Nikki? 14 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.040 I think the Giant Bomb way is having everything pretty 15 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.920 locked down as soon as five seconds after the stream 16 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.200 starts and then it all kind of falls apart later. Yeah, 17 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.359 it has that potential even though everything is perfect and 18 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:23.480 great beforehand. 19 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.000 I feel like the amount of times I've been with 20 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.040 Jan and he's been like, Okay, everything is working perfect, 21 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.680 and then the show starts and he's like everything is broken, 22 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.640 everything is broken.

Someone to try it. Seemed like Dan wasn't trying 220 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.559 it because he's a fake Taco Bell fan, So I 221 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.000 wasn't that. 222 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.639 I'm going to cover his ear on my shirt there 223 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:29.639 we got. 224 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.320 Somewhere down is like, this is why I end up 225 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.879 the fucking dentist every week, getting goaded into eating like 226 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.759 frozen Baja blast and ship like that. 227 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:36.639 It was just like a. 228 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:41.320 Shade ice Baja blast. It's not even like actually gelato is. 229 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.080 Really because shaved I don't get it with shaved ice. 230 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.519 I'll just admit it. Like, if I'm going to like 231 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.960 consume sugar and have some kind of treat, I don't 232 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.039 want frozen water covered in sugar. I want like ice 233 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.120 cream or a candy like shape. Ice is so incredibly 234 00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.639 mid it gets gross. 235 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.679 But it's because it's not filling. You do still need 236 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.039 to You are still getting hydration, which I know you're anti. 237 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.120 Look like Christ fucking dude in Disneyland, but. 238 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:16.639 Like, but there is there is a hydration aspect to 239 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.759 shaved ice. I guess that you lose from ice cream. 240 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.480 I think I'm not sure if I agree. I might 241 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.879 be on Mitch's side. I had shaved ice for the 242 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:32.480 first time recently actually in Seattle while we were there 243 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:38.480 for packs, and it was refreshing, I will say that, 244 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.879 but it was also deeply disappointing. 245 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.080 Yeah. 246 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.360 So, and also by the I like ate most of it, 247 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.000 and then by the end of it, it's just like 248 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:47.639 a pool of syrup, which was. 249 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.519 Faster. Here's the thing you got to get on. 250 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.000 You got to get on that hollow hollow till, which 251 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:03.120 is shaved ice. It's also frozen. It's a Filipino dessert specialty, 252 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:08.559 and it's shaved ice and also frozen like condensed milk. 253 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.720 So you kind of are getting both of the things 254 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:20.519 that you want. It's freaking delight. Hollow hollow like h boys, Yeah, 255 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.759 like Halo, Halo, Halo. 256 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.919 This is more in line with the consistency of what 257 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.360 I had. It's like it wasn't shaved ice. It was 258 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.480 like shaved ice mixed with something else. Like I know 259 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.440 it was supposed to be like fame, but like this 260 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:36.879 looks kind of like what I had. 261 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.879 Are you ready to have your life changed?

Interesting. Yeah, either way, I don't think 382 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:56.200 it's novel anymore. I feel like it's a fact of Life's. 383 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:57.200 Definitely not novel for you who's had it. 384 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:02.359 No, no, no, no, at least not imagine definitely. I 385 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.799 think I might have had it a sixth time because 386 00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:09.440 I got really sick and then I was like, I 387 00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:11.559 know what's going on, but I just didn't have and 388 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.519 I I think I don't. I tested, but when I tested, 389 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.319 I was feeling much better. Though it was just like, hey, 390 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.279 so I might be the sixth time champion. You know 391 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:21.960 you know. 392 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.680 I think everyone should go. If you have insurance, you 393 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.119 should go. The new boosters are out, you can schedule 394 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.319 them right now. You could honestly probably walk into your 395 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.160 local drug store right now and go get it. So 396 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.920 I think everyone should go get the new COVID boosters. 397 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.920 Yes, Mike, Do I need to do that anymore? Do 398 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.000 I like have? Yeah? 399 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:43.119 But you have to wait. 400 00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.039 Nope, that's not how that works. But you do have 401 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:49.319 to wait. Okay, you know who you should ask? Your doctor? 402 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:49.640 Father? 403 00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:56.240 Okay, wait, how disappointed in you is he? 404 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:00.000 I must be insane. 405 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.079 This is the first time you're finding out about this. 406 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.480 Damn I did not know. I just don't listen to. 407 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.480 Well that's fair, but oh my god.

I guess it's not specifically targeted 574 00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:10.400 as kids, but in this generation, the kids are on. 575 00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:12.119 It was the Stanley Cup thing. 576 00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:16.720 Right, Yeah, yeah, but that was also bigger even I 577 00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:19.119 don't I mean four kids. 578 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:26.039 It's been a really long time because nowadays kids don't 579 00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:29.440 really do toys anymore. They just sit there on like 580 00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:30.559 iPads and crabs. 581 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:32.720 That's a pot of Toy Story five by the way, 582 00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:39.160 really toy dead now only be Boop the girls.

They should have made 603 00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:38.000 Toy Story five about the toys seeing themselves be recreated 604 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.480 as digital things and having an existential crisis and being like, 605 00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:44.759 what the fuck is happening? And then the whole thing 606 00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.519 is like a battle for their souls that no one 607 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:48.359 actually watched. 608 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:53.359 Turn it to an n f T Yeah, exactly, And 609 00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:55.680 there's a whole joke about them saying like, oh, there's 610 00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:58.079 there's only one of these, but it's like, but I'm here, 611 00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:59.599 I'm a second one. 612 00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:07.599 It's the second, they do that with Buzz in two. 613 00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:11.800 Right, Well, he has a crisis because he comes from 614 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:14.119 other buzz Buzz Lightyears. 615 00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:19.639 But it's weird because the barbies know, yeah already the 616 00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:21.559 barbies are okay, So I wonder what that's about. 617 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.239 Yeah, they did. I think buzz light it was an 618 00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:28.199 experiment where they tried to make the toys too self aware, 619 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.199 and it backfired horribly because all the other buzz Lightyears 620 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:33.119 also have that problem. They don't know that they're a 621 00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:35.960 toy for some reason, every other toy understands. They're like, 622 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.559 I'm from Mattel, I was made in a factory, and 623 00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:42.039 buzz Lighters are like, I'm a real space ranger.

I would sacrifice one toy story 632 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:08.000 for another. 633 00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.960 But I remember that. I remember the promotional campaign with 634 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.760 Burger King because they introduced the Rodeo Burger during WHOA 635 00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:23.880 because that burger barbecue sauce. Hell yeah, it was like, Hell, 636 00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:24.960 let's freaking go. 637 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:27.760 On the topic of burger king. I think it's fucked 638 00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:29.880 up to put a burger on television that doesn't have 639 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:38.199 cheese on it. Yeah, I agree, why whenever hamburg I agree? 640 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:39.920 Thank you so much, Mike. We're on the right side 641 00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:42.960 of history. I think if you're putting a burger on TV, 642 00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.400 it has to have cheese on it. And if you 643 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.840 aren't going to put cheese on it, that's your own thing, dude, 644 00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:51.039 in the privacy of your own home. 645 00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:53.000 You mean Hamburgers are bad? 646 00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:54.000 Correct? 647 00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:57.199 Yes, I thought you meant like the Whopper is like. 648 00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.880 But the Whopper, I agree, you should not be able 649 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:06.480 to show the cheese on it. Yeah. 650 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:11.199 Yeah. The cheese standard has no cheese specify you want cheese. 651 00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:12.440 It's wild. 652 00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:17.039 So what's doesn't the Wapper have multiple patties? 653 00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:20.719 It's no. The big base Whopper is just a single patty. 654 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:22.719 It is the whole, The whole thing with the Wappers, 655 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:24.079 just that it's supposed to be like big or at 656 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:26.920 least at the time, and it's just like what ketchup 657 00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:33.400 onion whatever? Mayo and mayo Yeah. 658 00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:35.639 Yeah, I'm looking now and the Yeah, it looks like 659 00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:39.119 they don't put cheese on it. But it looks it 660 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:41.840 looks wrong. It doesn't it seems it seems. 661 00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:42.920 Weird that I think of that. 662 00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:47.159 Like when I think of I don't know, like a 663 00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.840 mid tier restaurant burger, I think of one that does 664 00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:53.440 have like more of like lettuce and tomato and stuff 665 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:55.920 like that, but not necessarily the cheese. So why I 666 00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:58.519 see a whopper? I'm like, that looks like I know 667 00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:00.840 the quality of the whopper, but it looks to me 668 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:02.280 more like your average burger. 669 00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:03.880 Every burger need cheese. 670 00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.800 I am what is the Burger King spider Man Whopper? 671 00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:08.840 Oh? 672 00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:11.480 That was the Burger King spider Man Whopper.

I am looking at function the same. 674 00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:17.079 Black. 675 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:20.199 There's a picture which is a cross section of the burger, 676 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:25.320 and the meat looks horrifying. Why is it gray? 677 00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:30.039 That weird colors? 678 00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:32.000 And still look at it? 679 00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:32.880 It has like a. 680 00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:38.599 Jesus fresh off the grind Play. 681 00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:41.840 The video game music, Sean, I wish I could take 682 00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:46.800 us into video games? Dare we got got out of? All? 683 00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:47.119 Right? 684 00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:56.239 What's everyone being playing Astro? Anyone? Okay? 685 00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:04.119 Shall we have you been playing Astro? Because finished it? 686 00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:06.079 I finished it? 687 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.719 Yeah, has everyone finished it on. 688 00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:09.119 So here's what I did. 689 00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:12.119 I finished it. I played it for review. I didn't 690 00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.119 review it, but everything that we review I tried to 691 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:18.280 anyway so that no weird shit happens with reviews. But 692 00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:22.360 I finished it pre review, and then I decided I'm 693 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:25.960 gonna not do any of the void levels that you 694 00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:29.559 discover so I can take a little break and have 695 00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:31.880 a little Astro for later, you know what I mean. 696 00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.639 So I'm gonna play Space Marine and then go back 697 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:38.920 to I'm gonna finish Space Marine and then go back 698 00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:40.320 to Astro as a little tree. 699 00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.239 So yeah, that's smart. Great, that's smart. I rolled credit 700 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.559 so I won't give any spoilers. But I do think 701 00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:50.360 that the end of that game is unbelievably funny. It's like, 702 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:54.199 it's just it's really good for I think that has 703 00:38:54.320 --> 00:39:00.000 zero narrative in it. There did they suddenly do decide 704 00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:02.679 to write like eight minutes of narrative and it does 705 00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:08.920 pay off really well. I think it's really good. It's 706 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:10.559 just a really good video game. 707 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.000 Yeah. I have a hard time really coming up with 708 00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.880 a complaint. I mean, basically, as soon as I played 709 00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.480 Astros play Room, which came with the PS five, Like, 710 00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:20.239 I was just like, just make a full one of these, 711 00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:21.960 just make a full one. And then they did, and 712 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.159 it was amazing. It's everything that it needed to be. 713 00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:26.960 It just feels so good to play. It's such a 714 00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.440 delight and joy to go through. The levels are brilliant. 715 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:33.840 The power ups are amazing. You know, some of them 716 00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.559 probably heard about now that are super good. The shrinking 717 00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:39.079 one that maybe is the best level in the game, 718 00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:41.880 the one where you just turn into a sponge is 719 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.679 incredibly neat, Like these are there are mechanics that other 720 00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:48.920 people would build entire games around. Yeah, and they're here 721 00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:50.519 for like two levels and then they're like, now we're 722 00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:53.599 gonna move on to something else. Yeah. You know, the 723 00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:56.679 ending sequence was a ton of fun, and now I 724 00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:58.719 am kind of just going through one undred percenting it, 725 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.159 trying to clean up get as many bots as I can. 726 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:03.840 It's still having fun, like, oh wow, this guy's here, 727 00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.239 that's wild, that's neat, you know, uh, going back to 728 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.199 the hub world and hitting them and they do something silly, right, 729 00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:12.960 It's just a gosh. I just can't get enough of it. 730 00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:15.000 I can't wait for that patch where they add the 731 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.199 speed running levels and that's going to become my life. 732 00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:22.320 While are there any is Cloud in the game or no? 733 00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:26.199 So I think there are no Square Enix characters, which 734 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.840 that's very interesting, it's very interesting. 735 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:34.559 I think that is a very likely addition via DLC. 736 00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.800 I mean, I think it's smarter to save like a 737 00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:44.760 final Cloud for a marketing beat for the next Final. 738 00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:49.760 Maybe see because I was wondering, like, are there bad 739 00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.840 feelings right now there? Because to me, I don't think 740 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:55.239 either side is happy with how Final Fantasy games had 741 00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:57.599 been doing on there after they kind of went exclusive, 742 00:40:57.599 --> 00:40:59.199 and I don't know if they're like, this is your fault, No, 743 00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:00.599 this is your fault kind of. 744 00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:04.559 I feel like we're ascribing drama that that business does 745 00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:05.519 not give a shit about. 746 00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.639 Yeah, keep in mind that Square Enix does tend to 747 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:12.840 be just very stingy with their characters being guessed sometimes, 748 00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:15.639 like you really need to follow a sheet of a 749 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:19.519 guidelines or whatever. That's why, like Cloud's appearances Smash was 750 00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:21.400 a bit odd, Like sure it was cool that he 751 00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.079 was in there, multiple outfits and a new stage, but 752 00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:27.920 like he had almost no music, Like what sometimes. 753 00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.079 When it bother doing the English voice actor things like that. 754 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:33.480 Yeah, sometimes it's just they they're a bit odd about 755 00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:35.280 how they handle that stuff. So I think it's more 756 00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:38.119 along the lines of that, just like they didn't want 757 00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:40.639 to do it, or maybe it's the exact opposite and 758 00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:42.679 they do have like you know, had them coming to 759 00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:44.079 expansion deals. 760 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:49.320 I think it's probably both, Yeah, because the main concern 761 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.559 I imagine from Square, like one of the things is 762 00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:55.840 probably stipulation is like Cloud or whoever written is needs 763 00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:58.960 to be the star of the show, and the way 764 00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:02.199 you do that is by releasing the Final Fantasy seven pack, 765 00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:04.719 which technically makes him the star of the show, but 766 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:08.280 in another game. So I feel like there's ways probably 767 00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:09.880 around it. And it's a little bit of both. 768 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:11.719 It's just a little because like so much of it 769 00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:13.639 is like, oh, this is like all about PlayStation and 770 00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:15.960 kind of a celebration of it, and you know, there 771 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:18.239 are some third party companies you can maybe exclude from 772 00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:19.800 that and kind of get away with it. Not having 773 00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:21.639 a Square Enix there, it is like, oh, something's a 774 00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:24.639 little bit missing, especially just how important that was, like 775 00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:27.280 PS one, like if you know, even outside of Final Fantasy, 776 00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:29.800 it's like, ah, there should be you know, maybe some 777 00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:31.800 some fun deep cuts here, let's get a threads of 778 00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:35.280 fake character or Brave Fencer Musashi or you know, even 779 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.840 Cronocross something like that. So it's a little weird it 780 00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:40.679 didn't happen. I would be curious to know why. But 781 00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:42.599 maybe maybe it is just like there's gonna be a 782 00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:45.280 whole Square Nix world, and you know, you do play 783 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.559 a Final Fantasy seven level after that, like some of 784 00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:49.320 these levels that we have in the game, which, by 785 00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:51.199 the way, like I still don't want to spoil what 786 00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:52.960 all those are, but those levels are. 787 00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:54.280 They're so well done. 788 00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:57.199 Yeah, even when it's a franchise, you're like, oh, this one, 789 00:42:57.199 --> 00:42:58.840 then you play the level like a yes. 790 00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:02.440 Yeah, they should make whole game out of this horizon. 791 00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:09.079 They should. There's also stuff mentioned in the credits, like 792 00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:10.960 ray Man is in the credits but not in the 793 00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:13.559 video game. Did you notice that? 794 00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:14.480 Yes? 795 00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.119 Do you think in the in the. 796 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:18.440 List because I watched the whole fucking credits because now 797 00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:20.400 I'm at the point where I'm like, what are jobs 798 00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.239 that people have? So I'm like looking at the job titles. 799 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.519 They're doing research. But then there's they think all of 800 00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:30.239 the the titles that are in the game, and they're 801 00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:32.440 like thank you to you be Soft for the use 802 00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:35.599 of ray Man, the ray Man not in the game. 803 00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:37.639 Yeah, and I don't know if there's any other Ubi 804 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.519 Soft characters. Like no, I remember seeing Etio, which is 805 00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:45.559 against something you think, so okay, weird is something I 806 00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:48.159 associate with PlayStation one at least I. 807 00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:52.199 Googled that And yeah, every one saying DLC speculation based 808 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:52.920 on the credits. 809 00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:56.719 So oh so does the specifically say does it say 810 00:43:56.760 --> 00:43:57.800 for the use of Raymon? 811 00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:03.320 Yes, the word Rayman shows up in the credits. Yeah, 812 00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:05.159 Rayman mentioned. 813 00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:10.679 Are you just doing like DLC packs would be so 814 00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.400 sick to Just like I was there. 815 00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:17.199 I was talking to someone about this yesterday. I think 816 00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:19.400 she's going to write up an article around this idea. 817 00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:23.280 But like, I think it's very ironic that, in its 818 00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:26.280 attempt to chase down at games as a Service title 819 00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:29.679 and drop the and fuck it up with Concord and 820 00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:32.719 just have no one be interested in it. The best 821 00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:34.920 case for a games is or the best example of 822 00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.039 a games as a Service title that Sony currently has 823 00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:41.559 is Astrobots Play Astrobot Like that is the thing that 824 00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:44.199 you release DLC for, Like that is the thing that 825 00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:46.760 you can be like hey, new planets, et cetera, et cetera, 826 00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.440 and like that is the platform in which they could 827 00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:53.079 continue to have people come back and engage with in 828 00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:57.440 a meaningful way for months, definitely years. 829 00:44:56.840 --> 00:45:00.000 Like I feel like, and some kind of a player 830 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:01.280 station home if you will. 831 00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:05.440 Yeah, some sort of yeah man, some sort of little 832 00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:10.760 big planet for people there. 833 00:45:11.199 --> 00:45:15.440 Yeah, it was. It was in a little bit of 834 00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:17.360 a strange world. I remember getting him almost kind of 835 00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:19.519 felt bad for him, like this was supposed to be 836 00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:23.840 you buddy. Yeah, is he a costume or no? I 837 00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:25.480 don't know if I got him as a costume, I. 838 00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:28.440 Don't know if he's at They should have done the 839 00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:31.960 little big planet planet like that would have been really good, 840 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:35.920 right right. Yeah. So I I really love the game. 841 00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:39.280 I don't think there's much wrong with it. There are 842 00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:41.719 a couple of things that I was like, I wish 843 00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:44.360 this was different a little bit, which is one, and 844 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:46.440 I realized why this is the case, but just for me, 845 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:49.599 like I wish there was more to the enemies than them. 846 00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.480 I get I know that the enemies are like each 847 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.880 individual enemy has a different way to approach it, but 848 00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:59.039 the vast majority of the ones that you encountered just 849 00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:02.119 run at you and can just be slapped away immediately 850 00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:04.400 with little to know. Like they don't even have like 851 00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:06.840 weird running patterns that can catch you off god or 852 00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:09.360 anything like that. They're just very much like And I 853 00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:12.559 get it. It's fine. It's you know, not the that's 854 00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:14.800 not the meat and potatoes of the experience, and it's 855 00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:18.320 not designed to be like super challenging. But I guess 856 00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:20.239 for me, it's just like I can. I got to 857 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:21.920 the point where I was just ignoring enemies. I was like, 858 00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:23.760 I don't need to deal with you, just kind of. 859 00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:25.960 Run pat if I kill them. There's mostly to hover 860 00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:27.920 through them so I can get some coins to help 861 00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.480 me buy gotcha stuff in the world. Yeah, not a 862 00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.280 ton of enemy variety. That's you know, I haven't really 863 00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:34.960 thought about that you said it, but yeah, you see, 864 00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:37.400 it's a lot of like you know what guy comes 865 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.039 at you and does spikes the people who shoot at you, 866 00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:42.960 and like people are electric. 867 00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:47.199 Also Like again, I think this game is phenomenal. The 868 00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:51.119 kind of enemy is the basic enemy is like reskin 869 00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:53.920 for most of the world, which makes me feel a 870 00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:56.079 little like I wish they had more like unique enemies 871 00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:58.639 for those for each of the worlds, you know, so 872 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.679 that they visually like the not visually because they do 873 00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:03.760 have like a gold version or this one's got like 874 00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:06.920 a weird different theme on it, like the actual like 875 00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:08.960 like the silhouette of it and the way it behaved 876 00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:11.119 was a little bit different. But again that's just like 877 00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:14.360 a such a nitpick that it's not really all that important. 878 00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:16.360 Yeah, Like you go to like the bathhouse level and 879 00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:18.880 it's like, oh, these people kind of look more BATHHOUSEE 880 00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:22.400 and I appreciate that. Yeah, everyone's but like sometimes you 881 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:24.599 do get a new enemy and it is really interesting 882 00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:26.679 it WHI was there's more of it, Like there's like 883 00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:29.000 a time stop level where like a guy throws cards 884 00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:34.760 at you like pause, and I'm like, oh, that's amazing. Yeah, 885 00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.119 maybe if there's like a bit a bit more of 886 00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:38.519 that there as well. 887 00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:41.599 But also like it's just smart development, like and and 888 00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:44.039 also like it's it's also kind of like a platform 889 00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:47.039 of trope where you have you know these It has 890 00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.119 a goomber, has a robot goomber, it has a you know, 891 00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:54.039 his head. 892 00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:56.880 Yeah, basically still goombas that we fight in these games. 893 00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:00.559 Yeah, listen, they got Memoto, got it right the first 894 00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:01.360 fucking time. 895 00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:04.800 That does kind of place looking at us junk and 896 00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:06.039 was like, that's the one. 897 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:09.599 The like one real nitpick I had when we were 898 00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:12.639 doing the our little mini review on it was that 899 00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:16.320 it is just a bit on the easy side in 900 00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:19.440 terms of platforming, and that that's something you know, I 901 00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:21.639 realized more as the game is going on, like why 902 00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:23.360 do I find it easy? It's because it's a hide 903 00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:25.239 and seek game for the most part, And that's where 904 00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:27.679 the challenge comes from, is can you figure out the 905 00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:32.320 like level based puzzle, the situational puzzle of you need 906 00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:34.320 to look around this corner, you need to like search 907 00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.599 under here, you need to like even something like blowing 908 00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:39.519 away the leaves so that you find a place to 909 00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:42.079 like dig down with the spin move. That's where the 910 00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:44.360 challenge of the game comes from. And I just prefer 911 00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:47.159 a game that ramps up in difficulty of the platform 912 00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:50.440 itself and fighting the enemies and stuff. But I think 913 00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:52.719 there's a place for both. And I'm glad that you 914 00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:55.039 know they went in this direction. I think it went 915 00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:57.159 really well for them because if you're into that more 916 00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:00.800 Collectithani kind of vibe this it really well. 917 00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:05.079 There are those like little shape based levels which are 918 00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:07.360 a little trickier. I think they're actually a lot. 919 00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:10.360 Yeah, it doesn't like the challenge levels level. 920 00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:13.800 That's when the other kind of like minor, very minor, 921 00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:16.280 minor gripe I had is some of those challenge levels 922 00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:20.320 they aren't based on like the I feel like there's 923 00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.400 a few of them where there's points where, if you're 924 00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:24.840 doing it for the first time you wore one hundred 925 00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:27.880 percent die because it will do something where it's like, oh, 926 00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:30.840 I have no idea that there was gonna be a 927 00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.280 wall straight, you know, as the camera flips over or 928 00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:36.519 something like that. And I found that kind of annoying 929 00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:38.440 because there were a few where it was like multiple 930 00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:40.519 of those where it's like, oh, I had no idea 931 00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:43.199 there would be a requirement for me to do this 932 00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:47.159 because you didn't like telegraph in any ways. 933 00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:51.880 For me, the rap up between the normal levels and 934 00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:56.280 the challenge levels, there is a big gap in difficulty 935 00:49:56.719 --> 00:49:59.880 there that is not like smoothed out at all. Even 936 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:03.800 in Super Mario Wonder is that the name of that game? 937 00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:08.400 Yeah, ye, Brothers one. 938 00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:13.360 That's why in that one they're the secret stuff. It 939 00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:16.760 still raps up per world, right, like you still have 940 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:19.719 really easy ones and then there's like medium difficulty ones 941 00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.079 and then they're or at least that's what it feels like. 942 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:23.719 I don't know, Sean, is that. 943 00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:27.199 It's not it does a better job, it's it's all 944 00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:29.239 that game is also laid out in a weird way 945 00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:32.360 where the easy, medium, and hard levels are like all 946 00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:35.920 scattered around, so it doesn't that one That's not issue 947 00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:37.519 I had with Wonder is it didn't feel like a 948 00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:42.239 natural curve upward. And that's where, like I feel, classic 949 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:45.039 video games, you know, like say even way back in 950 00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:48.039 the day to like a Super Mario World, I think 951 00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:51.519 had a good natural increase in difficulty all the time, 952 00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:53.880 you know, Mario three and into the three D erow 953 00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:57.159 with like sixty four, it progressively got more challenging as 954 00:50:57.159 --> 00:51:01.119 the game went on. Now I think that I guess 955 00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:03.719 part of it is accessibility, but they are more focused 956 00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:06.280 on making sure that anyone can skip apart that they 957 00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:07.920 don't want to, so that they can get to the 958 00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:11.639 rest at the same time, like I think even kids, 959 00:51:11.719 --> 00:51:13.639 which is like, let's be real that a lot of 960 00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:16.599 the target demographic for this it's you know, older people 961 00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:19.000 like us who grew up playing platforms and love them 962 00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:22.119 and kids and I kids will figure it out, is 963 00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:24.239 how I always think of it, Like I see my 964 00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:27.719 younger family members, they figure these games out. They'll get 965 00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:30.800 there eventually, Like if they want to and you give 966 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:32.519 them the time, they'll figure it out. So I think 967 00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:35.039 there's a middle ground that can be reached, and I 968 00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:37.320 think a lot of these games aren't quite there yet. 969 00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:40.360 But yeah, I'd just like to see more of a 970 00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:44.519 more of an increase in difficulty in the game as 971 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:48.679 a whole, rather than separating out really difficult levels from 972 00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:52.079 like you know, this pretty easy Early World two level 973 00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:52.760 that you're on, you. 974 00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:55.280 Know, Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, I do like those 975 00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:57.679 challenge levels quite a lot. I just say they do 976 00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:01.280 have some frustrating design that feels. 977 00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:02.280 You could just say it's horseshit. 978 00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:08.480 But yeah, I was kind of surprised that maybe they 979 00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:10.840 will do this later on, like they didn't add like 980 00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:13.519 a multiplayer option, Like I feel like it's just a 981 00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:15.719 matter of time before before. 982 00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:17.840 The multiplayer we're going to get the leader boards in 983 00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:20.760 an update, which is the thing I really care about anyways, 984 00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.920 you know, being Jeff and I didn't know Dan at 985 00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:28.559 the time, but we were all doing those astrobot from 986 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.000 things like Crazy then, and I'm still not sure if 987 00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:33.639 it's like we're just getting those challenge levels and speed 988 00:52:33.679 --> 00:52:36.519 run format for it's like new levels meant for that, 989 00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:38.599 and I'm not sure that's the other part. 990 00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:41.519 Like I do often think of like the Domino meme 991 00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:45.119 where it's like the small Domino is grub yelling at 992 00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:48.239 Dan over astro speed runs, and then the big Domino 993 00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:50.480 is me having a job in games media. 994 00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:58.360 Thout I do they introduce multiplayer to the game. I 995 00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:00.400 think it would be really cool to, yeah, have that 996 00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:02.920 kind of I realized that it can be tricky with 997 00:53:03.079 --> 00:53:06.559 the way the game is or the the actual platform 998 00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:07.760 frame as such. 999 00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:10.920 I just like, I think you just select all the 1000 00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:15.679 astro in the computer and then command see and then command. 1001 00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:17.119 VV and then two guys. 1002 00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:20.159 That's how you do it, so it shouldn't be that hard, think, 1003 00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:21.440 I think. 1004 00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:28.000 That's a thing that's astrobots uhen situation. 1005 00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:30.920 I think they changed the camera angle though, like that 1006 00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:33.639 would go a long way, because it already it does 1007 00:53:33.719 --> 00:53:35.840 feel a lot to me like there is elements of 1008 00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:38.920 Super Mario three D world in here. So I think 1009 00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:40.559 if you did like zoom out the camera a little 1010 00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:43.239 bit to have that more isometric view. I'll, like say, 1011 00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:46.239 the sack Boy game. I think I think you could 1012 00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:47.400 just do that for multiplayer. 1013 00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:49.519 I think it would be tricky for some of the 1014 00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:53.039 current levels, just because the parts of it need to 1015 00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:55.039 be framed in a very specific way for it to 1016 00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:58.039 have that like cinematic kind of almost you know, set 1017 00:53:58.079 --> 00:54:01.159 piece moments. So I guess if they could figure out 1018 00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:03.880 a way of like shifting the camera around so it 1019 00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:06.880 you know, gives both players that experience, that could work. 1020 00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:10.000 But I wouldn't be surprised if they like introduced multiplayer 1021 00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:12.239 with their own set of levels, and I like these 1022 00:54:12.280 --> 00:54:14.360 other multiplayer levels, the. 1023 00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:15.800 Cookies and Cream Special World. 1024 00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:24.880 Yeah, what. 1025 00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:23.039 Come on. 1026 00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:26.360 I'm not delusional though, so I am. 1027 00:54:26.840 --> 00:54:28.800 That's a mistake here. 1028 00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:33.360 Uh, good game play. 1029 00:54:33.360 --> 00:54:37.639 It probably the best, some might say. 1030 00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:41.559 Might yeah, some might say it is the best. Mike 1031 00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:47.079 and Sean, you've been playing MARVSUS Capcom Fighting Collection, Arcade Classics. 1032 00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:49.840 Right, it's Marvel, Baby, it is Marvel. 1033 00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:51.159 West Coast for where you're at. 1034 00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:54.440 I so, I I haven't actually gotten to play a 1035 00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:57.199 ton because you know, online is kind of difficult to 1036 00:54:57.239 --> 00:54:59.840 do with. Uh, this pre really stuff, and I couldn't 1037 00:54:59.840 --> 00:55:02.039 have people over because of COVID, so you know, playing 1038 00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:04.519 just Arcade mode was it isn't always the most exciting 1039 00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:06.679 thing in the world. But even then, uh, you know, 1040 00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:09.039 I've mostly just been spending time mars A caak On two, 1041 00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:10.920 which is just one of my favorite fighting games ever, 1042 00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:13.800 and it is still just so much fun. That game 1043 00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:19.800 is just such a hyper visual stimulation. Yes, right, and 1044 00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:21.599 just all these teams you can make, Like I decided 1045 00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:24.119 I'm going to do a team of nothing but women 1046 00:55:24.280 --> 00:55:34.519 in hats, so that's finally Yes, yes, it's Ruby Hart, Cami, Muddle, Balentine. 1047 00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:37.119 That's that's that's my team. And I'm like, I'm gonna 1048 00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:40.039 get real good with this team just going through God, 1049 00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:43.320 just you know, because I had a team I played 1050 00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:45.480 this game most of the time. It was Captain America 1051 00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:49.039 Reu because I was a basic normy uh and the 1052 00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:52.840 guy from the Battle Butts game Gin so he was like, oh, 1053 00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:54.639 I'm going to really change things up by by going 1054 00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:56.559 out about it with complete different characters because there are 1055 00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:58.159 I mean, that was the big appeal of this game 1056 00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:00.559 when I was a kid. There's just so many characters, 1057 00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:02.880 more than I could have ever thought possible. 1058 00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:05.800 Marvel two is basically an asset dump. They just took 1059 00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:08.920 like everything that they had made before put into one game, 1060 00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:11.199 and if you original characters to tie it all together. 1061 00:56:11.360 --> 00:56:13.760 And yeah, that's that was a big criticism of it 1062 00:56:13.800 --> 00:56:17.840 back in the day was that they it wasn't super original. 1063 00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:19.719 It's a lot of stuff that you had already seen 1064 00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:21.480 in other games, just I'll put into this one. But 1065 00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:23.880 looking back on now, it is cool to just have 1066 00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:25.920 this game with I forget the exact count, but like 1067 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:27.280 fifty five characters or whatever. 1068 00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:30.760 Gosh, back when I had the Dreamcast, you had to 1069 00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:32.960 unlock half of them.

Well, I mean, first of all, 1077 00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:54.519 my Marvel two team is just some combination of like Cyclops, Venom, 1078 00:56:54.800 --> 00:56:58.360 iron Manru and Felicia just whoever. I'm feeling that because. 1079 00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:03.480 You did Iron me an infinite. I haven't tried it yet, uh. 1080 00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:06.280 Not consistently, but yeah, I did get in a match 1081 00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:07.920 the RD night with my friend because I had a 1082 00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:10.840 buddy over to help me like test everything out, like, 1083 00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:14.119 you know, because these games are meant to be played 1084 00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:16.320 with a friend. Like sure, it is fun to do 1085 00:57:16.760 --> 00:57:19.960 just an arcade run with your favorite team, your free 1086 00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:22.480 character or whatever, but really like send down with your 1087 00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:25.440 buddy or going online with your buddy is the way 1088 00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:27.719 to go. And so we're just sitting there. I get 1089 00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:30.039 I did get a match because I practice it one time, 1090 00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:33.039 Like how hard is this? It's actually pretty easy once 1091 00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:36.199 you know how to do it? Is it? It felt good? 1092 00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:39.800 Like I we I'm playing on PC, so like we 1093 00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:42.880 already you know, would have advantage with input delay and everything. 1094 00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:44.920 And people are worried about that because it is emulation. 1095 00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:47.880 But people who you know, got some hands on at 1096 00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:51.039 EVO and stuff said yeah, from what we tried and 1097 00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:54.079 what we felt like, it felt good, Like it felt 1098 00:57:54.519 --> 00:57:57.800 noticeably less laggy than other emulation efforts in recent times. 1099 00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:00.480 So I think this is this is it? This is 1100 00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:02.880 like what people have been looking for. What's unicky? 1101 00:58:03.519 --> 00:58:05.280 Is it a viable strategy to have three of the 1102 00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:05.840 same guy? 1103 00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:12.280 You can't. You usually can't do that unless you do 1104 00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:16.599 like three characters that are basically the same in different outfits, 1105 00:58:16.679 --> 00:58:19.159 Like you know, ve spider Man, what. 1106 00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:20.679 Do you want three of Nikki? 1107 00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:23.360 Like three spider Man's is fun? 1108 00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:26.480 Well, there are two Wolverines that are like practically the same. 1109 00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:28.639 You can play as bone Claw or at a ment 1110 00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:29.800 Woverine at. 1111 00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:33.880 Least basically just properties. You can also do similar stuff 1112 00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:36.440 in like Marvel three, where you know Virgil and Dante 1113 00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:39.920 very different special moves, but like broadly speaking similar place the. 1114 00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:42.920 Same guy, Mike, can you do the Iron Man in Infinite. 1115 00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:45.880 No, I haven't tried yet.

Crank the up, make sure everyone around 1121 00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:03.199 because that is the video that will teach you how 1122 00:59:03.239 --> 00:59:03.599 to do. 1123 00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:07.440 The never actually watched the video space right now. I 1124 00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:09.400 feel like he doesn't know I call him. 1125 00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:11.000 Mike, so I don't know what you guys are looking 1126 00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:11.519 at us all. 1127 00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:35.719 This is a strange video camera million views. 1128 00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:29.960 That the game rules. Yeah, I'm I haven't talked about 1129 00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:32.800 much in passing because I am still kind of waiting 1130 00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:35.800 for the online to go live with everyone playing, Yes, 1131 00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:37.639 And it's that way we can really get a test 1132 00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:40.199 of the net code in all these games like Marvel 1133 00:59:40.239 --> 00:59:42.400 two with rollback and you don't have to do any 1134 00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:45.079 emulation funkiness. That's going to be really appealing to a 1135 00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:46.679 lot of people. So I want to see what that's like. 1136 00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:48.880 And you gotta all play. We got to all play. 1137 00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:49.679 And I want to play something. 1138 00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:51.360 You know, I've only really done MBC too, but I 1139 00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:54.880 want to play some XI Meum versus Street Fighter, the Atom, 1140 00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:56.079 some Punisher, come. 1141 00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:57.880 On, Yeah, to play the Punish again. 1142 00:59:58.840 --> 00:59:59.039 Yeah. 1143 00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:03.360 I'm excited though, because that's like, yeah, that's one thing 1144 01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:05.159 in there for you if you are more of a 1145 01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:07.559 solo players. Just putting in the Punisher beat him up 1146 01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:10.719 games like a neat addition that they didn't have to do, 1147 01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:13.000 but they just decided because they were like almost one 1148 01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:16.079 of the remaining Marvel games that we did, so why 1149 01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:17.119 not put it in there? 1150 01:00:17.159 --> 01:00:19.079 You know, isn't it weird that they did a Punisher 1151 01:00:19.079 --> 01:00:21.199 beat them up like before any of these fighting games, 1152 01:00:21.239 --> 01:00:23.840 and Punisher has never been in one of the fighting 1153 01:00:23.880 --> 01:00:25.239 games ever. 1154 01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:28.800 Yeah, I mean, like Punisher is so violent that, like 1155 01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:29.480 I he. 1156 01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:32.119 Would look like people. Yeah, he would be out of 1157 01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:35.920 place in that. Speaking of Punisher, congratulations to John Burnhor 1158 01:00:36.079 --> 01:00:40.760 for his first over Emmy.

A lot of times you say 1213 01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:24.920 Spider Man, the first thing I think of is maybe 1214 01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:35.239 the sprite Spider Spider's web throw Max Spider, Maxims Spider. Yeah, 1215 01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:40.800 one for I think that's one of the best win 1216 01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:44.239 quests ever. One for JJ God, I still have marks 1217 01:03:44.280 --> 01:03:46.039 are so good in these games. 1218 01:03:46.039 --> 01:03:50.760 Like, yeah, that's what I loved about Marvel Versus Capcom three. 1219 01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:52.960 I think like Marvel Versus Capcom three when it comes 1220 01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:56.440 to like pures Fans Service is the best game ever made. 1221 01:03:56.639 --> 01:03:59.920 Why they did it? Yeah, And that was like when 1222 01:03:59.920 --> 01:04:03.719 I review The Infinite I was like, the game is 1223 01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:07.559 enjoyable and it's interesting from a mechanical perspective. They just 1224 01:04:07.719 --> 01:04:11.840 don't have any of the riz like the Marvel Riz 1225 01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:13.440 that the NVC three had. 1226 01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:17.119 Mar Marvel Infinite I'll die on this cell is the 1227 01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:21.840 best playing Marvel versus Capcom game, but it has no soul. Yeah. 1228 01:04:22.519 --> 01:04:25.679 So have you seen the that person that's doing like 1229 01:04:25.719 --> 01:04:30.000 a Maxidilian fund? Yeah, yeah, yeah funded it right. 1230 01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:33.559 I just some of the devs too, seeing some of 1231 01:04:33.559 --> 01:04:36.239 those things that they're doing, which if anyone doesn't know, yeah, 1232 01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:39.199 Marvel versus Capcom Infinite and Beyond, I don't know about 1233 01:04:39.199 --> 01:04:42.440 that name x but they are completely overhauling the visuals 1234 01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:44.320 of the game to look like a comic book, like 1235 01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:47.039 it's soli shaded like an Art System Works game. 1236 01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:47.239 And. 1237 01:04:49.239 --> 01:04:50.719 Balanced stuff and whatnot to. 1238 01:04:50.960 --> 01:04:53.280 Yeah, so they're doing two versions of that. It's good. 1239 01:04:53.440 --> 01:04:55.760 One side of it is going to be just a 1240 01:04:55.880 --> 01:04:58.599 visual overhaul and then the other side is where they're 1241 01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:02.239 adding in some balance changes maybe in the long term, 1242 01:05:02.320 --> 01:05:05.440 some new characters and stuff like that. It's it's bringing 1243 01:05:05.440 --> 01:05:06.079 it back. 1244 01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:08.559 That was the weirdest thing without that had no X Men, 1245 01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:11.320 because that was when they were like really in a spatty, 1246 01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:13.760 bitchy mood about the X Men not being in the MCU. 1247 01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:15.880 So it's like you can't play X men in the game, Like, 1248 01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.440 do you know how this series started? 1249 01:05:19.159 --> 01:05:19.639 Exactly? 1250 01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:20.639 Man, it's a little weird. 1251 01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:24.000 Yeah, I cannot wait for that? Is it? Is it 1252 01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:25.320 community edition? 1253 01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:30.840 That's just a Marves Capcom Infinite and Beyond Infinite. 1254 01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:34.239 Yeah. I think they were doing like sort of a 1255 01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:35.840 buzz light Year thing because Disney. 1256 01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:42.119 It all comes back around, by the way I tweets earlier, 1257 01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:45.480 I want I want Scrowge McDuck and Marves's Capcom four 1258 01:05:45.519 --> 01:05:47.199 And it's not as crazy as it sounds. 1259 01:05:47.719 --> 01:05:49.840 Oh so there's there's that would be sick. 1260 01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:56.400 I just completely ignore what you said that. I think 1261 01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:58.599 there's like two versions of it, because the one that 1262 01:05:58.639 --> 01:06:01.559 I was looking at was Marvel is Capcom Ultimate Mouth 1263 01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:03.559 versus Capcom three Community editions. 1264 01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:07.199 Oh for three? Yea three? 1265 01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:13.119 Like like they've done things like add Gambit to three, right, 1266 01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:14.599 like fans have done that and whatnot. 1267 01:06:14.920 --> 01:06:18.360 Oh, there's so many custom characters in three. That's for 1268 01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:20.880 years now. People have been adding it or since they 1269 01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:23.559 figured out how to get into the code, because that's 1270 01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:26.760 an empty framework game, figuring out how to like add 1271 01:06:26.840 --> 01:06:30.239 characters to that roster and stuff. Once that damn broke 1272 01:06:30.719 --> 01:06:34.440 just all the custom characters. And that's insane because something 1273 01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:37.599 they'll do is they'll because they haven't figured out how 1274 01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:40.440 to add new animations, because you know that's the development 1275 01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:42.719 then you need to like find space in the game's 1276 01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:46.960 code for these animations. They string together down to the 1277 01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:51.599 frame level animations of other characters, like all that data 1278 01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:54.079 and they string it together to give characters new moves 1279 01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:56.320 in that Yeah, Marvel, it's. 1280 01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:59.679 Like I'm watching I'm watching the Thing fight Cyclops hair 1281 01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:03.079 and it's just it just did a domemo move move. 1282 01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:07.360 But it still doesn't look weird. It looks legit. Like 1283 01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:10.360 if you didn't know that the Thing isn't in this 1284 01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:12.920 game originally, you'd just be like, yeah, it's the thing 1285 01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:14.679 fighting reed Richards, Well. 1286 01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:15.760 The things that ever been in any of them, I 1287 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:18.239 always wanted the thing that'd be fun. I think that 1288 01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:20.159 I like the Thing more than the Hawk. There I 1289 01:07:20.199 --> 01:07:20.599 said it. 1290 01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:22.000 Wow, truth come out. 1291 01:07:22.480 --> 01:07:27.400 Damn, Michael Chicks fan anything else you guys been playing, 1292 01:07:27.400 --> 01:07:28.199 your folks can playing. 1293 01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:32.199 I just want to talk about the Dreamcast briefly because 1294 01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:35.880 the twenty fifth anniversary of the US launch nine nine 1295 01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:36.480 was yesterday. 1296 01:07:36.559 --> 01:07:38.440 Happy oh yay. 1297 01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:41.880 So I plugged my very yellow to Dreamcast back in 1298 01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:44.760 got some of my games together.

And yeah, 1406 01:12:40.199 --> 01:12:43.039 it was became our like party machine for most of 1407 01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:45.760 high school when we weren't playing Smashing Mario Kart because 1408 01:12:46.039 --> 01:12:49.159 all those arcade conversions of stuff we mentioned, you know, 1409 01:12:49.319 --> 01:12:52.239 fl Blitz and Powerstone and all the different fighting games. 1410 01:12:52.279 --> 01:12:54.199 It's just so much fun to play with your friends. 1411 01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:58.000 Well time, what great time it was, What a great 1412 01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:05.319 tam it was. I have been playing a game as 1413 01:13:05.319 --> 01:13:10.079 well that I'll talk very briefly about because I am disclosure. 1414 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:16.039 I am in this game, so right, so take everything 1415 01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:22.399 I say with the appropriate amount of shilling defensive measures. 1416 01:13:22.479 --> 01:13:26.039 But it's a game called Elsie.

I 1419 01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:37.479 did not realize how prominent my character was. I started 1420 01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:41.319 playing it, and their character is right there immediately and 1421 01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:45.520 is the biggest character in the fucking game, like size 1422 01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:51.960 size wise, it's like like Jesus. But yeah, Elsie is 1423 01:13:52.000 --> 01:13:55.800 a kind of like this. It's like a super Mega 1424 01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:59.960 Manny inspired roguelike action platform and it's got like procedure 1425 01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:04.920 procedurally generated levels, but is one of those games that 1426 01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:09.279 feels very classically like action platform you where it's very 1427 01:14:09.399 --> 01:14:12.439 hyperkinetic and it way too many things are coming at 1428 01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:14.439 you on the screen. You're trying to like jump in 1429 01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:17.000 between them, and you don't know what power up you're 1430 01:14:17.000 --> 01:14:19.560 gonna have when you enter a room next, and that 1431 01:14:19.640 --> 01:14:22.000 kind of stuff. But it's a it's a lot of fun. 1432 01:14:22.039 --> 01:14:23.399 I find it. I found it to be a lot 1433 01:14:23.399 --> 01:14:27.119 of fun. It's an indie game, so like you know, 1434 01:14:27.279 --> 01:14:30.720 it has those sensibilities. Kind of reminds me a little 1435 01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:33.359 bit of like Celeste than that kind of vibe. And 1436 01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:35.640 I've been playing it for a little bit every night 1437 01:14:35.680 --> 01:14:37.720 before bed, just doing a few runs here and there, 1438 01:14:37.760 --> 01:14:39.880 and it's a it's a good time. 1439 01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:40.119 Man. 1440 01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:42.720 Yeah, I think I'm gonna play a bit more of it. 1441 01:14:42.800 --> 01:14:44.800 I don't know if I'll finish it. It feels like 1442 01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:46.560 at a certain point I'm just gonna be like, Okay, 1443 01:14:46.560 --> 01:14:48.760 I've had my feel of this, but I know that 1444 01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:51.399 they're going to be people who It feels like it's 1445 01:14:51.439 --> 01:14:53.880 built for speed running as well in a lot of ways. 1446 01:14:55.039 --> 01:14:57.960 But yeah, very like short, not sure on sweet, but 1447 01:14:58.000 --> 01:15:03.439 like simple but fun, elegant, classically classically styled action platformers. 1448 01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:06.680 So it came out today. They sent me a code 1449 01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:09.000 because you know, I'm in the game, so they're like, hey, 1450 01:15:09.039 --> 01:15:11.800 what do you think?

There was definitely some fire. 1461 01:15:46.479 --> 01:15:47.199 Is she pivoting? 1462 01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:48.560 Yeah? 1463 01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:50.439 Dark Lucy Era I. 1464 01:15:52.880 --> 01:15:56.760 Had like it was the UK equivalent of a theater 1465 01:15:56.840 --> 01:16:00.399 kid coming up, which might surprise some people's. 1466 01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:03.720 Or like not even a little bit, a single bit 1467 01:16:03.960 --> 01:16:05.880 is that I was. 1468 01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:07.720 I was like originally going to go into like trying 1469 01:16:07.760 --> 01:16:09.399 to act and stuff like that, but then my mom 1470 01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:11.720 was like, are you for You're going to be a lawyer, 1471 01:16:11.800 --> 01:16:15.439 And I was like, okay, great, Okay, my mom is 1472 01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:23.720 like quadruple disappointed, exactly exactly your mom my dad will 1473 01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:26.880 be able to commiserate together. But then, like when I 1474 01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:28.479 started doing what I did, like I kind of like 1475 01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:30.760 put a lot of that kind of those those kind 1476 01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:36.199 of skills or like abilities away and then like coming 1477 01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:39.479 back and doing this getting in a poof, I was like, oh, ship, 1478 01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:41.800 I used to do for fun all the time. 1479 01:16:42.560 --> 01:16:45.119 Yeah, there's like there was a moment where I did 1480 01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:46.760 it and I was like, what if I did more 1481 01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:50.239 of that? It felt felt like it felt like natural again, 1482 01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:52.359 it felt like what it was like remembering what you 1483 01:16:52.399 --> 01:16:53.279 loved as a child. 1484 01:16:54.159 --> 01:16:59.319 What if I did more of this moment? Yeah, that was. 1485 01:16:58.640 --> 01:17:02.520 Being king back in. I think to like past versions 1486 01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:06.119 of self is like so important. I really don't think 1487 01:17:06.159 --> 01:17:08.960 that people do it enough. Yeah it is is one 1488 01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:11.399 of those Yeah, yeah, I think it's really. 1489 01:17:11.319 --> 01:17:14.960 Important yeah, this looks super up my alley. I'm a 1490 01:17:14.960 --> 01:17:18.920 big mega man guy. So yeah, colorful retro action platformer 1491 01:17:19.199 --> 01:17:21.760 with my best friend Tam voicing a character. How can 1492 01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:27.039 I not L E L s I E Yes, yeah. 1493 01:17:27.239 --> 01:17:30.520 Again again, I am in the game, so all disclosures 1494 01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:34.800 kind of stuff and yeah, it's what you're you gonna say, Schael. 1495 01:17:36.199 --> 01:17:38.520 I played when they did like a next Fest demo 1496 01:17:38.720 --> 01:17:43.239 or something a while back, and I oftentimes like the 1497 01:17:43.239 --> 01:17:46.279 the rogue like elements of games like these are a 1498 01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:47.880 bit of a turn off for me, just because I'm 1499 01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:49.279 not a huge fan of rogue likes. I think when 1500 01:17:49.279 --> 01:17:51.159 they're done really well, like a Haites like, you know, 1501 01:17:51.239 --> 01:17:53.680 that's something I can get more into. But even just 1502 01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:55.960 playing this, I was like, oh, just it feels good 1503 01:17:55.960 --> 01:17:58.199 to play and everything. So maybe, yeah, maybe this will 1504 01:17:58.199 --> 01:18:00.760 be one of those words Bill Banks in the world 1505 01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:02.760 for me. And yeah, I'm looking forward to checking this 1506 01:18:02.760 --> 01:18:03.119 one out. 1507 01:18:03.319 --> 01:18:05.039 Yeah, if if you see me, let me know what 1508 01:18:05.079 --> 01:18:09.399 you think of the voices, and yeah, maybe maybe I'll 1509 01:18:09.399 --> 01:18:10.720 do try and do some more. If you o there 1510 01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:14.800 and you need voices done, let me know. I'll relive 1511 01:18:14.880 --> 01:18:18.640 my childhood dreams for a little bit we're gonna head 1512 01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:21.119 over to the news. A lot of stuff been happening. 1513 01:18:21.640 --> 01:18:24.520 But before we do that, we're gonna take a quick, 1514 01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:28.520 as John would say, bricky break, and then come back 1515 01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:30.359 soon and you're gonna hear a couple of words from 1516 01:18:30.399 --> 01:18:36.520 our sponsors. We are back from the bricky break, and 1517 01:18:36.720 --> 01:18:39.159 you know what that means. It's time for some hot 1518 01:18:39.279 --> 01:18:43.680 video game news. We've got a lot to get through, 1519 01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:46.840 so we're gonna kick it over to Mitch Manati is 1520 01:18:46.880 --> 01:18:50.680 gonna lead us through the news. Take it away. 1521 01:18:51.800 --> 01:18:55.239 Look at me, Look at me, I'm the Jeff Grubb. Now, hey, 1522 01:18:55.840 --> 01:18:59.399 Placesation five Pro. That's real. It's launching on November seventh 1523 01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:05.199 for seven hundred dollars. It will not include a disk drive. 1524 01:19:05.399 --> 01:19:07.520 Later you'll be able to buy one separately. It's also 1525 01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:11.640 not even coming with that vertical stand By the way, 1526 01:19:12.279 --> 01:19:15.720 Sony says, we developed PS five Pro with deeply engaged 1527 01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:18.760 players and game creators in mind, as many have asked 1528 01:19:18.760 --> 01:19:22.159 for a console that runs even higher fidelity graphics with 1529 01:19:22.439 --> 01:19:25.520 smoother frame rates at sixty fps. It's kind of three 1530 01:19:25.640 --> 01:19:29.239 key features are talking about here, an upgraded GPU at 1531 01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:35.600 advanced ray tracing, and AI driven upscaling. Uh, there's kind 1532 01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:38.640 of a lot here, but that price, I think is 1533 01:19:38.720 --> 01:19:41.800 sticking out more than anything else. How are we feeling 1534 01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:45.520 about a seven hundred dollars video game console that doesn't 1535 01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:46.840 include a disk drive? 1536 01:19:47.319 --> 01:19:51.800 This is for nobody, and like I mean it as 1537 01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:55.079 sincerely as I do when I. 1538 01:19:55.079 --> 01:19:59.119 Say it here because I've I've said before, But yeah, 1539 01:19:59.119 --> 01:19:59.279 I go. 1540 01:19:59.359 --> 01:19:59.399 Go. 1541 01:20:01.119 --> 01:20:03.960 If you look at the ways, and even if you 1542 01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:07.520 don't have like a super solid understanding, just think about 1543 01:20:07.560 --> 01:20:13.000 your own living room, right. Your TV is probably too small, 1544 01:20:13.520 --> 01:20:16.119 is how you feel about it, And you also probably 1545 01:20:16.319 --> 01:20:19.720 are sitting too far away from it, right, So if 1546 01:20:20.039 --> 01:20:22.680 all of the stuff that they talked about in this 1547 01:20:22.880 --> 01:20:27.199 video is literally shit on the periphery, right, they showed 1548 01:20:27.239 --> 01:20:31.159 they zoomed in on crowd little guys in Ratchet and 1549 01:20:31.239 --> 01:20:36.560 Clank being higher fidelity, they zoomed in on leaves on trees, 1550 01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:40.279 being a little bit nicer. The frame rate at in 1551 01:20:40.319 --> 01:20:43.319 fidelity is at sixty frames a second. But Mark Cerney 1552 01:20:43.439 --> 01:20:46.279 right before he said that was like three quarters of 1553 01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:48.399 the people who are playing video games on this box 1554 01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:51.720 right now are already playing it in performance mode, so 1555 01:20:51.760 --> 01:20:54.720 it's already at sixty frames a second, these games are 1556 01:20:54.760 --> 01:21:00.159 not going to look seven hundred dollars better then they 1557 01:21:00.439 --> 01:21:02.920 do right now. You do not need to go buy 1558 01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:08.520 one of these at all, you like it is no 1559 01:21:08.600 --> 01:21:12.239 one asked for this. This is a product for nobody. 1560 01:21:13.039 --> 01:21:17.199 Yeah, I mean like it's always gonna be as a 1561 01:21:17.199 --> 01:21:19.119 as a like a not even a half step, but 1562 01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:22.439 like a small step forward. By its very nature, it's 1563 01:21:22.479 --> 01:21:25.800 never going to be meaningfully different from the previous piece 1564 01:21:25.840 --> 01:21:29.199 of hardware, because those are reserved for actual numbered new 1565 01:21:29.239 --> 01:21:33.039 consoles or like generation or leaps, which happen far more rarely. 1566 01:21:34.079 --> 01:21:37.880 Even with that in mind, it's very difficult to see 1567 01:21:37.920 --> 01:21:41.920 the value proposition of a PlayStation five Pro if you 1568 01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:46.560 have a PlayStation five already, and even if you don't 1569 01:21:46.600 --> 01:21:50.960 have a PlayStation five, I feel like you're probably more 1570 01:21:51.079 --> 01:21:54.039 likely to buy a Pro, but the disparity in price 1571 01:21:54.119 --> 01:21:58.520 is probably going to push you to buy a PlayStation five. 1572 01:21:58.800 --> 01:22:02.760 And I don't think that is something that I don't 1573 01:22:02.800 --> 01:22:06.800 believe that Sony isn't aware of that. Not always is 1574 01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:11.600 a piece of hardware like this designed to be a 1575 01:22:11.720 --> 01:22:19.000 kind of a transition for everyone. It's usually designed, in 1576 01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:24.520 this case, especially for a certain selection or section of 1577 01:22:24.600 --> 01:22:28.359 the gaming audience and non gaming audience that have the 1578 01:22:28.439 --> 01:22:33.119 disposable income and the kind of personality and interest in 1579 01:22:33.760 --> 01:22:37.279 having the optimum stuff. But those people, the whales as 1580 01:22:37.359 --> 01:22:40.960 we'll call them, they'll probably do what they need to. 1581 01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:43.479 They probably fact did the maths, They did the calculations, 1582 01:22:43.520 --> 01:22:45.479 and were like, this is what we will probably get 1583 01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:49.680 revenue wise from a limited selection of audience. I think 1584 01:22:49.760 --> 01:22:53.279 what's probably what is more likely and what usually happens 1585 01:22:53.399 --> 01:22:56.159 is the release of a new console or a new 1586 01:22:56.199 --> 01:22:59.800 piece of hardware, even when it's expensive, has an overall 1587 01:22:59.840 --> 01:23:04.640 like rejuvenating effect on the interest of that entire platform. 1588 01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:08.520 So the intent isn't to sell millions and millions of 1589 01:23:08.560 --> 01:23:12.159 PlayStation five pros. The intent is to have a PlayStation 1590 01:23:12.279 --> 01:23:16.079 five Pro on the market. So people reconsider whether they 1591 01:23:16.119 --> 01:23:19.359 need a PlayStation five now, and a significant portion of 1592 01:23:19.359 --> 01:23:22.319 them probably will say yes because there's a GTA coming out, 1593 01:23:22.640 --> 01:23:26.199 and they will likely buy a PlayStation five, probably the 1594 01:23:26.399 --> 01:23:29.880 standard or the slim more than the Pro. But that 1595 01:23:30.199 --> 01:23:33.000 does the trick and so they get their money. They 1596 01:23:33.039 --> 01:23:36.439 get an increase in sales of the other versions of 1597 01:23:36.479 --> 01:23:40.800 the PlayStation, which ordinarily would be done through dropping the 1598 01:23:40.840 --> 01:23:42.800 price as well, I don't think Sony's in the in 1599 01:23:42.840 --> 01:23:44.800 the market to do that. I think they're more likely 1600 01:23:44.840 --> 01:23:47.840 to do bundles. But it will also get them a 1601 01:23:48.039 --> 01:23:51.039 bigger cash flow or like a bigger injection of cash 1602 01:23:51.399 --> 01:23:55.479 from the whales. And I imagine this console is engineered 1603 01:23:55.760 --> 01:23:58.560 so that it's the margins are still good for them 1604 01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:01.000 where they're not spending a crap the amount of extra 1605 01:24:01.119 --> 01:24:04.840 money getting components that are so hard to find, the 1606 01:24:04.920 --> 01:24:08.479 manufacturing costs of this are probably not as not much 1607 01:24:08.560 --> 01:24:12.439 higher than the current PlayStation files to make for sure. Yeah, 1608 01:24:12.479 --> 01:24:15.039 and that seems like it's born out in what that 1609 01:24:15.079 --> 01:24:17.520 thing can do, So they're probably not losing money on 1610 01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:20.199 making a new powerful console being there. So I feel 1611 01:24:20.239 --> 01:24:22.479 like they've got enough to gain that it doesn't make 1612 01:24:22.520 --> 01:24:24.439 sense to us. We probably don't want it, but from 1613 01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:26.279 a business perspective, it's going to payoff. 1614 01:24:27.399 --> 01:24:29.359 Yeah, And Jean correct me if I'm wrong, Like these 1615 01:24:29.479 --> 01:24:35.239 are just the natural year over year performance gains that 1616 01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:40.800 these right, So this is this is assuming nobody ever 1617 01:24:40.920 --> 01:24:44.800 touched assuming nobody ever touched any of this stuff. These 1618 01:24:44.840 --> 01:24:47.840 performance gains would have come if the PlayStation five came 1619 01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:51.039 out this year instead of coming out in twenty twenty, right, 1620 01:24:51.319 --> 01:24:53.159 it would have looked like this, right. 1621 01:24:53.600 --> 01:24:55.039 Okay, so yeah, this is this is my time in 1622 01:24:55.079 --> 01:24:57.720 shine Is as a tech guy on this episode, like 1623 01:24:57.760 --> 01:25:00.880 breaks down this down for you. So what we're seeing 1624 01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:04.199 here is that they sort of just added to the 1625 01:25:04.239 --> 01:25:08.720 component's onmie PS five. That they could add to CPU 1626 01:25:08.920 --> 01:25:14.079 is not something you can easily beef up without breaking compatibility. 1627 01:25:14.439 --> 01:25:19.399 You would need to plan ahead with that. It's why 1628 01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:23.319 even like the Xbox one X last generation didn't have 1629 01:25:23.399 --> 01:25:26.760 a huge boost in CPU. It did. But that's also 1630 01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:30.039 tying into Microsoft's you know very much focusing on backwards 1631 01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:32.800 compability thing. The way these machines are made is that 1632 01:25:32.840 --> 01:25:37.319 the compatability is baked into the chip itself. PlayStation works 1633 01:25:37.359 --> 01:25:39.880 with AMD to make sure that the compataibility is there. 1634 01:25:39.960 --> 01:25:43.439 So they couldn't have a huge boost in CPU, so 1635 01:25:43.479 --> 01:25:46.479 they needed to figure out other ways to accomplish their goals, 1636 01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:48.840 and so they beefed up the GPU because that's something 1637 01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:51.520 that's a little more agnostic. You can beef that up 1638 01:25:51.520 --> 01:25:55.000 a little more independently. And then they're relying on PSSR 1639 01:25:55.119 --> 01:26:00.000 PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, which is their version and video 1640 01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:05.520 DLSS MD's FSR all these upscaling methods that you find 1641 01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:09.119 on PC. This is playsation's version of that, and so 1642 01:26:09.159 --> 01:26:12.000 they're relying on that too. And this is why this 1643 01:26:12.079 --> 01:26:14.279 is something that drilled me nuts about the presentation because 1644 01:26:14.319 --> 01:26:17.520 like Mark Serney is a very very smart man, an 1645 01:26:17.560 --> 01:26:23.600 incredibly intelligent guy, and so seeing him kind of do 1646 01:26:23.720 --> 01:26:26.479 a lot of marketing speak kind of drove me up 1647 01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:28.520 the wall a little bit because when he was like, 1648 01:26:28.560 --> 01:26:32.760 you know, the way the presentation was framed basically was 1649 01:26:33.039 --> 01:26:37.560 you will get fidelity stuff at higher frame rates. That 1650 01:26:37.680 --> 01:26:39.479 is not what's happening here. And you know, I don't 1651 01:26:39.479 --> 01:26:42.560 want to put words in anyone's mouth, but this system 1652 01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:44.800 basically is what we've known it to be from all 1653 01:26:44.800 --> 01:26:48.479 the leaks, especially because this was in their developer portal 1654 01:26:48.560 --> 01:26:50.720 for the past few months. Like we've just known what 1655 01:26:50.760 --> 01:26:53.840 this is, and so you know, sites like Digital Foundry 1656 01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:56.680 and then like amateur stuff like being Jeff talking about 1657 01:26:56.680 --> 01:26:58.840 this on Game This mornings. We've been able to break 1658 01:26:58.840 --> 01:27:01.159 this down and figure this stuff, and we can tell 1659 01:27:01.640 --> 01:27:05.880 it's going to be performance mode running at higher fidelity 1660 01:27:06.239 --> 01:27:09.399 or than fidelity mode running at better frame rates. And 1661 01:27:09.439 --> 01:27:13.159 that's important distinction because they are taking that lower quality 1662 01:27:13.199 --> 01:27:16.640 base image and then upscaling that to the four K 1663 01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:19.359 canvas of your TV to make it look better, which 1664 01:27:19.880 --> 01:27:24.720 has a whole bunch of like really just a few 1665 01:27:25.079 --> 01:27:28.520 minor issues with that, because if you have a higher 1666 01:27:28.960 --> 01:27:31.319 base canvas to work with, then they bump up the 1667 01:27:31.359 --> 01:27:33.199 frame rate. That's what you do when you upgrade the 1668 01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:36.600 CPU in your computer. You get those gains while having 1669 01:27:36.640 --> 01:27:39.760 that very natural looking image. They are doing things here 1670 01:27:39.840 --> 01:27:44.239 that are taking was essentially a lower performing piece of 1671 01:27:44.279 --> 01:27:47.600 hardware in the PS five and figuring out smart ways 1672 01:27:47.760 --> 01:27:52.560 to upscale it. But at seven hundred dollars, which is 1673 01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:54.239 going to be the real sticking point for a lot 1674 01:27:54.239 --> 01:27:58.159 of people, especially with no disc drive, which some might say, well, 1675 01:27:58.199 --> 01:28:00.479 you know, like especially in compared to this to say 1676 01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:03.199 the PC, which usually you don't have a disk drive 1677 01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:09.640 attach that the average pro level console buyer, I feel 1678 01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:12.560 wants a disk drive as least as an option. So 1679 01:28:12.600 --> 01:28:15.800 the fact that they have to spend what is it 1680 01:28:16.079 --> 01:28:19.119 US dollars, it would be, yeah, seven hundred and eighty 1681 01:28:19.199 --> 01:28:24.119 dollars at that point, it's hard to justify that over 1682 01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:26.359 and this is something that like being Mike and Grubb 1683 01:28:26.399 --> 01:28:28.359 have talked about it on fe different shows now, like 1684 01:28:28.960 --> 01:28:31.720 having a PC in your living room even like I 1685 01:28:31.800 --> 01:28:34.880 know that's so much more worth to set up initially, 1686 01:28:35.479 --> 01:28:38.319 but so much more flexibility. And you look at PS 1687 01:28:38.359 --> 01:28:41.359 five pro. This is very specifically made for people who 1688 01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:45.920 never want to touch settings menus and they just want 1689 01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:48.600 the best of the best. And that market, I feel, 1690 01:28:48.640 --> 01:28:51.000 is just shrinking and shrinking and shrinking as people are 1691 01:28:51.039 --> 01:28:54.560 moving to alternate options like PC. When Nikki's you started 1692 01:28:54.560 --> 01:28:57.359 out with like this console is for nobody. I have 1693 01:28:57.479 --> 01:29:00.760 been thinking, like, you know, all exaggeration side, who is 1694 01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:06.159 this for a very much shrinking audience? Here it feels 1695 01:29:06.199 --> 01:29:09.039 somewhat misguided, but I guess what Tam was saying of 1696 01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:11.520 like sort of just boosting the PlayStation brand and having 1697 01:29:11.560 --> 01:29:15.680 that expensive premium option available there to like sort of 1698 01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:19.319 a rising tide raise all ships. I guess I just 1699 01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:21.880 wonder how much that's going to actually pay off for them. 1700 01:29:21.960 --> 01:29:24.159 It's important to note that like games have to be 1701 01:29:24.439 --> 01:29:26.840 you know, manually optimized for this thing, and there's only 1702 01:29:27.039 --> 01:29:30.439 like thirteen or so announced for that right now, and 1703 01:29:30.479 --> 01:29:32.239 there's like, you know, big ones missing from this, like 1704 01:29:32.239 --> 01:29:37.880 foun Fantasy sixteen for examples not on this list. You 1705 01:29:37.880 --> 01:29:39.079 know it's important that. 1706 01:29:39.319 --> 01:29:40.800 Sorry to cut you off, Mike, but just to answer 1707 01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:43.800 real quick, it will be like PS four Pro, where 1708 01:29:43.840 --> 01:29:48.479 like game older games using an older SDK can use 1709 01:29:48.560 --> 01:29:52.079 PSSR at least, so they can't take older games without 1710 01:29:52.119 --> 01:29:54.920 like completely overhauling them. So I think we'll have good 1711 01:29:54.920 --> 01:29:56.199 support and eventually. 1712 01:29:55.880 --> 01:29:58.439 Yeah, there's something here called what PS five pro game 1713 01:29:58.479 --> 01:30:01.319 boost it says, which can apply to more than eighty 1714 01:30:01.439 --> 01:30:05.159 five hundred backward compatible PS four games playable on PS 1715 01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:07.720 five Pro also, so there should be some kind of 1716 01:30:07.800 --> 01:30:09.920 standard improvement. Again, I'm not sure how big it is. 1717 01:30:10.920 --> 01:30:13.039 I always wondered just exactly what the marketing was going 1718 01:30:13.119 --> 01:30:14.960 to be, and I think that they did kind of 1719 01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:18.079 identify the problem or the sticking point for a lot 1720 01:30:18.079 --> 01:30:21.199 of people that they don't like having to choose between 1721 01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:24.560 fidelity modes and performance modes. Right, They really spelled that out, 1722 01:30:25.119 --> 01:30:28.560 and they kind of, as he said, Sean, they kind 1723 01:30:28.600 --> 01:30:30.479 of like made it like, oh, we have a solution here, 1724 01:30:30.840 --> 01:30:32.479 and it is a question of like, oh, is this 1725 01:30:32.560 --> 01:30:35.600 really the solution or is it is it kind of 1726 01:30:35.600 --> 01:30:37.359 a stop gap, And if it's a stop gap, I 1727 01:30:37.359 --> 01:30:38.920 don't know, if I want to pay seven hundred dollars 1728 01:30:38.960 --> 01:30:40.680 for a stop gap. 1729 01:30:40.520 --> 01:30:42.960 Yeah, it feels like a solution to me. 1730 01:30:43.119 --> 01:30:45.720 It feels like a workaround. And you know, I get 1731 01:30:45.760 --> 01:30:47.479 people want consoles. They don't want to just hear, hey, 1732 01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.600 go get a PC instead. But the argument, one of 1733 01:30:50.640 --> 01:30:53.199 the main arguments for consoles force for so long is that, well, 1734 01:30:53.199 --> 01:30:56.000 it's just much cheaper because these things are streamlined to 1735 01:30:56.039 --> 01:30:59.600 be consoles. And when we're getting to seven hundred dollars now, 1736 01:30:59.640 --> 01:31:02.880 it's like, man, it's not that much cheaper, Like it's 1737 01:31:02.920 --> 01:31:04.680 a point. It's just going to continue to drive more 1738 01:31:04.680 --> 01:31:08.279 and more people, I think, to experiment more with PC gaming, 1739 01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:11.000 which has already been the trend. And I know, I 1740 01:31:11.039 --> 01:31:13.760 know PlayStations maybe a little bit embolden because they don't 1741 01:31:13.760 --> 01:31:17.439 feel as much pressure from Xbox. This is still it's 1742 01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:19.479 pretty wild again to even go as far as to 1743 01:31:19.560 --> 01:31:21.880 non included disk drive, which would at least make the 1744 01:31:21.960 --> 01:31:23.960 product feel more premium, and I know it makes it 1745 01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:28.960 more expensive to produce too. You know, it's it's interesting. 1746 01:31:29.039 --> 01:31:30.800 I'm very curious to see how well it sells, because 1747 01:31:31.000 --> 01:31:32.880 you know, there is still a world where it sells well. 1748 01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:36.239 There is a very passionate high end PlayStation fan base 1749 01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:38.720 that will just want to buy the new thing, like 1750 01:31:38.840 --> 01:31:42.319 you know, Like that's why things like the PlayStation Portal, 1751 01:31:42.359 --> 01:31:45.359 which to me looks like it has limited appeal but 1752 01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:49.479 apparently sells pretty well. So I guess even though I 1753 01:31:49.680 --> 01:31:52.840 don't quite understand this machine, I guess I don't want 1754 01:31:52.840 --> 01:31:54.199 to count it out yet. 1755 01:31:55.880 --> 01:31:57.880 Yeah, I think they'll sell a ton of them, like 1756 01:31:57.960 --> 01:32:00.439 I And that's the thing. Like, to be very clear, 1757 01:32:00.520 --> 01:32:03.399 it will sell out. There will be listings for this 1758 01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:06.720 thing on stock X. People are going to pay twelve 1759 01:32:06.840 --> 01:32:10.680 hundred dollars for one because it will be out of 1760 01:32:10.720 --> 01:32:16.680 stock or whatever. But like because people like to buy things, Yeah, exactly, 1761 01:32:16.680 --> 01:32:19.000 that's like that's why, Like I don't think there will 1762 01:32:19.039 --> 01:32:22.520 be people it will sell out. I think it's just 1763 01:32:22.640 --> 01:32:26.760 like a conversation of whether or not fundamentally it is 1764 01:32:26.960 --> 01:32:33.760 worth the legwork for these devs to do the work 1765 01:32:33.800 --> 01:32:37.479 required to like get this to run, get games to 1766 01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:41.039 run better, to have this experience be like only a 1767 01:32:41.079 --> 01:32:43.560 little bit better than it is going to be on 1768 01:32:43.600 --> 01:32:47.520 your PlayStation five as it currently exists, when you could, 1769 01:32:47.840 --> 01:32:53.239 for around eight hundred dollars probably build a better PC 1770 01:32:54.600 --> 01:32:56.600 I'm not sure it's going to do more. 1771 01:32:56.760 --> 01:33:00.399 Well, Like no, but we didn't EXI on this because 1772 01:33:00.439 --> 01:33:03.359 people me and Mike talked about this on podcast ther 1773 01:33:03.479 --> 01:33:07.079 night where people were like, oh, well, starting PC is 1774 01:33:07.079 --> 01:33:09.600 fifteen hundred dollars and we're like no. I had to 1775 01:33:09.840 --> 01:33:11.520 jump in because I was like, I'm on PC part 1776 01:33:11.520 --> 01:33:14.399 picker right now. You can build basically a PS five 1777 01:33:14.479 --> 01:33:17.079 like the equivalent parts for six hundred dollars you buy 1778 01:33:17.359 --> 01:33:19.199 and video equivalent for seven hundred. 1779 01:33:19.239 --> 01:33:19.439 Yeah. 1780 01:33:19.439 --> 01:33:21.640 I think that that and video equivalent will give you 1781 01:33:21.720 --> 01:33:23.880 DLSS which is better than PSSR. 1782 01:33:24.199 --> 01:33:27.279 So, I mean, the audience you're talking to the thing 1783 01:33:27.359 --> 01:33:32.680 that they're buying isn't a contant. If they're spending money. 1784 01:33:32.760 --> 01:33:36.199 They're spending money in a large way on future proofing 1785 01:33:36.279 --> 01:33:42.000 their gaming experience. And at eight hundred dollars, the PC 1786 01:33:42.159 --> 01:33:45.039 that you're building is on a clock. I feel like, 1787 01:33:45.319 --> 01:33:48.479 very very quickly, maybe it will get you. Maybe it 1788 01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:52.319 will get you what you know, through the current console 1789 01:33:52.479 --> 01:33:56.039 generation to the finish line at the same time, reaching 1790 01:33:56.039 --> 01:33:58.439 the finish at the same time as the PS five pro. 1791 01:33:59.079 --> 01:34:02.479 But the issue that the PAS five pro is attempted 1792 01:34:02.520 --> 01:34:06.199 to dress, which is taking the choice out of making 1793 01:34:06.800 --> 01:34:10.600 settings and display decisions is going to be very much 1794 01:34:10.680 --> 01:34:13.359 present on a eight hundred dollar PC. 1795 01:34:13.720 --> 01:34:16.000 That's the Yeah, that's the other side. Like no one 1796 01:34:16.439 --> 01:34:20.479 the person who is going to walk into Costco and say, 1797 01:34:20.560 --> 01:34:23.600 I want to buy this PlayStation five pro is also 1798 01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:26.840 the same person who is going to bulk at the 1799 01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:30.279 idea of plugging a Windows PC into their television, right, 1800 01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:33.439 Which isn't to say that it is not an easy thing. 1801 01:34:33.479 --> 01:34:36.640 It's an easy thing for us, but like people just 1802 01:34:36.680 --> 01:34:38.560 want to buy a thing that connects to the TV 1803 01:34:38.720 --> 01:34:43.199 and runs, well, yes, I think my issue is that 1804 01:34:43.479 --> 01:34:46.960 those people would be equally served by not spending seven 1805 01:34:47.039 --> 01:34:51.560 hundred American dollars buying a regular PlayStation five and then 1806 01:34:51.600 --> 01:34:54.159 moving on with their lives. They don't need to actually 1807 01:34:54.159 --> 01:34:56.560 spend the extra what is it, two hundred and fifty 1808 01:34:56.600 --> 01:34:58.560 dollars plus a dis drive, so an extra three hundred 1809 01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:02.560 over three hundred when they could just really could just 1810 01:35:02.600 --> 01:35:03.600 go buy a PS five. 1811 01:35:05.319 --> 01:35:09.760 But the PSP five is four years old now, by 1812 01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:11.279 the way, it's still like you know, I mean, the 1813 01:35:11.279 --> 01:35:14.199 base PS five so expensive. These systems used to get 1814 01:35:14.199 --> 01:35:16.920 price drops and now they just get Now they just 1815 01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:20.680 find ways to make them more expensive even four years later. 1816 01:35:21.199 --> 01:35:24.119 Yeah, I mean that's something that Microsoft spoke about that 1817 01:35:24.399 --> 01:35:27.479 it flew really under the radar. It's what Digital Foundry 1818 01:35:27.520 --> 01:35:29.680 was told when they got to see the Series X 1819 01:35:29.760 --> 01:35:32.319 and S early, and like, I feel like not a 1820 01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:35.079 lot of people picked up on this, but they asked, like, 1821 01:35:35.239 --> 01:35:37.640 what does a Series X slim look like, you know, 1822 01:35:37.680 --> 01:35:39.600 in the long, long term, what's your goals? Right, And 1823 01:35:39.640 --> 01:35:42.479 they're like, there won't be one. Our slim console is 1824 01:35:42.520 --> 01:35:45.880 a Series S because we can't slim this down much 1825 01:35:45.880 --> 01:35:49.880 more than it already is. Component costs are at an 1826 01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:52.920 all time high and maintaining that price, we can't like 1827 01:35:53.039 --> 01:35:56.760 find ways to cut costs and build and so you're 1828 01:35:56.760 --> 01:35:58.560 probably not going to get one. And that's what we're 1829 01:35:58.560 --> 01:36:01.239 seeing here with the PS five. Is the reason it 1830 01:36:01.279 --> 01:36:04.039 is seven hundred dollars is because it's just expensive to 1831 01:36:04.039 --> 01:36:06.520 make this stuff, even from the people who get discounts 1832 01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:10.199 on these chips. Like, the gap is closing, you know, 1833 01:36:10.640 --> 01:36:12.880 not to reference the presentator or whatever, but the gap 1834 01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:17.000 is closing between DIY stuff on the PC side and 1835 01:36:17.039 --> 01:36:20.760 the consumer great hardware in the consoles. And you two 1836 01:36:20.760 --> 01:36:25.279 are absolutely right that the at the average person wants 1837 01:36:25.279 --> 01:36:27.680 a box they plug into their TV and not have 1838 01:36:27.720 --> 01:36:31.199 think about any of this, And it is just the 1839 01:36:31.199 --> 01:36:34.800 the who is this for? That I keep going back 1840 01:36:34.840 --> 01:36:38.520 to of it. It's a small audience that has a 1841 01:36:38.560 --> 01:36:41.479 lot of money, is willing to spend all that money 1842 01:36:41.600 --> 01:36:44.520 to have the best of the best and not look 1843 01:36:44.560 --> 01:36:49.560 at alternatives, and also notices the fidelity burst that they're 1844 01:36:49.640 --> 01:36:52.279 getting for the pro And that's why this entire system 1845 01:36:52.319 --> 01:36:55.439 feels a little misguide to me is because I think 1846 01:36:55.960 --> 01:36:58.880 people have become so obsessed with numbers because they spend 1847 01:36:58.960 --> 01:37:02.239 too much on time online where Twitter is telling them 1848 01:37:02.439 --> 01:37:04.920 ten ADP is not good enough. If you don't have 1849 01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:08.000 native four K, you're trash and you should feel bad 1850 01:37:08.520 --> 01:37:11.199 if you just look at the image on your TV 1851 01:37:11.760 --> 01:37:14.640 and look at how like it's the system is already 1852 01:37:14.640 --> 01:37:18.119 doing a pretty good job upskilling these things. You'll be 1853 01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:21.159 happy with what you have. You just need to like 1854 01:37:21.199 --> 01:37:23.359 stop obsessing over the numbers as much. And I know 1855 01:37:23.399 --> 01:37:25.760 it's not you know, not to apply it to everyone, 1856 01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:28.880 because I myself am someone who does see the differences 1857 01:37:28.920 --> 01:37:31.600 and cares about the differences. But that's also why I 1858 01:37:31.640 --> 01:37:35.600 got off console hardware. So it's just it's I keep 1859 01:37:35.640 --> 01:37:38.119 scratching my head a little bit, even if I totally 1860 01:37:38.239 --> 01:37:41.720 understand where everything is lining up in terms of this 1861 01:37:41.800 --> 01:37:43.640 hardware landing for a specific audience. 1862 01:37:43.720 --> 01:37:48.159 Yeah, and it's it's also like this specific thing. To 1863 01:37:48.239 --> 01:37:51.479 that point, Sean is running into a broader issue with 1864 01:37:51.560 --> 01:37:54.680 the way that people buy things, right, Like, Noah, there 1865 01:37:54.880 --> 01:38:00.600 is a Sony is aware that it's for four people, 1866 01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:04.880 but they can't sell it like it's only available like 1867 01:38:05.000 --> 01:38:08.000 only for four people. I have to say that it 1868 01:38:08.039 --> 01:38:11.880 is like such a big important thing that you will 1869 01:38:11.880 --> 01:38:16.560 be missing out if you do not get it. And 1870 01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:21.199 that is endemic to this car. It is endemic to computer. 1871 01:38:21.319 --> 01:38:23.680 It is endemic to phone, like it is just how 1872 01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:28.079 phone the huge in phone. It's just like it fucking 1873 01:38:28.239 --> 01:38:31.239 sucks the one the thing you have already is fine. 1874 01:38:31.319 --> 01:38:34.119 Yesterday I watched that iPhone event and I was like, 1875 01:38:35.600 --> 01:38:38.039 damn gang, y'all got nothing over there. 1876 01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:40.520 And they spent millions and millions of dollars to convince 1877 01:38:40.560 --> 01:38:43.800 you that you need a marginally better camera and people 1878 01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:44.479 will eat it up. 1879 01:38:44.800 --> 01:38:45.520 Yeah. 1880 01:38:46.039 --> 01:38:48.640 I'm still used to a Moore's Law world, right, and yes, 1881 01:38:48.640 --> 01:38:50.000 aren't in that world anymore? 1882 01:38:50.079 --> 01:38:53.600 Like yeah, like there's no jump like. The innovation is 1883 01:38:54.119 --> 01:38:56.880 we invented a contextual button on the side of the 1884 01:38:56.920 --> 01:38:59.079 phone that you can use to take pictures and no 1885 01:38:59.119 --> 01:39:02.479 one already fuckings at the camera that I've also Apple camera. 1886 01:39:03.239 --> 01:39:06.079 The post crossing isn't. 1887 01:39:06.359 --> 01:39:06.840 Don't get me. 1888 01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:12.239 I really bought an iPhone for the video capabilities and 1889 01:39:12.279 --> 01:39:14.960 I took a still image and I looked at it. 1890 01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:18.039 I was like, what is this trash fire compared to 1891 01:39:18.079 --> 01:39:19.319 the budget pixel that. 1892 01:39:19.359 --> 01:39:20.479 But here's what it is. 1893 01:39:20.600 --> 01:39:23.520 So this is exactly. I had a problem with my 1894 01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:26.560 previous phone where I was like, there is something wrong 1895 01:39:26.600 --> 01:39:29.399 with this camera and I don't know it. I took 1896 01:39:29.439 --> 01:39:31.720 it to the Apple store and they did rantest and 1897 01:39:31.720 --> 01:39:34.079 they're like, it says there's nothing wrong. But the Apples 1898 01:39:34.239 --> 01:39:37.239 employee was like, this, these pictures clearly look ship, so 1899 01:39:37.239 --> 01:39:39.359 there's something wrong. We just can't diagnose it. 1900 01:39:39.800 --> 01:39:43.800 So I got a new phone process and it was still. 1901 01:39:43.600 --> 01:39:46.800 Bad and I'm not Oh my god, I robbed. 1902 01:39:47.680 --> 01:39:49.720 I'll do I'll do it quick. I'll get on my 1903 01:39:49.760 --> 01:39:54.039 little soapbox. The reason that Apple if you watch this 1904 01:39:54.119 --> 01:39:57.479 event yesterday and this is this is the same. This 1905 01:39:57.600 --> 01:40:00.960 is the same conversation that Sony did with this PlayStation stuff. 1906 01:40:01.159 --> 01:40:03.560 It's all tiny shit that you already are not really 1907 01:40:03.560 --> 01:40:08.760 paying attention to. Whenever Apple shows you a photo that 1908 01:40:08.960 --> 01:40:13.520 was taken on the phone. Now, in this video yesterday 1909 01:40:13.560 --> 01:40:16.479 that they did, it was all the prettiest people you've 1910 01:40:16.479 --> 01:40:20.159 ever fucking seen in these like the prettiest locations you've 1911 01:40:20.159 --> 01:40:26.920 ever seen, or hyper studio like studio lighting, studio technology, 1912 01:40:27.039 --> 01:40:34.680 studio equipment, professionally lit, professionally like formatted environments to let 1913 01:40:34.720 --> 01:40:39.520 the camera do that thing very well. The camera does. 1914 01:40:39.760 --> 01:40:43.920 If you spend ten thousand dollars on location and then 1915 01:40:43.960 --> 01:40:48.039 another fifteen thousand dollars on equipment, Yeah, dog, the camera's 1916 01:40:48.039 --> 01:40:51.039 gonna do fucking great. If you're in a bar and 1917 01:40:51.079 --> 01:40:53.520 the bar is dark and you're trying to take a 1918 01:40:53.520 --> 01:40:56.720 picture of your black or brown friend, the camera's gonna 1919 01:40:56.800 --> 01:40:57.960 have a fucking stroke. 1920 01:40:58.319 --> 01:40:59.520 It doesn't know what to do. 1921 01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:03.560 Or if you are trying to do something similar outside, 1922 01:41:03.840 --> 01:41:05.920 the camera will say, well, there's too much light here. 1923 01:41:06.199 --> 01:41:08.039 Got to get rid of these shadows. And that's why 1924 01:41:08.039 --> 01:41:11.359 the photos on your iPhone look insane, because there's so 1925 01:41:11.439 --> 01:41:15.640 much processing happening that it removes the like artifice of 1926 01:41:15.680 --> 01:41:18.199 taking a picture anyway, I'm done, thank you so much. 1927 01:41:18.800 --> 01:41:21.479 Like it was bad enough that I like bought a 1928 01:41:21.600 --> 01:41:24.159 like a Panasonic Loo Mix just to be like, yeah, 1929 01:41:24.319 --> 01:41:26.279 buy a camera. Yeah, I'm just going I'm just buy 1930 01:41:26.279 --> 01:41:27.520 a camera. Yeah. 1931 01:41:27.720 --> 01:41:30.640 Interesting that y'all weren't happy with the performance the thing 1932 01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:33.640 you bought, so you what saw it an alternative in 1933 01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:36.079 a different realm that you were really used to, but 1934 01:41:36.119 --> 01:41:40.039 you learn how to. Interesting how that can sometimes pass. Anyways, 1935 01:41:40.039 --> 01:41:41.159 back to the place I think. 1936 01:41:41.680 --> 01:41:45.279 I think that the it's very very telling that and 1937 01:41:45.640 --> 01:41:49.960 I feel like it's a good illustration of how essential 1938 01:41:50.039 --> 01:41:54.079 and how meaningful a change. The PS five pro is 1939 01:41:54.079 --> 01:41:57.199 is that they didn't have a new game to be like, 1940 01:41:57.600 --> 01:41:59.000 look at what this thing can do. 1941 01:41:59.399 --> 01:42:02.039 It was just because they can't Astroo's not even one 1942 01:42:02.039 --> 01:42:02.960 of the enhanced games. 1943 01:42:03.079 --> 01:42:07.920 Yeah they can't do that yet, or they really can't, because. 1944 01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:08.079 Then it never will. 1945 01:42:08.239 --> 01:42:11.479 Yeah, it creates a kind of like a dispirity and 1946 01:42:11.600 --> 01:42:15.000 like a divide between different PlayStations. 1947 01:42:15.079 --> 01:42:17.640 But it's even the same reason they should do it. 1948 01:42:17.720 --> 01:42:20.800 On PS four, the games they shows a different generation. 1949 01:42:20.880 --> 01:42:23.840 Yeah, the games they showed were existing games, but like 1950 01:42:24.199 --> 01:42:28.720 the the changes weren't noticeable enough for me to go like, 1951 01:42:29.399 --> 01:42:30.239 oh shit. 1952 01:42:30.720 --> 01:42:32.079 This is huge. 1953 01:42:32.239 --> 01:42:34.840 Well, Hogwarts Legacy was even still just at thirty frans 1954 01:42:34.880 --> 01:42:35.279 per second. 1955 01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:35.720 I think. 1956 01:42:37.399 --> 01:42:41.760 Raymond Stree Shadows is like the one game that's actually 1957 01:42:41.880 --> 01:42:43.199 upcoming that they should I think. 1958 01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:45.319 Yeah, that gets into a part of my little soapbox. 1959 01:42:45.359 --> 01:42:47.960 Here is the fact that this was all shown off 1960 01:42:48.079 --> 01:42:54.319 initially in a YouTube video that notoriously destroys all those 1961 01:42:54.359 --> 01:42:56.600 little details that your PS five pro is going to 1962 01:42:56.680 --> 01:42:59.199 give you. Is like, look, I know there's not many 1963 01:42:59.359 --> 01:43:02.359 better options there, but that drove me up the law 1964 01:43:02.439 --> 01:43:05.640 because that's why you see, like them doing the digital 1965 01:43:05.680 --> 01:43:08.760 foundaries tell zoom like so many people accuse like that 1966 01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:11.079 that channel of like, oh, well they zoom in on 1967 01:43:11.199 --> 01:43:13.640 the details that nobody will ever notice, and they're like, well, no, 1968 01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:16.520 we do it because most people watching it on their phone, 1969 01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:20.399 and because YouTube destroys the video because of compression, so 1970 01:43:20.520 --> 01:43:22.479 we zoom it insight. You can see the details that 1971 01:43:22.520 --> 01:43:25.319 you might normally see on your TV, but like without 1972 01:43:25.359 --> 01:43:27.039 it being like the mess. 1973 01:43:27.359 --> 01:43:29.720 The thing is, Sean, they aren't gonna see it on 1974 01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:32.199 their TV because they have a five hundred They have 1975 01:43:32.279 --> 01:43:36.119 a five hundred dollars TCL four K the shittiest HDR 1976 01:43:36.199 --> 01:43:40.520 you've ever seen, special and it's like, no, no, they're 1977 01:43:40.560 --> 01:43:44.359 not gonna fucking notice. If you have an LGO lead, yeah, 1978 01:43:44.479 --> 01:43:47.159 sure absolutely you might see this shit. But like the 1979 01:43:47.239 --> 01:43:49.560 pixel density on some of these panels that they are 1980 01:43:49.640 --> 01:43:51.880 shipping out right now that they are calling four K, 1981 01:43:52.520 --> 01:43:55.079 that they are calling having HDR, that they are saying 1982 01:43:55.119 --> 01:43:58.279 has Adobe vision and whatever the fuck those panels are 1983 01:43:58.439 --> 01:44:01.920 ass they are terrible. You cannot see anything badly. 1984 01:44:02.000 --> 01:44:04.119 So I thought they at least didn't use the words 1985 01:44:04.359 --> 01:44:06.359 eight K. And by the way, it's still wild that 1986 01:44:08.000 --> 01:44:10.560 ever on the box for the base PlayStation five they 1987 01:44:10.600 --> 01:44:12.359 got rid of it because they're like, well that was 1988 01:44:12.399 --> 01:44:12.760 a lie. 1989 01:44:13.199 --> 01:44:15.880 I mean that just that brings us all full circle, Nikki, 1990 01:44:15.920 --> 01:44:17.840 because like, like we said, the top of the segment here, 1991 01:44:18.079 --> 01:44:21.399 it's all marketing, like they need to like make everyone 1992 01:44:21.520 --> 01:44:24.079 think that you need this thing, even though no, this 1993 01:44:24.279 --> 01:44:27.159 is the the person who needs a PS five pro. 1994 01:44:27.439 --> 01:44:29.640 You know, this is all video games. Nobody needs any 1995 01:44:29.680 --> 01:44:31.640 of this, let's be hear. But the person who needs 1996 01:44:31.640 --> 01:44:34.319 a PS five pro in their chain for their entertainment 1997 01:44:34.439 --> 01:44:37.920 setup is so so small because you need a really 1998 01:44:37.960 --> 01:44:41.039 good TV. You need to be able to spend willing 1999 01:44:41.159 --> 01:44:44.399 to spend this money. It's just it's not to just 2000 01:44:44.600 --> 01:44:47.479 completely destroy the very cool tech that they have here. 2001 01:44:47.600 --> 01:44:50.760 But it's just not I think a great idea in general. 2002 01:44:50.960 --> 01:44:54.720 I know, and you know what, I look forward to 2003 01:44:54.840 --> 01:44:57.520 having a PlayStation five Pro. I'm very glory. 2004 01:44:59.560 --> 01:44:59.920 Because I. 2005 01:45:01.800 --> 01:45:02.720 One frame bell. 2006 01:45:02.800 --> 01:45:03.319 I'll take it. 2007 01:45:03.600 --> 01:45:09.239 Yeah, here's the giving us bloodborne with this, yeah or something. 2008 01:45:09.359 --> 01:45:11.560 I just know that nobody is going to care because 2009 01:45:11.680 --> 01:45:13.960 I've watched I watched a lot of NFL over the 2010 01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:18.800 weekend because the season started ESPN and college football. Also 2011 01:45:19.039 --> 01:45:25.439 over the course of the last two weeks, ESPN MHM online. 2012 01:45:26.000 --> 01:45:30.560 Like if you have YouTube TV or like Fubo or whatever, 2013 01:45:30.920 --> 01:45:34.960 or you're using the ESPN app, is still sending seven 2014 01:45:35.000 --> 01:45:39.000 to twenty P video to your four K screen. You 2015 01:45:39.079 --> 01:45:45.560 know who doesn't fucking complain? Anybody like me? Us, I complain. 2016 01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:49.920 I'm pissed about it. Nobody says ship. Nobody gives the ship. 2017 01:45:49.920 --> 01:45:54.720 Because they they don't know. They arguing, yeah, exactly, it 2018 01:45:54.800 --> 01:45:55.479 doesn't matter. 2019 01:45:55.680 --> 01:45:57.920 It's moving out in a way that it's just not 2020 01:45:58.079 --> 01:46:01.199 gonna give a ship, like you're not. Yeah, it's not something. 2021 01:46:03.119 --> 01:46:05.720 Yeah, Well, at the end of the day. The moral 2022 01:46:05.760 --> 01:46:08.640 of the story is instead by Apple mac Pro wheels 2023 01:46:08.680 --> 01:46:09.520 for seven hundred dollars. 2024 01:46:09.600 --> 01:46:09.800 Thanks. 2025 01:46:09.920 --> 01:46:11.800 That's exactly it. That's the better you see your money. 2026 01:46:12.239 --> 01:46:12.800 I just found it. 2027 01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:15.520 I got some other headlines here ready. 2028 01:46:15.640 --> 01:46:18.640 A USB poll in it? That's what my hand on 2029 01:46:18.720 --> 01:46:19.039 the table? 2030 01:46:19.159 --> 01:46:21.680 What is this? That's the USB? 2031 01:46:21.800 --> 01:46:23.319 Because it charge your phone. 2032 01:46:23.359 --> 01:46:25.439 I'm gonna charge it. What kinds of ship would this? 2033 01:46:25.640 --> 01:46:25.760 Well? 2034 01:46:25.920 --> 01:46:28.319 Is your desk plugged in? Hold on? Did you plug 2035 01:46:28.359 --> 01:46:30.840 your desk in and then not question why you had 2036 01:46:30.880 --> 01:46:31.680 to plug the desk? 2037 01:46:32.520 --> 01:46:33.479 It's a standing death. 2038 01:46:33.560 --> 01:46:38.680 So I figured it's okay, okay, okay, up and down switch. True, 2039 01:46:39.279 --> 01:46:42.600 But I just love the idea that like your desk 2040 01:46:42.840 --> 01:46:45.079 has no other features. They were like, well, there's a 2041 01:46:45.119 --> 01:46:47.039 plug in it. Gotta plug boy in. 2042 01:46:49.000 --> 01:46:52.880 Boy Soft shares plunge again at the urges company to 2043 01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:56.920 go private. It's from Tom Ivan and VI mistake. The 2044 01:46:56.960 --> 01:46:59.880 Assassin's Creed publisher's share price fell almost ten percent during 2045 01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:04.079 trading yesterday before closing down seven point thirteen percent at 2046 01:47:04.119 --> 01:47:06.680 thirteen point sixty seven euros. Has fallen by more than 2047 01:47:06.760 --> 01:47:09.079 fifty percent over the last twelve months and now sits 2048 01:47:09.119 --> 01:47:11.720 close to a ten year low. The company's share price 2049 01:47:11.760 --> 01:47:15.880 had already declined significantly earlier this month, reportedly driven by 2050 01:47:15.920 --> 01:47:18.920 a combination of a poorer than expected launch for Star 2051 01:47:18.960 --> 01:47:21.800 Wars Outlaws and a sharp decline and interest in free 2052 01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:25.279 to play shooter X Defiant. On Monday, hedge fund AJ 2053 01:47:25.439 --> 01:47:29.239 Investments publish an open letter calling for strategic and structural 2054 01:47:29.439 --> 01:47:35.079 changes at Ubisoft. It feels like Ubisoft has been skirting 2055 01:47:35.119 --> 01:47:39.439 with disaster for a long time here. It's been maybe 2056 01:47:39.520 --> 01:47:41.920 not a great year for them. Remember Skull and Bones 2057 01:47:42.079 --> 01:47:45.199 that was this year? Was this? Yeah? Beyond Good and 2058 01:47:45.239 --> 01:47:50.960 Evil too is going to come out someday maybe where's Yeah. 2059 01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:53.760 One thing I'm confused about these stories. They keep talking 2060 01:47:53.760 --> 01:47:56.159 about the poor launch of Star Wars Outlaws. I don't 2061 01:47:56.159 --> 01:47:58.720 know where numbers are for that at all, So I'm 2062 01:47:58.760 --> 01:48:01.279 not sure, like we know it's a poor lote, not 2063 01:48:01.359 --> 01:48:02.960 that I don't believe it. I just wonder where that's 2064 01:48:02.960 --> 01:48:04.079 coming from. But I don't know. How are we all 2065 01:48:04.119 --> 01:48:05.880 feeling about Ubisoft these days? 2066 01:48:07.239 --> 01:48:10.119 The people there seem great and lovely. It seems as 2067 01:48:10.159 --> 01:48:12.399 if the people who run the business Ubisoft do not 2068 01:48:12.560 --> 01:48:16.800 know how to run a business. Yes, So I mean, 2069 01:48:16.960 --> 01:48:21.279 like I fucking like sorry, really like really when like 2070 01:48:21.399 --> 01:48:24.279 shares plunged, Like all that means is that like a 2071 01:48:24.439 --> 01:48:27.199 rich person's making less money or it's like about to 2072 01:48:27.279 --> 01:48:29.199 make less money. And then the way that they will 2073 01:48:29.239 --> 01:48:31.479 fix that is they will lay a bunch of people off. 2074 01:48:31.600 --> 01:48:35.000 So like that, I feel like is what the next 2075 01:48:35.119 --> 01:48:35.960 beat here is. 2076 01:48:36.199 --> 01:48:40.560 Unfortunately, Yeah, I mean like I don't really want to 2077 01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:43.039 talk about the share side of it because it's just 2078 01:48:43.840 --> 01:48:47.079 that stuff is so alienating to the people who in 2079 01:48:47.239 --> 01:48:51.239 many ways dictate the success of that company, Like the 2080 01:48:51.359 --> 01:48:53.640 average game when you talk to them about shares is 2081 01:48:53.720 --> 01:48:56.079 just going to be like where it's like widows like 2082 01:48:56.199 --> 01:48:58.840 us are into it. But so from from the perspective 2083 01:48:59.000 --> 01:49:01.760 of someone who is us looking at yourself as a 2084 01:49:01.840 --> 01:49:06.399 company that makes develop some publishers games, it feels like 2085 01:49:06.640 --> 01:49:11.199 they are in a very very stagnant place and are 2086 01:49:11.319 --> 01:49:16.079 like paralyzed by decisions that have been made previously and 2087 01:49:16.520 --> 01:49:19.760 precedent to the point where they're just not making any 2088 01:49:19.960 --> 01:49:24.399 meaningful steps forward into towards any sort of greener pasture. 2089 01:49:24.920 --> 01:49:29.079 So the entire business is currently hinging on Assassin's creed. 2090 01:49:29.439 --> 01:49:32.039 Like Assassin's Creed is the thing that is keeping that 2091 01:49:32.159 --> 01:49:35.039 company aflow, and it will likely continue to do that 2092 01:49:35.199 --> 01:49:39.359 because Assassin's Creed has proven itself to be a long 2093 01:49:39.520 --> 01:49:44.399 term franchise with a lot of adaptability and evolutionary potential, 2094 01:49:45.319 --> 01:49:50.520 and every Assassin's Creed is a person's first Assassin's Creed 2095 01:49:50.880 --> 01:49:54.319 and as a first time gaming experience, that franchise has 2096 01:49:54.439 --> 01:49:58.960 a remarkable way of capturing the imagination. And I feel 2097 01:49:59.039 --> 01:50:02.439 like that gives that franchise longevity in a way that 2098 01:50:03.119 --> 01:50:07.039 will sustain Ubisoft to a degree for a long long time. 2099 01:50:07.520 --> 01:50:10.520 But beyond that, it's a company that has been desperately 2100 01:50:10.640 --> 01:50:15.880 trying to chase trends instead of define new kind of 2101 01:50:15.960 --> 01:50:20.520 opportunities for themselves and hasn't been successful at it. Whether 2102 01:50:20.560 --> 01:50:23.680 that's the games of service stuff, the kind of micro 2103 01:50:23.760 --> 01:50:29.159 transaction stuff, the mobile stuff, the weird NFT stuff, blockchain 2104 01:50:29.239 --> 01:50:32.039 stuff that they previously got behind and have been quite 2105 01:50:32.119 --> 01:50:36.720 about since all that stuff has not meaningfully provided any 2106 01:50:37.239 --> 01:50:38.920 They don't they don't have a foot in that and 2107 01:50:39.079 --> 01:50:41.880 in those in those fields a stable footing at all. 2108 01:50:42.439 --> 01:50:46.319 The best games there's a service title they have is 2109 01:50:46.439 --> 01:50:49.199 Siege and that came out pre Games as a Service 2110 01:50:49.359 --> 01:50:51.880 rush like that was just a game that they made 2111 01:50:51.960 --> 01:50:56.199 that was very good and kept it like posts a 2112 01:50:56.359 --> 01:50:59.119 retrospectively fit into the fit into the mold of a 2113 01:50:59.199 --> 01:51:03.399 games of service. But beyond that they have the licensing games, 2114 01:51:03.439 --> 01:51:08.359 which again is like it doesn't seem to be executing 2115 01:51:08.560 --> 01:51:10.359 in a way like the Star Wars is the first 2116 01:51:10.760 --> 01:51:13.520 major license thing that they've well, I guess Avatar as well. 2117 01:51:13.680 --> 01:51:15.439 An Avatar and like should you say it made a 2118 01:51:15.479 --> 01:51:18.000 big speech, it's just not hitting in the way that 2119 01:51:18.920 --> 01:51:21.640 they A Star Wars game should hit and an Avatar 2120 01:51:21.760 --> 01:51:24.600 game should hit, and Avatar is good, like it's it's 2121 01:51:24.840 --> 01:51:27.399 an enjoyable video gaming as the Star Wars. 2122 01:51:28.159 --> 01:51:32.039 But it's just you look at those two ips and 2123 01:51:32.119 --> 01:51:34.560 then you look at the performance of those games from 2124 01:51:34.680 --> 01:51:39.119 Ubisoft and the like discussion around them, and there's a disparity. 2125 01:51:39.159 --> 01:51:41.760 There's a mismatch there, and there's something being lost along 2126 01:51:41.840 --> 01:51:44.920 the way. The best potential game that they have right now, 2127 01:51:45.079 --> 01:51:48.439 like franchise that they I feel like it's like under 2128 01:51:49.319 --> 01:51:52.800 appreciated or like under discussed that has like forward looking 2129 01:51:53.319 --> 01:51:57.960 like healthy potential is the Division And there were like 2130 01:51:58.159 --> 01:52:04.079 three games into that now the third game and the yeah, 2131 01:52:04.079 --> 01:52:07.640 and like but Division is people love that thing, but 2132 01:52:07.800 --> 01:52:10.359 like it's also very generic in a lot of ways, 2133 01:52:10.560 --> 01:52:13.319 and I wonder, like the world is moving on around them, 2134 01:52:13.399 --> 01:52:15.479 Like how is that Third Division game going to do 2135 01:52:15.560 --> 01:52:18.760 when it eventually inevitably comes out? What does Farcry look 2136 01:52:18.880 --> 01:52:23.199 like next? And I just don't see where Yeah, yeah, 2137 01:52:23.239 --> 01:52:26.680 I mean like I just don't see anything really, And 2138 01:52:26.760 --> 01:52:30.680 it's a shame because they clearly have the ability to 2139 01:52:30.960 --> 01:52:34.920 make bangers that are something different, like Prince of Persia 2140 01:52:35.840 --> 01:52:38.079 came out in January, still one of the best games 2141 01:52:38.119 --> 01:52:44.239 of this year. The problem is capitalism, their margins, their goals, 2142 01:52:44.600 --> 01:52:49.920 they're so astronomically high that there's very few games that 2143 01:52:50.039 --> 01:52:53.319 they could make that will reach the levels that will 2144 01:52:53.359 --> 01:52:57.119 push that company to meet that kind of expectation. Because 2145 01:52:57.159 --> 01:53:00.439 something like Prince of Persia everything could go right with 2146 01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:03.600 it in every single way, it probably still isn't moving 2147 01:53:03.640 --> 01:53:04.720 the needle. Follow Ubisoft. 2148 01:53:05.039 --> 01:53:11.000 They should break up and nationalize. They should free everyt 2149 01:53:11.079 --> 01:53:14.079 because Ubif's got a game studio in every fucking country, right, 2150 01:53:14.439 --> 01:53:17.000 So you just break this ship up and then every 2151 01:53:17.560 --> 01:53:20.039 country gets their own game studio. 2152 01:53:20.359 --> 01:53:23.920 Everyone gets an Ubi Soft. Yeah, a couple of things 2153 01:53:23.960 --> 01:53:27.560 I didn't make misspoke earlier. So yeah, the division Heartland 2154 01:53:27.680 --> 01:53:30.000 was that free to play thing that got canceled. I 2155 01:53:30.239 --> 01:53:34.640 think the mobile game is still happening right now. That yeah, 2156 01:53:35.000 --> 01:53:38.279 don't worry. In that letter from AJ Investments calling for 2157 01:53:38.439 --> 01:53:40.920 the changes, it urged the board to consider taking the 2158 01:53:40.960 --> 01:53:45.800 company private, implement a comprehensive cost reduction program, and optimize 2159 01:53:45.920 --> 01:53:48.800 staffing levels to be more comparable with industry leaders. 2160 01:53:48.800 --> 01:53:52.520 He's yeah right. 2161 01:53:52.840 --> 01:53:56.880 Also urges to focus on core IPS, which I guess 2162 01:53:56.960 --> 01:53:58.880 is a way of saying stop doing license stuff. It 2163 01:53:58.960 --> 01:54:03.760 consider replacing current CEO. He's gimo, No, they can't get rid. 2164 01:54:03.640 --> 01:54:07.800 Of that guy's been that guy survived so many I mean, 2165 01:54:08.000 --> 01:54:09.359 it's it's his business. 2166 01:54:09.359 --> 01:54:10.640 It's a family business. 2167 01:54:10.920 --> 01:54:13.199 Yeah, at this point, like he's not leaving until he dies. 2168 01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:15.359 No, well that's the thing, Like if you take the 2169 01:54:15.439 --> 01:54:17.960 company private, wouldn't he be more secure than ever? 2170 01:54:18.159 --> 01:54:18.199 So? 2171 01:54:18.479 --> 01:54:22.079 But like yeah, again, like you take that company private, 2172 01:54:22.199 --> 01:54:25.960 does it mean that you're in a reasonable time able 2173 01:54:26.039 --> 01:54:29.359 to operate at a level level that you know is 2174 01:54:30.439 --> 01:54:33.079 meeting expectations. No. I feel like if you take the company, 2175 01:54:33.199 --> 01:54:36.840 if iyself takes itself private, it needs to scale down everything, 2176 01:54:37.319 --> 01:54:40.960 which doesn't seem like people who are executives will very 2177 01:54:41.159 --> 01:54:43.600 very naturally be like, no, yeah, we'll just make this smaller. 2178 01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:46.920 That's not a normal executive brain. 2179 01:54:47.399 --> 01:54:49.479 No, yeah, they want to be infinite. It's like NICKI 2180 01:54:49.600 --> 01:54:52.880 and Ye Assassin's Creed infinity is. They don't talk about 2181 01:54:52.920 --> 01:54:54.760 that that much recently. I feel like, but that's the 2182 01:54:54.920 --> 01:54:57.520 future of Assassin's Creed, right, I don't really understand what 2183 01:54:57.560 --> 01:54:57.920 the hell that. 2184 01:54:58.039 --> 01:55:00.640 Is would be so well served it didn't really s 2185 01:55:00.640 --> 01:55:04.159 any video games for five years, Like if companies could 2186 01:55:04.159 --> 01:55:05.680 do that, Like if they just were like, we're going 2187 01:55:06.079 --> 01:55:09.000 out for five years and everything. 2188 01:55:08.840 --> 01:55:11.399 Is good and evil too, yes, and you'll be fine. 2189 01:55:13.119 --> 01:55:14.199 Remake what's going on? 2190 01:55:14.760 --> 01:55:17.159 Yeah, where the hell is that? I don't know. I 2191 01:55:17.199 --> 01:55:18.840 don't know. We'll see if you'd be soft guest things 2192 01:55:18.840 --> 01:55:23.279 figured out. Next headline here, family market a really important 2193 01:55:23.319 --> 01:55:26.880 focus for PlayStation CEO says. This is from Victoria Kennedy 2194 01:55:26.920 --> 01:55:32.000 at Eurogamer. Reflecting on Astrobot's recent success, Herman Holts, PlayStation's 2195 01:55:32.039 --> 01:55:35.399 recently appointed joint CEO, has now said the family market 2196 01:55:35.520 --> 01:55:38.640 is really important for us to focus on. Also, speaking 2197 01:55:38.680 --> 01:55:41.800 on the Official PlayStation Podcast, in a joint interview with 2198 01:55:41.840 --> 01:55:46.680 Astrobot's creative director Nicholas Nico Dossett. During the discussion, the 2199 01:55:46.680 --> 01:55:49.119 show's host asked if PlayStation would now consider putting more 2200 01:55:49.159 --> 01:55:51.880 of its resources behind these games with a more family 2201 01:55:51.920 --> 01:55:54.680 friendly feel, noting Lego Horizon is also set to release 2202 01:55:54.720 --> 01:55:57.239 in just a few short months. I think it's massively 2203 01:55:57.239 --> 01:56:00.359 important that PlayStation studios developed games in various genre and 2204 01:56:00.399 --> 01:56:02.119 the family market I think is really important for us 2205 01:56:02.159 --> 01:56:04.479 to focus on whole, said astro is very, very important 2206 01:56:04.479 --> 01:56:07.479 to PlayStation. He continued, Obviously, we had the pre install 2207 01:56:07.720 --> 01:56:11.039 Asho's Playroom on the PlayStation five that millions and millions 2208 01:56:11.039 --> 01:56:12.439 and millions of people have embraced in love, and I 2209 01:56:12.479 --> 01:56:14.760 think that's become a little bit of a platform to 2210 01:56:14.880 --> 01:56:17.840 launch this new game. Now. I've been critical in the 2211 01:56:17.920 --> 01:56:21.119 past for PlayStation kind of you know, once having a 2212 01:56:21.279 --> 01:56:24.079 really strong stable of family friendly games with things like 2213 01:56:24.600 --> 01:56:28.520 Crash and Spiro and Sly Cooper and you know, Retching 2214 01:56:28.600 --> 01:56:30.560 and Clank and Lighting a lot of that kind of 2215 01:56:30.560 --> 01:56:33.159 follow the wayside as they focused on the kind of 2216 01:56:33.640 --> 01:56:37.000 more prestigious story driven games they tried here and there. 2217 01:56:37.079 --> 01:56:39.720 You know, we did have sack Boys Big Adventure at 2218 01:56:39.760 --> 01:56:42.039 the PlayStation four launch he had astro pecked in there. 2219 01:56:43.279 --> 01:56:46.359 But I think that it's would be a very smart 2220 01:56:46.720 --> 01:56:51.119 thing for them to continue investing in this path. Astrobot 2221 01:56:51.159 --> 01:56:53.199 seems like a very good step forward there. There's a 2222 01:56:53.239 --> 01:56:55.159 lot of franchises that we see in there, things like 2223 01:56:55.279 --> 01:56:58.439 epe Escape that just really do see prime for a comeback. 2224 01:56:58.800 --> 01:57:00.199 I don't know, how do you all feel about out 2225 01:57:00.720 --> 01:57:03.800 the the kind of importance of that family market, which 2226 01:57:03.840 --> 01:57:06.760 again is basically the reason why Nintendo. Yeah, that's what 2227 01:57:07.640 --> 01:57:08.359 some degree. 2228 01:57:10.119 --> 01:57:16.439 They Yeah, CONGRATSI remember that kids also need stuff, like 2229 01:57:16.560 --> 01:57:21.079 good for you, cool, good luck getting the kids to 2230 01:57:21.159 --> 01:57:25.560 spend seven hundred dollars on your new box. Also like 2231 01:57:26.079 --> 01:57:27.920 like yeah, okay. 2232 01:57:27.840 --> 01:57:30.800 I mean honestly, that is a huge barrier to the 2233 01:57:30.840 --> 01:57:34.319 family market. Is a five dollars system when a three 2234 01:57:34.479 --> 01:57:35.880 hundred dollars switch or two. 2235 01:57:37.359 --> 01:57:40.760 Light Yeah, like you like not, I need to very clearly, 2236 01:57:40.760 --> 01:57:42.840 like two hundred dollars is a lot of money. But 2237 01:57:43.039 --> 01:57:47.760 like when you're thinking about investment in my child having 2238 01:57:47.800 --> 01:57:50.359 a good time and or shutting the fuck up for 2239 01:57:50.479 --> 01:57:54.880 two seconds, right, you get the same level of kids 2240 01:57:54.960 --> 01:57:57.279 shut the fuck up for two hundred dollars and you 2241 01:57:57.359 --> 01:58:01.520 get a wider library of stuff that has more that 2242 01:58:01.680 --> 01:58:06.119 is going to do more for the kid. Then there 2243 01:58:06.159 --> 01:58:09.239 are on the play station five let's count the family 2244 01:58:09.359 --> 01:58:15.279 games Astros play Room, astro Ball, back Boy, Big Adventure 2245 01:58:16.800 --> 01:58:21.399 which okay, yes, Ratchet and Clank, Elden Ring, and that's it. 2246 01:58:21.600 --> 01:58:26.039 That's there's six of them. And it's like, why would 2247 01:58:26.079 --> 01:58:28.600 you do that when you could give your kid your 2248 01:58:28.800 --> 01:58:32.239 old phone which you've already spent money on that has 2249 01:58:32.399 --> 01:58:35.560 games on it, or you can put them in front 2250 01:58:35.560 --> 01:58:38.479 of your shitty laptop which has games on it, or 2251 01:58:38.479 --> 01:58:41.640 they can play Roadblocks or whatever, like. 2252 01:58:42.039 --> 01:58:43.359 Yeah, good luck. 2253 01:58:43.560 --> 01:58:47.239 I guess it's this as well. But like bringing it back, 2254 01:58:47.319 --> 01:58:50.359 it's a this is a tickle Me Elmo situation where 2255 01:58:50.800 --> 01:58:55.279 they're trying to have this thing that appeals to younger audiences, 2256 01:58:56.119 --> 01:59:00.359 but then it is so expensive to get that it's 2257 01:59:00.479 --> 01:59:04.279 just impossible for that specific audience to engage with the 2258 01:59:04.399 --> 01:59:06.359 thing that you're making for them. Yeah, like, there's no 2259 01:59:06.640 --> 01:59:09.319 kids that are gonna look at or parents are going 2260 01:59:09.399 --> 01:59:11.720 to look at this astrobot game go that's very child 2261 01:59:11.800 --> 01:59:13.800 friendly and then be like I'm going to spend seven 2262 01:59:13.920 --> 01:59:17.479 hundred dollars on this console, or even five hundred dollars. 2263 01:59:17.359 --> 01:59:19.880 Five hundred dollars, like five hundred dollars for the regular 2264 01:59:19.920 --> 01:59:22.199 one is too much. And like if the move for this, 2265 01:59:22.560 --> 01:59:28.680 right is this Astros or Lego Horizon comes out, that's 2266 01:59:28.800 --> 01:59:29.960 November or December. 2267 01:59:30.279 --> 01:59:32.479 Right, If their. 2268 01:59:32.399 --> 01:59:36.039 Move actually after this is the switch to gets announced 2269 01:59:36.520 --> 01:59:41.479 and then like as a launch game, Lego Horizon is 2270 01:59:41.720 --> 01:59:46.079 on that platform, then it's a different conversation, right, because 2271 01:59:46.119 --> 01:59:46.640 then it's. 2272 01:59:46.520 --> 01:59:51.600 Like, okay, switch it is, Oh, it's already on switch Okay. 2273 01:59:51.640 --> 01:59:54.199 So then yeah, maybe if they keep doing that for sure, 2274 01:59:54.279 --> 01:59:56.640 but it's not they're not going to grow the PlayStation 2275 01:59:57.399 --> 02:00:01.920 specifically off of increased family game. 2276 02:00:02.279 --> 02:00:05.239 I mean, that's I mean, that's a whole conversation that 2277 02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:07.439 people don't want to have. A lot of people who 2278 02:00:07.520 --> 02:00:09.760 frankly will be angry at the whole conversation we just 2279 02:00:09.800 --> 02:00:12.479 have about PlayStations. They don't want to admit. They don't 2280 02:00:12.520 --> 02:00:15.399 want to admit that going elsewhere is how you find 2281 02:00:15.479 --> 02:00:19.079 a different audience. Yeah, but like all of this is 2282 02:00:19.880 --> 02:00:24.439 it feels like frankly, gaming as a whole, all these 2283 02:00:24.479 --> 02:00:28.039 companies have played themselves by ballooning out of control and 2284 02:00:28.279 --> 02:00:33.840 being these big prestigious mature games. Guess what, there's only 2285 02:00:34.119 --> 02:00:36.800 so many adults out there who want to play games, 2286 02:00:37.000 --> 02:00:38.720 and so once you've already sold to them, where do 2287 02:00:38.760 --> 02:00:41.960 you go freaking nowhere if you can't get the kids 2288 02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:44.800 on board. And if you can't get the kids on board, 2289 02:00:44.840 --> 02:00:47.560 they don't care about your brand moving forward into the future. 2290 02:00:47.920 --> 02:00:51.800 They care about roadblocks and Minecraft and Fortnite that they 2291 02:00:51.840 --> 02:00:55.439 can already play on. Like Nikki said, mom and Dad's 2292 02:00:55.479 --> 02:00:58.600 old phone slash tablet or a switch console which is 2293 02:00:58.640 --> 02:01:04.560 significantly cheaper. So it's a really tricky situation that I 2294 02:01:04.640 --> 02:01:06.680 don't know how they get themselves out of if they 2295 02:01:06.760 --> 02:01:08.600 want to expand, and I don't know if you even 2296 02:01:08.880 --> 02:01:11.239 can at this point. That's why, that's why you know 2297 02:01:11.399 --> 02:01:14.439 as much as you know, let's be real xboxes behind 2298 02:01:14.439 --> 02:01:16.800 the curve of this generation. The series as was a 2299 02:01:16.920 --> 02:01:19.560 spark play for the position they were in, because a 2300 02:01:19.680 --> 02:01:22.319 three hundred dollars system that you can buy is like 2301 02:01:22.359 --> 02:01:25.039 a Christmas present for a little Timmy makes a lot 2302 02:01:25.119 --> 02:01:25.640 more sense. 2303 02:01:25.960 --> 02:01:26.039 Now. 2304 02:01:26.119 --> 02:01:28.159 Granted they would have a ton of family friendly stuff 2305 02:01:28.199 --> 02:01:31.840 over there either, but but they also bang your Fortnite 2306 02:01:31.920 --> 02:01:34.319 machine and bang your machine. 2307 02:01:34.000 --> 02:01:36.199 And they have exactly, and they have game Pass which 2308 02:01:36.279 --> 02:01:39.880 is like a different cell, but like I. 2309 02:01:39.920 --> 02:01:45.279 Mean between the lines here, like the he's the CEO, 2310 02:01:45.600 --> 02:01:49.159 Herman Houst is saying, the family market is really important 2311 02:01:49.359 --> 02:01:53.520 for PlayStation, not the PlayStation five or the PlayStation six 2312 02:01:53.880 --> 02:01:58.880 minester station. So that the family market means when they 2313 02:01:58.920 --> 02:02:02.199 talk about opinion, the family market, they talk about all 2314 02:02:02.520 --> 02:02:07.520 encompassing strategy that involves potentially bringing your games to other platforms, 2315 02:02:07.560 --> 02:02:09.399 which is going to happen more and more and more, 2316 02:02:09.399 --> 02:02:13.239 whether people like cannot and also like diversifying where people 2317 02:02:13.399 --> 02:02:17.640 engage with that stuff that includes like movies, TV shows, 2318 02:02:18.239 --> 02:02:20.319 you know, fun, codebops, whatever it may be. Is the 2319 02:02:20.439 --> 02:02:23.359 family market is how they get you know, they can 2320 02:02:23.479 --> 02:02:25.840 use so many different avenues to bring the family market 2321 02:02:25.920 --> 02:02:28.880 to PlayStation. The problem they are there have is inevitably 2322 02:02:29.000 --> 02:02:32.159 there is they're going to have to try and make 2323 02:02:32.680 --> 02:02:35.800 those people are going to make a decision around whether 2324 02:02:35.840 --> 02:02:38.880 they want to invest in the core thing that is PlayStation, 2325 02:02:39.000 --> 02:02:42.920 which is the hardware and certainly just doesn't have currently 2326 02:02:43.039 --> 02:02:46.239 in my to my mind, the ability to translate a 2327 02:02:46.600 --> 02:02:50.880 you know, a kid that's seen an Astrobot TV show 2328 02:02:51.159 --> 02:02:54.319 to a kid that now owns a PlayStation console because 2329 02:02:54.399 --> 02:02:56.119 the barrier to entry is too high. 2330 02:02:56.199 --> 02:02:59.880 Still, Yeah, and I think that kind of goes back 2331 02:02:59.880 --> 02:03:02.079 to what we're saying of, like, Hey, imagine if you 2332 02:03:02.199 --> 02:03:04.399 got off the internet for a second, if like you 2333 02:03:04.560 --> 02:03:07.760 and your friend were not on Twitter or whatever, and 2334 02:03:07.880 --> 02:03:10.199 you didn't care about any of this crap in this capacity. 2335 02:03:10.600 --> 02:03:13.159 Imagine your friend telling you, hey, you know that game 2336 02:03:13.239 --> 02:03:15.600 you want to play, you don't have to buy the 2337 02:03:15.640 --> 02:03:18.039 five hundred dollars box is coming to your existing box. 2338 02:03:18.159 --> 02:03:20.760 Isn't that neat? And your friend goes, yeah, that's really cool. 2339 02:03:20.760 --> 02:03:25.000 I'm glad they're doing that. Nobody cares about the fanboy bs, 2340 02:03:25.159 --> 02:03:28.800 so make sure not to keep that in mind when 2341 02:03:28.880 --> 02:03:31.560 it comes to games coming to other platforms, because that's 2342 02:03:31.600 --> 02:03:33.319 that's how people realistically think. 2343 02:03:34.520 --> 02:03:36.479 Got a couple more headlines we could maybe he here 2344 02:03:36.560 --> 02:03:41.279 before we move on from software. Job posting suggests Armored 2345 02:03:41.319 --> 02:03:43.600 corese seven is on the ways is from a as 2346 02:03:43.680 --> 02:03:46.199 mets and at Inverse. A new job posting for the 2347 02:03:46.239 --> 02:03:48.319 company says several new projects are in the works, and 2348 02:03:48.399 --> 02:03:51.760 one of those projects in particular, asks for familiarity with 2349 02:03:52.199 --> 02:03:54.880 Mecca after a success of Armor Course Sex It's hard 2350 02:03:54.920 --> 02:03:57.960 to see that glue is pointing to anything else. The 2351 02:03:58.079 --> 02:04:01.239 job posting forst spoted by PSU comes from from Software's 2352 02:04:01.319 --> 02:04:04.399 career page and was also shared in the company's recruiting 2353 02:04:04.439 --> 02:04:07.039 account on x. These roles were launched as part of 2354 02:04:07.079 --> 02:04:09.720 the recruitment drive to gear U for multiple upcoming projects. 2355 02:04:10.000 --> 02:04:12.199 While almost nothing is known about any of these projects, 2356 02:04:12.199 --> 02:04:14.039 there's a little bit of information on description for a 2357 02:04:14.199 --> 02:04:18.680 character designer role, So you know, we're all kind of 2358 02:04:18.720 --> 02:04:21.520 wondering about the future from Software, what exactly is next. 2359 02:04:21.880 --> 02:04:23.479 You know, there's been some comments for me is Zaki 2360 02:04:23.600 --> 02:04:27.119 that they don't want to do that. Basically, the scale 2361 02:04:27.159 --> 02:04:29.079 of Elder Ring is the limit for them. It's not 2362 02:04:29.159 --> 02:04:32.319 going to ever be anything bigger than that. But still 2363 02:04:32.439 --> 02:04:34.720 multiple projects, well one of them is going to be 2364 02:04:34.800 --> 02:04:38.159 whatever is next from that Core Soul's team. But I'm 2365 02:04:38.279 --> 02:04:40.439 encouraged at least that it seems like Armored Core isn't 2366 02:04:40.479 --> 02:04:43.840 going away. I really enjoyed Armored Corps six. It was 2367 02:04:43.880 --> 02:04:46.560 something of a surprise for me. So whether this is 2368 02:04:47.079 --> 02:04:49.000 you know, the DLC they're working on, which it could 2369 02:04:49.039 --> 02:04:52.079 be a possibility here or some kind of spinoff thing, 2370 02:04:52.720 --> 02:04:54.960 I'm pretty happy there how do you guys feeling about 2371 02:04:55.159 --> 02:04:57.239 the future of From Software. 2372 02:04:57.399 --> 02:04:59.199 I bet it's going to be a three v three 2373 02:05:00.399 --> 02:05:06.279 tactical shooter hell yeah, in the Armored Cores, and it's 2374 02:05:06.279 --> 02:05:08.880 gonna feel really good. It's gonna fucking love it. 2375 02:05:09.079 --> 02:05:16.520 Yeah, I'm here to think of this what it makes sense. 2376 02:05:17.399 --> 02:05:21.359 I I feel like the idea of mecha showing up 2377 02:05:21.479 --> 02:05:24.439 pretty much clearly defines what this is gonna be. There 2378 02:05:24.560 --> 02:05:27.720 is a small possibility that it is like the traditional 2379 02:05:27.840 --> 02:05:30.439 Souls team, the Core Sols team, or one of them 2380 02:05:30.760 --> 02:05:35.960 decides they want a new spin on their their whole 2381 02:05:36.000 --> 02:05:38.880 style of making games, and it's a from Software as 2382 02:05:38.960 --> 02:05:41.439 From Software game, but with mechs. But I think they're 2383 02:05:41.439 --> 02:05:43.560 smart enough to know not to do that because it 2384 02:05:43.600 --> 02:05:46.079 would kind of pollute the waters or muddy the waters 2385 02:05:46.199 --> 02:05:50.319 for a franchise like Armored Cores, which I think is 2386 02:05:50.439 --> 02:05:53.479 on the ascent more more than it has ever been before. 2387 02:05:54.039 --> 02:05:58.000 So I personally believe like the smart bet would be 2388 02:05:58.720 --> 02:06:03.319 another Armored Core game, especially given the reception to Armored Cores. 2389 02:06:03.640 --> 02:06:05.600 So that's that's really good. I feel like they've hit 2390 02:06:05.680 --> 02:06:09.880 on something really, really special with Armored Core six, and 2391 02:06:10.039 --> 02:06:13.279 it's roped in people that just you would never expect 2392 02:06:13.359 --> 02:06:16.359 to be playing Armored Core games, and it still has 2393 02:06:16.680 --> 02:06:21.039 enough of its own unique kind of identifiers and hooks. 2394 02:06:21.479 --> 02:06:25.760 That is, it isn't like a reskinned Souls game. It's 2395 02:06:25.840 --> 02:06:28.880 not even as close to a Soul's game experience as 2396 02:06:28.920 --> 02:06:32.560 Securo was to traditional sales games. It's still very it's 2397 02:06:32.600 --> 02:06:37.520 a very, very different experience, but has that unmistakably from 2398 02:06:37.680 --> 02:06:40.239 styling to it, and from feel to it, and from 2399 02:06:40.359 --> 02:06:42.359 kind of loop to it. So I feel like that 2400 02:06:42.640 --> 02:06:46.600 now that they the Armored Core franchise and the Armored 2401 02:06:46.640 --> 02:06:49.079 Core team has been given a new lease on life, 2402 02:06:49.159 --> 02:06:53.279 and they have the benefit of knowing what from Software 2403 02:06:53.439 --> 02:06:56.600 is capable of not having a core identity for the studio, 2404 02:06:56.960 --> 02:07:00.119 which then can be leveraged to make the games, and 2405 02:07:00.359 --> 02:07:03.760 that will distinguish them from other you know, developers and 2406 02:07:03.800 --> 02:07:07.760 publishers out there. So seems that can make sense. I 2407 02:07:07.880 --> 02:07:09.840 do think that the core of you know, from team 2408 02:07:09.920 --> 02:07:12.039 is going to go onto something else. Now. I'm sure 2409 02:07:12.079 --> 02:07:16.880 that there's a whole fleet of dump trucks being backed up, 2410 02:07:17.159 --> 02:07:20.079 backed up full of money. That's with the words elder 2411 02:07:20.199 --> 02:07:24.119 Ring two written on it. But I also I feel like, 2412 02:07:24.199 --> 02:07:26.840 of all the developers, and I'm obviously slightly biased because 2413 02:07:26.840 --> 02:07:30.720 I I love the studio, of all the developers from software, 2414 02:07:30.840 --> 02:07:34.279 is the most likely and in the best position to 2415 02:07:34.399 --> 02:07:37.000 be like, no, we will not do an elder Ring too. 2416 02:07:37.159 --> 02:07:39.760 We will go and make something brand new, and the 2417 02:07:39.920 --> 02:07:42.680 studio and the publishers, the money makers, whoever it may be, 2418 02:07:43.039 --> 02:07:45.520 will still be like, we'll still take give you the money. 2419 02:07:45.720 --> 02:07:47.760 Just we'll give you that money. Just let us do it. 2420 02:07:48.760 --> 02:07:54.119 I fully expect there to be another, Like I think 2421 02:07:54.159 --> 02:07:56.199 they're going to go onto something in the vein of 2422 02:07:56.359 --> 02:07:59.600 Secure on blood Born, which is something that is unexpected, 2423 02:08:00.119 --> 02:08:03.760 maybe even like exclusive to a platform or or for 2424 02:08:03.880 --> 02:08:06.640 a period of time or and it's like more focused 2425 02:08:06.680 --> 02:08:10.079 on another idea that is, you know, gameplay mechanics driven 2426 02:08:10.159 --> 02:08:11.520 and a little more like focused. 2427 02:08:12.920 --> 02:08:15.279 Yeah, And I think it is cool that they sort 2428 02:08:15.319 --> 02:08:19.000 of have take it leveraged the prestige of the studio 2429 02:08:19.119 --> 02:08:21.880 to sort of raise up some of their lesser known 2430 02:08:22.840 --> 02:08:26.640 series such as Armored Corps, because like, I'm not a 2431 02:08:27.079 --> 02:08:30.279 huge Souls guy. I like the faster from games like 2432 02:08:30.319 --> 02:08:32.439 a Bloodborn or a Second Row, but I'm not super 2433 02:08:32.520 --> 02:08:36.239 into these more methodical Souls style. So I am glad 2434 02:08:36.279 --> 02:08:39.239 that Armored Cores is its own thing. But just me 2435 02:08:39.399 --> 02:08:41.920 knowing that from Soft's games are incredibly well made, I'm like, 2436 02:08:42.479 --> 02:08:44.600 you know, even if I don't love all his studio stuff, 2437 02:08:44.680 --> 02:08:45.880 like I'm gonna get in there and try And I 2438 02:08:45.920 --> 02:08:47.760 did try out Armor Core Sex and there are some 2439 02:08:48.000 --> 02:08:49.760 aspects about that I didn't like. So I did fall 2440 02:08:49.840 --> 02:08:52.760 off eventually, Like I didn't love this sort of radio 2441 02:08:52.840 --> 02:08:56.039 drama presentation of the story on uh and everything. I 2442 02:08:56.119 --> 02:08:57.960 know some people do, Like I know Grub really likes it, 2443 02:08:58.159 --> 02:08:59.000 but just wasn't for me. 2444 02:08:59.199 --> 02:09:02.399 But just he's multi consuming stories in the past when 2445 02:09:02.439 --> 02:09:03.079 he was a boy. 2446 02:09:03.479 --> 02:09:06.119 Yeah, it's the only way he consumes stories, Nikki. He 2447 02:09:06.279 --> 02:09:09.199 only listens to audiobooks and skips cutscenes and everything else. 2448 02:09:10.279 --> 02:09:12.159 But yeah, just like if it got someone like me 2449 02:09:12.359 --> 02:09:14.039 in the door, like, I think that's a good sign 2450 02:09:14.119 --> 02:09:16.760 for them, just you know, again using that prestige to 2451 02:09:16.880 --> 02:09:18.760 sort of raise up their other projects. It's really cool. 2452 02:09:19.520 --> 02:09:20.920 I think it's gonna be cookies and cream. 2453 02:09:21.039 --> 02:09:21.199 Oh. 2454 02:09:22.079 --> 02:09:27.439 Here, Space Marine two see's highest concurrent player peak ever 2455 02:09:27.600 --> 02:09:29.800 for a Warhammer forty K game on Steam. This is 2456 02:09:29.840 --> 02:09:33.960 from Wesley and Putt ign space Marine two launched proper 2457 02:09:34.159 --> 02:09:37.199 the other day, September ninth, after four days of early access, 2458 02:09:37.279 --> 02:09:40.479 and soon shot to record breaking success for a Warhammer 2459 02:09:40.520 --> 02:09:43.319 forty K game. Space Marine two saw a huge twenty 2460 02:09:43.359 --> 02:09:46.520 four hour peak concurrent player count of two hundred and 2461 02:09:46.640 --> 02:09:49.319 twenty five six hundred and ninety players on Steam, the 2462 02:09:49.399 --> 02:09:51.439 highest peak ever seen for a game of the series 2463 02:09:51.439 --> 02:09:55.760 on vows platform, alongside a very positive user review rating. Indeed, 2464 02:09:55.880 --> 02:09:59.079 Space Marine two is now the most played UH forty 2465 02:09:59.479 --> 02:10:02.279 K or Warhammer game everyon's Steam. To put the launch 2466 02:10:02.319 --> 02:10:06.159 into context, space Marine two not total war Warhammer threes 2467 02:10:06.359 --> 02:10:09.600 one hundred and sixty six seventy fifty four peak occurrence 2468 02:10:09.680 --> 02:10:13.359 into second place. I feel like I'm just hearing good 2469 02:10:13.439 --> 02:10:16.239 buzz about this game. It seems like people are really 2470 02:10:16.319 --> 02:10:19.000 into it. I kind of want to check it out, 2471 02:10:19.119 --> 02:10:22.119 and it seems like, maybe, you know, I respect the 2472 02:10:22.239 --> 02:10:25.279 kind of shotgun approach. Warhammer forty K has had to 2473 02:10:25.399 --> 02:10:28.039 just sort of releasing a ton of video games. 2474 02:10:28.319 --> 02:10:29.760 We'll give it to whoever more of. 2475 02:10:29.760 --> 02:10:31.479 Them than Yeah, it seems like more of them than 2476 02:10:31.560 --> 02:10:32.279 not kind of hit. 2477 02:10:32.680 --> 02:10:35.960 Yeah. I mean like, yeah, I'm glad that this little 2478 02:10:36.600 --> 02:10:41.039 ip is finally getting some love. I mean, like, it's 2479 02:10:41.359 --> 02:10:46.720 an incredibly versatile property that you can turn into basically anything. 2480 02:10:47.359 --> 02:10:50.039 And we're at the stage now where the people who 2481 02:10:50.119 --> 02:10:55.520 are making these video games probably grew up playing like Warhammer, 2482 02:10:55.560 --> 02:10:58.239 whether that's the classic stuff or the forty K stuff. 2483 02:10:58.800 --> 02:11:02.760 And there are a surprisingly a good number of Warhammer 2484 02:11:02.840 --> 02:11:05.199 games now, like you said, that are super high quality, 2485 02:11:05.319 --> 02:11:10.319 like Total Warhammer is one of them, but like Vermin Tide, 2486 02:11:10.560 --> 02:11:16.000 Dark Tide, that kind of stuff. There's gold guna Trader, Yeah, 2487 02:11:16.079 --> 02:11:19.199 there's there's. It is such a versatile and and like 2488 02:11:19.680 --> 02:11:22.800 games workshops, seems to be a little more fast and 2489 02:11:22.880 --> 02:11:26.000 loose with taking shots at it. And why not, Like 2490 02:11:26.119 --> 02:11:29.279 they've got the foundation of their business is rock solid. Again, 2491 02:11:29.399 --> 02:11:34.000 they're in a position where Warhammer is eternally cool, Like 2492 02:11:34.319 --> 02:11:37.680 people are always going to be into Warhammer for one 2493 02:11:37.720 --> 02:11:41.319 reason or another, so they have the luxury to just 2494 02:11:41.399 --> 02:11:44.079 be like, who wants to make a thing? If it 2495 02:11:44.279 --> 02:11:47.079 goes well, great, if it doesn't, we still have these 2496 02:11:47.119 --> 02:11:49.600 plastic toys that are selling a billion dollars a day 2497 02:11:49.640 --> 02:11:51.920 or whatever, So yeah, good for them. 2498 02:11:53.239 --> 02:11:56.920 Yeah, all right, I'm gonna sorry back. 2499 02:11:57.760 --> 02:11:59.159 We're gonna head over to emails. 2500 02:11:59.199 --> 02:11:59.359 Now. 2501 02:11:59.479 --> 02:12:04.920 But before that, another quick bricky break and a few 2502 02:12:05.000 --> 02:12:12.159 words from the sponsors emails if you want to send 2503 02:12:15.600 --> 02:12:19.880 if you want to, that is really going for emails. 2504 02:12:20.520 --> 02:12:23.199 If you want to send a giant bomb an email, 2505 02:12:23.439 --> 02:12:26.359 you can hit us up at BombCast at giant bomb 2506 02:12:26.479 --> 02:12:30.399 dot com. We're going to begin with one from Ryan 2507 02:12:30.720 --> 02:12:34.079 about physical medias right, and says Hi Giant Bomb. With 2508 02:12:34.239 --> 02:12:37.600 the recent discussions slash emails regarding whether to get a 2509 02:12:37.760 --> 02:12:41.600 PC or console, which I largely agree with these days, 2510 02:12:41.680 --> 02:12:45.319 I felt there was one factor not mentioned. PC basically 2511 02:12:45.479 --> 02:12:50.079 doesn't support any physical games. They just aren't made anymore. Sure, 2512 02:12:50.159 --> 02:12:52.479 you could get a distriyer for old stuff, but that's 2513 02:12:52.560 --> 02:12:55.399 about it. I've realized that I will likely always have 2514 02:12:55.520 --> 02:12:58.720 a console around for some physical media, holding on to 2515 02:12:58.840 --> 02:13:02.159 whatever ownership I have these days. Is this a consideration 2516 02:13:02.359 --> 02:13:02.840 for you all? 2517 02:13:04.640 --> 02:13:06.960 Yeah? Look where the tide's going though. Look look at 2518 02:13:07.000 --> 02:13:10.199 the PlayStation five Pro seven drew bucks and guess what 2519 02:13:10.359 --> 02:13:13.439 it doesn't come with, right, And like, yeah, there's a 2520 02:13:13.600 --> 02:13:15.760 right now, there's an option that you're gonna be able 2521 02:13:15.800 --> 02:13:17.680 to buy a disc drive and add it on there. 2522 02:13:17.880 --> 02:13:19.920 How many more years are we going to even have 2523 02:13:20.439 --> 02:13:25.600 that option? Still right, Like, I completely get the physical 2524 02:13:25.680 --> 02:13:29.119 media arguments. I understand it completely. I just I kind 2525 02:13:29.159 --> 02:13:31.239 of wave the right the white flag of bit on 2526 02:13:31.319 --> 02:13:33.359 that one. I just think it's going away, and I'm 2527 02:13:33.520 --> 02:13:34.760 just kind of resigned to it. 2528 02:13:34.840 --> 02:13:37.560 Yeah, I mean, like, how much do discs even do anymore? 2529 02:13:38.159 --> 02:13:39.319 Isn't it not very much? 2530 02:13:39.800 --> 02:13:39.840 No? 2531 02:13:40.119 --> 02:13:41.479 A like capacity? 2532 02:13:42.000 --> 02:13:43.840 No, I mean like like sales. 2533 02:13:44.239 --> 02:13:44.279 No. 2534 02:13:45.039 --> 02:13:48.399 Well, if I if I go to this store right 2535 02:13:48.479 --> 02:13:50.920 now and you buy the video game Call of Duty, 2536 02:13:52.239 --> 02:13:53.960 what's on the what's on the disc? 2537 02:13:54.680 --> 02:13:56.720 So this is a no, no no, This is a 2538 02:13:56.840 --> 02:13:59.439 huge misconception, and this is okay, okay, this is no 2539 02:13:59.800 --> 02:14:01.439 my time to shine because I'm I think I'm the 2540 02:14:01.439 --> 02:14:03.800 only one who cares about like physical media for modern 2541 02:14:03.960 --> 02:14:07.319 stuff around here. Uh, it's a huge misconception that most 2542 02:14:07.399 --> 02:14:09.680 games don't have the base game on they do, they 2543 02:14:09.720 --> 02:14:10.720 have the one point zero. 2544 02:14:11.039 --> 02:14:11.239 Yeah. 2545 02:14:11.319 --> 02:14:13.960 The problem is day one patches have become such a 2546 02:14:14.000 --> 02:14:17.640 big thing that your one point zero is often not amazing. 2547 02:14:18.119 --> 02:14:21.039 But if it's a smaller game, especially if you're buying 2548 02:14:21.119 --> 02:14:22.680 like you know, a double A or let alone an 2549 02:14:22.720 --> 02:14:26.560 indie title, you're getting the entire thing and then with yeah, 2550 02:14:26.600 --> 02:14:29.680 you're big, like Ubisoft Games and whatever you're getting the 2551 02:14:29.760 --> 02:14:33.079 one point, Oh, that's gonna have some bugs, but it's 2552 02:14:33.119 --> 02:14:37.039 still fully playable. The thing about physical media is for 2553 02:14:37.239 --> 02:14:41.119 most people, it's about that sense of ownership. And let 2554 02:14:41.199 --> 02:14:46.680 me introduce you to DRM Free Digital. That's why I 2555 02:14:46.800 --> 02:14:49.560 love buying things on like g og or directly from 2556 02:14:49.600 --> 02:14:52.359 the developers of a game or something, because then when 2557 02:14:52.439 --> 02:14:55.319 you buy it, you can just download it, you can 2558 02:14:55.399 --> 02:14:57.119 back it up, you can burn it to a disc, 2559 02:14:57.159 --> 02:14:58.880 you can put on USB drive, you do wior hell 2560 02:14:58.880 --> 02:15:03.079 you want it. That is true ownership. Your disc, even technically, 2561 02:15:03.359 --> 02:15:08.880 is not true ownership. The problem is problem is you 2562 02:15:09.039 --> 02:15:12.239 can't do anything with it past that point. You own 2563 02:15:12.319 --> 02:15:15.800 the media, but no one else can. And that's something 2564 02:15:15.920 --> 02:15:19.000 I understand a lot, because you know, nowadays I get 2565 02:15:19.000 --> 02:15:22.319 a lot of games review codes, you know, perkole the job. 2566 02:15:22.920 --> 02:15:25.359 But with physical media, I still like to buy that 2567 02:15:25.520 --> 02:15:28.039 because I can pass on that disc to someone else. 2568 02:15:28.159 --> 02:15:30.560 If I don't like a game that I buy, you know, 2569 02:15:30.680 --> 02:15:32.800 on my own pocket, I can get rid of it 2570 02:15:32.920 --> 02:15:35.319 and gets on my money back. So I totally get that. 2571 02:15:35.720 --> 02:15:38.560 I think it's kind of the theme of the whole 2572 02:15:38.680 --> 02:15:41.920 console versus PC conversation we've been having. You know, I'm 2573 02:15:41.920 --> 02:15:44.600 certainly not trying to convince anyone to do something that 2574 02:15:44.680 --> 02:15:46.800 they don't want to do. Enjoy games and whatever what 2575 02:15:46.880 --> 02:15:48.920 you want. But I think there's a lot of misconceptions 2576 02:15:48.960 --> 02:15:51.479 around PC, and one of those is, you know that 2577 02:15:51.680 --> 02:15:54.800 like you're resigning to digital in its entirety and all 2578 02:15:54.880 --> 02:15:59.720 the pitfalls of console digital. Yes, Steam is the biggest 2579 02:15:59.720 --> 02:16:02.960 players form on PC. Yes it is a DRM factory, 2580 02:16:03.600 --> 02:16:07.079 but it's also a DRM factory that just works so 2581 02:16:07.399 --> 02:16:11.000 much better than other platforms that most people just don't care. 2582 02:16:11.520 --> 02:16:13.479 Is where we're at right now. And also, you know 2583 02:16:13.800 --> 02:16:18.439 there's other nebulous things like valves talked about. We have 2584 02:16:18.520 --> 02:16:21.520 a plan for in the future if all this stuff 2585 02:16:21.800 --> 02:16:24.399 does go away, we'll have some way for you access 2586 02:16:24.479 --> 02:16:27.399 your games. So just even that small thing is like, Okay, 2587 02:16:27.439 --> 02:16:30.279 they're thinking about these things. I just have more faith 2588 02:16:30.479 --> 02:16:34.040 in Steam as a digital platform that I do PlayStation 2589 02:16:34.440 --> 02:16:38.239 or xboxes or alone Nintendo's digital store funds, you know. 2590 02:16:38.600 --> 02:16:40.719 So that's how I see it as a PC fan 2591 02:16:40.920 --> 02:16:43.000 who also likes physical media. 2592 02:16:43.719 --> 02:16:46.959 Yeah, I like physical media, but I feel like we 2593 02:16:47.159 --> 02:16:49.000 don't really have much of a say in it. The 2594 02:16:49.840 --> 02:16:54.280 business of media is wor dictates how you know, the 2595 02:16:54.399 --> 02:16:57.639 movements happen with this because I could, to the end 2596 02:16:57.719 --> 02:16:59.680 of you know time, be like I want this, I 2597 02:16:59.760 --> 02:17:05.639 want but fundamentally and like factually, DIC aren't doing well 2598 02:17:05.760 --> 02:17:09.200 in retail. They make the whole process more expensive because 2599 02:17:09.239 --> 02:17:11.639 like publishers and developers now have to account for putting 2600 02:17:11.680 --> 02:17:15.079 a physical thing on a shelf shelf space. It's just 2601 02:17:15.479 --> 02:17:18.319 and then like you know, the the limitations of size 2602 02:17:18.440 --> 02:17:21.239 and speed and that kind of stuff. At a certain point, 2603 02:17:21.319 --> 02:17:25.680 the industry just pushes through any sort of preferences that 2604 02:17:25.799 --> 02:17:29.120 we have just to make things cheaper for themselves or 2605 02:17:29.200 --> 02:17:33.360 make more money. And the elimination of physical media both 2606 02:17:33.559 --> 02:17:37.719 makes the release and production of video games or movies 2607 02:17:38.000 --> 02:17:43.280 cheaper and for everyone, and in that it results in 2608 02:17:43.600 --> 02:17:47.079 higher revenue generation. They can make it cheaper, sell it 2609 02:17:47.200 --> 02:17:49.680 for a price that gives them a little bit of 2610 02:17:49.719 --> 02:17:52.200 money on the back end without you know, and all 2611 02:17:52.239 --> 02:17:54.360 they really need to account for is like service space, 2612 02:17:54.719 --> 02:17:57.719 and that is the be all end all of it. 2613 02:17:58.040 --> 02:18:02.879 I think the phys a cool media industry will become 2614 02:18:03.399 --> 02:18:08.959 more bolstered as a kind of novel ty thing. Yeah yeah, 2615 02:18:09.040 --> 02:18:12.239 like a yeah, Limited Run. I am a bit that 2616 02:18:12.520 --> 02:18:15.200 that kind of stuff is what makes sense, like that 2617 02:18:15.319 --> 02:18:17.360 I bought a physical thing. I realized that I didn't 2618 02:18:17.399 --> 02:18:19.440 have all the Dark Souls games in one place. They 2619 02:18:19.479 --> 02:18:22.719 were kind of like scattered across multiple generations and consoles. 2620 02:18:22.760 --> 02:18:26.000 So I bought the PlayStation like the compendium. That was 2621 02:18:26.040 --> 02:18:27.879 the last thing I bought. And I feel like there's 2622 02:18:27.920 --> 02:18:29.680 going to be more of stuff like that, where it's like, 2623 02:18:29.760 --> 02:18:32.040 here's a nice version of a video game that came 2624 02:18:32.079 --> 02:18:34.639 out a while back. But the tricky part is obviously 2625 02:18:34.760 --> 02:18:36.520 like not every game is going to get it. The 2626 02:18:36.600 --> 02:18:39.920 thing that you want isn't guaranteed to have it, like 2627 02:18:40.000 --> 02:18:41.920 you know what I mean, And and it's very much 2628 02:18:41.959 --> 02:18:44.879 at the whims of tastes and demand for it. 2629 02:18:46.200 --> 02:18:48.760 Yeah, and that's why places like Limited Round are cool. 2630 02:18:48.799 --> 02:18:50.680 I just the other day I got my They were 2631 02:18:50.799 --> 02:18:54.719 doing a overstock sale, so I got the Convention Exclusive 2632 02:18:54.879 --> 02:18:59.120 or z on switch because I have a have a 2633 02:18:59.200 --> 02:19:02.000 digital version of ours that I didn't pre order the 2634 02:19:02.159 --> 02:19:04.040 physical copy because I didn't know how much I would 2635 02:19:04.040 --> 02:19:07.000 like it.

You can't have a top three game 2865 02:30:45.319 --> 02:30:48.959 and you have one game of the year. But I 2866 02:30:49.000 --> 02:30:54.159 see what you're saying. So much fun. But Twitter discourse 2867 02:30:54.360 --> 02:30:57.000 says it's a kids game. The game felt like a 2868 02:30:57.079 --> 02:30:59.600 Marrier game, which I never thought of as a kids game. 2869 02:31:00.159 --> 02:31:03.159 Is actual bought a kid's game. I'm now curious what 2870 02:31:03.360 --> 02:31:05.159 makes a game a kid's game. 2871 02:31:06.079 --> 02:31:07.559 Every video game is a kid's game. 2872 02:31:08.159 --> 02:31:10.399 Yes, sorry, yeah, I mean you know what. 2873 02:31:10.559 --> 02:31:13.879 That's okay because video games are for kids, but also 2874 02:31:14.000 --> 02:31:14.920 we can like them too. 2875 02:31:15.280 --> 02:31:20.120 Yeah, yeah, okay, I mean the astro bought it's really 2876 02:31:20.239 --> 02:31:23.159 fun funny because like it is technically a kid's game 2877 02:31:23.200 --> 02:31:25.600 on the face of it, but like any kid that 2878 02:31:25.760 --> 02:31:28.440 is growing up today will not be able to appreciate 2879 02:31:28.559 --> 02:31:32.440 the nostalgia that is a significant portion of that game. 2880 02:31:32.639 --> 02:31:34.440 So in that respect, it's not really a kid's game 2881 02:31:34.479 --> 02:31:37.120 because they weren't alive when all this stuff was happening, 2882 02:31:37.280 --> 02:31:37.760 for sure. 2883 02:31:38.760 --> 02:31:41.120 Yeah, a kid's game is something that like, I don't know, 2884 02:31:41.520 --> 02:31:45.840 like edge lords are weird depressed people called video games 2885 02:31:45.920 --> 02:31:51.680 that don't have realistic graphics and decapitations.

Look take it, you know, 2906 02:32:51.479 --> 02:32:54.639 But I know I'm the diskyo, right, but I think 2907 02:32:54.680 --> 02:32:56.639 that a lot of that stuff is actually just for 2908 02:32:56.879 --> 02:32:59.399 everyone in a lot of ways. It's fun and sometimes 2909 02:32:59.479 --> 02:33:02.559 good for you to just enjoy some of these simpler 2910 02:33:02.719 --> 02:33:04.719 call you joyful things. 2911 02:33:04.920 --> 02:33:10.000 Calling games calling things for children is disrespectful to children 2912 02:33:10.040 --> 02:33:14.319 who can understand quite a bit actually, and is also 2913 02:33:14.879 --> 02:33:16.479 disrespectful to adults. 2914 02:33:19.280 --> 02:33:22.920 You're there, if you're sitting there watching Pepa Pig by 2915 02:33:22.959 --> 02:33:26.079 yourself and your maybe it's a bit weird, but like 2916 02:33:26.520 --> 02:33:29.520 Astro Bought is just clearly a you know, it's an 2917 02:33:29.600 --> 02:33:33.920 engaging platformer again with all this nostalgia bait that's just 2918 02:33:34.360 --> 02:33:37.159 clearly fun for everyone to go through. If you have 2919 02:33:37.239 --> 02:33:38.239 any kind of affinity for. 2920 02:33:38.280 --> 02:33:42.760 That categorizing answer, yeah, the real answer here is that 2921 02:33:43.520 --> 02:33:46.520 it's it's not a kid's game. It's a family friendly game. 2922 02:33:46.920 --> 02:33:49.479 But because people feel the need to tear things down, 2923 02:33:49.920 --> 02:33:52.680 they frame in the most derogatory way possible, so they 2924 02:33:52.959 --> 02:33:55.520 group it in with like Elmo we talked about at 2925 02:33:55.520 --> 02:33:59.440 the Begina show. That's that Elmo is for kids. Literally, 2926 02:33:59.760 --> 02:34:03.399 he is there to educate children. That's for kids. But 2927 02:34:03.559 --> 02:34:07.079 like having a family friendly vibe, like you know, like 2928 02:34:07.200 --> 02:34:12.159 Disney or even like a targeting kids as your primary demographic, 2929 02:34:12.200 --> 02:34:14.600 you know, like a down chop about Pokemon I'm big 2930 02:34:14.639 --> 02:34:18.239 into that, obviously targeting kids as a key demographic, but 2931 02:34:18.440 --> 02:34:21.000 so anyone can enjoy and you know what, yeah, anyone 2932 02:34:21.040 --> 02:34:22.040 can enjoy.
