All right, we have a lot to get into, 95 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.959 so let's start the morning Mess with Grand Theft Auto 96 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.759 six marketing may finally ramp back up in August. 97 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:23.680 This is from Eddie McCoo at GameSpot. 98 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.040 According to a reputable insider, new information about Rockstar's GTA 99 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.879 six could arrive very soon. Nathan Hate, who has accurately 100 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.680 reported unannounced details about upcoming games before, recently said he 101 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.959 expects to see a fair bit of GTA six in August. 102 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.319 He went on to push back against the narrative that 103 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.120 just because Rockstar has not marketed GTA six much so 104 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.959 far with just a few months to go before launch, 105 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.040 that there is some cause for concern. They have a 106 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.480 marketing plan and they are sticking to that. No reason 107 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.879 for concern, he said, adding that the game is not 108 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.279 delayed and we'll launch on time on November nineteenth. Let's 109 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.319 let's pause there real quick, Rachel, Rachel, We're not like, 110 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.560 is anyone still thinking this game might not come out? 111 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.759 I guess there is always that possibility that there could 112 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.199 be a delay. I've moved past that, I think after 113 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.240 they started really going hard on the pre orders. The 114 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.240 idea that they haven't shown us much more is not 115 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.800 really registering with me on that front of like, oh, 116 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.879 that means there could be a delay. To me, it's 117 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.600 always they're just showing us what they think they have to. 118 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.879 They don't have to show us anything else. And people 119 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.839 are still going to buy this game in absolute droves, right. 120 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.800 Yeah, they've already bought the game in absolute droves. And yeah, 121 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.680 I kind of think maybe Take two is like investing, Like, 122 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.480 I know, nothing is coming to mind at the moment, 123 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.639 but I'm sure Take two has other ip that are 124 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.439 going out in the meantime that I'm sure they want 125 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.120 to invest in before GTA six comes along and blitzes 126 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.040 the entire market the. 127 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:52.600 Way, right, they have to keep that in mind as well. 128 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.040 Yeah, yeah, so they want to make money. They want 129 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.480 to make money for their their quarters before GTA six launches. 130 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.120 So it wouldn't surprise me if they're investing what uh 131 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.199 you know, what scraps they can in their other IP 132 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.199 before GTA because they know they don't have to have 133 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.000 a long tail on the GTA six marketing. They can 134 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.160 just drop a trailer in the middle of August and 135 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.319 everyone will eat it up. 136 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:15.680 I'll eat it up. 137 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.319 I'm not being hypocritical. I'll eat it up. 138 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:17.600 Yeah. 139 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.319 Is that your expectation We're going to get a trailer 140 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.879 in August? Because that's what That's what this seems to 141 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:21.439 imply to me. 142 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.399 And yeah, that's that's what I've heard. And I don't 143 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.240 have like insider as insider resources like like Nate the 144 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.839 Hate does, I think, but I that's that's what I've heard, 145 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.519 is that when they say summer they mean August. 146 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:33.920 Yeah. 147 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.240 Yeah, I heard way back in like March and April, like, oh, 148 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.000 things would start in July, and then the pre order 149 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.160 started in very very late June, and then there was 150 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.399 no there's been nothing else in July. So I'm like, Okay, 151 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.519 what's did that? Did that just mean the pre order thing? 152 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.839 Are you gonna get like a big TV marketing campaign? 153 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.759 And to be fair, like they've explicitly said like they're 154 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.920 going to spend less money on marketing on traditional over 155 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.279 the air television and stuff like that. So this is 156 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.600 probably gonna manifest in a slightly different way. I don't 157 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.399 think that means we don't get a trailer, although they 158 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.959 don't need one, Like I feel like they don't need one. 159 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.319 They don't need to let people review this game. They 160 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.639 don't need to do anything. I still think I still 161 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.120 think they will. I think they'll probably let people do this. 162 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.120 Think they will have another trailer. 163 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.480 Yeah, I think they will definitely have a I think 164 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.360 I think they are probably maybe going to invest a 165 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.439 little bit more in creators, like creator lead marketing before 166 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.759 this comes out. That's just that's not based in any 167 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.279 like knowledge I have. That's just a subposition. But I 168 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.920 think Take two knows enough about the market and knows 169 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.160 enough about what side their bread's buttered on that they're 170 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.639 going to like, Okay, let's go after the big shots 171 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.800 in the GTA community to you know, to get to 172 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.759 get a little bit of like boots on the ground 173 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.000 or knut boots in their grassroots publicity. 174 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.399 Take two as kind of intimated previously that that the 175 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.399 marketing campaign would begin in summer. You know, pre orders 176 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.839 have been opened since June twenty fifth. It doesn't seem 177 00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:01.759 like it's been slow at all. It seems like people 178 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.360 have been pre ordering this game in quite a huge 179 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.240 amount of the game is eighty dollars. 180 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.800 Yeah, so far, nothing to. 181 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.079 Me indicates that there's any reason to expect this game 182 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.439 won't be as big as everyone is expecting. Like it 183 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.439 seems like everything is just kind of lining up that way. Now, 184 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.959 we haven't seen anyone play this video game. 185 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.079 We have not seen that yet. Do you think the 186 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.560 next trailer is not legally Yeah, exactly right. 187 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.399 Yes, we've seen some leaks and stuff, seen some like 188 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:37.120 hacks actually, But like when that trailer, that first trailer 189 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.159 does come out and or the first trailer, next trailer, 190 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.320 when that next trailer does come out, will it be 191 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.039 like a full on gameplay trailer or do they just continue. 192 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:46.519 Kind of doing what they've been doing and like setting 193 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:47.240 up the world? 194 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.360 When did the I mean I think in this case, 195 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.799 I think that they'll follow the playbook that they had 196 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.440 for GTA five. I don't know when the GT five 197 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.480 gameplay trailer came out. I know they I know they 198 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:03.320 had one before the game launched in the early in 199 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.960 the early marketing stage. I know they put out a 200 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.879 gameplay trailer, but I don't remember if it was before 201 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.240 or after they released a bunch of cinematic trailers. 202 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.240 Yeah, probably, and then you know, and it's been god, 203 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:13.360 how long since that game? 204 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.039 What did they do? What did they do for? 205 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.159 I played it? I first played it. I first played 206 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.200 it on the Xbox three sixty that's how long. 207 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.840 It's Yes, God, that's crazy, Oh my god. 208 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.639 I think they I think for Red Dead Redemption two, 209 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.600 they released a gameplay trailer I want to say, after 210 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.679 they released like at least three cinematic trailers. 211 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.120 Yeah. I think it was pretty late, and it was 212 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.399 like in the in like the quarter before the. 213 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.320 Sprinkle They sprinkle like bits of gameplay in the cinematic trailers, 214 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:42.639 but not enough for it to be a you know, 215 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.519 gameplay trailer. 216 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:45.480 Mm hmm. Yeah. 217 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.120 I think they will have some gameplay, but I think 218 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.960 it'll be limited. I think it'll be sort of a yes, 219 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:55.840 interspersed between more world of setting stuff and like the 220 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.159 the cut scenes, which I think they believe shows off 221 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:04.120 best in in advertisements. And then and again, like what 222 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.159 do they get out of letting people see more of 223 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.120 this game? Because it's not like the people who are 224 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:10.879 going to show up to buy this game on day one, 225 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:13.840 they don't need to see anything. They were going to 226 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.480 buy its sight unseen and then if there are people 227 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.919 waiting on the sideline, well they were probably not going 228 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.799 to get it day one, but once the game's out 229 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.480 there and the hype is inescapable, then that could sort 230 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.039 of carry it through. I bet, I bet that's what 231 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.879 they're mostly thinking here, although who knows that next trailer 232 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.720 could come out and be like seven minutes of nothing 233 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.279 but gameplay. 234 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.279 I could be completely wrong, but I. 235 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.600 Mean it's I'm trying to get in the head of 236 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.799 the marketing people here, like what would yeah, like, what 237 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.200 do they need to do? Like what is the cadence 238 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.039 that they need to do? And I think right now, 239 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.480 because everyone is everyone is so just chomping at the 240 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.440 bit for GTAs for more news on GTA six. And 241 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.360 by the way, regarding the delay, I still occasionally see 242 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.840 like these schmucks on TikTok saying something like, hey, GTA 243 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.039 six has been delayed purely either because they're rage baiting 244 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.200 and you know, courting views from you know, just people 245 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.519 being like what GTA six is delayed, or because they 246 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.240 are so pessimistic that they believe there's no shot that 247 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.480 two will release the or that rock Star will release 248 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.519 the game in twenty twenty six. 249 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.440 That's that's fun. You always got to appreciate the people 250 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.519 out there just running that hustle to ruin everyone else 251 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.279 and just to say things that are absolutely not true. 252 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.799 Will points out they always do the narrated trailer explaining systems, 253 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.039 and I'm remembering that now for a dead Redemption two. 254 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.120 So okay, I could very easily see that, like here's 255 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.360 the new stuff. You know, maybe that comes out closer 256 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.639 to launch or whatever, but yes, I guess I would 257 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.639 expect that now when I kind of remember that's the 258 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.000 way they've done it, and I'm curious to see what 259 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:49.799 the new systems are going to be. I'm curious to see, 260 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.639 like how they try to different differentiate this game, because 261 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.639 right now it feels like bigger. It's bigger and more, 262 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.759 And yeah, I mean, I think this is still the 263 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.679 one game in one developed that when they say bigger 264 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.000 and more, that is a back of the box bullet points. 265 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.279 Still I think other ones it's like, yeah, I mean, 266 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:08.919 you guys are just gonna fill this more with more 267 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:09.679 of the same crap. 268 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.559 And maybe that's what's gonna happen here as well. But 269 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:12.440 I still think. 270 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.320 If you heard that from you be soft, you'd be like, 271 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.960 ugh right, you hear it from Rockstar and you're like, oh, 272 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.720 that sounds great. 273 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.559 Yeah, I just want to like see what that means 274 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.600 for rock Stars. We know that they are going to 275 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.679 not hold back on spending the required money to really 276 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.200 fill that out. So yeah, hey, August, all right, we'll 277 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.120 find out more about this game. I'm like halfway between 278 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.639 getting excited and still being annoyed about like, ah, man, 279 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.759 this game takes up so much of the oxygen in 280 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.720 the room. But at this point we're close enough. November 281 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.360 is not like some far off land. It's now something 282 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.039 I can imagine in my head. All right, let's let's 283 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.279 play this game, see what it's all about, and I'm 284 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:49.879 gonna start getting pretty excited about it. 285 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.559 I'm excited because it feels like there's a lot of 286 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.159 nostalgia there for me personally. So yeah, like I said, 287 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.679 I play GTAs five back on the Xbox three sixty 288 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.759 and I remember I wasn't really allowed to play GTA 289 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.279 until like four, and then I then I played that 290 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.960 on I think one of my cousins with on one 291 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.159 of their systems. So then so GTA five was kind 292 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.879 of like my first big girl Grand Theft Auto. So yeah, 293 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.399 I've definitely gi Yeah, there is some mystery there. 294 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.360 I'm the nostalgia is definitely for me, like it's a 295 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.720 whole other part of my life. And I've told the 296 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.720 story before about like going to a friend's house and 297 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.600 like not going basically like just living at this friend's 298 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.799 house and they had Grand Theft Auto three and we'd 299 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.480 always have people over every night. It's Ohio, there's like 300 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.279 just a constant house party happening and just passing the 301 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.399 controller back and forth and playing Grand Theft Auto three 302 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:45.919 for for weeks at a time, and it's like, yeah, 303 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.320 that to me, I think that was a lot of power. 304 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.039 A lot of people experienced that game, and that's how 305 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.639 I still want to experience these games. I want to 306 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.000 kind of sit down and have fun. And that's what's 307 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:55.600 great about streaming now you can kind of have that 308 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:56.279 same feeling. 309 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.759 All right, So let's keep going here. 310 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.919 Final Fantasy seven revel director says he's working on arranging 311 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:06.000 some kind of physical edition, but can't confirm the details. 312 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.799 This is from Chris Scullion at VGC, the director of 313 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:10.360 Final Fantasy seven Revelation. 314 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.279 The third Entry in. 315 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.399 The Final Fantasy seven remake, says talks are in progress 316 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.000 for a physical release of the game, he just can't 317 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.480 provide details on what that would entail yet. While Sony 318 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.200 has confirmed that it will stop making discs for new 319 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.279 PlayStation games as of January twenty eighth, Rockstar's decision to 320 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.440 release Grand Theft Out of Six as a code in 321 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.120 a box has led to some wondering whether other major 322 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:38.399 publishers will follow suit. Speaking at the Final Fantasy fourteen 323 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.440 fan Festival in Berlin, Final Fantasy seven Revelation director n 324 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.720 Aoki Hamagucci told games Radar he was working on securing 325 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.919 a physical release of the game, but couldn't confirm exactly 326 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.000 what that would entail. We're still having internal discussions on 327 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.320 what at the exact SKEW product lineup is going to 328 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.759 be for Revelation, so I can't say anything particularly definitive 329 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.360 at this point in time, but I am working to 330 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.480 make the arrangements to allow us to have some kind 331 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.200 of physical edition. Hamakuchi explain that every company has its 332 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.440 own terms regarding physical releases, and this is currently what's 333 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.000 being discussed with platform holders. Obviously, say if you're talking 334 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.919 to Nintendo there's considerations about the storage limits and on 335 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.600 key cards and things like that, and then other platforms 336 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.200 about how much you can put onto a disc. Each 337 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.000 platform and first party have their own specific rules and 338 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.559 regulations that we need to take into account. He does 339 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.840 go on later in the interview to say it would 340 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.879 be a shame if physical release is stopped, even though 341 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.519 consumer trends suggest it maybe heading in that direction at 342 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.440 some point. I do feel, as a developer and as 343 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.240 a fan that the general trend is for things to 344 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:48.679 shift away from physical towards downloadable games. That's obviously talking 345 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.080 about the trend personally here at something like FanFest or 346 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.759 community events for games that I've worked on. I really 347 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.120 think that people bringing up things asking for autographs. 348 00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:58.960 I think that's lovely. 349 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:00.840 I think it's a wonderful culture and it would be 350 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.519 a shame to lose that. I want that to remain. Basically, 351 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.879 he still wants to be able to sign the discs. Yeah, 352 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.159 I okay, Yeah, we should have been expecting a physical 353 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.120 edition of Final Fantasy seven Revelation. 354 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.519 Well, yeah, because it's coming out. It's coming out on 355 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.320 twenty twenty seven, and they're not stopping releasing physical discs. 356 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.320 Until twenty twenty eight. 357 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:20.879 January twenty twenty eight, was it, Yes, ten. 358 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.559 Twenty eight, that's what they said. So yeah, I mean 359 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.279 that's not a surprise, I guess, but you. 360 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:26.000 Would hope so, right. 361 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:27.879 But I mean the fact that we're clarifying, I guess 362 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:29.679 as a reminder of just where we're at with this 363 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.360 still where it's like people I think people are expecting 364 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.080 more of these companies to not just to be like well, 365 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.840 PlayStation's stopping discs, but to be like rock Stars, not 366 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:39.799 putting Grand Theft Auto six out on a disc. 367 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.720 Who's the next company that is going to follow suit? 368 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.159 And you know, I think there's still this wait and 369 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.399 see for the people in the industry that maybe want 370 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.720 things to go that way faster of like we kind 371 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.000 of have to wait and see what this means for 372 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:52.919 Grand Theft Auto six. 373 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:53.960 It's probably not going to mean. 374 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.840 Much they're but I think if you if you are, 375 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.360 if you're not Take two and you're not Rockstar, are you, 376 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.879 probably you're probably right to not even be considering this yet. 377 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.279 And then there is this contingency. 378 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:09.480 Of like people inside of these studios like Hamaguchi, who right, 379 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.240 uh no, I really like this still and I'm making 380 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.440 the efforts personally to make sure that we can have 381 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.880 the best physical versions, or at least, you know, respectable 382 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.920 phys physical versions of these games out on all platforms. 383 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.880 But I think he does bring up an interesting point 384 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.400 of like some of the headaches involved with trying to 385 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.359 get a game like this out on physical media, of like, yeah, 386 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.799 it's not just all right, we were done with the game, 387 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.119 print it onto disc and everyone can go home. It's like, okay, 388 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.240 how much space do we have on the PlayStation version? 389 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.680 All right, that's pretty good. The Xbox version is gonna 390 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:42.240 have a little bit less space that disc. Can we 391 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:43.880 actually fit the whole game on there? So what are 392 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.880 we actually going to include? What are we gonna make downloadable? 393 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.240 And then on the switch, if we do try to 394 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.079 include some stuff on the physical card, you're still gonna 395 00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.960 have to download stuff, and then that's gonna cost us 396 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.279 a ton of money to put it on this sixty 397 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.079 four gigabyte card that is way more expensive than their disc. 398 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:03.319 So then do we put it on the game key card? 399 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:05.640 People are gonna still hate that and not want to 400 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.119 buy that. But you know, we kind of explained before 401 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.920
