1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:15.279
Be bad. It's the Internet.
You're busy. Let's do this for November

2
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.839
twentieth, twenty twenty three. For
the next hour or so, let me

3
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.280
help you sort through the world of
gaming on Game mess Morning's Live with me

4
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.199
Jeff Grub. Today, gamers are
bewildered by Sony's latest new game announcement and

5
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.280
a major game hits a big anniversary. But first, please join me and

6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:36.000
welcome in today's go host coach the
Gameless Mornings. It's Jordan Middler. Everybody,

7
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.799
Jordan, how are you doing.
I'm good man, I'm back.

8
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.840
I'm out of the gates. Hell, I've been released from Robinson's peasant camp.

9
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.679
All verything about Call of Duty Lloyd
does, and I'm ready to talk

10
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.479
about the news. How are you, man, I'm pretty good. I'm

11
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.799
pretty good. You were you were
in the guide mines like all year long.

12
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.399
It was one of those years.
Huh very much. I don't know

13
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:03.039
if you've heard of that's Google.
But the algorithm robot across the across the

14
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.200
whole space of games has decided that
we're gonna make you make so much less

15
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.719
money than you said last year.
So everyone's shutting themselves. Yep. Guides,

16
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.040
GUIDs, guides, and there's been
a general downturn and press and the

17
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.920
big games of the year generally compared
to the pandemic. Here man, the

18
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.200
money we were making them. Pandemic
off, bring it back, Bring it

19
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.439
back. But yeah, it's not
where I've been, you know it was.

20
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.040
It's strange because it's like, you
know, it is high tide,

21
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.079
low tide. Elden Ring was a
gold mine. Uh, and then earlier

22
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:34.719
this year it's like, oh,
yeah, we're gonna have several of those

23
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.680
this year, and it's like,
no, Actually, the kind of cancel

24
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.719
each other out in some ways.
I mean, uh, people, and

25
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.239
really the people are playing so many
games, they do get to a point

26
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.319
where like, actually, we just
want to know how to beat this thing.

27
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.120
Can you just tell me that so
I can get back to playing my

28
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.000
game. I don't care about any
of this other bullshit you're writing about there.

29
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.599
I'm just playing games right now.
So tell me how to tell me

30
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.319
how to beat the fucking boss on
level three so I can get back to

31
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.400
playing this game. I want nothing
else to do with you. And it's

32
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:01.280
like, oh, you know what, at a certain point, fair,

33
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.400
fair enough, I get it.
But it's uh, it's difficult to like

34
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.240
put your finger on that pulse and
figure out where or put your figure to

35
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.280
the air and figure out where it's
gonna blow next. Right, And also

36
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.280
because Google or Robin bastards have started
doing this thing where they will steal like

37
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.719
a line of text that basically gives
the game away and just put it on

38
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.199
the page. And you won't get
a page for your well not even they

39
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.280
pay you for that content. I
mean, that's not theirs, right,

40
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.879
So no, no, no,
no, weird. And they so here's

41
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.560
the thing. They've created an ecosystem
where then we have to write guides of

42
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.479
four hundred words to answer a question
that can be answered in three words.

43
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.840
Yeah, robots, just I love
words, Give me more words, repeat

44
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.599
that keyword, repeat the type.
People have seen that and being like,

45
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.199
oh, we don't, we don't, that's that's a bit too much.

46
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.159
Didn't read And we'll just steal your
content and put it on the front page

47
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.639
and give you absolutely fuck all for
it. And the Internet is going down

48
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.919
the tubes. Support independent media.
I'm so glad you're here because this morning,

49
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.639
just this morning, I was like
I could just like start my own

50
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.400
website, like just just like,
should you start my own website? I

51
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.240
could probably make money. I'm so
glad you're telling me how stupid I am.

52
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.400
What a stupid bastard I am for
thinking that the web is dead on

53
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.159
I p you dead? Yeah,
it's I mean, listen, at some

54
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.280
points it lived. In some points, it's it's fucking dead pretty much.

55
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.599
Yeah, but how you've been otherwise? I mean listen, it's it's uh,

56
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.840
it's still busy er. You got
to make you got to make do

57
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.879
with what you got. But did
you were you able to like keep up

58
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:31.599
with the games you wanted to play
all that stuff? Or was it just

59
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:36.879
a hot mess? Oh? Brother? I reviewed everything, basically, I

60
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.560
played everything. The only game this
year was I Am Adio Wonder. I've

61
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.199
been playing that in my spare time. Cool ottle game. I can see

62
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.759
why. It's why it's doing my
own game of the year. It's no

63
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.599
star Field. But yeah, you
know, here's the thing, and this

64
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.400
is going to get me roasted a
live by people who alread Do you think

65
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.680
I'm a shell? You know?
The thing that's been the biggest surprise for

66
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:01.159
me last year, The good old, the good PSP PSP. I'm still

67
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.719
trying to get my hands on one. But I knew I would love that

68
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.680
thing the second I saw it,
So I'm glad. I'm glad to hear

69
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.800
so many people seem to be like, yeah, no, actually this does

70
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.439
make more sense than we originally thought. A big part of it is like

71
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.800
it's just well made, right.
It seems like a like they did a

72
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.199
really good job with the build quality
and the quality of the streaming and all

73
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.720
that. It's the thing is Sony
makes brilliant hardware. It's the same with

74
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.800
the PlayStation VR. All their stuff
feels so good to talk, like all

75
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.759
their controllers in that. So,
yes, it's a it's a really nice

76
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.199
piece of cat that wouldn't it worn't
wouldn't fat everyone's lifestyle, But it seems

77
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.120
still fat enough people's lifestyle because I
don't know how as in the US,

78
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:41.560
but it's completely sold out in the
UK. Yeah, So the Jim Ryan

79
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.920
Swan song, I think we can
really just say absolute salute to the one

80
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.680
and only the legend himself, m
Ryan. Of course. All right,

81
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.680
let's explain what we do here most
week days, I Jeff Grub will help

82
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.360
piece your gaming life back together.
That includes breaking news and maybe even some

83
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.560
of our own original reporting. For
all these topics, I'll get the input

84
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.040
of a Bone of Fight expert who
will make me look smart. If you

89
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.480
know everyone's waiting for it, blue
ball and everybody speaking of a show later,

90
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.399
Hey, everybody, More tickets are
on sale for our live show in

00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.519
to a larger venue, so more

the chat here, We'll have it in

94
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.120

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.079
oh man, it sucks sold out
so fast last time, now you have

96
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.519
a chance to go ahead and get
tickets. I think that. I'm pretty

97
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.680
sure pricing is the same. I'm
pretty sure seating all works is the same,

98
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.959
where it's kind of first come,
first serve sort of thing. But

99
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.879
yeah, go ahead and grab those
tickets, come hang out with us.

100
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.560
It'll be our Game of the Year
finale. We'll be doing a lot of

101
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.680
other Game of the Year content leading
up to that, a lot of other

102
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.879
podcasts, other categories in the days
before that, but this will be the

103
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.279
finale with a couple other categories and
actually crowning Giant Bombs Game of the Year.

104
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:10.879
So really looking forward to that.
We've got special guests, We've got

105
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.920
the whole crew coming out to LA. It's gonna be a good time.

106
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.839
Any chance you would be in LA
for the Game Awards? Jordan? Look,

107
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.519
brother, I was on the I
was on flight Trackers about five minutes

108
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.439
before the show, and I was
like, how much back paid the Giant

109
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.879
Bomb? Actually only at this point
that we could make us work. I'm

110
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.639
presuming that I wouldn't need to pay
for a tecer because you know, I'm

111
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.480
a part of the family. Yeah, it's genuinely only five hundred quids to

112
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.639
fly there for like a day.
I get a hotel, then fly the

113
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.959
next day, So I'd be flying
longer than I was. I would be

114
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.759
in that hell hole of Los Angeles. But you know what, you know

115
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.920
what we'll see. You might hear
my music right right as the show goes

116
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.600
off the air, and then let
will corporate logo comes up. I'll come

117
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.839
backstage smashed down over the head.
Yeah, don't tell me, just tell

118
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.160
Jen. He'll make it happen,
all right. He'll be able to make

119
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.040
the music cap and all that stuff. So we'll see that beauty. All

120
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.560
right. So here we are,
everybody you ready? Hello YouTube? All

confirmed the PS four anders we'll be

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.920
carry over into the Last of Us
Part two Remastered. The Last of Us

139
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.079
Part two Remastered officially announced for PS
five. The upgraded details are I mean,

140
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.080
hey, it's it's that game again, and there are some improvements.

141
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.360
Allegedly, some screenshots comparisons were circulated
online. At first I thought they were

142
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.200
joke, and they looked exactly the
same. It's like, no diminishing returns.

143
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.120
This is just how it works.
I get why this is happening,

144
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.720
Jordan, Right, they have a
TV show that's very popular. They need

145
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.080
to These games are so big and
expensive that they kind of can't just have

146
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.159
one round of making money off of
games. Like this. They need to

147
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.960
go back to the well over and
over again and whatever. I get it.

148
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.519
They have fans that will that will
show up for that, and also

149
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.639
there are new fans all the time
thanks to the TV show. So you

150
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.120
have Part one and Part two on
store shelves, maybe eventually Part one and

151
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.759
Part two together in a single box. That makes a lot of sense.

152
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.039
But I think a lot of games
are like, this is a three year

153
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.519
old game already being remastered. What
the hell is happening here? People need

154
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.240
to calm down. Okay, people
need to relax about that situation. I

155
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.000
think Naughty Dog didn't help themselves because
the last thing they put out was that

156
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.679
Part one. And if this had
just came out at the same time as

157
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.240
all the other ten dollars upgrades to
PlayStation five that happened early in the gen,

158
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.799
yeah, no one would buy an
eye. Also, the compartison screenshots

159
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.000
are very funny. I did like
that very well. Be able to see

160
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.039
the differences when it runs, though
I think it will run like beautifully.

161
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.279
It's already it was already like a
ridiculous looking game one PS four, So

162
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.679
who cares if Alias here is a
bit more like scraggly or whatever. Right,

163
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.720
But yeah, I'm going to play
it again. I think the Last

164
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.679
of Us Part two, for my
money, as the best game ever made.

165
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.759
So if they're going to put it
on a on a new console,

166
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.919
I'm going to play it. I've
not played it since twenty twenty, so

167
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.159
it's I'm just glad it's not a
director's cut situation where they're trying to charge

168
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.159
seventy credit for this, because that's
that would be pest taking. It has

169
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.000
new content. It has like these
lost level sequences that they're they're adding into.

170
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.840
It has a roguelike mode. Yeah, that's the thing that really gets

171
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.720
me because I'm I'm the one of
the guys out there always saying this game

172
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.720
would be better if I had a
ruguelike mode, And well, now the

173
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.679
Last is part two, diyes,
So I got to put my money where

174
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.000
my mouth is and actually play that. Yeah, and the I think it's

175
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.759
a it's a bigger it's a better
package than people are given at credit.

176
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.799
I don't know if they're even given
at credit. They're just meming on it,

177
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.159
which is fair enough. We lost
to meme in this community thing.

178
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.360
Like on its face, it's it
is absurd, like three years later,

179
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.240
we're we're already remastering a game.
But yeah, if you dig into it's

180
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.080
like, actually, they're they're kind
of just charging ten dollars for something in

181
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.360
between an expansion dates. A lot
of these things feel like they would come

182
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.480
in other games as updates, But
those games aren't the biggest fucking game ever

183
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.320
made in a lot of ways,
Like those games aren't two hundred million dollar

184
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.679
projects the way that this one is. So again, I mean, I'm

185
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.039
a little bit understanding of Sony trying
to be like this is these are the

186
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.799
games you want, if that's if
this is what you want from us,

187
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.879
this is kind of how it has
to be in terms of the business model.

188
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.759
Uh. And most fans who do
show up for these games, I

189
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.879
don't think are complaining. They seem
pretty excited to have any new thing happening

190
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.919
with the last of Us. Yeah, and that WLA F edition will sail

191
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.399
out immediately, like the Yeah,
the physical version of the Part one did.

192
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.279
And although if you remember, they
shipped those and like paper bags,

193
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.440
so by the time they go up
to people's houses, they were kecked cull

194
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.679
to shit. So I'm sure they'll
do that again. Oh yeah, put

195
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.000
PlayStation's right, it's a wonderful service. But also if you think new drug

196
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.519
Comman is set and working on this, you have rocks in your head.

197
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.320
Yes, like they are on their
new thing. This is like a wetworks

198
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:03.000
team getting like people need their relax
about that. Yeah, I mean that's

199
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:05.960
not only is that like how that
happened? Like that's entirely the point,

200
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.080
right, is that the next big
game takes so long and Naughty Dog is

201
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.159
so big. They have all these
people who kind of would be doing nothing

202
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.720
until that next project is in a
position where their work can actually apply to

203
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.240
that, and that's happening for seemingly
most of their projects. That's why we

204
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.159
got the Last of US one remaster
one. And it's like, well,

205
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.679
they already have all of those skills
in place. Why wouldn't you just have

206
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.480
them continue working on that stuff for
the next thing so you could so they

207
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.679
can be you know, they could
stay sharp, and also we could have

208
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.320
a new product of some sort.
Yeah, it's it's almost like it happens

209
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.679
as a natural process of figuring out
a way to keep everyone busy at Naughty

210
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.600
Dog and keeping everyone employed and not
having to do the thing where it's like

211
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.240
we just released the game, and
now we don't have any work for these

212
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.480
people for a few years, we
might as well lay everyone off, Like

213
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.720
this really is an alternative to that. And again, so as I look

214
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.399
at this, I'm like, I
am very forgiving of these things for the

215
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.080
most part, even though it is
absurd. Well, because we just don't

216
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.759
we don't think about that stuff too
much. We're just like a three year

217
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.559
old game doesn't need to be remastered. What the fuck are you talking about?

218
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.679
But it's like remaster, it's just
a word we use to position something

219
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.919
as a product on a shelf,
and it does apply here whatever buy it

220
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.480
or don't. I will be interesting
to see how much of a difference we

221
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.720
will see when it's running. The
sixty frames per second update already happened for

222
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.559
the PS four version, and this
will be four K as opposed to the

223
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.799
fourteen forty P that was upscaled to
four K on for the PS four version.

224
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.919
But I can't tell the difference between
fourteen forty P on a TV and

225
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.200
four K, especially when it's upscaled. So I'll be interested to see if

226
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.000
people really do notice that stuff.
These siyes ken, these eyes can do

227
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.840
it. Well, yeah, you're
you're a superhuman and just about of insight

228
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.399
baseball here. You think about the
way that's all went down, because obviously

229
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.080
there'd been west but it's about that's
for a while, people and the no

230
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.039
kind of knew what was going on, but then appeared on the PlayStation database

231
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.039
and all kind of crackled out,
And then was a pr to be like,

232
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.519
yeah, his website, do you
think games don't really get games?

233
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.120
Sometimes got noticed on a Friday,
but all like a Friday night before.

234
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.120
Now we can yeah, we don't
think that's what's gonna go downe we know.

235
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.679
I mean I think we kind of
like can reverse engineer what happened here

236
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.360
a little bit. Right, It's
the thing leaked. It was pretty clear

237
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.159
and because what everyone did know about
it pretty clear that it was true.

238
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.919
And that created the puddle news cycle
of everyone going are they going to charge

239
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.480
seventy dollars for this? Are they? Are they psychotic? And so the

240
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.519
anxieties are blowing up, and and
so's naughty Dogs going like, please,

241
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.840
we don't want to spend our weekend
having people message us about selling this thing

242
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.759
for seventy dollars. Can we just
tell them what's going on? And everyone's

243
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.679
like, yep, we have to
let's just tell them what's going on,

244
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.519
and it's it's that simple. And
at a certain point, I'm like,

245
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.279
I'm glad the industry is at a
point where it's like they're tapped in enough

246
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.840
to be like, let's just call
these anxieties right now. It's just a

247
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.440
little bit frustrating that we are still
so uneasy all the time about how the

248
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.679
industries go to treat us and treat
our wallets. So yeah, I mean,

249
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.559
I don't know how did you end
up feeling about it? I thought

250
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.000
it was if it wasn't going to
be announced on the Friday, It felt

251
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.799
like it was going to be announced
sooner than like the Game Awards, because

252
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.120
they were very ready to roll with
with full blog posts and stuff like that

253
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.039
of stuff. It's like, feels
like it should could be at the Game

254
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.360
Awards between now and like that Dragon's
Dogma too stuff, It's like, why

255
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.799
wouldn't that be at the game It's
it's just not going to fucking be at

256
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.440
the Game Awards before that, as
I totally agree with you, I liked

257
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.159
how they were they came on Twitter
and they were like, Okay, it's

258
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.879
leaked fifteen minutes till the real trailer, fifteen minutes till all the information you

259
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.320
need, all that stuff, and
they kind of wrestled back the narrative as

260
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.279
soon as you could put up that
image that was like ten dollar ps four

261
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.080
Updred that's that. That was like
the counters. Oh my god, we're

262
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.639
charging a million pounds for a game
from twenty twenty. But yeah, it

263
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.080
doesn't make me wonder though, what
what the token PlayStation thing is for the

264
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.000
Game Awards, because Naughty Dog are
great for a week trailer like that just

265
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.919
just shoved in there, Like what's
it going to be ever going to get?

266
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.080
Is it going to be a Barlogs
game? Is it going to be

267
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.200
this weird Gold of warhaf sequel that
is on the way I think that's going

268
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.919
on here. Like I'm at a
point with with Sony where I'm like very

269
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.519
afraid to build up people's hope because
I thought that last place in PlayStation Showcase

270
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.000
and I was told that they were
very proud of that PlayStation Showcase before I

271
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:19.519
knew it was in it, And
so when it was getting promoted I'm like,

272
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.399
no, let's get our hopes up
that this is great. And now

273
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.240
we've like that happened, and no
one was happy with that, And they

274
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.240
haven't made any real big announcements about
their future lineup since then. So there's

275
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:37.000
like this big gap of like expectation
for PlayStation. A company has historically been

276
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.720
very happy to be like, hey, and three goddamn years, you're gonna

277
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.080
be playing this gigantic game and that
gigantic game and maybe even this, and

278
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.840
they've sort of scaled back on that
stuff for I'm sure a variety of reasons.

279
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:49.879
We can diagnose those, I'm sure
here, but it's like, for

280
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.200
the most part, it's like,
oh, gamers are just like they're used

281
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.200
to it, being one way,
knowing a lot about PlayStation's release lineup and

282
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.799
now not knowing so much what there's
death straining to Wolverine and I'm not sure

283
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.480
if there's much else. But so
yeah, every time we have an opportunity

284
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.079
for them to announce something big,
I'm like, yeah, they probably could,

285
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.519
but I doubt it would be something
as big as Barlocks game. I

286
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.480
think they would just be I think
they're going to just say that stuff for

287
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.640
the next showcase for the most part. I'm also I totally agree. I

288
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.359
cannot believe they didn't at least logo
Sushima too, Like that seems like that

289
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.079
that is one that'veually been hiding for
so that's not so I'm like, oh

290
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:27.759
my god, I can't believe they're
doing that kind of situation. And they

291
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:33.839
have enough. They have enough stuff
that us was stuff wasn't really actively coming

292
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.680
out, but they had Spider Man
on the way, they have Death trying

293
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:40.160
to woverene where you can afford a
logo or two, Like, I mean,

294
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:41.799
it's not we don't have to go
back to the days. Persony just

295
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.440
did a complete conference. It was
like, here's ten logos and that's it.

296
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.200
But yeah, they should be a
bit more. I think there should

297
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.119
be a wee bit more forward looking. I don't know if that's a big

298
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.759
gym Ryan call or if it's certain
right, who's the one that's saying this

299
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.680
is when we are saying about this
kind of stuff and a lot change and

300
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.319
though that Jambo is on his future
day of our show. Yeah, if

301
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.039
I either like guess and this would
be a complete guess. But I think

302
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.079
Jim Ryan inherited a lot of previously
announced things that became maybe slight headaches for

303
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.559
him, and so he was just
like, let's just be careful about that.

304
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.839
And we like, we're looking around
the industry. No one really sees

305
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:23.640
a detrimental effect from announcing a game
six months before it's released, and actually

306
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.640
we probably save a lot of money
on marketing by waiting until that six to

307
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:32.160
three month window before we really kick
things into gears. So let's just do

308
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.839
that going forward. So yeah,
I mean Jim Ryan was big on saving

309
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.160
money on that stuff. He was. He was the one that pulled them

310
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.759
out of BE three. So it's
like him looking at that, but like,

311
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.920
this is a big expenditure and we
don't need to do this. Let's

312
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.960
save that, you know, two
million dollars, save this two million dollars

313
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:51.400
earned at a certain point. Yeah, go ahead, Just Betty b Flay,

314
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.359
slacker Chan on the chot says,
wasn't there twisted O game? Hotman

315
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.880
and VGC reporters on that there still
as a test. Yeah, there's a

316
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.240
twist mental game. That's yeah,
we reported it here as well, Like

317
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.680
that's the one that was started at
god who can't remember anymore. The Studio

318
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.839
one, Studio and it moved to
another and now I can't. Yeah,

319
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.920
yeah, Sony Loverpool or Sony Loverpool
still kicking up all it was good as

320
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:17.079
as as keeking about the Yeah,
it got restarted to the point where it's

321
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:18.680
like it was never going to be
able to come out in time for that

322
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.640
TV show. But maybe season two. I mean that should seem to do

323
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.319
fine. So yeah, we'll see, uh real quick before we get to

324
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:26.960
the next story I have Martyr.
You mentioned Whispers, and it reminded me

325
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.839
I wanted to clarify something so that
that uh uh story about the good Knights

326
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.920
of the Old Republic cannot being worked
on anywhere anywhere. I want to clarify

327
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:40.119
that, like that comes very much
from like Sony just kind of wanting to

328
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:42.079
be done with it. Like my
stuff mostly comes from that side. Maybe

329
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:47.480
I heard a little bit from Lucas. It's like they it seems deader than

330
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:52.359
dogshit, because that game feels like
it cannot happen unless it has a partner

331
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:57.000
like Sony, and because Sony is
out that they seem to be out uh,

332
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.039
and Lucas does not like spending money
on games anymore. What they do

333
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:04.440
is they find partners who want to
develop, and then they have those partners

334
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.440
either find a way to self fund
or to find a partner of their own.

335
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.039
And that's what the con nights of
the Old Republic process was, Hey,

336
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:12.720
we found a story that wants to
make it, and we found Sony

337
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:18.279
who wants to help fund it,
make it happen. Well, with the

338
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.400
big funding kind of being pulled,
it seems like to me, it's like,

339
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.519
oh, that's definitely done and there's
no reason for anyone to be working

340
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:29.640
on it now. The reality is
maybe someone somewhere is still imagining that that

341
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.400
game could happen, and there could
be someone working on it. I don't

342
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:36.359
know that far. I don't know
what's happening inside Embracers, so to clarify,

343
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.000
maybe something's happening there. The reality
is, though, they would have

344
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.440
to find someone to make that game
happen with, and I know that Lucas

345
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.599
is very horny to make it happen, like they've been wanting to have a

346
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:51.160
Knights with the Old Republic remake for
years. So I think if Embracer can

347
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.279
find someone, maybe that could still
happen. But I don't know. So

348
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:59.240
there you go, clarified as Dead
that's gone. Yeah, it's coming out

349
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.480
the same time as The Agent,
the the like. Listen, the bottom

350
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.880
line here that people care about will
I ever be playing that game? The

351
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.960
answer to that is almost certainly not. I mean that's you know, as

352
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.000
we try to as I try to
clarify here that if that's your focus,

353
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.759
that's still the answer. Yeah.
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna pouse for

354
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.559
when less is clept. Yeah,
hand on, there we go. There

355
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:22.680
were good stuff, all right,
all right. Valve marks Half Life's twenty

356
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.799
fifth anniversary with game update and documentary. This is from Andy Robinson at VGC.

357
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:32.759
Valve has marked Half Life's twenty fifth
anniversary with several several promotions and content

358
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:37.039
drops, including an extensive new update
for the original game, as detailed on

359
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.559
the new twenty fifth anniversary site.
Valve has added new multiplayer maps, restored

360
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.400
game content, graphics options, and
full Steam Deck compatibility. Valve is also

361
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:49.319
making the occasion by marking the occasion
by making Half Life free to keep for

362
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:52.680
anyone adding it to their Steam library
this weekend, and putting the rest of

363
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.400
the games in the franchise on discount. Finally, Valve has released an hour

364
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.200
long documentary made in partnership with Secret
Tape, in which the original development team

365
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.039
share their memories of creating Valve's first
game. The last Half Life game vir

366
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.599
title Half Life Alex, was released
in twenty twenty. This is pretty cool.

367
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.839
I'm at a point where I am
very nostalgic about about not just like

368
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.680
playing the games, but hearing from
the people involved in making them. One

369
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.920
of my favorite experiences this year was
the making of Karatica, and this is

370
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.400
in that realm. I'm like,
I almost wish it's like this could work

371
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.039
like that, where it's like play
the game and have it all kind of

372
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:32.559
exist in that in that same piece
of software. But hey, I mean

373
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:36.119
if they're doing all this work and
creating a standalone documentary, that's great as

374
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.680
well. This is pretty cool,
right, Yeah, this is great.

375
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:44.519
Be FOBREADI himself, dannield Wire for
making us happen. Yes, be good

376
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.480
work over there. He's been talking
about doing something on Half Life since the

377
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.359
day No Clut launch, Yes,
so this must be a huge kind of

378
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.519
relief for him. Obviously, this
wasn't No Clut. That's has like new

379
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:02.519
kind of boutique and house agency for
companies that want to sell fund it because

380
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.680
obviously, as if it's Valve's money, is going to be a certain way

381
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.200
of how this is going to go
versus yeah, crowdfunded. But yeah,

382
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.400
I think this is this is great, especially for Valve, a company who

383
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:17.240
loves to have people decippeate onto it
and you never hear from them again,

384
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.920
and you never hear what games that
we're working on. That's kind of controlled

385
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.720
access, I think is brilliant.
I've have you watched any of it?

386
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.359
I've not. I've not watched yet. I intend to watch it this week

387
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.640
if I get some time, although
it's going to be kind of tough with

388
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.200
Thanksgiving come up over here. But
but yeah, I mean, you know,

389
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.000
you're right. It reminds me a
little bit of The Last Dance with

390
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.640
Michael Jordan, where it's like that
is Michael Jordan's production company, and that's

391
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.599
not really journalism. But let's be
clear, Danny knows what he's doing.

392
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.519
He's good at He's good at getting
these companies, even when they are funding

393
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.960
the project, to talk about things
in a candid way that is useful and

394
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.319
and I mean I think he's one
of the best at doing that. So

395
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:57.680
uh, yeah, I'm not like
mad about this in any way. The

396
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:00.400
reality is it wouldn't happen any other
way. I mean, the last time

397
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:07.119
it did like it did happen was
with did Keiley do a the Last Hours

398
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.519
of Half Life Alex? I can't
remember, or he did on one before

399
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.720
that? Maybe yeah, it was
Half Life two, I can't quite remember,

400
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.359
Like Alex is the only Half Life
game I've ever played. The funneling

401
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.039
off really just to see these as
a blame spot for me, like when

402
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.519
when it was coming up, I
don't have access to PC against the first

403
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.200
time I ever owned it was the
Orange Box on three Sex Days, so

404
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.000
I I didn't have a great PC
at the time, and I was definitely

405
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.599
playing more mostly console games, but
Half Life was the one making enough ruck

406
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.119
is that I checked it out.
I'm like, yeah, I get it,

407
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:36.960
this seems pretty good, but I
didn't fall in love with it the

408
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:40.319
way a lot of people did.
So too busy playing Golden Eye with Travis

409
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.599
Kelcey. Of course, all right, we're gonna take a quick break.

410
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.440
We got a lot more news to
get to after that. I'll still be

411
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:51.880
here with the beautiful Jordan Midller until
then, see you soon. We're back

412
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:55.799
Jordan Midler, and we're talking about
Warner Brothers denying that the Wonder Woman game

413
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.759
will be a service game. After
that job listing that mentioned that this is

414
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.480
from Ryan Densdale over at IgM,
a Monolith Productions job listing suggest the upcoming

415
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.440
Wonder Woman game we'll have live service
elements, but one of my brothers is

416
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.960
saying that it's focus will be squarely
on single player. It's originally reported by

417
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.799
w ccf Tech Monolith of Middle Earth, Shadow of Mordor. Fame's currently looking

418
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.559
for a lead software engineer of gameplay
on Wonder Woman and what's the candidate to

419
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.960
have experience in helping maintain a live
service product or game when this happened,

420
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.480
Jordan, I'm sure like if you
guys wrote about this, you guys might

421
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.759
have mentioned this as well. When
people put this in job listings, it

422
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.240
doesn't mean all that much. Like
what was the big basis of our conversation

423
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.920
when we originally talked about this,
You can only take so much from a

424
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.559
job listing. People want a variety
of skills for any number of reasons,

425
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.480
not because it's like, oh,
the game is one that people do that

426
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.759
with With Mentroy Prime four all the
time those there's a million job listings for

427
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.200
that, and people like this is
what this means for Metro Prime four And

428
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:56.200
the reality is it means jack shit
for for these games? Yeah, and

429
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:02.000
was this was a great another great
example of how news is disseminated on Twitter

430
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:06.880
now because not Joe Westing became Wonder
Woman as a live service team. As

431
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.599
the end of the one would we've
seen it get a new truth rule with

432
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:15.079
plus three? I canna say on
it, but yeah, it's nice to

433
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.160
see what you're about to read happened. Yeah, let's see here. This

434
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.640
comes despite Wonder Woman being announced as
a single player, open world action game

435
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.240
feature an original story, with neither
developer Monolith or publisher Warner Brothers Games mentioning

436
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:32.279
live service elements previously. Wander Brothers
responded with a statement to ig and denying

437
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.400
that it will be a live service
game. Wonder Woman is a single player

438
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.640
action adventure game set in a dynamic
open world. The third person experience will

439
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:44.640
allow players to become Diana of the
Missouria and introduce an original story set in

440
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.759
the DC universe, while also featuring
the Nemesis system. Wonder Woman is not

441
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.440
being designed as a live service,
Warner Brothers spokesperson said. Now. Previously,

442
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:57.119
Warner Brothers CEO David Saslov said the
companies focused on transforming our biggest franchises

443
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:03.799
from largely largely console PC based with
three or four year release schedules to include

444
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.759
more always on gameplay through live services, multi platform and free to play extensions,

445
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.319
with the goal to have more players
spending more time on more platforms.

446
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.519
Now, David Zaslov obviously muddied the
waters there a little bit while this was

447
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.000
all happening. He basically said that
and then a couple of days later if

448
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.839
this job listing happened, so everyone's
like, well, clearly one in one

449
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.920
makes too. But again it's like, you know, I think we would

450
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.039
have heard one way or the other
if that was the case. And turns

451
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:30.519
out no, that's not what they're
making. At least that's what their claim.

452
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:37.240
Now. I bet, I bet
Wonder Woman has some sort of like

453
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.039
live service shadow inside of it where
it's like, yeah, they might have

454
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.599
updates that game over time, or
they might like it might get a rogue

455
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.000
light mode. That's a very popular
thing to do with a lot of different

456
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.079
games, and so maybe that comes
eventually. Is they want someone who has

457
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:53.519
the ability to build a game that
could turn into that through an update at

458
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.680
some point of time, but clearly
as the product will be sold, it's

459
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:02.279
going to be a single player a
game. But boy, that the specter

460
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.759
of live service is a thing for
a lot of gamers right now, right

461
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:08.960
yeah, it must really send the
ships up a lot of teams that are

462
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:14.519
currently working on live service games to
see every single they must just collate a

463
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.720
doc of every time one of these
happens to send it to upper management to

464
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:18.960
be like, this is what is
going to happen, and it's only going

465
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.960
to get more toxic the later we
leave this. How do how does the

466
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:27.839
how does WB not see the massive
success of single player asks Spider Man one

467
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:32.319
and two and not go okay,
let's just do one of those or even

468
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:36.720
more so, we made the best
Superhero well that that too, and also

469
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.920
a generation ago we made three of
the best superior games ever and they had

470
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:45.240
not one lick of like online component
to them. It's yeah, it's I'm

471
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.279
glad it's going to be single player. Is reaffirmed that they're going to use

472
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.160
the Nemesis system. Got to use
that pattern. They got to get the

473
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.880
money out of that. Yeah,
but yeah, it ends about half expired

474
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:57.240
by now, right. Yeah,
so they only had ten more. They're

475
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.759
gonna get like maybe one or two
more games out of that before that expires.

476
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:04.319
Yeah, although it's going to be
like when was it Namcore or something

477
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:07.960
had the patent for any games in
the loading screen and no one that anything

478
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.920
with it, So just like exactly, that's a lot of work. Fuck

479
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.519
that. Yeah, when did you
think this game is? Wait? Five?

480
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:22.240
Uh, that seems that's it's probably
twenty six. I would say,

481
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:25.480
like we got a story coming up
next, We're talking about Wolverine, and

482
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.000
it's like, okay, I mean
listen, I didn't necessarily really think that

483
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.039
would definitely be twenty twenty four,
But it's like, if that's getting pushed

484
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:33.599
out a little bit further. I
think Wonder Room it's twenty twenty six to

485
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.599
the earliest probably, and even that
seems like who knows, that could be

486
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.680
further along or further out than that. What do you think? I wonder

487
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.079
if we got a Hogwarts sequel before
we get Wonder Woman. Hogwarts sequel is

488
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:49.640
almost certainly all already in full development
now right. They've got the castle,

489
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:52.160
they've got the water. You don't
need to change it, you just need

490
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.559
to like beuld. I suppose like
another section. Let people go through the

491
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.880
other bets of the story they want
to. But the money that game made,

492
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.920
like come on now, Yeah,
I wonder what will happen with us.

493
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:07.640
I also wonder if suicide Squads scared
them a little bit, they're like,

494
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.920
okay, we need to We can't
have a suicide squad game that comes

495
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.039
in a little bit med. Although
from what I'm hearing, your loving suicide

496
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.759
squad now your team suicide. Oh
yeah, that's right. This might be

497
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.400
in this number one hater I got. I'd spray paint and purple spots all

498
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.319
over my body just let people know. Then I am weak for suicide Squad.

499
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.640
Yes, but yeah I could I
could see maybe twenty sex for wonder

500
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:37.119
Woman, late twenty five for I
suppose three years pretty quick. But if

501
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.480
it's just the same world, I
could see I could see them fitting Wonder

502
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:45.240
Woman and Hogwarts too, and within
twenty sex if you get me like before

503
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.920
that kind of area, and God
love us, if we ever get another

504
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:55.000
fucking Batman gave me that's just terrible
business making another Batman game. People don't

505
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.799
like Batman and it's never been popular. Who is Batman? Bat Who?

506
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:02.720
Yeah? I mean okay, I
mean at a certain point, like you

507
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:04.880
get it, like if rock Steady
wants to do something different, it's like

508
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.480
then you get to a point where
it's like, hey, well, now

509
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.119
you've been making a suicide squad a
squad game for a fucking decade. Is

510
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.440
that what you really wanted? Are
you fucking serious? The people that came

511
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:18.119
to work at rock Steady because they
love the Batman games have been making a

512
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.160
bucket suicide squad for eight years.
That's not what anyone wanted. So,

513
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.319
I mean, at least I don't
believe that's what anyone wanted. Maybe I'm

514
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.960
wrong. We'll see you gotta think
that. Look, rock Steady is in

515
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:36.200
the UK. You're not wrong,
You're wrong. Good luck to everyone over

516
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:37.440
there at rock Steady. If you
can get through this, maybe we'll get

517
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.440
back to some real shit. Uh
you know what, suicide squad. It's

518
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:42.960
probably gonna be fun though, Jordan, come on, man, let's play.

519
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:45.400
You can come play with the Sun
Giant Bob when that thing's out.

520
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:49.920
That would be fun. Yeah,
yeah, I being captain Bam is not

521
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.759
one of them. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, Captain mister Boomerang is definitely

522
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.839
sounds like one of them. But
who It's impossible. It's impossible to know

523
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.880
at this point, all right,
And sami I Wolverine won't release until twenty

524
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.519
twenty five, it report claims.
This is from Mike Straw at Insider Gaming.

525
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:08.920
Marvel's Wolverine game from Insomniac won't release
until twenty twenty five. At least,

526
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:13.839
that's what a new report claims.
According to known leaker Daniel Richmond,

527
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:16.000
not only will the upcoming game not
be released in twenty twenty four, but

528
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.359
will also feature a darker and more
violent tone than past games from the studio.

529
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.920
And this is something I said before
when I mentioned the hard R thing,

530
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:27.759
and everyone got very upset with me
because that means something different than the

531
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:31.559
last time I heard the term used. As far as location, it's set

532
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:37.039
to be in Madropore, a Southeast
Asian city within the Marvel universe. The

533
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.680
city has long been used as a
haven for pirates after being built upon the

534
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.160
back of a dragon. Fucking comics
are stupid. Its proximity to the most

535
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:50.599
important as reports makes it a largely
lawless haven for smugglers, secret societies,

536
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:54.640
and warlords. We saw that in
the trailer Wolverine, where Logan was hanging

537
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:59.960
out at a bar in madropor and
kind of setting a tone there. Yeah,

538
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:01.200
I mean, listen, even if
this game comes out in twenty twenty

539
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:06.720
five, that's like, that's still
in Samniac sticking to their rapid release schedule.

540
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.160
That's just it will be you know, a year, two years off

541
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:14.079
of Spider Man two. That's really
impressive, right, yeah, very much.

542
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.519
So don't Twitter report me on this. But I had the conversation about

543
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:21.839
Wolvering a while a while ago,
and it seemed that things are going at

544
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:25.839
Insomniac pace. And the biggest sticking
point was with Disney Slash PlayStation Slash all

545
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:30.519
rights holders. Let them make it, yes, horrifically violent like Wolverine ass

546
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.160
Wolverine game. Durdy's out on that, but yeah, I could, I

547
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:39.960
could see twenty twenty five. There's
been a lot of conversation about does so

548
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.319
no spoilers for Spider Man two the
game, but there's ways in which Spider

549
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.319
Man two sets up potential like half
games in DLCs, Like is where does

550
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.720
that fit in Insomniac has the two
teams, where's my boy Ratchet? When

551
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:54.519
are we getting back to another Ratchet
game? So yeah, twenty twenty five

552
00:33:54.599 --> 00:34:00.240
sounds all right. Yeah. Do
you think they're doing a second Ratchet a

553
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.000
generation these days? Or do you
think they just do the one Ratch again

554
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:05.920
per generation. I think I asked
you just the last time, how do

555
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:07.400
you feeling about it? Now?
I think we get one back half of

556
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.599
the get in Maybe I think it's
just like, yeah, me too.

557
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.880
I thought I thought if the part
was great, I guess my favorite fag

558
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:21.239
game. Yeah, you just you
just wonder like you don't want Insomniac to

559
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.599
just get bogged not bogged down,
but you don't want the exclusively to do

560
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:29.719
licensed Marvel stuff. You want them
to have their like silly fart and dick

561
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:31.320
jokes, right or when one for
me sort of thing. I want them

562
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:35.840
to still be able to pull that
off. And I think I think we

563
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:39.519
probably do that. We should pour
water on people's hopes and dreams. You're

564
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:44.599
never getting another Sunset Overdrive game.
Yeah, you're never getting another Sunset Over

565
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:47.239
The PlayStation doesn't want to do that. Yeah, they might re release the

566
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:51.800
first one if they can legally do
that, but there's not going to be

567
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:55.239
a Sunset Overdrive too. But yeah, maybe Spider Man DLC next year,

568
00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.320
Wolverine the following year, Ratchet again, and then Spider they've talked about.

569
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.400
Brian Anahar has been all over the
shop talking about how Spider Man's a trilogy.

570
00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.440
So maybe you close out of the
gym with Spider Man three like you

571
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.199
keep that going, so we'll see. I could I could see that,

572
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:13.760
dude. If the Spider Man DLC, do you think they do an expand

573
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:15.400
alone or do you think they just
add a DLC to this one this time?

574
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.119
I think Miles Morales so pretty damn
well. So if they can,

575
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:22.639
yeah, they can justify it.
They stuck that on a desk and go

576
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:28.519
here you fucking go, here you
go. Yeah, here's a who who

577
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:32.440
they keep teasing for that, the
uh the blind guy Daredevil? Is that

578
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.559
who they keep teasing. Yeah,
so people think Daredevil might be the DLC

579
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.800
because he has reference wasn't in the
Bass game. Then they updated it to

580
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.719
put it back and has been talking
about been teasing it hard. Yeah.

581
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:47.360
Yeah, it almost feels like a
Red Harring the way he's been teasing it

582
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:51.639
though, where he's like, look
at this ship. Eh, he closed

583
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:53.679
out a livestream, but he's like, where's Daredevil. I'm like, oh,

584
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:58.599
briand or have you finished Spider Man
two? I guess I have.

585
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:02.719
So the way that game ends,
theor to do a half game or a

586
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:07.039
d C, it would have to
somehow fat meds storyline of the actual game,

587
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.440
because what happens at the end can
only really be addressed by a full

588
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:14.440
sequel. Yes, exactly. Yeah, so it's a weird situation. But

589
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:16.360
yeah, but I mean I think
that's maybe why you do like a completely

590
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:23.119
new character or something along those lines. In that same John John Cena meets

591
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:29.559
the Spider Man. That's the greatest
thing since John Cena meets the fucking Mystery

592
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:34.239
Machine Team. Scooby Scooby the mesty. You have kids? Are kids not

593
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:38.239
in Scooby Doo anymore? Kids don't
get a fuck about Scooby Doo. I

594
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:44.559
don't show brother. I could show
my children a picture of Scubert do right

595
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.960
now and they would be like,
what is that thing? Yeah? Those

596
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:52.559
those live action Scooby to Them films
are pretty good. I think James Gunn,

597
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:54.159
Yeah, James Gunn, Yeah,
that's a wild thing. Yeah,

598
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:59.119
yeah, I think I like those
the Yeah, but some of the kids,

599
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.199
My kids don't even like Bluie.
My kids are weirdos. They are

600
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:06.199
They're dark and demented and so they
austrillions. Yeah, ohay they eve don't

601
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:10.199
despise them, Yeah, absolutely all
right. Borderlands four and Tiny Tina's Wonderland

602
00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:15.920
two mentioned on LinkedIn profile. This
is from Jordan Miller at VGC. Borderlands

603
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:19.400
four and Tiny Tina's Wonderland two have
been mentioned on a LinkedIn profile of a

604
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:23.159
former Gearbox employee. Mention of the
games appeared on the LinkedIn profile of former

605
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:29.320
studio technical director of Lost Boys Interactive, Randall Reese. Lost Boys Interactive worked

606
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.360
with Gearbox as a support studio on
the first Tiny Tina Tiny Tina game and

607
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:36.840
the other Take two properties, such
as w W E two K twenty three.

608
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:40.000
Borderlands three was released in September twenty
nineteen, with the spinoff Tiny Tino's

609
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:45.559
Wonderland releasing in twenty twenty two.
In twenty twenty two, Gearbox CEO Randy

610
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:49.639
Pichard said new Tiny Tina Tina's one. I can't fucking say that Tiny Tina's

611
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:54.360
Wonderlands experiences were in development after the
first game shattered the company's targets. Wonderlands

612
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:59.159
shattered all of our target expectations,
both critically and commercially. And I'm thrilled

613
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.480
to report then, and I should
do this as a magician voice to report

614
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:06.360
that, in addition to the great
financial rewards from this victory that will be

615
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:10.440
coming our way in the coming quarters, we've established a firm beachhead man this

616
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:15.360
fucking we have now clearly, we
clearly now have a new franchise on our

617
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:22.840
hands, with future experiences already under
development at Gearbox and Roddy patchword, just

618
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.559
gave me this USB drive to the
Oh yeah, let's go just like boot

619
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:28.800
it up. Let's boot it up
raw without looking at it first. Right

620
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.800
here on the string, there's a
folder here that says magic. I'm just

621
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:35.519
I'm not sure. Maybe it's gonna
explain how he does some of those wonderful

622
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:38.440
tricks of his, those holby grade
trucks, those hobby grade tricks. If

623
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:44.880
we're I'm very serious right now.
Uh yeah, no shit, I mean

624
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:49.960
the Borderlands and tiny tenas Wonderlands two, Uh seemed inevitable at a certain point

625
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.719
because they're now they're under Embracer,
and Bracer was going to green light anything

626
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:57.639
that made any money ever, and
these ones were like made real money,

627
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.920
both of them do. But it's
not I suppose it's maybe a little bit

628
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:06.480
surprising that they have both ready to
go right away, but that might makes

629
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:07.400
sense at a certain degree as well. How do you feel about it?

630
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:13.559
Yeah, the I think both Bartolines
are still a big still a big or

631
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:16.360
like Barboline four seemed like the most
obvious thing in the water. I really

632
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:21.159
really Bardolines two, I think is
an incredible game. The humors aged tertably,

633
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:23.599
but the gunplay is still good and
like Barlines three was fighting piny Tina

634
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:28.920
fighting also, but less so.
It's just there's a lot of Take two

635
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:32.079
properties and a weird malaise of the
manna that they need to kind of where

636
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:37.480
the fuck's this Bioshot game. I
was talking to someone about this Bioshot game

637
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:39.480
two years ago and they were like, yeah, I feel like they're gonna

638
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:43.239
have I feel like we're getting to
the point where we're probably gonna see something

639
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.159
from it. And it was just
they like, they it's weird over there

640
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:52.639
because they had that that like BioShock
like game that I can't even remember the

641
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.880
name of it, that was long
like long into development, that got canceled

642
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:58.440
a few years ago, like right
before the Game Awards and stuff like that.

643
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:00.079
So like they're in a weird situation
with a lot of those games over

644
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.840
there. Yet I don't know what's
going on with that BioShock game. It's

645
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:07.360
like so like again a borderline four
there buying if Tiny Tina made a lot

646
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:12.440
of money. Cool Tiny Tina,
I feel like was maybe I can't remember

647
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.559
specifically when it came out, but
I feel like it might have been caught

648
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.239
up in the wave of everyone buying
games during the pandemic. But yeah,

649
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:23.440
the I wonder if both of these
survive the embrace are crash. You wonder

650
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:30.880
if when Embracer all goes to Hell
and a handcart FM so Big Strauss's Ownik

651
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:35.119
was talking he wouldn't be drawn on
whether or not Take two would buy a

652
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.400
Gearbox, but Take two would buy
Gearbox, Yeah, like they would.

653
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:43.079
I mean because it like, if
we look like past this precedent, it

654
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:46.000
would be very similar to the THHQ
thing, where it's like if things didn't

655
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:51.760
get sold off before the bankruptcy,
these things would go to auction and take

656
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:54.119
I mean take two at that point. Could not afford to let someone else

657
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:59.000
get a Gearbox at that point,
right, because there's too much money.

658
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.320
Yeah, Like they're too they're too
tied and entangled with that, with that

659
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:07.280
stuff. So it would make sense. I wonder if, like, I

660
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:10.880
bet, like the reason two K
didn't buy Gearbox originally is like they probably

661
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:15.480
don't love working with Randy Pittrick.
And I'm just guessing and I'm maybe I'm

662
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:16.639
projecting, but they're like, ah, yeah, well buy it. But

663
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:19.880
Randy, you've got to sit on
the side, go make your movies,

664
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:22.320
but you got to sit on the
sideline or something like that. And they

665
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:24.119
would probably be able to make those
demands at a certain point. Uh,

666
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:28.480
if that's how it worked out,
I'm hearing, I'm hearing. I'm hearing

667
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:32.679
news the Embracer is in the process
of buying Mike Manaughty so well as everyone

668
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:37.480
knows he's for sale. I was
thinking, Uh, I like, Mike's

669
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.119
from a small enough town that we
could probably get him famous enough that they

670
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.000
would build a statue of him,
maybe maybe before he died. And I

671
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.000
think that would be very cool.
I'm like, what can we do to

672
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:51.800
make that happen? Did we just
dup him in bronze as he was dying

673
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:54.199
and make that the statue? I
mean we definitely couldn't. Maybe should we?

674
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:57.239
Absolutely? Real quick, let me
help this kid. What do you

675
00:41:57.239 --> 00:41:59.800
need to get up? Will you
let me run the show? Yeah?

676
00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:02.320
Yeah, run? If you're not
already subscribed to VGC, a video game

677
00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:06.960
podcast, that's a podcast weekly from
VGC. See all this news you hear

678
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:08.960
on games mess morning and they mispronounce
her names, are like, who is

679
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:14.960
this from? It's from VGC.
Go on to VGC series podcast. You'll

680
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:20.239
get a lot of podcasts about Pokemon. VGC the Competitive Video Game Championship.

681
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:22.920
That's not us. We have bad
SEO. But yeah, VGC a video

682
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:27.000
game podcast. Jeff was on a
million years ago, but he's been dodging

683
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:30.199
me ever since. That bastard.
I'm busy that day. What day is

684
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:31.760
it? What day is it?
What day is it? Jeff? That

685
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:37.400
day? Okay, okay, I
was. I was helping her and she

686
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:39.239
looks over at the computer and sees
you talking, and she goes, that's

687
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:49.960
a Mike Manati from the bout of
Babes. I don't have one of the

688
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.320
hats. I don't have one of
the hats. Wait, let me take

689
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:54.239
the glass and the glasses off.
I wish I was on mute because I

690
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:58.119
cracked up over there, but I
had myself muted. You kidding, you

691
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:01.440
got it? You're right over there. There you go. Someone on Twitter

692
00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:06.199
put a thing that's like last of
us PS four PS five compatison photos and

693
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:09.679
as me and Mike MANAUGHTI first person
to do that earns fifty retweets. That's

694
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:14.159
why I'll give you. Oh yeah, easy, easy, all right,

695
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:15.079
kiddo, there you go. You
should be able to just turn on the

696
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.960
PlayStation now and it should just work, and I'll get you to Spider Man

697
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:22.840
there in a second, all right. David Hayter hints that he has more

698
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:28.440
middle Gear Solid on the way.
This is from Johan mccaguard Hanson at Game

699
00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:31.880
Reactor. Before Jack Bauer actor Keeper
Southernwood and took over the role of Snake

700
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:36.400
and middle Gear Solid five the Phantom
pain It was David Hayter, who was

701
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:38.960
known as the voice of the iconic
Superspy while you left. The series has

702
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:44.440
various explanations, but one of them
is that hide hit hdeo Kojimo simply wanted

703
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:45.920
to attach a bigger name with the
role. That's one hundred percent. He's

704
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:49.280
the biggest starfucker in the world.
Of course, that's what it was,

705
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:52.440
despite a hater's great support among fans. Now, however, it seems that

706
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.599
the original voice behind the Solid Snake
and Big Boss may be heading back to

707
00:43:55.599 --> 00:44:00.880
the series. This after he posted
a cryptic tweet on on on Twitter where

708
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:04.360
he poses with old Snake from Middle
Gear Salad for with the text had a

709
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:08.320
pretty cool meeting the other day.
He's been doing like promotional work for that

710
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:12.039
that trilogy, the Master Collection that
just came out and stuff like that.

711
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:15.679
They're obviously bringing him back. Do
you think they have him do like new

712
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:19.880
lines for five? Oh, that
would be such a kick in the deck.

713
00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:22.760
I would actually, I think that
would be very very funny. I

714
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:25.760
don't know if they actually do it, but yeah, it's nice to see

715
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:30.400
David Haytor back involved with the franchise
because obviously means I hell a lot to

716
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:34.159
him. And there was those kind
of Marque Meddle years, so it was

717
00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:36.880
like it was like fuck it,
the Fresh Prince. It was like,

718
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.440
why you don't want me? Man? Like that kind of stuff. But

719
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:44.760
yeah, I think we wait and
see. Maybe one of these remakes they

720
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:49.159
do ends up being more expanded and
they have to like recording their lines for

721
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:52.760
it. I don't know. I
think just getting him on side is a

722
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:57.320
good step. I still can't believe. And maybe Dijama's too prideful to do

723
00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:00.519
this, and maybe Kanami's too prideful
to do this. I by the time

724
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.239
we get through all these remakes that
are in development from Ogier, one of

725
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.559
them has Kajima's like blessing on it, Like they just they wheel them out

726
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:12.360
on stage, and maybe like Sony
or Microsoft puts money into this or something

727
00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:14.880
like that, but it's like he's
not doing any work on it, but

728
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.920
it is produced at his executives,
produced once again by the O Kajima,

729
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:23.559
while Kajima's off making like a hyper
realistic eight K Timothy shala Man. Yeah,

730
00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:28.599
yeah, I think that is on
the grand scale of time of the

731
00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:31.360
video game industry. I think everyone
always comes back. Yeah, everyone always

732
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:37.119
comes back. If it happens in
wrestling where people are like legitimately murdering each

733
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:39.960
other and yet everyone eventually goes back
and works for Vince McMahon it's like it's

734
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.480
gonna happen in the games industry,
which is just wrestling diet wrestling at a

735
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:47.880
certain point. So yeah, I
mean, I think Kojima eventually will forgive,

736
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:52.719
especially if enough money is involved,
and uh forgive, he will accept

737
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:55.880
the check and then I do exactly
what you said. Now. I don't

738
00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:59.800
think it'll happen with this one.
I go happen down the line a little

739
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:01.880
bit. If that one's good,
bet, if that one's like well received

740
00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:07.960
and seems pretty respectful. I feel
like the Kajima is the bright heart of

741
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:09.599
video games. You know, it
can come across a bit better, but

742
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:14.519
if things work out, he'll go
back and protect the legacy. Yep.

743
00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:17.719
The last thing Kajima wants it's for
Konami to make a canonical metalgear sex that

744
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.440
he has nothing to do with.
YEA that will really fuck come off.

745
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:27.920
So we'll see. Uh. Speaking
of the man himself, Hideo Kojima and

746
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.840
Timothy Shallomey the collaboration we didn't know
we needed. This is Malex Hopley at

747
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:36.360
Game Reactordeo. Kajima is a pretty
popular guy. He's linked up with plenty

748
00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:40.559
of big name celebrities, including Norman
Ritas, Lea Sodu, Margaret Quality,

749
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:45.519
Ellie Fanning, and more. Also
all name all the names I just listened

750
00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:47.559
to either appear in Death Stranding or
said to him appear in the sequel.

751
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:52.119
So a lot of the time when
people see Kojima Kochama leaking up with celebs,

752
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.400
it seems like there's business to be
had. Most recently the video game

753
00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:00.760
I'll Turn met up with Timothy Shallomey
the Dune Part two start. Might have

754
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:01.920
a lot on his plate right now, but he still had time for a

755
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:06.960
visit to coach of the studios coaching
my productions. Excuse me, do you

756
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:12.639
think what movie do you think Hideo
just watched that made him want to have

757
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.199
Timothy Shalloon be innes? It was
probably doing right. He got a preview

758
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:17.679
of Wonka and it was like,
I need to get to get him and

759
00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:21.320
there, and I think this ends
up being, you know, in the

760
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:23.519
first Death Stranding, like there was
some celebs and it, but they didn't

761
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:27.000
voice themselves. They were just like
the people you went in to PA.

762
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:30.639
So yeah, yeah, Edgar right, people like that. I bet you

763
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:34.199
this is a that here thing,
because I know someone who did like a

764
00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:37.159
documentary and Jus Studios, and it
was like every time he gets one of

765
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:39.679
these people and he scanned them because
it makes like no time at all.

766
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:45.000
So he adds them to his collection
of humans. Yeah, very much,

767
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:49.039
And so yeah I can see this. We know Tenz Shalom is like a

768
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:52.800
gamer. He used to have a
YouTube channel where he reviewed Xbox controller and

769
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:55.000
he would he would paint custom Xbox
controllers. Yes, I think I did

770
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.960
a story on that on this show. Yeah, so I think that it

771
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:02.599
makes total sense. That's not that
saysn't Kama just dragging in has like his

772
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:07.000
favorite boy of the week. He
was probably like Tempsey Shalome was probably probably

773
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:08.719
hate to go there. Oh yeah, I mean this is this is coach

774
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:12.400
of his favorite boy of the week. But it's that's not all it is.

775
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:16.079
Yes, yeah, so I pointed
this out on Twitter. I think

776
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:20.400
if Cojima is still involved in the
Matle Gear movie, Chalomy for riding would

777
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:22.960
be perfect. He's get little bet
ch energy, so I think he'd be

778
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:27.079
the I would love that. That
would rule our wolves. Assays Giant Bob

779
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.840
should buy a scanner and start collecting
at TGA. Don't give jan ideas,

780
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:34.639
all right? He won one million
percent. Want to do that. Don't

781
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:37.400
give jan ideas, don't give him
more work to do. You can just

782
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:39.800
scan Mike Manotti and change the accent
for me. That's like a feede right

783
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:45.079
there. It's perfect. You've heard
his pack impression. He's he could do

784
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:51.800
it himself, all right, let's
see here. EESRB listing reveals Konami is

785
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:53.840
looking to bring back Felix the Cat
came for Switch, This is her mind,

786
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:59.199
Nintendo News. The Entertainment Software Ratings
Board is a great source for unannounced

787
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:01.719
games, and the latest game which
has been rated is The Felix the Cat.

788
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.159
The game is set to land on
Nintendo Switch and other platforms and has

789
00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:08.679
been given an E rating by the
US Rating Board. The Felix the Cat

790
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:14.519
game originally launched on Nintendo Entertainment System
and was developed by Hudson Soft and published

791
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:16.800
by Konami. Uh there's a summary
here. But there's a bunch of Felix

792
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:20.440
the Cat games. This could be
a collection. Hey, I I remember

793
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:22.639
playing these games back then and being
like, man, the Depression was a

794
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:27.679
fucked up time. They had some
really wack cartoon characters, but hey,

795
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:30.440
they were fine. It was Konamia
Hudson working together. It was pretty good.

796
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:35.760
How do you feel about all this
Felix the Cat is I'm gonna put

797
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:38.760
in a list of things that I
know absolutely that call about tell me and

798
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:43.440
three sentences. What kind of game
as any good? Will anyone care?

799
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:50.079
Uh? Most people won't care.
They're okay games and they're they're they're like

800
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:57.079
they're platforms. From what I remember
is this bubbzy g it's like proto bubbzy

801
00:49:55.480 --> 00:50:00.199
Felix cat is. You know,
there's like garth Field and then like Heathcliff,

802
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:05.119
and then like Felix was below Heathcliff
in a certain way. So yeah,

803
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:07.559
yeah, I used to like cartoonist, only knew how to drew a

804
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:10.000
couple of draw a couple of things
back then. So yes, that's we

805
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:14.679
just kept getting all these cats,
okay. At someone points out that there

806
00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:16.000
was a rapper known as Felix the
Cat. I used to have a cat

807
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:19.159
cold Felix because I don't know if
this is in the US, but there

808
00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:22.760
was a cat foods brand called Felix
where they have a little Maggie cat black

809
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:27.280
and white. So very unimaginative seven
year old me named the cat Felix and

810
00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:30.960
he loved to be about three hundred
years old. So I'll wesh every good

811
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:36.000
fortune through the Felix the cat heads
out there. My first cat was named

812
00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:39.280
Slimer from the Ghost Pusiders. Yeah, all right, last story here,

813
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:42.599
and this is more like, hey, hey, everyone go read this how

814
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:46.159
Black Myth Wukong developer's history of sexism
is complicating its journey to the West.

815
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:54.119
Adaptation from Rebecca Valentine and Key Hoogton
at IgM and this she'll acclaim. Okay,

816
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:57.800
actually, I kind of just broke
down a bunch of stuff here trying

817
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:02.000
to like make this like a version. Really, what this is is a

818
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:07.360
really good breakdown of this studio getting
built up in a big way based on

819
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:13.960
the virility of the original reveal for
Myth Wukong, Black Myth Wukong, and

820
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:19.079
then the sort of a lot of
criticisms coming out of the developer because they

821
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:22.519
speak in at least some of the
people at the studio speaking a very crude

822
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.519
way, often about women. And
for me, Jordan, I'm always in

823
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:34.119
a position of like it's tough for
me over here in the United States to

824
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:37.199
criticize developers in other countries where their
culture is different, while we still have

825
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:42.440
people in our culture that behave this
way or worse. So what I'm very

826
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:46.320
thankful about this story is and this
just shows the hard work of hitting the

827
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:52.039
pavement that Rebecca Valentine and Kihu Chan
did, of speaking to women in China

828
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:57.079
who voice their own criticisms, and
there's a lot of this in that story,

829
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:00.679
and I'm just like deeply appreciative of
that work, a really good story

830
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:02.679
that breaks that stuff down. I
don't think it's some like thing where it's

831
00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:06.280
like this game can never recover from
this, But I'm like, at the

832
00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:08.440
same moment, very glad that this
criticism is happening, because I always feel

833
00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:12.199
like a little bit like, oh
man, this this game feels like it's

834
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:15.639
coming from a place of a lot
of talent, but maybe their sensibilities are

835
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:19.719
a little bit behind where I would
prefer my creatives to come from. Like

836
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:22.000
a lot of these other the people
that I follow all my life, they've

837
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.039
been through the Ringer and have learned
how to treat people, or at least

838
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:29.920
have learned how not to treat people, and this feels like maybe that those

839
00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:31.760
lessons haven't been learned here. But
again, who am I to say,

840
00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:35.320
well, you know what, these
women in China, they're the ones to

841
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:37.119
say and they are saying it,
and it's been a nice thing to read.

842
00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:40.000
Did you get a chance to look
into this? And I just I

843
00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:44.199
just saw it pop pop as I
was kind of bom reb as our friend.

844
00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:46.440
She's one of the very best of
us. So I'm really interested to

845
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:51.760
look at this. People need to
stop conflating reporting like this as like a

846
00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:55.880
takedown all of the game itself or
a preemptive review, and that stuff is

847
00:52:55.880 --> 00:53:00.960
important. Where your games get made
math or who makes them math, and

848
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:05.199
that's this is doubt the kind of
thing about I'm so glad that IGN's paying

849
00:53:05.239 --> 00:53:09.320
company as putting money into though they're
they're willing to let people like grabbing,

850
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:14.039
people like go and do this stuff. And so yeah, as a as

851
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:20.880
an obsolute recommendation, yeah, brilliant, brilliant stuff. Yeah, I agree.

852
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:22.719
And it's like, I mean,
the power of an apology goes a

853
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:24.880
long way. So it's like,
oh, I mean, all they got

854
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:28.679
to do is just connot say we're
sorry, we learned, and really that

855
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:31.239
will do undo a lot of the
damage. It's not a permanent fix.

856
00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:35.519
You have to actually be better in
the long run. But saying you're sorry

857
00:53:35.559 --> 00:53:37.480
really does work. And it's like, this is an opportunity for this company

858
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:40.639
and the people there to do that
and see if they're cable at or if

859
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:44.079
they double down, and we'll see, we'll see what they do. But

860
00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:46.960
I know what I prefer, and
I know the kind of people that refuse

861
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:52.480
to apologize for like making like just
kind of crass jokes and then be like,

862
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:54.320
oh, I was this just an
al bundi joke? God, It's

863
00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:57.760
like, oh, just say you're
sorry, Homy, and people would be

864
00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:00.480
much better off with with you.
And it's like, no, you refuse

865
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:02.800
to We know what you are.
So yeah, we'll see how this goes

866
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:07.559
down. Looking forward to seeing more
reporting from this as well. And you

867
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:10.159
missed the most important story of the
day. Jef o'h hit me with it

868
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:15.719
Returnals director is leaving. How smart? Oh that's right, Yeah, that's

869
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:17.400
I did see that. Meant to
include that. Yeah, what was his

870
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:22.599
name? Paddy Krueger? Hardy Krueger
is a lovely, lovely man and he

871
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:29.480
directed the very best game on the
PlayStation five, So happy happy trails to

872
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:34.920
him. Pound for I've said this
on Twitter between Housemark and remedy pound for

873
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:39.159
pound, population for population, Finland
is the greatest country on Earth for developers.

874
00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:44.119
It's maybe land size. It is
the same as Japan, but there's

875
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:46.760
one hundred and twenty five million people
in Japan and there's like five people in

876
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:52.119
Finland. And and they all worked
at Rovio and then left and I think

877
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:55.079
it was Finland. I can't keep
track of it anymore. And then started

878
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:59.199
their own studios, and yeah,
they're doing pretty good work over there.

879
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:05.679
I am very curious about like where
how I mean this. I always say

880
00:55:05.719 --> 00:55:08.119
that people leave these companies because there's
a lot of opportunity to start your own

881
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:12.079
studios. I'll be interested to see
what that looks like for Harry Krueger,

882
00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:15.519
who almost certainly will not be leaving
the game industry permanently. But oh no,

883
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:17.760
definitely no. If he can,
he can go and do his own

884
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:22.280
VC stuff. A see very very
quickly. I thought the best game on

885
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:24.599
PS five was Teelu Park two.
It's not on PS five yet, it

886
00:55:24.719 --> 00:55:30.280
will be soon. Jordan Medler undefeated. Thank you all right? I got

887
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:35.760
a pollhole from Friday. Would Taylor
Swift have enjoyed playing GoldenEye with Travis Kelcey,

888
00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:40.599
yes or no, I'm gonna say
no. Said no and forty said

889
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:45.239
yes. That was two thousand votes
there, So shout outs to the uh

890
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:47.159
all the idiots out there willing to
go along with me on these stupid polls.

891
00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:52.119
Did you see that that Travis kelce
was like, oh, halo gaealo,

892
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:58.280
but the real people played gold and
I Travis Kelcey is on a profession,

893
00:55:58.280 --> 00:55:59.960
but it takes a lot of hats
to the head. And that's all

894
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:04.159
I'll say on that matter. Are
yout Are you swifty? I'm not,

895
00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:07.320
but I'm also not a juggle,
though I try to stay independent. I'm

896
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:10.679
a I'm a huge swifty. I
think Taylor Swift is absolutely fantastic being a

897
00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:15.800
swifty before this TikTok generation. You
know what sick individual turned me on to

898
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:21.679
Taylor Swift. I'm going to say
Greg Miller correigt Im going to I'll give

899
00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:24.559
you a clue. He's seven foot
ten, he is he has the wingspan

900
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:32.760
of a golden egle, and he
just yeah, that sounds right. But

901
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:37.119
yeah, the I think they're nice
together. Look, I spent a lot

902
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:43.599
of my time on the Galer subreddit, which, like the ongoing I don't

903
00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:45.719
want to say conspiracy theory because that
is a bit of a pejorative. The

904
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:52.079
ongoing theory that Taylor Swift is a
bisexual woman and that she previously had relationships

905
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:55.039
with women and she's not coming out
because of the media, et cetera.

906
00:56:55.360 --> 00:57:00.320
And they do not like Travis kelse
over there. Oh really, I've talked

907
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:04.119
to some Swifties and they seem like, oh no, we're very happy with

908
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:07.960
our new dad, Travis kelcey.
But those that I do not believe that

909
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:10.960
they are frequenting the the r slash
galer. Is that what you said?

910
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:15.400
Yeah, okay, I mean that's
a I'm glad the internet's out there,

911
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:16.800
still doing its thing in a kind
of a beautiful way. You guys,

912
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:19.960
you guys, Yeah, they take
care of yourselves. Now, all right,

913
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:23.679
don't go too wild with that stuff, all right, Newpole question,

914
00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:27.159
are you going to update the Last
of Us? Part two? For ten

915
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:30.960
dollars? We'll talk about that on
Giant Bomb on Wednesday. We should have

916
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:34.519
a show. Who knows, we'll
figure it out. It's a short week

917
00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:37.039
because of American Thanksgiving. While we
figured that out, Jordan, what do

918
00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:39.280
you have going on? Where can
people find you all that good stuff.

919
00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:44.760
Oh, what the hell is going
on this week? I'll ask you that.

920
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:46.159
I'll ask you this question and do
an answer if you're all our towns.

921
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:50.159
Are you playing the Apatar yet,
because we're not. No, I'm

922
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:52.760
not playing kind of. I guess
that's coming out soon. What the fuck?

923
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:55.639
Oh, holy crap, that's coming
out soon. They're not going to

924
00:57:55.679 --> 00:58:00.760
send that out before Thanksgiving, I
don't think. Yeah, it's like that.

925
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:02.360
They would have to answer emails and
stuff and they're just not going to

926
00:58:02.440 --> 00:58:07.079
do that over here in the colonies, So there are no Thanksgiving. Like,

927
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:09.679
I'm wondering what's going on with that, because look, it was a

928
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:13.079
dog shit game, but the last
Barcry we had a lot of time with

929
00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:17.639
it, So we'll see what happens
there. VGC podcast on Thursday, a

930
00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:23.440
whole lot of Oh something's happening tomorrow
that I went to see last week at

931
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:29.880
two pm UK time, come to
VGC and we'll have a nice, very

932
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:32.079
a preview that is going to very
limited amounts of people. Great, I've

933
00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:37.639
thought it was six baby, let's
go pretty much. Yeah, not much,

934
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:42.519
man, just trying to chill ax, relax out, cool, hang

935
00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:45.800
about with my PlayStation portal, the
world, the greatest handheld device, better

936
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:50.599
than the switch. Some may say, also, sorry, well I've got

937
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:54.960
this platform. Tie and crack.
On Twitter yesterday a lot of people went

938
00:58:55.079 --> 00:59:00.079
crazy because I responded to a friend
saying that I'd heard that, and the

939
00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:04.000
Last of Us at Part two is
not the only thing going on at Naughty

940
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:07.960
Dog. Of course, it's not
the only thing going on a dog that

941
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:13.480
saysn't news. Yeah, you can
get a fucking life. Okay. People

942
00:59:13.480 --> 00:59:16.239
were very nice about it. People
were very excited. But one person told

943
00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:20.719
me this, relax, if it
was news, it would be on VGC.

944
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:23.440
God bless you heard it from him. Everybody, get those rocks out

945
00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:27.360
of your head. God, damn
it, all right, think for once,

946
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:30.199
use your noggin. Jordan, thank
you so much for hanging out today

947
00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:32.599
with me talking about video games.
I mean, I really appreciate it,

948
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:36.440
of course, brother, thank you
all for hanging out. We're gonna go

949
00:59:36.440 --> 00:59:38.280
figure out what's going on this week. I honestly don't know. I kind

950
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:40.519
of I want to play some more
Allen Wake two. It's not there's not

951
00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:43.960
a lot of time to fit that
in, but I think ideally I will

952
00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:46.760
least have one session of Alan Wake
two today or either this week, either

953
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:52.440
today maybe Wednesday, we'll see.
We will have a BombCast tomorrow. I

954
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:55.519
kind of want to like started like
a Thanksgiving tradition for BCR, but I

955
00:59:55.559 --> 00:59:58.519
don't know if we're gonna have time
to record that. Like I just I

956
00:59:58.559 --> 01:00:00.079
just can't commit other people to do
and stuff yet, and really I don't

957
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:04.280
know when we'd fit it in.
So look out for some stuff this week,

958
01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:06.840
but we'll be back in full force
next week. I hope everyone in

959
01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:09.599
America has a nice Thanksgiving. Everyone
else everywhere, you know, be unthankful,

960
01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:13.559
folks. I don't care until next
time, have a good one,

961
01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:15.960
take care of yourself and goodbye,
bye bye
