But boys, what a what 58 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.800 a what a chaotic day? Because every time I would 59 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.400 tune in, something would be happening, and I don't remember 60 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.280 hearing about it at all. People, multiple people were in 61 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.719 Grimace costumes. Everyone was dressed up as quan Chi at 62 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:36.479 one point. 63 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:41.159 Yeah, at times I was in the Grimace costume as 64 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.159 quan Chi for well over an hour, I want to say, 65 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.879 at good point where the one little face window I 66 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.240 had to see out of was smeared with quan Chi. Makeup, 67 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.759 so it was very difficult to see the three hundred 68 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.199 plus marbles I had to put into that tiny bowl 69 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.240 with a teaspoon, and that was just a one go. 70 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.759 I had a bonus hundred later on. So yeah, over 71 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.680 four hundred marbles and a Grimace. Dude, that was a 72 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:01.919 white an experience. 73 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.759 Somebody, somebody contact Guinness. That's gotta be a record for 74 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:12.199 without a doubt. Yes, why Grimace. Uh, Kayla had a. 75 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.400 Grimace suit and I just kind of told everyone that, like, hey, 76 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.000 if you got any gimmick outfits or anything blike club suits, anything, 77 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.639 bring it and we'll see if we can figure something out. 78 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.519 And uh, then the idea of the Nobs whole evolution 79 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.959 really came together once Kayla came to town and then 80 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.439 she was like, oh, I have a Grimace suit, and 81 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.360 then just things kept getting piled on top of that 82 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:33.600 and you almost killed a man. Yeah, I would suggest 83 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.480 anyone look at my blue sky of the clip of Grimace, 84 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.360 which was Mike at the time. 85 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.399 And I went in and, uh, it is. 86 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.800 The closest I've been to being uh choked out maybe 87 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.120 ever probably I was physically attacked by Mike Manatti and 88 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:48.399 a Grimace suit, and it was. 89 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.600 Terrifying when I got the email that the stream got 90 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.319 taken down and I didn't put together that it was 91 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.279 probably because of the crystal coconuts bit. I thought it 92 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:03.399 was my heads of a grown man and then grim 93 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.000 has cost him choking out another man. 94 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.399 Yeah, I've never seen him move faster.

I think that's what 435 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.799 it is because you guys, there's so much time in 436 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:02.920 between each run that the information retention is just leaking 437 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:03.200 out of. 438 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.680 Note No, me and Jeff Grub you want to talk 439 00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.759 memory we are just memory trap. 440 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.039 Yeah, you just you just messaged us like to Gannadworf 441 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.039 talk in Tears of the Kingdom. 442 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.319 No, he did it earlier today, that last night. 443 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:20.599 Yeah, earlier today. 444 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.279 Dan asks where are we meeting for the podcast?

Yeah, I agree. 481 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:50.519 No, I didn't know no Jets and Dance skip cut scenes. 482 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.000 I never skipped cut scenes. I never ever ever skipped 483 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.200 cut scenes. I just don't none of the information. 484 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:58.920 You only only skip victory scenes in Lego Party ever, 485 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:01.000 because there's a I. 486 00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.519 Don't know if the one over extra life was accidental, 487 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:10.119 but holy smokes, this game fucking bangs. I know that 488 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.160 you all there's plenty of footage now of you two 489 00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:17.279 going through it, but I when I unlocked Cider. Sider 490 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.599 is the female character with like, uh the extendo arms 491 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:23.000 about that character? 492 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:24.559 Yeah? 493 00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:28.559 Is that your pole? She is absolutely my favorite. I 494 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:31.480 don't think I've ever felt cooler in a video game 495 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:34.640 than I have playing a Sider. And you know, there's 496 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:38.640 builds with various rogue lights or action adventure games, you know, 497 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:41.799 like in a Devil May Cry, these three specifically where 498 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.240 there's moments where you don't hit the ground because you 499 00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.559 just have a infinite combo going uh and you were 500 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:51.000 still punishing a dead enemy. That happens all the time 501 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.359 with Cider. And I think the thing that needs to 502 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.119 be shout out about Absolom is that you can stun 503 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.480 a boss, right, you can. The bosses are pretty much 504 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:03.319 susceptible as all of the other enemy characters, Like if 505 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.759 you juggle them, they'll be juggled, and if you stun them. 506 00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.480 They'll have like a little bit of a stunt that 507 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.839 you can completely get through a phase and rinse them 508 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.640 in a couple seconds. I had a build with Cider 509 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.839 eventually where as soon as I hit them with my 510 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:22.400 extendo arm, which was her special ability, they the enemy 511 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.200 would be shocked. Also, the clashes in that game, which 512 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.400 is like the kind of their version of a pairy, 513 00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:32.599 absolutely amazing. I had a power up where as soon 514 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.000 as I would clash with them, the enemy would just explode. 515 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:39.480 And that's the why. There's the dash one, and there's 516 00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:41.279 the why one. You're talking about the LA one right. 517 00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:45.880 Which is like your heavy attack and once you like 518 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:49.119 hit them as they're hitting you or supposed to hit you, like, 519 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:54.000 it'll do a pery. And I cannot sing enough phrases 520 00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:56.359 about this game just because it just feels so good. 521 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.920 It looks very good. I think they've nailed the progression 522 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.400 mechanic because I thought, originally you are just going through 523 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:06.960 the bottom part of the map, and I thought, uh, 524 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:09.920 the top part of the map was just meant for like, oh, 525 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.839 that's just maybe we'll have DLC. 526 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.400 No. 527 00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:15.599 Instead of your ship going all the way to the right, 528 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:17.799 your ship is going to go up top this time, 529 00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:21.279 and the different types of boss battles and the different 530 00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:24.720 little secrets. I like how they have used the mission 531 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.839 mechanic of like, hey, you got to fill up this 532 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:31.920 this coal thing for this furnace and you'll have to 533 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.920 check up on it your next run. You're not gonna 534 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:35.880 be able to do this run. So I like how 535 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:39.240 it incentivizes you to keep going and keep playing the game. 536 00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:43.720 I think if you two had the ability to instantly 537 00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:47.799 replay and instantly do a run, I think the I 538 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:49.079 think y'all would have beat it by now. 539 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.039 Yeah, the type of game we're good at, like being yeah, 540 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.200 oh totally totally, yeah, Yeah it does.

That's fine, But thank you, Mike, Like, 573 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.680 here's here's my pitch. You and I launch a competing 574 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:23.440 series called this is actually the Run. Oh, very funny. 575 00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:26.519 You will be we'll be Cider and the Frog. 576 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:32.480 It will be the quest are you are you? 577 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.119 There is a lot of like, you know, post game 578 00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:36.640 stuff that I didn't really dive into. 579 00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.359 Are you interested in any of that, jan. 580 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:41.839 I, I kind of am, but I think I had enough. 581 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:46.640 I had a satisfying feeling of completing a run before 582 00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:49.599 these two were able to. And again, it's because I'm 583 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.319 able to just repeatedly do a run over and over again. 584 00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:55.240 And uh, I don't have to deal with the mess 585 00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:58.960 of losing my character because this is the only character. 586 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:02.279 But in terms of the Scout, please, in terms of 587 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:05.119 the postgame content, I am curious because I do want 588 00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:08.400 to see how vast the skill tree and the power 589 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:09.319 ups wind up going. 590 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.680 I love the bubbles too, Mike. You get into the bubbles. 591 00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:15.680 I had some bubbles. The bubbs are helping. There's some 592 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:16.440 spicy bubbles. 593 00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:20.400 I'll tell you what and how the bubbs will synergize 594 00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.119 of some of the other elements. Very fantastic. I like 595 00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:25.119 the tornado stuff as well. The fire stuff's great. 596 00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:28.599 The proximity sparks like thorns. 597 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.880 I mightn't really get into the thorns, you can get. 598 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:34.440 Them pretty strong. And then also where it's like every 599 00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.160 time you do X, like three thorns come out. So yeah, 600 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:40.440 and there's a just sucking them up. 601 00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:45.000 It's great, okay, all right, but the boss battles in 602 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.440 this game really really well done. Sometimes I feel like 603 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:51.440 in a beat them up game, the bosses are kind 604 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.839 of like too big and like they don't quite fit 605 00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:57.200 into the world, and it just feels a little bit boring. Here, 606 00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:02.279 they actually feel like good set pieces. And I love 607 00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:05.359 it when a boss character will be using the same 608 00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:07.799 types of abilities that you can use, and that shit 609 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:09.799 just hits on a different levels. 610 00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.519 And an animation for everything is just like the design 611 00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:14.279 of all the bosses, just all the attexts. 612 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.519 Beautiful game. 613 00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.279 I do appreciate, like you were talking about exploring the 614 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:20.480 map jam but like even just like the tiny little secrets, 615 00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:23.720 so like the character comes along to say, hey, there's 616 00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:25.519 a little bit of missed over here, let's go over here. 617 00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:27.640 Just all those things where it's like, oh, there's more 618 00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.599 to this world than I realized, and kind of finding 619 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.559 those things makes each run feel cool and different. I did. 620 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:36.279 I did get a lot of information from watching you guys, 621 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:39.839 so I knew to hit the mast at one point 622 00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:42.000 on the ship to get the dude and all this 623 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:46.119 other stuff. So I did learn from YouTube. So there 624 00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:49.640 we go. The run will continue on. Folks, do not worry. 625 00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:54.759 Speaking about very pretty looking games like Manada. You played 626 00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:56.839 this last night on Mega man Dan, looks like you've 627 00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.240 been playing this as well. Luminous Arise. 628 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:01.799 Yeah, yeah, you know. 629 00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:05.480 I have actually not been much of a Luminous guy before. 630 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:08.880 Like when that first look came out on the PSP 631 00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:10.960 and it seemed like it was the game everybody really loved. 632 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:12.759 I was kind of like, I don't know if I 633 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:16.359 get this or completely understand what's happening here. I mean, 634 00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:19.279 I like other drop down puzzle games. I like Tetris, 635 00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.960 I like like paneled Upon, Slash, Pokemon puzzling and and 636 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.880 all that stuff. But you know, I'd like to Tetris 637 00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.759 effect a ton just for the aesthetics and the vibe. 638 00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.160 So you know, knowing that I was going to be 639 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:34.880 getting that basically again with this made me excited for 640 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.799 it anyways, And I was just learning more about what 641 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.680 I should actually be doing in Luminous, and I was 642 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.400 having more and more fun the more I played it. 643 00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:45.480 It doesn't click with me in the way that a 644 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:47.200 Tetris or a paneled Upon doesn't. 645 00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.480 Like I still not I feel like I have like two. 646 00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.759 Layers understood, like strategy wise, when I'm missing like that 647 00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:55.480 third layer, like that fourth layer. 648 00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:57.079 Of like things I should be thinking about when I'm 649 00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.920 making these square. 650 00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:00.400 I mean, you don't overthink like, you know, I hear 651 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:02.079 a lot of people talking about they're like writing the 652 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:05.400 line thing like the timeline, Like, don't overthink that, because 653 00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.480 that's never how I've thought about it. Where it's like, oh, 654 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:09.920 I gotta be dropping blocks right behind the line every time. 655 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.599 It's more of just a speed thing and just generally 656 00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:14.480 building stuff to the left of the line. You don't 657 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:16.200 need to hug right up against it. You just need 658 00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:18.599 to like set a bunch of things up so the 659 00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:20.559 next time the line goes across, you're getting you know, 660 00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:23.880 sixteen x or whatever combo. But yeah, don't overthink the 661 00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:24.839 line part of it. 662 00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.480 Yeah, I think I think that kind of helped it 663 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:29.279 also up a little bit to like wait because I 664 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:31.160 got first, I was maybe going too fast, So waiting 665 00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.599 for the line a little bit was giving me all 666 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.200 more opportunities to make. 667 00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:36.319 The bigger squares. 668 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.079 But you know, the awesome stuff here is just like 669 00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.240 touches effect, like the way it is playing with the music, 670 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:43.400 like each time you move, there's like a little notes, 671 00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:47.000 and there's different songs. Each song has a completely different aesthetic, 672 00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:49.480 Like the blocks themselves will change. There's always like two 673 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.240 kinds of blocks, right, So first it's just like you know, 674 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.720 a red one and a blue one. Then you know, 675 00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.839 eventually it's like egg and feathers because it's themed and 676 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.440 there's you know, kind of amazing music that's going everywhere 677 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.759 from kind of like soulful edm or kind of you know, 678 00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.200 just sort of blissful soothing to wrap and it's but 679 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:14.880 it all somehow is connected and fits in a really 680 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.279 interesting fun way. There's also this burst mode and touch 681 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.000 the fact that's something similar where basically you can it's 682 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:23.200 it's almost kind of your recovery tool because you use 683 00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:25.960 it and you can sort of make like a very 684 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.319 big clear also a little confusing, and they don't still 685 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:31.119 entirely understand it. But I kind of got to the 686 00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:32.759 point where like, all right, if I sort of just 687 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.200 drop stuff and they're kind of touching, I'll make some 688 00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:37.359 very big squares here and that's good. 689 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.960 Yeah, there's a thresholds where it turns into a full square, 690 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:42.480 like you can like you want to have like let's 691 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.240 say it's blue and orange and blue is that nucleus 692 00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:47.039 or whatever? You just want to hug as many of 693 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.319 those blue blocks next to the nucleus of. 694 00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.039 Blue, right. I don't know what makes the orange dough 695 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:52.920 like go to Heaven. 696 00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.279 I think there's a certain threshold where it's a hit 697 00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:57.599 a certain thing. It's like, okay, we're gonna knock all 698 00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:00.200 the other ones, Like if there's oranges hugging it, yeah, boom, 699 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.640 we're gonna bump into the top. Then you can keep 700 00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:04.759 kind of making that square that nucleus and bigger, and 701 00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:07.240 then when it ends, you get all the points for 702 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:11.279 the blue and then all those orang rained down, and 703 00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:13.000 then you can throw a bunch of shit on there again, 704 00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:14.559 like if you have one of those cross things that 705 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:15.160 connects all. 706 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.079 Oh yeah, they're like, oh that it's great. Who are 707 00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:20.400 the little dudes that pop out after you. 708 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.359 I don't from the original. 709 00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.920 They have like names above them, they have online tags. 710 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.680 I think they are other people. Yeah they've been all 711 00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:34.000 the time that Yeah, they've been in wait for us 712 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.240 to release them. I think it's just some cute way 713 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.920 for them to make the game like online. 714 00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:40.400 Okay, and. 715 00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:44.359 People are people are good online, I should wait for 716 00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.119 the burst until I have one of those cross things, 717 00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:47.559 because I'm like, I'm just like now getting to the 718 00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:49.240 point where when I'm playing where I am like looking 719 00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:51.640 ahead to another piece a little bit, and it's like, oh, okay, 720 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.680 so that there's a there's a thought right there. If 721 00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:55.720 I did that and did the opposite color, I could 722 00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:57.359 wait and get one of those cross things. When they 723 00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:59.119 all come back, I can just destroy them all. That 724 00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.920 would be awesome. Okay, there's a new strategy I learned. 725 00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:07.359 I'm playing in VR and what they met a quest 726 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.559 three connected to my computer over what you do? 727 00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:13.000 The theme VR link thing? Yeap works perfect? 728 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.880 It works perfect, and it's it's uh yeah, you know 729 00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:19.920 remember Tetris effect and how that felt when you played 730 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.160 it in VR? If you ever did this does the 731 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:27.559 same thing. I think that it's perfectly perfectly acceptable to 732 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:29.720 play this game on a screen on a handheld whatever, 733 00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.319 like it's going to have similar effects. But they do 734 00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:35.359 build these games with VR in mind. That's something I 735 00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:38.519 think Missugucci probably was always thinking of VR, even long 736 00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.440 before he was making VR games. And I like Mark 737 00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:43.720 McDonald's over there and he's a big VR Evangelist as well, 738 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:46.279 and they Yeah, they did a good job of sort 739 00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:50.160 of just enveloping you in that sound and those feelings. 740 00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:52.880 And it's the effects that they do of having the 741 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.079 playfield back up and kind of moving more into your 742 00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:57.960 face as things are getting more intense there. It's even 743 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.160 more subtle in VR and even more effect Uh So, yeah, 744 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.119 I it's working there that I will try to continue 745 00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:06.279 to play through that story mode, which I think I 746 00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:08.880 got about halfway through last night until I finished that 747 00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:09.519 up in VR. 748 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:10.480 It's it's tough. 749 00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:12.199 I mean, I'm pretty good at Luminous, Like I'm on 750 00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.119 the end of just normal on the journey right now, 751 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:16.920 and it's like I'm failing a couple of times here. 752 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:18.559 It's pretty good, right, Yeah. 753 00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:20.800 These games, like they had that thing where if you fail, 754 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:22.599 you can push continue and then you're like you're on 755 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.159 this segment you were with no blocks again. So yeah, 756 00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:29.880 pre starting Super Mario Brothers, Yeah you kind of eventually 757 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:33.400 brute for you like lose points worse, but yeah you 758 00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:34.119 can force it. 759 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:35.800 I'll give a ship about my school. 760 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.480 I just want to I got to try to S 761 00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:39.159 rank everything. 762 00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:41.840 Yeah, I just want to so far away from S 763 00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:42.639 ranking this game. 764 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:46.320 Yeah, it's I still don't know if I'm good, Like, 765 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:50.119 I definitely have seen improvement where it just kind of clicked. 766 00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:53.840 I don't know what that's about. Uh, And then I 767 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.960 had been progressing pretty quickly. But yeah, I just want 768 00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:58.599 to see all the levels. I want to hear all 769 00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:01.000 the music, I want to do all the things. And 770 00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:02.960 then I think after that, I'm gonna be done. 771 00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:04.719 You know, Yeah that's fine. 772 00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:08.400 Yeah, yeah there. I got to a point when they 773 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:11.519 eventually pourted Luminous to the p S two where I 774 00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:15.039 locked the fucking and cracked it was cracked out. I 775 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.440 have yet to achieve that in Luminous Arise because I 776 00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:22.239 think it is too visually over stimulating, where I am 777 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:24.639 just getting lost in the sauce. And that's not discredit 778 00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:27.920 to the game. I really do enjoy the visuals, but like, wow, 779 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.920 does this game get really really busy? Jane, I think 780 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:32.199 you're goaded with the sauce. 781 00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:36.599 Phase rug audio. 782 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:41.000 It's a must cop my friend's happening. 783 00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:44.320 Oh you didn't see the best video game commercial ever? 784 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:50.880 Or that's Alexa plus commercial wherever it is. It's somebody 785 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.440 from the Phase clan. You know, the Phase clan. 786 00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.239 I know, famously Batman phrase clan. 787 00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.480 Yeah. Yeah.

That's so like, I love that so much 794 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:28.599 because that is it's a commercial presumably, yes, that is 795 00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:35.159 like literally made for nobody's made for the chief of 796 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.760 marketing at him.

And Alexa's like, 800 00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.199 I don't know. It's like the bad commercial. It's really weird. 801 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:53.559 And he's like at the end, he's like, I guess 802 00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:54.880 I'll just stick with Pete Davidson. 803 00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.119 What are you doing?

I don't want to see how it 900 00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:58.800 winds up. So it's going to be high on my 901 00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:00.760 list as well, so I definitely need to finish it. 902 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:03.719 But yeah, there are certain ones, like it's been nice 903 00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:06.239 when it's like certain ones that I don't feel the 904 00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.280 pressure to play, where it's like I feel like outer worlds. 905 00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:10.960 You know, I was gonna I like the first one 906 00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:12.840 a lot. I played through it, and I probably will 907 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.119 play through to at some point, but that was one 908 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:17.239 where I kind of like, all right, what I'm hearing 909 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:18.880 about this game. I don't think there's any chance it's 910 00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.039 gonna crack my top ten. So I put that one 911 00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:23.920 on the shelf, Gonna focus on Yota. You know, well, 912 00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.519 Metroid won't be in contention for this year, so Yota 913 00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:28.840 is my big one and I'll beat that soon. 914 00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:33.039 And do you think some of us should try to 915 00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:34.239 finish Death Stranding too? 916 00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:38.440 Yes, okay, yes, I mean that's a good game right away, 917 00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:41.000 but I think it's a lot of stuff that happens 918 00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:42.760 near the end is the stuff that I'm like, oh 919 00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:45.920 my god, this is just like some real peak Kajima 920 00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:46.880 stuff going on here. 921 00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:47.719 Yeah. 922 00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:51.320 The ending is fantastic, so a lot, a lot better 923 00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:52.559 than than the ending of the first one. I mean, 924 00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:53.840 that game is just better in every way than the 925 00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:56.880 first one. But I love the last four or five 926 00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:58.960 hours that game more than any other part of it. 927 00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.480 With the total clock time on that one. 928 00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:06.360 Fuck, I mean big on fuck. I played thirty hours 929 00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:09.599 in Japan and that was just the first like TV 930 00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:13.000 or what was the first third first? No, I would 931 00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:14.000 guess fifty hours. 932 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:18.199 Oh that then. 933 00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:21.599 Were you like gallivanting at all, doing like side stuff 934 00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:22.000 or I. 935 00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:22.920 Wasn't running stuff? 936 00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:26.079 I definitely I wasn't somewhere in between.

I was just playing it 939 00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:30.719 at a natural pace. 940 00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:36.199 One hundred and ten from you person in chat?

We just like 1012 00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:42.639 to play or sixty four games on a on a 1013 00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:45.840 big TV with no input leg and that's what this 1014 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:46.239 is doing. 1015 00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:47.199 It's just making it. 1016 00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:49.880 Really sleek like the actual like hardware itself, like from 1017 00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:52.719 the controller to the console itself, it's really just like 1018 00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:54.960 it's it's shorter than the N sixty four, but it's 1019 00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:57.039 got all the same kind of form factor going on. 1020 00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:00.199 And uh, the input lack thing grub and shown you 1021 00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:02.800 were noticing a little bit via the Bluetooth like. 1022 00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:05.000 The new controllers, the wireless controllers. 1023 00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:08.000 But we also had to be fair eight million things 1024 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:09.320 going on in that room at the time for action. 1025 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:11.800 Yeah, it was you know that it happens over distance too, 1026 00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:13.400 so that we were sitting pretty far away from it 1027 00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:14.440 that will happen. 1028 00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:16.559 Yeah, but luckily, I mean, it's also has the ports 1029 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:18.599 upfront where you can just plug in an original sixty 1030 00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:21.400 four controller and it's just like immediately fixes any kind 1031 00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:23.599 of issue with input lag. But I am finding, like 1032 00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:26.079 I played some last night and everything and I am 1033 00:47:26.119 --> 00:47:28.679 not noticing and put lag with it. But you know, 1034 00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:31.400 everyone kind of notices that at different levels. But it's 1035 00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:33.239 so cool that like you can do hot keys on 1036 00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:36.519 the controller to switch between like the PVM CVM CRT 1037 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:39.960 scan lines and then just like the clean look the 1038 00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:41.639 new controllers you can just do it with the like 1039 00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:44.280 dedicated analog button and the depad, but they also have 1040 00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:46.480 hot keys you can do with the like original sixty 1041 00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:49.199 four controllers. Okay, I think it's like Z and start 1042 00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:51.559 or something with the deep pad or something along those lines. 1043 00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:53.840 So in game you can you don't have to like 1044 00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:55.599 back out to a menu or anything to switch between 1045 00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:57.440 all these different modes. And then if you want to 1046 00:47:57.480 --> 00:47:59.480 go deep on this stuff, like you know, Sean was 1047 00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:01.920 really going in there and tweaking, like Okay, I'm going 1048 00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:06.079 to turn on dee blur, but turn off anti aliasing 1049 00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:08.559 and then you can also you can just force the 1050 00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:11.480 original hardware to make it exactly as intended. And then 1051 00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:12.960 he was doing things to like make it look like 1052 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.760 a PlayStation game. Basically it's not harsh changes to the 1053 00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:19.800 way it looks, but like it. 1054 00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.199 It's noticeable though it is a little freak. 1055 00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.920 Oh he was, you know, of course, yeah, And you 1056 00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:27.559 can buy game settings where it's like, okay, so for 1057 00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:29.599 with tur Rok, I like to have these things set 1058 00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:31.960 to this level. But with Mario sixty four, I just 1059 00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:34.239 forced the original hardware. You can turn on and off 1060 00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:36.800 the expansion pack things like that. You can with a 1061 00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:40.159 hot key switch between rumble pack and Controller pack, things 1062 00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:43.800 like that. Lots of cool little like UI things where 1063 00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:45.679 it's like if you put a cart in there, it 1064 00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:47.559 will add it to your library, which is kind of 1065 00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:49.119 your main screen. So like right now, I look at 1066 00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:51.239 the top and I see Golden Eye, Star Fox, Rest 1067 00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:53.760 of Many two thousand and Mario sixty four, and you 1068 00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:55.679 can just kind of go between them see your playtime 1069 00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:58.079 and all that stuff on it. And so as you 1070 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.159 add games, it kind of fills out that library. You 1071 00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:03.079 do need to put the card in each time it's 1072 00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:06.360 supposed to work with things like you know, there's there's those. 1073 00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:08.880 Cards out there that like ever drive. Yeah well yeah, yeah, 1074 00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:09.800 so like the ever Drive. 1075 00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:12.440 I have the X seven and I put that in 1076 00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:15.480 and it popped up on the library is like unknown cartridge. 1077 00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:17.960 I was not able to launch it. It sounds to 1078 00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:20.079 me like I was talking with Analog about this, and 1079 00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:21.480 it sounds like a thing that would need to be 1080 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:24.320 like compatibility. It's on ever drive basically where they would 1081 00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:26.400 have to like do some sort of update to make 1082 00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:29.440 that work. I did hear about summer cards, so I 1083 00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:31.719 should have a summer cart arriving like today or something, 1084 00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:33.400 because I want to test that on there, because I 1085 00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:35.519 would love to have just an ease of use cart 1086 00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:37.280 that I can like a you know, multi cart thing 1087 00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:39.119 and not have to swap them out every time. 1088 00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:41.119 But of course it is it is supposed to work 1089 00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:41.400 with those. 1090 00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:44.280 Some of those might need updates or something, but right 1091 00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:46.199 now I'm just using actual original cards. 1092 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:47.079 It's fantastic. 1093 00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:51.880 Yeah, they eventually released jail breaks for these things where 1094 00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:53.760 you can just load off an SD card, but that 1095 00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:56.559 that usually comes later and sometimes there's a pretty big delay. 1096 00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:58.599 So don't get this thing with that in mind, right, away. 1097 00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:01.320 Yeah, even stuff like they pocket didn't it take. It 1098 00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:04.800 took months, if not longer, for like the actual. 1099 00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:08.599 Like the open FPGA stuff. Yeah, right, I remember, because 1100 00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:10.760 before that they had they had the Game Boy Player 1101 00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:13.400 stuff where it's like you could the game Boy Studio 1102 00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:15.039 stuff maybe maybe days where it's like you can make 1103 00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:16.679 your own games. People are like, well, what if I 1104 00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:18.679 just took this game and put it inside one of 1105 00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:20.800 those shelves and so you could boot up stuff from there, 1106 00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:22.960 and then that was a work around until the open 1107 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:25.360 FPGA stuff happened. Okay, it'll take some time. 1108 00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:27.119 Yeah, so you're ching that people. 1109 00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:30.239 Are you using an N sixty four controller. 1110 00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:33.000 I've been using the new the eight do ones. 1111 00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:36.760 Yeah, like they are. I think they're great runners somewhere. Yeah, 1112 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:40.639 those started coming out like a year ago or those. Yeah, 1113 00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:42.960 they feel great. Yeah, just that kind of standard form factor. 1114 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:45.079 But the buttons and the sticks and everything feel very 1115 00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:46.960 much like right, yeah, like if you close your eyes, 1116 00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:49.039 it basically feels exactly like the buttons outside of the 1117 00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:50.199 weird pitchfork. 1118 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:51.920 And like I tried it with like because like when 1119 00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:53.760 I when I was using mine, I did first I 1120 00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:56.199 did no Mercy, which is a Dpad game that I 1121 00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:58.920 did Chameleon twice, which is an analog game, and like 1122 00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:02.280 both of them just felt very good, very natural. But yeah, 1123 00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:04.159 like this thing is just so easy to use. Like 1124 00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:06.039 I have a retro tink and I love that, and 1125 00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.960 it is a way for me to play Nintien sixty 1126 00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:10.639 four on one or displays. There's like there's a lot 1127 00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:11.920 of options in there, and then a lot of them 1128 00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:14.000 I don't understand, so I, you know, every time, I'm 1129 00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:16.199 kind of going on Google and just finding out what 1130 00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:18.519 I'm supposed to do with this, And it was much 1131 00:51:18.559 --> 00:51:21.119 easier to just kind of plug and play basically, and 1132 00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:23.119 there are those options to dive into if you want 1133 00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:25.679 to be a sicko about it, you can't do some 1134 00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:27.920 some some neat things. But it really is just like 1135 00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:30.239 this is just a modern Nintendo sixty four and it 1136 00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:32.159 just kind of works like that and it's super easy 1137 00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:34.800 to use, and you know, do you put lack thing 1138 00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:37.239 for me? Like I wasn't noticing it in any real 1139 00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:38.840 way when I was playing just in my living room 1140 00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:40.480 with a Bluetooth controller. 1141 00:51:40.760 --> 00:51:42.360 Yeah, if you're close enough, you're not gonna in like 1142 00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:44.960 like Sean sa and chat. It's like it's dropped inputs 1143 00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:47.360 and that happens across every device. ND Bluetooth if you're 1144 00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:49.639 far enough away. M hmmm, act. 1145 00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:52.199 Yeah, dude, could just also use a normal controller. So 1146 00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:55.039 I think it's super neat ice.

The Internet only. 1228 00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:25.360 One context in which you grip it on both ends, 1229 00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:27.719 and that is if you're playing a wrestling that is a. 1230 00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:31.840 Trilogy. 1231 00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:34.119 No, you play the PlayStations that even a lot of times. 1232 00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:38.360 No, you play times much better. 1233 00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:40.480 Six Facebuns right there? 1234 00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:43.840 Come on, come on, Well, thank you gentlemen for teaching 1235 00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:47.400 me how to get all up in there about it.

I played it and I don't understand it. No, 1241 00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:07.360 we did City Trials online because that was the one 1242 00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:09.880 online mode. I then played it later. I did the 1243 00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:11.840 racing stuff later. We'll talk about that too. But the 1244 00:56:11.840 --> 00:56:14.000 City Trials is like one of those features that people 1245 00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:16.760 as kids really loved. They brought it back. There is 1246 00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:19.639 a couple of rounds to this where it's like you 1247 00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:24.360 go around a city and you're picking up power ups. 1248 00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:26.239 Some of them are passive, some of them give you 1249 00:56:26.280 --> 00:56:28.960 the abilities to like attack people. The passive abilities like 1250 00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:33.159 build up your stats that you then take into like 1251 00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:35.960 you go like there's a moment where the game's like, okay, 1252 00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:39.719 you everyone's collected all their stuff. Now choose which minigame 1253 00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:41.239 you want to do. And it's not like you're voting 1254 00:56:41.320 --> 00:56:43.719 for the entire lobby. It's like, no, you have a 1255 00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:46.639 certain level of stats. You should choose the minigame you 1256 00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:49.639 that best fits your stats, and then you'll go in 1257 00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:52.599 there with other people who chose that mini game. And 1258 00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:55.280 if someone were to say, choose a minigame by themselves, 1259 00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:58.719 they would just go in there, buy themselves and automatically win. 1260 00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:02.599 So strain out of the box. But it was so 1261 00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:08.519 chaotic and so like just NonStop overwhelming that eventually I 1262 00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:10.320 kind of came around to it because it's like it's 1263 00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:12.480 going for it. They don't care. They just want to 1264 00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:15.800 blitz your brain with input and uh and yeah. And 1265 00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:19.239 then the mini games are stuff like hey, drop through 1266 00:57:19.239 --> 00:57:21.239 these rings and try to get the most points possible. 1267 00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:25.119 It's it's like pretty simple stuff. The racing and this 1268 00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:26.880 is like one of the best looking games I've seen 1269 00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:30.840 on the switch to it, Like it's got like style 1270 00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:35.280 visual like a fidelity is just up there. The courses 1271 00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:37.719 just have so much going on and they look fantastic. 1272 00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:40.199 I still don't know if I love the way the 1273 00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:42.239 racing works, but I was starting to get it, and 1274 00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:44.840 I was enjoying myself, Like I know you did some 1275 00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:46.360 of the racing too, and yeah like that. 1276 00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:48.639 Yeah, city trials kind of seems like nonsense to me, 1277 00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:50.679 Like I think we all did, like uh, and maybe 1278 00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:52.679 I would understand it more if I mess around. Maybe 1279 00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:54.400 this not satorials, but it just kind of it did 1280 00:57:54.400 --> 00:57:57.920 It seem a bit like I'm just kind of flailing around, right, 1281 00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:00.599 It seems like a flailing around experience. But when I 1282 00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:02.519 was just doing the normal races, I was having a 1283 00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:04.000 lot of fun with that. Like you said, the tracks 1284 00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:07.920 themselves are just very pretty. I don't have too much 1285 00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.440 trouble grocking the control system here, which I think is 1286 00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:13.679 a hurdle for some people. But basically you're always going 1287 00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:16.880 and you use that one button as sort of your 1288 00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:22.239 break in your drift and some others. Yeah, So basically, 1289 00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:24.559 just like you know, when there's a turn, you hold 1290 00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:26.639 that thing down, so you start kind of drifting into 1291 00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:28.079 it and you turn into the drift and then you 1292 00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:29.840 release and you get a speed boost and you start 1293 00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:30.400 going again. 1294 00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:33.400 That's largely what you're You never drifts as much as 1295 00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:34.880 I think it's going to, and then that might be 1296 00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:36.880 because I was choosing the wrong machine. Yeah. 1297 00:58:36.960 --> 00:58:39.079 The carts are The carts do vary a good bit. 1298 00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:40.960 It's one of the things like when you're starting out, 1299 00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:44.320 maybe just use that normy star cart to kind of 1300 00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:47.960 get the hang of it to begin with. But yeah, 1301 00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:50.280 I mean I was, I was having fun doing that, 1302 00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:52.360 And there are things like there's power ups. When you 1303 00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:54.320 get that, you'll get abilities that you can attack some 1304 00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:56.239 of the other players with and whatnot. Though it doesn't 1305 00:58:56.239 --> 00:58:59.840 seem quite as offensive slash item heavy as say am 1306 00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:03.800 Ario Kart. Maybe again, it's hard to grock the entire 1307 00:59:03.880 --> 00:59:07.800 thing just from that little play test, but it seems 1308 00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:10.079 like it could be fun. I'm still pretty shock they 1309 00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:11.880 made this game right, because it seems like this is 1310 00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:14.960 going to be just as divisive as Herby air Rider 1311 00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.639 was at the time, which was like a game that, 1312 00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:19.599 like was, did not review very well, but just has 1313 00:59:19.639 --> 00:59:20.280 people who do. 1314 00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:21.000 Really like it. 1315 00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:23.400 I bet a similar thing is going to happen this 1316 00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:24.000 time around. 1317 00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:29.400 Yeah, types of characters I should expect from Kirby A Riders. 1318 00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.679 You got your Kirby's, you got your King in this. 1319 00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:35.480 You got you got your band Dan at Wattle D's, 1320 00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:37.880 you got your Wattle Dues, you got. 1321 00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:41.960 This is just this is the Joe dirt sequence. That's 1322 00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:43.719 what I was thinking about. 1323 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:44.719 Goods. 1324 00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:55.840 Yeah, Gooey the second player from Kirby's Dreamland three, Gooey Gooey. 1325 00:59:56.079 --> 00:59:58.920 Yeah, I'm making sure that this is just a knockoff slime. 1326 00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:01.000 What the fuck are you? Shut the hell up. We 1327 01:00:01.039 --> 01:00:05.000 respect Kirby's friend. Gooey and I played this doing his tongue, 1328 01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:07.400 was just doing all kinds of things, capturing all kinds 1329 01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:09.039 of power ups. It was very impressive. 1330 01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:10.800 I don't like that. I just see an image that 1331 01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.119 says Gooey is here and this little freak has his 1332 01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:13.599 tongue out. 1333 01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:17.519 I don't think it's a good idea to make an 1334 01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:22.079 entire video game the boat in the tunnel sequence from 1335 01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:25.519 Willy Wonka. It seems like that's a bad idea. 1336 01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:28.320 Oh when you phrase it like that, I'm all in now. 1337 01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:29.599 Yeah, that makes me want more. 1338 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:31.880 That is kind of a good description of this game. 1339 01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:33.760 That should just be one of the music tracks. 1340 01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:35.760 And I just think, like, I. 1341 01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:38.320 Don't know, they all got off that boat quite ill, 1342 01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:43.760 and maybe too much of a good thing turns out 1343 01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:45.679 to be a bad thing, is all I'm gonna say, 1344 01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:47.840 because that's what this game feels like. 1345 01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:52.599 I think I saw there's a hamster in this game 1346 01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:53.000 as well. 1347 01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:56.159 There was a player in Kirby and Kirby. 1348 01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:57.320 I don't know if you can play this, And I 1349 01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:00.519 don't remember that fucking hamster's name. He's one of the 1350 01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:02.400 animal Kirby's Rick. 1351 01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:09.559 Rick. That's name is just never remember that. He was crazy. 1352 01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:13.280 Stepdad named what the hell? I don't know? 1353 01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:15.000 Shouts out to Rick. 1354 01:01:16.559 --> 01:01:20.360 They was just fucking Rick. I guess with that. 1355 01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:21.960 Yeah, okay, play is Rick? 1356 01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:23.800 Okay? All right, I guess I am all the way 1357 01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:24.800 back on board. 1358 01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:29.679 Okay, is this is Kirby a Writers supposed to come 1359 01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:35.280 out this year days two days time on the twentieth. 1360 01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:38.960 Oh boy, all right, real quick. 1361 01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:41.079 I didn't put it on the sheet, but mean, Kayla 1362 01:01:41.159 --> 01:01:44.719 did try to start the Black Ops seven campaign. I 1363 01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:46.559 don't know what the fun's going on with that, but 1364 01:01:46.599 --> 01:01:49.880 that feels bad immediately, and I just have a lot 1365 01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:50.559 of questions. 1366 01:01:50.519 --> 01:01:54.440 Four player co op online, so we were able to 1367 01:01:54.519 --> 01:01:56.079 do to it. 1368 01:01:56.119 --> 01:01:59.000 Is it is? Yes, yes it is. And here's the thing. 1369 01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:00.599 I think it's the thing where like me and Kayla 1370 01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:02.320 were playing two player and we just saw each other, 1371 01:02:02.519 --> 01:02:04.000 but then it would do these cut scenes in the UC. 1372 01:02:04.039 --> 01:02:05.199 For like who the fuck are those people? 1373 01:02:05.719 --> 01:02:06.719 Maybe they were running around. 1374 01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:10.719 It just all feels like like like trashed zombie DLC. 1375 01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:15.840 You know, it's like they're always online things where you. 1376 01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:18.000 Might be onto something Dan. Yeah. Yeah. 1377 01:02:18.079 --> 01:02:20.199 It just feels like really weirdly thrown together. And there's 1378 01:02:20.239 --> 01:02:22.800 like mechanics and stuff in it, and like you know, 1379 01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:24.960 like Diablo loot type colors and stuff in a Call 1380 01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:27.079 of Duty campaign, but none of the system seemed really 1381 01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:29.800 fleshed out anyway. It all just kind of like ran 1382 01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:33.400 weird and looked weird. And like Tonally, I like the 1383 01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:35.280 idea of Call of Duty campaigns getting weird and like 1384 01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:36.159 kind of supernatural. 1385 01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:37.039 That did some of that and. 1386 01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:40.159 Six and I liked it, But this just feels like 1387 01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:42.239 something that was on the cutting room floor or something. 1388 01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:45.039 It's I think, I think that's exactly what it has 1389 01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:46.639 to be, because I'm like, this is like these are 1390 01:02:46.679 --> 01:02:50.280 the you know, expansions, but the full games versions of 1391 01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:52.400 these where it's like Black Ops seven right after Black 1392 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:54.360 Ops six, and it's like there's no way that they 1393 01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:56.360 had all this stuff ready to go. It's like this 1394 01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:59.000 is just stuff they cut and scraped together and threw 1395 01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:01.800 back out there for you. I want to try it. 1396 01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:03.119 I need to try it. 1397 01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:05.960 I like Call of Dutey campaigns. I realized it's just 1398 01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:08.599 kind of the same type. It's just very comfort food, 1399 01:03:08.599 --> 01:03:10.079 like oh, big dumb action set piece. 1400 01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:10.199 Sure. 1401 01:03:10.599 --> 01:03:11.559 I like playing them all? 1402 01:03:12.079 --> 01:03:13.559 Yeah, I think has. 1403 01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:15.400 Anyone else here played the majority of them. 1404 01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:19.000 I've dipped into the campaign I didn't do like Vanguardland 1405 01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:20.480 when they went back to World War Two for a second, 1406 01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:21.320 like Vanguarden stuff. 1407 01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:22.840 I didn't do those, but I think the rest of 1408 01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:23.360 them did all that. 1409 01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:27.360 Could you do like a quick like Mount rushmore of campaigns. 1410 01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:30.480 I'd say Call of Duty four the first modern warfare 1411 01:03:30.920 --> 01:03:33.519 probably number one for me. I really did like last 1412 01:03:33.599 --> 01:03:37.760 year's I thought Black Ops six, Black Ops two, Modern 1413 01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:39.639 Warfare two first time around. 1414 01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:41.639 Those are advanced warfare. 1415 01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:43.880 Press have to pay respects. That was pretty good. 1416 01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:45.400 Actually kind of liked the advanced warfare. 1417 01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:47.119 Is that the one with Kit Harrington. 1418 01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:49.559 No, that's Kevin Spacey. Kit Harrington was infinite warfare. The 1419 01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:52.719 Space which was also the Space one was pretty good. 1420 01:03:53.199 --> 01:03:57.719 It was all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, this one sucks. 1421 01:03:58.559 --> 01:04:01.800 Folks curious about more Call of Duty Black Ops seven. 1422 01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:05.960 We did play it for a bit on UPF last week. Also, 1423 01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:10.000 friend of the site Lex Luddy has a very very 1424 01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:13.280 scathing review of it on restart. I did see that. Yeah, 1425 01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:18.000 I believe one out of five. Uh, go go read that. 1426 01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:20.840 I'm not the biggest fan of Call of Duty, but 1427 01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:24.039 it is very interesting to see the decisions made to 1428 01:04:24.199 --> 01:04:28.480 this game. And Mike you had a very interesting uh 1429 01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:32.719 post on Blue Sky that made me. 1430 01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:36.280 This is the game that they're like, we're gonna use 1431 01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:39.480 generative AI for some of our art assets. The game 1432 01:04:39.880 --> 01:04:43.519 that makes the most some of the most unearned billions 1433 01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:47.159 of dollars every single year, supported by a literal trillion 1434 01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:50.679 dollar company. I had to get art from my computer case, 1435 01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:53.280 and I paid a fucking artist to do it me 1436 01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:59.400 by myself, your fucking Microsoft owned call of duty. Pay 1437 01:04:59.480 --> 01:05:02.599 people to make your stupid little banners that people on 1438 01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:06.760 lock at like APEX Prestige level nine to two or 1439 01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:11.400 whatever the hell holy fuck is wrong with you. 1440 01:05:11.519 --> 01:05:14.159 And they look like it's the Ghibli stuff, but then 1441 01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:16.599 also like the Prestige icons and stuff like that, or 1442 01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:20.440 just just like super overdesigned, ugly slop like it's terrible. 1443 01:05:20.559 --> 01:05:24.880 It's fucking any reuse those from any of the other games, 1444 01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:30.159 right right, that would be better. Yeah, yeah, they got 1445 01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:32.000 an artist to draw those weed leaves. 1446 01:05:32.360 --> 01:05:34.800 Yes, So if. 1447 01:05:34.719 --> 01:05:37.719 You were getting like videgans have used AI for a 1448 01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:40.079 long time, like what what, people just freak out Like 1449 01:05:40.119 --> 01:05:44.000 there's clearly not a difference between using AI to like 1450 01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:48.639 randomly generate trees if you just steal the studio Ghibli 1451 01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:54.440 art style to make shitty art assets. Everybody understands the difference. 1452 01:05:54.679 --> 01:05:57.280 You're not smart, You're not like, you're not you're not 1453 01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:00.280 you're not finding some like interesting even ground. I don't 1454 01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:01.119 go fuck yourself. 1455 01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:03.559 Yeah, I just don't understand. Yeah, I understand. 1456 01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:08.000 Yeah, yeah, Well going from a very. 1457 01:06:09.079 --> 01:06:12.960 Wait we did play the multiplayer? Uh? Were you guys 1458 01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:14.920 moved by that at all? I guess it was me 1459 01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:18.960 and Bechler, right, Beckler? Did you enjoy that? What you're 1460 01:06:19.239 --> 01:06:21.079 mister call of Duty? That's what they call you on 1461 01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:21.559 the streets. 1462 01:06:21.599 --> 01:06:22.440 That is my name. 1463 01:06:23.199 --> 01:06:25.480 I got it in college and I hold it to 1464 01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:29.119 this day. I think I think it's fine. I mean, 1465 01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:33.280 I don't know. I've yet to like really uh, you know, 1466 01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:35.440 explore with the normy friends and sort of see what 1467 01:06:35.480 --> 01:06:38.400 they're feeling. That's usually the barometer. 1468 01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:38.719 For me. 1469 01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:40.679 It's like, where are they landing on this thing? I 1470 01:06:40.920 --> 01:06:45.239 you know, it's just so unremarkable, I think, yes. 1471 01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:46.960 Uh, And for me. 1472 01:06:48.559 --> 01:06:51.320 That if there is something there, if there is some 1473 01:06:51.599 --> 01:06:56.519 you know, kind of like magic, that usually will make itself, 1474 01:06:57.079 --> 01:06:59.920 you know, known in the first couple hours of multiplayer, 1475 01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:03.079 I've not kind of seen that yet, and I just 1476 01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:04.519 don't know if it's gonna happen. 1477 01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:09.000 I liked that they were using some maps that I'm familiar. Yeah, 1478 01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:11.400 but if that's what I'm excited about it, that's probably 1479 01:07:11.400 --> 01:07:12.000 a bad sign. 1480 01:07:12.079 --> 01:07:14.719 Yeah, Yeah, yeah, Caitly and I played like one round 1481 01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:16.360 and we were planning like, oh, let's download this and 1482 01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:17.480 you can play on the portal and I'll play on 1483 01:07:17.480 --> 01:07:17.760 the TV. 1484 01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:18.800 We'll go through the campaign. 1485 01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:20.880 And then the campaign didn't move us, and it's like, okay, 1486 01:07:20.920 --> 01:07:21.960 let's let's just multiplayer. 1487 01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:22.960 Multiplayer is always good. 1488 01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:24.760 We did like one round and then we like looked 1489 01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:25.960 at each other and we're like, let's go back to 1490 01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:28.880 Simpsons Fortnite. And we played like six hours of Simpsons Fortnite. 1491 01:07:29.039 --> 01:07:33.320 That was the way better. Yes, fantastic. 1492 01:07:33.440 --> 01:07:37.039 Well, if the campaign is for players, maybe it's time 1493 01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:39.039 for the compadres to write again. 1494 01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:44.480 We figured out Mike was the problem Me and do 1495 01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:47.679 great with Absolom. We're a team, Mike can't. 1496 01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:48.840 You're throwing. 1497 01:07:48.840 --> 01:07:51.400 Options in Absolom are incredibly limited. Dan, you just have 1498 01:07:51.480 --> 01:07:52.599 to literally start throwing. 1499 01:07:52.639 --> 01:07:53.800 I think we're a team. 1500 01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:58.239 Yeah, we're a team, all of us, and that includes 1501 01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:02.440 and Roger uh folks. I was seeking out a game 1502 01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:05.199 to emotionally devastate me. Over the weekend, I was able 1503 01:08:05.199 --> 01:08:07.840 to catch up on a bunch of stuff, Like I mentioned, 1504 01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:12.840 play through Snoby. I'm a savant at or an adept 1505 01:08:13.000 --> 01:08:16.520 at absolom as Mikey said, and I wanted something like 1506 01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:22.319 Mouthwashing from last year to absolutely wreck my insides because 1507 01:08:22.359 --> 01:08:25.560 I need to feel something. And I hit up Blue 1508 01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:29.840 Sky and this was a top recommendation and Roger it's 1509 01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:34.199 about like forty minutes to an hour. It is a 1510 01:08:34.319 --> 01:08:39.199 very small game, lovingly made by real people. No detection 1511 01:08:39.279 --> 01:08:43.880 of AI at all, and Gang, I don't think I 1512 01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:51.720 have felt the level of dread and horror that happens 1513 01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:54.279 in like the first twenty minutes of this game. And 1514 01:08:54.319 --> 01:08:58.520 it is done like masterfully, and it is definitely a 1515 01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:01.279 game that I beat it last night and I'm still 1516 01:09:01.319 --> 01:09:05.800 thinking about it. In how it is the messaging and 1517 01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:09.439 the imagery is just kind of sticky. The gameplay in it. 1518 01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:11.239 You would think if it is like a very storage 1519 01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:14.079 driven game, it would be fairly light, but they really 1520 01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:18.880 mess with like game mechanics in a nice way. Where 1521 01:09:19.159 --> 01:09:21.840 initially you were just kind of hitting buttons or hitting 1522 01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:25.399 a button to progress through of like okay, well, now 1523 01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:27.880 you gotta like make sure you're moving from point A 1524 01:09:27.960 --> 01:09:32.239 to point B stealthily you're avoiding someone's eyesight. And then 1525 01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:36.720 that happens, but then it quickly becomes very apparent, and 1526 01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:39.039 I don't want to spoil anything for the game, but 1527 01:09:39.159 --> 01:09:42.239 it becomes quickly apparent that everything is not quite as 1528 01:09:42.279 --> 01:09:45.119 it seems, whether you as a player, a character, or 1529 01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:48.600 the other character interacting with And then that just adds 1530 01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:51.239 up to the tension. So now suddenly that one button 1531 01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:53.600 is no longer just one button, but it's now a 1532 01:09:53.640 --> 01:09:56.319 mess of buttons on your screen, and you're panically trying 1533 01:09:56.319 --> 01:09:59.960 to get through the sequence, and you're just mashing on 1534 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:03.000 all of the buns to finally find the one that 1535 01:10:03.119 --> 01:10:04.600 it is to open a door. 1536 01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:07.199 Similar to. 1537 01:10:09.039 --> 01:10:13.000 Dan what was the eating disorder? Consume Me? Consume Me? 1538 01:10:13.079 --> 01:10:16.319 Similar to Consume Me, This uses a bunch of like 1539 01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:20.319 Little War Hellwear style mini games to get through the 1540 01:10:20.399 --> 01:10:25.520 storytelling sequence. And the ups and downs are very dramatic 1541 01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:30.399 in this. And if anyone has ever been very emotional 1542 01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:34.439 watching the opening sequence to the Pixar movie Up that is, 1543 01:10:34.600 --> 01:10:37.359 imagine that stretched out into a sequence close to an 1544 01:10:37.399 --> 01:10:41.640 hour and emotionally devastating and and and rex you, I 1545 01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:48.359 will say, if you are at all sensitive to any 1546 01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:55.680 any content regarding like adult relations, physical relations, or perhaps 1547 01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:01.720 dealing with elderly family members, maybe I wouldn't say steer clear. 1548 01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:07.079 I would say tiptoe and approach with caution because as 1549 01:11:07.079 --> 01:11:09.720 someone that I can't say is going through similar things 1550 01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:11.920 or has gone through similar things, this still hits me 1551 01:11:12.039 --> 01:11:15.520 on a very personal level that I highly recommend and 1552 01:11:16.039 --> 01:11:19.520 thanks to everyone that recommended and Roger. Again, it's like 1553 01:11:19.640 --> 01:11:23.720 five bucks on Steam, it's forty minutes to an hour. Also, 1554 01:11:23.760 --> 01:11:26.800 the art style is beautiful. In the moments when the 1555 01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:29.800 game is kind of in like a positive upswing, you 1556 01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:33.359 can't help but smile and be happy about it. And 1557 01:11:33.399 --> 01:11:36.000 then the way that they pull the rug from underneath you, 1558 01:11:36.319 --> 01:11:39.479 not just once but several times, I think is a 1559 01:11:39.560 --> 01:11:44.560 masterful achievement. And just like Despolote and other games from 1560 01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:49.199 this year, it just really shows that indie games are 1561 01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:54.159 really proving video games as a fantastic medium for telling stories. 1562 01:11:55.279 --> 01:11:58.000 Which is just so funny to hear about the AI 1563 01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:00.560 slop and how much call of duty it's just become 1564 01:12:00.560 --> 01:12:03.520 a titan that's tripping on it on its own tail 1565 01:12:03.880 --> 01:12:06.399 versus a small game like and Roger that is just 1566 01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:09.000 two people. And this is a game that I feel 1567 01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:11.279 like will stick with me, just like Mouthwashing is stuck 1568 01:12:11.319 --> 01:12:13.720 with me. Versus Call of Duty where I'll just fucking 1569 01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:16.720 forget about it and remember like, oh me alvent to megla, 1570 01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:20.560 he was in that one right here, but man and 1571 01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:23.399 Roger looks at home and Roger, I don't. I think 1572 01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:24.800 it is only on PC, so. 1573 01:12:26.439 --> 01:12:26.760 For sure. 1574 01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:29.000 Yeah, I think it is one of those games that 1575 01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:30.920 also runs into MAC. So hey, if you got a 1576 01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:32.319 Mac out there, go go get it. 1577 01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:35.039 I like to look. It's got that like that strongly 1578 01:12:35.079 --> 01:12:37.079 two bit style of like you know, two colors and 1579 01:12:37.159 --> 01:12:41.880 a lot of situations and very stylized. And then it's like, 1580 01:12:42.359 --> 01:12:44.359 is the does the girl? I don't know if I'd 1581 01:12:44.399 --> 01:12:45.800 be able to handle this? Is the girl going to 1582 01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:48.159 feel isolated alone? I just can't do that with kids 1583 01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:51.760 stuff right now. It's uh too much so that sort 1584 01:12:51.760 --> 01:12:52.000 of thing. 1585 01:12:52.119 --> 01:12:55.000 I didn't think about it from like a fatherly aspect, grub, 1586 01:12:55.159 --> 01:12:56.279 don't do this, don't don't. 1587 01:12:56.880 --> 01:12:58.680 Yeah, this might be one I have to wait on 1588 01:12:58.760 --> 01:12:59.479 a couple of years to. 1589 01:12:59.520 --> 01:13:03.039 See, uh, you know, thinking about it, how you would 1590 01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:08.399 approach this game? Avoid this like the play I think 1591 01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:11.399 this one was good. Was a person, it looks like 1592 01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:15.520 it would hurt actually Okay, yeah, it's very quick. Dan 1593 01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:20.640 like and uh yeah, yeah. Again it deals with some 1594 01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:23.399 heavy stuff at the tippy top, but it gets contextualized 1595 01:13:23.439 --> 01:13:27.399 and that's not justifying it, but it is Oh boy, 1596 01:13:27.560 --> 01:13:28.800 oh boy, one of those. 1597 01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:32.039 Friends between the mouthwashing you mentioned Dan consume me.

I'd call 1599 01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:36.279 them similar based on what you're describing, but like I 1600 01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:38.760 was surprised by Like, you know, I'm usually mister like, oh, 1601 01:13:39.159 --> 01:13:40.520 I don't care about narrative. 1602 01:13:40.520 --> 01:13:41.439 Games don't affect me, but. 1603 01:13:41.399 --> 01:13:43.359 Like those two were like, oh wait, actually I see 1604 01:13:43.359 --> 01:13:44.680 what they're doing here, and this is this? 1605 01:13:45.079 --> 01:13:48.279 Really I think I did, But there was just a 1606 01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:49.720 lot of soccer stuff. 1607 01:13:52.159 --> 01:13:55.039 That looks got his lines minus is soccer ball and 1608 01:13:55.079 --> 01:13:57.680 I'm mad Redford Bee fans. 1609 01:13:58.159 --> 01:14:00.880 That's right, we love the Bees.

You were like holding 1620 01:14:36.399 --> 01:14:39.319 onto her hips as she she took off her helmet 1621 01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:40.720 and her hair was just riding through the. 1622 01:14:40.680 --> 01:14:43.960 Wind bound to like Kanye and what's her name? Yeah, 1623 01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:50.239 Kim Kardashian. Yeah, no, no bikes. And then you saw 1624 01:14:50.239 --> 01:14:53.439 the Rick Morana's character. And then the internet exploded when 1625 01:14:53.479 --> 01:14:57.239 they all also saw the Rick Morana's character. Crubb and 1626 01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:00.439 back Lar, y'all did a quick look ex for the 1627 01:15:00.479 --> 01:15:03.119 game last Friday. I highly suggest all folks at home 1628 01:15:03.159 --> 01:15:08.159 go check that out. But that's right Prime four. You 1629 01:15:08.199 --> 01:15:10.199 know we we did do that that quick look. So 1630 01:15:10.520 --> 01:15:12.159 I'll let Mike, why don't you go ahead and ask 1631 01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:14.479 your questions about Oh sure, Mike, is that what this is? 1632 01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:16.960 Go for it. I don't. I don't even have questions. 1633 01:15:17.119 --> 01:15:20.760 I know what's happening. There's a talkie. There's a talkie character. 1634 01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:22.279 And he has a couple of quips in the beginning, 1635 01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:25.960 and all I'm doing right now is hoping that he's 1636 01:15:25.960 --> 01:15:26.720 not in it much. 1637 01:15:27.159 --> 01:15:28.199 I uh. 1638 01:15:28.760 --> 01:15:30.319 There are some people who are trying to spend like 1639 01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:32.199 here's why it might actually be a good thing. It 1640 01:15:32.239 --> 01:15:34.760 won't be a good thing. It is already a bad thing. 1641 01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:36.600 It's like I don't want to hear like, well you 1642 01:15:36.680 --> 01:15:37.680 will make Sama score. 1643 01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:38.039 No. 1644 01:15:38.039 --> 01:15:41.039 No, Sam's already as cool as can be. My question 1645 01:15:41.079 --> 01:15:44.239 now is just what's what's the minimal damage done by this? 1646 01:15:44.399 --> 01:15:45.439 Actually he does. 1647 01:15:45.359 --> 01:15:48.560 Make her seem a bit cooler in moments where she 1648 01:15:48.720 --> 01:15:50.000 says nothing and he. 1649 01:15:50.039 --> 01:15:51.840 I liked I like the interactions. I like it. 1650 01:15:51.920 --> 01:15:54.359 Yeah, I thought that positive. 1651 01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:58.000 The line for me was when he was when when 1652 01:15:58.039 --> 01:16:00.479 you were playing the game and he was like, hey, 1653 01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:03.960 you missed this, don't do that. I don't let me 1654 01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:04.680 play Metroid. 1655 01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:06.800 If it's a fucking head thing from God to War, 1656 01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:09.079 that's a problem. But if it's just a lame character 1657 01:16:09.119 --> 01:16:10.560 that shows up in a couple of early game cut 1658 01:16:10.600 --> 01:16:12.920 scenes and the rest is just a Metroid Prime game, 1659 01:16:13.159 --> 01:16:14.600 I can't see that being a big problem. 1660 01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:16.680 I think he's kind of I think he's there to 1661 01:16:16.720 --> 01:16:19.960 like soften the transition, to get people into a game 1662 01:16:20.039 --> 01:16:21.640 like this in a way that they've not done before. 1663 01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:23.159 So yeah, I think the lot people who play a 1664 01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:24.880 lot of Metro games are not gonna like them, no matter. 1665 01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:27.239 Look, I don't know the proportionality of like how much 1666 01:16:27.359 --> 01:16:29.720 these NPCs are in the game whatsoever. But what I 1667 01:16:29.760 --> 01:16:32.479 do think is this proportion is the amount of like 1668 01:16:32.800 --> 01:16:36.960 fucking discourse over it, as opposed to like, what's a 1669 01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:40.279 goddamn who the fuck cares? Everyone's got to just grow 1670 01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:44.079 the fuck up. Mike is extremely weak to metroid discourse. 1671 01:16:44.159 --> 01:16:46.319 I have found between apparently I know, people were yelling 1672 01:16:46.319 --> 01:16:49.640 about sand and then this character and Mike gets worth. 1673 01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:51.720 For Mike to be. 1674 01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:56.560 I think it's fair for what for your reaction during 1675 01:16:56.600 --> 01:16:59.279 the trailer stuff, Mike, I thought, because you're coming from 1676 01:16:59.319 --> 01:17:01.279 the same place was where it's just like, shut the 1677 01:17:01.319 --> 01:17:02.239 fuck up nerds. 1678 01:17:02.640 --> 01:17:05.079 Right now, I'm one of the loud. Now I'm one 1679 01:17:05.119 --> 01:17:06.079 of the whining nerds. 1680 01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:08.399 I don't know if you're whining, but you're certainly like 1681 01:17:08.479 --> 01:17:09.119 flirting with it. 1682 01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:13.520 No, is he winging winging? 1683 01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:15.840 I don't even know what that means, but sure he's 1684 01:17:15.880 --> 01:17:17.279 a he's wingy. 1685 01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:21.560 Yeah, I mean this, you know, I don't even think 1686 01:17:21.600 --> 01:17:24.600 about that guy now. I also am probably the more 1687 01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:28.520 of a normal video game player who is a big 1688 01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:31.920 boy and has like other ship just going on, and 1689 01:17:31.960 --> 01:17:33.720 I don't know, like time. 1690 01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:36.479 That much. 1691 01:17:37.159 --> 01:17:39.640 I loved what I play to that thing, and I 1692 01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:42.119 told Grub on the on the quick, look like I'm 1693 01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:44.840 thinking about this game a lot, like at the like 1694 01:17:44.920 --> 01:17:47.880 the first time. I'm just like, man, I want this now, 1695 01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:51.119 Like can I just like do it now? Like I'm special, 1696 01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:54.520 let me have it now already. I'm trying to veruc 1697 01:17:54.560 --> 01:17:56.079 assault my way into this ship. 1698 01:17:56.359 --> 01:17:59.840 Game please, game please. I am like that. 1699 01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:02.000 I think that like oh, no, turns out this is 1700 01:18:02.039 --> 01:18:04.159 gonna be a bad game or anything, I'm still very 1701 01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:07.119 excited and like a game looks very good. 1702 01:18:07.159 --> 01:18:08.960 It looks very pretty. It's all the fun stuff. 1703 01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:11.600 That's the one thing that I think is sort of 1704 01:18:11.680 --> 01:18:14.680 under discussed because at least from the trailers, I was 1705 01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:17.159 even sort of like, oh, it was a game just 1706 01:18:17.239 --> 01:18:19.239 like Needs with a couple more you know, Hours in 1707 01:18:19.239 --> 01:18:19.920 the Oven. 1708 01:18:19.760 --> 01:18:22.000 Or something like that. But no, it. 1709 01:18:21.960 --> 01:18:27.359 Looks so good, like so very good, Like oh my god, 1710 01:18:27.520 --> 01:18:32.159 this looks phenomenal. And I was that for me, Like 1711 01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:36.119 you know, I I do tend to maybe be disproportionately 1712 01:18:36.159 --> 01:18:40.119 impressed by visuals. Sometimes this ship looks phenomenal. 1713 01:18:41.119 --> 01:18:43.000 I like when doctor Ryan said, when we were talking 1714 01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:45.600 about that character, he said, keep the same energy. If 1715 01:18:45.640 --> 01:18:48.039 this guy does talk all game like ma Miror or 1716 01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:52.000 Aloy and don't just give it an Intendo a passother 1717 01:18:52.159 --> 01:18:56.720 Meou Mirror or Aloy, I will, I will. 1718 01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:00.600 I just like, can you even imagine a world where 1719 01:19:00.600 --> 01:19:02.239 that could be a thing. It just doesn't make sense. 1720 01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:04.279 I don't know. I really don't think that's gonna happen me. 1721 01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:06.640 And look, I'll say Mamir did not bother me because 1722 01:19:06.640 --> 01:19:09.600 I aren't kind of fucking like Momir. But like Aloi, yes, 1723 01:19:10.039 --> 01:19:12.159 no one cares, you know, ALOI is just like all 1724 01:19:12.279 --> 01:19:15.600 right enough, But uh yeah. 1725 01:19:15.359 --> 01:19:16.479 I don't know. I don't know. 1726 01:19:16.560 --> 01:19:18.720 I I also like have a feeling that like, I 1727 01:19:18.720 --> 01:19:22.239 don't know, this is complete conjecture based on nothing but 1728 01:19:22.319 --> 01:19:25.640 a but a gut feeling. I do feel like this 1729 01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:29.319 guy just won't be around after you leave that world. 1730 01:19:29.640 --> 01:19:32.720 Maybe you will have another person that's that fulfills the 1731 01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:33.560 same sort of role. 1732 01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:37.119 Yeah, but maybe like someone that checks in. Like, but 1733 01:19:37.239 --> 01:19:38.840 you know, if you if you meet an NPC every 1734 01:19:38.840 --> 01:19:41.279 now and then, my expectation that this guy is hanging 1735 01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:42.760 around with you for the beginning kind of like a 1736 01:19:42.800 --> 01:19:46.279 tutorial person, and then he either fucking dies or you 1737 01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:48.720 see him every once in a while after that and 1738 01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:50.319 maybe you see some other people. Don't think there's gonna 1739 01:19:50.319 --> 01:19:53.079 be that many npcsaollowing you around. 1740 01:19:53.039 --> 01:19:55.680 I also, I also don't think it really does a 1741 01:19:55.720 --> 01:20:00.319 lot in the way of like compromising the isolation and 1742 01:20:00.520 --> 01:20:03.600 you know perversion that everyone has with Metroid. I get it, 1743 01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:06.199 that's what metroid is, but I not once was I 1744 01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:08.960 just like, well, this is a whole different game now, 1745 01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:14.000 and I it's it's certainly, you know, easy to kind 1746 01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:17.439 of like you know, a mesh back in and realize like, oh, 1747 01:20:17.640 --> 01:20:20.359 you're you are in a weird place.

I Like, I 1763 01:21:06.319 --> 01:21:09.560 see a lot of people and like equips like MCU, 1764 01:21:09.600 --> 01:21:13.520 and it's like, okay, I mean like I just wasn't 1765 01:21:13.560 --> 01:21:15.199 feeling that way when I was playing, Like some of 1766 01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:17.600 them are like a little bit like cute, but it like, 1767 01:21:18.239 --> 01:21:20.000 first of all, people need to find another thing to 1768 01:21:20.039 --> 01:21:22.319 compare stuff to than just the MCU. Like it's like 1769 01:21:22.359 --> 01:21:25.279 it's not everything is exactly like four hundred movies. 1770 01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:29.399 It's like, yeah, people, but that does describe a very 1771 01:21:29.479 --> 01:21:32.680 certain type of snark that is just absolute kryptonite to 1772 01:21:32.760 --> 01:21:33.600 certain people like me. 1773 01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:37.119 Yeah, you know, it's like wheed and esque as well, 1774 01:21:37.159 --> 01:21:39.520 Like there's but there's variations on it.

Necessarily there 1776 01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:45.359 are out of context those lines look exactly like that, 1777 01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:47.159 So I get why people are drawing the one to 1778 01:21:47.199 --> 01:21:49.399 one line. But when I was watching it, its just 1779 01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:50.880 I was not feeling that way, and I was in 1780 01:21:50.920 --> 01:21:53.560 there watching the gameplay that back I was showing me, 1781 01:21:53.720 --> 01:21:55.920 So I don't know, it's a little bit more subtle 1782 01:21:55.960 --> 01:21:56.199 than that. 1783 01:21:56.920 --> 01:21:59.359 Yeah, Like when he showed up during my during the preview, 1784 01:21:59.439 --> 01:22:01.159 I was just like, oh, wow, this is not a 1785 01:22:01.199 --> 01:22:04.239 thing I've seen, you know, and I'm you know, and 1786 01:22:04.279 --> 01:22:06.840 that's kind of where it ended. I get it. My 1787 01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:08.239 tolerance is much more. 1788 01:22:08.920 --> 01:22:13.279 Uh yeah, but I want Metroit Prime one.

I could see all 1849 01:25:12.359 --> 01:25:15.640 these games got there. I wish Blueprints was on there, 1850 01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:17.920 but too early in the year to kind of stand 1851 01:25:18.000 --> 01:25:21.039 up to the likes of Hades two and Hollow Night's 1852 01:25:21.039 --> 01:25:22.960 Silksong the kind of games that would take its slot. 1853 01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:27.359 So I feel like I've heard stuff and rumblings people 1854 01:25:27.399 --> 01:25:31.640 talk about all of these games post launch except Death 1855 01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:35.119 Stranding two, and I know that like we live in 1856 01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:37.880 a bubble where like, you know, Dan's very into Kojima, 1857 01:25:38.920 --> 01:25:42.079 and I've been curious to circle back to Death Stranding too, 1858 01:25:42.119 --> 01:25:45.159 but I haven't seen much buzz around it since the 1859 01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:48.640 initial like week month it came out, so I'm surprised 1860 01:25:48.640 --> 01:25:50.119 to see it nominated here. 1861 01:25:50.520 --> 01:25:53.319 Now. I listened to the Next Litter podcast where that's 1862 01:25:53.359 --> 01:25:58.039 the only game they talk about, so it's yeah, Death 1863 01:25:58.119 --> 01:25:59.600 Randy two is kind of all they've talked about for 1864 01:25:59.640 --> 01:26:00.880 like the last month and a half. 1865 01:26:02.199 --> 01:26:04.920 Because it was like that I was working with them 1866 01:26:04.960 --> 01:26:08.239 when they were playing Death Stranding one, and that was 1867 01:26:08.279 --> 01:26:10.159 when I was fully like I dropped out ever seven 1868 01:26:10.199 --> 01:26:13.239 hours and like they were continuing and like it kind 1869 01:26:13.279 --> 01:26:15.560 of seemed like they hated it, but they kept playing it. 1870 01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:18.800 So interesting to hear that they're into it now. Yeah, 1871 01:26:18.920 --> 01:26:20.640 I guess that would be too, but yeah. 1872 01:26:20.479 --> 01:26:23.520 I mean the game has a ninety eight average score still, right, 1873 01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:25.720 so I think it you know, a lot of people 1874 01:26:25.920 --> 01:26:26.600 did like it. 1875 01:26:26.800 --> 01:26:29.239 I think there's also a little there's no way, right 1876 01:26:29.880 --> 01:26:32.720 ninety ninety eight you said ninety eight, you said no, 1877 01:26:32.960 --> 01:26:35.760 I'm sorry. I meant I even read ninety when I 1878 01:26:35.760 --> 01:26:39.560 said it. I don't know, sorry, yeah, ninety So you know, yes, 1879 01:26:39.760 --> 01:26:41.600 I mean, I'm not too surprise. 1880 01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:45.640 Bus there's a little bit of a Coajima association with 1881 01:26:45.760 --> 01:26:48.279 Game Awards factor. I don't know, not that there's a 1882 01:26:48.520 --> 01:26:50.039 funny going on, but just think, you. 1883 01:26:49.920 --> 01:26:52.720 Know, speaking of mind, I was kind of surprised because boy, 1884 01:26:52.760 --> 01:26:54.720 how do you do the game Awards Love Joseph Faris 1885 01:26:54.920 --> 01:26:57.359 and Split Fiction did not go that one. 1886 01:26:57.640 --> 01:26:59.840 That one, Yeah, that's interesting. I think it's just because 1887 01:26:59.880 --> 01:27:02.439 that game also got very good reviews. It was relatively 1888 01:27:02.479 --> 01:27:03.960 early in the year, and I think there's a little 1889 01:27:03.960 --> 01:27:07.000 bit of a that was great, very similar to the 1890 01:27:07.079 --> 01:27:08.560 last one that we thought was great and gave a 1891 01:27:08.560 --> 01:27:09.159 big award to. 1892 01:27:09.399 --> 01:27:11.600 Right, So I should say the same thing about Death 1893 01:27:11.640 --> 01:27:13.520 Training too, right, Like, ah. 1894 01:27:13.399 --> 01:27:16.359 Yeah, it was great. Test Training two is like improved 1895 01:27:16.359 --> 01:27:19.520 in all ways by all accounts. It also has doll Man. 1896 01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:20.880 You know what it has doll Man? 1897 01:27:21.600 --> 01:27:25.000 Yeah, yeah, uh for sure, Yeah, I would have liked 1898 01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:28.560 to have seen Blueprints. I'm not shocked it's not here. 1899 01:27:29.479 --> 01:27:31.960 It seems like all these games are deserving. I have 1900 01:27:32.039 --> 01:27:34.000 a played keen of cun Deliverance to you, Like I said, 1901 01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:35.680 maybe I should try that out. Seems like a lot 1902 01:27:35.720 --> 01:27:39.039 of people do like it quite a bit. I'm still 1903 01:27:39.159 --> 01:27:42.640 pretty sure Exhision thirty three is a pretty safe choice 1904 01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:42.920 to win. 1905 01:27:42.960 --> 01:27:45.920 It was the most nominated game with twelve nominations, right, 1906 01:27:46.119 --> 01:27:48.000 I mean that's the most nominated game ever at the 1907 01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:51.960 Game Awards. So yeah, it seems like it's a favorite 1908 01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:54.319 in a lot of ways. You know, surprises could happen. 1909 01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:58.520 I didn't realize a thing holding Blueprints back was the 1910 01:27:58.600 --> 01:28:00.640 lack of localization to other languages. 1911 01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:05.000 Oh yeah, you know, this stuff is very global, right, 1912 01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:07.239 That's why even though like in the US, it seems 1913 01:28:07.239 --> 01:28:09.199 like Black Myth Wukong wasn't that big a deal it 1914 01:28:09.399 --> 01:28:10.720 you know, everywhere else? 1915 01:28:10.880 --> 01:28:11.439 Yeah, everywhere. 1916 01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:13.720 It was nominated for a bunch of stuff last year, 1917 01:28:14.079 --> 01:28:16.640 a Kikom Deliverance too. I think it does very well 1918 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:20.079 internationally as well, right, So yes, i'd imagine that. 1919 01:28:22.119 --> 01:28:24.800 But yeah, I don't all these games look very good. 1920 01:28:25.600 --> 01:28:27.439 I need I'm seeing this is the thing was like, oh, 1921 01:28:27.560 --> 01:28:29.960 maybe I should go back to Kingdom. Kingdom come Deliverance too. 1922 01:28:30.319 --> 01:28:31.479 It's been some time with that more. 1923 01:28:32.039 --> 01:28:34.159 What's helping, especially in thirty three, with that record is 1924 01:28:34.159 --> 01:28:37.079 that it has three people in the Best Performance category. 1925 01:28:37.199 --> 01:28:39.600 By the way, Yeah, it kind of dominated that category 1926 01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:42.279 and kind of pushed everything else out, which makes sense. 1927 01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:46.680 I will the only I mean I cared about a 1928 01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:49.359 couple of the categories like Best Mobile Game, Uma Moose, 1929 01:28:50.119 --> 01:28:54.119 We Ride at Dawn, Everybody there you go. But I 1930 01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:57.760 was happy to see the voice actress from Silent Hill 1931 01:28:57.880 --> 01:29:02.880 f also nominated for Best Actor, Actress or Voiceover Performance, 1932 01:29:03.199 --> 01:29:06.399 along with all of Expedition thirty three. 1933 01:29:06.560 --> 01:29:08.920 Yep, you know there's assume thing's worth calling out.

I think that's going to to benefit the 1941 01:29:27.920 --> 01:29:30.800 I mean, you know, it's like Civilization seven, which everybody hates, 1942 01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:31.359 but me. 1943 01:29:31.319 --> 01:29:36.279 So oh my god, samh uh, all right, well let's 1944 01:29:36.359 --> 01:29:40.079 keep going here. Fired SNATICA two lead leads allege that 1945 01:29:40.239 --> 01:29:44.640 Crafton CEO asked chat GPT how to get out of 1946 01:29:44.640 --> 01:29:47.079 paying their two hundred and fifty million dollar bonus. The 1947 01:29:47.119 --> 01:29:50.680 co founders of Unknown Worlds, the studio developing Semonautica two, 1948 01:29:51.199 --> 01:29:54.199 have been fired by publisher Crafton. The founders allege in 1949 01:29:54.239 --> 01:29:57.399 a pre trial brief that Crafton CEO C. H. Kim 1950 01:29:57.840 --> 01:30:00.199 fired them and delayed the game's early access release to 1951 01:30:00.239 --> 01:30:02.560 avoid paying a two hundred and fifty million dollar earning 1952 01:30:02.600 --> 01:30:07.039 bonus or earnout bonus. The brief claims Crafton's finance department 1953 01:30:07.079 --> 01:30:09.600 had forecasted a one hundred and ninety one million dollar 1954 01:30:09.640 --> 01:30:13.680 earnout and that Kim feared the payment would endanger his position. Basically, 1955 01:30:13.760 --> 01:30:15.239 he was like worried that he would look like a 1956 01:30:15.239 --> 01:30:17.800 pushover if he paid too much for the studio that 1957 01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:19.600 made them a lot of money. So he went to 1958 01:30:19.680 --> 01:30:21.800 chat GBT and was like, how can I not look 1959 01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:23.680 like such a shlub. I need to look like a 1960 01:30:23.760 --> 01:30:27.319 ruthless leader, and I guess chat Gibt was like, delay 1961 01:30:27.359 --> 01:30:29.680 the games so you don't have to pay the bonus, 1962 01:30:30.239 --> 01:30:33.800 and he did that. Crafton denies the claims, stating the 1963 01:30:33.800 --> 01:30:36.720 founders showed little interest in some Nautica two's development and 1964 01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:39.039 the delay was necessary to improve the game, not to 1965 01:30:39.079 --> 01:30:41.600 avoid the bonus. So Nataka two is now pushed back 1966 01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:43.479 to twenty twenty six. I'll say, from what I've heard 1967 01:30:43.800 --> 01:30:46.000 inside of that studio, that game was ready to go. 1968 01:30:46.199 --> 01:30:48.680 This was you know, it has been alleged to me 1969 01:30:48.840 --> 01:30:54.039 that this is explicitly about not paying that bonus. Wow. Yeah, 1970 01:30:54.079 --> 01:30:59.079 that's that's a nightmare. That fucking sucks. This is but 1971 01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:03.079 it's so frustrating because it's like, you know, not to 1972 01:31:03.199 --> 01:31:06.640 like get too much on that, but like those Epstein emails, 1973 01:31:06.760 --> 01:31:09.079 this is how rich people talk. This is like they're 1974 01:31:09.119 --> 01:31:12.800 so fucking stupid. They're like they like can't spell, they 1975 01:31:12.800 --> 01:31:16.159 don't finish their sentences. They're all all these rich, powerful 1976 01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:18.920 people that control everything. Are just like, tell me what 1977 01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:20.920 the two jat GVT. I don't want to look like 1978 01:31:20.960 --> 01:31:24.199 a nerd to my rich friends. This is what we're 1979 01:31:24.239 --> 01:31:24.640 dealing with. 1980 01:31:25.279 --> 01:31:28.880 I think a lot of rich people and bad Yeah, I. 1981 01:31:28.800 --> 01:31:31.239 Think Dan, I'm glad you said it. I'm glad you 1982 01:31:31.279 --> 01:31:35.760 said it. Take a stand here. It's very frustrating. I 1983 01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:38.520 that game will probably eventually come out, but man, is 1984 01:31:38.560 --> 01:31:40.560 anyone that stud you're gonna have the morale to continue 1985 01:31:40.560 --> 01:31:43.239 working on it? Yeah? I can't imagine. 1986 01:31:43.479 --> 01:31:46.640 Yeah, it seems like a Kurbel Space Kerbal Space Program 1987 01:31:46.680 --> 01:31:49.880 two situation, right, like the sequel to the super acclaimed thing, 1988 01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:52.039 and now there's like this other big company involved in 1989 01:31:52.039 --> 01:31:54.199 publishing it, and uh, yeah. 1990 01:31:54.119 --> 01:31:57.039 This doesn't really quite work this time. I don't know. Yep. 1991 01:31:58.039 --> 01:32:01.399 I will see how that shakes out. Two hundred and 1992 01:32:01.399 --> 01:32:04.279 twenty Rockstar North staff have signed a letter demanding their 1993 01:32:04.319 --> 01:32:08.720 fired colleagues are immediately reinstated or should be immediately reinstated. 1994 01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:11.479 More than two hundred current employees at Rockstar North have 1995 01:32:11.560 --> 01:32:15.119 sent a letter to senior management demanding the immediate reinstatement 1996 01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:17.640 of thirty one colleagues who were recently fired across the 1997 01:32:17.720 --> 01:32:21.359 UK and Canada offices. Rockstar claims the employees were dismissed 1998 01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:25.159 for quote gross misconduct related to leaking company secrets in 1999 01:32:25.159 --> 01:32:28.800 a public forum. However, the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain, 2000 01:32:28.880 --> 01:32:32.439 the IWGB, allegis to firings were an act of victimization 2001 01:32:32.600 --> 01:32:35.880 and collective dismissal linked to trade union activity, as the 2002 01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:38.199 fired staff were part of a union channel and attempting 2003 01:32:38.239 --> 01:32:40.520 to organize. That's the forum in which they were sharing 2004 01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:42.960 information about their work, and they were not necessarily sharing 2005 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:45.760 details about who you're going to play as in GTA 2006 01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:49.760 six or whatever or anything like that. They planned protest 2007 01:32:49.880 --> 01:32:51.479 all the stuff, and now they continue to try to 2008 01:32:51.479 --> 01:32:56.239 push back against Rockstar and Rockstars not doing a very 2009 01:32:56.239 --> 01:32:59.199 good job of sort of avoiding the allegations here that 2010 01:32:59.239 --> 01:33:03.359 they did this too, you shut down unionization. And again 2011 01:33:03.399 --> 01:33:05.479 it's like, I wonder if they asked chat GPT what 2012 01:33:05.479 --> 01:33:07.720 they should have done here, I would be surprised. 2013 01:33:07.880 --> 01:33:11.039 Hey, I this isn't me trying to be a country. 2014 01:33:11.640 --> 01:33:16.159 But I don't fucking care about GTA six. Yeah, I 2015 01:33:16.319 --> 01:33:19.720 more so care about like the people that are working 2016 01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:22.760 obscene hours and making sure that they have a life 2017 01:33:22.920 --> 01:33:27.479 and everything. So it really sucks that rock Stars uh 2018 01:33:27.800 --> 01:33:30.039 totally tried the union bust and they're trying to skirt 2019 01:33:30.039 --> 01:33:33.680 around it. I would even say that maybe them announcing 2020 01:33:33.720 --> 01:33:37.279 GTA six's delay is just trying to get uh past 2021 01:33:37.439 --> 01:33:43.079 any of the union busting allegations. But I hopefully folks 2022 01:33:43.600 --> 01:33:46.359 at the studio and people do not let them slide 2023 01:33:46.359 --> 01:33:46.840 for this one. 2024 01:33:47.680 --> 01:33:51.800 Yeah, it's frustrating because sure they could maybe reinstate these 2025 01:33:51.840 --> 01:33:54.479 people and mitigate the damage that has been done here. 2026 01:33:54.800 --> 01:33:57.520 But this is a company that can withstand just about 2027 01:33:57.520 --> 01:34:00.479 any amount of damage, Like they could pay like they 2028 01:34:00.600 --> 01:34:02.640 lose a court case, which is just like this is 2029 01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:04.520 likely to go to court. They could lose a court 2030 01:34:04.560 --> 01:34:07.800 case and be ordered by a court to pay hundreds 2031 01:34:07.800 --> 01:34:10.159 of millions of dollars and they could afford to do that. 2032 01:34:10.239 --> 01:34:12.279 It probably won't be that much because Rockstar is going 2033 01:34:12.319 --> 01:34:13.800 to have really good lawyers. They'll be able to keep 2034 01:34:13.840 --> 01:34:17.279 that damn those damages down potentially, but who knows, or 2035 01:34:17.319 --> 01:34:19.720 they might be able to run the clock out and settle. 2036 01:34:19.760 --> 01:34:22.239 That's probably what they'll end up doing here and find 2037 01:34:22.279 --> 01:34:24.800 a number that they're okay with and it won't hurt 2038 01:34:24.840 --> 01:34:26.600 because this is they're talking about a game that will 2039 01:34:26.640 --> 01:34:29.880 be an endless money printing factory, and they factor that 2040 01:34:29.920 --> 01:34:34.319 into their decision making process. Here. It's just you know, 2041 01:34:34.560 --> 01:34:37.159 you're right. All this for how I feel, I feel 2042 01:34:37.159 --> 01:34:38.920 pretty similar with a jammer. It's like all this for 2043 01:34:39.159 --> 01:34:43.039 grand theft Auto. It's just not worth it. Near director 2044 01:34:43.119 --> 01:34:45.960 Yoko Taro assures players he's been working on projects, but 2045 01:34:46.039 --> 01:34:50.000 they keep getting canceled. This is Near director Yoko Taro 2046 01:34:50.159 --> 01:34:53.520 said during Gcon twenty twenty five, which is a conference, 2047 01:34:53.560 --> 01:34:56.279 that he has been working on numerous projects in recent years, 2048 01:34:56.520 --> 01:34:59.000 but none have been released because they keep getting canceled 2049 01:34:59.119 --> 01:35:02.119 during development. He addressed comments from people wondering why he 2050 01:35:02.159 --> 01:35:05.079 hasn't made a near sequel or why he seems inactive, 2051 01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:07.479 explaining that while he gets paid for the work, the 2052 01:35:07.600 --> 01:35:10.199 lack of release released output makes it appear as though 2053 01:35:10.199 --> 01:35:13.600 he hasn't been working. Yokotaro stated that he doesn't mind 2054 01:35:13.600 --> 01:35:16.159 the cancelations cancelations, preferring not to release a game that 2055 01:35:16.239 --> 01:35:18.760 isn't up to his standards. This comes after a twenty 2056 01:35:18.800 --> 01:35:22.039 twenty three event where he and near producer Yosuke Yo 2057 01:35:22.119 --> 01:35:25.600 Yosuke Syto mentioned working on a non near project they 2058 01:35:25.600 --> 01:35:28.199 hope to discuss in twenty twenty four, a discussion that 2059 01:35:28.279 --> 01:35:32.840 never happened. Yeah, you know, we've heard like scoring its 2060 01:35:32.920 --> 01:35:36.920 kind of like reorganizing stuff constantly and shuffling things up, 2061 01:35:36.920 --> 01:35:38.520 and like, hey, we're not gonna worry about a lot 2062 01:35:38.560 --> 01:35:40.399 of these other projects. We're just gonna worry about our 2063 01:35:40.479 --> 01:35:43.359 core stuff. I wonder if if his game's got caught 2064 01:35:43.399 --> 01:35:45.960 up in that. Yeah, yeah maybe. 2065 01:35:46.039 --> 01:35:49.119 I mean, you know, he had that mobile game thing. 2066 01:35:49.239 --> 01:35:52.359 He didn't come out Voice of Cards or something that 2067 01:35:52.439 --> 01:35:55.720 was a near game, right, that was near or near adjacent. 2068 01:35:56.439 --> 01:35:56.640 Yeah. 2069 01:35:56.640 --> 01:35:59.920 I never really quite understood what the heck that thing. Oh, 2070 01:36:00.000 --> 01:36:02.640 the List of Cards was just like a card game. 2071 01:36:02.760 --> 01:36:04.239 I don't think he was separating. 2072 01:36:04.359 --> 01:36:06.600 Yeah, okay, you know he was a director on that, 2073 01:36:06.680 --> 01:36:10.239 so he was like, you know, working on on that thing. 2074 01:36:11.359 --> 01:36:13.279 So yeah, maybe some other projects like look, I don't 2075 01:36:13.279 --> 01:36:15.760 think any of these projects that were canceled where near 2076 01:36:15.880 --> 01:36:18.079 Autumata too, Right, they would. 2077 01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:20.840 Let that one go, you would think, Yeah, you would. 2078 01:36:20.840 --> 01:36:22.199 They put a lot of effort into it, and they'd 2079 01:36:22.560 --> 01:36:25.840 keep re releasing those games and uh investing in them. 2080 01:36:25.880 --> 01:36:28.640 And it seems like that franchises at APEX, so you 2081 01:36:28.720 --> 01:36:30.720 might you want to cash in on that. That's right. 2082 01:36:30.760 --> 01:36:32.680 There's also Near Reincarnation. 2083 01:36:32.920 --> 01:36:34.720 Was it was a near mobile game? Yeah. 2084 01:36:34.920 --> 01:36:36.880 Yeah, there's a couple of mobile things he's done since 2085 01:36:37.399 --> 01:36:39.439 Near Tompton, which gosh was all the way back in 2086 01:36:39.479 --> 01:36:43.399 twenty seventeen, near Automata. So yeah, maybe that's like the 2087 01:36:43.399 --> 01:36:45.920 surprising thing is that we haven't really had the sequel. 2088 01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:49.640 There was the Near one remake, Near Replicants, so you 2089 01:36:49.640 --> 01:36:51.640 know there has been things happening. I think that's what 2090 01:36:51.640 --> 01:36:54.640 this really is everybody is sort of wondering where Near 2091 01:36:55.000 --> 01:36:58.720 Automata two is, and you know, I wonder if was 2092 01:36:58.760 --> 01:37:00.840 to make that game. I mean I talked to him 2093 01:37:01.399 --> 01:37:03.640 not that long after the first year of Tominson, Like, 2094 01:37:03.760 --> 01:37:06.239 I was like, hey, do you feel pressure to like 2095 01:37:06.560 --> 01:37:08.920 just make a kind of traditional sequel because this game 2096 01:37:08.960 --> 01:37:10.960 is so big and I bet people are gonna just 2097 01:37:11.000 --> 01:37:14.960 want more to be And he's like a hilariously unserious person, 2098 01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:15.960 which makes him so fun. 2099 01:37:16.000 --> 01:37:17.640 Like what he told me is like, yeah, I'll make 2100 01:37:17.640 --> 01:37:19.000 a game of two b in it, but maybe she'll 2101 01:37:19.039 --> 01:37:22.000 be a bug now I don't know. I'm like, yeah, 2102 01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:22.520 that's great. 2103 01:37:23.520 --> 01:37:24.600 So you know, part of me is like is they're 2104 01:37:24.640 --> 01:37:26.880 like weird like pushback where like he doesn't necessarily want 2105 01:37:26.920 --> 01:37:28.960 to make that game that's all Square Enix wants him 2106 01:37:29.000 --> 01:37:31.800 to make, or things relatively chill, and again he's kind 2107 01:37:31.800 --> 01:37:33.960 of being a bit goofy and unseerious about it. It's 2108 01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:36.399 hard to get a total read on the situation. But 2109 01:37:36.760 --> 01:37:38.439 I think he's fantastic, and I think he should be 2110 01:37:38.479 --> 01:37:40.119 allowed to do whatever he wants. 2111 01:37:40.399 --> 01:37:42.439 Yep, exactly, he should be kind of in a blank 2112 01:37:42.520 --> 01:37:45.840 check scenario. He's kind of only raised his profile and 2113 01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:47.760 his games are only doing better and better as time 2114 01:37:47.840 --> 01:37:49.640 goes on, and he's been making games for a long 2115 01:37:49.680 --> 01:37:51.640 time now, so yeah, I would kind of want to 2116 01:37:51.640 --> 01:37:55.159 see what he can keep doing. Xbox announced a partner 2117 01:37:55.159 --> 01:37:58.359 preview showcase for What Is It Thursday November twenty at 2118 01:37:58.359 --> 01:38:02.720 ten am Pacific time one pm Eastern.

Chersoft also has a big 2123 01:38:15.560 --> 01:38:19.319 twenty twenty six in the works. Supposedly they should have 2124 01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:22.960 Forts Horizon six, Gears of War, E Day, Halo Campaign Evolved, 2125 01:38:22.960 --> 01:38:27.239 and maybe Fable if that's real. Still, so, they have 2126 01:38:27.279 --> 01:38:29.840 their first party stuff happening over here. They have partner 2127 01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:32.880 stuff happening with this show, and they did pretty well 2128 01:38:32.920 --> 01:38:36.119 with partner stuff in twenty twenty five, I mean Expedition 2129 01:38:36.239 --> 01:38:39.680 thirty three was a game Pass game, and there was 2130 01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:42.359 several examples of a kind of similar big games beginning 2131 01:38:42.439 --> 01:38:46.920 games Silk Song exactly, So they seem like they're trying 2132 01:38:46.920 --> 01:38:49.840 to kind of maintain that going into next year.

Yeah, 2139 01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:09.199 I kind of want to see some new exciting things. 2140 01:39:09.199 --> 01:39:11.279 There will be nice if they had another expedition thirty 2141 01:39:11.319 --> 01:39:13.479 three ready to go, not you know, literally a sequel, 2142 01:39:13.520 --> 01:39:15.720 but this kind of like, oh, this game that looks 2143 01:39:15.760 --> 01:39:18.119 kind of smaller, maybe we're not sure how it's going 2144 01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:20.079 to be, and then it's a giant head in terms 2145 01:39:20.079 --> 01:39:22.199 of be a big deal. I don't know if they 2146 01:39:22.199 --> 01:39:24.800 have one of those, but hopefully they have some nice surprises. 2147 01:39:25.439 --> 01:39:25.680 Yep. 2148 01:39:26.359 --> 01:39:31.600 I don't have any expectations for whatever fable cool, let's 2149 01:39:31.600 --> 01:39:31.920 do it. 2150 01:39:32.840 --> 01:39:37.439 I think for this partner showcase that they will probably 2151 01:39:37.479 --> 01:39:42.279 continue to have some token support from Japanese publishers that 2152 01:39:42.319 --> 01:39:46.520 they have been manufactured through like strong efforts to make 2153 01:39:46.560 --> 01:39:49.039 that happen. Squarre Enix will probably be there, Sega will 2154 01:39:49.079 --> 01:39:49.680 probably be there. 2155 01:39:49.760 --> 01:39:53.439 Didn't We see a lot more of Metaphor through Xbox 2156 01:39:53.520 --> 01:39:55.239 partner showcases than anyone else. 2157 01:39:55.680 --> 01:39:59.800 Yes, Metaphor was like a strong partnership between that was 2158 01:39:59.800 --> 01:40:03.279 saying great Sega and Xbox Sega an Xbox are They're 2159 01:40:03.279 --> 01:40:05.279 still thicke thickest theeves. So yeah, I think we'll see 2160 01:40:05.279 --> 01:40:06.119 them show up here as well. 2161 01:40:06.199 --> 01:40:08.359 Maybe this is where we get Persona six mic Yeah, 2162 01:40:08.439 --> 01:40:10.199 probably not maybe probably. I don't even if we see 2163 01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:13.960 more Persona four whatever that's called. Maybe another yak is 2164 01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:14.680 a spin off. 2165 01:40:16.239 --> 01:40:19.720 Uh yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Okay, let's see here. 2166 01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:22.039 More players in the UK, US, and Japan still prefer 2167 01:40:22.119 --> 01:40:25.319 single player games to multiplayer Survey fines. A new survey 2168 01:40:25.319 --> 01:40:29.680 from from Ampeer Analysis says that they talked to thirty 2169 01:40:29.680 --> 01:40:32.199 four thousand players across twenty two markets and found a 2170 01:40:32.199 --> 01:40:34.399 majority of players in the UK, Japan, and the United 2171 01:40:34.439 --> 01:40:37.680 States that's fifty eight percent, sixty three percent, and sixty 2172 01:40:37.720 --> 01:40:41.960 five percent respectively, still prefers single prefer single player games 2173 01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:45.760 over multiplayer ones. Preference for single player games generally increase, 2174 01:40:45.840 --> 01:40:48.920 with age, rising from forty nine percent among sixteen to 2175 01:40:48.960 --> 01:40:51.800 twenty four year olds to sixty four percent for the 2176 01:40:51.880 --> 01:40:53.279 Decrepit fifty five decision. 2177 01:40:53.319 --> 01:40:55.680 Oh, decrepit is a fucking choice. 2178 01:40:55.680 --> 01:40:58.560 And that's that's just, that's just where are outside of 2179 01:40:58.560 --> 01:41:02.279 that demo? You're fine, exactly give us some time. Yeah, listen, 2180 01:41:02.439 --> 01:41:04.600 once I'm there, it won't be decrepit, right, it'll be fresh. 2181 01:41:04.640 --> 01:41:08.039 But chill, then it'll be the fresh fifty five. The 2182 01:41:08.119 --> 01:41:10.720 findings to reaffirm the viability of single player games. Despite 2183 01:41:11.000 --> 01:41:14.319 the market's focus on live service blah blah blah. Yeah, 2184 01:41:14.439 --> 01:41:17.840 live service games, multiplayer games still tend to actually sell better, 2185 01:41:17.920 --> 01:41:21.439 make more money. But I do think that these companies 2186 01:41:21.439 --> 01:41:23.199 should always kind of keep in mind that there is 2187 01:41:23.239 --> 01:41:26.000 like this solid foundational base of people who like single 2188 01:41:26.000 --> 01:41:29.479 player games. Do you guys think that the trend of like, oh, 2189 01:41:29.520 --> 01:41:33.119 older gamers prefer single player games, younger younger players don't. 2190 01:41:33.239 --> 01:41:34.600 It's the kind of thing where it's like, oh, as 2191 01:41:34.640 --> 01:41:38.079 those younger players become older, they will begin to prefer 2192 01:41:38.119 --> 01:41:41.399 single player games, or they will just change the dynamics 2193 01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:44.199 and or single player games will become less popular. 2194 01:41:45.600 --> 01:41:47.880 You're probably playing the stuff you grew up with and 2195 01:41:47.880 --> 01:41:49.880 have an affinity for, like you know, for a lot 2196 01:41:49.920 --> 01:41:52.680 of you know, old any s and superintendent of single 2197 01:41:52.680 --> 01:41:55.119 player games, and if I grew up with fucking roadblocks 2198 01:41:55.159 --> 01:41:58.640 and Fortnite and the sports and stuff, but probably look, well, 2199 01:41:58.720 --> 01:41:58.880 you know. 2200 01:41:59.640 --> 01:42:03.119 I think I think may may be lost on us. 2201 01:42:03.279 --> 01:42:05.119 Is that a lot of For a lot of these 2202 01:42:05.159 --> 01:42:10.279 younger gamers, this is their form of communication with their friends, right, 2203 01:42:10.319 --> 01:42:14.279 this is how they gather socially, especially like going through 2204 01:42:14.279 --> 01:42:17.760 the pandemic roadblocks Fortnite to blow up. 2205 01:42:18.520 --> 01:42:20.720 That's the upside then, so like as they become older 2206 01:42:20.760 --> 01:42:24.640 and more insular and less social, right and grumpy, then 2207 01:42:24.640 --> 01:42:26.720 that's when we get them. That's when that's when we'll 2208 01:42:26.720 --> 01:42:26.960 get them. 2209 01:42:27.000 --> 01:42:30.560 Once the sad we were talking during the break that 2210 01:42:30.720 --> 01:42:34.079 like young young millennials and gen z are figuring out 2211 01:42:34.159 --> 01:42:37.039 sit in a bar September because the apps aren't working. 2212 01:42:37.479 --> 01:42:39.640 Sooner or later they won't be able to talk through 2213 01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:41.640 roadblocks a Fortnite, so they're gonna have to go out 2214 01:42:41.640 --> 01:42:45.239 to I don't know, a gym or a mess hall, 2215 01:42:45.560 --> 01:42:46.760 a clarity center. 2216 01:42:47.439 --> 01:42:50.359 Yeah, my kids still play a lot of Minecraft, specifically 2217 01:42:50.399 --> 01:42:52.279 that's still the big one. They try some other stuff 2218 01:42:52.279 --> 01:42:53.640 here there, but Minecraft still number two. 2219 01:42:53.640 --> 01:42:55.319 We're kids that do sit in a bar September. 2220 01:42:55.840 --> 01:42:58.560 I listen, God, I would love that they need to 2221 01:42:58.560 --> 01:43:03.840 get out of the house. God just go come, six 2222 01:43:03.920 --> 01:43:07.439 year old. Fuck. I do like it was like a 2223 01:43:07.479 --> 01:43:09.720 casual back matching, Like there is a chance like one 2224 01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:11.800 day this will be the last time they like they 2225 01:43:11.840 --> 01:43:13.920 ever play Minecraft or something like that, because they could 2226 01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:17.119 just at any point, like lose their interest. That seems 2227 01:43:17.199 --> 01:43:19.680 less and less likely as they like it's becoming more 2228 01:43:19.720 --> 01:43:21.960 and more part of their personality. Uh So, yeah, I 2229 01:43:22.159 --> 01:43:23.840 do think they are going to reach a point either 2230 01:43:23.880 --> 01:43:26.880 where they put it away forever or Minecraft is with 2231 01:43:27.039 --> 01:43:29.600 them forever and they just kind of are always going 2232 01:43:29.640 --> 01:43:31.119 back to it. But I don't know, I'll see which 2233 01:43:31.159 --> 01:43:31.640 way they break. 2234 01:43:31.920 --> 01:43:36.479 I could see that with some trends with with gamers, 2235 01:43:36.520 --> 01:43:42.079 where specifically on the single player part, where there's a 2236 01:43:42.119 --> 01:43:44.840 whole generation of gamers younger than us and I believe 2237 01:43:44.840 --> 01:43:49.880 younger than Sean even that grew up watching streamers play 2238 01:43:50.039 --> 01:43:52.640 like single player games. So like there is a whole 2239 01:43:53.000 --> 01:43:56.279 subset of this audience that is obsessed with stuff like 2240 01:43:56.319 --> 01:43:59.319 Five Nights, right, Yeah, there's a reason why, like now 2241 01:43:59.319 --> 01:44:02.119 they sell those while she's at target, why those movies 2242 01:44:02.159 --> 01:44:06.640 do okay enough? So I'm interested to see where, like 2243 01:44:06.680 --> 01:44:09.680 that subset of gamers that are younger a skew younger, 2244 01:44:10.479 --> 01:44:14.720 if they are interested at all in staying up to 2245 01:44:14.800 --> 01:44:17.279 date with like single player games, because I also don't 2246 01:44:17.279 --> 01:44:20.840 see that audience translating into like the triple A single 2247 01:44:20.840 --> 01:44:23.680 player experiences that like PlayStation would be presenting us a 2248 01:44:23.680 --> 01:44:24.439 couple of years ago. 2249 01:44:25.600 --> 01:44:30.640 Yeah, I think it's gonna be interesting as these these 2250 01:44:31.039 --> 01:44:36.039 dynamic shifts do happen or the Yeah, demographic shifts is 2251 01:44:36.039 --> 01:44:38.439 what I'm trying to say. Demographic demographic shifts happen. And 2252 01:44:38.640 --> 01:44:41.000 these companies are like already so risk averse, so when 2253 01:44:41.039 --> 01:44:43.640 they try something and if things shift underneath them, I 2254 01:44:43.640 --> 01:44:45.560 don't think they'll be like, oh, here's what we learned. 2255 01:44:45.720 --> 01:44:48.039 The only thing they'll learn is we're afraid to make 2256 01:44:48.079 --> 01:44:49.960 any kind of game, which is kind of just how 2257 01:44:49.960 --> 01:44:52.159 I feel about like all those conversations we were having 2258 01:44:52.199 --> 01:44:54.920 earlier about all these companies using chat shept to have 2259 01:44:54.960 --> 01:44:57.399 conversations about how not to pay people and firing people 2260 01:44:57.399 --> 01:45:00.119 who are trying to unionize, they just seem afraid of everything. 2261 01:45:00.199 --> 01:45:05.439 So this little tidbit of information here, while it's certainly 2262 01:45:05.439 --> 01:45:07.039 reassuring to me, like, oh, there's still a lot of 2263 01:45:07.039 --> 01:45:09.439 people out there who are pretty similar to my style 2264 01:45:09.479 --> 01:45:11.880 of playing games, I don't think that gets through to 2265 01:45:11.960 --> 01:45:13.920 a lot of executives at these companies because they know 2266 01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:15.640 that and they're like, well, yeah, we're already relying on 2267 01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:18.359 you to buy our slop. Well, we don't care about you. 2268 01:45:18.399 --> 01:45:23.439 We're looking for growth, and that happens elsewhere, and that's frustrating. Okay. 2269 01:45:23.520 --> 01:45:26.960 Capcom says it's confident Resident Evil Requiem won't suffer from 2270 01:45:27.000 --> 01:45:31.520 Monster Hunter's Wild's style PC performance issues. Capcom has stated 2271 01:45:31.840 --> 01:45:34.560 it does not expect its upcoming game, Requiem, to have 2272 01:45:34.640 --> 01:45:37.520 the same PC performance issues as Wilds, despite both games 2273 01:45:37.600 --> 01:45:41.039 using the RI engine. The company attributes this to differences 2274 01:45:41.079 --> 01:45:45.399 in Requiem's gameplay system, architecture, and network features, assuring a 2275 01:45:45.439 --> 01:45:48.840 smooth experience across various PC specs. The game is set 2276 01:45:48.840 --> 01:45:52.279 to release on February twenty seventh on PS five, Xbox 2277 01:45:52.279 --> 01:45:55.640 Series X and S, Nintendo Switch To and PC. The 2278 01:45:55.680 --> 01:45:58.600 director also noted that porting Requiem To Nintendo switch To 2279 01:45:58.720 --> 01:46:01.359 went more smoothly than Anti due to the game's highly 2280 01:46:01.399 --> 01:46:04.800 scalable development. That's a that's probably actually a good sign. 2281 01:46:05.039 --> 01:46:07.960 It's running on switched To. You would hope it it's 2282 01:46:08.000 --> 01:46:11.439 going just inherently run better than wild Yeah, they had 2283 01:46:11.479 --> 01:46:14.399 to learn this lesson though, right, Yeah, I mean that's great. 2284 01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:16.960 I kind of hope they can go make Wilds and 2285 01:46:17.000 --> 01:46:20.000 even I don't know how Dragon's Dogma two is working 2286 01:46:20.039 --> 01:46:22.399 these days, but I hope it'd be nice if both 2287 01:46:22.439 --> 01:46:24.920 of those were doing really well on PC, which I 2288 01:46:24.920 --> 01:46:25.920 don't think is the case. 2289 01:46:26.920 --> 01:46:28.840 Yeah, I I you know, I get the sense that 2290 01:46:28.880 --> 01:46:31.399 they are going to put out their updates for Wilds 2291 01:46:31.520 --> 01:46:34.479 and they will fix the real problems with with Monster 2292 01:46:34.560 --> 01:46:35.960 Hunter and the next Monster Hunter. 2293 01:46:36.039 --> 01:46:38.479 But there's gonna be an expansion for Wilds, and I 2294 01:46:38.479 --> 01:46:41.960 wonder what I'm saying. I wonder what that's like. 2295 01:46:42.640 --> 01:46:45.800 Yep. It just feels like, man, if they could have 2296 01:46:45.880 --> 01:46:47.600 fixed it, it would have done it by now. It's 2297 01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:49.920 been almost a whole year. I guess it's been three 2298 01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:51.359 quarters of a year, but I don't know. 2299 01:46:51.359 --> 01:46:55.199 It feels like that feels like forever there's a game 2300 01:46:55.199 --> 01:46:56.960 that wasn't nominated for Game of the Year. 2301 01:46:57.079 --> 01:47:01.359 Huh much actually grated Games of the Year and it 2302 01:47:01.479 --> 01:47:02.359 was not nominated. 2303 01:47:02.880 --> 01:47:06.319 Yeah, that's no. I'm like wondering to did get nominated 2304 01:47:06.359 --> 01:47:07.239 for anything? 2305 01:47:08.640 --> 01:47:09.800 I've been mold somewhere. 2306 01:47:09.960 --> 01:47:10.039 No. 2307 01:47:10.119 --> 01:47:10.960 I don't think it would have. 2308 01:47:10.840 --> 01:47:17.199 Gone Best RPG and oh that's it. I think just 2309 01:47:17.239 --> 01:47:21.640 the best Well, not going to win that category, probably not. 2310 01:47:22.119 --> 01:47:22.239 Uh. 2311 01:47:22.640 --> 01:47:27.199 Ubisoft postpones earnings call and halts trading with little explanation. Uh, 2312 01:47:27.479 --> 01:47:30.600 this is a a strange one. Uh. They like a 2313 01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:32.600 half an hour maybe it was a little bit longer 2314 01:47:32.640 --> 01:47:35.479 than that. Before their earnings call was supposed to happen 2315 01:47:35.600 --> 01:47:38.159 last week for the first half of their fiscal year. 2316 01:47:38.560 --> 01:47:41.680 Up like, oh, hey, we are not going to do that, 2317 01:47:42.159 --> 01:47:45.319 and we are asking the the the indexes on which 2318 01:47:45.319 --> 01:47:49.880 we trade to halt any trades involving our stock to 2319 01:47:49.960 --> 01:47:53.880 avoid any problems. This happens for a variety of reasons. 2320 01:47:54.279 --> 01:47:57.319 It doesn't happen very often and video games. I can't 2321 01:47:57.359 --> 01:47:59.199 remember the last time it happened. There was one company 2322 01:47:59.239 --> 01:48:04.680 that's done it before. The speculation here immediately is oh 2323 01:48:04.760 --> 01:48:08.880 Ubisoft's being acquired, and that does seem like the likeliest scenario. 2324 01:48:08.920 --> 01:48:12.560 There's also the possibility that they just legitimately fucked up 2325 01:48:12.560 --> 01:48:14.640 the math and they could not report what they had 2326 01:48:14.640 --> 01:48:17.119 in their books because that would be illegal. So they're like, 2327 01:48:17.159 --> 01:48:20.279 there's always that possibility and we'll find out. But this 2328 01:48:20.399 --> 01:48:23.079 is a company that's already been shifting around and like 2329 01:48:23.159 --> 01:48:25.520 selling off parts of it and creating new entities to 2330 01:48:25.560 --> 01:48:28.479 do with ten Cent. And I would imagine maybe ten 2331 01:48:28.520 --> 01:48:30.680 Cent's going to step in and just buy the rest 2332 01:48:30.920 --> 01:48:33.399 or if they're not, maybe the Saudi's I don't know, 2333 01:48:34.000 --> 01:48:36.960 but there is it's worth reminding people there is the 2334 01:48:37.039 --> 01:48:41.239 new version of Ubisoft that has a Rainbow six, far 2335 01:48:41.359 --> 01:48:44.239 Cry and Assassin's Creed, and that's their focus, and that's 2336 01:48:44.279 --> 01:48:46.720 like the real thing that they're actually investing in and 2337 01:48:46.760 --> 01:48:48.840 working with Tencent on. And that's the part that the 2338 01:48:48.880 --> 01:48:51.800 Gimo family like wormed their way into still being in 2339 01:48:51.880 --> 01:48:54.399 charge of. And then there is the rest of you 2340 01:48:54.479 --> 01:48:58.119 besoft that got left behind, where you'll find your splinter 2341 01:48:58.279 --> 01:49:01.840 Cell remakes and beyond it an evil too, you know, 2342 01:49:02.159 --> 01:49:04.960 fucking fairy tales, h and all these things that that 2343 01:49:05.279 --> 01:49:07.279 you know don't feel real and don't feel like they 2344 01:49:07.279 --> 01:49:10.199 were ever getting the love they needed, and something's gonna 2345 01:49:10.239 --> 01:49:13.159 happen with that part of it now maybe we we 2346 01:49:13.239 --> 01:49:16.359 really don't know yet though. I mean it's like, what 2347 01:49:16.399 --> 01:49:17.279 do you expect to happen? 2348 01:49:17.359 --> 01:49:17.479 Right? 2349 01:49:17.560 --> 01:49:20.680 So they got bought up by ten Center the Saudi's right, Like, 2350 01:49:21.039 --> 01:49:24.079 that's what you're kind of waiting to see happen here, 2351 01:49:24.119 --> 01:49:26.279 But uh, could just be a math thing. 2352 01:49:26.560 --> 01:49:27.000 Who knows. 2353 01:49:27.000 --> 01:49:29.359 It seems like you've been waiting for it seems likely 2354 01:49:29.479 --> 01:49:31.399 been waiting for like the big dramatic thing to happen 2355 01:49:31.439 --> 01:49:33.800 to we saw forever it's always been these kind of 2356 01:49:33.840 --> 01:49:37.439 weird quarter measures are half measures, right, yep. 2357 01:49:37.359 --> 01:49:40.680 Weird maneuvering by that family that controls it to like 2358 01:49:40.760 --> 01:49:43.279 keep themselves in charge. And that's why it always feels strange. 2359 01:49:43.479 --> 01:49:45.520 Ugan. 2360 01:49:45.560 --> 01:49:47.279 This happened last week. We still haven't had any update 2361 01:49:47.319 --> 01:49:51.520 on this from one family to another. Huh, that's that 2362 01:49:51.600 --> 01:49:54.680 seems to be the case. Yes, Well, if there is 2363 01:49:54.680 --> 01:49:56.920 any updates there, we'll talk about probably on game this Morning's. 2364 01:49:57.159 --> 01:50:00.520 Hopefully this week we get an answer to that. U Hey. 2365 01:50:00.840 --> 01:50:05.000 Last week, since the BombCast happened, Valve revealed new hardware controller, 2366 01:50:05.039 --> 01:50:08.680 a compat gaming PC and VR ready headset. The Steam controller. 2367 01:50:08.880 --> 01:50:11.159 It's an updated version of the last Steam controller now 2368 01:50:11.159 --> 01:50:14.760 that has analog sticks. Hooray. The Steam machine is back. 2369 01:50:14.840 --> 01:50:17.239 It's running Steam OS, but now the new and improved 2370 01:50:17.239 --> 01:50:20.520 Steam OS that has really great support for Windows based games. 2371 01:50:21.239 --> 01:50:24.560 It's six times more powerful than a Steam Deck and 2372 01:50:24.600 --> 01:50:27.960 it's very tiny and cute and cool. Has sixteen gigabytes 2373 01:50:27.960 --> 01:50:30.159 of RAM, eight gigabytes of v RAM. People are worried 2374 01:50:30.159 --> 01:50:32.399 about that. It seems like it might not actually be 2375 01:50:32.479 --> 01:50:34.319 much of a problem though they have a lot of 2376 01:50:34.720 --> 01:50:36.960 custom tech in there to help with that. And then 2377 01:50:37.000 --> 01:50:40.840 the Steam frame, the standalone VR headset that has a 2378 01:50:40.880 --> 01:50:44.199 snap Dragon mobile processor also running Steam OS. There's a 2379 01:50:44.199 --> 01:50:46.800 lot of implications there of like ooh, Steam OS on 2380 01:50:47.000 --> 01:50:49.479 mobile devices going forward, the next Steam deck might be 2381 01:50:49.479 --> 01:50:51.880 a mobile processor. That could be interesting. Probably won't be 2382 01:50:52.159 --> 01:50:56.760 could be though, cool tech like fhoviiated streaming, so like 2383 01:50:56.800 --> 01:50:59.920 they'll just beam the part of the game from your 2384 01:51:00.079 --> 01:51:03.119 PC across the internet just right into your phobia and 2385 01:51:03.159 --> 01:51:06.760 your eye, which is where you actually see the most 2386 01:51:06.840 --> 01:51:09.840 with the highest visual acuity. That sort of thing. So 2387 01:51:10.720 --> 01:51:13.359 a lot of cool stuff here, Dan Jan, you guys 2388 01:51:13.399 --> 01:51:14.800 got to see it. You guys have talked about in 2389 01:51:14.840 --> 01:51:17.279 a bunch of places. That video is excellent, people really 2390 01:51:17.399 --> 01:51:19.880 happy with it. But many things that you guys have 2391 01:51:19.920 --> 01:51:21.720 been thinking about since you got a chance to go 2392 01:51:21.760 --> 01:51:22.880 hands on with so much of it. 2393 01:51:23.000 --> 01:51:24.920 I think I've been thinking about a lot lately. 2394 01:51:25.199 --> 01:51:28.880 Is just like in terms of the current OS's that 2395 01:51:28.920 --> 01:51:32.479 we have, you know, like we've all just gotten accustomed to, like, Okay, 2396 01:51:32.479 --> 01:51:34.399 this is o PS five works, and so this works. 2397 01:51:34.399 --> 01:51:36.119 You know, it's like, oh, the switch one's pretty clean, 2398 01:51:36.159 --> 01:51:38.239 but it's pretty basic. Don't have a lot of flexibility here, 2399 01:51:38.720 --> 01:51:41.119 and especially as I've like I keep playing things on 2400 01:51:41.159 --> 01:51:43.600 that rock Xbox ally x where it's okay once I 2401 01:51:43.680 --> 01:51:45.600 get a game running, I like how powerful this is, 2402 01:51:45.640 --> 01:51:49.159 but for free things surrounding launching a game or configuring 2403 01:51:49.159 --> 01:51:52.039 anything is a nightmare. It's like, I am so appreciative 2404 01:51:52.079 --> 01:51:54.039 of just that. It's them os. It is just so 2405 01:51:54.239 --> 01:51:56.600 fucking clean. It's got everything you need, and now you're 2406 01:51:56.600 --> 01:51:59.840 gonna have all these different devices that all operate under 2407 01:51:59.880 --> 01:52:03.159 that US with the seamless cloud saves and everything, like 2408 01:52:03.199 --> 01:52:06.119 you know, the the larger thoughts on these devices and everything. 2409 01:52:06.159 --> 01:52:08.319 Please, like, like reb said, check out our video. 2410 01:52:08.159 --> 01:52:13.000 On YouTube, just or giant bomb valve machine. I'm so 2411 01:52:13.039 --> 01:52:15.479 excited about these things I do. So the controller, I 2412 01:52:15.479 --> 01:52:17.039 think there's gonna be a bit of a like I 2413 01:52:17.079 --> 01:52:19.399 don't learning curve probably isn't. There's just gonna be an 2414 01:52:19.399 --> 01:52:21.319 adjustment period, I think, be cause like there are still 2415 01:52:21.359 --> 01:52:24.479 things that I didn't quite understand the use for, like 2416 01:52:24.560 --> 01:52:27.279 the the grips, where it's like, okay, if you grip 2417 01:52:27.319 --> 01:52:30.039 it tightly, it turns on kind of the gyroscope aiming, 2418 01:52:30.079 --> 01:52:31.840 but if you hold it loosely, Like the idea of 2419 01:52:31.880 --> 01:52:34.439 like holding a controller tight or loose is like any 2420 01:52:34.600 --> 01:52:35.479 thing to me, you know. 2421 01:52:35.800 --> 01:52:38.399 And that like I had someone explain to me, and 2422 01:52:38.439 --> 01:52:39.640 I'm like, I don't know if I've ever used it 2423 01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:41.760 this way, but like you know, you will grip it 2424 01:52:41.760 --> 01:52:44.359 tight when you want to be actually using the gyroscope ame. 2425 01:52:44.359 --> 01:52:46.560 But then maybe you like let go to recenter it 2426 01:52:46.960 --> 01:52:48.760 and then and then use quickly grab it again and 2427 01:52:48.760 --> 01:52:51.199 that becomes second nature after a while, and it's like, Okay, 2428 01:52:51.199 --> 01:52:52.840 I could see that for people who play a lot 2429 01:52:52.840 --> 01:52:55.920 of games that way, which on PC is a surprisingly 2430 01:52:55.960 --> 01:52:58.119 common way that people actually do engage with like first 2431 01:52:58.119 --> 01:52:58.720 person shooters. 2432 01:52:58.760 --> 01:53:00.399 Yeah, and having the ability to do that, you know, 2433 01:53:00.439 --> 01:53:01.840 like that's never a bad thing, you know, I'm sure 2434 01:53:01.920 --> 01:53:03.720 worst case narrative, you don't like it, just turn it off, 2435 01:53:03.760 --> 01:53:07.279 don't utilize that thing. But ultimately, all three of these 2436 01:53:07.279 --> 01:53:10.560 devices are great from what we've seen. The Steam Machine 2437 01:53:10.880 --> 01:53:13.439 in particular, I think is the one I'm most excited about. 2438 01:53:13.439 --> 01:53:14.920 Like I love the idea of just having this thing 2439 01:53:14.960 --> 01:53:17.199 that's six times more powerful than the Steam Deck, just 2440 01:53:17.479 --> 01:53:20.439 HDMI cable to my TV, make it super fucking simple. 2441 01:53:21.199 --> 01:53:24.399 But I hope uh VR, Like, I mean, look, the 2442 01:53:24.439 --> 01:53:27.319 device is excellent, but there have been numerous VR devices 2443 01:53:27.359 --> 01:53:29.199 now that I've been like, oh, okay, well this fixes 2444 01:53:29.239 --> 01:53:31.680 that problem or this fixes that hardware problem. But then 2445 01:53:31.720 --> 01:53:33.399 it's like I'll be excited about it and I'm like, 2446 01:53:33.399 --> 01:53:35.239 all right, what am I gonna play? And even the 2447 01:53:35.239 --> 01:53:37.319 good ones, like that Batman game, it's like I'll do 2448 01:53:37.439 --> 01:53:39.159 once for an hour and then be like, A, I 2449 01:53:39.199 --> 01:53:42.439 don't like being in VR, So we'll see if that fixes. 2450 01:53:42.520 --> 01:53:45.119 Like games in general need to be better in VR 2451 01:53:45.359 --> 01:53:47.800 for any of the hardware to matter. But yep, at 2452 01:53:47.880 --> 01:53:51.079 least this feels really nice, even like the two D stuff, 2453 01:53:51.079 --> 01:53:53.000 Like I played a bit of Hades in the Steam 2454 01:53:53.039 --> 01:53:55.840 Frame and it was awesome, just made the screen really 2455 01:53:55.840 --> 01:53:59.920 really big, really sharp visuals and everything. I'm very excited 2456 01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:03.159 these devices. But I think the Steam Machine is number one. 2457 01:54:03.079 --> 01:54:05.720 Of my book. Yeah that's at a price. Oh go ahead, JA, 2458 01:54:05.880 --> 01:54:07.720 we don't know, Oh, I was gonna say. I think 2459 01:54:08.279 --> 01:54:11.319 I'm very surprised at how much the Steam controller seems 2460 01:54:11.359 --> 01:54:14.840 to be very popular and how excited people are about that. 2461 01:54:15.439 --> 01:54:19.840 I think my biggest takeaway though from the preview event 2462 01:54:19.880 --> 01:54:22.279 that Dan and I went to is Wow, these people 2463 01:54:22.359 --> 01:54:25.359 at Valve are very smart and passionate and like they 2464 01:54:25.600 --> 01:54:29.920 earnestly really like the things that they are making. It 2465 01:54:29.960 --> 01:54:31.920 doesn't feel like it is a cash grab or like 2466 01:54:32.439 --> 01:54:35.000 striking while the iron is hot. I know a lot 2467 01:54:35.039 --> 01:54:38.319 of people have. As soon as the Gabe Cube got 2468 01:54:38.319 --> 01:54:40.079 announced that people are saying. 2469 01:54:39.840 --> 01:54:42.600 Like take that Xbox, get fucked. 2470 01:54:43.720 --> 01:54:47.560 But I don't think that is like vow's primary motivation. 2471 01:54:47.680 --> 01:54:50.520 I think they want to just have the Steam library 2472 01:54:50.560 --> 01:54:52.720 available in more places for people. 2473 01:54:52.960 --> 01:54:55.159 I think they want to create a world where Steam 2474 01:54:55.199 --> 01:54:58.960 os is a viable alternative Windows, and they've done that now. 2475 01:54:59.079 --> 01:55:02.399 I think this like for game Yeah, yeah, for gaming, 2476 01:55:02.399 --> 01:55:04.079 which is what they care about. Right, and that's what 2477 01:55:04.439 --> 01:55:06.359 you know, it's the conversation that we're usually having there, 2478 01:55:06.439 --> 01:55:10.319 like Linux is already a viable alternative for stops people 2479 01:55:10.399 --> 01:55:12.920 really care about that, get your bass like going uh, 2480 01:55:13.000 --> 01:55:15.960 but for gaming it wasn't for for a very long time. 2481 01:55:16.000 --> 01:55:17.920 And when they tried to do Steam machines originally in 2482 01:55:18.239 --> 01:55:19.159 was that like it was like. 2483 01:55:20.239 --> 01:55:22.640 I want to say that was twenty tens. The third 2484 01:55:22.680 --> 01:55:24.119 party stuff, yeah, it was. 2485 01:55:24.159 --> 01:55:25.760 Twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. 2486 01:55:25.960 --> 01:55:26.560 What was that again? 2487 01:55:26.560 --> 01:55:30.640 They were like licensing out parting with different It was PCs. 2488 01:55:30.279 --> 01:55:33.399 Basically a SUS and acer and stuff. Maybe maybe those 2489 01:55:33.399 --> 01:55:35.359 aren't right, but like stuff like that, and they would 2490 01:55:35.359 --> 01:55:39.720 build these smaller not this small smaller they were locked, 2491 01:55:40.159 --> 01:55:43.520 but they were certainly like present it as like hey, 2492 01:55:43.520 --> 01:55:46.199 they're like this is in this tranch of price universe, 2493 01:55:46.520 --> 01:55:50.399 this tier. Yeah, the idea was really like steam os 2494 01:55:50.479 --> 01:55:52.880 was was the thrust there, and that was Linux, and 2495 01:55:52.920 --> 01:55:55.159 there's a lot of games on Steam that run on Linux. 2496 01:55:55.239 --> 01:55:57.840 Let's just do those. Well, since then, they've got Proton, 2497 01:55:58.039 --> 01:55:59.920 they have they have the steam Deck. Steam Deck was 2498 01:56:00.039 --> 01:56:01.880 has done most of the bulk of the work of 2499 01:56:02.000 --> 01:56:05.159 establishing steam os as an alternative and people are like, 2500 01:56:05.399 --> 01:56:07.439 maybe we'll start installing these on desktops. We're certainly going 2501 01:56:07.439 --> 01:56:10.239 to install them on other like Windows handhelds because this 2502 01:56:10.319 --> 01:56:12.359 is maybe more powerful in some ways, or mixed games 2503 01:56:12.439 --> 01:56:16.399 run better, mix the thing more efficient. But what about desktop? Well, 2504 01:56:16.399 --> 01:56:18.520 this is saying hey, no, this is going to work 2505 01:56:18.560 --> 01:56:21.760 on desktop as well, and everyone this time around's going yeah, 2506 01:56:21.800 --> 01:56:23.640 we see it, we get it, and we want it. 2507 01:56:23.720 --> 01:56:26.039 And that's very different than the way it happened last time, 2508 01:56:26.520 --> 01:56:30.479 and it separates us from a world of like Microsoft's 2509 01:56:30.479 --> 01:56:32.920 whims of like, hey, what are they going to distract 2510 01:56:33.000 --> 01:56:34.640 us with next time? What other garbage are they going 2511 01:56:34.680 --> 01:56:37.079 to throw into this operating system? And I use Windows 2512 01:56:37.079 --> 01:56:40.279 all the time. I'm mostly fine with it on desktop whatever. 2513 01:56:40.319 --> 01:56:43.960 It's annoying in some cases, but clearly there needed to 2514 01:56:44.000 --> 01:56:46.439 be an alternative path and now Steam os will will 2515 01:56:46.479 --> 01:56:48.600 definitely be that, and it's open and people can put 2516 01:56:48.640 --> 01:56:50.239 on whatever they want. It doesn't have to just be 2517 01:56:50.319 --> 01:56:53.640 on a Valve box Steam machine that you buy from Valve. 2518 01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:55.439 You're gonna be able to install this yourself. 2519 01:56:57.199 --> 01:57:02.399 I didn't know's I do hope that the Steam frame 2520 01:57:02.479 --> 01:57:07.520 kind of ushers in another small boom for virtual reality 2521 01:57:07.560 --> 01:57:09.960 games because I know a lot of it. I know 2522 01:57:10.000 --> 01:57:12.000 a lot of it like right now is locked behind 2523 01:57:12.039 --> 01:57:15.199 Meta and everything, and anything I can do to not 2524 01:57:15.359 --> 01:57:18.239 have Facebook or Zuckerberg anywhere near my life, I will do. 2525 01:57:20.199 --> 01:57:24.359 And I also need to emphasize how comfortable in light 2526 01:57:24.920 --> 01:57:28.479 that headset was, like as some of the wears glasses, 2527 01:57:28.520 --> 01:57:30.720 I know, like the Metaquest three can be a little 2528 01:57:30.720 --> 01:57:33.079 bit front heavy and like it hurts my neck after 2529 01:57:33.119 --> 01:57:36.279 a while, and also like my glasses will fog up, 2530 01:57:37.399 --> 01:57:39.319 but in the brief time checking out the Steam frame 2531 01:57:39.520 --> 01:57:43.079 felt very comfortable to just like onto my face. I 2532 01:57:43.159 --> 01:57:46.439 felt good. Also super duper light. And I don't understand 2533 01:57:46.439 --> 01:57:48.520 how the computer is just in the visor part. 2534 01:57:48.319 --> 01:57:50.880 Of it, but I don't It's just a phone. It's 2535 01:57:51.399 --> 01:57:54.680 just a phone. I guess there's there are are already 2536 01:57:54.720 --> 01:57:57.960 Chinese handhelds that use the same exact processor, and so 2537 01:57:58.000 --> 01:57:59.279 it's like, oh, we're going to be able to put 2538 01:57:59.319 --> 01:58:01.600 steam os on these things, and it's going to be 2539 01:58:02.039 --> 01:58:06.640 optimized for it. And so running Windows games on Android 2540 01:58:06.720 --> 01:58:09.960 something that is possible already in some ways, but you know, 2541 01:58:10.000 --> 01:58:12.720 this is going to streamline that in a significant way. 2542 01:58:12.760 --> 01:58:13.840 That's really promising. 2543 01:58:14.039 --> 01:58:16.239 Here's a question. Here's like a temperature check question as 2544 01:58:16.279 --> 01:58:18.479 it comes to VR. I saw today, they're a bunch 2545 01:58:18.479 --> 01:58:20.039 of I don't even know where the rumors came from 2546 01:58:20.039 --> 01:58:22.159 on Blue Sky today about Half Live three, like, oh, is. 2547 01:58:22.079 --> 01:58:25.079 That going to get announced today or whatever. Let's say hypothetic. 2548 01:58:25.199 --> 01:58:27.319 Let's say Half Life three gets announced and it is 2549 01:58:27.359 --> 01:58:32.239 both fully playable in VR and traditionally, how do you 2550 01:58:32.239 --> 01:58:33.399 think you would play most of that? 2551 01:58:33.600 --> 01:58:35.439 Like, do you think it'd be a thing like try? 2552 01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:35.680 Yeah? 2553 01:58:35.880 --> 01:58:36.479 I was just thinking that. 2554 01:58:36.560 --> 01:58:38.840 It's like I would probably try it, you know, to 2555 01:58:38.880 --> 01:58:40.880 see what it's like, because I mean, Alex is probably 2556 01:58:40.880 --> 01:58:43.760 the best VR game I've ever played. But ultimately I 2557 01:58:43.800 --> 01:58:46.159 still if that's a you know, twelve fifteen to twenty 2558 01:58:46.239 --> 01:58:47.880 hour game, I'm going to want to play it on 2559 01:58:47.920 --> 01:58:48.920 a screen, I think, you know. 2560 01:58:48.960 --> 01:58:52.439 Yeah, of course I think so it'd be something to 2561 01:58:52.520 --> 01:58:55.079 check out. Like Ari Seven's VR mode right was like 2562 01:58:55.159 --> 01:58:57.760 novel and quit cool. Yeah, I wouldn't play the whole 2563 01:58:57.800 --> 01:59:02.359 game like that. Yeah, I don't think. Yeah, like I don't. 2564 01:59:02.560 --> 01:59:04.680 I think it doesn't matter who you are. I don't 2565 01:59:04.680 --> 01:59:10.199 think humans adapt to like playing extended extended VR sessions. 2566 01:59:10.239 --> 01:59:13.279 It's just not like you can only be on a 2567 01:59:13.359 --> 01:59:14.840 roller coaster for so many hours. 2568 01:59:15.439 --> 01:59:17.479 You speak for yourself what. 2569 01:59:17.439 --> 01:59:20.880 I'm saying, Like you you would eventually fucking lose it, 2570 01:59:20.960 --> 01:59:22.399 Like you just can't do it. 2571 01:59:22.520 --> 01:59:25.439 You get motion sickness with VR after that. 2572 01:59:25.439 --> 01:59:28.279 One ya with one game. But I've done I've done 2573 01:59:28.319 --> 01:59:33.039 plenty of VR since I'm okay. I like roller coasters. 2574 01:59:33.520 --> 01:59:34.840 That was the first thing I did when they put 2575 01:59:34.840 --> 01:59:38.239 me in a VR for the Steam thing is I 2576 01:59:38.279 --> 01:59:40.920 turned off all of the eight way moving like all 2577 01:59:40.960 --> 01:59:43.199 of those like guard rails that put they put on 2578 01:59:43.239 --> 01:59:45.680 you in VR. I just I turn all those off 2579 01:59:45.840 --> 01:59:48.119 because I just think that is a better experience, you know, 2580 01:59:48.199 --> 01:59:51.680 I mean, I mean sick as fuck, but yeah. 2581 01:59:51.039 --> 01:59:53.159 Right, like that's my point. Like one day, you know, 2582 01:59:53.239 --> 01:59:55.560 it's just there's only so much you can do. And 2583 01:59:55.640 --> 01:59:57.960 I think, uh, I you know, I think for something 2584 01:59:58.000 --> 02:00:01.600 like Alex that was like a very impressive, impressive, uh 2585 02:00:02.239 --> 02:00:05.600 sort of proof of concept. But I would I mean, 2586 02:00:06.039 --> 02:00:09.800 imagining Half Life three completely VR. It just seems like 2587 02:00:09.840 --> 02:00:10.439 a yeah. 2588 02:00:10.439 --> 02:00:12.840 And it's like if we go, like have this conversation 2589 02:00:12.880 --> 02:00:15.039 with a normal person, we explain all this to them, 2590 02:00:15.079 --> 02:00:17.880 They're like, so I get some benefits from being an VR, 2591 02:00:18.000 --> 02:00:21.000 being more immersed. But is that what I'm is that 2592 02:00:21.039 --> 02:00:22.760 what I want from when I'm going to play a game. 2593 02:00:22.760 --> 02:00:24.319 What I want from a game is to be entertained 2594 02:00:24.359 --> 02:00:27.760 and to relax and have a good time. And immersion 2595 02:00:27.840 --> 02:00:29.720 is a baby one of those things that helps me 2596 02:00:29.920 --> 02:00:32.520 get those things. But it's not the only thing. And 2597 02:00:33.000 --> 02:00:35.319 you're saying there's a chance I'm gonna get sick. That 2598 02:00:35.359 --> 02:00:37.119 doesn't seem like a good bargain to me, and I 2599 02:00:37.159 --> 02:00:39.239 think that's gonna be that's going to continue to be 2600 02:00:39.239 --> 02:00:42.479 a problem for for this technology going forward. So we'll 2601 02:00:42.520 --> 02:00:44.840 see Prices have not been announced for any of this stuff, 2602 02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:48.359 these games, these games, these products are shipping early next year, though, 2603 02:00:48.399 --> 02:00:50.399 so they're gonna have to give us prices soon. Their 2604 02:00:50.520 --> 02:00:52.960 price is probably a moving target because stuff like RAM 2605 02:00:53.000 --> 02:00:55.239 continues to go up and it would cost I mean 2606 02:00:55.359 --> 02:00:57.720 a lot. I did just real quick. I just did. 2607 02:00:57.880 --> 02:01:00.199 I was like I've been piecing together a PC or 2608 02:01:00.239 --> 02:01:03.439 for Emmy for like the last several months, like slowly 2609 02:01:03.439 --> 02:01:05.920 trying to find deals on stuff. I was gonna use 2610 02:01:05.920 --> 02:01:08.279 my old, my old nzxt H one, which is like 2611 02:01:08.319 --> 02:01:11.199 they're a mini it X case that thing was busted, 2612 02:01:11.239 --> 02:01:12.479 so I kind of had to get a new one, 2613 02:01:12.760 --> 02:01:14.640 and so I'm a venturely. It was like, you know what, 2614 02:01:14.680 --> 02:01:16.119 I'm just gonna build one and we're gonna use this 2615 02:01:16.279 --> 02:01:18.359 kind of like as a family room PC sort of thing, 2616 02:01:18.399 --> 02:01:21.319 as something I can store media on. So I've been 2617 02:01:21.840 --> 02:01:23.560 pricing it out over time and I kind of just 2618 02:01:23.600 --> 02:01:26.000 got the last component. I think, all in to build 2619 02:01:26.079 --> 02:01:29.199 something that is going to be pretty equivalent to what 2620 02:01:29.359 --> 02:01:33.800 is happening with this Steam machine. It was like nine hundred, 2621 02:01:33.840 --> 02:01:35.960 nine hundred and fifty dollars. I think the PCPU might 2622 02:01:36.000 --> 02:01:38.800 be a little bit better, but still it's like, okay, 2623 02:01:38.840 --> 02:01:41.600 So if they can come in under that for this thing, 2624 02:01:41.680 --> 02:01:45.159 I think they'll probably be six hundred to eight hundred. 2625 02:01:45.640 --> 02:01:46.920 I think they're gonna be able to hit a lot 2626 02:01:46.960 --> 02:01:47.560 of people with that. 2627 02:01:47.359 --> 02:01:50.399 That was your two jan When they said there was 2628 02:01:50.439 --> 02:01:53.600 a five twelve and a two terabyte, I just knee 2629 02:01:53.680 --> 02:01:56.039 jerk guess was six fifty and eight hundred. 2630 02:01:56.680 --> 02:01:57.960 Yeah, that sounds right to me. 2631 02:01:59.159 --> 02:02:01.279 What was your equivalent GPU. 2632 02:02:02.720 --> 02:02:07.560 Like my GPU? Yes, I did a low profile fifty sixty, 2633 02:02:07.560 --> 02:02:09.479 which is maybe might might also be a little bit better, 2634 02:02:09.479 --> 02:02:11.119 but it's not custom it's not. I don't know if 2635 02:02:11.159 --> 02:02:15.199 it has like FSR for support. Maybe it does. But yeah, 2636 02:02:15.239 --> 02:02:17.720 that was that was the most expensive thing actually, It's 2637 02:02:17.760 --> 02:02:19.720 like I needed to get something that could fit in 2638 02:02:19.720 --> 02:02:21.920 a Mini ITX case though. So yeah, but it was 2639 02:02:22.159 --> 02:02:26.119 fun to build through the build all right, Let's get 2640 02:02:26.159 --> 02:02:28.119 on to the last of the stories here. Art Dink 2641 02:02:29.199 --> 02:02:33.720 Art Dink announces art deec game log catalog title ports 2642 02:02:33.720 --> 02:02:36.640 for Switch and PC. Art Dink has announced Art Dink 2643 02:02:36.760 --> 02:02:39.279 Game Lug, a project to port and re release they're 2644 02:02:39.319 --> 02:02:43.199 previously developed games on modern hardware. The first title, Tale 2645 02:02:43.239 --> 02:02:46.439 of the Sun, will launch on Switch and PC via 2646 02:02:46.560 --> 02:02:51.039 Theme in Japan on December sixteenth, followed by Aquaots Holiday 2647 02:02:51.159 --> 02:02:53.880 in twenty twenty six. A third title is planned for 2648 02:02:54.000 --> 02:02:56.960 later revelation. It's gotta be Dotion in the Giant, right, 2649 02:02:56.960 --> 02:02:59.960 That's Dotion the Giant. That's so yeah, I hope it is. 2650 02:03:01.880 --> 02:03:07.479 Yeah is back. They're still They're still out there. Arn't 2651 02:03:07.520 --> 02:03:10.199 dinking because if they won't dink art, who the hell will. 2652 02:03:11.079 --> 02:03:11.800 That's a good point. 2653 02:03:12.319 --> 02:03:16.359 Yeah, I have not really played Aquanats Holiday. Maybe I did, 2654 02:03:16.399 --> 02:03:18.199 like a thing on game and former of it, but 2655 02:03:18.279 --> 02:03:20.520 like I I've done a little dose in the Giant. 2656 02:03:20.600 --> 02:03:23.479 I've definitely done Tail the Sun. I would love to 2657 02:03:23.479 --> 02:03:25.359 see what that is. And it's just fucking weird that 2658 02:03:25.399 --> 02:03:27.520 they're still a company and they're putting out Tale of 2659 02:03:27.560 --> 02:03:28.680 the Sun on the. 2660 02:03:28.840 --> 02:03:31.760 Tail the Sun's gonna be on Switch MPC now. It 2661 02:03:31.920 --> 02:03:34.640 is like they are just putting them out in Japan. 2662 02:03:35.279 --> 02:03:37.239 But that's just because they're not localizing. You don't need 2663 02:03:37.239 --> 02:03:40.239 to localize those games. It'll be fine. You just play 2664 02:03:40.279 --> 02:03:40.640 those games. 2665 02:03:41.159 --> 02:03:45.399 Fine, yeah, yeah, b gay do crimes and dink art everyone. 2666 02:03:45.600 --> 02:03:48.000 That's that's what they say. That's our motto here at 2667 02:03:48.039 --> 02:03:52.279 Giant Bomb uh sony ants is a cheaper japan exclusive 2668 02:03:52.279 --> 02:03:55.479 PlayStation five. There was a PlayStation state of play last week. 2669 02:03:55.520 --> 02:04:00.199 It was a Japan state of play kind of felt like, hey, hey, 2670 02:04:00.399 --> 02:04:04.159 remember us, we like Japan too, not just you don't 2671 02:04:04.159 --> 02:04:06.319 have to just play games on Nintendo. And to help 2672 02:04:06.359 --> 02:04:09.199 facilitate that, here is a three hundred and fifty dollars 2673 02:04:09.279 --> 02:04:12.239 version of the PlayStation five, as opposed to like the 2674 02:04:12.359 --> 02:04:14.760 five hundred and fifty six hundred dollars versions we have 2675 02:04:14.880 --> 02:04:18.760 been selling you that that state of play came along with, 2676 02:04:18.960 --> 02:04:20.560 you know, some announcements here and there, but it was 2677 02:04:20.600 --> 02:04:23.600 also a reminder about a lot of other games. This 2678 02:04:23.640 --> 02:04:27.239 does seem to be though, a strategy by Sony to 2679 02:04:27.279 --> 02:04:32.159 re establish themselves in Japan, because Japanese gamers, while they 2680 02:04:32.319 --> 02:04:34.239 you know, have moved on to mobile in a lot 2681 02:04:34.239 --> 02:04:37.079 of ways, they when they do come back to consoles, 2682 02:04:37.119 --> 02:04:39.239 apparently they don't just spend a lot of money on 2683 02:04:39.479 --> 02:04:43.359 the games. They love spending money on merchandise and like 2684 02:04:43.399 --> 02:04:45.239 pop up stores and all this other stuff. And there's 2685 02:04:45.279 --> 02:04:48.119 a lot of value there that Sony has apparently left 2686 02:04:48.159 --> 02:04:50.840 on the table, and a company like Nintendo has gobbled 2687 02:04:50.920 --> 02:04:54.520 up entirely. So Sony's like, hey, we are going to 2688 02:04:54.520 --> 02:04:56.399 remind people and give them a way to get on board. 2689 02:04:57.039 --> 02:04:59.439 But there is a lot of skepticism that this is 2690 02:04:59.479 --> 02:05:01.119 going to be a enough to sort of win that 2691 02:05:01.239 --> 02:05:05.159 audience back, especially after they have done things like closed 2692 02:05:05.239 --> 02:05:07.359 Japan Studio, which might have been able to make games 2693 02:05:07.399 --> 02:05:12.319 that could really appeal to a Japanese audience. Do you 2694 02:05:12.359 --> 02:05:15.199 guys feel like they can make any inroads into Japan 2695 02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:17.880 with a cheaper PlayStation five and like a bunch of 2696 02:05:17.880 --> 02:05:19.039 partner games. 2697 02:05:20.760 --> 02:05:24.960 No, No, I'm gonna say no, I feel like it's 2698 02:05:24.960 --> 02:05:27.720 a real uphill battle. Everyone that would have really wanted 2699 02:05:27.720 --> 02:05:30.199 a PS five in Japan would have already gotten it. 2700 02:05:30.439 --> 02:05:31.119 And I can't. 2701 02:05:32.239 --> 02:05:35.520 I don't know what is trending amongst Japanese gamers right now. 2702 02:05:36.560 --> 02:05:38.640 They're in an awkward spot to where like a lot 2703 02:05:38.680 --> 02:05:40.760 of the like the franchises that would have appealed to 2704 02:05:40.840 --> 02:05:43.800 japan any younger audience, they have maybe let dormant for 2705 02:05:43.920 --> 02:05:46.800 too long now to a point where it's like, are 2706 02:05:46.880 --> 02:05:50.439 even capable of attracting much of an audience outside of 2707 02:05:50.680 --> 02:05:54.520 the olds like us? And so how many new things 2708 02:05:54.560 --> 02:05:56.720 can you spin up in that style, especially if you 2709 02:05:56.760 --> 02:06:01.000 don't have a japan studios, Like, it's pretty difficult. Third 2710 02:06:01.000 --> 02:06:03.439 party anime games can only do so much. 2711 02:06:05.159 --> 02:06:07.960 It is certainly something that where it's like if they 2712 02:06:08.000 --> 02:06:09.760 did care about Japan, and it seems like they do. 2713 02:06:10.479 --> 02:06:13.880 Alarm bells were probably going off there because four years 2714 02:06:13.920 --> 02:06:18.880 now the Japanese audience has been pulled by various analytics 2715 02:06:18.880 --> 02:06:21.279 groups and they're like, hey, like what are you playing on? 2716 02:06:21.680 --> 02:06:24.960 And since like twenty twenty three, it's like very clear 2717 02:06:25.000 --> 02:06:27.960 that like the younger gamers in Japan, gen Z and 2718 02:06:28.039 --> 02:06:32.800 younger do not care about PlayStation at all, like, and 2719 02:06:32.840 --> 02:06:36.920 that's not an overstatement at all. So when they were asked, hey, 2720 02:06:36.920 --> 02:06:39.680 what are you playing on? The DS back in twenty 2721 02:06:39.720 --> 02:06:43.000 twenty three ranked higher than the PlayStation five the Nintendo 2722 02:06:43.079 --> 02:06:46.920 DS from twenty years ago, that's the same. In twenty 2723 02:06:46.960 --> 02:06:49.560 twenty five, the three DS ranked higher than the PlayStation 2724 02:06:49.680 --> 02:06:53.800 five among gen z and younger So older gamers, yes, 2725 02:06:53.840 --> 02:06:55.680 and they still care about PlayStation to a certain extent. 2726 02:06:56.079 --> 02:06:58.760 Younger gamers do not care about it at all. That's 2727 02:06:58.800 --> 02:07:00.920 the uphill battle is now they have to sort of 2728 02:07:00.920 --> 02:07:05.920 reintroduce themselves to an audience that didn't forget, never learned 2729 02:07:05.960 --> 02:07:08.359 to care about PlayStation in the first place, and to 2730 02:07:08.000 --> 02:07:11.359 some extent, or if they did, it's like it's they 2731 02:07:11.359 --> 02:07:14.680 feel like a completely different company now. You know the 2732 02:07:14.720 --> 02:07:17.960 things that are working in Japan. It's like Splatoon and Pickman, Cute, 2733 02:07:18.000 --> 02:07:20.039 cool games with a lot of style, especially in terms 2734 02:07:20.079 --> 02:07:23.960 of Splatoon. I think that PlayStation will probably have to 2735 02:07:24.079 --> 02:07:27.439 make games like that to have a chance to change 2736 02:07:27.439 --> 02:07:31.800 the story there. But rumor is like Station six will 2737 02:07:31.840 --> 02:07:37.079 have a portable version of itself, and if that thing 2738 02:07:37.159 --> 02:07:40.199 is sleek and cool, maybe they could have introduce some 2739 02:07:40.319 --> 02:07:42.479 games alongside that, and that could change the story pretty 2740 02:07:42.520 --> 02:07:44.920 quick because the Vita was very popular in Japan and 2741 02:07:44.960 --> 02:07:47.159 maybe they can bring back some of that love. I 2742 02:07:47.199 --> 02:07:48.840 don't know, love to see, but I don't think anything's 2743 02:07:48.880 --> 02:07:53.479 going to change with the PlayStation five. Okay, oh yeah, 2744 02:07:53.479 --> 02:07:53.960 go ahed. 2745 02:07:53.800 --> 02:07:58.479 Joe, Sorry, gub I just don't see PlayStation Sony able 2746 02:07:58.560 --> 02:08:03.279 to pivot in memediately into doing qt sy wootsy stuff, 2747 02:08:03.760 --> 02:08:07.520 especially when they're massacring my boy Ratchet and Clank by 2748 02:08:07.600 --> 02:08:09.239 giving them a fucking mobile game. 2749 02:08:09.600 --> 02:08:10.920 Yeah, there's a lot of news I didn't have a 2750 02:08:11.000 --> 02:08:13.399 chance to get all that. There's a mobile shooter Ratchet 2751 02:08:13.399 --> 02:08:17.800 and Clank game that they're making. Yes, yeah, not even 2752 02:08:17.880 --> 02:08:20.319 it's not going to be available on PlayStation. It's just mobile. 2753 02:08:21.079 --> 02:08:24.600 It's it's weird. There's a handful of other stories like that, 2754 02:08:24.840 --> 02:08:27.199 but I don't know. We'll see what they're thinking. That 2755 02:08:27.319 --> 02:08:28.520 does it for the headlines, though, Jim. 2756 02:08:28.640 --> 02:08:32.039 This shows back over to you andtastic folks.

He's well read, 2844 02:12:55.560 --> 02:12:58.359 like problem in fuk though. 2845 02:12:59.159 --> 02:13:01.720 He's always tell me you twenty hours of dialogue in 2846 02:13:01.800 --> 02:13:04.520 the last one.

I think you 2856 02:13:30.600 --> 02:13:32.319 could talk to him and he would understand. 2857 02:13:32.560 --> 02:13:32.600 No. 2858 02:13:32.720 --> 02:13:36.880 He he talks back to people like uh and sounds 2859 02:13:36.920 --> 02:13:37.319 in your door. 2860 02:13:37.319 --> 02:13:39.199 There's that baby. Oshi talks all the time. It's great. 2861 02:13:39.319 --> 02:13:43.239 I like him, Yeah, baby Oshi yah, I like, I 2862 02:13:43.239 --> 02:13:45.119 wouldn't be upset of Yoshi talked. 2863 02:13:46.079 --> 02:13:46.680 Yeah, it's fine. 2864 02:13:46.720 --> 02:13:50.159 I'm a big Yoshi talking. Yeah, I don't. 2865 02:13:50.159 --> 02:13:53.680 I don't think he will though, Mother Safty brother should 2866 02:13:53.720 --> 02:13:54.279 voice Yoshi. 2867 02:13:54.800 --> 02:13:57.720 Yes, yeah, absolutely, boy, no one, no one's ever heard 2868 02:13:57.760 --> 02:13:58.239 that guy talk. 2869 02:13:58.359 --> 02:13:58.560 Yeah. 2870 02:13:58.680 --> 02:14:00.960 We don't hear from him. We Benny all the time. 2871 02:14:01.000 --> 02:14:07.560 It's Ben Rick from Minneapolis. Finishes in Super Mario sixty four. 2872 02:14:07.600 --> 02:14:09.199 He talks to you on the roof of the castle. 2873 02:14:09.239 --> 02:14:11.159 Actually you get one hundred and twenty stars. All this 2874 02:14:11.279 --> 02:14:13.520 to say, would it would it actually be weirder if 2875 02:14:13.600 --> 02:14:14.560 Yoshi doesn't talk. 2876 02:14:14.479 --> 02:14:18.800 In the movie weirder? Probably? I still think Jenny Slight 2877 02:14:18.880 --> 02:14:19.760 should voice Yoshi. 2878 02:14:19.840 --> 02:14:24.920 I think you're just empirically correct about that. Yoshi will 2879 02:14:24.960 --> 02:14:30.039 say a word or two like Yoshi yeah, yeah, or 2880 02:14:30.199 --> 02:14:34.079 like or like maybe in a great moment of like plot, 2881 02:14:34.720 --> 02:14:38.279 you know, tension, it'll just be like it's up there, 2882 02:14:38.520 --> 02:14:45.199 you know, I'll reveal something. Yeah, it was like, I'm shy, 2883 02:14:45.479 --> 02:14:47.039 but this was important for me to say. 2884 02:14:47.319 --> 02:14:49.800 That was a really good Chris Pratt grub that sounded 2885 02:14:49.920 --> 02:14:51.720 like Chris Pratt's Mario voice. 2886 02:14:52.079 --> 02:14:55.359 Yeah, you guess remember the Weird Tom and Jerry anime 2887 02:14:55.520 --> 02:14:57.439 movie that came out in the nineties where they just 2888 02:14:57.560 --> 02:15:00.920 talked the whole time. Actually, yes, and like yeah, like 2889 02:15:00.960 --> 02:15:03.159 my dinner with Andre, they just like had a conversation 2890 02:15:03.239 --> 02:15:03.680 the whole time. 2891 02:15:03.840 --> 02:15:08.359 Yeah, Spike was there, got really awkward. Like little Baby 2892 02:15:08.399 --> 02:15:09.520 gray Mouse was also there. 2893 02:15:10.840 --> 02:15:13.319 The baby he was playable in the Super Nintendo Tom 2894 02:15:13.359 --> 02:15:13.960 and Jerry game. 2895 02:15:14.000 --> 02:15:14.319 I had. 2896 02:15:15.039 --> 02:15:18.640 Yeah, you know what after playing Dispatch, I want Yoshi 2897 02:15:18.760 --> 02:15:21.760 to be voiced by Jeffrey Wright. That would nice. 2898 02:15:23.039 --> 02:15:24.159 I would like that quite a bit. 2899 02:15:24.239 --> 02:15:28.760 Yeah, all right, Moving on Kenny from Queen's Rights in 2900 02:15:29.319 --> 02:15:32.479 Dear Bomb, folks, question for mister Grubb or anyone else 2901 02:15:32.479 --> 02:15:34.640 who wants to weigh in, which do you think is 2902 02:15:34.720 --> 02:15:40.399 most likely one? The PlayStation is PlayStation six is very expensive, 2903 02:15:40.680 --> 02:15:43.000 but Sony continues to make and sell the PS five 2904 02:15:43.039 --> 02:15:46.840 alongside it. Two, the PS five is repackaged as the 2905 02:15:47.039 --> 02:15:51.680 base model PS six alongside more premium PS six skews 2906 02:15:52.439 --> 02:15:55.680 or three. The chip inside the rumored Canis or Canus 2907 02:15:55.720 --> 02:15:58.960 handheld gets put in a box and becomes the base 2908 02:15:59.039 --> 02:16:02.319 model PS six alongside a premium skew, and the handheld 2909 02:16:02.359 --> 02:16:05.479 itself to be the steam machine. Steam Machine announcement and 2910 02:16:05.600 --> 02:16:08.359 Sony's midway through the generation comments, There's been a ton 2911 02:16:08.399 --> 02:16:10.520 of discourse on this, and I was curious what your 2912 02:16:10.560 --> 02:16:12.920 thoughts were. Keep being awesome, Kenny. 2913 02:16:13.399 --> 02:16:15.560 Yeah, I've speculated on Game last morning is a bunch 2914 02:16:15.560 --> 02:16:17.079 of times now that I think I think the PS 2915 02:16:17.159 --> 02:16:21.199 five will be re introduced in some way to like 2916 02:16:21.479 --> 02:16:25.560 make it as relevant as possible, whether that's like just 2917 02:16:25.760 --> 02:16:28.399 trying to like diminish the importance of the five to 2918 02:16:28.479 --> 02:16:31.800 the six jump, or to maybe repackage the PS five 2919 02:16:32.040 --> 02:16:34.440 as a Here's what they could do. They could take 2920 02:16:34.639 --> 02:16:38.159 the chip architecture of the PS five and then re 2921 02:16:38.559 --> 02:16:42.159 build that on the same sort of a process that 2922 02:16:42.200 --> 02:16:44.360 they're using for the PS six, So the chip could 2923 02:16:44.360 --> 02:16:48.200 be really small, it could be really energy efficient, and 2924 02:16:48.280 --> 02:16:50.680 they could put out like a PS six MANI and 2925 02:16:50.799 --> 02:16:54.680 that's basically a PS five, but like all the games, 2926 02:16:54.719 --> 02:16:56.799 because they're just not going to make that many games 2927 02:16:57.040 --> 02:16:58.680 that don't run on the PS five during the PS 2928 02:16:58.719 --> 02:17:00.920 six generation because there's just not a point to it. 2929 02:17:01.399 --> 02:17:04.399 So yeah, I think the PS five will be re 2930 02:17:04.559 --> 02:17:07.719 engineered and reimagined by Sony in some real way to 2931 02:17:07.799 --> 02:17:11.280 keep that thing around so that they can justify supporting 2932 02:17:11.360 --> 02:17:14.920 it for another like ten years, because they've sold a 2933 02:17:15.000 --> 02:17:17.399 ton of those things, and unlike the PS four, it 2934 02:17:17.440 --> 02:17:19.479 won't be an albatross around their neck in terms of 2935 02:17:20.040 --> 02:17:22.639 upgrading games and making sure games run well. And the 2936 02:17:22.719 --> 02:17:24.360 PS four wasn't even that much of a problem in 2937 02:17:24.399 --> 02:17:26.840 the first place. So yeah, I think it's probably somewhere 2938 02:17:26.879 --> 02:17:29.959 around that second option. I don't know, I'm speculating, though, 2939 02:17:29.959 --> 02:17:31.120 I don't know if you guys have any thoughts on 2940 02:17:31.280 --> 02:17:31.959 well what gives you? 2941 02:17:32.040 --> 02:17:34.760 I mean, I definitely understand where you're coming from with 2942 02:17:34.879 --> 02:17:39.280 like the need to have it be much more seamless, 2943 02:17:39.399 --> 02:17:43.920 right where it's like, let's not have a generational borderlines, right, 2944 02:17:44.000 --> 02:17:47.680 and let's kind of make everything a lot more fluid. 2945 02:17:47.840 --> 02:17:51.520 I understand that, But how do you think they square 2946 02:17:51.600 --> 02:17:54.920 that by just repackaging it though, and not or is 2947 02:17:54.959 --> 02:17:56.799 it just more of a marketing pushed. 2948 02:17:56.520 --> 02:17:59.840 Than it be a combination of marketing and a variety 2949 02:17:59.879 --> 02:18:01.680 of of a variety of things. But yeah, it's mostly 2950 02:18:01.719 --> 02:18:04.680 gonna be marketing. It's mostly gonna be yeah, telling people, hey, 2951 02:18:04.879 --> 02:18:07.280 there's this cheaper PS like, yeah, maybe the PS five 2952 02:18:07.360 --> 02:18:08.760 is going away, but you can get this PS six 2953 02:18:08.879 --> 02:18:12.000 many and it's basically slightly improved in some key ways, 2954 02:18:12.079 --> 02:18:15.760 but mostly still that same system because they're gonna want 2955 02:18:15.760 --> 02:18:18.120 to keep making PS five games for a very long time. 2956 02:18:18.200 --> 02:18:19.840 That's that's I think the motivating factor. 2957 02:18:21.040 --> 02:18:21.280 Cool. 2958 02:18:22.040 --> 02:18:25.639 Cool, I don't want to think about the word PS six. 2959 02:18:25.520 --> 02:18:27.319 For a while. I don't think you have to worry 2960 02:18:27.319 --> 02:18:29.079 about it for a minute. I don't think we'll get 2961 02:18:29.120 --> 02:18:31.840 that far anyway. It's all coming apart. 2962 02:18:32.120 --> 02:18:35.760 Yeah, funny, it's well, it's funny because like I watch 2963 02:18:36.680 --> 02:18:39.040 my child and his friends and the way they talk 2964 02:18:39.079 --> 02:18:43.319 about games, and you know, there is still something of 2965 02:18:43.479 --> 02:18:47.520 a kind of like generational, like the latest and greatest 2966 02:18:47.959 --> 02:18:51.920 thing that is sort of inseparably kind of tethered to 2967 02:18:52.079 --> 02:18:55.319 like what a console is right a to a person. 2968 02:18:56.000 --> 02:18:58.399 So they'll make a real PS six to go alongside it, 2969 02:18:58.479 --> 02:19:00.399 and I think it's going to be extremely expended of though, 2970 02:19:00.479 --> 02:19:01.200 And yeah. 2971 02:19:01.840 --> 02:19:04.920 Right, yeah, I just it's interesting how like they because 2972 02:19:04.920 --> 02:19:07.360 I do look to them to kind of, like, you know, 2973 02:19:07.639 --> 02:19:09.239 answer some of the questions we were talking about earlier 2974 02:19:09.239 --> 02:19:10.280 in the show, especially with like. 2975 02:19:10.399 --> 02:19:11.959 You know, game loyalty and whatnot. 2976 02:19:12.040 --> 02:19:15.399 But yeah, it's it's wild to think. I mean, I 2977 02:19:15.479 --> 02:19:17.319 feel but at the same time, I feel like we've 2978 02:19:17.360 --> 02:19:21.079 been predicting this sort of like you know, leveling of 2979 02:19:21.200 --> 02:19:24.000 the of that playing field for for a while now, right, 2980 02:19:24.159 --> 02:19:27.159 I think it's just seemed to need a spot to 2981 02:19:27.280 --> 02:19:28.840 kind of break in there. 2982 02:19:29.040 --> 02:19:31.760 It happened without without them even really trying between the 2983 02:19:31.799 --> 02:19:33.879 PS four and the PS five, right that they weren't 2984 02:19:33.879 --> 02:19:36.120 trying to keep the PS four around as hard as 2985 02:19:36.280 --> 02:19:38.559 as it ended up staying around. And then it's like 2986 02:19:38.600 --> 02:19:41.559 they're like, well, that's only going to be worse next time, 2987 02:19:41.559 --> 02:19:43.719 because the PS five is really good, it's a really 2988 02:19:43.760 --> 02:19:47.879 good console, and all our third party partners like they 2989 02:19:48.000 --> 02:19:50.719 might just make games for the PS five and and say, 2990 02:19:50.760 --> 02:19:53.799 that's a PS six game as well. And if that's 2991 02:19:53.840 --> 02:19:56.280 the case, what are we doing here? Should we really 2992 02:19:56.360 --> 02:19:59.040 be focusing that much on trying to lop off an 2993 02:19:59.159 --> 02:20:02.040 entire shperation, and they're not interested in that anymore. It's 2994 02:20:02.079 --> 02:20:03.959 worked out really well for them. They made a lot 2995 02:20:04.040 --> 02:20:06.120 of money by not doing that. They're just going to 2996 02:20:06.159 --> 02:20:07.879 continue going down the route that's made them a lot 2997 02:20:07.959 --> 02:20:08.239 of money. 2998 02:20:09.040 --> 02:20:10.159 How's that pro selling? 2999 02:20:11.440 --> 02:20:11.479 Not? 3000 02:20:12.159 --> 02:20:13.520 I don't think it's selling as well as the PS 3001 02:20:13.600 --> 02:20:15.760 four Pro did, but it's not. I don't think it's 3002 02:20:15.760 --> 02:20:18.159 also not outside the range of what they expected. It's 3003 02:20:18.159 --> 02:20:21.959 probably like one in every ten PlayStation five's being sold 3004 02:20:21.959 --> 02:20:22.280 as a pro. 3005 02:20:22.479 --> 02:20:25.079 And I feel like when the PS four Pro came 3006 02:20:25.120 --> 02:20:27.879 out there was a justification because my base PS four 3007 02:20:28.440 --> 02:20:31.159 sounded like it wanted to unlive itself anytime I fired 3008 02:20:31.200 --> 02:20:31.639 up a game. 3009 02:20:32.159 --> 02:20:32.959 But I don't have. 3010 02:20:33.760 --> 02:20:35.440 My biggest problem with the PS five right now is 3011 02:20:35.479 --> 02:20:37.959 I don't know where mine is. That's a problem, right 3012 02:20:38.440 --> 02:20:41.319 Yours went missing? Yeah, just like your key you put 3013 02:20:41.399 --> 02:20:44.520 up post all buddies as in your better it's if 3014 02:20:44.639 --> 02:20:48.000 I chucked.
