I'm feeling poor because I know this is on me 8 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.799 because I use a very cheap coffee scale, but it's the thinnest I could 9 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.759 find to fit into the little express on machine. But when I use it 10 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.960 for poor over, it's it's mad all over the place. Scrub oh ooh. 11 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.359 I'm okay. So what's the what's the solution here? What are you? 12 00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.920 What are you gonna do? How you solve this? I either poor 13 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:07.159 water slower or that's not an option, or I get a nicer scale. 14 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.599 But I don't want to get the nicer scale grab. I don't want to 15 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.959 spend money on it. I don't want to Yeah, I mean, like 16 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.879 you a lot of times it's like I can make do with what I have, 17 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.159 Like there's other things I can do to improve it, having to spend 18 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.120 more money. It's always always feels bad always. I never I never like 19 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.959 it at all.

All 36 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.919 right, All, lot's get into Let's start the morning mess with the Nintendo 37 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.199 Direct round up. Got a lot of this from my Nintendo News, a 38 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.840 little bit from Polygon I'm gonna go, and a certain type of order here. 39 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.000 There's painful of relatively big announcements or updates on games that we we've heard 40 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.800 about before. Then now we got more details on Let's start here with Princess 41 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.840 Peach showtime. Princess Peach is getting her own game. It looked pretty cool 42 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.400 they announced this before, but now we actually got an idea of what it 43 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.879 is, and it's Princess Peach kind of on an adventure trying to get back. 44 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.080 Either shows that we're still from a theater or there's some other thing that 45 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.080 got stolen from her. But her solution to do this instead of like the 46 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.639 last Princess Peach game, which is to use her womanly emotions to cry so 47 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.680 much that it rains this time. It's that she's going to dress up in 48 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.840 a bunch of different roles, like a detective or a sword fighter and look 49 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.560 really cool and do a bunch of cool stuff. And I'm super into a 50 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.719 jam. Would you think we talked about this during the direct But it is 51 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.680 surprising. I feel like it's it's honorable in a way and surprising also in 52 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.680 a way how much Nintendo has not let capitalism pop off and kind of hold 53 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:43.560 onto the sanctity of some of their characters. I feel like the Ligazamo Mario 54 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.800 movie really did a number on them and made them shy away from the world. 55 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:55.240 But you have to factor in the success of Barbie maybe inspiring people at 56 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.879 a Nintendo to be like, hey, we have our own Barbie. We 57 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.639 have Peach. Let's stress her up and they're dress wrapping up like the sword 58 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.080 fighter she had. There's kung Fu Peach. I mean these are Peach chef 59 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.599 each Like, yeah, these are things like you would have chef Barbie and 60 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.479 all these other things. And it's like that is a really excellent way to 61 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.360 like treat one of your premier like female characters, where like, hey, 62 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.360 no, she can be anything and so really, honestly, it's kind of 63 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.959 a quaint idea at this point in twenty twenty three, but Nintendo kind of 64 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.399 a quaint company, right totally. And you know the thing is, I 65 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.439 just see the dollar signs. These are all different amibos, These are all 66 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:39.800 potential different costumes for Peach and a future smash a Mario Kart perhaps, I'm 67 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:45.360 and this seems like a much better received than that other solo Peach game from 68 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.319 a couple of years ago. It looks it looks substantial too. You know, 69 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.319 she's she dresses up, it's not like just a costume. Her gameplay 70 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.240 changes. She will be doing sword fighting moves, she will be doing kung 71 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.040 fu moves. When she's a tech detective, she's actually going to be solving 72 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.160 a crime or whatever. So, you know, I'm excited to show it 73 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.600 to my kids, but I'm excited to play it myself. I've always liked 74 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.319 Peaches a character, and uh, and this one's looking pretty good. Uh. 75 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.600 We'll do some pastry chef in with with Peach, and I'll be in 76 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.680 the Game's out March twenty second, twenty twenty four, for the Switch. 77 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.480 That's my birthday, So everyone a good birthday to you, sir, thank 78 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.600 you very much. You can preorder it now though, so if you and 79 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.839 I everyone wants to get get on order your birthday, pre order my birthday. 80 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.160 That's right. I'll come to your house and have my birthday at your 81 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.959 house if you preorder it. The pre ordered bonus is I'm going to be 82 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.800 sloppy drunk, so make sure you get in there and make that heap paper 83 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.759 maarwo. The Thousand Year Door also got announced. This is the return of 84 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.839 the GameCube version. Looks very similar in terms of the gameplay action to that 85 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.399 to the Thousand Year Door, which is what you're gonna want. The story 86 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.959 also looked, you know, pretty much identical also what you want. Uh 87 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:55.319 And really, honestly, if they would have just taken the GameCube visuals and 88 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.800 updated them with HD textures or whatever, that would have been fine as well. 89 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.720 They definitely update it too. There's like a lot a lot of good 90 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.839 new lighting. The character models do look new and improved better than ever. 91 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.800 And it's not like one of those things where like they lose the charm and 92 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:14.360 the translation. Sometimes that does happen. It didn't happen here. I think 93 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.600 this looks like a really good, somewhat light reimagining of Paper Mario. A 94 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.680 thousand year door, a game that is just really beloved. People really like 95 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.519 this game. Jan you ever play it, is this or you're going to 96 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.800 check it this time around? Yeah, I'm looking forward to being able to 97 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.360 check it out. This was one of the paper marias it didn't get to 98 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.560 play because this came out on the GameCube. Yeah, looking forward to it. 99 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.519 I always remember seeing that goomba with a ponytail and being very confused. 100 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.959 Yeah, of course, I also hear that this is one of the best, 101 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.759 if not the best, Paper Mario. First one. Yes, it's 102 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:54.120 the one that it's the one where the combat feels the most engaging and that 103 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.279 you get the most out of it. And then it is super funny, 104 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:03.040 super sharp, great writing that at all time amazing Nintendo Treehouse translation, all 105 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.240 that stuff is there, and the characters are great. All those the characters 106 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.639 you meant, like the ponytail goomba, that they all fit into the story 107 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.800 in really excellent ways. But yeah, this is this is a game that 108 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.839 I have done the Hey, let's download a texture pack, let's let's use 109 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.759 the wide screen back on Dolphin and I played it that way, and this 110 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.680 is pretty close to that. But again, they did do extra work here 111 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.759 you're not going to get from that, and it does look better than ever, 112 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.360 so that's pretty exciting. This game's out in twenty twenty four. They 113 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.040 didn't give a date beyond that. I imagine it's probably out by like summer, 114 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:43.600 though maybe probably like some I guess it's they're mostly probably gonna stop releasing 115 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.680 Switch games after the Switch two comes out. There will probably be a couple. 116 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.199 This one I suppose could come out after a Switch too, So maybe 117 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.279 this is goes as far as next fall, but I guess we'll see. 118 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.839 Maybe late summer. I was gonna ask. I can't imagine it would take 119 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.040 that much more work to also put this on whatever the Switch successor would be. 120 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.560 Right, you're right, and I hope they kind of learned that. 121 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.560 I mean, but we hopefully it's backwards compatible, right, Oh, yes, 122 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.319 right, that's who ideal. Ideally, even if the backwards copatibility is 123 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.920 spotty, which I think is like, you know, the worst case scenario. 124 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.639 I think there will be some form of backward compatibility, but it might 125 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.439 it might be Nintendo spotting this where and that's not not entirely their fault. 126 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.040 The chip that they will be using is not going to be a direct one 127 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.839 to one thing with what they're what they used on the Switch, and people 128 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.639 made games for the Switch directly to the medal there, and the medal is 129 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.039 going to be different on the new system. So there will have to be 130 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:41.679 some either translation later layer or some magic that Nvidia does or direct work support 131 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.679 the games and then call that backward compatibility. But a game coming out so 132 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.279 late in the generation, you would expect them to account for that at the 133 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.360 very least. I would hope so, right, because that was Breadth of 134 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.159 the Wild on the WU, right, Yes, yes, Breath of the 135 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.600 Wild on the WU. I mean of the Twilight Princess on the on the 136 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.919 GameCube and the and the Wii. Uh. They definitely as they get later, 137 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.639 and especially with the big Zelda games. That's why maybe if there's no 138 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.679 backward compatibility, maybe not count on it. But I think everyone's assuming there's 139 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.960 some form of backward compatibility. We just don't know what that looks like yet. 140 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.879 Zero ninety nine was just a wild thing to see. This is a 141 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.919 one of those Battle Royale games the Nintendo makes and puts on Nintendo Switch Online. 142 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.559 Well it's it made this it's n FF zero ninety nine. It's out 143 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.519 today and you can play it, and it is the Super Nintendo version of 144 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.720 F zero. So you got all those excellent Mode seven levels and the Sprite 145 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.639 and the Sprite vehicles and it looks really really fantastic and the idea of like 146 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:39.720 because they started off, well, they did what you would expect them to 147 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.919 do with a trailer like this. You start off with the four vehicles on 148 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.879 the track, it's just just F zero and then of course they like flash 149 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.440 and then all of them, all of a sudden, there's ninety nine F 150 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.919 zero racers on the same track at once. And that's as why it's even 151 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.200 wilder than the description makes it sound. Right, Yes, I mean I 152 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.559 love I love a crowd race track as is, but knowing the mechanics and 153 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.960 F zero and how much bumping into the tracks factors into your overall health meter, 154 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.519 I guess for your vehicle. Uh, it's just going to be pure 155 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.799 chaos scrub and I can't wait. Now. People are already playing this and 156 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.240 people say they got it downloaded. Jamie h Christmas Eve here in chat said 157 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.279 that they played it and it's great. They did the first minipre where they 158 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.720 finished eighteen forty and then then crashed on the final lap of the third race. 159 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.039 Yeah, it's like a lot of it's gonna come down to just trying 160 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.200 to survive that that initial batch of mayhem and then once you get past that, 161 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.159 hopefully you're able to maybe take some others out. You get do you 162 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.279 get a bonus for taking other people out? Because I'm like, shoot, 163 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.960 are you best off trying to like just stay out of the crowd? Is 164 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.159 that how you actually survive? But I don't know, you think you do. 165 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.840 The bonus maybe ticks you up to that skytrack. Maybe that's how it 166 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.080 works, the risk reward there, Oh take me to the sky Me to 167 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.159 the fucking skytrack. Absolutely, this is their F zero game, the first 168 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.799 new F zero game in almost twenty years. There was no F zero GX 169 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.559 remake. There was no new new F zero game. That is like, 170 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.679 it feels like a modern F zero game. Although you know, if you 171 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.840 could have a bone to pick about, like oh this no, this counts 172 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.840 is a modern F zero game, But uh, I guess under like, 173 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.639 fundamentally this isn't a new F zero. It is building on top of an 174 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.679 old F zero. Do you think this like leads into something new or it's 175 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.200 like this is kind of a good place for F zero to because I kind 176 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.039 of think I feel that way. I think this might be a good place 177 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.879 for F zero to be because Tetris ninety nine happened. There wasn't necessarily a 178 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.720 new Tetris game that came out on the switch, right, like, because 179 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.559 that didn't really lead into anything spectacular. Yeah, Tetris effect, it's like 180 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.600 a holy separate thing that was happening elsewhere. It got parted of the Switch 181 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.720 eventually, but it had nothing that Yeah, Yeah, totally so. Yeah. 182 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.279 Twomb Raider one through three Remastered, starring Laura Lara Croft. This is 183 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.639 a pretty decent up up res version of those tumb Rador games, at least 184 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.840 in terms of what it looks like. I've never been a huge tumb Raider 185 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.039 fan, at least for the original tune Raider games. I'm kind of interested 186 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.960 to see if they do any change into like how it controls, although I 187 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.519 expect it still to have ten controls of some form. Yeah. This is 188 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.200 coming in February fourteen, twenty twenty four, which is Valentine's Day. Which 189 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.360 is also Laura Croft's birthday, of course, because he didn't because he didn't 190 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:30.399 know. Yes, I didn't know canonical birthday is Valentine's Day because game developers. 191 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.000 Uh yeah, her chest is pointing in one of the modes, and 192 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.759 then I think you can hit a button and you can transition over to see 193 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.320 the round chest mode. So I think what they're calling it, everybody a 194 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:46.000 happy early birthday to Lara Croft exactly. Uh, Trombone Champ is coming to 195 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.559 Switch. That's got the forty five songs. It is gonna be on the 196 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.480 E shop later today actually, so if you want to get this, I 197 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:56.600 like, I like Trombone Champ a bunch, and now feel like we have 198 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.080 to subject back of Oar to it. Who was freaked out by it? 199 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:01.080 Uh, and not just the music. I don't know. Well, he 200 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.840 definitely said the music sound like third grader, which yeah, that's what trombones 201 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.399 sound like. But he's scared of the big eyes as well. So we 202 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.320 got a just a spring Trombone Champ on him when he's least expecting it. 203 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.840 Oh yeah, that's the new like Icing your Friends is Trombone Champions, Tromboning 204 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.720 your Friends. Give me your Friends as Tromboner. Absolutely yeah, oh yeah, 205 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.320 Prince of Persia the Lost Crown got another I've got another glimpse of that 206 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.240 that's coming January eighteen to the Switch. That is that later, No, 207 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.360 that's what it's coming out for everything, right, I think that's when it's 208 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.000 everything, so because it ran really good on the Switch when I played it, 209 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.840 but continues to look really good. Right, Yes, very excited for 210 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.919 that. Yep. Luigi's Mansion two HD. This is something they also previously 211 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.080 announced when they talked about that Prince's Peach game. I've never played Dark Moon. 212 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.039 I've kind of heard nothing but middling things about it. I really like 213 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:56.200 Luigi's Mansion three, but I like came around on that after only dabbling with 214 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.559 the original and never played the second one. But after really playing three, 215 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:01.960 I really like Luigi's Mansion now, so I'm like, maybe I'll give this 216 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.639 a shot. I'm expecting to be disappointed. I don't think they're gonna make 217 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.360 too many to make too many changes to how it works, but it still 218 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.600 looks fun. It's Luigi's Mansion. Yeah, I mean, I guess there 219 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.720 is like a longer stretch of time from two to three than there was from 220 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:24.000 one to two, So it may feel like you're losing out on stuff going 221 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.399 back to Luigi's Mansion two, but hey, people love spooky stuff. Yeah, 222 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.200 and I just I think they I don't think Next Level made Luigi's Mansion 223 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.879 one or two. Maybe they made two, But their speciality is animation and 224 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.440 making games look really vibrant in terms of like the living characters and fun worlds, 225 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.240 And Luigis Mansion three has some of the best animation for any game, 226 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.679 let alone a Switch game, so that that's what really what stands out. 227 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.039 And so I think going back and not having that stuff would be you'd be 228 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.039 kind of missing missing some of that. Yeah, and it's Luigi's Mansion two 229 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.559 HD no longer called Dark Moon. I think they probably are, Like people 230 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.600 will not like yeah, like they might be confused, is this the new 231 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.759 Luigi's Mansion. Then they pick it up like this feels like a downgrade. 232 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.360 Well that's why it's actually Luigi's Mansion too, So everyone just chill out. 233 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.000 Another code recollection, the Nintendo DS game Trace Memory and It's we sequel, 234 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.399 which was never released in North America, are coming together fully enhanced on the 235 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.360 Nintendo Switch system. A young girl named Ashley receives a letter from her father, 236 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.480 who she thought had passed away. Seeking answers, she sets off on 237 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.759 a solitary island in search of him. I never touched these games jan I, 238 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.039 and I'm it still doesn't look like my speed when I from what I 239 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.399 saw, But it's coming January nineteenth to the Switch as a bundle collection and 240 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.559 preoders also start today. I was honestly surprised when Backlar brought it up. 241 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.200 Yeah, apparently he played another code I guess on that, but I mean, 242 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.960 god, back then we were playing on the DS, I played anything. 243 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.000 Yeah, Yeah, I played Hotel Dusk on there, and I liked 244 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.279 Hotel Dusk. But it's like that's you would release something like that today, 245 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.840 I'd be like, I don't know if I can get to that, and 246 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.279 i'm it's just another one of those visual novels. And on the DS, 247 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.440 I would I'll play a visual novel. I don't know. Uh bandle Tale 248 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.960 A League Legends story, and Song of New New a League Legend story. 249 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.679 Let's see. Uh. Bandle Tale is a crafting rpug set in the magical 250 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.759 world of Vandal City. Song of New New is a single player, story 251 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.399 driven adventure following a League of Legends champions new new and will up will ump 252 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:27.200 willump? No no no no. Uh let's see. Bandletale is coming to 253 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.399 Switch next year. Song a new new is coming to Switch November first, 254 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:37.120 Jan tell me the truth. You're gonna play these? I will probably check 255 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:45.320 out Bandletale because I'm a fan of uh the the the Yordals in League of 256 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.759 Legends. Of course, the main main triss from my League heads band. 257 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:55.039 Bandle City is the home to the furry and thun loving Yordals I'm become aware 258 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.519 of. I think the Gimmicks would like the Ordals. Oh, I'm listen. 259 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.320 I don't want to get them in doctrineate better. We got to keep 260 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.720 these kids away from League. I can't handle that. That would be too 261 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:10.680 much. The Ordals are all meeps. Oh okay, well, yeah, 262 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.640 you know I got some good news for you. I'll tell you about it 263 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:18.720 later. Oh my god, the Ordeals are the Gimmicks would love timo. 264 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.480 Okay, all right, I'll throw some tmo adam. Maybe they could just 265 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.680 like think that these are just stuffed animals. Them some stuffed animals and they 266 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:27.240 could play these games. And then I'll never talk about the real League of 267 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.839 Legends. I don't need my kids becoming more toxic. They already make fun 268 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:36.559 of me enough. Among Us fungal map. What's a new map for among 269 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:41.680 Us? It's coming October. It looks like a sort of island map. 270 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.440 It looks like ninety nine among Us guys fall onto a map. And I'm 271 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.759 disappointed in the among Us team because I feel like they're actually they're they're very 272 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:55.079 clever. They should have just called this a fungus Yes, they should have 273 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.119 done that. Yes, that would be very good. Maybe you know, 274 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.920 write that in and get your credit and they'll change it. They know what 275 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.680 they did wrong, all right. Come on, Mario Versus Yeah, cut 276 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.440 the check. Mario versus Donkey Kong. This is the rivalry from the game 277 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.680 The Game Boy Advanced System reignites on Nintendo Switch. Donkey Kong is stolen the 278 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.279 mini Mario toys, and Mario's determined to track him down and get them back. 279 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.519 Use your brain and broun to make it through a barrel of increasingly challenging 280 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.200 levels in this updated version of the game, and you can even play with 281 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.079 a friend in local co op. You're supposed to grab the keys and navigate 282 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.720 perilous platforms with hands dan jumps and backflips, and lead the mini Mario toys 283 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.599 to safety, then prepare to face Donkey Kong head on. Mario Versus Donkey 284 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.119 Kong launches on Nintendo Switch February sixteenth, twenty twenty four. Of course you 285 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.960 could pre order it now. This it's an updated version of that Game Boy 286 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.640 Advance game. So the lineage is there's Donkey Kong ninety four, then Mario 287 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.319 Versus Donkey Kong on the Game Boy Advance was kind of a direct sequel to 288 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.720 that, with like the beginning little teases of the march of the mini stuff 289 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.359 that would come later. But this still mostly plays like that Donkey Kong ninety 290 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.200 four. I went for Donkeyko ninety four to playing the Mario Versus Donkey Kong 291 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.799 game way later after people are like, no, they did make something that's 292 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.599 just like Donkey Kong ninety four. That's what that first one is. And 293 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.960 I played it and I just really didn't like the way it looked, and 294 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.480 that kind of hurt, hurt the way it felt, so I fell off 295 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.279 of it pretty quickly. Maybe that will change here, but I also don't 296 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:18.880 like the way this one looks so much because it's a reminding me of New 297 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.480 Super Mario Brothers and I'm kind of over that. But I don't know. 298 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.880 I'm still going to give it a chance. And I love the puzzle platform 299 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.000 and stuff that was in Donkey Kong ninety four and even Mario versus Donkey Kong. 300 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.319 So it's cool that this is coming back, But I don't know. 301 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.200 Maybe I would have liked I still would have preferred I think a Donkey Kong 302 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.240 ninety four update or a direct sequel to sort of Donkey Konging ninety four, 303 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.319 and this without going the march of the Mini's route. But will Splatoon three 304 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.160 is getting there's more updates on it. It's expansion pack, which is coming 305 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.519 to Spring twenty twenty four side order. That's like the second wave of the 306 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.799 Splatoon three expansion pack. Super Mario RPG. More details on that. Dave 307 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.559 the Divers coming to Switch. That's pretty cool that that's gonna be a good 308 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:07.400 Switchgaan right, Oh, that is like you will lose hours of time playing 309 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.319 Dave of a Diver on the Switch. Yes, oh, especially on an 310 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.079 old lad not saying that I have one, but that'd be oh I can't 311 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.319 oh man, Yeah, that would look really good. Yeah, that's over 312 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:19.720 because like that would probably run just as fine as a Switch as it does 313 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:26.079 on a Steam Behole screen would be very cool. War Groove two is as 314 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.799 coming. Uh, let's see October fifth to the Nintendo Switch. Preorders begin 315 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.319 today. This is the sequel to that War Groove that an Advance Wars like, 316 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.160 but more medieval themed. There's a dog general and the dog can't die. 317 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.720 All your other characters can dive with the dog just gets knocked out jan 318 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.480 So don't don't you worry. Horizon Chase two, the racing game, that's 319 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.720 kind of I think getting ported to the Switch. It's okay. You can't 320 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.160 call a racing game and have Horizon in the title, right, it feels 321 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.799 illegal. Yeah, it feels like you're good trying to get away with something 322 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.039 that I feel like the Horizon franchise. The Horizon franchise has been around for 323 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.119 a while, but not as long as Fort's Horizon. Uh. I don't 324 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:10.480 know. Horizon Chase does like Evoke out Run, where it's like Outrun. 325 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.680 It's like that, you know, there's that awesome Horizon out there in the 326 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.880 background and then you're just going through all these superscalar sprites. I think that's 327 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:21.559 what they're going for, but still it's it's weird warrior ware move it is. 328 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:23.880 That's still coming November three. Continue to look great. There was some 329 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:29.000 excellent giftable moments from this where the characters are playing our players are playing it, 330 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:34.319 and it just looked really funny.

Uh, spy on 334 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:51.759 you, I think we're in the I think we're in the U s Weave 335 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.319 games. Yes, spy x On Yuh, this is this based on an 336 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.720 animath? You do seem to recognize this. Yes, this is based off 337 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:03.279 of the Spy Family and May is one of the characters. Spy Family's very 338 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:08.119 fun, wholesome show. Mostly wholesome, I guess yeah. People and people 339 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.640 really like it as I understand people look, people really like the mom and 340 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.000 the let me tell you, I like the mom and the trailer for this 341 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.960 game. So yeah, I understand. Super Crazy Rhythm Castle looks like a 342 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:25.720 party rhythm game where like with four players. It's coming November fourteenth. Contra 343 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:32.319 Operation Galuga, I mean early twenty twenty four. It's a reimagining of the 344 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.119 classic in neesque game. Is how they framed it. It looks like trash. 345 00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.240 I really disliked the way it looked. It looked real, real rough. 346 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:47.759 Yes, it just looked low quality and like the arts style that they 347 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.279 chose for this reimagination does not look good. No, I'm I'm there, 348 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:59.000 I'm with you. I just it's I love Contra. If you're gonna do 349 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:03.200 this, you just either use the original like a nes uh, graphics scaled 350 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.319 up and to like make it look really crisp. That would be cool, 351 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.359 or I don't know, something more stylized. What they went for just seems 352 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.359 like the lowest common denominator and I really, I really don't like looking at 353 00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.279 it. Let's see, let's go through the rest of these, pick out 354 00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:22.000 the highlights. Unicorn Overlord is uh. It's an RPG from the creators of 355 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:27.599 Thirteen Sentinels Ages rim Uh. It's a yeah developer vanilla ware, which is 356 00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:32.000 why it looked like a Vanilla Ware game. Uh, and it's it looks 357 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:33.960 like I don't know, there was a lot going on it and it looks 358 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.759 like kind of some tactics, some RPG stuff, really cool character art. 359 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:44.200 It's kind of March eighth and it's called Fuckers are coming from Yeah. They 360 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.960 want they want to get you. Jan I've I've liked some Vanilla Ware games 361 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:51.039 in the past, I haven't played most of them. I wish they would 362 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.119 release their games on on PC. They seem like they still never have put 363 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.240 most of their games on PC. Uh. This game could end up like 364 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.640 elsewhere right now though it's just announced announced for which I'd have to assume, 365 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.720 like if you're making a Switch game now, there's also going to be a 366 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:10.400 PC port for third at least yeah yeah. Uh oh man. Hey, 367 00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:15.119 if you're still somehow subscribe to PlayStation Plus thirteen, Sentinels is heading there that 368 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.599 way, go check it out. There was a Saga Emerald Beyond game that 369 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.839 is coming to Switch next year. There is a witch, a witch in 370 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.400 that game who is hiding as a schoolgirl, is what they said to me. 371 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:33.240 So, yeah, two of us has not and then is that the 372 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.240 EU didn't. Chronicle is the one that is like a sweet hundred like yeah, 373 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.880 and that's April twenty three. It's like the subtitle is hundred Heroes, 374 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.480 so you get the idea. There. There was that Eastward DLC and then 375 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.960 Battle Crush from nc Soft, which looked like a mobile Battle Royale kind of 376 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:55.160 thing. Oh right, right, I it's such a it's a bad name 377 00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.720 for a game. I know, kiddo. I'm gonna try to finish up 378 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.039 as soon as possible. We gotta. We got a kid that just wants 379 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.799 to spend time. We'll do that very soon, kiddo. We're gonna go 380 00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.559 to break here in a second before we do so. Like some breaking news, 381 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:14.400 Unity was going to have a town hall where they were going to talk 382 00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.799 to like answer questions about their decision to begin charging a fee for installs of 383 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.559 Unity games, which is a bad idea, just straight up a weird thing 384 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.359 to do, a bad idea. Some developers were like estimating, like, 385 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.759 if we had to do that, we would owe this company millions of dollars 386 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.960 and not just a way, yeah, all of our sales, yes exactly. 387 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.359 It would make them a lot of what we did, we've done unviable 388 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.440 going forward, not not viable going forward. They were going to have a 389 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.440 town hall and then they canceled it, and John ricktell says due to credible 390 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.559 death threats. So hey, don't don't threaten to kill anybody. We can 391 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.319 you can dunk on these guys all the time without having to threaten to kill 392 00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:59.799 them. But Unity kind of still just there. They've walked it back, 393 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.880 and people are still not happy because they walked it back to a position of 394 00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.599 well, we're still going to charge a fee for people installing your game, 395 00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:08.039 We're just not going to charge twice. Doesn't that make you happy? It's 396 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:11.400 like, no, listen, that wasn't insane the thing you were trying to 397 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:17.079 get away with at first. But the fundamental underlying problem here is that you 398 00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.559 want to charge us for each time of person installs a game, even if 399 00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.279 it's cross multiple platforms, even if they only pay for it once. We 400 00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:27.279 get paid once from the customer. You want to get paid twice. And 401 00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.039 that's just that, Like, how do you not see that that no one 402 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.599 else in this business gets that sort of treatment, Like that's that's not how 403 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.039 it works. Why are you special? And Unity is just like, well, 404 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:41.240 we need money, we need we need the money. That's not our 405 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.720 problem. Get fucked for catello. But you know, don't threaten anyone's lives 406 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:52.839 exactly. Yes, Oh okay, let's see here. Update from Lexi and 407 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.640 Chat. Let's see a Unity will quietly wigh controversial fees if developers switch to 408 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:02.319 its ad monetization service. Let's see. Yeah. They they want people to 409 00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:07.480 stop using other services and use Unities instead. This is from Tom Phillips at 410 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.599 Eurogamer. A fresh report into Unity's who hugely controversial decision to start changing developers 411 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:17.759 start charging developers when their games are downloaded has thrown fresh light on the situation. 412 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.200 Mobile gamer sources say Unity has already offered some studios a one hundred percent 413 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.680 fee waiver if they switch over to Unity's own level play ad platform. The 414 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.799 report quotes industry consultants that say this move is an attempt to destroy Unity's main 415 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:36.039 competitor in this field, appleven the level Play Suite of tools Apple I used 416 00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:37.960 to cover Apple Love and a lot of game speed, and every time I 417 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.680 would say it was like, that's a good name. The level Play Suite 418 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:47.039 of Tools allows you to control every aspect of your monetization strategy via endgame ads. 419 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.599 And Unity games for smartphones with various types of ads, ad testing, 420 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.880 and analytics available to serve up commercial content most likely to earn money. This 421 00:27:53.960 --> 00:28:00.200 puts the whole runtime fee announcement into the mediation war. Spotlight consultant mattage Leu 422 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.920 Carrick said, Unity is saying migrate to level play or you will need to 423 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.519 pay a ship ton of money. For those smaller developers, there's no option 424 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.079 but to migrate to level play mediation to save their companies. The rest are 425 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.319 already thinking about other game development engines Goodo or cocost two D. Unity makes 426 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.559 an oblique reference to this plan and its blog posts on the controversial fees, 427 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.920 with a note that qualifying customers may be eligible for credits towards the Unity runtime 428 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.079 fee based on the adoption of Unity services beyond the editor, such as Unity 429 00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:33.400 Gaming Services or Unity level Play Mediation for mobile AD supported games. So yeah, 430 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.000 this is like the creates and pain so that you can create the solution 431 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.880 and sell that to people instead, which is also just not a great strategy 432 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:51.519 and also seems anti competitive of jen like, there is a lot wrong and 433 00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:57.039 continues to be wrong with all of everything surrounding Unity, like right that like 434 00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:04.680 this sounds borderline illegal. Yes, And also there's there's always a level of 435 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:11.759 like bone headed moves from companies that wind up tanking the company. But this 436 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:18.359 feels like three degrees above bone head, you know, like a new plane 437 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.240 of bone head existence. Yes, where like was any thought put into this 438 00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:27.599 other than trying to get money? Of like, how is this going to 439 00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:32.880 affect our partners at all? Right, it's so fucking stupid, dude. 440 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.160 If you are a business and your strategy becomes, how can we use the 441 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:42.000 leverage we have over our customers to force them into another one of our products 442 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:48.039 so we can get more money. That is by many countries, in many 443 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.720 regions, the definition of anti competitive behavior. And you are gonna get in 444 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:57.440 trouble. They are gonna get sued for this, So look out, unity 445 00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:00.680 john rickon Tello, you, I mean, you probably can't walk this back 446 00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.799 fast enough at this point, now that this is out there and they know 447 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.920 this, if you want to avoid a much bigger headache, you're going to 448 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:11.160 be paying a lot more money to government agencies. This is, yes, 449 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:17.400 racketeering, Lexi says, yes, this is that's right. We'll continue to 450 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:21.519 see how the story develops keep up with the hit hit Ricatello with the Rico 451 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:27.759 baby. Yeah yeah, Rico Tello. This is you know, you see 452 00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:32.720 a lot of We saw a lot of developers complaining about this who make console 453 00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.319 games, and they are they are kind of just getting battered from the side. 454 00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.519 Well, Unity is really like, hey, Genchen Impact makes a lot 455 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.640 of money. We do want that Genchen Impact money. Like, that's we 456 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.279 want and on a bigger slice of that pie. And so how can we 457 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.799 craft something here so that either they have to pas us a lot of money 458 00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.200 or the ads that that that that those companies serve up they just use our 459 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.200 ads instead or our platform. Yeah, this is That's kind of how it 460 00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.440 went here, and it's it's pretty obvious and Unity has destroyed its reputation. 461 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:04.799 It's just utterly obliterated it. So yeah, yeah, there's no fix in 462 00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:07.319 this at this point. It feels like, right, no, not at 463 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:14.279 all, even from like an optics perspective, I just don't see any existing 464 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.279 indie dev choosing to be like, oh no, you know what will stay 465 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.680 Like we've already seen statements from multiple devs now saying like we're switching away or 466 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:30.359 like we're we're going to slowly pivot away from using Unity. Yeah, and 467 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:37.640 even thinking from like someone trying to get into game development, like Unity is 468 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.759 not going to be your friend at all. Ye. And it's the fact 469 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.960 that they're going to that they were going to charge for uh demos, demo 470 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:52.480 downloads is insane. Also apparently if you use Unity in a browser game, 471 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.720 you would be charged, Like that is insane, right, That's that's My 472 00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.920 first memory of Unity was like, hey, like Flash is going away, 473 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:02.440 but because there's a new thing called Unity and it's just like you hit this 474 00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:06.039 one button and installs in your browser and you can play these three D games 475 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:07.200 in there. I'm like, oh, And the next thing I heard was 476 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:10.079 like, people don't like hitting that button, so these games actually aren't gonna 477 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:13.559 work. People hate the idea of hitting a button saying, hey, this 478 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:15.640 thing might do something to your computer. They don't know what that means, 479 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:19.440 and they're scared. So Unity has never really figured anything out. It feels 480 00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.680 like other than making people mad, and now they're really good at that. 481 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:24.559 They're best that they're there that they've ever been. And you know, we 482 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:29.519 we've talked about it too, but like, just imagine if your game is 483 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:35.440 just included in a bundle, and like the bundles meant for charity. Yet 484 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:39.599 you're being charged right because your game is included in a bundle that you had 485 00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:44.559 all for all intents and purposes, wanted to raise money for a specific charity. 486 00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:46.559 Then now you're getting boned because of it. You know, they did. 487 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:51.720 Eventually they since that first announcement where that was clearly the case, they've 488 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:53.400 walked that one back. Apparently we're like, if it's for charity, we 489 00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:58.599 won't get you, okay, quiet Maine. You should have had those answers 490 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.920 ready to go right way. But the answer actually was no, it didn't 491 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.240 matter. We're going to charge you for installs, just installs, installs, 492 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:09.640 installs. God. They should also have factored in that, like game devis 493 00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:14.319 don't make a lot, y'all. Yep, he's just like, think about 494 00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:16.240 the charity of me living, and like what if you're what if you have 495 00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:20.839 been like a game that kind of goes sideways and it becomes one of these 496 00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.680 famous like oh everyone is complaining about this game. It's like you're all, 497 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.119 okay, they're already getting to deal with their customers being mad and probably doing 498 00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.799 like a lot of refunds on Steam, and then what's the policy there? 499 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.960 Do I still have to pay you because they installed the game and got their 500 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.640 money back. And this is why it's a crazy not to attach it to 501 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.400 revenue. It should only be based on revenue, because otherwise you could have 502 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:46.119 these insane situations where this where a company that has lost money still owes unity 503 00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:52.960 millions of dollars, and that's just wrong. Okay, we're gonna take a 504 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.039 quick break. When we get back, there is some news about square Enix 505 00:33:55.200 --> 00:34:00.240 getting in hot water with its investors. The Star Wars A series director has 506 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:10.239 left Respawn. We'll get into all that after this. We're back. Next 507 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:16.039 story, Bloomberg says square Enix under fire from investors. This story actually comes 508 00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:20.639 from my Nintendo News because I have a paywall. Bloomberg has published a new 509 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.000 article about square Enix. The article states that the latest game, the latest 510 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:28.519 the latest game in their Breadwinner series, their Final Fantasy sixteen, did not 511 00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.000 achieve the expected sales. According to the news site, two billion dollars of 512 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:35.760 its value has now been lost due to Final Fantasy sixteen, and now investors 513 00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:39.119 are speaking up about that. The staff the belief that the company is suffering 514 00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:43.360 from poor quality control and project planning. Over the past year, the company 515 00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:45.239 released numerous games. While some were successful, others, like for Spoken, 516 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:51.639 consume significant resources, and these games included as such as Brayley Default. We 517 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.239 talked about the story a little bit yesterday. Looked in the speculation our investors 518 00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:59.679 sort of like getting on their case about this. That seems to be the 519 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:02.400 here where internally they are in here they are hearing from their investors that we 520 00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:07.880 are going to get out. There was a word that a big institutional investor 521 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.920 left, and now more are starting to consider that as well. So it 522 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.599 was bad news yesterday and that that seems it seems to be sliding in the 523 00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:22.880 same direct direction now. Jen Square Nix is, you know, the Final 524 00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:27.360 Fantasy fourteen company, and but they can't rely on Final Fantasy fourteen forever because 525 00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.639 they have to grow. And Final Fantasy sixteen was supposed to be the thing 526 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:34.400 that made them grow. And I we again we talked about this yesterday where 527 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.880 it's like, hey, that is a difficult thing to do when you're exclusive 528 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:43.440 the PlayStation five, right, you know, for as many PS fives as 529 00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.760 there have been sold, it's still a limited install base. Yes, and 530 00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:50.519 it's uh, like, yeah, I think that the game did really well 531 00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:53.960 for what for being exclusive to a system that is still in its early years, 532 00:35:54.199 --> 00:36:00.960 coming out of a shortage of availability. But for investors, they don't 533 00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.760 really care about any of the excuses. They're like, what was what was 534 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:07.679 the solution? Oh, it's gonna be Final Fantasy sixteen, and it's not 535 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:14.000 some magical bullet, and that causes in the panic. Now investors very stupid. 536 00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:16.920 We know this. Investors panic over everything. They don't they don't, 537 00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.280 they don't understand things. There was that famous thing where it's like Pokemon Go 538 00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:24.119 was a huge success, so Nintendo's stock price went way up, and it's 539 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:27.360 like, well, no, that's you should be investing in the Pokemon company 540 00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:29.519 over there. And then like a day later like, oh, okay, 541 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.400 we're gonna solve this Nintendo stock and go get that instead because they're they're stupid. 542 00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:37.000 The investors don't know anything. But yeah, that's that. That also 543 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.960 doesn't matter. You have to placate them regardless, and Square Enix doesn't have 544 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.719 a lot of answers. It feels like and I mean, I guess I 545 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:49.280 say, what's on the horizon? Final Fantasy seven remake, A Rebirth is 546 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.039 coming soon. They're gonna have previews for that. I think people are gonna 547 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.199 be able to talk about that pretty soon. The Final Fantasy seven remake did 548 00:36:55.239 --> 00:37:00.880 about five million copies sold, uh, and that's pretty good. But it's 549 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:05.320 also not some gigantic blockbuster like some Nintendo games or even a lot of Sony 550 00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:08.920 exclusive games which do ten million or fifteen million. So yeah, I don't 551 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:12.840 I don't think they can expect that much more from Rebirth. Right, Rebirth 552 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:16.280 is going to be probably another five million, right, I have to imagine. 553 00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:21.480 Also, just like the general confusion with Final Fantasy seven remake, right, 554 00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:27.039 like, is this a different Final Fantasy seven? Is this part two? 555 00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.079 Yes, it's it's like Final Fasy seven remake. It's like, is 556 00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:31.519 this the whole game? Some people when they found out it wasn't, They're 557 00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:34.119 like, well, I'll just wait, that's gonna come soon. It's like, 558 00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.079 well, no, it's gonna be a couple of years. And I 559 00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:39.559 think that did scare off some fans. Yeah, absolutely. I guess that 560 00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:44.719 comes back to is Square Nix is messaging off? Do they have a good 561 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.440 beat on what they need to be doing with these big franchises, and I 562 00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:51.400 feel like, right now, don't no, definitely not like I hate to 563 00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:55.039 keep going back to this point, but like the marketing and the presentation of 564 00:37:55.079 --> 00:38:00.400 Final Fantasy sixteen, my opinion was like very abysy mole and did a poor 565 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:05.920 job at really showing off the good parts of that game. Right. Yes, 566 00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:10.280 Ben Star is a fantastic human beings, good spokesperson, and I feel 567 00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:15.559 like they really should have leaned into Clive more and how they present this. 568 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:19.440 If they're going to lean into whatever game of Thrones and inspirations that they will 569 00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:23.159 want to, then like lean all the way in just fully copy how those 570 00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:29.480 trailers are presented, you know, like the fantasy and we're talking h like 571 00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:34.280 medieval fantasy audience is huge. Appeal to those people, you know, appeal 572 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:39.000 to those people that bought a PS five because of Hogwarts legacy. Manage your 573 00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:45.159 expectations as well, square and look at the fucking room, right, And 574 00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:47.840 it's like, look at the room and the you know the recent history examples 575 00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.599 of that Marvel's Avengers, do you field chronicles? There's some for spoken. 576 00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.719 These are things where like like you could feel people probably saying along the way 577 00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:00.599 that doesn't seem like a good idea, but squaring it, I was like, 578 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:02.119 well, we only see the upside here and we're not looking at any 579 00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:06.559 of the drawbacks. And it's like, okay, well that's that's a problem. 580 00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:09.880 It seems such a bone headed move because I feel like there's a lot 581 00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:14.960 of special moments in sixteen, just like there were a lot of special moments 582 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.679 in Guardians at the Galaxy, but we're probably never going to see any more 583 00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:22.599 of sixteen maybe some DLC, we're definitely never going to see any more Guardians 584 00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:29.840 of the Galaxy from that specific game. And you know, I liked parts 585 00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:34.079 of Do You Field Dao Field Chronicles from what I played, but it did 586 00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:37.719 feel like a lot of it was under baked, like specifically the hub world 587 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:42.719 that you went into, especially when you were competing with other games like Fire 588 00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:45.840 and Boom Three Houses, right that came out several years ago at this point, 589 00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:53.800 but had a fantastic, pretty realized hub world and social interactions. Dao 590 00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:58.400 Field Chronicles just didn't hit on that aspect of it. Yes, and uh 591 00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:02.880 so, like when trying to diagnose with the issue here is so apparently this 592 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.639 is a quote from the story current Informer Square Unix employees, asking not to 593 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.639 be named as they're not authorized to speak publicly, pin the blame for the 594 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.559 under like cooked ideas and not well thought out ideas. They put the blame 595 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:21.159 for that on the company's approach of making every game project a single producer's fiefdom. 596 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:24.880 And an analyst was asked like, okay, are you still concerned about 597 00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:27.519 that, and they said, we, yeah, we remain concerned with the 598 00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:31.119 company's game development structure and game quality control, which could limit the long term 599 00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:37.880 performance. And that's from a Coary Capital Securities Japan analyst Josi, who wrote 600 00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:40.119 a letter to clients that's what they're worried about. And then the circ and 601 00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.960 Toto so we mentioned yesterday, says Square Nix has problems with their games output. 602 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:50.280 It's these titles get a seventy percent radio Metacritic, are kind of okay 603 00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.880 and just very forgettable, and some of them are worse than that, some 604 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:59.519 of them are better than that. And I just think that for Square Nix, 605 00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:05.599 that they they had that shotgun approach and then they have these big games 606 00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.679 and the shotgun approach they sort of just like let it fall out there and 607 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:13.159 they don't have a good approach to marketing, and then for the big games 608 00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:15.960 they do put all this market in it, and then they set their expectations 609 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:20.400 way too high, and so everything just is off kilter. Everything that they 610 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:23.800 do is just not right. Yeah, and so yeah, I'm kind of 611 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:28.239 I don't know where they go from here. Really, I don't know where 612 00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:31.519 they go. And I look at the success like Sega has been having with 613 00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:39.159 Atlas and Persona and like a Dragon now, and I feel like they are 614 00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:46.079 not actually if Square is not actually believing in any of the products they're making. 615 00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:52.480 Yeah, it's like they're working from a position of being scared right where 616 00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:54.480 we got to make this as broadly appealing as possible. I mean, that 617 00:41:54.599 --> 00:42:00.440 is maybe the biggest criticism from the fandom against Final Fantasy sixteen is too far 618 00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:02.519 and you're trying to make it too much of an action game or whatever, 619 00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:06.320 and it doesn't feel like much of a Final Fantasy game. And then we 620 00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:09.400 look around at those successes that you just mentioned jan Or Balter's Gate three and 621 00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:14.360 it's like, man, this is such a specific thing. These things are 622 00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:19.039 more their thing than they've ever been before, and they're getting rewarded for it, 623 00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:22.079 and Screen just goes in the opposite direction and it's getting punished for it. 624 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.840 Specificity is sort of broadly appealing. It turns out if you make something 625 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:30.880 as a specific thing, people are like, I am interested in that, 626 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:32.880 and I want to go figure out what that means and how to get into 627 00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.039 it, not like, oh, someone is making something that's that's easy to 628 00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:39.719 get into. There's something about gamers, so I think are very much more 629 00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:44.599 attracted to the specific thing that is a little bit harder to get into, 630 00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:52.800 but it's more rewarding. And I'm just baffled when I see games like forst 631 00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:59.400 Spoken, because I don't know who that target audience was for yeah, and 632 00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:02.440 the like I don't know. I'm just very bummed about sixteen because like, 633 00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:07.480 there's bits of the story that I really enjoy. There's parts of that gameplay 634 00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:09.599 once you get to the end, or like new game plots that like really 635 00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:14.480 sing. It just takes a while to get there. And I don't think 636 00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:21.440 Square was giving themselves enough runway to go for it. Yep, yeah, 637 00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:25.199 I think I don't. Like I grew up. I don't know how much 638 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:29.440 you've checked out the Final Fantasy seven mobile game, but that is like a 639 00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.280 gotcha mess that isn't even a good gotcha mess. That's a shame, yeah 640 00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:36.119 right, Like there's a world where like some of those gotcha games can be 641 00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:40.159 fun in a sort of guilty pleasure sort of way. And I guess this 642 00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:43.440 one's not that I did start it up, but I haven't played much of 643 00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:45.159 it. I'm like, oh, that's all played through the Final Fantasy seventh 644 00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:50.159 story and that doesn't seem like the answer, actually, And I don't know, 645 00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:54.239 Like I'm a weird defender of Strangers of Paradise. I feel like the 646 00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:59.400 game is completely disappeared from Square, yeah right, And it's like to build 647 00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:01.239 on to build on that, that should there should be something more stuff happening 648 00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:04.519 there, But I don't know they do. They do these projects and they 649 00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:06.880 kind of take a weight and see and say, I don't know, maybe 650 00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:08.880 be more attack it more aggressively and keep going and see if you can win 651 00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:14.559 people over. And like they say in the way where we're seeing Nintendo kind 652 00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:17.199 of adapt to modern times, which is a funny statement to say thinking about 653 00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:21.440 how they handle everything else. But like, you know, going back to 654 00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:24.920 what Tam had said in that interview about Super Mario Brothers, wonder about like 655 00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:29.400 younger members of the team asking why do we have a timer? Why do 656 00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:32.519 we have this? This doesn't this feels antiquated at this point. I don't 657 00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.199 think those checks are happening at Square. No, yeah, probably probably, 658 00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:43.559 And that's maybe goes back to the structure of producer fiefdoms. And yeah, 659 00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:47.360 and like, you know, people love Yoshipee and he's earned that, but 660 00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.079 totally that doesn't mean he's It doesn't mean he's never going to have a misstep. 661 00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:54.639 And people, you know what falasy His sixteen is a good game and 662 00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:59.039 a lot of people do like it, but it's it living up to these 663 00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:01.840 loftier expectation. How does Square Knicks do that? Maybe won Maybe it's not 664 00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:07.199 possible. And two maybe this is the approach they have taken is not working, 665 00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:10.159 even if the people at the top in these producer fiefdoms are very good 666 00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:14.679 at their job. Like that both can be true. All right, let's 667 00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:19.599 keep moving on here. A Star Wars Jedi series director, Stig Asmussen is 668 00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.519 leaving. Respond This comes from Chris Kellien of VGC. Stig Asmussen, the 669 00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.840 director of both Star Wars Jedi games, is leaving. Developer respond Entertainment. 670 00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:30.800 As reported by Bloomberg, Asmuson is leaving Respond and its parent company EA, 671 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:35.880 with his next destination currently unknown. After careful thought in consideration, Stig Asmussen 672 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.079 has decided to leave Respond to pursue other adventures, and we wish him the 673 00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:43.719 best of luck. An EA spokesperson told Bloomberg in a statement. Veteran Respond 674 00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:45.559 leaders will be stepping up to guide the team as they continue their work on 675 00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:50.719 Star Wars Jedi Survivor. They're also working on a third Jedi games that's happening, 676 00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.440 so Stig getting out of there before that. Just last week, EA 677 00:45:54.519 --> 00:46:00.320 CEO Andrew Wilson teased unannounced projects currently in development at Respond that one of them 678 00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:04.519 is that Jedi game. The other one is the Star Wars first person shooter 679 00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.119 game. There's a Star Wars Star Wars tax game that was announced. They're 680 00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:10.079 working with a third party developer. And then there's a skunk Works project. 681 00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:16.079 There's another action game from the guy that directed Height and Fall one. They 682 00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:21.039 Stig Gasmusten moving on, I mean, not the most surprising thing they brought 683 00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:23.440 him into. Oversee Jedi Jedi seems like it's in a good state, but 684 00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:27.480 also it could be signs that, like, hey, people don't necessarily love 685 00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.159 working under EA. That's always We've always heard that, and maybe that continues 686 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:35.280 to be the case. There is also like slight unspecified rumors of there was, 687 00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:38.280 you know, problems with the development of Jedi survivor something that's also easy 688 00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:42.199 to believe. But no, again, no facts, they're nothing that we 689 00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:46.159 know for sure. And Stiggasmussen has put out two successful games and could probably 690 00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:50.360 go out there and either get a job anywhere else or start his own studio, 691 00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:52.199 which is the next step up for him. He's you know, he's 692 00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:57.159 directed God of War three, he did uh now, these two Star Wars 693 00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:00.800 games. He could go take on his own studio and just kind of began 694 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:02.599 being like the leader of that and that's like the only place he can go 695 00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:07.400 that is above where he's at right now. So that makes some sense as 696 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:12.119 well. Respawn jan it's a company that has had has made a lot of 697 00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:15.360 great games, has a reputation now, but it's also had a lot of 698 00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:21.480 talent leave do you worry about the future of their games ever? I feel 699 00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:25.840 like that company or that that that studio has worked its way into becoming somewhat 700 00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:32.280 of a pipeline, but they maintain like the general ethos throughout right, Like 701 00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:39.840 it hasn't felt too different since being since since being part of EA, right, 702 00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:45.960 like the folks that are there there, there's been culture developed where they 703 00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:50.679 maintain it despite these folks leaving. And you know, when you're at the 704 00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:54.760 top, it must be very like stig here, it must be very frustrating, 705 00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:58.679 or you do just want to eventually move on and do your own thing 706 00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:04.039 with a little bit more freedom then you would operating underneath someone like EA. 707 00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.159 Yep. I think that's that's probably right. I think the EA is trying 708 00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:13.280 to recognize response culture. They're trying to recognize that that is a good way 709 00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:15.199 that all their studios should be operating. A big part of that is they 710 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:19.840 take a long time to prototype these things and then and then that gives them 711 00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:22.440 a lot of time on the other end to then turn that into a cool 712 00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:25.519 product. That's what happened with with Apex, legends to what happened with the 713 00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:30.239 Titan Fall games. Why they're so magical. Uh, but you gotta think 714 00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:32.920 the look at the turnaround from Star Wars Jedi Fall in order to the Survivor, 715 00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:37.159 that's just a normal amount of time for for a lot of games these 716 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:38.440 days, so they were going bang bang. Maybe he wasn't ready to go 717 00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:42.119 bang bang bang, like do three back to back. That probably would be 718 00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.760 a bit overwhelming. And that does feel like an EA mandate, like hey, 719 00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:47.400 that's a success, get working on this next one. It's like they 720 00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:51.119 would need to rushed the second one and it wasn't finished when we put it 721 00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:53.360 out, and like they just finished it. It feels like months later after 722 00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:59.280 epic update. What's what's the news on how the PC port is going? 723 00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:00.679 Because I'd like to check that. I think, you know so, I 724 00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:06.119 think the most recent patch seems to mostly fix the problems, especially on console. 725 00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:07.840 I guess I don't know for sure on PC, but it seems to 726 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:10.880 be much better off across the board. Now. It does have like better 727 00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:14.920 DLSS, I guess at this point, so things like that are in there, 728 00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.960 but I think across the board it's running much better. Uh not not 729 00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.679 to talk, not to derailist because we're running late, super late and embarrasson 730 00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:28.440 uh yo. I'm so upset that Ray Stevenson in this past because his character 731 00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:32.119 in Asoca yep, yep, just an all time that's a that's a baddie, 732 00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:37.960 right, there is a looking man just fucking owning that that white hair 733 00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:42.039 and white beard. I am devastated that he's gone because he I don't think 734 00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.360 a characters ever look cooler than Ray Stevenson. Stevenson's character in a Soca just 735 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:51.559 you cool. You could put that same character, not change anything about him, 736 00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:54.519 and put him into Game of Thrones, right exactly, Yes, a 737 00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:59.000 very Game of Thrones character. Surried. So Ray Stevenson was never in Game 738 00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:00.599 of Thrones at least not that I remember. It seems like a disservice, 739 00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:07.639 Yeah, to a real one. I love Ray Stevenson. All right, 740 00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:10.000 we're gonna jump ahead to this on here. Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is 741 00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:15.679 reportedly coming to PC. I bet that could get announced today in a state 742 00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:17.599 of play here. That's happening pretty soon. This is from Chris Gullying at 743 00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:22.079 VGC. The next PlayStation games set to be released on PC will reportedly be 744 00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:25.840 the Complete edition of Horizon Forbidden West. Deal leak's leaker Bill Bill Coon, 745 00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:30.639 who has a lengthy track record of leaking reliable information. Since the game will 746 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:32.920 be available on Steam and the Epic Game Store. Although Bill Bill Coon is 747 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:36.800 currently unable to confirm the game's release date. They say that based on previous 748 00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:40.000 data they've collected in the past, it's released should be imminent, most likely 749 00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:45.800 within the next month. That feels quick, But chance spent two years since 750 00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:49.880 that game came out. Apparently I had it flew by, Yeah really flew 751 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:54.000 by. Yeah gotta ragnar Rock actually feels like it came out like longer, 752 00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:57.199 the longer ago. But no, that one only came out last year. 753 00:50:57.440 --> 00:51:01.079 But yeah, this is two years ago. Hey, good, good for 754 00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:06.920 the Horizon the Horizon Heads get you get your feast on Share. I'll play 755 00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:08.480 it if I could put Thomas the tank Engine come on, there we go? 756 00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:15.960 Oh yeah, yeah. The latest in video drivers improved Starfield performance on 757 00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:20.840 RTX thirty and forty series cards. The certain Andrew Heaton at destructoid I did 758 00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:25.239 notice jan that the game ready drivers from Nvidia never had like the Starfield emblem 759 00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:29.599 on them, which like it wouldn't because they had an AMD deal, so 760 00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:31.320 they probably like one world okay with that, but it probably just means that 761 00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:35.719 Nvidia didn't have an early access version of the game to get their drivers ready, 762 00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:37.400 and now that they have that, it is there and the performance is 763 00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:40.559 much better. A few months before release, it was revealed that Betesta would 764 00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:45.639 be partner with AMD for Starfield, likely leaving video and Intel users worried. 765 00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:47.559 Now, Team Green has pushed out a new driver update that is said to 766 00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:52.079 boost the game by an average of five percent, which is significant from just 767 00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:57.480 updating the drivers. But yeah, you can get that driver now, and 768 00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:00.400 it's for art. It's going to prove it for RTX thirty and four series 769 00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:05.440 cards, which were just just seemingly underutilized. Uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna 770 00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.599 get this next one as well, Jan, let's do these more. The 771 00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:12.320 Mortal Kombat one review roundup. Uh. So, Dan's been playing this, 772 00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:14.840 Mike Manati has been playing it as well, and they won't shut up about 773 00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:17.719 how much they love it. Jan. They both So I'm so curious because 774 00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:22.440 we all check it out, checked it out during SGF and I liked what 775 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:25.199 I play time. Yeah, but that they're they're they're like talking about it 776 00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:29.320 in terms of beyond that. Like Dan is like talking like it's like in 777 00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:30.760 this Game of the Year list things like that, and I'm like, okay, 778 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:34.119 like and they when I asked it, like, it's just so much 779 00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:37.559 fun and the story mode is really good. You know, I really want 780 00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:43.079 like the folks that handle the story of like I want other fighting games basically 781 00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:47.000 to want to take inspiration from m story yep, and just like there is 782 00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:52.840 a rich lore that you can tell with pretty much all there every mainline fighting 783 00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:55.119 game, right yep. Yeah, I mean I think that would work. 784 00:52:55.360 --> 00:53:00.719 I mean, and even like taking other franchises and making a game based on 785 00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:02.639 them, but with like the impetus of being, hey, let's make a 786 00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:07.440 story mode with this fighting style. That could be cool as well. I 787 00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:13.400 honestly don't know why WWE or AW has not just decided, like, you 788 00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:16.480 know what, let's just go the fighting game approach. That's they're one million 789 00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:22.079 percent. Should be a fighting game like they did the mobile version, where 790 00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:25.719 those the w WW guys for superheroes leave all that shit aside. No, 791 00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:30.360 make it a real fighting game four consoles and PC with the actual wrestlers. 792 00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:35.440 That would be amazing. Just have another realm do it. Yeah, and 793 00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:37.280 they had like let another room, Yeah, make another room do it. 794 00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:40.519 That would be great. Another room's busy, but they should still do it 795 00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:45.360 all right, Let's see these scores here of video games since or Video Games 796 00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:47.880 Chronicle excuse me and gave it a five out of five. Mortal Kombat one 797 00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:51.840 is the best Mortal Kombat game to day. It looks stunning, has a 798 00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:54.760 brilliant story mode, It's new invasions mode will keep solo players busy. That's 799 00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:59.480 the Mario party style thing. That's a solo mode, and above all else, 800 00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:02.719 it's an Apple joy to play. Thoroughly essential, essential for diehards, 801 00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:08.079 laps fans, and newcomers with a k A Light press Start gave it a 802 00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:10.639 nine point five out of ten. VG twenty four seven game out of four 803 00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:15.239 out of five. Mortal Kombat one sets the stage for a new era of 804 00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:20.400 Mortal Kombat that you can't help but get pumped four. Another realm, like 805 00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:22.920 the characters in its ultraviolent universe, is staring right into the face of a 806 00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:27.360 brave new world and locking eyes with the future. Keeping those eyes in its 807 00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:31.199 head, though, may remain a challenge. Yeah, get them can get 808 00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:34.760 poked out in Mortal Combats, but a brac us in that game, so 809 00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.760 you're gonna have to probably get your eyes poked out. Cog Connectors A Cog 810 00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:40.760 Connected gave it a nine out of ten screen ranp gave it a three point 811 00:54:40.840 --> 00:54:44.400 five out of five. Mortal Kombat one is a perfectly adequate, but not 812 00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:47.719 ideal place to start. That would be Mortal Kombat twenty eleven. For returning 813 00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:51.320 players who just want to see their favorite characters again, this game will be 814 00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:53.599 a must buy if you were hoping to see the Great Kung Loo myth. 815 00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:59.119 However, or entirely new cast of characters, Mortal Kombat one isn't essential and 816 00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:02.199 brings very, very few truly new ideas to the table. I don't know 817 00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:06.519 if I want your ideas, right, I'm okay with your Mortal Kombat. 818 00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:10.360 I feel like the cameo stuff is like new ideas for the series. Definitely, 819 00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:15.840 yes, yeah, interesting, interesting, Yeah yeah. I think it's 820 00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:20.039 yeah, completely okay to have that position. But for me, I'm like, 821 00:55:20.079 --> 00:55:22.320 I don't need new things from Mortal Kombat. I just need Mortalkombat to 822 00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:27.679 be the most Mortal Kombat ever. And everyone seems degree this is that at 823 00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:30.199 the very best. All right, I gotta lies of pever of you round 824 00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:32.480 up. You've been playing? Did you play a little bit of this? 825 00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:37.559 Yes? Yes, I've played maybe like a good two hours, and I 826 00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:42.199 I think that I think everyone has to check it out. Okay, all 827 00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:45.679 right, that's that's exciting to hear. I'm good. I'm trying to make 828 00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:47.559 fun. I'm gonna beat Armored Core six and then I'll probably try Lies of 829 00:55:47.639 --> 00:55:51.800 P next. I guess uh. Game Spot gave it an a out of 830 00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:54.760 ten. For the most part, Lisap is content to adorn existing mechanics and 831 00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:59.360 ideas with its own store and aesthetic. This may be a derivative approach, 832 00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:04.000 but it nails core souls like experience, with each of its various mechanics seamlessly 833 00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:07.440 coalescing to create a thrilling action game that's challenging, varied, and dripping with 834 00:56:07.519 --> 00:56:12.760 atmosphere. Good Luck, Have Fun gave it a A and out of ten. 835 00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:15.639 This is a from Sports Illustrated. Actually, despite its similarities to so 836 00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:20.320 many other souls like games, it does enough to be different for hardcore soul. 837 00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:22.880 For hardcore souls like players, there is the promise of a new story 838 00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:28.639 and alternate ending among the difficult bosses. For newcomers, Lisa ped does a 839 00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:31.480 good job of easing you into the action, and that's from Georgina Young over 840 00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:35.480 there. Digital Trains gave it a seven out of ten. But let's go 841 00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:37.840 here to this VG twenty four seven. They gave out a four out of 842 00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:42.280 ten. There's some enjoyment to be found in Liza p Its action is competent, 843 00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:46.199 but lacks the polishing and stir of its contemporaries. Its atmosphere can be 844 00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:51.960 engrossing, but it's hodgepodge of themes and aesthetics you've seen before that never rise 845 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:54.519 above the familiar. I was never impressed by it, and I never stopped 846 00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:58.639 questioning the point of the entire endeavor throughout my time with it. It comes 847 00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:05.239 from Sharif said at the four seven. Yeah, most people seem to be 848 00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:07.639 enjoying it, and this is it's kind of like landing around where I where 849 00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:14.400 I expected. Tam posted on Twitter his his takes on it, and he 850 00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:20.280 was walking away from it very pleased. So if your other souls born heads 851 00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:23.400 out there need your stamp of approval from Tamothy, well, Tamothy gives a 852 00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:29.440 bums. Tama could be a very very tough judge of these of these games 853 00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:30.920 that are trying to be like blood born. So him coming away and I'm 854 00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:34.840 like, no, this is an admirable, admirable attempt at it that does 855 00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:37.119 a lot of things, right, That's that's encouraging. I think. Uh 856 00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:42.320 and you know the other games that have come out recently, like Wu Kong, 857 00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:45.880 I think is that did that one can come out? Yes? It's 858 00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:49.000 so confusing which ones have come out? I think that was I think I 859 00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:52.880 do think that was earlier this year, and one was fine. But I 860 00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:59.239 think Lies of p understands what it's trying to do more so, and and 861 00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.440 and and nails it, and it does a pretty good job. That's what 862 00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:07.800 Wolong, Yes, Woong is the that's right, Wolong. Okay, all 863 00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:15.800 right, yeah, I have I got something breaking news story U Hades two 864 00:58:15.840 --> 00:58:21.119 early access in Q two of twenty twenty four. Okay, all right, 865 00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:23.960 okay, I can listen. If he were just I thought you were about 866 00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:27.960 to say it's out now, because it was they originally ann would start this 867 00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:34.239 year. Okay, all right, stop being excited and also terrified because it. 868 00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:36.639 Man, if I Hates two came out right now, I would have 869 00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:38.679 been like, well that's all I'm fucking playing. Goodbye. Everybody gonna go 870 00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:43.480 into a cave. Okay, Q two next year, I can handle that. 871 00:58:43.480 --> 00:58:47.239 That's for Steam and Epic Games Oh cool, that's awesome. It's Joe 872 00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:51.840 versus I did the same chair grab as grub. Yeah. Oh my god. 873 00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:55.840 Last time it was on Epics only for the first like two years of 874 00:58:55.840 --> 00:59:00.000 its life. So that's cool. Steam Early Access will be very welcome. 875 00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:01.400 Oh I will come out and then you know, a little launch on on 876 00:59:01.559 --> 00:59:06.039 switch at some point after that, probably by then switch to boy I love 877 00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:09.800 eighties. It's gonna destroy everyone. It's gonna oh boy, I can't wait. 878 00:59:10.599 --> 00:59:14.960 Okay, let's see here. I got the poll from yesterday. Let's 879 00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:16.760 throw it up on the site here. Do you see yourself playing games like 880 00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:22.320 a Sassin Screamarage or Residue before Remake on your phone? Jim, what do 881 00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:29.079 you say? Uh, I'm not against gaming on my phone. I just 882 00:59:29.119 --> 00:59:32.519 don't want to play like Triple A games on my phone. I enjoy the 883 00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:39.639 phone game. I enjoy phone games for being like another space for indie darlings 884 00:59:39.639 --> 00:59:44.320 to pop up on. Ninety four percent of people agree with you. They 885 00:59:44.360 --> 00:59:45.920 said no, they're not going to play those games on here. Six percent 886 00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:51.119 said yes. I mean, I wonder if there's a way for them to 887 00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:53.599 shift those numbers. Probably not a huge amount, but I guess maybe if 888 00:59:55.440 --> 01:00:00.599 maybe they educate more people about like backbones, I think that might help. 889 01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:04.199 But the young audience doesn't seem to care about like physical controls. But maybe 890 01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:07.519 they don't. I don't know. I don't think they do because I'm just 891 01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:09.719 thinking of like all the younger folks that would play that. I've seen play 892 01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:15.119 Fortnite or Call of Duty Mobile and they're completely fine using the touch screen. 893 01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:21.599 Yes, exactly, So maybe maybe that doesn't matter for most of the audience 894 01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:23.320 out there that is kind of coming to the films to play games like that. 895 01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:30.599 I think what the current phone audience is looking for is just honestly nice 896 01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:35.360 cameras. What I'm looking for. Yeah, nice camera, that's the biggest 897 01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:37.480 thing I would like on my next phone. I wanted to have a much 898 01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:39.719 better video camera, but if the picture quality is the same, I'm good 899 01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:45.039 that's set on my phone. I thought about getting a burner phone because I 900 01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:49.880 just wanted to try out a Sony experience. Sure, yeah, their cameras 901 01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:53.599 are really good in there exactly. Okay, uh new poll, how do 902 01:00:53.639 --> 01:01:00.000 you grade the Nintendo Direct ABCD or F. I'll be going up on YouTube 903 01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:02.280 dot com slash giant bomb under the community tab. We can do that many, 904 01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:05.639 right, we can do five options. I think we can on Yeah, 905 01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:07.440 it's up, it's up. No, okay, fantastic, Thanks Jan, 906 01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:10.599 appreciate that. And fresh there there you go, everybody take a look 907 01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:15.559 there. Uh all right, what do we have happening on? Johan Bomb 908 01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:20.360 Jim. We have a bunch of stuff going on behind the scenes. We 909 01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:25.119 also have moved Voicemail Dump Truck from its normal slot today to tomorrow, and 910 01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:29.559 we did that because the state of play is happening.

We will still have Gamess mornings popping off tomorrow upf 914 01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:47.320 tomorrow as well. Still up in the air as to it if it'll be 915 01:01:49.039 --> 01:01:53.320 of what we will do. But hey, the FCERO ninety nine came out. 916 01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:58.960 Moral Kombat one is going to be out. Shenanigan's will and sue Voicemail 917 01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:05.039 Dump Truck.

Oh boy, 921 01:02:20.840 --> 01:02:24.760 that sounded great. That's how I'm fantastic. There sounds better? How dare 922 01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:28.800 you? No one can see this right now, but Mike totally has his 923 01:02:28.880 --> 01:02:34.079 camera on and he's just drooling on the floor. He's just he's laying flat 924 01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:36.519 on his back. I was wondering what that was. That's his carpet. 925 01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:39.039 Uh, like you are, You're not worried you're gonna say something like your 926 01:02:39.079 --> 01:02:43.519 inhibitions are down. You're gonna say something racist almost certainly, right, No, 927 01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:46.760 because when that's my real met is not racist. Okay, it's just 928 01:02:46.800 --> 01:02:54.599 it's just the character. I'm a good person. Wow. I had my 929 01:02:54.679 --> 01:03:01.800 mom record the fart to Mamma Manadi.
