Hello fellow gamers thank you for listening to the multiplayer gaming podcast on thursdays like today we break down recent gaming news over the last week i am your host paul and joining me he's playing star what wars jedi survivor it's josh i'm really dumb sometimes because at first i was like is he max hedrum or right like the and then i was like wait a minute paul's uh he's a ai going on the fritz and then i was like oh

it's jedi survivor he's's stunning. Worm, worm. All right. Oh, man. Josh, let's start by talking about Star Wars. Do we have to? We do. All right. Biggest story of the week.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is here. The wait was not terribly long. Fallen Order is only a couple years old. We now have it. There's no easy way to say it. The launch is pretty much a disaster. There are some people who can play it all right, but we are seeing game-breaking bugs. There are people who have to completely restart the game from scratch. There's some horrific

stuttering issues for people. Even people with top-end PCs with 4090 GPUs are getting 37 frames per second on max settings. Digital Foundry even came out. They've crowned this game the worst PC port of 2023 so far. And that's competing with like Callisto Protocol and some other stuff. Dude, what on earth happened here with Jedi Survivor? EA happened. That's what happened, honestly. I'm going to

blame it on them because I like Respawn and I think Respawn is a good developer, but EA is terrible. So here's the gist of this, right? Jedi Survivor, I'm a huge fan of Fallen Order. I've been hyped for this game. This game came out. i've been very excited about it um i know a lot of other people that have been as well um we are deep diving jedi survivors so we'll have that in a few weeks for you so you can know what the game itself is actually like but we play on pc and the pc i'm gonna call it a port because again i you because, again, I don't think they developed this specifically for PC. More like Port-A-Potty. Oh, my goodness.

It's just bad, man. It's just bad. So this game is insanely unoptimized. I don't want to get too technical, but it it was using like 18 gigabytes of VRAM. Your top end 3080s and 4080s and 4090s like have like 15 gigabytes of RAM on them. And, you know, this was using every bit of that plus some VRAM is like virtual RAM and stuff like that as well. And it should not be doing this. It's not using hardware components like it should. It's maxing out. It's saying, hey, I can't even produce 1440p resolution

with a solid 60 frames a second with the best graphics card that exists. Like literally, the top of our technology cannot play this game better than 60 frames a second. And I just went, dude, not again, man. Come on. Every time we get excited for one of these games, because the game itself looks like a lot of fun, it just comes out and it's broken. We famously ditched deep diving Callisto Protocol because it was so stuttery that we just said no. And I still have not picked up Callisto Protocol. I will not pick up Callisto Protocol. We saw this with Battlefield 2042, where it's just an insane buggy mess. And here we are a year and a half later, and now they're trying to get people back into Battlefield 2042 going, guys, we fixed it. And it's like, no, dude, no, I'm done with this stuff. Now, all that said,

I am one of the lucky few people that is not experiencing a lot of the performance issues. And I hate to be that guy because there's always that one guy that's like, game's running fine for me. That's kind of me this time. And I'm sorry, everybody.

I have a 4K monitor. I was like, I'm going to give it a try at 4K. I know it's probably not gonna work and at 4k with ray tracing on in epic settings which is basically as good as it gets i was getting about 38 to 40 frames a second yeah and i went okay that's like this is not terrible i turned off ray tracing and i am a solid 55 to 59 frames per second across the board. Not bad. I mean, now I know most people are going to be like, yeah, but you're not even getting 60 frames a second.

I'm like, dude, I'm playing at 4K with settings max. I'm okay with that. And I get that I'm the exception to the rule in this case. And I know that sucks for other people that are having issues. And that's not to defend the practice by any means. But I'm just more to say I'm lucky in that I've actually been able to play the game fairly well. But I know a lot of people that are struggling right now. This is just unacceptable. They've got to quit doing this to us, man.

Yeah, so this is like the year of terrible PC ports. And just to correct something I said earlier, I guess Callisto Protocol was December of last year. I think I was getting the release date confused with Dead Space. But yeah, close enough. So, all right, a couple of things here. When we're talking about PC ports more broadly, this is not the first game to do this. We've seen disastrous PC ports so many times already

just in the first four months of the year. Is this just a matter of crunching numbers and they just say, hey, we know if we release an unfinished product, X number of people are going to refund the game, which loses this much revenue, as opposed to spending the next couple months fixing the game, and that's going to cost us more, so we're just going to release the poor game now. That has to be what's going on, right? Or do you think it's something else? I think legitimately that if the game is unreleased, then they have full development squad on this. So literally 300 people that are developing this game are all working on this game. Once the game is released, and then they go, oh, performance

sucks. And EA came out and Respawn came out and said, hey, we see reports that Jedi Survivor is not running optimally for a percentage of people. And we are working diligently to correct that. Our sincere apologies, fools. But I do think, and again, I am not a game developer. So if somebody wants to write in and clarify this for us, by all means. But my thinking is that once the game is released, that you then only have to have four or five guys trying to patch it and fix performance. And you can take the other 200 people and put them on the next project at that point, because the game is not in active development anymore. That's the only way that I can try to make sense of this terrible, terrible trend that we are seeing.

It's such a shame because you and I both love Respawn so much, and I feel like this is hurting their reputation. Fallen Order had issues at launch as well on PC, and this is even somehow worse. And it's just sad to see. Out of curiosity, I did go on Metacritic and take a look at different ratings between users and critics. The critic ratings on this game are, and I'm talking about PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. So critic scores are 86, 87, and 78. 78's for for pc which is actually kind of low but then you look at user

scores it's 4.4 for ps5 4.6 for xbox and i kid you not i just hit refresh it dropped from 1.9 to 1.8 on pc so why are we getting this discrepancy? I will say I watched one video and the reviewer said, I was told this was an older build and it'll be fixed by release. And I think a lot of these reviewers are just assuming I'm going to review this game and I'm going to give every excuse in the world to poor performance and it's probably going to get fixed? Is that why we're getting these discrepancies? I think that's part of it. I think if you are a critic, so to speak, that you are trying to give people an impression of what the game itself is, right? We do game reviews, and it's kind of like, hey, I want to let you know if this game is worth your time and money. And I know that we do kind of assume

in an environment where this game is running, this is how the game is. Do I recommend it to you? Do I not recommend it to you? This is the plot, the combat gameplay, story, visuals, all that stuff. And so I think critics are looking at it like, how is this as a video game? But as gamers, we have to look at it and we have to say, how is this as a video game? But as gamers, we have to look at it and we have to say, how is this as a video game? Well, it's infuriating. And I'll tell you what, I had one example when I was playing Jedi Survivor where I had alt-tabbed out to do something and I went back into the game and apparently that caused either some kind of massive memory leak or something because the game started hitching every like six seconds for me. And I,

it was infuriating, dude. It was the worst thing ever. Now I rebooted and I started up cause I was like, man, I probably jacked up some memory stuff or whatever. And I rebooted. And then I was back to my smooth 55 frames a second at that point. But just that little 60 seconds of this issue made me hate this game for a minute. Like legitimately, because it's so distracting. We play games for escapism. And when your escapism is watching your frames just stutter or hitch or just not run properly, it's like, dude, why?

And the crazy thing that gets me is this game will run smoothly in two weeks. It'll take them two, maybe three weeks to really get everything hitched out where it's like, okay, it's playable now, guys. Why not just delay the game two weeks and have a good launch, right? The Last of Us on PC, famously, I mean, I don't think anybody in the world thought that they would take that franchise and completely mess it up when they ported it to PC. And that was... When did that launch? I feel like it was about a month ago. And I just saw an article that said, hey, most of the performance issues are resolved by Naughty Dog now. And I'm thinking, dude, it's 30 days later. It took you a month to make this game

playable. But here's the kicker, right? And we've said this, don't pre-order games. Wait for reviews. Wait for them to fix it, right? Because that does hurt the bottom line. There's a huge incentive to say, hey, we have all these pre-orders and this purchase price and stuff like that. But at the same time, we're gamers. I'm hyped for Jedi Survivor. I've been looking forward to this game for over a year now, you know? And so it's like, I want to play the game. Am I going to wait to pre-order this massive title

that I've been super excited for? And it's like, I know I should. Like that is the right thing to do. But at the same time, there I am day one, hoping, reading all these performance issues and going, please don't let it be me. And yet I gave them my money. Now we're a podcast. So on the flip side, we have to do that. You know what I mean? But it's like, it's that conundrum of, I want to play this game. I know I shouldn't pre-order it. I know I can wait to play it. God of War, two years after at least on PC,

is just as fun today as it would have been two years ago. That's a bad example because that was a great port. But it's not like games become less fun if you don't play them on launch. And so it's a tough thing to do because we get excited about these things, we want to play them, and then we get disappointed. And I don't know the answer. I know the answer is we'll stop pre-ordering, but I don't know that that's feasible for the majority of people. It might not be. And while we're on the topic of PC ports, we did also get confirmation this week when

Sony had their consolidated earnings report for 2022, they confirmed that they are going to continue rolling out catalog titles for PC, although they did not give any specific titles or any specific timeline. We've already had a slew of Sony games coming to PC. Last couple of years, we've had The Last of Us, which you mentioned, God of War, Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Uncharted, Returnal, Horizon Zero

Dawn. Now, the quality of those ports are kind of all over the place. Some of those were some of the best ports we've seen. Some of them were actually pretty bad. Are you surprised to hear that we're going to keep getting more Sony games on PC? I'm not because, number one, Sony makes great exclusives. And God of War on PC is the best port I've ever seen in my life. And I played it on PlayStation 4, and it was infinitely better on PC, in my opinion. So there was this huge step up for me as somebody that played the original to the PC and just went, Man, this is the way it's done. And there's certain games that I want to be able to play.

And I think the PC market is monstrous, dude. And Sony wants to make money. So of course, they're going to continue to say, hey, now what I don't want to see is the Last of Us type port, right? Where it's like, this port sucks. I would love to see more God of War ports for it. But I mean, it just makes sense to me. In today's day and age, I don't really understand the exclusivity thing anymore. Yeah. I hope Sony is just very smart in who they put in charge. And I know Sony doesn't develop all of their own games, but I hope that these different publishers and developers just choose the right people to port these games because just because they made the base game doesn't mean that they're the ones in charge of porting it. But let's just make sure

that we put it in competent hands with good QA testing. That way we get quality products. You mentioned there's a lot of PlayStation games you'd like to play on PC. Are there any exclusives in particular you'd like them to come out with here soon? Well, one past. Ghost of Tsushima needs to be a PC port, dude. There are so many people that have not played that game. And I cannot think of a game that would port better to PC, especially with the incredible visuals in that game, than Ghost of Tsushima. It is one of the few games that I have played on PlayStation that I would instantly pick up for PC. And I'm not a person to play through games again, but I would pick that up in a heartbeat. I cannot imagine how beautiful that game would be on a good computer.

So that is one where it's like, please let the world experience this game because that game is phenomenal in so many ways. So that would be the one that instantly jumps to mind. I never played Spider-Man. Like in so many ways. So that would be the one that it's like instantly jumps to mind. Um, I never played Spider-Man. I know that's available on PC now. Um, but you know, I,

at some point I'll get around to playing it, but then Spider-Man two comes to mind because that's an upcoming major title. Um, that is a Sony exclusive. And then the last one for me, because I'm really sad about this is final fantasy 16. That's one where I just,

I really wish it was just a simultaneous release to PlayStation and PC at the same time. Because that's a game that I really have a ton of interest in actually picking up and playing. Yeah, it really seems like the new model is just going to be a timed exclusive on PS5. And then we're going to eventually get everything on PC is kind of what it seems like. I know for me, I'd love to see Ghost of Tsushima on PC. It's so beautiful on PS4. I can't imagine running it on a high-scale PC. Bloodborne, I'm surprised we still don't have. I feel like it would perform exceptionally well. We know how much PC players love Elden Ring and the Dark Souls games. I think the one I would

like to see the most is, reaching back a little bit one I would like to see the most is reaching back a little bit. I would love to see the OG God of War trilogy fully remade, bring it out on PC. I feel like eventually maybe we'll get that. I know porting stuff from PS3 is kind of famously a mess, which is why we don't have so many PC ports like Red Dead Redemption 1. But I would love to see the original trilogy remade at some point and brought to PC. Those games hold up, man. They really do. The action and the gameplay in the God of War series, like the originals, I think to this day still holds up. They'd probably have to edit out a few things that maybe aren't current, but haven't aged well. Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, we would like

And with that being said, we're going to take just a short break and we'll be right back okay josh we are back let's move on to our next story of the week and let's talk about the release of a gameplay trailer for armored core 6 fires of rubicon so for people who are

not in the know armored core is actually a very long-running series. It's been around since 1997. And they are third-person shooter mech games that are actually made by From Software, the people who make the Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, Elden Ring games. Yeah. So the last Armored Core game actually released in 2013. So we're looking at a full decade between releases. But now we do get to see some gameplay here of the upcoming game. I was aware of Armored Core as a series. I knew they had a cult following, but it wasn't terribly popular. I never checked it out. I tend to not like mechs in games. It's

rare that I enjoy that. I don't think you ever played any of the Armored Cores. I did not. I'm very familiar with the series, and I know people that have played the series love it. I guess if you like mechs, it puts you in this club where people are like, they're just all about mechs. And they're like, dude, I will play Mech Warrior and Armored core and all this stuff and like i think they're really neat i've just never played an armored core game in my life well now that you saw some gameplay here for the upcoming title what did you think i don't know what to think like i'll be honest because i don't know what the i actually spent some time this morning watching some gameplay from the previous armored core games just to try to get an idea of like

what why are people losing their minds because there are some people that are very very excited about this announcement and actually seeing some gameplay and stuff like that and i'm watching this trailer and i'm going like it's from software so it's gonna have difficult combat but it should be really good combat and i'm watching this stuff and i'm just kind of going, like, I don't get it, man. What am I missing as far as the hype level goes? And then I started watching this breakdown from a guy that loves this series and he's kind of pointing out some things. And it's like, okay, I think I'm starting to understand. And who doesn't want to pilot this giant mech suit that can have rocket salvos and cool Gatling guns and stuff like that. I'm just, I guess I need to play it to see, to be honest, because this might be like,

I can't believe I've been missing this my whole life. But from the trailer, I'm just not picking up what the hype is, I guess. Yeah. When I watched it, what I initially wrote down is there's something off with this but i i don't know what it's the glidiness of the mechs dude to me a little bit that really bugged me is it and i get that they're literally flying you know what i mean but it was like it was almost like the ground didn't exist and they were ice skating like back and there was something about either the animation or like the acceleration and just there was there was something about either the animation or the acceleration. There was. There was something off and I can't put my finger on it.

I think a little bit of it is that. And I think also is that even though we're seeing these giant stages and giant structures, everything's kind of empty. You don't see those big fights where you're fighting multiple things. It's like, here's a giant flat platform that has nothing on it, and it's just you and your mech, and there's one enemy that they're fighting. And so maybe there's more to the game that we'll see later, but this just seemed like a very empty space, and all of it put together just seemed a little off. I'm going to be totally honest. If this wasn't made by From Software, I don't think we'd be talking about it. I would not care in the least. I will say, because of the last decade with From Software, they have earned my trust to

a certain extent. And they did say now that they have their success and their finances, this is going to be a reboot of Armored Core. And this is the mech game that they always wanted to make but couldn't so because of that i'm a little bit interested but i'm gonna say my hype meters like a four and a half out of ten like i'll check it out but i'm not expecting this to to do much for me it i'm not really excited about it but again i'm not a i'm not an Armored Core fan. I've not played the series. And if you are, I get it. And I want to be hyped with you. But it would not surprise me if this game winds up

being fantastic. You know what I mean? As far as the combat and the way that you approach things, the loadouts that you can get. Because I understand you can customize your mech with arms, legs, torsos, generators, and all this stuff. So you can literally build out the way you want to play. And I can see a world where it's like, dude, I can't believe I've been missing this my whole life. This game is fantastic. I just don't have any experience with it. I don't know... I don't have expertise with this game or the series. So I don't have the hype there, but I can see a world where it's like, dude, this is great. I can't believe I've been missing this. So I'm hoping we'll start to see a lot more because

it is set for release on August 25th, only a couple months down the road. I think it's safe to say we probably won't deep dive this one, but I would never say never. If we start seeing stuff that gets us hyped, then great. We're more than happy to add it in, or if reviews are good. Yeah, there's just something weird here. I don't know how to describe it, but nothing in this gameplay trailer I found interesting other than some of the effects looked kind of neat. I'm with you, though. That's not like a lot of praise. I'm with you, and I still can't figure out why. But yeah, maybe it was just the trailer just wasn't that great. Yeah.

Well, I hate being so negative on so many things. But let's move on to the next story, Josh. Maybe this one will change the atmosphere of the show. All right, we're all familiar with Funko Pops, right? How many Funko Pop figures do you own, Josh? You have at least a couple. One, two, three, four, five, Funko Pop figures do you own, Josh? You have at least a couple. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. I have 11.

Okay. Yeah, my kids love them. Those were all gifted to me for the most part too. Yeah, my kids love them. Their room is littered with tons of Funko Pops. I looked up the numbers. I was curious of how many they sell in any given year. It's a billion-dollar industry. Oh my goodness. So I looked up their fiscal year that just recently ended, and it was $1.3 billion in revenue. So it makes sense to me that they're enormously successful. They're sitting on this amazing brand.

And they're probably thinking, how else can we make money with Funko Pops? And we have that answer. They are making a video game. It is called Funko Fusion. We got a teaser trailer this week. It doesn't show very much, but what kind of game do you think this is going to be? Oh, this is a thousand percent a Lego game with Funko Pop skins. See, that's kind of what i initially thought but there are things here that don't really fit that model because lego games are very casual they're very kid friendly i would say they're actually more designed for children but with the funko pops

because it covers so many different ips like this has like like like there's a there's a whole horror element this has throwbacks to back to the future jurassic park like there's a there's a whole horror element this has throwbacks to back to the future jurassic park like there's a lot of pop culture to it for sure yeah but this has like all of a sudden they just show chucky pull out a knife and like stab toward the screen and we see the thing but it's a cute chucky paul it's not really it's a toy thing come on is it sean of the dead like that's how the trailer starts, is Shaun of the Dead. Kids don't know what Shaun of the Dead is. So I was super confused because it looks like Lego-type gameplay.

It actually was made by the Lego devs, or the devs that made at least one of the Lego games. I got straight-up Lego vibes from this. I'll be honest. This trailer didn't do a thing for me because I don't really like the Lego games. I like games that have a challenge. And to me, the Lego games are just as chill as could be. And I've played a couple of them. I just don't enjoy them, man.

But you get why kids would play. I 100% understand why people love it and why to some people, the Lego games are fantastic. I'm not trying to slander the Lego games themselves themselves but i i definitely got that vibe from this right like i don't think i mean i know there are some adults that love the lego games but by and large i think for most people they enjoy playing it with their partner or they enjoy playing it with their kids like it tends to be a co-op experience i don't know who's going to play this game because it seems really casual, but then you get a lot of horror elements. They only really highlight five or six properties, and half of them are straight up horror movies. I don't know who this game's being made for. I

don't get it at all. Lego games, they're going to sell a million copies to kids. I don't know what this game is or who it's being marketed to. I don't get it whatsoever. Yeah, I'll be honest. I'm not really sure because are you trying to tie like me and you where we're going to buy it?

We're going to play it for the Back to the Future and Jurassic Park references. But then, you know, my kids are a little bit older, but I'm not playing this with my six-year-old if Chucky's murdering people

and the thing is face-eating people and stuff like that. Yeah, it's just weird. Yeah, but they didn't actually show any gore. So maybe it's just the characters themselves, but they made it seem like it's going to be a little scary in that regard. Like they're playing into that. But then they did show a little bit of gameplay. That part is where I got the Lego vibes from because it's like, carry this item over, put it in the socket and a door opens up and then you run through kind of thing. This feels like they're just trying to capitalize again.

You kind of touched on it when you introed the story where it's just like, how can we make some more money, guys? Let's make a video game. game yeah it doesn't seem like they had a great idea of a game and let's make it it seems like it's driven the other way around i will say i'm pretty impressed with how funko pops translate into video games though because the gameplay they showed looked pretty crisp the graphics were spot on and they look like funko pops like even the little funko helicopters flying around i was like that's a Funko pop helicopter. Like they nailed the aesthetic for sure. Yeah. This one's very odd.

We're going to have to just see what else they come out with down the road. All right. And we're just about out of time here, Josh, but last story of the week, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an upcoming game that has been attracting some buzz. I've seen a lot of articles written about it lately.

It is set for release on August 18th, and it is going to be available day one on game pass games i know right a lot of august yeah and uh along with your uh balder's gate three pick right yeah you're darn right it's mine so texas chainsaw massacre it's an asymmetrical online horror game so this is made in the mold of like friday the 13th dead by daylight that kind of gameplay. The only real twist to this one is that it's 3v4 instead of like a 1v5 kind of situation. I don't know.

I don't really care a whole lot about this one either. I hate to say it. I don't care about any of these stories. They're all bad. Give us good news. Yeah, I mean, I like good news. But, you know, sometimes we got to tell people the bad news too. To me, I don't know what you do in this genre to make it interesting. We've played Dead by Daylight. I remember when Friday the 13th was coming out that a couple of my friends were so

amped for that game that they were just like, oh my goodness, have you seen this? And I watched the trailer and went, oh, that looks kind of neat. These games just don't work for me. And I know that there's people that love them, but they're just... I like the idea of asymmetrical games, but every one that I've ever played just doesn't work. Evolve was famously a giant monster one where a squad of four or five people would hunt this monster that could evolve. And I thought the premise was really neat. I played it. It just didn't work.

Dead by Daylight didn't work for me. I never played Friday the 13th, but at that point, I'm kind of like, I just don't think I like the genre. Now, the 3v4, maybe, because you're almost even teams at that point, and I like teamwork, but they just keep trying.

It's like, guys, Friday the 13th made us a little bit of money, but the game had no staying power. So what can we do now? Like, oh, let's do Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And then that one's not going to work. So then they're going to go, let's do Halloween or something like that. I just, I don't know, man. I don't want to sound like a downer, but this doesn't interest me either. Yeah. They just keep picking a different movie and hoping that one will strike big. I just, I don't know, man. I don't want to sound like a downer, but this doesn't interest me either. Yeah, they just keep picking a different movie and hoping that one will strike big. I mean, Dead by Daylight was very successful. Oh, it was huge.

Yeah. Tons of people still play it. But yeah, I've watched a fair amount of footage of this. It seems like an awful lot of sneaking around in circles and running in circles. And you've got three killers and four victims and it's a lot of like well the killer's chasing that person but now if i go behind the killer i can stun them for a couple seconds i don't know it just isn't my thing but if that sounds like your kind of genre

that you enjoy i'm sure this is on your radar uh pretty safe to say i don't think this one will be a deep dive either but we're getting more and more info i will say being on on game pass is the perfect way to play this kind of game don't pay for this game just pick up game pass for a month that's probably all the time you'll need to play this dabble in some other stuff and then either cancel game pass or hang on to it this is a great game pass game i guess i that's all i'm trying to say that makes sense that's perfect it's it's a good distraction if you already are paying for Pass, this is definitely one that you could pick up and play for a weekend or two days and then be like, okay, cool. I tried it. That's the perfect situation for a game like this, in my opinion. And honestly, if I had Game Pass, I might try it,

but there's just no way I am ever going to be like, oh yeah, I'm paying $40 for this game. I hope I can play it for the next four months. Yeah. All right. Well, that wraps up this week in gaming.
