Starting point is 00:00:51 Of course, I'm your host, Tim Gettys. I'm joined today by blessing at a Yo-Yea Jr. Good day, Tim. Snowbike Mike. What up, Tim. Greg Miller. Hi, Tim. And Andy Cortez.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Hi. We just watched two state of plays back to back. And now we're going to talk about every single thing that we saw in them, what we didn't like what we thought of the presentations overall, all of that. What we hoped would be there but wasn't there. Everything in between. Please super chat in to let us know what you thought
Starting point is 00:01:16 of the two shows. What were your highlights I need to know? Before we begin, though, I do want to give a shout to our producers on Patreon. So shout it to Omega Buster, Delini the Somm twining, and Michael Pessavento. But for now, let's begin with the topic of the show.
Starting point is 00:01:34 PlayStation State of Play. Back to back. Bless, what did you think? I thought overall it was okay to mediocre. You know, if I'm taking just the first traditional state of play, I thought that was okay. I thought the state of play Japan was like kind of boring, but I also feel like that's very specifically for that audience.
Starting point is 00:01:56 I feel like that's something that they happen to go, all right, let's just show this to the West also in conjunction with the traditional one. I think with that, I don't judge it too harshly because I have the, well, I feel most people have the opposite. to tune out if they want to of that one. But overall, I had an okay time. I think we got a few trailers here that did excite me until Dawn 2 had a fantastic trailer.
Starting point is 00:02:14 They got me even more excited about that game. I love that we got a January 28th release date for it as well. Really looking forward to that. Uncanyan as a new indie title here from the makers of McKett. I thought look really neat, really appeals to my interest. Keeper coming to PlayStation as well, I think is a really cool one. That's a game that everybody should try out. Everybody should check out.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I forget if they said it's out today, which is awesome. I don't know if they said anything about PlayStation Plus for that one, but I think they did not. They did not. I think that's a missed opportunity. I feel like that's the only you want to get out into as many people's hands as possible,
Starting point is 00:02:41 but I also understand that double fine needs money right now. And so them selling it, I think, is also, that makes a lot of sense for them to do that. Crimson's Desert getting an update cool for that audience
Starting point is 00:02:50 and then also Ghost of Yote getting a big update here. Really cool. I thought the way they positioned Soros was really weird. Awkward. Awkward, right? That's a game that should have
Starting point is 00:02:59 gotten its own section. That's a game that if you're adding in meaningful content here, give it its own trailer, give it its own hype, them kind of shoving it into more of a real, real situation. I thought was weird. But overall, I had a fine time.
Starting point is 00:03:12 If I'm going to give it a score, I'd probably say, I'll say six out of ten. Mike, I echo a lot of blessing on the fine, good time, right? Like, I think that first hour that we watched actually had a lot going on there, especially big shout to Crimson Desert. That's been absolutely killing it all year long and then hitting you with a massive looking expansion, right? This is a game that already is doing it all. then what you see, what's coming this year, you go, wow, that is so much. That is a game that just doesn't stop.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And so I think that was a big one. Of course, Monster Hunter Worlds, right? We've been waiting for this DLC announcement. That showed very well excited for that one. You got kind of the lineup for the end of the year, Tim. I know you're always looking at the roadmap of like, hey, what are the games that we're going to get to the end of the year? What's going to start next year?
Starting point is 00:03:59 And I think when you look at PlayStation, you watch that right there, you know what you're getting, right? We're going to go into Wolverine. We're looking at some nice. partnership updates, and then we know what we're going to get in spring, especially with Final Fantasy right around the corner. It was a pretty solid telling of what I can expect on my PlayStation and what games to look forward to.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I think it was fine, as Blessing said, it was just good. It was all right. I just realized something. I had to jump in. Where was Cana Scars of Cosmora? Oh. Where was that? That team's working, man.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Let them work. Let him go. He said it's coming out this year. Let them work. This was probably the final. What's going on? That actually might. bring my score down to like a 5.5. That's crazy
Starting point is 00:04:37 that the wasn't here. I mean, you expected to see it here? Yes. With certainty. Yes. Really? They said it's coming 2027. Yeah. It was announced at the beginning of... Oh, sorry, 26. 26. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They said it was coming out this year. Yeah. And that was announced at the beginning of this year. Yeah. Even if it's coming out next year, you have to come out and just give us a
Starting point is 00:04:54 year. You come out and say it's delayed. You come out and say it's delayed. That's crazy that that that wasn't here. I'm glad that you guys ride for that game so hard. That's great, man. I'm on the side of like, just let them do their thing. Let them work with that. I got no rush for that game. I'm more of the mind on it. I'm just like, I don't want to be over candid.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Like, I don't want them to like talk about it too much. Like, clearly, this game's not close. Well, yeah. Clearly,
Starting point is 00:05:15 my fantasy critic is fucking ruined. But they've only talked about it once. It's not like we've seen in a million times. I know, but I think these days, especially with like how many games come out and how many showcases there are. Like that goes from like, oh,
Starting point is 00:05:25 we haven't seen it in a year to, oh, we've now seen it six freaking times. Yeah. I feel like, I just feel like an update to be like, here's a new trailer, 2027. I can't believe they said 2026 to begin with 2027. Why would they do that? Why would they do that? We know what happened with Kna 1? Why? Greg, what did you think of this? I think I'm more up on it than so far on the panel. Not by, I mean, a landslide. Again, I am really in terms of scoring, only scoring the first one. I mean, you know, the second one, a state of play in Japan in Japanese. I think it's targeting a different audience. And so we'll talk about those games, obviously. But from what we got today, I think this is a 7-5. I think this is good. I had a great time, of course, be with y'all and having a,
Starting point is 00:06:02 out here. But to look back through this, I think opening with Resident Evil, super strong, diving into all these updates coming to Ghost of Yote. Yes, please. Ascendance for Monster Hunter. Hell yeah. Man-eater two. Crimson Desert getting all the stuff. A Lego PlayStation. Final Fantasy residents like the Hunter's Moon debuting and getting time, right? These three Indies, Uncanyin debuting, getting time. Hell yeah. Keeper, exciting. Sure. And then, yeah, the SARS thing being shoved in is awkward as hell or whatever. But until dawn looked great. I have breaking news from the blog. We've partnered with our friends at Ad Hocs Studio, the brilliant minds behind the acclaimed dispatch so you can expect a deeply
Starting point is 00:06:37 layered story packed with a rich characters. Adhawks is one making the story for Un-Hulling How. Insane. GTA-5 controllers and then a giant dump of Final Fantasy at the end. I think this is good, maybe even almost great, but I think the greatness probably comes from clowning around with you guys or whatever. But mainly, I hate when these things feel like a waste of time. And this didn't feel like a waste of time.
Starting point is 00:06:58 There were a bunch of games that spoke to me and a bunch of updates that spoke to me. Andy um yeah i mean i i i enjoyed my time like i do most of these things but i like i wasn't stunned or blown away by much um i think the gunham rogue or orbit is really interesting looking and saros getting freaking gyro controls is just like so exciting to me including a boss rushers i think is awesome and whatever else mode that is going to be
Starting point is 00:07:27 included in that um having a roguelight mode I think is really neat for Ghost of Yote and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation got me pretty pumped up and of course Final Fantasy Residence also like looked exciting and I'm stoked for that.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I'd probably give it like a I'd probably give it like a six out of ten. I think like the known quantities that we've that we're seeing in this list here not the most exciting stuff but I think Crimson Desert like Mike mentioned and continuing to just pump out more and more content
Starting point is 00:08:02 is pretty massive for that audience. It's a really, really big game. Tim, what did you think? Yeah, I mean, I started enough. I'd probably say I'm in a 6-5 on this where I do think it's okay, but on the good side of okay, where this to me feels like
Starting point is 00:08:16 if we got state of plays every single month, it'd be like, yeah, this is what this is. I feel like it's only disappointing because we don't get them that often. So expectations can be high. We're looking for surprises. We're looking for some bigger news. did get some big stuff out of this. Like obviously I'm hyped as hell. We finally have a
Starting point is 00:08:32 Final Fantasy release date. We know when that's coming. We're working towards that now. The focus on the indie games, they looked really cool. I think that in terms of pacing, like, I enjoyed my time watching it. Like I was never like, this is a waste of time. I don't think it was the best time. I, you know, we always talk about the state of plays of when they're so close to a new release of like, oh, are they going to show this game? Are they going to talk about it again? You know, Wolverine is imminent. So this is just a, this one felt, I know they're all just marketing things, but this just really felt like, hey, here's our marketing for where we're at right now.
Starting point is 00:09:02 It's a housekeeping. It's just catch up. It's just updates on things we kind of already know. Demo coming out today for Resident Evil or sorry, for Final Fantasy Residents. There's a lot of good stuff here. It's just not really like that exciting. I feel like, you know, there was a surprise of Mad Eater 2. Like that's for 14 million people apparently.
Starting point is 00:09:21 14 million people. But yeah, some cool stuff. But I just feel like overall, it's like this is, we're never going to talk about this. state of play as like being special ever right that's okay um yeah always a bummer to not get bigger things if the lego playstation didn't leak i think that would have been cooler and more side i missed it i didn't know i didn't know that was happening no um and then i thought that was like such an emphasis on in addition to having that second state of play to rhapsody in secret in scarlet and that was just like probably maybe the most disappointing one of the whole show i thought in what way like well we
Starting point is 00:09:57 I mean, we saw it once and then we saw it again. And it's like, there was just a lot of like, we are proud of this. And I was like, it just was really underwhelming. I thought. I thought absolutely cool. Am I ever going to actually play it? No. But like, I thought like that one was a semi-high to me.
Starting point is 00:10:12 I didn't like the way they presented it though. Like I do think especially this being two back-to-back showcases and even them kind of being like for more. It's here. And then there's a Konami showcase. It's like y'all are doing way too much with this. But it feels the, it feels like it was, it's already getting the treatment that PlayStation has been giving.
Starting point is 00:10:27 to like Phantom Blade Zero, but it's like, well, that game looks like that and this game looks like this. And I don't know. I was just kind of like, I was bummed out that I wasn't excited by it more because of what it was presenting in this 1920s. Like, you know, everybody's playing jazz and all the stuff. I was like, oh, but that's what the game is.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I don't know. It just, it felt disconnected to me. Ratchin Klan coming from the classic series. I love that. I love to keep supporting that, bringing back the old games, especially for the OG, ration clank which i'm such a huge fan of and until dawn too i thought this was a much better showing
Starting point is 00:11:01 than we saw last time and uh hearing ad hoc it's like oh wow we got something cool and to mike's point like we got a real nice look at what pretty much now till april looks like for playstation and i'm excited there's like a title a month or so that i'm like okay cool i'm gonna be putting work in on my playstation um and yeah funnel fantasy seven looks awesome i i i feel that uh the the hype going into it for like the trailers and gameplay and all this stuff, it's like, I don't need anything. I just want to just like, I'm good. I just want to play the game, I know.
Starting point is 00:11:33 And I remember after seeing all the trailers and stuff for rebirth, I kind of felt the same way where I was just like, I could not be more excited, but I'm also not really feeling the excitement, if that makes sense. Okay. It's kind of like, I know I'm going to love this. I know what I'm expecting, but I don't need to see anything
Starting point is 00:11:52 because anything I want to see is major spoilers. and major reveals the revelations of it all, you know? It's how I felt going into Spider-Man brand new day, Tim. When I lied to Tim, I felt bad about lying to him. What did you say? I have the movie theater who's just like, excited about this? I was like, I just kind of wasn't super stoked.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And then I watched the movie. And I heard you lie. I was like, wow, you need he's really excited. I knew Tim was, but maybe I'm wrong. I remember seeing the early gameplay trailers and reveals and exactly what they are doing here for Revelation for Rebirth. and kind of just being like, I don't know if it's going to live up to remake for me. Like, I'm a little concerned.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And then the game came out and I ended up liking it a lot more even than remake. So I think that'll happen here as well. But, yeah, they're showing a lot of cool stuff. It looks amazing, dude. It does. It looks so damn impressive. There's a lot I want to say that I'm not going to for not spoiling the experience for y'all. But it's very cool to see what they are showing what they're not showing in this trailer.
Starting point is 00:12:49 I think that's the thing for me. I'm like, okay, there's some characters we're not looking at here. And I like that they're not showing those characters. You can dive deeper if you want into what I'm saying or avoid it. But yeah, that's that. Oh, yeah. I'll forget if you told me anyone. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I'll get to that point. Be like, wow, it's amazing. One that stood out to me was Gundam Rogue orbit. The more we see of this game, the more I'm like, I really want to play this. And I think that's just the armored core person in me who loved six, who wants more of that and is tired of waiting for From Software, knowing that they're probably years away from ever putting another armored corps. Yeah. That looked really cool. the customization and stuff looks awesome.
Starting point is 00:13:25 And then you called it up, but like the melee stuff that we're seeing, it seems a bit more action-y, like in-your-face action-y, than just like how armored core is mainly projectile-based. Yeah. I really like that's why I felt- But I do feel like a lot of the MEC games kind of lean a bit more into like a... Realistic or not really? Like, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:43 There's just like... Authenticity. So like what it would be like with the MEC. This is just like, you might as well be Dante, but you're in a fucking gun. Yeah. Yeah. I think the first time they showed it off was when I was surprised that it was a Gundam game
Starting point is 00:13:58 because the characters you were playing, everybody just kind of looked like a dark gray gun metal color and like a lot of the characters kind of a lot of the mix kind of looked like that and then when Gundam was it, I was like, oh, I didn't even know these were actual Gundams. Like I'm not seeing any of the branding that I'm kind of expecting or any of those little visual ties, visual cues where it's like, oh yeah, there's that headpiece part or whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:21 But then once we get to hear, and we see all the customization, we see all of the, you see the, the RX-78, it's like, okay, yeah, there, there's definitely a lot more Gundam vibes here than just it being kind of a random meck game that looked at, it kind of looked at first, like they just threw the Gundame name on it. This feels like a lot more Gundam, like, I don't know about, these bad guys may not, I don't, you know, I'm not, I'm used to just like military shit, Mike, where it's, gun, yeah, I'm, I'm that, uh, iron-blooded orphans or, yeah, so like, that's my Gundam to me, but it does look great. Bless, I totally agree with you, right? It's that
Starting point is 00:14:55 armored core hype that I want another one of these experiences. And me and Andy have jumped into a couple of the MEC PVP games, right? And it's like, hey, I just want a cool story that makes me feel like a badass in the mech. And yeah, if you can tie that into the Gundam universe somehow in a cool, compelling story that I'm in. Yeah, that's my big hope is that this does have a story that engages us because this gameplay looks good. For me, my Gundam thing that I, that I liked was Gundam, the witch from Mercury, which is a more recent one within the last few years. And watching that, the story is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:15:28 And I open my eyes up to, oh, shit. All right, this Gundam shit is off the chain. So if we can get a similar level of intrigue here, like some really cool shit about, I don't know, man, space military type shit, then I'll be in. Let's go through everything we saw game by game or movie. Starting off with Resident Evil, a bit of a weird one. I loved it. Like, I'm happy seeing this here. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:52 But I'm a little confused at why. Is Sony pictures the distributor of this? Because, I mean, it's a Capcom thing. You know, it's a Capcom thing, right? They wanted a cool thing to start off with. Yeah, I don't know. Just a little weird. But, I mean, man, this looks awesome.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And actually seeing the scene play out not cut up in trailer form gives me even more hope for this movie. The first trailer didn't fully sell me on this vision. The second one totally did. And this even more. I think this is going to be an awesome movie. Distributed by Sony Pictures. production companies has PlayStation productions along with several other on here as well. So yeah, I guess it is.
Starting point is 00:16:25 There is a little bit of a Sony connection place. Interesting. But yeah, this looks freaking awesome. And I love how much the cinematography looks like a Resident Evil game. Like that's so cool. And this even seems like a set piece action thing for Resident Evil. So, yeah, man, I think it's going to be awesome. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:16:43 My hype has only continued to grow seeing this time after time and knowing that we are, what, two weeks away from release. This is like a... Really? Oh, yeah, I think it's September 18th. This is a... Can't wait to get my butt in the movie theater and go to this, right?
Starting point is 00:16:57 Especially, I know we started watching the Resident Evil movies back in the day, and those are some of my favorite video game on the big screen movies where I'm like, wow, I can't believe we're doing this. This is so cool. But there's a tone and a difference to this one where I'm like, I think he's gonna nail this.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And I'm so pumped up and excited. Everything's upset about it just gets me more and more excited as I see it. Like they were talking about how, you'll know how many bullets he has at all times. As an audience member. And I'm like, that's so sick. Like, good for them.
Starting point is 00:17:25 It's going to be a guy in every theater just yelling. He's got nine. Bang. Eight. Moving on. We got one last look at Wolverine coming. One last. September 15th, 2020.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Classic thing of didn't need this. Like, I understand. It's got to promote you got anything. But it's a classic thing of, you know, we've already said, or of course, one week from today, we are reviewing this game on Gamescast. So to be watching this trailer and see all these Sentinels,
Starting point is 00:17:52 I was like, huh, didn't need to see this, didn't need to know this. Yeah, I mean, it's, I think this is the strongest single trailer they've had so far. I feel like this is the type of thing that just gets the normal people. Oh, wow, this is cool. And then I think it was a well-edded trailer,
Starting point is 00:18:07 and I think there was a lot of cool stuff going on. I love the shot of the Sentinel shooting the lasers out as they run away. So I'm like, cool. This is definitely coming. I think obviously they needed to show this in the state of the time. Of course.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Yeah, totally, totally, totally. And this is it plan. Lobs it. It's shirtless Logan. Yeah, I mean, this was the right marketing beat. It looked great. I agree with Tim. This is the best trailer I've seen of Wolverine yet to get me excited for this game.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And yeah, it has to be here because it's in a couple of weeks. And we got Goseyote complete edition. Most Wanted an all new single player combat survival mode. Complete runs to earn new characters. Gin's back, baby. Andrew Goldfarb over on the PlayStation Blogs. I understand you. on a rogue like
Starting point is 00:18:49 you'll choose from four playable characters and accept bounties with escalating difficulty as you complete runs you'll earn perks and upgrades to build out your character become more powerful as you go bless dude I want so badly to get so into this
Starting point is 00:19:02 because you rewind back to earlier in the year Ghost of Yota Legends came out I started playing it and then didn't really stick with it and me and you talked about how we didn't do the raid and I've been talking about the Ghost of Sushima legend's raid for years about how good it is and so them
Starting point is 00:19:16 I'm coming out with even more content. One is very impressive to see how much they're putting into this game post launch. But also I'm like, oh, really, October. We got to do this in October. I don't, I don't have time. It's the same marathon thing as the first raid. Or just Legends, you know, when Legends DLC came out, it was I think the same day or the same weekend as marathon and just bad timing.
Starting point is 00:19:40 There's no good timing anymore. Like I told myself like, hey, this week I'm playing Witcher 3, the remaster. and Greg. Which are cast all October, get locked in? And so, like, will I be able to make time for this? I hope so. I really want to. I think it looks cool.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I think it's a great idea. I think, you know, we've seen Godvor Valhalla and how good that rogulight was. And then also we saw the last of us part two, I think had the remaster with the roguelight in it, which wasn't as great as Vahala, but I like that we're doing swings like this. I think this is a good swing here. And also bringing back Jin Sakai is a playable character for a kind of mode like this is really cool.
Starting point is 00:20:11 And starting Mars, we got Eldon Spring. You're ready, guys. Everybody. Eldon Spring. Eldon rings days. We're doing Eldon Spring for all of Spring. See, what people wanted was Tarnished Tuesdays. Let everybody get on board.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Come on. All of us. What was your idea for Eldon Spring? Everybody plays it. It's not like a release. There's not a reason. I mean, you know, we're just playing it. But that was it for Goseota. We got echoes of Andy.
Starting point is 00:20:39 There we go. Sekigahara. Nailed it. It split between two periods of Atzu's life for time in the mainland in the massive battle of Sakikahara and the present day. This is a narrative expansion. I'm very much, I want to play this. I doubt I will get to it at launch.
Starting point is 00:20:55 It'll be something I get to later. If memory serves, Ishi might have been the same. No, I think I was always going to come back to Ishi to do the, Iki, thank you. Erica Ishi. That's my problem. I was going to go back to Platman, never did.
Starting point is 00:21:06 But yeah, this is one I will want to do, Tim. I don't know when I will get to it. I'm on the same boat, yeah. It's something I'm fascinated in. I really enjoyed Ghost of Yote It was number 11 If you remember
Starting point is 00:21:18 My top 15 through 11 Games of 20, 25 Yeah Big deal I love that game I want to experience More of that world But yeah
Starting point is 00:21:29 Life man How much stuff happening Life dude Control Resonant Freaking Elden Spring You know Like a few days later
Starting point is 00:21:39 We're getting Star Wars Galactic Racer Oh shit And there's also Another October 6th game That I can't think I want to start zero company.
Starting point is 00:21:46 What the flying game? Ace Combat. Oh, yeah. Wow. Which I want to play. That game looks really awesome. You didn't expect it. Because flying, I thought, a person.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Yeah, I would have been the jet game, maybe. Then we had Monster Hunter Wilds ascendance. It's a massive expansion coming in 2027. It evolves the hunting experience further with new monsters and new locale and a new story that goes beyond. Beyond. Beyond. Beyond. Beyond the base game.
Starting point is 00:22:13 It requires the base game to play. play, you need to have reached Hunter Rank 40 completed the quest, awaking from Oh, I've done it, don't worry about it. Free prologue demo available now on the PlayStation store. The demo allows you to create your hunter and palico, experience the opening moments of the story, and try out all 14
Starting point is 00:22:28 weapon types in the unique combat styles. Save data will be carried over. You'll love to see it. Greg, can't wait. Miles for Hunter Wilds. The game we really enjoyed and played a lot of on streams at launch and at review me, Joey, and Mike. And then I continued on for a while coming back for some of the events, getting some of the special things,
Starting point is 00:22:44 the special gear, but it didn't do the world's thing, which really took over, no pun intended, the world, right, where everybody was playing that Monster Hunter. So I'm excited for a new reason to go back, some new content to jump into. Really enjoyed my time with it. You know, I know, obviously at launch, one of the big complaints was that it was too easy. They definitely tweaked that over the many, many, many monsters they added in multiple star missions and yeah, da-da-tada-da-da. I had a great time.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I'm excited for more. Ben? Anyone else had Monster Runner on the money? I mean, yeah, of course, right? an expansion for Monster Hunter Wild is going to be a whole lot of fun. I'm super excited to play it. Greg knows I give him the one-time play-through.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I see all the cool monsters, and then I get out of there. So I'm not the grinding type, like the Palabros, our friends over there. Yeah, for me, I can't wait to see all the new monsters, see the new areas that we're going to explore. This rocks. This is a great game.

Starting point is 00:24:37 Let me just interrupt real quick. Like, we talked about a bit yesterday. It is so crazy with Nick gone just how much Coke Zero is still in the office. Yeah. It really makes you... I'm not having a fight for it. It makes you realize where it's all going. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:51 That box in there has been in there for a long time. And there's still so much more in there. And I reached my hand in there. I'm like, Bussy, there's still like 18 cans or something like that. It's crazy. It's amazing. Where is it going? It's going down its gully.
Starting point is 00:25:06 It's the only sign that Nick's the... gone. If I didn't notice that the Code Zero was still there, I wouldn't have known that Nick took this week. Lesery just had it. He went, wait a second. I was like, wait a second. God damn. Why's all the Coke Zero here?
Starting point is 00:25:24 That show 2039 coming on February 4th, 2027. It's the next landmark FPS from acclaimed storytellers 4A games journey into the dark heart of post-apocalyptic Moscow. But they said it, Moscow. Moscow. I know that.
Starting point is 00:25:39 All the time I'm learning these like, oh, it's Toronto, it's not Toronto, you know. Toronto. Melbourne, it's like, Edinburgh. Edinburgh. Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I'm getting educated here. Thank you, video games. In a harrowing conflict for the very soul of the Metro. If nobody else wants to jump on the Metro grenade when this comes out, I'll be the guy. You know what? I'll play it. Plus, I'm kind of right there with you. Like, if Tim and Greg were like, we need to talk to me in the office.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Somebody. And they were like, we need to. you to be on this metro shit. Two and five Canadians will hear the words you have cancer. That's why every step and dollar raised matters. On September 19th, join thousands in Toronto for the
Starting point is 00:26:22 Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation walk. Challenge yourself, friends, and family to walk 21 kilometers in support of life-saving research. Together, we can carry the fire and help create a world free from the fear of cancer. Register today at PMC Then the day before the review, you'd go, oh, fuck, I forgot about my friend.
Starting point is 00:26:45 You're probably right. He's probably right. It's like, I was supposed to play that? You're probably right. He was supposed to play that. You're probably right. It's crazy. You're going to think the other person's playing.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's crazy you'd be ablest like that and make fun of my disability. Oh, no. I'm trying to put it up. You'd do that. It looks good. It looks good. I think, to be clear, it looks good. Anyone on this table except for,
Starting point is 00:27:08 him, I think, if the grenade was tossed their way. Would jump? Because I look at it, it kind of give me fallout vibes. I know it's not fallout, but it gives me that, hey, it's not so much a first, I mean, it's got a great shooting, but it's not so much like I'm Twitch shooting. I'm trying to be competitive. It's not doom. I'm exploring. I'm doing something here. I'm not, I look
Starting point is 00:27:24 at it. I'm like, yeah, I could see a world. If reviews came out and said yeah, it's a shooter, it's fun. Like the, you know, like you would expect a shooter to be, but the narrative is otherworldly and just so damn good, then that would get me in. I wouldn't need this games narrative and storytelling to be phenomenal in order to go all right i'm down to drop
Starting point is 00:27:44 other stuff that may not be hitting for me story wise because i want to experience this story if it's going to like truly blow my mind but when does this come out i'll play it february never mind never mind fourth oh okay that's way further away than i thought i don't know why yeah that's uh i thought this is going to be like a november game oh you know what because we'll get the review code pro but until dawn too ah but that's like a weekend and then eliz than heaven is also January. This is a crazy first few months.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Because in January, you're getting exchanger than heaven and until dawn to February you're getting Metro 2039, Godvor, Lafay, persona 4 revival and Fable. And Tomb Raider, Legacy, Van Linus. Hold on, I'm sorry. There's a quick meeting needs to happen. Beg, I'll do it. I'll be the one.
Starting point is 00:28:23 He's jumping on the grid. They're busy. They're going to be doing a lot of things. I'll be the one to do. Sure, sure. I don't even say I was going to be busy. I think I'm out of these games. I'm definitely going to be going to be on
Starting point is 00:28:33 February. I'll talk about it. I'll let you know all about Metro. I'll be bathing. fable. I'll try. You know what I mean? Metro stalker dying light, atomic hearts,
Starting point is 00:28:43 right? Like all these games, I'm like, I try my best in, I jump in, I go, man, this looks good, shooting feels good, I'm having a good time. And it's like, this game is 20 plus hours. And I'm like, I don't have a lot of time to give to this. And so I leave it behind. But he'll hop in.
Starting point is 00:28:59 That's how it goes. I want you know, Andy, that come February, you can mark me down, Snowmike Mike will give you the everybody take that to the bank. Snowmike mic's on it. How many herty is will he have none? Probably still three. I'm not allowed to have surgery yet.
Starting point is 00:29:13 You're not allowed what do you have to wait for? No, no, I got a loose weight. He can make fun with disability also. I don't like the way I'm being in pencil. You're pushing me in a corner. I'm going to start striking soon. You're saying a message to developers and publishers. If you want like a sure fire, we will play your game,
Starting point is 00:29:29 get us the review code like before Christmas break because nobody else is doing that. You know what I mean? That's a really, really good cause. You want me to play Metro? Get it to me. And like the last week. Like that dying light thing. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:40 we all are dying light too. Remember in persona four. You were playing that shit over Christmas? No, for five. We had, it was like fresh off. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Yeah, it was fresh off Christmas. There was something. There was some game. I remember getting in December that wasn't out to like March. The Romeo was a dead man. I think I got over Christmas break.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Sure. And you're like, oh no. I was like, oh no. Oh, no. The sports story was over Christmas. Sure. I don't think we got a coach for that one though.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I wonder why. Yeah. Man Eater 2, Mike, 2027 takes place during an invite-only preview event for Neptune's Kingdom, an ultra-luxury private island theme park designed for disaster. Where you are the disaster. That's the write-up? Yeah. Fantastic work, team.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Yeah, this one, it didn't click to me until Greg really pushed on me to be like, Mike, do you see what's happening here? But I cannot believe that we are getting a man-eater too. You know what, Tim? I know they sold 14 million copies, but you could have asked me yesterday. Mike, you ever think we'll see Manning or two? I would look at you dead in the eye and say, no, Tim, we'll never get that again.
Starting point is 00:30:40 But guess what? This game absolutely rocks and it is a ton of fun. And to see that Tripwire is able to do a sequel to this and have the concept idea just be Jurassic Park, but you're in the aquatic theme park. Yeah, we're all in on this game. Mike, you're underselling this, dude. It sold 14 million copies as of 2024.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Yeah. Like, it might be more. It might be on 16 million. That is insane to me. Because the release of the original man-hunt, man-eater, sorry, in 2020 and the official D.L.C. Man-eater, Truth Quest in 2021. That's what really is about me. The man-eater franchise has amassed more than, or over 20 million players from across
Starting point is 00:31:20 the globe. Now the Queen of the Sea is back, joined once again by disgrace reality TV show host and narrator, Tripp West Haven, and voiced by Chris Parnell, Sarah on African-Morty, to eat, explore and evolve and escape Neptune's kingdom. It makes you realize why Shark, week has gone on for so long. At some point, you know, in the last like five years, it's been, you know, several decades of shark week.
Starting point is 00:31:43 You're like, man, is this just kind of getting old? Like, sharks still got it, I guess. Someone died for the first time. What? During Shark Week? Right? Really? I think you're thinking about, uh, like they were watching with the,
Starting point is 00:31:57 Chris Hansen died. No, there was, there was a, there was a bad death. Yeah. Yeah, we might have to look at. Oh. That's what the movie's going to be about. Yeah. Where it all went wrong. According to the AI overview, no human deaths have ever occurred during the film.
Starting point is 00:32:10 I don't think they do anything live. Six months ago, the shark researcher passed away for 40 years of research. Like, people who make killed by sharks, though, but like... I think they do live stuff. How many people a year do you think get killed by a shark? Not that many. Way less than hippos. It must be in like the single digits?
Starting point is 00:32:32 It's got to be. Double digits? It's one of those, like... 30. I would take 12. Way too much. I'll say 12. I think 30 is way too much.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Google AI overview says five to 10 people worldwide each year. Okay. Yeah. That sounds about right. Yeah. Even though I don't trust AI, but... Yeah, I don't. Tim, we're living in a world that's not like Mike is up right now.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Oh, yeah. Man Eater 2. Mm-hmm. Okay, Tripwire, let's nail this. Let's move on to Cocaine Bear in the National Park. That's going to be a hit. UBSoft. Uh-oh, you're missing it.
Starting point is 00:33:07 You should be making Far Cry Jurassic Park. Let's get on this because man eater's going to show you how fun this could be inside of the awesome park as the shark. You got an opportunity here, Ubisoft. And then, Division 3. Yeah, maybe. That looks good, though. It did look good.
Starting point is 00:33:26 That looked really good. Tim, turn on Man Eater and play for just two hours, Tim. You're going to have a blast. Treat yourself, then. You will be smiling. Shark wall riding? I'm like, wait a minute, is this just a secret Tony Hawk game?
Starting point is 00:33:37 Does it? Does it? They have, oh yeah, you can get license plates up in the air. It's like Tony Hawk. You collect license plates in all fun, different traversal areas.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah, yeah. I saw Mike stream a lot of it, yeah. Yeah, you go from a little bull pop all the way to a great white. That's pretty cool. We need, I mean,
Starting point is 00:33:50 I don't know if anybody on the planet is going to evangelize this game more than Snowbike Mike. I'm gonna ride. Tripwire needs to like, we need to get Mike in the game. Mike, tripwire shark. Come on.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Come on. Come on. The first death. I'm in there. Cameron, the Canon chat says, why license plates? Because sharks eat anything. You ever seen Deep Blue Sea? No.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Oh, life. Not a documentary. Not a documentary. I don't know if I've ever seen any sharks. Nobody spoil anything about Deep Blue Sea because one day I want to do a live watch. Bless. There's a moment.
Starting point is 00:34:25 We know the moment. You know the moment. Which one had the Michael Jackson song in it? Free Willy. Oh, that's... Never mind. Never mind. Very different.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Imagine if we had got up at 6 a.m. And how we'd be talking right now. Next up, Kevin, we got Crimson Desert. Building now is included. Dude, that's fucked up, man. It's fucked up, Kevin. They would do that. Because, like, any time I'm playing, like,
Starting point is 00:34:52 even a game like The Witcher, I'm like, dude, if the Witcher had, like, a just of building mechanic, it would be so sick. And as soon as I see that, Kevin, I see that little green kind of see-through wall guide of like, this is where a while would go up. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:35:06 oh my God, that is so sick. Especially in a game, like, because in survival games, I don't need a story. And in here, I won't have one either.
Starting point is 00:35:14 So it's like totally great that I would, I don't care about, about narrative here. Perfect. You know, they updated the story. They did add new story. They did add a new story moments.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Did you know that they updated the story? And during that trailer, they said his name too. It was like one of the first times you ever heard him to say his name out loud. It was pretty amazing. Cliff McDuff. Kevin, this is going to take you away from inshrouded?
Starting point is 00:35:38 I mean, honestly, the fact that they're coming out in the same day, like, I'm devastated. I'm heartbroken. I don't know what I'm going to do because, like, this is so exciting, you know? Look at this. Oh. I build a room. It's awesome. A painting outside?
Starting point is 00:35:53 Snap those fucking rotations. What if you just did a full day? You did six hours on Enshrouted, six hours on Crimson Desert. I can't. I don't work like that. I'm going to do one. I look like, I mean, I opened up In Shrouded. I don't work like that.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I opened up and shrouded on Steam yesterday and I saw Kevin unlocked an achievement yesterday. I'm like, God damn he's still playing. Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Underwater too? Wow. But like legitimately, the map is so much bigger now. Like the, because there's a lot of water that you can take a boat on but now you can go in it.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Andy, that's a way more map. What could run on top of it? Could you always run on top of it? I think it's special shoes. No, that was a brand new I saw like here's a brand new move
Starting point is 00:36:38 It's like a running You know There's definitely shoes that make you run on water Just for a moment Oh okay You can also get a horse And run that out of water No no special shoes
Starting point is 00:36:46 The horse? Yeah it's a wood horse Do you need two pairs? Yeah well I mean obviously Yeah Next time we had the Lego PlayStation Has an ape escape And Grand Turismo diorama inside
Starting point is 00:36:56 This is cool This is nifty This was my favorite part The recreation of the intro Very cool Yeah, this is one of those things I'm not the target audience You know, well I am
Starting point is 00:37:07 I mean, I love my PlayStation in like Maybe but like especially with like When they showed the Grand Turismo And Apiscape dioramas I was like are they about to announce Like we have several versions There's there's this and this one has Metal Gear and Final Fantasy
Starting point is 00:37:21 And it's like you know what to be that That would have done more for me I would rather either just be this Or I can customize what's inside as not a GT guy Or an Ape Escape guy Greg I'm looking at PlayStation I'm like you better not make this one the test bed on and hinge the further like success and like, we're going to, you know, we'll see how much this one sells so we could do other versions of it.
Starting point is 00:37:44 It's like, I mean, I like this, but I don't care about Ape Escape and Grantzma, I don't fuck with it. But if this was Metal Gear Solid One and Einhander. They don't really own the biggest games on this one. I just think of like PlayStation, like, those are like the... What are the biggest games PlayStation actually owns on PS? Is it? Apiscape? I mean, it's not Apescape, but I mean, like, at a certain point, it is Ape Escape, right?
Starting point is 00:38:12 Crash Banacue, come on. You know, it's Activision. Bullshit. Bullshit, man. That's crazy. I never even thought about that. Big it back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:19 That's all, I mean, that's why PlayStation's in All-Stars Battle Royale was what it was. Yeah, I guess. But yeah, that looks cool. The law always gets in the way, bless. The fucking law, man. Red tape, you know. They weren't doing any work on their own comp. Oh, vagrant story.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Oh, my God. Remake vagrant story. Next up, we had Final Fantasy Resonance. Return to the Pixel Art World. The Final Fantasy evolved from its classic roots. Travel with companions bound by fate and call on visions to aid you in battle to uncover the truth behind a force that threatens to bring everything to ruin. It's a Final Fantasy.
Starting point is 00:38:49 October 22nd. A demo today. The entire first chapter of the game, save data from the demo will be carried over to the full game. I love to see it. Hell yeah. I'm excited to hop into this demo just to kind of like get the vibes. Yeah, what is your,
Starting point is 00:39:01 you know, it's an interesting one as somebody who loves this style and has been brought into so many games because of it, right? Like, I have no affinity to classic Final Fantasy. I'm hoping this one connects with me because of what I've played before and how I like these kind of games. Tim, as a fan of Final Fantasy in every shape and form, do you have high expectations? Do you expect this to grab you or what's your deal with it? I mean, I have high expectations that people are going to really like this game. Yeah. I am not going to, I can tell.
Starting point is 00:39:27 And I think a lot of it is, there's two reasons. There's the origins of it being the gotcha mobile game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I understand it's not the exact same thing, but that's not a great starting place, in my opinion. And then on top of that, getting all of the, like, hey, all the heroes and villains you're here, like, that always feels cheap to me.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Yeah, like, I would much prefer just, like, give me a brand new story full its own Final Fantasy thing. This gets a little bit too spin off. It doesn't matter. And, like, hey, again, I'm happy if you're going to like this. It feels like a theme park or something. Yeah, I just. like there's a lot of this I'm seeing. I'm like, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Obviously, I'm hyped to see Tetus back and in a new form. And these, did you see like the Tetus trailer that they dropped, Mike? No. A ton of super cool, fall in fantasy 10 stuff going on. And I was like, yeah, it's great. But like, I don't know, if, there's something that feels a little cheap about it to me. But cheap summons.
Starting point is 00:40:17 It looks, I mean, it's obviously super visually impressive that this art style is always going to be cool to me. But what I'm hoping, Greg, is to get, like, just a bit, because I still got a bad taste of my mouth from that little fairy
Starting point is 00:40:32 who just kept on yapping in Elliot Adventures of Elliot If we can get even like the tiniest step up in writing and voice acting Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like I think that would go Such a long way
Starting point is 00:40:46 For this title I would be super into it But I'm kind of with Tim The Sephiroth thing feels like kind of a Like a cheap gag to get people in and I'd rather just be a brand new...
Starting point is 00:41:01 I know it is a brand new story, but I don't really care about the... I will be interested since they're just summons, how are they doing that? Is it like, we're doing this thing, and we're on the battle, and, you know, many warriors and many universes have come before us
Starting point is 00:41:13 and their, you know, residences throughout the world, and so we're able to... You know what I mean? Like, is that how we're explaining it away? Yeah, and I know this is its own thing, and I know it's its own story, but just adding all these elements on top of it, it kind of just feels like,
Starting point is 00:41:25 hey, this is just a greatest hits Final Fantasy game. I mean, let me just read the... To aid you in battle to uncover the truth behind a force that threatens to bring everything to ruin. It's like, yeah. That's what I mean? Yeah. Like, we can apply that to like so many of them and like, that's cool. But all I'm saying is it's not making me go, oh, I'm going to play this game. I'm ready to be surprised.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Great. I hope we are. It's going to look so good on the OLED. Oh. Yeah. So, so good on that steam deck. Then we got Gundam Rogue orbit. Woo.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Hell yeah. It looks so cool. It looks fun. Yeah. I think that's the big thing for me is that it just looks fun to play. Like, as goaded as armored core is and how much I enjoyed armored core six, there was always still a part of me that was like, I wish, I wish this was more melee based. And that's not me saying like, I wish this was more like a Souls game.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I just kind of would lose the thrill of the lock on with the AR just kind of shooting at this, you know. I think this conceptually seems like a lot cooler and there just seem to be a lot more abilities that they are kind of bringing into the fold we see the main character do so much different shit with different weapons
Starting point is 00:42:38 and gadgets and I think it looks really badass and I hope it has like an awesome over the top anime story with hype moments like I think it could be really cool it's the whip that's doing a lot yeah you know what I mean armored core has a thing where you after you beat the game one
Starting point is 00:42:53 once if you continue playing on new game plus, you'll unlock crazier and crazier weapons as you go. And like, it looks like just from default, you're getting a level of really fun, really wacky, really cool tools to use here from the get-go. Again, more anime, more action-y in a way that really, really appeals to me. I am shocked, though, that the characters do not have that just straightforward anime look. I think that does a lot for me, too. I would expect the characters in this to almost be cell-shaded to look like a lot of other, like, you know, anime sort of leaning games. But I'm kind of surprised that they do have that Ace Combat.
Starting point is 00:43:31 I was going to say, it reminds me of Ace Combat. Who's making this again? This is Bandai Namcoe publishing it? Yes, they're publishing it. It's coming out March 5th, 2027. You've been in the Bandai Namco building bus? No. In L.A. when I had that bad preview event for, uh,
Starting point is 00:43:49 Night Rain, Elder Ring Night Rain, and then they invited me back that same week because the first one on the internet was so bad. The second one was at their offices. They have not only like a lot of cool Elder Ring statues, but big-ass Gundam statues everywhere. It's so sick, dude. So I assume they're making it also then.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Yeah, it looks like they are. Maybe, baby. Okay. Next up we have Hunter's Moon. This is coming October 26th this year. First person historical narrative folk horror game coming exclusively PS5. This is Greg.
Starting point is 00:44:17 That's me, baby. Yeah, I mean, from the pitch, it was like, oh, this is a great game, and then the trailer happened, I didn't hear anything from you. What are you thinking on this one? I think there's not a lot to go on. I like what little bit of art style we're seeing, and I like the pitch of, hey, yeah, here's...
Starting point is 00:44:32 Full core, and the way they open with the song, right, speak so much to you and me and loving South of Midnight, and I'm not trying to put that on its shoulders already because South and Midnight is such a great game. But this looks interesting, you know what I mean? Again, I'm always happy to see PlayStation and all of the big companies use their platform, especially on a big showcase. That is, here we're ending with a new,
Starting point is 00:44:52 with new Final Fantasy stuff. We got Wolverine here. Like, hey, let's give the indie some platform in it. It looks interesting. Again, it is spooky season. As soon as we get to September 1st, it becomes spooky season. So I'm excited. I'm in that mindset.
Starting point is 00:45:06 And having that little game of running around and seeing what this folklore is all about. This trailer didn't blow me away. It definitely didn't make me go, oh my God, must play day one, let's be there. But it did make me go, this is very interesting. What they're showing me here is interesting. I haven't made my way through the entire PlayStation blog about it,
Starting point is 00:45:22 but it seems like something I would enjoy. It didn't do what like FireWalk? No. Firewatch. Watch. Firewatch. It didn't do what Firewatch did for me like way back in the day when you first see that trailer and you're like, this is, whoa, this is a cool mystery.
Starting point is 00:45:36 What's it doing narratively? This one I'm like, what are they going for here? It was kind of hard to discern. Then we have Uncanyin from the makers of McKett, graceful decay, Anna Purno, Public. this comes in 2027. It's been a few years since we shared McKett with you and while that game was about the shifting
Starting point is 00:45:52 scale of perspective and memories, we spent our time since then thinking about a different kind of shift. The shift of unparallel realities. Hell yeah. Yeah, I'm all the way into this. Of course, McKett came out back in 2021. That was a game that I believe also came out on PS Plus. It did. It debuted there, yeah. Yes, because I think that's how I played it.
Starting point is 00:46:10 And I think it's really cool to see PlayStation likely saw something in this developer and went, oh, wait, no, we want to own this. Like, we want to be able to show off your next game in a state of play here. And McKett also was published by Annapurna, just like this one is. And so there's a level of consistency here
Starting point is 00:46:24 that has me excited just to see a story continue as far as the developer having good success with McKett and being able to continue the puzzle game sort of thing here with Un Canyon. I think this game looks really cool. I love it visually. I love like the weird stuff it's doing as far as like the shifting levels you see here,
Starting point is 00:46:40 like you see stairs raised, you see like structures shift in and out here on the- How does that work, right? look at that. Is that a button prompt or is that just the world? Is it just happening naturally? Melding and she runs around it. I was someone who's not usually puzzle poppy over there like bless, you know, I played a manifold and enjoyed
Starting point is 00:46:57 it. I'm looking forward to this one and I love the introduction of the story. Like having us drop here and have Sonia talk to this guy. I was like, oh dang, okay. Like, I like that idea of like let's get wrapped up in a world here. Yeah. And I like the character art too. That's new for them, I think. So really looking forward to it. I like the name on Canyon
Starting point is 00:47:12 also. Yeah. Yeah. Great logo. And then next up we had Double Finds Keeper Now on PlayStation today Great game really really fun Really good time it's a shorter experience And I definitely think y'all should check this one out Go get them
Starting point is 00:47:28 I agree We had Rev Noir coming 2027 This is the Konami game Yay All the one we thought looks like Scarlet Nexus It's called Nexus 5 It's Reve Nex's Noirre Yeah
Starting point is 00:47:45 Rev period noir. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With a forward slash? No, no forward slash on this one. Yeah, like that. Dot hack, I think has two four.
Starting point is 00:47:52 It does if it looks so cool, man. Dot hack was a game that's so, I would go to so many friends' houses and you'll just have a stack of dot hack games. I've never seen gameplay of that. Then we had Rhapsody and Scarlet. This is in 1920s New York City. Set in the jazz-filled streets of 20s New York. Rhapsody and Scarlet is a action game where players can enjoy exhilarating combos,
Starting point is 00:48:11 wielding magic and beasts behind the city's dazzling skyscrapers and lively streets. seen conflict rages among those who practice magic and secret. Players take on the role of Ellie, a young Magus, who finds herself swept up in events that will shape her destiny. A couple moments in this that I thought were cool. I was saying this earlier reminds me of the anime Bacchano, which I really enjoyed. But yeah, it just looks okay. I don't think it looks like it's going to be a contender in any way, shape, or form.
Starting point is 00:48:39 No, I think it looks rough, and I also think it's interesting. They must have been like when Stranger Than Heaven started promoting like, fuck you know what I mean like the music and the jazz and that feel was supposed to be our vibe and you get here and it obviously smacks so much of the front not because they're copying just because obviously similar time frames and then to jump into it is like oh this doesn't hit nearly as hard as it was stranger than heaven's been doing it was one thing I thought was really cool that looks like there's a boss fight in the streets of New York and then the buildings are kind of like bouncing around I'm like that looked unique I haven't seen shit like that but I also just like big action setpiece bosses that have crazy set shit going on, whether it's Final Fantasy 16 that I always reference or Astro Body. Tides of Annihilation has some shit for you, man. Let me tell you. Oh, my God. I can't fucking wait for tides. Kevin, can you rewind a little bit back?
Starting point is 00:49:28 There's, like, I don't know what's going on with the hair in this game, but it just looks really rough, man. Anytime there's like a, like a, yeah, like that shot that we just saw of her. And this is like just extremely nitpicky shit, but it's like, it just looks like so crunchy and it's not just this shot but there's like a lot of other shots of different I'm like I don't know what's going to happening with the rendering here but it
Starting point is 00:49:51 looks rough visually I think but this dude looks cool then we got a PS Plus stuff we got Micopunk a hyper customizable co-op looter shooter for one to four players we've fucked up not playing this one man it's a devolver game and it always looked extremely fun
Starting point is 00:50:10 and it's it was one of those that was in kind of an early access demo period for a bit. I want to give it a shot. I just, there's so many things. And the classics announcements, we got Mega Man X command mission
Starting point is 00:50:22 coming this month, Dino Crisis 2 later this year and Ratched and Clank later this year. Always cool to hear Dino Crisis said. Then we got the Saros Zenith update coming from Housemark. Then they tossed in kind into this PlayStation Plus part,
Starting point is 00:50:35 which it angers us. I mean, me for sure, but us in general. Just like, what are we doing? Why did we do this? Why didn't we stop and make a big deal
Starting point is 00:50:41 like Soros is getting to do? shit. Put this like near the beginning or near the end or something. I don't know. It's just a weird place to put it but dude, Star Wars rules. Don't, you know, don't forget about December, bless. Don't forget
Starting point is 00:50:56 December. Even though this game came out in like April or something like that. But that's where I'm at with like just reminding people how amazing the art direction is in this game and just how fun it is to play the gyro aiming excites the hell out of me because there's...
Starting point is 00:51:14 I feel like they heard Andy talk about it. Dude, I think maybe Alana... No, Alana wanted a boss rush. I don't know if she wanted... What did Cisco? What did Cisco want a gyro aiming? Yes. Gotta let him know.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Yeah, dude. And because a lot of the weapons in this game have the auto aim where it just, if you're in the general direction, the bullets are immediately going to the enemies, but there are some weapons that don't have that and require the precision.
Starting point is 00:51:42 And to hit those weak spots with gyraaming just feels like it makes perfect sense. And it's what I wanted from the start. But this is super exciting. This game rules so much. And it deserves to sell so many more copies than it has so far. Lil Rindler Super Chad is saying, let's just go know gyro's coming to saw us. Yeah. That's very, very funny.
Starting point is 00:52:02 He was the one who demanded it. He was the one of, this is how it all happened. Anthony in the chat was saying that the ration clank is, it's the PS2 version, but it's now running in 4K60 and has a whole new trophy list. Oh, that's not even the PS3 remaster. It's like the OG butt updated. I love when they do. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Like, that's awesome. He's doing it. Here we go. Plus, what if we just find a time machine, go back in time, play some more splitune? But we get Mike involved.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Dude, I was thinking about Splatoon. Mike would love Splatoon. Dude, Mike would absolutely love Splatoon. Greg, what's good. Cisco, you're live on kind of funny right now. How are you? Whoop, who. Boop, boba, blah,
Starting point is 00:52:40 whizzo, whizzo, was it. Do you know yet? that you've changed video games. Today, during PlayStation's state of play, they announced they are bringing gyro aiming to Saros. Yes. Yes. That's all you, my friend.
Starting point is 00:52:57 You did that. We did it. We wanted you to hear the good news. Are you well? Yes. How about you on the fan? Yeah, we're doing great. I don't know if you know I'm the four-peat champion on Game Showdown.
Starting point is 00:53:09 It's insane. It's insane, dude. Hang up the phone. All right. I'll send you some links to watch. later. I got to get back to the show. I'll talk to you later. All right, bye. Just like calling an old, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:21 classmate. Meanwhile, it's Cisco the Dragon. The Zenith update adds Overlord Rush, a brand new mode where you take on the phone. Enemies from the main game back to back. Go for high score and compete with players around the world using
Starting point is 00:53:38 integrated leaderboards and a throwback to the classic arcade style. Dude, I love that. I just fucking love leaderboards, dude. The update also brings Eclipse Layers, a new game plus mode, which allows seasoned and enforcers to put their skills to the ultimate test. After clearing Sarros players can return to the beginning and take on a more challenging version of the game. You can rise to meet those trials with even more progression options and new carcocin modifiers to customize your experience. There are also new secrets and trophies to discover as you delve deeper into the eclipse layers. And then there's all those accessibility features.
Starting point is 00:54:07 So yeah, very, very cool. No co-op. I was going to say, do you think we'll ever get to co-op? No, I feel like the internet makes when I bring it up. but one day. I mean, you're right about it. Why? Why do they hate it?
Starting point is 00:54:17 I agree with you. Yeah, they don't know. It's odd. I don't know why the internet doesn't want co-op an optional option in the game. Like, anytime there is a third-person shooter, it's just always, like, if you could play with a friend, it's just always sick as hell. You know what, you know what, Greg, we're not even talking about the show anymore. When Nick was here last week and when we were really low on Coke Zero and probably were out, honestly, to be real with you, he was like, man you know what I had a lot of fun
Starting point is 00:54:45 I've been thinking about that one game we played together where we were all like in kind of like medieval battles tears of metal he was into tears of metal yeah he was I've been thinking about it since they had new characters you know already oh yeah I did see that
Starting point is 00:54:58 I did see that tears metal that really play the game yeah I hope PlayStation doesn't like leave house mark behind I don't even want you to speak it like I don't want to hear it right now it sounds like Saros didn't do amazingly
Starting point is 00:55:11 I feel like the tenor on it compared to returnal is way lower. And it's like you're just shoving this update trailer. In the worst spot. In the worst spot. Yeah. And not making a big deal out. And then you're linking the wrong link on social media.
Starting point is 00:55:23 You're putting a fucking state of play link from June. It's like, who? It hurts. Right now, bless, you're talking about like fucking the polar ice caps. And I don't want to hear the. Yeah. It's like 10 years where we're going to be all underwater. Oh.
Starting point is 00:55:38 If COVID number two doesn't get us first. How fucking dare you all not by Saros, man? It pisses me on. Just understand what you have places. Don't fuck up house market. Please. Please. Scary times.
Starting point is 00:55:51 A lot of people make a wrong decision. Not everybody can sell 30 million copies or whatever in two weeks. Grand Charismos get an update. Spec 4 later this year. We're getting some in October. We're getting some in December. Across these two updates, players can look forward to new circuits and cars,
Starting point is 00:56:06 additional ways to compete and features designed to make the world of Grant Charism are more welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. 2027 is the 30th anniversary. Stay tuned. I will. In the world of Grand Tourism. Then we got until dawn to coming January 28th, 2027.
Starting point is 00:56:22 We've partnered with our friends at Ad Hoc Studio, the brilliant minds behind the acclaimed dispatch. So you can expect a deeply layered story packed with rich characters, razor sharp dialogue, fraught relationships, tough decisions, and yes,
Starting point is 00:56:33 more than a few gruesome deaths. Every choice, every interaction can ripple with dramatic consequences. There could not have been better news today, legitimately. For real, Andy. Like this is yeah It's crazy narratively
Starting point is 00:56:44 You played dispatch and my first thought Was the same thought I had after playing Citizen Sleeper 1 and 2 of like man I wish you could write on everything else And like to be able to get that talent And nailing like the razor sharp dialogue That game is so sharply and like witting Whittily written Whitting? It's just great
Starting point is 00:57:05 It's fucking great Mike Yeah this is a big one for me as someone where it's like I love Until Dawn I like that team right and now we have until dawn, but with a new team, and I start to go, I don't know, right? Am I fully in on this? We saw it with Little Nightmares Andy this year where it's like, hey, sometimes you hand it off and it's not the same, right?
Starting point is 00:57:22 Re-animal? Yeah, when you give me, hey, we got a nice announcement of like, we're team with another team that really blew your way last year. Let's have some confidence. I have a lot more confidence in this game now. Yeah. Yeah, me and Greg, of course, are playing all the supermassive games. And throughout-
Starting point is 00:57:40 Supermass of September. Supermassive September. Stop it. Throughout all the dark picture stuff, it feels like there are such varying levels of quality. Every now and then they put out a house of ashes, and it's like, whoa, okay, you guys are kind of cooking. And then they'll put out a devil in me,
Starting point is 00:57:55 and then they'll put out a devil in me, and then they'll put out a directive of 8020. It's like, what are you doing? But then they'll put out a quarry. And they hit you with a quarry. And it's like, you can never tell which level of supermassive you're getting. As I watched this trailer, this fire sprite version of what there, until dawn is, looks great all throughout, right?
Starting point is 00:58:10 the choices have me excited. The ways in which they're showing you how these choices are going to matter seems exciting, right? Like Andy talks about with the part of the ad hoc studio, they're saying all the right things. And I'm going to bring it back even further,
Starting point is 00:58:23 talking about the PlayStation lineage of it. Of course, Supermassive was working with PlayStation at a certain point, making until dawn, right? Yeah, until dawn was an exclusive. I mean, obviously PlayStation owns the IP. But then I also look at a studio like Quantic Dream who's making a similar type of game
Starting point is 00:58:37 with these choose your own adventure, you know, these branching paths, high fidelity, right? I feel like that's been lost like very heavily in the last 10 years on the PlayStation side
Starting point is 00:58:48 and that was kind of part of what I saw PlayStation's identity as PlayStation if you remember went and built a whole social link system around it. Yeah, use your phone to play
Starting point is 00:58:58 and do this thing. Erica, hidden agenda. Like that for me was such a strong part of the PlayStation identity that's been lost. And so I really hope that this could be a step
Starting point is 00:59:06 into kind of regaining that. What's interesting about it in watching Granted, this is just a trailer. I wonder how much gameplay is in it. Because what they're showing are such stylized choices and pulling the lead shirt. But I mean, like, is there at all us walking around an environment and picking things up? Or are we just watching the movie and then when it gets to the choices slash pulling things doing stuff?
Starting point is 00:59:23 I'd be kind of into it, not walking around. I mean, that's always a thing that kind of breaks it, right? Like, I think we can all say, oh, we want. But is that a game? It's like, I'd rather be an interactive horror movie where I'm making choices rather than the walking. Can I interact with this? And McGinnigley, please go to the other world. Like, well, up there's a collectible.
Starting point is 00:59:39 You're breaking up the narrative. It's going to show me something. Exactly. Oh, my God. Look really hard because it's going to pop up for three seconds. Yeah. Rotate it. Rotate it. Oh, there's a little, like, slip in there.
Starting point is 00:59:49 It's vibrating. Shalupa Batman says, I know this blonde guy, actor, I know him, but this model doesn't look anything like him, but I forget who it is. Dakker. Yeah, Dakker Montgomery is the Red Ranger from the last Power Rangers movie, and he's also in a stranger things. And then we got two members of Cobur Kai in this.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Don't you forget? Really? Never forget? Asterian. from Ballard's 8 3. Looks great Nubon. And he's got a great American accent. I didn't expect that.
Starting point is 01:00:15 I don't even notice it. Then we have GTA, six controllers, two of them. We get a black one and a white one. They both look pretty damn sweet. Les, what did you think about Neil Nubon
Starting point is 01:00:25 in the Liza P. DLC? He was in the Liza P.LC? Who was he in the Liza P.D.L. He was like one of the MPCs you thought. It was amazing. I didn't even notice. I think these controllers are cool.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Yeah, they look fan. I will rush out to buy. I need more yellow. Oh, really? I need a fade to orange. It's okay. I would love it if it had like the color scheme over here a bit more.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't look bad by any means. I'm not blown away by this. I guess they look a little more nebula. It's okay without the yellow. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Yeah. It looks at Miami Vice. You're right, Andy, on that one. Yeah. Get the Miami Heat designer in there. Let's get this thing going. It would have been cool if the touchpad was just like maybe didn't have the VI, but it was if it was like the standard ripples that they have,
Starting point is 01:01:04 but it was that great. Yeah. That would be pretty neat. Yeah, I like that actually It looks like something you'd buy from scuff I don't like the six on the touchpad I think that's my thing Me too
Starting point is 01:01:14 I wanted to be themed GTA6 But I don't want it to be like Oh, I got this GTA6 merch in my room You know? Yeah, mm-hmm I know I want it to be over the top Yeah, yeah I don't like logos on my stuff
Starting point is 01:01:24 I also don't like logos on my stuff Unless it's like a brand Unless it's like a Nike logo You know what I mean I like it like I want my logo to mean Excellence I like when age I like when a game thing
Starting point is 01:01:35 When a game shirt is like like if you know you know. Yeah. Oh, I agree. Yeah. Settled tea stuff. Finishing it off, we have Final Fantasy 7. Revelation. Getting a release date of April 8th, 2027. There's a lot more that's dropped from this game that I haven't had the time to fully look into. But looks like there's DLC announced. What? Two sets of DLC. Is it more a Wutang? One focusing on Sephiroth and one focusing on Vincent. Sounds perfect. Which I'm like. Surge of Cerberus
Starting point is 01:02:06 and Advent children Are we Getting story things after the game Based on those things that happen Later in the storyline Because holy shit That's pretty sick That would be absolutely insane
Starting point is 01:02:18 What if they broke up part three And two parts And then you got the first one Then the DLCs in the second part That'd be crazy I'm sending assets This right now I don't know where the high quality version of it is
Starting point is 01:02:29 But they just released the key art For the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy and I'm still it is incredible man oh my god remake at the top rebirth in the middle
Starting point is 01:02:43 you print that out you put that on a wall and you and you be proud of it you know this looks so good man that looks so I love that it also focuses on the characters that are like introduces being playable
Starting point is 01:02:56 in each of the games going down getting the whole cast there the fire the three colors of it from green to blue to red this is good. It's that good stuff, man. That's hot. Holy shit. I don't think I've ever played a series that's more like we're going to do,
Starting point is 01:03:11 we're going to give our fans everything that they could possibly want. It's this and Super Smash Bros. Yeah, straight up. And like, as we were watching the, gameplay trailer, it's like, I was, I kept freaking out like, oh my God, the remaking the game, which I know sounds stupid for a Final Fantasy remake of seven, but that's, it's crazy that we got here after the three games. It took three games to get to the point that Midgar is now fully realized. thinking about the first game, or sorry, not Midgar, the first game was Midgar.
Starting point is 01:03:37 This being the entire world now of like, they added a bit more of it in rebirth. And now all of it here, having the airship be able to fly over it. It's like, dang, dude, the full realization of Final Fantasy 7 being remade is upon us. And getting the actual revelations of what the story beats are all going to be. I can't wait. Again, them featuring Zach on the cover, they did it last time. And that, I felt a little bit swindled. all of it, where it's like, we got
Starting point is 01:04:06 a little, but we really didn't get enough. We really didn't get the answers I'm looking for, which is fine. We have one more game, but him being here again, I popped off during the trailer thing there, but it's like, we get to see the reunion of Zach and Ayrth. This is such big deal shit to me, and it's still real to me, David. It's so real
Starting point is 01:04:24 to me, but I'm like, what's going on there? Like, I don't know if it's just a flashback to crisis core of them in the church, because it could be. I need to look at what they're where I know, because Aresth was younger then. We got to get... The younger... We got to get Maximilian on a pod with Tim.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Yeah. I would just sit in the fucking next to the big shark. Just be and Andy sitting over there. Um, Kevin, can you just... I don't even know it's a 10-minute fucking thing and it's in here somewhere, but there's some part where we see Zach and Ares. I would love somebody who's not... Oh, it must be just in this trailer part in the beginning.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Tim, I don't know who Zach or... ...that's okay. That is fair. It's like gold bar with that. I don't know There's been a mistake Um They're here
Starting point is 01:05:10 Here here here Which one's Eric It's the girl Her name is Eric They're there They seem excited to see each other Yeah look at them Wait is this the church
Starting point is 01:05:28 Or is this Despite her house It looks like outside her house Yeah Okay but yeah okay So she's Give it to us again, Kevin. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:36 So they met in Crisis Corps, which is the prequel. Oh, that's... And, like, that's... Eric is in definitively different outfit then. And he met her mom in the last game. Yeah. So, okay, this is the... I don't remember that.
Starting point is 01:05:50 What a game. Dude, he... Zach is back, bro. Zach Jack. Look at his face seeing here, guys. This is crazy, man. This is crazy. Like, remember when you and I were gonna... co-op one of this one of the streams and we're like man we can't wait to dive into the story
Starting point is 01:06:07 and we spent like the first three hours of a four-hour stream and I was just doing one of the choke-a-one of the choke-a-boe-moni-during we're out there man we got nowhere yeah oh man I'm so excited to watch a maximilian or someone break this down and really get him on man oh so sick the weapons are huge diving out the high wind to like fight them that's gonna be so dang sick and what's up with the DLC somebody inform me on this DLC
Starting point is 01:06:40 I need to know what have they said Tell me baby girl Cause I need to know Tell me Um mom Fancy 7 Revelation will have two different DLCs there's a story expansion pass When you get a bunch of accessories and bullshit
Starting point is 01:07:00 And then yeah okay story DLC one Sephora The story DLC 2 is Vincent and the Turks. Vincent and the Turks. I think it's going to be happen children in church. That's cool. That's crazy that one game can have so much con.
Starting point is 01:07:15 I forgot I played Crisis Corps. They remade it and I played it. Totally forgot that happened. DLCs won't be available immediately. Instead, they'll be released between winter 2027 and spring 2028. Wow. The story will never end.
Starting point is 01:07:30 We went to theater and watched Advent children. Remember that? Yeah, we did. Dude, we sure did. That was wild. And a separate trailer has dropped the release of a trailer, but I'll watch that on my own time. Moving on, we then get into the PlayStation state of play for the Japan. Dragon Balls Universe 3.
Starting point is 01:07:51 I don't have much to say. And I'm not, I tried the Universe 1 into you. Those didn't really stick with me. I did a preview that, where they just showed like a video of here's a bunch of things. things. One of the things is that you can transform your, like, mid-fight transform your creative character into like an existing Dragon Ball character. They made a big deal
Starting point is 01:08:10 out of that. That seemed pretty neat. But it looks cool. I'll probably try it again. And then Andy, we had fate slash extra record coming January 28th. Fate slash extra record. That's the one that Greg read the press release and was like every, after
Starting point is 01:08:26 10 years or whatever. Yeah. People were stoked. Many decades? I don't remember what it looked like. There was a promo for Tokyo Game Show. There was another Monster Hunter extended interview. Then Dragon Quest Monsters, the Withered World coming December 3rd. Go get them. Then the eminence in shadow phantom echoes.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Of course. This titles the first console 3D action roguelight game based on the eminence in shadow anime. It adopts roguelite elements in which the character abilities are randomly enhanced during each playthrough, allowing characters to craft unique builds from a wide variety of combinations and enjoy combat against challenging enemies coming 2027. Was this the one with the blood and the jiggle? Yes. I love you so.
Starting point is 01:09:10 It may have been. I love you so much. Then we have rematch Blue Lock CoLab coming September 24th. Bless you dropping everything for this. Man, September 24th, first of all, this should have happened six months after after rematch came out.
Starting point is 01:09:26 We're a year and a half too late for this. That said, this might save the game. Not that the game needs saving. I don't know where we're at with the rematch. Either way, I think this is going to bring a lot of people back in, at least for a day. Will I hop in? probably for a day
Starting point is 01:09:38 for a day you got me rematch this one I love this although I will say it was the peak you can't do anything bigger than this is rematch this is the thing that everybody wanted this is the thing that we've all been waiting for
Starting point is 01:09:52 they got 4,600 playing right now I just looked at it on Steam only I could not believe that yeah it's a really good game it's awesome we had a great time I'll jump into this I wonder what the numbers were during the World Cup let me look oh probably pretty good
Starting point is 01:10:04 man put us in the cool arena of the practice arena where they practice. Give us some of the cool characters. Maybe make up some fun power-ups. Let's get weird. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I didn't even think about that. Yeah, put us in that specific arena. That'd be fun.
Starting point is 01:10:18 Then we got Where the Seeds Fall. This is from Sy Games' new sublabel, Sy Games Edge, a new label, A New Label focused on creating bold experimental game experiences alongside its debut title, Where The Seeds Fall, Coming to PS5, November 5th. The Action Adventure follows a soldier and a fell child as they descend the World Tree toward the blight-stricken surface,
Starting point is 01:10:36 navigating ruins, wind, and dangerous drops along the way. Always. It's only down. Only down. Like when we first got the title thing of where the seeds fall, man, that's a stupid ass name. And then you see the game and it's like, you know what,
Starting point is 01:10:50 you kind of earned the name for me. Yeah. I'll give you that. Mike, you hopping in, you hopping down? You know what, Tim? I'll hop in one time to see what's up with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:58 It's an odd choice, but we will see if that pays off for them. Blessing big news. Check this out. What's that? So rematch Before the World Cup And after has always been hovering around the 5,000, 6,000, 4,000 player mark
Starting point is 01:11:13 Sure sure sure World Cup starts June 8th They hit 10,000 And they went as low as like 9600 Up until like the end of the World Cup Shout up the rematch, man
Starting point is 01:11:26 Good for them They made a lot of money off that game They sold in like the first few weeks They sold like millions of copies And that's a paid game Let's get C-foot-2. Come on. We're going to get C-F2.
Starting point is 01:11:37 C-F2 is going to rock. Oh, my God, yes, please. World Phasebound Control Authority, WPCA. Man, this is just like a lot of things. It's coming from Kraft-on. New Action RPG coming in 2028, set in soul. Players take on the role of containment agent, entering containment zones to confront bizarre supernatural phenomena.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Oh, this game. It was like every backroom. Right here. And I was just like, is he fucking with me? Did he just add a game that we didn't see? This is the one that ended with the pixelated shit. It's like what you was happening. Had the kaju cleanup crew as well in there.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Backrooms. Everything control. Backrooms control. But it was like an action RPG. Astral plane, remember? I dropped that. Dude, slash zero looks rad. That demo's out now, by the way.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Slash Zero is not next, Andy. Because next is, Stupid Never Dies. October 21st. Demo out today. I don't know. Cool. I'm not, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:32 I'll check out the demo. Yeah. this feels like a game that should be made by Suda Yes 1000% I feel like if Suda was making it It would have a bit more attitude That would appeal to me
Starting point is 01:12:42 And now Andy slash zero Side scrolling action rogue like demo Today featuring three playable characters Boss battles and more than 10 hours of content This is spring 2027 Dude I had seen this This was one of those Twitter games Or was just always in my algorithm
Starting point is 01:12:56 And I kept on seeing it And one day I was trying to search for it And I kept on looking for Blade Zero Or Zero or Zero Blade and I was going fucking crazy. I was like, did I hallucin this game? I dreamed this game. Yeah. It looks awesome, dude. I think it's
Starting point is 01:13:11 one of those like super promising games that reminds me a lot of another game that we haven't really hopped into. DeVinnom is another like indie title that has crazy 2D character action with like just insanely stylish moves. This, I mean, this looks a lot
Starting point is 01:13:27 like it's a lot of fun. I want to check it out. Then we got, oh man. Echoes of Vinecraft. Yeah. You nailed it. Genesis Maiden. Genesis Maiden brings a new storyline. It's side quest to extend the journey of players across new areas of floors one and two of Eyncrad.
Starting point is 01:13:43 Introducing a new alley. You don't need to know this. You get it. You don't give a shit about this game, everybody. Ignacio, you know you care. You know all about it. You don't need to worry about it. Tim lashing out on us.
Starting point is 01:14:00 I really hope you're happy, Ignacio. I do not have super chats. It says my highlights have to be echoes of Iancred and Digimon DLCs. Wow. You guys clearly have no taste. Come on, Tim. P.S. Google.
Starting point is 01:14:13 What does this one have on that a critic? Like a 64. Got it. Okay. Cool. Cool. Digim. Digimon DLC.
Starting point is 01:14:20 A hero's eternal legacy. This is coming 2027. It takes a lot to have a game be that low, man. Like that's kind of crazy. It's like, like, well, I'm saying damage. It's Tim's lashing out. Tim's been on camera. And he's hiding up with this bullshit.
Starting point is 01:14:38 I'm happy if people are happy. Digimon DLC, a hero's eternal legacy coming in 2027, taking place three years after the main game, introducing a new protagonist and partner, along with 50 new Digimon. There's also a phone that turns into a gun. We heard recently that Time Stranger is the most financially successful Digimon project yet.
Starting point is 01:14:55 That's freaking awesome. I love that the franchise keeps finding new life. And yeah, people really, really like this. games are getting more of it. Good for you. Good for you. You got a gun phone. Got a goddamn gun phone, man. Never thought I'd see the day. Then we have conk. Crown of no quarter. Kong felt very out of place here. Yeah. Very out of place. Yeah. It sure did. But it also just didn't look like what I thought it was going to be. And then when I saw, when it eventually kind of did
Starting point is 01:15:28 become what I thought was going to be, I was like, man, this looks rough, dude. Because I see all this. Okay, my first thought was, oh, shit, are they like, because I know First Preserker, that studio was kind of shuttered, but are they doing another one? It kind of reminded me of the art style. And then it was like, oh, we're just doing, we're like doing ship combat stuff. Okay, fascinating.
Starting point is 01:15:49 It feels like there's a lot of genres here with, like, the commanding of troops reminds me of Capcom. Goddess, Way of the Path of the Way. Path of the Goddess. In Tugami. Nizugami. Nizugami. Nail it.
Starting point is 01:16:04 You guys got there. With, like, a lot of elements. I'm not saying, like, it looks similar. But, like, when we see this, I'm like, oh, it's just a boat combat game. But then when you land on the ground, you are then, like, summoning dead bodies to become, like, your kind of army with you. I'm like, there's a lot of just shit happening. I got that dynasty warrior's action. And you could be a bird, Tim?
Starting point is 01:16:26 I'm like a bird. I only fly away. It's just a lot of. The crown of no quarter. Yeah. A lot of. And then... I thought you'd like that!
Starting point is 01:16:39 Greg almost got me here. No, no, that's really happened. I put that in there. He wrote Rhapsody is Baxity. Because they were talking about more Rhapsody here. It was more Rev Noir. So you're getting through, you're getting through it. Rhapsody and Scarlet.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Yep. And then Daba, Land of Water Scards is from the China Hero Project. It's developed by Darkstar Games as part of PlayStation's China Hero Project. Coming to PS5 in spring. A new trailer gives us another look at its fantastical world. where players take on the role of a clayman journeying across the land where the waters have run dry. Keep your eyes on this one.
Starting point is 01:17:11 Look neat. This could be good. Again, this is back to the India Hero project, the China Hero project. I'd love to see PlayStation, any company supporting smaller devs, you know, who are trying to get into this and crack into it.
Starting point is 01:17:21 So I thought, yeah, I thought Daba land of the water scar looked interesting enough. And then Ghost of Yote, we got more of that. We got a deep dive with the Japanese voice actress for Atsu. Real deep dive. Yeah. Yeah, it was like really long.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Yeah. Good for them. That's it. Those are the state of plays. Two state of plays. Back to back to back. Back to back, everybody. Let's get to the super chats.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Super chats. What people had to say throughout the day. Utterly appalling says never got to watch live so I need never get to watch live. So I need to ask, bless Tim or anyone, have you checked out the draft mode in Marvel Snap? It's pretty special. No, but I hear that this has been a nice like draft mode. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:18:02 I mean. What does that mean? What does that mean? Rather than having. all your cars or whatever you're drafting specific. Oh, that's cool. I might check that out, actually. Yeah, online people have been super into it.
