00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:14.800
Oh you know a gummy beer.
It's the internet. You're busy. Let's

2
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.559
do this for September twenty twenty twenty
three. For the next hour or so,

3
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.879
let me help you sort through the
world of gaming on gamess Mornings Live

4
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.039
with Me Jeff Grubb. Today,
Phil Spencer tries to clean up the Xbox

5
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.800
League and like a Dragon is coming
very soon, but first please join me

6
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.960
and welcoming today's co host, a
Game Mess Mornings. It's Lucy James.

7
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.240
Everybody, Lucy, how are you
doing? Oh I'm tired. I'm tired

8
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.960
deaf? Okay, so, like
an alarm was going off, as in

9
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:48.640
like it was what was it like
or a bell? You know what?

10
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.880
You know what. I even took
a little I took a little video.

11
00:00:51.439 --> 00:01:02.000
Okaya, is it picking up?
I'm not it might not because if Discord's

12
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:08.120
noise dampening thing, Discord won't allow
it. But no, we'll imagine it.

13
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:14.359
And I went to bed at like
ten last night, and so it

14
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.959
was miserable and I just lay awake
and then I woke up a get it

15
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.959
too, and it was still going
great, great bananas. You're just kind

16
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:23.319
of like waiting for the janitor to
come. Out with like the Little Keys

17
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.480
and go Bee Baby and turn it
off and stuff. But yeah, that's

18
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.120
right, nothing, it was wild. But anyway, other than that,

19
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:36.000
I'm good. Was in la A
last week, you were how is that?

20
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.159
So? Played Spider Man? And
I can now finally say that I

21
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.560
played Alan Wake, but I can't
talk about that yet, but I can

22
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:48.000
say that I played it, and
I also played something else, a mystery

23
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.519
game you'll have to wait to see. Eventually, one day you'll be able

24
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.840
to talk about all three things that
happened independent of one another in la that

25
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.920
same week. But right now,
I mean, we talked a lot of

26
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.200
out Spider Man with Tam on BombCast. But I'm interested because I you know,

27
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.640
we've seen a lot of trailers for
this, and we always come out

28
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.719
of those trailers in those showcases in
the state of Place being like, yeah,

29
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.639
it looks like more Spider Man,
And no, I don't think anyone

30
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.919
tries to mean that in a mean
way. Tam even said they it's like,

31
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.000
it's hard to say that without sounding
negative. But what else are they

32
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.080
going to do with that? And
that's kind of still what I want,

33
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.560
And I know I'm gonna be excited
once I'm playing it. How do you

34
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.840
feel when you've got your hands on
it? So straight off, the bat

35
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:37.759
spider Man is a character he's not
really ever been in my favorite I prefer

36
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:44.479
my superheroes with a lot more mental
illness. So I'm Batman loyal. Whereas

37
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.719
Spider Man I found him. I
find him just a little too. He's

38
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:52.759
got diet mental illness, right,
he's like just me kindness. He's working

39
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.719
into it, like slowly, like
it's taking him at a time to really

40
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.759
trying to break his psyche. I
could just see, I could just see

41
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.560
John go. He's just double boy. He's say that in chat. It's

42
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:07.000
cute. I don't know, so
yeah, So like I don't know,

43
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.599
I've not really connected Spider Man.
I don't have a lot of touch points

44
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:14.479
with Spider Man. However, I
did really enjoy Miles Morales, I guess

45
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.840
more so than the original twenty eighteen
Spider Man because it was a more short

46
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.919
to contain experience, and I like
I like Miles more than more than Pizza,

47
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.479
because I like Miles is kind of
like story, more like the fact

48
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.360
that he is so involved in his
community more, whereas Peter is just like

49
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.080
I think as well, I hate
repetition. You know that. You know

50
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.639
I've said this to you before.
You know. You know Will Ferrell's character

51
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.319
in Austin Powers how he can't he
can't bear being asked the same thing three

52
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.039
times. Yeah, I can't.
I can't do Spider Man's origins again.

53
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.639
I can't do that again. I
can't do that again. I like,

54
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.879
and it feels to me just because
I'm like the Venom stuff, I'm like

55
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.319
worried about that as well. I
know they're gonna like mix it up,

56
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.439
but it's still's basically like hitting the
notes, right, And I think I'm

57
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.960
with you on that. And I
mean, I think I forgive Batman more

58
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.800
because at least in the games they
haven't really dug into it too much.

59
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.000
They've kind of gone straight into the
rogue's gallery, whereas with Spider Man,

60
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.879
because I don't know the law as
much any references, I'm just like I

61
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.639
kind of hang onto a little bit
more. Anyway, that's a very belabored

62
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:16.920
point to say that I'm not really
a big Spider Man fan. I'm sorry.

63
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.160
However, Yes it is. It
is more Spider Man and I And

64
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.600
again I mean that in a good
way, because the twenty eighteen. Game

65
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.800
was fantastic, controls really well,
looks incredible. They have all this new

66
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:32.639
lighting text so it looks so nice. They're leaving PS four behind, right,

67
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.879
this is PS five on night.
Yeah, so I don't know.

68
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.360
Definitely I'm going to get the benefits
of that. It looked really nice.

69
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.560
The one big issue that I had
was I find the game very difficult to

70
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:53.920
like at a glance, pass everything
because it's so busy, and it's like

71
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.839
I would worry about that going forward, especially because stuff gets really hairy,

72
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:03.199
very very quickly in that game.
Sorry, cover with j just put a

73
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:12.920
title up Lucy doesn't like Spider Man, and then parentheses the character. Yeah,

74
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.319
I'm glad. I'm glad that you
got a chance to play, and

75
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.439
kind of like that's but yeah,
you didn't enjoy it enjoyed when I play.

76
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.879
I did enjoy what I play.
I just it's not as hot for

77
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.800
me on the list of games that
are coming out in October because of that,

78
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:29.480
Like, I will play it,
but I'm not just like, oh

79
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:36.360
my god, yeah, anyway you're
gonna be You're gonna be just right at

80
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:45.560
that. But in October hopefully rist
Deep. I don't know, get out.

81
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:54.839
You gotta just get in there.
Yeah, just take a step there

82
00:05:54.839 --> 00:06:00.399
and move on. So, I
don't know, it was was good.

83
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.920
I liked it, as I say. They're also like it is quite funny.

84
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:06.680
They've got the wing suit and I'm
just like, oh, you're just

85
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:13.480
going for the full, the full
Batman Hill. What is that? It's

86
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.120
the biggest fucking gift I've ever seen
in Chat? What is happening? Why

87
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:24.480
it looks so fresh faced? Why
am I wearing the It's just a new

88
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.319
emote? Oh my god, Oh
my god. Chat is fucking insane.

89
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:33.920
Now for laudio listeners, there is
the biggest Chat emote ever of Lucy Jayne.

90
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.720
Jesus. It's like one thousand,
two hundred and eighty by one,

91
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.319
the most HD ship and she's just
waving Ah, what stopped? You can

92
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.879
say that. Okay, that's good
stuff, all right. So the other

93
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:54.800
thing that's happening is review and Bargo
is up for Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven.

94
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.279
The Phantom Liberty, Phantom Liberty,
the Friantom Pain, The Phantom Pain.

95
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.680
Yeah, I played. I played
a little bit of this mostly because I'm

96
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.439
like, I want to get some
use out of this forty ninety and see

97
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:15.480
that path tracing tracing. I my
OLED TV arrived. I have plugged my

98
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.920
forty ninety in over there, thank
you and z XT and holy shit,

99
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:28.560
it's ray tracing is actually kind of
here now, So path tracing real quick.

100
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.920
For people that that don't know most
of that ray tracing you've seen in

101
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:36.079
games, it's going to be reflections, maybe some ambient occlusion stuff, maybe

102
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:41.040
if it's just a few other like
tiny little effects. Really, the whole

103
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.639
idea behind ray tracing, though,
eventually is global illumination. The whole world

104
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.279
is getting treated. It's having its
light treated as if it was a real

105
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.360
object moving through a space, and
you could do global illuminations. So a

106
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.079
light bounces out of a room,
hits an object, you know, takes

107
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.480
on its color, then bounces off
of that and so on. Couple of

108
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.319
times we've had that in a couple
of games, but even in those games,

109
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.839
it never looked the best, and
it didn't look as good as rendered

110
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.439
lighting from an artist, or if
it did, it looked like about even

111
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.360
And the promise was always like,
hey, this is gonna be the next

112
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.920
gen of lighting tech. This is
going to be better lighting and it's like,

113
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.000
well, we'll see. And now
with Nvidio DLSS three point five,

114
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.199
they have this new de nois in
tech that really does amplify the effect of

115
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.039
ray tracing. Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven
Family Liberty is the first game to use

116
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.200
that, and when I was playing
it, I was pretty blown away.

117
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.879
I am very impressed now with this
effect. Now it's one game so far,

118
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.080
so again, I'm not going to
tell you and go get a forty

119
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.360
ninety or forty series card just for
this stuff. But after five years of

120
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.399
being promised ray tracing, to see
it in effect and actually deliver was pretty

121
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.519
cool. And then I started playing
the game and there's some good set pieces

122
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.519
in there. I like a lot
of the stuff that they're doing. I

123
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.960
think that this is a game that
if you enjoyed cyber Punk the base game,

124
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.679
they really distilled it down to the
stuff you're really that you're going to

125
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.039
enjoy even more here. I think, I don't know, you played a

126
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.600
lot more of this and you seem
to really enjoy it. So what would

127
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.480
you say, Well, I love
I loved the original Cyberpunk. I love

128
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:20.120
spies and thrillers. This is very
much a political thriller too, isn't it

129
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.279
like because it's like starts with a
plane crash of the President of the United

130
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.840
States or the New United States.
The one the only bad thing I can

131
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:35.000
say about it. And I feel
uniquely able to comment on this because I

132
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:43.000
have a fucked up accent. Idriss
be British or be American. Stop swapping

133
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.639
in the middle of a fucking sentence. I know how hard it is,

134
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.759
and I do all the time.
My accent is terrible, but it's just

135
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.360
when when all of your tension is
on Idris Elba, I'm just like,

136
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.039
mate, you're taking me all across
the Atlantic. I am going on a

137
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.120
journey with you. Anyway. Interest
Alba lives on it, lives on an

138
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.039
island by himself in the middle of
Atlantic, and that's just what happens.

139
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.399
That's what happens the accents there.
But I'm not it's not interest yet.

140
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.279
So yeah, I'm curious to see
what that's like. Oh you are,

141
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.240
so I'm really early. Yes,
I'm like in that. I'm still in

142
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.559
that first like set piece. Basically
there is a set piece in that that

143
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.679
like, uh, I'll just say
it's a pay where the whole approach to

144
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.759
that level and then actually doing it. I was giggling because they've nailed it

145
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.759
so much. I really really like
it. Yeah, like if you like,

146
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.000
I think people are over those e
three demos of Cyberpunk at this point

147
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.120
where it's like, hey, you're
gonna go and you're gonna have this chance

148
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.679
to like work out this situation however
you want, and the game's gonna respond.

149
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.320
And the Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven turned
out was never actually that game.

150
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.320
It is a bunch of pretty good
writing in a world that looks really nice,

151
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.440
with some characters that animate and look
very well, look really well.

152
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.000
And then on top of that,
it's like a pretty fun action game.

153
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.519
Uh. And then for me it's
like, okay, well, now if

154
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.000
you can have something that is like
just is a DLC that focuses on all

155
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.440
that stuff, and that seems like
what they've made, that's the ideal form

156
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.600
of this. So yeah, I'm
pretty excited now. I mean Gamespots reviews

157
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.039
out can out of ten, so
I just love that stuff. So and

158
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.440
you're like eight nine hours into the
game, Oh wow, okay, and

159
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.960
it's it's bigger. Yeah I thought
it was going to be. So the

160
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:41.960
only elephant in the room is can't
publish footage that we've captured until Monday.

161
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.679
Yeah, we're still embargoed on on
our footage. We were going to do

162
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.080
a quick look Lucy and I and
then uh yeah, so we're kind of

163
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.879
figuring out when we can pull that
off. But yeah, right now,

164
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.600
it's like they have b roll footage. I think if you are you're either

165
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.440
seeing people broken bargo accidentally almost certainly
without knowing it because it was buried in

166
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.679
some some documentation that you couldn't do
this, or you're seen the same Bear

167
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.519
role. So I'm looking forward to
the Digital Foundry going over the tech and

168
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.519
stuff. But I'm sorry, Yeah, I'm very excited. It looks incredible,

169
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.279
Yes, it really, it looks
great. I don't know why they've

170
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.639
done that, honestly, but you
know, it looks great. It plays

171
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.759
well, like all the changes,
like to the skill tree, the way

172
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.279
that like it rewards you just for
doing stuff, which is kind of the

173
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.240
thing that I love about, you
know, games like Wolfenstein, where it

174
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.960
just kind of reinforces behaviors and you
really cleverly they the way you can respect

175
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:39.559
anywhere anytime. The new music is
great. Dogtown is fun. If there

176
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:45.720
is a oh there's a place you
can go, there's them like really really

177
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.840
fun, Like the side gigs are
really good. I'm just like basically gushing

178
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.320
about it now. But I also
have a Blade Runner tattoo, so yeah,

179
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.960
of course I'm going to love something
in a dark it's like but it's

180
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.799
it's like I yeah, I really
enjoyed Cyberpunk at launch, I did not

181
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.679
have. I played on a PS
five on a disc on a disc PS

182
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.000
five using a disc of a PS
four version, and I did not have

183
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.279
That was like many issues in terms
of console play. That was like the

184
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.759
ideal way to play it, right, Yes, incredible PS four version on

185
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.120
PS five, yes, and now
playing on PC and like, I haven't

186
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.120
played the console versions of two point
No. I'm find some thotique can speak

187
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.799
to him, but like, yeah, this is the it's the tits,

188
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.240
guys, It's really good. That's
all I got for you. We'll have

189
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.519
more coverage of it for sure.
I'm excited to play more. Although I

190
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.000
got so much to play, but
I did. I did enjoy what I

191
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.159
played a bit so far. My
my RSI has been very very bad recently

192
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:52.799
as well, which is really shit
you're doing you and stretches and stuff or

193
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.600
what do Yeah? Yeah, I'm
like, yeah, I was kind of

194
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.320
worried about it. All right,
let's explain what we do here most days,

195
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:01.679
I, Jeff Greb, will help
piece your gaming life back together.

196
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.399
That includes breaking news and maybe even
some of our own original reporting for all

197
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.120
these topics up get the input of
a bona fide expert who will make me

198
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.360
look smart. If you were watching

203
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.440
but later. Okay, we have
a lot to get into, so

204
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:37.200
let's start the Morning Mess with Xbox
Boss Phil Spencer addresses Microsoft Mega leak.

205
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.559
Here's what Spencer told employees. This
comes from Arnew Vandevelle. Did you see

206
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.039
that name? Am I anywhere close
to that? Probably not. They're at

207
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:52.240
WCCF Tech No, No, yeah, er no vandevelt I'm like, I'm

208
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.320
like leaving off the D at the
end, all right. Xbox boss Phil

209
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.799
Spencer has addressed that Microsoft mega leak
through both a memo to employ and publicly

210
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.240
on Twitter. As most of you
will know by now, a lot of

211
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.480
internal Microsoft slash FTC documents were leaked
over the weekend and yesterday after internal files

212
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:13.799
were attached to a single publicly published
document and not correctly correctly hidden afterward.

213
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.399
Following the league at the FTC issued
a statement that it wasn't responsible for the

214
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.879
league, and the judge oversea in
the case also clarified it was Microsoft who

215
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:26.120
provided the link for the files.
Information that was leaked included includes details on

216
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.440
the Xbox Series X revision, as
well as Microsoft's next gym console, alongside

217
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.960
remasters A Fallout three and Oblivion a
whole bunch more. We talked a bunch

218
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.080
about this on the Bobcast yesterday.
In a memo email to employees, as

219
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:43.480
obtained by Tom Warren over at The
Verge, shout out to Tom Microsoft.

220
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.039
This is for internaloys at Microsoft.
Phil Spencer now has now addressed the massive

221
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.720
league, saying that although this is
utterly disappointing, many documents are more than

222
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.320
a year old and the company's plans
have evolved since then, as expected,

223
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.440
Spencer also said that the league shouldn't
have happened in the first place. A

224
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.360
similar, somewhat shorter message has also
been posted on Twitter by Spencer, where

225
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.600
he said, We've seen the conversation
around the old emails and documents. It

226
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.519
is hard to see our teams work
shared in this way because so much has

227
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.480
changed and there's so much to be
excited about right now and in the future.

228
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:17.600
We will share real plans when we
are ready, Lucy, I'm I'm

229
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.639
of the opinion that this isn't that
big if a deal. I think in

230
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.399
like a couple of weeks, were
like, no one's really going to be

231
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.559
talking about this anymore, And in
like a month or so, no one's

232
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.080
even going to be thinking about it
anymore because there's just not that much scandalous

233
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.360
in there. There's not that like, sure people will reference it, but

234
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:34.639
it's just not that big a deal. But I don't know, how do

235
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:40.480
you share that opinion? Oh,
the emails, yeah, weeks, the

236
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.200
leak itself, the leak, well, yeah, the content leak itself,

237
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:49.519
the contents leaks. No, the
fat expectation has now been set. People

238
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.480
are going to be unbearable about the
Microsoft lineup for the next three years.

239
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.399
Yeah, but it's like the timing
on all that stuff is already. So

240
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.519
I mean there's like a couple of
games and there there's like a Doom Day

241
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:06.240
one A three. Yeah, there's
like what else, the Fallout three remake.

242
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.480
Yeah, but this is going to
get asked about that. But like

243
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.799
a lot of those things are also
Yeah, we heard about the Oblivion remake

244
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.119
already. These things are pretty predictable. I don't know. I think maybe

245
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:19.839
in terms of like the hardware revisions, like oh, here, you're not

246
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.759
gonna have a pro but Phil Spencer's
been saying that, So I don't know,

247
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.680
I don't I don't see the like
the negative side here really not at

248
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.359
least obviously there's some negatives like having
your stuff blown out there and air it

249
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:36.799
out for everybody, and for stuff
to be completely criticized without having the context

250
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.319
of like all of the emails that
were around it. But I don't know,

251
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.319
it just doesn't seem that scandalous.
It's not scandalous, no, but

252
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.680
it is going to impact them going
forward, like in terms of their relationship

253
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.039
with the community, because the community
is going to be like, well,

254
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.359
you did this and now you're doing
that like it's going to be something that

255
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.720
no one's gonna win. That's true. I agree that it's not gonna like

256
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.799
a fuck Xbox. Like overwhelmingly the
sentiment was like, oh, holy hell,

257
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.480
we're getting just on and three,
We're getting a full out re remake.

258
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.240
Let's fucking go. But at the
same time, it's just like duff

259
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.400
a secret for a reason, especially
in game development, where things change,

260
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:18.200
things are gonna slip. For sure, things might get canceled, But because

261
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.400
they've been on that dock, people
they're gonna get asked about it, and

262
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.559
it's going to be would be especially
bad for something like dishonor three. Right,

263
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.359
if we go like two or three
years without hearing about dishonor three,

264
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:32.000
at a certain point, you're you're
correct. The fandom for that series and

265
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.319
for Xbox in general, it will
be like, well what about that?

266
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.440
You know, it's been forever.
It's been forever, and Microsoft's like,

267
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.680
we never publicly confirm that, but
you're right, the audience will still remember

268
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:42.319
the week. For sure, I
was gonna say, you're asking you're asking

269
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.960
for nuance on the internet in twenty
twenty three, and I just maybe it's

270
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.160
just been online for too long.
I just fundamentally don't believe it exists anymore.

271
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:53.599
Yeah, that's that's completely fair.
In terms of like how this affects

272
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.039
Microsoft's relationships with partners, right,
you think they get you. We can

273
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.200
take like Nintendo's frustrated that, hey, why why are you talking about buying

274
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.680
us in this email? That's that's
mad. It makes us mad. Probably

275
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.440
not, I don't know, what
do you think. I don't think Nintendo's

276
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.200
gonna give a shit. I don't
think Valve's gonna give a shit. They're

277
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:14.119
like, oh no, we're multi
billion dollar corporations who are doing fine.

278
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.359
But it's I mean, I can't
speak for him, but it's kind of

279
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.440
a compliment. If you know,
a company like Xboxes and Microsoft is wanting

280
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:26.400
to wanting to buy them, I
don't think that's gonna be I also don't

281
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.319
think it's malicious to say that in
business either, to be like, oh,

282
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.279
yeah, we want to buy I
want to buy. These companies talk

283
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.480
about buying things all the time the
time, and the other companies aren't well

284
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.880
aware of that. Like that,
I mean Microsoft's mergers and acquisitions, like

285
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.640
Team has ongoing relationships with all these
other companies and probably reaches out to them

286
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.960
all the time kind of talk like
just you know, putting out feelers or

287
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:56.400
whatever, and that's there's nothing malicious
there and everyone sort of understands it.

288
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.000
Yeah, I think Nintendo would probably
still be like laugh them out of the

289
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.839
room, just like they did back
in like whatever or the early two thousands

290
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.640
when Microsoft went to Nintendo was like, hey, we want to buy you.

291
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.720
Nintendo's like that's very funny. Now
leave, But that Microsoft also is

292
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.039
like recognizes that that that's what happens
too. Like you say you're gonna buy

293
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:15.960
someone and they don't want to be
bought, they can laugh at you.

294
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.640
So it's like, yeah, it's
all just part of doing business and not

295
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:25.440
not that strange as well, you
know. The most upsetting thing from the

296
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:33.640
emails though, discovering that Phil Spencer
is a colon dash parentheses smiley face,

297
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.799
guy, Oh, I don't give
you don't. I do think that's a

298
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.279
generational divide, right, the dash
in there, because like you're you're you're

299
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:47.759
probably thinking, like the proper way
is colon parentheses, right, no,

300
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:52.599
no dash, No you don't need
a knows No I don't. Oh yeah,

301
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.720
I got Dan Dan City has correctly
written the worst emoji, the worst

302
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:03.559
smiley face emoji, which is the
colon upwards. Yeah, and then this

303
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.160
point. Yes, I definitely dislike
that. Yeah, but it takes me,

304
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.839
it takes me back to like the
Nokia three thirties or the thirty three

305
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.599
tenths, which is, you know, those are the ones that were built

306
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.960
into that where you could just like
put pulm up from the menu. Yeah.

307
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.000
Oh my god, Yeah, I
think you're right. Like that's like

308
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.680
getting this some of these the candid
conversations and seeing how these people actually communicate,

309
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.359
that's been somewhat more interesting than any
of the other details. I mean,

310
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.680
listen, I'm excited about Have you
been mentioned in anything? No,

311
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.839
thankfully, not thankfully, I mean
not in these emails because this is all

312
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:44.160
like FTC stuff that related to the
Activision acquisition. Yes, I definitely had

313
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.480
a conversations at at packs where it's
like, yeah, your name comes up.

314
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.359
Okay, okay, but I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. But but

315
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:57.079
yeah, I think that's like,
Hey, a new Xbox controller with with

316
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.839
the haptics that makes the sound and
stuff off that. Yeah, I want

317
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.480
to I want to get that.
But that's probably next year they'll talk about

318
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.440
when they talk about it, and
I think a revised Xbox Series X without

319
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.880
a disk drive. I'll be interested
to see how they message that, how

320
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.240
they position their whole lineup. I
mean there is you know, all these

321
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:22.000
things came from slides that have all
these details, and they it's like,

322
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.480
okay, okay, I see what
they're what they're going for here with all

323
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.880
this stuff, Like the lineup for
the mid gen devices is going to be

324
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:32.119
Xbox series Xbox Series X and then
the other Xbox Series X that doesn't have

325
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:33.960
the disk drive, so they're going
to keep a disk drive Xbox Series X

326
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.119
out there. But there's been some
like backlash, people like hey, they

327
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.119
are now trying to do the thing
where they're forcing people to go all digital.

328
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.359
Do you get the sense of the
X I definitely get the feeling like,

329
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.279
yeah, they are trying to be
a little bit more aggressive about that,

330
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.680
especially when they're talking about their next
gen plans where it's like, hey,

331
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.000
we're going to have the power of
the cloud is coming back and we're

332
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.880
gonna have a browsers that we're gonna
call Xbox going forward. I don't know,

333
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:03.200
do you get that sense well,
shouts to Red Valentine and shouts to

334
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.759
let's see for this. But like
the court documents are revealed that seventy five

335
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:14.279
percent of Xbox series own as a
Series S owners. Yes, that's right,

336
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.759
we didn't know that. It's like
the series S is very popular in

337
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.319
in places outside the United States,
Like this series X does pretty well in

338
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.319
the United States, but everywhere else
people are getting the series S as like

339
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.759
a secondary thing to go along with
their PlayStation that they talk about that in

340
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.720
the UK sales chart all the time, drings like hey, yeah, like

341
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.039
this game sold way better physically on
the PlayStation than on Xbox. But Xbox

342
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.480
games in the UK are mostly digital
at this point, like those that's where

343
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.640
almost all the sales are happening.
So they're kind of making it happen anyhow,

344
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.920
So I don't yeah, I think
it's not too surprising that all digital

345
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:52.720
series X will come. Do you
think that Microsoft would do the thing where

346
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:57.480
that PlayStation is reportedly doing, where
they'll have a external disk drive that you

347
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:02.279
can plug in like USB. I
would love that. Yeah, I don't

348
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:03.599
say will do it, but I
would genuinely love that. I think it's

349
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.799
right answer just yeah, actually put
your moneyway mouths and show that you care

350
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:15.480
about being able to support boxed copies
of games. Some of us still like

351
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.559
physical media. You know, I
did last night? Would you do last

352
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:26.400
night? Built another shelf? Baby, put my trinkets on. Anyway,

353
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.559
none of us still like it.
Let's see. Yeah, I'm taking a

354
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:36.440
look at some of these other documents
here real quick, here we go.

355
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.119
I don't know, we've talked again. We talked a lot about this on

356
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.839
the bomb cast, but like just
kind of picking out stuff like, hey,

357
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:48.000
they're not going to do a handheld
device themselves, but they're talking about,

358
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.400
Hey, that is something that we
want to support, So they're going

359
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:56.039
to keep supporting third party companies that
are making those devices. That's uh,

360
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.440
something I think we've already seen coming
to come to fruition with them supporting SOUS

361
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.079
for the Roger ally uh and I
think they're going to probably keep going with

362
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:07.240
that, which is probably the right
move. And then and then yeah,

363
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.200
I don't know, do you how
do you feel about an xbox that's a

364
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:14.920
cylinder. That's another thing I was
a sticking point for jan oh. One

365
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.359
that looks like my A L E
X A. Yes, exactly. It

366
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.039
really does. Wow, it looks
exactly like that. I can't say it

367
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:27.000
because she'll she'll hears buy an Xbox. Sorry, I just want to set

368
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:37.880
it off for everybody. I mmmm, well, my own personal thing is

369
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.039
that I don't mind. It looks
nice, but I can't fit it in

370
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:47.359
my TV unit. And also now
that i'm PC, if I need it,

371
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.000
Yeah, you know what's nice.
That's why they're not doing a pro

372
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:56.000
right, because there is a pro
Xbox and it's the PC. Because every

373
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.240
game that could like run better,
you would just if that's what you care

374
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.880
about, get a PC instead,
right, I mean, so it makes

375
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.279
sense. I just then I guess, like I always wonder. You know,

376
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:10.599
once you have people on an Xbox
console, they're in your ecosystem,

377
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.839
and then everything that they're doing is
making you money. If you're Microsoft,

378
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:15.599
same is not true when they're building
a PC. In fact, you're losing

379
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.440
out on most of that because most
of that's happening through Steam and not the

380
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.640
Xbox Game Store. But we'll see
how they execute this. This is all

381
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.000
stuff that is maybe a year or
more away. I know it's it's it's

382
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.200
eight it was still in the first
story, but can I just say that

383
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:34.319
I'm not stoked with I turned on
my PC this morning and they've you know

384
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:37.759
how you have the wool papers that
it all goes through, and I have

385
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:40.200
mine selected to be the nature stuff. You know what. I was wanted

386
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:45.759
to tend my PC on this morning, grub what stack Field? They changed

387
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:52.119
my desk okay, line stepping,
and I was like, no, I

388
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.319
don't like that. I also don't
have stack Field on this PC, so

389
00:26:55.480 --> 00:27:00.279
okay, huh it was just a
random Starfield image, right, it was

390
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:07.519
No, it was it was the
It was the kiosk that is very cheeky,

391
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:12.079
I think is the word cheeky is
the words? Okay, well I've

392
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.160
never seen them do anything like that
before, but if they were going to

393
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.240
do it with the game, was
probably was going to be this one.

394
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.640
I just wanted my pictures of my
puffins, of course, I mean,

395
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:23.559
those puffins come up on mine all
the time, and my daughter loves,

396
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.240
she loves trolling everyone in the house. But being like, look at those

397
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:30.559
penguins, she knows they're puffins.
She's like, those are penguins and then

398
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.119
she laughs because everyone gets mad,
like, no, those are puffins.

399
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:42.400
I've got attacked by a Puffin once
who won. Don't me. I'm not

400
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:49.519
gonna win for the Puffins. All
right, let's let's move along here real

401
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:52.559
quick. Here's some sense of how
much money Microsoft paced for day one game

402
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.720
Pass launches. This is one where
we didn't get much into yesterday on the

403
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.240
Bomb Cast. This from Eddie mccou
at game Spot. The Big Xbox Document

404
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.960
League has revealed many things that Microsoft
never intended to be made public, and

405
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.319
one of those is how much money
Microsoft might pay a publisher to bring games

406
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.119
to game Pass on launch day.
Game Pass getting day one new releases is

407
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.640
a major perk and incentive to encourage
people to sign up and stay subscribe,

408
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.440
to stay sub subscribed, and Microsoft
might pay top dollar for this. Xbox

409
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:23.000
Vice President Sarah Bon send an email
to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer and Xbox

410
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:27.559
CFO Tim Stewart, among others,
detailing what it might cost to secure major

411
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.960
third party games coming to that game
Pass on launch day. Supporting to note

412
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.640
that the prices mentioned below are not
actual prices paid by Microsoft, basically estimates

413
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.799
some of the numbers included. Let's
see here Lego Star Wars thirty five million

414
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.519
dollars Dying Light two fifty million dollars
red dead Redemption two is going to be

415
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:49.920
five million dollars per month, and
that wouldn't have been day one. Let's

416
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:56.880
see here Balder's Gate three five million
dollars. And then let's see they were

417
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.640
gonna pay or they thought they would
have to pay three hundred million for something

418
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:04.079
like Star Wars Jedi Survivor and two
hundred and fifty million for Suicide Squad.

419
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.599
So five million for boulders Gate three, two hundred fifty million for Suicide Squad.

420
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:14.160
That sounds right to you, right, Lucy, good lord. Now

421
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.000
these are like internal estimations like yeah, and also when is this from?

422
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.960
When is this again? Yes,
this is at least more than a year

423
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.559
ago. This must be before everyone
one one million percent. In fact,

424
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.880
Larry someone from larryon came out was
like, yeah, this is not strange

425
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.720
to us. We totally get this. Everyone thought this, We kind of

426
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.599
fight this. Yeah it was Michael
said that, and then herseven posted I'd

427
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.240
love to see him to talk with
that analyst or something. Huh, Yes,

428
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.759
that's what it is. It's just
some analyst who looks at a million

429
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:52.200
of these games and tries to work
backward from some theoretical model and come up

430
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:59.160
with a number. Uh and ETA
five twelve to fifteen million per months per

431
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.559
month, Yes exactly. Oh my
god, that game is ten years old.

432
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:10.039
Like fucking cuts off to Rockstar.
Man. Honestly, they did what

433
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:14.440
everyone is desperately trying to do,
and they did it ten years ago,

434
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.480
saying yeah, like what okay,
so that came out in twenty thirteen,

435
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:21.599
right, so yeah, yeah,
okay, so yeah, heist for the

436
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:23.880
year after, because when did online
launch? Online wasn't there you No,

437
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:26.799
I think it was. It was
there at launch. It just was.

438
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.640
It was super busted in a lot
of ways. Some people are like I'm

439
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:30.640
waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, and then like a couple of months

440
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:37.480
later they got their ship together.
It's so like ten years ago is like

441
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.200
a game that's still super relevant,
like GTA five from twenty thirteen. If

442
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.880
you go back ten years, it's
stuff like Knights of the Old Republic and

443
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:49.640
Prince Persia of the Santa Time,
and like Civilization three fucking game Boy Advanced

444
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:52.960
Games. It's like, man,
that's like those felt like retro games by

445
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.400
the time twenty thirteen was around and
it's like GTA five is. If someone

446
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:02.720
called that a retro game, I
would die. So yeah, all right,

447
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.680
let's move along here. Like a
Dragon Infinite Wealth release date is set

448
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.880
for January twenty fourth. That comes
from Darren Bonthus at game Spot. Sega

449
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:15.119
has confirmed that Like a Dragon Infinite
Wealth will officially launch on January twenty six,

450
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.960
twenty twenty four, for PCPs five, PS four, Xbox Series X

451
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.839
and S, and Xbox One.
The direct sequel to the seventh mainline game

452
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.440
in the series before it's renaming made
things slightly confusing. Like a Dragon Once

453
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.680
Again stars former yakuza Ichiman Kasuga as
he heads to Huwaii to search for his

454
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.119
long lost mother. Kasuga won't be
alone in his mission, as he'll be

455
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:38.960
joined by a long time Like a
Dragon protagonist Kazuma Cure You whose Days,

456
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.640
whose days might finally be numbered after
he reveals that he's been diagnosed with cancer.

457
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:48.480
The limited number cry I was gonna
say, this seems like like this

458
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.440
is what the ideal video game right
where it's like it can be. It's

459
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:57.079
so silly, it's so absurd.
They lean into being absurd. Every little

460
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.759
clip you see from the game is
absurd and in at the same time,

461
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:05.480
it's incredibly emotional with characters that people
are super attached to and you can't wait

462
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.960
to see what happens to them next. It's it's it's like it's a soap

463
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.559
opera and I don't know, I'm
always so impressed by by this stuff.

464
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.960
I really like like a Dragon,
that's the one I played the most of

465
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.759
and enjoyed quite a bit. I'm
very glad that they are sticking with that

466
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:22.599
style and with those with those themes. So you are you're You're a big

467
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:28.000
cure you fan. Yeah, you're
getting ship for your pronunciation of kazma kure

468
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.519
you. By the way, I'm
sorry, I'm sorry to tell you what

469
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:40.799
else is new Jaska itchy? But
yeah, oh god, i Yaka is

470
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:46.160
a zero. Playing that in twenty
twenty was like, God, that was

471
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:51.119
my game. Man, it took
me three months. I put so many

472
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:58.200
hours into it. I wept.
It's just they're so good and the way

473
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:05.359
they balanced the complete ridicul listeness with
like just the most hard hitting emotional storytelling

474
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:08.480
beats you've ever heard. I'm I'm
going to be a wreck. I'm gonna

475
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:13.640
actually be a wreck, and I'm
so excited. But also this year alone,

476
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:19.119
we've got We've had like a dragon, what was the we had the

477
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:25.839
guidance? Yeah, yes, right, we had is man man with his

478
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.240
name or whatever, man without a
name, Man without a name played a

479
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.640
little bit of that at games come
and now we're gonna have this and it's

480
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:38.079
like, yeah, fans are feasting, were feasting, but also help me

481
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:42.359
this too, money yes, I
mean yeah, not like the man who

482
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.240
erased his name. Thank you.
It's not like these are tiny games.

483
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.039
They're all very beefy and big and
there's a lot to do, and I'm

484
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.000
I'm I'm like, okay, the
next one I'm going to check out is

485
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.880
going to be infinite wealth, because
I'm like, that's the mainline one.

486
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:58.720
I will kind of just let these
other ones stay on the side and I'll

487
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.160
check back in on each of the
on That's that's that's who I care about.

488
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:07.840
Uh UK. Regular regulators are reportedly
due to rule on Microsoft and Activision

489
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:12.559
merger next week. Something a story
that like we used to talk about every

490
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.320
day now here it is all right, Lexi's gonna yell at me for how

491
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.360
I say, what's up? LEXI? No? No, I just wanted

492
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:22.199
to bring you back to the actual
important stuff, which is the side activities

493
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.079
that they detailed in their live stream. One of them, yeah, one

494
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:30.719
of them is Clazy Taxi but you're
basically an Uba Eats delivery guy. And

495
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:36.159
one of them is called Sicko Snap, which is Pokemon snap but you're snapping

496
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:44.000
sickis Yes, this sounds great.
Soljimon, which is basically Pokemon. Okay,

497
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.480
I had that one before, right, they had that. Yeah,

498
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:51.960
they've expanded the actual like gameplay of
this. You you now battle other opponents

499
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:57.360
opponents. The real most important thing, of course is Sega bass Fishing is

500
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:02.079
in the game, so that's what
I care about. And Strike Ouch or

501
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:07.599
whatever the hell it's called. Yeah, yeah, there's another game, you

502
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.480
know, like like a Dragon,
the seventh one. I guess I had

503
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:15.199
a bunch of great side stuff and
I expected them to keep like leaning into

504
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.519
that, so I'm glad that they're
doing that. Here. What is Cabaret

505
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:23.480
Club. Cabaret Club is in Guiden. That's is that the one where you

506
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:28.239
run like a cabaret I guess like
you become it's like a management sim.

507
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.559
Yes, okay, that's the greatest
game of whole time. Yeah, that's

508
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.159
what I always I always hear about
that, and I get excited about that

509
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:36.960
prospect, and I'm like, how
much do I have to play to get

510
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:38.159
into that? Can I just have
a game that is just that? But

511
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:42.559
apparently not? All right, let's
uh, let's get back into this.

512
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.599
One. UK regulator reportedly due to
rule on Microsoft and Activision mercher next week.

513
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:52.559
Tom Iban and VGC UK regulator,
the Competitions and Market Markets Authority the

514
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:57.679
CMA's likely to rule on Microsoft's proposed
acquisition of Activision Blizzard next week. The

515
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:01.639
Watchdogs watchdog is expected to make a
preliminary decision on the sixty nine billion dollar

516
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:06.320
deal nice before the end of the
month, according to a Verge source said

517
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.239
to be familiar with the matter.
This will be followed by a final decision

518
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:13.760
decision, which is due to be
issued on October eighteenth. The CMA remains

519
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:16.840
the last major roadblock to the deal
closing. It initially blocked the acquisition in

520
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:22.039
April due to concerns about its impact
on the nascent cloud gaming market. Microsoft,

521
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.239
of course, has found a solution
to this, which is sell those

522
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:29.360
rights to Ubisoft, which continues to
be a very wild thing. Ubisoft will

523
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:34.079
be streaming all the Activision games worldwide
if this deal goes through. I guess.

524
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:38.719
So there's I mean, there's not
much more to say here. If

525
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:42.840
the CMA always said, hey,
if you're going to have a new sort

526
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.719
of solution here, we're gonna have
to go back and do our studies all

527
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.639
over again. So it's going to
take several weeks and here we are.

528
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:53.920
We'll see how this actually shakes out. I'm just you know, hate that

529
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:58.679
repetition. Yeah, I mean,
and this is a one that just really

530
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:00.679
got driven into the ground. I'm
glad it's been let we had a little

531
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:06.639
break. But we'll see what happens
next week. I guess yew Square Enix

532
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.320
wants to upgrade some existing ips to
triple A status. This or from Tom

533
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:15.440
Iban at VGC, Square Enix president
to Kashi kire you, I'm gonna say

534
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.920
it right that time has said he
hopes to boost profitability by revitalizing the company's

535
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.800
high definition game segment. The Japanese
publisher divides its digital entertainment business into three

536
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:29.599
units, HD games, MMOs and
games for smart devices or browser based titles.

537
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.280
During the q and a session held
at the beginning of August, which

538
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:37.719
now has a transcript online. Kure
You said that the company was currently examining

539
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:42.440
its HD games pipeline. Basically,
Lucy, they want to take established Square

540
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:46.400
Enix properties and move them up from
what they were before to modern Triple A

541
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:52.119
games. What who's a ripe candidate
for that? What game series do you

542
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.079
think it is? Ripe candidate?
The only thing that really comes to mind

543
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:57.719
for me is something like Front Mission, I guess, or maybe Star Ocean.

544
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:02.079
But for Star Ocean, say,
how many big Triple A RPGs is

545
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.760
so near the Squaenix is really going
to be able to invest in. They're

546
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.679
like already struggling to get Final Fantasy
to find its place. They're gonna do

547
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:10.559
that Star Ocean as well. I
don't know, what do you think,

548
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.400
Well, they've sold off everything else. They have sold off a lot of

549
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:17.440
stuff, yes, all their Western
stuff. I mean, it's going to

550
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:20.559
have to be the quiet Man.
It has to be the quiet man,

551
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:24.880
right, quiet Jan. They have
get Jan in there, and that's that's

552
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:30.599
how you make a triple A with
our boys. What else do they you

553
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:34.320
know? I was talking about this
last night and I was like, all

554
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:42.159
right, Google list of Square Enix
I P And it's just it's just not

555
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.719
obvious looking at it, at this
stuff. It's just it's a kind of

556
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:49.440
I mean, the bouncer is that
it is, that's what they do.

557
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:54.119
But yeah, bubble bubble there you
go, a triple A bubble babble decks.

558
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:58.719
Oh god, he's back, I
get. I mean, Kane and

559
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:01.000
Lynch, did they sell that long
they? I mean, who even if

560
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:05.079
they have a game studio. Okay, okay, here's the one that actually

561
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:08.559
makes the most sense. Sleeping Dogs. But oh sleeping Dogs. That would

562
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:13.239
yes, that would be Parasite Eve. Like Parasite Eve's one where like that

563
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.360
was a big Triple A game for
its time, and I think there would

564
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:21.199
be a lot of excitement if they
brought that back, But I don't know.

565
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:23.400
Yeah, you're right. They they
no longer have du sex Hitman legacy

566
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:27.079
of Kane, Thief or tomb Raider, which all would have been like,

567
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:34.559
well, those are obvious Triple A
games. Sief, maybe they have was

568
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:39.119
not a good game later later Thief
was right, they didn't hit like the

569
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:43.199
earlier ones. Uh, to ball
there you go, bring back to ball

570
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.239
number one. That's that's what they
need to do. There's Valkyrie profile,

571
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:50.559
Zeno gears. I mean, there's
stuff that I guess they could make.

572
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:52.480
It makes sense, it's just not
obvious looking at their list of games how

573
00:39:52.559 --> 00:40:01.519
that works. So oh yeah,
what's up, kiddo. Oh yeah,

574
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:05.000
okay, I can help you when
I'm doing my show. Okay, I'll

575
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:08.159
be up there in a second.
Thanks. Friend. It's a little bug.

576
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:14.079
Okay, it's gonna be okay.
There's a brain mantis outside our window

577
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:16.840
for the last couple of days and
she's been obsessed with it. Oh,

578
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:21.760
it looks like a bug. Oh, it looks like a pier. Okay,

579
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:29.119
I'll get that piper on my show, all right. But it's not

580
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:30.800
a pier. Okay, looks it
looks like a pier. But it's not

581
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:32.519
a pier. Okay, I'll hope
with that. When I SUSI, we're

582
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:36.760
done here, kid out. Thanks
for letting me know. All right,

583
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:40.840
let's see here. Yeah, she's
she's just got me right now. Mama's

584
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:45.079
at an appointment, so she's she
needs help. I'm here and I'm I'll

585
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:49.000
help her when I'm done. F
zero ninety nine. We'll get more tracks

586
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.760
soon, and new modes may follow. This comes from Chris Scullion at VGC.

587
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.440
Ninteno has said F zero ninety nine
will be getting more tracks in the

588
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:59.920
near future, while data miners have
uncovered new modes in the game's code.

589
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:04.639
The massively multiplayer racing game was a
surprise release on Switch last week and is

590
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.920
available for all Nintendo Switch Online members. At launch, the game has only

591
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:12.960
seven tracks from the original F zero, but Nintendo's Japanese website points out that

592
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.800
more tracks will be added soon.
Specifically, the first batch of new tracks

593
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.440
will arrive in late September and will
mainly consist of tracks from the original games

594
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:22.880
Queen League. Well. The second
batch will arrive in mid October and will

595
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:28.320
mainly consist of King League tracks.
We've been so far been playing Night League

596
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:31.199
tracks for the most part, however, as reported by Nintendo Life, data

597
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:35.079
minor Oatmeal Dome, who's someone who's
done this a lot in the pass,

598
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.360
has also discovered new modes that aren't
yet in the game. The first of

599
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.679
these is Arcade mode, which they
say adds a timer and places time gates

600
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.679
on each track. Speculating, Oatmeal
Domes says that this mode may involve continually

601
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:50.960
passing through gates to refill the timer
with the last player alive winning. They

602
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.239
also note the presence of a mode
called Survival, but point out that there

603
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:57.360
isn't much data to a company other
than a model of a flat square with

604
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.760
a circle in it. If you're
trying to imagine, it's just a black

605
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:02.960
square with a circle hollowed out in
the middle of No one really understands what

606
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:07.360
that means. Yes, Hey,
I love F zero ninety nine. Lucy's

607
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.960
been playing a lot of it,
super super into it. It doesn't have

608
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:15.039
a lot of stuff. It is
right now seven tracks, and there's something

609
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:16.639
kind of nice about that because then
you get to learn those tracks, and

610
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:20.320
I don't need a ton of new
stuff. I think, get the rest

611
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:22.079
of these F zero tracks from the
original Super Nintendo game in there, and

612
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.400
I'll be happy. Some of these
other modes will probably be interesting, but

613
00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:28.519
I think the mode that they have
that is the main thing that you go

614
00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:31.920
in there and play is actually really
well thought out and has the right balance

615
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:36.480
for being a Battle Royale game.
So I don't need a ton of extra

616
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:37.519
stuff, but this is nice.
This is a nice thing to have.

617
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:42.599
You You're probably not someone who's to
an F zero. But you have a

618
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.000
game that you think would make a
fun ninety nine game or a fun battle

619
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:52.159
Royale Kingdoms Kingdom Hearts is one.
I was definitely thinking as well, take

620
00:42:52.760 --> 00:43:00.800
them all out ninety nine Goofies fall
on an Island. Yeah no, I

621
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:05.199
don't know. I actually yeah,
eventual e ventual job. Oh no waituh

622
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:08.760
who said the chats movement? Uh
Shavius? Is it just said warrior Ware,

623
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:14.159
which actually would be very I would
adore a warrior Ware ninety knowing that

624
00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:16.639
would be fantastic. That. Uh, that new one's coming out and it's

625
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:23.639
gonna have a multiplayer and I can't
wait for us to get together rank some

626
00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:28.800
friendships, all right. The last
couple of stories here, Mortal Kombat one

627
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:31.440
switch issues will absolutely be addressed.
Ed Boone says. This is from Chris

628
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:36.360
Scollen, a VGC. The various
issues with the Switch version of Mortal Kombat

629
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:39.079
one will be fixed. Series co
creator Ed Boone says the game was released

630
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:43.199
on Tuesday, but in the days
before that, players with Premium edition had

631
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:46.719
early access and we're questioning the switch
versions performance. While the Switch version was

632
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.760
never expected to go toe to toe
with the Xbox or p S five versions,

633
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:55.480
it is still seventy dollars seventy dollars
for that game and looks rough for

634
00:43:55.639 --> 00:44:00.000
seventy dollars. In an interview with
BBC news Beat, Boon says issues but

635
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:05.400
the Switch version will be fixed,
promising it will absolutely absolutely be getting an

636
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:07.400
update. A number of the concerns
of the issues that had come up will

637
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:12.360
absolutely be addressed. Boon promised it
would have been ideal for us to have

638
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.039
released a version that we absolutely wanted, but anything that we're finding a problem

639
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.719
with is on our list and is
going to be fixed. These issues with

640
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:24.800
the game are mostly visual, mostly
technical. Now that does affect gameplay in

641
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:29.480
some instances where the frame rate is
so bad that it's eating inputs and things

642
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:31.519
like that. Those are things I
really do hope they're able to fix,

643
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:35.519
but I'm not They're not going to
be able to make that game like look

644
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:37.559
like a Mortal Kombat one on anything
else. It's still going to have those

645
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:42.519
rough character models, and I'm mostly
okay with that. But I also would

646
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:45.039
recommend don't pay seventy dollars for that
game on Switch unless you're absolutely desperate for

647
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:50.000
some reasons. So yeah, I
don't know but I mean as well,

648
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:57.239
like if you're looking at no slightly
informed gamer is going to buy a game

649
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:01.639
like that on the Nintendo Switch.
The switch. Which is problem quote unquote

650
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:07.440
is that it is so mass market. Mortal Kombat is such a recognizable name.

651
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.199
More kids will have a switch and
they'll be like, hey, mama,

652
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:15.039
can't play let anymore come out my
Nintendo. And those are the people

653
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:21.039
who are unfortunately going to be getting
It's it's in a long legacy of kids

654
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:23.519
getting shit versions for their handheld.
I mean more, I think Mortal Kombat

655
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:29.920
Advanced passage exactly. They have to
go through it. Back in my day,

656
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:32.880
it snowed both ways. Going to
get Mortal Kombat Advanced at the Toys

657
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:37.639
r US and you have to deal
with it too, kids. The game

658
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:40.239
has to be seventy dollars though,
because Ed Boone wanted every character Mortal Kombat

659
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:45.239
want to be voiced by a celebrity. This is from Alex Hopley at Game

660
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:47.639
Reactor. Celebrity cambios have been a
thing for a while in Mortal Kombat.

661
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:52.719
In twenty nineteen, we saw Sonia
Blade played by Franda Rousy. It's just

662
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:57.119
a riveting performance in Mortal Kombat eleven
and we also got to see Arnold Schwarzenegger

663
00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.239
voice the Terminator. Now in Mortal
Kombat one, we're going to see John

664
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.880
Sina as Peacemaker, j K.
Simmons as Omniman, and we've already got

665
00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:08.400
Megan Fox as Natia, Natara Natara. However, Ed Boone wanted even more

666
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:12.519
Cambia I was speaking with Rolling Stone. He revealed that ned Rome desperately tried

667
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:15.360
to get John Wick in the game. We tried to get John Wick in

668
00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:17.199
Mortal Kombat and we didn't get it, he said. Boone also wishes to

669
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:21.840
go even further, and one of
the pipe dreams. Pipe dreams he had

670
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:27.239
was having every character played by an
actor, a famous actor. Uh lucy

671
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.280
wi game developers like this? Why
are they? Are they such star fuckers?

672
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:37.880
I like, okay, hang on, how to put this bluntly and

673
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:45.760
politely? No, not every screen
actor is a good voice actor. And

674
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:47.920
we have seen this time and time
again. We have seen this with fucking

675
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:53.079
Ronda Rousy, with Megan Fox,
like John Cena and j K. Simmons,

676
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:55.920
they're gonna give it all they've got, like yeah, wrestler, and

677
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.840
they're playing their characters, they playing
that character. J K. Simonson has

678
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:04.320
done a lot of voice of work, I mean hell Omniman as well.

679
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:09.880
They know how different acting for voice
acting is versus acting for station screen,

680
00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:16.119
so like why waste the money?
And also it delegitimizes actual voice side and

681
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:22.280
performance actors who are already like air
Bud's gone strike two, So like that

682
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:28.920
is a that is an industry that
needs support and like money put behind them

683
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:34.079
rather than getting in the fucking Oh
Patrick in twit chat says, don't forget

684
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.320
Peter Dinklich in Destity, a performance
so bad they fucking replaced him with a

685
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:42.760
well known voice actor scrub from the
Face of the Earth. Ye. So

686
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:47.079
anyway, it's annoying. And like
Kiano's great in I like Kiano and Cyberpunk

687
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.440
because he's playing a character. It's
all the performance stuff too, but it's

688
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:53.840
like he's not necessarily going yeah.
But you know, for skins, I

689
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.719
think I'm mostly okay with it,
like if you're like fine with yeah,

690
00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:00.960
But it's like this, like Megan
Fox playing, they're just they're doing the

691
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:05.840
voice for this character that and that
just feels like ed Boone wanted to meet

692
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:10.480
Megan Fox and that's dumb, Like
just meet and then maybe maybe talk about

693
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:13.320
doing a skin and if it doesn't
work out, it doesn't work out,

694
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:17.159
whatever, but don't replace like an
actual working voice actor with one of these

695
00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:22.599
Hollywood celebrities. That it's I don't
like it. I think it looks kind

696
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:27.199
of they have like proof of being
able to do it. Well, yeah,

697
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:29.039
if it is, yes, if
it likes if, it makes a

698
00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:30.039
lot of sense. But it's like, you know, they got Jean Claude

699
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:32.719
van dam As a skin and he
does his voice for that skin, and

700
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:37.920
that's a great solution there that that
do that stuff all you want. But

701
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:43.760
I'm yeah, I don't know,
I'd like it's he's not alone. Kajima

702
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:46.159
every time he's watches a TV show, he's like, I'm gonna go get

703
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:50.599
that person and collect their soul for
my game and put them in every single

704
00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:53.400
one of my games from now on. And Pitchford, Yeah, Randy Pitchford

705
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:58.000
is sucking on the Hollywood set,
just like trying to talk to Kevin Hart,

706
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.320
and Kevin Hart's like, please don't
look at me. Was it the

707
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:05.639
denied high fives? Yeah, basically
yes, yes, exactly. All right,

708
00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:08.599
Uh you skip this out. You
know, we'll hit this one real

709
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:12.480
quick. Very last story here.
Switch version of Evil Dead the game canceled.

710
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.760
This is from Sophie McAvoy at Games
Industry Dot is there will be no

711
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.599
Nintendo Switch version of Evil Dead the
game and development of new content for the

712
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:23.800
game on other platforms has ended.
Saber Interactive announced the multiplayer game launched on

713
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:29.400
Xbox, PlayStation and PC last Mayas
and Epic Games exclusive initial sales saw the

714
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.119
title debut at number four in the
US Monthly charts. It became available to

715
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:35.840
play on Steam earlier this year,
followed by a Game of the Year edition

716
00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:38.199
including all post launched DLC you could
just do a Game of ear edition of

717
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:43.000
anything, huh and a statement shared
on x excuse and the statement shared on

718
00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:45.880
Twitter. The Florida based developer said
servers will be kept up for the foreseeable

719
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:51.360
future and any major issues that may
arise will be addressed. I mean,

720
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:52.840
yeah, this is going to happen
to some of these games. There's a

721
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:59.119
lot of these asymmetrical online multiplayer horror
games. Now there's more yet to come,

722
00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:00.639
So not all of them are gonna
last forever. Not all of them

723
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:05.119
are gonna last very long. I
know people enjoyed this Evil Dead one,

724
00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:08.519
but this is Saber Interactive under Embracer. If something's not working, they're probably

725
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:12.400
gonna start abandoning things pretty quickly.
I don't know, what do you think?

726
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.039
Yeah, I mean, yeah,
I think you've nailed it. That

727
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:17.239
which is a show because Evil Dead
the game was really fun. We played

728
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:21.039
a lot of it last year when
it first came out, had a blast

729
00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:24.000
very and like, yeah, I
just I honestly, I haven't even thought

730
00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:28.519
about it in a good few months, and so when I saw this news

731
00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:30.440
yesterday, I was like, oh, yeah that game doesn't exist, damn.

732
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:36.679
But yeah, I mean it sucks, and yeah, it's just going

733
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:39.519
to be more from this Embracer fallout, so we'll see. Yep, there

734
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:44.639
was a myth Force. I had
some layoffs as well. Today another Embracer

735
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:47.239
studio, which one? What did
they do? I can't remember what I

736
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:50.960
think they can't remember what they work

747
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:36.719

we already answered this one. Thirty
one percent said yes, sixty nine percent

749
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:42.159

751
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:47.559
poles. There's a new poles.

753
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:55.639
Yes? No, no, but
it's fine for things like special skins.

754
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:00.480
So we'll have that up and we'll

759
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:22.960
Adventure going up today, two episodes
of Bibo, one of my favorite episodes

760
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.760
of b Bob, and then an
episode that I find annoying. So which

761
00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:30.239
ones are they? Oh? Hell? Is it? Is it the clown

762
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:36.400
one? No? No? The
one that I love is the Venus Waltz

763
00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:40.679
one. Oh well, yes,
that's a fucking right. And then the

764
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:45.440
one that I don't like so much
is the one where you introduce jamming with

765
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:50.159
Edward. Thank you Dreff, Walts
Venus and jamming with Edward. So I

766
00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:53.960
love Walts Venus and I don't care
Walters Venus is is some all time great

767
00:52:54.000 --> 00:53:00.639
television jamming with Edward. Yeah that's
that's a silly one for sure. All

768
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:02.800
right, let's see here. Yeah, what else is happening? You and

769
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:07.800
I are gonna record the Quick Look
and that'll be up around the time of

770
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:13.119
games. Yeah, that's just how
it has to be. I have,

771
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:15.079
well, I have to figure out
because, like I said, I moved

772
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:20.360
my big beefy PC over there,
so I'll just I'll just move all my

773
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:22.920
mics and ship. We'll do it. We'll do it. Just let me

774
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:27.400
know and then we've got what EPF
yea, there will be a black Club

775
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:30.599
today at thirty pm. We're probably
gonna finish Sonic O six everybody, so

776
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:34.280
definitely tune in for that. Your
last chance to see Dan trust up is

777
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:37.840
Sonic Live. I feel like it's
not my last live probably not the last

778
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:44.920
last chance, last chance for now
for black Club, I imagine he's gonna

779
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:50.119
put it in his wardrobe like at
the end of Indiana Jones. Yeah,

780
00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.840
you're just gonna the camera will be
panning over to him in his underwear eating

781
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:55.079
soup out of a can, and
it'll be in there in the closet for

782
00:53:55.159 --> 00:54:00.400
sure. For you PF. We
want to do party animals. We'll see

783
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:02.559
how that's gonna work because I'm we
can get code or whatever. So I

784
00:54:02.599 --> 00:54:06.719
know it's on game Pass, but
it's PC game Pass, and look it's

785
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.719
console game pass in the cloud,
not PC game Pass. But we'll figure

786
00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:14.119
it out. It'll be a good
time, all right, everybody. Uh

787
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:16.039
think that we got through that show
and that was good stuff. Lucy thank
