In terms of the games. Yeah, the games 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,280 I've played, the games that will be coming out that I will be playing. 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,799 So it's gonna be a big breakdown of all of that. Really, 9 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,399 not a lot of plugs. Just two quick things. Of course, Patreon, 10 00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:37,119 if you want to support the show, that is the best place to 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,920 go. You get episodes early and ad free.

And then the other shout out is that I've talked about a lot 14 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:52,039 recently that I released my first game back in May. It's called Potion Problem, 15 00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:56,960 And right now the Steam Summer Sale is going on and it is on 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,479 sale for twenty percent off, So if you haven't picked it up yet and 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,000 you'd like to do so, now was a good time that sale runs until 18 00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:06,959 I think the second week of July, July eleventh, something like that, 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,680 so you have a lot of time, so yeah, go check it out 20 00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:12,400 and let me know what you think. So yeah, let's get right into 21 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:17,719 it. I'm gonna start by kind of breaking down the games that I have 22 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,079 played so far this year and just talking about the first half of this year 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,200 in general. It's been very distinct quarters. I feel like the first quarter 24 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:30,280 felt like there was just tons of big Triple A releases, some that were 25 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:36,319 like hotly anticipated games long time coming. Others were kind of more surprise hits, 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,439 I would say, with things like Hell Divers or Final Fantasy seven, 27 00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:45,319 Rebirth Dragons, Dogma two, Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth, plenty of 28 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,920 others in there too, all sorts of other things, And I didn't really 29 00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:53,000 play any of those. I for one reason or another just didn't end up 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,879 getting to them, or they're just not my cup of tea personally. So 31 00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:59,359 it was a really quiet start to the year for me. And then going 32 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,840 into the second quarter, I feel like that's where things have really cooled off 33 00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:05,879 on the Triple A front. But in lieu of that, there have been 34 00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,800 tons of big indie game releases. I don't think any of them have been 35 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,479 huge, colossal hits like I don't know a Dave the Diver or Astray or 36 00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:15,919 Cult of the Lamb, like any of those kind of big indie hits from 37 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,680 the last few years. But still some really big games, pretty relevant stuff, 38 00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:24,159 stuff that is beloved, and so that's what I've kind of been playing 39 00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:28,960 for the last bit here as well. So kind of a nice mix between 40 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,879 those two quarters. And I think going into the second half of this year, 41 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,560 there's a whole lot of everything. There's a ton more indies, though 42 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,439 usually indies wait till very last minute to announce release dates, and then for 43 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:42,280 Triple A stuff, there's some big things coming out as well, kind of 44 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,879 sprinkled throughout the next few months of the year. So yeah, I guess, 45 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:47,319 as I mentioned with like not playing a lot of those big Triple A 46 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,800 games, and I've been playing some more of the indie stuff lately. It's 47 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,560 been a so so year for me. Pretty pretty week so far. But 48 00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:58,879 I don't want to use the word week just because I didn't really I you 49 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,280 know, didn't really play a lot of them. I ompted out of a 50 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,520 lot of these experiences to some extent, so it's hard for me to say 51 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960 that. But just for the things that I have played, I've currently played 52 00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:12,520 twenty four new games this year and I have only complete eight of them, 53 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,280 which maybe that's a pretty decent ratio. What's that a third of the games? 54 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,439 And yeah, I think that just goes to show. I mean, 55 00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:21,560 there are a lot of these things are just like I checked out a demo 56 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:23,360 and played that for a couple hours, so I didn't play the full release 57 00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:27,520 or anything like that. But just breaking down what those games are just gonna 58 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:30,039 rifle them off. Here. I have played this year, turn Up Boy, 59 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,800 Rob's Bank, Powell World, Phantom Abyss, Celeste sixty four, Fragments 60 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,360 of the Mountain, Skull and Bones, Prince of Persia, The Lost Crown, 61 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:42,159 Unicorn, Overlord, Mario Versus, Donkey, Kong, Minami Lane, 62 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:46,960 The Outlast Trials, Sandland, Balatro, Botany Manor, Open Roads, Harold, 63 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,639 Halibit, Another, Crabs, Treasure Animal, Well, Little Kittie, 64 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560 Big City, Senya, Saga, Helblade two, Dread, Delusion, Rolling 65 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:59,800 Hills, Make Sushi, Make Friends, Allen Way two, Night Springs Exit 66 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,439 five, and Nightmare Kart, which is a game that just released recently. 67 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,680 I've talked about most of these on side Quest, but of course a couple 68 00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:09,800 of them slipped through the cracks, like Nightmare Card if you haven't heard that, 69 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:14,159 it's a free game on Steam and it's just Mario Kart sixty four as 70 00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:17,360 experience, but with like PS two graphics and using like very much a blood 71 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,920 Borne esthetic. It's kind of interesting. I just just barely checked that one 72 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,480 out. In terms of updates, there's also been some deal see things I've 73 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,519 played, like you know, Marvel Snap. I'm always playing that, and 74 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,439 that always has new things, new content. Warzone got a new map this 75 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,000 year, red Fall got a i'm not gonna say big, but like a 76 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,519 notable, substantial update. Multiverses relaunched and had a bunch of new characters and 77 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,120 modes and things. With that I've been playing a lot of. And then, 78 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,120 as I talked about last week on side Quest, elden Ring Shadow of 79 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,839 the urg Tree just released, so that is still very much an ongoing one 80 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,920 I think so far. From the games I mentioned, elden Rang, that 81 00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:56,399 DLC as well as dread Delusion, which I talked about a few weeks ago 82 00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,639 on side Quests, are the two games that I'm kind of still actively playing 83 00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:03,920 through a not done yet and then also a game that I have downloaded haven't 84 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,959 checked out yet is still Wakes the Deep that's on game Pass and it is 85 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,839 a horror immersive not immersial sim walking sim type experience. I've heard really good 86 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,519 things about it so far. But I'm also actively playing through Alien Isolation, 87 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,959 and I feel like they have similar vibes. So I'm gonna finish Isolation, 88 00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:23,720 I think before I jump into that one. Who knows, maybe I'll break 89 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,000 that and jump in earlier because it does look really good and I want to 90 00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:30,240 check it out. Let's let me do this. I'm gonna I'm gonna throw 91 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,160 my top ten games of the year so far, these are not ordered, 92 00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:38,399 and I'm expecting and I also even hoping that a lot of these get shaken 93 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,879 up in the second half of the year, because I think, as I 94 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:43,360 mentioned, a bit of a weaker year so far from me. I really 95 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,360 think just Blotro, which is in that top ten, that's like a really 96 00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:48,319 strong one. I know that's gonna be in my top ten by the end 97 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:50,399 of the year. For the rest of these, I could see a lot 98 00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:55,759 of them getting kicked out if a lot of these things that I'm anticipating end 99 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,120 up hitting as well as I expect them to. So my rough top ten 100 00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:02,879 is looking like this, celest sixty four, Outlast Trials, Manami Lane, 101 00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,480 Open Roads, Harold, Halibut, Animal Well, Dread, Delusion. I 102 00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:10,519 just realize they're almost all two letter words, which is fun Eleven Rings, 103 00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:13,279 Shadow of the Urge Tree. Yes, I know, I'm only like six 104 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,879 or seven hours in that DLC. It's really great so far. And then 105 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,879 Multiverses as well, which is a weird one. So yeah, obviously Eldon 106 00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:21,560 Ring and multiverses with games like that, like, okay, not a truly 107 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,680 new release, it's a DLC. I always kind of evaluate that when I 108 00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,360 am in that game of the year phase, when it's December and I'm working 109 00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,600 on my list and getting ready for those podcasts. That's when I'll really think 110 00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:36,040 about, Okay, if a DLC is like gonna make like maybe tenth on 111 00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:40,920 my list, I'll often bump it just to put new things on there. 112 00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,680 It's a very just how I feel in the moment kind of thing. I 113 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,000 think Multiverses there's enough going on with it that I could consider it again. 114 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,160 This year didn't make my top ten in the year that it originally came out, 115 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,319 but there's enough in there and if they keep adding new content. I 116 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,040 haven't played the last couple weeks honestly, but I was playing pretty hard there 117 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,839 when I first relaunched again. I haven't talked about on Side Quest yet, 118 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,800 but it's on the list, so I will deep dive on that. I 119 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,399 probably when I talk with Kirklin next, because I know he was interested in 120 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:11,480 that one. So yeah, that's kind of my my rough list so far. 121 00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:15,639 And then here are some games that are out now and I would like 122 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,759 to play, and maybe if the right sale hits this year, or maybe 123 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,160 I just end up end up picking it up, or maybe they come to 124 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,879 game Pass so they probably wouldn't I'd end up checking these out. But the 125 00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:29,160 ones that have interested me so far would be like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, 126 00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:32,040 Pacific Drive. That one. If I end up getting a new PC or 127 00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:35,360 a PS five this year, that's like definitely an immediate pickup. I'm really 128 00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:39,120 intrigued by that game, but just don't have the hardware to play right now. 129 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,839 PERSONA three reload that is on game Pass, so I might jump into 130 00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:46,279 that bandletail. I actually also have access to that one. My partner owns 131 00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:47,319 that one on her switch, so I could jump in and check that out. 132 00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:53,879 Astro Duel two, Dragon's Dogma two, Pepper Grinder, spirit Fall Indica 133 00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:59,360 the System Shock remake, which I guess was more ported and came out this 134 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,680 year as a new released, so I don't know if that will count, 135 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,839 but you know, I love me and immersive sim so that one's in the 136 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,720 contention list. And then the Paper Mario thousand Year Door remake. That'll be 137 00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:11,199 a weird one because I've never played the original, so it would be me 138 00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,399 looking at it from a new lens. But like, I don't think it's 139 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,199 that different of a game. I actually think it's more of a remaster than 140 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,439 a remake, if I'm not mistaken there. So I don't know if that 141 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,319 one would if I would even consider it eligible for my top ten lists at 142 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,000 the end of the year anyway, But it's just a bit too expensive for 143 00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:30,560 one of those remakes, so it's it's on the shelf right now. I 144 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,879 haven't picked it up, but yeah, like I am really wanting to check 145 00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:37,559 out a few of those games. Some interesting looking indies like Spiritfall is kind 146 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,919 of a platform fighter type single player game which looks really interesting indecause like an 147 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:46,799 interesting looking horror game Astro Duel too. I think if I had some people 148 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:48,000 to play that with, which I might at some point, that would be 149 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,440 really fun. That game looks great. And what else? Yeah, Like 150 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,840 I said, Pacific Drive, that's maybe the top dog right now in terms 151 00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:58,279 of the ones that I'm really salty I couldn't play. I was hoping it'd 152 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:01,440 be able to run on my laptop, but I guess I need to upgrade 153 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,360 that guy at this point. Anything else I wanted to say about the first 154 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,519 half of the year, No, I think. You know, there's a 155 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,240 lot of really interesting games in there, like Animal Well is such an interesting 156 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,679 one, and I think I had a great time with it, and then 157 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,039 when it got to some of the later like Puzzled deeper secret areas, that's 158 00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,039 when it was like, Okay, this is like a bit too obscure, 159 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,600 I think, And then it had like kind of a weird ending that kind 160 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:31,080 of surprised me and kind of came out of nowhere. So I don't know, 161 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,159 I feel very conflicted about that one. Dread Delusions like a really interesting 162 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,960 game so far, but I don't know. How different or how much it's 163 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,320 gonna evolve. It seems fairly simple for a game like that, So there's 164 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,519 definitely some in here that I might revisit as well or spend more time with, 165 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,879 and that could shake things up as well. How about with that we 166 00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:56,879 we jump right into the second half of the year. I'm gonna go month 167 00:09:56,919 --> 00:10:00,799 by month here and yeah, here's my kind of list. This is not 168 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,799 a comprehensive list of games coming out. If you want to do that, 169 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,759 the best places I just go Game and four. If you search Game and 170 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,120 Former twenty twenty four, they have like a really well written list. There's 171 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,679 no fluff in there. There's like a couple images, but it's not like 172 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,440 Adrid and it's really easy to see the release dates for everything. So that's 173 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,360 usually where I go. But this is my personal list of games that I 174 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:22,440 am either for sure picking up or maybe just intrigued by and want to wait 175 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,279 for it to come out and see how it goes, or maybe I just 176 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,480 don't even see, like how much it's gonna be when it releases, and 177 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,120 that would be the deciding factor. But yeah, the first one up here 178 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:33,159 is I guess this is gonna be able the day this episode drops on the 179 00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:37,559 free feeds The First Descendant. I think that is a free to play game, 180 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,559 multiplayer shooter thing. I don't really know that. It was at Summer 181 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,919 Game Fest, but like the gameplay was kind of confusing, I guess, 182 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,320 so it's free to play. I might check it out. It's July second. 183 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:52,960 Flint Lock The Siege of Dawn is coming out July eighteenth. That one 184 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,840 is game pass game, so I'm gonna be checking it out. It's kind 185 00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:00,000 of like a Solsy like combat sort of situation, but with a little more 186 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,600 gun play, so I guess maybe I should compare it more to a Bloodborne 187 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:07,279 or something. Looks interesting. I don't know if you pronounce this one skim 188 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,440 shim it's s c h I am. This is coming out July eighteenth as 189 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,240 well, and this is a I guess a puzzle platformer that I've had my 190 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,240 eyes on for a while. Here. The idea is that you're this little 191 00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:24,759 blobbed head character and the only way you can move around is by jumping in 192 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:28,080 shadows. So there's like you jump into the shadow of a light post, 193 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,720 and then maybe if they jump in the shadow of someone who's walking and follow 194 00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:33,120 their shadow along until you can jump behind the shadow of another object. It 195 00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:37,960 seems really interesting, and yeah, I might pick that one up. Frost 196 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,799 Punk two this is another game Pass game. It's coming out July twenty fifth. 197 00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:46,000 I haven't played the first frost Punk, but you know, the great 198 00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,440 Tiler Briggs is a big fan of that game, and yeah, I definitely 199 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,960 want to check it out as well because I like sim strategy sort of games, 200 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,559 so I'll definitely jump into that one. I just heard about this game. 201 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,600 It's called The Crush House, coming out on August ninth. I don't 202 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,879 know if I'll be picking this one up, but it looks really compelling. 203 00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:07,960 This is a game in which I don't know what the player like, who 204 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,600 you are, what your perspective is. But the idea is that it's a 205 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,879 reality TV show kind of dating show, and that's like the initial hook. 206 00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:20,000 But then they've talked about how there's like a darker side to it, or 207 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,440 there's something secretive or under the veil going on, and so I don't know 208 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,159 what that means exactly or what the gameplay would be like, but I think 209 00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:31,399 it's a really compelling idea, Like I can't think of many games that have 210 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:37,320 taken like reality TV and tried to turn that into a game format. So 211 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,240 intrigued by that one. Streets of Rogue two is coming out August fourteenth. 212 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,360 I've not played the first one, though I've heard really good things about it, 213 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,399 and it seems like very much up my alley. I actually saw once 214 00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:52,120 again on that Steam Summer sale that the first one is on sale for a 215 00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:54,399 pretty steep discounts, so I actually might pick it up and play it soon, 216 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,519 and that would probably be the indicator of why I'd go for Streets of 217 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,000 Rogue two. And I think with the second one, it's more I guess 218 00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:05,080 the first one is I guess. I guess it's like a sandboxy type game, 219 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,600 like very immersive sim in terms of there's a lot of different solutions for 220 00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:11,039 the problems, and I think the first one you're going through levels taking people 221 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,639 out, accomplishing tasks. The second one is like a fully open world game 222 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,440 from what I understand, which is a really interesting idea. I love the 223 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:24,080 pixel art. The art style looks really great, just like silly fun just 224 00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:28,480 a video game ass game, you know what I mean. So I don't 225 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,840 know, I've got my eyes on that one once again. That was August 226 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:35,720 fourteenth, and then jumping up August twenty ninth is Visions of Manna. This 227 00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:39,240 one's on my list because I love the visuals. I think from the combat 228 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:43,320 I saw from a couple of showcases, it looks really good. But I'm 229 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,000 not gonna drop those eighty Canadian dollars on it plus tax I probably not, 230 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,559 let's be honest, But it's still on my list just because I think it 231 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,879 looks great. I'm really intrigued by it. The next day, August thirtieth, 232 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,559 is Star Wars Outlaws, which if you listen to you are ub Soft 233 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,000 forward covered, you would know that, Yeah, this game is gonna be 234 00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:07,759 on Ubisoft Plus, ubi Soft Play. No, it's EA play ub Saw, 235 00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,720 I think it is Ubi Soft Plus. It is on ubi Soft's game 236 00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:13,960 Pass equivalent. So that's a game that I'm definitely gonna play now. I'm 237 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,279 gonna pay whatever it is ten fifteen bucks to get a month and play it 238 00:14:18,279 --> 00:14:20,720 for a few hours, talk about it. Travis and Taylor picking that one 239 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:24,320 up as well, and I'm pretty excited for I think it. As I've 240 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,679 mentioned many times, I'm on a very very low hype level four star Wars 241 00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:31,679 generally, but this game does look really fun. I really like a lot 242 00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:33,480 of things going on. It seems like it's very diverse, and it's mechanics. 243 00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:35,440 I like this said, you know, I like the type of character 244 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,519 you're playing. I'm not a big UBI Soft guy, so I don't I 245 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:41,759 don't think it'll be a huge hit for me, but I'm gonna at least 246 00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:46,480 give a shot, and I'm excited to do so. August thirtieth. And 247 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:52,200 then there is Harry Potter Quiddage Champions that's coming out September third. We talked 248 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,399 about the Summer Game Fest. I'm probably not gonna pick that up. I 249 00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:58,960 don't think it looks very good. It's on PlayStation plus, I guess, 250 00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:01,720 so that would be that's an easy way for people to jump in. I 251 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,679 also am a kind of quiddit chater. I probably won't play that one. 252 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,519 But you know, I wrote down games here that are kind of tangentially relevant. 253 00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:11,600 I could see a world where I pick it up and that's like all 254 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,799 it digs to get put on my little tracker here. And then we have 255 00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:20,360 Age of Mythology retold September fourth. I still don't know if this is a 256 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,159 remake of an earlier Age of Mythology game or more of a kind of revamped 257 00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:28,000 modern version, But either way, I love the visuals of it from the 258 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,440 Xbox showcase scene more of that, I think it just looks like fun. 259 00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:35,080 I've never really played Age of Mythology or Age of Empires, so it is 260 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,200 a blind spot for me. I'm just excited to check this one out because 261 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,080 it's there through game Pass and just see what it's all about, because it 262 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:48,879 seems really fun and definitely to my style. Moving on, we have September 263 00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:52,960 eighth Is Stalker Too Hard of Chernobyl. I think that game looks fantastic. 264 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,519 I'm really excited for it. Once again, another game Pass game here. 265 00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:00,639 I just think that the combat looks fun, the story and setting interesting. 266 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,840 I haven't played the first Talker, and I don't think I will before this 267 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,039 one comes out, but yeah, this is gonna be a day one for 268 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,320 me. I'm very excited to go check this one out. September twelfth is 269 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,519 a game called The Chef RPG, which truthfully I don't know a lot about 270 00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,000 the reason. I do have it on my radar to some extent, and 271 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:22,799 it's been on my radar for a few years. Is because the artist or 272 00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:29,360 one of the artists has a YouTube channel where they post just kind of the 273 00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:32,799 making of certain scenes in the game and how they built it. It is 274 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,919 beautiful pixlart. One of the best looking games I've ever seen, And as 275 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,919 someone who's been getting really into art and doing pixel art and trying to get 276 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,440 better at that as a craft, I've just got so much motivation and learned 277 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,879 interesting tips from that person. So that's why the game's on my radar. 278 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:52,559 I don't truly know much about what the gameplay is gonna be like. It 279 00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:56,120 looks like a you know, a top down RPG sort of situation. I'm 280 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,480 hoping the chef RPG angle of the chef side of it, that it'll be 281 00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,079 more of like a slice of life sort of game, or less about combat 282 00:17:03,079 --> 00:17:07,359 and more about just honing your skills or maybe you know, collecting resources and 283 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,160 then making meals. I'm not really sure, but it looks really, really 284 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,400 beautiful, and that's honestly all it takes for a game to be on my 285 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,519 radar. Sometimes. Next up and I will at the end of this I 286 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,720 am going to do a breakdown of my just my top five most anticipated. 287 00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:27,079 This game might be my number one most anticipated. It is UFO fifty coming 288 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:32,000 out with September eighteenth. I haven't talked about this on side Quest recently. 289 00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:33,880 In fact, maybe last time I talked about it was even before side Quest 290 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,440 existed, because this game has been announced for a very very long time. 291 00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:41,880 But it finally through not Summer Game Fest, but one of the associated events 292 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,759 they have the devs they finally announced. They really state for it. If 293 00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:48,279 you don't know what UFO fifty is, go check out a trailer. It's 294 00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:52,599 not gonna be for everyone. It's definitely my cup of tea. The pitch 295 00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:56,240 of it is that there is kind of this alternate timeline I suppose where there 296 00:17:56,319 --> 00:18:02,799 was this video game studio or company called Ufosoft that had I don't know if 297 00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:03,799 the idea is that they had their own console, and I think it is 298 00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:07,279 they had their own console and their own catalog of games that they created that 299 00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:11,319 are all kind of, you know, cohesive, very much similar to like 300 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:17,240 the NES in terms of the scope and I guess capability of the games, 301 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,400 but with just like a bit of a different art style. This is still 302 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,039 pixel art. And so the idea is that this UFO fifty game has fifty 303 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,680 games in it, and they're not micro games. They've made that very clear. 304 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,839 They are. Some of them are hours and hours long. Some of 305 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,599 them are like, you know, maybe like a one on one fighting game. 306 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,000 So that's something like you don't you could spend five minutes with it, 307 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:38,200 or you could spend hours and hours getting really good at it. But yeah, 308 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,400 it's got a fighting game in it. It's got puzzle games, it's 309 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:48,680 got JRPGs, it's got sports games in it. It's got multiplayer things like 310 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,079 coach call things as well as just full single player experiences. It's got all 311 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,880 sorts of things. It's made by some really well known developers. Most notably 312 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:02,960 for me is is Derek you who is the creator of the great Spoilunky and 313 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,039 so he's you know, if he made a one game in this pack, 314 00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:07,920 I would probably pick it up. But he's worked on many of them, 315 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,680 and that's what intrigues me about it. So, yeah, fifty games for 316 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,400 the price of one. Like I said, super hyped for that. One 317 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,240 cannot wait for it. September eighteenth cannot come soon enough. After that, 318 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:22,839 it's gonna be our history untold. September twenty fourth. This is the kind 319 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:30,200 of Civilization five type game. It's made by Civilization five developers, and you 320 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,920 know, SIV's kind of gone in a different direction our history, and told's 321 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,599 more like, what if SIV five got a sequel instead of that wasn't CIV 322 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,000 six, you know, like a one that was more directly like, let's 323 00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:44,160 take SIVI five and d rate on that. It looks amazing. I don't 324 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,640 know if it will run on my laptop, that's really the only factor. 325 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,839 If it does, I will play the hell out of this game. If 326 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,880 it doesn't, you know, it might take a bit, but next time 327 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,200 I get a PC upgrade, I would definitely go crazy on this game. 328 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,079 It looks fantastic, and that's you know, my hype levels there, even 329 00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:03,039 though SIV seven is already announced as well, like that those two things exist. 330 00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:04,960 But I'm very, very excited for this one. And then a couple 331 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,079 of days after that, September twenty sixth is the Legend of Zelda Echoes of 332 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,240 Wisdom, the new Zelda game where you Geld play as Zelda. I loved 333 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:18,160 Links Awakening remake on the Switch. I thought it was a really really great 334 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,799 time. This game has the same art style, looks very similar in terms 335 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,200 of some of the gameplay elements of it. So I think this is gonna 336 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,920 be right up my alley, and you know, justice for Zelda that she 337 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,720 finally gets to be playable in like a I don't know, are we calling 338 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,519 this mainline game? I think I will called mainline game. There's clearly a 339 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:36,359 deviation between this and The Breath of Wild Tears the Kingdoms of the World, 340 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,519 but I still think it's a relevant a relevant pick here for the main mainline 341 00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:44,200 series. But yeah, I cannot be more excited for that. I think 342 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,119 it looks really really good. And then we move into October. October seventeenth 343 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,359 is Super Mario Party Jamboree. I talked about this on the when we broke 344 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,000 down the direct. I think this game looks great. I was a really 345 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,079 big fan of Superstars. I didn't really love Super Mario Party necessarily, but 346 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,599 I think this game just looks like it has a lot of variety to it. 347 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,000 I like the big spot, the characters, it looks good, minigames 348 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,599 look fun. The kind of Fall Guys type mode for it looks really interesting 349 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,880 as well. So yeah, this is me and my partner. We love 350 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,079 playing Mario Party. This is gonna be a Day one pick up for us. 351 00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:18,440 It's just gonna be a good time. We know what we're gonna get. 352 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,279 It's not gonna blow me away, it's it gonna be my top ten. 353 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:23,119 Probably not, but it'll be an honorable mentions. That's my prediction at 354 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:29,519 least. And then there is Call of Duty Black Ops six October twenty fifth, 355 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,240 So yeah, for years, like I don't buy Call of Duty, 356 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,720 I'll play war Zone because it's free and you know, playing it with Travis 357 00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:38,079 and Taylor and Kirkling and all that. But you know, Call of Duty 358 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,359 is now on game Pass, so I will check it out. I will 359 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,279 play some of the campaign. I will play zombies, probably a lot of 360 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,640 zombies. I love zombies. And I'll check out some of the standard multiplayer 361 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,599 as well. I don't think this one's like super high up on the hype 362 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,680 list for me. I'm just it's just nice that I'll be able to play 363 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,400 it through my subscription that I already subscribe to, so I will definitely be 364 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:03,079 checking that one out. And then we have Mario and Luigi Brothership November seventh. 365 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:07,039 I put this on my list because I think that was an amazing trailer 366 00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:10,799 that it had at the Nintendo Direct and all. Honestly, I am not 367 00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:12,599 gonna pick this game up. It's just if it was cheaper, Yes, 368 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,480 if it was a thirty forty dollars game, sure, I'm not saying that's 369 00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:18,759 what it's worth. I'm just saying that's what it's worth for me. So 370 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,640 I am I'm not gonna be picking this one up day one. Maybe sometime 371 00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:25,240 down the road. I think it does look really solid. I would would 372 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:30,200 like to play it in another world. Slitterhead is the day after November eighth. 373 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,559 This is that weird looking horror action game from I think it is the 374 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:40,119 Silent Hill. Some of the Silent Hill creators looks really wacky and weird. 375 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,519 Honestly, I wish it came out earlier. If this was an October pick. 376 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:48,559 I've definitely made a couple impulse October Bys for scary horror games, just 377 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:51,960 because I'm in those months. In that month, I'm trying to just play 378 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,440 a bunch of horror stuff. I'm trying to get in that mood. So 379 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,000 it's a bit of a bummer that is coming out actually afterwards. So I 380 00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:00,880 don't know, I doubt this is a day one for me, but sometime 381 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,720 down the road I'll definitely check it out. November fourteenth, we have Dragging 382 00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:11,519 Quest three, the HD two D remake. Looks good. I mean it 383 00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:17,200 looks great visually, looks decent on the gameplay side of things. I don't 384 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,440 know. I really want to pick this up, but once again, it's 385 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,680 a price tag thing, so this will probably sit on the wishless for a 386 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,720 bit until it drops lower lower in price, and that's when I would probably 387 00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:29,960 pick it up. But looks really good. And then the last thing with 388 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:34,000 an actual date for me is Assassin's Creed Shadow is November fifteenth, which similar 389 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,519 story to Star Wars Outlaws. Normally I would not pick this up, but 390 00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:42,880 it's going to be on the UB self streaming service day one, so I'm 391 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,759 gonna subscribe again for a month, so look out. They're gonna get what 392 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:49,000 thirty bucks out of me twenty five bucks whatever it is for two months, 393 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,720 and I will jump jump in and check this out. You know, I 394 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,319 love Ghostsushima, so there's a world where I do love this game, but 395 00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,400 I just I've really bounced off Assassin Screeds in the past. We'll do a 396 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,440 little mini announcement here. I think we are planning to do a one episode 397 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,720 Assassin's Creed retrospective. We're gonna pick one of the games and do a retro 398 00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:11,319 of that leading into Shadows, which I think is for me, is selfishly 399 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,960 is the thing I want to do because I want to learn more about this 400 00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:18,400 series. Honestly, mostly because Taylor loves these games so much and I want 401 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,240 to be more knowledgeable on them when I talk to him about it, and 402 00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:23,799 just because it is something that he loves. But yeah, it's all. 403 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,039 It definitely has been a blind spot for me. There's so many of these 404 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:29,880 games. I've played a little bit of origins, I played a little bit 405 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,359 like one or two back in the day, but I've not really played a 406 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,559 whole lot of them. So yeah, I'm definitely gonna whatever play that, 407 00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:40,799 whatever whatever one we do for the retro and then jump into Shadows as well. 408 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,599 So yeah, looking to patch that backlog hole a little bit. How 409 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,920 about I take a quick break here, I'll take a sip of water, 410 00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:52,400 and we'll be right back to talk about the rest of my list. We 411 00:24:52,440 --> 00:25:00,960 will be right back. Okay, So now on the list here, we 412 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,640 are going to be talking about. These are games that are supposed to be 413 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:10,079 coming out this year but do not have a release date. So first up 414 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,400 Lego Horizons Adventures. But this one year because it's supposed to be coming out 415 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,079 on the holiday, so we can I guess assume that means November or December, 416 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,920 but who really knows what that means. And yeah, I talked about 417 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,319 this, you know, recently on Summer Game Fest. I'm probably not gonna 418 00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:29,559 pick this game. It doesn't look like my cup of tea. I like 419 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,839 some Lego games, I like Horizon zero Dawn, but there's something about this 420 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,440 that's just not clicking for me in terms of the connection of it. So 421 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,960 this will probably not be a Day one for me, but it's cool that 422 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,720 it exists. Next up Wonder Stop. This is from the Summer Game Fest 423 00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:48,759 showcase. This was the game where it looks like you are making tea or 424 00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:52,920 like a little tea vendor, so to speak, a little teawalla, you 425 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,680 own your little place. It looks like you're almost making potions, which obviously 426 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,119 I'm very inclined to like that aesthetic in a kind of interesting fantasy, cutesy 427 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,880 sort of world. But then there's a darker twist. There's something going on 428 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,000 underneath as is made by the Stanley Parabole team or some of those devs at 429 00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:14,319 least, And Yeah, I think it looks really compelling, really interesting. 430 00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:18,839 I hope it comes out this year. Similarly the Plucky Squire. This game 431 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:21,519 has been on my radar for a couple of years. This is that game 432 00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:23,480 that has kind of both. It looks a bit like a zeld like you 433 00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:27,440 look like a Link type character. So it starts out top down, top 434 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,799 down Zelda sort of style, going around doing puzzles, a little combat sequences, 435 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,440 but then at some point you realize that you're in a storybook, and 436 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,599 you pop out of the storybook into a three D world, and then you're 437 00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:41,960 roaming around I assume like a child's bedroom. You're on the desk, and 438 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,640 then you go and you're climbing up books and climbing around ledges and stuff, 439 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,680 and so you're making progress once getting in the book, you're making progress in 440 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,119 that open world or the three D world, and then you're kind of I 441 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,960 presume you're going back and forth kind of between those. Looks really great, 442 00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:00,279 amazing art style on this game, but just super inventive, super creative idea 443 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,119 and it's taking that it and then just looks like it's absolutely nailing it. 444 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,359 And I think from all the previews and things I've heard, this game does 445 00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:11,319 hold up to the hype level that looks like, So I cannot wait for 446 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,359 this game. I think looks fantastic. Next up is gonna be Skate Story. 447 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,599 This is there's a lot of skateboarding games coming out recently, and this 448 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,640 is the one that, excuse me, looks a little bit trippy, like 449 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:30,200 you're almost like a crystalline like glass type character. You're in like hell pretty 450 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,839 much, and when you bail, like you shatter to a million pieces. 451 00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:37,559 It just looks weird and interesting. Considering skateboard is still going to take years 452 00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:40,400 and years, it seems like, and there's no new Tony Hawk thing coming 453 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,799 out anytime soon, it appears, I think this is a really nice thing 454 00:27:42,839 --> 00:27:45,960 to play in the meantime. And Yeah, like a lot of the other 455 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:51,079 skateboarding games that have come out recently, like like Session and other ones that 456 00:27:51,079 --> 00:27:53,759 I can't remember the name of, skateboard, this one looks the most compelling 457 00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:56,680 to me because it is doing something distinctly different. Oh Hell, skate is 458 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,559 another one that looks really interesting as well. So yeah, I think this 459 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,480 one is uh is gonna be quite interesting. I don't know what the I 460 00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:07,279 guess the larger gameplay is like, like I've seen, you know, footage 461 00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:10,400 of what the skateboarding looks like, and that looks good, But I don't 462 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,359 know what the larger thing is. Is it or a story to it is 463 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,200 a more arcadie. I'm not sure, and I don't even know what I 464 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,359 want, honestly, I don't know if I just want to get in there 465 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,240 and have that gameplay or if I do want more of a story focus. 466 00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:22,480 So I don't know. I'm curious to see more about that one. The 467 00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:26,640 next couple of Yere games here are gonna be a couple of game pass ones. 468 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,759 So Indiana Jones in the Great Circle. This is coming out at some 469 00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:33,720 point this year. They've said, I don't think this game looks amazing, 470 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,599 but I just visually, honestly, and they've so far, like a lot 471 00:28:37,599 --> 00:28:41,680 of stuff we've seen have been really story focused. But I did play a 472 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,880 Wolf and Segin game recently made by Machine Games, and I really liked it. 473 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,440 It was a lot of fun, So I am looking forward to this 474 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,480 I think I am gonna like it. I just don't think it's been showing 475 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:53,400 well at least that's what I'm hoping for. So I don't know. Whatever 476 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,279 it is. I still gonna be playing at day one for sure, and 477 00:28:56,319 --> 00:29:00,640 I hope it's great. And then after that avowed that is the new Obsidian 478 00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:06,640 RPG, the fantasy game. This is a game that I think has shown 479 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,559 poorly at some showcases, and the other time is shown really well. I 480 00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:12,480 think for me it's better. It is like the showcases the trailers for some 481 00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:15,400 reason, they don't look amazing there. But then when they do the deep 482 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,599 dives and I hear the developer interviews and I see more extended deep dive footage, 483 00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:22,559 that's when I'm like, Okay, this game does look fantastic. I 484 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,119 do have my expectations set lower on it, just because of the scope and 485 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,759 scale and how the developers talked about I think they've been very open in terms 486 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,920 of like what this game is gonna look like. They keep saying over and 487 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,680 over again, do not expect Skyrim. This is not a Skyrim scale thing. 488 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,279 This is not as wide as Skyrim is in that way, but hopefully 489 00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:48,039 it can be as deep and interesting, and yeah, I liked Outer Worlds 490 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:49,279 enough. It's a game I soured on a little bit on a second play 491 00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:52,920 through, but I still had a great time the first time through in the 492 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,720 first twenty thirty hours, and so I'm sure that's gonna happen with the Vowed 493 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,319 once again. And it's the setting and I enjoy more. So Yeah, 494 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:03,160 very very anticipated that one. Next up is Earthplay. This is the new 495 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,799 game from the Celeste team. I doubt it's coming out this year. I 496 00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:08,400 don't think it's officially been pushed. The initial trailer I believe did have a 497 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,160 twenty twenty four on there. I want to talk about this one too much 498 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,759 because I don't think it's actually coming out this year. Followout London this was 499 00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:18,839 the big mod for Fallout four that was follow Out London. Just a new 500 00:30:19,119 --> 00:30:23,960 huge city, looks great, and then they pushed it. They delayed it 501 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,079 when the next Gen patch came out, because I just borked a bunch of 502 00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,880 things with their mod, so really unfortunate telling me that that was like a 503 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,640 shadow drop from Bethesda. That kind of screwed over these developers. But you 504 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,400 know, if you're a modern I guess that's what you can expect you're kind 505 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,279 of a second class citizen in the developer world there, I suppose. So 506 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,039 I yeah, I really looking forward to it. I think when it does 507 00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:47,680 come out, that's when I'll redown download Fall at four and play it again. 508 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,480 It's been a long time since I've played that game, but I think 509 00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:55,000 that'll be finally the thing that kicks it into gear for me. Next up 510 00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:57,559 is Blackmith Wukong, which actually, I think this dove does have a release 511 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,559 date, so let me check here, that is coming to August twentieth. 512 00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:06,000 Okay, so I'll throw a date on that and put that on my list 513 00:31:06,039 --> 00:31:11,079 here. This is the game that just has some of the craziest visuals you'll 514 00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:14,240 ever see, just in terms of fidelity. It's a souls like type game. 515 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,960 It looks really great. I am I've talked about before, like souls 516 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,920 like games. You really need to sell me on like a concept or something 517 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,119 more to it, just because I gameplay wise, I don't necessarily seek that 518 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,480 out, especially because I'm getting my elden ring fixed, and honestly, with 519 00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:29,920 how big this dealc seems to be, it might last me a couple of 520 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,960 months, so even into August potentially so I probably won't pick this up day 521 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,160 one, but it looks fantastic, and I don't know. If everyone I 522 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,720 hear to talk about it is just praising it to the Nine Divines, then 523 00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:44,880 I might. I can see myself picking it up. I could see it 524 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,519 happening. Next up is Mina The Hollower. This is the Shovel Knight teams 525 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:53,119 new game, kind of a Zelda links Awakening, not like the new lengths 526 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,559 a Waking, but the old original Links Awakening kind of style game. It 527 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,279 just looks really good and really smart. I love the visuals of it. 528 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,240 This is gonna be a Day one for me whenever it drops. I didn't 529 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,039 love Shovel Knight necessarily, but I think that team is really great at what 530 00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:15,240 they're doing in terms of bringing back these retro I guess what I want to 531 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,559 say, I guess the genre. I mean, obviously platforms never really went 532 00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:21,880 anywhere. They're making these very authentic like any s style games, but with 533 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,920 modern sensibilities. I guess that's a better way to say what I was thinking. 534 00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:28,559 And yeah, mean of the Hollower. It looks like in that exact 535 00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:31,799 same ballpark. So very very excited. Beastie Ball is next. Up, 536 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,480 and this is a game that I'm kind of I'm kind of so so on. 537 00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:38,359 This is from the team that made Chickery, and Wonder Song was their 538 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,960 game before that. I played Chickery, I think it was earlier this year, 539 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,720 maybe it was last year, and absolutely loved it. Such a great 540 00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:50,480 game, so inventive and interesting and compelling. And this game is their new 541 00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:53,759 one where you it's almost like a Pokemon like a collecting kind of game, 542 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:59,839 and then the combat are like these voldeyball type puzzle things, so it's a 543 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,440 weird mash up. It's interesting. I don't actually love the art style and 544 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,000 like necessarily what I've seen so far, but I think Chickory was just such 545 00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:09,680 a good game that it makes me want to pick this up either way, 546 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,160 so I probably will next up. This is maybe one that a lot of 547 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,559 people would forget about John Carpenter's Toxic Commando. Honestly, this game is probably 548 00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:22,240 not coming out this year. I feel like it would have been at Summer 549 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,799 Game Fest to some extent if it was coming out this year. I don't 550 00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:30,559 think this game looks amazing by any mean, but it just looks like dumb 551 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,519 fun and you know, sometimes I need that. Sometimes I just need a 552 00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:35,759 first person shoot with that's dum fun. I don't even know if it's Gains 553 00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:37,599 the Firsterson shooter. I kind of forget, but whatever, it's on my 554 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:43,079 list. Next up the Rise of the Golden Idol, which is a surprise 555 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,079 sequel because I think the Case of the Golden Idle the Predecessor came out I 556 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,400 think last year. Maybe it was two years ago, late two years ago 557 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,720 or something, but it came out very recently, so it's interesting that they 558 00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:55,000 already have another game coming out, and I think they switch up the art 559 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,519 style quite a bit. I think it is going in more three DS type 560 00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:02,240 of setting, like a good mystery game. I feel like it's a very 561 00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:06,599 rare genre actually, Like there's point and click adventure games, which I guess 562 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,519 you'd put in that caliber, but in terms of games like Outer Wilds or 563 00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:15,159 Return of the oprah Din, I think those style of mystery games are pretty 564 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:21,000 rare. And this the first game and presumably this one, are gonna be 565 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,679 in that camp. My partner has been playing Case of the Golden Idle and 566 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:29,599 loving it, and so yeah, I probably will play the first one before 567 00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:30,440 I come to Rise the Goldennitle to be honest, so I don't know if 568 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,440 that'll happen this year, but definitely a game worth putting on your radar if 569 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:42,320 you're into mystery type games. Okay, next up, shant Chante Chante Advance, 570 00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:45,719 Risky Revolution. I don't think I've ever pronounced that character's name out loud, 571 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,360 so apologies for that pronunciation. This is a very interesting game, and 572 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,760 I don't actually know if it's coming out this year, but this is essentially 573 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,800 a new game Boy Advance game where I think it was maybe originally a game 574 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,760 Boy Advance game that got canceled back in the day, and they're like actually 575 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,920 finishing it and releasing it. They're releasing it on game Boy Advance, and 576 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,960 I almost bought it because I love that system, but I was like, 577 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,480 Okay, I don't actually know anything about this series, so I don't know 578 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,639 if I should just like impulse by this, you know, now expensive game 579 00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:15,360 Boy Advance thing. But then they're also going to release the game on you 580 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,440 know, Steam and Switch, I think without the game Boy Advance cartridge, 581 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,519 because that would be a very risky business move, I think in the year 582 00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:23,719 of twenty twenty four. But I just love that idea. I think the 583 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:29,800 Game Boy Advance was like a perfect time and game development in terms of limitations. 584 00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:35,760 People always talk about how limitation drives creativity, or creativity thrives under limitation, 585 00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:38,079 and so I think it's an interesting idea to go back to Game Boy. 586 00:35:38,159 --> 00:35:40,079 Like, obviously, if they're releasing the game on the Game Boy Advance, 587 00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:43,800 it means it can run on that hardware natively, and so whatever this 588 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,320 modern version is, that's even on the Switch, it's gonna still be with 589 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,599 those design sensibilities. I love that pixelar of that generation. I like the 590 00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:52,400 color. This game looks really cool, and I think it's just such a 591 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:58,719 fun, interesting idea. So yeah, that's definitely on my radar. Baby 592 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,639 Steps this is the like It's Quop, but just with you know, four 593 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,639 K graphics pretty much. This is the silly game where you're just controlling the 594 00:36:07,679 --> 00:36:12,320 guy walking down a trail down this kind of countryside but you're just a janky, 595 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,440 weird baby guy and you're just walking is really bad. It's one of 596 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:21,079 those Bennett faddy yanky kind of games. Looks fun. I don't know what 597 00:36:21,079 --> 00:36:23,119 the price tag on it is that's gonna be I guess the deciding factor. 598 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,800 Next up is a game called Dead Static Drive, which I've had on my 599 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,079 radar for a long time, and I don't know. It's never really gotten 600 00:36:30,119 --> 00:36:32,639 a firm release date. It does have twenty twenty four like on its Steam 601 00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:36,480 page right now. I don't know if I believe that. I hope it's 602 00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:38,679 coming out soon. This is one where I don't even know the full scope 603 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,639 of it, but from the visuals of it, it's kind of like a 604 00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:45,440 top down issymmetric perspective, and it looks almost GTA like in terms of just 605 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,559 the craziness that's going on. You're just driving around. There's wild stuff happening. 606 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,480 There's like, you know, Cuthulhu and all these lovecrafting type creatures going 607 00:36:53,519 --> 00:36:57,280 on, and you're just driving around. You got fuel up your vehicle, 608 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,639 run away from monsters, go do stuff. I don't know what that stuff 609 00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:01,360 is. I don't know what you do exactly. I don't know if the 610 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,000 objective or main goal of this game is, but I just think the gameplay 611 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,199 looks really good. The game field looks amazing. So it's been on my 612 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,480 radar for a long time, and I hope it finally comes out this year 613 00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:13,400 because I want to. I want it in my hands. I want to 614 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,639 play it. Next up jack Box Naughty Pack that's supposed to be coming out 615 00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:21,639 this year. So jack Box, that team is uh, you know, 616 00:37:21,679 --> 00:37:24,639 they're releasing a naughty, an adult version of jack Box, which those games 617 00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:27,760 have always teetered on it. Of course, if you have a group of 618 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,760 friends who are into that and you're using swear words and naughty terms, you 619 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,920 could already kind of have that, but this one's actually gonna fully go into 620 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,719 it. This is gonna be an adult only game. I think it's like 621 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,840 a fun deviation for Jackbox, do something a little bit different. So that's 622 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,519 uh, that could be a good pick up. Hopefully it comes out before 623 00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:47,159 our Geek first twenty four hour stream so we can play that there. That 624 00:37:47,199 --> 00:37:52,679 would be fun sequence nice after nine uh timing for that one, of course. 625 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,199 And then we have Kingdom Come Deliverance too, a game that I did 626 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,840 not have my rate on my radar until Summer game Fest and seeing that showcase 627 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,280 for it, it just looked wild and weird and crazy, and you know, 628 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,119 I like, it's not fantasy, but I like medieval like that setting. 629 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,199 So yeah, it's on my radar. Metal Gear Solid Delta Snaky This 630 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,639 is the remake of Metal Gear Solid three. Truthfully, I will definitely not 631 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,880 pick this up this year because I have I got the Metal Gear Solid Volume 632 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,480 one collection, which has the original version, So I'm gonna play the original 633 00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:24,880 version because I already own that, and if I really love that, I'll 634 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,360 probably pick up Snake Ear or I should say, Delta pick up this remake 635 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,679 at some point in the future. But yeah, probably not this year. 636 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,320 The rumors were the leagues were that was coming out in November, but I 637 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,599 don't know how meaningful that is. We shall see. Metal Slug Tactics is 638 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:45,400 next up. I was surprised to see that Metal Slug got a surprise shadow 639 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,079 drop a different game on the Switch, and Tactics is not out yet but 640 00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:50,920 it is supposed come out this year. I love the pixelar of this game. 641 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,559 I think it looks like a simple, fun tactics game. This is 642 00:38:53,639 --> 00:38:57,360 right up my alley. I haven't played a tactic game in a bit either, 643 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,880 so I think I'll definitely be picking this one up. Looks really good 644 00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:05,159 replaced. This is that kind of two D side scrolling game that just has 645 00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:07,039 a really great aesthetic. Supposed we finally coming out this year game Pass. 646 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,280 I'll be playing that Rivals too. This is the sequel to Rivals of Eighth. 647 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,239 They drop the of ether and you're just calling it Rivals too. Now. 648 00:39:15,519 --> 00:39:19,159 It is a three D uh, this is or It is a platform 649 00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:22,079 fighter, so like a Smash Bros. Like a multi verses, and this 650 00:39:22,119 --> 00:39:24,119 one is going three D from the pixelart two D that they had before. 651 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,559 I mean it still did two D gameplay, but with three D visuals. 652 00:39:29,039 --> 00:39:31,440 If I'm gonna be specific about it, I really like Rivals. It's a 653 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,880 great platform fighter, really smart game, really good character designs. Had fun 654 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,960 at you know, shovel Knight and or we replayable characters in there. And 655 00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:40,760 yeah, the sequel is adding a lot of things that the original game didn't 656 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,360 have, like shielding and grabbing features that were just taking out for simplicity. 657 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,159 But I think coming back to the three D and what people expect from a 658 00:39:49,159 --> 00:39:52,639 smash type game makes sense to bring those things back. So I will probably 659 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,960 be picking this one up because that team, I think Dan Dan's I can't 660 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,800 remember the last name, Furnace Fornas. I think, yeah, makes great 661 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,639 games, cool games, So I'll definitely be picking that one up another fighting 662 00:40:05,639 --> 00:40:08,760 game, two D fighting game, Marvel Verus Capcom Fighting Collection. We talked 663 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,159 about this during the Nintendo Direct. Haven't played these games, but I think 664 00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:15,679 this collection looks really great. I will probably be picking this up. I 665 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,480 just I just want to play these games. They look fun. And then 666 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,159 the last one on my list here is Caravan sand Witch. Not Sandwich like 667 00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:25,960 the food, but like sand Witch, like sand is in grains, you 668 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,760 know, rough and course gets everywhere, and then Witch is in you know, 669 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,880 like a broomstick rider. I don't know why I describe which is like 670 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,440 that, but there you go. Caravan Sandwich. This is a very weird, 671 00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:39,559 interesting looking game. It looks kind of like a road trip type game, 672 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:45,199 which is a subgenre that I really like, Like Overland was like that, 673 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,880 or Open Roads earlier this year, or Road ninety six and the sequel 674 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,480 or kind of like that as well. I just I really like that kind 675 00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:57,440 of setup for a game, and this game has a really cute looking van 676 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,679 that you're traveling in. You're going around collecting. I don't know if there's 677 00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:02,320 combat. I don't know the full story of it, but from what I 678 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,320 have seen, it looks really cool and like just a fun, kind of 679 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,280 low key type of game. So that's on my list as well, and 680 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,039 boom, there you go. That is an exhaust exhaustive list. I can't 681 00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:15,840 even say the word correctly. That's about forty games that I just mentioned that 682 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,039 are coming out in the second half of this year that I have my radar 683 00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:22,320 on, and honestly, like half of those feel like day ones for me. 684 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,039 So that's gonna be I don't know if if all goes to plan, 685 00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:28,559 I might hit the fifty mark of fifty games played by the end of this 686 00:41:28,639 --> 00:41:31,880 year, which is you know, pretty insulid, pretty in line with the 687 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,800 last couple of years in terms of how many games I've been playing. Like 688 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,119 I said, my top five, four and most anticipated, I'm gonna go 689 00:41:39,199 --> 00:41:43,000 no particular order here, Actually, you know what, on the spot, 690 00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:45,519 let's do a particular order. I'm gonna number one, most anticipated, UFO 691 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:53,400 fifty number two avowed. Actually, I'm gonna bump about a three, and 692 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:58,239 I'm gonna put Plucky Squire, the Plucky Squire at number two, and then 693 00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:01,559 my four and five are Dead Start Driving Metal Slug Tactics. Those games look 694 00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:06,719 really cool, really great, and I don't know which one is which I 695 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,840 guess I'll go Dead Set of Drive at five for the kind of question mark 696 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:15,840 element of it, Metal Slug Tactics at four. So yeah, those are 697 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,920 my most anticipated games for the rest of the year. For a lot of 698 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,039 those, of course, you can expect reviews or coverage or you know in 699 00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:24,159 the games we've been playing section coverage on those kinds of things. And yeah, 700 00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:27,880 I'm probably some other ones as well. I'm sure there's a couple of 701 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,559 games coming out that the rest of the guys might play or pick up that 702 00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:34,199 I will not be. So yeah, stay tuned for the rest of the 703 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,039 year, and very excited to get into the second half. Really exciting list 704 00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:40,320 of games coming out. Thank you everyone for listening, and hope you liked 705 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,719 this solo episode.
