2:53

at the best reason. It's fine Yeah,

2:56

Cuba what I should play it now cuz I'm over it. What

2:58

do we think? What do we think? This is this

3:00

is phenomenal. Incredible. Yeah, Max's

3:02

back max is back the

3:05

presentation and just the confidence

3:08

of Everything that

3:10

I saw is above and beyond

3:12

it just felt so Refined.

3:14

I mean, this is deck 9's third life

3:17

is strange game now Yeah, you know and

3:19

and they they're just coming off of the

3:21

expanse as well, which is right genre,

3:24

so they're only had a separate team for

3:26

that though sure sure sure sure yeah,

3:28

but they're they're veterans at this point and

3:31

I Really like

3:33

how they did this it was so It

3:37

was such a great presentation because it

3:39

had a lease who we all

3:41

know is a life is strange veteran She's

3:45

digging in. Yeah, I was like getting those

3:47

questions Totally. So we got to talk to

3:49

the the devs in the presentation, you know

3:51

getting all these Like really

3:53

cool details about you know, the challenges of writing

3:55

the story and what it's like to have max

3:57

back You got to find out what they wouldn't

4:00

letter yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

4:02

and then and then they had you know what

4:07

what everybody wants from a big preview is

4:10

like here's the game uninterrupted here's just like

4:12

a 10 15 minute chunk

4:14

of the game yeah and that

4:16

chunk was so life

4:19

is strange I mean people sitting around a

4:22

campfire like adding chatting about

4:24

life you know that is

4:27

strange it is exactly the

4:29

super awkward the strangest dumb

4:31

joke the absolute like peak

4:35

of life is strange is is

4:37

just talking about life

4:39

you know boring

4:42

and exploring relationships

4:46

it was just so nice to have max back you know

4:48

it just felt so familiar but it's so nice to check

4:50

in with her you know they

4:53

gave away a lot of cool

4:55

story details but also didn't really

4:57

give away anything like super spoiler-free

5:00

just about max's powers you know she can't rewind

5:03

anymore because she has some

5:06

trauma so she hasn't really been doing practice

5:08

it's like trying to run a marathon you

5:12

haven't stretched exactly and you

5:14

haven't been even like running

5:17

at all oh this

5:19

is a bad blood it reminds me

5:21

of feet of clay part 2 featuring

5:23

clay face Batman animated series when he

5:26

tries to morph into a person and

5:28

then he goes back

5:31

into his clay face form and he's like oh

5:33

it's like trying to flex a muscle it starts

5:35

to start to hurt you know atrophy yeah

5:37

yeah the one of the producers said it

5:40

was like

5:42

not speaking a language that you used

5:44

to see yeah so

5:47

so I'm I

5:50

was already so hyped bloodworth

5:52

and somehow some way I'm even more hyped

5:54

after seeing this just just cuz you know

5:57

it was uninterrupted so it's like wow there's the game just

5:59

let me let me I'm ready, I'm ready

6:01

dude. Yeah, well and

6:03

plus like they start to

6:05

pull on these threads of like making you

6:07

ask the questions that you haven't asked yet It's

6:09

like okay. Well like how is

6:11

this even possible and all of

6:14

that stuff? You know and like I you

6:16

know I'm still questioning like okay. Well if

6:18

she's going back between two different timelines Mm-hmm

6:20

where is the other? Yeah,

6:22

max is there like a parallel version

6:24

of her walking around at the same

6:26

time? Right, is she just evaporating her

6:28

current? Yeah, I don't... Will there

6:30

be a time cop? Everyone knows her so she's not

6:32

like a stranger. Will she bump into herself? Exactly. Will

6:35

there be a time cop scene where

6:37

if like you touch each other you

6:39

destroy reality? Yeah, yeah. Camera's

6:43

back. Camera's back and enhanced that's

6:45

what I wanted. But also... And

6:47

it's not a Polaroid anymore, it's like

6:49

a fancy camera. You gotta

6:51

adjust the f-stop or whatever. Yeah,

6:55

well that's what she's been a freelance photographer for who knows

6:57

how many years. Yeah. And then she

6:59

gets this residency at this university and so yeah

7:02

that leaves a real big

7:04

gap to question like okay

7:07

How much time has passed? Mm-hmm.

7:09

And what's been going on? Yeah. And

7:12

also they addressed potentially

7:15

where's Chloe? Where's Chloe? Because without going

7:17

too deep anything the endings of the

7:19

first game are both accounted for. Yeah,

7:21

they said that. You can make that

7:23

choice. Yeah, totally. Say what did

7:26

you do at the end of the first game?

7:28

And even when you booted up Life is Strange

7:30

2 it's like it basically is like what did

7:32

you do in Life is Strange 1? So

7:34

I mean they're very... It sounds like they've put that into

7:36

a conversation this time though which is cool. Yeah, which I

7:39

think is so much better. Yeah. Because

7:41

remember when that happened in 2 we

7:43

were like whoa what happens if you

7:45

know you don't? Or was it true colors even? No it

7:47

was definitely 2. It was 2, yeah. Where it's like whoa

7:49

what if you just start jumping in? That's

7:52

crazy to just ask that at the

7:54

jump. Yeah. And

7:56

I think it's such a big thing

7:59

how it's... invested we were immediately in

8:01

the new characters, Moses

8:04

and Safi. Moses and Safi. Because

8:07

this is a

8:09

franchise where people are

8:11

obsessed with

8:13

our main characters. So

8:16

to introduce new characters is always such

8:18

a big deal and just

8:20

immediately, all of us, we're

8:22

so attached to them. Yeah.

8:25

So I think that's great. And it's just

8:28

a testament to how good the writing and

8:30

the visuals and the acting and the performances

8:32

are. Yeah. Yeah.

8:35

The facial animation was definitely, like I was watching and like,

8:37

this is some like top tiered stuff. I'm really going to

8:40

plan on this. Yeah. Like even like

8:42

some, yeah, like there she just like pulled her

8:44

bottom lip in a little bit. Like,

8:46

yo. Just like naturalistic micro expressions

8:49

and yeah. Yeah. And

8:51

the vibes are just on point, dude. There's

8:53

no reason to like be concerned at all.

8:57

It's just the mood of, you

8:59

know, hanging out, vibing

9:01

out. That's so life is strange

9:04

and just like investigating little

9:06

areas and just all those conversations and

9:08

the choices that you can make. Like

9:11

even when we were watching, you know, we were like, oh, pick

9:13

that one, pick that one. Yeah. So

9:15

fun. Even now we're watching it again for listeners

9:17

and I just like, I

9:20

keep seeing more things that I didn't know. Yeah.

9:22

It's more like docs you could have gone to click on. Yeah. They

9:25

did this demo in like, you know,

9:27

20, 30 minutes and like you can see like, there's

9:29

a lot of different points of interest. It's like, there's

9:31

going to be an hour and a half. Yeah. Yeah.

9:34

And we're going to see. And it looks like. Yeah. Every

9:37

single thing, get every piece of

9:39

dialogue, exhausted dialogue. Yeah. Yeah.

9:43

So excited. Before they get to this part where

9:45

they just completely shut up, they did talk a

9:47

little bit about like the parallel

9:49

worlds gameplay and how like you can

9:51

kind of eavesdrop and see like the

9:53

silhouettes of what's happening on the other

9:55

side. But then there's like,

9:58

there's specific points that you find. Where

10:00

she can like tear through the veil and yeah to

10:02

the other side Super crazy

10:05

and they also kind of like hinted at something to

10:07

her like oh There's a door

10:09

that you can leave unlocked in

10:11

one timeline for yourself. Yeah messing

10:15

with timelines from other

10:18

timelines Yeah,

10:23

exactly yeah, cuz it was the past of

10:25

the future you can mess with it

10:27

a little bit Yeah, it's

10:29

always the present crazy

10:34

Yeah, incredible. So excited.

10:36

Yeah Multiverse

10:39

is done the right way multiverse is

10:42

done the right way because it focuses

10:44

on the character and not every single

10:46

reality And there's you know,

10:48

yeah Like her powers

10:50

are limited. Yeah, and like she's controlling the

10:53

multiverse in a way. It's like only related

10:55

to her Yeah, yeah instead of like this

10:57

whole big thing. Yeah, that's a cool thing

10:59

they talked about though where it's like you

11:01

kind of have to keep track of The

11:04

different versions of each character and like what do

11:06

they know? What have you talked to them about?

11:09

Yeah, you know and you make a

11:11

mistake. It's like oh, no, I'm sorry. Yeah

11:15

Yeah, I'm having a bad day. They call them faux

11:17

pas They're just little faux pas

11:19

where you're like you might say something from another

11:21

reality into this reality and the character is like,

11:23

huh? That's so awesome.

11:25

And what a great way to Make

11:29

the player feel a little extra

11:31

invested a little extra rewarded For

11:34

paying attention. Yeah, yes, but

11:36

also a little extra uneasy in a good

11:38

way kind of you know Oh wait,

11:41

I think I'm in this universe But you

11:43

know and I'll probably start playing with that

11:45

at the end of the game Totally like

11:47

you'll forget she'll forget what universe she's

11:49

in or the universe will start to cross over

11:52

in some way It's like they were doing that,

11:54

you know, cuz she heard a gunshot later

11:57

in the game play She hears it and then sees her

11:59

walking still So it's like, things are

12:01

kind of shaky. I like this part where

12:04

Safi gets that phone call and suddenly

12:06

shifts. It's very

12:08

Twin Peaks or whatever where it's like, oh,

12:12

the hometown sweetheart has some

12:14

secrets. There's

12:17

a dark underbelly maybe. It's interesting

12:19

to me. Yeah, Life

12:21

is Strange loves to escalate.

12:24

So things are gonna get out of

12:27

control for sure. She gets her shit

12:29

wrecked. I

12:34

cannot wait, dude. I can't believe we're here, dude.

12:36

Let's go. It's so close, blood word. Over 29.

12:39

I know. Do we get a press

12:41

release? Do we know about the episode format? I was

12:44

trying to find info on it. Because

12:46

they've changed it over the press release. Even if

12:48

it sends me so much stuff, sometimes

12:50

games like this, they don't send

12:52

me a press release. And I was trying to look at a website

12:55

to see. I couldn't find

12:57

anything more than what they said at the end

12:59

where the collector's edition or premium edition gets chapter

13:01

one, two, three weeks early. I

13:03

think Gabby's right. But I don't know if there's actually

13:05

gonna be an episodic thing or not. Yeah. Cool.

13:09

Well, we know it is episodic, but does it

13:11

come out week to week? Right, right, episodic release

13:13

schedule. Rather than that. Totally.

13:17

He references a comet. I

13:20

think a comet. Asteroid. Asteroid, sorry.

13:22

Also has something to do with it. Maybe.

13:26

Some kind of

13:28

big weather related

13:30

catastrophe. We're

13:32

not unfamiliar with the weather related.

13:34

Well, and chat. Watch the movie

13:37

Coherence if you haven't. Because there's

13:39

a comet and has maybe something to

13:41

do with this movie. Oh. Or

13:43

this game, I mean. Hell yeah. Nice.

13:47

All right. Fucker Xbox. Let's

13:49

talk Xbox. Fucker Xbox. Mm-hmm. Who

13:53

started that? Was that kind of funny thing? I know, it was Don.

13:56

Don, I'm passing over. It was Don in

13:58

an episode of mandatory update. Thank you very much. Yeah,

14:01

that's us and he was playing He

14:04

was playing. I don't remember if Elise

14:06

myself or Kyle wrote that bit,

14:08

but He was

14:10

playing. I don't think

14:13

he was not Phil. He was like

14:15

a coped out like sales rep So

14:25

Xbox We're we're

14:28

you know like like even in

14:30

Jeff had to say you know this you might be kind

14:32

of a down year whatever and all that Half

14:36

his job is like like

14:38

damage control Manage

14:42

expectations. Yeah If

14:44

I'm an indie game in the show and then

14:46

before the show starts Jeff

14:48

sends a tweet and he's like yeah, just

14:50

letting you know guys that this show sucks

14:53

like But he didn't say

14:55

that if you think more than

14:57

that you like just the narcissist I like no

14:59

indie death thinks they're gonna be like the giant

15:02

Sure, but they're like I just feel like he

15:04

always he definitely downplayed what he had So

15:08

if you're in the show you're like Anyways,

15:11

Xbox all narrative though. They

15:13

really did was like hit

15:15

after hit Xbox one

15:18

sgs saying it was crazy

15:20

It was absolutely insane and

15:22

I'm not gonna go through everything because there's a ton

15:25

of freaking stuff Especially when you put all these showcases

15:27

together, so we're just gonna hit some highlights. Yeah And

15:30

we started this show off with freaking doom

15:35

Doom the dark ages The

15:38

world is a better place when a

15:40

doom is coming out. It's the best

15:44

This is such an awesome direction

15:47

to take this franchise Because

15:49

it's like are we at the doom

15:51

reboot which is like doing it's doing its thing You know

15:53

changing up the gameplay changing up the vibes and

15:56

then you have to maternal which builds

15:59

on that And. You.

16:01

Know is is. Sit.

16:04

Like doomed twenty sixteen, but

16:06

like so layered we are

16:08

you maternal. So they

16:10

really feel like they're kind of

16:12

this package deal. Now.

16:16

We're going school. maybe evil. This

16:18

feels like another new era for

16:20

this franchise because we're going into

16:22

the past. Apparently we're getting. The

16:24

thing is that frequently yeah we're

16:26

going. We're getting a pretty cool

16:29

were getting completely new shit like

16:31

that. The the big thing with

16:33

to are do maternal was like

16:35

that grappling right? Super soft on

16:37

right now we're given this a

16:40

belated sealed that reminder Mortal Kombat

16:42

right when Johnny Cage Kids that

16:44

Shield take South. Scorpion. Ah,

16:47

That is what we get here

16:49

and actually called a sealed saw

16:51

sealed Samuel. We get a giant

16:53

ass Mack from the creators of

16:55

Civic Grim. I've learned today by

16:57

the way, That called an

16:59

Allen. And also

17:01

the dragon. That's not just the

17:04

dragon that is a mecca. why

17:06

have like jet engine has a

17:08

laser wings? ssssss me dude cyber

17:10

demons were like the big shit

17:12

but I guess we're getting back

17:14

to drag. happens all right take

17:17

place. The. You enter

17:19

my masters or an implant idol is

17:21

a lot of well isn't about How

17:23

am I know there's haven't as hell

17:26

is random planets. I go to different

17:28

planets like Guy apparently maybe the past

17:30

night so I didn't notice as well.

17:32

We're reacting to it in the moment.

17:35

that, like Sarah. To the formal edits

17:37

that they did in that trailer with i

17:39

Use the The Can. like reload animation and

17:41

condone com where they are in the

17:43

background yeah very cool i think one

17:46

of the things also of the other

17:48

than the shield that really excited me

17:50

was the the bone school crushing weapon

17:52

it's i just assume give me some

17:55

new weapon because it gets his new

17:57

weird says yet is less to like

18:00

Haven't played eternal in a second. I definitely

18:03

finished both ancient gods So don't even call me

18:05

out, but I don't remember a lot of like

18:08

new ass weapons in

18:11

those games You know so

18:13

I would love to see a full-on

18:15

Arsenal of new have like

18:17

even having a melee weapon, you know well

18:20

You have the doom bringer or whatever the

18:22

hell the crucible blade you have the crucible

18:24

blade Which is more of like

18:26

a special move though. It's not even like a thing you

18:28

can really use all the time So

18:30

I yeah, I just want to see a lot

18:32

of new weapons That's my desire for for

18:35

the Dark Ages for sure yeah, cuz even we

18:37

see like the like mace Yeah,

18:42

so even even little teases we've seen

18:44

like already a bunch of new weapons

18:46

and that's exciting weapons at the end

18:48

of chains Bet

18:58

PS5 by the way crazy we don't find that

19:00

out in the Xbox showcase, but it is It'll

19:04

be interesting it'll be interesting to see if

19:06

the gameplay loop is

19:08

similar and I mean I mean that in

19:10

the sense of like You

19:13

know every weapon will counter

19:15

a demon You

19:17

know there's definitely weapons that

19:20

are favorable against certain demons melee

19:23

attacks You know

19:25

replenishing health and ammo Charging

19:27

up your chainsaw, but in this time it'll be

19:30

the shield so it'll be interesting to see if

19:32

that loop I think some of those things are

19:34

still gonna be there for sure yeah, yeah Yeah,

19:36

I need to know how often you're riding that

19:38

laser wing We

19:40

see us riding on it. Yeah,

19:42

so is that right is that like

19:45

yeah, what is the context? Yeah,

19:48

is it like specific spots or can we just

19:50

like come in this? I feel like that's gotta

19:53

be like certain levels or something like that. Yeah

19:58

Yeah crazy it while

20:00

you're writing it so at the end of that you kill

20:02

it. Yeah maybe. And that's 2025? 2025. GTA

20:07

dude check your rear

20:09

view. Holy shit. Next

20:12

one is a really

20:15

curious one. Claire obscure

20:17

expedition 33. This twisted

20:21

Paris inspired city called

20:23

Lounier and

20:25

there's like the painters. Quote,

20:28

once a year the painters wakes and

20:30

paints a number on her monolith. This

20:33

number represents an age, the age of

20:35

everyone who will soon be erased. Year

20:38

by year this number ticks down more people

20:40

die and old age is not so old

20:42

anymore. Chilling a man. Wait. Yeah.

20:45

So you die when you hit that age 33 you're dead. Every

20:47

year. Every year. Then it's 31. Yep. But then everyone above

20:52

it is just dead? No. Because probably. If I'm 32 and it says 33 on

20:54

the pillar. Right. You'll

21:04

age past it. Yeah I'll age past

21:06

it. It depends on when your birthday

21:08

is I guess. Yeah something like that.

21:10

Crazy. I don't know the date mechanics.

21:12

What the hell? But this is a

21:14

crazy, I mean for one it looks

21:16

gorgeous. Yeah. But it's

21:18

a turn based RPG. Oh

21:21

that's this game. Dude the combat

21:23

looks sick. With real time elements. Yeah.

21:26

And this description here is crazy because

21:28

it's like, yeah it says combines

21:30

the depth of a turn based game

21:32

with the thrill of executing a dodge

21:35

or a perfect parry. Yeah. So it's

21:37

like it's turn based but then you're also paying

21:39

attention. Active turn based. Yeah. And then

21:41

free aiming to target weak point and stuff

21:43

too. Like Mario Party. Get those jumps

21:46

dude. Get those timing. Paper

21:48

Mario. Paper Mario I mean yeah. Yeah.

21:51

So yeah a lot

21:53

of crazy what's going on there. That's also

21:55

2025. Wow. Boy I don't

21:57

know if I've been in like that

21:59

high about a premise for a new IP

22:01

in a minute. The number

22:04

is just so everybody's dead? Like

22:06

that's really cool. That

22:08

is really cool. Everyone's dead everywhere or

22:10

just in Paris? Great question.

22:12

Well, Leuvenheir, which is, yeah, whatever this

22:14

painted world. Painted world of

22:17

Ariandel? Yeah, it's pretty

22:19

much in that same vein. I

22:21

guess our characters are 33. Or

22:24

34. They're

22:26

probably 32. Probably 32. Not

22:29

to die on the next one. But

22:31

then they'll be 33 next year. This is what I'm

22:33

saying. They'll be 33 next year. Doesn't make sense. Doesn't

22:36

make sense. Probably would change, their

22:38

age would probably change before the number changes.

22:41

Yeah, but that's what I mean. That's what Gabby's saying.

22:43

If you're 32 and it's 33, you'll

22:46

be 33 when it'll go down to 32. Unless

22:49

it's everywhere above the number. It's gotta

22:51

be above, it's gotta be. So then,

22:53

because I'm sure they had that exact

22:55

same. Literally the age of everyone. Conversation.

22:57

Chat is saying that they will die when

22:59

they turn 33. Yeah.

23:02

The day they turn 33? Yes. That

23:06

makes sense. No, it doesn't. Because

23:08

it's everyone above.

23:12

Apparently it's based on an anime. So people

23:14

actually know the answer. Oh, it's okay. Like

23:16

is it, is it not into an anime or

23:21

is it actually based on an anime? I

23:23

don't know. No, I don't think it's actually

23:25

based on anime. Chat said it was based

23:27

on an ancient anime and I can't

23:29

tell when they're joking or not. That's a troll. That's

23:33

a troll. Okay, I don't know. Chat,

23:35

don't say things. I

23:37

believe you when you say things. What is

23:39

Red Sky saying? Red Sky, Red Sky, is

23:41

this an anime? Is this one

23:44

of your Japanese anime? Looks

23:48

sweet though. Yeah. Next

23:50

one I've got, South of Midnight. Holy

23:52

shit. We got that teaser last year.

23:54

We get to see the game now.

23:58

Also, I was trying to dig out detail. There's only

24:00

been stars in it too. Oh

24:02

yeah, 33. Yeah, yeah. There, we did

24:04

it, Chad. Dodie. The,

24:08

yeah, South of Midnight, I was looking

24:10

for details on Xbox Wire. There's a

24:12

huge freakin' like cover story length article

24:14

there, go check that thing out. So

24:16

you can learn all you can. Check

24:18

a look. But yeah,

24:20

Hazel and Catfish in

24:23

this scene that they say is about a third

24:25

of the way into the game. Spoilers. And

24:30

so there's been a category five hurricane

24:32

that's come through and that's why you've

24:34

lost your mother. What, when

24:36

they've lost, I don't know if she means dead

24:38

or that they don't know where she is. For

24:40

extremely. I think she might

24:43

just be missing. For extremely real

24:45

depressing context, what was like Katrina

24:47

category? Yeah, that was a five.

24:49

Five, okay. So five is like

24:51

the max. Basically. Jesus. But

24:54

so in that event,

24:57

that's when she accessed her powers. Her

25:00

powers came out. And you know, the stress

25:02

of it all. Of weaving,

25:04

which is a magical ability that

25:06

allows her to rework the tapestry

25:08

of the energy that makes up the

25:10

universe, right? So that's when you see her using

25:13

her powers and doing the gliding, all

25:15

of that. That's all weaving stuff. Yeah.

25:18

And then grappling in there. And

25:21

then this, the giant alligator, the

25:23

Durogama was called two toed tom.

25:26

Oh my God. Two toed

25:28

tom. Two toed tom. Yeah.

25:32

And he's best character of the year. Albino

25:34

alligator the size of an island. Blind? Yeah.

25:37

So that's where the bell comes in. That's why

25:39

that's a big deal. Oh. Oh

25:42

dear. Best

25:45

character. This is so cool. Yeah. It's

25:48

like Beast of the Southern Wild. You

25:51

know, kind of. The whole stop

25:53

motion aesthetic. Yeah, I'm so sick.

25:58

I just wasn't expecting. You know when we

26:01

saw this I wasn't expecting the gameplay to be like this. Oh It's

26:04

hack and flash kind of yeah, I wasn't expecting

26:06

like a you know action

26:09

Character action game. Oh, you know oh

26:11

yeah, what the hell? Was

26:15

not expecting it, and

26:17

I think that really helps with Like

26:22

this game getting mainstream buzz as well

26:24

because this is like so many people's

26:26

favorite type of game Just

26:28

a person wasn't not the kind of

26:31

adventure in the past either well, which

26:33

one call it come Yeah,

26:36

it's third person behind you know your

26:39

person platforming vibes

26:44

Yeah, but it's like platformer

26:48

Behind the back. I don't know I just don't know

26:50

why I wasn't expecting I don't know if contrast is always

26:52

behind the back is a little bit more. We happy for

26:54

you. Yes It

26:56

has been a decade since I played through that thing

27:02

2d platformer like yeah Tootie

27:05

platformer not a whole lot. There's not a

27:08

whole lot of The

27:10

Odyssey of recollection on display right now

27:12

I'm gonna be more with the flowers

27:14

blooming and stuff That's kind of like

27:16

the whole point like everything is about

27:18

healing the world And so

27:21

like all of these monsters and stuff for like

27:23

a corruption that you're you're trying to

27:26

Get out yeah And

27:29

like I said just tons and tons more information. I didn't get

27:31

the chance to finish reading before this New

27:33

IP gallery. What are your thoughts? I'm

27:36

of I mean, I'm obsessed. I think it looks amazing. I

27:39

love the setting this like

27:41

Louisiana by you kind of yeah

27:44

Setting is so unique I

27:48

Yeah, I'm just excited to kind of see what

27:51

The deal is. Mm-hmm When

27:54

it you know, it looks like there's multiple ways to go so,

27:56

you know Hopefully that's

27:59

true you know, secrets and stuff

28:01

you can discover. I, besides

28:03

that, I kind of don't have a

28:05

sense of what the game is really. Like

28:08

is it just kind of

28:11

platforming between boss fights? Is it, yeah.

28:13

Is there a hub area? Right, exactly.

28:15

Yeah, I mean, is there something here?

28:17

Is there voodoo, can I do some

28:19

like sick magic powers? So the powers

28:21

we can see are weave, push, and

28:23

pull. Weave can be used to fix

28:25

objects in place to help traversal. But

28:28

they will also bind enemies. Oh.

28:31

Push and pull can be used to move objects

28:33

in the world to help solve puzzles. But

28:36

also affect different combat dynamics, letting

28:38

you control enemy placement to an

28:41

extent. Okay. And

28:43

then, yeah,

28:46

there's a lot of other stuff in there too. They're

28:48

not getting it yet. Yeah. It's

28:53

hard to be extremely

28:55

excited about a new

28:57

IP, and this is

29:00

one of them. Yeah. Did it

29:02

hard to be excited? No, like, no, like 10 out

29:04

of 10 excited. And

29:07

I have no previous investment whatsoever. No,

29:09

but the presentation is just so good.

29:13

It's just, it's so rare you see

29:15

a game that looks like nothing you've ever

29:17

seen before, you know? And it's

29:19

just, it's exciting that they're trying something. Like,

29:22

if the game is terrible, I'll still be

29:25

like, okay, they tried something

29:27

super cool. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah.

29:31

Nice. So sick. 2025

29:34

is getting out of control. GTA,

29:37

dude, look out. It's

29:39

heating up. Hoover, next up,

29:41

we got a new, really

29:43

solid look at a Metal

29:46

Gear Solid Delta. We sure

29:48

did. Excellent. Yeah. Which

29:50

a lot of people are debating the

29:52

color grading stuff. Whatever, dude. Nothing to

29:54

lose. Everyone relies. Well, because they're like,

29:56

you know, it's not really true

29:58

necessarily to the vibes. original yeah they got

30:00

rid of the kind of like yellow the more yellow

30:03

I mean no Kojima like bottom line

30:05

it's the same people who hated Pacific

30:07

Rim uprising from the jump

30:10

because Guillermo del Toro was not

30:12

the director it's like dude Kojima's

30:14

not involved it won't be as

30:16

good period I'm sorry period like

30:19

there has never been a franchise

30:21

more intimately attached to a creator

30:23

than Hideo Kojima and Metal Gear

30:25

Solid his

30:27

creation one billion

30:29

percent and I know devs

30:32

get disappointed when I say

30:34

shit like that because games are made

30:36

by teams and more than one person

30:39

you know we put so much stock

30:41

into the director and the creator but

30:43

more than the last of us

30:45

more than anything metal gear is

30:47

Kojima so my expectations right

30:50

now will

30:52

never be that high for for you know

30:54

like yeah no we're gonna solve three snake

30:56

eater in my mind is a perfect video

30:58

game you know it's already there it's already

31:00

there like you're not gonna make it better

31:02

you're gonna make it more modern

31:05

you know you're modernizing the game

31:07

you're making it more accessible you're

31:09

making it look visually better will

31:12

the game be better I don't

31:16

know especially especially because you're using

31:19

the same script the already perfect

31:21

script and voice acting you're you

31:23

know I did hear

31:25

that they have had pickups they

31:28

have the old cast doing some

31:30

pickup line but like everything's already

31:32

there because it's a perfect game already

31:34

so like let's come

31:37

at it from that perspective

31:39

you know Huber

31:42

here's a weird thing they added like

31:44

a scarring system I'm obsessed with this

31:46

this actually is better than Kojima players

31:49

this is covered in nice slashes bullet wounds

31:51

and burns by the time the end of

31:54

the credit roll I'm gonna look

31:56

like frickin Deadpool at the end of this game

31:59

let's go Oh, why is it

32:01

called Delta great question? Um, cuz it's

32:03

got three sides. You I guess the

32:05

triangle They didn't want to have a

32:08

three on there without Have

32:11

people run away from it. I don't know It's

32:14

weird like Huber your thing with yeah Pacific

32:18

Rim uprising and chat was talking about like was

32:21

that was the Demon Souls remaster?

32:24

Like hurt because it wasn't from doing it

32:27

and wasn't Miyazaki doing it but like there's

32:29

another layer to it where it's like like

32:33

blue point wasn't specifically

32:36

evil And

32:40

like gear most still had a relationship

32:42

with the people making uprising if I understand

32:44

correctly Yeah, you know and like

32:47

that to me adds just a little bit of

32:49

extra like yeah Even if it is

32:51

all behind the scenes and also like we don't know

32:53

the full story like right Maybe Kojima was a

32:55

nightmare to work with I don't know but like

32:57

I'm not saying he was but we don't know

33:00

Yeah, the full story because no one's talking

33:02

but like reasonably sure that they were not

33:04

comfortable with the amount of money Well,

33:08

and they also reportedly turned off the lights

33:10

on people's office Their

33:13

their litmus for money spending is a

33:15

little crazy the Demon Souls comparison is

33:17

funny cuz like hmm, maybe in a

33:19

way the Demon Soul remake

33:22

is kind of better, but You

33:25

know not disrespecting Demon Souls like

33:27

Metal Gear is about like life

33:30

philosophies like there's so much

33:32

fucking big brain think stuff

33:34

going on in Metal Gear

33:36

and that's like Kojima's

33:41

you know his his Religion

33:45

in a way, you know his philosophy is

33:47

like he's putting all that stuff into the

33:49

game Whereas Demon Souls is like yo

33:51

go kill some frickin Monster like

33:53

there's a big story in Demon Soul sure, but like Though

33:57

like essence of metal

34:00

is from Kojima's heart and soul, you

34:02

know? So... yeah. I

34:06

am... very

34:08

excited about this game, but

34:11

I am definitely keeping it...

34:13

At an arm's length. At

34:15

an arm's length, for sure. I

34:17

am not letting myself get

34:20

insanely hyped, because I think it's

34:22

just going to be a cool

34:24

way to revisit Snake Eater. Hey,

34:27

pause for a second. Surprise Colin Gast

34:29

here. Yeah.

34:32

Haley, say hi. Elise! Hey! I

34:37

don't know what this sounds like on the mic, but... She

34:39

sounds good. I don't know if I can hear them. Oh

34:42

yeah, you can hear them. Hang on,

34:44

hang on, I can fix that. Oh my gosh.

34:48

At least sounds great. We

34:52

have the technology. I'm

34:58

talking. Talking, talking, talking. Hello,

35:01

hello, hello, hello, hello. This is

35:04

hilarious. I'm

35:06

talking. I don't know what's happening. Maybe

35:09

this will work. I'm just going to keep talking

35:11

because... Yeah. To keep talking,

35:13

Resident Evil 2, the original, is my favorite game

35:15

ever made. And the remake of that, I was

35:18

a little nervous, because

35:21

I was like, you're never going to beat the

35:23

Perfection. You're never going to do it. But

35:25

they made it their own. Wait, wait, wait. So,

35:28

I hope Sankeyar does the same. Does that work?

35:32

Yes, I think. I

35:34

don't know, they're not talking because you were talking. Hello. Hello,

35:37

Elise. Hello,

35:40

Elise. Did you hear me? Next

35:43

time. She can't hear us. We

35:45

tried. I'm excited as they are. She's...

35:50

Everyone loves you. Okay, bye. Bye.

35:55

We tried. We

35:57

love Elise. And We love Life is Strange.

36:00

I know, but about. The.

36:03

I think we're the ones. He was

36:05

a great person for me personally because

36:07

it is a game that I deem

36:10

perfect my favorite game and the remake

36:12

did not have Tommy hour or more

36:14

Tommy both involved in any capacity and

36:17

it became. One. Of the

36:19

greatest survival horror games ever made. Ah,

36:21

but it charted it's own course. You

36:23

know it was into own saying like

36:26

the original, reasonable to in the remake

36:28

are so different from one another, primarily

36:30

because of the the camera perspective. I'm.

36:34

So. I hope Snake Eater does some

36:36

similar things were at least it makes

36:38

it makes it it's own thing. but

36:40

the fact that they're you know re

36:42

incorporating the original script. And.

36:44

What looks like the original scenario?

36:48

I think it's just kind of trying to.

36:50

Be. The old one but with you know how

36:52

to up could. On is still it. Has.

36:56

Not created a lot. Of goodwill as

36:58

that. All that is what? really? Ah,

37:00

That. Is the most nervous as

37:02

as flake as the end of

37:05

I'm like oh it looks agreed

37:07

this meeting with greed. whatever the

37:09

scarring, the environment then I'm like

37:11

a table so now he is.

37:13

It's existing than a crazy. Ass.

37:15

Benefit is like Silent Hill to. It's

37:17

like, okay. they're just three making their

37:19

beloved games because everyone else is doing

37:21

and it's profitable. Like why Now do

37:23

this or is lazing it? See where

37:25

they're gonna? licenses? they don't? We can

37:27

now that thousand and twenty hours a

37:29

day, sir? But like, is it something like

37:32

that where it's like oh well, this is

37:34

sitting around. Me the was this will remain

37:36

because we want money Yeah. And you

37:38

know that might not be it. But. That's. Gonna

37:40

been it in a pass? Know

37:43

an army maxes nervous? Yes, Personally,

37:45

you know I'm I'm just I'm

37:47

poise. Cydia. Ah, they

37:49

said there is a more modern cameron

37:52

control system but there's also like the

37:54

style. Would like

37:56

a fourth our wouldn't have money to

37:58

subsistence. Had the. And

38:00

over the shoulder already right. Likes Assistance

38:02

Diversion Motors Audrey Subsistence had the original,

38:05

but then you could also put care

38:07

of high new. So. It's I

38:09

guess it. Is. It the

38:11

original camera, the subsistence camera, and the

38:13

new one. or just be original in

38:15

the new one every removing. The.

38:18

Subs. I mean they're probably consider

38:20

examines the so shuttered oka. yeah

38:22

yeah that's that's a lot of

38:24

complaints about. They are very original

38:27

original versions. yeah. Yeah,

38:29

I think subsistence the Baseline and then

38:31

the new best. On top of that,

38:34

Yeah, ah, I'm. At. The end

38:36

of that he was so solid. Trailer

38:38

and I like the details about the

38:40

the injuries. As very

38:42

promising. But. Like with

38:45

a weird. Koji.

38:47

Menace be fucked with at all like

38:49

are we gonna be able to snipe

38:52

the End. Before. The Boss:

38:54

What? like those little know that contains the

38:56

you know psycho mantis and you know are

38:58

we gonna get that like how are those

39:00

could see my moments gonna be handle in

39:03

this one and other going to play out

39:05

there. Are I would

39:07

guide Damiani here now. Perfect.

39:10

Timing for perfect arcs. The

39:12

hook for her her her

39:14

from nice when blood ah

39:16

we been on pins and

39:18

needles for this is a

39:21

lotta messy reports and contractors

39:23

wagon okay stop. yeah true.

39:25

but after a recent revelations

39:27

about certain Lakers stop listening

39:29

The damn Lakers a man

39:31

cry all and of they

39:33

ever there is a different

39:35

area at all or at

39:38

or below zero day. Is

39:40

that is a deal. An associate like

39:42

the most famous ones like Esa so

39:44

annoying get like they are wrong eight

39:47

and ago and say saying clicked say

39:49

outlay. I like stay the a scam

39:51

artist at. The. Real

39:53

insiders don't say shit.

39:55

Yeah, I agree. I

39:58

agree. In any

40:00

case we had to

40:02

show it was a Jones level rant straight

40:05

up straight up gameplay here. Yeah, yeah How

40:09

great yeah, Joanna dark first

40:11

person yo shout out to Ben

40:14

Hanson For giving me the deep

40:16

dive on the lore about how

40:20

Joanna is maybe working for

40:22

like the rival organization because

40:24

in the original game The

40:28

carrot Carrington she's on Carrington side in the original

40:30

game and now we're trying to stop the Carrington

40:32

attack Yeah, it was like

40:34

Ben Hanson min max. Yeah, that's a deep

40:36

dive right there But he's well done you

40:38

seem to be like trying to stop Carrington

40:41

the individual specifically Yeah, I think this might

40:43

be like origin story stuff. Oh, yeah, this

40:45

is how she got in with them Are

40:47

we are we rebooting slash right? Yeah, I

40:49

mean yeah, yeah, well, I thought this is

40:51

gonna be like ghost protocol I

40:59

Mean I could be wrong, but I get yeah,

41:01

I get more origin story vibes here sure Yeah,

41:06

yeah, I think all's fair game

41:09

with this Yeah, I mean

41:11

my my number one thing is

41:13

just how incredible this looked and

41:15

how immersive simi it looked Yeah,

41:17

that's my absolute. Yep favorite direction

41:19

to take this game Like

41:22

you couldn't have you couldn't have done it better Yeah,

41:25

actually and to

41:27

get this good of a look After

41:30

all the trouble we've heard blood

41:33

is just oh so encouraging now

41:38

Yeah, it was just a really awesome way

41:41

to like Reintroduce the game.

41:43

It's like no. This is what we've been working on.

41:45

This is our our proof

41:47

of not even proof of concept. This is our like Blueprint

41:51

for what this is gonna be like a game.

41:53

Yeah. Yeah, you could reintroduce I felt like you

41:55

know we had a trailer, but like I think

41:57

this was it. This is like hey This

42:00

is perfect art and you're like to me

42:02

it was like this is the introduction Yeah,

42:04

and they set the tone perfectly because as

42:06

you said it looks you know

42:08

has it's very simmy So it's like that

42:11

I think is Setting

42:13

the tone going forward For

42:15

whatever else they show but I think they

42:17

kept it very basic Obviously I got a

42:19

lot of questions about and like I need

42:21

answers still to questions I have that this

42:23

trailer I don't think was ever gonna answer

42:25

those But I

42:27

think this was a very good first step

42:30

because You had

42:32

like saying nothing this would have fueled the

42:34

fire of this game's not happening or the

42:36

games in trouble This like looks anything

42:38

but that like it absolutely looks like this

42:40

game is on track to be something so

42:43

That's like more Pulse

42:46

more of a pulse on this series that it's

42:48

had like in quite a while. I would say

42:50

yeah like there's actually Something a

42:52

perfect arc related that we can latch on

42:54

to yeah Hopeful

42:57

is the key word here and excited

43:00

about for sure. Yes Do we know

43:02

if multiplayer is confirmed or unconfirmed or

43:05

what's going on there? There's a single

43:07

player experience Okay with a set of

43:09

missions But what choices offered and how

43:11

you complete those mission immersive sim leaning

43:14

in perfect over a like golden eye

43:16

You know you know like yeah because it's

43:18

Oh Compared to Golden Eye

43:20

and perfect dark itself 64

43:23

days because when you would raise the

43:25

difficulty in Golden Eye you would have

43:27

additional objective that you

43:29

needed to do and

43:31

like I feel like that's almost like the

43:34

the progenitor of not

43:36

necessarily immersive sim but like It

43:39

reminds me of the concept. It's like

43:42

oh now. I need to do these

43:44

other extra things in this space Yeah,

43:48

and I think this is just you

43:50

know taking that concept into into the

43:52

modern era Yeah, yeah,

43:54

also the like Mirrors

43:57

edge style movement and stuff that

43:59

was Surprise yeah, I do

44:02

such a surprise like it

44:06

No, sorry, sorry, Debbie. Oh, I like

44:08

it didn't even need that like I

44:11

think it was what they show was good enough But

44:13

like the fact that they also are going for that

44:16

level of like traversal and

44:19

adding in like melee combat and Like

44:21

gun powder dude. She like needs that guy

44:24

down and I'm like shoot the other guys.

44:26

Yeah Honestly because we don't

44:28

have mirrors edge anymore and the fact that

44:30

mirrors edge Never really did melee

44:32

combat very well in my opinion I agree I

44:35

agree This is the chance to

44:37

maybe have that kind of blend of that

44:39

and do it well because call dude I

44:41

don't know like really it would even if

44:43

we don't get another mirrors edge if that

44:45

spirit lives on in this game as well

44:47

You're already drawing that crowd over because they're

44:50

like Oh are there gonna be like ways

44:52

to tackle levels where it's all just like

44:54

running and platforming and like, you know Like

44:56

maybe just a fluid motion type run like

44:58

who knows like they really could do something

45:01

really awesome with that on it Yeah, heck yeah Yeah,

45:04

would you guys be bummed if there was

45:06

no multiplayer because no one is I bring

45:08

it up is no multiplayer was such An

45:12

integral part of the original DNA. I

45:14

mean it was more than

45:16

half the game in my opinion You're

45:18

right But I think times have moved

45:20

on and sure we know nowadays that

45:22

great multiplayer games and great multiplayer modes

45:24

Like it's a dedicated thing and I

45:27

think yeah different start by Reestablishing

45:29

this series because of it they go

45:31

for that other prong attack of like

45:33

multiplayer I just think expectations

45:35

are gonna go through the roof and I don't

45:38

know if they Can

45:40

have that divided focus right now? I think

45:42

they call given the stakes They

45:44

should probably stick to nailing this

45:47

new concept I do 100% in this

45:49

day and age if your multiplayer isn't

45:51

gonna compete then it's a waste of

45:53

time and money Yeah,

45:55

you know you already have especially in

45:58

Like if you have game paths. Woke.

46:00

To. Com Recall. Duty and played really

46:03

early after so many other multi

46:05

my i'm gonna get for not

46:07

free but yeah seems so so

46:09

Hopefully like Usa nami only they

46:11

just go. All. In on

46:13

this is too much as on the

46:16

line and an image yes as get

46:18

it can be like hey you know

46:20

Twenty Twenty seven Perfect Dog Multiplayer like

46:23

free to play or and spin off

46:25

game or whatever the heck? Yeah! I

46:27

think they could come up with some

46:30

creative like online components to like It

46:32

acts like they could just start simple

46:34

and do pretty on missions and sharing

46:37

as other people that you don't have

46:39

to actually be multiplayer multiplayer competitive in

46:41

that like it's. Pdp nature. more

46:43

of that I'm sorry this levels very

46:45

popular Hooting Subway of the fastest or

46:47

seat different you know ways that people

46:50

three like Salazar vols I like that

46:52

someone doesn't like the mirror's edge thing

46:54

I think like that might not translate

46:56

so well into maybe multiplayer with this

46:58

like game. By. Letting

47:00

people get fried of because it did hit

47:02

me and do this I feel like submit

47:05

didn't write him into disarray but you sure

47:07

levels are no. Yours is

47:09

yeah, Your

47:11

own our interests? Yeah, yeah exactly. So

47:13

like this: creating like your own missions

47:15

and doing stuff like this. I think

47:17

this is another three to having a

47:19

hard as gay as harmless is it?

47:22

Remind me. Of. The. Hitman like. That.

47:24

What It's just have to do the same. Levels again but

47:26

this time you have to do. You

47:28

do without killing anybody. Or

47:31

you know, whenever a challenge

47:33

to the says I'll stop.

47:35

Carrington. Whatever here. So how

47:37

much can when anything nowadays is physically

47:39

said? then like build your objective and

47:41

it's like it's up to you to

47:43

determine what to do it yet. So.

47:46

Ah, They also so they confirmed or the

47:48

you are an aging for data dime. Didn't.

47:51

See yeah, financing? and

47:54

ah this is pyro

47:56

ah so clara oh

47:58

there was Yeah, yeah, yeah,

48:01

so this is a this is a near

48:03

future version of Cairo. So there's this Disaster

48:07

that's happened called the cascade Oh

48:10

Basically huge regions of the cascade

48:12

effect have become uninhabitable and

48:16

This hyper corporation known as

48:18

core mantis steps in to create a

48:20

solution known as Jen Network And

48:23

it's poison to Cairo restoring ecological balance

48:26

and creating a freshly walled city insulated

48:29

from the hostile environment outside So

48:32

that's a lot Lots

48:36

of crazy technology. Yeah And

48:39

we saw like the voice recorder gadget, you

48:41

know to impersonate that guy and yeah They

48:43

didn't really they tough it was there was

48:45

like some far side tech going on a

48:48

little there, too She had like

48:50

a vision thing going. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like how

48:52

does that play? Cuz

48:54

the far side such a legendary weapon. It's this alien

48:56

weapon where you can see through walls but

48:58

then she was just like that was like the

49:01

best tease because yeah, I We

49:04

got to see some crazy weapon Craziest

49:06

weapons we got to see crazy weapons

49:08

and we got to see those like

49:10

futuristic looking levels or just crazy Like

49:13

settings. I also the aliens are

49:15

like a little less goofy and

49:17

more like hardcore X files It's

49:19

like fire in the sky. I

49:22

want to be disturbed Yeah,

49:29

like bulbous glowing things

49:31

and tentacles and yeah Yeah,

49:34

but yeah, yeah something that a perfect dark in

49:36

the first day of sex Kind

49:38

of share is that like oh what you get into

49:40

aliens Yeah,

49:49

I never played zero is there anything from

49:51

zero that you want to see carried over

49:53

whether it's I

49:56

played zero literally at launch. I cannot pull any

49:58

memory. That's the only thing like yeah I

50:00

don't know yeah, I don't remember

50:02

that It

50:05

was like yeah zero was not a game that I

50:07

have to go back There's

50:14

not a lot to say about this, but we saw a sick

50:16

crazy freakin Diablo 4 opening

50:19

cinematic for the vessel of hatred oh Yeah,

50:22

that was disturbing so excited Oh,

50:25

that was this so excited Yeah,

50:28

like the vent horizon looked like a

50:30

freaking shot from a vent horizon at

50:32

the end totally dude or a hellraiser

50:36

I did that too. Yes. Yeah, um

50:38

my My cell

50:40

and Blizzard should pay me royalties

50:42

for my cell here Is that

50:44

actually literally no matter what that

50:46

when this game comes out this

50:48

expansion? It will be the

50:50

best possible time to hop into Diablo 4

50:54

It has been cooking we all

50:56

know the history of Live

50:58

service games and especially Diablo

51:00

3 and now with Diablo 4.

51:02

It's the same thing It's just getting better and

51:05

better more refined When

51:08

this thing comes out Diablo 4 is gonna

51:11

be cooking because it already is

51:13

right now this current season right now Diablo

51:15

is cooking so

51:19

Hopes are very high for this expansion. I

51:21

think it's gonna be a great time whether

51:23

you Have not played

51:25

Diablo 4 at all Or

51:27

you just played the main game and and

51:29

then got off like so many

51:31

people did This is a great

51:34

time to hop in or to re-hop in Why

51:37

say it's for new players to hop

51:39

in like what it what every all

51:41

the all the rough edges Damiani have

51:43

been sanded out all the loot to

51:46

all the skit There's just all the

51:48

skills the balancing the quality of life

51:50

like there. We go everything has been

51:53

Just sanded down to

51:55

okay to make the

51:57

overall user experience better

52:00

I guess I swear I don't work at No,

52:02

no, no, that's right. I also want to see

52:05

yeah quality of life. Yeah. I want to hear

52:07

that Yeah, like even early on I forget it

52:09

cuz it's been so long now It was like

52:11

a year ago But I remember like one of

52:13

the first patches like a couple months in was

52:15

about like the horse to remember that

52:17

they made A big deal about like yeah something

52:19

with the whole like traversing They do it made

52:21

it so much easier and then now of course

52:23

they keep piping up Loot reborn

52:26

because they've completely changed how loot works

52:28

so Yeah,

52:30

this game is is really getting better

52:32

and better and I think that there'll

52:34

be a huge moment Plus

52:37

I really enjoyed the story. Yeah, you weren't you were

52:39

going all in on this I don't I don't I

52:41

barely remember the story I let and you're like, oh,

52:43

this is this this is this I was like What

52:45

I mean without without Like

52:48

getting into specifics this picks up Looks

52:51

like pretty much exactly right after

52:53

the end of this main story. Mm-hmm And this

52:55

is I mean what I had assumed would be the Expansion,

52:58

you know, it's like her and the canoe going to

53:00

the new to the area but like

53:03

Yeah, it looks sick and the story

53:05

is super cool. Mm-hmm and Hell

53:09

yeah, you're hopping in right day one. Oh,

53:12

I mean, I'm definitely playing it. Yeah I'm

53:16

ready when they send me the code, baby I

53:20

reinstalled us unites ago after this night. I was like, I'm

53:22

a hoe of a back end no matter what I'm going

53:24

I'm ready work. You were influenced. Yeah, I got influenced hard

53:27

big time Next

53:31

up we got fable Yeah,

53:33

it's an interesting trailer where

53:35

they're like kind of narrating over You

53:38

know a little bit of gameplay here and all that

53:41

And also kind of giving you a like a good

53:43

sense of like the attitude for the

53:45

game So you've got this guy Humphrey who

53:47

is like Humphrey Bogart considers

53:49

himself Albion's greatest hero But

53:52

he's retired now and he's like going on and on

53:54

about all this stuff And

53:56

what's what's interesting is the way it's cut

54:00

is it leads you to think that he's

54:02

talking about your character, the main character, or

54:04

whatever. Yeah. Or at least the character that

54:07

they've shown, who is... Because you'll probably

54:09

create your own character, I would guess. Yeah. You

54:11

probably don't even play with this person. Yeah. Uh,

54:14

but by the end, it

54:17

actually seems like they're talking about

54:19

somebody else. Because they like,

54:21

kind of like step into the frame. They're just

54:23

like a little bit of edge on the camera,

54:25

you know, when she comes... After she comes to

54:27

get him, he's like, hey, you know,

54:30

she's here or whatever. I thought she was

54:32

talking about herself. No, there is...

54:34

That was my reason. Yeah, when I rewatched it, it was

54:36

like, oh, okay. Like, no, there's a... It

54:38

seems like he's talking about her

54:41

while he's like... Well, they're basically just setting

54:43

up the world. But then at the end,

54:45

it seems like, no, actually, he's... And

54:48

I'm just interpreting this, but I think he's

54:50

actually talking about a completely different character. Who's

54:52

probably like the villain. Dude,

54:55

video games look so good. Holy

54:58

shit. Yeah.

55:01

My read was the same as Gabby's. Yeah,

55:03

I mean, that was my read the first time around. It was

55:05

the second watch, and I was like, oh. Oh. Yeah,

55:08

wait a minute. This isn't what I thought it was. But

55:13

yeah, like every single shot is just

55:16

crazy. Yeah, it was just enough for

55:18

me to not be annoyed, this trailer.

55:20

Yeah. Yeah, because

55:22

it's like, okay, we see some in-game stuff. Awesome.

55:25

But like, still

55:28

need a little bit more. Shaky cam stuff,

55:30

too. You're going for a little

55:32

bit of those Office vibes. Yeah, there is it. Yeah.

55:36

Oh, yeah. Everything is basically like a talking

55:38

head from the Office. Which,

55:42

I thought it was funny. I thought

55:44

his bits were funny, but I also

55:46

am like, what are we... What world

55:48

are we existing in here? Yeah.

55:53

Yeah, for sure. But

55:55

yeah, so if you see here, like there's about there,

55:57

when she comes to get them, then

56:00

the next shot is like, I

56:03

guess it's after the title? Yeah. But

56:06

there's somebody else here. Yo,

56:08

Metal Gear Solid without Kojima, big

56:10

deal. Fable without Peter Molyneux, who

56:12

cares? Oh,

56:14

this thing. Who cares? Yeah, I'm

56:17

fine with that. Yeah, exactly. Who's

56:19

clapping for Peter? Wait, who's clapping?

56:21

Exactly, yeah. Who's asking for it?

56:23

Who wants it? I don't know.

56:25

I don't think anyone's anybody. Who

56:27

is? I don't think anyone's anybody.

56:30

People want E3 to come back, right? Yeah.

56:32

I'm kidding. So this

56:34

show had a lot of big,

56:36

crazy AAA games. And then we

56:39

also have Winter Burrow. Winter

56:42

Burrow. This game looks great

56:45

to little mouse games. Oh,

56:47

yeah. Mouse games. And

56:49

Red Wall. Yeah, exactly. Hell,

56:51

yeah. But it also looks

56:53

really sharp. You guys see that new Paddington

56:55

trailer, Isla? No. Paddington goes

56:58

to Paris or something? Oh, shit. Different

57:01

writer director, though. I thought it

57:03

was like South America. Or some country. He's

57:06

going somewhere. This

57:09

looks good, blood. Yeah, you're on a

57:11

trail of like your missing ants or

57:13

something and trying to work

57:15

your way through, going on this little adventure.

57:17

Bible goes west. Bible goes west.

57:20

Yeah. Where's the Bible

57:22

video game? Yeah. Mouse

57:24

detective. Restore

57:26

your childhood home and go out there and

57:28

do crafting. I love the knitting. It's

57:31

like on the mouse knitting there in front

57:33

of the fire. So

57:35

is it a survival game? A

57:38

little bit. I thought I'd take it more than that. But I don't have

57:40

it right now. Let me see. Survival

57:46

games trailers always- Oh, you do woodland survival

57:48

games. Yeah, here we go. A city mouse

57:50

returning home to fix up their childhood. Survival

57:53

games are the most hilarious trailers because

57:55

they're showing all the action bits. And

57:58

it's like, hmm. There's

58:00

gonna be five hours where you're

58:02

just like picking grass and shopping

58:04

trees like Yeah,

58:09

not to be not to be pessimistic, but

58:11

no probably the big gameplay loop

58:14

is gathering. Yep. Yeah. Yeah

58:18

so We'll see

58:20

how that one shakes out cuz just to

58:22

be fair some survival games try to you

58:25

know reduce that amount of Down

58:27

time right, you know, I think of cult

58:30

of the lame For

58:32

example is kind of like a little more hybrid,

58:34

you know a little more action, right? Yeah

58:38

What is about this one though Huber make a ten

58:40

out of ten with a bow Did

58:43

you ever play our full skin? No. Oh that

58:46

game is so so shit. I need to done

58:48

Yeah, this game sits at the same table as

58:50

south of midnight and life is strange. I agree

58:52

I agree with you and for a brain to

58:54

IP to do that together. Yep. Yep I

58:58

mean I I if it's similar

59:00

to artful escape it

59:03

my read on this is that it's going to be

59:05

a more linear narrative game where

59:08

like the stuff that looks like gameplay

59:10

is like a Minimally

59:13

interactive kind of set piece.

59:16

Yeah, which you know is not

59:18

a bad thing I'm not trying to read this thing into

59:20

the ground But I'm just saying like that's

59:22

probably more what it is. But who know that's

59:24

just based on our post game for sure You

59:28

know tonight in the woods I

59:34

See kissing I'm in and route to their

59:37

This actually does seem like it has

59:39

some similarities lost records even from the

59:41

description lost records mixtape Life is strange

59:43

the triple threat and route to their

59:45

final party together Perfectly

59:48

curated playlist draws them into

59:50

dreamlike reenactments at the pivotal

59:52

moments that shaped them So

59:55

there that's it. It's the music

59:57

is taking them back to Okay,

1:00:00

nothing gets me more hyped than

1:00:02

like Insane

1:00:05

coming-of-age life event. Yes straight up.

1:00:07

That's what this entire game is

1:00:10

I love it. It's called mixtape

1:00:12

like I wonder if you played in you

1:00:15

1:01:49

little snippet of Indiana Jones

1:01:52

in this showcase Mm-hmm a little

1:01:55

bit gameplay but more like a

1:01:57

character scene. Yeah, what do you think

1:01:59

1:02:35

in rural, Wisconsin, but yes the

1:02:38

big city of This

1:02:43

Looks incredible, but it didn't move the needle because I'm

1:02:46

already hyped. You know what I mean? It's

1:02:48

already coming into the

1:02:51

presentation with higher expectations

1:02:54

Because of pedigree because of

1:02:56

IP because of budget because

1:02:59

of all those things where my

1:03:02

expectations are already sky-high

1:03:04

and It

1:03:06

maintained those expectations Machine

1:03:09

games is absolutely one of the best in the biz

1:03:12

And this trailer just showed a little bit more

1:03:15

of a game that I am extremely excited about What

1:03:18

do you think of the uncharted effect here? It's

1:03:21

so funny because I'm sorry. It's so hilarious It's

1:03:24

so hilarious because uncharted Ripped

1:03:27

off Indiana Jones and now Indiana

1:03:29

Jones is ripping off uncharted Perfect

1:03:32

thing Josh share who's a honey dog.

1:03:34

Yeah, he had posted it like he's

1:03:36

like, huh And

1:03:40

I replied yeah the great circle. Yeah I've

1:03:43

literally just finished one the other night and because

1:03:45

it's like dude the you vote. It's like So

1:03:51

very funny, but in this the you boat

1:03:53

is not that old yeah and in that

1:03:55

chart Same you vote same you Same

1:04:00

one no universe. Yeah,

1:04:02

this is actually in the Himalayas

1:04:14

For me I was in one of them right it was at 43 no Borneo

1:04:18

no Borneo is in one of them Rainforest

1:04:21

mark my word and warning. Oh dude

1:04:23

Borneo hook me up. Ask our Borneo

1:04:26

It was not in hook

1:04:28

me up. Check you know Borneo. I think I might know

1:04:30

what you're talking about All

1:04:34

right, uh that aside Loved

1:04:38

this little sub villain Love

1:04:42

this guy's guys a son of a bitch

1:04:44

dude. I'm really the third chapter of among

1:04:46

thieves Thank you very much,

1:04:48

Gabby. Oh Charted to

1:04:51

yes, that's the one I remember Borneo

1:04:53

baby newborn you To

1:05:01

and for no not even close how

1:05:03

about Indiana Jones is gonna be the

1:05:05

best uncharted Maybe maybe

1:05:07

not your machine games though seriously 10 out of

1:05:09

10 This

1:05:12

is such one of their villains it's like

1:05:15

it is so they're always so Over

1:05:19

the top, you know machine

1:05:21

games is over the top and

1:05:24

To some degree Indiana Jones is over the top

1:05:26

as well So I just

1:05:29

think it's such an it not only

1:05:31

is any of Jones over the top Indiana Jones

1:05:33

loves to fucking kill Nazis and so does machine

1:05:35

games So this is

1:05:38

this is like the actual

1:05:40

match made in heaven this

1:05:42

entire Situation this entire

1:05:45

game this could be a Wolfenstein

1:05:47

game the only difference is it's

1:05:51

PG-13 instead of rated R is

1:05:53

the only difference right the only difference I

1:05:56

will say I felt some of the comedic

1:05:58

timing for the part where like The

1:06:00

crate fell past them. Because

1:06:02

it's a game engine, it's not like, it

1:06:04

was like slightly off. Like if it was a

1:06:07

movie editing, you would have had tighter editing. It felt

1:06:09

like they let things play out a little too long.

1:06:13

So it like clearly broke

1:06:15

my immersion. And like, I'm pretty good at

1:06:17

staying immersed in stuff. Like I'll let a

1:06:19

lot of things fly. Like I don't usually

1:06:21

do that. You know, don't usually get taken

1:06:24

out so easily. But that was like, because

1:06:26

I just love Indiana Jones and you know,

1:06:28

really am used to like its style. I

1:06:30

was like, oof, that's, you're now, you're making me very

1:06:33

aware that this is just a game. And you know,

1:06:35

you took me and like, it's a game of five.

1:06:37

And it was like, and the moment

1:06:39

was like a little bit off too. But I

1:06:41

still thought like, you know, everything else looked pretty

1:06:44

good and promising. So yeah. And

1:06:46

I'll just say like, you know, maybe it's just like the

1:06:48

early version. They still tweaking it. You know,

1:06:50

that timing could easily be fixed by the,

1:06:52

you know, when the final game comes out.

1:06:54

Totally. And it feels way more stealthy, way

1:06:57

more melee focused. Like Wolfenstein

1:07:00

is a guns blazing.

1:07:03

You know, there are moments in Wolfenstein, of course,

1:07:05

where you are investigating and going

1:07:08

through a little slowly, but

1:07:10

it is a fast paced shooter.

1:07:12

Whereas everything we've seen from Indiana

1:07:14

Jones is like him kind of

1:07:16

sneaking around or him fighting one or

1:07:18

two people at a time. And you

1:07:21

know, heavy melee focus. So that's, that's

1:07:23

cool. Yeah. That'll

1:07:25

be different than Wolfenstein. What's

1:07:29

got your guns though, is that Stalker 2,

1:07:32

Huber. We didn't

1:07:34

get a chance to play this at the show floor. Metro,

1:07:36

but hardcore. Metro,

1:07:39

hardcore. I'm trying to say right now. No, I

1:07:41

mean, dude. No, no,

1:07:44

no, no, no, no, no, no. I promise, I promise. Stalker

1:07:46

is way more simmy than

1:07:49

Metro. So Metro is, Metro is a

1:07:51

little more easy going with

1:07:54

like its item management

1:07:57

and direction versus Stalker.

1:08:00

So not hardcore in tone and content,

1:08:02

but hardcore in like demands on the

1:08:04

player. Thank you. Yeah, but

1:08:06

Stalker is pretty hardcore. It is. It

1:08:09

is. But Stalker is even more so. Okay. Yeah.

1:08:13

Okay. So maybe more hardcore. Yeah.

1:08:16

Yeah. Okay. I think they

1:08:18

referenced this ball lightning. It is very strange. Or

1:08:22

maybe they're just so commonplace that they're just

1:08:24

like, yeah, some rolling ball lights. Some

1:08:27

sentient ball lightning. Yeah. No big

1:08:29

deal. What are you thinking here? What are

1:08:31

you? I think it's a play, but I

1:08:33

just kept walking by it as she had

1:08:35

wanting to play it. I kept looking at

1:08:37

it longingly. Or like, let me

1:08:40

play Stalker. Um, I

1:08:43

mean, I'm obsessed

1:08:46

with any

1:08:48

kind of super high budget

1:08:50

or relatively high budget thing

1:08:53

being hardcore. It's why I like live the last of us

1:08:55

so much. You know what I mean? Dude,

1:08:57

the last of us is fucking hardcore.

1:08:59

Like yeah, sure. It's one of the

1:09:02

most mainstream properties in the biz and

1:09:04

it's like super blockbuster free, but

1:09:06

also it's a really

1:09:08

hardcore game. Uh,

1:09:11

so I love not anywhere close to

1:09:13

Metro though. You

1:09:16

keep on using this word hardcore. Yeah.

1:09:20

Whether it's subject matter or

1:09:22

gameplay either way. Um,

1:09:25

I think both can be really challenging.

1:09:28

Like, like last of us

1:09:30

is a challenging narrative. I think Stalker

1:09:32

is a not only a challenging narrative,

1:09:34

but challenging gameplay. You know, you are

1:09:37

looking out for your radiation levels

1:09:39

and your, you know,

1:09:41

your inventory and surviving

1:09:43

in this world is

1:09:45

so hard minute to minute.

1:09:49

You know, you don't, you're not just like bum

1:09:52

rushing through with unlimited ammo and unlimited

1:09:54

lives and checkpoints. It's like, no, this

1:09:56

game is like, yo, settle in, relax.

1:10:00

slower pace and

1:10:02

pay the hell attention to what you have

1:10:04

in your inventory and how you use it.

1:10:07

Yeah. So I'm ready to be

1:10:09

fully immersed in

1:10:11

Stalker 2 Heart of Chernobyl coming

1:10:13

to Xbox on September 5th, 2024.

1:10:16

I'm also

1:10:19

fascinated by Chernobyl. So

1:10:21

and who is it? Greatest show ever made?

1:10:23

Who isn't fascinated by Chernobyl? Oh yeah. Like

1:10:26

literally the greatest show of all time.

1:10:28

Sorry Breaking Bad. Like everything. It's literally

1:10:30

the top. It's number

1:10:32

one. It's truly number one. But I don't think there's

1:10:34

ever been a better limited series. I don't remember. Are

1:10:36

they speaking Ukrainian in

1:10:39

the trail? They were speaking Ukrainian and they weren't

1:10:41

speaking Ukrainian. I believe so but I

1:10:43

don't know the difference well enough to

1:10:45

tell you. Between English and Ukrainian? No.

1:10:48

Like whether it's Ukrainian or Russian. Or Russian. Oh but

1:10:50

isn't the studio in Ukraine? Yeah they're in Ukraine. Yeah

1:10:53

that's my assumption. Yeah yeah. But

1:10:56

I can't like say for a fact. Yeah. I have

1:10:58

no idea. I

1:11:00

just couldn't remember if they were speaking English

1:11:02

or they were speaking Ukrainian. No they were

1:11:04

definitely not. Okay. That says yes. Sweet. Yeah

1:11:07

I played Metro. I played Metro in

1:11:09

Russian and that was essential. Yeah. For

1:11:11

my immersion. Mm-hmm. For sure. Because

1:11:13

you really you know it's like you're inhabiting

1:11:16

that character in that world. It's like

1:11:18

I wanted the full effect.

1:11:22

So sick. We got

1:11:24

a quick little hardware

1:11:26

update announcement. Just a

1:11:28

little revisions. Little tweaks here and

1:11:31

there. So there's gonna be

1:11:40

things and with the paint there.

1:11:42

Yeah. They flicked a paintbrush at

1:11:44

it. They

1:11:47

look reflective though at least. There's

1:11:49

gonna be all digital Series

1:11:51

X content. Don't do that. With no. If I

1:11:54

have a game on a

1:11:56

disc. Yeah. You won't be able to use it. What if

1:11:58

I want to let you borrow a game. Well,

1:12:01

especially when you go backwards to backwards

1:12:03

compatibility going back to original xbox. Yeah

1:12:06

Yeah, you probably want to just

1:12:08

drive. I've got discs chat Oh,

1:12:10

1:12:13

anymore. Yeah Keep

1:12:15

keep telling daddy. I'm like, yeah, I got some

1:12:18

I know I do regret not getting the

1:12:20

disk ride sales people are gonna have houses

1:12:24

But it's also so much more expensive.

1:12:26

I Always say and my

1:12:28

dad always taught me if you're spending five Just

1:12:32

spend six. Okay for the better one.

1:12:34

Yeah, no, but you're already spending five

1:12:36

hundred But they didn't say anything like

1:12:38

price difference. No, no, no, we're talking

1:12:40

about PlayStation Never

1:12:42

under buy on a thing you're gonna have

1:12:45

for ten years, especially if it's only like

1:12:47

a little more I

1:12:51

usually go for the You

1:12:54

know more bigger you guys have

1:12:56

to embrace your every-minute Zen, you

1:12:58

know living the ethereal

1:13:00

now physical

1:13:02

is dead Physical

1:13:05

is mostly dead but at the

1:13:07

same time I get really excited

1:13:09

when I can borrow

1:13:12

or give someone a game to borrow like

1:13:14

I love them I would have to read

1:13:16

by Resident Evil. I think I did Start

1:13:19

doing it digitally. I have like give them a license

1:13:21

for the game for like 24 48 hours I'm

1:13:25

gonna happen dummy. Oh, it will happen someday for

1:13:27

letting somebody borrow a digital game No, but it'll

1:13:29

be like a fee you have to pay like

1:13:31

two bucks or something like it'll

1:13:33

be transaction fee Yes, there'll

1:13:35

be some kind of like service fee. Yes.

1:13:37

Yeah Trauma because

1:13:40

I ps4 had a glitch Yeah,

1:13:42

same minded. Yeah, it just would not stop

1:13:45

beeping. Yeah, even when I fully unplugged

1:13:48

It would when it was not plugged

1:13:50

into the wall and should I have electricity going

1:13:53

to it? It would beep like

1:13:55

so be loud. Come on, it'll be dead,

1:13:57

you know It was so long annoying

1:14:01

so that's why I didn't get a distraction.

1:14:03

So yeah, so there's a Series X special

1:14:05

edition with the two terabyte SSC the

1:14:08

all-digital Series X which is white

1:14:10

with the one terabyte SSD and

1:14:13

then an all-digital Series S

1:14:17

with a one terabyte SSD as well and

1:14:20

then Sarah just like slips this

1:14:22

in there. Serenite? No

1:14:24

they're a bond. Oh, Seren bond. We're

1:14:27

hard at work on the next generation.

1:14:29

Yeah. That

1:14:31

was so weird. She was shooting across the bow to Nintendo.

1:14:38

Yeah, she was shooting across the bow

1:14:40

to Nintendo. That's a warning shot. That's

1:14:42

right. Actually all this is because Switch

1:14:44

2 is on the right. Yep, absolutely.

1:14:46

They don't believe Nintendo when they say

1:14:48

it's not being talked about on the

1:14:50

June Direct. They're like, we're not taking

1:14:52

that chance. We're calling your

1:14:54

bluff Nintendo. How

1:14:57

you gonna know you can beat my PlayStation

1:14:59

5 Pro or Xbox Series X Digital if

1:15:01

you don't pick up your card? Maverick.

1:15:09

And then we got the one more thing.

1:15:11

The one more thing. Before

1:15:13

Call of Duty, years of war.

1:15:15

Yo, Xbox Psychos, I'm

1:15:18

never gonna be as hyped

1:15:20

for a prequel. Sorry. Relax.

1:15:22

I don't like this. Relax.

1:15:25

If you wanna have a good laugh, check

1:15:27

out the comments. Yeah. On our years of

1:15:30

war reaction. Like God of... All

1:15:32

the years of war chuds who think

1:15:34

we did. Like G.O.W. will always be

1:15:36

God of War. Sorry. And like when

1:15:38

God of War Ascension came out

1:15:40

and was announced, it was like, oh it's prequel, cool, whatever.

1:15:43

I fucking love God of War. Exactly.

1:15:46

Just like Gears of War chuds. We also

1:15:48

had, yeah, that's the thing. We already had

1:15:50

a Gears of War prequel. Yeah, it's okay.

1:15:52

Cool. Well yeah, during the thing, like

1:15:54

a lot of it for me was just sort of

1:15:56

confusion. Like, so like are we

1:15:58

seeing a flashback? What's happening here,

1:16:01

right? Yep. Also, it's just

1:16:03

a CGI cut. It's a C. We haven't seen

1:16:05

the game Well, it's not CGI in

1:16:07

game 5, but it's just a cutscene. Yep.

1:16:09

Yeah, okay I'm

1:16:12

happy you like Gears of War. I am

1:16:14

so happy for you That

1:16:16

you're getting this game is that's so

1:16:18

exciting to have a new game But

1:16:21

this is not much. It's also funny cuz

1:16:23

it's like 5 was not that

1:16:25

long ago It's not like oh my god

1:16:28

Gears of War has been gone for so

1:16:30

long. Yeah, it has been it's been like

1:16:32

five years. Yeah, okay Yeah, Shenmue talk to

1:16:34

me later Redhead

1:16:42

what are you talking about? It's just

1:16:44

like years. It was just here. There's

1:16:46

also like crazy controversy about five so

1:16:50

I you know people

1:16:52

are talking about how They

1:16:55

kind of don't know what to feel about it going back

1:16:57

in time. Yeah, they're resolving the end of five Like

1:17:02

what do we even do? Yeah, what number is

1:17:04

this six? No, this isn't six. This is

1:17:06

no Six one. No,

1:17:08

there's a lot of other There's

1:17:11

one two, three four five in judgment.

1:17:13

So yeah, technically this would be like

1:17:15

this seven one Yours

1:17:19

pop we're gonna forget your pop. We're

1:17:21

not gonna worry about your tactic. Yeah

1:17:24

tactics Animas. Yeah, but

1:17:28

I'm of I think I will always say like, you

1:17:30

know how much I love Resident Evil 5 I Think

1:17:33

Gears of War as a whole

1:17:35

is the absolute

1:17:38

best Co-op shooter of

1:17:40

all time. Yeah. No matter What

1:17:44

anyone says I don't think there's

1:17:46

ever been a better franchise that

1:17:48

has better co-op Then

1:17:51

Gears of War straight up. It's my absolute

1:17:53

favorite co-op game ever made I love that

1:17:55

three added like four player like

1:17:58

multiple games other

1:18:00

people dude it's out of control love

1:18:03

co-op in gears the fact that four

1:18:05

or five was it where you could be like

1:18:07

the robot helper to so sick

1:18:11

yeah and and like just

1:18:14

like a lot of the set pieces and stuff

1:18:16

that they've had it's just you know like I

1:18:18

think it doesn't get enough you

1:18:21

know remembrance or recognition for like some of

1:18:23

the crazy stuff that they pulled off like

1:18:25

visually in the sense of scale and everything

1:18:28

yeah and by the same

1:18:30

time it's like a lot of people

1:18:32

are upset like oh you didn't recognize

1:18:34

Dom and I'm like you were like

1:18:36

why didn't I never I never look

1:18:38

like no I never cared about that

1:18:40

story I love in my head I

1:18:44

thought what is that Dom but

1:18:47

it's so fucking dark yes it's

1:18:49

really don't even think it calm

1:18:51

down that we have a glare on the

1:18:53

street like what are we

1:18:56

huh it's okay we're fake years fans yeah

1:18:58

even though I was there since day one

1:19:00

in the play them all it gets your

1:19:02

time yeah we're fake yeah exactly okay that

1:19:04

can be any one yeah

1:19:06

relax I don't have a

1:19:08

poster of Dom I will I was gonna

1:19:12

say something about it shit

1:19:17

I forgot I forgot I had something locked

1:19:19

in load this is before the chainsaw Lancer

1:19:21

sure sure sure I'm trying to I'm trying

1:19:24

to scam and see if I can find

1:19:26

anything else in here I remember in an

1:19:28

hour from now and interrupt it was fine

1:19:30

shit was it about the story was

1:19:32

it about number seven was it

1:19:34

about your pop no

1:19:37

I'm not even close it's gone

1:19:39

it's gone all

1:19:41

right there's another like cover story in here I'm not

1:19:43

seeing a whole lot other than just like vibes

1:19:46

and tones and like getting back

1:19:48

to the franchise but there's talk

1:19:50

about that Mad World yeah I

1:19:52

like the horror vibe trailer

1:19:55

break down more yeah I'm also triggered

1:19:57

by Mad World because of Jones he

1:19:59

hates it Uh, Jones most hated

1:20:01

trailers of all time if I remember correctly. Wait,

1:20:03

no, really? Really? No, that can't be right. With

1:20:05

Mad World is when Jones most hated trailers. Does

1:20:07

he hate it? I don't think that's right. No,

1:20:10

I think Jones hates it. I don't know. Uh,

1:20:13

well, now he's probably gone on a rant. No,

1:20:15

Jones hates it because it has nothing to do

1:20:17

with what is happening in the game. Yeah,

1:20:19

and it's his own other... It's like, oh, it's

1:20:21

a Mad World cool, okay? Obviously. But

1:20:24

is it getting people into it? But it also wasn't the

1:20:26

first. I think that's another thing. Yeah. You

1:20:28

can do it by the time you come up. Yeah,

1:20:30

yeah, yeah. Great Jones, right? I remember. Uh,

1:20:32

killing locusts, I think I

1:20:35

like killing even more than

1:20:37

fucking Nazis. Like locusts

1:20:39

are one of the absolute

1:20:42

best enemies to kill

1:20:45

in video games, full stop,

1:20:48

not hyperbole, period. Big

1:20:53

words. Yes. And they've

1:20:55

taken a backseat recently. So I'm excited

1:20:57

for like hard core locusts. I

1:21:00

will say that. Robots suck, dude. With

1:21:02

the binary domain. Yeah. Yeah.

1:21:05

They did have them, they did write themselves into a little bit

1:21:08

of a corner there, for sure. Yep.

1:21:11

Yep. Uh, Huber, we won't get

1:21:13

too deep into all of this, but Call of Duty did

1:21:15

like 20 minutes. It is

1:21:18

looking like a good year.

1:21:20

Yeah. Especially after the insane

1:21:25

backlash from Modern Warfare 3 and the,

1:21:28

what was an ultimate let down, honestly,

1:21:30

especially after Modern Warfare 1 and 2

1:21:32

reboot, I really loved those. Those are

1:21:34

some of my favorites actually,

1:21:36

in the last long time. They

1:21:38

were so strong and Modern Warfare

1:21:40

3 was just a straight up

1:21:42

disappointment. Treyarch's

1:21:45

been killing it. I'm

1:21:47

a big, big believer

1:21:50

in Black Ops 6. The

1:21:52

Omni movement thing seems like kind

1:21:55

of small on the outside, but I think

1:21:57

it's really big. Yeah. natural

1:22:00

and more immersive. Yeah, the

1:22:03

maps looked really really

1:22:05

strong like the casino one looked so

1:22:07

good the like the diner

1:22:09

was like a diner like city area

1:22:11

all the maps looked super good and

1:22:16

Hopefully the story keeps going because like the black

1:22:18

ops story is one of the best But

1:22:21

I'm a little nervous because going into modern

1:22:23

warfare 3 I was one

1:22:25

of the most excited I've ever been for

1:22:28

the campaign Because of the story

1:22:30

and how modern warfare 1 & 2 had gone I

1:22:33

was like do modern warfare 3 here we go This is gonna

1:22:35

be a great story and it was just it was not good

1:22:37

It was not great. Was it that

1:22:40

modern warfare where everyone was excited and then they

1:22:42

some people played it and they were like I

1:22:44

kind of just ran in a line. Yeah,

1:22:46

it was that they they hype up like

1:22:48

you can you can go multiple ways which

1:22:51

This one again is hyping that

1:22:54

up It's like freedom to tackle

1:22:56

these missions and it's like

1:22:58

well black ops cold will cold war Was

1:23:01

really hyping that up and like you couldn't really do

1:23:03

much So then it went to modern warfare 3 where

1:23:05

they were like no you can really Change

1:23:08

it up and it was like

1:23:10

no we still really can't do

1:23:12

much different Now they're saying the

1:23:14

same thing people were like I guess you there were a

1:23:16

couple ways I could go but they were both boring You

1:23:21

know two ways what they're both the same Yeah,

1:23:25

so hopefully now because you know cold

1:23:27

now it's Like I'm

1:23:29

sure modern warfare 3 and cold war were

1:23:31

being developed around the same time. So it's

1:23:33

like, okay Well, this is now

1:23:35

technically a follow-up to cold war. So

1:23:38

it's like let's hope they brought some of that, you know Forward

1:23:44

Yeah, what do you think about these

1:23:46

sis settings they talked about like crouching

1:23:48

and mantling and all of this stuff Yeah,

1:23:50

that's so if you got a feel obviously,

1:23:53

you know, you need to feel it when

1:23:55

you play But everything that they talked about

1:23:57

was really encouraging for sure. Yeah, let's do

1:23:59

that comedy movie you know sprinting sideways

1:24:01

I love nine regions hit boxes on

1:24:04

bodies love that yeah love that increasing

1:24:06

that yeah we're blaming hit detection yeah

1:24:08

I was playing Destiny 2 the other

1:24:10

night and you know I'm a Titan

1:24:15

so I was like in

1:24:17

a shootout and I had my shield

1:24:20

barrier equipped instead of my

1:24:22

dodge and I just like I'm trying to like

1:24:24

dodge sideways and stuff to like

1:24:26

block these attacks and I couldn't and then I

1:24:28

was thinking about black ops 6

1:24:30

I'm like oh man that hominy movement's gonna be

1:24:32

good like yeah like nothing is cooler

1:24:37

to me in a video game than when you like hit

1:24:40

a character or shoot a character in

1:24:42

a particular place and it like react

1:24:45

that character reacts in that place

1:24:47

like that is the best like

1:24:50

in golden eye first time remember

1:24:52

that yeah golden eye my

1:24:54

brain always goes to first and foremost though is

1:24:56

it what was it for it max pain

1:25:00

three has some

1:25:02

of the best you shoot a

1:25:04

guy in the head and they just like crump down

1:25:06

the best is a coach it's amazing

1:25:08

yeah yeah I'm also

1:25:11

a big fan of the Manchurian

1:25:13

candidate which black ops loves you

1:25:15

know brainwash shit yeah political assassinations

1:25:18

like the black ops storyline is awesome

1:25:20

yeah they're talking about you going like

1:25:22

you're actually like rogue agents this time

1:25:24

around yeah yeah do you put

1:25:27

a team together and all that stuff

1:25:29

about your usual resources we're killing a

1:25:31

president we're killing a president in this

1:25:33

game for sure an American mark yes

1:25:35

mark my words we are we will

1:25:37

assassinate a president in American president yes

1:25:39

or we will attempt to mark my

1:25:42

words black ops 6 it's going

1:25:44

down as a villain or as

1:25:47

anyone I don't know who we will

1:25:49

be but there will be an assassination

1:25:51

attempt on the president I don't

1:25:54

think that that we are a player base would

1:25:56

enjoy that yeah it's gonna happen going

1:25:59

down Even

1:26:01

if we're brainwashed dude the numbers Mason they

1:26:03

talked about him though being like super straight

1:26:05

lace Right like it's all like a you

1:26:07

know set up on him. Yeah Yeah,

1:26:11

he seems yeah, he seems cool in this

1:26:15

And I love Adler one of the

1:26:17

greatest newer characters in this series love Adler

1:26:22

Customizable HUD Really

1:26:25

cool thing Like

1:26:27

yeah move it around for your camera

1:26:29

if you're streaming like whatever you want

1:26:32

There's gonna be some crazy like because you can

1:26:34

change your HUD in the multiplayer I assume too

1:26:37

So there's gonna be some crazy HUD meta for

1:26:39

like professional. Yeah I

1:26:50

called you the eSport player who has the map in

1:26:52

the center of their screen Umm

1:26:59

You know one thing I want to get your

1:27:01

perspective on yes how Cuz

1:27:03

I know it's significant how significant is I'm

1:27:06

saying 16 all

1:27:08

new multiplayer maps how is that

1:27:10

stack up to the past few years huge huge

1:27:12

cuz uh Modern

1:27:14

warfare had a lot of remade

1:27:19

Maps yeah out of the gate,

1:27:21

and I honestly think the most important

1:27:23

thing for the health and

1:27:27

commitment to Multiplayer

1:27:31

are the maps you

1:27:33

know I have so much trauma from

1:27:35

like the my battlefield days Where

1:27:38

there would be like a handful of maps, and then you

1:27:40

would just like Q

1:27:43

into one and you're like I don't like this map

1:27:45

whatever play it get to the next one Oh, I

1:27:47

don't like this one either, and it's like well. There's

1:27:49

only like eight. You know and if you don't like

1:27:51

three of them Like then there's

1:27:53

really only five Exactly,

1:27:55

and it's also when there's fewer maps. I

1:27:58

feel like people find like glitches Easier

1:28:00

like common glitches where they can like

1:28:02

clip themselves into the wall so they can

1:28:04

snipe everyone on the map We're own on

1:28:07

prone on top of like offending machine But

1:28:15

I Have I have

1:28:17

a thing I have a philosophy where no

1:28:20

matter what you do there will never be enough maps Yeah,

1:28:22

no matter what? Yeah So 16 out

1:28:25

of the gate even though like four of

1:28:27

them I think or something are for the

1:28:29

other mode They

1:28:32

cut them up somehow. There's like four or five that

1:28:34

are part of another playlist I

1:28:36

still think that's a very very good start

1:28:39

for maps for sure 16

1:28:41

is a very strong Helping them feel

1:28:43

like you can play all night and

1:28:45

not see yes It's like

1:28:47

you're hoping for the casino so you can

1:28:49

roll some dice at the craps table. You're

1:28:51

hoping I'm hope you know what

1:28:54

I'm hoping you can fire This

1:28:56

heist looks so sick you can fire

1:28:58

a pistol at dice on the craps table, and

1:29:00

they'll move oh Yeah, and you

1:29:02

get an achievement for it or or just go

1:29:04

up to the thought machine mid-match like let me

1:29:07

know we pull Let me pull that and a

1:29:09

grenade comes out She's that

1:29:11

amount of detail they did

1:29:13

mention cuticles that was weird Making

1:29:16

sure that the cuticles like Are

1:29:19

matching the level I mean like

1:29:22

action that you're doing like you that you

1:29:24

have dirty cubicles to me Your hands are

1:29:26

right by the camera. That's why would they

1:29:28

have clean cuticles? They

1:29:30

didn't say clean They just

1:29:33

said detailed Time

1:29:38

out matching it up. Yeah, they don't want you to have

1:29:40

clean cuticles if you've been like Taking through

1:29:42

the dirt or whatever to me It was just

1:29:44

them flexing saying hey we spend 500 million dollars

1:29:46

to make this game look the prettiest of all

1:29:48

time Yeah, if you're gonna be a floating pair

1:29:51

of arms. You're gonna be a floating pair of

1:29:53

arms. It looks good Yeah, call of duty games

1:29:55

like you play the campaign, and you're like this

1:29:57

is every time every year every single

1:30:00

year you're like this is absolutely one

1:30:02

of the best looking video games if

1:30:04

not the best every year obviously it's

1:30:06

not some massive open world there's all

1:30:09

these little caveats that you can bring

1:30:11

into that conversation but like what is

1:30:13

in front of me looks so

1:30:16

good every shots of this like

1:30:18

hideout whatever this thing is like

1:30:22

the kitchen that they show that looks like

1:30:24

a servant's kitchen it's like like in the

1:30:26

basin so sick and

1:30:29

I think yeah Gabby I'm glad you brought

1:30:31

that up because they have done

1:30:33

a little bit of that in the past but

1:30:35

I feel like that's such a low hanging fruit

1:30:37

easy way to get

1:30:39

you more invested in the

1:30:42

characters just have a little

1:30:44

safe house or like like inner

1:30:46

missions before and after each mission

1:30:49

to let me feel

1:30:52

like I'm part of this world to

1:30:54

let me talk to the characters to

1:30:56

build their characters out instead

1:30:58

of just like mission mission mission shoot

1:31:00

shoot shoot kill kill kill it's like

1:31:03

yo let me take a beat to

1:31:05

like inhabit who I am a moment

1:31:07

of levity exactly that's there's nothing that to

1:31:09

me improves immersion and like

1:31:11

a story more than a moment of

1:31:13

levity and like nothing

1:31:16

means more to me than if you're in a

1:31:18

hub and you can like walk up to a

1:31:20

character and press whatever

1:31:22

it is and triangle on

1:31:25

a PlayStation usually and you can have

1:31:27

a three second conversation or they'll just

1:31:29

say something like oh hey what's up

1:31:31

I'm just yeah filling out this spreadsheet

1:31:33

or whatever red dead

1:31:36

ham yeah I

1:31:38

know what you're thinking yeah yeah well

1:31:40

yeah nice

1:31:44

so that does it for Xbox looks

1:31:46

sick Call of Duty strong showing sorry

1:31:48

Call of Duty is fun yeah sorry

1:31:50

sorry to say it super fun um

1:31:53

1:31:55

this before but yeah first first

1:31:57

Call of Duty to launch day one on gamepad

1:32:00

So that's gonna be crazy to see

1:32:02

what happens there with the numbers. Yeah,

1:32:04

yeah, cuz uh, you know Warzone

1:32:07

free to play gets all the love it

1:32:10

gets all the headlines it gets all the guides It

1:32:13

gets all the social posts that they couldn't talk

1:32:15

about it either. Yeah, and it's like oh, yeah

1:32:17

Yeah, and it's like I like I

1:32:19

like call of duty for being call of duty

1:32:21

like give me my deathmatch Sorry, like mm-hmm. That

1:32:23

is why I play call of duty if I

1:32:25

1:32:36

get people like me back in Who

1:32:39

you know, like I'm not I'm not paying $70 For

1:32:42

that every year, but oh it's on game pass Land

1:32:48

group stream where we play multiplayer called

1:32:50

Lee. Yes. Oh, yeah um

1:32:55

All right, Ubisoft. I don't think we need to

1:32:57

get too deep into Ubisoft stuff because They

1:33:00

basically had two big things Which we then

1:33:02

talked about in our impressions and all of

1:33:05

that check them out Try to look tell

1:33:07

is calm but Star Wars outlaws

1:33:09

starting the show. Yep Orchestral

1:33:12

intro and then I had this nice

1:33:14

little what I what I appreciate about

1:33:16

the show What they

1:33:18

put in the press conference itself, which

1:33:21

by the way It was like one

1:33:23

of the few live actually live press

1:33:25

conferences with a stage walking out. Fantastic.

1:33:27

Yeah But

1:33:30

what I appreciate being brave about

1:33:33

this you there is They

1:33:36

they gave us this presentation here. That

1:33:38

is actually a completely different thing than

1:33:40

the stuff that you played Yeah, so

1:33:42

wasn't when you went when you played

1:33:44

you were like, oh, I just saw

1:33:47

this right Yeah, that was basically what

1:33:49

Assassin's Creed was. I like that the

1:33:51

the portraits are the shape of sub-occ

1:33:53

cards. Yeah Yeah,

1:33:55

yeah Sorry

1:33:58

continues. I couldn't say that one were

1:34:00

reacting.

1:34:04

Yeah, I mean, I think the

1:34:06

primary cell for

1:34:08

Star Wars Outlaws is the world.

1:34:12

You know, if you are not burnt

1:34:15

out, sick of Star Wars, like if...

1:34:18

One of my favorite things about video games

1:34:20

is being able to really live in these

1:34:22

worlds, you know? And I

1:34:24

think this is just such an opportunity, like I

1:34:27

talked to some of my Star Wars friends who don't

1:34:30

really game that much. Yes, my

1:34:32

friends who like Star Wars don't game

1:34:34

and they're like, yo, I

1:34:37

want to play that like, dude. My

1:34:40

dad, I don't think has seen this yet,

1:34:42

he's really gonna flip. Yeah, it's like, yo,

1:34:44

you can go to the cantina like that

1:34:47

and like, yo, everyone's just walking around and

1:34:49

you're just like, you're there? You're just there?

1:34:51

Your little guy, your little

1:34:53

guy has a mind of his own. He

1:34:56

like runs around, he investigates things like a

1:34:58

little dog, like, yeah, I

1:35:00

think the game

1:35:02

play, this sounds

1:35:05

like a criticism but it's really not because

1:35:07

you know I love my little popcorn busters.

1:35:10

The game plays safe, very safe, you

1:35:12

know? This is not going to

1:35:14

revolutionize anything, but to

1:35:16

me open-world games in the year

1:35:18

2024 are mostly about refinement. Yeah.

1:35:20

And this game feels refined, obviously,

1:35:23

you know, from the 50 minutes

1:35:25

that I played, I can't really tell you

1:35:27

about the two most important things. One of

1:35:29

them is the economy and two are

1:35:32

the reputation systems. Yeah, and those

1:35:34

two go together because they talked

1:35:36

about getting discounts and things. Exactly,

1:35:38

exactly. From being in the good

1:35:41

graces of the syndicate. Yeah, so I cannot

1:35:43

speak at all to that which seems so

1:35:46

important to this game, but

1:35:49

the Star Wars world

1:35:53

is excellently portrayed,

1:35:55

you know? It is so

1:35:58

delicious. Exactly. And... And

1:36:00

I was kinda, you know... It's

1:36:03

like pigeonholed in my demos, right? It's like,

1:36:05

okay, do this part, this part, this part.

1:36:07

This is an open world, this is an

1:36:09

open universe, this is an open galaxy! Yeah!

1:36:11

That's the word! This is an open galaxy,

1:36:13

right? Exactly. Exactly.

1:36:15

And I was like pretty...

1:36:17

...linear-ed off... Uh, with what

1:36:19

I got to play, so it's like... Yeah, cause like

1:36:21

even like the... Yeah, the scavenged ship, it's like, well

1:36:24

you just... ...gotta work your way through the tunnels

1:36:26

or whatever that you've got. Same thing with the

1:36:28

Imperial Base, so yeah. Yeah, definitely. You're saying, yeah,

1:36:30

yeah. Yeah! So... But even from

1:36:33

my linear time with the game in

1:36:35

50 minutes... I really

1:36:37

felt... ...how Star Wars

1:36:39

it was, you know? Because I've said it

1:36:41

multiple times, like... Jedi Survivor

1:36:43

and Jedi Fallen Order are incredible games.

1:36:46

Oh my god, I love them so,

1:36:48

so much. And you just finished. I

1:36:50

just finished Jedi Survivor, fresh. And it's

1:36:52

like, yo, those planets, those worlds, those

1:36:54

levels feel like video games. Mhm.

1:36:56

They're so set up like a video

1:36:59

game, you know? The little traversal run-on-this-wall

1:37:01

climb here, like it feels like I'm

1:37:03

in a video game. Whereas

1:37:05

from my brief time with Outlaws, it felt

1:37:07

like I was on... It looks like I'm

1:37:09

watching a Star Wars miniseries. Yes. Yes.

1:37:12

Absolutely. That's like one of the

1:37:14

weird things about this game, that like... You

1:37:17

know, 12 year old me, who's obsessed

1:37:19

with Star Wars, would never believe... Well,

1:37:22

would never believe a lot of things about me right

1:37:24

now. Yeah! The

1:37:27

fact that we didn't see a lightsaber, the fact

1:37:29

that you can't Force jump, the fact that you can't

1:37:31

flip all over the place, actually has me kind of

1:37:33

hyped. Yeah. Absolutely. Because it's like

1:37:35

the limitations, like, I'm

1:37:37

more interested in fleshing

1:37:39

out the world than like the Skywalkers

1:37:42

anymore, you know? Yeah. If

1:37:45

you want to flip all over the place

1:37:47

and swing a lightsaber... Play Survivor! Play Survivor!

1:37:49

Which is great! It's also... Yeah. But

1:37:52

if you don't, if you just want to be low-key, you

1:37:54

don't want to use the Force, you want

1:37:57

to be a cool girl with Lego-piece

1:37:59

hair. Yeah, which

1:38:01

like don't we all Plus

1:38:05

her crop jacket love a crop jacket.

1:38:07

Yeah, obviously Yeah,

1:38:10

we people have already said like we want to see

1:38:12

hairstyles and all that kind of stuff. Yeah Like

1:38:19

do what I want predictions right now

1:38:22

do we think That

1:38:25

depending on who you ally with as you know,

1:38:27

I'm allying with the huts only Thing

1:38:32

I want everyone's opinion. Do you think that will have

1:38:34

a Dramatic

1:38:38

impact on this game or it will

1:38:40

it be surface level like Discounts

1:38:43

at shops or like on

1:38:45

a mission a door will

1:38:47

be unlocked or a guard will let always I

1:38:50

like you think I'll be super basic. Yeah, I

1:38:52

don't really change I don't think

1:38:54

it'll be more than starfield Like I don't think

1:38:56

it'll go as far as what starfield did depending

1:38:58

on like who you affiliate Although you can to

1:39:00

fill it with multiple people So I'm also curious

1:39:02

if you can affiliate with multiple people in here

1:39:04

as well Like you want with the huts like

1:39:06

and you max out that can you go over to

1:39:08

another one? Or is it just you can

1:39:10

only I got one. Yeah, I mean from well, I

1:39:13

mean, I don't know how deep yeah That's

1:39:15

what I'm sure about that. It does feel like

1:39:17

you know, you can be on you

1:39:19

know Multiple people's

1:39:21

good sides. What's the character from Mission

1:39:23

Impossible? What's her face play

1:39:26

is that like is like always the neutral

1:39:28

that always arranges the meetings for Ethan also

1:39:30

max max his daughter Yeah,

1:39:33

oh, yeah, that's that's

1:39:35

what you want to be I'm

1:39:40

gonna be thinking about that now I'm

1:39:46

not I'm not taking anyone's affinity. I'm not

1:39:48

pretending they're my friends We're gonna

1:39:50

we're gonna get done what needs to get done

1:39:53

Oh when they did confirm we were confused about

1:39:55

like, oh, are you recruiting these people to learn

1:39:57

skills? It's like you learn skills, but also you're

1:39:59

recruiting them for a heist.

1:40:01

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, confirmed. Yeah,

1:40:04

confirmed. Like you can see in

1:40:06

the top of the screen right here in the footage

1:40:08

it says hut territory. Like I imagine if you were

1:40:11

aligned with them you could just walk in.

1:40:13

Yeah. Yeah. And then it'll make them

1:40:15

easier. Yes, I know. I

1:40:17

think there's some amount of that but then there's also

1:40:19

like one of the things that you said. Yeah, in

1:40:21

certain areas. When they had said before is,

1:40:24

you know, like that actually if

1:40:26

you're wanting to stay good with the huts that's

1:40:29

why you want to be stealthy in this stuff.

1:40:31

You start getting into shootouts then we're getting back

1:40:33

to them. Oh, you're

1:40:36

trying to get to the business.

1:40:38

Uh-oh. I will save scum if

1:40:40

any kind of hut rep is

1:40:42

on the line. Really? Wow, we

1:40:44

got here for the save scum.

1:40:47

I'll do it. I'll do

1:40:49

it. That to me actually implies less complexity

1:40:51

because that means that the story requires this

1:40:53

to happen one way or the other and

1:40:55

whether or not you're aligned with them doesn't

1:40:57

make a difference. Yeah, I'm very nervous. Whether

1:40:59

it hits your rep or not.

1:41:01

So yeah, that actually is

1:41:03

kind of a bummer to hear but like, I

1:41:05

don't know, I don't expect much out

1:41:08

of this but I think it

1:41:10

looks better than I thought it would be when we

1:41:12

saw this for sure. My main

1:41:15

worry would be that this game

1:41:17

has Ubisoft syndrome which is like

1:41:20

every mission is identical and

1:41:25

but that I don't even want to put

1:41:27

that evil out into the world because I'm so excited about

1:41:29

this game. I will play this game to

1:41:31

credits. I love Star Wars. I love

1:41:33

the Star Wars universe. I love Star

1:41:35

Wars UI and it

1:41:40

just looks fun. It is. It

1:41:42

makes the robot spark to

1:41:45

like stun the other

1:41:47

enemies. That's kind of what we were saying. I

1:41:49

remember we said this after this

1:41:51

live stream when we were reacting is like

1:41:54

it looks like, You

1:41:56

know, hopefully it, Pie in the

1:41:58

Sky, it's like. The

1:42:01

the the the you be soft

1:42:03

game. Like. Perfected.

1:42:06

You know yet it's still gonna be a you

1:42:08

be self game. Shadows looks like this kind of

1:42:10

in some ways to but it's like you know

1:42:12

it's still a you be self game but it's

1:42:14

just like the best one. So. Far measured.

1:42:17

And. Like yeah, I hate. Aides are still

1:42:19

good. Just. A Ah it's funny

1:42:22

because we saw we saw This and

1:42:24

Shadows and Section. My two favorite use

1:42:26

of studios use of Quebec is doing

1:42:28

shadows a massive is during this I

1:42:30

Love Massively did Avatar and Vision. I

1:42:33

think they're both. Excellent games. I

1:42:36

didn't lay avatar, but. Division.

1:42:39

Like just the. Susan to specific

1:42:41

Yeah this hope is is that. The.

1:42:44

Environments The it's as

1:42:46

environment. Good I've seen. You

1:42:49

know, seriously, division to an

1:42:51

avatar. The environments are so

1:42:53

good. Ah yes. Ah,

1:42:57

of the show though also. Has.

1:43:00

Probably. My lowest point we go

1:43:02

nowhere. brain on our ago yeah

1:43:04

they come out here. Are

1:43:07

my like right? it's Prince of Persia. Then of

1:43:09

are. Thinking

1:43:12

skills, java or got scary things for you

1:43:14

and I First of all yeah they get

1:43:16

they bring up the last crown and like

1:43:18

just salinger they do with the game they

1:43:20

should original said it in the the might

1:43:22

hey we're also working on Prince of Her

1:43:24

know I returned Rate building up now are

1:43:26

you anywhere? And as our. Ski,

1:43:29

go ahead of us are going wonder

1:43:31

if not everyone knows oh that movie

1:43:33

Brooke they like. Okay we got three

1:43:35

bags to you last. Round they talk about

1:43:38

how I've been doing. I'm like okay, we've got.

1:43:41

Story. Dlc Tom Enough in September, Mask of

1:43:43

Darkness and then I'm like okay and and

1:43:45

throw Prince of Persia again. We already knew

1:43:47

about this. There's like a. New. As.

1:43:49

Young as new Biome or whatever they do,

1:43:52

they get her temple a fire kind, you

1:43:54

know. and then a third announcement. That.

1:43:56

sands of time remake and then

1:43:58

lights them screen

1:44:02

comes up, candle

1:44:05

reversing time, and then

1:44:08

we get the title and a date and

1:44:11

it's over and exactly what you said,

1:44:13

it's like why didn't you just

1:44:15

tell us it's still in the work because the date is 2026!

1:44:18

Insane. What were they thinking? This is the same, the

1:44:20

only other 2026 game that I know of, it's like

1:44:22

a game that is in Kickstarter

1:44:25

right now. They should have gone. Just like why?

1:44:27

Like the game was already supposed to have come

1:44:29

out, it was already like this

1:44:32

thing has been in development hell forever.

1:44:36

They should have pulled a Metroid Prime 4

1:44:38

announcement where they're like okay we're sorry, you

1:44:40

know we've been looking forward to this game

1:44:42

but we had to restart development. I should

1:44:45

have been honest and been like yeah exactly,

1:44:47

should have framed it that way and I

1:44:49

think that would have bought so much more

1:44:51

goodwill. Even just

1:44:54

like saying it's still in development, I don't think it

1:44:56

would have been a bad idea, I think they need

1:44:58

to say what's up with this. Just

1:45:00

be frank and say what's up and they didn't even

1:45:02

do that and so they're trying to make it like

1:45:04

nah it's still coming, you're so excited!

1:45:06

It's like nah I'm not,

1:45:08

no sorry. It honestly makes

1:45:10

me wonder if honesty is

1:45:13

anathema to stock prices. No

1:45:17

because to me as a

1:45:19

consumer I always want companies and

1:45:21

it buys honestly a lot of positive

1:45:23

mind share for me. If a company

1:45:25

comes out and is like hey look

1:45:27

we were trying this thing for a year, it sucked.

1:45:31

We started over, so hey

1:45:33

sorry this is 2026 now but we're really

1:45:35

excited, we're still going in the direction we're

1:45:38
