<v Speaker 1>Let's do this for December sixth, twenty twenty four. For
<v Speaker 1>the next hour or so, let me help you sort
<v Speaker 1>through the world of gaming on Game Mess Mornings Live
<v Speaker 1>with me Jeff Grubb Today Indiana Jones reviews are out
<v Speaker 1>and should we be turning up the hype for the
<v Speaker 1>Game Awards. But first please join me and welcome today's
<v Speaker 1>co host the Game Mess Mornings. It's t More, who's saying, everybody.
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna show people because they demanded it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they demanded to see the shirt the shut by Cortes. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>look at that thing. Yeah, how can I go?
<v Speaker 3>Uh?
<v Speaker 1>You go here to walk a step towards your monitor,
<v Speaker 1>towards the towards the I'm sorry, towards the TV. Now yeah,
<v Speaker 1>now just do a hop to the left. Yeah, and
<v Speaker 1>now he did the time warp again. Every buddy, hooray. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>looking very good. I like that a lot. It's very nice. Also,
<v Speaker 1>do set up huh yeah, a new setup.
<v Speaker 2>I'm running a Mac Mini.
<v Speaker 3>The new Mac Minis are out and they are M
<v Speaker 3>four chips and I've never owned a Mac personal computer,
<v Speaker 3>but they're very very affordable, and I was like, you
<v Speaker 3>know what, well, I say, very very affordable.
<v Speaker 2>It's like six hundred dollars.
<v Speaker 1>But it's affordable for grants.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, for a Mac, and I wanted something lower profile
<v Speaker 3>because prior to this, I was running everything through a
<v Speaker 3>single razor laptop. Yeah, which I used primarily for like
<v Speaker 3>gaming and capture as well previously. But it was getting
<v Speaker 3>a bit much and the whole thing was a mess.
<v Speaker 3>Right now, I got a new desk from flexis Spot.
<v Speaker 3>I paid money using the Flexi Spot one too.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's good. I like it.
<v Speaker 3>I wish I had bought a bigger one. This is
<v Speaker 3>still bigger than my previous desk, but I wish I
<v Speaker 3>had bought bigger one. Flexi Spot if you want, took
<v Speaker 3>me up with a bigger desk, hollow at your boy.
<v Speaker 3>I also made some catastrophic errors in like putting it together,
<v Speaker 3>where like it.
<v Speaker 2>Stripped the screw.
<v Speaker 3>I hate when that happens. I didn't do anything weird,
<v Speaker 3>it just happens. So then I ha to get like smaller,
<v Speaker 3>bigger screws to do it. I tried the old The
<v Speaker 3>was like the toothpick in the whole trick. Where you
<v Speaker 3>put toothpicks and break them off, put some glue in,
<v Speaker 3>and then like try and screw it. It didn't work, but yeah, now,
<v Speaker 3>and then I remounted my monitors. So now I have
<v Speaker 3>my monitor here, and then I've got one of those
<v Speaker 3>above monitors I've got right now, I can look up
<v Speaker 3>and i can see you, Jeff up there. I've got
<v Speaker 3>one monitor on my right as well for like gaming.
<v Speaker 3>And then all of these monitors are also plugged into
<v Speaker 3>the gaming PC as well, which which is also connected
<v Speaker 3>via Xbox one, Xbox Series X no S and the
<v Speaker 3>PS five. Good And let me tell you, it was
<v Speaker 3>a nightmare to get all that stuff together.
<v Speaker 1>I bet I like it.
<v Speaker 3>The handshaking shit is so annoying. Yeah, and then I
<v Speaker 3>have blood Bone running on my TV.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, there it is. I Yeah. I tried to set
<v Speaker 1>it up so that I because the way I have
<v Speaker 1>it in my room here is there's the big TV
<v Speaker 1>over here with all the consoles, and then my like
<v Speaker 1>right next to this desk has the PC and so
<v Speaker 1>the PlayStation five is there. And I try I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>I'll get a splitter and I'll have it like send
<v Speaker 1>a signal off of the TV and off of the
<v Speaker 1>computer so I don't have to like swap it all
<v Speaker 1>the time. And it's like getting one of those that
<v Speaker 1>will like, Okay, we'll send a signal into like the
<v Speaker 1>sound bar and then into the TV and then over
<v Speaker 1>the computer, and then we'll also maintain all of the
<v Speaker 1>HDR and the you know HD my two point one
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff. It was such a headache and
<v Speaker 1>it still doesn't really work to this day. So you know,
<v Speaker 1>I just got like, okay, I'll fine, I'll turn off
<v Speaker 1>and I just won't use that for now until I
<v Speaker 1>figure out a fix for this.
<v Speaker 2>And that's I turn off.
<v Speaker 3>I turn off HDR on most of the games I
<v Speaker 3>play because I look at it and I'm like, it
<v Speaker 3>doesn't look as it doesn't look at vibrant, like I
<v Speaker 3>like the vibrancy in games. Yeah, and Hi is like, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>we made it look more accurate. I'm like, yeah, I
<v Speaker 3>just wanted to look good. I don't really care about accurate.
<v Speaker 1>Really, like really, your mileage is going to very depending
<v Speaker 1>on the TV and then how well it's implemented into
<v Speaker 1>the games. So there's a lot of factors there, and
<v Speaker 1>it's yeah, yeah, I find myself turning it off, especially
<v Speaker 1>on PC at the very least, because it's just yeah,
<v Speaker 1>never good on PC.
<v Speaker 3>Uh.
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's explain what we do here most weekdays. I,
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Grub will help pce your gaming life back together.
<v Speaker 1>That includes breaking news and maybe even some of our
<v Speaker 1>own original reporting. For all these topics, I'll get the
<v Speaker 1>input of a bona fide expert who will make me
<v Speaker 1>look smart. If you are watching live on twitch welcome,
<v Speaker 1>You can always listen to the show later on podcast

<v Speaker 1>the show later with chapters and timestamps on you YouTube.
<v Speaker 1>Hello YouTube. All right, we have a lot to get into,
<v Speaker 1>so let's start the morning mess with indie reviews. Indiana
<v Speaker 1>Jones reviews are out. It's got like a eighty seven
<v Speaker 1>on Metacritic. I think it bounce between that in eighty six,
<v Speaker 1>and it has an eighty six on Open. Critic Catherine
<v Speaker 1>Castle at Eurogamer gave it five stars, says it's smart, fun,
<v Speaker 1>and so very Indiana Jones. The Great Circle is a
<v Speaker 1>stealth action tour de force that marks a bold new
<v Speaker 1>era for machine games. Anthony Taramina at Game Rank gave
<v Speaker 1>it an eight out of ten and said Indiana Jones
<v Speaker 1>in the Great Circle offers some of the best puzzle
<v Speaker 1>and tomb rating in video games, matching Spielberg's films in
<v Speaker 1>many respects, and then Azario Lopez from Noise and Pixel
<v Speaker 1>gave it a seven, says Indiana Jones and the Great
<v Speaker 1>Circle captures the spirit of adventure with the nostalgic puzzles,
<v Speaker 1>richly detailed, richly detailed environments, and thrilling set pieces. While
<v Speaker 1>it stumbles with lackluster AI and clunky item management, its
<v Speaker 1>charm and sense of discovery make it a rear arding
<v Speaker 1>journey for fans of the iconic archaeologist. You've been playing this, right,
<v Speaker 1>I have, yeah.
<v Speaker 3>I I don't care about Indiana Jones one bit, well,
<v Speaker 3>not not one bit. I watched the movies and I'm like,
<v Speaker 3>I watched the I watched Raiders. Obviously, Raiders is a
<v Speaker 3>really fun movie. And what was the other one? Templar
<v Speaker 3>Doom I enjoyed as well. Post Like Indiana Jones in
<v Speaker 3>his heyday, I haven't really watched I watched The Shilah
<v Speaker 3>Buffalo and I was like, you know what, I think
<v Speaker 3>I'm out.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you are not guilty of anything wrong there.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, So I'm not like crazy about I'm not like,
<v Speaker 3>I'm not I'm not into Indiana Jones the way white
<v Speaker 3>people are into Indiana Jones as well.
<v Speaker 1>Believe that, Yes, and.
<v Speaker 3>Even still, I am pretty impressed with the way that
<v Speaker 3>they have recaptured that the spirit of Indiana Jones. Whether
<v Speaker 3>it's even though it's not like John Williams scoring this,
<v Speaker 3>it's not like Bielberg and crew writing it.
<v Speaker 2>It is.
<v Speaker 3>Devin Harrison Ford talking in it. We've got young Troy
<v Speaker 3>Baker there and they're doing everyone's absolutely nailing. And yeah,
<v Speaker 3>the writing is amazing. I think, I mean, I think
<v Speaker 3>it's fair m M. I think like the writing in
<v Speaker 3>this game, I think, based on the little bits of
<v Speaker 3>the other movies that I've seen, is probably better than
<v Speaker 3>most of that. It certainly has a more captivating villain,
<v Speaker 3>it's certainly. Yeah, it's it's more it feels more authentic
<v Speaker 3>to everything. And I know that right now everyone's kind
<v Speaker 3>of upset that the opening prologue section recreates, you know,
<v Speaker 3>a scene, an iconic scene from an older movie.
<v Speaker 1>But really that's fun.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I was like I don't know, man. I feel
<v Speaker 2>like if you take look at the people.
<v Speaker 3>Who made this game, they're clearly head over heels in
<v Speaker 3>love with this franchise and they want to do right
<v Speaker 3>by it, and they know it and they love it
<v Speaker 3>and they care about it. And you give those people
<v Speaker 3>an opportunity to make an interactive first person version of
<v Speaker 3>that first scene that people can play, You bet your
<v Speaker 3>ass they're taking it.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, it's a good idea, it was, It's all around.
<v Speaker 1>I liked it. It was a good ex.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's not and it's not like it's not
<v Speaker 3>like people.
<v Speaker 2>It's not like coming from a cynical place.
<v Speaker 3>To me, it feels like the people who made this
<v Speaker 3>were like, oh, we really should want to do this
<v Speaker 3>just to say we did it and we can knock
<v Speaker 3>it out the park and we can't. Yeah, exactly, and
<v Speaker 3>we can also set the tone with this. And yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I've seen people on various social networks and that kind
<v Speaker 3>of stuff talking about, you know, how lazy it was
<v Speaker 3>or whatever it may be. And I was just like,
<v Speaker 3>I grow up, I don't care, shut up.
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm enjoying the game a lot. I think it's
<v Speaker 1>really well done. I think that in terms of nailing
<v Speaker 1>the vibe of Indiana Jones, they really do go over
<v Speaker 1>the top to get all of that right. When the
<v Speaker 1>Indian when the John Williams score does come in, like
<v Speaker 1>his his classic tunes, like obviously he's not scoring the
<v Speaker 1>game with new music, but the uses themes. When that
<v Speaker 1>stuff comes in and you're using the whip and you're
<v Speaker 1>running from from explosions and giant you know, machine guns
<v Speaker 1>firing at you, and then you run into a room
<v Speaker 1>and you punch a Nazi in the face and they
<v Speaker 1>make the big meaty sound, all that stuff is really fantastic.
<v Speaker 1>I think that the environments, like the scenes like themselves,
<v Speaker 1>the actual places that you're in setting is like all
<v Speaker 1>that stuff also really works. It's not just like we're
<v Speaker 1>just gonna it's gonna be on a globe trotting adventure.
<v Speaker 1>It's a globe trotting adventure that tries to have like
<v Speaker 1>familiar like imagery, so it always feels like Indiana Jones, like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>you're back in the desert, so we're gonna have some
<v Speaker 1>stuff that looks like the stuff you've seen in Indiana
<v Speaker 1>Jones movies, and that doesn't feel gratuitous. It feels like
<v Speaker 1>the right move because while this is a side story
<v Speaker 1>to what has happened in Indiana Jones, elsewhere, this is
<v Speaker 1>the Indiana Jones video game, and you want it to
<v Speaker 1>feel like that, and they get all that stuff right.
<v Speaker 1>I think my I think where I'm like, oh, I'm
<v Speaker 1>surprised so many people are really vibing with this because
<v Speaker 1>I think the pacing is a little weird, where you
<v Speaker 1>can spend a very long time in these big, very
<v Speaker 1>open areas walking back and forth completing tasks, and you know.
<v Speaker 2>There's in the Vatican.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, so you're in the Vatican and it's like
<v Speaker 1>they recreated the whole thing and you're gonna go in
<v Speaker 1>the Sisteine Chapel a bunch of times, and there's people
<v Speaker 1>to talk to and whenever you talk to a character
<v Speaker 1>that they rendered as like for one of these side quests,
<v Speaker 1>it's good and they are interesting and they have fun
<v Speaker 1>things to say, and then you'll go do their quest.
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think those quests are always super fascinating,
<v Speaker 1>but they're also not bad. It's just like, at a
<v Speaker 1>certain point, when you're in our five of being in
<v Speaker 1>the Vatican, it's like, okay, IV kind of I'm getting
<v Speaker 1>a little sick of this now. To be fair, right
<v Speaker 1>around then is when it does end as well, and
<v Speaker 1>then you move on to the next thing.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just.
<v Speaker 1>Not as like whip cracking like Indiana gets in a situation.
<v Speaker 1>He's he discovers something important and as he's having this realization,
<v Speaker 1>the nazis break through the wall right at that moment,
<v Speaker 1>and then he's off to the next next place. That's
<v Speaker 1>how the movies go. The game has to stop and say,
<v Speaker 1>we took a long time building this, We're gonna let
<v Speaker 1>you do some more archaeology and puzzles and stuff like
<v Speaker 1>that to kind of fill it in. And it's a
<v Speaker 1>fair trade. I think it's just like I think it
<v Speaker 1>does hurt the pacing.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's the side stuff in the oh, the
<v Speaker 3>stuff that can make you spend a lot of time
<v Speaker 3>in places like the bat can are very much optional,
<v Speaker 3>and they're kind of designed so that you have this
<v Speaker 3>system called adventure points where if you do indie shit,
<v Speaker 3>but like you know, you pick up a letter that says, hey,
<v Speaker 3>you meet me at this place at this time and
<v Speaker 3>show you the mysterious thing that I found, and you're
<v Speaker 3>like oh, I'm.
<v Speaker 2>Gonna go see what that's all about.
<v Speaker 3>You unlock some adventure points, which then you can use
<v Speaker 3>later on to when you find these books to kind
<v Speaker 3>of spend on upgrading your abilities. It's not a skill tree.
<v Speaker 3>It's like in India will read a book and be like, oh,
<v Speaker 3>so this is how I punch harder.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, exactly.
<v Speaker 3>And then so that part of it is is kind
<v Speaker 3>of in your to your discretion. But the thing that
<v Speaker 3>I was very surprised back by is one the game
<v Speaker 3>doesn't fall into that typical video game adaptation trap where
<v Speaker 3>they take a franchise and then they always filter it
<v Speaker 3>through the exact same what our video games filter or lens,
<v Speaker 3>where suddenly it takes whatever game it is and turns
<v Speaker 3>it into an action game yep, where it's like, oh,
<v Speaker 3>here we have Shortshank Redemption the video game. Everyone's shooting
<v Speaker 3>and punching each other, our hair's twelve angry men the
<v Speaker 3>video game. Everyone's shooting it and punching each other, our
<v Speaker 3>hair's I don't know, can.
<v Speaker 2>There will be blood.
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's shooting, punching and attacking aliens, and it's like, why
<v Speaker 3>did you do this? They clearly I went and looked
<v Speaker 3>at and there was like, what can we make? How
<v Speaker 3>can we turn Indiana Jones into a video game? And
<v Speaker 3>what they did was they found a a really nice
<v Speaker 3>middle ground and used some some kind of like design
<v Speaker 3>elements that they're very familiar with or have access to
<v Speaker 3>expertise on, and that is, you know, exploration, health, and
<v Speaker 3>some immersive sim elements as well, which I mean machine
<v Speaker 3>games is no isn't known for their immersive simness, but
<v Speaker 3>they are stablemates with Arcane and obviously what was the
<v Speaker 3>name of that co op uh uh Wolfenstein game again?
<v Speaker 2>Young Blood I think young Blood Blood, new Bloods.
<v Speaker 1>Or whatever, the team that goes back to the Chronicles
<v Speaker 1>of Riddick And it's like, you see.
<v Speaker 3>Really feels like that, And I wasn't expecting that at all.
<v Speaker 3>I outside of like the tutorial where they teach you
<v Speaker 3>have to punch and parry, I haven't got into any combat,
<v Speaker 3>and that's by design. You can choose to to get
<v Speaker 3>into combat. I feel like if you, yeah, if you
<v Speaker 3>if you try and like go combat as the main
<v Speaker 3>form of like your interaction with enemies, I think it
<v Speaker 3>could get stale after a little while. Yeah, they don't
<v Speaker 3>make Indiana Jones like capable of.
<v Speaker 1>Like much super He's a guy.
<v Speaker 2>He's just a man.
<v Speaker 3>He can like punch block and that's about it. And
<v Speaker 3>maybe you can use your whip to drag people or
<v Speaker 3>disarm people. That's fine, and it's fun when you do it,
<v Speaker 3>but I think it's we say this. Our review was
<v Speaker 3>written by Richard Wakeling, and he says it in a
<v Speaker 3>review as well. It's more fun if you do it
<v Speaker 3>every now and then, right, because then you can have
<v Speaker 3>that moment where you're like, haha, you go indie, and
<v Speaker 3>then you can just carry on with your business. But
<v Speaker 3>for the most part, I've just been like skulking around
<v Speaker 3>and I've been like keeping the eye and they do
<v Speaker 3>really nice things with like you know, taking the time
<v Speaker 3>to create and fully flesh out all these environments like
<v Speaker 3>the Vatican, Like I have not into the Vikan have
<v Speaker 3>I been.
<v Speaker 2>I've been to the vicant.
<v Speaker 1>She so high I couldn't remember. I don't remember much about.
<v Speaker 2>The vacant after going there.
<v Speaker 3>I think the pup was real mad at me for
<v Speaker 3>spray painting on the side of the wall. But I've
<v Speaker 3>been like looking around and it's really nice and like
<v Speaker 3>just absorbing the environment, which is really cool and and
<v Speaker 3>the pace of it is something that I'm really enjoying,
<v Speaker 3>having come off like a bunch of like faster pace
<v Speaker 3>games recently. Just taking my time walking around doing Indiana
<v Speaker 3>Jones stuff like finding little mysteries, pulling a lever, Wow,
<v Speaker 3>secret door, what's that down there? I'm gonna like this
<v Speaker 3>bressire that kind of stuff. It's it's a lot of fun.
<v Speaker 3>I did not expect to be as And I know
<v Speaker 3>a few hardcore Indiana Jones fans, like one of the
<v Speaker 3>guys we used to work in the UK team, Adam Mason.
<v Speaker 3>He's got a phone cover that he has very hastily
<v Speaker 3>used like red bubble to print out and did not
<v Speaker 3>pay attention to the actual dimensions. So he has a
<v Speaker 3>phone case that reads Indian Joan and he is a big,
<v Speaker 3>big fan of Indiana Johnes obviously, And I am just
<v Speaker 3>I wish I could just be in the room and
<v Speaker 3>watching play this game like some sort of weird video
<v Speaker 3>game experience cock and like, I am sure that anyone
<v Speaker 3>who loves Indiana Jones is going to have a wonderful
<v Speaker 3>time with this game.
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to the machine games man.
<v Speaker 3>Like it's also like a really interesting, really cool and
<v Speaker 3>really exciting example of that team diversifying a little bit
<v Speaker 3>of what they do. I'm sure people were. I was
<v Speaker 3>one of the people who was upset where I was like,
<v Speaker 3>can you just make them make a Wolfenstein again?
<v Speaker 2>Please? They're just so good at that.
<v Speaker 3>But they put this game out and I was like,
<v Speaker 3>fair play. I was not proven wrong. I didn't expect
<v Speaker 3>it would be bad, but I was like, I'll take that.
<v Speaker 3>That's an ex so far, an excellent job.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. They really did a very good job, and it's
<v Speaker 1>I think it sets them up to make more of these.
<v Speaker 1>I expect him to hop right back in and make
<v Speaker 1>a couple more Indiana Jones games, at least one more
<v Speaker 1>after this as a follow up.
<v Speaker 2>I'll just like, let's not do too many of those though, please.
<v Speaker 1>No, no, I do expect I expect them to do
<v Speaker 1>at least one more, though, So.
<v Speaker 2>You know what they should do. They should they should
<v Speaker 2>do one one. It should be young Indiana Jones.
<v Speaker 1>That's that would be very cool to see.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there would, and then they kill him off.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, it's and that's the the Indie Fails timeline
<v Speaker 1>going for. Yeah, the last couple of things, I think that, uh,
<v Speaker 1>like you said the villain's very good. It is very good.
<v Speaker 1>It's like if you liked the villain characters and hating
<v Speaker 1>them in Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein to excuse me, the new Colossus.
<v Speaker 1>You will see a lot of that here. It works
<v Speaker 1>very well here as well.
<v Speaker 3>The way you pronounce the name of that game. There
<v Speaker 3>has also created the opportunity to make another game, Wolfenstein
<v Speaker 3>Wolfstein Wolfenstein game where you play the dog. Come on
<v Speaker 3>wolf Stein wolfin Stein.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's the d make where you're on rough machine games.
<v Speaker 2>Job ever you.
<v Speaker 1>And then I think the one of the small disappointments
<v Speaker 1>for the game for me is uh Indiana Jones as
<v Speaker 1>a fan. The whole idea from the beginning was Lucas
<v Speaker 1>was saying to Spielberg, well, I you want to make
<v Speaker 1>a James Bond movie, I got something better. Let's do this.
<v Speaker 1>There's this guy Indiana, and he chases after mcguffins that
<v Speaker 1>are actually really magic. They're really a thing that is
<v Speaker 1>interesting in their own unlike most mcguffins and movies which
<v Speaker 1>are and for people don't like. Most people are gonna
<v Speaker 1>know what mcguffin is. But Mcguffin's just a thing, a
<v Speaker 1>character chases in a movie, it gives them a reason
<v Speaker 1>to move the plot forward. But in Indiana Jones that
<v Speaker 1>they were supposed to be Like, no, it's really is
<v Speaker 1>the Ark of the Covenant, and you're gonna it is
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the thing at the end of the movie
<v Speaker 1>that is going to change things. The Great Circle, I'm
<v Speaker 1>like struggling to It's just not like one thing, right,
<v Speaker 1>It's not like, oh the Cup of Christ. Uh.
<v Speaker 2>Great circle is the friends you made along the way.
<v Speaker 1>It really is, like you really have to just kind
<v Speaker 1>of accept that because it's the itself is not super
<v Speaker 1>interesting so far, but yeah, whatever.
<v Speaker 2>Everything of the story.
<v Speaker 3>Have you heard the story behind like the franchise where
<v Speaker 3>Steven Spielberg and George Lucas met in an elevator and
<v Speaker 3>like quickly pitched him on it and that's how we
<v Speaker 3>got Kingdom Hearts?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, uh huh, you're proud of yourself.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, everyone for your Kingdom Hose finals dying to tell
<v Speaker 3>you that every single it's the Vego Morrison kicked the
<v Speaker 3>helmet like Kingdom has people.
<v Speaker 1>Lucas did break his toe in that elevator as well.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely all right, I'm gonna keep playing Indiana I'm like
<v Speaker 1>twelve thirteen hours in and yeah, I'm looking forward to
<v Speaker 1>see you.
<v Speaker 2>It's not super long as well. It's like twenty hours
<v Speaker 2>your compussion.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like three big areas then or is it like
<v Speaker 1>four big areas.
<v Speaker 3>I don't I'm not all the way through it, but
<v Speaker 3>you can add more time to it, obviously if you
<v Speaker 3>do everything on the side. And yeah, but I think
<v Speaker 3>it's fairly breezy. Our review it was like, yeah, I
<v Speaker 3>just it didn't take that long at all. I mean
<v Speaker 3>I was like twenty plus hours.
<v Speaker 1>But also very easy to adjust difficulties for every little thing,
<v Speaker 1>like you can do it across the board. But then
<v Speaker 1>each thing has like a bunch of different settings underneath that.
<v Speaker 1>So if you want the combat to like be like, hey,
<v Speaker 1>I want them to take more damage when I shoot them,
<v Speaker 1>but I still want to be pretty vulnerable myself, you
<v Speaker 1>could set it that way. So pretty cool. All right,
<v Speaker 1>let's move along here, Reuters says UBI Soft shareholders are
<v Speaker 1>in talks over possible buyout terms. This is from Sal
<v Speaker 1>Ramano at Damatsu. Ubisoft shareholders are considering how to structure
<v Speaker 1>a possible buyout. Two people familiar with the matter told
<v Speaker 1>Reuters the Guimo family, which is the largest and founding
<v Speaker 1>shareholder of Ubisoft, has reportedly been in talks with ten Cent,
<v Speaker 1>which owns a ten percent steak in the company and
<v Speaker 1>Let's See Yes, and other shareholders in recent weeks about
<v Speaker 1>a funding a boy funding a management led buyout. People
<v Speaker 1>said that the Guimo family would likely retain control over
<v Speaker 1>the company, but ten Cent has not decided whether it
<v Speaker 1>will participate in a buyout and increase and increase its
<v Speaker 1>stake in the company. Ten Cent is said to have
<v Speaker 1>asked for a greater say on future board decisions in return,
<v Speaker 1>which the Gilloma family has not agreed to. Discussions are
<v Speaker 1>reportedly ongoing as ten Cent would like to prevent a
<v Speaker 1>hostile takeover of you Besoft by other investors. One person
<v Speaker 1>said ten cents plan is to remain patient and wait
<v Speaker 1>for the Gimeo family to agree to a deal, which
<v Speaker 1>seems like it might be the right strategy if you're
<v Speaker 1>ten Cent, right, because the Guimo family you be soft there.
<v Speaker 1>They're only going to feel more pressure going forward, especially
<v Speaker 1>assassage Creed Shadows. If that doesn't work out, like this
<v Speaker 1>company is going to be in dire straits and will
<v Speaker 1>be a target for a hostile take over at that point,
<v Speaker 1>because the stock price will dip even further, and it
<v Speaker 1>has dipped quite a bit recently. You know what, I
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily know what the fallout from all this would be.
<v Speaker 1>This is a company that needs new leadership. I feel
<v Speaker 1>like so them trying to find a way to struggle
<v Speaker 1>to keep the Gioma family in charge. I don't think
<v Speaker 1>this is going to solve anything long term for yousoft
<v Speaker 1>from the people that work at that company. What do
<v Speaker 1>you think, dam I mean, yeah, not.
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the.
<v Speaker 3>State that ibstuff currently in is very much chickens coming
<v Speaker 3>home to roost. It's become very reliant on a singular franchise,
<v Speaker 3>I think, and it's also become very reliant on a
<v Speaker 3>specific type of gameplay model and design template in a
<v Speaker 3>lot of ways. They had a period of time where
<v Speaker 3>they were being very experimental and that paid off in
<v Speaker 3>two different regards. But I feel like it's very risk
<v Speaker 3>averse now, and you can tell for me as someone
<v Speaker 3>on the outside looking in, the impact of that is
<v Speaker 3>quite noticeable and severe. Where a game like Prince of
<v Speaker 3>Persia The Lost Crown is probably my favorite use of
<v Speaker 3>game that's been made in quite a long time, and
<v Speaker 3>the team, the way that team was treating, you know,
<v Speaker 3>like disbanded instead of being told, hey, you guys nailed it.
<v Speaker 2>You folks nailed it, knocked out the park. What do
<v Speaker 2>you want to do next? How do you?
<v Speaker 3>How can we support you? You know, they've been turned
<v Speaker 3>into I don't know what the rumor is, like Rayman
<v Speaker 3>them or whatever it may be. It's just like, ah,
<v Speaker 3>I decide if they bring back Rayman, they're doing the
<v Speaker 3>stupidest thing. No one, no one gives a shit about Raymon. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>those games are cool, but like.
<v Speaker 1>Well, myself, I like ray Man. I don't know, I'm
<v Speaker 1>not pining for it.
<v Speaker 3>Feel like you could take those original games, remove Rayman
<v Speaker 3>from there, and put some amorphous blob back in, and
<v Speaker 3>the games are still bangers. I do love, like, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>morphas blobs are pretty good, good character on them. But
<v Speaker 3>I would prefer if they took all that engineerity and
<v Speaker 3>put it in like Prince of Persia or some new thing.
<v Speaker 1>You know.
<v Speaker 2>I just I just don't feel like that's the smart
<v Speaker 2>move there.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's definitely like not going to be the
<v Speaker 1>key to their their success.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, not at all, but yeah, I don't I feel
<v Speaker 3>like the problem we have is upper in the upper echelons.
<v Speaker 3>They have very like ingrained, entrenched, archaic thinking, and the
<v Speaker 3>people that are in at the wheel or the reason
<v Speaker 3>that it's still there, they they have built a company
<v Speaker 3>on the success of one major franchise and then basically,
<v Speaker 3>you know, oriented everything around that franchise, and that franchise
<v Speaker 3>is kind of waning, like people aren't as into it
<v Speaker 3>anymore as they used to be. I mean, like Assassin's
<v Speaker 3>Creed is always going to have some level of perennial popularity,
<v Speaker 3>but it's no longer the industry the cultural touchstone that
<v Speaker 3>it once was in the et CEO days, and even
<v Speaker 3>as like post et CEO, I don't I think that
<v Speaker 3>franchise has got by by being there at a start
<v Speaker 3>of generations and also by drastically evolving what it is.
<v Speaker 3>I feel like evolving into an old world which are
<v Speaker 3>starting brought gave it a new lease on life. But
<v Speaker 3>that lease on life has got a very short half life,
<v Speaker 3>and we're quickly realizing that, oh they're just kind of
<v Speaker 3>extending the life of that by doing just barely changing
<v Speaker 3>things or hoping for the best. And like the last
<v Speaker 3>effort to try and evolve the experience of Assassin's Creed
<v Speaker 3>was We've created this hub where you can live an
<v Speaker 3>Assassin's Creed life and it will link to other Assassins
<v Speaker 3>Creed tiles.
<v Speaker 1>That like manifested in any way. It's not Yeah, that's.
<v Speaker 3>And I can tell you no one gets a shit
<v Speaker 3>about that. Okay, there's very few people.
<v Speaker 2>On this planet that are like that into into Assassins
<v Speaker 2>Creed that they're like.
<v Speaker 3>Oh boy, I can't wait to have a glorified Assassin's
<v Speaker 3>Creed launcher. I love Assassin's Creed. I'm very excited for Shadow.
<v Speaker 3>I love the Assassin's Creed. Now I'm all like, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>checking game by game, that's that's not the one man
<v Speaker 3>like and and I feel like the problem they have
<v Speaker 3>is they're unwilling to change anything because the biggest successes
<v Speaker 3>that they've had have been by placing Assassins Creed front
<v Speaker 3>and center. And when you have shareholders who are like
<v Speaker 3>more money, graft go up, and you have no other
<v Speaker 3>like verifiable, provable, evidential avenue that has shown you that
<v Speaker 3>you can make a lot of money in a different way,
<v Speaker 3>you your result is rely on some rely on Assassin's
<v Speaker 3>Creed or chase trends, and that's exactly what they've done
<v Speaker 3>on both counts. And while the Assassin's Creed train can
<v Speaker 3>keep rolling a little bit longer, the chasing trends is
<v Speaker 3>clearly falling apart.
<v Speaker 2>People are losing their drugs. X definans been closing down.
<v Speaker 3>Even stuff like Star Wars has been kind of like eh,
<v Speaker 3>came and went, and I feel like that that company
<v Speaker 3>needs a complete overhaul. I don't like ten Cent taking
<v Speaker 3>over anything, but there is a some real questions need
<v Speaker 3>to be like gim only to be taken into a
<v Speaker 3>room and been like, what fuck are you doing?
<v Speaker 1>Man?
<v Speaker 2>Yep, I think what's going on?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I think right, that's that is actually the thing
<v Speaker 1>that would solve everything. Uh yeah, I mean, you know,
<v Speaker 1>like you mentioned the ex Defiance closing down, they said
<v Speaker 1>they're still committed to live service games. They're it's like,
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're gonna just keep doing the things they've
<v Speaker 1>been doing because they have the same leadership, so we
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't expect anything different from them, and this whole deal
<v Speaker 1>is going to maintain that status quo even if it changes,
<v Speaker 1>like oh, it's not a publicly traded company. It's privately owned,
<v Speaker 1>but the Gamel family still owns the majority, with ten
<v Speaker 1>Cent right next to them.
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really I'm going to press save this company.
<v Speaker 3>I think it's really impressive that they can commit to
<v Speaker 3>live service games despite repeatedly failing at live service games.
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's a real good.
<v Speaker 3>Like example or like real good evidence of how much
<v Speaker 3>brain rot trend chasing and the live service like the
<v Speaker 3>of goal that is forever at the bottom of that
<v Speaker 3>rain is they've had one good live service success, and
<v Speaker 3>that's Assassin's not Assassin Cry, that's a Rainbow six siege
<v Speaker 3>each other than that, they put out crap after crap
<v Speaker 3>that hasn't worked.
<v Speaker 2>Even their best live service.
<v Speaker 3>Games hasn't performed in the way that they probably want,
<v Speaker 3>something like The Division, which is ye, I mean like
<v Speaker 3>they were good games, but were they popping off in
<v Speaker 3>the way that they thought they would as a live
<v Speaker 3>service game. No, they're not, But yet they keep going
<v Speaker 3>for it, which is like why are you doing this?
<v Speaker 2>Man?
<v Speaker 3>Like I know Eaves can sit there and like whoever
<v Speaker 3>else is on the executive can sit there and keep
<v Speaker 3>making that decision, keep pressing the same button with very
<v Speaker 3>little change to their daily life. But people are suffering,
<v Speaker 3>like people are going down, and like you can keep
<v Speaker 3>trying to put out whatever these side projects are like
<v Speaker 3>xtra fine, and they probably won't work. Like the closest
<v Speaker 3>you're getting is for Honna, and that was like not
<v Speaker 3>a major success either.
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. Something needs to change.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, and it's and this does not seem like it's
<v Speaker 1>going to lead to that change. So they're gonna let
<v Speaker 1>the game of family sweat it out. Maybe that changes
<v Speaker 1>the calculus at some point for that family, and they
<v Speaker 1>do are are willing to give a control, but so
<v Speaker 1>far that doesn't seem like an option. And then you know,
<v Speaker 1>on the other side, who's waiting for them. It's ten cents,
<v Speaker 1>so ten cent. I don't think they're going to come
<v Speaker 1>in there there it is already have ten percent. All right,
<v Speaker 1>let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll get
<v Speaker 1>to the rest of the news, including some people teasing
<v Speaker 1>some big stuff for the Game Awards. Talk about that
<v Speaker 1>right after this. All right. Tam uh Andy over att
<v Speaker 1>the Video Games Chronicle is trying to get people hyped
<v Speaker 1>up for the Game Awards.
<v Speaker 3>This comes from my Nintendo News saying I've been on
<v Speaker 3>the other end of Andy many many years. Yes, his
<v Speaker 3>colleagues right exactly, So I'll have you judge he's usually
<v Speaker 3>right honestly.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yes, he's He's good at it. It turns out
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of stuff happen, people whisper a lot
<v Speaker 1>more In Europe. It turns out next week is the
<v Speaker 1>biggest gaming towards ceremony of the year, the Game Awards,
<v Speaker 1>and each year people have reasonably high expectations for the
<v Speaker 1>annual event and are generally left a feeling somewhat disappointed.
<v Speaker 1>It seems as though that may not be the case
<v Speaker 1>for this year's event, though. Andy Robinson at VGC has
<v Speaker 1>been stoking the fire on x saying that he is
<v Speaker 1>expecting a very big Game Awards next week. Fire up
<v Speaker 1>the hype train, that is that's a quote from Andy Robinson.
<v Speaker 1>Whether this turned out.
<v Speaker 2>He just says that all the time, Yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 3>I worked with Andy for five plus years and on
<v Speaker 3>Friday we'd go and get chicken pasties. He'd get pasties,
<v Speaker 3>and before we'd go every time he'd be like, far
<v Speaker 3>up the hype train, Yeah, yeah, chicken pasties.
<v Speaker 1>I saw him at Summer Game Fest and then he's like,
<v Speaker 1>I got to go to the bathroom. I gotta go
<v Speaker 1>fire up the hype train. I'm like, what is he
<v Speaker 1>talking about?
<v Speaker 2>Anything?
<v Speaker 1>Anything?
<v Speaker 3>He go He ordered a coffee one time and then
<v Speaker 3>he was like hold on. He was like going to
<v Speaker 3>have an Olt milk lacke, and then the Bristol was
<v Speaker 3>like all right, cool, and then he went, can I
<v Speaker 3>have a vanilla?
<v Speaker 2>Fire up the hype? I was like, why did you
<v Speaker 2>do that? You don't have to do that.
<v Speaker 1>I saw him sitting alone. I asked, what's wrong. He says,
<v Speaker 1>I fired up the hype train. This is a good
<v Speaker 1>or a bad thing? Andy, I can't tell anymore. So anyway,
<v Speaker 1>he said that Tom Warren from The Verge, I was like,
<v Speaker 1>I agree. He retweeted it and said, I also think
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be a big one. So I'm
<v Speaker 1>not like we've been busy with getting ready for shit.
<v Speaker 1>So I've not like been out there like trying to
<v Speaker 1>hit the streets trying to find out what's going on.
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. I'm getting pretty excited.
<v Speaker 3>I would say it's going to be a good game. Awards, Yes,
<v Speaker 3>I would say telling people it's going to be a
<v Speaker 3>good game awards the best how you make it not a.
<v Speaker 1>Good game way to make sure people.
<v Speaker 3>If you are like in a privileged position like we are,
<v Speaker 3>where you hear things and people tell you this is
<v Speaker 3>going to be the the smartest thing to do is
<v Speaker 3>tell no one tell. Don't even act like you know anything.
<v Speaker 3>Don't potentially be like, hey, guys, it's going to be cool.
<v Speaker 3>Trust me, never say that because you say this is
<v Speaker 3>going to be pretty cool. And on the other side,
<v Speaker 3>Bloodborn two has been like fully specked out by a
<v Speaker 3>forum post and you're like, oh god, yeah, this has
<v Speaker 3>happened to me before.
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, hey, the people that I'm talking to or
<v Speaker 1>say this PlayStation state of place is going to be
<v Speaker 1>pretty good, and then people disagree with the final result
<v Speaker 1>of that and they get very mad at me. I'm like, listen,
<v Speaker 1>other people said it. I'm just prepared, and it's like,
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I shouldn't have said anything. You're right.
<v Speaker 3>The issue that we have is when people say it
<v Speaker 3>like who have some understanding or like have some right
<v Speaker 3>to Yeah, they say it relative to like.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the last one or maybe you know.
<v Speaker 3>An understanding of like what people expect currently versus what
<v Speaker 3>they see could come when people who see that outside,
<v Speaker 3>who don't have that knowledge, they are comparing it to
<v Speaker 3>the best Game Awards moment of all time.
<v Speaker 1>This is the common way that the thing they've been
<v Speaker 1>pining for is about to happen. Like you said, born too, yes.
<v Speaker 3>Like right now, yeah, the only way that the only
<v Speaker 3>thing that people can see is something better than elden Ring,
<v Speaker 3>because that's like one of the high points of Game Awards,
<v Speaker 3>right and like that, no setting himself up for failure
<v Speaker 3>there man, But and and he's right, It's gonna.
<v Speaker 2>Be cool and cool for sure. That's that's all I'm saying.
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be cool, yep, because we're going to have
<v Speaker 3>a show there as well, down to the Game Awards.
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be the coolest game.
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be the coolest.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So you can watch us live being goofs.
<v Speaker 1>I think if like I'm trying to think, like what
<v Speaker 1>could be very big and it's like I'm obviously of
<v Speaker 1>course without a doubt.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if Eve Game came on and sold.
<v Speaker 3>Live on stage, they're very good live auction is pretty great,
<v Speaker 3>that would be great and.
<v Speaker 1>Sold to snoop Dog and stop to that guy wearing.
<v Speaker 2>Is there a beyond Good and Evil one T shirt?
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Part of me is like I'm doing
<v Speaker 1>the thing we could switch to really appear here. Is
<v Speaker 1>that possible? Maybe maybe some surprising new uh you know
<v Speaker 1>x Xbox thing. I mean, Tom Warrens is someone who
<v Speaker 1>covers a lot of Microsoft. Maybe that's what you know.
<v Speaker 1>So I'm trying to connect the dots already and Tam,
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm doing. Set myself up for disappointing yourself.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there will be some things
<v Speaker 3>that people I don't think, Oh for sure, expect expect it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's going to be enjoyable.
<v Speaker 3>I think the the runtime to two is hours is
<v Speaker 3>going to breeze by, and more than anything, we'll get
<v Speaker 3>to hopefully here the game awards orchestra do the metaphor
<v Speaker 3>battle theme.
<v Speaker 1>I think that is that is very likely.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't wait for that. That's I just want
<v Speaker 3>to see that guy popping off.
<v Speaker 1>If he's the flute guy, just going wild with.
<v Speaker 3>If they replace replace the vocal guy with flu it's
<v Speaker 3>just a flus exactly.
<v Speaker 1>They should definitely do that, or just like he accompanies
<v Speaker 1>the vocal guy. Yeah, that'd be awesome. Well, hey, Game
<v Speaker 1>Awards next Thursday, we will have the pre show. What
<v Speaker 1>time does that start? On December twelfth?
<v Speaker 3>I believe All One starts at two pm to be
<v Speaker 3>in Pacific. Yes, and then we're gonna have a live stage.
<v Speaker 3>Me and Lucy are going to be hosting. We're gonna
<v Speaker 3>have guests coming through, a bunch of developers from games
<v Speaker 3>that came out this year, munch of nominees.
<v Speaker 2>We're going to kick it over to Jeff.
<v Speaker 3>Grub is going to be doing interviews out on the state,
<v Speaker 3>out on the floor, and then Dan is going to
<v Speaker 3>be knocking about as well, doing manon Street stuff. John's
<v Speaker 3>going to be Everyone's going to be there Smash Brother
<v Speaker 3>style and it will go straight into the official pre
<v Speaker 3>show for the Game Awards. We're working with Jeff to
<v Speaker 3>make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. We're going
<v Speaker 3>to be physically in La outside of the hall, so
<v Speaker 3>you'll see some of what's going on out and about
<v Speaker 3>as well, and.
<v Speaker 1>It'll be fun. Yeah, if you're attending the show, the
<v Speaker 1>segments I'm doing might occasionally need someone and to like
<v Speaker 1>come in there like an interview and you ask you
<v Speaker 1>about your favorite games of the year. So I don't
<v Speaker 1>know if you see me or Jan or Sean, uh,
<v Speaker 1>you know, grab our attention if if we're.
<v Speaker 3>Not, we have security and we have told him to
<v Speaker 3>be as agro as possible.
<v Speaker 1>Well you're gonna get some ship.
<v Speaker 2>You will get your ask.
<v Speaker 1>You're good if you don't try, If you just look
<v Speaker 1>like God, you tried eye contact with me.
<v Speaker 2>I hope you try me too, dude.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I want to see I'll want that security to
<v Speaker 3>do some work.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly. I want them to just sit around and
<v Speaker 1>get paid. They gotta. I want to see a fight.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, colaradis if you see us, all right, Agent forty
<v Speaker 1>seven turns his sits onto Jean Claude van Dam as
<v Speaker 1>Hitman's next elusive target. This is from Ben Lyons at
<v Speaker 1>Game Reactor. I Interactive hit a bit of an unexpected
<v Speaker 1>bump in the road with its newly launched celebrity inspired
<v Speaker 1>elusive Targets missions as. The first to arrive centered around
<v Speaker 1>Connor McGregor, who only a couple of months later was
<v Speaker 1>charged for rape at a court in Ireland, leading to
<v Speaker 1>the Danish developer scrubbing all signs of the disruptor from
<v Speaker 1>the game. I'm gonna just go and say he was.
<v Speaker 1>He lost a civil suit basically the equivalent of a
<v Speaker 1>civil suit in Ireland, so I don't know if like
<v Speaker 1>charge for rape is exactly accurate, but he was definitely
<v Speaker 1>it was sexual assault and he lost the case. And
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, I'm gonna throw no legend in there,
<v Speaker 1>just to cover our ass a little bit.
<v Speaker 3>Not entirely related, but I think at some point someone's
<v Speaker 3>gonna go back and do a study on what Huppy
<v Speaker 3>you did to this man, because since that fight, he's
<v Speaker 3>just been fucking destroyed. That punched him so hard that
<v Speaker 3>he ruined his entire life, which is very funny to me.
<v Speaker 1>Yep. Either way, they got rid of him, and now
<v Speaker 1>they're like, okay, well we'll follow that up with a
<v Speaker 1>second attempt with JCVD. JCVD will play Max the Splitter
<v Speaker 1>Valiant in ex Ica Operative, who, after being thought dead
<v Speaker 1>for years, makes a grand reappearance, where it has also
<v Speaker 1>discovered that he has been working for rival organizations, causing
<v Speaker 1>Agent forty seven to have to remove him remove him
<v Speaker 1>for his traitorous ways.
<v Speaker 3>Got a sound reference to a movie or is it
<v Speaker 3>just a reference to the fact that you can do
<v Speaker 3>the splits really well.
<v Speaker 1>I think probably just think you can do the splits
<v Speaker 1>really well. I don't know. Listen, I like Jean Claude
<v Speaker 1>van Dam movies a handful of them. Blood Sport is incredible.
<v Speaker 1>I'll watch that whenever I see it.
<v Speaker 3>I think you're forgetting the number one John Clode van
<v Speaker 3>Dam movie Street Fighter too.
<v Speaker 1>On Street Fighter two, Street Fight of the movie. Absolutely, yes. Uh.
<v Speaker 1>There's a couple other ones that are that are fun
<v Speaker 1>that he's that, like quasi bio pick movie he did
<v Speaker 1>called JCVT. That's v that's actually really good. I yeah,
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I have a fondness for Jean Claude van
<v Speaker 1>Dam uh, and I have a real fondness for Hitman.
<v Speaker 1>So sure, let's put these together and I'll have a
<v Speaker 1>good time. I think this is fun. I hope they
<v Speaker 1>are able to do more. I think this is the
<v Speaker 1>right level of celebrity to have as an assassination target.
<v Speaker 1>In Hitman, he.
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't expendable, right, he was one of them.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's a villain inexpendables too. I think I don't
<v Speaker 1>think I ever saw Tams three because those movies aren't
<v Speaker 1>very good. I was always disappointed by them. Marvel R.
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say, how excited are you for the
<v Speaker 3>imminent release of Demolition Man on four K Blu ray.
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm hesitant because I feel like every time we
<v Speaker 1>get one of these four K blue rays they mess
<v Speaker 1>it up. My face went like jump out of my skull.
<v Speaker 2>I've seen you've seen demolition Men, right.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I've seen demolish Men a lot. I gotta say
<v Speaker 1>I love Demolish Man. I walk around being like, am
<v Speaker 1>I the person who likes Demolition Man the most? And
<v Speaker 1>then I met you and I was like, Okay, no,
<v Speaker 1>this is what a real fan looks like. I'm glad
<v Speaker 1>they're out there, and I appreciate this film a lot.
<v Speaker 1>I love Demolition Man.
<v Speaker 3>I'm so excited. It's the thing I'm looking forward to most.
<v Speaker 3>And like we have like holidays coming up. You know
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be amazing. I'm gonna sit my ass down
<v Speaker 3>and watch that movie over and over again. Wait, make
<v Speaker 3>a Damination Man game. Let me help you make a
<v Speaker 3>Demolition Man game. Okay, let me help you make a Demolition.
<v Speaker 1>Man game made in the same way that the Indiana
<v Speaker 1>Jones game was made. It wouldn't be too bad.
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you get the team behind mercenaries.
<v Speaker 1>They still that'd be fun too, Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Because like the whole point is like you know, they
<v Speaker 3>keep destroying ship. But I imagine if you had like
<v Speaker 3>a series of because when you start the movie, John
<v Speaker 3>Spotan and Simon Phoenix have skirmish a bunch of times.
<v Speaker 3>I can imagine if you had this game prior to it,
<v Speaker 3>where you get to go through all those skirmishes with
<v Speaker 3>like those runnings and how he got his name, and
<v Speaker 3>it ends with him like standing over a destroyed city
<v Speaker 3>and and someone goes, man, you're some kind of demolition
<v Speaker 3>man ship dude, come on press Then you press the
<v Speaker 3>button and he goes some money.
<v Speaker 1>I me just I'm gonna give you twenty dollars when
<v Speaker 1>I see you, all right. Marvel Rivals debuts to four
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and forty four thousand players on Steam alone.
<v Speaker 1>Those are concurrent players, by the way. Yeah, this is
<v Speaker 1>from Benlin's a game reactor, But that's basically the story.
<v Speaker 1>The game came out a lot of people played it
<v Speaker 1>right away. Is you know, it's free to play. It's
<v Speaker 1>that Overwatch style Marvel Rivals game. It people seem to
<v Speaker 1>like it. I played the beta and remember enjoying it
<v Speaker 1>a lot, thinking, hey, this is a really well done
<v Speaker 1>one of these. And while I might not, I'm not
<v Speaker 1>in the place of my life where I'm like each
<v Speaker 1>evening I'm spending an hour or two playing a game
<v Speaker 1>like this by myself, when this is the one where
<v Speaker 1>it's like, hey, when the friends, when the dudes in
<v Speaker 1>the discord say, hey, let's play a game right now
<v Speaker 1>it's been called Duty. I could see it very easily
<v Speaker 1>switching to Marvel Rivals for the next couple of weeks.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'm excited.
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna download. It's free, right, It's.
<v Speaker 1>Free, yep. And I think all the heroes are just unlocked, so.
<v Speaker 2>It's you know, one of those Chuck is Gamba in it.
<v Speaker 1>There's so many characters in it. There's like thirty five
<v Speaker 1>characters already. I would be surprised if Gambit, okay, Gambit.
<v Speaker 2>Not oh damn.
<v Speaker 1>But but Jeff, yeah, Jeff the Shark. I guess it
<v Speaker 1>was very I was like, I was watching the Lions
<v Speaker 1>game last night after the Pie the podcast I did
<v Speaker 1>with Mike and then uh, Nikki and Mike's brothers werelling
<v Speaker 1>there and they kept talking like Jeff is doing this,
<v Speaker 1>Jeff has that. I'm like they do they think I'm
<v Speaker 1>playing and it's like, oh no, I'm watched the game
<v Speaker 1>and they're talking about Shark in the in the game
<v Speaker 1>called Jeff. It was confusing.
<v Speaker 2>I just I just think Gambit is very cool because
<v Speaker 2>he thinks Gambit.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Man, it was X Men ninety seven though.
<v Speaker 2>Man, oh it was.
<v Speaker 3>I also watched Deadpool versus whatever the thing is, the
<v Speaker 3>Deadpool Wolverine with Gambit in it. I really enjoyed everything
<v Speaker 3>that wasn't Deadpool in that movie. Gambit was I based
<v Speaker 3>on seeing the one clip of what's his name.
<v Speaker 1>Tatum?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that I was like, wow, that's something's terrible, but
<v Speaker 3>actually he's pretty good, Like right outside of that one clip,
<v Speaker 3>and even that one clip, he's.
<v Speaker 1>Going for it with that one clip.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, and it doesn't you don't see like the
<v Speaker 3>lead up to it. I really like chanting to him
<v Speaker 3>as as a Gambit.
<v Speaker 1>Apparently it's like from around that area, so that like
<v Speaker 1>Gambit was like his favorite X Men and so he
<v Speaker 1>always wanted to play play Gambit and it's.
<v Speaker 3>Like it was such a fun movie. Yeah, And like
<v Speaker 3>spilists for that movie. I don't really care, but fucking
<v Speaker 3>I watched it on a plane and there was no
<v Speaker 3>one next to me, unfortunately, or but fortunately, so I
<v Speaker 3>got an entire ale to myself. But the bit where
<v Speaker 3>bladed showed up and I was like, one, there.
<v Speaker 1>You hit the stewardest button and I tell you, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>incredible something.
<v Speaker 2>I get a water. Thank you.
<v Speaker 1>Square Enix announces the Dragon Quest three h D two
<v Speaker 1>D remake has surpassed two million copies from my Nintendo News. Yeah, hey,
<v Speaker 1>this game seems like it's it's it's cooking. It is
<v Speaker 1>just running away. Obviously. I think huge part of that
<v Speaker 1>two million is going to be a lot of Dragon
<v Speaker 1>Quest fans in Japan showing up for it because they
<v Speaker 1>always they always do love this franchise. But two million,
<v Speaker 1>like in this quickly the game just came out, You
<v Speaker 1>kind of just don't do that unless this is a
<v Speaker 1>game that has just college. I mean that's like that's
<v Speaker 1>like when a new persona game comes out and does that.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the dragon Quest is dragon Quest is Japan's baseball.
<v Speaker 2>It's like the national support of.
<v Speaker 1>The baseball, but it's also dragon Quests.
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, yeah, and baseball is Japan's baseball. But yeah,
<v Speaker 3>but like in the in the ubiquity of like awareness
<v Speaker 3>and interest in dragon Quest, it's everyone loves it. So
<v Speaker 3>I'm completely I For as long as I've been alive
<v Speaker 3>and paying attention to how games are performing, dragon Quest
<v Speaker 3>has always absolutely popped off in Japan. I think it's
<v Speaker 3>just like I mean, it's like dragon Ball Z where
<v Speaker 3>it's just like it's just there man, or like even
<v Speaker 3>Studio Ghibbli stuff. It's is woven into the fabric of
<v Speaker 3>Japanese culture. At this point, you go into like stores
<v Speaker 3>and the entry jingles or dragon Quest like noises and
<v Speaker 3>sound effects. From there, you'll see just sliines everywhere. You'll
<v Speaker 3>see references the dragon Quest in like everything from like
<v Speaker 3>an office to a convenience store to the underground or
<v Speaker 3>like the subway system.
<v Speaker 2>It's everywhere. Man.

<v Speaker 2>LPGs now?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they're Dutch charpgs. Black Onyx, thank you so much.
<v Speaker 1>This is in that a Tetris Forever thing, which is
<v Speaker 1>still incredible. There's so many cool things in there. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Black Onys came out, and then Wizardry came out, and
<v Speaker 1>people a ton of early game developers played Wizardry specifically,
<v Speaker 1>and that inspired stuff like Dragon Quest and all that,
<v Speaker 1>all those others, but yeah, Black the first Ultimate Ultima
<v Speaker 1>as well. Thank you. Parada. Yes, all right, turn based

<v Speaker 1>Now there's always a TMNT game on its way. Now
<v Speaker 1>you're right, yes, well no wait no is it? No?
<v Speaker 2>Power Ranges is next?
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're thinking if you're thinking of it, Yes, they're
<v Speaker 1>Power Rangers. And there's a bunch of other games similar
<v Speaker 1>to that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's the other one that's coming, which is like, uh, there's.
<v Speaker 1>Tons of Avengers. There's all kinds of lost ronin ever.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's but that's gonna be like a Triple
<v Speaker 1>A ish kind of game, right yeah maybe. Anyway, this
<v Speaker 1>is from uh xalvi is Nelson. I can never remember
<v Speaker 1>how to say his first game, and I always feel bad.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's Salad okay, Zalad Nelson junior.
<v Speaker 3>Uh you know I I've called him Zalev to his face,
<v Speaker 3>So if I'm wrong, I'm gonna be very upset.
<v Speaker 1>I think I remember someone correcting me saying that Zalavir once.
<v Speaker 1>So yes, see El Paso elsewhere and I'm your beast.
<v Speaker 1>Developer Strange Scaffold has announced and announced a Teenage Mutant
<v Speaker 1>Ninja Turtles Tactical Takedown, the first ever turn based Teenage
<v Speaker 1>Mutant Ninja Turtles game. It's a yes, it's just it's
<v Speaker 1>a tactics game, strategy game, uh, turn based. It looks interesting,
<v Speaker 1>it looks pretty cool, and I'm you know, you could
<v Speaker 1>tell Zalevir is very excited. He did a video about it,
<v Speaker 1>and it makes it very cool.
<v Speaker 2>Good games.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like people the very xalivator makes interesting games. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>some people like some of his games, some people like
<v Speaker 3>other games don't like you know, that kind of stuff.
<v Speaker 3>Is very eclectic and very prolific him and his team.
<v Speaker 3>So I'm excited, see what I say. And I'm very
<v Speaker 3>very much like the idea of a TM and T
<v Speaker 3>tactics game too. Is there, am, Is there a power
<v Speaker 3>Ra Tactics scan because that sounds.
<v Speaker 2>Pretty fucking good. I'd like one of those as well.
<v Speaker 1>I really do feel like they should just have a
<v Speaker 1>big hat filled with different properties and then they just
<v Speaker 1>when they kick it out, you put it next to
<v Speaker 1>the word tactics and then there you go, that's the
<v Speaker 1>next one. And they should just keep doing that forever
<v Speaker 1>because it's always a good idea. Yeah, I think, but
<v Speaker 1>we know that for sure now after Metal Slug Tactics worked,
<v Speaker 1>it's like.
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, we talked about the Kingdom Hearts tidbit that
<v Speaker 3>everyone wants to tell you and the Vegle Mortorsen one,
<v Speaker 3>you know, the Teenage Mutant Ninja total tidbit that every
<v Speaker 3>tmn T fan has locked and loaded.
<v Speaker 1>I'm a fake TMNT fan. Tell me, uh, the TM
<v Speaker 1>and T.
<v Speaker 3>The Teenage Mutant Ninja tittles were created by the same
<v Speaker 3>substance that blinded Matt Murdoch and turned him into dat devil?
<v Speaker 2>Is that really after that? Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>After that accident, the acid goes into the sewers and
<v Speaker 3>lands on the tolls that rule, and so they exist
<v Speaker 3>in the in the technically they are dead evil characters.
<v Speaker 1>I do love that kind of shit like that. If
<v Speaker 1>a TEENAGEERU if I if every time I met a
<v Speaker 1>team and T fan going forward they told me that,
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, let's talk about it, dude, this rules.
<v Speaker 3>Yep, yeah, I would celebrate. If you're listening, get a
<v Speaker 3>dead ol reference in there. Yeah. Make someone accidentally called
<v Speaker 3>one of one of the foot Clan, the hand Clan
<v Speaker 3>or something like that.
<v Speaker 2>I know, and you'll do job all right.
<v Speaker 1>Last story here, PUBG creator reveals his ambitious new three
<v Speaker 1>game plan, which starts with prologues from Michael mcorder at
<v Speaker 1>Polygon Nearly five years after teasing his next project, PUBG
<v Speaker 1>Battlegrounds creator Brendan player Unknown Green Pubg Himself or pew
<v Speaker 1>Himself I guess, and his Player Unknown Productions team have
<v Speaker 1>revealed new details on their ambitious three game plan that
<v Speaker 1>starts today with the surprise release of Preface or Preface
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say Preface Undiscovered World, a free tech demo
<v Speaker 1>dynamically generates a massive Earth scale world for players to explore.
<v Speaker 1>Preface promises just a taste of player Unowns Productions machine
<v Speaker 1>learning game technology known as MELBA. The tech demo lets
<v Speaker 1>players journey through a two hundred million square mile world
<v Speaker 1>with dynamic points of interest to visit and a postcard
<v Speaker 1>system to document players journeys. Players time, and Preface will
<v Speaker 1>inform the developer's next project, Prologue, Go Way Back, that's
<v Speaker 1>the subtitle. Gameplay data from Preface will help refine the
<v Speaker 1>billions of future worlds of Prologue, the developer says, and
<v Speaker 1>the studios end goal project after that. So it sounds like,
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're using procedural generation and machine learning to
<v Speaker 1>make giant worlds for people to explore. That's like the big,
<v Speaker 1>ambitious part of all this, and they're gonna have one
<v Speaker 1>game that starts with that technology, and then they're gonna
<v Speaker 1>learn from that and apply that to the even bigger
<v Speaker 1>game that will be happening next time. I'm I think
<v Speaker 1>this is a great spot for someone like the people
<v Speaker 1>that made players on Player nowns a battleround to be
<v Speaker 1>where it's like, Okay, yeah, you've made a lot of money,
<v Speaker 1>you have a lot of time. Go try something experimental.
<v Speaker 1>If it's interesting, great if it If it fizzles out,
<v Speaker 1>oh well yeah that's that's how I feel about this.
<v Speaker 1>How about you?
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he shouldn't be able to call himself
<v Speaker 2>player and now.
<v Speaker 1>Now yeah, he seems very known. And also he's he's
<v Speaker 1>not the player, he's the maker. He's the developer known.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, DK, yeah, I think this is This sounds good
<v Speaker 3>to me, Like uh, I think it's what you ideally
<v Speaker 3>want people to do, right, Like once they make a
<v Speaker 3>big success, they're like, Okay, what can we make next us? Cool,
<v Speaker 3>Let's let's experiment a little bit and see what we
<v Speaker 3>can put together and go from there. So that is
<v Speaker 3>I love to see it. I interview Player Known one time,
<v Speaker 3>and it was an absolute delight. He's very chill and
<v Speaker 3>very nice, and we'll spend a lot of time talking
<v Speaker 3>about vapor. For some reason, he seems like he cares
<v Speaker 3>about making fun games. This is a long time ago,
<v Speaker 3>so maybe he h he turned into maybe he went
<v Speaker 3>the notch poff while I wasn't looking.
<v Speaker 2>But he seems fine.
<v Speaker 1>He seems fine.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And and like he at the time, he was
<v Speaker 3>very jazzed about making video games and said he had
<v Speaker 3>like a bunch of ideas that he wanted to work on.
<v Speaker 3>And I'm glad that he's finally taking the opportunity to
<v Speaker 3>to do that.
<v Speaker 1>You know, although in this video that he's in here
<v Speaker 1>now he's got a big beard, always got a big
<v Speaker 1>old beard.
<v Speaker 2>Now you know, he looks.
<v Speaker 1>That's Tom Green. He's he's becoming very Tom Green. Is
<v Speaker 1>that a reference that's too old that that now people
<v Speaker 1>know Tom Green?
<v Speaker 2>Is? I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, he was. Don't worry about it. There's it's impossible
<v Speaker 1>to explain. Yeah google it.
<v Speaker 2>Anadian American comedian.
