So that's about it's I also did 55 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.520 a demo impressions on a game that I'm also reviewing. 56 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.199 I'm not going to talk about it because technically we're 57 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.400 not so they don't want us to talk about any 58 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.520 part of the game. But I did a demo impressions 59 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.639 for a big Helmet Hero So if you want to 60 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.520 go check that out on Ada Haven, I have the 61 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.639 link in the description. Did you do your review for 62 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.280 Ubert on PC? 63 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.039 Yeah, I submitted it yesterday, but a problem up for 64 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:08.360 a few days. 65 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.879 All right, I'll check on that while we're doing the 66 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.120 show here. So with that said, let's go ahead and 67 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:20.560 get going here with the Xbox Developer Directs twenty twenty five. Addition, 68 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.160 I think this is probably the best one. I know, 69 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.240 there's not a lot to go on. They've only had 70 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.399 three of these, but as far as like the quality 71 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:34.680 of games, giving you firm reduces on three of the four. 72 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.839 Three of the four are coming out pretty quickly here 73 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:45.399 and the winter to spring ish time. Yeah, the big surprise, 74 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.720 like I said, was Ninja gutten four, which, hey, credit 75 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.959 to you. You you're the one that said it was 76 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.480 probably going to be a Ninja Guiding and not only 77 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.439 Ninja Guidi four, but also Ninja Got Into Black, which 78 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:04.480 is basically a remaster of Ninja Gaiden two but now 79 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:08.040 done in a real unreal five with spicy graphics. And 80 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.240 then this is the definitive edition Ninja Gotten two now, 81 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.800 which obviously those of you that have heard I did 82 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.839 a review with the master collection that released. It is 83 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.680 also on game Pass that has the Sigma one and two, 84 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.839 which are considered inferior versions of Ninja Gaiden. They're the, 85 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.199 like I guess, easier versions of the game. So if 86 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.519 you want to play, which you can buy Ninja guid 87 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.600 in the original, the Xbox Original Ninja Goayden Black on 88 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.519 Xbox for like it's on sale for five bucks right now. 89 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.720 So if you want to go playing Ninja Gouden one 90 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.319 black and then also build playing Ninja Gotten two Black, 91 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.399 you could do that. It was cool that we got 92 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.879 that shadow drop on game pass. But what do you 93 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.959 think of what they showed in Ninja Gotten four with 94 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.160 any protagonists and. 95 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.199 All that that looked good? Like that takes you kind 96 00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.920 of the highlight for me because you know Platinum's doing it. Uh, 97 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.639 you know, it looks like good Platinum, not bad Platinum. 98 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:04.160 Uh. 99 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.240 Yeah, it's it's extremely in their real house, you know, 100 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.720 Revengeance or Near or you know, even Vanquished for an extent, 101 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.240 so looks good. Like one of the bosses really looked 102 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.040 like Near also because it was like some female looking 103 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.000 robot with like red interview spears coming out of it. 104 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.480 I'm like, yep, I know what Platinum this is. Uh, 105 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:26.879 you know, I don't really care about the the hero 106 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.959 necessarily because I'm sure like it'll be different. You know, 107 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.240 it's not gonna be like, oh, pick pick whatever hero 108 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.000 you want to. You know, switch between both of them different, 109 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.399 you know, depending on the story's dope. 110 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.040 At first, I thought I was like, Okay, are they 111 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.040 gonna do the the rating version of this? So we're 112 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.560 just gonna not be around for ten years and then 113 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.319 we're gonna come out with a new protagonist that nobody knows, 114 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.399 uh right, kind of weird to do that. And then 115 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.800 you know, later in the trailer, they're like, oh, yeah, 116 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.720 you're gonna play high boos as well, and they should 117 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.839 offer you know, his typical big moves, and I was 118 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.959 all in after that. I mean, it looks really flashy. Yeah, 119 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.759 so that's all I need to know exactly. That's that's 120 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:18.120 what you definitely need to know that he did. Some 121 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.279 of the bosses look awesome as well, and then hey, 122 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.879 you know, it definitely looks like it's going to have 123 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.079 more of that Platinum Games kind of flair with the 124 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.759 Tim Tim Team Ninja kind of neo influences there too, 125 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.000 So I'm sure it still has the flashy combat and 126 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.160 maybe it's a little bit slowed down compared to you know. 127 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:42.720 Yeah, it looks faster. I mean that's what they were 128 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.399 kind of HARKing on, which is fine. You know, Yeah, 129 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:46.959 as long as I did. 130 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.199 I mean, that's what matters. But I think definitely it's 131 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.399 gonna be good. I don't think we need to necessarily 132 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.279 worry about that too much. It has the English voice 133 00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.439 acting as well, which is cool. So yeah, Fall Lives. 134 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.720 I'm sure we'll get the release date probably like during 135 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.000 the summer showcase thing. 136 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.839 By then, the story kind of made me chuckle because 137 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.160 they're like, oh, Tokyo was in ruins because the Dark 138 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.480 Dragon is raining or whatever, and yeah, what's the rest 139 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.720 of the world look like? Could be funny for the 140 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.120 rest of worlds is like, fine. 141 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.720 The dark rot or whatever is happening there. 142 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:25.680 In the rain. Yeah, but it'd be funny. I like, 143 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.879 all the rest of the world is like fine, you know, 144 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.679 definitely right, Ah yeah, look good. 145 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.919 Yeah that's gonna be on game Pass as well, so 146 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.200 you know, at first, I thought this was gonna be 147 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.840 kind of like last year where Visions Amana was shown 148 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.759 and it was not Game Pass, which I think is 149 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.519 the first the only time so far in the three 150 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.679 years that they've had a game that was shown that 151 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:50.639 wasn't Game Pass. 152 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:51.440 Uh. 153 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.720 And I mean, as you got into okay, I kind 154 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.960 of understand because that was all originally that you know, 155 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.440 that was an Xbox game that then got poured it 156 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.799 over to P three and then they show that Xbox 157 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:07.399 is publishing Ninja Gaiden four, so it's like okay, And apparently, 158 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.799 according to Phil Spencer during his one of the interviews, 159 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.279 he said, you know, this is why he was going 160 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.639 to Japan, was they were actually kind of you know, 161 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.159 trying to get everybody together with quotech went on Team 162 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:19.600 Ninja and Platinum. 163 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.320 To be able to do this right. 164 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.360 Yeah, he said it started the way back in twenty seventeen, 165 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.399 so not sure when the actual dev cycle started, but 166 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.960 the fact that they started like talking and everything all 167 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.679 the way back then, that's kind of crazy that they 168 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.240 were able to keep this kind of secret for so long, 169 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.279 both of these games really and like not have any 170 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.279 of it leak. I mean, yes, there were people that 171 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.759 were really speculating that it was going to be Ninja 172 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.159 Gaiden as we got closer and stuff like that, but 173 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.759 it was never like, oh it's leaked. It's officially this right, 174 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.879 which is very rare nowadays. So pretty cool for them 175 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:03.720 to kind of be able to keep that under wraps. 176 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.600 And then I felt bad for Southam Midnight to come 177 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.799 after two really flashy games. 178 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.120 So I did. I actually just watched this direct like 179 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:16.879 an hour ago or an hour and a half ago. 180 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.519 I think that game looks bad. And there's two reasons why. 181 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.519 I think the stop motion cinematics are kind of iffy, 182 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:29.360 let's say, compared to like the extual gameplay. And like, 183 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.600 I guess this is the first time I kind of 184 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.559 really watched the gameplay and like what they're kind of 185 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.039 trying to say, it reminds me, do you ever play uh, 186 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.360 Imagine and the Forsaken Kingdom? 187 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.360 Yeah, I played that for a little bit. 188 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.360 It reminded me a little of that, but the big game, 189 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.200 but the big game. This game reminds me of his 190 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.039 first spoken or yeah for spoken. 191 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.320 Yeah, a lot of people were saying they're spoken. 192 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.000 But that's not good, Like I mean, I mean, but 193 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:56.000 the comment. 194 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.919 Doesn't seem like forst spoken. It feels like people are 195 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.120 saying for spoken because it has the black. 196 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.320 I mean that that's partially like the uh you know, 197 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.600 black main actress or main character, like kind of being 198 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.799 sucked it from the real world into like the santasy world. Yeah, 199 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.279 a chunk, but like even like it's not really the 200 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.240 Parkore but like the combat was very sport for spoken, 201 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.960 like the fact that you had this like, ah, what 202 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.559 was it crawfish or some type of fish thing. 203 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.440 Yeah, yeah, the catfish that you kind of ride around. 204 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.279 That's like the imagining thing to me because you had 205 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.240 to like doling guy in that thing who was like 206 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:40.759 the combat basically in that thing. But like it's like this, okay, like. 207 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.360 Yeah, they, I mean I can kind of see that 208 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.919 as well. I don't necessarily I don't think you're gonna 209 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:49.960 get the at least I don't know if you're gonna 210 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.639 get the the thing with the cuff and the main 211 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:59.600 character that was kind but yeah, definitely, I don't think 212 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.279 they is probably this game strong suit. I'm gonna be honest, 213 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.320 Like it does look kathered. I'm like, okay, you're just 214 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.120 like walking up to the character. You're gonna do some 215 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.799 kind of flashy moves stuff like that. The bosses do 216 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.519 look cool, which I think is neat like the whole 217 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.480 like I think you're coming to this for the characters, 218 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:22.240 the whole atmosphere around at the folklore. Maybe the story 219 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.360 is gonna be good when it's all said and done. 220 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.919 I don't necessarily think the combat is gonna be the 221 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.559 most notable thing about this game. It's also apparently really 222 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:33.639 it's also kind of a shorter game. It's also like 223 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.159 eight to ten hours, so, which I think is better 224 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.840 for compulsion, because you know, we know what happened with 225 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.600 We Have a Few. They kind of trying to make 226 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.600 that game much longer than they probably should have been, 227 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.759 and that kind of hurt it. The longer you're playing 228 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.720 that game, the more you see its faults. So yeah, 229 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.639 if they kind of keep this snappy and they don't 230 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.480 sit there and try to have you do like bazilion 231 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.559 side quests and whatever and get you through to the 232 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.399 story that they want to tell, I think that will 233 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.679 keep it from that. I think that would keep it 234 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.440 like around still a good game or you know, very 235 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.360 good game, instead of being what happened when We Have 236 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.360 a Few necessarily. 237 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.320 So right, even the contrast didn't like blow the doors 238 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:24.919 off or you know, yeah, no. 239 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.840 It didn't either, you're right about that, which that was 240 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.200 another one that like looked really cool and everything is 241 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.559 just yeah, the gameplay was kind of right. Then after that, 242 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:40.399 they showed us a lot of France to show us 243 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:45.840 the mansion that their standphone Interactive is making clear Obscure 244 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:51.080 Expedition thirty three, which obviously is the RPG inspired by 245 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.039 Final Fantasy and other j RPGs. This is also apparently 246 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.240 not it's got a budget price on it, and it's 247 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:03.080 a you know, it's not a fifty sixty hour game 248 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.399 that you're used to with these you know, RPGs. It's 249 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.440 a much shorter game like supposed to be like thirty 250 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.159 hours twenty five to thirty hours, which uh, you know, honestly, 251 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.080 with with all the big long games that we had 252 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.639 last year and stuff like that, I'm I welcome a 253 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.679 shorter RPG that I may be able to actually finish. 254 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.159 It still looks cool. 255 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:27.840 Uh. 256 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.759 The story is obviously, I think for me like really intriguing. 257 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.559 That's what's gonna grab me. They showed a lot of 258 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.080 the like systems that are in there, like there's a 259 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.200 whole menu of like passive abilities of early that you can. 260 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.200 Put on that looked really nuts or like, yeah, this 261 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.639 looks overwhelming. 262 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.559 Like because I mean definitely you can tell like the 263 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.039 there's double A influences in here, like you know some 264 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.080 of that some of this stuff kind of doesn't look 265 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.519 as crisp as say you know, we're gonna talk You're 266 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.320 gonna talk about rebirth later. That maybe isn't going to 267 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.480 hit that, but still, I think if they can deliver 268 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:07.080 a great experience. I also like the like Baboon party 269 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.320 member that they kind of add here at the end too. 270 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.879 He looks kind of cool. So yeah, I'm down for 271 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.480 this game. I was excited the first time we saw it. 272 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.279 See more of it. I wonder how big, like the 273 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.559 actual like exploring in the world is going to be, 274 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.519 because you know, again people are kind of used to 275 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.200 like these Is it going to be more like open zone. 276 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.120 It's just like we're just seeing a small part of 277 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.919 this and it's not necessarily this you know, big huge 278 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.120 world or whatever. I'm interested to see, like when we 279 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.639 get to the actual game, how much more of this? 280 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.440 And then obviously the combat is it's awesome if it 281 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.440 actually you know, delivers on how cool it actually looks 282 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:51.759 when we play. 283 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.639 It, you know. So yeah, yeah, I'm excited for that too, 284 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:57.480 Like you know, he's like thirty or forty hours. That 285 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:58.120 should be good. 286 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:06.279 For sure. So aside, you know, then they ended everything 287 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:11.559 with Doom the Dark Ages, which is a prequel to 288 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:16.080 Dune twenty sixteen and Doom Maternal, and then they kind 289 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.840 of showed off that this game is the antithesis of 290 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:26.559 both of those games. It's good. Yeah, well, Doom Maternal 291 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.720 was really good. It's just I think a lot of 292 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.080 people didn't. The reason why I think they went in 293 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.759 the direction that they went in for this game is 294 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.360 that there's a lot of people complaining about it was 295 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.480 too fast, too much jumping. They didn't want to be 296 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:48.799 doing that necessarily. And then you know, you get the 297 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.480 the like the whole story thing and the background to 298 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:58.559 that and everything else, which I thought that looked really cool. 299 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.279 They showed up off the mech dragon thing that you're 300 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:08.000 gonna be able to ride in this, which looks pretty awesome. 301 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.839 Anything you see you said it like that. The reason 302 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.720 why is that it's gonna be good. Why you say 303 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.200 it's gonna be. 304 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.319 I don't like any I don't think I feel like 305 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.279 any Doom, like maybe like the first one, like the 306 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:21.839 Super Nintendo. I mean that's what I played it on. 307 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.279 But like I didn't like doing twenty sixteen at all. 308 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.759 I think I like, stop playing it with like a 309 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:29.839 half hour or maybe like an hour. I'm like, this 310 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.039 is kind of boring to me. You know, I didn't 311 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.680 play Eternal. Their whole context sensitive thing seems a little 312 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.799 weird in this one. For the shield, like, and they 313 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.960 think they have like three melee weapons and they don't. 314 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.240 Functionally they all kind of like look like they were 315 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.119 doing the same thing, so it's like, why do you 316 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:51.039 why even't have this? You know, and when you throw 317 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.200 out the shield, it reminded me of like the razor 318 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:58.759 wind from to Rok to fair Enough. Yeah, that's a 319 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:03.319 timely reference, I'm sure, but you know, I guess it. 320 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.359 It looks fine, I guess, but I just don't like 321 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.519 their way, you know, their brand of like first person shooter. 322 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.880 Necessarily we'll see, and if it has Ramire's head't it, 323 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:15.200 I mean, I may give it a shot, but. 324 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.440 Fair enough. I mean, I know it's not for everybody. 325 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.519 I'm kind of on the other side where I really 326 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.799 enjoy Doom. So let's see how if this one strikes 327 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.599 that perfect balance where like Eternal was really well liked, 328 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:32.920 but you know, the fast game plan and it didn't 329 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.039 necessarily work everybody, And in twenty sixteen was kind of 330 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.960 liked as well. But I don't remember getting like a 331 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.880 lot of the press the Eternal did. Obviously, Eternal is 332 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.400 kind of also more well known because it was along 333 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.880 with Animal Crossing, was like the first game that came 334 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.680 out when the pandemic police started. We were all sitting 335 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:57.759 at the house, so you know that that's kind of 336 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:01.680 a thing as well. But I think, role, where where 337 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.839 did you sit with this? Like as far as like 338 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.880 I guess a showcase? Did you like how they do 339 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.839 it them talking to the devs telling you things? 340 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:13.240 And yeah, it was fine. I guess I would prefer, 341 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.759 you know, maybe like one or two more games and 342 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:20.160 then shorter sequences or so shorter thing. You know. Ah, 343 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:22.559 the way they filmed it was kind of weird, like 344 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:25.559 especially the first part, I don't know, they did it 345 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.160 a few more times, like they hit that like really 346 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.000 weird close up, like slow mo close up. 347 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.920 Yeah, they love those. I don't know why they think 348 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:38.880 that's cool. Yeah, you know, it's like we're trying to 349 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:41.440 We're trying to make it seem like they're going out 350 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.920 there to play some football game or something, right, and 351 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.920 it's like, yo, they're literally just walking to go to 352 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.440 their computer. It's like, I mean, you're you're trying to 353 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.559 It's it's not that cool, right, but I guess they 354 00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:58.599 have to spruce it up right. 355 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.200 Times. 356 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.880 You can tell, especially like the Dune guys made fun 357 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.839 of it obviously that they were kind of like reading 358 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.799 from a script. They're not just like off the cuff 359 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:12.400 giving you their thoughts. It's kind of obviously like written 360 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.599 for them to say this and this and this, and 361 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.480 then we're trying to, you know, have it fit in 362 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.119 this night neat Little Bow of Black forty five ish minutes. 363 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.240 They really went long on the Ninja of Guiding part too. 364 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.920 There's times where it's like they're redoing the same footage 365 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:30.839 again because. 366 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:32.839 Yeah, they didn't need to like have like five minutes 367 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.519 to vote it to a Ninja Guide in two Black 368 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:36.960 either it's okay, yeah this is out a trailer and 369 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.440 like hate this out now. Yeah, didn't talk about it 370 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.279 for five minutes it to Ue Engine five, and I 371 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:45.119 mean I get it. 372 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.920 I get in a way they wanted to kind of 373 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.880 show off the whole like, okay, this was really redone. 374 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:54.119 It wasn't just you know, oh, we didn't just port 375 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.079 this thing over here or or just kind of like oh, 376 00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:58.960 slap some things on her here so we can call 377 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.200 it Ninja, gutten too, Black at right, they really did 378 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:05.279 spend some time with it or whatever, So I kind 379 00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:07.279 of get that. And then also the whole like sometimes 380 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.240 people there's a lot of talk and the whole console 381 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.920 Warris stuff about like oh, Xbox Series can't really do 382 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.200 under Real Engine five and all that stuff, And I 383 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.000 think that was kind of them trying to be like, oh, 384 00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.480 yes we can, here we go. You know, I don't 385 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.599 know about Series US doing a lot of great stuff 386 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.880 with that, but at least you know, a Series X 387 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.799 definitely can handle it. So I mean, I thought for 388 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.480 sure this was a this was like a nine out 389 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:35.880 of ten showcase for the forty five minutes. You got 390 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.160 Boom boom boom. Four games. I'm excited for all of them. 391 00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:43.319 You've got April eighth, April twenty fourth, May fifteenth, back 392 00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:47.640 to back to back. Basically interesting that they chose to 393 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.359 like make the gap shorter between I mean I understand 394 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:55.359 that clear obscure. Maybe they don't necessarily control when it 395 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:58.920 comes out because it's a third party technically, but well, 396 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:01.920 so you know, so nin and Black so right, Benager, 397 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:03.559 gut and Blackhead, that's in the fall. I mean, they 398 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.319 still got they said that it's like what eighty percent 399 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.200 done or something like that, they still got time to 400 00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:12.160 cook on that, but they do control South and Midnight 401 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.480 and Doom, and it's like, it's weird that you left 402 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.559 the shortest amount of time between South of between the 403 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.160 RPG that takes around thirty to forty hours to Doom 404 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:25.720 instead of doing it the way around where it's like, 405 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.240 if South and Midnight supposed to be like eight to 406 00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.119 ten hours, I would have made the gap shorter between 407 00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:35.200 South and Midnight and Doom instead of clare obscure and 408 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:36.920 give you a little bit more time if you want 409 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:39.119 to go. People to go day one on all of those. 410 00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:43.160 But definitely, I mean that's good that in the time 411 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:45.680 that we're still waiting on what's gonna happen. I mean, 412 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:50.400 we're gonna know what announced by then for Nintendo in 413 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:53.559 the switch to but while we're sitting there waiting for 414 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:57.519 when that console's going to release, this stuff and Xboxes already, 415 00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.640 Xbox is really going to be the talk of the town. 416 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.480 I feel like this this year with you got a 417 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.279 vowed Defebrary eighteenth, then you don't have to wait that 418 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:09.400 long before you get sought the Midnight. There might be 419 00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:13.000 something else in between there as well in March, and 420 00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:17.319 then uh, you know, you get Claire Obscurer and Doom 421 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.599 after and you still got let's see what happens with Fable, 422 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.920 Let's see what happens with Gears E Day. I don't 423 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.880 think I would be astonished if both those games come 424 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.640 out this year. I think I think one of them. 425 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.440 I think one of them is getting delayed. It feels like, 426 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.680 do you need to have every Yeah? Yeah, do you 427 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:41.400 need to have every banger coming out this year? I 428 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.880 don't necessarily think you do. There is a report going 429 00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:47.400 around that supposed to Gears E Day is coming out 430 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.799 sooner than a lot of people expect, So maybe Gears 431 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:53.640 E Day is going to be the November game, and 432 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.559 then they would push Fable out to next year, kind 433 00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:58.319 of like they did with the Vowed, where it's like, Okay, 434 00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:00.920 we already got enough, we don't need to have both 435 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:05.359 of them. And then you have something else, you know, 436 00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.279 coming in between there that you know, maybe we just 437 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.480 don't know about yet, or you know that whenever they're 438 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.319 doing that Oblivion remake, which seems like it's kind of 439 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.559 just a matter of when they announce it and not 440 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:26.240 if anymore, but we'll see also moving on from that 441 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.400 to another some some Xbox stuff here, because, like I said, 442 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.039 Phil Spencer, and I'm sorry for people that are like 443 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:37.000 always watch us and stuff. We're going to talk about 444 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.920 stuff that we've kind of talked about a bunch of times, 445 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.839 because it feels like every time we talk about Xbox 446 00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.559 this kind of stuff always has to come up right, 447 00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:49.480 which is understandable on the way people want these answers, 448 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:52.839 but also I feel like, how many times is Phil 449 00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.920 Spencer going to say pretty much the same thing until 450 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.680 people kind of get it this This is the most 451 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.079 you're going to get when it comes to him answering 452 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:08.559 the question of what's going over to PS five and 453 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.200 what's not kind of thing. Really quick before we get 454 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.880 to that, they did announce the what's coming to Xbox 455 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:20.599 Game Pass for the rest of this month and then 456 00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.920 the like first week of February. Oh, I lost I 457 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:33.160 lost mark there for a second. So tomorrow Eternal Strands 458 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:35.799 is out. I'll actually have a link in the description. 459 00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:38.279 Keith actually reviewed that for the Outer Hayven gave it 460 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:43.599 a pretty good score, so you know you can go 461 00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:46.240 read that at your leisure. But it looks like it's 462 00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:48.319 going to be a pretty pretty good game at least, 463 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:51.680 and for it being on game Pass, that's a pretty 464 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.240 good get there. Orcsmos Die Death Trap, which is the 465 00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:57.480 newest orchsmos Die, is also coming out the same day tomorrow. 466 00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:01.599 It's going to be on game Pass. Also, Sniper Elite 467 00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:04.079 Resistance is coming on the thirtieth that's going to be 468 00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.359 on game Pass, which is not the next iteration Snapper Elite, 469 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:09.960 but it really is almost like an expansion of five. 470 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:11.319 It has a lot of the same. 471 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.720 Which is yeah, you know, it's not like they're not 472 00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.119 the wheel over there. 473 00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:22.119 So the thirty first CE Citizens Sleeper two Star Star 474 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:25.279 Ward Vector, which is Citizens Sleep for one was like 475 00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:29.160 one of those big indie hits, So let's see if 476 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:33.799 this one is going to repeat the same thing. Mostly, 477 00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:36.039 there's a lot of games that have already been out 478 00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:38.480 that are now going to be on game Pass standard. 479 00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:41.920 The ones that I would really pay attention to kind 480 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.279 of is you haven't played in its galling Pats of 481 00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:49.400 the Goddess, Definitely go play that. There's also Chia, which 482 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:52.079 was on PS plus when it first came out, and 483 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:53.799 it's out there in the case of the Golden Idol 484 00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:57.079 if you like those detective games, definitely worth checking out 485 00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:59.880 there for sure. And then I know you didn't like 486 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.960 this mark, and I know I probably wouldn't like it either. 487 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:05.680 Uh far Cry New Dawn is gonna be the February 488 00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:09.359 fourth game. I guess you'd be soft is just giving 489 00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:11.960 that out there. Probably not gonna move a lot of 490 00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.039 move a lot of units there. That's the like, isn't 491 00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:18.880 it like almost like the would have been DLC. 492 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:20.920 I didn't play that one, I don't think, And I 493 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.279 guess like the co Op one. 494 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.680 Yeah, that's the that's the one that came after five. 495 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.519 Okay, yeah I did play. I did play this one 496 00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:33.240 with the stupid twins, the two twins. Yeah yeah, so uh. 497 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.440 And then I would mention if you haven't bought or 498 00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:39.839 played Desk Door, definitely go do that. It's leaving on 499 00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:44.640 January thirty. First great indie game that everybody should go 500 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:47.480 check out for sure. And if you like puzzle games, 501 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:52.000 my Kett's pretty good as well. So that's it for 502 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:55.599 the game past stuff. So definitely, like you know, as 503 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.440 you're probably watching and listening to this, Eternal Strands is out, 504 00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:00.279 you can go play that, and then some of the 505 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.440 other games will be out in a couple of days afterwards. 506 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:09.240 Starting with the Phils Spencer stuff, there's two podcasts that 507 00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:11.559 he date interviews with like basically almost have to like 508 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:13.319 one after the other, and then they you know, they 509 00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:17.240 released them on their own time frame, one with Desin 510 00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:20.640 McGarry who recently left IGN and decided to do his 511 00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:25.359 own thing on YouTube and Patreon. And then it's Oh 512 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.920 my god, Danny Penya and Paris with their why can't 513 00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:33.640 I think of the name gamer Tech Radio. They've been 514 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.319 around since like one of the first ever gaming podcasts, 515 00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.440 since like two thousand and four, two thousand and five. 516 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:44.559 You know, they've had Spencer on a couple of times. 517 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:46.880 They had him on for like there his one thousandth 518 00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:48.960 episode and all that stuff, and now they had him 519 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.799 on for this. So the consensus with both of them 520 00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.880 was they asked the question of what's gonna happen with 521 00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.000 games going over to PS five? Are there more games 522 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:06.400 going Destin asked specifically about Starfield. Phil Spencer basically kind 523 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.519 of reiterated that same thing that we've talked about a 524 00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:12.480 bunch of times about the No Red line. No, I'm 525 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:17.200 not going to put a fence around certain games. We 526 00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:21.720 are not going to gate keep games away from any 527 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:28.160 system where they can gain fans or possible players. We 528 00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:30.880 are going to support switch To. He's already talked to 529 00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:37.440 Forkawa personally. He said, so we know that those rumors 530 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:39.200 that have games that are coming to switch to are 531 00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:43.319 probably more likely more than not likely true. But he's 532 00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:46.279 not going to say no, that game is not going 533 00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:48.960 to come. But he's also not going to say, oh, definitely, 534 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:51.720 this game is coming. I've seen a lot of people 535 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:56.920 complain that they should He should be telling people when 536 00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.480 games are coming, like when cific games are coming that 537 00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:03.880 what if I buy the game on Xbox or whatever. 538 00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:06.799 What if I'm buying waiting for that game to show 539 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:12.480 up and now I don't know and the waiting event 540 00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:15.240 is like where do you live? To me, I feel 541 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.359 like number one, he doesn't owe you an answer, and 542 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.880 then number two, it takes away some of the mystery 543 00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:24.119 of when they actually announce it. People get excited if 544 00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:27.359 he just goes and tells you straight off, Oh, on 545 00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.160 April twenty something, we're getting Starfield. On June fifteenth, you're 546 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:38.240 getting Halo master Chief collection, Like, where do you land 547 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:39.599 on that? Do they need to just give you the 548 00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:41.759 whole slate right now or they need to just do 549 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.759 the thing that they've been doing. 550 00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.000 I mean you literally just praised them for their developer 551 00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:50.680 direct for them doing three concrete release dates so well. 552 00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:52.799 But these are games that have already been out. They're 553 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:56.359 just deciding when they're going to PlayStation five or switch to. 554 00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.839 I mean, like, why do we need to have concrete 555 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:01.880 dates for that if they're going at all. 556 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.759 The reason they don't want to give concrete dates is 557 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:09.319 still trying to milk Xbox fans to hopefully buy you know, 558 00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:11.799 people who might have both consoles, like, hey, hopefully buy 559 00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:16.640 Starfield on this on the Xbox, you know, like once 560 00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:20.559 they go, hey it comes out May twenty fourth or whatever, 561 00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:24.359 it's like, all right, well, most whatever people left it 562 00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.039 would be buying Starfield for the Xbox. They're not gonna 563 00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:32.559 publy buy now. Yeah, definitely, I I guess I would 564 00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.640 like it, But I also don't know like what, like 565 00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:37.200 what games are coming. And I still think that their 566 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.319 whole philosophy of like no boundaries or no fences or 567 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:43.559 we only have the dog training fence for for Forza 568 00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:49.279 or whatever, Like, uh, it's like, why, okay, why do 569 00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:52.640 you have a console? Then? Like Sega got out when 570 00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.319 the Dreamcast slopped and or you know, when several consoles 571 00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:59.119 flopped and they're like, all right, fuck it, and now 572 00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:01.440 they're probably in a better position than they were back then. 573 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.599 So yeah, I mean they're still making consoles because why not? 574 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.200 Why why not give people an opportunity to still play? 575 00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:14.440 I mean, for one, I think game Pass doesn't work 576 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:15.960 if you don't that's for most. 577 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:18.599 Because the whole philosophy is like, oh, you can play 578 00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:20.279 it on your TV, you can play it on your phone, 579 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:21.440 you know, right. 580 00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.759 But the the majority of people that have subscribed to 581 00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.119 game Pass, which you know, they need that revenue stream, 582 00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:32.400 are on console and they want to play games that way, 583 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:34.759 and it's still the lead. 584 00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.279 Well cut out the console and put game Pass on PSI. 585 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:42.400 Uh he kind of says that. Actually, Uh, the answer 586 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.319 his answer to that is we want to be able 587 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.400 to give the experience the best experienced Xbox experience possible. 588 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:53.400 H But we can't because some places are closed. 589 00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:59.000 And because you're fucking competitors. But if you eliminate that console, 590 00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:01.440 you're not competitors anymore then your cooperators. 591 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:05.000 Well, I mean he's really a cooperator that's also has 592 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:09.519 a console. It's just Tony. Uh, Sony and Nintendo are 593 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:12.119 not going to allow game pass on their console. 594 00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:16.319 There will well Nintendo won't, but Tony will if there's 595 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:19.960 not an Xbox console. I think Sony, who we saw, 596 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:24.799 you know, their stupid uh you know, membership platform is 597 00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.759 on PS five, e A whatever that that thing it's 598 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:31.480 called is on PS five, like the Saint hard if. 599 00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:33.960 I mean, I'm sure if EA made a console that 600 00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.480 would be ripped off on PS five day one, you know, 601 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.359 or you know, like the second they announced it, they're like, okay, 602 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:44.119 no more EA membership program on PS five. Why because 603 00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:45.440 their competitors. 604 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:48.160 Now, right. But I definitely think that the more and 605 00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:51.839 more these games come to PS five and if every 606 00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:56.039 single look at uh they released the the top games 607 00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:59.400 of the whole year, and see a Thieves is on 608 00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:04.640 there flaystation. So let's say, you know, you release Starfield, 609 00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:10.239 you release Gears one Ultimate Edition, Halo Master Chief Collection, 610 00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:15.480 Halo five, whatever fours, their Rise in five and they 611 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:19.920 all sell like crazy on PlayStation. I think the more 612 00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:23.679 that that keeps happening. I think somebody starts seeing that, 613 00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.840 oh Xbox is really trying to work with us. They 614 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.320 just want to sell. They want to sell. 615 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.639 However, Okay, yeah, it's the same argument I have with 616 00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:37.920 like the epic game Star versus Steam, and this happens 617 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:42.519 Final Fantasy obviously. But let's say, for is the Motorsport 618 00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.360 five solos, I'm going to use just basic numbers or 619 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.000 five five copies on Xbox and it goes to PS 620 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:53.320 five and then it sells fifteen. Shouldn't that tell Xbox like, hey, 621 00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:56.239 why bother making this one at all when you could 622 00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:59.599 make it for PS five and sell twenty or you 623 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:04.559 know even more, This is the cost of like making 624 00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:08.760 the console is immense and huge, and they're still like 625 00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:10.880 in the hole probably from making that, Like. 626 00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:14.679 I mean, he he talks about that because, uh, you know, 627 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:17.920 Paris asks him straight up, what's the point of buying 628 00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:20.920 an Xbox console at this point, and he says, well, 629 00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:21.920 you know. 630 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:25.440 Pretty much probably pass game Pass game. 631 00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:30.360 He really didn't, he really didn't mention game Pass as 632 00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:33.599 that he says that they are looking to innovate with 633 00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:36.599 their console and that their console is going to be 634 00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:41.320 do something different than what Sony's console offers. I really 635 00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:43.280 don't know what that is at this point, other than 636 00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.440 being completely open, which he's talked about. 637 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:50.000 You know what I mean, connect three point zero making 638 00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:51.079 it once. 639 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:54.320 Again definitely not uh, but that's someone that I can 640 00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:56.000 think of. It is that he's going to be completely open. 641 00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:59.880 He says, they already have a deal with Epic, you know, 642 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:03.960 the only one that obviously he would He has a 643 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:08.159 gave right there next to him and Valve. Could they 644 00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:10.400 work out something where they would allow a version of 645 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:14.360 Steam OS to be on Xbox and Steam gets some 646 00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:17.159 kind of cut or of every sale or whatever that 647 00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:20.159 happens to the Steam OS. I don't know, but that's 648 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:22.599 something I could think of. Is that basically the next 649 00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:26.800 Xbox will be a PC straight up with an Xbox OS, 650 00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:29.639 which they're they're heading there. He talks about that as well. 651 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.639 He says, we want to build an Xbox OS so 652 00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.400 that when we have our handheld, well we have our 653 00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.440 next system. You're using a version of Windows that is 654 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:43.639 basically built with Xbox in mind, so that if you 655 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.519 want to go to a desktop with your handheld, you can, 656 00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:50.679 but you will be an Xbox OS thing first and 657 00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:52.920 then obviously I don't know if it's going to be 658 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:56.039 open to be able to have Steam os and other 659 00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:56.639 stuff on there. 660 00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:58.960 So I don't even trust them to make a good 661 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.800 OS now computers, let alone for a console. 662 00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:05.639 Well, yeah, definitely their app needs work for sure. 663 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:07.920 Well I don't mean like that. I mean, like eleven 664 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:08.960 sucks ass so. 665 00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:12.280 But it's the it's the operating system that exists. It's 666 00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:13.519 the one, the only one. 667 00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.000 Yeah, it's like the default one. I mean people are 668 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:19.880 talking like more and more about how Steamo West might 669 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.760 be like on computer someday, and it's like, yeah, that's 670 00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:23.519 a nice fantasy. 671 00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:27.760 But no, uh well, see, it's gonna start with the 672 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:32.280 portable PCs. We'll see if if they if it keeps going, 673 00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:35.400 well you know, maybe I won't rule that out. 674 00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:38.440 I don't trust them even make a good PC console 675 00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:42.280 or PC. Oh, wes, let alone some handheld one, like. 676 00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:46.599 He says, it's being worked on. We're apparently going to 677 00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:50.559 see something about the handheld before the end of the year. 678 00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:55.199 Yeah, they's announced some partner and they announce like Marcus 679 00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:00.320 up Windows eleven, uh minimum Edition or pocket edition or something, 680 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:00.519 you know. 681 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.639 Yeah, he also talks about the reason why they want 682 00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.480 The reason why this whole strategy for PS five is 683 00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:11.559 that it's about the creatives. It's about what the actual 684 00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:14.920 the devs want. That the devs want games to be 685 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:19.599 everywhere because it helps them have the most sales as possible. Obviously, 686 00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:21.199 you know. 687 00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:25.039 The devs don't want to be on game Pass. 688 00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:29.360 Ironically enough, Yeah, I mean, he talks about how that's 689 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:34.360 actually been kind of misconstrued. That's not They actually fought 690 00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:37.239 back on that. I think they released it a couple 691 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:39.400 of days after we did the last episode. He says 692 00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:43.639 that I think Insider Gaming had the report basically refuting 693 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:47.039 a lot of that information thing that we talked about 694 00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:51.199 last week, essentially saying that we've shown that we have 695 00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:56.920 grown every period, every quarter, and part of that is 696 00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:59.920 also game Pass. They're not giving them out out the 697 00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:02.440 amounts that they used to, which. 698 00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:06.400 Is part of it. That's that's a telltale sign, like 699 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:08.199 I'm sure they've got ten more people they're gonna go 700 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:11.199 like or growing, but it's not the one hundred million 701 00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:11.760 they wanted. 702 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:14.280 No, No, definitely it's not. That's part of the reason 703 00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:17.519 why they had to pivot over to Okay, we're gonna 704 00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:21.360 give our games, the PlayStation and Nintendo. But it's also 705 00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:25.360 I can understand they want to push things forward. They 706 00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:29.400 want to again kind of like, let's move the industry 707 00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.400 this way because everybody wants every things on everything. Obviously, 708 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:36.159 Nintendo's gonna be on its own as long as possible 709 00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:39.039 because they kind of they will always see themselves a 710 00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:43.480 toy company first, not necessarily anything else. I mean, look 711 00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:46.559 at the Switch one. Uh, they didn't really have a 712 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:49.519 lot of apps on that thing, so I mean, they 713 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:53.719 were all about the games for that thing. So I 714 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:56.800 don't know if that's gonna change much this go around either, 715 00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:59.679 but we'll see if they embrace some of that. At 716 00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:02.920 least it seems like they're embracing like voice chat or whatever, 717 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:07.280 if the rumors are correct on that. But look, there's 718 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:10.159 still a lot of you know, kind of I'm not 719 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:12.559 gonna give you a straight direct answer, but I think 720 00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:15.400 this is the clearest he's ever been about. Look, this 721 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:18.559 is our strategy. Whether you like it or not, this 722 00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:20.920 is what we're doing. You can either get on board 723 00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.199 or you can, you know, go do whatever it is 724 00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:27.559 you want. But he's basically saying get ready because you're 725 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:32.119 gonna see more of this, Sonya might be putting their 726 00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:36.519 games on PC faster, not necessarily that they're gonna I 727 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.079 don't know. Maybe they're gonna work with Nintendo more. Maybe 728 00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:41.440 Horizon is not the last one. But they don't make 729 00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:43.320 a lot of kiddie games either, so I don't know 730 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:48.320 what they could really give Nintendo that lego God of 731 00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:55.119 War like exactly. But that's the thing he talks about 732 00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:57.599 a lot of that stuff. It's like, why you need 733 00:40:57.719 --> 00:40:59.920 on the console. We think we're gonna innovate. We're gonna 734 00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:04.360 do something different than just basically doing the same thing 735 00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:08.320 as Sony but having a different box. He understands that 736 00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:11.119 boxes in the name they they're gonna have a console 737 00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:14.039 for as long as possible, and he says that is 738 00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:17.599 also why he knows that people are worried about what 739 00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:20.800 happens to our games if the console ever goes away, 740 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:22.840 and he says, this is why we're putting it on 741 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:26.760 other platforms and having everything say which he did they 742 00:41:26.840 --> 00:41:29.400 did do at the beginning of developed Erect. He said, 743 00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:33.079 you know, everything here is Xbox Play Anywhere, and everything 744 00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:35.559 is on game Pass, and that's that's why they want 745 00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.559 to push the play Anywhere because let's say the console 746 00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:42.760 does go away. Play anywhere also means eventually maybe Nintendo 747 00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:47.760 also means PlayStation. Uh, you buy it once on your 748 00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:49.880 PC and you own it on all of these things 749 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.280 because it's an Xbox product at the end of the day. 750 00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:57.320 So you know, if that is the case, right, I 751 00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:01.320 think that pushes maybe Sony he starts doing something like 752 00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:05.760 that where it's like, oh, you buy it on PC, 753 00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:08.840 you get the PlayStation version for a discount or something 754 00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:13.320 like that. I don't know what they're their thing will be, 755 00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:17.559 but that's kind of what he says. I know people 756 00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:20.639 are mad about they want a whole list of this 757 00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.440 game's coming this day. It's not going to happen, like 758 00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:26.639 Mark said, they want to continue to be able to 759 00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:30.719 get people to stay subscribed for these games on Game 760 00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:33.920 Pass or go and buy them on a sale. 761 00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:38.639 Or it's actually like had a clue is what they 762 00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:41.239 should do is release. I mean, I sell the emulator, 763 00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:45.119 but like sell their past games on TC in an 764 00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:48.840 emulatable form, like I'll pay twenty bucks or thirty bucks 765 00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:52.280 for Lost Odyssey on TC. You know, it doesn't need 766 00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:54.679 to be a CE remaster or anything. Just give me 767 00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:58.760 a basic as port of that game or h amp 768 00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:01.039 three or fifty cent Blood in the Sand. 769 00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:04.000 Yeah, well, I mean I think they also have to 770 00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:09.800 be the publisher of that game then, you know. I mean, yeah, 771 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.000 Lost Odyssey, they could. Uh, they did it for the 772 00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:17.519 back compat it's there, you can buy it right off 773 00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:18.280 the store. 774 00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:23.199 But it's still on the Xbox version or right exactly. Yeah, 775 00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:24.559 I agree with you. 776 00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:28.280 I'd love to see them do a wider version of 777 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.719 this where a lot of the games that are Xbox 778 00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:33.440 one compatible also, But I don't know if there's licensing 779 00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:35.719 things that they have to do, if Miss Walker then 780 00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:39.000 has to get involved again or or whatever with that. 781 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.239 So you know, no, he doesn't. Dude doesn't want to 782 00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.599 make it or remake it of it or anything. He 783 00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:48.039 just you know, but it's like, Okay, you're not it 784 00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:52.400 ain't cut this, ain't you don't have any your participation 785 00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:56.039 in this is not required, Like we are just putting 786 00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:59.000 this on PC and like some Xbox or six scamulator 787 00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.239 that like might be able to run it a little better, 788 00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:02.599 but might not. 789 00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:05.760 I mean he he does also mention that as well, 790 00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:10.199 like they uh, I think it's destin legitimately asked him 791 00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:14.519 like when he talks about Okay, is everything just going 792 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:17.119 to PS five and TENO with this one? He said no, 793 00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:22.440 because there's shift games that just aren't worth it for 794 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:24.400 us to put on. 795 00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:26.480 That. 796 00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:31.400 Yeah, like Starfield about Starfield, but like let's say, like okay, 797 00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:34.039 putting Record which wasn't a great game, or Red Fall 798 00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.239 on some of these other it doesn't. It's not worth 799 00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:37.639 it to them. 800 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:40.480 It didn't make sense, wouldn't it wouldn't it be funny 801 00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:42.320 though to put Red Fall on five? And it was 802 00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:47.840 just like antic hit Rights or something like that, like 803 00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:50.320 completely blows Rubble Rivals out of the water. 804 00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:54.280 The Gears tactic scheme, for example, I don't think you 805 00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:58.079 know that's gonna come. Uh, even the older Gears titles, 806 00:44:58.159 --> 00:44:59.880 like I think they want to wait to see, like 807 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:03.320 what if? How does Eday do? Is it worth it 808 00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:07.440 for us to because they're probably gonna want to remaster too, 809 00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:14.280 through judgment or whatever to put on there. Also, Gears 810 00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:17.360 E Day also has a new code developer their old 811 00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:20.599 code developer, and People Can Fly has returned. So it's 812 00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:23.719 kind of like a perfect Dark situation with Crystal Dynamics 813 00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:27.880 and initiatives. Nine more years to come out then, that's 814 00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:29.880 what also is kind of weird, like, Okay, we just 815 00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:32.480 announced this code developer thing, but then we also have 816 00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:35.440 people talking about how apparently it's coming out sooner rather 817 00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:37.880 than later. So it's like, I still don't think I 818 00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:41.000 would be absolutely shocked if both gears E Day and 819 00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:43.599 Fable come out this year, because it's like, dude, are 820 00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.280 you just blowing your whole load on twenty twenty five 821 00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:47.960 and then like, what do you have for next year? 822 00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:51.079 So I could I could see e Eday hitting very 823 00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:55.119 late this year, like not like December thirtieth, but let's 824 00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:58.039 take December like Fable no way. 825 00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:00.719 Yeah, I could see them pushing. I can see them 826 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:03.320 doing the AVOWT thing and pushing Fables like February of 827 00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:03.880 next year. 828 00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:07.119 I can see him pushing it. That's like February and 829 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:08.400 March of like twenty twenty nine. 830 00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:11.880 No, that thing's a lot farther along. 831 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.079 It's like, here's another trailer with Richard I forget the 832 00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:18.079 guy's name. Yeah, I know it's Moss from the IT crowd. 833 00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:21.440 Yeah right, cool, I guess yeah. 834 00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:26.360 It's just it is at least as far as XBOS goes, 835 00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:29.199 what they showed their lineup that they have. It's a 836 00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:32.639 weird time because it's like, imagine if you hadn't done 837 00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:35.800 this whole thing where you're giving your games to PlayStation 838 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:39.039 and Nintendo or whatever. It's like, now you finally have 839 00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:42.760 the games. Now you finally have the lineup that could 840 00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:46.519 actually kind of compete when Sony's down, when Sony doesn't 841 00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:49.719 have a bunch of games coming out, right that you 842 00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:54.719 just lost the munts to cancel projects, and like the 843 00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:57.559 only thing we know that's happening that we have no 844 00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:01.760 idea when that's going to come out is Horizon, you know, 845 00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:09.079 the multiplayer game, Fair Games whatever Sonny Santa Monica is 846 00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:13.760 working on. That's not God of War and whatever Corey 847 00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:17.280 Barlog's working on. Uh that we we don't know really 848 00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:21.880 supposed to God of Wars just going to another uh 849 00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:26.280 mytholog you know, mythology, but we don't know when and 850 00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:28.599 where that's coming. So it's like. 851 00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:31.639 It'll be the Christian mythology. 852 00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:36.159 Yeah, like Lost Profits not coming out anytime soon. So 853 00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:39.440 it's like and worse off, Last of Us three is 854 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:42.079 not coming out anytimes So it's like this was really 855 00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:46.360 the time for Xbox to game ground and you kind 856 00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:48.639 of like already lost that, right, so now it's just 857 00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:52.320 about like, Okay, well, I guess you can just deliver 858 00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:56.280 great games and make it worth it to for people 859 00:47:56.320 --> 00:47:58.360 that won't have game Pass, I guess at that point. 860 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:02.239 But look, there's a lot of stuff in those interviews. 861 00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:04.599 Both of them are like thirty five Both of them 862 00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:08.079 are like around thirty minutes that you can go watch 863 00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:10.679 on YouTube if you want to hear the whole interview 864 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:14.559 or whatever. Lots of great questions for Phil, including like 865 00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.360 what his legacy is or you know, where he thinks 866 00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:20.360 even the industry is going to be going, and stuff 867 00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:24.400 like that, So a lot of stuff to go check out. 868 00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:27.960 He does mention the whole Dustin asked him about the 869 00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:34.639 XBOS series as compatability, thing like will will they remove that? 870 00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:38.239 And he actually he brings up that, like you know, 871 00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:42.920 obviously Black with Wukong. The dev Game Science said that 872 00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:47.079 basically they blamed the series s and not having less 873 00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:50.719 familiarity with that to be able to do the the 874 00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:54.159 optimization for it. So that's why it didn't come Nextbuck supposedly, 875 00:48:55.519 --> 00:48:58.039 which I can understand, right, they had to end up 876 00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.360 removing that for boulders Gate three to be able to 877 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:03.320 show up on Xbox. I don't know why Black with 878 00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:07.840 Lukon didn't get that same treatment, but it is what 879 00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:08.199 it is. 880 00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:09.199 Uh. 881 00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:11.920 He says he's not going to remove it because people 882 00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:13.920 got to optimize for Scheme Deck now, people got to 883 00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.239 optimize a rage ally now, people got to you know, 884 00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:20.639 Lenovo for all the other a portable PCs. Now for 885 00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:24.800 the you know, Sony's basically streaming to the portal. But 886 00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:29.960 like when the when the Sony hanhel comes out, and 887 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.800 when the Xbox Handheld comes out, they're gonna have to 888 00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:35.320 learn how to optimize for that too. So I guess 889 00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:38.480 he's like, I'm not going to remove the compatibility thing 890 00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:42.079 with this because they're optimizing for more and more things now, 891 00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:44.880 so they kind of should be able to do it 892 00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:47.599 for series, which I kind of understand, but I feel 893 00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:50.440 like make exceptions for the games that just can't do 894 00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:52.480 it instead of not having it on your platform at all. 895 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:58.199 But well, also, like THEES is old, so they can't. 896 00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:01.039 I mean we can talk about later it's on Fantasy, 897 00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:03.800 but like they can only optimize a certain point. Yeah, 898 00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:06.159 they run run at a head room and this is 899 00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:07.800 it either accept it or you don't. 900 00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:10.480 Yeah, the RAM can't can't do it or whatever. And 901 00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:13.880 it's like it's also interesting because it's like Series S 902 00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:16.840 is is the console that's sold the most, so it's 903 00:50:16.920 --> 00:50:20.400 like they can't really say no to it because more 904 00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:22.679 people have Series S's than Series X's. 905 00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:23.679 Uh. 906 00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:25.719 And then and they need those consoles to be able 907 00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:29.119 to have the latest games or if not, you know, 908 00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:32.679 they're not gonna have a reason to have that console. Yeah, 909 00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:37.559 they can stream stuff, but not everybody can stream. So yeah, again, Uh, 910 00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:41.000 stuff worth checking out on those interviews if you want. 911 00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:46.000 Don't need to keep belaboring the point. There was a 912 00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:48.400 lot of Xbox stuff this week. It was a lot 913 00:50:48.519 --> 00:50:53.400 of what was the kind of commanding thing? Uh this week, 914 00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:59.800 But we do move on here to not Xbox stuff 915 00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:06.360 for a little bit. It's just getting into just really quick. 916 00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:09.159 We'll get into the so many stuff and then we'll 917 00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:13.400 talk about rebirth also because we have a final Fantasy 918 00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:17.840 story to talk about here. Two of them. But they 919 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:22.159 announced today, because we just talked about koy Tecmo, Rose 920 00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:24.920 of Rona is going to go to PC. It's gonna 921 00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:28.119 be on Steam March eleventh, twenty twenty five. It's gonna 922 00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:31.320 cost fifty bucks on Steam. It's gonna be able to 923 00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:34.719 go up to eight K support, direct X have one 924 00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:39.400 hundred and twenty fps, three D audio support, DLSS, all 925 00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:42.039 that stuff. So it looks like it's gonna be the 926 00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:48.440 I guess definitive version Rise, which was a fine game. 927 00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:50.119 Yeah, but I've heard it was good. 928 00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:53.199 You know, we know some O the Blade is eventually 929 00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:55.519 gonna go to PC. Shift Up has said that as well, 930 00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:58.760 So you know the to to so many like second 931 00:51:58.840 --> 00:52:00.119 party games from last year. 932 00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:04.519 Are are gonna win the switch? 933 00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:12.840 Yeah, I don't. I don't think so. Also, in uh 934 00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:17.320 interesting that we talked about it last week that you know, 935 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:20.039 they canceled the God of War Blue Point game and 936 00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:25.599 the Sony benz uh Life Service game. This is apparently 937 00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:30.159 not a Sony decision. We know that NCSoft was working 938 00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:36.079 on a Horizon MMO. Yeah, supposedly whatever it was called 939 00:52:36.239 --> 00:52:39.159 Project H. They also have a Project J and a 940 00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:43.440 Project Pantera. The belief is that Project H was the 941 00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:49.199 Horizon H M m O that was being worked on. Obviously, 942 00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:51.840 NCSoft with Guild Wars has. 943 00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:56.480 I'm hoping Project J was a was a jumping flash. 944 00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:04.239 That that's separate from the Gorilla multiplayer game that's being working. Yeah, 945 00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:06.800 I don't feel like this is as big a loss 946 00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:09.920 as the other two that we talked about last week 947 00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:11.400 because it was a. 948 00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:14.800 Little more nebulous. And then also like it's what she's 949 00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:17.159 and she's not is known for is like making MMOs. 950 00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:21.280 So them having to cancel something that you don't even 951 00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:25.000 know how far on it was necessarily like that's yeah, okay, 952 00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:27.480 I mean they can make someone else and that whee 953 00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:30.599 allows or you know, like it's not the it's not 954 00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:33.800 like I think the tragedy for like Blue Point Games 955 00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:35.960 specifically is like what you said last week is like, 956 00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:38.000 what what are they gonna make for this that's the 957 00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:43.360 console cycle? Nothing, because it would take let's say even 958 00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:46.039 like tomorrow they're like, okay, are making another game. It 959 00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:47.679 would take them at least three or four years to 960 00:53:47.719 --> 00:53:49.800 school up to make it. They're not gonna just crap 961 00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:50.800 something out in six months. 962 00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:53.920 Yeah, unless they're just doing a straight like just remaster, 963 00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:56.840 uprights in the graphics or whatever. But if they're doing 964 00:53:56.880 --> 00:53:59.199 a remake, they did Demon Souls. 965 00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:02.880 Right, that's and I talked about that and he was like, 966 00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:04.800 it's not not remaining a big loss, and I was like, 967 00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:07.760 you like that Demon Souls, you know remaker. He's like, 968 00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:11.360 well it, you know, it changed a little from what 969 00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:13.800 the original was, and they didn't. It wasn't like one 970 00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:16.800 hundred percent faithful or whatever. I'm like, well, I tell 971 00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:19.239 you yeah, and I like this one. 972 00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:24.119 So yeah, a lot of people did, right. I mean 973 00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:26.199 they also did the Shadow of Loss remake, which was 974 00:54:26.239 --> 00:54:29.239 well received too. I mean like, right, they could have 975 00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:33.440 done a remake of another game, right, Actually, what I 976 00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:37.719 thought when when people started doing rumors of oh they're 977 00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:40.880 doing remasters of God of War the other God of 978 00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:44.480 War games, I thought maybe Luepoint was doing that. And 979 00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:47.920 now they announced that it was that live service game, 980 00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:52.039 and it's like, again, you know who's like this seemed 981 00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:54.199 more like of a Sony just kind of said, hey, 982 00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:57.159 NC suck and y'all do uh, how much do we 983 00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:02.199 need to pay you to do a Horizon MMO or whatever? 984 00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:06.159 And then her he saw just the budget wasn't. 985 00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:08.760 There or or yeah, it felt very much like a 986 00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:11.400 pay for game type of thing. Yeah wait, I mean 987 00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:13.679 didn't want to pay for it or it wasn't going 988 00:55:13.719 --> 00:55:15.880 how they wanted. I just wanted to probably right, to 989 00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:19.159 step away from it or yeah exactly, or if it 990 00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:22.559 wasn't the soft standards like all right, well we're just 991 00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:26.199 gonna quietly shove this or whatever. And but like the 992 00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:28.679 Blue Point stuff or even like the Ben Studio stuff, 993 00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:32.000 it's like, yeah, it's a down. Yeah. 994 00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:34.639 After Concord, it feels like heoki to Tokey after he 995 00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:38.719 had the kind of damning thing to say was he's 996 00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:41.000 just kind of going through the books and going, Okay, 997 00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:46.719 this is not gonna go anywhere. This is not going anywhere. Uh, 998 00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:50.639 or maybe he's having to tell Herman host like, we 999 00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:52.320 got to make some of this money back. We got 1000 00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:55.000 to make some of this budget back. You need to 1001 00:55:55.039 --> 00:55:58.000 start going to these studios and figuring out which ones 1002 00:55:58.280 --> 00:56:01.760 are going to be you know, canceled. Hopefully nobody loses 1003 00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:04.920 jobs or whatever. But it's just like, obviously, you know 1004 00:56:05.039 --> 00:56:09.079 you're not gonna kill your baby and the Horizon multiplayer 1005 00:56:09.159 --> 00:56:12.280 game because you know he's from Gorilla and all that, 1006 00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:17.960 let's be honest. But it's just like and Herman Holst 1007 00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:21.639 has it's interesting to me, like where it's like, Okay, 1008 00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:23.760 I get it that you want him to keep his 1009 00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:26.559 Uh you don't you obviously you de signed on this 1010 00:56:26.679 --> 00:56:31.960 too CEO thing, and it's like it feels like Herman 1011 00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:35.079 Hols has a lot to do with along with Jim Ryan. 1012 00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:39.960 Why we're in this place that we're in. It's like, yeah, 1013 00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:43.840 so he's CEO still why I mean, obviously you got 1014 00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:45.599 to give him credit for the good stuff too, But. 1015 00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:49.079 Well, it's funny that, like if you compare Gorilla Games 1016 00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:52.000 to like Naughty Dog, Naughty Dog makes like three games 1017 00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:55.239 maybe four, Yeah, I mean move into something else or 1018 00:56:55.280 --> 00:56:56.880 they always have. They always have at least one or 1019 00:56:56.920 --> 00:56:59.679 two other things kind of in the works horizon. You know, 1020 00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:03.280 Earians in the Stecond Horizon since twenty seventeen. It's okay 1021 00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:07.960 but not super you know, the most popular thing in 1022 00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:10.280 the world, and they just keep like that's like they're 1023 00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:13.000 only money maker or like the only thing they're interested 1024 00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:13.440 in them. 1025 00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:17.559 No, I mean forgetting West sold a lot better than zero, 1026 00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:22.039 don you know, still not the numbers. I think they 1027 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:26.239 definitely wanted it to hit or whatever. Right now, they're 1028 00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:29.719 making a movie. The TV show didn't work out, the 1029 00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:31.159 semi mode didn't work out. 1030 00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:34.320 You know, I may have specific issues with a how 1031 00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:38.039 the intergalactic character looks, but like I'm interested in that 1032 00:57:38.199 --> 00:57:38.840 game as a. 1033 00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:43.400 Whole, right, because Naughty Dog doesn't miss, right, They're. 1034 00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:46.440 Not like I mean, they make jack acts, so they're 1035 00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:47.159 not in fallible. 1036 00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:51.239 No, but i mean since Last of Us, right, since Uncharted, 1037 00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:52.639 do they really miss no? 1038 00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:53.599 Yeah? 1039 00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:57.119 Like, so that's the thing is like, we know we 1040 00:57:57.199 --> 00:57:59.840 could trust same thing with Insomniac, right, you know you 1041 00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:02.760 can trust them at least from the sony side of things. 1042 00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:06.519 They've made some bad games, but like are. 1043 00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:12.039 Just a tag more creative than you know, Gorilla unfortunately, right. 1044 00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:15.079 And it's like, well, Gorilla, you know, they're done with 1045 00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:18.480 those past franchises of theirs. They've said, so, uh, this 1046 00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:19.960 is kind of the thing that they want to do. 1047 00:58:20.079 --> 00:58:22.800 We know there's a Horizon three somewhere and the works there. 1048 00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:29.199 That VR game didn't work out either forgot to so yeah, 1049 00:58:29.519 --> 00:58:32.719 so it's like there's a lot of that franchise that 1050 00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:35.559 they've even shoe Heyoshida said it. He said, I'm I 1051 00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:40.039 was surprised and shocked at how well we expected Horizon 1052 00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:43.639 to do and it didn't do what we wanted it to. 1053 00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:46.079 So it's like and they've kept on with the series 1054 00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:48.679 and you know, commendable for so many to let them 1055 00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:49.559 have their franchise. 1056 00:58:49.679 --> 00:58:52.679 But you know that's that's another game like Forbidden West specifically, 1057 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:55.599 I talked about this like last week. If that game 1058 00:58:55.679 --> 00:59:01.719 is smaller and the budget was twenty I mean, you 1059 00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:05.519 can't requantify a percentage to like dollar. But if they 1060 00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:07.199 were able to shave off twenty percent of the game 1061 00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:10.480 and shave off like ten to twenty of the budget, 1062 00:59:11.159 --> 00:59:14.400 that game stot have ben aok. Size wise, Like that 1063 00:59:14.519 --> 00:59:17.760 game is like massive in scale and it doesn't need 1064 00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:21.880 to be like make a smaller, more concise game, please, 1065 00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:23.639 and I'll be much happier. 1066 00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:29.199 I agree with you there, I think awesome.

He he 1090 01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:54.039 helped the studio through all this these times, right from 1091 01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:58.000 the beginning through the Rats and and Clank years to 1092 01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:03.480 going away a from publishing to doing fuse to doing 1093 01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:06.679 uh oh god, what's the Xbox one that I can't 1094 01:01:06.719 --> 01:01:12.679 think of? Set Overdrive? So then coming back to Sony 1095 01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:15.360 because at one point they wanted to own all the ips. 1096 01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:19.199 They they didn't get to own Spiral, they didn't get 1097 01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:24.199 to own a ratching Clank, and so like they wanted 1098 01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:26.159 to own the rips. They did all a bunch of 1099 01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:30.000 stuff with Oculus for a while and did a bunch 1100 01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:33.039 of games for them. Uh. And then then they came 1101 01:01:33.079 --> 01:01:35.840 back through Spider Man and Sony finally brought them after that. 1102 01:01:36.719 --> 01:01:36.840 Uh. 1103 01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:40.119 There's there's been rumors that Sony tried to buy them 1104 01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:44.760 before that, but like it's never been kind of plainly 1105 01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:46.800 stated by anybody that they did. 1106 01:01:48.079 --> 01:01:50.400 I could see that, especially when they made us before 1107 01:01:50.440 --> 01:01:51.800 they made us and send it over. 1108 01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:57.679 Ye, Clank was successful for the most part, aside from 1109 01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:00.679 the you know, the movie that didn't do that well. 1110 01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:04.519 But honestly, oddly enough, they they had a statement saying 1111 01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:07.199 that they would kind of be open to doing more 1112 01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:13.360 Ratchet and Clank other medium stuff, which maybe with how 1113 01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:15.280 Sonic is popular. 1114 01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:17.960 To drop Rachet on Earth and hook him up with 1115 01:02:18.639 --> 01:02:19.800 James Marston. 1116 01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:22.960 You know, maybe you do Jack and Daxter rationing and 1117 01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:28.480 Clank team up person. Uh. But the thing is Ted 1118 01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:32.519 Price was so pivotal to them that they actually have 1119 01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:39.000 to have three CEOs to take his place. Two of 1120 01:02:39.079 --> 01:02:41.920 them are not gain developers, one of them is a 1121 01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:49.239 marketing guy. I think it's Chad desern is the marketing guy. Uh. 1122 01:02:49.360 --> 01:02:53.679 Then Yen Huang used to is their like CFO that 1123 01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:56.079 is now going to be the CEO, and then Ryan 1124 01:02:56.320 --> 01:03:04.239 Snyder also And it's like, wow, it's crazy enough that 1125 01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:09.079 Sony has two CEOs themselves. I've never heard of a 1126 01:03:09.199 --> 01:03:11.960 big company having three in it working out. 1127 01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:14.840 Yeah, I mean want to get kind of cast off, 1128 01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:18.880 like they should honestly just have the CSO guy and 1129 01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:22.639 the big guy there like marketing. 1130 01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:28.280 Yeah, like the one dev right that, Hey, Crafty, what's 1131 01:03:28.320 --> 01:03:32.199 going on? Happy to know that you're watching live here 1132 01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:35.719 at like you know, it's just it's it's weird, Like 1133 01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:38.159 I understand, Okay, have the dev SO that he kind 1134 01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:40.920 of has that experience of working with the teams that way, 1135 01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:43.639 and then like have the CFO and then you know, 1136 01:03:43.800 --> 01:03:45.800 you can have the marketing guy go back to doing whatever. 1137 01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:48.360 I don't know if it was okay, we're promoting all 1138 01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:49.920 of them because we don't want one of them to 1139 01:03:50.039 --> 01:03:53.920 leave or something like that. But it's three CEOs like 1140 01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:59.239 that just seems like a recipe for not good stuff. 1141 01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:02.719 I mean, right, we know they got two high profile 1142 01:04:02.840 --> 01:04:05.559 games coming, right, Wolverine's coming at some point, whether it's 1143 01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:09.400 next year, I don't think it's coming this year and 1144 01:04:09.519 --> 01:04:12.679 then Spider Man three down the line somewhere, and and 1145 01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:18.280 that's kind of it, right, So yeah, I mean, hey, 1146 01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:21.000 they could technically, right, they don't have to have Microsoft's 1147 01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:24.840 approval for that. They technically could uh make Sunset Over 1148 01:04:24.960 --> 01:04:26.960 or if they wanted to, but Sony would also have 1149 01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:30.480 to kind of like okay that right, which I know 1150 01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:33.880 maybe maybe with this thing again where Xbox is putting 1151 01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:36.480 their games on PlayStation, maybe though, they'll all kind of 1152 01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:38.880 come to a head and say, hey, what if you 1153 01:04:38.960 --> 01:04:42.079 make this multi platform, let's all do it, right, I 1154 01:04:42.119 --> 01:04:44.280 don't know, but it's not like sun Set Over or 1155 01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:49.760 I've sold like crazy numbers either, but it's a beloved game. Yeah. 1156 01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:55.960 So yeah, I mean, like you said, there's not a 1157 01:04:56.079 --> 01:04:59.320 lot of these guys that have been around thirty years 1158 01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:03.480 or whatever in the industry still around like that. That's 1159 01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:05.239 not We're at Nintendo. 1160 01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:09.440 Yeah, Mark Sny still around. Still trot him out, but 1161 01:05:09.559 --> 01:05:12.400 he's not like a game developer per se, right. 1162 01:05:12.280 --> 01:05:17.599 He's he's helping with the consoles when they that guy. Yeah, 1163 01:05:18.840 --> 01:05:22.079 but we move to we're going to talk about the 1164 01:05:22.360 --> 01:05:24.920 one game that we're going to talk about that Mark's 1165 01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:26.960 been playing because I can't talk about the two games 1166 01:05:26.960 --> 01:05:31.119 that I've been playing due to embargo other than that, 1167 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:32.960 you know, both of them are India, not playing some 1168 01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:37.840 big Triple A game, but you're playing five Fans seveny Birth. 1169 01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:43.199 You mentioned on PC, you mentioned you did the review already. 1170 01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:46.159 Would you end up giving it? I get to give 1171 01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:48.519 it a ten A ten, Okay. 1172 01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:52.079 Yeah, I think it is better on PC, or at 1173 01:05:52.159 --> 01:05:55.639 least on my PC. Have a good PC, so it helps. 1174 01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:57.599 I ran it like same a second. 1175 01:05:58.239 --> 01:05:59.639 Uh, that's pretty awesome. 1176 01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:03.440 Yeah, And it dips like occasionally, like in like weird spots, 1177 01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:05.599 but like nothing like it will dip like to like 1178 01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:08.679 eighty eight frames a second. It's not like twenty or 1179 01:06:08.719 --> 01:06:12.119 anything like that. It just feels a lot snappier and better. 1180 01:06:13.880 --> 01:06:16.199 The weird thing is when I first ran it, it 1181 01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:20.559 had audio issues where every four seconds the auto was 1182 01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:24.599 cutting out of everything, like the music, sound effects, voice acting. 1183 01:06:25.000 --> 01:06:28.719 It's like that opening scene where like Zach is carrying 1184 01:06:28.840 --> 01:06:32.320 Cloud right in the mid guard and like you see 1185 01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:35.880 the helicopter carrying the bodies out like so like I 1186 01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:38.039 did a bunch of stuff on the PC, like up 1187 01:06:38.039 --> 01:06:40.840 to the drivers. I haven't like ran like busted it 1188 01:06:40.920 --> 01:06:44.039 down to like low graphics and that didn't fix it. 1189 01:06:44.679 --> 01:06:46.239 I think it was like an actual weird issue with 1190 01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:49.079 like the PS five controller because I loaded the game 1191 01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:52.239 up without it and it ran fine, and I plugged 1192 01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:54.840 it in and then it was still running fine. But 1193 01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:56.719 like before, when it's messing up, I already had it 1194 01:06:56.760 --> 01:06:59.559 plugged in, like when I started a game, and it 1195 01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:03.400 made just been like confusing the like the audio signal 1196 01:07:03.599 --> 01:07:05.320 like trying to send it to the controller as well 1197 01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:09.079 for some reason, I don't know. But it's fixed now 1198 01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:11.800 that's an important thing, and it's cool. 1199 01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:16.320 And it you know, looks a lot better. Yeah imagine 1200 01:07:17.000 --> 01:07:21.599 like you said, and not looking like a I. 1201 01:07:21.639 --> 01:07:23.920 Can get it to one twenty actually, uh you know, 1202 01:07:24.119 --> 01:07:27.000 kind of no problem. Uh. The two things will point 1203 01:07:27.079 --> 01:07:30.400 out this isn't about the game, which I think is good, 1204 01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:33.800 Like it's the same game. So yeah, if you don't 1205 01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:38.440 like it, that's not you know. But so PC Gamer 1206 01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:41.079 wrote a review of the game and they gave it 1207 01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:44.239 a sixty eight out of one hundred, and wow, no, 1208 01:07:44.920 --> 01:07:48.679 like that's you know, that's that's a word act to grind, 1209 01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:50.320 and like the review is like, oh, it's just kind 1210 01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:53.159 of wheel spinning. Nothing really happened, you know. And they 1211 01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:58.280 mentioned like the repetitive nature of the regions, and it's like, well, 1212 01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:01.159 the repetitive kind. But you don't have to do most 1213 01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:02.519 of that ship if you don't want to, like you 1214 01:08:02.719 --> 01:08:03.639 just go like. 1215 01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:07.800 I mean, you're you're not wrong. There's a lot of 1216 01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:10.480 people that had like the I talked about this, and 1217 01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:12.800 we we talked about, you know, the game being our 1218 01:08:12.840 --> 01:08:14.920 game of the year whatever. This was a sentiment that 1219 01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:18.399 the further away we got from the game coming out 1220 01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:22.159 more nor people had this sentiment of oh my god, 1221 01:08:22.279 --> 01:08:24.560 you're just spinning your wheels. So you get to the end, 1222 01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:28.000 and it's so much doing the same thing over and over, 1223 01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:31.159 and it's a lot of this stuff feels mandatory, even 1224 01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:33.680 though it's not because I want to. I want to 1225 01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:37.159 experience everything. And it's like, well, technically, you just you 1226 01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:39.840 don't have to, right like you said. 1227 01:08:40.119 --> 01:08:43.039 You're to do all the battle simulations or you know, 1228 01:08:43.199 --> 01:08:46.279 most of that ship if you want to, you avoid it, 1229 01:08:46.399 --> 01:08:46.680 move on. 1230 01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:49.680 You don't have to do a lot of the extra stuff. 1231 01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:52.520 You don't have to do the I mean, I get 1232 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:56.520 it that this stuff with Gilgamesh is cool. Uh So 1233 01:08:56.680 --> 01:08:58.640 that means you have to do some of those terrible 1234 01:08:58.760 --> 01:08:59.960 mini games also, but. 1235 01:09:01.039 --> 01:09:05.319 Like, but yeah, you know. The two other funny things 1236 01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:08.920 is the dude reviewing it for PC Gamer. He reviewed 1237 01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:11.359 it on because he gave it. He gives this pick. 1238 01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:16.359 PC specs out twenty sixty TI like an NVID twenty 1239 01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:20.760 sixty TI, and it's like, dude, that's old, Like that's 1240 01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:24.479 like five years old, maybe six years old, like right, 1241 01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:27.560 Like I would assume I don't know if this guy 1242 01:09:27.960 --> 01:09:29.920 is like a freelancer or if he like writes for 1243 01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:33.840 a staff writer or something, but you'd assume PC gamer 1244 01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:38.640 would have PC gamer type rigs, not something like from 1245 01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:42.479 five years ago. And the other funny thing about PC Gamer, 1246 01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:44.880 and this is separate from the review, there weren't another 1247 01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:48.920 shitty article about how the game doesn't run run well 1248 01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:51.880 on the Steam deck and it's like, oh wow, no, 1249 01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:55.840 no fucking shit, it doesn't run well, you idiots, Like 1250 01:09:56.520 --> 01:10:00.239 they were like, oh, it's not as good as it 1251 01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:02.680 doesn't look visually as good as met Solid five and 1252 01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:07.279 Mad Match. It's like, are you guys stupid? Like those 1253 01:10:07.359 --> 01:10:11.000 games came out a decade ago, Like yeah, I would 1254 01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:13.119 say the fact that runs at all on the Steam 1255 01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:15.840 Deck is kind of a miracle like and there. 1256 01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:19.319 I mean, there's people that know how to optimize really 1257 01:10:19.359 --> 01:10:21.199 well for the Steam Deck and stuff, but there's a 1258 01:10:21.279 --> 01:10:25.079 lot of things that don't run. Like, uh, I think 1259 01:10:25.239 --> 01:10:29.479 he talked about Eternal Strands. Is that great one deck? 1260 01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:33.960 Like there's it. You know, there's games that are great 1261 01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:36.760 for Steam Deck, and there's games that like, yo, you 1262 01:10:36.920 --> 01:10:38.520 you're gonna be able to run it, but it's not 1263 01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:44.279 gonna be amazing because it's just too difficult for the Steam. 1264 01:10:44.399 --> 01:10:46.800 Too demanding or you know, the scheme. Even when the 1265 01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:50.079 seam that came out, it wasn't like the pinnacle of technology, 1266 01:10:50.600 --> 01:10:51.840 Like yeah, I. 1267 01:10:51.880 --> 01:10:54.279 Mean that's the thing is Like I think they also, 1268 01:10:54.439 --> 01:10:57.520 like they mentioned it during this like they're actually very 1269 01:10:57.600 --> 01:11:01.039 similar to the Xbox Series S specs. Yeah, so it's 1270 01:11:01.159 --> 01:11:04.720 like if the seriess had problems running stuff, do you 1271 01:11:04.840 --> 01:11:06.840 think that the Steam Deck's going to be able to 1272 01:11:07.119 --> 01:11:07.960 run that? 1273 01:11:08.239 --> 01:11:08.359 Right? 1274 01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:12.560 Like, you know, I'm pretty sure Series S is gonna 1275 01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:14.399 have a problem running this game if it ever shows 1276 01:11:14.479 --> 01:11:15.640 up on Xbox, right, like. 1277 01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:18.680 Right, well, it'll be like the seven to twenty t 1278 01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:22.199 version or like Tenny you know, like right, but it's 1279 01:11:22.239 --> 01:11:24.520 just like really baffling, like who has an axe to 1280 01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:28.520 grind it at the editorial board for PC Gamer, it's 1281 01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:29.800 like a life. 1282 01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:35.720 Yeah, it feels like, you know, maybe they didn't. I 1283 01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:38.199 don't know if they necessarily. I'm sure that they do 1284 01:11:38.279 --> 01:11:40.920 their research people that they bring on as a freelancer 1285 01:11:41.000 --> 01:11:44.039 or whatever, like what are you respecting your PC? But like, 1286 01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:47.079 I don't know, maybe because they thought, Okay, well, this 1287 01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:50.000 game's old, like people already played it on PS five, 1288 01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:51.640 so it doesn't really matter. We don't have to be 1289 01:11:51.720 --> 01:11:54.239 running it at the you know, a forty with a 1290 01:11:54.319 --> 01:11:57.159 forty ninety or you know, all that stuff to view it. 1291 01:11:58.600 --> 01:12:01.479 I would say forgetting you know, well I forget if 1292 01:12:01.520 --> 01:12:04.239 you're gonna get rebirth or you know, remake. Obviously, like 1293 01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:07.000 you need a powerful machine to run it, Like, right, 1294 01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:10.159 let's not play around here, guys, like you know, yeah, 1295 01:12:10.199 --> 01:12:14.079 definitely a five dollars computer to run it or anything 1296 01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:16.000 like that. But you need a decent computer. 1297 01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:18.199 I mean, there's a reason why it looks so much 1298 01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:20.920 better on the five pro right. 1299 01:12:21.359 --> 01:12:25.319 Right, So so yeah, I like it quite a bit. 1300 01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:26.960 The only the only thing I kind of wish you 1301 01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:29.960 did have. I wish it had a benchmark because you 1302 01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:32.640 just have a decent autographical options and having something like 1303 01:12:32.760 --> 01:12:38.600 test it out would be actually helpful because fifteen had that, Uh, 1304 01:12:39.079 --> 01:12:40.119 but these later ones don't. 1305 01:12:40.960 --> 01:12:45.119 Speaking of fifteen, you brought that up. This Rebirth apparently 1306 01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:48.960 has the highest concurrence of any single player fantasy game ever. 1307 01:12:49.239 --> 01:12:52.800 Yeah, PC, that's what happens when you launch it on Steam, 1308 01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:54.039 you know as well? 1309 01:12:54.159 --> 01:12:57.119 Yeah that's true, right, that you don't have the stupid epic. 1310 01:12:57.600 --> 01:13:00.680 I don't know the remake would have done the those numbers, 1311 01:13:02.039 --> 01:13:05.399 but you know it probably would have done something similar, 1312 01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:07.279 Like I think it would be a lot higher on 1313 01:13:07.359 --> 01:13:10.680 the list, right had it come out instead of being 1314 01:13:10.680 --> 01:13:11.319 a year later. 1315 01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:14.399 Speaking speaking of that, I had a hat because I 1316 01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:17.720 don't have remake on PC. Yeah, but I still wanted 1317 01:13:17.760 --> 01:13:22.760 that fucking material, the import your save material. Yeah, so 1318 01:13:22.800 --> 01:13:25.800 I had to download a save like from remake and 1319 01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:31.199 then like hacking into Rebirth like find your Steam I 1320 01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:33.640 D and then create a folder and then put the 1321 01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:37.039 save in there. And the other nice thing about the 1322 01:13:37.079 --> 01:13:40.720 PC version, uh, you know that one of my complaints 1323 01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:43.439 about the game initially was like the fire ice material 1324 01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:46.319 you can only get one, or like the wind thunder 1325 01:13:47.359 --> 01:13:48.880 or like like new material you can only get one 1326 01:13:48.960 --> 01:13:51.159 per game, not anymore. 1327 01:13:51.880 --> 01:13:54.159 Oh well, is it because of a mod or something. 1328 01:13:55.079 --> 01:13:57.079 I just had Cheat Engine and it has a material 1329 01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:00.560 material editor, so you can change material into whatever you want. 1330 01:14:01.960 --> 01:14:04.479 So I have like you can do that and then 1331 01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:07.640 you can like max it out. Yeah, so I'm trying 1332 01:14:07.680 --> 01:14:09.560 not to like abuse it too much, but it's like, yep, 1333 01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:12.439 I'm just gonna give everyone one fire ice and one 1334 01:14:12.560 --> 01:14:14.399 wind thunder and let him go. 1335 01:14:15.479 --> 01:14:16.960 Make the game a lot easier for sure. 1336 01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:20.119 Yeah. Well, I really hated the material juggling in the 1337 01:14:20.439 --> 01:14:21.479 in Rebirth, you know. 1338 01:14:22.039 --> 01:14:25.239 Yeah, that was annoying. Not gonna be definitely that. It 1339 01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:28.239 would have been so nice to have like a auto 1340 01:14:28.359 --> 01:14:34.119 remove and like just have different slot like a set. 1341 01:14:34.199 --> 01:14:37.359 That you yeah, like set a set B or like 1342 01:14:37.439 --> 01:14:39.680 when when they separate your party. So it's like, oh, 1343 01:14:40.479 --> 01:14:43.479 now I'm controlling Barrett and Red thirteen to this fucking cave. 1344 01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:47.399 It's like, Okay, put the assessed materia on Barrett, you know, 1345 01:14:47.439 --> 01:14:50.199 put the heel materia on the dow or the cat, 1346 01:14:50.439 --> 01:14:54.159 you know. But I didn't. I obviously didn't finish in 1347 01:14:54.159 --> 01:14:56.399 the game or anything, but I got I'm in like 1348 01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:00.279 the end of the June on region ah, and yeah, 1349 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:02.640 that game really still holds up. I mean I think 1350 01:15:02.640 --> 01:15:05.640 it's better on PC than five. So that's how I 1351 01:15:05.640 --> 01:15:06.479 gave it a higher score. 1352 01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:11.840 Yeah, fair enough, that makes sense. Yeah, so I mean 1353 01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:12.840 I'll go ahead. 1354 01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:15.159 Sorry, No, I bought a copy of a star os 1355 01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:15.840 and for PS one. 1356 01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:17.279 Nice. 1357 01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:22.279 Yeah, it's getting cheap, so are right? Screw it as well. 1358 01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:27.840 Also, before we get off the Final Fantasy remake train, 1359 01:15:28.439 --> 01:15:32.800 there was a story this week from Hamagucci Son where 1360 01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:37.880 he talks about two things. One that people misconstrued his 1361 01:15:38.199 --> 01:15:41.560 quote about the mini game. He says they're not going 1362 01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:44.039 to remove the amount of mini games. He's just going 1363 01:15:44.199 --> 01:15:47.840 to change the way that you have to do them 1364 01:15:47.880 --> 01:15:51.239 in the game, whereas probably more of going to make 1365 01:15:51.279 --> 01:15:54.359 them more optional than they are, but that they're still 1366 01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:55.359 going to be a huge amount. 1367 01:15:55.800 --> 01:15:59.399 That's bad, I think because it's a just have like 1368 01:15:59.640 --> 01:16:03.079 ten good mini games, not twenty, and half of them 1369 01:16:03.159 --> 01:16:04.680 are like mediocre to battle well. 1370 01:16:04.600 --> 01:16:06.600 But if you don't have to do most of them, 1371 01:16:07.039 --> 01:16:08.680 then why does it matter that it's there for. 1372 01:16:08.720 --> 01:16:12.439 Your Well, I'm sure it'll still cont to some progress 1373 01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:13.920 in the game somewhere. 1374 01:16:14.039 --> 01:16:16.640 Like that fucking I mean, he also mentioned that they're 1375 01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:18.479 definitely gonna make the Platinum O but. 1376 01:16:18.960 --> 01:16:21.000 Well and not even that, remember that getting the seven 1377 01:16:21.119 --> 01:16:25.760 Star Hotel. Yes, all the arcane shit you had to 1378 01:16:25.800 --> 01:16:29.399 do for that, it's oh my god. But also why 1379 01:16:30.119 --> 01:16:33.159 why have it at all? Like it's just resources that 1380 01:16:33.399 --> 01:16:35.960 like you don't need it, Like it's just you don't 1381 01:16:35.960 --> 01:16:38.239 need to spend the resources on this crap, like may 1382 01:16:38.359 --> 01:16:40.960 either make the overall game better or make like the 1383 01:16:41.079 --> 01:16:43.479 ten mini games that are in the game better. Don't 1384 01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:45.159 have you know, well, I. 1385 01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:47.920 Mean, if they want to try to do the original 1386 01:16:48.159 --> 01:16:51.479 Justice and have all the minigames, then that makes sense, right, like. 1387 01:16:51.560 --> 01:16:53.880 Well, like the Red thirteen Rocket League. 1388 01:16:53.640 --> 01:17:00.800 Thing, not that Rocket League bullshit. But like, look, they 1389 01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:03.239 obviously made ones up that weren't in the original and 1390 01:17:03.239 --> 01:17:05.079 a lot of stuff just to add more, and that's fine, 1391 01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:07.680 Like look, I just think that they shouldn't have been 1392 01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:12.199 they should have been more. Made it more obvious that 1393 01:17:12.319 --> 01:17:14.840 a lot of them were optional, which that was a problem, 1394 01:17:14.960 --> 01:17:20.760 Like nobody knew unless you purposely failed that you could 1395 01:17:20.880 --> 01:17:24.760 fail out of the what's it called? Why can't I 1396 01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:28.760 think the card game Queen's Blood the Queen's Blood Tournament 1397 01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:34.439 on the ship until you know it's like, oh, you 1398 01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:37.439 have to like go into a corner and select that 1399 01:17:37.479 --> 01:17:38.800 you don't want to be in it, and then you 1400 01:17:38.840 --> 01:17:40.800 don't realize that, oh, it doesn't really do anything. You 1401 01:17:40.840 --> 01:17:43.680 don't miss anything if you don't do it, other than 1402 01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:48.319 I think you would probably miss the Red thirteen thing. 1403 01:17:49.119 --> 01:17:52.359 So it's like yeah, yeah, and the trophy, right, the 1404 01:17:52.439 --> 01:17:56.039 trophy of doing all the Queen's Blood stuff, so you know, 1405 01:17:56.479 --> 01:17:58.279 but that's it. I mean, that's a whole story line 1406 01:17:58.279 --> 01:18:00.520 that they did with Queen's Blood and and that makes 1407 01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:03.760 sense of its own accord. But the other one that 1408 01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:09.680 was kind of making the rounds more to because of 1409 01:18:09.800 --> 01:18:12.439 their strategy now very similar to xboxes if they wanted 1410 01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:15.319 to do everything multi platform. They don't want to be 1411 01:18:15.479 --> 01:18:18.520 exclusive to only Sony Systems because they want to make 1412 01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:21.159 the most money possible. But they're a third party that 1413 01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:26.760 makes more sense, right. Apparently they're kind of letting you 1414 01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:30.840 know that for sure FOM Fantasy seven Part three is 1415 01:18:30.920 --> 01:18:33.199 going to come out to four the PS six because 1416 01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:37.279 it will not be a PS six exclusive. Probably more 1417 01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:39.560 likely that it's saying that it will come out on 1418 01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:40.239 PS five. 1419 01:18:40.399 --> 01:18:43.800 Also, No, it's maybe like Appress of the Wild where 1420 01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:44.279 it's on going. 1421 01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:47.840 And I honestly still think that it's coming out twenty 1422 01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:51.600 twenty seven, the whatever year anniversary of FAM Fantasy seven, 1423 01:18:51.640 --> 01:18:54.239 that is what thirtieth year anniversary. I still think that 1424 01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:55.960 they're aiming for that, and I don't think we're gonna 1425 01:18:55.960 --> 01:18:59.520 get the PlayStation six by then, unless. 1426 01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:02.600 Yeah, I could see PS six come out like twenty 1427 01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:04.560 twenty eight, possibly that was the. 1428 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:07.439 Idea originally, or I could see it come like late 1429 01:19:07.600 --> 01:19:10.119 twenty twenty seven, like after the game has already come out, 1430 01:19:10.720 --> 01:19:13.560 and then they they have a super like the Luxe. 1431 01:19:14.039 --> 01:19:16.079 Yeah. I was just gonna say, they're gonna have some 1432 01:19:16.279 --> 01:19:19.720 three three game collector's edition or it comes to the 1433 01:19:19.800 --> 01:19:23.520 life size suffer Us statue and yeah, with ten thousand dollars. 1434 01:19:24.359 --> 01:19:26.600 Yeah, and then like, oh it'll all look pretty because 1435 01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:29.640 now it'll be this is for PS six graphics or 1436 01:19:29.840 --> 01:19:32.600 you know, right then you can buy it all over again. 1437 01:19:33.560 --> 01:19:36.680 Oh yeah, speaking of that, my roommate got a PS 1438 01:19:36.760 --> 01:19:42.119 five pro.

And you think 1444 01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:02.159 it's because he's right above of my downstairs neighbors modem 1445 01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:06.439 or her like wi fi source. So it's like so strong. 1446 01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:10.359 It's we tried like connecting it wired or something just 1447 01:20:10.439 --> 01:20:11.399 to see if it will. 1448 01:20:12.039 --> 01:20:14.359 No, can he bring his console in her, you know, 1449 01:20:14.800 --> 01:20:17.119 but but I'm connected to do it. I'm trying to 1450 01:20:17.159 --> 01:20:20.359 do it via the wired but like I tried to, 1451 01:20:20.439 --> 01:20:22.479 like look for the Wi fi that work. I can 1452 01:20:22.520 --> 01:20:23.119 see just time. 1453 01:20:23.720 --> 01:20:26.399 Yeah, so it's not that they find out doesn't exist. 1454 01:20:26.479 --> 01:20:31.640 It's that like his five pro camp yep. But yeah, 1455 01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:34.600 so you know, at least that's some good news that 1456 01:20:35.159 --> 01:20:36.920 for sure it's coming to PS five. Some people that 1457 01:20:37.039 --> 01:20:39.279 own PS fives that maybe don't want to rush out 1458 01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:43.439 of buy the PlayStation six or can't depending on how 1459 01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:47.880 much how pricey it is, be rust assured that she'll 1460 01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:49.760 be able to play the whole thing on PS five, 1461 01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:52.239 Which that's good because I think we'll see what wanted 1462 01:20:52.239 --> 01:20:58.359 to be able to do that right important, Yeah, exactly 1463 01:20:58.399 --> 01:21:00.560 all those things on for and everything.

I own the PS five 1466 01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:08.159 and hopefully it will run well on the five, and 1467 01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:09.640 I don't need to feel like I have to buy 1468 01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:10.439 PSI Pro. 1469 01:21:11.119 --> 01:21:13.760 Whatever when when it comes down on the switch to you've. 1470 01:21:13.520 --> 01:21:17.119 Been on there as well, you know what, I'll buy 1471 01:21:17.119 --> 01:21:21.560 it on Xbox. You want to, It's no, I'm no. 1472 01:21:22.359 --> 01:21:25.039 I don't want to rebuy too many things. It's like 1473 01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:29.840 these games are way too expensive already rebuying games that much. 1474 01:21:31.039 --> 01:21:35.359 But yeah, so there's your full fantasy.

I feel like 1477 01:21:43.319 --> 01:21:48.279 they have constantly talking about something really quick to find 1478 01:21:48.399 --> 01:21:55.279 the end the PlayStation. Uh stuff here President Evil movies. Uh, 1479 01:21:56.399 --> 01:22:00.960 it's getting a reboot again. Not surprising. I mean, Resident 1480 01:22:01.319 --> 01:22:08.079 was resid was that its highest peak. It's been as 1481 01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:10.720 far as the series of franchise that people are really 1482 01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:14.119 enjoying and liking the remakes and the you know, whenever 1483 01:22:14.199 --> 01:22:17.159 we get Resident Evil nine, rumors are that the next 1484 01:22:17.279 --> 01:22:22.279 remake is going to be Resident Evil zero apparently, which, 1485 01:22:22.640 --> 01:22:25.399 to be fair, it really does need that it has 1486 01:22:25.479 --> 01:22:31.159 the terrible take controls whatever. Well, you know, you know 1487 01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:33.199 how they do with I feel like Cover is gonna 1488 01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:36.960 be like the last one. And also Residuevil six got 1489 01:22:37.039 --> 01:22:41.720 like rated for series X and PS five apparently, but 1490 01:22:42.039 --> 01:22:45.319 that's supposed to be like a port not necessarily the remake. 1491 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:50.680 So I don't know, but okay, yes, like Mark said, 1492 01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:52.680 this is the this would be the third goal around 1493 01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:56.760 with with the Residueval movies. According to the Hollywood Reporter, 1494 01:22:57.720 --> 01:23:02.319 uh this is the next uh Bustation Studios movie thing, 1495 01:23:02.680 --> 01:23:05.560 but there are also other studios that that are bidding 1496 01:23:05.680 --> 01:23:11.359 for the movie, including Winner Brothers and Netflix. Constantines owned 1497 01:23:11.399 --> 01:23:18.079 the rights to it until recently, and you know, they 1498 01:23:18.159 --> 01:23:19.840 did try to bring it back with that Welcome to 1499 01:23:19.920 --> 01:23:24.159 Raccoon City, which was fine. It's just wasn't super. 1500 01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:27.560 Low budgeting, yeah, but a still budget and the story 1501 01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:29.119 was just kind of all over the place. And it 1502 01:23:29.239 --> 01:23:33.479 had bad casting. Yes, that some bad casting. I actually 1503 01:23:33.560 --> 01:23:36.560 do like. I like the chicks they had playing Jill 1504 01:23:36.680 --> 01:23:37.159 and Claire. 1505 01:23:38.399 --> 01:23:38.720 Agree. 1506 01:23:38.840 --> 01:23:44.479 Claire was really good, yeah, Kaya I think is her name? Yes, 1507 01:23:45.520 --> 01:23:47.640 Chris was okay, but like the guy they had Landa 1508 01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:49.039 was like terrible. Yeah. 1509 01:23:50.319 --> 01:23:54.600 Uh but yeah, we'll see what that is. Are they 1510 01:23:54.640 --> 01:23:56.960 going to try to make it more like the game, 1511 01:23:57.159 --> 01:23:58.920 so they're going to do their own thing. Is it 1512 01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:01.439 going to have anything to do with like is it 1513 01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:03.439 Are they going to try to start with residue but one? 1514 01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:06.920 Or are they going to do the the Djoeovic thing 1515 01:24:07.039 --> 01:24:08.600 of just oh this is going to be its own 1516 01:24:08.640 --> 01:24:11.119 thing and have nothing to do following the TV show. 1517 01:24:11.880 --> 01:24:14.439 Yeah, it always works well when when they do their 1518 01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:14.920 own thing. 1519 01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:19.520 That was something I mean, like I wanted to like that. 1520 01:24:20.319 --> 01:24:22.520 The bummer about that show is like that's like the 1521 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:23.760 last thing answer it was in. 1522 01:24:24.279 --> 01:24:27.079 Yeah, man, because of answer, I wanted to like it 1523 01:24:27.279 --> 01:24:31.159 a lot.

Oh boy. Uh, not 1533 01:25:07.199 --> 01:25:12.039 surprised at all with all of this terrible news about Ubisoft. Uh, 1534 01:25:12.239 --> 01:25:15.199 they have laid off one hundred and eighty five employees 1535 01:25:15.920 --> 01:25:21.279 and also closed Ubisoft Learnington, which was the previous Freestyle Games, 1536 01:25:21.319 --> 01:25:26.000 which was the DJ Hero. Developer loved dj Hero when 1537 01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:30.119 it was the first one. They they made some creative 1538 01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:37.520 stuff with from Freestyle Games. Unfortunate that they bought it 1539 01:25:38.359 --> 01:25:40.560 and then now that studio is closing and all these 1540 01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:42.439 people are losing their jobs. 1541 01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:44.319 So they bought it and then didn't be shipped with 1542 01:25:44.399 --> 01:25:47.279 it except for like support video for Colon Bones and. 1543 01:25:49.560 --> 01:25:56.680 Great, they're restructuring Ubisoft Dusseldorf, stock Holm and Reflections along 1544 01:25:56.720 --> 01:25:57.199 with closing. 1545 01:25:57.279 --> 01:26:02.760 Why why did they even have studios in Duseldorf put the. 1546 01:26:04.920 --> 01:26:07.760 Way, too many freaking studios for one. 1547 01:26:07.680 --> 01:26:10.840 Yeah, they have only satellite support studios or satellite studios. 1548 01:26:10.880 --> 01:26:13.399 It's like no wonder, like you can barely make a 1549 01:26:13.479 --> 01:26:16.159 game or you know, it's such a schizophrenic mess most 1550 01:26:16.199 --> 01:26:17.119 of the time nowadays. 1551 01:26:17.840 --> 01:26:20.079 I mean, I guess it helps them not have to 1552 01:26:20.159 --> 01:26:23.680 go use contractors. But it's just like, my lord, I 1553 01:26:23.720 --> 01:26:25.960 mean the studios, do you need. 1554 01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:31.119 Big companies use contractors. It's like a contractor is good 1555 01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:33.560 because you don't have to keep paying those people money 1556 01:26:33.640 --> 01:26:36.319 after the fact they do six months or a year 1557 01:26:36.439 --> 01:26:39.319 or two years and then move on you and then 1558 01:26:39.439 --> 01:26:43.920 move on. We saw Duseldorf, you know, to support the 1559 01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:47.079 twenty people that work in that country, you know that 1560 01:26:47.239 --> 01:26:49.960 city for you like it's uh. 1561 01:26:50.039 --> 01:26:53.479 They were also support on Avatar and Park five. But 1562 01:26:54.359 --> 01:26:58.560 you know, listen, it sucks for these people losing their jawses. 1563 01:26:58.600 --> 01:27:01.439 I always say every time we have to talk about layoffs, 1564 01:27:03.319 --> 01:27:07.359 it's just you yourself just continues to have bad pre 1565 01:27:07.439 --> 01:27:14.039 us even with the sort of mostly positive usage creed 1566 01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:21.439 shadows previews.

There's just see people that have 1584 01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:24.039 problems with the fact that essentially, like like, nobody asked 1585 01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:26.119 to be able to play with a character like that, 1586 01:28:27.880 --> 01:28:31.319 and you gave that to us, and it's like then 1587 01:28:31.399 --> 01:28:33.720 you add in all the other the grifter stuff or 1588 01:28:33.760 --> 01:28:36.720 the stuff about not Kurt you know, curcially accurate or 1589 01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:37.399 whatever the hell. 1590 01:28:38.039 --> 01:28:43.279 And I've been I've been really enjoying, uh, the Asthma 1591 01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:46.439 Gold videos on this thing, because he makes a video 1592 01:28:46.439 --> 01:28:49.279 about shadows every two days. He's pitching and moaning about 1593 01:28:49.279 --> 01:28:52.520 it constantly, and it's like, dude, you haven't even played 1594 01:28:52.520 --> 01:28:56.079 Assassins Creed before, Like why do you have fourteen videos 1595 01:28:56.119 --> 01:28:56.800 on this bullshit? 1596 01:28:57.199 --> 01:29:00.680 Because he's the number one grifter dude, Yeah, like you 1597 01:29:00.720 --> 01:29:03.920 don't care about at all, So like that he just 1598 01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:06.439 starts to find anything negative that he can make a 1599 01:29:06.520 --> 01:29:07.800 Video one and obviously it. 1600 01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:10.479 Works, right, there are some points like not about this game. 1601 01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:13.439 Obviously there are some points out ideas and what's about 1602 01:29:13.720 --> 01:29:16.680 specific other games, but like this game, it's like living 1603 01:29:16.720 --> 01:29:18.920 rent free in his head and it's like, dude, like 1604 01:29:19.239 --> 01:29:20.319 get a life or. 1605 01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:24.640 You know, do something else, man, find something else to 1606 01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:29.760 go hate on. Yeah, But aside from that, it's just 1607 01:29:29.880 --> 01:29:33.840 like it's continued to be negative for this team, and man, 1608 01:29:33.960 --> 01:29:40.920 if Shadows does not hit targets, right, man, I hate 1609 01:29:40.960 --> 01:29:44.039 to think about what what other heads are going to 1610 01:29:44.199 --> 01:29:49.960 roll figuratively, not the one that matterstunately exactly. Unfortunately, the 1611 01:29:50.039 --> 01:29:53.399 one that matters, that should be stepping down or taking 1612 01:29:53.439 --> 01:29:56.399 a pay cut or doing something starts with a why 1613 01:29:57.359 --> 01:30:01.600 it's not doing it. And it's very sad that he 1614 01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:05.399 continues to be able to just be there trying to 1615 01:30:05.520 --> 01:30:08.199 set some kind of thing we talked about last week, 1616 01:30:08.600 --> 01:30:13.199 and somehow somebody doesn't try to do something but remove 1617 01:30:13.279 --> 01:30:19.159 these Yeah, speaking of not hitting targets, unfortunately for Dragon Age, 1618 01:30:19.239 --> 01:30:24.359 Vilguard did not hit sell targets to the fact that 1619 01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:27.960 EA is pulling a Microsoft and not even talking about 1620 01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:31.760 sales numbers. They are talking about one point five million 1621 01:30:31.840 --> 01:30:33.279 people interacted with. 1622 01:30:33.399 --> 01:30:36.520 The game from demo and. 1623 01:30:38.920 --> 01:30:41.479 Not just the demo. It's they bought it through EA 1624 01:30:41.680 --> 01:30:47.680 play right or did the trial and then continue playing. 1625 01:30:48.439 --> 01:30:51.880 And of course, you know, the writing didn't help the 1626 01:30:52.800 --> 01:30:58.039 story around. It didn't help about the all the different 1627 01:30:58.840 --> 01:31:04.279 gender bending and all this stuff, storylines and whatever. The 1628 01:31:04.479 --> 01:31:14.039 creative director, the game's director, corn Bert Bush left, She said, 1629 01:31:14.039 --> 01:31:16.239 apparently she got an offer she couldn't turn down at 1630 01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:21.600 another c RPG studio or making another CRPG, but she 1631 01:31:21.840 --> 01:31:23.319 was happy with what she did at Viral, where she 1632 01:31:23.399 --> 01:31:27.279 brought him back to I guess some semblance of riding 1633 01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:30.239 the ship as she called it, apparently acquented to EA. 1634 01:31:30.600 --> 01:31:34.640 This was not writing the ship. It seemed like it 1635 01:31:34.840 --> 01:31:37.840 was doing well, right, like it was on the charts 1636 01:31:37.920 --> 01:31:43.800 for October and November and then nada, right, and that 1637 01:31:44.119 --> 01:31:47.600 it just sucks. I hate that for the team. I 1638 01:31:47.680 --> 01:31:50.279 hate that for the teams, but you. 1639 01:31:50.319 --> 01:31:54.800 Know, I dislike it. But on the flip side, did 1640 01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:58.079 you know about Unknown nine, that that disaster. 1641 01:31:58.479 --> 01:32:03.079 Yeah, the Vanaamco, Yeah that, like they. 1642 01:32:02.960 --> 01:32:05.119 Should have known better. But also like the fact that 1643 01:32:05.319 --> 01:32:09.640 they're trying to build this like whole big multimedia cluster. 1644 01:32:09.720 --> 01:32:13.359 Fucktastic roadmap thing when it's like this is an unknown 1645 01:32:13.399 --> 01:32:17.279 proper like an unknown property, slower role a little. 1646 01:32:19.159 --> 01:32:21.960 Definitely, we got we. 1647 01:32:22.039 --> 01:32:24.960 Got comics, we got new we got novels, we got podcasts, 1648 01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:28.680 and yo, put it a good game first, then then 1649 01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:31.640 deal with this like if it hits then that's cool. 1650 01:32:31.760 --> 01:32:37.479 But like no, no, it's like I just it sucks 1651 01:32:37.520 --> 01:32:40.119 for dragon Age, for the people that made dragon Age, 1652 01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:43.680 like you know, it was apparently it was a good game, 1653 01:32:43.960 --> 01:32:48.359 just wasn't a great dragon Age. And then also it 1654 01:32:48.479 --> 01:32:51.199 started as a lot of service game and then uh 1655 01:32:51.359 --> 01:32:56.079 she apparently saved it from or kind of helped mold 1656 01:32:56.159 --> 01:32:59.680 it into what it became, like the hybrid, right, a 1657 01:32:59.760 --> 01:33:02.960 lot of people they didn't like that the the worlds 1658 01:33:03.520 --> 01:33:07.720 weren't big enough and the mission structure wasn't great. Stuff 1659 01:33:07.760 --> 01:33:07.920 like that. 1660 01:33:08.560 --> 01:33:12.119 I really think. Well. I saw also the rumors that 1661 01:33:12.279 --> 01:33:13.960 like you know, EA is gon to close a bio 1662 01:33:14.000 --> 01:33:17.439 where Edmonton office and yeah, it's not gonna happen, like 1663 01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:20.319 it's not yet, but no, it just puts more and 1664 01:33:20.359 --> 01:33:21.640 more pressure on mass effects. Five. 1665 01:33:22.159 --> 01:33:24.680 And definitely I've seen a lot I've seen some people 1666 01:33:24.800 --> 01:33:29.000 say that like either let them change their name or 1667 01:33:29.199 --> 01:33:32.279 maybe even get to the point of closing biowhere because 1668 01:33:32.960 --> 01:33:37.680 they're not the same people anymore. It's like a shell 1669 01:33:37.840 --> 01:33:39.119 of what buyo Where used to be. 1670 01:33:41.319 --> 01:33:43.720 Some QA caster there always been there since the beginning. 1671 01:33:43.800 --> 01:33:47.319 That's about it. I mean like audio engineer or something. 1672 01:33:47.399 --> 01:33:50.520 But yeah, everyone everyone who like made bio where bio 1673 01:33:50.520 --> 01:33:51.600 Where is pretty much gone. 1674 01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:54.199 Yeah, I mean I know Platinum's kind of going through 1675 01:33:54.279 --> 01:33:56.359 similar things where a lot of the old guard or 1676 01:33:56.520 --> 01:33:58.079 leaving and things like that. 1677 01:33:59.079 --> 01:34:02.960 The problem with that is the buywhere names at least 1678 01:34:03.039 --> 01:34:03.840 some cache. 1679 01:34:03.600 --> 01:34:07.279 A Yeah, and I think that's why EA can't bring them. 1680 01:34:08.079 --> 01:34:10.720 Yeah, it's changed like e Edmonton or e A Canada 1681 01:34:10.920 --> 01:34:14.399 or whatever whatever. Remember when they they were so high 1682 01:34:14.439 --> 01:34:16.119 on BioWare They're like ten years ago. They were teaming 1683 01:34:16.199 --> 01:34:20.319 all the studios like Buyowhere, Victory or biowear like for 1684 01:34:20.439 --> 01:34:22.720 like a month and then they reverted back because they're 1685 01:34:22.720 --> 01:34:23.159 like there's. 1686 01:34:22.960 --> 01:34:26.960 A dumb like yeah, it's it's just like it's crazy 1687 01:34:27.159 --> 01:34:30.840 how far they have fallen to the point where, like 1688 01:34:30.960 --> 01:34:33.800 you said, there's a lot of pressure now on Mass 1689 01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:36.159 Effect five to deliver I. 1690 01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:39.840 Think if mass efixt five bombs or doesn't do as 1691 01:34:39.880 --> 01:34:42.760 well and let's face it, it probably won't. You know, 1692 01:34:43.319 --> 01:34:46.319 like even like Dead not Dead Island, dead Space that 1693 01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:47.920 was a good game, or you know, and that. 1694 01:34:48.159 --> 01:34:50.600 Dead Space did pretty well for being a whore game. 1695 01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:52.600 It's just they needed to do more than two million. 1696 01:34:52.680 --> 01:34:54.760 Yeah, that's the problem. It's like, even if it did well, 1697 01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:56.960 it's not well enough for EA or didn't do like 1698 01:34:57.439 --> 01:35:00.319 ten million copies. It's like it's not going to same 1699 01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:03.960 with Massive five. Like even if I sold three million copies, 1700 01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:05.640 they probably still look at it as a disappointment. 1701 01:35:07.479 --> 01:35:10.319 That's the thing is they needed I feel it sounds 1702 01:35:10.399 --> 01:35:12.760 like they needed Dragon ahe Vailguart to hit like the 1703 01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:13.479 three million. 1704 01:35:13.760 --> 01:35:16.079 Well that that was like their estimate or their forecast, 1705 01:35:16.760 --> 01:35:18.399 and so they got like one point five. 1706 01:35:18.479 --> 01:35:21.239 It's like, well, no, no, they didn't sell one. They're 1707 01:35:21.239 --> 01:35:22.079 saying one point. 1708 01:35:23.399 --> 01:35:23.680 Or whatever. 1709 01:35:23.840 --> 01:35:27.039 Yeah, but so I wonder if it even sold a million. Yeah, 1710 01:35:27.239 --> 01:35:29.000 like that's kind of right. 1711 01:35:29.439 --> 01:35:31.760 Hey, when it gets twenty bucks, I'll buy it. 1712 01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:37.600 Yeah. I mean they're also complaining about the A five 1713 01:35:37.680 --> 01:35:40.199 didn't apparently do as well as they needed to, but 1714 01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:43.079 it's still like the fifth best selling game of the 1715 01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:44.640 whole entire freaking year. 1716 01:35:44.960 --> 01:35:45.399 But you know. 1717 01:35:46.479 --> 01:35:49.119 I mean they also have on godly expectations for those 1718 01:35:49.159 --> 01:35:52.000 sports games to like give them so much money in 1719 01:35:52.079 --> 01:35:55.079 the live service part with the Ultimate Team and stuff that, 1720 01:35:55.319 --> 01:35:57.600 you know, I could believe that Apparently it didn't hit 1721 01:35:57.680 --> 01:35:59.760 whatever target, which is ridiculous, you know. 1722 01:36:00.079 --> 01:36:00.239 Yep. 1723 01:36:02.039 --> 01:36:06.520 Also they shut down EA Origin, which just like the 1724 01:36:06.640 --> 01:36:09.960 old program, right, which you have to convert to the 1725 01:36:10.079 --> 01:36:12.560 EA app. But apparently if you don't have a sixty 1726 01:36:12.600 --> 01:36:16.520 four bit system you cannot use it at all, so uh, 1727 01:36:16.760 --> 01:36:21.479 and which they stopped supporting Windows ten. Uh So the 1728 01:36:21.600 --> 01:36:24.319 only way you can do it is having Windows living 1729 01:36:24.359 --> 01:36:25.520 with a sixty four bit system. 1730 01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:26.079 Uh. 1731 01:36:26.279 --> 01:36:28.840 So that's the only way that all of your games 1732 01:36:28.880 --> 01:36:31.279 will convert over to the EA app if you only 1733 01:36:31.359 --> 01:36:35.560 have you know, them on PC. So yeah, if you 1734 01:36:35.640 --> 01:36:39.680 don't have a upgraded system. And also this includes uh 1735 01:36:40.399 --> 01:36:43.560 you have to have like a a big, a newer 1736 01:36:43.640 --> 01:36:48.640 version of Catalina for the Mac part of it. So yeah, 1737 01:36:48.720 --> 01:36:50.600 that sucks if you're kind of like locked out of 1738 01:36:50.640 --> 01:36:52.359 your games because. 1739 01:36:52.079 --> 01:36:56.399 Of that's such a niche market or niche number that 1740 01:36:57.199 --> 01:36:59.439 how many people really only having thirty two bit systems? 1741 01:36:59.680 --> 01:37:02.720 Like no, practically no one unless a twenty year old 1742 01:37:02.760 --> 01:37:03.800 machine right. 1743 01:37:03.920 --> 01:37:07.439 Yeah, so yeah, unless you were using it to like 1744 01:37:07.520 --> 01:37:10.720 play like really old games only or something like that, 1745 01:37:11.479 --> 01:37:14.079 right right, So, I mean any of the new stuff 1746 01:37:14.079 --> 01:37:18.279 you wouldn't be able to play anyway. But yeah, I 1747 01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:22.119 don't know, it's really quick here. Just because we always 1748 01:37:22.119 --> 01:37:25.960 talk about this stuff. Oh well, I shouldn't mention lost records. 1749 01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:29.319 Bluin Rage got delayed. The second part of it got 1750 01:37:29.359 --> 01:37:32.560 the lay till April fifteenth to give them time to 1751 01:37:33.439 --> 01:37:36.319 don't nod, you know, to give them time to be 1752 01:37:36.399 --> 01:37:39.000 able to get it right. And you know, the games 1753 01:37:39.119 --> 01:37:43.079 set over two timelines. The first part of it's still 1754 01:37:43.119 --> 01:37:47.119 going to come out on time, but apparently this is 1755 01:37:47.439 --> 01:37:50.920 going to get This is the free update that's supposed 1756 01:37:50.920 --> 01:37:53.119 to come later, so they're delaying it so they make 1757 01:37:53.159 --> 01:37:53.720 sure it's good. 1758 01:37:54.359 --> 01:37:54.560 Yeah. 1759 01:37:55.520 --> 01:37:59.600 You know, dough Nuts kind of been kind of doing 1760 01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:03.199 little bit, you know, different things. You know, Jussant was 1761 01:38:03.319 --> 01:38:07.840 well received. It was good Indie that was on game Pass. Yeah. 1762 01:38:07.920 --> 01:38:12.319 I still think their greatest game was Life Is Strange. 1763 01:38:12.760 --> 01:38:13.560 Oh yeah, for sure. 1764 01:38:14.199 --> 01:38:17.000 That's the problem is they keep making they keep making 1765 01:38:17.039 --> 01:38:21.279 stuff that doesn't really hit that well, and same as 1766 01:38:21.359 --> 01:38:22.079 Life is Strange. 1767 01:38:22.720 --> 01:38:24.800 Yeah, Now, Life is strange. It is kind of going 1768 01:38:24.880 --> 01:38:27.359 through that with Tech nine, where it's like, Okay, you 1769 01:38:27.439 --> 01:38:29.520 had True Colors that did great, and then it's like. 1770 01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:32.159 I didn't think I didn't think you Color did good though, 1771 01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:32.439 did it? 1772 01:38:33.039 --> 01:38:34.199 True Colors did really well? 1773 01:38:34.800 --> 01:38:35.000 Wow? 1774 01:38:36.359 --> 01:38:39.119 So and it got all that Game of the Year 1775 01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:43.279 stuff from people whatever. So but after that it's kind 1776 01:38:43.319 --> 01:38:46.720 of like they've really like bottomed out on that and 1777 01:38:46.920 --> 01:38:52.279 dough Nod's been really hit and miss on that. US 1778 01:38:52.359 --> 01:38:55.560 physical game spending has gone down significally since two thousand 1779 01:38:55.560 --> 01:38:58.640 and eight, according to Matt Piscatella from Sircana, you know 1780 01:38:58.720 --> 01:39:02.399 he reports on this stuff, saying that essuch of this 1781 01:39:02.600 --> 01:39:06.920 got kind of exacerbated by the pandemic because you know, 1782 01:39:07.079 --> 01:39:10.039 we were going to go buy physical copies, and also 1783 01:39:10.079 --> 01:39:13.119 the fact that the Switch has had a really down year, 1784 01:39:13.199 --> 01:39:15.239 which the switch kind of offsets a lot of the 1785 01:39:15.319 --> 01:39:20.680 physical the people buying digital to buy physical, which you know, 1786 01:39:20.760 --> 01:39:26.279 like Nintendo has like a their digital share is lower 1787 01:39:26.319 --> 01:39:28.880 than everybody else's, like theirs is that twenty They have 1788 01:39:28.960 --> 01:39:31.359 a twenty two percent share of people that buy physical, 1789 01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:38.560 whereas everybody else's Xbox PS five went up. Xbox was 1790 01:39:38.800 --> 01:39:42.199 seventy five from seventy PS fives was sixty four from 1791 01:39:42.239 --> 01:39:45.520 fifty five. But Nintendo's is there twenty two. A lot 1792 01:39:45.520 --> 01:39:49.479 of people buy physical for Nintendo, so yeah, maybe the 1793 01:39:49.560 --> 01:39:53.159 switch to will help offset that again, but so far 1794 01:39:53.319 --> 01:39:56.319 we're still leaning towards that of like, people are just 1795 01:39:56.960 --> 01:40:00.479 delving more and more into the convenience, right, it doesn't 1796 01:40:00.479 --> 01:40:02.319 help the PC is basically all digital. 1797 01:40:02.760 --> 01:40:05.640 Yeah, well like this, I can't remember the last time 1798 01:40:05.840 --> 01:40:08.479 they can't like buy a PC games, you know, digital 1799 01:40:08.680 --> 01:40:12.199 or physically. Yeah, I think like I have apolic fallout 1800 01:40:12.199 --> 01:40:13.239 New Vegas for PC. 1801 01:40:14.159 --> 01:40:17.720 You know, I mean, really, what what laptops or computers 1802 01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:20.800 getting made now unless you order it, specially that have 1803 01:40:20.960 --> 01:40:25.039 a distrib at all. Right, Yeah, so, and I think 1804 01:40:25.159 --> 01:40:29.119 Sony announced that they're not doing like rewriteables anymore either, 1805 01:40:29.840 --> 01:40:30.960 So for blue rays. 1806 01:40:31.560 --> 01:40:34.479 Yeah, I did a list a week ago for four 1807 01:40:34.720 --> 01:40:37.199 one about like games I'm looking forward to next this year, 1808 01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:41.359 and like I think I did like eight games. One 1809 01:40:41.399 --> 01:40:42.880 of them is kind of a PC game at Stive 1810 01:40:43.000 --> 01:40:46.439 six or Sive seven. Sorry, but someone in the comments 1811 01:40:46.600 --> 01:40:48.840 is like, how come there's no PC games on here? 1812 01:40:49.239 --> 01:40:52.399 And I'm like, yo, dog, like how many PC only 1813 01:40:52.479 --> 01:40:55.560 games are there coming out this year that you know, yeah. 1814 01:40:56.880 --> 01:40:59.119 You would have to go find the indies that don't. 1815 01:40:59.199 --> 01:41:01.199 That always still you see, and they come into the 1816 01:41:01.239 --> 01:41:04.119 consoles later, like all the big games come to PC, 1817 01:41:04.279 --> 01:41:05.520 but they also come to the consoles. 1818 01:41:05.880 --> 01:41:09.039 So yeah, the guy was like, it's mostly console games. 1819 01:41:09.159 --> 01:41:11.039 It's like, hey, that's what I mostly play games on. 1820 01:41:11.239 --> 01:41:14.439 And then d like, yeah, what PC exclusive games are there? 1821 01:41:15.720 --> 01:41:18.520 Yeah, it's like, oh, you're gonna the second well, the 1822 01:41:18.560 --> 01:41:24.720 Warcraft Expansion, the whatever. Like it's like you said, it's 1823 01:41:24.800 --> 01:41:28.600 extremely rare that even the even the MMOs like look 1824 01:41:28.640 --> 01:41:32.039 at FOM Fantasy fourteen, like that also comes to PS five, 1825 01:41:32.279 --> 01:41:34.520 Like uh, look at a look at a lot of 1826 01:41:34.600 --> 01:41:37.479 the like gotcha stuff that usually starts out on mobile 1827 01:41:37.520 --> 01:41:39.600 and PC that also ends up coming to like PS five. 1828 01:41:39.800 --> 01:41:42.439 So it's like or even like you know, Hades two 1829 01:41:42.520 --> 01:41:44.760 is on Hades two is on PC technically right now 1830 01:41:44.800 --> 01:41:47.199 in the early access, but like exactly once it's done, 1831 01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:51.159 you know whatever, Yeah. 1832 01:41:51.319 --> 01:41:54.079 Especially because when it hits switch to that thing's gonna 1833 01:41:54.079 --> 01:41:59.159 sell like crazy. So you know, like, hey, that's where 1834 01:41:59.199 --> 01:42:02.479 the people. Look, I have a new story right here 1835 01:42:02.520 --> 01:42:05.760 that people are making. Developers are making more PC games. 1836 01:42:06.119 --> 01:42:10.079 It actually went out from sixty six percent to eighty percent, Like, yeah, 1837 01:42:10.359 --> 01:42:15.000 PC gaming is going up, Like it's especially with you know, 1838 01:42:15.199 --> 01:42:19.640 these forever games, the live service games. Like the the 1839 01:42:20.600 --> 01:42:25.159 kids my daughter's age, you know, thirteen, fourteen and younger, 1840 01:42:25.359 --> 01:42:28.760 they're either asking for the best tablet or the best 1841 01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:33.439 PC because they want to play Fortnite or whatever in 1842 01:42:33.520 --> 01:42:35.800 the best way possible. They're not asking for the console. 1843 01:42:36.520 --> 01:42:39.119 You know, it's very weird that people are asking for 1844 01:42:40.039 --> 01:42:41.880 Like I think there was a story of like nobody 1845 01:42:41.960 --> 01:42:46.039 cares about the kids don't care about the PSI pros, Like, well, no, dull, 1846 01:42:46.159 --> 01:42:47.960 they don't. They don't even have a PS five to 1847 01:42:48.039 --> 01:42:50.199 begin with, so why would they care about the PSI pro. 1848 01:42:50.479 --> 01:42:52.159 And it's like and for one, they can't buy the 1849 01:42:52.239 --> 01:42:53.720 PS five pro, so why the hell are they going 1850 01:42:53.800 --> 01:42:57.640 to care about it. It's like when somebody used to 1851 01:42:57.720 --> 01:43:01.680 tell us that when you were kids. Uh, I can't 1852 01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:04.119 think of the first time somebody did, like an the 1853 01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:07.039 PS two slim or something like I would hear a 1854 01:43:07.119 --> 01:43:08.439 PS two. What do I give a crap about the 1855 01:43:08.479 --> 01:43:09.159 PS two slim? 1856 01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:16.119 You know, it's like, well, or even versus the nets 1857 01:43:16.199 --> 01:43:17.520 it's like, yeah, like, who cares? 1858 01:43:18.079 --> 01:43:19.680 Does it play? Does it do anything different? 1859 01:43:19.800 --> 01:43:19.840 No? 1860 01:43:20.000 --> 01:43:22.880 Then what do I care about it? It's like, uh, 1861 01:43:22.960 --> 01:43:26.159 the PS five Pro does, but again it's negligible as 1862 01:43:26.239 --> 01:43:30.479 far as like, uh, like what it really does compared 1863 01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:32.479 to like the difference you would see like on a PC. 1864 01:43:32.720 --> 01:43:34.560 And then not only that, if you don't have the 1865 01:43:34.640 --> 01:43:40.720 TV to make it look nice, it doesn't matter, right exactly. 1866 01:43:41.079 --> 01:43:44.159 That's the point I'm guessing your roommate does, or he 1867 01:43:44.199 --> 01:43:47.720 wouldn't have bought. But it's like I do, but I 1868 01:43:47.880 --> 01:43:53.479 just I've seen the difference, and it's like cares right, Like, Uh, 1869 01:43:54.119 --> 01:43:57.760 I played Fantasy and Reworth fine enough. I don't need 1870 01:43:57.840 --> 01:44:01.159 to buy it just to hopefully see that game better, right, 1871 01:44:01.800 --> 01:44:06.880 But just really quick here, the best selling PS five 1872 01:44:07.000 --> 01:44:09.640 was the best selling hardware of the entire year. That's 1873 01:44:09.680 --> 01:44:13.359 on surprise. You know, Switch was down and Xbox's Xbox 1874 01:44:13.399 --> 01:44:15.960 at this point, but it is tracking ahead of the 1875 01:44:16.039 --> 01:44:22.600 PS four by seven percent, which is good for PlayStation. Uh, 1876 01:44:23.079 --> 01:44:26.880 Xbox Series is spelling Xbox one by eighteen percent. But 1877 01:44:27.000 --> 01:44:29.840 again they had different strategies at that point, So people 1878 01:44:29.880 --> 01:44:33.600 don't need to buy an Xbox Series to play the 1879 01:44:33.840 --> 01:44:37.479 Xbox games, right, so you know it is what it 1880 01:44:37.640 --> 01:44:40.439 is called duty. Blackop six was still the best selling 1881 01:44:40.479 --> 01:44:44.359 game of twenty twenty four despite being on Xbox Game Pass. Uh, 1882 01:44:44.640 --> 01:44:48.239 it did have a drop of like nine percent compared 1883 01:44:48.319 --> 01:44:51.439 to was it Modern War for three last year? 1884 01:44:53.279 --> 01:44:56.039 Lost track of franchise entirely, So. 1885 01:44:58.199 --> 01:45:00.239 There is a drop, But I think it it's not 1886 01:45:00.520 --> 01:45:03.960 just the game Pass part of it all. It's just probably, 1887 01:45:04.039 --> 01:45:06.039 like you know, there might be a little bit of 1888 01:45:06.119 --> 01:45:08.920 a fatigue with Call of Duty. Also the fact that 1889 01:45:09.079 --> 01:45:12.000 war Zone exists. You don't need to have the latest 1890 01:45:12.079 --> 01:45:14.720 Call of Duty to have the Call of Duty experience, right, 1891 01:45:14.960 --> 01:45:17.479 So if you only play multiplayer and you don't care 1892 01:45:17.520 --> 01:45:20.000 about having Black Ops six, you just play war Zone 1893 01:45:20.079 --> 01:45:23.600 or you play war Zone. I have friends co workers 1894 01:45:23.680 --> 01:45:28.560 that him and his wife only play war Zone Mobile. 1895 01:45:29.159 --> 01:45:32.960 So like I'm telling you, man, people just these these 1896 01:45:33.239 --> 01:45:37.119 forever games. Why why do I waste money on Black 1897 01:45:37.159 --> 01:45:38.119 Ops when I could just play this. 1898 01:45:38.760 --> 01:45:40.279 That was a funny thing last night with my roommate 1899 01:45:40.279 --> 01:45:42.079 when he had this psive and looking it up because 1900 01:45:42.079 --> 01:45:43.439 I was like, he didn't have a discribe, and I 1901 01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:45.000 was like, what you get when you can borrow some 1902 01:45:45.039 --> 01:45:48.239 of my games. If you want, I'll give Destiny to 1903 01:45:48.399 --> 01:45:50.159 a shot, just thinking like. 1904 01:45:53.520 --> 01:45:58.439 Console, Like, yeah, of all the games there, the other 1905 01:45:58.560 --> 01:46:03.439 games on this list here, EA Sports called Football twenty 1906 01:46:03.520 --> 01:46:05.239 five is the number two best selling game of the 1907 01:46:05.439 --> 01:46:08.319 entire year in the United States. People really missed that 1908 01:46:08.359 --> 01:46:14.079 college football helldivers to Dragon Ball sparking zero. Amazing for 1909 01:46:14.199 --> 01:46:17.399 that franchise to sell that much. NBA two K twenty five, 1910 01:46:17.880 --> 01:46:21.439 Man twenty five, Calle of Dunion, Modern War for three, God, 1911 01:46:22.399 --> 01:46:26.840 EA Sports FC twenty five, Elden Ring. You know that 1912 01:46:27.399 --> 01:46:30.960 expansion helped a lot there, and the EA Sports MVP 1913 01:46:31.279 --> 01:46:37.640 bundle with Madden and college Football altogether. I think Rebirth 1914 01:46:37.840 --> 01:46:42.640 was like eighteenth or something like that. Grand Theft Auto 1915 01:46:43.039 --> 01:46:47.439 five and Minecraft I think still sold better than but 1916 01:46:47.520 --> 01:46:49.680 at least Rebirth was on there because Astrobat was not 1917 01:46:49.800 --> 01:46:52.479 on there at all. It was on there for the 1918 01:46:52.520 --> 01:46:55.199 PlayStation one, the one that's only PlayStation, but not the 1919 01:46:55.279 --> 01:47:00.399 one that was for the entire year. So hey, uh, 1920 01:47:01.319 --> 01:47:04.840 no surprise, so seople black those games that you buy 1921 01:47:04.920 --> 01:47:07.279 once a year and play with your friends, right is 1922 01:47:07.319 --> 01:47:09.880 what it is. Uh. The only new game Hell Diverge 1923 01:47:09.880 --> 01:47:12.880 two B also falls into that category. Dragon Ball Sparking 1924 01:47:13.079 --> 01:47:16.359 zero is kind of like the only one, uh that 1925 01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:16.960 I got. 1926 01:47:16.920 --> 01:47:21.079 Like a surprising amount of buzz. Yeah, because it's. 1927 01:47:20.960 --> 01:47:25.239 A bad game or you know, but I mean bad 1928 01:47:25.439 --> 01:47:26.560 and people, I mean. 1929 01:47:28.039 --> 01:47:31.840 Dragon Balls is coming back into more popular fashion these days. 1930 01:47:31.680 --> 01:47:34.039 Oh for sure, with Diama out there and everything, and 1931 01:47:34.079 --> 01:47:38.840 then obviously the sad passing like yeah, you know, it's 1932 01:47:38.960 --> 01:47:41.960 uh they I think they just started restarted the super 1933 01:47:42.039 --> 01:47:45.600 manga not too long ago, so it's it's going. It's 1934 01:47:45.760 --> 01:47:49.479 definitely uh, getting back into that popularity, like you said, 1935 01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:56.199 so that helps as well. I think that's pretty much it. 1936 01:47:56.399 --> 01:47:59.399 Other than also earth Blade, it's supposed to be the 1937 01:47:59.439 --> 01:48:02.840 next game from the Celeste developer, has been canceled, aspecially 1938 01:48:02.840 --> 01:48:07.000 the Metro Ranea. There's a big story behind it. 1939 01:48:07.720 --> 01:48:11.119 Yeah, yeah, you go. 1940 01:48:11.880 --> 01:48:14.039 No Maddie Thorson just said that, you know, he was 1941 01:48:14.119 --> 01:48:17.600 the R and D director said that this was between 1942 01:48:18.760 --> 01:48:24.039 uh Noel and Maddie and then also Pedro fending member 1943 01:48:24.960 --> 01:48:29.279 a lot of time elaborate our director Worth Blade left 1944 01:48:29.359 --> 01:48:31.359 as well. They all kind of are They all kind 1945 01:48:31.399 --> 01:48:34.600 of decided. Apparently there was a disagreement between the IP 1946 01:48:34.800 --> 01:48:38.840 rights of Celeste between them and that they are all 1947 01:48:38.920 --> 01:48:40.239 going to go their separate ways. 1948 01:48:40.640 --> 01:48:44.680 So you know, reminded of like when they canceled, when 1949 01:48:44.720 --> 01:48:49.479 that that Phil Fish canceled, not braid, but uh, what's 1950 01:48:49.520 --> 01:48:50.520 what's when he canceled? 1951 01:48:52.039 --> 01:48:58.920 Oh okay, I think I think yeah, yeah yeah. Or 1952 01:48:59.039 --> 01:49:04.039 also the the Z A U M Studio, the Zone Yeah. 1953 01:49:04.199 --> 01:49:06.039 And talking about that a few days ago because he 1954 01:49:06.119 --> 01:49:07.199 still wants that to happen. 1955 01:49:07.359 --> 01:49:10.319 But it's like that's yeah, that that thing got so 1956 01:49:10.560 --> 01:49:13.479 bad they all started making their own game or whatever, 1957 01:49:13.600 --> 01:49:17.359 and like there's three games in development and it's like, okay, 1958 01:49:17.800 --> 01:49:18.560 this is crazy. 1959 01:49:19.119 --> 01:49:23.840 Yeah. One last thing I was gonna mention is I 1960 01:49:23.840 --> 01:49:27.920 don't it just kind of announced today but the software 1961 01:49:28.000 --> 01:49:32.479 president just passed away. Yes, so that's a bummer. I mean, 1962 01:49:33.760 --> 01:49:37.680 is like my favorite company or anything, but the games 1963 01:49:38.000 --> 01:49:40.159 and kind of a good sense of humor. 1964 01:49:40.960 --> 01:49:43.399 I mean, I think if you don't if the name 1965 01:49:43.439 --> 01:49:45.319 doesn't ring a bell, they're kind of the ones known 1966 01:49:45.359 --> 01:49:46.359 for Deskuya. 1967 01:49:46.640 --> 01:49:51.960 Yeah and more so. But they've been around to quite 1968 01:49:51.960 --> 01:49:55.000 a while. Like it's kind of surprising, so I don't know, 1969 01:49:55.079 --> 01:49:56.920 this guy's like running it all the way through or anything. 1970 01:49:57.319 --> 01:50:00.359 Right, Yeah, sixty four is still young. Ag it's to 1971 01:50:00.439 --> 01:50:07.039 be passing so right. Sucks. Sucks to see that. We 1972 01:50:07.319 --> 01:50:10.199 moved from that to games that are coming out this 1973 01:50:10.399 --> 01:50:14.399 week to end the show, as we always do. I 1974 01:50:14.560 --> 01:50:18.039 mentioned the Eternal Strands comes out tomorrow on game Pass. 1975 01:50:18.159 --> 01:50:22.520 You can go check that out.

The Carmen 1978 01:50:29.920 --> 01:50:34.359 San Diego game, the I guess like a reboot of. 1979 01:50:34.600 --> 01:50:36.359 I saw a trailer that and I was, what is 1980 01:50:36.439 --> 01:50:38.319 this San Diego. 1981 01:50:38.439 --> 01:50:42.239 It's on you can play it on Netflix, the Netflix app. 1982 01:50:43.720 --> 01:50:45.399 I might check it out just because I love that 1983 01:50:45.560 --> 01:50:49.319 game when I was a kid on PC. It's not 1984 01:50:49.439 --> 01:50:52.760 it's not. It has some of the same like vibes, 1985 01:50:52.920 --> 01:50:56.159 I guess, but they changed quite a bit of it. 1986 01:50:57.359 --> 01:51:02.119 Quiz Quiz an Ear or Moonlighter Junior as I've heard 1987 01:51:02.199 --> 01:51:05.279 some people call it, is coming out also on the 1988 01:51:05.359 --> 01:51:09.720 twenty eighth for Switch series and for the console.
