WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.039 Hello, and welcome to episode forty six of GameSpot After Dark Game Spots Official 2 00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.879 video game podcast. My name is Jake Decker, your host, and joining 3 00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:23.399 me this week is Lucy James, Hi, John, Luke Syke, Hello, 4 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.920 and Kellie Plaguey. How are you all doing? Hi? Do good? 5 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:37.039 Ish good. It's a busy week. Yeah, another busy week in 6 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:45.960 another busy week, decade of busy weeks. It truly does feel like E 7 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.880 three is just getting stretched out over weeks and weeks and weeks. And you 8 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.119 know, in my head at the time, I was like, this will 9 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:57.200 be better. It'll just be like everything will be spread out and like it 10 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.759 won't be as stressful or can dnse. But I don't know. Like this 11 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:08.200 last weekend, all those conferences, conferences that we were doing, it was 12 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.480 just it was a lot. There's like no release, right, even even 13 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.879 if like the individual days less busy, there's no like, oh well, 14 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.359 don't worry, like after you know, this week it'll all be over, 15 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.079 because instead you go you have like your weekend and then you're like, I 16 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.920 have another week of this. I have to do more. It's like the 17 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.040 biggest first world problem. Yeah. In the grind scheme of things. I 18 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:38.400 definitely miss E three too, but it's I don't know, unfortunate, but 19 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.560 like they we're all fortunate we're still working in games and doing something kind of 20 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.519 fun at the end of the day. Totally, yeah, totally, and 21 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.920 it has been fun. Like there's been a lot of cool projects that we've 22 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.319 been on, a lot of cool announcements. Some we can't talk about yet 23 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.560 but we will talk about soon, and some stuff that's already like out there, 24 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.519 Like there are a lot of great games during like the Gorilla Collective and 25 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.560 the PC Gaming Show and all that kind of stuff. Did you guys buy 26 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:07.040 that Itch EYEO bundle? Yes? I did. Kelly reminded me like an 27 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.479 hour before it expired, and I was like, thank god, will pay 28 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.520 any of those games? Who knows? Maybe? I mean I went to 29 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.159 the office yesterday, so they've changed they completely. We're not allowed in anymore. 30 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.639 So because I'm doing a lot of streaming. They suggested that I pick 31 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:29.960 up my PC from the office and we Greg very kindly drove Jen and I 32 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.479 and I got it. And I was like, well, I've just bought 33 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:39.080 over a thousand games. Where do I begin downloading more? And then instead 34 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.680 of doing that, I watched a video of a man repairing a painting, 35 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:50.159 so oh, I love those bo I'm gotten a restoration represent They're so good, 36 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:55.560 so good, the ones where he has to like stitch them back together 37 00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.319 by taking off little bits of linen and using it as Suitcha's Oh my god, 38 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:06.520 it's incredible art. Literally. But but as far as the game bundle 39 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.080 goes, I was really interested in a short hike, so I'm excited that 40 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.639 was in the bundle. I haven't played Overland. Night in the Woods was 41 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.759 in that bundle, which I would recommend. So there were a lot there's 42 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.639 a lot of good stuff. I like started to look through it and I 43 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.039 was like, if I keep looking through this, I'm going to be here 44 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.400 all night. But uh, and it raised you It raised eight point one 45 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.000 million dollars. Oh my god. Well they said that as well, because 46 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.080 I was looking through and they said, yeah, we know that these aren't 47 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.000 organized very well. We're fixing it. We're gonna put in some bad catalog, 48 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:44.599 which I appreciate. Yeah, and I like that the games don't show 49 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:49.520 up in your library until you've like engaged with them, so you don't have 50 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.800 this like seventeen hundred game Oh, that's good. But I guess we should 51 00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.800 say like that bundle was to benefit Justice basically, I think half the proceeds 52 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:08.120 go to bail funds and half was to the NAACP or something. I think 53 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.120 so, yeah, and yeah, eight point one million dollars is like it 54 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:19.199 was staggering. It was also the best gaming deal ever ever. Yeah, 55 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:23.680 like a Humble bundle always has like those great deals, but I don't think 56 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.240 there's ever been I've seen anything like this. But yeah, I'm looking forward 57 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.120 to going through those see what games to play? But speaking of games to 58 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.360 play, games have you all been playing? Or shows have you been watching? 59 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:39.000 Lucy? Do you want to start? So? I put in Avatar 60 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.360 the Last Airbender because it's not James Cameron's not James Cameron, and it's not 61 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.759 shipe mate. It's actually fantastic and I love it and I'm up to stop 62 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:53.759 season three. But I also forgot that over the weekend, I downloaded Horizon 63 00:04:53.879 --> 00:05:01.000 zero Dawn because I really liked the look of Forbidden West. I love so 64 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:08.439 much about that game. Playing it, Alloy talks to herself to an irritating 65 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:14.879 degree. I want to turn that off. She does. It's it's almost 66 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.639 as if they don't trust the player, like you gave her ping system with 67 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:24.439 the focus so everything in the environment is highlighted for you. She doesn't need 68 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.240 to go like even that opening bit where she's in that cave and she's going, 69 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.279 I need to get out of here to find rust, and I'm like, 70 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.519 bitch, I know it's the only thing I can do here. You 71 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.560 don't need to repeat this to me. And I'd forgotten that I had repressed 72 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:45.879 that anger at Aloy's over communication, because I think I had it with Life 73 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:47.560 is Strange as well. Max in Life is Strange did it a lot, 74 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.879 but not to the extent that Alloy does. Does it? And so is 75 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.519 Ala actually talking out loud or she's just talking in her head? It sounds 76 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:02.639 like it's out loud, Okay, they don't put any kind of like reverberating 77 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.920 reverberation on it to make it sound like it's in her head. But I 78 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.680 love the movement in that game. I love hunting, I love just running 79 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.240 around, and I think the world design is beautiful, the creature design incredible, 80 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.879 the bow play, the lack of a better term, great, just 81 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:30.319 need her to be quiet and it but it's I'm kind of basically looking for 82 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:38.079 a stop gap game before Last of Us, and so a game like I 83 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.319 also haven't played the DLC, so a game like Horizon I can just dip 84 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.120 in and out of. That's what I've been doing. Love the look of 85 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:54.759 the trailer of Forbin Worst. But sh Alloy and also Jordan was talking about 86 00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.199 this in slack earlier today, like the decision to not make Aloi actually native 87 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:06.000 is weird considering all the native imagery in the game. Yeah, and I 88 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.879 know there's like story, there's like story reasons for that, but it's like 89 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:17.160 they got all the way there except to just make her native, which I 90 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.079 think is a really good point, or just not use that native imagery. 91 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.800 Like right, we're like, you know, if you want to have her 92 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.680 bead the way she is for the specific story reason, Like I get that, 93 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.240 but then it's like why did you need to make like I don't know 94 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.120 it always like come, it's like that weird thing of like society collapsed and 95 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:39.720 they rebuilt and they happened to use the exact same imagery as these other cultures 96 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.360 that and it's like what, No, Like that doesn't make wouldn't they have 97 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.600 like their own original look? Like, you know, I don't know. 98 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.199 I always think that's weird that like they just happened to also look a lot 99 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:59.879 like other specific cultures from long ago. I genuine I didn't even consider that 100 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:01.439 until I saw Jordan to bring it up early, and I was like, 101 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.560 oh my god, that's so right. But yeah, that's what I've been 102 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:15.040 doing Horizon and Avatar. I want to go back to Horizon. I do 103 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:20.040 want to do the DLC. I really liked Horizons zeroed on. I didn't 104 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.600 finish the DLC, but I couldn't tell you what happened in the story of 105 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.800 that game. But all I remember is I thought the combat was so much 106 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.279 fun, just because you were like especially later in the game when you were 107 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.799 taking out these giant machines where you had to switch to the right arrow to 108 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.759 take off the right part and then you'd knock that part off and that would 109 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.159 change the battle, so you'd switch what you were using, or like you 110 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.440 could shoot off a gun on a on a I don't know, metal t 111 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.200 rex or whatever, and just that back and forth and the way that the 112 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.759 time slows when you switch between weapons. Like I thought it all felt super 113 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.120 good, Like I had so much fun just taking down monsters, which is 114 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.559 what I'm most excited for in the sequel. And I'm excited to see what 115 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.120 they do with San Francisco because I saw someone on Twitter like pull a lot 116 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:11.600 of screenshots of like the Ferry building destroyed and whatnot, and like put those 117 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.000 next to each other, and it looks super neat, Like I'm curious how 118 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.159 they are going to do that, especially when you consider I think they said 119 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.120 the map is supposed to be from like you tak to San Francisco or something, 120 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.720 so like I wonder what the scale is actually going to be in that. 121 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.000 Well, so I think the original games map was also like four different 122 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.720 states kind of compressed into one as well, So that doesn't necessarily mean it's 123 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.759 going to be like crazy huge, but yeah, say it was going to 124 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.279 be much bigger. Though. I want to see what Salesforce tower is, 125 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.159 Like, what's our office? Like? Actually office is going to be, 126 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:50.639 like it's basically going to be like what it'll be, It'll be it'll be 127 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.000 similar to what it'll be like when we actually are allowed to go back. 128 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.480 Yeah, just reclaimed it. If I get to pillage our office underwater, 129 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:07.919 that would be incredible. Just get a pile of Cali's plush. He's floating 130 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.200 worried about them. I'm so worried about my tiny figurines. What if they 131 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.000 fell off the desk and got vacuumed up? I won't know for months. 132 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:24.919 I'm so scared. I'm sure they're all fine. I have many You have 133 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.120 a lot, a respectable collection, jan Nuke, What have you been up 134 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.919 to? Uh? Well, the game I played I can't talk about this 135 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:45.559 week, unfortunately, but I it was like Cali, he's like thinking. 136 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.639 So instead I actually checked out a couple of demos that came out for some 137 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.840 games, Ultra Kill and System Shock. They were part of the Gorilla collective 138 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.720 over the weekend last weekend, and they both had interesting so it's like, 139 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.120 ah, they have free demo, so I'll check them out. I don't 140 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.759 know if you're familiar with so Ultra Kill, it's it's another one of those 141 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.519 in the vein of like it's trying to emulate like nineties shooters. You know, 142 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.120 your dooms and your quakes. There's been a lot of those recently. 143 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.759 But what makes this one really cool is that it has like a Devil May 144 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:26.799 Cry scoring system, and it's going for this like very ultra fast, you 145 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.480 know it. I'm trying to think of like another games like speed equivalent, 146 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.759 Like imagine like the speed that you could like get in like Quake Arena, 147 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.000 but then you are expected to do like Devil Make Cryer combos and you can 148 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.960 like infinitely slide like in Apex Legends, and you're it's all about just like 149 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.679 this small rooms where you get in and then these enemies come out and you're 150 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.000 just like doing these fast things like really quick. It's got a a like 151 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.440 a hotline Miami Vibe where if you die, it's just like oh nope, 152 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.879 you're just right back in it and you just kind of keep going. It's 153 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:05.559 really hard, but it's it's really really like frenetic and fun. The abilities 154 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.279 are like insane and that they're all about just trying to like combo like trying 155 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.559 to be coolest possible. So, for example, there's a hand cannon and 156 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.480 one of the alternate abilities is you flick a coin in the air and if 157 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.840 you shoot the coin, it'll ricochet and immediately hit and kill an enemy. 158 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.279 But you have to actually physically aim at the coin, and the coin has 159 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.200 its own physics, so it like moves, so it's really really hard to 160 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.960 actually like nail that shot, but if you do it, you feel like 161 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:39.799 the coolest person in the world. Console I cannot imagine. Yeah, so 162 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:46.840 I have to make the coin a lot bigger, so strict. It's it's 163 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.360 it's just really really fun. Like I don't know, I'm just I've tried 164 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.919 a lot of those those kind of games that are trying to like recapture the 165 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.480 spirit of like you know, all those ninety shooters, and there's been some 166 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.720 pretty good ones. It's kind of been some like or miss, but I 167 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.600 think I like this one because it's more that it's just using the aesthetic to 168 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.320 be as visually simple as possible so that you can just focus on like how 169 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:16.039 insane the action is. And then the demo takes a really weird turn at 170 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.039 the end because the whole thing is you're you're going through hell. I think 171 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.039 it says something like hell is full and you have to kill one and know 172 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:31.120 all the demons are here exactly but you so the beginning, it's like there's 173 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.720 like a prologue chapter that you do, which is like the first couple levels, 174 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.320 and then you you do like the first level of Limbo, and it 175 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.759 like takes this complete turn where it's like, you know, very sunny and 176 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.919 uh has like a very different vibe. And then there's suddenly no combat and 177 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.240 you do a bunch of Witness style puzzles, like it straight up has like 178 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.399 the panels and you're doing like the slidey block puzzles. And I just did 179 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.240 that for like ten minutes, and it's like this escalating like like actually like 180 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.440 really good to Witness style puzzles, and I was like, what is going 181 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.720 on in this game? Like I thought you were just like killing things, 182 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:07.679 and then right after that it just goes right back to that and then the 183 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.759 demo ns and I was like, okay, all right, well interesting. 184 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.279 How long did it take you to finish the demo? Ah, probably like 185 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.759 twenty maybe thirty minutes. Okay, well that's a lot in twenty minutes. 186 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.960 Yeah yeah, yeah maybe like me, yeah maybe maybe just like twenty but 187 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.320 it was, it was It's a substantial demo when it went on longer than 188 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.360 I thought, and it really gives you a good a good sense of the 189 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.440 game. And now I'm just like, I'm so curious if that game is 190 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.879 gonna like have even weirder, weirder shit in it because I was not expecting 191 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:43.759 there to be like puzzle elements to it. Yeah, So when we were 192 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:50.159 taking notes and that game trailer came up, it didn't say the name of 193 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.399 the game at a certain point, but it had the website, and the 194 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.879 website was Devil May Quake. So we thought though, those of us on 195 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.360 editorial who were taking notes thought for a minute that it was called Deuvile May 196 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.600 Quake, and we were like, like, I was sitting there, like 197 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.519 can they do that? So low obviously it's not called that. Yeah, 198 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:09.840 I mean I wish they did call it that, because that's an amazing name. 199 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:16.399 But I think I think, yeah, they realized they couldn't go ahead. 200 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.360 Can I just do a quick tangent about one of my favorite Tumblr posts 201 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:28.320 of all time, which is uh, which is Devil May Happy? And 202 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.879 somebody was like, wouldn't it be devil May Smile? And there the opie 203 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:43.840 says, critique my post again and Devil make Angry. I that's good. 204 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.519 I was gonna say it was was Devil May Quake from like that section where 205 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.799 that guy came on who was like we hate money. Here are games and 206 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:58.679 like here, no, I don't remember I know it was in the trailer 207 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.720 because it's the website. It's the website you go to, which is just 208 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.279 a link to their Steam page. It just goes right to the Steam page 209 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.919 for it. Because he had a bunch of stuff like go to not fortnite 210 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.080 dot com for this thing and stuff, and it just felt super weird and 211 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.399 out of place. They just bought a bunch of really weird URLs, yeah, 212 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.679 and like directed people to those, and then it ended with him being 213 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.559 like, we hate money, and then it just went back and no, 214 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.159 it was it was before the eleven Bit Studio section. Okay, it was 215 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:30.759 the eleven Bit Studio that section. All right, Well, anyway, you've 216 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:36.200 also been playing a system Shock. Yeah, big fan of the original and 217 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.679 you've been. I mean, I think one of your first videos you made 218 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.360 for GameSpot was about this system Shock remake. It was, yeah, so 219 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:47.960 like this the Nighttime Studios. They're doing a re remake of the original system 220 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.960 Shock And yeah, they made a Kickstarter back in twenty twenty sixteen, and 221 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.600 it came with its own demo that was like a pre demo. It's like 222 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.200 a fifteen minute opening a slice of the game, and it was as Jake 223 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:00.960 said it was one of the first videos I ever did was comparing it. 224 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:08.480 So it's real wild going back and playing this new demo where it's now like 225 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.680 the entire first area of the game, it's the entire medical wing. So 226 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.160 it's actually a really long demo. It could take you anywhere from like thirty 227 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.519 minutes to an hour to play, so you're getting a really good, substantial 228 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.839 look at the game. And I don't know, it's so good. It's 229 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:30.960 like it's system shock. It's an immersive sim It's like exactly what I love. 230 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.519 And like, I think they've just done such like a fantastic job with 231 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:38.920 it. Like it looks really good, it feels great. They I love 232 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:45.519 the art style. It uses this uh like it you know it, what's 233 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.559 the word I'm looking for. Like the textures kind of have like a pixelated 234 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.200 look, so it kind of gets like a PlayStation one vibe, but it 235 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.799 feels very modern. It feels like a good compromise to like this is clearly 236 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.799 like you know, could only be made today, but also like play pays 237 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:06.359 on to the aesthetic of that original game. I not one hundred percent, 238 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.160 but I think they still used all the original voice actors or at least they 239 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:15.160 sound very similar, like Showdan sounds the exact same. It's it's just a 240 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.359 I don't know, like I don't know if I have anything like to say. 241 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.119 That isn't like been said a billion times about system Shock, but I 242 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.640 think I'm just like really excited because the original system Shock didn't kind of gets 243 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.359 left behind when people talk about all the Shock games, like everyone talks about 244 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.640 like you know, obviously BioShock in those games, but like system Shock two's 245 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.240 the big system Shock game everyone talks about. But it's like system Shock one, 246 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.640 it's not great to play now because the control scheme was terrible. I 247 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.000 don't know if you've ever you guys have ever seen that game, but like 248 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:51.519 you open it up and it's like it's got like a fifty billion different like 249 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.680 uy menus and you can't even use the mouse to move Originally, like it 250 00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:02.000 was an absolute mess of a game to play, But the actual game is 251 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.079 really really good, like it still holds up, like it still has all 252 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:07.680 of those like things that you love about BioShock, like you know, the 253 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.559 writing on the wall, the you know, your audio logues of people dying 254 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:19.039 horribly, like finding different stuff. It even has like you know those Metroidvania 255 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.519 like elements where you pick up an item and then you can go back to 256 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.960 a different area, And that game actually came out before Super Metroid, so 257 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:32.960 it's like kind of it did Metrodvenia before Metrodvenia existed, which is like really 258 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:44.039 crazy renamed the genre for us, exactly a system Vania roid that I would 259 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:51.200 have done. I'm looking forward to playing it because, like you're saying, 260 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:56.279 as someone who has heard about mostly system Shock two and you know, loves 261 00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:02.039 the original BioShock, it's not gonna play BioShock too, And even like you 262 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.680 haven't played BioShock two, I haven't played BioShock. I got Switch though, 263 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:15.079 just so I I've Yeah, I've played BioShock one multiple times, and I've 264 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.559 played BioShock infuit in multiple times, and I've tried to a couple of times, 265 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.119 but I never actually finished it. But I do own it on uh 266 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:27.960 PS four PC Switch. There's probably more, probably three sixty two at some 267 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.279 point, so I really have no excuse to have not played it, but 268 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:36.839 I really do want to, at least too nervous den it's still completely unspoiled 269 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:44.720 on BioShock. I'm amazed small BioShock two Tangent. I actually did play that 270 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.799 last weekend. I started it up because I was like, for whatever reason, 271 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.000 I was feeling an itch and I was like, I want to play 272 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:55.839 BioShock two, like I love that game. I got, and I got 273 00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:00.720 all the way up to the end of uh, not the first level, 274 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.240 like the level after where you're going through like the Andrew Ryan's like museum. 275 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.519 I don't know if you remember that. It's and I played it a couple 276 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:14.240 of months ago. So the game crashed and that game does not have auto 277 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:19.440 sabs, and I lost an hour of progress and I just went all right, 278 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.039 well, I get I'm done playing by a Shock too. Did you 279 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.960 play the collection? Yes, I was playing on PC, but that's the 280 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:33.240 it was the remastered version. The collection is not great. No, it's 281 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.079 it's it's it's no. Is it like the PS four version. Oh, 282 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.680 I've heard it's not good. I had not good. So I remember years 283 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:47.079 ago when it first came out, it wouldn't let me download BioShock Infinite because 284 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.799 Infinite was a separate download. It would let me do Bioshocks one and two, 285 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.839 but I couldn't get Infinite, And then that fixed itself or I assume 286 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:59.440 it was patched. And then a few months ago, I was playing Bishock 287 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.319 two because I was on Jared Petty's podcast talking about Bishirk two, and I 288 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.480 had the exact same thing happened to me with MI nervous Den, except I 289 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:15.160 lost three oh no, and I was like, well, let's speed run 290 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.519 this section. I just not. I just knocked it down to easy and 291 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.480 just like blasted through it. But yeah, it's even worse on BioShock though, 292 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.920 because like I was meticulously picking up every little audio log and I was 293 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.079 reading it and I was finding all this AMMO, and I felt so good. 294 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:37.200 M M. Question for you guys once the longest amount of progress you've 295 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.440 lost to something like that, Mine's eight hours, Oh my god, with 296 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.799 what it was just a game of SIP five that I was playing, and 297 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.640 I didn't say for eight hours on my computer craft. It was like what 298 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:55.640 that phase where I was just I was just stay in my room, plainsive, 299 00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.279 plasive, And yeah, I definitely lost at least four hours playing the 300 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:07.680 original Mass Effect because had had no I think it was like the mission where 301 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.440 you find the rack Ni Queen or something like I remember, like dying or 302 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.559 something happened, and then like I loaded it back up and it was like 303 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.519 the very beginning of that planet, and I was like, yeah, I 304 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.359 had. I had a similar thing with Mass Effect. I think I played 305 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.279 like five hours. I was exploring everything, talking to everyone. I was 306 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.920 so excited because it was Mass Effect had just come out. I've been waiting 307 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.680 for that game forever. And I was like, you know, I'm going 308 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.640 to just go to a planet. And I went to a planet and a 309 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.680 thresher Maw showed up and killed White Block Party, and I was like, 310 00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.039 all right, I'll just reload. Yeah, and then it just like there's 311 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.400 nothing to load, and I was like, are you start a new game? 312 00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.799 Luckily, you know, I was in like junior high or high school 313 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.480 or whatever, and I had nothing but time, so I started up and 314 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.920 did it again anyway. But still I remember being like, are you serious? 315 00:23:52.440 --> 00:24:00.160 Mass Effects? God? I remember the auto saves really bad before boss 316 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:07.680 fights. I remember when you rescue Liara and there are the there's the Krogan 317 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:12.279 like guy, and if you fail that boss fight, you well say boss 318 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.680 fight. If you fail that fight, you have to do the conversation over 319 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.519 and over and over again. And unfortunately, I got really stuck on that 320 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.680 fight, and so I had to do that over and over and over again, 321 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.119 and it's it was two thousand and seven. Man, we should have 322 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:30.160 been. But the most I lost was actually that BioShock, and ever's done 323 00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:37.519 because I was conditioned from a younger age because I had a really shitty PC 324 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:44.160 and I would play the SIMS a lot and if I didn't meticulously save every 325 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.119 ten or so minutes, it would probably crash. Sometimes it would crash while 326 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:53.119 saving. Jeez. So I'm one of those people who saves and then I'll 327 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.880 just save again just to be I used to be like that, but I 328 00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.480 think I've I just haven't played a game where I've needed to do that in 329 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.599 a while, so gone Soft. And then after that, I immediately was 330 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:07.359 like, Okay, where's the quick save key for Bowershack. The best game 331 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:12.359 on console, at least for saving was Dishonored Too is Dishonored To. It 332 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:18.680 had quick save and load in the pause menu on the triggers perfect because I 333 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.839 was saved scumming my way through that game. Chaos Theory had that too. 334 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:27.640 I remember that being a game changer for the splinter Cell series because like before, 335 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:32.559 there were just checkpoints, and you know, if you're playing that very 336 00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:36.519 slowly and meticulously and you die, it's like now I got to go back 337 00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.799 like four or five encounters. But with Chaos three they added that quick saving. 338 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.640 I think that's the three They added one like on console where if you 339 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:48.599 like held the back button, because I think because they knew because that was 340 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.000 like such an issue with that series, they were like, we'll add the 341 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:57.160 thing for console people. I've always been sorry. I was just gonna say 342 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:03.519 I. I had like eighty hours in Pokemon fire Red and I dropped my 343 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.920 game Boy Advance sp and it landed on the cart and it shut everything down. 344 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.000 And I was like, I hope this saved turned it on. You 345 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.359 know, you get the whole new game thing show up. And I was 346 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.880 like, I was so mad, but you lost it all. Yeah, 347 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.720 it was all gone. Why was that's the worst, Well, because I 348 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.519 didn't think about it until now I was much younger and also liked I didn't 349 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.680 think about like me losing savens. I don't know. Yeah, it was 350 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.880 user error, right, like nothing shut down. I just was a dumb 351 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.480 kid and dropped it on the ground. Cheez, I stress. I was 352 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.759 just gonna say, I've always been really neurotic about saving, and I'm the 353 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.759 kind of person that I'm like, I saved my game, and then I'm 354 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.920 like, did I save? And then I save again. The Zive example 355 00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:56.160 had auto save, but for some reason didn't. It didn't auto save what 356 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:02.279 I needed. Maybe that was part of the crash. Maybe, but also 357 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:11.559 I had Mount Fuji as Japan working in Premiere Pro. I don't do so 358 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:17.160 much editing anymore, but when I first got Premiere, the auto save is 359 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:22.039 like automatically set at fifteen minutes. I think it was. I think now 360 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:25.000 it doesn't. If you switch it to like thirty second, however low it'll 361 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.200 go change. I change it to five minutes every time I start fresh, 362 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:30.640 because five minutes is like I can do that. You want to talk about 363 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:37.079 real devastating save loss wo Premiere projects? Yeah, work, yeah, work, 364 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.079 Yeah. The whole days day has happened to me, and it's just 365 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.720 you just you just go home, You just go home. Yeah. It'll 366 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.240 be like four point thirty on a Friday, and I'll be almost done with 367 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:51.640 the review and then it'll crash and for some reason I won't have any backup 368 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.599 saves and it'll be like, well, I'm just gonna throw a bunch of 369 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:59.319 random clips into this review. I'm sorry, Oh thanks, Well, that 370 00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.079 hasn't happened. That hasn't happened a very long time, And honestly, I 371 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:06.839 was pretty new at GameSpot, so I probably just stayed till like midnight making 372 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.599 sure it was okay, which I don't recommend. Don't stay work till midnight 373 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:15.400 unless you have to. Anyway, moving on, I guess I'll talk about 374 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.519 one thing I've been playing, and then we can talk a little about Pokemon 375 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:23.960 Keli, and then we're not gonna talk too much about Last of Us because 376 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:26.920 we talked about it a lot last week, Jean, Luke and Lucy haven't 377 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.960 played it. And we're also gonna have a spoiler chat go up this weekend 378 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:36.000 and you can read both my spoiler free review and my review with some spoilers 379 00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.960 correct, so have fun with that. So there's a ton of places that 380 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.680 we're gonna be talking about Last of Us or that we've already talked about Last 381 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.680 of Us, so you can check that out now. But anyway, the 382 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:49.119 other game I've been playing other than Pokemon right now is Persona four Golden on 383 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:53.160 PC. I don't have a whole lot to say, it's still very good. 384 00:28:55.440 --> 00:29:03.000 I just finished Yukiko's Palace, so I'm still pretty early. But I'm 385 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.519 having a lot of fun with the difficulty settings because I've played like seventy percent 386 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.799 of that game on Vita and I never finished it, so I like made 387 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.039 it as easy as possible so I could burn through all the palaces as fast 388 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.119 as I could. And I did Yukiko's Palace in one day, which nice 389 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.960 isn't super impressive since it's the first palace, but I'll take what I can 390 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:30.440 get. I'm like hovering on the edge of playing it through again, but 391 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.400 it took me two years because I had a Gnali commute and I had my 392 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.599 Vita and that's how I played Persona four. But also I wonder if Persona 393 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:42.920 five and all the quality of life improvements in five maybe have ruined me from 394 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:48.119 going back. I don't think so, at least don't think so for me 395 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.480 I because I played it. I played it last year for the first time 396 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:53.920 with my girlfriend, which is kind of a bummer because I'm like, oh, 397 00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:59.279 man could have played this version, but that's okay. But I I 398 00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:02.599 think for one I think those games are just mechanically different enough that like it's 399 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.279 more that like I don't know, like the quality life changes don't feel as 400 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.160 it doesn't feel as dramatic. I would say, from like say like three 401 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:14.440 to four, which felt like pretty dramatic. Also, I think that the 402 00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.400 game's characters and story are just like pulled up on their own so much like 403 00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:23.200 Yeah, I don't know, Like I think each Persona game has its own 404 00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:30.440 strengths that make them worth going back to. Except the No, you can't 405 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:36.480 control your party members directly in three, and that is terrible. It can't. 406 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.640 No, not the original version of three, the PSP version you can, 407 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.480 but it also loves at Oh I'll get into it, but all I'm 408 00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:48.279 saying is there's no definitive version of Persona three, and they need to make 409 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:51.680 it, and that is why Atlas should remake Persona three. If you're listening, 410 00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:56.880 Atlas, give me Persona three remastered, Well we'll forward this podcast to 411 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.519 them, please. Is it just Atlas at gmail dot com? Right? 412 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:06.599 That's yeah, yeah, I think so cool. Yeah, it's not JP. 413 00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.480 Sorry to whoever has that email address at liss a Gmail, don't go. 414 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.680 But anyway, Yeah, like I said, I don't have a whole 415 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.720 lot to say about Person Before a Golden other than that I am excited to 416 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.880 be playing it again, and I'm happy it's on PC. I hope this 417 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.920 means that we'll see some at list games on PC, maybe even switched. 418 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.400 Like the crazy thing about playing it on PC is that as I was playing 419 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.759 it on PC, this is really dumb. But as I was playing on 420 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.240 PC, I was like, man, I wish this was on switch. 421 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:48.599 I'd rather play sportively. There's something real weird about having like a graphic settings 422 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.519 and a Persona game and like mouse and keyboard controls. Yeah, you're just 423 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.960 like, this is weird. I did not do mass and keyboard. Immediately 424 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:57.680 I played in the control, I was like, now I'm not going to 425 00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:00.279 do this. But even on an Xbox controller it feels kind of weird. 426 00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:05.119 A nice little tiny touch this is like so small, but I like when 427 00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:08.240 games do this. It actually changes the button icons depending which controller you play. 428 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:13.119 I like that small little thing, but I like when games do that. 429 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.039 So the big thing which came out today, well it came out Wednesday. 430 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:21.240 If you listen to this now it's Friday. But Cally and I have 431 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.359 been playing some of the Isle of Armor DLC. I played about an hour 432 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:29.200 today. I'm not so much. You got to play cally not much, 433 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:34.720 but I did a like a preview session last week where I saw the first 434 00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:39.400 forty ish minutes. So we've probably played slash scene the same amount as the 435 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:45.720 game. I'd say, so, I yeah, I don't. Right now, 436 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.680 I'm very excited and enjoying it just because there are so many more Pokemon 437 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.680 to catch, and like, at the end of the day, that's what 438 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.160 I wanted to do the most, was just catch more Pokemon and have more 439 00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.440 Pokemon to build teams with. I can't really speak on this stuse, Like 440 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.160 I said, have only played an hour, but it seems very pokemony, 441 00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:06.400 Like I don't. It's not that deep, but it doesn't really need to 442 00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:10.559 be. Yeah, I mean it's it's cute. You kind of get roped 443 00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:15.680 in in a very anime protagonist style into joining this dojo, and it's run 444 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:23.599 by a couple named Honey and Mustard and Mustard is he kind of is like 445 00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:30.079 the King Boomy of Pokemon. I understood that reference, Yeah, I did 446 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:36.880 from Avatar. He's he's like quirky and wacky, but he has a point 447 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.200 to what he's doing, so he has everybody at the dojo kind of doing 448 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.200 these like they seem like otherwise menial tasks, but it's one of those like, 449 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.000 oh, I'm a dojo master and I know what you need to get 450 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:52.480 better or whatever kind of vibe, and so you have to like catch these 451 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:57.200 Like slow Poke he's trained to be especially fast, which is really silly and 452 00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:02.799 also like I think, really clever because you can train Pokemon to be faster 453 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.960 or have better attack or better defense, like you can customize the Pokemon that 454 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.440 way within the game, So it's kind of cool that it's like these are 455 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:15.320 the fastest slow Poke you'll ever see. And they even have salac berry, 456 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:20.599 which when it's one of those it's called a pinch berry. It's activated when 457 00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:24.599 the pokemon's low on health, and the salac berry increases speed when the Pokemon 458 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:29.000 eats it, so they're like just fully speeds back to slow poke, which 459 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.199 you would never do ever. That doesn't make make sense, but like it's 460 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:36.920 cute and it kind of just drives home like this is you can you can 461 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.000 make a Pokemon like the fastest it could be, So I thought that was 462 00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:44.400 clever. You if to go hunting for mushrooms and stuff for him, he 463 00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:50.800 gives you He and Honey give you either a Squirtle or a Buldaslor that can 464 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:55.480 eventually Giganto maximhen you fully evolve them. So that's kind of like the the 465 00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:00.679 basic like that's the starting point of it, and the level the leveling also 466 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.519 scales to where you're at when you start the DLC, so you can start 467 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.679 it basically. You only have to play the main game for about an hour. 468 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.639 Once you hit the wild area in the main game, you can then 469 00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.800 travel to the Isle of Armor, and the Pokemon's levels will be appropriate to 470 00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:21.239 your level the same way they are in the Wild area. So that's pretty 471 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.159 cool. And the Pokemon two aren't locked behind the DLC. Anybody can get 472 00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.159 those Pokemon in their poked X. Now there was an update released alongside the 473 00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:36.079 DLC, so yeah, it's it's exciting. I Pokemon doesn't really good DLC, 474 00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:39.159 so that's just exciting. It's kind of unchard territory. Yeah, I 475 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:44.719 mean, I've been having fun with it. I really like the Wild area, 476 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.280 this new Wild area, because it seems like they've learned a lot from 477 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:51.079 the original Wild Area and this one's already so much more interesting, Like there 478 00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:59.239 are caves there forests like coastlines. The diversity is there's way more diversity and 479 00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:05.199 it's a lot more interesting to explore so far in my opinion. In like, 480 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.960 I don't know, it's just exciting to walk around and see old Pokemon 481 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:12.880 again that weren't in the game. Like I caught a rock Rough, which 482 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:19.400 I've already evolved into a liking rock. I caught a I caught an Abra, 483 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.519 which is one of my favorite pokemon Originally. I'm still trying to find 484 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:28.719 Shinks because I know there, but I haven't found Shinks yet. But yeah, 485 00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.599 as of now, I mean, it's just more Pokemon, and so 486 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.920 far, that seems like a pretty good thing. I will say, the 487 00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.119 slow pokes in the wild area when you have to get them, they're like 488 00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.039 going so fast, there's a dust trail behind them, and like the sound 489 00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.960 they make is really funny, Like you almost have to like you can't chase 490 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:47.599 them, you just have to figure out their path and cut them off. 491 00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:52.599 Yeah, it's really silly. I was gonna say. The other thing that's 492 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:58.880 really cool about it is the music. It's like, oh yeah, you 493 00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:02.800 told me this before. So the music really caught my attention because it is 494 00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:13.360 a remix of the the that the stereo I don't know how stereophonics. That's 495 00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:19.800 a joke for British people listening. It's it's the like everybody was Kung Fu 496 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:30.719 fighting tune bye like that tune who sings on? But and so at first 497 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.599 I was kind of like, oh, interesting choice. But the Japanese people 498 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:39.960 made this game and wrote the music so interesting. But the remix is like 499 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:45.159 such a banger. It's like I was just like, let's go, I'm 500 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:52.079 ready to fight. Like so it's kind of silly, but it's I enjoyed 501 00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:55.079 it a lot. Another cool thing too. I don't know if you saw 502 00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:58.599 that far, but maybe they had already said it, but you can turn 503 00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:04.280 any Pokemon into Gigan to Max. Now, yeah, there's like a it's 504 00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.239 super cool. There's a this is just this is the thing with Swart and 505 00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.480 Shield is they give you so much to turn any old Pokemon into a Pokemon 506 00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:13.559 you want to use. Like if you have a shiny charze ard, now 507 00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.599 you can make that a shiny gigantic Max Charte aard. Like that's so freaking 508 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:22.960 cool. It's it's Max soup is the like the food item that you that 509 00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:27.199 does it. And that's one of the things when you're looking for the mushrooms 510 00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:34.360 for mustard for I don't know, sense mustard, I don't know. He 511 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:39.679 is like, oh, I need them to make Max soup. So that's 512 00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:44.239 part of it. You get you get new clothing options, new hairstyles. 513 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:52.719 Oh now we're talking like like a cute ass bun. Like there's there's like 514 00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:55.239 this like swoopy fade thing going on, Like there's there's a lot of cool 515 00:38:55.239 --> 00:39:00.800 stuff that's all I care about. And this is I mean, I'm finishing 516 00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:06.679 up the Last of Us review, the spoiler version of that, so I 517 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.320 haven't had time yet today to actually play. So there's a lot that I'm 518 00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:12.760 still going to delve into. And I am doing a review of aild of 519 00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:16.719 Armor. I'm gonna do that as quickly as is physically possible for me to 520 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:25.079 do or mentally possible probably is more accurate, but yeah, I'm it's it's 521 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:29.639 I mean, I'm still play I play Animal Crossing every day. I'm fully 522 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.960 upseessed with Animal Crossing, so it's a little bit like I will never put 523 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.360 down my switch ever again because now I'm playing Pokemon also, but it's it's 524 00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:43.119 kind of nice. I kind of needed this after the last of us, 525 00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:45.599 so I was gonna say, in terms of tonal whiplash, I don't think 526 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:52.280 you could get anything more opposite. H Yeah, And it's funny because the 527 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:57.320 comments I always get comments that are like, just go back to pulling Pokemon. 528 00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.880 You don't like violence, you stupid girl, And I'm like, well, 529 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:07.400 I mean, Pokemon is about making animals fight each other, but but 530 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.960 you know, it's colorful and friendly about it. That's nice, which, 531 00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:15.480 if you think about it, is actually even more disturbing. Yeah. I'm 532 00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:21.719 gonna go call Pete it right now. Well, anyway, let's move on 533 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:24.920 to topics for this week. The big thing that happened last week that we 534 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:30.039 tried to guess was the PS five reveal event. I don't remember what I 535 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.840 guessed last week, other than that we'd see Horizon Too, which I was 536 00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:38.840 right. That's what I've been very very surprised if Horizon Too hadn't. Yeah, 537 00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:43.760 yeah, I've been there. I didn't guess anything, so I can't 538 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.239 be wrong. I don't remember what anyone else guessed, and they're not here 539 00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:50.639 to tell me what they guess, so I guess, so we were all 540 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:54.760 correct. But anyway, speaking of the PS five reveal event, why don't 541 00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.320 we just say what our favorite announcement was and we can kind of kick off 542 00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:04.239 a conversation from there because there was a lot of cool stuff. I would 543 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:09.519 say, John, do you want to start? I love the dumb look 544 00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:15.400 of the PS five. I think it looks so stupid, and I am 545 00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:21.199 so excited to have it on my shelf. I was on the pre and 546 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:25.159 post show and afterwards I was clearly in a state of hype and I was 547 00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:30.280 talking about like, damn she thick. My boyfriend texted me after and it 548 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.679 was like, do you want to have sex with that PlayStation five? Like 549 00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:38.000 you are describing it in a weir annoying and I was like, I don't 550 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:43.639 know. I was just excited. She got curves, Man, what do 551 00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:47.639 you want for me? But I like how the the one with the disk 552 00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:53.199 drive is a lopsided too. Well, it's that's just how it's weird. 553 00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:57.119 Like the one on the disc side is lopsided when it's standing up, but 554 00:41:57.119 --> 00:41:59.320 when you put it down it kind of works. When you put the one 555 00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:04.159 without the disc drive down. It then has this my mic has this gap 556 00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:08.679 at the bottom that looks really weird. So it's like it doesn't work perfectly 557 00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:13.760 either way. Like it's such a mess. I'm I love it. I 558 00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:15.840 love it with all my heart, Like I am, I'm such a fan 559 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:21.199 of like weird ass consoles. It looks huge. I don't know where I'm 560 00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:24.480 gonna put it. I'm just excited for it. Someone's made an ar thing 561 00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:29.280 you can do and you can see because the people have figured out, based 562 00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:31.920 on disk drive size, how big the console would be. And they've made 563 00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:37.400 an ar that you can place the PS five in your house. And I'm 564 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:42.639 like, I'm just lucky that I have an open top entertainment unit because if 565 00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:45.639 I was trying to fit it into some kind of pre made shelving unit, 566 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:49.280 don't it will not It will not fit my shelf. So I do need 567 00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:54.480 to figure something out. I asymmetry bothers me a lot, and I don't 568 00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:58.000 know if I'll be able to handle the PS five in its current form. 569 00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:01.239 I don't. I can't. I can't. I can't get the no disk 570 00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:06.440 drive one that's more symmetrical. That is symmetrical, right, symmetrical, I 571 00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:10.599 mean but then it's like, then you won't have a dis drive, which 572 00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:15.480 you might genuinely need for your job. Yeah, if it sends you discode 573 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:19.480 exactly. So yeah, I don't know. I wasn't crazy about it. 574 00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:23.119 I also I wasn't able to watch the presentation because I was working on the 575 00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:30.400 spoiler free Last of Us review, So I've really only I've seen bug Snacks 576 00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:35.239 and I've seen Horizon and then everyone of the stys with bug Snacks the song 577 00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:39.400 man in our house, like you'll just hear it through the wall sometimes Jennal 578 00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:45.800 Greg going bug Snacks. I was hoping that they would hear me and do 579 00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.480 it. Yeah, they are in the kitchen. It just happens like all 580 00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:53.760 the time. There's been a lot of good memes of people putting the bugs 581 00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:59.639 Next song over movie trailers. Someone put it over the Joko on, which 582 00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:05.719 I did. The was pretty funny, but I liked if someone was a 583 00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:08.119 game rant yesterday wrote an article where it was like, what if bug Snacks 584 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:15.280 is secretly like a horror game where you eat sentient I was expecting the trailer 585 00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.480 to take a dark turn because it was like so happy and it's like, 586 00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:21.679 yeah, and there's these bugs and that bugg looks like a taco, and 587 00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:24.760 I'm like, it's gonna get weird, like I mean, like weirder, 588 00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:29.440 and so I don't know, I entertain that theory. Are you, like, 589 00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:34.840 are you picturing like Seth Broken Sausage Party? Yeah, well try and 590 00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:38.840 clear that movie horribly offensive and bad, but like you know, like it 591 00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:44.760 takes like a weird horror turn, like yeah, like when they like, 592 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:46.280 you know, the game's about to come out and then the ESRB is like, 593 00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:52.559 yeah, this game is rated M and everyone's like, what what mature 594 00:44:52.639 --> 00:45:00.599 themes? Callie, you said you didn't see the presentation as a whole, 595 00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.840 but was there anything that any trailers or something that may have stood out or 596 00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:14.079 news? I just really don't like the PS five all right? How about 597 00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:17.159 you? Lucy? Well, I know it was already announced, but death 598 00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:22.280 Loop seeing more of that, I think anything arcane touches, I will be 599 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:30.000 all over. I genuinely was. It was fun being because we were kind 600 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:32.000 of on I was on a stream with Michael and Tam and you know, 601 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:37.280 the reactions to Miles Morales, even though the messaging after that was a bit 602 00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:43.960 all over the place, and Tam can I can easily say that that Demon 603 00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:49.199 Soul's reveal was the highlight of history. Oh well, I think it was 604 00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:53.440 a really good mix of Triple A. There was there was some usual suspects 605 00:45:53.480 --> 00:45:59.559 that I felt were missing, Like I fully expected cod especially because they just 606 00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:04.000 updated season four of war Zone that day and people were saying, oh, 607 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:07.960 there's clues being left, and I fully expected Cord. But it was fun. 608 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:13.280 Like, what was that game that looked like Pixar? Kenna, Yeah, 609 00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:15.039 Kenna, Yeah, that looks cute. That looks pretty. It looks 610 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:20.960 like a mix of Breath of the Wild Pixar and I don't know, like 611 00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:23.800 magic stuff in there too, maybe a bit of Horizon zero Down, not 612 00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:27.880 to be reductive, and just I haven't really seen much else of the game, 613 00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:32.280 but it was cool. Like, I think that's Sony's best conference since 614 00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:37.280 E three twenty fifteen, easily, which was the final fivety seven last Guardian 615 00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:44.079 year. Oh and Rezi eight. Oh yes, oh yeah that's maybe the 616 00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:46.280 game. Yeah, I'm the most excited for out of out of that whole 617 00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:52.559 thing. That game looked incredible. Yeah, I mean, Resney Velate was 618 00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:57.320 definitely mine, but I would probably say Demon Souls as well. If not 619 00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.480 more, just because part of it is because I've been replaying Saying the Souls 620 00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:05.920 games, the Souls Boring games recently, and I've never played Demon Souls. 621 00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.480 I had no plan to play Demon Souls because I wasn't going to track down 622 00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:14.280 a PS three and yeah, I just figured I'd never play that game unless 623 00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:15.840 there was a remake. So I'm very excited that there's a remake and it 624 00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:20.400 looks great based on the trailer. I'm super excited to see more. I'm 625 00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:25.440 especially curious to see another studio tackle a from software game because I feel like 626 00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:30.159 a from Software games have such a distinct feel to them and like the way 627 00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:35.559 they play, so I'm curious to see if, like I don't know, 628 00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:39.480 I guess, like how much Bluepoint can match that or maybe try something kind 629 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.920 of different. But also it can't be too different, because then it wouldn't 630 00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:47.360 I don't know, that would be a terrifying game to remake if you're not 631 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.960 from Software. But regardless, I'm still excited. I thought it looked it 632 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:57.079 looked beautiful, and it was definitely like even though I think we all knew 633 00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:00.880 it was gonna happen, it was still exciting to see that I'm so curious 634 00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:04.559 if they're going to add or change anything, because I think they've said that 635 00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:08.039 it's a more dramatic it's not going to be quite like Shadow, where it 636 00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:10.639 was like very faithful. Like I think they said they're going to like change 637 00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:15.199 some things or add some stuff. I know people are speculating, like there's 638 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:19.480 a whole area of that game that got cut where you go to this like 639 00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:24.800 snow like area that was like home to like the giants, And there's actually 640 00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:29.239 a good Vati video video where he talked about that. I was like, 641 00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:31.400 oh right, I forgot about that. So some people were like speculating, 642 00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:34.960 like what if they put that back in the game. I don't necessarily want 643 00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.199 to get my hopes up too much that they're going to do something as dramatic 644 00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:43.400 as that, But I'm really curious if they're actually going to like take the 645 00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:51.679 opportunity to add or change anything because the Shadow, because there was a lot 646 00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:54.440 of when we interview them for Autiologues last year, there's a lot of stuff 647 00:48:54.440 --> 00:49:00.159 in Shadow, you know, A way to Sound originally had ideas. I 648 00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:04.400 think it was twenty four coloss side instead of forty eight at one point. 649 00:49:04.519 --> 00:49:08.079 Yeah, they left some stuff in the game, and there's like the garden 650 00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:13.480 at the top that you can get to if you platform up in a very 651 00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:16.400 specific way, even though there's nothing there. And like there's all these rumors 652 00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:20.920 about the seventeenth Colossus, and you know, they didn't put any of that 653 00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:24.480 in. The only thing they put in was like that new collectible sword, 654 00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:29.719 right, and yeah, and then the sword which was a reference to one 655 00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:34.079 of their community members, Like no mad, wasn't it. So I mean 656 00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:38.360 in terms of like changing things, obviously they changed the control scheme to modernize 657 00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:42.280 it. I wonder how, like you said, I just wonder how much 658 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.440 they would I wonder what From's involvement was. From the sounds of it, 659 00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:52.119 right, the original Shadow team wasn't that involved in the remake aside from handing 660 00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:57.280 over things. I wonder if From has any oversight. And I wonder if 661 00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:01.679 they aren't going to put cut stuff back in. That would be awesome. 662 00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:07.280 And two, like, unlike Shadow of the Clauses, there have been multiple 663 00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:12.639 Souls games after Demon Souls that have refined and added and changed and then all 664 00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:16.159 this stuff. So like I imagine it couldn't just be like they'd have to 665 00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:19.840 do something with the game. They couldn't just leave it as is, otherwise 666 00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:22.719 it would still probably feel dated. Like an easy example is like the role 667 00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:27.199 in that game is much more limited in terms of like how many directions you 668 00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:30.440 can roll in compared to later games, So they could add, like you 669 00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:32.440 know, they could make the role more dynamic. Like that's like a really 670 00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:37.320 small thing that like you would hope they would add just to make it like 671 00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:40.840 feel more modern. But it was a really cool thing from when we were 672 00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:45.679 talking with them that so the Blue Point engine is cool and like it basically 673 00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:50.400 runs their version of the game in the original version of the game at the 674 00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:53.119 same time, and there was a really cool thing that they were saying that, 675 00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:58.760 like some of the coding in the original version of Shadow was so cool 676 00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:04.559 that they just like it. So I think the on Wanders Pon show, 677 00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:09.519 he has these little fringe things around his belt, and that's the original coding 678 00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:15.880 from PS two Shadow that they used in the PS four version. I saw. 679 00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:21.599 I saw vati speculating because because they I guess at one point there was 680 00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:24.599 a description I forget if it was like in the trailer, like the YouTube 681 00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:28.440 trailer description, like they took it out, but it said like it mentioned 682 00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:30.480 a thing called fractured mode, which is not a thing from the original game 683 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:34.000 at all, and the fact that they took it out. I don't know 684 00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:37.119 if that means like that they didn't want to talk about it, or if 685 00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.039 like that's not correct, like who knows, Like I don't want to like, 686 00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:43.920 you know, say, that's definitely a thing. But he was kind 687 00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:45.039 of speculating like, well, what could that even be? And one of 688 00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:49.119 the things he was saying, like was what if they let you actually switch 689 00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:52.400 between like the og art style like in the new one, like in the 690 00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:57.239 vein of the Halo. Yeah, because you know, some people have been 691 00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:00.679 kind of complaining about how like the new art style loses some of the atmosphere, 692 00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:06.159 and I could certainly understand some of those arguments. It was certain areas, 693 00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:08.880 So that would be cool. I don't know if they would actually do 694 00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:10.960 that. That sounds like a lot of work, and I don't know if 695 00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:17.079 their engine is capable of going that far with it, but that'd be neat 696 00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:22.480 well anyway, the next thing we have here is Pokemon Snap, which was 697 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:27.320 announced today New Pokemon Snap. Right, did you guys play Pokemon Snap at 698 00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:34.519 all? The original I did oh wearing a god damn Pikachu shit you didn't 699 00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:37.039 have. I didn't mind. The real question is, did you guys have 700 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:42.280 a Blockbuster that had that kiosk you could go and print out your Pokemon Snap 701 00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:47.480 stuff too. I don't think so. I have definitely didn't. Oh so, 702 00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:52.159 like you could go to the Blockbuster and they had like a machine and 703 00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:55.199 you could like bring your your your memory card and it would like print out 704 00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:00.079 your photos for you. What yeah, oh yeah, that's what I get 705 00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:06.239 for going to a Hollywood video. And because I never owned an N sixty 706 00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.480 four, I played the game my friend's South. But I remember like going 707 00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:10.440 to the Blockbuster and seeing it and being like, oh my god, I 708 00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:14.559 wish I had this game because I would totally do that. So I never 709 00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:16.280 actually got to print them out myself, unfortunately, but I did see that 710 00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:20.719 machine and I was like, man, I wish I could do that. 711 00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:24.599 That's awesome. I think I only speaking of Blockbuster and stuff. I don't 712 00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:28.360 think I ever owned Pokemon Snap. I think I must have rented it. 713 00:53:29.719 --> 00:53:34.079 We rented most of our games back then, back back, and back then. 714 00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:39.360 We had to walk thirteen miles to the Blockbuster Video Hollywood video, actually 715 00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:44.239 the Hollywood video in my case, which was actually extremely close to my house. 716 00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:49.039 It would have taken about two minutes for me to go there. Yeah. 717 00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:52.679 So I my memory of it is not very strong. I don't have 718 00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:55.159 the same attachment to it that a lot of people do. I played a 719 00:53:55.360 --> 00:54:00.960 lot of Pokemon spinoff games on the GameCube. That's where like there were some 720 00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:07.199 some real interesting ones like Pokemon Channel, but I didn't do too many. 721 00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:12.760 I had Pokemon Stadium and stuff. But Pokemon Snap I don't think we owned, 722 00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:16.960 or if we did, I don't remember it. But it the it 723 00:54:17.039 --> 00:54:23.920 is actually called New Pokemon Snap, and it looks really good. I'm excited. 724 00:54:24.119 --> 00:54:28.800 So is it a brand new game or is it just a new It 725 00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:34.800 is a new game, and it is inspired by the n sixty four classic 726 00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:38.800 according to the Pokemon Company. Interesting, I'm kind of with you, Kelly. 727 00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:42.039 And then, like I remember playing it as a kid, but I 728 00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:44.280 don't think I ever owned it, so I didn't really have much of an 729 00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:47.519 attachment to it. I do remember from my Nintendo sixty four getting hey you, 730 00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:52.199 Pikachu. Oh yeah, just kind of a mess yeah, oh god, 731 00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:54.239 yeah, but because like you were supposed to talk to Pikachu, but 732 00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:58.280 I had nothing worked. It was I don't know, it was just a 733 00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:01.719 little kid screaming into a headset and thing. Actually just like online games today, 734 00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:07.719 you know. I think the coolest thing about Pokemon Snap is how it 735 00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:12.840 encouraged that sort of like rumor a lot of like the rumor like playground rumor 736 00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:15.760 stuff where because it would be very much like like no, you got to 737 00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:20.840 throw your your apple like right into that you know, like volcano and then 738 00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:22.880 it like explodes and like that's where like you know, Magmar comes out of 739 00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:25.920 and like like it had that kind of like oh, I got to go 740 00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:30.159 home and try this, like to see if I can find that. So 741 00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:32.679 like I'm really excited to like play the game and like see what kind of 742 00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:37.519 like weird inventive like secrets they have, like how you can find some examples 743 00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:42.159 of Pokemon. I saw someone posted a gift. I don't know if it's 744 00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:45.400 real, but it was from it looked like it was from Pokemon Snap of 745 00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:49.079 like going next to a volcano and I think there's like a charm million like 746 00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:51.480 walking around next to it and someone threw an apple at him and he fell 747 00:55:51.519 --> 00:55:55.199 into the volcano. It's like, if this is real, this is hilarious. 748 00:55:55.679 --> 00:55:59.280 I should look into that, but I thought that was pretty funny. 749 00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:01.719 But yeah, I'm excited. I did just to see what a Pokemon Snap 750 00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:06.440 game is going to look like in twenty twenty. Like that alone has me 751 00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:10.400 interested. I I definitely wasn't one of those people asking for Pokemon Snap during 752 00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:15.960 every Pokemon event like many people usually do, so I'm very excited that those 753 00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:21.880 people will finally get a sequel to Pokemon Snap or a new Pokemon Snap called 754 00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:25.119 New Pokemon Snap. Uh say, new Pokemon Snap one more time. I 755 00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:32.519 day New Pokemon Snap. Thank you. Anyway, Jake, I think that 756 00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:36.360 that was totally legit. You do you have to like, yeah, you 757 00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:38.199 can push them. You have to push him in and then he evolves into 758 00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:43.239 uh uh charmillion and then you push him in again and evolves up a charts 759 00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:52.599 ard man. That damn Okay. Yeah, I I don't know. I'm 760 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.719 there is going to be another announcement next week, which is interesting. I 761 00:56:55.719 --> 00:57:00.599 don't know why they saved it. I'm like it like I am one of 762 00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:05.519 the people that asked for Jodo remakes every announcement, so I'm like, when 763 00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:07.559 are we getting a Jodo remake, even though we've already had a Jodo remake 764 00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:09.960 and Jen four hasn't had a remake. But Jen four is the worst gens, 765 00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:13.320 so nobody cares. I forget who it was. But there was somebody 766 00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:15.079 on Twitter who's a lot of people care, just me, who is saying 767 00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:20.239 that, like, I guess all the Pokemon plushies behind, I forget who 768 00:57:20.440 --> 00:57:23.760 They're all all Jodo and everyone's like, those are all Jodah Pokemon. So 769 00:57:23.960 --> 00:57:29.519 the thing about that is there was a very recent, relatively recent line of 770 00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:35.519 Jodo plushies. So last year the Pokemon Company had like this whole Jen one 771 00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:38.960 plushy line where they had a plush for every single Pokemon from the original one 772 00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:45.480 fifty one and they're doing that again with Gen two, so it could just 773 00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:49.679 be related to that. But there was like a let's go ev box and 774 00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:52.440 it was an ev An Espion and a numbry On. So I'm I'm going 775 00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:55.840 to go full conspiracy theorist. I'm like, yeah, I yes, And 776 00:57:55.880 --> 00:58:00.880 they definitely filmed whatever happened next week on the same day, like for sure, 777 00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:05.559 yeah, I yeah, I there's a lot of Jodo Pokemon, Like 778 00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:07.920 it's not even just that one line. There's like a line of it's a 779 00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:10.719 lot of legendaries you see, like the legendary dogs and stuff. But there's 780 00:58:10.800 --> 00:58:15.800 also in the top right or the top left corner there's a bunch of Jodo 781 00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:20.199 Pokemon. So I was like, you know what, I'm going to join 782 00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:23.559 this chorus of people that are like, it's a hint. Do you think 783 00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:29.119 if they made Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Evy two that took place in 784 00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:30.679 Jodo, do you think you'd be able to go back to Canto or do 785 00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:36.639 you think they'd cut that? Because that's a question that I was. I 786 00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:40.400 mean, we're so far out here now, but like that's like to Jodo, 787 00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:44.280 like I think you have to have that. That's what makes gent so 788 00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:46.199 special. I do too. I mean, I agree, it's my favorite. 789 00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:50.159 My favorite part of that game originally was finding out that I could go 790 00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:52.920 back to Canto and do all that kind of stuff. But I wonder if, 791 00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:58.679 like maybe the because Pokemon Let's Go had like a slightly different story and 792 00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:01.119 like some of the game was a little bit different, and I'm curious if 793 00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:07.039 maybe they'll do that. And the further we get from Let's Go the less 794 00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:10.639 I think that it would be a Let's Go style remake, just because I 795 00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:16.920 think that while Let's Go was pretty successful, I think it was very much 796 00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:22.639 intended for the Pokemon Go audience to kind of jump on the Pokemon game train 797 00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:29.880 for Switch, being the first Pokemon RPG on Switch. So that's why I 798 00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:32.679 don't think it would necessarily be in the Let's Go style. I mean, 799 00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:37.920 I'm I'm like one of those people. I want the one tam reel of 800 00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:40.599 Pokemon. I want to be able to go to every region I like, 801 00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:49.480 I am, I am too invested in that sort of thing. But if 802 00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:52.320 I had, if like I'm calling it now, if this is my prediction, 803 00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:57.960 I would say it's not a Let's Go style, it is its own 804 00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:00.960 kind of re Like if it is a or remake, it would be its 805 01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:07.400 own kind of Jodo remake, specifically utilizing what the Switch can do. Yodo 806 01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:15.159 being such a popular generation, that would be my biggest wish. That's my 807 01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:19.480 biggest wish to think about, like how they could connect them all where it's 808 01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:22.599 like, okay, well you could take the train from you know, like 809 01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:24.159 this region to this region, and then you could take like the boat over 810 01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:28.639 there to that. Like I I also think about that a lot, about 811 01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:34.239 how you could connect all those I thought about it with with freaking Sword and 812 01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:37.480 Shield. Because there's a train line and it's in Britain, and there's game 813 01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:43.280 I'm messing up my hair so agitated, and there's there's games set in France. 814 01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:49.440 Where's the chunnel? It is right there. We could just go over 815 01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:53.280 there. I want to take the chunnel, the pokea chunnel? You mean 816 01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:58.679 the Channel tunnel? What? Oh? I knowing me? Sorry, am 817 01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:01.880 I I'm spacing now. I'm proud of weird day. I mean when you 818 01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:05.119 said that, when you said chunnel, I was like, do you mean 819 01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:07.440 the Channel tunnel? Is that a thing that people call it? And I 820 01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:12.719 just never knew that because I'm thinking of the actual Channel tunnel in the UK 821 01:01:12.920 --> 01:01:17.480 to friends ignore me that wait, I thought, is it not called the 822 01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:24.199 chunnel, the tunnel that connects the UK to friends. Yeah, I never 823 01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:29.599 heard that, literally over ten years that it was called the chunnel. I 824 01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:37.199 would never ever heard anyone say that. Well, we got a name for 825 01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:46.920 this episode. I thought, secret chunnel. Dude, that's not what it's 826 01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:52.679 called. I like, I've thought since a high school that it was called 827 01:01:52.760 --> 01:02:00.199 that. I honestly never heard anyone ever say that. I think I think 828 01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:05.480 I was being bullied. Dude, you've been tricked, You've fully been drink. 829 01:02:05.599 --> 01:02:07.800 I was being lied. Do it, bully. It's just like when 830 01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:13.840 we told Mike Mahadi that the Channel Tunnel, also called referred to as the 831 01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:20.239 chunnel. Dot com refers to it as the chunnel. This is just for 832 01:02:20.320 --> 01:02:29.079 Americans. The Americans are too stupid to remember two words. Lucy or maybe 833 01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:32.840 or maybe Lucy has just she's no longer British anymore. It's true. Maybe 834 01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:40.519 I'm just chunnel dot org, dot UK that's the website. I'm I'm so 835 01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:50.519 relieved I have. I've genuinely never heard anyone say chunnel. Maybe it's one 836 01:02:50.519 --> 01:02:58.880 of those things where like most locals don't actually say that San fran or anything. 837 01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:05.039 We'd say you get the Eurostar, or you'd go through the Channel Tunnel 838 01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:13.199 so to go to Paris. But like Channel Tunnel is is more like you 839 01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:17.639 drive or you like you get on and then you're taken through and then Eurostar 840 01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:22.519 is the actual train. Huh. See. In America, we also don't 841 01:03:22.559 --> 01:03:29.559 have trains like that. That's true. So where's anything about anything? Where's 842 01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:34.159 where is our anyway train? Let's move on, Let's keep going here. 843 01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:36.800 We got some listener questions.

First questions from Adam on discord, Lucy, do you want 848 01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:55.559 to take this first one? I was listening to the jet Set Radio Future 849 01:03:55.599 --> 01:04:00.480 soundtrack this morning, and it made me wonder if a new game in an 850 01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:03.719 all but abandoned franchise was announced, what franchise would that need to be for 851 01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:11.440 you to buy day one without a second thought? Hmmm. Splinter Cell. 852 01:04:12.679 --> 01:04:15.519 I just wanted to say splinter Cell on this podcast, and so I included 853 01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:20.719 this is that all but abandoned though they've you know, they put Sam Fisher 854 01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:27.320 in Ghost Recon reimagined it. It's abandoned. Yeah, my man's shown up 855 01:04:27.360 --> 01:04:35.079 in Ghost Recon. They've abandoned it. I feel like this is an easy 856 01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:41.360 one, but anything from Konami, like you know, Yeah, I get. 857 01:04:43.119 --> 01:04:45.920 I guess it depends though I don't know. Maybe I don't know if 858 01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:46.800 it'd be an instant buy though, because I don't know if I would trust 859 01:04:46.840 --> 01:04:57.000 Konami. I don't know, because it's kind of happening for my one I 860 01:04:57.000 --> 01:05:04.400 would love in you BioShock, they have said that I'm making one. What's 861 01:05:04.519 --> 01:05:10.400 it's what's a dead franchise? I mean, originally my go to would be 862 01:05:10.519 --> 01:05:14.760 Psychonauts too and a new Beyond Good and Evil. And they announced the Psychoots 863 01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:16.599 two a couple of years ago. Wich I'm very excited for and they announced 864 01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:21.159 Beyond Good and Evil too. Yes, n I have to say, that's 865 01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:25.559 what I'll say. That's my answer. It's nine Silver Republic that's made. 866 01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:32.159 If they made a new Knights Silver Republic and still that answer does massive account 867 01:05:32.159 --> 01:05:35.920 is that abandoned? I was thinking that it's only been four years. I 868 01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:41.199 think, what's what's limitations on a franchise being banded? Like ten years? 869 01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:45.119 That's an age in game time, I would, so yeah, I would 870 01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:50.079 probably a generation. There hasn't been a whole new game in a generation. 871 01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:56.039 Well, then spinner Cell works for this thing, do because the last one 872 01:05:56.119 --> 01:06:00.639 was on three sixty. Yeah, so does Kotor count then because we have 873 01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:06.840 the Old Republic. Hmmm, I would still say because Old Republic, they 874 01:06:06.840 --> 01:06:10.280 don't. They haven't supported I mean, I think it's still up, but 875 01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:15.239 they haven't like added content to it for a while. I just like MMOs 876 01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:18.360 intimidate me so much that I just couldn't. I was like, it's just 877 01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:20.920 it's not the same I play. I tried playing it, and it's like, 878 01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:25.199 it's not it's not the same. Okay, so co tor Cans is 879 01:06:25.199 --> 01:06:27.960 what we were saying, I have a ship. I have another shitty answer, 880 01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:36.320 Elder scrolls six. That's I mean, they are working on it. 881 01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:44.880 Yeah, it's been almost a decade though. Every time I know. Yeah, 882 01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:48.920 yeah, I guess I'm just fortunate enough that a lot of the franchises 883 01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:53.400 I care about have continued. I mean, I guess like I played a 884 01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:57.000 lot of Tycoon games and they have kind of died off. But there's like 885 01:06:57.079 --> 01:07:01.719 Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo to kind of like replace or like, you know, 886 01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:08.800 I would love for there to be a good SimCity we have city Skyland. 887 01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:18.840 That's another shitty answer. But that last SimCity was Russ Yeah, I 888 01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:27.679 remember getting that day one and very very sad about it. Well, anyway, 889 01:07:28.199 --> 01:07:30.119 all right, I guess we'll move on, Kelly. Do you want 890 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:32.360 to read the next one? Sure? I love the way this is introed 891 01:07:32.679 --> 01:07:38.119 Shalom after Dark and Solitude Crew. As a thirty six year old gamer dad, 892 01:07:38.159 --> 01:07:41.880 I thought the coronavirus quarantine is the best time to start playing video games 893 01:07:41.880 --> 01:07:44.719 with my three and a half year old son. So I've handed him a 894 01:07:44.719 --> 01:07:47.360 PS four controller, not the five hundred million edition, of course that's mine, 895 01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:53.559 and launched Lego Marvel Superheroes. Beside the tantrum sessions when I tell him 896 01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:56.440 we need to close the game, we're having a great time together. I 897 01:07:56.480 --> 01:07:59.199 know some of you boys and girls grew up to gamer parents, and I 898 01:07:59.239 --> 01:08:02.000 wanted to know what it's like. Any pros con, sad, happy moments 899 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:05.280 and stories you'd like to share. Keep up the great work and stay safe. 900 01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:13.519 That's from Laran or a lie leron from Israel. PS. The chemistry 901 01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:16.319 between you is something too envy at. Thank you so much for the letter. 902 01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:21.000 Yeah, thank you for writing in. I played games with my dad. 903 01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:27.680 He had He brought an UPC to play a very specific edition of Worms 904 01:08:27.680 --> 01:08:31.880 when it came out we would play tomb Raider Quake, but my like, 905 01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:38.840 actually he was very like. He would play Double seven Night Fire with me, 906 01:08:39.119 --> 01:08:44.319 and we'd play Grantarisma and stuff together. But at the same time, 907 01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:46.119 we'd have a great we'd have a great time. But I do have a 908 01:08:46.159 --> 01:08:53.920 flashbulb memory of him making me cry because we were playing at golf ninety five 909 01:08:55.239 --> 01:08:59.119 and I was so shit at it. I did not I couldn't get the 910 01:08:59.199 --> 01:09:03.399 timing down to hit the swing, and he made me cry. The pros 911 01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:10.960 and cons of a game a parent, I was gonna say, like my 912 01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:15.960 parents pretty much had no interest in video games until my dad found out that 913 01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:20.520 they made video games based on World War Two, and then Medal of Honor 914 01:09:20.600 --> 01:09:25.119 became like a very big thing for a while. Like I remember, like 915 01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:28.119 one day he went and bought all of the Metal Honor Medal of Honor games 916 01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:31.640 he could get on Xbox. And then I remember the main reason I sold 917 01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:34.800 him on the three sixty was I was like, call of Duty two day 918 01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:39.279 one should take a look at this. And we played a bunch of like 919 01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:42.760 split screen and stuff with other friends and like that, I'd say, like 920 01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:45.800 playing World War two games was like, what did the trick. But before 921 01:09:45.840 --> 01:09:48.319 that, my parents were like, this is gonna rot your brain. I've 922 01:09:48.319 --> 01:09:51.720 got no interest in any of this. Well we'll get them for you so 923 01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:55.680 you can, I don't know, talk about him with your friends on the 924 01:09:55.680 --> 01:10:00.560 playground or whatever. But other than that, they were not interested. Both 925 01:10:00.600 --> 01:10:06.720 of my parents played video games. My mom would talk about playing like Arcade, 926 01:10:06.760 --> 01:10:12.720 gainst the Bowling Alley growing up and stuff and my mom. My mom 927 01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:15.760 and dad have very different gaming tastes. I would say, so, like, 928 01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:17.840 my dad is really just into shooters, like that's his number one thing. 929 01:10:18.800 --> 01:10:24.520 He's been playing shooters as long as I can remember. Correspondent our Call 930 01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:29.600 of Duty correspondent Rick, and he, uh, you know, showed me 931 01:10:29.680 --> 01:10:32.479 like Doom and Quake. I remember he had this mod for Quake that put 932 01:10:32.520 --> 01:10:41.600 Simpson's characters into the game on our old like our gateway desktop in the computer 933 01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:45.560 room. Oh yeah, we used to call that the computer room too. 934 01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:54.720 It was technically I think his office, but we call it a study m 935 01:10:55.159 --> 01:11:00.119 Yeah, that's kind of the yeah, same study room. My mom was 936 01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:05.720 really into Galago, which is where I get my love of that game from. 937 01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:12.640 She bought herself a game Boy Advanced sp to specifically play Namco Arcade Museum, 938 01:11:13.479 --> 01:11:17.560 and then she borrowed my brother's DS to play brain Age just because of 939 01:11:17.600 --> 01:11:24.479 the sadoku. But my mom also was really into platformers. We played Banjo 940 01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:29.920 Kazui together, but my mom has never been into the violent stuff really, 941 01:11:30.039 --> 01:11:32.800 And one of my favorite like it was it sucked at the time, But 942 01:11:32.920 --> 01:11:40.439 one of my favorite memories is my dad got GTA three and me and my 943 01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:43.760 brother who's four years younger than me, so he was really young at the 944 01:11:43.800 --> 01:11:49.119 time. We were all playing the PS two was in my parents room and 945 01:11:49.159 --> 01:11:53.840 I had the gamekeep in my room, so we were all in my parents' 946 01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:58.960 room playing and my mom found out that there were prostitutes in the game and 947 01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:01.800 stuff, so she took away GTA three not just for me and my brother, 948 01:12:01.880 --> 01:12:10.039 but also from my dad. And I found that copy of GTA three 949 01:12:10.640 --> 01:12:14.880 when my parents were moving and that was just like, oh yeah, this 950 01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:21.640 was the Troublemaker game. Let me go. My parents never really were in 951 01:12:21.680 --> 01:12:28.319 a games, but my dad was always really into like having like the coolest 952 01:12:28.399 --> 01:12:32.399 new hardware, so he would always be really into like buying like the newest 953 01:12:32.399 --> 01:12:36.119 computer with like the best graphics card and so he would always be like interested 954 01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:39.520 in games from a technical standpoint. So he'd be like, oh, I 955 01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:42.279 heard this game has like the best graphics and like you should get it and 956 01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:44.760 play it, and he like come over. So I'd be like, hey, 957 01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:45.479 Dad, come check this new game out. I got, like, 958 01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:49.199 look how good it looks. And he would always like be excited to just 959 01:12:49.199 --> 01:12:54.199 like see how visually good games would look, which is kind of interesting. 960 01:12:54.600 --> 01:12:58.720 Like he bought a PlayStation three just for the Blue Ray Player. Like I 961 01:12:58.760 --> 01:13:01.279 came home. That's my dude. I came home one day because like I 962 01:13:01.319 --> 01:13:04.720 never owned a console as a kid. It was like PC and I ham 963 01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:10.039 a game Boy. And then like finally, around like two thousand and six, 964 01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:15.000 I like bought my own Xbox three sixty and then like I was like, 965 01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:16.800 yep, this will be my one console. And then like yeah, 966 01:13:16.800 --> 01:13:19.119 well it must have been like a couple months later or whatever when the PS 967 01:13:19.119 --> 01:13:21.920 three came out, Like I just came home one day. My dad just 968 01:13:21.960 --> 01:13:25.199 had a PS three there, and he's like, I bought a PS three. 969 01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:27.319 I wanted the Blu ray Player, but here you go. You can 970 01:13:27.319 --> 01:13:31.479 play some games now. I was like, okay, but one memory I 971 01:13:31.479 --> 01:13:35.399 do have a playing games is My mom is like the huge Stars fan. 972 01:13:35.439 --> 01:13:40.399 It's like her favorite thing of all time. So I I played like she 973 01:13:40.479 --> 01:13:43.520 named you after John Luke Picard's so that's a little confused. Well, she 974 01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:49.000 also loves Star Trek as well. And I also think there aren't any good 975 01:13:49.319 --> 01:14:00.159 uh good, like you know, yeah sype key, yeah, sipe key. 976 01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:04.000 Maybe maybe that was her like way of like doubling up or something. 977 01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:16.760 Yeah, I kind of like Han Luke, but uh I I ended up 978 01:14:16.760 --> 01:14:20.239 playing Night Sealed the Republic with her. It's like like years later after it 979 01:14:20.239 --> 01:14:21.760 came out. I was just like, hey, Mom, do you want 980 01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:25.159 to like play this game, because, like you know, I think it's 981 01:14:25.199 --> 01:14:28.239 like it's such a good Star war story. And she was like, yeah, 982 01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:30.960 I want to try it. So like I actually had her play and 983 01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:32.560 I like walked her through how to play it, and like that's a really 984 01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:35.760 really fond memory I have. Did she love it? She did? She 985 01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:45.720 really really liked it. That's so sweet, very wholesome. All right, 986 01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:49.000 Wait, I have a really quick I told my mom likes platforms and puzzle 987 01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:54.239 games. I told my mom about Candy Crush, right. She ended up 988 01:14:54.239 --> 01:14:59.479 spending some money on Candy Crush. When I was in college. My dad 989 01:14:59.520 --> 01:15:04.199 called me and was like, what the fuck have you done? And uh 990 01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:10.840 my mom's counter point to that was, you buy a new Call of Duty 991 01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:16.119 every year. That's sixty dollars. Why can't I spend money on candy Crush? 992 01:15:16.199 --> 01:15:19.880 And he was like, fair point, and then it never came up 993 01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:29.960 yet Wow got him though she really did, all right. Last question comes 994 01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:33.399 from tricerah Tops from the discord. This is kind of similar to what we 995 01:15:33.439 --> 01:15:38.279 answered before, but is there a game you would love to wish into existence? 996 01:15:38.720 --> 01:15:42.359 It can be anything at all, like a canceled game, a remake 997 01:15:42.399 --> 01:15:45.560 of a game, or even a game of your own imagination. I would 998 01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:48.560 like to wish a new Final Fantasy main series game, but it returns to 999 01:15:48.600 --> 01:15:54.920 the NES roots both combat and graphically. So I guess the only caveat would 1000 01:15:54.960 --> 01:15:58.760 be don't pick a dead franchise or something like that. Since we already kind 1001 01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:00.880 of answered that, like, I can't say yourselves as much as I want 1002 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:03.760 to say splinter Cell, I know mine already, all right, go for 1003 01:16:03.800 --> 01:16:10.800 it. I want a GTA style game, but you play as the sex 1004 01:16:10.840 --> 01:16:17.119 worker. That's what I want. I want that you have. I've heard 1005 01:16:17.159 --> 01:16:20.399 this pitch, I'd play that. That's I'm gonna keep repeating it until it 1006 01:16:20.479 --> 01:16:26.880 happens. It's what I want. I also want my Hideo Kojima dating sim 1007 01:16:26.920 --> 01:16:30.000 where you play as Hideo Kojima and you pick from a suite of boys. 1008 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:35.079 Where's that. I know they're all real people, which is why that doesn't 1009 01:16:35.119 --> 01:16:43.840 work, but still Hideo Kijima's best friend Similia exactly to my game actually was 1010 01:16:43.880 --> 01:16:47.800 Silent Hills, so mm hmm. But I feel like that's an easy one 1011 01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:51.399 just because Pet was. But it's when we have to talk about it. 1012 01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:58.319 Yeah, my game is in so in Yakusa five, there's a whole arc 1013 01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:01.600 of that game where you play as a character who is a upcoming idol and 1014 01:17:01.920 --> 01:17:05.960 the whole so instead of like combat, everything in the game is like rhythm 1015 01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:10.640 minigames, and it's like you have like street battles where you like dance offs, 1016 01:17:10.640 --> 01:17:13.520 and you have like mini games where you're doing like signings and stuff like 1017 01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:16.760 that. So I would want a that expanded to a full game where you 1018 01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:21.000 play as Hot Sonny Meku and you're like wandering around like a virtual like you're 1019 01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:25.960 like virtual Hot snny Meku, who like somehow has the ability to walk around 1020 01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:30.800 and you have to like live the life of hot sunny Meiku and do concerts 1021 01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:35.279 and signings, and I don't know, something happens, and maybe maybe you 1022 01:17:35.359 --> 01:17:39.720 end up fighting people. I don't know. That would kill Michael. That 1023 01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:45.479 is Michael's game. I speaking of Yakaza though. I also just want to 1024 01:17:45.479 --> 01:17:49.000 put it out there that I would love a standalone cabaret club game. Oh 1025 01:17:49.039 --> 01:17:51.720 yeah, like a mobile game. Yeah, just like a mobile game where 1026 01:17:51.760 --> 01:17:56.479 I manage the cabaret club. Yeah, I'd pay real money for that. 1027 01:17:56.640 --> 01:18:03.199 Yeah. Man, I don't know. I'm thinking, but I can't think 1028 01:18:03.239 --> 01:18:09.079 of anything about that Halo game you came up with in your dream. Oh 1029 01:18:09.239 --> 01:18:16.239 yeah, that's true. My my Halo Breath of the Wild sort of style 1030 01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:19.800 game, which I think would be pretty cool and in VR, but it 1031 01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:24.359 didn't have to be in VR. That's that's the game I want. Also, 1032 01:18:25.159 --> 01:18:28.600 Jake, I feel like you don't have an answer because Neil Druckman made 1033 01:18:28.600 --> 01:18:31.640 a game based on your brain. That's true. And I was about to 1034 01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:36.119 say why, but I can't. But you'll find out if you listened to 1035 01:18:36.159 --> 01:18:40.000 the Spoiler cast, if you listen to spoiler guest, and when you guys 1036 01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:45.800 play it, I'm sure you'll be like, oh yeah when I when I 1037 01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:48.600 experience it, I'm gonna be playing this weekend. But like, yeah, 1038 01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:53.479 as I was playing that game, I remember texting Cali and I was like, 1039 01:18:53.880 --> 01:18:58.359 I think Neil Druckman is inside of my head somehow, because he made 1040 01:18:58.359 --> 01:19:03.000 two creative decisions that I would have definitely made. I probably wouldn't have done 1041 01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:05.520 it nearly as well as he did, but I was like, yeah, 1042 01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:09.039 if I made a game, I would definitely have both of these things in 1043 01:19:09.079 --> 01:19:14.079 it, and they're very specific, Like probably I doubt there are many people 1044 01:19:14.079 --> 01:19:17.079 who play this game who would like probably be like, oh yeah, those 1045 01:19:17.119 --> 01:19:21.079 two things are what I want in a game. I'm gonna I'm gonna message 1046 01:19:21.119 --> 01:19:24.520 you because I think I know what one is. I think I saw Greg 1047 01:19:24.560 --> 01:19:30.079 playing this moment. I will message you and see if I got it right. 1048 01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:33.159 All right, I think that's it though. That's it for episode forty 1049 01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:38.520 six. Thank you all so much for tuning in to GameSpot after Dark each 1050 01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:42.079 and every week. We're gonna keep going. We're gonna rotate the cast a 1051 01:19:42.119 --> 01:19:45.880 little bit. See how that goes We've got some more guests planned too. 1052 01:19:45.359 --> 01:19:48.279 I think next week we're gonna try to have Jeff Bakalara on, which would 1053 01:19:48.279 --> 01:19:51.359 be fun. I haven't talked to him yet, but apparently to Moore has, 1054 01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:57.640 so if he doesn't show up next week, then it's on TAM. 1055 01:19:58.920 --> 01:20:01.640 It's a TAM goof. But anyway, Lucy, what are you working on 1056 01:20:01.680 --> 01:20:04.239 and where can people find you? I've been doing a bunch of play for 1057 01:20:04.359 --> 01:20:10.880 all streams. Been working on that with TAM and Chastity booking six weeks worth 1058 01:20:10.920 --> 01:20:16.199 of guests next week. Wants to look out for Thursday. Unannounced, but 1059 01:20:16.239 --> 01:20:19.399 it's going to be very big. I'll be promoting that from Monday, and 1060 01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:23.800 we have the last podcast on the Left Guys, which I'm very excited about 1061 01:20:23.880 --> 01:20:26.800 we have. We were streaming doc Souls with Marcus Parks the other day, 1062 01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:30.039 so much fun. So Henry is going to be joining with Marcus and we're 1063 01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:34.479 going to do some like what's the game. It's like an f MV game 1064 01:20:34.560 --> 01:20:39.279 and you have to guess if people are lying and solve a crime. So 1065 01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:46.359 very excited to put that to the tech. It's called like confusion contra contradiction 1066 01:20:46.520 --> 01:20:56.479 contradiction contraception contraception the game, so we're playing that with them next week. 1067 01:20:57.039 --> 01:21:02.000 Please tune in donate Mata as well as direct relief. And I'm on Twitter 1068 01:21:02.039 --> 01:21:08.239 a Lacy James Games Kelly. I'm gonna be on one of the Play for 1069 01:21:08.279 --> 01:21:13.920 All charity streams on well today Friday. Yeah, if you are listening right 1070 01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:15.199 when this episode goes up, it'll be a little bit later, so check 1071 01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:19.239 that out. And then I, like I said, I'm working on the 1072 01:21:19.279 --> 01:21:25.880 Isle of Armor review, and then I've also put up the review for the 1073 01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:30.600 Last of Us part two that contains spoilers. I would not suggest even clicking 1074 01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:35.279 on it if you don't want to be spoiled, because I mentioned a spoilery 1075 01:21:35.319 --> 01:21:40.439 thing very very close to the top of the page after the spoiler warning, 1076 01:21:40.720 --> 01:21:44.159 so just to be extra careful, the thumbnail isn't gonna have any spoilers or 1077 01:21:44.159 --> 01:21:48.800 anything, so don't wry about that. And there Jake cut the spoiler free 1078 01:21:49.000 --> 01:21:56.199 video review, which you can watch, and then Evan handled the spoilery video 1079 01:21:56.239 --> 01:22:00.479 review. Totally unprecedented thing that we're trying for this just because the game kind 1080 01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:08.319 of horns it. So yeah, it's juggling a lot and not too much. 1081 01:22:08.760 --> 01:22:11.680 I'm mostly just doing behind the scenes stuff for play for All, both 1082 01:22:12.119 --> 01:22:16.560 recording interviews and helping out Tay on the tech side. I think I'm gonna 1083 01:22:16.560 --> 01:22:20.319 try and take some weight off his shoulders, hopefully soon. I think that 1084 01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:25.720 that man is getting very, very exhausted. He's been putting in so much 1085 01:22:25.760 --> 01:22:28.720 work. So huge shout out to to Tay. He doesn't get enough enough 1086 01:22:28.800 --> 01:22:30.520 love for how much he does behind the scenes on the tech side of that. 1087 01:22:31.520 --> 01:22:34.439 But otherwise, I'm sure in the coming weeks, I'll be working on 1088 01:22:34.560 --> 01:22:43.199 some stuff cool, and then for me, we are I'm doing Last of 1089 01:22:43.279 --> 01:22:45.520 Us stuff. There's gonna be a couple of Last of His videos that will 1090 01:22:45.560 --> 01:22:48.399 go up on embargo and throughout the next couple of days, including the spoiler 1091 01:22:48.479 --> 01:22:51.359 chat. So there'll be plenty of Last of Us two stuff going up on 1092 01:22:51.439 --> 01:22:55.159 site that you want to check out. And then the other thing John Luca 1093 01:22:55.199 --> 01:23:00.199 actually part of this too is I think I could talk about it. This 1094 01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:05.680 is we're going to have the creative I guess lead on Skyblivion, that big 1095 01:23:05.720 --> 01:23:09.319 Skyrim Mond He's going to be on for a stream with us, and we're 1096 01:23:09.319 --> 01:23:13.399 going to check that out, which is super exciting for those who don't know, 1097 01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:16.640 it's basically a team trying to recreate Oblivion and Skyrim's engine, and what 1098 01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:19.000 they've done so far is super impressive. I think that'll be fun. Make 1099 01:23:19.000 --> 01:23:23.880 sure to check that out if you can. That's Tuesday am, right, 1100 01:23:24.479 --> 01:23:28.359 yep, yep, Tuesday, nine am. If all things go as planned, 1101 01:23:28.359 --> 01:23:30.439 we're going to do a technical test this weekend or early next week and 1102 01:23:30.640 --> 01:23:33.359 see. But anyway, that's it. Thank you all so much for tuning 1103 01:23:33.399 --> 01:24:00.760 in, and we'll see you next week. By Bhye no
