WEBVTT 1 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:30.879 Hey, everybody, welcome to GameSpot After Dark, Episode number ninety eight, 2 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:35.439 e three. It's finally over. We did it. We all 3 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:39.200 made it. We're alive, we're here. We saw the games. 4 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.280 There was excitement, there was disappointment. We're going to get 5 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.640 into all of that this week. But you may notice 6 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.240 I am not to more your usual host. That is 7 00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.000 because pretty much none of the usual hosts are here. 8 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.399 They are all sleeping and recovering from E three. So 9 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.600 I have joined with me a wonderful panel of a 10 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.079 couple familiar faces and some new faces. Thought we'd take 11 00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.640 the opportunity to get some people on. First up, I 12 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.680 am joined by video publisher extraordinary Ben Jenka. Ben, tell 13 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.120 me how many videos do you think you published this week? 14 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.079 Oh my god, I come prepared for this. Uh, give 15 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:26.079 me a number. It's it's it's definitely more than one hundred. 16 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.760 All right, it is like, let's say that, do you 17 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.599 know what like the average amount of videos like we 18 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.760 publish during the ideas. I'm sorry, I'm throwing way too much. 19 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.439 The last time we did like account like after like 20 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.000 the whole, like like the the E three like initial 21 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.239 hit and then like the residual kind of like after 22 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.560 that and we're all completely clear of it. It was 23 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.719 somewhere around like five hundred on like two channels or 24 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.959 something a three hundred, I don't know. It was a lot. 25 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:55.560 Videos happen everywhere. 26 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.480 That's a lot. There's a lot of videos. And helping 27 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:03.599 make some of the videos is Max Blumenthal, known as 28 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.000 the Breath of the Wild, expert of the Game Spot Office.

I am an associate editor. 78 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.240 As you mentioned, that means I do mostly writing and 79 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.319 queeing other people's writing, and occasionally like helping you guys 80 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.120 with videos if you need something written about them. And 81 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.240 as for games that I like, I kind of dabble 82 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.319 in a lot of things. I mostly like adventure games, 83 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.800 actually adventure games. I'm not a hugely competitive person, except 84 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.319 for in Heartstone, but I don't. I don't get down 85 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.399 for a lot of like multiplayer just because I'm bad 86 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:50.920 at games. 87 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:52.959 I don't. 88 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:54.040 I don't. 89 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:55.519 I don't like throw it out.

I'm like, yeah, okay, probably that's fine. 92 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.120 So yeah, I mostly stick with like single player things 93 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.920 or like games with strong story focused stuff like that. 94 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.120 Yeah. Yeah, Steve is an excellent writer. I'm sure you've 95 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.360 seen some of his stuff around on GameSpot dot com. 96 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.079 Go check that out. Last time I like interacted with you, 97 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.120 was right before the pandemic. 98 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:22.240 We were just yeahing about. 99 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.439 We were at packs. 100 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.839 Literally days before the pandemic. We were at packs together 101 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.199 and that was a fun time of everyone gathering into 102 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.959 one building, thousands and thousands of people. 103 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.639 Yeah. I remember at the time just feeling anxious the 104 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.319 whole weekend. I have. 105 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.000 I have a vivid memory of sitting in the press 106 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.399 room with you and a couple of the other guys, 107 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.279 like as we got the news that they were canceling 108 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.879 other things that were happening like a week later, and 109 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.439 we were like, guys, is this okay? 110 00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:00.720 We all leave right now? Oh god, wow, it has 111 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.519 been a year. Well, moving on to Max. Max, I 112 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.000 mentioned before you are our Breath of the Wild expert, 113 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.120 but you also do a bunch of other stuff. I 114 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.399 feel like that's that's disingenuous to say you're only You're 115 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.079 only one trick is Breath of the Wild. You're actually 116 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.439 a very very good video game player. If you have 117 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.439 ever seen one of our excellent like fighting game like 118 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.920 Combo montages or that really good Final Fantasy seven Combo 119 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.680 Montage when that game came out last year, that is Max. 120 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.560 He is our just our gameplay expert in the office. 121 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.319 Yeah, thanks for fluffing me up. I'm not always that 122 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.519 good that, trust me. But yeah, my name is Max Blumenthal. 123 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.000 I work It's a video producer at Game Spot. I'm 124 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.199 also I also go by Renharasaki, which is my Breath 125 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:49.879 of the World alias, and I do a lot of 126 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.639 Breath of the World work. And yeah, I like fps's 127 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.839 actually adventure games. And I also just do a lot 128 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:57.639 of editing and stuff. 129 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:03.639 Do you know, videos, previews, you know, whatever, whatnot. But yeah, 130 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.439 I'm just just happy to be here and talk to 131 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:06.279 you all about E three. 132 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.040 Fantastic. Well that is a perfect segue, because that is 133 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:10.920 what this whole show is gonna be about. We're not 134 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.360 gonna do our typical what we've been playing because what 135 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.480 we've been playing is working E three. I haven't had 136 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.560 time for video games. I come home and I sleep 137 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:20.680 after each three. 138 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.079 My favorite video game is Work. I love playing it. 139 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.240 Oh no, I love Google's spreadsheets. If you've heard of 140 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:35.439 that one, it's the best. Uh So, Yeah, So this 141 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.560 E three has been I would say, an odd one. 142 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.480 You know, they took a break last year and now 143 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.319 they've come back and they're like E three is back 144 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.680 and we're we're going strong. But it was all digital 145 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.839 this year, which I think is maybe the first time 146 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.040 it's ever been all digital. So it was kind of 147 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:53.399 an interesting one. It was about the the E three 148 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.959 was technically four days. It was like Saturday until Tuesday, 149 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.000 but there was also like Summer Games fast on on Thursday, 150 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.319 and there was the codch media. I think that's how 151 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.279 you pronounce that. I've said it a billion times. Coke 152 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.360 maybe coke coke, Well, I'll say at a different wage time. 153 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.160 But you know that that stuff is E three adjacent, 154 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.199 but it kind of counts in the It's not part 155 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.160 of E three, but it's it's for all intensive purposes 156 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:23.680 part of E three. So there's there's been a lot 157 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.519 going on for the last week. So first off, I 158 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.480 just kind of want to get your guys general vibes. 159 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.320 How did you all just feel about this show overall 160 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:37.600 as a whole? Uh? Starting with Evan, what do you think? 161 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:38.399 What do you think of this? 162 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.159 Yeah? 163 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.759 I think this has been said before, but I felt 164 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.200 like it was it was it felt kind of forced, 165 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.799 like it felt kind of forced to happen, Like they 166 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.120 they didn't do it last year and they want to 167 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.279 keep making E three a things, so they did it 168 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.240 all digital because you know, the world isn't ready to 169 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.399 go back to it in person convention. So many presentations 170 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.399 just did not feel like they needed to be there. 171 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.159 There was stuff that was already announced. I think that 172 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.840 E three press conferences have set a precedent over the years, 173 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.960 right Like there's usually big game announcements, there's always like 174 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:10.000 the one more thing at the end. If you don't 175 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:11.960 deliver that, I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, but 176 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.200 I think the majority of people watching are gonna like 177 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.320 be disappointed because that precedent has been set. 178 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:17.240 I think I think it. 179 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:18.759 Was a Capcom was the one where it was like 180 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.639 Resident Evil Village DLC, and like that is a cool announcement, 181 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.039 But did you need to make a whole press conference 182 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:25.799 just to have a little title card that says the 183 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.159 Resident Evil Village DLC. But you know, I think also 184 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.759 this has been said, but like you know, we should 185 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.919 they should be everyone should be working together, right like 186 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.240 there should be more under the Xbox and the Nintendo roof. 187 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.840 It shouldn't be Capcom doing its own thing and Bandynamico 188 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.440 doing its own thing. I think Sega had the right 189 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:43.879 approach where they were just like I think there were 190 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.480 stuff in the PC Gaming Show, there were stuff in 191 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.639 the Nintendo Show, like the games will ultimately be on 192 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.840 those platforms, so why not just work together in that sense. 193 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.440 So yeah, it was a little uh, it just felt 194 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:56.600 a little forced in that sense. 195 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.240 Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to watch a lot 196 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.399 of like the the E three, I apologized Michael him 197 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.279 if you're listening to this. I didn't get a chance 198 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.039 to watch a lot of that live show stuff, so 199 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.960 I can't comment on that. But the press conferences I 200 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.679 did see, it just definitely felt like there were too 201 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:09.159 many of them. 202 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.720 A lot of them didn't need to happen. 203 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.679 But I thought Xbox was cool and Nintendo. 204 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.840 I mean, I love mister Nintendo. I love Nintendo. 205 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:18.720 I was excited to see that they had a full 206 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.879 slate of games for the rest of the year, Warrior 207 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:26.639 where Metroid Mario Party like their big stuff got pushed 208 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.039 to twenty twenty two. I think Splittoon three and Breath 209 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.200 the While two or like the two like next big games. 210 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.759 But yeah, I mean, overall the ones who are normally there, Xbox, 211 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.000 Nintendo cool, But for the most part, it just felt 212 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.039 like this long extended thing that didn't really need to 213 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:41.080 be this long extended thing. 214 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.039 Yeah, to borrow a phrase from Timore who said it 215 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.159 during our live streams, this C three felt like it 216 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.080 was a lot of it could be summed up as 217 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:56.879 this could have been an email, which is you know, 218 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:01.320 like I there's a lot of heat I would say 219 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.639 from the gamers on the internet about the C three 220 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.240 that was really bad. And and I do think there 221 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.720 is a sentiment that a lot of them maybe forget 222 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.799 there was a pandemic. There's maybe uh developers just don't 223 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.799 have a lot to show, uh, and you know, to 224 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.919 be very respectful of that, but I do agree with 225 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.879 the overall sentiment that, you know, the ESA definitely uh 226 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.919 set up four days of programming and then they sure 227 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.519 tried to fill that four days, and maybe they didn't 228 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.200 need to fill all four of those days. I mean, yeah, 229 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.159 Like Steve, do you think that just like you know, 230 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.440 they could just if they were to take this format 231 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.720 a mey just like trim it down to like. 232 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.120 Yeah, compress maybe. 233 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:46.480 Yeah. 234 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.919 I think I think what you mentioned is important because 235 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:50.879 you said, like there was a pandemic. People need to 236 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.799 remember that, and you know, show some grace to these 237 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.080 developers who have probably had a rough year like everybody. 238 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.759 But I think it's hard to like, I mean, my 239 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.360 versions over all of you three are like it's hard 240 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.360 to untangle exactly where one factor ends and another begins 241 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.039 because E three was already kind of declining, like Sony 242 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.759 had pulled out before there was ever a pandemic. Uh, 243 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.039 And then you know, even before all of this happened, 244 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.559 when we were like covering E three twenty nineteen, we 245 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.120 were like, what's the future V three look like? We 246 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:19.919 don't even know. It seems like it's sort of winding 247 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.200 down as people realize they can do these like digital presentations. 248 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.480 So you have like that factor mixed with the pandemic 249 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.200 mixed with the you know, this year, we don't know 250 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.559 if like did Capcom give a presentation because the ESA 251 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.399 was like, hey you really should give a presentation, you know, 252 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.639 or or or it was cap come like passionate about 253 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:40.759 like wanting to do it. You know. Yeah, I don't know, 254 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.360 So like it's hard, it's hard to tell like where 255 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.360 these where these things sort of like meet up and 256 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.320 join each other, and how much of one or the. 257 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.840 Other is totally I was I was reminded of how 258 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.240 the ESA. Apparently they have a thing where it's like 259 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.200 you when the show was live, you would have a 260 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.320 booth space, and if you didn't, you know, have that 261 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:02.960 booth space for that year, if you said, hey, we're 262 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:04.879 gonna skip this year, then your booth space would kind 263 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:06.559 of get taken away from you. So a lot of 264 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.080 developers would set up a booth even if they didn't 265 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.039 really have anything, just to just to keep that presence. 266 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:16.240 And in some sense, those these some of these showcases 267 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.360 kind of felt like that, like the digital version of 268 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.480 just like keeping the booth going even though there's nothing 269 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:21.919 were there. 270 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.639 I can't recall who it was, but there were definitely 271 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.240 years at you know, Physical E three where a booth 272 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.240 would just be like a big black box and they'd 273 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.279 be like, yeah, well we'll we'll let media in once 274 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.639 in a while for like special you know, business partner 275 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.159 meetings or whatever, but other than that, we're basically closed. 276 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:39.960 We just have this footprint because we need to keep it. 277 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:41.399 Yeah, well, it's like. 278 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.759 That's what like the Capcom presentation was this year, the 279 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.559 video version of like we it's a it's a this 280 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:47.679 space reserved sign. 281 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.320 Yeah, yeah, exactly, like you know, like two K would 282 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.200 be like, ah, we don't have anything, but we'll set 283 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.679 up some couches and like a water cooler for you 284 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.679 all to sit at if you want. Like, uh, maybe 285 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.080 they should have just I don't know, like had a 286 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.240 you know, Hey, we don't have anything to show, but 287 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.879 we're just gonna hire a DJ and we'll play some 288 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.559 music for thirty minutes. 289 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.960 The village like house remixes. I'm into it. 290 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:13.960 Yeah, I think that's kind of how I felt when 291 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.320 I said like it felt for us. I think Steve, 292 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:16.759 you put it right where where it's like, what was 293 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.080 Capcom wanting to do a presentation or was the ESA? 294 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.240 Like please, like can you do something? We could put 295 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.639 it on the schedule, It'll say Capcom. It'll look really nice. 296 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.200 But like you could have put Residevial Village DLC in 297 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.919 the Xbox Show really quickly. 298 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.399 Yeah, yeah, I agree, U Ben? What did? What did? 299 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.679 What do you think of this? This E three? Overall? 300 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.720 You know too much? Not enough? 301 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.840 I think, get to like watch too much of it 302 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.799 outside of I think, uh, like maybe the the wasn't 303 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.480 the PC Game Show the later one? Yeah? 304 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.639 PC Gaming Show and Future. 305 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:56.039 Future to watch the Future Game Show because we didn't 306 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.399 do anything with it. And then h I got to 307 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:05.639 watch the Verizon five G presentation, at which I don't 308 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.639 that why. I mean, I get I know why, but 309 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.679 like why uh so I got to watch those two things, 310 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.919 but I guess, uh just from what I was like 311 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:17.919 able to hear while I was doing things and just 312 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.679 kind of I guess seeing things that kind of came 313 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.240 through it. It did. It just felt kind of lighter. 314 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.240 It felt like there wasn't I don't know, there wasn't 315 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.600 as much of like the the cool E three magic feeling, 316 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:32.399 And I don't know if that's more because it was 317 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.279 digital or because there was just not the same kind 318 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:42.480 of like big grand show of anything really. And I 319 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.759 think the closest thing we got to that was maybe 320 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.080 the Summer Games Fest at the very beginning with Jeff 321 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.000 me a little bit with the Xbox stuff, but it 322 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:53.840 just don't felt like it felt like it was like 323 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.360 a little bit of punch and it made me kind 324 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:56.720 of sad. 325 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.320 Yeah. I mean, it's interesting because they are to go 326 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.960 back to a live like in person show next year, 327 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.919 but I do wonder because I do think there's some 328 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.360 advantages they had to being all digital, you know, like 329 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:13.440 you're able to include more people into certain panels because 330 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.840 they're all able to just remote in. I really appreciated 331 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.480 that they actually, you know, did fill some of that 332 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.919 with panels about like inclusivity and you know, kind of 333 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.000 talking about more industry stuff like they they there was 334 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.360 some things that I thought they used their platform for 335 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.200 in a way that felt like, Okay, cool, Like that's 336 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.840 that's nice. Even even if they're just trying to fill 337 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:38.200 the time in like that. It wasn't. I wouldn't say 338 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.039 all of it felt like just a time waster. There 339 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.519 were some things that they got out of it. Max, 340 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.120 How did how did you feel about this E three 341 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.159 overall compared to two previous E threes? 342 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.720 Yeah, pretty much the same sentiment, except on top of that, 343 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.080 there wasn't anything huge that was brand new that I 344 00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.399 could tell, you know, like Halo Infinite We already knew 345 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.200 about that ring I mean, super hype obviously, but we 346 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.720 already knew about that. Reath of All two, we already 347 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.720 knew about that. So like all these major games that 348 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.079 were announced, and a whole bunch of that I didn't 349 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.880 list obviously, like they were already known and we just 350 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.559 got new information and new trailers and whatnot, but nothing 351 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.920 like brand new that like really spoke out to to 352 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:21.480 me at least that was that was big, so kind 353 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.279 of a bummer. Again, COVID sucks and this whole situation 354 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:28.200 really does put a damper on that. But that was 355 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.519 my takeaway is nothing, nothing huge that was new. 356 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.079 Yeah, yeah, I think we all seem to be in 357 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.240 general agreement about E three. It was it was you know, 358 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.519 it's fun. It's still it's at the end of the day, 359 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.759 you're still getting to see cool video games and that's 360 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.640 always cool. It's hard to complain about that, but yeah, 361 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.759 I do. It did feel like a little bit like, 362 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.480 all right, I don't need to spend my time here 363 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:54.359 watching hearing about five G the five G gaming experience. 364 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.599 Look, I know one thing about five G, and it's 365 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:58.319 going to change the face of gaming forever. 366 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.720 Dude in the Vaccines Destiny three exclusive to Verizon cell. 367 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:05.960 Phones, there is oh snap on. 368 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.559 One thing that was weird about this year is that 369 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:10.759 there was like a very distinct like cut off, like 370 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.160 once E three was over, like oh it's over, Like yeah, 371 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:17.319 you know, well, in previous years, as my background comes from, 372 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.400 like writing news. And I've been covering E three from 373 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.319 like a news writing angle for years, and so there 374 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.000 will always be like the press conferences and then there 375 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.240 would be like three days afterwards where it's like, oh, 376 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.440 did you hear you know this Nintendo execs said said 377 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.759 this to this person, but something that seems contradictory to 378 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.559 this other person, and we need to chase down that 379 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.640 and and get a new quote and see which is, 380 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:37.720 you know, like there'd be follow up news, and there's 381 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.079 not really much of that this year. Yeah, It's it's 382 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.000 odd how it just kind of ended and it's done. 383 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.720 No no after parties, no after party, no after parties. 384 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:50.000 No murder ally uh yeah, not even like demos, you know, 385 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:51.480 like you're normally you get to go and you get 386 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.160 to go play some of the games. And I remember 387 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.519 even last year there was no E three, but there 388 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.839 were still like moments where developers had us like kind 389 00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.400 of remote in through like uh programs like Parseker, like 390 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:04.839 en Vidia has their own kind of like thing where 391 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:06.319 you can like remote play a game, and we would 392 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.559 actually like play a couple demos, but that didn't even 393 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.359 I don't even know of any that happened this year 394 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.680 like I feel like everyone just kind of knew, like 395 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.279 it's all remote. We're not gonna bother setting up any 396 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.000 demos for for press to play even remotely. So yeah, 397 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.799 it was this weird like yeah, like the press conference 398 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.359 over and you're like, oh, it's oh, it's over. It's done. 399 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.839 We can stop. Now. We don't have to hang out 400 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:35.000 here for the rest of the week. Although I mean 401 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.680 we you know, there's still there is still some stuff trick. Yeah, 402 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.440 Xbox had its. It hasn't happened yet the time of 403 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.720 this recording, but they're they're extended showcase that they're doing 404 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.559 on Thursday that all have already happened by the time 405 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:51.480 this recording goes up where they're showing a couple of 406 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.400 extended stuff off, which is cool, but I'm also like, uh, 407 00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.519 I was ready to be done. Could you maybe waited 408 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.920 till next week? It's fine, though, it's fine. It's you know, 409 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.920 more games for the gamers. So let's get into what 410 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.400 we thought of the show and some of our favorite things. 411 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.039 We're not gonna like break down the entire show bit 412 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:12.519 by bit, but I think we're just gonna kind of 413 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.119 go through each thing and and sort of highlight the 414 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.160 stuff maybe we all want to talk about. So first 415 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:21.880 off is the not E three Summer Game Fest, Jeff 416 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.519 Keeley's media empire. He's slowly building the man the man. 417 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.039 He's got the days first with games Calm, so he 418 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.279 basically it runs that show. Now he's got the Game Awards, 419 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:36.440 and now he's going for the essa's throat Summer Game Fest, 420 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.640 not being subtle about it at all. And that's maybe 421 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.039 my favorite thing about it is just how the beef 422 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:45.799 between Killey and the ESSA is just you could feel 423 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.559 the tension, the lightning in the air, and oh, I 424 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.440 love it. There was I think it was Monday, which 425 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.000 is like the thing, Well, it was Monday was like 426 00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.799 the low point of of of the essay streams for sure. 427 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.400 That was the like Verizon Capcom day where they just 428 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.480 had nothing and there was like in the middle of 429 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.640 the day, Kiley just tweeted, uh, Like I told you guys, 430 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.079 I was like, damn Keey, like going for their throats. 431 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.759 But yeah, Killey started off three seasons swinging with a 432 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.279 bunch of stuff. So we have a couple of things 433 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.119 in here that you guys put in Metal Slug Tactics 434 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:26.000 who put that one in. 435 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.000 I put that in. I think Metal Slug is a 436 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.799 really cool We talked a little bit about Advanced Wars 437 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:34.599 coming back and when we were before we started recording, 438 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:36.880 but I'm sure we're gonna get to that. But Metal 439 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.319 Slug has like a similar sort of like cartoony war 440 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:41.680 aesthetic that I've always really dug and I thought that 441 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:44.440 world has been, you know, kind of a fruitful ground 442 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.599 for for cool things, and unfortunately it's always just been 443 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.319 this retro series. But this is cool that they're like 444 00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:51.079 bringing it back in a way that I don't think 445 00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.359 anybody saw coming making a tactics game out of it. 446 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:53.680 Yeah. 447 00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:55.559 Absolutely, I'm really looking forward to that. 448 00:21:55.640 --> 00:22:01.000 Like, holy shit, what an inspired choice. Uh like it? 449 00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.000 It looks so good, Ben, I know you were really 450 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.240 stoked on that one. 451 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.839 I am really stoked on it. I love Metal Slug 452 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.480 and I like tactics games. I just I just have 453 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.839 a problem with S and K being like the one 454 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.440 dude who owns a lot of the company is like 455 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.079 a war criminal. Did you not know about that? 456 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:23.039 No, that was the first time hearing about that. 457 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.079 So like a dude who like like cut up a 458 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:28.720 journalist or something, owns like a huge amount of stock, 459 00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:34.200 I think, which makes me feel bad giving S and 460 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:35.039 K money. 461 00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.039 Yeah, I mean I did not know that until this 462 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:39.640 week either. That was that was news to me. 463 00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:43.279 That's not great. No, I do feel like at some 464 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.920 point they're sort of like you could just if you 465 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.359 trace the lineage, like anything eventually is owned by someone 466 00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.839 who's just an awful person. But that does seem in 467 00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:55.640 particular quite quite. 468 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:56.759 Yeah, that's pretty ugly. 469 00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.599 Yeah, but hey to bring it back though, just get 470 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.119 that off my chest. Yeah, Metal Slug's really rad. 471 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.119 And I'm really really exciting for it. 472 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:09.640 Putting the murder aside focus, I don't I don't. 473 00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.759 Want to be too much of a doubt, but I don't 474 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.200 want to make sure that like people know, I guess, 475 00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.440 but you know, it's interesting that they decided to make 476 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:20.920 a Metal Slug game into a tactics type game, and 477 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.240 I hope that they get the old explosions rights back 478 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:25.440 because those are my favorite part. 479 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:31.680 Yeah. Yeah, I'm I'm not too familiar with Metal Slug. 480 00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:33.079 I've played like a couple of them at like an 481 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.079 arcade randomly, but I always like, I think like those 482 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.440 to me were like in my brain were like peak 483 00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:42.359 pixel art. Of just like the animation and just like 484 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:46.160 how fluid everything looked, and it's like everything's constantly just moving. 485 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:49.000 Shakes and moves, and yeah, got my girl feo when 486 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:51.920 they're running around and stabbing people and poking. 487 00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:55.680 Them, it's such a perfect fit for metal slugs. I'm like, 488 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.960 I'm really really excited for that. Another one they showed 489 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:02.680 that someone put in Tales of a Rise. That was me, 490 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:05.000 That was you, You put in a wead thing. 491 00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:07.720 I did it because I haven't played any Tales games, 492 00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.319 but every time I process a trailer for this game, 493 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.559 I get more and more interested in it. And I've 494 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:14.759 always kind of wanted to play a Tales game, so 495 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.799 I feel like this is gonna be the one that 496 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:17.880 I jump in on, and after all my GRPG stuff 497 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:19.920 I've been doing for the past year, I just feel 498 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:24.279 like it's a perfect opportunity. And that trailer in particular 499 00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:24.960 was really cool. 500 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:28.240 So I'm surprised you haven't played it, because yeah, this 501 00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.079 the series has been going on for a pretty long time, 502 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.000 and like I've played a bunch of the Tales games. 503 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:35.839 Bizouria was kind of a letdown, but like Vesperi is 504 00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:39.079 my favorite still and this is the first game that's 505 00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:41.640 obviously taken this like art style, Like they've never gone 506 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:43.599 this route before, so I'm kind of curious to see 507 00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.920 how it turns out. But it just really it's just 508 00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.319 kind of odd almost like seeing this like really highly detailed. 509 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.319 It's usually that kind of cell shady, cartoony look, but yeah, 510 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:53.720 it's definitely deviating from that. 511 00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.279 So yeah, I'm kind of curious. It's also the first 512 00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:59.920 like open world or like sort of open world. I'm 513 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.240 very Yeah, I'm very curious like how that game is 514 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.279 because I've also never played Tales, but I know, like 515 00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:07.759 my brother like loves those games, and I've always been 516 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.559 like meaning to get into but they're they're just so 517 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:14.000 oh they're so long, and they're they are pretty long games. 518 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:17.079 They're very grindy games. But like the combo system in 519 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:18.920 that game is freaking amazing. So if you want to 520 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:20.839 play like a good action g RPG, that's like the 521 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.640 game for sure. 522 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.079 Cool heck, yeah, I'm definitely gonna check that out. Another 523 00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.039 one I put in that because there was a lot 524 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.720 from Summer Games Fest, a lot of good stuff. One 525 00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:31.680 I one that stuck out to me just because I'm 526 00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:33.480 personally excited for it is the Evil Dead game. 527 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:34.680 Yeah. 528 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:39.240 I I love that genre of you know, your asymmetric 529 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.920 multiplayer where you know, you got a bunch of survivors 530 00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:45.559 and then you got like the the zombie and or 531 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.160 the the enemy type. You know, you're you're what's that 532 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:54.000 one game, the one that's well dead by Daily That 533 00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:55.640 was the one I was saying, like the one that 534 00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:00.680 that's becoming the smash Bros of horror games, Like there's 535 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.000 that game, which which is okay? I I personally I 536 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:06.599 don't think could get too much into it, although I 537 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:08.960 kind of want to try it again now that like Jill's. 538 00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.359 In well, I was gonna say, I booted it up 539 00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.559 yesterday and I didn't realize that the Resident Evil chapter 540 00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.359 come out, and I'm like, I'm not big up into 541 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.240 that game. But as soon as I'm like, hey, I 542 00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.799 can be Jill or it could be Leon, I'd be 543 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.960 Leon dressed up as already for Leon with his leather jacket. 544 00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.119 Put me in there. 545 00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:24.759 I want to do it. 546 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:29.319 When on Twitter when Susie aka spear Hunter mentioned that 547 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.599 this game has both Heather from Silent Hill three and 548 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.039 Jill Valentine in the same game, I was like, oh, shit, 549 00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:39.519 I should play this. This seems pretty good. But yeah, 550 00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.440 I really like that. I really like the idea of 551 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.480 that game. I really like the Friday the thirteenth game 552 00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:47.519 Rest in Peace. That that poor game, Uh it's gone 553 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.279 before it's it's time. But the Evil Dead one looks 554 00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.400 like really cool and I love Evil Dead and like 555 00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:58.240 they're really embracing like the silliness of that that you know, franchise, 556 00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:01.240 and it just seems like such a perfect fit. And 557 00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:02.799 I was like, I remember when they announced it. I 558 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:04.200 was like, oh, I hope this is good, and like 559 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:06.880 seeing an action, I'm like, yes, this is what I 560 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:10.079 wanted from this. So I'm really excited. And I think 561 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.000 that's everything from Summer Games Fest. I don't think they 562 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:18.200 really announced it anything else at all, but yeah, maybe 563 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.079 some small and I don't know, I'm not. 564 00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:22.480 Sure Timora is not here to be. 565 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:25.839 I can hear him screaming somewhere. 566 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:30.440 Yes, his head perks that he's like something's wrong somewhere, 567 00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:33.039 just pops. 568 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.279 In the call all of a sudden, like he is. 569 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.599 Yes, they showed off Eldin Ring finally you could you 570 00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:43.480 can see the excitement in a Chilly's face that he 571 00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:44.440 got elden Ring. 572 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.240 He knew, he scored like the big Oh he knew 573 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:47.680 he knew. 574 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:51.839 And I mean, to be fair, I think it's the 575 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:56.720 best trailer, the best showing of the entire week personally, 576 00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:58.960 Like I mean, not trailer is just I think it's 577 00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:00.319 like two to two and a half minutes. It is 578 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.680 packed with stuff. There is so much to go over. 579 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:08.160 That game looks incredible. I mean, I imagine everyone's talked 580 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.240 about it to death now because it's been like pretty 581 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:13.839 much a full week's sense of it. But I am 582 00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:15.920 so excited for that game. That's probably one of my 583 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:21.839 most anticipated games of next year. I mean, it looks 584 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:26.000 like it's I'm so curious, like how the actual open 585 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.599 world elements are going to be. Like in my head, 586 00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:31.839 I'm like, is this like Dark Souls but like Breath 587 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:35.720 of the Wild in terms of like open expliration, and like, 588 00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.559 I just I kind of want to know what that 589 00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.680 game actually is like to play and what the structure 590 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:42.279 of that game is. 591 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:44.200 But I mean, as far as I can tell, I 592 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.599 think there was some information about that about like being 593 00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:50.599 like hub areas or like dungeon ish like six years 594 00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:53.200 that kind of spread out, so it's not entirely like 595 00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:56.559 a cohesive open world, but yeah, it is definitely like 596 00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.200 sort of segmented but still like open areas. 597 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:01.440 Right, Yeah, they said it was like, yeah, there were 598 00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:04.039 like six dungeon areas, but what does that mean by 599 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.240 like dungeon, like it's like a dungeon because I think 600 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:09.799 it was like, well it is, like so it's like, 601 00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.319 I mean that could be pretty huge, like you know, 602 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:17.079 and I'm curious, like was that trailer all one kingdom 603 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:18.759 was multiple kingdoms? Like what? 604 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.119 What? 605 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.039 What's the cause? Usually, you know, they like to keep 606 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:24.640 that stuff tied to their chest. And there will definitely 607 00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:26.759 be like a ton of areas and locations that we 608 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:28.759 have not seen and they're not gonna show until that 609 00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.680 game's out. So I'm I'm still curious what like the 610 00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:36.480 full scale of that game is gonna be. Uh yeah, 611 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:36.839 I was. 612 00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.240 I'm actually like like I love I love a good 613 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:43.440 Soul's game, but I'm kind of like like a like 614 00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:45.519 a mild spice kind of when it comes to getting 615 00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:49.960 like stoked on them. Admittedly okay, but uh there's something 616 00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.240 about this one and then hearing or reading somewhere that 617 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.519 there's like a like a focus on not just like 618 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.400 like combat but also stealth gameplay, and that I kind 619 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.480 of piqued my interest more than almost anything else because 620 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:05.799 I like the idea of being able to kind of 621 00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.079 sneak around and do that kind. 622 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.880 Of thing totally. They showed a little bit of that 623 00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:14.200 in the trailer, and it's very like seci Row. Yeah, 624 00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:18.079 you know, it feels like they're pulling from the greatest hits, 625 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:20.599 the front software greatest hits. Like it's like, oh, that 626 00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:23.559 church over there looks like Bloodborne and oh you know, 627 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:26.799 like yeah, that combat looked like seci Row and then uh, 628 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:29.599 that boss looks like straight out of Dark Souls. Like so, 629 00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:34.000 I it feels like they're just firing on all cylinders 630 00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:38.079 with that stuff. I am super excited for that one. 631 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:40.200 I mean that trailer was amazing. 632 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:40.839 It is. 633 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.559 Yeah, I pretty much delve. 634 00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:45.880 Into like how trailers are edited and what they're like, 635 00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.480 and like the painting and the music and just like 636 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.039 the delivery of all the things that once was amazing 637 00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:54.599 in that trailer. And admittedly I'm I have actually never 638 00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:56.680 played a Dark Souls games. I think I played some 639 00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.680 Demon Souls for a little bit, but I like have 640 00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:04.880 no touched pretty much the Soul's genre at all, And 641 00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:06.559 I know people are gonna hate me for that, but 642 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:10.319 that's just something I haven't touched. And this game is 643 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:13.200 probably my big Like the first initial trailer a couple 644 00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:15.680 of years ago was I didn't really get much information 645 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:17.200 from that, so I didn't really get much as hype 646 00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:20.519 as much hype from other people. But this trailer for 647 00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:23.240 sure like drew me in a lot more than even 648 00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:25.920 besides the breath of the wildish aspects of it, Like, 649 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:28.559 besides that, like, this game looks really amazing and has 650 00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:30.160 really caught my attention for sure. 651 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.079 Dang, it's cool. You think you're gonna go back and 652 00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.200 like play some of the older ones now, or just 653 00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:37.079 are you like looking forward to this one in particular? 654 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.880 I'm I may surey to play some of the older games, 655 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.319 but I'm mostly looking forward to this game. I think, uh, 656 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.240 probably what will happen is I'll play this game when 657 00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:48.720 it comes out, and then I'll be like, oh, I'll 658 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.160 see what I missed in other games and then go 659 00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:52.759 from there, because usually I want to get my hands 660 00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:54.400 on something that I like first. 661 00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.440 And then go back to something else, okay. 662 00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:58.000 Because I want to see its lineage, like similar to 663 00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.000 like Apex and like Titan Fall, where I didn't ever 664 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:03.000 played Titanfule at all. Oh played Apex first, I'm like, 665 00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:04.960 oh wait, now I want to seats lineage, then go back. 666 00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.920 I'm doing it completely backwards. But you know, everybody's got 667 00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:09.599 their own experience. 668 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:11.359 As long as you get there, that's what matters. 669 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.319 Now, I've got both my hands, max it if it 670 00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:16.839 makes you feel better. I have not played any Souls 671 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:18.400 games either, so if people hate. 672 00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.160 You too, guys, this is a safe space to more. 673 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:21.480 It's not. 674 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:27.400 You just gotta play the best Souls game, Dead Souls. 675 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:35.000 Oh yeah, the only Souls game I've ever finished. Anywhere. 676 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.920 We stop and then I see you added one more 677 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.519 very important thing that I feel. I can't believe I 678 00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:46.960 forgot about it. Oh yeah, that that Death Stranding trailer, 679 00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:50.839 the director's cut. There's so much to break down. I mean, 680 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:54.200 first off, uh, this is not a new take, because 681 00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:55.960 a lot of people have made this a comparison. But 682 00:32:56.119 --> 00:33:01.640 just the idea that Kajima is like my creative. Like 683 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:03.440 the whole point of Death Stranding was that it was 684 00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:07.160 like the man was like unsiltered, he could do whatever 685 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.880 he wanted, Like the original game was the director's cut, 686 00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:14.279 and he's like, but but I'm coming back for more, and. 687 00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:16.319 I love films so much that I'm going to call 688 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:17.880 it the directors. 689 00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:25.880 And then of course the Metal Gear music and the 690 00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:27.759 like the stealth area and the. 691 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:31.480 Barges so. 692 00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:36.960 And then the oranges happened. So I mean around the room, 693 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.759 I want everyone to take Do you think this is 694 00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:43.920 actually this actually means something in terms of it's gonna 695 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.759 be in the game or do you like, Okay, I 696 00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:52.960 don't think this is like, this isn't some like you know, uh, 697 00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:57.920 Kajima's secret, like I'm bringing Metal Gear back. Guys like, 698 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.519 I don't know, what do you what are your take 699 00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:03.400 on this? What do you think this? Does this mean anything? 700 00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:09.960 Is this just Kajima being Kajima? Yeah, he's He's always 701 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:13.679 wild ride it never stops. What's that? What's that one 702 00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:17.960 subreddit that we keep checking it on never be Game Over? 703 00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:19.599 Was that? Did that blow out? 704 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:23.280 Like, guys, they're probably all about it right now. 705 00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.119 The secret third act of Phantom Pain was going to 706 00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:28.880 put it inding. 707 00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:34.280 That's probably like five different threads right now. You've literally. 708 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.679 But I'm legitimately excited for that. I've okay, so like 709 00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:41.800 this is me. I'm gonna show my whole ass here. 710 00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:45.119 I have not beaten Death Stranding. I didn't beat it 711 00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.840 on play PlayStation four, and then I was like I 712 00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:51.000 got on PC and I was like, ah, PC, this 713 00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:52.760 is my my chance to beat it. And then I 714 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:54.840 didn't beat it there either. So now I'm like, PS 715 00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:58.400 five finally three times the charm, I will beat this game. 716 00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:01.000 Wait, are you starting from cratch every single time? 717 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:04.840 Or oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I meant you know, yeah, 718 00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.480 I didn't actually get that far. 719 00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:11.800 Like, yeah, I don't blame you, because I remember when 720 00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:13.800 we got it and we were playing it, like I 721 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.559 put it down for a long time because those first 722 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:17.599 few chapters are just paced so poorly. But you hit 723 00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:19.440 a point I think where it really hits its stride. 724 00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:21.440 So I tell people that when they go into Death Stranding, 725 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.400 like expect things to start off really slow, and if 726 00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:26.880 you're willing to put in that time, then you'll get 727 00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:28.679 something really cool. But I understand that's a lot to 728 00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:30.719 ask of people. So like when people tell me they 729 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:31.480 don't finish. 730 00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:35.360 It two, once you hit hour twenty, man, it's off 731 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:36.039 to the races. 732 00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:38.840 I didn't take my own advice and skipped the second 733 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:40.159 chapter like I should have. 734 00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:41.760 Yeah, didn't you do a PSA on that? 735 00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:45.480 Yeah advice that was like skip the second chapter. And 736 00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:46.760 then when I played it, I was like, well, what 737 00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:48.599 if I do the entire second chapter? 738 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:52.400 What if I do the opposite of what I've told 739 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:53.039 people to do. 740 00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:56.039 I spent about hundred and fifty hours playing that game. 741 00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:58.320 I don't feel like a second was wasted. I loved 742 00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:58.960 it so much. 743 00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:01.480 Did you get the Platinum trophy or I. 744 00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:04.599 Didn't get the Plant trophy? I literally have like one 745 00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:07.119 delivery to do and I'll probably wrap it all up, 746 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:08.800 and I just never could bring myself to go back 747 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:09.199 and do it. 748 00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:11.239 Well, now you have your chance, it's true. 749 00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:12.480 True. 750 00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:13.480 So well. 751 00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:15.880 Actually, one other thing about Summer game Fest, just because 752 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:17.960 it's it's branded Summer Game Fest, I don't think it's 753 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:21.360 really like necessarily tied to Summer Game Fest in any 754 00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:23.400 particular way. But one thing that I think is really 755 00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.639 cool that E three should steal is this this whole 756 00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:30.320 demo program that that they partnered with Xbox for for 757 00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:34.159 the Xbox SGF demos. They were like, it's like forty 758 00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:38.400 demos and granted the curation like sucks, like unless they've 759 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:40.679 changed it in the last couple hours since I've checked. 760 00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.239 They don't have like a section where you can just 761 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.320 find all of them. But like putting up a bunch 762 00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:47.960 of demos for like people to try at home feels 763 00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:51.960 like a modern thing for the games industry to be doing, 764 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:54.480 and they should just keep doing that, like in the future. 765 00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:57.119 They did it last year in this year because you know, 766 00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:59.039 all digital things are weird because of the pandemic, But 767 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:00.760 they should just keep doing that. It's a smart idea 768 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:04.199 let people at home like participate in a way, you know. 769 00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.199 Yeah, I one hundred percent agree. I think, uh Steam 770 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.360 did something similar last year as well, and like I 771 00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:12.519 kind of missed that stuff at first, but I remember 772 00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:14.320 like seeing a bunch of people talk about it and 773 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:17.079 they're like, oh, I like found like my new favorite 774 00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:19.119 cool game by just like getting to check out this 775 00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:21.480 free demo. Like I, Yeah, I think that's rad. 776 00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:24.840 I mean it's like replicating the experience of like wandering 777 00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:27.000 the show floor and just stumbling across some cool thing 778 00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.079 and like letting people kind of kind of have that 779 00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:30.960 experience from their houses. 780 00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:34.440 Yeah, I think just literally do the Devolver thing where 781 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:38.360 they remade E three inside of an FPS and no, 782 00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:40.800 I remember how those wild. 783 00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:43.239 That was a wild one that was weird but cool. 784 00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:46.480 I like that one when that Devolver weird. 785 00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:52.920 What we're talking about? So moving on we have I actually, 786 00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:55.960 uh it was the Tribeca Game Showcase. I actually didn't 787 00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.840 check this out because I was busy with other stuff. 788 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:01.679 Did you guys check this. 789 00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:02.280 One out at all? 790 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:04.840 I watched, I watched a bit of it. 791 00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:07.400 I watched a bit of it. I think again, like 792 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.320 the main leading game was Kenna. There wasn't there was. 793 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:11.960 There were a lot of indie games there for sure. 794 00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.360 Just the only thing that stuck out to me obviously 795 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:18.320 is Kenna because I've just been like religiously following that game. 796 00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:20.559 But yeah, it's just. 797 00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:23.360 New new footage, New preview is just super hyped for it, 798 00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:26.960 and I just love the developers Slash. I don't know 799 00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:29.440 how animators. I guess too, because they had like the 800 00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:34.199 vision of Majora's mask short, which was amazing. Definitely see 801 00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:37.840 those people, yeah, those people. Yeah, So that's why the 802 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:40.079 animation in this game is just so amazing. And like, 803 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:44.239 you know, their picks. They people keep complaining that not complaining, 804 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:47.039 they're they're just kind of adding to the point that 805 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.920 it's just basically Pixar in a game, and it's amazing looking. 806 00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:52.239 I don't I don't think I've seen any other game 807 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:54.199 that looks quite like this style, at least that I 808 00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:56.800 know of, but I'm super interested for sure. 809 00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:02.199 Cool. Yeah, Well, moving on, I have Cotch Media with 810 00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:05.480 a big question mark because that was maybe the first, 811 00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:09.440 the first of the sign of things to come for 812 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:12.480 this E three. That was a weird one. I feel 813 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.159 like the Coach Media one was like the polar opposite 814 00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:18.000 of like say like the Capcom one or the Gearbox one, 815 00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:21.320 where it's like they actually had like some cool games, 816 00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:24.039 but they had no idea how to present it and 817 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.400 just had these like it was like two hours long, 818 00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:29.559 and it was a bunch of interviews that were very, 819 00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:33.119 very dry and oh yeah, it came across like a 820 00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:38.440 weird like like a pitch because like every every interview 821 00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:41.000 they always ended with like why is Coach Media such 822 00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:43.760 a great partner for for gaming? And it was like 823 00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:45.760 this weird, like am I watching like an investor? 824 00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:46.239 Pitch? 825 00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:47.920 Like this is very felt. 826 00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:50.440 It felt a bit because I feel like every single 827 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:54.119 person got asked the same set of questions. Yeah, all 828 00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:54.760 the way through. 829 00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:58.880 It was really it was really weird, but like they 830 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:03.840 actually had like like a couple cool games, like they teased. Well, 831 00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:06.480 the big one was that they teased was it paid 832 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.280 a three like a pay Day three proper? 833 00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:08.719 Oh? 834 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:09.519 Is it just well? 835 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:12.079 Yeah, they showed that Paity three is happening, and then 836 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:15.880 they showed like a screen of the characters standing up 837 00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:19.400 on my like a building, and then I think later 838 00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:23.519 on they showed a little bit more. Nothing really substantial though, 839 00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:27.639 but hey, Paydia three. I'm excited pay Day paid a three. Yeah, 840 00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:30.840 they they had a couple of things. I feel bad. 841 00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:33.880 I admittedly don't have those names offhand, but I remember 842 00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:35.880 seeing a couple of cool games that I was like, oh, 843 00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.960 that seems cool. And then they just had people. 844 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:41.880 Like really boring interviews for like thirty minutes, and I 845 00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:44.800 was like, oh, okay, so why don't we just move 846 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:49.360 on from that and instead uh talk about the first 847 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:55.280 big one, which was you Be Soft Forward. I thought 848 00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:57.679 You'd be Soft was pretty okay. 849 00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.119 Overall, ib soft felt like about the same that UBI 850 00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:03.000 soft usually feels like. 851 00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:04.320 I would agree, Yeah, it was. 852 00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:06.880 A good, solid, you know, solid effort Yeah. 853 00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:10.920 Yeah. They started off pretty strong with with Rainbow. With 854 00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:13.519 Rainbow six Extraction, they showed like a bunch of that, 855 00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:15.519 which is cool because I think that's like their their 856 00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:19.000 big game of the year that they're showing off and 857 00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:22.480 that seemed neat weird. A lot of again, a lot 858 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:24.960 of people pointing this out. Uh, this E three was 859 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.079 like the E three of like hoard based co op shooters. Yeah, 860 00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.599 they're they're bringing them back. That was like such a 861 00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:34.760 popular thing back in like the two thousand and nine 862 00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.039 tens era, and then that kind of like died and 863 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:40.079 like suddenly that is like back with a vengeance because 864 00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:43.119 we have like, uh, you know, Extraction, we have a 865 00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:48.800 back for Blood. Obviously, there's Aliens, Fire Team, Full Red Fall. Uh, 866 00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:51.360 there was a uh, there was a one of the 867 00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:53.639 games that Coach Media was like that as well, Like 868 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:55.760 there was I was like, oh my god, like this 869 00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:00.920 is cool, but also, oh boy, this genre quickly becoming 870 00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:06.400 oversaturated before any of these are even out. But what 871 00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.320 was some what were some big highlights for you guys 872 00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:13.639 from Ubisoft forward. Somebody put in, uh, Mario Rabbit's Sparks 873 00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:14.679 of Hope. Who is that? 874 00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:18.280 Yes, I put that. I really liked that Mario Rabbits game, 875 00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:21.440 the first one that came out. It's I didn't expect 876 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:23.800 to like it because I find the Rabbits kind of obnoxious, but. 877 00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:26.119 They are the minions of the video game. Yeah. 878 00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:29.360 But here's the thing. I think Ubisoft knows that. I 879 00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.800 think like, oh, they were they were very playful with 880 00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:34.039 the with the humor in that first Mario plus Rabbits game. 881 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:37.119 Or they're like, yeah, they're like obnoxious jackasses who like 882 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:39.920 kind of annoy Mario with the rest of them, and 883 00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:42.880 that's sort of the joke, you know, So like this, 884 00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.840 you know, it doesn't look like, uh, it's doing anything 885 00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:49.840 too different or unexpected. I guess the big hook of 886 00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.719 the of the sequel is that you have these power 887 00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:56.119 up items sort of reminiscent of a classic Mario game. 888 00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:58.840 It's the sparks that give you these sort of special powers. 889 00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:03.400 But otherwise it's like, you know, an isometric Mario xcom 890 00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:06.639 game with rabbits. So it's more of it's more of that, 891 00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:07.800 and I'm down for more of that. 892 00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.079 See, I'm part of how this whole thing works. I 893 00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:13.239 never played Mario Rabbits. That announcement happened. I bought Mario Rabbits. 894 00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:14.880 So now I'm gonna play Mario Rabbits. 895 00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:18.559 Oh okay, so you think yeah, because I also I 896 00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:20.079 really liked that game. I didn't finish it, but I 897 00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:21.880 got like, I think, like over halfway through. 898 00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:23.840 And that game got surprisingly hard. 899 00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:25.960 Yeah that's what happened. Like I kind of got stuck 900 00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:29.440 and I was like whatever, and then I like just 901 00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:31.760 never picked it back up. Yeah, it's surprisingly tough for 902 00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:37.079 like a very kids centric like tactics game. But yeah, 903 00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:40.159 I really like that game, and I'm super interested in 904 00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:42.639 like a sequel like they were. It seems like they're like, 905 00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.800 uh playing a little bit, like they're going a little 906 00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:49.239 bigger with the environments and like walking around like they 907 00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:53.360 seem to have more ambition with it than the first ones. 908 00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:56.239 I'm very curious to see how that plays out. 909 00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:58.920 And the setting is very Mario Galaxy. I like how 910 00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:01.440 the I like how the Rabbit versions of everyone is 911 00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:04.679 like sort of like a like a twisted version of 912 00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:07.920 the Mario character, like you know, Mark Mark, Like like 913 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.280 Peach is like, you know, cute, It's Peach, and then 914 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:14.039 but then like Rabbit, Peach is like obsessed, obsessively vain. 915 00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:17.800 Yeah, like Rabbit and Rabbit. 916 00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:20.039 Rosalina is just like over it. She's just like, oh, 917 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:21.119 that's bullshit again, you know. 918 00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:26.519 Like yeah, otherwise you'd be soft, you know. I think 919 00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:28.480 they just kind of showed the what we expected, a 920 00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:31.239 little bit of Far Cry, just dance. They had that 921 00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:34.679 Avatar game at the end, which it looked nice, but 922 00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:42.559 av I mean like they made that first Avatar game 923 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:47.239 years ago, and kind there was there was an Avatar game. 924 00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:50.400 I think game I didn't know was it you be Soft? 925 00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.599 It would be nice if we got at it. 926 00:44:57.480 --> 00:44:59.760 I feel like, just like a week before the UBI 927 00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:03.039 saw conference, there was like reports of like, you know, 928 00:45:03.239 --> 00:45:05.199 Avatars in development. Hell, they don't know what to do 929 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:07.559 with the story because it, you know, the movie is 930 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.360 taking so long. And then they come out with this 931 00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:12.880 press conference where they're like, it's an original story, we 932 00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:16.760 can just make it. It's fine. It doesn't it doesn't in 933 00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:17.480 to the movie at all. 934 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:22.800 Yes, James Cameron's Avatar. The game was released on December first, 935 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:29.280 two thousand and nine, by you be Soft. Yeah, by 936 00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:34.719 game Loft helped develop that. Yeah, I remember that that 937 00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:40.519 being like like slightly above part for like a license game, 938 00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:42.519 but otherwise pretty. 939 00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:44.760 Good, there's another shot. You love to see that. 940 00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.039 Yeah, but yeah, they're getting they're getting the run back 941 00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:48.679 on it. You know, maybe maybe this one will be 942 00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.800 will be better. Yeah, you know, I don't really care 943 00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:55.199 much about Avatar, but I will say like that that 944 00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:57.559 world at least has a lot of potential to it 945 00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:00.000 that could could make for maybe a fun video game. 946 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:04.039 So I'll reserve judgment, I guess, until we actually see 947 00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:09.760 more of it. But moving on to uh Gearbox, which 948 00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:13.599 was maybe in the run for most disappointing in like. 949 00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:19.360 It was it though, Like I mean, what did you expect? 950 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:26.119 Like it was? It was such a we. 951 00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:27.639 We wanted right at the beginning, which is good? Did 952 00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:28.320 we Yeah? 953 00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:30.800 Because did I want that? Did I want Randy Pitcher? 954 00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:34.119 Like no, not that beginning the beginning beginning, I don't 955 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:35.199 count that as the beginning. 956 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:37.719 The Wonderland trailer. 957 00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:41.400 We got the new Borderlands game trailer, and that's no. 958 00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:47.079 That was at Summer Game Fest, thought that we were 959 00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:50.360 there for, but they didn't say anything else about it. 960 00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:53.920 It was such a like, hey, we still are making that. 961 00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:57.239 The rest of it was was Randy like it was 962 00:46:57.320 --> 00:46:59.320 kind of cringey, just like walking around the set and 963 00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:04.639 kind of like like like surprise, obviously surprising people who 964 00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:08.159 did not know he was coming. And not just Kevin Hart, 965 00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:09.679 but Kevin Hart was one who like showed it the 966 00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:11.400 most of his face. Like everybody he went out to 967 00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:13.639 was like, Hey, I'm Randy. I'm here to talk to you, 968 00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:16.679 and I have got a camera crew and I'll just like, uh. 969 00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:17.559 Trying to work here. 970 00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:21.000 And it was it was funny when like I think 971 00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:22.960 there was like he's like, Randy, get over here, like 972 00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:24.440 there's a cool behind the scenes thing we could do. 973 00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:26.159 He's like, oh, I'm filming a thing for E three 974 00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:28.639 And he's like, oh. 975 00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:28.920 Get out of here. Stop. 976 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:30.320 Yeah, I don't know what you're doing. 977 00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:36.400 Yeah, I mean I admire that they like tried to 978 00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:37.039 make it fun. 979 00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:37.559 You know. 980 00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:40.400 They had those weird interstitial things they were trying to 981 00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:46.199 interject that that gearbox humor. You know, for whatever that's worth, 982 00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:49.559 take it or leave it your own opinion about if 983 00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:51.840 you actually like that stuff. But compared to maybe like 984 00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:55.039 something like Capcom, they were at least trying to make 985 00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:58.159 it entertaining, even though they clearly really didn't have much 986 00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:01.000 to show. They kept saying that there was a new homeworld. 987 00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:04.400 Yeah, that was really weird. The most annoying thing. It's 988 00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:07.599 like driving through South Dakota where they're just like this 989 00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:11.320 world famous flippant tourist trap is coming up, get ready 990 00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:15.199 for it, and they do that for eight hours and 991 00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:17.599 then you get there. It's not It's just it's like 992 00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:20.800 eighty nine cent coffee and you're like, all right, cool. 993 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:23.239 Uh. 994 00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:26.639 But you know. The biggest travesty though the whole thing, 995 00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:28.360 was there wasn't a single magic trick. 996 00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:31.639 Do you know what I would have preferred that if that, Yeah, 997 00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:33.960 thirty minutes of Randy Pitchford doing his magic. 998 00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:36.519 Ap Like, just one trick, Randy, that's all I want. 999 00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:40.239 You've had a whole year second side of your home 1000 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:42.599 I know you've been whipping up something magical, and I 1001 00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:43.480 want you to show. 1002 00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:43.639 It to me. 1003 00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.239 I'll make your enthusiasm disappear. 1004 00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:51.199 Oh no, well after Gearbox. 1005 00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.480 Before we move on.

It's like 1028 00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:01.480 eighty for some of stuff they announced. 1029 00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:02.800 Its all on game it was it was twenty seven 1030 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:03.840 of the thirty teams that. 1031 00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:10.079 They show, yeah, like on Game Pass day one, crazy 1032 00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:13.760 like you know that Like it's just that was the 1033 00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:17.119 conference where it's you know, you could argue like there 1034 00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:20.599 have been better Xbox showings where they show you know, 1035 00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:24.159 like bigger, crazier announcements. Maybe you know, they had some 1036 00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:25.960 good ones, but I would say it wasn't anything like 1037 00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:29.719 mind blowing in the in like a you know, like 1038 00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:31.880 some of the most famous like Sony Ones or something 1039 00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:34.679 like that. But just as far as like selling me 1040 00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:37.360 on like making me feel good about like owning an Xbox. 1041 00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:39.079 Like I came out of that being like, damn, I 1042 00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:41.880 feel I'm I'm glad I own an Xbox because there's 1043 00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:44.960 a lot of really cool stuff coming out for it. 1044 00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:45.920 Yeah. 1045 00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:47.719 How did you guys feel about this one overall? 1046 00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:47.840 What? 1047 00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:50.239 What was the big stuff that like excited you? 1048 00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:53.199 I think I think the way they bookend it was 1049 00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:56.119 really interesting because this is this year they're doing. They 1050 00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:58.519 did it Xbox plus Bethesda, which I don't think is 1051 00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:00.960 really gonna last necessarily next year. I think this was 1052 00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:04.159 in my in my read of the situation, it's like 1053 00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:06.239 this was a welcome aboard Bethesda, We're gonna do it 1054 00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:09.039 up big for you kind of thing. Yeah, but they 1055 00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:13.119 bookend it with Bethesda, not not even with Microsoft, you know, uh, 1056 00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:15.679 first party stuff outside of Bethesda. It was it was 1057 00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:17.840 booking it with Starfield, and then at the end was Redfall, 1058 00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:20.800 and then like Halo was sort of like the the 1059 00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:23.480 intermission in the middle where they were which is not 1060 00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:25.079 what I would have expected. I would have expected Halo 1061 00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:26.639 to be like the big like we're gonna vote devoting 1062 00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:28.559 the last thirty minutes to Halo, but they didn't really 1063 00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:28.760 do that. 1064 00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:31.639 Yeah, I was speaking of Halo. How'd you guys feel about, 1065 00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:33.559 like Ben that multiplayer trailer? 1066 00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:37.320 I finally got to watch it, but to they it's 1067 00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:40.719 it's real good. I'm actually really excited to play it. 1068 00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:45.679 I like how between because they also had the Battlefield 1069 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:49.480 stuff getting shown now and Halo, Like both of those 1070 00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:51.599 games seem to kind of be embracing the more like 1071 00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:55.159 over the top silly side of like their multiplayer and 1072 00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:57.119 I'm really into that. Like it was all through the 1073 00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:00.559 Battlefield trailer, but just like the Halo one where they're 1074 00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:03.880 doing like the crazy like physics like grabbing things with 1075 00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:07.239 the grappling hook or like blowing up rocket launchers across 1076 00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:08.800 the room with the energy sword and grabbing it out 1077 00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:11.719 of the air, like just doing all sorts of crazy stuff. 1078 00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:15.320 Cars they put the flipping announcer in there. He was 1079 00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:18.679 like yell doing his thing. He was yelling like kill tacular, 1080 00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:22.559 like like threw a grenade at someone. It felt it 1081 00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:25.280 felt like a montage of watching a bunch of people 1082 00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:27.199 playing like on a Saturday night, having a really good 1083 00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:28.679 time and I loved. 1084 00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:30.239 It on that. 1085 00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:33.519 On the same topic of like the grapple like that, 1086 00:52:33.519 --> 00:52:35.360 that is definitely a reoccurring. 1087 00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:36.400 Theme now with these new games coming out. 1088 00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:38.719 I mean you saw that the new Battlefield trailer as well, 1089 00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:42.280 there's that new grapple and actually, I think if I 1090 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.639 remember correctly, both the scenes did a grapple into a slide, 1091 00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:48.760 So like that's like the new mechanic. Now they're just 1092 00:52:48.760 --> 00:52:50.000 take they're just stealing from titan Fall. 1093 00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:50.639 I don't know, but. 1094 00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.159 They're just the best shooter. 1095 00:52:56.320 --> 00:52:59.320 I mean, people argue that, and I'm on their side honestly. 1096 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.400 Like titan Fall, I didn't play that much, but I 1097 00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:04.159 just the mechanics of that game are just insane and 1098 00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:08.159 they're amazing. So yeah, like I was super hyped with 1099 00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:11.639 the infinite gameplay, like I'm just when I when I 1100 00:53:11.679 --> 00:53:13.599 played four and five, I was just so tired of 1101 00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:15.679 it at that point because I was, you know, two 1102 00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:18.039 and three were like my high high days. I was 1103 00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:20.360 just in that game like you know, twenty four to seven, 1104 00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:23.119 but I really fell off after those couple of last 1105 00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:25.960 iterations and this one this actually looking really good, like 1106 00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:26.880 for real as time. 1107 00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:30.480 So yeah, it feels good to be like excited about 1108 00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:33.280 like a Halo game. I feel like it's been forever. 1109 00:53:33.400 --> 00:53:36.000 And also the fact that it's free to play, I 1110 00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:39.960 think it is like legitimately like cool, like that had that, 1111 00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:41.920 and it's cross play. It's gonna be on PC in 1112 00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:44.920 Xbox Day one, Like there's a lot of potential for that. 1113 00:53:44.920 --> 00:53:47.159 That multiplayer I'm like really into. 1114 00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:49.199 And they didn't show a lot of the campaign, but 1115 00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:51.239 what they did show, actually I mentioned earlier, I'm more 1116 00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:53.840 of like a campaign story focused kind of guy like, 1117 00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:56.800 and I know that Halo is like just beautiful nonsense 1118 00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:59.639 as far as the lore goes, and I'm fine with that, 1119 00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:02.920 but like getting the mood right is really like important 1120 00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:05.440 for me. And when they have like master Chief with 1121 00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:08.800 his gravelly voice saying like the mission changed, it always does, 1122 00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:11.760 you know, they always do. It's like, yeah, all of 1123 00:54:11.760 --> 00:54:13.719 his quotes should feel like it could be carved on 1124 00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:17.760 granted at like a memorial, you know, And like they 1125 00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:20.159 nailed that feeling with the script and I was like, ah, yeah, 1126 00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:21.119 master Chief is back. 1127 00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:25.960 So agreed one hundred percent. Another big one they showed 1128 00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:29.960 coming out this year, Fort's a Horizon five. I have 1129 00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:34.199 not room room. Indeed, I've actually never played a forts 1130 00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:36.440 A game. People always keep telling me to play one, 1131 00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:40.400 because I I'm not a big car racing guy. But 1132 00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:44.320 I my favorite of that genre is Burnout Paradise because 1133 00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:47.280 I just loved rkatie ridiculousness of it, and people are 1134 00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:50.320 always like, oh, dude, if you liked that game, you 1135 00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:52.639 would love the Horizon games. Like they're so good. They're 1136 00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:55.000 so good. I've just like never gotten around of playing it. 1137 00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:57.719 And now it's like, Okay, I got game pass, it's 1138 00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:01.760 day one, let's go. I'm ready. I'm ready to finally 1139 00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:06.480 give this negative branch. But oh yeah, there's some weird. 1140 00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:08.800 Because if you have to actually buy it to get 1141 00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:11.880 it early, a game pass has to wait like everyone else. 1142 00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:14.280 I mean that's fine. 1143 00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:16.039 I don't really yeah, I don't care enough. 1144 00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:18.800 Well, I'm not going to spend eighty dollars or whatever 1145 00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:20.760 it is to get it three days early. 1146 00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:25.920 But yeah, uh, the Horizon series very very very good. 1147 00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:30.519 Uh there's something about just they do a good lot 1148 00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:32.800 or good job of kind of straddling the line of 1149 00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:35.480 like being just Arcadie enough but still kind of feeling 1150 00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:38.400 grounded enough in reality to like give you enough of 1151 00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:41.079 a challenge. But the real thing is like the presentation 1152 00:55:41.199 --> 00:55:44.440 and the music and the feel of everything that you're 1153 00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:48.880 doing just it's it just feels good to drive in 1154 00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:52.559 that game and like not go anywhere. 1155 00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:56.119 Like yeah, I mean, the settings are so beautiful, like 1156 00:55:56.400 --> 00:55:57.920 they're like, oh, this one's based in England, this one's 1157 00:55:57.920 --> 00:56:00.639 based in Mexico, and you're just like, oh, it's it's 1158 00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:04.360 it's like a gorgeous view of England or Mexico or whatever. 1159 00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:05.840 It is. Australia. I think it was one of them, 1160 00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:06.320 but yeah. 1161 00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:09.159 Yeah, three was Australia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, They like 1162 00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.519 really like sell the setting in a way that you're 1163 00:56:11.599 --> 00:56:13.639 just like, oh, man, like I wanna I want to 1164 00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:17.559 hang out in that world and drive around. Very excited 1165 00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:19.559 for that one. Another one. We actually don't have it 1166 00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:22.039 listed here, but they did start off the show with 1167 00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:24.880 the big one that everyone was hoping for, which was Starfield. 1168 00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:29.039 Technically the Washington Post started kicked off, started the show off. 1169 00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:35.119 I feel as somebody who works with embargoes and you 1170 00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:38.400 see a mess publishing, I my heart goes out to 1171 00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:41.920 those poor poor people at the Washington Post. That is 1172 00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:45.559 never fun. I hope, I hope they were they were 1173 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:48.880 okay and it didn't go too badly for them. But yeah, 1174 00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:52.679 Starfield we got a little in engine teaser and a 1175 00:56:52.719 --> 00:57:00.519 release date of eleven eleven of next year. Other than that, 1176 00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:04.400 I feel like we still don't know too much about it. Uh, 1177 00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.039 what do you guys think? Evan? Evan, you you're a 1178 00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:09.960 not Bathesta guy. You've never played a Bethesta game? Are 1179 00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:11.320 you interested in Starfield? 1180 00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:11.400 Like? 1181 00:57:11.440 --> 00:57:12.440 Are you gonna check it out? 1182 00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:12.599 Like? 1183 00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:14.559 Well, let me preface this by saying I'm not a 1184 00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:17.880 Bethesta or an Xbox guy. That's why I've been wuiet here. 1185 00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:19.199 I've never owned an Xbox. 1186 00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:19.639 Uh. 1187 00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:23.079 I was a Nintendo kid, and then when I got older, 1188 00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:25.239 all my friends had PlayStation, so I went to PlayStation. 1189 00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:27.719 So when I look at all these games, like, I 1190 00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:30.599 have played Halo a little bit with friends, but like, 1191 00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:32.760 I have not integrated myself, and I've never played a 1192 00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:35.679 Bethesta game either. So I'm kind of watching the Xbox 1193 00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:38.159 conference and being like, is this enough for me to 1194 00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:41.159 spend five hundred dollars on another console? Because every game 1195 00:57:41.159 --> 00:57:43.519 I would want to play first or third parties usually 1196 00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:46.400 on PlayStation. But I dur just Starfield. I think you 1197 00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:47.760 kind of hit the nail on the head, like we 1198 00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:50.000 don't know anything about it. It was a CG trailer, 1199 00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:53.119 And I also, as a not Bethesda fan, I'm not 1200 00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:55.559 thinking like, oh, yeah, I trust that this because they 1201 00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:57.480 always do this and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 1202 00:57:57.639 --> 00:58:00.280 Like I need to see it in action as. 1203 00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:02.159 Someone who's in no way of the Festa fan, in 1204 00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:04.719 no way someone who's like has full faith in Todd Howard. 1205 00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:07.480 I don't know that many people to do, but I 1206 00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:09.639 I that's where I stand with it, And in same 1207 00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:11.000 with with Red Fall, where it's just like we just 1208 00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:11.800 got to see the trailer. 1209 00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:13.599 So it was like, I guess they'll just right weight 1210 00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:14.480 and yeah. 1211 00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:16.760 Yeah, I think maybe Red Fall, which we'll get into 1212 00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:19.440 a sect. I was like more like yeah, because I'm 1213 00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:22.360 just like into like arcane. It's like I'm into anything. 1214 00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:27.920 I think Bethesda Studios specifically over the years, have they 1215 00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:29.679 need to sell me a little bit more because I'm 1216 00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:31.719 you know, I'm watching this trailer and I'm like, I mean, 1217 00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:33.400 none of these people are clipping through the floor, So 1218 00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:36.920 this isn't obviously representative of the final product. I don't 1219 00:58:36.960 --> 00:58:38.960 know what this game is so I need it. I 1220 00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:42.079 need to see more of the actual game. Yeah, Like 1221 00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:45.519 I mean, you know, like Max, Ben Steve, are you 1222 00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:49.320 guys like interested in Star Starfield at all? 1223 00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:51.280 I'll try it. 1224 00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:54.519 I mean, like it with with the trailer telling us 1225 00:58:54.519 --> 00:58:56.360 so little and just being kind of a moodsetter, it's 1226 00:58:56.440 --> 00:58:58.519 just like, so, are we just supposed to assume that 1227 00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:01.320 it's you know, sky Ribbon space, which has sort of 1228 00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:03.039 been like the shorthand that people have been assuming. I 1229 00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:04.960 don't think they really said that that's what it is, 1230 00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:07.639 but like, is that what we're sort of like assuming 1231 00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:10.159 and we're just supposed to be excited about that? Because 1232 00:59:10.760 --> 00:59:12.599 you know, I'm fine with trying that, but I want 1233 00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:14.199 to I want to be sold a little bit more 1234 00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:15.679 on what the actual thing that. 1235 00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:18.239 You do in it is, right, Yeah, I feel the 1236 00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:20.719 same because that teaser was a couple of years ago. 1237 00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:23.639 Now it's just like basically just a ship in space, right, 1238 00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:25.079 and now we get to kind of see a little 1239 00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:26.840 bit more, and a little bit more is like, Okay, 1240 00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:28.559 that's kind of what I expected off of a teaser 1241 00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:30.599 that saw a couple of years ago. And I just 1242 00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:32.760 need to see the actual gameplay and I think how 1243 00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:36.280 many games has Bethesda made since it's seventy six, because 1244 00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:38.239 that's like that. 1245 00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:39.280 Was the last one they made. 1246 00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:43.840 Things well that was not I was published. 1247 00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:45.400 But that's that was just published by them. That was 1248 00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:46.480 machine machine gun game. 1249 00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:49.360 Yeah, so actually their first proper game after seventy six. 1250 00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:54.880 Yes, although that was also made by like Bethesda Austin. 1251 00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:57.639 I want to say it was it was like the 1252 00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:01.039 the main Bethesta office, I think like kind of oversought, 1253 01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:02.639 but a lot of the production was made by like 1254 01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:05.199 their Austin team. So I think the actual like last 1255 01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:09.400 time the proper Bethesda Maryland studio has made a game 1256 01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:13.800 was Fallout four, so it's been a minute. 1257 01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:18.199 I just hope that engine is properly working. I mean, 1258 01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:21.159 there's obviously gonna be bugs no matter what. Every open game. Sure, 1259 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:24.039 obviously Breath of the Wild, it's it's gonna have bugs too, 1260 01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:26.119 Like every open world game is gonna have problems, but 1261 01:00:26.239 --> 01:00:28.159 like this, they they've got to iron that out. 1262 01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:30.400 Yeah, I mean, you know, Todd Howard claims as much. 1263 01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:33.880 You know that they've they've really uh you know, doubled 1264 01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:36.760 down on engine stuff and you know, improving it. And 1265 01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:40.039 you would hope that that Microsoft money means they can 1266 01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:43.199 throw more quality assurance at it and really get it polished. 1267 01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:47.159 Like I would imagine Microsoft knows of the reputation of 1268 01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:50.480 that stuff and would want to put resources to make 1269 01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:53.159 sure that this game is polished because it's a big 1270 01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:56.079 deal for them. You know, They're they're obviously putting a 1271 01:00:56.079 --> 01:00:59.599 lot of money into Bethesta, So I can't imagine they 1272 01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:03.239 wouldn't want to make sure it is not good at launch. 1273 01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:07.039 Look, yeah, this is the best case scenario for them. 1274 01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:09.119 In space, you can't fall through the ground. 1275 01:01:11.679 --> 01:01:12.239 You just float. 1276 01:01:13.159 --> 01:01:15.960 There's there's your podcast. If you can't in space, you 1277 01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:18.320 can't fall through the ground. I don't know. 1278 01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:22.519 One thing that Struggle has really funny about Starfield is 1279 01:01:23.039 --> 01:01:26.920 the juxtaposition because Microsoft already bought a studio to make 1280 01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:30.239 the Skyrim in Space game and it was called The 1281 01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:35.239 Outer Worlds. And in this presentation they had the Outer 1282 01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:38.320 World's two teaser, which was very like, you know, it's 1283 01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.800 a big crazy space time and corporations have taken over 1284 01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:42.960 everything and it's a it's it's total least like a 1285 01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:46.280 satire of of of you know, corporate culture, you know, 1286 01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:50.280 juxtaposed versus Starfield, which was which is like space mankind 1287 01:01:50.480 --> 01:01:53.960 reach exceeds his grasp, you know, very self serious. 1288 01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:57.880 I mean that trailer specifically was parodying E three trailers 1289 01:01:58.199 --> 01:02:01.199 actually really enjoyed. But it's like funny that you could 1290 01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:04.119 take that exact thing that they're making fun of and 1291 01:02:04.159 --> 01:02:06.480 compare it to the Starfield one, which is playing it 1292 01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:10.159 straight like they've truxta position of that. But I mean, 1293 01:02:10.199 --> 01:02:12.880 you're totally right. It's like, yeah, like it is weird 1294 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:15.880 that they now own like where it's like we bought 1295 01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:18.880 Obsidian because they're the They're the studio that people who 1296 01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:22.280 always say is like the better Bethesda, so we own 1297 01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:24.960 them now, but now we also own Bethesda. So they 1298 01:02:25.039 --> 01:02:27.280 just they said, let's just take the whole pie. We'll 1299 01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:27.719 have it all. 1300 01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:35.880 Yeah yeah, two man, please, I know right, eventually it's 1301 01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:36.559 gotta happen. 1302 01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:38.760 I feel like someone there is gonna be like, guy, 1303 01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:41.199 let's just let's just do this too. Let's do it. 1304 01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:44.159 But I'm actually very excited for Outer Worlds too. I 1305 01:02:44.440 --> 01:02:46.400 really liked that first game, but I do feel like 1306 01:02:46.440 --> 01:02:51.440 that game could have gone further, and so the idea 1307 01:02:51.480 --> 01:02:53.639 of a sequel of like them going maybe bigger with 1308 01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:55.639 it and you know, being able to put more money 1309 01:02:55.639 --> 01:02:58.159 behind it with Microsoft. Like, I'm excited to see what 1310 01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:00.960 that is. But then, yeah, the last big thing they 1311 01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:07.079 showed was Red Fall, which is Arcane Austin's new co 1312 01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:11.519 op based zombie. Not zombie vampire. Vampires are the thing now. 1313 01:03:11.880 --> 01:03:16.760 Vampires are hot. A lot of vampires is yes. I 1314 01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:19.559 mean we kind of mentioned it. It's a CG trailer, 1315 01:03:19.679 --> 01:03:21.519 so it's it's you know, we haven't seen the game. 1316 01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:24.079 It's kind of hard to get too excited, but I'm 1317 01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:27.480 I'm I don't care. I'm excited just because I love 1318 01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:31.400 arcane and I will play anything that studio makes. It 1319 01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:35.599 does not matter do you guys, Are you guys excited 1320 01:03:35.639 --> 01:03:38.079 for this based off the trailer or do you also 1321 01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:39.800 love a arcane. 1322 01:03:40.119 --> 01:03:42.719 I'm hella into it, Like you said, based off it's 1323 01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:45.559 just the fact that we know it's arcane and seeing 1324 01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:47.119 some of the stuff that you see in the trailer, 1325 01:03:47.199 --> 01:03:50.079 like the elevator lift power to go up. I really 1326 01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:52.920 like that. It's clever, it's it's silly. I like the 1327 01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:55.719 banter between all the characters. I love the character designs. 1328 01:03:56.679 --> 01:03:58.079 All the character designs are very good. 1329 01:03:58.159 --> 01:04:01.760 There's something I also love a just kind of like 1330 01:04:01.760 --> 01:04:03.559 like being in a situation where you're like, oh no, 1331 01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:06.000 the world's messed up. We still gotta make jokes though, 1332 01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:08.159 and try to make it the best we can, like 1333 01:04:08.239 --> 01:04:11.159 the oh man, would you ever go back to life 1334 01:04:11.199 --> 01:04:12.840 the way it was? If we had the chance to be, 1335 01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:14.880 Like would I have to pay student loans again? 1336 01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:20.440 And I'm like, ha, that's a good quipes. 1337 01:04:20.840 --> 01:04:23.480 But just like just such such cool characters and I 1338 01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:25.519 don't even know like what their names are, and I 1339 01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:27.320 want to know more and I want to play it. 1340 01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:30.840 And just even through like like the one point where 1341 01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:34.000 they're they're stepping into the room and the front the 1342 01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:36.360 front leading lady like reloads her gun by just floating 1343 01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:40.159 the bullets into it, like just small little things that 1344 01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:42.960 are just there that they they didn't need to do, 1345 01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:45.239 but they did, And I love it. I want to 1346 01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:45.639 play it. 1347 01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:48.519 Yeah, absolutely. I think Arcane just has like a style 1348 01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:53.119 to them where, uh, it's like even even though they 1349 01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:55.119 do different genres, you can just like look at the 1350 01:04:55.679 --> 01:04:57.639 character design, like you said, like the animation, You're just 1351 01:04:57.639 --> 01:05:02.239 like that's an Arcane game and I am curee for it. 1352 01:05:02.320 --> 01:05:04.760 But we got to move on to the rest of 1353 01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:09.239 the three. Next up with Square Enix, who kicked off 1354 01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:11.639 pretty solidly with Guardians of the Galaxy. They showed a 1355 01:05:11.679 --> 01:05:12.159 lot of that. 1356 01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:17.079 I'm miss already personal I've seen it somewhere. Was it 1357 01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:20.119 at Summer game Fest that we already saw the Guardians reveal? 1358 01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:22.599 No? No, no, no, that was actually I believe their 1359 01:05:22.760 --> 01:05:24.400 their full reveal of it. 1360 01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:27.079 I could swear we saw it twice somehow, I don't remember. 1361 01:05:27.199 --> 01:05:29.400 Yeah, direct it the Square show. 1362 01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:34.239 Right, yes, which, Uh, I don't know how that's gonna 1363 01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:35.719 look on the Switch. I mean, I assume it's gonna 1364 01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:41.920 be like streaming, but still, I've actually never tried the 1365 01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:44.119 streaming stuff on switch, so I can't really comment on 1366 01:05:44.599 --> 01:05:44.920 any of that. 1367 01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:46.480 I have not either good or not. 1368 01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:51.159 But Guardians looks looks pretty solid. I like those movies. 1369 01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:54.320 I like that at single player. I think that's cool. 1370 01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:56.159 Like I was kind of a little worried of like, 1371 01:05:56.599 --> 01:06:00.679 was it here it is another four player coat and 1372 01:06:00.719 --> 01:06:03.440 they're like it's single player, and I'm like I'm back in. 1373 01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:07.840 Uh yeah, any of you guys excited for Guardians? No? 1374 01:06:08.239 --> 01:06:14.039 Well, I dang, it is real, just right to it. No, 1375 01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:18.159 I feel conflicted because I love the Spider Man games, 1376 01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:20.360 but I think that's a lot of because Insomniac. That 1377 01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:21.840 has nothing to do with the fact that it's Spider 1378 01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:24.639 Man right where I was so disappointed by the squery 1379 01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:28.480 Nix Avengers game, Like I played the song and like 1380 01:06:28.559 --> 01:06:31.760 that game was, I did not touch the multiplayer much 1381 01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:33.480 at all, So like, I feel like this game's in 1382 01:06:33.480 --> 01:06:35.480 the middle there, Like I don't think it's gonna be 1383 01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:37.480 as bad as the Square Enix title, but I don't 1384 01:06:37.519 --> 01:06:39.639 think it's gonna be as good as Spider Man. And 1385 01:06:39.679 --> 01:06:42.840 I'm like, is there enough there to really get me in? 1386 01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:45.719 So my initial reaction is no, But because Spider Man 1387 01:06:45.800 --> 01:06:48.239 was so good, I'm also like, well maybe, but that's. 1388 01:06:48.039 --> 01:06:50.079 Also mostly Insomniac who was incredible. 1389 01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:53.400 So I don't think I'm gonna get it, but you 1390 01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:55.519 could still prove I guess they could still prove me wrong. 1391 01:06:55.559 --> 01:06:57.360 They can still do something to get me into it. 1392 01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:00.159 Yeah, during half of the reveal, I actually thought just 1393 01:07:00.280 --> 01:07:01.519 was Avengers DLC. 1394 01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:03.159 Like it. 1395 01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:06.719 It has the same exact controls like Star Wars did, 1396 01:07:06.760 --> 01:07:08.840 like a shoulder like a blasting, and the camera went 1397 01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:10.639 right behind his shoulder so we could aim it like 1398 01:07:12.199 --> 01:07:13.760 it looked like it was. I don't know if it's 1399 01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:16.480 in the same engine or what, but it it looks 1400 01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:19.320 kind of closely tied to it maybe or maybe. 1401 01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:21.679 I'm not gonna make the same like stunt double's joke 1402 01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:23.119 that's been made like a million times, but it does 1403 01:07:23.119 --> 01:07:25.480 feel like a little bit off brand just because the 1404 01:07:25.519 --> 01:07:28.480 movie series put those characters on the map for a 1405 01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:30.840 lot of people, like myself included. I'm not being like 1406 01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:34.199 a you know, a hipster about the Guardians, but like 1407 01:07:35.039 --> 01:07:38.079 the James Gunn movies like were so iconic in making 1408 01:07:38.119 --> 01:07:40.760 those characters what they are, and this feels like, oh, 1409 01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:42.760 we're kind of trying to be like that, you know. 1410 01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:45.039 Yeah, that was sort of the big problem that Avengers 1411 01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:47.599 ran into as well, where you're like, oh, look, guys 1412 01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:51.559 like like mom, we want Captain America. It's like we 1413 01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:55.239 have Captain America at home. Like that's what that game 1414 01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:55.920 kind of felt like. 1415 01:07:56.000 --> 01:07:59.079 Yeah, getting the right to the actual actors is probably 1416 01:07:59.159 --> 01:07:59.719 pretty tough. 1417 01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:03.840 Yeah, and I and I'm actually like into the idea 1418 01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:06.000 of like, no, we're going to have our own take 1419 01:08:06.199 --> 01:08:09.360 on these characters. But you do kind of come up 1420 01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:13.000 on that problem of like, you know, everyone's just immediately. 1421 01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:16.640 The thing they like is the movie versions, and so 1422 01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:19.000 you you kind of have to appeal to that to 1423 01:08:19.039 --> 01:08:21.119 some degree, but you still want to make your own thing, 1424 01:08:21.199 --> 01:08:25.479 so you kind of follow this weird in between. Uh yeah, 1425 01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:29.039 I'm I'm curious. I'm kind of with Evan the middle 1426 01:08:29.039 --> 01:08:31.439 of the road. I'm just sort of sad that we're 1427 01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:34.039 not getting We're probably never going to get another day 1428 01:08:34.039 --> 01:08:35.279 a sex at this point. 1429 01:08:36.079 --> 01:08:38.560 I like the idea though, that your star lord and 1430 01:08:38.560 --> 01:08:40.800 that the Guardians are like your special moves. Like it's 1431 01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:44.840 not it's not like you're swapping between characters or anything 1432 01:08:44.840 --> 01:08:46.560 like that. It's like, no, you're the leader of this 1433 01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:48.880 group and you get to call you know, like when 1434 01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:52.079 you need Dracs to to wreck some shit like you 1435 01:08:52.079 --> 01:08:54.039 you hate, say hey Drax. You know. 1436 01:08:55.479 --> 01:08:59.359 Yeah. So yeah, started off kind of you know, solid, 1437 01:08:59.439 --> 01:09:01.319 but I think sort of mixed depending on how you 1438 01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:04.279 feel about Guardians. But after that, I don't know about you, guys, 1439 01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:06.520 I thought it kind of just went went a little 1440 01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:09.880 downhill from there. They showed a lot of Final Fantasy stuff. 1441 01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:16.000 They had that Pixel Perfect collection or they said where 1442 01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:18.399 they said, hey, guys, you know all those mobile versions 1443 01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:20.479 that you all hate. Don't worry, we're doing it right 1444 01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:24.680 this time. Except then people did screenshot comparisons and said, hey, 1445 01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:27.720 they're still not doing it right. The sprites are still 1446 01:09:27.880 --> 01:09:31.760 not the same. Why just give us, I feel that police. 1447 01:09:31.800 --> 01:09:33.640 As long as I get rid of those menus, I 1448 01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:36.359 could probably tolerate the sprites. I'm not gonna lie. 1449 01:09:36.439 --> 01:09:40.079 Yeah, it's just weird. It's just weird that, like literally 1450 01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:42.560 all people ask for is like, just give us those 1451 01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:46.439 games exactly how they were on PC, and Square just 1452 01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:50.039 keeps saying no and doing it differently. And I would 1453 01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:52.079 love to know, like what the thinking behind that is, 1454 01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:54.760 because it's like people just want the thing. Just give 1455 01:09:54.800 --> 01:09:56.520 them the thing. It's it's so strange. 1456 01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:59.159 I mean like there's there's another layer to it. I'm 1457 01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:01.479 a pe gamer. I just I'm just like I just 1458 01:10:01.479 --> 01:10:03.880 want all those Final Fantasy games on my switch. Oh yeah, 1459 01:10:03.880 --> 01:10:06.319 and they're like coming out for not switch, we're going 1460 01:10:06.359 --> 01:10:10.000 to release We're not going to release on any gossles 1461 01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:11.560 at all for some reason. 1462 01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:16.680 Uh. And then they followed up that with, uh, we 1463 01:10:16.720 --> 01:10:22.720 have an all caps here chaos chaos control, chaos control 1464 01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:28.760 that I actually did think of that when uh, when 1465 01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:33.720 seeing that trailer, it was what is it Strangers, Uh, 1466 01:10:34.279 --> 01:10:41.000 Paradise Strangers, Paradise in Paradise, Stranger in Paradise, Final Fantasy Origin, 1467 01:10:41.079 --> 01:10:46.359 which is the rumored Team Ninja Dark Souls esque Final 1468 01:10:46.439 --> 01:10:49.159 Fantasy game that takes place in the world a Final 1469 01:10:49.159 --> 01:10:54.079 Fantasy one, and on paper, that sounds awesome. 1470 01:10:55.399 --> 01:10:55.920 Uh. 1471 01:10:56.119 --> 01:11:01.119 What they showed I thought looked pretty bland and uninteresting 1472 01:11:01.279 --> 01:11:05.520 as far as just like the visuals, so it's felt 1473 01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:08.960 ripped out of like two thousand and nine era of 1474 01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:10.279 video games. 1475 01:11:09.960 --> 01:11:12.159 Really quickly, just because I am kind of have to 1476 01:11:12.199 --> 01:11:15.199 look up this up much. Is this like like a 1477 01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:19.239 Final Fantasy one? Like the main character is someone who 1478 01:11:19.239 --> 01:11:20.079 got sucked into it? 1479 01:11:20.159 --> 01:11:22.399 I mean like the boss is Garland. If you're familiar 1480 01:11:22.439 --> 01:11:24.960 with Final Fantasy one, Yeah, the boss is Garland, so like, 1481 01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:28.399 yeah it. The thing that everyone sort of cracked jokes 1482 01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:31.920 about is that the dialogue was pretty horrendous. It was 1483 01:11:32.039 --> 01:11:34.279 very like, I'm here to kill chaos. I hate chaos 1484 01:11:34.279 --> 01:11:37.279 so much to kill chaos. Yeah, like he just kept saying. 1485 01:11:37.319 --> 01:11:40.479 It was very weird. But also even besides that, like 1486 01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:43.520 like you said, John Luke, it the actual gameplay. I 1487 01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:45.479 haven't actually played the dem yet. I haven't downloaded, but 1488 01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:48.960 the gameplay just looks kind of you know, it's everything's 1489 01:11:49.079 --> 01:11:52.239 very gray. Yeah, it doesn't look super visually interesting. 1490 01:11:52.439 --> 01:11:54.000 It did play a little bit the demo last night. 1491 01:11:54.039 --> 01:11:57.960 I didn't finish it, but it's it's okay, you know, 1492 01:11:58.039 --> 01:11:59.479 it's still early access. I don't want to be like 1493 01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:01.560 too harsh it, but it felt it felt solid, but 1494 01:12:01.600 --> 01:12:04.319 it felt like, you know, it felt like a little 1495 01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:06.800 bit like Neo, you know, because a Team Ninja they 1496 01:12:06.840 --> 01:12:10.119 made Neo, and Neo's very good. But just nothing about 1497 01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:14.159 the design and like the visuals I found particularly interesting. 1498 01:12:14.199 --> 01:12:17.760 I mean, the main character is like the most generic 1499 01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:21.119 looking Final Fantasy character I think I've ever seen. He's 1500 01:12:21.199 --> 01:12:27.560 just bulk, bulky, white dude with short hair. Jack, the 1501 01:12:27.560 --> 01:12:29.920 most generic name. Yeah, Like you look at that and 1502 01:12:29.920 --> 01:12:31.119 you're like, that looks like a Jack. 1503 01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:34.760 To be fair, in the days, you had to limit 1504 01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:35.600 your names to four. 1505 01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:38.319 Letter Okay, so it's a non to Bath then probably 1506 01:12:40.840 --> 01:12:43.399 if that was the intent, I would be a little 1507 01:12:43.479 --> 01:12:47.840 more into that. But I mean it was Yeah, I 1508 01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:51.520 don't know about that one. It's it's it's not. 1509 01:12:51.479 --> 01:12:54.560 The coolest Warrior of the Light I've ever seen. Say 1510 01:12:54.640 --> 01:12:55.159 that much. 1511 01:12:56.079 --> 01:13:03.279 I mean, the coolest Warrior of Light is probably your yeah, 1512 01:13:03.479 --> 01:13:06.159 I know him speak speaking of we didn't get any 1513 01:13:06.199 --> 01:13:07.960 of that. I think the real big, final fancy stuff 1514 01:13:07.960 --> 01:13:12.399 people were hoping for, Yeah, sixteen, they didn't show the 1515 01:13:12.479 --> 01:13:13.920 ZIV trailer again, Ben, I'm. 1516 01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:18.720 Sorry, you know, I know the truth, and that's that 1517 01:13:20.079 --> 01:13:22.199 FanFest was the best thing that happened to all E three, 1518 01:13:23.479 --> 01:13:24.760 even though it happened once before. 1519 01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:28.760 All right, guys. So then next up after Square Enix 1520 01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:33.319 was uh, the PC Game Show and Future Game Show. 1521 01:13:33.479 --> 01:13:37.239 I will be fully honest, I I sort of didn't 1522 01:13:37.279 --> 01:13:39.640 didn't pay too much attention to these because I kind 1523 01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:41.479 of was tapping out. I don't know if you guys did, 1524 01:13:41.479 --> 01:13:43.399 If there's any highlights from them, it's a lot of 1525 01:13:43.399 --> 01:13:45.560 indie stuff, which I'll say is sort of just like 1526 01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:47.760 the one big takeaway from this E three was the 1527 01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:50.079 indies just even have a lot of a lot of 1528 01:13:50.079 --> 01:13:52.319 good stuff. I really want to go back and pay 1529 01:13:52.600 --> 01:13:55.840 attention and take some notes on cool indie stuff. Did 1530 01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:58.000 you guys pay attention to these shows and happen to 1531 01:13:58.079 --> 01:13:58.760 see anything cool? 1532 01:14:00.119 --> 01:14:03.600 Not cool? But I think the end of the The 1533 01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:06.319 PC Game Show and and then like the world being 1534 01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:08.319 blown up or Day nine got got. 1535 01:14:08.359 --> 01:14:11.560 Oh yeah, don't they have like their own weird I. 1536 01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:14.079 Think Dan nine might have might have might have died. 1537 01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:16.439 I don't know, Okay, I don't know if that's his 1538 01:14:16.479 --> 01:14:18.119 way of being like I'm done hosting. 1539 01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:20.600 Now or something, but I remember that is that is 1540 01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:23.159 it is that sort of like the how in the 1541 01:14:23.199 --> 01:14:26.880 Devolver one it was like all the other press conferences 1542 01:14:26.920 --> 01:14:30.399 were a pitch video and weren't actually real, you know, 1543 01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:37.479 the storyline that little gig. Well, if we don't have 1544 01:14:37.520 --> 01:14:41.399 anything h to mention, I'll just say that, like, I'm 1545 01:14:41.399 --> 01:14:43.000 definitely gonna go back and look at those shows and 1546 01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:44.520 see if I can find any cool INDI games, because 1547 01:14:44.520 --> 01:14:46.720 I'm sure there was some really great published I know 1548 01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:48.479 that much cool. 1549 01:14:49.039 --> 01:14:49.399 Uh? 1550 01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:52.359 Moving on? Uh? I see I accidentally put you Besoft 1551 01:14:52.439 --> 01:14:55.880 in here twice. Writers Republic, Steve, do you want to 1552 01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:59.239 say anything about Writing's Republic real quick? That we totally didn't. 1553 01:14:59.239 --> 01:15:00.800 I don't think I had I put it in there. 1554 01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:04.600 I was still Ben tell me about Brady. I'm from 1555 01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:07.800 the Midwest, so I saw snowboarding and got really excited. 1556 01:15:08.760 --> 01:15:11.279 Oh hell yeah, so I feel that I'm I'm from 1557 01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:16.560 I'm from Vermont, the home of Burton snowboard. You know, yeah, 1558 01:15:16.600 --> 01:15:17.399 I know what's up with that. 1559 01:15:17.479 --> 01:15:19.199 I just got to get excited whenever I see some 1560 01:15:19.239 --> 01:15:20.960 sort of winter sports things. You don't get a lot 1561 01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:23.720 of winter sports games anymore. 1562 01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:26.439 They had those first person shots of like a bike 1563 01:15:26.520 --> 01:15:28.319 going down like a canyon, and I was like, this 1564 01:15:28.359 --> 01:15:36.079 is giving this is giving me anxiety. 1565 01:15:33.640 --> 01:15:38.119 Going like down this hill, like vertically straight down. Also 1566 01:15:38.199 --> 01:15:43.880 jet packs and wingsuits. It looks like a fun time, 1567 01:15:44.119 --> 01:15:48.600 like I'm down to I'm down to play it. 1568 01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:53.520 Cool, all right, Well, moving on, I put down Capcom 1569 01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:59.199 and Razor. I think we could probably just DLC. Baby, 1570 01:15:59.479 --> 01:16:02.279 that's cool. It Also, did they say they were not 1571 01:16:02.399 --> 01:16:05.199 doing Resident Evil three DLC or something? I saw people 1572 01:16:05.319 --> 01:16:06.279 making fun of that, or. 1573 01:16:06.239 --> 01:16:08.880 I'll be honest, I didn't even catch that there was DLC, 1574 01:16:09.079 --> 01:16:10.960 So to me when I saw everything, I was just like, 1575 01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:13.319 they're literally just telling us that they're glad Resident Evil 1576 01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:19.479 eight came out and then they moved on to Monster Hunter. Yeah, yeah, 1577 01:16:19.800 --> 01:16:21.159 like that's that's what I thought. I was like, what 1578 01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:22.760 are they doing this? 1579 01:16:23.159 --> 01:16:26.159 Yeah? They they they had It was weird because they 1580 01:16:26.319 --> 01:16:29.079 showed a trailer for Monster Hunter Stories, which was also 1581 01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:31.319 at the Summer Games Fest. That one made an appearance 1582 01:16:31.359 --> 01:16:35.159 also multiple places, three or four times. Yeah, and then 1583 01:16:35.279 --> 01:16:38.840 they actually like played it on Nintendo during Treehouse, which 1584 01:16:38.880 --> 01:16:41.000 was cool, but it was like it felt very much like, oh, 1585 01:16:41.039 --> 01:16:43.800 we already gave Nintendo all that stuff, so we don't 1586 01:16:43.800 --> 01:16:45.520 really have anything to. 1587 01:16:45.079 --> 01:16:47.800 Share abo of the monsters. 1588 01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:53.039 I mean, you know, I like Monster, I don't give 1589 01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:56.199 so why don't we just move on to the to 1590 01:16:56.279 --> 01:17:01.640 the the last big one, which is of course Nintendo. Evan, 1591 01:17:02.520 --> 01:17:03.840 tell me about Super monkey Ball. 1592 01:17:04.399 --> 01:17:06.800 All right, Okay, here's the deal, right. 1593 01:17:07.319 --> 01:17:09.720 I love, I love, love love. 1594 01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:12.159 The first two Super monkey Ball games on GameCube some 1595 01:17:12.199 --> 01:17:13.640 of my favorite games as a kid. 1596 01:17:13.880 --> 01:17:15.960 Poured countless hours into those games, and. 1597 01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:18.399 All I've wanted for years is for those games to 1598 01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:22.560 be available on modern platforms. Unfortunately, every monkey Ball after 1599 01:17:22.560 --> 01:17:24.960 those games just really wasn't as good. And when they 1600 01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:27.199 decided to do Banana Blitz as like the game on 1601 01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:31.279 modern platforms first, I was extremely disappointed. So now that 1602 01:17:31.359 --> 01:17:34.079 they're coming out and they're giving us the first two 1603 01:17:34.119 --> 01:17:36.279 games remade, I don't know how it's going to play 1604 01:17:36.359 --> 01:17:38.640 with the new art style and potentially physics engine but 1605 01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:42.000 just the fact that they're doing it makes me extremely excited. 1606 01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:44.800 And I think part of it too, is like Nintendo 1607 01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:47.560 has never given a way to give like GameCube virtual console, right, 1608 01:17:47.600 --> 01:17:49.439 that has never existed, So monkey Ball has just been 1609 01:17:49.479 --> 01:17:50.840 trapped on the GameCube for so long. 1610 01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:52.159 I'm so excited. 1611 01:17:52.199 --> 01:17:54.720 I'm so excited just to have those games, like I 1612 01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:56.720 can play it portably on the switch. That's another really 1613 01:17:56.760 --> 01:17:58.479 exciting thing too, Right, you can take those games on 1614 01:17:58.520 --> 01:17:58.680 the go. 1615 01:17:58.880 --> 01:18:00.600 I was gonna say, we can play money he Target 1616 01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:03.720 any time anywhere, and that's. 1617 01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:05.279 My My dad and I played Monkey Billiards a lot, 1618 01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:07.000 and I'm excited. 1619 01:18:06.680 --> 01:18:07.479 To try that again. 1620 01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:10.720 I uh, just to me like that also just came 1621 01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:12.479 out of nowhere, because I was like, not that I 1622 01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:14.159 had no faith in monkey Ball, but I was kind 1623 01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:15.960 of like, you know, they go Banana blitz HD. I 1624 01:18:16.000 --> 01:18:17.600 thought they'd make a new game after that, but they're 1625 01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:20.279 remaking the first two. Like that came out of nowhere. 1626 01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:24.439 I'm so excited for that. I've that's yeah, I'm so excited. 1627 01:18:24.840 --> 01:18:28.079 My prediction coming into E three was I wanted Crazy 1628 01:18:28.119 --> 01:18:31.560 Taxi four. This is like like a second slot underneath it. 1629 01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:34.520 Getting these monkey Ball games again, because like I said, 1630 01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:36.720 they're stuck on the GameCube. The only thing I need 1631 01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:38.159 to hear now is that they put Cure you Work 1632 01:18:38.239 --> 01:18:41.479 Moduma into one of the balls as a special character. 1633 01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:43.199 Well. Actually, I don't know if you saw. 1634 01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:45.479 Apparently, like if you go through like the files on 1635 01:18:45.479 --> 01:18:47.560 the website or something, apparently they're putting Sonic and Tails 1636 01:18:47.600 --> 01:18:49.399 in balls so you can play Sonic and Tails. 1637 01:18:49.439 --> 01:18:51.560 I like that. They're cool. 1638 01:18:51.760 --> 01:18:53.359 It's just gonna be like a mini smash bro. 1639 01:18:53.479 --> 01:18:57.600 Let's just step in the direction. These are definitely characters 1640 01:18:57.600 --> 01:19:00.600 from Sego. But what if we got those predy, dirty 1641 01:19:00.680 --> 01:19:03.640 yakas of boys. 1642 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:06.359 I I only learned. 1643 01:19:06.399 --> 01:19:07.720 I mean I knew this for a few months, but 1644 01:19:07.800 --> 01:19:10.199 like the guy who made Yakas is the same dude 1645 01:19:10.199 --> 01:19:14.039 who made monkey Balls. Yeah, that blew my mind a 1646 01:19:14.079 --> 01:19:15.239 little bit because I was like, wait a minute, I 1647 01:19:15.279 --> 01:19:18.680 love monkey Ball as a kid, and now I love crazy. 1648 01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:21.760 I didn't know that, but that makes a lot. 1649 01:19:21.680 --> 01:19:25.920 Of There have been in references in Yakaa games to 1650 01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:26.399 Monkey Ball. 1651 01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:28.680 You can get in the claw machines. You can get 1652 01:19:28.720 --> 01:19:31.439 all of the monkeys as stuffed animals. 1653 01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:32.800 Yes. 1654 01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:36.079 Oh, and also I think I think RGG is the 1655 01:19:36.119 --> 01:19:39.079 one doing Banana Mania. I don't know who did the 1656 01:19:39.680 --> 01:19:41.560 other monkey Ball games, but I believe RGG is the 1657 01:19:41.560 --> 01:19:43.600 one that's doing Bananamana, which is also exciting because I 1658 01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:44.079 trust them. 1659 01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:47.479 Heck, yeah, RGG is doing a bunch of games. They're 1660 01:19:47.479 --> 01:19:50.600 doing that. When the Olympics one as well, which also 1661 01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:54.199 has a man dressed as Sonic. Yeah, they did the 1662 01:19:54.279 --> 01:19:57.439 Virtual Fighter one. That's just they're like Sega's like tapping 1663 01:19:57.479 --> 01:19:59.960 them to do a bunch of like parts and remass, 1664 01:20:00.199 --> 01:20:02.960 which is interesting. Yeah, super monkey Ball. I'm excited for 1665 01:20:03.000 --> 01:20:07.000 that because I've actually actually never played monkey Ball, Right. 1666 01:20:08.479 --> 01:20:09.079 Is the way to go? 1667 01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:12.479 Yeah? We should. We should play monkey Target at some point. 1668 01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:17.720 Dude, I am down. Max. Tell me about Breath of 1669 01:20:17.800 --> 01:20:18.159 the Wild. 1670 01:20:18.439 --> 01:20:21.279 Things are happening, Resident Breath of the Wild Expert. 1671 01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:24.119 Well, yeah, we did a lot of breakdowns and whatnot 1672 01:20:24.159 --> 01:20:27.880 in the information, but yeah, I mean, obviously just supporting 1673 01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:30.279 the hype. It wasn't the only problem with this trailer 1674 01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:33.760 was it didn't show exact date. They showed a year, 1675 01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:36.720 It didn't show a title, and they did that specifically 1676 01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:41.600 because the title would have spoiled the gameplay or spoiled 1677 01:20:41.600 --> 01:20:44.439 some aspects of the game, so they specifically hid that 1678 01:20:44.479 --> 01:20:47.680 so they would My guess is it has something to 1679 01:20:47.680 --> 01:20:51.359 do with time, so reversal a time, you know, back 1680 01:20:51.399 --> 01:20:53.319 in time, back to the future, whatever. I don't know, 1681 01:20:53.439 --> 01:20:58.119 but something something like that, because they're like multiple subtle 1682 01:20:58.199 --> 01:20:59.880 hints even from the first one that kind of carry 1683 01:20:59.880 --> 01:21:01.840 out to a second trailer that you know, like all 1684 01:21:01.880 --> 01:21:04.560 the music notes or basswords, he has a time reversing power, 1685 01:21:04.640 --> 01:21:07.159 the water droplets reversing going upwards in time, like all 1686 01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:09.800 these things are just kind of amounting to something that 1687 01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:12.279 we're you know, has something to do with time. So 1688 01:21:13.199 --> 01:21:15.960 obviously something to do with that. But besides that, like 1689 01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:18.479 you know, the two versions of Link is really intriguing. 1690 01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:23.760 They get like there's there's so many different parts that 1691 01:21:23.800 --> 01:21:27.000 they have not stitched together in these trailers that it's 1692 01:21:27.039 --> 01:21:29.000 really hard to put things together, and like that's why 1693 01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:32.479 game theorists and and Zelda theorists are just like kind 1694 01:21:32.479 --> 01:21:34.199 of making all these crazy theories up. 1695 01:21:34.319 --> 01:21:36.199 There's really nothing concrete that you can make from this. 1696 01:21:36.399 --> 01:21:38.479 So I guess it did a good job of, you know, 1697 01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:40.960 making a teaser trailer, because this is definitely a teaser 1698 01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:41.479 if anything. 1699 01:21:41.520 --> 01:21:45.039 But uh yeah, just just huge hype for sure. 1700 01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:47.399 Yeah, do we feel like the dream of getting to 1701 01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:49.560 play as Zelda is dashed? I mean when they showed 1702 01:21:49.560 --> 01:21:51.720 her like falling down the cliff, I was like, oh, 1703 01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:55.399 there goes that dead. There was a part of me. 1704 01:21:55.720 --> 01:21:57.880 Now it's a legend of Link. That's that's why they 1705 01:21:57.960 --> 01:22:00.560 hit the trailer. Now Zelda's dead. So it's no, it's 1706 01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:02.840 a legend of Link properly. 1707 01:22:02.600 --> 01:22:04.119 There is a part of me that was like because 1708 01:22:04.119 --> 01:22:06.319 when every time when they were showing after that, they 1709 01:22:06.359 --> 01:22:08.279 were showing like link, it was always from behind, so 1710 01:22:08.319 --> 01:22:10.079 you never quite saw his face and like that could 1711 01:22:10.079 --> 01:22:13.399 be Zelda secretly disguised Link. 1712 01:22:13.520 --> 01:22:18.600 It's a pretty but yeah, I guess, uh yeah, I'm 1713 01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:20.760 this a lot of for sure. Maybe it's like a 1714 01:22:20.920 --> 01:22:22.640 like an older link with like a beard, like a 1715 01:22:22.680 --> 01:22:24.079 future link, you know, and like. 1716 01:22:24.359 --> 01:22:27.399 You know, Tam was mentioning that, and that's already well 1717 01:22:27.479 --> 01:22:29.880 partially dashed. He might have a mustache, but that that 1718 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:31.439 beard theory has gone out the wind because I looked 1719 01:22:31.439 --> 01:22:33.039 at it and you can see a part of his 1720 01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:35.640 chin and his clean damn it. 1721 01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:36.479 But link with the. 1722 01:22:36.479 --> 01:22:38.279 Muttash link with the mustache. 1723 01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:40.079 I mean they also could they have done it and 1724 01:22:40.119 --> 01:22:42.119 trailers in the past of other games and stuff where 1725 01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:45.520 they kind of omitted stuff like you know, photoops, the 1726 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:50.079 mutton chops. Yeah, oh god, like Red Dead stuff. 1727 01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:50.439 Jeez. 1728 01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:55.279 Yeah, it's just lots of excitement. I think what else 1729 01:22:55.359 --> 01:22:58.640 is in that trailer? Oh yeah, the time reverse. I mean, 1730 01:22:58.720 --> 01:23:01.680 like I'm the combat guy, so like that that one 1731 01:23:01.720 --> 01:23:03.359 shot in the trailer is probably what like half of 1732 01:23:03.359 --> 01:23:05.359 my excitement was was a time reverse mechanic and I 1733 01:23:05.359 --> 01:23:07.439 can actually see an action. Yeah, we don't know if 1734 01:23:07.439 --> 01:23:09.439 you like actually can move around while the thing is 1735 01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:12.520 going back in time, because that would just be you know, 1736 01:23:12.960 --> 01:23:17.359 glitch tastic stuff right there. I'm sure as somebody figure 1737 01:23:17.399 --> 01:23:21.439 out some mechanics after that. But yeah, there's lots of ideas, 1738 01:23:21.680 --> 01:23:25.319 not much concrete still after these two these two teasers, 1739 01:23:25.359 --> 01:23:28.359 So the next teaser, it's. 1740 01:23:28.199 --> 01:23:31.880 Still pretty far out though. I mean, like they're some 1741 01:23:31.920 --> 01:23:33.479 people were expecting, like, oh, that's going to be their 1742 01:23:33.479 --> 01:23:35.640 big twenty twenty one game and it's it is not. 1743 01:23:35.920 --> 01:23:38.760 Yeah, so you know, like probably making it for the 1744 01:23:38.800 --> 01:23:41.640 next uh you know, like holiday season as well to 1745 01:23:41.880 --> 01:23:43.840 get that big blowout. So I think I don't think 1746 01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:44.800 it's gonna be early next year. 1747 01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:46.960 Yeah, and I think you know the reason, like I'm 1748 01:23:47.119 --> 01:23:49.479 wasn't particularly excited about that trailer, it's because I feel 1749 01:23:49.479 --> 01:23:51.800 like I'm not super into the way they've just kind 1750 01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:53.479 of given information about this game where it was like 1751 01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:55.920 twenty nineteen happened with a teaser, which is like, oh, 1752 01:23:55.920 --> 01:23:56.479 that's exciting. 1753 01:23:56.479 --> 01:23:58.159 I remember the time because Max and I did breakdown 1754 01:23:58.159 --> 01:23:58.880 of that trailer too. 1755 01:23:59.159 --> 01:24:00.239 We were like, oh, this might be like of a 1756 01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:02.520 Geors mass situation where they're taking like all that development 1757 01:24:02.600 --> 01:24:04.399 kind of breath the wild and just turning it into 1758 01:24:04.399 --> 01:24:07.319 a sequel. Two years of silence, only to come back 1759 01:24:07.359 --> 01:24:10.199 with another cryptic teaser, and I'm in the camp where 1760 01:24:10.199 --> 01:24:12.600 it's like I love Zelda, like whatever, this is like 1761 01:24:12.640 --> 01:24:14.640 I have complete faith that it'll be excellent and I 1762 01:24:14.680 --> 01:24:17.239 will buy at day one, But these cryptic teasers just 1763 01:24:17.279 --> 01:24:20.800 don't do anything for me anymore. I'm just like, h 1764 01:24:20.840 --> 01:24:23.399 you know, like I'm excited for this game, but this trailer, 1765 01:24:23.479 --> 01:24:25.880 You're right, it did just nothing. Yeah, Like I'm excited 1766 01:24:25.920 --> 01:24:28.920 for when we get the official reveal of like yeah, 1767 01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:31.119 the title and like this is the gameplay mechanics and 1768 01:24:31.119 --> 01:24:32.680 this is how it's different from Breath of the Wild. 1769 01:24:33.000 --> 01:24:34.600 The one thing I will say about that trailer that 1770 01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:37.720 is interesting a lot of at least visual connections to 1771 01:24:37.760 --> 01:24:41.479 Skyward Sword. I'm curious if the sky if they're really 1772 01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:44.239 re releasing Skywridsword on Switch for a very specific reason, 1773 01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:46.159 if they were, like, maybe it's a good idea to 1774 01:24:46.159 --> 01:24:48.199 do this so that it connects to this, because I 1775 01:24:48.199 --> 01:24:49.760 think someone said and I kind of like the idea 1776 01:24:49.800 --> 01:24:52.319 of like because Skywardsword is the first thing in the timeline. 1777 01:24:52.359 --> 01:24:54.680 If this time travel thing exists, maybe the sky stuffs 1778 01:24:54.720 --> 01:24:58.159 even before Skyward Sword, and it's like somehow it's the 1779 01:24:58.159 --> 01:24:59.960 both the beginning and end of the timeline. 1780 01:25:03.520 --> 01:25:08.319 Yeah, I was joking, but I mean yeah, like the 1781 01:25:09.159 --> 01:25:10.920 isn't the whole thing that, like Breath of the Wild 1782 01:25:11.079 --> 01:25:13.039 is like all the timelines diverge. 1783 01:25:13.199 --> 01:25:16.439 It's ten years later and all three have converged because 1784 01:25:16.439 --> 01:25:18.399 they're like we give up, like fuck the timeline. 1785 01:25:18.439 --> 01:25:19.159 This is how it ends. 1786 01:25:19.960 --> 01:25:22.399 There's some real like Darsels three ship right there. We're 1787 01:25:22.479 --> 01:25:25.359 like all of time is just colliding in on itself. 1788 01:25:25.439 --> 01:25:27.520 So I mean, yeah, I'm all for it. 1789 01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:30.000 Yeah, I mean I'm I'm I'm hoping that they have 1790 01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:33.479 a bunch of new stuff, because the the worrying thing 1791 01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:36.239 for me personally is like, you know, the Madiros asked 1792 01:25:36.319 --> 01:25:38.920 Major's mask asked to turn around where they have everything 1793 01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:40.920 already ready, They're ready to go, they need to add 1794 01:25:40.960 --> 01:25:43.560 on to it. And the small snippets we saw of 1795 01:25:43.640 --> 01:25:46.720 High Rule are basically the same, pretty much a couple 1796 01:25:46.720 --> 01:25:48.119 of things here, and they're like, okay, what have you 1797 01:25:48.279 --> 01:25:48.840 been doing? 1798 01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:51.439 Like like this looks pretty much. 1799 01:25:51.359 --> 01:25:53.279 The same, Like where's the work going into because the 1800 01:25:53.319 --> 01:25:55.960 islands are you know, fairly small compared to like the 1801 01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:58.439 whole map of High Rules, So like how many of 1802 01:25:58.479 --> 01:26:00.399 these islands are there? How much work is put into 1803 01:26:00.439 --> 01:26:04.159 these islands? Like five years for a couple of islands 1804 01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:06.800 in the sky is not that much. Again, this is 1805 01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:09.159 just a teaser, so there's probably a whole bunch of 1806 01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:12.119 stuff later on, but as of right now, this teaser 1807 01:26:12.479 --> 01:26:15.159 kind of let me down, Like work to time wise 1808 01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:19.760 of world so far, I'm with you there, And it's again, 1809 01:26:19.840 --> 01:26:21.840 give the developers all the time that they need. I 1810 01:26:21.880 --> 01:26:23.600 want them to make the best possible the game they can. 1811 01:26:23.680 --> 01:26:25.760 Give them the benefit of doubt. I just I kind 1812 01:26:25.800 --> 01:26:27.560 of wish it wasn't revealed in twenty nineteen. I think 1813 01:26:27.600 --> 01:26:29.439 that was the biggest thing, where it's like two years later. 1814 01:26:29.479 --> 01:26:31.840 They probably felt some sort of obligation to say something 1815 01:26:32.359 --> 01:26:34.359 when maybe they just really didn't have a lot even 1816 01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:36.880 to show two years later because COVID might have impacted development, 1817 01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:38.319 or maybe they were working on it and they were like, 1818 01:26:38.760 --> 01:26:40.520 what about all these other cool ideas we want to do, 1819 01:26:40.560 --> 01:26:42.119 because I think that's what happened with the original Breath 1820 01:26:42.119 --> 01:26:44.199 the Wil. They're supposed to come out like twenty fourteen, 1821 01:26:44.439 --> 01:26:47.000 and then twenty fifteen, and then twenty sixteen and then 1822 01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:49.199 twenty seventeen, because they kept coming up with even cooler 1823 01:26:49.279 --> 01:26:49.720 things to do. 1824 01:26:50.039 --> 01:26:52.640 So I think the biggest problem was just them. 1825 01:26:52.680 --> 01:26:54.520 They revealed it too early, and maybe they were playing 1826 01:26:54.520 --> 01:26:56.359 to release in twenty twenty all along, but it's just 1827 01:26:56.439 --> 01:26:58.479 unfortunate things work out the way they did in that respect. 1828 01:26:59.319 --> 01:27:03.479 Yeah, But moving on to the other big game that 1829 01:27:03.560 --> 01:27:07.039 they showed was Metroid Dread, which will have to forgive 1830 01:27:07.079 --> 01:27:08.520 me I need a gush about this one because this 1831 01:27:08.560 --> 01:27:11.880 is probably my personal favorite game that they showed here 1832 01:27:11.960 --> 01:27:15.760 at E three because I am a huge fan of 1833 01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:19.600 those like classic two D Metroids. I also a Metroid Prime. 1834 01:27:19.800 --> 01:27:22.199 But I feel like this was the perfect way to 1835 01:27:22.319 --> 01:27:24.279 be like, hey, guys, we know we don't have Metrod 1836 01:27:24.319 --> 01:27:29.359 Prime four. We're sorry, but don't worry. Metroid five it's happening. 1837 01:27:29.840 --> 01:27:33.359 We're bringing it back, because I mean, like the last 1838 01:27:33.760 --> 01:27:37.359 proper two D Metroid was Fusion, which was, oh, I 1839 01:27:37.439 --> 01:27:37.880 was like two. 1840 01:27:37.720 --> 01:27:39.399 Thousand peope, a long time ago. 1841 01:27:39.399 --> 01:27:42.520 It was really long, really long time ago. And that 1842 01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:44.600 was Metroid four, and it was like, that's the last 1843 01:27:44.680 --> 01:27:48.479 in the Metroid timeline, and you know, it was the 1844 01:27:48.640 --> 01:27:52.479 dream of a proper two D Metroid felt dead for 1845 01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:54.640 a while. And then you know, a few years ago 1846 01:27:55.600 --> 01:28:00.319 they did the remake of Samus Metroid two sam As 1847 01:28:00.359 --> 01:28:02.720 Returns and that was a very excellent game, but it 1848 01:28:02.800 --> 01:28:05.399 was also on the three DS, and I feel like 1849 01:28:05.439 --> 01:28:08.319 it didn't get it's due. I still really hope that 1850 01:28:08.359 --> 01:28:10.760 they eventually poort that to the Switch because more people 1851 01:28:10.960 --> 01:28:14.680 should play that game because it's really good. But I'm 1852 01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:16.640 really and and then they were like kind of it. 1853 01:28:17.000 --> 01:28:18.880 So the end of that game actually like teases Fusion, 1854 01:28:18.960 --> 01:28:20.800 which was cool, and there was sort of rumors that 1855 01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:23.760 they were going to maybe remake Fusion next. I like 1856 01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:25.760 that they instead were like, nah, man, let's just go 1857 01:28:25.920 --> 01:28:28.880 right into a sequel, Difusion. We're gonna make five. They're 1858 01:28:28.960 --> 01:28:33.359 carrying over a lot of the mechanics from Returns, the 1859 01:28:33.760 --> 01:28:35.760 kind of the melee stuff and the full three sixty 1860 01:28:35.840 --> 01:28:39.079 aim which I really liked that. I thought it made 1861 01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:42.439 the games like combat feel like fresh and more phonetic 1862 01:28:42.520 --> 01:28:45.800 in a way that Metroid never has. And I am, 1863 01:28:46.359 --> 01:28:48.640 I'm all in. I'm all in on this, Like they're 1864 01:28:48.640 --> 01:28:52.760 they're bringing back sort of the like Stalker Enemy mechanics 1865 01:28:52.920 --> 01:28:55.960 of fusion, they're adding their own stuff to it. Like 1866 01:28:56.119 --> 01:28:58.920 I'm oh, I'm just so, I'm so on board. I'm 1867 01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:01.399 so on board for more met trod Like I'm thank 1868 01:29:01.439 --> 01:29:05.199 you Nintendo for actually caring about Metroid for once. 1869 01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:12.079 They definitely do care because they scrapped that old project, 1870 01:29:12.159 --> 01:29:13.279 though supposedly was bad. 1871 01:29:14.119 --> 01:29:14.319 Yeah. 1872 01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:16.479 Well, I mean that's the other crazy part is that 1873 01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:19.960 it's called Metroid Dread, which is the name of a 1874 01:29:20.119 --> 01:29:22.680 canceled Metroid five that they were working on, like back 1875 01:29:22.720 --> 01:29:24.680 in two thousand and four, two thousand and six. I 1876 01:29:24.760 --> 01:29:27.960 think the fact that they are like they kept the 1877 01:29:28.159 --> 01:29:30.880 name is like, I don't. 1878 01:29:30.880 --> 01:29:33.439 Calling it, that's crazy to calling it Metroid Dread and 1879 01:29:33.560 --> 01:29:36.039 calling it Metroid five. I mean it's both like. 1880 01:29:36.159 --> 01:29:38.039 They know well, I don't know they know what that 1881 01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:38.840 I don't know. 1882 01:29:38.840 --> 01:29:41.079 If you watch the they did like a developer interview 1883 01:29:41.239 --> 01:29:43.680 with like the main creator guy, and he said that 1884 01:29:44.479 --> 01:29:47.640 this is like like the at the the Emmy, like 1885 01:29:47.720 --> 01:29:49.520 the aspect of the thing chasing you with something they 1886 01:29:49.560 --> 01:29:51.840 wanted to do in the original Metroid Dread, but the 1887 01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:54.720 technology wasn't up to par, so they scrapped it. And 1888 01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:56.359 then they tried again a few years later and they 1889 01:29:56.399 --> 01:29:59.520 scrapped it. But then after Mercury Steam did Samwich Returns, 1890 01:29:59.520 --> 01:30:01.279 they were like, let's trust them to do this. So 1891 01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:04.039 in some ways like this is that original project. 1892 01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:09.399 It's not like, yes, which is cool that that that's awesome, 1893 01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:13.239 Like I love that they they were willing to be like, yeah, 1894 01:30:13.239 --> 01:30:15.640 we can, we can finally make this vision a reality. 1895 01:30:15.840 --> 01:30:18.199 We can make that original gain that everyone wanted to make. 1896 01:30:19.079 --> 01:30:21.239 And to go a little bit lornered. I was reading 1897 01:30:21.279 --> 01:30:23.399 a preview right before we started recording from Kevin and 1898 01:30:23.479 --> 01:30:25.520 it's it's embargoed for tomorrow, so by the time this 1899 01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:29.760 comes out, I'll be fine. But uh, but there was 1900 01:30:29.800 --> 01:30:31.800 a part in there that it was it was they 1901 01:30:31.840 --> 01:30:34.079 were They're being very upfront with saying like this, this 1902 01:30:34.239 --> 01:30:37.199 is sort of closing the book on this story that 1903 01:30:37.239 --> 01:30:40.039 we've been following this entire time of Samus like encountering 1904 01:30:40.079 --> 01:30:42.039 the metroids and then having the baby Metroid and then 1905 01:30:42.239 --> 01:30:44.800 interesting that that that through line that's been going through 1906 01:30:45.239 --> 01:30:47.760 and but they haven't really described why and why these 1907 01:30:47.840 --> 01:30:50.039 robots are chasing you. But there was a part in 1908 01:30:50.079 --> 01:30:54.399 there where they talked about these robots were additionally dispatched 1909 01:30:54.439 --> 01:30:57.560 to collect DNA samples, but for some reason now they 1910 01:30:57.600 --> 01:31:02.079 are like bloodthirsty monster robots. And it's like, well, let's see, 1911 01:31:02.159 --> 01:31:05.000 it's called Metroid. It's closing. It's closing sort of the 1912 01:31:05.239 --> 01:31:07.800 book on this whole chapter of this through line of 1913 01:31:08.640 --> 01:31:10.920 metroids being this thing that sort of corrupts the galaxy 1914 01:31:10.960 --> 01:31:13.720 in different ways, and these robots that were dispatched like 1915 01:31:13.840 --> 01:31:18.800 DNA were suddenly corrupted and driven crazy. I'm just really 1916 01:31:18.840 --> 01:31:20.760 interested to see how where that goes and how they 1917 01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:24.119 sort of like close the book on Metroid necessarily being 1918 01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:25.640 about literal metros. 1919 01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:29.399 Yeah, yeah, no, totally, because in the Metroid universe at 1920 01:31:29.439 --> 01:31:31.640 that point, there are no more Metroids. They're all gone 1921 01:31:32.479 --> 01:31:36.720 except for Samus, who actually has metroid DNA in her 1922 01:31:36.880 --> 01:31:41.359 and is like kind of this sort of human metroid hybrid. 1923 01:31:41.680 --> 01:31:43.800 She's kind of turned into that, And like, I like 1924 01:31:43.880 --> 01:31:45.720 that they're carrying that over. Like the suit design kind 1925 01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:47.600 of carries that over, because it's like, oh, the suit 1926 01:31:47.640 --> 01:31:49.920 design is so yeah, they're like they're like evolving the 1927 01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:52.000 fusion suit because the whole thing with the Fusion suit 1928 01:31:52.119 --> 01:31:55.000 was that it was like specifically had to work because 1929 01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:56.960 of her DNA, Like she isn't compatible with her like 1930 01:31:57.000 --> 01:31:59.760 original various suit anymore. And I like that they're carrying 1931 01:31:59.800 --> 01:32:03.840 that over. So yeah, it's like maybe they're attacking her 1932 01:32:03.880 --> 01:32:06.039 because she's got that metroid DNA in her and she's 1933 01:32:06.079 --> 01:32:08.479 the last link to the metroids, and so they're like, 1934 01:32:08.520 --> 01:32:14.159 we gotta eliminate Samus. Yeah, I'm I'm. I think it's 1935 01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:17.079 just so cool that they're they're willing to not just 1936 01:32:17.119 --> 01:32:18.560 like go back to making a two D metro but 1937 01:32:18.560 --> 01:32:20.760 they're like, yeah, we're gonna go back to that original 1938 01:32:21.239 --> 01:32:25.640 like storyline that we you know, stopped like two decades ago. 1939 01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:27.479 I just think that's so cool. 1940 01:32:27.720 --> 01:32:29.680 The only thing that sucks is that you can't play 1941 01:32:29.800 --> 01:32:32.680 Metroid Fusion right now on any modern platforms. 1942 01:32:33.439 --> 01:32:37.239 Yes, that does suck. I agree. They said they were 1943 01:32:37.279 --> 01:32:40.359 going to have like a little bit of a like 1944 01:32:40.439 --> 01:32:42.920 a title card thing that kind of like explains the backstory. 1945 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:48.560 But I agree from a like, hey, Metro Fusion's pretty dope, 1946 01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:51.119 and you should play Metroid Fusion. It's a really good game. 1947 01:32:51.319 --> 01:32:55.039 All those Metro games like like Fusion and Zero Suit 1948 01:32:55.079 --> 01:32:57.159 and you know obviously Super Metro, those games I'll hold 1949 01:32:57.239 --> 01:32:59.840 up extremely well. You can like totally play them, and 1950 01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:02.279 they just they still feel good. They don't feel dated 1951 01:33:02.319 --> 01:33:05.640 at all. So I if you know, if they want 1952 01:33:05.680 --> 01:33:10.439 to put that on the switch somehow, they should do that. 1953 01:33:11.039 --> 01:33:15.000 Game Boy Online right after the Prime the Prime Trilogy question, 1954 01:33:15.039 --> 01:33:15.520 We'll get. 1955 01:33:15.399 --> 01:33:15.680 Right on it. 1956 01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:21.239 But there were some other stuff Nintendo announced. Ben, tell 1957 01:33:21.279 --> 01:33:23.359 me about No More hero It wasn't. 1958 01:33:23.159 --> 01:33:24.920 Even in the show. It was just like a thirty 1959 01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:28.560 minute gameplay thing afterwards. Yeah, no no More Heroes, No 1960 01:33:28.680 --> 01:33:30.479 no More Heroes. But it was there if you wanted 1961 01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:32.199 to find it. But I'm just really excited to have 1962 01:33:32.319 --> 01:33:37.800 more Travis Touchdown. I love that that lovable idiot. The 1963 01:33:37.880 --> 01:33:43.159 combat looks good. It he's got all of his dumb jokes. 1964 01:33:43.560 --> 01:33:45.920 He's he's still doing what he does and he's fighting aliens. 1965 01:33:47.159 --> 01:33:48.880 You should, if you're curious, you should look up that 1966 01:33:49.079 --> 01:33:52.000 the thirty minute walk through and check it out. 1967 01:33:52.159 --> 01:33:55.560 But also, how about instead you tell me about Don 1968 01:33:55.640 --> 01:33:56.000 and Rapa. 1969 01:33:56.159 --> 01:33:59.239 Oh yeah, it's on the switch. Now, everyone go play 1970 01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:00.960 Dog and Rappa. This is just me telling you to 1971 01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:02.560 play games, and I like because they showed up during 1972 01:34:02.600 --> 01:34:04.640 this thing. Play play No More Heroes. It's on the 1973 01:34:04.680 --> 01:34:07.359 PC and the switch. Uh, play Don and rap But 1974 01:34:07.399 --> 01:34:10.960 because now we're getting H one two V three and 1975 01:34:11.079 --> 01:34:13.479 a redo on version of the board game from uh 1976 01:34:13.680 --> 01:34:15.680 from two and take them one from V three. I 1977 01:34:15.760 --> 01:34:19.600 think it's it's from two, but uh, it's It actually 1978 01:34:19.600 --> 01:34:22.560 looks really cool and really fleshed out. But some of 1979 01:34:22.640 --> 01:34:26.000 the best visual novels you can play with moments that 1980 01:34:26.039 --> 01:34:28.640 can only be done in video games and are entirely 1981 01:34:28.720 --> 01:34:32.079 worth all of your time. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll yell. 1982 01:34:33.399 --> 01:34:34.239 Just play them. 1983 01:34:36.000 --> 01:34:37.279 If you like murderous teddy. 1984 01:34:37.119 --> 01:34:39.520 Bears, murder teddy beers, and murderous children. 1985 01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:44.720 Let me tell you I promised Ben and CALLI years ago. 1986 01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:47.199 I'll an shually get down and don rop. I just 1987 01:34:47.279 --> 01:34:49.520 really I would really prefer to play it on switch, 1988 01:34:50.079 --> 01:34:53.159 and you know what, the time has come. I have 1989 01:34:53.319 --> 01:34:55.720 to pay up. I have no choice. 1990 01:34:56.880 --> 01:34:58.760 I think it'll it'll work out really well on the switch. 1991 01:34:58.840 --> 01:34:59.920 It should be a good time. 1992 01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:04.039 But it's very dark. I've only played the first one, 1993 01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:05.000 but I wish I. 1994 01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:06.880 Could talk more about it, but it can't. I don't 1995 01:35:06.920 --> 01:35:09.880 want to spoil anything. It's so good. It's so good. 1996 01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:15.119 Uh, moving on to another big game they showed. They 1997 01:35:15.159 --> 01:35:16.760 showed a lot of actually showed a trailer and then 1998 01:35:16.760 --> 01:35:18.560 they had a lot of gameplay of it. Evan, tell 1999 01:35:18.600 --> 01:35:21.119 me about Shin mccammony Tense five. 2000 01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:26.159 So, yeah, you're another Tokyo Japanese heigho goals scoot. 2001 01:35:26.520 --> 01:35:29.439 Okay, you're another high school. 2002 01:35:29.199 --> 01:35:32.159 Student from Japan and you enter this mysterious world and 2003 01:35:32.239 --> 01:35:35.000 you get this long flowing blue hair and you do 2004 01:35:35.119 --> 01:35:38.279 some turn based on that, and you know, the world 2005 01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:42.800 is really dark and satanic and they're like, hey, you know, sorry, 2006 01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:44.920 we're gonna blow up the world again, and it's like, 2007 01:35:45.039 --> 01:35:46.239 I can. 2008 01:35:46.199 --> 01:35:47.359 You make friends with demons? 2009 01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:51.119 Admittedly I have not looked too much into SMT five 2010 01:35:51.119 --> 01:35:52.359 and I did not get a chance to watch the 2011 01:35:52.399 --> 01:35:56.399 Treehouse segment of it. Oh okay, My only exposure to 2012 01:35:56.680 --> 01:35:59.880 Shimmagami Tense is I played the three remaster when it 2013 01:35:59.920 --> 01:36:01.760 came out recently. I didn't fish it, unfortunately, but I 2014 01:36:01.760 --> 01:36:05.000 play a little bit of that. Honestly, I need to 2015 01:36:05.039 --> 01:36:07.600 look into SMT five more. I think the first thing 2016 01:36:07.640 --> 01:36:10.119 that stock out to me is that, like, I feel 2017 01:36:10.159 --> 01:36:12.720 like it's very hard to go backwards in a post 2018 01:36:12.800 --> 01:36:15.720 Persona five world. Persona five did so many things to 2019 01:36:15.880 --> 01:36:18.880 just make things more engaging, both like in the game 2020 01:36:18.920 --> 01:36:21.159 player visually, and I think that like just seeing it 2021 01:36:21.239 --> 01:36:22.079 go back to just like a. 2022 01:36:22.159 --> 01:36:23.119 Generic looking menu. 2023 01:36:23.520 --> 01:36:25.760 I get that SMT is different from Persona, but I 2024 01:36:25.840 --> 01:36:27.680 was like, I don't know, like something that made Persona 2025 01:36:27.720 --> 01:36:31.359 five so special to me was how just visually exciting 2026 01:36:31.439 --> 01:36:34.319 the gameplay was, like it was turn based combat, but 2027 01:36:34.439 --> 01:36:36.079 it didn't feel like it A lot of the time 2028 01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:37.920 felt like you were really part of the action. So 2029 01:36:38.039 --> 01:36:39.600 to see SMT five just kind of go with a 2030 01:36:39.640 --> 01:36:42.079 basic menustructure felt a little disappointing. 2031 01:36:42.600 --> 01:36:44.720 I know what you mean. It's less like going backwards 2032 01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:46.840 and more like those games just kind of like verged 2033 01:36:46.880 --> 01:36:49.840 into two separate tracks, but on like the Persona track, 2034 01:36:49.960 --> 01:36:53.439 they did make some like pretty significant advancements in terms 2035 01:36:53.479 --> 01:36:55.640 of like just the flow of combat that like, yeah, 2036 01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:59.119 maybe the SMT games haven't quite gotten. It was weird 2037 01:36:59.159 --> 01:37:01.920 because my brother pointed this out to me. A lot 2038 01:37:01.960 --> 01:37:04.439 of the menu design is actually taken straight up from 2039 01:37:05.439 --> 01:37:08.520 shim mcgammay Tense is the sharp Fee game that they did. 2040 01:37:10.800 --> 01:37:13.960 It's like, yeah, the Fireblam crossover game. Like a lot 2041 01:37:14.000 --> 01:37:16.600 of the menu design is just like ripped from that game. 2042 01:37:16.640 --> 01:37:18.079 And I was like, he was like, that's weird, and 2043 01:37:18.159 --> 01:37:20.760 I was like, oh, yeah, that is interesting, Like I 2044 01:37:20.800 --> 01:37:24.840 wonder why they they did that, But I mean I'm 2045 01:37:25.119 --> 01:37:27.800 sold just on like the aesthetic alone, Like I really 2046 01:37:27.960 --> 01:37:31.520 love because it's like you got the all the demons 2047 01:37:31.520 --> 01:37:33.640 from like Persona, but in like Persona where it's like 2048 01:37:33.760 --> 01:37:37.960 very anime looking, this they have that like very like 2049 01:37:38.119 --> 01:37:40.760 detailed texture like shading. It kind of reminds you of 2050 01:37:42.119 --> 01:37:45.319 like a less ugly version of like a what's that 2051 01:37:45.399 --> 01:37:48.000 one game? But jump Force, you know, where like jump 2052 01:37:48.039 --> 01:37:49.640 Force was trying to go for like a hyper real 2053 01:37:50.079 --> 01:37:52.000 anime look, but like bad, Like this is like a 2054 01:37:52.079 --> 01:37:54.000 good version of that right where it's like, oh, okay, 2055 01:37:54.039 --> 01:37:56.319 it's like persona, but it's got this like kind of 2056 01:37:56.359 --> 01:38:01.399 more like textured look to like the demons, and I 2057 01:38:01.560 --> 01:38:04.479 love the just sort of like the desert aesthetic of it. 2058 01:38:05.079 --> 01:38:07.560 I'm with you on the combat where I'm like, it 2059 01:38:07.680 --> 01:38:10.039 doesn't look like it has quite the like, you know, 2060 01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:13.399 flare of a persona, but I mean, I'm willing to 2061 01:38:13.439 --> 01:38:16.079 give it a chance based on you know, they're doing 2062 01:38:16.119 --> 01:38:18.800 all the things right, you still got all the staples 2063 01:38:18.840 --> 01:38:21.720 of the combat, You're talking to demons, you're making deals 2064 01:38:21.800 --> 01:38:25.159 with them to get them. I wanted to like know 2065 01:38:25.279 --> 01:38:27.119 more of the story obviously, like that's probably the big 2066 01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:29.760 selling point. Yeah, heck, I'm all in on. 2067 01:38:31.039 --> 01:38:32.479 I was gonna say I actually put it on the list, 2068 01:38:32.680 --> 01:38:35.319 But I'm just excited for the same reason I'm excited 2069 01:38:35.359 --> 01:38:38.720 for Tales. I feel like I'm ready to like jump 2070 01:38:38.760 --> 01:38:41.199 into all these really cool grpgs I haven't played. I'm 2071 01:38:41.199 --> 01:38:43.640 really excited to play SMT three, and I'm really excited 2072 01:38:43.640 --> 01:38:44.000 to play this. 2073 01:38:44.560 --> 01:38:46.319 What about you, Max? Have you ever played an SMT 2074 01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:47.680 game or have any interest in those? 2075 01:38:48.079 --> 01:38:51.479 I have not, and you know, like my roommates have 2076 01:38:51.680 --> 01:38:54.279 constantly nagged me to keep playing Persona five and I've 2077 01:38:54.359 --> 01:38:57.159 continued to fall off, and I feel terrible because everybody 2078 01:38:57.199 --> 01:38:59.439 loves that game and I just haven't caught on as 2079 01:38:59.479 --> 01:39:01.279 much as I I wanted to into that universe. 2080 01:39:01.359 --> 01:39:03.880 But I think maybe one day I will. 2081 01:39:04.439 --> 01:39:08.079 Just yeah, maybe not maybe not yet, maybe not yet. 2082 01:39:08.680 --> 01:39:12.439 Well maybe maybe five all will be the jumping off point. 2083 01:39:12.479 --> 01:39:15.479 Who knows? Steve tell me about Advance Wars. 2084 01:39:16.000 --> 01:39:20.960 Oh, Advance Wars is great, Moving on Advance Wors. Advanced 2085 01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:23.840 Wars was a you know, a series of turn based 2086 01:39:23.840 --> 01:39:25.920 strategy games on the game Boy Advance. It was it 2087 01:39:26.039 --> 01:39:29.079 was like cute and accessible in a way that a 2088 01:39:29.119 --> 01:39:32.760 lot of other strategy games usually aren't. And it's cool 2089 01:39:32.800 --> 01:39:35.439 that they're they're bringing it back. This is, as far 2090 01:39:35.479 --> 01:39:37.119 as I understand, like a compilation of the first two 2091 01:39:37.199 --> 01:39:40.000 but sort of remade in this new engine. But it's 2092 01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:42.399 really cool that I didn't notice during the presentation, but 2093 01:39:42.439 --> 01:39:44.279 when they had the Treehouse afterwards, I noticed because there 2094 01:39:44.399 --> 01:39:46.800 was more screen time on it. It they're presenting it 2095 01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:50.119 like it's a tabletop board game, like there's there's like 2096 01:39:50.199 --> 01:39:52.199 a wooden border around it, and then that way that 2097 01:39:52.359 --> 01:39:55.000 that's why the little three D models are like sticking 2098 01:39:55.079 --> 01:39:58.520 up out of the board and stuff. I mean, I 2099 01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:01.000 just loved Advanced Wars, and I'll play them again. They'll 2100 01:40:01.000 --> 01:40:02.880 feel new to me because I haven't played them in years, 2101 01:40:03.920 --> 01:40:05.319 So I don't mind that. 2102 01:40:05.359 --> 01:40:09.600 The remakes, Yeah, I've never played in Advanced Wars, but 2103 01:40:09.720 --> 01:40:13.319 I'm I'm very excited too, because everyone just seems like 2104 01:40:13.359 --> 01:40:16.000 everyone was losing their minds over it in a way 2105 01:40:16.079 --> 01:40:17.840 that was just like getting me hecked, Like, oh okay, 2106 01:40:17.960 --> 01:40:20.119 like Advanced Wars, Yeah, let's do it. And you know, 2107 01:40:20.199 --> 01:40:22.079 there's been a lot of really good tactic games over 2108 01:40:22.159 --> 01:40:25.479 the years, kind of had a renaissance for that genre, 2109 01:40:25.520 --> 01:40:27.479 and it feels like those games very much are paying 2110 01:40:27.520 --> 01:40:31.720 homage too, games like Advanced Wars. So and I like 2111 01:40:31.800 --> 01:40:34.119 those games a lot. So I'm looking at this and 2112 01:40:34.159 --> 01:40:35.840 I'm like, yeah, this looks like a lot of fun. 2113 01:40:35.880 --> 01:40:37.680 It looks really cute. I like the art style a lot. 2114 01:40:38.760 --> 01:40:42.000 I'm not too familiar with the original, so I don't 2115 01:40:42.039 --> 01:40:44.720 know like how faithful they are, but I personally was like, yeah, 2116 01:40:44.760 --> 01:40:46.159 this looks looks really. 2117 01:40:46.079 --> 01:40:47.760 Good and it looks like a straight up remake. It's 2118 01:40:47.840 --> 01:40:49.600 very you know, it's the same grid based thing. I'm 2119 01:40:49.600 --> 01:40:51.720 sure it's probably just the same placement of units and everything. 2120 01:40:51.760 --> 01:40:55.000 But the thing that I think Nintendo really excels at 2121 01:40:55.199 --> 01:40:57.800 and this is you know, common knowledge. I'm not saying 2122 01:40:57.800 --> 01:41:00.239 anything groundbreaking here, but but at the time time they 2123 01:41:00.279 --> 01:41:02.000 made Advanced Wars, it was someone new that they would do. 2124 01:41:02.079 --> 01:41:05.840 This is like take this genre that's sort of heady 2125 01:41:05.960 --> 01:41:09.680 and advanced and like for you know, hardcore quote unquote gamers, 2126 01:41:09.760 --> 01:41:12.199 and like just strip it down to the fun parts 2127 01:41:12.239 --> 01:41:14.399 and be like, let's just make it fun and accessible 2128 01:41:14.479 --> 01:41:17.840 and you know, easy to jump into. And that's that's 2129 01:41:17.880 --> 01:41:19.399 what Advanced Wars always felt like to me. It's like 2130 01:41:19.439 --> 01:41:22.640 they took you know, something that's that's really complicated, that's 2131 01:41:22.760 --> 01:41:25.840 that's uh that's hard to get into sometimes, and they 2132 01:41:26.159 --> 01:41:29.119 put this sort of cute, accessible spin on it. All 2133 01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:31.960 of the different heroes have their own like special powers 2134 01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:34.960 that they can access. It's it's just a lot of fun. 2135 01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:37.479 Almost feel like they're like testing the waters with this 2136 01:41:37.600 --> 01:41:39.960 and seeing if they are is more interested in the series. 2137 01:41:40.439 --> 01:41:43.039 Hopefully there is hope can make an actual proper sequel. 2138 01:41:43.079 --> 01:41:48.119 But yeah, uh so, moving on, the last big one 2139 01:41:48.199 --> 01:41:51.680 they had was Warrior Ware, which uh shut I mean 2140 01:41:52.079 --> 01:41:54.800 it's warrior Ware. Hell me a good warrior Ware. 2141 01:41:55.119 --> 01:41:55.319 Yeah. 2142 01:41:56.439 --> 01:41:59.560 I like that they're continuing off of the previous warrior 2143 01:41:59.600 --> 01:42:03.920 Ware where it's Warriors has his own game company and 2144 01:42:04.000 --> 01:42:05.159 he's making his own video. 2145 01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:09.039 Game to make some moneys with his wacky friends. Like what. 2146 01:42:09.319 --> 01:42:11.760 The one thing about this trailer is that they gave 2147 01:42:11.840 --> 01:42:14.560 Warrior Warrio like a paragraph to speak. It was like 2148 01:42:14.640 --> 01:42:17.159 he was giving a ted talk, which is like too 2149 01:42:17.279 --> 01:42:18.560 much dialogue for Warrio. 2150 01:42:19.439 --> 01:42:22.640 The last one it was literally like Warrio being like, 2151 01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:25.680 I gotta get on this video game thing, like you know, 2152 01:42:25.800 --> 01:42:27.439 I got this money to be had here. I kind 2153 01:42:27.439 --> 01:42:29.600 of wish they'd, like, I want them to really lean 2154 01:42:29.680 --> 01:42:32.279 into that, where like Warriors like trying to put micro 2155 01:42:32.399 --> 01:42:34.479 transactions into the game or he's trying to make like 2156 01:42:34.560 --> 01:42:36.319 a live service elements and he's. 2157 01:42:36.199 --> 01:42:39.760 Like he got most box self aware Warrio. 2158 01:42:41.000 --> 01:42:44.359 I wonder if Charles Martiney that was that was probably 2159 01:42:44.359 --> 01:42:46.680 his longest monologue with the Warriors ever done. 2160 01:42:47.479 --> 01:42:48.399 Maybe yeah, it was. 2161 01:42:48.800 --> 01:42:49.359 It was a lot. 2162 01:42:51.119 --> 01:42:55.039 Warrio probably is the most talkative of all the Charles 2163 01:42:55.119 --> 01:42:59.279 Martiney uh Mario characters. I would say he like talks 2164 01:42:59.319 --> 01:43:02.960 a weird amount out in his games. Which is interesting. 2165 01:43:04.640 --> 01:43:08.279 And lastly, I see Evan put it in. Of course, 2166 01:43:08.359 --> 01:43:13.880 the biggest thing from the showcase the game and Watch Zelda, 2167 01:43:14.960 --> 01:43:17.600 which was there, Like they were very upfront about it 2168 01:43:17.640 --> 01:43:20.920 of like, hey, sorry, we don't have any other games 2169 01:43:20.960 --> 01:43:24.239 in development on the switch for the thirtieth anniversary, so 2170 01:43:24.720 --> 01:43:26.319 here's this game and watch thing. 2171 01:43:28.039 --> 01:43:31.159 I So I was this is my fault, but I 2172 01:43:31.600 --> 01:43:35.159 was so convinced Win WAGERHT and Twilight Princess HD was 2173 01:43:35.239 --> 01:43:37.520 gonna happen. I mean, it seemed like such an obvious choice, 2174 01:43:37.560 --> 01:43:39.159 like it's a WU port, It's one of the only 2175 01:43:39.199 --> 01:43:40.239 weuports I haven't. 2176 01:43:40.039 --> 01:43:42.279 Done yet, Like why have they waited so long? Oh? 2177 01:43:42.399 --> 01:43:44.680 Maybe because the thirty fifth anniversary would be the perfect 2178 01:43:44.680 --> 01:43:45.239 place to put it. 2179 01:43:45.560 --> 01:43:46.600 So I was convinced. 2180 01:43:46.640 --> 01:43:48.119 You know, they didn't do it in the February direct. 2181 01:43:48.159 --> 01:43:49.439 I was like, all right, e three, we're gonna get 2182 01:43:49.439 --> 01:43:50.159 a big blowout for. 2183 01:43:50.439 --> 01:43:51.199 Zelda thirty fifth. 2184 01:43:51.199 --> 01:43:53.840 And also after Mario's thirty fifth, I thought a Zelda 2185 01:43:53.920 --> 01:43:56.319 thirty fifth celebration would make a lot of sense. So 2186 01:43:56.840 --> 01:43:59.800 I appreciate that on Numa did just outright say we 2187 01:44:00.079 --> 01:44:02.000 have no plans for any sort of like campaigns or 2188 01:44:02.039 --> 01:44:06.079 any sort of futures, which like thirty fifth anniversary games. Yeah, 2189 01:44:06.119 --> 01:44:08.000 and yeah, I mean the game watched all this, I 2190 01:44:08.039 --> 01:44:10.439 think cute. The interesting thing about it which I like 2191 01:44:10.600 --> 01:44:12.439 is that I think that's the first time they've re 2192 01:44:12.520 --> 01:44:15.359 released the original Links Awakening. Every re release on virtual 2193 01:44:15.399 --> 01:44:17.399 console has been the DX version from the Game Boy Color. 2194 01:44:17.760 --> 01:44:19.520 This is the first time that they're actually relea the 2195 01:44:19.600 --> 01:44:23.119 original game Boy like green version, which I've never played 2196 01:44:23.159 --> 01:44:24.840 because it was only ever available in the original game 2197 01:44:24.840 --> 01:44:27.560 Boy cartridge. So I think that part of it is 2198 01:44:27.600 --> 01:44:30.199 really really cool and I'm definitely gonna get it for 2199 01:44:30.279 --> 01:44:32.680 that reason alone. But yeah, the no thirty fifth stuff, 2200 01:44:32.680 --> 01:44:35.279 I think was was disappointing. And I think, like there's 2201 01:44:35.319 --> 01:44:37.920 so many Nintendo anniversaries this year, and to see Nintendo 2202 01:44:38.319 --> 01:44:40.199 not really acknowledge a lot of them is also a 2203 01:44:40.279 --> 01:44:44.159 little sad, just because I think Nintendo games have such significance, 2204 01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:46.560 Like it's cool that we're getting a new Metroid game, 2205 01:44:47.039 --> 01:44:49.199 but just like no mention of like, hey, you know, 2206 01:44:49.520 --> 01:44:51.399 like this is Metroid's year, and there's also you know, 2207 01:44:51.600 --> 01:44:54.720 Pickman's twentieth, KIDDI Ris the thirty fifth, Donkey Kong's fortieth, 2208 01:44:54.720 --> 01:44:55.880 I mean, Donkey Kong is the one. 2209 01:44:55.800 --> 01:44:58.640 That started at all. I love it he didn't get anything. 2210 01:44:59.760 --> 01:45:06.640 Yeah, yeah, the Nintendo has historically been very selective of 2211 01:45:06.760 --> 01:45:09.199 what they choose to like, you know, because I mean, 2212 01:45:09.239 --> 01:45:11.560 it would have been really easy for them to just say, hey, 2213 01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:16.119 it's Metroids, you know, anniversary Metrod five, Like they could 2214 01:45:16.159 --> 01:45:18.159 have just said that and it would have been like fine, Like, 2215 01:45:18.359 --> 01:45:20.960 but it's weird that they don't even like acknowledge that 2216 01:45:21.439 --> 01:45:25.920 the anniversary is there. Like they they're very, very weirdly 2217 01:45:26.079 --> 01:45:29.079 selective about that stuff. And I understand that, like, you know, 2218 01:45:29.520 --> 01:45:32.880 they have so many properties at this point that all 2219 01:45:33.079 --> 01:45:35.119 and a lot of them have anniversaries in the same 2220 01:45:35.199 --> 01:45:38.840 year that it's like they can't feasibly celebrate them all. 2221 01:45:38.920 --> 01:45:43.520 But it the fact that they're so selective about when 2222 01:45:43.560 --> 01:45:47.039 they do choose to acknowledge an anniversary is like, yeah, 2223 01:45:47.079 --> 01:45:48.720 it's a little off putting. I kind of agree with you. 2224 01:45:48.920 --> 01:45:51.079 It's it's just the effort difference, because like, you know, 2225 01:45:51.520 --> 01:45:53.319 at this point, I feel like Zaula was definitely like 2226 01:45:53.439 --> 01:45:56.359 the redheaded stepchild at this point, Like there's so much 2227 01:45:56.439 --> 01:45:59.880 effort put into the Mario anniversary, like so much merchandise 2228 01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:03.039 and and games and ports and whatnot, and until the god, 2229 01:46:03.159 --> 01:46:03.359 you know. 2230 01:46:03.800 --> 01:46:05.960 High here's this, but Metroid, I mean, Metro is the 2231 01:46:06.039 --> 01:46:11.119 real Metro never got there's that. There's that classic comic 2232 01:46:11.399 --> 01:46:15.039 of of like I think it's like Mario and Link 2233 01:46:15.079 --> 01:46:17.319 being like lifted up and like celebrate their birthdays. And 2234 01:46:17.359 --> 01:46:19.960 then it cuts to like Samus like with like a 2235 01:46:19.960 --> 01:46:21.840 little party popper, and there's like a little baby Metro 2236 01:46:21.880 --> 01:46:24.399 and they have like one little cake, but they're just 2237 01:46:24.399 --> 01:46:26.520 sitting there by themselves, and you're like, oh. 2238 01:46:26.640 --> 01:46:29.800 Everyone's doing better than the Metro zero fans though they 2239 01:46:29.840 --> 01:46:31.520 got to watch Captain Falcon get thrown off. 2240 01:46:33.560 --> 01:46:38.640 Oh I forgot about that. That trailer for for tecond 2241 01:46:38.680 --> 01:46:44.000 Well yeah, and Smash uh so good, so good. 2242 01:46:44.239 --> 01:46:48.000 I mean Smash trailers are just cameo characters murdering and yes. 2243 01:46:50.319 --> 01:46:54.800 Oh it's so good. And then like the and then Kirby, 2244 01:46:54.880 --> 01:46:57.199 the Kirby one, like you knew exactly what was gonna happen, 2245 01:46:57.439 --> 01:47:00.439 Like I was like, Oh, they're gonna kir Gonna everyone 2246 01:47:00.520 --> 01:47:01.640 wants exactly what I wanted. 2247 01:47:01.720 --> 01:47:02.600 Yeah, it's so good. 2248 01:47:02.840 --> 01:47:04.479 The game and watch thing to go back to that 2249 01:47:04.560 --> 01:47:06.800 for just a second, like it's it's it's very silly 2250 01:47:06.920 --> 01:47:09.720 that this thing exists. Like it feels more, it feels 2251 01:47:09.720 --> 01:47:11.399 bigger than the Mario one because it's like, oh, it's 2252 01:47:11.439 --> 01:47:13.279 Mario and the Lost Levels, which is like, okay, those 2253 01:47:13.319 --> 01:47:15.880 are both like fairly short. But like I think I've 2254 01:47:15.920 --> 01:47:20.800 probably bought links Awakening like conservatively like five times in 2255 01:47:20.920 --> 01:47:23.880 my life, like it's one of my favorite Zelda games. 2256 01:47:23.880 --> 01:47:25.439 And I'm like, do I am I gonna buy like 2257 01:47:25.520 --> 01:47:28.600 a dedicated device so that I can like uncomfortably play 2258 01:47:29.159 --> 01:47:33.520 links Awakening again? And the answer is yes, because you bet, 2259 01:47:36.079 --> 01:47:38.520 because that's the Nintendo knows they can count on people 2260 01:47:38.600 --> 01:47:41.399 like me to be like, okay, fine, here's my fifty dollars. 2261 01:47:42.600 --> 01:47:45.920 I also have to imagine that's not a terribly hard 2262 01:47:46.000 --> 01:47:47.720 thing to make either, because it's like. 2263 01:47:48.199 --> 01:47:50.199 You know, they got all like a little emulation. 2264 01:47:50.520 --> 01:47:52.880 Yeah, it's like a little raspberry pie and emulation. They 2265 01:47:52.920 --> 01:47:55.560 already got, like the shells made. They just got to 2266 01:47:55.680 --> 01:47:58.000 change the color. They don't even have to really like 2267 01:47:58.079 --> 01:48:00.439 the screen up that much because of those aims, Like 2268 01:48:00.600 --> 01:48:02.880 that's that's gotta be not to say there's like no 2269 01:48:02.920 --> 01:48:04.760 effort into it. I'm not trying to like diss on that, 2270 01:48:04.880 --> 01:48:07.399 but I imagine that that is a like relatively like 2271 01:48:08.479 --> 01:48:11.680 easy thing for them to put together well in a pinch. 2272 01:48:11.960 --> 01:48:14.680 The interesting thing is, I can't speak for Friday morning 2273 01:48:14.680 --> 01:48:16.279 when this goes up, but like, at least right now 2274 01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:18.439 on Wednesday, you can still pre order that Zelda game 2275 01:48:18.479 --> 01:48:20.560 Watch from every retailer that did not sell out at all, 2276 01:48:20.840 --> 01:48:23.600 but something like the Metroid Special Edition in a heartbeat, 2277 01:48:23.600 --> 01:48:25.439 because they probably didn't make nearly as many, but yeah, 2278 01:48:25.479 --> 01:48:26.720 like in a heartbeat, that was gone. 2279 01:48:27.239 --> 01:48:29.720 Yeah, shout out to Evan for helping me get one. 2280 01:48:29.880 --> 01:48:33.119 By the way, Evan was in the chat like adding 2281 01:48:33.199 --> 01:48:35.039 people who were like, oh, I would really like one. 2282 01:48:35.079 --> 01:48:36.680 He was like at me and at and Jordan like 2283 01:48:36.680 --> 01:48:39.279 all right, go go, go go, it's someone games GameStop and. 2284 01:48:39.279 --> 01:48:39.800 I was like yes. 2285 01:48:40.000 --> 01:48:42.239 Every time as a Nintendo event, I always got to 2286 01:48:42.239 --> 01:48:44.840 turn on notifications for Warrior sixty four and in ten 2287 01:48:44.960 --> 01:48:47.119 deals like all of these Twitter accounts. And then like 2288 01:48:47.199 --> 01:48:50.159 the minute Max and I were literally recording the trailer 2289 01:48:50.199 --> 01:48:52.199 breakdown about the whild too, and I stopped the one 2290 01:48:52.239 --> 01:48:53.680 points like Max, I need a real quick I need 2291 01:48:53.720 --> 01:48:58.399 a pre order recording. Yeah, preorder Metroid Special Edition in 2292 01:48:58.439 --> 01:49:00.039 the Amivo and the game. 2293 01:49:01.159 --> 01:49:02.720 You should have left that in. I would have loved 2294 01:49:02.840 --> 01:49:06.319 like I needed like like you on an URL clicking, 2295 01:49:07.640 --> 01:49:09.880 but you can hear the fumbling of you pulling out your. 2296 01:49:09.880 --> 01:49:12.840 Wallet, like you see. The night before I was smart. 2297 01:49:12.880 --> 01:49:14.720 I put all my address and credit card info in 2298 01:49:14.800 --> 01:49:15.479 all the accounts. 2299 01:49:15.520 --> 01:49:17.520 I deleted them later, but the night before I was like, 2300 01:49:17.520 --> 01:49:18.880 all right, all this information. 2301 01:49:18.560 --> 01:49:20.600 It's the way to do it. Yeah, that's smart, that's smart. 2302 01:49:21.000 --> 01:49:24.319 Evan knows what's up. Well, all right, that was Nintendo 2303 01:49:24.439 --> 01:49:26.479 and that was kind of the last big thing. But 2304 01:49:26.760 --> 01:49:30.079 I do want to quickly highlight our GameSpot play for 2305 01:49:30.159 --> 01:49:32.960 all showcase. That was a special thing that we did 2306 01:49:33.279 --> 01:49:36.800 as a partnership with The Mix. The Mix is a 2307 01:49:37.359 --> 01:49:39.439 organization that we've actually teamed up with for a while, 2308 01:49:39.479 --> 01:49:41.039 I want to say, up to like five years now. 2309 01:49:41.479 --> 01:49:44.159 With E three, we always highlight a bunch of indie 2310 01:49:44.199 --> 01:49:46.760 games that they have partnered with to show off on 2311 01:49:46.840 --> 01:49:49.079 our stage show. So this year we put together like 2312 01:49:49.119 --> 01:49:52.319 an hour long presentation to more. Hussein was heavily involved 2313 01:49:52.359 --> 01:49:54.600 with that in picking them, and it was a combination 2314 01:49:54.680 --> 01:49:58.000 of a bunch of trailers plus two more interviewed the 2315 01:49:58.119 --> 01:50:00.520 dev's talking about it, and it was cool. It was 2316 01:50:00.640 --> 01:50:03.279 it was a fun Uh. It was cool to have 2317 01:50:03.439 --> 01:50:05.720 our own showcase where we got to kind of like, 2318 01:50:06.319 --> 01:50:08.359 you know, have our own presence. We got to show 2319 01:50:08.359 --> 01:50:11.960 off some cool indie games. You know. I really liked 2320 01:50:12.399 --> 01:50:16.840 a few of them. El Paso Elsewhere, which was apparently 2321 01:50:16.960 --> 01:50:20.319 inspired the dev said they were inspired by the Diehard 2322 01:50:20.479 --> 01:50:24.880 video game, which is excellent. I love that. That's so good. 2323 01:50:25.159 --> 01:50:28.279 What a poll. Uh. There was also a suit Pot, 2324 01:50:28.640 --> 01:50:31.399 which is sort of a cooking game that you that's 2325 01:50:31.640 --> 01:50:35.279 all about Filipino food actually, and uh, that's super cool. 2326 01:50:35.279 --> 01:50:40.159 I know Michael was stoked on that one. And then 2327 01:50:40.279 --> 01:50:44.560 of course she Dreams Elsewhere, which is a really really cool, 2328 01:50:45.880 --> 01:50:49.239 uh kind of a trippy RPG inspired by games like 2329 01:50:49.560 --> 01:50:55.359 Earthbound that's coming out that looks fantastic. Michael actually first 2330 01:50:55.399 --> 01:50:58.000 informed about it last year at PAX. He went and 2331 01:50:58.039 --> 01:51:00.159 saw that and was just like talking it up and 2332 01:51:00.159 --> 01:51:01.239 I was like, oh, I got to check this out, 2333 01:51:01.279 --> 01:51:03.760 and everything I've seen about it looks super cool. So 2334 01:51:04.119 --> 01:51:05.720 that was a really cool one to get to show off. 2335 01:51:05.760 --> 01:51:07.760 But yeah, if you haven't had a chance to check 2336 01:51:07.760 --> 01:51:10.399 out that showcase, you should go check that out because 2337 01:51:10.600 --> 01:51:12.600 it was really cool and like Tam got to do 2338 01:51:12.680 --> 01:51:14.239 all these great interviews and we've got to show off 2339 01:51:14.279 --> 01:51:14.720 some games. 2340 01:51:14.800 --> 01:51:17.920 So yeah, yeah, Bright Memory is pretty look cool too, 2341 01:51:17.920 --> 01:51:20.159 because I know that game was pretty much a one 2342 01:51:20.199 --> 01:51:22.880 man team actually was it was one person making that game, 2343 01:51:23.119 --> 01:51:23.840 like many years ago. 2344 01:51:24.039 --> 01:51:24.760 We got taken over. 2345 01:51:24.840 --> 01:51:27.640 And yeah, that game looks pretty cool.
