But, Mr Maze, we're going tostart the show all talking about
the MCU.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's about to get into what Mr Mason Video games,
video games, yeah, man, soMarvel Studios rumor, but it's a
very, very resourceful resource.
Is it a strong rumor, mr Mason?
It is how strong?
I would say maybe like a 75%75%.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
All right, Mr Mason.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So Marvel Studios rumored to make a video game set
within the Marvel CinematicUniverse.
So pretty much it will takeplace in the same universe as
the movies and Disney shows.
So pretty much it's going torun alongside as the big screen.
I don't think it's ever beendone before.
So this is big news, man.
So like what you're playing ishappening on the big screen,
(01:40):
practically it's going to run.
I don't know how they're goingto do that.
I think this might be a bigdisaster.
It can be.
But it can also be a big hittoo, because they got a lot of
stuff you can.
They can go in a lot ofdirections, they can do it.
So this is interesting It'll bea first, a show turned video
(02:06):
game or a big screen convertinggame, but not like on screen at
the same time, where you'recontrolling the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
My thing is like, are we going way back when they
first started the MarvelCinematic Universe?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
That's a good question.
I don't know, or are we?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
going somewhere in the middle and all the actors
that play it.
We part of the video game orare we losing someone else?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Good question.
Those are questions we do notknow, because there's not that
much information on this,because I believe you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
the homeboy that plays Iron man, tony Stark,
robert Downey Jr, he's not goingto come cheap.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know he can't come cheap you know who he is.
You know his name.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
No, he's Mr Marvel saying so it's like Uncle Chief.
So I got to figure SamuelJackson ain't cheap too.
I ain't cheap, mother.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
A lot of yous ain't cheap, but hey, mama can afford
them.
So put it that way Mama canafford them.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
No, back to Samuel Jackson.
Remember Lexus?
Have you know celebrities, youcan talk, man.
That don't even work no more.
I was like yo ask Simon Jacksonfor the weather?
No, ain't work, no more theytook that function off.
I was mad as hell get out ofhere.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But what if you pay for it?
Though, I pay for it.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I pay $4 for that, so then why doesn't that work?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I have no idea, mr Mason yo, alexa, give me my
money back, was it just?
Was it just like a temporarything for like a month or
something?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
no, then you got, I got robbed.
Amazon, give me a gift card, atleast a $4 gift card.
I could lose that for something.
Add it on Outrageous.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I wonder what that is .
You got to Google that.
I got to find out why I'moutraged From Mr Amazing.
Anything else you want to sayabout?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
this, nope, nope, it's a development.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Still the MCU you know, I think it might be high
risk.
It is and, like I said, I don'tknow when they're starting this
from.
So you know what I'm saying.
We'll find out, but you gotvideo games costing over 200,
300 million dollars.
(03:55):
So I'm like hey, who's money ina game that really suck?
You spend $300 million.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Guess what, guess what.
It's not Game of Trap money.
We don't have to worry about it, that's true too?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Can we make more money than that we do?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I haven't got a check cut yet you got to put the work
in Mr Amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I know we do, mr Amazing.
Now I'm going to talk about thenext face of the show.
We're talking about Tomb Raider.
Tomb Raider, lord Croft, thequeen of the raiding Mm-hmm
Raiding tombs.
You could say this is the.
We know the king is Drake.
You could say that People mightsay Tomb Raider came out first
and Drake is like the femaleversion of that you could say
(04:39):
that, or Drake's more popularthan Tomb Raider.
It had a better movie than TombRaider.
I didn't really like the movieUncharted movie, but it made
over $300 million.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And she's also one of the first heroines,
protagonists in games.
I'm not saying she's the first,but one of the pioneers you can
say that for video games.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, one of the pioneers, the biggest pioneer, I
think personally.
Well, we got the princess,princess, princess.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
whatever Zelda princess preach we didn't do
anything but we'll say moreactive hero yeah, metroid,
metroid, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
At that time was a big shock to the female, to the
master.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
She got her hair up like, yeah, what the?
It's a female, I can't playthis game no more.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Some people probably said, but not me oh yeah, I bet
you that game came out now theywould say that back in the days
there was no YV's.
Now these days people wantoverdue stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Mazin, are you talking about just the game in

a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I got Poodle controls yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And obviously, like you said, photo mode.
So this should be good.
You know, this is a game Ishould consider getting Hold on.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Also one of the things they said I didn't know
the boss didn't have no healthbars.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
They didn't.
Really, I never got that farbecause I always get nine.
Really, I never got that farbecause I always get nine.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
My sister played most of them.
I hate it.
I honestly hate the two-way.
I would buy them, not finishthem.
My sister would go please go.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I find them hard.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, because you jump over Like oh, and then that
fall yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I know when she falls .
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I was like, oh God, I don't play the last two, I need
to go play my major backlog.
Mr Mays will know my backlog iscrazy.
Me and Mr Mays played a coupleof co-op games.
We need to get on track withthat.
But I digress.
Mr Mays, Anything else you wantto say about this?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
No, but this is a perfect time for somebody like
me that liked Tomb Raider butnever got into it.
I think this is a perfect timefor me to get back in the series
, starting off, obviously, withthe one that dropped earlier
this year.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Also, one of the things they include is that you
get to go switch between classicand modern graphics, just like
this.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh, that's cool.
That's cool, I like that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
We got more coming, all right the latest rumor
coming out.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Mr Amazing Mm-hmm Rumor, it's coming to y'all
about the PlayStation.
You know what I'm saying?
Crash Bandicoot.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Really yes.
What do you got?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
coming for them.
He's going to join PlayStationAll-Stars.
The.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
No, mr Amazing.
Yeah, that's a flame.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, they're going to do a remaster of PlayStation
also?
No, they're not.
I was about to say that's mydream.
Okay, the remaster is the Godof War series, mr Amazing.
It already had a collectionalready, but they're saying that
they're going to have a newcollection coming out for the
PS5, which includes the games ofGod of War 2.
(09:21):
God of War Chained Olympus, godof War, ghost of Spartan, we
probably remastered this, and Ithink this, this makes sense,
because what are we reaching?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
the 20th anniversary, so makes sense for you to drop
that.
And on top of that, you got aPlaystation Pro coming out.
We could feature all thesegames.
So it all, it all lines up tome.
So this is I don't think it's arumor, I think it's set in
Stonewall.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's reported by Need for Games.
They were sharing theinformation as well.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, and it's supposed to be done by what's
the company that made Horizonand all those remastered games
Nixis?
Yeah, so it would be them thatdoes all this.
So we'll find out.
It makes a lot of sense.
I don't think it's a rumor.
I think it.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
It's projected to come out March of 2025.
Yeah, it makes sense, it linesup with everything.
So, mr Mays, do you think Ishould keep my PlayStation 3
collection of those games Of?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
course.
Yeah, I might as well keep it,you never know, of course.
Like we said, still rumored.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, with the keyword still rumor.
But, Mr Mays, let me ask youwhat remaster you'd like to see
of games of the early 2000s.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
A remaster of a game from the early 2000s.
I would like to see that's agood one.
I'm going to have to go withthe PlayStation.
What's that?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Oh my God, you might help me.
It could be, Xbox, it could be.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
No, but this is a PlayStation one that I did like,
actually the shooting game.
What's it called?
Was it Syphon Filter?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Oh yeah, a lot of people loved it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I like that game a lot.
A remaster of Syphon Filterwould be dope man.
I wouldn't mind that at allactually.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
For me it would be the Ubisoft Splinter Cell.
Splinter Cell was dope too,it's been rumored.
They posted a come out one, butthat one I would love to see
that happen.
I would love to see that happen.
That game was fine, actually.
Also another Ubisoft game Iwould include, before it went
mostly online service game.
(11:11):
Your brothers would play it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
My brother.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Vegas had a Vegas game Rainbow Six.
Yeah, rainbow Six was nice too,I like the Rainbow Six, where
you control the guys to go.
So so so.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that game.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
That was cool, cause they don't do that stuff no more
.
Yeah, that was fun too, so thatwould be a good remaster.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I would think I would go on top of my head yeah, I
was gonna say like the fightnights, but we got previewed to
Undisputed so it kinda curved mytaste for it.
So I'm okay with that for nowgo deep, go deep.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
you said there was a rumor.
We read somewhere oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Actually it's not a rumor, it's confirmed now.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So EA confirmed from the success of Undisputed.
They thought boxing was a deadman's sport, to be honest with
you, but with the release ofUndisputed they see there's a
big audience and a hunger for itand the sales are amazing.
So with that done, ea hasannounced that their team is
working on a new fight night,which they came out and also
said that it's been in the worksfor a while, but the project
(12:09):
was delayed due to the UFC gamesthat they were investing all
their time in.
So first they projected thiswould come out in 2027, but now
they're saying 2026.
Timeline we don't know.
But the only thing we know forsure is that a new fight night
is in the making.
Should be interestingCompetition.
I love competition.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And this is why competition is good, whether
it's NBA 2K we're talking sportsgames NBA 2K and Madden yeah
yeah, it drives.
There's a lot of features wewould like to see in games that
Madden doesn't put it or 2Kdoesn't really put it and you
know it's the best part abouthaving competition.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So Undisputed is going to have fighters.
Probably he's not going to have.
He's going to have fightersthat Undisputed is not going to
have.
So as a player, you'll be likedude.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I want this guy so guess what you might want to end
up buying the two players heain't got more money.
Remember, the only school I cansee them getting is the big boy
Mayweather.
Of course, mayweather that'sthe only school.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I can see them really getting, but remember like when
, when, like the NBA live waspopping, they had players that
2K didn't have if you rememberwhat players did they have?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
2K, all the both of them.
What players did they have?
Reggie Miller, my friend youforgot already Reggie Miller was
not in 2K.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Reggie Miller was never in 2K.
You forgot Reggie was alive.
Now you're making me overthinkmyself.
Reggie was alive.
Barkley Barkley's won too,wasn't Barkley?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I think that's later on, when 2K just faded, both
players were not on them, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Okay, remember, chris Webber went off for a while too
.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I think he's back now , though, remember after they
retired, then they could do thatwhen they're not retired.
They Yo, you hooked on there.
Okay, okay, okay, the onlyperson I think had the juice was
Michael Jordan.
Well, jordan was in both.
I think he wasn't in one ofthem, was he?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
he's in definitely 2K .
We know that.
Remember the 2K series, theJordan challenges you know they
count that.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They gave him a big check.
Of course, once he retired itwas difficult.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah once he retired a Jordan like this, license his
and plus I'm sure he had theJordan vs Bird game too.
I'm sure there's probably.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I think I had that Atari game, not the Nintendo one
.
Yeah, yeah, did I buy it at theconvention.
I tried, I think I bought it atthe convention it was there.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I remember I was there with you, but you didn't
buy it.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I think I bought it, you bought it, I played it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I was like I'll play it, you know whatever.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Well, mr Amazing, anything else you want to share
about this topic?
No, that's it for me.
Man People, what remaster youwant to see from the 2000s?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, let us know, man, Let us know Put the
comments in there.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, mr Amazing, let's go to Astro Bot sales and
also video game sales.
Okay, according to Europeandata for September, game sales
were up 20% thanks to severalbig releases, mr Amazing, okay,
and one of the big releases isAstro.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Bot, astro Bot.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And also, mr Amazing, the Xbox Starfield launch.
Sorry, no good news for that.
No good news for Xbox.
Sorry people, it's down 58%since the launch of Starfield.
Sorry, no good news for that.
No good news for Xbox.
Sorry people, it was down 58%since the launch of Starfail.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
As far as console sales, playstation console sales
were down 17% year by year.
Switch sales went up 1%.
The Switch sales keep on going,bro, are you sure?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
From my understanding is the.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm going for the European data for September
Astro Bot sales.
I'm doing general sales in theUS, me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because AstroBot we go for.
Astro Bot sales were 30% higherthan Silent Frontiers and 52%
bigger than Crash 4.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, crash 4, which nobody really cared about, yeah,
but Astro Bot's sales actuallydid better for any 3D platform
game in the last decade except,except the king, the godfather
Mario.
Mr Mario yeah that's the onlygame it didn't do beat, which
that's a hard one to beat,actually, but the fact that
you're up there in topic youneed to get mentioned.
(16:20):
You reach your Holy Grailstatus there, but you know it's
funny.
You took the European sales.
I have the US sales, wherevideo game hardware sales took a
drastic year-to-year decreasein 2024, where hardware spending
fell from $325 million to $208million.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I did a face-to-face too.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, which is a 36% drop.
So you got that as well, andcurrent gen consoles had an
average of 34% falls in salescompared to August of 2023.
But, of course, the biggest hitwas which we're not surprised
was the Switch, which took a 41%drop.
But the only reason the Switchtook the big drop is because
Switch has been out the longestbetween all the systems and
(17:02):
they're literally, literally atthe end of their life cycle.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You know what I found weird?
I'm going off topic.
I looked at IGN, yeah, and theywas comparing the sales of Xbox
X and PS5 to Nintendo Switch.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Why would they do that?
I have no idea Nintendo Switch.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Why would they do that?
I have no idea.
Nintendo Switch has been out solong.
That makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I was like freaking that's Apple to Oranges.
That makes no sense becauseNintendo Switch is going to win.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I was like what kind of nonsense I got to keep
questioning you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
What's going on bro?
Yeah, I wouldn't do thatbecause, Nintendo Switch is
going to win that.
What the fuck?
The Switch came out three yearsin 2017, right?
the Switch came out with the PS4and PS4 Xbox was out yeah, but
it came out in 2017 I forgotwhen the Switch came out,
because the Switch is seven yearshelf life right now, 2017.
(17:52):
These new consoles came out2020, right yeah, because it
came out during the pandemic.
So yeah, three year head starton you, that's.
That's like a million years invideo game life and that's more.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It was more of the PS4 and Xbox era.
I was.
I saw the IGN.
I was like sometimes I gotquestions to IGN.
When they do stuff, he's likethey needed a bait click.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, I was like what kind of crap is?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
this.
You know what I'm saying.
So, yeah, you know what I'msaying.
So, yeah, like I said, butwe'll see how the sales are for
this fall.
Yeah, it should be interesting.
Actually it should beinteresting.
But I think we both discussedwill PS Pro outsell the Xbox
Series X and S?
And I think you said mostlikely.
You said yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You said yes, I think I might have said yes, but if I
did, I might switch my answerto be honest with you, because I
think there's not going to beenough units for it to do that
for that solid season and thepricing is hefty.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
But, like I said, that's a bold statement and I
won't be surprised.
Also, I won't be surprised thatshit happens.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I won't be surprised if it does happen to be honest
with you.
I won't be surprised is goingto help them.
I think that's going to betheir reason.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's not going to make people who own the PS5
turnover go get an Xbox, becausethe PS5 is coming out soon.
Remember that was the argumentI had with you Four, five, six
months later.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, because that's the one I had with you.
I was so mad at Xbox for doingthat.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I was like I feel mad when they made it at their show
.
At that particular show,summerfest it looked like they
put it on the end screen come upfor PlayStation World.
They made a big separateannouncement saying come to
PlayStation World.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I was like what that was upsetting.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
To be honest with you , I don't know why they did that
, but Mr Basie, you know the bigboss at Microsoft say yo, we
spent all this money, son, mrBig Phil you know, Sandra Bond
Yo, we need our money, son.
We need our money, is that?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
going to be one of your Christmas gifts to yourself
this year.
I think I'm going to get it.
Actually, what Indiana Jonesgame?
No, get it for PlayStation.
You don't get it for Xbox.
Why not?
I think this would be a perfectXbox game for you to get back
into things.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I don't know.
I thought about gettingStarfield.
I was interested in gettingthat.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I think Indiana Jones would be better for you man, I
think that's the game that youcould finally be like yo, god
I've been playing the Xbox.
Because it's not a two-playergame.
So I think it's perfect for youto get this.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
for that I don't assume it's not a two-player
game.
No, it's not a two-player game.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's not, so.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
This is perfect, I'll get it, yeah, get it for the.
Xbox For Mr Mason what's up?
Yo yo yo, but I've met Wu-Khanago this year for PlayStation 5.
Sorry, xbox fans, you have towait a little longer.
Not saying you're not going toget it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's crazy that they got away that long.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yo, too bad.
You know what I'm saying.
That's crazy.
Like Mike says, I told you guysdo not come out with a system,
because that Series S, it's agoddamn Game Pass system.
Everybody system, everybodyfreaking knows it.
They should have came up with adamn one, digital one, xbox X,
bigger, $100, cheaper, that's it.
But you know what they want tobe cheap.
(21:06):
They want to make, not cheap.
They're trying to lowereverybody to Game Pass.
I'm going to complain aboutthis for several months.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
They discontinued that what?
No, they discontinued, theystopped making them.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yes, Mr Mason Remember they had an updated one
, the black one.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, yeah, now they're going to come up with
the rainbow color one.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I don't know what I'm saying, mr Amazing, or what I'm
saying right now.
This shit didn't do that, mrAmazing, true, and it's costing
them.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That's wrong.
Please calm down.
It's amazing now, but yeah,it's black people kong, I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So now it's coming out physical copy for the
playstation and it's coming outbefore as much even gets their
version of the game, which sucksbecause over 20 million copies.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, this is a big hit that they're missing out on.
This is one of the biggestsales.
Come on, man this is what I'msaying am I going to switch
before it comes out on the knowXbox at this rate, man?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Might as well, because the rumored price is
$64,000 in the US and I thinkit's $69,000 in the UK.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Oh yeah, but tell me what you told you know.
Tell me what you told me.
All fair about the game, thoughit's going to come loaded.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
It's going to come Fully full game.
It's amazing.
No updates, this is a full game.
You pop it in.
You got the damn game.
Mr Mason, that's cool, you gotthe game.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Did you buy yours or you didn't buy it?
No, I wish I was playing thisone.
Oh, you was waiting.
I wish I waited, but that gamewas so good that I got it even
though I'm not even playing itright now.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I got so many games.
I'm trying new plays to evenwin a couple of matches so feel
happy for Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Let's applaud him, let's give it up for him.
Let's give it up for him.
What a way to beat that game.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All right, mr Amazing , let's go to our trail of the
week.
Mr Amazing, it's werewolves.
Okay, it's not the holidayseason, it's the Halloween
season, so it makes sense.
You know Halloween, so let'scheck this out.
One, two, three, let's do this,Mom.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Uncle Wes, why can't you?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
stay.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
You need me to help them.
Try and stop this.
We're the only family we haveleft.
We got this.
Come on, what are you doing,man?
You should kill somebody.
We are all soldiers.
Now, tonight, when that sunsets.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It's gonna be every man for himself.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
We have a nine-hour window to test and report our
findings.
We hope to see if this mutationcan be blocked.
Let's go with the rules.
Don't open the door for anyone.
Don't hesitate for a second.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Good luck tonight.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Canopy retraction commencing Close the door.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
No more guns, no more guards.
Those things are coming for us.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I'm here, hey, bite me, help, help, help Mr Amazing.
(25:32):
Werewolves coming out December6th, not for a Halloween season,
but for the holiday season perse.
Mr Amazing dropping stuff, hedon't know.
He's so excited about watchingthe trailer he don't know what
to do.
Mr Amazing's dropping stuff, hedon't know, he's so excited
about watching a trailer hedon't know what to do.
And so, mr Amazing, this movieshould have went straight to
Prime, hey.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I'm not going to knock it yet it has like a.
It has the feel of the Purge.
You got the guy from KillerInstinct, the wolf Saber Wolf
from the Killer Instinct runningaround.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I forgot the actor's name Frank.
If I was the last name, he wasin two of the Purge movies.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh, so this is why he's in this movie.
Then Feels like it.
But you got Saber Wolf from theKiller Instinct running around
killing people, but no, prettymuch it looks like it's a kind
of mutations of humans that arebeing affected with it.
And then Every so, every sooften it happens, yeah, and it
transfers to wolves and then Iguess that's where the killing
in the movie begins.
So I'm not ready to go see.
(26:26):
I need to see a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
But I'm just imagining the answer is do you
green light it, yellow light itor red light this movie?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I'm a yellow with the trailer.
I'm a yellow.
I'm not gonna red it, I'm gonnayellow this is how, All right
Greenlight is free.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
If it's free.
If it comes to your primedescription, all right.
Oh, listen, that's Red Light.
It's coming to theaters everysix that movie we, lucky it,
makes $10 million.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I mean what's coming out in December.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I know Mulan's coming out.
You got Sonic coming out.
I think Sonic's going to comeout around that time Sonic 3.
That's going to be hard.
You know what I'm saying.
You got other movies coming out.
That ain't happening, bro.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah, you might be right.
They probably should havedropped that for Thanksgiving
season.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yo, that's a bit of prime, I said for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
to be honest with you , I don't know why they're
dropping Halloween.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That would make more sense.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Halloween.
Drop it straight.
You and I have been wrong acouple of times, so we'll see.
We haven't been hot on thistopic lately, so who knows?
Yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I was talking about it.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I said a lot of movies we greenlight like oh
damn we haven't been hot on thistopic, so contrast for a
greenlight, it's like yeah, butit's not bad.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Though it's not a bad movie, people doesn't come and
see it because, like I saidbefore in the previous podcast,
talking private, I don't know.
Could Michael Bay Universe messup and Beast Wars garbage,
straight garbage.
Son, straight garbage.
So I don't know.
I think the brand has stuck,but hopefully we'll see the
Transformers, gi Joe crossoverhappen.
(27:57):
Let's see what goes from there.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Let's go from there.
We'll see.
But, mr Amazing, all right,let's go to what Should we care?
Top of the week.
Mr Amazing, what's that?
I gave it away, michael Sawyersaid Halo Studios going in a new
direction.
Mr Amazing 347, will be nowbecoming what Mr Amazing Halo.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Studios, halo.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Studios, yep will be now becoming what Mr Mason, halo
Studios, yup, halo Studios, andwhat do you think?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
They did this before.
This is not the first time FromBungie the 343, to Halo Studios
, so it's not.
They have a history.
So they want to rebrand,rebrandish and drop it and make
people forget they've been doingnothing lately and then
hopefully get their attention.
They've done it, seen it before.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
They're supposed to have a crossover with Halo and
Gears of War, am I correct?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I don't know about this.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
This is used to me Halo and Call of Duty Also a
bundle with Halo.
Ghost of Hope, the social mediauser Ghost of Hope.
Well, the social media userGhost of Hope stated this oh, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I ain't hearing about that one.
One thing I did hear about thisis regard that all future Halos
will use the Unreal Engine 5for the next one coming out,
Because you know 343,.
One of their biggest problemswas that they were using an
outdated system when they weremaking their games, so that's
another reason that they did.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
we need to rebrandish this and, like I said, I know
we talked about this before, butwe're just going to go.
Hopefully we'll go a littlemore deeper into it and go from
there as one of our should wecare topics and I both, we both
don't really care.
Yeah, this, it's not really.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Because they've done it before, they've done it
before, changing the stage alittle bit more.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
So it's no big deal.
Another Should we Care topicbecause we just want to talk
about in case you guys missedthe last episode, I believe we
talked about it as well.
Another Should we Care topic isMr Amazing.
Should we care about P Diddy?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
About who P Diddy.
Let me cut that out is this aprank?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
sorry people, we don't care about P Diddy either.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Listen let's keep it frank, real with you.
He introduced us to a lot ofamazing artists, the music that
he dropped, because remember hewasn't rapping on these things.
He was just producing them.
You could say he was the man toremasters, because this is a
topic about a lot of remasters.
He was dope when it came toremaster music, so I'll give a
shout out for that.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, so otherwise it's amazing we shouldn't care
about PDD.
He did wrong to mad people yeahman.
This guy's for so many weeks.
I ain't trying to fail anybody.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
You know what I'm saying.
So sorry, apdd, we don't care.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Serve your time but what I do care about is
Allegedly.
You did this stuff Allegedly,allegedly, definitely allegedly.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
But what I do care about is one of my favorite
groups, tricol Quest.
Ladies and gentlemen, they madethe Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
along, mary J Blige, you know.
And then there's a lot ofRocketstar bands that made it as
well too.
So the Foreigners and others.
So shout out to them theForeigners.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
They finally got in.
They got in.
They got in.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
The same all over with Trico Quest nah, I mean you
would think that, nah, theymade it the same with Trico
Quest.
Damn, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was a good year.
I just gave you my notable ones.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
All right, mr Amazing , anything else you want to say?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, I do want to say something.
Remember back there on GatorTraffic.
We haven't done this in a while.
Talk about shows that are outthat we were watching.
There's two shows that I wantMike to watch that I'm going to
be watching.
One is the Penguin.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I know a lot of you guys are probably watching that
show.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It got some great views to watching it so far.
I'm loving what I see In thenext one.
You can catch up on thisanytime.
The new Dragon Ball.
It's on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
Speaker 1 (31:47):

feedback on that soon.
All right, cool.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Look forward to that.
Cool.
I have no shows to mentionright now or movies.
A lot of stuff is out, so I'llwait for Transform 1 to come on
digital, then later on I'll buyit on physical.
But, mr Amazing, before we gointo the show, the Wolverine
they was trying to sell theWolverine I mean Deadpool versus
(32:13):
Wolverine, freaking for like 50bucks.
There's still a book one.
That's crazy.
I was like I don't want to getfreaked out of here, I ain't
paying 50 bucks, I'll justgetting a regular Blu-ray.
I believe it comes out thisweek, this week.
I'm going to pick it up.
I gave it a 7.5.
You gave it higher.
The movie.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
The movie.
Yeah Okay, I don't know what Igave it.
I'm pretty sure I didn't giveit a 7.5.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, I gave it a 7.5 .
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I thought it was good , but not great, very raw.
But you expect that from oh myGod, I'm going blank Deadpool.
Deadpool, yeah, we'll talkabout the actor's name oh my God
, I'm going blank.
But Ronald Reynolds.
Ronald Reynolds, yes, thank you.
You expect that from his movies.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Especially the Deadpool movie.
Yeah, especially the Deadpoolmovie.
All right, mr Amazing, anythingelse you want to say?
No, we'll talk about it in thenext episode.
We'll mention it.
All right, people, this is Gameof Traffic, show we out.
Don't forget to like andsubscribe and keep it real.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Damn.
Are you going to just tease thefans and close out on them like
that?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yes, close out, right now Hit the music we out Later,
later, outro Music.
Let's do this.
Welcome everybody to anotherepisode of the Gamer Traffic
Show.
I'm your host, Mike Sasson,Tilly my co-host, Simply amazing
by doing today.
Everybody get up for Mr Amazing.
Today's Gamer Traffic Showwe're going to talk about Mr
Amazing Yo, the remaster of TombRaider.
They already got set out thisyear, but you know what?
(00:28):
They have another one comingout next year for all you Tomb
Raider fans.
We're also going to talk aboutXbox Halo Studios.
It's going to change the name.
Oh sure, Did I give it up right?
I gave the name up, right, MrMaiden.
It's going to be called HaloStudios instead of 347.
I already gave up the newsalready, but we'll talk a little
bit about that.
We also going to talk about theTransformer movie one.
(00:51):
The sad disappointment for saleGot good reviews, but we're
also going to go in depth inthat.
But, Mr Maze, we're going tostart the show all talking about
the MCU.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's about to get into what Mr Mason Video games,
video games, yeah, man, soMarvel Studios rumor, but it's a
very, very resourceful resource.
Is it a strong rumor, mr Mason?
It is how strong?
I would say maybe like a 75%75%.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
All right, Mr Mason.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So Marvel Studios rumored to make a video game set
within the Marvel CinematicUniverse.
So pretty much it will takeplace in the same universe as
the movies and Disney shows.
So pretty much it's going torun alongside as the big screen.
I don't think it's ever beendone before.
So this is big news, man.
So like what you're playing ishappening on the big screen,
(01:40):
practically it's going to run.
I don't know how they're goingto do that.
I think this might be a bigdisaster.
It can be.
But it can also be a big hittoo, because they got a lot of
stuff you can.
They can go in a lot ofdirections, they can do it.
So this is interesting It'll bea first, a show turned video
(02:06):
game or a big screen convertinggame, but not like on screen at
the same time, where you'recontrolling the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
My thing is like, are we going way back when they
first started the MarvelCinematic Universe?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
That's a good question.
I don't know, or are we?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
going somewhere in the middle and all the actors
that play it.
We part of the video game orare we losing someone else?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Good question.
Those are questions we do notknow, because there's not that
much information on this,because I believe you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
the homeboy that plays Iron man, tony Stark,
robert Downey Jr, he's not goingto come cheap.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know he can't come cheap you know who he is.
You know his name.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
No, he's Mr Marvel saying so it's like Uncle Chief.
So I got to figure SamuelJackson ain't cheap too.
I ain't cheap, mother.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
A lot of yous ain't cheap, but hey, mama can afford
them.
So put it that way Mama canafford them.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
No, back to Samuel Jackson.
Remember Lexus?
Have you know celebrities, youcan talk, man.
That don't even work no more.
I was like yo ask Simon Jacksonfor the weather?
No, ain't work, no more theytook that function off.
I was mad as hell get out ofhere.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But what if you pay for it?
Though, I pay for it.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I pay $4 for that, so then why doesn't that work?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I have no idea, mr Mason yo, alexa, give me my
money back, was it just?
Was it just like a temporarything for like a month or
something?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
no, then you got, I got robbed.
Amazon, give me a gift card, atleast a $4 gift card.
I could lose that for something.
Add it on Outrageous.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I wonder what that is .
You got to Google that.
I got to find out why I'moutraged From Mr Amazing.
Anything else you want to sayabout?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
this, nope, nope, it's a development.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Still the MCU you know, I think it might be high
risk.
It is and, like I said, I don'tknow when they're starting this
from.
So you know what I'm saying.
We'll find out, but you gotvideo games costing over 200,
300 million dollars.
(03:55):
So I'm like hey, who's money ina game that really suck?
You spend $300 million.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Guess what, guess what.
It's not Game of Trap money.
We don't have to worry about it, that's true too?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Can we make more money than that we do?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I haven't got a check cut yet you got to put the work
in Mr Amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I know we do, mr Amazing.
Now I'm going to talk about thenext face of the show.
We're talking about Tomb Raider.
Tomb Raider, lord Croft, thequeen of the raiding Mm-hmm
Raiding tombs.
You could say this is the.
We know the king is Drake.
You could say that People mightsay Tomb Raider came out first
and Drake is like the femaleversion of that you could say
(04:39):
that, or Drake's more popularthan Tomb Raider.
It had a better movie than TombRaider.
I didn't really like the movieUncharted movie, but it made
over $300 million.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And she's also one of the first heroines,
protagonists in games.
I'm not saying she's the first,but one of the pioneers you can
say that for video games.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, one of the pioneers, the biggest pioneer, I
think personally.
Well, we got the princess,princess, princess.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
whatever Zelda princess preach we didn't do
anything but we'll say moreactive hero yeah, metroid,
metroid, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
At that time was a big shock to the female, to the
master.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
She got her hair up like, yeah, what the?
It's a female, I can't playthis game no more.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Some people probably said, but not me oh yeah, I bet
you that game came out now theywould say that back in the days
there was no YV's.
Now these days people wantoverdue stuff.
Get the fuck out of here peopleare so damn stupid and ignorant
.
they just want to get clicks andmake people fight over nonsense
.
But, mr Mason, I digress.
The first Tomb Raiderremastered came out October 18th
(05:42):
, which includes 1 and 3, outthe box Was that October 18th?
18th for the physical one, Ibelieve for the physical A

a little bit.

So this should be good.
You know, this is a game Ishould consider getting Hold on.

But I digress.
Mr Mays, Anything else you wantto say about this?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
No, but this is a perfect time for somebody like
me that liked Tomb Raider butnever got into it.
I think this is a perfect timefor me to get back in the series
, starting off, obviously, withthe one that dropped earlier
this year.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Also, one of the things they include is that you
get to go switch between classicand modern graphics, just like
this.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Really yes.
What do you got?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
coming for them.
He's going to join PlayStationAll-Stars.
The.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
No, mr Amazing.
Yeah, that's a flame.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, they're going to do a remaster of PlayStation
also?
No, they're not.
I was about to say that's mydream.
Okay, the remaster is the Godof War series, mr Amazing.
It already had a collectionalready, but they're saying that
they're going to have a newcollection coming out for the
PS5, which includes the games ofGod of War 2.
(09:21):
God of War Chained Olympus, godof War, ghost of Spartan, we
probably remastered this, and Ithink this, this makes sense,
because what are we reaching?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
the 20th anniversary, so makes sense for you to drop
that.
And on top of that, you got aPlaystation Pro coming out.
We could feature all thesegames.
So it all, it all lines up tome.
So this is I don't think it's arumor, I think it's set in
Stonewall.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's reported by Need for Games.
They were sharing theinformation as well.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, and it's supposed to be done by what's
the company that made Horizonand all those remastered games
Nixis?
Yeah, so it would be them thatdoes all this.
So we'll find out.
It makes a lot of sense.
I don't think it's a rumor.
I think it.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
It's projected to come out March of 2025.
Yeah, it makes sense, it linesup with everything.
So, mr Mays, do you think Ishould keep my PlayStation 3
collection of those games Of?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
course.
Yeah, I might as well keep it,you never know, of course.
Like we said, still rumored.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, with the keyword still rumor.
But, Mr Mays, let me ask youwhat remaster you'd like to see
of games of the early 2000s.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
A remaster of a game from the early 2000s.
I would like to see that's agood one.
I'm going to have to go withthe PlayStation.
What's that?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Oh my God, you might help me.
It could be, Xbox, it could be.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
No, but this is a PlayStation one that I did like,
actually the shooting game.
What's it called?
Was it Syphon Filter?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Oh yeah, a lot of people loved it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I like that game a lot.
A remaster of Syphon Filterwould be dope man.
I wouldn't mind that at allactually.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
For me it would be the Ubisoft Splinter Cell.
Splinter Cell was dope too,it's been rumored.
They posted a come out one, butthat one I would love to see
that happen.
I would love to see that happen.
That game was fine, actually.
Also another Ubisoft game Iwould include, before it went
mostly online service game.
(11:11):
Your brothers would play it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
My brother.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Vegas had a Vegas game Rainbow Six.
Yeah, rainbow Six was nice too,I like the Rainbow Six, where
you control the guys to go.
So so so.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that game.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
That was cool, cause they don't do that stuff no more
.
Yeah, that was fun too, so thatwould be a good remaster.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I would think I would go on top of my head yeah, I
was gonna say like the fightnights, but we got previewed to
Undisputed so it kinda curved mytaste for it.
So I'm okay with that for nowgo deep, go deep.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
you said there was a rumor.
We read somewhere oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Actually it's not a rumor, it's confirmed now.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So EA confirmed from the success of Undisputed.
They thought boxing was a deadman's sport, to be honest with
you, but with the release ofUndisputed they see there's a
big audience and a hunger for itand the sales are amazing.
So with that done, ea hasannounced that their team is
working on a new fight night,which they came out and also
said that it's been in the worksfor a while, but the project
(12:09):
was delayed due to the UFC gamesthat they were investing all
their time in.
So first they projected thiswould come out in 2027, but now
they're saying 2026.
Timeline we don't know.
But the only thing we know forsure is that a new fight night
is in the making.
Should be interestingCompetition.
I love competition.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And this is why competition is good, whether
it's NBA 2K we're talking sportsgames NBA 2K and Madden yeah
yeah, it drives.
There's a lot of features wewould like to see in games that
Madden doesn't put it or 2Kdoesn't really put it and you
know it's the best part abouthaving competition.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So Undisputed is going to have fighters.
Probably he's not going to have.
He's going to have fightersthat Undisputed is not going to
have.
So as a player, you'll be likedude.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I want this guy so guess what you might want to end
up buying the two players heain't got more money.
Remember, the only school I cansee them getting is the big boy
Mayweather.
Of course, mayweather that'sthe only school.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I can see them really getting, but remember like when
, when, like the NBA live waspopping, they had players that
2K didn't have if you rememberwhat players did they have?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
2K, all the both of them.
What players did they have?
Reggie Miller, my friend youforgot already Reggie Miller was
not in 2K.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Reggie Miller was never in 2K.
You forgot Reggie was alive.
Now you're making me overthinkmyself.
Reggie was alive.
Barkley Barkley's won too,wasn't Barkley?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I think that's later on, when 2K just faded, both
players were not on them, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Okay, remember, chris Webber went off for a while too
.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I think he's back now , though, remember after they
retired, then they could do thatwhen they're not retired.
They Yo, you hooked on there.
Okay, okay, okay, the onlyperson I think had the juice was
Michael Jordan.
Well, jordan was in both.
I think he wasn't in one ofthem, was he?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
he's in definitely 2K .
We know that.
Remember the 2K series, theJordan challenges you know they
count that.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They gave him a big check.
Of course, once he retired itwas difficult.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah once he retired a Jordan like this, license his
and plus I'm sure he had theJordan vs Bird game too.
I'm sure there's probably.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I think I had that Atari game, not the Nintendo one
.
Yeah, yeah, did I buy it at theconvention.
I tried, I think I bought it atthe convention it was there.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I remember I was there with you, but you didn't
buy it.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I think I bought it, you bought it, I played it.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I was like I'll play it, you know whatever.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Well, mr Amazing, anything else you want to share
about this topic?
No, that's it for me.
Man People, what remaster youwant to see from the 2000s?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, let us know, man, Let us know Put the
comments in there.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, mr Amazing, let's go to Astro Bot sales and
also video game sales.
Okay, according to Europeandata for September, game sales
were up 20% thanks to severalbig releases, mr Amazing, okay,
and one of the big releases isAstro.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Bot, astro Bot.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And also, mr Amazing, the Xbox Starfield launch.
Sorry, no good news for that.
No good news for Xbox.
Sorry people, it's down 58%since the launch of Starfield.
Sorry, no good news for that.
No good news for Xbox.
Sorry people, it was down 58%since the launch of Starfail.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
As far as console sales, playstation console sales
were down 17% year by year.
Switch sales went up 1%.
The Switch sales keep on going,bro, are you sure?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
From my understanding is the.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm going for the European data for September
Astro Bot sales.
I'm doing general sales in theUS, me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because AstroBot we go for.
Astro Bot sales were 30% higherthan Silent Frontiers and 52%
bigger than Crash 4.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, crash 4, which nobody really cared about, yeah,
but Astro Bot's sales actuallydid better for any 3D platform
game in the last decade except,except the king, the godfather
Mario.
Mr Mario yeah that's the onlygame it didn't do beat, which
that's a hard one to beat,actually, but the fact that
you're up there in topic youneed to get mentioned.
(16:20):
You reach your Holy Grailstatus there, but you know it's
funny.
You took the European sales.
I have the US sales, wherevideo game hardware sales took a
drastic year-to-year decreasein 2024, where hardware spending
fell from $325 million to $208million.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I did a face-to-face too.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, which is a 36% drop.
So you got that as well, andcurrent gen consoles had an
average of 34% falls in salescompared to August of 2023.
But, of course, the biggest hitwas which we're not surprised
was the Switch, which took a 41%drop.
But the only reason the Switchtook the big drop is because
Switch has been out the longestbetween all the systems and
(17:02):
they're literally, literally atthe end of their life cycle.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You know what I found weird?
I'm going off topic.
I looked at IGN, yeah, and theywas comparing the sales of Xbox
X and PS5 to Nintendo Switch.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Why would they do that?
I have no idea Nintendo Switch.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Why would they do that?
I have no idea.
Nintendo Switch has been out solong.
That makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I was like freaking that's Apple to Oranges.
That makes no sense becauseNintendo Switch is going to win.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I was like what kind of nonsense I got to keep
questioning you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
What's going on bro?
Yeah, I wouldn't do thatbecause, Nintendo Switch is
going to win that.
What the fuck?
The Switch came out three yearsin 2017, right?
the Switch came out with the PS4and PS4 Xbox was out yeah, but
it came out in 2017 I forgotwhen the Switch came out,
because the Switch is seven yearshelf life right now, 2017.
(17:52):
These new consoles came out2020, right yeah, because it
came out during the pandemic.
So yeah, three year head starton you, that's.
That's like a million years invideo game life and that's more.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It was more of the PS4 and Xbox era.
I was.
I saw the IGN.
I was like sometimes I gotquestions to IGN.
When they do stuff, he's likethey needed a bait click.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, I was like what kind of crap is?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
this.
You know what I'm saying.
So, yeah, you know what I'msaying.
So, yeah, like I said, butwe'll see how the sales are for
this fall.
Yeah, it should be interesting.
Actually it should beinteresting.
But I think we both discussedwill PS Pro outsell the Xbox
Series X and S?
And I think you said mostlikely.
You said yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You said yes, I think I might have said yes, but if I
did, I might switch my answerto be honest with you, because I
think there's not going to beenough units for it to do that
for that solid season and thepricing is hefty.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
But, like I said, that's a bold statement and I
won't be surprised.
Also, I won't be surprised thatshit happens.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I won't be surprised if it does happen to be honest
with you.
I won't be surprised is goingto help them.
I think that's going to betheir reason.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's not going to make people who own the PS5
turnover go get an Xbox, becausethe PS5 is coming out soon.
Remember that was the argumentI had with you Four, five, six
months later.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, because that's the one I had with you.
I was so mad at Xbox for doingthat.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I was like I feel mad when they made it at their show
.
At that particular show,summerfest it looked like they
put it on the end screen come upfor PlayStation World.
They made a big separateannouncement saying come to
PlayStation World.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I was like what that was upsetting.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
To be honest with you , I don't know why they did that
, but Mr Basie, you know the bigboss at Microsoft say yo, we
spent all this money, son, mrBig Phil you know, Sandra Bond
Yo, we need our money, son.
We need our money, is that?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
going to be one of your Christmas gifts to yourself
this year.
I think I'm going to get it.
Actually, what Indiana Jonesgame?
No, get it for PlayStation.
You don't get it for Xbox.
Why not?
I think this would be a perfectXbox game for you to get back
into things.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I don't know.
I thought about gettingStarfield.
I was interested in gettingthat.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I think Indiana Jones would be better for you man, I
think that's the game that youcould finally be like yo, god
I've been playing the Xbox.
Because it's not a two-playergame.
So I think it's perfect for youto get this.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
for that I don't assume it's not a two-player
game.
No, it's not a two-player game.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's not, so.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
This is perfect, I'll get it, yeah, get it for the.
Xbox For Mr Mason what's up?
Yo yo yo, but I've met Wu-Khanago this year for PlayStation 5.
Sorry, xbox fans, you have towait a little longer.
Not saying you're not going toget it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's crazy that they got away that long.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yo, too bad.
You know what I'm saying.
That's crazy.
Like Mike says, I told you guysdo not come out with a system,
because that Series S, it's agoddamn Game Pass system.
Everybody system, everybodyfreaking knows it.
They should have came up with adamn one, digital one, xbox X,
bigger, $100, cheaper, that's it.
But you know what they want tobe cheap.
(21:06):
They want to make, not cheap.
They're trying to lowereverybody to Game Pass.
I'm going to complain aboutthis for several months.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
They discontinued that what?
No, they discontinued, theystopped making them.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yes, Mr Mason Remember they had an updated one
, the black one.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, yeah, now they're going to come up with
the rainbow color one.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I don't know what I'm saying, mr Amazing, or what I'm
saying right now.
This shit didn't do that, mrAmazing, true, and it's costing
them.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That's wrong.
Please calm down.
It's amazing now, but yeah,it's black people kong, I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So now it's coming out physical copy for the
playstation and it's coming outbefore as much even gets their
version of the game, which sucksbecause over 20 million copies.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, this is a big hit that they're missing out on.
This is one of the biggestsales.
Come on, man this is what I'msaying am I going to switch
before it comes out on the knowXbox at this rate, man?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Might as well, because the rumored price is
$64,000 in the US and I thinkit's $69,000 in the UK.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Oh yeah, but tell me what you told you know.
Tell me what you told me.
All fair about the game, thoughit's going to come loaded.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
It's going to come Fully full game.
It's amazing.
No updates, this is a full game.
You pop it in.
You got the damn game.
Mr Mason, that's cool, you gotthe game.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Did you buy yours or you didn't buy it?
No, I wish I was playing thisone.
Oh, you was waiting.
I wish I waited, but that gamewas so good that I got it even
though I'm not even playing itright now.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I got so many games.
I'm trying new plays to evenwin a couple of matches so feel
happy for Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Let's applaud him, let's give it up for him.
Let's give it up for him.
What a way to beat that game.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All right, mr Amazing , let's go to our trail of the
week.
Mr Amazing, it's werewolves.
Okay, it's not the holidayseason, it's the Halloween
season, so it makes sense.
You know Halloween, so let'scheck this out.
One, two, three, let's do this,Mom.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Uncle Wes, why can't you?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
stay.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
You need me to help them.
Try and stop this.
We're the only family we haveleft.
We got this.
Come on, what are you doing,man?
You should kill somebody.
We are all soldiers.
Now, tonight, when that sunsets.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It's gonna be every man for himself.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
We have a nine-hour window to test and report our
findings.
We hope to see if this mutationcan be blocked.
Let's go with the rules.
Don't open the door for anyone.
Don't hesitate for a second.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Good luck tonight.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Canopy retraction commencing Close the door.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
No more guns, no more guards.
Those things are coming for us.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I'm here, hey, bite me, help, help, help Mr Amazing.
(25:32):
Werewolves coming out December6th, not for a Halloween season,
but for the holiday season perse.
Mr Amazing dropping stuff, hedon't know.
He's so excited about watchingthe trailer he don't know what
to do.
Mr Amazing's dropping stuff, hedon't know, he's so excited
about watching a trailer hedon't know what to do.
And so, mr Amazing, this movieshould have went straight to
Prime, hey.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I'm not going to knock it yet it has like a.
It has the feel of the Purge.
You got the guy from KillerInstinct, the wolf Saber Wolf
from the Killer Instinct runningaround.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I forgot the actor's name Frank.
If I was the last name, he wasin two of the Purge movies.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh, so this is why he's in this movie.
Then Feels like it.
But you got Saber Wolf from theKiller Instinct running around
killing people, but no, prettymuch it looks like it's a kind
of mutations of humans that arebeing affected with it.
And then Every so, every sooften it happens, yeah, and it
transfers to wolves and then Iguess that's where the killing
in the movie begins.
So I'm not ready to go see.
(26:26):
I need to see a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
But I'm just imagining the answer is do you
green light it, yellow light itor red light this movie?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I'm a yellow with the trailer.
I'm a yellow.
I'm not gonna red it, I'm gonnayellow this is how, All right
Greenlight is free.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
If it's free.
If it comes to your primedescription, all right.
Oh, listen, that's Red Light.
It's coming to theaters everysix that movie we, lucky it,
makes $10 million.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I mean what's coming out in December.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I know Mulan's coming out.
You got Sonic coming out.
I think Sonic's going to comeout around that time Sonic 3.
That's going to be hard.
You know what I'm saying.
You got other movies coming out.
That ain't happening, bro.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah, you might be right.
They probably should havedropped that for Thanksgiving
season.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yo, that's a bit of prime, I said for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
to be honest with you , I don't know why they're
dropping Halloween.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That would make more sense.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Halloween.
Drop it straight.
You and I have been wrong acouple of times, so we'll see.
We haven't been hot on thistopic lately, so who knows?
Yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I was talking about it.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I said a lot of movies we greenlight like oh
damn we haven't been hot on thistopic, so contrast for a
greenlight, it's like yeah, butit's not bad.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Though it's not a bad movie, people doesn't come and
see it because, like I saidbefore in the previous podcast,
talking private, I don't know.
Could Michael Bay Universe messup and Beast Wars garbage,
straight garbage.
Son, straight garbage.
So I don't know.
I think the brand has stuck,but hopefully we'll see the
Transformers, gi Joe crossoverhappen.
(27:57):
Let's see what goes from there.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Let's go from there.
We'll see.
But, mr Amazing, all right,let's go to what Should we care?
Top of the week.
Mr Amazing, what's that?
I gave it away, michael Sawyersaid Halo Studios going in a new
direction.
Mr Amazing 347, will be nowbecoming what Mr Amazing Halo.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Studios, halo.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Studios, yep will be now becoming what Mr Mason, halo
Studios, yup, halo Studios, andwhat do you think?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
They did this before.
This is not the first time FromBungie the 343, to Halo Studios
, so it's not.
They have a history.
So they want to rebrand,rebrandish and drop it and make
people forget they've been doingnothing lately and then
hopefully get their attention.
They've done it, seen it before.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
They're supposed to have a crossover with Halo and
Gears of War, am I correct?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I don't know about this.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
This is used to me Halo and Call of Duty Also a
bundle with Halo.
Ghost of Hope, the social mediauser Ghost of Hope.
Well, the social media userGhost of Hope stated this oh, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I ain't hearing about that one.
One thing I did hear about thisis regard that all future Halos
will use the Unreal Engine 5for the next one coming out,
Because you know 343,.
One of their biggest problemswas that they were using an
outdated system when they weremaking their games, so that's
another reason that they did.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
we need to rebrandish this and, like I said, I know
we talked about this before, butwe're just going to go.
Hopefully we'll go a littlemore deeper into it and go from
there as one of our should wecare topics and I both, we both
don't really care.
Yeah, this, it's not really.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Because they've done it before, they've done it
before, changing the stage alittle bit more.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
So it's no big deal.
Another Should we Care topicbecause we just want to talk
about in case you guys missedthe last episode, I believe we
talked about it as well.
Another Should we Care topic isMr Amazing.
Should we care about P Diddy?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
About who P Diddy.
Let me cut that out is this aprank?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
sorry people, we don't care about P Diddy either.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Listen let's keep it frank, real with you.
He introduced us to a lot ofamazing artists, the music that
he dropped, because remember hewasn't rapping on these things.
He was just producing them.
You could say he was the man toremasters, because this is a
topic about a lot of remasters.
He was dope when it came toremaster music, so I'll give a
shout out for that.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, so otherwise it's amazing we shouldn't care
about PDD.
He did wrong to mad people yeahman.
This guy's for so many weeks.
I ain't trying to fail anybody.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
You know what I'm saying.
So sorry, apdd, we don't care.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Serve your time but what I do care about is
Allegedly.
You did this stuff Allegedly,allegedly, definitely allegedly.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
But what I do care about is one of my favorite
groups, tricol Quest.
