Somebody help this guy please at least just so we don't have to
3:16
listen to any more me. Golly, I'm outta here.
3:21
I'm not worried about it. I'm not worried about it's been
3:25
a busy month. Yeah, I'd like that.
3:29
We've had plenty of really cool games for me.
3:31
Personally, it's been System Shock remake done by Night, dive
3:35
studio, and it's been Diablo for Wow, both of these games have
3:41
really shown that games can come out in a non broken fucked up
3:45
State? Yeah, absolutely.
3:48
And also from apogee, you had bread in Fred the new co-op
3:52
fucking Adventure. Where your two penguins trying
3:55
to fucking do puzzles together with your friends only need to
3:59
play that? I like, I know, I know apogee,
4:02
great people, they support the show after we did that interview
4:05
with Scott Miller and they plug us, and they love us now and I
4:08
love them. Thank you guys so much.
4:09
Watch for plugging us that is like a childhood dream of mine
4:12
actually like a pudgy and 3D Realms, Scott Miller and all
4:15
them like pretty functions here. Achieve one of my dreams.
4:19
Yes, Button Off The Bucket List games are coming out and they're
4:23
proving that they can come out on fucked and that makes me
4:26
happy. Which means saying, yeah.
4:29
Oh, I'm sorry. Little you guys out of the games
4:33
recently that I think we played with, in the past three months
4:35
that have come out, steal our Diablo, you played System, Shock
4:41
which came out running really well for you dead.
4:43
I don't do to me. Ran fantastic for everybody.
4:46
I think a lot of people had a great performance Resident Evil
4:49
4. Oh yeah, the Outlast trials.
4:52
Oh yeah. And Starships another Starship
4:55
Troopers. It was really good that I was
4:57
trying. I think something else, but my
4:58
mind kept going to Survivor and I was like, that's the exact
5:01
opposite of smooth launch. Sadly fiber, that's a weird.
5:06
Didn't it does again like that is a case-by-case thing.
5:10
That shouldn't be a thing, it really sure you were fine in
5:13
certain parts and I was completely unable to get through
5:17
it at like a stable framerate it.
5:20
Excuse me, it's inexcusable, but yeah, for sure.
5:23
But like, yeah, no, we've had a good lunch for a lot of games.
5:26
Yeah, yeah, I will force. I'm shocked Fred and Fred, I
5:29
know which I would assume as an easier game to get to launch,
5:33
right? Like it's not as intensive as
5:36
you start ones but still games are coming out finished.
5:39
They're coming out working. As you look at Diablo like
5:43
System Shock, I love because it's a single-player experience.
5:45
I don't have to be in the Discord with you guys.
5:48
I can yeah. Fuck off on my own and play
5:50
System Shock and really dive into Citadel station by myself
5:53
and I love that Diablo, I expected to be fucked up.
5:57
Up? Because it's blizzard because
5:59
it's Activision and it's a massive online thing.
6:03
So I expected it to be fucked up and it's just not, right?
6:07
So yeah for that to happen in this day and age is very rare
6:10
and I'm very, very excited, but that leads me into this.
6:16
Today's episode is about the summer games Fest.
6:20
And I will say, I didn't think it was terrible.
6:25
Like, I see a lot of people All online, really crying about it
6:30
honestly crying about all the fucking conferences that we've
6:33
had because Evan and I watched Xbox today.
6:36
We watched Garfield direct Starfield direct which spoiler
6:41
was fantastic. That'll be its own episode.
6:44
It has to be right. Yeah, I loved it honestly and I
6:48
hate I hate saying that because I'm not really a huge.
6:53
I'm a fan of Bethesda games and what they publish as well and
6:55
also what they make but I just don't Don't trust them anymore,
6:59
like, I used to sew and that's how she was.
7:02
When we saw like when we saw her little gameplay of it, right?
7:05
You know, it got some some backlash, you know, it was
7:08
especially and boring. Yeah, the comment look just like
7:12
Fallout and, you know, had that same pace and style and tone.
7:16
And what we saw today was all I'll say now is completely
7:20
different. Don't want to spoil the episode.
7:22
Yeah, no, we won't spoil the episode but you haven't hit it
7:24
on the head. It was pretty much a Not a
7:28
completely different game but it was damn, close, combat wise.
7:31
And that was a very big sticking point with me, where I was like,
7:34
oh, what the fuck is this like Joe Pesci?
7:37
What the fuck is this piece of shit and why I could see but
7:42
yeah, we're going to my summer game Fest.
7:43
We're going to kind of rifle through it.
7:46
It's gonna be a shorter episode leading into some big episodes
7:48
coming up, but we want to get through the main event, which
7:51
was summer game Fest as fast as we can, because the main event
7:56
was the charting course in my opinion to Xbox and Start real
8:03
direct. So summer game, Fest opened up
8:07
with Prince of Persia the Lost crown.
8:10
That was something I didn't have checked off on my 2023, Bingo
8:14
list and video games. I'm very happy to see this
8:16
franchise back though. In the way, it's coming back as
8:19
a side-scrolling action combat game, the art style.
8:23
I personally liked, Brody. We stole your notes in Brody's
8:27
notes. He he didn't like the art style.
8:30
I like the art style. What does Think, before we move
8:34
on of the numerous commercial, look, it was, I kind of was
8:38
interesting. I'm not typically a fan of that,
8:41
sort of style, but I can, you know, get with it because I want
8:44
to play it. The one of the first Xbox, like,
8:46
360 games. I played other than Gears of
8:49
War, was a Prince of Persia game also, and I remember it, you
8:52
know, it's definitely a memory. I played it with my cousin and
8:55
his parents basement. Like he was just like, check
8:59
this out because he was like a chef and he'd get home like
9:01
super late and I'd be up and he'd be like, yeah.
9:03
Check this and he'd be you know showing me how to buy it and
9:06
like what to do. So I remember it for sure.
9:08
And I'd like to just play one again, you know, you know.
9:12
Really, why didn't I generally work today?
9:13
I'm excited. I'll try it.
9:16
But I will say this, I was definitely a lot more excited
9:19
about the next name on the list. Would you like me to introduce
9:22
it please? Mortal Kombat.
9:26
One, Ed Boon, you crazy son of a bitch.
9:32
Wow, The Cameo system is pretty sweet.
9:36
The graphics of the game is a it looks fucking gorgeous.
9:41
The animations look, amazing. The fatalities look gnarly as
9:45
fuck and it releases September 19th.
9:49
Fellows coming out in September, lotta games like and it's a,
9:54
it's a new timeline in the series, like it's a whole, it's
9:58
it's own thing. It's like, she's, it's wild
10:01
important. I think that's important for for
10:03
fans who like, like myself. I'll play Mortal Kombat games
10:06
with people, but I never if I'm playing it by myself, I'm doing
10:10
like the charges against the AI, just doing random like scrimmage
10:13
type stuff or I'm doing the story and so like I played
10:17
Mortal Kombat. What was the last one was at 10
10:19
or 11? 11 11?
10:21
I played 11 on my PC. And I remember at that point I
10:25
just was like, I have zero idea what's going on and I don't care
10:29
about it and it's like, I want to be able to like get invested
10:32
a story with those characters. Yeah, but you know, I get it
10:35
right. They've had so many games and
10:37
there's been just so much time, put into that one, you know,
10:40
universe. So it's exciting to know that
10:43
this is different. Yeah.
10:45
Oh, yeah, no, I really. I'm excited for that.
10:50
I really am. I've always loved Mortal Kombat
10:52
games just playing them in any capacity.
10:54
I have a ton of fun with them. Mortal kombat's always a staple
10:58
in any gaming household, it really is.
11:01
Next we had Path of Exile to coming out July 28th.
11:06
So anybody who gets burned on Diablo for play some of that.
11:10
You have some Street Fighter, six things.
11:12
So x0 Primal X Street Fighter, collab that she looked pretty
11:16
neat that is coming out this fall.
11:19
I'm going to skip this one for now, if that's fine there, I
11:22
understand that the next one on the list I'm going to skip, we
11:25
have the winter season three volume, one that comes out.
11:30
June 29th. So very soon, very awesome.
11:33
That that's coming out. When it's coming out, this will
11:36
be Henry Cavill last season as geralt.
11:39
So that kind of weight socks is it?
11:42
I thought it was just season 3 the other so well season three
11:46
altogether but this is part 1 of the season.
11:49
Yes, so this is okay. So yeah, it's not.
11:51
This typically won't be the last season.
11:53
No. But the season 3 itself, that's
11:55
it for Henry. Cavill, right?
11:57
That's girl. Yeah, he's doubt because he
12:00
didn't like, the way that they were going with the story.
12:03
Yeah. So they rely on convinced.
12:05
I'm convinced when he's angry in this season.
12:08
He's probably actually angry not acting.
12:12
There are no standing to learn the hard way with this one.
12:16
I just yeah, I don't see it. Doing better with Liam Hemsworth
12:22
know. It's like a new.
12:23
Is he playing geralt? Or is he an I think?
12:26
Or I don't know. Like if he is like that doesn't
12:28
work you've already shown us are geralt.
12:31
But then you'd have to come up with some really wacky way to
12:34
make it seem like oh well he's so hurt that we like he's
12:36
disfigured and we have to fix him but he might not look the
12:39
same or something you know like just something dumb but yeah no.
12:43
I mean I'm excited for it. I'll honestly think I still like
12:46
season one more than season 2. Oh yeah, although I did like
12:51
some of the monster fights in season 2 but I felt it.
12:53
The pacing was a bit off so I'm hoping that this has I'm hoping
12:57
that this is a bit more Monster hunting all together.
13:01
Season 2 felt like you got it because like you had made it
13:04
through a couple episodes like almost like is here's your
13:07
reward. Yeah, here you go.
13:09
Like, not as satisfying as I would honestly, like why do we
13:12
need this whole big story dude? Just like let's have like three
13:14
seasons of girl, just like a supernatural style.
13:18
Will give you show. We just every episode.
13:19
He takes down a different monster which is what I would
13:22
personally like honest. I would think they'd be a lot
13:24
cooler than try to retell like the book stories and the game
13:27
stories, I guess it's cluttered but we'll see because he's in He
13:31
has The Witcher 3 wild Hunt people, I think, right?
13:34
Yeah. And only played like the first
13:35
couple hours of Witcher 3, but yeah, like, I'm pretty sure
13:38
because they ride like a cherry and whatnot.
13:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah well done so they're, they're like that.
13:43
Yeah. They're like the big Baddie of
13:44
season 3 so it's like they're probably just gonna kill your
13:47
old off and then like do some good police used a different
13:51
timeline you know like oh yeah you know who knows?
13:55
But yeah, I mean I'm excited, I guess it'll be, it'll be.
13:57
We'll see how it is, right? I mean Last of Us killed it.
14:01
Like the Hedgehog is killed, it seasons 1 and 2 of The Witcher
14:04
of killed it. Maybe they can keep the streak
14:06
going but the next one we're gonna kind of rifle through.
14:09
So we had which fire first person shooter in a fantasy
14:12
Western World. Early Access begins September
14:14
20th. Then we have Crossfire Sierra
14:18
Squad which is a VR shooter which looked very cool.
14:22
Very like refined Pavlov looking game.
14:24
That's August 20, 23. Yeah, Remnant to co-op 3rd,
14:30
person view. Terroristic, action game, July
14:33
25th. This one's gonna be cool for my
14:36
kid. I know he's three so you can't
14:38
really grasp the controller yet, but the Sonic Superstars Game
14:40
does look like a fun time for families, right?
14:44
Like if there are few like Sonic, this is definitely a
14:46
Sonic game that you're going to enjoy.
14:49
Oh yeah. No, I mean not for me, but I
14:51
think that Landon will be very good at it.
14:53
He'll probably beat you on his first go.
14:55
Probably. So that's fall 2023.
14:57
Just honk I star rail. Okay.
15:04
Why is it P? This is a game that is actually
15:07
caught creating a lot of buzz. It does look really fun.
15:09
It doesn't look like it's a game for me, but it is like a Souls
15:12
like game based on Pinocchio again.
15:15
Thank you so much. Brody, I knew a lot of this, but
15:17
if I didn't have his notes here, I'd be fucked right now.
15:22
It comes out September 19th. The demo is available now on
15:25
Steam. So get that.
15:26
Try it out. That'll be.
15:28
Looks like it looks really cool. I'm going to probably watching
15:30
Ethan play it. if we had sand land, which was created by Akira
15:35
Toriyama, So Dragon Ball Z asked style to it, and look to it,
15:40
which is really sweet. The Annapurna showcase is July
15:48
29th, so that'll be really interesting to watch.
15:52
Thrown at Liberty, a free-to-play MMO from ncsoft,
15:55
and Amazon games War Haven, which to us that looked like,
16:01
what game was that Evan or on? We was for Honor.
16:05
That's like Logan mentioned. But like big, yeah, I like huge
16:09
battles. Instead of just like, the, like
16:12
whatever Ubisoft had at the time I think was like, 16 V 16.
16:15
You know, something like that. So that was it.
16:17
Yeah. Might have been as like because
16:19
it was console-based. So like they just didn't have
16:22
The same type of Bill Cassidy I get.
16:24
Yeah so I'm excited or more Haven and I think I was it was
16:28
thrown in Liberty. The one where you were watching
16:30
somebody like shape shift from like a human to a dog and then
16:34
they would go. Yeah.
16:35
That's who I'd Eagle. Well, I think really excited for
16:37
that and it looks neat but like Aren't some of these games that
16:44
like I got to remember. This is this is this the game
16:47
that just came out with it for spoken.
16:50
I get first spoken vibes from some of these games that looks
16:52
super beautiful and like super like artsy with nature and like
16:56
she like that I'm like I don't want to play it because it's
16:59
like that for spoken game. Came out it looked great, but it
17:02
was shit. Yeah, I didn't like I'm kind of
17:06
interested to see. I might try it just because it's
17:08
free, you know? And yeah, I'll try it.
17:10
People grab it then. Yeah.
17:11
I'll give it a go but I'm not know.
17:13
Look forward to it. The way and for war Haven but no
17:15
next one I am eagerly awaiting. Why you said that fucking
17:21
announce it? I already animals coming
17:25
September 20th of this year I believe it is on Game Pass so if
17:29
yes Got Game Pass you can play this day one as soon as it's
17:32
available I have been so excited.
17:34
Right over this because it looks like a lot more of a refined and
17:37
like a lot of stuff added to it style of Gang Beasts where it's
17:42
for player, you know, beat each other up in these stupid Arenas.
17:45
But it's honestly, it looks like in a create even better funny
17:49
moments with us where it's yeah. You know, like the look like you
17:53
could pick up objects it's like the control scheme is a bit
17:56
better also. I mean you're all like animals
17:58
instead of these weird like all over.
18:02
You know, blue, red green. In yellow, like people that just
18:06
are like, you know, blobs essentially so Steve, the more
18:09
life in it, you know. So yeah, I'm really excited for
18:12
that. I'm gonna totally be playing
18:13
that with you and Brody, I know for sure.
18:15
Oh, yeah. So sure.
18:16
When were fucking drunk and shit, it's gonna be great.
18:18
It's gonna be great time. It's gonna be what?
18:20
Somebody's gonna get mad at somebody.
18:23
Um, yeah. Oh, yeah.
18:24
So that's why I'm on it. Yeah.
18:27
Well, well, yeah. It's gonna be a fuckin.
18:30
I'll be caught. Yeah, yeah.
18:32
You're gonna be causing the chaos.
18:34
The next one is just an update and a couple other cool things
18:38
for Dying Light to that's coming out.
18:40
Soon crash team Rumble was not on my list that'll be really
18:45
cool to see what they do with Crash Bandicoot that's
18:47
commercially like in a rumble Universal like Super Smash
18:51
Brothers and all that stuff. Yeah this next one. this being
18:57
next to, In the list. Yes, yes.
19:01
Who remedy games? Alan Wake to and they brought
19:05
Sam Lake on stage. That was amazing.
19:12
Alan Wake, you get to play as two characters?
19:14
Alan Wake, and what's her name? The other character, I don't
19:18
remember. I'm looking it up now.
19:20
Just so I have some ideas because I was going to also talk
19:24
about Sorry, I thought video started saw Saga Anderson.
19:32
Okay, you found her? Yeah, yeah.
19:35
I was trying to look it up just because I want to talk about
19:36
some of the other stuff that they, you know, revealed after
19:39
that, we didn't see necessarily. But they're saying it's supposed
19:43
to be like, True, Detective. I don't know if you ever watch
19:45
that show. Yeah, it's supposed to be like a
19:48
slow burn and really effed up in some ways, but it's like a buddy
19:52
cop. The same way.
19:54
That True Detective is there's like supposedly a mind Palace
19:58
element where you can go and solve cases and look back at
20:02
you. No Collectibles and stuff like
20:03
that, so that's exciting. I haven't played the first one
20:06
in a long time. Like when it first came out so
20:10
if they have a remastered version I'll probably play
20:11
through it on PC and refresh myself.
20:14
Fox Game Pass right? Yeah might be I'll have to check
20:18
but it looks great. I will say it looks butyl and I
20:21
like the idea of the Like the detective style like are like
20:27
people said like re4 without all the action in a way like yeah,
20:31
or like a Resident Evil style but it's not as action-packed.
20:35
So I'm excited. I truly am.
20:39
I can't wait for this. All the wake is one of the
20:42
special games. It's a game.
20:43
I haven't touched on a very long time, but I remember playing it
20:46
and I remember loving every moment of it and big shouts out
20:49
to Austin, aob, who is a huge Alan Awaken remedy fan, any of
20:56
the guys over at Remedy or apogee, Scott, if you have any
21:03
fucking remedy shit, please send it his way.
21:05
He's a huge fan, he loves the studio and everything they do,
21:09
but Alan Wake to is going to be phenomenal, being able to switch
21:13
character to character, whenever you want type thing, doing the
21:16
story exactly how you want with, what character you want, is very
21:20
awesome and it creates replayability.
21:23
Polity in so many different ways that I think is important.
21:26
The only thing I'm not stoked about I thought I saw some about
21:30
there is no physical Edition. and that bothers me, not just
21:36
because I'm a person who likes physical Collector's Editions
21:41
and all that, but what's this is not going to be a game that does
21:46
this, but the problem for me is when you make things only
21:50
digital the Problem that can arise as if a studio hates, it
21:55
could just go away. Look at Scott Pilgrim, right?
21:58
That's wrong. That's wrong.
22:00
It's fucked up. You shouldn't?
22:01
That shouldn't happen to the consumer so that bothers me.
22:04
But it's remedy. I trust them.
22:07
Whatever. Moving on, I almost went on a
22:11
rant Warhammer Space Marine to looks brutal.
22:17
I can't wait for that. 3 is on a fun person Co-op.
22:22
And ultramarines do go in like that.
22:24
If I'm not mistaken, third person, coming this fucking
22:28
winner. Let's go.
22:31
We have so much to play. Man.
22:33
It is Wild is wild. We can rifle through this next
22:40
one. Yes, your grace pixel art game.
22:42
Roll role-playing game set in the fantasy world.
22:46
We had John Carpenter's toxic. Commando.
22:48
It's a co-op zombie game. First person.
22:51
Shooter Lon In 2024. It actually looks fun.
22:55
Yeah, I am, I don't want to say too much in this because I know
22:58
we got to get through the rest of them, but I am super excited
23:00
for this. Please keep bringing back the
23:02
co-op games that Co-op. Some games.
23:04
We let me saw some payday 3 today.
23:07
All that's all I'll say about that.
23:08
We use it later. Yeah, excited about that.
23:11
We've got, we already talked like party animals is an
23:14
example. I think of something like that.
23:16
You have Remnant to also a co-op game.
23:18
Yeah. See ya.
23:20
Please more Co-op, foreplay. Mayor, please make it more than
23:23
4 players, because, you know, we have more than four friends or
23:25
three friends, but like, dude, you know, help us out there.
23:29
I would love to do that and play more of those games that you
23:31
guys. So you have super excited for
23:32
this. It looks great.
23:33
Honestly, yep, next up, we had Baldur's Gate.
23:36
Three introduced a new antagonist dose Seidel set to
23:41
release August 31st. That is nice.
23:45
Awesome, I played about our to of Baldur's Gate three because
23:50
it's still in Early Access. I, you know, And there's other
23:53
games that came out of my God, I can walk away from it and I know
23:56
there's more coming to it but finished product still coming.
23:59
Do you want to know how many hours I have on it early access,
24:01
huh? 17 17.
24:05
Yeah, you fired and I love it. It's great.
24:07
I play a gay its so I wanted to explore it.
24:10
This was right at the peak of my D&D Obsession.
24:13
We are DND guys to though. So, yeah.
24:16
So like as soon as I saw how, like they were roles and all
24:19
that kind of stuff involved, I was like I gotta I played this
24:22
It's like 17 hours was over three days.
24:24
Like right? Three days in a row but yeah,
24:27
no, super excited, love JK Simmons, being an antagonist.
24:30
That's awesome. Yep.
24:32
That we had Spider-Man to a little bit more on that.
24:35
The biggest note here was Eddie, Brock is not Venom in my
24:37
opinion. That's wild.
24:40
Well, it's not my opinion. My opinion is.
24:42
This is a big thing, Eddie Brock side.
24:43
Venom. Yeah.
24:45
And Brody wrote injected directly into my veins on
24:48
October 20th 20:23 that is wild that is coming up.
24:52
Up that fast, probably shouldn't try and inject it.
24:55
Don't think anything would happen.
24:56
Just letting you know that Brody as a big factor bring it back
24:59
that bit, do not end up to whatever that would be into your
25:03
veins, you ready to a rifle? To the next ones?
25:07
Yeah, yeah. Do you want me to kind of run
25:09
through these? ER, yeah, go for it.
25:12
Sure. Okay, so after Spider-Man 2, we
25:13
had pal world. It's an open world survival
25:16
game. Brody put here Pokémon with
25:19
guns, which is releasing January of next year.
25:22
Yeah, I'm not super into it. Although I did just say, I'm
25:25
more cop games, didn't look like one for me, right?
25:28
I don't know. Yeah, we had Black Desert online
25:31
Land Of The Morning Light as an expansion that brings Korean
25:34
folklore into the world and that's coming June.
25:36
Teen. So literally in three it will be
25:39
out by the time this airs. I don't know why I said that
25:41
anyway, we didn't really play video that much so I we didn't
25:45
you crazy about this Lord of the Rings returned returned to
25:49
Moorea. It's an action-adventure game
25:51
was city building elements and releasing this fall?
25:53
It's kind of cool gonna have to give it another look before if I
25:57
really want to try it. Yeah, and then we had Final
26:01
Fantasy 7. What Grumble?
26:02
Grumble Grumble. Yeah.
26:04
Just a mobile game from. For Final Fantasy term.
26:06
Combat. Yeah, never been a fan banisters
26:10
ghosts of new Eden. It's an action-adventure game
26:12
about ghosts and release near the end of 2023.
26:15
Do you have anything that you thought about this?
26:17
It was neat looking. We'll see how it actually starts
26:20
to shape up and look though. You know I mean yeah I'm not
26:23
super into it after that we had like a dragon Gaiden.
26:27
I think is how you say that and who erased his name already put
26:31
year, was they keep pumping these bad boys out.
26:34
So I'm guessing it's an overworked franchise.
26:36
I've I've even heard of it until seeing it now.
26:38
So I don't really have much to say on that.
26:41
Launch is November under the waves.
26:44
A psychological Thriller underwater game that comes out.
26:47
August 29th. I actually kind of like the
26:49
look. I'm going to probably go to go.
26:51
Yeah, I think that looks like a lot of fun.
26:54
We had an update for Modern Warfare 2 season for.
26:56
That's June 14th. New maps modes.
27:00
I'm sure they did some changes and whatnot, but I didn't really
27:02
play. We haven't played model for to
27:04
look like modern warfare, 2019. So yeah.
27:06
Into into it. Then we saw something about
27:09
Porsche and Xbox with limited edition consoles.
27:12
They are not for sale. They can only be one in a
27:14
sweepstakes. That's kind of cool if you're
27:15
cool. Yeah I get it.
27:18
Yeah and I guess that you know makes them even more rare and
27:20
whatnot. I don't think it's cool but I'm
27:22
not going to actually go for it. You don't think they could have.
27:26
They could have made some more money here if they just made an
27:29
alternate of the sweepstakes consoles and like just to like
27:33
different colorway and shit whatever whatever.
27:36
Yeah, yeah. I mean it's cool and all but and
27:39
I like Porsche I'm not, you know, I think honestly because I
27:42
can't just go onto my phone and buy it.
27:44
That's probably why I wouldn't get try and get it.
27:47
Then we had Faith Farm. It's a Farm Sim.
27:50
It is also coming to PC. Now not just switch in that.
27:52
Launches September 8th, Farming Simulator is the best farming
27:56
simulator, there's no question. They're moving a Marvel snap.
28:01
I didn't see anything about this, but I will read the notes
28:03
that Brody put down which the first one was I think the
28:06
students Has coked out of his mind.
28:07
I'll speak to me and dude was like a fucking wild.
28:13
He was throwing Keeley off his shit.
28:15
So fucking hard and like some Jeff was like, um, okay yeah.
28:22
Marvel snap is a cool game. It's coming to steam or it's
28:25
already on Steam. Yes it's cool things like it's a
28:29
cool card game. Whatever the attic I was I'm on
28:31
fucking wild the really into it. I tried it wasn't for me.
28:35
We have King Arthur Legends rise that is as birdie put some
28:38
mobile action game. Also didn't see this guy was
28:40
driving at the time. Wayfinder was the next one.
28:44
It is an open world third-person action-adventure and it's
28:47
entering Early Access to Summer. Did you see this?
28:49
What did you think of it? It was cool.
28:52
It was neat. Looking but it's again, every
28:56
time I see the word open world, I start to lose interest because
29:03
Now everything has been over, whatever it's cool.
29:05
I'm gonna look into it more. Yeah, wrapping these up had a,
29:10
these rapid fire games, which is still RS Nexus.
29:13
I didn't really, I didn't see this.
29:14
There were the next like three or four because I was driving at
29:17
the time. I only caught the end of the
29:19
show, but we had Stellaris Nexus Space trash scavenger that which
29:22
looks funny. Stop in Star Trek infinite, I
29:25
did not see Star Trek infinite. I want to look at it because
29:28
it's Star Trek and I like that, sue me.
29:32
Then we got a trailer for Twisted Metal.
29:34
It is a Show release in July 27th, it shows.
29:37
So Anthony Mackey's in it. And there's a second person that
29:40
they showed off. During that new trailer, that's
29:42
supposed to be pretty important, but I don't remember the actor
29:44
was it who wanted this show? Yeah, it's a great question
29:52
because I remember playing Twisted Metal on like a PSP, so
29:56
that's why pretty old PlayStation, you know?
29:58
I mean, but like any was the bells of cool franchise, but
30:01
it's not really around anymore. And I don't.
30:06
Maybe it was all that Will Arnett is playing.
30:10
Oh my God. Who the fuck is he playing?
30:13
I should know this name. Well, you don't.
30:17
Now you look like a goof head to the audience.
30:19
The metal Will Arnett time out. Yeah, I hope not.
30:26
Why are you not helping me here? What I thought you were typing
30:29
it. What?
30:30
I'm being stupid right now. Sweet Tooth.
30:33
He's playing sweet to thank you. I almost had killjoy.
30:36
Yes he's playing Sweet Tooth which is a very iconic Twisted
30:39
Metal character and now all the real Gamers we like for you
30:41
didn't know his name sorry. Fuck.
30:44
Yeah it was. Yeah I mean I all I remember was
30:46
a gamer, you like hit other people's cars and tried to kill
30:49
them. I don't think there was much of
30:50
a story that I had to pay attention.
30:51
Or was it? Whatever.
30:53
No one wanted this. It looked was know, somebody did
30:57
somebody did because they're making it.
30:59
No, they saw that. Sony is killing it with some of
31:01
these adaptations. Well, what Last of Us and sure
31:05
there weren't are the well let's just do that.
31:07
Whatever. Anyways, go on, we only have
31:09
four more games. Yeah, we had list vanga the
31:12
timeshift warrior. It is an isometric tactical
31:15
hack-and-slash game are releasing some time this year.
31:17
This kind of look cool. I'd like to give it a go
31:20
definitely neat concept so I'm looking forward to it, the art.
31:23
So it was kind of my alley. Next after that, we had a
31:26
mortal's of avium. It is a first-person magic
31:28
shooter and launching July 20. I thought that this could have
31:31
looked a bit better. I wasn't too impressed with how
31:34
it's a first-person magic shooter and I kind of live from
31:38
some of the screenshots I had seen.
31:39
I was hoping for something a bit different than it literally.
31:42
Looks like you're just shooting magic out of your hand with a
31:44
firearm for spoken Vibes, right. That in there?
31:48
Yeah, it's Annie a title so I get it with.
31:51
Yeah, I play pro so I might give it a go just to see how it is.
31:55
I'll run through this these two really quick, as I'm actually
31:58
kind of happy it cool with one of these.
32:00
Not so happy with the other Fortnight chapter Forest and
32:03
three Wilds. You can, you can ride dinosaurs
32:07
and released already, it's actually out by the time you
32:10
listen and Optimus Prime is in it, for some reason, is what
32:13
Brody, put obviously really is because of Rise of the beasts.
32:17
Like, I don't know, get it, get it together, dog.
32:19
I know, I don't know. What kind of what this is that
32:22
you're doing here. Are we gonna go home up now and
32:24
then go down? Down.
32:26
And now I'd like to save the best for last.
32:28
So let's just do you want to talk about, do this?
32:32
Yeah, go ahead. Jeff Healey, why would you close
32:36
the show out on a Final Fantasy? VII remake.
32:39
Remake of the second part of the original remake, we are time to
32:45
discs. We're in 2023.
32:47
This comes out in 2024, get it the fuck together.
32:50
You know, the last game I played that had two desks, huh?
32:56
Take a guess you won't get it. I don't fucking know.
32:59
I think the Metal Gear Solid was La.
33:02
No are. And that's your 2011 has over
33:04
ten years ago do sleep. Hold on thinking about this.
33:08
Now, I realized I lied the last two disc game.
33:10
I played, was believe it or not. This isn't even a bit last was
33:13
part 2 because it had an installation disk, dumb, dumb,
33:17
dumb, dumb dumb. That's fine.
33:20
Anyway, stupid. That's not a way to end the
33:23
show. That's really fucking dumb.
33:26
Um, you could have be Mighty pleased me.
33:31
That's sad. RPG that redefined the genre and
33:34
I thought massive treasure true. Yeah, I heard the the rumor
33:39
true. What rumors?
33:40
Oh my gosh. There must have been something
33:41
about mass affected in here, and then I saw that big ass sword,
33:45
dude. I lost my mind.
33:47
My dad was cracking up because I was like, I would bet a hundred
33:50
dollars that I'm right on this. And then as soon as I said that
33:54
that showed up on screen and I was like, Out and then I learned
33:59
it's not even new, it's not even new.
34:02
No that's not that's stupid and Geoff.
34:04
Keighley didn't let me fucking blow my load and that pisses me
34:07
off. Now I'm just I'm so disappointed
34:10
Dad I'm ruined. All right.
34:14
You wanted us we want to save the best for last and I figure
34:18
I'll let you do the best for last.
34:20
Oh, really? I appreciate this.
34:22
You know what? You're welcome to guy.
34:24
What I what I think the show should have ended with big guy.
34:28
Yeah, you can call me big guy from now on was, and we had
34:32
already known this was happening, but we got some more
34:33
info about it. Yeah, because some asshole
34:35
leaked it. Yeah, this is awesome.
34:40
We only play this game during Halloween but we're making a
34:42
special exception July to action.
34:44
We talk shit about me in the notes here, he did.
34:46
I'm actually glad you let me do this because I wanted to bring
34:48
this up, but yeah, comes out July 25th, which is when we'll
34:53
be taking a special day to play it, Nick Cage isn't dead by
34:57
daylight which is a 4 player co-op versus of one.
35:01
Human player monster that's trying to kill you.
35:03
While you try to escape Nick Cage is one of these survivors,
35:07
he it is Nick Cage. Is he voices him and they
35:11
clearly mocap him or at least took from his used to create his
35:14
It looks just like him, he's wearing an awesome red suit as
35:17
Nic cage, only wood and then much to everybody.
35:20
The light in the entire world. Nobody thought this was a bad
35:23
thing at all because it's Nick Cage.
35:25
He came out on stage and he talked about it.
35:28
And let me just say I was genuinely impressed with how he
35:32
actually spoke about it he didn't you know, teleprompter
35:35
either he did yeah he didn't phone it in, he answered
35:38
questions, he was enthusiastic about it, you know, he didn't
35:41
promote anything which he certainly could have and he
35:46
Yeah. I mean that that's the Jesus.
35:48
That was awful. Honestly, one of the worst
35:51
things I've ever seen when it comes to like Hollywood actors.
35:54
The videos were Exodia. Yeah.
35:56
Whatever do is also go. See Black Adam, because it
35:59
totally bombed at the office. Good job.
36:01
Yeah, Rock. But no Nick Cage came out and he
36:05
talked about the game. He said that he's doing it
36:07
because somebody that he's close with loves the game.
36:10
And so he thought and not, he did allude to not any Is it
36:14
cancer specific roles? He alluded to that if this went
36:17
well for him, he wouldn't be opposed to doing more acting in
36:20
video games, which I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure it'll go well,
36:23
I'm sure it'll be probably one of dead by daily biggest
36:26
updates. Like because even if you don't
36:28
know him from movies, you've seen him as a meme and some form
36:31
or another. You've seen it, click the movie
36:34
but he's fantastic was wearing an awesome like turquoise green
36:38
kind of suit. Dude is like peppermint like
36:41
yeah dude he came out like that's what I like about him
36:43
right? He's never.
36:44
Never phoned it in, he's always jamming it seems.
36:48
So yeah, that was awesome. Brody's know, here was remember
36:51
that time that bad, Nick, the one I'm talking to currently
36:53
talked me into bonded by daylight and then he never
36:55
played it with me birdee. I would like to personally
36:57
apologize on behalf of the entire Discord.
36:59
As we are supposed to play it in October and like for Halloween
37:04
and we didn't last year. So that's our fault and we'll be
37:07
making an exception for that coming July 25th when Nick Cage
37:10
is in the game abso-fucking-lutely.
37:12
Well yes that should. Have been the closing of
37:16
anything. You had the biggest biggest star
37:18
in Hollywood at one point. Just come out on stage and chat.
37:21
Absolutely, don't have been awesome.
37:23
Dude, I would have loved that but that's not what we got.
37:26
And that was the end of the summer.
37:28
Game Fest. It was good.
37:31
It was fine. It needed it needed to end
37:35
stronger my opinion, but everything else we got was fine.
37:37
It's what I expected. It was going to be, it was fun.
37:41
You know, everyone was really happy to be back in person
37:43
again, and it was just a good time in the, in the absence of
37:46
III. This is what we do need and it's
37:48
not going to be perfect right now, right?
37:50
Like it's like, I know, Geoff, keighley does game awards and
37:53
everything like that but again in the absence of III, this is
37:58
what is now is what we're Getting now it's going to have
38:01
its hitches. It's not going to be perfect and
38:03
it's not always going to be great.
38:05
But by next year I think we're to get some stronger reveals.
38:08
I think we're going to see some crazier shit and in between that
38:13
we have the summer game, we have the game awards.
38:16
So for what end was, I'm happy with it.
38:23
I liked it for what we saw. I kind of was hoping for just
38:26
some more exciting things. I wasn't super impressed with a
38:29
lot of the stuff that I saw, just personally I mean although
38:33
you know there were a lot of great ones to which I think
38:35
makes up for it like they weren't all hits which I think
38:38
is the best you can ask for as maybe they're not going to be
38:40
all of them things that you like.
38:42
But I mean most of them were you know, as coming to mind
38:44
specifically, I have party animals, Alan Wake Warhammer
38:48
Space Marine to John Carpenter's toxic Commando.
38:52
Name a couple. And then obviously the Nic cage
38:53
that which is just an update to the full game, which it should
38:56
be. They should just make the next
38:57
done by daylight came with Nic cage is the protagonist.
39:01
But yeah, I mean, I was generally, if I had to give it
39:03
like a number grade, I'd probably say I give it like a
39:06
seven and a half her date. I'm like, right there probably
39:09
even seven for me. Yeah.
39:11
Like, uh, I liked it. I thought it was a good time.
39:13
I was hoping for maybe, I mostly was brought down by the end.
39:17
That's what I'd say like everything else up to that point
39:20
was was okay either. If I didn't like it or but I was
39:22
generally happy with everything. I had seen that I was interested
39:25
in it and then I got teased right up to that point of hey
39:29
like brand new game coming out and then it was not only a
39:33
remake or the second remake of a game that's been out for longer
39:38
than I've been alive that I'm not and yeah that I'm not
39:42
interested in but the fact that it was teased as it being
39:44
something where like the rumors are true never before.
39:47
Or seen. And then I talked to a buddy of
39:49
ours in the spawn Camp Discord which you should join and he
39:53
said, like this is a game that's been known, like, we've seen it.
39:56
We've seen gameplay, like we've seen footage of it, so it's
40:00
nothing new at all. So, that was, I mean, what
40:04
knocks it down from like, a 9, or a 10.
40:07
Honestly probably an eight. I'd probably say seven seven and
40:09
a half at this point. Yeah, that's where I'm at.
40:11
It's about a seven. It's good needs to be tuned a
40:14
bit by next year's. I think we'll get some pretty
40:17
cool and it's so cool but I think we'll get something better
40:19
next year I'm gonna spoil. One thing that we're closing out
40:24
P3 was wearing a fucking hex and shirt during the Xbox fucking
40:28
showcase today. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:31
I don't think he loved your dad said that he's like, is he
40:34
wearing a hex and shirt? And I was like, yeah, he is.
40:36
He's like, That's cool. Your dad is older than me and
40:41
I'm just as excited. That's fine.
40:44
That was sweet. That was really fun, cool, but
40:46
that's really close it off. The next few episodes are pretty
40:50
wild. I got an interview in the bag,
40:52
I'm thinking, that'll be out next Friday.
40:55
I got to get it recorded. If the, guest is still able to
40:58
do so, with all the things happening in the gaming sphere,
41:01

41:04
past month. It may be hard and you may have
41:07
gotten busy, but I'll let you guys know.
41:09
But we got Xbox showcase and Starfield.
41:11
