Yeah, 195 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:11.639 it was good. 196 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.360 What's bochie ball? 197 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:14.720 Oh, it's the best. 198 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.480 It's great Italian. 199 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.399 Yeah. I'm just letting Mike go because it might go 200 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.040 for it. 201 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.319 It's like shuffle board but with little uh rollie balls. 202 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.279 But my point of reference is curling. It's like curling, 203 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.120 but on grass. 204 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.360 And you can do it like a long like aisle 205 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.600 in a bar like with like a grass like big 206 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.720 grass surface, or you can do it outside and just 207 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.360 go around like a house or a farm or whatever 208 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.919 you want to do. But you can throw a tiny 209 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:40.480 ball and then you got to call the balls to 210 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.399 get close to Pauline. Yeah, it's I think it's like 211 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.000 a Poulino. 212 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.559 Look, I didn't want to get that Italian with you guys. 213 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.600 All right, it was your first time. 214 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.720 You throw the caravella and then you throw oh okay, okay, 215 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:54.440 and and then. 216 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.320 Yeah, it's like if you're closer than the other team, 217 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:57.720 you get that point, but then you have another. If 218 00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.840 you have another ball closer than the next ball from 219 00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:01.799 the the other team, you get two points. That sort 220 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.759 of thing. And we were going to twenty one, and 221 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.480 it was we had eighteen points and the other team 222 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.679 was pretty far behind me at this point that you 223 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.799 guys did, Dan and Tyler had about like nine, and we're, 224 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.480 you know, about to win. Mike just has to like 225 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.440 basically roll it in. He's done this a million times 226 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.159 in the game. We would have won, and instead he 227 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.519 did math bad and thought we had twenty one, we 228 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.279 only had twenty, and he drops the ball, so we 229 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.200 don't get that point turns rout. We won, and the 230 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.039 other teams like Tyler's like, I think, isn't that just 231 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:32.919 twenty And then I look at the spreadsheet we had 232 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.759 and yeah, and then Mike was very embarrassed. 233 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.600 But Mike also did it in the like super kind 234 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.240 of flourish like ha ha, I'm just gonna throw it 235 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.480 in front of me with yeah city boar. 236 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.279 And then Dana Tyler almost came back and won. It 237 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:47.639 was like they won the next. 238 00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:52.480 Several rounds and yeah, proper Olympians that I work with here. Wow, 239 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.279 we played a hook game. 240 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.759 We probably played soccer because I was telling Mike and 241 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.240 Mary about the hook game night. Mary Well, Mary was like, wait, 242 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.120 are you talking about ring toss. I was like, no, no, no, 243 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.159 it's not ring toss. And she said, you're describing ring 244 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.519 toss like it was something else, right, I. 245 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.240 Mean rand new I think maybe sixteen bit invented it. 246 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:10.679 Yeah, I never seen this before. 247 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.919 I mean you are tossing a ring. I ring toss 248 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.559 is like trying to get on bottles, right, yeah. 249 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.600 Yeah, it was something on the ground like posts. You know, 250 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.840 this is like a big ass like dartboard dart by 251 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.159 with hooks. On it and you got to throw the 252 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.440 rings out of the hooks. 253 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.559 And has similar dart style rules where you're trying to 254 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.679 get what we were trying to just and it showed up. 255 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:29.200 It's hooky. 256 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.960 Okay, it's hurkey Anyway, I was okay. Why that was 257 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.360 another one we did best two at three. It was 258 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.559 me and Mike versus Tyler and Dan as well and 259 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.399 Tyler someone from the industry, everyone referencing Tyler. Hy Tyler, 260 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:41.320 you were a lot of fun to hang out. 261 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:43.200 Tyler uh. 262 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.159 And we we won the first game and then we're 263 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.399 doing the second game, and I think that's when I 264 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.960 like got very locked in and started getting the highest 265 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.080 score on every single throw and I just kept doing it, 266 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:55.639 and Mike's like, wait, wait, wait, and I was so 267 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.879 locked in I didn't stop and I had gone over 268 00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.399 and that was against the rules, so we had to 269 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.120 actually sub act points from our score instead. 270 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.879 So too well is too well? 271 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.279 It's like, what did I say? It's like, you just 272 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.600 keep on throwing. 273 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:10.120 Keep on throwing. 274 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.600 It really really popped me. 275 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.639 And there was a soccer cage and yeah, shut your 276 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.960 sixteen bit in the West side of Cleveland. 277 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.000 Check it out, seriously, I've been to a bunch of 278 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.000 barcades and stuff and updowns and all that, and like 279 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:24.759 I love all of them, but like this is probably 280 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.240 the best one I've been to, Like between all the 281 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.879 different like bar games, the beer situation. The whole place 282 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.960 is really like clean and sharply laid out and everything. 283 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.159 Like the duck pin stuff downstairs. That place was awesome. 284 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.519 The duppen to me, please, it's bowling, but the ball 285 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:42.279 is smaller and there's more pins. Kids are on strings 286 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.159 and it's you get more fre you get three rolls 287 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.000 of frame. That's right. Yeah, so you have three roads. 288 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.000 But it's very easy, like if you're throwing it too 289 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.159 hard into like two like down the middle, I would 290 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.440 just hit the two in the middle and it would 291 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:53.320 just roll past all the rest. 292 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:57.080 Is it closer to a ski ball type of size or. 293 00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.639 Scar bigger than that somewhere and shoot ball it's. 294 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:01.720 About the size of a softball? 295 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:02.399 Okay? 296 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.320 Yeah, And that was a lot of fun as well, 297 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.759 And like I like began to understand what I needed 298 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.600 to do, but like Tyler immediately was just getting it correct. 299 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.240 It was like put a little bit of just a 300 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.679 tiny touch on it so that it would cause more chaos, 301 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.440 and I was just like he like heaving it down 302 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.679 there and was not working at all. Remember, and if 303 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.039 you're wondering why they didn't mention who won the soccer game, 304 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.360 it's because I swept and that I said you undefeated. 305 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.519 Okay, but that's true. 306 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:26.679 That's true.

Went through two games never 333 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.120 touching the ball, even though he was pivotal that I should. 334 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:31.039 Remember. 335 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.399 We went to Minati Liquors finally, we just like I'm 336 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:35.919 a Minati and he did not care. 337 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.919 As we walked in, I leaned over to grub and 338 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:40.000 it was like he's going to say something to the 339 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.440 guy about how saying that, yeah, you overlapped it, Like 340 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.759 my name's Minati, Like okay, He's like. 341 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.279 A lot of people here are and I was like, 342 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.159 well they aren't back home.

Okay, check out that 550 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.799 ost In preparation for uh fighting my own demons at 551 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.759 this Majong den, I've redownloaded a game called Majong Soul 552 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.720 ben Pack and I used to have a small, short 553 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.920 lived feature called Majong Mornings where him and I would 554 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.880 learn how to play Majong together and then eventually embark 555 00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:18.440 on this quest to play Majong properly. Majong Soul is 556 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.680 a gotcha style game. I think it recently re released 557 00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.480 on Steam, which is the reason why I re downloaded it, 558 00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.480 and it is it is exactly that you are playing 559 00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.559 against other folk, but it is all gotcha style in 560 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:36.160 terms of characters in the set dressings of Majong. In 561 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.319 terms of tutorialization learning how to play Majong, it's actually 562 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:44.160 pretty good compared to some other Majong games out there. 563 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:47.119 But if you do want to learn how to slap 564 00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:51.680 them tiles, I'd definitely recommend checking the tutorial for Majong 565 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:55.519 Soul out. It's free to download and then rip that cord, 566 00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:58.079 immediately delete that off of your phone because I've been 567 00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:01.200 playing too much Majong again. It is it is taking 568 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:04.279 over my life. I remember I started this year thinking 569 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.920 I want to embark on my poker era, and Poker 570 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.720 era has quickly diverted into Majong and it's bad. 571 00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:14.559 I wonder if I. 572 00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.599 Wonder what that is considered the best Majeong video game 573 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:19.440 of all time. I like to watch a lot of 574 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.079 YouTube videos where people were like, rapid fire a bunch 575 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.200 of games, and they'll include Japanese releases. So there's always 576 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.079 like a zillion mage on games that just never came 577 00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:29.920 out here. It's kind of hard for us to be like, well, 578 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.160 this is the good Majong game, and this is the 579 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:32.680 bad one. 580 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:36.359 I've heard good things about the Final Fantasy fourteen ma song. 581 00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:38.599 Yeah, I try to see that's that's the last one. 582 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:40.039 I was like, I'll learn this, and then I was like, 583 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:41.960 don't know what's going on. I think it tried to 584 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.599 teach me. I don't know what's going on there. 585 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.359 Uh you heard about that Majong blotro thing. 586 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:48.160 I was just about to talk. 587 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.000 It seems like that's a game primed to be bilatrode. 588 00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.799 I checked out the demo. It's called out ten Joe. 589 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:00.720 Sorry if I'm butchering that pronunciation. There is a demo 590 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.759 out on steam of and it is a Bolotro, Like 591 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:05.960 feels weird to say in the same year that Bolotro 592 00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:10.400 came out, so iconic already, so iconic already, and it 593 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:14.039 is exactly that it has all the trappings of Bolotro, 594 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.119 but is all Majong. They run you through how to 595 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:20.920 properly make the hands and everything, but it is it 596 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:26.319 isn't as snappy as Bolotro is, and you kind of 597 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.559 have to have an existing knowledge of everything going on 598 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:35.240 in Majong versus Bilochro. You can kind of get by 599 00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:39.599 just like matching collars, matching suits, and you can get 600 00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:42.440 by and blotro without knowing anything about poker. But in 601 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.400 now Tenjo, at least right now in the early bits 602 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.799 of it, it's doing the same thing where Okay, your 603 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.720 multiple multiplier is based off of how many tiles you're playing, 604 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.640 the type of suits that you're playing, whether you're it's 605 00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.759 a sequence of three matching three, whether or not you 606 00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:02.160 want your wind dragons, and every everything like that. It's okay, 607 00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:05.640 But also the art style is a little too simplistic 608 00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:10.039 to me. It's a little too uh, I missed the 609 00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:11.720 style of the steeze of Blatro. 610 00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:13.559 And this is just a demo, right It's not a 611 00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:15.039 full game yet. It's just a demo right now. 612 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.559 Yeah, I mean, you're right, I can see what you mean. 613 00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.480 It's like it seems more simple than Blacho, but it 614 00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.720 also looks a lot like buta like this. 615 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:25.960 It looks like a Blotro like d make for Super Nintendo. 616 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:28.519 That's all right, it's a little bit less of the riz. 617 00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:31.799 This one plan development after Blacho came. 618 00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.480 Yes, speaking of Bolotrom gambling, did you see what the 619 00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:38.000 creator Blatro said like seven hours ago? It looks like no, 620 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.079 he said, Uh, I hate the thought of Blatro becoming 621 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.920 a true gambling game so much that when I recently 622 00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:47.359 created my will, I stipulated that the Blatro IP may 623 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:50.480 never be sold or licensed to any gambling company or casino. 624 00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:52.880 That's cool, will yeah? 625 00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:55.839 Oh man, yeah, imagine again. It would be a very 626 00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.920 dark day if I like walked into a casino and 627 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:01.240 saw the Blattro licensed lot machine or something where your 628 00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:03.559 video poker machine. That would bum me out. So I'm 629 00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:05.279 glad that that is ALIGNE. 630 00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.200 Would bum you out if you saw me in front 631 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:07.799 of the machine. 632 00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:13.640 More so, only because then I would sit down next 633 00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:14.680 to you and start playing as well. 634 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:15.240 We would. 635 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:16.480 It would be a deep dark hole. 636 00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.079 And then we could all get free massages while we're playing. 637 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.200 Come on crab legs at the buffet. I like, I 638 00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:25.480 like like learning card games this way.

It was like, I like that idea, and 644 00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:41.279 I kind of wish I hadn't Majong with Grandma's or 645 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:44.960 something like that.

And it's got that real time stuff too. 704 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:17.960 If you're actually aiming and trying to ricochet shots and 705 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:20.599 seeing you know, I'm gonna activate this thing so I 706 00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:22.599 have less away and I can see the full line 707 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.000 of where my sniper shot is going to go every moment. 708 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.359 This game has been so satisfying to me, and I 709 00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:30.440 think it's going to be a perfect playing game. 710 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:34.680 Yes absolutely. I'm like I was intimidated first. I said 711 00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:36.920 this elsewhere that when I was at Summer Game Fest 712 00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:38.359 and they were like, here's a leader, say this is 713 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:40.680 about thirty hours in. I'm like, man, that's so much 714 00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:42.599 for a game like this. But I can now easily 715 00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:44.319 see myself getting lost in a lot of it. I 716 00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:46.400 don't know if I'm gonna if I'll beat it. There 717 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.200 is a point where I imagine I'm like, Okay, I 718 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:49.319 get it, and I'll let me do some of these 719 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:53.640 fun levels.

You know, they do sequels too, and 729 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.279 I'm glad we got a Heist too. I'm glad we 730 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:15.920 got a dig too. 731 00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:18.839 Yeah.

Yeah. 762 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:31.480 I think I want all these developers to eventually make 763 00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:33.680 an N sixty four inspired game. And that sounds like 764 00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:35.920 that's what shovel Night. What's what's happening with shovel Knight 765 00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:39.599 with Yaclub Games? And I hope all these developers do X. 766 00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:41.519 I love that. I love anytime it Indie to Studio 767 00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.039 goes from making two D games to making a sort 768 00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.160 of spiritual successor that feels like it would have came 769 00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:47.319 out on the X console. 770 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:49.400 It's kind of like what they did with the Messenger 771 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:51.839 were in one game you had the eight bit and 772 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:52.720 the sixteen bit version. 773 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.519 Yeah, I love that stuff rules. Yeah, that's good ship. 774 00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:59.279 It's good ship, Jeff Grob. I also see here that 775 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.319 you've been going on all guns blazing in Signy, All 776 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:03.039 guns Blazing. 777 00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:05.680 So this is one that I started playing last night. 778 00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:07.319 I'm like, I want to have a few extra things 779 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:09.799 to talk about on the BombCast. And I saw, actually 780 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:11.279 me and Dan were listening to the next night there's 781 00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:14.519 a Plan Rama episode on the way to the airport, 782 00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.079 and they mentioned it there and then Dan looked it 783 00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:18.960 up and it's like, oh, that looks like it's what's 784 00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.599 a student. 785 00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.079 Looks like a Housemark game? Sartially, Yeah, yes. 786 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.359 And it's and there's definitely a lot of inspiration there. 787 00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:26.680 What I think the easiest way for you to explain 788 00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:29.640 why it has clicked with me is it is what 789 00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.960 if all of the sort of thinking about the way 790 00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:36.440 shooting works that happened in Doom twenty sixteen was applied 791 00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:39.039 to a shoot him up? It feels like the Doom 792 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:42.920 twenty sixteen of shoot him up? So you are yeah, uh. 793 00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:47.519 Signy sounds like an old like Mac game I used 794 00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:48.960 to play in computer Lab. 795 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.079 Yeah, it's the name does have sort of a familiar 796 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.359 ring to it. And I'm like, I can't place it exactly, but. 797 00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:56.039 Uh, basically it is. 798 00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:59.599 It's a bullet hell shooter and you are your little ship. 799 00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:04.000 But the way that it deals with health and firing 800 00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:06.759 is that you have an energy system where you could 801 00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.119 put energy into your shields or into your weapons, and 802 00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:10.840 you control that with the left and right bumper. To 803 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.039 go left, you're gonna have more shields, if you go right, 804 00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.199 you're gonna have You're gonna do more damage with your weapons. 805 00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:18.679 I'll say that the sound design on that when you 806 00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:21.320 were putting more energy into your weapons, the sound of 807 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.000 the impact of the bullets sounds so much better. So 808 00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:26.000 it satisfying kind of makes you want to take that 809 00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:27.239 risk and the risk reward. 810 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:28.480 But the. 811 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:31.760 So as you're taking hits and you're kind of it's 812 00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:34.599 gonna be kind of unavoidable to take hits in some circumstances, 813 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.199 you're gonna try to minimize that, but you are gonna 814 00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.199 want to go from energy cell to energy sell as 815 00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:42.840 that these enemies drop as you're fighting them. So it's like, Okay, 816 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:44.000 I took a little bit of damage, but if I 817 00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:46.199 can go get that energy, I could put more energy 818 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:49.480 back into my shields and survive the next encounter. And 819 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.960 once I started got that loop this game just immediately 820 00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:55.599 was like, oh my god, this feels so good. So 821 00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:57.760 I am really into what they're doing here. I'm still 822 00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.159 pretty early. The levels are very long, but I am 823 00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:04.239 on it. I'm operating on its wavelength now, and I 824 00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:06.440 was like, oh, this feels fantastic. So yea, I'm gonna 825 00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.079 be playing a lot more Sydney. You plan on a 826 00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:10.599 Steam Deck, Yeah, steam Deck runs great. Okay, it runs 827 00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:13.960 really great. The music is excellence. Got this like operatic 828 00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:16.440 score and stuff like that that makes all the action 829 00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:17.679 feel very cinematic. 830 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:20.320 So I was gonna ask because like, I've looked this 831 00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.639 up on Steam and like the user reviews are mixed, 832 00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:24.039 and one of the things I saw was like the 833 00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:27.239 music doesn't fit at all. And I think most people 834 00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:29.719 are just complaining about the price. It's thirty dollars and 835 00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:31.800 they're saying, oh, it's very pretty, but I don't know 836 00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:33.159 I worth it. 837 00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:35.679 I think it's going to have a very tough first 838 00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:40.159 impression because you need to do the tutorial, and even 839 00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:42.119 then you're not I don't think it's going to be 840 00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.400 very easy to understand exactly that you need to be 841 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:47.800 willing to take shots, and that's not really how bull 842 00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:49.800 hell shooters have worked. You are supposed to try to 843 00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.719 avoid damage as much as possible in those games, and 844 00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:54.719 so I think you need to kind of get over 845 00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.480 a little hump. And my first impression was like, this 846 00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.360 is frustrating, I'm gonna bounce and so it it took 847 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.519 me a minute to get over that. But now that 848 00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:04.719 I am, I don't know. Now that I'm with it, 849 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.119 I feel like this game is doing some cool, interesting 850 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:09.159 new stuff in this genre in the way that, like, 851 00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:11.920 you know, the Streets of Rage four and stuff did 852 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:14.400 new stuff for for beat them ups and stuff like that. 853 00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:16.760 I'm like, I'm feeling very similar to this. 854 00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:21.039 And when's the last time y'all were interested in a schmup? 855 00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:22.360 I hate using that word, but. 856 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.599 I want to be them. I want to be more interested, 857 00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:26.239 more frequently, and this feels like this is the one 858 00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:26.519 that's going. 859 00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:29.199 To get me. Do you count many shoot adventures that 860 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:34.239 is different and that's. 861 00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:36.920 Such a I mean, listen, that's a good idea, like 862 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.960 a good twist in a different direction for this, but yeah, 863 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:42.679 this is still just in that shooter shoot them up 864 00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:43.360 genre is. 865 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:47.840 Like a bullet hell different than a shoot them up. 866 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:51.840 Or it's like a Yeah. 867 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:54.519 I had a weird like kind of schmup phase I 868 00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:57.559 think last year, just like going through some old retro ones, 869 00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.679 like I was playing stuff like our type and grattiest 870 00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:01.239 that I ever really played before. 871 00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:04.199 Oh freaking thunder Force four. 872 00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:06.920 Squadron. Good. 873 00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.800 Yes, I've been keep waiting from the ADU and Squadron 874 00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.719 to Superintendent n s O and they just won't the cowards. Yeah, 875 00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.280 I kind of have beinach up moods. I've I've downloaded 876 00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:19.519 Radiant Silver Gun on my switch and I haven't played 877 00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:21.199 it yet one too, so. 878 00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:26.719 Yep, I think for for shoot it's probably going all 879 00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:29.639 the way back to Ikaruga when it was like really 880 00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.519 from my frobbing demand for this game increases and all that. 881 00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:34.880 And then since it's like I've kind of been waiting 882 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:38.679 for that next moment for the genre to evolve, and 883 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:40.159 for me, I feel like it's mostly here with this, 884 00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:41.840 so I'm very excited about it. 885 00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.320 Yeah. I'm not not to invoke the Hades model, but like, 886 00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:49.159 man add that ship to a roguelike. 887 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.480 I mean yeah, and there is some Hades here as well. 888 00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.440 Where it just does feel like you are don't be 889 00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:57.480 so afraid of attacks. Maybe sometimes you can use that 890 00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.519 to your advantage and kind of just running at the action. 891 00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:02.840 That's very doom. But also that's how I felt about 892 00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:03.800 Hades after a while too. 893 00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:09.880 Yes, Near Automata maybe the last schmup sart of it. 894 00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.079 It was a little disciplined because like that first level 895 00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:14.360 has a lot of schmup like elements, and that stuff 896 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:17.360 kind of gets deemphasized pretty quickly as you get further 897 00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:18.440 into that game. 898 00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:21.119 Maternal kind of felt like it at times, you know, Yeah. 899 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.880 Yeah, definitely. Yeah, that's like that was like New Robotron. 900 00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:28.559 Yeah, yeah, God, I love the game well, going from 901 00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.880 painting the screen with bullets to painting the screen. Dan, 902 00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:33.239 you've been playing. 903 00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:35.079 It, Yeah, I just started that. 904 00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:39.639 Mary basically evoked the name of Powerwash Simulator, which I 905 00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:42.000 absolutely loved. It is one of the best, like make 906 00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:44.599 time melt away games I've ever played. Yeah, and it's 907 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.119 like the reverse of that. Instead of cleaning things up, 908 00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:49.280 you're like going into an area and it's totally just 909 00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:50.920 black and white. Kind of reminded me of like the 910 00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.960 Unfinished Swan if you remember that and you're just kind 911 00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:56.480 of like painting over things, but it's not super specific 912 00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:57.719 where it's like you don't have to like, oh, I'm 913 00:38:57.719 --> 00:38:59.920 picking green for the tree. I'm just you just pointed 914 00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:03.320 things and hold rt basically and pant over it and 915 00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:05.320 things fill in and you don't have to like pixel 916 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.320 hunt and get every last thing to fill it in. 917 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:09.400 It just kind of pops after you get most of it. 918 00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:12.320 But then yeah, you you were also kind of like 919 00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:16.199 putting together like an apartment you're renting. And as you 920 00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:18.760 create or as you paint objects, you can use them 921 00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.679 in paintings that you can then sell to a like 922 00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:24.199 cafe and put them on auction, and people will have 923 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:25.840 like requests like oh I want this type of painting 924 00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:27.280 or whatever, and it's like, okay, well I've got those 925 00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:29.039 items that I've painted and I can put that together. 926 00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:31.400 So like it's a weird mix of things. It's not 927 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.440 just the like powerwash thing of like oh, I'm just 928 00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:36.320 trying to paint everything here. It's also this like I 929 00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:38.159 kind of have this like Mario paint, you know, slapping 930 00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:40.679 stickers on and painting things the way I want to. 931 00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:44.320 It's I'm early on in it, but somewhere. It's been fun. 932 00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.400 It's got a cool art style, and the painting itself 933 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:47.599 feels very satisfying. 934 00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:49.880 How French is it? 935 00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:51.079 It seems pretty French? 936 00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.960 Okay, Yeah, that may that may skew folks. 937 00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:57.000 Yeah, I'd ask Mike Mahardi, but it'd be like a 938 00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:59.199 forty minute thing about wine if I evoke France. 939 00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:03.079 So yeah, when do you think of, Mike Mahardy? Do 940 00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:04.639 you think of a red wine or a white wine? 941 00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.480 Immediately right, I think of trying to change the topic 942 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:09.159 away from wine and quickly. 943 00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:15.639 Uh, Jeff Grub, you put on you put on the 944 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:16.039 list here? 945 00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:19.320 Old school rally? Yeah, old school rally. 946 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.360 This is when I was looking forward to definitely having 947 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.280 a racing game sort of mood right now. A big 948 00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:27.079 part of that, like I's always talking about like Ridge 949 00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:28.760 Racer and stuff like that. I'm like, yeah, the Bridge race. 950 00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:30.320 But also that always makes me think of a time 951 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:32.800 when I was super into Sega Rally Championship, especially in 952 00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:35.000 the arcade. I didn't play it at home too much, 953 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.079 but whenever I would go to the arcade, play Saga 954 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.320 Rally Championship. In Saga Rally Championship too. I really like 955 00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:42.519 the way those games feel like they just kind of 956 00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:46.360 nailed it right away, and old school Rally is trying 957 00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:50.199 to be exactly that, and to the point where it's 958 00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.880 even has the appearance and presentation of an older Sega 959 00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:57.519 Arcade game in terms of the graphic graphical fidelity and 960 00:40:57.599 --> 00:40:59.519 like the CRT filter that they put on top. They're 961 00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:02.199 trying to look like that. And it is one of 962 00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:05.199 those where, Okay, a spiritual successor from an indie studio, 963 00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.119 is it going to be able to capture that feeling? 964 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:09.159 Because why get that close if you're not going to 965 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:10.599 be if you're not going to go all the way, 966 00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:12.480 and if you don't get all the way, all those 967 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.519 little tiny differences can really add up, and you know, 968 00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:18.119 it's a the Uncanny Valley at a certain point where 969 00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:20.039 like you really feel the difference is when it's close 970 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:21.199 but not quite close enough. 971 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:23.840 This one is right. 972 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:27.039 On the borderline for me of being close enough. And 973 00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:28.840 I think part of that is, like I am I 974 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.639 need to pick the right vehicle. I had to pick 975 00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:33.039 the third one which has the best braking and handling, 976 00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:36.480 and when I did that, the power slides, which is 977 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:38.960 you know this sliding in a rally game or in 978 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:41.480 rally racing. I want that to feel really sharp and 979 00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:44.159 really snappy, and it does with that car. For the 980 00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:46.920 most part, it's still not to me. It still doesn't 981 00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:49.639 feel qui as good as Sega Rally Championship, but it's 982 00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:51.920 pretty close and it looks great and looks right on 983 00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:54.920 like what they're what they were going for. They accomplished, 984 00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:57.280 but it's another one. I was like, I think you 985 00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:59.320 need to play a little bit longer. And when I 986 00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:02.480 do that, the question is am I going to come 987 00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:04.079 back this game ever? Or am I going to just 988 00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:05.519 do what I always do and then go back and 989 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:08.039 keep playing Saga Rally Championship on my Steam deck or something, 990 00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:09.440 And that's probably what's gonna happen. 991 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:13.159 I am looking at these screenshots and it looks exactly 992 00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:16.400 like like boxy ass cars, Like this is what you want, Yeah, 993 00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:19.480 Sega Rally Championship. Is that just something you're emulating or 994 00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:20.519 is that on Steam proper? 995 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:24.320 That's that's something I was emulating. I emulated the PS 996 00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:26.760 two version, which I think is the best home release 997 00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:29.239 of that, and that runs really well on. 998 00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:31.519 STAT sixty frame second, didn't it? I remember that? Yes, 999 00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:32.320 looking real smooth. 1000 00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:34.159 Yeah, it looks. It looks great, you know, because they 1001 00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:36.480 were they struggled to get the sixty on the Dreamcast. 1002 00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:39.400 That's the big knock against that, and so when they 1003 00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:41.599 got to the PS two, they did a really good 1004 00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:44.119 job on that conversion, and it's it's fantastic. It's it's 1005 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.159 just the arcade game. So you're gonna have to get 1006 00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:47.800 good at those tracks because it's like, hey, we want 1007 00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:49.000 you to put more money in. It's like, well, I 1008 00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:51.239 own this game. Can I just beat this race? It's 1009 00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:53.159 like no, You've got to figure out every little trick 1010 00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:55.000 to actually beat all the courses when you're playing that 1011 00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:58.000 at home. But it's still Saga Rally Championship and it 1012 00:42:58.039 --> 00:42:59.039 feels real good. 1013 00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:03.119 Grab personal question for you here, please, I consider you 1014 00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:06.039 a big driving man. You like it like being behind 1015 00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:09.960 the wheel. When it comes to playing an arcade racing 1016 00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:11.800 game and you get the wheel in front of you, 1017 00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:14.400 are you still picking auto or are you going manual 1018 00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:15.199 for transmission? 1019 00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:19.480 It depends when I really get into a game. I'll 1020 00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:21.599 go manual. When I'm first starting out, I usually just 1021 00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:24.719 stick with auto. Now if it's a driving game and 1022 00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:28.719 not a racing game, like so the snow Runners of 1023 00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:31.880 the world. I'll do that in manual. Okay, Like there 1024 00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:33.599 is like times where it's like it just makes more 1025 00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:36.320 sense to keep this in auto. But having the option 1026 00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:38.400 to like actually get out my stick shift, which I 1027 00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:40.639 you know, I have and use that, I want to 1028 00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:43.320 take advantage of that. And when it's not like, oh 1029 00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:46.119 this is about power and about like dragging stuff up 1030 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:48.440 a hill, I want to be able to control the 1031 00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:50.639 gears a little bit because you know, lower gear, more power, 1032 00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:52.920 more torque, things like that. So I want to be 1033 00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:54.679 able to have full control over that. And it's fun 1034 00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:56.679 to like get in that. In a racing game, it's 1035 00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:59.760 more like, okay, am I in the right gear for 1036 00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:03.119 this this turn? I don't know, I've never really driven 1037 00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:05.000 on this track before, so it's a little bit more complicated, 1038 00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:06.239 so it takes a little bit more time. 1039 00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:12.079 Speaking of Ridge Racer, Jeff, I know you've been doing 1040 00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:14.880 that real deep domestication about the future that franchise. I 1041 00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:16.719 haven't asked you about a while. I wanted to let 1042 00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:19.440 you cook, but this may be is an appropriate time 1043 00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:21.440 to see if you have anything that you are I'm 1044 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:23.440 just willing to share with us at this moment. 1045 00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:27.159 I've just lost a tail the other night. I'm pretty 1046 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:29.159 sure it was sent by Bandy Namco. So I'm just 1047 00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:31.719 trying to lay low. I'm just a little bit worried 1048 00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:33.719 right now, Mike, So I'm afraid to say anything publicly, 1049 00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:34.760 but I'll try to get back to you as soon 1050 00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:35.079 as I can. 1051 00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.440 But we'll try to stay safe, but also maybe put 1052 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:39.599 your life on the line a little bit so we 1053 00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:41.599 can learn about Ridge Racer, you know, I will. 1054 00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:46.599 How many cat shines are in it, That's what that 1055 00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:47.280 series needs. 1056 00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:52.679 Speaking about going old school, Mike Minatti, you've been playing 1057 00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:56.760 a couple older games, starting with Dark Souls. 1058 00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:58.599 I beat Dark Souls. 1059 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:03.280 Finish that one up over the weekend, which that was 1060 00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:06.559 my first time playing that game. Playing through that game, 1061 00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:09.639 everyone still talks about it very fondly. Even with all 1062 00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:13.559 these sequels and spiritual successors. You know, I really enjoyed 1063 00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:15.519 Er Tree, and I still kind of had an appetite 1064 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:17.960 to play one of these games. So going back to 1065 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:20.559 it with that, you know that that remastered edition, right, 1066 00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.079 so some things are smoothed out. 1067 00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:23.079 The game runs really well. 1068 00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:26.800 Playing on Steam, it was great, right, Yeah, everybody's right. 1069 00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:30.760 That is still just fantastic game, really satisfying map. Right, 1070 00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:32.840 it's obviously not that open world style like an Elterer 1071 00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:35.920 ring the connected world type. Right, the connected world we're 1072 00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.119 kind of loops around itself, right, like like like a 1073 00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:40.800 Metroid vane. Yet now I don't like a Metroid venue. 1074 00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:43.360 You don't have like super fun, amazing movement. That makes 1075 00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.559 some of the backtracking stuff more interesting. What makes it 1076 00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:49.039 interesting is that you are still kind of clawing your 1077 00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:50.480 way through things, and then when you go back to 1078 00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.840 an old area, you're just so much stronger than you 1079 00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:54.800 were that first time, right, that it's fun to just 1080 00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:57.559 kind of like you know, ropper stomp your way through 1081 00:45:57.599 --> 00:45:59.440 these enemies that used to give you trouble. 1082 00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:01.280 I tuned. 1083 00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:04.079 I tuned into one of your streams when you're playing 1084 00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:06.280 Dark Souls Mike and your your character. You were not 1085 00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:08.559 under selling it. Your character was big. 1086 00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:10.800 Yeah, I like to. 1087 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:12.920 Play these games, it seemed like, and Dark Souls one, 1088 00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:13.719 it just happens to be. 1089 00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:16.119 It's a really btty strong way to do it. 1090 00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:18.559 So yeah, I just was wearing Havel's armor it was called, 1091 00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:21.400 and I went back and forth between this great sword 1092 00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:24.119 that actually got us a pretty early drop from some enemy, 1093 00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:26.199 and as I use it a lot. I also got 1094 00:46:26.199 --> 00:46:28.679 this giant dragon's tooth that was like a giant like 1095 00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:31.519 club hammer, so I used that a lot as well. 1096 00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:35.199 And then like a big heavy shield. So I'm not 1097 00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:36.880 much of a rollie boy in these games. I'm more 1098 00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:39.559 of a shield guy. And then that's usually wors for me. Yeah, 1099 00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:41.679 like that worked pretty well. I never had. You know, 1100 00:46:41.719 --> 00:46:44.920 there's some difficult bosses. There's maybe a few that took 1101 00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:47.960 me several tries, but generally I got I got most bosses, 1102 00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:49.639 like within the first few trees. 1103 00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:51.480 We talked about this, like you have such an advantage 1104 00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:53.199 coming from a shadow of their tree. 1105 00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:56.760 Oh yeah, yeah, it was a little bit kind of like, yeah, 1106 00:46:56.800 --> 00:46:58.960 I was playing with weights on before and I took 1107 00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.199 them off, like, you know, because like the are earlier 1108 00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:03.400 soul scared. It's kind of fine. Like people thought that 1109 00:47:03.440 --> 00:47:05.199 this was the hardest thing in the world at a plane, 1110 00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.159 and now you get to these archery bosses and it's 1111 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:09.880 a very different level, you know, Like even the final 1112 00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:12.079 boss it was almost it was fun, but it was 1113 00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:15.440 almost anti clemactic. Like his big scary thing was that 1114 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:19.360 he had a four hit combo string. At some point, 1115 00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:22.000 right he was still like just one phase and I 1116 00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:25.800 was like, ah, this isn't too bad. The OLC bosses 1117 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:28.199 were definitely the ones that came the closest. You're feeling 1118 00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:30.960 a bit more kind of what I'm used to an 1119 00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:33.519 elder ring effort. Some people say they feel like dark 1120 00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:36.360 Souls three bosses, right, you can kind of see them 1121 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:38.760 maybe getting a little trickier with that stuff, and any 1122 00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:40.559 time where you have to fight more than one thing 1123 00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:43.840 that is still always difficult. Like the boss I struggled 1124 00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:45.800 to most with was pretty early on when I had 1125 00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:48.800 to fight these two gargoyles on top of some roofs somewhere, 1126 00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:50.800 just because it was two of them. It was relatively 1127 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:52.920 early in the game, so I didn't have an amazing 1128 00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:56.920 kit like late later. The famous SPOS fight I think 1129 00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:59.360 is Orenstein and Smog, which is a similar thing. There's 1130 00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:01.519 two of them, so that you know. That took maybe 1131 00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:04.800 five tries, but it was difficult and I was really focused. 1132 00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.480 Even if bosses didn't necessarily take a ton of tries. 1133 00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:12.039 There was this dragon and the kind of expansion area, right, 1134 00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.159 it still was like, oh, I'm like really focused. I 1135 00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:15.800 really do have to kind of zone in there, and 1136 00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.280 that's what feels good. Is like having to really zone 1137 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.840 in it, be careful and play smart to be able 1138 00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:23.400 to succeed. 1139 00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:25.960 I saw I tuned in for those streams. You were 1140 00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:26.840 definitely locked in. 1141 00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:27.960 Yep, I was locked in. 1142 00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:28.360 Baby. 1143 00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:31.280 What I don't like, and it's something that they did 1144 00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:34.119 fix in later games, is the obnoxious walk backs you 1145 00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:36.119 have to do when you die to a boss. Right, 1146 00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:39.480 we don't have stakes America. The bonfires aren't as generous, 1147 00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:41.519 so it's like, okay, I need to walk all the 1148 00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:43.519 way back to where that boss was, and there's enemies 1149 00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:46.400 and you know on the way, like you're gonna fight 1150 00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:48.159 and try to run past them and hope they don't 1151 00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:50.559 hit you. So and again, like even if you just 1152 00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:54.280 die a couple of times, it's just annoying to backtrack. 1153 00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:57.559 Usually I'm a defender of backtracking, excuse me and metroid Vanez, 1154 00:48:57.679 --> 00:48:59.519 because it's like, well, you know, we have fun movement 1155 00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:01.760 and maybe you missed some hidden things here, but this 1156 00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:04.800 really is just backtracking for the sink of backtracking, just 1157 00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:08.280 doing a familiar route for there's no tension because it's 1158 00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:10.639 at that point like if I lose those souls whatever, 1159 00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:13.559 I don't even care anymore, I would pay those souls 1160 00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:16.519 just to teleport to the boss. At this point, what's 1161 00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:19.719 the plan next for from Yeah, so you know I'll 1162 00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:21.559 play there's something else right now. I do think I 1163 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:23.400 kind of just want to check out the other Dark 1164 00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:26.360 Souls games. Like I was almost hesitant to do Dark 1165 00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:28.119 Souls too, because I know it's kind of the like 1166 00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:30.079 one people are split on. 1167 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:31.000 Some people are like. 1168 00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:33.000 Oh, that's not as good and me as Zaki wasn't 1169 00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:35.280 involved or whatever. But then I had enough people to 1170 00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:37.880 defend it where I am just curious. And it's also 1171 00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:40.840 like Basil play them all, I guess, so exactly. 1172 00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:43.000 Yeah, I'm excited about that. That's great. 1173 00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:45.400 I've been having the age to go back to Bloodborne, 1174 00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:48.559 and it's not just because Dan's best friend Kyson that 1175 00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:53.880 is digging back into it, but like getting the urge again. 1176 00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:57.800 You see it, Andy, I kind of funny didn't spend 1177 00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:01.119 what like sixteen hundred dollars on some odd position four 1178 00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:03.199 that plays it at sixty fps. 1179 00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:04.679 Yeah, that's crazy. 1180 00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:07.559 I'm just gonna bust out the PS four and do it. 1181 00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:10.599 PSU scrub. 1182 00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:12.320 Yeah, with that. 1183 00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:18.159 Cinema just you're non frame smoothing motion smoothily on your TV. 1184 00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:20.239 Oh god, Oh you can play it on a PS 1185 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:22.960 five right, Yes, there you go. 1186 00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:24.480 I don't have to dig out the PS four. 1187 00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:25.760 Then I went to as well. 1188 00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:27.199 I feel like when I played that, that was the 1189 00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:29.760 first from game I beat, and like now thanks to 1190 00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:31.880 elden Ring and stud I would probably go back to it. 1191 00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:33.599 But we're stronger now. 1192 00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:35.480 Yeah, I think absolutely. 1193 00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:37.840 Beating Armcord six, then Shadow the ar Tree and so okay, 1194 00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:39.280 I can pretty much handle anything they do. 1195 00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:42.440 Now, what was your build Dan when you played Bloodborne?

But even like 1270 00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:50.199 it just the game feels so smooth because it's a 1271 00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:53.840 Zelda like it's kind of more of an automatic Z 1272 00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:56.320 targeting thing where you don't push a button, but Jay 1273 00:53:56.320 --> 00:53:59.400 will kind of orient herself to like whoever's near or 1274 00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:02.840 your sort of attacking and there's the way it automatically 1275 00:54:03.039 --> 00:54:05.840 like has different animations. You decide to attack somebody who's 1276 00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:09.679 behind you again. It just looks really smooth. The world 1277 00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:14.719 is very pretty and interesting. It's kind of futuristic, kind 1278 00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:17.679 of Italian. 1279 00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:17.920 Or something like. 1280 00:54:19.559 --> 00:54:19.599 That. 1281 00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:28.400 It just is it's real ambitious for a game from 1282 00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:32.000 that era in a way that still seems very impressive. 1283 00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:32.880 The writing's good. 1284 00:54:32.920 --> 00:54:36.760 Oh and like very early on you get this camera mechanic, 1285 00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:40.000 so like the game's kind of also Pokemon Snapper. It's like, 1286 00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:42.760 take a picture. I have every living creature and you 1287 00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:44.800 get like progression items from that, and I. 1288 00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:46.880 Love that shit. 1289 00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:48.800 It's like every time I see some new weird I'm like, 1290 00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:49.880 I gotta take your picture real quick. 1291 00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:52.000 Even boss fights real quick. Take the picture. 1292 00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:54.280 It's like works into your character where you're kind of 1293 00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:57.960 this freelance journalist man. Again, it's like, I know he 1294 00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:01.480 played this before, I know I liked it reason, but 1295 00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:04.519 play just now. I'm like this, man, this game does 1296 00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:08.039 rule and the remaster is great. It just yeah, it's 1297 00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:09.960 like what you kind of remember that game looking like 1298 00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:12.840 it's just running really well. It had a great art 1299 00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:15.440 style anyway, so it still looks good. But it's just 1300 00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:20.000 you know, upreds super smooth Boy just kind of having 1301 00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:21.880 a shockingly good time with this. 1302 00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:24.119 Have You're making me want to replay this because the 1303 00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:26.239 only time I played it was when they first re 1304 00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:30.159 released it on XBLA and like twenty nine, twenty ten. 1305 00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:31.880 I was like, you know what, I always heard people 1306 00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:33.920 saying good things about it eight years ago or whatever 1307 00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:35.599 when it came out and I tried it and it 1308 00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:38.199 held up really well. Then that first re release, which 1309 00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:40.000 I think it was just kind of like an HD 1310 00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:42.440 you know, upgrade or whatever. Yeah, yeah, this sounds like 1311 00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:45.400 more you know, more involved, And now I. 1312 00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:47.920 Think I want to play it again, right, I'm so 1313 00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:49.800 curious actually to like because again, like you know, it's 1314 00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:51.280 been a while since I played that original I think 1315 00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:53.960 I did play that Xbox Live Arcade Version two. 1316 00:55:54.320 --> 00:55:56.280 I'm like, just how much of this is the original? 1317 00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:59.000 How much of this is the remaster? Because this, again, 1318 00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:01.440 it feels so good to play right now, and I'm 1319 00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:04.000 pretty sure it felt good to play back then too, 1320 00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:07.400 but gosh, just just kudos to that team just playing. 1321 00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:09.480 I'm like, man, maybe this is all I really need 1322 00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:12.280 from Prince of Persia Ubi saf Maybe I don't need 1323 00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:14.760 a full on remake, because this, this right here is 1324 00:56:14.800 --> 00:56:17.079 about as good a remaster job of a sort of 1325 00:56:17.079 --> 00:56:19.280 GameCube PS two era game. 1326 00:56:19.400 --> 00:56:21.119 Yeah, I don't need to make a sense of time. 1327 00:56:21.159 --> 00:56:24.119 Yeah, I kind of got mad thinking about rock Stars 1328 00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:28.639 GTA three trilogy remasters. It's like, man, you guys are 1329 00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:32.800 fucking rock Star and that shit was fathetic. And here's 1330 00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:38.159 like the Ubisoft Beyond Good and Evil remaster and it's gorgeous, 1331 00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:39.760 Like what the hell? 1332 00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:42.119 Yeah, I mean even that Star Wars Bounty Hunter game 1333 00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:44.960 where I was playing, like they nailed that remaster recently, 1334 00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:48.079 Well looked good. This looks really good. I think a 1335 00:56:48.119 --> 00:56:51.079 game always had a pretty decent art style, but I 1336 00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:52.760 went back and looked at some of the old game play. 1337 00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:55.159 Now it was pretty old compared to what they did 1338 00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:57.519 with this remaster. So you can do a good job 1339 00:56:57.559 --> 00:56:59.599 with this stuff. And most of those games, especially from 1340 00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:01.639 that era and on just fine. 1341 00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:05.199 I don't know why you waxing poetically about Beyond Good 1342 00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:14.599 and Evil mic makes me want to play dark Cloud two. Oh, cameras, cameras, Okay, 1343 00:57:14.639 --> 00:57:17.000 there's a bunch of level fi like that Rogue out say. 1344 00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:19.480 I wish would get like Big Boy remasters, Like if 1345 00:57:19.559 --> 00:57:21.960 Dark Cloud two got a remaster like this Holy Ship, 1346 00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:24.039 that would be awesome and they should. 1347 00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:25.639 They just should do that at some point. 1348 00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:27.320 And then they should make Dark Cloud three. 1349 00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:28.239 They should do it. 1350 00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:30.679 The other thing it kind of made me think, is, uh, 1351 00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:33.320 you know, beyond good and evil to write like, apparently it. 1352 00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:35.519 Doesn't mean to be it. You should just should just 1353 00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:35.880 be this. 1354 00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:39.000 It doesn't need to be some weird made up spaceship 1355 00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:43.079 like spoor Thing or whatever they were doing. I don't know, 1356 00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:47.039 Just make another one of these set afterwards, like like, 1357 00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:50.719 not a prequel again, because the prequel thing is stupid, 1358 00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:52.599 because I do just love how this game just throws 1359 00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:56.119 me in there and I, through context, pick up everything 1360 00:57:56.119 --> 00:57:58.840 I need to know about these characters in this world, 1361 00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:01.840 and yeah, I learn more as I play, but that's fun. 1362 00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:03.239 I don't need to like go see like. 1363 00:58:03.159 --> 00:58:05.800 The Origin of Jade, where maybe she was brainwashing to 1364 00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:09.920 being evil and dumb, dumb dumb. 1365 00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:12.480 That original team has got to be scattered to the 1366 00:58:12.519 --> 00:58:14.840 wins at this point, right, yeah, mostly probably I. 1367 00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:16.760 Have no idea what they're doing. 1368 00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:18.679 Because like who is that think was this this was 1369 00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:22.639 was Jordan? Okay, yes, Michelle, and okay this is the 1370 00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:25.760 ray Man guy, right, but like that actual team is 1371 00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:27.760 like the team that did Prince of Persia, so that 1372 00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:30.119 Beyond Good and Evil team has been something else for 1373 00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:32.440 a while now, and I'm sure that they've had a 1374 00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:35.679 ton of turnover, and like Antel himself is not there anymore. 1375 00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:38.000 He left and apparently it's a bit of a problem, 1376 00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:43.400 so yeah, yeah, allegedly talks allegedly yeah toxic. So I 1377 00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:46.239 don't know what's going on with that, But you don't 1378 00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:48.519 need to like try to make the biggest big game 1379 00:58:48.559 --> 00:58:50.519 ever and have it be you know, as much as 1380 00:58:50.519 --> 00:58:52.280 I'm liking this game and I see o thing I'm 1381 00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:54.400 thinking about, it's baffling. This game wasn't a hit at 1382 00:58:54.440 --> 00:58:56.760 the time because it didn't sell very well. I assume 1383 00:58:56.800 --> 00:58:59.079 because of bad marketing, and I assume because there was 1384 00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:02.920 a time where every buddy did want mature em erated, 1385 00:59:03.239 --> 00:59:07.800 you know, for you know, grungey games. Right, So it's 1386 00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:09.519 just kind of weird to be like, well, we're finally 1387 00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:11.039 going to make the sequel Being Good Evil Too, but 1388 00:59:11.079 --> 00:59:12.639 the only way we're going to justify it is by 1389 00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:15.400 trying to make it the most ambitious weird thing ever. 1390 00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:17.519 Wasn't that the one they were trying to like crowdsource 1391 00:59:17.599 --> 00:59:24.440 the art where it's like, yeah, hit record. Yeah, oh wow, 1392 00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:26.400 is that already Yeah? 1393 00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:29.800 Oh yeah, baby, Kaepernick's going to get involved that with 1394 00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:33.119 his weird AI comic book. 1395 00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:35.800 I tried taking a picture with Colin Kaepernick at the 1396 00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:38.079 Fandom Comic Con party and then he was like scan 1397 00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:41.400 my shirt for the QR code, and I'm like, I'm okay, Colin, 1398 00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:43.119 I don't. 1399 00:59:42.920 --> 00:59:46.880 Want to scan you. Caepernick is Beyond Good and Evil 1400 00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:50.599 the best game inspired by Ocker enough time. That's not 1401 00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:51.280 a Zelda game. 1402 00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:53.360 Yeah, trying to think about it, you know, because like 1403 00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:55.239 I don't know, but I've been having a bit of 1404 00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:57.760 an old man moment getting upset about people not like 1405 00:59:57.800 --> 01:00:01.119 being like I don't mostly from listening to fire Escape 1406 01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:02.960 because you've been getting a couple of emos like oh 1407 01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:04.480 I played off grand doesn't hold up? 1408 01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:05.880 Like what does hold up mean? 1409 01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:08.280 Saying something doesn't hold up means that you think games 1410 01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:10.239 are inherently better now than they used to be. And 1411 01:00:10.280 --> 01:00:12.599 I'm not trying to be like games were better back 1412 01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:15.000 in the day. I think that they're good in both ways. 1413 01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:17.760 So like, don't just say something doesn't hold up? Tell 1414 01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:20.400 me why, but like because some things were better back then, 1415 01:00:20.639 --> 01:00:24.719 like companies could make Zoda likes. Nobody really makes games 1416 01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:26.519 that are like the old three D Zelda games. We 1417 01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:30.519 have some indie things. We had, uh what what was 1418 01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:34.159 that game that was an indie game that PlayStation published 1419 01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:35.639 something with a K. 1420 01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:40.360 We were just talking about the Bridge of Spirits, right. 1421 01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:42.000 And that was nice, that was cool. Wasn't as good 1422 01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:43.760 as Beyond Good and Evil? Right? 1423 01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:46.559 Dark Siders, like dark Siders is the other one, and 1424 01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:50.480 then that doesn't you know anymore? And then dark Siders 1425 01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:54.639 three nobody, I don't know people cared that much. Yeah, So, 1426 01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:56.679 like you know, Okami is one that people talk about 1427 01:00:56.679 --> 01:00:58.559 a lot, and that's another that's one that should also 1428 01:00:58.599 --> 01:01:00.360 get a remaster like this that would be fanatic. 1429 01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:02.440 God, I don't, but I think I like this. 1430 01:01:02.519 --> 01:01:04.440 I think this is my favorite of all of the 1431 01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:06.519 Zelda likes out there. 1432 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:10.000 I would put comedy up there on my my personal list. 1433 01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:12.760 Okammy, I have a Samil thing what Jeff was talking 1434 01:01:12.760 --> 01:01:15.159 about with Steam World Heist too, where I always like 1435 01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:17.039 a comedy and people are like, yeah, this game is 1436 01:01:17.079 --> 01:01:19.039 three times longer than you think it's gonna be. Yeah, 1437 01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:21.960 and I'm like, hmm, it takes a long time to 1438 01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:24.559 get move into. There was like a lot of right, 1439 01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:27.400 So it's an antipe on good and evil there, right, Yes, yes, 1440 01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:29.760 it was the PS two era where we were getting 1441 01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.880 that problem with games having these kind of obnoxiously long starts. 1442 01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:35.760 So yeah, which, by the way, speaking of that, I'm 1443 01:01:35.800 --> 01:01:37.960 watching my sister Cayla play through Middle of Your Solid 1444 01:01:38.119 --> 01:01:40.760 the series for the first time, and she's doing the 1445 01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:42.800 first one, and I've watched all of her VODs from 1446 01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:47.280 the first one, and man, I forgot how talky that 1447 01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:50.800 series is.

They like had the three D 1534 01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:15.159 rendered backgrounds the two D character and because of that, 1535 01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:17.280 the character can you know, you can hold up and 1536 01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:19.880 then jump into the background and that's interesting. Oh yeah, sure. 1537 01:05:20.280 --> 01:05:23.239 It's got the event system. The event system that was 1538 01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:23.719 the big thing. 1539 01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:26.280 It's like it was ambitious for what is kind of 1540 01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:28.760 a platformer, but also there's like adventure game elements and 1541 01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:32.239 almost like like almost Metroidvania type stuff where you had 1542 01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:36.000 like a quest log basically or what looks like a 1543 01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:38.039 platform and it was very much in that like two 1544 01:05:38.119 --> 01:05:41.719 point five D Pandemonium Heyday of like, Okay, we've got 1545 01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:43.400 more powerful systems, but we still want to make some 1546 01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:45.880 side scrolling games. So it's like it's a weird one. 1547 01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:48.440 And there are quality of life things here, where's like 1548 01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:50.800 you can save anywhere now, you can rewind. It's got 1549 01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:52.559 all the like museum stuff and concept art that you 1550 01:05:52.559 --> 01:05:55.639 would expect from like limited run in the museum type game. 1551 01:05:55.679 --> 01:05:58.199 You know, it's it's a cool one to go back 1552 01:05:58.239 --> 01:06:01.440 to and see what they were swinging for uh ahead 1553 01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:01.840 of it a time. 1554 01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:04.280 Yeah, yeah, I feel like, you know, moving the character around, 1555 01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:05.760 I'm like, you know, I'm not I don't love this, 1556 01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:08.000 and I definitely I am someone who like prefers the game 1557 01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:11.639 feel great when I play it, But that doesn't automatically 1558 01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:13.039 make it like, oh, this is a game I'm not 1559 01:06:13.079 --> 01:06:15.440 interested in. It won't play, so I'm sticking with it. 1560 01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:17.199 And yeah, once I started like getting the hang of 1561 01:06:17.199 --> 01:06:19.440 the event system and realizing a lot there's like stuff 1562 01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:21.119 to go interact within the world. I like the one 1563 01:06:21.159 --> 01:06:23.440 where you try to like go meet the guy on 1564 01:06:23.480 --> 01:06:24.840 the other side of the water and you jump in 1565 01:06:24.840 --> 01:06:27.400 the water and it goes I can't swim and it 1566 01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:29.519 pops up with all those big letters and that becomes 1567 01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:31.559 a new event. You're like learn to swim, Like, Okay, 1568 01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:33.960 I don't know what that means, but I'm keeping an 1569 01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:36.239 eye out to see exactly how how I can engage 1570 01:06:36.239 --> 01:06:38.800 in that event. And it's it's cool to like just 1571 01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:40.960 get to you get the hang of moving around the 1572 01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:44.079 world and using the items you get to make that easier, 1573 01:06:44.360 --> 01:06:46.039 to like to return to the old man's house and 1574 01:06:46.039 --> 01:06:47.800 stuff like that and treat that as a home base. 1575 01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:50.960 But yeah, I'm I think this game always had a 1576 01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:53.599 strong style and I'm glad that that is held up 1577 01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:55.960 like sort of without any effort. It just looks great.

Game Stop is just 1688 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:48.960 a joke. 1689 01:11:49.199 --> 01:11:52.319 Pulled the plug, pulled everyone into a meeting, no advanced 1690 01:11:52.319 --> 01:11:56.760 warning fired, everyone changed the locks. Deleted the Twitter account 1691 01:11:57.039 --> 01:12:02.520 after posting an AI generated goodbye message that nobody ever 1692 01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:04.479 worked a game and form or whatever the final level 1693 01:12:04.560 --> 01:12:09.239 like no, fine, no, yeah, it's I mean, everyone knew 1694 01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:12.119 it was going to be shitty because it was GameStop 1695 01:12:12.119 --> 01:12:14.840 and GameStop then now forever has been a piece of 1696 01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:17.159 shit company. I worked for them for eight years at 1697 01:12:17.159 --> 01:12:20.239 the store level at Game Informer. They were They've always 1698 01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:22.399 been shitty. It was always going to be cold, it 1699 01:12:22.439 --> 01:12:26.039 was always going to be impersonal, but just the swiftness 1700 01:12:26.039 --> 01:12:28.760 of it, the fact that they took down the website 1701 01:12:28.800 --> 01:12:31.359 and everything that was on there like so many years, 1702 01:12:31.399 --> 01:12:33.279 Like I know, it's it's known mainly for magazine, but 1703 01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:35.640 like you know, they were doing web stuff, you know, 1704 01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:37.439 from like the mid two thousands, but starting like oh 1705 01:12:37.560 --> 01:12:40.920 nine when me and four others got hired specifically because 1706 01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:44.560 they wanted to start pushing into the internet more. And uh, 1707 01:12:44.840 --> 01:12:48.279 there was so much on their podcast. Obviously, the YouTube 1708 01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:50.039 still up, you know, there's still videos and old replay 1709 01:12:50.039 --> 01:12:53.239 episodes and stuff, but the amount of articles and online 1710 01:12:53.279 --> 01:12:56.399 only stuff that just got completely nuked for what. I 1711 01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:58.439 don't know if they're saving a bit on server costs 1712 01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:00.560 or what the thought process, if there was any, but 1713 01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:03.600 they just seemed ready to just jettison everything, get rid 1714 01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:08.199 of everyone. It's yeah, it's even more cold and impersonal 1715 01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:10.239 than I think I would have expected from that company. 1716 01:13:10.399 --> 01:13:13.399 And uh, you know, they were definitely a smaller team 1717 01:13:13.479 --> 01:13:15.840 and they never were like back in the office post pandemic, 1718 01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:17.560 but they were still putting out a lot of good stuff. 1719 01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:19.560 They were still going, you know, these great stories and 1720 01:13:19.560 --> 01:13:20.560 then a lot of grips. 1721 01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:23.520 Open to subscriptions, whether you have like a Game Stop 1722 01:13:23.560 --> 01:13:26.399 membership or not. So I just subscribed and I've gotten 1723 01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:29.560 I've received like three issues so far. Apparently some people 1724 01:13:29.560 --> 01:13:31.319 are saying that Dragon Age issue is starting to show 1725 01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:33.439 up for some people, so that's some good news there. 1726 01:13:34.439 --> 01:13:37.199 But yeah, it was. It was. It's devastating. It was 1727 01:13:37.239 --> 01:13:40.279 expected in a lot of ways. The guys that on 1728 01:13:40.279 --> 01:13:44.119 that team made it outlive. I think what some expectations 1729 01:13:44.119 --> 01:13:46.359 were and not even like the most grim expectations. In 1730 01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:48.079 a lot of ways, It's like, man, how are they 1731 01:13:48.079 --> 01:13:50.840 still pulling this off? And they were until Game Stop 1732 01:13:50.920 --> 01:13:52.600 someone just looked up. It's like, I own this is 1733 01:13:52.640 --> 01:13:54.680 one thing. We've cut everything else. Let's just cut this. 1734 01:13:55.000 --> 01:13:56.920 And when they cut it just seems like they went 1735 01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:00.000 into a mode of yeah, like you said, jettison Jedi 1736 01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:02.199 in it into space, which is such a bummer. 1737 01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:05.159 Yeah, And I mean, look, it's been around forever and 1738 01:14:05.199 --> 01:14:07.760 you just look at the alumni from there. I look, 1739 01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:10.239 I think of everyone that I worked with there, and 1740 01:14:10.279 --> 01:14:12.199 how you know, you've got people that went to Xbox, 1741 01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:13.720 the people that went to Sony, and people that went 1742 01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:15.920 to Gearbox. You had plenty of people doing stuff behind 1743 01:14:15.920 --> 01:14:19.760 the scenes at studios and consultancies, and I mean it was. 1744 01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:21.680 A real who's who. 1745 01:14:21.720 --> 01:14:23.279 Like I if you worked at Game Inform and you 1746 01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:26.960 went through you know, those halls, I feel like most 1747 01:14:27.000 --> 01:14:30.840 people wound up in the industry doing things of import yes, 1748 01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:33.399 after that, And I think that will happen with eventually 1749 01:14:33.479 --> 01:14:36.000 with everyone that has been laid off now. Obviously the 1750 01:14:36.079 --> 01:14:38.720 job market is fucked right now in games, so it's 1751 01:14:38.760 --> 01:14:41.239 going to be hard. You know, obviously, please everywhere follow 1752 01:14:41.479 --> 01:14:43.199 Look at anyone's Twitter that just got laid off. Look 1753 01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:45.640 at Alex Vanak and look at Brian Shay. You know, 1754 01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:48.159 look at all them in Mark Everyone's retweeting everyone late. 1755 01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:51.000 Look at my twitter feed. I've been trying to retweet everyone, Margaret. Yeah, 1756 01:14:51.000 --> 01:14:53.039 all the people of LA that were in production and 1757 01:14:53.079 --> 01:14:55.439 the layout people that have been there forever. It was 1758 01:14:55.800 --> 01:14:58.920 a hell of a staff at all points. And I'm 1759 01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:01.000 sure or I hope that every one lands on their feet. 1760 01:15:01.199 --> 01:15:04.279 It's going to be tough, but uh yeah, it's you know, 1761 01:15:05.159 --> 01:15:07.279 I can't help but think on a personal level, like 1762 01:15:07.479 --> 01:15:09.079 I wouldn't know any of you. I never would have 1763 01:15:09.079 --> 01:15:10.880 been at Giant Palm. I wouldn't live where I live. 1764 01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:12.560 I wouldn't have met my wife. I wouldn't have like, 1765 01:15:12.600 --> 01:15:16.560 you know, Game Informer to me is more than any 1766 01:15:16.640 --> 01:15:18.079 like I know. As much as I joke about, like, oh, 1767 01:15:18.079 --> 01:15:20.199 you know, Dan Love's brand or whatever, Tacabella or Walmart 1768 01:15:20.279 --> 01:15:23.119 or whatever, Game Informer as a company, as a brand, 1769 01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:26.840 as a magazine like that has had more of an 1770 01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:29.000 impact on the entire run of my life since I 1771 01:15:29.039 --> 01:15:32.119 was nine years old than anything in my entire life. 1772 01:15:32.199 --> 01:15:34.279 It is the reason I lived the life that I have. 1773 01:15:34.680 --> 01:15:36.720 I have that place to thank everyone I worked with. 1774 01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:38.880 You know, best man in my wedding was Tim Turry. 1775 01:15:38.920 --> 01:15:40.960 You know, it's Hanson. 1776 01:15:41.000 --> 01:15:41.159 You know. 1777 01:15:41.319 --> 01:15:42.920 One of the big reasons I moved back to Minneapolis 1778 01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:45.439 is I have so many fond memories of everyone I 1779 01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:48.079 met here through Game Informer and Hanson everyone. And speaking 1780 01:15:48.079 --> 01:15:50.640 of Hanson, he's doing God's work over there. Many great 1781 01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:53.079 follow theirs up. He just put up a thing. It 1782 01:15:53.079 --> 01:15:55.159 was awesome. We didn't expect it to be posted this soon, 1783 01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:57.119 but back in March, I mean, we all kind of 1784 01:15:57.199 --> 01:15:59.720 knew shit was going to go south sooner or later, 1785 01:16:00.079 --> 01:16:02.880 sooner than we expected. But yeah, it was Hanson Leovader, 1786 01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:05.239 Me and Alex man Aiken went to kind of like 1787 01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:07.520 the holding area where it was an office that no 1788 01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:10.359 one really worked in ever. It was like basically rented 1789 01:16:10.359 --> 01:16:12.279 out during the pandemic, and all this stuff was kind 1790 01:16:12.279 --> 01:16:14.479 of moved in there, all the vault, you know, all 1791 01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:17.000 the games from all those years of game history and 1792 01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:20.039 statues and everything, and Hanson shot a thing from min 1793 01:16:20.119 --> 01:16:21.720 Max of us all going through it, and it was 1794 01:16:21.760 --> 01:16:23.319 supposed to be kind of like a time capsule thing 1795 01:16:23.319 --> 01:16:25.439 where it's like, oh, maybe five years from now, if 1796 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:26.800 none of this is a thing, or if game Stop 1797 01:16:26.840 --> 01:16:28.479 goes down or whatever, we'll post it and then like 1798 01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:31.520 all this should happen. And Hanson's doing like a whole celebration. 1799 01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:32.560 I don't know if he said it's going to be 1800 01:16:32.600 --> 01:16:34.640 a month or what, but the first one was that 1801 01:16:34.720 --> 01:16:37.159 video got posted. He got that out of the very 1802 01:16:37.239 --> 01:16:39.760 very quickly. So check it out on mid Max's YouTube. 1803 01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:41.640 I think they're probably doing a ton of podcasts and 1804 01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:43.840 videos and stuff. Hanson's already talked to me about doing 1805 01:16:43.880 --> 01:16:45.239 some of that, and I want to do as much 1806 01:16:45.239 --> 01:16:45.880 of that as I can. 1807 01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:47.880 But it deserves it. 1808 01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:51.840 Game Informer absolutely an institution. It was the last US 1809 01:16:51.880 --> 01:16:58.439 based magazine that was still kicking around, and its impact 1810 01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:02.319 from nineteen ninety one one on cannot be overstated. It 1811 01:17:02.439 --> 01:17:04.800 is the reason a lot of us in the industry 1812 01:17:04.920 --> 01:17:08.479 do what we do. And you know, and all the years, 1813 01:17:08.520 --> 01:17:11.880 all those years of being under Game Stop and still 1814 01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:16.119 managing to still be completely independent, you know, like McNamara 1815 01:17:16.199 --> 01:17:19.560 served as a buffer between us and Grapevine texts, so 1816 01:17:19.600 --> 01:17:20.239 none of us on. 1817 01:17:20.199 --> 01:17:22.119 The floor ever had to deal with those idiots. 1818 01:17:22.319 --> 01:17:25.039 I can't imagine the amount of phone calls and bullshit 1819 01:17:25.079 --> 01:17:27.159 Andy had to deal with with Game Stop, but he 1820 01:17:27.239 --> 01:17:29.199 protected us from it. We never had to, you know, 1821 01:17:29.359 --> 01:17:31.560 bout their whims of like you know, oh we want 1822 01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:33.239 to push this thing harder, or we don't want you 1823 01:17:33.279 --> 01:17:34.880 to give this game a low score. We never heard 1824 01:17:34.920 --> 01:17:38.680 any of that stuff. Nothing ever got muddled with at all. 1825 01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:41.359 I know, in recent years Game Stop, as they struggled 1826 01:17:41.399 --> 01:17:44.640 more and more due to their own incompetence, they were 1827 01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:46.960 getting involved more often. You know, they started doing those 1828 01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:49.359 rounds of layoffs and then you know, revolving doors of 1829 01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:51.960 CEOs and idiots and stuff trying to make changes to 1830 01:17:52.039 --> 01:17:54.000 you know, and trying to push you know, of course, 1831 01:17:54.039 --> 01:17:56.399 GameStop was trying to do like stupid NFT shit and 1832 01:17:56.439 --> 01:17:58.960 whatever buzzword things, just to flail and stay live. But 1833 01:17:59.680 --> 01:18:04.000 you know, most of it's run, it stayed completely independent, 1834 01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:06.880 and uh, yeah, I don't know. 1835 01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:07.479 What else to say. 1836 01:18:07.520 --> 01:18:09.520 It's uh, I got the tax all was sitting next 1837 01:18:09.520 --> 01:18:12.600 to Greb on Friday, and it's like, oh fuck, Like 1838 01:18:13.119 --> 01:18:14.600 you knew it was coming. You knew it was coming 1839 01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:17.319 at some point, but you can't really be prepared until 1840 01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:19.680 you see the finality of it. And it's just like, well, shit, 1841 01:18:20.359 --> 01:18:22.239 that's it. That is as much of an end of 1842 01:18:22.279 --> 01:18:24.399 an era as as it could be for the industry 1843 01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:26.880 and me personally, and uh, it'll be. 1844 01:18:26.800 --> 01:18:30.159 Missed absolutely, And it's I think you mentioned it where 1845 01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:33.560 it's so many great people got hired there. The reason 1846 01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:35.920 they got hired is because all those individuals are very good, 1847 01:18:35.960 --> 01:18:37.640 and that's why I'm like, sure they're all going to 1848 01:18:37.720 --> 01:18:39.600 go on to be very important to this industry or 1849 01:18:39.880 --> 01:18:42.960 wherever they end up going forward. So I'm not worried 1850 01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:45.960 for there. They were there at Game Reformer for a reason, 1851 01:18:46.039 --> 01:18:48.760 they'll find other reasons to be at other place going forward. 1852 01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:51.119 So just shout out to everybody that made that place special. 1853 01:18:52.359 --> 01:18:54.279 All right, let's keep going here with the new Sony's 1854 01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:57.199 gott of War Studios working on a new IP. According 1855 01:18:57.199 --> 01:19:02.119 to one of the developers, Sandy, Santa Monica Studio, the 1856 01:19:02.119 --> 01:19:04.039 developer behind God of War, is working on a new 1857 01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:09.119 intellectual property. Galauco Longhi, characters supervisor at Santa Monica Studio, 1858 01:19:09.159 --> 01:19:12.319 claimed this in his LinkedIn profile. Long He previously worked 1859 01:19:12.319 --> 01:19:15.479 on Uncharted for God of War, God of War, Ragnarok, 1860 01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:19.079 and the Clisto Protocol. Santa Monica Studio has a history 1861 01:19:19.079 --> 01:19:21.039 of publishing games from indie studios, and was rumored to 1862 01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:23.640 be working on a sci fi IP before it's cancelation 1863 01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:28.960 way back in twenty fourteen. Yeah, the thing with all 1864 01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:32.039 the PlayStation studios is that they're so busy all the 1865 01:19:32.079 --> 01:19:35.079 time with so many big games that like they could 1866 01:19:35.079 --> 01:19:37.560 do sequels too. That's always surprised when they do find 1867 01:19:37.560 --> 01:19:39.880 time to do a new IP. But also at a 1868 01:19:39.920 --> 01:19:42.119 certain point they have to like refresh the crop and 1869 01:19:42.159 --> 01:19:44.840 have something new. And I guess I'm not too surprised 1870 01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:46.359 to hear this, but what do you guys think? 1871 01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:50.880 Yeah, it's right these days, right, just making the next 1872 01:19:50.960 --> 01:19:53.880 God of War is like a seven year thing, right, 1873 01:19:53.920 --> 01:19:55.159 So he used to be like, oh, we'll do something 1874 01:19:55.199 --> 01:19:56.920 in between, so we could take time, so they could 1875 01:19:56.920 --> 01:19:59.800 be from room to breathe. Now, these games inherently just 1876 01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:03.359 even if it's the thing you work on right away, 1877 01:20:03.600 --> 01:20:06.399 and yet still it probably does make sense to for 1878 01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:09.479 one thing, let the team do something else. I can't 1879 01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:11.800 imagine that it's super exciting to be working on your 1880 01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:13.800 you know, third or fourth or whatever God of War 1881 01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:15.840 game in a row at this point. 1882 01:20:16.079 --> 01:20:17.920 At that point, like, that's like twenty years of a 1883 01:20:17.960 --> 01:20:19.319 person's life working on that. 1884 01:20:19.319 --> 01:20:21.319 Yet, right, And I like riding and rock a lot, 1885 01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:23.520 and you know, but even just aside from the fact 1886 01:20:23.520 --> 01:20:25.640 that it's obviously probably going to be set somewhere else 1887 01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:27.840 and you know, it's not going to do a Viking 1888 01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:31.479 thing again or whatever. Yeah, like, let's let's take a 1889 01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:35.880 moment there to relax and let do trust try something 1890 01:20:35.880 --> 01:20:38.079 else here, because those things pay off a lot, right, 1891 01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:42.560 like Sucker Punch doing Ghost of Shushima, you know, establishing 1892 01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:46.239 a new franchise there. Yeah, it works out. The problem is, well, 1893 01:20:46.239 --> 01:20:50.239 if this thing hits right, then it's like, okay, so 1894 01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:51.560 do you make the sequel to that? 1895 01:20:51.640 --> 01:20:51.760 Right? 1896 01:20:51.800 --> 01:20:54.640 Away because you know, what, are you going to wait 1897 01:20:54.720 --> 01:20:57.119 fourteen years now to make the next one of those? 1898 01:20:57.119 --> 01:20:58.600 Because you have to do the next God of War 1899 01:20:59.000 --> 01:20:59.720 and after that. 1900 01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:02.640 Type for like bringing out their studios to work on 1901 01:21:02.680 --> 01:21:04.760 this stuff was always in question. I remember, like the 1902 01:21:04.840 --> 01:21:07.920 Visual Arts Groups like maybe we could do some uncharted stuff, 1903 01:21:07.960 --> 01:21:09.840 and then Naughty Dog's like, no, we're gonna handle that 1904 01:21:09.880 --> 01:21:11.760 and kind of took it away from them, and which 1905 01:21:11.920 --> 01:21:14.760 was the right, it's a Naughty Dog game. But then 1906 01:21:14.840 --> 01:21:16.960 like the people that were going to make stuff like 1907 01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:19.039 that happen at Visual Arts Group left and they started 1908 01:21:19.039 --> 01:21:23.039 a studio with some other publishers. So and I kind 1909 01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:26.039 of don't necessarily blame Sony, like spinning up yet another 1910 01:21:26.399 --> 01:21:29.920 major massive studio to make another more of these massive games. 1911 01:21:30.319 --> 01:21:32.479 It's like, how many times can you replicate that before 1912 01:21:32.479 --> 01:21:35.399 you just become really unwieldy and hard to manage. They're 1913 01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:38.000 kind of at that point now, yeah, exactly, so why 1914 01:21:38.039 --> 01:21:38.720 why increase it? 1915 01:21:38.760 --> 01:21:38.840 They? 1916 01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:40.560 And I don't I don't blame them, but that what 1917 01:21:40.560 --> 01:21:44.239 that means is then what Mike's getting at longer periods 1918 01:21:44.279 --> 01:21:47.319 of time before these established franchises and then taking longer 1919 01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:50.159 breaks and more time to breathe than they necessarily might need. 1920 01:21:50.079 --> 01:21:51.520 And then you hope that the u IP isn't a 1921 01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:54.319 starfield and put off the thing that people actually want, 1922 01:21:54.399 --> 01:21:54.760 you know. 1923 01:21:54.840 --> 01:21:55.560 Yeah for real. 1924 01:21:56.479 --> 01:22:01.560 Yeah, well now I'm making me like nostalgic. 1925 01:22:01.600 --> 01:22:01.840 It is. 1926 01:22:01.840 --> 01:22:03.600 Wow that like used to be like, hey, Grant thought 1927 01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:05.600 there was a hit, Let's make two more of those 1928 01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:08.439 for this same console generation. Yeah, and now you talking 1929 01:22:08.479 --> 01:22:11.319 about Naughty Dog like, it's looking like, yeah, there just 1930 01:22:11.399 --> 01:22:13.239 might not be an original Naughty Dog game for the 1931 01:22:13.399 --> 01:22:15.680 entire PlayStation five life cycle. 1932 01:22:15.760 --> 01:22:17.680 Like that's a distinct possibility right now. 1933 01:22:17.880 --> 01:22:19.159 I'm pretty close to that feeling. 1934 01:22:19.399 --> 01:22:21.279 So if you're a fan, you'd be used to that 1935 01:22:21.319 --> 01:22:23.680 because those fuckers took four years between every one of 1936 01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:24.640 them usually. 1937 01:22:24.960 --> 01:22:27.359 Right, you know exactly, Yeah, that guy is really setting 1938 01:22:27.399 --> 01:22:29.000 a precedent there. But even that, I was like, what 1939 01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:33.439 a console generation? I think I saw yesterday that Phantom 1940 01:22:33.439 --> 01:22:35.119 Pain came out in twenty fifteen. 1941 01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:36.319 I'm like, that game's gonna be ten. 1942 01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:40.560 Years old, though, Craiz, Oh no, that's the big I 1943 01:22:40.600 --> 01:22:42.159 think that's Oh, there's a lot of problems in this 1944 01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:44.199 year and now one of the biggest ones is just 1945 01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:47.159 how long it takes to make games, and I don't 1946 01:22:47.199 --> 01:22:49.000 really see a lot of people really caring to find 1947 01:22:49.000 --> 01:22:52.640 solutions to that except saying buzzwords like AI. Everyone just 1948 01:22:52.720 --> 01:22:54.720 kind of accepts like, yeah, games take longer and costs 1949 01:22:54.720 --> 01:22:55.439 war to make than ever. 1950 01:22:55.560 --> 01:22:57.520 And I'm like, are we gonna we're gonna do something 1951 01:22:57.520 --> 01:22:57.880 about that? 1952 01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:00.359 And it's like, yeah, we're gonna keep spending money we 1953 01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:02.680 don't have and having to lay people off. 1954 01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:03.479 I don't know, do you. 1955 01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:08.920 Think there's any motivation or oversight from Sony proper while 1956 01:23:09.319 --> 01:23:12.079 PlayStation's embarking on this to like, hey, make something that. 1957 01:23:12.039 --> 01:23:15.039 We can maybe adapt to another TV show, They definitely 1958 01:23:15.039 --> 01:23:17.479 talk about that stuff. I don't know if it's oversight 1959 01:23:17.600 --> 01:23:20.199 so much as no, let's have our company retreat, let's 1960 01:23:20.199 --> 01:23:22.560 talk about our overall goals. Let's try to align on 1961 01:23:22.600 --> 01:23:26.079 those goals. That sort of conversation Sony definitely has a 1962 01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:29.680 They take like, no, we have an interest in the 1963 01:23:29.680 --> 01:23:31.439 things you're working on, and we want to be able 1964 01:23:31.479 --> 01:23:32.880 to affect that. I think that's how we get stuff 1965 01:23:32.880 --> 01:23:34.319 like the PSGR two, where it's like we have a 1966 01:23:34.359 --> 01:23:36.800 hardware team, let's put them to work, and it's how 1967 01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:38.520 we get some of these other things that they do 1968 01:23:38.560 --> 01:23:41.319 where it's like it feels like just the PlayStation portal 1969 01:23:41.600 --> 01:23:45.000 things like that, where it's like, oh, some PlayStation isn't 1970 01:23:45.039 --> 01:23:46.600 necessarily like working on this thing. It's coming from the 1971 01:23:46.600 --> 01:23:50.279 hardware team. Again. They want to like always get Sony 1972 01:23:50.279 --> 01:23:52.439 involved with what's going on PlayStation because PlayStation is the 1973 01:23:52.439 --> 01:23:55.199 bread winning brand. But I don't think Sony's like in 1974 01:23:55.279 --> 01:23:57.520 there micromanaging that stuff too much. 1975 01:23:58.399 --> 01:24:01.079 Yeah, because I can't help but think the way that 1976 01:24:01.439 --> 01:24:03.880 Conquered has been positioned is like they're. 1977 01:24:03.720 --> 01:24:09.279 So ready to Concord. Okay, second, didn't mean to activate you. 1978 01:24:11.760 --> 01:24:13.159 The way they've been positioning that. 1979 01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:15.720 With like it being so story heavy in all the trailers, 1980 01:24:16.479 --> 01:24:18.800 it just makes me feel like y'all have something in 1981 01:24:18.840 --> 01:24:20.800 your back pocket that you think is going to be 1982 01:24:20.840 --> 01:24:23.359 a big hit, like Concord the series. 1983 01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:25.920 I think, I think, I honestly, I think that is 1984 01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:27.960 a little bit of drinking their kool aid on this 1985 01:24:28.039 --> 01:24:31.720 where it's like Sony games are important because they have 1986 01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:34.640 this prestige attached them, and where does that prestige come from? Well, 1987 01:24:34.920 --> 01:24:37.880 like this could be an HBO show, and I think 1988 01:24:37.880 --> 01:24:40.239 they sort of talk themselves into that way of thinking. 1989 01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:42.680 And so when they're like, well, what is a game 1990 01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:45.920 that will get the executives at PlayStation excited that we 1991 01:24:45.960 --> 01:24:48.039 can pitch that we can get a budget for. And 1992 01:24:48.079 --> 01:24:52.119 then the developers sort of lead themselves into it's an overwatch, 1993 01:24:52.279 --> 01:24:56.000 but it's gonna have the prestigious video of you know, 1994 01:24:56.119 --> 01:24:59.840 cinematics in between everything that make the game feel important. 1995 01:25:00.159 --> 01:25:01.680 And so yeah, I think they work themselves into a 1996 01:25:01.680 --> 01:25:06.159 shoot a little bit with that. Alright, let's see here 1997 01:25:06.159 --> 01:25:10.760 your next story. Sega files a trademark for Yakuzawars. Sega 1998 01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:13.560 has filed a trademark for Yakuzu Wars in Japan, suggesting 1999 01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:15.640 a new video game product related to the Like a 2000 01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:20.039 Dragon series. Previously Sega the series. Sega changed the series's 2001 01:25:20.079 --> 01:25:23.199 Western name from Yakuza to Like a Dragon. Uh, there's 2002 01:25:23.279 --> 01:25:25.239 a show come in all this other stuff. We don't 2003 01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:27.920 know much about what Yakuzuwars is going to be. 2004 01:25:28.640 --> 01:25:28.760 Uh. 2005 01:25:28.960 --> 01:25:30.640 In my head when I hear that, I think of 2006 01:25:31.279 --> 01:25:33.880 tact exam strategy RPGs, things like that, and I think 2007 01:25:33.880 --> 01:25:35.640 that's a really good fit for this series. 2008 01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:40.479 That sounds immediately, Yeah, it's not that then maybe Muso, 2009 01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:43.880 but I think you know that shop also a Wars. 2010 01:25:44.359 --> 01:25:46.479 But also think about like how much had they did 2011 01:25:46.800 --> 01:25:49.600 turn based RPG and did it well and in a 2012 01:25:49.680 --> 01:25:50.119 unique way. 2013 01:25:50.199 --> 01:25:50.479 I didn't. 2014 01:25:50.520 --> 01:25:53.119 It didn't just mimic like old battle systems or anything 2015 01:25:53.159 --> 01:25:54.840 like that. So like it makes me so excited about 2016 01:25:54.840 --> 01:25:57.319 like what would their take be on if it is 2017 01:25:57.359 --> 01:26:00.119 like a tactical like like what is the Yaka a 2018 01:26:00.239 --> 01:26:00.760 version of that? 2019 01:26:01.119 --> 01:26:01.319 Yeah? 2020 01:26:01.399 --> 01:26:04.359 Right? Yeah? And they played like Mendo mentions to chat 2021 01:26:04.359 --> 01:26:06.600 they've had RTS modes in some of the earlier games 2022 01:26:06.640 --> 01:26:09.920 and things like that, where there are clearly a lot 2023 01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:13.479 of them experimenting with the genres in like a Dragon 2024 01:26:13.560 --> 01:26:16.520 proper and breaking one of those out into its own thing. 2025 01:26:16.760 --> 01:26:18.479 You could see how that would easily happen. Like, I 2026 01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:19.960 won't be surprised in a couple of years we get 2027 01:26:19.960 --> 01:26:21.600 a standalone Dan doco game. 2028 01:26:22.920 --> 01:26:26.239 Like I didn't expect to dig Kinisugami Path of the 2029 01:26:26.279 --> 01:26:28.600 Goddess as much as I do, but like, you know, 2030 01:26:28.680 --> 01:26:33.439 that's spinning that RTS ish model, and I could see 2031 01:26:33.439 --> 01:26:36.000 the the Yakuza team doing some some magic with that. 2032 01:26:36.439 --> 01:26:40.119 Ye same here, what was the multiplayer mode in Pigment four? 2033 01:26:42.880 --> 01:26:45.239 Yeah right, I want to say, yeah, yeah, that was great. 2034 01:26:45.279 --> 01:26:47.319 Actually I could have played I. 2035 01:26:47.279 --> 01:26:48.920 Want to do next time we're in person, we should 2036 01:26:48.920 --> 01:26:49.520 do some of those. 2037 01:26:49.680 --> 01:26:52.359 Okay, sounds good, that'd be great. Yeah, Dan Dory is great. 2038 01:26:52.600 --> 01:26:54.279 But yeah, I think that what you're getting there at 2039 01:26:54.359 --> 01:26:57.119 jan is that there is a foundation where they are like, 2040 01:26:57.199 --> 01:26:59.840 let's take strategy, let's take real time strategy, turn based 2041 01:26:59.880 --> 01:27:03.319 what ever, and then let's make a like a Dragon 2042 01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:06.239 game sort of inspired by that, and then they could 2043 01:27:06.319 --> 01:27:08.199 layer so many other things on top of that and 2044 01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:10.119 really make it its own. I know that it is 2045 01:27:10.399 --> 01:27:10.960 exciting to me. 2046 01:27:11.159 --> 01:27:13.840 I know that the teams at Sega don't work super 2047 01:27:13.880 --> 01:27:16.640 closely together all the time, but like Persona five Tasko 2048 01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:20.079 I thought was a very good tactics game, and then 2049 01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:22.439 you know, I wouldn't mind the Yaka is a twist 2050 01:27:22.479 --> 01:27:24.800 to that and seeing what else they they could do 2051 01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:28.680 because like a Dragon, like Infinite wealth y'all, it's like 2052 01:27:28.800 --> 01:27:31.399 up there in my like top two of the year 2053 01:27:31.439 --> 01:27:34.560 still just because a combat system is so good and 2054 01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:37.359 satisfying that, Like Dan, you're right, I want to see 2055 01:27:37.399 --> 01:27:39.279 what they would do with a turn based style or 2056 01:27:39.319 --> 01:27:42.520 if it's if it's not like a strictly tactics based 2057 01:27:44.359 --> 01:27:46.600 turn based game. I want to see what they would do, Like, 2058 01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:50.159 could they do something like a God What was that game? 2059 01:27:50.199 --> 01:27:55.640 Not Unicorn Overlord? No, not that one, No no, no, no 2060 01:27:55.520 --> 01:28:02.760 no yes, Chronicles no no no. That was doing some 2061 01:28:02.880 --> 01:28:05.159 neat things with its combat system because it was kind 2062 01:28:05.159 --> 01:28:07.560 of an RTS. But you have a small party instead 2063 01:28:07.560 --> 01:28:09.960 of like a bunch of units that like, hey, you 2064 01:28:09.960 --> 01:28:13.399 know Ichibon, you go over there, freaky man with a 2065 01:28:13.520 --> 01:28:16.479 job board system, you go over there. I think it 2066 01:28:16.479 --> 01:28:20.359 would be fun. I want Shenanigans also, like I'm all 2067 01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:22.560 for like a dragon getting bigger and weirder. 2068 01:28:23.319 --> 01:28:26.960 Yeah, exactly like they're They're very good at keeping the 2069 01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:30.319 franchise fresh with new entries at all times, whether those 2070 01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:33.520 are main entries or side games. And I think getting 2071 01:28:33.600 --> 01:28:36.960 even stranger with the side games is only a positive 2072 01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:40.720 and I'm excited about it. There is a development build 2073 01:28:40.760 --> 01:28:43.319 of Call of Duty Black Ops six that has basically 2074 01:28:43.399 --> 01:28:46.920 had a ton of footage week on social media, things 2075 01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:50.359 like the multiplayer maps, perks, gunsmith menu, This stuff is 2076 01:28:50.399 --> 01:28:52.319 everywhere for people who are interested in that. The one 2077 01:28:52.359 --> 01:28:54.319 thing that I did pick up on is the omni 2078 01:28:54.399 --> 01:28:58.159 movement system. There is some more footage of like kind 2079 01:28:58.199 --> 01:28:59.960 of how that works, and I guess the idea is 2080 01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:03.840 you can sprint, run, dive, or slide in any direction 2081 01:29:03.920 --> 01:29:07.439 at any time. So like, to me, I'm like, is 2082 01:29:07.479 --> 01:29:09.840 that make the game like more like Quake? I don't know, 2083 01:29:10.600 --> 01:29:15.119 or just like yeah, yeah, I'm curious, and I am 2084 01:29:15.159 --> 01:29:16.720 someone who's had a lot of fun with Call of 2085 01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:18.720 Duties in the past, and I kind of think I 2086 01:29:18.760 --> 01:29:20.760 am kind of waiting for something they'll get me back 2087 01:29:20.800 --> 01:29:23.800 on board. I think when they went back from the 2088 01:29:24.399 --> 01:29:28.600 advanced warfare style movement back to the boots on the ground, 2089 01:29:28.760 --> 01:29:31.359 I'm like, oh, okay, they're already doing the Hey, we're 2090 01:29:31.359 --> 01:29:33.960 returning to the old favorite, and they're kind of a 2091 01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:36.399 little scared of trying new ideas with the core fundamental 2092 01:29:36.439 --> 01:29:38.239 to how the game works. At that point, I was like, 2093 01:29:38.239 --> 01:29:40.479 all right, I think I'm mostly okay with this franchise. 2094 01:29:40.720 --> 01:29:44.279 So I think having another chance to mess around with that, 2095 01:29:44.319 --> 01:29:46.000 play around with that, I'm hopeful that that could be 2096 01:29:46.039 --> 01:29:46.439 something cool. 2097 01:29:46.520 --> 01:29:49.000 Yeah, because you can't really run backwards as fast as 2098 01:29:49.119 --> 01:29:50.359 you can run forwards in real. 2099 01:29:50.439 --> 01:29:51.119 Well, maybe you can't. 2100 01:29:51.319 --> 01:29:53.319 Not with that attitude, it never had the same type 2101 01:29:53.319 --> 01:29:55.640 of mobility that like titan Fall felt like you know. 2102 01:29:56.000 --> 01:29:57.680 Right, it got close with Advanced Warfare. 2103 01:29:57.760 --> 01:29:59.399 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love the boosting around with the. 2104 01:29:59.359 --> 01:30:02.159 Exosuity boosting like side boosting in the air and things 2105 01:30:02.199 --> 01:30:02.399 like that. 2106 01:30:02.399 --> 01:30:03.840 That was really put me in xosuit. 2107 01:30:03.880 --> 01:30:05.640 Please do you know they almost put me in an 2108 01:30:05.680 --> 01:30:09.159 exosuit for Advanced war fairthday oh for that okay. 2109 01:30:09.239 --> 01:30:11.520 Okay game and former cover story for it. 2110 01:30:11.640 --> 01:30:13.720 They flew me out. This is actually when I flew 2111 01:30:13.760 --> 01:30:15.680 out for this trip. I was also apartment hunting because 2112 01:30:15.680 --> 01:30:17.199 I knew I was coming to a giant bomb. But 2113 01:30:17.520 --> 01:30:19.439 part of the plan for that trip was they were 2114 01:30:19.439 --> 01:30:21.600 going to take me to this like robotics place to 2115 01:30:21.680 --> 01:30:23.920 show that like oh see, it's it's just very near future. 2116 01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:24.760 We have this stuff now. 2117 01:30:24.960 --> 01:30:26.640 And they were talking about like we're going to put 2118 01:30:26.640 --> 01:30:28.159 you in an exosuit and you'll get to like lift 2119 01:30:28.399 --> 01:30:32.159 a little boulders or something really heavy for like Macnamara 2120 01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:33.359 told me like, yeah, I think they want to put 2121 01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:34.560 you in like a robot suit, and I was like 2122 01:30:34.680 --> 01:30:38.359 I'm and we're gonna shoot a video.

I always worry about. I 2126 01:30:44.840 --> 01:30:47.319 worry about It always occurs to me to think of 2127 01:30:47.439 --> 01:30:50.960 the Metroid Prime, like the Visor sequence where you like 2128 01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:53.640 can scan the thing and they show the space Pirates 2129 01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:58.079 trying to build a morphball and they're like skeletons all 2130 01:30:58.119 --> 01:30:59.600 mangled and stuff that. 2131 01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:01.439 It definitely happened to me. If I get into a 2132 01:31:01.520 --> 01:31:04.279 robot suit, like, that'll happen. But you think you're gonna 2133 01:31:04.279 --> 01:31:05.800 be ripley, but no, you're just gonna. 2134 01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:06.960 Be wrapped apart exactly. 2135 01:31:07.359 --> 01:31:10.159 Yeah, as someone that worked at a company trying to 2136 01:31:10.159 --> 01:31:13.840 build a robot fighting league, the technology. 2137 01:31:13.399 --> 01:31:16.000 Is not there yet, Yeah, far from it. 2138 01:31:17.039 --> 01:31:20.920 Uh More details emerge on Payback, Bunge's canceled Third Person's 2139 01:31:21.039 --> 01:31:25.720 Destiny spinoff. Of course, those layoffs happened at Bungee. I 2140 01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:28.279 think that that did. That happen kind of around last 2141 01:31:28.279 --> 01:31:29.800 week on the BombCast. I'm not sure if we talked 2142 01:31:29.800 --> 01:31:32.000 about all that either way. Two hundred and twenty people 2143 01:31:32.000 --> 01:31:34.199 were laid off. Another one hundred and fifty five were 2144 01:31:34.199 --> 01:31:37.319 reassigned into Sony Interactive Entertainment. Bunge is going to be 2145 01:31:37.319 --> 01:31:41.119 moved under Sony Interactive Entertainment. Basically Hermann Holst will be 2146 01:31:41.159 --> 01:31:44.720 in charge like he is with all studios, all PlayStation studios. 2147 01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:47.760 In addition to that, Luke Smith, who was well known 2148 01:31:47.800 --> 01:31:50.119 as the creative director on a lot of Destiny Too, 2149 01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:53.680 he has left the company, so as Mark Noseworthy. They 2150 01:31:53.680 --> 01:31:57.800 were both working on Payback Payback being the next big 2151 01:31:57.920 --> 01:32:01.520 thing for Destiny, but not Destiny three. The reason it's 2152 01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:04.279 not Destiny three is that it's more They describe it 2153 01:32:04.319 --> 01:32:07.479 as being more like Ginshin impact even third person going 2154 01:32:07.560 --> 01:32:10.600 out into the world and running quests and stuff like that. 2155 01:32:11.239 --> 01:32:13.319 But it was Luke Smith's game, so it was going 2156 01:32:13.399 --> 01:32:14.960 to be the next big thing, but they canceled that 2157 01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:18.159 a few weeks back. Luke Smith, Mark knows whether you 2158 01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:21.279 had nothing to work on, so they left. They were fired. 2159 01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:23.119 Kind of doesn't matter because it's all wrapped up in 2160 01:32:23.159 --> 01:32:27.960 that like nebulous idea of this company's in trouble. There's 2161 01:32:27.960 --> 01:32:29.479 nothing for you to work on. What are you gonna do? 2162 01:32:29.600 --> 01:32:32.560 Just sit around and do nothing? Clearly that wasn't an option, 2163 01:32:32.680 --> 01:32:35.239 so they got some sort of package likely and left 2164 01:32:35.279 --> 01:32:39.239 the company. Yeah, a lot going on with Bungie, but 2165 01:32:39.279 --> 01:32:43.239 that payback sounded somewhat interesting. But I have no idea 2166 01:32:43.319 --> 01:32:46.800 if it's what that fandom was going to want. But 2167 01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:49.199 in the meantime, Destiny two will keep getting new content, 2168 01:32:49.239 --> 01:32:52.520 but it's gonna be smaller content twice a year. Things 2169 01:32:52.520 --> 01:32:54.000 that are, it's gonna be missing some of the features 2170 01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:56.640 people are accustomed to getting when they pay for this stuff. 2171 01:32:57.319 --> 01:32:59.199 And the game's gonna have to continue like that for 2172 01:32:59.199 --> 01:33:01.520 a while because Marathon it's the next big bang from 2173 01:33:01.600 --> 01:33:04.960 Bungie and that's coming out next year apparently still, and 2174 01:33:05.039 --> 01:33:07.359 a lot is riding on that game doing well for 2175 01:33:07.479 --> 01:33:08.000 the company. 2176 01:33:08.159 --> 01:33:11.239 Yeah, it's like maybe Marathon's gonna like save Bungie. But 2177 01:33:11.279 --> 01:33:14.079 it just seems like because you know, no, no Destiny 2178 01:33:14.079 --> 01:33:16.000 three in development right now is what everyone's saying, which 2179 01:33:16.039 --> 01:33:17.039 is wild to me. 2180 01:33:17.600 --> 01:33:21.239 And two and there never was, yeah, yeah, and there was, there's. 2181 01:33:21.319 --> 01:33:24.239 Some support for Destiny two, but like that's gonna look 2182 01:33:24.399 --> 01:33:26.000 probably pretty slow right away. 2183 01:33:26.199 --> 01:33:27.760 What does that look like in three years? 2184 01:33:27.840 --> 01:33:29.359 And you know, if you put a Destiny three in 2185 01:33:29.399 --> 01:33:32.079 development now, we're not going to see that for a while. 2186 01:33:32.520 --> 01:33:35.039 It just feels like, you know, you never say something's 2187 01:33:35.079 --> 01:33:37.920 dead forever, but boy, is Destiny just about to be 2188 01:33:38.199 --> 01:33:42.479 in a pretty pretty long down time here, and it's 2189 01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:43.640 kind of a sad thing. 2190 01:33:43.680 --> 01:33:45.520 And they are not going to start working on Destiny 2191 01:33:45.520 --> 01:33:48.119 three right now like they have. They have to like 2192 01:33:48.159 --> 01:33:49.760 stick with what Destiny two is for a while, and 2193 01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:52.039 then Marathon has to come out and do well, and 2194 01:33:52.119 --> 01:33:54.479 all this Frontiers content that is like basically the new 2195 01:33:54.520 --> 01:33:57.399 generation of Destiny two stuff needs to do well and 2196 01:33:57.640 --> 01:34:00.279 all of that stuff. Of all those if ifs line 2197 01:34:00.399 --> 01:34:02.960 up at that point, they will reassess what they're going 2198 01:34:03.000 --> 01:34:04.760 to do with the future of Destiny. That's a lot 2199 01:34:04.800 --> 01:34:07.119 of hoops to jump through, Greub exactly. It's going to 2200 01:34:07.159 --> 01:34:10.000 be very up the high level of difficulty. And the 2201 01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:12.760 more likely scenario is we look back in a couple 2202 01:34:12.800 --> 01:34:15.159 of years and it's like, Okay, they are kind of 2203 01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:17.760 paring down Bungie even further or something like. 2204 01:34:17.720 --> 01:34:19.880 That attal Marathon doesn't hit like they think it will. 2205 01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:21.239 It kind of is terrifying. 2206 01:34:21.399 --> 01:34:23.960 What if it just doesn't get their two hit? 2207 01:34:24.520 --> 01:34:27.319 Yeah, well, I mean I don't because they're cutting staff 2208 01:34:27.399 --> 01:34:27.880 so deeply. 2209 01:34:28.079 --> 01:34:31.319 Yeah, that game's gotta coming, nothing's gotta but that it's 2210 01:34:31.359 --> 01:34:33.039 a probably that game never even comes out. 2211 01:34:33.119 --> 01:34:35.079 If all the hopes and dreams. 2212 01:34:34.880 --> 01:34:36.720 Are on especially it's supposed to come out next year, 2213 01:34:36.760 --> 01:34:38.880 so like they have the idea in their head that 2214 01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:39.960 they're relatively. 2215 01:34:39.560 --> 01:34:42.399 What if Naughty Dog cancels it, that'd be funny. 2216 01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:49.159 Yeah, little payback? Yeah, sorry, everybody don't need to be 2217 01:34:49.199 --> 01:34:50.840 making jokes. A lot of people lost their job and 2218 01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:51.920 here we are goofing off. 2219 01:34:52.239 --> 01:34:53.680 Michael, we had a tortilla or something. 2220 01:34:53.840 --> 01:34:57.239 Yeah, come on, jesus if it makes you feel better. 2221 01:34:57.279 --> 01:34:59.920 I'm realizing that this astro butt shirt I'm wearing kind 2222 01:34:59.920 --> 01:35:02.439 of it just looks like an apple actually. 2223 01:35:03.760 --> 01:35:04.199 A bomb. 2224 01:35:05.119 --> 01:35:05.319 Yeah. 2225 01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:07.439 No, it's supposed to be as show, but now I'm like, 2226 01:35:07.479 --> 01:35:09.359 this looks as like an apple. I can never wear 2227 01:35:09.399 --> 01:35:09.840 this again. 2228 01:35:10.079 --> 01:35:13.960 Wow. Yeah, the future bungs you very much. Still in question. 2229 01:35:14.680 --> 01:35:17.359 There will be some answers going forward, but I think 2230 01:35:17.359 --> 01:35:18.880 a lot of that's going to ride on can they 2231 01:35:18.880 --> 01:35:21.079 make people feel good about Destiny to again? And that 2232 01:35:21.159 --> 01:35:25.920 seems very challenging on exactly rough avowed. Meanwhile, has been 2233 01:35:25.960 --> 01:35:29.039 delayed until early twenty twenty five. If you remember, this 2234 01:35:29.079 --> 01:35:30.840 is the Obsidian game that was going to be a 2235 01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:32.479 console exclusive for Xbox. 2236 01:35:33.760 --> 01:35:34.399 Didn't have a date. 2237 01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:36.159 It was like twenty twenty four kind of seemed like 2238 01:35:36.199 --> 01:35:40.000 it might be October November in that range. I think 2239 01:35:40.039 --> 01:35:43.159 there was a leak date for November sometime. Microsoft is 2240 01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:45.319 publicly said, hey, we have a lot of games come out, 2241 01:35:45.359 --> 01:35:47.880 so do a lot of other people. Let's clear some 2242 01:35:47.920 --> 01:35:49.399 of that space and we're going to give this game 2243 01:35:49.399 --> 01:35:51.640 a chance to breathe in early twenty twenty five, which 2244 01:35:52.039 --> 01:35:54.760 I don't doubt is a factor. But also like, you 2245 01:35:54.800 --> 01:35:57.119 just don't delay games unless they need more time, because 2246 01:35:57.199 --> 01:35:59.479 every day you don't put out a game, it costs money, 2247 01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:02.680 just right, and you can you can count up that 2248 01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:05.920 amount of money in five digits and sometimes six digits 2249 01:36:05.960 --> 01:36:09.119 every single day. So they won't want to do that 2250 01:36:09.159 --> 01:36:12.159 for too long unless the game really needs it. It 2251 01:36:12.239 --> 01:36:15.439 probably does whether or not. That's like, oh for bugs 2252 01:36:15.560 --> 01:36:18.439 or to give it a little bit more shine. Either way, 2253 01:36:18.479 --> 01:36:20.439 I hope this game gets the love it needs because 2254 01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:22.279 I really want this game to hit. I like Obsidian, 2255 01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:25.000 I like the look of this I feel pretty positive 2256 01:36:25.000 --> 01:36:26.640 about it. And I know that's a little bit of 2257 01:36:26.680 --> 01:36:29.039 a nonleg mike. You feel very positive about it, Yeah, 2258 01:36:29.199 --> 01:36:29.399 Like I. 2259 01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:31.720 Don't, you know, I always think this game looks good 2260 01:36:31.760 --> 01:36:33.760 and I'm just excited, Like, yeah, Citty is making, you know, 2261 01:36:33.800 --> 01:36:36.800 another first person rpg. We like when they do that, right, 2262 01:36:37.359 --> 01:36:39.800 we haven't gotten you know, we don't get too many 2263 01:36:39.800 --> 01:36:42.039 of these from other studios really, so I thought every 2264 01:36:42.039 --> 01:36:44.560 won't be excited. It seems like everyone's always a little 2265 01:36:44.640 --> 01:36:47.560 down or non plussed about it. So maybe that's another 2266 01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:49.560 reason to delay a bit. Maybe work on it so 2267 01:36:49.600 --> 01:36:52.119 you get some kind of triller or something that can 2268 01:36:52.640 --> 01:36:55.640 really while people whatever it is that they are looking for. 2269 01:36:56.279 --> 01:36:59.680 I'm not sure, but yeah, I just want this game 2270 01:36:59.720 --> 01:37:03.119 to be good. If delaying helps for either the what 2271 01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:05.960 I think is the real reason you know theeds were time, 2272 01:37:06.399 --> 01:37:08.119 or even just trying to get out of the way 2273 01:37:08.159 --> 01:37:11.520 of some other Fall games, sure, whatever, but no, I'm 2274 01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:12.840 still looking forward to this one. 2275 01:37:14.239 --> 01:37:16.439 Let's see. Uh I got a few more stories after 2276 01:37:16.479 --> 01:37:18.279 this one, Jane, just let you know that got added late. 2277 01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:20.119 I'll let you know, but first we'll hit this one. 2278 01:37:20.199 --> 01:37:22.840 Nintendo sticks to its annual sales forecast as Q one 2279 01:37:22.920 --> 01:37:26.359 operating profit drops seventy percent year on year. Now that 2280 01:37:26.439 --> 01:37:30.039 comparison year on year is because in that previous quarter 2281 01:37:30.119 --> 01:37:33.520 they had the release of Twilight Princess, which basically instance 2282 01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:34.800 and sold twenty million copies. 2283 01:37:34.840 --> 01:37:37.560 Here's of the Kingdom, Here's the what did I say, 2284 01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:38.600 Twilight Princess? 2285 01:37:38.880 --> 01:37:45.359 Oh boy, so one of those letters was right, uh, 2286 01:37:45.600 --> 01:37:48.000 tiers of the Kingdom. They also had the Mario movie, 2287 01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:49.640 which made a lot of money for them as well, 2288 01:37:49.680 --> 01:37:51.359 and you know, a lot of that stuff made might 2289 01:37:51.399 --> 01:37:53.520 get sent to them later. I don't know how the 2290 01:37:53.560 --> 01:37:56.279 movie business works, but that was happening in the same quarter, 2291 01:37:56.600 --> 01:37:58.479 so it was always going to be a tough comparison. 2292 01:37:58.560 --> 01:38:00.880 What really is is troublesome as that they do seem 2293 01:38:00.880 --> 01:38:03.600 to be coming in under their forecast for how many 2294 01:38:03.640 --> 01:38:05.159 switches they're going to sell this year. They want to 2295 01:38:05.159 --> 01:38:08.119 sell thirteen point five million. They claim that they're going 2296 01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:09.840 to continue to hit. They're still going to hit that. 2297 01:38:10.199 --> 01:38:12.520 If they're going to do that, they either need some 2298 01:38:13.159 --> 01:38:15.000 big game that gets people to buy buy a lot 2299 01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:18.600 of switches. Now that maybe that is Pokemon Za. What 2300 01:38:18.720 --> 01:38:21.520 is it, guys? Yeah? 2301 01:38:21.720 --> 01:38:21.840 Right? 2302 01:38:22.840 --> 01:38:25.600 This Yeah, maybe this Za comes through and really crushes 2303 01:38:25.800 --> 01:38:28.039 that seems likely at a certain point as long as 2304 01:38:28.079 --> 01:38:31.560 it comes out in this fiscal year, and then there 2305 01:38:31.600 --> 01:38:33.880 always could be a price drop. Now that I'm like 2306 01:38:33.920 --> 01:38:36.760 a little bit more suspicious of because I don't know, 2307 01:38:36.800 --> 01:38:39.159 if Nintendo wants to drop the price on hardware right 2308 01:38:39.159 --> 01:38:41.359 when it's getting ready to launch new hardware for likely 2309 01:38:41.399 --> 01:38:43.560 a higher price, I think they want that point of 2310 01:38:43.560 --> 01:38:45.880 comparison to be as high as possible, so it'd be like, well, 2311 01:38:45.920 --> 01:38:48.520 it's only fifty or one hundred dollars more for this thing, 2312 01:38:48.560 --> 01:38:51.840 I'll just get that and it's new and shiny. But 2313 01:38:51.920 --> 01:38:53.640 I don't know, Well, how are you guys feeling about 2314 01:38:53.640 --> 01:38:55.760 Switch being able to sell a ton more systems this year? 2315 01:38:56.760 --> 01:38:59.039 I feel like it's impossible to not just look ahead 2316 01:38:59.079 --> 01:39:01.760 to the two or whatever it's called at this point, 2317 01:39:01.880 --> 01:39:04.560 like it's had, it's run, it's got a couple more things. 2318 01:39:04.600 --> 01:39:07.760 Everyone's one or a couple of switches already. 2319 01:39:08.680 --> 01:39:12.439 Unless it gets heavily reduced in price at. 2320 01:39:12.279 --> 01:39:13.800 The points like the one option. 2321 01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:16.359 But I know you're skeptical, but I'm like, there's gotta 2322 01:39:16.439 --> 01:39:18.640 be like, there's got to maybe a holiday price. 2323 01:39:19.079 --> 01:39:21.159 Finally, how much is it played over there? 2324 01:39:21.359 --> 01:39:24.119 How much is an OLED go free fifty three fifty and. 2325 01:39:24.119 --> 01:39:26.000 It was always three fifty, and that was fifty dollars 2326 01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:29.000 more than the Switch original, which never went down in price, 2327 01:39:29.079 --> 01:39:29.880 is still three hundred. 2328 01:39:30.399 --> 01:39:31.159 It's pretty nuts. 2329 01:39:31.159 --> 01:39:34.840 Wow, even fifty bucks there, like three hundred dollars still 2330 01:39:34.880 --> 01:39:40.239 kind of seems like holiday. Yeah, yeah, because I mean 2331 01:39:40.239 --> 01:39:42.079 what you know, like you know, they saw some games, 2332 01:39:42.079 --> 01:39:44.960 they've had some games, but it's been like more niche stuff, 2333 01:39:45.399 --> 01:39:47.319 like you know, in the Tenor World Championship. We love 2334 01:39:47.800 --> 01:39:51.239 EO is coming out right in as and you know 2335 01:39:51.279 --> 01:39:55.199 that's even more niche. Maybe Nintender World Championship it had 2336 01:39:55.239 --> 01:39:59.439 stuff like Luigi's Mansion two, you know, not none of 2337 01:39:59.479 --> 01:40:03.640 them ad games. But they don't have a Zoda or 2338 01:40:04.199 --> 01:40:07.279 a Mario. You know, we have a Mario Party coming out. Yeah, 2339 01:40:07.399 --> 01:40:10.520 that will definitely get that'll do some very well. 2340 01:40:10.600 --> 01:40:13.159 Yeah, that'll be the like the big holiday family game 2341 01:40:13.199 --> 01:40:15.840 that gets picked up. The people always talking about the 2342 01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:18.039 Grandma's at the store buying the game. She actually does 2343 01:40:18.079 --> 01:40:19.880 show up to the store to buy Mario Party like that. 2344 01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:21.840 Yeah, my Brothership. 2345 01:40:22.079 --> 01:40:23.880 But like you know, the Mario RPGs never sell as 2346 01:40:23.920 --> 01:40:26.239 much as like the new two D or three D 2347 01:40:26.319 --> 01:40:26.880 Mario game. 2348 01:40:26.920 --> 01:40:28.079 I think, well they're doing better. 2349 01:40:28.119 --> 01:40:30.960 A thousand Your Doors the fastest selling RPG from Nintendo, 2350 01:40:31.000 --> 01:40:32.560 I think they said or something like that Mario RPG 2351 01:40:32.720 --> 01:40:34.000 something like My Lost. 2352 01:40:34.359 --> 01:40:37.279 It seems insane that Nintendo just dropped the ball with 2353 01:40:37.359 --> 01:40:39.600 Animal Crossing with how well it did for them during 2354 01:40:39.600 --> 01:40:40.199 the pandemic. 2355 01:40:40.399 --> 01:40:43.159 Yeah, but I mean from their point of view, it's 2356 01:40:43.199 --> 01:40:45.239 it's not gonna look that way because do you know 2357 01:40:45.239 --> 01:40:46.560 how many copies that game was sold? 2358 01:40:47.079 --> 01:40:48.000 Insane amount? 2359 01:40:48.079 --> 01:40:54.239 Yes, forty five million copies, but like think about yeah, 2360 01:40:54.920 --> 01:41:00.920 it's supporting it. Yeah, and it's like, but they made 2361 01:41:01.039 --> 01:41:02.800 all of the money in the world from it. So 2362 01:41:03.520 --> 01:41:05.640 there's only one game on the Switch that's sold better, 2363 01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:08.960 and that is a Mario Kart eight Deluxe. And there's 2364 01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:10.800 only one game that sold better than it, I think 2365 01:41:10.880 --> 01:41:14.760 last quarter. Animal Crossing, like fucking it continues to sell, 2366 01:41:14.880 --> 01:41:19.119 it's like picking up its pace actually, and Mario Kart 2367 01:41:19.159 --> 01:41:21.119 is losing pace. So there's a world in which maybe 2368 01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:23.079 Anaal Crossing starts selling more than Mario Karter. 2369 01:41:25.199 --> 01:41:27.520 Losing I'm not doing. 2370 01:41:27.439 --> 01:41:29.479 Three Smash Brothers. Let's go Smash Bros. 2371 01:41:29.720 --> 01:41:32.640 Yep uh. And the Switch has something like that. That 2372 01:41:32.680 --> 01:41:34.680 list came out and there was like more than fifty 2373 01:41:34.680 --> 01:41:38.800 games that have sold a million copies. So just a huge, 2374 01:41:38.840 --> 01:41:41.319 huge success across the board. And at some point you're 2375 01:41:41.359 --> 01:41:43.199 not going to be able to maintain that momentum. Here 2376 01:41:43.199 --> 01:41:45.119 we are and it's it's just happening. 2377 01:41:44.800 --> 01:41:47.079 In a long time, man, it has been. 2378 01:41:47.319 --> 01:41:50.159 Uh and Sean was mentioning in chat that some folks 2379 01:41:50.159 --> 01:41:52.960 that attract this sort of thing, it looks like z 2380 01:41:53.119 --> 01:41:55.399 A likely won't come out till the second half of 2381 01:41:55.439 --> 01:41:57.279 the year, So that's not this fiscal year. 2382 01:41:57.359 --> 01:41:57.439 Me. 2383 01:41:57.960 --> 01:41:59.560 I think I think there might be a price cut. 2384 01:41:59.560 --> 01:42:01.920 I I also think they're just not gonna hit that target. 2385 01:42:01.960 --> 01:42:04.159 I think both. I think both aren't out of the question. 2386 01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:06.960 All right, some of these other headlines that kind of 2387 01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:09.880 just popped off. Final Fantasy sixteen apparently has a game 2388 01:42:09.920 --> 01:42:13.479 ready driver profile for Nvidia game Ready and Studio Driver 2389 01:42:13.600 --> 01:42:16.279 five sixty point eight one that was released this morning. 2390 01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:20.520 That is usually the kind of thing that happens after 2391 01:42:20.560 --> 01:42:23.520 a game releases, like or like right as it's releasing, 2392 01:42:23.560 --> 01:42:27.119 they have those game ready drivers in there. So this 2393 01:42:27.399 --> 01:42:29.920 is something that we could probably expect pretty soon. I 2394 01:42:29.960 --> 01:42:32.880 don't know, maybe games Com, yeah, maybe, yeah. 2395 01:42:32.920 --> 01:42:34.800 I mean, you know, they've been talking pretty openly about 2396 01:42:34.840 --> 01:42:36.239 working on a PC version. 2397 01:42:36.239 --> 01:42:38.199 Oh yeah, it's been coming, Yes, clearly. 2398 01:42:37.920 --> 01:42:40.039 It's been coming. So but you know, that's a pretty 2399 01:42:40.039 --> 01:42:42.720 interesting sign to maybe it's sooner than we even thought. 2400 01:42:43.319 --> 01:42:45.319 Yep, I think I think games comes not out of 2401 01:42:45.319 --> 01:42:48.760 the question. Also, they did confirm that Star Wars Jedi 2402 01:42:48.800 --> 01:42:52.560 Survivor is coming to Xbox One and PlayStation four on 2403 01:42:52.680 --> 01:42:54.479 September seventeenth of this year. 2404 01:42:54.640 --> 01:42:57.079 Why god, I'm so curious to see what those look like, 2405 01:42:57.119 --> 01:42:59.279 because those games just do not. That game does not 2406 01:42:59.359 --> 01:43:01.439 run great on five n Xbox series. 2407 01:43:01.800 --> 01:43:03.399 It's it's always so weird to think of games that 2408 01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:06.119 like are so clearly identified with one generation. I remember, oh, 2409 01:43:06.159 --> 01:43:07.479 yeah that did, like that came out in like the 2410 01:43:07.479 --> 01:43:09.520 PS two or the Wii or something like that. It's like, 2411 01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:11.680 I wonder what that looks like, And this is going 2412 01:43:11.760 --> 01:43:13.840 to be an exact example of that. 2413 01:43:15.439 --> 01:43:18.760 It's like going to an ex pro skater for PS one. Yeah, 2414 01:43:19.159 --> 01:43:21.760 it's like what that one? I'd like, I know three dated, 2415 01:43:21.880 --> 01:43:26.680 that's fishy, but four three was okay, four was maybe 2416 01:43:26.760 --> 01:43:28.720 maybe just take it out back now. 2417 01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:32.680 I think it's really easy to read this sort of 2418 01:43:32.680 --> 01:43:35.399 thing as the industry is in a weird place that 2419 01:43:35.479 --> 01:43:39.279 the that people aren't buying the new hardware and that's bad. 2420 01:43:39.560 --> 01:43:41.640 I think it's actually more a good sign that people 2421 01:43:41.640 --> 01:43:43.760 are still so interested in gaming that they are still 2422 01:43:43.760 --> 01:43:46.039 playing their PS fours and they're not letting the fomo 2423 01:43:46.119 --> 01:43:48.720 get to them. They like want to be participating in games, 2424 01:43:48.840 --> 01:43:51.039 they just don't have the money. They can't justify spending 2425 01:43:51.039 --> 01:43:52.800 five hundred dollars on hardware to play a lot of 2426 01:43:52.800 --> 01:43:55.199 the same games. So if they can get access to, 2427 01:43:55.359 --> 01:43:57.640 like a the handful of new games that are exclusive 2428 01:43:57.680 --> 01:44:00.279 to the next gen, they're taking advantage of that. And 2429 01:44:00.399 --> 01:44:02.439 I think the industry is making the right call in 2430 01:44:02.479 --> 01:44:04.960 most cases in continue to cater that audience. 2431 01:44:05.000 --> 01:44:06.119 It's a smart choice. 2432 01:44:06.520 --> 01:44:08.279 Yeah, do you think that maybe scares people because like 2433 01:44:08.279 --> 01:44:09.760 I think some of us feel like, man, we're like 2434 01:44:09.840 --> 01:44:13.199 maybe on the other half of this generation, right, and 2435 01:44:13.279 --> 01:44:15.039 it kind of feels like a whole lot hasn't happened. 2436 01:44:15.199 --> 01:44:17.399 But the idea that it feels like that and so 2437 01:44:17.399 --> 01:44:20.880 many people are still on PS fours, I mean, does 2438 01:44:20.880 --> 01:44:23.600 that maybe give them pause about really thinking about those 2439 01:44:23.600 --> 01:44:25.880 next consoles, or does a matter of well or released 2440 01:44:25.880 --> 01:44:27.920 the next consoles, then maybe those people will just get 2441 01:44:27.960 --> 01:44:31.159 on the PS five finally, either through buying them cheap, 2442 01:44:31.239 --> 01:44:32.359 having a friend give them. 2443 01:44:32.239 --> 01:44:34.079 One when they get their PlayStation six. 2444 01:44:34.199 --> 01:44:36.640 I don't know, I think you're like sort of talking 2445 01:44:36.920 --> 01:44:38.840 like I think they're having that conversation, and they're likely 2446 01:44:38.880 --> 01:44:43.359 talking themselves into the future of console generation. Refreshes maybe 2447 01:44:43.359 --> 01:44:47.079 could use a little bit of a rethink, and maybe 2448 01:44:47.079 --> 01:44:49.479 they do happen a little bit more frequently, and we 2449 01:44:49.560 --> 01:44:54.359 do get systems that are basically pro models and come 2450 01:44:54.399 --> 01:44:56.600 out every three or four years or something like that. 2451 01:44:57.239 --> 01:45:00.399 But these are going to be the same thing going forward. Essentially, 2452 01:45:00.439 --> 01:45:02.079 They're going to feel like the same console over and over, 2453 01:45:02.119 --> 01:45:03.960 so you might as well, like let people continue to 2454 01:45:04.000 --> 01:45:05.359 play the games as long as they can. 2455 01:45:05.560 --> 01:45:07.479 You think we could see a future where PlayStation or 2456 01:45:07.600 --> 01:45:09.960 Xbox kind of adopts like an Apple model with like 2457 01:45:10.039 --> 01:45:12.760 an iPad, right, Like that might be like. 2458 01:45:13.039 --> 01:45:16.279 Annuals like kind of aggressive, right. Yeah, So I don't know, 2459 01:45:16.760 --> 01:45:17.800 but maybe. 2460 01:45:17.840 --> 01:45:18.760 Yeah, this makes me think. 2461 01:45:18.960 --> 01:45:21.279 I was reading the YouTube comments on a Giant Bomb 2462 01:45:21.399 --> 01:45:24.159 video Dan, and it was when we played Marvel Rivals, 2463 01:45:24.159 --> 01:45:27.399 and somebody's like this against something because somebody's like, Concord's 2464 01:45:27.439 --> 01:45:29.960 way better. Concord looks like, you know, a modern game, 2465 01:45:30.000 --> 01:45:32.840 This looks like a PlayStation four Gabe, And I was 2466 01:45:32.880 --> 01:45:35.680 just thinking, what the hell does that mean? 2467 01:45:36.600 --> 01:45:38.600 And Also it's like, yeah, they want this thing to 2468 01:45:38.680 --> 01:45:40.680 run everywhere. So that's what you're saying. You're seeing a 2469 01:45:40.680 --> 01:45:44.720 game that can eventually run on phones like big big shot. Yeah, 2470 01:45:44.800 --> 01:45:46.960 And honestly, Concord is going to be a situation where 2471 01:45:47.000 --> 01:45:51.039 they wish they had that. So all right, so I 2472 01:45:51.039 --> 01:45:53.119 think maybe one last one here. 2473 01:45:53.159 --> 01:45:54.840 Yees talk about half Lay three. I heard that that 2474 01:45:54.880 --> 01:45:58.239 got confirmed. Yeah, so half Life three believe? 2475 01:45:58.520 --> 01:46:02.279 Okay, yeah, half Life three is the thing that going 2476 01:46:02.319 --> 01:46:07.000 around because what was it? There was a leaked game 2477 01:46:07.079 --> 01:46:12.279 name I don't know, yeah, and there is references to 2478 01:46:12.399 --> 01:46:15.479 half Life. And then Tyler McVicker, who is like a 2479 01:46:15.680 --> 01:46:18.119 does a lot of news stories on YouTube about Valve 2480 01:46:18.199 --> 01:46:20.479 and Steam.

Hey, bombers, I 2558 01:50:33.640 --> 01:50:36.119 think we can all agree that the Xbox controller a 2559 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:39.399 button is much better than the switch a button placement. 2560 01:50:39.800 --> 01:50:42.119 But that leads me to the real question, what is 2561 01:50:42.119 --> 01:50:46.720 the canonical X button location? All three controllers have it, 2562 01:50:46.880 --> 01:50:49.159 and I feel like only one can win this very 2563 01:50:49.199 --> 01:50:52.800 important battle. Love the show Blake in Texas. Gotta going 2564 01:50:53.000 --> 01:50:54.239 the Xbox, Xbox. 2565 01:50:54.319 --> 01:50:57.159 I think it's Xbox. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. 2566 01:50:57.319 --> 01:51:00.439 Xbox also had the benefit of, you know, most people 2567 01:51:00.520 --> 01:51:02.840 in the last ten to fifteen years, if they're using 2568 01:51:02.880 --> 01:51:05.279 a controller on PC or using an Xbox controller at 2569 01:51:05.279 --> 01:51:08.520 post three sixty and so, we're so used to seeing 2570 01:51:08.600 --> 01:51:11.119 you know, X three load and it's the Xbox X. 2571 01:51:11.319 --> 01:51:13.119 So I feel like that's the one my head goes 2572 01:51:13.119 --> 01:51:15.439 to first, even if the other one is predated, you know. 2573 01:51:15.840 --> 01:51:18.920 Yep, I agree, yeah, and I and I don't. I 2574 01:51:18.920 --> 01:51:21.239 don't hate the controller of or the placement of a 2575 01:51:21.399 --> 01:51:23.199 on the Nintendo controllers. I get used to it. I'm 2576 01:51:23.239 --> 01:51:25.119 fine with it these days, even going back and forth 2577 01:51:25.119 --> 01:51:26.439 between that and Xbox controller. 2578 01:51:26.880 --> 01:51:27.039 Uh. 2579 01:51:27.279 --> 01:51:30.159 But yeah, if I were to like build my own 2580 01:51:30.199 --> 01:51:32.439 control of the way back of our builds his own keyboards, 2581 01:51:32.479 --> 01:51:34.520 I would put the button placement the way the Xbox 2582 01:51:34.520 --> 01:51:35.920 has it pretty much. Yeah. 2583 01:51:36.039 --> 01:51:39.359 Yeah, I stuffle between those three controllers so much that 2584 01:51:39.399 --> 01:51:42.640 I like, I'm pretty good at just adjusting. Uh, but 2585 01:51:42.760 --> 01:51:44.680 like the one thing you want to play Nintendo, I 2586 01:51:44.680 --> 01:51:47.159 get used to the different AB pretty quickly. 2587 01:51:47.479 --> 01:51:48.159 I don't even know why. 2588 01:51:48.199 --> 01:51:50.319 I think if it as the different AB, I've probably 2589 01:51:50.399 --> 01:51:53.159 used more Nintendo controllers and Xbox ones that might at 2590 01:51:53.159 --> 01:51:54.920 this point in my life. But yeah, I still think 2591 01:51:54.960 --> 01:51:57.680 of that Xbox as the default. But like I can't 2592 01:51:57.680 --> 01:52:00.359 adjust to the ab X being on the top on 2593 01:52:00.520 --> 01:52:03.000 like the Nintendo stuff actually feels kind of right. 2594 01:52:03.119 --> 01:52:05.600 I always struggle with that one because for me, it 2595 01:52:05.720 --> 01:52:10.119 was like why as jumping in like Oblivion and Skyrim 2596 01:52:10.159 --> 01:52:12.079 became like that's where I just pressed the button up 2597 01:52:12.119 --> 01:52:14.680 here to hit why to do that? And it's so 2598 01:52:14.880 --> 01:52:16.800 hard to get that mixture out of my head. 2599 01:52:17.079 --> 01:52:19.359 What I like that they do in some Switch games 2600 01:52:19.359 --> 01:52:22.600 and some PC games is instead of highlighting like the 2601 01:52:22.640 --> 01:52:25.760 specific button like x A, et cetera, they just put 2602 01:52:25.760 --> 01:52:28.359 the placement on the controller. It's like, all right, I 2603 01:52:28.359 --> 01:52:28.760 can get. 2604 01:52:28.680 --> 01:52:29.079 Down with this. 2605 01:52:29.239 --> 01:52:32.680 Yeah kind of with that, Yeah, I think, Uh, isn't 2606 01:52:32.680 --> 01:52:33.920 it the Demon Slayer game we played? 2607 01:52:33.960 --> 01:52:34.199 Did that? 2608 01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:38.000 If I'm making that up, remember, I try to forget that. 2609 01:52:38.720 --> 01:52:40.640 I remember I won and then I got the press 2610 01:52:40.680 --> 01:52:41.159 that weekend. 2611 01:52:42.359 --> 01:52:44.600 God, I just want to send you a different anime 2612 01:52:44.680 --> 01:52:47.439 to get upset about.

I don't know why I 2663 01:54:57.000 --> 01:54:59.960 didn't play it until like the pandemic and turns out that's. 2664 01:54:59.800 --> 01:55:00.920 Really good, right. 2665 01:55:01.279 --> 01:55:03.680 That's like one of my favorite things about this year 2666 01:55:03.800 --> 01:55:05.680 is the thousand year Door remake coming out. 2667 01:55:05.760 --> 01:55:06.199 Not this guy. 2668 01:55:06.279 --> 01:55:07.000 I loved it. 2669 01:55:07.000 --> 01:55:08.560 It's because, like I don't know, so many more people 2670 01:55:08.600 --> 01:55:10.600 are talking about it and seeing how great it is 2671 01:55:10.920 --> 01:55:12.159 that it makes me so happy. 2672 01:55:12.640 --> 01:55:14.600 Uh. It took me a while to try out the 2673 01:55:14.640 --> 01:55:18.159 SSX games because I was just so heavily Tony Hawk 2674 01:55:18.199 --> 01:55:22.000 pilled that I'm like, no skateboards for life. Fuck snowboarding. 2675 01:55:22.920 --> 01:55:25.399 And then Sean White broke down the glass ceiling there 2676 01:55:25.600 --> 01:55:31.600 between the two Arders did yeah all right. 2677 01:55:31.720 --> 01:55:35.119 Next email comes from Jones and Saint Paul and they 2678 01:55:35.199 --> 01:55:38.960 write in about D and D. Hey bombinos, I love 2679 01:55:39.000 --> 01:55:41.319 the idea of Giant Bomb actually playing a D and 2680 01:55:41.399 --> 01:55:43.800 D game, and may have an idea that could circumvent 2681 01:55:43.920 --> 01:55:47.000 the confusion. Dan Riker is worried he may have may 2682 01:55:47.119 --> 01:55:50.399 interest you in Worldwide Wrestling. It's a tabletop RBG munch 2683 01:55:50.520 --> 01:55:53.159 like D and D in the Powered by Apocalypse system, 2684 01:55:53.279 --> 01:55:55.439 but the whole stick is that you were playing wrestlers 2685 01:55:55.520 --> 01:56:01.560 who fit roles in craft storylines. The PBTA system OH 2686 01:56:01.560 --> 01:56:04.640 Powered by the Apocalypse is also pretty simple to understand. 2687 01:56:04.760 --> 01:56:06.800 It's a lot more narrative focus as opposed to being 2688 01:56:07.079 --> 01:56:10.359 a combat simulator like GINDI just some food for thought. Also, 2689 01:56:10.439 --> 01:56:12.920 I attended ww RAW and Saint Paul last week, the 2690 01:56:12.960 --> 01:56:18.279 same show Dan was at and hooked. That's what I thought. 2691 01:56:19.560 --> 01:56:21.479 Anything never set foot in Saint Paul. 2692 01:56:21.560 --> 01:56:22.880 That's the bo he told me. 2693 01:56:23.680 --> 01:56:25.960 Any tips for someone who is just beginning to get 2694 01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:28.760 into wrestling in his late thirties. And if I see 2695 01:56:28.840 --> 01:56:30.920 Dan at SmackDown, which should I shout at him? Big 2696 01:56:30.920 --> 01:56:32.479 fan of the show? Kiss on the cheek, Jones and 2697 01:56:32.560 --> 01:56:33.319 Saint Paul. 2698 01:56:33.600 --> 01:56:37.840 Is your shot? Is your shot a wrestling show? Do that? 2699 01:56:37.840 --> 01:56:38.399 That'd be great? 2700 01:56:38.680 --> 01:56:42.359 Yeah? Boy, getting into owls all ignore the D and 2701 01:56:42.399 --> 01:56:48.119 deep part. Just getting into wrestling in your late thirties, God. 2702 01:56:48.000 --> 01:56:49.119 Has never been a better time. 2703 01:56:49.520 --> 01:56:52.039 You just jump in, right, You just start watching it 2704 01:56:52.079 --> 01:56:53.960 and keep it, keeping up with it, and then maybe 2705 01:56:53.960 --> 01:56:56.439 eventually I just go google what's the what are the 2706 01:56:56.439 --> 01:56:58.640 best pay per views and maybe watch some of those restaurants. 2707 01:56:58.800 --> 01:57:01.359 Yeah, well there's a bunch of like YouTube, like here's 2708 01:57:01.359 --> 01:57:04.720 the history of the Undertaker, and you can just watch that. 2709 01:57:04.840 --> 01:57:06.479 And that's the thing, like wrestling does such a good 2710 01:57:06.520 --> 01:57:08.840 job of It's like Nintendo, how they're constantly always switch 2711 01:57:08.880 --> 01:57:11.159 online or any sca, here's all our old stuff.

And if you just put that in YouTube, 2717 01:57:24.800 --> 01:57:28.560 there will be any number of matches and documentaries. 2718 01:57:27.920 --> 01:57:29.279 And there's some really good documentaries. 2719 01:57:29.359 --> 01:57:33.159 Yes, wrestling has so much coverage for so long and 2720 01:57:33.279 --> 01:57:35.399 so many fucking podcasts, So as deep as you want 2721 01:57:35.399 --> 01:57:36.800 to go into it, you can go into it, like 2722 01:57:37.039 --> 01:57:39.680 if you're interested about it, like old stuff.

But just start watching the shows. I would 2727 01:57:48.399 --> 01:57:50.920 not have said that at any point between two thousand 2728 01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:53.239 and one and maybe like a year or two ago, 2729 01:57:53.520 --> 01:57:56.560 because just watching the weekly shows was fucking rough for 2730 01:57:56.680 --> 01:58:01.399 like twenty plus years. But now it it's actually really 2731 01:58:01.399 --> 01:58:03.319 fucking good. And we'll talk about that more on the 2732 01:58:03.319 --> 01:58:05.439 power BombCast.

If aw doesn't hook you, because 2737 01:58:17.079 --> 01:58:20.880 it's more so focused on the matches, maybe something like 2738 01:58:21.119 --> 01:58:24.000 uh Impact might hook you, or even New Japan. 2739 01:58:26.199 --> 01:58:29.720 Going back to It's underground, it's not around anymore. 2740 01:58:29.720 --> 01:58:31.760 But no, no, it didn't have like didn't have like two 2741 01:58:31.840 --> 01:58:33.680 or three like like seasons of story that in the 2742 01:58:33.760 --> 01:58:36.920 first two seasons. That's not a year one assignment for 2743 01:58:36.960 --> 01:58:42.039 your I just thought it was interesting and different for sure. 2744 01:58:42.359 --> 01:58:45.439 You know, I might suggest Luca Underground.

I don't understand actions being dictated by dice. 2834 02:02:08.279 --> 02:02:10.920 Oh, but you don't understand that there are there's variability 2835 02:02:10.960 --> 02:02:12.760 in real world, like when you go to when you 2836 02:02:12.800 --> 02:02:14.920 email someone to say, hey, can I get something, and 2837 02:02:15.000 --> 02:02:17.880 like maybe they're in a bad mood, and you can't 2838 02:02:17.920 --> 02:02:20.560 account for those variables and so all the all the 2839 02:02:20.640 --> 02:02:23.520 dice room and all adjust right, and you don't do 2840 02:02:23.720 --> 02:02:27.199 the game as well you are when you're but talking 2841 02:02:27.199 --> 02:02:29.119 to them, it's still taking a chance because you don't 2842 02:02:29.119 --> 02:02:30.880 know how they're going to react. And so the dice 2843 02:02:31.000 --> 02:02:33.359 is just a metaphor for you not being able to 2844 02:02:33.359 --> 02:02:34.479 account for everything in life. 2845 02:02:34.520 --> 02:02:36.039 That's all Mike, metaphor guy. 2846 02:02:37.039 --> 02:02:39.239 That's weird. I guess, yeah, all right, I guess you 2847 02:02:39.279 --> 02:02:40.960 were the biggest metaphor guy in my head. I don't 2848 02:02:40.960 --> 02:02:42.239 know where I got that mixed up. 2849 02:02:42.520 --> 02:02:44.319 Mike, don't take this the wrong way, but I feel 2850 02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:46.239 like you don't have one through six dice. I feel 2851 02:02:46.239 --> 02:02:49.279 like your personal die is like five through seven you're 2852 02:02:49.319 --> 02:02:51.640 always operating at a high I. 2853 02:02:51.560 --> 02:02:53.840 Got them all.

No, it's it's just like 2857 02:03:01.960 --> 02:03:03.359 you're down, is why? 2858 02:03:03.560 --> 02:03:06.600 Right? You got a plus one? But yeah it's a 2859 02:03:06.600 --> 02:03:08.039 small range, but it's a good range. 2860 02:03:08.119 --> 02:03:13.039 Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you, I think yeah, yeah, tortillas.

How about BombCast. I've 2961 02:07:29.079 --> 02:07:31.600 never been big into Disney movies, but ever since I've 2962 02:07:31.640 --> 02:07:34.239 had kids, I found myself at movie theaters watching the 2963 02:07:34.279 --> 02:07:36.960 newer ones often. I love being around people who are 2964 02:07:37.000 --> 02:07:39.000 passionate about things, and it's been very fun to hear 2965 02:07:39.039 --> 02:07:41.600 Mike nerd out on all things Disney. So I was 2966 02:07:41.680 --> 02:07:44.199 very curious to hear Mike's thoughts on Disney's newer movies 2967 02:07:44.279 --> 02:07:47.479 like Strange World and Wish, which have gone very negative reception. 2968 02:07:47.600 --> 02:07:50.279 I didn't think it was that bad. Also, any discussion 2969 02:07:50.279 --> 02:07:52.239 on your favorite newer Disney movies would be fun too. 2970 02:07:53.600 --> 02:07:57.000 I did not like Wish, I thought, which I used 2971 02:07:57.000 --> 02:07:59.720 this word for for the Cressy Masters. I thought Wish 2972 02:07:59.760 --> 02:08:03.199 was kind a pathetic with all its weird callbacks, and 2973 02:08:03.239 --> 02:08:07.239 it's just formulaic and it was pretty lame. I didn't 2974 02:08:07.279 --> 02:08:09.560 even see Strange worlds. It kind of just bunned me out. 2975 02:08:09.560 --> 02:08:11.720 How much of a bomb that one was, which was. 2976 02:08:14.119 --> 02:08:14.920 Yeah, I. 2977 02:08:16.399 --> 02:08:18.680 Have to watch at some point. But I mean I 2978 02:08:18.800 --> 02:08:21.159 like a lot of the the new ones from before. 2979 02:08:21.159 --> 02:08:25.840 I think Wowana is actually fantastic. I like Frozen one 2980 02:08:26.119 --> 02:08:28.560 a lot. Actually Frozen two is, but the music is 2981 02:08:28.640 --> 02:08:32.079 very good. Frozen yeah, reck at Ralph two is, but 2982 02:08:32.159 --> 02:08:34.800 reck at Ralph one. I mean it's a Disney movie 2983 02:08:34.880 --> 02:08:38.840 about video games. That movie rules. So I think they 2984 02:08:38.840 --> 02:08:42.319 still make plenty of good movies. They have some misses, 2985 02:08:42.359 --> 02:08:42.880 but I. 2986 02:08:42.840 --> 02:08:45.239 Agree with this as a parent taking a kid to 2987 02:08:45.279 --> 02:08:47.720 a movie. Whish is fine. It's not that bad, and 2988 02:08:47.720 --> 02:08:49.680 they've rewatched a bunch of times, and I think some 2989 02:08:49.720 --> 02:08:51.279 of the music is kind of catchy, even though it's 2990 02:08:51.279 --> 02:08:53.119 not clearly not as catchy as a lot of the 2991 02:08:53.119 --> 02:08:54.800 stuff they've done recently. It's fine. 2992 02:08:55.119 --> 02:09:00.399 Big Hero six is great. Max is a great I 2993 02:09:00.439 --> 02:09:00.840 saw them. 2994 02:09:00.840 --> 02:09:03.159 Oh, Zutopia is very good also, I saw him. 2995 02:09:03.159 --> 02:09:05.079 I wanted a bunch of blue Ey over the weekend. 2996 02:09:05.319 --> 02:09:08.119 Yeah, it's very good. They just Disney just distributes that 2997 02:09:08.199 --> 02:09:11.119 in the US. But I do like blue. 2998 02:09:10.720 --> 02:09:14.920 I was surprised at how big Zootopia was in Tokyo. Disney, 2999 02:09:15.079 --> 02:09:19.520 like multiple people Disney Bounding so much as Zutopia merch. 3000 02:09:19.960 --> 02:09:20.520 It was weird. 3001 02:09:20.720 --> 02:09:23.079 Yeah, I mean it was big here, but it's huge 3002 02:09:23.079 --> 02:09:25.520 I think in a lot of the Asian countries. Uh, 3003 02:09:25.640 --> 02:09:28.760 you should watch there's a Zutopia ride in the Shanghai 3004 02:09:28.800 --> 02:09:32.600 Disneyland that's basically uses that Rise of the Resistance trackless technology. 3005 02:09:32.640 --> 02:09:36.640 It's a very advanced, very advanced line. It looks really cool. 3006 02:09:37.000 --> 02:09:39.960 But yeah, they're making a Zutopia too, so they're they're 3007 02:09:39.960 --> 02:09:41.000 not done with Utopia. 3008 02:09:41.199 --> 02:09:44.279 My favorite, I guess not modern Disney movie, because this 3009 02:09:44.319 --> 02:09:47.840 came out ten years ago, was the last theatrical animated 3010 02:09:48.399 --> 02:09:49.560 Winnie the Pooh movie. 3011 02:09:50.119 --> 02:09:52.720 I did like that movie, and not very many people 3012 02:09:52.880 --> 02:09:55.239 saw it.
