00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everybody, welcome to Game Breaking News with me Jeff Grub,

2
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 1>your host from giant bomb dot com. Thank you for

3
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 1>tuning in to this episode. We're gonna be talking about

4
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 1>all the info from Switch to his big launch game

5
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>and more. It's gonna be a good one because we

6
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>have Lex Luddie on the show. LEXI, how are you doing, Bob.

7
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm alive, which is fair. Yeah, that's I'm not doing

8
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 2>too bad. I've been super busy. I was traveling last Friday.

9
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.359
<v Speaker 2>I was at the Irish Game Awards and a summit

10
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 2>that was on around ash.

11
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 3>And did let me think, what's the Guinness win again?

12
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Nailed it?

13
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Nailed it now?

14
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 2>It was.

15
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 4>It was really nice, it was. It was.

16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>The Irish Game Awards is more like local base than

17
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 2>something like Bafter. Like Bafter does have just one award

18
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>for Best British Game, but the Immish Awards try to

19
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 2>do like all the games that again nominasa Irish games

20
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>or games partly developed in Ireland. But it meant that

21
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 2>you had a very funny situation where best Narrative went

22
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>to an indie game made by one guy and runner

23
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>up for best Narrative went to Balders Gate three. Okay,

24
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>so you know, but yeah, it was a great shoe.

25
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 4>It was.

26
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 2>It was nice hanging out with people and seeing stuff.

27
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Talked to Zelavia Nelson that dude's super smart.

28
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 3>He's always always a joy to talk to him, isn't it.

29
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, saw Tom Hall chain, saw him with the chainsaw

30
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 2>from from Doom, the chain from Doom.

31
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 4>So that was weird.

32
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>And I ever switched to pre order, which I think

33
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>makes me gaming loyalty, Like, yeah.

34
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 3>All right, you know, I didn't invite y'all in here

35
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 3>to brag.

36
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm jealous. It does make you better than me though,

37
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure.

38
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>But that was not requestion's getting fucked over by America anyway.

39
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 4>It's your fault.

40
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Can't buy PS five games anymore, We can't buy PS

41
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>five's at all.

42
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Yep, this is all your fault.

43
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 1>It's at a nasty business we got going on this

44
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>country of ours. Yeah, does it feel like it's going

45
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 1>to solve itself anytime soon? And uh, no one else

46
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>seems to know what to do about it, so it's

47
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>just gonna keep getting worse.

48
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we had the Mario Kart direct today. We we'll

49
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 3>talk about that.

50
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, ont info that that we already knew, but

51
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, it definitely has me still very excited. Uh,

52
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>but no no new info about pre ordering here in

53
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the States or in Canada. I think people are expecting

54
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to this point for that stuff to kick in next

55
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>week maybe.

56
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's some rumors. Who knows how reliable that info.

57
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Shadow drop Oblivion.

58
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there you go, Yes, when it's acquires but Microsoft

59
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 1>and releases Oblivion.

60
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think people are expecting to kick in next week.

61
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Although you know that all that stuff comes from retailers,

62
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>like the back end, you know, CMSs for retailers or whatever,

63
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 1>and that stuff always feels like it could just be placeholder,

64
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>like who's actually in charge of putting that info in there?

65
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see, but we're looking for any scraps of info. Meanwhile,

66
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 1>like you were, you had a pretty easy time of

67
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 1>preordinan right, It wasn't too painful.

68
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 3>It was like you got it right when you tried.

69
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 4>It was first try. I got on that early.

70
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I know that they did sell out eventually in smit's,

71
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>but then they got a second batch a couple of

72
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>days later, So like there seems to be switches to.

73
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 4>Go around once the pre orders go live.

74
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>It definitely wasn't a bombush like the PS five and

75
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 2>Xbox were.

76
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And have you talked to any other friends in

77
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>your region? Are they having a similar sort of situation.

78
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Lots of the folks in the UK have found it

79
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 2>pretty easy. I know it was a bit more difficult,

80
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 2>like you did have to be keeping an eye out

81
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>for when stuff went live. Ireland was pretty easy because

82
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>it was probably a less in tune like consumer base.

83
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.120
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I think people in Britain had a bit tougher,

84
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 2>but even then still not nearly as bad as like

85
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 2>other consoles and stuff.

86
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 3>It is like, I mean, in.

87
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>My head, throughout all of Europe and I'm Americans, so

88
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Europe is just one big thing. Uh it is like, oh,

89
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>PlayStation just dominates there and even Nintendo's a.

90
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 3>Little bit of an afterthought. Is that Is that right still?

91
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Or was that ever right?

92
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Nintendo is like super big four kids, like grandparents will

93
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 2>get their kids a gain for the Nintendo, you know,

94
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>same as American in a lot of ways. Xbox three

95
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>to sixty was fucking huge, but PS four eight hits

96
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>lunch right after that, Like, I know, no one that

97
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Bosh and Xbox one in Ireland, and like, I know

98
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>people that do have series, but most of those people

99
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>are in the industry, right, so like that seems like

100
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.959
<v Speaker 2>a bad sample to take. I don't know very many

101
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>casual people, friends or anything that have a Xbox, and

102
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 2>they mainly have like PS five is kind of where

103
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 2>people think of doing the gaming or Switch, but Switch

104
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 2>is super popular everywhere in Europe.

105
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Right.

106
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>The thing with that is like if you're in like

107
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Ireland or the UK and you buy an Xbox, you

108
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>just automatically it comes with an Xbox podcast that you're on.

109
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Like that, I think that's how it works. So you're

110
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>in the industry. As soon as you buy an Xbox,

111
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you just started a podcast. All right, Well, you know what,

112
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 1>let's explain what we do here most weekdays. I Jeff Grubb,

116
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>bona fide expert who will make.

117
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:49.920

123
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, we have a lot to get into, so

124
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>let's start the show with that Mario Kartworld direct and

125
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 1>all the details out of it, including info about Grand

126
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Prix races, Knockout Tours, Battle Mode, Free Roman, more kind

127
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>of collated what I could here. I think I got

128
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>this from a Gamatsu, so shout outs to them.

129
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Just drop something on the floor.

130
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 1>Mario Kartworld introduces an interconnected world with courses linked by roads,

131
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>enabling exploration and navigation between races. Grand pre mode features

132
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 1>four races per cup, with players driving between courses within

133
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a cup. Knockout Tour is a new mode with extended

134
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 1>rallies and checkpoints eliminations.

135
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I think this game looks super fucking bad.

136
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 2>It is funny how little attention they have given the

137
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 2>battle modes yet again, like that segment in the direct

138
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>is like maybe like fifteen seconds out of a few

139
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>fifteen minute direct. I watched it back there and they're like,

140
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, and the bowel modes are here too, and

141
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 2>they still kind of suck anyway, But yeah, it looks

142
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>fucking awesome. The outfit stuff looks really cool. That Pauline

143
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:21.439
<v Speaker 2>outfit is who poor for poor respectfully? But yeah, I

144
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>think this game looks awesome. Does it look eighty dollars

145
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 2>eighty euro ninety zero depending on how you buy it awesome?

146
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, because I think everyone is buying it

147
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 2>in the form of the bundle. So like, this game

148
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>hurts way less when you think of it as fifty

149
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 2>dollars or sixty euro and okau, but I don't know it.

150
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 2>The idea of this being being eighty dollars is still

151
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 2>like there's a bit of a question mark over that.

152
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a it's a little stunning, a little shot,

153
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 1>and it's you know, I know for a fact that

154
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I will get, you know, eighty dollars worth of hours.

155
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 3>Played in this game. Like, I'll play this game a

156
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:09.839
<v Speaker 3>whole bunch.

157
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 1>I like Mario Kart a lot, and especially when I

158
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>start playing with the kids, We're gonna we're gonna play

159
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 1>this a ton, it's gonna be NonStop. And yet eighty

160
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>dollars just feels like such a weird hurdle. It's very

161
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 1>much a mental block of yeah, sure, I'm gonna play

162
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>this enough to justify that price, and yet it still

163
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't necessarily feel justified. I think that these modes that

164
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>they laid out of of you know, Grand Prix, very familiar,

165
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 1>but driving between the courses like during the Grand Prix,

166
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if that gets old.

167
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

168
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I think they maybe maybe they said during the direct

169
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that you can just jump to the next race. I

170
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>think there was some mention of that. So I'm sure

171
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>they have solutions for any of these. Before I've played

172
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the game, anxieties about oh my god, is this is

173
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna be not what I want it to be.

174
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Knockout Tour.

175
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>That's one where it's like, I think that sounds good

176
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 1>on paper, I bet it won't be as fun as

177
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.039
<v Speaker 1>it's sounds. And then you know everyone who's played it,

178
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.279
<v Speaker 1>and Dan was reiterating this because he has actually tried this,

179
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>it's like everyone loved it.

180
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 3>It was so much fun. I'm okay, all right, But

181
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 3>then I guess I should get my hopes up for that.

182
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:12.559
<v Speaker 3>That sounds good.

183
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:13.120
<v Speaker 4>I think.

184
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.080
<v Speaker 2>The one problem with that one, and you will probably

185
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>run into this, and anyone who has like nieces and

186
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>nephews or kids will run into this is kids don't

187
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 2>like being knocked out.

188
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 3>They don't like getting a second place. Lexie. Yes, hate losing.

189
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 3>They hate it so much.

190
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think they'll be super excited by the

191
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 2>idea of like, hey, dad's still playing and you're not.

192
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 3>I think she get good and you'll speak of that.

193
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>They did have the automatical steering and stuff and the

194
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>automatic acceleration.

195
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 3>They showed that, so good news for people who have

196
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 3>kids that use that. So I was happy to see it, and.

197
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like your kids will have no problem back Alah.

198
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>On the other hand, he's helpless, just absolutely hopeless as well.

199
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's gonna be bad.

200
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 2>She's too busy getting good in Rocket League. He hasn't

201
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>been able to learn how to like las and a

202
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 2>real racing game.

203
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, yep, that's that's right, man. You know what's

204
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 3>a good video game? Rocket League? All right's and then

205
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 3>and then the free roam. You know, they showed off

206
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 3>more of that.

207
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:11.840
<v Speaker 1>But and they kind of one of the things you

208
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>mentioned when we were talking about, like the gather ampt

209
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the costumes, there are these meal sacks. It looks like,

210
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, you go through fast food and sacks of

211
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.759
<v Speaker 1>burgers or whatever that are glowing and rainbow color and shiny,

212
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 1>and you pick them up and as you do that,

213
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>it unlocks a themed costume for.

214
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 3>The character that you're playing as.

215
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.039
<v Speaker 1>And this seems to be one of the incentives to

216
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>have you go out and explore this open world in

217
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 1>the free ROM mode. And to me, it's like, yeah,

218
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that sounds pretty good. Like, obviously there's other secrets, there

219
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.039
<v Speaker 1>are other things to discover in the open world, but

220
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 1>having this as an option to like kind of keep

221
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.039
<v Speaker 1>like just a little bit of a carrot on a stick,

222
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 1>that is enough for me to be like, yeah, I'm

223
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna want to get a lot of those. And it

224
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>seems like you could play as different characters to get

225
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>different costumes. It's like, yeah, that sounds like a ton

226
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>of content right there on its own. So I don't

227
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 1>know everything about the free roam mode has really worked

228
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>for me, and I was really happy to see this

229
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>as well.

230
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I appreciate the idea that Mario is stopping to

231
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Gesh garage sushi. That's really good, the idea that he's

232
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:20.440
<v Speaker 2>like risking it. But yeah, the outfits themselves look really

233
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 2>fucking cool from what we've seen of some of them,

234
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Like some of it is like the Malibu Sac thing

235
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.039
<v Speaker 2>of just oh, they have a new hat, but also, guys,

236
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>have you seen Pauline's new hat?

237
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, exactly, it's a latex. It's very wow. And then

238
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>like the poll will go up or it's up now,

239
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 1>but we'll talk about it later. But there is an

240
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>image of Warrio dressed up as a bee, and that's

241
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>just really stupid and funny to me, and I like

242
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.279
<v Speaker 1>it a lot. I just like looking at this stuff.

243
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 1>So and I the aesthetics of Mario Kart have been

244
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 1>very good for forever, but really like since like seven,

245
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.639
<v Speaker 1>they've really got it right. And then going to HD

246
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>with Mario Cart eight, finally it's like, oh, I don't

247
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>know if Nintendo games ever need to look better than this,

248
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 1>and you know, this is very much in line with that.

249
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>They're actually not trying to look that much better than

250
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Mario Kart eight, but they have more physics stuff, more

251
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>animation kind of popping in that way, and so it's like, well,

252
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 1>they just made the art as appealing as possible, and

253
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 1>it really does appeal to me.

254
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 3>It always has.

255
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.080
<v Speaker 4>I think the thing that I.

256
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Said it in the Giant Bomb chat join the talk

257
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 2>over that you did, but like watching this direct I

258
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 2>was like, you know, I could fucking go for a

259
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Splatoon four right now, like a bigger Splatoon four. Remember

260
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 2>when they tease Splatoon three and people are like, oh,

261
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 2>is it open world?

262
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.519
<v Speaker 4>And then yeah, I have felt that.

263
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.159
<v Speaker 3>I saw that. I'm like, I hope it is.

264
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that seems like it could be real this time. Yeah,

265
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm super I know the I think that, Like the

266
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>big feeling for me around the Switch To is like

267
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 2>most of the games I play and I enjoy playing,

268
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of like PS four is where things like things

269
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.360
<v Speaker 2>don't need to look better than this, Like I don't

270
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.200
<v Speaker 2>see any graphical difference as someone that goes back and

271
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 2>plays a lot of PS three and PS two and

272
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>PS one games at the moment just for research purposes,

273
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't see much difference for PS five to

274
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 2>PS four stuff, and the idea this being on power

275
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.679
<v Speaker 2>with a PS four power wise at least, you know,

276
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>that's what the Digital Foundry people are saying. Yeah, Like

277
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I look at these games, I'm like, yeah, things don't

278
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>really need to look better than this, Like I'm fine

279
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 2>with this.

280
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And for the switch To, it's like it's kind

281
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of even a better, like the best case scenario of

282
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that where you know, Digital Founder is saying PS four

283
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>games is like what the people are going to be targeting.

284
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>But it has a faster CPU, more memory bandwidth, it's

285
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:42.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna you know, have.

286
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 3>SSD storage, or it's working with close to SSD storage.

287
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it's working with you know, the AI upscaling

288
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 2>and the frame generation and stuff that wasn't.

289
00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Odd exactly right, Yes, then you get all the benefits

290
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 1>of Nvidia software teams like focused on this. You know,

291
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo's their biggest gaming client and they they're gonna make

292
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>sure that tech is really good for this thing. So yeah,

293
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>so it's a best case scenario, and you're right. As

294
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>soon as we got the PS four and Xbox One,

295
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>even though those that hardware was very lackluster, very cheap,

296
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.759
<v Speaker 1>it's it still was enough to meet the plateau. The

297
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>plateau of games don't need to look better than Doom

298
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen. They don't need to look much better than

299
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Mario Kart eight. They can, but then that's the barriers

300
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>no longer the hardware.

301
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 3>It is the money.

302
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:36.679
<v Speaker 1>As we saw last of Us Part two was on

303
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:38.799
<v Speaker 1>a PS four and it's like, well if you have

304
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 1>that kind of money, look what you can do. It's like, yeah, absolutely,

305
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>but I'm looking around and nobody else has that money.

306
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>There's one other team that has that money. It's Rockstar,

307
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 1>and they're doing a whole other thing. So I'm not

308
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna this is just not the expectation I have anymore.

309
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>My expectation is, let's make a game like Mario Kart

310
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 1>that looks as good as it can other stuff, like

311
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>they showed more details about some new driving techniques. There's

312
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 1>the charge jump. This is for a leaping and as

313
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.360
<v Speaker 1>well as wall riding. So basically you kind of like

314
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you just prime up a jump by holding the button

315
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.399
<v Speaker 1>and the cart actually like hunches down. It looked really cool,

316
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.039
<v Speaker 1>and then when you let go, you you pop off

317
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 1>with this bigger jump. This enables you to get up

318
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>on like rails that are a little bit higher to

319
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>grind on them, or to like thrust yourself into a

320
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>wall to begin wall riding around a curve. And that looked.

321
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>That looked really awesome. That looks so much fun. It's

322
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 1>the kind of thing where it's like it doesn't sound

323
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 1>like a lot. And obviously other cart games have had

324
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.799
<v Speaker 1>like the grinding for example, but giving you just one

325
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 1>or two more things to do during a race to

326
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 1>keep you engaged, it's going to go a long way,

327
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.679
<v Speaker 1>I think. So I'm every little bit of this I

328
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>see as well, Like this is really working for me.

329
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.960
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me a lot of Tony Hawk adding the

330
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 2>leversh of Like, yeah, this is like this is a

331
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>simple extra mechanic, but the way that it changes the

332
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.000
<v Speaker 2>dynamic and it allows you to things together sounds really

333
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.159
<v Speaker 2>exciting to me as someone that like I put three

334
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 2>hundred hours into Mario Kart eight, Like I've played the

335
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.960
<v Speaker 2>shit out of that game. The idea of having like

336
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 2>a couple of more verbs at my disposal for things

337
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.039
<v Speaker 2>to do an experiment with like that just sounds like

338
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna give so much more replayability to each level

339
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 2>as I try to like figure out what the best

340
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>routes are for different different races.

341
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.279
<v Speaker 1>Sean this this Sunday, he's listening, I think he is.

342
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.320
<v Speaker 3>He'll listen later this Sunday.

343
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's set up a like a final goodbye Mario cart

344
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>eight Deluxe tournament thing and we'll do that Sunday morning.

345
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Are you gonna do every single race course?

346
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 3>What races. We'll make go one of a lot of races.

347
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Sean likes to set these up, so I know,

348
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I can just throw that out there and let's get

349
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 1>that going.

350
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:48.799
<v Speaker 3>That would be a lot of fun.

351
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I was saying, you should bring back the do a

352
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 2>podcast during Mario Kart, except you do it in Mario

353
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Kart with the cameras and the microphone.

354
00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Hey, speaking of the cameras, they did show off, like

355
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's pretty neat. It's you know, who's actually

356
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up using this, I don't know, but I

357
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>mean I probably will at least once. But it's beyond

358
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, the cameras, so you could share your faces

359
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>online with your friends, you know, in other places or

360
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.599
<v Speaker 1>in other homes whatever. There is the ability for the

361
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.240
<v Speaker 1>camera to track up to four faces in a room,

362
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 1>and so if you're playing four players split screen, it'll

363
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.880
<v Speaker 1>get all four players faces and put it next to

364
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the character in the game. So when you do something

365
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to them and you hit them with a red shell,

366
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you can see the reaction in the game without having

367
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.200
<v Speaker 1>to look over at them and break like you're a

368
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.960
<v Speaker 1>line of sight with like what you're actually playing. It is,

369
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's kind of absurd, but I think I

370
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 1>love it.

371
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 3>I think that's a really fun idea and a fun

372
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:45.160
<v Speaker 3>use for this.

373
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm just imagining at Mario party and how much

374
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.039
<v Speaker 1>fun it's going to be like to grab a screenshot

375
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 1>of the grimace on someone's face when something terrible happens

376
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:53.440
<v Speaker 1>in that game.

377
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm I'm excited for people to try to get

378
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.319
<v Speaker 2>it to recognize things that aren't faces as faces.

379
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Could you possibly mean?

380
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, things, A pile, A pile of cocaine, I think

381
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:06.920
<v Speaker 2>is what we're talking about.

382
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's usually how it goes.

383
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's see anything else we talked about the drive throughs

384
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 1>I did say a meal sack and chats not stop

385
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:17.599
<v Speaker 1>talking about White Castle Sense Club.

386
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.440
<v Speaker 4>You said meal sack and I was like, m m, that's.

387
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Not it's It's just it's a meal in a sack.

388
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 2>That's How have I ever told you about spice bags,

389
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 2>a common delicacy in Galway.

390
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:32.119
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like my ship.

391
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a bag full of fries and a bunch

392
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 2>of Chinese spices and it's basically what all the Chinese

393
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>restaurants in Ireland started to sell when they realized that

394
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Irish people loved potatoes, and they were like, they're like, fuck,

395
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 2>we need to start selling them spice bags and just

396
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.440
<v Speaker 2>put like like, there's fucking everything in there.

397
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:54.680
<v Speaker 4>There's like charizo, the shredded chicken.

398
00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:58.559
<v Speaker 3>There's just sounds so good. Oh my god, this sounds good.

399
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>You'd love to so yeah, shit, okay, well I'm gonna

400
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>get myself a spice bag. It's you know, it sounds like,

401
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.599
<v Speaker 1>is a walking taco?

402
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.799
<v Speaker 3>You know what that is? No, it's you get a

403
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 3>bag of free.

404
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Do's and you just put a bunch of like meat

405
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and cheese in there and maybe some lettuce and you

406
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 1>just eat it with a fork.

407
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:21.880
<v Speaker 2>It's hey, it hits Your country deserves what's happening to it?

408
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I would never argue against that and the walking tacos.

409
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 3>That's it. We're guilty.

410
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I get it, all right, So we Roadside Assistance

411
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 1>is like, oh, this is the thing with the smart steering,

412
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.519
<v Speaker 1>auto accelerate and tilt controls, but all that stuff's back. Honestly,

413
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the most accessible games in terms of enabling

414
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 1>young players to play. Nintendo's not great with accessibility in

415
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of traditional ways for helping a wide variety

416
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>of people, who have a variety of disabilities to play.

417
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.480
<v Speaker 1>But this, at the very least, the smart steering does

418
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>go a long way, I think, And I'm glad it's back.

419
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad. I'm glad that still works with even it

420
00:19:58.039 --> 00:19:59.119
<v Speaker 3>being open world. Right.

421
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're really good at tricking kids into thinking that

422
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.480
<v Speaker 2>they're doing something when they're not. Oh yeah, Mario, want

423
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.799
<v Speaker 2>to see one of like you control the cop yep,

424
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.039
<v Speaker 2>you know you're part of the team budd s.

425
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, go ahead, point at this screen. Whatever the kids do. Eventually,

426
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.680
<v Speaker 1>like Emmy, who's eight, Now, I'm like, here, go and

427
00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.559
<v Speaker 1>turn on smart steering.

428
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:22.240
<v Speaker 3>She's like, no, I'm good.

429
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.039
<v Speaker 1>So she started steering for herself, like okay, and she's

430
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>blame better.

431
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.960
<v Speaker 2>So she knows she'll be ready to play Model Snap

432
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:29.759
<v Speaker 2>while playing Mariocott any day.

433
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, that's right, I gotta get her ready for it. Yeah,

434
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:34.880
<v Speaker 1>sixteen is going to be here before I know it.

435
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:38.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, real quick, before we move on.

436
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.440
<v Speaker 3>When you were describing the spice bags, you said fries.

437
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:45.839
<v Speaker 3>Do you actually call them fries in your country?

438
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.920
<v Speaker 4>I was being nice to you.

439
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.240
<v Speaker 1>You're translating, okay, I could tell. I wanted to make

440
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.559
<v Speaker 1>sure I'm like, I'm pretty sure she's translating for me.

441
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:58.680
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, let's keep going here. I'm bilingual, you

442
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.119
<v Speaker 3>speak dumbass as well. Yeah, good, okay.

443
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo Switch to VRR mentions disappear from Nintendo's website. This

444
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 1>is from Jordan Midler at VGC. Nintendo has removed several

445
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:12.839
<v Speaker 1>references to vr R support from the official Nintendo Switch

446
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to website. As part of the Nintendo As far as

447
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo's Nintendo Switch to reveal, the firm announced that the

448
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.880
<v Speaker 1>new console would support four K, one hundred and twenty

449
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:25.519
<v Speaker 1>frames per second and VRR variable refresh rate. Now, Nintendo

450
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 1>has seemingly removed mentions of VRR from several official websites.

451
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>As noted by Digital Foundries Oliver mackenzie, mentions of VRR

452
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.759
<v Speaker 1>have been removed from some certain regional Nintendo websites. At

453
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the time of the writing, mentions of VRR have been

454
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.720
<v Speaker 1>removed from the Canadian, US and Japanese versions of the site.

455
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.880
<v Speaker 1>It's apparently still up on the European site. Maybe it'll

456
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 1>still come down. VGC can confirm at the time of

457
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:51.480
<v Speaker 1>writing that the text is still president on the European

458
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.519
<v Speaker 1>version of the website, but it is possible that Nintendo

459
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>is in the process of removing.

460
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well they're saying what I just said right there.

461
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.920
<v Speaker 1>VRR is, you know a cool thing. It's like, remember

462
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.279
<v Speaker 1>g sync and free sync. It's it's you know, those

463
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 1>are variations on VRR. Basically, what it means is your

464
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 1>TV can refresh at a rate different from sixty or

465
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.559
<v Speaker 1>thirty frames per second. It can update, It can really

466
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.400
<v Speaker 1>update a frame whenever the video game has a frame ready,

467
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.119
<v Speaker 1>so you don't get tearing and there's much less jitter.

468
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:25.319
<v Speaker 1>It just makes like thirty five frames per second and

469
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.079
<v Speaker 1>then suddenly it's fifty five frames per second. Makes that

470
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:30.400
<v Speaker 1>look much better than it normally does, because what really

471
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.640
<v Speaker 1>hurts is most people can handle a steady, firm thirty

472
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>frames per second, but when it's jumping up and down

473
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:40.880
<v Speaker 1>between variable refresh rates, it can look really bad. But

474
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:43.759
<v Speaker 1>with VRR, this it can make it look actually like, oh,

475
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:47.880
<v Speaker 1>this sometimes looks better than some other options, or you know,

476
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.640
<v Speaker 1>like fifty five frames per second solid it's like, no,

477
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>this actually looks better than that. Anyway, I am wondering

478
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.799
<v Speaker 1>what's happening here, LEXI. My guess is there is probably

479
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.680
<v Speaker 1>there's some problem with the implementation at launch, and it's

480
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 1>something they will kind of update and bring back to

481
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.319
<v Speaker 1>the system later. There's also the possibility that the dock

482
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:12.319
<v Speaker 1>that they're using maybe is causing some troubles as well.

483
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I think PlayStation for Pro was supposed to get VRR.

484
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember exactly what, but I know Sony has

485
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:23.319
<v Speaker 1>had this where they released the system. It's gonna get

486
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.240
<v Speaker 1>VRR eventually, and that comes much later in an update.

487
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I hope it doesn't go that way with the switch

488
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to I hope it just kind of happens like a

489
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>few weeks later. There's a possibility they'll just bring this

490
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 1>much later as well.

491
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.079
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know what's happening.

492
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Is you know this kind of a display tech stuff,

493
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:39.559
<v Speaker 1>Does it do anything for you?

494
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's worth remembering that like Nintendo or the company

495
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:46.079
<v Speaker 2>who launched the switch one and we're like, sorry, we

496
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 2>can't support Bluetooth headphones. We just don't have the technology,

497
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 2>and then five years later we're like, actually, Bluetooth works,

498
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and it's been in there the whole time. Yeah, this

499
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.119
<v Speaker 2>isn't past them. I wouldn't put it past them, And

500
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.559
<v Speaker 2>it's weird, but you know this stuff is really nice.

501
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 2>As someone that started using their Steam Deck a lot,

502
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 2>these kind of techniques really help smooth out those experiences,

503
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>and those are the kindly experiences that you want to

504
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:18.400
<v Speaker 2>be having on your switch, like handheld gaming that feels

505
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 2>like it's big boy console gaming or PC gaming in

506
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of ways. So yeah, like these techniques really help,

507
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.759
<v Speaker 2>and I do help hope that they work. But like

508
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Nintendo also the company that like have never used anti

509
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.319
<v Speaker 2>aliasing in any of their games ever, just because they

510
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:40.000
<v Speaker 2>seem like Marley opposed to it, So I'm kind of

511
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.759
<v Speaker 2>surprised it's in there in the first place.

512
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.839
<v Speaker 3>Yep, it's right. That's where I'm at too.

513
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:47.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like, oh, man, I think when they mentioned this

514
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:49.880
<v Speaker 1>or we saw it or something at one of the

515
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 1>earlier Nintendo switched to talkovers that we did, it's like,

516
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.359
<v Speaker 1>VRR look at that, and it's like that one surprised me.

517
00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 1>HDR surprised me a little bit as well. I guess

518
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:02.559
<v Speaker 1>that one shouldn't have, but having HDR built into the

519
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the handheld screen and then obviously then that means we'll

520
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>be able to support it on TV's fantastic. But VRR

521
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:12.279
<v Speaker 1>felt like a nice bonus and I and you're right,

522
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 1>it is good. Like having it on the Steam Deck

523
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.119
<v Speaker 1>or the various other handheld PCs does make a big difference,

524
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 1>especially you know, as things are underpowered.

525
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:22.119
<v Speaker 3>This will help a little bit.

526
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Make that feel a little bit easier to take. So

527
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I hope this returns. I'm a big fan of vrr. Yeah,

528
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>if you have the ability to, like, you know, plug

529
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 1>a PC in your TV and it gives you option

530
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to use gcinc everybody, you should use g sync.

531
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.039
<v Speaker 3>All right.

532
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo switch To backward compatibility list has been updated.

533
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I guess that that's.

534
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.039
<v Speaker 1>Part of the news here, LEXI is that so Nintendo

535
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 1>has a big chart and a bar graph showing like, hey,

536
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>we've tested these games and they're confirmed to work without

537
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:53.799
<v Speaker 1>issue on switch to in backward compatibility mode. Then there's

538
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:55.759
<v Speaker 1>a long list of games that are like the start

539
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and they should be good, but maybe maybe something's in

540
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:00.519
<v Speaker 1>there that doesn't work. We're not sure, we haven't tested

541
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>ourselves yet. Then there's like a very tiny part of

542
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the bar a handful of games relatively speaking, because there's

543
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:09.240
<v Speaker 1>like five one hundred thousand games on the switch whatever

544
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:12.839
<v Speaker 1>it is, and a small percentage being probably still more

545
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:16.319
<v Speaker 1>than one hundred games that don't start up or have

546
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:21.359
<v Speaker 1>some other very noticeable problem. A couple of games on

547
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:26.319
<v Speaker 1>that list included Fitness Boxing, which is a surprisingly mega

548
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.480
<v Speaker 1>popular game on the Switch. I think that's one of

549
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.160
<v Speaker 1>those ones where Ring Fit Adventure really popped off, and

550
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:35.079
<v Speaker 1>so people are like, well, I'm gonna get another exercise

551
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:38.160
<v Speaker 1>game on my switch, and Fitness Boxing was that, and

552
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.799
<v Speaker 1>then Fortnite, which they like. I think they did mention

553
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>like that could have some issues, but they weren't. Weren't sure, Well,

554
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:46.079
<v Speaker 1>it's going to get a native switch to version, so

555
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:49.920
<v Speaker 1>they've updated the list. I think that's another part of

556
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the news here is Nintendo is going to be updating

557
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:54.359
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. This isn't that wasn't just a static

558
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 1>list that will just stay over on the side that

559
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:58.680
<v Speaker 1>will have some more information for us as they learn more,

560
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.319
<v Speaker 1>which is some So Fitness Boxing two is going to

561
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 1>get its issues looked at and addressed in an update.

562
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:10.759
<v Speaker 1>So overall, the like the backward compatibility, my expectation, LEXI

563
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.880
<v Speaker 1>is that most things are gonna work without much problems,

564
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:15.200
<v Speaker 1>without many problems.

565
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:17.440
<v Speaker 3>But I won't be surprised.

566
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:20.400
<v Speaker 1>If we kind of hear at launch some people discovering like, hey,

567
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>this is just this has broken this shadow later in

568
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.640
<v Speaker 1>this boss fight in a game it's displaying wrong. That's

569
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>the kind of stuff I'm expecting, how about you.

570
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:29.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

571
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:32.279
<v Speaker 2>The thing that I'm kinda surprised about is that they

572
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't have more of this list, like well researched, considering

573
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 2>we know, like the switch Tres delayed a bunch, and

574
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised that they weren't reaching out to developers and

575
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.400
<v Speaker 2>being like, hey, we have this extra time, let's make

576
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:47.880
<v Speaker 2>sure that is many big games that we want to

577
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:50.720
<v Speaker 2>promote on the e Shop day one are gonna work.

578
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Like they're gonna want to be selling stuff like Doom

579
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:58.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixteen and Doom Maternal because those ports will assumably

580
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 2>run much better, and so they could, and so you'd

581
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:06.240
<v Speaker 2>think that they'd be out there talking to third party

582
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.920
<v Speaker 2>developers being like, hey does this still fucking boot up?

583
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:12.079
<v Speaker 2>And way earlier, and that they'd be addressing these problems

584
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.039
<v Speaker 2>way earlier. It is, we're showing that they're like updating

585
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the list and updating it with two games.

586
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

587
00:28:20.599 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, since this thing was announced, seems pretty slow, But

588
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 2>like I know, lots of developers that still don't have,

589
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:31.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, development kits, so it's like these aren't readily

590
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:35.039
<v Speaker 2>available for developers to tests in a lot of cases.

591
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I am right that it does seem slow. I

592
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.680
<v Speaker 1>like Nintendo like the list when you look at the biograph,

593
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:47.200
<v Speaker 1>like the solid Blue that's like these games we've tested

594
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and they work and were sure. I think a lot

595
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.759
<v Speaker 1>of those are first party Nintendo games or games that

596
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>like Nintendo has a close relationship with. It feels like

597
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.480
<v Speaker 1>they tested those and then they're like they looked at

598
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.279
<v Speaker 1>the list of like, now here are four thousand other games,

599
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think someone Nintendo's just like, well, screw that,

600
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.480
<v Speaker 1>we're not doing that. So those studios can worry about

601
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.839
<v Speaker 1>that at a certain point, and it's like I I'm

602
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>with you where it's like I get Nintendo can be

603
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>stingy and can be sort of weird about.

604
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 3>These kinds of things. But my expectation was they know.

605
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:25.519
<v Speaker 1>How important backward compatibility is, and they've seen other companies

606
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Steam or Valve and Microsoft take this very seriously and

607
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>establish a dedicated team to go in and research all

608
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:35.759
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. Doesn't seem like that's necessarily what Nintendo has

609
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 1>done here, Like they don't have the check mark system

610
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:42.519
<v Speaker 1>from the Steam Deck, for example, so will they need that? Okay,

611
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.720
<v Speaker 1>probably not. And again I bet most things are just

612
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna work, and I think that's their hope as well,

613
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:51.599
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see. I'm glad that has backwork compatibility, but

614
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 1>and I'm interested to see exactly how that works when

615
00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:58.799
<v Speaker 1>we finally have the switch to in our hands.

616
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.079
<v Speaker 4>Did you put it in here?

617
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I saw the headline and I meant to click on it,

618
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.480
<v Speaker 2>but I thought I saw that someone was saying, like, oh,

619
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.680
<v Speaker 2>your save data won't transfer to the two Zelda games,

620
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:13.599
<v Speaker 2>and that seems fucking.

621
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.440
<v Speaker 4>Wild that they're charging.

622
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I understand why that they are different versions of

623
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.160
<v Speaker 2>the game, but like Tony and Xbox have figured this out.

624
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 2>You can play you can transfer your Ghost Shueshima PS

625
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:29.759
<v Speaker 2>four save data to your PS five version. You can

626
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 2>do the same with all of their first part of games.

627
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.359
<v Speaker 2>Like that feels pretty fucking egregious.

628
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:36.759
<v Speaker 4>And yes, it's weird, very.

629
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:39.039
<v Speaker 2>In a very Nintendo way of like do you want

630
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:41.599
<v Speaker 2>to start again? It's still good they'll want to start again.

631
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's because like it doesn't really make sense because

632
00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:49.440
<v Speaker 1>this is an option to get like the ten dollar upgrade, right,

633
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:51.599
<v Speaker 1>like you can go to the switch to version by

634
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 1>paying ten dollars and what that just doesn't bring your saveover.

635
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:58.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're saying is, I'll let's read the Eurogamer story.

636
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Switch to A edition Zelda games won't support cloud saves

637
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to back back up your data. The switch to editions

638
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:07.039
<v Speaker 1>of bo Zelda games won't support cloud saves for database

639
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:10.480
<v Speaker 1>for data backup, and it's currently unclear why. On the

640
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 1>storage pages for both is Zelda Breath of the Wild

641
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:14.440
<v Speaker 1>and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Switch to A

642
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:17.519
<v Speaker 1>disclaimer reads, please note this software does not support the

643
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo Switch Online paid Memberships save Data cloud backup feature.

644
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.640
<v Speaker 1>The same disclamer is not president for president for other

645
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.599
<v Speaker 1>Switch to edition games Super Mario, Party Jamboree, Metroid Prime four,

646
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and Kirby and the Forgotten Land. So it's unclear why

647
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:35.839
<v Speaker 1>this is only impacting Zelda games. That's why it was

648
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:37.319
<v Speaker 1>like weird to me. It's like, why is this just Zelda?

649
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:38.240
<v Speaker 1>What is happening here?

650
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Party Jomboie Saved data will carry over though, that's a.

651
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:46.839
<v Speaker 1>That's like really the salve on this wound, right, Like

652
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll be able to survive twenty five because we have

653
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:53.039
<v Speaker 1>our Mario Party Jamboree save data.

654
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, plus Jobo TV please, yeah, of course.

655
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. What is it?

656
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch to Edition plus Jamboree

657
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>or Chamburrie TV Live.

658
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Is that what it is?

659
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:06.519
<v Speaker 4>Tamburi TV?

660
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that's it. Just keeps going that title. Let's

661
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:12.400
<v Speaker 3>see here. Why does this matter?

662
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:14.799
<v Speaker 1>As a user on reset aer noded players can import

663
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.000
<v Speaker 1>their save file from the original switch to continue using

664
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the switch to edition of the game, but then won't

665
00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:21.079
<v Speaker 1>be able to create a new cloud save file as

666
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:21.559
<v Speaker 1>they continue.

667
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.599
<v Speaker 3>So can you transfer transfer it from switch one? Either way?

668
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:27.319
<v Speaker 3>There's some weirdness here.

669
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't I wish which just had to answer these

670
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 1>questions like why Zelda.

671
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing that I've been you know, I've talked

672
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:39.240
<v Speaker 2>about with a few people, but like Nintendo have delivered

673
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:42.680
<v Speaker 2>so little information on their own products this go around.

674
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:47.680
<v Speaker 2>It feels like one of like people talk about how

675
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:49.920
<v Speaker 2>when the Xbox One was announced, there was that kind

676
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.559
<v Speaker 2>of scuffle bush among all the press who were at

677
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.839
<v Speaker 2>that event trying to figure out information because they didn't

678
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:57.839
<v Speaker 2>want to say certain things and different representatives were saying

679
00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:59.920
<v Speaker 2>different things. It feels like that, but it's been going

680
00:32:59.960 --> 00:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>on for two weeks, like the amount of conflicting things

681
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.599
<v Speaker 2>on different Nintendo websites, the amount of like press having

682
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.359
<v Speaker 2>to track down even the price of the console itself,

683
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 2>and the press having to be the ones to deliver

684
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 2>that news and Nintendo not wanting to deliver it themselves,

685
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:18.119
<v Speaker 2>and it feels fucking weird. It feels like there's parts

686
00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:23.200
<v Speaker 2>of this console that they know are backwards already, Like

687
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.039
<v Speaker 2>it's a more self aware Nintendo where they're like, well,

688
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:28.119
<v Speaker 2>people get mad at us when we tell them all

689
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the weird dumb shit that we do sometimes, so what

690
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>if we just let someone else tell them the weird

691
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:33.279
<v Speaker 2>dumb shit that we're doing.

692
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it's I don't like it.

693
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm wonder if they think it's working for them,

694
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:43.880
<v Speaker 1>because it feels like people are still getting mad at

695
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Nintendo and now also annoyed that they aren't being forthright

696
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and just kind of coming out with this stuff and

697
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>just saying it.

698
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.839
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I mean, look at the YouTube chat for

699
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.759
<v Speaker 2>that direct that was on today. It was still people

700
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:02.200
<v Speaker 2>angry at Nintendo saying lower the price, like people. Then

701
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I would die to see like the consumer sentiment Laporsche

702
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:09.840
<v Speaker 2>going around Nintendo at the moment of how people actually

703
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:11.960
<v Speaker 2>are saying that they feel about Bush.

704
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

705
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I know some people who work that job at Nintendo,

706
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.519
<v Speaker 1>and there it is. You know, they have to go

707
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:21.679
<v Speaker 1>online and like read reset era and then take like

708
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 1>what people are saying, put it in a report and

709
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:26.519
<v Speaker 1>hand it off to the Doug Bowsers and I bet,

710
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I bet that is a fun read right now, and

711
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 1>how people are feeling about it. Uh okay, yeah, let's see.

712
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:35.559
<v Speaker 1>Our chat is all saying triple the price.

713
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:38.239
<v Speaker 3>So there. Yeah, let me say, Sean's got something for me?

714
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:42.840
<v Speaker 3>What was it here? All right? Taking a look floating?

715
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, thank you Sean. It says right here in

716
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:52.159
<v Speaker 1>the trailer, your save data does transfer, so the save data,

717
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.599
<v Speaker 1>your save file form from the switch one version of

718
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Zelda will go to the switch to and then at

719
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:00.480
<v Speaker 1>that point there is some weirdness with the clouds for

720
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>some reason, at least according to one disclaimer, at this moment,

721
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:06.559
<v Speaker 1>which feels like things could change.

722
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:08.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. For some reason, this feels like one

723
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:08.840
<v Speaker 3>of those moments.

724
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Where it's like maybe there's some confusion and Nintendo will

725
00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:13.039
<v Speaker 1>clarify and be like, well, we just meant in this

726
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.440
<v Speaker 1>one specific case, or if it is as they're saying,

727
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:19.559
<v Speaker 1>that's weird. We need more info and exactly an explanation

728
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of why this is.

729
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Okay, We're gonna take a break.

730
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:25.480
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, plenty more to talk about, including

731
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 1>more price increases.

732

00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:29.679
<v Speaker 1>is also going up by thirty five dollars. That's from

750
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred ninety to two hundred twenty five dollars. According

751
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:36.199
<v Speaker 1>to Sony's email, the price adjustment will enable us to

752
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:39.239
<v Speaker 1>continue bringing high quality games and benefits to your PlayStation

753
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:43.599
<v Speaker 1>Plus subscription service. This is the second time Canadian players

754
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:47.039
<v Speaker 1>have seen their PlayStation Plus prices rise, following a hike

755
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:50.719
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty three. Before then, Essential cost seventy dollars

756
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:53.679
<v Speaker 1>a year. Extra was priced at one hundred and fifteen

757
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:56.559
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year, and premium was one hundred and.

758
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:57.519
<v Speaker 3>Forty dollars a year.

759
00:36:57.519 --> 00:36:59.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's premium has gone from one hundred and forty

760
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Canadian dollars two and twenty five Canadian dollars. I gotta,

761
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I gotta think that this is likely exchange rate issues.

762
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:11.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Canadian dollars not worth a ton. It's

763
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Canadians often get raked over the coals with price increases

764
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.639
<v Speaker 1>before anyone else. So, yeah, that stinks. People in I

765
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:23.719
<v Speaker 1>mean Canada already very price sensitive. This cannot help.

766
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you know, Sony got out there and they said,

767
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.079
<v Speaker 2>we need this money to be able to continue to

768
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.079
<v Speaker 2>bring great games to you, like Disney's up for the

769
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:38.760
<v Speaker 2>PS two, you know all those Intelligent Cube two. The

770
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.159
<v Speaker 2>only way you'll be able to play those games is

771
00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:44.159
<v Speaker 2>is if you give them like two hundred and twenty

772
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:44.800
<v Speaker 2>five dollars.

773
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.960
<v Speaker 4>That's a shitload of money. That is so much money.

774
00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:50.639
<v Speaker 1>And what you're getting at is the main benefit of

775
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:55.280
<v Speaker 1>PlayStation Plus Premium are those classic games. So like for

776
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the Extra Tier, you get a bunch

777
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:00.079
<v Speaker 1>of like the new releases or you know, the newer

778
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:04.119
<v Speaker 1>releases that are added to the PlayStation Plus Extra Library,

779
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:07.519
<v Speaker 1>and that's pretty robust and probably still worth it even

780
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:09.559
<v Speaker 1>at this price of what is it, one hundred and

781
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 1>ninety dollars. Okay, that's pretty expensive, but I guess games

782
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:15.880
<v Speaker 1>are expensive in Canada to so that probably does add

783
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:17.559
<v Speaker 1>up to about two and a half games, maybe just

784
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:20.239
<v Speaker 1>two games. I don't know the price is there, but

785
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that sounds about right. And then but for

786
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:28.239
<v Speaker 1>PlayStation Plus Premium, it's like man, the classic games. Sure,

787
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I want to play those things, but that price begins

788
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:33.440
<v Speaker 1>to feel kind of nuts for like, Okay, it's just

789
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.679
<v Speaker 1>the PS three games and PS two games that you're

790
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:39.440
<v Speaker 1>adding to this list, So yeah, I guess, I.

791
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.599
<v Speaker 3>Mean they need the money, what do they need it for?

792
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:42.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

793
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:45.800
<v Speaker 2>The really like weird thing about these prices going up

794
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.159
<v Speaker 2>on you saw it with the Switch as well, is

795
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:51.199
<v Speaker 2>like companies seem to be fucking terrified to talk about

796
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:55.079
<v Speaker 2>ith and that PlayStation price increase in Europe and New

797
00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:59.719
<v Speaker 2>Zealand was announced at like midnight on a Sunday via

798
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:04.320
<v Speaker 2>a log post for European audiences, which would have also

799
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:08.039
<v Speaker 2>been like middle of the night, very early morning for

800
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:12.039
<v Speaker 2>New Zealand Australia, where it was also raised in price,

801
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Like they clearly don't want to deliver this news or

802
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:18.239
<v Speaker 2>be caught delivering this news. They just hope people won't notice.

803
00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:19.920
<v Speaker 2>And I think you saw that with the Switch too

804
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:23.480
<v Speaker 2>as well. Where Like there have been video game consoles

805
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:25.280
<v Speaker 2>that have been too expensive in the past. The PS

806
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:28.239
<v Speaker 2>three was too expensive, the three DS was too expensive,

807
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.000
<v Speaker 2>but they were too expensive in the sense that they

808
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:33.719
<v Speaker 2>were out of line with expectations of what they should be.

809
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:36.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, people are like.

810
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.719
<v Speaker 2>This isn't worth it fundamentally, but like there's this very

811
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:43.119
<v Speaker 2>different feeling now of people look at the price and

812
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:46.239
<v Speaker 2>they're like, Okay, I understand why the price has gone up.

813
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I understand the like socio political and economic reasons why

814
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.119
<v Speaker 2>the price has gone up. I'm fucking sick and tired

815
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:54.760
<v Speaker 2>of ash. And it's a.

816
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:57.239
<v Speaker 4>Much more like vitriolic.

817
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Anger that you've seen around this, because it's not like

818
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:03.239
<v Speaker 2>anger at the company for charging more than they should

819
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:06.079
<v Speaker 2>have or getting the price wrong. It's anger at like

820
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the system that enables them to do it. And I

821
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:12.480
<v Speaker 2>think that and that kind of anger hasn't been subsiding no,

822
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:17.920
<v Speaker 2>which you know, maybe the last solutions set up. Who knows, yep,

823
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:19.800
<v Speaker 2>someone someone should do something.

824
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it is uh the kind of thing where there's

825
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:30.239
<v Speaker 1>usually two reasons why something like this happens. The one

826
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.920
<v Speaker 1>reason is, like you know, Amazon Prime. Half of American

827
00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:37.199
<v Speaker 1>households have Amazon Prime. Everyone seems pretty reliant on it.

828
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.320
<v Speaker 1>They've pushed every other way of buying things out of

829
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:43.239
<v Speaker 1>people's lives, and now people need this service and so

830
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:45.599
<v Speaker 1>we can jeck up the price because people don't want

831
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>to do it any other way that would be very disruptive,

832
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.519
<v Speaker 1>and they're willing to, you know, pay the extra money

833
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:53.199
<v Speaker 1>to keep this service. And then they're what I think

834
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:56.599
<v Speaker 1>is actually happening with PlayStation Plus is not that it

835
00:40:56.679 --> 00:41:00.639
<v Speaker 1>is they both them and Xbox have found the audience

836
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that is willing to subscribe to a service like this.

837
00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:04.920
<v Speaker 1>For both of them, it's going to be the people

838
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.239
<v Speaker 1>who want to play online and then the people who

839
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:10.679
<v Speaker 1>want to to have these other games added to their library,

840
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and they've maxed that out, and so the way to

841
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:15.960
<v Speaker 1>get more money from it is to charge those same

842
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.559
<v Speaker 1>people more money. And so this is like a little

843
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:22.559
<v Speaker 1>bit more desperate than the Hey, we have undercut all

844
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.079
<v Speaker 1>of our competition, put them out of business, and now

845
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:27.519
<v Speaker 1>you'd have no other choice because people do have another

846
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.000
<v Speaker 1>choice here. They could still buy video games and hunt

847
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:32.159
<v Speaker 1>for deals. And I think there are I think there

848
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:34.360
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of people are like, yeah, I'm gonna

849
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.119
<v Speaker 1>keep doing that and I'm never gonna like be relying

850
00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:40.599
<v Speaker 1>on the subscription service if I can avoid it, and

851
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:42.639
<v Speaker 1>and so they're like, Okay, well, then we're going to

852
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:43.599
<v Speaker 1>just charge more.

853
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:44.239
<v Speaker 3>To the same people.

854
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:47.519
<v Speaker 1>Nickel and dime Nickel and dime until until people can't

855
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:49.800
<v Speaker 1>take it anymore, and we're we're gonna find what that

856
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:54.000
<v Speaker 1>point is. And so yeah, I guess, once again, not

857
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:56.400
<v Speaker 1>surprise they're raising prices. But boy, it just feels like

858
00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:58.039
<v Speaker 1>how sustainable is this?

859
00:41:58.199 --> 00:41:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Long term? Uh? You know?

860
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:01.039
<v Speaker 1>With all these things were supposed to be a deal

861
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and they have very quickly turned into feeling like, eh,

862
00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:05.000
<v Speaker 1>this is not such a deal.

863
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:06.559
<v Speaker 3>Now that's gonna be different for everybody.

864
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I bet you could find a tier on PlayStation Plus

865
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:12.960
<v Speaker 1>that feels better for you and that you're happy with.

866
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I bet for most people it's not premium though probably

867
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:21.519
<v Speaker 1>not all right, So let's keep moving here. Madden movie

868
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:25.079
<v Speaker 1>circling even more big names, including John mullaney as key

869
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:28.039

870
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:32.800

871
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:33.840

00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:39.599
<v Speaker 3>And then let's go all right.

874
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:42.599
<v Speaker 1>A movie about the late football legend John Madden, who

875
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.760
<v Speaker 1>is also the namesake of EA's popular video game franchise,

876
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:49.079

877
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:51.679
<v Speaker 1>playing the title role. We heard that before, but I

878
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:54.880
<v Speaker 1>forgot and when I saw that I'm like, oh my god,

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:56.559
<v Speaker 1>return in the Trip Hawkins movie. Yeah, I want that.

900
00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Real bad Jay Allen is the question, that's right?

901
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.639
<v Speaker 3>Movie? The fuck the lock?

902
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

903
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Trip Awkins, who was instrumental in helping launch the now

904
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:12.599
<v Speaker 1>juggernaut Madden series. Han will reportedly play Portray Madden's wife,

905
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Miller is uh tipped for the role of the

906
00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:20.320
<v Speaker 1>late Raiders owner Al Davis's wife, Carol. As reported previously,

907
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Oscar winner Christian Bale will play Davis.

908
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Shit, I forgot about that. Oh my god. Christian Bale

909
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.559
<v Speaker 3>is Al Davis. Oh my god, I'm sorry.

910
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:33.400
<v Speaker 1>That is as someone who like likes sports but just

911
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:37.079
<v Speaker 1>loves like how insane NFL team owners are.

912
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:40.079
<v Speaker 3>Al Davis is the craziest one of them all. It's

913
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:43.159
<v Speaker 3>this is gonna be just give it to me, feed

914
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:46.559
<v Speaker 3>me more. Uh. Christian Beale is gonna look so fucked

915
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:49.679
<v Speaker 3>up in this movie. I'm so excited. Please let this

916
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:50.400
<v Speaker 3>really happen.

917
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Literally, the only problem about this movie is reading the

918
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:55.320
<v Speaker 2>next line of who's directing it.

919
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:57.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm being like, oh right, right, Uh.

920
00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:01.039
<v Speaker 1>That is the sticking point, which is and it's one

921
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:04.039
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons I think this might not happen.

922
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Oscar nominated director David O.

923
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Russell is signed on to direct the movie, which is

924
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:13.039
<v Speaker 1>in the works for Amazon Amazon MGM Studio and will

925
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:17.599
<v Speaker 1>presumably come to Prime video David o' russell is a

926
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:20.440
<v Speaker 1>dirt bag, but also doesn't make good movies.

927
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Like his movies aren't good. They just I do not

928
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:23.920
<v Speaker 3>like any.

929
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:26.679
<v Speaker 4>Of them, and people don't like working with him.

930
00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, the I'm not sure this movie does

931
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:36.480
<v Speaker 2>get made, and also like the I cannot think of

932
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:39.440
<v Speaker 2>anyone who would hate David o' russell more than John

933
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:41.119
<v Speaker 2>mulaney since he cleaned up his act.

934
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that's true. Yeah, I.

935
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Hope they could just get a different director in there

936
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and solve that problem. Who knows, get Danny Boyle directed

937
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:55.440
<v Speaker 1>this instead of what he did.

938
00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:58.320
<v Speaker 3>He did jobs that would be nuts. I would love

939
00:45:58.360 --> 00:45:58.760
<v Speaker 3>to see that.

940
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:03.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's keep moving here, you'd be just making

941
00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:05.000
<v Speaker 1>another Yeah, go ahead.

942
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say this is why I really want

943
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Booker to finish working on Black Mirror, because he

944
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:13.639
<v Speaker 2>fucking loves video games. He has video game magazines back

945
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:16.639
<v Speaker 2>in the day, and if anyone was to like scribe

946
00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:20.599
<v Speaker 2>some video game industry movies, whether they be fiction or

947
00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:23.360
<v Speaker 2>non fiction, I think he would be fucking great for it,

948
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and I would love to see him do some of

949
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:26.000
<v Speaker 2>that stuff.

950
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he like a BBC sort of video game

951
00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:34.719
<v Speaker 1>industry cinematic universe, like actually could happen under him so

952
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:36.079
<v Speaker 1>and that would be awesome to see.

953
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:43.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, which is the the We Shop winn Yeah, yeah,

954
00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:46.639
<v Speaker 3>the Run of the Band, the show. Yeah uh.

955
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:48.960
<v Speaker 1>You be Stopped is making another Battle Royale, this one

956
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:51.320
<v Speaker 1>inspired by Apex Legends, according to a report.

957
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:53.400
<v Speaker 3>This is from George Yang at game Spot. How is

958
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:54.599
<v Speaker 3>this possibly true?

959
00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:57.480
<v Speaker 1>You'll be Stopped as reportedly making a new Battle Royale

960
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.280
<v Speaker 1>game that's inspired by Apex Legends so much that the

961
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:03.480
<v Speaker 1>project once used the game as a thumb now. According

962
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:08.119
<v Speaker 1>to Insider Gaming, Ubisoft's new Battle Royale is code named Scout, Hey, Scout,

963
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you hear that, and it has been in development for

964
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:13.119
<v Speaker 1>a few years already. It's characters are said to be

965
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:16.760
<v Speaker 1>similar to Apex legends own Pathfinder, Wraith, and Lifeline, as

966
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:17.719
<v Speaker 1>well as others.

967
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:23.719
<v Speaker 3>This is the definition like I'm losing my mind. I

968
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:27.039
<v Speaker 3>feel like, what are you talking about?

969
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:30.760
<v Speaker 4>That game exists, It's getting smaller.

970
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:36.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, people already aren't playing ex Legends in Ubi Soft.

971
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:38.280
<v Speaker 3>What you got the Ubi Soft juice you're gonna bring

972
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:39.639
<v Speaker 3>to this? Are you crazy?

973
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:41.800
<v Speaker 4>They've already done that.

974
00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:46.280
<v Speaker 2>They did the fucking Bottle Oyale one at the beginning

975
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:49.039
<v Speaker 2>of lockdown that they shut down that everyone forgot.

976
00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:50.760
<v Speaker 3>I thought what it was called. I can't even remember

977
00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:51.159
<v Speaker 3>what it's called.

978
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was like a fucking quake shooter as well,

979
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:57.440
<v Speaker 2>because it was really quick and like five people were

980
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:00.679
<v Speaker 2>way into but no one else remembers. And they did

981
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:04.480
<v Speaker 2>ex Defiant, which they shut down hype Escape.

982
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:05.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thank you.

983
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:08.559
<v Speaker 4>It's jobs to know what hype Escape is.

984
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:14.280
<v Speaker 3>Yep, it's already gone again.

985
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Ubisoft's history of that shooter, but we made it is terrible.

986
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:26.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, X Defiant was a pretty decent game, but

987
00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:28.599
<v Speaker 1>not decent enough to keep an audience around so that

988
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:30.519
<v Speaker 1>it's still going concern.

989
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:32.159
<v Speaker 3>It is not they're getting there.

990
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:34.199
<v Speaker 1>It's not fully closed down yet, I don't think, but

991
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:35.239
<v Speaker 1>they're closing it down.

992
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:38.119
<v Speaker 2>I can't download it anymore. If you don't own it,

993
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:40.039
<v Speaker 2>you can't and download it.

994
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:43.000
<v Speaker 3>And so X Defiant didn't work.

995
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:46.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's for a genre that actually there still is

996
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:49.679
<v Speaker 1>like more accessible even than bat Rayale in terms of

997
00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:51.599
<v Speaker 1>like are people willing to give a new one a try?

998
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:55.559
<v Speaker 1>I just don't, like, we've seen them do this before

999
00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and fail, why would this be any different? But you

1000
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:00.000
<v Speaker 1>can they can't help them.

1001
00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:03.360
<v Speaker 2>You think about the times that they have had some

1002
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:06.440
<v Speaker 2>success in doing this, it's when they actually do new

1003
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:09.599
<v Speaker 2>and inventive things like Rainbow six Siege like that.

1004
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:11.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it uses.

1005
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:16.119
<v Speaker 2>Like counter Strike as a basis, but there's so much

1006
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:18.719
<v Speaker 2>more going on in that game with its destructible environments

1007
00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:21.559
<v Speaker 2>and things like that that like, it does feel uniquely different.

1008
00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:26.159
<v Speaker 2>And if this game doesn't have something that actually makes

1009
00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:30.119
<v Speaker 2>it stand out, which honestly, most of these Ubisoft Live

1010
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Service games don't, and that's why they disappear. Like they

1011
00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:37.239
<v Speaker 2>even did it with one of their own games. They

1012
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:39.280
<v Speaker 2>even did it with Skull and Bones, where they were like,

1013
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:41.280
<v Speaker 2>what if we do what if we make a game

1014
00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:45.000
<v Speaker 2>that's just black Flag? And then that got bloated and

1015
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:47.679
<v Speaker 2>multiplayer was injected into it and it became a mess.

1016
00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:50.159
<v Speaker 2>And now how's Skull and Bones doing?

1017
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Like, like scor on Bones is the pirate game we

1018
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:55.360
<v Speaker 1>always wanted it to be this week?

1019
00:49:55.639 --> 00:49:58.639
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, what, don't tell me Scull and Bones

1020
00:49:58.679 --> 00:49:59.079
<v Speaker 3>got good?

1021
00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I kind of want to Again, it's probably no one's

1022
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:04.360
<v Speaker 1>playing it, but I'm interested.

1023
00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:07.079
<v Speaker 4>Made it like three weeks ago, didn't she she.

1024
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Was supposed to, But then you'd be soft surprise, laid

1025
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:12.400
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of people off or made some weird decision

1026
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:14.639
<v Speaker 1>and we were like worried about dum dumping on dunking

1027
00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:15.360
<v Speaker 1>on a game that.

1028
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:16.559
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people that we know worked on.

1029
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, so we just played Foam Stars instead, which

1030
00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:24.079
<v Speaker 1>we had no problem making fun of. Uh, you'd be

1031
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:27.400
<v Speaker 1>will host a the Division two showcase next week?

1032
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

1033
00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:31.639
<v Speaker 1>From Ben Lyons at Game Reactor, you'd be soften. Massive

1034
00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:34.760
<v Speaker 1>recently made the decision of delay the next DLC planned

1035
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:38.159
<v Speaker 1>for the Division two, while soon after also revealing that

1036
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:42.519
<v Speaker 1>it will be known as Battle for Brooklyn. Yes, okay,

1037
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:45.199
<v Speaker 1>Now the developer is ready to show off a ton

1038
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:47.760
<v Speaker 1>of information about the next chapter of the action game.

1039
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:52.320
<v Speaker 1>As a the Division two Showcase has been announced. This

1040
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:54.679
<v Speaker 1>will be held on April twenty or yes, April twenty third.

1041
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:58.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know they're still making DLC for this.

1042
00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:00.239
<v Speaker 4>This is they hot a.

1043
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:04.639
<v Speaker 2>They had two other Division games in development that they canceled.

1044
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Right, Division the Heartland, And I think it's a Division hyperscape.

1045
00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:08.679
<v Speaker 3>I think.

1046
00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Good one.

1047
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:13.599
<v Speaker 3>I think that's what it is.

1048
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and like apparently they're still working on Division three,

1049
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:19.360
<v Speaker 2>but like, I guess this is great news for Matt Laurie.

1050
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:20.840
<v Speaker 4>I know he.

1051
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Loved Division two, but yeah, I don't know how this

1052
00:51:25.320 --> 00:51:26.159
<v Speaker 2>game is still going.

1053
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:30.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah people, Yeah, you're right, people do like the Division two.

1054
00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:36.239
<v Speaker 1>But it's like, oh, okay, I know Massive, Massive Entertainment

1055
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:36.920
<v Speaker 1>has been busy.

1056
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:39.559
<v Speaker 3>They made two huge.

1057
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:44.039
<v Speaker 1>Games since Division two came out, in Avatar, and they

1058
00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:45.559
<v Speaker 1>made the Avatar game, right, and they know they made

1059
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars Outlaws.

1060
00:51:48.239 --> 00:51:50.000
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, they've been busy.

1061
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:52.119
<v Speaker 1>It's like, okay, so I would have thought like the

1062
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Division three would be spinning out, and that doesn't. That's

1063
00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:58.079
<v Speaker 1>not the sense I get from this, But who knows. Okay,

1064
00:51:58.360 --> 00:52:01.199
<v Speaker 1>we should keep going here and out of time. Marathon

1065
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:06.800
<v Speaker 1>PC closed Alpha has ridiculously low minimum specs required. Let's see,

1066
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like you'll need an Intel Core I five eighty

1067
00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:13.320
<v Speaker 1>six hundred A rise in five twenty six hundred processor,

1068
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:17.960
<v Speaker 1>eight gigabytes, RAM eight gt X ten fifty TI is

1069
00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:21.280
<v Speaker 1>like really low spec. To me, that just says where

1070
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.760
<v Speaker 1>we're at. If you have an online multiplayer game on PC,

1071
00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:27.800
<v Speaker 1>it's basically got to be like the same specs as

1072
00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:30.280
<v Speaker 1>friggin' roadblocks. At a certain point, you gotta be you

1073
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:34.079
<v Speaker 1>got to run on potatoes because you just got to

1074
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:36.519
<v Speaker 1>make sure that everyone can get into this thing. That's

1075
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a key part of this which is a big shift

1076
00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:42.239
<v Speaker 1>for this industry, but it's one that's been there for

1077
00:52:42.400 --> 00:52:44.599
<v Speaker 1>online multiplayer games for a long time now, and it's

1078
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:45.920
<v Speaker 1>not not surprising.

1079
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:49.880
<v Speaker 2>To see what a funny posh of keeping the heritage

1080
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:51.840
<v Speaker 2>of the game alive when it comes to like, yeah, no,

1081
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:53.920
<v Speaker 2>it's still going to look like a game that ran

1082
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:56.119
<v Speaker 2>on Max in the eighties if you want.

1083
00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:59.559
<v Speaker 3>It to exactly. Yeah, and it's I think the artwork

1084
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:00.559
<v Speaker 3>for that game look so good.

1085
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:02.639
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I bet this is going to look real

1086
00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:05.760
<v Speaker 1>good even on low spec systems, just because it's gonna

1087
00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:08.400
<v Speaker 1>be bright and vivid and it's gonna pop in.

1088
00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:11.400
<v Speaker 3>The designs of the characters are so appealing. So yeah,

1089
00:53:11.559 --> 00:53:12.360
<v Speaker 3>interested to see.

1090
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Uh Okay, I think that does it. For the headlines,

1091
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:19.519
<v Speaker 1>we have a poll question to get into and then

1092
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:22.119
<v Speaker 1>a new pole question for you all. Let's get to

1093
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that one from yesterday. Do you have a switch to

1094
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:29.320
<v Speaker 1>pre ordered? There's three options here. I can't pre order

1095
00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:33.039
<v Speaker 1>my country yet, Yes and no. Eleven percent of respondents

1096
00:53:33.480 --> 00:53:36.800
<v Speaker 1>have pre ordered a switch to forty one percent have

1097
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.440
<v Speaker 1>not and forty eight percent said they can't pre order

1098
00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:43.320
<v Speaker 1>in their country yet. So I think that shows kind

1099
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:45.280
<v Speaker 1>of how many people are in the United States and

1100
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Canada listening to the show. Uh but so, I mean

1101
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:52.840
<v Speaker 1>one in five of people who can preorder have that's

1102
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:54.599
<v Speaker 1>not not too bad, it's and I think that's a

1103
00:53:54.639 --> 00:53:56.920
<v Speaker 1>sign like, oh man, there must be quite a few

1104
00:53:57.000 --> 00:53:58.360
<v Speaker 1>in the supply chain already.

1105
00:53:58.440 --> 00:54:00.599
<v Speaker 3>So they got speaks to what you said, are.

1106
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Where people aren't having the biggest pain in the world

1107
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:04.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to get a pre order. As it happens, it's

1108
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:07.039
<v Speaker 1>if you go up and you try to get one,

1109
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:08.840
<v Speaker 1>seems like you have a decent shot at getting one.

1110
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:10.679
<v Speaker 3>I hope that's the case for us, although I'm not

1111
00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:12.639
<v Speaker 3>expecting it. LEXI. I think it's going to be a

1112
00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:13.360
<v Speaker 3>bloodbath here.

1113
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1114
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:17.719
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Nikki had a pole earlier on the

1115
00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:19.920
<v Speaker 2>show that is europ different.

1116
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:23.639
<v Speaker 4>It was just a good pole.

1117
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:24.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1118
00:54:25.199 --> 00:54:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Twenty eight said yes, four said no. Ifore know what

1119
00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:30.000
<v Speaker 1>they're talking about.

1120
00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:31.239
<v Speaker 3>Let's see.

1121
00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:35.039
<v Speaker 1>And then although they also asked, have you ever referred

1122
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to takeout.

1123
00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:39.239
<v Speaker 3>Bag as a sack? Let me see here, eight said yes,

1124
00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:43.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty six said no, what like, come on, White Castle

1125
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:46.559
<v Speaker 3>you gotta get the burger sack, all right.

1126
00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Finally, white Castle sounds more appealing and delicious when

1127
00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:50.599
<v Speaker 2>you call it a sack.

1128
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:52.199
<v Speaker 3>I love white Castle.

1129
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I just looked it up. There's none in Cleveland. The

1130
00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:56.199
<v Speaker 1>nearest one to me is in Detroit. I have to

1131
00:54:56.199 --> 00:54:59.320
<v Speaker 1>go to a different city. They're based in Columbus. That's

1132
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:01.639
<v Speaker 1>it's a high. Yeah, but hi was very weird.

1133
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:05.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, new pole question. We'll get to that here

1134
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:05.400
<v Speaker 3>in a second.

1135
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Before we do that, Lex LUDDI, why don't you tell

1136
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:09.320
<v Speaker 1>people where they can find you on the internet and

1137
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:10.280
<v Speaker 1>all that good stuff.

1138
00:55:11.320 --> 00:55:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like I said, I was at the Fish Game Summit,

1139
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:15.519
<v Speaker 2>so I'm gonna have some coverage of that going up

1140
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:18.760
<v Speaker 2>on Shaq News over the next few days, an interview

1141
00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:22.679
<v Speaker 2>with Salivia Nelson and one or two previews, and the

1142
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:25.519
<v Speaker 2>website that I run, Start Menu, which is for people

1143
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:28.199
<v Speaker 2>trying to break into the video games media business, which

1144
00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:31.480
<v Speaker 2>made a lot more sense six years ago. Just turned

1145
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:35.360
<v Speaker 2>six years old. But yeah, we celebrated with some really

1146
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:40.000
<v Speaker 2>cool artwork from friend of Giant Bomb, Jerum, who did

1147
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:43.320
<v Speaker 2>some killer artwork for us, and we have put it

1148
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:45.559
<v Speaker 2>up on a merch store. We're selling mugs and T

1149
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:48.239
<v Speaker 2>shirts and stuff, and so go check that out.

1150
00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:49.000
<v Speaker 4>It looks great.

1151
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:54.320
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, go support start menu on Patreon because it

1152
00:55:54.360 --> 00:55:56.239
<v Speaker 2>allows me to keep on doing what I'm doing.

1153
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:01.360
<v Speaker 3>All right, new pole question, who has more of rah Ara?

1154
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:03.119
<v Speaker 3>Let's see there we go. I think I got at

1155
00:56:03.159 --> 00:56:04.920
<v Speaker 3>that time. Your options are.

1156
00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:09.000
<v Speaker 1>It's an image poll, and one is wa Luigi addressed

1157
00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:13.440
<v Speaker 1>as a Mariachi band member. Option two is Warrior dressed

1158
00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:19.800
<v Speaker 1>as a bumblebee, and number three is Mario in a kimono.

1159
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess a traditional Japanese garbe what we'll call it.

1160
00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:24.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure it's more specific than just.

1161
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Kimono absence in this list, which I don't think I

1162
00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:31.559
<v Speaker 2>need to say which one it is, but.

1163
00:56:32.639 --> 00:56:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, just saying the dolphin riding a dolphin. We all

1164
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:35.800
<v Speaker 3>know what you're talking.

1165
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:38.480
<v Speaker 2>A lack of women being represented on Giant bomb at

1166
00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:39.079
<v Speaker 2>show again.

1167
00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:41.679
<v Speaker 3>Yep, well listen, that's those are the rules. I can't

1168
00:56:41.719 --> 00:56:45.280
<v Speaker 3>change him. All right, that poll, we'll get the results,

1169
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:49.800
<v Speaker 3>talk about it on the show tomorrow. Here, that's game

1170
00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:50.519
<v Speaker 3>breaking news.

1171
00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of game breaking news and the Power Block, we'll

1172
00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:56.280
<v Speaker 1>be back tomorrow with a new episode. And then today

1173
00:56:56.800 --> 00:56:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I think we're going into the Game Spot show. What

1174
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:02.719
<v Speaker 1>else is happening? Take a look here, Game Spot Show, Voicemail,

1175
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:08.239
<v Speaker 1>dump truck. There's a Galaxy Showcase talkover or something, or

1176
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:09.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe a post show.

1177
00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:12.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I think you're figuring it out. What's it?

1178
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:14.119
<v Speaker 4>Oh, the Galaxies thing?

1179
00:57:14.199 --> 00:57:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, I thought you were talking about Star Wars

1180
00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:19.119
<v Speaker 2>convention or whatever. That Lucy's uh.

1181
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, she and she, Yeah, Lucy's at that thing.

1182
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:22.480
<v Speaker 1>She's still doing a panel or something like that. It's

1183
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:27.360
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. Happy for so, yes, Galaxy Showcase with GameSpot

1184
00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:29.440
<v Speaker 1>post shows what it says here on my calendar, so

1185
00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:32.360
<v Speaker 1>they'll have something to say about that Galaxy Showcase, which

1186
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:34.760
<v Speaker 1>apparently is gonna you know, some people put together a

1187
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:36.760
<v Speaker 1>show of like new games and from any developers and

1188
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:39.119
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. I always think those are pretty neat

1189
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:43.280
<v Speaker 1>all right, and then tomorrow, you know, UPF will be happy.

1190
00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:46.679
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna play rematch for UPF tomorrow. So that's that

1191
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Rocket League with people is a nuts idea, but we're

1192
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:52.239
<v Speaker 1>going to play it on this website and we'll have

1193
00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:53.000
<v Speaker 1>some criticisms.

1194
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:54.800
<v Speaker 3>I think why this would be a thing that just

1195
00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:56.000
<v Speaker 3>couldn't work in real life?

1196
00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:59.159
<v Speaker 1>All right, Lox Lettie, thank you so much for hanging

1197
00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:00.960
