You'll be don't bear, it's the
internet. You're busy. Let's do this

2
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.640
for August thirty, twenty twenty three. For the next hour or so,

3
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.239
let me help you sort through the
world of gaming on Game Mess Mornings Live

4
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.359
with me Jeff grub Today, we
might get a new switch soon and three

5
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.559
D Sonic is more timeless than two
D Sonic. But first, please join

6
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.960
me and welcome me today's co host
the Game Mess Mornings. It's Lucy James.

7
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.159
Everybody, Lucy, how are you
doing? Hi? I have a

8
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:45.280
cald but otherwise I'm okay. You
You sound like you're getting better, but

9
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.119
I bet it's but it doesn't feel
that way. It's just still like kind

10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.880
of Oh yeah, I mean Monday
morning in the meeting. You heard how

11
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.200
bad it was. Yes, No, I feel much better than I did

12
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.799
on Monday. And it's not Corona
good, which which is good because I've

13
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:07.239
been testing every day in prep for
packs. It's not COVID. It's just

14
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.359
a really miserable cold. So I
got from games Calm. But honestly,

15
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.239
if that's the only thing I got
from games Calm, I'll take it.

16
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.439
Yeah, I'll take it. Lucy, What do you mean by that isn't

17
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.079
like COVID. Okay, COVID all
right, I thought we established no COVID

18
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.840
And then she like, that's the
only thing I brought home, Like what

19
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.879
would you like? You're bringing home
a dark passenger, Like, what's going

20
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.439
on here, dysenterry? I don't
know that German dysenterry that hits different?

21
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:40.239
For sure? Does tiny German beers
hit different? Let me tell you,

22
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.159
Oh that I totally believe. But
yeah, game's gone. Was it a

23
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:49.959
good time? It was a really
fun time. I have missed games Calm.

24
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.079
I haven't been since twenty eighteen.
It's good to know that it is

25
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:59.920
exactly the same and I uh yeah, like got to see all the usual

26
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.120
suspects for being in time. It
was really good to see all the folks

27
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.239
of the UK and Europe who we
used to kind of like pal around with.

28
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.639
But honestly, like it was just
a fun show we had. I

29
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.879
thought our schedule was pretty light and
then it was not. It was really

30
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.560
busy, but good to see some
really cool stuff. You know, got

31
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.560
to see all the like I got
to see that stuff and presentation. Good

32
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.800
to see it. But the fall
our TV show, the biggest highlight for

33
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.599
me obviously was Alan Wake two.
We went off site, which was even

34
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.759
better. We got to we want
to go down Sam Lake's Sam Lake?

35
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.360
Did you have a lake that you
went to that'd be good? At a

36
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.319
little lake house? Now, they
actually did it in a little theater that

37
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:50.759
was not anywhere near games Calm.
They made like posters like in Universe posters

38
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.680
of like Alex Casey and Alan Wake's
books and stuff, and then they showed

39
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.520
all the game playing stuff. I
guess pretty recorded demo, but they showed

40
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:04.039
it all on like a big TV
screen, a big cinema screen even,

41
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.960
and which was a very awesome way
to do a preview, and it was

42
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.759
very chill. I was looking at
my Fantasy Critic League that I do with

43
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.400
my community on my discord, and
uh I yeah, pick I counter picked

44
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.800
Alan Wake two, which means that
I was expecting it not to come out

45
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.080
this year. This was at the
beginning of the year I Wake, So

46
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.919
there's no way that is actually going
to come out this year, And now

47
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:29.199
it's like the most anticipated game for
so many people, and I'm so boned.

48
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.319
I'm so sweet. So when you
saw that they were delaying it,

49
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.199
you were like yes, by ten
days. No, no, there's no

50
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.360
cheer. Yes, I absolutely,
it was just like because there's no money

51
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.159
involved or anything like that. But
it's so it's just like for bragging rights.

52
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.960
Oh yeah, absolutely, and it
was just like the Honestly, now

53
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.879
it looks like one of the worst
picks. It's very frustrating because Mike manah,

54
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:53.319
he has we have two leagues and
he's on the other one. He

55
00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:00.479
spent all of his almost all of
his budget drafting Final Fantasy seven Birth or

56
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.759
whatever the second one is, and
everyone comes like, that's not coming out

57
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.919
till next year. What do you? Looks such a bad move. And

58
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.680
now he's like projected to win his
league. So it's like it's flipped.

59
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.680
He looked like the bone head and
now I look like the complete bone head.

60
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.319
So oh well, you know what, I'm just gonna play our wig

61
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.600
to and enjoy it. That's that's
the solution, exactly. Just have a

62
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.040
good time with your video games,
etcetera, etcetera. One more question.

63
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.839
You mentioned that like you're powering around
with like old UK friends and stuff like

64
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.519
that. Did you do you now
in those situations bring that American air of

65
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.120
superiority and arrogance to those situations or
do you just slide right back into being

66
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.399
you know, UK buds? Oh
you go by k to being UK buds?

67
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:45.199
Okay, okay immediately, But I
did have right, Yes, I

68
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.120
did see a couple of people go, uh, what happened to r accent?

69
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:56.959
Don't no comment, no comments,
We're sorry you're lucy everybody. Yeah,

70
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.319
but also after a few tiny beers, none of that match. Yes,

71
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.279
of course. All right, we
got a lot to happen in today,

72
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.000
so let's explain what we do here
most weekdays, I, Jeff Greb,

73
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.759
will help piece your gaming life back
together. That includes breaking news and

74
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.319
maybe even some of our own original
reporting. For all these topics, I'll

75
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.040
get the input of a bona fide
expert who will make me look smart.

You can also catch the show later with

79
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.839
chapters and timestamps on YouTube. Hello
YouTube. All right, we have a

80
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.399
lot to get into, so let's
start the morning mess with a Mario red

81
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:38.720
edition switch oled has seemingly leaked.
This comes from Chris Scullion at VGC.

82
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.839
Nintendo is set to release an all
red version of the switch Old, according

83
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.680
to a reliable leaker, deal Labs
user Bill bill Con, who has been

84
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.959
consistently revealing unannounced products for years,
says the product will be called Nintendo switch

85
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.000
O led Model Mario Red. Addition, according to the report, the console

86
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.240
will have two red Joycons and a
red DOC that won't feature any other Mario

87
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.839
branding. Of course, the two
main models of the switch Oled are a

88
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.800
version with two white Joycons and a
white and a white DOC, and a

89
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:11.160
version with a Neon blue Joycon and
a Neon red Joycon and a black DOC.

90
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.920
Bill boo Coon's report claims the Joycons
and the docks for the new Mario

91
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:20.519
Red edition will be the same shade
as the standard Neon red Joycon. Lucy,

92
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.560
this sounds like Nintendo. Hey,
we got a big two de Mario

93
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.560
game coming out that people are going
to buy a lot of we and Mario's

94
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.519
big obviously right now, you know
it's always been big. But the movie

95
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.839
people who are gonna be looking for
Mario stuff, Let's do the bare minimum

96
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.079
of what we can call something Mario
and just paint something not even paint something

97
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.279
red. Just take the red paint
we already have for the Joycon, paint

98
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.639
a dock that color and call it
a day. It's uh, we're probably

99
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.600
gonna get this at that Nintendo Direct
tomorrow. But it's a bit underwhelming,

100
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.959
but also it kind of feels like
the kind of thing that would happen at

101
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:56.480
the end of us a console generation, right, I mean at this point

102
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.959
and I say, this is someone
who got a switch oled last week,

103
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.600
So I'm I'm really out of the
times. Yeah, I got one.

104
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.040
Thank you to rock Star. They
sent me one for to play Red Dead

105
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.079
on because of that whole weirdness where
you have to have an old led to

106
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.480
play. We call that the mic
Manadio effect. Who I think, who

107
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.600
we believe is responsible for that.
Yes, yeah, so I only just

108
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.120
said at my old ed like the
other day while I was feeling sick,

109
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.920
and I was like, damn,
this is so much nicer than the other

110
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.240
one than my day one launch switch. Oh, it's very nice compared to

111
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.600
that. Yes, that's screen.
It's so good. I'm actually kind of

112
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.399
yeah, like kicking myself and not
kind of going old a little bit.

113
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.720
Sooner. But whatever, well,
I mean, I don't think that's your

114
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.240
fault because that Nintendo. Because it's
like the only upgrade was the old ed

115
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.399
screen, and it's very easy to
be like do I really need all the

116
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.839
time? Know? The buttons feel
nice on the package, It's like they're

117
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.079
the thing that they're selling it on. Like, yes, once you play

118
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.079
it, it's like you do feel
day difference. It's it's like the opposite

119
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.680
of how it normally is with Nintendo
stuff. We're like, oh the new

120
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.759
three, yes, it's they're like
they hype up all the other stuff.

121
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.639
You're like, you're gonna love the
analog nub that no game ever used,

122
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.759
and I was excited about Kan was
a fool, But it's like now,

123
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.639
but this one, they're like,
it's just the old screen. It's like,

124
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.720
actually, it's nicer in a lot
of other ways as well. But

125
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.199
at this point in the life cycle, I feel as well, like just

126
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.680
for Nintendo, it's just like screw
it, yeah, throw it at the

127
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.680
wall, whatever, do whatever,
get get rid of these things that we've

128
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:31.040
got lying around. I'm amazing amazed
that it's like not as if it is

129
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.240
just red. I'm kind of amazed
that it's not as made up as the

130
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:43.960
Animal Crossing one. Yeah, the
Zelda one or the didn't like Splatoon Hard

131
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.759
one and you know, like Original
Switch, yes, and so was the

132
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.080
Animal Crossing one. But yeah,
in terms of the Olett, the Zelda

133
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.000
one wasn't Olett, I think.
So it's like they have done that a

134
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.399
little bit. So yeah, I
mean, they know how to make this

135
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.919
console look nice when they are doing
the branding. I suppose I like the

136
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.519
red that they use on the Red
Joy Con and I think it probably will

137
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:13.679
look pretty nice. But I definitely
wouldn't mind a little bit more Mario branding

138
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.000
on there, especially if that's you
know, if people are getting it with

139
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.360
their Super Mario brothers, wonder that
would be cool. But yeah, this

140
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.519
is them just kind of doing a
little bit of something to have a new

141
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:26.759
system, you know, a new
quote quote quote unquote new system for the

142
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.960
holiday before we get into the next
gen for them, which is going to

143
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.799
be coming next year. And so
the idea of them not going all out

144
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.720
is just not surprising in the least. I guess maybe at this point,

145
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.159
you know, of the previous console
and portable generations, they were putting out

146
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.039
stuff like Gameway micros and and and
other like similar things like that, where

147
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.879
it's like, oh, they were
still making relatively big revisions. They were.

148
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.279
They clearly decided not to do that
with the Switch, and so this

149
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.879
is what we're gonna get. And
I mean, I'm very happy with Myolette.

150
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.679
I wouldn't upgrade. But if people
are coming to the Switch now for

151
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.600
real stuff and like this holiday,
they're looking to get something like this,

152
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.480
or they're looking to finally hop on
an old lad, this is going to

153
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.399
be a fine option. Yeah,
I think so. And I mean as

154
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:13.759
well, I'm kind of I'm not
amazed it's Nintendo, but the way that

155
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:20.600
PlayStation and Xbox at this jen are
recognized how much people will want to customize,

156
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.759
and so you know, it got
Xbox with wraps, PlayStation putting out

157
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:31.799
the different shells show whatever the hell
you call those shell Yeah, I'm kind

158
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.159
of amazed that Nintendo's not really get
doubling down on that stuff as much as

159
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.840
possible and cutting out the third pie. Yeah, even when they have done

160
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.559
that in the past, the three
DS or the New three DS and the

161
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.159
and the New three DS XL like
we only got the XCEL and then Japan,

162
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.799
they got the new three DS and
it had all those awesome face plates

163
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.879
and it's so well, we always
miss out on that customization from Nintendo.

164
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.080
It's frustrating. Yes, Gabway Micro
had a bunch of face plates as well.

165
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.440
I think they were swab. I
like that a lot, but is

166
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.440
it as good? And I've talked
about this. I was on kind of

167
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:09.240
funny before. I remember, did
anyone else have the Xbox three sixty mass

168
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:15.919
effect armor plate? And it was
Commander Shepherd's chest armor and it was an

169
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.960
Xbox three sixty cover and it basically
like just yeah, it was a mistake.

170
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.759
It was a misstake, and they
don't make him like that anymore.

171
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.679
They do not your your bosomy Xbox
Systems or you're going to get that online

172
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.960
from I will say it was it
was. It was mail chep. What

173
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:41.200
was still I want my Xbox three
sixty face plate to be like the George

174
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.200
Cooney bat nipples. That's what I
need. That's yes, of course,

175
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.000
agreed, agreed, all right,
Sonic team head things, Sonic Superstars art

176
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.039
is art style, excuse me,
is future proof. This comes from my

177
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:58.000
Nintendo News Games Radar sat down with
Sonic team head Takashi Ayazuki to talk all

178
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.279
things Sonic. The Hedgehog are Excuse
me now, he's saying, Iazuka,

179
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.720
I think it is. Iazuka says
that when they looked at the various art

180
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.639
styles they could implement in Sonic Superstars, they wanted something that would be future

181
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.000
proof. He went on to say
that the team didn't believe pixel art would

182
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.120
be viable for Superstars, so they
went with the current art style, which

183
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.879
admittedly also looks good. Iazuka concluded
by saying that they are constantly thinking about

184
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.440
the future of the beloved Sonic franchise. Regarding both two D and three D

185
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.279
Sonic games, who wanted to say
when we talk about the brand, we

186
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.000
definitely need to have a modern Sonic
three D game, Iazuka said. We

187
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.399
also feel we need to have classic
Sonic two D games. Those are our

188
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.360
fundamental pillars that we need to have. We're expanding into movies and TV,

189
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.039
but we still need to have both
three D and two D lineup for our

190
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.679
gaming audience. Last year, we
released Sonic Frontiers, and what Sonic Frontiers

191
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.080
was doing is taking the open zone
concept. Everyone drank because we said open

192
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.879
zone to cement that the three D
Sonic gameplay as something we can build on

193
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.480
for the next ten to twenty years
to continue bringing new gameplay experiences to players.

194
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.720
It was really the evolution of where
the three D Sonic space was going,

195
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.679
and we feel very proud in what
the team was able to deliver.

196
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.440
He went on to talk about pixel
art. He says, we look at

197
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.320
the pixel art and it's great,
but when we think about ten to twenty

198
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.759
years in the future, we don't
think it's going to be a viable art

199
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.519
style or presentation for our players,
And in order to advance and really step

200
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.679
things up, we did want to
make sure that we're presenting something that ten

201
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:20.360
to twenty years down the road we're
still evolving and creating new content for Essentially,

202
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.600
what I think what he's saying here
is that the reason like Super Sonic

203
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.000
Superstars is a three D art style
base instead of like Sonic Mania, which

204
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.600
was pixel art, is that intend
to twenty years, the pixel ar it's

205
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.279
going to look out dated and the
three D art is going to still look

206
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.879
more timeless. And I couldn't disagree
more. Lucy, I think that's crazy.

207
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.679
I don't think that's how that works. Has it ever worked that way,

208
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.440
can you think of an example.
I can't Okami in terms of a

209
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.279
three D art style that is still
timeless, but that's because it was heavily

210
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.799
Yeah, it's a heavily stylized.
It had nothing to do with the PS

211
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.360
two tech they were working on.
It had everything to do with the auto

212
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.320
direction cells shading in that game.
And so saying out right, this three

213
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.399
D is going to be timeless when
two D is not is bizarre because it

214
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.039
ultimately doesn't come down to that,
It comes down to the direction. Yeah,

215
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.519
and I listen, I think Sonic
Superstars looks pretty good. It looks

216
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.679
that's a pretty good good art style
for three D. But I think Sonic

217
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.039
Mania in ten to twenty years he
is going to look more timeless than Sonic

218
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:28.320
Superstars. Sonic Superstars will look like
of its time, because I mean maybe

219
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.759
maybe it's just the fact that,
like three D art is more than likely

220
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.039
going to change over time, and
for two D pixel art, we sort

221
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.440
of decided decided like, this is
what we're going for, this is what

222
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.399
we wanted to look like, and
if you do more stuff with that,

223
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.799
that's fine, But there is kind
of an ideal like Sonic Form and it

224
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.559
is that that two D sonic style. I wonder if the subtext here is

225
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.039
kids like three D more than two
D, which I also find it hard

226
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.080
art. Again, think they think
that kids Maybe maybe they do, yes,

227
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.679
may maybe they just think kids don't
know what's good. That's definitely true.

228
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.120
The kids love trash. That's their
motto on this show. You know,

229
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:11.159
the Disney and dream Works and all
these companies that make animated films have

230
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.480
mostly stopped making two D animated pictures
because kids, like kids get excited to

231
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.960
go see three D films or you
know, three D animated computer films more

232
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.360
than two D, and even like, you know, I remember Jeffrey the

233
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.240
quippy guy. Now I can't remember
his name, Thank you, Katzenberger.

234
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.639
Yeah, back he was like Kats, Yes, Jeffrey Katson. Yes.

235
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.320
He he left Disney. There was
a whole fall out there and we went

236
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.799
to dream Works. He's like,
listen, yeah, we're gonna work on

237
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.360
computer animation, but I'm gonna beat
them at two D animation. I think

238
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.080
that's still like the Bread and Butter
here. And they tried a bunch of

239
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:46.159
stuff. They had prints of Egypt, and they did a handful of other

240
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.240
things. And they just did not
perform as well as they're as Shrek.

241
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.720
And now you see everything dream Works
makes is three DS. So I wonder

242
00:15:54.759 --> 00:16:00.799
if like Sega's kind of thinking along
those lines, and and yes, like

243
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.480
that younger audience that we need,
that's who we actually care about ten to

244
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.200
twenty years from now. And so
I like, I'm not gonna sit here

245
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.440
and say they shouldn't do this.
But at the same time, I just

246
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:12.320
don't agree with this idea that the
Sonic Superstars or even Sonic Frontiers is gonna

247
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.039
look better in ten to twenty years. That seems wild. All Right,

248
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.120
we're gonna take a quick break,
everybody. When we get back, we're

249
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.279
gonna continue with the news, talk
about a little bit of Starfield sweak it

250
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:29.960
in all that right after this.
All right, we're back, and we

251
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.600
have some news about Starfield's sales so
far, it's not even out yet,

252
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.200
but Starfield is Steam's top game to
the surprise of no one. This is

253
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.320
from Andrew Heaton at Destructoid. The
amount of out yet and I am exhausted

254
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.679
by Oh boy, yes it is
getting It's already rough. I'm not I'm

255
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.080
so glad that I'm gonna be traveling
tomorrow. That's what I'm so glad that

256
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:55.000
I'm going to be on a twenty
four hour train. The amount of hype

257
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.919
that for Starfield easily rivals the biggest
games of this year, which is really

258
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:02.039
saying something. In fact, the
anticipation is so enormous that Bethesda's upcoming sci

259
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.119
fi RBG is already topping the Steam
charts. If you head over to the

260
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.240
website, you'll see that at the
time of this writing, Starfield is currently

261
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.319
at the number two spot on Steam's
top sellers. The only thing being in

262
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.119
it is Valve's own Steam Decks device, which means the upcoming sci Fi Opus

263
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.079
number one in terms of actual games. You know, this puts it ahead

264
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.839
of Boulter's Gate three, which is
crushing it on Steam still, and we

265
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.160
expect that, you know, sales
will probably continue as it comes out,

266
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:29.319
But the hype, the anticipation is
there, and that I think that explains

267
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.039
why there's so much anxiety out there, one way or the other for people

268
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.279
who want this game to fail,
for people who want this game to succeed,

269
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.880
they are losing their minds Lucy,
And it's been real dumb this week.

270
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.960
It's been done for the past couple
of weeks, but this week is

271
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:48.079
really reaching its zenith. I mean, dude, dude. I first of

272
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:55.359
all, let's even begin. Every
single fucking take I see about Starfield from

273
00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:00.119
whoever is just absolutely ridiculous. I
am so exhausted by it. And I've

274
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.599
been doing this a long time.
Okay, I've been in the industry for

275
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.480
over ten years. I've been a
game so I'll be ten years next year,

276
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.400
and just like, nothing has exhausted
me more than the Starfield a discourse

277
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.000
and the game isn't even out yet. And the thing is, it's like

278
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.440
Mitchell jam You're saying, like,
don't read Twitter. That is absolutely correct.

279
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:23.000
However, unfortunately part of my job, and it's just like everyone is

280
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:29.599
Console wars are inherently very very stupid, and this one I don't know why,

281
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.279
but the hackles are up about Starfield, and I'm like, I'm even

282
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.480
exhausted, you know what, I'm
just gonna say it publicly. I'm really

283
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:41.759
exhausted by seeing everyone post like I've
got the game and here is when my

284
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.279
review will be. And it's like
that felt really weird to see everyone kind

285
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.160
of doing that about this game,
and it's just like no one does that

286
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.319
for anything else, Like if you
have an embargo to say when you can

287
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.880
say the embargo just post it from
your outlet. Yeah. I think it's

288
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.640
different if your content created and you
could say, hey, like I have

289
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:04.960
the game. But like seeing people
post it with like pictures of staffield mugs

290
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.519
and stuff, that was where I
was like, it's weird, weird.

291
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.400
Yeah, sure, yeah, definitely. I definitely seen people do that before

292
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.400
with the other big games in the
last couple of years, and it's it's

293
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.599
strange because like the embargo has to
be framed in a very specific way to

294
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.000
enable that, where like they say, hey, you could say you have

295
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.920
the game and you could say when
the review review embargo is and they did

296
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:27.519
that here and that's I've only seen
that a couple of times before. But

297
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.960
it's also from like big companies like
Sony that have done that, and but

298
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.680
yeah, rarely every time, it
is always strange. It's like yeah,

299
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.240
yeah, okay, what do we
do with this information? But I guess

300
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.119
people do want to say when the
reviews are coming out? So but you're

301
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.240
right post from your own and I
get I get the nuance of like,

302
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.880
you know, if you're a content
creator and you're on the up and up

303
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.480
and you're excited about getting a code
for a big game. I completely understand

304
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.400
and appreciate that, but like that
just felt like I just loved those Twitter

305
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.880
and every book I was posting the
same thing and it was like posted from

306
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.640
Igana and game spot on whoever like
that is in news beat Yep, it's

307
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.440
it. Just it just felt very
weird. And then every like you can

308
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:11.839
say shit about this game without PlayStation
or Xbox people just getting all up in

309
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.880
there, like I don't even want
to post what I think about Staffield,

310
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.240
Yeah I might. I might just
talk about it on podcasts and that's it,

311
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:23.480
Like, yes, definitely, you
can conversation. And it's because you

312
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.119
can already. I mean, it's
already happening. Like the reason it is

313
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.680
so frustrating out there is because things
will leak or people will say one thing,

314
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:36.599
or people discover something, and you
can tell that one side is automatically

315
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:40.079
going into defensive mode and the other
side is like, how can I frame

316
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.279
this in the worst possible way to
make people feel as miserable about this game

317
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.000
as possible? And it's like,
why are these heathens out here? Trying

318
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.720
to either like no one's playing games. They're just out here trying to ruin

319
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.279
other people's time playing games one way
or the other, and it's it's it's

320
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:57.480
exhausting. And then I mean,
and then this kind of mercury, it

321
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:02.240
makes the pool murky for conversation because
euro Gamer will be like, hey,

322
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:03.559
we didn't get a code. We
have we we got code and they told

323
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.240
us we weren't allowed to have it. We had to give it the Digital

324
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.359
Foundry, and no one from Digital
Foundary could would allow us to play it.

325
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.200
And it's like, okay, this
is a conversation worth happening. And

326
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.680
then then of course that just becomes
more weapons in the console wars for these

327
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.160
way like obviously this they're afraid of
what euro Gamer's going to say about this

328
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.839
game, as if it's like one
outlet that it's gonna move things one or

329
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:25.599
the other. Once you're Gamer posted
like that story saying here's why we don't

330
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.720
have it. A couple of hours
later, they did get a code,

331
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.960
and I fully one hundred percent believe
the reason they didn't get the code is

332
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:34.279
a grudge. I think that Potesta
is a studio that had that is very

333
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.720
good at holding grudges. I don't
necessarily know where that comes from. I

334
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.200
have my hunches, but they need
to get over that. It is twenty

335
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.559
twenty three. They need to stop. That is such a bad move these

336
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.880
days because like every like, we
got so many codes, and everyone else

337
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.640
I know got so many codes.
Everyone's playing this. So the idea that

338
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.880
you're leaving out like one or two
people, I think, skill up,

339
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.119
right, he didn't get a code, right. Yeah, it's just like

340
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.799
these big content creators are big sites
getting out like it's like that just looks

341
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.759
bad for your studio. No matter
what the reasoning is, you shouldn't do

342
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:10.279
it. It's a bad idea.
So yeah, we're one day away.

343
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.880
By this time tomorrow, we'll be
there. We'll be past this and again

344
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.920
I'll be traveling and I'm just going
to talk about it. We got a

345
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.519
quick look going up everybody. That
was a fun experience trying to do that

346
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:25.480
and bring it into spoilers that I
couldn't avoid and stuff like that. But

347
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.359
we're doing our best mixture that's going
to be ready and edited in such a

348
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:32.799
way that I won't ruin the game
for anybody. But yeah, thats Starfield

349
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:34.759
is like this big thing that's big, big and important and it just feels

350
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:38.480
like people are losing their mind and
it's so frustrating and we can move on

351
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:42.799
after this, but like we're at
the point where we have so many games

352
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:49.319
coming out, like this is an
incredible time to be like interested in video

353
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:53.319
games, to play video games,
and it's so sad to me that we

354
00:22:53.480 --> 00:23:00.119
can't as community celebrate that and we
have to be me and you and not

355
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:06.960
you. But like, the big
thing in our community is that we just

356
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.240
tear each other down based on something
that we don't like, and it is

357
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:15.079
exhausting and pointless and it's just so
frustrating. And I think as well,

358
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.319
we just haven't had one like Starfield
come around in a while in terms of

359
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:23.640
things that have got people really invested
in the Console Wars Console Wars as well.

360
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.039
Stupid temp for it of course.
Yeah, you know, it's just

361
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.400
it's just exhausted. And maybe it's
because it's eight thirty on a Wednesday and

362
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:37.079
I'm feeling ill. But I've had
it. I've had it, Jeff had

363
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.200
you losers, get a life,
grow on it, and then grow up.

364
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.039
The words of one who's sang grow
up grow up anyway. Goodbye.

365
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.759
Unami's Sweaking in one and two HD
remaster have been delayed or has been delay

366
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:55.240
because it's one product. This is
from weam Dulan and Nintendo Life. If

367
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.519
you were anticipating the return of the
gr j RPG Classics Sweaking in one and

368
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.720
two this year, you might want
to read on. Konami has issued a

369
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:06.759
new notice on sufficial website and via
social media about a slight delay Sweaking in

370
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.240
one and two HD remaster, gate
Rooin and doing in Unification Wars, which

371
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:14.200
is a name that they actually chose
to call that thing. We'll require additional

372
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:18.319
development time to deliver the experience fans
expect. The aim is now to release

373
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.920
the package as soon as possible,
and they're going to kind of explain what's

374
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.880
going on here. Hey, I
think delay in a game like this is

375
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.519
like right now, is a great
idea, What a wonderful idea. Get

376
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.720
out of this, get out of
this time zone. I fail. I

377
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:36.240
felt so bad for immortals of Avium. I feel so bad. I mean,

378
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:38.960
see, if Star's got one hundred
K in like a day, that's

379
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:48.240
great. Goodbye Volcano High. Like
this particular release window between Star of August

380
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.559
to the end of the year,
absolute Nima. If you're a delay in,

381
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.480
that's probably the best bad for you
right now. Yeah, there's there's

382
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.160
a certain balance where when a lot
of games are coming out and people are

383
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.880
excited that, I think it can
be good for other games because people are

384
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.119
like, man, I'm just having
so much fun playing games. I want

385
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.400
to get my switch out or get
my Steam deck out, or get on

386
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.640
get on the computer, get on
the console and just kind of pop on

387
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.680
there and see what's available to play. Well, I wait for the next

388
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:15.759
big thing I'm really excited about.
This is like beyond that to the point

389
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.279
where it's like, now people are
completely strapped for time, so they are

390
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.440
making some tough choices about what they're
going to play, let alone what they're

391
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.119
gonna buy. So yeah, I
mean as well, like you can't even

392
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.599
say, you can't even say that
December is a viable release window anymore because

393
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.799
the game Will. I mean,
if you want to go in for game

394
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.519
Will, it's like, because the
cutoff is you've got to be in at

395
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.960
least in November. Yeah, November, yes, you don't. You don't

396
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.599
stand and then no one remember remember, And like I think even last year.

397
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:47.119
And this is a testament to it
is that I can't even remember what

398
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:48.599
game it was. But something came
out in like December last year or the

399
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.440
efore, and we're like, okay, everyone remember this for game of what's

400
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.039
next year? Ye No, I
don't like that. It doesn't look like

401
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:57.720
that anymore. Remember, we're like, Cyberpunk came out of December, like

402
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.839
that'll be, That'll be for next
year's awards, And that didn't worked out

403
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:06.920
for that game. Not as a
Cyberpunk defender. That's a good game.

404
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:08.599
I like it. I like it
too. I gave it three out of

405
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:11.519
five because I like it. It's
a good game, all right. See

406
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.920
if Stars sold. That onefore mentioned
one hundred thousand copies on release days comes

407
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.839
from my Nintendo News. The long
awaited Pixel Art Adventures Sea of Stars received

408
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:25.240
some excellent review scores earlier this week, just before the game launched across multiple

409
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:27.920
platforms, with critics critics comparing it
to some of the strongest RPG entries in

410
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:33.319
the sixteen bit era. The game
finally released yesterday and sales have been tallied

411
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.960
and it has already sold one hundred
thousand copies across digital marketplaces, including the

412
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:42.640
Nintendo E Shop. Developer Sabotage Studios
thanked fans for the success. That's really

413
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:45.440
good, and I expect the game
to continue selling. It's probably, but

414
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.519
next time we're gonna hear about it
will be a couple of weeks, and

415
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.319
I bet it's going to be about
a million copies sold pretty easily. This

416
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.359
feels like one of those games that, especially an indie R JRPG on the

417
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.599
Switch. I mean, it's gonna
sell well everywhere, but these games sell

418
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.200
us special well on the Switch.
I think it's gonna just be It's gonna

419
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.160
be like the New Hades or the
New Golf Story on that system. I

420
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.480
think yeah, And I think as
well, you know, Kenn of coming

421
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.599
out, people are obviously very interested
in it. Then Refus came out,

422
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.079
tends across the board and yeah,
folks in chat saying rightfully, So it's

423
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:19.920
on PS day Pass and it's still
selling one hundred thousand, that's awesome,

424
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:22.920
Like good for them, yep,
that's uh. And of course that mean

425
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.359
that means people a lot of people
on those systems are just going to play

426
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.960
in the subscription service, but a
lot of people are just still choosing to

427
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.640
buy it, So yeah, it's
all around. That's I mean, that's

428
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:37.359
the ideal scenario is that you have
a game that looks pretty good, you

429
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.440
can, you get good review scores, you put it in these online services

430
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.160
so you get money upfront, and
then people discover it that way and they

431
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.200
tell their friends, and then people
start buying it as well, and it's

432
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:51.279
like everything is hitting for Sea of
Stars. So just a good thing for

433
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:55.640
that game and another one that are
like I'm eyeing, but I don't know

434
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.799
if I'll ever really get around to
it this year. I would love to,

435
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.200
but I don't know. Have you
played it in all? No,

436
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:07.119
Gerard is completionist, is really big
into it. He's been singing its praises

437
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:12.359
for a few weeks now, kind
of in the FPS chat. I it

438
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.880
doesn't I never really grew up with
those games, so maybe this is going

439
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.759
to be the one that like gets
me into it, But I just don't

440
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.480
have time right now. Like im
I'll be going from I'm still on Boulder's

441
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:29.680
Gate Starfield going into the October craziness. I'm traveling a lot. Also,

442
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:38.640
also A may have downloaded done Alan
Wake, Quantum Break and Control. Oh

443
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:42.039
my god, Lucy. I thought
you were just going to say Alan Wake

444
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.720
no, because I've replayed on the
universe, right, you don't have to

445
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:52.920
do this, okay, So right, Uh, Sean Ashmore is back.

446
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:57.480
Ashmore is in Alan Wake too,
So first of all, I don't want

447
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.920
to throw people under the bus.
But in the session that we were in,

448
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.599
we saw him pop up on screen
and me and Tam were like,

449
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.319
oh, he's Jack Joyce Babies back. He's playing character called like Tim Tim

450
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:15.920
Breaker or something breaker. Well well
because anyway it's like me and Tim like

451
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.440
And then there was like a group
Q and a after and no one asked

452
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.640
about him, and I was like, are we just gonna ignore the ice

453
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:30.079
man in the rim anyway? Apparently? And I never I never played Quantum

454
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.960
Break, so I and also remon'
eve been saying like, you don't need

455
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.200
to have played any of the other
stuff before getting this. And as I

456
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.480
was watching the Alam Bake two stuff, I was like, oh, there

457
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.759
are so many Easter eggs just in
this demo, Like I want to enjoy

458
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:48.440
that, So I am gonna anyway, I put it on the rack.

459
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.240
Ally, So that's mostly bad at
you because I've been imagining doing the same

460
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.759
thing at least with Control and now
on Wake. Yeah. I did not

461
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.079
enjoy Quantum Break, but I would
go back and play some Control for sure.

462
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.480
I would like to replay before this, but I'm not Control. So

463
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:07.559
it's a good game. That's how
much I love to control. I think

464
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.200
about objects of power all the time. What a good concept, What a

465
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:14.599
great all around, like well thought
out world that they made there. Uh,

466
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:21.880
Larry And says it's discussing potential Boulder's
Gate three DLCs potential, they're discussing

467
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:29.440
potential e these rumors. Is disgusted
by Boulder's Gate three DLC. This is

468
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.759
from Tom. I've been at VGC. Larry and Studios is discussing the possibility

469
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.319
of expanding Balder's Gate three with DLC
ex Senior product manager Tom Butler told IGN

470
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.359
that the studio is currently focused on
releasing the console version of Boulder's Gate three

471
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.160
and that it will be occupied with
it with patching the base game for the

472
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.200
foreseable future. We'll talk about that
patch here in a second, however,

473
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:49.839
he said. He also said Larry
and is thinking about ways in which it

474
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:53.480
could potentially expand the game, which
was released for PC on August third.

475
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:57.240
We'll carry on patching for a while
and then we're all going to take a

476
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:00.440
holiday and then we'll figure out what
we do x he said. But at

477
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.559
the moment, we genuinely have discussions. We want to do more. We

478
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.119
don't know what yet. Larry and
released the first major Balder's Gate three patch

479
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.720
last week, addressing over a thousand
bugs and so on. A patch two's

480
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.160
coming up again. I'll mention,
we'll get to a story about patch two

481
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:18.160
here in a second. What do
you want from DLC? Where when do

482
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:21.519
you expect it? I know you're
super into Balder's Gate three. It seems

483
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:25.200
to the kind of thing where if
they were to drop DLC next holiday,

484
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.240
like this game could have another surge
of popularity, a lot of people would

485
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.960
come back to it. Is that
kind of the timeline that you're expecting.

486
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.960
Oh yeah, dude, leave me
alone. Hilarious, hilarion, Get out

487
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:41.160
of here. I need to finish
your game first. I'm still in Act

488
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.119
two. I'm like fifty plus hours
in. I'm still in Act two.

489
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.960
I honestly, the main thing I
want from them right now immediately is I

490
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.319
wanted to run better. I'm at
the kind of apex at the game where

491
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:57.319
performance is definitely suffering, maybe because
as well I have I'm switching between handheld

492
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:02.359
and Yeah, it's apparently gets much
worse even than Act three. So if

493
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:06.359
you're an act you're probably gonna get
probably gonna get even rougher as you go

494
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.440
forward. Yeah, So I don't
know. I just want them to keep

495
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:15.480
like it's rating fixing on stuff DLC. Why, I don't know. I

496
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:17.480
mean, I don't know where this
story goes, so I don't even know

497
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:21.720
where or what I could do with
it. Like I mean, okay,

498
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:23.799
let's say that this story wraps up
in a very conclusive way, which I

499
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.920
have no idea if it does,
but let's just say it does. Do

500
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:34.480
you think that they could just do
a whole new campaign as DLC. Oh

501
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.799
Probably, I mean not to speak
for the devs, but not easily.

502
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:39.880
I would love, I would love, genuinely like a mass effect citadel,

503
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:45.920
just like like a like a one
shop. Yeah, to use DNT,

504
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:52.119
DND polance, something that doesn't really
tie into the main story, but it

505
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.559
could still be ideal. Oh my
gangs. Ideally, I think that's exactly

506
00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:00.400
right, and in a perfect world
where they're able to do those with,

507
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.440
you know, in an affordable and
quick way. I think it'd be really

508
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:07.039
fun if they could do some like
themed one shots, like a sort of

509
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:08.920
a holiday themed one that they put
out next Christmas and stuff like that,

510
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:13.319
and I think a Halloween one.
I think that could be really funny.

511
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.680
Obviously it would be more D and
D themed, but that could be a

512
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:21.119
very fun thing to do. They
probably won't have the resources to pull that

513
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:25.079
off, because I'm sure they're going
to do it. Do DLC their biggest

514
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.480
prior priority going forward. It's going
to be a sequel to this game.

515
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:30.960
I mean, you don't put a
game out that cells like this that then

516
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:35.480
you don't follow up with relatively and
then in the next four or five years

517
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.559
and they're going to get to work
on that. So yeah, but I

518
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:43.319
think that the mass effects style is
probably the right way, and there's a

519
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:45.000
lot of good examples of that,
the Citadel one obviously being the best.

520
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.319
Just having the characters to be able
to have like a party where like low

521
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.519
stakes and everyone kind of getting together
and having the characters interact with one another

522
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.359
in that way, that could be
really fun. Yeah, I mean,

523
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:59.880
someone's going to do it because it
doesn't look like by Aware of doing it.

524
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:02.920
Yeah, how are you feeling about
that news about what's happening over by

525
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:12.079
Aware? I mean, I don't
feel great about it. I was kind

526
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:16.599
of cautiously optimistic about that game to
talk about mass effect anyway, kind of

527
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:22.199
cautiously optimistic about it. But like, yeah, it doesn't look good getting

528
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.719
rid of all of the old veteran
veteran writers. Not a great look.

529
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:29.960
Game has been in development for a
very long time. Same with Dragon Age.

530
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:31.679
There's no way, e A,
you're recouping those costs at this point.

531
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:35.599
I'm I don't know. I think
they're just gonna want to shove it

532
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:40.000
out the door and say goodbye to
it. Yeah, that's so I'll say

533
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:45.199
that. I'll start off by saying
internally at by Aware, they're still mostly

534
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:49.400
very happy with Dragon Age dread wull. I know, I know all of

535
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.920
the news surrounding it is pretty grim. And what I talked about last week

536
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:57.000
with like, you know, the
game keeps getting delayed internally and stuff like

537
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.000
that. Yeah, that's happening,
but that's like normal video games stuff.

538
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.199
Like they haven't talked about it publicly
for a reason, and so it like

539
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.039
they haven't announced a delay. It's
just internally they keep moving because they have

540
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:10.800
they've been afforded the opportunity to keep
moving it. But they when they talk

541
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:15.000
about like how they feel about the
game, they're pretty happy with it.

542
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.639
So I like, I want to
like give people some hope that like things

543
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:21.280
could turn out well for Dragon Age
dread Wolf. That said, you know

544
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.840
that studio is definitely feeling the pressure
to deliver, and they aren't feeling the

545
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:29.559
pressure to cut costs, which is
never a great thing. And the fact

546
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:32.599
that that, I mean, I'm
not going to ever get over lucy them.

547
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:37.000
Basically the week or the month that
Balder's Gate three comes out and destroys

548
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.800
the world, firing the writer of
Balder's Gate one or lay enough that that

549
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:43.960
is kind of a crazy thing,
and it shows that like, Okay,

550
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:49.000
something went wrong here with eam BioWare
right, Yeah, all right. That

551
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:52.920
Balder's Gate three patch is coming soon. It will improve it will improve performance.

552
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:55.559
The big thing that they're going to
focus on this comes from Ali Welship

553
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:59.760
Polygon. The second major patch,
or balders Gate three, will improve the

554
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:04.679
game performance, particularly in Act three
where it often struggles, and it will

555
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:07.760
begin a push to expand on the
game's epilog, including freshening out freshening out

556
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:12.840
the endings for the Carlack character,
as many fans have requested. That's according

557
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.360
to a new community update that that
developer Larrying Studios, posted to Steam on

558
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:20.159
Tuesday. The developer wasn't specific about
the timing of patch two, but said

559
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:24.119
it was just around the corner.
Have you like as you encounter more of

560
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:27.400
these performance problems as you get later
in the game, and I don't know,

561
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.480
maybe you've encuntered some bugs, Have
you like slowed up in hopes for

562
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:31.880
the patch, or you just playing
as much as you can whenever you can.

563
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:36.079
I have. I just haven't played
for the last week. It just

564
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:43.559
because I've been traveling, right.
Yeah. I took my rage Ally too

565
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:47.440
Geminy and back. However, I
took a bunch of pills, legal pills,

566
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:52.760
and so I passed out on the
flight there and back because I didn't

567
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:55.519
play anything. Sean quick, you
get me an audio clip of that,

568
00:36:55.559 --> 00:37:04.840
real quick, Legal pills, legal
bills. Actually they had controlled substances which

569
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.920
I had to get my doctor to
prescribe me. So no, I just

570
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.320
haven't played in a while, and
then I came back and I've been sick,

571
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:16.840
man like I have just I've been
I'm in a big movie phase right

572
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.960
now watching Oh okay, so I
love this. I love movie era,

573
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:28.519
Lucy. I'm getting big on Letterbox
as well. I don't know if I'm

574
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:30.199
following you there. I will though, Lucy. This James Games everywhere.

575
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:38.079
I watched The Prestige just before I
left. I watched Sunshine last night.

576
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:45.079
I watched Easton Promises the night before. I was going to watch Lady Vengeance,

577
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:50.000
but then I was like, I'm
two tied with the Prestige. I

578
00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:52.079
was thinking about the yesterday because kind
of funny was doing that pizza thing where

579
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:58.400
they're like Roger like boiled down mountain
dew and put it on the pizza and

580
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:00.320
it looked like pesto and then crushed
up to RINOs and stuff on there,

581
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.920
and I was looking at it and
all I can think is that scene from

582
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:07.239
the Prestige where the guy's like it's
been a very long time since I've seen

583
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.440
real magic, and it's like,
I'm just completely I'm astonished at what you've

584
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:15.599
accomplished here, Roger McCarney. So
Prestige it's definitely want I always think about.

585
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.679
But so I don't like foot double. I've just had five people following

586
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:22.880
the letter box. Thank you.
People love following up one letterbox. That's

587
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:24.679
that's the real social media. That's
where I'm gonna spend all my time when

588
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:30.000
Starfield comes out is letterbox. Yeah, I'm going to review everything on on

589
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:35.880
on the train. You should totally
do that. Absolutely. I started watching

590
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:37.760
Tenant the other day because I was
at a big Nolan kick, I watched

591
00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:43.559
Interstellar. I'm sorry anyone who says
Interstellar is a good story. Oh it's

592
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.960
not a good story. It's a
great stime. No, see you listen,

593
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:52.320
Okay, no one storytelling it really
does require you to They say it

594
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:57.159
in Tenant, Uh feel don't think. You gotta feel it. You can't

595
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.199
think about it. And that's definitely
true for Tenant, but it's also true

596
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:05.039
for Interstellar. Here's here's my recommendation. Actually, everyone's right. If you

597
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.639
have kids, Interstellar becomes a great
movie. It's it doesn't matter. You

598
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:10.679
don't in a rational way, yes, you know, and I would just

599
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.280
I and I was texting people yesterday
when I was watching when I was watching

600
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:22.800
Sunshine, and I was like,
would you go into space? Would you

601
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.599
go into space? You're asking me
if I would go into space? I'm

602
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:28.840
asking you, would you go ow
in space? Yes? Space is like

603
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.480
interstellar, if it's like sunshine,
if it's like if I'm okay, I

604
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:37.079
would hozon, I would go into
orbit? For sure? Would I go?

605
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.760
Would I travel near the speed of
light to the point where then the

606
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.840
relative time is changing so that I'm
anging slower than my children? Almost?

607
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.320
Certainly? Not? No, Well
it's okay, because you love try and

608
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.320
signs time in space. Well listen, I know that absolutely, But I

609
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:53.880
don't know if I could t happened
to it. I don't know if I

610
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.559
have the bookshelf. I got a
keya bookshelf. I don't have the Magical

611
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:04.199
Time bookshelf. So I'm missing some
features that he had. Yeah, yeah,

612
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:06.719
I just I just don't understand people
who want to go into space.

613
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:08.400
I don't understand it. Why would
you want to? You would die up

614
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:10.599
there? You will die up there? Yeah, but we're gonna die down

615
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:17.960
here. Yeah. But like my
PC's here, Okay. I thought you

616
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:22.840
were like, there's like trees here
and it's nice outside, said and Lucy

617
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:28.239
James but yes, hell, yes, here, these are very good arguments,

618
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:30.519
and you're right. I don't know. I like space travel, I

619
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:34.760
like the idea of it. But
yes, Interstellar is kind of a horror

620
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:37.280
film when you start actually thinking about
the implication. Music. Music is great.

621
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.840
I no, I think the setup
for Interstellar is fantastic. I just

622
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.199
think he loses it with all the
black hole stuff. I definitely felt that

623
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:47.800
way the first time, and then
since we watching it a bunch of times,

624
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:52.079
I'm like over it in very much. The emotions do work for me.

625
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:57.039
But yeah, all right, you
know what, let's take off the

626
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:00.480
rails here. Uh, last couple
of stories here. Excited By sixty four

627
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:04.719
is now available for Switch Online Expansion
Pack members. This is from my Nintendo

628
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.480
News. You may recall that Less
Than We Could Go Nintendo announced the Excite

629
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:13.280
Like sixty four would be arriving on
Nintendo Switch Online Plus Expansion Pack on August

630
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.679
thirtieth. As usual, the date
was actually referring to Japan's time zone,

631
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.880
so August thirtieth in Japan would be
late on August twenty ninth, in the

632
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:22.880
middle of the night for the western
regions, depending on your time zone.

633
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.719
It's been out since last night people
are playing it. One of my favorite

634
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.360
in sixty four games, so it's
an all time classic. I think most

635
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:31.960
people are going to try it out
and be like, this is weird because

636
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:36.400
it's a bit more simi than you
might be expecting. It's still an arcade

637
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.320
racer, but they try to simulate
a lot of like the power sliding and

638
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:42.719
what you need to do to pull
those that stuff off, and if there's

639
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.480
kind of a high technical skill ceiling, and I love that stuff. But

640
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:50.679
it's definitely a different game than just
like Mario Kart. That said, I'm

641
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:52.960
looking forward to them getting through the
other two games they have for Nintendo sixty

642
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:59.840
four Expansion Pack, which is Mario
Party three and then ten eighty Snowboarding,

643
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:02.000
and then we'll see what they put
out after that. But yeah, excited

644
00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:06.000
back sixty four. I would not
recommend playing this one on the train.

645
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:07.559
You guys can skip this one.
You guys have my permission. You guys

646
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:13.440
can just help Jan play Tears of
the Kingdom while he's watching. I was

647
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:17.480
gonna say, we're gonna have multiple
screens. I am. I'll be playing

648
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:22.639
Pickman as well. I've got Red
Dead Pickman and Baldest Gate and the aforementioned

649
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:27.960
remedy connected universe. I'm sorry whenever
someone says they're playing have you ever played

650
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:31.960
a Pickman before? No, but
I played Tiny Kin, which I understand

651
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:37.840
is basically it's the platform. It's
the platform version of Pickman. Definitely,

652
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.519
Pickman four is? Is you kind
of a perfect game? I want to

653
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:44.960
over something. Boy was so good. No, everyone has been talking about

654
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:46.960
it, like Mike has been.
I've seen you and Mike post about it.

655
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:52.800
Stella over Ign posted that she was
playing it on the on the flight

656
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:58.480
back. I'm just like, all
right, alright, I'm very it's very

657
00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:00.639
very good. It's just got such
a good loop and they really nailed it.

658
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:04.239
So I'm very excited about that.
Glad to hear it. I'm like,

659
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:06.400
I was like, oh, that's
gonna be the game that I'll be

660
00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:07.519
very excited about and come game of
the year. Won't have a chance.

661
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:09.639
Maybe we get enough people to play
it and maybe we'll have a chance.

662
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:12.599
We'll see or maybe you won't like
it. We'll see, we'll see.

663
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:17.320
The two on the UK Charts Armored
Course six Fires of Rubicon dethroned Mario Kart

664
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:21.000
eight Deluxe. This week. This
comes from my Nintendo News. The latest

665
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:23.559
box to video game software charts have
come through from the largest video game market

666
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:28.599
in Europe at the United Kingdom.
This week's there's a new number one.

667
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:32.559
It's the long awaited Armor Armored Course
six Fires of Rubicon, which just just

668
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:36.719
eked out Mario Kart eight Deluxe.
That's not true, but Mario Kart eight

669
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:38.199
Deluxe is number two on the chart. It was number one last week,

670
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:42.559
which is just messed up that Mario
Kart eight Deluxe was the number one best

671
00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.159
selling game in the UK at physical
retailers last week. But Armor of Course

672
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:51.119
six number one. That game is
is absolutely demolishing everything. I finally started

673
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:53.559
playing it, and I get it. It's un't I haven't played it yet,

674
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:57.119
like it's it's really good on the
Rodger, runs really good on the

675
00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.880
ally. Oh okay, I say, I limit the frame rate or the

676
00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:05.719
resolution to seven twenty, and I
limit the system frame rate to forty five

677
00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:08.280
frames per second, and it runs
kind of perfect in that in that scenario,

678
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:12.480
it might work at ten eighty,
but it works really well at seven

679
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.079
twenty. That's all I've tried it
at. But I really recommended playing playing

680
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:17.519
it that way because it's I'm like
having no issues, it's it's a great

681
00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:21.280
way. I've gotten through that first
boss, well, the first like tutorial

682
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:24.840
boss, the helicopter. But yeah, it's a beautiful game, and the

683
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:30.519
action is as advertised where people are
gay. You're like big mechs moving around

684
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:32.880
fast and doing cool stuff and uh
and or if you want them to feel

685
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:36.280
big and lumbering, you're gonna get
to that as well. But right now

686
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:37.559
you start off with a mech that
can you know, it can fire it's

687
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.280
missiles and lock on all that stuff, and then if you can get close

688
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:44.880
enough and do this big sword swipe, it just feels so good. It's

689
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:49.039
a it's and we people go back
and forth on this where it's like,

690
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:51.719
oh, it's it's definitely not a
so Souls Born game, but when you

691
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:55.519
play it, it's one thousand percent
of from software game where there's some like

692
00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:01.079
animation priority on things and and underneath
everything. Yeah, they made it armor

693
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:05.480
core, but it's with all the
lessons learned from recent from software games,

694
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:09.199
and that felt very good. Stop
giving me more games, man, I

695
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:15.480
know it's crazy. What are you
gonna do? I mean, I'm in

696
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:20.719
my film era pretend that you really
gotta just not because they don't. You

697
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:22.000
can't even hear what they're saying in
that movie, so you just gotta just

698
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:29.960
it's a vibe. I watched everything
with subtitles. Oh yes, I'm also

699
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:32.360
as I as I'm in my not
because I'm in my film era, but

700
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:37.519
because I'm also in my PC gaming
era. I want to get an o

701
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:45.039
led TV and that's like you do, maybe use that as like your PC

702
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:50.239
monitor? No to replace that because
I have a PC plugged in. Okay,

703
00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:52.840
okay, ok it's okay, same
difference, No, no, januine

704
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:54.480
it. I went to the Nvidio
booth at Games Club. Yeah, what

705
00:45:54.599 --> 00:46:00.400
they have and they okay, first
of all, the Nvidia aut x remix

706
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:07.360
stuff that they made, the Half
Life two stuff on unbelievable, the new

707
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:10.360
technical ndia that these these could past
few weeks that they' announced that DLSS three

708
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:14.599
point five, I cannot get over
it. Well yeah, so we saw

709
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:20.199
that in Alan Wake and in Alan
Wake too. I cannot wait till we

710
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:23.039
fucking crush that with these forty nineties. Oh man, that is so exciting.

711
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:27.360
I mean, Ray Tray seems been
promised for years. It finally looks

712
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.079
like it's delivering on that promise.
I'm like, legit into it. It

713
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:34.920
looked so good, and I was
like, I have a twenty eighteen TV

714
00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:40.840
that like, I need a steak
and no lad Man. Yeah, I

715
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:44.800
mean, if you that's that would
be my recommendation. If you're plugging it

716
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:47.880
into a PC, get an LG
LEAD because that's gonna have all the features

717
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:52.280
that you want. I'm I'm using
a Sony uh TV that's pretty good for

718
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:57.280
my PC over there when I've been
playing Starfield and it's it's good, but

719
00:46:57.320 --> 00:47:00.199
it doesn't it does have any support
for any sort of GC like or free

720
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:05.199
Sincy, and you know the old
from LG just straight up has g sinc

721
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.039
Support and all that stuff, And
that would make a huge difference, especially

722
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:10.159
in any game that has any performance
issues. So yeah, yeah, god

723
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:14.079
damn it. Yep yep. In
a game like anything that's running Ray Tracy,

724
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:15.079
youre probably gonna have variable frame,
right, so that would be very

725
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:20.400
helpful. Okay, all right,
Well let's get out of our news and

726
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:23.239
out of our film eras and talk
about the poll from yesterday. Well,

727
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:25.559
actually, while I get that up, Lucy, what do you have happening.

728
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:28.400
What do you have going on that
we want to tell people about?

729
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.360
You got any game spot videos going
up later this week while you're traveling.

730
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:36.199
Yeah, So, I mean we
have all this stuff from games come So

731
00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:38.360
Tam and I saw Alan Wake,
We did Impressions on that one. We

732
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:44.119
did spot On where we had an
interview with Rott Ferguson and Chris from Blizzard

733
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:46.440
about Diablo and how it's actually pretty
difficult to fix a live service game.

734
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:55.199
Who knew? And then we are
shooting spot On today, so I think

735
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:59.559
we'll get it. We'll probably end
up doing a bloody episode about Staffield despite

736
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:02.599
you know, refews don't coming out
until tomorrow, but I'll be going up

must be a nightmare to travel with.

755
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:24.920
Actually, tam Can. Tam Can
attests I'm not a nightmare. I just

756

have to get the train between Newcastle and

758
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.840

00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:44.159
someone I'll go no, no,
I will see you on the other side.

762
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:54.400
silence until we have to move to
our gate or something. I'm just excited

763
00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:57.960

hang out. There's going to be you

764
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.519

a bar on the train in and whatever.

765

I'm just excited to not really do
anything, well obviously be filming a

766
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:08.360
lot of it, and just like
chilling out because it's been such a busy

767
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:12.880
couple of weeks, it's going to
be a busy couple of months. I'm

768
00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:16.440
excited just to trains Like it feels
like the end of the year and it's

769
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:21.159
like, no, it's only September
now, basically not even we're in August.

770
00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:25.199
Still. The thing is as well, like I feel I'm single,

771
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:30.519
no kids, no other commitments really, and so I feel for everyone else

772
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:35.719
who has like sicking for good others
and kids and then everything else is going

773
00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:37.280
on and finding the time to balance
all that. So that is Yeah,

774
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:40.039
she had breakfast this morning, and
then ten minutes later she asked for another

775
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:47.480
breakfast. She wanted to. She's
playing. Oh, it's good. Okay,

776
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:51.239
she says, it's good. I
heard that a little yeah, he

777
00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:52.920
had a little list. Yep.
She's over there making it happen. She's

778
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:57.360
been playing this NonStop. She's pretty
good attitude. She's four years old and

779
00:50:57.400 --> 00:51:00.920
figuring out Pickman. It's I think
that's impressive. That is awesome. All

780
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:04.400
right. I got the poll from
yesterday. Let's uh get yeah, well

781
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:07.480
when was it? Yeah, yesterday, Monday. I don't remember. We'll

782
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:12.639
go try Saints Row and PlayStation Plus. Twenty percent said yes, nine percent

783
00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:15.119
said I've already played it. Seventy
one percent said no, no, thank

784
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:22.840
you, I'm good. I announcing
the price increase with Saints Row. Yep,

785
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.039
it's a move. Yep. So
that's that's right. We did that,

786
00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:28.159
actually did have let's talk. Let's
talk about that real quick. That

787
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:30.880
they'll be our last actual news story
from Warrior sixty four. PlayStation Plus has

788
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:35.719
increased its prices for twelve months.
Essential is now eighty dollars a year,

789
00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:38.320
Extra is now one hundred and thirty
five dollars a year, and Premium is

790
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:42.639
one hundred and sixty dollars per year. This the details are up on the

791
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:45.360
PlayStation blog. Let's see. I'm
as see if there's got if they have

792
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:49.760
the monthly pricing, if that's going
up, I don't. I just I

793
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:54.559
just buy yearly whenever I go back
back to the UK, because I have

794
00:51:54.599 --> 00:52:00.159
a UK account. Annoyingly, all
my shit's tied to that to make it

795
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:07.280
difficult to upgrade your account here.
You can't change the payment to be my

796
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:13.199
American car. That's annoying. That's
very frustrated. Yeah, okay, because

797
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:16.119
I have it's my primary account,
so anything I have, I can.

798
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:21.320
My American account is on there.
And because the English account is the primary

799
00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:23.199
account, I could play whatever on
the same machine, which is fine.

800
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:27.599
So my trophies are in the same
place. But in terms of payments paying

801
00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:34.559
the art, I have to have
two Nintendo accounts Xbox though. Steam thank

802
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.960
you for making it easy for me. Yeah, an immigrant in a different

803
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:42.840
Steam doesn't care. Absolutely. They
will still I had whatever money you've got

804
00:52:42.840 --> 00:52:45.639
that you got bitcoin will take bitcoin. They actually don't take bitcoin anymore,

805
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:50.599
but they did for a while,
which was weird. It's a little strange.

806
00:52:50.679 --> 00:52:52.960
Yeah, okay, yeah, but
I don't see any monthly in price

807
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:57.159
increase here. I don't see the
Canadian pricing, so pay shout outs to

808
00:52:57.159 --> 00:53:00.199
our Canadian friends who are probably gonna
playing significantly more than that. The europric

809
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:04.480
scene is yeah, kind of equivalent
and stuff like that. It's gonna it's

810
00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:07.360
eighty dollars for twelve months of essential
and it's a sixty great British pounds.

811
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:13.039
Is that six sixty great British pounce
a lot of money. That's nothing great

812
00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:16.599
about that anymore. I'm kidding.
I'm sorry. I'm allowed to say,

813
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:22.440
yeah, sixty quid for the years. It's actually not two terrible, but

814
00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:29.000
I mean I get I have the
Premium, which I never use. I

815
00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:31.000
only got it because we were doing
a bunch of videos on PS Plus and

816
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:36.119
then I think I'm just gonna go
back to regular. Maybe maybe the Middle

817
00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:38.079
Ones. I've got the game catalogs. The Middle Ones is the sweet spotted

818
00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:43.679
it is. It's weird, yes, because the older PlayStation classic games that

819
00:53:43.719 --> 00:53:45.920
they put on there just really haven't
been worth it for the most part.

820
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:51.400
Okay, New Paul four tomorrow,
which I will be doing an episode.

821
00:53:51.400 --> 00:53:53.239
I'm traveling later in the day,
so I'll have an episode tomorrow. I'm

822
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:59.079
gonna have tom Caswell one. We're
gonna go live right after the Starfield and

823
00:53:59.079 --> 00:54:01.559
Bargo basically is up, and actually
after the Nintendo direct. Oh no,

824
00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:04.760
I'm sure this is the show will
end, and then the starbott Field and

825
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:06.840
Bargo will go up. So me
and Tom we'll talk a little bit about

826
00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:08.280
it at that point, but our
quick look will be up on all that

827
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:12.679
stuff, so look out for that. In the meantime though, the poll

828
