Is what I 8 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.759 was about to say, and then I just changed to reading what I actually 9 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.920 wrote halfway through, and then the game scent went off, So it's all 10 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.320 going really well over here. Tam went off, amazing. That is his 11 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.880 peak. That is that's the life I've chosen, apparently, Tam, how 12 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.960 are you doing. I'm all right, man, you know it's I made 13 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.359 the mistake of opening it as soon as I go up and let me go. 14 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.439 Yeah, it's bad. Man is bad today They really like just took 15 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.159 that web site into a lab and engineered it to be so much worse than 16 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:18.159 it ever was. It is impressive. It's impressive. You know the you 17 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.920 know what the thing is about it, though, it is now transparently clear 18 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.159 when people are being shitty, yeah for the sake of shitty, because they 19 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.280 made money to be Yeah. It used to be like when someone was shit, 20 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.560 you would be like, is this person really like this? This is 21 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.640 awful. Now it's just like everyone is doing this, and it's just like, 22 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.040 come on, we know what you're doing this. It's got easier to 23 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.159 just be like, okay, I I don't like, I really don't even 24 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.079 have to engage. I just can laugh for delete block you ignore. Yes, 25 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.879 absolutely, but it is. I quickly closed it and they went to 26 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.640 TikTok to watch the guy that restores game boys. Oh that's the good stuff. 27 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.079 Okay, yeah, guys, that's good stuff. Uh yeah, Although 28 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:06.519 he did this thing what he experimented with the view of how he's shooting it, 29 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.240 and he has one of those screwdrivers that like is motorized, so the 30 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.280 camera spins with it and it is He was like, I'm trying this new 31 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.080 viewpoint. And then you open the comment and just like, never do this 32 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:25.840 again. This sucks. Man. I have an unput together like a game 33 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.080 Boy FPGA kit that I finally got the buttons for h and I'm gonna do 34 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.439 that this week, and I'm gonna sit down and put together it's a game 35 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.919 Boy color. Basically, it's a game Boy color in every way except for 36 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.039 the actual internals. But then that's just the FPGA, which is acting exactly 37 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.000 like a game Boy color. Uh. And I'm very excited. Although I 38 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.360 haven't put it together yet. And I was watching a video about someone putting 39 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.719 an o leed screen into this or into a game Boy Color. I'm like, 40 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.719 man, should I just go get an o lead screen instead, and 41 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.120 so I don't have to take it apart when I decided to change that later. 42 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.479 Yeah, buddy, So I'm I'm probably gonna get I gotta stop getting 43 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.960 these because I've got like the what's that called the meu Mini me Mini? 44 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.759 Yep, I've got one of those.

Like I 60 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.759 was playing what was playing? I was playing Pokemon fire Red on it, 61 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:25.160 and it's just it's so easy. Yeah, Pokemon is an ideal game or 62 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.759 that scenario right there. Yeah, that looks great. I got like Pokemon 63 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:36.720 and all the Castlevania games on on the g B a GB devices, and 64 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.879 then Advanced Wars and the Final Fantasy.

Yeah, I am hitting literally, I'm gonna 69 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.560 hit pay now because someone put the link to the Amberdick game Boy Advance SP 70 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:12.360 one and there it goes. I am hitting paid. Let's see. It's 71 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.879 the it's gotta it's one of those model numbers, but it's if you scroll 72 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.399 down dj T Money put it in chat. It is the Ambernik r G 73 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:27.319 thirty five xx SP. Does it looks like a game Boy Advance SP That's 74 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.079 what I've been kind of waiting for. I in my heart, like, 75 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.720 I know, my hands are like kind of too big at this point to 76 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.079 really I'm too old. It is the real thing. To really use the 77 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.920 SP in a way that's super comfortable. I don't care. I The SP 78 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.879 to me was just such peak gaming. It's everything I was hoping for when 79 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.879 they first announced the game Boy Advance. And I love the clamshell design. 80 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.600 I love just throwing it in the pocket. They and it. Apparently they 81 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:57.439 nailed it Homeboy over at retro Core. He looked at it early and he 82 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.639 was very satisfied with it. So I'm just bought it, especially selling fifty 83 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.199 dollars right, yes, exactly, I got I'm getting the silver one. 84 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:10.079 I think I ended up I ended up like paying like with shipping and taxes 85 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.279 and everything. I think it was like sixty five seventy ish. So so 86 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.199 on its way, we'll see. I can't wait to get it. It's 87 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.959 coming from China. It'll probably a couple weeks. What's gonna happen is I'll 88 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.600 forget that this moment happened, and then it'll show up and it'll be another 89 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.759 little treat for me from me.

All right, we have let to 98 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.279 get into so let's start the morning mess with Grand Theft Auto six launches in 99 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.040 fall twenty twenty five. This is from z al Romano over at Gamatsu. 100 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.839 So you said, Sorrowman, It's from Salaman over at Gamatsu. Saramon. 101 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.160 If we're saying your name wrong, feel free to let me know. Uh. 102 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.600 Grand Theft Auto six will launch for PlayStation five at Xbox Series in fall 103 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:19.160 twenty twenty five. Rockstar games parent company Take To Interactive Software announced previously the 104 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.000 game had only been confirmed for a general twenty twenty five release. In the 105 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.639 press release announcing the company's latest financial results, Take two Interactive Chairman and CEO 106 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.399 of Strauss Zelmich said, as we enter fiscal twenty twenty five with positive momentum, 107 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.720 we expect to deliver netbookings of five point five five billion to five point 108 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.360 sixty five billion. That's way down from what they were initially saying because they 109 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.759 moved on the Grand Theft Auto out of this fiscal year. We are highly 110 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.519 confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience, and our expectations for 111 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.680 the commercial impact of the title continue to increase. Looking ahead, we believe 112 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.480 that our company is poised to achieve new levels of success and we expect to 113 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.839 deliver sequential growth blah blah blah. But they expect to do that for the 114 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.040 next several years after that game comes out, because of course they're counting on 115 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.079 the new GTA Online or whatever to do very well. This is where we're 116 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.800 with Grand Theft Auto. Previously, previously it sounded like, oh, maybe 117 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.839 early next year, and then we saw and that was because Take two previously 118 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.920 said hey, our fiscal twenty twenty five is gonna be massive. Then they 119 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.639 scaled things back and everyone went okay, or everyone said that means they are 120 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.319 moving in out of the fiscal year, so sometime after March of twenty twenty 121 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.120 five, and now they're saying second half of twenty twenty five. This is 122 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.679 Grand Theft Auto massive game. They were always going to like delay this several 123 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.000 times. Yeah, yeah, I think so, I mean, like it 124 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:43.039 could. I'm not one hundred percent sure that this thing is coming out until 125 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.080 it's literally the day of and it's available. I agree. I wouldn't be 126 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.440 surprised if they they were like, oh, yeah, we're delaying it again. 127 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.879 We need a little bit of extra time because if anyone is able to 128 00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.000 do that and get away with it very like they could delay the day before 129 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.279 and people would be like, hell, yeah, brother, take the time 130 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.480 you need. Don't worry about it. This thing is going to make a 131 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.120 trillion dollars. You just take any time you need, right, And it's 132 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.240 like, what are the fans of Great thefto AT are going to do? 133 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.360 Be like, well, now, I won't play it like no, we 134 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.080 all exactually all know that they're going to show up. Whenever it's available. 135 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.240 They will show up, so they're not there's no risk of like, well, 136 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.440 let's take us trying to make sure we get it right. The risk 137 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.159 is you know, coming out and having something fizzle and have to rebuild and 138 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.559 having all the costs involved with that and trying to win people's trust back. 139 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.399 So I think everyone involved knows, hey, if this thing hits, we 140 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.279 really can have massive growth and all these things that we're looking for and you 141 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.360 know, satisfy the fans of the series. But you know, they don't 142 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.559 want to miss in the first place. So that's why we keep hearing this 143 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.679 thing slipping in the background. You know, they've never said, they never 144 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.279 said officially, like early twenty twenty five, that was just like in line 145 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.559 with their expectations. So they haven't publicly delayed this thing, so they're not 146 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.720 even to that point where they've put a date on it that has slipped, 147 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.519 you know, externally that could still happen, though, we could get to 148 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.120 that point as well. Honestly, I would expect maybe one more of those. 149 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.000 That thing launching in early twenty twenty six is just not out of the 150 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.360 realm of possibility at all. No, this this is the game that a 151 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.559 lot of like anas are looking to, like, this is the thing that's 152 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.120 going to finally move this uh like console cycle forward. Uh. You know, 153 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.399 we had the report early earlier this week TAM that half of PlayStation's monthly 154 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.039 active users are still on PS four and there they are using that thing all 155 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.799 the time to play games. They already have Grand Theft Ato Online, Roadblocks, 156 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.120 Minecraft, Call of Duty, all these games that you know, Fortnite, 157 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.120 Grand Theft Auto six is the one that, like, when it's not 158 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.039 available on your PS four, a lot of those people are going to move 159 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.480 forward, right Yeah. Yeah, that's the I wonder if Sony is out 160 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.639 there trying to make bundles happen right now, or even Microsoft like I would 161 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.799 because that I don't think they have they ever done a grand thefto of bundle. 162 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.519 I can't think of a no a. I can't one anyway, I 163 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.960 can't remember. But like in my years of retail work as well, I 164 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.639 don't think they did a grand theft or like four bund or a five bundle. 165 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.320 But most retailers will be like, hey, we'll chuck these in together 166 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.519 and here you go. But I one hundred percent people will be moving on. 167 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:24.600 I am very, very keen to see what the the adoption rate looks 168 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.240 like post gtaich is. It's gonna be You're right, though, it's it's 169 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.840 gonna be wild. People are just gonna be like, Okay, I'm getting 170 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.240 one of these things now because this is the game I will. I will 171 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.159 spend like four hundred, five hundred dollars on this, but I will be 172 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.240 playing this game for the next seven years, so it'll be worth my while. 173 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.080 Do you think like this getting announced for a second half of twenty twenty 174 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.440 five or for Fall twenty twenty five really, do you think that has has 175 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.840 a further cooling effect on people's excitement for getting new consoles, for getting games 176 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.480 like this year because I don't. I don't feel that way. And I 177 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.240 think when we're like we're talking to each other on the show, and when 178 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.960 like I see how the audience is reacting the live chat, I get the 179 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.000 sense that people are like, well, yeah, I'm gonna play Grand Theft 180 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.559 Auto when it's here. But in the meantime, there's all these great games 181 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.360 to play. But did you get the sense that maybe the wider audience it's 182 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.200 a little bit different. Yeah. I mean, like we're talking about two 183 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:20.279 very distinct audiences. We have the people who are paying attention to games and 184 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.799 are actively like interested in playing new games. I think once the time conditions 185 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.720 in their lives meet what's necessary to buy a console immediately, that's pretty much 186 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.919 what they'll do. The people who will wait. Other the normies, the 187 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:41.840 general people, the people who make up the bulk of the ridiculous sales of 188 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.879 Grand Theft or All because you know game is by it. But that's if 189 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.919 every game about it, it wouldn't be enough to really hit the numbers that 190 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.799 we know that Grand Theft or Well hits. It's when the normies come along 191 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.519 and are like, this is Grand Theft a all time baby. That's when 192 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.919 it like truly Skyrockets. I think the Normanis are the people who are like, 193 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.120 oh, this is the thing that I know that I can play and 194 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.639 I love, and that's when they come along. But I think that for 195 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:15.519 gamers and people who are like have an interest in games or even like have 196 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.440 the other they have other franchises that they are into beyond Grand Theft or like 197 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.960 the Call of Duties or even like the Marios and stuff, they will grab 198 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.279 it the moment their life conditions me. Like, you know, some people 199 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.919 it's like, oh, I just you know, save up money. Some 200 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.360 people are like, oh, I'm just gonna wait for this period to get 201 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.080 to this year or this, you know, and then treat myself et cetera, 202 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.080 et cetera. And I think that's that's how it works. So all 203 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.480 that, like when you just said, Mario, I'm like, okay, 204 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.919 switch To probably will be out next year. Do you think there's any world 205 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.159 in which this game launch is on PlayStation five X, Fox Series X and 206 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.879 S and switch To No? I agree, I agree. I don't think 207 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.279 so, not a launch. I think this is something that could happen like 208 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.639 years later maybe, but not definitely not at one. I not to say 209 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:07.679 Nintendo would ever turn it down. But I think there's probably people at Nintendo 210 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.919 that think it's in their best interest not to have a grand Theft or game 211 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:18.480 on their console near launch, just because they need the time to establish the 212 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:26.840 the ongoing reputation that they're a very friendly to young people and casual people platform, 213 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.320 and I feel like people would see a Grand Theft are and be like 214 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.399 the fuck this is that? Yeah, I don't. I don't think this 215 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.120 is my own conspiracy theory. No, no, totally. I'm like I'm 216 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.720 trying to like there's definitely a time you never want to go to a party 217 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:43.799 and have Warrior open the door. You'll be like, what what kind of 218 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:50.240 party is this? Yeah? Like I wanted Lintendo, like even like I 219 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.960 think they're like at a point where like, whorse are going to go for 220 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.399 family gaming? Like you gonna go to Xbox middle PlayStation? Yeah, they 221 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.120 don't give they don't give a damn out all that time. I mean we 222 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.080 got Mario so whatever, despite you know the games that head phones. Yeah, 223 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.639 oh yeah, you're right, but like at a certain point they don't 224 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:07.279 know you've had to like really undo that. But like, hey, there's 225 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.919 fifty games to have the word hint tie on the shop every day, and 226 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.960 that has that hasn't stopped anybody. But you're right, that is different than 227 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.639 a Grand Theft Auto makes headlines. No one like No. Actually, the 228 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.000 average parent doesn't know first what hint I is and the second that that it's 229 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.559 there are games to have that word in the title on the shop. Those 230 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.279 those people have had children. They know You're right, I shouldn't they been. 231 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.320 They've been on the sexual Jenny that got them to child rearing if they 232 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.279 know. And welcome to our lesson on hint II. Everybody, Thank you 233 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.799 for listening. Yeah, hey, Grand Theft Auto is gonna be huge. 234 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.120 I think it's going to move a lot of things. I will be I 235 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.480 think a little frustrated because I do expect the way it's going to go is 236 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.120 the way that Rockstar has done it for the last several times, severalast last 237 00:15:54.120 --> 00:16:00.320 several major launches. Excuse me, Grand Theft Auto five Xbox three, sixty 238 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:06.120 year later comes to Xbox one and PlayStation PlayStation four, then a year after 239 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.440 that came to PC, so like two years between the launch and the PC 240 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.840 one and Red Dead Redemption two comes to consoles a year later comes to PC. 241 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.799 They are almost certainly going to do that again with this, and I 242 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.159 kind of I want to just play it on PC to begin with. But 243 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.559 whatever, you know, beggar scamp. I mean, they have I think 244 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:26.799 at this point built in console transitions into the development and like release and future 245 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:33.600 plans of Grand Theft All games, because like five, being on multiple generations 246 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.440 has been astronomic for them in terms of sales and also like mind share and 247 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:44.799 cultural kind of awareness around it. People are still playing online as well. 248 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.559 I imagine that online will still have a significant part of Grand Theft All six. 249 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.080 It makes far too much money not to be so I We're going to 250 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:59.559 be seeing and playing Grand Theft All for the next seven to ten years. 251 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.480 I'm okay. I mean, I like asking this question because it it feels 252 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.519 like how can we even know at this point? But really, how long 253 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.240 do you think it is between Grand Theft Auto six and Grand Theft Auto seven, 254 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.319 Because my my feeling is we could easily go fifteen years, if not 255 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:18.160 twenty, like, because they will want, you know, that new version 256 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:27.200 of Grand Theft at online just run forever. Yeah, M good five come 257 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.799 out. I've came out eleven years ago. Yes, yeah, I think 258 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:36.319 we get at least ten years, at least ten but that's like that is 259 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.400 minimum, Yes, agree on that. And then after that, I think 260 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.599 it's all bets are off because you know, the landscape could change. They're 261 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.279 desired, their you know, their plan could change. Of well, no, 262 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.079 it's going to be the same GT Online, but here's a new mainline 263 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.279 entry that it now comes with the sort of reboost sales. Who knows how 264 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.039 they decide to do it at that point ten years. Predicting things that are 265 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:59.319 ten years out is like so impossible to do. Yeah. I also like 266 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.319 between now and then, that's not say there won't be any Rockstar games, 267 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:08.319 Like there's a decent chance we get another Red Dead or like that Bully game 268 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.799 that everyone's been dying for, maybe even in New IP. Like I know 269 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.599 that, you know, they they're very set in their ways and they're very 270 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:19.279 happy making these two games forever. But like I wouldn't be surprised if they 271 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.519 came along way, like we came up with a new idea here it is 272 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:27.759 enjoy yep. And they also have like I assume some sort of a deal 273 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:34.000 like arrangement with Remedy for Max Pain, so they'll have that part of it 274 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:40.359 kind of going as well. Yeah, yep, man, I'm like looking 275 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:41.759 at the time, like, man, we talked about that way longer than 276 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:47.119 I expected us to. Yeah. Dan records l A and which apparently turned 277 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.720 thirteen years old to day today. Yeah yep, So go celebrate Dan in 278 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:55.599 that game, all right. Moving on Microsoft's plan to excuse me, Microsoft 279 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.519 plans to put this year's Call of Duty onto Game Pass. According to some 280 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.599 reports, this is from Jordan Midller at VGC. Microsoft will add this year's 281 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.680 Call of Duty game to Game Pass at released, it is claimed. That's 282 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:11.079 according to the Wall Street Journal, who has sources with knowledge of the situation. 283 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.519 This is yet to officially be announced, but if this goes through, 284 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.880 it will be included in the subscription service. This would mark the first time 285 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.680 a Call of Duty game has been included in such a service. At launch, 286 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.680 It would need for players with access to Texbox platforms. The entry costs 287 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.880 for the game would be as little as eleven dollars. Microsoft's plan plans a 288 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.559 major shakeup of its video game sales strategy by releasing the upcoming installment of Call 289 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.240 of Duty to its subscription service instead of the long time lucrative approach of selling 290 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:42.079 it a la carte. According to the article, here's my position on this. 291 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.319 I mean, if they're really gonna they have game Pass, they've done 292 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.279 it this far. They've obviously hit that wall that we've talked about where they 293 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.400 saturated the market on Xbox of people who won it, and the growth on 294 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.680 PC and mobile or whatever. Streaming is just not making up that gap right 295 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.680 now. If you put Call of Duty into game Pass and at the same 296 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.920 time, this Call of Duty is the first one not to launch on Xbox 297 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.799 one and PS four, that is the I think the best case scenario for 298 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:17.519 convincing people to get onto Xbox and game Pass on Xbox. And if that 299 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:19.119 doesn't work, then I think they are right to be like, Okay, 300 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:22.960 we really do have to change our strategy at this point. But this is 301 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.880 the moment. It's like, let's let them rubber meet the road. You've 302 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:30.319 made all these purchases to support game Pass, actually see the strategy through at 303 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.319 least one time and look at the numbers. At that point, it feels 304 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.680 like this could be a changing point for a lot of things, or it 305 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:42.039 could be sort of the final exclamation point on gamers actually aren't super into this 306 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.359 idea in the long term, and so those who are have already bought in 307 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.440 and the growth just won't be there. What do you think, Yeah, 308 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:55.480 just as remind me it's coming to PS five, right, they have to 309 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.799 put it out there, as they said in court, like where we've still 310 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:03.599 got they have a legally obligated themselves to put it on PlayStation for at least 311 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.880 fifteen years if my memory served me. Okay, yep, I mean like, 312 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.839 yeah, this is this is one of those inflection points where well we 313 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:18.519 will see the true like the true value of game Pass and how much people 314 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.839 gamers for example, and even like people outside of the dedicated gamers are willing 315 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.480 to come to game Pass for a Call of Duty game. I think that 316 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:32.599 it's it's we're likely to get a good idea of it. I think that 317 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:38.319 also it puts a lot more pressure on ensuring that those people continue to stick 318 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:41.319 around, because there's going to be a decent chunk of people who are there 319 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.480 for the single player, right, Like, those people still exist, they 320 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.119 play the single player and then they're done. But I don't think they're as 321 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.200 big as the people who play multiplayer The thing is, I think the Call 322 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.880 of Duty audience has changed in a significant way. You had people who are 323 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.359 like, we play single player and that's it. People were like, I 324 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.160 play single player and multiplayer, and then you had people who play multiplayer in 325 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.519 the original Call of Duty games. Now there's a kind of group of people, 326 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.960 and I think it's the vast significant majority of a significant number of the 327 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.319 qual of the audience who are just like I only play war Zone, like 328 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:21.039 I am a experience. It's effective as before war Zone, Yeah, exactly. 329 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:23.039 So I do wonder if it's like, hey, we updated war Zone 330 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.720 for the new Call of Duty and that is the only thing that people come 331 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.559 to it for, in which case nothing is free still, right, Like 332 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.319 so it's it's just like maybe it won't have a kind of as major an 333 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:38.559 impact as we thought, Oh yeah, but it is going to be a 334 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.519 moment. It is like a rubber mesa road moment, as you said, 335 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.680 where it's like if anything is really going to move the needle on game Pass 336 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.480 and Microsoft's kind of efforts around it, and also how it's seen to the 337 00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.960 to the wider world, is going to be this game, this Call of 338 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:57.759 Duty, And we've talked about like, Okay, yeah, forty million people 339 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.079 still on PS four. There's a lot of people still on Xbox One even, 340 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:03.640 and those people, a lot of them are staying on there because they're 341 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.000 already hapy with the games they're playing. But many of those people do play 342 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.240 Call of Duty and still buy it every year. The game just simply wouldn't 343 00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:14.079 sell as much as it does if that wasn't the case. So if that 344 00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:15.519 game is not available to them, they will have to make a choice, 345 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.200 and I think the choice will you know, part of the choice is do 346 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.759 I get it on PS five and pay seventy dollars there, or do I 347 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.319 go with Xbox One and pay the pay for Game Pass, Because either way 348 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.000 we're going to have to pay for a subscription service to play that game online, 349 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.680 and then I get all these other games with Xbox. The other choice 350 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.599 is, as you pointed out, I'll just keep playing war Zone. So 351 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:41.759 exactly, so, there is clearly not like just some like definitive one decision 352 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.640 these fans have to make. They have another option, and yet still this 353 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.839 feels like the best case scenario for Microsoft to make those moves happen. At 354 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:51.960 the same time, did you think, okay, go ahead, please them, 355 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:53.640 because I was going to choose such a little bit. This is one 356 00:23:53.680 --> 00:24:00.119 of those moments also where it is absolutely critical that Microsoft puts in a lot 357 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:04.279 of effort into making sure that they are attracting those people to their platform, 358 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.599 because Call of Duty is one of those games where it's like, I will 359 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:12.519 go to the platform my friends are on for this game, right working for 360 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:18.519 you properly start Domino. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Like I would be 361 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.920 trying to incentivize some sort of like bring your friends to this platform scheme because 362 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.880 even with cross platform multiplayer, even with discord, in people's minds, like 363 00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:30.680 it's just easier if we're on the same ship because then we know what we're 364 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.079 going to have the same games, and that is we see this on Steam 365 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.200 all the time. The most powerful marketing tool is word of mouth. This 366 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.000 would be a word of mouth opportunity, but they have to You're right, 367 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:42.920 it's going to take a lot of effort to capture that energy. Yeah, 368 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:48.559 yeah, I wonder if they could do that. I think they could, 369 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.640 Yeah, I just it's hard. Like I was, I would say Microsoft 370 00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.640 is aware of it, and I think they can do it. But the 371 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:03.000 Microsoft of the last few mon months has been very very difficult to predict, 372 00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:07.680 if you know what I mean, especially after the studio closures. I really 373 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:12.599 don't know what is going through their minds or if like the left hand is 374 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:17.200 talking to the right hand right now between the thing where it's like we shut 375 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:21.160 down Tango and who just made High Fight and then we're in, you know, 376 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.319 out there talking about how we need games like High Fight Like that is 377 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.519 that is just a weird moment where I'm like, Oh, these they're just 378 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.960 chasing their tails right now. They might not know what's going on and they're 379 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:37.079 so like in the weeds and they can't tell what's going on around them. 380 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:41.359 So like I think I would like to think that they are with it and 381 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.359 have the wherewithal to take advantage of that. I am not one hundred percent 382 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:51.119 short after the last few months. Honestly, The bare bones basic thing they 383 00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:52.440 could do is be like, hey, if you invite a friend to game 384 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.519 Pass, they get a discount on I don't know, this season pass for 385 00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.079 Call of Duty, which is like, okay, cool, you know this 386 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.000 is the thing that will allow me to play and keep new content coming for 387 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.039 months and months and months, and I'll go here because my my friends are 388 00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.799 here, and also I'll get a referral discount and can give that another one 389 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:18.680 of my friends. Yeah, yeah, so I was gonna like just change 390 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.799 it a little bit. Still talk about the subject, but like, okay, 391 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:23.519 so then game Pass, do you think that this is now also a 392 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:27.519 chance for them to I think obviously raise the price. That seems like something 393 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.079 that very likely could happen before Call of Dutey comes out. Do you think 394 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:36.319 there's also a chance here to sort of maybe reconfigure how game Pass is presented? 395 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.000 Because game Pass Ultimate is fifteen dollars a month, I think it's maybe 396 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.400 moved up to like seventeen dollars a month. I can't remember, but that's 397 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.680 the one that has like all the games, Games Day one and online multiplayer, 398 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.680 and then like down at eleven dollars it is no online multiplayer, but 399 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:55.920 Games Day one and all the games. Do you think they're like move things 400 00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:59.240 around? So it's like, okay, actually we want people. Maybe the 401 00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.839 easiest way to do a rice increase is to get those people who are on 402 00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.359 the ten or eleven dollar tier to move up to the seventeen dollar tier, 403 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:10.359 and maybe we start rethinking like stuff like day one games on there and only 404 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.079 get that through Ultimate. Do you think that's like because you maybe get away 405 00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:15.680 with that with Call of Duty, Like this is the one opportunity where they 406 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.319 could do something extreme. Do you think that's a possibility that. I think 407 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:26.480 they're more likely to introduce some sort of like unique Call of Duty Pass or 408 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.160 like Call of Dot eat version of game pass where it's like, hey, 409 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.480 play game pass, get this version of game pass and you get I don't 410 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.519 know, all the Call of Duty games or something like that. Or it's 411 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.880 like the first person shoot a Pass where it's like, hey, you pay 412 00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:44.799 this amount of money and you get all these multiplayer first person shooters or something 413 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.079 like that. I don't know. If they and that, I feel like 414 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.640 you can adjust the price on it. You can make it a little more 415 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.079 expensive but also cheaper than that it might initially than the other top tier one 416 00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.640 might look, if you know what I mean, like a middle ground pass. 417 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.200 How they would do that? Like, I think it would be pretty 418 00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.200 wild if they were like, hey, pay this for a Call of Duty 419 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.799 pass when you only really want to play one Call of Duty game, right, 420 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.480 Like you want the latest one and that's it. But I don't know. 421 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.000 I do think there is an opportunity for them to like reshuffle it. 422 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:21.079 I don't know if making it more expensive is the right move. I feel 423 00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:25.240 like people are savvy enough to like notice that now where it's like, hey, 424 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:27.920 you're just adjusting language and trying to trick me into paying more for a 425 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.240 thing that you know you didn't need to change. I think they are. 426 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.680 I think they're smart. I think would be to really look at it and 427 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.480 create some sort of new tier that is more enticing to people, as opposed 428 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.079 to trying to take the two tiers and shuffle them about so it's more expensive. 429 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.440 This isn't a money making moment, like do the smart thing here and 430 00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.400 hope that that pays dividends because it brings in a lot of people. Yep, 431 00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:56.720 all right, plenty more to talk about, but we're gonna do now 432 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.319 is We're gonna take a break. When we get back. There is a 433 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.799 Star Wars game, there's a rumered Valve game, lots happening in video gaming. 434 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:11.920 We'll get to all of that right after this. All right, we 435 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:17.000 are getting right back into it here on Game Mess Mornings. Let's start off 436 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.240 once again with creative assembly reportedly working on a Total War Star Wars game. 437 00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:25.200 This comes from Kyle Knight at Dual Shockers. A total of three new Total 438 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:29.279 wargames are in development at Creative Assembly, with one of them being an officially 439 00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.079 licensed Star Wars game. That's according to Dual Shockers. The last Total War 440 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.599 game to be released was last year's Total War Pharaoh, which was developed by 441 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.440 Creative Assembly Sofia and published by Sega for Windows. A mac Os version has 442 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:47.759 been released publisher but published by Pharaoh Interactive. They're working on Pharaoh, They're 443 00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:49.640 going to do more stuff for that. There's stuff happening with Warhammer as well, 444 00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:52.720 and they're going to do more of that. The rumor here is and 445 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.720 now they're going to go over and do something with Star Wars. I'll say 446 00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:57.960 this is this is something that I've heard rumored for a long time, but 447 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.559 it was always like it's so early that it's so like, it's so far 448 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:04.400 off that might not be worth talking about. So it's and I know that 449 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.839 rumor's been out there elsewhere. I've seen people kind of mention it in a 450 00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.440 few things here and there. I think it's a good idea it. Star 451 00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:18.839 Wars has had some success in strategy games before feels like Disney and Lucas Arts 452 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:22.680 or I guess Lucasfilm. Lucas Arts Stead. Lucasfilm is at a point where 453 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:23.680 they're like, we want to try a whole bunch of different things with Star 454 00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.160 Wars, and to me, that sounds like, okay, yeah, why 455 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.319 not go back to the strategy genre. And this is like one reliable studio 456 00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.240 that can do that. And at the same time, a publisher like Sega 457 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.880 would be happy to work with an established property like Star Wars to grow the 458 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.240 total war brand. So makes a lot of sense, right, Yeah, 459 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.480 it makes a lot of sense, especially given what they managed to do with 460 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:51.319 Warhammer. I mean that is that seems like a brand that feels completely like 461 00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.240 unapproachable in every single way. But they did some really cool, interesting things 462 00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:02.079 with Warhammer and brought in people who weren't huge fans of Warhammer or weren't like 463 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:08.680 Warhammer nuts and were you know, RTS fans or like fans of Creative Assembly, 464 00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.559 and the game they made was really really cool. I am interested in 465 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:17.599 seeing how they approached Star Wars. I don't think they're gonna I think they 466 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.720 might simplify it a bit because I think Warhammer was like they released a game 467 00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:25.319 and then they released a sequel which kind of expanded on that game, and 468 00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:29.960 they kept feeding into that same universe until it was one giant Warhammer experience. 469 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.880 That could be an interesting approach for it, but I think they probably want 470 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:38.279 something a little simpler and a lot more like traditional Total War ish a lot 471 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:47.160 of lot of opportunity there. I think that kind of appeals to the hardcore 472 00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:51.559 of Warhammer, not Warhammer, the Total War fans. The conditions that you 473 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.400 need to meet to kind of get on board with that are numerous, I 474 00:31:55.400 --> 00:32:00.599 think, and sweaty as fuck, Like you need to be into Star Wars, 475 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:07.480 you need to also be into RTS games, which PC gaming likely, 476 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.079 I mean, like the Total War games artists strategy games have been on console, 477 00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:15.319 but you likely you're on PC. Yeah. Total War is very much 478 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:21.119 a PC kind of franchise. Yeah, and then you have to be you 479 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:27.000 know, engaging on all those levels and it feels very very niche So I 480 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.480 do wonder if this could be their first attempt, or not first attempt, 481 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:37.799 but another attempt at bringing a RTS game of this ilk two consoles the only 482 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:43.000 way really maximizing Star Wars is if you put it everywhere. Yeah, and 483 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.400 then and that means and that speaks to your point of simplifying it even more, 484 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:51.359 making sure that it's very approachable. You know what I imagine here is 485 00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:54.119 when I looked at you know, Total Wars relatively, you know, pretty 486 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:57.960 old franchise. I can't remember if it's as old as like something like Attack 487 00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:00.000 of the Clones, but I definitely played it, and not too long after 488 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:04.279 that when it first launched, and I always like, hey, this the 489 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.720 way these battles look kind of look how they shot Attack of the Clones where 490 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.119 it's just like these you know, droids and and clones, you know, 491 00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:14.839 running at each other and it's kind of like slow pacede when they pan out, 492 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:15.759 and it's like, yeah, that's what Total War looks like. So 493 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.680 I think it's a good fit. But yeah, I think it'll be. 494 00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:23.920 It'll take them, I think, some effort to make sure they are reaching 495 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:28.599 a wide enough audience to make this project make sense. All that aside, 496 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:30.839 Hey, if it happens, it happens, and then we get it, 497 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.720 and then if it doesn't do great whatever, maybe we won't get another one, 498 00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.079 but at least we got one that is also that's also been kind of 499 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:42.160 the story of real time strategy games and Star Wars. You know, where 500 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.880 Empire War would come and Star Wars Rebellion, but there was another one. 501 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.880 These games kind of come and they that people are like, oh, these 502 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:51.720 this is a lot of fun, or I'm gonna spend a lot of time 503 00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:53.119 with this, and then you kind of don't get another one necessarily, or 504 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.519 at least not a long series of them. So if it's a one off 505 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:01.680 thing, I'm just like glad that Disney and these vary still developers and publishers 506 00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:05.519 are able to get these projects here and there. That's what I want from 507 00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:07.000 Star Wars. It's what I always say. My favorite time as a Star 508 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.000 Wars fan in gaming was, Hey, it's like game Cube era, and 509 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.599 we're getting like four different Star Wars games across all these different things every couple 510 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.840 of months. So kind of replicating that a little bit is good news to 511 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.880 me. And yeah, and this happens. It's probably still a couple of 512 00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:24.440 years away, but I hope they announced it soon we can kind of just 513 00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:28.400 get a good look at it and get excited about it. I just had 514 00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:32.079 a quick look. They've only ever released one title, Total War title on 515 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:37.159 consoles, and it's Spartan Total War, which is not even an arts It's 516 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.440 that like a Hack and Slash spin off. Oh really, Okay, I 517 00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:44.840 can't. I can't see a single Total War game on this list. That's 518 00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.760 still a question. I think you're there's your point still stands like, yeah, 519 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:52.440 because because cive Cive rev for example, on console, and it is 520 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.880 like they put six on now, yeah, they put some six on console, 521 00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:58.480 So I think a they can do it. This might be the Sive 522 00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:01.320 moment where they moved the console and the Star Wars Follers is the perfect thing 523 00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:06.840 to make that happen, especially if they can like make the marketing look like 524 00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:10.800 it's you know, just epic battles and doesn't have that sweaty niche game a 525 00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:15.199 top down viewer, it's like loads of UI stuff and you're clicking around quickly. 526 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.280 If it's still like zoomed in and you're seeing loads of droids being like 527 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:22.400 shot and like a couple of Jedis in the middle of the you know, 528 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.880 atsd atat just walk around, I'm sure people would be like hell, yeah, 529 00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:28.960 I'm gonna get that. Yep. Yeah, And I think if that 530 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:31.000 means the battles need to like kind of be slowed down, or there's a 531 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.880 button you need to hold to like, Okay, we're gonna basically pause the 532 00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:37.159 real time action so I can really plan my moves. So be it. 533 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.440 And then at the same time, if they don't, if they aren't planning 534 00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:44.119 the console version, again, that's kind of their problem. I'll be happy 535 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:45.840 to play this game on PC. And I'm just I hope it really does 536 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:51.159 come to fruition. Yeah, the rest in peace Hyenas, resting peace of 537 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:53.280 Hyenas God. That's right, man or studio. All right, now, 538 00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:58.000 next story here, Valve's next game, a hero shooter called Deadlock, has 539 00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:01.320 seemingly leaked. There's another one from Jordan Middler at VGC. Images showing what 540 00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:06.880 is reportedly Valve's next game are circulating on social media. According to Tyler McVicker, 541 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:10.000 who has a good track record of announcement of reporting details of Valve projects 542 00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:15.239 ahead of their announcement, the game is called Deadlock and hundreds of people are 543 00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.239 currently play testing it. Images allegedly from a private play test of the game 544 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:23.440 appear to show six v six gameplay with abilities not unlike those in Overwatch or 545 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:29.280 similar competitive hero shooters. According to McVicker, the game has been in development 546 00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:32.280 since twenty eighteen, features tower defensive mechanics, and has a fantasy setting mixed 547 00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.920 with steampunk. So he wrote magicians, weird creatures, and robots, fast 548 00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:42.679 travel using floating rails similar to BioShock. He added basically a fast paced, 549 00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:46.760 interesting ADHD gameplay, a combination of dough to two Team Fortress two, Overwatch, 550 00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:52.039 Valorant, Smite, Orcs Must Die, and more. Hero design pretty 551 00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.400 much inspired by the Doda universe. Tam, this doesn't move me too much. 552 00:36:55.440 --> 00:37:00.119 I gotta say, reading all that doesn't move too many games. It's 553 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:05.519 a mish mash, yes, but like even just okay, let's just boil 554 00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.800 down to a six by six hero shooter with you know, special attacks that 555 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:13.480 look similar to Overwatch. Yeah, man, I played Overwatch and there's Valerie. 556 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:16.159 I mean, yeah, you never count Valve out. They always have 557 00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:21.960 some sort of secret source in their games that potentially could make them absolutely pop 558 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.480 off. I can't think of a Valve game that they ever put out that 559 00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:29.679 was like an outright abject failure in the kind of like the card game, 560 00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:35.280 right, that's the oh yeah, you Remember that's how much of a failure 561 00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:40.320 that was artifact other than artifact and that was recent. But they've learned lessons 562 00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:47.639 since artifact, Right, that's no, no, it learns there. I 563 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:51.039 imagine they look at the fact that I'm just like, well, that was 564 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:53.880 we basically were paying attention and slipped on and on appill, this will never 565 00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:58.440 happen again. What we what? What was it with the artifact of twitch 566 00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.159 category? Were people streaming adult content on there? Is that? What that 567 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:07.880 was? I think so vague memories of that. Yeah, man, I've 568 00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:14.679 completely forgot about Yeah, why wouldn't you? Yeah, mostly because whenever he 569 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:16.719 comes up, Mike tells the story of how he went to Valve to see 570 00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:20.159 it before they announced it, and when he walked in the room, he 571 00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:22.960 was late and Gabe Nowel was just talking everybody that got invited. He to 572 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:25.480 like interrupt Gabe Newel and he felt very awkward. I'm like, that's what 573 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:30.079 you get, that's what you get. Gave Newell runs with his knife out. 574 00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:35.559 That counter strike thing is real. It's basically room to room. Yeah. 575 00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.840 Yeah, if he's late for a meeting, you'll see the knife come 576 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.480 out and he'll rapidly increase and he jumps and spins in the air as well. 577 00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:45.760 But yeah, I mean, like I I don't, I don't know. 578 00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:49.480 It feels like I'm not moved by it. But I'm also very very 579 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:53.840 keenly aware that you Valve is very good at what it does for the most 580 00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:59.639 part, in fact, notwithstanding, so I am still intrigued by it. 581 00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:04.840 I feel like, right now, the hero bas shooter is just a massive 582 00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:08.960 trap. Agreed. I don't know. It's gonna round sound really stupid. 583 00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:15.800 I don't know why you create a hero based shooter, a new one in 584 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.480 this day and age, and don't call it Team Fortress three. H That 585 00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:24.000 is crazy to me, Like why would you make a TF three? Like 586 00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:28.840 I know it's not hero based, but like, yeah, but the class 587 00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.320 based shooter could evolve and have Team Fortress come back. They're probably like, 588 00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.840 oh, this is free us up to do different stuff. I'm like, 589 00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:37.440 ah, yeah, calling a Team Fortress three doesn't actually hold you back. 590 00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.480 You can kind of do whatever you want with that. Yeah. Yeah, 591 00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:45.320 And like this feels like such a mishmash. I think that the stuff that 592 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:50.400 Avalve does best is when it's got a clear, unique direction to it, 593 00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:52.679 and the things that I've seen or heard about it right now, it's like 594 00:39:53.639 --> 00:40:00.960 steampunk fantasy and it's a hero It's like val is count Strike. It's just 595 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:04.760 like there's too much. Man, it's a bad pitch. I don't know 596 00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:06.840 why. I mean, like, it's not an official pitch, so I'm 597 00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.039 gonna work for that. But but it's still it's like there's nothing in there 598 00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:13.559 that immediately makes me think, oh, this is the hook, this is 599 00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.280 cool, and there's stuff that makes me, you know, oh I sleep, 600 00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:19.960 you know, like tower defense. Come on, I don't know. 601 00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.599 I mean I get I get that that's like such an easy like mechanic in 602 00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:25.880 a game to be like, oh, this gives players something to do and 603 00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:29.960 manage other than just kill people, so you don't just keep it running out 604 00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:30.920 there and get shot and die because you aren't good. This gives you a 605 00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.519 chance to get familiar with the game. Like if I'm a designer, I 606 00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.840 get why you get the appeal of something like a tower defense thing back in 607 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.400 your in your competitive shooter. But just hearing that that's the core part. 608 00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:45.679 I'm like, I'm not into that. Is ice Frock still at Valve. 609 00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:50.760 I don't remember last I heard it was looking a do. I think we 610 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:55.000 talked about him on this show about a year ago and he was at I 611 00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:58.440 thought he was at he was there, but I don't know, I have 612 00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:04.480 not Yeah, maybe is ice Frog's projects that changes things a look a bit. 613 00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.719 It's just like, Okay, ice Frog, I frug knows a thing 614 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:13.239 or two about designing satisfying games. But still, and that's why it sounds 615 00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:15.360 like this sounds like a designer's game. This sounds like a designer ass designers 616 00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.400 game right now. Yeah, And I'm like, yeah, I just need 617 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:22.199 to get to the point where I'm like, I do see it for myself 618 00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:23.679 in action. I'll go look at the screenshots and all this stuff, but 619 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:27.960 I want to see how Valve presents it. So it's like, and here's 620 00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:30.559 what makes it a Valve game. If they compare those two things together, 621 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:34.719 they'll probably have something. Yeah. I feel like the I mean like, 622 00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.719 no, no normal out there is going, oh my god, ice Frog 623 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:40.119 is making this. Only the swatiest of game is like us, so are 624 00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:44.360 like, oh shit, this is a nice frog joint to everyone else. 625 00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:47.559 If it doesn't like have that kind of clear pitch to it and isn't great 626 00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:52.800 isn't like distinct from the game that because you are trying to law people who 627 00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:58.559 have who have basically committed what is effectively their life to a game like you, 628 00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:01.639 you need to be able to because I believe that audience is finite, 629 00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:06.599 right, Like you don't have a constantly. I mean, there's new people 630 00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:08.800 coming in, but like the people who play these kind of games are like, 631 00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:13.079 I'm committing to this thing and network effect, they get stuck into the 632 00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:17.760 black hole. Yeahly out there. Like I was a when I was coming 633 00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:22.679 up, when I was playing PC game multiplayer at my most intent, I 634 00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:25.519 only played count Strike. Nothing else that, right, not even TF two, 635 00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:30.239 And it's still like that where it's like I'm a qualit duty player, 636 00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:32.719 I'm a count striper, I'm a valorant player, or even like it's if 637 00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.599 it is what it sounds like and what they're presented at. It's now competing 638 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:42.000 with like mobiles as well, so it's competing with like League of Legends and 639 00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:46.480 Dota and all these other games. So it needs a clearer and more refined 640 00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:52.719 kind of pitch to entice those people to try it, and then it needs 641 00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:55.280 to be good enough to keep people there. And then it also needs to 642 00:42:55.360 --> 00:43:01.559 have that online streamer word of mouth kind of like factor to it to There's 643 00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:05.639 so many things that you have to kind of get right these days to make 644 00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.159 a game like this pop off. If anyone could do it, it's Valve. 645 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:14.280 But still this kind of leaked pitch or whatever, it is obviously not 646 00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:16.159 official at the moment. I'm just like, Okay, I'm gonna wait for 647 00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:20.199 them to tell me what this is because I hope that they've got something clearer 648 00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:23.440 going on. Then it's every game that you played. Yep, exactly, 649 00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:28.519 all right. Just announced a few minutes ago, Red Fall is actually going 650 00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.239 to get its offline mode after all. I'm going to read this tweet from 651 00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:36.480 the play red Full account on Twitter. Thank you for all your supportive messages. 652 00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:39.719 We are working to release our final update. Game update for that brings 653 00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:44.840 revamped neighborhood and Nest systems, single player, pausing, offline mode, and 654 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:50.840 more. We'll provide additional details soon. Thank you all. Okay, great 655 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:53.880 that this is coming out just bums me out all over again. Just that 656 00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:58.239 it's like, okay, there was enough of a response that we are we're 657 00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.400 going to put this out. So now these people have to do the death 658 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.519 March to get their final update out before they get laid off or maybe moved 659 00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:08.199 around and have their lives changed. At the very least, it just sucks. 660 00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:10.920 I hate this. I hate that those studios close down. I hate 661 00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.920 the way it was handled. Everything about it bumps me out, including this, 662 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.679 even though this is, you know, objectively, a better thing I 663 00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:22.039 suppose than the way things were ending before. Yeah, I mean, like, 664 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:28.159 I will never ever ever ever forgive them for doing this to Arcane. 665 00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:35.199 Yeah, never ever ever. Like I've that Arcane is Arcane is a special 666 00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:39.039 studio, and I know there's other you know, Arcane lyon still exists, 667 00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:45.119 but like, I feel like you really screwed up when you are doing this 668 00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:50.280 to any any facet of Arcane as a team that is such a talent that 669 00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:53.519 you you let them figure something else out, man, because the next thing 670 00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:58.559 they figure out is gonna be It's gonna be like anything, unlike anything else 671 00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:01.320 anyone else is doing. And there's so much value into that. I'm glad 672 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:05.599 that the Red Full Crew is being able to, you know, put this 673 00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:07.719 one thing out again. And I and you know, honestly, I am 674 00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:12.440 committing to going back and checking out Red Fall again, I really want to. 675 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.199 I wanted that game to succeed more than anyone, like I adore Lockandle 676 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:20.119 much. Yeah, and it was it wasn't what they wanted it to be. 677 00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:25.360 And also it's not what anyone wanted from them. And between the this 678 00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:29.519 then being shut down, and also the news that you know that there was 679 00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:35.400 that story about how they were pitching a new immersive sim and it could have 680 00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:39.519 been Dishonored three, I am just like, yep. If I ever see 681 00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:45.599 anyone involved in that decision, it's on site, yep, I'm gonna yep. 682 00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:47.679 And for me, it's like when they when all this was announced, 683 00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:52.239 it should have been at the time, been like, and of course we're 684 00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.000 going to support the studio to get this last update out because they care about 685 00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:57.519 this game, even though when no one else does. We still care. 686 00:45:57.760 --> 00:45:59.559 That would have been the right way to do this. And you know, 687 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:01.639 I wanted to put out this update. I did so. I'm glad it's 688 00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:07.000 happening. I just can't help but also still be very frustrated by the way 689 00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.960 upset I am upset by I'm yeah, the whole It's been a bad year 690 00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:17.800 for for Xbox. Like in so many different ways, and like it's I 691 00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:22.760 hope that I mean, we're not far away from uh summer game. First, 692 00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:28.239 I hope that they come in there with some humility and are ready to 693 00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:31.880 explain and don't become defensive about it. Yeah, because right now, like 694 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:37.159 you are not in looking and you know in the best light, and you 695 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:44.760 have done something that like truly devastated gamers and didn't make sense to them. 696 00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:47.280 That's the thing I keep coming back to more than anything. It's like we 697 00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:52.320 don't know what is expected of us or expected of games from you now right 698 00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:57.000 because you it doesn't make sense. The things that you say and the things 699 00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:00.760 that you do are in direct conflict. We have no idea what you want. 700 00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:04.440 We have no idea what is a success to you. We have no 701 00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:07.440 idea what you deem as like a creative endeavor. We have no idea what 702 00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:12.960 you deem as a money making effort. It's all over the place. So 703 00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:17.119 I'm excited, Like I'm not saying I'm writing them off completely, and I'm 704 00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:21.239 sure there is some sort of vision there. Right now, I'm very bummed 705 00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:24.000 out by Xbox. And I say that as someone who owns three xboxes literally 706 00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:30.119 right now my Xbox. Yeah, I have paid for multiple Xboxes. I 707 00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:34.880 have purchased Xboxes for other people, so I've got like PlayStations as well. 708 00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:42.000 Obviously, I'm I'm a ambidextrous platform agnostic gamer, and I want Xbox to 709 00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:45.320 succeed as much as I want PC and Nintendo and places to succeed. And 710 00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:51.679 I really hope they're ready to talk about what's going on and present a future 711 00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:55.960 for that company that is better than the last year. And I hope that 712 00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:02.519 they're ready to have some humility around these closures, especially arcane, because people 713 00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:07.639 are big mad about that and rightly so. Yep, absolutely, I'm very 714 00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:10.960 curious to see how that all plays out over the next three weeks gone. 715 00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:15.559 We are running out of time, all right. A couple of big news 716 00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:17.800 stories we had to get to before we wrap up. There's a report that 717 00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:21.920 a Lego Horizon video games in the works. This is another one that like 718 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:23.639 I was hearing, but that's like just so crazy. I'm like, no 719 00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:28.360 someone else could say that someone else did. This comes from Alex Hopley at 720 00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.760 Game Reactor. Lego games are often known for giving a blocky, cute twist 721 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:35.440 on an existing ip, like Star Wars and Batman. So, according to 722 00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:40.800 Insider Gamer, how about Gorilla's post apocalyptic world Horizon, and like Horizon forbidding 723 00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:47.199 West? Like that Horizon? Everybody, I I the fucking man they are, 724 00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:54.360 Oh okay, I just this is Horizon is just being driven into the 725 00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:59.360 ground, like if Zan Gief is Paul driving. You don't want the mmo 726 00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.280 and the TV show and another game and play another game and then this game 727 00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:10.119 thetmost respect to everyone at PlayStation, everyone at the teams that work. I 728 00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:15.280 would be happy if we didn't see Horizon again for ten years. Yeah, 729 00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:21.400 please chill, please relax Horizon. I know a lot of people love it, 730 00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:22.880 but yeah, I'm not saying it's not good. I just it's not 731 00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:27.119 my thing, that's all. Yeah. I mean like I'm sure people will 732 00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:30.480 love it, but like, oh my god, you but the people who 733 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.079 say Horizon's good, you're asking for Horizons lego game for real? Yeah do 734 00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.719 you want Arizon? A conversation about whether Horizons is good or not anymore? 735 00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:40.840 That's over there. What is this game? That's what I'm asking That is 736 00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:47.599 exactly it. But like I am the best, the giving the benefit of 737 00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:51.239 the doubt people, part of my brain is like how they want to appeal 738 00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:54.000 to a different audience. They want to appeal to you. That's fine, 739 00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:59.559 but like also it is the other cynical part of me is just screaming they 740 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:04.159 want to milk the shit out of this. And also like I am not 741 00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:10.039 as confident as they seem to be in the kind of like potential that Horizon 742 00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:16.239 has to become universally appealing in the way that it's going into like you know, 743 00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:22.880 every single genre, Like I what is I don't wonder if this is 744 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.400 real. I'm just gonna be like, more power to you. I will 745 00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:29.400 definitely check it out, and I will not I'm not going to write it. 746 00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:30.880 I'm not gonna say I can't exist. No, no, no, 747 00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:36.159 I'm just confused by this. And also I'm like, I feel like you're 748 00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:40.119 driving that ip into the ground and like making it something that people stop caring 749 00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:45.760 about much quicker than you think that you're doing it. Then then you think 750 00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:50.960 that you you'll get out of you know, putting it everywhere and benefiting from 751 00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.719 it. This isn't one I don't believe this is one of those ips that 752 00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:59.320 is like this is always an eternal thirst for more of this. I think 753 00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:02.239 this is one where it's like, oh thew Horizon's coming out every five years 754 00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:07.440 or three years or whatever it may be, and it's okay, And if 755 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.320 this does, if this comes out, is this going to be the first 756 00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:15.000 like Lego game that isn't on the switch in some way for for that audience. 757 00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:19.239 So it's gonna be just on PlayStation in PC. And has that ever 758 00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:22.039 happened before where one of these Lego games came out and wasn't everywhere? Because 759 00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.760 that's a good point. Actually, so weird it will be on PC show. 760 00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:30.440 I know why this is happening. They had that, They had that 761 00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:34.840 Lego Tollnick, didn't they They did have that Lego tonk Yes, they did 762 00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:39.559 this, this started ace ago. Oh my god, yep, I forgot 763 00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:44.519 about that. They already have like the tendrils in the Lego business with that 764 00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:49.559 stuff. So okay, I mean that Lego Tonic was pretty cool. But 765 00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:57.039 did you call it Lego long back? You can't? Okay, all right, 766 00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:59.679 Hey, what whatever, I'm not gonna again, not gonna deny anyone 767 00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:04.199 their fun and Lego Taylor Swift? Is that what I said? I think? 768 00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:07.599 So? Yeah, well it's it's still weird. To me confused. 769 00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:12.360 I'll be very interesting to see how they present it, and I suppos part 770 00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:15.880 of me is like I sometimes like those Lego games. There's no world in 771 00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:17.199 which I'm like, well, let's sit down with the kids to play Lego 772 00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:22.039 Horizons, and feels like opportunity costs. We're missing out on something that maybe 773 00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:25.480 I would have, but I don't know. The strategy for successful Lego games 774 00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:32.800 has been taking ips that have legendary levels of of like engagement and like fandom 775 00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:37.400 and cultural awareness, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, DC, that 776 00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:43.719 kind of stuff and making legoifying them, to presenting them as an entry point 777 00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:51.199 into those franchises for younger audiences. I regret to inform PlayStation that Horizon is 778 00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:54.000 nowhere on the same level as a lot of the Rings, Star Wars, 779 00:52:54.400 --> 00:53:00.320 d C, even rock Band, which they had, Like I, I 780 00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:04.039 feel like this is incredibly misjudge. Again, I'm not writing it off. 781 00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:07.480 I would love I would love to. I hope it's good and we're going 782 00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:08.960 to prove us wrong too, right, please prove it. The show comes 783 00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:12.679 out and it's really good, and then that changes the calculus on everything, 784 00:53:12.719 --> 00:53:15.920 and then they hit wh Iron's Hot and they prove us wrong. It could 785 00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:20.159 happen. Yeah, I will, I will. I hope the TV show 786 00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:24.840 or whatever and the Fortnight clone and the clothing line and the serial does great 787 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:30.559 for you, But I would. I am very happy to not hear from 788 00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:34.760 Ala again for a while. You know. I reviewed that VR game and 789 00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:38.400 I was like, I forgot about the VR game. Yeah, I mean 790 00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:42.519 you're happy to forget it's the one game on PlayStation VR two. Yeah, 791 00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:44.920 that's right. I heard it and I was like, yeah, this is 792 00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:50.639 this is fun. That's the game later. It's not even weird. It's 793 00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:52.199 not even like a weird choice. You know, if it was like we 794 00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:54.840 made Lego Death trending, I'll be like, hell, yeah, brother, 795 00:53:54.920 --> 00:54:00.360 let's do this. It's that weird in the way that weird can be interesting, 796 00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:02.480 right, yeah exactly, So we had interesting. It feels cynical catch. 797 00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:06.239 This feels like, oh, it's obvious how they're gonna do it, 798 00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:07.960 right, I get how this works as a Lego game. Sure, yeah, 799 00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:14.559 this isn't this is an attempt to push an ip into main extreme given 800 00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:15.360 it the push. Yeah, they're trying to put it over, brother. 801 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:20.400 Yeah, good luck to them, good luck, right exactly, it seems 802 00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.599 like a challenging challenge, all right. Last couple of stories here, next 803 00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:27.320 iteration in one of two case biggest and most beloved franchise, if he announced 804 00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.119 the Summer game Fest, please they should have done they should have done a 805 00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:32.519 car racing game before they did this for real. There's like so many other 806 00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:37.480 ones that were like, Okay, yeah, that seems like lower stakes somehow, 807 00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:39.559 I don't know. I don't know. Get the motor Storm team back, 808 00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:45.440 makes them make a racing game in the Horizon universe that would have been 809 00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:46.920 way better than this lex. He says, what if it was developed by 810 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:51.159 team of Sobey that would be Please don't because that team needs to go make 811 00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:57.480 Astro That team no SOB Yeah, leave them alone? All right? Uh? 812 00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:00.519 This is from Salamano and Gamatsu, next to UK biggest beloved franchise, 813 00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:05.599 getting Saramon is back. Sar Ramon is back, everybody. It will be 814 00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:08.400 announced at the Summer Game Fest twenty twenty four showcase. No further information. 815 00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:13.119 Could be Mafia, could be BioShock, could be SIB seven. What do 816 00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:16.559 you think? What was the wording on it? Was it just new ip 817 00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:20.880 or is it like no genre? One of two case, biggest and most 818 00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:25.280 beloved franchise franchises and it's the next iteration. Excuse me. I think everyone 819 00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:30.519 forgot that they're making a BioShock Yeah, and I did until I read it 820 00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:34.239 in this story, Like, Okay, I guess it could be Shock. 821 00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:37.519 I mean it could be by a shock. It could be Borderlands. Borderlands 822 00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:40.599 makes a lot of sense that they have a movie coming out. Yeah, 823 00:55:40.639 --> 00:55:45.800 so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Borderlands trailer where you know, Jamie 824 00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:46.880 Lee Curtis is in it, Jack Black is in it, et cetera, 825 00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:51.559 et cetera. We're making the Borderlands game with the cast or Borderlands, et 826 00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:54.239 cetera, et cetera. I would prefer it if it was the BioShock game. 827 00:55:55.519 --> 00:56:00.320 I don't know if there's any life left in Mafia. The uh, 828 00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:02.440 the team that made Mafia just released a video game. Can you tell me 829 00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:08.079 why it is? I did. Yes, I will give you ten dollars 830 00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:13.840 if you and if you tell me what game the team is, like mobile 831 00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:17.000 or something like. Nope, it is released on consoles and I believe, 832 00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:22.280 oh it's I swear to looking shout if so, but in there is it? 833 00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:25.760 Tennis is it the tennis game is I owe you ten dollars? Remember 834 00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:32.559 t K Yeah, tennis whatever? Yeah to Oh my god, that's right. 835 00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:36.880 I opened that game up and I was like, younger thirteen, that's 836 00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:38.800 the Mafia people. And then I never thought about that again until this very 837 00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:43.320 moment. Summer game. First, I will buy you one mill. That 838 00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:47.079 sounds we're gonna get a burrito so hard I can't wait. Okay, yes, 839 00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:50.400 they did just release a game. That's why I think this is SIB 840 00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:54.280 seven because biggest and most beloved. I know some people I don't care about 841 00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:59.519 SIV sim Is Massive has always sold a ton, always has some of the 842 00:56:59.519 --> 00:57:04.400 most like concurrent players on Steam, and is beloved in a way that even 843 00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.679 like Mafia, and at this point even BioShock is in. I guess if 844 00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:13.280 it's not. If it's BioShock, so Civilization Horizon, let's go. Yeah. 845 00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:15.440 At this point, who would put it past them? That makes more 846 00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:20.480 sense than the lego the last couple of times here, take two CEO's claims 847 00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:23.320 they didn't close Private Division Studios ROLL seven in Intercept Games. He has said 848 00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:25.880 stuff like that before, and then it's so funny. It's proved to be 849 00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:30.920 a liar about these sorts of things is just straight up light right, Oh, 850 00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:32.480 we laid off everybody, but the studio still exist. What does that 851 00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:36.960 mean? It's just like I hate to invoke this, but this is like 852 00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:38.800 Trump levels of like what are you talking about? Yep, well what you're 853 00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:43.960 talking about. It's real. It's wild and crazy. I always say, 854 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:45.400 like when the reports come out and then someone in the company denies it, 855 00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:47.559 like, look for the space where both things are true. The space where 856 00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:52.119 both things are true. Here is they laid everyone off, but they still 857 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:54.960 have a piece of paper somewhere that says this is an entity that exists or 858 00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:58.000 whatever. And that's the most you can get away with. Here. There's 859 00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.480 maybe a building that still exists that has a logo, right, yes, 860 00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:04.920 yeah, the studio still for tax purposes as slacker chances correct, someone there 861 00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:09.039 will be CPA filing that company's you know that subsidiaries taxes later this year. 862 00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:15.519 Is it says everything about people in this position. They don't see studios as 863 00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:21.480 the people. They see studios as the building. Yeah, the little factory 864 00:58:21.519 --> 00:58:23.880 and on legal papers, yes, where the keeler elves make the video games 865 00:58:23.920 --> 00:58:28.280 exactly, Yes, all right, that does it for the news. We 866 00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:31.519 got a pull question coming up here in a second. While I'm getting that 867 00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:35.039 set up, Tam, what do you got going on? Where can people 868 00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:38.760 find you? You'll find me everywhere. Unfortunately, no spot on this week. 869 00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:46.880 Me and Lucy were traveling, which she is traveling an ungodly yes so 870 00:58:47.039 --> 00:58:52.119 much. Yeah, but she's working on something cool. I was traveling with 871 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.920 her for a little while as well. I didn't have to my mind's on 872 00:58:54.960 --> 00:59:00.760 polls until next week now, But we didn't do it spawn because of that, 873 00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:02.440 because it was just like it was too hard to cram it in and 874 00:59:02.519 --> 00:59:08.320 we didn't want to half arse it. So beyond that, you can check 875 00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:12.000 me out and check us out. We got you can catch on all the 876 00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:15.239 previous spot ons as well. Go watch those again. Yeah, exactly exactly. 877 00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:24.480 A train video. Uh. John up on Instagram Stories. He was 878 00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:29.599 like, I just finished the video that I was working a really long time. 879 00:59:29.639 --> 00:59:31.760 When I sat there for a four minute, I was like, I'm 880 00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:36.599 gonna I'm gonna risk passing him off, and I just replied train video question 881 00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:42.519 mark that was for clubs friends. Oh, that's very good. But at 882 00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:45.079 this point I'm really really into the idea the train train video never is gonna 883 00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:49.360 appear mean, but we never. We also never give up on it. 884 00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:52.119 We still bring it up all the time. You know what's gonna happen six 885 00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:55.480 months from now Lego train video. People are gonna be like, who go 886 00:59:55.559 --> 01:00:01.599 train video? Here's then, like I realized over this last couple of years, 887 01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:06.320 I me and Jane have very similar brains, and I know that, 888 01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:08.320 like this is the guy think where it's like like a guilt thing over here. 889 01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:10.480 Then every time he looks at it, it's very painful, and that 890 01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:14.960 also makes it hard to go do anything with it. So yeah, yes, 891 01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:19.239 that's just what it is. Go watch the w W video everybody. 892 01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:23.599 It's a it rules, So I mean to be fair, the priority is 893 01:00:23.639 --> 01:00:28.159 well one straight there he focused on the right video. And also John is 894 01:00:28.159 --> 01:00:30.239 doing a crazy amount of stuff. Crazy we're gonna have We're gonna have upf 895 01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:36.679 later where I will make Jen's life considerably harder by not using my normal set 896 01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:44.320 up and using a experimental this experimental Jerry rig there to just test sorry for 897 01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:47.039 it's alpha set up of course, yes yeah alpha yeah, yes, So 898 01:00:47.119 --> 01:00:51.639 we'll be doing that in a bit. I haven't tried to see if shadows 899 01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:59.360 Shadows legends legends works, and uh so we'll figure that out together later. 900 01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:00.800 We're gonna I'm gonna try that out here in a second. See if I 901 01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:05.840 can get logged in. Yeah, so that's happening.

For me, I feel 910 01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:43.400 like an Assassin's Creed game from this audience. That's a pretty good response, 911 01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:47.599 tam, I am so excited for me too. It is hitting the notes 912 01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:51.880 for me. Them talking about how you can of course, you can do 913 01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:55.559 the samurai action stuff, but there's a light meter. When you're now noo 914 01:01:55.639 --> 01:02:00.360 noo noo now a now a, when you're now way, there's light meter. 915 01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:01.079 You can take out lights and all that stuff, and it's like, 916 01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:05.119 oh boy, oh boy, that sounds good.

That's why I get most excited about. 919 01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:14.840 Yes, that's great one. It's doing stealthy you know, you know, 920 01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:21.400 because Lord knows where's as a self game, you eves, you little 921 01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:25.480 make it the first one to just make it. Although although man if they 922 01:02:25.559 --> 01:02:30.199 remake that game and it actually does have ray trace lighting and my voice systematic, 923 01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:36.760 I will they keep doing sam fish and dirty and in an age where 924 01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:40.679 Solid Snake has also been done dirty, like what's happening? Bullshit? They 925 01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:45.320 just they just laid off our game people, So we probably won't get Yes, 926 01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:47.440 we are. We're in a low point for I think we have to 927 01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:51.719 now turn our eye to indie games for a lot of the stealth stuff going 928 01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:55.199 forward. Stealth icons are being mistreated. Got immersive sim to what happened to 929 01:02:55.199 --> 01:03:00.840 immersive sims has now happened to self games. Remember that bullshit when it was 930 01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:06.599 like all that stuff was Habu Kojima and and then you besofted a mobile game 931 01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:08.840 and had Sam Fisher show up in there, and Sam Fisher's like, there 932 01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:13.039 was another guy.
