Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to Gay Mess Mornings with Me Mike Minati,
your host from GiantBomb dot com. Thank you for tuning in.
In this episode, we are going to be talking about
a partner.
Speaker 2: Direct is coming soon.
Speaker 1: We finally have some clarification on the whole dispatch Nintendo
switch to censorship, Debuckle, and somehow beyond Good and Evil too,
per sist. It's gonna be a good one because we
have Jesse Vittelli on this show.
Speaker 2: Jesse, how are you doing.
Speaker 3: I'm doing great.
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 3: It's Friday. We made it to the end of another week.
Speaker 1: We did it, Oh man, we sure did. This has
been another go by fast week for me. It's still
been very cold outside. I think school has been canceled
for all kids here just all week because of cold.
Mostly it's like a second little winter break for them.
And because of it, I just stayed inside a lot,
which like always makes time go really fast and feel
kind of gross to me.
Speaker 3: No, I get that absolutely. The kids in New York
City are currently trying to throw snowballs at may Or
Mom Donnie for not closing the schools, but that's not
his that's not his call. So you know what, throw
the snowballs, go for.
Speaker 1: It, that fung that. Yeah, that's just where kids are
going to do. But yeah, I'm definitely gonna love to
get out this week in a bit to make up
for being cooped up so much. The Youngstown Beer Fest
that I go to with my friends every year is
happening this weekend, So I'm going to be going to
that with them and sampling a bunch of different beers,
getting really into the idea that I get to vote
for my favorite. My brother bought all of us themed
shirts this year. Have you heard of the Lobster Boys
Jesse Vitelli Lobster Boys.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's the thing I would get really into.
Hold on, let me look.
Speaker 1: Up the Lobster. No, oh, you're not going to find
it on the internet. No, no, this is as inexclusive stuff.
This is Queen Me and my brothers, my friends. I
don't know why, but we all just it started as
a joke, like we're going to be the guys who
just go and hang out at the bar at the
Red Lobster, right like you know, it's one of the
things you start thinking, like, why does.
Speaker 2: Red Lobster have a full service bar?
Speaker 1: At all times showing there, and it's like, well, it
should be us, And then we start evangelizing Red Lobster
and talking about how they have the coldest bruise and
the fastest Wi Fi and all these things. And now
it's escalated to the point where we have matching shirts
with lobsters and beer on it, and I think we're
all gonna wear them together when we go to this
beer fest.
Speaker 3: Is Red Lobster recognized y'all as an official organization?
Speaker 2: Yet?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: And I tell you what, I've reached out. I have
reached out, and it has been radio silence. And what's the.
Speaker 3: Point of being Internet famous if we can't get Red
Lobster to recognize the Lobster boys. We gotta we gotta
fix this' ys.
Speaker 1: They don't know that any constant and dopamine internet approval.
I think I got it from Blue Sky. I got
randomly verified on.
Speaker 3: The Blue Sky yesterday.
Speaker 1: So that was that was a big day for Mikey's
first big day. Yeah, I'm not sure what that process
because I never asked them to do it. I guess
they just like notice me, smpire or something. I don't know,
but I'll.
Speaker 3: They say that's a member of the Lobster Boys and
they verified you.
Speaker 1: I guess that's what it is. I should have a
special lobster claw verification on if I'm a Lobster Boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what about you?
Speaker 1: Any any plans for the weekend currently?
Speaker 3: No, I might go see was a concert this Aumotion
City soundtrack concert tonight that I might buy last minute
tickets to. We're waiting to find out those tickets are
kind of pricey right now, so I'm gonna wait till
like an hour before to see if the price goes
down just enough where I'm like, okay, I can go now.
But other than that, No, it's like last week we
had the snowstorm, and now the snow is in a
really gross spot where it's like piled up on the
sidewalks and it's like you're dirty snow and it's like
dog pee, and like it's impossible to cross the street
because everything's blocked off with all the snow. So it's like,
I don't really want to go outside this weekend if
I don't have to, imtu play some video games.
Speaker 1: Are these the gross, slushy, ugly snowballs that they're throwing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's all dirty and yellow and discolored, and
it's so gross and everyone's gonna trudge through it because
like you're just trying to cross the street and it's
like there's no other way. We just gotta just gotta
climb over it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this sounds kind of beautiful to me
in some weird way, in a.
Speaker 3: Weird way, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: All right. Before we get into things, let's explain ourselves.
Most weekdays, Jeff Grub will be here to help peace
your gaming life back together. Does this look like most
days to you? No, I'm here, I'm in charge now.
Uh yeah, we gave Jeff this one off. He's actually
getting ready for a little trippy who He's going to
be heading down to Minnesota to hang out with our
friends at men Max. There were during the an ice
out call Op charity stream. It's going to be starting
at seven pm Eastern two nights. Everybody. We're going to
be looking to benefit people who are maybe unable to
leave their homes, fraid to leave their homes, Help get
them some food, put food on families, that sort of thing.
So very excited for that. Dan and Grub are going
to be joining men Max for that one again. Seven
pm Eastern two night. So yeah, very very proud of
Jeffy on short notice being being willing to head out
there and help make this happen. Yeah, I know that.
I am very excited to watch that one ye there
myself because I know you were you were doing some
some fundraising yourself recently. Think you're playing some Resident Evil six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we me and one Michael Hyam have started our
play through a Resident Evil six Leon's campaign specifically because
we were like, it started out as like, oh, we
should play Resident Evil six and play Leon's campaign because
village is obviously coming out at the end of end
of February, and then you know, all of the ice
stuff started happening, really ramping up in Minnesota. We were like,
we should like use this as a vehicle to raise money,
and so we started the campaign last Sunday and I
actually think we're going to continue it this Sunday. So, Okay,
when you're done, when you're done with all the charity
yourself with mid Max and Giant Bomb, if you're still
looking for some more good content for people trying to
raise money and awareness, like Sunday, you might get to
watch some really bad Resident Evil six gameplay over at
my Twitch channel on Michael Switch channel, so the keep
the the support of the collective action going.
Speaker 1: You know, hey, that's six pm Eastern. By the way,
everybody is when this thing is starting. I have been told, look,
I'm looking at it the thing or here from a
different site that's at t ven pm.
Speaker 2: It is only mildly my fault. Boy.
Speaker 1: I uh, I've always wanted to play Resievil six. I
played Resievil seven this past weekend and had such a
great time with it. Yeah yeah, you finish, Oh yeah, yeah,
I point through the whole thing. It was fantastic. I've
now played through most of the numbered resident Evils, but
you know six is supposed to be bad and long,
so that is definitely a bit of the torrent on
that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're We played for about five hours on Sunday
and we finished chapter two of what I believe is
five chapters for Leon.
Speaker 1: How many qt ease how many qut easy?
Speaker 3: Did you has every it's every forty seconds e qtas
per per second on that the qt EPs is all right.
Speaker 1: So yes, I'm here to bring the piece your game
like back together that includes breaking news and maybe even
some of our own original reporting for these topics. I'll
get the input from a bona fide expert. It will
make me look smart. If you're watching live on you
our Twitch welcome. You can always listen to the show
later on podcast feeds by searching for Games Mornings, or
find the RSS feed on giant bum dot com. You
can also catch the show later with chapters and timestamps
on YouTube. Hello YouTube, Alright, got a lot to game too,
so let's start the show with a Nintendo directors are
reportedly coming next week dedicated to partner games from Andy
Robinson and VGC. Nintendo will reportly stream a new nintend
director dedicated to third party games next week. That's according
to Nate the Hate and Game Explained, who claim a
Nintendo Partner Director will take place on Thursday, February fifth.
This matches what VGC has heard from our own sources.
Partner Director is Nintendo's digital showcase for third party titles
schedule for release on Switch and Switch To, rather than
games Nintendo currently has in development at its own studios.
Nintendo held a partner direct to last July, which feature
games like fomp Phasy Tactics, Monster Hunter, Story Three, Hiro
Warriors Age of Imprisonment, Star Wars, Outlaws, Octopath Travel Zero,
and more. As Switched who enters the second half of
its first year, many play are anticipating major third party
game announcements. Games already confirmed for swhich to include Elden Ring,
Double Seven, First Light India, Jones in The Great Circle,
and from Softwar's The Dusk Bloods. This makes sense. I
know a lot of people are hoping for a straight
up Nintendo Direct with more Nintendo games being announced, although
when you look at the calendar, there are a lot
of Nintendo first party games already coming, Tomadaci Life which
just had its own mini Direct, Mario Tennis, and things
kind of a little bit further in the future, even
like fire Emblem. I think everybody's still trying to see
what's like the really big game this year, Like is
there a new three D Mario, or is new Smash
Brothers or you know, what's what's the big thing? Or
you know, is that just Pokemon Gen ten, which we'll
hear about on Pokemon Day here, which isn't super far away.
But yeah, Jesse, are you believing this reporting? And I
suppose what are you hoping to see at a partner direct.
Speaker 3: I feel like enough people have come out to say like, yeah,
this is happening that I don't know if the date
is right, but like it feels about right for a
partner showcase. My favorite thing about Nintendo is like, for
all the years we've been trying to figure out, like, oh, well,
they do these things on a schedule. They always have
a February direct, they always have a September Direct. It's
like we're always guessing, right, It's always in the dark.
We're always just like trying to figure it out, and
then like a lot of leakers come out and they're like,
oh I got the scoop, and then it's it's always
like ninety percent right. There's always like we're mostly there.
So I believe there's a Partner direct. Yeah, I have
no reason to not believe it. But like you said,
Nintendo has a pretty strong slate. The first part of
this year, it's like it's like Pokemon, Pacopia, Mario Tennis,
What was the one We're just we're just Tomadaci life,
that Yoshi and the Mysterious book.
Speaker 1: The Yoshi Game, Right, I always keep forgetting about that
one they have.
Speaker 3: They have like the Super Mario Wonder Nintendo Switch to
Edition or whatever, like they've got a lot of stuff
coming out Virtual Boy.
Speaker 2: Of course you can forget that, you.
Speaker 3: Forget, And so I think a partner showcase makes sense
to sort of round out the rest of the roster
for like this first half of the year, because you
have some pretty big ports like on the way, like
obviously like Raisin and Evils coming to Switch to and
stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's possible that you know, Nintendo games of
the sort could still show up here, like you know,
like this said Higher Warriors was at the last one,
so there could still be Nintendo properties if they're being
made by other more third party studios. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think dust Bloods is maybe the biggest thing,
because that's still the biggest question mark we have. It
was something that was shown last year at the almost
a year ago. It was in April beginning of April's
when that got shown off. We're approaching it like it's
time to see more of that game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it was part of like the
big switch to Direct. Yeah, in fact, and I still
have a ton of questions on what that game is
actually be a. Zaki himself is working on this one.
It looks like Bloodborne, but you know, they're they're emphasizing
the multiplayer, the PDP element of it, which you know,
for me, that's not really what I come to those
games for. So I'm a little wary of it. But yeah,
I definitely you know, don't want to discount from Soft.
They don't want to discount me as Zaki, So I'm
curious to see more. There's also you know, the the
elden Ring Ports, which was supposed to come out last year. Yeah,
people looked at it, they got previews, and apparently it
looked awful. So I'm really curious about the ability of
them to get that thing into decent shape.
Speaker 3: I do like that they kind of got ahead of
it though, and they called it the Tarnished Edition from
like the get go, like we already knew it was
gonna be kind of like they kind of were pretty
upfront about that. They're like, yeah, this is the tartist Edition.
It's not gonna be great, and then you know, from
from Software.
Speaker 1: I would also just like to see a switch to
update for uh for uh Dark Souls. I'd like to
see that game running at sixty francs per second. There
a lot of games obviously that I would like to
see get that treatment. But yeah, you know Double seven
first Light, I'm curious what that's going to look like
on here saything that Idian Jones in the Great Circle.
We've seen some really good switch to ports, like the
recent Final Fantasy seven remake. Then we've seen baffing, bafflingly
bad ones like Skyrims. Somehow Skyrims switch to version doesn't
look good. So it seems like it's all over the place.
So it's I'm still not a point yet where you
just tell me you're making a switch to version and
I automatically believe it's going to be good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm excited for Rebirth on switch to eventually though, because
the remake looks really good. So Rebirth I'd be really
shocked to see how they got that one on there.
But there's just so many games, like you could pretty
much name anything that came out last generation or early
this generation be like, yeah, that could come to switch
to Why not?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean one of them was both. I always
thought boulders Gate three, right and then behind the scenes
drama on why that might not happen, But you know
what about Claire up Skirt? Maybe last year's most talked
about video game. That that's one that you think they
would be desperate to put on switch to. Nintendo would
be desperate to have on switch to. I wonder if
that's one that we could see pop up here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if we'll uh maybe, well we'll see
a sneak peak of the Silk Song DLC.
Speaker 1: That's right, the watery kind of one whatever it was called.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sea of Sorrow or whatever it's called. Yeah, yes,
because they said it was that was this year.
Speaker 1: I would be super excited about that. A lot of
people try to bring it metaphors Fantasia. We did have
three reloads show up on switch already, And of course
there's all these Resident Evil games, right, Resident Resident Evil
Requiem that's coming out on launch day on switch Shoe,
along with ports of seven and eight. That still leaves
out Residevil two, three, and four remake, So maybe we
can see native versions of those announced at least for
Switch to give us an idea that those are coming later.
But yeah, with Nathan Hate Game explained and also VGC
kind of all saying that this is happening, I'm pretty
inclined to believe it. So yeah, yeah, I'm going to
be excited for this, and yeah, I get I'll get
my hopes up for some like real exciting thing like yeah,
like someone fire and chat said Caslvania Konami.
Speaker 2: Yeah, finally show me what that is.
Speaker 1: Make that a real Nintendo we looking thing, and I'll
be super stoked for it, all right. Nintendo comments on
dispatches Nintendo switch shoes censorship. This is from Jory Miller
at VGC earlier this week. Dispatch, the episodic narrative adventure
game by ad Hoc Studio, set up by veteran developers
from Telto Games Ubisoft in Night School Studio, was released
on Nintennal Switch and Nintendo Switch too and statement sure
We're going Nintendo. The publisher claimed that Nintendo itself doesn't
make changes to gain content and that development partners are
fully aware of platform restrictions. Here's the quote here from Nintendo.
Nintendo requires all games on platforms to receive ratings from
independent organizations and to meet our established content and platform guides.
While we inform partners when the titles don't meet our guidelines,
Nintendo does not make changes to partner content. Also do
not discuss specific content or that criteria used in making
these the turment nations Jesse. A lot of people are
thinking that the kind of the message from this is
that these were ad hocs's decisions to sort of reach
certain criteria for either different country censorships or to get
specific ratings to other places, and they did not do
what say, you know, the cyberpunk people did, where you
can kind of release different versions of the game for
different markets to reach different ratings things. Here, they kind
of have one version of the game and they want
to make sure it complied with maybe the lowest common
denominator here at least when it comes to I think
this is a strange move for this game, a game
which I'm not gonna say about many games. This is
the game where I think that the nipples and the
penises are pretty important.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I only played the first chapter of Dispatch, but even that,
like opening scene, it felt like, oh, this is kind
of like what this game is. Its tone, it's like vibe,
it's like what it sort of like. It's holisthetic, is
sort of built around this idea of like kind of
crude and lude superheroes, right, And I feel like if
you take a lot of that away it kind of
changes like what that game is trying, like the statement
that game is.
Speaker 2: Trying to make.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there are some like games where like if
you put like the little censorship bar, I think it
just plays as well. It's maybe even funnier. This is
a game where no just it's the fact that you
do just see that stuff is kind of part of
the I don't know if I want to say greatness
of it, but there's a casualness to the game, right Like,
this is the game that is going to talk about sex,
and there's gonna someone's gonna have a casual nip slip
and it's going to maybe actually be a since your
moment because of it. I would have no interest in
playing this game in a censored formats and I shocked
that they would even do that. And I see people
are kind of reaching out for refunds things like that. Gosh,
there's got to be something here. I don't know if
we need it. Do we need like a different release
of the game, like the adult only version for a
certain market.
Speaker 3: Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the NSO and sixty four M plus the
separate app right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you.
Speaker 3: You got to launch into a separate switch dashboard in
which you can access dispatch and like GoldenEye and like then.
Speaker 1: You're good, right, right, Yeah, So I don't know. I
wonder if they're going to just leave this be or
if there's going to be something coming for this game
that's going to change it up.
Speaker 3: It's so weird because like obviously rating, like rating boards
all have very different criteria, and there's like we've seen
over the years a lot of different things were like
like a decade ago, Rainbow six Siede was like taking
casinos out of the game because they wanted to put
the game in China, and that like changed one of
the maps, and like there's all these different facets of
video games, especially when you release them in different places,
are different systems, whatever. And then you like look at
the switch Shop and it's like here's Henti Golf and
like seven hundred sex games and then they're like dispatch though,
like you need to figure your stuff out because like
this rating, and it's obviously different companies talking to each
other and different criteria for different things. But it really
is fascinating to see how that switch Shop operates.
Speaker 1: It's so bizarre, and like the fact that a game
called Hanti golf is on there is one thing and
then to learn, and I want to emphasize learn. I
have never played hand ti golf, but I've been told
that there's actually a distinct lack of handtie in that
video game. Like like all these games are just title bait.
Speaker 3: Just title bait. They are, right, but it is just
funny that it's like, yeah, those those can get like
like put those out there like title bait all you want,
and then it's like okay, But like Dispatch a game
that like uses it specifically for the way that it does,
it is like no, you gotta like you gotta fit
your stuff out right.
Speaker 1: But even that, it's like they're kind of self reporting,
like we are going we had to figure it out,
and what we're going to do is just kind of
censor everything ourselves and hopefully that then we don't have
to release multiple skews, which costs money for different territories.
So it's a weird system. I still think there is
something on nintended here for maybe the system being complicated,
and I don't know, maybe Nintendo should reach out to
special case studios like this and give them a hand.
I'm not sure, but I don't think anybody wants to
play a dispatch with with with with black bars over
the dongs, I'm just gonna they don't say dong anymore.
Is that aging me?
Speaker 3: It's I think it's aging you a little bit, But
you know what, we'll allow it.
Speaker 1: I'm turning forty this year. I'm sorry, every body. I'm
gonna I'm gonna have to say dog every once in
a while.
Speaker 3: You're cooked.
Speaker 1: I used to Repenny Arcade and liked it. That's the
old I am, everybody.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry you can't see it, but off screen, I
do have a sign to penning Arkide comic on.
Speaker 1: I like that your kid, Yeah yeah, squar Nick says
a new version of pant Fancay seven is coming to
Steam Whoo, but doesn't say what's exactly new or when
it's coming. It's from Andy Chalk at PC Gamer. There's
a new version of Opposite seven coming to Steam to
take place of the twenty thirteen release. Everyone who owns
the original can have it for free, and even better,
they'll continue to have access to the old addition too.
Might be curious what's new in this new version or
when will be out, And I'm sorry to say I
can't help. A message posted to the fan Fantasy seven
account on x says the original fun Fantasy sem will
be released on Steam to provide an improved gameplay experience.
In direct readers who announcement on Steam for full details
and there definitely are more details, although calling it fool
is a stretch. The existing game will be renamed a
fump Fantasy seven to twenty thirteen edition when the new
version launches. Existing ownders will have access to both versions,
but the original will no longer be available for purchase.
Save data will not be compatible. Twenty thirteen staves won't
work in the new release, and vice versa. Soon jump
into the new one, you'll be starting from scratch, Jesse,
It's kind of fun to imagine what this could mean.
What's this new version of fomp Fantasy seven. I see
a lot of people saying that it might simply just
be Well, actually, after the Steam release, the version that
came to consoles like Xbox one, Place or four had
a few extra bells and whistles, like the ability to
turn off saves and some fast forwarding. Maybe, and we
might just be getting that version on PC now, which
graphically is still going to have the problem, at least
for me, of like the seven eight nine remasters, we
have these upress character models and then these super blurry backgrounds,
and to me it looks much uglier than the games
did on original hardware. Yeah, I've never liked the look
of the Steam games, but yeah, I mean, do you
think that's the case here? Is that you know, we
should maybe lower expectations on what this could mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not expecting anything major. I have seen some
really bad faith actors out there saying, oh, they're gonna
change the dialogue and they're gonna make it more in
line with remake the way that like when Rebirth came
out they went back and changed that line and remake.
People like they're gonna change the original and like they baby,
But like, I don't. I don't think that's what this
is about.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I think this is just some quality of life features.
I think people are maybe getting a little too uh
too content brained. But yeah, I don't think some quality
of life improvements and nothing more from this.
Speaker 1: I don't think people want the script for the original
Final Fantasy seven to change, even though, like to me,
this is kind of like one of the last ones
from screens where I don't think the script was amazing,
but at this point it's iconic. It has a charm
to it. You don't just go back and change it.
I don't think they're going in and adding like Easter eggs.
It's not gonna be a secret countdown timer to the
announcement of Resident Evil Remake Part three or anything like
that in here. I also seen some people consern that,
you know a lot of people have made mods for
foun Fantasy seven, and they made it for that twenty
thirteen edition, and are those gonna be compatible with the
new version of this game?
Speaker 2: Question?
Speaker 1: Right, And so that might be a problem gating this
twenty thirteen version. Yeah, it will still be accessible to
people who own it right now, but it's not gonna
be sold anymore, right, so it's not gonna be super compatible.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The fact that saves an't gonna be compatible between them
is maybe a clue that like, okay, it won't the
mods something might be.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I do like to think about the person though, that
like bought that game, played like half of it, and
then in twenty twenty six six is like I'm gonna
pick up my save, I'm gonna let's go and then
they're like, oh no, by save, I have to start
over from fifteen years ago, and it's.
Speaker 1: Like right, So I know when I'm in that situation,
I always I'm like, I guess I'm starting this game
over from the top. I think I played through the
train section of Final Fantasy seven and all of its
versions like a two dozen and times at this point,
and I always enjoy it. I never have any problem
with that. But I mean, I don't know, I wish
that more, a little bit more could be done, even
a mode that maybe some new filters that do just
make it look more like the PlayStation. I don't mind
the harder edges with a good CRT filter as opposed
to the kind of weird you know, like you know
the meme of a squall and from Fantasy eight, and
you know, Renoah's like, you're the most handsome guy here
and then they zoom in and he looks like shit.
I like him looking like shit. That's how I want
him to look like. I don't want that shit upreds
or anything like that. The backgrounds, I don't know, they
those do get so weird when you make the games
HD all of a sudden. Yeah, it doesn't look good.
Speaker 2: They were not and fans have done.
Speaker 1: Some things they're like using, you know, like maybe one
of the few good uses of quote unquote AI. I
don't know where you can upreds the background assets at least,
and that has sometimes looked pretty decent, at least in mods.
But I don't know. We'll see. We have no date
on this, we don't have any other details. It's just
going to happen at some point and I'll be curious
to see. But boy, I am ready for fun Fantasy seven.
Do you think we're getting that fom Fantasy seven Part
three remake announcement soonish, by the end of the year,
maybe even much sooner than that.
Speaker 3: Jesse, Well, now that they have remake out of the way,
I think that was like a big thing for them.
It's like we got to get remake on Switch and Xbox.
We got to like do all that and then we
could start thinking about how we're going to market three.
I think if you see remake at this Partner showcase
and it has a date of this year, I don't
think you hear a rebirth. If you hear the rebirth
Switch announcement at the partner showcase. I don't think we
hear about Part three until after that is out. I
think they want to get remake and rebirth on everything
to have it all talked about, and then we'll see
part three, like we'll hear something about it. So it's
either going to be late late this year or like
very early next year. But I think I think it's
going to be a while before we hear about Part three.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited, uh for it. I you know, I
think generally everybody's been really positive on the first two parts.
I know I have been. I think there's been some
questions about the ending of part two. I think like
how this all ends in part three is ultimately how
these games are going to be looked back on in
the decades. The fall, right, they kind of do, you know,
nail the landing on this. All right, everybody, let's take
a quick break. We'll be right back. Let's talk about
We'll talk about Beyond Good and Evil too, right, because uh,
we live in hell. Hey, everyone's game has Morning's me
Mike Manatti stepping in for Jeff grab We got Jesse
Vittelli here, and we're gonna keep going through the news,
including the director assures that Upisoft remains committed to Beyond
Good and Evil To despite recent up heavil and I
forgot to write who wrote this one? I think I
got this one from now I don't know. I gn
let's say.
Speaker 2: Ah the creative direct.
Speaker 1: Creative director of Movies offs Long and development Beyond Good
and Evil To has spoken for the first time since
the company's major reset, reassuring that development of the game
is progressing. Last week, the Assassin Creed publisher announced a
significant organizational restructuring which we'll see its development teams planned
into autonomous creative houses. One of those houses was confirmed
to include Beyond Good and Evil Too, the game that's
now been in development in some form for nearly twenty years.
Its inclusion came as a surprise to some, since Ubisoft's
had seemingly been somewhat ruthless with the decision to cancel
six games, including the remake of Prince of Purga the
Stands of Time. However, Creative director Fozzi Mesmer has now
commented on Beyond Good and Evil Too status for reassuring
this development team remains committed and focused on delivering a
remarkable game for our players to enjoy. And now here's
the quote from LinkedIn. Thank you to everyone who has
reached out to me over the past few days. In
regards to reason who's at Ubisoft, myself, my team, and
our project Beyond Good and Evil Too are unaffected by
the recent changes. I would direct you to the official
press release for information around the latest organizational structure. He
used to say. I am saddened by the cancelations that
has affected my colleagues and other parts of UBISFT in
the industry. I urge everyone, the self included, to offer
support whenever and however they can during these times. We
were may committed and focus on delivering a remarkable game
for our players to enjoy. Beyond Good and Evil To
was originally announced back in two thousand and eight, and
despite a re reveal in twenty seventeen, there's still been
no sign of a release anytime soon. Creator Michael Wnsell
left Ubisoft in twenty twenty, saying he was leaving the
video game industry entirely to focus on a new career
in Wildlife Boy.
Speaker 2: What a paragraph that was.
Speaker 1: Boy, Beyond Good and Evil Too, Jesse, do you believe
this is a video game you are ever going to play?
Speaker 3: Uh? No, I haven't believed it was a video game.
I was ever gonna play from the moment they like
re showed it in like twenty sixteen at E three.
From that moment on, I was like, this is not real.
You're just showing me like ideas y'all have had, and
a bunch of like really good looking concept art and
like some like small gameplay sections, and then you brought
like Joseph Gordon Levin out and like, I super didn't
believe this game was never coming out, and so I
just I don't. I don't believe you. I'm sorry, I
just don't.
Speaker 1: It's so bizarre. By the way, this so sory is
from Andy Robinson ed VGC. What's Andy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because when they re you.
Speaker 1: Know, when that first reveal, it's just beyond good and
evil too, right, And they showed Ja, they showed the
you know, the pig, and it's like the Further Adventures.
I'm like, okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Now. When they re.
Speaker 1: Revealed it, it's like it's a prequel and it's now
the most ambitious video game ever and it's like the
first one didn't sell very well. Why would you make
that bet on this game? Beyond good and able to
should just be a kind of small scale Zelda. Like
that's what the first one was, and it was really neat.
It was right pretty you're blowing.
Speaker 3: It out with the like most high budget CG like
short films. Right. Both of those E three E trailers
were like long and like very involved.
Speaker 1: Right, and now they're like, it's a space pirate game
where you can land on any planet and create any
character that you want, and it's super dynamic and as
the largest cities in any video game, and user created
art assets and all of this stuff that there's no wait, look,
even if this game hadn't been development for twenty years
or something, so there's already so much sunk money into it.
There's no way this game is going to find some
big audience and be a giant hit. It is a
sequel to a game that is a darling of hardcore gamers.
I like it a lot, but it never found an audience.
Why is there any chance that this one is suddenly
going to find some big audience. There's no reason to
believe it.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but if you go back to that
twenty sixteen re reveal, I'm pretty sure what of the
developers calls it a space opera, and I'm like, I
don't think you y'all know what this is.
Speaker 2: I think they've heard.
Speaker 1: I think they've just heard George Lucas called Star Wars
that once, so they just thought that'd be a fun
term to throw around.
Speaker 3: I it's one of those things where it feels like
that's like this is like Scope Creep the game where
it's like they kept having ideas and they kept adding
to it, and they kept building it out, and now
they like are trying to figure out what it is.
And then like Ubisoft is going through all of this
turmoil right now as a company and like making a
lot of bad decisions, and this game has just sort
of like been kicking around and it might be like
a sunk cost fallacy thing where they've just put so
much time and money into it. They're like, we this
has to come out. We can't, we can't abandon this project.
Speaker 1: It is, Yeah, it is shocking that, you know. I
don't want it. I don't want anyone's game to be canceled.
I don't want anybody to lose their job, of course,
But it's just everything that happens that Ubisoft recently It
is just surprising that, like this game is is the
cockroach that just doesn't seem to ever go away. You know,
when that Beyond Good and Evil one Ringmaster came out
last year. The year before they did add in Easter
Riggs teasing Beyond Good and Evil too, and that was
like another like, oh, this that game is still really
gonna come out.
Speaker 2: And by the way, no one seemed to play that remaster.
I did. I liked it.
Speaker 1: I heard no one else talk about it, right, So,
I just don't know where the faith in this one is.
Somebody very high up just must be really into the
idea that this is the game and it's going to
turn around all things. There's no way it comes down
and is actually called Beyond Good and Evil too. I
gotta say that, right, Like at this point you really
call this.
Speaker 3: Game, right, just calld and evil and you just you
just live in a world where there's two of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always like the too festive, fious, too good, too
evil to may now we're talking. Also, it's a prequel actually, right,
an adult Jade does show up?
Speaker 2: Maybe, God, there's that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it with Adult Jade and Page the Pig
was like, oh, my god, it's it is Jade. And
by the way, as much as I liked Beyond Good
Evil One, the game like then has an awful ending
where it turns out Jade has a super magical destiny.
I'm like, great, very exciting stuff.
Speaker 3: When was the last time we saw this game? Was
it twenty like seventeen or twenty eighteen pre COVID.
Speaker 2: There were two.
Speaker 1: I don't think we've seen anything new about this game
post COVID. They've talked about it, and technically there's the
hits that they added in the remaster in terms of
like the last time is like, now, let's talk about
a real video game and show you some new assets.
The trailer gameplay that we showed that has been a
long long time coming. Boy, I don't know. I worry
about Ubisoft. I know a lot of this is of
their own making, but they just employ so many people
over there, and they're restructuring, which is roofless and it's
I think the pain is going to continue, and I
just don't know if I believe there is sunshine at
the end of this tunnel. How about you? Jesse?
Speaker 3: No, And I know I've been incredibly negative, but during
this segment about this game because I don't think it's real.
But like at the end of I do want this
game to come out. I do want it to be good.
Like this game looks everything they've shown look sick. I
just don't believe it's a like playable video game, you
know what I mean? Yeah, exactly, And it's just been
It's one of those games where you hear about it
for years and then it goes away, and then you
hear about it again and like an earnings call or something,
and it's like, what happened in the ten years since
we've seen this game again to now? And is it
like we're running out of those games in this industry
where it's like, oh, this game has been in development
for so long and so many like like we just
had Metro Prime four, which is like almost a ten
year like developments. Like we're running out of those games.
But Beyond Good and Evil Too is one of those
few that are left that kind of just keep kicking around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know a lot of these games that do
feel like, oh, they're never gonna happen, they somehow do happen.
We did get METROI Prime for a week all of
Night's Silk Song is now almost own news, right after
years and years and years of that's not a real
video game.
Speaker 3: Now it's not a shen MoU three. We got it,
shen Mo three.
Speaker 1: That happened. So you know a lot of people seem
to think Halfway three is on the table again. So
everything happens eventually, So maybe something happens with this one.
But I don't know if it's if they couldn't figure
out how to remake Prince of Persia the Sands of Time, right,
how do you figure this out? I just I don't.
I don't have much.
Speaker 2: Faith, all right.
Speaker 1: Nintendo issues correction over leaked Nintendo Switch Online GameCube games.
This is from Chris Comban dio at GameSpot. A Walmart
advertisement showing two unannounced GameCube games coming to nintentn Switch
Online was actually a mistake from Nintendo itself. The two
titles aren't playing for the service as of yet. After
Walmart's Attendo pages splayed a graphic including Metro Prime two
Echoes and Pigment two, and the Attendo of America spokesperson
told IGN that it provided a retailer with an image
of Nintendo GameCube tender Classic titles that incorrectly included games
that are not planned for release at this time. The
image has since been removed. Okay, so not Walmart's fault.
It was Nintendo who provided a wrong image. But where
did this image come from? Is Batos right? I mean,
I guess, first off, do you believe them? Do you
think that like these games aren't somewhat imminent for GameCube? Nso?
And that's the part of reason that they're on there,
And it's not just a matter of like, oh, we
put those on there before we announce them.
Speaker 3: I I'm kind of in two minds of it, right,
because like I see the world in which like a
freelance graphic design person or like just some design person
at Nintendo was like, hey, we need these assets to
go out to retailers, and they grabbed a bunch of
stuff and maybe they put something in there that they
weren't supposed to. Like, like I could see the world
in which like a chain of command just like misses
something like this, and it makes it out because it
happens all the time for other places. But also it's
Nintendo who's like very meticular was about these types of
things and is very specific about the marketing materials that
they put out, and so it's also like that image
exists for a reason, and I just don't like like
it's a it's in a drive somewhere because at some
point those games will eventually make it to the system,
right right, because they're not like niche games.
Speaker 1: No, they're big game cubes. There's something there's caveats to
both of them. Like Pickman one and two have already
been released on Switch. They kind of got you know, ports,
they are not they aren't too different from rams, but
they are enhanced in some ways. And Metroid Prime two,
everybody wants that game to be remastered like Metro Prime
one was, and you know, there were reports that that
that had been done and they just aren't releasing it.
So I think for a lot of people just having
a rom of that game on GameCube nso and being
stuck with the old tank controls and not having you know,
forget about the graphics of remaster. Maybe it's not going
to look as good as that, but just the new
control systems of the other quality of life stuff that
seems that seems a little bit rough.
Speaker 2: There have you spending a lot of time with game
Cube andso.
Speaker 3: Almost zero mm, because I have a game cube in
my living room, but I have.
Speaker 1: I like three game cubes in mind. I was thick though,
so I've.
Speaker 3: Been spending a lot of time playing like actual GameCube.
But then Nintendo Switch operatings are good. They just they're
drip feeding them like it's it feels slower than all
of the other things that they've done. And maybe just
because the catalog is so much smaller that they're they
already have out, but it feels like before we got
what was the most recently, just before that, it was
like it was like that random Warrior game, and then
before that it felt like it was forever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, wait a second, I'm a big Warrior World
Defender game.
Speaker 3: That wasn't that wasn't a knock against Warrio.
Speaker 1: I want to be very okay.
Speaker 3: I just mean like it wasn't in the I don't
remember it being in the slate of games when they.
Speaker 1: Originally You're right, Yes, you're right. I was surprised that
we got that one as soon as we did at first. Sure,
because yeah, there's other ones that they've announced that are coming,
like including Sunshine. Yeah we got the that makes sense
because yeah, both there's two there's causing Gale of Darkness,
and those are cool because those are very expensive games,
so just having them on there. The fire on them
was too. Yeah, putting fire them on there was really
cool to see. I think that the emulation is feels
pretty good now. It still feels really bad on Windwaker
to me for some reason, I definitely have had the
most fun with it, like on Launch, playing Soul Caliber
two with friends of that game is still incredible. But yeah,
I definitely want more game Cube innisult games coming out
bit faster.
Speaker 2: I hope.
Speaker 1: I hope we see some third party stuff showing up there. Hey,
you know what would be a good one for that
service now, the Prince of Persia, the Sands of Time.
Speaker 2: That'd be great. We should do that now.
Speaker 3: I'd like to see Ari four chaw controller.
Speaker 2: In Virtual Boy.
Speaker 3: They could do anything at this point. Sell me all
the old peripheries.
Speaker 1: That's fine, man, you gotta give us some beautiful Joe,
all right. Yakiza Kiwami three Studio says the full game
won't have the graphical issues being reported the demo. This
is by Chris going in at VGC down for the
upcoming Yakaza three remake was released last week, but players
soon started posting screenshots and videos showing examples of poor
lighting in the game, most notably during one river area. Now,
the studio has posted a statement on x in which
it has assured players that's aware of the issues and
we'll fix them in time for the games released on
February twelve. This is a quote. Now, we have heard
concerns from players regarding graphical issues and other problems present
in the downloadable demo for Yakiza Kiwami three and Dark Ties.
Rest assured the graphical quality of the demo does not
represent the final experience. We plan to have a version
one point one to one patch of bill Butt launch
which will address the lighting issue and other quality concerns
in the full game. One specific example is visual lighting
issues around the Kubachi River area and the downtown Real
qu area, which many of you have already pointed out.
This patch won'tclude on just fixes for the issues that
Dan Fight above, but many other improvements. Look forward to
sharing the final version of Yakiza Kwami three and Dark
Ties with our global audience on February twelve.
Speaker 2: Worth noting out.
Speaker 1: That another issue people have with this game is that
Kawami three has an actor in it that has a
history of sexual mis conduct, a ta Yuki Kagawa, and
they have not said anything about that, so it seems
like we are stuck with that weirdness.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't know, justin maybe they fix this issue, maybe
it still looks pretty bad. I am not sensing too
much excitement for this particular Yakiza game.
Speaker 3: No, It's it's like, okay, sure, maybe they fix this
one particular thing, but it's like this game has been
like death by a thousand cuts. They just keep stepping
in it, and they keep making decisions that they don't
need to make, and like, I know, Yakiza three is
like a kind of a contentious game in this series.
It's people don't love the gameplay of it, but like
it is like retroactively become like an incredibly important aim
in that franchise because it deals so much with like
Kiriu and the children and the orphanage and all of that,
And like I personally love three a lot, and it
feels like every decision they make with this remake is
just like I don't like, what are we doing? Like
why why does it look like this? Why are you
casting this person, like why are you changing these things?
And I'm not like a purist by any means, but
it just feels like they're making a series of bad
decisions and them going, we're gonna fix some of the
graphical stuff. It's not actually gonna fix the problems with
that remake. And that's like where I'm at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even like this graphical stuff, like, yeah, there's
probably patches. I'm sure the demo's not based on the
latest build. This game comes out on February twelve. Yeah,
that is very soon. So you know, that is so
soon that at a point when a demo has some issues,
I'm not expecting the full release to be squeaky clean.
Speaker 3: No. I think there's just like a lot of problems
with this game, and I don't think like one or
two patch is gonna be able to fix the like
just inherent misunderstanding. I think of what this thing is
and what people enjoyed about this thing was just weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about because I'm someone who hasn't really jumped
into the Yakuza series very much. It's you know, someday
I would like to, you know, start with zero and
then we're my way through the kiwammis. But uh yeah,
I just uh, I don't want to be bummed out
when I get to this one. Are are you hopeful
that they do continue?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: I got I guess I doesn't know much. Is yak
is a four a beloved one that people are desperate
to see a remake of?
Speaker 3: I know people really like five, and obviously six is
already like good, like it's already where it's at. I
don't think I think three is like the last one
that needs to be touched, especially if this is the
way we're gonna touch three, just just be done with it.
We're good. Tajarr heads up in the air and say
we're okay, We're done here.
Speaker 1: All right. Goog has responded to Kataki regarding AI banner
ad art and you saw this, Yeah yeah. Goog for
their like for recent sale had this really ugly obviously
AI generated artwork. Uh there's like a melting Super Nintendo
on it. Those Yeah, it's it's gross. A gog spokesperson
declined to confirm that the art was generated using AI
tools it was, but told Kataku the company is aware
of the discussions happening online. Here's the full statement at
this time. We won't be able to comment publicly on
our internal process. As our tools, however, we're aware of
the conversations happening around the topic and the assumptions that
can go with it. What the hell does that mean?
Speaker 3: What are we talking about?
Speaker 2: Tell me you're not gonna do it. I can tell
me it was AI and you won't do it again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just say my bad goat and then be done
with it.
Speaker 2: You're yeah, you're geog.
Speaker 1: You're a niche online gaming store for kind of the
most like hardcore retro loving or PC and enthusiasts, the
people who are going to be the most inclined to
hate this shit. It's so far. I usually love GG,
especially somebody who likes your old point click adventure games
like this is the place I gotta go for a
lot of that stuff. And usually I'm happy to go there.
And you know, I know that they have you know,
there are probably a smaller team now right it was
CD Project Red who owned them and not anymore so.
The resources might be limited. I don't care. Go hire
an artist to make a banner art, and if you can't,
then don't have banner art. Then have a have text
up there that says, if you're twenty twenty six, sail,
don't do this shit. It's so fucking gross and ugly
and it just makes your store look unprofessional and lame.
Oooh yeah, yeah, exactly. There you go. Boo. All right,
those are our news stories. But we've got a couple
other things here. We've got we've got the we got
the pole question and the bomb twelve. What what does
it usually do first? The poll question or bomb twel oh, Jan,
I don't know how, like, what do you want to
do first? I guess I want to do in the show.
I want to do the poll first. And the poll
here says how do you feel about game key cards?
I'm going to vote and say, uh.
Speaker 2: I don't. I hate saying.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I don't care. I don't really buy
m physical games anymore. And a lot of people agree
with me. That one is, Yeah, that one's tied with
I still won't buy one of forty three percent, and
then much lower thirty percent is I still don't like it,
but I have bought one or more. So uh, there
you go. It seems like, yeah, were there you say
you're with me on that one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't I don't have space for physical games anymore.
Like I have the shelf behind me that's got some
stuff on it, and then I have like a small
little TV stand that's got some stuff, but that's it.
Like I don't have space to keep buying physical games.
So I don't care about key game key cards because
it doesn't affect me, you know what I mean. Like,
I'm not somebody who's buying physical games. I'm upset that
people who like physical games don't have access because game
key cards are like this weird thing that we're doing. However,
I just don't care. I got other things out in
my life I gotta worry about. Yeah, Parker not high
on the list.
Speaker 1: And now I'm going to ask for the next pull.
Will surprise Jeff with this one. Are you excited about
Nintendo's twenty twenty six lineup?
Speaker 2: So far?
Speaker 1: Your options everybody are just yes and no. Okay, let's
do that now, Oh yes, let's do the bomb twelve then, everybody,
this is exciting stuff. This is showing you. I'm gonna
really like you to gainst this because I know for
me personally, this has been a time January of going
back to a lot of older games even games from
last year or beyond. It's been sort of a slow January,
and I have enjoyed that quite a bit, so I'm
curious what everyone else has been getting up to. And
I see here now. Number twelve actually is the Outer
World's two, so still hanging on it seems like it
seems like it's dropping a bit all night. Silk Song
still there at eleven. That was my game of the
year last year. Absolutely loved it. Hadis two at ten.
Those two seem to make a duo of very high
profile indie games from last year. Number number nine is
No Rest for the Wicked. They recently did a four
player co op update for that one, I believe, yeah,
And I think it's even on sale on Steam the
last time I look. So yeah, a lot of people
have been playing that one. Goshpard of me like wants
to play it because I liked Ori so much. But boy,
the guy who rents that studio is.
Speaker 3: Just can't stop he shutting the fuck up. Is free, man,
It's so free.
Speaker 1: He is insufferable. Ghost so yo te Yeah, it makes
it another big release from last year. But I think
a lot of people are you know, getting to now
or finishing up or spending more time with one that
I still feel bad about not having started. And yet
uh clips clip Scare Expission thirty three. You know obviously
big game last year. People still playing that one. Six
is Arc Knights End Field.
Speaker 3: What I think it's a gotcha game?
Speaker 1: What is Arc Knight's End Field? Yes, it is.
Speaker 3: I don't mean that derogatory.
Speaker 1: I think it is.
Speaker 3: It is. It's like a is it a gotcha deck Builder?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Not deck builder. That's the other one is the management sim.
Speaker 1: I gotcha Victorio. Okay, okay, okay, all right?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 1: Uh, number five is High Guard, which you know, hey,
that's that's that is a show for it.
Speaker 2: I'm curious.
Speaker 1: I'll be curious if it's six around next week. Have
you like completely written off High Guard, Jesse, you think
this game has as a shot here or.
Speaker 3: I am currently in the midst of reviewing High Guard,
and so I have to play more of it. I
have played some of it because I've been busy with
the different thing. Uh. I like what I've played. It
feels like a good foundation. But that's what it feels like,
which is a foundation for like more so, I don't
know if it's gonna stick around short term, but like
they might feels like a game that's prime for like
in like four months to have like a sick update
that's like, oh, here's all this year's like so much
more and it's like, oh, we we have this really
cool idea and now we've expanded it out. That's what
that feels like.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a game that gets an update
that's just like now here's a more normal battle rayale?
Speaker 2: Though, because I at the BET that's part of me.
Speaker 1: That's just I don't like this current game mode with
the different phases and I don't know the it feels
a little too structured to me right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very rigid in that way where it's like
I wish there was more malleability between the phases where
it's like, Okay, you can do this phase or you
can skip this phase and go straight into the other
one by just like finding the enemy team and just
start fighting them and like be done with it. But
it is weird that it's like two minutes, Okay, now
we're gonna like wait another two minutes and then and
then like we're gonna teleport over here and do this
part of the map and then it's a very weird game.
Speaker 1: And for our visual viewers. Look, I didn't make this Listen,
I know high Guards one word don't play me at a.
Number four is Border's Gate three. You know this game
is always being played by a lot of people. I
wonder why it popped off in the Bomb twelve again recently.
I don't know if there's been a sale or some
kind of update or something like that. Yeah, yeah, I
mean it's a good game. I like Borderskate three a lot.
All right, here's our top three. Three is Meo Memories
in Orbit. This is the new Metroid Vina. I know
our own Chuck Toowski likes this one a lot. I
still plan to start it at some point. I am
a big bittroy Venue fan. Have you checked this one
out at all, Jesse?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I played about the first like five or six hours
of it earlier this month, and I really enjoyed what
I played. It was one of those games where I
started to see, oh, like, I could I see what
this game is gonna start asking of me, like platforming
wise and fighting wise, and I really was interested in
all of that. But I just got sidetracked with other stuff.
So I've have a feeling this game is going to
be the classic end of year. I'm going to say
I want to get back to it, and I never
actually get back around to it. But yeah, in the
class that I am upset that I did not get
back to.
Speaker 1: Number two is Deadlock. This is Valves kind of shooter
mobile thing that isn't actually out yet. It's still in
early access.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: People have been talking about this one a lot more
again recently. I believe we're going to be checking it
out on upf later today. Yeah, see what the state
of this one is. I'm excited to play some more
