WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.160 Hey, everybody, welcome to Game Mess Mornings with Me Jeff Grub, 2 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.240 your host from giant bomb dot com. 3 00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:15.480 Thank you for tuning in. 4 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.800 In this episode, we're going to be talking about a 5 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.079 Jurassic Park game that looks better than Trespasser and our 6 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.800 developers moving away from Unreal Engine. It's gonna be a 7 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.039 good one because we have jan at Chowa on the show. 8 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:28.199 Jan how are you doing? 9 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.640 I forgot what dad was, Grub. It's one of those weeks. 10 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.719 Yeah, I'm really off kilter with that too. I don't 11 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.159 know what do you think it is? It's one of 12 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:37.880 those weeks. I agree, but I don't know what is 13 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:38.320 causing it. 14 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.280 I think it's because, uh it's August and we're already 15 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.880 halfway through August, and that's terri upsetting. 16 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:47.840 Yes, it is Mars in retrograde. 17 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.159 I think it's Mercury is in retro JS. So they 18 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.840 were able to go on one of those sneak getting websites, 19 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.960 oh oh or that? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's funny because 20 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.280 again this will enlighten a lot of folks into what 21 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.760 I engage with on on TikTok. But uh, you know, 22 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.799 right before the show, I was pouring another cup of coffee. 23 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.920 And then as I scroll on TikTok, this woman is 24 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.519 just yelling at me that everything is gonna be okay. 25 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.159 And like you know when someone yells at you in 26 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.400 such an authoritative voice that you just believe it. Yeah, 27 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.000 it's like, oh okay, I'll get my head out of 28 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.000 my butt. I'm sorry. 29 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.560 Yeah, it's it's good because you got to be like jolted. 30 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.079 It's like a human jumping kit. Yeah, you know, like 31 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.319 when you jump jump. 32 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.079 Start a car and it feels good. I like it. 33 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.239 I need that more frequently. 34 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.519 Also, I don't know why I was reminded of this. 35 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.200 Maybe this is because I I tuned in and watched 36 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.200 the next Lander Gang play through. Uh, I'm in Love 37 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.719 with your dead Grandmother. I watched quite a bit of 38 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.480 that as well. I can't believe I relived that. And uh, 39 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.760 I was suddenly reminded of the not obsession, but the 40 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:07.959 saga of nose torque in the GB offices. Right, nose 41 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.919 torque for folks don't know it's it's basically just smelling salts. 42 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.000 Smelling salts. 43 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.599 I think I have smelling salts in my Amazon cart 44 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.000 right now. So uh yeah, I never I don't have 45 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.039 ever tried it for real. 46 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.360 Maybe I have. I've played some sports in my life. 47 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.960 I'm sure someone had it and maybe I tried it. 48 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.960 Did you end up trying the nose torque? 49 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.319 No, I remember, Vinny. I don't know if any brought 50 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.520 it or he found it. It's more concerning if he 51 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:35.560 found it. 52 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:36.960 It's weird if he found it. 53 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.680 Yeah, but you know, in the in the old GB 54 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.479 offices at the CBSI building, there was a lot of 55 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.280 miscellaneous things. It could have been sent in in a 56 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.080 mail bag. But yeah, I had never tried smelling salts, 57 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.080 and I don't know if I want to because I 58 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.199 don't understand them. 59 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.960 Whatever happened to that bath salt thing? Remember in Florida, 60 00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:58.639 everyone doing the. 61 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.960 Bath salts and like, oh the zombie beeting faces. Yeah, 62 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:03.560 the zombie people, right. 63 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:03.879 Yeah. 64 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.039 I don't want to say that the government in Florida 65 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.400 was able to handle things, but maybe something some other 66 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.400 monstrosities had taken place and superseded the bath salts. 67 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.240 Yeah, that one seems the one that kind of like 68 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.639 sorted itself out. I think it was like the drug 69 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.599 people that you know, the ones that make and sell 70 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.599 drugs or like we actually can't have people knowing that 71 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.039 some drugs do this. So we're gonna like self police 72 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.400 and go in there and put an end to this 73 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.080 and take out some people. 74 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.319 We'll just put all the bad stuff in hand soap now, 75 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.120 so it's okay, yeah. 76 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.680 Oh yeah, and then we now we got fentanel. So 77 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.960 that's that's just what took over all. Right, let's explain ourselves. 78 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.080 We're Giant Bomb.

Yes with Battlefield six Open Beta 108 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.560 week and two goes alive with some issues, but still 109 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.079 eclipses three hundred thousand users on Steam. This is from 110 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.959 Eddie McCoo at game Spot. Battlefield six six is open 111 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.319 Beta just kicked off its second weekend, but there were 112 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.800 some issues out of the gate that Battlefield Studios is 113 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.720 working to address. To begin with, the developer acknowledged ongoing 114 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:27.160 matchmaking issues for some players on certain playlists were actively 115 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.519 investigating this and working towards a solve as soon as possible. 116 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.399 Hang tight while we dig into this, the studio said. 117 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.920 For this issue, Battlefield Studios said it recommends people first 118 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.680 ensure that they are running the most recent client update. 119 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.120 People using the EA app can try to fix the 120 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.079 issue by pressing the repair button. The team continues to 121 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.680 assess this. The developer said, So a little bit of 122 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.959 a PSA. I know this top story because big Game, 123 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:53.759 a lot of people are going to be playing it 124 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.480 this weekend. If you are having headaches with it, that's 125 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.480 a little bit of a PSA. Try these things. They're 126 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.680 also trying to find some solves, but it's a beta, 127 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.040 these kinds of things are definitely going to happen. Additionally, 128 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.240 DLSS and d l a A on PC is unavailable 129 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.839 right now. In Battlefield Studios has identified the issue and 130 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:11.959 it's working on a fix. 131 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.920 So if you notice that as well, they have yes, 132 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:16.920 a fix in the works. 133 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.879 And then yeah, once again, three hundred thousand users immediately 134 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.240 before the weekend. It doesn't sound like the interest is 135 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.040 dying down. It just sounds like it's got that momentum 136 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.519 right now and it's carrying it probably through toward launch. 137 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.560 Right, Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for, just for the 138 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.439 die hard battle Field fans out there, just because it's 139 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.040 been a hot minute GREB since they've had something to 140 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.240 latch onto, and I have to imagine that there has 141 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.199 to be as popular as Called Duty still is, there 142 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.759 has to be some amount of fatigue with that audience 143 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.079 that they're looking to latch onto something else because I 144 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.959 don't know, maybe Fortnite doesn't exactly appeal to them, and 145 00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:00.279 these other shooters aren't aren't necessarily grabbing them either. I 146 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.759 do think it is loser behavior though, to cheat in. 147 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:09.319 A beta Yeah. Weird, Yeah, very strange thing. 148 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.839 You get nothing out of this? What are you a dweb? 149 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:14.399 Yes you are? 150 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:16.959 Yes, you are. It's it one. 151 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.680 It's just never even occurred to me, like jan to 152 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.800 like go find one of these cheater apps. 153 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.680 It's more fun to get at least a little bit 154 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:25.959 good at the game. Yeah. 155 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.600 My KDR my K death ratio and Call of Duty 156 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.639 hovers around one to one point twenty five. Would it 157 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.680 be fun to see that number go up? Yeah, but 158 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.959 it's more fun to actually do it myself. I want 159 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.959 to play the video game. What do you it's so 160 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.560 strange weeb loser behavior. You know, they are trying to 161 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.120 address that stuff with the cheating with a bunch of 162 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:47.759 extra things. 163 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:48.920 It's just not going to work. 164 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.759 So it's like, oh, it's like the age verification thing 165 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.680 that's happening around the world right now, where uh, this 166 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.639 is only going to inconvence inconvenience people who are following 167 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.720 the rule and then anyone who wants to get around 168 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.240 it will have a million ways to bypass that stuff 169 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.680 and they won't have to deal with it. You mentioned 170 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.199 call of Duty, Uh and the maybe maybe being in 171 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:15.120 a lull. Have you heard anyone in any sort of 172 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.399 circle that you're in or online talking about Black Ops 173 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.600 seven in any way? It is just I mean now 174 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.839 that they did just start the marketing campaign, so if 175 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.560 they people were going to talk about it probably would 176 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.879 be right about now. But even then, I'm just it 177 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.519 just doesn't seem to be have. It doesn't have any. 178 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:32.320 Pop to it at all. 179 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.480 Yeah, it's it's fairly radio silent grub from from any 180 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.919 initial hype with Call of Duty. Right now, I think 181 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:44.919 Battlefield six has has earned its spot in in uh, 182 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.840 the the cultural zeitgeist as of right now. Yeah, I 183 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:54.000 think in terms of folks that only play military style, 184 00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:00.120 fps's Battlefield is definitely occupying that that brain space. Like 185 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.559 normy friends aren't talking about Call of Duty at all. 186 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.480 It's like just trying to figure out how to get 187 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.600 into this beta and like what the weekends look like 188 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.440 and what the maps are going to be. No hype 189 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:19.240 for a Call of Duty. If anything, I'm hearing more 190 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.759 rumblings from friends of like thinking about getting back into 191 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.759 hell Divers because of this rumored Halo stuff. 192 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:29.919 Yeah, you know what, we should use that as an 193 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.759 excuse as well. My one of my algorithms jan other 194 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.480 than ladies yelling at me to feel better about myself, 195 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.480 is a lot of Hell Divers to stuff. And I've 196 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.360 not really played much since since around the time of launch. 197 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.720 We maybe checked on it, checked in on it one 198 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.519 more time after that. I did not play much of 199 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.720 it on my own. And it's definitely one of those 200 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.320 games where it's like I'm glad to have this job 201 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.679 to have an excuse to play it. It's like, well, 202 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.600 I might let's do that again because I do want 203 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.639 to play this game again. It just it's so cinematic, 204 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.120 looking so cool, and all of our moments like we 205 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.200 weren't great at it, but they still felt that way, 206 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.639 Like it's still felt very cool and cinematic. So yeah, 207 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.639 that's where I'm definitely with you on Hell Divers too, 208 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:09.919 right now. 209 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.159 Yeah, it like Hell Divers two always had like that 210 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.440 immersive sim like feel of like anything can happen, because 211 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.639 anything could happen, and each run is pretty different, especially 212 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.840 depending on the team comp that you have rolling into 213 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.679 each encounter, because like Mike could handle something differently than 214 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.720 Dan would handle something, or like you know, Sean would 215 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.759 actually be efficient and help take care of things. And 216 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:41.279 then you know, there's Christian and there's Christian exactly parentheses positive. 217 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.919 Of course we all know, we get it, uh. 218 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.960 Next story, Van dy Namco's new game engine is full 219 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.679 steam ahead. 220 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.960 This is from my Nintendo News. Not a ton of 221 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.080 info here, but a little bit. 222 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.679 Van dy Namco has provided an update to fans on 223 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:59.039 its Twitter account about its new proprietary game engine and outs. 224 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.120 And seems to development is in Yes, it. 225 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.960 Seems development is in a full steam ahead mode. The 226 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.759 company revealed that its developers are currently being trained on 227 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.360 the new game engine, which was first announced in twenty nineteen. 228 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.840 The company wanted to make its own video game engine 229 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:17.480 rather than rely on third party game development software like Unreal. 230 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:23.200 The new title game engine will allow a large scale development, including. 231 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.480 Massive open world games. Sorry there's some typos in there. 232 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:31.120 Yeah, okay, so I mostly this is very inside baseball, 233 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.240 but I do like wonder like where we are at, 234 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.320 like in terms of how developers are feeling about this, 235 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.200 because there's a lot of multi a lot of factors. 236 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.960 In like how people probably feel about. 237 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.960 These various engines if they are easy to use and 238 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.720 they enable a bunch of stuff and they do become 239 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.039 like the standard at a publisher and you can kind 240 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:51.159 of rely on. 241 00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:52.320 That job being there. 242 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.519 And I'm like kind of thinking of a Capcom in 243 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.519 this instance, or maybe like a Nintendo right if you 244 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.000 are and Nintendo uses Unreal Engine sometimes. But if you 245 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.279 are at Nintendo and you're learning the Breath of the 246 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.120 Wild engine, the engine that was you know, partially powered 247 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.639 by what was happening over at Monolith, and like you're like, Okay, 248 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.879 learning this is going to pay off because I'm going 249 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:15.159 to work here for the rest of my life. 250 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.120 Maybe same with Capcom. 251 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.720 But if you're not in one of those positions, you 252 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.600 probably want to learn Unreal because that's the most transfer 253 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.440 transferable skill that's from the developer side. From the publisher side, 254 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.720 we still know the like, maybe the biggest motivating factor 255 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:33.240 here is like if you work with your own engine, 256 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.919 it's you probably don't have to give five percent of 257 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.320 your revenue to Epic or something like that. Again, the 258 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.200 numbers are all over the place. I don't fully understand 259 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.399 the business model, but you know I remember them then, like, hey, 260 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:44.879 we're going to give like give you back that five 261 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.720 percent if you release your game on Epic Game Store exclusively. 262 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.440 So it was probably around that number, and they don't 263 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:52.840 want to pay that money, so they want to have 264 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.480 their own engine. And yet it also feels like maybe 265 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.879 it is time to like have control of your own 266 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.200 destiny on this site a little bit, because if everyone 267 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.039 moves on Unreal, everyone is sort of hamstrung by the 268 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.639 exact same failings of that engine. And right now we're 269 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.519 seeing that's like, yeah, Unreal is supposed to be pretty 270 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.519 good open worlds, not as good at open world games 271 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.440 as maybe we thought it was going to be. A 272 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.720 lot of Unreal games struggle with that. Now, a lot 273 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.639 of engines struggle with that, but you know, unreal games 274 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.519 specifically do seem to struggle with trying to get open 275 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.120 world games to run properly. So maybe you can get 276 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.480 a better advantage in the marketplace if your engine can 277 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.720 handle some stuff more, you know, better than what the 278 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.360 unreal engine can do. So it's like I could see, 279 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.639 like all of these things, the push and pull of 280 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:41.799 all the reasons to go one way or the other. 281 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.080 But does it feel like maybe we're in a moment 282 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:45.519 where people are like looking around being like, you know, 283 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.000 we don't all have to be on unreal or is 284 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:49.879 this just like an anomaly. 285 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.519 It feels like a little bit of both. Rub My 286 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.080 worry with Bandai Namco is that, you know, building your 287 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:03.080 own engine from the ground up means that only people 288 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.440 internally are going to be familiar with the engine, so 289 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.679 skills aren't as transferable in terms of getting external help, 290 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.519 like bandy Namco may not be able to reach out 291 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.440 to like a third party an external studio to assist 292 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.440 with development stuff or like port stuff under like the 293 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:24.080 Bandy Namco name. So that's a little bit worrying that 294 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.159 development time could ramp up. And again you look at 295 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:30.799 the types of games that Bandy Namco puts out and 296 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:34.679 then maybe Unreal just wasn't serving them that well for 297 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:36.080 the types that maybe they wanted to do. 298 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.679 Yeah, I mean, maybe maybe it's overkill. Maybe they like 299 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.080 know exactly what they need and they can produce that. 300 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.000 Bandy Namco a pretty big publisher. People in chad to 301 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.240 rightfully pointing out, you've got to have a lot of 302 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:51.200 games to sort of justify the investment into making an 303 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.360 engine like this, and I think Bandy Namco can probably 304 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.080 justify it. 305 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:57.559 I think they. 306 00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.320 Probably still sprinkle in Unreal and maybe some other engines 307 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.559 where it makes sense. Sure, Unity is one that some 308 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.600 of these big companies still occasionally use. 309 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:05.919 It does serve its purpose. 310 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.480 Although you know, Unity had a lot of problems in 311 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.120 the last several years, so I wonder if that's going. 312 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.519 To continue to diminish. 313 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.679 But yeah, I'm always curious about this side of things. 314 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:17.840 I'm not a game developer. 315 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.879 I don't know how game developers necessarily feel about this, 316 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.240 but I can put myself in their shoes and be like, 317 00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:26.879 what would I want to do with my career if 318 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.720 I was working on this stuff? And it's probably if 319 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.440 I'm not someone who's like a sicko who likes. 320 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.279 To make my own engines. 321 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.279 I know those people are out there and I think 322 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.440 that's that's cool, and they you know, if you're that's 323 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.000 every game you're going to make your own engine. Neat, 324 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.440 that's awesome, you should do that. But that's one thing 325 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.240 I think for the most part, people who are like 326 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.799 designing games want to have their skills be transferable. Yeah, 327 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.320 and so they don't mind the fact that there was 328 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.919 some standardization in this industry that just really has a 329 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.720 skewed standardization for a long time, at least on the 330 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.080 front of the tools that you're going to be using. 331 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.360 It might not be the same from one company or the other. 332 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.200 That is less true than it's ever been. 333 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.639 This may sound like a slight grub, but a lot 334 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.039 of vandy Namco's a certain portion of their games are 335 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:14.440 anime arena fighters that all feel the same, yes, behind 336 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:20.360 the back style fighting games, and perhaps maybe that engine 337 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:22.720 if they were using Unreal for those games, it could 338 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.879 be streamlined in such a way that works better for 339 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.480 them to I don't want to say, churn out more 340 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:32.120 of them, but perhaps be able to improve upon them 341 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:37.960 or maybe just use or yeah, exploit the system in 342 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.639 their own engine in a way that better serves those 343 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.480 style of games than Unreal could or would. 344 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.000 Yep, yeah, I mean I think that's probably some of 345 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.840 the thinking here is that they know a lot of 346 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.480 the cons of games that they have made that they 347 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.120 will continue to make, and they're probably like looking at 348 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.320 the numbers even be like, if we can get the 349 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.080 costs down here, because we're using our own engine. All 350 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.000 these games that we know are kind of cell around 351 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.279 this number because they just have this built in audience 352 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.079 and songs that are like somewhat decent in quality or 353 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.720 just kind of what people expect. We can make x 354 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.640 x more dollars and it's probably that simple. 355 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.960 Bandy Namco make an anime arena Fighter of ham Taro 356 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.160 please uh. 357 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.839 And then also Power Rangers Jam. 358 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.880 People are are asking for you to do a Blake 359 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.079 Club and I did find a Power Rangers game for 360 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.680 the three DS that's really bad. 361 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.680 But well, you know the thing is, I just produced 362 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.440 the shows. I can't on it. 363 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.680 And now it's I'm like, I'm maybe if we ever 364 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:35.920 do one of those packs things again, maybe you get 365 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:36.680 in there, you lose. 366 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.240 I got your game ready in case that ever happens. 367 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.319 Which can you tell me? I won't look up the game, 368 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.240 but can you tell me which season of Power Rangers 369 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:44.640 it is? 370 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:46.599 Is Mega Forced a name of a season? 371 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:55.920 Yes?
