For the next hour or so, let me 3 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.320 help you sort through the world of gaming on Games Morning's Live with Me Jeff 4 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.920 Grubb Today, I'm so sick of these dragons and their dogmas too. An 5 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.359 embracer pretends it doesn't even know Nights of the Old Republic. But first, 6 00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.840 please join me and welcoming today's co host the game, Miss Mornings. It's 7 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.719 tomorrowhosseying everybody. Damn, I'm how you do it? It's dregs Day. 8 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.359 I am ready. Indeed, let's pawe I well, I mean dregs can 9 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:46.719 be a party. Yeah, listen, if you're not going to party during 10 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:51.679 Dregs Day, what else are you gonna do? You know, it's Friday. 11 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:56.119 Dregs Day is always Friday, and I have Friday for me is cheap 12 00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.840 day, which means I'm gonna eat some food. Is gross? Hell yeah, 13 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.239 actually it's not gross, but it's like, you know, not particularly 14 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.239 great feet. Usually I eat about fifteen to twenty chicken wings for dinner. 15 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.680 Okay, Yeah, that's a good that's a good night. That's a good 16 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.879 che fine, Like yeah, yeah, it's fine, Like it's still chicken, 17 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:18.719 it's still high protein, right yeah. But like the I you know, 18 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.120 before you start like thinking about what you're eating, it's very easy to 19 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.159 be like it's chicken, it's high in protein, but it's chicken wings, 20 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.200 and like it's fried and it's way more fanny than you realize. Yeah yeah, 21 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.159 yeah, yeah, but I still roll with it. It's my one 22 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.319 week like a killer. So you know that sounds pretty good, that's exciting. 23 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:44.000 That's that's my idea of a party on Dregsteak. I am this weekend 24 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.959 going to be in a city where they have a st market Taco Bell, 25 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.840 and I will be eating the Taco Bell chicken nuggets at Dan Reichert's house. 26 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.400 And I cannot wait to see what this is all about. He's had him 27 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.760 three times, he swears by him, says they're very good. What do 28 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.359 you think of when you hear Taco Bell chicken nuggets. I've never had Tacobo 29 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.960 chicken nuggets because they don't they're only in Minneapolis right now, apparently. Okay, 30 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:14.879 okay, I've never had meat from Taco Bell because it's but but the 31 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:20.280 idea of Taco Bell doing chicken nuggets. I understand the the weirdness of that, 32 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.639 and I fear it. I don't know. Having said that, Taco 33 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.400 Bell has, at least for me as someone who doesn't eat meat from Taco 34 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:38.280 Bell, it's got a robust non meat menu. Like surprisingly, when I 35 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.879 went there for the first time, I was like, this is wild, 36 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.319 Like I've seen vegetarian restaurants that don't have a menu as good as this. 37 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.599 I mean, if you're entertearing beans and chet, well, if you're vegan, 38 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.360 you probably can do this, but if you've justtarian beans and cheese, 39 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.719 is great. They don't take the piss and just do that. They have 40 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.759 like actual vegetarian versions of most of their menu. They do it. It's 41 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.080 like they actually put a little bit of effort into it. Like the last 42 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.199 time I checked, when I went to the one in the East Bay, 43 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.080 the vegetarian menu was the same size as the normal menu. Well, so 44 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.199 it was like, oh wow, these guys actually actually did it. So 45 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.680 on the one hand, I trust Taco Bell Taco Bells, but it takes 46 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.879 something that you would think this is not that doesn't sound good and make it 47 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:29.680 good. But also the idea of the chicken of them doing chicken, it 48 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.120 seems like it's very antithetical to what I tackle. Bell is. Yes, 49 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.439 I think you nailed it right out of the gate. I fear it. 50 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.280 I fear it, but I also respect it. I fear and respect what 51 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.759 they're doing here, and I'm gonna give it a shot and going to see 52 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.639 how it's gonna go. I kind of can't wait. Yeah, that's for 53 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.919 Extra Life this week, and everybody be sure to tune into that. I'll 54 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.919 be here on giant bomb dot com. I have a request actually place in 55 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.800 one of the documents. But you know, we're currently in the phase where 56 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.759 we're talking about a lot of games that we want to ross in the face, 57 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.560 where we have like seventy five documents too, So please tell me exactly 58 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.800 this is. This is a game that I would like you guys to play. 59 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.280 And I know that Dan's not going to go out of his way to 60 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.560 he'll forget or something like that, but I would like you to put it 61 00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:17.920 on your to do list to download this game and make sure that you play 62 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:23.639 it. It's a game called robo Dunk. Yeah, okay, robo Dunk, 63 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.399 yes, yeah, so it is you know NBA jam with robots. 64 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.639 Sounds good. There's going to be a bunch of you in the same room. 65 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.480 It costs like fifteen dollars on on Steam. I would like you to 66 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:41.959 play this game together on the stream, and it will it could if it 67 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.160 goes the way I think it will go, could become a topic of discussion 68 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.000 at the end of the year. During a live show that is happening in 69 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:57.079 Los Angeles. I get your tickets yesterday because they're sold out. That was 70 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.560 wild. It was whacky. It was like, we haven't announced it publicly, 71 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.000 like we haven't said the tickets on sale, and most of them were 72 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.160 gone, and we were like, uh so, shout out to the community 73 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.519 for showing up for that assively. We're being told they're trying to do more, 74 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.600 but just no promises everybody. It really yeah, honestly your best bet 75 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.680 now if you were really intending to go, maybe hopping the discord, talk 76 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.279 to someone who might have bought an extra ticket. You just don't know. 77 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.800 I would start swapping with community. That might be your best bet right now. 78 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.000 But it is. Yeah, also is genuinely heartwarming to see that. 79 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.040 I was like, like cards on the table, I was worried. I 80 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.959 was like, if no one shows up, you know, I'll do people 81 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:42.360 want to see us live or you know what, like being transparent for a 82 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.120 lot of people here, we're not the Giant Bomb crew that they grew up 83 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.519 with and know and love in a different way. We're a different group of 84 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.040 people. So I was like, people are going to come out for that, 85 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.360 and it sold out so fast, and it was it was a genuinely 86 00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.680 like affirming moment to see that, Oh people doo us as Yeah, well, 87 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.879 I think they appreciate, like, you know, there's a certain aspect 88 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.000 of keeping Flames alive and all that while also doing our thing in our own 89 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.079 way. I think people appreciate that, and it's nice to see. I 90 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:18.360 appreciate the people who you watch us the dude is out there more than they 91 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.600 realize. Yep. Absolutely, it means a ton, just to like remind 92 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.439 people what we're talking about. December ninth and Moroccan Lounge. This will be 93 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.040 live streamed so you can watch it online. This will be the culmination of 94 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.000 the Game of the Year discussion. Most of those discussions will still happen in 95 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.360 podcasts leading up to this, but this will be the big finale where we 96 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.720 do crown our game of the year. We'll have a couple of topics, 97 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.319 a couple of other things. We'll try to make it as special as possible. 98 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.399 But a lot of it did come together last minute, so it's like 99 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.040 we're doing what we can with what we're with what we have. So yeah, 100 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.079 again, just let's show out, let's hang out, let's have a 101 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.959 good night, kind of wrap up the year and then have a good get 102 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.279 good momentum going in to twenty twenty four and all that. And this is 103 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.360 going well enough that it's the kind of thing where we feel good about it. 104 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.759 We feel good about like the efforts that we put in, and now 105 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.240 it's very easy to tell that story to other stakeholders and be like, let's 106 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.560 try to do this again elsewhere more often, more frequently, bigger venues, 107 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.240 more sponsors that can make all this make more sense. So this just means 108 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.680 a lot. We're going to keep it going, everybody and really looking forward 109 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.759 to it. All right, let's explain what we do here most weekdays, 110 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.839 I, Jeff Greb will help piece your gaming life back together. That includes 111 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.480 breaking news and maybe even some of our own original reporting for all these topics. 112 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.120 I'll get the input of a bona fide expert who will make me look 113 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.920 smart. If you are watching live on Twitch welcome, You can always listen 114 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.959 to the show later on podcast feeds by searching for Game Mess Mornings, or 115 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.040 find therss on giant bomb dot com. You can also catch the show later 116 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:51.439 with chapters and timestamps on YouTube. Hello YouTube. All right, we have 117 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.040 a lot to get into, so let's start the morning Mess with Dragon's Dogma 118 00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:00.519 two showcases coming this month. This is from Jordan Membler at VGC. Capcom 119 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.759 has announced a Dragons Dogma two showcase for later this month. The presentation will 120 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.000 take place on Tuesday, November twenty eighth, and we'll start at one pm 121 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.360 Pacific time. According to Capcom, the stream will show brand new gameplay reveals 122 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:18.199 in an info packed fifteen minute live stream directly from director Hideaki Atsuno and producer 123 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.920 yoshiaki I. Hear Bayashi. There we go herera Bayashi. The game doesn't 124 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.279 currently have a release date, but it was recently rated in Saudi Arabia, 125 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.639 suggesting a release date may not be far off. And this is we had 126 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.720 a conversation about this on this show, like it's getting rated and we haven't 127 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.279 heard anything about it, so they're going to announce it soon. While this 128 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.919 feels like all of that is lining up, it also lines up with Capcom 129 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.000 saying they were going to have a big game in the first quarter of next 130 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.360 year that they expected to sell very well, and everyone's like, Monster Hunter. 131 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.240 It's got to be Monster Hunter, because I mean, I just did 132 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.039 not think Dragons Dogma two could be coming this soon. What are you expecting 133 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.679 from the showcase, Tam, I mean, like it is Capcom, so 134 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.360 I kind of expect them. Hope. I'm hoping now they so show a 135 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.039 nice big chunk of the game, like the loop even like show show us 136 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.039 what it is that we'll be doing in this game. And but Capcom has 137 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.320 this thing where they're like they're one of the few publishers and developers that gets 138 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.480 away with like just showing up and being really excited and showing a trailer and 139 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.480 calling it there and being like we're doing it, and then that's the point. 140 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.200 I hope it's more than that, but given like the past few have 141 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.480 been similar to that, my hope now is like, here's what it looks 142 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.320 like. And I really think about the potential of a Dragon's Dogma two, 143 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.320 and I feel like I start to like theory craft games in my head. 144 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.000 That sounds way more exciting than anything that they're capable of. But like the 145 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.960 last few years, Capcom has made significant strides in taking the Monster Hunter games 146 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.840 and bringing them to console and whether it's Xbox you know, and PS PlayStation 147 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.639 and PC with Frontier or with you know, the the Switch game as well, 148 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.159 and there's been a lot of like really interesting things they've done there. 149 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.200 At the same time, you know, Eastinosan is known for for his like 150 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.919 action games, and the last Devil May Cry was great in terms of combat. 151 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.320 Like I see this game becoming this nice, amazing mix of everything that 152 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:28.639 Capcom does amazingly well, like combat action into into and depth filled action game 153 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.080 mechanics and then this kind of like the monster hunting aspect to it. And 154 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.600 the reason I think about it for this game is because that's what Dragon's Dogma 155 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.240 is in a lot of ways, Like you're hunting these beasts in but your 156 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:45.039 the mechanics of engaging with them are not like the methodical slow pace of Monster 157 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.960 Hunter is closer to something like a Devil May Cry where it's like, you 158 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.919 know, you're bouncing around and doing stuff like that. So I hope that 159 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.399 it's a case of them sitting down and showing us, Hey, this is 160 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.039 what this game is and this is how it's gonna play. Maybe it turns 161 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.440 out it's exactly the same as last game, but like, I want them 162 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.360 to really unpack it and do like a thirty minute kind of gameplay demo with 163 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.559 a breakdown of the systems and have eats and on designers and story stuff in 164 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.120 there and just ready let us, you know, give us the lowdown on 165 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.559 it. And I hope they're like, uh, sorry about that, Netflix 166 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.879 there is we needed to make the cash. Yeah, and we're like, 167 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.879 okay, we get it. We get it, you know, all forgiven. 168 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.399 Yeah, Yeah, I think that I'm right there with you. Dragon's 169 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.720 Dogma two feels like a game where it could simultaneously be this huge step forward 170 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.000 for the series and for Capcom, and it's the story of itself as a 171 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.080 publisher right now, where of course, this is a publisher that's on top 172 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.480 of the world, that has figured out how to get the most out of 173 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.720 properties that were already very popular, and knew how to get the most out 174 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.120 of Resident Evil, knew how to get the most out of Monster Hunter, 175 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.840 and it deserves kudos and credit for figuring that out and making those even bigger 176 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.639 than they ever were before. Dragon's Dogma is a little bit different, where 177 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.559 I think it's a game that people that it has its fans and people do 178 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.440 enjoy in many ways. I remember at the time, people, oh, 179 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.000 this is kind of like what if Skyrim was made in Japan. In some 180 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.600 ways, it's like, okay, yeah, and it's not exactly the right 181 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.240 way to describe it, but I get what people meant by that, but 182 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.440 it didn't. It didn't have that huge impact of a Monster Hunter. And 183 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:20.440 yet it feels like Capcom's realizing we have the chops to take something like Dragon's 184 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.759 Dogma, a game that was good, that does have fans, and take 185 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.080 it to the next level. If we can just do this and that and 186 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.039 make it feel important, and it feels like they're on the precipice of that. 187 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.759 At the same time, it could just be more of the same, 188 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.279 And I think that in some ways that that also might work to the same 189 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.360 effect, because I think the gaming audience has changed in a lot of ways 190 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.039 where we are just ready we're more willing to accept games that have like weird 191 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.919 Japanese aspects, and she'd be like, you know, you know what, 192 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.879 no, please give us more of this. We didn't realize what we had 193 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.639 when we had it. And now the fact that you're still doing what you're 194 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.159 doing, we are ready to come to you and play the game as it 195 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.480 is. So yeah, it's like, okay, I'm very curious to see 196 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.399 how this is going to play out. I think some people have had a 197 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.399 chance to check the game out. It's to some capacity. I know VGC 198 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.120 went hands on with it a little bit, and that might have been like 199 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.360 when Andy was in Japan. I'm trying to remember if a bunch of other 200 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.399 people played it, but he wrote so far Dragon's Dogma who certainly feels a 201 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.159 lot like the game that has come before it. That we have to bear 202 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.000 in mind that it's still the first playable build at a relatively early part of 203 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.159 the game. As long as it remains weird for all the reasons, it's 204 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.200 reasons it's most hardcore fans have championed it all these years. That's no bad 205 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.919 thing at all. Now, yeah, we've not had a game like Dragon's 206 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.559 Dog lessons Dragon's Dog exactly, So I feel like that that is a big 207 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.679 plus in the in the court. Yes, Now, how do you feel 208 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.120 about this game coming out like relatively soon, because again I still find that 209 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:56.080 very surprising. I think I remember hearing rumors about this game for much longer 210 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.720 than like when the rumors were like solid right right now. So it was 211 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.080 like they came out and they dude put on the T shirt and that was 212 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.720 it, and that was a little bit ago. There were like whispers around 213 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.279 it before then, like in the lead up to it, for a few 214 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.879 months there were whispers like our Dragon's Documents real, And I think it was 215 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.759 in that Capcom hack and so we kind of for a very long time. 216 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.240 I believe it was in the Capcom hack. Yeah, but I also remember 217 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.120 there being like an extended period of like, you know, there's a level 218 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.519 before the whispers where like people in the industry are like, have you heard 219 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:35.200 anything of those? One of those? Have you? So, like I 220 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.240 feel like it's been in development a little longer than we might be aware of. 221 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.240 But again, like Capcom, it's weird. Capcom generally, I think 222 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.519 back and Capcom is like I feel like they operate on the same level as 223 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.799 a like a PlayStation where you don't find many of their games like boggy and 224 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.279 unfinished and weird. They like when they're done, the games that they put 225 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.799 out are polished. Whether they're high quality is a different matter, but like, 226 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:03.679 at least I can't think of very many Capcom games that you turn on 227 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.679 you're like, this is busted. Yeah. Capcom had a weird phase where 228 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.080 like there was typos, they spelled Capcom wrong on the side of a Yeah, 229 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.679 that's the kind of thing, like, yeah, that's what they do, 230 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:16.919 like that, that's just that's just nice. I like that. I 231 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.480 want them to spell things wrong. Yeah, I want them to accidentally leave 232 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:30.039 the G and watermark only. Yes, Yeah that was like that's that's the 233 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.559 good ship for me. But I feel like, regardless of when it comes 234 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.799 out, I'm pretty confident that the game that they put out will be solid 235 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.879 and won't be like busted and weird, like even the even the games that 236 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.639 like the Monster Hunter games that even the switch masks on a game where you're 237 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.240 like, how does this fit on this game? Like rock Solid I never 238 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.320 had any issues with it ever. Engine and they it's they know that thing, 239 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.840 man, and they can find games on it, and everyone's like, 240 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.879 god, we can't make our own engine. We're retreating unreal and Capcom's like, 241 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.919 we're good, okay. I mean, obviously Capcom has been doing this 242 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.879 for a very long time, and I think investing in themselves and believing in 243 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.039 themselves has led them to a point where it's like, no, we do 244 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:14.039 have the people on staff that are the technical wizards and understand the artistic needs 245 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:18.320 of game designers and developers, and so they're building tools with that mindset, 246 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.720 and it's making all the difference in the world, and to the point where, 247 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:23.480 you know, the Ari Engine, whenever I see a game made in 248 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.279 that reach for the Moon engine, I am just like, Okay, I 249 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.440 have total confidence that this is going to scale up and down and that it's 250 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.840 going to actually be kind of a technical morvel. And so that has been 251 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:38.159 a great benefit to their design so that they can express themselves and take on 252 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.440 all these projects and get them out rote relatively relatively quickly, which is why 253 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.639 it's easy to believe that Draggon's Dogma two is actually coming out pretty soon, 254 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.440 because yeah, even yeah, we did hear whispers for a very long time. 255 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.720 These days, it's like, yeah, but I mean those whispers often 256 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.360 often mean, like we're talking four or five six years, and maybe we're 257 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.159 getting pretty close to that. But to have a go from announcement to release 258 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.639 this quickly is opressive, and that does seem to be the case because Dragon's 259 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.240 Dogma, Dragon Dogma. Yeah, Dragons Dogma two's release dates seemingly leaks as 260 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.839 the game is rated in Europe. This is from Tom Ivan at VGC. 261 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.000 Dragon's Dogma two release date will seemingly be Friday March twenty second, twenty twenty 262 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.200 four, my birthday. That's according to Yes gott be forty one baby. 263 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:26.079 That's according to European classification body Peggy, which is listing the unannounced release date 264 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.599 alongside in eighteen rating for the game. Capcom now appears likely to confirm Dragons 265 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.720 Dogma two release date next week when it holds that product showcase for the PS 266 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.920 five, Xbox Series X Slash S and PC title. According to the Japanese 267 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.119 publisher, it will include that brand new gameplay that we talked about in all 268 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.799 of that. Well, yeah, okay, so this is that big game 269 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.799 from Capcom next year. I mean, it's all the pieces are here that 270 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.000 man we usually have, They usually have one major game in the early. 271 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.759 Yes, they definitely do, and they confirm for sure that they would that 272 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.880 they said they have an unannounced title, and it's like that was I don't 273 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.000 even remember a lot of people guessing Dragons Dragon's Dogma two. At the time, 274 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.000 most guesses were Monster Hunter, but then people had a bunch of other 275 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.359 guests that they could well, it's not Monster Hunter, it's this or this, 276 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.519 and I just don't definitely, I'll call me too, Yeah, yeah, 277 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.759 sure, yeah, the ufol Joe is back and those things before Dragon's 278 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.480 Dogma two, a game that we knew existed, and I just so it's 279 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.480 again a little surprising. But when we lay it all out like you did, 280 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.039 I'm like, yeah, okay, let's go. And the the confidence 281 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.519 to like, we're going to reveal this game in late November basically December, 282 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.200 release it three to four months later. That to me says they know what 283 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.880 they have, it's gonna be big, and this is going to be the 284 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.359 game they expect to sell really well all throughout next year. Do you think 285 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.960 you know, based on what we know now, which is you know basically 286 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.079 very little, that this can be that next big franchise that is a maybe 287 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.359 not on the Monster Hunter tier. Maybe not on the Resident Evil tier, 288 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:55.799 but the tier right below that. I think it could be on the I 289 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:59.559 don't think yeah, maybe not Monster Hunter. I feel like the main obstacle 290 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.079 E faces it just doesn't have the like the years and years of refinement and 291 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.359 coming, you know, entry after entry, building up a reputation almost and 292 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.599 having that word of mouth be able to do a lot of the marketing work 293 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:17.240 for them in the way that Resident Evil and Monster Hunter has. However, 294 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:22.519 I do feel like it could be Capcom more than any developer has a has 295 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.599 a good chance of like taking something that you'd look at and be like nah, 296 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.640 I don't think that's going to bang and making it like like a real 297 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.920 big success. I think the timing of its release is a big part of 298 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.799 it. I think March is they usually have games come out earlier in the 299 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.640 year, and traditionally it has been when stuff is kind of quiet, a 300 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.480 lot of that stuff, But I don't think March is quiet. I think 301 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.039 there's a well, the lead up to it isn't quiet. I think by 302 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:55.119 that point Suicide Squad is out, Final Fantasy is out, so there will 303 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.599 be games going. But if anything, that just kind of like serves to 304 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.599 this, you know, warm up the audience in a way to get into 305 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.319 a like a yeah, get into a like a game buying mood and a 306 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:10.240 game consumption and playing and talking and being in the lifestyle again after the Christmas 307 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:11.880 break. So I feel like if that game comes along and it's like, 308 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.759 hey, I'm a big beefy boy, I have got a lot of game. 309 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.440 I've got monsters, you can climb up and down and slash with big 310 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.920 swords. Your mates will be here and we have pawn and people will be 311 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:32.559 like what and no porn a w ns. Yeah, that's what we've got. 312 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:37.039 And they're really the stars of the show, their ponds. Pawn stars 313 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.480 is actually what we're calling them now. Yeah. I never really played that 314 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.720 much Dragons Doll and I tried it a couple of times, but I would 315 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.960 hear stories of people talking about their their ponds, and I remember think Justin 316 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.359 McRoy calling him his special boy and sending this special boy out to his friends 317 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.519 to do stuff for him, and I'm like, Okay, I got to 318 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.920 check this game out, so I might try to rush in some Dragons Dog 319 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:10.720 before he called it his special boy, his pamas. I appreciate you tim 320 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.559 oh boy, Okay, you know what, Let's move on. That's a 321 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.920 perfect jumping off point right there. PlayStation Portal has sold out two days after 322 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.480 launch. This is some from Sophie McAvoy at games in This Tree dot biz. 323 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.759 The PlayStation Portal, which launched on November fifteenth, has already sold out 324 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.200 in the UK and the United States. As noted by Eurogamer, it seems 325 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.720 as though that scalpers may have already hoarded a bunch of the supply, and 326 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.880 they're listing it for between you know, two hundred and ninety pounds, with 327 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:42.880 some reaching over three hundred pounds. Uh yeah, how you feel about this? 328 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:47.519 This is this is I think this is people More people bought the PlayStation 329 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.920 Portal than I think people even expected to when I first got announced. This 330 00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:53.519 thing is that like had a slow build to the point where like, you 331 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.200 know what, seems like it's doing what it says on the ten and it 332 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.839 looks pretty like it's doing it pretty well. I'm gonna get it. It's 333 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.359 two hundred do yeah. It was a pretty easy conversion for a lot of 334 00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.200 people. I think, what do you how do you feel about it? 335 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:10.720 Before we do that? Just just as for a Karate Tron and then the 336 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.680 PlayStation. Paul or I. It's really weird because it's it's it's a device 337 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.319 that on paper you look at it and you're like do I need this thing? 338 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:25.519 And and then you get it and you're like, oh, I can 339 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.559 understand how it fits into life. Reviews for this are out right, Yes, 340 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.000 they're out there, so I can say I've been using one and it 341 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:40.119 is really nice. Like the thing that is the issue is like it can 342 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:45.359 have very shaky quality. Right. I've had situations where I'm like sitting in 343 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:51.319 front of my PlayStation on my like blazing fast Internet and it's like three sixty 344 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.599 p and I'm like, well, well, how why, And I think, 345 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.640 like, but I've also had situations where I'm like sitting across the apartment 346 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:03.519 and it's like crystal clear and I'm playing Yakuza on it and it's a great 347 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.200 time. I think the thing that it really has going for it is is 348 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:14.359 that like it feels really good. It's like it feels like a premium device, 349 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:18.640 and it just seems to slot into the way I want to play games 350 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.400 now. Certain games anyway, for example, I like being able to stick 351 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:29.160 on a show or a podcast or a video podcast or a YouTube video and 352 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.680 just grind out, you know, some stuff in Spider Man for total I'm 353 00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:36.279 going to collect these achievements and I have to pay too much attention. I 354 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:37.000 can, I can, like, you know, just play these games on 355 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:45.119 the side. I feel like that as a as a way to enhance your 356 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.039 PlayStation experience is surprisingly compelling. Like it is is something that I can. 357 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:52.680 I feel like you can see on a shelf and go, oh, you 358 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:57.799 mean I can play my PlayStation five, like in really good quality without pogging 359 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.039 up the TV. That's and it's in a price point that's I personally, 360 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.799 I look at it and I'm like, that's a bit expensive. I feel 361 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.279 like for the average person, not average person, but like the people who 362 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:15.119 like buy consoles and games like every now and then, this feels like a 363 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.519 thing that you can splash out on that will have a meaningful impact on the 364 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.039 way you play games. Right, It's not a no brainer for everybody, 365 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.400 but there's an audience out there that I think it's in that no brainer price 366 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.599 range that is mostly acceptable. It could have been more expensive and just that 367 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.920 made sense for anyone, but two hundred twurs it's like there no people there 368 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:36.799 were like you know what, Yeah, I can make this work. M 369 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:40.880 yeah, exactly. I I think like also, I think this is the 370 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:45.319 kind of device that Sony is a little more like measured with its approach, 371 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:51.039 Like it's it's not like I feel like there's two ends of the spectrum. 372 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.559 You get one which is like the PlayStations, the new PlayStation PlayStation five, 373 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:57.200 they're like very confident. They're like, we're going to sell a bunch of 374 00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.599 these, We're gonna make a bunch of these, We're gonna keep making a 375 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.279 bunch of these, and then we're gonna put it out and that usually works. 376 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:06.319 And then they have the PlayStation VR where they're like, we're gonna sell 377 00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:07.359 a bunch of these, We're gonna make a bunch of these, and we're 378 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.000 gonna sell We're gonna put them out, and everyone's like notugh acts And that 379 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.240 is the other end of the spectrum, YEP. And this I feel like 380 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.839 it's somewhere in the middle, whether like it feels like the PSP or the 381 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.960 PlayStation VA almost whether like I think we all sell a bunch of these, 382 00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.039 we will make a decent amount of them, and then we'll see what happens, 383 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.079 and I feel like with that approach, it's more likely to be a 384 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.160 success than if they, you know, put all their eggs in the basket. 385 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.039 Yeah, let me ask people like darker and say, can you mention 386 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.519 how ugly it is? I don't think it's ugly. Like I come around 387 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:47.400 my hand, it looks like weird and freakish in pictures. The moment I'm 388 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:48.599 holding it, I'm like, oh, this is great. This is really 389 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.640 nice. Right the screen sort it melts into your hands because you're just looking 390 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.839 at the screen. Yes, yes, I don't think it's like stunning, 391 00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.359 but like I have seen devices that look way grosser than this thing that I 392 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.839 used, used for days and days and like almost every day. I would 393 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.000 have no problems pulling that out at like a friend's house and being like, 394 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.920 whoop, here it is, and they'll go what is that? And then 395 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:12.359 I'll show them the screen and they'll go, ok, Okay, that's very 396 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.680 enough. It's a really nice I don't think it's an OLED screen, but 397 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:21.640 it's still very very sharp. I think it's I don't think it's an I 398 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:26.680 think it's like just a very good like LCD. But it's bright and when 399 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:27.599 you look at it and you have it in your hands and you realize, 400 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:33.160 oh, it's just two it's just a PlayStation controller, PlayStation five controllers play 401 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:34.680 in half. You'll laugh at it for a second, but then be like, 402 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:40.759 actually the PlayStation controller feels nice to most people. It hurts my hands, 403 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.440 but like I'm a weird case for it. Yeah, but yeah, 404 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.880 I feel like it's it's a really sharp looking device. Yeah yeah, And 405 00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:52.680 I'm I'm like, I want to get one still. I think I was 406 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.279 going to get one, but now it's sold out, so it's like, 407 00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:57.839 Okay, I guess I have to wait and see if I can track one 408 00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:03.039 down. Eventually, I'm not going to pay scalper price. They let me 409 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:06.039 ask you what we'll move on from this year pretty soon? Oh you got 410 00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.839 the two fast two for yours kids out there. There was a time when 411 00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:14.960 like every Nintendo console would launch and they would be supply constrained, and people 412 00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.640 were like, this is a deliberate shortage to drum up interest. And you 413 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.400 know, most most of the time, like for most businesses, that that's 414 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.759 that never happens because anytime that there's a shortage, you're leaving a lot of 415 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.359 money on the table to the point where even if you make too many and 416 00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.279 you have to like burn your stock, that makes you more money than if 417 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.519 you don't have enough to sell to everyone who wants one. But in gaming, 418 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.880 I do think maybe sometimes they're like, let's just make it limited at 419 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.319 first, build up that hype, especially going into the holidays. Part of 420 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.160 me still believes that conspiracy theory. You think that maybe happened here a little 421 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.640 bit. I don't think it's it's I think it happens, but I don't 422 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:57.640 think the motivation is to like build up a hype around it. I think 423 00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:02.720 what it is is like, let's be measured in how much we put out 424 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.079 there and then respond to the demands and the demands are and by doing that 425 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.839 they can look at and be like, oh shit, people want this, 426 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:14.519 and because there's so few of it, a natural side effect is like people 427 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.559 are way more hype for it, and then outside of their control, you 428 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:21.559 know, the stuff happens where everyone wants one because no one can get one. 429 00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.319 But initially I feel like it is is a bit foolish to be like, 430 00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:27.160 oh, they are they are not putting any of these out there because 431 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.480 they know that the people are gonna get They're gonna want it more. I 432 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.079 don't think that's how it works. I think that these do you feel in 433 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.799 this capitalist healthscape that we live in, there's a company out there going let's 434 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.759 less of these for a little while. It's like, I don't think general 435 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.200 and almost never. Yeah, I feel like I feel like it's a balance 436 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:49.279 of let's not over commit to manufacturing costs, let's see how it is and 437 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:53.880 best case scenario, our initial run of the cells through completely and we have 438 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.880 a short period of time where people are desperately trying to get one, so 439 00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:03.039 that when we do make them available, it's there and they'll snapop. That's 440 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.240 right. Yeah, the answer is yes and no. And I'm right there 441 00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.039 with you. All Right, We're gonna fade black real quick for a break, 442 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.119 everybody. When we get back a lot more news, hanging out with 443 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:22.079 Tam for dragsday, I see us in. All right, We're back and 444 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.920 embrac Or Boss gives no comment on the status of status of Star Wars Knights 445 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.720 of the Old Republic remake. This is from Zoe Hanley and Destructoid, as 446 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:37.240 initially reported by IGN Embracer group CEO Lars Wingefers commented during a financial presentation that 447 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:40.279 he has no comment on the state of the Star Wars Knights of the of 448 00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.720 the Old Republic remake. He also states, anything I say to to this 449 00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:47.960 becomes a headline, and of course that's true. The remake of the two 450 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:51.279 thousand and three RPG Star Wars Nights Seal of the Old Republic was announced back 451 00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.720 in twenty twenty one during a PlayStation showcase. Since then, we've received re 452 00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.599 releases of two of the games in the series, and then everything kind of 453 00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:02.519 hits. The Rocks re releases didn't go very smoothly, and the intention of 454 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.720 adding restored content to the second game, which badly needs it, was canceled. 455 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.079 In twenty twenty two, Bloomberg reported that the remake might have been put 456 00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:12.480 on hold. This was following the production of a demo which reportedly didn't go 457 00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:18.240 over very well, and the subsequent firing of the art and design director and 458 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:19.640 people. I remember at that time. Then the rumor was like it got 459 00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:25.079 taken away from a Spire who has done a lot of these Star Wars remasters 460 00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:29.000 and moved over to Saber Interactive. There's been rumors that's moved elsewhere since then. 461 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.839 To. I just want to like clear it up. This game is 462 00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:37.200 not being worked on right now, just full stop. This game is not 463 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.960 being worked on in any way at any studio. Embrace of passays Mariah Carey 464 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.240 when she gets asked about j LO. She's like, I don't know. 465 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.440 I don't know her. I don't know, I don't know who that is. 466 00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:49.359 Yes, exactly, that's a lot of this person is. That's what 467 00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.079 a million percent of what's happened here. But yes, I looked into it 468 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.839 a little bit. I mean, I don't think this is news to most 469 00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:56.880 of you. I think you guys can piece this together. If you've been 470 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:03.359 listening to this and Sony like stepping away and scrubbing mentions of snub Nights of 471 00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:06.440 the Old Republic from social media and YouTube, I think you can put two 472 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.240 or two together there. But just confirm it. This game is not being 473 00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.359 worked on right now. You know what. EMBRACA doesn't know fucking anything. 474 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:18.440 Yes, okay, because the absolute clusterfuck of a situation on this, I'd 475 00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.880 like, I I feel like one day someone's gonna do a big, in 476 00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:26.440 depth report on the damage that EMBRAC that has done to this industry just by 477 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.880 rocking up and being like I'm gonna buy everything yep, and then just being 478 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.720 like, oh, we didn't take this through. Here's just a It's like, 479 00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.440 let's put there the perspective just how crazy this is. This is the 480 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:45.400 company that bought Lord of the Rings. Like just they own Lord of the 481 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:49.640 Rings. Who cares about Lord of the Rings? They have Legacy of Cain. 482 00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:55.119 He said it me, Okay, Weather Ring's straight trash. Next to 483 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.519 the legacy of Kles. I don't disagree with that. Fucking hell like a 484 00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:06.319 set legacy Cane free Sindorler dot com. Send me your emails if you're a 485 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.200 Lord of the Rings nerd, I I like Lord of the Rings and I 486 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:12.079 respect you, but don't be talking about it next to the Legacy of Kane. 487 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.839 You'll just get a form reply about Legacy of the Kane if you if 488 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:22.160 you send him that is gonna slip my throw my sleep and you can watch 489 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:30.160 that live. Okay, this this game's not being worked on right now. 490 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:37.000 Do you think Embracer Group ever gets around to actually Embracer Group is slowly going 491 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.880 to collapse? Ye? What I think is gonna happen, Like there's no 492 00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:46.039 shot. I feel like someone steps in and maybe even like Disney and goes 493 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:52.480 give us that back. Now, yes, we will murder fiscally all of 494 00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:55.759 you. So this is the money. We don't forget who we are. 495 00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.839 We are Disney. So yes. The only two entities that could step in 496 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:05.279 our Sony, which had the like co publishing rights. They talked about this 497 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.240 during that that Sony shoecase showcase, made a big deal about it and Lucasfilm 498 00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:13.880 Splash. Disney and Sony seems like they want nothing to do with this. 499 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.680 That seems to be what I've kind of like heard echoes of that of what 500 00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:21.799 they went absolutely nothing to do with this going forward. Yeah, it's not 501 00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.599 worth it. It's like they they why why put all that time effort money 502 00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:28.440 into an IP that you don't own? Right, And it's like they could 503 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:34.079 they could put this like this is a complete random poll, but like illustrates 504 00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:36.680 it. They could take the time, money effort, they would they would 505 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:40.240 put in that game and split the you know, the the bounties of it 506 00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:44.359 with multiple other developers. Or they could be like, well if we put 507 00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:49.599 all that money in a new unchared game, Like it's like that's entirely they 508 00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.000 got no one to split that with. And you know they have success with 509 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.440 like other Disney properties with with like Spider Man. But yeah, but that 510 00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.599 like that doesn't like, let's not nor the fact that every one of their 511 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.440 studios are busy already, Like yeah, it starts like spin one up just 512 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:05.920 to work on someone else's ip. You're one hundred percent right, that's very 513 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.440 unlikely in a situation where they're like, oh, yeah, we'll do some 514 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:12.239 of the work, we have publishing rights on that. You do the development 515 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:14.719 work, and you know Disney does a little marketing. Shit, Yeah that's 516 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:16.440 cool. But if it's like it's us and them, no, thank you 517 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:23.280 very much. And then for Lucasfilmy, this was appealing to them because it's 518 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:28.960 like, hey, no Aspire an embracer, they're going to handle all this. 519 00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.280 Don't worry, Sony's on board. They're going to handle the publishing. 520 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:35.800 Lucasom could sit back and work on a bunch of other things. And now 521 00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:39.920 the only reality of this game getting made is Lucasfome completely takes it over and 522 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.119 does all the work themselves to spin it back up. No way this game 523 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:49.039 ever happens. You know, that's my opinion right now, maybe that changes, 524 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.599 maybe some huge factor comes into play that we're not considering right now. 525 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:55.400 But as it stands right now, this game is like deader than dog shit, 526 00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.960 and it's just very unlikely anyone should ever expect it to come out. 527 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:04.039 Yeah. I just imagine John Drake, like you know the picture meme of 528 00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.719 Wesley Snipes crying with a gun. Yeah, that's how imagine John Drake put 529 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.639 this out of its misery exactly. Yeah, a little bit of a side 530 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.840 tangent to this. Aspire claims Kotor two Switch DLC was canceled because of a 531 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:22.039 third party object objection. This is from Jordan Midler at VGC. Was it 532 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.199 Yoda, Yeah, it's like like the meme where it's like I could send, 533 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:27.840 I could send, Yoda's like consent, I do not. Yes, 534 00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:34.719 it sounds like you consent, Yo, You're going He's like, no consent. 535 00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.920 No. Uh. Publisher Aspire Media has said that canceled kote Or two 536 00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:42.239 Nintendo Switch DLC, at the center of a class action lawsuit, was down 537 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:46.480 to a third party objection. The switchport's announcement trailer, which which published a 538 00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:50.480 couple of weeks ahead of its June trug This is your gimmick. Okay, 539 00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:53.159 back there, she's she's nice, you swear. She sounds like she's just 540 00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:58.599 either screaming non stuff or she's singing a very long singing to herself. But 541 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:02.320 hey, emmy got on the volume to about half. Everyone's worried about you. 542 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:06.840 All right, Okay, thank you, get out. She's home sick 543 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:08.800 from school today, so she's just like in her own mood, and she's 544 00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:13.000 like, I just want to make sure she's not like screaming for help. 545 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.760 Back then, you're like a spy, isn't making any DLC for this fucking 546 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:22.119 game? I mean, can you say, tam, I'm okay now she's 547 00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.360 she looked at me like I was a crazy I will have nothing to do 548 00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:29.960 with that. She's going to think you're a monkey. The whole story here 549 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:32.320 is some third party stepped in. We don't know who, but this is 550 00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:37.320 Aspire trying to get out of this class action lawsuit where they're they're in trouble 551 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:38.440 for saying they were going to do this. They advertised they were going to 552 00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:43.840 do this and then it didn't come through. Yeah yeah, I mean, 553 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:46.559 like I got nothing to add to this. It's just like who Wilso wants 554 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:51.880 this like, well the Coach or two DLC that they were promising was like 555 00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.519 all of that unfinished stuff that got cut because they rushed this game out originally 556 00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:59.440 and like Matyrs have her, some have replaced it on PC and people are 557 00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:00.840 like, oh, this does like really flesh out, flesh out the game 558 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:05.280 in a real way. But hey, if you want that, go get 559 00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:07.840 a personal computer. Stop trying to play this game on the switch. I 560 00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:10.360 mean whatever they advertised it. If you want to sue them, be my 561 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:13.960 guest. I don't give a fuck. But if you really want to play 562 00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:15.719 this stuff, there is ways to do that and go ahead and make that 563 00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:20.400 happen. I just wish we knew exactly what the story was here other than 564 00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:24.360 this vague third party objection. The Last of Us Part two or yeah, 565 00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:27.840 the Lastest Part two could be coming to PS five. This is from sman 566 00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:31.519 Galiso Similane at Destructoid. As reports of a second season of the Last of 567 00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:36.920 Us circulate, there is also word that a native version of the Last of 568 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.119 Us Part two could come to the PS five. The news comes from PlayStation 569 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:44.760 Data minor PlayStation Size, who posted a somewhat cryptic tweet that got confirmed later 570 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:49.360 to be referring to a native version of the last most Part two tim least 571 00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.280 surprising anything in the world, right, they makes perfect sense. Yes, 572 00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:54.199 they have a show. They want to have a new version of this out 573 00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:59.639 on the shelves that just as PS five on it, and maybe has they 574 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:02.639 already updated this game to have like sixty frames per second on PS five, 575 00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:07.400 adding a few other things, putting on a disc having that PS five logo 576 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:10.840 on it, calling it Director's cut or definitive edition. That's just going to 577 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:15.079 sell an extra few hundred thousand copies and they love that over there, right, 578 00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:19.719 easy, easy peasy. I do wonder what kind of I wonder now 579 00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:23.800 that they they know the success of Lost of Us the TV show on HBO, 580 00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:28.679 and they know that there's a massive, massive fan base for that, 581 00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:32.119 who is now eagerly going to be looking for Lost of Us two Part two. 582 00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:37.599 I wonder if there's any adjustments they make to more closely link them, 583 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:39.800 if you know what I mean, Like do they do the do the Spider 584 00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:45.679 Man thing where it's like we changed abby and at least face models so they 585 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:50.239 look a little more not that extremeption, Like do they yeah, or do 586 00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:55.199 they have like based on the or like the sequel to they hit TV, 587 00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.960 HBO show or something some way to you know, get buy in. Yeah, 588 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:02.320 like with books. We have with books, get adapt to the movies 589 00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:06.000 and then you go to the airport and you see like the people from the 590 00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:07.480 movie on the cover of the book, and they're like, oh, the 591 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:10.679 book that inspired the movie. I could see that happening. Yeah, that's 592 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:14.320 what I feel like a lot of the hard work is done by just calling 593 00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:16.519 it Lot of Us, having a Lost of Us with two in it out 594 00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:21.199 there, part two in it, and then feel like part one and part 595 00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:24.599 two all in one, like that's happening eventually already. I feel like the 596 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:29.880 thing that they could do is like here season one of the show with the 597 00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:34.000 first and second game, like a big Last of Us compendium style thing. 598 00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.239 One million percent Yeah, And I mean I think that's the direction Sony's been 599 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:39.039 trying to head in for a long time, Where're like, hey, we 600 00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:44.039 have this, we have Sony Pictures, and we have the game studios, 601 00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:45.599 and we have PlayStation and all these things should be working together. It's like, 602 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.719 well, it is kind of all working together with the Last of Us, 603 00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.559 So how far can you push it and actually take advantage of that synergy. 604 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.280 Yeah, they're gonna find oh, you just stick a you just stick 605 00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:00.039 a you know, a code for season one on HB or something like that 606 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:05.519 into the game box and be like put stick ernother said get Last of Us 607 00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:07.920 Season one here. Yep. And I think that would be very effective, 608 00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:12.559 especially in the holiday season where people are looking for gifts and like, oh 609 00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.800 they love that Last of Us. Yeah, Or I want to give I've 610 00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:16.760 talked to this person about the Last of Us. I'll just give this whole 611 00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:22.000 thing to them and now they can have the full experience. Yeah, Sega 612 00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:24.119 wants to sell five million copies of Persona six in a year. Is from 613 00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:29.880 Alex Hopley, a game reactor. Basically Sega CEO in an interview just said, 614 00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.920 hey, we expect this to be the best selling or the fastest selling 615 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:38.000 Persona and yeah, it should be, right Tam. They've continued to grow 616 00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.639 and Persona six Fields like it's going to be the game that comes out. 617 00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:44.280 And when Persona five came out, it was like, oh, this is 618 00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:45.559 a really big deal. Persona six Fields, Like this could be one of 619 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:51.960 the biggest games of the year, right, Yeah, Persona six, Persona 620 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.840 five was released in twenty sixteen, and by the end of twenty twenty two, 621 00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:00.280 according to a very quick search, had sold around nine million copies close 622 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:07.239 to nine million copies, so getting a year in a year. But like, 623 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.159 now it has the recognition. It's not that weird, creepy ship that 624 00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:15.480 your anime we'd friend plays. It's the game that everyone knows and loves. 625 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:22.960 It's been spin off to hell and and now I feel like people are going 626 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:27.079 to be paying attention to it. I feel like if they come out strong 627 00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.119 with another kind of like, hey, we've got another unique esthetic. We've 628 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:35.159 got this cool like you know, presentation and that kind of stuff there, 629 00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:38.800 and and they do enough to evoke Persona five while making Persona six his own 630 00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:44.679 thing, I think that's very very attainable, like very very achievable. Yes, 631 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.639 And I mean especially if they if they multiplatform it in the way that 632 00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:54.440 they have done with you know, all the other Persona games, if they 633 00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:58.119 if they are out there, like we've got an Xbox version, now, 634 00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:01.400 we've got a Switch version, now we've got a Cloud version, We've got 635 00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:05.800 all these versions ready to roll. I think they're good. Yeah, And 636 00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:09.440 Persona's been the one where it's like Sega and Atlas have been they've been kind 637 00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:12.599 of bad at it for a really long time, or they were bad at 638 00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.000 it about getting these games onto all these platforms, and now they say they're 639 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:19.559 promising to put them out on all platforms as quickly as possible, if not 640 00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.199 at launch, and you're right, that will have a huge effect in terms 641 00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:24.360 of them getting what they want here. My question is when do you reckon 642 00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:28.119 we see it? Yeah, I mean I always was like, oh, 643 00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:30.840 maybe we might hear about this game before the end of the year. Tam, 644 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:31.840 I got a kid crying. I'm gonna go deal with that real quick. 645 00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:34.960 Can you vamp real quick? I'll be right back. I can do 646 00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:40.280 that. My question is when is metaphor Refantasio coming out. That is a 647 00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:46.239 name that I had to google just because it's so bad. That's a name 648 00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:52.679 that's such a game I'm looking forward to. I do love Persona obviously huge 649 00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:54.360 Persona fan. I don't know if you can see it there, but where 650 00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:57.840 is it? Can you see it? Let me zoom out. I'm sure 651 00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:01.159 you can just barely make out you see that there. That's an extremely limited 652 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:08.559 artwork piece of Joker. That is I believe number one of twenty five and 653 00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:14.320 number twenty five is owned by Lucy, so that's a little bit of law 654 00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:17.800 for you as well. All right, thanks dam appreciate that. Do you 655 00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:21.960 tell everybody everyone's your your dark, deep, darkest secret. Now? I 656 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.800 was telling him how I've got like a super exclusive Persona five joker art piece 657 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:35.239 that we got from the Persona five art gallery which was in la which was 658 00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:37.639 like just for a couple. We flew down there, so fun story about 659 00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:44.440 that. We actually, me and Lucy flew down there just to pitch the 660 00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:52.280 team on on on letting us come to them in Japan to do like a 661 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:57.440 a an episode of audiologues on there. We met with Shigan Soji Masan, 662 00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:00.880 who's the artist, and we're like, can we come to your studio and 663 00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.519 do this episode of a thing with you? And they would They like looked 664 00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:08.079 at our pitch and me and Lucy are like insanely into persona, so we 665 00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:12.639 had like this very extensive pitch for them, and by the time we were 666 00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:15.800 done, he was like, yes, let's do this is oh fantastic, 667 00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.440 and like we bought those pieces there while we were there, so I have 668 00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:22.119 number one and then she has number twenty five. I think, oh it 669 00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:23.800 might be I have twenty five and she has one. Basically we have the 670 00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:27.880 first and last ones either way. Very yeah, that's very very cool. 671 00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:32.159 Yeah all right, let's wrap up the news here. Travis Kelcey tweets revealed 672 00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:39.159 he loved GoldenEye hated call of dookiecrate at koktaker. Who the fuck is Travis 673 00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:44.800 kel Travis Kelcey is mister Taylor Swift? I believe, yes, mister, 674 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:47.760 this is the guy David Taylor Swift. He's a football player. Another person 675 00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:52.079 is dating Taylor Swift. Yeah, yes, they they come, keep coming 676 00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:54.239 out of the woodwork, tam listen. Okay, so what we was saying 677 00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:58.599 is Taylor Swift is gonna announce a new album soon. Basically, oh yes, 678 00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:00.880 Oh it's gonna be. And there's gonna be a lot of like football 679 00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:02.519 anthems in there. Damn. So wait, let me look at this, 680 00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:07.559 like you are very online? Is this not a very online thing? Is 681 00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:10.199 this something else? Is Taylor Swift in a different universe than being very online? 682 00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:14.000 No? No, I feel like Taylor. I mean this with the 683 00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:17.920 utmost respect. The Swift is out there. I understand your love of this 684 00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:22.960 of this as someone who is terminally online, I haven't basically set up a 685 00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:27.679 fill or in my mind that is like mute Taylor Swift. So I see 686 00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:31.159 Taylor Swift stuff happening and my my brain just filters it out. I I 687 00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:36.119 do not, and it's only because there's so much of it. I think, 688 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:39.280 Norman Ship. This does feel like normal shit. This is normal ship. 689 00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:43.800 This is like if it's like Taylor Swift is popping off and getting on 690 00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:49.960 some drama, great, I know that stuff. But if it's like, 691 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:57.119 uh, you know, Taylor Swift is wearing Prada or Taylor Swift is banging 692 00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:00.559 this uh football player, I'm fine, I'm good. I can ignore that. 693 00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:04.760 I personally I am not a super Taylor Swift fan. I feel like 694 00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:07.400 it is the diary of a white girl being sung into a microphone. But 695 00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:12.000 I know people love that shit, which is people play good for you man. 696 00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:14.760 There is a whole chivel bit about it, like if it's a white 697 00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:17.119 girl singing it, you can get away with anything. Yeah, you know 698 00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:21.800 what, some people love that stuff. I respect it. I fear it. 699 00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:23.280 I fear you people. I feel like you're a little bit of a 700 00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:27.280 cult. But if you want to be there. If you're having a good 701 00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.000 time and you're not being hurt, go for it. That's fine. I'm 702 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.719 happy for you. I support you. Mike Manadia is this is on a 703 00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:35.360 plane. He wanted to yell at you in all caps. I want that 704 00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:37.800 go toward to DLA. That's what you want, Mike Manotti. Thank you 705 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:42.280 very much. Tam, all right, we're going back through Okay, this 706 00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:44.880 is the thing that's happening with Travis Calcer right now. People are going back 707 00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:49.159 through his tweets and he's he's kind of like a wild tweeter from like twenty 708 00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.840 ten. Uh and this one is just like, I don't know, there's 709 00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:54.719 a whole bunch of funny ones, but this one was from twenty ten January 710 00:46:54.760 --> 00:47:01.360 thirty. First hashtag nineties tweet forget Call of Ki and Halo Galo. It 711 00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:06.960 all started back with Double O seven GoldenEye on the sixty four. These games 712 00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:12.639 just aren't the same book. He deleted this tweet, and Tam, I'm 713 00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.719 like, okay, list is he secretly Chadwarden? Yeah? It's what man, 714 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:21.000 That's like exactly what I imagined in my head. The Chad Warden energy 715 00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:25.719 on this is so he's talking about that triple tam p s triples, making 716 00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:31.000 like sh you're like this that needs like that little control. It looks like 717 00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:37.719 a dill do Travis Kelcey. It's people mad at Travis Kelcey. No, 718 00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:40.159 that's no one's even mad about this because they're like it was twenty ten, 719 00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:45.599 that's like forty years ago, and you get you get the sense that like 720 00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:50.039 he was a dumb jock. And I think what people are doing is like 721 00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:52.840 they're imagining what if Taylor Swift had met him then she would have hated him, 722 00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:55.840 and that makes it more romantic that they're dating now. And I think 723 00:47:55.880 --> 00:48:00.800 so people love this ship sweet though, and I'm deviis Oh did he deleted 724 00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:04.400 the tweet? He deleted the tweet? Yes, ah, man, I 725 00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:09.480 did everything right and they indicted me. Come on that my man tweet. 726 00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:14.079 Come on, Travis, Travis, don't be ashamed. We all okay, 727 00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:16.119 listen. I don't think I've ever said halo gaealo, but we've all tweeted 728 00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:20.519 some ship man. Yeah. Oh boy, all right, listen, let's 729 00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:23.159 we were Chad Warden, he's a people keep saying he's a real estate agent. 730 00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:28.480 Now, could you imagine I check it on him every Now we should 731 00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:32.400 we should get him to do a top ten games for us. I've I 732 00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:37.039 would I might generally try and genuinely try and find this guy. Yeah that 733 00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:39.159 I would love that. And he was like literally good morning because of this, 734 00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:43.559 Like okay, I'm I was looking up Chad Warden stuff on it a 735 00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:46.280 video of him at like a like a Chuck E cheese or like some in 736 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:50.079 and out where he's just it's just a video of him and his mates having 737 00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:53.480 a meal. He's a normal guy. He's just a normal dude, Like 738 00:48:54.360 --> 00:49:01.760 I think, like he he's weirdly a very good theorical like sched for that 739 00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:07.599 one thing. It was the time and place it was like before like trolling 740 00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:12.000 was widely known people. Chad Wardim was this guy that would just like talk 741 00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.599 like a tough dude about how much the PlayStation three was gonna. He was 742 00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:21.079 passively toxic, hugely toxic by today's standard. Like he was like he said, 743 00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:30.039 some ship that one million getting canceled. I'm reading his his his his 744 00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:35.360 history. Chad's first video of the three main video game consoles the PlayStation as 745 00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:38.559 the best selection of games. The Nintendo we controller resembles an artificial penis and 746 00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:44.360 is therefore unfit for gaming that we should copy how to get good games? 747 00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:47.639 Yes, for three sixty selection of games is so lackluster that it may as 748 00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:52.480 well have no games at all. This is then it goes girls Can't do 749 00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:58.639 Ship, which is the bit where you're like what he said, and then 750 00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:02.480 he said five hundred ninety nine dollars the PlayStation three is an easily affordable person. 751 00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:07.840 And then from his third video, Super Mario Galaxy, which he dismissed 752 00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:17.119 as toilet repair based game whose protagonist has entered the country illegally that will make 753 00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:27.239 cry for, which he dismissed for his cowardly portrayal Satan Mari Mario Party series, 754 00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:30.559 which he dismissed for the absence of, among other things, hydroponically grown 755 00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:37.440 marijuana, four young alcoholic beverages, and the sipping of syrup known as the 756 00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:44.920 purple dank. Orden also regards the inability to eat mushrooms resembling characters as disappointing, 757 00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:50.079 referencing psychedelic mushrooms Super Mario Smash propos Ball, which he dismissed for lacking 758 00:50:50.719 --> 00:51:00.159 representation tail discrimination. Yeah, God, Holy it's like people like we're laughing 759 00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:08.000 about this. Now. Back then people were ready scott college campuses across the 760 00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:13.440 country. We're gonna burn this dude in effigy, like it was why we 761 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:19.199 was that we was annihilating the competition, like it was not even funny, 762 00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:22.400 how bad the Nintendo was pissing on everyone else, and this guy was out 763 00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:28.679 of there acting like it was dog ship. People were so mad because it's 764 00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:34.119 like it's on paper, you're wrong. But he would just be like enough, 765 00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:37.960 He's like there's no black people and smite brothers and everyone be like what 766 00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:44.159 listen, Chad? When he's right, He's right, all right, let's 767 00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:45.760 uh, let's start wrapping this up. I got a poll here and in 768 00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:49.280 a second, actually it's gonna take a second. Get that up, Tam. 769 00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:51.159 Why you tell peoplehere the coun find you what you have going on? 770 00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:54.360 All that good stuff? Oh man, I just think about Chad Warden. 771 00:51:54.440 --> 00:52:00.960 Now, yeah, we have Boncass Revenge is coming up today later today, 772 00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:04.880 which should be fun. I am on that. One of my lives just 773 00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:07.800 turned on on its own. Fine, Oh wow, that's burning you, 774 00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:16.400 Chad Warden. Chad war chats. So we've got that one bonecast Revengeance. 775 00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:21.760 We film. We did a Jeff Jeff, so hopefully that's well by now. 776 00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:28.280 If not, it should be up soon. We uh where did upf 777 00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:32.159 Wright? We had that years today? Yeah, we got T and T 778 00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:35.800 today, right, Yes, T and T on a Friday, Mario Kart 779 00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:37.760 in about an hour. Yeah, Thursday night throw down on a Friday. 780 00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:43.039 Exactly. That's what we're doing because we can Okay, yeah, we're allowed 781 00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.519 to and we can do what we want. And then next week is going 782 00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:52.519 to be a short a week, so please forgive any disruptions to to the 783 00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:57.599 kind of content rollout is Thanksgiving, so we're gonna we're not gonna do the 784 00:52:57.679 --> 00:53:01.119 thing that everyone tries to do and be like let's make content extra in advance. 785 00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:06.320 That sucks, man, that's just yeah, I'm really not supposed to 786 00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:08.440 work. It's a fourday weekend, fucking joy. And like the early part 787 00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:13.920 of my career was like no Thanksgiving, no, you gotta there's games coming 788 00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:16.599 out. I'm so glad the industry got away from that, and like in 789 00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:20.800 October, what are we doing? Yeah, so much better. So we'll 790 00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:23.159 be short a week next week, but yeah, we'll still be around. 791 00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:28.679 And then obviously we mentioned it earlier. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets 792 00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:34.559 for the LA show. Really sweet. Jeff Bechlat and various other people are 793 00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:37.440 working extra hard to speaking to the venue and being like, can we get 794 00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:42.920 more tickets please? Yeah? I think what like transparency. They didn't expect 795 00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:45.079 us to sell out immediately. They didn't know to tell them, yeah, 796 00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:49.920 yeah, yeah. They gave us a very conservative kind of like you know, 797 00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:52.159 approach to how many seats we could have and stuff, which is it 798 00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:58.159 was that capacity basically, but like I and which is understandable considering we've never 799 00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:00.679 done anything like this, and and and it's sold almost immediately. So now 800 00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:04.840 we're like, hey, can we get any like standing? Everything about this 801 00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:07.280 is just so we're kind of lucky to have it because everything came to the 802 00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:10.239 show last minute. Yeah, exactly so, but we are trying to get 803 00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:15.239 more. So the best way to keep an eye on that is to join 804 00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:16.960 the discord. We usually put it in there as soon as possible. We 805 00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:22.039 do message it out earlier and other places, sorry not earlier in other places, 806 00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:25.119 but the discord is where like we are most immediately able to speak directly 807 00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:30.639 to the folks that would be interested and go for it and let them know 808 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:34.199 that they can buy tickets again. But yeah, we're trying to work out 809 00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:37.360 if we can get any standing room kind of stuff, and it shouldn't be 810 00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:42.719 like tiring. It is a relatively short show, not sure, but like 811 00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:44.719 it's like an hour and a half to two hours. Yeah, so you're 812 00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:46.960 not going to kind of stand but we could use terms of time as well, 813 00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:51.079 So expecting in a ninety minute show, you know, it'll be jam 814 00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:53.800 packed with stuff. But like I worst kitch scenario, it is being live 815 00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:57.760 streamed. Yes, it's going to be. We hope it's going to be 816 00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:00.880 live stream you know, technology permitting, So yeah, you will be able 817 00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:04.360 to see it. At the very least, we will afterwards have an archive 818 00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:07.119 of it up, so you will definitely be able to experience it, and 819 00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:12.079 hopefully we'll be able to get some merch around it up as well to commemorate 820 00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:15.400 it and stuff like that. Yeah. I went to the Gerard Show still 821 00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:20.159 my friend, I don't care what anyone says. At Pax and his thing, 822 00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:22.360 it was kind of just kind of setu pretty similar, like there was 823 00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:23.639 a bunch of chairs, you walked in. You got tickets, but there 824 00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:25.800 was standing room in the back, and I don't know if this place will 825 00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:28.800 have like a bar so and you can kind of lean against or something like 826 00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.760 that. That and it's like this is totally comfortable and fine. So hopefully 827 00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:35.800 it works out along those lines. Yeah, And the final the final thing 828 00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:37.800 is there's a new episode of spot On coming out today where Jeff was on 829 00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:42.960 as well once again. Second weekend o Row and we talked. It was 830 00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.719 a really interesting, fun conversation. I think we talk about like the game 831 00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:52.079 awards and categorization around awards and whether it might be a little broken and time 832 00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:54.559 for a rework as you check it out. Yep, it was a lot 833 00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:59.159 of fun recording that, so definitely watch that everybody, all right, Paul 834 00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:04.760 from earlier this week yesterday, actually, are you more excited about Suicide Squad 835 00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:07.519 after its re reveal? Ten percent said yes, twenty six percent said no, 836 00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:12.000 and sixty four percent said I don't care about that game at all. 837 00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:15.800 I am still like I know that I shouldn't be, but I'm still like 838 00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.480 hopeful for it. I mean, listen, it's rock Steady. It's gonna 839 00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:22.760 be a fun game to play at least. Yes, that's exactly what I'm 840 00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:28.079 going on. I hate that it's basically a games of the service type. 841 00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:30.360 Yeah, I hate that. I wish it wasn't that we shouldn't feel this 842 00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:34.199 way about the next scape of rock Steady. The nigscap of rock Steady should 843 00:56:34.199 --> 00:56:37.920 be like like without caveat, very exciting, and so it's weird there's so 844 00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:44.039 many caveats here. I'm just hoping that, like within that model that I 845 00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:49.039 thoroughly dislike, is a game that is still charming, well written and fun 846 00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:52.320 in the way that they make games like that. They it feels like, 847 00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:54.119 my hope is like they are still the studio that they have always been. 848 00:56:54.360 --> 00:56:59.559 They've just got this annoying you know, executive from Warner Bros. Being like, 849 00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:01.880 you have so make this a game that can never stop being played. 850 00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.679 Yeah, and I hopefully comes down and we all play. You know what 851 00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:12.719 this is. It's just a good time. Good listen to me. If 852 00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:14.960 it works out like the Avengers game. I know that's like said like the 853 00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:16.400 Kiss of Death, but it works out like the Avengers game, where's like 854 00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:20.360 playing this through by yourself or maybe with friends for a little bit. It's 855 00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:22.880 a really good time, dude. And then it doesn't just it doesn't survive 856 00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:24.679 as a life service after that, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, 857 00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:29.000 yeah, I don't care. Yeah. I played a ship ton of Avengers, 858 00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:32.320 like with me and Greg Miller and Goldfob and a few others as well. 859 00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:36.719 Like we would jump in here and there and play it together and it 860 00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:39.440 was it was a fantastic Lucy would jump in for one session and realize that 861 00:57:39.559 --> 00:57:43.599 she could not play it. It was like, I'm done. But yeah, 862 00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:45.920 it was fun. I had a good time with Avengers. It was 863 00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:51.320 just like it just failed miserably as a live service game. And if that's 864 00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:54.519 what happens with this and the quality is like a little bit better, yeah 865 00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:59.039 fine. I like I looked at that trailer. I watched both those twenty 866 00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:01.719 minute things and I off multiple times and I was like, that's that's funny. 867 00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:06.159 That's good. Like the King Shawk wearing a little green riddler hut. 868 00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:07.880 I like that a lot. I'm sold, man, I'm sold. Yeah, 869 00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:12.360 I don't know. All right, new poll for Monday. We will 870 00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:15.480 be back Monday. I talked to some Scottish dude says he tried to take 871 00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:17.440 your spot today. He's like, can I be on the show today. 872 00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:22.960 I'm like, get out of here, Jordan mid He's like them busy for 873 00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:25.480 months, like writing guides or something, trying to make money for our website, 874 00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:30.440 and like you discussing me to up me. Uh huh. And I'm 875 00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:34.920 like, yeah, I damn house. Uh huh. So I said, 876 00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:37.960 come on Monday. It's so Jordan and me we're be hanging out on Monday, 877 00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:43.400 where we will discuss would Taylor Swift have enjoyed playing Golden Night with Travis 878 00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:45.599 Kelcey Yes or no? Go ahead and absolutely no. Taylor Swift is picking 879 00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:50.280 all job and still losing. I think she went at a real miserable time 880 00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:53.239 with that. Uh and and then uh and then when she got together with 881 00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:58.280 him later it would have been and everyone like, oh okay, boy, 882 00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:00.159 Tam already wrapped up. We have going on the site here on Giant Bomb 883 00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:02.679 everybody.
