Starting point is 00:00:00 Yeah, because the Xbox showcase apparently was really, really good. Xbox Game Studios, all right. What's this? What's this bullshit? The invasion of Arcadia. That's in Florida. Day 1,000. Oh.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Oh. Oh. We came to spread freedom and liberate resources. This seems like a... Yeah. They're not alone in doing so. And they think they can just choose how things play out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:52 They could stop us from stealing the protector of brainwashing technology, which we need to improve our market share. What if this stranger aligned with the order and that world computer of theirs? Okay. That could be the key to closing the wrists that threatened the colonies. Projection, you guys think that? Capitalism Bad Games? This is okay.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Brought to our side through the power of capitalism. Okay, so this is, all right, yeah, it's one of these games. Got it. So this is like futuristic Margaret Thatcher or some shit. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like there's this whole style of games and I just never really got into it. I know a lot of people like them.
Starting point is 00:01:54 I'm just not really one of them, I guess. Yeah. Obsidian. What a surprise. They're the ones that made a vow. What? Is that easy mode? That's kind of cool. Outer DEIDs.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I don't know. What is this out of worlds too? An adventure made for capitalism by capitalism. Yeah, I feel like this probably is going to be mediocre. I'm going to be honest. Like, especially if you're trying to put like some kind of like, you know, current culture like critique thing, these are the same people that like wanted to put pronouns and like the character creator and avowed. It's probably is going to be a weird game.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Like I'm just being honest, right? Probably going to be a weird game. Flate our impressions and egos by staying tuned after the showpiece. That art director that like wanted to get rid of white people in games, but like he was white. Just weird, weird shit. High school level political analysis. World premiere. Yeah, it's like Starbucks barista. Babe, what's wrong?
Starting point is 00:03:33 What is this? I'm sorry. I've just been so depressed lately. You know, it would fix everything. Humanzapro. Uh-oh. Oh, what's this? Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Oh, all right. Is this the, uh, that one game? I'm trying to remember what it was even called. What the hell was it? A high on life. Yeah. I remember seeing this. Maybe they already made it making another one?
Starting point is 00:04:33 It's a cool idea. Tripping balls, yeah, a little bit. Yeah, humans are barely sentient. Damn. Scientists have done studies and their brains are like half the size of hour. Wow. So it is high on life too. That's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I feel like that game was a pretty interesting idea. idea and so I'm not surprised they made another one. Definitely makes sense. Totally makes sense. It's pretty decent? Yeah. World premiere. Oh, okay. This looks good. What's this? It won't be? Okay. Okay, now my, it's not going to be good, yes. I was excited for a minute there. Was this Tumrade or something? Is it Maximus? Is this a game? Cool. bro they need to make it illegal to make trailers with no gameplay like they should just make that shit illegal like you shouldn't be able to it should be like false advertising or something like that right
Starting point is 00:07:04 like you gotta have like some kind of shit like I've never played a plague tale game at all I've no idea right you know I was probably stuck in the in the wow progatory at that time great broom okay wait this is the advertisement
Starting point is 00:07:35 so I mean like Guys, if somebody asked you what is this, what would you tell them, right? I mean, like, you're not even, like, it would have been much better if it started with Clippy. And it was like, so you want to learn how to copy and paste. Okay, well, look on down at your keyboard and hold down the control button and select the thing that you want to select. And then that would have been a thousand fucking times better than this shit, right? That would have been funny too. Is this it?
Starting point is 00:08:18 That would sell? Yeah. It does have huge features? Does it really? Let's see. What are the features? I mean, I guess like, I mean, okay, look, download natively. Oh, stream from the cloud.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Why don't you want to stream from a, I don't know, people, who wants to do that? I don't know. Oh, that's pretty good. That, I'm gonna be weird. That's some quality right there. AMD, Risen. Bro, Intel is out. This is an Xbox.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. Yeah, this is an Xbox. So, here's pretty much how I feel about this. This is, if you can use a bunch of different apps on this, and like you could, like, theoretically, if you could use Steam on this on this, it would be insane. It would be insanely good. I don't know if you can use Steam on this or not.
Starting point is 00:09:39 You can. If you can, then I'm going to buy one. Yeah, I mean, I'll buy one, yeah. It's Windows you can, bro. Yeah. Why? I mean, why not? At Xbox, we strive to put the player first.
Starting point is 00:09:54 And that's what you've seen from us over the years. We've led the industry with backward compatibility. We championed crossplay and cross progression. We deliver game pass, first on console, then on PC, and with cloud gaming. So what's next? I actually think that Xbox, out of like Xbox Nintendo PlayStation, I've said this before, I think Xbox is the most consumer-friendly publisher of those big three right now. I do.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I don't even think it's close. How can we give you even more freedom, more choice, more ways to play? And I think the reason why, by the way, is I think that they're trying to set up a, like an establishment for them to be the cloud gaming place. because I think that everybody knows cloud gaming is the future, right? Like, we all know this. But Xbox is going to be the one that's able to do it. And I think that's why they're using all of this different technology and everything. Yeah, they're creating an ecosystem.
Starting point is 00:10:52 So when the technology for cloud gaming comes in, like, you remember back in the day? This is like 1999. Like Microsoft went and they made a tablet. And they literally made an iPad in like 1999 or 2000. And like it just wasn't, the market wasn't ready for it. I think that's what Google Stadia was, right? the market just wasn't ready for it. But if anybody's used parsec before,
Starting point is 00:11:12 parsec is really, really good. And that was like years ago. So like imagine the quality that like Xbox could have, right? And so yeah, I really think that that's what X-Boxes. That's their 15-year plan. Next step is to unify your gaming no matter where you buy or play.
Starting point is 00:11:29 So we're building an Xbox experience designed for players, not locked to a single store or tied to one device. The Xbox Ally is an Xbox you can hold in your hands. So they're multi-streaming too. I like it. I like it. And the freedom of Windows. On this Xbox, you can play games across your entire library,
Starting point is 00:11:49 including all the Windows PC game stores, from Xbox and BattleNet to Steam, Gog, and Ubisoft Connect. And the highly anticipated Hollow Night Silk Song will be available at launch and in-game pass when the Ally releases later this year. That's awesome, but when does it come out? Every new game you see in today's show will be playable on the Xbox Ally. That's really impressive.
Starting point is 00:12:11 We have always wanted you to have the unique experience of Xbox on any screen. That's why we're investing in Xbox play anywhere. No, she said the machine was coming out later this year. She didn't say that the Hullo, like the Silk Song was coming out later this year. She said two separate things. She did. Whether you're playing on console PC. That's not the way I heard it.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Maybe I'm wrong. or any Windows handheld like the new Xbox ally, the Xbox experience roams with you, your library, progression, friends, and achievements. There are over 1,000 Xbox Play Anywhere games on Xbox today. And every new game you see in today's show from our partners and our studios is Xbox Play Anywhere. And because it's Xbox, you can always have access to GamePass
Starting point is 00:13:00 with a diverse lineup of games from the biggest franchises to critically acclaimed indie hits. This is the freedom we believe players should have. Any game, anywhere. And we are giving it our all every day to make this vision real. But it all comes back to... I think this is a huge W. This is awesome.
Starting point is 00:13:18 This is, again, this is player freedom and consumer choice. This is awesome. The games. From dead to rights on the original Xbox to Armor Core 6. Yeah. Our relationship with Bandai Namco Entertainment has stood the test of time. We both believe in bringing amazing experiences to players around the world and their next game does exactly that.
Starting point is 00:13:41 From Rebel World Studio, this is a story-rich action RPG steeped in dark fantasy. This is made by some of the devs of Witcher 3, right? Thank you and enjoy the rest of the show. Yeah, Don Walker, this is the second trailer. I saw the first one. It was really fucking good. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Monsters have always been here. Does this kingdom come deliverance with vampires? Watching from the shadows, when we were at our weakest, they came out into the light. Yes. We feared for our lives, but we should have feared for our souls instead. The vampires didn't come to kill us. They came to rule us into mindless, docile cattle. Isn't it crazy what it's like whenever you have somebody who knows?
Starting point is 00:15:07 Because within like 30 seconds, this story has already a. established like five different plot devices and plot points that like, you know, you clearly see like there's like parallels to like the, you know, the middle ages church and everything like this. You can see that there's like probably some sort of decision. Like it's actually, to me it's so insane to like watch a trailer for a game that's good because it's just like it like and then you go back to like that other game, ha, ha, ha, poor, port capitalism. Look at the explodey thing.
Starting point is 00:15:45 It's just pathetic, bro. It's like this is exactly what, this is exactly the kind of shit that I think we need to see a lot more of. No gameplay, though, it doesn't matter. I mean, like, yeah, it doesn't make a difference. Like, that's the quality. Wait, somebody says the PC gaming show starts in 32 minutes. Guys, can I get a fucking break? Are you fucking kidding me?
Starting point is 00:16:19 Well, I've got to take a break from this video game. I've got to take a break from this video game announcement trailers for another video game announcement. Why can't you guys just give it a week? And then you know what I'm gonna have to do after that? I got one of these. And then I got, and then they got the LA right. Jesus! Look, all right, let me take it back.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Let me take it back. But you all see what I'm saying, right? Like, I mean, we'll go back. We're gonna watch that. We are gonna watch that. that. Okay, I gotta change my title again. What do I say PC gaming show? Actually, you know what? It doesn't even matter. Like, it literally does not even matter. I'm just gonna put this shit back on there. Like, I can put it in the title. It does not make a
Starting point is 00:17:06 difference. That's insane, man. What the fuck? Okay, I thought I was gonna take, I thought like, honestly, okay, anyway, let me, let me just, 10 minutes before the PC gaming show, I'm gonna pause this and then we're gonna stop. start watching that and then I'll come back to this. I really apologize for the discordant nature of this. I didn't know that this was going to happen. So yeah. Anyway, yeah, so that's the plan. That's where we're at. All right. And so anyway, this is just like, this, like, when I see something like this inspires me to want to be a writer. And it's the same with like Expedition 33 or like metaphor refantazio.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Like, these are the kinds of stories that I think. And it's the same thing, like, uh, not just that like, like small games too, like mouthwashing. Like, that to me is like, it's so inspiring to see the quality of this. And like the, like, for example, like that, the blood baptism, fucking brilliant. Absolutely fucking brilliant. And the woman hung up there like this as if it's like the metaphor to Jesus, but it's the body. And it's the fucking, uh, the vampires doing it. and their sacrificed, absolutely fucking, like, pristine.
Starting point is 00:18:24 And, like, it's, again, it's like watching elementary school versus a PhD. Whenever you compare the quality of this symbolism and the quality of this dialogue and narrative versus some of the other trash that we get. Like, really? Like, I mean, am I crazy for saying that? Fucking beautiful. Incredible. That I became something else in stature.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Like the old gothic castle He just walks right up there bro. He can give a fuck about gravity He's a vampire Trapped between the two worlds Fighting to even the score Fighting to understand the evil behind it all He is out there watching 2026
Starting point is 00:19:53 The world will need what it fears That's cool so you're basically So instead of being a witcher, you're a vampire Okay Cool Yeah, this is again It just makes these other games Look like a, you know, like a middle school shit
Starting point is 00:20:12 To me It does, it's just, it's not even It's not even in the same universe Was triple a shame? Yeah, that's it Same Currier's Witcher 3? Yeah, I know What are these?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Mario? No way it's Mario. It is what? Oh, bro. She left you for a guy with a nicer car. First time? This is badass. This is a super meat boy, right?
Starting point is 00:21:07 This is really cool. I wonder if I'll play this one on... Man. Man. Oh. That's badass. Maybe I'll try that out. That's a game I might play on a controller.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I hate to say it. I might have to. Yeah. No, you won't. I played new games. I played, even I played Liza PDLC yesterday. Well, I don't know if I really say I've played it, but...
Starting point is 00:21:53 What is this? This is, dude, this is Ninja Guiden, right? I'll kill the dark dragon myself. It's my mission. My duty is a braven ninja. Breaking the Dark Dragon Free has its consequences. Look at the quality
Starting point is 00:22:17 of this game, by the way, compared to Neo3. I actually think that this is the game that is going to bring Team Ninja into the next generation of Team Ninja games. This, in my opinion, like, it's definitely like one or two steps up from Neo3
Starting point is 00:22:32 or from Rise of the Ronan or from Luong, right? Like, this is a really, really big step up. This is high quality. This is platinum. I don't mean by platinum. This is it. Sierra.
Starting point is 00:22:56 For you? There's something I need your help with. Remember how I did that once on accident and I never did it again? The Inezuma drop. I remember that. I did that one once. I never did it again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Team Ninja and Platinum Games. Oh, I understand them that uh that weapon looks really cool the dark dragon is mine i mean like i went hard on that that old ninja guiding game i played that one a lot this is a guarantee we're gonna play this like i'm so excited to play this shit this is gonna be fucking fun too excited we reflexes be enough if i have the big two-ended weapon that i can kill them before they hit me won't matter yeah i already have a planned out I beat the whole game like that I only heard good things about this game, but I just don't know how big of an audience like we're really used for this.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Game of the year. Game of the year. Who said that? This is where it starts. Beneath the streets of Rome. Enter the city of Antioch. Find a secret relic. Bring it back to the holy sea. It's a good game.
Starting point is 00:24:58 It's pretty good so far, yeah. Giants. Oh shit. Crusaders. The Order of Giants. I wonder how deep they're going to go with that. I don't know. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:25:33 It dropped after two hours. Yeah, I don't know. DLC's gonna be $150. I mean, it's not really like it's not my kind of game. World premiere. This next one's gonna be my kind of game. I can just, I can tell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Oh, it's in, okay, yeah. This is gonna be my game. Oh, yeah. It's a Japanese voice and I already saw a sword. I'm in. Pokemon Defs made this. Game free. Oh, they did.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Got to catch them all. Got to kill them all. Man, man, I wonder if I'm going to play the sword game. It's a real mystery. The year is 4,026. Wait what? Tired of plant monsters? To me, this gives me kind of some vibes from Stover Blade. Oh my, you, because of Rhinne's of Reincarnation.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Oh, I think I know what this is gonna be. This is some like, there's so much life that it's destroying the universe or some shit, yeah, or the world. That's cool. Kind of like the opposite of Expedition 33, I assume. of avalon sure do shine avalon because they suit their filth down to us i was playing that game yesterday on level 60 i'm taining ground now
Starting point is 00:27:51 1895 that's when war war two happened here's the plane in the mud life here ain't for the soft-hearted you will be paying me who is this show you fucking the sharp for the spineless to keep your filthy pickers off me Oh shit, it's got Chucky in there? That's a clean sweep for water.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Oh, the knob. There has been a crime. Justice itself has been affronted. I have been Burkholt. I really think that the quality of these character designs is really high. This is really good, this is great character design. You don't see this all the time. Is we.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Yes, I got that part. It's got that steampunk vibe, but it doesn't go overboard like Marathon does. We can't arrest and question everyone. Let's see if we can narrow the suspects down a bit. We were, uh, trust your instincts, sir. Tall. Yes, sir. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Be rather slim, we're muscular. So this is just you make this as character maker? Yeah. With a mustache. No, Oh, I see. Damn. That's the feet of.
Starting point is 00:29:28 You know, I really think this is, this is a great thing. So many video games have like, there's like 10 hairstyles for men and like 40 different hairstiles for women, an entire different fucking setting for makeup. Like, we need more beards and we need more hairstyles for men. in these video games. Like, I like this. I like this. They got my good side this time.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Breaking in is the easy part. And this are. Getting away with it is the real trick. These candlesticks ain't gold. Worthless and dull, just like you. Nah. I have a customer. How can I help you?
Starting point is 00:30:24 I'd rather talk to you, Errol. Sounds like I'll get a better deal. You talk to me first, and him never. Got it. This is good. Uncle's a bit touchy, ain't he, Errol? This is good. I say that, touchy.
Starting point is 00:30:44 There. Anything else you'd care to say to Errol? Brains. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I'm going to play this. Round there. It's all sharp edges. Empty pockets.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And blood on the cobbles. Goodbye, Silas. No, no. I'll hurt you, you fucking Mee-Tac. I'll leave you with a busy fan of breeches. You'd either got a gang at your back or a knife in it. We're family here. Is gangs of New York steam pong style?
Starting point is 00:31:28 How about that? on there, can you? I love that movie. They keep power. This is a story game? That's okay. They just want us beaten, broken, and too scared to fight back.
Starting point is 00:31:48 I don't want to kill him. That's why it pays to be clever and well armed. Oh shit. It's like call of duty. Instead of lies of P, this is guns of P. A few arguments. I am so fucking in on this game like this shit this is badass Oh I did this is so good. They've got a weapon far worse
Starting point is 00:32:22 Time and if they can rewrite history Oh damn, they can rewrite us but look who just found mummies keys now I can fit it with time Put the bullet back in the barrel What? Bring the case to a crawl, take a mistake and make it like it never happened.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Oh, he got a redo. We can change the world as we know it. Nice. Replace the women. Go back and change the past to change the future. And let me tell you, the hunters don't like it when the rabbits got the gun. Man. Crazy that they just announced a total.
Starting point is 00:33:45 new IP as far as I know I've never heard of any game like this and it's so fucking cinema. This is insane that I showed this before I don't remember seeing it. $80 game though? I mean I hope it's good. If it's good I would buy it.
Starting point is 00:34:05 And just wait for it to go on sale, man. Yeah, it'll go on sale. It's free on Game Pass. I unironically think you should buy GamePass. Our creative teams are dedicated to bringing players award-winning, record-breaking, critically acclaimed games. Call of Duty, BlackOps 6 from Activision, Doom the Dark Ages from Bethes.
Starting point is 00:34:29 I can't believe they're not using my idea of stopping September 11th, but the towers still fall. They should, if they, if they did that, it would be generational. Like that would be the most, that would, that would put Grand Theft Auto's controversy. That would make it look like, you know, Hello Kitty Island event. adventure. Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred from Blizzard. Oh no. And avowed from Xbox game studios. All of our teams across Xbox first party are shipping their most played games ever,
Starting point is 00:35:04 and they're also delivering more content than ever before. From original single player experiences to vast online worlds, our teams... Somebody said, wait a second. Somebody said, um, fucking yes, yes, edgy 12 year old idea. Who the fuck do you think plays cod? Are empowered to build the games they've always dreamed of. We want our players to have the choice and flexibility of where and how they play the games our teams make. So, of course, our games will be available day one in Game Pass and every new game we make.
Starting point is 00:35:43 For both Xbox consoles and PC will be Xbox Play Anywhere. That's insane. On behalf of our creative teams, thank you. Huge XboxW. These experiences don't stop when you put down the computer. controller. As you've seen in recent years, more and more of our characters, stories, and worlds are expanding to brand new audiences through TV and film. A Minecraft movie and the Fallout TV series broke records and brought millions of players into the game. We have more
Starting point is 00:36:13 projects in the works as gaming continues to influence film and television like never before. When it comes to growing new franchises, Obsidian is having a year like Noah. from launching a blockbuster new game like a vowed. A blockbuster? I think he means to say bankbuster. The upcoming release of the Outer Worlds 2 this October. Obsidian is always delivering great games, and they have a third game launching this year.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I think Obsidian might be going the direction of Ubisoft where they're spreading their talent pretty thin, and you're making three AAA games or double A games. A games at least at the same time. I just can't see how you can do that and maintain the quality. Because like Obsidian also made, you know, what was it, fucking Fallout, like Fall 76 or whatever, like Fall into Vegas. It's like an insanely good game.
Starting point is 00:37:12 And so like, and I never understood why people thought like Obsidian was so good until I watched that. And I feel like, again, I almost like now I'm not even really blaming Obsidian's politics. I actually think that they're in a Ubisoft situation where like they're trying to just, they're spread too thin. And I think you play a Vowd, and it's really obvious that, like, there were a few really good things in Avowed and, like, good dynamics and, like, types of design.
Starting point is 00:37:38 But the majority of the game was, like, really kind of surface level. And if they were able to, like, fully invest into one of these games rather than two of them or three of them, then you'd have a totally different situation. And you'd have a new good game. So deeper on it and our direct. But until then, let's take a look. World premiere. World premiere.
Starting point is 00:37:58 I told you what the f can't run from me you foul beast oh shit he man oh wow oh with new flexible legs the yoke girth action figure can ride anything yeah wait that's interesting placement breaking news there's been an explosion at brook hollow park Wow. Chaos descended on a ceremony commemorating the two-year anniversary of when four teenagers were miniaturized against their will. We left a fight for their survival in the backyard of a deranged scientist. This is grounded, right? It's gotta be grounded. It's got to be grounded.
Starting point is 00:38:45 ...was set to dedicate a statue of the four teenagers, fast food science robot, Borgle, and Dr. Tolly, when an explosion erupted. Dr. Tully and the teenagers current whereabouts are also unknown. I remember I had a TV with those three things in the front of it. That was like one of my criteria for buying my first TV. Oh shit. You gotta keep them separated. I've seen people play this game and actually look pretty good. It's a W game?
Starting point is 00:39:25 Yeah. Is this co-op? Like all the people like, or are they like pawns like in a fucking Dragon's Dogma? Yeah, it's co-op? Okay. That's probably why I didn't play it. I feel like a praying man, it's just kind of O-P. It's a roach. Yeah, this is pretty cool July 29th. Maybe I should actually try that and play with other human beings. Can you imagine that? Me playing with other people? That'd be weird. That'd be really weird. Looks good so far.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Attempting data salvage. Oh. It was in a state of suppressed. Oh. The behavior pattern of the orphans populating the area unusual. Okay. They become exceptionally aggressive. Yeah, this looks great.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Like that quality at least. Style school. Really recommended to proceed with passion. Dead space, you think so? Never seen, never played Dead Space. You have to keep in mind. I basically didn't play video games for 20 years. Yeah, I always started playing video games in 2000 and 21.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Before that I didn't do, I didn't play video games. It's like four or five. Pronos, the new Dawn. Yeah, looks pretty good. I'm about it. Play slow. Yeah, I like playing. slower. Like I usually play games at a slow pace. Bet that this is elder school six.
Starting point is 00:42:04 No, I don't even know what this is actually. Baldi's gonna save me. I'm a furry. Oh, oh, Elder Scrolls Online. What a bait. I played Elder Scrolls Online. It's just not for me. It's just not my thing, you know? Yeah. I feel like I Like a lot of MMOs. I'm just kind of, I don't know. I just feel like everything in those games take too long. Tedious. What's this music?
Starting point is 00:42:59 It's for like old people. It's a banger. Yeah, boomer rock. The Beatles? Oh, God. You belong here. With all the other furries. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:43:24 I knew it. No, I don't. I do not. The server events kind of cool. You heard the trailer, you belong here? Seasons of the WormCult? I just can't see, like, I mean, I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever go hard on another MMO again.
Starting point is 00:43:53 I'm sure I'll play one again, but like... World Premiere. Playing like I played Lost Ark or New World or Wow. Like, I don't know. Huge time investment. Made it! Made it! Home one to mission control, we're falling.

Like it's alright, but like... It's like what I said before about how there's so many games that are out right now.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Like when would I make the decision to play this game over something else? I don't know. I mean, I'm just talking about my personal opinion. I feel like there's a lot of people that feel the way I do though. Unironic reditors. Oh, they can't... They don't have time to play video games. They have to disprove the Bible.
Starting point is 00:45:41 I'll find you. find you yeah to tell everybody that it's not real yeah it didn't actually happen that way uh-huh game in collaboration with isa the european space agency wait so this is like funded by the government what the fuck that's weird all right let's go at the next one that's weird bro like what premiere next welcome to england mr david i know this must be a shock that's england never met your real father but he left you this hotel in his will it's been in your family for generations much like the caretaker he's a little eccentric uh-huh let me welcome you to the grand a hotel famous across the land

Starting point is 00:47:33 Is that true? They don't. Expect a thing. Just make sure the locals don't get wind if you're really up to. It's a higher oglipics. Because if they find out, they will wicker man your ass. Oh shit. You keep looking into things, and things are going to start looking back.
Starting point is 00:47:50 All right. Don't make the same mistake you father, mate. First half of this was kind of cringe, but this is actually kind of cool. The only one you can really trust is me. Yeah, this is all right. Good twist, yeah. I. That's crazy. I actually changed my mind in a trailer.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Yeah, never mind. This is actually kind of cool. Okay, UK cop. The ghosts at the grand? Yeah, it's all right. There are no ghosts. Oh, okay. Dude, this is the biggest advertisement for Game Pass I've ever seen. Xbox Game Studios presents. What is it now? As many gods in the world as there are stars in the heavens. And when we need their help, they send us a hero.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Who would have guessed? The defender of my homeland could be my daughter. She unlocked the heavenly spear. What is this some kind of Moulon shit? This is, uh, uh, this looks like it kind of sucks. This is like, uh, age of mythology. Wait, oh no, it actually is Asian mythology. I'm pretty sure it is.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Yeah, it is, so I thought. shit heavenly spear i always thought the game was okay but i really like age empire's way more personally like having all those like crazy hero units i think was like kind of weird to me like i played it right but like is not really a huge thing that's the best campaign you don't know shit yeah i mean maybe the campaign was good i i don't really remember it that well i mean i i played it whenever it came out the go un-go-go-go-go-government of sovereign nation make their decisions? Oh, it is real.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Easy answer. Easy answer. If you're going to your particular action can't make you can't other.
Starting point is 00:50:34 They sure ain't speaking in American. I'll like that. They're sure own own position. Yeah, it's Korean, because I got those circles and shit.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah, that's Korean. Yeah, that's Korean. I can't believe I can tell. I'm gonna play Empire Earth, yeah, yeah, dude. So what is this, oh, okay, okay. This looks pretty good.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yeah, this game's definitely from Korea. I've just got a feeling. This wants to be caught? I mean, I don't know. Yeah, this is cool. It's got the destructible environments. I feel like for like a while games have that then it went away now it's coming back battlefield yeah I remember really well with red faction too
Starting point is 00:52:08 Junete yeah this is cool Moudang okay what's actually called Moodang all right well I would play that yeah sure like that's what I feel like that's worth trying right it yeah is it's worth trying there's nothing crazy but it's all right what's this They come to our home. Oh, shit. Somebody's about to get colonized. No.
Starting point is 00:52:53 They took a... Oh, yeah. Mewituan need to a libemo and o'clock. On a otallima, D.F.M. I think this has a good vibe so far. It's decent. What are you guys saying?
Starting point is 00:53:33 While these side-scorer games, like... It's again one of those situations where it's like, I think some of this looks good. I just don't really know when I'd find the time or the energy to play it. It's kind of the way I feel in general. Not the best combat, huh? This is a secret weapon. Demon cat. It's a puzzle game?
Starting point is 00:54:23 Yeah, it's just not really. I mean, again, like, I mean, I'm just not really the kind of a gamer. It's a nice idea, but like, that's it. Planet of DEI. I don't know if it's really DEI. Like, I don't think it's DEI. First one's incredible. I played it two times. Maybe, I mean, shit.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I mean, there's a lot of games. I just don't even have time to play. Look, I play games all the time. I still don't have time to play games. Fall at 76. Are they still making new content for this game? I guess maybe they are. Well, hello there. Hi. Beautiful day to relax by the old fishing hole, wouldn't you say?
Starting point is 00:55:06 When it comes to fishing, Appalachia is a land or a swim with opportunity. Yes, you'll find fish of all. flavors in every walk of waterway from its mightiest of rivers to its humblest of ponds. Just step up to the bank, cast your line, and when your bobber starts bobbing, reel in the Reel in the room. What do you get on there, Jed? Worms. And how are they biting today? See for yourself. Oh.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Bagging the big fish starts to find the right tools for the job. There are as many unique combinations of rods, reels, barbers, and baits as there are fish in the sea. And when you've caught your fill, pop over to the local tackle shop to swap fish tails. Hmm. Can you smell that? No matter what troubles plague the future wastelands of Appalachia, you can always find comfort and cozy little joys like this. You just got to know what. So is way of one.
Starting point is 00:56:12 That's it. Vault life is your ticket to easy living. Design and build your own little slice of paradise. A place to show off all the bits and bobs you collect in your troughs. Got a green thumb? Plant your own peaceful vegetable garden. And nothing warms the heart like a neighborhood cookout. Ah, community makes a wasteland, a waste home.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Show us off to zero-fronts. And tomorrow you'll be kicking back and sharing a meal with friends and beautiful... I can't see how this would like get more people to come back and play the game, but I never played it in the first place, so... I don't know. Oh, gone fission? Oh, that's clever.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Hey, I don't know. Okay, all right, we got a new game. Let's see it. Anime game. Soa, wait, what? Solo leveling. What? What?
Starting point is 00:57:22 Oh, this? This is kind of cool. So it's actually an action combat game. It's a gotcha game? Wait, are you telling me there's an anime game that's gotcha? No way. Are you sure? It's been released for a while.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Yeah, but I've never seen gameplay of it at all. This is the first time actually if you've seen gameplay. I assumed it was like a turn-based game. Yeah, this is kind of cool. Doesn't make sense, only the main character can level up. Uh, yeah, I... That's... Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:58:30 I mean, I don't want it to say, yeah, true. World premiere. Hawfrent Studio. Huh. Guys, I have a feeling I might not be the target audience for this game. Yeah, I've just got a feeling about this. You are? You think I am, actually? Man, maybe you're right.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Maybe this is my game. Wow. Play Infinity, Nicky. Honestly, I should have. Oh boy. I mean, the worst part of. I mean, the worst part about this is that it doesn't look that bad. Wait, it's actually Power.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Does action, like, what the fuck? Looks better than Pokemon? Every Pokemon game looks better than Pokemon. I don't know how this happened either. Animo. Well, 2026, Nintendo's got a whole year to kill this game. Yeah, that's not happening. Hey, what's up, everyone?
Starting point is 01:00:17 It's Tony Hawk's show's theater. I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the, love and support we've seen since we announced Tony Hawk's Pro Skater three and four a few months ago. These games have changed my life, but more than that, I've seen them help spread a love and appreciation for skating all over the world, and that means everything to me and the team. I can't wait for you all to experience the game. It's been re-built with so much care and attention to detail. I've never played a Tony Hawk game.
Starting point is 01:00:42 New music, new skaters, and more, and you can enjoy it all with your friends with up to eight players and multiplayer. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 officially drops July 11th, and we have a lot more surprises to come. Check out the launch trailer. Never. Never. I just, I went out, am I weird for saying I would just go out and skateboard myself? Yeah, like, I would just go down to the park and skateboard.
Starting point is 01:01:06 I never really played the games. Did both. Yeah, I had friends that did both too. I mean, I would say like this is pretty much what you'd expect though, right? Are still hella sick. Nice. You were a wowhead? No, this is before wow. Yeah, I mean, I feel like this was...
Starting point is 01:01:43 Fuck, I'm trying to think like 2004? Something like that? Yeah, like this is like before I... I didn't play Wow until 2006. Wait, I didn't even know this song was from Tony Hawk. I have this on my playlist. Yeah, I didn't even know that. Did you wear vans? I wore vans every day in high school.
Starting point is 01:02:15 every day in high school. I did. And then most of the time while I was in college too. Yep. I had to get rid of them recently because they were molding. Ooh, is this a Doom game? Wait. This is so...
Starting point is 01:02:35 Are you telling me that you would do that? Oh my god. Or hair what? Yeah, the same vans? No, no, I got two different kinds. World premiere. What is it? Is it a good one? When the crater's a split farmer.
Starting point is 01:03:18 I don't know about this. Actually, I do know about this. I know I'm not going to play it. Yeah. Yeah, this is not. Oh, there's cards too? The two of swords? Oh, of course.
Starting point is 01:03:43 This is a girl game. It's got tarot cards in it. It's crazy how many girls like that shit. Uri Souls? Guys, I think that's their sister. What's wrong with you? Better? Shut.
Starting point is 01:04:19 How do you know? because it said it. It's, is it the first thing it's said in the game. That's cool. That end part of it is cool. You play confident and in lately. You cannot judge us. I did.
Starting point is 01:04:49 I did play that game. It was a great game. I love that game. Is this, oh shit. Oh shit. Oh, this is just a remake. Okay, I was about to say. When does it come out?
Starting point is 01:05:11 I'll play a remake for this. Yeah, fuck it, I don't care Dude, the Gears won and the Gears 2 Uh Fucking Campaigns went so fucking hard Man, one to three I never did three
Starting point is 01:05:37 I was I was really in on one I played two a bit And then I didn't really play three That's never I went in the wow Reloaded visuals Dude After Oblivish This is all they're gonna do.
Starting point is 01:05:59 They're just gonna remake the same old games. And you know the worst part about it? Because I'm gonna buy them. Let's do this. Yeah. I don't care. The gory days, yeah. This is gonna be awesome.

Yeah, just remake the same game. Fabal. Yeah, remake Fable 1. What's this? This looks like the Zinless Zone Zero. This looks like a... What? That's the Zendlis Zone Zero got the screen. What? Oh, they're making a new Persona
Starting point is 01:07:23 remake. Damn, okay. Wow, I didn't know that. Persona 4. Is it Fur Sona? Is it really? They lost chapters? That was the expansion. The smugglers league is always there. ZZ stole personas's idea? Yeah, apparently they did. Because like that's one for one, isn't it? I mean, not one for almost, right? And the only way...
Starting point is 01:07:54 What is the sea of thieves? Is if that's what we want. Thanks for the guns. Rare, 40 years, wow. As smugglers, we dealing the goods, others are afraid to hand. Guns, explosives... And don't forget the rum. It's a life of danger like no other.
Starting point is 01:08:13 So I guess my question is, can you handle that? What? What? Getting your hands all gold is one thing, but you should know that this is what we're really after. The bigger the room, the better. Discover explosive new wound. I played C-A-Fueless.
Starting point is 01:08:35 I played C-A-F. speeds for about 20 minutes. I almost started playing it because I would watch something playing it. I'd watch something. Bark on smuggling voyage as well. It's a great game, yeah. You need friends? That's a big problem for me, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:08:58 You are pirates after all. Welcome, my friends to the smugglers league. It's not that I don't have friends. It's just, I don't want to, that's where you left alone. You're paying for that Oh You just want to sit in my room by myself
Starting point is 01:09:23 Emo? Yeah Just how it is Another world Did they really just say that On the Xbox game show? Okay This is ridiculous
Starting point is 01:09:44 There must be protesters in the road Oh The fuck? Oh it's invincible Had enough yet? No, dad Not even close I heard this show was really good
Starting point is 01:10:15 I never actually watched the whole thing though It's great yeah I've only heard good things about him I hoped you'd understand why I had to do this Except our rule Or die Oh I'd like to propose a third option It's a flash
Starting point is 01:10:59 I'm not your son anymore I'm the guy who's going to throw you off this planet For good I'm I mean it makes sense that you would make a game like this man it does wait it's a fighting game oh shit yeah i never really played any fighting games man 3 v3 tag fighting what the hell is it three players on each team oh i am ending you i see it all that's brutal that's kind of cool probably just quick quicks between chosen characters
Starting point is 01:12:15 sparking zero kind of yeah i always thought that was a good idea the weight is almost over for what square enix final fantasy seven so it's going on uh on game pass or like xbox it's actually kind of crazy like i pause just for a second it's kind of crazy like this has happened right because like i mean you know growing up like every final fantasy game was on playstation every you know like fucking gears game was on or halo game was on xbox like i think this is actually so great that they're finally like you know breaking down those barriers yeah i think this is awesome because it it's five fantasy 15 was on xbox i don't remember but like yeah exclusivity sucks it does i'm here to even the odds any objections i never played the dLC for this game
Starting point is 01:13:27 this game was insane i actually think that like final fantasy 17 is going to be fucking insane. Like this game was good but like I think what they learned from this, five past 17 is be fucking ridiculous. This game was great, yeah I thought it was. It was insanely fucking cinematic. Like the Bahamette fight? Man, because I actually thought like the peak content was gonna be uh, what do you call it? Uh, it was gonna be like a titan and no, no, was not world premiere i think this might be where i started i'm gonna double check really good showcase so far i'll watch the ones that i miss at the end of it okay uh-huh it's like a bird or some shit uh-oh oh what the hell oh shit wait is that you do wait that's you wait that's you
Starting point is 01:15:02 But are you the bird or the the thing? How's this work? How this supposed to be? Okay. Is it a lighthouse? Oh yeah, of course it's a lighthouse. What am I thinking? Of course it is.
Starting point is 01:15:28 This is cool. I feel like this is not really a game I would ever play, but like it's a cool idea. Yeah, it looks nice. It's unique. I'll tell you that. I've never seen a game like this before. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:59 Keeper. Okay. Oh, it's a White House keeper. That makes sense. So this is just like, this is just like an ad for GamePass. So has it just been a one-hour ad for Game Pass? Is that right?
Starting point is 01:16:12 Games like Psychonauts too show now Double Fine excels at creating unique and innovative experiences. That's impressive. And Keeper is no exception. Looking ahead, next year marks 25 years of Xbox. It's a big milestone for the platform in France. that you helped build and make popular. We couldn't have done this without everyone
Starting point is 01:16:34 who's been with us on this journey. As we think about bringing a new generation of players to these iconic franchises, I'm excited to share that players will get to celebrate 25 years of Xbox with a new fable, the next Forza, Gears of War E-Day, and the return of a classic
Starting point is 01:16:53 that's been with us since the beginning. Hey-wo, halo. Today, you've seen an incredible range incredible range of games from creators across the globe. Creators like In Exile, reaching for new heights with Clockwork Revolution. Okay. Slug or Fly making Team Meets modern classic platformer into 3D. Oh.
Starting point is 01:17:14 Square Enix, Bringing more of the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy franchise to our players. And Team Ninja returning to the beloved series they debuted on Xbox. Big Dick. I cannot wait to point out. next Xbox hardware release, our Xbox Ally handheld. Wait. Which lets you bring your Xbox experience and your library with you anywhere.
Starting point is 01:17:39 I hope you enjoyed the breadth and depth of the games, updates, and experiences that are coming to Xbox from our partners and our own creative teams. We're seeing more players on our platform and in our games than ever. Wow. Thanks to all of you. We're proud of the creative. creativity that Obsidian is delivering this year. What about last year? Immediately after Showcase, our direct begins,
Starting point is 01:18:04 where you'll go inside the studio for an extended look at the Outer Worlds 2 and Grounded 2. Mm-hmm. Thanks for joining us today. But before we get into the direct, we have a final world premiere. Fucking Halo. Enjoy. Do Halo.
Starting point is 01:18:20 Come on. Come on. World premiere. Doesn't that sound like Ethan from H-2-H3? To me it does. Welcome to the guild. What? We have been expecting you.
Starting point is 01:18:43 Please, follow me. What the hell is this? I don't think it's Halo. I'll tell you that. You already know us as a global tech leader. Starfield 2? Yes.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Our software. Our systems combined with our skilled team is designed to save lives. Okay. Your years of service have shown you the importance of our work here you'll witness the global scope of that mission in action let me introduce you to our esteemed vision who is it for too long we have been bound by outdated systems accepting
Starting point is 01:19:29 limitations instead of redefining them yeah the guild is safeguarding tomorrow now wait that's in my Boston dynamics future of protection worldwide Our advancements are designed to elevate everyday life Future of technology on a global scale What is this the matrix or something? Ooh, this is cool What the fuck? What? It's a powerful thing
Starting point is 01:20:57 What is this, bro? This is cool, but like Oh, it's Call of Duty Wait, what the fuck? Oh, I'm gonna be real I did not expect that shit to be Call of Duty I thought that was gonna be something totally, totally different Okay, so now we've seen the whole showcase
Starting point is 01:21:48 So obviously the Xbox showcase was fucking amazing Like it was really, really, really good I think Summer Games Fest out of all of them so far has been the best one Like I do think like the Xbox showcase was very good, it was a great showcase but I would say for you know like all games put together everything in general I would say uh you know summer games fest uh X and that's so far I don't know is there going to be another is there
Starting point is 01:22:13 another games showcase that's happening like tomorrow or something that I just don't know about because like I feel like there's been four and three days is there another one oh yeah I don't even know steam next fest yeah I don't know it's not finished yet steam next fast yeah ex parte yeah Xbox PC games showcase today? No, we watched that already. Yeah, probably right now. Yeah, there you go. And would you buy an Xbox or a PS5? Well, I would buy a PS5 because I already have a PC and I can play every Xbox game on PC. So, like, that would logically be the best option for me. But like in that, in that instance, like Xbox is still effectively making money, right? So that's generally where I'm at. And so, yeah, there it is. And Devolver Digital. Yeah, but usually
Starting point is 01:22:55 that's a pretty short show, right? That's like a 40-minute show, something like that. So, Yeah, Steam Next Fest tomorrow. Well, I guess we'll watch that then. But yeah, this showcase is really good. I feel like overall, all of the showcases were pretty decent. But, you know, some of the PC games show, like, you know, again, they had some of the skits that kind of, you know, kind of dragged on a bit. But otherwise, they, I think they did really well. Will E3 ever come back?
Starting point is 01:23:17 Summer Games Fest is E3? Like, it is. Like, that's basically what it is. Now, it's not E3. It doesn't have the same name, but it fulfills basically the same function, right? And I think that now, like, every, like, every new event, like a lot of publishers, think about it like if you're a publisher. Do you want to announce your biggest titles and your biggest things at an event that's going to also advertise other competing products? Or do you want to make your own event and then do it yourself and then just release it and not have to advertise competing products, right?
Starting point is 01:23:50 Like, it seems like it's a pretty obvious decision and that's the reason why all of these companies are doing the exact same thing. so I'm not really surprised by this at all, but yeah, that's pretty much where we're at now. And, yeah, E3 also costs us money. Yeah, no competition. Yeah, yeah. And also, it's just so easy to do it because like back in the day,
Starting point is 01:24:07 like producing an event and doing all that, syndicating it, putting it on TV and everything, that's a lot of work. And so now you don't have to do that and you have way more people doing it as well, gamescom as well. Yeah, you have gamescom too. I think gamescom is in like a month or something, right?
Starting point is 01:24:23 So it's going to be pretty soon also. was an actual expo though as opposed to summer games fest is just a show well i think expos in general are just not as exciting and like not as popular as they used to be like um you know it's kind of like things change right for different reasons and i think also another big reason why it changed is because of covid i think covid really kind of uh covid really shifted things a whole lot and i don't think we're going to really ever go back entirely to that
