WEBVTT 1 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.600 Welcome everyone to the first episode of Game Spot after Dark of twenty twenty four. 2 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.520 Is that correct? Or do I just lie there? I have no 3 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.560 idea. How was out last? No, you think we did one two 4 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.359 weeks ago. Welcome everyone to the second episode of Game Spot after Dark of 5 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.119 twenty twenty four. Potentially, I am your host tomorrow, saying, joined 6 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.520 as always by the Podfather Jake Decker. We're going to read your email on 7 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.840 inail oh ship. My email is visible. I should probably not have that. 8 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.520 It's not live though it doesn't. Yeah, it's only visible to my 9 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.879 colleagues, who definitely should not be able to see this stuff. And what's 10 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:10.040 going by Lucy James? Hi? Can I can I have a cool name 11 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:17.280 like Podfather? I'm going to regret asking. I don't have a cool name 12 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.519 for you. I just call you Jams, which is a cool name. 13 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:25.640 I mean Jen and Greg my old roommates called me horse legs. Horse Legs 14 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.599 is not a good I know that I need something better. Where did that 15 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.519 name come from? My niece legs? My knees been backwards, Jake, 16 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.000 Sorry, it's good. I believe you. No, No, I don't 17 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.079 need to see I'll never get I'll never get used to seeing that. That's 18 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.079 not that weird. I expected more. Oh yeah, no, I mean 19 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:51.200 I'm in my thirties now I'm an old woman. Yeah. Uh. We 20 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.840 have been doing not a lot, so this is going to be an interesting 21 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.359 podcast. Stuff has happened, thankfully. I hate to be and I'll talk 22 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.079 about it yet. But I've been poopsuck in again. Yeah, I mean 23 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.159 it's same. I've been poopsucking games that we can't talk about right now, 24 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.840 but we will be able to talk about hopefully soon. But in the meantime, 25 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.360 there are games that have come out and things that we've done that we 26 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.240 can talk about. We can also briefly touch on the Xbox stuff, which 27 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.879 just happened for us in particular. I just kind of want to focus on 28 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.439 Indiana Jones because we've finally seen it. What do you guys think about it? 29 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.840 I have a lot of mixed feelings. Well, i'd say general fandom 30 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.000 level of Indiana Jones. I love Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones is Raiges The 31 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.080 Lost Ark, I think is the best movie ever made. I was very 32 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.439 excited for this project, mostly because of Machine games, and I'm still excited 33 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.360 for this project. Because it's machine games. I have high hopes for this 34 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.719 story because it's machine game. Because it's machine games, gameplay seems more like 35 00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.319 an immersive sim that I expected, which is kind of cool. I think 36 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.800 that's a good way to play it for Niana Jones, because you can't really 37 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.719 make like a Wolf and Stein, like with Indiana Jones, that'd be too 38 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:10.719 much, so I'm super curious. I think visually it looked a little strange. 39 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.400 I don't know, it just looked off, And then hearing Troy Baker's 40 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.599 Indiana Jones also felt a little off. There were times when like, Troy 41 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.680 is clearly very talented, but I don't know if it's us because we're so 42 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.479 familiar with his voice. I Troy Baker, but I could also hear the 43 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.199 Harrison Ford in it, and I was like, Okay, I can't tell 44 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.520 if there's me that I just know his voice that well. I think Normans 45 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.960 won't know it. No, it's it's Harrison Ford. I bet people will. 46 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.719 Yeah, they won't hear Troy Baker, though Norman's probably won't hear Tree 47 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.919 Baker. That's the thing. I mean. I've I remember spoiling a twist 48 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.960 in a game. Yeah, because I recognized Troy's voice and that is not 49 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.439 on him. That is because I just play a lot of games that he 50 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.919 is in, and I just I just recognize him. But I will say 51 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.319 one thing I'm really glad about is with all the shit about AI voices, 52 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.800 I'm really glad that they just didn't Yeah, garble, yeah, garble Harrison. 53 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.439 Because I also, I mean, this is my broader bugbear is that 54 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.719 I hate the Hollywood de aging trend. Oh yeah, yeah, And I 55 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.160 and I kind of long for a time when you would just get a younger 56 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.600 person who kind of looked like Harrison Ford, say Olden Aaron Reich who literally 57 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:24.000 played him in a whole movie. But now Disney you'll just dage him in 58 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:29.079 the Indian Jones whatever. And so I don't mind sounderlikes Hey, it's how 59 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.480 Tom Hanks's brother gets a ton of work. He's his voice standing for wood 60 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.399 and everything. Yeah. Yeah, my favorite thing. Do you ever see 61 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.759 that Graham Norton clip where Tom Hanks is talking about it and he's just like, 62 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.560 yeah, I don't know what projects he's on. He could be on 63 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.920 cameo. So yeah. And also, as someone who is not particularly married 64 00:04:50.920 --> 00:05:00.720 to Indiana Jones watched the Wish I was but like that whip anyway, as 65 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.040 someone who's not particularly married to Indiana Joe's like, I watched them when I 66 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.279 was a kid, and I do want to go back and rewatch them. 67 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.680 I still think you can skip some. I know, I want to watch 68 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.079 the three. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. One and three 69 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.519 very good. Two. It has its defenders. I guess which one is 70 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.240 to again Temple of Doom. Which one? Oh is that short round? 71 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.639 That's short round? That's the highly problematic one. Yeah, that's the thing 72 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.600 I couldn't even tell you. I know. The one is is Raiders of 73 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.240 the Last Ark, the one with the little cup, No, that's uh 74 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:40.839 Jones and the little last Crusade that makes way most they drink. Is that 75 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.279 is that the Nazis that one? I mean all of them? Well, 76 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.160 the second one not really. I guess this is why I get Which one 77 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.959 is a monkey Shila buff? That one's the crystal Skulls. I watched that 78 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.360 one was not Yeah, I don't see that one schla buff in this game. 79 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.079 No, So I'm not particularly a huge Indiana Jones fan, unlike our 80 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:09.480 colleague Adam Mason, who has had an Indiana Jones phone cover phone cover since 81 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.839 maybe twenty fourteen, but it's like printed on like Zazzl's God Bless Him. 82 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.519 I imagine that it wasn't printed like properly, so it just says Indian Jones, 83 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:24.399 Indian Joan and the a's on like the edge of it, see Indian 84 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.399 like Indian Jones. So I don't, Yeah, I think to Jake's point, 85 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:35.199 the thing I'm most excited about is machine games. I loved Wolfenstein the 86 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.680 remix, did not really care for the co Op one new Blood young Blood 87 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.279 new Blood Blood. I didn't play it. But that is the other part 88 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.639 of this conversation where I'm still waiting for Wolfenstein three, waiting a long time, 89 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.680 I know, and I don't think it's gonna happen now, But man, 90 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.680 the way two ended, oh god, that was so good. It 91 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.839 could have been more, And like I still think that, man Wolfenstein like 92 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.040 machine games. Wolfenstein games are immac They're great, they're fantastic, and not 93 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.199 getting a third one bums me out. But I guess it's for Indiana Jones, 94 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.800 which I'm happy with because I love Indiana Jones. But at the same 95 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.279 time, I'm just like I could have done. I could have done one 96 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.800 more wolf AND's done. Maybe maybe that'll be their next thing. Visually, 97 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.839 it did look like because you mentioned that it looked a bit rough at times, 98 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.879 it very much seemed like, Hey, we're gonna be putting your game 99 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.160 in this showcase, whether you like it or not, So give us a 100 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.279 bit that looks okay. Yeah, And if I don't, I am confident 101 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.079 in that it's gonna look considerably better than that when it comes out. As 102 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.759 far as I know, it's like it should be looking better considering it's out 103 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.720 this year, but who knows what passed the visual past or on or whatever 104 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.360 it maybe, but even then, it looks okay. Like the I like 105 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.639 the way the villain looked, I think like Harrison's Harrison's Ford. Harrison Ford's 106 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:54.399 face was a bit weird where I was like, is this what's going on? 107 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.199 I think it's Kenny val No. I think I looked at it and 108 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.439 I was like, he looks looks like his face isn't textured properly or or 109 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.360 whatever it may be. Maybe just I'm used to like super high details, 110 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.800 but the villain looked really good by comparison, I was like, okay, 111 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.959 cool. So they clearly have some work left to do visually, but I'm 112 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.879 excited for where it could be. I don't care about Indiana Jones one bit, 113 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.319 but if they're gonna make a kind of immersive sim with their IP, 114 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.240 I'm definitely interested in that. And like you said, it's machine games, 115 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.680 and they just make great games, so I'm sure they'll figure out a way 116 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.959 to make it interesting and fun for people who don't really care about Indiana Jones 117 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.679 as well. I think the thing that I'm most excited about is the puzzle 118 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.759 solving aspect of it. They're my favorite parts of tomb Raider of Uncharted. 119 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.639 I, as a child, really wanted to be I watched The Mummy Man. 120 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.080 I wanted to make a Mummy game. I would kill Why I would. 121 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.720 I would rather wipe Indiana Jones out of existence and get the Mummy for 122 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.679 them. I would do that. Rick O'Connell is better. I haven't played 123 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:03.200 that one that came up, but I would love a third person action game. 124 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.559 They've made one years ago. No, was it based on the Mummy 125 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.720 animated series? Because that I think it was based on the second movie maybe, 126 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.440 and it was not good. I played it a friend's house once, 127 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.399 and we even at that age, we were both like, yeah, this 128 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.279 sucks, but no, I love the puzzle solving aspect of it tickles my 129 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.879 brain in a very particular way because I love history, love learning about Dude, 130 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.279 if you don't listen to the Fall of Civilizations podcast, I'm missing out. 131 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.840 If you want to learn the real history of Emo TEP, you listen 132 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.360 to that podcast. They haven't put out an episode since like April last year, 133 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.879 but it's because every episode is like three hours long with custom voice acting 134 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.919 and music and everything, and I'm yeah, they also put them on YouTube. 135 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.120 They're great. Yeah, anyway, that's what I'm most excited about. 136 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.120 The whip stuff looks cool, but you know, I will There was that 137 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.799 one bit where they showed the like the wire frame of the whips so funny, 138 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.120 look like he was like throwing a snake at wa. I yeah. 139 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:11.039 And whoever edited that trailer and timed the punches, great job, great job. 140 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.960 It looks it looks cool. I'm a little more excited about it than 141 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.600 I was. Yeah, I'm surprised it's coming out this year, supposedly said, 142 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.279 I mean, I think this is going to don't make me eat my 143 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.360 words, Phil Spencer. But this could be a really great year for Xbox. 144 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.879 You know, there have been so many years of Xbox new games you 145 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.399 bought. All those studios need to do anything with every game they should out 146 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.000 this year, right, Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool, very exciting 147 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:43.200 time to be an Xbox fan or PC gamer like me gamer. Yeah, 148 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.440 I liked a lot of what I saw there. There were some other games 149 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.879 in the showcase as well, or the Dev Dev Showcase. I guess we've 150 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.840 got a nice look at hell Blade, which is also out this year. 151 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.080 Lonely Digit only interesting fifty is the last one. Yeah, I mean like 152 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.120 everyone got hyper mad at a remedy for that and it's like, how do 153 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.759 you like their maples? Like, but I'm very very excited for that game. 154 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.519 Ninja Theory is one of my favorite studios, slightly biased because they are 155 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.200 British, you know, hanging out in Cambridge, and you know they made 156 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.759 some of my favorite games of all time. Also shout out to x Games 157 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.039 for employee Bill Potter. Billot appeared in that video. Yeah he was there 158 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.440 hanging around here. But yeah, that that game looks really interesting, like 159 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.879 they they the original hell Blade is still something that no one else has tried 160 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.960 to emulate. It's it's entirely its own the things that it goes for. 161 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.919 Obviously they have Norse mythology and kind of character action combat, but they're one 162 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.320 of the few studios that I've taken a lot of those familiar ideas and made 163 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.279 it completely their own in a way that no one else is even trying or 164 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.039 can do it in that way. So it's very very exciting that they took 165 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.720 a and that game was obviously the story of that game was like they built 166 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.559 that on a shoe string budget and they very much like maguivered equipment together to 167 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:11.600 do it, and they come up with like very cost effective mole cap techniques 168 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.000 that were like cameras, taped poles and that kind of stuff that was the 169 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:16.600 whole like market. They were like, look, how we have no money. 170 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.200 This is how we're doing this. Looks awesome. And now they're a 171 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.679 Microsoft owned studio with a presumably an endless amount of money to do it, 172 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.759 and they've got a brand new studio. This is very exciting, But it 173 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.720 seems like the sensibilities that gave way to what they were trying to achieve with 174 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.440 that game, especially exploring a mental health and using presentation and actual design to 175 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.720 further that. It looks like it's there in spades again with the whole change 176 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.000 of like how binormal audio works and kind of like the shift in how Senua 177 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.919 is dealing with her internal conflicts and external conflicts versus that. So I'm very 178 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.159 very excited to see that. I think the one question I have was the 179 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.159 combat in the original Health Blade was kind of hit and miss for various reasons. 180 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.679 Are you try and hit and sometimes you miss? I'm interested to see 181 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.559 how they evolved that. If they evolved that and what they did mention they 182 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.360 had a bit of an overhaul. I really want to go back and because 183 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.080 I mean twenty seventeen a long time ago. Yeah, it still looks nice 184 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:28.360 and it plays. I think it plays. It's interesting enough to carry you 185 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.799 through it, even if it's not as satisfying and intuitive as it could be. 186 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:37.200 Ye. Yeah, it's intense, though I remember I played it a 187 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.639 little bit for it fairly recently. I remember thinking, this is intense. 188 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.720 This is a lot. Mate. I bought that wireless xbox headset for us 189 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.840 when we got really into Halo for that month. It was a great one. 190 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.279 The headset and Halo. Yeah, Halo. So I'm really looking forward 191 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.399 to actually getting in there and listen to it as as an Inju Theory intended. 192 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:09.320 Yeah, I'm excited. This feels like the series X's first big cinematic, 193 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.240 sort of narrative driven game, at least that comes to mind right now. 194 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.320 I know we've had like Starfield and Hi Fi Rush High Fi Rush, 195 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:22.519 but like this is sort of that that Prestige triple A game that Sony usually 196 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:28.519 does so well with their with their franchises that I feel like Xbox fans maybe 197 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.960 haven't quite had that itch scratch, so so I'm excited to see what they 198 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.320 do. But also to everyone's point, like Ninja Theory usually do some really 199 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.440 interesting stuff with their characters. They're there, the stories they tell, the 200 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.600 way they design audio, like, it's all seems exciting, and I'm happy 201 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.000 we got to release date because I swear to god, we've been showed that 202 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.240 game so many times and it's like cool, but when can we play it? 203 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.759 I'm so surprised I didn't do Want a Game Awards, but then they 204 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.559 were obviously holding it for this. But yeah, when they did the Game 205 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.919 Awards, New Look at game play and the musical number. I was like, 206 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.639 all right, guys, this is it we've got now, But I 207 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.440 mean it had already leaked. We a scene that May twenty first date bandied 208 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.279 around a bunch. All the lights just went off outside our studio and it 209 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.000 looks pretty haunting. Yeah, are we on camera? By the way? 210 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.360 Oh and then I'm gonna move. I feel really weird because I'm like half 211 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.039 facing the camera that's not on. Yeah, no cameras today, Thank god. 212 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.399 Good a couple of other games that we can quickly rattle through. It 213 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.120 was. It was a very tight and focused forty minutes. The other surprise 214 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.120 was they didn't talk about this ahead of time like they did with the other 215 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.159 games, but screens popped up with visions of Mana. I don't think we 216 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.360 have any major You like Mana? Don't You never played them? Actually? 217 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.320 Cool? So I always forget like you're into like some jrpeach. It's always 218 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.080 catch me off god, which is like anime. Yeah, it's like you 219 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.559 don't play a lot, but you're like, oh yeah, I played every 220 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.720 single Dreagon Quest or some shit like that. I'm like, okay, weird. 221 00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:02.799 But the Mana series obviously A historically a beloved OPG franchise. First time 222 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:08.440 is coming to Xbox. Looks cool, very kind of stylized, and love 223 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.919 air juggling happening in that game for some reason. But I don't have a 224 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:18.240 particularly strong affiliation for Mana. I played a bunch of Secrets Mana and it's 225 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.360 fantastic, But since then, it's not one of those franchises that I'm desperate 226 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.480 for it to come back. But I'm glad that it's there. It's a 227 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.240 pretty big deal for Microsoft as well, just to kind of like they're continuing 228 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.039 to court the Japanese devs and it, I mean, we saw it was 229 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.120 some game first last year when they had a bunch of you know, the 230 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:41.720 Persona three reload and Yakaza in the Summer event, and then strengthening their relationship 231 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.120 with Square and Capcom. It's pretty easy. Yeah, it's pretty cool to 232 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.559 see because you know, yeah, I don't I don't think I've felt this 233 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:53.840 kind of commitment or like presence on Xbox since they did the the Sakaguchi stuff 234 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.519 back in the day, where it was like we've got a bunch of these 235 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:03.759 the mist Walker games, you know, Blue Dragon and Lost that kind of 236 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.160 stuff, but it's it's good to see that they are still playing in that 237 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.680 region and trying to ensure that the people worldwide that love games from Japan feel 238 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:17.119 represented and catered to on the Xbox platform, which is great. The other 239 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:25.160 games were Avowed, which looks interesting. Obsidian's been doing some really core stuff. 240 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.160 Jake's gonna sit this one out as a former employee of Obsidian. I 241 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:30.279 mean, I have things to say that I'm not. Yeah, sure wisely, 242 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.799 which is a smart thing to do. Yeah. So, like Obsidian, 243 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:40.559 they make excellent RPGs and narrative driven games, choice driven games, and 244 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.640 that's exactly what Avowed looks like. It looks like they're trying to adhere, 245 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.319 not adhere to, but like building off the tameplay that they kind of established 246 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.799 without all worlds. They're kind of like hub but not Hubase, but like 247 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:59.559 small area based thing and then kind of layering on a Skyrim esque RPG on 248 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.480 top of it. Yeah, I will I will say I'm really interested in 249 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.359 the combat, like it kind of looks like it'll scratch. I know, 250 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:10.359 the comparison of oh no, the score Room. But you know, I 251 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.440 mean, you're going to be if you want to be reductive. Yes, 252 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.000 one of the biggest compliments that you could potentially pay, like, oh, 253 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.359 it's another one of those games that sold a billion dollars. So I mean, 254 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.759 I'm really intrigued by that. I will say I don't think it was 255 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:27.440 the best showing for the narrative stuff. I think that felt just despite them. 256 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.519 You know, they've only got a certain amount of time trying to give 257 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.119 context for the decisions that the characters were making, the players are making, 258 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.640 and then just kind of having these one off lines. I was like, 259 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.519 I could have just this could have just been a combat showcase for me, 260 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.920 and you could have just told me that you've got the obsidian narrative stuff in 261 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.400 there, and I would have believed you. Yeah, I feel like in 262 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.880 this scenario, you don't want to show off narrative. What you want to 263 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.920 show off is characters. And that's the thing that I hope that like big 264 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.759 rpgu developers start to think about more, like, people don't really want to 265 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:03.759 see a small slice of a story anymore, and you risk kind of falling 266 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.400 on your face when you do that stuff. But what you can do is 267 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.519 in the same way that every RPG tries to be like look at the cute 268 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.119 character. We got the cute pet. I think you can do that in 269 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.000 a in a RPG with like this is a cool character. Like imagine if 270 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:19.359 the only thing that we had seen of Balder's Gate during one of their showcas 271 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.240 was Karlac, Like, people are going to spend ages talking about that character 272 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:27.160 or you know, any number of a starry On or whoever it may be. 273 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.519 I feel like, if there's an opportunity to showcase, if you want 274 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.960 to showcase a narrative, focus on the character and who they are instead, 275 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.160 which is way cool. I feel like you get made more way more mile 276 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.160 age out of that. But I'm interested in seeing more of a vowed. 277 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:45.400 The sickest key art of any game looks insane, like so good, whoever 278 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.680 did that, Kia or whoever it may be, good job that is only 279 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:56.680 that is a tattoo waiting to be made. Other game a history. I'm 280 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.799 told seem excited for this game. It's not my kind of good people good, 281 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.960 very excited. Well I'm in it is not really, but there was 282 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.559 that there was a character who looks like there's a white woman with short hair 283 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.359 means look at you. Yeah, I wish I wish there could be my 284 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.359 kind of game. I remember when SEV what was the last Save six Yeah, 285 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.000 came out and Chris, who used to work with was obsessed with it, 286 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:27.960 Yeah, like an absolute demon for SIEV. And I tried it and 287 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.839 I just went, this is a bit of yeah, without sounding reductive. 288 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.359 It is very much we have SIVE at home, but not like to the 289 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.920 degree where it's like we've got a crap version of it. This is like 290 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.759 the Foraxis team, former Faraxis members set up a new studio and now they're 291 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.799 making what is essentially a Save style game, and I think the big deal, 292 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:48.960 the kind of big hook for them this time around is this living world 293 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.000 where a lot of the stuff in the SIVE staff is like you have a 294 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:57.160 fairly static game space and then your movement around there and like how you interact 295 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.599 with certain thing dictates her, whereas this is more like a world that is 296 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.160 alive. So that one of the things that they talked about was like animals 297 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.240 that could become aggressive, Like was it coyotes or something like that. We're 298 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:14.799 getting annoying or stuff like that. Cougars so because everyone hates cougars, and 299 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.440 I was like, I don't think you'd say that to their face. No, 300 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:22.079 no, but yeah, that's I mean not for me. I played 301 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.200 a decent amount of Sieve in my time, like especially like Sieve Rev, 302 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.960 I played a crazy amount of But I think I'm just not at the stage 303 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.960 where this is the kind of thing that excites me. But I know there's 304 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:38.359 a huge audience for this, and even bigger one or as bigger one that 305 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:42.319 is it will be interested on it because of the pedigree of the developer being 306 00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:49.279 a former for access people. What eight years since Sive six DLC, Yeah, 307 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.559 it came out in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, I don't know. 308 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.880 And I also think like this is a very potentially smart move from Microsoft. 309 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:02.839 SIV is like a very Sive as corner a market on grand strategy on that 310 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:08.359 scale to that production level. There's obviously like Paradox makes one billions grand strategy. 311 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:18.960 The Macaurys did a monster factory on it, remember it was a goddamn 312 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.680 it and probably like Europa Universality, yeah, something like that, but they 313 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.640 had that. Yeah, so I feel like that, Yeah, Sylvia is 314 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:33.839 kind of like Macael Roy's grand deception probably is that Yeah, no, no, 315 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:45.119 this is a this is a Catholic report different macas In reality, what 316 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:52.839 macro is advocating for in the Synodality is a kind of crypto Vatican three. 317 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:57.599 No is this one of those is a weird My family got radicalized by one 318 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:03.559 of those Catholic websites. They're already Catholic. But yeah, so there's very 319 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.119 few developers or properties out there that does like that kind of SIEV style game, 320 00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:14.200 and obviously Civilizations owned by does It Take two two K that kind of 321 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.519 thing. For if Microsoft can make this one pop off, they will be 322 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.400 one of two major players in that genre, which is a huge deal because 323 00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:26.119 you know, I think of it in the same way that Flights Him is 324 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.720 no one's making flights Him except Microsoft right now, not any competing ones anyway, 325 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.240 So they could potentially corner another part of the market and having this as 326 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.599 kind of like a jewel in their crown is particularly smart. I think if 327 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.799 it paid, if it works as intended and it pays off and it develops 328 00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:48.119 an audience, especially if they're like can continue the kind of like have a 329 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.079 presence in the same way that SIEV does on something like game Pass on PC 330 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.119 and console. Bringing these one out every couple of years. Well that's the 331 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:59.359 thing as well. Game Pass is pretty much reached saturation on console and PC 332 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.039 is the new market they want to hit, and you've seen them really go 333 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.319 to turn on Age of Empires and other yea they have a Empires yeah, 334 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:15.599 other PC forward properties. So it's a smart shrewd move, smart move Microsoft 335 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:23.319 weird mood and that kind of covers everything that was at the Xbox. They 336 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.559 just call it a direct. I love that they were just like, we're 337 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.160 going to develop a direct, but yeah, they but they put an underscore 338 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.519 in between, so it's edgy. I like the whole like on a computer, 339 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.119 typing out, start on the mirror, see everyone's cursor flying around. 340 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.400 And also so I think it was as a show quite tight. I really 341 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:47.400 like that the baked in subtitles is something that you called out on Twitter. 342 00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:51.319 That was very cool, very I like that a lot really helps with accessibility. 343 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.599 But yeah, overall, I really enjoyed it. I love that they 344 00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:00.359 set the expectations from the outset and they had one small surprise that was great, 345 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:07.279 didn't let people speculate too much. The one thing there were people on 346 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.440 into it being like why if the Olden Ring showed up. No, I 347 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.839 didn't. I didn't say I think Eldon y. I tweeted a picture of 348 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.039 Karli and I said, I'm leaving milk and cookies out in case. But 349 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.119 my my one complained about this showcase. Then I tweeted this out. I 350 00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.920 feel I felt it was a bit sanitized. It's I mean, there are 351 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:33.000 so many marketing beads to hit, but I think if you compare the not 352 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:36.680 to say that the devs were passionate, but they are obviously working from a 353 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:41.559 script, and I think that energy versus Dinger Bacaba on stage at Game Awards 354 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.519 doing kicks yeah, or a boo on stage at Game Awards crying and like, 355 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.599 you know, having this big, big moment where it's emotional. I 356 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.319 feel a passion behind those projects. And not to say that the passion's not 357 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.359 hearing this. I'm just just saying it's two different ways of presenting the same 358 00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.559 staged it feels stage. And I think the one, the one out of 359 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:06.279 all of the five that were shown where there was a little bit more dynamic 360 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.400 interaction was the hell Blade section where that was clearly interviewing yeah, rather than 361 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.599 here's your here's your script. And I think having the sections of them in 362 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.599 the mocap and performance capture, I thought added a little bit more that is 363 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:25.119 merely me as a producer, that is producer brain. It's true. I 364 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.920 also feel like there is space for it because they did it a little bit. 365 00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:32.160 I think with the thing where that guy walks in in the background, 366 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:38.400 that's the thing. You get more moments like that when you kind of go 367 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.880 off the cuff a little bit, and they are fun. They are things 368 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.960 that will be memed. Xbox, as a brand on social really loves leading 369 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.799 into their memes shout out to Josh Stein over there. But they they know 370 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:52.519 one's going to connect with their audience, and I wish they would just loosen 371 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.039 the reins on these directs a little bit to allow for more of those. 372 00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:57.599 Yeah, or just check in some outtakes, like you had a bit of 373 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.759 that at the end, but like a little bit more of that. It 374 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.680 will be funny. But yeah, overall, good job, good ship. 375 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:18.519 Let's move on to what we've actually been playing. I know that we, 376 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.440 like we said, we are bound not to speak about some of the games 377 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:25.799 we're playing, but one thing that we can talk about that is out now 378 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.240 is Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. JKB played it. Do you have 379 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.839 any interest in playing it? I didn't, and then people said it was 380 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:38.519 really good, it's so good. Yeah, I've been playing it. I 381 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.480 finished it. I'm half yeah, so I moved on to the other thing 382 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:48.240 because time is taken. But yeah, it's a it's a game that I 383 00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.160 kind of We played it at was it games Com? Game Game Fest? 384 00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:55.480 Was that? Yeah, it was off it was off site. Yeah, 385 00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:00.160 it was off site, and like it was like a couple of stations as 386 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.759 the new Prince of Persia game in thirty minutes, just play the game. 387 00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:06.599 And I remember coming out of that and being like, oh, this is 388 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.880 really interesting. This is potentially could be big. My only concern was like 389 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.559 it felt like it didn't it wasn't recognizable as a Prince of Persia game. 390 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.920 And I feel like now that now that I've played it, that's also kind 391 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:23.359 of one of its strengths. There are definitely nods to Prince of Persia there 392 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.599 that he does. He does the war run, when you do the air 393 00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:30.319 dash, Yeah, and it's like there's also set up for you know, 394 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.640 you're not playing as the Prince, you're effectively playing as one of the Prince's 395 00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:40.799 bodyguards and like the one of the the kind of the immortals who are like 396 00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:45.880 pledging to to look after and protect Persia, and you play like the newest 397 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:52.480 recruit who's who's clearly got very capable, but he's got ego issues. Oh 398 00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.680 yeah, he's got I mean, like he's what's to prove himself. Yeah. 399 00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:59.559 They also kind of like turned him into a kind of we need to 400 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.359 make him quite likable, so he becomes the archetype. He's a little I 401 00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.839 think I said this when we were recording BombCast or whatever it was, but 402 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:12.400 there's a little Zagrias in there in the writings, and that's not a bad 403 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.319 thing, but it's very much Oh they saw hates like, yeah, we 404 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:21.119 need to make SAGD a little bit more stoic and a little bit more Yeah, 405 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.400 it is, but like it is a metro Vaneer style game. I 406 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.039 know people hate that term now, but it's the most appropriate way to talk 407 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.920 about it. But it's kind of like it takes it, puts his own 408 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:40.160 spin on it in introducing a few features that are really really valuable. I 409 00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:44.319 cannot imagine playing a metric. Yeah, there's something out the picture the picture 410 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.839 once, so have you seen this thing so at any point or like there's 411 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.480 like a currency that you play, but it's like very easy. You could 412 00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.000 basically use them fourteen times and then once you get to the max, I 413 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.359 think you have to like start removing him. But what you can do is 414 00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.079 you press down on a dpad and it takes a snapshot of those screen and 415 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.759 you're in and then depends that to where you are on the map. So 416 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.480 let's say you run into a room and there's a door there and you can't 417 00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:10.839 get through it, and then like you're when you're like circling the map and 418 00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:11.759 you're like, oh, what's this dead end? Instead of being like, 419 00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:14.880 oh, that's probably where I have to go, running all the way there 420 00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:17.079 and being like oh, this was that one room that I forgot about that's 421 00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:18.440 got the key, you just hover all around. You're like, oh, 422 00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.839 okay, here's this thing. I know what I need to do there. 423 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.759 I think that is very very cool. Some of the other stuff I don't 424 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.799 remember now what really good accessibility options. Accessibility options are very good to skip 425 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.440 particularly difficult platforming sections. You open like a little portal and just zipsy to 426 00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:41.759 the top. Changes on parry window timing, you can adjust how much damage 427 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:48.519 your enemies give and take Sargon's health. You can buy hints. It's it's 428 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.799 great. It's so approachable. But all the big metro Vineo fans that I 429 00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:59.160 know and time obviously among them just singing its praises. It's it's the combat 430 00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.599 is surprisingly in depth, Like it's got a lot going on for it, 431 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:08.680 and you start working in things like traversal mechanics and like other things, and 432 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:15.680 it becomes a very very cool kind of like combat system that's got enough room 433 00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.839 for you to figure things out. One of the cool things that I did, 434 00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.039 and I didn't realize until basically the end of the game when I went 435 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:23.799 to the one character who teaches you how to do stuff, and it's a 436 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.119 move that he also teaches you, but I figured it out on my own. 437 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.119 It's like, so there's an ability which is effectively recall, Like you 438 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.319 press a button and it puts a kind of crystallized version of Sargon there. 439 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.640 You carry on going. When you hit the button, he kind of like 440 00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:38.880 phases back to the original one. So what I started doing was like he 441 00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.920 has a charge move where like he pulls his sword back and when you let 442 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.440 go, he sends this massive, really powerful wave. So I was like, 443 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.480 okay, I'm just gonna do this, So I charge it, put 444 00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.519 down one of those like recall crystals let go, so the Sargon that I'm 445 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:57.279 actually controlling would do his like charged wave move, then I'd hit the recall 446 00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.759 button. He'd go back in time and then do another one of those. 447 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.799 So it's like you do that, it's really cool, and then like you 448 00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.839 build juggles into that and it's like very very interesting the things that you can 449 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:12.000 do with it. And then you've got like he's got a necklace which you 450 00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.359 can put like charms on that allow him to do different things. There's some 451 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:22.039 absolutely incredible boss battles towards the end where it's like it's super high execution and 452 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.240 it requires a lot of like very specific They feel like Dark Soul's bosses at 453 00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:29.240 terms, where it's like if you get hit by this move, it's all 454 00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:31.240 done, Like you are done. Recovery is going to be very difficult, 455 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:35.720 but you can also like work your way around that stuff by some charms. 456 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.319 It will give you amulet sorry, it'll give you a second like if you 457 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:43.559 die, you get one more chance, or Yeah, there's another currency that 458 00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.839 feeds into this meter that gives you more powerful abilities, and so one of 459 00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:52.599 them can actually like give regen health. If you stand in a certain spot, 460 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.160 there's an amulate charm you can put on that every time you get hit 461 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:59.000 that channels your damage into that. So you can do a nice little risk 462 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.519 award thing with you where and you can build. You can set up a 463 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:07.759 build that just works for you, and it's very customizable in a really fun 464 00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:12.640 way. So my build was like basically a seculor bloodborne build where whenever I 465 00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.440 parried, it would firstly it was parry focus, which was which I love 466 00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:20.119 doing. When I parried, it would create this like severe sphere around me 467 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:24.480 where anything in there would slow down like verious. And also when I parried, 468 00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:29.680 I would recover some health. So my focus was entirely on parrying. 469 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.079 It does the thing where it's like red move which you can't parry, yellow 470 00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.720 move which you can parry, and the yellow move. If you imagine if 471 00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.799 you in like Securo, if every time you parried it it did this really 472 00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:45.759 cool, powered up cinematic like execution move. It has that so enemies will 473 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:47.359 attack you normally you can parry that. But if they do like the yellow 474 00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.279 attack and you parry that, you get like a big damage anime style like 475 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:54.279 kicks them into the air, flies up there, there's loads of slashes, 476 00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:59.440 hit them back down, that kind of thing, and it's really really satisfying. 477 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:04.359 The other thing I I was like, the story isn't great. It's 478 00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:08.239 it's nice, it's doing enough to yeah, push me alt. I feel 479 00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:13.920 like it ends way stronger than it is the entire way through. So like 480 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:17.079 once the final sequence, like the final stretch is happening, you're like, 481 00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.599 oh, that's what's happening here, and it's kind of a cool Conceit involves 482 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.880 like a character that you barely deal with, and then it kind of like 483 00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.880 a bunch of these threads come together and you're like, oh, I understand 484 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:34.920 the setup for this. I think like along the way it's like not particularly 485 00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.119 strong, but once it gets to the end, you're like, Okay, 486 00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:42.920 that's kind of like a solid story that perhaps it wasn't super engaging on the 487 00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.280 lead up to it, that is eventually like it becomes good. The other 488 00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:51.199 kind of tricky part is that I think the voice of was not great. 489 00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.079 It's okay, I mean there's one character that they forgot to replace the voice 490 00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.920 on it, and it's like it's a text to speech character. Oh really, 491 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:01.960 yeah, be patched almost. But I think they said it's the little 492 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:07.719 kid voice from TikTok and it's and like I remember being I was like, 493 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:12.159 I've heard this voice on those Minecraft jumping videos that are reading out Reddit, 494 00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:16.239 like what's the worst thing you've ever seen? Like that kind of stuff, 495 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:19.840 and you're like I was like, what the what is this? And for 496 00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.119 a minute I was like, Oh, they found the TikTok the like TTS 497 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:27.119 voice person. Oh she's on TikTok. Yeah. Yeah, And it's like 498 00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:30.119 I was like, okay, cool. But otherwise it's kind of like hit 499 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:35.880 and miss the voice over stuff. But in terms of playing it really really 500 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:38.719 cool. Some very very satisfying and tricky, like platforming challenges, which, 501 00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:43.159 as Lucy said, you can skip if you want to. There are I 502 00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:45.039 feel like it goes on a bit too long. How long did it take 503 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.239 you twenty four hours or something? But I spent a lot of time just 504 00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:52.960 running around and I texted you about this. It does that thing where it's 505 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.800 like the bad guy you beat him, and it feels like, all right, 506 00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.480 this is the final battle, and then he's like hah, my planet 507 00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.400 needs me and flies away. I will see you next time, and you're 508 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.760 like, oh, for fox sake, and then you get like four or 509 00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:06.679 five hours more game. Thankfully, the four or five hours are like oh, 510 00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:08.400 the three to four hours whatever it may be, is like a new 511 00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:12.760 power and a new area, and it's like, okay, this is good, 512 00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.039 but you just baited me with that kind of like it almost is done, 513 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:19.440 but I highly recommend it. I feel like that's what I needed to 514 00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.639 hear, because I know people are pretty positive when like people were doing previews 515 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:24.840 and I was like, okay, cool, but I don't know if really 516 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:29.639 it's my thing. And then I saw the reviews and I'm like, okay, 517 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:32.119 it's a good metrod Veinium. But you know, usually I just play 518 00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:37.400 Metroid and that's it, you know, like I don't have I get tired 519 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.239 of Metroid Venus quickly these days. But I think hearing that with all the 520 00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:45.440 intricacies with combat, customization, platforming, other stuff, sounds pretty cool. 521 00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:46.280 When's it out? Is that tomorrow? Right? So I don't know, 522 00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:51.039 I think I guess, yeah, today's there's an enemy in there where it's 523 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.119 like a jailer, which if he captures you, you're teleploid into a jail, 524 00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:57.960 which is like, oh, you've played Dark Cells, have you? 525 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:01.599 You played Bloodborne? Have you? Is basically it's basically the kidnapper enemy from 526 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.480 Bloodborne, and you're like, Okay, cool, great, well done. 527 00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.079 But yeah, I highly recommend it. I think like Dan on Giant Bomb 528 00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:12.719 said, like he thinks that it's one of the best games in this genre, 529 00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:16.039 and I think I agree now at the very least, it does things 530 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:21.679 that now feel like you cannot make these kind of games without this thing, 531 00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:24.480 unless you're just trying to be obnoxious about it, like I want that snapshot 532 00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:30.360 featuring every metrod Vianeer game now, So good job to Ubisoft. Is it 533 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:37.599 Montpellier? Yeah, the ray Man team and Steve What's reviewed it for us 534 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.719 and he said like, this feels like they found a new place for Princeville 535 00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:45.119 Polia to exist, And I completely agree with that, like that this is 536 00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:49.159 the this is their new genre for that franchise. Still waiting on that Sounds 537 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.400 of Time remake, yep, yep. I wouldn't be surprised if suddenly Ubisoft 538 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:58.679 Montpellier are making a Assassin's Creed metrod Veneer at some point soon. So yeah, 539 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:01.360 because they had those two of five D one a while ago. But 540 00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:06.039 the Russia one and the yeah, the China one. Yeah, I think 541 00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:07.840 there was a Japan one as well before the one that they're currently making. 542 00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:12.000 Yeah. Oh it was Russia. Oh yeah, there was. I thought 543 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.440 there was Russia in Russia, China and Japan. Maybe I'm imagining it. 544 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:21.800 Yeah, Jake, you've been playing The Loss of US Part two update. 545 00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:25.599 Yes, I haven't touched the story because I played the story and I wasn't 546 00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:29.519 in the mood to re experience that. Not that I didn't like it, 547 00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:31.480 I just didn't. Yeah, you know, it's not a January, you 548 00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:37.559 know, the night so long. Yeah, but I've been playing a lot 549 00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:42.199 of No Return. I like that. I think it's pretty good. I 550 00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:45.880 think it all hinges on the fact that The Last of US combat is really 551 00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:47.760 good. At least I think Last of Us Part two is combat is really 552 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:51.920 good. I know it's not for everyone, but I think if you're really 553 00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:57.000 into the combat, then No Return is the perfect playground for it. Just 554 00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.119 these small missions that you can get loaded in that have a bunch of random 555 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:06.280 uh, parameters that kind of get played around with, and when it feels 556 00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:12.519 good, it feels great defeating whatever factions you're up against. It just feels 557 00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:16.320 really tight. I think like the rogue Light elements aren't the best. They 558 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:21.400 feel a little unnecessary. Some of it feels short too, like you can 559 00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.079 finish a run in like thirty minutes or so. But I do like that. 560 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:28.079 There's like a good progression system where you can unlock new characters. You 561 00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:30.199 can get Joel, can play who is I was I was looking. You 562 00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:35.920 can play with Joel No, no, no, so Joel. There's there's 563 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:38.639 like how many seven or something characters you can do ten? Who is that 564 00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:43.480 last guy? Manny? I think is what it is? Who is that? 565 00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.239 He's he's someone from Joel at Home? Yeah, he's someone from uh 566 00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:53.199 uh uh Abby? But why is he the last character to unlock? I 567 00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:57.280 was trying to figure that out too. I have no idea because I thoughts 568 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.039 with Abby and then you get Lev and then yeah, it should have been 569 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:05.440 Leve. I think Joel normal Joel? Or is it like my head's caved 570 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.679 in Joel? Uh, there's no head caved in, jur That's where it 571 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.760 should have been However, what about is there a costume for that? Because 572 00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.880 there you can get Joel from like Last of Us one, I did like 573 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:21.440 that you can get Eli in Astronaut. Yeah yeah, but I think, 574 00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:22.440 like I said, it really boils down to, like, if you're into 575 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:24.840 the combat, if you like Last of Us Part two is combat, then 576 00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:30.519 it is definitely for you because it is the perfect place to really use a 577 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:34.519 lot of mechanics and items that you could use in this story, but you 578 00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:37.639 kind of didn't, just because the story kind of pushes you along so fast. 579 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.159 You kill like four or five enemies at a time and move on. 580 00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:44.119 But this just throws a lot at you and you're really able to kind of 581 00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:49.199 stretch your I don't know, combat muscles, because I think the combat in 582 00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:52.719 that game is pretty creative if you if you want to play it that way. 583 00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:57.280 But yeah, I think for folks who didn't like The Last of Us 584 00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.280 too, not necessarily because the story, but weren't wild about combat. I 585 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.920 know some people don't like the combat in those games, it's probably not for 586 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.960 you. But yeah, there's some neat ideas with the Rogue Light mode, 587 00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:13.000 but I don't it's not as good as some lot of people say God of 588 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:14.920 War is better. I didn't play the God of War one. You should 589 00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:19.920 have really really good. And it's also the way that it narratively ties in 590 00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:24.559 and it yeah, it makes for very cool. I have to finish Ragnarok 591 00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:28.400 first, Yeah, oh yes you do. Yeah, it takes place. 592 00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:31.079 Yeah. I started playing last weeks as well, a little bit over the 593 00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:37.280 break, and I really liked the game. I liked the combat. Going 594 00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:43.639 back into that mode after playing Valhalla was it. Yeah, it didn't gel 595 00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:45.039 with me and I did drop off very quickly. I do want to go 596 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.679 in and do and see the kind of unfinished level stuff, and the that 597 00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.599 stuff is really cool. Yeah, the levels of themselves, they're very short, 598 00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:58.400 they're not they're not like super compelling or even fun necessarily, but I 599 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.840 think it's just cool that Naughty Dog included those and give people the option to 600 00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:06.920 check out work in progress levels and there's a level of transparency that I just 601 00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:12.000 would not expect from Sony, Naughty Dog anything like that. Yeah, so 602 00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.760 seeing that's cool, and I hope that is a trend because I would love 603 00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:17.920 to see a lot of these working work in progress levels, maybe as bonus 604 00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.800 things, because I think, you know, players can understand why they're not 605 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.480 there. It helps that Neil Druckman gives like a little before you play a 606 00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:29.400 level, there's a little video where he explains why it was cut, what 607 00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:32.119 the thinking was behind it, like what was the original intent? And you 608 00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:36.360 know, a lot of it's like kind of gray boxed out. Not everything 609 00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:39.960 is there, a lot of voiceovers missing, But it's cool seeing that, 610 00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:45.480 and yeah, I would love to see more of that. Just yeah, 611 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:46.599 it's cool. I think it's worth checking out. I don't know if you 612 00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:50.400 need to do all of them, but no, I feel like gaming is 613 00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:54.679 definitely missing. It's DVD extra. Yeah, it really feels like that. 614 00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:59.519 There's so many extras in this, Like there's the guitar free play mode, 615 00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:01.639 which I was like that seems kind of ridiculous, but it's actually pretty in 616 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:07.119 depth. People are doing it like regardless of it become probably, but you 617 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.840 can change your instrument. You use an electric guitar, you can change your 618 00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:14.840 model. You can be a Gustavo I don't know his last Yeah, you 619 00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:20.159 can. You can place him with his banjo thing that he's got. Yeah, 620 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:22.480 you play a bunch of cords. I'm sure people are going to do 621 00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:24.119 some creative things with that, which is kind of cool. Ten dollars to 622 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:28.960 whoever does through the Fire in the Flames. Yeah, I just can't do 623 00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:34.960 him rock Bound Floor anymore. P R. Yeah, it's good. I 624 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:37.239 think if you really like The Last of Us too, it's worth a ten 625 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:39.280 dollars upgrade or whatever it is. I don't know exactly how much it is. 626 00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:45.519 Well you have it. That's everything from this. You want to add 627 00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:50.239 anything? Are you good? Watched Poor Things? Good movie? Great movie. 628 00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:53.280 I don't want to delve into the discourse around it. Time watching it 629 00:43:53.360 --> 00:44:00.800 is a discourse around it. I mean, like you understand understandable why I 630 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:02.679 think I know what the discourses I just don't installed. I just I'm not 631 00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.760 on Twitter anymore. So it's like understandable discourse. Yeah, it's just it's 632 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:12.199 just really a lot. It's a lot. But I had also The Trader 633 00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:19.239 Is season two UK version is unbelievable. Oh yeah, I gotta I gotta 634 00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.039 catch up. I mean, I've had it spoiled for me because you know, 635 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:27.400 I'm not even mad because I'm on British Twitter as well, and so 636 00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:34.440 I think what happened in the episode yesterday was so iconic and even just enjoying 637 00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.480 it from the memes and stuff. If you are watching The Traders, don't 638 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.559 watch the American version where they've used a bunch of B list celebs, C 639 00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:44.679 lists celebs. Come on, let's be real, they're all like housewives from 640 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:50.800 a lan term whatever. Watch the UK version, regular people who aren't famous. 641 00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.360 There's one man in there, Paul, who I am genuinely afraid of. 642 00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:59.920 Paul is worrying man Paul when he was being interviewed on the show, 643 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:00.800 to be like, do you want to be a traitor or a faithful? 644 00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:07.239 So it's basically among us in a Scottish castle. They have the faithful and 645 00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.480 they have traitors, and every night the Traders have to pick off and kill 646 00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:16.360 one person. But also every night there's a big round table where everyone accusers. 647 00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:22.320 It is phenomenal. It's just drama pure. Season one, there was 648 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:27.199 a magician. Season two, we've got a clairvoyant, but we've got Paul. 649 00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:32.440 Paul, Paul, he was he was getting interviewed because Claudia or the 650 00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:37.360 produces pick who the Traders is going to be, and I think they start 651 00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:43.519 with two and then the Traders picked a third one or yeah, there's three. 652 00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:46.559 They start with three. When Paul was being interviewed and asked if you 653 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:50.559 wanted to be a trader or a faithful he was like, I want to 654 00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.679 be a traitor. And Claudia says, what words would you use to describe 655 00:45:52.679 --> 00:46:02.360 yourself and he said cruel watching this man feign ignorance as to who the traitor 656 00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:06.960 could be. And then at one point he gets voted most popular or something, 657 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:09.800 and it is insane. There was one point where he basically starts fake 658 00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:17.760 crying and he brings his infant son into it. I'm ready ready to go 659 00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:22.440 home and see my boy. Yeah. So Tim and I watching it with 660 00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.320 a couple of friends of ours and we just have a text chain where we're 661 00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:31.199 just it's basically every single message is I'm afraid of Paul. In the first 662 00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:35.559 season, though, it's hilarious because you get there was one guy who was 663 00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:38.400 like, I am an expert on reading body language. He was like, 664 00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:43.480 trust me, I know how to read people. He would just constantly say 665 00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:46.159 I know how to read people, and then he would make these like this 666 00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:50.920 is happening. I know it's this person, and he would be wrong every 667 00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:55.239 single time. But meanwhile, there's this other girl who's like she just like 668 00:46:55.760 --> 00:47:00.079 I would say the most nonsensical stuff, and it would stuff like I think 669 00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:05.519 it's Angela because her shoelaces are always untired, and you're like, what's that 670 00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:08.960 got to do with anything, and like she would accidentally kept keep being right, 671 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:12.920 Yeah, it will be the right person, but the reason is completely 672 00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:15.400 wrong. So it's like really weird. If you want to know how unhinged. 673 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:21.440 The first season of The Traders was, there was a moment, this 674 00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:27.320 is awful. They voted out a woman because she didn't raise her glass to 675 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:30.400 cheers with everyone else, and it was because she literally did not have an 676 00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:40.159 arm. They didn't her because they accused her because of that, and she 677 00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:45.519 just went, literally, I don't have this. But that's the thing. 678 00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:50.639 It's like, it's the smallest things get stuck in people's minds. And because 679 00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:55.119 she didn't like toast her glass with everyone else, they just were like you 680 00:47:55.639 --> 00:48:02.239 anyway, This show is believable. People are their most unhinged, so unhinged, 681 00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:07.559 and the memes have been fantastic. There's a woman in it called Diane 682 00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:16.159 an icon' I old people in that show are just like or like middle aged 683 00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:20.800 to elderly people just seem to be doing the most unhinged fixing as well. 684 00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:25.039 They also have these trials in the middle where they'll work together to earn money 685 00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:30.239 to the ghost towards boring. So shit boring, don't even skip back. 686 00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.440 The only good part of it, I phone the whole time. The only 687 00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:37.320 good part of those eyes. Like during each of these trials, there's an 688 00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:42.440 opportunity to like get a shield that will protect you from being killed. But 689 00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:45.480 to do that you kind of have to do something that would like disadvantage your 690 00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:49.199 team every now and so, like if it's like carry this log up this 691 00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:51.639 hill, they might be like, if you go down this part off, 692 00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:52.760 you can quickly grab one of these, So like you might be like, 693 00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:55.239 you, guys, I'm gonna go quick. We're gonna get this. And 694 00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:58.239 then people will be like, you left us, We're voting you out. 695 00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:00.880 You're a traitor. Oh yeah, because if you have a shield, you 696 00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:05.760 can't get murdered by the traders, but you can still get what's this is 697 00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:12.840 on BBC I Player, yeahs a VP VPN. So it's the one thing 698 00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:16.960 that finally got me a sign up for a VP after all these years. 699 00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:22.400 Phenomenal TV it's great.
