Yeah, we had a good time in Seattle. 53 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.039 It was. It was a lot of fun. Mikey did 54 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.240 a pretty good job of holding up, considering he's been 55 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.319 traveling a lot more, just getting back from Germany. 56 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.520 But we saying I was cranky, but he forgives me. 57 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.840 Exactly see if you got a little craiky times. But 58 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.039 you know, he was like, you know, pretty good about it. 59 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.759 He realized, no, let's still have fun. It was great, okay. Yeah. 60 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.280 Was We didn't like, like take too many appointments and 61 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.400 things like that, though, so we were pretty smart with 62 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.199 our time. It was fun to like go on the 63 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.000 show floor a couple of times, but mostly, you know, 64 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.280 we did our panels. We saw some things from Nintendo 65 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:33.879 we'll be able to talk about later. I know a 66 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.439 bunch of people played this Elder demo we got a 67 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.400 longer demo, so we can't talk about that yet but soon. 68 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.240 So yeah, it was a successful trip. 69 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.479 Speaking about Mike being cranky in Nintendo now, we also 70 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.680 played well, Mario Party was on the show floor and 71 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:49.560 we can talk about much. 72 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.240 But you know the vague concept. 73 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.680 In the new Mario Party games, so you can like 74 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.240 play not just as like Mario luig you we can 75 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.879 play as like a goomba. 76 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:57.240 Right. 77 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.319 We were sitting down at one of the bars and 78 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.439 I was like, I don't like that you can play 79 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.080 as a goomb but I think you should only be 80 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.080 able to play as bespoke Mario characters with proper names 81 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:08.479 and just everyone. 82 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.919 He took a second, was like, is he being serious? 83 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:11.639 Just looked at me. 84 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.319 He's like, Mike, I'm glad that you're the way that 85 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.639 you are thinking about that a lot. 86 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.879 Since you you take a stand and you mean it. 87 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.439 I was I knew you meant it, but everyone else 88 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.319 was looking at you. Is he being serious? I'm like, yes, 89 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:26.839 he's being serious and I love it. 90 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.959 How do you feel about like shy guys in Mario Kart? Then, Mike, 91 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.120 you do you feel the same or did in Mario 92 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:34.680 Kart DS? 93 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.879 When it was specifically like, well, you don't own a 94 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.720 copy of this game, so you have to be a 95 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.959 shy guy because you're a second rate citizen. Yeah, Like, 96 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.360 just the idea of a shy guy is like a 97 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.839 person who play as no. Like, you know, if it 98 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.480 was like if there was a shy guy, shy guy 99 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.560 and he had like an identifying hat or monocle or something, 100 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.759 that'd be fine. But just the vague concept of shy guys, 101 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:57.920 it's not special enough. 102 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.319 This is Mike's video game class. If you own the game, 103 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.519 you get a named character. If you're just borrowing the game, 104 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.759 you are down there and you get the riff raft. 105 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:07.000 Yeah. 106 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.319 Mariocres a little different though, because like in the original 107 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.759 Mario Kart, you could just beat a Koopa, right, So 108 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.040 there's like a legacy there. 109 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:14.959 I guess, I guess I have to con see too. 110 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.560 What about Monty Moles. Monty Mole enough of a character 111 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:19.879 in Mario Party, because. 112 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.240 We did ask him a bunch. We asked about charging 113 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:26.560 Chuck rip Van fish bullets. Yeah, those sound like proper names, 114 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.680 but those are just specie names. Different. 115 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.199 There are many boy bills. 116 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:35.480 That's right, all right, all right, all right, great job 117 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.160 doing the panels.

Did 216 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.120 anybody what was that one that vandy Namco like released 217 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.960 a year ago? And uh it was at Summer Game Fest. 218 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.360 There was a guy with a big nose giving us 219 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.200 ice cream for it had park. It came out, and 220 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.480 I didn't we'll talk about it much. I don't know 221 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.440 Park beyond park beyond, what happened Park beyond beyond what 222 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:25.200 happened with that? It happened, it came out. Boys, let's 223 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.200 talk about video game. 224 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.720 Oh no, what? But did he push? 225 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.279 Yeah?

I don't know what. 227 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.200 Oh no, it's breaking for everybody. 228 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.279 No, no one can hear Jen. 229 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.120 I mean, he probably just tried to run a show 230 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.440 on these cursed machines. Now, they did just release an 231 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.200 open source coxer things, So I I hate to admit, 232 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.879 I'm gonna try to keep making it work incredible because 233 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.960 I'm broken. Apparently the fun thing when my headphone stopped working, 234 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.519 I was trying to like fix the doxor by like 235 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:08.399 you know, plugging it and plugging it back in, and 236 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.440 anytime I would move it, the whole thing would come 237 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.960 become disconnected. So I wonder if he's having a similar issue. 238 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:15.440 He looks very upset. 239 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.919 All right, we're gonna talk about video games, and the 240 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:23.000 podcast said, no, that's right, Dadpool Mike, so we can 241 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:23.600 can chat. 242 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.960 Hear us chat you hear me and grub right, let 243 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.200 us know, give us some young I think they can. 244 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:29.879 Yeah, they hear. 245 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.639 That's great, Mike.

Oh like when you do it? 267 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:42.120 Can you do it? 268 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.320 Like at the end of the teenage Ninja Turtles movie 269 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:48.120 where Casey Jones pushes the lever, goes oops and the 270 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:49.279 kills exactly. 271 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.360 I will fly you out there, Mike, just so we 272 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:52.759 can do it. 273 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.759 Oopsops. 274 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.440 What a great thing to say? Is you murder a person? 275 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:01.799 I love digital audio. 276 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.879 It's the best. It has never wronged me. Never once 277 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.200 I started a new started a new audio track, and 278 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.879 don't worry. We clapped because I thought about it video games. 279 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:16.679 I'm gonna I'm gonna subtly hit this button and hope 280 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:17.559 and pray. 281 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:19.919 Do a Should we just sing the song? Oh god, 282 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:20.279 I'm fraid. 283 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.480 Let's let's try it. Let's try it. Everyone ever close 284 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.919 your eyes, so let's hope it works. Oh there it is? 285 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:28.440 Oh thank god. 286 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.080 You know, actually, the second that go xlr stopped working 287 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.320 and the company kind of imploded within itself and everything 288 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:44.120 else started stopped working, that was actually my Dawn of Sorrow. 289 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.000 So I'm glad you two have been playing Dawn of Sorrow. 290 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.279 No, no, no, we talk about Concord for us. That's 291 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.960 a very good transition though. Okay, all right, Actually news. 292 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:53.720 There it is. 293 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:56.480 If we just. 294 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.120 Pushed that button from the beginning, it would have. 295 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.000 Been never would have broke it in the first place. 296 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:03.399 What's going on with Concord? 297 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.720 Yeah, it's things haven't been going great for Concord. I 298 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.320 don't know if you guys have heard I did have 299 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.799 a news story in here. Let's do that real quick. Hey, 300 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.559 Concord may have sold us few as twenty five thousand copies. 301 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.879 It has been claimed. That's from someone who like tracks 302 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:24.000 the industry and has a newsletter sent that out. Who 303 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.759 knows how accurate that is. But we were gonna say, 304 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.279 we're gonna talk about that, be like, hey, what can 305 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.360 they do here? What is the future of Concord? Is 306 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.480 this game in a lot of trouble? Well, Sony put 307 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.919 out its answer right away today, right before we went live. 308 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:42.440 They said, Hey, Concord will be shutting down on September sixth, 309 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.919 there will be no more Concord. In fact, they're going 310 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.960 to stop selling the game right now, which really makes 311 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:49.159 me want to go out to Best Buy and buy 312 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.960 a copylight. Marino did because I want a physical version, 313 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.360 but they're going to stop selling this game right now 314 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.559 and you won't be able to play in it any 315 00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.879 longer after the six So by the end of this 316 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.600 we basically and then they said in their blog on 317 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.279 the PlayStation news thing, they said, hey, we will be 318 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.039 looking at ways to bring it back, and like, well, 319 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.720 what people actually want from this game. So the suggestion 320 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.279 there maybe it will relaunch as a free to play 321 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.159 game down the line, but they're not explicitly saying that 322 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.679 there's a chance this game just never comes back, right. 323 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:25.159 I think it's just like with Artifact and like with Anthem, 324 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.759 you had these field launches and they're like, oh, maybe 325 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.639 it's gonna come back and back those like had actual 326 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.840 announced plans to come back, were concrete than this, and 327 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.000 it didn't. You know, I know, we always think about 328 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.360 foun Fantasy fourteen or Rainbow six Siege. There's you know, like, wow, 329 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.200 these games can't come back. Those examples are now old, 330 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.480 those examples no longer represent the modern gaming landscape. I 331 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.279 don't know if you actually can come back anymore. And 332 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.960 I think the issue, yeah, from this, I think the 333 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:58.639 issues with Concord were so fundamental. I don't expect it 334 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.240 to come back, and if it does come back, I 335 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.159 don't expect it to suddenly work just because it's a 336 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.200 free to play game or whatever else they do. 337 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:11.120 It is. It is scary, right it is. We talked 338 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.759 about it. We talked about when we were at PAX, 339 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:15.639 saying that we were like looking at this game and 340 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.399 like Dan was asking about it, being like, hey, what's 341 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.159 going on because it's never been his thing, and he 342 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.600 looked at it He's like, yeah, yeah, I don't know. 343 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:22.399 I just don't feel like playing it either. I kind 344 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.159 of get why people feel that way, and it's like, yeah, 345 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.159 that's how I feel. When after we played it a 346 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.720 little bit, Yeah there's sorry, good deal, no problem, Glad 347 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.480 you're back. It just seems like a game that cannot 348 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.799 I could not like work in any real way right now. 349 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.960 But you figured there was a time where this game 350 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:41.879 would just sell and we'd be able to find an audience, 351 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.279 and now we're so far removed from that that it's 352 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.840 kind of this is the only answer to like undo 353 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.519 it because it's just costing you money. It's scary, and 354 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.720 it makes me wonder, like, well these companies continue to 355 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.080 invest in games more broadly, obviously this way of doing 356 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:56.960 things is dead though. 357 00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:02.519 No, absolutely, and it's you know, trying to make money 358 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.440 in this industry is already difficult, and you have to 359 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.240 imagine if you're somebody who's you know, your decision is 360 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.759 where's money being spent? Alkoly maximized profits. Well, we get 361 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.680 to find trends. We had to chase trends. It's now 362 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.920 almost impossible to do that when a video game takes 363 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.200 eight years to make. Trends by their very nature have 364 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.480 a kind of defined place in time. Do you start 365 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.599 making a game eight years ago because Overwatch came out 366 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.039 and Hero shooters are a big deal, and live service. 367 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.680 Is the Guardian Galaxy was cool? 368 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.519 Yeah, right exactly, and like no, eight years later, like 369 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:37.559 a lot of that stuff that seemed like a trend 370 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.559 is now repulsive to people. It's a huge problem. You 371 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:43.400 can't chase trends anymore in this industry. 372 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.519 And that's been You're right, that's been the industry's backbone 373 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.839 from the beginning of hopping on trends. There were a 374 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.839 million Maize games after pac Man, there were a million 375 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.960 shooters after Space Invaders and Galagh and all that stuff. 376 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:57.880 There was a million things. 377 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.640 A million Doom Clue clones and then we had the 378 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.039 mob but TRN Yeah, exactly, it's just trend after trend 379 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:03.599 and if. 380 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.279 The indist you can't do that, what like, they're not 381 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.000 gonna get suddenly get more creative than they've been like that. 382 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:12.039 They don't that that's more scary than what they've been doing. 383 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.440 So what is the answer here? It continues to be like, Okay, 384 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.519 maybe we have to rethink everything. And these companies are 385 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.400 trying to grow fast after a long period of like 386 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.720 growing pretty steadily. It's not gonna be the answer is 387 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.839 just not out there waiting for them to discover it. 388 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:28.440 It's going to be a kind of a painful process, 389 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:29.400 and this feels part of it. 390 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.960 How much do you think PlayStation Sony internally may be 391 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.319 kicking themselves that they could have and maybe should have 392 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.000 just went with whatever the last of us multiplayer game 393 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:45.440 was supposed to be. I I'm like, yeah, I think 394 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:50.000 it's hard to overestimate how bad this must be for PlayStation. 395 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:54.359 They don't get to release very many games a year anymore. 396 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:58.039 Here's one that's not just missing, right, A game in 397 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:01.400 development for eight years, and I thought they're offering refunds. 398 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:02.839 It's like nothing has sold. 399 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.559 Now, not everybody's going to get a refund, but basically 400 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:09.799 zero money made a ton of money lost. Pardon me, 401 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:11.720 is like, man, they're gonna have to do anything they 402 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.440 can to make some money, maybe even including bringing back 403 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.200 the Last of Us multiplayer mode, because at least that'll 404 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.559 make some money. Right, we'll be able to live on 405 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:24.519 as some you know, super lucrative successful live service thing 406 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:28.200 for ten years. No, but people will buy something with 407 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.039 the words Last of Us on it. 408 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:35.880 How does also with that Amazon series, that anthology series 409 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.440 based off Video games Secret, there's a whole Concord episode planned. 410 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.119 Does that get scrapped too or does that just wind 411 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:42.680 up airing? 412 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:44.599 I mean, it seems like they already made it. I 413 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.039 mean it's it's been like post production, right, it's probably 414 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.039 editing phase, so I don't know, it probably still happens. 415 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:54.200 I mean, that would be some of the craziest loss 416 00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:57.160 media curiosity airs. And it's just kind of awkward. 417 00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:58.680 But like god, that. 418 00:19:58.839 --> 00:19:59.960 Is so it's weird. 419 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:04.319 There's just this episode about Concord obviously made as kind 420 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.440 of like a money deal as part of getting the 421 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.599 other PlayStation brands, right, because there's that whole PlayStation Universe 422 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.799 episode as part of that. 423 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:16.400 Wow, I did this test with you, Mike, Jan and Chad. 424 00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:20.160 I mean you could give him a second answer. What 425 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:22.960 is the name of Jade Raymond's game though? Is that 426 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.759 this is the fire Spray one? Or was this fire 427 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.359 Spray but Jade Raymond's game that she's making with Sony 428 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.480 it's the other shooter. Do you remember the name of that? 429 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.240 Okay, it's not. Then it's not Marathon. It's not Marathon. 430 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.480 Jesus age christ. I can only think of the Star 431 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.839 Wars game and was that Jade Raymond? 432 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.119 This one is fair Games. 433 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:47.799 Fair That's what it was called. Oh, was this an 434 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:48.920 extraction shooter too? 435 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.119 This it's like adjacent, it's all part of that like 436 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.279 miasma of live service shooter stuff that's like picking out 437 00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:57.480 of a hat like different things. 438 00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.920 Right now it's looking like Concord. 439 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.680 Yes, I mean that's like we couldn't. No one can 440 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:04.960 remember the name of this thing that's coming along too. 441 00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:08.000 It's got to be so scary to be in that situation, 442 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.000 looking at this happening and be like, do we need 443 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:14.920 to preemptively change what we're even making here to make 444 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.200 it feel like it has a better shot. Like I 445 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.240 would be on my heels instead of on my toes 446 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.039 attacking all the best parts of our game, trying to 447 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.279 make those as great as possible. I would be doubting 448 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:28.519 everything because it's not like Concord with some team's whim 449 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.960 like this got approval all of up and down the chain. 450 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:33.559 Everyone is as guilty here at Sony across the board, 451 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:35.480 and you know, guilty as in they did something wrong. 452 00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:37.920 I don't mean it that way, but responsible for the 453 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.680 situation as it is right now. And so all those 454 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.960 same people said yes to fair games and yeah, it's 455 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.880 got it's going to be rough for that as well. 456 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:50.839 And then at the same time, this story's not done. 457 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.920 I think that there will be like prices to pay 458 00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:57.839 at Sony for this miscalculation. And I mean, it's very 459 00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:59.440 likely that the team that made the game is going 460 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:01.759 to pay it here pretty soon. So just kind of 461 00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.200 it's scary stuff. It sucks. 462 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.319 That's the thing that sucks is that it's not like 463 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:10.079 the team specifically set out to try and ape and 464 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:13.440 Overwatch or a hero shooter, like you said, Grub, that 465 00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:16.599 decision got towed up and down that line. 466 00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:18.559 Right they do the things that get approval, right, you 467 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:21.440 just say, hey, this has worked, we'll do it again. 468 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.559 That's why trends happen. And so we'll do it again, 469 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:26.039 and we'll just do in our game, and we'll put 470 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:27.880 our own mix on it, and you know what, we'll 471 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:30.440 put the extra sony sauce on top. We're gonna make 472 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:35.160 it very narrative heavy. We'll have new motion captured cinema 473 00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.720 sequences every single week, and people will like just get 474 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.480 so attached to these characters. And that's you know, we 475 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.200 know that's risky. 476 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:43.799 Hey, it told us we were gonna get a test, right, 477 00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:45.440 they told us how much we're gonna love those characters. 478 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:47.400 And in the meantime, they're spending a ton of money 479 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.200 on that side of things. And I feel like that 480 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:51.880 is the side that just flopped the hardest regardles. I mean, 481 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.480 it feels like the whole thing people just don't want 482 00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.920 this game. But that side flopped the hardest and was 483 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.839 the most expensive. It just was a miscalculation top to bottom. 484 00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.440 I don't see a world where it feels like a 485 00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.319 safe and smart idea to create a new, brand new 486 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.359 IP from the ground up, touting all of these like 487 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:16.039 fantastical new characters you're gonna get attached to when our 488 00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:20.000 introduct like our initial introduction through that trailer, whenever that 489 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:23.440 came out, is just like, oh, this is like Bad 490 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:24.680 Guardians at the Galaxy. 491 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:27.920 And I mean part of me is like, if you 492 00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:30.079 tell me, hey, we're working on a Bad Guardians of 493 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:32.119 the Galaxy, I'm like, I bet you can have some 494 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.359 fun with that. Go go do that. Maybe that might work. 495 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.480 People might enjoy that and make me like unironically and 496 00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:42.119 partially ironically, but that's fine. Shooters can work in that space. 497 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.119 And yet I think the prevailing feeling is nothing. People 498 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:50.720 feel nothing about the game. And yeah, these companies are 499 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.799 going to rethink investments across the board here. They are 500 00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.400 going to not just this is not just going to 501 00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.119 hurt the investment in live service games. It is going 502 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.119 to make this doubt every single bet that they're making, because, 503 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.599 as Mike pointed out, they're taking longer than ever, So 504 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.440 anything that it feels kind of okay right now could 505 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.319 feel completely outdated by the time it comes out and 506 00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.400 they're like, well, why are we even making games? At 507 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.400 a certain point, I think it's gonna get asked way 508 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.079 more frequently than I already was. At these companies that 509 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:18.720 are making one or two games a year. 510 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.119 I feel like the safer bet if and I keep 511 00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:25.759 saying the unsharted multiplayer thing, but like, hey, I don't know, 512 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:28.240 you have an IP with a bunch of guns already, 513 00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.680 with Ratchet and Clank, you could easily slot those characters 514 00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.000 into some type of hero shooter that's at least some 515 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:39.480 brand recognition, IP recognition, PlayStation Battle All Stars two but 516 00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.799 with guns. 517 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.880 Yeah, I think even those like aren't safe bets anymore 518 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.480 at this point, right, I mean, gosh, it's just who 519 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:51.440 knows what's gonna work. And I mean the whole live 520 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:54.519 service bet was already wild because we're already seeing the 521 00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:58.000 problem that it turns out that they're most people still 522 00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.319 are just happy to play Fortnite Her or Call of 523 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.400 Duty war Zone from now until the end of time, 524 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.720 and sometimes something does pop off. They got so lucky 525 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.359 that hell Divers too did pop off. All right, we 526 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:13.519 did it. Wow, one of these actually became a success. Yeah, 527 00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:16.160 and so what it didn't solve anything because here's the 528 00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:18.880 next one, and it's a bigger flop than that even 529 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:19.799 was a success. 530 00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.839 So where are we yep. 531 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:29.039 I think the next step here is probably these studios 532 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.079 that they've brought on are probably going they're gonna probably 533 00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:35.279 gonna be pretty scrutinized after this. And I mean I've 534 00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:36.880 said it every time, I'll just say it again. Jim 535 00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:38.799 Ryan got out, and it was good to get out 536 00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:41.160 when he did, because he does have to deal with 537 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:43.839 any of the ramifications of these choices that were made. 538 00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:46.519 And I basically got out when they were at the 539 00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:50.079 tippy top for PlayStation and now I like, you know, 540 00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.640 it's doom and gloom right now. These conversations often go 541 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.519 this way where you know, we see what happened, we 542 00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:58.039 see why it happened, and we extrapolate to the worst 543 00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:00.440 case scenario. Obviously we're doing a little bit a little 544 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.519 bit of that right now. There will be something that 545 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:05.720 does break through and sort of breaks the stranglehold that 546 00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.240 these live app that live service games have on the 547 00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:12.200 industry right now. It's just for a while there. I assumed, okay, well, 548 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.960 PlayStation Microsoft, to a certain extent, they would be well 549 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:18.920 positioned to take advantage of that. Wants that breaks. Now 550 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:20.799 it feels like they're going to be so burned on 551 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.400 this Stove that they are going to limit their investments 552 00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:27.720 going forward, and it will require like some other disruptor 553 00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:29.960 maybe to kind of come in and maybe in the 554 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:32.720 PC space on Steam, Early Access went once again to 555 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:35.559 set a new trend that is maybe easier to follow, 556 00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.160 and these companies will have to rethink how they chase trends. 557 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:40.599 Like the reason Epic was able to do Fortnite is 558 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:42.599 they just made it a mode in the game they 559 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.400 were already making, and that was free to play and 560 00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:46.400 it was everywhere and it was easy for them to 561 00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:50.720 do that. Maybe a whole standalone, triple A game version 562 00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:53.400 of these live service shooters is just never going to 563 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:53.920 happen again. 564 00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:58.720 It feels the whole idea just feels so foolish. Like 565 00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:00.839 I'm thinking of like the shooter is that I personally 566 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.000 am into or have some interest in, and it's pretty 567 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.920 much just fort Fortnite and some adjacent interest in Black 568 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.599 Op six And is I don't know. Do I like 569 00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:12.680 Fortnite because it plays very well and it's easy to 570 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:14.839 jump into a game with y'all and we're nothing but 571 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:17.359 winners when we play, Or is it because like oh, 572 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:22.599 now Cyclops is available, or they're catering to specific ip. 573 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:24.319 And it doesn't matter. Like that's the answer is it 574 00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:27.200 doesn't matter. They have the juice. And if your game 575 00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.640 is adjacent close to getting the juice but still doesn't 576 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.279 have it, well okay, that's fine, but now you still 577 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.319 have this mountain to climb of relevancy that there's just 578 00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.920 no chance of doing that right now, not as some upstart, 579 00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:43.039 and especially or not even with Sony, let alone some 580 00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:44.240 upstart being able to do that. 581 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.960 Like I remember battle Bit Remastered or battle Bit Reborn 582 00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:52.319 last year, just like yeah, absolutely blowing up. And that's 583 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.640 not a new idea. They're just making Battlefield all over again. 584 00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:58.559 Right, that's like the gurgling of like understanding that these 585 00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:02.000 smaller teams are looking to fill the niches that have 586 00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.839 been vacated by these bigger companies, and that's happening simultaneously 587 00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:11.440 with a lot of experimentation. But Sony's place in that, 588 00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:13.759 Microsoft's place in that, like how do they fit in 589 00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:16.839 and making those kinds of games honestly might just be Hey, 590 00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:19.119 maybe we acquire one of those companies down the line 591 00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:21.319 and that's all we're good for. Because that's right now, 592 00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:22.480 that feels like all they're good. 593 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.559 For Sony is too big now to pivot quickly at all, 594 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:29.359 Like a pivot would have had to been made three 595 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.119 four years. 596 00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.279 Ago, right, and where do you pivot to? I mean, 597 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:36.160 for as much grief as Microsoft deserves right now for 598 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.880 kind of mishandling things with Xbox. To a certain extent, 599 00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:41.640 they did try to do something like a big move 600 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.200 that wasn't chasing a trend, well, not a trend in 601 00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.119 video games in terms of having games having game pass 602 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:50.400 and this is like a new idea and that hasn't 603 00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:52.680 really fully worked out either. So it's like whether these 604 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:54.880 companies are trying something that doesn't feel like it's chasing 605 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.440 a trend, or if they are just chasing trends to 606 00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:01.240 be safe. Everything is risky. Companies are already so risk 607 00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:04.039 adverse that it just is there's there's going to be 608 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:05.799 further ramifications. 609 00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:10.440 Here, Marathon betterhead, Ah, gentlemen, I hate to break it 610 00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:10.640 to you. 611 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:16.000 Yeah, it's it's gonna it's gonna be rough. I don't 612 00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:17.880 know anything else to say about concord or should we 613 00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.440 should we do the rest of the news, jan how 614 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:20.119 do you want to do this? 615 00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:22.599 Let's do the rest of the news. 616 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.440 Yeah, they're still rough here, Concord. It's just so surprising, 617 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:27.839 just so fast. 618 00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:31.200 Do you guys see that there's that new Maarin Luigi 619 00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:33.720 Brothership trailer and like the name of the place they 620 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:35.720 go to in that game is called con. 621 00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.000 A Cease and Desist. Is actually what happened to Concord there, probably. 622 00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.160 Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah, I was sabotaged by Nintendo. 623 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:43.960 Mike, you did mention. I don't know if I said 624 00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:46.559 it as part of the Concord story. People are getting refunds, 625 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:47.920 So if. 626 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:51.599 Yeah, people are getting refunds that, I mean, you know, gosh, 627 00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:53.799 you imagine most people will. But god, that's just insane, 628 00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.880 Like eight years of development on this game for just 629 00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.920 no potentially no sales, zero, complete. 630 00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:02.799 Like explosion in their face experiment is what it feels like. 631 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:06.279 It's and I think it's easy to play fingers and 632 00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.119 just say make the game better, but it's like, god, 633 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.160 so many mediocre games do much better than this in 634 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:13.960 this game, is I think, Okay, yeah. 635 00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.319 No it's not. 636 00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:18.000 It's not a terrible game, it really isn't. But how 637 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:19.599 do you find an audience? How do you make a 638 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:21.960 good first impression? And you know, we talked about before, 639 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:24.400 but it's not as an addict that as people are 640 00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:26.319 looking for reasons to hate games, and there's a little 641 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:28.359 bit of like some I think there is like a 642 00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:30.559 bit of that mom and tality where sometimes we kind 643 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.279 of pick games and they kind of become our wicker 644 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.480 man's sacrifice, right, We kind of turn him into the 645 00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.920 the uh kind of low cow right in some sense, 646 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.920 And that happened to Concord a bit, and boy, how 647 00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:46.559 do you avoid letting that happen to your game? 648 00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:48.480 Because that is the worst possible thing that. 649 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:50.519 Yeah, I mean, it feels like the wolves are out 650 00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:53.160 a little bit like kind of not wanting to spend 651 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:55.680 money and looking for reasons to get everybody whipped up 652 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.599 to be like, hey, these companies aren't giving us what 653 00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:00.279 we want and when they do, it's too expensive, and uh, 654 00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:04.119 those there's truth to those criticisms. Uh, but occasionally it 655 00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:06.400 will come down to one game really getting the brunt 656 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:06.640 of that. 657 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.000 How long did battle Borne last? 658 00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:10.559 Longer? 659 00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:15.480 I think longer than this, longer than this. Yeah, But 660 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:17.720 it's funny because like Battleborn's whole thing was that it 661 00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:20.279 was sort of a you know, first person shooter mix 662 00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:22.559 of a Moba and that's you know what Valve's new 663 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.039 game is really, right, Yeah, there is Juice and idem 664 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.440 you know, it seems like Deadlock's gonna be new. There's 665 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:32.279 gonna you know, Marvel Rifles is probably gonna do well enough, 666 00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:35.119 like there are going to still be lasts games that 667 00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:35.680 do come out. 668 00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:38.160 And yeah, well I saw some folks in chat bring 669 00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:42.039 up the Gundam Breakers, which was Gundam's version or Bandai's 670 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.000 version of like a hero shooter featuring Gundam, and I 671 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.599 just and that didn't last. I think that lasted about 672 00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:50.519 a year or so. But I don't think that audience 673 00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:54.079 specifically that is super duper heavy into Gundam is necessarily 674 00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:55.680 hankering for a hero shooter. 675 00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.240 Yeah, and you will be able to be broader, the 676 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:00.240 broader appeal that. 677 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.960 Yeah, And I think that's why a game like Marvel 678 00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:07.119 Rivals will be able to sustain itself, because of the 679 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:08.680 Marvel freaks out there. 680 00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:09.599 Myself included. 681 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:10.880 That's right. 682 00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:13.559 Nikki literally ran out while we're doing this and just 683 00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:17.839 posted a picture of them with their copy. Incredible. 684 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:20.039 I can't. 685 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:20.960 I am fucked. 686 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:24.039 I'm gonna I'm gonna order one on our break. I 687 00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:29.400 think all right, let's let's cover Oh, I know, but 688 00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:33.359 I can't help it. All right, Marvel Versus Capcom Fighting 689 00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:37.160 Collection and Capcom Fighting Collection two are now both coming 690 00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.920 to Xbox, as well as everything else. Marvel Versus Capcom 691 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.160 Fighting Collection Arcade Classics and Capcom Fighting Collection two will 692 00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:48.599 be released for Xbox next year. Marvel Versus Capcom Fighting 693 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:50.759 then they include the sevent titles blah blah blah. The 694 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.200 first collection will be released digitally on September twelfth and 695 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:56.559 physically on November twenty second. I guess for everything else, 696 00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.079 this is like just a quick breaking news story that hey, 697 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:01.799 they were actually able to get this up and running 698 00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:05.519 on Xbox after all. Apparently Microsoft stepped in to try 699 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:09.319 to make this happen, so they succeeded to a certain extent. 700 00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:12.240 Here doesn't really change too much, but I guess it's 701 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.400 nice to see that Microsoft is able to keep these 702 00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.599 partners happy and help them meet their technical needs. If 703 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:18.960 that was the problem here, right. 704 00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.519 Yeah, Well, it's that some of it is just optics, 705 00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:24.640 especially with that you know, there is that like fan 706 00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.880 base that Xbox had cultivated, right, and they were very 707 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.279 unhappy about this, right, They kind of did feel sort 708 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:32.839 of lesser than it was. Almost it almost kind of 709 00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:35.279 became a point of embarrassment. It seemed like for that 710 00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:39.119 hardcore Xbox community that these projects were coming out just 711 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:42.759 compilations and there weren't Xbox versions for some reason. And 712 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:44.480 there are a lot of people who would be interested 713 00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:47.359 in you know, Marvels, Capcom or copcoversus does and K 714 00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:50.240 two who do just have an Xbox that's where they 715 00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:51.759 want to play, and it is a big bummer to 716 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:53.640 not get these kind of games. It is a kind 717 00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:56.960 of kind of a situation that Microsoft shouldn't let happen. 718 00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:59.359 But it is good that they are stepping in, but 719 00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.039 it is a little bit like it's a little late. 720 00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:02.200 Right. 721 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:04.519 It's the same thing as with with boulders Gate three, Right, 722 00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:06.400 where was this kind of big black guy that that 723 00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:08.840 became this giant hit and there wasn't an Xbox version 724 00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:10.920 or was coming out later. So it was good on 725 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:12.880 them to come in and sort of make that fix 726 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.039 and let it happen, but it still is coming out 727 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:17.480 later than on the other platform. 728 00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:21.760 Yep damage done to a certain extent. Absolutely. Rock Steady 729 00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.199 is reportedly the latest studio to suffer layoffs with the 730 00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:28.400 suicide with Suicide Squads poor sales bean to blame. Rock 731 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.559 Steady in the video game studio behind Batman the Arkham series, 732 00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:35.519 has experienced layoffs affecting numerous employees, including over half of 733 00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:38.800 its QA department. That's according to sources that talk to Eurogamer. 734 00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:42.079 The job losses are linked to the poor sales performance 735 00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:44.719 of Suicide Squad Killed the Justice League, which Warner Brothers 736 00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:48.599 Discovery has cited as a major factor in its decline 737 00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:52.320 in gaming revenue despite the success of the Hogwarts game. 738 00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.760 While some layoffs are said to be junior staff, there 739 00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:57.559 are also those who have been there for more than 740 00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:03.480 five years at rock Steady. Again, this is allegedly to Eurogamer. Yeah, 741 00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:05.519 this is another situation where it's like this was bound 742 00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.960 to happen, but after Suicide Squad. But it feels so 743 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.119 frustrating because I think this is a scenario where if 744 00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:14.400 they had made another Batman Arkham game and had had 745 00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:16.159 been it had been as long as it had been 746 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:18.599 since the last one that Rock Study did, it would 747 00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:21.079 have hit really hard, it would have done very well, 748 00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:23.599 and the studio would probably be just fine right now. 749 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.199 And so the mismanagement of having to figure out what 750 00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:28.199 game they were gonna make, and Warner Brothers kind of 751 00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:30.559 coming in and ask asking them to do this game 752 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:33.719 and making it the kind of game that it is, 753 00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:35.880 and then then be able to actually then turn it 754 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:37.280 into a game that I thought was kind of fun 755 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.920 to play to a certain extent. It is a real 756 00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:41.280 rough problem. 757 00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:44.840 It's I mean, it's very similar to what happened with Concord. 758 00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:48.039 It's you know, when this game goes into development, you're 759 00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:51.159 looking at the trends like, well, okay, the looters shooters 760 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.840 online game and Suicide Squad. That movie just made a 761 00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:58.400 bunch of money, and that's Batman adjacent. Let's do that, right, 762 00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.119 And then here you are, seventy years later, you actually 763 00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:03.719 released the game, and people just don't have appetites for 764 00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:06.119 almost any of those qualtions. 765 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:11.519 I mean, it's like you this point, yeah exactly. 766 00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:15.800 You have to imagine someone at WB saw Across the 767 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.079 Water and how poorly uh Marvel's Avengers was received and 768 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.280 assume like, all right, well we got to pivot. Our 769 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:28.199 ip isn't strong enough using like this c team here 770 00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:32.800 to justify doing a looter shooter style game. 771 00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:35.559 I mean, you know, the story is the same as 772 00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:37.719 that always is in the situation, what do they do? 773 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:39.840 What do they say? When they get that fear? They 774 00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:41.599 look over and see what's happening with Avengers. Well, we 775 00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:44.599 have the rock Steady magic, and so rock Steady was 776 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:46.280 going to be the magic sauce they put on this 777 00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:47.960 to make the game really fun and come together in 778 00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:49.480 the last minute. It was all going to be great, 779 00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:53.079 just like always and as not like always, because sometimes 780 00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:55.440 they are able to pull these games out. But as 781 00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:59.719 frequently happens, that didn't work out and the game did 782 00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:02.320 not click with people. And of course it was Suicide Squad, 783 00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:05.559 which is just already less appealing, so it had everything 784 00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:06.519 going against it. 785 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:12.079 Do you think like the Gotham Knights' reception also kind 786 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.519 of hampered the impact of Suicide Squad. 787 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:16.960 I don't know if it hampered it, but I think 788 00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:19.199 it's just kind of a symptom of the same disease 789 00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:20.320 right going on. 790 00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:21.800 There a lot of similar. 791 00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:24.000 Yeah, it might applied to people to be like less 792 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.119 and more skeptical because they didn't love Gotham Knights, so 793 00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:30.440 they weren't in the mood. But yeah, okay, all right, 794 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:33.920 let's keep going here. We hit the Concord One already. 795 00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:38.639 Dragon's Dogma two director Hideaki It'suno is leaving Capcom after 796 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:41.840 thirty years, and he's been making games for a long time, 797 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.719 responsible for games like Powerstone, all the Devil May Cry games, 798 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:48.559 the Dragon's Dogma games. But he like, I think he 799 00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:50.599 started on Star Soldiers, that the one that was going 800 00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:53.760 to be the Star Wars. He was like, he worked 801 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:55.159 on that a lot, and that was like one of 802 00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.280 his early games, and that's when he did really well 803 00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:59.280 on that. Capcom gave him a bunch of more projects. 804 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.840 So yeah, he's been working there for a very long time. 805 00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:05.519 He's moving on after thirty years. He did say that 806 00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:07.599 he has got some stuff coming up though. In a statement, 807 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.960 It's Uno express gratitude Defanse for their long term support 808 00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:13.320 and revealed that he will start developing a new game 809 00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.119 in a new environment from September, starting in September of 810 00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:16.960 twenty twenty four. 811 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:20.639 Oh, normally it's like, oh, yeah, you know, people just 812 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:24.519 leave companies sometimes, but I mean, considering, you know, how 813 00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.679 long he'd been at Capcom Capcom Capcom seems like at 814 00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:30.519 the top of their game right now. It seems like 815 00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:32.760 the place you'd want to work at in his last 816 00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:35.679 two projects there Dragons Dong With two and Devil May 817 00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:39.679 Cry five, both very big hits. I guess I'm kind 818 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:43.320 of surprised that these two you know, sides couldn't come 819 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:47.079 together and make something happen or you know, whatever needed 820 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.119 to if it was terms of letting him make something new, 821 00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.880 whatever he wanted to make, or whatever, you know, money 822 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:56.239 or like like, I'm guess I'm confused. I just wonder 823 00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:59.199 what is so appealing about leading Capcom? What's what is 824 00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:00.880 he going to get? Oh that that he couldn't get 825 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:03.519 just from staying there at this company. Again, that's sort 826 00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:04.559 of at the on top. 827 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:04.760 Of the world. 828 00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.360 Maybe he wanted to make something smaller in scale as 829 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.639 opposed to maybe Dragons, maybe just burnt out I mean 830 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.760 DMC five and then especially Dragon's Dogma to all the 831 00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:16.320 stuff in that those games. Maybe he just wants to 832 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:18.239 make like, oh, I just want to climb an ogre 833 00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:18.880 and that's it. 834 00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:23.159 I think it's probably the situation that, like, for as 835 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:27.000 many problems as Capcom had that they solved by entering 836 00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.519 this new golden era, no video game company has really 837 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:32.760 been able to solve the problem of what do we 838 00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:36.599 do to keep our most senior developers happy because we 839 00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.400 need them making games, So we don't love the idea 840 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:41.960 of them continuing to move up the hierarchy inside of 841 00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.039 the publisher so that suddenly they're in charge of not 842 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.519 making games. They're in charge of people who do make games. 843 00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:50.400 Like that can happen, but it can happen very rarely 844 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:52.840 here and there. And so he's been there thirty years, 845 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:56.039 he's probably kind of been like, honestly, the only way 846 00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:58.039 for him to continue to move up is to start 847 00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:01.039 his own company and become a CEO. And I think 848 00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:03.360 that we saw that happen a lot quite a ways back, 849 00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:06.079 and now it's happening more frequently again. So even though 850 00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:08.440 Capcom seems like this perfect place to work right now 851 00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:11.679 because they are just firing on all cylinders, maybe there 852 00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:14.519 is a situation where he's like, I have conquered this place. 853 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.079 I don't want to try to play the politics of 854 00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:20.519 becoming an executive Capcom. I'll just go take my cachet 855 00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:22.719 right now, go take a big check from a company 856 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:25.039 that wants to invest in the next It'suno game, and 857 00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:27.320 start my own thing. I think it's probably how that 858 00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:27.800 went down. 859 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:31.320 Yeah, I would imagine that there's some publishers out there 860 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:33.480 that are knocking at his doors, like, hey, make us 861 00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:35.280 one of those please, yep. 862 00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:37.400 Real, And I think he'll get kund of a blank 863 00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:39.920 check in that scenario, and deservedly so. 864 00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.280 Dragon wonder what it means for Devil mccrior, Dragon's Dogma 865 00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:45.159 going forward. 866 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:51.039 Dragon's Dogma three. But with all the Concordians there you go. 867 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:51.880 There go. 868 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:54.199 Yeah, it's gonna be like when yeah, Epic like just 869 00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:55.760 released all the assets for Paragon. 870 00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:59.679 Yeah, there you go. All right. Last couple of stories 871 00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:02.920 here visions of Anna Studio set to close as net 872 00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:07.559 Ease and Tencent reportedly scale back japan investments. Yep, this 873 00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:10.239 is rough. This game is just coming out and they 874 00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:13.199 are basically going to close down the whole studio. They've 875 00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:14.960 already laid off a lot of people who work there, 876 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:19.679 and it just seems, according to this story, which comes 877 00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:24.440 from Bloomberg, that these companies net Ease and Tencent, who 878 00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:26.920 have had a lot of money in China and saw 879 00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:30.199 opportunities to begin making big triple A games that could 880 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.199 sell globally but maybe even in China, they started investing 881 00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:36.199 in a lot of Japanese developers. We've definitely talked about 882 00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:39.559 it on the BombCast before. They seem to have lost 883 00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:42.679 their appetite for that. The rumor is that they haven't 884 00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:45.280 seen enough returns from any of these projects yet and 885 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.679 they're growing skeptical that any of them ever will have 886 00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:51.440 like big hits, so they're like, oh, we're gonna pull back. Meanwhile, 887 00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:54.519 there's still like Negoti the guy that was responsible for 888 00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:56.679 the Acus games for a long time. He still has 889 00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:58.559 a studio under one of these companies. I think it 890 00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:02.679 is net Ease, So there is still some investments on going. 891 00:42:03.079 --> 00:42:05.320 But in the meantime, it seems like a Vision's amount 892 00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:06.960 of is looking like it's just gonna be okay and 893 00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.079 sell all right, but not be a Blackmith Wukong. They're 894 00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:10.960 closing the studio. 895 00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:14.679 See that's like might almost a worries, like in it's 896 00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.159 sounotypes like you get some net Ease money right because 897 00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:20.559 they're investing right now, and then you know, this takes 898 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:22.440 a change in the wind for them to send be 899 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:23.960 like ah, never mind, and then. 900 00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:25.039 Nothing comes of it. 901 00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:27.519 I mean, they couldn't like wait a month to see 902 00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:29.960 if Visions amount of made any money, Like I don't 903 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.159 expect it to be some giant hit or something, but 904 00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:36.679 it could be profitable at least probably just not tracking well. 905 00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:40.199 Enough for them to even justify that, which sucks. Sure, yep, 906 00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:44.239 it's uh yeah, it's it's rough stuff. It's still yeah, 907 00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:46.760 go ahead. I was just going to say that when 908 00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:48.119 we we you know, we talked about some of these 909 00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:50.119 things with some people that worked in the industry and 910 00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:53.320 it was at packs and the conversation kept coming back to, 911 00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:56.480 you know, you know, is it a crash and like 912 00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:58.920 what does that look like? And I think where it 913 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.000 is maybe a little bit of a crash is that 914 00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:04.159 we as people who have been listening to podcasts like 915 00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:06.320 this and play a lot of Triple A games and 916 00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:10.119 convinced Sony and Microsoft especially last generation, that it was 917 00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:12.280 worth putting a lot of money into this stuff. That 918 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.599 maybe we like played a trick on them a little bit, 919 00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:17.239 that we made them think that we were always going 920 00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:19.800 to be there giving this amount of money constantly, consistently, 921 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.360 and not only that, we'd be spending more money and 922 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.199 you'd be able to track more people like us to 923 00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:27.800 this space. So this is like where the fight should 924 00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:30.280 be happening over the kinds of games that we like 925 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:32.199 and want to play and want to see big investments 926 00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:35.159 in and now that we are all feeling the pain 927 00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:38.639 of like higher grocery bills and like many years of 928 00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:42.880 high inflation, it feels like we were like saying we're 929 00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:44.960 way less likely to be spending money on some of 930 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.400 these things, especially for not one hundred percent sure it's 931 00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:49.119 going to be worth our time. And now all these 932 00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:51.960 companies are looking at that like, well, then this is 933 00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:54.320 that's just not the deal we thought we were operating under, 934 00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:57.320 and maybe we need to start looking at other places 935 00:43:57.360 --> 00:43:59.599 for like our video game money. And that's going to 936 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:03.360 be different audiences, more casual audiences on the phone, just 937 00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:05.519 like it's always like it's always been. It just feels 938 00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:08.280 like now that we really have lost their attention to 939 00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:10.639 a certain extent. And it's kind of thing where I'm like, 940 00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:13.039 oh man, this this could be a nexus point for 941 00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:16.159 the industry in some ways. Where do these companies continue 942 00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:18.000 to try to invest in the kinds of games I like, 943 00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:19.599 I don't know. I don't have a good argument for 944 00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:20.239 why they should. 945 00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:25.440 Yeah, I And the thing that I hate is is 946 00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:29.280 GTA six is not going to magically fix the video 947 00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:33.360 game industry. By any stretch of the imagination, because then 948 00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:36.559 if and when that game hits big, it's going to 949 00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:40.920 hit big for various reasons. But my fear is that 950 00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:43.440 these big studios are going to once again take the 951 00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:46.440 wrong lessons and learn from the wrong trends and try 952 00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:49.519 and ape off of that. And you know, based off 953 00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:53.199 of Concord's development cycle of being in eight years, which 954 00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:56.920 still feels insane to say out loud, I'm trying to 955 00:44:56.920 --> 00:44:59.079 think of, Okay, well, what was the game trend from 956 00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:01.960 two to three years ago that may have been in 957 00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:06.079 active development then or still to this day that might 958 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.079 get shelved. That is something that's completely unannounced. 959 00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:12.320 Yep, that it feels like that's going probably is happening 960 00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:14.800 right now and we're not hearing anything about it for sure. 961 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:20.239 Last story here, Anna Perna is co financing Control Too 962 00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:23.760 will bring Remedy IP including Alan Wake to film and TV. 963 00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:30.280 This is Remedy's new partnership to publish Control two. It 964 00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:32.000 seems like they are not going to work with Epic 965 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:35.159 games anymore, and that makes a lot of sense after 966 00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:38.119 kind of how things went with Alan Wake two. Allan 967 00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:40.920 Wake two was it seems like Epic helped them spend 968 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:42.239 a lot of money on that thing. It was a 969 00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:46.519 big production. They really made up. They stretched that dollar 970 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:48.719 a long way. Obviously that they were very good at that, 971 00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:50.320 but also they did spend a lot of money on 972 00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.760 that game, and that was partially thanks to Epic. And 973 00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:54.400 yet when they went to go sell the game, it 974 00:45:54.480 --> 00:45:57.159 wasn't on Steam. There was no physical version at launch. 975 00:45:57.199 --> 00:45:58.679 I think there's just now maybe going to be a 976 00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:01.880 physical version, and that really hampered the ability for that 977 00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:04.440 game to make back its money. And and A Perna 978 00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:07.559 will not have those same stipulations or hang ups. Maybe 979 00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:09.599 Ana Perna won't be able to print the games themselves, 980 00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:11.400 but they'll be happy to help remedy, probably find a 981 00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:14.360 partner who will get that game in stores for Control too, 982 00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:18.239 and that should maybe help them solve the problems that 983 00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:21.239 they had with Alan Wake too. I would hope, but yeah, 984 00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:24.639 I don't know it. Also, this is fit like a 985 00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:28.159 It fits like a Glove for television and film right totally. 986 00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:30.840 If it wasn't Ana Purna, I would hope that Blumhouse 987 00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:34.039 wants to open in their eyes and ears to more 988 00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:37.800 being involved in more games and fits like Glove. I 989 00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:40.000 feel like part of the reason gosh, what was it 990 00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:41.000 twelve hours? 991 00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:46.119 Was that the Incest game? Yeah? Yeah, right, yeah, I. 992 00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:50.239 Feel like that hours right, yeah, one of those twelve 993 00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:51.000 minutes minutes? 994 00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:52.320 Yeah, sorry, sorry. 995 00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:54.599 The denomination of time sounded wrong. 996 00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:57.320 Yeah, that's too many, that's too much time. 997 00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.840 For instance, everyone knows that somewhere between twelve. 998 00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:04.599 And I feel like, other than the odd buzz it 999 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:07.360 had behind it, there was a lot of excitement because 1000 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.559 you know when Anna Perna gets excited or is really 1001 00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.280 goes full steam behind a project or Incest, then it 1002 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:18.119 really does take off. I feel like control hit the 1003 00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:21.239 audiences that needed to. Oh yeah, definitely, Alan Wake two 1004 00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:25.079 Folks at Home. You should one hundred percent check out 1005 00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.320 the Alan Wake two DLC because both all three chapters magnificent. 1006 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:32.280 If okay, I'm glad to hear that. 1007 00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:36.320 Yes, I enjoyed them tremendously. Gosh, what's her name? Rose 1008 00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:37.039 the Waitress? 1009 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:38.599 That's the one I most want to play. 1010 00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:44.280 Yeah, that is incredibly hilarious and Remedy has such a 1011 00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:48.800 good pedigree behind it of getting me invested in any 1012 00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:51.679 of their side characters that anytime I just meet someone 1013 00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:54.440 with a name and they're not a miscellaneous shy guy. 1014 00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:56.559 I'm like, all right, I want I want a full 1015 00:47:56.639 --> 00:47:59.199 chapter with you. Give me a full chapter with you. 1016 00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:00.960 Yeah, be fun that. 1017 00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:04.559 I'm also excited about the possibilities that Anna Pern is 1018 00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:08.800 going to bring along, especially when it comes to adapting 1019 00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:13.639 Alan Wake to TV to film. We have to just 1020 00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:18.000 get the cast that already exists, right, I think it 1021 00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:19.000 would be crazy not to. 1022 00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:25.679 It's cert Chris Pratt joke here there it is. Okay, wow, good. 1023 00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:29.679 Perfect, that's podcast and everybody. Yeah, we'll see. Remedy and 1024 00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:31.800 Anna Perna have good vibes together. I think they seem 1025 00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:33.880 to fit well, so I hope this all works out, 1026 00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.360 and ideally Control two feels like it could be the 1027 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:38.920 one that really pops off for them. 1028 00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:39.400 You know. 1029 00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:41.639 I think I said that about alan Wick two, and 1030 00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:43.840 it did in a lot of ways, but it felt 1031 00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:45.760 like it critically popped off, like right, yeah, and it 1032 00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:48.760 still felt confined in a lot of other ways. So 1033 00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:51.800 hopefully Control two can just hit both really hard. I 1034 00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.239 look forward to seeing it. All right, jan that does 1035 00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:55.920 it for the news. I'm handing the show back over 1036 00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:56.199 to you. 1037 00:48:56.760 --> 00:49:01.199 God, Okay, Remedy, hear me out here?

And then eventually it all just intercedes 1043 00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:18.519 within the mind palace. 1044 00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:23.039 That's fantastic, jan that would rule hard. 1045 00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:26.639 Or or this.

Also, uh they are 1275 00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:55.199 Metroid Venus. We could say that. Sorry, sorry, John. 1276 00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:58.719 Saw the tree. 1277 00:59:58.960 --> 00:59:59.800 That's just the genre. 1278 01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:03.039 Yeah, yeah, I love, love loved potting with you last week, 1279 01:00:03.039 --> 01:00:04.000 but bad to sorry. 1280 01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:04.599 Different. 1281 01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:08.280 You know, there are two very distinct styles of Castlevania, 1282 01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:10.719 so saying medrod Vania makes it clear which one you're 1283 01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:11.519 talking about. 1284 01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:13.880 Yep, that's right. Also, I'm not gonna say such action. 1285 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:15.599 I don't like the way it feels in my mouth. 1286 01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:18.519 I could be I'll say such action if everybody, If 1287 01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:20.960 I thought that, everybody was like going to agree and 1288 01:00:21.039 --> 01:00:22.960 like tomorrow it's search action, I do it. 1289 01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:25.280 But I know that won't we're doing I've never done. 1290 01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:29.199 I'm not going to about do saction work. I love 1291 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:33.880 Metroid is a bum thing to say. 1292 01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:35.320 It sounds gave me as hell. 1293 01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:37.679 It rules, it's a good genre name. 1294 01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:39.639 I love it metro Van and we all know what 1295 01:00:39.719 --> 01:00:42.840 we all know what it means. It has already it 1296 01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:46.079 is effective language, right, we all get it done. 1297 01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:47.559 And yeah, there's no confusion about it. 1298 01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:51.679 I mean, I am very happy with this whole collection 1299 01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:53.679 so far. It seems like, you know, it's a tricky 1300 01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:56.559 thing to translate a two screen game, even one where 1301 01:00:56.599 --> 01:00:59.599 the one screen is mostly just uh, you know, the map. 1302 01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:02.199 It could be difficult to translate that. But they did 1303 01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:04.280 a great job at least with the dawna Sorrow game, 1304 01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:06.280 and that's the one that from my memory had the 1305 01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:09.480 most kind of DS gimmicks. Anyways, and you can still 1306 01:01:09.559 --> 01:01:11.920 use the touch screen here and even for like the glyphs, 1307 01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:14.480 you don't have to trace it like you used to before. 1308 01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:16.639 You can't just kind of push this bud. It's more 1309 01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:19.639 of a quick time event thing. Yeah, just a very 1310 01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:22.440 very good one of these. And you also kind of 1311 01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:25.360 forget after playing the GBA ones that, oh, the DS 1312 01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:28.000 was more powerful hardware. This kind of looks a bit 1313 01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.880 closer to say, a Symphony of the Night. There's like, 1314 01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:33.840 you know, a bit more special effects going on here 1315 01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:36.000 and there, the audio quality seems better. 1316 01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:38.039 Just all around a very good time. 1317 01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:40.039 I'm just very glad that all those GBA and DS 1318 01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:42.519 ones are now easily playable on things that was there. 1319 01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:43.440 They are up. 1320 01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:46.960 They're all like symphony quality almost, I would say, yeah. 1321 01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:48.960 Right, Well, speaking of symphony, it's still wild that we 1322 01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:51.920 can't play Symphony of the Night on the play it and. 1323 01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:54.000 It's not on Steam either. It was a bit of annoying, 1324 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:56.000 but yeah, that one, that one is well preserved. The 1325 01:01:56.039 --> 01:01:58.400 good thing here is these were toual screen games. They've 1326 01:01:58.400 --> 01:02:01.039 made them one screen game. So even as it gets 1327 01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:03.239 more awkward to play dual screen games, which there's always 1328 01:02:03.239 --> 01:02:05.280 gonna be ways to do that, and emulating that stuff 1329 01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:07.360 on a single screen. They figured that out. Those emulators 1330 01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:09.280 are very good. Part of me is just like I 1331 01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:11.760 kind of wish it was well more well preserved well 1332 01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:13.880 nowadays and done by a really good porthouse and M 1333 01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:16.039 two and they did add all the quality of life 1334 01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:17.840 features that you want. So just across the board, a 1335 01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:18.760 really good job. 1336 01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:23.880 All right, gentlemen. Well that's the Dawn of Sorrow. A 1337 01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:25.800 game that has kind of pulled me out of my 1338 01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:29.519 sorrows lately is a game that I checked out actually 1339 01:02:29.559 --> 01:02:33.119 at last year's Pax West. Arco, No, not the gas 1340 01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:37.239 Station Arco, as it is described by the devs, is 1341 01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:40.000 a Meso American fantasy RPG. 1342 01:02:40.639 --> 01:02:43.639 This is the game where it's top down. It's a 1343 01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:48.039 strategy game where you tell your little dudes to go 1344 01:02:48.079 --> 01:02:51.960 to from point A to point B and they take 1345 01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:54.960 their actions after you tell them to. So you can 1346 01:02:55.039 --> 01:02:58.559 have your first character all right, You're gonna shoot off 1347 01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:04.679 to the right at this enemy while person B goes 1348 01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:07.800 over and flanks them and tries to do a temporal 1349 01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:11.400 pincer movement. But in the meantime, as you let your 1350 01:03:11.480 --> 01:03:14.960 turn go the other or the AI, the enemy is 1351 01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:17.559 also making their moves as you go along. At the 1352 01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:21.360 same time, so you are trying to anticipate what you 1353 01:03:21.440 --> 01:03:25.079 think the enemy will do in conjunction with you are 1354 01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:27.079 planning to do, and it does get a little bit 1355 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:29.559 tricky and difficult. It takes a while to get used 1356 01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:31.800 to it. You can't kind of slow down the time 1357 01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:36.039 a bit. But it's really fun, especially where once you 1358 01:03:36.039 --> 01:03:40.000 start unlocking more of the abilities to kind of synergize 1359 01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:42.559 with each other better. Some of the melee characters can 1360 01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:47.119 bat away projectiles, but there have definitely been moments in 1361 01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:50.719 levels where I've gone absolutely stomped by the enemy because 1362 01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:53.159 it has suddenly turned into a bullet hell and now 1363 01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:55.719 there's like twenty million bullets on screen. How are my 1364 01:03:55.800 --> 01:03:58.199 little dudes in their cool ponchos supposed to get out 1365 01:03:58.239 --> 01:04:02.039 of this? It feels like it'd play really well in 1366 01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:03.559 the Steam Deck. I haven't tried it out on the 1367 01:04:03.559 --> 01:04:05.519 Steam Deck. If I could use like the touch screen 1368 01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:09.119 to like tell hey, homie, you go over here while 1369 01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:13.320 this guy goes over here, the I want up spending 1370 01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:15.920 too much time in like the kind of tutorial practice 1371 01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:19.000 mode trying to get the hang of some of the strategies, 1372 01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:22.719 because similar to like how you can keyframe something you 1373 01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:27.280 can you can arc someone's movement. So instead of going 1374 01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.599 from point A to point B along the way, you're 1375 01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:34.400 gonna make this arc here and that's gonna help a strategically. 1376 01:04:35.239 --> 01:04:37.159 And like MS paint or something like. 1377 01:04:37.119 --> 01:04:38.480 A Bezier handle. 1378 01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:44.159 Yeah, okay, pull those handles, dog, And it's really neat. 1379 01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:47.480 The The problem is I think my brain no work 1380 01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:50.639 fast enough for it. Where I it is a little 1381 01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:53.039 bit much more challenging than I'd like it to be. 1382 01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:55.800 It isn't as pick up and play as I like 1383 01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:58.960 some of my strategy games or tactic style games to be. 1384 01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:01.960 But that being said, I do enjoy the setting. It's 1385 01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:04.159 a very different setting than we normally see in yeah, 1386 01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:04.679 a lot of games. 1387 01:05:04.840 --> 01:05:07.599 This game looks really good. I remember you talking about before. 1388 01:05:07.639 --> 01:05:09.760 I looked it up again since you start talking, and 1389 01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:13.199 this setting is incredible and the pixel art style really 1390 01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:17.280 works well with it. These you know, Central American windmills, 1391 01:05:17.320 --> 01:05:19.400 so they just look fantastic. It's really good stuff. 1392 01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:22.800 Yeah, there's all there's whole skill trees for each of 1393 01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:26.440 the different character classes you pick up and everything. There's 1394 01:05:26.519 --> 01:05:29.360 like different items and shops that you unlock as you 1395 01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:32.119 go through and progress through the worlds. There's also like 1396 01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:36.320 some light exploration when you're out of combat. I really 1397 01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:38.639 enjoy the look of it. There's also really good mustaches 1398 01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:40.480 in the game. I feel like we're very lacking on 1399 01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:41.960 good facial hair and video games. 1400 01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:44.039 Y's right. Oh. 1401 01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:48.639 But also, despite the game being super challenging, it does 1402 01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:53.480 communicate what everyone is doing very well. So once you 1403 01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:56.159 set your person to do this, oh Jesus Christ, stop 1404 01:05:56.199 --> 01:06:02.679 auto playing. Sorry, once you set a character to do this, 1405 01:06:02.920 --> 01:06:06.119 it telegraphs that really well. Of like, okay, right, right, right, 1406 01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:08.480 I told that person to go there, and it's laying 1407 01:06:08.480 --> 01:06:12.239 out that trajectory for them. I feel like this is 1408 01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:15.519 just with me getting StarCraft Too Curious earlier in the 1409 01:06:15.599 --> 01:06:18.320 year and me not being able to get Dayo field 1410 01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:21.599 Chronicles out of my head. Uh, and that at least 1411 01:06:21.599 --> 01:06:23.760 there's one of you out there that it's me jam. 1412 01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:25.360 When I looked at it, I'm like, I was gonna 1413 01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:26.840 ask you, ask you, hey, is this like do you 1414 01:06:26.920 --> 01:06:32.079 field chronicles? So ever so slightly kind of like uk, 1415 01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:35.480 it stuck with us ever since, right it has. 1416 01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:39.920 Someone has to bring it back and uh, gosh, the 1417 01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:44.639 the battle mode and Pickment four. I think I just 1418 01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:47.159 Dan Dory do I kind of want to I want 1419 01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:50.119 to get into like the game, Yeah, you know, like 1420 01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:51.639 I want to point a click at something. 1421 01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:52.039 Yeah. 1422 01:06:52.440 --> 01:06:54.840 Maybe I think I missed a trick there. I was 1423 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:58.679 pretty good at dan Dory. I should have gone prois. 1424 01:06:57.960 --> 01:06:59.400 Let's go against each other on something? 1425 01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:03.679 Isn't it is? 1426 01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:05.840 I think it's local only, but we'll find it. We 1427 01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:06.480 can find a. 1428 01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:07.719 Time to do that fun as hell. 1429 01:07:07.800 --> 01:07:11.320 Yeah, yes, Jen, when you were talking about it becoming 1430 01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:14.480 kind of a bullet hell, is that still like turn 1431 01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:16.239 based at that point or is that more like does 1432 01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:18.519 it become real time when you're like defending or something. 1433 01:07:18.719 --> 01:07:19.400 How does that work? 1434 01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:23.960 So it becomes a bullet hell because the enemy's actions 1435 01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:26.840 will just be like doing a spray across the streight. 1436 01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:28.639 Overwhelming but still turn based. 1437 01:07:29.079 --> 01:07:31.079 Yes, and then like stuff will slow down so you 1438 01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:34.400 can kind of like anticipate. Okay, I can either eat 1439 01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:38.039 this hit, try and arc my character to move around them, 1440 01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:43.239 or drop their current action to kind of weave around 1441 01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:45.679 the bullet so we can get through it. 1442 01:07:46.559 --> 01:07:48.039 I'm kinda I'm kind of seeing that.

That's true. Oh my gosh. 1552 01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:29.319 Well, Mikey, how did playing Marvel's Marvel Versus Capcom Fighting 1553 01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:31.359 Collection Arcade Classics make you feel? 1554 01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:34.720 You know, we didn't really play a whole lot of 1555 01:12:34.840 --> 01:12:36.399 games at packs. 1556 01:12:36.439 --> 01:12:38.119 We've played a couple of the Town Things Can't Talk. 1557 01:12:38.119 --> 01:12:39.680 We played this one twice though, right, Mike. 1558 01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:42.439 Yeah, So we played this on the show floor and 1559 01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:44.920 then they had this like when we saw Nintendo it's 1560 01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:46.600 kind of like off to the side, but this is 1561 01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:48.800 coming out on the twelfth, so pretty fun. 1562 01:12:49.039 --> 01:12:50.880 We started playing it and the lady came around to 1563 01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:52.479 turn on the music so everyone could hear it, and 1564 01:12:52.520 --> 01:12:54.600 everyone was very happy. When they could hear the Capcom 1565 01:12:54.720 --> 01:12:56.960 or the versus Capcom to music. It was great. 1566 01:12:57.880 --> 01:13:00.760 Yeah, god, uh just playing Marsl's on to again made 1567 01:13:00.800 --> 01:13:03.760 me so freaking happy. This is just one of my 1568 01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:07.199 absolute favorite games. You know, that Dreamcast port of this 1569 01:13:07.840 --> 01:13:10.239 was so legendary and it went, you know, people kind 1570 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:11.680 of for getting out. Kind of was a little under 1571 01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:14.680 the radar at the time, but it was probably my 1572 01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:17.720 most played Dreamcast game, and the Dreamcast was a console 1573 01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:21.680 that I absolutely adored. Marvel's cackle on two is just 1574 01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:24.439 so there's almost a Smash Brothers as quality to it, 1575 01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:28.359 where I think it's fun both casually, like very casually, 1576 01:13:28.600 --> 01:13:30.840 and and like that higher level you want to get 1577 01:13:30.880 --> 01:13:34.640 really meta and have your you know, doctor dooms, storm 1578 01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:37.720 teams or whatever. But it's just such a fun game 1579 01:13:37.800 --> 01:13:40.600 to just look at and just kind of play and 1580 01:13:40.680 --> 01:13:43.239 start mashing, and wacky things are happening all over them. 1581 01:13:43.319 --> 01:13:45.439 Yep. It's so so fast too. It's like that's what 1582 01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:47.640 has always been the thing for me about first Capcom two. 1583 01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:50.119 It's like this, this is just there's so much happening 1584 01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:52.439 at any one moment, and I think I does make 1585 01:13:52.479 --> 01:13:54.840 it fun as from a casual perspective where which is 1586 01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:55.880 where I'm at. 1587 01:13:56.439 --> 01:13:58.079 And you know, the collection is neat because you know, 1588 01:13:58.199 --> 01:13:59.760 some of the other games I'm not familiar with, but 1589 01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:02.119 like X Men Children in the Adam, which was kind 1590 01:14:02.119 --> 01:14:04.880 of the first in this quote unquote versus series, it's 1591 01:14:04.920 --> 01:14:07.359 just an X Men one v one fighting game, and 1592 01:14:07.399 --> 01:14:09.920 that is more. That is kind of slower, and if 1593 01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:12.560 you're looking for maybe a more traditional, like you know, 1594 01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:15.880 Street Fighter two style capcom fighting game, you still have that. 1595 01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:19.079 And it has the gorgeous you know, character art in 1596 01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:21.680 the backgrounds, in the music, and that's still a ton 1597 01:14:21.720 --> 01:14:24.239 of fun. So I'm excited to go through all of these. 1598 01:14:24.760 --> 01:14:26.079 You can kind of like, you know, see if you 1599 01:14:26.079 --> 01:14:28.760 get through ourkne mode, have some fun. But MVC two 1600 01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:31.399 is definitely the one I'm excited to play a lot of. 1601 01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:35.319 Maybe go online see see how I can measure up 1602 01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:38.239 on there to figure out, like what my team's going 1603 01:14:38.279 --> 01:14:40.840 to be this time around. Maybe maybe throw in a 1604 01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:43.560 meta character. Maybe I'll put Storm in that. 1605 01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:45.640 You want to Storm And then she seemed like she 1606 01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:46.239 seemed cool. 1607 01:14:47.399 --> 01:14:50.119 Storm's very very good in Marvels's Capcome Too. 1608 01:14:50.399 --> 01:14:54.239 Ah gosh, which one of those my my uncle God 1609 01:14:54.279 --> 01:14:57.840 bless them, was so obsessed. Okay, it was X Men 1610 01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:01.960 versus street Fighter. There was Captain America. No, never mind, 1611 01:15:01.960 --> 01:15:06.319 not that one. It's Marvel Superheroes versus street Fighter. In 1612 01:15:06.359 --> 01:15:10.079 the Captain America level, Captain America had like a circular 1613 01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:14.079 tube table, and for whatever reason, my uncle was obsessed 1614 01:15:14.079 --> 01:15:15.920 with that. He would put on that stage all the 1615 01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:17.920 time and he go, Jerome, look at that table, look 1616 01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:21.880 at that And then in now with my future eyes, 1617 01:15:22.039 --> 01:15:26.079 I'm thinking, yeah, un, that was that wasn't a table. 1618 01:15:26.159 --> 01:15:26.920 That's just like a. 1619 01:15:27.279 --> 01:15:30.640 Leftover spool from a bunch of cables. Because Captain America's 1620 01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:32.680 ship was like a navy yard or something. 1621 01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:36.039 And I remember very handsome these days. 1622 01:15:36.119 --> 01:15:37.640 You know who made a table out of that? 1623 01:15:37.880 --> 01:15:41.319 You know who who enrolled into a wood shop class 1624 01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:43.800 in the late nineties so he could make that table? 1625 01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:46.720 My uncle did, is it you? N I was like, 1626 01:15:48.119 --> 01:15:52.840 don't don't like kindergartener's enter a wood shop. But he 1627 01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:54.920 was so excited to show me this fucking table that 1628 01:15:54.960 --> 01:15:57.039 he made. And you know what, I'm glad he still 1629 01:15:57.079 --> 01:16:00.199 has it to this day. And then I can you 1630 01:16:00.279 --> 01:16:02.239 let me write Shuma Gorath on it? 1631 01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:02.800 Oh? 1632 01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:06.479 Really, that's great less, no less, I'm gonta, I gotta, 1633 01:16:06.520 --> 01:16:07.600 I gotta take a picture of the day. 1634 01:16:07.640 --> 01:16:08.439 I get a picture of that. 1635 01:16:10.239 --> 01:16:12.960 Another thing that I have here, which is a proved 1636 01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:14.880 to be a fantastic game at wasting a lot of 1637 01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:17.840 time or using a lot of time fields of mystery. 1638 01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:20.800 Ooh, it's a it's a real good playing game. I 1639 01:16:20.880 --> 01:16:22.720 got plenty of time on planes with this game. Recently. 1640 01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:25.359 Have we talked about it on the podcast? 1641 01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:29.439 For I brought it up when it came out, weames, 1642 01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:29.960 but we should. 1643 01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:32.640 Yeah, I've been talking about playing it, and I've been 1644 01:16:32.720 --> 01:16:33.359 really enjoying it. 1645 01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:36.039 I'm usually extremely reluctant to play games when they're in 1646 01:16:36.119 --> 01:16:38.399 early access because I much prefer to just like play 1647 01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:41.119 it when it's done. But I heard that this one 1648 01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:43.640 had to good forty hours of content from early access, 1649 01:16:43.680 --> 01:16:46.319 and sure enough, I'm many hours into it at this point, 1650 01:16:46.439 --> 01:16:49.800 and it doesn't feel like in progress. It feels like, 1651 01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:51.920 you know, this is a fully fledged like Stardoo like 1652 01:16:52.319 --> 01:16:53.199 it's it is. 1653 01:16:53.159 --> 01:16:56.159 So stardu like that. Like. 1654 01:16:56.199 --> 01:16:57.840 I guess I don't want to criticize because started was 1655 01:16:57.880 --> 01:17:00.600 also Harvest Moons, you know, so I guess it's just 1656 01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:03.960 one of these games. But I've many times wanted to 1657 01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:06.600 go back to Stardoo, because I know they added a 1658 01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:08.760 ton since I played it that launch, but I never did, 1659 01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:10.199 just because it's like, oh man, I'd have to start 1660 01:17:10.199 --> 01:17:12.000 over again, start a whole new farm and everything. For 1661 01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:14.760 some reason, with this one, I think the time was right. 1662 01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:17.279 It's been long enough since Stardoo, and it's got just 1663 01:17:17.359 --> 01:17:19.960 enough quality of life stuff, you know, not having to 1664 01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:22.119 fill your water and can every day little check marks 1665 01:17:22.119 --> 01:17:24.279 to tell you if you've already donated to the museum. 1666 01:17:24.359 --> 01:17:26.439 I don't know this stuff that Stardo has added in 1667 01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:29.039 the time since it came out, but it's all to 1668 01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:31.800 say it's a great, great Steam deck game. I'm sure 1669 01:17:31.800 --> 01:17:34.520 it's coming to switch at some point. 1670 01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:36.039 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1671 01:17:36.039 --> 01:17:39.199 It's early access right now. It doesn't feel very early accessy, 1672 01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:39.840 but it is. 1673 01:17:39.920 --> 01:17:40.600 Yeah, yeah, it's. 1674 01:17:40.880 --> 01:17:43.319 But if anyone's reluctant because of the early access nature, 1675 01:17:43.319 --> 01:17:46.319 I wouldn't be because I've greatly been enjoying it so far. 1676 01:17:46.560 --> 01:17:49.159 Yeah, you don't have any multiplayer hooks yet? Is it? 1677 01:17:49.199 --> 01:17:50.119 Like not that our scene? 1678 01:17:50.159 --> 01:17:52.880 Okay, all right, no, because I've been curious about that, Like, 1679 01:17:52.960 --> 01:17:55.479 you know, start who didn't have multiplayer at launch, and like, 1680 01:17:55.479 --> 01:17:57.520 I know they added it, but like, I'm so bad 1681 01:17:57.520 --> 01:17:59.520 about going back to games I play and when they 1682 01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:01.399 come out then I'm done with them. 1683 01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:03.159 I'm sure starting multiplayers fun. 1684 01:18:03.199 --> 01:18:06.479 Well, Agriculture Week will come up after Infrastructure Weeks. 1685 01:18:06.279 --> 01:18:10.039 So I think maybe we could work in we started 1686 01:18:10.439 --> 01:18:12.079 starting into infrastructure week. 1687 01:18:12.520 --> 01:18:14.319 Yeah, you're building buildings and stuff like that. 1688 01:18:14.399 --> 01:18:16.560 Yeah, for sure, you're building relationships. 1689 01:18:17.880 --> 01:18:20.279 That's the definition of infrastructure. I see that word a 1690 01:18:20.319 --> 01:18:21.359 lot and I never think about it. 1691 01:18:21.479 --> 01:18:22.199 Infrastructure. 1692 01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:23.119 What's that mean? 1693 01:18:23.199 --> 01:18:23.359 Though? 1694 01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:27.640 Infrastructure it's the things to hold a s t r 1695 01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:29.039 U C t U r E. 1696 01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:30.199 Infrastructure is it. 1697 01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:33.960 The foundational structures that hold everything else together? So roads, bridges, 1698 01:18:34.119 --> 01:18:34.720 things like that. 1699 01:18:34.920 --> 01:18:37.199 Oh, it's like transportation stuff, well not. 1700 01:18:37.119 --> 01:18:42.880 Just transportation, but that SS city planning boring stuff. 1701 01:18:42.920 --> 01:18:46.520 Okay, some city city like, yeah. 1702 01:18:46.359 --> 01:18:48.800 We got we are more efficient if we have a 1703 01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:50.279 road going from point to point. 1704 01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:52.640 B Okay, that's probably important. 1705 01:18:53.239 --> 01:18:55.319 Maybe we could even do like a ticket to ride 1706 01:18:55.680 --> 01:18:57.000 for Infrastructure week. 1707 01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:01.600 Yeah, we do not tabletop simulator, so I can get 1708 01:19:01.640 --> 01:19:03.199 my VR headset and not the table over. 1709 01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:06.119 Okay, only if you promise not to do that grub 1710 01:19:06.119 --> 01:19:08.800 I take I take ticket to ride very seriously. 1711 01:19:08.880 --> 01:19:13.479 Okay, my bad, Wow, I might take it for a ride. 1712 01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:16.079 Connection. 1713 01:19:16.520 --> 01:19:18.520 There you go, there you go, thank you, Thank you.

Yeah, 1721 01:19:37.920 --> 01:19:39.840 it's I mean, you guys know how I feel about 1722 01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:42.319 Middle Gear, and I feel like this is exactly what 1723 01:19:42.359 --> 01:19:45.840 I wanted from it. It is not trying to do 1724 01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:49.359 its own take on Snake Eater. It's just saying like, hey, 1725 01:19:49.640 --> 01:19:52.600 here is that game. We've modernized the controls, we made 1726 01:19:52.640 --> 01:19:55.640 it look a lot better, you know, quality of life 1727 01:19:55.640 --> 01:19:57.640 stuff like you know, kind of hot swapping camo without 1728 01:19:57.680 --> 01:20:01.359 having to go into a menu. Things like that, very 1729 01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:03.800 smart stuff like tooltips for CQC. Like I always love 1730 01:20:03.800 --> 01:20:05.760 the CQC system, but I always found myself having to 1731 01:20:05.800 --> 01:20:07.640 be like, okay, wait to slip throats, I have to 1732 01:20:07.680 --> 01:20:10.439 like half hold circle to grab them and then full 1733 01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:13.479 pressure sensitive press to slip throats or I have to like. 1734 01:20:13.520 --> 01:20:14.520 Okay, so how do I human it? 1735 01:20:14.560 --> 01:20:14.800 You like? 1736 01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:17.359 It's the tooltip stuff helps just lots of like little 1737 01:20:17.359 --> 01:20:19.399 things like that that do not change the game. It 1738 01:20:19.600 --> 01:20:22.199 just makes it more convenient to play. And it looks 1739 01:20:22.239 --> 01:20:25.760 looks gorgeous, plays great. The new controls are fantastic. You 1740 01:20:25.800 --> 01:20:28.439 can swap your items and weapons and stuff with a 1741 01:20:28.479 --> 01:20:30.039 deep head and more like you know, fan of pain 1742 01:20:30.119 --> 01:20:32.439 than it is the old L two R two stuff. 1743 01:20:32.520 --> 01:20:35.920 Oh man, I know that it's just using the old 1744 01:20:36.039 --> 01:20:38.600 like voice lines, there's nothing new. Is there a little 1745 01:20:38.640 --> 01:20:41.199 bit of a disconnect because there is like I don't 1746 01:20:41.199 --> 01:20:43.000 know in my mind, like that there is something about 1747 01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:45.359 that voice acting that is a little PS two we 1748 01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:47.600 in a positive way, but does it kind of feel 1749 01:20:47.600 --> 01:20:49.640 a little bit weird with the super modern. 1750 01:20:49.319 --> 01:20:50.039 Graph not at all. 1751 01:20:50.159 --> 01:20:53.079 I prefer that they did it this way because remember 1752 01:20:53.079 --> 01:20:56.239 with Twin Snakes, because the original was like very compressed, 1753 01:20:56.520 --> 01:20:59.279 they re recorded everything and like change some voices outright, 1754 01:20:59.439 --> 01:21:01.159 like Gray and I think meleing. 1755 01:21:02.359 --> 01:21:04.600 Yeah, a lot of people lost their accents and things 1756 01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:04.840 like that. 1757 01:21:04.920 --> 01:21:07.840 Yeah, But like grape Fox is just like a worse voice, 1758 01:21:07.880 --> 01:21:10.680 I think, and this did not have that problem. It doesn't, 1759 01:21:10.880 --> 01:21:13.039 I would say, no disconnect. I mean it feels like 1760 01:21:13.079 --> 01:21:15.359 a PS two game, because it is a PS two game. 1761 01:21:15.399 --> 01:21:17.760 It's just it looks a lot better. So No, at 1762 01:21:17.760 --> 01:21:19.199 no point was I like, oh, I wish they would 1763 01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:20.000 have re recorded this. 1764 01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:23.359 And Dan, I believe you added this to the list 1765 01:21:23.399 --> 01:21:26.600 as well. Are you talking about cast Away the movie? 1766 01:21:27.039 --> 01:21:30.279 No, the game. I don't know if if anyone's aware 1767 01:21:30.279 --> 01:21:32.560 of this. It's it's a very uh short it's. 1768 01:21:32.359 --> 01:21:33.520 Like looks like links Awakening. 1769 01:21:33.600 --> 01:21:36.560 Yeah, it's uh no, it's it's it's uh. It's like 1770 01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:41.560 one of the good Zeld games. So it's condensed all 1771 01:21:41.720 --> 01:21:45.119 of like just Zelda stuff into the most like you 1772 01:21:45.119 --> 01:21:46.760 can beat this game in a half hour. But there's 1773 01:21:46.800 --> 01:21:50.279 like several dungeons. It's straight up Zelda dungeons. You're getting 1774 01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:52.680 heart pieces, you're getting items, you're getting hook shots and 1775 01:21:52.720 --> 01:21:57.000 things like that. But it's just like a miniature Zelda 1776 01:21:57.039 --> 01:22:01.359 built for like speed running, very very cool. You unlock 1777 01:22:01.439 --> 01:22:03.399 like a certainly you know, fifty tower like Rogue light 1778 01:22:03.479 --> 01:22:07.279 mode afterwards, but very very small experience. But for like 1779 01:22:07.359 --> 01:22:09.520 one sitting sit down and feel like you get like 1780 01:22:09.960 --> 01:22:12.479 a little Zelda experience, Like you're not getting the compass 1781 01:22:12.479 --> 01:22:13.920 in the map, you're just getting a boss key in 1782 01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:17.399 each dungeon, but they do have boss fights. Everything's extremely 1783 01:22:17.479 --> 01:22:20.479 Zelda good art style and everything. It reminds you of 1784 01:22:20.520 --> 01:22:22.760 like Minute or half minute Hero, you know games that 1785 01:22:22.840 --> 01:22:24.479 kind of like the whole gimmick is like we have 1786 01:22:24.560 --> 01:22:28.159 boiled this down to the core essentials and that's what 1787 01:22:28.239 --> 01:22:28.520 this is. 1788 01:22:28.600 --> 01:22:29.760 So I will give it. 1789 01:22:29.800 --> 01:22:31.800 I mean, i'll give it that half hour for sure. 1790 01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:33.880 Like that seems like such a low investment. That's actually 1791 01:22:33.880 --> 01:22:37.800 a positive at this point because I see this and oh, 1792 01:22:37.880 --> 01:22:40.760 I hope it is the links awakening to successor that 1793 01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:43.119 I've really wanted. There's been others that have kind of 1794 01:22:43.119 --> 01:22:45.720 promised that we'll see about Mina the Hollower that's kind 1795 01:22:45.720 --> 01:22:49.279 of doing that as well, but here in what it's 1796 01:22:49.319 --> 01:22:50.640 not even really trying to be that, it is trying 1797 01:22:50.680 --> 01:22:53.000 to be the condensed version. Well that's fine too, that's 1798 01:22:53.039 --> 01:22:55.039 that sounds very promising, So I'll give it a shot. 1799 01:22:55.399 --> 01:22:56.039 Yeah, it's fun. 1800 01:22:56.199 --> 01:22:58.199 I immediately started it again just to be like, okay, 1801 01:22:58.359 --> 01:22:59.840 it took me a half hour the first time. When 1802 01:22:59.840 --> 01:23:01.479 I didn't know anything. Like, I wonder how fast I 1803 01:23:01.520 --> 01:23:03.239 could burn through this. You I could have ten minutes, 1804 01:23:03.279 --> 01:23:04.079 fifteen minutes, you. 1805 01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:06.479 Know that's cool. I like and I like those like 1806 01:23:06.479 --> 01:23:10.159 like Short Hike and Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip, these games 1807 01:23:10.199 --> 01:23:12.600 that are like, hey, here's an open world game or whatever, 1808 01:23:12.920 --> 01:23:15.840 but you know, a couple of hours, not twenty hours, 1809 01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:16.640 and that that rules. 1810 01:23:16.880 --> 01:23:19.119 Yep, totally. Yeah, Tiny Terry is a good example of that. 1811 01:23:19.760 --> 01:23:22.079 Tiny Terry. There's some good mustaches in that game as well. 1812 01:23:22.159 --> 01:23:23.359 Oh yeah, yeah, definitely are. 1813 01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:27.000 I haven't played enough of the game to see if 1814 01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:30.840 there is good facial hair representation. But Jeff Grubb, you've 1815 01:23:30.880 --> 01:23:34.199 also been playing this Game of the Week. Let's say it, 1816 01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:36.840 let's hear it. I can't put the vocal effects because 1817 01:23:36.960 --> 01:23:38.279 it's gonna break everything again. 1818 01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:41.399 Uh huh No, that's one who emails. 1819 01:23:41.840 --> 01:23:43.880 Okay, Mike, just say the name, Just say Game of 1820 01:23:43.920 --> 01:23:46.319 the Week with me, Star Wars Outlaws at the same time. 1821 01:23:46.359 --> 01:23:54.319 All right, ready three two Game of the Week, Star 1822 01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:57.640 Wars Outlaws. Ah, that's that's not. 1823 01:23:59.199 --> 01:23:59.359 Mike. 1824 01:23:59.399 --> 01:24:01.119 Do you know how co works? I did it. 1825 01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:04.720 I thought I thought that was a great idea. Anyway, 1826 01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:09.199 I am enjoying Star Wars Outlaws. That's I got really 1827 01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:11.479 frustrated with my roger Ally because it does run on 1828 01:24:11.479 --> 01:24:13.399 the on the roger Ally, I had it working at home. 1829 01:24:13.479 --> 01:24:15.920 I left, I had it connected the hotel Wi Fi 1830 01:24:16.119 --> 01:24:18.279 my phone's hot spot, and I just could not get 1831 01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:20.560 Ubisoft connected to let me play on the roger Ally 1832 01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:22.920 when I left home until I got to the airport 1833 01:24:22.960 --> 01:24:24.520 on the way back. But then I played a bunch 1834 01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:26.439 while waiting for the plane, and then on the plane 1835 01:24:27.439 --> 01:24:30.920 did some several missions, a couple where I was breaking 1836 01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:35.279 into Imperial facilities and they're really well guarded, and it 1837 01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:38.119 felt very cool and very Star Wars to be like 1838 01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:41.800 moving through these spaces that are very recognizable, and you know, 1839 01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:43.479 it's a stealth game. We've talked about that before. It 1840 01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:45.760 is just straight up a stealth game. But now that 1841 01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:48.119 I'm like I've made peace with that, doing these stealth 1842 01:24:48.119 --> 01:24:50.359 segments and feeling like I have a good handle on 1843 01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:52.840 how to get through these spaces without getting spotted, and 1844 01:24:52.920 --> 01:24:56.439 having it all feel pretty cinematic and cool, it hits 1845 01:24:56.479 --> 01:25:00.039 really hard where it's like, yeah, this is exactly I 1846 01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:02.359 want this feeling, and this is maybe not exactly the game. 1847 01:25:02.399 --> 01:25:04.239 I wanted it, but I wanted to feel this way 1848 01:25:04.239 --> 01:25:06.680 after missions, and I'm definitely getting that part of it. 1849 01:25:06.720 --> 01:25:09.960 And as I unlock more abilities and I meet more 1850 01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:12.560 experts that make the abilities I do have more powerful, 1851 01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:15.439 the game is getting better the more I play it, 1852 01:25:15.520 --> 01:25:17.920 so I definitely have a lot of issues with it. 1853 01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:21.680 I think that the you know, the stealth is underbaked 1854 01:25:21.720 --> 01:25:24.560 compared to the rest of the genre. I think the 1855 01:25:25.560 --> 01:25:28.119 fighting sequence with guns, when you when you're actually using 1856 01:25:28.359 --> 01:25:30.000 using our weapon, there's not a ton there, and you 1857 01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:32.600 can pick up some weapons that enemies drop, but if 1858 01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:34.359 you try to like go up the ladder, she's like, well, 1859 01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:36.359 I'm just going to leave that behind because you're not 1860 01:25:36.399 --> 01:25:38.399 really supposed to be carrying these other weapons aroute all 1861 01:25:38.399 --> 01:25:40.000 the time. You're supposed to just kind of have your blaster. 1862 01:25:40.279 --> 01:25:42.159 So there's not like a ton of depth there. There 1863 01:25:42.159 --> 01:25:46.159 are issues, but I am very easily able to ignore 1864 01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:47.960 the issues because I'm having fun in so many other 1865 01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:50.479 ways and though the issues are such that they don't 1866 01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:53.119 get in the way of that fun too frequently, and 1867 01:25:53.159 --> 01:25:55.119 the best parts of the game are the setting. It 1868 01:25:55.159 --> 01:25:57.880 really does nail the look and feel of Star Wars 1869 01:25:57.880 --> 01:25:59.680 in a lot of ways. You get your cool ship, 1870 01:25:59.760 --> 01:26:01.520 and the ship is a cool place to hang out. 1871 01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:04.119 You're then filling out the ship with cool people like 1872 01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:06.720 that that droid that I got on my crew now, 1873 01:26:07.039 --> 01:26:10.039 who is as cool as advertised. He's like you have 1874 01:26:10.119 --> 01:26:10.760 that trench. 1875 01:26:10.520 --> 01:26:11.359 Hot on hell? 1876 01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:14.399 Yeah, hot as hell. N D five I think is 1877 01:26:14.439 --> 01:26:16.840 his name's. He's also you know, kind of gruff with 1878 01:26:16.880 --> 01:26:17.479 you early on. 1879 01:26:17.600 --> 01:26:19.800 That's you know, and that's style destiny. 1880 01:26:20.000 --> 01:26:21.239 Oh my bad, Yeah, of course. 1881 01:26:22.279 --> 01:26:24.560 And then it was a good joke. 1882 01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:26.920 Yeah, well done the dude. Yeah, absolutely should we should 1883 01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:30.319 have stopped the show and said that more. And I 1884 01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:32.680 think the where I'm at with it now is as 1885 01:26:32.720 --> 01:26:35.720 long as these missions stay pretty varied and and give 1886 01:26:35.760 --> 01:26:38.520 me enough to like, you know, within the the lanes 1887 01:26:38.560 --> 01:26:40.760 that they're working in, which is again like stealth and 1888 01:26:40.800 --> 01:26:43.520 some combat here and there, And as long as I'm 1889 01:26:43.560 --> 01:26:45.920 seeing cool new places, I'm probably gonna stick with it. 1890 01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:47.840 I just got to a snow planet that looks so 1891 01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:51.159 neat and I can now travel, but not a different 1892 01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:53.800 snow planet. Yes, yeah, this is a Is it salt 1893 01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:55.920 and stead It might be maybe it could be a 1894 01:26:55.920 --> 01:26:58.239 mixture between snow and salt. This time, you know, somewhere 1895 01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:01.680 in between. This one's like where criminals saying it's a 1896 01:27:01.680 --> 01:27:04.399 cocaine Yeah, hell yeah, there we go. Everyone's doing blow 1897 01:27:04.600 --> 01:27:07.479 on the blow planet. I could like travel to Tatooin. 1898 01:27:07.560 --> 01:27:09.720 Now I haven't done that yet, but uh yeah. And 1899 01:27:09.760 --> 01:27:11.720 now that I'm like traveling to different planets and getting 1900 01:27:11.720 --> 01:27:13.880 different settings, the game's opened up even more and I 1901 01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:15.079 am deeply enjoying it. 1902 01:27:15.359 --> 01:27:17.199 Yeah, it seems like there is a lot of people like, 1903 01:27:17.239 --> 01:27:19.520 oh no, this game is good, although it's a little 1904 01:27:19.520 --> 01:27:21.319 weird because everyone's like, wow, the reviews are wrong. This 1905 01:27:21.399 --> 01:27:24.319 game is good even though like the reviews are positive 1906 01:27:24.479 --> 01:27:28.319 in that seventy range, which which means good. I guess 1907 01:27:28.319 --> 01:27:30.720 my question is do you think it reviewed lower than 1908 01:27:30.720 --> 01:27:31.079 it should? 1909 01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:34.159 Absolutely not, No, no, no. I think this is a 1910 01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:36.920 This is a fun seven. I really would describe it 1911 01:27:36.920 --> 01:27:38.119 that way. And I think there's people who are going 1912 01:27:38.159 --> 01:27:40.399 to play it and be like, none of this is 1913 01:27:40.439 --> 01:27:42.359 working for me, and the Star Wars stuff only goes 1914 01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:45.039 so far and they will bounce off it hard and 1915 01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:46.680 that's a bad seven for them. But for me, it's 1916 01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:50.199 been a fun, good, solid seven where it does enough 1917 01:27:50.319 --> 01:27:53.079 right that it is very easy for me to ignore 1918 01:27:53.079 --> 01:27:55.920 the things that that are that are maybe subpar, and 1919 01:27:55.960 --> 01:27:58.479 that stuff is there and I want to always throw 1920 01:27:58.479 --> 01:28:00.399 it out there so people are aware. But then I 1921 01:28:00.439 --> 01:28:03.239 can't help that me personally. As I play the game, 1922 01:28:03.399 --> 01:28:04.119 I'm enjoying it. 1923 01:28:04.800 --> 01:28:06.600 Yeah, it's it's it's. 1924 01:28:07.119 --> 01:28:09.479 This is such a difficult game to try and demo 1925 01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:12.319 at a trade show because you are not going to 1926 01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:15.079 get the stealth aspect or being be immersed in the 1927 01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:19.119 world where this game is really firing off on all cylinders. 1928 01:28:19.439 --> 01:28:21.319 There's portions of this game where I'm you know, just 1929 01:28:21.439 --> 01:28:23.680 doing the open world thing of like I'm just gonna watch. 1930 01:28:23.520 --> 01:28:24.600 These people for a little bit. 1931 01:28:24.800 --> 01:28:25.720 Yeah, people watch. 1932 01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:31.000 It's great because God, I walked out of the demo 1933 01:28:31.039 --> 01:28:33.960 from games Com absolutely hating the game. 1934 01:28:35.079 --> 01:28:36.119 I remember you were not. 1935 01:28:36.439 --> 01:28:39.159 Yeah, just like the visual language, like the film grain 1936 01:28:39.239 --> 01:28:43.000 that they add on top of it. Everything's so difficult 1937 01:28:43.000 --> 01:28:47.359 to find in the exploration bits, and the shooting just 1938 01:28:47.359 --> 01:28:51.039 felt god awful. But thankfully that changes as you are 1939 01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:54.159 upgrading your gun a little bit and you're trying not 1940 01:28:54.279 --> 01:28:57.199 to wind up in those big shootout segments because it 1941 01:28:57.279 --> 01:28:59.560 just doesn't behoove you to to to get into those 1942 01:29:01.319 --> 01:29:04.920 I agree with you grab one hundred percent. This makes 1943 01:29:04.960 --> 01:29:09.520 me want to really have an open world pod racing game. 1944 01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:15.119 Yeah, just just let me climb up the pod racing 1945 01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:18.159 circuit in Tattooing, let me go on to do my. 1946 01:29:18.159 --> 01:29:21.399 Backdoor deals and stuff and things like that and stealing 1947 01:29:21.439 --> 01:29:23.479 stuff and then yeah, that would be. 1948 01:29:23.439 --> 01:29:26.880 Great instead of my summer podracer, instead of Nix on 1949 01:29:26.920 --> 01:29:29.119 my shoulder and me telling Nix to go futz with 1950 01:29:29.239 --> 01:29:32.880 like a stormtrooper. Let me send watto out, let me 1951 01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:35.600 send to distract someone and then then like we steal 1952 01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:38.319 some pod racing parts from some point. 1953 01:29:38.399 --> 01:29:40.920 I think the the underground element is what this game 1954 01:29:41.000 --> 01:29:42.560 is doing the best of, like making you feel like 1955 01:29:42.560 --> 01:29:45.399 you are part of this underground and I am starting 1956 01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:48.000 to get to some of the more interesting interactions between 1957 01:29:48.039 --> 01:29:51.119 the different factions now that there's four factions that I've 1958 01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:54.520 actually fully met now and uh yeah, it does feel 1959 01:29:54.520 --> 01:29:56.359 like you are bouncing around as a criminal that these 1960 01:29:56.399 --> 01:29:58.600 people all kind of need. So that's the only reason 1961 01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:00.920 they haven't killed you until like you piss off one 1962 01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:02.880 enough and they're like, forget it, we're gonna kill you. 1963 01:30:03.720 --> 01:30:04.960 It's it's a lot of fun. 1964 01:30:05.239 --> 01:30:07.800 I also like what's Sibaba up to these days? 1965 01:30:07.880 --> 01:30:09.920 Think about him a lot. I'll be out a minute. 1966 01:30:10.239 --> 01:30:12.960 He didn't die in the end of episode one. You know, 1967 01:30:13.199 --> 01:30:16.039 you think like you think, like when Anakin became Darth Vader. 1968 01:30:16.520 --> 01:30:18.840 He's like, okay, I got a lot of old scores 1969 01:30:18.880 --> 01:30:21.439 to settle and he went back to tattooy and he's like, 1970 01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:23.520 where's that fucker's sebalba at? 1971 01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:25.600 He called me Bantapoodu or something. 1972 01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:27.880 I just googled it. He was on the Red Carpet 1973 01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:30.840 with Sabrina Carpenter for Nubes, So there you are. Oh wow, okay, 1974 01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:31.359 so he. 1975 01:30:31.399 --> 01:30:34.760 Did fine, wow, the interesting suit. I do like Kves 1976 01:30:34.760 --> 01:30:35.439 as a character. 1977 01:30:35.920 --> 01:30:38.920 Uh yeah, me too. She's growing on me a lot. 1978 01:30:39.279 --> 01:30:45.079 Yeah, as compared to Calcastus, who I barely remember sometimes. 1979 01:30:45.199 --> 01:30:48.079 Yeah, Calkestis needed the aid of his friends a lot 1980 01:30:48.119 --> 01:30:51.439 more than Kves does.

Are do you think they're underestimating 2143 01:38:41.960 --> 01:38:43.760 or do you think they feel they got a huge 2144 01:38:43.840 --> 01:38:45.840 hit on their hands. If this does well, are we 2145 01:38:45.880 --> 01:38:49.079 going to get Astro cart Astro Party, Astro Tennis, super 2146 01:38:49.119 --> 01:38:52.239 Astra World.

That sounds 2149 01:39:03.399 --> 01:39:06.560 great to me. I think the expectations are high. I 2150 01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:10.119 hope they're not like crazy high. I hope it's not 2151 01:39:10.159 --> 01:39:12.479 like ten million copies. I hope it's like five to seven. 2152 01:39:12.600 --> 01:39:15.640 And even that seems pretty you know because look back 2153 01:39:15.640 --> 01:39:18.720 at like what Ratchet and Clink did. Yeah, that seems 2154 01:39:18.720 --> 01:39:21.720 pretty high even for this game. Although if it comes 2155 01:39:21.720 --> 01:39:23.840 out and it is like the one big single player 2156 01:39:23.880 --> 01:39:25.960 game as it is, and and Sony puts as much 2157 01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:28.279 market into as it feels like it's going to, and 2158 01:39:28.359 --> 01:39:31.199 it is current currently doing, and the game does really 2159 01:39:31.239 --> 01:39:34.399 well with reviews, I think all of that confluence of 2160 01:39:34.439 --> 01:39:36.479 events can make sure that the game really does very well. 2161 01:39:36.520 --> 01:39:39.439 But this is the one main game that PlayStation has 2162 01:39:39.439 --> 01:39:42.520 this holiday, just sort of by by those circumstances. That's 2163 01:39:42.640 --> 01:39:44.199 it's there's a lot riding on it. 2164 01:39:44.520 --> 01:39:47.479 I hope there's not like extra pressure on it now 2165 01:39:47.640 --> 01:39:51.920 because of what happened to Concord, But some are unfair 2166 01:39:52.079 --> 01:39:52.640 that the. 2167 01:39:52.680 --> 01:39:55.000 Business chorice where they'd be like, sure would be nice 2168 01:39:55.039 --> 01:39:57.199 if you guys get those extra couple of million copies 2169 01:39:57.239 --> 01:39:59.680 sold that you know that, then we can make sure 2170 01:39:59.720 --> 01:40:01.359 everyone going to be okay. That kind of those kind 2171 01:40:01.399 --> 01:40:02.920 of conversations might be happening. 2172 01:40:02.960 --> 01:40:05.840 It does feel like there's a gigantic space for Astrobot 2173 01:40:06.000 --> 01:40:09.159 to succeed because we don't have a new Mario game 2174 01:40:09.159 --> 01:40:12.359 this year. There isn't like some type of three D 2175 01:40:12.439 --> 01:40:15.600 platformer that's like blowing up the world, and Astrobot has 2176 01:40:15.640 --> 01:40:19.079 at least has some name recognition with the previous titles, right. 2177 01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:21.720 I mean, and Sony's like never really made a three 2178 01:40:21.760 --> 01:40:25.680 D platformer like this, right, Like they've had their like 2179 01:40:25.800 --> 01:40:28.640 action platformers. 2180 01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:31.319 And yeah, Rats and Blank and Jack and daxterns. 2181 01:40:31.600 --> 01:40:35.840 They have plenty of you know, platforming elements, but probably. 2182 01:40:35.600 --> 01:40:37.520 Jack and Daxter one is the last time there was 2183 01:40:37.560 --> 01:40:40.119 one that such a pure platformer first. 2184 01:40:40.399 --> 01:40:42.760 Yeah, and that has obviously been in a hot while. 2185 01:40:43.159 --> 01:40:46.560 I guess I'm curiously what is the effect of basically 2186 01:40:46.600 --> 01:40:49.359 every PS five came with the predecessor of this. Right, 2187 01:40:49.439 --> 01:40:53.119 so in theory, anybody everybody has a PS five got 2188 01:40:53.159 --> 01:40:56.399 to play the last Astro game and hopefully really liked it, 2189 01:40:56.479 --> 01:41:00.520 and hopefully that kind of turns into itself the best 2190 01:41:00.560 --> 01:41:03.039 marketing pitch ever for this full blown sequel. 2191 01:41:03.119 --> 01:41:06.920 Now, yeah, you know, like I was thinking the other day, 2192 01:41:06.960 --> 01:41:10.119 I'd like to play another Crash bandicoot, perhaps a spiral 2193 01:41:10.199 --> 01:41:13.720 because that story came out. But you know, maybe I'll 2194 01:41:13.760 --> 01:41:20.640 just wait for Astro to play, like right, Yeah, Jesus Christ, 2195 01:41:21.199 --> 01:41:25.399 what a man. I can't wait. I can't wait all right. 2196 01:41:25.520 --> 01:41:30.600 Next email is about Mike Manatti and singer songwriter Jesse j. 2197 01:41:32.359 --> 01:41:36.000 So last week's show, Jesse Jay was brought up and 2198 01:41:36.079 --> 01:41:38.640 the song price Tag, which Mike recognized only after humming 2199 01:41:38.680 --> 01:41:42.880 a few bars of the song. I'm curious, however, did 2200 01:41:43.000 --> 01:41:45.000 Mike only know about this song because of the Bardon 2201 01:41:45.079 --> 01:41:47.800 Bella's and their stellar finals performance from Pitch Perfect one. 2202 01:41:48.119 --> 01:41:50.119 No shame if this is true, but I feel as 2203 01:41:50.159 --> 01:41:53.520 though this nontroversy needs to be called out. Owen from 2204 01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:55.159 White Bear Lake, Minnesota. 2205 01:41:56.880 --> 01:42:02.239 I've only ever seen Pitch Perfect three, which is really weird. 2206 01:42:02.279 --> 01:42:05.279 There was a whole kind of like spy subplot in 2207 01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:10.199 that one. It wasn't a raider good what what was 2208 01:42:10.279 --> 01:42:10.800 going on? 2209 01:42:10.960 --> 01:42:12.000 It was? It was bad. 2210 01:42:12.039 --> 01:42:13.520 It was I think it was one of those things 2211 01:42:13.520 --> 01:42:15.640 where it was like Christmas and like all of our 2212 01:42:15.680 --> 01:42:17.560 friends want to see a Christmas movie, and the movie 2213 01:42:17.600 --> 01:42:19.640 we wanted to see was sold out, so we saw 2214 01:42:19.960 --> 01:42:21.000 Pitch perfect. 2215 01:42:20.880 --> 01:42:24.359 Those I thought you were describing the plot of the 2216 01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:25.039 movie at first. 2217 01:42:25.039 --> 01:42:27.079 I'm like, I don't remember Christmas stuff in it. 2218 01:42:27.359 --> 01:42:28.840 No, Christmas is not involved. 2219 01:42:29.159 --> 01:42:32.600 No, I know price tech because like that that was 2220 01:42:32.600 --> 01:42:33.880 the period of time when I was working at a 2221 01:42:33.880 --> 01:42:36.239 pizza shop and that's the music just played the greatest. 2222 01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:37.079 Yeah. 2223 01:42:37.159 --> 01:42:40.840 So like any like circa tooth, like twenty eleven or 2224 01:42:40.960 --> 01:42:43.319 twenty ten pop pits, I. 2225 01:42:43.239 --> 01:42:48.560 Know all our original radio yeah s and m yeah. 2226 01:42:48.600 --> 01:42:51.199 Like I'm very up to speed on anything that was 2227 01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:53.119 popular ten twelve years ago. 2228 01:42:53.159 --> 01:42:55.479 Like who do you think is superior an a cappella group 2229 01:42:55.640 --> 01:42:57.439 or a you know what? Never mind, I'm gonna ask 2230 01:42:57.560 --> 01:43:01.079 Dan this, Dan, who do you think is more superior 2231 01:43:01.640 --> 01:43:05.840 an a cappella group or a barbershop quartet? 2232 01:43:07.319 --> 01:43:09.479 I thought that when you said both of them I 2233 01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:11.640 was just picturing the b sharps from The Simpsons? 2234 01:43:11.680 --> 01:43:16.399 Are they not both? No, that's a barbershop not acapella only. 2235 01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:21.720 I can't thinknically, but like acappella is like also making 2236 01:43:21.800 --> 01:43:24.720 instruments and barshop quartets don't do that, right, They're just singing, right. 2237 01:43:24.800 --> 01:43:27.640 Yeah, well, I guess the acapellas like the where in 2238 01:43:27.680 --> 01:43:29.199 the world is Carmen san Diego band? 2239 01:43:29.520 --> 01:43:30.840 That's rockepella. 2240 01:43:31.279 --> 01:43:33.720 Okay, okay, in that case. 2241 01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:36.720 On the ground where everyone understood what was happening. 2242 01:43:36.920 --> 01:43:39.560 I like that Carmen san Diego theme song a lot. 2243 01:43:39.600 --> 01:43:42.119 So let's go with my rockapella against I. 2244 01:43:42.119 --> 01:43:44.119 Think I think I prefer acapella as well. 2245 01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:47.760 Okay, Zimbabwe, Ohio to check. 2246 01:43:47.720 --> 01:43:50.399 Us, great great show. 2247 01:43:50.760 --> 01:43:53.399 If a barbershop quartet perhaps, I don't know. I had 2248 01:43:53.760 --> 01:43:56.920 more updated and up tempo songs. Y'all think you you 2249 01:43:56.920 --> 01:44:00.199 could mess with that more than an acappella group. 2250 01:44:01.560 --> 01:44:05.520 Sure. I like the barbershop quartet from that was the 2251 01:44:05.560 --> 01:44:06.800 best part of BioShock Infinite. 2252 01:44:06.840 --> 01:44:08.960 It was the biopiot was the definitely. 2253 01:44:12.720 --> 01:44:14.840 Yes, that was Yeah, you're right, I mean the whole 2254 01:44:14.880 --> 01:44:17.039 intro was the best part of BioShock infinite because it 2255 01:44:17.119 --> 01:44:19.880 seemed like it had a concentrated idea of what it 2256 01:44:20.159 --> 01:44:21.800 was going to be about at that point, and then 2257 01:44:21.880 --> 01:44:22.880 multiverse happened. 2258 01:44:23.680 --> 01:44:27.640 Hey you pekabus, we cauld celebrate ah cupell for next August. 2259 01:44:27.760 --> 01:44:30.359 So no, we don't have to do that, Dan, Dan's 2260 01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:31.479 gonna be singing everybody to watch that. 2261 01:44:31.800 --> 01:44:33.479 There we go, There we go, all right. 2262 01:44:33.720 --> 01:44:37.560 Next email comes from Levi and they're asking about console advice. Hey, Bombers, 2263 01:44:38.000 --> 01:44:40.600 I haven't gone into the latest console generation yet. New 2264 01:44:40.720 --> 01:44:42.880 is this PS four and I guess technically switch. I 2265 01:44:42.960 --> 01:44:45.359 don't have a gaming PC, but I'm planning on getting 2266 01:44:45.439 --> 01:44:48.159 a new console in time for GTA six next year. 2267 01:44:48.479 --> 01:44:51.880 So my question is PS five or Xbox. Aside from 2268 01:44:51.880 --> 01:44:54.399 a slight preference for the Xbox Controller, I don't have 2269 01:44:54.439 --> 01:44:57.279 strong feelings either way. I'd mostly be playing single player 2270 01:44:57.319 --> 01:45:00.479 stuff and maybe occasionally sports or party game for couch 2271 01:45:00.520 --> 01:45:03.079 cop with the wife and family, regardless of which I 2272 01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:07.159 ultimately choose alway for until whatever the next version is released, 2273 01:45:07.439 --> 01:45:09.960 whether that's PS five pro, et cetera. Thanks in advance 2274 01:45:10.000 --> 01:45:12.119 for the help, love from North Carolina. 2275 01:45:12.239 --> 01:45:15.279 Levi, Well, there will be a PS five pro it 2276 01:45:15.319 --> 01:45:17.600 doesn't seem like there's going to be any kind of 2277 01:45:18.119 --> 01:45:22.000 improved Xbox. If you like want like the best one, 2278 01:45:22.159 --> 01:45:23.439 I guess you should go play Stage. 2279 01:45:23.479 --> 01:45:24.680 Yeah that sounds about right. 2280 01:45:25.279 --> 01:45:27.520 Yeah, unless you're like really big on the idea of 2281 01:45:28.000 --> 01:45:29.720 game Pass and you look at the list and you 2282 01:45:29.880 --> 01:45:32.079 like what's on there, because like I still I think 2283 01:45:32.159 --> 01:45:35.199 that game Pass is just a smoother experience than the 2284 01:45:35.840 --> 01:45:37.960 ninety tiers or whatever on PS five. 2285 01:45:38.199 --> 01:45:41.359 But uh yeah, if it wasn't for that, i'd say 2286 01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:42.239 PS five. 2287 01:45:42.640 --> 01:45:45.000 Right, they're looking to play single player games, you know. 2288 01:45:45.039 --> 01:45:48.279 There's Sony's got a lot of good single player Yeah. 2289 01:45:48.520 --> 01:45:50.479 Yeah, and there's been a bunch already released, so you're 2290 01:45:50.479 --> 01:45:52.560 getting it in it a good time where you'd be 2291 01:45:52.560 --> 01:45:54.840 able to play those games that are on on PS five. 2292 01:45:55.199 --> 01:45:56.880 Obviously some of those were on PS four. You saying 2293 01:45:56.880 --> 01:45:58.760 you're just getting into this generation, so maybe you've played 2294 01:45:58.800 --> 01:46:01.239 some of those. Maybe that affects things, But I don't know. 2295 01:46:01.359 --> 01:46:03.279 The safe bet right now feels like PS five. I 2296 01:46:03.319 --> 01:46:05.359 don't you end up with an Xbox, make sure you 2297 01:46:05.520 --> 01:46:08.359 make sure you're doing it for game Pass, as Dan says, yes. 2298 01:46:08.640 --> 01:46:11.479 Yeah, forget like Xbox games are going on PlayStation now 2299 01:46:11.520 --> 01:46:13.800 play games are not going on, right, true, that's true. 2300 01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:15.720 Why I think the safe bets PlayStation yep? 2301 01:46:15.800 --> 01:46:23.159 Yeah, all right. Two more emails, This one comes from Sorry, yeah, 2302 01:46:23.319 --> 01:46:25.520 get that's the real answer, get a PC. 2303 01:46:28.039 --> 01:46:28.399 Aiden. 2304 01:46:28.760 --> 01:46:32.079 Adrian writes in the Pokemon Trainer Club had a data 2305 01:46:32.119 --> 01:46:34.760 breach which allows someone to hack my account and take 2306 01:46:34.800 --> 01:46:38.439 control of my Niantic user name and lose access. 2307 01:46:38.119 --> 01:46:38.760 To their apps. 2308 01:46:39.279 --> 01:46:43.039 I lost eight years of playing Pokemon Go. That's a 2309 01:46:43.079 --> 01:46:45.600 whole content, as well as Monster Hunter now, et cetera. 2310 01:46:45.840 --> 01:46:48.239 As of last week, Niantick sent me to Google. 2311 01:46:48.359 --> 01:46:49.079 Google sent me to. 2312 01:46:49.159 --> 01:46:52.199 Niantic Trainer Club washed their hands of it. Niantics take 2313 01:46:52.239 --> 01:46:55.079 at this point is start over. It's not that they 2314 01:46:55.159 --> 01:46:56.479 can't do anything. 2315 01:46:56.199 --> 01:46:58.920 As they completely restored the account of an influencer earlier 2316 01:46:58.960 --> 01:47:02.760 this year, they choose not to. I'm heartbroken. 2317 01:47:03.119 --> 01:47:05.119 I lost eight years of playing with friends and family, 2318 01:47:05.479 --> 01:47:08.279 connections made all over the world, and now any future 2319 01:47:08.319 --> 01:47:10.800 plans are pretty much shot. It was something we all 2320 01:47:10.840 --> 01:47:12.680 look forward to and has been taken away from all 2321 01:47:12.760 --> 01:47:13.000 of us. 2322 01:47:13.359 --> 01:47:14.199 I can't bring. 2323 01:47:14.119 --> 01:47:18.039 Myself to go back. So two questions. One, why isn't 2324 01:47:18.079 --> 01:47:21.680 this story about Niantic's policies a bigger thing. Two, have 2325 01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:24.239 you or any of the crew had a gaming loss 2326 01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:26.960 that was so devastating it made you never go back 2327 01:47:27.000 --> 01:47:29.279 to the game. Thanks Aul, keep up the good work. 2328 01:47:29.560 --> 01:47:31.000 Adrian from Parlan, New Jersey. 2329 01:47:32.840 --> 01:47:35.000 We were just talking to doctor Ryan. I remember him 2330 01:47:35.039 --> 01:47:38.159 talking in chat before about like losing his Xbox account 2331 01:47:38.199 --> 01:47:39.720 and not being able to get it back and so 2332 01:47:39.840 --> 01:47:42.079 he lost all his game purchases and that really soured 2333 01:47:42.159 --> 01:47:46.239 him on Xbox. And I was like, yeah, I've heard 2334 01:47:46.399 --> 01:47:48.560 those kinds of horror stories for a lot of different things, 2335 01:47:48.560 --> 01:47:50.439 and I think that's the reason that the answer the 2336 01:47:50.520 --> 01:47:53.399 first question why this isn't a bigger thing. A lot 2337 01:47:53.479 --> 01:47:56.279 of these companies have this have a similar policy where 2338 01:47:56.359 --> 01:47:58.600 for some reason they just won't restore most of these 2339 01:47:59.159 --> 01:48:02.000 people's accounts most of the time. And I don't know 2340 01:48:02.560 --> 01:48:04.479 how they come to that decision, but it is weird 2341 01:48:04.880 --> 01:48:07.279 because I wouldn't blame you for never going back to 2342 01:48:07.359 --> 01:48:08.560 this game. That's what I would do. 2343 01:48:08.840 --> 01:48:13.479 Yeah, oh, same, Especially to play eight years in Pokemon Go, 2344 01:48:13.800 --> 01:48:16.760 you were spending a significant amount of money. Because you 2345 01:48:16.840 --> 01:48:20.359 cannot play that game for eight years and not spend 2346 01:48:20.399 --> 01:48:21.960 money at it and have a good time with it. 2347 01:48:22.159 --> 01:48:25.680 So I think that's the that's the stuff that stings especially, 2348 01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:28.640 is that I've given you so much money at this point, 2349 01:48:28.720 --> 01:48:29.479 nantick right. 2350 01:48:30.399 --> 01:48:31.880 Right, then they will give you a time of day 2351 01:48:31.960 --> 01:48:33.960 and like and it's so obvious that, like if you 2352 01:48:34.039 --> 01:48:36.199 had some kind of big Twitter following or something, then 2353 01:48:36.239 --> 01:48:37.119 they would sure. 2354 01:48:38.119 --> 01:48:41.640 Funny enough, two of my instances where I stopped playing 2355 01:48:41.640 --> 01:48:44.159 a game for a while, one of them is Pokemon related. 2356 01:48:44.439 --> 01:48:47.840 The original Pokemon Blue. I had my whole group, I 2357 01:48:47.920 --> 01:48:50.920 caught as many Pokemon as I could, and for whatever reason, 2358 01:48:51.840 --> 01:48:56.079 I was battling a trainer and I turned off the game, 2359 01:48:56.279 --> 01:48:58.119 just a hard shut off on the Game Boy Color. 2360 01:48:58.600 --> 01:49:01.159 And I fired it back up an hour later and 2361 01:49:01.239 --> 01:49:04.680 I said, my save was corrupted. Oh my Pokemon were gone. 2362 01:49:06.239 --> 01:49:08.079 Did you have a missing know in your party? Did 2363 01:49:08.159 --> 01:49:09.680 not have a missing no on my party. 2364 01:49:10.079 --> 01:49:11.960 I was not smart enough to figure that out yet 2365 01:49:12.000 --> 01:49:12.560 as a child. 2366 01:49:14.039 --> 01:49:17.840 But all my Pokemon were gone. That's not good. 2367 01:49:19.119 --> 01:49:22.199 Gamer did a story recently about like shutting off computers 2368 01:49:22.279 --> 01:49:24.880 and games in the middle of like when the same 2369 01:49:24.920 --> 01:49:26.520 thing pops up, but they say, never turn off your 2370 01:49:26.560 --> 01:49:28.479 game to see when it happened. There was a lot 2371 01:49:28.520 --> 01:49:30.920 of like interesting results. Most of the time things were fine, 2372 01:49:30.960 --> 01:49:32.840 though the other. 2373 01:49:33.680 --> 01:49:36.840 Oh the other part of course, yeah, soured me on 2374 01:49:37.199 --> 01:49:42.079 the Beautiful Joe franchise and official PlayStation magazine. I don't 2375 01:49:42.079 --> 01:49:44.760 know if y'all remember there was a specific demo disc 2376 01:49:44.960 --> 01:49:47.960 that if you played Beautiful Joe either one or two 2377 01:49:48.640 --> 01:49:52.960 for whatever reason, it bricked or corrupted every save on 2378 01:49:53.039 --> 01:49:53.840 your memory card. 2379 01:49:54.279 --> 01:49:54.680 Remember that. 2380 01:49:55.000 --> 01:49:55.319 Wow? 2381 01:49:55.760 --> 01:49:58.039 And I remember having a fun time with that demo. 2382 01:49:58.119 --> 01:50:00.079 It's like, oh, I'm totally going to pick up Beautiful Joe.
