I am your host, Paul, and joining me as always, I think right now he's sorting through all of these games coming up for release, drowning in available gaming content from Gamescom this week. And I think, like me, he just doesn't know how he's supposed to fit in all of these games into his schedule. It's Josh. It is a good problem to have, Paul.

It is. I don't think that people realize, listening, that there are times where it's a little stressful, man. Yeah. You and I have occasionally gone like, dude, we have this game that we're in the middle of playing. We have this game that's coming up that we told people we're going to review. We have this new release that we really want to be able to dive into. Oh, and by the way, I still love playing Overwatch and Rocket League in my

spare time. Oh, but this big release is coming up. So we should probably look into that one a little bit so we can talk about like it's man, it's tough being a professional, Paul, a lot of it's the time of year because in those winter months in particular in preparation for Christmas, you always have a whole bunch of huge, you know,

game releases. And there is just so much to talk about this week. Like I mentioned, we had games calm where we got to see some new announcements. We have a lot of games coming out before the end of the year. And we do also have some games that did get pushed back that are coming out in early 2022. And so I think we just have so much stuff to cover in the next few months. It's definitely a little overwhelming, but at least I'd rather have that problem than the other, where there's a huge drought and there's nothing to play.

That's very true. And there are some mega games coming up that I'm very pumped about. I mean, we might just be the Battlefield 2042 podcast for like a month, you know, and then the Halo Infinite podcast for like a month. It's I mean, it's possible, but we'll see. All right. So for this episode here, we are releasing this on a Thursday, which means it's This Week in Gaming. These are our Twig episodes. We normally talk a little bit about what we've been playing in our spare time and then talk about gaming news.

This week, there's just been so much content. I think we'll just go straight into news. And I think we're just going to kind of pare it down to four upcoming games. And I think that'll probably take up the half hour here, but there has just been so much to come out of this week, and so I thought we'll just go through these four games in order of release. So the first one that I wanted to talk about here is a game that is definitely right up my alley.

It's a game called Martha is Dead, which, by the way, is a great title. I'm already sucked in. I already want to know. Who's Martha? What happened? It's a game called Martha is Dead, which, by the way, is a great title. I'm already sucked in. I already want to know. Who's Martha? What happened? Why is she dead?

Why is she dead? Exactly. And this one is set for release later this year. It is funny to me that we don't have an exact date because there's only three months left of 2021. But it is supposed to come out before the end of the year. This is a psychological horror game, which i know is right up our alley love those kind of horror games yep and this one takes place back in 1944 italy during world war ii but do you want to tell the people a little bit about this one number one i mean there's horror games like out out last outcast which one is it i can't remember

but it's outlast right yeah yeah so there's like horror games like that where they're just very gory and kind of scary there's your phasmophobia which is the supernatural stuff um but every now and then you get these psychological horror games which are my absolute favorite anytime you're messing with somebody's head that's really the way to go in my opinion um and so when this one came up i was very intrigued right away uh the the only thing that's very strange is the gameplay demo that went along with like the write-up told me absolutely nothing it was a lady that was developing film in a dark room, and that was it. And this article is going on to tell you how scary this is. It's in 1944, Italy, World War II, and it's this girl trying to make sense of stuff.

But the whole time I'm watching this video, and I'm like, what does this photography have to do with any of this? It was very confusing. But you had found some more gameplay that you had linked to me, which actually showed some of the walking around and the atmosphere of the game and stuff like that. And it's definitely creepy looking. It was a very small snippet, so it's kind of hard to glean a lot of info from that. Yeah, so we've only seen so much but basically long story short is that you play a younger girl named julia who discovers the dead body of her twin sister martha so you can already tell this game is going to be very dark content wise i mean it's a horror game anyway you would kind of expect

it so it definitely has some heavy subject matter basically, the game will dive into how that loss is affecting Julia, because she's the one who discovers the body. So it's very traumatic. But then also, at the same time, you're going to uncover the mysteries of what happened to her, what's going on with this family. We know that there's going to be some weird family dynamics from the write-ups that we've seen. I do have one quote here that I thought

was really interesting. So this is from Liana Rupert, who wrote an article for Game Informer. But tell me what you think about this. In this tale, the lines between war, reality, and the supernatural are blurred beyond recognition, and the human mind is explored in a beautifully terrifying way. While the pacing is meant to be drawn out with a suspense that makes the situation feel real, there are moments rooted in decision-making where quick thinking is needed, with instances designed to make you feel like you don't know which way is up and which way is hell. The design elements attached to this particular storytelling style left me feeling on the edge of my seat in a way that pushed me to want to see what would happen next. It urged me to uncover the secrets of what happened to Martha and attempt to unravel the

grief-stricken mind of her sister. That's some good storytelling right there. That's some good writing right there, man. I love these kind of games because if they do the pacing right, you get some gameplay, and then you get some horror, and then you kind of games because if they do the pacing right, you get some gameplay and then you get some horror and then you kind of get freaked out. But then it calms down and it goes back to exploration or the storytelling part of it. And you get kind of enveloped in that. And then there's these little moments of the scariness. You know what I mean? Sometimes horror is better served if it's not very in your face, which is why I really like the psychological horror games because you get just these moments that kind of blow your mind or really creep you out, but it's not so much that it makes you numb to it. And that's pretty key, in my opinion.

And so I'm looking forward to this one because I love a good story-based game that's kind of like laid back. I've mentioned Edith Finch and Firewatch and stuff like that, you know, just kind of like laid back. I've mentioned, you know, Edith Finch and Firewatch and stuff like that, where you can kind of walk around at your own pace and discover things, but you get these moments that really stick with you. And if you can do that in a horror type game, all the better. Yeah. I think this style of horror game is definitely right up my alley. Phasmophobia, not so much. The supernatural stuff I can find interesting. When it's just like ghosts writing in a book, it's kind of hard for me to feel fully invested in that kind of...

It just seems a little silly to me on the surface, so it's hard for me to get drawn in. If it's a game like this where your character is not sure what's real and whether or not they actually saw something and you're questioning whether or not you're losing your mind and it's dark and twisted and you've got these twists and turns this is very much more up my alley i can't wait to get my hands on this one this is exactly what i'm looking for from the genre and this one does not look like an interactive movie it definitely has more gameplay I know when you were watching some of the gameplay, I was in Discord with you. And even you got kind of excited when a ghost

comes out and grabs the main character and stuff like that. There's some freaky parts in it already, which is good. Photography plays a big part in this game. I'm not sure how they're going to develop that. But there's a couple times where they showed you using a camera and you had to focus in on an object and have the right lighting and the framing and stuff like that. So I'm not really sure about that part of it. Maybe that's one of the ways that they use to tell the story and maybe you discover stuff through the photos that you take. But yeah, I am very intrigued in this one. It's hard to find good horror games that aren't just like bloody gory and that kind of stuff. And I'm very curious to see where this thing ends up.

Yeah, absolutely. All right, well, let's jump into our second game here. I think this one is... You're probably a little bit more excited about it than me. But we have Elden Ring, which we have mentioned on the show. This one is set to come out on january 21st of 2022 and game and far away i know i know it sucks we gotta wait five five months for this one i guess so game informer had an article and it was almost more like a podcast

almost where they said that they got their hands on 15 minutes of gameplay but they could not show it but they went back through the old trailers and talked about the experience of what they played what they saw what those things actually mean and so we already know a little bit about this game this is the one that's the collaboration with uh mitataka miyazaki and george rr martin and this is like the dark souls bloodborne style gameplay but what stuck out from this preview that you found interesting so elden ring looks huge there was a big leak about it before the game was even officially announced people have been tracking this for a while this seems to be the spiritual successor to the Dark Souls series. There's even people that have tied in some of

the things in Dark Souls 2 and 3 to this game. And so they feel like you've made it to the next world. But the collaboration is what's getting a lot of the attention there. But this is being kind of hailed as Dark Souls, but with an open world feel, which is very intriguing. Because that's one of the things about Dark Souls is it's always been very, like, I don't want to say claustrophobic, because it does take place in some open environments. But the paths that you have to take are all pretty set. You know, you feel like you're moving from point A to point B to get through a certain level to the next area or something like that, from one bonfire to the next. And in this game, they're touting the open world aspect of it. And one of the things that they were talking about is in the gameplay footage that they showed, you see these huge ogre troll-looking things that have these chains hooked into their back,

and they're hauling this big cart behind them, and they have guards around them and stuff like that. Well, in this preview, what they were saying is you can actually attack those caravans out in the open world. And they were saying you actually should because there's some really good gear inside the carts, but you can't just go up and start wailing on these things because you'll get wrecked. So what they were saying is they will eventually stop, and they'll kind of form like a camp or a perimeter. And then you can use like sleep darts and things like that to try to knock out some of the guards so that you can then fight the people that are left and loot this cart, which sounds incredible. I mean, you know, that sounds like a normal RPG type thing to do, but in the vein of Dark Souls and that type of combat and that type of environment, this is all new.

And so that's very, very interesting to somebody like me that loves the Dark Souls series. And then they were also mentioning that, hey, if you want that true Dark Souls flavor, don't worry. We have these, not epic dungeons, but I forget what they call them, but they have these... Legacy dungeons. Legacy dungeons. There you go. Thank you. Yeah, exactly. And they were saying that is, you know, these legacy dungeons are what you expect from Dark Souls. These have your fog doors and your big bosses and you have to make your way through and fight the trash mobs and stuff like that. So, you know, I've been hungry for a good Dark Souls type game.

I actually loaded up Dark Souls 3 a month ago, started playing it, and then just went like, yeah, as much as I love this game, I don't have the time right now to try to slog through this again and relearn all the combat and that kind of stuff. So I'm pretty pumped for Elden Ring. I know it's probably not up your alley, but this is one that I'm really looking forward to because I feel like it's taking the Dark Souls formula and it's enhancing it while not changing it so much that it doesn't feel like Dark Souls anymore. Yeah, it's interesting that we have this whole push for games that have historically not been open world to suddenly be open world. We've got that with Elden Ring. We're going to have that with Halo.

I still don't really have any idea how an open world Halo is going to work, but I'm curious to find out. You and I have talked about how much we love open world mechanics, so the idea of attacking these caravans filled with treasure sounds really neat. Discovering the dungeons and running through those is pretty neat. One thing that they did also mention is that a major part of the combat is summoning creatures. So they had mentioned that you can summon like trolls, goblins, humanoids, and then they basically fight with you. And so he was kind of saying that when sometimes in Dark Souls or Bloodborne, it's easy to maybe end up, you know, running and getting aggro of like 10 mobs at once, and then you just kind of get overwhelmed. Here, you can actually summon a couple creatures to fight with you and kind of

even those odds. So you can like focus on stealth mechanics, you can jump into the combat and summon creatures. I thought that was all really neat. I think the one thing that really surprised me is that if you do play with friends, because you can have up to two people join your game, nobody can mount if you play co-op. Yeah, that's a little strange. So everyone has to run on foot, which sounded really odd to me. I don't know why, but maybe it'll make sense once we play it. It might be. I know that fast travel is in the game as well. And one of the kind of nice things is because another fault with Dark Souls is you have to run everywhere you want to go. And that means clearing out the trash mobs again. And in Elden Ring, they're saying that if you are out in the open world,

you can fast travel from anywhere at any time. You don't have to try to get to a bonfire or a checkpoint or something like that. So it sounds like they're keeping the hardcore combat and the boss fights and the stuff that people love, but they're also adding that open world element, but at the same time, adding some convenience factors like fast travel, which is great, right? Nobody likes arbitrary difficulty. That's my main complaint with New World, right? Honestly, it's like, why do you make me spend 15 minutes running to somewhere? Like, yes, I love your world.

It's beautiful, but I don't want to spend 15 minutes on every quest doing that. Like that gets old really quick. So I get like the first time you go somewhere, like, hey, we want you to run through the world and get there. But once I discover an area,

take the headache out of it. Let me just fast travel to where I want to go at that point. And like, that's good. And it seems like they're following that kind of thought process. Yeah, I feel like so many games will just artificially drive up their playtime by making you run around. And I got to give credit to my game, Mass Effect. Even Mass Effect 1 had like 15 fast travels just within the Citadel. So it's like, even if I don't want to run from one side of this part of the map to the other, I can still immediately teleport

around. So yeah, that kind of quality of life stuff is so important for open world because nothing gets old quicker than needlessly running back and forth. I'll say this too, since you mentioned open world with Halo Infinite coming up and Elden Ring and stuff like that. Please don't copy the Ubisoft formula. I get that Ubisoft really pioneered this and they have mastered it, but Far Cry and some of these other games, Assassin's Creed, you got to climb the tower to unveil stuff. There's these forts that you have to take over, and then now they act like spawn locations and stuff like

that. Like, it's just... It's been done enough, and it's been done so many times in the same way that it's getting old. So I really, really hope that, like, Halo Infinite... I feel like Elden Ring's just a different of enough game that it probably won't copy that formula, hopefully.

But, like, don't do that. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's been done in every Far Cry and every Assassin's Creed game. Just change it. Please don't copy Ubisoft in that regard. Make it something new. Make it something fresh.

And I'll be happy. Yeah, I feel like we're kind of due for some breakthroughs with open world mechanics, and we'll see who's able to maybe bring in that new genius idea, and that way we can play something a little bit new and fresh. Yeah, I hope so. All right, well, let's go ahead and take a short break to hear from one of our sponsors. All right, Paul, you know we love our listeners. So it's time to help them out.

All right, Josh, we've talked about Martha is Dead and Elden Ring. The next game that we have up on the docket is a game that was announced at Gamescom, and Saints Row is getting a full reboot, and this one's just going to be called Saints Row. They're kind of going the God of War route.

Let's make this super confusing by having, you just the baseline title and this is going to come out in february 2022 have you played any saints row games josh i was gonna say paul i have a confession i have never played saints row oh okay at all you don't really know what you're missing i don't know what i'm missing at all i've heard their bananas i've heard they're very over the top um i have heard their kind of grand theft auto ish in like the open world city kind of do whatever you want whenever you want kind of thing with like obviously overarching missions and stuff like that um so i didn't get real excited at first because i'm like yeah i've never played the series whatever but then i watched the the cinematic trailer that they had for this game.

And it's... Dude, I'm going to say this right now. Saints Row is the Fast and Furious of video games. Oh, that's fair. Sure. This was nothing but just over-the-top characters. Some guy on a motorcycle wearing a Deadmau5 helmet. And then just being snarky. And of course, getting away with some situation

that would never happen. All of his friends are in some convertible car that they steal right out from under the people. There's this crazy chase explosion scene that happens. They're driving on rooftops and spinning around and all this. And I'm just thinking, this is Fast and the Furious. This is the over-the-top, absolutely insane action sequences that are so far from realistic that it's ridiculous, and yet you can't help but just enjoy them at the same time. Okay, it's so funny to hear you talk about how unrealistic this gameplay seems, because do you know why they had to reboot Saints Row? Do you know what happens in the storyline? I read the article, Paul, and I have not played any of these.

But when the article starts off with, spoiler alert, you actually wind up being the ruler of the galaxy in one of these games. They're like, where can you go but down? Okay, let me give you a couple highlights from Saints Row 4. Ready? You get elected president of the United States. Now, keep in mind, you are a gang leader who engages in chop shops and smuggling drugs, and you get elected president.

The Earth gets invaded by aliens. The aliens put you into a simulation software to try to break your will but instead almost like neo from the matrix you develop all these superhero powers so in saints row 4 you literally have superhero powers and then you end up taking over the alien empire and then depending on how many side missions you've done either you figure out time travel technology to put the Earth back in the way it was, or you just sail off to go conquer a new planet. You had to reboot it because you literally cannot get... You can't go anywhere from there.

That's as high as it gets. I've never played these games, but I love them already. I'll be honest with you. I need to check these out. I think Saints Row 3 is free right now on Epic Game Store, right? Now, can you play them if you know nothing about the series whatsoever? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay, so they don't tie into each other.

Okay, because this sounds like my kind of bananas. Like, honestly, a game where there's alien invasions, I get to rule the galaxy. It's just the people that come up with this stuff, you just have to laugh. parody and it's literally going to be in outer space and aliens and time travel and simulations. I love it. I think it's very funny. It's not as prestigious as Grand Theft Auto, obviously, but you just have to know that going in. They're very goofy, but they're highly memorable. I also remember, I don't remember which Saints Row it was, but I remember it was the first time that character creation just let me go full bonkers mode, where I had this seven foot six woman who wore clown makeup and weighed 600 pounds. And you get that in all the cut scenes and in all the interactions. And I just remember laughing, thinking it was the funniest thing in the world because you just look so out of place

in these games when you're you know dressed and outfitted like that but yeah i'm very excited that they're rebooting saints row it does seem like they have really reigned it in it's gonna be just confined to this area which is inspired by the american southwest it's our backyard it looks an awful lot like New Mexico, Arizona, where we live. Yeah. So we got Sancero coming up here next February. I love that they're saying, hey, we're raining this back because we have to kind of start back there. And yet at the same time, them raining it back, our cars jumping off of roofs, spinning around, stealing a car full of weapons right out from the noses

of the gangsters. I mean, if this is reigned in, that sounds crazy to me. This is as far from reigned in as I think I've seen in a game trailer. Yeah. And it's funny how quickly they got there. It was only four Saints Row games to hit that. Fast and Furious, they've kind of gradually become superheroes. They literally do go into space in Fast and Furious 9. I don't know where they go from here. I mean, that's like the joke with improv comedy. Once you go to space, there's nothing higher. There's nowhere else to go. But yeah, row i love it's definitely right up my alley just in how how funny it is they definitely just poke fun at all things gta and they it also is chock full of celebrity cameos all kinds of stuff like that which is great and then uh our final game here

we're going to talk a little bit about lego skywalker saga This one does not have a release date, but they are saying probably spring 2022. What do you think about this one? Paul, I have another confession. I don't like any of the Lego games. I'm not crazy for them either. I have seen gameplay. I feel like I have been at a friend's house and taken the controller and like played for like 10 minutes. And then I just go like, yeah, the game mechanics are very simple. I don't get the whole Lego aspect. I didn't play with Legos as a kid. So like the whole Lego thing is lost on me. And so I don't like Lego games. And I know that they take all of these huge pop culture things like Batman and Star Wars and Indiana Jones and Avengers. And they do all that,

which I love all that stuff. So you think that it would tie in that I would enjoy these games, but I just don't. I've never gotten into any of them. So when I saw this Lego, the Skywalker saga, I was like, oh, another Lego game. Okay, whatever. But then I started watching the footage on this and this game looks legit. Like color me interested in a Lego game for the first time ever. Because it takes from Episode 1 all the way to Rise of Skywalker, and all of them are tied in. All of the characters are there. That classic Lego humor is there, which I do get a kick out of. I mean, that does make me chuckle. But there's space combat scenes in this. There's lightsaber duels. There's just little story parts where you're looking around and exploring and stuff. And so I'm a huge Star Wars fan. And I don't know if the gameplay is going to hold up, but the trailer looks mighty,

mighty good on this. So what about you? I know that you like Star Trek better than Star Wars, and everything is forgivable, Paul. So don't feel bad for that. The full quote that I've always said is, if you want a popcorn action movie, Star Wars is better. If you're looking for a human dramatic story, Star Trek is where you want to be. But anyway, I love them both. Now, the Lego games, I have played a lot, way more than I would care to, mostly because of my time when I was working

at a boys group home several years ago. You know, we could play video games, but they had to be like rated E. And so a lot of times they would come down to be Lego games. And we would play a lot of the original Batman and Star Wars Lego games. And they're not terribly difficult, right? I mean, you basically, you have unlimited lives. You just run through it. It's incredibly casual. I think it's fun to go through it with your kids. It's very charming. They add their own little jokes into these pop culture references. This, I looked at the trailer and I was like, I've already played episodes one through six. I'm assuming they have Lego episode seven through nine. I haven't played that. But to me, it just kind of felt like, well, I've already been there, done that. So I'm not really interested in picking it up. If my kids wanted to and asked me to, I'd pop in and play with them here and again.

It's fun co-op stuff, but I don't know. It didn't seem to really offer anything new compared to what's already out. See, I haven't played the other one, so I don't have that comparison. I do know that if a game is too easy, it's an instant turn off for me. I need some challenge. If there's no challenge whatsoever, it doesn't matter how great the game is. I will lose interest very, very quickly. And so with the Lego games, I don't know, are they making them intentionally easy to appeal to the broadest market possible? Yes.

Because if they are, even if it's Star Wars wars and even if it looks amazing i will have zero interest in something like that which it makes me a little sad because the game like the graphics look great the game looks great they do a very very good job in the trailer of make like sucking you into that star wars universe and maybe that's what i was feeling but if it's just super easy collect these little lego pieces you know like i don't get into the collection stuff anymore like you remember like the old like ukulele and banjo kazooie and stuff we had to run around the level and find like the 10 gold coins yes that just doesn't do it for me anymore yeah i'm 100% with you i think it was gta 4 they had where you had to find like 50 coins in the open world city

and it was like impossible to try to do just don't... Spyro the Dragon, Sonic, some of these old games where the whole point of the game was just run around the level and collect stuff, I have zero interest in that stuff anymore. It used to be great, honestly, but that's not what interests me anymore. And I feel like the Lego games might be that. But again, I just don't have enough knowledge to do it but they've never drawn me in before i did think this trailer looked amazing so maybe maybe it'll be the first well you get nine for one so it's literally the whole saga and the best part of the lego games honestly i've just always found it hysterical when you shoot someone with like a laser or whatever they call the pistols blasters blaster thank you like you shoot them with like a laser or whatever they call the pistols.

Blasters. Blaster. Thank you. Like you shoot them with a blaster and they just explode into Lego pieces and then they just like fall into a little pile on the floor. There is something really funny and charming about that that that is very satisfying. All right. Well, Josh, that's about all that we have time for here today. So thank you so much for joining us for this week in gaming.
