amazing how I'm doing today.
Everybody give him Mr Amazing.
You know what?
On today's Game of Traffic show, we're actually going to clap
for Mr Amazing, the last Game ofTraffic show.
We didn't clap for Mr Amazing.
Give it up for Mr Amazing.
Kalash gave a traffic show.
We didn't clap for Mr Amazing.
Get up for Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yo, today's Game of Traffic show.
We're going to talk about thisfollowing topics Mr Amazing,
playstation VR.
Guess what?
Slash in price.
Is it too late, mr Amazing?
We're also going to talk about$100 games.
Will that be in the future,real soon?
Nope, we're getting today'sshow to talk about.
(00:53):
According to IGN article,playstation has sold over 74
million consoles.
Mr Amazing.
Over the past generations ofthe console cycle.
For that, mr Amazing, thatmakes it Mr Amazing.
Over the past duration of theconsole cycle.
For that, mr Amazing, thatmakes it Mr Amazing.
Guess what?
Rank 13 of the all-timeconsoles.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
That's pretty good for a five-year existence.
Yes, going on five years, Ishould say.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And it will surpass Nintendo 3DX that's impressive
by next quarter.
I believe that it's one ofNintendo's handhelds Nintendo
3DX that's impressive by nextquarter.
I believe that it's one ofNintendo's handhelds, nintendo
3DS.
So next quarter they'repredicting that this will happen
.
This was according to IGNarticle, mr Mason.
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
that's an impressive feature.
I mean anytime you makeyourself a history and you're
five years in, going on fiveyears in to reach that number
benchmark.
That's impressive data.
So I'm not mad at that.
Shout out to PlayStation forthat Shout out to PlayStation
for that.
It's a good system.
It is so very well.
It came out the box and blowingeverything in sight and doing a
(02:01):
pandemic and everything it wentthrough.
So put up that.
Numbers in year five going onyear five, that's impressive.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's online to meet the PlayStation 4 numbers, not
bad.
However, it's lagging probably1.5, well, probably, according
to the article, 1.5 million isbehind their predecessor, ps4.
But, like you said, chipshortage.
But like you said, chipshortage, yeah, chip shortage,
(02:29):
pandemic, pandemic.
That probably played the role.
So if that didn't happen, itprobably would surpass them.
Also, the lack of the scalpers.
Also the lack of first-partygames.
Yeah, all that fact, but thatall factors into the same thing
and the live service nonsense ispulling us which was held up
sony's gaming studios producingwhat they know single, single
(02:53):
narrative games.
Mr amazing, do too busy makinggames like concord, supporting
games like what's that formware,foam star foam star.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
We don't even know the name of the game.
We don't know the game name.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It came out this year , no, beginning of last year it
came out.
I think Square Enix wasresponsible for its atrocity.
Mr Amazing, I don't know whatthe world is saying.
Tell people how angry I am.
Control, mr Amazing, hold meback bro.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Like the Rock says, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what they do,man, but I mean, what was I
going to say, Mike?
I mean I don't know what to say.
Actually, I got you fresh upset.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Because yo, I'm upset with Sony.
Yes, they sold 75 million plusconsoles.
So what, mr Maze?
You know what?
We're the freaking games thatwe want to play you over there
chasing live service games, youknow what?
And Microsoft, this is thehonestly.
And Microsoft, this is thechance to really pounce on Sony.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We said that.
I think I said this every year,though.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Last year, okay, all right, but this year, with Sony
chasing live service for thepast couple years, microsoft
would have been in a goodposition to really pounce on
Sony.
I mean, we did a show the otherday, but now, but now, since
Microsoft, let's keep it 100.
Come on, let's keep it 100.
This show Microsoft's the thirdparty.
A third party all right.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I think even their going that route which we spoke
about in the last show.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
We've been said that I always said that, mike, I
didn't mean to cut you off, butI cut you off, that Microsoft
History is being a service.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, that's the route they're going and they
don't have a problem with that.
They don't have a problem withthat.
I think this generally, maybeone more.
We could get one more out ofthem, one more console out of
them After that.
I think that's it.
Oh, that's definitely it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's it.
Maybe one more console out ofthem, and that's it one more
console.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
That's it.
We'll see how the handheldcomes through.
Oh yeah, they've been talkingabout that too, but, as I said,
it hasn't been heating up.
I haven't heard anything sincethen.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I mean we'll see.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We'll see in the next two years we'll find out, but I
feel like with the handheldmarket, because Steam got that
on lock and there's a lot ofdifferent PC versions of that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But I said that.
I even said that when Sony andMicrosoft were talking about
that, I said, yo, they got to doit now.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, and also you got the Switch, which you can
consider a hell too the Lite.
So, like the hell, market'stricky and if I'm going to get
in that market, you got to do itASAP, because it's not a
friendly market.
And it's not a friendly marketand it's one that Nintendo has a
chokehold on, along withdifferent PC variations that we
have out there.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, I don't know it's going to be tough out there
.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
For Microsoft or Sony .
The only thing that will giveSony the leg up is because of
the portal.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Portal yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And I mean, what do you think if they do come out,
if Sony comes out with ahandheld?
Should this call the Portal 2?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But do we consider Portal a handheld?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It is a handheld device.
It's a handheld device.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't know if I could.
It's not a true handheld device, though, is it?
Yes, by definition, it is ahandheld, but it doesn't have
the functionality of a handheldwhere you could go anywhere with
it.
Doesn't have the functionalityof a handheld where you can go
anywhere with it, though.
That's the problem, you can goanywhere with it.
No, but you know what I mean.
Like you need a, what do youcall it again?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
A connection to the.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, a connection to your main system, exactly.
So I don't know if I I don'tknow.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I don't know, mr Amazing, because even with the
Xbox, what do you call the Xbox?
What?
I don't know why Xbox is sofocused the box handheld.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Why is Xbox even so focused on the handheld?
You should be so focused onyour system and get some games
out.
Give me more details.
When's Gears of War coming out?
When am I going to see the nexttrailer?
Why is Fable, supposed to bethe biggest game of the year,
being pushed back again?
Give me more details, man.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I mean, yo yo.
Phil Spencer said it, I thinkit was two years ago when he was
playing one of the handhelds.
I think it was esteemed thathe's really interested in
getting a handheld system forthe Xbox we'll see man if you
feel that's what you need, makesure it's right.
We'll see, Mr Baysen.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Well, all those studios ain't bad for nothing.
So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Bought it for something.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Exactly, so let's get these games going.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's right, Mr Baysen.
Alrighty, let's go to the nexttopic, Mr Baysen yes sir, I
don't know what's next time.
Mr Amazing, I'm just jokingaround people.
The next topic is Mr AmazingPS5.
All right, what do you think?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
What I think about the PS5?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No, you don't want the PS5.
It's finally announced thatForza 5 is coming to PS5 April
29th.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh, so you got a date to that.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, a date to that baby.
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's great news.
That's great news.
I mean, I played Forza 6.
Shout out to my cousin, mike,because he used to buy every
single one, so I got a chance toplay with him on his Xbox when
he had that and I enjoyed it.
So now to be able to play it ona Sony console is going to be
nice.
I mean, it's somethingdifferent besides their number
(08:08):
one.
Gran Turismo, yeah, so it'll besomething different.
I think it's amazing becauseit's one of the top games.
It's literally one of Xbox'stop games, so I think it's a
good look.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
What do you think of the price $59.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Fair.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I think that's fair For an old game.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, it's still.
It's a good game, though wenever, since we were just
getting back Bobo, but on thequality, it's a good game.
It's a great game and it's aracing game.
Those are almost time that youcould say I think it's a.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's out of 49.
I think 59 is fine, man, Ithink it's fine, and you know me
, I'm just a cheat when it comesto these things too.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But for what you're getting in a game like that, I
think it's worth it, becauseit's an endless game.
You could say Pick it up andplay anywhere.
It's something that's you know,it's at your leisure.
It's not like I beat this board.
Nah, man, it's at your leisure,so I think it's it's worth it.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm okay with the $59.99 price point alright, mr
Mason, you know what, as we wastalking about the Steam Deck
sales, I looked it up, mrAmazing.
Uh oh, what's up?
According to the Verge, itestimated the Steam Deck, the
various Steam Deck consoles,consoles have sold, which is the
LCDs.
Lcd the various Steam Deckconsoles that were sold, which
is the LCDs.
(09:25):
Lcds and OLEDs.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And now they're up to OLEDs now, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, so it sold between, let's say, three let's
go into the article by Verge 3.7million to 4.0 million units.
Okay, comparing the salenumbers, roughly Okay, comparing
that, the numbers to previousfigures that the PS Vita sold
(09:49):
roughly 12 million units Wow,within the same time period and
SteamedX been out Wow, that'swow.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Be honest with you.
Steamedx came out when Mr Mason, we can put years now actually.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
SteamedX came out February.
Let me see At least four years.
It hit North America February25th 2026.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh sorry, I can't say 2026 because February sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You got that Back to the Future thing, I don't know
February 25th 2022.
Okay, so it's been about threeyears, so the bird's head
compared to the PS Vita sold 12million units within that time
period.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, but I think, okay, yes, that's impressive and
I'm not taking anything awayfrom the Vita.
I don't think the Vita waspriced as much though.
What was the Vita price tag?
Because you had one.
I think it was $400.
Vita was that much when it cameout.
I think it was $300.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Because it's about the same price.
Then, bro, $300, $400.
Vito was $300.
Okay, so there's two thingsthat hurt it, though.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
This is why I think it's a little bit skewed Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay, so the price point Go ahead, go ahead.
The.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Steve Deck has three different price points Two or
three, it's two, it's two.
I think it was three at onepoint.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It was three, three, now Go ahead, go ahead, yeah, so
all right, let me get to mytalking points.
Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
We can look it up.
So this is why it hurts theVita the price, the student
price points, the cheaper N1.
You don't have that much memoryand there was other features, I
don't know if my head has tolook into it.
That kind of hurts.
So, meaning you to get thebetter, to get more money for
your buck, you have to go formore money, which we all know
for consumers that hurts.
Second, this is the one thathurts them the most.
(11:38):
Why the cells I feel are not asbig is that you can only get
the Steam Deck when it came outand mostly, even to now, is
through Valve.
Valve, where I can just walkinto any Blockbuster, wherever
it was I don't know whatBlockbuster Best Buy, sorry,
best.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Buy Best Buy GameStop Target.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And I can pick one up at the time.
So that's your number onetalking point, because it's not
as easy.
I feel like if the Steam Deckwas around anywhere too, it
probably would sell more units,because think about it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Let me get it.
I'm on the Steam Deck website.
Yeah, okay, for $400, you getthe 256 gigabyte LCD and it's
not worth it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It really isn't.
Yeah, it's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And for $549, you get the we'll say half a terabyte
OLED.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's the one that ideally, that's the
one that you would want to getat the lowest price point, and
the highest price point.
Six something probably.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's 6.9, 650 people.
One terabyte OLED.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, well, that's the one everyone would love to
get, but the mid one at 550 isthe one you want to get, and
then the other one that's theone you get when you're me, and
then like I said, each one ofthem has the Well as you go,
higher so the pluses of eachsystem.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, you know, the higher you go, the longer the
battery life, the betterresolution, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
More memory, yeah, more memory.
And then you go from LC to LEto OLED, so that's a big jump as
well, yeah.
So I mean, if I was to get one,ideally I would want to get the
mid at half a terabyte.
That's the one I would want toget, you know, economically for
me.
Well, actually, economically, Ilike to get the LCD but LCD's
(13:35):
too outdated.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But if you put extra money, you put 100 bucks extra.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You might as well just go for the big dog.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I mean you have to be really big.
It's a big investment.
Yeah, I think it really.
One of my clients have theSteam Deck.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It's a big boy and it's no joke and it feels what I
like about it is it feels goodto me.
Yeah, it feels natural.
I think it personally feelsbetter than the Switch when I
was playing it.
I like it felt better when Iheld it in the Switch F.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
The switch felt better you know the scene is a
man.
It's a man's deck, alright, youknow it's a man.
That's a man feeling.
You know, handheld it felt good.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It felt good.
I can't lie yo you know whatI'm saying, so are you still
thinking about I mean, you goback and forth all the time
about it.
What have you decided?
You decide you're gonna, you'regonna skip on it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It's okay, I watch it , I speak my mind.
Mr Amazing, I'm not here tohurt me If I don't buy it.
If I don't buy it, vile don'tcare.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Vile cares if I give the money to him.
They say thank you, mr Sansom.
Yo, but at one time let's keepit 100.
I'm a big PlayStation fan.
I'm a big PlayStation fan.
I support her.
I barely played Vita, true.
I remember when your son wasyounger, I bought.
What did I buy?
I think I bought one of those.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The Nintendo handhelds.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
What happened to it?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was his, it was his.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't play handhelds that much.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
But you know why I feel this is a little bit
different.
Why Is that?
With a handheld it was dummydown, versus a console.
With these, with the Steam Deck, it's not dummy down.
And plus, I drive mostlyeverywhere.
Well, yeah, that's what for you.
Yeah, Drive mostly everywhere.
But you used to play at work,your other job at night, because
(15:20):
you were two jobs, well, threeif you come because you were two
jobs, well, three should comeand give me traffic.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Can't drop three traffic so help Mike.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
He has already worked one job back in traffic yes,
set a GoFundMe for him too, sohelp him get a second job it's
like quit a second job.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
If I do, if I help out, and when the staffs call
out, I sometimes as soon as Istep in.
So yes, it'd be great.
Sometimes I might bring theSwitch with me and play games.
I should be working quickpeople.
Any of my employees hear thatI'll be working.
Be working y'all.
I'm working, damn it Working toget a higher score.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Exactly Working on that, mario Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Messed up Skippy, but , mr Mason, are you going to get
one?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
We've been speaking for years, bob the class.
I've been wanting one for awhile and then, honestly, I was
gonna.
I was, I was super close togetting the lcd one and then
they dropped the oled.
I was like damn nah.
I was like it's not worth megetting the lcd anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Now I want the oled but we live in new york city and
crime has been up in the subway.
I would not play for the subway?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
it'll be, it'll be.
Some would be on some chillthing.
Where would you play this?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Where would you play this at.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I could play at the house wherever I'm at At work.
At my lunch break.
I could do it too.
At my lunch break I could do itas well.
I could play at the house,because sometimes you know, at
the house you just just chilland play it.
I can make the use of it.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Not paying attention to my mom, got game and saying
Exactly, you're not lying though, or the Knicks are losing.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Exactly.
Knicks are losing Whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Or the Giants are getting the ass whooped.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
They've been getting the ass whooped for 11 years,
man.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
They've been sucking it up lately.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So get something, go play my the big AAA games.
I'm not gonna use it.
It'll be for all the games thatI missed out.
On what?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
indie you gonna play indie games.
Cause Steam Deck.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I might get one or two AAA games too, though but ok
, hades 2, which is coming out,yeah they gonna play Cyberpunk
any big game it has.
I might be lying to you.
I ain't not.
There's a Hello Kitty game.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Hello, baldur's Gate, dude.
I've even seen Civilization,final Fantasy.
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff onthere.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
There's a lot of big games.
No dude, I will get them, butI'm just saying my main, I have
my mains.
For example, god of War is mymain.
I'm not going to be like Dude.
I've seen it on there, I'veseen the modified.
I've even seen Zelda on thereyo.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
It's amazing You're talking about yo.
Why are you sticking your bookon your?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
own.
Like am I going to say his name?
But like the producer who didthe show he goes, I purchased it
and I put it on there.
So he purchased it.
He supported those games, godof War.
He purchased it and then he wasable to mod it to the system.
He purchased it like he said.
So you guys got your money outof him.
I've even seen those on thereand they look amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And we don't advocate Gamer Traffic Show.
We does not advocate that, wedon't advocate it.
But I've seen it, we've seen it.
I've seen it too, so I ain'tgonna say yo, what can I say?
Would I personally do it?
Personally do it?
My nephew's a bootlegger, he'sbootlegging, he's modifying
systems.
I ain't say his name aka ChaiChai, but no, but it's still the
(18:33):
system.
But will you get it?
Will you get it before you comeout with Steam Deck 2?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
that's the funny thing.
It's so funny you said thatbecause I think it coincides.
I think now I'm at the pointwhere I want the price to be
lower.
So I think with Steam Deck 2coming out, I can probably get
that OLED 151 for like 300,probably because they're going
to drop the prices, of course.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Do you think they're going to drop it that low?
I think they will.
No, they won't.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You're dropping a part 2.
You have to.
The LCD was the price of thetop.
It was the top of the price ofthat.
They're not doing that.
They did it already.
They did it already.
Why would they not do it again?
Remember, before the OLEDs wereout, there was three versions
of the LCD, also at the sameprice point.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So what the hell, Go ahead.
Okay, what the hell the SteamDeck 2 is going to cost.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It might be the same price as those.
It it might be the same priceas those.
It might be the same price asthose.
It's just that they're going towhatever new features they have
, those are going to go down.
So I can see the half-tireright now.
It was what?
$550, right, it was $550.
I can see that going down toabout $100 more to $450.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I don't know.
It depends on how you priceseem that too Our price, how you
price Steam Deck 2.
I'll price.
Let's say we keep Steam Deck 2at the same price as the higher
quality Steam Deck now and putthe original Steam Deck OLED at
$400.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
OLED, the You're talking about the.
Oled 1TB for $400.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That's a good price still too.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
And put the new Steam Deck $700, too.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, but you don't have to go up on the price.
You don't have to go up on it.
You can keep the price as iswhat?
Steam Deck 2?
$650.
Yeah, you can keep it at $650.
You can keep it at $650.
You don't have to go up becauseit's like it's a pricey thing
already.
You can keep it at $650.
I mean, if you're going upanother $100, that means you
added extra, more memory.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Something big was added to it as the verse said,
it's within the time periodPlayStation Vita sold more wait,
wait.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I didn't hear you say that again in the same time
period yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Steam Deck's been out .
The PlayStation Vita wasconsidered a freaking lost to
Sony.
Yeah, Sold more units.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, but we discussed why though.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, because PlayStation is a bigger brand.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yes, and also it was more accessible.
Yes, it's true, it's accessible.
I think if Steam Deck was moreaccessible, it would have more.
I'm not saying it would havebeen better than Vita, but the
sales would be better you getmore advertising in the stores.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
It's like the Steve Dex advertiser during Christmas
time.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
It doesn't Remember.
We're over here.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I don't think we see it on YouTube videos.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Even when they had it in the GameStop, I was like, oh
, you guys got Steve Dex, hegoes.
Yeah man, we subbed.
I don't see them anymore,though.
I don't know what happened.
I guess they sold out.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Plus he's in Manhattan, the big city.
So yeah, somebody probably sawYo picked it up.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, of course, of course.
But they had him, but no, I sawthem in Long Island.
They were at the one atRoosevelt Field.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Mall.
It was a big wall.
I can see somebody picking thatup, Not true?
I can see somebody.
Yo you got, oh shoot, you gonnago pick it up, and they
probably have like three.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, they didn't have too much of them, but I did
see them in stores though Well,GameStop to be specific.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
We'll see.
All right, mr Mason, let's goto games, mr Mason, but $100
games.
Yes, Well that would be an Audi, mr Mason.
According to an article inNewsweek Eplon, cd, matthew Ball
says Rockstar Mega Hit couldpush it to the game industry to
(22:17):
strive for $100 games ifRockstar puts their price
between $80 to $100 for the nextGrand Theft Auto, which is
Grand Theft Auto VI.
Mr Amazing, tell me, this isnot so, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I mean, yeah, with the freaking massive development
costs, I can see where theywould want to get $80 to $100 on
it.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
And so when the licensing costs?
But some games, like Spider-Man2, cost over $300 million to
make.
Yeah, some of the Call ofDuty's almost cost close to a
billion dollars to make.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, so they want to recuperate somehow.
How do you recuperate?
You recuperate by the sale ofthe game.
But it would be an epic failfor the industry if they did
that.
It would be a fail Because now,what constitutes as a AAA game?
You know, like what constitutesthe $100 point, $8 point or $6
point?
What constitutes that?
Is it how long the game is?
Is it how long it took you guysto make the game?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Where do we put the licenses?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
What constitutes the thing?
It would be a very bad thing.
And what's going to happen?
Gamers will be resistant tothis.
And what games will beresistant to this?
The numbers are down and boom,you've got a problem now with
sales.
So no, I don't see thishappening.
I do think you can get awaywith $100 games, with very
minimal games.
I think maybe five games atbest you can get away with $100
points.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Let's keep it real.
Yeah, call of Duty is a $100game.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
There's five games you can getaway with, and they're one of
them too.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
you get a couple.
You go online, you get a coupleof maps for Call of Duty and
you get the campaign for 70bucks.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, but you end up buying additional All the
additional stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
you're paying over $100.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, but when you do it in increments like that, you
don't feel it because you'renot buying up for 400.
But when you, if you thinkabout it yeah man, you don't
spend over $100 on there buyingstuff but you don't see it at
the time.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I'm not going to pay the.
That's why I told you, cole,doing four maps online.
Four maps and the storylinegame, the zombie.
I forgot the zombie mode.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
People might not.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
They won't be through that, Because when you see a
one and a zero, you're likeyou're not getting things
different.
It, because when you see a 1and a 0-0, you're like you're
not getting things different.
It's a different feeling, yeah,but let me ask you a question,
because you're a big fan of thisgame Spider-Man 2.
Or just Spider-Man, whicheverone you prefer.
If they told you it's a $100game, would you get it?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
No, exactly it's not a $100 game.
Hey, it's passionately,basically, when they say DLC
pack, it only costs 100 bucks.
Yeah, so that's.
It only costs 100 bucks.
Yeah, so that's no problem.
It's like this is a specialedition, it comes with.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It comes with a statue, it comes with this and
that, whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, you're lucky, you get a statue with special
editions.
Yeah because yeah, but you getextras.
But I got to, I paid for thefirst season pass yeah, you're
paying additional for somethingthat's coming out.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, so I paid for that.
So, yeah, you know what I'msaying but since we're on the
topic, I want to ask you whatare your top, what are the five
games that you would pay $100for?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
it's not many to me, mr man, not many to me, Mr man
Not many Give me your top five.
Man, I don't even have a topfive.
Do I have a top five?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't have five games.
If it's not your top five, giveme five games.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
The only games.
I will say that if I'm a Callof Duty fan, that's the main
game I play Call of Duty, that'sit Straight up.
Remember Call of Duty.
You get a zombie mode,multiplayer matches, getting a
campaign that I can see if I wasa dedicated call.
Do you play?
Yes, I will get that.
Yes, I will get that a GrandTheft.
(25:49):
Auto for the story mode and theonline mode.
Would I pay $100 for it?
$80 I would be willing to playfor, but the content we see they
always come with content yes,but unless even that's kind of
difficult, I guess, grand TheftAuto, what else?
(26:12):
At least there's not many gamesI'll pay $100 for.
That's fine.
I don't have no top five to sayno, I don't pay $100 for.
No God of War.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I would.
I'm not paying $100 for no Godof War I would.
That was one of mine.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
actually I would.
I'm not paying $100 forUncharted.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Uncharted.
Haven't been out so long.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I can't even count that in Beyonce's sheet.
I'm not paying $100 for Halo.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I'm not a Halo guy, so I wouldn't pay that either.
I'm not paying $100 for GranTurismo, I think that one you
can actually.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I think you can.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I disagree with that one.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
If you're going to pay $100, what are you getting
for the?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
$100?
A massive game like that that'sendless with perks and features
.
I think you'll pay $100 for it.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Am I paying extra?
Am I paying extra for the DLCs?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Remember, a $100 game has to give you more.
That's what I'm saying, so likeif I don't pay a hundred dollar
game, for example.
Mr.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Maze.
There's a hundred, there'ssixty dollar games yeah, ten
dollar games.
That's four, fifteen hours, tenhours exactly, I know but I'm
saying games like that are notthough.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Like, for example, this is what I'll pay $100 for.
Go ahead.
I disagree with you.
I would pay $100 for Forza orGran Turismo.
Good for you, I'll pay $100 forit.
I don't mind, I will pay $100for fighting games.
When I see you do it, then Ibelieve you.
Well, that's fine, but you know, if it has to be, it has to be.
I will also pay $100 a seasonpass for the next two, two
(27:41):
season passes.
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, but come on A final game with two season
passes.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You're asking for two season, but you're not getting
a two season pass For no.
Yes, you know, they're notgoing to do that.
They're not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You want my money right.
No For a hundred bucks will youget the first, because that's
how much it's going to costanyway 30 bucks.
It's going to cost 30 bucksanyway for a season, fast, for a
first one.
So yeah, with Costos I'mactually getting the better end
of this deal now but now withthat.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Oh, if you want the special edition, what am?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I saying 150 bucks, 150, probably 150.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So it's like I don't know about that, mr Mason.
I mean, now you're going, nowI'm pushed in the realm of
asking for more money, that'swhy publishers would thank twice
before doing this.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's why I don't think it's going to go there.
I think maybe we'll see $80.
I think that's more realistic.
$80.
I think $80 you can get awaywith it, but $100, that's when
you're like whoa Shout out toGina.
We went and bought StreetFighter 2 for $79.99,.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I think we paid During that time period.
There was a lot of fluctuationin games.
There was a set price, butthere was a lot of fluctuation.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, we paid like $70 for Street Fighter.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Even the PlayStation 3, xbox had a little fluctuation
in games.
There were certain games thatmight cause you might use Matter
of fact.
Let's give a good example mightcall you might use.
Matter of fact, let's give agood example.
Remember to remember 2k madden.
Remember 2k mad, I think alsowas 2k nba.
Remember they came on 19dollars.
Yeah, they stole the market.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
It must have hated them.
They did.
If it's brought up the license,it for like 10, 15 years they
still have it.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
They still got it all right n know right.
They still got it.
Nfl license held hostage by EA.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
So that goes to show you.
And the thing was that you jumpa $20 game and the game is
amazing.
Yes, I have it too.
That game that was the birth.
Nfl 2K was amazing.
Nba 2K look what that turnedinto.
Be that live, okay.
Look at what that turned into.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Be that live.
Do people know?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
what FA Live is.
These people don't know whatlive is anyway.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
People are like what FA Live is.
That's this, Except Tyler.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah well, he's an old head when it comes to
basketball.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
You know what I'm saying, but, mr Payton, you got
anything else to say about thistopic.
Nah, that's it All, right, mrAmazing?
Um, so we both saw the uhPlayStation Showcase.
On that state of play state ofplay yes, so what's your, uh,
what's your take from it?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
uh, okay, I'll start off so few things that I I saw
that I like, I did like uh, ohhold up.
Okay, go ahead.
Shinobi, art of Vengeance yes,that stood out to me.
As you know, I was a take twohead, so I definitely did like
what was it called?
Again?
Spitfunk Fiction yeah, that wasmy game I'll get.
(30:33):
Because of that.
I'm not a big Borderlands fan,but I think Borderlands 4 looks
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
actually I was the same borderland stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
That looked good, though.
Same board and stuff.
I'm sure you're gonna go withWWW.
I'm gonna get that we putlaughs.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I got trade that in get some money for this year.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
We got definitely gotta play that yeah, and I know
you, I know you're gonna run tothe store get the new Sonic.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Interesting it look bad, it look bad.
Where does it come?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
you know, what they come out let me see if I read
that Sonic Bros World.
I don't see it.
I think they had a betarecently that we missed out on.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I think the beta came out last week.
I didn't connect to the otherbeta.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I think the beta came out.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Final Fury.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I didn't connect you like Monster Hunter.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
It looked kind of good.
Actually, I'm not a fan of it,but it looked good though.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
IGN gave you a good review on it.
This is the one I was reallyintrigued, but I couldn't tell
if it's a new one, which Idoubted because it's too soon,
or it was a DLC.
Was the Lies of P?
I couldn't tell either, becauseI was like, is that a new one
already, because I think it'stwo swords, I have another one,
or is this a DLC?
So that looked good, though,and obviously the big one for me
was Metal Gear Snake Eater.
(31:49):
I'd never play that, so thiswould be the perfect time for me
to get that, but that'll comeout to the summertime.
It's going to fall.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Actually, what did you think about the big reveal
at the end.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Shows nothing, cyrus?
Yeah, it didn't show nothing.
Think about the big reveal atthe end.
Shows nothing, cyrus.
Yeah, it is.
Show nothing, so I couldn't gethyper about it.
I thought the game that tiesout of Nalleation that was
interesting game, that was wereyou hyped to see Days Gone.
Did you think you could bringthat back?
For 10 bucks extra?
You could get the Horde nofeatured, all that other stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Launched April 25th.
No, Nah, not for you.
I have the game.
I throw the Horde mode Maybe.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I might dip into that .
What about Directive 8020?
Speaker 1 (32:35):
The game for the woman who plays the Bond movie
yeah.
I might dip into that.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You know what I'm trying to dip my kind of.
I think you could get the firstone as well.
Too Well, this is the first one.
They got the new one coming outin 2026.
Anamusha.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Oh yeah, that's coming out in 2026.
The new one, it look good.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
And then the remastered one comes out.
The PS2 classic one also comesout too.
Did they drop that same thing,or?
Or it's coming, I can'tremember.
Now Anamusha, the PS2remastered version, that's also
dropping.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I don't know if it came out already.
It didn't come out.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah.
Yeah, that looks pretty goodtoo.
I mean, there's other games,but those are ones that stood
out for me.
You had anything to add to itlet me see this one gets what
hell is us yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
and there's another game.
I don't ah, shoot, I didn'twrite it down, I'll think of it,
okay.
Okay, I think I'll let you know.
Metal, metal Eden is like ashooter that ain't too bad
either like a state of play, nostate of play.
This is my overall impressionof the state of play.
(33:54):
It reminded me of the Xboxstate of play, where they every
all they missed was World whenthey announced the World
Premiere.
Yeah, cause only it was a rush.
There's many games there and Ilike that, but the problem is
we're the first party games,true, and I think the live
service thing, that live servicepush, really screws Sony over.
(34:17):
I think when they mention liveservice push, when Jim Ryan
mentioned we'll have 12 orhowever many live service games,
how's that going to work?
Because you're going to haveone player.
You're going to come out onethis year and come out one eight
months later.
So is one going to capitalizethemselves on the other one Good
.
Later.
So is one going to cannibalizeitself with the other one Good
(34:38):
question I mean how you.
So that makes no sense.
So I don't know.
This one is true.
This one is true too.
I mean, what's going todifferentiate that one from this
one?
That's true.
Good question, because evenwith games come on now.
No, I'm sorry.
Lack of creativity in the gameindustry.
Every game looks like afreaking sort of A copy of
(35:03):
another.
Yes, no creativity, my man.
Everybody's walking around withswords.
They're running around withmonsters Jumping in the air.
That's what we see now it is.
There's no shooter, mr Maze.
That's what we see now it is.
There's no shooter.
Third-person shooter.
There's no action game likeUncharted.
I'm seeing the same thing overand over.
(35:23):
You're right.
I got to wait for Doom to comeout and be excited about a game.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I'm not sure what you're saying but that shooter
can look pretty good than whatwe mentioned.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Shooter can look pretty good, don't we mention?
Come on, Mr Shooter.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
But, mr Amazing Metal Eden, that didn't look too bad
to me.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Every game is called something.
You have a sword, you runaround with a female guy.
You run around, you run withyour sword.
Oh look, it's the same thing.
I've been watching the samegame.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yo go make your own mic.
That's it.
I ain't got to make a demo.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Come on, mr Toto.
Come on, how do you feel aboutthat?
I see what you're saying.
Come on, you look at the trails.
How many games you don't seewith Smile, with A Sword running
around?
No, but you're right.
But my thing is, that's always.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
In video times or in a Japanese setting.
Okay, I'm biased because I loveJapanese games.
Come on, mr LK but it's thesame thing.
It's the same concept, but thegames are the same.
Like you play Risen Rona, youplay Go Tsushima and then you
could play Onimushu.
You're going to have threedifferent experiences, though I
kind of disagree with you.
Yes, my thing is, it's so muchyou can do, Like what do you
(36:30):
expect?
Tell, do you expect?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Variety.
I mean, this is variety.
All the other games have avariety.
Yes, well, okay, a remaster Mendon't get solid stick either.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yes, oh, I'm actually hype about that because I never
played the other ones.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I'm hype about it, but can we have someone else?
Can we do something else?
Can we do something else withSpazian?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
I don't know.
I disagree with you.
I'm okay with this.
I'm okay with this.
I'm okay with this movie.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
I'm okay with this.
I'm okay with this.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
It's like movies, it's like it's only so much
movies you can make.
I mean, movies are going to bea love story, it's going to be a
shooter, it's going to be aMarvel.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I mean, yeah, but have the Marvel Cinematic
Universe people Half day, halfday, yeah, look at Marvel still
blowing up.
We talking about the Marvelmovie, the Marvels, that crap.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
You saw that crap they're blowing up still that
movie sucked.
You talking about CaptainAmerica?
No, Captain.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
America movies do.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
The numbers are pretty good on that.
Actually the numbers are right.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Pretty good, Michael.
No, it's not pretty good.
I disagree with you.
No, it last podcast.
No, Mr Amazing, stop it.
That was all right to me theMarvel movies suck, suck.
You're talking about suckbecause of the quality of the
movie or you're talking aboutthe sales.
It's also both the quality andthe sales suck.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
General, you're talking about the recent one.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
The Black Widow movie didn't sell that well Well that
didn't do.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
well, I know that.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Come on, mr Vance, stop the nonsense.
Pew will get burned out.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Well, they keep making it, so it can't be that
bad.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's the reason.
It can't be that bad I mean,like I said, you have a right to
your opinion.
Everybody has a win over.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I see what you're saying, but I'm a big Summer
Ride guy, so I don't mind those,especially the big AAA games,
yeah, but it's like.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
It's like okay For the mid-tier games like Astro
Boss is very good that was verygood, actually Very good.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
You know I love that game, but let me just I don't
want to dwell on this too longyou can see the same thing, but
it's like me saying oh man, theycame out with Street Fighter,
they came out with Fatal Fury,they came out with Mortal Kombat
, they came out with SoulCalibur.
They're all fighting games, butthey're all different types of
fighting games, but at the endof the day, they're all fighting
games.
So it's like so you see thesame thing.
No, you're not seeing the samething, because they're all
(38:49):
different types though.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Soul, that game, that game, socal, is based on
weaponry.
Okay, that's based on weaponry.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
No, but I need more.
I just need Friday.
Against the General.
What it's like if you say I'msaying the same thing?
No, it's not.
They all bring different thingsto it.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
It's just a difficult genre to compare.
It's like saying, before EAtook over Madden, okay, that was
a monopoly.
Though that was a monopoly,there was several different
football games, yeah there wasseveral different football games
.
Yeah, you had, yes, one of theyes two came, but then it became
this mainly two, becauseeverybody else just couldn't
(39:25):
handle it or just absolutelysucked yeah, I'm more good at
disagreeing because I'm okaywith it, as what you're saying
it's not variety.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
I'm okay with it as what you're saying is not
variety.
I find variety in it.
You're saying it's the samething, but I see variety, so
we'll agree to disagree on thisone.
I do see variety in the gamingout there now.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I wish you had a YouTube chat that showed people
father, this is the same thingwe're seeing.
But yeah, but it's okay to dothis.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I don't see nothing wrong with that being the same
thing, as long as it's not thesad same game I'm playing.
It's like if I'm playing Idon't know the name of a recent
game we both played Spider-Manand then I go play Uncharted and
I see Uncharted climbing thewalls like Spider-Man.
Then I got a problem.
Then I got a problem.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
We're going to wrap it up, I don't think the same
thing.
We'll wrap it up All right,we'll continue.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
What's the next?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
We'll wrap it up.
We'll wrap that up.
Let's go to the next topic.
Mr man, this is I can see itright to my opinion, there's
nothing wrong, nothing.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
We're talking Life here was perfect Until one day,

Speaker 2 (43:08):
This place makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (43:22):

Speaker 2 (43:25):
You want me to fight the chicken Chicken jockey?
(43:46):

, Mr Amazing?
Speaker 1 (43:50):
the Minecraft movie starring Jack by Jason Samoa, Mr
Amazing, coming out April 4th.
Do you green light?
This trailer, yellow light orred light?
This trailer, Mr Amazing?
Speaker 2 (44:01):
It's not for me at all, but I'm going to green
light it because of the name.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Why are you lying to me?
You said you're going to seethis on day one.
It's coming out in 3D, MrAmazing.
I'll get it by 3D glass.
I'm going to be chilling you dothat.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
You do that.
You like it.
It is not for me, but I am asmart man.
I'm going to agree like thisbecause I think this number is
going to do.
I think the number is going tobe crazy on this do you think
there's a past Super Mario?
ooh, good question, very goodquestion.
No, super Mario is too big ofan icon, even bigger than this,
even bigger than Minecraft, youknow, and Minecraft is big, we
(44:36):
all know that.
But I think that Super Mariosells itself because you got a
hero, you got a family, ahousehold name in Mario.
Where Minecraft is, what's themain guy's name?
Do you even know it?
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Tyler, what's the guy's name?
Speaker 2 (44:50):
in Minecraft Exactly Steve, exactly you.
The guy's name on MinecraftExactly Steve, exactly you have
to ask about it, steve, you guysshould great-great-grandma
should tell you who Mario is thefavorite plugger.
Ain't nobody know who Steve is.
If you know, you know.
But Mario, everybody knows.
So no, I don't think it's goingto surpass Mario.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
But I think they'll sell Captain America to Brave
New.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
World.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Of course it is Okay okay, I'll try to get a free bet
.
Yo, everybody's going to makean announcement.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
It's going to be a hit.
It's going to be a hit.
I'm going to green light it.
It's a hit, but I'm not goingto see it though, but it's going
to be a hit, Mr Mays is goingto have his friend bootlegged
and put on his machine.
I was never a Minecraft person,but I'm smart enough to know
when you see what's going to%.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
All right, mr Mazin, let's go to our shout-out of the
week.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Uh-oh, we got a shout-out of the week.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
Steph Curry, Golden State Warriors.
Other night he said, yo, yo,you must have forgot.
56 points, Mr Mazin, and a win,Steph Curry still playing 54.
56.
56?
, 56.
Tyler, how many points didSteph Curry score?
56.
That's coming from a GoldenState Warrior fan Inside a fan.
(46:43):
Mr Mason, all right, shout outto him.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Shout out to him, wait 36 now 36, now I think he's
about 36.
Still like the baby assassin.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm not mad at that shot ofthe week.
They were left for dead and allof a sudden, with the trade of
Jimmy Butler, that team isbacking on.
But so yeah, I'm not mad at it.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Don't get mad.
Ups is hiring Dope.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
I just want to say that.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
I don't know why Shout out to Biggie just passed
away too.
Yes, mom just passed away,unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
But Mr.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Amazing.
Let's go to our Should we Care?
Top of the Week, mr Amazing,yes, should we Care Top of the
Week After two years, sony has,two years later, after Sony has
released the VR2, mr Amazing, itfinally slashed the price.
Mr Amazing, march the VR willbe $400.
Starting March 1st.
(47:34):
Mr Mavis is a couple of daysaway Popping off.
Let's pop the bottles.
No one's selling these too damnlate.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Do you think I care?
You guys should have been donethat.
I figured they thought theycould get the sales off the PC.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
So I guess that was not working well.
If they're still snatching theprice, yeah, but the price was
$550 retail.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Was it at $300 or $400?
Speaker 1 (47:56):
It's $400 now, hmm.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
But Sony, do this to yourself.
The biggest mistake you did wasnot making it backwards
compatible.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
That's a big issue.
I still have games for it.
Big problem, that was theproblem.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Yeah, that was the problem, though you should have
made it backwards compatible.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
You made the backwards compatible.
You made backwards compatible.
That system would have sold waybetter.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
I mean a few of them.
I remember I bought it was onsale.
Yeah, you did.
How much did you get?
400?
I got less than this 350.
Speaker 1 (48:26):
350.
Oh wow, less than this manthat's.
It was used, it was cheap, thatwasn't brand new man, that's at
Yo, I snapped it up, son.
So should we care a lot, alittle or not at all about that?
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Not at all, because the system itself is just not
doing well for me.
I'm not going to go down thatroad.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Well, I didn't know, mr Mays, I haven't played it yet
, but I'll have to.
We'll give a better opinion.
Recycle that.
That'll recycle your opinion.
Give me your opinion next week,okay.
Once you try VR?
No, no, it's fair.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
But the reason I gave it that not based on the
quality of the thing, I'm notbasing it on that, I'm basing it
on the fact that it's just toolate.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
I think it's just VR in general.
It's not.
It's not as popular as it was.
Especially when the pandemiccame in the VR world was popping
up.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
That closed down.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
It was supposed that closed down.
They posted a VR big center inConnecticut.
That never happened.
That really damaged the VRwe'll say community and it just
hasn't popped off like peoplethought it would yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
That's why it went.
Not at all, because not becauseof the actual games and stuff,
no, because it's not taking offas it was supposed to and also
the games too, miss Maisie.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
Yeah, it helps, but like Miss Maisie, I was
wondering if you could pick onthe VR system.
Try it next yeah, we'll try itand we'll come back and we'll be
in it.
But, as I would say, I carevery little.
Because is this?
Is this why?
Maybe, maybe one more year,playstation VR, probably?
Speaker 2 (49:52):
unless, unless the PC version is ticking off.
Yeah, let's see yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
So we'll see and probably say they didn't do much
.
They did more advertisement inthe VR.
The first one, that's yourquestion.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
It would never happen .
Speaker 1 (50:02):
It would never happen no, it's not going to Xbox yeah
, do you think?
Speaker 2 (50:06):
if they said you know what, put it on Xbox, we don't
care?
Speaker 1 (50:08):
you think, that would help it.
How many units, but I sold what30 that's true, why, why, why
waste?
More time and resources that'strue, you're right, you're 100%
right.
Alright, people, you say youdon't care, not at all.
A little.
I don't care, I care a little,but I just think it's too late.
But let's make.
We'll give his opinion of theVR and you'll see the quality.
(50:29):
You might just say, yo, sonywasted potential.
But, like I said, sony's faultis just the way VR is going at
this time.
Speaker 2 (50:37):
Yep, exactly that's my take on that.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
All right, mr Amazing .

Kalash gave a traffic show.
We didn't clap for Mr Amazing.
Get up for Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yo, today's Game of Traffic show.
We're going to talk about thisfollowing topics Mr Amazing,
playstation VR.
Guess what?
Slash in price.
Is it too late, mr Amazing?
We're also going to talk about$100 games.
Will that be in the future,real soon?
Nope, we're getting today'sshow to talk about.
(00:53):
According to IGN article,playstation has sold over 74
million consoles.
Mr Amazing.
Over the past generations ofthe console cycle.
For that, mr Amazing, thatmakes it Mr Amazing.
Over the past duration of theconsole cycle.
For that, mr Amazing, thatmakes it Mr Amazing.
Guess what?
Rank 13 of the all-timeconsoles.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
That's pretty good for a five-year existence.
Yes, going on five years, Ishould say.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And it will surpass Nintendo 3DX that's impressive
by next quarter.
I believe that it's one ofNintendo's handhelds Nintendo
3DX that's impressive by nextquarter.
I believe that it's one ofNintendo's handhelds, nintendo
3DS.
So next quarter they'repredicting that this will happen
.
This was according to IGNarticle, mr Mason.
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
that's an impressive feature.
I mean anytime you makeyourself a history and you're
five years in, going on fiveyears in to reach that number
benchmark.
That's impressive data.
So I'm not mad at that.
Shout out to PlayStation forthat Shout out to PlayStation
for that.
It's a good system.
It is so very well.
It came out the box and blowingeverything in sight and doing a
(02:01):
pandemic and everything it wentthrough.
So put up that.
Numbers in year five going onyear five, that's impressive.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It's online to meet the PlayStation 4 numbers, not
bad.
However, it's lagging probably1.5, well, probably, according
to the article, 1.5 million isbehind their predecessor, ps4.
But, like you said, chipshortage.
But like you said, chipshortage, yeah, chip shortage,
(02:29):
pandemic, pandemic.
That probably played the role.
So if that didn't happen, itprobably would surpass them.
Also, the lack of the scalpers.
Also the lack of first-partygames.
Yeah, all that fact, but thatall factors into the same thing
and the live service nonsense ispulling us which was held up
sony's gaming studios producingwhat they know single, single
(02:53):
narrative games.
Mr amazing, do too busy makinggames like concord, supporting
games like what's that formware,foam star foam star.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
We don't even know the name of the game.
We don't know the game name.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It came out this year , no, beginning of last year it
came out.
I think Square Enix wasresponsible for its atrocity.
Mr Amazing, I don't know whatthe world is saying.
Tell people how angry I am.
Control, mr Amazing, hold meback bro.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Like the Rock says, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what they do,man, but I mean, what was I
going to say, Mike?
I mean I don't know what to say.
Actually, I got you fresh upset.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Because yo, I'm upset with Sony.
Yes, they sold 75 million plusconsoles.
So what, mr Maze?
You know what?
We're the freaking games thatwe want to play you over there
chasing live service games, youknow what?
And Microsoft, this is thehonestly.
And Microsoft, this is thechance to really pounce on Sony.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We said that.
I think I said this every year,though.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Last year, okay, all right, but this year, with Sony
chasing live service for thepast couple years, microsoft
would have been in a goodposition to really pounce on
Sony.
I mean, we did a show the otherday, but now, but now, since
Microsoft, let's keep it 100.
Come on, let's keep it 100.
This show Microsoft's the thirdparty.
A third party all right.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I think even their going that route which we spoke
about in the last show.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
We've been said that I always said that, mike, I
didn't mean to cut you off, butI cut you off, that Microsoft
History is being a service.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, that's the route they're going and they
don't have a problem with that.
They don't have a problem withthat.
I think this generally, maybeone more.
We could get one more out ofthem, one more console out of
them After that.
I think that's it.
Oh, that's definitely it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's it.
Maybe one more console out ofthem, and that's it one more
console.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
That's it.
We'll see how the handheldcomes through.
Oh yeah, they've been talkingabout that too, but, as I said,
it hasn't been heating up.
I haven't heard anything sincethen.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I mean we'll see.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We'll see in the next two years we'll find out, but I
feel like with the handheldmarket, because Steam got that
on lock and there's a lot ofdifferent PC versions of that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But I said that.
I even said that when Sony andMicrosoft were talking about
that, I said, yo, they got to doit now.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, and also you got the Switch, which you can
consider a hell too the Lite.
So, like the hell, market'stricky and if I'm going to get
in that market, you got to do itASAP, because it's not a
friendly market.
And it's not a friendly marketand it's one that Nintendo has a
chokehold on, along withdifferent PC variations that we
have out there.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, I don't know it's going to be tough out there
.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
For Microsoft or Sony .
The only thing that will giveSony the leg up is because of
the portal.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Portal yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And I mean, what do you think if they do come out,
if Sony comes out with ahandheld?
Should this call the Portal 2?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But do we consider Portal a handheld?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It is a handheld device.
It's a handheld device.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't know if I could.
It's not a true handheld device, though, is it?
Yes, by definition, it is ahandheld, but it doesn't have
the functionality of a handheldwhere you could go anywhere with
it.
Doesn't have the functionalityof a handheld where you can go
anywhere with it, though.
That's the problem, you can goanywhere with it.
No, but you know what I mean.
Like you need a, what do youcall it again?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
A connection to the.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, a connection to your main system, exactly.
So I don't know if I I don'tknow.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I don't know, mr Amazing, because even with the
Xbox, what do you call the Xbox?
What?
I don't know why Xbox is sofocused the box handheld.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Why is Xbox even so focused on the handheld?
You should be so focused onyour system and get some games
out.
Give me more details.
When's Gears of War coming out?
When am I going to see the nexttrailer?
Why is Fable, supposed to bethe biggest game of the year,
being pushed back again?
Give me more details, man.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I mean, yo yo.
Phil Spencer said it, I thinkit was two years ago when he was
playing one of the handhelds.
I think it was esteemed thathe's really interested in
getting a handheld system forthe Xbox we'll see man if you
feel that's what you need, makesure it's right.
We'll see, Mr Baysen.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Well, all those studios ain't bad for nothing.
So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Bought it for something.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Exactly, so let's get these games going.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's right, Mr Baysen.
Alrighty, let's go to the nexttopic, Mr Baysen yes sir, I
don't know what's next time.
Mr Amazing, I'm just jokingaround people.
The next topic is Mr AmazingPS5.
All right, what do you think?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
What I think about the PS5?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No, you don't want the PS5.
It's finally announced thatForza 5 is coming to PS5 April
29th.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh, so you got a date to that.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, a date to that baby.
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's great news.
That's great news.
I mean, I played Forza 6.
Shout out to my cousin, mike,because he used to buy every
single one, so I got a chance toplay with him on his Xbox when
he had that and I enjoyed it.
So now to be able to play it ona Sony console is going to be
nice.
I mean, it's somethingdifferent besides their number
(08:08):
one.
Gran Turismo, yeah, so it'll besomething different.
I think it's amazing becauseit's one of the top games.
It's literally one of Xbox'stop games, so I think it's a
good look.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
What do you think of the price $59.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Fair.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I think that's fair For an old game.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, it's still.
It's a good game, though wenever, since we were just
getting back Bobo, but on thequality, it's a good game.
It's a great game and it's aracing game.
Those are almost time that youcould say I think it's a.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's out of 49.
I think 59 is fine, man, Ithink it's fine, and you know me
, I'm just a cheat when it comesto these things too.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But for what you're getting in a game like that, I
think it's worth it, becauseit's an endless game.
You could say Pick it up andplay anywhere.
It's something that's you know,it's at your leisure.
It's not like I beat this board.
Nah, man, it's at your leisure,so I think it's it's worth it.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm okay with the $59.99 price point alright, mr
Mason, you know what, as we wastalking about the Steam Deck
sales, I looked it up, mrAmazing.
Uh oh, what's up?
According to the Verge, itestimated the Steam Deck, the
various Steam Deck consoles,consoles have sold, which is the
LCDs.
Lcd the various Steam Deckconsoles that were sold, which
is the LCDs.
(09:25):
Lcds and OLEDs.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And now they're up to OLEDs now, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, so it sold between, let's say, three let's
go into the article by Verge 3.7million to 4.0 million units.
Okay, comparing the salenumbers, roughly Okay, comparing
that, the numbers to previousfigures that the PS Vita sold
(09:49):
roughly 12 million units Wow,within the same time period and
SteamedX been out Wow, that'swow.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Be honest with you.
Steamedx came out when Mr Mason, we can put years now actually.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
SteamedX came out February.
Let me see At least four years.
It hit North America February25th 2026.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh sorry, I can't say 2026 because February sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You got that Back to the Future thing, I don't know
February 25th 2022.
Okay, so it's been about threeyears, so the bird's head
compared to the PS Vita sold 12million units within that time
period.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, but I think, okay, yes, that's impressive and
I'm not taking anything awayfrom the Vita.
I don't think the Vita waspriced as much though.
What was the Vita price tag?
Because you had one.
I think it was $400.
Vita was that much when it cameout.
I think it was $300.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Because it's about the same price.
Then, bro, $300, $400.
Vito was $300.
Okay, so there's two thingsthat hurt it, though.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
This is why I think it's a little bit skewed Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay, so the price point Go ahead, go ahead.
The.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Steve Deck has three different price points Two or
three, it's two, it's two.
I think it was three at onepoint.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It was three, three, now Go ahead, go ahead, yeah, so
all right, let me get to mytalking points.
Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
We can look it up.
So this is why it hurts theVita the price, the student
price points, the cheaper N1.
You don't have that much memoryand there was other features, I
don't know if my head has tolook into it.
That kind of hurts.
So, meaning you to get thebetter, to get more money for
your buck, you have to go formore money, which we all know
for consumers that hurts.
Second, this is the one thathurts them the most.
(11:38):
Why the cells I feel are not asbig is that you can only get
the Steam Deck when it came outand mostly, even to now, is
through Valve.
Valve, where I can just walkinto any Blockbuster, wherever
it was I don't know whatBlockbuster Best Buy, sorry,
best.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Buy Best Buy GameStop Target.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And I can pick one up at the time.
So that's your number onetalking point, because it's not
as easy.
I feel like if the Steam Deckwas around anywhere too, it
probably would sell more units,because think about it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Let me get it.
I'm on the Steam Deck website.
Yeah, okay, for $400, you getthe 256 gigabyte LCD and it's
not worth it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It really isn't.
Yeah, it's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And for $549, you get the we'll say half a terabyte
OLED.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's the one that ideally, that's the
one that you would want to getat the lowest price point, and
the highest price point.
Six something probably.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's 6.9, 650 people.
One terabyte OLED.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, well, that's the one everyone would love to
get, but the mid one at 550 isthe one you want to get, and
then the other one that's theone you get when you're me, and
then like I said, each one ofthem has the Well as you go,
higher so the pluses of eachsystem.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, you know, the higher you go, the longer the
battery life, the betterresolution, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
More memory, yeah, more memory.
And then you go from LC to LEto OLED, so that's a big jump as
well, yeah.
So I mean, if I was to get one,ideally I would want to get the
mid at half a terabyte.
That's the one I would want toget, you know, economically for
me.
Well, actually, economically, Ilike to get the LCD but LCD's
(13:35):
too outdated.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But if you put extra money, you put 100 bucks extra.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You might as well just go for the big dog.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I mean you have to be really big.
It's a big investment.
Yeah, I think it really.
One of my clients have theSteam Deck.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It's a big boy and it's no joke and it feels what I
like about it is it feels goodto me.
Yeah, it feels natural.
I think it personally feelsbetter than the Switch when I
was playing it.
I like it felt better when Iheld it in the Switch F.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
The switch felt better you know the scene is a
man.
It's a man's deck, alright, youknow it's a man.
That's a man feeling.
You know, handheld it felt good.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It felt good.
I can't lie yo you know whatI'm saying, so are you still
thinking about I mean, you goback and forth all the time
about it.
What have you decided?
You decide you're gonna, you'regonna skip on it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It's okay, I watch it , I speak my mind.
Mr Amazing, I'm not here tohurt me If I don't buy it.
If I don't buy it, vile don'tcare.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Vile cares if I give the money to him.
They say thank you, mr Sansom.
Yo, but at one time let's keepit 100.
I'm a big PlayStation fan.
I'm a big PlayStation fan.
I support her.
I barely played Vita, true.
I remember when your son wasyounger, I bought.
What did I buy?
I think I bought one of those.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The Nintendo handhelds.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
What happened to it?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was his, it was his.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't play handhelds that much.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
But you know why I feel this is a little bit
different.
Why Is that?
With a handheld it was dummydown, versus a console.
With these, with the Steam Deck, it's not dummy down.
And plus, I drive mostlyeverywhere.
Well, yeah, that's what for you.
Yeah, Drive mostly everywhere.
But you used to play at work,your other job at night, because
(15:20):
you were two jobs, well, threeif you come because you were two
jobs, well, three should comeand give me traffic.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Can't drop three traffic so help Mike.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
He has already worked one job back in traffic yes,
set a GoFundMe for him too, sohelp him get a second job it's
like quit a second job.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
If I do, if I help out, and when the staffs call
out, I sometimes as soon as Istep in.
So yes, it'd be great.
Sometimes I might bring theSwitch with me and play games.
I should be working quickpeople.
Any of my employees hear thatI'll be working.
Be working y'all.
I'm working, damn it Working toget a higher score.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Exactly Working on that, mario Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Messed up Skippy, but , mr Mason, are you going to get
one?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
We've been speaking for years, bob the class.
I've been wanting one for awhile and then, honestly, I was
gonna.
I was, I was super close togetting the lcd one and then
they dropped the oled.
I was like damn nah.
I was like it's not worth megetting the lcd anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Now I want the oled but we live in new york city and
crime has been up in the subway.
I would not play for the subway?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
it'll be, it'll be.
Some would be on some chillthing.
Where would you play this?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Where would you play this at.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I could play at the house wherever I'm at At work.
At my lunch break.
I could do it too.
At my lunch break I could do itas well.
I could play at the house,because sometimes you know, at
the house you just just chilland play it.
I can make the use of it.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Not paying attention to my mom, got game and saying
Exactly, you're not lying though, or the Knicks are losing.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Exactly.
Knicks are losing Whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Or the Giants are getting the ass whooped.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
They've been getting the ass whooped for 11 years,
man.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
They've been sucking it up lately.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So get something, go play my the big AAA games.
I'm not gonna use it.
It'll be for all the games thatI missed out.
On what?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
indie you gonna play indie games.
Cause Steam Deck.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I might get one or two AAA games too, though but ok
, hades 2, which is coming out,yeah they gonna play Cyberpunk
any big game it has.
I might be lying to you.
I ain't not.
There's a Hello Kitty game.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Hello, baldur's Gate, dude.
I've even seen Civilization,final Fantasy.
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff onthere.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
There's a lot of big games.
No dude, I will get them, butI'm just saying my main, I have
my mains.
For example, god of War is mymain.
I'm not going to be like Dude.
I've seen it on there, I'veseen the modified.
I've even seen Zelda on thereyo.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
It's amazing You're talking about yo.
Why are you sticking your bookon your?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
own.
Like am I going to say his name?
But like the producer who didthe show he goes, I purchased it
and I put it on there.
So he purchased it.
He supported those games, godof War.
He purchased it and then he wasable to mod it to the system.
He purchased it like he said.
So you guys got your money outof him.
I've even seen those on thereand they look amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And we don't advocate Gamer Traffic Show.
We does not advocate that, wedon't advocate it.
But I've seen it, we've seen it.
I've seen it too, so I ain'tgonna say yo, what can I say?
Would I personally do it?
Personally do it?
My nephew's a bootlegger, he'sbootlegging, he's modifying
systems.
I ain't say his name aka ChaiChai, but no, but it's still the
(18:33):
system.
But will you get it?
Will you get it before you comeout with Steam Deck 2?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
that's the funny thing.
It's so funny you said thatbecause I think it coincides.
I think now I'm at the pointwhere I want the price to be
lower.
So I think with Steam Deck 2coming out, I can probably get
that OLED 151 for like 300,probably because they're going
to drop the prices, of course.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Do you think they're going to drop it that low?
I think they will.
No, they won't.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You're dropping a part 2.
You have to.
The LCD was the price of thetop.
It was the top of the price ofthat.
They're not doing that.
They did it already.
They did it already.
Why would they not do it again?
Remember, before the OLEDs wereout, there was three versions
of the LCD, also at the sameprice point.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So what the hell, Go ahead.
Okay, what the hell the SteamDeck 2 is going to cost.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It might be the same price as those.
It it might be the same priceas those.
It might be the same price asthose.
It's just that they're going towhatever new features they have
, those are going to go down.
So I can see the half-tireright now.
It was what?
$550, right, it was $550.
I can see that going down toabout $100 more to $450.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I don't know.
It depends on how you priceseem that too Our price, how you
price Steam Deck 2.
I'll price.
Let's say we keep Steam Deck 2at the same price as the higher
quality Steam Deck now and putthe original Steam Deck OLED at
$400.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
OLED, the You're talking about the.
Oled 1TB for $400.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That's a good price still too.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
And put the new Steam Deck $700, too.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, but you don't have to go up on the price.
You don't have to go up on it.
You can keep the price as iswhat?
Steam Deck 2?
$650.
Yeah, you can keep it at $650.
You can keep it at $650.
You don't have to go up becauseit's like it's a pricey thing
already.
You can keep it at $650.
I mean, if you're going upanother $100, that means you
added extra, more memory.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Something big was added to it as the verse said,
it's within the time periodPlayStation Vita sold more wait,
wait.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I didn't hear you say that again in the same time
period yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Steam Deck's been out .
The PlayStation Vita wasconsidered a freaking lost to
Sony.
Yeah, Sold more units.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, but we discussed why though.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, because PlayStation is a bigger brand.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yes, and also it was more accessible.
Yes, it's true, it's accessible.
I think if Steam Deck was moreaccessible, it would have more.
I'm not saying it would havebeen better than Vita, but the
sales would be better you getmore advertising in the stores.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
It's like the Steve Dex advertiser during Christmas
time.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
It doesn't Remember.
We're over here.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I don't think we see it on YouTube videos.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Even when they had it in the GameStop, I was like, oh
, you guys got Steve Dex, hegoes.
Yeah man, we subbed.
I don't see them anymore,though.
I don't know what happened.
I guess they sold out.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Plus he's in Manhattan, the big city.
So yeah, somebody probably sawYo picked it up.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, of course, of course.
But they had him, but no, I sawthem in Long Island.
They were at the one atRoosevelt Field.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Mall.
It was a big wall.
I can see somebody picking thatup, Not true?
I can see somebody.
Yo you got, oh shoot, you gonnago pick it up, and they
probably have like three.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, they didn't have too much of them, but I did
see them in stores though Well,GameStop to be specific.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
We'll see.
All right, mr Mason, let's goto games, mr Mason, but $100
games.
Yes, Well that would be an Audi, mr Mason.
According to an article inNewsweek Eplon, cd, matthew Ball
says Rockstar Mega Hit couldpush it to the game industry to
(22:17):
strive for $100 games ifRockstar puts their price
between $80 to $100 for the nextGrand Theft Auto, which is
Grand Theft Auto VI.
Mr Amazing, tell me, this isnot so, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I mean, yeah, with the freaking massive development
costs, I can see where theywould want to get $80 to $100 on
it.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
And so when the licensing costs?
But some games, like Spider-Man2, cost over $300 million to
make.
Yeah, some of the Call ofDuty's almost cost close to a
billion dollars to make.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, so they want to recuperate somehow.
How do you recuperate?
You recuperate by the sale ofthe game.
But it would be an epic failfor the industry if they did
that.
It would be a fail Because now,what constitutes as a AAA game?
You know, like what constitutesthe $100 point, $8 point or $6
point?
What constitutes that?
Is it how long the game is?
Is it how long it took you guysto make the game?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Where do we put the licenses?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
What constitutes the thing?
It would be a very bad thing.
And what's going to happen?
Gamers will be resistant tothis.
And what games will beresistant to this?
The numbers are down and boom,you've got a problem now with
sales.
So no, I don't see thishappening.
I do think you can get awaywith $100 games, with very
minimal games.
I think maybe five games atbest you can get away with $100
points.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Let's keep it real.
Yeah, call of Duty is a $100game.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
There's five games you can getaway with, and they're one of
them too.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
you get a couple.
You go online, you get a coupleof maps for Call of Duty and
you get the campaign for 70bucks.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, but you end up buying additional All the
additional stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
you're paying over $100.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, but when you do it in increments like that, you
don't feel it because you'renot buying up for 400.
But when you, if you thinkabout it yeah man, you don't
spend over $100 on there buyingstuff but you don't see it at
the time.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I'm not going to pay the.
That's why I told you, cole,doing four maps online.
Four maps and the storylinegame, the zombie.
I forgot the zombie mode.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
People might not.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
They won't be through that, Because when you see a
one and a zero, you're likeyou're not getting things
different.
It, because when you see a 1and a 0-0, you're like you're
not getting things different.
It's a different feeling, yeah,but let me ask you a question,
because you're a big fan of thisgame Spider-Man 2.
Or just Spider-Man, whicheverone you prefer.
If they told you it's a $100game, would you get it?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
No, exactly it's not a $100 game.
Hey, it's passionately,basically, when they say DLC
pack, it only costs 100 bucks.
Yeah, so that's.
It only costs 100 bucks.
Yeah, so that's no problem.
It's like this is a specialedition, it comes with.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It comes with a statue, it comes with this and
that, whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, you're lucky, you get a statue with special
editions.
Yeah because yeah, but you getextras.
But I got to, I paid for thefirst season pass yeah, you're
paying additional for somethingthat's coming out.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, so I paid for that.
So, yeah, you know what I'msaying but since we're on the
topic, I want to ask you whatare your top, what are the five
games that you would pay $100for?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
it's not many to me, mr man, not many to me, Mr man
Not many Give me your top five.
Man, I don't even have a topfive.
Do I have a top five?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't have five games.
If it's not your top five, giveme five games.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
The only games.
I will say that if I'm a Callof Duty fan, that's the main
game I play Call of Duty, that'sit Straight up.
Remember Call of Duty.
You get a zombie mode,multiplayer matches, getting a
campaign that I can see if I wasa dedicated call.
Do you play?
Yes, I will get that.
Yes, I will get that a GrandTheft.
(25:49):
Auto for the story mode and theonline mode.
Would I pay $100 for it?
$80 I would be willing to playfor, but the content we see they
always come with content yes,but unless even that's kind of
difficult, I guess, grand TheftAuto, what else?
(26:12):
At least there's not many gamesI'll pay $100 for.
That's fine.
I don't have no top five to sayno, I don't pay $100 for.
No God of War.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I would.
I'm not paying $100 for no Godof War I would.
That was one of mine.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
actually I would.
I'm not paying $100 forUncharted.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Uncharted.
Haven't been out so long.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I can't even count that in Beyonce's sheet.
I'm not paying $100 for Halo.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I'm not a Halo guy, so I wouldn't pay that either.
I'm not paying $100 for GranTurismo, I think that one you
can actually.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I think you can.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I disagree with that one.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
If you're going to pay $100, what are you getting
for the?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
$100?
A massive game like that that'sendless with perks and features
.
I think you'll pay $100 for it.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Am I paying extra?
Am I paying extra for the DLCs?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Remember, a $100 game has to give you more.
That's what I'm saying, so likeif I don't pay a hundred dollar
game, for example.
Mr.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Maze.
There's a hundred, there'ssixty dollar games yeah, ten
dollar games.
That's four, fifteen hours, tenhours exactly, I know but I'm
saying games like that are notthough.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Like, for example, this is what I'll pay $100 for.
Go ahead.
I disagree with you.
I would pay $100 for Forza orGran Turismo.
Good for you, I'll pay $100 forit.
I don't mind, I will pay $100for fighting games.
When I see you do it, then Ibelieve you.
Well, that's fine, but you know, if it has to be, it has to be.
I will also pay $100 a seasonpass for the next two, two
(27:41):
season passes.
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, but come on A final game with two season
passes.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You're asking for two season, but you're not getting
a two season pass For no.
Yes, you know, they're notgoing to do that.
They're not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You want my money right.
No For a hundred bucks will youget the first, because that's
how much it's going to costanyway 30 bucks.
It's going to cost 30 bucksanyway for a season, fast, for a
first one.
So yeah, with Costos I'mactually getting the better end
of this deal now but now withthat.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Oh, if you want the special edition, what am?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I saying 150 bucks, 150, probably 150.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So it's like I don't know about that, mr Mason.
I mean, now you're going, nowI'm pushed in the realm of
asking for more money, that'swhy publishers would thank twice
before doing this.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's why I don't think it's going to go there.
I think maybe we'll see $80.
I think that's more realistic.
$80.
I think $80 you can get awaywith it, but $100, that's when
you're like whoa Shout out toGina.
We went and bought StreetFighter 2 for $79.99,.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I think we paid During that time period.
There was a lot of fluctuationin games.
There was a set price, butthere was a lot of fluctuation.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, we paid like $70 for Street Fighter.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Even the PlayStation 3, xbox had a little fluctuation
in games.
There were certain games thatmight cause you might use Matter
of fact.
Let's give a good example mightcall you might use.
Matter of fact, let's give agood example.
Remember to remember 2k madden.
Remember 2k mad, I think alsowas 2k nba.
Remember they came on 19dollars.
Yeah, they stole the market.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
It must have hated them.
They did.
If it's brought up the license,it for like 10, 15 years they
still have it.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
They still got it all right n know right.
They still got it.
Nfl license held hostage by EA.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
So that goes to show you.
And the thing was that you jumpa $20 game and the game is
amazing.
Yes, I have it too.
That game that was the birth.
Nfl 2K was amazing.
Nba 2K look what that turnedinto.
Be that live, okay.
Look at what that turned into.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Be that live.
Do people know?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
what FA Live is.
These people don't know whatlive is anyway.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
People are like what FA Live is.
That's this, Except Tyler.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah well, he's an old head when it comes to
basketball.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
You know what I'm saying, but, mr Payton, you got
anything else to say about thistopic.
Nah, that's it All, right, mrAmazing?
Um, so we both saw the uhPlayStation Showcase.
On that state of play state ofplay yes, so what's your, uh,
what's your take from it?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
uh, okay, I'll start off so few things that I I saw
that I like, I did like uh, ohhold up.
Okay, go ahead.
Shinobi, art of Vengeance yes,that stood out to me.
As you know, I was a take twohead, so I definitely did like
what was it called?
Again?
Spitfunk Fiction yeah, that wasmy game I'll get.
(30:33):
Because of that.
I'm not a big Borderlands fan,but I think Borderlands 4 looks
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
actually I was the same borderland stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
That looked good, though.
Same board and stuff.
I'm sure you're gonna go withWWW.

that Sonic Bros World.
I don't see it.
I think they had a betarecently that we missed out on.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I think the beta came out last week.
I didn't connect to the otherbeta.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I think the beta came out.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
It looked kind of good.
Actually, I'm not a fan of it,but it looked good though.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
IGN gave you a good review on it.
This is the one I was reallyintrigued, but I couldn't tell
if it's a new one, which Idoubted because it's too soon,
or it was a DLC.
Was the Lies of P?
I couldn't tell either, becauseI was like, is that a new one
already, because I think it'stwo swords, I have another one,
or is this a DLC?
So that looked good, though,and obviously the big one for me
was Metal Gear Snake Eater.
(31:49):
I'd never play that, so thiswould be the perfect time for me
to get that, but that'll comeout to the summertime.
It's going to fall.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Actually, what did you think about the big reveal
at the end.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Shows nothing, cyrus?
Yeah, it didn't show nothing.
Think about the big reveal atthe end.
Shows nothing, cyrus.
Yeah, it is.
Show nothing, so I couldn't gethyper about it.
I thought the game that tiesout of Nalleation that was
interesting game, that was wereyou hyped to see Days Gone.
Did you think you could bringthat back?
For 10 bucks extra?
You could get the Horde nofeatured, all that other stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Launched April 25th.
No, Nah, not for you.
I have the game.
I throw the Horde mode Maybe.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I might dip into that .
What about Directive 8020?
Speaker 1 (32:35):
The game for the woman who plays the Bond movie
yeah.
I might dip into that.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You know what I'm trying to dip my kind of.
I think you could get the firstone as well.
Too Well, this is the first one.
They got the new one coming outin 2026.
Anamusha.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Oh yeah, that's coming out in 2026.
The new one, it look good.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
And then the remastered one comes out.
The PS2 classic one also comesout too.
Did they drop that same thing,or?
Or it's coming, I can'tremember.
Now Anamusha, the PS2remastered version, that's also
dropping.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I don't know if it came out already.
It didn't come out.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah.
Yeah, that looks pretty goodtoo.
I mean, there's other games,but those are ones that stood
out for me.
You had anything to add to itlet me see this one gets what
hell is us yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
and there's another game.
I don't ah, shoot, I didn'twrite it down, I'll think of it,
okay.
Okay, I think I'll let you know.
Metal, metal Eden is like ashooter that ain't too bad
either like a state of play, nostate of play.
This is my overall impressionof the state of play.
(33:54):
It reminded me of the Xboxstate of play, where they every
all they missed was World whenthey announced the World
Premiere.
Yeah, cause only it was a rush.
There's many games there and Ilike that, but the problem is
we're the first party games,true, and I think the live
service thing, that live servicepush, really screws Sony over.
(34:17):
I think when they mention liveservice push, when Jim Ryan
mentioned we'll have 12 orhowever many live service games,
how's that going to work?
Because you're going to haveone player.
You're going to come out onethis year and come out one eight
months later.
So is one going to capitalizethemselves on the other one Good
.
Later.
So is one going to cannibalizeitself with the other one Good
(34:38):
question I mean how you.
So that makes no sense.
So I don't know.
This one is true.
This one is true too.
I mean, what's going todifferentiate that one from this
one?
That's true.
Good question, because evenwith games come on now.
No, I'm sorry.
Lack of creativity in the gameindustry.
Every game looks like afreaking sort of A copy of
(35:03):
another.
Yes, no creativity, my man.
Everybody's walking around withswords.
They're running around withmonsters Jumping in the air.
That's what we see now it is.
There's no shooter, mr Maze.
That's what we see now it is.
There's no shooter.
Third-person shooter.
There's no action game likeUncharted.
I'm seeing the same thing overand over.
(35:23):
You're right.
I got to wait for Doom to comeout and be excited about a game.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I'm not sure what you're saying but that shooter
can look pretty good than whatwe mentioned.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Shooter can look pretty good, don't we mention?
Come on, Mr Shooter.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
But, mr Amazing Metal Eden, that didn't look too bad
to me.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Every game is called something.
You have a sword, you runaround with a female guy.
You run around, you run withyour sword.
Oh look, it's the same thing.
I've been watching the samegame.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yo go make your own mic.
That's it.
I ain't got to make a demo.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Come on, mr Toto.
Come on, how do you feel aboutthat?
I see what you're saying.
Come on, you look at the trails.
How many games you don't seewith Smile, with A Sword running
around?
No, but you're right.
But my thing is, that's always.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
In video times or in a Japanese setting.
Okay, I'm biased because I loveJapanese games.
Come on, mr LK but it's thesame thing.
It's the same concept, but thegames are the same.
Like you play Risen Rona, youplay Go Tsushima and then you
could play Onimushu.
You're going to have threedifferent experiences, though I
kind of disagree with you.
Yes, my thing is, it's so muchyou can do, Like what do you
(36:30):
expect?
Tell, do you expect?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Variety.
I mean, this is variety.
All the other games have avariety.
Yes, well, okay, a remaster Mendon't get solid stick either.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yes, oh, I'm actually hype about that because I never
played the other ones.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I'm hype about it, but can we have someone else?
Can we do something else?
Can we do something else withSpazian?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
I don't know.
I disagree with you.
I'm okay with this.
I'm okay with this.
I'm okay with this movie.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
I'm okay with this.
I'm okay with this.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
It's like movies, it's like it's only so much
movies you can make.
I mean, movies are going to bea love story, it's going to be a
shooter, it's going to be aMarvel.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I mean, yeah, but have the Marvel Cinematic
Universe people Half day, halfday, yeah, look at Marvel still
blowing up.
We talking about the Marvelmovie, the Marvels, that crap.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
You saw that crap they're blowing up still that
movie sucked.
You talking about CaptainAmerica?
No, Captain.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
America movies do.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
The numbers are pretty good on that.
Actually the numbers are right.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Pretty good, Michael.
No, it's not pretty good.
I disagree with you.
No, it last podcast.
No, Mr Amazing, stop it.
That was all right to me theMarvel movies suck, suck.
You're talking about suckbecause of the quality of the
movie or you're talking aboutthe sales.
It's also both the quality andthe sales suck.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
General, you're talking about the recent one.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
The Black Widow movie didn't sell that well Well that
didn't do.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
well, I know that.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Come on, mr Vance, stop the nonsense.
Pew will get burned out.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Well, they keep making it, so it can't be that
bad.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's the reason.
It can't be that bad I mean,like I said, you have a right to
your opinion.
Everybody has a win over.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I see what you're saying, but I'm a big Summer
Ride guy, so I don't mind those,especially the big AAA games,
yeah, but it's like.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
It's like okay For the mid-tier games like Astro
Boss is very good that was verygood, actually Very good.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
You know I love that game, but let me just I don't
want to dwell on this too longyou can see the same thing, but
it's like me saying oh man, theycame out with Street Fighter,
they came out with Fatal Fury,they came out with Mortal Kombat
, they came out with SoulCalibur.
They're all fighting games, butthey're all different types of
fighting games, but at the endof the day, they're all fighting
games.
So it's like so you see thesame thing.
No, you're not seeing the samething, because they're all
(38:49):
different types though.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Soul, that game, that game, socal, is based on
weaponry.
Okay, that's based on weaponry.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
No, but I need more.
I just need Friday.
Against the General.
What it's like if you say I'msaying the same thing?
No, it's not.
They all bring different thingsto it.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
It's just a difficult genre to compare.
It's like saying, before EAtook over Madden, okay, that was
a monopoly.
Though that was a monopoly,there was several different
football games, yeah there wasseveral different football games
.
Yeah, you had, yes, one of theyes two came, but then it became
this mainly two, becauseeverybody else just couldn't
(39:25):
handle it or just absolutelysucked yeah, I'm more good at
disagreeing because I'm okaywith it, as what you're saying
it's not variety.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
I'm okay with it as what you're saying is not
variety.
I find variety in it.
You're saying it's the samething, but I see variety, so
we'll agree to disagree on thisone.
I do see variety in the gamingout there now.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I wish you had a YouTube chat that showed people
father, this is the same thingwe're seeing.
But yeah, but it's okay to dothis.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I don't see nothing wrong with that being the same
thing, as long as it's not thesad same game I'm playing.
It's like if I'm playing Idon't know the name of a recent
game we both played Spider-Manand then I go play Uncharted and
I see Uncharted climbing thewalls like Spider-Man.
Then I got a problem.
Then I got a problem.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
We're going to wrap it up, I don't think the same
thing.
We'll wrap it up All right,we'll continue.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
What's the next?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
We'll wrap it up.
We'll wrap that up.
Let's go to the next topic.
Mr man, this is I can see itright to my opinion, there's
nothing wrong, nothing.
Your opinion is wrong and myopinion is right.
Most of my opinions are alwaysright.
You know, what I'm saying.
Alright, mr Mason, let's go tothe Trailer of the Week.
The Trailer of the Week isMinecraft.
(40:39):
I know I'm pulling the barrel,I'm pulling the barrel.
Speaker 2 (40:43):

That drop this is the secondtrailer.
Mr Mason, I thought they had afirst one.
Speaker 2 (40:52):

Let's see the trailer.
Not really, Is this straight to?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Netflix.
No, shut the hell up.
I didn't even hear about this.
This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Shut the hell up In the overworld.
Anything you can dream about,you can create.
So they built all this.
Yeah, most of it Hold up.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
That thing doesn't understand a word you're saying.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
We're talking Life here was perfect Until one day,
flint and steel.
We came across the nether, aplace with no joy or creativity
at all.
What are you making?
If they get their way, thisbeautiful world and everything
(42:17):
in it Will wither and die.
It means goodbye brother.
No, it doesn't.
Don't look at her, it does.
If we want to save this world,creativity is key to survival.
Now, what Elightra wingsuit?
Bye bye world.
Creativity is key to survival.
(42:39):
Now what Electro wingsuits?
Bye-bye.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Those things work right, absolutely Coming in hot,
I got something for you.
I love you Alice.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Oh my gosh, I was so so.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
This place makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Let's do this.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
You want me to fight the chicken Chicken jockey?
(43:46):
Yes, oh no, Not again, oh myGod oh my God, Are you all right
, Mr Amazing?
Speaker 1 (43:50):
the Minecraft movie starring Jack by Jason Samoa, Mr
Amazing, coming out April 4th.
Do you green light?
This trailer, yellow light orred light?
This trailer, Mr Amazing?
Speaker 2 (44:01):
It's not for me at all, but I'm going to green
light it because of the name.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Why are you lying to me?
You said you're going to seethis on day one.
It's coming out in 3D, MrAmazing.
I'll get it by 3D glass.
I'm going to be chilling you dothat.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
You do that.
You like it.
It is not for me, but I am asmart man.
I'm going to agree like thisbecause I think this number is
going to do.
I think the number is going tobe crazy on this do you think
there's a past Super Mario?
ooh, good question, very goodquestion.
No, super Mario is too big ofan icon, even bigger than this,
even bigger than Minecraft, youknow, and Minecraft is big, we
(44:36):
all know that.
But I think that Super Mariosells itself because you got a
hero, you got a family, ahousehold name in Mario.
Where Minecraft is, what's themain guy's name?
Do you even know it?
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Tyler, what's the guy's name?
Speaker 2 (44:50):
in Minecraft Exactly Steve, exactly you.
The guy's name on MinecraftExactly Steve, exactly you have
to ask about it, steve, you guysshould great-great-grandma
should tell you who Mario is thefavorite plugger.
Ain't nobody know who Steve is.
If you know, you know.
But Mario, everybody knows.
So no, I don't think it's goingto surpass Mario.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
But I think they'll sell Captain America to Brave
New.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
World.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Of course it is Okay okay, I'll try to get a free bet
.
Yo, everybody's going to makean announcement.
I still didn't get my wings.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
that Guard lost but I'm still waiting for it.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Yo, it's coming.
Yo, I went for Hooters.
You know Hooters might closedown All of them.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
It's going to be a hit.
It's going to be a hit.
I'm going to green light it.
It's a hit, but I'm not goingto see it though, but it's going
to be a hit, Mr Mays is goingto have his friend bootlegged
and put on his machine.
I was never a Minecraft person,but I'm smart enough to know
when you see what's going to%.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
All right, mr Mazin, let's go to our shout-out of the
week.

Shout out to him, wait 36 now 36, now I think he's
about 36.
Still like the baby assassin.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm not mad at that shot ofthe week.
They were left for dead and allof a sudden, with the trade of
Jimmy Butler, that team isbacking on.
But so yeah, I'm not mad at it.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Don't get mad.
Ups is hiring Dope.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
I just want to say that.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
I don't know why Shout out to Biggie just passed
away too.
Yes, mom just passed away,unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
But Mr.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Amazing.
Let's go to our Should we Care?
Top of the Week, mr Amazing,yes, should we Care Top of the
Week After two years, sony has,two years later, after Sony has
released the VR2, mr Amazing, itfinally slashed the price.
Mr Amazing, march the VR willbe $400.
Starting March 1st.
(47:34):
Mr Mavis is a couple of daysaway Popping off.
Let's pop the bottles.
No one's selling these too damnlate.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Do you think I care?
You guys should have been donethat.
I figured they thought theycould get the sales off the PC.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
So I guess that was not working well.
If they're still snatching theprice, yeah, but the price was
$550 retail.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Was it at $300 or $400?
Speaker 1 (47:56):
It's $400 now, hmm.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
But Sony, do this to yourself.
The biggest mistake you did wasnot making it backwards
compatible.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
That's a big issue.
I still have games for it.
Big problem, that was theproblem.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Yeah, that was the problem, though you should have
made it backwards compatible.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
You made the backwards compatible.
You made backwards compatible.
That system would have sold waybetter.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
I mean a few of them.
I remember I bought it was onsale.
Yeah, you did.
How much did you get?
400?
I got less than this 350.
Speaker 1 (48:26):
350.
Oh wow, less than this manthat's.
It was used, it was cheap, thatwasn't brand new man, that's at
Yo, I snapped it up, son.
So should we care a lot, alittle or not at all about that?
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Not at all, because the system itself is just not
doing well for me.
I'm not going to go down thatroad.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Well, I didn't know, mr Mays, I haven't played it yet
, but I'll have to.
We'll give a better opinion.
Recycle that.
That'll recycle your opinion.
Give me your opinion next week,okay.
Once you try VR?
No, no, it's fair.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
But the reason I gave it that not based on the
quality of the thing, I'm notbasing it on that, I'm basing it
on the fact that it's just toolate.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
I think it's just VR in general.
It's not.
It's not as popular as it was.
Especially when the pandemiccame in the VR world was popping
up.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
That closed down.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
It was supposed that closed down.
They posted a VR big center inConnecticut.
That never happened.
That really damaged the VRwe'll say community and it just
hasn't popped off like peoplethought it would yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
That's why it went.
Not at all, because not becauseof the actual games and stuff,
no, because it's not taking offas it was supposed to and also
the games too, miss Maisie.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
Yeah, it helps, but like Miss Maisie, I was
wondering if you could pick onthe VR system.
Try it next yeah, we'll try itand we'll come back and we'll be
in it.
But, as I would say, I carevery little.
Because is this?
Is this why?
Maybe, maybe one more year,playstation VR, probably?
Speaker 2 (49:52):
unless, unless the PC version is ticking off.
Yeah, let's see yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
So we'll see and probably say they didn't do much
.
They did more advertisement inthe VR.
The first one, that's yourquestion.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
It would never happen .
Speaker 1 (50:02):
It would never happen no, it's not going to Xbox yeah
, do you think?
Speaker 2 (50:06):
if they said you know what, put it on Xbox, we don't
care?
Speaker 1 (50:08):
you think, that would help it.
How many units, but I sold what30 that's true, why, why, why
waste?
More time and resources that'strue, you're right, you're 100%
right.
Alright, people, you say youdon't care, not at all.
A little.
I don't care, I care a little,but I just think it's too late.
But let's make.
We'll give his opinion of theVR and you'll see the quality.
(50:29):
You might just say, yo, sonywasted potential.
But, like I said, sony's faultis just the way VR is going at
this time.
Speaker 2 (50:37):
Yep, exactly that's my take on that.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
All right, mr Amazing .
