But first it's gonna 7 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.160 be a good one because we have Sean Turbo Sean 8 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.039 McDowell on the show. 9 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:27.359 Sean, how are you doing? 10 00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:29.640 Where's Zeno? Blade four? 11 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.320 Where are my wife? Woods? 12 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.079 Great work all around, great work by Mike, but even 13 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:40.000 better work by Sean. 14 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:40.759 That's good at it. 15 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:41.560 Thanks. Yeah. 16 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.520 I put out Mike's Metro Prime four rant on our 17 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.159 socials and YouTube shorts, so check it out after this 18 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:48.520 if you haven't seen it. 19 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.320 It's Mike's new character that he's playing. The name of 20 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.719 the character is Mike Manati, and he just it's like, 21 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.840 what's that one guy, the big guy that kind of 22 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.399 like flailed around and screamed about and he was like 23 00:00:59.439 --> 00:00:59.960 pretending to be. 24 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.359 An whatever the way he's doing one of those Mike Manati. 25 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.159 Uh, yeah, he should just do that one of those 26 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.719 a week. We got to keep prodding them. I don't 27 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:10.959 think you could, like if you asked him to fake it. 28 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.599 I don't think we could get him to do so, 29 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:13.920 so we'll have to get him shoot hot. 30 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:14.239 Sean. 31 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.239 Oh, yeah, well, look, I know ways to do that. 32 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.840 I don't Mike's I don't know if Mike's watching right now. 33 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:20.719 We don't. 34 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.840 Look, we don't need to stay on Metro Prime four 35 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.959 for too long. Jeff, you know the one that broke me, 36 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.359 the one that really got me. Oh no, what someone 37 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.000 saying Metroy Prime four is so ugly. It looks like 38 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.920 a switch one game. My dude, what happening? It is 39 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.159 a switch on one game. 40 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:41.799 What's happening? 41 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.319 People are losing their minds, Jeff. 42 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.840 It's bad out there. It's bad out there. This is 43 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:47.719 it's the worst. 44 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.760 It does get worse with games that have been in 45 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.079 development for an extra long time, so people have had 46 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.040 a long time to think about it. And when it 47 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.280 takes that much time, like, well, it should be the 48 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.040 best thing that has ever happened by the time it 49 00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:58.599 comes out. 50 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.719 And we just haven't played this game. 51 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.040 And the people who have said nothing but good thanks, Sean, 52 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.599 there's been good words about from the people who have 53 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.159 actually gotten your hands on this thing. 54 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.680 We're in that weird cross Shend period two where people 55 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.520 were the same way. I remember this about a game 56 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.120 that came on both PS four and PS five, where 57 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.240 they would say, it looks so ugly on PS five, 58 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.159 it looks like a PS four game, just because it 59 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.240 is a PS four game. You know, just magically hit 60 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.680 four K dot exx and suddenly it's it's like you're 61 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.520 not running it on a much lower end system like 62 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.080 you know, for example, an Xbox three sixty squeezed down 63 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.680 into a tablet. Now I'm getting Mike about it. Get 64 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:33.360 we gotta move on. 65 00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.719 I can't help them stay on it for another second. 66 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.199 Think about Metric Prime is and like maybe a lot 67 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.759 of these Metroy venues, if they're so atmospheric that you 68 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.719 probably can't get the real sensation of what it feels 69 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.319 like it feels like to look at until you play 70 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.439 it yourself. I mean that did happen with me with 71 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.719 Silk Song, a two D metroc Venia game. 72 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.400 You can go look at those trailers, but I know 73 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:54.000 what this looks like. 74 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.319 It's like, no, you need all the other elements to 75 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.319 make make the visuals pop. And that's also been true 76 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.039 of Metroid, a very atmospheric game that relies on its 77 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.719 audio design to sort of complete the visual stuff. I'm 78 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.919 just I guess we've been around. We've been doing this 79 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.520 a long enough time with these games to know. Might 80 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.960 go back to my My central point here is there 81 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.639 are a lot of people who have not played the 82 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.639 Metroid Prime games before who are commenting on this game, 83 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.240 and it should be illegal about it. 84 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.360 We can't love Yeah, just you know, I would rather 85 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.840 a company focus on making the core of the gameplay 86 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.560 good and not on a secondary thing that you're not 87 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.439 gonna spend a ton of time and hopefully. 88 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.039 And it's it's retro. I know, like there's probably been 89 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.120 a lot of turnover, but they do. There's a lot 90 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.120 of good artists in Texas working on video games. I 91 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.919 bet they hired some good ones and I bet we're 92 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:46.879 gonna get some real awesome shit to look at in 93 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.479 that game. We'll see, we'll see in December. We should 94 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.919 explain ourselves for Giant Bomb a bunch of a bunch 95 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.199 of dupases who make video game content independently on the Internet, 96 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.280 which is why we need your help.

For all these topics, I'll get the 117 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.079 input of a bona fide expert who will make me 118 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:53.680 look smart. 119 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:55.399 If you were watching live on. 120 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.839 Twitch welcome, you can always listen to the show later 121 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.079 on podcast feeds by searching for Game Mornings, or find 122 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.360 the RSS feed on giant bomb dot com. You can 123 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.759 also catch the show later with chapters and timestamps on YouTube. 124 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:09.879 Hello YouTube. 125 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.399 All right, we have a lot to get into, so 126 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.360 let's start the morning mess with Let's actually start with 127 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.959 this super chat from one freeman Sean love though og 128 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.439 Red and Blue looking to get back into Pokemon video 129 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.560 games for the first time ever Rex for an old 130 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.439 timer finished one hundred and fifty one master set. 131 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.120 If you played Red and Blue back in the day, hey, 132 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.879 playing Pokemon Let's go on the Switch is a good 133 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.199 way to revisit the first generation and Pokemon. It's just 134 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.120 a very well made game. Otherwise, the other Switch games 135 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.519 are totally chill, like. You can play Soor and Shield 136 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.680 or scarletand Violet if you have a Switch too. I 137 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.759 would not recommend Scarland Violet on Switch one, and they 138 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.639 have lots of quality a life things to get you 139 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.800 on there. My personal favorites in the series are Black 140 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.680 and White and Sun and Moon, but those are kind 141 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.120 of harder to get by nowadays. So yeah, the Switch 142 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.800 games are good. I do recommend them. I'm watching Jeff, 143 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.319 I'm sorry not to spend too long this. I've been 144 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.519 waking up early in the morning because over on my 145 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.639 Life in Gaming, Corey on his Twitch channel has been 146 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.560 doing Pokemon Violet as his first ever Pokemon game. Oh 147 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.959 really wow, And it's been really interesting watching someone who's 148 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.920 not really like because you know, my life in gaming, 149 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.319 they don't really get involved in people yelling about video 150 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.279 games on the internet. It is kind of refreshing to 151 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.800 see someone just play something like this for the first 152 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.279 time and say, yeah, this game looks like but but hey, 153 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.240 that gameplay loop that people have been talking about for 154 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:34.639 thirty years, this is pretty fun. 155 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.439 Yeah, cool, that's interesting. 156 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.360 Okay, yeah, I guess I could see because those are 157 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:40.639 guys who are their old school gamers. 158 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:41.800 They've been doing it for a long time. 159 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.519 I was like, I was so excited about Nintendo stuff 160 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.399 that when Red and Blue came out, so I gotta 161 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.000 at least try this. 162 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:48.439 So that's the Pokemon game I played. 163 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.240 But I could easily see a guy in my position, 164 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.759 like those guys were skipping that until now. 165 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.399 That's okay, that's interesting. Well I might check that out. 166 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.600 All right, let's get into this first headline here. The 167 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.439 next God of War game to possibly feature Egyptian setting. 168 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.519 We'll go over like exactly what is being extrapolated from 169 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.800 here here Sean, although I do think this is still 170 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.399 probably right. This is from Alex Hopley at Game Reactor. 171 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.439 We're coming up to, or we're coming up on three 172 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.079 years since the launch of God of War Ragnarok this year. 173 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.120 It feels a lot longer than that, but I guess 174 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.360 it's three years. And while we've heard tell of a 175 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.519 God of War metro Advena arriving sometime soon, that's next year. 176 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.240 The next Staple entry in the series is apparently also 177 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.879 in the works, with Crados ditching his cold Norse surroundings 178 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.160 for a warmer climate. That's if Insider Games Tom Henderson. 179 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:34.480 Is to be believed. 180 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.600 On the latest episode of the Insider Gaming podcast, Henderson 181 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.079 claims that in the next major God of War release, 182 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.480 we'll see Crados return with an Egyptian sword in hand. 183 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.160 This heavily implies Crados will be facing enough against Anubis. 184 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.600 Thought raw, and I don't know if that's how I 185 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.120 said that, thought, yeah, yeah, you're good, okay, and the 186 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.680 like in his next God of War outing. Okay, So 187 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.600 it does sound like they are saying, Hey, the sword 188 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.600 looks like an Egyptian sword, therefore all this other stuff 189 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:04.079 is true. 190 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.439 Now, that is compelling enough for me. 191 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.279 Sean, I'm pretty convinced just by that tiniest piece of evidence. Also, 192 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.240 I think we heard in the past Corey Barlog say, hey, 193 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.720 Egyptian said he would be cool. And then and then 194 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.879 if we were like to go into a room and 195 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.519 we were put in charge of where they should go 196 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.920 next with credos to fight some more gods, I kind 197 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.800 of I mean, if we would get cute, I'm sure 198 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.959 we'd be like, oh, there's some other cultures where it'd 199 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.600 be even cooler to go fight their gods. 200 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:30.680 But I think the. 201 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.159 Safe one, the smart one, the coolest one probably still 202 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.000 is Egyptian settings. So in terms of circumstantial evidence and 203 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.799 sort of just oh it feels right, I'm buying into this. 204 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.039 How are you feeling about it? 205 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:42.879 Yeah, I mean it sounds right to me. 206 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.200 I don't know if Tom is saying that he saw 207 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.519 something about this, or if he's just being coy and 208 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.320 he's like, yeah. 209 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.399 He think he's saying he saw some image with a 210 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:53.840 curved sword. I think is how it is. 211 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.879 Yeah, Oh, I see Gosha gotcha either way. 212 00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.279 They also I forget exactly what I think even in 213 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.600 the First God of War you know, twenty eighteen, the 214 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:08.159 reboot series or whatever, they referred to Egyptian mythology. I 215 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:09.879 think it was like in that scene where you're writing 216 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.080 an elevator up and they're talking for a bit and 217 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.840 there's it's on the walls or something. I believe that's 218 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.759 what it was. But they familiar, They've hinted that that 219 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.960 would be like the next place that they go after 220 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.200 they wrap this portion of the story up. That sounds 221 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.919 right to me. And yeah, you know, Egyptian mythology is 222 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.159 really cool. They got some cool stuff to play with there. 223 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.840 And all my Yu gi oh fans in the audience 224 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.000 know what I'm talking about there where they got some 225 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.720 cool stuff to work with. You Egyptian god cars Chef, 226 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.000 we have a lot to teach you. We have a 227 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.559 lot to teach you. All right, I'm ready to. 228 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.200 Learn, Thank you. 229 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.159 Jan I think that would be a cool setting too, 230 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.440 going to Egypt and seeing what that looks like for them. 231 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.399 I want to see what they would do with it, 232 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.159 because Egypt is a setting that can be done in 233 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.840 an either very interesting way or just it's interpreted as 234 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.559 sand a lot of sand and desert, like, well, it's. 235 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.519 Gonna have a very prime four problem. Where are my 236 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.000 wife foods? 237 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.039 Yeah, there's the right way of doing it, the wrong 238 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.000 way to do it, and I just have Look, I 239 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.679 have such faith in the teams that have been working 240 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.080 on these games that I want to see what that 241 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:20.559 would look. 242 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.000 Like from them. 243 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.759 Yeah, the same they they have seem to have a 244 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.159 real grasp on what they're doing. Okay, if they didn't 245 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.240 do Egypt, where would you want them to go. I 246 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.399 don't even know, Like I look like a chat throughout 247 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.440 Aztec and I'm like, oh, that that would. 248 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.240 Be that could be interesting. 249 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:43.639 Yeah and that yeah, yeah, pretty different setting from uh 250 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.440 more like the European stuff. 251 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:46.399 That would be interesting. 252 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:51.919 I would want them to fight in North America. The 253 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:57.559 Mormon gods go there and take on I can't remember 254 00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.960 the name of any but like go to Jackson, Missouri 255 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.519 with Kredos and just take on that whole pantheon. That 256 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:08.600 would be a good time, actually, North America for Native 257 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.080 American Like eventually, I hope they'd get there. I don't 258 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.000 think they ever would because it just feels like out 259 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.960 of place for Credos, but I would enjoy that either way. Yeah, 260 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.960 people are pointing out the curve to curves or probably 261 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.759 a scimitar. Actually it is the word we're looking for there, 262 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.240 And yeah, I mean you could just I think you 263 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.919 close your eyes, you picture Credos fighting a Nubis like 264 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.440 that just looks right, Honestly, I'm like, I wouldn't suppresed 265 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.519 he's fought a Nubis in like the original three games 266 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.600 for some reason at some point. But yeah, like, well, 267 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.440 we'll probably get some of that in this next game. 268 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.440 In the meantime that that Metroid Vana, the two point 269 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.840 five D one that is going back to the it's 270 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.840 the Greek setting, right that is sounds like it's still 271 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:47.759 coming out next year. 272 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.960 A Cordon said that, like I would know. 273 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.519 I'm like, well, I'm like what the original games were 274 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.360 in the Greek mythology, I always kind of mix it 275 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.840 up with so I was like, it's. 276 00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.840 Greek though, it's Greek, okay. 277 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.519 Yug Horri comments on why they settled on Dragon Quest 278 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.799 seven remake. First, this is for my Nintendo News. The 279 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.360 Dragon Quest producer Eugi horr Is commented on why they 280 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.240 chose to remake Dragon Quest seven before the other beloved 281 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:16.039 entries in the RPG series such as four, five, and six. 282 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.200 Horry says that it was simply a matter of chance 283 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.600 that they settled on seven first. Horri also said that 284 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.639 Dragon Quest seven Reimagined is progressing very smoothly and that 285 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.399 a lot of progress has been made on the game 286 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.679 thus far. A lot of things are moving around, but 287 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.960 it was just done first by chance. As I said, 288 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.360 just now, we want to make them playable on ongoing platforms. 289 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.360 They got the interviewer here, nas Chris says, does that 290 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.799 mean seven is simply progressing smoothly? And then yeah, he 291 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.000 just confirms that, but it's not. I mean, I don't 292 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.720 know what he means by chance. I was like, I 293 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.240 put the story in here because it's like, okay, yeah, 294 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.279 we're gonna get some clarification. It's like, no, I still 295 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.039 don't feel like I understand why you guys went in 296 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.840 this direction. Now when I look at the game, the 297 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.840 sense I get is they want to make sure, like 298 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.080 I think it's this on, we want to make sure 299 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.320 these games work on ongoing platforms, and that means eventually 300 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.120 they're going to do all of them, right, That's what 301 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.519 it sounds like to me. I think all of these 302 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.200 Japanese publishers are looking at Capcom as a playbook, and 303 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:11.960 I think that's right. 304 00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:14.320 I don't disagree with it at all. That's the move. 305 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.799 If you're in that position, though, you might have to 306 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.759 think about it a little strategically, and maybe you do 307 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.960 start with like the lowest hanging fruit, or not the 308 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.440 lowest hanging but the one that needs the most work, 309 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.279 so that when you get to Dragon Quest seven, people 310 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.039 aren't like, oh, that's disappointing. We got all these awesome 311 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:32.360 ones remade, now we're gonna go to the one that 312 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.279 don't love quite as much. It's like, well, let's show 313 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.679 what we can do with seven first, and then they'll 314 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.639 be even more excited when we go back to these 315 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.080 ones that are more beloved. 316 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.039 That's what it sounds like to me. Does that sound 317 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:43.639 right to you? 318 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.360 That sounds right to me as well. 319 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.759 Yeah. I mean, at first glance, you see this headline 320 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.360 and you're like, so they rolled to die. 321 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.000 To figure out whichelonway you mean? 322 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.279 But yeah, I do think it's that of they probably 323 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:59.799 have plans or some concept for each of these games 324 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.919 a remake. Studios do that all the time. They just 325 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.600 throw stuff at the wall. They you know, whiteboard stuff. 326 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.159 They just past stuff out there, start planning things, they 327 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.840 get into early stages of development. So many studios have 328 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.480 so many projects that we'll just never know about because 329 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.879 it didn't get further than someone like having an art 330 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:21.320 board that they started making stuff for. And I think 331 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.639 this is just, Hey, whatever we wanted to do for 332 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.919 each of these older Dragon Quest games, seven is the 333 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.519 one that we had ideas for the most, and so 334 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.679 it's the one that we're progressing with first. And it also, yeah, 335 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.200 like you said, does make sense to do the one 336 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.919 that needs the most love first, because we talked about 337 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.120 this recently with the Resident Evil games, where even the 338 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.840 ones that are seen as lesser in the series, like 339 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.799 five and six, are still playable, are still you know, 340 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.600 even if they have their issues, you can still fire 341 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.519 those up, and it's a relatively modern gaming experience. But 342 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:02.320 something like Code Ronka is or need more attention because 343 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:07.000 they are so rough and technologically, you know, not as advanced. 344 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.159 So I think it's a similar situation here where people 345 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.080 I'm not huge into Dragon Quest, but I know a 346 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.440 lot of people who are, and they all say that Yeah, 347 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.720 seven is the one that I just could not get into. 348 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.120 It's a very rough game. It clearly had some issues 349 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.200 with development or just they tried too many things. And 350 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.840 so I think it's cool that this is the one 351 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:32.519 that they are putting their attention to and saying, what's 352 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.279 the term they use, It's going to be pacier or whatever, which. 353 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.840 Yeah, yeah, got a word, but okay, we'll take It'll 354 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:40.039 mean we know. 355 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.600 What they mean. Yeah, So I think it sounds good 356 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.080 all around. Glad to see them doing this. 357 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.080 Yeah, you know, chats like offering a lot of other 358 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.679 stuff here. Dragon Quest seven is ready first because four 359 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.399 or five, six apparently are a trilogy that all go together. 360 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.200 So it's like, oh, that might require even more work. 361 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.840 That's an interesting point. I buy a seven more standalone. 362 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.559 Another person pointing out Merlin and Chat seven was the 363 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.720 second highest selling PS one game in Japan, so I 364 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.360 don't think it's correct to say it's less beloved. 365 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.720 The Japanese sales do not necessarily reply to how the 366 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.919 rest of the world is about the game. 367 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:15.480 Yah, and that like you got to think about the 368 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.840 history and the context of that release, right that was. 369 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.240 Dragon Quest seven came out several years after six and 370 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.039 six was a super Nintendo game. This was a PlayStation 371 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.480 one game, like a couple of years after Final Fantasy 372 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:29.720 seven happened. I think it was also after Final Fantasy eight. 373 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.639 Dragon Quest was already Dragon Warrior was already beloved in Japan, 374 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.360 or we call it a Dragon Warrior, they're a dragon Quest. 375 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.639 Dragon Quest was already super beloved. 376 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.519 In Japan, so there was a huge amount of anticipation 377 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.559 on top of Final Fantasy seven taking over the world. 378 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.639 So grpgs were at their zenith. That game was always 379 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:46.639 going to sell very well. 380 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.919 It was at the time. 381 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.759 I think people the response to it afterward was like, oh, 382 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.679 it's you know, it kind of drawn out. 383 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.279 It's not exactly what I was looking for. 384 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.960 At the same time, I think people are like ready 385 00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:59.679 for this game to sort of go in and find 386 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.440 all the best stuff of dragon Quest seven and put 387 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:02.960 it forward. 388 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.319 And again, I just think it looks so cool. It's 389 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:06.480 got a really sharpen to it. 390 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.599 Borderlands four patch aims to improve performance on PC. 391 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.240 This is from Ben Lyons at Game Reactor. 392 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.799 Gearbox has already started work on improving the performance of 393 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.960 Borderlands four, I should hope, so following its conflicting launch 394 00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:25.480 where many reported port technical stability, all despite strong debut sales. 395 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.160 Following the recent promise to continuously improve and enhance the game, 396 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.640 now with patch has been released that should improve stability 397 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.480 on PC and squash a few bugs at the same time. 398 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.960 As per what the September eighteen patch fixes. The full 399 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:44.519 notes are stability, gameplay and loot improvements. Stabilities addressed crashes 400 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.240 tied to animation states, audio and collision checks addressed various 401 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.519
