Speaker 1: Yeah, hell yeah, okay, maybe we got to have a
Speaker 1: buck bumble emote right, Probably maybe not.
Speaker 2: We surprisingly don't, surprisingly don't yoh okay.
Speaker 1: We're also next week while these folks or in Germany
Speaker 1: will be doing a guest we're gonna be playing a
Speaker 1: lot of scary games and stuff. So Themed Week's coming up. Everybody.
Speaker 1: We just like this idea, I really do. I'm very
Speaker 1: excited about it. A couple things, Jim. It was brought
Speaker 1: to my attention by Christian from Argentina that Dan, who
Speaker 1: was in a hotel in Europe, is saying as Ac
Speaker 1: isn't working very well. Do you think it's possible that
Speaker 1: he doesn't know it's celsius.
Speaker 2: That hasn't occurred to me.
Speaker 1: It did not to me either, and now I'm very
Speaker 1: excited about the possibility.
Speaker 2: Huh uh. Well, I mean I would assume that I
Speaker 2: we've heard from us oh my god, oh right, because
Speaker 2: he's probably setting in like sixty and that would be
Speaker 2: very hot. Our peers from the you know, across the
Speaker 2: pond have said that there are there are hotels with
Speaker 2: ac they're just not built very well, I guess, but
Speaker 2: that is a distinct possibility.
Speaker 1: I god, I need to know. I need I mean,
Speaker 1: I need to assume he like he would see the
Speaker 1: sea and be like, oh, yeah, whatever, I'll just set
Speaker 1: it to its lowest. But there is a possibly it's like, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what we need to set
Speaker 1: air conditioning when it's set to celsius to like be cold,
Speaker 1: but like set it to fifteen you'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: that's way too cold. I don't want this to be
Speaker 1: an ice box. That could occur to him.
Speaker 2: I would assume though, that Dan would just like see
Speaker 2: the celsius and just like jam that as low as as.
Speaker 1: As possible, right, because it's a hotel. Yeah yeah right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe the numbers throwing him off. But I would assume
Speaker 1: that that's what he did. We need to know it.
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's in London and that place is
Speaker 1: run down, right, I don't know they they they don't
Speaker 1: have anything there.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1: They don't even drink water in Europe, so I don't
Speaker 1: think that not working well that makes a lot.
Speaker 2: It's going to be great for Mike Manatti since they
Speaker 2: don't drink water.
Speaker 1: Huh. Yes, Oh he's gonna love that. The no hair
Speaker 1: condition will kill them, but he'll just be happy. He'll
Speaker 1: die happy knowing that no one's drinking water. The other
Speaker 1: thing I did post on Twitter that we got denied
Speaker 1: a review code because we missed an appointment. I'm never
Speaker 1: going to say the game doesn't matter, it was totally
Speaker 1: our fault, but I'm just like sitting there thinking, I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: I really do respect that. I'm like the fact that like, hey,
Speaker 1: can we get this code to do some work so
Speaker 1: we can cover your game or whatever, like this is
Speaker 1: the job. And they're like, you've missed an appointment so
Speaker 1: we couldn't get approval. I'm like, yeah, sounds right. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's totally a reminder of like the relationship we have
Speaker 1: here and that so many people have this idea in
Speaker 1: their head that it's, you know, you scratch my back,
Speaker 1: I'll scratch yours. If we get review codes, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get those clicks and we'll get the money. And that
Speaker 1: just isn't for one thing isn't real too, is not
Speaker 1: something that I've ever thought about. And what we actually
Speaker 1: think about is like, oh, I'm working at a corporation
Speaker 1: and I'm talking to another person who's working at a corporation,
Speaker 1: and all they're really asking for is for me to
Speaker 1: respect their time and not like waste it like we
Speaker 1: like I did when we missed the appointment. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just again really respect it. It was
Speaker 1: a power move, but one that was deserved and earned.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I respect it. I respect it as well.
Speaker 2: You know what, I get it, We get it exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's going forward. I'm going to be a little
Speaker 1: bit more mindful. I had consequences and now I will
Speaker 1: improve my behavior. That sounds nice to me. We'll try
Speaker 1: to do it.
Speaker 2: Consequences for our actions grow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Right's the That is one thing I
Speaker 1: am worried about, though, is telling people that consequences like
Speaker 1: is the thing to get me, is the way to
Speaker 1: get me to do things? And I already saw like Tinsley,
Speaker 1: who's another PR person in the industry, Stephanie Tinsley, was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is how it works. Huh. I'm like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: never mind. Please don't give me more consequences because that
Speaker 1: actually will get me to change my behavior and I
Speaker 1: don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: Don't tell our expenses departments that there should be consequences.
Speaker 1: No, let's spare them. Let's keep them out of the loop.
Speaker 1: All right, let's explain what we do here most weekdays, I,
Speaker 1: Jeff Greb, will help piece your gaming life back together.
Speaker 1: That includes breaking news and maybe even some of our
Speaker 1: own original reporting. For all these topics, I'll get the
Speaker 1: input of a bona fide expert who will make me
Speaker 1: look smart. If you were watching live on twitch, welcome.
Speaker 1: You can always listen to the show later on podcast
Speaker 1: feeds by searching for Game mess Mornings, or find the
Speaker 1: RSS on gimebomb dot com. You can also catch the
Speaker 1: show later with chapters and timestamps on YouTube. Hello YouTube.
Speaker 1: All right, we have plenty to get into. So let's
Speaker 1: start the morning mess with Dragon Age the Veilguard launches
Speaker 1: October thirty first. This is confirmed, all right, this might
Speaker 1: not be confirmed, but they are going to confirm it today.
Speaker 1: This leaked a little bit early. Salamano at Gamatsu has it.
Speaker 1: Dragon Age the Vailguard will launch for PlayStation five, Xbox Series,
Speaker 1: and PCVA Steam an Epic GameStore on October thirty first,
Speaker 1: according to a leaked video advertisement. This sounds about right Halloween.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be playing this now. It's an EA game.
Speaker 1: I think for all their big games, they do the
Speaker 1: thing where it's like, we spend one hundred dollars, you
Speaker 1: get it five days early, so people will be playing
Speaker 1: it on like the twenty sixth or something like that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, it seems like a fair
Speaker 1: enough time. I you know, it's always weird, like releasing
Speaker 1: a game that's not a horror name on Halloween, but
Speaker 1: whatever like that. The next day will not be Halloween anymore,
Speaker 1: in the game will still be on sales, so completely fair.
Speaker 1: Are you excited? Are you ready for this one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think I was initially off put by the
Speaker 2: sudden name change, and it felt like a weird move
Speaker 2: to do, but I think we've all bounced back from
Speaker 2: that and have just been okay with whatever the Veilguard
Speaker 2: is supposed to be. Every trailer I've seen since then,
Speaker 2: every news update, I've been more and more interested. And
Speaker 2: I blame Lucy James for this because of her Dragon
Speaker 2: Age perversion. That's right, and I grub Do you think
Speaker 2: I have to dip back into the original Dragon Ages
Speaker 2: to appreciate this one? Or it seems like I can.
Speaker 2: I'm able to just dive into this like Sight Unseen
Speaker 2: the most part.
Speaker 1: The way it seems to me is that if you
Speaker 1: are at all familiar with Inquisition, you're probably gonna be
Speaker 1: good with this one. There's definitely gonna be stuff that
Speaker 1: like carries through all of the games, especially lorewise, But
Speaker 1: if you like, like brush up on what happened in Inquisition,
Speaker 1: you'll be fine to just hop in here, okay. And
Speaker 1: I think you know, Inquisition was one of those games
Speaker 1: that came out in that year where it was a
Speaker 1: little bit of a lighter year, and it kind of
Speaker 1: won some Game of the Year awards, and it's a
Speaker 1: good game, but I don't think it was anyone really
Speaker 1: felt like it was a great playing game. There's still
Speaker 1: be people who love it and love the story and
Speaker 1: love the characters and want to spend more time in
Speaker 1: that world and all that's true. But you can get
Speaker 1: all of that again by maybe watching a YouTube recap
Speaker 1: and then carrying that stuff forward into the Vailguard.
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully our friends at GameSpot are working on that,
Speaker 2: so I can just watch that exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can usually count on them for something like that.
Speaker 1: I also think that this new trailer here, which people
Speaker 1: who are watching the big version are seen, looks more
Speaker 1: in line with what I think people want from Dragon Age.
Speaker 1: This is not the cinematic a tone piece that they
Speaker 1: did the style piece. I suppose even at Summer game
Speaker 1: Fest where it was there was some pop song playing
Speaker 1: and the characters looked different than they actually look in
Speaker 1: model in the game. This looks like a cut scene
Speaker 1: from the game, and I think everything looks pretty good.
Speaker 1: What do you How do you feel about the presentation
Speaker 1: of this trailer. I think I feel fine for the
Speaker 1: most part.
Speaker 2: Grub. I will say though, that because branding is so strong,
Speaker 2: I am initially off put when I see the logo
Speaker 2: all in purple, because my mind has grown to associate
Speaker 2: Purple with Saints.
Speaker 1: Row sure and the Third Street Saints are going to
Speaker 1: be in this game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the last Saints throw left such a bad taste
Speaker 2: in my mouth that like, I somewhat recoil when I
Speaker 2: see that. But it's like, oh, dragon Age, Okay, cool,
Speaker 2: people like dragon Age.
Speaker 1: Yep, Yeah, this looks promising. But October thirty first out
Speaker 1: for you know, the the systemic systems next to new
Speaker 1: gen systems. I should say I have it on my
Speaker 1: Fantasy Critics, so I hope it's good. I also hope
Speaker 1: it's good for everyone who likes Dragon Age. I will
Speaker 1: probably get into this one. I played some Dragon Age Inquisition.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever got out of the
Speaker 1: hinter lands. Is that what it was? I think maybe
Speaker 1: I got a little bit out of it, But I
Speaker 1: did not like complete that game in any way, shape
Speaker 1: or form. But I always like think Dragon Age is
Speaker 1: interesting even from the like the origins definitely had like
Speaker 1: a lot of cool intrigue in politics happening in its
Speaker 1: lore that I found fascinating. And then I look at
Speaker 1: this game, and as much as I do like turn
Speaker 1: based combat, the action combat in here looks pretty good.
Speaker 1: Someone mentioned in chat mentioned it looks a lot like
Speaker 1: D and D. It looks like a lot like a
Speaker 1: live action D and D like adaptation in some ways,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sorry, not live action, but real time
Speaker 1: combat adaptation of the D and D systems, And that
Speaker 1: seems promising too, So I don't know, look forward to it.
Speaker 2: D and D is you know, in a major, major
Speaker 2: upswing all over again, grub ye. John Barnhals into it video.
Speaker 1: What's really good?
Speaker 2: The D and D movie is surprisingly pretty good.
Speaker 1: It's one of those movies that I'm like, anytime I
Speaker 1: get in the mood to watch it, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think I'm going to watch the
Speaker 1: rest of that or watch it again and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, let's move along here. Rumor is
Speaker 1: that a new Xbox game will arrive on PlayStation next week.
Speaker 1: This is from Alex Hopley at Game Reactor. Whether you
Speaker 1: like the decision or not, it's pretty clear by now
Speaker 1: that Xbox is quite happy to let games that were
Speaker 1: previously only available on its console and Windows PCs to
Speaker 1: head to other platforms, and now a new game could
Speaker 1: be lined up to jump to PlayStation and a thread
Speaker 1: on reset Era, a user asked known insider Shanoby six
Speaker 1: zero two when the next round of fourty games would
Speaker 1: be coming, to which Shnoby responded by saying, what are
Speaker 1: you doing next week? A clear indication of when we
Speaker 1: might see more games at least announced for PS five,
Speaker 1: and it's worth noting that Shnoby went on to clarify
Speaker 1: that he doesn't know we're getting multiple ports, but there's
Speaker 1: at least one game in there. Speculation initially pointed to
Speaker 1: the game being Fortsaw Horizon five, but jez corton a
Speaker 1: Window Central believes that isn't the case, so it seems
Speaker 1: speculation remains up in the air for what the game
Speaker 1: could be. Yeah, more games are going to come to
Speaker 1: PS five. They've kind of been mostly clear about this. Obviously.
Speaker 1: They've had some sort of like back and forth when
Speaker 1: they talk publicly, but whenever we hear about the conversations
Speaker 1: happening internally at Xbox and Microsoft as a whole, it's hey,
Speaker 1: why not everything? And then there's some pushback against that.
Speaker 1: But there's no it doesn't seem to any indication that
Speaker 1: there's something where it's like, well, no, no more games
Speaker 1: should go to PS five. They're at least considering some
Speaker 1: more games coming to PS five, so not Forts the Horizon,
Speaker 1: at least according to jezz that. Honestly, I'm like, why
Speaker 1: not Forts Horison. That's a game of franchise that they
Speaker 1: have to take off of sale after a few years
Speaker 1: because of licensing cars and all that, all that stuff,
Speaker 1: So you're getting closer and closer to that. Why not
Speaker 1: sell that game right now on PlayStation could even more money.
Speaker 1: Let that team work on something even bigger next time.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, what do you think? And you
Speaker 1: think it could be something as big as Halo, Starfield,
Speaker 1: something smaller.
Speaker 2: Portso was honestly the first guess I had until I
Speaker 2: kept reading with the story, just because there are like
Speaker 2: the Grand Tarisma audience is like a pretty big audience
Speaker 2: that remains relatively quiet, and then like another car perversion
Speaker 2: game could could really appease that audience grub I could. Honestly,
Speaker 2: I'm a little surprised that Halo wasn't part of the
Speaker 2: first wave, but I could see Halo being part of
Speaker 2: that just to try and boost that that install base.
Speaker 2: I could Starfield, I don't know, because I feel like
Speaker 2: that would have they would have to do a lot
Speaker 2: of work to that game to get it to go
Speaker 2: on the PS five. My shot in the dark here
Speaker 2: is Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Speaker 1: I like that answer a lot. Flight simulator sounds like
Speaker 1: a real possibility, because yeah, why not? Who cares about
Speaker 1: that one at all? In terms of like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: I can play on my PS five it's a PC game,
Speaker 1: Let's be real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean imagine that with PSVR two and that
Speaker 2: seems like a no brainer to me. I don't know
Speaker 2: if Microsoft is intentionally possibly doing PlayStation a solid there,
Speaker 2: but flight sim I think would be great. Only PS five. God,
Speaker 2: but what else does Microsoft have?
Speaker 1: Do we see? Like an old Gears collection? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Gears collection has been rumored for a long time. That
Speaker 1: feels like, you know, they definitely have that New Gears
Speaker 1: coming at a certain point. One way to get people
Speaker 1: excited about that New Gears is a really good Gears collection,
Speaker 1: which I think makes sense. But I've never heard one
Speaker 1: way or the other about that existing for real. People
Speaker 1: are in chat we're mentioning a rare replay that is
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher because that's not even on PC, right,
Speaker 1: and I would love it on the switch or PS
Speaker 1: five whatever, but I would love it on the Switch.
Speaker 1: But half of those games, around half of those games,
Speaker 1: but the big ones, the more recent ones, all use
Speaker 1: the Xbox backward compatibility thing where it's like the Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have the game here, but it's going to launch
Speaker 1: that game using the Xbox xboxes like backward compatibility stuff,
Speaker 1: and then their emulation stuff for the N sixty four games,
Speaker 1: and so all that stuff kind of exists separate from
Speaker 1: the package of the game itself. So they would have
Speaker 1: to do even more work to get that working. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if they don't seem to have the
Speaker 1: appetite for that. Rare is busy, you know, making more
Speaker 1: content for CF thieves. Yeah, flight simulator seems reasonable to me.
Speaker 1: It could be some other smaller stuff. Exactly what that
Speaker 1: would be x They've already done the grounded and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, so I'm not sure what it would be exactly,
Speaker 1: but flight simulator sounds like a real possibility. And you know,
Speaker 1: the flight Simular twenty twenty four is coming out soon,
Speaker 1: has got twenty twenty four in the name, So yeah,
Speaker 1: that putting out what the original flight simulator on PS
Speaker 1: five right now to kind of help boost that. That
Speaker 1: seems to be in line with the strategy that they're
Speaker 1: going for here, which is number one, make more money
Speaker 1: by sowing these games to an audience on PS five
Speaker 1: that hasn't played them before, and number two, keeping some
Speaker 1: of these franchise is fresh in people's minds as we
Speaker 1: have new content similar to what PlayStation does with their
Speaker 1: PC releases, as they have sequels coming out to PS five.
Speaker 2: Right, is State of Decay exclusive t Xbox?
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't think State of Decay has come out
Speaker 1: on PlayStation yet. You know it's on PC, of course,
Speaker 1: but State of Decay two, Yes, State of de K
Speaker 1: two on PS five because State of K three also coming.
Speaker 1: That also makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we g We've seen that the PlayStation audience loves
Speaker 2: their very weird, hyper specific zombie games with that one
Speaker 2: motorcycle love zombie game. No, I forget about Sun's van Archy.
Speaker 2: The game I think is what Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: Real quick Tam is out there putting on a brave
Speaker 1: face as Jamieah points out that rumored collection of Legacy
Speaker 1: of Cane games. It's confirmed now. It's from Evercade and
Speaker 1: it's a cartridge for the Evercaid handheld, which is pretty
Speaker 1: a pretty neat thing, but they put it on a
Speaker 1: cartridge or a card whatever, and it includes blood omen
Speaker 1: Legacy of Kane and Legacy of Kane Soul Reaver and
Speaker 1: you can play those games as together. There. It doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be too much of a like remaster or anything,
Speaker 1: but hey, there's the Legacy of Kane collection for y'all.
Speaker 1: And Tam says he'll take it. He says, it's not
Speaker 1: what I expected, but I'll take it. So the number
Speaker 1: one Soul Reaver fan out there has given his blessing.
Speaker 1: That is, they're lucky over there at Crystal Dynamics. That
Speaker 1: he said that, so I'd be worried if he didn't.
Speaker 2: Is there a possibility of seeing Sunset Overdrive that maybe?
Speaker 1: I think that is something that they feel, like they
Speaker 1: said recently like they might not do that for some reason,
Speaker 1: but I you know, who knows what that. I could
Speaker 1: be misremembering that. And also maybe that doesn't mean exactly
Speaker 1: what I think it means, but that that is one
Speaker 1: that this at this point I think PlayStation does mostly own.
Speaker 1: I can't keep track of it because that's insomniac, right,
Speaker 1: And yeah, but Xbox published it, so there might still
Speaker 1: be some involvement there. That was one where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: actually getting all that stuff lined up might be difficult
Speaker 1: and not worth it. And you know that game never
Speaker 1: sold great in the first place, but it's a possibility.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hate it. I like that game, fine, I
Speaker 1: never loved it the way some people did.
Speaker 2: I know it's already out on the PS four But
Speaker 2: Psychonuts two.
Speaker 1: Psychonouts two, Yeah, no, Psychononts two did launch on PlayStation.
Speaker 1: That was one that was like, I think it was
Speaker 1: originally being published by someone else when Microsoft made the acquisition,
Speaker 1: so it came out everywhere. I think it was about
Speaker 1: yah yeah PS four, So maybe at PS five version.
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying? Yes, yes, right, so yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess that could happen. Jason Fani says could be
Speaker 1: a help Blade two part. Honestly, why not give that
Speaker 1: game a little bit more love? I mean it was
Speaker 1: help Blade one was originally a PlayStation game, so there's
Speaker 1: gonna be people who are gonna want to, you know,
Speaker 1: finish the story. Probably Cody out there. Wait no, Hellway two.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think that's Cody's bag. Guy's probably not his bag.
Speaker 1: No, all right, that'll be today's poll question everybody, So
Speaker 1: let me know if you have any other options you
Speaker 1: want us to add to the poll when we get there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that'll be the poll question that we'll have
Speaker 1: for tomorrow's show, all right. Moving on, Marvel Versus Capcom
Speaker 1: Fighting Collection. Potential release date briefly appears online before being deleted.
Speaker 1: This is from Jordan Midler at BGC. A potential release
Speaker 1: date for Marvel Versus Capcom Fighting Collection appeared online briefly
Speaker 1: before it was deleted. A release date of November twenty
Speaker 1: second was listed on the game's page on UK retailer
Speaker 1: Shop two before it was quickly remove. Before it was
Speaker 1: taken down, screenshots of the release date were posted on
Speaker 1: reset Era. VGC can confirm the legitimate legitimacy of the
Speaker 1: original listing. Whether the listing was changed due to inaccuracy
Speaker 1: or because Capcom has yet to announce a release date
Speaker 1: is unknown. The collection, which was announced earlier this year,
Speaker 1: will be released on Nintendo Switch, PS four and PC,
Speaker 1: but not Microsoft's consoles. Marvel Versus Capcom Fighting Collection will
Speaker 1: include X Men, Children of the Atom, Marvel Superheroes, X
Speaker 1: Men Versus Street Fighter Marvel Superheroes Versus Street Fighter, Marvel
Speaker 1: Versus Capcom, Clash of Superheroes, Marvel Versus Capcom two, New
Speaker 1: Age of Heroes, and The Punisher. Yeah, November twenty second
Speaker 1: sounds reasonable. We haven't heard a date for this yet,
Speaker 1: probably because it is coming much later in the year,
Speaker 1: and November twenty second, I know people know this is
Speaker 1: much later in the year, so that all lines up,
Speaker 1: I suppose, But it's just as likely that that's someone
Speaker 1: just throwing a date in there. That doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 1: But as with you know, we were saying, hey, next
Speaker 1: week for the Xbox game getting oounced PlayStation, there's a
Speaker 1: possibility that that and this maybe get announced that games
Speaker 1: come right.
Speaker 2: Mm, yeah, that's a strong possibility. Grub Gosh, I h
Speaker 2: I guess in my head I had only associated Marvel
Speaker 2: the Marvel versus Capcom games being part of this collection,
Speaker 2: and then a child like glee lit up inside of
Speaker 2: me when I saw Marvel Superheroes listed here.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: I think that is pro probably responsible for a lot
Speaker 2: of people in our demographic Grub knowing or even learning
Speaker 2: what the heck Shuma Gorath is.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's a god. Yeah, that that's a good
Speaker 1: thing right there. It is an exciting collection, clearly one
Speaker 1: of the you know, Seawn's favorite moments like popping off
Speaker 1: for that, and I agree, But yeah, Capcom's got something here.
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to get it right, make sure that
Speaker 1: when it does come out people that is as good
Speaker 1: as it can be and people get a chance to
Speaker 1: get their hands on it. So yeah, I think we
Speaker 1: get to Opening Night Live at games Colm and this
Speaker 1: could easily be a really state for this would be
Speaker 1: another thing that'd be nice to have at a show
Speaker 1: like that. So uh, and Capcom, as much as it
Speaker 1: knows that it has the Fighting Game without Fighting Game
Speaker 1: audience's attention with this, uh, it would be it makes
Speaker 1: sense to then, Okay, let's go to that broader audience
Speaker 1: and try to take some of that excitement and enthusiasm
Speaker 1: and let it infect the wider audience that was paying
Speaker 1: attention to Opening Night Live because of Jeff Keeley. And
Speaker 1: I think that, yeah, it was a good strategy, so
Speaker 1: we'll see.
Speaker 2: I also think, you know, uh, we we've talked about
Speaker 2: Marvel's slump as of late, but Deadpool Wolverine, what is
Speaker 2: that movie actually called? Uh, Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said dead versus Wolverine, which isn't true. I
Speaker 1: don't know, that's what I assumed it was too for
Speaker 1: a second. It's something Yeah, just Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 2: All right, has kind of, you know, not done a
Speaker 2: dramatic one eighty, but uh, let's say a one seventy
Speaker 2: on the public reception of Marvel and along with all
Speaker 2: the announcements from this past comic Con that I could
Speaker 2: see this being a good dip into that renewed excitement
Speaker 2: as well as like capitalizing off of the nostalgia for
Speaker 2: these games and hopefully hopefully grub just introducing these to
Speaker 2: a whole new generation of like the FGC. I'd be
Speaker 2: super duper interested to see like what these young cats
Speaker 2: out there would do with an easier version of this
Speaker 2: game to play.
Speaker 1: And I hope it really is laying the oh, go ahead,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna say? Also X Men ninety seven,
Speaker 1: right right, That's what I was. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: hope this is laying the foundation for making new games
Speaker 1: based on this stuff. That is awesome. Now, if what
Speaker 1: came out of this was here is an X Men
Speaker 1: ninety seven game that we set a certain budget for
Speaker 1: and we spent two years making and it's but it
Speaker 1: has you know, the Capcom I'm shine to it right now,
Speaker 1: Like we're very versed in our technology, so we know
Speaker 1: how to make these games and we can kind of
Speaker 1: make it in a way that is reasonable. But here
Speaker 1: is an X Men ninety seven fighting game, and then
Speaker 1: you know, years later, now we're building on that, then
Speaker 1: we're making X Men versus Street Fighter again, even and
Speaker 1: then I just want them to actually get back to
Speaker 1: the path of making a lot of these games, not
Speaker 1: just here's your Marvel versus Capcom again, which I want
Speaker 1: them to do eventually, but I kind of want them
Speaker 1: to build up to that again and play around some
Speaker 1: of these smaller spaces a little bit first. You know,
Speaker 1: if it does come to here's the more likely scenario
Speaker 1: is here's just a new Marvel versus Capcom And is
Speaker 1: that even likely? But it's more likely to what I'm describing,
Speaker 1: And I would you find if that had a ton
Speaker 1: of references to stuff like X Men ninety seven in it.
Speaker 1: But I just think Capcom is in a space the
Speaker 1: way they're talking about their fighting games right now, where
Speaker 1: they're like, we want to bring back all of our
Speaker 1: classic fighting games. I hope that is. Then the next
Speaker 1: step is okay, so we've brought all these back now
Speaker 1: on these off years, kind of similar to what they
Speaker 1: do with Resident Evil. Here's something new and that's going
Speaker 1: to stoke the flames of the fighting game community for
Speaker 1: many years to come.
Speaker 2: John Drake, make it happen, please, yep, forget about quackshot.
Speaker 2: Just make this happen. Please.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can quick quick quack shot in Marvel versus
Speaker 1: Capcom eventually, grub. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just popped myself in my head, but if I
Speaker 2: hear Uri Lowenthal say Maximum Spider, I will kind of
Speaker 2: lose my ship.
Speaker 1: That would be really cool. Yep. I don't know. There's
Speaker 1: just so much fun stuff they could do with that
Speaker 1: at this point, so I hope, and it seems like
Speaker 1: Capcom could very easily get back to that space.
Speaker 2: All right, I will buy a hit Not a hit stick,
Speaker 2: that's Madden. That's a truck stick. The truck stick.
Speaker 1: You'll find thing, the flat stick. Yes, a leverless fighting stick. Controller. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: those things are They rule and should get one.
Speaker 2: Brazer holler.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a quick break when we
Speaker 1: get back plenty more headlines, including the release date for
Speaker 1: The Plucky Squire. Right after this all right, we are back,
Speaker 1: and as promised, more headlines. The Plucky Squire release date
Speaker 1: is set for September. This is from Nintendo Everything. The
Speaker 1: Plucky Squire finally has a release date. It'll come to
Speaker 1: Switch and other platforms on September seventeenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Publisher to Volver Digital, excuse me, and developer All Possible
Speaker 1: Futures announced today. The Plucky Squire was first revealed just
Speaker 1: over two years ago. While the action adventure title was
Speaker 1: originally slated for twenty twenty three, that didn't end up happening.
Speaker 1: The game later ended up being delayed to this year,
Speaker 1: and now it actually is coming out. This game is
Speaker 1: for people that don't remember, and I'll play the revealed
Speaker 1: trailer here for people watching. It's about. It's kind of
Speaker 1: that storybook looking game where there is a character literally
Speaker 1: in a storybook and he kind of runs around the pages.
Speaker 1: You can troll them in the pages and it looks great,
Speaker 1: but then he can jump out of the pages and
Speaker 1: into the room that the book is sitting in to
Speaker 1: jump to other like adventures and it looks incredible, and
Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to this for a while and
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, it's finally here. It's really going to happen.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm super duper interested in this. I'm curious to
Speaker 2: see the different art styles that they've prepared. We've seen
Speaker 2: a couple of them when the plucky Squire dip out
Speaker 2: of the book and into the real world. Genuinely curious. Also,
Speaker 2: I love the style of game where it's like a
Speaker 2: Legend of Zelda esque God, it looks so pretty, it
Speaker 2: looks so cute.
Speaker 1: Really cute and pretty. It's you know, actually moving around
Speaker 1: the world. Those like a lot of games recently like
Speaker 1: thank goodness you're here, look like running around a oh
Speaker 1: this is neat. I actually I saw this, but I
Speaker 1: just reah with this is so good. It looks a
Speaker 1: lot like running on a cartoon network show. And now
Speaker 1: in this trailer, as he's revealing the date, he's just
Speaker 1: picking up items and putting the pieces together. So it's
Speaker 1: coming out September seventeenth, twenty twenty four. There you go, everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I continue to be really into this whole idea. I'm
Speaker 1: glad that they are able to see it through and
Speaker 1: then it's not getting another delay, although I think Sean
Speaker 1: might have this on his Fantasy Critics, so I would
Speaker 1: have hated a delay. But here we are, Yeah, September seventeenth.
Speaker 1: I'll be looking forward to playing it then. Might have
Speaker 1: more to say about that game here pretty soon. Let
Speaker 1: y'all know, all right, Times Splitters for PS two or yeah,
Speaker 1: Times Splitters PS two trilogy arrives on PlayStation Plus next week.
Speaker 1: This is from Zack Swisen at Kotaku. The complete Time
Speaker 1: Splitters trilogy on PS two will soon be available to
Speaker 1: play on PS four and PS five later this month.
Speaker 1: On top of that awesome news, a solid list of
Speaker 1: older games like The Witcher three and Ride five will
Speaker 1: also be available at to PS plus Extra and Premium
Speaker 1: members next week. On August fourteenth, PlayStation officially announced the
Speaker 1: next round of PS plus Extra in premium games that
Speaker 1: will be added to the services game catalog. These new
Speaker 1: games will be available starting August twentieth. I'm really excited
Speaker 1: to see Times Splitters trilogy arrive on PS four and
Speaker 1: PSI as new PS two classics of the Times Splitters
Speaker 1: games are wonderfully fun sci fi shooters and and that
Speaker 1: feature awesome Golden I esque first person shooter combat, as
Speaker 1: well as some good jokes and gags. I have the
Speaker 1: full list of games here. We'll go over at Starting
Speaker 1: on August twentieth, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium both will
Speaker 1: get the Witcher three, Wild Hunt Wildheart's Standard Edition. That's
Speaker 1: when we both enjoyed Cult of the Lamb Ride five,
Speaker 1: Watchdogs two, a bunch of sword Art online games. I
Speaker 1: guess yeah, Alasatian Lacrosse, the Courses, Last Recollection, those aren't real.
Speaker 1: That's those are definitely not real. Words a fatal bullet,
Speaker 1: hollow realization, Okay, whatever, and then Naruto Toburo Shinobi Striker.
Speaker 1: I just I really hate that his son's name is
Speaker 1: bo Rudeo.
Speaker 2: I hate saying it right, he hates his son too good.
Speaker 1: PlayStation Premium only will get VA Cation Simulator times, Twitters
Speaker 1: Times Twitters two times, Twitter's Future Perfect and then Art
Speaker 1: Sort Art Online Lost Song. So saving the best for last,
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, that's great. I can't remember what PlayStation
Speaker 1: Network thing I have, PlayStation Plus thing I have. I
Speaker 1: definitely had to re up recently because we played a
Speaker 1: game online or I was doing something online on my
Speaker 1: PS five and I think I might have actually just
Speaker 1: gotten premium. I just bit the bullet the page that
Speaker 1: I'm not even got like a year of premium. So
Speaker 1: I have this, I should take advantage of it. I
Speaker 1: almost never get these games on PlayStation Premium, and I should.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. As you know, every time we
Speaker 2: reached that point in each month where we go through
Speaker 2: the new titles available on PlayStation Premium and the whatever
Speaker 2: tiers are called, I keep being enticed of like, oh
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. Yeah, it's not bad. And I think
Speaker 2: the curation they're doing is pretty interesting as well. Like
Speaker 2: I've been kind of curious to dip into the Witcher.
Speaker 2: We were talking about Wildhearts like a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: I feel like grub that's right. And then I had
Speaker 2: no idea there were this many sword art online games
Speaker 2: did not.
Speaker 1: Either, got it. I don't even know what a sword
Speaker 1: art online game looks like.
Speaker 2: And uh, I think for shoot, it's an Issa kai.
Speaker 1: That okay, that sounds familiar. For like the there's an anime,
Speaker 1: right sort and it is just called anime? Is also
Speaker 1: called sort art online? Is it is some one of
Speaker 1: your head explodes if you stop playing or something.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, okay, maybe it is yes, Oh gosh,
Speaker 2: all right, and oh do you know why? I know that?
Speaker 1: It's because, uh, a certain Paul ber Lucky was like,
Speaker 1: I want to make that real fucking weep, get a
Speaker 1: life loser? All right? Sorry?
Speaker 2: Oh lord, that fucking sucks.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm not gonna play any sword art online games.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm a grown man. Next up, Kingdom Come
Speaker 1: Deliverance To is delayed release date set for February twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. This is from Eddie mcoo and Georgian at GameSpot.
Speaker 1: King To Cum Deliverance two's release date may have been
Speaker 1: leaked by a retailer, and it looks like it's slated
Speaker 1: for next year rather than twenty twenty four. According to
Speaker 1: best Buy, Kingdom Come Deliverance Too is set to release
Speaker 1: on February eleventh, twenty twenty five. While best Buy has
Speaker 1: since amended the listing and changed it to not announced,
Speaker 1: Walmart still has it listed for the same date as well.
Speaker 1: Update Embracer and developer war Horse have confirmed that Kingcome
Speaker 1: Deliverance To is now set for release on February eleventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Well, fans will have to wait a
Speaker 1: while longer for the game. Warhorse will show off twenty
Speaker 1: plus minutes of footage at Gamescom next week and make
Speaker 1: various other announcements. Yeah, so we'll see more of this
Speaker 1: pretty soon. This will be another one that's going to
Speaker 1: be in opening that live that's been confirmed previously. Kingdom
Speaker 1: Com Deliverance was that sort of Skyrim inspired open world
Speaker 1: RPG but set in a historical setting, like an accurate
Speaker 1: world historical setting in medieval times. I guess I don't
Speaker 1: know Kingdom Come Times. I suppose it was interesting. I
Speaker 1: didn't really like work for me all that well, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean a sequel can't. We'll see. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they have a lot to prove and they have a
Speaker 1: chance to do it here, and delaying it a little
Speaker 1: bit probably makes some sense. It did seem like it
Speaker 1: was supposed to come out this year, I think they
Speaker 1: said that previously, but February. That does get it out
Speaker 1: of the way of a lot of games now. Although
Speaker 1: did you get the sense that in the next month
Speaker 1: or two jan the early parts of twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: are gonna get filled up real fast?
Speaker 2: Oh? One hundred percent grub, especially after Games Calm. I
Speaker 2: feel like we were talking on the BombCast that there's
Speaker 2: gonna be a Nintendo Direct coming up soon allegedly allegedly,
Speaker 2: folks don't Yeah, we don't know for sure, they put
Speaker 2: the keyboards away. But also like we have to see
Speaker 2: what the landscape of twenty twenty five will look like.
Speaker 2: People who trying to get out of the way of
Speaker 2: GTA six or just trying to delay games now and
Speaker 2: just move to that window to claim that spot before
Speaker 2: the calendar completely fills up. And it's already looking pretty full.
Speaker 1: Grub Yep, it's already looking pretty full. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how it goes though what you said there where
Speaker 1: It's just like we will get through these next few
Speaker 1: weeks like Opening Nightlife will probably be the start of it,
Speaker 1: where several of these games will get announced for February
Speaker 1: and March and April and we'll look at be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: suddenly there are five or six games just in March
Speaker 1: that are gonna be taking up all our time. So hey,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not really complaining. I like games coming out
Speaker 1: year round. It seems like it totally works. But but yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you know they're still like heavy hitters. Capcom
Speaker 1: usually oh oh yeah, they confirmed Monster Hunters, yeahs Run Wilds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. If they said a date, usually those
Speaker 1: dude from Capcom do come out earlier in the year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a lot of big stuff that could
Speaker 1: take up a lot of the oxygen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that. I think that's my most anticipated
Speaker 2: game for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I'm like so ready for this to be
Speaker 1: the Monster Hunter that really gets me and for us
Speaker 1: to play a lot of it.
Speaker 2: Oh, February Wait, February thirtieth.
Speaker 1: Yep, so there we go. Already a massive thing in February,
Speaker 1: So people moving their games into February are Yeah, I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: February March. Try to get out there before Monster Hunter Wilds.
Speaker 1: Oh he was kidding. Oh, February thirtieth. It's not a
Speaker 1: real date, is it.
Speaker 2: No, silly goose.
Speaker 1: Listen, everybody, I just read what's on the screen. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's there. I'm just gonna read it. Listen. D doesn't
Speaker 1: know about Celsius. Can we go back to that? God,
Speaker 1: what has Mike Manatti taught you?
Speaker 2: Throwing your friends and heard of the bus.
Speaker 1: It worked so well, all right. Amazon orders animated series
Speaker 1: featuring Splunky New World and PlayStation games. This is from
Speaker 1: zas ys In at Kotaku as well shout outs to
Speaker 1: Zech Amazon Prime Video has reportedly ordered a new animated
Speaker 1: anthology series that will feature short stories set within different
Speaker 1: pre existing video game worlds. The series is being created
Speaker 1: by Tim Miller, the same person behind Netflix's popular Love
Speaker 1: Death and Robots series and the first Deadpool movie. Miller's
Speaker 1: Love Death and Robots premiered in twenty nineteen. The series
Speaker 1: featured various short stories animated by different studios in different
Speaker 1: art styles. Episodes often revolve around a theme or topic,
Speaker 1: and stories can vary greatly, sometimes featuring robots, elements of horror,
Speaker 1: sci fi, or even comedy, and now Amazon wants to
Speaker 1: take the same formula but apply it to video games.
Speaker 1: On August fourteenth, the Deadline reported that Amazon has ordered
Speaker 1: a series called Secret Level from Miller and Blur Studio.
Speaker 2: Like Love, Death.
Speaker 1: And Robots, the new series will be in anthology and
Speaker 1: will with each episode set in a different video game
Speaker 1: world or franchise. Deadline reports that some possible games that
Speaker 1: could appear in Secret Level include beloved indie platform or Spilunky,
Speaker 1: Amazon's own Momo RPG, New World Oaks, and various unspecified
Speaker 1: PlayStation titles. Each episode of Secret Level will likely consist
Speaker 1: of short stories set in these different games. Jan, is
Speaker 1: this sound like a good idea? And what games do
Speaker 1: you want to see?
Speaker 2: Oh? One hundred percent, this seems like a good idea,
Speaker 2: especially there's going to be like smaller indie titles that
Speaker 2: may not have enough interest or excitement to start like
Speaker 2: a full fledged animated series, Like I understand that the
Speaker 2: cup Head Show is very good. Castlevania anime has always
Speaker 2: been very popular, especially the legal legend show Arcane on Netflix,
Speaker 2: but I wouldn't mind seeing some shorts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing then that prevents this from like, oh, if
Speaker 1: one of these does really well, they could make a
Speaker 1: whole show based on it or something, so it doesn't
Speaker 1: like preclude totally.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. The first thing to come to
Speaker 2: mind was Shovel Knight, just because shovel Knights should just
Speaker 2: continue to be everywhere Knight.
Speaker 1: The weirdest thing happen with the Shovel Knight was it
Speaker 1: was the like Rby's Happy Meal equivalent toy uh and
Speaker 1: I would go to Arby's and get shovel night toys
Speaker 1: for my kids. It was even like they were like
Speaker 1: little plastic things that kind of fell apart. They were
Speaker 1: flimsy little things, but whatever it was, it was neat. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I the PlayStation games things. Makes me hope that it's
Speaker 1: one of them. As Astrobot, I think that would be
Speaker 1: a good thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah for this. We were, Yeah, we were chatting
Speaker 2: about that about like why hasn't Sony capitalized yet off
Speaker 2: of uh Astrobot's cuteness and make made some type of
Speaker 2: animated shorts this gosh yeah, or or grub they just
Speaker 2: have a bunch of little animated shorts or just uh
Speaker 2: live action shorts of Tom Holland continuing to reprise his
Speaker 2: role as Nathan Drake.
Speaker 1: Yep, happy fun too. I instead of making whole new movies,
Speaker 1: but like could just go be in this. Honestly, if
Speaker 1: they did it like some like Twilight Zone stuff where
Speaker 1: like these where Nathan Drake showed up in some of
Speaker 1: this other stuff, that could be fun too. I hope
Speaker 1: they get that wild with it because I I suppose
Speaker 1: like that what they're going for, because just having like
Speaker 1: a bottle episode based in these worlds, Like, you can
Speaker 1: only do so much storytelling there. You kind of have
Speaker 1: to have something of some other hook that keeps people
Speaker 1: be like, why am I interested in this next episode?
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily like it's going to be New worlds
Speaker 1: from you know, the Amazon studios. But if there's the
Speaker 1: promise that maybe someone from another game could be infiltrating
Speaker 1: that world or causing havoc, I'll keep watching because I
Speaker 1: want to see how that goes. Either way. It's like,
Speaker 1: I think this is a this is fertile ground for
Speaker 1: creators to mess around with. I think it's a good
Speaker 1: use of video game licenses where instead of trying to
Speaker 1: cram them into being something that they're not, or trying
Speaker 1: to like apply a TV show formula or a movie
Speaker 1: formula to every single one of these in an equivalent way,
Speaker 1: just kind of treat them as more malleable and work
Speaker 1: with what the material that you have there. I think
Speaker 1: that's exciting.
Speaker 2: Grub. This is how we get back to PlayStation All Stars.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you.
Speaker 2: Think what do we have to Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, honestly, yeah. If it ends with like and everyone
Speaker 1: got their invite, Like every post credit scene was just
Speaker 1: an invite to PlayStation Battle Royale All Stars, where the
Speaker 1: hell it's called. I would, yeah, i'd be down.
Speaker 2: But I you know, I remember fondly the PS two era,
Speaker 2: mascot era of PlayStation where I always thought like, oh,
Speaker 2: Ratchet could be a good movie. They eventually turned it
Speaker 2: into a movie, but Jack and Daxter never got that
Speaker 2: love or Sly Cooper.
Speaker 1: Interesting. Yeah, there's a lot of those franchises that are
Speaker 1: somewhat dormant that would be maybe a good fit for this.
Speaker 1: And then but do you think they do that if
Speaker 1: there's no intention to make a new game in any
Speaker 1: of those franchises.
Speaker 2: I could see them just doing that, even if there
Speaker 2: is no intention to make a new game.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I think you're right, because a certain point,
Speaker 1: do something with that ip, you know, right, just to
Speaker 1: keep it somewhat at the top of people's minds. Also,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, Amazon's money, so pull away for
Speaker 1: these things, and that stuff has value, So just take
Speaker 1: that money and let them play around in this world.
Speaker 2: Snack Dad with the most brilliant shout ape. Escape would
Speaker 2: be a good TV show that would rule.
Speaker 1: I would really I like those kids shows where it's
Speaker 1: like a bunch of crazy characters doing stuff. I thought
Speaker 1: the Rabbids show is actually pretty good on Nickelodeon. I
Speaker 1: think epe Escape could be way better than that.
Speaker 2: Even the apes from ape Escape are primed to be
Speaker 2: Minion and Rabbid popular already.
Speaker 1: Yes, that would be great, all right? Next story, here
Speaker 1: a SEUs rog Ally to get Steam Deck OS support,
Speaker 1: and yes, there we go this. Sir Darren Bonteuse at
Speaker 1: GameSpot Valves confirmed that Steam os, it's Linux based operating
Speaker 1: system for the Steam Deck handheld gaming PC, will be
Speaker 1: coming to the Asis rog ally. The company also plans
Speaker 1: to roll out Steam OS to other rival Windows handhelds,
Speaker 1: although it has noted that third party support isn't ready
Speaker 1: to run out of the box yet. The confirmation comes
Speaker 1: after the recent release notes for a recent Steam Os
Speaker 1: beta update mentioned adding support for extra rog ally keys
Speaker 1: in the future. The note about rog ally keys is
Speaker 1: related to third party device support for Steam Os. Valve
Speaker 1: engineer Laurence Yang said to The Verge the team is
Speaker 1: continuing to work on adding support for additional handhelds on
Speaker 1: Steam Os. This was always the plan. Yeah, this was
Speaker 1: always what they were really going for. Steam Deck being
Speaker 1: a success is awesome. For them. They're happy about that,
Speaker 1: but the reality is they've been trying to make you know,
Speaker 1: Steam osh and let their Linux based you know steam
Speaker 1: gaming thing happened since they had Steam machines, and that
Speaker 1: it never really found a way to take off. Now
Speaker 1: it has footing and the idea that rival companies quote
Speaker 1: unquote what will be using steam os in any way
Speaker 1: going forward, even if it's like a dual boot option
Speaker 1: on like the rog ally it's like here's Windows or
Speaker 1: you can go in steam os and you know, acers
Speaker 1: can put their layer on top of the if they want.
Speaker 1: Don't fuck it up, but whatever they probably will. That
Speaker 1: is always what they were going for. And now they're here,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm not surprised by this at all. I
Speaker 1: was listening to the PC World's podcast and shout out
Speaker 1: to Will Smith who's on there, and those guys are grant.
Speaker 1: It's like the one podcast in the PC gaming space
Speaker 1: where it actually has adults talking about stuff. It's great
Speaker 1: listen to that show. Everybody well it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know somebody YouTubers, so they have to freak out
Speaker 1: to keep their audience entertained all the time. And then
Speaker 1: these people coming down like a reasonable and sober. I
Speaker 1: appreciate that podcast a lot. But they were talking about
Speaker 1: bzite I think it's bzite os, which is a thin
Speaker 1: parted version of Steam Os for the aces rog ally,
Speaker 1: and apparently that's already pretty good and gets you most
Speaker 1: of the way there towards making the races rog ally
Speaker 1: something much more akin to a consolized experience than what
Speaker 1: you get with the Windows system right now. So the
Speaker 1: fact that Valves working on their own version of that
Speaker 1: that may maybe irons out those last few kinks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's exciting. For as much as Jane, I enjoy
Speaker 1: having the option to very easily get games from Epic,
Speaker 1: I have the Roger sitting over there constantly and I
Speaker 1: almost never use it because the Steam Deck oled is
Speaker 1: just better. It's more convenient, it works the way I
Speaker 1: need it to work, and it also helps that the
Speaker 1: battery life is way better. Like That's that's honestly, that's
Speaker 1: the big the biggest part. But I also just enjoy
Speaker 1: steam Os way more. So This is exciting to me.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Steam continuing to throw its weight around
Speaker 2: and its dominance around. Like the PC gaming market now,
Speaker 2: the mobile PC gaming market as well. This is just
Speaker 2: the net positive for Steam as a whole. I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: I was thinking, what would incentivize me to perhaps get
Speaker 2: an Asis Roger versus a Steam Deck at this point,
Speaker 2: and I don't quite see the reasoning, but there's definitely
Speaker 2: folks that don't want to deal with Linux. They want
Speaker 2: some type of Windows device, so that would entice them
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 1: If you are super into XBO game pass, I think
Speaker 1: that the ally the al i x now at this
Speaker 1: point that came out recently, I still want to check
Speaker 1: that out. That has you know, a faster RAM, better
Speaker 1: batter life, of more SSD storage and stuff. It fixes
Speaker 1: some of the issues with that thing. It's still a
Speaker 1: worthy device in a lot of ways, as far as
Speaker 1: many issues as I have with Windows. But you have to,
Speaker 1: I think you have to have a specific use case
Speaker 1: to choose that over the Steam Deck.
Speaker 2: Go lead. Yeah, one hundred percent. Again, if you were
Speaker 2: embedded into the Windows ecosystem, if you are a big
Speaker 2: game pass power user, god power user what they hate
Speaker 2: that word? Yeah, Uh, then the Asis Rogers probably up
Speaker 2: your alley and uh, you know, wanting to get that
Speaker 2: Steam Deck experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Shannas points out, Yeah, there's the multiplayer games with
Speaker 1: certain anti cheat programs they do not like Linux and
Speaker 1: uh and steam Os, which is you know, Destiny is
Speaker 1: the major one that I can think of, but there's
Speaker 1: definitely some others that work that way. There's even some
Speaker 1: of that I think supported steam Os at first and
Speaker 1: have stopped. So yeah, if you have specific use cases,
Speaker 1: definitely go for that and use Windows. But I think
Speaker 1: the long term outlook for this is steam Os and
Speaker 1: a version of Windows that is built for these systems
Speaker 1: that comes out in a year or so and is
Speaker 1: branded as Xbox, and that better be real good because
Speaker 1: if it's if it comes out and it's like half baked,
Speaker 1: people will just go. I mean, this is a real
Speaker 1: opportunity for Linux to grow, for steam Os to grow,
Speaker 1: and they seem like they're capitalizing on it. And Microsoft
Speaker 1: could lose some footing here if they're not careful, but
Speaker 1: they have so much money they'll be able to come
Speaker 1: back whatever.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I hate myself grub that I thought, oh,
Speaker 2: you know what would be great on Asis, Roger, I
Speaker 2: could finally play Final Fantasy fourteen in an easy way Yep,
Speaker 2: even though I haven't installed on my Steam deck now
Speaker 2: just through I just got to jump through a couple
Speaker 2: of loops to.
Speaker 1: Do it, yep. And and that all that stuff has
Speaker 1: gotten quite better. Clint Eastman says, like all the stories
Speaker 1: that aren't natively supported on Steam Os right away, like Epic, Ubisoft, EA,
Speaker 1: h Io those, it's gotten so easy to install those now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've it was the last chance or the
Speaker 1: last time I tried to install Epic and get some
Speaker 1: games on there. It all worked really well. All right,
Speaker 1: Done with the headlines. Got the poll question from yesterday,
Speaker 1: when do you think the Nintendo Switch to will release?
Speaker 1: I let's see here, eighteen percent think it will come
Speaker 1: in April, eighteen percent think it will come in May,
Speaker 1: then twenty percent think it'll come in summer, and forty
Speaker 1: four percent believe it will come in fall. So it's
Speaker 1: like most people think it'll be either the like the
Speaker 1: spring after March or fall, and then twenty percent, you know,
Speaker 1: one in five think may maybe in the summer. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they probably just don't want to wait till fall, but
Speaker 1: they can't admit it to themselves that they're gonna have to.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about it? Jam, What do you
Speaker 1: think I.
Speaker 2: I think I want to say a date as early
Speaker 2: as May, but I could see the tail end of
Speaker 2: summer being the actual release versus Fall. I don't know
Speaker 2: why Fall feels too late.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just right now, it feels so far away.
Speaker 1: It's a whole like that. That would mean right now
Speaker 1: the Nintendo switch to is not even launching within the
Speaker 1: next twelve months, and that is tough to accept for
Speaker 1: me as well. But what I was saying on the
Speaker 1: show yesterday is that for as much as Nintendo wants
Speaker 1: to get this thing out, if they get to April
Speaker 1: and May and they're for like, Marto's close, but it's
Speaker 1: not quite ready, maybe we could have it ready in
Speaker 1: a month and they're like, well yeah, but that then
Speaker 1: we're in summer, Like we're not gonna I just don't
Speaker 1: think they release it in summer. So if they get
Speaker 1: to a point where there's any question, they will just
Speaker 1: move it from April or May to later in the year.
Speaker 1: And the reason we're saying April May and not like
Speaker 1: before that is the reports are Nintendo's telling developers do
Speaker 1: not expect it before the end of this fiscal year,
Speaker 1: which is March thirty, first so I got a new
Speaker 1: pole question we'll get to in a second before we
Speaker 1: do that, Jan what do we have going on the website?
Speaker 1: Where could people find you on the internet and all
Speaker 1: that good stuff.
