Speaker 1: last week, this is the normal time that we were
Speaker 1: going to be doing the episode around the five is
Speaker 1: Sixtus there, we would have started on time, but I
Speaker 1: discovered that on Facebook. Apparently got banned by Facebook for
Speaker 1: some reason, so that kind of delays stuff. But who cares.
Speaker 1: We're here. We're gonna be talking about all this shit. Well,
Speaker 1: the three main showcases, because I don't know what else
Speaker 1: Mark watched. I watch, say at the devs and I
Speaker 1: think that's about like half of the Future Games one,
Speaker 1: and yeah, did you watch any other one? Now, well
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the three big ones, Xbox You'd be
Speaker 1: Soft and Summer Game Fest and yeah, the Devolver one.
Speaker 1: I forgot to rewatch it because I was rewatching it
Speaker 1: sort of on like half mute and half not and
Speaker 1: it just made me laugh most of the time. The
Speaker 1: games were like went by so quick, it say, you
Speaker 1: don't really do so, yeah, we'll get to that and
Speaker 1: all this stuff. So, oh right, well, just in case
Speaker 1: your first time watching or listening, we do do the
Speaker 1: show live on Mondays in the afternoon time. You can
Speaker 1: watch it live on YouTube, on Twitch, on Facebook, Twitter

Speaker 1: have an awesome anime show, Taco Cafe that they do
Speaker 1: everything that has to do with like the new anime
Speaker 1: that comes out every season. They cover a lot of those,
Speaker 1: and obviously the returning ones that a lot of people watch,
Speaker 1: you know, all the known ones. They will watch those
Speaker 1: as well. So if you're into big time and anime,

Speaker 1: Taco Cafe on the podcast. And then on the movies
Speaker 1: entertainment side, we got the Relets of broadcasting folks. They
Speaker 1: do everything has to do with like TV, movies, all
Speaker 1: that stuff. They do a great job keeping up what
Speaker 1: They just did a Garfield movie review, so that's up
Speaker 1: there if you want to watch that. They keep it
Speaker 1: up with Sands of Monarchy. They've been doing that, They've
Speaker 1: do everything, even boxing all that. So they just did
Speaker 1: the one on x N ninety seven, which I know
Speaker 1: a lot of y'all enjoy as well. So go check
Speaker 1: all that out, subscribe on YouTube to get what we
Speaker 1: do there, and of course they're on podcasts there too.
Speaker 1: So yeah, aside from that, I think we can go
Speaker 1: ahead and mosey along here. We're going to start in
Speaker 1: recent order with Ubisoft and go backwards and do Summer
Speaker 1: Game Fest and Xbox and whatever else we may have
Speaker 1: watched in that timeframe. Ubisoft started off strong with the
Speaker 1: orchestra for Star Wars Outlaws, then showed off Star Wars
Speaker 1: Outlaws a bunch of stuff, then kind of meandered in
Speaker 1: the middle, and then went with Assassin's Creed Shadows to
Speaker 1: end it. What do you think about generally about the
Speaker 1: whole you over there.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was fine, I guess, but there was
Speaker 2: a lot of known quantities and the stuff that people
Speaker 2: still want to see still wasn't shown.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the long awaited stuff, right like no
Speaker 1: beyond Good and Evil to no, some of the yeah no,
Speaker 1: splinter Cell with people will be like really really wanting
Speaker 1: to see crazy that we still don't have anything, right,
Speaker 1: splinter Cell at all, Star Wars Outlaws looked great. I
Speaker 1: mean good to know what we're finally going to be doing.
Speaker 1: Uh in that game, it feels like because they they've
Speaker 1: kind of been teasing it. They even tease something at
Speaker 1: Summer Game Fest, letting you know that they're going to
Speaker 1: be doing more here. Do you get more excited about
Speaker 1: the game after watching.
Speaker 2: That or not until we can get a new, new
Speaker 2: non eighties hairstyle. But it looks fine?
Speaker 1: Is that I guess.
Speaker 2: Because I don't feel like playing Christy mcnickel from Empty
Speaker 2: Nest in a video game from the late eighties. Uh No,
Speaker 2: I'm sure believing. I'm sure this game is gonna have
Speaker 2: a ton of customizable options like every year, you know,
Speaker 2: like every ubisof game in existence nowadays. Uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I like that it has like ship combat. I don't know,
Speaker 2: you know, who knows what a good or not?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I saw a lot of Look this even
Speaker 1: does stuff Starfield should be doing, like landing your ship right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, it looks okay, we'll see. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm the guy who kind of burned
Speaker 2: on a Star Wars.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, I've I meant I watched that part
Speaker 1: of the first episode of Acolyte. I meant to watch
Speaker 1: more of it, and then I didn't go back to it. No.
Speaker 1: I I like the how you can the using the
Speaker 1: like land Runner all so to like get in and
Speaker 1: out of missions really fast if you need to, And
Speaker 1: how they're gonna involve all this stuff eventually you know,
Speaker 1: the Empire gets evolved as you would imagine. Uh So, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be fun stuff. And I'm excited,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always down for more Star Wars stuff.
Speaker 1: So and this this has been good from the beginning,
Speaker 1: like getting that kind of Han Solo type character, and
Speaker 1: they kind of seem to make allusions to him like
Speaker 1: in part of this as well, like you're are you
Speaker 1: eventually gonna go be like be searching for him or something.
Speaker 1: It's like, uh so, let's let's see if that's that's
Speaker 1: the big crux of this or whatever that they're doing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, uh this looks good. I'm I'm down with
Speaker 1: whatever they want to keep showing us for Star Wars Outlaws.
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think at the end of the summer
Speaker 1: we finally be want this thing. But yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean this is kind of the big thing that that
Speaker 1: they have. I think that it's different because you know,
Speaker 1: as we've said about assassa screen ghost to Sushimo, and
Speaker 1: he did did a lot of.
Speaker 2: That already, right, yeah, and even even like looking at
Speaker 2: some of the footies they show and it's like, yep,
Speaker 2: this looks a lot like that game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And then it just felt like a lot
Speaker 1: of the middle stuff was like, Okay, we're just going
Speaker 1: to show you all of the games that we already
Speaker 1: have out.
Speaker 2: And it's like, yeah, here's more, here's more stuff for
Speaker 2: extifying or skulling bones, because that's that's what everyone's talking
Speaker 2: about and talking about now these days.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just it's crazy to me that I think
Speaker 1: the only new game that they announced was an Ano
Speaker 1: game thing, and yeah, I was just like, wow, I'm
Speaker 1: just really surprised they didn't have like the and one
Speaker 1: more thing or nothing. It was just like, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: that's it. We're just on time, we're.
Speaker 2: Doing They're still supporting Brajalla. I was like, I thought
Speaker 2: that died years ago.
Speaker 1: That that I mean that that's you. They support everything
Speaker 1: until it's done. They did show that they are doing
Speaker 1: personal remakes. Still, uh, twenty twenties, is that officially the
Speaker 1: first twenty twenty six game that we've seen? Like that,
Speaker 1: that's nuts to me, like showing games that are gonna
Speaker 1: come in twenty twenty six, you know, it's like we're
Speaker 1: just shocked to get games twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: But right now, well yeah, but you think about it's
Speaker 2: only a year away now, so.
Speaker 1: Well, depending on when that comes out, it could technically
Speaker 1: be two years away still sort of right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean the Lost Crown gets more stuff, which you know
Speaker 1: the people that I'm sure more folks have picked that
Speaker 1: up it went on sale, and then the Road Prince
Speaker 1: of Persia as well as getting more stuff.
Speaker 2: Well that would needs more stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know one seventeen Paxtremana I think was
Speaker 1: the only thing that they announced. Yeah, real time strategy
Speaker 1: stuff between all the big ones, that seems to be
Speaker 1: something that's I guess making a comeback of being super important.
Speaker 1: Between all three of the big showcases, they really definitely
Speaker 1: showed lots of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was a little more of an economic
Speaker 2: scam as well, So right, you know it has a chance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely, we'll see. Ex Defiant seems to have
Speaker 1: some fandom. We'll see how long that lasts for UBI
Speaker 1: saw there, right, and.
Speaker 2: Then of course November.
Speaker 1: Yeah s member, and then when when Call of Duty
Speaker 1: comes out, that'll probably be there. Uh then when you
Speaker 1: have The last thing was as Shadows. They showed a
Speaker 1: lot of the Yashwei gameplay there as well, like getting
Speaker 1: to see how he is as a character and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, like just kind of showing you, okay, well,
Speaker 1: you know people are complaining about why he's in this
Speaker 1: game and it's not historically correct and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: At least they're being to that and not just kind
Speaker 1: of trying to shoot him away and be like, okay,
Speaker 1: well you'll play him when he's when you play the game.
Speaker 1: So that's I mean, do you like this kind of
Speaker 1: having the stealth shadow type and then having him the
Speaker 1: power guy.
Speaker 2: It kind of makes sense because like that was a
Speaker 2: problem of the Victorian England want of the name of
Speaker 2: it syndicate, Like both characters played the same Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's like, why play one, you know, it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: just pick one and stick with them or stick with
Speaker 2: our like you know, having missions or having yeah, side
Speaker 2: jobs or whatever. That's okay. You're supposed to be a
Speaker 2: stealthy character, so be the girl. And it goes back
Speaker 2: to uh, like the stealth assassin. Like that's exactly what
Speaker 2: that game was, right, So it's fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, at least, so let's just see what
Speaker 1: it's going to be like to explore through parts of
Speaker 1: it and all that. Right, it won't be too long
Speaker 1: before you get to play the game, so you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks looks good. I'm sure you know. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you will still because you have to play everything Assassa's Creed.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you will still be playing it. Uh.
Speaker 2: I mean I don't play all every one of them,
Speaker 2: but I play most of them. So hopefully we'll get
Speaker 2: it for real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully it'll jazz you up more than mirage it,
Speaker 1: you know, at least for that. But yeah, Ubisoft was
Speaker 1: kind of just I don't know, kind of man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, all right then again and catch it.
Speaker 2: It'll be soft in general, so.
Speaker 1: I will give you sef credit like they don't need
Speaker 1: to show us any more games that are like who
Speaker 1: knows how long from here out. They already have that
Speaker 1: problem where.
Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, but that's a like it's a
Speaker 2: twofold problem because it's like, okay, you shouldn't show games
Speaker 2: that are that far out, but also you should have
Speaker 2: a better rain on game. You know, Beyond Good and
Speaker 2: Evil too shouldn't be taken thirteen years to make, or
Speaker 2: you know, that Prince of Persia remake shouldn't have taken
Speaker 2: seven years to make, or you know, it's like.
Speaker 1: I think, I think that's just them basically saying we
Speaker 1: restarted the whole thing. Yeah, it'll be.
Speaker 2: Out, and that's the case. They should just be honest,
Speaker 2: you know, and say, hey, we worked on this from
Speaker 2: you know, twenty twenty to twenty twenty two, and then
Speaker 2: it wasn't going anywhere, so we fleshed it and you know,
Speaker 2: started to do like they said, be honest, because how
Speaker 2: you know, God knows how many reboots, internal reboots like
Speaker 2: Beyond Good and Eagle two has gone through because Joseph
Speaker 2: led us to working in that game. Yes or no,
Speaker 2: these are the big questions that need to be asked.
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised that they haven't like said anything about
Speaker 1: other than the whole just to give people updates on
Speaker 1: these games, like, hey, yeah, we're still working on it.
Speaker 1: We don't really have anything to show, but here's this.
Speaker 2: Or I mean, it's an awesome problem. I like, people
Speaker 2: aren't excited for like Boobisoft game, so they should. They
Speaker 2: should just be honest and say, hey, here's a new
Speaker 2: splinter Cell. It's still pre alpha or like very early on,
Speaker 2: but here's a logo, or here's what Sam Fisher is
Speaker 2: gonna look like. You know, expect, expect more info.
Speaker 1: That feels like so far away. No, but honestly that
Speaker 1: is true. Definitely give us updates. Done, at least they
Speaker 1: show some stuff from Avatar I guess, which is their
Speaker 1: most like popular game outside of Star Wars and the
Speaker 1: ass screen coming. So yeah, that'll that'll get them going
Speaker 1: for now. I think Mark Froze it looks like so
Speaker 1: for now, I'm just going to I don't know if
Speaker 1: I have to reinvite him or what I gotta do here. Hello, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess I lost him here for a little bit
Speaker 1: until he comes back, So I'll go ahead and move
Speaker 1: on to the Summer game Fest. He has the link,
Speaker 1: so I think he should be able to Brandy. He's like,
Speaker 1: here's an announcement of a future announcement. Now please stop
Speaker 1: talking about Sam Fisher until we're ready to talk about
Speaker 1: Sam Fisher. He's not wrong about that, honestly, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna move. Marc has the links, so he should be
Speaker 1: able to just hit the same button and get back in.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's probably something with his camera because mine's been
Speaker 1: doing that very recently as well, where it's kind of
Speaker 1: like weird and not sometimes it'll just blank randomly go out.
Speaker 1: So let's move on to a summer game fests, which
Speaker 1: very surprising, and I'm excited to hear what happens when
Speaker 1: we get to the game Awards. This kind of gives
Speaker 1: me some good vibes about is Jeff Keey finally turning
Speaker 1: the corner on some of these he seems to learn
Speaker 1: every year when it comes to these, like he's he's
Speaker 1: taking feedback and taking feedback, and it feels like this
Speaker 1: when he finally got all the feedback and said, hey,
Speaker 1: let's actually deal with people are asking, which is let's
Speaker 1: have different hosts. Let's let the devs at least some
Speaker 1: of the devs, like have a moment he had the
Speaker 1: Outer Sloth. When they did the Outer Sloth moment, they
Speaker 1: had a victorious range go up there and one of
Speaker 1: the devs and talk about it. It wasn't just him
Speaker 1: show a trailer him again and show a trailer like.
Speaker 1: He actually had a curious Joy up there doing fighting
Speaker 1: game stuff and also other things that weren't fighting games
Speaker 1: as well. So that was really cool to see that.
Speaker 1: Like Jeff's kind of branching out and not just spoking
Speaker 1: all about himself. That's good. These showcases should be about
Speaker 1: not just the games, with people to make them as well,
Speaker 1: and he made that a point. He has something about
Speaker 1: the industry which is different. He's not talked about the
Speaker 1: industry at all most of the time. He seems to
Speaker 1: ignore the layoffs and all that stuff. He talked about
Speaker 1: that on this thing, which is also good. I think
Speaker 1: I agree with some folks that have been saying that
Speaker 1: he probably should have prefaced us by saying this is
Speaker 1: probably not as crazy front loaded as it has been
Speaker 1: in the past, So don't expect being ridiculous or anything
Speaker 1: like out of the realm that you kind of don't
Speaker 1: know is coming soon, because that's kind of what this
Speaker 1: was a lot of. It was very heavy Indie on
Speaker 1: this show, and I think folks were kind of expecting
Speaker 1: a little bit more than that on this So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's definitely one of those where let's let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: But the one game that Mark and I talked about
Speaker 1: that was you know, kind of rumored once again, this
Speaker 1: biblicoon leaker has has been proven correct. Lego Horizon is
Speaker 1: a thing, and that was the leadoff to this thing.
Speaker 1: It actually was a different game than I thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna be. They didn't just cover everything that you
Speaker 1: would expect in a Lego game. It kind of felt
Speaker 1: like they tried to make it its own thing, injected
Speaker 1: a bunch of levity that you know, it's usually not
Speaker 1: in the Horizon games. It's gonna be interesting how they
Speaker 1: do the boss fights for the most part, because that
Speaker 1: is you know, it is a big deal in the
Speaker 1: Horizon games. So yeah, man, I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: liked what I saw. It's one of those things with
Speaker 1: the Lego games where I don't go out and buy
Speaker 1: them necessarily. You know, they're still very kid oriented, to
Speaker 1: be fair, So I'm sure if you have your kids
Speaker 1: there with you, you will go and probably buy that.
Speaker 1: And if you like that stuff, then sure, go ahead.
Speaker 1: It's just one of those where like, okay, when it
Speaker 1: comes to game Pass or something like that, it's usually
Speaker 1: when I go and check that out. Really, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a good showing, I thought, and for like
Speaker 1: the fact that Sony put that out there, and then
Speaker 1: it's also going to come to the Switch like yo,
Speaker 1: you know, like okay, okay, I mean they obviously took
Speaker 1: the the jab at Xbox there of like, it's definitely
Speaker 1: not coming there, but it's coming at least to everything else, right,
Speaker 1: so get excited about that. Oh, Marcus back.
Speaker 2: Just dies like halfway through where you know, Peter died. No,
Speaker 2: not my computer, it's my internet.
Speaker 1: Oh your internet died. Okay.
Speaker 2: Would be fine if it was like, oh, it's storming
Speaker 2: out here or you know, big ring, you know something.
Speaker 2: But no, it's funny, regular, nice day.
Speaker 1: Well, I just thought of the Summer Game. What did
Speaker 1: you think about? I guess the show in.
Speaker 2: General, I find some of the I had the host
Speaker 2: of the you know, the guest host or whatever wasn't great,
Speaker 2: but they very infrequently are uh you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I had said before you start out, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna disagree with you on the Curious Joy.
Speaker 1: I thought for kind of just being put up there
Speaker 1: in a spot where it's like it's not Sydney doing
Speaker 1: Game Awards, and she's very you know what, you know,
Speaker 1: she knows what she's doing, and I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problem is I don't know who that
Speaker 2: Curious Story person is. So they put her up there
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I mean's she's big in the game.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean what let me ask you this of
Speaker 2: the I mean we'll probably go into it when you
Speaker 2: start getting further into it, but what was like your
Speaker 2: game of that thing? Or do you have one?
Speaker 1: Uh? I really gotta think because I know I had
Speaker 1: a couple. The Flying Bean one was actually probably one
Speaker 1: of the highlights to be like this wasn't It was
Speaker 1: really kind of like I said, it was like a
Speaker 1: lot of big, heavy indie focus except for Quint towards
Speaker 1: the beginning and then the rest of it was not
Speaker 1: you know, the thing that you usually expect with this.
Speaker 1: What did you do you have like a game of
Speaker 1: the the show?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the Summer Games. Is that Power Anger game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Power Game was awesome. I will agree with that,
Speaker 1: of course, getting more metaphoria frontasio. I'm excited for that game.
Speaker 2: So you have any I mean I can't pre order
Speaker 2: it right at the moment, but having an alley Way
Speaker 2: two physical and like d LC is kind of cool. Fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad to hear that that's happening, because you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't buy that game because of that,
Speaker 1: so I'm glad that, you know, he got to go
Speaker 1: on there. And then we did get that Quidditch Champions
Speaker 1: game and it's coming out this year.
Speaker 2: Of the whole thing, Ye, how can it beat the
Speaker 2: p S one game? That's a big question.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know it'll do it.
Speaker 2: Also as nice SI seven that's the one that where
Speaker 2: Earth dies.
Speaker 1: Right, that's that's the one I'm gonna yeah.
Speaker 2: Like that Batman VR thing looked abysmal.
Speaker 1: Not with the Batman VR thing is you could literally
Speaker 1: hear the crowds just the shush over everyone. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know you're announcing it's on VR like that.
Speaker 2: That's one problem, but it's also like, oh, here's the
Speaker 2: big bad guy of this game, the rat Catcher. It's like,
Speaker 2: what was a condiment? King too high profile? You have
Speaker 2: to go for this villain.
Speaker 1: Well, you know the problem is, I think if you
Speaker 1: put in one of the big villains, super gonna complain
Speaker 1: more that you have one of the big villains in
Speaker 1: a in a VR game that loadingbour are not gonna
Speaker 1: go to play at all. So why not just test
Speaker 1: the water and see?
Speaker 2: You know? You know what they should do is have
Speaker 2: like a have Rippler be the bad guy and it
Speaker 2: would be like a puzzle game.
Speaker 1: Yeah they yeah, I mean they could do that. They
Speaker 1: could have done a Joker one. It's not like we
Speaker 1: haven't had Joking and things. I mean they could have.
Speaker 2: Done but the Joker's dead and continuity, right, I mean.
Speaker 1: They could have done Scarecrow and made it more of
Speaker 1: a kind of scare game horror game game. Uh. Another
Speaker 1: one that I've been keeping track of because I love
Speaker 1: Grease was never and this looked great obviously it keeps
Speaker 1: looking great.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The art style is amazing for this stuff, and so
Speaker 1: like they showed it off really well. I love the
Speaker 1: fact that they keep showing this and we get more
Speaker 1: of it and it's coming this year. So yeah, lots
Speaker 1: of there was. I was quite surprised with how much
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty five stuff there was. It's funny how
Speaker 1: like Jeff kept saying, oh, most of the stuff I've
Speaker 1: shown twenty twenty mores like not really full.
Speaker 2: He showed a lot of like DLC. It's like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: three Feeder six came out last year, but you're showing
Speaker 2: content you know, maybe it'll come out there.
Speaker 1: But you liked how they did that because it felt
Speaker 1: like they were trying to tell you. At first, I'll
Speaker 1: agree with the folks over a kind of funny that.
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be cap Converces that's in
Speaker 1: k or something. And then oh no, this is just
Speaker 1: season two. And then like three of the characters are
Speaker 1: from Vail Fury, Right, It's like, Okay, this is interesting
Speaker 1: how we did this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they might be just trying to test
Speaker 2: the waters, but I mean, at least two of those
Speaker 2: characters are important to Fatal Fury.
Speaker 1: The other one no, yeah, hey you got your SIEV
Speaker 1: seven yep reveal and Sid and I are got to
Speaker 1: go out there and in.
Speaker 2: A videotape in a video from the lobby of for Axis.
Speaker 1: Well, at least team was on there.
Speaker 2: You know, that's something I should have like he should
Speaker 2: have been like, oh, I got this, I got this
Speaker 2: other old guy helping me. And then he like pulled
Speaker 2: the curtain in it's little right, and then then the
Speaker 2: audience would have exploded.
Speaker 1: I can't see me and uh. One of the things
Speaker 1: I think was probably the I guess biggest surprise was
Speaker 1: the Blumhouse Blumhouse games, like just oh, it's not just
Speaker 1: one game that we're doing. It's like a whole big
Speaker 1: more of games that we're doing.
Speaker 2: I mean, next year, those people like the Blumhouse convention,
Speaker 2: you know they have films and games and yeah they'll
Speaker 2: have some band or something, horrorcore band and you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know those games. Look, they didn't look like
Speaker 2: Triple A games, but they're not going to the obviously
Speaker 2: going yeah yeah, and at least one or two of
Speaker 2: them was timely interesting. I mean that I'll play them,
Speaker 2: but sure, why not.
Speaker 1: I'd like the one that they the day of the
Speaker 1: dev so look great.
Speaker 2: Like supporting like you know, not I wouldn't even say
Speaker 2: be tier, but like C tier or you know, like
Speaker 2: those very indie games is always a generally good thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, like you said, I mean, horror
Speaker 1: games in the Indian sphere have been doing awesome, so
Speaker 1: why not kind of throw your hat in the ring
Speaker 1: and just go all right, oh the go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was gonna say, uh, I don't know the
Speaker 2: guy who did the trailer, but that everything they should
Speaker 2: about skate looked embarrassing as fuck, so bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that's not what I want to hear
Speaker 1: about when I hear about skate. But sure, all right, right,
Speaker 1: like why, I mean like they have to know, right,
Speaker 1: Like they have to know what people expect when you
Speaker 1: tell me we're doing a skate game, and that was
Speaker 1: not it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. EA seems pretty close about what people
Speaker 2: want anymore, so well.
Speaker 1: We'll get more in the EA. And when we got
Speaker 1: to talk about Xbox but a game that actually surprised
Speaker 1: me because I did not care for the first game
Speaker 1: at all, but yo, that's trailer for Kingdom cum Deliverance
Speaker 1: too Oho sold me on the like just how freaking
Speaker 1: crazy it is, Like that's not what I was accrecting
Speaker 1: at all from that game. So I was just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we just took it all up a notch. So just
Speaker 1: we're gonna kick everybody's ass and be h, just three
Speaker 1: and and save random shit. It's like, all right, that
Speaker 1: just works, I guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the first game did not have that vibe at all.
Speaker 1: It was like, really serious, we're trying to be almost
Speaker 1: like a medieval simulator kind of game or whatever, and
Speaker 1: like this this game just was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's just do it the total opposite.
Speaker 2: So that there's another game in another conference that did
Speaker 2: the same thing, only not as well.
Speaker 1: On that, I agree any anything else that the I
Speaker 1: guess set out to you.
Speaker 2: From some really you know, it seems fine, you know,
Speaker 2: mostly some good stuff. Uh yeah, I mean I was
Speaker 2: like I said that the game that jumped up to me,
Speaker 2: at least from the game stats was that power interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the power that's cool. And the fact that they're
Speaker 1: not just doing the side scrolling beat him up too,
Speaker 1: Like there's other genres in.
Speaker 2: There, all that first person stuff and then the vehicle stuff.
Speaker 2: And they had a very sly green ranger or a
Speaker 2: green roller coaster car like in one of the shots.
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, I know what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely they they went there, and I agree
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: The only thing I mean, they're probably gonna do some
Speaker 2: big collectors edition, which will be fine, but they should
Speaker 2: really try to get the voice cats back to that game,
Speaker 2: you know, from the TV show as much as they can. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and well, aside from Training and Jason and Tommy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you got three, you know, you got three actors
Speaker 2: who are still alive and still legal or not not
Speaker 2: in jail at the moment.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, I mean I guess they could, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to try to just
Speaker 1: steer clear from having the all the original voicecasts or not,
Speaker 1: just to not make the game costs more. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I immediately had super Nintendo Sega Genesis vibes when I
Speaker 1: saw the game, and then like the art style that
Speaker 1: they're too. So yep, yeah, interesting that this wound up
Speaker 1: probably being a lot of people's like in the top
Speaker 1: five games for the show. But hey, it looks good
Speaker 1: they're doing it. They're definitely taken a lot from the
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles what the did, right, you know, so good
Speaker 1: on them, Good on them for that. But I think overall,
Speaker 1: really this was another like if I had the great
Speaker 1: at like six out of ten show, It's not I
Speaker 1: didn't get wowed by this show at all, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: not as not as kind of I think you saw
Speaker 1: it was more man, but this was sort of on
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 2: I mean I was like, by like five, this is
Speaker 2: like a six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know what you're gonna say in
Speaker 1: the end. But the Xbox Events boy, phel Spencer did
Speaker 1: not joke around when he because look, they show called
Speaker 1: me at the beginning. We already knew they were doing
Speaker 1: call of Duty right at the end, So when that's
Speaker 1: it for call of Duty, I was just kind of
Speaker 1: probably getting the people that are watching at the beginning like,
Speaker 1: oh hey, there's a call of duty thing at the end.
Speaker 1: I don't really count that as the opener, but man,
Speaker 1: they wasted no time. Freaking dude right there the dark Ages,
Speaker 1: he looks freaking sick. Loved, loved, loved that entire thing,
Speaker 1: doing the shield bash thing, cutting people with it, like
Speaker 1: freaking looked.
Speaker 2: That shield thing remind me. Reminded me of too with
Speaker 2: the razor wind.
Speaker 1: I think that was what was called n I think
Speaker 1: Zombie Captain America also does it or whatever, So you
Speaker 1: know it, man, I just like when that had leaked previously,
Speaker 1: like right before they were gonna do the show, thankfully
Speaker 1: I had not Uh they were.
Speaker 2: They were like I think they were like rumors but
Speaker 2: nothing concrete and nothing like here's the trailer end.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, not not the full like sort of leak thing,
Speaker 1: but it did sort of feel they they did kind
Speaker 1: of just say, hey, uh, this is probably what that's
Speaker 1: gonna be. And I'm glad I did not get I
Speaker 1: didn't watch this live. I watched it like hours later,
Speaker 1: so I hadn't watched anything okay from it yet and
Speaker 1: I was happy at it, not because that was a
Speaker 1: super exciting moment for me of just getting too to
Speaker 1: see that. And then they did not like they didn't
Speaker 1: let down for a while after that. It was like bam,
Speaker 1: bam bam, big one. I mean, look, I know Stated
Speaker 1: of a K three compared to Doom is not the same,
Speaker 1: but like getting something from statey Of to K three
Speaker 1: was really cool after we hadn't heard anything about the
Speaker 1: game in a while, and I was happy to see that.
Speaker 2: So and they're gonna watch you to a bunch of
Speaker 2: good stuff. My My big problem with that with the
Speaker 2: Xbox uh conference was they showed a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: and I looked good except for two things. But it's
Speaker 2: a lot of like noncommittal dates or stuff that has
Speaker 2: been been in development for a long ass time and
Speaker 2: they're still going like we we're not showing this coming out.
Speaker 2: And it's like, yo, dog, Fable has been been You've
Speaker 2: been kicking on Fable for eight years, and you know
Speaker 2: something even have a you know, they're like, we're hoping
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. It's like, what, Like, what do you
Speaker 2: mean you're hoping twenty twenty five. You shud have like
Speaker 2: a fucking firm set and stone release date of it's
Speaker 2: coming out May sixteenth or you know, September ninth or whatever.
Speaker 1: Like I'm not too against it because I much rather
Speaker 1: than take their time and make this game and not
Speaker 1: feel like we got a pigeonhole and make it work.
Speaker 2: And all that stuff and work for crack Down three.
Speaker 1: Okay, well come on, we're gonna compare Crackdown. That's really unfair.
Speaker 1: I think it's like, look, we have so many problems
Speaker 1: with having to delay games and stuff. I'd rather them say, look,
Speaker 1: we're gonna give them the most time possible to get
Speaker 1: those games out. They already do have games coming in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, including Dragon a h this Dragonese vill
Speaker 1: Guard game, which I think we went from hearing nothing
Speaker 1: about this game to they changed the name to Vilguard
Speaker 1: to they just changed. It felt like they just changed
Speaker 1: a bunch of what the game. People thought the game
Speaker 1: was going to be, and then it turned out to.
Speaker 2: Be kind of this and people wanted and then the
Speaker 2: attach people don't want information about it anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I saw a lot of people were not
Speaker 1: to enthuse about this trailer, I guess, or that.
Speaker 2: Was the other I mean, it's not obviously EA's you know,
Speaker 2: on his bio erre, but that was like the other
Speaker 2: big miss of the Xbox conference. It's like, this looks
Speaker 2: legitimately bad.
Speaker 1: So why do you say that? Because I'm not a
Speaker 1: big dragon Age fan.
Speaker 2: I kind of the two reasons dragon Age, like the
Speaker 2: first one, even two and three each totalleser extent, always
Speaker 2: pride itself and of being like not self serious, but
Speaker 2: serious enough as a gain you know, a story or
Speaker 2: like a universe like this felt like Guardians of the
Speaker 2: Galaxy Medieval and no, like if you want to do that,
Speaker 2: like make another game or make another stupid universe or
Speaker 2: you know whatever. But like they have like these like
Speaker 2: characters that you know are going to be talking NonStop
Speaker 2: through the you know, through whatever mason you're on, like
Speaker 2: quipping like it looks awful. Like if you go compare
Speaker 2: like the Dragon Age one intro trailer or you know,
Speaker 2: the announcement trailer to like this thing, it's like what
Speaker 2: are these even like related at all? Like what the hell? Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, definitely, Like right I when they showed that first
Speaker 1: dred Wolf trailer, is that that's exactly what you said?
Speaker 1: It felt like, okay, so here's Dragon Age again. It's
Speaker 1: very serious. Yeah, we're going into this and then uh
Speaker 1: that comes on. I was like, well, okay, that's not
Speaker 1: what I was expecting. I think it's not what a
Speaker 1: lot of people are expecting.
Speaker 2: But it also looked like too colorful, because like Dragon
Speaker 2: Age always had kind of a muted esthetic to it,
Speaker 2: Like I thought I saw some people complaining like they
Speaker 2: overwatched it to death, you know, by having like very.
Speaker 1: I can see some of the comparison because that's some
Speaker 1: of the art style.
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially like I don't know, the stupid characters means,
Speaker 2: like the technacle Lady or the veil Lady or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's like yes, wow, okay, or like the one guy
Speaker 2: the mage Killer who looked.
Speaker 1: Like yeah it's a holy the dragon Hunter or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, please bring back iron Bil and of
Speaker 2: these other characters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they showed uh the Starfield good.
Speaker 2: I thought I was pretty or you know, I had
Speaker 2: like more of a personality than Starfield every Day.
Speaker 1: So right, yeah, definitely made you kind of interested with
Speaker 1: that dark uh that whole like kind of dark looked
Speaker 1: everything and kind of mysterious vibe. All that had to
Speaker 1: its supposed to be new stuff.
Speaker 2: So it was. I mean it's not Xbox exclusive, but
Speaker 2: I would say, actually the game to me, or like
Speaker 2: the game of this whole week or whatever was that
Speaker 2: Expedition thirty three game.
Speaker 1: Expedition thirty three. I was gonna get to that right
Speaker 1: after that, because I mean they did show the Fallout
Speaker 1: then You fall Out seventy six things as well, But
Speaker 1: this was a game I got totally shocked by as well.
Speaker 1: Just how beautiful it looks. I love the story. Ben
Speaker 1: Starr is doing the voice over, by the way.
Speaker 2: I order, and yeah, to me, it looks like a
Speaker 2: next generation version of like a Lost add See.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like also just like them randomly throwing in
Speaker 1: that that it was an RPG because you don't really
Speaker 1: know it until they show the gameplay part where it's
Speaker 1: like the whole party's there, and then it has kind
Speaker 1: of sort of like an action but turn based photo
Speaker 1: vibe too, so.
Speaker 2: Well, no, it looks like uh Lost Odyssey mixers like
Speaker 2: Mega man X Command Mission because you still he had
Speaker 2: like the turn counter in like the upper left hand corner. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it was extremely funny. I watched you know, Jeff
Speaker 2: Gertzman's uh stream on that and he liked, he like,
Speaker 2: I was cool. And then I watched parts of Asthma
Speaker 2: Golds and he was like, I watched that part and
Speaker 2: he's like, oh, this would be so much better as
Speaker 2: an action adventure game. And I'm like a million of those, yeah,
Speaker 2: Like there are a ton of those, Like how many
Speaker 2: j RK and music coming out that are actually like
Speaker 2: high quality or high scale, like we weren't even making
Speaker 2: them anymore or barely like come on, and for.
Speaker 1: Being like a sort of announced game and having an
Speaker 1: interesting concept, like that's what's good. You want those kind
Speaker 1: of games at your showcases that kind of are kind
Speaker 1: of going between the known quantities. So I thought this
Speaker 1: was cool. Yeah, South of South of Midnight also looked great,
Speaker 1: and here too. I didn't think it was gonna have
Speaker 1: a talking catfish or whatever when we saw it the
Speaker 1: first time, that little teaser that they showed the first time,
Speaker 1: But I'm down with that, Like sounded like a magical
Speaker 1: I guess she plays the the girl and she has
Speaker 1: like some magical powers. And then the freaking tree gator
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. It's like Jason.
Speaker 2: It reminded me of that for sixty game imagine in
Speaker 2: the Forsaken Kingdom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got some. I got some the spirits vibes
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, which that's a good game following.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The other big thing to me, and I don't
Speaker 2: know if I get ted or not, was that Life
Speaker 2: is Strange. Uh whatever it was called. I thought of you.
Speaker 1: When they showed it, I was like, okay, square Enix.
Speaker 1: I thought I was Vin'szmana again at first, and then
Speaker 1: they showed they started showing like Vin's the Manic characters,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, this is Life is Strange
Speaker 1: and then oh, okay, they're doing another one. Whoa.
Speaker 2: It was funny. Well there's two things, but that truck
Speaker 2: me kind of funny one. Is they better I don't
Speaker 2: know if they if she announced it, she's back, but
Speaker 2: they better get that original white actress back to that character. Okay,
Speaker 2: the other thing, and did you see the like the
Speaker 2: Square Enix uh discoursed on True Colors or I think
Speaker 2: that was that game?
Speaker 1: Like, yes, the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they thought it would a gay game. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: it's like, way to go making this one then where
Speaker 2: you get very strong gay vibes from already.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, like that's the weird thing too. It's
Speaker 1: just like that whole series has always been why I
Speaker 1: mean most of it, and I mean I guess obviously
Speaker 1: aside from that little short story with the kid, but
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I mean, most of this game series
Speaker 1: has been very beloved by you know, the community, So
Speaker 1: like why are we I get I get it that
Speaker 1: that was not supposed to be made public. Still, like,
Speaker 1: why would you even say that at all? I get
Speaker 1: different obviously, different cultures, right, different feelings on things. We
Speaker 1: have to put that into perspective as well, But so whatever,
Speaker 1: at least it's another screen next thing that was shown
Speaker 1: on here, Uh, the Xbox keeps deepening that relationship with
Speaker 1: them though. That's good on that end. Well, the war
Speaker 1: Craft got that announcement. I seriously thought that they were
Speaker 1: going to do the World of Warcrafts on Xbox thing
Speaker 1: because they kept showing parts of the first ever World
Speaker 1: of war Craft.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, it was weird because it's like, oh, this
Speaker 2: is like it was like a three or four minute
Speaker 2: long trailer and it's like, yeah, it's a three four
Speaker 2: minute long trailer of all the old cuttings in the
Speaker 2: past fourteen years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like exactly was. He showed a lot and they
Speaker 1: really show a lot of the war within almost everything
Speaker 1: they showed was old, and then it's like they kind
Speaker 1: of bled it into oh here's here's I guess some
Speaker 1: things from the new and then it's coming out at
Speaker 1: the at the end of August, so at least you
Speaker 1: got to release date for that, which they've been pretty
Speaker 1: consistent with, Like haven't they released it around like July
Speaker 1: August most of the time all the expansions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, late summer game or yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They also showed the Diablo for opening cinematic and
Speaker 1: that was kind of that.
Speaker 2: Was like, I mean, it's gross, but it told me
Speaker 2: none the story. I mean, it's barely it's like if
Speaker 2: you don't know who that character is. You're gonna what
Speaker 2: the fuck is this? You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely not for sure. One that surprised me
Speaker 1: Medagri Solid showing up in Here Delta that I thought
Speaker 1: they would make sure they showed that at a PlayStation thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and what did you think? I thought they showed pretty
Speaker 1: well for the most.
Speaker 2: It was good. I thought I was finding that people
Speaker 2: are bitch are complaining about how the boss looks old,
Speaker 2: and it's like, first of all, first of all, the
Speaker 2: boss is old like that I think I think in
Speaker 2: that game's supposed to be like late forties, so it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that makes sense. That tracks or you know, ah, I
Speaker 2: don't have to reusing them or not like reusing like
Speaker 2: the actual old dialogue, but like it's nice to hear
Speaker 2: David hayterback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely you can tell the difference and it
Speaker 1: sounds so natural for a new back doing that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks good. I'm not a huge middle gore solid person,
Speaker 1: but good that that is there and exists for people.
Speaker 1: And then they shut it off with this thing though.
Speaker 1: Good Yeah, good on Xbox or get for sure, I'm
Speaker 1: I thought the flint Lock Seon game looked good as well.
Speaker 1: It's probably gonna be just you know, like one of
Speaker 1: those seven's or eight games. But again, you got to
Speaker 1: have those kind of things in there, right, And then
Speaker 1: they showed perfect Dark. Uh didn't expect that and here
Speaker 1: at all, and wow, they just yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that game well, I think what they showed
Speaker 2: looked really great. I don't think that's.
Speaker 1: Any of the game, you know, I well, that's the gameplay.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Well they so they said that it's going to be
Speaker 1: parts different parts, right, it's gonna have like a mercer
Speaker 1: sim stuff. It's gonna have stuff like detective stuff. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna be all just like FPS, no kind.
Speaker 2: Of that's I mean, that's fine. Like I don't want
Speaker 2: it to be Call of Duty, you know, righth My
Speaker 2: problem is I just got it just seemed almost like
Speaker 2: almost like a VR game or you know, you know
Speaker 2: when trailers tried to snow you in the past, like, uh,
Speaker 2: what's the stupid not it's not Resistance, what's the other
Speaker 2: what's the other one that Sony made with the stupid
Speaker 2: hell gas kill Zone? Yeah, it seemed like the kill
Speaker 2: Zone two trailer, and it's like this all looks really great,
Speaker 2: but this also looks nothing like game like what you're
Speaker 2: gonna actually do in this game.
Speaker 1: I mean there's some Mirror's Edge vibes in here with
Speaker 1: how she moves around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, things like that.
Speaker 1: You can get some of the Crystal dynamics like vibe.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some tomb Raider in here too.
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to also kind of be like metro
Speaker 2: Venia esque or whatever, where it's like, oh, on this mission,
Speaker 2: you unlock this new piece of gear, so if you
Speaker 2: go back you can replay old missions with you know,
Speaker 2: now I got this rope that you can use to
Speaker 2: get around easier or to unlock this door or whatever.
Speaker 2: Or you know, you got like this hacker tool that
Speaker 2: you can unlock different, new, newer door or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I wonder what all the like is. Does
Speaker 1: she have things that happened to her in her mind
Speaker 1: that she goes back in and why they have all
Speaker 1: that stuff where it gets fuzzy for her and stuff
Speaker 1: that'd be interesting to find out.
Speaker 2: I imagine that looked like it was like a VR
Speaker 2: mode or like it was like VR training or something
Speaker 2: like that, because I think in that game, Carrington's also
Speaker 2: a good guy. So in the game, they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: Carrington's like has the nuke, and it's like, okay, but
Speaker 2: I know you work for Carrington, so okay.
Speaker 1: That's definitely one of the ones that I was kind
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, they don't ever release states, so maybe
Speaker 1: they don't want to be pushing people. But good that
Speaker 1: they were able to get a trailer for it, I mean,
Speaker 1: because all the bad stuff we've heard with that game,
Speaker 1: so right, uh, they should Fable, I thought, no more,
Speaker 1: they showed bits of gameplay here within in it, like
Speaker 1: you said twenty five.
Speaker 2: So I had two other thoughts about Fable. The first
Speaker 2: was I couldn't place that British actor at all, and
Speaker 2: I still can't like your hero mentor or whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh the guy that's telling, yeah, the story.
Speaker 2: And soone I recognize and this can't place, you know.
Speaker 2: And the other thing is looks like he kind of
Speaker 2: directly references the like the character being a female or
Speaker 2: a woman, right, So I was curious, like, are they
Speaker 2: going to have the old Fable customization option or is
Speaker 2: it just going to be like you're playing this girl
Speaker 2: because it kind of looks like you're just playing this girl.
Speaker 1: I mean, it does definitely feel that they are making
Speaker 1: her the main protagonists for sure.
Speaker 2: And let me give a thought of all the usual
Speaker 2: YouTube insults losing their mind over this.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm I mean they always do because of you know,
Speaker 1: how she looks or whatever, the whole uh you know
Speaker 1: that she was one of the ones brought up with
Speaker 1: the whole Stuther Blade stuff about oh, she doesn't look
Speaker 1: anything like the model that they used and muddles much
Speaker 1: prettier than what they put in the game. Whatever. It's like, Yo,
Speaker 1: it's a game, guys. Uh Ana Perna always has amazing
Speaker 1: games when they do these and mixtape. This is the
Speaker 1: next one from the Oh my god, I love that
Speaker 1: game and now I can't remember it, the one where
Speaker 1: it's like a narrative game and you're you're playing that
Speaker 1: guy with the guitar and jumping like just jumping through
Speaker 1: like warorlds and stuff. I can't remember the game right now,
Speaker 1: but it's from that team. And this looks freaking awesome.
Speaker 1: Soundtrack equally just amazing our full Escape exactly, that's what it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this game looks great. I'm excited it's gonna be on
Speaker 1: game pest. It makes you more excited ready for this game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like this is one of the ones that again these
Speaker 1: like unknowns, this really I think delivered, made it help
Speaker 1: make this showcase fantastic, and that Xbox brought their stuff
Speaker 1: and they also brought some really cool other things to this.
Speaker 1: So yeah, mixtape was one of the cool ones.
Speaker 2: Oh that wander Stop game with kind of interesting also, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Agreed on that didnt he had a Jones stuff I
Speaker 1: thought didn't hit as great. It looked kind of slow
Speaker 1: for the most Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean it may not just be optimized correctly. But
Speaker 2: also like who knows, I mean, it's not it's not
Speaker 2: like Doom or it's not Wolfenstein where you're supposed to
Speaker 2: be like this hugely badass character, you know, like a
Speaker 2: part like left and Right.
Speaker 1: Definitely not.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: They also keep showing like cut scenes from that game,
Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, I get it, you're your people
Speaker 1: want to see the Harrison Ford and the like the
Speaker 1: voice and and all that stuff. Like, I get it
Speaker 1: you want to, but I mean I'm gonna be playing
Speaker 1: the game mostly, so I don't know. I feel like
Speaker 1: they keep snippets of the game point and they want
Speaker 1: to show you these big long like cutting parts and
Speaker 1: I was like.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I guess for like all about another
Speaker 2: forward stand in whatever it looks fine. I had more
Speaker 2: a problem with the bad guy, like it's just like okay,
Speaker 2: oh the Russian guy. Yeah, some Russian Nazi and I
Speaker 2: can't wait.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I fall looked interesting for what it is they
Speaker 1: showed more about which that looks fine.
Speaker 2: Thought that flight simulator twenty twenty Florida really cool.
Speaker 1: Yes, the getting to show like the jobs and stuff
Speaker 1: you can have in that game.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Was they going in the hot air balloon kind of
Speaker 1: surprise at the end too of that being in there.
Speaker 1: So uh they they got the license re united interesting
Speaker 1: for that too. When if there's other like American commercial
Speaker 1: carriers that are going to be in there are just
Speaker 1: them because they quickly went from United to like Air
Speaker 1: France and uh.
Speaker 2: So where's where's the mission to keep the boeing.
Speaker 1: Jesus I go there? Of course, the they had Sarabon
Speaker 1: and May came in at the at the towards the
Speaker 1: middle to do the Diablo right after Prey Dark and
Speaker 1: then to do the Diablo intro to kind of give
Speaker 1: praise to all of the the different studios. Uh Sarabon
Speaker 1: came at the end and talked after Stalker two, which
Speaker 1: was like the last kind of known games they showed,
Speaker 1: then they kind of showed off the there's now going
Speaker 1: to be two Terrorbyte Xbox uh two, Terribied Xbox Series
Speaker 1: X and then uh series like one Terribied Series S and.
Speaker 2: And Series X. Yeah, well it's that exist yasrib.
Speaker 1: Yeah sans disc exactly which, Okay, I guess is that
Speaker 1: going to be cheaper? They didn't really you know, list
Speaker 1: prices or anything. The thing I think people were hoping
Speaker 1: we would see which Phil Spencer was on an IGN
Speaker 1: Live that they did like not too long after this,
Speaker 1: and he hinted at again sort of hinted at there
Speaker 1: might be a portable, but he didn't. The only thing
Speaker 1: he confirmed was that if they did do a portable,
Speaker 1: they wanted to have local play. It's not going to
Speaker 1: be cloud based or whatever like some of the other
Speaker 1: ones have been.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, and they kind of left it at reading between
Speaker 1: the lines to whatever you think that means. Then the
Speaker 1: last game will was not Gear six, It was Gears
Speaker 1: they ah and interesting it is basically going backwards and
Speaker 1: doing like a prequel for Gears, so you can do
Speaker 1: young Marcus and young Dom here that they shut off,
Speaker 1: and yeah, man' I love Gears. I'm excited for this.
Speaker 1: I'm happy that they're doing this. We finally got the revealed.
Speaker 2: So it was I mean they also said that you know,
Speaker 2: oh uh, you know the Gears for Insie storyline will
Speaker 2: continue or you know, we're still working on it. It's
Speaker 2: like this is kind of a tacit admission that you're
Speaker 2: not or that guy story one has failed.
Speaker 1: Like no, I think what they're trying to do is
Speaker 1: like this version of the Coalition, which is not the
Speaker 1: same version of the Coalition or the Gears team, you know,
Speaker 1: because that was all Cliffy b and all that stuff
Speaker 1: that they're original like Gears, like especially one to three.
Speaker 1: So like, let this version of the team that makes
Speaker 1: Gears kind of do their own spin on Marcus and
Speaker 1: Dom and and all of that early Gear stuff and
Speaker 1: then kind of continue like it's been a while for Gears, right,
Speaker 1: so like let people know where the if you bring
Speaker 1: back the old characters, let people know where the kind
Speaker 1: of the whole thing stands for you just dive into
Speaker 1: Gears sick. I think it lets people kind of refresh
Speaker 1: on Gears. I don't know if they're finally going to
Speaker 1: do that Gears collection remaster collection that they keep rumoring
Speaker 1: is happening, because that's been a rumor for a long
Speaker 1: time that it wasn't supposed to just be Gears one.
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be all of it, just like Halo.
Speaker 1: They just didn't do it for whatever reason. Uh So, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 2: I find enough idea, But like I said, I think
Speaker 2: it's just kind of a I mean that come out
Speaker 2: and say it, but I think it's an admission that,
Speaker 2: you know, no one cared about La Marcus and the
Speaker 2: girl and the other guy, like we tried, but people
Speaker 2: like what they like. So now I'm gonna mind. Now
Speaker 2: you're gonna mind Marcus and down to death.
Speaker 1: You aren't wrong there in a sense of why not
Speaker 1: go with what you know? Yeah, and then also let
Speaker 1: people kind of that haven't played Gears in a while,
Speaker 1: that know nothing about Gears four and five or whatever
Speaker 1: kind of get back into it and go from there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it for the Xbox thing. I thought they had
Speaker 1: the best showcase of the entire Weekend, not that they
Speaker 1: had a lot of competition, to be honest, but it
Speaker 1: was probably one of the best Xbox showcases they've had
Speaker 1: a long time, just from well last years was really
Speaker 1: good too, but like they showed a lot of what
Speaker 1: people actually wanted to know about, and they still have
Speaker 1: some stuff like left that let's see, right, But I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm almost all the the only big franchise aside from
Speaker 1: the obvious Halo because they're pretty much just doing Halo
Speaker 1: Infinite right now. It's like, okay, we were not doing
Speaker 1: Fours the Horizon quickly right after Fours the Motorsport, so
Speaker 1: we don't have a fordsa thing. But everything else was
Speaker 1: was pretty much there, you know, Startfield, fall Out seventy six,
Speaker 1: all the but does the stuff do you know? Fable
Speaker 1: all that was there, Gears.
Speaker 2: Everything except for Silk Song, which is the one that should.
Speaker 1: Have right, Like that's so weird, Like there's it's kind
Speaker 1: of just weird that Silk Song still doesn't made the
Speaker 1: appearance yet, right Like we thought Silk Song would. If
Speaker 1: it's gonna show up anything, because its supposed to be
Speaker 1: in game Pass, it would have been here. Because everything
Speaker 1: they showed in this thing. I don't wonder if they
Speaker 1: said that the middle Gersauad Delta was, but everything else, Uh,
Speaker 1: it says played on game Pass or day one game
Speaker 1: Pass or whatever. So they really made a big deal
Speaker 1: about that too. I think they also needed to again
Speaker 1: because of the whole people have been talking so much.
Speaker 1: We've talked about it, everybody's talked about it about how,
Speaker 1: you know, game pass, this game pest is not doing
Speaker 1: what it needs to kind of thing. And Phil talked
Speaker 1: about that on the IGN Live as well, about how
Speaker 1: he doesn't look at subscription numbers anymore with it. He's
Speaker 1: just looking how long people play. I don't know how
Speaker 1: long that actually lasts. Like I assuming game Past has to,
Speaker 1: you know, get subscribers or they're going to have an
Speaker 1: issue in a point.
Speaker 2: Not his bonus was no longer tied to subscriber counts,
Speaker 2: so he's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably a lot of people's bonuses are probably not
Speaker 1: tie of subscriber counts anyone. The last thing that I
Speaker 1: really watched, because I think I only watched like the
Speaker 1: first twenty minutes that feature game show was The Day
Speaker 1: of the Devs, which aired right after Summer Game Fest.
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Battle Vision Network game from just them,
Speaker 1: the Kafi Bar guys, just taking My Magic Class of Heroes,
Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite games ever, and they're
Speaker 1: just saying, we're gonna take this game and we're gonna
Speaker 1: somehow make it even more deep and better.
Speaker 2: And I was down with that Class of Heroes. And
Speaker 2: they remade it and they put out a remastered version
Speaker 2: of it, and it was like not good, which is yetunate.
Speaker 1: I still played the original like three sixties.
Speaker 2: It's always funny to me like that companies like remake
Speaker 2: or remaster their games and they suck it up constantly.
Speaker 2: It's like, it shouldn't be that hard.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know why that one was so
Speaker 1: difficult to do. It was very simple gameplay.
Speaker 2: It had some like balancing issues initially, so they tried
Speaker 2: to like rebalance it, but it's like people obviously like
Speaker 2: those issues, so I just kept it, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: keep it that way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What they seemed to add on this one was the
Speaker 1: that now you're not just gonna it's not about like
Speaker 1: clearing the whole field or whatever it's about. There's also
Speaker 1: like offensive and defensive guards that you can make also,
Speaker 1: so you kind of have to like be on your
Speaker 1: toes because you can wind up actually reversing the field
Speaker 1: and giving them a win instead. So it's it's cool.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they they did that, and they changed
Speaker 1: it a bit on that. Another one for me that
Speaker 1: looked cool is that Karma Dark World game, which is like,
Speaker 1: it's a studio in China that made it, and it's
Speaker 1: like a first person narrative game. You play as a
Speaker 1: guy that's in like a dystopian like nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 1: and it just kind of looks like really awesome. So
Speaker 1: a lot of psychological horror stuff in there. So always
Speaker 1: down for that kind of stuff. The first game they
Speaker 1: showed off from the Bloomhouse people, I think, and I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I don't remember which one it was now, But another
Speaker 1: game that they showed off that I liked, well, it
Speaker 1: was actually it's a group of games, so the people
Speaker 1: that made Blunky one and two, the Mossmouth people, they
Speaker 1: made like this UFO fifty game that has like fifty
Speaker 1: different games in it. Some are bigger, some are smaller.
Speaker 1: It's actually coming out this year on Steam September eighteenth,
Speaker 1: and it's just for the neat that they're doing something
Speaker 1: like that, so you don't have to like subscribe to
Speaker 1: this whole big thing. They're just making it themselves. So
Speaker 1: I thought that was neat that we're we're doing that,
Speaker 1: So shout out to them as well for doing that.
Speaker 1: And another one that I thought was cool because it
Speaker 1: looks like kind of looks like a game like they
Speaker 1: took Pokemon or a sort of game Boy version of
Speaker 1: Pokemon and made this game where you're like this boy
Speaker 1: with a motorcycle when he has his dog with him,
Speaker 1: called Pedal Runner. That's cool. This is that UFL fifty
Speaker 1: stuff also that they showed in there, But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: they had some some decent thing And what's interesting, totally
Speaker 1: repeat a lot on the day of the devs. They
Speaker 1: show different games every time, other than like a Ranger,
Speaker 1: which has been shown several times different places, but a
Speaker 1: lot of times they really do try to showcase different games,
Speaker 1: So I give a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 2: They're for a minute of airtime.
Speaker 1: Oh no, definitely not, they're definitely not doing that. Glad
Speaker 1: to hear more about After lovep also because of step
Speaker 1: into the creator of that game unfortunately passing away. I'm
Speaker 1: glad that that game still going. It was one that
Speaker 1: I was excited about when I first saw it on
Speaker 1: like A ten five years ago. So yeah, man, uh
Speaker 1: there was like a games agree. I'm sure there was
Speaker 1: some cool games on some of the other ones as well.
Speaker 1: I just didn't have time to watch all that is
Speaker 1: a lot, right, anything else you wanted to talk about?
Speaker 1: All right? Did you play anything?
Speaker 2: Or yeah? Marius sixty four?
Speaker 1: Hey what I was going to go back to sixty and.
Speaker 2: I tried to get I bought I spot like seven
Speaker 2: sixty four games from a dude on Facebook marketplace. How
Speaker 2: did that go?
Speaker 1: Did you actually get them?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean he put the ad up and
Speaker 2: he got like slam doing with the media because he
Speaker 2: was offering up. I got Marks sixty four, Wave Race
Speaker 2: sixty four. Oh at zero X what else? Uh? Damn it? Sorry,
Speaker 2: Blast Corps, TANNEDI, Snowboarding, Armyment's and Armyments are just heroes
Speaker 2: too and or for forty bucks?
Speaker 1: Yeah, not bad at all, like the press up one
Speaker 1: of those.
Speaker 2: Well, like Mario and Wave Race and uh F zero
Speaker 2: each like thirty bucks each like eBay pricing or whatever.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but Blastcore and Rampage have like some weird
Speaker 2: damage to them. He said he like spilled solvent on
Speaker 2: them or like some weird chemical. So okay, a little
Speaker 2: funky ramping, like they just have like kind of shell damage,
Speaker 2: but like blast Corps like wasn't working correctly. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Like the other game is a dirty like nothing got
Speaker 2: inside of that, I don't think. But it's just like yeah,
Speaker 2: dirt or something. But right, anything else is fine.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah that word. And then a new characters to Grand
Speaker 2: Blue Fantasy Reeling. It's like a Ryan for them.
Speaker 1: Is that a lot of characters just like a few.
Speaker 2: I think they just added the main boss or like
Speaker 2: the super overpowered character, which I'm sure is going to
Speaker 2: be when you unlock them.
Speaker 1: Okay, well uh looking at just to go ahead and
Speaker 1: end this thing. Here the upcoming games for this week.
Speaker 1: Uh so we did the show. Next time, U V
