WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:15.240 He'll be Gon'll be bait. It's the Internet. You're busy. Let's do 2 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.280 this for June seventeenth, twenty twenty four. For the next hour or so, 3 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.760 let me help you sort through the world of gaming on Games Morning's Live 4 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.640 with Me Jeff Grubb. Today, Nintendo finally confirmed the date for its next 5 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.519 major video game showcase. But what can we expect there? But first, 6 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.799 please join me and welcome you today's co host it to Game Best Mornings. 7 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.439 It's Emma Fife. Everybody, Emma, how are you doing? It's me. 8 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:46.320 I'm great. I slept for two days basically straight after the conclusion of 9 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:52.039 all the summer games stuff. I truly my body was just like, nope, 10 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.479 nope, we got to sleep. And now I'm getting back into work 11 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.119 and I got a cat who's trying to lay on my arm, and here 12 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.759 we are. Yep, that's the way to do it. Yeah. I 13 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.840 was pretty similar, got home, slept a lot. My I feel like 14 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.439 my sleep schedule is still pretty messed up, like still in West Coast time 15 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.799 in a lot of ways. I need to fix that. But but otherwise, 16 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.599 home happy. We had a good time. I thought the show itself 17 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.719 was good. I thought our shows were a lot of fun, and yeah, 18 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.439 it was, it was. It was a good time. Glad we 19 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.760 were able to make it all happen. Any like games, you're like that 20 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.840 you were finally able to talk about or do any one that. I'm still 21 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.760 the one that I got to play amidst all the Madness is still under embargo. 22 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.079 Okay, there we go. Yes, I got a couple that are 23 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:46.239 still under embargo as well, so we'll get to all those eventually. Well. 24 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.920 Yeah, in that case, then have you been playing anything recently you're 25 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:55.359 still uh plugging away? Okay, Yeah, I love it, having a 26 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.959 great time. I had forbidden myself to play it during the week of so 27 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.680 because I can get really, really really sucked in and suddenly three hours will 28 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.800 have passed and I thought it was twenty minutes. So yeah, yep, 29 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.879 absolutely, That's where I'm at. Yeah, I uh, I spent like 30 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:23.240 a lot of yesterday playing Sega Rally Championship for PS two, Sega Rally Championship. 31 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.680 Yes, I love that game in the arcade and it's uh, it's 32 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.360 it's really good. And then I saw it there was a documentary that came 33 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.520 out about it like that. It's four and a half hours long, and 34 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.960 I was like watching that, I'm working that, I'm like, well, 35 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.159 I can't, I gotta play it. So yeah, I tracked down a 36 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:44.879 copy of the game and put it on my Steam deck and I was playing 37 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.280 that yesterday and that's that's a still really good game and it's great. I 38 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.080 was very happy because for a couple of weeks ago, I was trying to 39 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.520 find like in my memory, I remember going to the Arcade and playing a 40 00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.800 version of Sega Rally Championship that had a full motion simulator cap so like when 41 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.840 you would break, it would like jet you forward to make it feel like 42 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.360 you were like actually feeling the effects of the g's that you're pulling. And 43 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.759 I'm like, I can never find this machine. I don't even know if 44 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.199 it exists. I'm like, did I confuse myself? Is this something that 45 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.039 either mostly didn't exist or I made it bigger in my brain? I just 46 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.599 couldn't find any reference to it. And it's because and I discovered this last 47 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.120 night while like doing like downloading this stuff and watching this video. It was 48 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.439 Sega Rally Championship too, Sega Rally two, which is actually very small on 49 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.800 the marquee for that game, and then and then it says like Sega Rally 50 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:42.120 two Rally Championship or something, and that one, the deluxe model, was 51 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.840 the exact thing I was thinking of. So it was a relief to be 52 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.919 like, Okay, my childhood really did happen. I did not had. 53 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.400 I feel like I've definitely had things in my life come up to where I'm 54 00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.319 like, did I hallucinate this thing? And then when you discover that it 55 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.840 is in fact real even though nobody else in your purview has actually heard of 56 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.240 it, it's a great feeling. It was. It was a great feeling. 57 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.360 Yeah. And then now I'm like, on this kick of I find 58 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.599 one of these machines because now I'm interested to play it again? Yeah, 59 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.160 could I track one down? I don't think they had this model at Galloping 60 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.160 Ghost, which is like the largest arcada in North America, if not the 61 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.439 world. They had a thousand machines a couple a couple of years ago, 62 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.959 and they're still growing. So I'm like, Okay, if it wasn't there, 63 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.720 where where would I be able to find one? Yeah? I don't 64 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.800 know. See what we can make it happen. Was it a Japan produced 65 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.839 game? Yeah? You know it was Yes, yes, Sega made it 66 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.600 and then they yes, absolutely. Okay, if it's anywhere it's an Ochaiahabra 67 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.879 okay, yeah they probably they probably do have it still, just trying to 68 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:54.959 find it. Would I go in August? Yep, it's either way. 69 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.519 I was very relieved glad it exists at at the very least. So hopefully 70 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.199 I'll be able to track one down, you know. If not, well 71 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.639 I'll just buy one. How much can it possibly cost to buy and then 72 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:10.920 maintain and repair an old arcade cabinet with moving parts? All right, let's 73 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.720 explain what we do here most weekdays, I, Jeff Greb will help piece 74 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.600 your gaming life back together. That includes breaking news and maybe even some of 75 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.160 our own original reporting. For all these topics, I'll get the inplut a 76 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.399 bona fide expert who will make me look smart.

All right, we have a lot to get into, 81 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.199 so let's start the morning mess with this first one. The Nintendo Direct 82 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.839 has been set for tomorrow, June eighteenth. This is from Salramano at Gamatsu. 83 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:53.240 Nintendo will host a Nintendo Direct on June eighteenth at seven am Pacific time 84 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.279 ten am Eastern, featuring forty minutes of information focused on Switch games due out 85 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.279 in the second half of twenty twenty four. The company has announced there will 86 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.920 be no mention of the successor to the Switch, something they confirmed previously. 87 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.160 You will be able to watch it on YouTube and Nintendo dot Com probably Twitch 88 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.560 as well. Hey, yeah, there it is Nintendo Direct June eighteenth. 89 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.839 This is the date we've been hearing for a while. And excuse me that 90 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.920 disgrace leaker Madori also said j eighteenth, So I think they got one last 91 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:30.600 prediction in there before riding off into the weird sunset. But yes, this 92 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.480 is the show we've been anticipating, Emma, And that means what are you 93 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:43.480 anticipating to see? Well, I know that there's a conversation about this later 94 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:49.040 in the show run today, because I looked at the whole thing. Perhaps 95 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:59.759 a certain successor to a flavor of Metroid, shall we say, wouldn't surprise 96 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.279 me at all? Is that where you're at, It wouldn't surprise you at 97 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.600 all if metroc Prime, Like I'm kind of on, I'm kind of on 98 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:13.000 the Yeah, there is going to be a Metroid for Metroid Prime for something. 99 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:18.240 It could be as simple as Bass, you know what i mean, 100 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:24.240 Caesers I'm talking about where they just like show the moon and then a title 101 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.560 because I'm a little bit Look, there's a bunch of cozy games coming out 102 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.480 for Switch, but those are indies you know, that are going to be 103 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.759 coming to other titles as well. I'm certainly excited about ones that one that's 104 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:41.920 like the Little Yokai Spirit Village blah blah blah. And then there's another one 105 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.360 that looks like he's Delivery Service. But again, these are all indie titles, 106 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.040 and usually Nintendo is pretty forthcoming about like we're doing an indie showcase. 107 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.839 So yeah, what does what does Nintendo have? Yes, So what they 108 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.959 are setting up here, you're absolutely absolutely right that they are not necessarily holding 109 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.920 back expectations except for no Switch successor right that they're saying that, and then 110 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.079 they're setting no other real expectations in terms of you know, let's dial it 111 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.519 in clearly not an indie world. This is a real direct. But I 112 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.600 think, I mean, I think it's a real enough direct that you can 113 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.839 expect just about anything to pop up here. I think, you know, 114 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.120 this is the last chance for a big re reveal of Hollow Night's Silk Song 115 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.120 this summer. I think people are counting on that a little bit. We'll 116 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.920 see if that happens. I have no idea that would be be nice for 117 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.360 those people who really want that game and we're expecting it at the Xbox Show 118 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.639 and then didn't get it. But Metroid Prime Ford does seem to be the 119 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.320 one that I keep leaning on. Is like, if this thing wasn't going 120 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.399 to be in this show announced as a Switch one game, they probably would 121 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.639 have said something by now. So here we are at this direct. They 122 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.759 have a big hole in their schedule for later this year around the holidays. 123 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.960 That game would slide in that would fit in so nicely right there, and 124 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.639 then they could fill it out with a bunch of other things like the Zelda 125 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:07.080 remix. Sean's gonna get me killed with this Zelda blowout incoming thing up here. 126 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.440 This is gonna get screenshotted, and I'm gonna get shot on the street 127 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:16.639 again for promising Zelda. I am doing no such thing, but you're speculating. 128 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:24.279 Yeah, I would hear me out. The Zelda game that deserves a 129 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.679 Switch release is Twilight Princess. Okay, that's likely going to Princess, underrated 130 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.360 Zelda title. I agree. We gotta we gotta get it in there. 131 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:41.320 We gotta get her in there. I think so that Win Waker Twilight Princess 132 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.120 double HD pack the ones that got remade for you. Uh that that was 133 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.440 the rumor from years ago that this is a project they did, finished up 134 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.320 and now it's just been sitting there ready to go for a rainy day. 135 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.879 Well, they delayed the switch too, so this is the rainy day. 136 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.080 Why not just drop this thing. They had a big Zelda game last year, 137 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.799 They tried to have one big Bazelda release per year. Before that, 138 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.720 they had Skyward Sword, so they could go through this year without anything. 139 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.399 Well, no, they have these things they could drop, so I would 140 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.799 be excited about that. There's you know, several like the rumored Mario Baseball 141 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.399 game that could drop. There's the Summer Olympic Olympics this year. Sega and 142 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.720 Nintendo could team up again. For a Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. 143 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.639 Uh, there's a whole bunch of things that could be at this show 144 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.120 that I would be. You know, the Fire album remaster, a Slash 145 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.679 remake, we keep caring about that. That's also Flash, right. If 146 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.799 they were to do a re release of there would it would take some tinkering 147 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.120 because it was a DS game, and it's always a challenge DS games because 148 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.960 you're dealing with the dual screens. But oh my god, if I could, 149 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:54.159 if I could just get a remaster with the same sort of graphical integrity 150 00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:01.279 I don't think graphicles word integrity of graphical you know of Awakening, which was 151 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:07.360 my uh fire emblem gayway game, Oh my god, I'd be so happy. 152 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.759 I'd be so happy. Yes, I think the rumor is it's like 153 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.399 they're actually going back to the Fire Moon games. We never like OG's yeah 154 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.759 never, yea genealogy of the Holy War at least I was not paying attention. 155 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.120 So I really want to play genealogy with the Holy War because that was 156 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.000 one of the ones that had a big influence on Awakening, where again you 157 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:35.440 are dealing with those multiple generations. But yeah, yeah, Okay, yeah, 158 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.240 So, I mean, there's lots of stuff that could be there. 159 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.120 Is there anything in particular that you, like, like would think would be 160 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.120 like a long shot beyond any of these, or you just like, I'm 161 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.039 along for the ride. Whatever they got to like send out the switch and 162 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.840 style, I'm there for it. I don't think it's a long shot per 163 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:58.559 se. And this also wouldn't necessarily be a switch. It wouldn't be a 164 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.440 switch of the end. However, I do think that a lot of the 165 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.960 For example, I believe that we saw that there was going to be that 166 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:16.200 remaster of Tactics ogre for during a Nintendo Switch showcase. I may be wrong 167 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.679 and chat feel free to correct me on this, but like you know, 168 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:26.120 we're hearing about Final Fantasy Tactics, remaster, re release whatever, definitely happening. 169 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:35.360 So yeah, and those Final Fantasy like Final Fantasy nine and Final Fantasy 170 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.480 Tactics could both show up here. I wouldn't be surprised by that. Yes, 171 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.639 that would be very cool. I think squery Enix will more frequently show 172 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.159 up at Nintendo direc directs. It's not like they were avoiding them before, 173 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.159 but now that they are making it clear, that's like, no, we 174 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.799 are supporting all these platforms. Square Enix being as much part of the Nintendo 175 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.960 Direct as possible is going to be crucial to that strategy. So the final 176 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.399 Fantasy name and a Nintendo Direct is something that can can move things, and 177 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.840 I think they all recognize that. So yeah, this is tomorrow morning. 178 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.559 We'll talk over it. We'll find a way to get that done, even 179 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.120 though Jan's out. We'll talk over it, discuss it on the bomb Cast, 180 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.120 things like that. So that'll be our tomorrow. I'm looking forward to 181 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:22.039 it. So yeah, no, no switch to news here, we know 182 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:28.480 that not surprising. When do you think they talk about it then? Oh 183 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.480 the switch? Yeah? Yeah, like so we get we get through this 184 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.399 direct. There is no switch to news because there won't be when. Yeah. 185 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:46.639 Well, because historically Nintendo has not been a big presence at Achille related 186 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:52.600 events, correct, Yeah, that's true. Probably not the like Opening Night 187 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:58.399 Live at Games Come or no Show maybe yeah, you know. Yeah, 188 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.960 so that's like I always want to say that's in September, but I can't 189 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.000 remember. I believe it is September. Yeah, yeah, that rhyme, 190 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.759 I didn't mean it. Yeah, So I think this fall is like the 191 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.320 earliest, like we'll get through obviously the end of summer. They're not going 192 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.720 to talk about it this summer. That that that seems completely to make a 193 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.919 lot of sense. So yeah, I think this fall is the earliest. 194 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.360 It really depends actually on when this thing is going to come out, when 195 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.519 they want it to come out. There's still reason to think it could happen, 196 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.600 you know, by March, but really it's it's probably gonna happen a 197 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.159 little bit later than that now, it's feeling. But if it is, 198 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.039 if it is in the first half of next year still, then yeah, 199 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.000 I think we get to like September, October, maybe December at the latest 200 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.679 where they actually come out with a teaser of some sort to talk about it. 201 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.960 Maybe get on the other side of Metro a Prime four that would make 202 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.559 sense, unless, of course Metry Prime four is very cross gen, which 203 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.200 is also possible. We'll see, all right, there was There were some 204 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.159 more video game announcements happening at the end of last week. Shovel Knight's Got 205 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.679 a Sequel and sho Shovel of Hope DX are both on the way. This 206 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.759 is from Blair Marnell at Game Spot ten years ago. This month the retro 207 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.840 side scrolling action game Shovel Night made its debut to celebrate the anniversary Yacht Club 208 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.960 Games live streamed event that featured two big announcements. The first was a new 209 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.240 definitive version of the game Shovel Night Shovel of Hope DX, and the second 210 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.399 piece of news was confirmation that a Shovel Night sequel is also in development. 211 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.519 Shovel of Hope DX is coming to Steam and it features a number of enhancements 212 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.080 that weren't present in the original Shovel Night. To start, gamers can choose 213 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.919 between twenty playable characters from Shovel from Shovel Night and Shield Night to their adversary, 214 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.000 the Enchantress. Those aren't simply got cosmetic changes, as each character has 215 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.960 their own abilities in play style. The game is also adding a rewind function 216 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.360 as well as three hundred sheets that can be applied for a unique gameplay experience. 217 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.879 Additionally, Shovel of Hope DX will include challenge stages, Custom Knight, 218 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.279 and the Battle Ghost Arena, while as full stereoscopic three D online and local 219 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.200 multiplayer options are also supported. Shovel Knight I Think I originally played on the 220 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.279 three DS EMA so it's like, yeah, it would have three D support 221 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.120 built in. I wonder, like how anyone would take advantage of that other 222 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:18.720 than on a three DS but fair enough. The other thing was for the 223 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.799 sequel, where Sean Velasco, a designer for Yacht Club Games, said that 224 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:27.600 it will feature a groundbreaking innovative gameplay mechanic or mechanics excuse me, before adding 225 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:33.240 that it will bring Shovel Night into an entirely new dimension of gaming. So 226 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.600 they're teasing a three D Shove Night here. That's what I was going to 227 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.559 say too. Yeah. For a long time, I've been like, hey, 228 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.320 yeah, they should make Shovel Night sixty four. One of my favorite 229 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:47.519 things that any developers do is, here is a new franchise. Here's a 230 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.159 two D game that's simple and is a throwback to retroesthetics. Isn't that fun? 231 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.120 And I'm like, yes, that's great. And then they're like, 232 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.600 and here's the sequel. It's a three D first person shooter that builds on 233 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:02.159 that and still has retroesthetics, but from a few years later. I love 234 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.519 that. I really appreciate when developers can like have like we can tell a 235 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:08.039 story. It's one of the reasons that that UFO fifty game is so exciting 236 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.319 because they're like, yeah, we made fifty games, but it's it's from 237 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.079 a fictional UFO console that existed for real, and it has its own internal 238 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.359 like a logic to going from one game to the next, where it's like 239 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.000 the gameplay mechanics built on one top on top of one another. And some 240 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.200 characters show up in one game and they show up in the sequel or they're 241 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.759 making they make cameos and other games. I love that, uh. And 242 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:36.279 so I also just like the idea of a studio being like we made Shovel 243 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.640 Night, and now we could make more Shovel Nights and we have what would 244 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.079 be a big successor, and I'm like, yes, a three D game, 245 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.480 let's do it. Is this exciting to you? Oh? Totally in 246 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:48.880 the vein of a Mario sixty four, as you say, where it's like 247 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.440 basically again, you you've got And I like Shovele Night very much, and 248 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:57.279 I'm very excited about y'all. I love a rewind feature. Yeah, to 249 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.400 me, it is not it is not cheating. It is a you know 250 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.200 what, I don't feel like reloading this save. I'm just going to rewind 251 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:08.440 and correct my mistakes. The other thing that's really really helpful with rewind is 252 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:15.160 if you are learning to speed run, then using the rewind function is very 253 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.160 helpful for you know, constantly repeating stuff instead of having to create save states 254 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.119 that exist in a place where you're trying to pull off a particular maneuver. 255 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.119 But yes, I'm totally totally with you that this is the right move. 256 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:33.880 Give me those kind of blocky, pixelated N sixty four graphics and yeah, 257 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:40.160 three D. I mean, you know, we've we've talked extensively about how 258 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.960 a good three D platformer really slaps a la astro. So yeah, this, 259 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.519 this would be super rad. Yeah, it just I have a lot 260 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.480 of faith in the studio to know what makes Shovel Night's fun and being able 261 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.319 to translate that into three D. It'll be a challenge, and I think 262 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.039 they're up to and this is a team that also takes their time, so 263 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:02.400 I'm not expecting to say anytime soon. Speaking of which, both of these 264 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.279 projects do not have release dates. And I think Mina the Hollower or other 265 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.680 game that is like that Game Boy Colors Zelda looking game where you play as 266 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.759 like a little like vole or something that can like burrow under the ground and 267 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.799 pop out. It's a lot of fun. From what I played at I 268 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:21.039 think was the Game Awards or maybe Packs a few months back. Either way, 269 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:22.599 it's like I had a good time with that game. It was really 270 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.759 impressive, and I'm like, Okay, maybe that could come out in twenty 271 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.279 twenty four. Still, well, I don't think they gave it a date, 272 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.440 so so all of their things are still kind of in a holding pattern. 273 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.920 I'm glad they came out and announced these things, but I'm also glad 274 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.920 that they just take their time. Shovel Knight has been a very successful game. 275 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.599 I hope that they are able to turn that into them working at their 276 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.799 own pace. And so yeah, I don't expect to see Shovel Night sixty 277 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.799 four or whatever it turns into the three D game for several years now. 278 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.279 But yeah, I'm just kind of happy to hear that they're working on that. 279 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:57.880 That is, it gets me reinvigorated for Shovel Knight in general. All 280 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.839 right, let's get this next one. Todd Howard discussed his next Fallout game 281 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.759 and how Bethesta is in no rush to make it. This from Darren Bonteus 282 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.559 at GameSpot with a well received TV adaptation leading to a resurgence and popularity for 283 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.960 the Fallout video games. Twenty twenty four has been a pretty good year so 284 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.839 far for Bethesda, now that a second season of Fallout has been green lighted 285 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.759 and the expectation for Fallout five is higher than ever, but Bethesda's Todd Howard 286 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.799 says that there are no plans to rush out a new mainline Fallout game just 287 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:33.519 yet. Thanks to the ongoing popularity of Fallout seventy six, new DLC for 288 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.839 the game has just launched, the company plans to bring the franchise back in 289 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.119 a more meaningful way. Here's one of the quotes for other Fallout games in 290 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.920 the future. You know, obviously I can't talk about those right now, 291 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.319 but I would say sort of rushing through them, or we need to get 292 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.880 stuff out that is different than the work we're doing on seventy six. You 293 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.880 know, we don't feel like we need to rush any of that. Two 294 00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:59.200 players right now, Howard said in an interview with Mister Maddy Plays shout out 295 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.279 to Maddie forgetting the end interview. The Fallout TV show fills a certain niche 296 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.359 in terms of the franchise and storytelling. I totally get the desire for a 297 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.599 new kind of mainline single player game. Look, those things take time. 298 00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:12.640 I don't think it's bad. It's bad for people to miss things. We 299 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:18.400 just want to get it right and make sure that everything we're doing is yeah, 300 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.960 is good for the franchise, whether it's Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or 301 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.640 Starfield, and that those become meaningful moments for everybody who love these franchises as 302 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.119 much as we do. This is kind of where my expectations have been since 303 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.960 this whole fallout of research its has happened to Emma, where it would be 304 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.640 nice to have a new Fallout game, but let's let's be very realistic. 305 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.000 That is just not in the cards anytime soon. It's not right and what 306 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.440 they have. What they have is Fallout seventy six doing very well and growing, 307 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.839 and Fallout four selling a lot of copies, so it's not like they 308 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.759 didn't have anything. They are taking advantage of the Fallout TV show. They 309 00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.880 are making extra money. Maybe it's not as much as if they had a 310 00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:03.279 new one, but again, they just weren't going to be able to make 311 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.359 a new one right. No, and it's interesting the TV show at all 312 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.759 because you know, I've joked about how oh I bet they really wish that 313 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.880 they had a new Fallout game for people to play right now, and in 314 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.359 some ways, when the show first launched and there was this resurgence and interest 315 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.519 in follow if they had had a game to launch right then and there, 316 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.720 then that would have been the ideal situation. However, what they have instead 317 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:33.160 is that people are returning to the franchise, People are giving Fallout seventy six 318 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:38.160 another chance. The weird thing is, in some ways this almost is just 319 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.920 going to make them rest on their laurels a little more. You know, 320 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.640 the show was very well received, It's been renewed for a second season. 321 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:53.799 You know, they're keeping Fallout in the public conversation, so there's almost less 322 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.920 need for them to come out with a new Fallout game right away. Yep. 323 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.240 It's uh. I think that they were proven that, yeah, Fallout 324 00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:06.640 seventy six is enough. It can fill that desire that players have for the 325 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.720 most part, and so we should just rely on that. That said, 326 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.759 like, Okay, they're not rushing into a new one. They're not going 327 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:18.440 to rush through and release a new Manlind one. But to me that answer 328 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:23.000 does not negate the possibility that they are fast tracking some sort of Fallout project 329 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:29.960 from somewhere right that's probably still happening. Yoh, yeah, I would think 330 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:32.880 so. I don't know, But again it's like, it is this really 331 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:41.519 interesting thing. As I say, they are in a nice situation wherein Fallout 332 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.920 is going to remain in the public conversation. So I don't know so much 333 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:52.319 if it's a rushing of it, as it is a it's staying in the 334 00:23:52.359 --> 00:24:00.079 conversation. We're getting towards maybe eventually having news of its existence. And so 335 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.160 maybe it seems like they've kind of fast tracked things here because of the success 336 00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:07.160 of the show. But who's to really say, yeah, right, it's 337 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.920 the kind of thing where you know, we've heard like, yeah, Microsoft 338 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.519 would love there to be a new Fallout much faster than the promises from Todd 339 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.880 Howard at the moment, and of course they would. They see the numbers, 340 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.039 They know how powerful and that that show has been in terms of a 341 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.480 marketing juggernaut, and they probably do feel like they were leaving money on the 342 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:32.240 table. But it's a big undertaking, and you know, even if they 343 00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:37.839 started right away when they realized what was happening. We're talking four years before 344 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.680 they're able to get a game out that's any good at all. So so 345 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.640 yeah, I'm I'm curious to see, like when we look back in a 346 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:45.839 couple of years and we're like, oh, this is what they were doing 347 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.960 with the Fallout after the show came out. I'm very curious to get to 348 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.440 that moment because i want to see what that looks like, because I'm sure 349 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.519 that this has had ramifications on the decisions made appathest to and Microsoft recently. 350 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:03.240 It's just those decisions, aren't let's just like drop everything and make a Fallout 351 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:08.079 mainline sequel right away? At least according to Todd Howard. Yeah, again, 352 00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:15.240 it's you know, we're talking about a company that makes a selection of 353 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.519 video games, all of them are very large, and I don't think they're 354 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.480 quite ready to give up on Starfield No, no, yeah, yeah. 355 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.960 They got that first DLC, which fans seem to be pretty excited about, 356 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:32.079 so Shattered Space, I believe. All right, let's take a quick break 357 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.200 when we get back. A lot more headlines to get into, including what 358 00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:38.039 was the best selling game on PS five last May? Yeah, this past 359 00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.400 May, it was an Xbox game. We'll get to that right after this. 360 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.599 All right, we are back and as promised, more headlines xboxes. 361 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.480 C IF Thieves was PS five's most downloaded game in May. I should say 362 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.880 this is from Tom Ivan at VGC. Microsoft's DF Thieves was the most downloaded 363 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:04.799 PlayStation five game in both the US and Europe last month. That's according to 364 00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:10.240 Sony, which has published monthly top twenty charts for PS five and PS four 365 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:14.960 in both regions on the PlayStation Blog. While it already had a strong foothold 366 00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:19.039 on rival platforms thanks to perennial bestsellers Call of Duty and Minecraft, Xbox recently 367 00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:23.640 announced plans to bring additional titles to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, starting with Pentiment, 368 00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.279 Hi Fi, Rush, CF Thieves, and Grounded. Last month's PS 369 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:32.640 five download chart in Europe and the US both included four Microsoft owned games in 370 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.599 the top twenty. In addition to chart topper CF Thieves, Grounded and Call 371 00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.839 of Duty, moder War for three and Fallout four appeared on both lists. 372 00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.920 Let's see Minecraft also topped the PS four download charts in both Europe and in 373 00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.559 the US in May. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spitzer said he wouldn't ever want 374 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.240 to rule out any game coming to another platform, and it was recently claimed 375 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:57.680 that Xbox is considering bringing a newly remastered version of even Halo Combat Evolved to 376 00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:03.920 PlayStation that's the most recent rumor. Yeah, we've had this conversation. But 377 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.400 this does feel like now we are fully on the other side here where the 378 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:14.279 numbers are undeniable, that you sort of can't put this twothpaste back in the 379 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.079 tube because this is too much money to ignore. Actually, if you're going 380 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.680 to have one of the best selling games, if not the most downloaded game 381 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.839 for the PlayStation five in the last couple of months, that yeah, they're 382 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.000 going to keep doing this right, Oh yeah, oh one hundred percent. 383 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:36.480 It's super interesting because a lot of the conversations have been around studios that have 384 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:44.240 had exclusivity with Sony bringing their titles to other platforms. But here we're literally 385 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:51.319 seeing Microsoft bringing their games to Sony platforms and them doing extremely well. So, 386 00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:52.920 as you say, if they don't continue to do that, it's just 387 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:59.519 leaving money on the table, and they're simply not going to leave money lying 388 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:02.400 around that they could be making. Not these days. Yeah, there was 389 00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.400 there was definitely a time uh several years ago, and then of course for 390 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:10.599 the multiple generations and consoles before that, where they're like, there that was 391 00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:12.480 the cost of doing business, the cost of marketing your machine and making it 392 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:18.680 feel special. It was was exclusives, and both companies have seemed to lose 393 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.200 their their taste for that more and more to varying degrees. Obviously, the 394 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:27.039 Xbox much more like willing to put games on PlayStation than Sony is for putting 395 00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.400 stuff at least on Switch. But you know, we did get Lego Horizon 396 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:36.000 Adventures developed by developed by Gorilla, not developed by Travelers Tales developed by a 397 00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:41.200 first party Sony studio going over to Nintado Switch. Obviously we had the MLB 398 00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.599 games have that happened before, but that was like an MLB initiative. This 399 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.920 year was like now, Sony just sees an opportunity and they I think they 400 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.480 got to themselves into a room and they're like, why would why shouldn't we 401 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.119 do this? Why wouldn't we do this? And they had no good answers, 402 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.559 and I think that is where we're at. There's no good answers for 403 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.480 keeping the off the other devices because it doesn't feel like it's going to change 404 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.480 the reality of how the consoles sell or perform. And then they had several 405 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:12.079 very good reasons, which were, we make more money. So yeah, 406 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:18.000 this feels like the experiment has worked so us getting to Summer Game Fest, 407 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:23.519 hearing Phil Spencer saying interviews that we would see this happen more with more games. 408 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:27.640 Just not very surprising. Do you think though, that they do Halo 409 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:33.799 Combat Evolved or any version of Halo on PlayStations That one feels a little weird. 410 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:41.920 That one. I'm more on the side of no, because to me 411 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:45.160 that this is going to be a very weird analogy. To me, that 412 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:49.599 feels like putting a Mario game on a non Nintendo. That's exactly how it 413 00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:55.559 feels. Because I feel like master Cheap is the mascot of xbox Yep, 414 00:29:55.839 --> 00:30:00.519 yeah, that's exactly right. So it is the one that feels the strangest 415 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:04.920 and and you know, not to defend like list war fanboys that argue with 416 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:11.519 each other constantly, but like there is something to be said for they buy 417 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.880 into the power of their system because they can say when I own it, 418 00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.359 I'm special because I get access to these games. The console makes it makes 419 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.400 them feel special, and I think we've seen with the Xbox that sort of 420 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.039 fall apart because the games have felt less special because they are already available in 421 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:32.279 more places and now they're available on PlayStation. So, you know, holding 422 00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.759 on to a couple of these franchises as this is still what makes Xbox as 423 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:41.440 a platform as a hardware platform special, that has value still, But does 424 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:47.839 that value overcome actual monetary value. I don't know, and I'm not sure, 425 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:49.640 right, and it's maybe maybe, Emma, they get to a point 426 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.880 where they're like, let's rip the band aid off, right, right, 427 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.440 Like, yeah, let's just say even Halo so that people know. And 428 00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:02.359 then after after Halo goes over to PlayStation, this conversation's done. This is 429 00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.559 just the way it is. Until that, though, It's like there's some 430 00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.519 question of like, well, is there a red line that they won't cross? 431 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.319 And I, you know, I'm of the opinion that they'll cross any 432 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.680 line eventually if it makes sense for them financially. But then even like feigning 433 00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:21.039 or suggesting that there is still a line can keep people guessing for a little 434 00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.039 bit. But but yeah, I don't know, what what do you think 435 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.319 is more likely Halo? The bandit gets pulled off or they keep pushing kicking 436 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:32.039 that can down the road, and we get to the end of this generation 437 00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:37.759 and Halo is still exclusive to Xbox. Yeah, I can't. This is 438 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.079 tough for me too, I really don't. It is a very tough call, 439 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:48.160 I am. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna swing hard here and say 440 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:56.200 that it's staying on Microsoft related platforms. They're not quite ready to give up 441 00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.920 the console wars yet. Yeah. I think that they will find an oper 442 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:05.720 tune moment that where they can like minimize what though the perceived damage would be 443 00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.880 or something. But yeah, I think that takes a couple of years. 444 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:13.279 You're probably right. Yeah, all right, let's see here. Next story, 445 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.359 massa Hero Sakarai says he's recorded his final YouTube video. This is from 446 00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:22.880 Andy Robinson at VGC. Super Smash Brothers director Massa Hero Sakarai has recorded his 447 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.319 final YouTube video, he has said. Since twenty twenty two, the game 448 00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:30.119 designer has run his own YouTube channel named mass Hero Sakarai on Creating Games, 449 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:35.119 in which he shares game design tips. At the time of publishing, the 450 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.480 channel has more than five hundred and eighty thousand subscribers. Earlier this year, 451 00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:43.599 Sakari announced on social media that he would be winding down the channel after two 452 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.920 years of publishing videos now. In a further update shared on Saturday, the 453 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:52.839 designer confirmed that he'd recorded its final episode. However, Sakri said it will 454 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:55.359 be a while before the video is published. Or Earlier this year, Sakri 455 00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:00.519 said he was still creating games for the time being, despite previously claiming in 456 00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.480 twenty twenty two that he was a semi retired following the release of Super Smash 457 00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.759 Brothers Ultimate Final DLC character As for me, I'm still creating games for the 458 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:13.200 time being, but I'm also making this YouTube channel. I've never done anything 459 00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:16.440 like this before, so in a way you could say, I'm I haven't 460 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:22.599 exactly stayed put either. I am curious if we should be reading into this 461 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.559 anymore, Emma, as is this Sakarai getting back on the saddle for the 462 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:34.119 next Smash Brothers game. I hope so right. It's very easy to like 463 00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.960 for us to create those links in our head and all that, and that 464 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:42.319 is where my brain goes first. The reality is he could just as well 465 00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.680 be like this is it. I made the videos. I wanted to make. 466 00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:50.480 I had a certain set of ideas I wanted to share. I have 467 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.960 now fully explained my process in my thinking, and I don't need to start 468 00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:59.279 repeating myself for trying to drill down deeper on these topics. The content is 469 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.119 out there, channels done. I'm moving on to another project, and that 470 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.320 project isn't necessarily getting back into doing another Smash Brothers or making a game for 471 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.480 Nintendo. Even so, Yeah, at the same time, I mean, 472 00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:14.199 it would make some sense. I don't know, I know, I know, 473 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.440 I mean, And he came from Kirby originally, so we got a 474 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.400 new Kirby game in the last couple of years, obviously, wasn't him because 475 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:27.000 he's been very busy with Smash. We were getting a lot of Kirby games. 476 00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.440 Yes, Kirby Kirby seems to go on just fine without him at this 477 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.760 point. It is. He was like sort of champion kid it Chris there 478 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.400 on the three DS, and he was involved in k Icarus uprisings at the 479 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:43.800 name of that game, and that game could easily get a remaster at any 480 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:45.679 point too. That could show up at the direct Frankly, we'll see, 481 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:53.119 But I don't know if if Sakarai is like, hey, I need to 482 00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:55.920 go back and make another Kid a Chris game after doing that three DS one, 483 00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:00.280 or if I need to do another Smash Brothers after Ultimate, which he 484 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:05.440 very much positioned as this is the final expression of what this thing is going 485 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:09.679 to be. But he did say during the development of Ultimate that he didn't 486 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:14.320 really have time to sort of do a mentoring process for bringing up someone new 487 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:17.760 to oversee the franchise going forward. So I wouldn't be surprised if, like 488 00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:22.239 he is moving on to a project where it is, yeah, I'm making 489 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.679 the next Smash Brothers game, but what I'm really doing is standing back and 490 00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:30.679 letting other people learn some learn some lessons so that they can actually take that 491 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.519 franchise over going into the future and I can fully wash my hands of it. 492 00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:37.960 I think I do believe that Sakari probably will get involved in that process, 493 00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:43.920 but whether that's happening now or not, who knows. It would again 494 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.360 makes some sense because they probably want to get a Smash Brothers game on the 495 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.679 switch to in the next several years, and maybe they've already started that process. 496 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:57.159 They probably honestly already have started that process, and maybe now sacrist like, 497 00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:59.199 Okay, I'll come, I'll come take a look at it and get 498 00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:00.920 involved. I don't know, lazy. Yeah, I mean, as you 499 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:07.960 say, they're not gonna launch a switch To without some promise of a smash 500 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:13.000 coming in the near future. So that's certainly something that could be happening. 501 00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.559 Yep. Yeah, and yes, Tom Pain says Super Smash Brother's Ultimate Deluxe 502 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.559 is almost certainly going to be what that Smash Brothers game on the switch To 503 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.960 looks like in the first year of that console's release. So yeah, and 504 00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:28.159 they could They could ride that for as long as they rode Mario Kart eight 505 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:30.719 Deluxe, So we'll see what that ends us looking like still riding it. 506 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:35.679 Oh, yes, and they will be for a while. Embracer is closing 507 00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.840 Alone in the Dark studio Pieces Interactive. This is from Tom Ivan at VGC. 508 00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:44.559 Embracer Group is closing Pieces Interactive, the studio behind it's recent Alone in 509 00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.519 the Dark reboot and an image published on its website. The studio wrote Pieces 510 00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:52.840 Interactive twenty seven to twenty twenty four, thanks for playing with us. The 511 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:58.000 image was accompanied by a short history of the Sfulke, Sweden based studio. 512 00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.719 Pieces Interactive released over ten titles on PC, console, and mobile since two 513 00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:07.320 thousand and seven, both our own concepts such as Puzzle ged In, Fretneice, 514 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.440 Leviathan Warships, Robosurf, and Kill to Collect, as well as work 515 00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:15.559 for hire titles such as Magica two and several DLCs for Magica. It said. 516 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:21.599 Our client list includes Paradox Interactive, Coe Techmo, Arrowhead Game Studio, 517 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:27.320 Coke Media, and Race Room Entertainment. In twenty seventeen, Pieces Interactive were 518 00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:32.119 acquired by Embraser Group after working with the expansion for titan Quest titan Quest Ragnarok 519 00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:39.239 and the third expansion for titan Quest titan Quest Atlantis. This is the latest 520 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:44.559 example of this happening across the industry. Of course, also happening under the 521 00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:50.039 Embracer umbrella of a studio putting out a game it underperforming in that studio getting 522 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:53.239 closed down or you know, they've closed on several studios that even even haven't 523 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.320 had a chance to put out a game yet. So this is Embracer just 524 00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:01.199 being like, Okay, we got to save on cost for cutting another studio, 525 00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:06.039 and it stinks that that alone. In the Dark Game Emma, it 526 00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.480 did come and go. I don't really know anyone who's played it, and 527 00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:13.400 yet, excuse man, I don't know what the expectations were for that game 528 00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:17.079 from Embracer. It is coming out into a world with Resident Evils and and 529 00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:23.119 a kind of a resurgence of survival horror across several scopes. So, you 530 00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:27.239 know, I don't know why they put big expectations on this thing. But 531 00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:31.039 it thinks that the studio is closing down. Yeah, I mean, everybody 532 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:36.679 in chat is saying that game came out yep, yep, it really did. 533 00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:38.199 I haven't. I never even really touched it. I meant too. 534 00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:42.960 It's got you know, it had David Harbor in it right, like they 535 00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:47.280 were going for something. But I clearly it didn't hit what it was going 536 00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:52.440 for in terms of those expectations. But I just really wish that they would 537 00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:55.039 have recognized that the expectations were alone and alone in the dark game that was 538 00:38:55.079 --> 00:39:00.119 going to be mostly mediocre, just fine at best. We never couldn't have 539 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:06.320 have been that high. Oh yeah, as you say, unless you're going 540 00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:16.079 ground up like Resident Evil two three four remakes, there's just the market for 541 00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:23.519 an okay re release or even Death Space. There's just no market for a 542 00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:30.599 fine reimagining, remaster, et cetera of a horror game. Yeah, a 543 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:34.079 game that's trying to like do what the Resident Evil games are doing right now, 544 00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:38.679 but not nearly as well. There's obviously a lot of space in that 545 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:45.400 genre for smaller low five games that are that are interesting and look weird. 546 00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.719 I think that's what we're seeing from Blumhouse, Like that is their whole mo 547 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.800 o, the announcing Blumbhouse Games. Here's a bunch of smaller titles, and 548 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.000 I think that could have worked for a Loone in the Dark. But you 549 00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:58.920 know, Highsight twenty twenty, I get that, Like we're coming in here 550 00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:02.480 armchair analysis for this one. Mostly mostly just feel bad for the studio. 551 00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:08.119 Yeah, and I've been curious about this game. I might eventually check it 552 00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:10.199 out. I was gonna. I was planning to check it out later this 553 00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:15.840 year for Halloween. But we'll see. And then of course a similar story, 554 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:19.320 Wizard with a Gun developer Galvanic Games is also closing down. This is 555 00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:23.800 from Jordan Miller at BGC Galvanic Games. The studio behind Wizard with a Gun 556 00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:28.880 is shutting down, posting to x or Twitter. As some might still call 557 00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:31.000 it. President and founder Patrick Morgan wrote, with a heavy heart, I 558 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:36.559 announced the closure of Galvinic Games. Despite claiming that Wizard with a Gun got 559 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.000 off to a promising start, sales of the title were not enough to sustain 560 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:44.360 the studio. I may never get over the irony of spending a decade building 561 00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:47.079 my ideal team, only for it to end after our most productive year. 562 00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:52.280 Morgan wrote, the dedication, creativity, and hard work of every person on 563 00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:57.079 our team has been nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you for the support and 564 00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.679 memories. We are grateful for the journey and hope that our paths will cross 565 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:06.000 again in the future. This is not an embrac or story. This is 566 00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.239 the other story of like you could have a team kind of hitting their stride 567 00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:14.559 putting out games, but it is so there are so many games being put 568 00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:19.159 out that it's very easy for something to be like lost in the shuffle and 569 00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:22.519 then in the past, not in the past. In the several years leading 570 00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:24.000 up to the moment that we're in now, you could have been like, 571 00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:28.480 well, look, this team is really working well together. Let's give it 572 00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:31.159 a couple more gos. You could have found the money to keep that team 573 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:35.599 going. That is not happening now. The money is not out there. 574 00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:38.239 Investment has dried up for a lot of these kinds of studios, and so 575 00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:44.400 another team shutting down, and it's like, I don't know what the answer 576 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:45.679 is to any of this, Emma. If it felt like, oh yeah, 577 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:47.400 well, when they had cheap money to borrow, that at least gave 578 00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:51.000 them a chance to keep it going and they could have another bite at the 579 00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:53.159 apple. But here we are where it's like, Nope, this is the 580 00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:57.960 way it kind of was before that low interest rate period for a couple for 581 00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:00.800 several years, and then how we're back into like what seems like the natural 582 00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:06.239 state of Boy, it's hard to make money making video games. I mean, 583 00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:12.559 it's across the entertainment industry. It feels like we're seeing you know, 584 00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:20.559 a lot of the conversation around the writers strike that happened last year, was 585 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:24.159 that a lot. You know, previously, when you were staffed on a 586 00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:32.559 TV show, almost certainly that show would get a couple of seasons, it 587 00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:37.760 would have some time to find its stride. But that just doesn't happen anymore. 588 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:45.559 And also, in the like Netflix framework of it all, they are 589 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:52.159 constantly releasing new shows. The vast majority of which never make it beyond a 590 00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:58.280 second season. And it feels like now it's getting even harder to get that 591 00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:02.960 second season. And the problem is they're not making these shows for no money. 592 00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:06.280 It's the same thing with video games. They're not making them for no 593 00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:09.840 money. Which is why looking at, as you mentioned earlier, the Blumhouse 594 00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:15.400 model, they have specifically stated and this is Blumhouse's model for making horror films 595 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:21.199 as well. Right, none of those films have budgets of I think now 596 00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:27.639 it's three million is their cap? Wow? Okay? And for I believe 597 00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:30.159 in the very early days of Blumhouse their cap is a million. Yes. 598 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:37.000 So you're looking at these things that are giving people an opportunity to try something. 599 00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:43.800 And the problem is is when you do have these independent studios. That's 600 00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:46.440 the thing that's nice about Blumhouse is it's part of a bigger entity. When 601 00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:53.199 you are an independent studio, you are beholden to your investors, and investors 602 00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:59.480 are just like Nope, didn't make enough money by yep, and like you 603 00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:05.639 know, they're there was a time where the promise of acquisition was so ripe 604 00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.400 that these investors would be like Okay, well we're already pot committed. You 605 00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:12.280 need more money. We are investing again, let's get a few more points 606 00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.000 on our ownership here, so that when you do sell, we can expect 607 00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.679 an even bigger return. It's just worth it to us because again we're pot 608 00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:23.119 committed. That is also that's really greatly shifted. So the investors that we're 609 00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:29.039 probably there before aren't coming back for a second round because they're like, acquisitions 610 00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:31.360 have really cooled off. The money that people would have borrowed to make those 611 00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:35.559 acquisitions is also hard to come by, just like it is for us to 612 00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:37.760 actually give you money to invest in the first place. So all along the 613 00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:44.760 stack it is sort of gone bad for these kinds of studios. So does 614 00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:46.559 that mean that we can expect fewer indie games? I think that's the thing. 615 00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:51.880 It feels like indie games get made because people have an idea and a 616 00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.960 passion and a craving to make these things. So no, I think we're 617 00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:58.760 going to continue to get a ton of indie games. So it's not even 618 00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.599 like the thing that happens with inflation right where it's like, well, you 619 00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:04.760 know, wages were going up a lot, and it's like, man, 620 00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:07.480 that's great that's great. That's great anyway, but if it could be good 621 00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:09.960 if it slowed down where it's like, that'd be nice if they like things 622 00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:13.519 slowed down a little bit, because that means inflation might cool off, if 623 00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:15.280 people stop getting pay increases. And say, Okay, well that sounds like 624 00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:17.960 it sucks, but I get what you're saying. I understand why that is 625 00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.679 also maybe a good thing. Here. It's like, well, maybe there 626 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:24.679 will be fewer indie games getting made, so the ones that do still get 627 00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:30.199 made have a better chance of survival now that that is not going to happen. 628 00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:32.639 So so it's going to continue to be a mess out there. The 629 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:37.920 indie Pocalypse is ongoing as always, and it will be a few games rise 630 00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:42.400 to the top and everyone else sort of gets lost in the shuffle. And 631 00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:44.800 there was a time where it's like you could have made the argument, well, 632 00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:46.000 our next game, our next game, this team's really good, can 633 00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:50.199 we get some more money. That's not happening anymore either, So it still 634 00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.760 be like Elvana Kstagat has to shut down totally. I mean, it's exactly 635 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:58.079 what you're saying. There's and this is also kind of related to what we 636 00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:04.039 were talking about with Alone in the Dark, that there are so so many 637 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:14.480 games that something's gotta click for you to get that kind of recognition because you're 638 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:19.440 in an insanely competitive market. Yep. Not every game is going to be 639 00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.079 at the Bilatro, most are or not going to be far from it. 640 00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.719 All right, I think that does it for the news. I have a 641 00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.960 pull question coming up here in a second. Well, I get that ready, 642 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.960 Emma, why don't you tell people where they can find you what you 643 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:37.280 have going on all that good stuff? Well, you can find me at 644 00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:44.519 my name on the internet. It's Emma Fife. I don't go on social 645 00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:47.079 media a whole lot. And you know what, my life's so much nicer 646 00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:52.760 for it. And you can find what is, in fact my cat laying 647 00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:55.519 on the couch behind me. That's not the one who y'all usually see. 648 00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:00.400 That's my other cat l That is not a conveniently placed pillow. That is 649 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:06.840 a cat. And uh yeah, you can find my face talking at you 650 00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:09.960 on various dot fandom dot com wikis. I think right now it's about Bridgerton 651 00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:19.440 and that's that's what's going on with me. Man. Hell yeah, like 652 00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.639 you said, we have more embargoed games from Summer Game Fest that we'll talk 653 00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:28.800 about somewhere eventually, probably on this show. If not BombCast proper or whatever, 654 00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:32.280 we'll find some time for it. I'm realizing we didn't put up the 655 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:37.920 poll question because Jam's gone, So I'll put this up now and then we 656 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:43.079 will discuss it on Wednesday show because I'm still interested in the answer to this 657 00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.440 one. Where are you buying Lego Horizon Adventures? Are you buying it on 658 00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:50.920 PlayStation switch, PC? Or I'm not buying it? All? Right, 659 00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:57.400 there is that's going up now. I've posted buying it though grub because you 660 00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.559 know, you basically went super saying over it exactly. Yeah, I lost 661 00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:05.039 my mind for that game, and I'm proud of it, proud Lego Horizon 662 00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:08.239 Adventures. Stan. There's the pull question. Now, we'll get to that 663 00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:13.199 on Wednesday's show. Oh nope, let me think care.
