1
00:00:01,919 --> 00:00:06,719
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our video

2
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:09,039
game show here at geek Verse. I am your host,

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,279
Al must snide with me the non happy ending. Travis Snow,

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,320
how are you doing? My friend?

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 2: Doing good? Other than as I complain to you guys,

6
00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:20,839
just tech issues galore, technic everything I own right now.

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,199
But uh, you know, Core down, camera down, PlayStation down,

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,120
but you know, hopefully it's looking up.

9
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:30,079
Speaker 1: Just sorry. Did you get the PlayStation figured out? Or

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:30,719
is that still in.

11
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: PlayStations figured out? My worry is so I ordered a

12
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:36,200
new For people that don't know, I played my PlayStation

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,799
completely fine, moved into the bedroom because today is I'm

14
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:40,560
going to play some hit Man. That's what it's gonna do.

15
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:42,159
They play some hit Man and booted up and they

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,640
was just saying, oh, the game's not working. I'm like,

17
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,920
well that's odd. And then I'm going through all this

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,399
having to repair the external over and over. I did

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,880
clear my cache everything, So I ordered a new The

20
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:54,719
only option of all the ones I went down is

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,079
try a new Core because I don't have another additional

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,679
you know whatever external because it has a weird what

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,200
is that ending? It's a USB to whatever that is external?

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,560
It has like the weird you know what I'm saying.

25
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,519
No one else, Yeah, no one knows what it is,

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,840
but uh so we'll find out to more. But I

27
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,079
ordered that the PlayStation's fine, but I got a lot

28
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,560
of games on there, so I and just like today,

29
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:17,079
I bought Hitman on PS four went over because it

30
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,400
was on the external drive I didn't have, and plus

31
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,640
I didn't want to. Uh, I don't actually know where

32
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,120
my PS four right now is and I had a

33
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:25,640
succinct window to play hit Man. So yeah, I was excited.

34
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,680
I'm hoping to next week we tell about Mario Kart

35
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,799
or for mini review, talk about that. Just my quick thoughts.

36
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:34,480
So I'm hoping this chord is the fix. If not,

37
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,719
then I get but it's weird. The external says it's there.

38
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,439
Just I don't know.

39
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: And hopefully you have a good update for us next

40
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,239
week and you can talk about hit Man. And we

41
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,760
also have the Call of Wake, Silent Hill Ops seven

42
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,920
Taylor Field. What's up? Man?

43
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:48,799
Speaker 3: Oh?

44
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,359
Speaker 2: Not much?

45
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:52,959
Speaker 3: Happy to be here. Happy to talk Xbox today.

46
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we you and I just talked Nintendo for a bit.

47
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,359
We shared our first impressions on the switch to as

48
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:02,640
you go check that out on the feeds right about now.

49
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,200
But today we are closing off the kind of quote

50
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:08,639
unquote faky three season by talking about the Xbox Showcase

51
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,800
that happened on June eighth of twenty twenty five. We're

52
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,439
gonna break down all these announcements, or at least the

53
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:17,080
ones that are most exciting to the panel here at large.

54
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,319
So let's get into it right away with some just

55
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,960
top level thoughts. I see Travis cringing over there. I'm

56
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,039
hoping all is well.

57
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: I be cause I was pulling up the conference and

58
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,520
the audio was in full blast. So the first first

59
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,080
whatever thirty seconds were.

60
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,879
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's not good if you have

61
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,080
a cringing reaction, I mean mentioning the showcase. That's you know,

62
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,919
if you have a visceral like icky feeling and you're

63
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,400
you're telling me that's no good.

64
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: But maybe in the old days.

65
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna start with mister Xbox here, Taylor,

66
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,520
I don't know what was your top level thoughts overall

67
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,240
thoughts on this here Xbox showcase.

68
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: Ah It, it felt like it was kind of in

69
00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:02,199
line with previous Xbox showcase. Is it wasn't anything that

70
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,919
kind of blew me out of the water and got

71
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,039
me super jazzed and excited. I thought some of my expectations.

72
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,960
There were things that made sense and things okay, like

73
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,240
oh yeah right, that's that's being showcase. Yeah, I got it, okay,

74
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:17,120
But then there's other things that I would have liked

75
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:21,000
to have seen that didn't get any kind of any

76
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:25,240
attention towards. It just felt like it's just you're six.

77
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,159
It just felt like it was the I don't know,

78
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,319
just as it was you're always getting see a thieves

79
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:34,080
and that went over my head. So when it popped up,

80
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,000
I was like, oh, of course season ten thousand, so

81
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,000
I smuggling.

82
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:41,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's smuggling, not in the game. That's insane.

83
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,439
That were deep in the game and you can smuggle

84
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,159
prayer it was, but it must be an overhaul. Yeah,

85
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:49,199
how about you, Travis.

86
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of like a whirlwind where I

87
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,479
thought they were siring off hot again because I you

88
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,560
can go back in the annals of history for the

89
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:58,680
Mini Summer Games Fest and then most of the three

90
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,960
Xbox I thought, almost every year we've been covering them

91
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,919
has disappointed because it's just either they don't have the

92
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,319
good like the right amount of games to show interesting games,

93
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:10,759
or when they show them, it's always like, oh, something

94
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,599
about this doesn't look good, or it's just the bad

95
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:15,599
showings of oh they got a car on stage and

96
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:17,839
they got this guy like they to me, were responsible

97
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:20,720
for many lackluster one and then lone the old last

98
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,199
year I remember I didn't listen back, but I'm pretty comfent.

99
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,639
Last year. I gave that one a five. I think

100
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,879
I've only ever given five last year. Yeah, I think

101
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,720
in the time we've been doing this, there's only been

102
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,079
three fives. And was that one it was? I think

103
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:37,040
the first Nintendo E three was Smash I think because

104
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,959
that has like I thought the Smash Field, but I

105
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:40,639
thought they had a bunch of other games as well,

106
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,839
Like I thought it was another like Big. I think

107
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,639
even Metro was in there, whichever one they had one

108
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:47,399
where it was like forty five minute NonStop of tons

109
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:49,480
of stuff. And then obviously the first year we did

110
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,959
E three when they were veiled for Sony like Got

111
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,519
a War and des Stranding and Days Gone. So I

112
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,439
feel like, you know, obviously it's not as much as movies,

113
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:59,199
but I feel like with the E threes and the

114
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,839
Summer Games f and whatnot. I gotta be it also

115
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:04,680
be on finding all Cylinders be a five. When we started,

116
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,759
I thought we might have a chance to get there

117
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,480
because I knew they had a good lineup and stuff,

118
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,519
and I was liking the pacing of the show. And

119
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:14,319
that's all say that. I think it's technically gonna be

120
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:17,079
my highest rated conference of the whole thing we've done,

121
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,120
just because the pacing. They were out of there at

122
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,800
like hour five, hour fifteen for the actual showcase. I

123
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,399
know they did suffer grounded and out of worlds after,

124
00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:27,959
but I'm talking just the actual Hey, here's the start

125
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
to finish what we're doing. I think there's a little

126
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:36,480
hiccups and then they obviously the ending was I don't care, atrocious,

127
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,800
just awful. And I'm somebody that has now you know,

128
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,360
plays Call Duty more than ever. I maybe not the

129
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:44,439
past recent weeks, but at least since we've been doing

130
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,920
E three. The way they set that out was like negligent,

131
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,600
the way they did that, And they also just didn't

132
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:52,600
have any I thought they'd have a couple more big

133
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:54,920
surprises up their sleeves and other than I'd say the

134
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,800
ally which is rumored. I just thought, like even games

135
00:05:57,879 --> 00:05:59,600
or even just layups like I remember me and micro

136
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:02,800
tumbl discord, I think everyone kind of thought Fable was like, oh,

137
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,519
that's a layup, that's for sure gonna be hearing like

138
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,319
some bigger capacity or somewhere, and not even here at all.

139
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:09,879
So there's just certain stuff. So I think that's the

140
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,480
thing where uh pacing was really good. I loved the

141
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,720
show time as far as I said one ten, one fifteen,

142
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,439
thought that was a right amount they had. You know,

143
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,000
they only had three people come on and talking. I

144
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,519
thought that was all right, but I didn't kill the

145
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,000
pace in the show. But yeah, I think there was

146
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,120
lack of surprises and a very poorly paced kind of

147
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:28,680
last fifty minutes, especially with that last announcement. I thought

148
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,399
that was a big not even a nose dive, like

149
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,120
the fucking plane just blew up in mid air. You know,

150
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:38,600
Nathan Fielder was not flying this plane. It was somebody else,

151
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:41,279
so no Evan Fin's sound sight. So yeah, I think

152
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,839
it was a really good one, but not a great one.

153
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:48,480
But I know why there's lots of people really disappointed

154
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:52,000
by it. But I do think with everything they own

155
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:54,959
now they probably could have a better outer, So.

156
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:57,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that was gonna be. My point

157
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,959
is like just with how many studios they've gobbled up,

158
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,079
and publishers even they've gobbled up, and then all the

159
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:06,199
third party deals that they are always swinging to make

160
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,680
a game pass bigger and better than ever, Like, there's

161
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,160
no excuse for them to not have a banger showcase

162
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,319
every year. And I think especially because they only do

163
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:16,040
one showcase a year and then you know, they'll do

164
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:18,199
an announcement at Games Calm, and they'll do something at

165
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:20,639
the Game Awards, and then they have their developer direct

166
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,319
but that's always shorter. That's like you know, four games,

167
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,000
five games at most really like focused usually just follow

168
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,319
ups from one of these showcase things. So it's like

169
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:31,240
there's no reason that once a year they can't just

170
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:33,360
do a huge blowut and get a ton of information

171
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,600
out there. Especially yeah, now they're always going to have

172
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,720
like you know, a call of duty in there, you know,

173
00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:40,399
as Taylor mentioned, like see if things. Maybe that's not

174
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:42,519
talking to us, but like there is you know, there's

175
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:44,560
obviously these games that they have that people care about.

176
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,839
So I feel like they're always like there's if they

177
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:50,199
miss that's like a huge no no on them, like

178
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,920
there's no excuse to I think this was a good showcase.

179
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,000
I think for me personally, there was like two or

180
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,920
three really big, huge, exciting things and then just like oh,

181
00:07:57,959 --> 00:07:59,759
a bunch of updates on things I kind of knew

182
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,560
about and it was cool to see about. I think

183
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,560
it was missing like maybe that one big, juicy just

184
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,000
thing that spoke to me specifically. You know, obviously I'll

185
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,079
just troll six. I wasn't expecting that, but if they

186
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,560
did surprise me, it would have been crazy blade on

187
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,279
the edge of my seat waiting for more blades, So

188
00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:15,639
that would have been cool, you know, even fable because

189
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:17,639
I'm a big fable head. Perfect dark I think as well,

190
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:19,000
Like if they had maybe one of those in there

191
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,240
as well with a nice showing, I think this would

192
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,639
have skyrocketed up for me on the personal level. But

193
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,279
there is still a bunch of things I'm excited for here.

194
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:28,000
It's always like for me, you know, how many things

195
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,800
am I putting on my list to keep trackable? This

196
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:31,439
theme is coming out and I gotta put this on

197
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,240
my calendar because I got to keep track know when

198
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,279
this comes out, and there were quite a few of those,

199
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,879
a few surprises, and I think as far as what

200
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,000
I saw, not a lot of leaks. One game I

201
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:42,360
saw leaked, and obviously the Xbox ally has been talked

202
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,799
about for a long time but not officially shown. So

203
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,240
there was a few things that we kind of had

204
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:48,720
an idea about. But overall, I think this was a

205
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,000
very good showing. And then yeah, like just the last

206
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:54,759
part the Outer World's thing, I thought was like, really

207
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:56,720
really well done. I don't know if you guys watched

208
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,559
through all that, we can talk through it, but it was.

209
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,039
It was really good. So yeah, let's let's kind of

210
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:04,639
get into it here. So the first thing that they did,

211
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,480
they you know, start an end closed ish with Outer Worlds.

212
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,000
They showed up with Outer Worlds a quick trailer, which

213
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:12,039
is kind of a weird idea knowing, you know, considering

214
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,080
that we had at the end, But I think they

215
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,600
probably know that a lot of people don't want to,

216
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,120
you know, watch like a thirty to forty minute long

217
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,360
thing on one game to see a release date at

218
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,559
the end, so maybe they're like, hey, let's get a

219
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,480
trailer out there. It's a minute and a half, two minutes whatever.

220
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,480
It shows either release date which was not announced, so

221
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,720
those people can get that information, and then like for

222
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,080
the people who want to stick around, you can come

223
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,159
back for the direct at the end. But yeah, what

224
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,879
do you guys think? Yeah, Travis, you kind of shook

225
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:36,559
your head that you didn't watch the rest of the direct.

226
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,519
Did you watch the rest of that stuff? Taylor? Did

227
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:40,639
you see the Outer World's like full breakdown or just

228
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:41,679
that one trailer at the beginning?

229
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,879
Speaker 3: I didn't see the full breakdown?

230
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,159
Speaker 1: No, okay, I don't know. Did you guys? Did the

231
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,000
first trailer speak to you? Because I feel like most

232
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,679
of the big juice was in that direct? But what

233
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,879
are you guys thinking about that game? Interested at all? Taylor?

234
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:53,759
I know you did play the first one for a

235
00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:54,399
few hours at.

236
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: Least I did play the first one for a few hours.

237
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,039
This one it looks you know, it's it's building off

238
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,320
of the world that they've created and it looks interesting.

239
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:08,639
I just, oh, my hang up. Is just trying to

240
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:12,200
find the time to commit to these these open world

241
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,960
exploration kind of games, and I am curious to see

242
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,279
what they've built off of from the first one because

243
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,279
I'm trying to remember that first one. You didn't pilot

244
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:22,240
ships like Starfield, but you could customize your ships, could

245
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,480
you not.

246
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: You couldn't really customize it so much, but like as

247
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,960
you got companions, they would move in and like decorate

248
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,000
their rooms with their like paraphernalia and stuff like that.

249
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I just make more

250
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,360
locations to go to and all that. Like it looks

251
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,440
it looks pretty exciting, but I don't know if I'm

252
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,200
gonna be getting right into it right away.

253
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,639
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I'll you, Travis.

254
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I what I need to do is I

255
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,799
need to give the first one another shot because I

256
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,960
remember being excited and all the touchstones sound like, Okay,

257
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,000
this is like a Travs game because I love game

258
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,799
with choice. I love that they didn't I'm pretty sure

259
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:56,639
they didn't have the actual speech options, right, it was

260
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,120
just tax options for your character.

261
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no always dialogue for difference.

262
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: Which I think is always a bit better because you

263
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,559
get a bit more options and there's less time. I

264
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,240
just remember, because that's before games passed that I bought

265
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:09,080
up from Dylan, and I think I played about like

266
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:12,000
three or four hours. It's just I just never got

267
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:13,440
the hook into it. I don't know if it was

268
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:14,919
just the timing of it, don't know if it was

269
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,039
the actual game. So this one, the Other World, is

270
00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:21,559
actually still on my It's lower down my catalog playlist now,

271
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,000
but it is on there because I want to give

272
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,039
it a real shot and like put some hours because

273
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:27,000
it's just like I think, maybe it's bad timing. But

274
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:28,919
at the same point, I will say, for this, it's

275
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,639
very it's very interesting. Yeah, obviously they're so far apart,

276
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,200
but that for me, other than a few mechanic things, Man,

277
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,039
if you just like changed a few colors, a few

278
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,639
like looks of things and just threw fall It on there,

279
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,679
it just feels so much like Fallout. I know obviously

280
00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:47,360
why it does, but to the point it feels weird

281
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:50,399
of because they own Fallout now too, it would feel different.

282
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:52,919
I like, oh, Fallout that PlayStation and then you know

283
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,879
Out of Worlds is here, so it's kind of competit.

284
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:57,360
But it's it's just kind of not to sell me,

285
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,279
but it's funny. Again. In the discord, we tell this

286
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:01,240
a couple weeks ago if the death of Star Trek,

287
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,279
and I always said, like, well, that kind of happened

288
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,879
as Star Wars came back, and that's almost how I

289
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:06,799
feel the Outer Worlds. It's like, now do I want

290
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,080
to get in that or do I want to get

291
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,000
into like New Vegas that I've never played, you know,

292
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,559
like what? And that's the tough thing where it just

293
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:16,279
I think they haven't made themselves. Look. If anything, I

294
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,480
think the first out of World's felt more different than

295
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:21,759
Fault with this is looking way more similar to Fallout

296
00:12:21,799 --> 00:12:25,559
to me. So yeah, it didn't. It didn't sell me

297
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,200
where if like, oh I was missing out, just like

298
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,240
oh yeah, that's on the list. So I think it

299
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:30,720
was a great showing, but I think it has it's

300
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:32,840
obviously fans, and we'll see how second one does.

301
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,919
Speaker 1: So mm hmm. Yeah, it's interesting that you mentioned that.

302
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,080
Like the one of the things they talked about in

303
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,960
the direct is that they were the first Outer Worlds

304
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:42,799
was kind of like space, like yes, I don't know

305
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,799
Western Frontier, it was like the hybrid, but this one

306
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:48,559
is like space mixed with like World War One was

307
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,440
the vibe they were going for, and there's you don't

308
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,200
really see a ton oft from the first trailer, I thought,

309
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,399
but in the extended sequence they had a part that

310
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,039
looked like a World War One battlefield and everything, So

311
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,399
I feel like, yeah, I don't like obviously All Out

312
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:04,000
sort of has vibes of like Western stuff, but especially

313
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,279
New Vegas and certain points, but it also has that

314
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,679
more wartime setting, and so I feel like, obviously they've

315
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,080
made Float in Vegas. They made that game, so obviously

316
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,600
it's in their back backyard this kind of thing. But yeah,

317
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,399
and obviously they don't need to worry about like copyright

318
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,720
infringement because it's all under the Xbox umbrella. But yeah,

319
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,759
I think that was an interesting little shift and not

320
00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:23,519
some time I've really seen before, Like World War One

321
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:26,600
mix with space is an interesting idea that I cans

322
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,120
I've ever particularly thought about. So this is coming out

323
00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:34,279
October twenty ninth. Now, I did watch the extended Deep Dive,

324
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,600
and that really sold me on it, because I think

325
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:39,360
I had my expectations tempered on this one, just because

326
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,399
I did enjoy Outer Worlds. But then when I went

327
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:42,960
back and played the game a second time when all

328
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,519
the DLC was out, Not that I sowur on the game,

329
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,159
but it just didn't blow me away. And you know,

330
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,879
when you're playing an RPG that's like, ooh, your choices matter.

331
00:13:49,919 --> 00:13:51,120
And I played it through a second time and I

332
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,679
was like, yeah, like it changed a couple things, but

333
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:55,559
like it didn't like I think it would have been

334
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,080
better if I just left it at one play through

335
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,200
and that experience. But this one, it seems like they've

336
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,159
just made a lot of little bells and with like

337
00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:03,840
the combat looks a whole lot better. There's a lot

338
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:06,559
of crazy, weird stuff in there. They've increased the RPG system.

339
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,600
They talked about how they borrowed a lot more from

340
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,679
the fallow up New Vegas like RPG system, which is

341
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,639
obviously great, And the whole sequence was just hilarious. Like

342
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,000
I think some of the vibe that they've been going

343
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,080
for in the marketing of this of like making fun

344
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,440
of sequels and like corporations, you know, just you know,

345
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:23,759
squeezing every last dime out of a franchise and stuff

346
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,840
just hasn't been working for me. But for this sequence,

347
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,120
they had Ben Schwartz in there and they and he

348
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:30,679
was like he was this guy named Mark who was

349
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,360
like that he's like the head of sequels to obsidy

350
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,639
in And it was really fucking great. Whoever was doing

351
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,240
the writing for that and mixed with his delivery that

352
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:42,200
he has, like it was so funny. It really really

353
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,080
worked for me and helped like sell me on the

354
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,159
game a little bit more so, I guess just a

355
00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:50,080
few highlights. One, there's a lot of like slowing down time,

356
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:52,240
like throwing a grenade, slowing down time. Shooting at mid

357
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,000
air looks cool, like super cinematic. There's a shrink ray

358
00:14:55,039 --> 00:14:56,559
you can use the like shrink enemies and then just

359
00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:58,519
literally jump on top of them like Mario and get

360
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,120
kills like that, which is super cool. One of the

361
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:04,480
things they highlighted were flaws for your character, which I

362
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,279
think is great. So many RPGs, you know, maybe they

363
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,480
have like little downsides on abilities, but it's usually just like oh,

364
00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:12,080
you do like five percent less melee damage, but now

365
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,320
you do more gun damage. But these they really went

366
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,840
out of their way to make some really creative flaws.

367
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,759
One of the ones they talked about was the skill

368
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,679
called bad Knees, where you can crouch and like move quicker,

369
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600
so you're like better in stealth, but whenever you stand up,

370
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:29,480
your knees make a really loud cracking sound and then

371
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:31,919
you like alert all the enemies around you, so you're

372
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,279
like you have to be really careful in stealth. Another

373
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,679
one was called kleptomaniac, where like, stolen goods sell for

374
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:39,639
a lot more money, but now when you're just looking

375
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:41,559
at random objects in the world, there's a small chance

376
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,039
that you'll just you know, accidentally steal it, like without

377
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:45,919
you hitting the take button, it'll just pick it up,

378
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,799
and so you have to deal with consequences, like, shit,

379
00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:49,720
I just stole this thing. Now the guards are coming

380
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:51,759
after me. And there was a lot of them in

381
00:15:51,799 --> 00:15:53,759
there that are just super creative, and like that's gonna

382
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:55,919
be just so fun for character building and like more

383
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,799
so than the world reacting to different choices. Those are

384
00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:00,799
the things I'm excited for on like multi will play throughs, Like, oh,

385
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:03,480
I just want to build these different freakish characters, and

386
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:05,559
the game it seems like it's really going into that.

387
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,919
And you know, the weapons look so much better and

388
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,399
more fun than that first game. One of the couple

389
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,879
of weapons they showed off, one is like you shoot

390
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:15,440
like tumors at enemies and they like grow on a

391
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,720
little and like blow up. Another one was a like drone,

392
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:21,840
like a huge cannon thing that shoots drones that just

393
00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:25,440
like are advertisement drones, and they like distract your opponents

394
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,360
with like these huge bombastic ads, which really fits the

395
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,639
kind of corporate, you know, satire thing they're doing here too,

396
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:33,840
which is just such a weird, like I've never seen

397
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,679
a weapon like that in a game, and I think

398
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,879
it's such a fun, crazy idea. So yeah, it was.

399
00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:40,480
It was a really cool breakdown. There's a lot of

400
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:42,399
really fun stuff in there. So you know, I had

401
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:45,799
my expectations kind of lower for this one, but I'm

402
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:48,039
getting a lot more hyped for The only downside is

403
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:49,919
there's like a million games coming down in October now,

404
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,759
so who knows how much time I'll spend with this

405
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:54,240
one at release. But for a game that I was

406
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,559
like feeling iffy on, I'm now much more sold on it,

407
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,000
so I think, and even like, you know, you can

408
00:16:58,039 --> 00:16:59,759
double jump now, there's a lot more movement options, so

409
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:01,080
I think the game is just gonna feel a lot

410
00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:04,079
less stiff than it did the first time around. So

411
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,319
I'm I'm very excited for out Worlds. I think this

412
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:08,799
you know, obviously got the biggest highlight and I think

413
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:11,000
it was probably the best showing for a game in

414
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:13,039
here and really really sold me on it, So shout

415
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:19,119
outs to that one. Moving along to High on Life

416
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,559
two is a game coming out this winter, so that's

417
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,079
kind of a surprise. That's the game that has like

418
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,519
the weird guns that are like, you know, little creatures, right.

419
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,079
I never got around to playing that one on game pass.

420
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,480
The first one, I think it's still on there, but

421
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:35,680
this one the sequels coming out this year, and you know,

422
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,880
it looks like more of the same. But that's that's cool.

423
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,519
It's a good, good game pass to get for the

424
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:41,279
winter because I think that came out pretty recently. It

425
00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:43,319
was like a two years ago, maybe tween twenty three

426
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,680
or something, so this recent.

427
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: This is another one I can't really talked about in

428
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,200
the Sun Games Fest, where I still thought this was

429
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,480
the first game. I'd completely missed that it came out,

430
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:52,799
so I was like, oh, we're on two already. Okay,

431
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:56,920
but yeah, very wild if you people, if you're ever like, hey,

432
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,359
they keep making the same games, just variations. High on

433
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,160
Life is not that like it's a shooter, but I

434
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,200
feel like very unique. So nothing in there for me,

435
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:06,920
but I always like seeing the trailers.

436
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, and then there was a resonance a

437
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,759
Plague Tail story which is coming out next year. So

438
00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:15,599
this is the third Plague Tail game, but this is

439
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,240
more of a spinoff than like a true sequel. You

440
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,720
can people can go back if they want. Me and

441
00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:22,279
Kirkland did a retrospective for the first game and then

442
00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:24,240
like a spoiler cast on that second one. So we've

443
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,079
covered this series pretty heavily at this point, and I'm

444
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:28,680
pretty surprised to see it here, at least in the

445
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,000
way we did, because without spoiling it into the second game,

446
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,839
there's like a I forget if it's a post credit

447
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,200
or mid credit whatever it is, but there's a cliffhanger

448
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,359
thing that is absolutely not what this game is. So

449
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,519
I'm guessing that there is still like a third game

450
00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:43,480
in the works, and this is like, you know, more

451
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,559
than going for like a spinoff kind of thing. So yeah,

452
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,319
very surprised to see what it was. But you're like, yeah,

453
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,519
it looks like you have a new character here, different setting,

454
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,039
even like in the logo they have like a huge maze,

455
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,720
and I feel like this seems like you're going around

456
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,319
through some underground crips and solving puzzles like the first

457
00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:01,000
games had I don't know. It seems like the setting

458
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:03,400
is quite a bit different than like the Plague and like,

459
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,519
I don't a disaster setting of those first two games,

460
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:07,279
So it seems like a bit of a pivot, which

461
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:09,079
I guess makes sense for a spinoff, But yeah, not

462
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,200
what I was expecting for Plaguetail. But cool to see

463
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,920
the series getting another entry.

464
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:16,759
Speaker 2: Is this the same exact team that did the last

465
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:19,440
two obviously, Okay. I just wondering if it was a

466
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,559
situation where one team was making this and then another

467
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,160
team is making another one kind of like we got

468
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,519
what you know.

469
00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they've scaled up and maybe they have

470
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:26,640
two like internal teams.

471
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:28,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was just wondering that if they because that

472
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:31,480
does seem a little odd to not do the direct fault.

473
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:33,319
It wouldn't see odd if it is a different team,

474
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:34,720
because like, oh, we're gonna work on this, but you

475
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,920
guys work on the main game. But uh yeah, Plague

476
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,759
Tail Legacy. I was like, oh, that's a new one

477
00:19:39,759 --> 00:19:42,079
in like the we talked about like a Star Wars

478
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,960
story from the world of John Wick or you know,

479
00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:46,200
the part two is like or you know that's there's

480
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,920
like oh, something legacy, Like I haven't seen that yet. Movies.

481
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,920
I'm like, okay, there's there's a new one that I

482
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,759
expect we'll see at some point some studio is gonna

483
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,440
see this, like, oh yeah, something legacy. That's a great one.

484
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah. And then after this when we got

485
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,200
the Xbox ally shown off for so, the the Xbox

486
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,279
handheld that has long been rumored, but they finally showed

487
00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:10,759
it off. Here there are two versions, much like the SNX,

488
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,200
there's like a stronger version, a weaker version, you know,

489
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:16,799
different little features here and there. We don't have the

490
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,759
prices for these at the moment. I saw a article

491
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:22,000
that was kind of comparing the tech of it, and

492
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:24,359
it seems like these are a little bit stronger than

493
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,640
a Steam deck. So we'll see where the prices line

494
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,480
up comparison to a Steam deck. But yeah, what did

495
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:32,079
you guys think of this? We finally got these things

496
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,079
shown off. Are you interested in this at all? Do

497
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:35,880
you see yourself picking one of he's up in the future?

498
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: Oh man, I mean, if I didn't buy a Nintendo

499
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,200
Switch too, maybe there's some room for it. But I'm

500
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,160
probably not gonna pick this up when it comes to

501
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,960
this that level of gaming. I like to just sit

502
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,039
down a couch with a controller and console on TV.

503
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,920
That's where I'm at. But there's definitely a demographic and

504
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:57,000
lifestyle that this is designed for, and I think a

505
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,359
lot of people are going to tap into this because

506
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,599
my one buddy, he messages me, he's like, oh, did

507
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,359
you see that new handheld from Xbox? Like, yeah I did.

508
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,759
He's like, I really am considering getting it because he's

509
00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:08,240
he just had a second kid and he's just thinking,

510
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,880
you know, he doesn't have time to sit down and

511
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,079
the kids are running around and playing and he can't

512
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,920
just sit down and play video games.

513
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,039
Speaker 2: So he's just thinking outside the house.

514
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: Well, that's right, he's thinking those little breaks in between

515
00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:20,839
or when it's like he's finally he's going to bed,

516
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,240
He's got like a half an hour to kill and

517
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,079
play a couple of games in bed. This just makes

518
00:21:24,079 --> 00:21:27,079
it so much more easier for him. So I think that, again,

519
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:34,519
there's definitely a demographic available. But I'm wondering because I

520
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:39,119
feel like this is going to incorporate that Steam library somehow,

521
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:39,720
because there was.

522
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it does before it does, Okay, I think, yeah,

523
00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:45,039
it's not just going to be the Xbox Store and

524
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:47,440
game pass on there, but you can download like whatever

525
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,720
other I don't think they mentioned Epic. That was maybe

526
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:51,640
the one they didn't mention, but they did mention Steam

527
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,599
and other storefronts. So you're gonna be able to play

528
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,799
your Steam games on here too.

529
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 3: Okay, can you cast to a TV with us?

530
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: Do you know?

531
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: I have no idea, because that would.

532
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 3: Be another huge Like that'd be a big get for them.

533
00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:12,160
I would say, I meant.

534
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: Yet because I like that. That's to me, like that

535
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,400
like a switch. That's the thing, because like Emily was

536
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,480
watching when this was revealed and like talk about what

537
00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:21,240
we buy or this that, and like, oh sly, I'm

538
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,839
always down to potential by something in the future like this,

539
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,359
because you know, like when started playing Minecraft, you know,

540
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,200
we got five kids, so at some point we're gonna

541
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,799
need consoles for all these little people run around some point.

542
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:33,079
But from where I am now, two things. Yeah, I

543
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,799
found it very never bad to get tech out there.

544
00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:38,400
But when they said fall this year, I found that

545
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:40,799
very interesting because, like Tay just said, I was like, well,

546
00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:42,680
I just bought a switch, and I feel like there's

547
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,880
gonna be a lot of that, So I feel like

548
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,079
it's the worst time to release like another handhold, like

549
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,359
even just a little bit later into like next year,

550
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,279
like spring. So timing's I think tough for them, And yeah,

551
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:55,680
for me, it's like, uh as with the Switch, right

552
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,839
I that thing is dogged ninety five percent of the time.

553
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,799
So for me, if this, hey like the switch where

554
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:04,279
it'll replace the Xbox and in the future, then maybe

555
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:06,000
I would get this because you have the option. But

556
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:08,200
if it's just a handheld, not personally for me. But

557
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,680
I think it's great for people to do that. But

558
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,680
I think that is the tough thing to compare with

559
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,920
the Switch, because I think there's they got everybody they

560
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,960
got the peel like handheld, then they appulate myself that

561
00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:20,839
do that, where if this is just a handheld, I'm

562
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,160
curious how it goes and I'm curious how it sells. Obviously,

563
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,640
it's nice that it's like you log in, you account,

564
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,480
your games are there. It's not like a separate bonding

565
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:29,119
things like I think that's fantastic.

566
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: Right now, it's not like the portal where you can

567
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,160
only stream things right like yeah, and download things natively on.

568
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,519
Speaker 2: Here definitely seems like the better option. It's just a

569
00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:38,400
curious case of Okay, how much people are really into

570
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,680
this because even when Nintendo had like let's say, the

571
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,160
Wii and the whatever, the game Boy, the what did

572
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,839
they call them at the end there, the XD or

573
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:47,240
what the heck were the last consoles the three I

574
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,079
sax those ones to me that still those still were

575
00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:52,759
different markets, right, And I feel like now the Switch

576
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:55,599
has merged those And I feel like it's tough with

577
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,680
these because I feel like a lot of handheld game players,

578
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,920
there's millions around the world, but unfortunately it's them on

579
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,440
their phones, like they have tons of games with apps.

580
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,839
So it's like it's just a question of you know,

581
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,599
how much of the people that own these games would

582
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,000
want to travel them and that could be a lot.

583
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,319
There could be tons of people that take buses, want

584
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:16,599
them around, want us. Like he said, the situation takes

585
00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:18,519
from the beds on the couch. I just don't know

586
00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:20,640
the numbers. And it's tough to compare to Switch because

587
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,440
that's two things. Like if the Nintendo had a console

588
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:26,319
and a handheld, I'd still just be behind the console, right.

589
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,400
So I'm curious on a business side and see how

590
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,440
it goes. But again, releasing with the Switch, it's a

591
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,319
tough time because that's the hot ticket handheld right now.

592
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,839
So I'm curious how those.

593
00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think since they partnered with Rog,

594
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,799
the company here who already has their handheld out on

595
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:43,680
the market, and it's kind of like the number two

596
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,079
behind the Steam Deck, and obviously the Switch is number one,

597
00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:48,240
but like that would be in that like that kind

598
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,079
of handheld PC space. They're kind of number two in

599
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,200
the market right there. And so I feel like, you know,

600
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,440
from Xbox's perspective, like the investment here on R and

601
00:24:57,519 --> 00:24:59,960
D and stuff is probably way less than like Tip

602
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,759
building out a new console from scratch, and so I

603
00:25:02,759 --> 00:25:04,759
feel like the investment from them is probably a lot lower.

604
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,559
And you know, it just is offers a new vertical

605
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:09,799
for people to be able to subscribe to game Pass

606
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:12,480
and like play their things, which they you know, technically

607
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,680
haven't had before. You could just have got the Rog

608
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,759
allies exist right now, or you could get this Steam

609
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:18,680
Deck and you can you know, with Steam Deck you've

610
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,720
to do like a couple workarounds, but you can eventually

611
00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:22,680
get game Pass working on there. But to have something

612
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,640
that is natively built for their for their tech, I

613
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,519
think is a huge step up. So we'll see. And

614
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:30,920
even if it like kind of flops, I feel like

615
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,039
it's not the end of the world. It's not like

616
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:33,880
they've put all their eggs in this basket. It's just

617
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,000
like another way to get people, you know, subscribe to

618
00:25:38,039 --> 00:25:40,799
game Pass in a way. So I think the other

619
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:43,799
thing too, I think just them marketing this around Silk Song,

620
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:46,799
which is like one of the hottest like indies out

621
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:48,559
there that people have been waiting for that release date

622
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:50,640
and to kind of I don't know, markt a lot

623
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,720
a lot of the hype around this around the consolet

624
00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:54,799
obviously when this when the game comes out, it'll be

625
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:56,640
on like Steam and whatever too, so you won't need

626
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,240
this this handheld to play it. That would be insane.

627
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,559
They dropped like the hugest bag ever at Silk Song's

628
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:05,079
door and like, you know, made it exclusive on this handheld.

629
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,279
But that would be a really weird idea. But I

630
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:10,279
think that was kind of a smart a little bit devious. Yeah,

631
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,160
I don't really see myself picking this up. I think

632
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,599
I very rarely play things on the go right now,

633
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,279
this which does the trick for how how rarely I

634
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:21,920
should say that I need access to this? Uh, but yeah,

635
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,720
I don't know what we'll see down the line because

636
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,160
I've considered, you know, looking at Steam decks and things,

637
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,960
so I'm curious to see where the price point lands.

638
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,920
Uh do you guys, where do you guys think this

639
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,720
works with game Pass? Because right now there is you know,

640
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:35,839
game Pass Console tier, there's game Pass PC tier, and

641
00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:38,039
then there's Ultimate which allows you to play game Pass

642
00:26:38,079 --> 00:26:40,680
games on both console and PC. And then I don't

643
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,400
know how that works with streaming. I don't know if

644
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,839
that's this third tier or like how you get access

645
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,759
to that Xbox Cloud thing if you want to play

646
00:26:46,759 --> 00:26:49,359
things on your phone with the controller? But like, is

647
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,960
there a new tier for this? Is this just considered

648
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:56,680
console tier? Do they whip out a new Ultimate tier

649
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,920
that gives you access to all, like all three places? Like,

650
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,480
how do you think they work? Pass onto this machine?

651
00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: So if I had let's say I had the same

652
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:09,079
console an Xbox in the living room, Xbox in the bedroom,

653
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,720
and if I logged on when I just be able

654
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:12,799
to share that same game.

655
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 3: Pass, Yeah, that's how it works with PC, but you

656
00:27:16,279 --> 00:27:17,079
have to pay for it.

657
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,839
Speaker 1: This is tier yes, PC?

658
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, but so but I'm saying, Okay, so I

659
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,599
guess what I'm trying to clarify is I think just

660
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,559
the Xbox, like you could just get the same play

661
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,240
just Xbox games on it, right.

662
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: The henhelth the ally, Yeah, I mean I I assume

663
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,240
it'll be just bundled in with the consoles here. But

664
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,160
I don't know. I don't think they said that.

665
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: Okay, I just think, yeah, I guess I don't know

666
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,160
on the PC side, because I don't look at in

667
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:47,559
that stuff.

668
00:27:47,559 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: I just think, yeah, maybe it be the PC tier.

669
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,759
I don't know. I guess like, is this a PC

670
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:51,960
or is this a console? I don't know.

671
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: It's an Xbox, you know as this this is an Xbox,

672
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,640
but I don't I guess maybe, answering a question you

673
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,200
didn't ask, I'll say that I don't think you'll have

674
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,559
to addsh al for any more games Pass stuff if

675
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,039
you just want to play Xbox games on here. I

676
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:07,000
think you'll just have the game Pass subscription and be fine.

677
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,400
But I don't know how that works.

678
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,799
Speaker 1: So, yeah, what do you think, Taylor? How do you

679
00:28:10,839 --> 00:28:14,039
think they try and squeeze people forever? You last penny

680
00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:15,319
they have on this thing, or do they want like

681
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,079
a cheaper like here's like an eight ninety nine tier

682
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:20,559
to just only play on this hand held to get people,

683
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:22,640
to incentivize people to like pick this thing up and

684
00:28:22,759 --> 00:28:23,079
use it.

685
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 3: If they really wanted to be sleazy, then absolutely they

686
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,079
could create another tier and just like instead of Ultimate,

687
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,759
it's Supremo and it has all three different consoles Metal

688
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,680
mel meshed in there under the one subscription. But I

689
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,599
hope that they don't do that. I feel like this

690
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,359
is gonna be so in line with console that it's

691
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,759
just gonna be considered the same thing. The basic games

692
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:48,559
Pass that you get as console, and if you want

693
00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:50,559
the Ultimate, you can get all of that together with

694
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:53,920
the PC. But I just feel like PC, some of

695
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,920
those games on games Pass, like not all of them

696
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,759
work on PC. I don't imagine, So I think you

697
00:28:59,839 --> 00:29:02,480
have some limitations and some that are probably like maybe

698
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:04,519
they're poured it over to PC on games Pass to

699
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,279
have that functionality. I don't know how it really works,

700
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,279
but I feel like that keeps PC kind of its

701
00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:12,680
own separate thing, but keeps the ally more in line

702
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,960
with the console because of how it's how it operates,

703
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,839
but it is a Windows operating system, right, Like you

704
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,079
can go and do other things on here, so.

705
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, I don't know how much of

706
00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:25,519
that is built in or you have to, like like

707
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:27,640
the Steam Deck down all this random stuff to be

708
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,680
able to get outside of just the games of it.

709
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,960
I'm not not sure. I mean, there's not like the

710
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:35,119
Xbox button on it. I'm sure that's like if you

711
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,119
just want to access game pass, you just hit that button,

712
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:39,200
But I don't know otherwise if it just yeah, has

713
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,400
like Windows ninety seven on there or something, you know,

714
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,400
that'd be crazy about.

715
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,599
Speaker 3: I wonder how long before someone wipes it and that

716
00:29:45,759 --> 00:29:49,000
just installs like an Apple software in there instead.

717
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,279
Speaker 2: It'll probably be done.

718
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure people have done that on their Steam deck

719
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:53,000
just because they.

720
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: Can market you know.

721
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll keep an eye out for this thing.

722
00:29:58,039 --> 00:30:01,920
I yeah, I'm curious to see how it does. Yeah.

723
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,720
I think it'll be a pretty small market, but for

724
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,720
the enthusiasts, it's probably a nice little option there.

725
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

726
00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: Blood of don Walker, The Blood of Don Walker. I

727
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,960
feel like you guys might be into this game. What

728
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:13,960
do you think of this one as the kind of

729
00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:16,799
vampire looking thing. Apparently this is like the Witcher three

730
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,759
like creative directors like spin off like not spinoff game,

731
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:22,400
but he's left and done this or something. So you

732
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,799
guys have any thoughts on this one?

733
00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:29,599
Speaker 2: A wait for Blade? Okay, Just like I said in

734
00:30:29,599 --> 00:30:31,720
the disc or, the origin was literally like you know,

735
00:30:31,799 --> 00:30:34,920
he's where his family gets attacked. He's a day walker

736
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,799
and he's I'm gonna use what they used against me,

737
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,960
and he had the setting. But no, this one actually

738
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,960
didn't do too much for me, so I uh yeah,

739
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,559
I don't. I think it's just the same thing. I don't.

740
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,599
I like to try and space out different genres, and

741
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,680
unfortunately for them, I'm kind of sitting around waiting for

742
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,599
a vampire games. So maybe don walker if I hear

743
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,000
great things, because the good thing is with the games Pass,

744
00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:56,359
it's just a doubt this was a game all not

745
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,720
all these, but most of these are games Pass games, right.

746
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,640
I think there was still a couple that weren't.

747
00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:02,519
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, there's a few that aren't, like

748
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:03,759
Final Fantasy and whatnot.

749
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: Was this one that's uh sure?

750
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:08,759
Speaker 1: I wasn't writing that down for every game individually.

751
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if it was, that's always A great thing

752
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,880
with the Xbox is if there's something that hits, it

753
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,960
is just a download a way and it's easy. You

754
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,079
can commit a couple hoars and be like, I'm just

755
00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:21,279
trying to figure out here if it is uh no,

756
00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:23,759
it's not, so this is coming. It's on play any

757
00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:26,079
because that was a confusing thing in the left corner

758
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:29,440
they'd have two boxes either Play Anywhere or the or

759
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,119
the games Pass or have them both. And this is

760
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,880
on Steam and PS five so h no, nothing not

761
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,119
nothing for me on this one really, So yeah, with

762
00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:42,119
not be on games Pass, definitely probably not forever.

763
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:46,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, one of the most hyped things for me. Well,

764
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,920
Super meat Boy three D. Do you guys ever play

765
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,079
Super meet Boy back in the day?

766
00:31:50,759 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: No heard great things though, Yeah.

767
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: One of the great all time two D platformers. I

768
00:31:56,519 --> 00:31:58,119
love the aesthetic here, love that they kind of had

769
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,240
like the Mario pipe at the start of this that

770
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:01,200
was pretty cheeky.

771
00:32:01,759 --> 00:32:03,759
Speaker 2: I was worried. I'm not worried, but I was like,

772
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:05,799
what is going on here? Yeah?

773
00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's cool, Like I feel like the art

774
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,680
style is such a glowop glow from what that two

775
00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:12,920
D game was, which was very dark and and grungy

776
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,039
and not very colorful other than like the Red Blood

777
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:16,519
that was everywhere, But I feel like this is much

778
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:20,559
more squishy and Mario like and glossy, which which is fun.

779
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:22,799
But yeah, Super Repoys is great. I think this looks

780
00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:26,119
like a really fun three D variation on that. So

781
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,079
I'm very very excited for this one. That was one

782
00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:30,440
of my I was not expecting this at any point,

783
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,279
but it was cool to see and I love too.

784
00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:34,440
Like one of the things with meat Boys, like once,

785
00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:36,599
the levels are super hard, so it might take you

786
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,920
like thirty forty to fifty tries to get through a level,

787
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:41,039
but then when you do beat the level, you get

788
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:43,640
like a little video of seeing all of the meat

789
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,599
Boys fly, like all the paths you took, you see

790
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:48,279
all of them sequentially, and so you say, oh, I

791
00:32:48,319 --> 00:32:50,319
died on these spikes here, I ran to this salt

792
00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:52,480
blade here, and then eventually year one makes it to

793
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,519
the end from the successful run. Instead, I have that

794
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:56,839
in three D and seeing that here of just like yeah,

795
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,039
fifty meat boys all flying off at once and just

796
00:32:59,079 --> 00:33:02,759
splash into the same props and things is really hilarious

797
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:04,839
to see. So I think this game is gonna be

798
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:10,880
a banger and I'm very excited for it. And Okay,

799
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:16,000
next up is uh the Indiana Jones delC the Order

800
00:33:16,039 --> 00:33:18,079
of Giants, which we knew about. Of course. It was

801
00:33:18,119 --> 00:33:20,400
part of the like pre order bonus or whatever it was.

802
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,559
I think they even had the name of it back then.

803
00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:25,680
But now we have the release date, which is September fourth, Taylor,

804
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:27,720
I forget. Have you finished Jones at this point or

805
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,440
are you still working your way through that.

806
00:33:29,839 --> 00:33:34,519
Speaker 3: I'm still like one more location away from finishing it all.

807
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:35,440
I'm almost there.

808
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:37,799
Speaker 1: But yeah, are you buying this DLC?

809
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 3: Travis?

810
00:33:39,079 --> 00:33:42,279
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a bye. Hey, Well, I don't know, so

811
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,160
I guess I didn't assume so because the game was

812
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,319
on game Pass. So the DLC beings.

813
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: That's how they get you though, That's how they get

814
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,920
more money out of you. They put the game out

815
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,400
and then if you want to get early access or

816
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,039
if you want DLC, you gotta shell up. Considering this

817
00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:00,480
is part of the like, you know, deluxe edition of

818
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,359
the game that costs like forty bucks. I assume that

819
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,799
this is paid.

820
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,359
Speaker 2: We'll see the price. I might just go in and

821
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,519
finish all the side stuff because I love that game.

822
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:10,039
I can't remember, like I said I was, I didn't

823
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:11,840
make a list. I think it's my game the year

824
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,480
last year. There's still some stuff, especially there's like the

825
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:17,480
like the that tomb that you gotta go and get

826
00:34:17,519 --> 00:34:19,280
all this stuff and if you get all then opens

827
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,320
up this big door neat to reveal what's like kind

828
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:26,719
of after the game. So yeah, to me, this will

829
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,960
be dependent on the price. I will eventually buy it

830
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,559
at some point because I know it will go down,

831
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:33,719
but I think what I might just do is scratch

832
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,199
the itch and just play the rest of the side

833
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,840
missions I have in September, because yeah, I loved that

834
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,960
game and this was funny enough, like the uh the

835
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,360
other day, my hope most hype thing was you know

836
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,199
a DLC in this conference because I very much enjoyed

837
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,320
this game. So yeah, ask me when we get close

838
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,559
to September with the prices, But I think it's a

839
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:53,719
it's a fifty to fifty, but I definitely will acquire

840
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,800
at some point because I loved Annia Jones. I thought

841
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,280
they did a fantastic job and I definitely want more

842
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,840
of that, so it will be in my hands. And yeah,

843
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,559
because it's just a question of what's going on too,

844
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,480
because it's near the end of the summer, so it

845
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,559
depends when's ghost Y Hotel yet, because I haven't decided

846
00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:08,400
if I'm getting that one.

847
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: H it's like October third or fourth whatever, that third.

848
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 2: Ghost in October? Yeah, oh, I thought that was August.

849
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,119
What was I thinking is what's the big? Is there

850
00:35:16,119 --> 00:35:20,039
some big in August for you?

851
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it's for me. I like you're playing

852
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,480
to s Training Donkey Kong and then nothing.

853
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,519
Speaker 2: Until just those two games, I guess sober.

854
00:35:27,039 --> 00:35:30,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, yeah, and I I kind of did you

855
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,639
see anything in this? I feel like this trailer wasn't

856
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,119
It was kind of half like just reminding you of

857
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:37,199
the game exists, and then yes, half like the release date.

858
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,280
But I feel like there wasn't really much sauce in

859
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,440
here in terms of the actual game, right.

860
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,639
Speaker 2: No, like the whole like all the land, the giant

861
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:45,519
stuff like that, Like that doesn't get me really going.

862
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:48,280
But just because I like the game that much, that's

863
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,719
why I would purchase it again. So it's just it's

864
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,519
it's kind of to me very similar like Spider Man DLC,

865
00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:55,559
where obviously that was different because I had black Cat

866
00:35:55,599 --> 00:35:57,519
in it, right, So that was right away selling points

867
00:35:57,519 --> 00:36:00,039
and other things. But no matter what I was, I

868
00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:02,360
didn't get that DLC because I loved the initial game.

869
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,559
So that's kind of like where I am here. It

870
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:07,440
just depends. But no, I'm probably just thinking in August

871
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:09,440
is a mental gear, but I'm not gonna buy that

872
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:11,719
day one. It's just that's still my mind of at

873
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,719
one point as a potential. But that we got Mafia

874
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,599
Old Country and then Madden twenty six and then you

875
00:36:17,679 --> 00:36:21,559
got Gears reloaded, so I got some stuff coming on August.

876
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I liked Jones enough, but I don't need

877
00:36:25,679 --> 00:36:28,559
uh more. Like, I'll play a sequel if that comes around,

878
00:36:28,559 --> 00:36:30,679
but I don't need to jump into this DLC for

879
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:35,960
thirty forty bucks whatever, So I'll be skipping this one personally.

880
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,519
Next up was a huge surprise when I saw this,

881
00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:43,400
specifically when I saw the studio's name pop up, Game

882
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,119
Freak making an Xbox game. I think this is also

883
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,000
on PlayStation as well, but game forre the developers of Pokemon,

884
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:51,719
which sometimes it's you know, you forget that. Game Freak

885
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,840
is not owned by Nintendo and they can make things

886
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,760
on other platforms. They just so rarely do. But I think,

887
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,480
you know, considering how much flak the recent Pokemon I've got,

888
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,159
just in terms of like visual quality or like frame

889
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,760
rates and things, it was cool to see, like, Wow,

890
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,360
a game freak game that actually looks triple A and

891
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,280
has like crazy visuals and has like soulsy combat and

892
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,960
it's like dark and gritty. Taylor, what do you think

893
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,599
about this? Since you play a lot of game freak stuff,

894
00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:18,559
is this like you jazzed about this?

895
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 3: It's a complete curveball from I mean, I don't think

896
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,559
I've played anything outside of Pokemon when it comes to

897
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:27,960
game freak, and so just to go from something like

898
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,519
that to this, it's like what, It's a huge change

899
00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:34,920
of pace. And yeah, just I've not played Elden Ring.

900
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:37,199
I played a little bit of Dark Souls, so my

901
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,800
experience is very limited. But I think you're right, this

902
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,239
definitely bears kind of a similar vibe to it. It

903
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,360
almost gave me like Monster Hunter vibes to a slight degree.

904
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,320
But I don't know, I'm sure that's pretty similar to

905
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:55,679
your Elden Rings and your Dark Souls, But yeah, I

906
00:37:56,039 --> 00:37:59,400
am curious about this one, and I think the world

907
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,239
that they've created. It is pretty is pretty cool. The

908
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,519
creatures seem pretty neat, But I worry that maybe for

909
00:38:04,639 --> 00:38:08,119
the general populace out there, in the general demographic, that's

910
00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:10,599
not me. Is this just more of the same or

911
00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:13,039
is it satisfying that craving like people have finished Elton

912
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:15,199
Ring like I want more, I want more? Or is

913
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:16,639
it redundant?

914
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

915
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean there's definitely a lot of these kinds of

916
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,960
games out there, so remains bas seeing what's really unique

917
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,199
about it. For me, what stood out was the just

918
00:38:24,199 --> 00:38:27,119
to kind of plant root growing mechanics. It seems like

919
00:38:27,159 --> 00:38:28,639
a big part of this is your like a I

920
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:31,119
don't know, some sort of earth manser type thing where

921
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:32,840
you can make roots grow to the ground and like

922
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,039
climb them like a bridge, or you can like create

923
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:37,280
giant flowers and like jump off those and use them

924
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,360
for I don't know, attacking monsters in some way that

925
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,400
kind of thing. So it just, yeah, looks cool, and

926
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,079
I I am just any time game Freak does anything

927
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:49,000
non Pokemon, it's kind of notable just to see what

928
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:50,800
they're what they're cooking here. So I don't know, I

929
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,079
feel like that was maybe a bit of a light

930
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,519
theme here of not just the showcase but Xbox in general.

931
00:38:56,559 --> 00:38:58,920
I feel like, you know, they went bought Mojenks, they

932
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,400
have Minecraft, like the big game in the world, and

933
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,360
then they went and bought Activision, so they have Call

934
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,920
of Duty, which is like the biggest thing in the world,

935
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,679
and like, I think Pokemon has passed even what Microsoft

936
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,119
could buy, Like that's just beyond there. But with things

937
00:39:11,199 --> 00:39:13,800
like this getting game freaking the door, Power World, which

938
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,360
they had like a big exclusivity thing with, and like

939
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,679
the game Pass launch, and then another game in this

940
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,159
showcase that was called Animo. Do you guys remember that one,

941
00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:24,159
which had like very I thought that was a power

942
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,719
old DLC or something because I had like Pokemon looking

943
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,079
things in it too, And even like the theme song

944
00:39:30,119 --> 00:39:31,719
of that game was, like I swear they were singing

945
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,199
Power World. So I was like, I don't know what's

946
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,039
going on here, but I just feel like in some

947
00:39:35,079 --> 00:39:37,079
ways Xbox is like, Okay, let's try and go after

948
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:39,920
the Pokemon market in any way that we can other

949
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,239
than like obviously we're not gonna get Pokemon on our machines,

950
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,119
but let's try and get game freaquence games that look

951
00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:47,840
like Pokemon so we'll see if it works. I don't know.

952
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,079
I don't know if people are gonna be buying an

953
00:39:49,199 --> 00:39:51,199
Xbox to play this game, they'll probably just play on

954
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,119
their PS five because I think it's also on there

955
00:39:53,159 --> 00:39:56,239
as well. But yeah, really really cool, A big surprise

956
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:58,400
for me, and I think the game looks looks pretty cool.

957
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:05,360
And how about we take our first break. I'm gonna

958
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,960
quickly thank our Patreon producers for helping us create this,

959
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,360

Thank you to Aaron Braden in April of Darkness, Jack Grant,

in this here side Quest and the rest of the

geek First Realm. Without you, guys, we could not do

965
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,079
all of this, but thankfully we get to do all

966
00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:27,800
of it because of you, So thank you for that.

967
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 3: And you did.

968
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:30,079
Speaker 1: Patron's the best place to go to get so it's

969
00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:33,320
early and add free exclusive stuff just coming out all

970
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,800
the time. You also join our discord, you know, leave

971
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,559
a review, all that fun stuff. But yeah, how about

972
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:44,920
we take a quick ad break and we'll be right back. Okay,

973
00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:49,840
we are back. Clockwork Revolution is a game from Inexile

974
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,519
that we saw. I forget if it was last year,

975
00:40:51,599 --> 00:40:54,440
two years ago. It's kind of a steam punky aesthetic.

976
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,800
There's a town, there's a big mystery going on, there's

977
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,679
a lot of rich guys who are shitty, a lot

978
00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:03,239
of RPG systems, which makes sense for the studio that

979
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,239
has previously brought all the Wasteland games. This was a

980
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,119
weird one where like huge trailer, lots of info, lots

981
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:11,960
of characters, lots of gameplay, but then everything except for

982
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,920
like a release date or even a release window. So

983
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,000
this just felt like to me like a trailer that

984
00:41:16,039 --> 00:41:18,880
you would show like really close to like releasing a game,

985
00:41:19,039 --> 00:41:21,039
like you know, maybe it's this year somehow, or like

986
00:41:21,079 --> 00:41:23,559
next year or something. But we didn't get that at all,

987
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,280
So I'm really I'm curious why. I feels like they

988
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,800
blew their a load a little bit early here. We'll

989
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,599
see if they have more in the tank to show

990
00:41:30,599 --> 00:41:32,880
in the future. But what did you guys. I don't

991
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,239
know if you guys remember this one from like the

992
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,239
last time we saw it, but would you think of this.

993
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 2: No I don't remember last time. This felt like the

994
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,719
first summer was seeing it. But I know why I

995
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,719
would feel like that, because I thought this was a

996
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,639
great trailer, a great showing. I thought it was very fantastic.

997
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,239
I think, like you, it felt like this was gonna

998
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,079
be this November, this December, sort of like tag, but

999
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,000
it wasn't. So it was very odd. It felt like,

1000
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,280
you know, here's everything we got, that's why you should

1001
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,000
be interested in the game. And then it's like, Okay,

1002
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,559
why is we getting all this? Maybe there's something that

1003
00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:08,920
in the future we're gonna get something even like Q

1004
00:42:09,039 --> 00:42:11,239
one of next year, and that I'll make it feel

1005
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,800
like a little different. But I felt like it would

1006
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,559
have been on there, So it was odd. But I

1007
00:42:14,599 --> 00:42:16,039
know the reason why I would not remember this game

1008
00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:18,280
last time. I'm just not into steampunk. So for me

1009
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,599
right away like, yeah, it's just not like blocks.

1010
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: You don't like steam, you don't like bronze and.

1011
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 2: Gold like gold, I yeah, maybe I call. I saw

1012
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,639
this with my mother in law about because she doesn't

1013
00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:32,239
get a new watch again, kind of like watches, I

1014
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,079
don't need it. It has a lot of many things

1015
00:42:34,119 --> 00:42:35,840
on the phone. I don't like things being on my body.

1016
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,519
But yeah, so this is just one of those things

1017
00:42:37,519 --> 00:42:40,559
where I think this looks great, and I agree with that.

1018
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:42,639
Maybe they should have held back a little bit if

1019
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,639
they unless the release date is closer, when they just

1020
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,800
for some reason didn't want to drop it. Obviously it's

1021
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,159
not this year. But no, I think this looked really cool.

1022
00:42:51,159 --> 00:42:54,039
If you're in this very well, like gave you store beats,

1023
00:42:54,039 --> 00:42:56,960
gave you multiple weapons, locations, lots of things going on.

1024
00:42:57,039 --> 00:43:00,880
There's just something about steampunk that's just it's never done

1025
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,119
it to me, you know, just just not appealing to

1026
00:43:03,159 --> 00:43:03,599
the eye.

1027
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,639
Speaker 1: So fair enough, what do you think.

1028
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,119
Speaker 3: I'm definitely not as against steampunk as as Travis as I've.

1029
00:43:13,039 --> 00:43:15,599
Speaker 2: Against it as harsh. I just not like I don't

1030
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,400
enjoy it. I'm not like steampunk. No steam Bunk would

1031
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,400
be like, why you guys into this? You guys are losers.

1032
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,119
Now I'm just like, yeah, sure, you know I was

1033
00:43:25,159 --> 00:43:27,960
against call duty when this podcast started, and now I'm

1034
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,239
a turncoat coat.

1035
00:43:29,159 --> 00:43:30,199
Speaker 3: So you are a turn crew.

1036
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:33,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now turning back after the sucking conference, we'll

1037
00:43:33,679 --> 00:43:33,960
get there.

1038
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,159
Speaker 3: It looks fun, It really really does, and it reminds

1039
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,880
me of like I haven't played a lot of Fallout,

1040
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:48,599
but I got like Fallout steampunk vibes from this. Maybe

1041
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:52,320
maybe some o yeah, now I'll stick with that Fallout steampunk.

1042
00:43:54,119 --> 00:43:57,119
But that being said, like it's still it looks fun

1043
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,719
and maybe Wolfenstein steam Hunk would be the comparison.

1044
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: Actually is that very steam punky.

1045
00:44:04,639 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 2: No, No, like the steampunk version of Wolf and Stein,

1046
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,800
which I would disagree because we disagree. It's a lot

1047
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,400
crazier than this, and.

1048
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 3: I felt like this is pretty crazy in terms of

1049
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,400
like it's humor and inzaniness.

1050
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: No, I feel like Fallout is a better compared Wolf

1051
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,639
and Stegin is more like Doom crazy, where it's like

1052
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:26,280
weird ass Nazi lore and like what if scenarios and stuff.

1053
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,159
This felt like more yeah, like a Fallout type of humor,

1054
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,000
very quirky, very different type of characters. This doesn't look

1055
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,280
post apocalyptic, but that's sort of way where something happened

1056
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,800
in the world and now this is the life is So.

1057
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. The characters definitely have like

1058
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,239
a Borderlands kind of vibe to them to slight degree.

1059
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 2: You listen Fallout, you listen uh Wolfenstein, and now there's

1060
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,400
another one. In there, so it's like four, it's just

1061
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,320
all all three more?

1062
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,199
Speaker 1: What was one more thing that it felt like?

1063
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 3: Here one more? Ooh ah if you know what. Looking

1064
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,320
at it, it feels like it has a little bit

1065
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,519
of a BioShock Infinite kind.

1066
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,639
Speaker 2: Of Okay, sure's yeah, then you're on the right.

1067
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nice.

1068
00:45:14,119 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this game looks great. I'm just once

1069
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,239
again so curious about that release window for it.

1070
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: You know.

1071
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that Phil teased is

1072
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:24,880
it like twenty twenty six is gonna be a big year.

1073
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,559
It's like an anniversary year for them, And he mentioned

1074
00:45:27,559 --> 00:45:30,480
that like Halo Gears, Fable is like a lot of

1075
00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:32,960
the tent poles are going to be coming out. He's

1076
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,559
lied many times before, so we'll see if any of

1077
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:36,840
that sticks. But I wonder if that's like part of

1078
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,119
it is like, I don't know, do we want to

1079
00:45:38,119 --> 00:45:39,920
release this in twenty twenty six where it gets buried

1080
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,440
by our own stuff, by GTA, by other things. And

1081
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,000
so maybe that's why they're holding off for now. But

1082
00:45:44,039 --> 00:45:46,840
who knows. Maybe by the time the Developer Direct would

1083
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,079
roll around in like January of next year, maybe they'll

1084
00:45:50,079 --> 00:45:51,400
put it in there and it'll be one of those

1085
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,119
four games they highlight and maybe it will come out

1086
00:45:53,119 --> 00:45:55,000
that year, but maybe they just don't want to commit

1087
00:45:55,039 --> 00:45:57,760
to it at this present time. So I'm really really

1088
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,840
curious to see what they want. I've only like dabbled

1089
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,280
a bit and Wasteline one and two. I haven't played

1090
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,199
Waistline three, which I hear is kind of like by

1091
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,039
far the best of the series, So I'm excited to

1092
00:46:06,159 --> 00:46:07,639
check that out at some point and see what their

1093
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,719
RPG chops are looking like. Uh, speaking of RPG chops,

1094
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,159
grounded to a huge surprise in here because I feel

1095
00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:18,159
like that game, I guess it was twenty twenty one.

1096
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,119
I want to say when it like finally went one

1097
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:22,400
point oh, maybe it was twenty twenty two.

1098
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 2: Actually, I can say there's a lot of like versions

1099
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,079
of it out though, right or like early.

1100
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I want to say it came on twenty nineteen,

1101
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,599
but then like maybe twenty twenty two is when it

1102
00:46:30,639 --> 00:46:32,440
went one point oh, and then I feel like even

1103
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,679
into twenty twenty four, it got an update still like

1104
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,599
the custom backyard like map maker thing you could do.

1105
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,519
So that's why I was very surprised to see here.

1106
00:46:40,559 --> 00:46:43,519
But somehow Obsidian, as they were joking about in the Strike,

1107
00:46:43,559 --> 00:46:45,119
has like a third game coming out this year out

1108
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:47,719
of World's Avowed and Grounded too. Is so obviously different

1109
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,880
teams within Obsidian, but it's crazy the output that this

1110
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,840
team has, and especially with how recently Grounded came out,

1111
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,719
which that was my game of the year in the

1112
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,800
year that it came out. I love that game a lot.

1113
00:46:57,119 --> 00:46:58,800
I still haven't finished it, which I think is part

1114
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,159
of why I'm like not over the hill excited for this,

1115
00:47:02,159 --> 00:47:04,199
because I've spent like sixty seventy hours and it's just

1116
00:47:04,199 --> 00:47:06,199
a hard game at some points, and so I've just

1117
00:47:06,199 --> 00:47:08,800
been like stuck in like the endgame part of it.

1118
00:47:09,639 --> 00:47:11,679
But yeah, so this is coming out into game preview

1119
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:13,519
in July, so once again it's it's not the full

1120
00:47:13,559 --> 00:47:16,119
release coming out of this July. It's just once again

1121
00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:19,039
going through that community phase. So I will probably not

1122
00:47:19,079 --> 00:47:21,440
play it this July. I'll probably wait until it's done

1123
00:47:21,639 --> 00:47:22,960
because I don't want to help them make the game.

1124
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,280
I just want to play the game when it's done.

1125
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,480
That's usually how I am with like early access stuff.

1126
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,239
In terms of what they showed new here. It's like

1127
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,760
obviously a new Now instead of a backyard, you're in

1128
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,760
a local park and there's you know, fun, there's like

1129
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,920
a knocked over ice cream stand. There's like all sorts

1130
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,639
of turmoil, huge garbage can which you know would be

1131
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,639
huge levels. So I'm excited for all that new stuff.

1132
00:47:41,039 --> 00:47:44,119
They talked about how there's riteable creatures like ants which

1133
00:47:44,119 --> 00:47:46,599
you can use to like help you build. There's rideable

1134
00:47:47,599 --> 00:47:49,800
like spiders that you can use for combat, and they're

1135
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,480
gonna add other ones up. They'll probably get like a

1136
00:47:51,519 --> 00:47:53,679
b in there. You can fly at some point, I'm sure,

1137
00:47:54,159 --> 00:47:56,079
and then they added classes as well, So I think

1138
00:47:56,119 --> 00:47:57,519
that's one of the things that surprised me so much

1139
00:47:57,559 --> 00:48:00,360
about Grounded was that it was a really fun, lushed

1140
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,719
out RPG game, because it didn't really seem like that's

1141
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,440
what you were going for with it, but they're like

1142
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,760
the stats, the perks, all that stuff was actually really

1143
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,800
really well done, and you could really specialize your character

1144
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,400
in a way. But now even more so, you can

1145
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,320
build out like I'm going to play an assassin class

1146
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,119
and like arranged class. So one thing I liked about

1147
00:48:16,119 --> 00:48:17,440
the first game is how you could kind of be

1148
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,400
a little bit of everything seems like now you got

1149
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,880
to specialize a bit more, so, you know, maybe a

1150
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,440
further incentivizing multiplayer. Even though it's a game I primarily

1151
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,800
played alone. However, I sometimes did play it with Taylor.

1152
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,159
We played a few times, and I played some other

1153
00:48:30,199 --> 00:48:32,360
friends as well. So, yeah, what did you think about this?

1154
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,639
Because you've played like a good few hours of Grounded,

1155
00:48:34,679 --> 00:48:36,559
did this speak to you anything stand out to you

1156
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:37,599
about the sequel here?

1157
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:43,199
Speaker 3: Yeah? My my experience has been, Yeah, it's been it's

1158
00:48:43,199 --> 00:48:46,360
been a few hours in this game. It's between you

1159
00:48:46,519 --> 00:48:48,079
and then a couple of other friends, and then my

1160
00:48:48,199 --> 00:48:54,639
cousin who religiously invested his life into this game. Holy crap,

1161
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,960
It's it's been fun to hop into other people's worlds

1162
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,559
and partake in what they've built, and then joined for

1163
00:49:01,559 --> 00:49:03,760
a few of those quests. It's not been one that

1164
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,559
I was ever ever able to really just kind of

1165
00:49:05,559 --> 00:49:07,159
like sit down and commit into my own world and

1166
00:49:07,159 --> 00:49:09,199
build and whatnot. And I'm totally okay with that because

1167
00:49:09,199 --> 00:49:10,719
I had fun doing some of the building and just

1168
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,760
helping other people build up their worlds and just to

1169
00:49:13,039 --> 00:49:15,599
fuck around. It is a grindy game, yeah, And so

1170
00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:18,480
I'm okay to be helping other people build up their

1171
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,679
worlds and and all that kind of stuff. Like usually

1172
00:49:21,679 --> 00:49:24,000
when I'd hop on with my cousin, he'd lent me

1173
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,639
some of his like extra armor and gear and whatnot

1174
00:49:26,679 --> 00:49:29,639
that we go around do some stuff and check out

1175
00:49:29,679 --> 00:49:33,559
and explore and and whatnot. But it's yeah, it's the

1176
00:49:33,639 --> 00:49:36,079
first one. Was it was something special when it first

1177
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:37,880
came out because just to have that kind of game

1178
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,440
at that kind of ground perspective level, and just the

1179
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,599
spiders and just I remember when the preview first came

1180
00:49:43,639 --> 00:49:45,800
out and walking around thought, well, this world is really

1181
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,239
really cool, and that was just like the demo was

1182
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:53,199
like an hour long thing when that first came out. Yeah,

1183
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,440
so I'll never forget it because that was that was

1184
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,079
a lot of fun, just doing like the one intro

1185
00:49:57,199 --> 00:50:00,800
mission on there. But yeah, there's there's an nice simplicity

1186
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,800
to it, and it's really fun just trying to go

1187
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,039
and collect things and do things all around in this

1188
00:50:05,159 --> 00:50:09,000
in this world. But the ability of mounts in the

1189
00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:11,920
sequel is very very cool. That's awesome and I definitely

1190
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,440
had like a bit of like a gasp when it

1191
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,760
was like, wow, you can actually ride spiders and get

1192
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,360
into like spider battles. That was pretty cool. Uh, And

1193
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,440
I don't remember there being like there's a variety of

1194
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:27,880
new not bosses, but just enemy variants in here, like

1195
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,559
the praying mantis, and then you got there was like

1196
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:35,079
a butterfly kind of thing that looked like the scorpion caterpillar.

1197
00:50:35,079 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't remember seeing those in the first game.

1198
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's a whole bunch of new uh that

1199
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:42,599
going on, which is great. I know next to nothing

1200
00:50:42,599 --> 00:50:45,000
about the main story, so it was cool. They opened

1201
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:47,360
up this trailer with like, how what was going on

1202
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:47,639
with this?

1203
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:48,199
Speaker 1: I never saw?

1204
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think that that's it's it's cool. It's

1205
00:50:53,199 --> 00:50:56,480
like an alternative reverse like Honey, I shrunk the kids

1206
00:50:56,559 --> 00:50:58,719
kind of a thing with this deranged scientist shrinks them

1207
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:03,320
and then like it's now they're vanished from the celebratory

1208
00:51:03,559 --> 00:51:06,599
park statue thing that's going on, And yeah, I don't know,

1209
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:09,039
it's just I found that to be kind of an

1210
00:51:09,039 --> 00:51:12,519
engaging narrative now seeing it on this trailer, So it's

1211
00:51:12,559 --> 00:51:14,440
I think it looks awesome and I hope this picks

1212
00:51:14,519 --> 00:51:16,400
up a lot of speed and gets some more people

1213
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,119
in there. It's not doing a preview, right, it's just

1214
00:51:18,199 --> 00:51:19,079
dropping the whole game.

1215
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: No, it's preview.

1216
00:51:20,679 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 3: Well, they're doing a preview for it.

1217
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 2: I'll do it again, yeah, marked the first time. Why

1218
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:26,800
not run it back, you know?

1219
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they have definitely built that game alongside

1220
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,079
the community, and yeah, I guess it did work for them.

1221
00:51:32,119 --> 00:51:34,599
So and that's how they're able to get it out

1222
00:51:34,599 --> 00:51:37,519
this soon, I suppose, because it's not finished yet. They

1223
00:51:37,519 --> 00:51:40,960
said that the current portion though that they have in

1224
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,599
there is the same size as the first game, and

1225
00:51:43,639 --> 00:51:46,000
then they're gonna add two more zones, so it's gonna

1226
00:51:46,039 --> 00:51:48,119
be like three times the size overall. Because at the

1227
00:51:48,199 --> 00:51:49,800
end of the Other Worlds thing, they had like a

1228
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,079
further deep dive on Grounded to a little bit as well.

1229
00:51:53,159 --> 00:51:54,599
So I don't know if you caught that part Taylor

1230
00:51:54,599 --> 00:51:57,559
where they shared a little bit more information, but uh, yeah,

1231
00:51:57,599 --> 00:52:00,000
so it's gonna be I mean that game was already Hue,

1232
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,320
which took so long to traverse, like just I don't know,

1233
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,840
even in like the opening sections like let alone before

1234
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,400
you like get access to the upper park or the

1235
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,320
upper backyard area and all that. So yeah, we'll see

1236
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:16,039
what happens there. But definitely a big surprise. And another

1237
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:21,519
game is called alf Athelion Athelian Athlaon. It's a game

1238
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:25,159
but I don't nod, which I think looks really cool.

1239
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,559
I like this. You know, it's like a space sci

1240
00:52:28,599 --> 00:52:31,360
fi setting, you know, spaceship crashes on like a snowy,

1241
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,079
icy planet. This kind of seems very much like Jusan,

1242
00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:37,000
which is one of their previous games that they made,

1243
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:42,360
where it's very like experimental, experimental, and very movement focus.

1244
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,760
You're just kind of traversing through a world, exploring figure

1245
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,480
out what's going on, kind of going around this snowy planet,

1246
00:52:47,519 --> 00:52:49,960
but then also through this giant crash ship and finding

1247
00:52:50,199 --> 00:52:52,679
things and probably trying to find any survivors things like that.

1248
00:52:53,159 --> 00:52:55,119
This is like, right up my alley. I'm excited for this.

1249
00:52:55,159 --> 00:52:57,320
I think this looks like fun. You just cruise around

1250
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,000
in this cool world. There's definitely a little hint, specially

1251
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:01,840
the end of the trailer, of like, I don't know,

1252
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,880
some weird, freaky stuff going on, although it seems pretty

1253
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,079
grounded for the most part, considering it's a space game,

1254
00:53:08,119 --> 00:53:10,119
so I don't know. I'm pretty excited for this one.

1255
00:53:10,119 --> 00:53:11,880
I think this is another another good surprise for me.

1256
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,840
This is coming out next year?

1257
00:53:14,639 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 2: Did this one? Do you recall if it said it

1258
00:53:16,519 --> 00:53:18,119
was a Games Past one or not.

1259
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: You'll have to look that up. Although you saw it.

1260
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,880
Their last game was okay, so I think they're kind

1261
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,519
of in that game pass bag again.

1262
00:53:26,119 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, if this one has me, this is a word

1263
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,519
of mouth one because I like it, because this one

1264
00:53:30,519 --> 00:53:33,039
of those like you mentioned some fun things about the

1265
00:53:34,199 --> 00:53:36,440
potential gameplay of it. But for me, this looks to

1266
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,920
be like a really cool story focused based thing, which

1267
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,519
always what Also it's nowhere near It's a very different genre,

1268
00:53:43,639 --> 00:53:47,719
different feel, but it reminds me go, what the hell

1269
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,880
blay we just reviewed earlier this year, right where that's

1270
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,960
the thing, the thing where those games aren't that long

1271
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,320
but they have a story. Then also that way different mechanics.

1272
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,800
But I'm always down for if there's a great story

1273
00:53:59,039 --> 00:54:00,880
and it is like, oh yeah, maybe you know, I

1274
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,760
don't know, ten to fifteen hours something like that, a

1275
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:06,039
little more small, smaller even Yeah, so yeah that but

1276
00:54:06,119 --> 00:54:08,360
this will be kind of word of mouth, probably by

1277
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,679
critics before and if it's on Games Past easy, So

1278
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,480
if it is and word of mouth, then I can

1279
00:54:12,519 --> 00:54:15,119
see myself tried out because I was intrigued, you know,

1280
00:54:15,199 --> 00:54:17,280
fun little tease at the end with some guys seeing something.

1281
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,960
But it's like, is it aliens or is it like

1282
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:25,360
even the way that creature sounded, it sound almost electronic

1283
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:26,480
in a way, so I don't.

1284
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 3: Know if it's like some sort of tech glowing too.

1285
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's where it's like it's started off aliens,

1286
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,159
but I felt like, is there more like a you know,

1287
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,800
some sort of different type of extra asteral bean? I don't.

1288
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,719
I don't know that That's why I like. But also

1289
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,199
I like characters being secluded in situations, so yeah, this

1290
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,639
one has my interest. I'm going to keep an eye

1291
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:44,920
on it.

1292
00:54:45,039 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, this one, it looked it looked pretty awesome. Actually,

1293
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,880
I think that right off the top of the story

1294
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,320
was definitely engaging and I was super super driving with

1295
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:01,719
it and just find out to this this character is

1296
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,719
what was his name, Peter or something like that, like

1297
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,599
I'll find you Peter, I'll find you Henry.

1298
00:55:05,639 --> 00:55:06,679
Speaker 1: I didn't catch them whatever.

1299
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 3: Whatever objective is to make my notes, the idea of

1300
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,039
having say this this alien thrown into the mix too,

1301
00:55:14,119 --> 00:55:16,039
I'm down for that. So it looks like it's a

1302
00:55:16,039 --> 00:55:19,039
good time exploring this alien ice world.

1303
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,159
Speaker 1: Nice one of my another highlight for me. There's quite

1304
00:55:23,159 --> 00:55:25,039
a few of these, but one of the weirdest things

1305
00:55:25,039 --> 00:55:28,039
in this showcase was a game called There Are No

1306
00:55:28,119 --> 00:55:32,800
Ghosts at the Grand coming out twenty twenty six. Really

1307
00:55:33,079 --> 00:55:35,840
weird hybrid of genres. It starts out and it's like you

1308
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,719
are inheriting this hotel and so you're kind of having

1309
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,599
to rebuild it in what seems like very much a

1310
00:55:40,599 --> 00:55:42,800
simulatory kind of way, Like you know, there's like spray

1311
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,079
print similar power wash simulator, seems like that kind of

1312
00:55:46,119 --> 00:55:48,400
gameplay loop, but with like a little more machine to

1313
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,840
a little more triple a sort of feeling to it.

1314
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,400
But then like this guy comes out and starts doing

1315
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,760
like a musical number and like kind of like a

1316
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,760
rosta vibe sort of thing. Really odd, and then it

1317
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,880
turns out you're like not just right in this hotel,

1318
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,960
but like this whole city, this whole town, and then

1319
00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:06,480
it gets into like some love crafty and horror at

1320
00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:09,960
certain points, we get into some other musical numbers. So

1321
00:56:10,039 --> 00:56:12,840
I don't know, just a weird mixed match of genres

1322
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,639
that I can't say I've ever seen before, and because that,

1323
00:56:14,639 --> 00:56:16,599
I'm so excited for it. I don't know what the

1324
00:56:16,599 --> 00:56:18,880
heck of this game is, but like I really really

1325
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,039
want to find out, So I don't know. I think this.

1326
00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:23,480
I just love when I see a game that I

1327
00:56:23,519 --> 00:56:26,320
feel like has never existed before and one that's super

1328
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,480
memorable in a way. I'll probably forget the name of

1329
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,599
this game because it just has a weird title, but

1330
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,039
I won't forget that guy dancing in the hotel and

1331
00:56:33,079 --> 00:56:35,159
be like, what the fuck am I watching here? So

1332
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,480
consider me intrigued about this one. I think this looks

1333
00:56:38,519 --> 00:56:42,440
like a freaky game, and I'm into it looks interesting.

1334
00:56:42,559 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 2: I think I'll wait to hear your thoughts. It didn't

1335
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,719
and didn't pull me in. It made me want another

1336
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,519
Luigi's Mansion because the whole set of like, oh, your

1337
00:56:49,559 --> 00:56:51,239
father used to do this for us, and I'm sure

1338
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,639
you could help us, and so so just that idea

1339
00:56:53,679 --> 00:56:56,280
of a big match or something like that with ghosts.

1340
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,760
But yeah, no, it didn't look bad, but I was okay,

1341
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,679
I it wasn't didn't make my list, but definitely you

1342
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:03,960
looked unique, so.

1343
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: M yeah, absolutely, uh, there was these kind of been

1344
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,960
sprinkled throughout, but I bundled them here age of mythology

1345
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,920
re told get in new DLC. I'll just scrolls onlines

1346
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,880
getting an update of course, probably seventy six. You can

1347
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,639
know fish see if thieves, we mean you can you

1348
00:57:19,679 --> 00:57:22,920
can smuggle things now, so you know. Of course those

1349
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,079
things always got to show up. Well, they don't have to,

1350
00:57:25,159 --> 00:57:29,000
but they like to show them up here updates they.

1351
00:57:28,079 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 2: Don't know at this point. I don't think they need to.

1352
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,159
Speaker 1: They were all pretty quick at least I think this

1353
00:57:32,239 --> 00:57:34,760
is maybe the highlight here. They breathed them pretty quickly.

1354
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 2: These used to be a lot longer, so I'll give

1355
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,239
them that. It is quick and stuff. It's just kind

1356
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,440
of funny, like even I agree to you you can

1357
00:57:40,519 --> 00:57:45,480
see a Thieves in twenty twenty five, Mike, I guess

1358
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,079
so you know, you know people are still playing it,

1359
00:57:47,079 --> 00:57:49,039
but just it feels it feels like the people if

1360
00:57:49,039 --> 00:57:52,039
there's people still playing that constantly, they'll be in tuned

1361
00:57:52,079 --> 00:57:55,199
to the updates, you know, like when when when we

1362
00:57:55,239 --> 00:57:57,280
game gets updates? Like I'm not saying that conference with it,

1363
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,719
but me and I supposed know right away, like oh

1364
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,840
does that does that? Like the people that are playing it.

1365
00:58:01,039 --> 00:58:02,840
They know the updates in the discord.

1366
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:03,679
Speaker 1: They're in the subreddit.

1367
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, now see he's probably gone everybody

1368
00:58:07,639 --> 00:58:09,639
they can get, but hey, good for them. Keep pumping out.

1369
00:58:09,719 --> 00:58:12,199
Speaker 3: So I will be probably going back to it because

1370
00:58:12,199 --> 00:58:14,599
my one friend we've played off and on, and my

1371
00:58:14,679 --> 00:58:17,360
cousin against same when the does grounded. He loves See

1372
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,679
the Thieves. He's playing all the time. But my one

1373
00:58:19,719 --> 00:58:22,119
friend that I've played off and on with, he watched

1374
00:58:22,159 --> 00:58:24,960
the showcase and we're talking about it and he's like, yeah,

1375
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,400
you know, maybe See the Thieves is like, okay, well,

1376
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,599
I'll I'll be there because it's fun to pop on

1377
00:58:29,719 --> 00:58:32,320
and just play like one night, just get in there

1378
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,920
for a few hours and just muck around.

1379
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:35,079
Speaker 1: So I was told.

1380
00:58:35,119 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 2: And then we went on the fucking Piets Caribbean mission.

1381
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,000
We were stuck in a place for like a whole

1382
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,320
hour trying to figure it out, and.

1383
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,639
Speaker 3: That was a hell of a fucking mission underwater with

1384
00:58:43,719 --> 00:58:45,239
the mermaids and all that ship.

1385
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 2: I would be down. I'd be down for us one

1386
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,559
time to sink up and run it back and try

1387
00:58:49,559 --> 00:58:51,159
and have a more pot because I liked for them.

1388
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,559
Speaker 1: That's why I have the Showcase. Remind you that exist, Suggs.

1389
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,280
I just remember just that afterwards and follow seventy six,

1390
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,239
we can have a grand old night together and we

1391
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,519
can like tame a cat and elder scrolls online.

1392
00:59:04,519 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what.

1393
00:59:05,159 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what was about that.

1394
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,239
Speaker 2: My power is gonna go out at that point. But

1395
00:59:08,679 --> 00:59:11,599
see if thieves. Uh yeah, we just had a souring

1396
00:59:11,599 --> 00:59:12,960
experience at the end. But I would be down to,

1397
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:15,960
you know, drink out me hearties. You ho one more night,

1398
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,360
you know, a nice summary night. So maybe put on

1399
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:19,239
the calendar or something.

1400
00:59:19,719 --> 00:59:23,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, Travis, I seem to remember you liking the look

1401
00:59:23,639 --> 00:59:25,159
of the first planet of Lana, but I don't know

1402
00:59:25,159 --> 00:59:26,840
if you forgot around to it. Am I making that up?

1403
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:27,239
Or is that?

1404
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:27,559
Speaker 3: Uh?

1405
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:28,519
Speaker 2: Is that?

1406
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:30,679
Speaker 1: Is that fiction or non fiction?

1407
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,079
Speaker 2: Lana? Let me pull it up here.

1408
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: It's getting a sequel planning a lot of two children

1409
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,079
of the Leaf coming out next year.

1410
00:59:37,119 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1411
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 2: I never played by like the art style there's similar

1412
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,480
like uh kind of at times looks like not No

1413
00:59:42,599 --> 00:59:44,519
Man's Sky the game, but like the box are and

1414
00:59:44,519 --> 00:59:46,800
stuff like that. But uh no, it must have a

1415
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,599
good trail of that first one. Never got around to

1416
00:59:48,639 --> 00:59:51,239
playing it. Though, so I forgot exist still now.

1417
00:59:51,559 --> 00:59:53,639
Speaker 1: The first one was a game pass game. I played

1418
00:59:53,679 --> 00:59:55,840
for maybe three or four hours and I got stuck

1419
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:57,800
on a puzzle and then just never came back to it. It

1420
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,079
was it was decent kind of spreads. See, yeah, I'm

1421
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:03,840
surprised to see another one here, but you know, for

1422
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,480
that audience, cool getting that sequel. And then there was

1423
01:00:07,519 --> 01:00:09,480
a few games in here that kind of just reminders

1424
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,360
of upcoming games. So Ninja guid in four October twenty

1425
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,519
fourth first release. I don't think that was known. Actually,

1426
01:00:14,599 --> 01:00:16,880
I think we knew fall, but there an official date.

1427
01:00:17,719 --> 01:00:20,079
Gears reloaded August twenty six. We already knew about that,

1428
01:00:20,079 --> 01:00:22,920
but just reminder. And then Tony Hawk three plus four

1429
01:00:23,079 --> 01:00:26,320
July eleventh, reminder about that as well, and then they

1430
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,039
showed off. They show up a few things with that one.

1431
01:00:28,079 --> 01:00:30,280
But you know, doom Guy and the TM and T

1432
01:00:31,159 --> 01:00:33,719
characters in there, can't wait plays Doom Guy. I'm gonna

1433
01:00:34,039 --> 01:00:36,960
definitely do that super fun. So yeah, I just remind

1434
01:00:37,039 --> 01:00:38,760
us for all those games coming out, and they.

1435
01:00:38,679 --> 01:00:40,679
Speaker 2: Should do a lot more of those. Get like get

1436
01:00:40,719 --> 01:00:44,599
more IP fun characters like in those type of games.

1437
01:00:44,599 --> 01:00:45,280
I think that helps.

1438
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, because I think Master Chief was in there

1439
01:00:47,639 --> 01:00:48,880
at one point, Is that right, Taylor?

1440
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 3: Am I making I don't recall.

1441
01:00:51,719 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: I know Spider Man's been in there before.

1442
01:00:53,639 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 2: There's been all sorts of freaks.

1443
01:00:54,880 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, Travis, you are the foremost ex part

1444
01:01:00,639 --> 01:01:03,760
of the show Invincible. On course, what do you think

1445
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,239
of this fighting game that we saw here?

1446
01:01:06,239 --> 01:01:08,599
Speaker 2: Doesn't look bad? It's funny that they said, I I

1447
01:01:08,599 --> 01:01:10,199
don't think I'm wrong with that's like a three v

1448
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:15,960
three yeah, which just is so funny. Yeah. I found

1449
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,880
when they saw that, they're like, ah, fuck, you know,

1450
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,000
we had heard this game was working.

1451
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,199
Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing, though it isn't for

1452
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:25,679
like overwhelming for a lot of people pay four characters now.

1453
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,119
Speaker 2: Fuck, I just think it's similar and the bigger brand,

1454
01:01:28,159 --> 01:01:30,519
So I think they go, oh and it looks nicer

1455
01:01:30,599 --> 01:01:32,480
in my opinion, I get what they're going for here,

1456
01:01:32,639 --> 01:01:36,239
shell shaded very you know at times some Spider vers

1457
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,800
isms in there, but and like a comic book off

1458
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,599
se uh. Yeah. I we had heard for a while

1459
01:01:42,679 --> 01:01:44,719
and maybe this is not the game, but we'd heard

1460
01:01:44,719 --> 01:01:46,400
for a while that there was an Invincible game in

1461
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:47,079
the works.

1462
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: And the second yeah, that was like last year that

1463
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:50,440
was announced.

1464
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,039
Speaker 2: I think because they're also working like a live action

1465
01:01:53,159 --> 01:01:55,239
movie like they're doing, I think that brand still pulls

1466
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,760
numbers for Amazon, even though I think the show is

1467
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,559
a bit more uh La season better, But for a

1468
01:02:00,559 --> 01:02:04,119
while it's a bit divisive. The second years flying and

1469
01:02:04,159 --> 01:02:06,559
then when his dad attacked him, and just the way

1470
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:08,559
that it's in the show, I'm like, oh no, it's

1471
01:02:08,599 --> 01:02:11,079
a fighting game, like it just didn't fit with anything

1472
01:02:11,119 --> 01:02:14,000
that's ever happened in the show before. And that's exactly

1473
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,320
what it is. And don't get me wrong, I like

1474
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,000
a good old fighting game here and there we talked

1475
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,480
about that where I think I'm the same with Dylan

1476
01:02:19,519 --> 01:02:22,159
where I you know, though I like love Worlal Kombat,

1477
01:02:22,199 --> 01:02:24,800
it's not it's not ever the top tier as far

1478
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,119
as oh I gotta play every type of game like this,

1479
01:02:27,239 --> 01:02:29,599
there's certain times Okay, I'm in for a side scroller

1480
01:02:29,679 --> 01:02:32,719
fighting and then I'm good for a year or two,

1481
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,920
you know, And again, if I'm gonna do this, I

1482
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,360
never got around of buying the new Moratal Combat. I'd

1483
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:41,159
be doing that, and yeah, I don't know, I get

1484
01:02:41,159 --> 01:02:45,440
it because Invincible is known for heroes just having mega

1485
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,719
fights all time. Like the Invincible world is the worst

1486
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,559
place to live because your buildings are constantly being torn apart.

1487
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,719
There's death all around, like they're the death count is

1488
01:02:54,719 --> 01:02:59,239
by the thousands daily in that world. Sometimes it is awful.

1489
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,760
So I get the idea of construction, destruction and throwing

1490
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,880
everybody around and blood and guts, but that's not what

1491
01:03:06,039 --> 01:03:10,159
I I don't think probably small audience, but I feel

1492
01:03:10,199 --> 01:03:12,280
like they'd want some of that incorporated into a game

1493
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,639
where it is, you know, as annoying as it is

1494
01:03:14,639 --> 01:03:17,199
because there's so many like three D you know, third

1495
01:03:17,199 --> 01:03:21,199
person open world explores superhero games. That's kind of what

1496
01:03:21,239 --> 01:03:23,239
we want, especially in a world where we still don't

1497
01:03:23,239 --> 01:03:27,360
have a Superman game. There's no you know, superhero game

1498
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,360
where you just go up and you fly around. The

1499
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,960
closest was maybe I don't know, iron Man back in

1500
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,000
the day on the Xbox.

1501
01:03:33,079 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: You know, the ball has done that, right.

1502
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,599
Speaker 2: I don't care. This is a superhero. That's someone else,

1503
01:03:37,639 --> 01:03:41,800
that's anime, you know, fair yeah, just in my mindset, right.

1504
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,480
But it's like even Avengers, like when we play that,

1505
01:03:43,519 --> 01:03:45,480
you can figure that there's a flying character, but It's

1506
01:03:45,519 --> 01:03:48,360
like little spurts of a map, So not what I

1507
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,880
wanted for an invincible game. The game looks fine enough,

1508
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,360
but I don't think i'll ever play this unless be

1509
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,880
like this is the like, unless this comes out, Marble

1510
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,719
Tokens comes out and they're like, oh man, this is

1511
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,239
actually the real superherot it. But I don't think that's

1512
01:04:00,239 --> 01:04:03,519
gonna happen. So No, didn't didn't sell me here, unfortunately.

1513
01:04:03,559 --> 01:04:06,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, Taylor, did you see the trailer for Marvel

1514
01:04:06,679 --> 01:04:08,840
tokon from somewhere game Fest?

1515
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 3: No, I didn't see that. You mentioned it, Travis, and

1516
01:04:13,119 --> 01:04:16,199
I went to you told me and you when you

1517
01:04:16,199 --> 01:04:18,079
told me about it. I tried googling it. I could

1518
01:04:18,159 --> 01:04:21,519
not find it within the first like twenty five minutes

1519
01:04:21,559 --> 01:04:22,519
of when it was mentioned.

1520
01:04:22,519 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: Twenty five minutes. You couldn't find Marvel find it, couldn't.

1521
01:04:26,599 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 2: Before on the title before. I have receipts that I

1522
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,920
literally just copied the YouTube trailer name and posted.

1523
01:04:35,559 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 3: That it wasn't all caps, so.

1524
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't okay, I didn't spell it at all because

1525
01:04:40,119 --> 01:04:42,239
that's insane to me. I think this is a bad

1526
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:43,920
search engine. I think your phone's hacked you.

1527
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: I think Madison might be a yeah, blocking site.

1528
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 3: He's got the preal controls on.

1529
01:04:49,199 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, no more Marvel.

1530
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 2: He talks enough Marvel.

1531
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:57,239
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. How don't we take our last break of

1532
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,639
the show. Just a few more quick things here will

1533
01:04:59,639 --> 01:05:05,400
be back. All right, we're back. You know, if you

1534
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,760
wanted to play some old jerrpgs, Xbox has got you covered.

1535
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:12,360
You can play Persona for revival. You can play Final

1536
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,440
Fantasies some remake integrate this winter. You can play Final

1537
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:19,079
Fantasy sixteen today. So there you go. If you want

1538
01:05:19,119 --> 01:05:21,920
to play some old JRPGs, locked and loaded, good to go.

1539
01:05:23,119 --> 01:05:25,760
Next up was Double Fine, who may most recently made

1540
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:29,159
the Psychonauts too. They have a new game called Keeper

1541
01:05:29,239 --> 01:05:32,639
coming to October seventeenth, which I think similar to Obsidi

1542
01:05:32,679 --> 01:05:35,000
and how they have like an Avowed or other Worlds,

1543
01:05:35,039 --> 01:05:36,800
which is like their big flagship thing, But then they

1544
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:40,119
have smaller things like a Grounded or a Pentiment that

1545
01:05:40,119 --> 01:05:42,320
they can release that has like probably a shorter development time,

1546
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,639
lower budget, and probably release in between bigger titles. I

1547
01:05:45,719 --> 01:05:47,159
kind of feel like that's what's going on here with

1548
01:05:47,199 --> 01:05:49,920
Double Fine. This is a game where you control a

1549
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:54,599
walking lighthouse a little light platform in sequence. I think

1550
01:05:54,599 --> 01:05:56,480
what surprised me is there's doesn't seem to be much

1551
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,480
like character or writing in this, which I feel like

1552
01:05:58,559 --> 01:06:01,320
is a big double finding kind of thing, funny game

1553
01:06:01,679 --> 01:06:04,280
like you know, voice like known voice actors things. So

1554
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,280
I was kind of surprised about that. This is a

1555
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,719
weird game, and I like weird, but it almost wasn't

1556
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,360
weird enough. Like I feel like the initial premise is weird,

1557
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,480
but then nothing else was. Everything else is kind of

1558
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:16,840
by the books. You just kind of walk around a

1559
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,519
little bit. So I mean, I'll I'll play's game pass.

1560
01:06:19,559 --> 01:06:22,320
I'll check this game out once again. Busy month, especially

1561
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,960
for Xbox. Uh, but yeah, really very unexpected. I never

1562
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,079
wore a predicted. Oh yeah, Double Find is gonna make

1563
01:06:28,079 --> 01:06:31,920
a game where you play as a anthromorphic lighthouse. That's

1564
01:06:32,119 --> 01:06:35,519
pretty unconventional. I guess I could say.

1565
01:06:36,639 --> 01:06:39,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Psychonauts num were done for me, and same thing here,

1566
01:06:40,039 --> 01:06:43,960
just hasn't uh hadn't flowed my boat yet. So but

1567
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:45,880
you know, I hope will in the Foe was in

1568
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:46,519
there somewhere.

1569
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: That'd be cool. Yeah, that'd be cool. Good reference. Uh, Taylor,

1570
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:52,840
I have you ever played Psycho nauts.

1571
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,199
Speaker 3: I don't think you have right, that's a negative.

1572
01:06:57,039 --> 01:06:57,559
Speaker 1: Interesting.

1573
01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:58,119
Speaker 3: Uh.

1574
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Did you play Brutal Legend back in the day?

1575
01:07:01,719 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 3: Uh No, but I wanted to that was Uh.

1576
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: You should do a retro for Brutal Legend.

1577
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 3: Got I would love to. I'd love to you because

1578
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:09,880
Jack Black he played the main character.

1579
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: Right, sure?

1580
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:15,119
Speaker 2: Did you're in Powers that day as well?

1581
01:07:16,119 --> 01:07:18,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're my My PS five hard drive is corrupted.

1582
01:07:18,599 --> 01:07:20,480
You can use that one now whenever you need to

1583
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,880
get out my cable.

1584
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 2: I'm still waiting on it.

1585
01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1586
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:25,519
Speaker 2: Uh.

1587
01:07:25,559 --> 01:07:27,199
Speaker 1: And then as Travis mission on the top of the

1588
01:07:27,199 --> 01:07:31,079
show Black Op seven, uh closed out this uh this

1589
01:07:31,199 --> 01:07:33,199
bad boy here, which yeah, I mean for the first

1590
01:07:33,239 --> 01:07:34,920
like two or three minutes of the Siegi trailer, I

1591
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,079
did not think it was call of duty. And then

1592
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,480
out of nowhere, like the guy had a gun and

1593
01:07:39,519 --> 01:07:40,920
had a call of dudey looking suit, and then I

1594
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:42,519
was like, oh, I guess this is call of Dude.

1595
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:45,239
You had the guy from Heroes in there, Melo something

1596
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:51,199
or rather he's h yeah Vintanello that guy. Uh. I mean,

1597
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,239
you know it's getting past. I might check out the campaign,

1598
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:54,719
but even like the one that came out last year,

1599
01:07:54,719 --> 01:07:56,159
I played, like, you know, two or three missions. I

1600
01:07:56,159 --> 01:07:57,800
was like, ah, then I got to like an open world,

1601
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,000
and I'm like, I'm out. I'm excited for zombies because

1602
01:08:00,079 --> 01:08:02,639
like zombies. But I don't know, I'm just not I

1603
01:08:02,639 --> 01:08:04,599
don't I don't need these new Call Duty things. But

1604
01:08:04,719 --> 01:08:06,639
I don't know. You guys are are jam and Call

1605
01:08:06,639 --> 01:08:08,239
of Duty all the time. So what do you think

1606
01:08:08,239 --> 01:08:11,119
about this, uh Black Off seven announcement?

1607
01:08:11,519 --> 01:08:13,639
Speaker 2: Are we jamming called the all time? You know?

1608
01:08:14,119 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 3: Taylor is No, We're we're playing so as Battlefront too.

1609
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:18,399
That's what's that?

1610
01:08:19,079 --> 01:08:20,560
Speaker 1: What is the most played game for either of you

1611
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,119
in the last year we call of Duty? Well, there

1612
01:08:23,159 --> 01:08:23,840
you go, Travis.

1613
01:08:24,119 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 3: For you, it's called Diddy Travis.

1614
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 2: No, you want to Jones, but no, it's GM mode

1615
01:08:30,159 --> 01:08:32,319
for sure. You look at my hour when that starts.

1616
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,159
That starts in March, but I March.

1617
01:08:35,039 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: It was number two.

1618
01:08:36,239 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: It's number two, would be called yes, it would be

1619
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:38,600
caught yeah. Yeah.

1620
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,560
Speaker 1: But I'm just just no, I don't think it's that

1621
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,640
unfair to say you guys are playing called Duty time.

1622
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just mean like in the sense that I

1623
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,239
think it was the last time you played called doty

1624
01:08:46,279 --> 01:08:47,439
Taylor I am played.

1625
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:49,560
Speaker 3: It would have been with you, the last time would

1626
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:49,960
have been with you.

1627
01:08:50,399 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 2: It was like a couple I feel like it's a

1628
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,039
couple months ago now yeah, so have to one more run.

1629
01:08:55,119 --> 01:08:57,840
But yeah, for me, it's and even then I'm that's

1630
01:08:57,880 --> 01:08:59,840
where I guess where I more actually take myself off

1631
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:02,319
the conversation. I have played a Call Duty game since

1632
01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:05,479
Call Duty Ghost, I've played war Zone and I won't

1633
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,600
touch this at all. I don't I get don't get

1634
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,000
me wrong, I get it cause it's it's tough when

1635
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,239
we talk about you know, I feel like a reference

1636
01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:15,159
this movie once a side quest. I'm gonna do it again,

1637
01:09:15,199 --> 01:09:18,520
you know, God of War twenty eighteen. That's like the

1638
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,079
sign for like how do you revitalize a franchise by

1639
01:09:21,159 --> 01:09:23,600
keeping the old and then bringing the new. And I

1640
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,039
can get as far as Call Duty like this trailer right,

1641
01:09:26,159 --> 01:09:28,760
like maybe appealing different people, showing hey, this campaign is

1642
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,079
gonna get a bit more wild. I'd heard the last

1643
01:09:31,119 --> 01:09:33,119
Black Ops was getting pretty wild too, but this seems

1644
01:09:33,199 --> 01:09:36,000
on a different level, like it's evoking some that remedy,

1645
01:09:36,119 --> 01:09:38,520
Like I thought it was not Alan Wake, but something

1646
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,760
where it's like, oh, this is going to be Xboxes

1647
01:09:41,239 --> 01:09:43,199
Alan Wake, like he looks like a mile all right,

1648
01:09:43,279 --> 01:09:47,119
But that's where I think it's It's tough because it

1649
01:09:47,239 --> 01:09:50,359
goes so far to that route where okay, that might

1650
01:09:50,359 --> 01:09:51,960
be with a campaign's gonna be. But I still think

1651
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,039
that the Day is going to be a Call Duty game.

1652
01:09:54,039 --> 01:09:55,319
I don't think it's going to get to an Alan

1653
01:09:55,399 --> 01:09:57,760
Wake or a control which I've not played situation where

1654
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,520
you're playing these wild levels on multiple fronts. So I

1655
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,520
think for me, it just felt like it, especially the

1656
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,439
way Phil set up and because it's the one more thing.

1657
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,000
One more thing to me is either three things. It's

1658
01:10:10,039 --> 01:10:12,520
a very anticipated game, like a fable that's been cooking

1659
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,319
for a while. It's a surprise announcement, or it's a

1660
01:10:15,359 --> 01:10:17,760
new ip from like a big dev where it's like hey,

1661
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,399
like Starfield was right where it's like, hey, we know

1662
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,159
they're working on this. This is finally they're working a Hey,

1663
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,039
the new Call of Duty.

1664
01:10:25,359 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 1: No, I don't put there from this showcase.

1665
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 2: It sounds bad. Maybe people would disagree with me, but

1666
01:10:31,159 --> 01:10:33,119
to prop it up, I would have put the ally there.

1667
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,079
It's not a game, but it's a piece of hardware,

1668
01:10:35,119 --> 01:10:36,960
and I could justify that of hey, they're doing a

1669
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,640
big push. They want you to have this hardware. They

1670
01:10:40,239 --> 01:10:42,920
do all this market on this is an Xbox. That

1671
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,039
would be to me, the ideas you talk about what

1672
01:10:45,159 --> 01:10:46,520
it's gonna be. Maybe you give it a little bit

1673
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,720
more time, but that's what I would have done. Or

1674
01:10:49,239 --> 01:10:52,319
you do the Outer World's trailer and that leads directly

1675
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,680
into the fuller long hour direct where it's just like

1676
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:57,239
a one to one. But yeah, to me would have

1677
01:10:57,239 --> 01:10:58,800
been the ally just be like, yeah, this is our tech.

1678
01:10:59,039 --> 01:11:01,680
We fully believe it. You know, we don't got flops

1679
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,319
in here, but we got this, this and this. But

1680
01:11:04,079 --> 01:11:06,880
this just felt like it took that down for a

1681
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:08,279
lot of people. And I feel like they kind of

1682
01:11:08,319 --> 01:11:11,079
set themselves up. And yeah, I won't plan any call

1683
01:11:11,199 --> 01:11:14,520
duty games probably ever again, to be honest, other than

1684
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,800
wars on war Zone. But just like Call Duty proper

1685
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,680
I've and my last point for TiO goes, it's just

1686
01:11:20,119 --> 01:11:22,560
I feel like call duty is what call duty is.

1687
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,079
I don't think that's a wheel that needs to be reinvented.

1688
01:11:25,239 --> 01:11:28,560
It's just like a Madden Now or NHL where it's

1689
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,920
just you just pump them out a FIFA. You just

1690
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:32,880
pump up a foresa, you just pump them out, little

1691
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,319
variations here and there, you change it because I don't

1692
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,399
think like same thing this, this type of trailer should

1693
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,000
appeal to someone like me, But it hits all the

1694
01:11:41,079 --> 01:11:44,000
traps systems. It's being trippy, it's weird, has fucking nine

1695
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,039
inch Nails music at the end. But I'm just like

1696
01:11:46,199 --> 01:11:48,479
a it's call duty. And maybe if Taylor are playing

1697
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:51,560
and say no, this is actually super different and weird

1698
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,079
and out there, But like in the sense of how

1699
01:11:54,119 --> 01:11:57,119
you play, I just think it's a wheel that you

1700
01:11:57,279 --> 01:12:00,439
can't change and it's just gonna roll. It's it's it

1701
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,640
can't fly, can't go on water. It's meant for the ground.

1702
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,520
And that's okay. Make your wheel and make your money.

1703
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,520
That's okay. Just give us war Zone and put John

1704
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,760
Wick as a fucking skin already. You know, Taylor, you

1705
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:13,399
told me all that arena.

1706
01:12:13,079 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 3: It's coming is Oh, yeah, I believe he's coming.

1707
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,239
Speaker 2: He's you believe, just like you believed Indian Jones and

1708
01:12:18,279 --> 01:12:20,399
Captain America are coming. And I got Dick all for that,

1709
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,159
So give me John Wick. But yeah, no, I thought

1710
01:12:23,199 --> 01:12:26,000
this was one of the worst conferences ending ever in

1711
01:12:26,119 --> 01:12:28,399
the three history ever ever.

1712
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to think because it didn't last year,

1713
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:33,399
because I feel like they've been doing this for that.

1714
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,680
The end of the showcase they dedicate like here, you know,

1715
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:37,399
stay tuned at the end of the showcase for twenty

1716
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,800
minutes on so and so Game and Outer Worlds? Was

1717
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:41,359
that this year? I think Call of Duty? Was it

1718
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:41,880
last year?

1719
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:42,079
Speaker 3: Right?

1720
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:44,279
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to remember if they had showed a

1721
01:12:44,359 --> 01:12:47,439
trailer earlier in the conference and then closed again, you know, closed,

1722
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,520
quote unquote, So.

1723
01:12:50,039 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 2: If it was the last year, was the year before?

1724
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,319
Like that sounds like a familiar pairing of ideas, So.

1725
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,159
Speaker 1: And I can't remember what they did the year before.

1726
01:12:57,199 --> 01:12:58,640
But yeah, Taylor, I think this is the first time

1727
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:00,600
that they've ever done like I think they'vever done like

1728
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,520
Modern War for one and then two of the year after,

1729
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,479
like they've always mixed up the kind of sub series

1730
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,640
I suppose I called you, I've ever done Black Ops

1731
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,520
six to set, like I've ever done this before within

1732
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:12,079
the series.

1733
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 3: Well, you just reminded me for two compared to Monomar for.

1734
01:13:18,279 --> 01:13:21,039
Speaker 1: Three, because that World of War was But I feel

1735
01:13:21,079 --> 01:13:27,680
like advanced Warfare was in between two and three, or

1736
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:28,520
maybe a black two.

1737
01:13:29,119 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 3: Monter for two came out in twenty twenty two, and

1738
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,600
More for three came out twenty twenty three, so that

1739
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,720
was a back to back year there. Oh, okay, that

1740
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,640
would be that would be the first time then, because yeah,

1741
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,319
this this caught me off guard seeing that we're going

1742
01:13:41,359 --> 01:13:43,279
to Black Ops seven right off the cusp of Black

1743
01:13:43,319 --> 01:13:46,359
Ops six. I have never been big on the Black

1744
01:13:46,399 --> 01:13:49,920
Ops games. Black Ops one, Black Ops two, those were good.

1745
01:13:50,119 --> 01:13:53,239
I did enjoy Black Ops three, but after seven, I

1746
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:54,319
know once.

1747
01:13:54,239 --> 01:13:57,159
Speaker 2: To be hit because I first went I'm not a

1748
01:13:57,159 --> 01:13:58,880
fan of Black Ops things like like one, like two,

1749
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,640
like three. Oh right, no, that's not even half.

1750
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 3: That's not even half.

1751
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 2: That's fair enough.

1752
01:14:04,199 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 3: Once we hit those later ones, and I think it

1753
01:14:06,079 --> 01:14:08,960
was Black Ops four that brought in the first war

1754
01:14:09,119 --> 01:14:12,039
Zone or Battle Royale kind of map on the Blackout map,

1755
01:14:12,119 --> 01:14:18,640
and then the incomes Morrow for one and twenty nineteen. Yeah,

1756
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:20,319
because Black Ops for was twenty eighteen, Sea I'm on

1757
01:14:20,399 --> 01:14:22,560
our first twenty nineteen and that brought in war Zone

1758
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,560
and built off of it. So everything with Black Ops

1759
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,640
at this point, I'm not really on board with it.

1760
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,159
It's it's just it's not it's not something that I

1761
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,399
jive with. I like a lot of these spinoff ones,

1762
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,119
like Advanced Warfare. That one was the Besnies. That's when

1763
01:14:38,119 --> 01:14:39,640
they brought on the exo suit and they brought in

1764
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,680
a few other things and just the zombies maps in there.

1765
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,640
I had a hell of a good time with that

1766
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:45,960
and the way they had like the gun building system

1767
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,960
in there too. There was so much good stuff about

1768
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,560
that game. After that there was Infinite Warfare, which is

1769
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:52,600
very much in the future. I really liked how that

1770
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:54,399
one felt. I had a lot of fun with that one,

1771
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,520
and again they played very different from each other. And

1772
01:14:59,319 --> 01:15:00,600
at the end of the day, though, I feel like

1773
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,479
Black Ops was always something that was rooted or like

1774
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,039
the older like you got Cold War that was Black

1775
01:15:06,079 --> 01:15:12,000
Ops five. Uh So there's just when you play Black

1776
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,760
Ops games, I feel like there's just much more of

1777
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,720
like a sluggish kind of feel to it. And maybe

1778
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,680
that's just me and my own personal bias in this,

1779
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:22,399
because I like how fast and responsive the Modern Warfare

1780
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:26,159
titles are and twenty nineteen Modern Warfare holy shit, Like

1781
01:15:26,279 --> 01:15:28,960
that was just like they hit the peak right there

1782
01:15:29,159 --> 01:15:31,880
for bringing these Call of Duty games out and they're

1783
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:36,199
just not hitting that stride anymore with these with these titles.

1784
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:39,560
More over, for three Open World Zombies, that was again

1785
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:42,199
another peak that they hit. But now that they're back

1786
01:15:42,239 --> 01:15:45,159
to doing these classic turn or round base zombies, like,

1787
01:15:45,199 --> 01:15:47,800
it's fine, but I'm not on board for it, Like

1788
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,199
I just I'm not there if I'm not even buying

1789
01:15:51,279 --> 01:15:53,640
these Call of Duties anymore because they're just popping up

1790
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:55,560
on games Pass, which is great because now I don't

1791
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:57,159
have to worry about it. I get access to all

1792
01:15:57,199 --> 01:15:59,920
the guns and everything. Was that, Travis?

1793
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 2: I just because I looked up? But you know it's

1794
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,479
crazy because I agree with you, but still call you

1795
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:08,079
black Ops six high selling game last year. Yeah, fucking

1796
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,680
isn't that crazy though that it's still like a bunch

1797
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,600
of people on Xbox's down and games pas. But still

1798
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,960
because I just wonder, I'm just like it's been that

1799
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,560
way since the podcast started, probably before the podcast started.

1800
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,800
It's like how much how many more years doing than

1801
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,119
we have? We're Call Duties like in the top five?

1802
01:16:25,279 --> 01:16:27,119
Speaker 3: Oh a lot? Because you know what, the people that

1803
01:16:27,199 --> 01:16:29,159
are putting the money into this, their kids are going

1804
01:16:29,239 --> 01:16:30,760
to grow up and they're gonna doing the same thing.

1805
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,479
It's just it's an endless cycle on a repeat. Now

1806
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,920
that's crazy. What I think that they need to do

1807
01:16:36,039 --> 01:16:38,640
is I think they need to scrap this Black Ops narrative.

1808
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:40,439
I dropped this narrative.

1809
01:16:40,079 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 2: Top selling game, Taylor of the Year.

1810
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:46,239
Speaker 3: But they should. They should. I I don't have any

1811
01:16:46,399 --> 01:16:48,920
connection to the Black Ops characters, to each zone. Though

1812
01:16:50,359 --> 01:16:52,800
there's a lot of woods, there's a lot of Mason's, like,

1813
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:53,720
what are the numbers mean?

1814
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:54,119
Speaker 2: Mason?

1815
01:16:54,199 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 3: All that kind of shit. But for me, I think

1816
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:58,239
what they gotta do is they got to go back,

1817
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:00,720
just like they did twenty nineteen on Warfare. They got

1818
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:04,520
to give us a World at War remaster, not even

1819
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:07,079
like ours. Build that ship from the ground up, using

1820
01:17:07,159 --> 01:17:08,960
like the game engine for a Black Ops seven or

1821
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,279
something like that. But do World at War give us

1822
01:17:11,279 --> 01:17:14,560
those four og zombie maps in there again? Oh my god,

1823
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,920
that would be peak. You could throw in a little

1824
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,159
bit of extra sprinkles in there too. Get away with

1825
01:17:19,279 --> 01:17:21,640
the Bubblegump machines. I don't need any of that anymore.

1826
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,520
I don't need any of the other stuff. Just keep

1827
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,239
it simple, back to basics, with a little bit of

1828
01:17:26,279 --> 01:17:30,399
optional choices and customization. They're sure, whatever, but yeah, give

1829
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:33,079
us that main campaign too. The World of War campaign

1830
01:17:33,239 --> 01:17:35,399
was phenomenal. That was such a good story. It was

1831
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,479
crazy missions, but even the multiplayer was popping off back

1832
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,479
in the day too. I think just going along that route,

1833
01:17:42,039 --> 01:17:44,600
doing a World at War kind of relaunch would be

1834
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,079
pretty hype and be pretty peak, because I don't know

1835
01:17:48,199 --> 01:17:50,560
what else you do at this point, Like we've been

1836
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,239
to the future so many times. I don't know how

1837
01:17:53,279 --> 01:17:56,000
many times you can keep going there, and we've been

1838
01:17:56,159 --> 01:17:59,119
back to Cold War, World War one, World War two

1839
01:17:59,319 --> 01:18:01,239
so many times. But at least if you do a

1840
01:18:01,319 --> 01:18:04,279
World at War, you're hitting on a big chunk of

1841
01:18:04,359 --> 01:18:06,039
nostalgia because that game was great.

1842
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,039
Speaker 2: So yeah, numbers go against you, though, Taylor. Other than

1843
01:18:09,119 --> 01:18:12,079
in twenty twenty three, this entire decade, every year called

1844
01:18:12,119 --> 01:18:15,439
he is at number one. That's crazy. Hogwarts Legacy is

1845
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,319
the only year that bumped it off. So that's just

1846
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:19,439
that to me, is not like it's not if you're

1847
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,000
to say, hey, it's in the top ten, that would

1848
01:18:21,039 --> 01:18:22,680
mean nuts to me. But the fact that it's top

1849
01:18:23,119 --> 01:18:24,520
three is that to me, the fact that the top

1850
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,000
one is even nuts or nuts, so whatever you want

1851
01:18:27,039 --> 01:18:29,399
to say, Like I just I can't believe it or not.

1852
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,159
We've been doing this for ten years and it's just

1853
01:18:31,319 --> 01:18:32,760
it's still the exact same, you know.

1854
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:34,319
Speaker 3: It's why they closed it out on their show.

1855
01:18:35,279 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 1: So why they spend seventy billion dollars to acquire Activision Blizzard.

1856
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 2: And that's why you're getting Black Ops seven Taylor, you know,

1857
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:44,359
the one game of the year. Why would they Why

1858
01:18:44,359 --> 01:18:45,960
would they stop? They can do that, They can do

1859
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,239
your stuff. When they drop down a.

1860
01:18:47,199 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 3: Little, they can't. And you know what, at the end

1861
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,560
of the day, I don't play the campaigns anymore for

1862
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:52,840
these I it's it is what it is. Other people can.

1863
01:18:53,279 --> 01:18:57,960
I'm I'm playing the multiplayer. I do enjoy just team Deathmatch.

1864
01:18:58,359 --> 01:19:01,239
However many times we have new Town now fuck, we've

1865
01:19:01,239 --> 01:19:04,359
had like six iterations of Nuketown. I don't even fucking

1866
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,319
know anymore. But I'm still playing the multiplayer. I do

1867
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,920
enjoy Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hard Point, those are my go tos.

1868
01:19:11,159 --> 01:19:13,720
And then when you guys are online, I'm absolutely down

1869
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,159
to just pop on the war Zone and I think

1870
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,760
this it'll be exciting to see what this brings for

1871
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,479
a war Zone just to see you. Oh, we're gonna

1872
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,880
get some new maps, new guns, all that kind of stuff.

1873
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: So if they remove omni movement, I'll play some multiplayer.

1874
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:30,600
But oh, fuck you, gus mainstay for the next few years,

1875
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:31,359
it needs to go.

1876
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 3: I am I there's a chance that they could remove

1877
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,239
it in this new one. The omni movement.

1878
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:36,159
Speaker 2: Fuck you.

1879
01:19:36,279 --> 01:19:39,159
Speaker 3: We were talking about wall riding and Mario Kart omni movements.

1880
01:19:39,239 --> 01:19:42,079
The Oh my god, your age will show once because

1881
01:19:42,079 --> 01:19:47,720
that shit like the tweakerss, the crazies, just like jumping

1882
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,760
around three sixties wall jumps, like all over the ceilings

1883
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,800
and shit, I can't keep up with that. Fuck I

1884
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,119
work at nine to five. I'm just trying to enjoy

1885
01:19:56,199 --> 01:19:56,920
my Friday night.

1886
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,319
Speaker 1: I'm guessing games Calm, we'll get like a ten to

1887
01:20:03,359 --> 01:20:05,840
fifteen minute like full breakdown of this game. That would

1888
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:07,920
be my prediction of when we get more info on this,

1889
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,479
because they didn't show like shit all in this really

1890
01:20:11,239 --> 01:20:12,000
really yeah.

1891
01:20:13,359 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 3: That's cinematic. I didn't know how to interpret it. I

1892
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:17,479
thought it was Starfield at first when I saw it,

1893
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,039
and then it went all haywire and I thought, this

1894
01:20:20,199 --> 01:20:23,199
is like Stranger Things kind of like, I don't know,

1895
01:20:23,319 --> 01:20:23,840
it's just weird.

1896
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: I guess Black Comb back just like their Black Ops

1897
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:29,279
is just there, like what if scenario thing now, so

1898
01:20:29,319 --> 01:20:32,000
it's kind of just like your their template for just

1899
01:20:32,039 --> 01:20:32,680
getting kind.

1900
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 2: And started with it, like the what if. I feel

1901
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:38,239
like in the first two games were very very realistic

1902
01:20:38,319 --> 01:20:39,479
what ifs right where.

1903
01:20:39,399 --> 01:20:41,039
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, here's one turn in history, and

1904
01:20:41,079 --> 01:20:43,319
now it's just like in the future if all this crazy.

1905
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 2: If JFK was alive, you know, now it's just like

1906
01:20:46,039 --> 01:20:49,800
now you've seeing multiple rehab like JFK was God or something.

1907
01:20:51,079 --> 01:20:53,000
It's like, what if JFK was Doctor Strange and he

1908
01:20:53,039 --> 01:20:55,199
walked down the world like flipped. I was like, whoa,

1909
01:20:55,399 --> 01:20:57,520
It's like, is this an exception game? Like what's going on?

1910
01:20:57,760 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 3: Huh?

1911
01:20:58,279 --> 01:21:02,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Taylor mentioned Starfield there. Let's talk a little

1912
01:21:02,239 --> 01:21:05,159
bit about our predictions or our or our failed predictions.

1913
01:21:05,159 --> 01:21:07,439
I suppose. So one of the things I predicted was

1914
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:10,039
that we were gonna get Starfield. I said, we're gonna

1915
01:21:10,039 --> 01:21:12,359
get two updates. We're gonna ge a story DLC and

1916
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,960
then like a building, you know, space built space based

1917
01:21:16,079 --> 01:21:20,119
thing like that Starfield face No Show. Yeah, Taylor thought

1918
01:21:20,159 --> 01:21:22,359
was happening there, but instead it was a It was

1919
01:21:22,399 --> 01:21:25,880
a complete no show, which yeah, really surprises me. Just

1920
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:27,279
like I don't know if they don't have anything ready,

1921
01:21:27,359 --> 01:21:29,800
if they're just not doing more Starfield stuff, if they're

1922
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,239
just letting moders do all the Starfield stuff and they're

1923
01:21:32,239 --> 01:21:34,800
just not gonna do anything theirselves. But I was surprised,

1924
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:36,319
you know, considering we get like see if these are

1925
01:21:36,399 --> 01:21:38,640
you get other scrolls every year, we get followed seventy

1926
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:41,279
six every year. I thought I thought Starfield was gonna

1927
01:21:41,279 --> 01:21:43,479
become that, And yeah, maybe they just don't have anything ready,

1928
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:45,880
But considering that, like they wouldn't have something like that

1929
01:21:46,079 --> 01:21:49,399
at a developer direct in January, I don't think they

1930
01:21:49,399 --> 01:21:52,279
would like spend money for like a Game Awards trailer

1931
01:21:52,399 --> 01:21:55,239
for Starfield DLC, So it feels like we wouldn't get

1932
01:21:55,279 --> 01:21:57,079
anyth until next I mean, maybe they can just drop

1933
01:21:57,159 --> 01:21:59,279
that in any random day. They don't need out a showcase.

1934
01:21:59,359 --> 01:22:02,239
But obviously I predicted it, and I was very surprised

1935
01:22:02,279 --> 01:22:04,840
to see, you know, maybe not that my prediction didn't

1936
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:06,560
come true, but that we just didn't didn't even see

1937
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:09,800
a Starfield logo on any screen. I don't even think

1938
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,399
maybe when they're talking to the ally they had like

1939
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:13,800
a screen shove in the background. But I was very

1940
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:14,439
surprised with that.

1941
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 2: I thought though that last deal see that the game

1942
01:22:17,079 --> 01:22:19,439
go up. That wasn't attached like a showcase or anything, right,

1943
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:21,239
it was just kind of a well.

1944
01:22:21,159 --> 01:22:22,319
Speaker 1: It was tricky because that was part of the pre

1945
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:24,279
order bonus, right, so it was known before the game case.

1946
01:22:24,319 --> 01:22:26,199
It was kind of like the Jones thing where it's like, yeah,

1947
01:22:26,199 --> 01:22:28,279
I don't know, I still I think that was at

1948
01:22:28,279 --> 01:22:30,119
the showcase though last summer. I think it was like

1949
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,720
here's what it actually is called, here's what it looks like.

1950
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:33,680
It's coming out in the fall.

1951
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I don't know if there's gonna be more,

1952
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,720
because I don't know. I think that I don't think

1953
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,199
it was. Reception was mixed in the way that it

1954
01:22:41,399 --> 01:22:43,960
was like divisive of like a fail or not failed.

1955
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:45,680
I think it was just didn't live up to the

1956
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:47,800
hype that some people were hoping. Yeah, I really enjoyed.

1957
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,039
Speaker 1: I just felt like that's exactly what happened with seventy six,

1958
01:22:50,119 --> 01:22:52,039
and like, now look at it, they're still supporting it.

1959
01:22:52,279 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's at least that's at least built off

1960
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:58,560
the back of Fallout though, right that branding of and everything.

1961
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: I guess another thing too is if Starfield is now

1962
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:02,600
like the third pillar for Bethesda, We'll see if it

1963
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,199
was a one off ef they make a sequel, but

1964
01:23:04,319 --> 01:23:06,640
like obviously they had Elder Scrolls followed and they were

1965
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:09,520
kind of flipping flopping back forth. Now Starfield's in the mix,

1966
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,840
that means that like before the next Starfield comes out,

1967
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,000
assuming we get a Fallout five and then like a

1968
01:23:14,079 --> 01:23:16,479
fall and then Elder Stroll six, like, there's gonna be

1969
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:18,359
a long ass time before we get a Starfield sequel,

1970
01:23:18,399 --> 01:23:20,479
So it makes sense to like support it for years

1971
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,000
and years to come in like smaller updates. But it

1972
01:23:23,079 --> 01:23:23,640
didn't happen.

1973
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:28,399
Speaker 2: Do you think it's a for sure Starfield sequel. I

1974
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:29,000
don't know.

1975
01:23:29,199 --> 01:23:31,319
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a for sure And because I

1976
01:23:31,359 --> 01:23:33,279
think by the time that would be the next game up,

1977
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,279
like Todd Howard might not even be Bathesta anymore. Who

1978
01:23:36,319 --> 01:23:38,039
knows what the direction will be like for that studio.

1979
01:23:38,039 --> 01:23:39,279
Maybe it'll just be like we just want to make

1980
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,119
Elder Scrolls and follow Out. We don't have time for

1981
01:23:41,119 --> 01:23:44,119
anything else. If development times are ten fifteen years whatever

1982
01:23:44,319 --> 01:23:46,720
some of these games. So yeah, I don't know, we'll

1983
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,359
see but yeah, I thought it would show up. Another

1984
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:52,319
thing that Taylor thought would show up was Gears six,

1985
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:55,319
but we didn't even see Gears E Day. So I'm

1986
01:23:55,359 --> 01:23:57,199
thinking now Gears E Day must be one of the

1987
01:23:57,239 --> 01:23:59,880
four or five things that the developer direct in January.

1988
01:24:01,399 --> 01:24:03,720
But yeah, in hindsight, like we just got Gears reloaded.

1989
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:06,039
But are you in hindsight are you Are you feeling

1990
01:24:06,079 --> 01:24:07,760
weird about that like I am with Starfield? Are you

1991
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,800
feeling like, actually, maybe that was a weird prediction that

1992
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:11,199
I made.

1993
01:24:12,399 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 3: I don't feel like it was a weird prediction. I

1994
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,640
feel like it was again with your Starfield. I think

1995
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,359
it's all true. You know, you got them bragging about, oh,

1996
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:21,840
twenty five years, you've been with us twenty five years.

1997
01:24:22,319 --> 01:24:24,960
It's like, we know what twenty five is. Years ended

1998
01:24:25,039 --> 01:24:27,079
in a fuck you kind of thing, like you should

1999
01:24:27,119 --> 01:24:32,119
be looking towards the future here with this stuff, not

2000
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:33,720
dwelling on the past.

2001
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,159
Speaker 2: Six wouldn't have been the dwell in the past. A

2002
01:24:36,239 --> 01:24:38,039
Gear six that's kind of dwelling on the that's a

2003
01:24:38,079 --> 01:24:39,880
little bit more.

2004
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,359
Speaker 3: Than Gears Reloaded. That's dwelling on the past.

2005
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 2: If I ever get that out of PlayStation though, that's why,

2006
01:24:45,399 --> 01:24:49,920
you know, I guess, but crossplay confirmed not. I was

2007
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:51,880
really hoping they were gonna be like, and guess what

2008
01:24:52,039 --> 01:24:54,039
this time is four people? It's only two still, so

2009
01:24:54,119 --> 01:24:55,760
I really wanted to do the squad.

2010
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:56,520
Speaker 3: Stuck in the past.

2011
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 1: That's Gears One didn't have Horde mode, right or what

2012
01:25:00,359 --> 01:25:01,520
did they they have a name for that?

2013
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:06,560
Speaker 3: I thought that was Gears to that introduced that. I

2014
01:25:09,079 --> 01:25:11,439
thought that was four because I thought Gears to change

2015
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:12,960
the game by being four players.

2016
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 2: Actually I thought it might.

2017
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:19,199
Speaker 1: Have Yeah, okay, interesting. Another thing, I you know, this

2018
01:25:19,319 --> 01:25:22,600
is more summer game fest, but I was thinking Straight

2019
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,119
would show up. Didn't get that at all. Another thing

2020
01:25:25,159 --> 01:25:27,520
you thought Taylor was State of Decay, which was yeah,

2021
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:32,319
definitely absent here. Uh concerned about Stave DeKay.

2022
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 3: I'm concerned. I went to the reddit. I went to

2023
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:37,439
the reddit posts, and the other people are concerned too.

2024
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,279
They're they're a little bit uneasy on this. So I'm

2025
01:25:40,319 --> 01:25:42,840
not the only one. I you know, I said it,

2026
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,880
and I was maybe I was just doubting myself, thinking, yah,

2027
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,079
it's probably not gonna get any kind of a.

2028
01:25:49,159 --> 01:25:53,199
Speaker 1: Mention Travis, I forget, did you have an Xbox Showcase

2029
01:25:53,239 --> 01:25:54,239
specific prediction.

2030
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the Xbox will have two like or

2031
01:25:57,399 --> 01:26:00,560
a new project anounced for switch PlayStation sort of deal

2032
01:26:01,079 --> 01:26:05,920
like something like that. Right, didn't happen, So I was thinking, thinking,

2033
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,279
we get that, but no, we did not get anything

2034
01:26:08,319 --> 01:26:11,000
new for Xbox and new titles because I even thought

2035
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:13,520
I didn't. I guess that wasn't specific, but I thought

2036
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,640
I just said, like over the weekend, that will pop

2037
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:17,800
up somewhere, and it didn't.

2038
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:21,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, there's been some some murmurs that you know,

2039
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:24,199
one of the things released next year would be Halo

2040
01:26:24,279 --> 01:26:28,239
Combat Evolved, Yes, the remake, which yeah, would make sense

2041
01:26:28,319 --> 01:26:29,840
for that, As I mentioned in the discord today, that

2042
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:31,560
would make sense for that be the first time for

2043
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:34,680
Halo to make the finally make that jump over to PlayStation.

2044
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,359
That would be the game to do that with obviously

2045
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,359
the OG game. So maybe we'll see something that we

2046
01:26:40,399 --> 01:26:42,199
did see. There was definitely a lot of PS five

2047
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,439
logos in the end screens of a lot of the

2048
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:46,680
games here. I don't think there was any switch to

2049
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:51,279
games though, No, not yet, And even I think about

2050
01:26:51,279 --> 01:26:53,319
like Summer Gamefest didn't really have the switch to logo.

2051
01:26:53,359 --> 01:26:54,439
I think we talked about that a little bit, like

2052
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:57,439
I don't yeah, like I don't know what's going on

2053
01:26:57,680 --> 01:26:58,079
with some of.

2054
01:26:58,119 --> 01:27:02,399
Speaker 2: That, but I think it's just almost similar like how

2055
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:03,840
the switch was, right, like it took a while for

2056
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:06,159
some of these games, Syrupunk coming over. That game has

2057
01:27:06,159 --> 01:27:07,960
been out for a while, so I think it's still

2058
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:10,079
at a state where they like to like, here's what

2059
01:27:10,319 --> 01:27:10,800
I feel like a.

2060
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Game like Keeper, that new Double Find game, Like to me,

2061
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,039
that seems like I'm sure that could run on a

2062
01:27:15,079 --> 01:27:15,680
switch one.

2063
01:27:16,239 --> 01:27:18,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but also just because the new conscert would come

2064
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,760
down to like contracts and working things out where if

2065
01:27:21,079 --> 01:27:22,279
she was running and stuff.

2066
01:27:22,039 --> 01:27:25,199
Speaker 1: And Keeper in particularly his Xbox first party, so they'd

2067
01:27:25,199 --> 01:27:27,560
probably want that exclusivity window for a few months before

2068
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:28,159
it jumps over.

2069
01:27:28,279 --> 01:27:34,399
Speaker 3: But yeah, sorry, because Travis, you guys might have covered

2070
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:38,199
this in the previous games first episode that on was

2071
01:27:38,239 --> 01:27:42,840
it Friday Friday? But you, Travis, because you predicted Jurassic

2072
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,039
Park Survival, But right.

2073
01:27:45,159 --> 01:27:47,399
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened with that. I'm sorry.

2074
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:52,600
Speaker 3: Give you credit because you were like fifty to fifty,

2075
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,600
like still in the in the period.

2076
01:27:55,399 --> 01:27:57,159
Speaker 2: I said in this score, Yeah, I should have just

2077
01:27:57,199 --> 01:27:59,439
went with Jurassic. That should Now I've learned to be

2078
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,039
safe for I don't want to go for a specific.

2079
01:28:01,079 --> 01:28:02,960
But yeah the second I said, than this for the second.

2080
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 1: Specifics more fun.

2081
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2082
01:28:05,079 --> 01:28:07,640
Speaker 2: Second, I saw evolution out there goes my survival. Same

2083
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:10,359
thing because I released that trailer, did an interview so

2084
01:28:10,399 --> 01:28:13,600
that Okay, we're cooking here, and I guess the plate

2085
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,039
is still a little cool right now, so I'm not

2086
01:28:16,119 --> 01:28:17,520
worried about like stay of the Ky, but I just

2087
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,399
saw now the time. But also the no evolution was cooking,

2088
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,520
so there and then the only one I got right

2089
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:24,239
was the James Bond Actor one.

2090
01:28:24,359 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 1: So I'll take you Taylor. What did you, by the way,

2091
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,920
what did you think good reminder think of evolution three?

2092
01:28:30,159 --> 01:28:32,439
What did that trailer do for you? What's what's kind

2093
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:33,960
of new and captivating about that?

2094
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:37,199
Speaker 3: The biggest thing is letting your dinos breed in the

2095
01:28:37,239 --> 01:28:40,800
while getting like infant baby dinosaurs like you have, Like

2096
01:28:41,279 --> 01:28:43,439
there's the mom t rex and the two little infants.

2097
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:45,960
There you got the big mama Mosesaurus and the two

2098
01:28:46,119 --> 01:28:48,880
infants swimming next to it. That is super exciting. I

2099
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,079
can't wait. It seems like they're getting much more hands

2100
01:28:51,119 --> 01:28:54,319
on with the first person perspective too, which is really exciting,

2101
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:56,520
and the way that like we know that your vehicles

2102
01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:58,680
could be damaged and whatnot before, but it seems like

2103
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:01,000
they're really amp umping the air a little bit more

2104
01:29:01,079 --> 01:29:05,239
with that. Yeah, I mean the worlds and the locations,

2105
01:29:05,279 --> 01:29:07,119
that's always nice. So it'll be cool to see where

2106
01:29:07,119 --> 01:29:09,279
they're going with this. And they these games play a

2107
01:29:09,359 --> 01:29:14,640
direct tie in with the films, so not like enduring

2108
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:16,319
the film, but kind of like, oh like leading up

2109
01:29:16,319 --> 01:29:18,199
to kind of a thing. Not that I care about

2110
01:29:18,199 --> 01:29:19,920
the canon or whatnot, but it's fun just to kind

2111
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,680
of have the characters really closely affiliated with your story

2112
01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:25,439
as you're kind of going along doing these missions. But

2113
01:29:26,079 --> 01:29:30,000
the game is immaculately beautiful. I mean, you've played it,

2114
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,560
like Drastic World Evolution two is just a beautiful game,

2115
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,640
was so much detail and its wonder and being able

2116
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,319
to choose between decorating a theme park between Jurassic Park

2117
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:43,079
and then Drastic World, and being able to go even

2118
01:29:43,159 --> 01:29:45,920
further and make it like a lost world. Jurassic Park

2119
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,079
three kind of a thing run down, but just like

2120
01:29:48,319 --> 01:29:51,640
they have so many really cool things, and they never

2121
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:53,680
fail to keep adding more and more and more with

2122
01:29:54,159 --> 01:29:57,920
Drastic World Evolution two being the inclusion of aerial dinosaurs

2123
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:01,479
and aquatic dinosaurs and all that. Like, they've added so

2124
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:05,640
many really awesome things, So I'm excited to see how

2125
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,119
big this one's going to be. That being said, I'm

2126
01:30:08,159 --> 01:30:09,560
not gonna get a day one that this is a

2127
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,279
game that's gonna sale very very quickly. I guarantee it.

2128
01:30:12,279 --> 01:30:12,800
I'm gonna wait.

2129
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:14,840
Speaker 1: Eventually those ones went on Game Pass too, or at

2130
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,279
least the second one of them did go on Game Past.

2131
01:30:17,319 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 3: That's true.

2132
01:30:18,359 --> 01:30:20,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, I think the to me,

2133
01:30:20,319 --> 01:30:22,359
it looks a lot more like vertical like in terms

2134
01:30:22,399 --> 01:30:24,720
of being able to build up more like hills and

2135
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:26,720
little plateaus and things like that. So it seems like

2136
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,159
you can get a little more dynamic with your with

2137
01:30:29,319 --> 01:30:32,039
your park, which is which is pretty cool. All right,

2138
01:30:32,079 --> 01:30:36,039
I'm gonna give this showcase three point nine to me.

2139
01:30:36,119 --> 01:30:38,239
It's not quite a four, but it's definitely not a

2140
01:30:38,279 --> 01:30:40,319
three point five, So I'm giving to three point nine.

2141
01:30:40,359 --> 01:30:42,600
It's just just under a four for me. I think

2142
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:44,399
it needed one more big sauce and then it would

2143
01:30:44,399 --> 01:30:45,960
have been in the four to four point five range

2144
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:48,640
and a little more couple more personal things for me,

2145
01:30:49,319 --> 01:30:50,840
but overall, I think it was It was really great,

2146
01:30:51,039 --> 01:30:53,640
and uh yeah, Xbox continues that.

2147
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:54,279
Speaker 2: I like that.

2148
01:30:54,359 --> 01:30:56,239
Speaker 1: I can at this point now look forward to every

2149
01:30:56,359 --> 01:30:58,119
Xbox showcase. For a bit, there was like, I don't

2150
01:30:58,119 --> 01:30:59,479
know what we're gonna get, but now it seems like

2151
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,920
every year we at least get. I feel like if

2152
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:03,640
I if we ever go below a three point five,

2153
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:06,159
I'll be shocked for me. But yeah, three point nine.

2154
01:31:06,079 --> 01:31:10,319
Speaker 2: For me, I won't be shocked if film the team's

2155
01:31:10,319 --> 01:31:12,800
always around because they can always they can always surprise me.

2156
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:17,600
To unsusprise me, you know, I'm gonna steal your gimmick.

2157
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:20,359
Three point nine is great. I honestly, at some point

2158
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:22,680
was like at a four point five, probably about midway through,

2159
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:24,680
just like the pacing, I thought, there's lots of games.

2160
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,000
There's one game that's not Xbox School, so we didn't

2161
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,800
talk about that. I like called Kronos. Yeah, I like

2162
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,680
the monster designs, but it's for everybody, and it's this

2163
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:35,560
false like, Kay, well I'm not getting that game right away,

2164
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:38,520
but it's on my list for when that gets cheaper whatever.

2165
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 1: But their last game or two were on game Pass,

2166
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:43,600
so I don't know if that was what it could be,

2167
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:45,079
could become a game pass game.

2168
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 2: But it's is this chronus you mean from the dev

2169
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:48,800
or is this like a series? No?

2170
01:31:49,079 --> 01:31:51,279
Speaker 1: Like a Bluebird team who makes that dated the medium

2171
01:31:51,359 --> 01:31:52,960
They did the blaur Witch game, all of which were

2172
01:31:53,039 --> 01:31:55,680
on game Pass. I don't think Silent Hill was. They

2173
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:57,159
did that remake, but that's a bit different because it's

2174
01:31:57,199 --> 01:31:58,880
Konomi as well. But yeah, it could be a game

2175
01:31:58,880 --> 01:31:59,279
pass one.

2176
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:02,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, I thought because for me sometimes I

2177
01:32:02,359 --> 01:32:04,760
feel like I lean That's why I always wait for

2178
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:07,000
those fives. The pacing. To me, I really appreciate how

2179
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,479
someone puts the show together, and I thought the show

2180
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:12,079
just take away. The games at first were very well done.

2181
01:32:12,119 --> 01:32:14,000
I think something's got a good amount. I think, like

2182
01:32:14,079 --> 01:32:15,800
we talked about Summer Games Fest, it did not have

2183
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,319
that like all three games ran together, didn't know what

2184
01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:20,800
they were. I felt that there was a lot of variety.

2185
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:23,640
It was like, oh, here's five dark fantasy things here.

2186
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,439
It's like, oh, it's high on Life to a prone

2187
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:29,680
four dark ground and yeah, it's all like different. It's

2188
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:31,720
like you could have a string of six to eight

2189
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:34,239
games where you're not gonna confuse them, You're gonna look

2190
01:32:34,239 --> 01:32:36,279
at them like, oh, they're all very different where I

2191
01:32:36,359 --> 01:32:38,720
think that happened with both Sony and the Summer Games Fest.

2192
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:41,600
So but the three point nine is because of could

2193
01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:43,520
have liked some more Wow motes and some stuff from

2194
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:49,439
their catalog, and also the the cod review legit is

2195
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,199
a negative five point five, but I like the point six.

2196
01:32:52,279 --> 01:32:54,720
So yeah, that's three point nine. That's perfect. Seeing four

2197
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:57,359
seems too strong, but to me it's like just above that,

2198
01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,960
just know how, just flip through things. Like I said,

2199
01:33:00,319 --> 01:33:02,680
if that allies last, it's a four for sure.

2200
01:33:03,239 --> 01:33:05,560
Speaker 1: So mm hm, Taylor, what's your number?

2201
01:33:06,039 --> 01:33:08,359
Speaker 3: I wanna go three point five. I feel like it

2202
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:10,560
was it was consistent, and it's good. I think there's

2203
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:16,119
definitely a good amount of content for everyone here and

2204
01:33:16,159 --> 01:33:20,800
they're hitting all their bases. But it's definitely not perfect.

2205
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,199
And I'm talking at points because I'm I'm being greedy

2206
01:33:23,239 --> 01:33:27,920
and I wanted some more. Now, I wanted some more

2207
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,880
some Taylor stuff in here, not even any like Halo stuff.

2208
01:33:32,079 --> 01:33:34,039
You know, obviously there's a comment of Alve members, but

2209
01:33:34,199 --> 01:33:35,800
just some something on the Horizon.

2210
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:37,520
Speaker 2: That's for us, that's for the Sony guy.

2211
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:39,840
Speaker 1: It's not you horizons for PlayStation fans.

2212
01:33:40,159 --> 01:33:44,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I'm being like absolutely super super greedy, I

2213
01:33:44,279 --> 01:33:47,159
want like a Halo Wars three. I want my Gears six.

2214
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:53,079
Speaker 2: Since this podcast started, I know, I know, I got two.

2215
01:33:53,039 --> 01:33:57,279
Speaker 3: And that's as far as they're gonna give me. All Right,

2216
01:33:57,359 --> 01:33:57,800
that's about it.

2217
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:02,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one completely unrelated to anything we just talked about. Taylor.

2218
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:08,119
Name any video game, any video game, name one video game,

2219
01:34:08,159 --> 01:34:08,720
any video.

2220
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:13,800
Speaker 3: Game, any video game in the world. Uh, Star Wars, Empire, War.

2221
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:16,159
Speaker 2: War.

2222
01:34:16,239 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 1: Okay, that'll be relevant at some point in the future.

2223
