00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:15.800
Yer, it's the Internet. You're
busy. Let's do this for September twenty

2
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.800
nine, twenty twenty three. For
the next hour or so, let me

3
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.199
help you sort through the world of
gaming on Game mess Mornings Live with me

4
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.359
Jeff Grubb. Today, there is
trouble in the Old Republic, but there's

5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.640
the launches, a surprise new Elder
Scrolls game, and more. But first

6
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.920
please join me and welcoming today's co
host the Games Mornings. It's Tamore,

7
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.119
Who's saying, everybody, Tam,
how are you doing? I'm ready for

8
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:43.000
Drag's Day. I'm ready. Let's
let's do this. I'm gonna try.

9
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.240
We're gonna try our best to make
the most of Drag's Day. That's right,

10
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.640
as we always do. We've never
failed out, Tam. It's not

11
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.920
gonna be a good time. It's
gonna be a fun time. We're gonna

12
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.520
have some goose, some caffs.
We're gonna make a light of news that

13
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.159
is boring, try and bring some
entertainment value to it. And we're also

14
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.079
trying and do some actual analysis and
commentary. You know, if you if

15
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.400
they're lucky, if they if they
were lucky, if they deserve it,

16
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.519
we'll see if you got good boys
and girls out there, you'll get a

17
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:18.640
little bit of analysis. You can't
never I'm not gonna say it, Sam,

18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.519
How are you doing? How was
your week? You know it's been

19
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:26.040
okay. I'm very tired. What
happened this week? I think the the

20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.120
I like spent most of it just
working on stuff, like at the Allen

21
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.519
Wake preview was one that went up
earlier this weekend. Spent a lot of

22
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.079
time on that. Yeah, how
are you still feeling pretty hard on that

23
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.760
game? Right? Oh? Yeah, I am very I think the whole

24
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:48.040
crux of my preview is it feels
like Remedy is like confident in what it's

25
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.439
doing now, as opposed to being
like, hey, we've got an idea,

26
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.239
here's a leap of faith that it
might be good. It's like,

27
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.239
no, we've done this before,
let's let's do it again, but do

28
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.280
it it with confidence. So it's
got all the weirdness of control, all

29
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:07.920
the melo drama and the kind of
like atmosphere of Max pain. It's got

30
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:13.919
the silly live action of quantum break. And instead of being like, you

31
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.400
know, gingerly trying that stuff out, it's in there. It's delivered in

32
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.560
a really, really like confident way, and on top of that, it's

33
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.080
just like a good survival horror game. It feels like an actual survival horror

34
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.360
game, and I love that genre, So I'm very It's one of my

35
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.159
most anticipated games of the year.
I hope that it delivers. Absolutely everything

36
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.599
I've played so far certainly seems like
it will deliver. So yeah, I'm

37
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.360
hot on that game. I I'm
looking forward to it as well. I

38
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.400
think you're right, like Remedy seems
like, you know that they haven't come

39
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.919
into their own before, but this
was like another step in coming into their

40
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.919
own where it's like they have the
skill and they always have the talent,

41
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.759
and now they have just this treasure
trove of experience and resources from from working

42
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.520
with Epic who didn't pull the resources
and on the al Wake team at the

43
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.479
very least, it seems like.
So yeah, it's like every everything's working

44
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.159
in this game's favor, and yeah, everything I've seen from it's been very

45
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:08.319
exciting. So I'm glad to hear
that you were enjoying what you've played a

46
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.680
bit what you've seen, and yeah, we'll keep an eye on that game

47
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.159
for sure. Other than other than
that. No, I mean, god,

48
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.439
it's we're kind of getting to the
player the year where I'm like really

49
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.479
starting to think about what do I
want to start playing other than these new

50
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.400
releases, And it turns out there's
still a ton of new releases. We're

51
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.800
getting a lot of code. We
got Spider Man in. We could say

52
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.080
that, says Screamage could say that
a couple others. But like, when

53
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.400
I look back on what I want
to play from earlier this year, I

54
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.000
mean, I see if Stars is
one, I want to try a couple

55
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.680
others. How about you anything that
stands out? Yeah, I mean,

56
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.479
like just so much right now,
I like the Unfortunate. It's going to

57
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.439
sound like a first of world problem. Like for me as someone who also

58
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.080
like takes care of the reviews on
game Spot as well, it's hard to

59
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.280
spend a lot of time playing one
game when there's a bunch of games coming

60
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.159
out, because I try and play
everything that we'll reviewing that's kind of mid

61
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:05.560
to high tier. So I have
some so I have some excuse me,

62
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.479
experience, and like a frame of
reference for when the reviewer sends their copy

63
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.080
in and they say things about it, I can think about what I played

64
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.680
and be like, h that sounds
off or that sounds about right, and

65
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.079
pushed back where I need to or
you know, tweak things as as I

66
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:29.639
think that is more accurate and help
work with Oh hear you there, I

67
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.519
can see you and hear you now. Is that a Discord problem or computer

68
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.839
problem? Yeah, Discord just freaked
out. Okay, Well, you know

69
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.879
what, You're back and at it
and you look good. Sound good?

70
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.319
Now, so let's just pretend to
Yeah, so I like hang out everything.

71
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.439
Discord's trending, just like I looked
away from your face. Damn the

72
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.720
Twitter and Discord's trending. That's not
Let's take a look at this, the

73
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:54.319
trendy with cloud fair Flare. Okay, so we'll see. We'll see what

74
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.439
happens. So far, so good. Cloud Flare as a service, yes,

75
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.399
okay, so yeah, so I
try and play everything, but it

76
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.600
means that when there's a game coming
out, it was a bunch of games

77
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.279
coming out, I'm not able to
commit to anything. I have to quickly

78
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.120
move from one thing to the other. I'm not playing a lot of them.

79
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.040
I'm playing just enough to get a
good grasp of them. So I've

80
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.120
been doing a lot of that lately, and I've been trying to like and

81
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.000
unfortunately it's all games that I want
to play more of. Like I still

82
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.800
need to play more of Lives of
p I still want to play more of

83
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.560
what's called Cyberpunk. I'm like part
way through Phantom Liberty and it's amazing,

84
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.399
it's really good, and and like
there's other games that obviously Spider Man's Hair

85
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.000
now and as you mentioned, and
there's a lot of games, man,

86
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:44.120
there's a lot of games. Like
I am still despite not having a lot

87
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.360
of fun with Starfield, I still
want to go and see what else it

88
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.519
has to offer. But right now
it's like not super high on my priority

89
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.079
list. I will go back to
it eventually, but that's another game I

90
00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:00.040
want to play. Cocoon is out
now. I still will And I have

91
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.959
been playing like half an hour of
Blasphemous two at time, and I'm setting

92
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.639
but yeah, I just there's a
lot going on, man, Yeah,

93
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.920
balders Gate three is the biggest one
for me. Actually, even I forgot

94
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.120
about Bollos Gay. I'm like still
an Act the one. I'm like,

95
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.240
yeah, I was into Act the
one, Jesus. I'm just like,

96
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.399
yeah, I'll fill. I'm gonna
look at a speed run and I'll do

97
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.120
that. That's how play Balder's gap
three. That's the optimal way. Thank

searching for Game Mess Mornings, or find

105
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.399
the RSS on giant bomb dot com. You can also catch the show later

106
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:57.279
with chapters and time stamps on YouTube. Hello YouTube. All right, we

107
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.519
have a lot to get into,
so let's start the Morning Mess with Sony

108
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.240
deletes mentions of troubled Star Wars Cotour
PS five remake and hides the trailer.

109
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.680
This is from Ethangotch at Kotaku,
a teaser for a Star Wars Knights of

110
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.120
the Older Republic remake coming to PlayStation
five. Nearly stole the show at Sony

111
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.920
September twenty twenty one showcase. How
is it really already that long ago?

112
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.040
But reports surface last year that the
project was already in trouble. Now,

113
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.920
Star Wars fans have noticed that Sony
recently deleted tweets about the game and has

114
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.800
hidden the trailer from its official YouTube
channel. Word that the teaser trailer had

115
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.720
been removed from PlayStation's channel first began
to spread on September twenty eighth on the

116
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.079
Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit. Twitter
user Crusader three four five six shout out

117
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.480
to Crusader, who's always been very
kind to me later shared a thread showing

118
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:45.639
that Sony's tweets about the teaser from
the original twenty twenty one PlayStation showcase had

119
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.680
also been deleted. The only official
mention left appears to be a single tweet

120
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.439
promoting multiple games from the live stream. It's possible to highly anticipated Cotour remake

121
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.959
is still alive and this is just
some weirdness on the part of Sony's social

122
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.040
media department. It also might be
the case the project project, which debuted

123
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:07.160
as a PS five exclusive, has
all but been canceled amid ongoing development issues

124
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.240
and massive budget cuts at parent publisher
Embracer. Sony Embracer did not immediately respond

125
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:18.480
to a request for comment. Yea, my prospects, my sort of hopes

126
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.560
for this game have always been pretty
low. After that initial trailer, I

127
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.319
kind of I talked to some sources
and they were like, yeah, that

128
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:30.040
that thing's very very very very far
away. It's very early whatever's happening here,

129
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:31.679
and so I'm like, okay.
I recalibrated my expectations at that point,

130
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.519
and then, of course, since
then, pretty much all we've heard

131
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.080
is is troubling news, including it
moving from a Spire. Who is this

132
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.799
Who's a team that used to do
Apple ports, MacPorts, excuse me,

133
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.279
and now they've done a lot of
ports of classic Star Wars games. They

134
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.799
were going to do this big,
big budget remake, and then they moved

135
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.440
from a Spire after issues there where
everyone who's looking at the game, including

136
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.879
Sony and Embracer and the parent group
or whatever, they looked at it.

137
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:58.080
We're like, we're not happy with
this. So they moved it over to

138
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.840
Saber Interactive, a studio I really
like, but not something not another like

139
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.039
big world beating studio that has done
a lot of the biggest kinds of games.

140
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.159
So it's like like even then,
I'm like, oh, that seems

141
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.960
difficult for them as well. What
is your take here, what do you

142
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.759
think Sony's doing? It's hard to
say. I mean, like, there's

143
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.519
so many cooks in this kitchen.
It's a license property. The points of

144
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.240
failure are so like many, They're
so abundant that it could be any number

145
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.399
of things that are causing problems.
It could simply be like, oh,

146
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.480
we need to It could be as
simple as, oh, we need to

147
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.639
re up some licenses, and as
part of that, we need to take

148
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.440
down every like instance of this thing
so that we don't get any legal trouble

149
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.600
because obviously stalls owned by Disney now, and they could just be like,

150
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.519
well, let's just through this shit
out of Sony or PlayStation because they've got

151
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.440
this thing up on their channel and
they don't have the license for it.

152
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.080
It could be something like that,
yeah, but it also could be like

153
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:03.240
a catastrophic kind of like hitch in
the development of it, or as people

154
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.679
seem to be indicating it is like
I understand the kind of like knee jack

155
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.840
reaction to go to the worst case
scenario and say it's gone and in no

156
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.600
likelihood. It could very well be
gone. It is a possibility. Yeah,

157
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.559
there's also a variety of other things
that could be happening behind the scenes

158
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:28.440
that either or not as like drastic
and like exciting in terms of like news,

159
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.559
but could it could pop up again
soon. I also feel like I

160
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:39.279
don't think it needs a major developer
behind it to to get it done.

161
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.080
In fact, I think it's harder
for a major developer to be involved in

162
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.600
this project, Like if it was
a BioWare doing it again, it would

163
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.799
like take forever and would be worth
all the effort from a big studio like

164
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.320
that. I don't know, it
probably wouldn't happen, Like I think like

165
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.159
it would just be like, nah, we're gonna get it to be clear,

166
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.279
okay, with they would be involved
by where EA would be involved,

167
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.519
but E's not involved with this game. But yes, no, no,

168
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.440
no, you're right, no,
yes, sorry, yeah, yeah,

169
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.919
yeah. It would be like would
rather you make Mass Effect or Dragon Age?

170
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.879
Clearly that's what they're doing, yeah, yeah, yeah, And and

171
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.759
like a studio like Aspire is probably
around the right tier or studio that you

172
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.120
want working on this because in an
in an ideal world, they're not massive,

173
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.039
so they're attainable, and but they
also have the talent to do a

174
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.480
good job of the game. I
think about like the team that recently did

175
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.159
System Shock I forgot their name now, yeah it was is that Night Dive.

176
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.320
I think it's Night Dive. Yeah
yeah, night Dive Night like the

177
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:46.159
Night pull it off like spectacularly.
Like those are the kind of studios that

178
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.240
you generally want on this kind of
experience, and Sabers like had Saber is

179
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:56.279
Saber is a great pick for that. I think like the Witch or three

180
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.200
port to switch with Saber and it's
like, oh wow, that's that is

181
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.200
technical magic over there, so they
on the technical side, they'll have it.

182
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.360
It's like cleaning up the gameplay for
modern audiences is the thing where well

183
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.879
you know, they were also the
studio that took one of my favorite games,

184
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.000
snow Runner, as a sequel to
Spin Tires and Mud Runner, and

185
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.840
they turned it into more of a
video game and made that all that stuff

186
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.799
better as well. So I think
they have the chops all along what you're

187
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.559
talking about there where they would be
good at this part of the remake,

188
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.200
they'd be good at that part of
the remake. It's just the it is

189
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.159
the tier of budget is the thing
that's always kind of like wonky here,

190
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.720
where is this going to be the
biggest kind of Triple A remake? And

191
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.159
it does that make sense? And
if that's the case, is Saber capable

192
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:39.879
of that? It's like, well, maybe it shouldn't be that bring it

193
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.440
down, But that's not the way
they talked about it. And when they

194
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.919
introduced this game at that Sony A
showcase, So I don't know, it

195
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.320
was always a weird project and now
it just feels even it feels lost at

196
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.759
see at the very least, Yeah, it is definitely weird that like trailers

197
00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:00.360
for it or vanishing, yes,
which is very very strange. But like

198
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:05.080
I said, there's every likelihood,
a decent chance of it being like,

199
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.159
oh we need to do a license
thing. Yeah, I mean I think

200
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.639
it's to me, I read this
as Sony is unsure about it. They

201
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.120
don't know one way or the other, and so to them, the safest

202
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.080
thing is, let's we're gonna pull
away from promoting this because we don't want

203
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.080
to be in any sort of false
advertising situation, which would be a hard

204
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.919
case to prove. But their lawyers
are like, why even risk it.

205
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:30.240
Why would we even risk it.
Just pull it down and if the game

206
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.240
comes back, then we'll put them
back up. It's very simple thing to

207
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.440
do to protect us from legal or
from from you know, legal recourse from

208
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.120
a class action lawsuit or something from
fancying. You promised this and you said

209
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.159
you were involving, you were going
to make it happen. Yeah, yeah,

210
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.360
I mean protecting from legal recourse is
one thing, but like that's chump

211
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:54.159
changed next to protecting yourselves from entitled
game is exactly was an easy argument,

212
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.000
yeah, like yeah, oh yeah, we don't want to deal with that.

213
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.120
That's a headache. Yeah yeah,
it's like a year from now.

214
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:05.679
You don't want some ship muncher on
Twitter being like yeah, and we have

215
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.919
washed our hands of it like that, And that's a fair position if it's

216
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:11.759
you know, Sony being like,
I don't know, we're talking about what

217
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.080
now. Sony was so like from
the beginning that Sony was more involved with

218
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.440
this game than you might have thought. Like they definitely positioned it as like

219
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.639
they are helping to make this happen. Yeah, so they probably will have

220
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.840
to answer it eventually, but they
also likely cannot do that until Embracer speaks

221
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.360
on it, and I think the
last time Embracer mentioned something, they're like,

222
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.360
yeah, that's still happening. Yeah, let's and things are in flux.

223
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.720
And it's a couple of months ago. And it's like, I mean,

224
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.879
how do you believe anything I've Embracer
these days? Embracer man, Oh

225
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:50.519
God, menace of a company.
Yep. Such a sad, sad situation.

226
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.639
Yeah. So. Bloomberg reported in
July twenty twenty two that the developer

227
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.519
has spent a significant amount of time
and resources on a proof of concept demo.

228
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.080
It's what we talked about, and
that was a it failed to pass

229
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.879
the muster. Fast forward a year
and parent company Embracers instituting cuts across its

230
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.159
sprawling portfolio, including canceling games and
shutting down entire studios like Volition. As

231
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.480
a report, we're losing out on
a two billion dollar investment from Saudi Arabia

232
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.039
Aspire. How much you want for
legacy of kine here it is email start

233
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.720
the bedding. Email me, Embracer
how much you want? Okay, I'll

234
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.000
see what I can do. Don't
take the piss. Let me have it.

235
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.960
I'm begging you. Yeah, you
gave it to tam, give it

236
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:37.759
to me. Do it anyhow.
It's just it's just under your bed,

237
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:39.840
you know, it's just gathering dust. You put it out and it was

238
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.240
a big success. You'd be like, well that's not enough money, so

239
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.080
just give it to damn. What's
the difference at that point? Let me

240
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.399
have it. I promise you I
will talk really nice about you from this

241
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.360
point on and say, oh,
they were really nice to me. They

242
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.799
gave me the paper that lets me
have the license and the rights to legacy

243
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.720
of Kane. Just just give it
to me. You're not doing anything with

244
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.320
it. It says chump change for
you. I will, I will do

245
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.000
right by it. Please. You
want to play Nights Oldeld Public, just

246
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.080
go play it. Yeah, Like
there's plenty of great mods if you want

247
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.679
some improvements on PC. But you
can play Vanilla on Switch, which I

248
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.039
did recently, plad some of it. Mike played all the way through it,

249
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:22.200
really enjoyed it. It's still a
great game, and that's that exists.

250
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.200
Like you could play that right now, and this game might never exist.

251
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.639
So there you go. Also a
more civilized age. Austin Walker's Star

252
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:34.279
Wars podcast, they're they're playing through
the game right now, and I'm having

253
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.759
some great conversations about it, so
maybe you could play along with them,

254
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.799
and that's a good way to experience
it, all right. Next story,

255
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.240
a new Elder Scrolls game just got
announced out of nowhere. Actually it's it's

256
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.600
out in fact. This comes from
Camera Coo at game Spot. No,

257
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.679
it's not the Elder Scroll six,
but a new game setting Beths. The

258
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.600
game Studios Fantasy Universe did just release
with no warning whatsoever. The Elder Scrolls

259
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.480
Castle Excuming Castles, currently available as
a free download on the Google play Store

260
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:07.799
and listed as being in early access. The Elder Shot It was a little

261
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:12.640
going well until then. The Elder
Scrolls Castles has described as putty players that

262
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.160
control of a medieval dynasty, a
dynasty where they'll oversee a castle of subjects

263
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.359
and family members as the years go
by. The game doesn't yet look to

264
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.400
be available on iOS or PC,
but from what we can tell, wasn't

265
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:27.759
ever even officially announced. One look
at the screenshots brings to mind twenty fifteens

266
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.200
Fallout Shelter, a mobile game revolving
around managing one of the iconic vaults profess.

267
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.519
This popular post apocalyptic RPG series.
It looks like players build their castle

268
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.200
much in the same way it worked
and Fallout Shelter. Another screenshot in bits

269
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:48.799
players to clete epic quest it is
this is completely unrecognizable as Elder scrolls.

270
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.880
Yeah, I'll see if this is
the most we have Elder scrolls at home

271
00:17:53.960 --> 00:18:03.279
Ship I've ever seen. It doesn't
look remotely like there's no identifying aspect of

272
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.039
this game that tells me it's the
Elder Scrolls beyond the Woods, the Eldest

273
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.160
Scrolls. It looks like someone made
a bunch of made at a mobile game

274
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.519
and then just slapped the names the
Elder Scrolls next to it. I'm sure

275
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.240
it's going to be fun and probably
fine, but yeah, yeah, pub

276
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.599
be fine, Like it's it's a
rework of a game from eight years ago

277
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:23.960
at the same time, so how
much fun is it gonna be? Really

278
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:30.480
Like, it's like stuff we've seen
before, bizarre Like I enjoyed Fallout Show

279
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.359
a fair bit when it came out, so my mother checking into something like

280
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.880
that out again. But yeah,
but fall Shelter was in such like a

281
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.960
good position right where it's like,
hey, that comes out six months from

282
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.559
now and tonight at while you're excited
about Fallout four, play Fallout Shelter on

283
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.440
your phone while you're at E three
or whatever you're watching E three. It

284
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.440
was like such a perfect storm working
in favor of that game Fallout show where

285
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:57.160
you, you know, create your
own vault and try and make get off

286
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:03.119
the ground, and it serves an
extend of things that you know what Elder

287
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.440
Scrolls involved making a costle at any
point. Yeah, how much time you

288
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.079
spend it in castles in Elder Scrolls. I don't remember spending much time in

289
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.200
cossos. I shot some falls and
the legs in the face briefly while I

290
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.279
was in a castle one time.
As far as I remember. After that,

291
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.920
my ass is getting out into the
overworld and doing other shit, Like

292
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:23.920
how much I spent a fair amount
of time of castles, but usually just

293
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.799
pickpocketing people and then running away like
that's so, yeah, I got back

294
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:32.640
out in the world after that as
well. It's yeah, I don't know,

295
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.839
I get why they make why this
sort of thing exists, but yeah,

296
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.160
I Fallout Shelter is a very distinct, obvious sort of Hey, that

297
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.319
game makes a lot of sense.
Like Randow Shelter, This feels like how

298
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.000
can we do that with elder Scrolls? And I kind of feel like,

299
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.839
I don't know, this feels like
the least amount of work to make it

300
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:52.880
feel like an older Scrolls game,
where it's like, if you've done a

301
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.960
little bit more, maybe come up
with some other ideas and shifting things around

302
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.359
a little bit more than just reskinning
Fallout Shelter, I would probably be more

303
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.160
excited about it, But this,
I'm like, I can I'll probably be

304
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.759
fine without this game. Frankly,
this looks like Embracer made it. Yeah,

305
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.559
yes, looks it looks that way. And you know, they probably

306
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.039
that mobile team is probably just sitting
the one that did make fall of Shelter

307
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.640
probably just sitting around. They might
as well do something, but I don't.

308
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.839
Yeah, this one's not hitting so
much. I guess I'm I'm on

309
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.000
the Google play Store on the Fallout
Show. The Fallout Show, the ellis

310
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.559
gots castles and it says more by
Bethesda, and there's Mighty Doom next to

311
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:27.599
it. You played watch Mighty Doom. Oh, Mighty Doom is every day,

312
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.240
every morning before I can talk to
my family, got to do my

313
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.799
Mighty Doom daily quests. Is this
actually any good. I have no idea.

314
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.039
I've never played it. It looks
kind of stupid and fun. It's

315
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.240
got the doom slow giant head on
it. Yeah, and I remember seeing

316
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.920
the character mind be like, oh
that's that's fun. I don't know.

317
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.640
I'm just not a phone game guy
really, and you know I've been playing

318
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.400
Professor on my phone. That's what
I see. That guy on Twitter tweeted

319
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.799
out like move over, Nintendo has
a way off mobile gaming is now,

320
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:03.359
and he had an iPhone hook up
to like a fucking cooler which was also

321
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.960
hooked up to a battery pack,
and then like going through two different pass

322
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.559
throughs into a TV and then it
was playing the mobile version of Call of

323
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.319
Duty Water and this dude just got
clowned on left right and sent he was

324
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.920
he was one million. Oh boy, it was so funny. It was

325
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.319
so funny. It was like Cela
and Nintendo and every game it was just

326
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:33.000
like shut up. It reminds me
of that of that Sinco phone from Tim

327
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.839
and Eric, where it's like just
Ed Bagley Junior. It's like it's got

328
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:38.480
one button, it's so simple to
use, and it can't and it can't

329
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.839
can't receive calls it can only make
calls and say, Okay, all right,

330
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:47.519
honey, that's fun I'm gonna try
and find the toy because it's because

331
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.519
it's so funny. I'm gonna try
and find it while you while you carry

332
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:53.440
on. Yep, no problem.
Actually, you know what we're gonna do

333
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.960
real quick because we're gonna take a
quick break. When we get back.

334
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:06.400
We have a lot more news after
this. We're back. We're back.

335
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:07.359
We got a lot more to talk
about. Actually, you know, before

336
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.079
we get into the rest of the
news, Tam, I'm curious. Elder

337
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.680
Scrolls castles out now, you know, the kids are going wild for it.

338
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.319
Moms won't stop talking about it.
Every word on the street is about

339
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:23.079
this game. But it does make
me wonder, you know, how far

340
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.680
away are we from Elder Scrolls and
Fallout and and all this stuff. And

341
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.680
do you think that this is that
games like this are a good way these

342
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:36.240
days of keeping people interested in a
property. No, yeah, I'm with

343
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.359
you on that. I mean,
not this specific case at all, Like

344
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:45.400
there is nothing what is it leveraging, what is what is the what is

345
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.279
this funneling people into? Because there's
nothing new, like you can still probably

346
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.000
a best case scenario is they play
this game, they're like, I like

347
00:22:53.359 --> 00:23:00.920
the idea of this, uh Elder
Scrolls universe that is about in this and

348
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.240
they find Elder Scrolls online, which
is a good game totally. They've been

349
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.119
have been working harder on that game. It's a lot of fun now and

350
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.319
it's got a lot of content.
That's the best case scenario because other than

351
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.279
that, like you're going back to
play Skyrim, maybe where's that Oblivion remake

352
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.359
hasn't popped up yet, so you
know, there's nothing around that. I

353
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.559
don't think there's a good way to
kind of keep people, especially one that

354
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:27.200
looks unrecognizable as an Elder Scrolls game. Like, I don't know what the

355
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:33.160
case is for for I don't think
I like the case or the argument that,

356
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.079
oh, we're putting this out there
so people maintain awareness of the Elder

357
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.720
Scrolls image. This is so far
removed from what Elder Scrolls looks like and

358
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:45.079
plays like that you might as well
just tweet Elder Scrolls from the Thursday account

359
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.000
and it will be more effective.
I think it's right, You're right that

360
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.839
that would actually be more effective.
I don't know, but that the Castle's

361
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.319
games, it's just like it seems
like it's taking it kind of seriously where

362
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:57.519
it's like, well, this needs
to be feel like it could really exist

363
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.599
in the Elder Scrolls world, and
like what if it was a bit sillier

364
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.839
and there was just like you know, dover Kin walking around and all the

365
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.119
bad guys were like you were making
a castle for all the recognizable enemies or

366
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.359
something like that. Dagon, did
you make that up? Or is Doverkin

367
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.440
actually in it? No, I'm
making this up. I like, I

368
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.680
think that would be much better.
Thing, Like here's what you do,

369
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:19.680
like I think they should do.
You make the castle, but it's like

370
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:25.359
a three little pigs, is it
little pigs? It's it's it's it's it's

371
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:30.359
the the huff and puff and blow
three little pigs. Yeah, situation where

372
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.079
you build a castle, but it's
there's a timer and on the timer when

373
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.279
it runs out, dover Kin comes
down and does a fuss roder and it

374
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.720
like if your if your castle is
not properly built, it blows some of

375
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.519
it away. So then you've got
to keep going. And each time,

376
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:47.680
like dover Kin is actually on an
adventure off screen, so each time he

377
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.960
reappears, he's got new shouts and
he's way more powerful, and you're like

378
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:56.400
fuck, And you have to basically
prepare for dover Kin to return each each

379
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.160
night or each week or each month
this to do a to do a one

380
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.039
of his shouts, like specially Bounder
and sim City for the super Yes,

381
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.880
I love that is how you make
it relevant. There you go. Now,

382
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:10.839
now someone looks at that and goes, what's this dover Kin dude?

383
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.559
All about? Google it. You
get that initial trailer for Skyrim with the

384
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.039
I want to play this game,
and you buy Skyrim once again, and

385
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.400
it's just the music kicks in,
but it's like like slowly picks up.

386
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:27.519
It gets closer. Yeah, you're
like, oh no, he said,

387
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.000
I mean he's coming. He's coming. Like you have to quickly like raise

388
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:34.160
the bridge and like send people to
like secure areas and hold the wall and

389
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.559
like reinforced windows, that kind of
stuff. It's gotta be so good.

390
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.119
It's used like the most control the
phones, you like shake your phone to

391
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.279
like distract them and stuff like that. Just all the dumb features I would

392
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.480
I just I just I've not played
this Elder Scrolls Castle game, but I

393
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.880
just made a bad game. Yeah, there were going. That's the first

394
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.880
update right there. Cut the check. But that's that, cut the check.

395
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:56.720
He takes feed for twenty three down
from online stores. Just from Jeffrey

396
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.720
Rossau at Games Industry. That is
like the Guards has delisted FIFA twenty three

397
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:06.839
from all digital storefronts. Users already
owning the digital version of the game FIFA

398
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.640
twenty excuse me, FIVA twenty three
can still play it offline and online.

399
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:14.680
As reported by Ours Technica, the
sunsetting follows the company's trend up delisting its

400
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.559
previous football titles. For example,
digital version of FIFA twenty two was removed

401
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.559
nearly seven months after FIFA twenty three
was released. Meanwhile, FIFA twenty one

402
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.480
was sunset from Steam eight months after
FIFA was launched. However, FIVA twenty

403
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:32.000
three was likely removed due to the
expiration of the EA and FIFA licensing deal.

404
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:34.559
The nearly thirty year partnership came to
an end in May of last year.

405
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.960
Regarding the split, it was reported
that the football organization wanted to double

406
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.599
its licensing cost to more than one
billion dollars for each four year World Cup

407
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:48.319
cycle. Still, EA proceeded to
rebrand and it will be releasing EA Sports

408
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.279
FC twenty four this week. Yeah, this is this does happen. This

409
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.559
one's a little bit quicker than normal. And obviously it has to do with

410
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:57.279
the FIFA name. Right that has
to be right e A. Yeah,

411
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:07.720
that's that's exactly why they're doing it. I I don't give I know,

412
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:10.480
what do we do here. It's
like FIFA's huge. It's like that.

413
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.880
It's like, I guess, I
don't know. Guys, take the change

414
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.440
the name, take it off,
like turn it into a castle game.

415
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.440
Do it. However, I don't
give a shit, man. One thing

416
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.599
is like I don't give a shit
about football soccer. I give less of

417
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:34.200
a shit about football soccer games.
I give like just the intergalactic levels of

418
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.240
not giving a shit. When it
comes to like EA trying to maneuver that

419
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.359
franchise to try and make money off
of it and make it relevant, I

420
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:48.759
would like circumvent license and marketing ideas
and or like a requirements et cetera,

421
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.279
et cetera. They're doing it because, yeah, they change the name,

422
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:56.200
they lost a FIFA license. FIFA
is a awful company and completely imagine,

423
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:59.880
Yeah, FIFA sucks. Incredible.
It's like one of the worst governing bodies

424
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.240
in sports. I don't know much
about football. I stopped watching a long

425
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.160
time ago. The thing that it
maintains like it's it's irrelevance and it's always

426
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.640
there, is that FIFA is straight
booty meat, and like I, it

427
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:17.279
makes perfect sense to me that he
would be afraid that if they have anything

428
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:19.960
out there that has got the name
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic sorry

429
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.759
FIFA on it, they would need
to they need to remove it because the

430
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:29.839
FIFA would come for them because the
money hungry gross company. The good news

431
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:32.680
it's it's it's it's a sports game. So you're gonna be able to find

432
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.119
secondhand copies for the next thirty years, just like falling out of game stop

433
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.759
shelves. So just just wait,
just wait for the next one. I

434
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:42.720
mean, the next one's all coming
out. They'll have changed the color of

435
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:48.400
the soccer pitch otherwise otherwise exactly the
same as the one that ss FIFA on

436
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.440
it. You'll be fine, don't
worry about it. Ed Boone might already

437
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.279
be teasing another Mortal Kombat one DLC
characters from Liam Dulan and Nintendo Life,

438
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.519
following a recent Mortal Kombat one data
mind suggesting the possibility of ghosts Face from

439
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:06.880
the Scream series being added to the
game in the future. Ah Fuck Games

440
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.599
director and co creator Ed budha Is
now posted a rather interesting image on social

441
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.680
media. Listen, Ed, listen, Ed, You've got the opportunity to

442
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:21.039
do something great here. You've got
the opportunity to do something amazing here.

443
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:27.519
Forget all these these horror movie freaks. Get ghost Face, but get ghost

444
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:33.480
Face Killer, okay, slowly,
Like you start with ghost Face Killer and

445
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:41.240
then you move on to method Manza
inspect the deck, like you start getting

446
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.519
each member of the Wou Tang clan, and before you know it, you've

447
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:51.400
stealth created a sequel to Woo Tang
Taste of Pain in the more Combat engine.

448
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:55.720
It's perfect. Okay, I do
want that perfect? Come on,

449
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.319
who's the actually teasing? It seems
like it's teasing ghost Face from Scream.

450
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.079
But listen, that is what Mortal
kom That's what another rum should be doing

451
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:08.279
on the officers instead of this injustice
bullshit, this and this, this Greg

452
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:15.640
Miller nerd ass pile crap. Go
make deaf Jam with the Mortal Kombat license.

453
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.920
Make a ww game with that called
do something, do something cool for

454
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:23.200
once, be an artist, Ed
Boone, Dude, Yeah, you've got

455
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:29.039
the power to revolutionize the fighting game. Well and you're just sitting on it.

456
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.799
You could be making a new deaf
Jam. You could be making a

457
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.799
new version of def Jam that isn't
called deaf Jam because we all know,

458
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.880
Yeah, isn't given up that license. Oh I imagine that deaf Jump's probably

459
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:42.640
got it back now. Or you
could be making that new Taste of Pain

460
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.720
game. There was supposed to be
a There is a Wootang game coming out

461
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:52.440
right development. It's like four lines
for the Yeah that's right, Yeah,

462
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.519
all that's right. There's a studio
of PI primarily people of color working on

463
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.519
a woot tanggam a boot Tang game, which I think is supposed to be,

464
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.559
if I remember correctly, an action
Brosgross brass Lions there it is,

465
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.079
and an action RPG. So I
think it's gonna be like Diablo, where

466
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.000
like each of the members of wooteg
are a different character class. And boy,

467
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:18.240
that sounds fucking awesome to me.
Good, that sounds incredible. I

468
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.839
would I would kill for that.
I would just want to know. I

469
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.440
just really want to know what class
break on the ship, right, I

470
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:33.559
imagine he's a chef, like,
like, they definitely should lean into it

471
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.880
and don't try to like apply traditional
classes to to these guys. They should

472
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.039
be like, no, let's what
what is this guy in the chef?

473
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.319
Yes, and let's do it.
Yeah. Method man is obviously the one

474
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:49.799
who's got like extra abilities to move
and he always can do way more actions

475
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.039
than everyone else because he's the method
man. He's got the strategic you know,

476
00:31:53.160 --> 00:32:00.240
that kind of stuff is just in
a background. Bob, I like

477
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.119
it. Hey, dream dregs rule
everything around me. Uhh, there you

478
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.200
go, everybody, Let's keep moving
along. Here. Scalpers swarm Vango Museum

479
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:14.200
for Pikachu promo card. This is
from Jordan Liller at BGC the launch up

480
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:20.000
the Pokemon Excuse. The launch of
the Pokemon Cross Van Go merchandise collaboration has

481
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.240
led the swarms of scalpers on of
the on the first day of the sale.

482
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.440
The merchandise, which is being launched
to celebrate fifty years of the Fang

483
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:29.680
Museum, will include a statue,
up plush, a toe bag, and

484
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:34.559
more tam Obviously, my question here
is if van Go had known about Pikachu.

485
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:38.640
Would he have cut off his own
ear? Oh what about I feel

486
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:43.119
like he would have? Yeah,
I feel like I feel like you would

487
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:47.079
have. Yeah. Yeah, Here's
what I really need from you. I

488
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:51.079
need to grow up. I need
to grow I was just about say,

489
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.039
you know what, the worst thing
about this is, you know, it's

490
00:32:53.480 --> 00:33:01.799
uh thirty to fifty year old one. It's scalps and Jordan Midler that's over

491
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:07.559
there doing it. Grow up?
Thank you, so fucking grow up and

492
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:13.519
get a grip. This is unbelievable. How are you behaving like this?

493
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:17.680
Leave these leave this kids shit alone? Okay, I just like I don't

494
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.039
actually know how this sort of thing
happens. Like listen, I don't have

495
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.559
a problem with it. It's it
actually just is funny to me, the

496
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:30.519
idea of Pikachu in the style of
right, because because we have actually seen

497
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.599
it, because it's adorable. Yes, it's great, Yes for everybody.

498
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:38.200
If I'm being honest, I would
also try to steal. Yeah. Ye,

499
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:40.559
like I'm gonna get us. I'm
gonna get a bootleg is what I'm

500
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:44.440
gonna do. Let me see if
I can find this thing for everybody.

501
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:47.559
It's very it's it's very cute.
Yeah, absolutely, look at this little

502
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:52.240
guy, all right. The thing
is like the thing that makes it shitty

503
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:58.960
is like it's scalp us and they're
just robbing people who are genuinely like excited

504
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:02.400
about this from the ability to have
it and check it out and experience it

505
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:07.519
or whatever it may be. And
that's the sad part of it. Like

506
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.679
I'm mostly kidding because I still like
Pokemon a lot, you know, and

507
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:15.360
I'm friends with people who are incredibly
into Pokemon. They love it, and

508
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:21.000
that makes me happy. Yeah,
it makes me happy how excited they are

509
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.360
about Pokemon. But one of the
worst parts of the Pokemon world, it's

510
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:29.480
just people who just like a being
pariahs and and like you know, feeding

511
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.599
off the love of this franchise with
But I just like to shit like this,

512
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:37.199
Like I feel like they need to
be anytime there's like some sort of

513
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.000
collaboration like this, that's everyone needs
to take a test. Yeah you can

514
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:45.119
prove it yet you're a Pokemon fan, because what's happening is it's like it's

515
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:50.440
it's an arbitrage where it's like okay, okay, we're gonna let capitalism going

516
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:52.719
fettered. And if we're gonna Yeah, the scoppers are gonna come here,

517
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.079
and then they're gonna sell to the
people who have the most money that they

518
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:58.519
want to spend on it. And
those are the people who want the card

519
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.000
the most, so they deserve it
the most. It's like, ah,

520
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:07.679
this is a game still for kids. Can we maybe actually prioritize them somehow?

521
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:09.679
And I don't know, maybe maybe
there was some way about it,

522
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.159
but that does not seem to be
what happened here in this situation. It's

523
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.000
like, no, you couldn't.
Scalper is going to give it to the

524
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:16.519
people with the most money, and
that's kind of frustrating. Yeah, you

525
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:24.840
can only have it if you bring
some sort of signed from apparent. Yeah

526
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.159
when when I when this, when
this person was young, they were all

527
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.400
about this. Yeah, law,
they will cry if they don't get this

528
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.719
card. Like, if you don't
get the card and you cry about it,

529
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:37.559
then you deserve the card. That's
actually the test and that's what I

530
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:42.840
want to be. A psychological evaluation
is what we need on who's going to

531
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.400
get these things or not? Alright, alright, let's see here. Nintendo

532
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:51.199
revs Up Excitement with Mario Kart eight
Deluxe Booster Course past physical releases from my

533
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.599
Nintendo News. The Nintendo Switch has
its fair share of classic games, but

534
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:58.559
one title that continues to reign supreme
is Mario Kart eight Deluxe. Well,

535
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:00.320
not a new game by any means, it's an enhanced version of Mario Kart

536
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:04.920
eight originally released on the Weiu.
Despite its age, Mario Kart eight Deluxe

537
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.519
remains incredibly popular among Nintendo Switch players. As the Switches life cycle progressed,

538
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:10.159
some fans began to crave a new
installment in the Mario Kart series, and

539
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:15.599
Nintendo said, fuck you buy this
again, and then they started putting out

540
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:20.760
the booster courses as DLC to quell
some of that demand. Now you can

541
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:24.119
get these booster courses physically as basically
a download code. They're gonna sell in

542
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:27.639
stores with a bunch of like stickers
and all this other stuff. And my

543
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.480
question you, Tim, is is
this going to be the second best selling

544
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:36.400
game ever after Mario Kart eight Deluxe? Yes? Probably, But then again,

545
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:40.360
like, doesn't everyone in the world
own Mario at this point? It

546
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:44.079
seems like, but the ship's still
on the fucking top ten every day every

547
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:45.119
month. I know a lot of
that it's like it's probably bundled, but

548
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.920
I don't think MPD bounce bundled games
in their sales. They never had in

549
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.599
the past. Maybe they've changed that, but but it's like and it's that

550
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.039
game is still in the top ten
on the MPD Sircana whatever. We're gonna

551
00:36:55.119 --> 00:37:00.159
we're gonna learn at some point that
like there's some sort of like hospital or

552
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.920
out there that where every child is
when they're pawn, like they purchase a

553
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.360
Mario Mario cart game and just hand
it to the parent immediately. And that's

554
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:12.639
that's why this is happening, because
it's like Mario cart sales are directly in

555
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:17.800
correlation and parallel to birthrates and death
rates because when they die, people die,

556
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:25.960
they have their car take you across
the river sticks exactly. They check

557
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:32.599
they check your progressive. Yeah.
It's like, this is why we told

558
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:36.159
them not to look him. You
go up home? Yeah, yeah,

559
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.840
come on, uh, let's see. It's coming October six. This release

560
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:42.280
proceeds to the launch of the final
set of courses for the game, which

561
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:45.719
are coming out soon. One notable
aspect. They said the physical release will

562
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.800
include a physical game card. Instead, players will find a download code voucher

563
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.320
inside the box. This voucher will
allow players to access and download the new

564
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:57.039
courses directly to their game. While
the absence of a physical game may disappoint

565
00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:00.400
some, Nintendo is sweetening the deal
with some extra goodies. The box set

566
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.760
will include stickers, pen badges,
and themed art cards. So basically the

567
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:07.599
bullshit that my kids getting happy meals
these days, and they like these cards

568
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.079
that they just throw out the box. We know some fucking digg and Scalp

569
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:20.559
is gonna be there cars selling him
online. It's gonna be Paul Paulding selling

570
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:25.559
these things to kids. I have
a question for you, Next Mario Car?

571
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:31.800
Right, yeah, do you think
so Suckera has basically said I'm done

572
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.400
with Smash right, Like he says
that every every time he does it,

573
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:37.880
but like he's also said it now
there's a decent change that he's done with

574
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:44.480
Smash after the success of Ultimate.
Do you think Nintendo goes full smash with

575
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:49.159
the next Mario Car and starts bringing
in like hair is Joker from Persona three

576
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:53.400
in a Car, Hair is all
of these character here's Cratos, So whoever

577
00:38:53.440 --> 00:39:00.159
it may be, all of these
turn the everyone is hair approach to to

578
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:04.719
Mario or use that for Mario Cart. Do you think so? I think

579
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:07.119
that they definitely, uh, they
lean in that direction. I don't know

580
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.280
how. I don't know if they
go so far as to be like,

581
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:13.639
hey, if Sony wants us to
have Crados or if like Joker, Like

582
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:15.039
I don't think Joker will be in
it, like something like that. Along

583
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.480
goes Life, they stop, I
mean, like they stopped bringing in Life.

584
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.719
But I think other Nintendo characters will
be in there. I think that's

585
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:25.840
I think they might go for you
are probably right, But in my head,

586
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:28.880
I'm like, oh, I've always
used this next one as like it

587
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.320
will be full on Nintendo Kart,
still Cart, Mario Kart, fucking colon.

588
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:34.719
Everyone is here. But I think
it'll be like, oh yeah,

589
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.480
definitely, like the Animal Crossing person's
here, but so is Sammis and stuff

590
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:45.199
like that. I think they probably
Smash Smash Yeah, but and then they

591
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:50.480
put amibos that are just all these
characters in carts and sell them. Okay,

592
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:52.079
okay, no, you got me. Because that they're they're through.

593
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:57.000
They're they're pretty much done with all
the Smash characters. Now that's the last

594
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.440
one. God, which was a
fucking what's the name from Kingdom Hearts?

595
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:02.119
Uh so whine that start over with
them in carts? Oh my god,

596
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:05.480
damn, you're right. Yeah,
you put them in carts, like you

597
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:09.760
reuse that like manufacturing pipeline and chain
and design, and like you put everyone

598
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:14.000
in those characters in a cart and
then you sell them and then in the

599
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:19.320
game. Come on, I'm just
giving away from good ideas. Check cut

600
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:22.199
check. Yeah. Yeah. Like
if they're like partner up with Hot Wheels

601
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.840
or whatever and they like can go
on a Hot Wheels track, you go,

602
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:29.360
yeah, man, I would probably
get some of that ship. I

603
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:31.559
would probably buy some of that garbage. Like give I just I just want

604
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:36.239
to see a game in which Sefirof
is in a cart and his sword extends

605
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:39.719
the entire life of the track,
so you can get the worst fucking toy.

606
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:45.880
Everything's caught on everything. You can't
you can't get paste because he's got

607
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.480
his giant sword and like you can't
use any items on him because he's constantly

608
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.400
swinging that poking their eyes at It's
like the biggest recall in the history of

609
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:58.960
the toys. Teenage Go characters are
being stabbed left right, crazy. I

610
00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:04.039
want him and more grow up news. So hold on, yeah please.

611
00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:08.119
I just looked at the chat and
some winds ship type the one wheeled angels

612
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:15.320
had one wheel, which is hilarious
because it implies that he's going to be

613
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:20.199
writing a unicycle. Fuck. Okay, holy shit, that just like the

614
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:22.559
image popped in my head. Him
really got me. Oh man, that's

615
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:27.719
incredible. Thanks for your help,
Chat, We appreciate you. We got

Blockchain Business SIM releases next month. Bars

620
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:52.000
Pier, Peter, you've done a
lot for this industry. Here we go.

621
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:57.719
I respect you. The impact and
the contribution that you've had on this

622
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:04.159
industry cannot be under sold. Your
your career. I mean like you've got

623
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:07.760
OBEs, You've worked on Populist,
dungeon Keeper, Black and White, theme

624
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:16.800
Park, Fable Goddess. You've done
incredible work. Fucking stop it, just

625
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:21.960
leave it. Just don't do it, Okay, Like you'll remembered as a

626
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:24.960
legend. Don't start this blockchain ship, because let me tell you, the

627
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.159
Internet is rough. They all turn
on you very quickly, and before you

628
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:31.400
know it, you won't be remembered
as the fable populist guy. You'll be

629
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:37.840
remembered as the blockchain guy. Back
away slowly, my man, do it?

630
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:39.320
I think he's in too deep to
him. I gather read this.

631
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:43.800
This is from Chris going at BGC. The latest game from pop Peter Malwanu,

632
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:45.239
the creator of Populous, Fable and
Black and White, is to be

633
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:50.199
released next month. Legacy is described
as that's the name of the game.

634
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:52.559
It's described as a and s going
and put this in quotes to show that

635
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:55.440
it wasn't him. Are we just
go down? All be good? Remember

636
00:42:55.480 --> 00:43:00.320
the moment player just die? Okay, We're good. Legacy is to described

637
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:06.280
as a and this is in quotes
highly anticipated Web three business simulation game based

638
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:09.559
on blockchain technology. They said that
about their own game. It's a highly

639
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:15.760
anticipated Web three business simulation game.
Hey him, is there any the simulation

640
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:17.599
game that's highly anticipated, let alone
a fucking Web three one? No,

641
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:23.360
the only good business game simulation games
game Dove story and it's done. It

642
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:28.039
tells you a lot that Pete Mall
and you known for being just like the

643
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:31.559
most of the bost salesman of his
own products just nowhere to be seen.

644
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:37.239
Insane shit like tells you a lot
Grandpa is grifted. That is what is

645
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:40.960
happening right now, Like fucking stop
it and it what it reads like to

646
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:45.199
be is so yeah. According to
Blockchain Game, publisher of Gala Games,

647
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:47.760
ownership and creativity takes center stage as
you get the chance to build and manage

648
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.239
your business on your very own land. You know. This reminds me of

649
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:57.039
like when when n Asner was kind
of older and clearly had some like manager

650
00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:59.800
on a social media account, and
every time I would like at Asner,

651
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:01.800
that manager would a DM me and
be like, hey were you at that

652
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:05.559
poker game with me that once time? Pretending to be at Asner. I'm

653
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:07.280
like, oh, you are taking
advantage of an old man. That's what

654
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.639
this feels like. What's happening here, So it's I hate Peter Maloney.

655
00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:14.480
Can you come attach your name to
our horse shit and like give it some

656
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:20.639
credibility? I guessed, And all
it's doing is further destroying Peter Malonew's credibility

657
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:25.719
here because I don't need your ownership
and creativity taking center stage. Players will

658
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:30.880
own pieces of land as well as
legacy deed keys that correspond to how rare

659
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.079
their land is. Deed keys allow
the land only players to empower partners,

660
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:39.960
free to play players to win real
rewards. This fucking idea that gamers want

661
00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:46.239
to be fucking landlords as like this
dream scenario was always poisonous and I at

662
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:49.760
this point, I thought we were
so far past this that everyone knew it.

663
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:52.280
The idea that they're still trying to
make it happen, that someone out

664
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:55.000
there's like, no, this is
it is fucking embarrassing. I gotta say

665
00:44:55.039 --> 00:45:00.320
it. Damn, grow up,
grow up. Uh, you've already grown

666
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:06.559
up a law. If you grow
up anymore, there's danger of various things

667
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:08.840
happening. You should be careful about
people telling you to grow up, and

668
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:12.800
you should probably stop doing things that
invite people to tell you to grow up.

669
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:16.320
Oh boy, all right, let's
good luck, Peter, good luck.

670
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:21.440
Remedy says it's max pain remakes are
a big, big project. This

671
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:24.280
comes from Chris Colling and VGC as
well. Remedy's creative director has shed more

672
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:28.840
light on the upcoming remakes of Max
Pain and Max Pain two. In an

673
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:31.360
interview with VGC, we asked Sam
Lake about the remix and how Remedy's initial

674
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:36.719
announcement suggested it was going to be
a significant undertaking. Lake replied that the

675
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:39.559
project is indeed a large one with
a lot of work involved. It's a

676
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:44.000
significant undertaking in the sense that even
if they are old games, just thinking

677
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.079
about them bringing just thinking about bringing
them up to modern standards and combining them

678
00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:50.800
into one, you could see that
it's a big, big project, he

679
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:53.480
explained. Upon being asked if he
would be reprising his role as Max from

680
00:45:53.480 --> 00:45:58.079
the first game, Lake laughed,
no comment. He replied, that's going

681
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:02.320
too far. Gotta love Sam.
Love Sam Lake. I just he knows.

682
00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:06.760
He is a good showman. He's
good at like knowing what to say

683
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:09.920
and whatnot to say. I'm excited
about this. I've only dabbled in Max

684
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:13.360
Pain games, and I'm like kind
of think I still want to go back

685
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:15.880
and play the old ones even before
this, but I definitely will be playing

686
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:19.199
this. I am ready for some
Max Pain in my life. I would

687
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.880
recommend going back and playing because they
are very weird. I think Max Pain

688
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:28.639
two is definitely on I think one
and two might be on Steam and work

689
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:34.199
on the deck, I believe because
I definitely downloaded either way. Yeah,

690
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:38.679
they are very weird, They're very
tricky to play right now. They are

691
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:45.280
not the most enjoyable gameplay experience,
but there's enough there to like for as

692
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:49.800
a kind of like a educational kind
of look back at the games that Remedy

693
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:52.440
has made. I think it's still
fascinating stylistically, is still very cool.

694
00:46:52.840 --> 00:47:00.760
It does the like schlocky pulp detective
kind of vibe exceptionally well. Still from

695
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:04.519
the very outset of Max Pain one, when the vo kicks in, you're

696
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:07.639
just like, oh, I see
what you're doing here, and I like

697
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:12.400
it. So yeah, I followed
Max Pain which is two. I believe

698
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.280
it's also very very good. Max
Pain three is a lot of people really

699
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:20.280
love that game. I never gone
with it for some reason. The stadium

700
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:22.719
with the snipers constantly shoot me in
my ass and I don't know where they

701
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.039
are, Like that was a big
pain in my ass for a long time.

702
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:30.159
But Max Pain three is also a
lot of fun. It's got that

703
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:36.840
track from Health in it, and
it's a banger pain games. I'll finally,

704
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:39.679
way to make that happen. That
sounds like a lot of fun real

705
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:45.719
quick. Some other vang Pokemon paintings
have come out, just any ganga.

706
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:50.119
I don't think gangar, but I
see snore Lax, I see Evy,

707
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.079
I see some other bullshit. It
all looks very cute. It's all very

708
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:59.880
good. I hope, I hope
like the Van Good Museum didn't use AI

709
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.639
for this. I think they probably
wouldn't, but who knows. I'm like

710
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:07.599
kind of a little bit concerned,
maybe, but I bet that's confirmed somewhere.

711
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:09.159
You know what, It's not gonna
matter for kids. They would They

712
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:14.679
don't care, all right, So
let's see here a couple more stories permits

713
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:16.199
you software sales for the last week. Really, I just wanted to point

714
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:22.400
out that finally something has beat Pickman
for something. Pickman, your day is

715
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:24.880
numbered. You were no longer number
one in the Japanese physical sales charts,

716
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:29.480
infect you probably never get back on
top. Oh wait, fuck Pickman one

717
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.639
and two is the only game that
beat it. That's Pigment is fucking owning

718
00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:37.360
Japan, and I couldn't be happier. Yeah, just's I love that full

719
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.960
pickmenty too, it's like it's taken
over one country. You go outside of

720
00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:44.239
that country and people are like,
well, yeah, exactly. I mean,

721
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:45.760
listen, it's doing better than it
has in the past in the United

722
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:49.480
States, but you're it's nothing like
it is in Japan, where it has

723
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:52.840
blown up in popularity almost kind of
like splits you, like, it's sprising.

724
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:55.480
Pickman one plus two obviously, be
like, didn't already come out.

725
00:48:55.599 --> 00:48:59.559
That came out digitally. This is
the physical release, which it just came

726
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:02.920
out. I think it's out here
now physically as well. It's sold about

727
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:07.039
twenty four thousand copies. Pittman four
sold twenty three thousand copies. And it's

728
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:10.480
like whatever week it is that gave
us now at eight hundred and sixty five

729
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:17.039
thousand copies just physical sold in Japan, that continues to be incredible. That

730
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:20.639
thing is going to probably get to
a million in the next couple of years

731
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:25.760
in Japan alone and physical alone.
All right, let's see here. Last

732
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:30.719
story SAG after talks with game companies, failed to reach an agreement. That

733
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:35.400
comes from James Bachelor at Games Industry
Dot is schedule talks between SAG Aftra,

734
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:39.719
which represents a video game voice actors
and ten video game companies have failed to

735
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:44.239
reach an agreement about the rights of
voice actors and performers. The union has

736
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:47.559
been talking to major publishers and developers
such as Activision, EA, Epic Games,

737
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:52.000
Take Two, Insomniac, and Warner
Brothers about a potential successor to the

738
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:55.239
Interactive Media Agreement, which was due
to expire last year. The expiration was

739
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:59.800
extended while discussions took place, but
these have not been successful so far.

740
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.159
Sag AFTER in video game employers could
concluded schedule negotiations for the Interactive Media Agreement.

741
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:08.360
The union told Games Industry Business Statement
no deal was reached and the current

742
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:12.599
agreement will remain in effect while the
parties make final efforts to reach a deal.

743
00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:17.760
Uh sag AFTER has the members of
sag AFTER the union have authorized a

744
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:22.639
strike against game publishers. That strike
has not been enacted yet, it's just

745
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:27.039
authorized. So that is one of
the one of the bargaining ships that the

746
00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:29.480
union has is to say, hey, that we can do this at any

747
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:32.320
moment, and publishers have to recognize
that. And the unions have been winning.

748
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:35.639
They are on a winning streement right
now. We just saw that with

749
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:38.599
the WGA the writer strike, so
publishers are gonna have to take that seriously.

750
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:43.119
But I don't know. I always
get the sense that publishers are like,

751
00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:45.039
week in week, how many munch
do we really need voice actors?

752
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:49.320
That sort of thing, and they
say that about anybody, So I don't

753
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:51.360
know, what what what do you
think it's going to be the end result

754
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:52.360
here? Do you think voice actors
are going to be able to get a

755
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:55.440
carve out a little bit more for
themselves? I hope so. Like I

756
00:50:55.840 --> 00:51:00.079
at the very least, the recent
union actions have to be very careful what

757
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:13.159
I say about unions, because sure
my visa is a When I was in

758
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:16.920
the UK and worked for the Underground
London Underground, I was part of a

759
00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:21.920
union. I am not currently part
of a union, but I was at

760
00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:24.920
one point. And my favorite thing
about being in a union when I was

761
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:31.360
in the UK and working in an
unrelated industry and living in London was the

762
00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:37.800
empowerment it gave other people in other
unions to see, you know, people

763
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:43.599
who are equivalent to them or in
the same field getting what they deserve,

764
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:47.719
fighting for it and winning. They
suspect that in a situation where a major

765
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:54.880
union wins a battle against a series
of studios. Other people who work in

766
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:59.760
the similar industry's crea of arts will
be emboldened to do the same. That

767
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:01.800
is one of the great powers of
a union. And for those who are

768
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:07.119
in the union, it's something that
I hope, it's something that I believe

769
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.920
we'll have a knock on effect for
those in a union. I'm not in

770
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:15.440
a union. No, no,
no, Hey, people think Tim I

771
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:19.920
be insensitive, go read j.
Robert Oberheimer's The American Prometheus. Like that

772
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:22.679
book will tell you all about what
this might be a problem. So yeah,

773
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.239
I'm old. Yeah, oh,
you pull my collar a little bit.

774
00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:29.639
All right, let's see here.
Let's get to the poll. Actually,

775
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:34.440
we got one from yesterday up here
somewhere there we go. H In

776
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:37.000
fact, Tim, let's get your
response. Great. Jim Ryan's run is

777
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:38.440
the head of PlayStation. I gave
him an A. I think he deserves

778
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:40.760
it. Yeah, he had some
gaps, but I gave him an A

779
00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:44.199
because he made a lot of money
from PlayStation And how else do you grade

780
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:46.599
this guy? Yeah, I give
him. Here's the thing, right,

781
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:51.960
I think he deserves an A just
for putting up with ship from Gameless exactly.

782
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.039
Yes, for all those years,
like people putting up with me.

783
00:52:54.920 --> 00:52:59.599
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I
mean, like I'm not, like I

784
00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:02.400
say, I'm not a pro corporation
person. You know, I'm not.

785
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:07.599
I'm not bad here to kiss Jim
Rand's ass, but like I know it's

786
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:09.599
like to be or I've seen what
it's like to be a CEO of a

787
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:15.280
major video game company and have people
just on your ass all the time about

788
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:21.840
things that they just don't understand.
So and like he's he's like from all

789
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:24.840
reports, people just say that he's
a nice guy. Like he might not

790
00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:30.519
be great on in front of on
camera and he might say some goose and

791
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:34.199
guests when a microphone is from him, but who has who else? Who's

792
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:38.320
who's like impervious to that, And
like from everyone that speaks about him,

793
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:42.880
they say that he's a good guy. And he helped like get a lot

794
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:46.079
of initiatives that we love off the
ground. He obviously was there when some

795
00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:50.079
rough stuff happened as well, and
stuff that we may not have worked,

796
00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:55.440
but there's a bunch of games that
probably wouldn't have existed that we love without

797
00:53:55.599 --> 00:54:00.239
him. So you know anything,
he made the competition better as well because

798
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:05.280
he put a lot of pressure on
especially Microsoft as the Nintendo to show up

799
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:07.760
and make some moves, and they
had to because of because he was kind

800
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:12.039
of ruthless in a way. That's
like that is also fair because he was

801
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:15.440
exploiting what Sony was really good at. Yeah, I believe someone said like

802
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:21.840
he, by his own admission,
isn't a hardcore gamer. Like, but

803
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:27.679
he is someone that cared about PlayStation
and wanted to do right by the company

804
00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:30.400
and the people who play their games, which is as much as you can

805
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:35.440
ask for from a person. He's
probably fine, he's leaving, he's retiring.

806
00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:40.320
Probably he's probably filthy rich, like
it's comfortable, like whatever. I

807
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:44.639
don't really care. But like,
I give him an A. He survived

808
00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:49.920
the game Goldlet yep, I'm right
there with you. Let's see the results

809
00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:52.360
are. Nine percent gave him an
A, twenty six percent gave him a

810
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:55.599
B, forty percent gave him a
C, sixteen percent gave him a D,

811
00:54:55.719 --> 00:54:59.599
and nine percent gave him an F. I'll give him an A for

812
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:01.440
running PlayStation. In terms of his
RIZ, I'll give him a NF.

813
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:05.239
He's got ANOUGH for RIZ and that's
just that's okay. He's allowed to be

814
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:08.320
risless. I mean he's he's when
it comes to gaming executive, he's got

815
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:15.920
anti risk ye like he's Yeah,
he's sadly but like sometimes you just there's

816
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.559
no choice. Yeah, what can
you do? You've got the anti Ris

817
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:23.159
gene and you The impressive thing about
him is he he has the anti regime.

818
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:27.719
Don't worry, I had to run
button. We're good, We're good,

819
00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:30.079
We're good. Yes, keep going
to him. He's got the anti

820
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:32.800
Ris gene. So it's impressive how
far he's made it. Yes, exactly,

821
00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:37.280
exactly. That makes the most head
of PlayStation, which makes it should

822
00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:42.599
be like to those out out there, and I know we're out there.

823
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:45.239
You know that when you've got anti
rist like, it's still possible to be

824
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:50.239
successful. That's right. He's an
inter is an example. Yes, I

825
00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:52.239
think so. All right, I
got I got a new pole. It's

826
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.000
gonna be going up sooner. While
we're doing that, Tam, do you

827
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:58.440

856
00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:07.360

857
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:12.559
gonna play Whispers in the West,
a cooperative murder mystery game setting the Old

858
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:15.719
Wild West on Steam. Uh.
We're gonna see how that goes. I

859
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:19.039
have no idea, but looking forward
to that. If it, if it

860
00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:21.559
goes bad, maybe we'll just play
Wingspan instead and tam and come in there

861
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:23.480
and teach me how to play.
So looking forward to that. Uh.

862
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:29.320
Other than that we'll talk about the
results to pull on Monday on Giant Bomb.

863
00:58:29.400 --> 00:58:31.199
Tam, thank you so much for
speaking with me about video games today.

00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:36.159
I really appreciate it. I am
always happy to be here on DRAGS

865
00:58:36.199 --> 00:58:38.880
day because it means that we can
goof off and gaff off. I'm sorry

866
00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:45.840
if anything that we goofed and gaffed
about this week, this this episode upset

867
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:47.920
you, It's just we're just kidding. Peter, make make old, the

NFT, do what you gotta do, get games, do what you need

869
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:55.039
to do. Man, just still

870
00:58:55.239 --> 00:58:59.760
don't worry about it. Yeah,
maybe grow up, Embraca now you can

871
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:05.239
