anticipate that announcement 330 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:52.480 at all, So I don't know. Unless it's done properly, the Switch 331 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.279 can be the worst place to play third party titles, So I'm not you 332 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:03.359 know, I don't mind. Yeah, right, I think that this could 333 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.480 you know, it's always exciting when like games that you wouldn't expect get announced 334 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.319 for the Switch and then I rarely end up actually playing them. I think 335 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.240 it was cool that the witch Or three got put on the switch. It 336 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.799 was fun to see it work and get the game and miss around with it. 337 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.880 It's like, that's not how I'm gonna I'm gonna play that game. 338 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.599 I'm good. Yeah, no, no. I Also I also got witch 339 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:26.200 Or three for the switch. I got Dark Souls, Overwatch and all of 340 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:32.000 them. I was like, it's really really cool and impressive that these games 341 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:37.599 run on this machine. But I have Consuls and now I have steamed up. 342 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.599 Actually I have a rog Ally now too, which I'm excited about. 343 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:47.799 This is gonna be my my games come machine. Yeah yeah, it was 344 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:49.599 good. You're traveling a lot here pretty soon. Is it like it's gonna 345 00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:55.839 be on the Roger Ally Roger Ally? Uh yeah, well I think so. 346 00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.599 So I shall say what Xbox provided it to me. Let's check it 347 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.720 out. So a little disclosure in the I'm excited to see it just work. 348 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:06.359 I was talking a skill up about it and he was like, yeah, 349 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.640 I was playing stuff on like maxill like high settings, and the battery 350 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.640 life wasn't so great. So, yeah, you gotta I would want to 351 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:15.319 fiddle around with that. Yeah. So it's it's a tin ADP screen, 352 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.799 which is completely unnecessary on a system that that's small with a screen that's small, 353 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.680 and so that uses a little bit more battery life. Uh. And 354 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:27.000 you know, it's got a higher, more powerful system on a chip and 355 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:33.000 that uses more battery life. It's also Windows not the most optimized operating system 356 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.599 for for mobile kind of computing. Uh. And it's a it's a little 357 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:40.519 bit annoying to to like use Windows on a device like that without a mouse 358 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:44.759 and a keyboard. But when you're playing a game, it's great. It's 359 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:47.799 fantastic and they run really well. And it's like it's much easier to get 360 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.400 stuff like uh like Xbox PC games working or you know, Epic Game Store. 361 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:57.640 That stuff just works. It's much lighter as well, much lighter as 362 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.640 well, which I kind of like, we help this kid real quick. 363 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.319 What is gimmick doon? So no, so that's gonna be my my gaming 364 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:12.359 I guess when I'm traveling. Hopefully the left Tanza has a decent powers. 365 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:15.519 Yeah, it's a thing like that. I think if you find the right 366 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:17.559 game on the switch. You probably can't get through most of a flight, 367 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.519 but these handheld gaming PCs here, you probably still are going to need a 368 00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:23.880 power out. Don't worry about it. I hit up my docton and I 369 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.559 asked for that good uh, the good drugs. Oh sweet, you just 370 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.920 so you're gonna time forravel? Yeah? Yeahs oh, it's what I do. 371 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.240 It's it's what I've saw I doing because I used to have a very 372 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:38.400 I used to have a very intense fear of flying, So now I just 373 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:45.079 require He'll but no, it's fine. I could fly, totally fine, 374 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.000 but it just it helps me. Yeah, well, I mean, why 375 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:48.559 not, and why not do it? If you can? If I could 376 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.480 go in a sleep pod, I would And that's yeah, that sounds fantastic. 377 00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.680 Yeah all right. Xbox launches new Strike system to help weed out the 378 00:24:55.759 --> 00:25:00.200 jerks. This comes from Eddie mccoch at game Spot. Microsoft's ongoing f to 379 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.640 curtail bad behavior to help promote an environment free of harassment and bullying on Xbox 380 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.599 continues with the announcement of a Strike system. This comes not long after Microsoft 381 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.319 rolled out an Xbox feature that allows players to capture and submit chat clips to 382 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.920 help fight toxic behavior in online games. The Xbox strike system is similar to 383 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:21.000 the demerit strike system used on a driver's license in many countries. A player 384 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.160 that has received two strikes will be suspended from the platform for one day, 385 00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:27.119 whereas the player that receives four strikes will be suspended for seven days. Microsoft 386 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.400 said there are a total of eight strikes. Once that number is reached, 387 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.279 players will be suspended for for messaging parties, party chat, multiplayer, and 388 00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:38.960 other features for twelve months. Strikes against against accounts will be retained on a 389 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.359 player's record for six months before being wiped. Players will receive one strike for 390 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.559 profanity and cheating and two strikes for sexually inappropriate and harassment and bullying. Anyone 391 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:55.839 using hate speech will receive three strikes. This actually sounds like a pretty good 392 00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:00.799 system, Lucy. The big thing here is that the orsement is going to 393 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.920 have like a strike team attached to it. People like human beings are going 394 00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.279 to be looking at these reports, but they're trying to like automate a lot 395 00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:10.480 of it. But then at the end, if you get a report, 396 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.000 someone's going to be looking at that and deciding whether or not you deserve deserve 397 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.839 the strikes or not, that's good. But then yes, uh, three 398 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.599 three strikes automatically four hate speech and that gets you what a week or an 399 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.200 automatic week band like band. And if you do that two more times and 400 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.200 you're just off for a year, that seems pretty good. I think maybe 401 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.839 it could be a little bit harsher even, but you know, you also 402 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.480 hope that maybe people can learn lessons. I don't know how much faith I 403 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:38.039 have in that, but I don't know. How do you feel about this? 404 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:42.079 I think it's a really positive step in the right direction. I'm just 405 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:48.079 looking up Ryan McCaffrey's Ryan McCaffrey was not a fan of it. I saw 406 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.920 yesterday on the day before. But Phil replied with the feedback, Yeah, 407 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.240 feedback is helpful. I'm sure we'll have to continue to tune the system so 408 00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:02.599 that. Yeah, considering this was Ryan's issue, do you know it's a 409 00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:07.079 it's a long one man. Man's got the blue tick, so's he's not 410 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:15.440 beholden the sweat of his tweets? Come on, Surely Xbox P three had 411 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.279 to sign off on xboxes new enforcement strike system. Phil, Why does it 412 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.440 take eight strikes to get a one year ban? Here's why that doesn't make 413 00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:26.279 sense to me in xboxes own words. But then it doesn't seem like he 414 00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:33.960 yeah, it doesn't seem like he recognized that you get multiple strikes, you 415 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.279 know, you know, so that's what Phil's replied. So it's like and 416 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:40.240 then there's a back and forth with Phil was like, this is being worked 417 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:41.519 on. This is you know, this is what we're launching with, but 418 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.160 it is constantly being monitored and changed. So right, if it was like 419 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.880 someone had to do hate speech eight times before getting banned for a year and 420 00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.920 nothing happened for that, I would agree, But that's not the system is. 421 00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:57.440 I think overall this sounds good and if anything, they will probably like 422 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:03.160 increase the rapidity of how comedy strikes you get per in fraction, So like, 423 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:06.519 I don't think they're gonna be like, well, you know, we've 424 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:08.680 we've softened on hate speech. Now you only get two strikes instead of three, 425 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:11.599 Like it seems like they'll be like, no, you get four, 426 00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.079 so you do it twice and you're out for a year. And I kind 427 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.119 of hope they get to that point. That sounds about right to me. 428 00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:21.640 But I could see why they're because you know, there's degrees to all this, 429 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.319 and I think they're trying to build that into the system. But it's 430 00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:26.519 like a at a certain point, like yeah, I always say this on 431 00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.240 my discord. The rule is no line stepping, like you just don't. 432 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.799 You don't even we know when you know, we know when you think you're 433 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.039 being cute. Just no line stepping. But that's you know, a small 434 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.640 community like do when you're doing it this big I get why you need to 435 00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:42.920 have this these sort of rigid rules and rigid system. Yeah. I mean, 436 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.799 with regard to content moderation on a platform as big as Xbox Live, 437 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:53.559 that is an unenviable task. And so I think any step is a step 438 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:59.440 in the right direction because it's kind of been pretty I mean, it used 439 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.000 to be the wild West, and now it's much better. And so now 440 00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:04.720 I'm actually saying, hey, yo, we have laid out all the rules 441 00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:10.680 for you. This is I think I think it's a good I'm interested to 442 00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.200 see it in action. I will say, have you ever seen that? 443 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.799 I think it's a foreign post where it's reasons why I got banned from Xbox 444 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:22.480 Live. Yeah, I think I do remember the old support stuff where it's 445 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:26.720 like some poor person from Xbox has to reply and go like, oh, 446 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:32.400 well you cold your game attag like ass blasters or something. I don't know, 447 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.279 Uh, fantastic. We're about to get to all the ass blasters playing 448 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.720 Modern Warfare three here pretty soon. But first we're gonna to a break. 449 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:48.400 We'll be right back, all right. Modern Warfare three brings back all of 450 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.799 two thousand and nine Modern Warfare twos maps. It seems this comes from Eddie 451 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.640 mccocha Game spot. Sorry, we do breaks now, have about that? 452 00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:59.160 I know. Yeah, it was just so funny that just as you said 453 00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.920 that Jan put grub take a break, you've already in spirit Like it took 454 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.160 over my brain for a second, so we got there. It appears this 455 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.599 year's Call of Duty Modern Warfare three will bring back maps from two thousand ninees 456 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.319 Call of Duty Modern Warfare two. Charlie Intel said it texted the Call of 457 00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.440 Duty marketing campaign phone number and received confirmation that all sixteen maps. What does 458 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.880 that mean from the two thousand and nine game will be in Modern Warfare three? 459 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.880 Is there a hotline that you could text and get scoops from? Lets 460 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:29.440 see? I don't know that. This follows a leak from earlier in the 461 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.000 week that said Modern Warfare three would include the sixteen maps at launch. The 462 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.119 maps include high rise, sub Basis, state, so on. A remastered 463 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:38.279 version of two thousand nineths Call of Duty Modern Warfare two was released in twenty 464 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:42.480 twenty, but it only included the campaign and didn't have any any multiplayer support. 465 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:45.680 With the release of map of the maps from Modern Warfare three, it 466 00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.440 seems fans or finally get what they wanted in a way at least. Back 467 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.640 in twenty twenty, Activision alluded to bring in classic Call of Duty maps to 468 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.960 Modern Warfare to the Modern Warfare universe eventually, and now here we are it 469 00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:02.279 seems like this is something that's is pretty much confirmed. I was a big 470 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:04.039 Call Duty player back at that time, Lucy. This is the kind of 471 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.240 thing where I'm like, oh, those maps were very good. I have 472 00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:11.240 a lot of nostalgia attached to them. Just being in those spaces would be 473 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.400 good. I will I will probably go back to this. But it also 474 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.279 makes this year's Call of Duty feel a little bit like a Frankenstein that they've 475 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.160 like pieced together to make it feel like a seventy dollars game. Still, 476 00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:23.880 because you know, there were those rumors that they were going to skip this 477 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.759 year, and then a few months ago like, no, they're definitely not 478 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.359 skipping this year. Sledgehammers worked on stuff, they have a campaign, they 479 00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:34.000 have multiplayer, they have all this stuff ready to go, and it's like, 480 00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.039 Okay, what does that look like. I'm very curious and we haven't 481 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.319 seen much from it, but that it does feel like yes, like our 482 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.559 Will says, it feels like DLC packaged as a new release. That's what 483 00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.960 it feels like to me. Do you get that sense as well? This 484 00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.559 feels like such a weird yea for cool to g I also I kind of 485 00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.720 not worry. Worrying is not the right term for this. But I'm very 486 00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:02.039 intrigued by the fact that the big cell point for this game is old maps. 487 00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:06.799 Yeah, I mean, and it feels like that's the that's the line 488 00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.079 that going down. People have heard anything, right, so it's like that 489 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:14.119 maybe they listen. They put up some teases and stuff. I think the 490 00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:16.200 like the other selling point is not like some big new feature. It's like 491 00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:20.079 all the stuff that you purchased at Modern Warfare two is going to carry over. 492 00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.440 Well, that's okay, that's that's new and neat and and okay, 493 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.880 let's see what that looks like. But what is what? What still? 494 00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:30.720 What is Modern Warfare three? And we're pretty late in the marketing game and 495 00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.680 they have been pretty quiet on all that stuff. Now, I'm sure there 496 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.119 will be a big reveal eventually and what we will know what the real selling 497 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:40.319 point is. But right now Old Maps being the sell that does that does 498 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:45.160 make it feel like a big nostalgia play DLC pack that is going to be 499 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:47.839 seventy dollars, And at the end of the day, that's probably what this 500 00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:52.920 game is going to be, and maybe it might surpass that with Actually the 501 00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:58.160 campaign is surprisingly good. Who knows, he's back with a new hat, 502 00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:04.119 Yes, and the same apps exactly. Yes, it's probably still gonna be 503 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.240 the best selling game, Like even in a year with Baldish Gay three and 504 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.000 Zelda and all these other things. Call of Duty, He's probably still gonna 505 00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:14.079 outsill all of that, even if it feels like off in some key ways. 506 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.720 So you kind of at a certain point like if I was running a 507 00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:21.480 business and I had the option to do what they're doing to make a lot 508 00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:23.960 more money, yeah, I'd probably do it too. And that's I wouldn't 509 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:29.880 feel good about it. Bandai Namco has multiple major titles planned for the remainder 510 00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.119 of twenty twenty three. This is from Liam Dulan at Nintendo Life. Bandai 511 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:37.720 Namco has shown strong support for the Switch and multiple other platforms this generation and 512 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.000 it's US and it's set to continue this in the second half of twenty twenty 513 00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.799 three, and its latest financial report it mentions how it plans to release a 514 00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.839 number of major titles in the in this half of the year. One game 515 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:53.240 in particular reference is Naruto x Borudo, but it's also got games like Baton 516 00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:57.000 Cados, Bottenkados one and two. I can never murra how to say that 517 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.799 Botten Cados one in two HD Remaster, Armored Corps, and Tech and eight 518 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.039 arriving in the near future. Techn Ads not this year, that's got to 519 00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.119 be the first half of next year. Maybe another project gets used earlier this 520 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.559 year. Tech and eight, that's yeah, I thought it was mince be 521 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:15.840 this year. Am I mixing up with something else? I thought? I 522 00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:20.280 thought techn was it doesn't have a release date, so tech it has no 523 00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.920 dates, so not officially If it's coming this year, that I guess it 524 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:27.119 could come in December, right, that's the game that like could sneak in 525 00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.639 this year, I suppose, but I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, 526 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:31.800 I mean, do you think by now would have a release date? 527 00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:36.519 Yeah. And they've been you know, that game's been showing up in a 528 00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:37.480 lot of places, and they've been talking about a lot. I mean, 529 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:44.119 obviously we saw the Beastcakes at Summer Games Fest. But yes, yeah, 530 00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.039 okay, tech in seven World Championships are in January, so it's it will 531 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.920 likely be after that, Thank you, Marino. That sounds right. I 532 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.239 think first quarter of next year. So yeah, that that that could be 533 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.320 fair. I mean, they could be talking about their fiscal year. That's 534 00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:58.039 probably what happened here and they got a little confused in their fifty year. 535 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:01.639 The first this half of the fiscal year, it's probably the holiday quarter and 536 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:06.639 then the first quarter next year. Another project that teased earlier this year was 537 00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:10.679 the revival of its Dragon Ball Buddha Budha Kai or Buddha Budoki Tinkachi series, 538 00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:15.239 with a new game currently in the early stages of development. There are potentially 539 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.360 more announcements just around the corner as well, with another game show with a 540 00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.320 number of game shows coming up, so apparently Banda Napco could I don't know. 541 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:23.719 Is Banda Namco supposed to be at games Com? Do we know? 542 00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:28.880 I'm not sure. I am not sure. Yeah, I mean they'll be 543 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.679 half the heels of Oh I'm a cool. We'll be releasing jarring games Com 544 00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:38.159 right right, Yes, it will be out. It wouldn't surprise me if 545 00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:43.280 it's if they are there and Armored Core is playable on the show floor, 546 00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:45.639 because a lot of games that kind of would release around Games Come time would 547 00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:49.760 do that to get people excited about it. So, okay, I gotta 548 00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:53.400 I have to defend myself. It is written here as budoki, not budha 549 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:58.920 kai. I thought it was budha kai taichi. Okay, okay tinkaichi. 550 00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:00.199 I did say wrong, all right. So it's a little bit of both, 551 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:01.880 a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. 552 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:06.239 But it's written here by Liam Douelan. Sorry, leam, I gotta throw 553 00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:10.880 you under the bus as fudoki tin kaichih tinkaichi. Okay, we'll get it 554 00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:16.039 right next time, all right. Bungee's approach to Destiny two PvP is changing 555 00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:20.679 after Bunchee posted a Destiny two State of the Game update that received some big 556 00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:24.639 pushback from players. Game director Joe Blackburn uploaded an almost seventeen minute blog in 557 00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:30.079 which you responded to community criticism. May it looked like a YouTuber apology. 558 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:34.559 I saw that comm feet. I was like, Joe did it almost just 559 00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:37.199 like he like turned on the camera himself, sat down and then like that 560 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:42.880 like the exact YouTube apology thing. In it, Blackburn apologized for recent decisions 561 00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:46.480 from from Bungee, promised a major increase in new PvP content, and addressed 562 00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:51.840 several other complaints. The biggest point of criticism from Desty two players in the 563 00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:54.480 wake of Bunchee's big update on the game was the studio implying that it simply 564 00:36:54.519 --> 00:37:00.079 didn't have the resources to deliver a more regular flow of PvP content, a 565 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.639 section of Destiny two that has become notorious or being drip fed new maps and 566 00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:07.519 modes over the years. Blackburn explained that Bungee is now aiming to deliver a 567 00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:09.679 big drop of new maps in twenty twenty four, which will be free for 568 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:14.440 all Destiny two players. Next year, We're going to change our philosophy instead 569 00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:16.039 of a slow trickle of maps throughout the year. We're going to focus our 570 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:21.039 efforts into a single map pack that's free for everyone, Blackburn said, So 571 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:22.840 imagine new maps coming in one drop so that we can make a bunch of 572 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:27.400 new experiences that can all be good at at specific things and has a big 573 00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:31.960 variety and a single drop next year. I have friends that still play a 574 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:37.039 lot of Destiny two Lucy, and I not many of them. I hear 575 00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:40.679 talk about PvP, and I don't think that's because there's they don't want to 576 00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.880 be playing the PvP. I think it's because there's just not a lot to 577 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:50.079 be excited about there. These live service games are you know, it's a 578 00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:53.039 relationship between them and the player, right, and they kind of have to 579 00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:57.239 put in you know, you have to put energy in to keep that relation 580 00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:00.320 strong, relationship strong, and it feels like that is at a certain point 581 00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:04.880 you just run out of, as they said, resources. So I get 582 00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:06.599 them, like, Okay, you know what you're asking for this, We're 583 00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:08.400 gonna put the effort in here. But you think they'll get that return on 584 00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:10.800 investment? Is? I mean, they got what other choice do they have? 585 00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.639 I know, it's uh, it's I wish I had space in my 586 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:22.760 life for a kind of game that I could keep, you know, like 587 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:24.760 checking in on occasionally. You know, I wish I can have had that 588 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.400 used to be that game I just don't have time for anymore, especially this 589 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:35.440 year. But I can definitely understand the frustrations with for the Destiny community. 590 00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:39.199 The last big content drop did not go down very well. I'm really interested 591 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:45.960 in I always feel like Destiny that communication Bungee's a studio is pretty good. 592 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.679 You know. They have like all of the what do they call it, 593 00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:55.079 like this week of Bungee stuff going on. They seem to be very open 594 00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:00.639 or at least compared to what you used to get when you were getting communications 595 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:05.079 from developers. It's kind of a whole different world, and I feel like 596 00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:10.360 they are actually taking the feedback on board. I would say I'm very interested 597 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:14.440 in this new approach. It's something that you know, the over Watch team 598 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:17.880 does and Aaron Keller the Diablo team does, where they put the dev front 599 00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:24.119 and kind of make them do the apology video kind of thing. I get 600 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:29.719 that it's humanizing, and part of me thinks that's a really good thing, 601 00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.079 but the other part of me thinks, do you want to put someone who's 602 00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:38.000 already in a high stress position, who is sensibly the face of the game 603 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:43.840 up against more scrutiny this way. So I'm interested to see how this plays 604 00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.480 out for him, because you get the sense that bungees like pulled away from 605 00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:50.880 that a little bit, right. They used to be Yeah, go away 606 00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:53.719 for it. Yeah, So I wonder if this is Joe wanting to do 607 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:58.440 it because he feels like he needs to. But yeah, you you you 608 00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:02.199 cann you can. Yeah, it's just yeah, I don't know, we'll 609 00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:06.119 see. I mean, talking about how Twitter is accesspool at such a recent 610 00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.719 day, it feels like it's kind of strange move, but you know, 611 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:14.360 yeah, it does feel like because it feels to me like over a Bungee 612 00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:17.639 they've come up with a set of best practices for keeping people over there sane 613 00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:24.000 and safe, and that involves a lot of not communicating until you're completely ready 614 00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:27.920 to communicate, and then when you do, it is blog posts and then 615 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.880 a handful of like produce videos and stuff like that. Whereas in the Pasty, 616 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:35.000 you know, Luke Smith would just like go and talk to people online 617 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:39.480 and on message boards, and then the bad harassment compaigns. Campaigns happened and 618 00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:43.800 they had to sue people for for being harassed and that like they're like, 619 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:47.400 this is a huge financial effort to you know, to you know, to 620 00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:52.719 prosecute these people, and we won and we're gonna get paid back for that, 621 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:54.519 But does that person have a capacity actually pay it back. We're just 622 00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:59.280 actually trying to like show people an example of what we'll do if you harass 623 00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:02.119 us. But the best way to avoid harassment is just to not put ourselves 624 00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:06.519 out there so we're not a target. So yeah, it's it's it is 625 00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:08.400 interesting to see them out here doing this again, so he must feel it's 626 00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:13.800 important. Uh, And I hope the community like Grocks that is, they're 627 00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:15.039 like, oh they are, they must be taking this seriously if they're out 628 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:19.079 there talking about this. But really, people won't be happy until the thing 629 00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:21.800 they like is the way they want it to be and that is and then 630 00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:23.960 it's then they're only happy for a little bit, and then it's like, 631 00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:28.360 well, what have you done for me lately? So again, these live 632 00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:31.159 service games are it's a tough business. That's said. I think it's still 633 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:37.480 like the alternative is hoping you get a big hit for a release as a 634 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.840 product, and there's no guarantees there either. So maybe being in these relationships, 635 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:45.039 as abusive as they might be sometimes from the get from the players towards 636 00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:49.679 the debs, uh, it still seems like that the business makes sense for 637 00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:52.800 a lot of these games. So yeah, yeah, that'st they too, 638 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:57.000 not gonna not gonna change too much. Huge sales of Zelda Tears the Kingdom 639 00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:01.960 could be what upheld Japan's GDP increase. This is from Minetendo News. Japan's 640 00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:07.840 Cabinet Office has said it recorded a two point eight percent GDP increase during the 641 00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:12.280 period of April to June twenty twenty three compared to the previous quarter for personal 642 00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:17.280 consumption. Japanese news site Menischi Shinbun reports that the growth could be attributed to 643 00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:22.199 the massive sales success of the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda Tiers of the 644 00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:25.519 Kingdom. The period for the increase of GPD was the was from April to 645 00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:30.199 June twenty twenty three. The site says that one of the Japanese Cabinet Office 646 00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:35.280 officials attributed the significant growth to large new releases of video game software from various 647 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.880 Japanese companies, including Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda, Tiers of the Kingdom, 648 00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:44.199 Capcom Street Fighter of six and a Square Enix's long awaited Final Fantasy of sixteen. 649 00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:47.239 Tiers the Kingdom was so highly anticipated in Japan that people reported on social 650 00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:52.599 networking services that they took a holiday from work to play links latest adventure that. 651 00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:57.119 I mean, boy, that's it sounds absurd. But also those games, 652 00:42:57.199 --> 00:43:00.639 especially those three games all put together around the same time, I probably 653 00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:05.239 did have like a percentage effect on a country's entire GDP, like they are 654 00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:08.360 that big, especially Tears in the Kingdom. Yeah, it's wild to see 655 00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:15.159 it kind of on paper, especially when Japanese Cabinet Office officials say it doesn't 656 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:17.800 because I mean, I feel like the gamers could say it right exactly. 657 00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:21.920 Say, when I first saw the story, I was expecting to be like, 658 00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:23.159 you know, I game came out during that month. They're like come 659 00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.480 on, but it's like, no, the cabinet officials are crediting video games 660 00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:32.360 for that. So yeah, I mean, Nintendo is still among the most 661 00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:37.159 valuable companies in Japan. There was a point where it was straight up the 662 00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:38.920 most valuable company in Japan. And I think it goes back at forth at 663 00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:43.519 times. But it's like, so yeah, that like if that's the case, 664 00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:49.719 as go Nintendo so goes about one percentage point maybe of Japan's economy at 665 00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:53.400 the most. So you know, but now now we can say bigger than 666 00:43:53.519 --> 00:44:00.519 movies and TV shows combine and helped Japan's economy. That's you're right, That's 667 00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:05.079 how I'm going to say it from now on. That's fantastic anytime that I'm 668 00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:09.159 guessing on CNN or whatever. All right, let's see Final Fantasy sixteen producer 669 00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:14.159 wishes there was only one game platform. This is from tom Ivan at VGC. 670 00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:17.199 Final Fantasy sixteen producer Naoki Yoshida I said he believes it would be better 671 00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:22.039 if there was just a single game platform. According to an IGN translation of 672 00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.679 an interview with a with a Taiwanese YouTube channel, Yoshida said it would be 673 00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:30.800 better for developers and players alike if there weren't competing console platforms. I just 674 00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:36.679 want to like reminder, stuff's translated so like like which could be softer here 675 00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:40.880 maybe apparent I did see people quot be like it was very clear he was 676 00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.000 joking in this Yeah, and exactly that as well, Like, but I 677 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.679 think it's like a joke that's like comes from a place of wo Like he's 678 00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.760 not full on Dennis diak care. He is not saying the one console future 679 00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.880 is the only future that is possible. He's just probably currently in a situation 680 00:44:55.880 --> 00:45:00.360 where he's like, yeah, I make the ship for peace, see how 681 00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:04.719 and you fucking idiots are still using car drives hard drives. Yeah, and 682 00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.199 like they have. The relationship with the Xbox has been you know, it 683 00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:12.239 seems healed since the new CEO took over and the Xbox Series S is gonna 684 00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:15.159 be you know, pretty annoying for developers that were just developing for the PS 685 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:16.679 five only and now you got to go deal with this thing that doesn't have 686 00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:21.400 enough RAM and in certain situations, like there's ways around it that you know, 687 00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:23.679 they are gonna have to make it for PC and there's definitely PCs that 688 00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:27.800 are less powerful in the Xbox Series S. But still, like he's a 689 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.639 developer. He wants things to be as straightforward as possible, and the way 690 00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:36.119 that this whole system works isn't I do think that, you know, for 691 00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:39.800 the most part, while at the time when Dennis Diek was saying this for 692 00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:45.360 people don't know. Dennis Dyak was a He's was the leader at Silicon Knights, 693 00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.360 the studio that did Eternal Darkness. He later became more famous, maybe 694 00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:51.840 not more famous, but equally as famous for just sticking his foot in his 695 00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:53.920 mouth and yeah, and two Human, two Human, and that X Men 696 00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:59.559 Dimensions game that got delisted, and for suing Epic Games and losing the suit 697 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:01.599 and all this stuff because he's like, Unreal Engines fucking sucks, I'm gonna 698 00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:06.400 sue you. And then for having a bunch of fell kickstarters. Yes, 699 00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:09.320 infamous. Uh. He he had this thing for a while. He had 700 00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:12.159 a lot of things for a while, but one of his things was the 701 00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:15.440 one console future and and for him, he's like, no, there should 702 00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:19.079 just be one console from one from one company, and that's how it should 703 00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:22.920 work. And his reasoning was pretty much like it would be easier in developers. 704 00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.320 And I think in the end it didn't work out exactly that way. 705 00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:30.800 But the PS five and the Xbox systems are pretty much the same thing. 706 00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:34.679 They're very and they are like PCs. So he got what he wanted in 707 00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:38.480 the end pretty much. So I think that like for as much as uh, 708 00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:40.559 you know, she'da is joking here. It's like, you know what, 709 00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:44.320 It's not as complicated as it once was. It's not like you're working 710 00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.880 with you know, a GameCube, is a was a power pc or maybe 711 00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:50.800 that was Xbox I can't even remember. It's like, but these whole completely 712 00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:54.400 different CPUs that are so different from one another that they're a huge headache. 713 00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.679 It's like, now this is this is all X eighty six for the most 714 00:46:57.719 --> 00:46:59.719 part, and then you got the switch over there, which you're not going 715 00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:05.199 to be putting in your yoheta Final Fantasy Games out on it all all right? 716 00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:09.199 Gioma Detro reaches out to Konami on PT's ninth anniversaries from Andrew Heaton at 717 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:14.000 Destructoid. Many of US horror fans are giddy about the fact that Silent Hill 718 00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:16.039 is making a comeback. However, the loss of PT, which is the 719 00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:21.480 Silent Hill project that was being developed by Hideo Kajima and Pan Lap Pans Labyrinth 720 00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:25.079 director Giamo de Toro as a teaser for Silent Hills way back then, will 721 00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:29.039 always be a store point, not just for fans either, as even those 722 00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.639 involves still feel the pain. Recently, people on Twitter have acknowledged the nine 723 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:36.519 that nine years have elapsed since PET was released. Many have been reminiscing, 724 00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:40.599 yeah, right, that does not feel real. Games Come. I remember 725 00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:44.960 it really, I remember sitting around I think it was my first games Come 726 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:47.800 with game Spot. It was sitting around a table at the Airbnb and we 727 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:53.440 watched the streamer beat it because yeah, I think it was a woman and 728 00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:57.599 she she was playing it and she figured out what the thing was and we 729 00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:01.639 were like, oh shit, it's a Kajima thing and that is It was 730 00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:07.360 a fun time when everyone was doing that. Uh, there's not There's not 731 00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.559 much that's been said by the director other than asking Konami, what sayest thou? 732 00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:15.480 He basically added acted Konami and said, what's say it thou? About? 733 00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:22.880 Like doing something with PT. This was followed by the phrase iromabo konamatus, 734 00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:31.199 which when translated from Latin to English says I will visit Konami Latin doesn't 735 00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:37.239 Toro and he could do what he wants. Hel God, It's like he's 736 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.000 you know, how are we fucking demons in horror movies? We'll speak in 737 00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:47.599 a line or something. Imbosoms, Yeah, sure, why not? Given 738 00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:51.880 that Silent Hill is making a triumph and return hopes will remain that Cochims taken 739 00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.480 the series well one day count itself among the many other upcoming Silent Hill games. 740 00:48:55.239 --> 00:49:00.239 Uh, Andrew heating, you gotta let that go. I listen on 741 00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:05.679 the long scale of time, the long you know spectrum of time. I 742 00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.239 could see a world in which Kojima eventually does something with Caught on Me again, 743 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:13.480 but not anytime soon. This is like like when he is in well 744 00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:15.960 into his semi retirement phase, I think, and he like lends his name 745 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.039 to a project and then actually does maybe come in does some work on it, 746 00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:24.199 but for now it is still bad beef, and I don't think he's 747 00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:28.440 gonna want to go do anything with them while he's got his own projects at 748 00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:34.320 Cojima Productions going on. Yeah he's yeah, I mean I think I think 749 00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:37.440 Silent Hills is uh, it's no coming back for a bid, is it? 750 00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:40.199 No? Yeah? Yeah, right, And even when it does, 751 00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:44.400 it's not going to be whatever that was, that they would just do something 752 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:47.760 different and have someone else take it over or something like that. You know, 753 00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:52.400 we remember g g DT's gamut towards other game Insane also canceled. No, 754 00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:57.400 I don't remember this at all. I'm clicking. I'm clicking. And 755 00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:02.559 same was originally announced at the twenty ten Spike Yeah Man developed by volition. 756 00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:07.159 Geez okay, well THHQ Rest in Peace. That must have been one of 757 00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:13.039 those games that didn't get bought when when THHQ collapsed or whatever. Yeah, 758 00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.320 okay, that's gonna do it for the News. I got a pull from 759 00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:19.239 yesterday. I'll bring it up here in a second. But while I'm getting 760 00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:22.280 that up, Lucy, why don't you tell people what's going on you have 761 00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:27.000 going on where they could find you all that stuff. So today we've got 762 00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:30.960 the latest episode of Jeff Justice Our Adventure. We've got two episodes of Cowboy 763 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:35.679 Beepup that we are recapping yesterday. Thank you so much to Jan for putting 764 00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:42.440 together the Mammoth san Diego coming on and travel Ef. I don't know if 765 00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:46.760 you could tell I'm pretty drunk at the pot. You be happy, I'll 766 00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:55.079 say that much. I'm gonna rewatch. That was fine, I think genuinely. 767 00:50:55.199 --> 00:51:00.440 The biggest point, like the biggest highlight of that night was seeing Kim 768 00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.920 Joy from the Great British Banker. I can tell that was like number one 769 00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:09.480 with the bullet for you that. Yeah. I saw her from over the 770 00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:14.960 party and I was like, yo, is that Kim Joy. It turns 771 00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.320 out that her husband, who we also met, who was lovely, owns 772 00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:21.679 Traveling Man. So if you're in the UK, Traveling Man is a comic 773 00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:24.039 book shop. And the thing is that I didn't I should have said it 774 00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:27.880 at the time, but it was so funny because Traveling Man in the UK 775 00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:31.159 has the exact birthday that I do, Like the shop was founded on the 776 00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:37.920 same day, and every year I would go in and be like, oh, 777 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:45.360 it's my bo Anyway, they Traveling Chay is a great shop if you're 778 00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:46.679 in the UK, especially the one in Leads and the one in Newcastle. 779 00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:52.719 I hope they're both still around because they're fantastic. I really enjoyed the travelogue 780 00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:57.119 Backlar being replaced by Tam. When Tam becomes the hockey Man. That was 781 00:51:57.159 --> 00:52:00.519 pretty good. I like watching like why could you guys? Like watching you 782 00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:02.679 guys make your own funko pops? Those the only funko pops or whatever want? 783 00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:09.440 Oh yeah, yes, oh fantastic, All right, here we go. 784 00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:14.599 Everybody good? See So she designed it on a touch screen there at 785 00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:19.800 their I guess they're booth at Comic Con. Uh. And it looked like 786 00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:22.079 a lot like a me character creator situation. But I guess that makes sense 787 00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:29.239 for Funco Pops. And I was hoping so in the video the screen made 788 00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:31.360 the hair not look brown. I think that the hair came out round. 789 00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:35.119 Yes, I was hoping that would be the case, so I was happy 790 00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:37.039 when you settled on the brown that looked black. So I'm like, I 791 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:39.559 bet the final version is going to look right. That looks fantastic for audio 792 00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:44.320 listeners. She's holding a bottle of wine. She's got she's got peanut next 793 00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:45.559 to you. You guess that, Yeah, you got a little pee. 794 00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:51.400 And I've also got a game controller. It has my exact outfit from the 795 00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:53.800 day before, so that worked out really well. However, at the end 796 00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:55.679 of the day, it is a Funko Pops, so it will be going 797 00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:02.039 in the back of my closet again. Next time we have a summer game, 798 00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:04.920 pest couch, bring that and we'll put it on the set. That 799 00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:08.199 would be fun. Yes, okay, the poll I have it right here. 800 00:53:08.440 --> 00:53:13.960 Me fade in real quick. Would you go see a four K transfer 801 00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:17.599 of the nineteen ninety three Super Mario Brothers movie in theaters, thirty eight percent 802 00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:21.880 said yes, sixty two percent said no, and sixty two percent of you 803 00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:28.239 are cowards. You're cowards? Yes, damn oh well, I have a 804 00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:30.719 soft spot for that movie. I would totally go see I've never seen it. 805 00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:32.199 There's the reason we asked this. There was a there's a four K 806 00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:37.360 rerelease in Japan only right now. But it's like, man, if they're 807 00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:42.639 doing in Japan like in Nintendo's not stopping it or something like that, there 808 00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:45.840 must be a possibility we could get this over here, and I really hope 809 00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:51.239 we do. I think so. All right, the new poll four tomorrow, 810 00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:52.559 I don't know. I said, have you ever seen yohp and Dennis 811 00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.800 Diek in the same room at the same time? Yes, no, they're 812 00:53:55.840 --> 00:54:00.360 probably the same person everybody, So go ahead and vote. We'll have a 813 00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:04.199 new show tomorrow here on Giant Bomb. Speaking of Giant Bomb, Uh, 814 00:54:04.679 --> 00:54:08.440 was there is there Jeff Jeff's? So there was Jeff Jeff's Today speaking of 815 00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:15.440 Yoship, we had him and Takai on for audiologs that came out yesterday all 816 00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:21.119 about the creation of EFT In final Fantasy sixteen. And also it was a 817 00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:24.639 very fun time doing that because there's a bit in the video Yoshi goes I 818 00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:29.960 didn't want to set everyone on fire, nothing like that.
