Speaker 1: You are listening to Video Games to the Max. Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to a special edition of Video Games to
Speaker 1: the Max on a Saturday, as we are doing our
Speaker 1: first part of two episodes here on the Summer Game
Speaker 1: Fests Shenanigans showcases all that, and of course, also because
Speaker 1: we happen to have a console that is coming out
Speaker 1: the same week, we are also doing Antenna switch to
Speaker 1: Impressions review whatever you want to call it. Both of
Speaker 1: us have one. We'll give our initial thoughts and we'll
Speaker 1: go through at least the surprise Tony State of Play,
Speaker 1: the Summer Game Fest actual event itself, day of the devs,
Speaker 1: and then I might cover some of the smaller stuff
Speaker 1: that I watched, and then that'll probably be it for
Speaker 1: this episode, and then of course on Monday we'll do
Speaker 1: the Xbox Show and whatever else we happen to watch
Speaker 1: with Waen after that. So but all right, we don't
Speaker 1: have like video games to get to that are not
Speaker 1: talking about twitch to stuff, so I guess we can
Speaker 1: get to the housekeeping when they click here. So yes,
Speaker 1: if you normally we do the show on Mondays at
Speaker 1: nine o'clock Eastern, you can watch us live then on
Speaker 1: YouTube Twitch Facebook doubles who network, check us out, subscribe
Speaker 1: wherever you can follow wherever you can. If you subscribe
Speaker 1: to the YouTube channel, not only do you get what
Speaker 1: we do on this show. If you like other things
Speaker 1: that are not video games, we do cover that as well,
Speaker 1: just not Mark and I other people that do a
Speaker 1: great job. So you have the anime folks a Taco Cafe.
Speaker 1: They cover all of the seasonal anime every season, they
Speaker 1: do awards free season, and then they do a whole
Speaker 1: yearly thing. They do awesome job. Over there, you got
Speaker 1: Rochester Broadcasting the cover pretty much every big movie that
Speaker 1: comes out every week. And then also you know they
Speaker 1: keep up with TV shows pretty well and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So there's a multimedia thing to go find. And also
Speaker 1: if you like listening on podcasts, you can just go
Speaker 1: find each one of the shows Rochester broadcasts to go
Speaker 1: Taco Cafe or US Video Games to the max on
Speaker 1: podcasts and then check us out that way. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's it for the Housekeep in here. So we'll
Speaker 1: go ahead and start with Antennol Switch two and then
Speaker 1: we'll go into the showcases. Mine showed up at six
Speaker 1: fifty am. From what they did was they use their
Speaker 1: delivery food delivery vans to come in and have everybody
Speaker 1: come in early. And I didn't get these, but a
Speaker 1: lot of people got a coke and pringles with it
Speaker 1: as the kind of a way to kind of be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, you can also get food and have it sense,
Speaker 1: you know, whenever you want. Basically trying to get you
Speaker 1: to subscribe, you know, either subscribe a Walmart Plus or
Speaker 1: you know, use them for other things as well. Hey,
Speaker 1: great that it was there early. I didn't get to
Speaker 1: touch it until I came in too before starting work
Speaker 1: and I set it up and everything very seamless process
Speaker 1: to set that up do the system transfer did not
Speaker 1: take very long. You can also if you want to
Speaker 1: plug in your It's funny you can't use the micro
Speaker 1: SD card to store anything on the switch to but
Speaker 1: you can use it to bring over your screenshots and
Speaker 1: videos if you want. Interesting that like, they have a
Speaker 1: micro SD the micro SD slot and it will recognize it.
Speaker 1: But I don't know why they couldn't have made it
Speaker 1: to where you could do like like you can with
Speaker 1: the Xbox and PlayStation where you can use it as
Speaker 1: like an external drive for your.
Speaker 2: Old games, right, behind the times.
Speaker 1: No, also Nintendo wants to wants you to buy.
Speaker 2: The micro also, that might be that might be a
Speaker 2: good vector for like hacking the switch.
Speaker 1: To Yeah that too, that's too probably. But yes, they
Speaker 1: do have like an official Nintendo licensed thing with Samsung
Speaker 1: where you can buy one for like fifty bucks, so
Speaker 1: a two hundred fifty six gig Macrost Express card as well,
Speaker 1: So they probably want to incentivize you to you know,
Speaker 1: get that. So how was uh, how did you get it?
Speaker 1: And and what was the process like for you? Well,
Speaker 1: you haven't even set yourself right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine stone a box. So I didn't get it
Speaker 2: the day of. I got it the next day. A
Speaker 2: friend of mine, he wasn't like a scalper, but he
Speaker 2: did order like two or three extras for like various
Speaker 2: people or just to kind of sell, like not outrageously
Speaker 2: or anything. He's gonna get like twenty bucks extra or something,
Speaker 2: but get an extra MARKRTE World one. And I grabbed
Speaker 2: it and I had to dive back to his house.
Speaker 2: It's like fifteen twenty minutes out and I gave him
Speaker 2: money that was really annoying and stupid. I didn't match him.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to buy it from a store because
Speaker 2: I could just use like a firm, you know, and
Speaker 2: I can't do that with a friend obviously he's in
Speaker 2: a you know. So what I what I was gonna
Speaker 2: do is my landlord, he has a tobacco store if
Speaker 2: he's like places down and I talked to him, and
Speaker 2: he can use it a firm like in stores, you know,
Speaker 2: the virtual car a card. And I was like, hey,
Speaker 2: can I basically give you five hundred dollars in a
Speaker 2: virtual credit card and you give me five hundred back
Speaker 2: in cash? He was like sure, Well he didn't care.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: I had to pay like a little extra for like
Speaker 2: you know, the processing fee, but as like ten Bucks
Speaker 2: the coop cares. We tried like seven times and nothing worked.
Speaker 2: I tried it with like the actual car, like the
Speaker 2: virtual card itself through like a firm's program or you
Speaker 2: know app. That didn't work, and then Google pay didn't
Speaker 2: work either. So then I had to get creative. I
Speaker 2: had to go down to a local grocery store buy
Speaker 2: a five hundred dollars visa gift card like a physical one,
Speaker 2: and then I went, wow, gave him the gift card
Speaker 2: and I was like, hey's five hundred dollars on this,
Speaker 2: give me five hundred cash. He was like okay, and
Speaker 2: I got five hundred in cash, and then I went
Speaker 2: to my friend's house like the next day and yeah,
Speaker 2: paid him off.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was dumb, I'll admit, but I got the
Speaker 2: switch too, so and I was like one of the uh,
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about it a little, but yeah,
Speaker 2: they already revised the box art and the packaging for
Speaker 2: the thing, which.
Speaker 1: Is yeah, because there are some people that you know,
Speaker 1: they got the launch day editions and they either got
Speaker 1: Mario Kart World pre installed or they got a download
Speaker 1: code which then they which then they had to go
Speaker 1: through the whole download process themselves.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I got the just the switch itself, so then
Speaker 1: had to use my points that I already had with
Speaker 1: Nintendo uh to then you know, get the digital version downloaded.
Speaker 1: It download speeds are a lot better. I do not
Speaker 1: have mine, you know, plugged in with the ethernet. It
Speaker 1: is wireless and it it downloaded Mario Kart World in
Speaker 1: about like fifteen minutes or less, and it would have
Speaker 1: a lot longer.
Speaker 2: It's not like a six gigawey game or something or
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: But it would have taken a lot longer on the
Speaker 1: original Switch. I can tell you that right now.
Speaker 2: I mean, the main reason I haven't set my up
Speaker 2: is I've been playing Sweaking in one, so I've been
Speaker 2: like busy with other ship.
Speaker 1: Well you know, I got mine on the Swiss Suckers
Speaker 1: played on on Switch two, so you know I played.
Speaker 1: You did play? Yeah, yeah, you did. Okay, that's so I.
Speaker 2: Was gonna, Yeah, I played my friends. He had Marrik Cart.
Speaker 2: It doesn't look good, you know, looks like Marik Hart
Speaker 2: but better. Like I still don't like some parts of
Speaker 2: that game. I don't like the dual power up system
Speaker 2: at all. Why not because it's dumb, Like I just
Speaker 2: woll why why do you have to have two or
Speaker 2: you know, like and the whole like hot swapping between
Speaker 2: them or you know you gotta fire the one off
Speaker 2: or you know you can switch between them. But it's
Speaker 2: like this, what's the problem just having one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I do think that. You know, Mario
Speaker 1: Car World, like the the free roam thing is not
Speaker 1: I was playing that quite a bit today and then
Speaker 1: a little bit at launch. It's not this huge thing
Speaker 1: that Nintendo made. It seem like it's this nice little
Speaker 1: feature that ahead of time, like I'm just I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's not this big ordeal that Nintendo made.
Speaker 1: It seem like it's not the now. Maybe they'll add
Speaker 1: to it if people do make use of it more,
Speaker 1: you know, it might be that right that they need
Speaker 1: to hear from gamers that they are actually, you know,
Speaker 1: using it, and then they will add more things to it,
Speaker 1: because they do have little mini games and things like
Speaker 1: that that you can play, Like I ran into one
Speaker 1: where it was like having you get a bunch of
Speaker 1: rings and you have to do it in a certain
Speaker 1: timeframe or your run out, and it'll ask you if
Speaker 1: you want to retry, and there's a little obviously you
Speaker 1: can get like that. They've showed it off already, the
Speaker 1: the different costumes and stuff like that for other characters
Speaker 1: and other things. So like there's a Marrior to and
Speaker 1: obviously you can that's one way you can find different
Speaker 1: hidden areas and tracks and things like that is doing
Speaker 1: the free room as well, so there's you know, reasons
Speaker 1: to do it. Apparently you can do free Rome in
Speaker 1: co op, but you have to be using the joy
Speaker 1: con separately. You cannot use them you cannot use like
Speaker 1: a pro controller and like the joy Con and a
Speaker 1: grip or whatever you have to use Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, like they have a switch
Speaker 1: to pro controller. So it's like, why wouldn't you, you know,
Speaker 1: let people use it or play it however they want,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna allow co op with it. I don't
Speaker 1: I kind of don't understand that. But you know, as
Speaker 1: I've played a little bit of the Grand Prix, that's
Speaker 1: you know, typical Grand Prix stuff. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: It does feel like it's a little bit harder. There
Speaker 1: is no two hundred cc at launch, So if you're
Speaker 1: used to racing on that, I think that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a problem for you probably. I saw some people say
Speaker 1: that they that's the reason like they're not buying the
Speaker 1: game actually is because they're so used to racing on
Speaker 1: twound to CEC that one fifty too slow. The Knockout
Speaker 1: Tour thing is actually really fun. That is a great addition.
Speaker 1: I love it, like you, It makes you go up
Speaker 1: now each instead of having three laps or whatever, there's
Speaker 1: like anywhere from like five to eight laps depending on
Speaker 1: because you have to do the whole thing where you
Speaker 1: race to the other course, so it counts that as
Speaker 1: laps as well, and you start like going down, you know,
Speaker 1: keeps going down, so you get to like, oh you
Speaker 1: have to be fourth or higher.
Speaker 2: Yeah at the end knockout race.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it it's yeah, it does. It does
Speaker 1: get you kind of nerve wracked after a while of like, oh, man, okay,
Speaker 1: this is you know, I'm gonna I did lose out
Speaker 1: like once because I got knocked out at the end
Speaker 1: and I went up fifth or something and I didn't
Speaker 1: get to make it to the final, right thing. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really fun. I haven't played the the other like
Speaker 1: battle modes or whatever yet, but I'm excited to play
Speaker 1: that with an eye at some point, just to have,
Speaker 1: you know, someone else to play it with.
Speaker 2: Right. Play online, man, yeah I could do that as well.
Speaker 1: I just right at the time, I was really tired
Speaker 1: and I didn't feel like, you know, dealing with playing online.
Speaker 1: But you do get the you know, having that twenty
Speaker 1: four or people are you know, just even if it's
Speaker 1: a I that's twenty four racers. It's really chaotic and fun.
Speaker 1: So that's a great addition to the only other game
Speaker 1: that I have at the moment is Fast Fusion technically
Speaker 1: reviewing that game, so you know, it's it's F zero,
Speaker 1: but it's it's a sequel to the Fast rm X
Speaker 1: game that came out for the original Switch. It's the
Speaker 1: same company and everything, and it's a F zero like essentially,
Speaker 1: So if you like F zero and you know, it's
Speaker 1: actually probably the cheap I think it's the cheap outside
Speaker 1: of the switch To upgrade packs or whatever. It's the
Speaker 1: cheapest game available at launch for the Switch To. It
Speaker 1: is Fast Fusions. It's fifteen bucks, so you know, oh well,
Speaker 1: aside from the Welcome Tour, which you know, there's some
Speaker 1: people actually saying that Welcome Tour is half decent, So
Speaker 1: there's that and awesome.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, yeah, I'm sure it is. But it's
Speaker 2: whole ten dollars when it should just be free.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think we can all agree with that.
Speaker 1: But I guess if you do play the mini games
Speaker 1: or whatever, it does kind of show its worth eventually.
Speaker 1: So you know, as far as the system goes, uh,
Speaker 1: it is it is bigger obviously Switch one. The screen
Speaker 1: is really nice, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I hope, so for you know, like.
Speaker 1: So like the screen is a lot nicer. You can
Speaker 1: tell immediately it does recognize your whole you know, if
Speaker 1: you have four K and all that stuff on the
Speaker 1: TV easily you can set it up to be automatic,
Speaker 1: or you can just have it do it every time.
Speaker 1: It does boost. Some games also like so, and they
Speaker 1: don't need updates like they they do look automatically smoother.
Speaker 1: It doesn't necessarily mean that they look amazingly better, like obviously,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the Nintendo games will probably
Speaker 1: get patched at some point, like I imagine most of
Speaker 1: the Zendo Blade games will get passed. But just playing
Speaker 1: definitive edition of Chronicles X, it looks smoother on that
Speaker 1: screen than it does on the Switch one, and it
Speaker 1: steadier as well. The fps felt studier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a consequence having a better CPU.
Speaker 1: So and the LSS is probably working also in there.
Speaker 2: I watched the MVG's video about like the Switch ne
Speaker 2: credibility and like Dragon Quest Boulders too with nasty at shit,
Speaker 2: Like holy Christ, I can't believe that the game was
Speaker 2: like allowed to release in the Switch one. Yeah, run
Speaker 2: like fifteen frames a second, you know, barely, and the
Speaker 2: Switch two switch to it was like a lock at thirty, Like,
Speaker 2: it still doesn't look super great, right, it looked a
Speaker 2: lot better than it did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Mario Car World looks looks great on it,
Speaker 1: especially on the TV, but it looks really good on
Speaker 1: the screen as well. And like, look, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: pop up the old ed and I'm sure when they
Speaker 1: do switch to old it's gonna look even better. But
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I have no complaints on
Speaker 1: like the field of the system. I will say I do.
Speaker 1: I do events. I had to go back to using
Speaker 1: the Proke controller because even with the grips, the joy
Speaker 1: cons feel better. The cons feel a lot better, but
Speaker 1: I still felt like my hand my fingers were hurting
Speaker 1: after playing Mario Kart World for like an hour because
Speaker 1: the buttons are just not meant to be. It feels
Speaker 1: like the buttons are still not meant to be sat
Speaker 1: there and pressed so hard like that all the time.
Speaker 1: So I would recommend, if you like the pro controller,
Speaker 1: go back to using your Poke control. The only thing
Speaker 1: that sucks is you can't wake the console. So I
Speaker 1: did have a you know, somebody in the in the
Speaker 1: discord Crafty's discord, the video game Happy Hour he was like,
Speaker 1: you know, you could just put the joy cons in
Speaker 1: the grip and have it next to you and then
Speaker 1: hit the button to wake the console and then then
Speaker 1: you can go back to use your per control. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, I could have thought about
Speaker 1: it because I have all my consoles are behind my TV,
Speaker 1: so while that's how I wake them up is with
Speaker 1: the controller, and it's annoying to have you have to
Speaker 1: pull the switch all the way out and then pull
Speaker 1: it back in for it to wake it up. So
Speaker 1: it is kind of annoying, and it it does feel
Speaker 1: so weird because you're so used to like the switch
Speaker 1: one where it it will literally just come out of
Speaker 1: the switch. Sometimes you have to press that release slatch
Speaker 1: hard for it to come out. So you know, uh,
Speaker 1: they did not skimp on. They wanted to make sure
Speaker 1: those things didn't come out of the system when you
Speaker 1: lock them in right. And the kickstad feels real good too. Actually,
Speaker 1: the kickstand will scared me because you pull it and
Speaker 1: it's like really hard to pull and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh crap, I'm gotta break this thing. And you know,
Speaker 1: because the switch one kicks down was like a little
Speaker 1: dinghy thing that like I broke really quickly because I
Speaker 1: literally will just come off.
Speaker 2: Don't worry, I'll break this one.
Speaker 1: Essentially, this one, I had to pull it pretty hard
Speaker 1: for it to finally and it and it's very thirty
Speaker 1: so you know, I use I set it up that
Speaker 1: way because it actually has you practice taking the things
Speaker 1: out and all that stuff during the setup. So it Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's a really good console. I will agree with
Speaker 1: the concept of people saying that it does feel like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a switch pro or this is what the
Speaker 1: switch pro would have been. Yeah, I think in concept, yes,
Speaker 1: that is it. But also I think we have to
Speaker 1: realize that the Mario Kart World was built to be
Speaker 1: played on Switch one. So unless Donkey Kong Bonanza is
Speaker 1: a true switch to game, we may not get a
Speaker 1: true switch too game for a while because Pokemon Za
Speaker 1: and Metro Paying four Beyond both play on Switch one,
Speaker 1: so we may not really get to see the magic
Speaker 1: of what switched to. Games like that are made for
Speaker 1: switch to and switch to only are really gonna look
Speaker 1: like for a while. So you know, let's see when
Speaker 1: Nintendo does their direct or whatever. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed the system it's just right now. It kind
Speaker 1: of if if you don't I do, I happen to
Speaker 1: have a bunch of Switch games that I never finished
Speaker 1: or never like actually got around to playing that I
Speaker 1: can now enjoy running better on the Switch too. If
Speaker 1: you're one of those that has played everything on your
Speaker 1: Switch and you kind of get a known with Mario
Speaker 1: kartt World and none of that launch lineup speaks to
Speaker 1: you because you already have a PS five or Xbox,
Speaker 1: maybe there's not a lot here for you. Gonna be
Speaker 1: honest with you, the launch lineup is not is not
Speaker 1: great outside of Mario kartt World. So and even then,
Speaker 1: if you've recently played Mario Kart eight, this isn't going
Speaker 1: to feel like that much of a leap up for you.
Speaker 1: My thing is I the moment that they announced Mario
Speaker 1: Kart World, I hadn't played Mario Kart eight in a
Speaker 1: long time anyway, But I purposely chose not to buy
Speaker 1: the DLC pack and I didn't play Mario Kart at
Speaker 1: all because I didn't want that feeling of oh God,
Speaker 1: this feels the same, you know. I wanted to have
Speaker 1: that experience of oh I haven't played Mark Kart. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: this feels new, this feels fun, you know, but if
Speaker 1: you are one of those that's played Mario Kart recently,
Speaker 1: this may not feel like that much different to you.
Speaker 1: But again, this is a launch lineup that I equate
Speaker 1: this to the Xbox Series. X went through the same problem.
Speaker 1: They really didn't have a launch game for that thing.
Speaker 1: It was hopefully you have game Pass to play a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff until they do have games for this.
Speaker 1: At least PlayStation had what Forbidden West, so you know,
Speaker 1: like there wasn't really a reason for you to buy
Speaker 1: the Xbox Series Exit launch either if you're buying it
Speaker 1: for a game, and this kind of feels the same
Speaker 1: as such. At least you do have mark Our World.
Speaker 1: So yeah, any other Yeah, if you haven't played, if
Speaker 1: you only had the the PS four Xbox One version
Speaker 1: of Cyberpunk, this is definitely the best version of Cyberpunk. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it actually has the expansion back on it, so
Speaker 1: you know, the.
Speaker 2: Only the only two things i'lso say is I watched
Speaker 2: my buddy play. He played like around a Soul Caliber
Speaker 2: two with the GameCube thing and the controller. Uh, and yeah,
Speaker 2: he's like a game. I mean he likes the GameCube controller. Basically,
Speaker 2: this is not good for this game, and my comment was,
Speaker 2: it's not good for any game.
Speaker 1: It does apparently work with other things on the switch
Speaker 1: to as long as you don't have to use this
Speaker 1: that plus and minus buttons for the game. So you
Speaker 1: can use that game can controller if you like it,
Speaker 1: for other games as well. It doesn't have this be games.
Speaker 1: But yeah.
Speaker 2: The funny thing is, uh, well you don't have the
Speaker 2: GameCube Pass, do you.
Speaker 1: No, I don't have that. I don't even have the
Speaker 1: regular switch online.
Speaker 2: The thing is is like loaded it up and he
Speaker 2: had access to both the American and the European versions
Speaker 2: of the game as well. Yeah, and this is kind
Speaker 2: of weird. And then he loaded up. He didn't really
Speaker 2: know what Zero was. I think he just knew it
Speaker 2: was like a futuristic racer or the GameCube at zero.
Speaker 2: I think it's d X. He loaded up and he's
Speaker 2: kind of like what is this and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like wipe out or it's kind of
Speaker 2: like Mario Kart but not you know, have items, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: played around and I was like, I'm gonna warn you,
Speaker 2: it's really fast, and he kind of didn't really believe
Speaker 2: me until he played it and he got like, first
Speaker 2: of all, he sucked at it because he never played before.
Speaker 2: He got like eighteenth place, and it was like, is
Speaker 2: this like a knockoff of I was like, it's kind
Speaker 2: of like wipe out. He's wipe out like a not
Speaker 2: cough like well kind of, but white Pott has like,
Speaker 2: you know items like this is just racing or you know,
Speaker 2: just like a boost and like a you know, spinny
Speaker 2: thing and that's it. And yeah, he played like one
Speaker 2: race of that game and he immediately hated it.
Speaker 1: But I was like, it is an acquired taste. Not
Speaker 1: everybody likes that.
Speaker 2: I was thinking, like when you're talking about Mark cart
Speaker 2: like it's too slow for people's play at zero, Like
Speaker 2: that'll really pull your hair back a little.
Speaker 1: Like, but yeah, I mean hopefully everybody that's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: got one's enjoying it and looking forward to what's coming.
Speaker 1: It's as we'll talk about with Summer game Fest. And
Speaker 1: and you like, I only saw out of all the
Speaker 1: slowcases I've seen, and I've seen about five of them,
Speaker 1: I've only seen one switch to game have a logo
Speaker 1: with switch to on it out of all those games.
Speaker 1: So I wonder if it's a Nintendo thing or if
Speaker 1: it's just there wasn't a lot of people with switch
Speaker 1: to dev kits for games that are new or what
Speaker 1: the situation is particularly but interesting that we've had all
Speaker 1: these showcases and I've only seen one game so far
Speaker 1: that has a switch to and I to be fair,
Speaker 1: I have not watched all the Future Games showcase, but
Speaker 1: that's where I thought it. It was the game and
Speaker 1: it had switched to you on it. Yeah, there's switch one,
Speaker 1: and obviously the I will say the shop runs a
Speaker 1: heck of a lot better. I forgot to mention this,
Speaker 1: and I mean as it should. As it should obviously,
Speaker 1: it's also weird it doesn't it doesn't have music, but
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the whole switch one. The whole
Speaker 1: switch one uh library is on there, so it's not
Speaker 1: like there's not that much. There's the whole switch one
Speaker 1: library is on that thing.
Speaker 2: So populating it with more ads and ship so that's
Speaker 2: why that music so.
Speaker 1: Well. It's also because now each game has a trailer
Speaker 1: like the Xbox and PS five ones too, so it's
Speaker 1: like they don't they didn't want to have to like
Speaker 1: go into like making the music quiet every time you
Speaker 1: turned on the video and then have to re up
Speaker 1: it again and all that stuff, so I can I
Speaker 1: kind of understand that. But it'll show some of the
Speaker 1: Switch two games and then immediately you go down and
Speaker 1: it shows you all the Switch one uh stuff there.
Speaker 1: So it's like you can access both pretty pretty easily
Speaker 1: and you can find whatever it is you want in there.
Speaker 1: It's not so it's just nicer to move around it
Speaker 1: because the Switch one was like just so slow, and
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, this feels like PS three
Speaker 1: levels are slow, you know sometimes, So I'm just glad
Speaker 1: that it's all that. It's like, it's done, nicer better
Speaker 1: running switch that I think everybody wanted to. Let's see
Speaker 1: how long it takes before we get to the point
Speaker 1: where you just can't run certain games on the switch
Speaker 1: to at all. But I'm, you know, again, enjoying it.
Speaker 1: I'll probably enjoy it a lot more once you get
Speaker 1: into actually, like maybe once Donkey Kong comes out and
Speaker 1: hopefully it is is good and worth checking out. If not,
Speaker 1: may not have any like actual switch To games inside
Speaker 1: for Mario Car World for the rest of this year
Speaker 1: that are like Nintendo First Party unless they surprise us
Speaker 1: with something at the whenever they have the next intended
Speaker 1: direct So we speaking of showcases, that's the other part
Speaker 1: of this weekend that has not finished yet. Like I said,
Speaker 1: we still have the Xbox One tomorrow. We still have
Speaker 1: I think a few on Monday. So we have had
Speaker 1: the Cavalcade of Saturday already, and we have had the
Speaker 1: Surprised Sony State of Play that happened on June the fourth,
Speaker 1: and then also the Summer Game Fest showcase itself. So
Speaker 1: We're gonna cover the Sony One and Summer Game Fest,
Speaker 1: kind of talk about like some of our favorites from those,
Speaker 1: and then I'll talk about the other ones that I've seen,
Speaker 1: because Mark hasn't watched anything aside from the main two.
Speaker 1: I guess since it happened, and it's coming chronicological order,
Speaker 1: since the Sony One happened first. As Sony is apt
Speaker 1: to do, they always they want to be the ones
Speaker 1: to kick it off, you know, get some of the
Speaker 1: glory for a day, and then you know, let Jeff
Speaker 1: have his moment afterwards. What did you think, I guess
Speaker 1: overall of this forty minute presentation, Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, there's way way better than the two and
Speaker 2: a half hours and the other one.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, I mean, what are your your
Speaker 1: some of your favorite things that they showed off.
Speaker 2: Here, Uh, let's go, let's see. I see a Remnants
Speaker 2: game kind of was funny, Like it didn't look that interesting,
Speaker 2: but it's kind of funny. It's like just mashed up
Speaker 2: like Assassin's Creed four and that Avatar game. All right, Like,
Speaker 2: you know, I got wum Mines might might be cool,
Speaker 2: but I'm like bad at loum Mines. So I'll probably
Speaker 2: get this and it look neat, but I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: terrible at it. Uh yeah, Bloodstained the cool you know,
Speaker 2: that's the one I get. Uh, Romeo is a dead
Speaker 2: Man looked really neat. But most of the Pseudo's games
Speaker 2: you gotta play first to see if they're gonna be
Speaker 2: good or not, because they all look cool, but only
Speaker 2: about half of them are worth of damn. And then
Speaker 2: the two big ones, Marvel and Double seven, look pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you think of Double O seven? And
Speaker 1: is a lot I saw a lot of people complaining
Speaker 1: about the look of.
Speaker 2: I think I'm fine even like the look of the
Speaker 2: character or yeah, Yeah, yeah, I think it looks good.
Speaker 2: I guess it's a scar in his face, which is
Speaker 2: like how the books portray him. Ass Like it's they're
Speaker 2: not basing it off of you know movie you know,
Speaker 2: Pierce Browsman or Daniel Craig or something like they're going
Speaker 2: they're trying to be an accurate to the books. And
Speaker 2: in the books, he's not supposed to be like this,
Speaker 2: Like he's supposed to be like charming, but he's not
Speaker 2: supposed to be like this handsome, necessarily handsome guy. Ah.
Speaker 2: I thought looked up a lot more action packed or
Speaker 2: a lot more fast paced than like the Hitman's games
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Well. I mean I.
Speaker 2: Just find a hit Man game, like I really want
Speaker 2: to like him because everyone seems to like them except
Speaker 2: for like you and me. Ah, but and I think
Speaker 2: they're like good quality games, but something about him just
Speaker 2: thinks they're just like really plotting and slow. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 2: This also reminded me a lot of Alpha Protocol, like
Speaker 2: and just like the tone for some reason. We'll see
Speaker 2: if it. I I don't think it's not going for
Speaker 2: that necessarily, it'd be funny if it did. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I really liked it. I think that's probably like my
Speaker 2: game of the showcase personally.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm surprised. I thought, uh, you might go
Speaker 1: with uh with another thing, yeah, with Marvel or something.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like it too. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: necessarily you know, my dad is the I got named
Speaker 1: after Von so, like, you know, I kind of grew
Speaker 1: up with watched the James Bond. I like James, but
Speaker 1: you know, like during the PREUS browsing years or whatnot.
Speaker 1: I think I've watched like Casino Real. I haven't watched
Speaker 1: the what's it Quantum Solace is so yeah, but still,
Speaker 1: I mean, he this is supposed to be like, you know,
Speaker 1: before he becomes James Bond, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like training or not training. But yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a young, younger Bond, so it's not supposed to be
Speaker 2: like as confident or as self assured as he is
Speaker 2: in the movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense that he's like this. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't like I think overall they did a good
Speaker 1: job kind of portraying. I've been watched that, you know,
Speaker 1: the actual showcase, if they showed any more of it,
Speaker 1: so I'm sure that they may have shown more.
Speaker 2: Even in the trailer. It looked like about half of
Speaker 2: it was actually like I mean, it didn't have a hood,
Speaker 2: but look, a lot of it was good gameplay. So yeah,
Speaker 2: that looked good to me, Like, you know, it wasn't
Speaker 2: just like a completely CGI trailer or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I definitely exactly. No, this is definitely mostly
Speaker 1: an engine for the most part, So yeah, anything else.
Speaker 2: I mean as far as Marvel token or talking or
Speaker 2: whatever the hell they didn't call.
Speaker 1: Its, Yeah, I think it looks neat.
Speaker 2: I'm more us. But the roster, uh, if it's going
Speaker 2: to have a story mode or not, because the Marble
Speaker 2: you know, the capcom ones kind of most of them
Speaker 2: don't and the one they did was terrible. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: you know that that's kind of my big question, like
Speaker 2: what they should look neat? And you know, I like
Speaker 2: that it's very Japanese centric, like all the curious, like
Speaker 2: all the curious. If they ever actually do like an
Speaker 2: English dub or not or what you know, it'd be
Speaker 2: kind of cool if they didn't, but I imagine that.
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. Look, it did look cool with them
Speaker 1: talking Japanese, you know, right, and they did that little
Speaker 1: featurette afterwards. It was kind of how they ended it,
Speaker 1: which is weird, like it almost kind of felt like
Speaker 1: they should have done it the inverse, like they should
Speaker 1: have kind of led up to the trailer and then
Speaker 1: ended it on the trailer, all right, because you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's shocked after a while of of like oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't believe they're you know, doing this, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: then you kind of ended with that and it's like
Speaker 1: all right, well whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that it'd be funny if Warner Brothers just had,
Speaker 2: like Capcom do the new Injustice game, though, like you
Speaker 2: guys take a crack at it.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there I kind of want to know
Speaker 1: if there was a discussion at all with Capcom about
Speaker 1: in Marlvers Chalpcom four or did they just straight up
Speaker 1: only approach our system works.
Speaker 2: I there might have been a conversation, but considering how
Speaker 2: badly Capcom ship the bed with Injustice, I'm not just
Speaker 2: a sorry infinite, but is.
Speaker 1: That really Capcom's fault though, because a lot of it
Speaker 1: had to do with Disney's insistence on it has to
Speaker 1: be the MCU. The MCU, you know.
Speaker 2: The roster is one thing. But first of all, like
Speaker 2: look at like the Collector's edition that I think was
Speaker 2: a huge mess. And then like there are visual problems
Speaker 2: in that game, like that they had like quickly patched,
Speaker 2: you know to make Chung Lee like not ghastly looking.
Speaker 2: That's not Disney or Marvel's fault, like they may have
Speaker 2: said to like the release date or something, but even
Speaker 2: Captrum could have pushed against it if needed. And it
Speaker 2: was and you know, for a game called Infinite it
Speaker 2: sure wasn't because that game didn't selfish it. Yeah, Like
Speaker 2: they had like too two DLC characters and that was it.
Speaker 1: How do you like the that there's gonna be four
Speaker 1: before battles?
Speaker 2: I think that might. I don't. I don't see it
Speaker 2: as a problem per se, but I could see it
Speaker 2: being overwhelming because it's basically, you know, all four shoulder
Speaker 2: buttons are going to be the tagging, you know, and
Speaker 2: then you want to get the four four face buttons
Speaker 2: for attacks. And it's an art game, so you're not
Speaker 2: gonna have some funky ass system for like you know,
Speaker 2: or seeing or counter raine or entering the instakil Moo
Speaker 2: or whatever. So we'll see what happens one of.
Speaker 1: Those speaking of, since you know we were talking about Capcom, Hey,
Speaker 1: of all the things that I thought I didn't think about. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, them showing is Pragmata, Like we hadn't heard
Speaker 1: about Pramada since that the initial showcase and then here
Speaker 1: it is, uh, and it's it's almost kind of like
Speaker 1: a dad game with an AI daughter instead. But like,
Speaker 1: do you think I don't really remember that much about
Speaker 1: what I remember what they showed to the original trailer
Speaker 1: was like some spaceman going in space, and I don't
Speaker 1: even know if they showed the girl at all in
Speaker 1: the original trailer, and then we never heard of it again.
Speaker 1: And then now they're showing the role our girl that
Speaker 1: could do hacks and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: And like they did show the girl in the original trailer,
Speaker 2: they didn't really show the guy though. That's a funny thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was.
Speaker 2: He looked more like a robot, not just do you know,
Speaker 2: this actually had him like showing him off a little. So, uh,
Speaker 2: I think looks neat. It looks very much like uh,
Speaker 2: it looks like a Stellar Blade sequel kind of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see the same.
Speaker 2: Like architecture or you know, near future stuff, but yeah,
Speaker 2: might be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm kind of more into it now
Speaker 1: after I've seen it, Like, it's definitely one of my
Speaker 1: favorites in the show.
Speaker 2: But they really got to do though, and Capcom is
Speaker 2: occasionally a fan of doing crossovers. Uh it's when Pragmatic
Speaker 2: comes out, come come out with a Megan DLC pack
Speaker 2: or you know, yeah, like full voice acting or you know,
Speaker 2: and everything, charge like five or ten bucks and you're
Speaker 2: like here you go.
Speaker 1: Right, you wanna uh this is uh, this is what
Speaker 1: it is. How long did it take you to figure
Speaker 1: out that it was a Suit of fifty one game
Speaker 1: the Romeo is a dead man?
Speaker 2: Uh about ten seconds in.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Once once dude jammed on the uh cybernetic thing into
Speaker 2: his the other guy's eye, I'm like, yep, yeah.
Speaker 1: When he like started king up kind of like and
Speaker 1: it looked like kind of mad World a little bit
Speaker 1: or whatever, i was like, oh, this is Suda. It
Speaker 1: was like. And then of course at the end they
Speaker 1: show the Grasshopper manufacturer thing and I'm like.
Speaker 2: Also the gameplay when they're in the when he like
Speaker 2: the guy's in the mall and it looks like the
Speaker 2: backgrounds are from Dead Rising one for the three, Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, well, a lot of normar Hero was in there too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Suita, Like you can tell this done
Speaker 2: and the cheap.
Speaker 1: And I love how he he still thinks he's cool.
Speaker 1: We're in the jacket. He never he never changes. Gotta
Speaker 1: love the guy definitely. Uh surprised there. I'm glad to
Speaker 1: see that that game exists. Uh so you know, we
Speaker 1: got another digibon Times Stranger trailer, so I'm always down
Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: We got to release date as well, October third. Definitely
Speaker 1: gonna be uh snapping that up. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: somebody is, I'm gonna have to look into that. Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was must be happy about the new afterbat crap.
Speaker 1: The Oh yeah, I haven't touched it really since the
Speaker 1: last thing I played was the Christmas addition. It's like
Speaker 1: I haven't touched it like this year really, so I
Speaker 1: kind of go back to it. But they are getting
Speaker 1: new levels, so that's cool. I always glad to see
Speaker 1: that getting an addition. Uh, Ninja Guy and Range Brown
Speaker 1: got a trailer that looks freaking awesome. I can't wait
Speaker 1: for that to come out. That's the only thing not
Speaker 1: coming on in September October. It feels like July thirty
Speaker 1: first for that thing. Hirogami looked really cool. The origami
Speaker 1: looking indie game from the Vandaio Singapore team that looks
Speaker 1: really great. Also sort of uh sort of the sea
Speaker 1: looks great too, And that's gonna be day one on
Speaker 1: PS plus. Uh, happy to hear that as well, because
Speaker 1: I love the Pathless so definitely, and of course for
Speaker 1: me number one, the surprise, Uh, the tactic screenmaster is
Speaker 1: real and it's there, and it's fom pacy tactic screenmaster.
Speaker 1: It's that that looks like somebody put a emulation, uh
Speaker 1: kind of filter on it or whatever. For the you know,
Speaker 1: remaster version.
Speaker 2: I think it actually looks kind of bad like the
Speaker 2: remastered version, you know. I like the chunkier look of
Speaker 2: the original. Oh you do okay, Yeah, like just kind
Speaker 2: of yeah like Smeard bacheline on the remaster, except for
Speaker 2: I think the remaster has a turn gauge for like
Speaker 2: a turn thing in the last took. That was nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad they added that. I'm just excited to
Speaker 1: be able to play this again. And for our people
Speaker 1: that have not experienced this, it's awesome that it does exist.
Speaker 1: No Fall Fantasy nine remake, so that's still the only
Speaker 1: thing from the Nvidia League that has not shown itself,
Speaker 1: although maybe Xbox still has that in the bag somewhere.
Speaker 1: Since you know, Sony's all or not spraying is all
Speaker 1: about doing the multi platform thing now, could very well
Speaker 1: be a kind of like, hey, we extended the Olive
Speaker 1: brands all the way there. Interesting that they call it
Speaker 1: the Evilase Chronicles. I thought for a moment that maybe
Speaker 1: that meant that they were going to include the GBA games,
Speaker 1: and then they did not. But it's because they have
Speaker 1: the It's it's cool that they have the full original
Speaker 1: version and then also the remaster. So that's why they're
Speaker 1: charging fifty bucks for this. I think that's fair. It's
Speaker 1: a little bit too much.
Speaker 2: I think it's fine. You know, I imagine they may
Speaker 2: add more shit into the remastered version, ah, you know,
Speaker 2: like maybe some extra missions or some goofy you know,
Speaker 2: you can you can add you can recruit you know,
Speaker 2: sore dur or something. So right, but sure, why not?
Speaker 2: I mean it's better than I look at the collectors edition.
Speaker 2: It's two and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a lot.
Speaker 2: And my friend immediately bought it or you know, pre
Speaker 2: ordered it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm excited. I will definitely picking that up
Speaker 1: day one. But man, a lot of stuff September on
Speaker 1: October here.
Speaker 2: And I picked up Neo three.
Speaker 1: No. I'm sure Yen's is probably excited about Neo three.
Speaker 2: No, because well I didn't ask, but he didn't really
Speaker 2: like Neo one or too much, so that game was
Speaker 2: too hard for him.
Speaker 1: So there is a demo out for Neo three, so
Speaker 1: you can go play that if you want as well.
Speaker 1: Cool announcements in there too.
Speaker 2: The one that kind of interests me. It really depends
Speaker 2: in the games they add for it though, is more
Speaker 2: to Combat Legacy Collection.
Speaker 1: Well, you definitely know for sure you're getting the one
Speaker 1: through four and three Ultimate, and then they said there's more.
Speaker 2: So I mean what everyone wants is Shoalwin Monks.
Speaker 1: Oh man, damn, I might have to if Shlon Monsk
Speaker 1: has had it, I might really.
Speaker 2: Imagine Shin Monks and then always has an online call
Speaker 2: up as well.
Speaker 1: Oh so awesome. Yeah, I'm still sad that that game
Speaker 1: never got a sequel, right, but yeah, man, there there
Speaker 1: was a lot. There was some really good announcements in here.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we don't like go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the one VR game they showed that VR
Speaker 2: like not terrible.
Speaker 1: I thought of you. When they showed the Thief VR,
Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder what more.
Speaker 2: I just looks like an actual good use of like
Speaker 2: a franchise with VR on like another game and the
Speaker 2: other and the other thing we'll talk about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Tizz of Tomorrow game also looked good too,
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, like we kind of now we know
Speaker 1: why there was that one game that was being rumored
Speaker 1: for it that wasn't here. Uh is not But man
Speaker 1: aside from that not being there, you know, everything else
Speaker 1: they show was good, even someone Hill f So I
Speaker 1: didn't like that at all.
Speaker 2: I just felt the kind of boring. But I'm sure
Speaker 2: for some fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Randy said he's happy to see it, but he's
Speaker 1: also worried because you know, most of Summon Hill games
Speaker 1: are not as well received as that. To remake was
Speaker 1: so all right, we'll see. But moving on to Summer
Speaker 1: Game Fest itself, what is there to say about Summer
Speaker 1: Game Fest?
Speaker 2: It wasn't great.
Speaker 1: I think the introduction to Summer Game Fest tells you
Speaker 1: everything you need to know from the beginning. It is
Speaker 1: essentially Jeff kind of tempering your expectations. That Hey, just
Speaker 1: letting you know. The number one game that's sold right
Speaker 1: now is Repo and it is an indie game. It's
Speaker 1: not you know, Monster hundred Wilds or some other you know.
Speaker 1: Other night Ring was like number ten on there, and
Speaker 1: then like, what is it that other indie game that's
Speaker 1: like number four on there section one or something like that,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I get it. You know, any games
Speaker 1: are actually carrying this year. Let's not kid ourselves.
Speaker 2: They are.
Speaker 1: He talked about player obscure for a little bit there
Speaker 1: as well, But then after you get done watching this showcase,
Speaker 1: now you see it's not just the kind of there
Speaker 1: was a theme going around where they talked about the
Speaker 1: size of the team or whatever, and it felt like
Speaker 1: this is kind of them telling you this is kind
Speaker 1: of where gaming is gonna be headed. Get Ready, you're
Speaker 1: gonna see games are gonna be made by smaller teams.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be you know, smaller experiences. And that's fine.
Speaker 1: But I think also you kind of got the reverse
Speaker 1: side of that, where it's like, this is it. We're
Speaker 1: getting sequels to things that probably shouldn't get sequels, and
Speaker 1: they're you know a lot of the same type of
Speaker 1: game over and over, and it's like, ooh, you know,
Speaker 1: if you had the pick of the litter of indie games, man,
Speaker 1: this is the best you could do. It ended really strong.
Speaker 1: The last two games were awesome, but man, like Mortal
Speaker 1: Shell two is the opener, Like, you know, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know, I barely I didn't even play the first one,
Speaker 2: or you know, it's like and it felt like there
Speaker 2: were like a lot of soul's ass looking games in
Speaker 2: that thing, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, it's like, Okay, souls games are the number
Speaker 1: one genre right now, We've got to make sure we
Speaker 1: have a lot of those. We got to have a
Speaker 1: lot of gotcha games because well, those are the ads.
Speaker 1: And then also we got to have a lot of
Speaker 1: those because those are the free to play things that
Speaker 1: are actually doing well right now, not the other you know,
Speaker 1: games of service stuff that's not doing that hot or whatever.
Speaker 1: But what did you think of Obviously you got the
Speaker 1: huge announcement of residuebal nine after they fake this out twice.
Speaker 1: Uh Aside from that, it's kind of a really disappointing
Speaker 1: well and stranger didn't heaven, But yeah.
Speaker 2: I picked I tried to pick five thing to meet
Speaker 2: showcase and is really easy with summary gamefest it wasn't.
Speaker 1: I agree, it wasn't.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a problem of that thing was like
Speaker 2: too long and then like a lot of it just
Speaker 2: kind of melded together for me, I agree, like at
Speaker 2: least two games that I gotta say, I don't like
Speaker 2: that one Cartoon Rat Game or the Mouse Game at all.
Speaker 2: I didn't like visually, and I think it looks really
Speaker 2: really bad.
Speaker 1: I mean it's the same visual style of Shovel Night
Speaker 1: really no, no.
Speaker 2: The first person shooter one uh or let's you know
Speaker 2: scheh that okay?
Speaker 1: That is that seems like it was made in the
Speaker 1: same style as like Billy and the Rainbow something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like they're trying to go for the
Speaker 2: cuphead vibe kind of is that definitely definitely works better
Speaker 2: a platformer than just an ugly as can first person shooter.
Speaker 1: You're talking about a.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one? Yeah, the other one that looks really
Speaker 2: terrible to me, let me find the name of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it didn't look like a game would be
Speaker 2: that way. It was felt that boxing.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that I love that. That's great.
Speaker 2: It looks like a I mean, it's an FMV boxing game,
Speaker 2: but it.
Speaker 1: Has Muppets and it looks awesome.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man playing XMV game for years, you know,
Speaker 2: like then just going like hey has Muppet or you know,
Speaker 2: it's like where's Gregg the Bunny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jeff was definitely happy about that one to get
Speaker 1: the show that he has a Muppet game and here
Speaker 1: after all these years were having the Muppets.
Speaker 2: So on the game awards, uh, the one game so
Speaker 2: I picked, like, yeah, Resident Evil and Stranger than Heaven
Speaker 2: or like number two, one and two in my list.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I thought Jurassic World Evolution three decent, like I won't
Speaker 2: play it, but looked okay, I looked a little more
Speaker 2: action packed and like the past to you. Ah, I
Speaker 2: thought Lego Party looked really neat, but I have one
Speaker 2: hundred percent now they're gonna fuck out the online somehow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lego Party could give mar Party run for its money.
Speaker 1: Like they have just as many mini.
Speaker 2: Games, you know, No, Lego not Lego Party. What's the
Speaker 2: other Lego one?
Speaker 1: Lego Voyages, the one that's a two player co op
Speaker 1: that's that.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, sorry, it was like a Voyages. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: that's one. Like me, I don't care Lego Party. Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 2: I just know they're gonna mess it up somehow. And
Speaker 2: the other game that looked I thought it looked really
Speaker 2: neat and it reminded me of the canceled prey game
Speaker 2: like the Interstellar Bounty. Out of Anyone was a Tomic two.
Speaker 1: Did you play Atomic Art one?
Speaker 2: No? Just fine, it's the second Strike? Second Strike? Was
Speaker 2: that song they using the trailer?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And the Third Strike is what Jeff said right after
Speaker 2: when he's like, oh, it's a spiritual sequel to Tomic
Speaker 2: Art one. What the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Can you be a spiritual successor.
Speaker 2: To game like the number one game next?
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, exactly, And then they have the like
Speaker 1: it's an m M O F p s. It's also
Speaker 1: in the same universe as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah the Cube, Yeah, the Cube.
Speaker 1: It's like that. That's what I was referencing when I
Speaker 1: said I don't know if there should be sequels to
Speaker 1: games that they didn't need to have sequels, but you know,
Speaker 1: if if if Monfest wants to give it a second try,
Speaker 1: and maybe Atomic Art two will get a better shake.
Speaker 1: I imagine they're not going to do game Pass again,
Speaker 1: because if I remember, he didn't have a lot of
Speaker 1: nice things to say about game Pass because I think
Speaker 1: that's what it was. He I think he kind of
Speaker 1: sort of blamed game Pass because it allowed people they
Speaker 1: would have never played the game to play the game.
Speaker 1: And then you know, so uh, you know whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the Scott Pilgrim game looked not great.
Speaker 1: It's used in the same mart style with the Netflix show,
Speaker 1: and then it's the Scott Poker game. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't uh.
Speaker 2: I thought that the Knixtape game looked really bad personally.
Speaker 1: That's that's one of the ones I liked.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think like, I think it's visually like
Speaker 2: kind of neat until like because they're like, oh, it's
Speaker 2: supposed to be like not retro but like nostalgic or
Speaker 2: you know, you're like et or you know, like a
Speaker 2: Spielberg movie from the eighties or something, until you literally
Speaker 2: start flying like I was like, what is this?
Speaker 1: Well, remember it's made by the same people that made
Speaker 1: the Arpool Escape game. Yeah, so you know, it's very
Speaker 1: much in that vibe.
Speaker 2: All the kids and it seemed like assholes. So also
Speaker 2: I'm like, nope, Deadpool VR no.
Speaker 1: You know, Patrick harris Man, he did nail that he
Speaker 1: sounds a lot like Ryan Reynolds and and that.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he also voiced Max Max Hazard remember those. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess I guess him. I like Neil had yourro.
Speaker 2: It's not getting me wrong, but I mean like that
Speaker 2: game looks like not good.
Speaker 1: If there was, Okay, I will give him this, Like
Speaker 1: they picked the perfect character to have a VR game
Speaker 1: on like that You're getting to embody Deadpool and getting
Speaker 1: to experience him doing that and making the joke stuff.
Speaker 1: I think that can actually work. Well, I mean kind
Speaker 1: of sounds because it's like I don't I'm not buying
Speaker 1: the Manic Plus for that, but I would like to
Speaker 1: play that game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it depend on the writing. That's where a lot
Speaker 2: of this stuff kind of falls apart. Like it's the
Speaker 2: same thing if they did like a Spider Man VR game, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe I can see that. The Street Twighter six thing
Speaker 2: was pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Oh with Kenny Omega.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, uh yeah, that's about it. You know, a
Speaker 2: lot some of the stuff was just like, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: coming out soon, you know, like Liza p or uh
Speaker 2: you know that Manta games out in a few months, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh DLC is out right now. You can play
Speaker 1: that son A cross world. As surprised you didn't mention
Speaker 1: it is they're doing the U Smash Brothers Ultimate thing
Speaker 1: of let's bring in Well Mario Kart also did this
Speaker 1: with eight right they had link.
Speaker 2: And also Sonic has done this before as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but they are bringing an etchubbah a joker
Speaker 1: from Persona and.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, so from Minecraft.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I mean there was some previous Sonic racing one
Speaker 2: that had like uh from Channel five and Crazy Jaxi.
Speaker 2: So it's it's not like I just looked at it
Speaker 2: and I was like, yep, making another one that no
Speaker 2: one will care about. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the the the jab at Nintendo. But it's
Speaker 1: like yo, mayo, Kart World doesn't have cross play because
Speaker 1: it's only on intend it doesn't.
Speaker 2: And also like let's let's look at you know, way
Speaker 2: for Sonic to come out, but like let's look at
Speaker 2: both games in a year. Serious one is more popular online.
Speaker 1: Also is going to be on Switch. So what are
Speaker 1: you talking about?
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, but it is an intent. Is the mar
Speaker 2: game going to be more popular online? Or is the
Speaker 2: Sonic one that has four or five other consoles? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna bet as to Mario one, you know.
Speaker 1: Also he to me, it still came off a lot
Speaker 1: better than the stupid split Gate two. Uh taking jabs
Speaker 1: at Call of Duty and whatever like, Yo, that game
Speaker 1: is not even anywhere near as good as Call of Duty.
Speaker 1: So what do you saying? I want? I want a
Speaker 1: new Halo instead? Like, okay, you know that Halo game
Speaker 1: is still around, right, even though it's not popular, but
Speaker 1: still it's still around. It's not like Halo just died.
Speaker 1: So it's like, I don't know, the jokes didn't work
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: All excited for Code Vane too, which all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna ask you about that. What what
Speaker 1: did you.
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: So what did you? Uh? They really gave a lot
Speaker 1: for Stranger Stranger than Heaven obviously that's the probably century game,
Speaker 1: that original I p r GG Studio joint. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it looked awesome, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, uh, it almost looked to me in almost
Speaker 2: a kind of almost like sci fi ish in a way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like like to say, he's like a vampire or something.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I got.
Speaker 2: Out of that. I got more. He might be like
Speaker 2: in like a VR environment or you know, it might
Speaker 2: be something like that, but.
Speaker 1: Well, or that he has like powers or something. It's
Speaker 1: not like it didn't feel like, oh, he's he that's
Speaker 1: like his heat action or whatever. It felt like it's
Speaker 1: a little bit different than that.
Speaker 2: Right, maybe, But this is a consequence when you can't
Speaker 2: make a new Judgment game, you gotta make something else,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: But I mean that's I'm glad that they're making something different,
Speaker 1: Like they're not just resting on Yes, it's gonna have
Speaker 1: a lot of the same Yakuza vibes or whatever, but
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they can make something different and it's
Speaker 1: not just uh, going between the two constantly, right.
Speaker 2: Make a new Dead Souls game or make a new
Speaker 2: uh yeah, I think it was because the Dead Souls
Speaker 2: Zombie one. Make another one of those.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that they really haven't tried to do that
Speaker 1: or bring that back, especially considering that they could. They could,
Speaker 1: you know, make that kind of new and even add
Speaker 1: some like souls like stuff to.
Speaker 2: It or whatever, or make it like good.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like they could remaster it and
Speaker 1: and it make it good.
Speaker 2: I had functional fire fire arms controls, Yeah, so what
Speaker 2: I don't care about, uh, what was it that Game
Speaker 2: of Thrones game? They keep trying to make Game of
Speaker 2: Throne ship and no one cares.
Speaker 1: I will say that. I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 1: they modeled any of them or whatever, but the the
Speaker 1: character models for getting you know, all those actors again,
Speaker 1: like those are really good.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a part of the fest. But like I
Speaker 2: also don't care about and I like the show, don't
Speaker 2: get me wrong, but they keep trying to like they
Speaker 2: announce that new Expanse game as well, Yes, the future games, please, don't.
Speaker 1: You know they're going to keep trying to milk that
Speaker 1: until they also shout out to the Wu Tang Clan
Speaker 1: game that finally got announced after it's like leaked a
Speaker 1: while ago. Square Enix trying really hard to still do Look,
Speaker 1: I look, I get it again. I'm gonna say this
Speaker 1: every time. I get why companies have to do the
Speaker 1: live service thing, and I think this is actually kind
Speaker 1: of neat what they're doing, like trying to make like
Speaker 1: an action Knives out game or whatever. But it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, this is just gonna not probably go over.
Speaker 2: Well. The problem. The problem is it's like it's you're
Speaker 2: dealing with a bunch of other online people and they're
Speaker 2: they're just going to turn on each other or as
Speaker 2: quickly as possible. You can only have so many different scenarios,
Speaker 2: so it'll be like even if they sign it randomly,
Speaker 2: they're like, Okay, I know this one scenario because it's
Speaker 2: always like this one girl is a killer. So right,
Speaker 2: that's like another game that like I question how it's
Speaker 2: actually gonna like work in real life or working at
Speaker 2: in a practical setting of like just random people playing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, what did you think of? Oh, what
Speaker 1: is it a Mind's Eye that is finally coming out
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. You think the hates? So
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people hating on this game,
Speaker 1: and then there's see obviously people defending it. But it's like,
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the showcase, so I'm sure that they
Speaker 1: finally got to show like actual, like in depth gameplay
Speaker 1: of the thing, because they keep just but.
Speaker 2: I mean they've shown gameplay and a lot of the trailers.
Speaker 2: The problem is is that fucking song.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that too. That doesn't it doesn't go over
Speaker 1: well because it's like attached the iconic Gears thing. And
Speaker 1: then like anybody that uses it afterwards, right, you know.
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, there are more than two songs the
Speaker 2: problems at a time of Cards to trailer, they use
Speaker 2: that goddamn.
Speaker 1: Song Queen Don't Stop Me. Now, yeah, that's yeah, but
Speaker 1: why at least kind of made sense because of the
Speaker 1: way that that game.
Speaker 2: Is, so you know, sci fi game that doesn't make
Speaker 2: but you know, like it didn't make sense, and another
Speaker 2: recent game also used it, so.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, I can't think of it right now, but
Speaker 1: I do remember that.
Speaker 2: So it's like, yo, there are more than like five
Speaker 2: bands you can you can use music from right.
Speaker 1: One. One of the favorites for me is Getting to
Speaker 1: See Me of the Hollower again and it has a
Speaker 1: release date of Halloween. Happy didn't know that it might
Speaker 1: finally come out after they've been waiting all this time
Speaker 1: for it. That's the yacht club games like Zelda, like
Speaker 1: with the Mouse, the Good Mouse game, and then shout out.
Speaker 1: Also to the Acts of Blood that kind of looks
Speaker 1: like Seafood, but it's with a sold so dev is
Speaker 1: making it that look cool.
Speaker 2: Actually nine people instead.
Speaker 1: Also the out of Words that is like really good
Speaker 1: stop motion. Uh, the more traditional look of the stop
Speaker 1: motion not so much the one that which I liked
Speaker 1: a lot too, the one that's in sop of Midnight,
Speaker 1: But this is more like the traditional kind of look
Speaker 1: of stop motion. And then it has like like Brothers
Speaker 1: tell a two sons vibe with the two kids, So
Speaker 1: that one was really cool as well. I also I
Speaker 1: did like them up a game that you you didn't
Speaker 1: really care too much for. But obviously the big talking
Speaker 1: point of the show, the thing that saved the show
Speaker 1: honestly because they faked us out twice.
Speaker 2: They had.
Speaker 1: The actress that played uh, the lady Lady de Matreusk
Speaker 1: announced that there's a Capcom sale going on, and then
Speaker 1: they had to show up briefly before they had uh,
Speaker 1: the main Resident Evil guy talking to kind of tease
Speaker 1: you that Residuevil nine is not ready yet but it
Speaker 1: is being made right because Cacom I think they made
Speaker 1: mention of it in one of those like smaller things
Speaker 1: that they they do, but they've never outright said, oh,
Speaker 1: we're making Resident Evil nine, and it's always been room right.
Speaker 1: And then at the end, the big reveal is that
Speaker 1: Resident will Requiem is in fact Resident Evil nine and
Speaker 1: it's coming out February twenty seventh or twenty twenty six day,
Speaker 1: we're going back to Racoon the city.
Speaker 2: Yeah cool. I think it's funny to Tina into like,
Speaker 2: you know, one of the outbreakings and give the shit
Speaker 2: about you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah as Croft, like they I figured out. Once they
Speaker 1: said Ashcroft, I was like, oh, okay, this is President
Speaker 1: Will nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like, so I don't I was I'm not
Speaker 2: sure that game is going to be a first person
Speaker 2: or not like that. They didn't try any gameplay or
Speaker 2: even like Hintendate maybe first person we'll see.
Speaker 1: I think they're not showing gameplay because I think there's
Speaker 1: like Randy was, Randy was excited, like he was mad
Speaker 1: because he thought they were just going to do the
Speaker 1: fake out and then not show it. And then I
Speaker 1: told them, I was like, well, Jeff keeps mentioning scope
Speaker 1: with this game. I think it's definitely gonna be the
Speaker 1: open world thing that they keep they've kept rumoring. And
Speaker 1: he's like, oh god, I'm so sad if that's happening.
Speaker 1: He does not like the idea of whether even going
Speaker 1: open world.
Speaker 2: I know that's a complete wrong view.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, so you want I wasn't able to be
Speaker 1: open world.
Speaker 2: I mean I want to. I mean, look at so
Speaker 2: he's a big fan of Salent Hill, Like that's open world. Like,
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it. Well, they portray an open
Speaker 2: world kind of it's more like a Metroid veni acause
Speaker 2: you gotta find keys and ship to like open doors raw,
Speaker 2: but I think it. Yeah, it can lead to a
Speaker 2: lot of more more emergent gameplay, or it's not just
Speaker 2: going from A to B two C. I mean, for
Speaker 2: some of that will be part of it, but it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: like it depends on how open it is, if it
Speaker 2: if it really is it's like Sound Hill or like
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of open like or the GTA
Speaker 2: or something where it's like, Okay, this is a big city,
Speaker 2: but there's only eight build eight building you can go
Speaker 2: inside of, Like that'd be boring to me. But if
Speaker 2: they actually build like a bombed out Raccoon city or
Speaker 2: like half of its falling apart and shit like that,
Speaker 2: that'd be cool.
Speaker 1: It also allows for you to have like the best
Speaker 1: of both worlds, because there was people that obviously you know,
Speaker 1: they love Village the four and then you can have
Speaker 1: the actionity sections, and then you can have the more
Speaker 1: like traditional resident Evil sections that are like the survival Horror.
Speaker 2: Right, So this does a pretty uh like first person
Speaker 2: so it probably will be just a you know, village
Speaker 2: or whatever they yeah, yeah, or seven Yeah, which is fine.
Speaker 2: You know, I like that gameplay quite a bit.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we finally got the announcement, so that's cool.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Look, I think uh the few times like Kataku is
Speaker 1: is right after. Math also had a really good article
Speaker 1: about uh, Summer Game Fest and how it kind of
Speaker 1: is telling about the industry itself, about like this is
Speaker 1: kind of what's going to happen Summer Game Fest and
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of not great. They had Day of
Speaker 1: the Devs right after, and about like five or six
Speaker 1: of the games that were at Summer Game Fest were
Speaker 1: shown more in detail at Day of the Devs.
Speaker 2: Oh and I mean, David, that's just like, you know,
Speaker 2: how much deeper dive into certain games.
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm saying, like these are some of
Speaker 1: the highlights of Summer game fests, Like most of the
Speaker 1: time the indie games are not like the highlights of
Speaker 1: Summer Game Fest. It just kind of shows where we
Speaker 1: are now that like they're really having to depend on
Speaker 1: indie game to do this more because we can't have
Speaker 1: that many Triple A games anymore because it costs so
Speaker 1: much to make them.
Speaker 2: I didn't watch all of day of the days that
Speaker 2: I kind of skipped around a little. I thought I
Speaker 2: was I wouldn't say crass, but yeah, definitely, or you know,
Speaker 2: doing the comedic interludes, it's like, yeah, I mean, why
Speaker 2: aren't you making a game? Fat man? Come on?
Speaker 1: You know, like he might be Mark. We haven't had
Speaker 1: this Xbox showcase. Yeah, let's not like hate on him
Speaker 1: for that. I mean, you know, he's an Xbox studio now,
Speaker 1: so Xbox might not want him to show his game
Speaker 1: somewhere else.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, sorry, I just missed the double fine of
Speaker 2: your when they actually made games that a Steady Clips
Speaker 2: that I was taken four years to make.
Speaker 1: They they did mention that too, like one of the
Speaker 1: studios I think work with him right or whatever. But
Speaker 1: just to go through this really quick like mixtape was
Speaker 1: I both shows they we got a deeper dive mixtape.
Speaker 1: It looks really good on the second take when you
Speaker 1: got more of it, I think it looked better sort of.
Speaker 1: The c got a deeper take as well, which was
Speaker 1: shown at the State of Play that looked I'm excited
Speaker 1: for that as well. Come out in August. Big Walk,
Speaker 1: I thought, really got to showcase itself here. And if
Speaker 1: you're one of those sebol that loved the hangout and
Speaker 1: Chill games, this is totally the hangout and chill game
Speaker 1: with proximity chat where you could talk to your friends
Speaker 1: while y'all are literally walking around doing stuff. That's what
Speaker 1: this game is. They literally promoted as that, and I
Speaker 1: think that's cool that that kind of game exists, So
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's great. Blighted, which was also shown
Speaker 1: at the day of the devs or Summer Fest, is
Speaker 1: the next drink Box game. This one's much more like
Speaker 1: Nobody Saves the World again, so there's that, and it
Speaker 1: looks cool. It has a good art style and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. One of my favorites is the next outer
Speaker 1: Loop game, which they're the ones that made Thirsty Shooters
Speaker 1: and and Falcon ear h and this has like turn
Speaker 1: based battles and it's based off of like making food
Speaker 1: and things like that, and it looks really cool. Marvel
Speaker 1: Cosmic Invasion also got a which they revealed she Hulk
Speaker 1: and Rocket Raccoon at the Summer Game Fest, and then
Speaker 1: this got a deeper dive as well, so it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, I.
Speaker 2: Gotta say, I think the reason isn't like that Scott
Speaker 2: Bogram game or you know, I'm gonna getting burned out
Speaker 2: on all these like two D beat him ups.
Speaker 1: It's also made by the same people, by Tribute Games
Speaker 1: as well, so you know that might have not helped.
Speaker 1: Like I'm a side for the Marvel one, I'm not
Speaker 1: so excited for the Scott program because it's like it
Speaker 1: really does look like I know they're going to different
Speaker 1: areas and it looks bigger, I think, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: look that much different than the Scott Pilgrim game, you know,
Speaker 1: yeah previous. So there's that. Also an office finally coming out,
Speaker 1: the the RPG that any s Dollar j RPG that
Speaker 1: inspired Undertail, it's coming to seem to switch. It looks cool.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to play that in August fifteen when that
Speaker 1: comes out. So, and there was another game called Consume Me,
Speaker 1: which is like a life sim and it had this
Speaker 1: couple It's about the female dev that it's literally her
Speaker 1: life in high school and you're like helping her. She says,
Speaker 1: you're helping me get hot, but you're making the decisions,
Speaker 1: and it's like basically kind of teaching you about management
Speaker 1: and how crucial that is while also having like crazy
Speaker 1: comedy and stuff like that. And it's, uh, it's fun.
Speaker 1: It feels like it could be the next like Venda
Speaker 1: game that people get really behind as far as like
Speaker 1: a you know, like one of those like very prized indies.
Speaker 1: So and and also shout out to like a Latin
Speaker 1: American game, Never Weigh, which is like a horror RPG
Speaker 1: fantasy life sim so it's like the Fantasy Life Eye
Speaker 1: game that has actually gotten really good reviews, but with
Speaker 1: like a horror tinge to it. So yeah. Uh and
Speaker 1: that pat Upon Rataton game also got a deeper dive
Speaker 1: in this too.
Speaker 2: An actual Spiritual succequel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the Spiritual successor, Jeff, not not the
Speaker 1: sequel to Atomic Art unless they unless wasn't there a
Speaker 1: game not like, Okay, is bosshok two really a sequel
Speaker 1: to Bostock one? Ye? Yeah, okay, it's it's truly okay.
Speaker 2: It literally references five Shock one and even has ten
Speaker 2: characters in it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like unless there's something like like Bravely Default Too,
Speaker 1: where it's almost like, you know, a sequel but not
Speaker 1: a sequel, and it's more trying to like, oh this
Speaker 1: is like the reboot, but we're calling it too than Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: but that's not the vibe it gave off when they're
Speaker 1: doing the the trailers. So right, Yeah, but I mean overall,
Speaker 1: I thought Data That Does was really good. Some good
Speaker 1: stuff in here to go check out. It went by
Speaker 1: really quick. So yeah, this this always, you know, hits
Speaker 1: it for me as far as they have some of
Speaker 1: the good games. And Devolver did Devolver things, but they
Speaker 1: only showed off one game. It's called ball Pit, but
Speaker 1: it's ball cross Pit, and they had a really fun
Speaker 1: it's like ten minutes long. You can literally go watch it.
Speaker 1: It takes nothing, no time. It's a survival survival break
Speaker 1: brick base building survival game. Uh the break pick part
Speaker 1: is looks fun to me. I love break brick. I'm
Speaker 1: not a big base building person, but if it all
Speaker 1: kind of works cohesively together, I was kind of excited
Speaker 1: about that game by the time we got to the
Speaker 1: end of that thing. So yeah, you know, I think
Speaker 1: the Latin American Showcase is great. That that exists that
Speaker 1: never way got shown off at this again. Uh, and
Speaker 1: they had some some neat games in here. Nothing that
Speaker 1: I was like totally like, oh my god, I need
Speaker 1: to go play right now, but I do again, I
Speaker 1: just appreciate that these games exist. A lot of them
Speaker 1: have Steam demos. Steam neck Fest is going on right
Speaker 1: now too, by the way, So there was a lot
Speaker 1: of these games that got shown off at a lot
Speaker 1: of these showcases that have demos you can go play
Speaker 1: if you're interested in any of that stuff. And I didn't.
Speaker 1: I've only watched like half of Future Games shows. I
Speaker 1: can't really comment. I guess I'll talk about that on Monday.
Speaker 1: But that's that was my issue with Summer Game Fest.
Speaker 1: It felt like it was just a bigger version of
Speaker 1: one of these other showcases that we normally get during
Speaker 1: this time. It didn't feel like it stands on its own,
Speaker 1: right Ah. And I get it that Jeff, obviously, Game
Speaker 1: Awards is his baby, and that's where he really wants
Speaker 1: the huge banger after banger after banger, you know, showcase
Speaker 1: or whatever. But Summer Game Fest last year was really good.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Xbox was the best thing.
Speaker 2: But you know, I also two of the things. I mean,
Speaker 2: I checked this a little online with you, but like
Speaker 2: I didn't like the Kagema thingy much.
Speaker 1: I totally skipped that thing when I was watching it,
Speaker 1: Like and then, I mean he told you he was
Speaker 1: going to right, yeah, and then.
Speaker 2: It just felt like a lot of the showcases really
Speaker 2: like you know, no racing games, no sports games, not
Speaker 2: like not even a ton of like traditional platformers. It
Speaker 2: just felt like three or four genres you know, anime games, uh,
Speaker 2: disgusting games and you know.
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, there was so much body horror games
Speaker 1: in that thing.
Speaker 2: Like wow, it's just like a weird fetish for him
Speaker 2: now or you know what's going on. I mean, it
Speaker 2: just felt like very samey. So that's why I like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it was I think it was two hours,
Speaker 2: but it was two hours. Yeah, it seemed that it
Speaker 2: seemed longer. But then it also didn't seem like as
Speaker 2: important or you know, just nothing really popped out except
Speaker 2: like the last two things kind.
Speaker 1: Of yeah, I know what I mean. And and that's
Speaker 1: the thing is like he it almost felt like he
Speaker 1: really was he was really pining to kind of have
Speaker 1: to promote some of these games, like you could almost
Speaker 1: tell on his face, like what am I supposed to
Speaker 1: say about fractural blooms? Oh it's dopy, doky with silent hill. Okay,
Speaker 1: is it really?
Speaker 2: I like Lucy James a lot. I didn't like her
Speaker 2: hair in this thing at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's whatever that I don't care about that.
Speaker 2: I'm more curious, like like does he stork a game
Speaker 2: Spot or not?
Speaker 1: She does. She's just doing that like she's been doing
Speaker 1: hosting things. She did that, she did the panel for
Speaker 1: the Star Wars Strategy game, right, so it feels like
Speaker 1: that she's kind of branching out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing is I don't think. I don't
Speaker 2: think game Spot is gonna be lasting it a lot longer.
Speaker 1: I hate I hate to say I hate to see
Speaker 1: that because there's a lot of people I like that
Speaker 1: work at game Spot. But I could see like to
Speaker 1: more just go over to kind of funny honestly, something happens.
Speaker 2: Right like I think, I mean, I don't no, he
Speaker 2: listened like Jeff's podcast spot it, but like he's like
Speaker 2: spots on losing money for fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that was the whole point of like
Speaker 1: what they didn't know what to do with Giant Bomb,
Speaker 1: because like it's essentially doing a lot of the same
Speaker 1: stuff the game spot is, and they they need they
Speaker 1: felt like they had to keep GameSpot around because of
Speaker 1: the legacy of it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Also that mouth PI for higher game just seems to
Speaker 1: come out already.
Speaker 2: H That's what I'm talking about, Yeah, the Troy Baker, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen I don't know how many
Speaker 1: trailers for that game and they just keep showing it.
