But yeah, that suddenly the 27 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.319 Eagles defense has decided they want to be the best 28 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:29.599 defense in football and I am not. 29 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.879 Yeah, it was, it was, and it was. 30 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.040 It really hit us at a time where the offensive 31 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.719 line has kind of continued to deteriorate just a little 32 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.680 bit each each week, and uh, it really was bad. 33 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.560 I was also very tired, and so I kind of 34 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.640 was falling asleep during the games. I had not I 35 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.599 had not slept since before the start of the of 36 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.200 the marathon because. 37 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:49.760 I we went. 38 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.439 I basically got in bed for half an hour at 39 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.599 Dan's house before I had to leave for the airport, 40 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.079 and then I was traveling all day. 41 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.000 Got home and then and then I could I didn't 42 00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:58.799 want to like fall. 43 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.200 Asleep in the in the middle of the afternoon, and 44 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.959 so it's kind of just doing some stuff around the house. 45 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.760 And it was an evening game. That was That was 46 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:06.599 a good one to fall asleep during. I'll tell you that. 47 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.000 I sure was the defensive struggle perfect no struggles for 48 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.120 you falling asleep on that one. 49 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.520 Definitely not Yeah, absolutely, but yeah that was your team's 50 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.400 looking pretty good looking ready. I mean, listen, I get 51 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.120 the if you have to have a good offense or 52 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:21.840 good defense. 53 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:22.520 I think I know. 54 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.120 Right now which one I'm choosing, and it's a good defense. 55 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.719 So I think you guys will figure out everything else. 56 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.520 On the offense, you still have all the tools. You'll 57 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.000 be just fine. The whole line is still real good. 58 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.240 It's too much drama. The all line can't stay healthy. 59 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.280 But luckily our backups have been stepping up. But the 60 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.400 offense is if I have to hear a J. Brown drama, 61 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.560 I mean, second more, I'm gonna lose my mind. I know. 62 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.639 It's what the ride receivers do. I get it, I know. 63 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.159 And so much of it is fueled by the sports 64 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.879 radio stations in this town, the relics of a bygone 65 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.879 age that they are the drama churning. I can say 66 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.759 a lot, but we're nine and two and you're eight 67 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.759 and two, whatever it is, and you would think that 68 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.680 they're the worst team in football on a Monday morning. 69 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.599 I don't understand. Yeah, that's so. 70 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:06.400 We'll move on real quick. 71 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:06.599 For this. 72 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.680 Everybody but just side that, that's the roughest thing is 73 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.639 the records. You know, the Lions we came in the 74 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.759 season is supposed to be, you know, the top of 75 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:15.879 the class in the NFC. 76 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.960 North Chicago Bears number one in the division. 77 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.800 I'm sorry, buddy, we're buying Green Bay as well. It's 78 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.400 it's it's rough out here. And then see them Black Friday. 79 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:27.639 I think they're Chicago Bears. 80 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.759 Yes, well we will see them.

Yeah? 194 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.399 Yeah, so we might able to make that happen and 195 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.919 talk about whatever games come out of there. There are 196 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.960 twenty twenty six first party games, right, this is a 197 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.440 partner preview, right, so we're right, we shouldn't be expecting 198 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.639 anything from Forts Horizon six, Gears of War, e Eday, 199 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:49.600 Halo Campaign Evolved, or Fable right, correct. 200 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.399 Traditionally these are I have to go back and look 201 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.120 at the last partner preview they did, but I don't 202 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.639 think they go too crazy with other companies, so with 203 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.519 their games, I think it's just stuff that from their 204 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:06.639 third party partners. I would not expect anything nuts. Okay, 205 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.080 So October was October twenty twenty four. The last one. 206 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:09.919 Has it been a year? 207 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.799 It feels like it's been a minute since a partner preview. Wow. 208 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.879 So this one had Alan, Wake to the Lake House, 209 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.399 Animal Well, Blind Fire, Kronos, the Nude On. Yeah, all 210 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.320 third party stuff, Fire Break, Like a Dragon, Pirate Yakaza, 211 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.799 which I sometimes forget exists. I don't know why. I 212 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:31.120 love that game, Fastmophobia, Subnaudica two, so on and so forth. 213 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:32.879 So yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't go. I wouldn't put 214 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.200 too much faith in first party stuff. 215 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.120 Yes, yeah, I certainly wasn't in like chants like it's 216 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:37.879 called partner preview. 217 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.919 Yeah, I get. I just want to point out they 218 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:40.320 have a lot. 219 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.080 Of games coming out next year Microsoft, if if, if 220 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.080 we are to believe that Forts, a Rise at six, 221 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.559 Gears of for e Day, Halo Campaign, Campaign Evolved, and 222 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.480 Fable will all make it out next year. Now, I 223 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:55.000 think we can expect Forts and Gears and Halo Fables, 224 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.159 maybe the question mark still, but that you know, they 225 00:09:58.200 --> 00:09:59.159 canceled a bunch of stuff. 226 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:00.720 They did not cant Soul Fable. 227 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.639 That is something that you know they could have easily 228 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.159 done when they were canceling the Perfect Darks of the world, 229 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.120 so like, you know, we are pretty close to that. 230 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.000 So hey, they had a pretty decent year in terms 231 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.519 of releasing games and supporting game Pass, you know, price 232 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:21.279 increases notwithstanding over there at Xbox. If all these games 233 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.559 come out and they're you know, decent to great, that 234 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.480 they could have another good year of content, right. 235 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.679 Yeah, they could, but it really doesn't matter if they're 236 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.600 going to keep you know, the rest of the pr 237 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.200 nightmare that happens around them, whether it's the continued support 238 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.440 of what's going on overseas or it's the new thing 239 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.000 that I think we'll get into in a little bit 240 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.960 with Black Ops seven and the nice little addition that 241 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.240 nobody asked for going on there. They they can put 242 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.120 out all the content they want, but until they get 243 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.759 their you know, public facing affairs in order, it doesn't 244 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:58.000 really much matter. All right, Well, we'll. 245 00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.440 Continue talking about the yeah, all that's stuff here in 246 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.840 a little bit, and yeah, it's worth plating out. Microsoft 247 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.919 still a target of the BDS boycott call due to 248 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:12.440 their support for what is happening in Gaza that you know, 249 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.840 they've claimed to pull back on that, but the boycott 250 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.399 has not been ended. All right, let's get back into 251 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.320 our regular rundown here. Everyone spent the weekend freaking out 252 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.840 about Metroid Prime four. That previews went up. We did 253 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.200 talk about it on Friday show, so we won't go 254 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.279 over too many of the details of those previews again. 255 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.600 But I was wondering, like, you know, people have maybe 256 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.399 had a weekend to digest this, Jason, maybe you were 257 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.159 paying attention to it, maybe you weren't, Maybe you put 258 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.039 it out of your mind. Kind of I did, certainly, 259 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.639 because I'm like, this is just noise at this point. 260 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.440 None of this sort of like a wrenching of our 261 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.879 garments is going to do much for me when it 262 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.080 comes to whether or not I'm going to enjoy Metroid 263 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.679 Prime four. 264 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:53.840 How are you feeling about all of it? 265 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.159 Specifically, it is this character Miles McKenzie, who is a 266 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.360 bumbling idiot early in the game, and he kind of 267 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.720 also points to Samus and says, hey, there's a puzzle 268 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:03.960 over here. 269 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:05.039 Why didn't you see this thing? 270 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.360 People are worried about that, and I don't necessarily blame them, 271 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.159 but also we haven't played the game, so how. 272 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:11.600 Are you feeling. 273 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.080 That's exactly right. I'm going to quote the venerable some 274 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.600 call me Johnny on Blue Sky, I'm thinking nothing until 275 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.519 I actually play the game. I don't have an opinion. 276 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.759 I wasn't in the previews. I didn't hear it. I 277 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.639 don't know how bad it is. That type of thing 278 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.120 doesn't normally bother me, Like the whole Aloy thing, I 279 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.759 didn't care. Like I grew up with Navi, I grew 280 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.399 up with FEE. I'm used to this stuff, and I 281 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.879 understand why they do it, because they're fighting a war 282 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.279 for attention spans and to keep people's attention focused. You 283 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.559 might sometimes some people just need to think people screaming 284 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.720 what's going on at them. So until I see this dude, 285 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.159 I may like this guy. I may I may hear 286 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.639 his voice, but like, you know what, I kind of 287 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.240 like having this companion. Is it Metroid? No, the whole 288 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.440 point of Metroid is isolation. But if he's adding something 289 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.120 to the game for me, what the hell do I care? 290 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.799 How much? If he's talking a lot, he may point 291 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.600 something out that I would have missed, which I think 292 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:04.679 is a good thing. If I'm going to miss it. 293 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.399 Then if he say, hey, look over there, don't make 294 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:08.960 sure you don't miss that, that could help me in 295 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.759 the long run. Sure, and if he starts out as 296 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.120 a bumbling idiot and maybe he has some sort of 297 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.240 character arc where at the end he's a little more efficient, 298 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.879 that's just one more storytelling vehicle. I don't carell I 299 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.080 see it in front of me. I think the gameplay 300 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:25.440 is more important. I think the experience of the game 301 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.840 is more important. And right now, based on the limited 302 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.799 things I've seen, I'm feeling okay, pretty good. You know, 303 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.600 it's I'm a little a little hesitant, but no, it 304 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.440 doesn't buy that much. 305 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.679 Yeah, I think everything about the way the game looks 306 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:37.720 and plays looks right. 307 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.600 I do get a little. 308 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.360 Bit worried about him pointing out the like missing something, 309 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:49.200 just because that is so antithetical to Metroid for me specifically. 310 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.440 But yeah, I think my thing here is if it's 311 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:56.440 if this is meant to establish a like a set 312 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.360 of verbs for the world, and he's there to help 313 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.519 you like latch onto those early on, and then he 314 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.960 fades into the background, I have no no, I probably 315 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.399 will have no issue with that if they kind of 316 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.879 like have a series of characters that serve that role. 317 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.639 I'll be a little bit like more disappointed. But you know, 318 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.200 maybe I will, I don't know. 319 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:16.440 You're right. I have to play it. I have to 320 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:17.399 play it to find out. 321 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.360 I'm on both sides of this, and then I see 322 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.960 why people are anxious about it. I see why they're 323 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.440 they're worried, especially for a game that has been so 324 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.360 long in the making, and it's been a long time 325 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.879 since Metro a Prime three, So I get it. But 326 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:38.759 there it is also very frustrating to see one tidbit 327 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.840 of the game and then have everyone's imaginations extrapolate that 328 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.679 into something else. I don't think this character is going 329 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.240 to be a novve. I don't think. I don't think 330 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.720 that's how it's going to work. I think he is 331 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.679 there to provide mostly a contrast between Samus and the 332 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.320 kinds of people that are in the Galactic Federation, and 333 00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.960 to be like, this is why Samus's world is, you know, 334 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:01.279 famous across the galaxy. 335 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:02.399 And he even like says that. 336 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.440 At a point in the preview, and he's like everyone 337 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:10.120 knows her and it's because she is this stoic, wordless uh, 338 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.200 just death machine, and and she really feels like that 339 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:18.240 when she stands next to him. So you know, I 340 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.960 have still a lot of faith in retro and the 341 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.679 kinds of people that work there. I know that that 342 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.519 that studio has grown a lot and changed a lot 343 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.480 over the years, but they seem to have a pretty 344 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:27.960 you know. I think the reason they went back and 345 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.679 redid Metroid Prime one was to sort of really refamiliar 346 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.360 refamiliarize themselves with that world and with the character. And 347 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:36.759 I think they're going to try to take as much 348 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.679 of that and put it into this game as possible, 349 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.480 and then we'll see how all these other characters interact 350 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:42.519 with Samu's going forward. 351 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:44.159 It's it's a couple of. 352 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.000 Weeks out right, we're gonna play. We're gonna know for 353 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.080 ourselves here very very soon. 354 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.639 One more thing from chat. It's actually a pretty cool 355 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.919 idea for we're introduced to all these characters and the 356 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.759 reason they stop interacting with you is because they die, 357 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.720 and that creates the isolation at the end. Yes, that's 358 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.320 an interest concept, yep. 359 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:01.720 Yeah. 360 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:05.720 Or like you know, if they are working together and 361 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.679 it's like there is a problem here and it's like 362 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.080 Samu's got brought in by the Galactic Federation and they're 363 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.399 like we need to call in Samus to help us 364 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.120 with this thing and to maybe save these people then, 365 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.519 and then halfway through the game, the GLAC Federation's like, 366 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.960 you know what, we're washing our hands of this. We 367 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.279 don't care anymore, the morality of it, we don't. We 368 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.639 don't care, and Samu's is stuck there on our own 369 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.200 being like, oh great, now I have to do the 370 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.159 right thing. They called me here to do a job 371 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.360 to get paid, and now I feel like I have 372 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:34.200 to see this through because it means something to me. 373 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.000 Now that could be awesome. We'll see. 374 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:37.919 You know. 375 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.679 We are definitely, you know, sort of doing some fantasy 376 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.360 booking here, but that's all we can go on. And 377 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:47.720 really it's fantasy booking versus anxiety sort of taking over. 378 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.200 It's like you can have both a little bit, and 379 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:51.960 I think that's what we're just trying to offset the 380 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.679 balance with here. 381 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:55.039 All right, don't worry. 382 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.840 Resident Evil Requiem won't have PC woes like Monster Hunter 383 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:01.679 Wilds did, according to Capcom. This is from Ed Nightingale 384 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:06.319 at Eurogamer. Capcom is working to ensure Resident Evil Requiem 385 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.880 will perform well on PC following a multitude of technical 386 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:13.759 issues this year with Monster Hunter Wilds. The company has 387 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.079 been heavily criticized for the performance of Wilds through it, 388 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.440 though it acknowledged those issues. A free update is due 389 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.599 on December sixteenth, something players have been waiting for for 390 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.359 the majority of the year. It seems Capcom has learned 391 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.680 its lesson, though, and will ensure that Resident Evil Requiem 392 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.559 won't suffer a similar fate. Resident Evil Requiem differs from 393 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.240 Monster Hunter Wilds in terms of gameplay, systems, architecture, architecture, 394 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.720 and network features, said Capcom during a Q and A 395 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.119 session for its latest earnings report. At president, we do 396 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.279 not anticipate similar risks. We are developing the game to 397 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:50.400 provide a smooth gaming experience across a wide range of 398 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:55.359 PC specifications. It wasn't just Wilds, it was Dragon's Dogma 399 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.960 two as well, and this is like always positioned as 400 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.759 the third game and that development trilogy of them trying 401 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.279 to open up the ORI engine. 402 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:07.599 To do more and more, specifically with open world stuff. 403 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.279 We don't know really if Requiem's gonna have any sort 404 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.240 of open world stuff, or if it does, if it's 405 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:19.319 as like open as something like a Dragon's Dogma two 406 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:24.000 or A or a Monster Hunter Wilds, but certainly the 407 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.599 priority here must have been we need to make sure 408 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.240 that Requiem comes out and does not have the problems 409 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.880 of Wilds, because that has clearly damaged the reputation of 410 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.240 that game, a game that rushed a ten million copies 411 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:38.119 sold and I'm talking about Wilds here and then immediately 412 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.799 fell off a cliff and has stopped selling. Basically, it's yea, 413 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.880 not completely, but effectively it has. Do you think that's like? 414 00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:48.119 As long as this game performs well and is a 415 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.039 good resident evil, right, that's all it needs to do 416 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.079 at this point. If it performs poorly, they will have 417 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.000 issues again, right? 418 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:53.839 Correct? 419 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.559 Now? Correct me if I'm wrong. I didn't play. It 420 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.039 wasn't on my radar. But did Dragon's Dogma two Dragon's 421 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.799 Dogba two have a online co op feature of any kind? 422 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:05.880 I know, yes, I think yes it does, And then 423 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.240 yes because I think I played with Mike, right or 424 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:12.599 is he my little special boy character? 425 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.279 You had Special Boys and there was some co. 426 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.839 Op, thank you, Jan. 427 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.519 So so then to me, the issue is an open world. 428 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.680 It's network right, chest say, It's just it's no co op. 429 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.359 It was just just the pawns. So it's just the 430 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:29.000 special Boys. 431 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.160 It has the summoning thing so you can bring in 432 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.279 your special characters that your friends create and then they 433 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.920 become your pawns and they're controlled, but they're controlled by 434 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.440 the CPU. 435 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.400 All right, go ahead, Jason. 436 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.599 But you still connect to your friends in order to 437 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:46.079 do that, right, There's some sort of kindect sort of sharing, right, 438 00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:48.359 So so for me, I think the issue may be 439 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.000 more in the network setting. Sport Mansarrona Wilds is very 440 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.200 online heavy, of course, that's you're meeting up with your 441 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:56.400 friends and playing games. This has this, This Dragons Dong 442 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.400 with two has that. Maybe not as bad, but still 443 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.680 some sort of network connectivity. Resideval don't need that. The 444 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.880 whole point of Resident Evil's being alone and scared. They 445 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.759 tried doing that with Resident Evil six, and I think 446 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.400 when I think about that game, I think more about 447 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.559 the logo and what it looks like than the actual game. 448 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.640 So this to me is natural. You're gonna have a 449 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:20.440 single player, narrative driven game all about being scared in 450 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:22.559 this spooky world. You don't worry about anybody else. You're 451 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:25.200 gonna completely isolated, and that, to me, I think is 452 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.359 best for that for what Capcom wants to do with 453 00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.920 their PC ports. I could be wrong. It could be 454 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.720 something more about the way that the Ari engine processes 455 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:37.519 certain things, and we'll see that rear its ugly head 456 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.400 once again and we will have an issue. But the 457 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:42.960 way I'm looking at it, if it's if these problems 458 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:46.640 are more network driven, I don't think there's an issue. Honestly, 459 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:51.599 I think this one has to work most of the 460 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:54.359 three because it's the biggest franchise of the three. So yes, 461 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:57.319 I think this will cause the most gritted teeth if 462 00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.519 it doesn't work, But I also think that the path 463 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:01.359 to get there is easier than the other two. 464 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.039 Yeah, I also like just see like maybe the nature 465 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.759 of the enemies and a resident evil could sort of 466 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.799 be a little bit easier for this all all to work, 467 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.400 because in Dragon's Dogma, there's all these NPC characters, these 468 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.519 enemy characters, these things that can follow you from region 469 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.880 to region. Monster in or Wilds certainly has that as well, 470 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.359 where there's just these these groups of monsters and these 471 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.880 giant monsters, and they are all running their own cycles, 472 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:28.440 doing their own thing, and you could sort of they 473 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:30.720 all have to be maybe going at the same time 474 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.000 if you were to like like kite one into another, 475 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.960 or you kind of go between them and you attract 476 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:36.880 the attention of both, and the game has to juggle 477 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:39.200 all of that at the same time. I think, and 478 00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:40.799 I'm pointing this off the top of my head, that 479 00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:44.839 remembering talks of the CPU being the bottleneck on these 480 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:46.599 games in a lot of cases, and that would certainly 481 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:48.480 be the case if that, if that, if that was 482 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:50.680 the problem, just trying to make sure that the game 483 00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.640 could juggle all of these interactable elements at the same time. 484 00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:58.400 Resident Evil will certainly have big things chasing you, because 485 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.480 that's been become staple, but it's usually one thing at 486 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.839 a time, and then dumber characters, just normal AI zombie 487 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.960 style characters or you know, leapers or something like that, 488 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.039 that might not be as much of a problem for 489 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:12.279 the game to handle. I hope that they can kind 490 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.680 of design their way around any of the limitations of 491 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.039 the Resident Evil or the RI engines, not the Resident 492 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.640 Evil engine ARI engine when it comes to building this game, 493 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.680 and you know, this engine was originally designed so that 494 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:28.000 they could make Resident Evil games. You would hope they 495 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.480 would not stray too far from what made it so 496 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.640 great for that in the first place. For this one, 497 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.240 just for the sake of trying to do something bigger 498 00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:36.000 or more open. 499 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:38.880 Now, I agree with you there, unless they are trying 500 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:43.240 to implement some sort of Nemesis type character, right, but 501 00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.039 I think they will. I think they will have one. 502 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.720 But if they have one of those, then I think 503 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:50.720 it's like they could probably focus on that, right, And 504 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.079 it's like yeah, and then if you run into some 505 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.079 other standard style enemies, it's like, yeah, we could predict 506 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.519 that a little bit better. But the nature of wilds, 507 00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:03.279 especially dragon Stalla two, is those interactions are very unpredictable. 508 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:06.319 The player can kind of cause all kinds of stuff 509 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.720 to happen on their own, and that's again especially true 510 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.200 in Dragon's Dogma two. I think that maybe the nature 511 00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:14.000 of Resident Evil makes it a little bit more predictable, 512 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:15.880 so they can maybe design their way around a little bit. 513 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.640 But we'll have to well to see. At the very least, though, Jason, 514 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.079 they're aware of it. They know that they can't let 515 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.319 this happen again, and I think that alone should be 516 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:25.319 taken as a good sign. And now we just got 517 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:26.079 to see if they deliver. 518 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.359 Right. I agree, And like I said, because this is 519 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.039 resident Evil, there will be more eyes on it than 520 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:35.160 even Monster Hunter or Dragons Dogma Resident Evil has much 521 00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:41.880 more universal acclaim, universal appeal. Now, whether that translates to 522 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:45.720 PC specifically or more console remains to be seen, but 523 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.480 I do think that see even a headline Ari Requiem 524 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:51.920 Suffers on PC is going to do some damage. They 525 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.799 got to make sure it works. 526 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:59.680 Yep, absolutely all right, Sony shuts down Concord again. Oh 527 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.039 this is from Marcus Person at Game Reactor, and you 528 00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:02.640 might be confused. 529 00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:04.640 Don't worry, We'll explain everything that's happening here. 530 00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.200 Sony seems hell bent on wiping out every trace of 531 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:10.400 Concord from the face of the earth, and honestly, who 532 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.079 can blame them. When the game became one of the 533 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.480 biggest belly flops in PlayStation's history four hundred million dollars 534 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.400 straight down the drain or around there, around that much, 535 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:21.480 the team behind the game was quickly dissolved afterward, and 536 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:24.039 Sony is now doing everything it can to make Concord 537 00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:27.359 vanish from collective memory. So when the game was unexpectedly 538 00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:29.759 brought back to life through the hands through the hard 539 00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:32.480 work of a group of dedicated fans who made it 540 00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:35.559 playable on PC again, it didn't take long for Sony 541 00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:38.319 to come knocking clips from the closed beta were hit 542 00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:41.720 with DMCA takedowns, and in the official Discord channel discord 543 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.519 Or for Concord Delta, the following statement has now been 544 00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:50.400 issued due to worrying legal actions. Due to worrying legal action, 545 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:54.279 we've decided to pause invites for the time being. In 546 00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.359 other words, the small team is fully aware that Sony 547 00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.799 has them in its sights, and as it resolved, both 548 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:01.240 to the both the project and the servers are currently 549 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:05.400 on hold. So this was just fans bringing the game back, 550 00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.279 finding ways to do it on PC, Sony catching wind 551 00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.119 of it, and you know, I think the Marcus person 552 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.279 here a game Rectors is attributing some motivations to that 553 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:17.799 of like Sony wanting to wipe the Internet of the 554 00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:20.920 like any trace of Concord. Part of me is always like, 555 00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:23.359 you know, the simple solutions probably are the simplest answer 556 00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.039 is probably the answer. And it's like lawyers are just 557 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.359 doing their due diligence to protect the company. And if 558 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.240 Concord's out there running in any real way, it's not 559 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.759 been that long since that game came out, and they're 560 00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.359 probably like, hey, if something happens with the game or 561 00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:42.000 someone has a bad experience in there. 562 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:43.759 We don't want to be legally liable. 563 00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:47.799 It's our trademark still, it's our copyright still, and we're lawyers, 564 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.200 and we're just going to do what we do. I 565 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.640 have any interactions I had with I've had with lawyers, 566 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.960 they're not going to be like, there's room for interpretation here, 567 00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.119 there's room for something. No, they're just going to do 568 00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.839 their job to protect the company that is paying them, 569 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.000 because that's their obligation. They have to do that. And 570 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.240 so that leads to situations like this where maybe there 571 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.359 was not marching orders from Herman Holst to get that 572 00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.839 shit off the internet. I don't think there was. I 573 00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.480 think it's probably just, hey, this is happening. How should 574 00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:18.799 we handle this? Well, the lawyers say do this, So 575 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:20.920 let them go do this, right. 576 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.160 Yeah. If anything, Herman Holst is probably like, really, people 577 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.079 actually want to play it and they're figuring it out themselves. Also, 578 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.039 I need to shout out a great joke in giant 579 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:32.640 bomb dot com, slash chats twitchat here. I've said it 580 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:34.680 before and I'll say it again. Nothing named Concord has 581 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:36.359 been able to take off since two thousand and three. 582 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:43.079 Well done, sir, that's good, but no, I find it. 583 00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.039 I wonder if too, if maybe and you mentioned because 584 00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:49.759 it's so new, if the tech used to develop the 585 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:54.720 game is still current in Sony's proprietary process, and they 586 00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:56.559 don't want anyone to be able to dig into the 587 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.559 files and find that and maybe glean some thing from 588 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:02.079 the way they do their thing and be able to 589 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.240 copy it, or you know, to say something like that. 590 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:06.920 So they just want people to stay away from Concord 591 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:09.119 for the time being. It is very weird that they 592 00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.119 would try to kill a resurrection, which because that implies 593 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.759 that people liked the game enough to attempt to resurrect it. 594 00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:18.960 But I get it. I get why they would do 595 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.359 it for legal reasons, as you mentioned safety or the technology. 596 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.480 It makes sense. It just sucks that it had to 597 00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.000 happen to Sweet Concord had to go down twice. Yep, 598 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.599 it was just a boy. It reminds me of the 599 00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:34.599 horse from Body Python. Sweet Concord, your death will not 600 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.279 be in vain, sir, I'm fine. 601 00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:43.400 Ridiculous, well, or will Ferrell falling into the fire pit 602 00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.680 and Austin powers and say I'm not dead, I'm. 603 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:46.839 Just very badly burned. 604 00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:50.640 It's a bang. Why you shot me? 605 00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:53.079 You're kind of going back and again. I want to 606 00:27:53.079 --> 00:28:00.599 shoot it again. All right, so Sony doing this, there's 607 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.079 no other implication that like they're thinking about doing some 608 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:04.200 of the concord. 609 00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:06.799 Right, yeah, right, Okay, Well I think that's the answer. 610 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.039 There wasn't the what was it that somebody put on 611 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:12.200 sale or found a goodwill? Was like the platinum disc 612 00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:14.400 or the gone goal. It was the Concord and the 613 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.599 really yeah it was a plaque. You're right, yes, yeah, 614 00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:21.079 so I don't. I think concord as well and truly dead. Unfortunately. 615 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:24.440 Well I have my physical copy behind me or right 616 00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:26.200 over there in a pile, so I still got it. 617 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:27.960 Put it in there. They'll come for you. 618 00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:28.880 Yeah, that's right. 619 00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:30.759 How shit? Heman?

Evan Blast, I 658 00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:15.759 guess has leaked Game of the Year nominees on what 659 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.400 looks like Twitter or Blue Sky. Can't tell anymore anyway, 660 00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:21.880 Here they are. These are the nominees for the Game 661 00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:27.079 of the Year category at the Game Awards, starting with 662 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.920 Clear Obscure Expedition thirty three, then Death Is Stranding Too 663 00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:35.759 on the Beach, Donkey Kong, Bonanza, Hades two, Hollow Night, 664 00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:40.440 Silk Song, and Kingdom Come Deliverance to There you go, 665 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:44.799 those are your six nominees, people. Jase was telling me, 666 00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:46.160 and I'm like, oh yeah, I would have put it 667 00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:48.279 on there, probably over Kingdom Come Deliverance to a Game. 668 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.680 I did play a little bit of Blueprints. I think 669 00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:54.240 it's the big omission there. That of course Roadcraft. Everyone's 670 00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:57.599 everyone not making it big man. 671 00:30:58.400 --> 00:30:59.160 Yes, So I. 672 00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.480 Okay, this list looks about right to me, though, I mean, 673 00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:04.079 there were a lot of really good games this year. 674 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.279 It was always going to be tough to just name six. 675 00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.519 I think all these are yeah yeah, strong nominees are 676 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.799 kind of kind of across the board. I think right now, 677 00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:19.559 my gut reaction for the game I think is Game 678 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.240 of the Year. Out of these six, it's it is 679 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:25.960 Silk Song. It's it's okay what I think is going 680 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:30.160 to win. Though Jason continues to be Expedition thirty three, Yes, 681 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.119 it deserves it like that. That mean preferring Silk Song 682 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:36.440 is not any indication of me thinking Expedition thirty three 683 00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:38.000 doesn't deserve the game win Game of the Year. 684 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:39.960 I think it does. How about you? 685 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:42.480 I am with you on that. I think claipstear is 686 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:44.119 going to win just because of the type of game 687 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.599 that it is and the uh the I hate to 688 00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:50.480 be so cynical, but it is easier to build a 689 00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:52.839 show around if that. You know what I mean, You 690 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.559 have all the voice actors there. It will be part 691 00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:58.160 of the Oh shit, sorry, it's had a realization. It'll 692 00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:59.799 be part of the symphony orchestra, the Game of the 693 00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:05.440 Year year medley, which means Zebra bonanza. He played on 694 00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.960 the stage, and that right there makes me very excited. 695 00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:10.720 They could just do a medley of all the different 696 00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:15.160 Bonanza songtic they got to use the Bonnanza. 697 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.839 It's the best one. And I will fight someone. Uh No, 698 00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:23.079 I don't know. Man hates two for the the people 699 00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:27.640 that vote on this thing that might have a have 700 00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:30.720 a have a chance here, But no, I think I 701 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:32.440 think if I had, if I'm a betting man, I 702 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.759 think Expedition thirty three is your winner. And honestly, people 703 00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:37.920 might have forgotten about because come out in February. But 704 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:40.640 I do like seeing Kingdom come here. It's nice to 705 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:43.039 see a game that is not afraid to say, yeah, 706 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:44.799 it's nice to see a game it's not afraid to 707 00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:46.839 say you're the player, but we hate you and we're 708 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.119 going to grind your face into the fucking dirt until 709 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.200 you learn how to play our game. And I enjoyed 710 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.400 it way more than I thought I would. The guy 711 00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:57.640 who makes it, that's a whole difference. But but but 712 00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.920 he's the game was fun and and then I want 713 00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:02.079 to see the I don't know the name of the actor, 714 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:04.119 but the guy who plays Henry puts in a very 715 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:06.839 good performance. That's where my strongest opinions are By the way. 716 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.000 I'm gonna wait for the nominees to come out, But 717 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:12.480 there is one person in particular who I think needs 718 00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:17.240 serious consideration for performance at any awards show, and that's 719 00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.519 Jenny Kidd as Pauline. Oh and the reason the reason 720 00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:23.000 is not, and the reason is not just because you know, 721 00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:25.880 no one's gonna be able to convince anyone that her 722 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.799 emotional performance is going to outrank those of Expedition thirty 723 00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:34.319 three or eighties. But she spoke and sang Pauline, which 724 00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:36.960 means she was singing and rapping a made up language 725 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.319 and made it sound like it was completely natural. That 726 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:41.119 girl deserves all the kudos in the world. That's hard 727 00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:42.880 to do. Yeah, I do. 728 00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.400 I fear it won't get recognized, but I have one 729 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.160 hundred percent agree with you that it deserves to be. 730 00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.079 It was and she was great, Like I just if 731 00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:53.119 she carried the sort of the performances of that game 732 00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:54.039 in a real strong way. 733 00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.279 Yeah. 734 00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:57.359 So, like now, as I like get ready for our 735 00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:58.920 Game of the Year over here, something I like to 736 00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:01.000 talk about think about we always bringing up on these shows. 737 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:04.440 I think I've I need to spend more time with 738 00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:06.160 deaf stranding and I think I will be going back 739 00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:10.239 to King Kingdom come Deliverance too. I think I started 740 00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:11.840 to go down a pathway of like how much become 741 00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:15.679 a cheeky little potion salesman or something like that, And 742 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:17.360 I think you could do that in this game, and 743 00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:18.800 I might like try to just go have my own 744 00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:21.119 fun with it instead of trying to rush through the 745 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.800 story as I was doing. And we'll see if that's possible. 746 00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:26.719 And my understanding is it is. I bet I could 747 00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:27.920 have even more fun with that game. 748 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.119 My favorite part of that game is if My favorite 749 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:31.199 part of that game is that if you don't go 750 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:33.559 to the bathhouse fast enough, people will actually complain that 751 00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:36.840 you smell like shit. That's yeah to me. I love it. 752 00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:37.840 Well. 753 00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:41.440 That is our leaked Game of the Year nominations. The 754 00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:42.960 rest of the nominations will be coming out at the 755 00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.079 top of the hour. Maybe we'll talk about on another 756 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.159 show if there's anything worth worth bringing up, but I 757 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:48.400 definitely want to talk about. 758 00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:49.039 Those with Jason. 759 00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:53.280 Let's see here, Let's get back to our rundown here, 760 00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:57.199 all right. US congressman calls for AI regulations after Call 761 00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.559 of Duty Black Ops seven debate. This is from Blair 762 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.719 Marnell at game Spot. Earlier this month, Call of Duty 763 00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:05.239 Black Ops seven players called out the apparent use of 764 00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:08.960 AI in the game, especially the quote unquote Ghibli style 765 00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:13.280 calling cards. Activisions subsequently acknowledged that some AI was used 766 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.000 in the creation of Black Ops seven, but it insisted 767 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:17.960 that the creative process is still in the hands of 768 00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:22.000 humans regardless. A US congressman has weighed in on the 769 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:25.599 Black Ops seven debate and called for extensive AI regulations. 770 00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:30.400 California Democratic Congressman Rocanna, who has previously accused Roadblocks of 771 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:33.079 not doing enough to protect children who use it, reposted 772 00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:35.679 a message about the Gibli like calling cards and wrote, 773 00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:39.559 we need regulations that prevent companies from using AI to 774 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.440 eliminate jobs to extract greater profits. Artists that these companies 775 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:45.280 need to have a say in how in how AI 776 00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.679 is deployed. In a subsequent post, Kanna shared some proposals 777 00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:53.039 from Nobel laureate Moglu. I'm not going to be able 778 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:58.480 to say that, right, Smaglu Smaglu, Yeah, okay, I like that. 779 00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:04.599 Ideas include tax reforms to encourage or to discourage excessive automation, 780 00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.559 and allowing workers and unions to benefit from AI gains 781 00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:12.639 rather than being placed by replaced by artificial intelligence. Kind 782 00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:14.880 of also stressed that he isn't calling for a complete 783 00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:18.719 ban on AI. So the idea here would be regulations 784 00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:22.519 that sort of make it challenging for companies or will 785 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.760 punish companies if all they're going to do with AI 786 00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:29.559 is use it to cut out workers and cut out 787 00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:33.599 more people from the profits, something that they are otherwise 788 00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:36.480 incentivized to do. And the idea would be like, let's 789 00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:40.280 share the benefits if there are any from AI with everyone. 790 00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:43.880 And look, AI feels like the tooth based out of 791 00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:46.400 the tube certainly in a lot of ways. It also 792 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.559 feels like a bubble waiting to burst in terms of 793 00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:52.599 the business side of things. But I've said before that 794 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.159 I think it's gonna be a real dark period for 795 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:58.599 AI here pretty soon, and then it'll slowly kind of 796 00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.599 come back, and it'll be everywhere forever and we're not 797 00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.559 gonna be able to do much about it. But one 798 00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:06.880 thing I do think would be possible is some sort 799 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:10.280 of regulation like this of building out tax incentives and 800 00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:13.519 disincentives to say, hey, if you want to do this, 801 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:16.400 if you can let the people who actually are doing 802 00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:20.360 the work decide how it's used and share any like 803 00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.079 in sort of the productivity gains that you get out 804 00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.800 of that, then I would be more open to the possibility, 805 00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:30.239 because otherwise, every time I see it, it's just a 806 00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:33.280 reminder of all of the ways that these companies try 807 00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:35.599 to ring us dry, and then when they can completely 808 00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:38.079 cut us out, they are more than happy to rush 809 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:41.679 to do that. Does any of this feel like it's possible? 810 00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:43.400 Does any of us feel like it's on the table 811 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.639 or we're anywhere near that? Because pineing the sky stuff, 812 00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:48.440 I feel like it's probably not. 813 00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:53.000 No, I wish this whole story. When I first saw 814 00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:58.440 that screenshot of the of the AI give, I was furious. 815 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:03.639 But let me unequipped right now, fuck AI and fuck 816 00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:08.719 you for using it. That is, I understand if people 817 00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:11.679 may want to try it once or twice because they 818 00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:15.360 can't draw. I can't draw, but I'm not on Sora. 819 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:16.920 I don't care. I just don't draw. 820 00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:19.320 I feel not wrong. When I did use it the 821 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.039 one I just felt nothing from using it. It was like, 822 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:23.920 what the does this add to my life? 823 00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:24.280 Work? 824 00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:24.679 Well? 825 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:31.880 But yeah, well sure I had to be Rocana too, right. 826 00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:34.760 Rocanna is not not the greatest person or at least 827 00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.559 somebody's saying it. I don't think there's any chance. I 828 00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:41.199 don't think there's any chance that uh ai goes away. 829 00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:43.519 But I am very much looking forward for that bubble 830 00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:48.480 to burst and for like the the overabundance of AI 831 00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:51.400 as it is now, to go, you know, go by 832 00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:56.280 the wayside. I feel like there probably is some good 833 00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:00.559 use for machine learning right racally, like in the meta field, 834 00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:02.960 being able to go through all those complex equations and 835 00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:06.159 find the right one faster or something like that. But 836 00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:11.400 this theft shit, whether it's you know, chat ept stealing 837 00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:14.880 text or sores stealing images, has to fucking go. And 838 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:18.199 I wish they would nut up and just put legislation 839 00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.679 out there that says you cannot use this for commercial 840 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.280 for monetary gain or commercial never happened, We'll never happened 841 00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:27.000 because they're terrified, because it's like they don't do it, 842 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:29.239 then China will take over AI and we'll be left 843 00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:32.440 behind in the twenty first century and say, oh boy, 844 00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:35.360 there's got to be some other way of doing this 845 00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:37.880 other than operating from the worst fears and the worst 846 00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.480 possible situation. You kind of can't. 847 00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:42.960 Lead the future because you're like, oh, if we don't 848 00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:44.599 do it, someone else will. We're too afraid of what 849 00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:48.159 that means. That's not a recipe for making sure everyone's 850 00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:51.800 included on the bus. But that's not been the concern 851 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.519 of these companies. It is you never will renize profit 852 00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:59.400 in every situation, and the government and politicians are too 853 00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.079 often right there being like, oh, that should be our 854 00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:06.559 our greatest concern as well, and it's oh no, the 855 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:08.559 well being of the people you represent should be it. 856 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:10.440 And that doesn't even seem to come to the equation 857 00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:15.039 like it's everywhere. 858 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:18.920 It's it's like all last week, there's five other kinds 859 00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:21.320 of stories about where it's popping up, and it's always 860 00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.480 like in weird ways where it's like Ubisoft just used 861 00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:27.519 it for like one AI loading image. They they probably 862 00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:29.119 used it for more than that, but there was one 863 00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:32.159 AI loading image where they said it slipped through and 864 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:36.360 it had like obvious ar AI artifacts of like squishy 865 00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:39.280 face faces and bad hands, and they're like, we're gonna 866 00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:42.199 that's through our review process. Our developers just use it 867 00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:46.480 for let's see here, iterations, prototype and exploration, but every 868 00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:49.559 element players will experience in the final game reflects the 869 00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:53.599 team's craft artistry and create a vision. And that's on 870 00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:56.559 one side, and on the other side, Crafting the PUBG 871 00:40:56.719 --> 00:41:01.559 company is like we are buying out everyone basically that 872 00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:04.760 wants to have a voluntary buyout, And if you've been 873 00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:06.280 here for a year or less, we'll give you six 874 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:08.880 months of pay of salary to get out of here. 875 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:11.079 If you've been here for up till like eleven years, 876 00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:13.800 you might get as much as three year salary because 877 00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:16.880 we are an AI first company. And it's like, okay, 878 00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:21.000 so Ubisoft like gotten a lot of heat for having 879 00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:25.000 one image, and Crafting's basically just kicking everyone out so 880 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:26.480 they can do everything with AI. 881 00:41:26.840 --> 00:41:28.800 So we have the we run the whole gamut here. 882 00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:32.679 And it just feels like, well, we are certainly jumping 883 00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:35.840 the gun and getting out over our skis with this stuff. 884 00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:38.159 And I think that's the part that makes it feel 885 00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:42.559 especially bad, is this this is a tech that and 886 00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:46.159 it's in its best examples like of I guess that 887 00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:50.639 looks somewhat realistic, but it obviously is not. Doesn't feel 888 00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:53.199 good or or like that Coca Cola commercial where it's 889 00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:55.960 like this does not match up to what you did 890 00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:59.519 previously in any way other than it sort of has 891 00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:04.920 the general look. Is that the bar that you're measuring 892 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:05.599 these things by. 893 00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:06.280 Uh? 894 00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.480 And if it is, it's. 895 00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:10.639 Like, okay, the people in charge are are going to 896 00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:12.840 sort of shoot themselves in the foot with this stuff. 897 00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:15.159 And that's where the bursting bubble is gonna come from. 898 00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:17.760 Uh And and that's and even that is not gonna 899 00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:19.760 hurt those people as much as it's gonna hurt everyone 900 00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:20.559 who got fired. 901 00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.079 And now these companies don't have money to hire anyone again. 902 00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:26.079 It's a nightmare. How are you feeling about it? 903 00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:28.719 Jason? It's a piss Felder simulator, that's all it is. 904 00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:32.400 It can make it can make the image look as 905 00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:34.880 as realistic as they want, but it still has that 906 00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:38.400 weird asschene on it that anybody with a discerning eye 907 00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:40.840 can see. The problem is nobody has a fucking discerning eye. 908 00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:43.239 They just want to They have a discerning wallet, and 909 00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:45.599 all they care about is how cheap it is. Crafton 910 00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:47.519 going to find out the hard way. I mean, granted, 911 00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:49.599 at least they're doing something. They could have just said 912 00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:51.760 get the hell out instead of yeah, buying. 913 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:54.760 I mean, these plays are in South Korea, so who knows, 914 00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:56.800 maybe they couldn't just say get the hell out. There's 915 00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:59.039 probably right protections labor protections there. 916 00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:02.199 But yes, we're saying, but like this Ubisoft thing, Oh 917 00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:06.039 it just slipped through, It just slipped right. I'm thinking 918 00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:08.440 of the guy slipping on ice, where he's like slipping 919 00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:11.559 on ice for forty five seconds before he actually falls over. 920 00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:14.199 I'm imagining this guy going going to Sora and like 921 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:16.719 slipping around and typing in the prompt that he needs 922 00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:19.000 and then slipping it as he saves it to where 923 00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.199 I ever needs saved to you. Here's an idea you 924 00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:25.760 probably in your prompt for this, put in picture from 925 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.320 this era that would look like a loading screen for 926 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.880 a video game. Right, Say that's the prompt, take the 927 00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:34.599 word loading, put it on a screen with an image 928 00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:38.199 with big fucking neon colors so you don't miss it, 929 00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:41.400 and put that in there instead. It'll take just as 930 00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:45.000 much time and you'll avoid looking like an asshole when 931 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:48.679 you accidentally leave it in there. Fucking I hate AI. 932 00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:51.239 Pisses me off to no end. When I see people 933 00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:56.079 like good friends of mine on their Instagram reels, their 934 00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:58.639 or their social media using AI, I'm just like, no, well, 935 00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:02.280 you fucking stuff I hate it so much. 936 00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:06.480 Yeah, the discerning I thing, right, It's like people don't 937 00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:08.840 most the vast majority of people don't know the problem, 938 00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:10.760 and so they don't even see the problems. 939 00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:11.480 They don't even know it. 940 00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:15.159 I think it's going to be a situation where maybe 941 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:17.840 someone like looks at that Coca Cola commercial and goes, 942 00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:20.320 I just don't like as much. Maybe they just didn't 943 00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:22.719 have a good one this year, or they find out 944 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.360 it and then maybe they find out it's AI and 945 00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:27.039 they're like, oh, okay, well that's cool. Then I guess 946 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:31.280 I just the conversations we're having are not the general conversations. 947 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:34.440 But I do think that it is. 948 00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:38.320 People are like, like, are wonder why things look like 949 00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:40.679 such shit right now? Or why it does feel worse 950 00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:44.920 than it did before. And hopefully we can continue to 951 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:49.000 point the finger rightfully at AI and say it's because no, 952 00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:51.679 they're not letting the actual artists do the work for 953 00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:53.880 the vast majority of these things so they could save 954 00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:55.880 some money, and so you're going to continue to get 955 00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:58.360 worse stuff. Doesn't that make you angry? And I hope 956 00:44:58.360 --> 00:44:59.440 we can win that conversation. 957 00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:02.159 Don't you remember when you were a kid and it 958 00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:04.480 would be just around this time and you'd see the 959 00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.800 Coca Cola You mentioned the cocoa commercial with the bears. Yeah, 960 00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:10.159 those that is a They love those. You know what 961 00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:14.679 else is really cheap besides AI, restore those if you 962 00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:17.239 don't want to make a new one, just HD restore 963 00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.760 the old classic ones. It's the same. You get the 964 00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:23.199 same damn message. It's Christmas, here's coke and some polar bears. 965 00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:25.400 But it doesn't look like a piece of shit, and 966 00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:27.559 for people with that discerning eye, it doesn't look it 967 00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:28.079 doesn't look. 968 00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.599 Sorry, Yeah, they've been running the same eminem like holiday 969 00:45:31.639 --> 00:45:35.840 commercial for like thirty years now, different times. It's great, Yeah, yeah, exactly, 970 00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:38.639 but it's like, you know, that goes the other side 971 00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:40.199 of it of it's not Oh, you could just run 972 00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:42.880 those again. Those have stood the test of time for 973 00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:46.000 a reason because they were clever, and they were done 974 00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:48.440 by people who understood how to speak to other human 975 00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:52.239 beings and could operate on multiple levels of here's something 976 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.480 that looks nice, here's something that has a meaning to it, 977 00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:59.760 here's something that speaks to a desire that all humans feel. 978 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:05.119 And even if the machine can sort of replicate some 979 00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:08.760 of those ideas. It's so clear, very quickly that it 980 00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:12.559 can't actually create those feelings itself, so it can't really 981 00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:14.239 speak to them and and. 982 00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.000 That's subtle, uh but but that's it's part of like 983 00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:17.440 where the. 984 00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:20.679 Chain breaks down and it sort of taints everything that 985 00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:22.800 it does, and it's like everything's not quite as good 986 00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:26.559 as if a human did it. But yeah, it's good 987 00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:28.559 enough the corporates. I don't even know if it's good enough. 988 00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.400 Though it has been good enough so far. It's not 989 00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:31.800 good enough. 990 00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:35.119 Chad is now becoming a greatest hits of Christmas commercials. 991 00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:37.679 The Corona with the lit up pine tree for Hershey 992 00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:40.119 Kisses where they're playing the bells let me tell you 993 00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:43.360 something and someone said this in the shell but Briki one, 994 00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.199 I think it is Berriki underscore one. If they AI 995 00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:50.719 the fucking hes truck, I am done. You understand me. 996 00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:54.280 You're gonna AI the truck that you sell every year too. 997 00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:59.039 You're gonna just generate that a he I needs to 998 00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:01.880 go AI and roadblocks man one in one egg for 999 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:03.880 number one on your leg one in one a I 1000 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:08.440 fuck say them both one and incorporates the other all 1001 00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:11.280 of a singularity of rage I'm just exploding to nothing. 1002 00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:13.239 All right, Well, let's keep going here. 1003 00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.039 More players in the UK, US and Japan still prefer 1004 00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:19.360 single player games to multiplayer games survey fines. 1005 00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:20.079 Uh. 1006 00:47:20.119 --> 00:47:22.280 In the US, it's like, let's see, I made the okay, 1007 00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:24.519 sixty five percent. I'm gonna make this chart bigger so 1008 00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:25.440 I can actually read it. 1009 00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:26.480 Let's go there. 1010 00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:28.960 Uh, yes, Okay. In the US, sixty five percent prefer 1011 00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:32.679 single player games. Japan is sixty three percent, Thailand sixty 1012 00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:37.039 two percent, Germany sixty percent, UK fifty eight percent, Mexico 1013 00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:40.800 fifty five percent, Sweden forty nine percent, and China forty 1014 00:47:40.840 --> 00:47:44.280 seven percent. So even in China, a country where I've 1015 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:48.400 talked about before, culturally the gaming landscape has always been 1016 00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:52.840 very social, very online, very much a you need other 1017 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:56.679 humans involved because it's competitive first and and and like 1018 00:47:56.719 --> 00:47:58.480 pay to win took off there because they just never 1019 00:47:58.519 --> 00:48:00.480 saw the problem with the way other people the other 1020 00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:03.840 cultures did, and that also means you need other players 1021 00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:07.599 to play against. Even there, forty seven percent not the majority, 1022 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:11.000 but close to half prefer single play, single player games. 1023 00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:14.039 I think that every time that these companies get in 1024 00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:17.360 a situation, Jason where they look at the possibility of Hey, 1025 00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:21.199 multiplayer games do sell better and they do make more money, 1026 00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:26.159 but there is a finite amount of time for those 1027 00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:29.360 kinds of games, for people for that that who for 1028 00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.079 that style of game. If we want to have a 1029 00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:36.639 chance of diversifying, it does not mean make another multiplayer game, 1030 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:38.199 because if we make a good one of those, it 1031 00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:42.639 should ideally take up a vast majority of that kind 1032 00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.320 of person's time because they will just it becomes their hobby. 1033 00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:48.639 If we want to make multiple games, the only real 1034 00:48:48.719 --> 00:48:51.119 solution to that is to play to this audience, right, 1035 00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:53.320 even if they don't spend as much to end total. 1036 00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:58.599 Yeah, if that's if the analysis is saying we prefer 1037 00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:00.440 single player games, you have to care to the people 1038 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.239 who prefer single player games. And I think the sales 1039 00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:06.119 charts always show that too. Like Ghost of Yota earlier 1040 00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:08.039 this year had a great what three million? I think 1041 00:49:08.039 --> 00:49:11.440 it is now three four million, so like it. It 1042 00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:15.800 does not surprise me. Also too, have you played online 1043 00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:19.320 with free chet? It sucks because people are screaming at 1044 00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:21.519 you and calling you and I am at what is 1045 00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:23.960 the all? Right? So this there's a difference in response 1046 00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:26.920 age sixteen to twenty four and those age twenty five 1047 00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:29.800 to thirty four. I would love to see that split. 1048 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.760 And there is forty nine percent sixteen to twenty four 1049 00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:36.639 prefer sixty single player games, fifty six percent for twenty 1050 00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:39.039 five to thirty four, sixty four percent fifty five to 1051 00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:41.639 sixty four. Old folks don't want to get yelled at 1052 00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:43.920 by a bunch of young scrubs. That's all. That's what 1053 00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:45.079 I'm rereading here. 1054 00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:47.480 And that's like, okay, you could read that both ways though, 1055 00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:49.440 where it's like, okay, so, if you want a future 1056 00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:51.639 proof your company, you should be focused on multiplayer. But 1057 00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.639 because of the way the world's working right now, younger 1058 00:49:55.639 --> 00:49:58.960 people don't have as much disposable income. If you want 1059 00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:00.360 to make a game that could sell right now, you 1060 00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:03.239 should maybe make something that appeals more to the older audiences. 1061 00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:07.159 I think, you know, if you're if you're Sony reading 1062 00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:09.480 this and you're trying to like figure out your strategy 1063 00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:12.360 going forward, it's obviously you're still it's obviously you're still 1064 00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:16.320 making both. But I you know, I don't know if 1065 00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:20.960 if if I'm in that boardroom at PlayStation, how anyone 1066 00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:23.519 can accept the idea that the bulk of our of 1067 00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:28.119 our investment should be in massive, you know, a live 1068 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:31.920 service multiplayer games. It's like, no, the our base, our foundation, 1069 00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:34.880 our rock has been a certain style of game for 1070 00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:38.599 forever and and and if. 1071 00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:40.480 We maybe we're not abandoning that. 1072 00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:42.800 We have not been abandoning that, but we've certainly been 1073 00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:46.119 letting it sort of go like run on its own 1074 00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:49.519 steam and not being we haven't been reinvesting in it. 1075 00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:50.039 Certainly. 1076 00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:52.920 I don't know how you could sort of let everyone 1077 00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:55.719 out of the room under this idea of we should 1078 00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:58.119 be making twelve live service games. Now obviously that has 1079 00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:02.119 had its problems and not doing that necessarily anymore. But 1080 00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:04.119 it's like, how did that even happen in the first place? 1081 00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:05.880 How you got how'd you guys sort of talk yourselves 1082 00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.679 into that? Because it maybe half of the investment. May 1083 00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:12.119 if you made tried six big live service games and 1084 00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:15.119 the rest of that money went to building more studios 1085 00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:17.599 or trying more single player stuff, that would have gone 1086 00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:19.719 better for you, and I predict, I predict it would 1087 00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:24.039 have because there's just this solid foundation of players who 1088 00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:26.320 want that, and then the multiplayer game can be the 1089 00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:29.199 occasional lotto ticket. And instead what they did is just 1090 00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:31.440 went all in on buy as many a lot of 1091 00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:33.000 tickets as we possibly can, right. 1092 00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:37.280 Yeah, and that unfortunately, when lottery tickets are by their 1093 00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:39.760 nature not guaranteed, so when they don't cash out, you're 1094 00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:44.679 left with a fumbled bag. It sucks. Yep I hope 1095 00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:46.840 that they take this and they sort of balance their 1096 00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:53.320 their output here because people still want their single PlayStation. 1097 00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:55.920 Single player narrative games are some of the best things 1098 00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:57.800 you can play on their console. Last of Us, Scott 1099 00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:01.400 of War Uncharted when that was a thing, Horizon, those 1100 00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:03.639 sorts of games, Uh, you want to you want to 1101 00:52:03.679 --> 00:52:06.599 cater to the Unfortunately, honestly, I think at this point, 1102 00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:09.000 if they were smart, the console makers were smart, they 1103 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:11.840 would just try and I know Epic's been trying to 1104 00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:14.800 skirt them every chance they get with like Fortnite, for example. 1105 00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:19.599 But the the service fees for the micro transactions on 1106 00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:22.559 your consoles might be the best way to get live 1107 00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.440 service funds at the moment, because the live service games 1108 00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:27.800 that are here are so entrenched and they're not going 1109 00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:31.119 anywhere that you're not unless you have a game that 1110 00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:34.159 is so good everyone to like arc Raiders, I think 1111 00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:36.440 is a good recent example of a game that has 1112 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:39.239 simply broken in because it's a lot of fun and 1113 00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:42.440 people are enjoying what it does. But that's now another 1114 00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:45.920 live service game that you have to compete against. So 1115 00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:50.119 it's a it's a rock and a hard place, and 1116 00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:53.519 it's a it's a problem that I do not envy 1117 00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:56.239 and envy them having, but I don't know. 1118 00:52:56.199 --> 00:52:59.639 Man, Yeah, you know it's and their lab service business 1119 00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:02.960 does work. They make money from it, and they make 1120 00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:05.880 money by having third parties put live service games on 1121 00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:08.360 on their platform. And it's hard to ignore that money, 1122 00:53:08.440 --> 00:53:11.559 and they shouldn't because it has work to a certain extent. 1123 00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:14.480 It just did not. It's also had as many you. 1124 00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:16.920 Know, crash and burns and you know, burn four hundred 1125 00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:19.840 a pile, four hundred million dollars in one go in 1126 00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:23.280 something like Concord, and they've had that like to various 1127 00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:25.639 degrees multiple times now. And it's like, I think that 1128 00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:30.159 the sure thing, the reliable first party game, first party 1129 00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:32.880 single player game. It just seems like maybe that's the 1130 00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:35.440 good ground to go to to return to, and then 1131 00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:38.639 you just try going live service, try going multiplayer a 1132 00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:41.280 little less frequently, and be a little bit more discerning there, 1133 00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:43.159 and that does seem to be where they're going right now. 1134 00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:45.360 It's just I'm surprised they didn't try that from the 1135 00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:46.239 from the outset. 1136 00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:50.440 Arc Raiders uses AI too, doesn't it. 1137 00:53:50.599 --> 00:53:53.360 Yeah, for the for the voices, Yeah, everything is going 1138 00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:56.639 to It's going to be everywhere. X Defiant reportedly began 1139 00:53:56.719 --> 00:53:59.719 life as a new splinter Cell game by the Dispatch developers. 1140 00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:02.960 From Rebecca Valentine, who got this from I think there 1141 00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:05.880 was a report over at Bloomberg. Ubisoft was at one 1142 00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:07.920 point not too long ago, working on a brand new 1143 00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:11.239 splinter Cell game, but it morphed over time to become extifiant, 1144 00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:13.639 according to a new report. This comes from a Bloomberg 1145 00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:17.480 story about ad Hoc Studio, the developers of workplace superhero 1146 00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:20.840 comedy game Dispatch, which describes their journey from Telltale Games 1147 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:24.360 to a superhero comedy game Dispatch. Ye, I'm sorry to 1148 00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:28.039 Ubisoft to tell their independent excuse me to own their 1149 00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:31.400 own independent studio. The leadership of ad Hoc began working 1150 00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:34.719 together at Telltale Games, working on Tales from the Borderlands 1151 00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:39.280 before Nick Herma, Dennis Leonard, and Pierre Schorett departed for 1152 00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:42.639 Ubisoft in twenty seventeen. There the Trio worked on a 1153 00:54:42.679 --> 00:54:45.760 new entry in the splinter Cell franchise. I was so 1154 00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:48.360 excited to be a part of this and help revitalize 1155 00:54:48.400 --> 00:54:50.840 it because it's been dormant for a while, Herman told Bloomberg, 1156 00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:52.719 and we thought we could tell a great story and 1157 00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:55.559 do something the fans would love. However, they explained that 1158 00:54:55.639 --> 00:54:58.320 Ubisoft was beginning to push games as a service hard 1159 00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:02.599 across its portfolio, and splinter Cell didn't quite fit that mold. 1160 00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.800 Over time, the splinter Cell project transformed into what would 1161 00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:08.920 become x Defiant, a free to play first person shooter 1162 00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:12.000 that launched two middle in reviews last year and shut 1163 00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:15.960 down just this past June, taking two entire studios with it. 1164 00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:20.280 The Trio eventually reunited with Michael Schaong, another former colleague 1165 00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:22.840 from Telltale, to start ad Hoc Studio in twenty eighteen. 1166 00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:25.639 While working on a version of what would be eventually 1167 00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:29.039 become Dispatch, they also took on a script writing codev 1168 00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:31.880 Gig on the Wolf among Us two, only to pull 1169 00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:34.039 out of the project after writing an eight hundred page 1170 00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:37.039 script due to frustrations with a lack of creative control. 1171 00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:40.960 That project, last we heard of it seemed similarly similarly 1172 00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:44.199 ill fated oh No. Eventually, though, the group was able 1173 00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:46.159 to pull together the final version of Dispatch with the 1174 00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:48.320 support of both a publisher and a number of well 1175 00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:52.400 known actors. Thanks to casting director Linda la Montange, a 1176 00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:55.119 last minute deal with critical role for another game helped 1177 00:55:55.119 --> 00:55:57.639 them help get it across the finish line. It's just 1178 00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:01.239 like that sounds like modern game development for studio of 1179 00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:04.920 this size, like the sort of low to middle size 1180 00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:07.559 studio where you have to try. 1181 00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:09.360 A million different things to make ends meet. 1182 00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.360 You probably bring in people from a lot of other 1183 00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:15.199 publishers and you, you know, sign a bunch of deals, 1184 00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:17.880 and if you get a game made, the story behind 1185 00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:20.800 it will sound like it's a miracle that anything ever 1186 00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:21.199 came out. 1187 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:23.000 And that's certainly the story of Dispatch. Right. 1188 00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:25.880 Every time I hear a story like this, that's exactly 1189 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:30.000 the first thing I think. It is interesting that they 1190 00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:35.519 went from splinter Cell to ragtag bunch of heroes in Dispatch. 1191 00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:38.880 That is a weird trajectory, but with their with their 1192 00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:41.840 Telltale with the Telltale background and bringing that those teams in, 1193 00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:43.880 I guess it kind of makes sense. I think the 1194 00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:48.880 story here is that they thought Splinter Cell, Ubisoft thought 1195 00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:54.800 splinter Cell, one of their biggest franchises, wasn't fitting their 1196 00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:57.079 current like what means going on? Man? That? 1197 00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:00.760 So that to me, that sounds so familiar to like 1198 00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:04.840 every conversation happening inside these companies right now where they 1199 00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:08.960 they probably are across the board, like maybe everyone except 1200 00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:11.239 for Nintendo, but even Nintendo, like like they're probably having 1201 00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:14.000 conversations about star Fox the Starfox MA extent a sense, 1202 00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:15.840 But I bet it's a little bit different in Nintendo 1203 00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:19.320 than at like a Microsoft to Sony in the activision, 1204 00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:21.679 which I guess is Microsoft and you be Soft all 1205 00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:24.960 these companies where they're like, okay, people keep clamoring for 1206 00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:28.599 X for something like splinter Cell. Let's do all of 1207 00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:31.199 the math, Let's do all of the market research. Let's 1208 00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:34.159 try to figure out can this game sell ten million 1209 00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:36.480 copies and make at least a fifteen percent profit margin? 1210 00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:40.159 And I think they all kind of come to the 1211 00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:43.199 answer of maybe, but probably not. And so we don't 1212 00:57:43.199 --> 00:57:45.320 get any of this shit or they're just too scared 1213 00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:48.440 to make to make the bet. None of these games 1214 00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:51.400 are getting made right now because someone inside these companies 1215 00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:53.519 has a strong vision for making the game. 1216 00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:56.119 It is maybe. 1217 00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:58.719 Pitched, and then it's it's got to pass through, you know, 1218 00:57:58.800 --> 00:58:02.320 miles and miles of your brocracy and approvals from people 1219 00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:04.840 whose first concern is not a good video game, but 1220 00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:07.800 a game that is a good fit for a market that. 1221 00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:10.079 They can see explained to them on a. 1222 00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:11.239 Spreadsheet on paper. 1223 00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:14.000 And of course, like splinter Cell is going to have 1224 00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:16.159 a challenge doing that because the last couple of splinter 1225 00:58:16.199 --> 00:58:19.800 cells did you know whatever they did, And games like 1226 00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:22.599 that right now are not They're few and far between, 1227 00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:24.360 and the games that do make all the money in 1228 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:27.880 the world look very different. So like, how do you explain, well, 1229 00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:29.960 this game could pop off because there's people out there 1230 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:31.559 that want to play that. They're like, well, then show 1231 00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:34.239 show me that on paper, Vibe, give me another example, 1232 00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:38.039 and there aren't any. So it's it's a self perpetuating 1233 00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:40.559 cycle where games like this aren't getting made, so there's 1234 00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:42.599 no examples of them doing well, so these companies don't 1235 00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:44.760 want to make them. So it feels like we're just 1236 00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:46.559 gonna it's gonna get worse and worse with these companies 1237 00:58:46.599 --> 00:58:48.559 getting more and more afraid to make stuff like this. 1238 00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:51.800 Yeah, and even too, it seems like Ubisoft can't make 1239 00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:54.199 a game in any of its trademark franchises without it 1240 00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:57.920 being super bloated with towers and big maps and and 1241 00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:02.880 and symbol overload and all this other stuff. So they 1242 00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:04.880 really need to figure out what the hell's going on 1243 00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:08.159 in there. Man, it's it's uh, it's a problem. 1244 00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:12.599 Last story here. I think this Zelda movie looks pretty cool. 1245 00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:12.920 Uh. 1246 00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:16.280 There was some Yeah, there was some leaked footage of 1247 00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:20.960 behind the scenes filming with Zelda kind of walking around 1248 00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:25.199 the set with horses with like a utrama that looks like, 1249 00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:28.519 you know, if it's from Hiral Kingdom. And we have 1250 00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:31.000 some official set photos I think popped off on the 1251 00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:32.119 Nintendo Today app. 1252 00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:33.960 Here's from Jim Norman. 1253 00:59:34.280 --> 00:59:36.800 Nintendo has revealed a new batch of photos of the 1254 00:59:36.840 --> 00:59:39.679 upcoming live action Zelda movie, giving us our closest look 1255 00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:43.119 yet at its central duo, the Pinchers. Pictures were shared 1256 00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:46.800 on the Nintendo Today app and reveal Bo Bragginson's Yeah 1257 00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:51.920 bos Braggason's Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth's link in 1258 00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:54.360 full costume on location in New Zealand. 1259 00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:57.639 Zelda. Yeah, yeah, let's see here. Now it's true. 1260 00:59:57.719 --> 00:59:59.840 There are only three photos to take in for now, 1261 00:59:59.840 --> 01:00:03.320 But it looks like Zelda and Janef You if this 1262 01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:05.280 is something you could show off people like you can 1263 01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:07.559 show the photos and maybe even that Instagram behind the 1264 01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:12.079 scenes footage. I saw the behind the scenes footage first, Jason, 1265 01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:14.559 and just seeing that was like, oh man, suddenly I 1266 01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:17.519 have confidence in this. I have something about it just 1267 01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:21.079 looks right. But of course that's just one little tidbit, 1268 01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:23.199 and that's you know, who knows why I feel that way, 1269 01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:24.199 but I don't know. 1270 01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:25.280 You said you feel the same. 1271 01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:25.559 Why. 1272 01:00:26.119 --> 01:00:28.199 Yeah, Because they're going with the Breath of the Wild 1273 01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:29.440 Tears of the Kingdom presentation. 1274 01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:31.639 It is pretty similar to that, yes. 1275 01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:35.519 Which is, if you're comparatively speaking, this is going to 1276 01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:37.480 be a weird thing to say for the legend of Zelda. 1277 01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:41.760 But hear me out on this. The most grounded look 1278 01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:46.280 look wise of the franchise. You know, a boy in 1279 01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:48.320 a hat and tunic running around with the sword. It's 1280 01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:50.039 gonna look people can think that it's a really weird. 1281 01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:54.360 This looks like it could for people who do not know, 1282 01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:58.119 they think these two people could be in a Lord 1283 01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.000 of the Ring style thing or a Game of Threat. 1284 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:03.480 It blends in better to that esthetic for the people 1285 01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:06.639 who don't know what Zelda is, right, I do feel 1286 01:01:06.639 --> 01:01:07.880 weird saying that they look like they could be in 1287 01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:09.840 Lord of the Rings. I get it. Chat. Let me look, 1288 01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:13.159 I'm just saying it from a from a visual perspective 1289 01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:16.079 people seeing these and not knowing what's going on, but like, 1290 01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:18.559 all right, we got medieval fantasy going on, maybe some magic. 1291 01:01:18.599 --> 01:01:22.199 We'll see what's happening. Also, from the leaked footage the casting, 1292 01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:24.760 I'm gonna butcher this name of dyke in Lochman. I 1293 01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:28.119 think that's that's I say it, Dykeman Lockman as Impa 1294 01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:32.480 apparently who for those who don't know, she is Miss 1295 01:01:32.679 --> 01:01:38.599 Casey in Severance. Yes, is a brilliant She is a fastic, 1296 01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:42.000 incredible Yeah, and she's a fantastic actress. So I think 1297 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:44.519 she's gonna She's gonna nail it. I'm very excited for 1298 01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:47.199 my wellness session with Impa when that movie comes out 1299 01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:49.960 in May of twenty seven. H Dchen, Did I say that? 1300 01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:50.159 Is that? 1301 01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:51.840 Did I say that wrong? Uh? All right, yeah, I 1302 01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:53.239 knew it was gonna butcher it, so thank you for 1303 01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:56.760 correcting me. If I did. No, this is exactly what 1304 01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:58.840 I was hoping for from a Zelda movie. This is 1305 01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:00.559 exactly the kind of thing I want to say. It 1306 01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:03.000 is going to be profoundly weird to hear Link speak, 1307 01:02:03.239 --> 01:02:05.440 but in the movies he kind of has to, and 1308 01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:06.239 I can get over that. 1309 01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:11.119 Yeah, I'm hopeful at the very least, now seeing it 1310 01:02:11.199 --> 01:02:13.320 like this, say oh, this movie is going to come out, 1311 01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:15.880 You know. I guess I should have known, because if 1312 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:18.760 then Nintendo's been serious about the Sony pictures like they 1313 01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:20.239 said they were filming, they got a director and all 1314 01:02:20.239 --> 01:02:23.280 that stuff, but just burned so many times on video 1315 01:02:23.320 --> 01:02:26.320 game movies. I will see this and I'm hoping it 1316 01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:29.480 will live up to all the possibilities. I don't even 1317 01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:33.440 say expectations, but just the possibilities of being good. All Right, 1318 01:02:34.519 --> 01:02:37.079 That does it? No poll question from Friday? We did 1319 01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:39.320 the Big or the Bomb twelve? Excuse me? The Big 1320 01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:42.199 list of the Bomb twelve. You guys could check that out. 1321 01:02:42.280 --> 01:02:44.559 I'll have a blog post today that goes over that. 1322 01:02:44.719 --> 01:02:46.920 We'll have a new link for new submissions to the 1323 01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:48.280 Bomb twelve. We'll do that at the end of the 1324 01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:52.360 week as always. In the meantime, though, why don't we 1325 01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:53.960 do this, Jason? Why don't you tell people where they 1326 01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:55.440 could find you on the internet, what you have going 1327 01:02:55.519 --> 01:02:56.960 on and all that good stuff. 1328 01:02:57.480 --> 01:03:01.079 Jacsonfinelli dot Com, One Blue Sky, big Man Finale, everywhere 1329 01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:05.039 else writing news and features and stuff for Game Spot 1330 01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:06.880 as usual. I do have one more review for them 1331 01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:08.679 before the end of the year, so keep an eye 1332 01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:11.599 out for that. Also right for MMO ORPG and a 1333 01:03:11.639 --> 01:03:14.440 couple other freelance places here in the hither and thither 1334 01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:17.000 around the Internet. I have my own YouTube channel which 1335 01:03:17.039 --> 01:03:19.320 I get on once in a blue moon. Maybe I'll 1336 01:03:19.320 --> 01:03:21.960 react to the nominees of the Game Awards, which I 1337 01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:24.239 have going on on the screen above me here. I 1338 01:03:24.239 --> 01:03:26.639 can officially say justice for Jenny Kids. She was not 1339 01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:32.440 nominated for Best Performance because it's mostly Exhbision thirty three people. 1340 01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:35.679 I did notice there's no dispatch there either. 1341 01:03:35.519 --> 01:03:37.199 A dispatch came out probably too late for. 1342 01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:40.159 It's no it's an independent game, so no it didn't. 1343 01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:43.760 I mean, I just mean, like I just for performance reasons, 1344 01:03:43.800 --> 01:03:46.960 just like a game like that could still get nominated 1345 01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:49.119 that late, but for the conversation around how good the 1346 01:03:49.159 --> 01:03:51.559 performance is. That was like it's a show burn and 1347 01:03:51.599 --> 01:03:53.760 people were just playing the last episodes and really got 1348 01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:55.800 hit by it recently, it was too late for it. 1349 01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:58.679 To get I will love I will say though, for 1350 01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:02.840 the Degenerates and Chat Best Mobile game nominee Uma Musume 1351 01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:07.280 Pretty Derby, y'all can run with that. I've never played it. 1352 01:04:07.320 --> 01:04:08.920 I just know that you guys like to talk about it. 1353 01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:12.639 But no, the presentation just ended. I'll go through all 1354 01:04:12.679 --> 01:04:15.159 those nominees that we talked about it tonight on my 1355 01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:19.119 YouTube personal YouTube channel. But yes, that's where you can 1356 01:04:19.280 --> 01:04:22.480 find me. Yeah, that's it. 1357 01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:25.840 Excellent, all right, thank you so much. Let's see here 1358 01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:27.840 we do a new pole question. Do you think that 1359 01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:29.679 Zelda movie stills look good? 1360 01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:30.079 Yes? 1361 01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:30.360 Or no? 1362 01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:33.559 We'll talk about that on Game Es Mornings here on 1363 01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:38.440 Giant Bomb on Wednesday. Speaking of Giant Bomb, today, we 1364 01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:39.880 got to figure some stuff out. 1365 01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:42.199 I think we might be doing Monday mornings Missed with Mitch. 1366 01:04:42.239 --> 01:04:45.880 But also it's we intend to start up Missed three 1367 01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:47.559 here pretty soon, and we'll see if Mike wants to 1368 01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:50.480 start that now or next week.
