WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:05.320 You'll bear. 2 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:14.880 It's gonna be a good one because we have Jason 3 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.320 Bonelli on the show. Jason, how are you doing? Recovering? 4 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:19.239 That's how I'm doing. 5 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.519 It was a crazy, crazy weekend of video games. Video 6 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.879 games definitely happened this that they happened. There was very 7 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.280 many video games, but a lot of great things to 8 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.079 talk about. I will have, as I was saying in 9 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.679 the pre show, fifteen previews across three different. 10 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.280 Websites, artists, working Man and video games. 11 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.000 Everybody not there, No I'm not that's obviously Phil Spencer. 12 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:53.079 But h yeah, So fifteen across three different websites, got 13 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:54.679 a lot of cool stuff we can talk about. One 14 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.640 embargo just went up as we began, and we'll definitely 15 00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:58.920 get into that a little bit later. 16 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.560 Yeah, yeah, you know what, let's let's uh, let me 17 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.359 see here. Let's should we get anything out of the way, 18 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.680 you know what, No, let's just talk about it now. 19 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.159 We'll do the spiel here in a second. Oh, we 20 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.200 could talk about capcom stuff. So Yepout had a little 21 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:12.599 bit of a presence, and by a little bit, I 22 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.200 mean the biggest presence at Summer Game Fest. They definitely 23 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.159 were like the anchor right, They kind of made the 24 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:19.680 whole thing makes sense. At a certain point, it was 25 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.840 all I mean, I loved so many games I saw there, 26 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.519 but at a certain points, like everyone else, everyone else 27 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.120 bringing out their games kind of is justified by Capcom 28 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.799 going and you'll get to see Resident Evil as well. Yes, 29 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.319 makes everyone's trip a little bit more worth it. And 30 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.400 we did get to see Resident Evil requiem. I think 31 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.200 both you and I got to watch it played in 32 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:38.799 a video. There were some people that got to go 33 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.040 hands on with it. They played the same thing that 34 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.439 we saw, So it's you know, kind of for purposes 35 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:46.519 of I don't know, do they still do the Judges 36 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.040 Week stuff? I have no idea, but yeah, we saw that, 37 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.400 we saw Pragmata, and we saw some Annie Musha. 38 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:54.480 Where do you want to start? Should we just let's 39 00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:55.239 start with Anni Musha? 40 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.159 Maybe? Yes? I thought that. See first, when that first 41 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.879 trailer came out, I thought they're going to go full 42 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.159 like Dark Souls Ony Musha with this. But and I 43 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.159 kind of worried about that because from Soft and I 44 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.080 don't really get along. 45 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.840 It's a lot a little bit more from Soft, just 46 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:13.879 a tiny bit. Yeah, not much. 47 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.560 You still have the I love the whole countering thing 48 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.159 when they showed him just standing there surrounded by enemies 49 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.719 and you're just holding the block button and he just 50 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.439 going like he's blocking here, he's blocking behind him. That 51 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.280 was awesome. But no, I really liked what I saw there. 52 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.240 I like the combat, I like the story that they're telling. 53 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.639 I like that really like really sleazy looking dude that 54 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.439 comes after you're right at the end there, I can't 55 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.560 wait to kick his ass. It's yeah, I'm very much 56 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.280 digging what they showed us of that to the point 57 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.800 where I'm a little more confident in it after my 58 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.240 initial potential from soft style worries. I really really dug it. 59 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.960 Yeah, I agree. I thought it looked really style issue, right, that. 60 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.199 Sort of flamboyant enemy that had just like a really 61 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.439 awesome style to him really made me want to get 62 00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:58.599 in there and be like, Okay, I can't wait to 63 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.280 see what else is going on with these enemies. Just 64 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.560 a lot of character, a lot of personality, and and 65 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.719 then You're right, it just it looked fantastic. I'm I'm 66 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.639 always gonna kind of pop when the when Maffune shows 67 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.199 up and anything, and then basing this character's visual style 68 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:13.639 on Toshiro Maffun. 69 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.759 I think it's right. That looked awesome just all around. 70 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.240 Like I always had an appreciation for Ani Musha from 71 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.159 a distance, I've never really played much of those games. 72 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.680 Seeing this made me. 73 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.680 Want to go back and like check out that Ani 74 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.680 Musha too remastered that they've released recently, and I think 75 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.360 there's a I think there's a collection of one and 76 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:32.319 two on the switch. 77 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:33.599 I'm like, God, that'd be a. 78 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.080 Fun thing to have on the switch too, if I 79 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.280 can make some time for it. But I'm definitely looking 80 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.879 forward to this one. This is it's Aye Musha Way 81 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.800 of the Sword. Is that that's the name of the game, 82 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.879 I believe. Yeah, So it looked really promising, looked really cool, 83 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.719 and then we've got to play Pragmata. 84 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.000 It exists. It exists. 85 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.680 It's a real game, which I'm I'm a little disappointed by. 86 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.280 I always love having our deep downs. I always just 87 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.000 love having a game. I can always joke about it 88 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.039 that never came out. Isn't that funny? And you know, 89 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.960 I'm talking to people and like I bring out Pragmata 90 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.319 and I'm like, it's not like deep down. Brad Shoemakers 91 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.080 and me like, yeah, deep down, it's like yeah, is 92 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:10.840 that Like He's like that's what I always think of too, 93 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.479 and it's like yeah, right, isn't that the kind of 94 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.719 thing that they enjoy having? But we played it and 95 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.000 I thought this thing is really cool. I really you 96 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.279 were telling me about it and then went to go 97 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.000 play it, and it was kind of like, following what 98 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.720 you're saying, I'm like, okay, so there's like a puzzle 99 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.639 mechanic in the combat, and that's exactly what it is. 100 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.920 There's a hacking mini game that you sort of need 101 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.839 to do to bring down the shields of these you know, 102 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.560 automaton enemies that have this digital shield around them, and 103 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.399 you have like this little girl and this little girl 104 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.800 android on your back that has magical powers that can 105 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.120 bring down that shield. Basically, she's just hacks them and 106 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.519 it's a little hacking mini game where you're moving. It's 107 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.680 kind of like a slide puzzle, not really, but you're 108 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.360 just trying to do a pathway through this grid, and 109 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.199 the more blue tiles you move the thing through to 110 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.560 get to the green tile, the Memori'll take down their shields. 111 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.639 It's really basic. 112 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.399 But I think it's a really cool thing to sort 113 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.120 of make the combat feel even more engaging. 114 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.560 I was into it. How did you find pragmata? 115 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.439 I agree one hundred percent. I feel like without that, 116 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.399 it's just a generic third person shooter, right, So to 117 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.040 add this little extra wrinkle, and like as they're approaching you, 118 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.680 if you're messing up this puzzle, it gets really really tense, 119 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.720 like when they're in your face and you're right at 120 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.160 the end and it finally breaks, especially with that one 121 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.040 big guy who just kind of like jumped on you 122 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.240 when he first showed up right before I went in there, 123 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.399 and maybe this sort of framed my reference. I saw 124 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.439 Alissa Mrconte who said to me, it's third person shooting, 125 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.519 but there's going to be a hell diver's element and 126 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.279 you're not going to expect it. And essentially it's calling 127 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.920 for reinforcements. Right, you have to press the right buttons 128 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.519 in the right sequence, only this time you're following the 129 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.879 path triangles up Ex's down, circle is right, square is left, 130 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.079 and you're trying to follow that whole thing. 131 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.199 It was cool because it's like there would be some 132 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.600 like these gray cells that you couldn't go through and 133 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.319 they would create just a little bit of a roadblock, 134 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:05.800 so you'd look at it really quick. It's like, wait, 135 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.480 so if I go down and I sort of spiral 136 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.639 my path all the way around to avoid that, I 137 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.279 could still get all of these blue tiles and then 138 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.519 ramp back around to finish on the green tile. 139 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.120 And it's like, oh, I just. 140 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.800 Felt a little clever, which is a great feeling to 141 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.240 have in the middle of combat. 142 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.920 Yeah, and I wonder how complicated that's going to get. 143 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.800 I could see bosses having either a bigger grid or 144 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.279 a more of those blocking nodes, so you have to 145 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.360 follow the set path, right, but one of those things 146 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.639 where like I think of like a one of those 147 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.000 stages in a two D platformer where you have to 148 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.439 like duck underneath to dodge the things that are always 149 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.040 coming from one direction. So like maybe the blue note 150 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.439 is down here, so you go down, you scoot, you wait, 151 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.639 and you go back up and you and then like 152 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.199 that kind of challenge. There's definitely ways to iterate on 153 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.399 it to make it seem less monotonous as you get 154 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:58.800 through the rest of the game, so I can see 155 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.120 where they can build on it. I kind of as 156 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.839 long as the story is interesting, I kind of like 157 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.879 their vision. Like I'm not I'm not like, oh wow, 158 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.360 what the hell's going on with prag MODA. I'm like, Okay, PRAGMDA, 159 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.480 I see what you're doing here. Pretty pretty cool exactly. 160 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:12.720 Yeah. 161 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.759 I think that first trailer forever ago, five plus years ago, 162 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.000 I was like, well, it looks like they're trying to 163 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.439 be a little Kojima, And now that I don't feel 164 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.480 that way anymore. Now it's just cool looking sci fi 165 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.959 game with a combat system that has just a little 166 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:27.600 salt put on top to keep it make it a 167 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.240 little bit more flavorful, which is maybe all I really need. Yeah, 168 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.519 because you know, I enjoy shooting in a video game. 169 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:34.959 Give me a little bit more to do and I'll 170 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:36.959 be happy. Yeah, that's right. That turns out to be 171 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.600 exactly the case. And Weird Capcom weird Capcom is good Capcom. 172 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.839 Last time we got weird Capcom, we got Kanisagami and 173 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:43.720 that's great exactly. 174 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.839 So yeah, I mean even Exo Primal I really enjoyed. 175 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.439 That's a really good seven out of ten, and h like, 176 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.160 I'll take more of that. And I think PRAGMDA has 177 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.040 a good chance of being even better than that, although, 178 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:57.639 although if it's in that seven to eight out. 179 00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.319 Of ten range, and you know, what are numbers? Who cares? 180 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.360 But seven, seven, eight out of ten in that range, 181 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.399 I'll be like, oh, fantastic a new capcom game. That 182 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.439 was pretty fun and interesting, and then hey, we're still 183 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.879 getting the Resident Evils and monster Hunters. 184 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.560 And speaking of. 185 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.279 Resident Evil, Resident Evil Requiem, the Q is a nine. 186 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.800 It was scare now the Q is a nine. I 187 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:20.199 think I believe that was a subtitle. 188 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.600 I think I saw you right after I got out 189 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.079 of there, and the way I could describe it best, 190 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.040 that trailer was clenching my ass for thirty minutes. That's 191 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.920 basically what it was I was seeing in the theater 192 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.519 going and I can prove it if you go to 193 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:39.000 the RI Games Instagram. They posted a montage of fan reactions. 194 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.720 Those motherfuckers were recording us as we were watching this. 195 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.279 They got me nodding off during one of those things 196 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.879 because it was too comfortable in there and I was 197 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:47.480 falling asleep. 198 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.320 The first clip you see is like Maximilian dude, and 199 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.000 uh Simmons is right next to him, I think, and 200 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.440 then right over his left right over his right shoulder 201 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.159 is just me going so yeah, So it was, uh, 202 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.240 oh my god, they wow. It's so I left in 203 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:10.120 two minds, terrified and very curious about what's going on. 204 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:11.720 Why is she in an old timey hospital? 205 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:12.200 How old? 206 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:13.279 You know what I mean? 207 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:13.399 Like? 208 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.600 Why is why is that the thing? Who is this 209 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.279 hulking mammoth? I have an idea who that hulking mammoth is? 210 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:20.559 I don't know if I talk to you about that, 211 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:25.080 but yeah, there's like lower implications that I'm like, and 212 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.000 as scary cat as I am with horror games, Resident Evil, 213 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.480 it's always been one that's really fascinated me. So to 214 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:34.440 hear the name Ashcroft and reference Outbreak, to see this 215 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.000 hulking behemoth female clearly a female because the way the 216 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:39.440 hair looks, and I don't know if I don't know 217 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:40.639 if the coublic's going to get to see it. So 218 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.639 I'm trying to be a descriptive like yeah, it was just. 219 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.840 Like, so the thing is up, but is there like 220 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.320 are they going to post that trailer or that gain? 221 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:48.000 I don't know. 222 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.519 I don't know, but I have I have a couple 223 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.360 of thoughts based on Again, I was talking to Maximilian 224 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.759 before we went into the theater, and he had some thoughts, 225 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.360 some theories about the trailer and what it shows and 226 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.080 why it's showing it, and just really really interesting theory 227 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:08.559 crafting stuff that has my gears turning. But yeah, man, 228 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:13.480 holy crap. They have the mood, they have the they 229 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.440 have the the the scare, the scare factor, and I 230 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.799 think this is obviously and border goes up so we 231 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.159 can talk about this. They have both first and third 232 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.399 person especial it on the fly Beau. They ended it 233 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.240 so they showed us this. 234 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.279 This long sequence in first person of a big, tall, 235 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.799 scary lady following us and chasing us down that she's 236 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.240 the big monster at least in this sequence. 237 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.440 Through what, like you said, I think, looked like a hospital. 238 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.600 And then the way they finished it is going into 239 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.600 the menus and it's going from first person going over 240 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.799 to third person, and then it just looks like Resident 241 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.559 Evil for Like it's over the shoulder. It looks exactly 242 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.840 like Resident Evil for in terms of perspective. And then 243 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.559 it seemed to imply like, yeah, this is not just like, oh, 244 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.799 we're an option, like the secondary option it is. It 245 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.679 seems to be a completely viable way to play this game. 246 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:02.399 If that's what you prefer. 247 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.279 Yeah, somebody in Chad asked what my T shirt was. 248 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.519 It's Yuri from Street Fighter six and Tony Store from 249 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.080 oili at Wrestling. But yeah, yeah, just some some wild, 250 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.960 wild stuff, And I think that's awesome. I think the 251 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.759 fact that you can switch between first and third is good. 252 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.399 That's a that's an accessibility thing that I think not 253 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:21.080 many people think about. Motion sickness is a thing. I 254 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.519 had a regular backed when I worked in the retail 255 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.519 gaming trenches who was so motion sick by first person, 256 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.960 could not watch someone else play it. It was that bad. 257 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.080 So that that person is now able to enjoy Resident 258 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.360 Evil nine after not being able to enjoy seven and 259 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.399 eight until they added those thirst person third person excuse 260 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.679 me modes later on, isn't he? I'm glad that they're 261 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.279 able to do that. 262 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.080 Did you say thirst person? 263 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.720 I did that? Sorry, that was Resident Evil eight. That 264 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.639 was the thirst person, thanks, Lady D. 265 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.720 I So I also get the idea there is a 266 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.960 lot more to this game than even we saw. Like 267 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.320 they saw, absolutely it was an uninterrupted well there were 268 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.960 some cuts, but it was mostly like a gameplay sequence, 269 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.480 all the same vein of like this, you know, Grace 270 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.399 in this hospital getting trased by this one character, this 271 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.360 one enemy character. 272 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:12.320 Like that's what we saw. 273 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.600 But yeah, we didn't see any idea of like, oh, 274 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:17.639 is there something outside of this hospital? 275 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.279 Is this? You know? There's no more too? Are there 276 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:21.080 other characters? 277 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.559 And there's definitely a lot of speculation online that I 278 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.080 think is like pretty onto something where it's like they 279 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.240 are probably going to be bringing back some other characters 280 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.279 and stuff like that, and I'm ready to see what happens. 281 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.600 With that so quick, like TLDR of the conversation I had. 282 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.519 So in this trailer, it makes a point to show 283 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.080 you as much of this decimated Raccoon City as possible, 284 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.320 which implies some sort of non linear experience, open world 285 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.879 sort of deal. It also makes a point to show 286 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.039 you the forest around this decimated Raccoon City. Hey, Resident 287 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.039 Evil fans, what's out there? Yep? Spencer Manson's out there? 288 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:54.720 Yep. 289 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.519 And then who was in Spencer Manson and the Resident 290 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.960 Evil remake? You may remember this person with bars around 291 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:06.840 their hands. I think that's who the big lady is. Yeah, nine, 292 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.360 I think it's Lisa Trevor. So there you go. That's 293 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.320 my that's my spin off, you know, tinfoil hat theory. 294 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.120 We'll see if it comes. 295 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.919 Up, Yeah, exactly, and it's uh, I think there would be. 296 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.080 There would be some characters, it would be really fun and 297 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.279 kind of funny to force them to go back to 298 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:27.039 Raccoon City. So uh yeah, yeah, I'm like kind of 299 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:28.960 just ready to see all that. And I don't know, 300 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.600 I'm speculating like everyone else, so let's see what happens, 301 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:37.279 but very encouraged by what I saw. I would probably 302 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.080 like describe it in terms of scary level as it's 303 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:44.120 closer to Resident Evil seven than anything else, maybe turned 304 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.440 down like one notch Uh. It wasn't as completely petrifying 305 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.279 to me as I found President Evil seven to be, 306 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.120 but it was definitely closer to that than even like eight, 307 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.000 and yes. 308 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.600 Anything else trying to straddle that line. I feel like 309 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.159 eight was a little more action or except for the 310 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:06.440 place and the dollhouse, yeah, the dollhouse sequence. But I 311 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.720 think nine's going to try and be like maybe more 312 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:12.320 half and half sort I'm. 313 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.360 Looking forward to it. February twenty seventh, is that that's 314 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.279 the date for that, right. 315 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.759 Yes, twenty seven of twenty twenty six, that's how I 316 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.360 had it in my brain. I think that's right. 317 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.519 Now, and yep, that'll be right as the thirtieth anniversary 318 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.000 is happening basically, right, Yeah, that's uh. 319 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.399 Yeah, right around it, yep, because I think that's in March. 320 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.799 So very very very cool. 321 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.559 I was glad we got to see it and the 322 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.000 Capcom really brought it man, really like kind of thank 323 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.200 god for Capcom at a certain point, really making it 324 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.759 feel like some third party publishers still have this shit 325 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.279 figured out. 326 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.799 And yeah, yeah, I was impressed by that. 327 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:48.799 All right, Jason, let's explain what we do here.

Obviously, Jason, A big part 377 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.120 of this success is a manufacturing success, right or a 378 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:56.480 logistical success of just being able to get that many 379 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.080 consoles into retailers, into the supply chain in four days, 380 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.559 like that is kind of It's kind of nuts that, 381 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.279 you know, all these other consoles like could barely crack 382 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.279 three million, or you know, PlayStation five three point four. 383 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.519 Million in a month. 384 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.000 Obviously, Nintendo waiting kind of holding things back, letting a 385 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.880 damn build up of supply and unleashing it all at once. 386 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.400 Was it seems like a really successful idea, and now 387 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.240 it just feels like there is a critical mass of 388 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:25.920 Switch twos out there for you know, developers that want 389 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:27.799 to release games right now in this moment. It was 390 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:31.039 it just seems like it has really worked. But how 391 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:32.079 how do you think the. 392 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.119 Launch has gone so far? As from your point of view. 393 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.519 From a personal standpoint, I forgot the switch to launch 394 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:43.240 because we were so busy in summer games events. But 395 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.640 from a from a you know, top down perspective, this 396 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:48.359 is they they had it figured out. They had it 397 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.440 figured out from the get go. We were all worried 398 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.839 about nothing. The fact that they had to delay their 399 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.960 their price announcement because of the you know, accentuating circumstances 400 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.680 surrounding it.
