(01:07):
I think will be I think youand Taylor, that's what the schedule said.
That's that's getting changed. Well,not convinced because I'm questioning myself because
oh, we don't even have apsyde quest for the next week. Me
in Taylor might push that because notbecause like I'm busy, just because that's
the predictions for the next side questwill be a all the multiverse. Oh,

(01:32):
I just did marble lines and tonsof camera problems. I think it's
the heat. I don't know,so I'll be back at some point.
Um, I don't like I don'tthink the NAVI Smurfs is bad. I
like seeing that because it's kind ofcool. But either way, there will
be an episode of myself a Taylor. We're gonna be doing a Summer Games
Fest prediction. But also I didn'trealize the Summer Games Fest. Within that
same weekend, you have Xbox GameShow and the Ubi Soft One I as

Um but yeah, by July thirtyfirst, we're trying to hit fifty

(03:19):
These are ones that will put anextra work in two there'll be a Top
fifteen Video Games one and Attending UCinematic Universe Rise, a Skywalker commentary track,
a Mystery Box one and MCU rebootafter Secret Wars, GBBANO, tons
of fun stuff, head a patronand go do that. So yeah,
that's I think they said everything youneed to know, it's all. It's
all there. So we're gonna startwith We're gonna go overalls, and we're
gonna do the game by games andstuff like that. So if you're only

(03:43):
looking out for one specific game,they'll be like a cutout for Spider Man,
I cut out for mental gear andstuff like that. But if you'll
every yeah, Kirk, I haven'tjust gonna be looking I haven't told Kirkland
that's like, yeah, you're editingright, and then yeah, every single
game is gonna cut out, evenif it's a minute and a half ago.
That look good, that's fine,and then that's a cutout right there
thirty seconds boom. Yeah, ourfeed would just be just geek first release,

(04:05):
thirty six new episodes like what Yeah, good timing on the color change.
They're the bastard. But anyway,so yeah, Kirkland, so you
gave some of your thoughts, I'lllet you start. What do you think
about the showcase overall start to finish. We haven't had one in about two
years. They always do states ofplays and stuff like that, but showcases
are a lot different. So yeah, what did you feel? Yeah?

(04:27):
And it very much felt different.It didn't just feel like like a like
a sony state of play. Itfelt like a full on E three big
PlayStation main stage sort of event.It was an hour long, and I
feel like for the vast majority ofit, I was I was just totally
engaged and thinking like, man,if this was the only game coming out
this year, like this is this, this has my money? Like I
feel like for vast majority of thegames it had me feeling that way.

(04:50):
And by vast majority, I meanlike probably like nine out if if I
was ratioing it down, like nineout of ten, like ninety percent of
the games were totally grasping my attention, other than the VR games, just
because I don't have a VR system. Yeah that's not to mention what the
quality of those games are, butI just don't have the hardware to play
it. But you know, II thought it was really like well paced

(05:11):
too. It's just going game gameto game with the little sony symbols in
between here and there. You hadthe CEO I forget his name, Joe
Johnson something like that at the beginningand then basically right right before the big
lead off with the spiky thing there. So I thought it was really well

(05:31):
done. And yeah, a lotof really really cool titles, some titles
that I knew about, some titlesI didn't know about. It was pretty
interesting too, because I feel likethere was so many games shown and there'd
be a title that it would startplaying. I'm like, this looks cool,
but I don't think it's gonna havemy money, just because there's so
many cool things here. And thenby the end of that trade, I'm
like, oh my god, Imight need to pick this up because it
just looks so good. So yeah, I was really really impressed by it.

(05:56):
I feel like I feel like thisShowcase two really felt like I'd like,
all of the games just really feltnext gen. Um. I know,
we've kind of been in the nextgen for a little while now,
like we're in year three of thePlayStation five, but I don't know,
it's just there wasn't really any title. Um, there might have been one,
but I feel like there really wasminimal titles that made me feel like

(06:18):
this is kind of not not feelinglike a new, brand new next gen
game. But yeah, they reallywere some beautiful gameplay, beautiful characters,
a lot of Like mo Cap two, it seemed that they had, for
um, a lot of characters inthe games that they showcase, not just
one particular, but um, Ifeel like PlayStation has had that for a

(06:40):
while and they I don't know,it just seems like maybe this showcase in
particular really really felt like they werereally use utilizing the real actors for a
lot of titles. But yeah,I'll leave it there, Okay. So
yeah, No, I'm excited thatyou feel that way because it should be
a good cast, because I'm onthe complete opposite spectrum that I think for

(07:01):
me, this is like the mostdisappointing PlayStation conference probably since like the PS
three era. I think they droppedthe ball big time. You go back.
We did a site No, wedid a topic last week go in
Geber's News, and we talked aboutall the potential things that could be here
are predictions, even the stuff likethe layups, like oh, well,
for sure, you'll have that Lastof Us game they've been talking about for

(07:23):
two years, and some multiplayer andstuff like that. Not even that,
no ghosts of Tshima. There's somany companies in studios that are first person
with Sony that aren't here at all, Like what Sucker Punch doing, what's
Bluepoint doing? All these things?We had stuff like we'll get into it,
but you had this mail gear teaserthat's just like the thirty second thing.
Not even a development team attached toit, so we don't even know

(07:44):
what the deal that, not evenCoonami's name attached to it. And I
thought there was a weird mix ofgames that look very similar as far as
we're in space and we're shooting.It's like great, I think to me,
to sum all up, other thanwhich actually is not emil here,
other than Final Fantasy sixteen, whichis out next week or next month,
I should say sorry. And thenSpider Man, which will get into which
didn't even a date, which concernsme a little bit. Two twenty three.

(08:07):
Yeah, we're close enough they shouldhave a date. I think it's
September. I don't think so anymore. I think it's gonna be November,
and then we're gonna wake up onetime in October. W We're really sorry
to disappoint you, but I don'tthink that. But last time we did
a big reveal for Spider Man,we had the date this close like an
E three Now that was in June. But still that's like, I don't
know, we're a month away fromJune. But to me, the best

(08:30):
example and it is funny enough that, you know, I rag on them
so much, I gotta show exampleof I'm gonna screenshare something that I have.
Hopefully it doesn't kick out your thing. But to me what sums it
all up is it was like,what's the next few years of x or
PlayStation gonna look like? An Xboxdid do a very smart and clever thing
today. After the showcase, theytweeted out and said, oh, there's
a lot of good looking games there. All these massive games that they showed

(08:52):
in this conference, they're all stillgoing next. Majority of the mass games
they showed are still all going toXbox, mil Gear, Alan Wake.
And that's why if this was likea regular E three, if this was
Summer Games Fast, I would bea lot more happy with it. But
with this, with being the PlayStationshowcase, and like the one we got

(09:13):
before the two years ago that wasone where we got Spiderman to Wolverine,
Cotar, we got all this stuff, and then the year before that or
whatever the two years were that waslike PlayStation five. They're revealed by that
stuff. This to me just feltlike very inconsequential and it's great to have
some of these games, but again, these are things we're gonna see like
Assassin's Creed. Really like, we'regonna see that at the Ubisoft stage,

(09:33):
Alan Wake, We're gonna see that. A bunch of times it did not
feel special, did not feel fora showcase. A state of play would
be different, but a showcase.These happened like every two years, and
this is usually it's like we're gonnacome and show our PlayStation cock and they
took off their pants and they werelooking like Ken from a Barbie doll and
stuff like that. It was notthere, and it's like even Spider Man.
It's like, if Spider Man isnot in this, for me,

(09:54):
this is a pretty much skippable one. And even some of the games they
showed off, there were so manyjust like cinematics like just oh yeah,
like like we'll get into it.But there's one game looked kind of cool
with a color scheme that a playlike a space station. But that's about
it, and then just cuts toa logo and that said So for me,
I was I thought we were reallylacking here and we were missing a

(10:15):
lot of the Sony first parties andI was very surprised by this, and
I, uh yeah, I all, I'm saying, is one Keiley,
he does a good job at allI'm saying is you know, a couple
of weeks ago, as Taylor says, you know what's his name there,
Phil Spencer was shredded his papers.You got fucking you got to what is
it like June twelfth, wherever yougo out like a couple of weeks to

(10:35):
fucking buckle down, go out thereand for the first because Sony usually never
drops the fucking ball in my opinion, they never dropped the ball at these
things. So it's like you gotan opportunity to go out there and actually
do something great at Hill Talk.Because I don't think this this was it
for them. I don't think this, like I said, because what PlayStation
exclusives are coming out? You gotFinal Fantasy sixteen Inspire. Man, I

(10:56):
know there's probably a ghost too,and we know last of Us, but
where are they? You know?It's just like we don't have any roadmap
for and usually that's what Sony does. They'll show like the next five to
six big ips, but it feltlike they weren't ready for that, so
they showed these other games like AlanWake two, which is great, but
we knew about and you know,like a marathon, which is cool,
but it's a cool CGI trailer.So for me, I was I was

(11:18):
missing a law of the hype onthis one, and I think they dropped
the ball here, Sony for thefirst time in quite a while, you
know, so yeah, that's fair. I feel like there was a lack
of like solid release dates on alot of the titles that they did,
Like Showcase here it just said likecoming to PS five, you know,
it's like well in your life obviously, yeah, and then like I feel

(11:41):
like it would be rare when itwould be like coming to PS five this
year, but very rarely it showedan actual date, even to Spider Man
too, that you brought up therelike it just is Fall twenty twenty three.
I don't know, Like I feellike I was definitely expecting to get
something like Ghosts and that I didlike knowing that I didn't get that,

(12:03):
I don't know. I feel likeI was just I just was left so
satisfied because of the finale of this, which was Spider Man. That's really
like if I got that and likenothing else, no middle your Soul and
anything which we basically basically gotten upin to your point like there is no
Konami title, no, no indevelop its Konami. But it's just they

(12:24):
didn't say anything. It's it's it'sweird. It just feels like what Xbox
does a lot when they'll be like, oh, coming in to Xbox,
but then PlayStations like, well allthese games. I'm like, for a
second, I thought mail Go actuallywas a PlayStation. Scoo's like, okay,
that's cool. But then, likeI said, five minutes say Xbox
like, no, that's coming heretoo. Oh one, that's kind of
odd. I feel like that oneout of all of them should have had

(12:46):
me a lot more hype than Iactually was. In that moment, I
was like, what is this trailer? This is really weird. And then
it goes to snake and like,for a moment, I'm like, holy
crap, like that that's a reallycool reveal of having solid snake, and
I was I'm expecting to jump onto the next thing. Sorry, salt
snake, that snake is snake.Okay, well different snake's gonna get you.
Someone's gonna get Yeah. I'm thankyou for correcting me there. But

(13:09):
so like just seeing a snake,a lot of snakes fighting in that water.
Then we have a snake. CalmSnake's still snake, you know,
just take out the first there's callinga snake because there's salt snake, there's
nake snakes. Fuck you camera,motherfucker. Yeah, I don't look at
the samach look at this. SoI just look like I don't know what's
going on. You're so happy aboutthe showcase. Um, but yeah,

(13:31):
no, I I feel like wehave that moment and then I'm expecting to
jump into gameplay or something like anylike cinematic and then it just shows the
title and it's just like, wow, okay that that feels like the Elder
scroll six reveal that we got thate three where tripping me out. Now
I'm trying to reset him. ThenI just look'n in the Smile movie,

(13:52):
like, what the fuck? Sincemy camera's on, I'm working, it's
gonna get me here pretty soon.We're just it's like both just a photo
of you and me just smiling aswe're talking. Um, so yeah,
I I personally I see your pointfor sure. I I just think that
there was some surprising here that thatreally really surprised me. One being um,

(14:15):
oh my gosh, I forgot thetitle already. But the um Phantom
Blade zero that was the one whereI was I was like, I was
watching the trailer and I'm like,this is really cool, but I'm not
going to pick this up for justI don't know, there's too many good
games to be picking up. Andthen by the end of the trailer,
I'm like, holy fuck, Likethis feels it's funny. It's kind of

(14:35):
a samurai asked but it felt thesimilar way that the Ghost of Hello.
It felt a similar way that theGhost of Teshima trailer had me where I'm
like, this is a really cooltrailer, but I don't think I'm gonna
pick it up. But then likethe more I stewed upon it, now
you're just totally messing me up.I'm gonna have to turn off or camera.
Um the way that I had mefeeling and the more I stewed upon
him like this could be actually avery very special game, kind of like

(14:58):
how Ghosts Teshima was. UM,So that one is a big highlight for
me. The new jump Ahead youjumping ahead, I know, yeah,
okay, yeah, you had somehighlights in here, highlights for for sure,
and surprises that that just boosted myoverall enjoyment of it. And I
think the fact that it was justjumping like a game by game by game,

(15:22):
um, I think just did helpthe pace of it. Like I
was, I was just in thekitchen, like you know, making dinner,
newing dishes or whatever, so likeit just it was a nice thing
to just only saw a Spider Man. Actually that's why it's so high on
it. Yeah, it's like we'rejust talking about the twenty minutes Spider Man
trail. The rates so on theold E three scale because E three East
rate those out of five. Whatwould you rate this conference showcase showing.

(15:46):
I think I think four out offive is so I don't think I would
sway too much from that. Ithink if I really like at the end
of this discussion, I feel likemaybe i'll other go at most down to
three point five. But I reallyfeel pretty strongly on it, like,
yeah, I'm not gonna be pickingup all these titles, but I still

(16:06):
think it was a good showcase ofwhat the PlayStation could do in certain cinematic
settings. But you did bring upa lot of good points about just not
a lot of big title releases,and I think maybe for me personally,
because I'm not buying one hundred gamesa year like that doesn't really affect me
at all. I see Spider Man, I see Fall twenty twenty three.
That's exciting to me. I reallydon't think that date is going to be

(16:29):
pushed back to twenty twenty four.I think there might be some wiggle room
in that Fall era area might begin. Hey, if it's twenty twenty three,
I'm dying on that hill. Ireally think it's twenty twenty three.
People, I can't come home forChristmas. I got I got Spider Man
to save. Yeah. I don'tknow. It's just they like they showed
off a lot of gameplay and itlooked it looked really good. It doesn't
look obviously there's but here's there's beengames before where it happens. I'm in

(16:56):
the camp where I think it's comingout. I just think I'm just I
don't like the Well, we're veryconfident about Fall. We just don't have
an exact date. Yeah, it'slike, okay, you know, like
they can be very confident until oneday something goes wrong and they oh,
you know it's true. Yeah,yeah, but anyways, well we'll take
our first AD break, and we'llget to spiment when we get there,
because we have lots to talk about. So we'll take our first AD break,

(17:17):
and then we're gonna break down thisconference game by games. We'll be
right back. Oh all right,so then sometimes two we can have it
brought up. So yeah, bringup this one. This is what starts.
I was surprised, and this iswhere you can kind of give the
other side of it. I wassurprised we start off a fair game here,
I thought for sure, because Ithought about that showcase a couple of
years when they started the PlayStation fivethat start with that that Miles Morales game

(17:41):
where it was like, oh that'sthe d It's not DLC, but it
was that own separate game and stufflike that. I thought we were gonna
be starting off hot. Fair gamedid not look like anything for me,
and I think the problem this conferenceI have for them. Oh I forgot
to say posit by the way,pausit. I forgot to say I'd be
a three out of five on aconference, but as far as like delivering

(18:02):
on the hype, I would belike a two out of five. I
would fail out on the hype.But all the actual conference. Once I
step aside from it, get out, like the perspectives and the predictions out
of the way, I'd say theydid deliver some stuff. There's some things
in here I really liked. Butyeah, so anyways you go back now,
So this fair game. I thinkthat's one problems conference had for me
is they had, just like Isaid, a lot of space shooters and

(18:23):
there was too much. It kindof just reminds me out time when fucking
there's a one your Xbox had likemultiple zombie games. It's like, you
couldn't have done this at different times. And to me, this was an
odd way to start. And thisis where I knew something was up three
games in because people have said theyfel like, oh they're starting off slow
for me, and they're gonna getto it. But usually they start some
bangers here. But yeah, whatdo you think of a fair game here?
And I gotta look up what Haven'sdone because I don't know anything from

(18:47):
Haven off by the Heart, youknow, yeah, right away this just
made me think of like Watchdogs,Legion. Just the overall vibe of this,
like I don't know, like Cyberpup, Like I don't even call it
cyberpunk, but it's just like somesort of punk feel to it, but
also like Hacker Realm. You knowyet there. Yeah. Yeah, So

(19:10):
they've they've worked on the Sims,twomb Ranger Stars, Battlefront, Rainbow Sixth
Siege. I imagine Battlefront that mightbe the original ones. I don't know
if it's the News. I guessit could be the news when they might
partner with the EA. But andI thought that was the same trick from
that Immortal game too, So I'mlike, holy shit, this is like
a DLC or something already for thatgame. Um, but no, I

(19:30):
don't know. I there was somethingabout it. I just I really thought
it was a fun trailer. Itjust it seemed like if this was like
a Netflix show, I'd really I'dreally be into this. Like just the
overall feel looks really cool. Iliked the world design that they're going for.
Um, not too much obviously thecinematic trailer in terms of gameplay,
but just for what they showed Icould I can I can see that translate

(19:52):
over to a cooperative gameplay setting,and I think it could be really fun.
And obviously I can see the gameplayand be like this absolute shit but
um, first, yeah, that'sthe big thing, right, bringing it
to my attention. I think theylike big thumbs up. In my opinion,
it looked really cool. Yeah,that's when they thing you can pause
there before we go to the nextone. I like the like the schematics

(20:12):
of like the like the kind ofwhat am I looking for here? Colors,
themes, what I'm looking for thesetic, Thank you very much.
That's the one I like that.I think maybe it's just also with this
one, I'm just kind of overthey Eat the Rich like killer Yeah,
like yeah right, Like I justfeel like the past two years there's just

(20:33):
been so much eat the Rich killer, Like we just got that knives out
as well air glasses on you.Like, I just feel like there's that's
such a big thing, and it'slike I get it. We all hate
rich people, we can, andit's just like okay, I don't know,
so anyways, Uh yeah, Ihave to see it. I know
people talk about a rainbow Succeedure isa good thing. It's always been a
game. I thought, oh,I might want to get in there,
but for me, it is thatI have to see the gameplay because the

(20:56):
same thing when you said I couldsee that transitioning. I could also see
it be like and I haven't playedyet, but almost like a Red Fall
type where it's like these trailers werereally cool and then when the game play
happened people and it was kind ofa letdown. It seems like they're showing
off a lot of cool weapons here, but if they don't work flawlessly or
I guarantee, there's gonna be typesright where it's like, hey, only
if you're this character, you dothis, this maybe not so well,

(21:18):
we'll see. I don't know.I had to check us this one.
Uh. I don't know if thiswas one that was just exclusive places it
might have been, because this wasn'ton there, And again I think this
could stand out more differently. It'sjust that there's a lot of other shooters,
so I would put this one lower. I didn't have too much to
it, even though I really likedthat guy's like laser shield, that one
that came up in the gun.I realized that, so so there could
be some aesthetics, but yeah,it was, it wasn't one that's still

(21:41):
gonna be on my radar. Iliked the dollar signs though, so yeah,
I thought it was like fair games, That's what that was meaning.
It was like, I don't Idon't like the title for that, but
it still might be fair games though. But like in the bottom for the
bookmark, at least this is gamespot that it just says fair game.

(22:02):
It just says fair game. Yeah, everyone's gonna call fair games fair games.
Moving on, alright, SoSE fairgames does take it? Did you
make it just in a robhood storyand stuff like that? See us soon?
Yeah? Yeah, PS five andPlayStation or PC. So yeah,
I think that is one that isexclusive and see what they got there.

(22:22):
So then I think you skip.This is Jim Ryan talking, right,
I still mis Sellen Layden. Sohere's one where so I've never says this
Hell Divers two. I've not playedHell Divers one, never been a fan
ever had any Anderson I will saywith this trailer. And also this was
just a cinematic, but this iswhen we're seeing that like Unreal Engine five
stuff at times. This dude,look fucking real. This was what I

(22:44):
was talking about with the most Lookat that. Yeah, pause that right
there, like that's some great,that's some great And you know what the
discord joining our discord was getting mehype because people were saying it's a Starship
Troopers games like that would have beenreally cool, but um this was is
it not? No, it's justhell Divers. Okay, well it has
the Starship Trooper vibe to it,like yeah, so, and like because

(23:07):
they get like tattoos that they're that'slike they're they're troop like they're the Marines
like in the movie. And Ithought they were hell Divers. So I'm
like, holy fuck, this isso crazy. I was waiting for them
to drop the line Starship Trooper.It just goes Hell Divers too, and
I'm like, just head scratch.I'm like, I am so confused here
because everything about it just screams thatStarship Trooper vibe to it. I was
like, were they called super Earth? I thought they were just Earth but

(23:29):
but the bugs are like the exactsame as the the irachnid type that definitely
inspired by you know, and stufflike that. But this one I would
take away with like this is forme where it's like this looks great.
It's like that video that came outa couple of weeks ago of like Unreal
Engine five from First Person game,Like holy shit, like this show's okay,
yeah, we are eventual getting atsome really good looking stuff. The
game playing here, I have nointerest in shooting a bunch of bugs.

(23:52):
Even the other game, I'm like, okay, fair game, maybe it
could be fun. I'd team upwith you guys. This one didn't really
do anything for me other than itlooked. It looked good in some parts.
So yeah, I love the trailer. I love the trailer so much.
Like I was saying, it justwas screaming Starship Trooper, the Break
Around Bug Game, and really absolutelyit's that here. It's a Hero for
hot or it's like hero Star StarHero whatever it is. So yeah,

(24:15):
I was very very impressed with thecinematic. And then it got to the
game play and it just looked reallystiff and uh, just just not really
satisfying to move around the world.Just seem like I'm gonna be sitting there
with my laser gun slowly, justlike strafing. Yeah, it looked like
a different almost too. Yeah,and it like that's where it was very
disconnected from what the cinematic was.That's happened many times. Some games just

(24:38):
have stellar cinematics. Games from likethe nineties sometimes have Stellar cinematics. Then
you get to the game plan andit's just yeah, it's to that era,
but um so this one, Yeah, it felt a little bit disconnected
there if it's said Starship Trooper.Though I was still going to like make
a case. I'm like, thiscould be really fun though, just to
get into that world to play withfriends. But and like I probably we

(25:00):
shouldn't just say that, like,oh yeah, because it's not that I'm
just not gonna play it. ButI was like barely I was like barely
on the fence when it was StarshipTrooper and then knowing that it's that's not
it's like, oh, okay,I don't have a lot of nostalgia time
e to the franchise, but coolcinematic for sure, and hopefully it's a
sleeper rope pick at least for thestudio's sake. So yeah, you anything,

(25:22):
Yeah, you can just play thatat like a one point five speed
or something there. I'll just skipright ahead. Yeah, oh, what
was the name of this gaming Immortalsof Avum or Avum No Zero? So
this is like aer original, sothat's you know, you never know,
but this is like a this lookedlike what was that game that came out

(25:45):
of it. Was it for Spokena couple a little while ago. Yeah,
yeah, I had similar a setic. People know that I've definitely turned
the corner on first person games asfar as I have enjoyed a lot more
since I've started the podcast. Butthis is a type of game that I've
known Tristan being in first person.I know it's like similarly it would just
be a gun, but yeah,this was again this one just didn't do
anything for me. This one justfelt like of an older generation. Yeah,

(26:08):
I wasn't liking any of this,these cut scenes going on here,
So this is Yeah, I thinkthis is a game that's just like it's
gonna come out, and you know, like I think it's my thing that
with the showcases sometimes they always likethey have these big games that are going
to deliver a lot of these gamesto me came or I feel like when
they come out, they're gonna bomband you're never gonna hear anything about like
that studio doing this type of sequelor DLC anything like that, Like it's

(26:30):
just not going to do well enough. And this one, I just I
don't see nothing in this trailer pulledme to why I would want to play
it, and I not enough tothat I could see other people wanting to
play unless you're a massive fan oflike this type of medieval magic genreun first
person which is a very specific plot. Maybe if you were wanting this,
list one other game that has that. Oh yeah, I don't know for

(26:53):
spoken, but it's not first person, right, so yeah, I don't
know. Yeah, yeah, II really really love this trailer. Really
yeah, I like, what areyou gonna buy? This? Is this
gonna be in the cart so toyour to your your little pitch there that
it's gonna bomb. I could seeit just coin like PlayStation Plus, you

(27:15):
know, within that same year.I feel like something many games have done
that in the past, and Ihave a big PlayStation Plus free games again
Immortals of Avium. Yeah, sono, this is another Xbox One.
So it's gonna just probably be releasedregular because it's not it's not exclusive for
anyone. It can still be onPlayStation Plus like the three months or the
free games of months. At somepoint time, I guarantee this will be

(27:37):
on there. Yeah, I'll bedownloading it. So there's another good one.
Teeny tiny one er Land remember thatone that they made for teeny teenie
Tinie Tikers or whatever that game waswith the Funky Bunch. Yeah, don't
worry, we'll get there super bad. So yeah, I I think for
I will be playing this at somepoint in time, is what I'm trying
to say. So, whether it'son like howl off that's when I pick

(28:00):
it up, or just the threemonth, I will be playing this just
because the gameplay. The gameplay looksso fun to me, Like it reminds
me of a Dishono type game.Um. On the side quest we just
went through the Arcane retro reminded mea little bit of a Might and Magic
just first person, a lot ofmagic, like the way that he was
comboing his abilities to just look reallysatisfying to me. Um, the gameplay

(28:22):
reminds me of almost like a Doomtype aesthetic where it's just yeah, a
lot of big monsters you're shooting,very colorful effects, very fast paced,
and yeah some of these some ofthese boss battle that they just look really
cool. I really liked the aestheticof what this game is, UM,
But I like, I'm not expectinganything for the story wise, like this
could be one I could see myselfjust skipping every single cinematic just to get
to the gameplay just because it Idon't know. I like, I don't

(28:45):
think that's yeah, this will betwenty's. I'm gonna say, like,
if this one drops a meta criticwith a thirty three percent, you're gonna
guarantee you're gonna play it one day. I don't think it'll be thirty percent
though, I think like maybe sixties. I'm gonna say I think sixties like
it's highest. I'd say sixty lowest, but like, also that being said,
like probably like seventy five highest,Like it's it's a very mediocre range.

(29:08):
I'm gonna say it's gonna be betweena fifty two and a sixty somewhere
in there. Yeah, that's whereI'm going with what we're doing. Guests,
Well, but I'm happy that's good. But again, it's not one
that I feel like you said youwon't pay for a full price, right.
It's just like one of those thingswhere it's just like, but I
hope it's good, and there's youI can't remember what you compare it too,
wasn't to do and I guess italso dishonor But yeah, the do

(29:30):
in comparison. I love to doand so there could be something there for
me, maybe Doom story and Iforgot some do and stuff like that,
and there you go, a World'sBiggest gek. Look at that. Hello,
this entire game looks so awesome.Secret looks amazing. The story is
awesome as well. I don't knowif it's gonna be, but hopefully it
is an IGN seven maybe you know, but hey, and some of the

(29:51):
best games in the world I've everplayed our sevens, Right, everyone has
those games where it's like, yeah, I know this isn't the greatest,
but I guess what also reminds meof is very like ARCADI and you'd sit
like scanning the thing, like,oh, go through the wizard trials and
stuff. But yeah, for surethe Doom comparison that you actually got me
on board because I do like thatwith Doom of just like it's just balls
to the wall. So I'll waitfor your word on this one when you

(30:11):
play it when you're sixty or somethinglike that. I will be playing it
before I die, as long asI don't die tomorrow or before it comes
out. But yeah, I'm verymuch looking forward to trying this one out,
and I hope it delivers satisfaction wiseon the gameplay, because the gameplay
delok satisfying. But I'm expecting likea like an eight hour story like Max,
you know, like like it's goingto be one of those that you

(30:33):
can just kind of play through leisurely. It's not super time committing, which
is good for me these days.Can't sit down just do one hundred and
seventy hour RPG these days. Butyeah, I'm very like set my expectations
at that seven mediocre range, andif it's higher than that, I'll be
pleasantly surprised. Well, what aboutfor ghost Runner two? You have any
expectations for that? Because I amI'm the worst type of person here because

(30:56):
I've never played the first one.I saw some people in this square being
hype, so I really have nothingto add. And this was just like
a cinematic that like looked kind ofcool but did not give me enough to
be like I should jump into thisfranchise, you know it. I think
it has gameplay actually in it,ghost Runner. I'm very excited to jump
into it. This was a gameI was falling for a while. I

(31:17):
was like watching gameplay just because Iwas really fascinated by what they the first
Yeah, the first one. Ireally love the cyberpunk feel to it.
Yea aesthetics cool. The gameplay though, is very it's I feel like it's
kind of a niche, uh following, that's what kind of I was kind
of surprised by ghost Runner two justbecause it's very um do you ride the
bike a lot? Because I likethat as I think that's new. I

(31:40):
think that's new. I think thatwas getting me in. I was like,
I'm play right here, Okay,yeah, you're right. Yeah.
It's one of those things though thatit's like it's a very hard game in
the sense that you're going to bedying so many times trying to just perfect
like the timing like I'll rewind ithere, but like you'll see the enemies
like blink Red and like that's whenyou have to like do your perry or
something. So it's like you gotto really spend time to get through it.

(32:02):
And for that aspect, I don'tthink this game is for everyone.
It's not like you can just turnaround easy mode and go through the story
like you really are playing it forthat gameplay feel to the to the point
that like if you pull it off, it's just the most satisfying thing ever.
So is there much of a storyto the first one? Do you
know or do you think it's verybasically it's probably that, Like I'm very

(32:22):
I really think it's just all aboutthe gameplay. Um but yeah, it's
like really about the timing and justlike the enemies one shot you essentially,
so like you really just got tokeep practicing. Um. But it's it
was one of those free PlayStation monthlygames for the PlayStation plus, so I
have it in my library. Iam excited to put it up at some
point, but um, I was, I was. I was very surprised

(32:45):
to see this though, because likeI was saying, like it just seemed
like a niche audience that that ithad. But clearly enough people were really
um cult following for it and demandedthis one, and like it looks really
cool. But I'm not diving intoit because I'm just not a super big
ghost Runner fan. I'm just I'ma fan of what this game kind of
is and the overallsthetics. I rememberseeing it, like it pretty good for

(33:07):
ratings too, It's like eighty percent. I remember seeing this and like shells
being like, oh, this isa game that probably definitely bombed, right,
just like one of those is toogood to be true, but came
out in twenty twenty, so it'sthe three year old, like three years
since it's the new one. Butyeah, it's one that I liked the
aesthetic of it. But I justum again now, like he's you're just

(33:27):
showing the cutscene. Is probably becauseit was another first person kind of made
me check out. But I likeit a little bit more now. But
it's not anything i'll be picking upright away. But people seemed excited about
it, and you know, Iam battle tested at Eldon Ring now,
so I feel like I can jump, I can run with the ghosts and
stuff like that. So very differentplay style, I don't know. Yeah,
but still congratulations to you. Yeah, all right, you beat old

(33:50):
Ring. Let's i'll talk about that. No, No, I actually haven't,
but I just feel like that changedme as a gamer of like it's
a oh yeah, there's nothing likeit, but it's all my us now
because I've made a list because Ihave got free Young Games of Gold for
a while. There you go,So yeah, that bike is what gets
me in there because I'm a bigfan of the bat Cycle and Dark Knights,
so I like motorcycles and games andstuff like that. So pause this

(34:13):
because I got stuff to say aboutthis one. But I was gonna say,
oh, right, I'll get toplay. It's like shit, was
I to say, Oh, I'venow made a list of games because I
don't have anything other than June awthat have like their first game coming out.
But it's like an Arcady wrestling games. It's not like a big commitment.
It's like for fun. Really,if Spierman gets delayed, I have
nothing. Really, I don't reallyhave anything I'm buying till the fall,

(34:36):
I don't think. So that's whyI've made a list of games I'm gonna
finally go beat and stuff like that. So like Hogwarts, I only got
like five hours left, so I'mjust gonna like that, Gotham Knights.
I'm just gonna steamroll through a bunchof games now. Because I did have
a Jedi Survivor. I'm like,this only took me. I don't want
to do that with games anymore,Like it only took me like four days
to really beat the main campaign.Sometimes I look at games like I'll never
beat that. But really, ifI just sink like one day a week

(34:59):
for a month, it's like that. So that's I've made myself a little
roadmap, and I redownloaded the newhit Man games because I want to get
back after So that's where I've I'vecreated myself a little roadmap till Spider Man,
and that's what I'm gonna do.But I don't know if I'm gonna
be adding Phantom Blade zero to it? Are you gonna be adding that?
I absolutely will be, Like thiswas This was the one where I'm like,
this looks really cool. I'm justgonna limit myself, you know,

(35:22):
the spending on the games. Butby the end of it, like the
gameplay, the story, hit play, that's okay, yeah, the gameplay,
the story, cinematics, the worldlike it just looked really beautiful but
very dark, like like almost darkerthan what Ghost of Tshima is, which
is crazy because Ghoshima is very revengetale, like everybody that you love basically
is betweening you or murdering you andthen but this is like a ghostly vibe

(35:45):
to it. Some of the bossenemies that you're fighting, they seem almost
supernatural with how hulkying they are,or just how kind of they look souls
ish. Yeah, that's that's asoul's like type creature they just had on
the video there. But so thisworld it reminded me too of Neo if
anyone knows that game souls like,but yeah, just the old like the

(36:05):
vibe and like look at a facelesscreatures like gothic horror. It's very like,
hey, Tim Burden made Ghost ofShima with the crows here and everything.
So I was very impressed, Likeup until this point, I think
I was like, Okay, Iknow I'm not buying it, like I'm
seeing I'm seeing characters like this.And then we actually get to the gameplay
where he's just popping off, andI was very impressed, like I was

(36:28):
expecting something that's just exactly like whatGhost gameplay is, but it's right,
he still right here. So whenI started to get sold a little bit,
but there's one move coming up inparticular where he did like this block
and this stuff, and that's whereit's like it looks very interesting because at
first I thought, okay, thisis another souls elm ring type of game,
right, it looked like that wherehe was running a lot from place
to place. We're getting big bossguys. So even this, at this
one, I'm like, okay,I could like now I have appreciation like

(36:51):
those games, so maybe it couldbe sold. But because I had that
Ghost of Seshima slot, I waslike, you were it's like the running
out of the wall. That wasfucking cool. But I was like,
I was like, okay, hey, I kind of have that slot filled
in my life. I don't needthat. It's kind of like Assassin's Cree
you do in Japan now right,It's like like I have goes, but
there's one thing coming up here.Even then the wall running all this was
looking good, and this looks alot more cinematic than what like a Soul's

(37:13):
game would be. Elm Ring kindof had that, but this looks like
there is gonna be some more storytoo. But there's a moment coming up
here where I was like, man, it almost looks like you ever play
Ninja Guiding back in the day too, like that, yeah, like and
maybe it's a little further way,but it was the speed. I'm very
curious how it plays. I'm verycurious, like, are they just showing
us the best? The best guyhere on easy mode and it just looks

(37:36):
like this, but it just hadthis repetition right here. This is where
I was like, fuck, Iwant to be like darth Ball. And
there's one com where he goes likehe'll like spin it as like a blocking
and I was it's coming up.Of course. Every time I said it's
like coming up right, I thinkhere right here, I was like,
okay, I want to be controlin this guy. I want to be

(37:57):
controlling the fantom blades. So yeah, I don't if it's one that's day
one, because I feel like it'sgonna get some game, it's gonna get
some bad release date that comes outvery close to something else we'll be playing.
But I feel like it's one thatif it comes out a good time
or if it reviews well, I'llcatch it later on because it has my
eye now. It has like areally good first showing and I like the
darker setting and stuff like that.So I think I have the same experience

(38:19):
as you as like I went from, ah, you know it looks all
right, but not you know,nothing on my list too. Okay,
I'm gonna be watching it now.It's not a day one yet, but
it's on the radar, as Ilike to say, now, yeah,
no, absolutely, I M I'mvery very curious to what the story implication
is for this like sixty six daysalive, because they said that multiple times

(38:40):
throughout and even at the end thereit seemed like, um two type of
verse two and taking his type charactersI'm assuming or just discussing who I'm assuming
is like the protagonist that like allthey really have to do is wait them
out? But like does that justmean you know, if you eventually get
through the game, you won't theywon't be waiting you out because you'll you'll
beat the game. Like it's veryjust uh uh not leaning what's the word

(39:05):
I'm looking for? Lineary um whereyou're just going like just like level by
level or is it is it actuallyhave implications to the point where like if
you're if you just die multiple times, like are you losing days on that
sixty six? And then he couldactually like really, yeah you think so
okay? Story? Yeah. Iwas hoping that it actually has gameplay elements
because that's something I would love veryunique. Um that they did show off

(39:30):
a lot of gameplay here, butit wasn't like a gameplay showcase. So
I'm that's something that I'm still kindof I'm still kind of holding on too,
because if that is the case,like this is a day one for
me, it's just it's a reallyreally interesting concept. Um. I agree
with Superman Mike. To me,this was the best new ip that I
agree for sure. Um, somethingsimilar to this uh that we had or

(39:51):
the feeling that we had for Ghoshimawas like questioning on how the gameplay actually
feels because we like in that wesaw people just getting one shot. It's
like, is that is that thewhole game? Like it's not too different,
and then of course they showcase that, but we also got to play
it and then really felt satisfying.I'm curious as to how this one goes
because we do see him hack andslashy multiple times to kill one enemy,
but we also see him just popoff in like one shot people. Yeah,

(40:15):
there's also no like HUD or anythingin this gameplay. Is that going
to be something that's actually in thegame or is it just minimal ghosts?
You can turn it off right right, Yeah. So I have a lot
of gameplay focused questions for sure.But for the first initial showcase I was.
I was blown away. This wasone that I had to I had
to stop what I was doing inthe kitchen. I had to watch this
whole thing. Yeah, I rememberghost of Seeing If you go back to

(40:37):
the very first showing they had forVery three, I wasn't thought like that
was a day one. I justthat, man, this game looks beautiful,
let's see. And then it waswhen I saw more. That's kind
of where I am with this game, where it's not a complete day one,
but the more I see if itwill be the Maker break and stuff
like that. So Fantom Blade kindof you know, generic but cool title.
So coming to PS five. Sothere you go, no date at
all, Day twenty four sometime.Yeah, yeah, okay, this one,

(41:01):
this one blew my mind so thatthis is probably one of my favorite
actual showcase of the blue like thesand. As soon as I saw this
shot right here, I actually justlike was like, holy fuck, I'm
getting a Journey too here. Um, so this is not Journey Too.
This is sort of the sea butthe like basically the exact same aesthetic that's

(41:22):
taken from Journey. This is ofcourse spiritual. Yeah, that that did
Journey. They're expanding upon a newcharacter, new world, but it still
kind of feels like the same world. But Journey is one of my favorite,
like I'm gonna air quote games,ever, it's more of just like
an experience that you go through.I I booted up like every couple of

(41:43):
years, honestly, and I'll justdo like a one sit down play through.
It's not very long. You canget through it and probably like an
hour and a half two hours maxum. And it's just such a beautiful,
like ambient adventure that you go on, like there's no there's no vocals
in it at all, Like nobodysaid as anything beautiful music. You just
really feel the environments and that justtotally bled through in this trailer. So

(42:07):
this is a day one for me. I can't imagine it's going to be
super expensive. I think it'll beon the lower end of it, Like
if it's a ninety dollar game.I don't think I'm gonna us Yeah something
like that. Yeah, exactly.So I never played ab Zoo a Abzu.
That's one of the other games thatthey've done. I think there's one
others that they listed off at theend here, But yeah, this trailer,

(42:28):
it's it's literally just this shot thatI'm paused on right now, which
which is the moon. I'm like, holy fuck, Like I'm I'm getting
back to this as a Journey too. It's not Journey too, it's sort
of the c but I really likethe sort of aesthetic. I like to
see him just like snowboarding essentially inthe sand, and yeah, I cannot
wait to jump on this one.I would imagine it's similar playtime, maybe
a little bit longer to what Journeyis, and I don't need anything more

(42:51):
than that. I think Journey issuch a special experience that really like everyone
should should experience. It's just reallyreally beautiful and master done, and a
lot of replayability in the sense thatlike it's just so good you want to
experience it again. Like there's nothingtoo different on each playthrough, but it's
just really satisfying, Like these shotsare gorgeous with the stand and everything.

(43:13):
Oh yeah, I'm somebody that stillhas not played Journey. I got it
downloaded. I've been waiting for likethat perfect day to do it. It's
been a game that even since liketwenty fourteen, I worked at best,
but I just heard so many timeabout like, oh this a little any
game, you have to play it, and that was that time. Like
I don't really play the any games, you know. I'm like, I
do my own big ip and stufflike that. But yeah, I have
that shot too, So I thinkthis I'll finally make this the time to

(43:37):
sit down and try it out.Maybe I'll make that on my game bucklest
because I've had it for years becauseof PS plus. But I just think
it's been one of these games Iwant to have the time to just sit
down and because I always hear it'slike this experience, right, So so
yeah, all I can say isit looks visually great, but so to
Journey, and I'm sure the studiowill law. This was I think a
good highlight at least for them herebecause it's something that people have been wondering

(43:58):
what the studio has been up to. So yeah, that great name.
Giants Quid, Giant Squid, what'snext? Seas No, I'm just exciting
Tallos Principle too. Um never playedTallos Principle. I always kind of was
intrigued by it, more so oflike what even is it? And this
trailer with how unclear it kind ofis. It's just like a philosophical type

(44:21):
sentient thing you're shaking your head.I don't know. I felt it.
Interest gave me nothing, gave menothing. But like, isn't it the
point, like do you know anythingabout the first game? No, but
you're supposed to say this is ashowcase to sell me, to get me
to buy your game. This doesnothing. It's just just like a robot
walking around. Yeah, but there'stimes where we've had where it's like,
oh, I want to play that, and I didn't play the first one.

(44:43):
Look a ghost Runner, you know. Okay, that's where I don't
know. This just felt like thisfelt like a fake game to me.
This didn't feel like it was areal game, and I'm sure it is.
This is like, yeah, itfeels like one of these games that
they whipped up a cinematic cut sceneand then it's like it doesn't come out
to twenty twenty six, like yeah, we weren't really ready. We just
need to show something so I know. This didn't just didn't do much for

(45:04):
me of making me care about Taloshere. I think it's showcase like it
seems like because to my knowledge,Talles principle is it's like a series of
puzzles that you go through, soyou have like figure out how to like
get through this island. I couldbe totally wrong by that. Maybe some
of the comments will take a bigshooter. It's like that immortal here's my
principle. But like the world thatthey're showing here, like I believe this

(45:29):
is where you're going to be goingthrough, Like like when when you see
um, like I imagine you're therobot that is trying to figure out set
things that you have to do toget into just the next area of the
map UM. But I'm speaking onmy ask because I really have not played
it here. No, I thinkI think you're right something into along the
lines of that. So, yeah, like the Pyramids seems like you gotta

(45:51):
it's like like this seems like alevel. That's me. That's why I
kind of pushed back on you justsaying that it's just a cinematic. It's
it's way more than a cinema.But it has that vibe going to be
going in. Yeah, no,I know that, but it's just like
it's just it's just showing much place, which it's cool. There's some cool
lands marks, but other than thatguy the statue there and maybe one other
shot, there's nothing here where Iwas like, I like this right here,
that's to me, Jared, there'snothing I need to look. I

(46:14):
don't know, it's maybe I wouldhave to look more in the first one,
but this trailer didn't give me enoughof beautiful shots. Yeah that I
don't know what's going on that guy, you know, so yeah. Yeah.
The thing that I that had methe most was actually the dot,
like the voice that's going on andlike what she was talking about. It's
like very U Ex Machina type likething where it's like what it makes us

(46:36):
sentient and like just going to likethat like the hardcore philosophical type ideals,
and I was like, this isthis is interesting and I don't know if
if that's what the whole game isabout, like just that concept that kind
of has me interested. But um, yeah, I feel like because I
didn't know too much, Like watchingthis trailer has informed me so much more
about what the teleis principal is thanwhat I knew beforehand, and it didn't

(46:58):
show too much. So um,it's cool that the fans are there getting
a sequel. This is another onethat I was kind of surprised that we
that we are getting a sequel forit, but um, yeah, that's
it. What is next? Thisis Crease? Is that what it's called?
Oh yeah, yeah, this isthis Crease. It's a sequel too,

(47:22):
it's called yeah from the from thecreators Grease. Is it a sequel
or is it just like Journey whereit's a similar type of game. It's
probably that. It's probably that Ididn't play that title. I thought that
this these characters were from that firstone. But okay, this one's called
Never an e Va or never.Either way, this is one of my
favorite trailers of the showcase. Here. I thought, this is like a

(47:45):
beautiful little like piece of art here. I love what was happening. So
I'm a little bit more near theend here, but I don't know what
like, because I didn't know aboutCrease. I don't know what the game
plays like, I don't know whatyou do and stuff like that. But
this, like this is again,that's one on the radar. This is
one that I'd probably wait till ittook up, you know, gains games
passes, thing like that. ButI really really enjoyed this trailer here and

(48:09):
just the story beats. It lookedlike it was touching more on some emotional
story beats. So I, um, yeah, this this is one.
Yeah believe it's like a brilliant too. Oh the yeah, the art is
brilliant. It's it's similar. Imean it's very similar art still to what
that first game was. The firstgame was more of a platformer, which
I imagine this one would be somethingsimilar. Um, but very like Yeah,

(48:30):
I think you hit the nail onthe head of just like pulling on
those emotional strings a little bit,like really good storytelling. Even though that
I don't think there's much dialogue gainsttrailer, like maybe a little bit things
that she says there, but it'sjust it shows so much. I was
like almost getting emotional watch it.This is like very beautiful trailer and it's

(48:51):
just like wow, Like I likethe I think it's something that like indie
titles do so well, like they'reable to squeeze so much emotion and feel
out of not having a massive tripleA budget where you like have a one
hundred and seventy hour story to tell, like you like you just you really
contain it, develovered digital attached toit there, so that makes sense.

(49:13):
But yeah, I was very impressedby that, but I don't know.
I don't I don't have too muchpulling me for that. Like I said,
I'm curious what the gameplay is gonnabe here, but uh yeah,
this one. Um, Gwen's veryexcited for this game. I also don't
have much to add on Kat's Questand the parts of the Puribbean, but
she was this caught her interest andshe, oh, I'd like to play

(49:35):
a game. We'll go, okay, well we'll have to get you.
I'm not sure where the difficulty isgonna be. I never know. When
they showed a showcase, hopefully there'slike a kid's easy mode, but ring
yeah fuck, but yeah, it'sthe new quest parts of the Purbean.
I can say, at least forGwen. She saw this and I was
like, she was in so Iwas like, okay, that's that's cool.
But yeah, that's all right,let's say games we've seen before.

(49:57):
It looks cute. It looked likethe gameplay is to what like what you
said, It's not anything I haven'tseen before, but like I think it,
I think it still looks entertaining.I'm not a super big cat guy,
and there you go, says heplayed the first it was fun,
good for all ages. He'd say, perfect, good there, you gonna
be excited. She's like, Iknow this might be too hard for me
because right now she's just on DuneTomorrow and still just the Paw Patrol games.

(50:20):
But it looked, it looked funny. I had like this would be
at least a game that I wouldwant Gwen to play more than the Paw
Patrol game because I could maybe enjoywatching stuff like that. So what's up
next? Here? Here we gotFoam Stars, uh, Splatoon. I
got some Knockout City vibes from ittoo. I don't know what this game

(50:42):
is gonna cost. I don't knowif it's free to play. It better
be free and know what's gonna happen. It's gonna be free and just like
Dunk City, just like some otherones, it's gonna fit this. I
don't know. I don't I'm allfor So there's two sides of me,
right, the creative signs like,great, you want to make a game
out Foam Wars, fantastic, youdo whatever you want to do. I'm

(51:05):
happy for you. Switching right intothe business side, I don't know who
the fuck let this game go through. I don't know who thought this was
gonna be a good idea that wasgonna pop off. This just looks to
me comically bad and just the ideaof like, I feel like it's a
gamick. You play and you like, play a round in arcade again the
arcade they like, Oh, that'sall right, and then you never think
of it again. I don't knowwhat they're think. So if this thing's

(51:27):
a fucking sixty dollar game, thishas battle Borne written all over as far
as this game is fucking like eatsit like, yeah, Jessica's favorite game,
remember, I just like, Idon't. I could not understand.
And here's my thing for me withthe Showcase, this being on the Showcase,
this is embarrassing. This brought itdown. And I'm not trying to

(51:49):
be mean to the creators and stufflike that, but this is the PlayStation
Showcase. This has to like yougotta have the big hitters. This is
not the big fucking hitters. Thisgame looks like a mess and stuff like
that. Yeah, it's gonna costanyhow, was making for those Avengers lost
full of NFT goodness? Yeah,I just thought all around this was bad
and I don't know, but Kirkland, you know, it has some anime

(52:10):
aesthetics, so maybe you're digging it. How do you feel about what is
it space foam or whatever? Foamstores, foamsters with terrible aults that.
Yeah, yeah, I I can'tsee this being not free. If it's
not free, I'm gonna be incrediblysurprised. Um. I think it looks

(52:34):
fun like I doesn't. It's justlike a messive colors, like what's go
back in the gameplay? That's great? Like go back in the gameplay?
How do you like win? Likewhat's the winning goal here? Like just
covering up whoever the most color?Like it's it seems like a Splatoon type
type situation. I don't know ifyou ever played Splatoon, but you're just
like a little yeah yeah, Likethat's really what it feels like here with

(52:57):
some Knockout City aesthetic vibe to it. I don't know. It seems like
something that hopefully isn't too hard topick up. The Berriod entry better man's
picking it up. That's the goodpeople in it. But like, if
it's free, you know people areplaying Knockout City for a while. I
don't think we're gonna be talking aboutthis in ten years? About intent?
Do you think we're gonna tumble usin a year other than main purposes?

(53:19):
That's what I know, not atall. Yeah, I was surprised to
see this. This is one whereI was definitely focused a lot more on
my my dishes I was doing thanthan the actual trailer. But yeah,
I don't know it does. Iwill be watching it now though, just
to show that I'm right. Jointhe phone blasting frenzy. It just sounds
dirt even, but all right,pause it here. We'll take a the

(53:42):
next twenty four hour stream. IfI think what we're gonna be doing for
the next twenty four hour stream,because we have with the Gauntlet being done,
we have a lot of empty things. So what we're probably gonna do
is like, hey, when wehit two fifty five under, we'll unlock,
Like, hey, we'll do this, We'll do this this man,
Well, i'll set that at acertain amount. If we hit a certain
amount, I'll play fucking foam stars. I'll buy fucking foam stars. If
we hit that. Maybe I'll sayyeah, maybe if we hit it.

(54:04):
No, you know, I'll saythis right now because I think our goal
probably like three thousand and three somewherein there because we didn't hit it last
year. If we hit the goal, I'll fucking buy that game on air
and we'll play it, and I'llsit there and play fucking Foam Stars whatever
the price is. Luckily at thatpoint it's probably gonna be like two dollars
because it's gonna not sell. Butlet's take me off the PlayStation store.
Yeah anymore. Yeah, it's justdiscontinued already. Uh yeah, so hold

(54:30):
me that. But yeah, let'stake our second ad break. We'll be
right back, and we're back.So I don't know what this is,
but again, this is one thatfor the father me, it's I guess
what the plucky squire, right.But I just mean, like, as
far as this was a cute game, this is one that I would play
or I'd like Gwen to play becauseI don't know what the age gap is.
But I love this idea of thischaracter that's in a store book that

(54:52):
goes in the real world. Thatto me, it just sounds like that
gets like the I don't know,the imagination kid vibes me like, oh,
this is a fun concept. It'slike something that I never got to
play. That that two Nikki gameI watched at some point with the Fox
and Guy, and there's a coupleother ones where it's just like I feel
like there's games or like what wasthat I think you got, like the

(55:12):
Keena and the Spirits or whatever.Oh yeah, and the Bridge of Spirits.
Yeah it was that. It didbe good. Yeah, one time
want to so like I still Ithink there's just times where because our lives
and the reuse schedule, these gamesget pushed to the back. But this
to me like invoked a sense ofavengution. This was one that I'm hoping
is good because I'd like to playit with Gwen or have me played a
watch or something like it. Iliked the concept this was a Pixar movie.

(55:35):
I'd be like, oh, thisis a fun idea, a characterized
storybook comes to the real world,like that. There's one shot when you
get to it, he's like fightingthe bugs, and I thought they looked
really cool. I liked the aesthetichere, So again this one was actually
a thumbs up for me. Yeah, absolutely, I Um, Dylan and
I covered this. I can't rememberwhen it was it was first revealed,
but it was on Side Quests Idon't know, probably within the last year,

(55:57):
but I was like, we're bothjust very pressed with it. Um
every everything that you were saying,like like, it just really looks cool
about him like in the book,but then also like translating that to in
the real world and just the differentlike things that you're interacting with it,
whether it's enemies or uh like otherside type characters. Uh, it just
looks it looks really really cool andunique, and I think unique is the

(56:19):
big part of it. Like itjust it's the same sort of thing that
um It Takes two had for me, where it's like you're you're you're just
like the small little doll in likein this in this world that has big
things. It's the same thing thatToy Story kind of does, just interacting
with big small objects. And there'ssomething about that that just just really really

(56:39):
rubs me the right way. Anduh yeah, I'm I'm I'm really excited
to get in this. I reallylike the music and everything for it.
Um. I think this could beone that Shan and I have a lot
of fun going through together. AndI think it's just single player. I
can't remember what they showed there,but um, I don't know. I'll
have to and I can't remember didthis have a day eight on it at

(57:00):
all at the end of this orwas it just one of these like generic
dates or something like that. Iwould imagine it has the twenty twenty three
title. I'd be surprised if itdoesn't. Okay, But yeah, very
very fun. I like all that, and I like it's like kind of
some different styles of artwork too,especially when he gets out of the book.
So yeah, I got my eyeson this one. Again, depends
what services on and stuff like that. But um yeah, like I said,

(57:22):
I can't remember if there's a dataon it or not. We'll see
here in a second. Oh yeah. Reminds me of that Switch game that
I never played. It's like avery similar to Toy Soldiers or Soldiers where
you're like, it's like a shootergame where it's like yeah, yeah,
and I always want to get thatyeah, And I don't know why.
Maybe I'll get that twy for ASHR. I gonna start making a list of
games I want to get for thatstream, you know. So Plucky Squire

(57:45):
just twenty twenty three right now.I'm not sure if there said anything else
at the end of this title.Yeah, maybe we'll see. But those
generics year dates I always get worriedabout, you know, because that's a
yeah. Ps five, So okay, another digital devolving game. Digital all
there, you know, they're there, They're in my eyes. This one.
That's probably what we were covering.It was probably like the Devolver Digital

(58:07):
Showcase or something like that. Wesaw that, yeah, what's up next?
Here up next? We got teardown very minecrafty feel to it.
Um I was. I was prettyimpressed by this actually, I think because
it just had that Minecraft thing toit. I wasn't really big in a
Minecraft. It played a little bit, but didn't really like take over me

(58:30):
like it did a lot of peoplethat I know. Some people just spend
hundreds upon probably thousands of hours ofMinecraft, like it just really gets them
going. And watching the trailer,I was like, man, there was
a point in time in my lifethat I feel like this could have just
like could have just taken me over, Like like I totally would have loved
what this was. I don't knowif it's like it's almost like a heist

(58:51):
type thing that they're doing, butalso like you're just destroying things, like
it just seems something that could beso fun to do with friends, and
I don't know, there's some thingsin here that reminded me of like Payday
Payday two, have a lot alot of hours playing that with a lot
of friends, and just I don'tknow, there's something about it that just
really kept us coming back and watchingthis trailer. It kind of has that

(59:14):
same feel for whatever reason. It'snot too similar to what Payday two is.
It's actually very different, especially theaesthetic, but it just it looks
like something that could be very,very very fun and I don't I don't
even know what it is that mightbe. The explosions might be just like
how creative you can kind of getwith certain things. But yeah, I

(59:34):
was kind of surprised to not seelike the Minecraft, like I don't know,
tag on it too, just becauseof the aesthetic. But oh yeah,
that's all the whole The whole time, I thought like, well,
is this some sort of Minecraft thing? Like I know they've been on PlayStation
before, but it's still like That'swhy I was like, if it's Minecraft,
it's weird that's debuting here because it'san Xbox thing, right, But

(59:54):
yeah, I know, I likedit. It's one that I think I
would maybe have more fun playing thanwatching here. I need to see.
But I see, yes, Bobs, he was pretty funny and stuff like
or funny. I'm saying funny funny. He was funny because I see Taylor
in here trying to be funny andstuff like that. Taylor says, oh,
best showcase of all time. No, it wasn't, but at least
we've had that multiple times. Whenthe Xbox have that home, I guess

(01:00:15):
they haven't, right, that's whatthe guys thought about him being in third
place. But yeah, it looksfun but it's not. It didn't look
like a Traviscan, that's all say. In the way of like I'm watching
it now, you know, itlooks like one that maybe i'd like to
see busted out on the stream andthen like, hey give me a shot,
let me play this and stuff likethat. So yeah, not on
the radar yet, but yeah,we'll see, we'll see. All right,

(01:00:37):
what's next? It's coming. Ididn't see the date. Oh this
is the big one, right,This is the one that at first the
entire discord thought it was the antMan game, which is funny enough,
Like I wouldn't have thought was notimpossible, you know, because like the
day and age we are, andsomeone want to make a grounded version of
that. But um yeah, sowe get this, well, I'm not

(01:01:00):
gonna break down this train. It'sfucking ants and that it's pretty much showing
a food chain, right if thingsgetting eaten by one thing and even by
another thing ends with snake, whichsnakes, he's odd stuff and shit like
that. Um so this is somethingthat's been rumored for a while that they
were remaking three. I think they'resmart to say that it's just middle Gear
snake Eater, and if you know, it's kind of works as like somewhat

(01:01:24):
of an origin prequel story because there'sa whole convoluted thing of like we were
just talking about, there's Salt Snake, there's Big Boss, there's Naked Snake,
which this is naked snake and stufflike that. So, um yeah,
it's one of those things that forme, I'm very curious because they
had put out obviously what was it. I was gonna try and get some

(01:01:45):
sales figures on there, but likeremember they had put out that game where
Middle Girl Sold five came out reviewedvery well Coagina's last game, The hell
him hostage for a bit and theyput out like that he was like middle
Gear Survival Grounds or something like that, Like he was just like, no,
no grounds here. That was apre equal to five. It's something
where it's like a it's like anonline like it's like you, okay,

(01:02:05):
yeah, it didn't do well,it didn't do great. I feel like
they just look at right now andthey say, hey, hey, pause
it right there on Snake, that'sa good place to leave right there.
They I feel like they looked atit and they went, man, Capcom
is killing it over there with thoseremakes of games that you know are of
old age that are loved. Wedon't want to make a ground up Mental
Gear right now. We don't haveKajima. So Mental Gear survived, Thank

(01:02:29):
you very much to read Mike.And it was I never touched it.
It was not great from what I'veheard from everybody. So what I want
to ask you is like, doyou think because like remakes are all a
rage, right, it's not.It's not a what is it. It's
not a rematch, It's remakes.So it's gonna be like from the ground
up and everything like that I thinkit's smart that they're not doing Metal Gear
three. They're dropping that just calledSnake Eater and the fact that kind of

(01:02:50):
has some prequel elements in a wayof like telling some things about Snake.
It's in a way where it's likeyou can kind of pick it up,
So like, do you think thiscan be six sol Kajima in this day
and age remake? And honestly,this is the thing is they didn't even
say who is making this game,so that's been the other thing is people
are like very wondering what's going onwith it. But yeah, I think

(01:03:12):
this can do very very well evenwithout hid A Kagema. I I think
because they already have the story,like they already have the characters, they
don't need to source that from justsomeone's imagination. Like they have all of
the pieces now, they just haveto have like the technical people that can
take that modernize it, do whatthey did with like Resoneval two, Resideval
four remakes Um and I think thatI think I think it's going to be

(01:03:36):
very successful when it does come out. I think there's just so much nostalgia
to Metal Gear Solidum, the onlyone I've actually played through is metal Gear
solid four um, and like Ireally like the Yeah, like I really
like metal Gear and like what itkind of is, but like I really
don't know much about like the overalllike like super like like like if you're

(01:04:00):
Salid four, like there's certain thingsthat happen, and I'm like, I
have no fucking idea if that's avillain, if that's a hero. I
remember the first time you see likeBig Boss and I'm like, isn't that
me? Like I'm so confused rightnow. Well, like this is Naked
Snake, who is like he's technicallylike Naked Snaked before he becomes Big Boss.
This is like it's like the realguy. And then in like in

(01:04:21):
one and four that's like Salt Snakeis like a clone of Naked Snake and
he's like has a silery life andstuff like that. But you play as
Naked Snake in this you play ashim. It's just the last one of
five, so there's like it's likea spiderment and clones. There's tons of
cloning and stuff going on that likeit's a huge mess of things. But
that's where this one. I feellike three is kind of smart because it

(01:04:42):
is just about Hey, it's likehow did like how to? Like why
would they clone this guy named Snake? Right? His real name? Day?
Like why would they clone him?And it kind of acts as like
it's a sequel prequel, And Ifeel like if you're remaking, it's kind
of a smart place to start becauseif it's a if it's not a three,
and it's just like a remake andit's like his origin, you could
look at that for a new person. It's like a good place to jump
on, right, It's like thebeginning of his story of snake story.

(01:05:05):
So yeah, no, for sure. I when it eventually comes, like
I said, I think it's goingto do very very well numbers wise,
and not David sorry John, hisreal name is. I don't know where
I got David from. So John, David Washington that's here. That's probably
it. It's from Washington. No, I don't know. So yeah,
I don't think this. I don'tthink this reveal was really too amazing either.

(01:05:29):
Like I just think like the foodchain type thing, it's like,
okay, very cliche type thing.I get it. There's always a bigger
fish, and then we end onhim and I'm like, Okay, he's
looking beautiful, so they kind ofhad me in the end. But yeah,
overall, I didn't think it wasanything too too amazing. Yeah,
I think this was just to getit out there that hey, this is
official, it's happening and stuff likethat. They announced like they're doing like

(01:05:51):
oh, you're gonna do the LegacyTrilogy, but they've done that on a
bunch of consoles, so that's nota big deal and stuff like that,
and there's some games missing there.So yeah, I'm very curious how it's
gonna go. It is a remake, so that's a good thing of like
you don't need Kajima persage. It'slike, well, we're gonna take his
greatness and just remake it right andPaul shit and stuff like that. In
this day and age, I don'tknow where I am because I'm somebody that

(01:06:13):
I love Mino gar Soul. Ilove the franchise. I love the fifth
one the most, but I feellike I love that the one the most
is because I play that like mostrecently. In the way I mean that
it is like all those other gamesof like the PlayStation two era, they're
just like clogged together in my mind, Like I remember playing them and really
enjoying them, but like it's justlike a semblance of just mixed up stuff.

(01:06:34):
You know. It's like the wayI was talking about with today on
Marvel Alliance with Chris. I waslike that when I have the Spiderman game,
the DLC and the Miles thing,that just feels like one big game.
But I know it's three separate games, but it's just so it's one
that I want to re kind ofplay them all as an adult and with
like a you know, like somedifferent game play in there and stuff.
So I'm very curious to see howit's going to do without Kajima and how

(01:06:57):
it's gonna just even review and stufflike that, because if this hits well,
I think you'll get a remake ofprobably the rest of them, Like
what they're doing with the Resident Evil, right, I think you'll keep They'll
keep pumping those out, So thatwould that would be that would be crazy,
honestly if they did that, becauseI feel like it there's so many
people, um, I mean,like I've played one of the games all
the way through, but there's somany people that have heard of the mal

(01:07:18):
Gear Solid franchise. But I've neverjumped in and if they do the full
ground up kind of like what they'redoing with the Resident Evil, I think
that could just bring so many people'sattention to this, this series that's so
important and just the overall landscape ofgaming. So that's really cool. Um,
Superman Mike and the chat was askingthey never made a full remaster order
make of the first game, wasdoing some digg in and no they haven't.

(01:07:40):
So that's that's something too that theythey paired in with at the end
of this. They're remastering the releaseof I think the first three games.
I mean, they're they've definitely donethat before though, have they though?
Yeah, But it's just it's justlike a rerelease and it's just like,
oh it's seven twenty or ten,Like I think, it's just the exact
same game. They don't be textureor anything and definition. Yeah, so

(01:08:02):
that's what I mean, they're claimingthat's what they're doing here. Okay,
so okay, fair enough. Iguess that because they've sold these collections before
stuff because I went into Xbox theydid that right when it was no longer
exclusive. But yeah, great littlephoto there. Yeah, I'm always down
for some snake action but we'll seethis one. That one legitately is a
based on reviews because I don't trustthem as much as Capcom. Like obviously

(01:08:26):
Konami's had some if he runs thesepast couple of years, right, So
for me, I'm in a waitand see. I love Snake, but
it's like, do I love Snakeby himself or do I love Snake with
Kajima? And I feel like itmight be the latter because Kajima just had
that touch, so and then yeah, if you get these, you get
these three titles. Volume one.They're titling it, so they're there's the

(01:08:47):
Fall and um no date on thisone, no just autom Yeah no,
I mean I mean Snaky like thethe Big Remake one. No date on
that, So I feel like that'sif lucky like late like next Fall,
but I don't even know about that. This was just a cinematics. This
could be like twenty five. Itsaid twenty Yeah, it said PS five,

(01:09:09):
So in the life's life cycle ofthe PS five you'll see this,
uh, which is kind of funny. It could be near the end.
Um. Yeah cool. And I'mactually kind of interested in this just to
like actually get through those those originaltitles. Um, heard really great things
about the second one. Um,yeah, moving on we go, what's

(01:09:30):
next there? Powers of Oh gosh, bah, I don't know. God,
I don't remember this at all.Um, I kind of do.
Now's sad play. Um yeah,I'm gonna pass on this one. I
think that unless I hear really amazingthings like like it like it has a
cool world that it's kind of introducing. It's very dark. I don't know,

(01:09:55):
it's like the Breath of Wild ripoff everyone was joking about. I
think that's what it is. Yeah, that's what may making the joke of
about. Yeah, because yeah,because at one point here I think he's
like gliding like like Link is inthe New Yer games. I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, I forgot about it andthere's nothing here. Now I'm seeing
it them, remembering like yeah,this wasn't yeah, just nothing nothing pulled

(01:10:15):
me here, you know. Yeah, I think he's gonna glide. So
hopefully it's like a I don't know, a sleeper that really surprised people,
but not expect to go to thenext game. We don't get much to
say that there's there. Yeah,so yeah, no, I'll go play
Tears the Kingdom one day. Yeah, little too. This is the other
big one that we already knew aboutobviously, it's coming out soon, Final

(01:10:38):
Fantasy sixteen. It's so funny becausethe last trailer um that they that was
actually the gameplay showcase where it wasa very long just explanation of what the
game is storywise as well as gameplaywise. Dylan and I broke that down,
and um, I was so blownaway by that, and I'm like,
I know, I'm not buying thisbecause I have Final Fantasy fifteen,
and like, these are like onehundred plus hour games, like you can

(01:11:00):
spend so many hours into it,but they're fucking amazing from what I hear.
Tyler Patre Patreon, Tyler Ships,drum Power, Patreon power. Yeah,
that's our chance. He's sunk inhundreds of hours of Final Fantasy fifteen.
He's very excited for this one.So, um, I've always been
retired from these games. You know, it's just because of that, because
I just don't. I'm like you, I don't, I won't have the

(01:11:21):
time, you know, but likethey look amazing and it looks so fun
and like when Dylan and I brokedown that that showcase, I was like
holy fuck, Like I really wantto get into this, even though I
know I can't. I can't spendone hundred bucks on something, but I
know I won't get into But oneday I hope I can jump into this,
and yeah, I hope it deliverswith how good it looks, because
everything that they've shown for it hasbeen very very impressed, if very impressed

(01:11:45):
impressed. Yeah, when I doFinal Fantasy. The next thing on my
list is the Final Fantasy seven remake, which I have but I just haven't
dabbled in yet and stuff like that. So and this, this is a
game I talk about with them whenthey're like, man, I can't wait
till retired, because there will beI'll have many things to do and stuff
like that. I would love FoundFantasy. I played a bunch in the

(01:12:06):
PS two era little PS three,but it's like at that point where it's
like I don't even know where doI just pick up a random game and
go, Do I just start over? I don't know. I'm probably not
starting over. So one day Imight jump back into it, but today
is not that day. Today isnot that day. Let's great, Mike
says, Game of the Summer forme, yes, I do think he's

(01:12:28):
not alone. I think there's manypeople that are hype for this, and
I hope it delivers as uh,like I already said, I'm gonna repeat
what I'm saying. Yeah, unfortunate. All these teams are gonna lose the
zel different game in the year,So don't worry about it. It's all.
That's just it. Everything by whoby what? Fantasy sixteen? No,
not a chance, not a chance, Nope, I'm not a chance.

(01:12:50):
Not a chance. Pizza bat,pizza bat pizza. Here's my pizza,
medium pizza bat. No, it'slarge. Pause pause pause. I'm
saying the Game Awards, you canhave any other nominee win and you get
a pizza. I have Zell towin and I get a pizza. So
usually there's seven ominies. You gotlike what a like a what was that

(01:13:12):
percentage? Seven? What's seven outof eight? What's six out of seven?
Six out of sevens that percentage?Yeah, it's high though, right,
it's probably eighty five something like that. You know, I think you,
I think you have the odds ofthat. But it's just even with
some game saying that there's no chancefor something like Final Fantasy sixteen. I
think that's just that's false. Icould be someone in the discord pizza at

(01:13:32):
me because I'm gonna I'm gonna getthis, because it's just they Zella.
They love Zella. Like there's beenall those comparisons of literally people being like
it's the exact same map of Breathof the Wild, and like Nintano just
gets away with it, like thegraphics go down and now here's the thing.
It's not about that. I getthat. That's the gameplay is great,
that's why people love it. Iwill eventually get to at some point.

(01:13:53):
But I just feel like people likethe first game were very over They
got overhyped on that game, inmy opinion, and they're doing it again.
So I don't think there's a SpiderMan this. You could put out
fucking Last of Us three. Youcould put out Fable, you could God
could create a game. It's like, yeah, but it's not. It's
not Tears of the Kingdom, isit God? You know? So it's
no way Tears the Kingdom has itlocked already. I hope there's I hope

(01:14:16):
there's a year that we get likethe next Tears of whatever, it's the
exact same game just upgraded like theydid for this one, and I hope
it loses. I never will,but I hope it can be. That's
just ridiculous to me that like,yeah, I haven't played. There has
lots of new things in there too. Don't jump on me, everybody.
I hear it's great. You canbuild Dix and like crucify little people.

(01:14:38):
I've heard it's great, but likestill, it's like I see it and
I'm like, there's better games thanthis, Like I've played better games than
this for aesthetically, yeah, butyou can do these things in with Link
now, yeah, with Zelda.Anyways, I'm Wake two. I'm somebody
that I have never fully played thefirst one. I wish I got a

(01:15:00):
Spider Man day because first of all, he just looks like John Wick the
entire time on this trailer, andAl'm wake. I'm pretty sure it's like
always on like PS Plus or likegame like Xbox Games pel. I think
it's one that yeah, if Iwant to jump in, I can jump
in. This is one where itwas like again and I'm like, like,
we're gonna see this at other placesfor the showcase. I don't know
why here it's not a PlayStation exclusive, So, um, I want to

(01:15:26):
get into it. I want to. It's just a I have a backlog
of games, but I want tofully play through that one now. So
if this could be a game thatmaybe if Spiderman two does get delayed or
something that I could see me edgeinggoing okay, but this for me fully
goes on. I have to playthe first one, so I don't think
i'll get it this year, butit's it's on my radar because it's everything
that I like, and I likethey're showing this when you're doing the duel

(01:15:47):
playing of the plays on Wake andobviously is FBI Agent, so it's a
Travis. It's a Travis game.It's not first person. So I'm very
caught in the middle right now ifI dip my toes in it. But
it's just what we talked about,right of how many games do you want
to be buying in a fall season? And if Spider Man comes out,
do I want to have this oneas well? I don't know, so
we'll see. But I thought theshowing was great. It looks like everything

(01:16:09):
I want. Yeah, it lookedreally really impressive. Um I I didn't
clue in that this was Allen Wakeright away, so I was just like,
what is this terrifying game? Yeah, like like it was the writer
guy. And then like it reallydid not clue in until I was seeing
like the shadowy figures because I wasbasically the same antagonist that you're fighting in

(01:16:31):
the first game. Um. Butlike the game play wise, especially like
like it just seems residente eval tome of like especially the older over the
shoulder. Um, the the aestheticlooked really terrifying, and this looked really
impressive. But I have not playedthrough Alan Wake. There was a point
in time when I was very verywanting to get into Alan Wake. I

(01:16:53):
just I don't know, I likenever bought the game, and then it
just like years went on and it'sjust like some of one of those things
I just missed, and uh,I don't know, maybe maybe one day
I'll jump into it. But becausethis trailer was very impressive, it looked
looked really really freaky. Um thestory wise, like the story elements look
really cool. But yeah, it'sI'm happy for the Allen Weake fans for

(01:17:15):
this one because it seems like they'vebeen waiting for a very long time.
Yeah, sixty I think was thatat the first Allen weakend. Yeah,
so we'll see. I don't know, like maybe maybe maybe if Dylan gets
it, maybe you'd pull my armfor a retro even or something like that.
But i'd have to see how longthat first one is too, because
I feel like I've never heard itbeing like a super super long game.
But um, yeah, let's let'stake in an ad break and then we'll

(01:17:36):
jump into what Taylor's probably jells aboutsomewhere, so we'll be right back.
Oh and we're back. So youguys actually talked about this last sight quest
about how it got you know,delayeding though it was an official date out
there, but still eternally delayed.Um, so I will say Assassin's Creed
as I'm packing up, I actuallysee my Assassin's Creed one and two over

(01:17:56):
there right now. I was afan of them when they started. Then
I was kind of done with them. There's these past few ones for i'd
say a couple of years ago withOdyssey and just these other ones where previously
come out and went, oh,I'd maybe like to get back in that
world, and then something happens togo, okay, I'm bind this gave
instead this is the first one sincethat era that I saw it. I
went, you know what, Icould skip this one easily. Nothing to

(01:18:17):
me. There's nothing that looks andit's funny people say it looks like the
original Assassin's Creed, which I likedenough, but there's nothing here that had
like a hook. There's nothing thatlike the other ones have had recently where
it's like, oh, it's thiserror, it's this character, it's this
dynamic. This just looked like moreAssassin's Creed. Again, I'm more on
the Assassin's Creed Red band waging whenthey go to Japan. But then again,

(01:18:39):
at the same time, it's likeI still have goes to Sushima now
Phantom played, so I'll probably stillnever play these. So this, I
think was this did nothing for me, This Assassin Creed. This looks like
when we're getting the yearly Assassin Creedsand thank you super micro update, it's
about ten hours, so you knowwhat, that's not a bad frown wake.
It's you know, that's doable,that that's something so maybe maybe,

(01:18:59):
but yeah, what don't you feelor one session one session a month,
yeah, one one hour session everymonth and stuff like that, but uh,
yeah, what do you think dothis one do anything for you?
Yeah? This so this is abig deal because they're going back to their
origins like that era. Um.And I haven't been playing as Sassacreed since
Odyssey too much. Never got fullythrough that one. I really enjoyed it,

(01:19:20):
but it's just it's a media gameto get through and I didn't get
all the way through it, andum, yeah, and like just knowing
that they're going back to the originsthat that was really cool. My favorite
one of all time was the secondone maybe, but the first one kind
of close behind it just for likewhat it was at the time that there's
no game that was like it,um, And so to go going back

(01:19:41):
to that era, I feel likeI should have had a lot more like
just nostalgia for it, because it'slike, oh, I recognize these type
of things, And I definitely hadthat thought watching this trad on, like
I recognize this. It's because it'sit's just the exact same thing that I've
seen from a Sassacred games. There'sthis little montage like he's doing the leap
of faith here, but there's alittle monstage where they're like show casing like
what you could be doing in it, like you know, assassinated, assassinating

(01:20:02):
people with your hidden blade, thesepickpocketing, he's like opening doors, he's
like just meditating, which is likebasically waiting for a day night cycle.
And I'm like this just seems soold like this, this seems like a
three sixty era type, Like they'renot showcasing anything big where I remember the
first time that they showcase that Assassakredthree trailer where there's just so many elements

(01:20:25):
that were like brand new to thegame, Like you could like climb up
trees like really cleanly. You canrun and like pick up like an like
an object in the same motion,like the combat that they're showcasing here.
I'm sure it's not the case,but like there's some animations. I'm like,
I feel like I've I've done thatbefore, like in an old game.
So this really really unimpressed me.Not just like neutral, but like

(01:20:46):
I was like, wow, LikeI feel like in all of their last
showcases they've showed something really brand new. And I guess you can make the
argument, oh, it's because they'regoing back to their origin, but I
don't know. It just wasn't animpressive trailer. I think if this came
out a long time ago, itwould have been a beautiful trailer. Um
and I'm sure it's still gonna befun. But it's yeah, nothing new.

(01:21:08):
It's it's just Assassin's Creed. Soit was very I don't even want
to say it light down because I'mlike, I'm not big into the asassins
Creed anymore. Um finances into Red. You know, they know where the
focus is. They got to nailthat Japan one, so yeah, yeah,
there you go. Do you thinkthat, like they're not gonna make
an Assassin's Creed in Japan and makeit a white protagonist, right, Like,

(01:21:29):
there's no fucking way. No,I can't. I just I can
just see it just to cover TomCruise. Yeah, the last Samurai,
all right, the next last Samurai, Last Samurai? Yeah good, but
you know good Flick Revenue Hill,Revend Hill. Why do I not remember
this one at all? It's it'sa very short trailer, that's why.

(01:21:51):
But just captured on PC. It'suh, it's got a cool aesthetic to
it. I don't think I'll checkit out. This might be one that
like random, but he just comesacross my my, my, showcase of
games, and it's just like,oh, I think I remember this one
from the from the showcase. ButI'm I'm buying this day one. Yeah
you can skip this. I gotnothing to say. Okay when even Gwen

(01:22:13):
washed this sho didn't say anything.So there's your your sign there. So
Grand Blue Fantasy Relink. This onekind of great title, very animal,
very very anime game brand, GrandBlue Fantasy Relink Um. I was kind
of impressed by this. I feellike this could be one. I don't
know that the gameplay looks fun.It very much reminds me of a game

(01:22:35):
that I played before, but Idon't know. Like the color aspect looked
really cool. Different characters and villainslook fun. But I probably just will
forget about this and yeah and throwingthe mix. But like the trailer I
think looked cool. I'm curious ifthis is the one that's like way bigger
in Japan or something. I don'treally know. I don't know if this
is a previous series or if it'sbrand new. It must be a previous

(01:22:57):
series. It just looks like itjust looks like one of those where we've
seen this game elsewhere, but looka lot like smoother and cleaner and stuff
like that. Um, yeah,no, this is not nothing for your
your friend Tresse now here. Somister ferret um, I got nothing on
this one either. You're sick.Yeah. If I buy a fighting game,

(01:23:17):
it's Moral Kombat. That the otherthat's the other fall game. I'm
thinking about tapping my toes and justbecause reboot those hand Homelander rumors. But
yeah, I never been a streetfire guy. Yeah, I mean either,
So I'll just I'll let it playwhile I oh my little rant here
because because Taylor and I were talkingabout MK one and the fact that it's
like redoing the franchise, I wastotally wrong because I watched the cinematic and

(01:23:41):
it is a sequel to the lastgame. But what happens in that sequel,
obviously it depends on which character youyou like finish the story with.
Everyone has their own ending, butthe true cannon ending is um uh,
what's his name? Luke King?Luke King and raiding they like combine to
make like like is like the newHe's like it's like the thunder and fire

(01:24:02):
gods like like yeah, like essentially, like that is what that being is
and that is the raiding type characterin this new one, so it is
a continuation from that, but atthe end of what that game is morel
Kombat eleven, depending on who youplay as, you actually reset the timeline
and like make it that way.So if you're if you're playing as a
bad guy, it's it's bad thingshappen, of course, But but the

(01:24:25):
true canon one is what essentially thisgame is going to be. So it
is interesting that they're going that route. But it's not just we're forgetting about
it, like it is continuing onbut bringing back those iconic characters. So
I'm very excited for that. It'sfunny I used a little more combat segment
during the Street Fighting. Yeah,it's it's to your point, like if
I'm getting an Arcade Fighter, myfranchise is moral Combat. Even though um

(01:24:48):
I know Street Fight like it's thesixth game now, like it obviously has
its following. I think it's gotan esport to it as well. I
would imagine if more combat does so, um yeah. June twenty twenty three.
This is another one too that Ijust feel like I've known about it
for so long, so like seeingit here, it was it felt a

(01:25:08):
little out of place. This isUltros Aultros. I think it's called UM.
I believe this is from the samestudio that did Dead Cells, and
if if I'm wrong, there,it's it's like completely ripped off of it
because the gameplay, the aesthetics differentfor sure, but the platform aspect like,

(01:25:29):
yeah, like all of this looksexactly to like Dead Cells. Not
sure if anyone else in the andthe shot there's played, I guarantee Travis
is not UM. But I reallylike this. I've Dead Cells type of
game, but I've never made itall the way through. It's pretty challenging,
but had a lot of fun playingthe bosses and just doing certain runs
for it, and this is justanother one that looks like a fun platform

(01:25:49):
me um type game. Ultros isthat that? Yeah, it is called
Ultros Ultrous sides are really Yeah.I don't know, maybe it's not from

(01:26:13):
the same studio, but nonetheless itlooks uh yeah, you read Mike,
looks like Guaca Melee two. Inever played that one. I've heard some
good things in here, but yeah, it just looks very alien. Twenty
twenty four is the title there?Um. I actually don't think it is
from the same studio that did DeadThols. I didn't even see a publisher
there or anyone, but alas herewe are living on next we got what's

(01:26:41):
coming up here? Oh this isTower of Fantasy. Um. This was
This was another kind of surprising onewhere it just looked like one that very
missable. I probably will be missingthis one, but still it's probably just
the anime aspect to It's something justhad me intrigued by it. And uh,

(01:27:04):
I don't know if I was aretired man and I could just play
it forever. The this particular gamelike gameplay as well, very much reminds
me of Nino Cooney to Revenant Kingdomgameplay. Shan and I spent hundreds of
hours playing that game. I don'tthink it's from the same studio, but
it looks very similar esthetic wise,and for that reason, I could see,

(01:27:25):
like, especially if she shows interestedin this, I could see us
picking this one up. This one, though, seems like another hundred plus
hour sink. Yeah, RPG elementto it, but you know, there's
there's something that's speaking to me thatmakes me, I don't know, at
least have it on my radar andnot just give it an immediate pass.
Shay shows no interest. I'm notpicking this up all right, I'll be
on their spectrum giving it the mediumpass. Nothing here for again, Travis

(01:27:49):
Tower, the Fantasy, It's yeah, not to not for me. Here's
a game that I so, DragonDroma two. Have you played Dragon Droma
one? Because I saw a lotof people excited. I've never kill is
the dragon dromad Dog, Dragon's dog, Thank you Dragon. That's the third
one. No, I've I've like, I saw people excited in our discord.

(01:28:12):
I saw other people excited, butlike, I don't know anyone personally.
I then deal must I guess becauseI do know him person but I
didn't know any like, I don'tknow. And then this trailer really didn't
do any for me, Like Isaw people flong that guy, like yeah,
like, I don't think it looksbad or anything. I just didn't.
It didn't get me locked in.But maybe i'd have to hear more
of why people love that first one. You know, there's some cool spells

(01:28:34):
and stuff like that, so that'skind of cool. There's some cool character
designs, but it wasn't anything.Um, I don't know, like I
said, now I'm seeing it andthere's some fun stuff here that I'm looking
at. But I, oh,that's cool. See right there. Every
time I'm Michael, I don't knowsomething cool happened. So maybe I was
wrong. No, I just like, yeah, I just um, They're

(01:28:55):
not a day one I think forme. Yeah, I honestly, I
was very impressed by this Dragon's Dog. I've heard of that series, but
because there's infinite amount of games outthere, I just not interested or whatever.
It just slipt through the cracks.But seeing this trailer, I'm like,
man, like, this looks crazy, like it's a fantasy world,
almost reminding me of the Witcher,like, where like it feels realistic in

(01:29:17):
the sense of having like a highfantasy. We were just seeing some like
very anime high fantasy or not highfantasy, just some anime fantasy elements where
you have dragons in there, buttheir cartoony, whereas this, like they
really I guess I gotta pause.They just have great detail to it,
and like like the lighting and alot of these shots too, and I

(01:29:38):
love seeing the scale of the monsters. I'm gonna be keep my eye on
this one. I can say tosay, I won't begett to day one,
But I it's a type of worldI want to I want to check
out. I don't know. Ilove this fantasy elements for sure, especially
like we saw that wizard do thatbig fireball, and it just seems so
powerful even this like guys swinging aroundthe giant two hand, or like there's

(01:29:59):
just so much weight behind a lotof these strikes, and it seems like
something that can be very satisfying tosink hours into. So I'm maybe I'll
see, like what the ratings arelike when it comes out, if it's
reviewing really well and people just keeptalking about it because a lot of characters,
like they just look gorgeous, likethey did a great job with the
designs on it. On everyone.My camera's official overheated because I'm rocking this

(01:30:23):
camera now? Is it smoking?Yeah? Yeah? There we got five
nights of Freddie's Help Wanted to.I don't even know there's a first Help
Wanted or unless that's just the titleof the first game. I don't know.
Um, I skip this for me. I got nothing to say.
It was just a team how toannounce it? Yeah, the only thing
I was gonna say is great timing, Like with the movie very smart.

(01:30:44):
Yeah, double marketing. Sure it'llsell good enough for what it is or
what it needs to be. Herewe're in like the VR segment. I
don't know. I was just gonnaskip all of it unless year. Yeah,
I don't have anything to say.I think you know, Dyn does
this on Side Quest too. It'slike none of us have your we can't
speak on it. I've not seenanything. There's the last This is the
one game that looks like kind ofcool. This one here that's a shooter.

(01:31:06):
I think it's David Hayter, whowas like the voice and stuff like
that, or David Hayter or Harbor, David Harber, thank you. I
don't know why I was saying hater, but yeah, so this is this
is the only one where yeah,it looked it looked like somebody would play,
but it's not VR. I havezero zero interesting. I think there's

(01:31:27):
a lot of like the VR stuffshown that I'm like, this looks cool,
but like I just don't have thehardware, so yeah, I'll be
passing it. Here. We gotMarathon. This is one we're kind of
talking about earlier, right, Yes, this is Bungee's new game. This
is this is something where, yeah, not actual gameplay. It's tough for
me, right because I gave Destinya shot, didn't really like it,

(01:31:49):
and I've never gone back to it. This trailer just visually and the ideas
looks fucking awesome with these bugs scifi stuff. It's not even like a
cyberpunk type of like like sci fi. It feels like it's like high concept
high sci fi, you know,like it looks very trippy. M My
worry is that this is just anotherDestiny type of shooting game. And I

(01:32:12):
know they made Hales or something.Of course it's fucking the game. I
know by just being like, isit just Destiny with a new skin or
something like that? Is it justan online shooter? I don't know,
but I have it on the radarkind of because, like I said,
if it's just like a shoot,it's like Destiny that I'm out. But
the world, the colors, everything, it looked awesome. I like all
this, the screen skip like itlooked cool. This is, as I've

(01:32:35):
said before, almost like that theLittle Squire game. Like if this was
a movie, I beg, K, what's this fucking movie? I want
to see this movie? Off Seaworks different with games because there's a gameplay,
have aspects stuff like that, butyeah, everything are stuff of those
I got intrigued. I just don't. And it's so funny because the first
half everyone just thought was like aDestiny update, but so it has me,

(01:32:56):
you know, Oh fuck man,their aspects just shot me in the
ball. So it's confirmed to bePVPD online chair Well I'm out. I
don't care about it then, No, like I don't care at all.
I was just gonna say, like, the aesthetic totally has me. The
cinematics beautiful, but I don't trustthat anymore with Bungee. They do have
an amazing job with cinematics. Oneof the most hype games I was ever
looking forward to was Destiny, likethe first Destiny. Like the marketing had

(01:33:20):
me there. It's like, holyfuck from the people that made Halo.
It's like this combination of Halo andCall of Duty and like but also like
dungeon crawling. Yeah, everything lookedamazing, like your Friends and stuff like
that, but it's gonna be avery heavy story type game, which maybe
it is over the span of liketen years or however long like it's been
going, but really not the gamefor me. Like at all. It's

(01:33:43):
almost like an MMO where you're likejust grinding dungeons all the time trying to
get drops and just really not mytype of game. Um So I don't
trust the cinematics anymore because yeah,the marketing for Destiny was next level.
It looked amazing, and this lookedamazing as well, but then yeah we
got s bubs and just a seriesof short words just bruined all the hype
for us. Because I saw thistrailer and I annoyedea what it was like

(01:34:04):
at all. I was just thisis a cool looking trailer for everything that
you said, with the aesthetic,the colors, the punkiness to it.
Yeah, have you story added overninety DLC expansions. Yeah, And that's
the thing like with this, That'swhat my problem was. There's a lot
of space shars with a showcase,but just in general, like how much

(01:34:25):
is the mark a gonna take?There's so many like sci fi PP online
shooters nowadays, and there's like morecoming. It's just like so many these
games they think are just gonna dieand not have a life, and so
many companies are gonna have to layoff people because I just don't like there's
not room for all these I thinkthe boat is going away, so I
don't know. It's yeah, that'svery unfortunate that that's a big blow.

(01:34:47):
So we'll always have the cinematic.Yeah. I don't think they're ever gonna
die though, because like Destiny Toois dying. They showed off like a
new DLC that's coming for it's likethe final one. Yeah, but like
this is also Bungee, right,that's introduced a new PvP online, So
like it's not that I think likeall of them I die. I just
mean, like I feel like there'sonly enough mind share for a couple to

(01:35:12):
thrive, right, Like, youknow, we talk about what the fuck
was that jessica savorite game there BattleBorn, you know, and that died
quickly. So I don't know,we'll see bubs. Just like the twitter
for the marathon game. Their descriptionhas become a runner in Bungee's new sci
fi PvP extraction shooter coming to PlayStationfive. Okay, I'm gonna tweet at

(01:35:32):
them, fuck you yet games.Yeah, I was gonna buy until I
heard of this ship. All right, continue on, You're gonna go past
Destiny Too, because I got nothingto add about destiny and get the wrong
crowd here. Accord, this wasa game again too, so great little

(01:35:53):
trailer here again, lots of spaceis the new Zombies, There's between Starfield
coming, There's just so many spacegames. But I'm like, okay,
hey, I'm like in the visualvisual here, I'm not sure what Firewalk's
done, but I felt they've donethings that I've heard a good boy.
I'm like in the visuals, thecolors, the vibe here, but that's
it. There's nothing more, noteven like what the story is, what
the gameplay is. There looks likeokay, there's like a handprint that's burn.

(01:36:15):
But she's like I was expecting justeven a little bit more and she's
like, no, that's it.So it had me, but it was
just blueballs me. This one again. I wasn't the kitchen cooking. I
was watching it and then I likeit showed the concord and I like look
back and I'm like, oh fuck, I missed the trailer, Like let's
rewind. And then I go backand I'm like, oh, there was
no trailer. Like it was nothing. It was a little a little taint

(01:36:38):
tickler that I got and I don'tknow it's sled by a studio who have
all proves the worked for Bungee.Oh there we go, having worked untils
like Destiny, Call Duty, Apex, Lesson, Matched Effect, and Halo.
So that doesn't really do much forme. It's probably gonna be a
first person shooter and fucking a spaceship. Yeah, Destiny four confirmed, Destiny
four Concorde, and then we gotso yeah, I want to talk to

(01:37:02):
you about this. This is something. Yeah, let's let's take an ad
break right here, because we're gonnaget these are the next two biggest ones
here. We got the hardware andthen we got the Spider Man stuff pretty
much, so we're right back.Oh excuse me, okay, and we're
back. So this had leaked acouple months ago. I guess that they

(01:37:23):
were working on It was like acombination of two leaks where they're working on
handheld and I was like, oh, fuck, you know, they're getting
back into that game switch you know, VA and stuff like that. And
then the Second League came out saying, well, it's not necessarily a new
console. It is a add onto your PlayStation. It's pretty much just
a screen and literally you know oryou know that and they give the specs

(01:37:44):
and stuff and yeah, yeah,yeah. So then today they talk about
the hardware. The show us offand it's literally just a screen that's pretty
much hammered in between your dual shockcontrollers. And yeah, I don't know,
I don't know. Everyone's made thejokes about we you that's exactly what
it is. Whatever this is,this ain't it. I don't think the
market is big enough. I thinkwe U show that. I get that

(01:38:05):
PlayStation five is doing much better thanwe U. I understand, but I
if it was to me, thiswas gonna be better if it was a
new Vida. Now you could argue, hey, the Vita died and stuff
like that, but we're new ina new era, a new like with
the switch. If you were topromise some of these games, like for
example, I think it just gotcanceled for the Switch Midnight Suns, I

(01:38:27):
could be rum it. Maybe thecheck and let me know. But there's
certain games where I am a PlayStationof like Man, if I had a
switch that I could take this somewhereelse and not a pack of my console,
this would be fantastic. I haveno desire and I don't know anybody
and of course there's somebody in theworld, but I don't know anybody who's
looking to just buy an additional screenthat they could sit aside. And I
get it that Okay, let's say, you know, it's me, like

(01:38:49):
I can't have that comparison because Iwould just take it to a room with
a different TV. But let's sayfor some reason, living room only one
TV and we watched to watch something. Okay, then fine, I will
I can buy this and play onthe side. But that's just not my
life, and I don't feel likeit's a life of many people. For
me, it's just okay, ifEmily's using the TV, I'll go do
one of the many other things Ihave to do as an adult, you

(01:39:11):
know, Like I just don't likeand maybe it's different and maybe I'll find
the audience. I just think thatmaybe for them, this is like not
expensive to make, so maybe it'llbe fine for them. But I just
look at this ago, what's thepoint, you know? I remember PlayStation
tried to do like this PSTV thatwas like an additional monitor and stuff like
that in that bomb. Yeah,like I feel like they've done they did
that. Another thing that I boughtbecause it was clearance at Target, where

(01:39:33):
it was like it was like aUSB stick like dongle you plug into a
TV, but that I had issuesAgain, this is yeah Target, and
it sucked ass. This is cloudstreaming again, it's only ten eighty LCD
screen, not even LED screen.I don't know. Yeah, espe,
I'll get it once it's discounted ninefive percent exactly. But like, I

(01:39:54):
don't understand the thinking between like unlessthis is a fair a cheap piece of
hardware, I don't understand. Thisseems like a it seems like a dumb
idea in my opinion, So,yeah, what do you think about this?
I think I had no interest atall from that, and like no
reaction from this trailer. It wasjust like okay, not even like that's

(01:40:16):
a stupid idea. It's just likeso neutral. I did not give a
shit at all about this. Yourcase of like um like that you state
of like I feel like I relatedto it, or of like Okay,
the one time that I can seemyself using this is if she is like
using the TV and I really wantto play someone on PlayStation, but at
the same time, like kind ofhow you would do with the switch like

(01:40:38):
if I was on the TV withthe switch, I wanted to watch something,
I could just grab the switch andlike play it handheld, which is
great. But I have a switchand I can do that all my switch
on the PlayStation. Yeah. Ifoh no, I want to watch that,
Okay, I'll turn off my gameand go full laundry or something,
you know, Like I am anadult now I have other things to do.
Um, I could never ever seemyself spending and which I imagine this

(01:41:00):
is like hundreds of dollars for thisadd on. I cannot see in any
world that I buy this unless Ijust have like fuck you money that I
just do not like I can burnmoney. Scrooge McDuck stule, Scrooge McDuck,
Scrooge McDuck style, Scrooge my duck. Yeah this announcement, Scrooge my
ducky. Sure. So between theShowcase, which I was a little down

(01:41:24):
on, and then oh no,let it play because they show another piece
of hardware you can get. Yeah, I was down in the showcase,
like this is what for me concernme as someone that was disappointed with the
showcase. I thought they did notdo a good job romance. And then
and then the pause are right there, Oh it's right inside, and then

(01:41:45):
this one two punch of this weyou like screen and then and also we're
making PlayStation headphones. It's like yourblood air buds. Yeah here, It's
just like there's so many companies inthe war all that are making earbuds that
are great. Like I don't understandwhat, Like this is not how I
want the place, and it's notmy money, but like I don't want

(01:42:08):
my PlayStation resources to be put thisway, like get it for other like
employees, budgets, hire and hiremore people more game development. I just
don't know who unless you are theSony pony rider die that has to buy
fucking PlayStation AirPod. It's like,I don't know this. This portion of

(01:42:30):
me felt like it did not hitand it felt like just bad stuff all
around. So it's pretty crazy too. Like if you look at like the
chapter breakdown in this video, likethe stream that we're going through, like
this is such a small segment ofthe actual showcase of them, like showcasing
this. I'm not like the airpod'skind of MEMI but like for this new
handheld thing, like you think thatthis is like a big deal that they're
really trying to market, but theyreally don't spend too much. By the

(01:42:54):
way, Yeah, that's literally whatthe like the CEO Pops said, ends
like before we get into why you'reactually here, don't forget about this,
and then like in ten seconds wejust move on to spidy. So it
was a very very weird just showingof it. Um. Yeah, I
did not move the barometer at all. For me, I can't wait to
see the sales on this thing.I cannot wait for both of them.

(01:43:15):
But the air pods, yeah,I'm really curious. I'm seeing people on
the bus or something with air pods, not that I take the bus anymore.
But they're not gonna be PlayStation ones, I'll tell you that much.
Unless these are again are super cheapor something. But but they won't be.
They won't. They won't. Andthen we got our h Yeah,

(01:43:36):
it was weird. No mentioned psplus canto. That's strange, but uh
yeah, So we got this trailerfor PlayStation five Spider Man two. That's
the official title fall. Like wesaid, we talked about a little bit.
I'm with everybody. This was agreat fake out that it did.
I thought this was Craven, andI like, I wasn't hating on it.
I was like, okay, it'slike an updated look. I can

(01:43:57):
understand that. But it's like it'sa good switchero where Okay, it's not
actually Craven. It is, youknow, the the guy that's gonna get
killed by Craven also gonna watch onthis. But what did you just think
overall this showcase? I it's it'sfunny because obviously any of the Spidy thing
was coming. I saw like alike a screenshot of Spidy in the Black
Suit or earlier on Today. Andthen we have like the CEO guys show

(01:44:18):
off his PlayStation air pods, andthen he's like and like to the to
the main thing, like whatever hesays, and then it just goes to
this like jungle sequence, and Idon't know, I like couldn't really hear
what was going on, and I'mlike, what the fun game is this?
They're showing you like this is themain event. I know Spidy's coming.
At some point, I was soconfused, and then I like I

(01:44:40):
really did not clue in until hepulled out the tablet and like like showed
New York and I was just like, man, what a sweet Oh at
this point, you didn't think thisis Craven I was, I was in
the kitchen. There's probably stuff holdingover I had. I had to rewind
for sure and rewatch this, ButI I thought this was such a sweet
opening to to the place that,like to Spiky Spidy two trailer, we

(01:45:01):
see some some members that hopefully we'llbe interacting a lot with in the game.
You get the two Spider Man,there, Lizard, some familiar faces.
And then when we from the too, Yeah, black Cat was in
there. Um Prowler. I didn'teven see him in there, but that's
sweet. He's from the Miles gamethat's been for me today. I wish

(01:45:24):
I played, but I forgot wherehe is from. Ok So yeah,
like and then like where we goafter this, and like the queens say,
I just love how it just jumpsright into gameplay and overall thoughts for
the trailer. I think that thislike met the level that that first Spider
Man trailer had for me. Likethe first time I saw like PS four
Spider Man gameplay just fucking blew mymind. I'm like, I cannot believe

(01:45:45):
I'm living in an era that I'mactually getting this game, like this is
the one game as a little kid, like this is what I would have
needed in my life, and theydelivered on it. The game was amazing.
I'd love to play the shit outof it. So don't play,
Miles Morales. I definitely want tobefore this one comes out. Um,
you're shaking your head like I shouldn'tor just your us Okay, yeah yeah,

(01:46:05):
um but yeah, like I Ijust think the old Like it's a
very long gameplay trailer. It's nottoo long, it's very satisfying. They
show it off just this new edgyPeter that like you can just tell the
symbiots who's taken them over. Um, like every everything about this trailer is
amazing. We'll we'll obviously break itdown, but the thing I'll edit it

(01:46:26):
on is just I am so impressedwith with this black suit Spider Man that
they did here, Like they couldhave just done the all black like sleekness,
but they have like the alien likejust symbiotonus to it, like you
can see on the back of hishead here and this this shot that we
have up where and like when thewhen the game's actually going, like it's
moving all the time, it justlooks very alien and but but they but

(01:46:48):
they kept the the major the majorsymbols. I think that make it like
like with the eyes, the eyesare are exactly what what what it looks
like from the comics as well asthe spiders. So I am so impressed
with what they did on this suitas well as like the game player,
I can't wait to just be usingmy tendrils and have this like Dark Spider

(01:47:08):
Man. I don't think I've everplayed a game that has done that suit
really well justice except for like SpiderMan three, like the movie tieing game,
but like I won't even go thatfar because it's not like I'm using
tendrils in that version. It's justlike you have the black Spider Man suit,
which is cool. But in inthis it seems like this is the
way that should be done and Ican't wait to jump into Yeah this this,

(01:47:31):
I'm so blown away by this,by this game play choir. I
cannot wait to get my hands onthis game. He never played Webb of
Shadows, did you that there?No, I never takes over the CEMEO
takes over all New York and stufflike that. It's a it's a pretty
good game. You got moved nightin there and Wolverine and Luke Cage and
stuff. But yeah, Kirkham,before we continue, got to go back.
There's a grand Urisma trailer. Youforgot there. I'm joking. I'm
joking, Um, look for it. Go back like a few seconds because

(01:47:57):
I wanted to get the first shot. Well, now you too far back.
We'll get there. But if youmiss it, that's it. It's
gonna be right when spem and popsout of the thing. Now we're a
little far back. Still right there, Okay, go back, yeah,
like the big version of him.Yeah, yeah, we remember my hot
keys here exactly because that Yeah,you go back a little bit more because

(01:48:21):
someone that was watching live. Yeah, you can start right there. That's
good enough, I guarantee you.And we've all said this. Everybody had
a fucking heart attack for a secondwhen they thought that was the venom suit
before it does that, because he'slike he lands with the tendrils and then
like they make this big cocoon aretlike almost like a thick layer, and
then it does like the smaller one. But yeah, when he was like

(01:48:42):
that, I was like, man, like, I'll give them the benefit
of the Dell. But that looksfucking bad. Like he looks yeah,
like he looks like I don't knowif you remember those n sixty four it
had that that Plato Fighter game whereEarthworn Gym was in it. You remember
that, Like, he looks likea character from that. But luckily he's
a lot So Yeah, this wasa great showcase. As I've said before,

(01:49:02):
it's kind of like what I wassaying with Guardian three leaning up that
the only thing this game can reallydo is disappoint me. And that's not
trying to say it's going to justlike my hype for it is where it's
going to be. I don't thinkit's going to be like Game in the
Year. I think it's just goingto be more of the same and a
little bit better from the first one. You know, all I'm looking for
really what this one is. Iwas somebody that I thought they took some

(01:49:24):
risks like you had Aunt May andI like mister Negative, but I thought
the story relatively was pretty safe withthe first Spider Man game. I'm kind
of hoping this one takes some chanceshere, and I think this one will
a little bit get the symbote here, But to me with the suit,
I like that it looks like it'sa mix of a classic Symbiote suit but
they've done their own style on itand stuff like that, so I enjoy

(01:49:44):
that. I like the Miles dynamic. I think that the whole gameplay they
showed was not too long, ata little longer or like maybe almost a
little too long, but it's justbecause you can tell this was probably like
middle in the game, so Iwas almost more like, ah, like
I've I've seen it, but theywanted to show up some cool stuff,
right, they want to show upthe Tendril power order. I think that's
gonna be great, Like I loveMiles because but it's gonna be hard not

(01:50:05):
to want to be playing in theblack suit because you can hit play here.
Some of these attacks that they showhim fucking pop off with My god,
Like this is gonna be tons andtons of fun. Plus they better
make Peter Parker really good to playwith act. But yeah, yeah,
like look at this, like yeah, it looks fantastic. And like he
said, I played Web Shadows.I liked it. But the way that
the first game is the definitive wayto play as a Spider Man this to

(01:50:28):
me is gonna be like the definitiveway to play is like the Symbiote version,
right, and uh yeah, itjust looks great visually. I was
talking about some Marvel lions. Youcan feel like to me, like the
lighting and some of the just likethe textures look like a PS five that's
running on like some YouTube stream andstuff. So yeah, and people will
point out there right there, hehas a Peter has a Perry. People
think that might be a benefit ofthe Symbiote suit that you can just like

(01:50:50):
Parry like that and say, yeah, that was fucking cool when he puts
them up against the house and justkicks him, so it's just grude attack
right there. Yeah. But yeah, just he looks even just these moves
alone in my cal I've seen enoughto know that this Blacks is gonna be
fucking awesome. You know. Yeah, I won't. I don't know,
because I completely agree with what you'resaying. The other thing that'll just throw

(01:51:12):
in there, though, is thatlike, not only are they killing it
with just taking that essence of likethe Symbio battle suit and like just how
much more op Peter can be withit, but like how Peter is actually
reacting like like his his isms,like like in those combat sequences, like
his his dialogue is so different thanlike what is like he's not. He's

(01:51:33):
just like angry, like so much, like just aggressive nature that the SYMBI
like, like like you could justI don't know. I think they did
such a good job at capturing that, even even to the very end of
the trailer, when like the lastthing that Miles says or Miles's buddy says
to him, it's like, yeah, it's like does he does? Is

(01:51:55):
he ever like that? He's likenever, never like that? And I
just love that line so much.I can't wait to experience that story dynamic
and how challenging it is and ohyeah, oh yeah, it becomes that
ultimatum. Um. I love theswitching between Miles and Peter. Obviously,
like I said, I haven't playedMiles yet, uh so, I don't
know if a lot of this skillset is brand new. Uh I don't

(01:52:20):
know if it's brand new or ifit's from the Miles Morales game. But
nonetheless, I'm excited to play asas Miles. He looks really cool and
different from Peter, and especially nowthat Peter is a full black suit.
M's got some new moves in there. There's some similar stuff. They got
some new moves in there. Butdo you think, um, my one
worry that I got from this trailer, obviously we don't really see Red Spider

(01:52:44):
Man suit pop off at all.My one worry that could really I think
bring down my enjoyment of this isif they I think it's a low chance
it happens, but I still thinkit's possible that, like you actually don't
really get much Red Spider Man suit, like maybe early early on in the
game, and then for the vastmajorities Black Spider Man, and then let's
just say it goes the route ofyou as Miles, you have to fight

(01:53:05):
Peter and it's just like ends withPeter's death or something like you just never
get the red suit. I thinkI would be very disappointed by that.
Obviously, you could point while yougot the PS four game, you can
go play him. You're all good. I just I really don't want them
to go that route, because tofinally get the black symbiote Spider Man is
really sweet. But I still lovemy Red Spidy suit. Um, I

(01:53:28):
think you'll get it. I thinkhe'll lose in the second act. I
think the first act you'll play withPeter for the most part. You'll switch
back and forth. I think theend of the first act you'll get the
suit. The middle portion you'll beplaying us at, and then the third
act you'll be Peter. That's whatI That's why I pulled up, Like,
why don't you come down here insecond cock? Yeah, like symbiote
Peters talking. Yeah, yeah,I just imagine that. Yeah, he's

(01:53:54):
just like dropping cunts everywhere, Likehe's like they get an R rate,
Like he's just like the worst pieceof shit, Like, yeah, you
can come my cock, pretty boy. Yeah Peters that you Peter's not You're
a fucking idiot. Yeah, you'refeeving a little hor Yeah, it'd be
great. I love if they wentthat far and stuff like that. But

(01:54:15):
the sequence is really cool with howlike just claustrophobic of felt when he came
out as so he had the redsot and to go over it. So
maybe you can talkle on off.You could, that's what you could do
in web shadows. You could talkon and off, So that would be
kind of fun. Also, Iimagined for some cut scenes you're gonna have
to play as it, but Icould see that being an option of like
you know, it's literally like adifferent type of power set or skill tree
or something like that, right,And we didn't talk about but yeah,

(01:54:38):
we got Lizard confirmed now to bea villain here, so that's good.
So I'm like, in the RoguesGallery got so far, we got Craven,
we got Ben, and we gotLizard. I'm kind of fine with
maybe just like one other big badbecause I think, as we've all said
before, I think they're saving Goblinfor the third one, and I think
that's a good idea because I justsorry, I got to hi us.
I just there's already too much goingon in this one. I feel like

(01:55:00):
there's just like a lot. There'smultiple bad guys, the Symbiote, Peter,
Anne, Miles, their personal lives, so I feel like they should
And again just see the little horsestuff of him landing there and like the
tendrils being out and then them goingin. It feels like you can't really
trust Peters and stuff like that.So, as Red Mike says, how
do you guys think they'll make thematt feel fresh and like same New York

(01:55:21):
now? They're just gonna pull thebreath of the tears of the Kingdom.
You don't just do the same shitover. No, they have shown that
it looks like Queens is opening up. There's another bridge, So I think
the New York you played before willbe pretty similar. They'll do like some
construction and some bad guys have donethis. But I think half it will
be pretty similar with some changes inthe other half will be open. But
that that is the challenging thing withSpider Man, right, And that's why

(01:55:43):
I actually really like games like ShatteredDimensions or like Edge of Dimension wherever they
were. Eventually, I wonder withthe third one, like if there is
only so much you can do withNew York. It's not even like Gotham,
wherewith Gotham it's a made up city. So you could really like,
yeah, we're gonna make Gotham looklike this, We're gonna add this tower,
we're gonna do this. New Yorkhas to look like New York.
You know, you can just expandit. So um, I'll be very

(01:56:05):
curious with you for a third one. But like this sequence right here,
if people have played Jedi uh FallenSurvivor, this got me some vibes of
that, but um yeah, Ilike the sequence a lot. Jedi Survivor
don't say, um yeah, thissequence looked gorgeous and like super Red Mike's

(01:56:27):
comment there, like, yeah,there are in New York, but like
I never experienced New York like this, and like I understand it's just one
little water chase scene that could justbe for this one mission, but like,
this just feels very different from fromthe New York that I know.
And even like the like where itstarted with him fighting in Queens. Um,
that's it just seemed very different fromwhat I was used to swinging around
in. Um what was I gonna? Oh? Yeah, no, the

(01:56:49):
sequence is beautiful with the lighting andeverything. Oh that's what I was gonna
ask you. Do you think EddieBrock makes an appearance in this game?
No? I think they well,okay, an appearance maybe as the like
a story element. No, notreally. I think I go with that
They're gonna make Harry the venom symbioteuser. I've seen even some people theorized
that maybe Peter just becomes venom,like the big venom he like grows and

(01:57:13):
he gets that. I've seen that. I don't think they're gonna go that
round. I think you will geta Miles and Peter versus Venom. I
think they'll stick with Harry again,it's the personal thing. And even then,
if you have Harry the Osbourne,like as I just said that what's
his name, Craven or Schacker's backadding Eddie Brock might just feel like there's
just too much going on. Theydid the whole thing that the last game

(01:57:35):
ended with Harry with the symbiote.Yeah, I've and they even mentioned Harry
here. I think that Eddie Brock'sstory is it's too much to add on
and plus like then you kind ofget to make it your own a little
bit. Now at times Harry hashad the symbiote, like even an Ultimate
Spierman TV show. But I feellike if you do Eddie, we kind
of know that story, right,this is you can have some differences here,

(01:57:57):
So I think an appearance, sure, but as a main worry beat,
no not really. Yeah. Mymy hope is, um, I
agree as Webb for Miles and Peterlook really cool. I my hope is
that like whatever ends, like Ithink this game ends with Peter either,
yeah, Ultimate Fate where he justdies or something happens that he loses the

(01:58:19):
symbiote suit and then I don't know. I I think I just I mean,
Venom's next to me. I lovethis Eddie Brock version of Venom.
I really just would love to leadinto the third game with like something like
that, Like you don't have aversion in this game. Remember they've shown
that picture of Venom where he's allbig and everything, so its symbiote is
grown at some point, and it'svoiced by t Todd. So yeah,

(01:58:42):
I think I think my main thingis I don't want it to just end
with this game. I assuming we'regonna be getting that Spider Man three game,
and I think it would be reallycool, like especially if we're losing
a Spider person. I'm not sayingI'm for or against that theory, but
let's just play with that. Uh. If we're just having Miles my else
for the third game, I thinkit'd be really cool to have Eddie Brock
as a playable character in that nextone. I don't think it would have

(01:59:04):
to go the route of having likea Eddie Brock, you know, like
game kind of love they did withMiles Morales that led into this one that
you end up playing it, Iwould take it. I think that's sweet.
Um but I just have so muchlove for that character, and I
think it would be so sweet toplay in this type of likeness doing with
Spider Man, but with Eddie Brock'svenom like that, that is just next

(01:59:27):
level. I thought. I thoughtwhat they did with Ultimate Spider Man way
back in the day on like GameCubeera, I thought that was amazing just
with playing his venom on there.I had so much fun playing that.
But um, yeah, Superman Mikewith a great one. My wish this
is getting spire Gun. I ain'tcalling her that name. I hate that
name. As the next playable characterin between two and three. Uh yeah,

(01:59:47):
that'd be fun. I don't knowwhich way they would do it,
but I think that'd be a goodamount of Like I think then it would
be a good Like if you wereto make another game and there's another character
that's say, Puritize Nam's a goodone. Spire Gwen would be a good
one. And I'm just joking,like I know she's got Spider I just
I just don't The ghost Spiders justdon't like Stake. It's like Fetch it's
just it's just not working, youknow. Yeah, and then yeah,

(02:00:08):
that's why I could trying to makeit a ghost Spider work. You know,
the other one that you can checkout Marvel Lines for the full thing
as Bubbs was on there and hepitched it, and I think we did
a combined pitch here to make itgreat. Was so he pitched what about
Peter guys here? And then threeyou get Ben Riley, And that was
my pitch of could you imagine ifthey kill off Peter Parker five years from

(02:00:30):
now we get the preview for Spiderand three and the ending of that trailers
you see Peter's face and my houseis like Peter, but the general audience
is and isn't gonna know that BenRy is the clone of Peter Parker stuff
like that. You don't show thebleach ball on hair or anything like that.
Just imagine that where the general audiencethinks Peter Parker is dead and you
see Peter Parker's face like, how'sybag and they do the fucking clone saga.
I would love that he probably playssimilar to Peter, but I think

(02:00:53):
the clones saga is actually something youcould do in the video games, because
you'd have lots of times and themovies and TV shows they don't think so,
so that Pitch I really like ifyou kill Peter, but you kill
Peter so you can bring in benRye in the next game, who could
play similar to that. So yeah, it's potential. But maybe it's the
third one, just a fall Milesgame, you know. So, but
maybe Venom pops off. They're alreadydoing Wolverine, so maybe they decide,

(02:01:15):
hey, we're gonna make more ofthese. So yeah, anything else on
Spider Man looking great, looking great, blew me away? Oh there you
go. We've done it two hourslonger than the showcase. There's loss to
talk about and stuff like that.So yeah, over all I feel kind
of the same. But this wasa fun episode and whatnot and thinks everyone's
live chat and yeah, it'll begood. We've got Summer Games Fest,

(02:01:38):
got Xbox, got UB. Hopefullythere's some stuff like Last of Us Multiplayer
we'll actually get to see at likethe Summer Games Fester or some because there's
some games missing here, but alast there's some that stood out and everything,
and there's some some good stuff wetalked about to day and we got
to see Spider Man. That's alwaysa good thing. Hopefully it's going to
stick that fall date, and yeah, you know there'll be a review from
us, and Dy'll be on thereas well. Won't because he's on the

(02:02:00):
loser console side. Well, actuallydon't haves to get up PS five,
I guess because he's actually not withour team yet. So that's just gonna
have. He's gonna have to ponyup. He should wait because I imagine
they're gonna make I said this toChris that I feel like they gotta make
a cool ass Venom console, youknow, like they gotta they gotta do
it. I missed out on thePS four one that they released. I
love the look of that one,and then I was I was hoping for

(02:02:21):
something like PS five wise, andthen they were just in such short supply.
What you get? Yeah, yeah, well, Syde Quest will be
back next week the week after somewherethat there, and I promise you it
will not be boring. Goodbye,
