0:03
What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
0:06
Talk. I'm your host, Robert, and today
0:09
today, I am here to talk about my favorite announcements from
0:17
The Game Awards last night, as well as, of course, the final
0:22
the the the reveal we finally got of GTA6 and some other
0:27
stuff. But welcome to the show.
0:32
As always, if this is your first time here, then welcome, but if
0:35
you're a returning listener and or watcher then welcome back.
0:38
Y'all know here at Danny's talk it's all about fatherhood and
0:41
family manga, anime and video games.
0:46
So like I said, lots of game discussions today.
0:51
I hope everybody out there has been doing well.
0:53
It's been a couple of weeks since I've done a regular
0:55
podcast episode like this, and this one I hope to kind of keep
0:59
kind of short and tight, hopefully, because by the time
1:06
y'all are probably hearing this, I will be in a movie theater.
1:10
Hopefully the first of a couple this weekend, because tonight
1:14
I'm going to go see The Boy and the Heron.
1:19
I believe it's the name of it. The new Studio Ghibli movie.
1:24
Yeah, The Boy and the Heron. And then sometime over the
1:27
weekend I'm planning, I'm planning to go see Godzilla -1
1:32
and the new kind of like Batman kind of animated movie.
1:41
I think it was what is it called?
1:42
Merry merry little Batman that dropped on Amazon prom today.
1:49
It's that's that's like an hour and a half movie, whatever.
1:51
That looks pretty dope and interesting.
1:53
So looking forward to checking out all these things like
1:56
they're starting tonight and then across the weekend and
1:59
hopefully, you know, y'all probably hear me talk about that
2:02
in a future episode. But but yeah, so before I get to
2:07
that man, I'm trying to think I think last of my recorders
2:11
before Thanksgiving even I believe so.
2:14
I hope everybody out there had a good Thanksgiving if you
2:17
celebrated or at least maybe got to have some time to chill rest
2:22
etcetera etcetera. Spend time with family and
2:24
friends. Mom was pretty decent didn't do
2:28
nothing too crazy whatever you know went to my my wife's
2:31
grandmother's as we've done all the years me and my wife me and
2:35
my wife have been together and and yeah that was kind of it for
2:41
Thanksgiving. Oh we well I guess we we we went
2:46
to the casino for a little bit which that that was kind of a
2:49
interesting and fun. So you know we we we want a few
2:55
a few extra coins so we we left with more than what we came in
2:59
there with. So that's a positive that I'll
3:01
take. Aside from that it just been you
3:04
know good you know back in the swing of things with basketball
3:08
and cross country season for my kids.
3:10
And I was fighting off a cold over the last few days or
3:16
whatever. So luckily I I staved it off.
3:19
But you know I kind of had to Duke it out a couple of days.
3:21
But hey you use that PTL time, which reminder if you got PTL
3:26
time use it. Don't just sit on it and lose it
3:30
like I did in my last job. You know left that job had like
3:33
60 something 70 hours of PTL that I've never used so never
3:37
again. So yeah, so and aside from this,
3:41
like I said, I I I got to give a huge shout out to, of course,
3:47
love all my kids, but give a special shout out to my oldest
3:51
three, my big three, the three JS as we call them for each of
3:58
their dominating performances last night at each of their
4:02
respective games. So like I've mentioned before,
4:06
if you're new here, whatever, Got five kids, three boys, twin
4:10
girls. My oldest three are all in 8th
4:14
grade. So my oldest son and my twin
4:16
daughters, they're all in 8th grade.
4:19
So that means that game day, basketball day, they all play at
4:22
the same time in different locations.
4:24
So me and my wife divide and conquer.
4:28
My wife goes to all the home games every weekend I go to all
4:31
the away games. So this week my daughters was
4:36
playing away so I got to watch their games in person and my
4:39
wife went to my sons. So like I said everybody did a
4:42
fantastic job. My oldest daughter, her team day
4:47
one, I think it was like 27 to 11.
4:51
She had nine points. So she's coming along very
4:55
awesome. Still has a lot of things to
4:57
learn or whatever because remember this is the one that's
4:59
been running track her whole life and decided to to try out
5:02
basketball. So doing really well but no lots
5:05
of room for improvement. Other daughter, her team crushed
5:10
like they won. I think it was like 5658 to
5:17
seven, I think, I think 7. So, yeah, so that that, that,
5:26
that was that square, which actually let me double check.
5:32
Yeah, 58 to 7. So yeah, the dominating
5:36
performance I think she had, I think about 15 points or so,
5:42
somewhere between 13 and 15, maybe about 13.
5:46
And then my oldest son, my wife, is of course giving me updates
5:49
on his game or whatever. They won, I think like 50 or 60
5:54
something to 30 something. He had about 18 points he dumped
5:59
in the game for the first time, which is super exciting.
6:04
And I definitely got to give a extra shout out to him for not
6:10
letting the haters get to him because I like, like I've talked
6:13
about before, my kids are very well known, of course at their
6:19
schools, but of course in their area, in the in the whole area
6:24
district or whatever, because they all do very well at what
6:28
they do. And so though though it is funny
6:32
sometimes they don't realize that my oldest son and the twins
6:37
or brother and sister and so when we was talking to somebody
6:40
about after after my daughter's games, whatever we was talking
6:43
and stuff, I was talking to them about hey, yeah your brother he
6:47
dunked in the game and da da da da da.
6:49
And then one of the other kids from the other school that was
6:52
listening whatever was like or one of their friends, somebody
6:55
was like wait that wait that that's your brother.
6:58
And so that that stuff is always just funny.
7:00
But but yeah so that that was very awesome.
7:03
And Oh yeah, so like I was saying overcoming adversity.
7:08
So before the game, because my wife had called and talked to me
7:11
a little bit before his game, whatever said, you know it's a
7:14
little bit of a rookie stirring, kids from the other team talking
7:17
trash, calling him overrated and all this other junk or whatever.
7:22
But he went out there, didn't let it phase him, went out
7:24
there, dominated and did his thing as he does and like I
7:27
said, got a duck at the end of the game.
7:30
And the awesome thing is that he got to reunite and also play
7:35
against pretty much his very first best friend he had as a
7:40
kid when he was like in pre-K or kindergarten.
7:43
And like the first apartments me and my wife lived at when we
7:48
first got together or whatever, it was a father and son that
7:53
lived in the apartments as well and stuff.
7:55
So we got to, you know, know them really well.
7:58
And then of course, you know, we moved away.
8:00
They moved away or whatever, Didn't really see them much and
8:02
stuff. And then I ran into the dad a
8:04
while back and because he works at A at a store nearby,
8:09
whatever. So every time I would see him,
8:11
we were talking catch up or whatever.
8:13
And then unfortunately last week or last year they didn't get to
8:17
meet because his son had got injured in football right before
8:22
that, the basketball season started, so he didn't even get
8:24
to play last year or didn't get to play against my son.
8:28
So this year they got to play Reunite my wife, of course she
8:32
had pictures of stuff from them when they were little kids and
8:34
stuff. So that was very sweet because
8:36
neither one of them really remembered they they they
8:39
remembered like like the thought of the other person but didn't
8:41
really remember like what each other looks like and stuff.
8:44
So you know, like I said, it's been freaking 7-8 years so but
8:48
yeah, so that that was like a very dumb one.
8:50
But like I said, super proud of all my kids and how they did
8:54
last night. So I told my wife, we're
8:55
probably not to go out maybe sometime this weekend as you
8:58
hear back screaming in the background and celebrate the the
9:06
dominating performances and stuff.
9:08
So, and Speaking of Vash, since I brought them up, I got this in
9:13
the mail. For those of y'all that's not
9:15
watching the video version, I got a a Vash the Stampede, the
9:20
OG design from Pop, a pop figure of a Vash the Stampede.
9:26
Crunchyroll Just put these on sale like last month or whatever
9:31
and so as soon as I saw it I pre-ordered it and then it
9:34
showed up. It just showed up the other day
9:38
so we're super happy to get this.
9:42
Showed my son as he continues to scream and and and told him I
9:50
was like hey you know what? What does that say?
9:53
Spell that or whatever. He's like oh VASH bash, that's
9:56
me. He looks like me.
9:57
So that was very cute and he was always there for me.
10:00
I was like, Nope, that is for for for dad, for daddy.
10:04
Probably going to get this clean up here up here and put it right
10:07
next to my other few fun calls I have right here as my daughter's
10:12
just called me. So I'm a pause and I'll be right
10:15
back. Oops, I'll be right back.
10:18
They need to be picked up so I'll be right back.
10:25
The authentic dad experience. So yeah, so back from picking my
10:31
daughter's up, they went to the 9th grade basketball game menu.
10:37
So yeah, so shout out to them. I think that's what I was
10:39
talking about last whatever with them, the game and stuff last
10:42
night. So yeah, so we got to do
10:45
something to celebrate. And yeah, aside from that, like
10:50
I should be kind of just like trying to look look ahead and
10:53
plan out what stuff I want to do to finish up the year content
10:59
wise and just in general and then looking ahead to what I
11:02
want to try to do next year. So we'll see.
11:06
I got got some things in the works.
11:08
I have some different manga stuff I'm going through.
11:12
I recently read Orb on the move on the movements of the Earth.
11:16
I recorded a review for that. It's not out yet and I'm trying
11:20
to bet if I might scrap it and rerecorded or whatever, I don't
11:25
know. And I also picked up oh this big
11:30
one here Innocent, which shout out to Bree for last year.
11:39
I had her on my manga of the year episode this time last year
11:45
and this was one of her favorite series.
11:47
So I'm looking forward to diving into and reading Innocent And
11:52
yeah, so I got got some of the stuff in the works.
11:54
But yeah, so aside from that I'm going moving to the game stuff
11:58
because like I said, I'm short on time, especially having to go
12:01
pick up my daughters and stuff. So, so yeah, so let's go ahead
12:05
and dive into the game. So the first thing I want to
12:11
just talk about very briefly, whatever.
12:13
And I'm not going to show no trolls whatever because I I I
12:16
don't want to mess with Rockstar.
12:20
So after a decade freaking 12 years.
12:30
Well, a decade since released, but we finally got the official
12:36
reveal for GTA6 and Grand Theft Auto 6.
12:40
We're going back to Vice City, AKA Miami, AKA Florida.
12:48
Setting and the trailer was super dope.
12:52
I watched it at bajillion times and so did a lot of y'all cuz
12:55
that trailer was like at 100 million or something within the
12:59
first day. Which actually, just just out of
13:02
a curiosity and research, let me let me see real quick.
13:09
GTA6 trailer. Currently at 131 million views
13:17
in four days. So I'm sorry.
13:19
So it's it's official, but unfortunately it's not coming
13:23
out until 20250 Lord, so it'll be 12 years between Grand Theft
13:30
Auto releases. Man, that is freaking wild.
13:34
I was 23 when GTA5 came out on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360,
13:44
so that's two game consoles ago and it was the last holiday I I
13:51
ever worked retail at GameStop and stuff before the whole
13:55
GameStop incident happened and I lost my job, but it didn't push
14:01
me to my current career. IT, which that is the story I'm
14:05
planning to tell. February 2024 will be the 10
14:09
year anniversary of me getting fired from GameStop, so I look
14:13
forward to talking about that and reflecting on that
14:16
situation. But anywho, so yeah, so 10 years
14:20
ago, man, that is freaking wild. But it's like so I was, I was
14:23
young, young, young whippersnapper, had different
14:27
glasses, 23 at the time, man. And I'll be 35 by the time GTA 6
14:37
comes out, assuming it hits the date.
14:41
So, but yeah, so, you know, like I said, the Miami setting, we
14:48
got to look at our two our main career, I think.
14:49
I think it's a a Lucia, it's a, it's a, it's a woman.
14:54
And I think Jason is the guy. Whatever seems to be, it might
14:58
be like a Bonnie and Clyde type of situation, I don't know.
15:02
But I'm very excited either way to check it out.
15:06
So GTA 6 is real. Now on to the Game Awards.
15:13
So Game of Wars 2023 happened last night was freaking thing
15:19
like 3 1/2 hours and I I I'll just kind of mention briefly up
15:25
front. So the Game of Wars is something
15:29
that I look forward to every year just just for the for the
15:34
spectacle and stuff of it all. Because of course like it it it
15:38
is kind of interesting in some sense to see oh what game does
15:43
get the quote UN quote game of the year award and or what other
15:47
or what games win other carrot categories and stuff, whatever.
15:50
But of course a lot of us are also there to see the big
15:54
announcements, the big reveals, you know what's coming up next
15:57
or what Shadow dropped or whatever to catch my beer,
16:00
whatever. And so I feel like on that
16:04
front, like the announcements and stuff, this is probably like
16:08
my favorite year of announcements in a long time
16:12
from the game of Wars. Now the other side of things,
16:16
the actual awards part definitely needs some shifting
16:23
around on or something needs to be done differently because like
16:27
yes, we know that the the the announcements and the ads and
16:31
sponsorships, whatever is what makes all the big money.
16:34
Bring in all the viewers and stuff, whatever.
16:36
How you know how Keely and crew are able to you know Jeff Keely
16:41
and crew are able to you know make their money and all that
16:45
stuff whatever. But it it just kind of sucks
16:52
when it's like so many of the categories get like speed ran
16:58
through just to get to the next trailer and stuff.
17:01
And so I don't really know what the true solution of it is,
17:08
'cause it's like 'cause it's like the show is 3 1/2 hours
17:11
long. But it also feels like that
17:18
should do better by the devs because and and I say this
17:22
because and and and some as like like now I I understand like
17:24
some parts of the show are still kind of in flux, whatever.
17:29
But I feel like for me they do the planning and stuff like or
17:37
that they do like rehearsals and stuff like a week or so before
17:40
the official show and the actual wars and stuff.
17:45
I I I feel like maybe there needs to be enough time for the
17:53
for the Game of Wars crew to see what actually won what award and
18:03
then kind of structure the show around that to where it's like
18:06
OK, if we know this game won this this this and this award
18:15
then of course I can kind of understand y'all may be blowing
18:18
through some of those and that and that essence whatever.
18:21
But I don't know it. It's kind of a tricky situation.
18:23
But like I said definitely especially some of the like the
18:26
more like niche categories like best independent game or
18:29
whatever like like it. It's it's already a struggle
18:34
sometimes for like some of these like smaller developers to even
18:38
find a spot amongst especially in a year like 2023.
18:42
Like how crazy good. A lot of like game releases we
18:45
got this year from like the biggest of the big games to
18:48
small games and stuff. And my my my biggest example is
18:53
Sea of Stars won best independent game.
18:57
But because it was part of like one of those like Speed Blitz
18:59
moments, nobody from the team got to come up there and say
19:03
anything or nobody got to accept the award on their behalf or
19:06
whatever. And I freaking love Sea of
19:08
Stars. And you know, they did the same
19:10
thing with like the best fighting game category because a
19:13
lot of those games probably aren't going to come up in other
19:15
categories or whatever. And it's like, Oh yeah, Street
19:17
Fighter Six one. OK, on to the next thing is like
19:19
would have been cool to learn from the Street Fighter Six team
19:23
how they thought about winning in a year where they went
19:25
against stuff like Mortal Kombat and other big game releases.
19:32
So yeah, so I guess, I guess just just like in like briefly,
19:36
unfortunately, like they did again more, I'm a kind of shout
19:39
out some of the winners of the different categories and make
19:45
sure my phone is muted. So yeah, so of course, starting
19:50
with the big one game of the year went to Balder's Gate 3.
19:57
Not too much of a surprise. A lot of people going into the
19:58
show kind of anticipated that game, sweeping the award show
20:02
and they won a lot of stuff. So, so yeah, so shout out to
20:05
them. Not really my type of game, but
20:07
who knows, maybe I should give it a try one day.
20:09
But it's a Bartles gate Three, one game of the year Best game
20:13
Direction went to Alan White 2. Best like ATV adaptation Last of
20:19
Us Best Narrative Alan Alan White 2.
20:21

20:25
Best score in music went to Final Fantasy 16.

20:32
Best Performance went to a Neil Newborn from Baltos Gate 3.

The award for Innovation and accessibility went to Forza.
20:42

20:46
Best Ongoing games? Cyberpunk.
20:48
Community support? Barter's Game?
20:49
Best Independent Sea of Stars? Best indie game?
20:54

21:00
talk without Vash popping in, I say.
21:03
So Best debut indie game? Cocoon.
21:08
Super happy about that. I love that game.
21:12
Don't care about. Best mobile, Best AR game.
21:16
Best action game. Went to Armored Core 6.
21:21
Action. Best action adventure.
21:22

21:24

21:28
Mario Brothers Wonder Dope game. Best Sims.
21:33
Slash strategy Went to Pigma 4? Sure.
21:36
Best racing sports for the multiplayer bottle Skate 3 and
21:42
that's kind of it. For the main stuff, I don't care
21:44
about none of the E Sports stuff.
21:46
So yeah, so so yeah. So shout out to all the winners
21:49
and stuff. Like I said it.
21:50
It definitely would have been cool for some of those teams and
21:56
people to have gotten a chance to go up on the stage and talk.
22:00
And Speaking of the talking, that was like another big
22:02
complaint too. Is that like they overcorrected
22:06
from last year with the situation with the Chris Judge
22:10
who who is the voice of Kratos when he won the best voice actor
22:14
award and he spoke for like the like 8 or so minutes or
22:18
whatever. They put a hard time limit on it
22:20
this year, but they put it so such a hard limit to where it
22:23
was like 30 seconds. So a lot of people like getting
22:27
cut off or the music was playing super loud over what they were
22:30
saying. Super sucked.
22:32
So it's like, it's like, man, like like like if y'all can give
22:35
all this time to, you know, Kojima and some of these other
22:41
actors and different stuff or whatever, like several minutes
22:44
or whatever, Y'all can give at least two minutes tops for these
22:53
developers and people actually working and creating and
22:56
creating games and stuff. Whatever, man.
22:58
So, But yeah, so that that is that.
23:01
Unfortunately so. But like I said, I'm a dive into
23:06
some of the game announcements now as always, Harry, Dennis,
23:11
his talk, I'm going to talk about what I want to talk about
23:15
now. I'm a, I'm a primarily focus on
23:16
the stuff that speaks to me. May not have been like the
23:20
biggest announcements for everybody in the world, but
23:23
speaks to me. But I also will shout out stuff
23:26
that I know were popular to a lot of other people.
23:32
So it's like, hey, there's a new game from this person or this
23:34
development team that you might want to put on your radar.
23:37
So I will do that. So let's pull that up real
23:42
quick, OK? So starting off and like I said,
23:46
I'm just, I'm going in order of the announcements and stuff,
23:50
whatever, just because it'd be easier for me to instead of me
23:53
bouncing the 20 stuff, whatever. So shout out to Amusing Polygon
23:57
who has everything and nice, neat single page with all the
24:02
information or whatever. So First off, we're getting a
24:07
remake of Brothers A Tale of Two Sons.
24:12
Now this was one of the first games created by the guy who
24:17
did. Lord, I am forgetting.
24:24
Hold on. I am forgetting his brothers.
24:28
A Tale of Two Sons. I can't believe I'm forgetting
24:33
this. Joseph Ferris, Hazelight
24:40
Studios. A way out and it takes two.
24:45
Those games that came out in recent years.
24:48
So this was like the first game he was ever the director of.
24:52
They came out over a decade ago in 2013.
24:56
It is a single player Co-op game, so special, so heart
25:02
wrenching 'cause you play two brothers, you control both of
25:07
them at the same time with your control with one controller.
25:11
So literally half the controller.
25:13
As for one brother, the other half of the controller is used
25:16
to control the other brother. And it was some of the coolest.
25:20
Like I said especially this is 2013 / 10 years ago.
25:24
This is like some of like the most unique game play stuff I've
25:26
ever played and like I said, like the story was super
25:31
fantastic. So they're doing a remake of
25:33
that. It's coming out February of
25:35
2024, so I'm I'm super excited to see that and excited to to
25:41
have my heart ripped out again. Let me see Next up, this is just
25:46
more. The couple of these are just
25:47
shout outs because I've never played these games, but a new
25:51
game from the team who created the game Inscription.
25:54
I think they came out like last year or maybe the year before.
25:59
What is it called? Pony Island?
26:02
Two Panda Circus. Don't know, a follow up.
26:08
So this was like a detective adventure game.
26:11
So I think last year there was a game that came out called The
26:14
Case of the Golden Idol. Never played it hard, like
26:17
people talking about it where they announced a new one called
26:20
The Rise of the Golden Idol. So maybe maybe I'll check out
26:24
that first one, see what it's like.
26:28
Let me see this game called Unusual June was kind of a a
26:35
interesting kind of like third person action type of game.
26:42
I'm I'm so hesitant to play trailers for stuff.
26:47
Like I said, I'll I'll put a link to this Polygon article in
26:52
the description so y'all can go through and watch trailers and
26:55
stuff, you know, after the fact. So like I said, just kind of
26:58
more as iffy. Sometimes we're showing trials
27:00
or whatever because YouTube and the different publishers that
27:03
publishers and stuff can be so finicky with that stuff.
27:07
And I definitely don't want to do with any copyright stuff on
27:09
YouTube. So let me see an accessible
27:16
music adventure game called Card Harmonia.
27:19
The Musical Stars deals with a deaf girl and they like Disney
27:24
meet musical interesting new game from the from the team that
27:29
made Dead Cells called Windblown I I maybe dabbled with a game a
27:35
long time ago, but I know a lot of people that love that game.
27:41
It's like a a rogue like adventure type of game.
27:47
New game from the Thumper developer called Thresher.
27:50
Once again another one's like it's like a music rhythm game.
27:54
Heard a lot of people enjoyed it.
27:57
Got a neat little crossover game between two games called Dave
28:01
the Diver and Dredge. So they do like a crossover DLC
28:06
thing coming out next week. So I've heard good things about
28:11
both of those games. I might I need to check them
28:13
out. Word of gutu don't really care.
28:18
Metaphor re Fantasio new RPG game from the Persona team.
28:27
Matthew McConaughey is going to be in a new sci-fi RPG game
28:32
called Exodus. Now this one looked pretty
28:37
interesting. They says it's got some X bio
28:41
where people who worked on mass effective stuff back in the day
28:44
were working on this. So look like you might be myself
28:46
with game. I'll check it out.
28:48
No dates or nothing on it. God of War Ragnarok is getting
28:54
free DLC next week called God of War Ragnarok Valhalla.
29:01
Now this is a kind of like rogue like mode kind of like what
29:08
they're doing in the In the Last of Us Part 2 re release in
29:13
January where that's going to have like a like a separate mode
29:17
thing. Whatever.
29:18
They're doing that in this where it's like sometimes like story
29:21
thing where Kratos is going to Valhalla and fight it through
29:24
waves of enemies and stuff. So hey, it's going to be free
29:27
coming out next week. So I'll for sure check that out
29:32
though it it is interesting because there was there was a
29:34
lot of rumor though I'm trying to remember if if I think that
29:38
there was like a rumor there might be like a a Trayis DLC or
29:41
something whatever, but but it might have just been a rumor
29:44
that there's going to be DLC and that's what this was.
29:47
So anywho, very awesome. Let's come out next week, a new
29:51
game from the team that did a untitled goose game called Big
29:59
Walk. The like you play is like some
30:02
ants or something or whatever. I don't know, fun silly time.
30:06
New trailer for the Prince of Persia.
30:08
The Lost Crown game that's coming out in January.
30:10
They're going to be putting out a free demo on January 11th, so
30:14
I'll be checking that out. So because I I don't know if I'm
30:17
gonna play the full game, at least not at launch.
30:19
But hey, free demos, I'm always down for that.
30:23
Ninja Theory stop showing Hellblade until we get a release
30:26
date. They did another trailer and of
30:29
course it was just, you know, if the game looks nice.
30:32
But it's like, OK, we've been getting trailer at the trailer,
30:35
at the trailer, tease at the tease, at the tease for three
30:39
years at this point going on 4 because this was first teased
30:45
game of Wars 2019 went along with the with the reveal of what
30:50
the Xbox Series X was going to look like.
30:52
So yeah, four years of teasing and still just saying 2024, but
30:58
I'll believe it when I'm playing it.
31:05
Not much to say about that one. It it, it's a game from a studio
31:10
called Unseen from the so the studio founder, her name is, she
31:16
was a creative director. Her name is Akumi Nakamura.
31:20
She was a creative director at Tango Game Works for many years
31:23
this part of Bethesda. Her worked on the Evil Within
31:30
series, so she was kind of like Shinji Makami, the Resident Evil
31:35
creator, his protege site so to speak.
31:37
So she's working her. She has a new studio working on
31:40
a new game and stuff so check that out whenever that comes
31:43
that has no date no year nothing new game from the studio that
31:47
does the Ori and the blind forest and the other Ori game
31:52
called no rest for the wicked. Now the Ori games always looked
31:59
stunning, stunning, stunning, stunning.
32:02
And so the art style of this looked really dope.
32:05
So I might check this out. I I actually need to like go
32:07
back and I fully dive in and play the Ori series.
32:12
I remember I I played a good amount of a good amount of one
32:16
of them, whatever. I just never finished it.
32:17
So need to go back and play that and like I said, definitely want
32:21
to check out this new game whenever that comes out.
32:23
Sega announced that they're going back and checking out a
32:28
bunch of their or kind of re revitalizing and doing new
32:32
releases of several of their classic series.
32:37
And the ones that they teased specifically in that trailer was
32:41
a new Jet Set, Radio Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage and
32:47
Crazy Taxi. So lots of old school classics
32:51
that they're planning to bring back.
32:53
Super Dope look forward to that. But that they said that's going
32:56
to they're going to be coming out here and there over the next
32:59
several years. So new Dragon Ball Budokai
33:06
Tenkaichi game called Dragon Ball Sparking 0 finally got a
33:11
trailer and a look at that game. So look super cool.
33:14
I remember playing the Budokai games back in the day at friends
33:17
houses most of the time because I didn't.
33:19
I didn't have APS two and stuff of my own, so I had friends on
33:23
play it over at their house. So I got a new Budokai game
33:28
called Sparking Zero I think. I don't think they didn't put a
33:31
date on that, but I think it's coming sometime next year.
33:34
So this is a very interesting crossover that they announced.
33:39
So Supermassive Games, who did one of the very few horror games
33:44
I've ever played, Until Dawn, and they also made a shoot.
33:52
I can't believe, like my brain is going blank when I need it
33:54
most. Yeah, Until Dawn, The Dark
34:00
Pictures Anthology and The Quarry.
34:04
The Quarry is what came out last year.
34:06
So yeah, so they're so, so they're teaming up with the Day
34:13
by Daylight studio, which horror stuff and asymmetrical horror
34:17
stuff never really played it. One of my homies, Kayla from
34:21
back in college. She streams it all the time.
34:23
Check her out K Monster. I believe it's her Twitch name,
34:27
but they are teaming up to do a single player story game set in
34:34
the day Dead by Daylight universe.
34:37
It's called the Casting of Frank Stone.
34:41
So very, very interesting. I still need to go back and
34:44
check out those Dark Pictures games as well as the Quarry
34:49
'cause like I said, really enjoyed Until Dawn.
34:52
Super, super dope. I highly recommend y'all check
34:55
out that one for sure 'cause I played it.
34:57
Next up, Square Index announced a new game in the Mana series
35:03
called Visions of Mana. Never really played those, but I
35:05
know a lot of RPG fans enjoy that series that's coming out
35:08
sometime next year. Rise of the Ronin got a release
35:13
date? It is coming out March 22nd
35:15
2024, just a few months away and this will satiate the appetite
35:23
until we get the eventual Ghost of Tsushima 2 game in probably
35:27
2-3 years. But man this game has looked
35:32
dope From the first time I saw it and everything that showed on
35:36
this trailer. I was like I was, I was already
35:38
kind of sold on it but this trailer sold me even more and
35:41
like I said now knowing that it's got a a firm date now
35:45
March, I'm super excited I'm going to be there day one.
35:49
Y'all know, especially after I did my review couple weeks ago
35:53
talking about the the animated series on Netflix called Blue
35:57
Eyed Samurai. Check, check out that show if
35:59
you haven't. It's only thing, eight episodes,
36:01
8 to 10 episodes, Super dope series, check that out.
36:05
But I'm, I'm, I'm always down for that kind of a samurai
36:11
Ronan, you know type of game. So looking forward to playing
36:15
this, Kojima teases new project that he's working on with Jordan
36:19
Peele called OD. It's going to be a horror game
36:23
or something for Xbox. I don't really care too much.
36:26
Like I said, I'm not too big into horror stuff.
36:29
Jurassic Park Survival. Don't care.
36:32
This black myth, Wukong this game they've been showing off
36:36
for years and years and years. A lot of people think it looks
36:43
too good to be true, 'cause like like some of like the graphics
36:46
of this thing look freaking ridiculous.
36:48
But yes, it's a Chinese fantasy game based off of the novel
36:52
Journey to the West, and it finally got a date, August 20th,
36:56
2024. So we'll see, let's see new
37:03
trailer for Suicide Squad. I'll just say this, they
37:10
recently did a a multiplayer closed alpha for this game and
37:18
so it's going to be interesting, interesting to see how this game
37:22
does in a couple of months when it drops, whatever.
37:26
I wish I could say more, but I'll just say I got to play the
37:30
game but I'm under NDA, can't say nothing else or whatever.
37:33
So but yeah, so they showed a new trailer for that and I'll
37:37
make sure that you're interested in seeing how that game does in
37:40
a couple of months. Warframe got a new expansion or
37:44
something, don't really care. Now this next one.
37:48
So the voice actor for Baek in AC Origins, one of my favorite
37:56
Assassin's Creed games, especially of the of the recent
38:00
era. He ended up creating a his own
38:04
video game studio and their first game is this game called
38:09
Yeah, his studio is called Surgeon Studios and this game is
38:12
called Tales of Kinzera Zao and it's coming out I believe in
38:18
April so the game looks super dope.
38:21
I highly recommend y'all go looking at his speech that he
38:25
gave at the game of Wars and then the the trailer for this
38:27
game because it might be something that y'all want to put
38:29
on your radar. Next up another game that I am
38:34
super, super excited for. Don't nod the team, the studio
38:39
behind the Life is Strange series which I'd love dearly
38:43
there. They got a new game coming out
38:45
next year called Lost Records, Bloom and Rage.
38:51
It looks super dope. Like I said, if if if you enjoy
38:56
Life is Strange, this needs to be on your radar.
38:59
If you've never played Life is Strange, If you enjoy really
39:02
good story, never that type of games, please check out that
39:06
series. They are all fantastic built in
39:09
with lots of choices and some very dire consequences to those
39:13
choices. So love that series.
39:15
Super excited for Lost Records coming out late next year.
39:21
Wild action game called the The First Berserker Kazan.
39:27
Don't know but look looks like a like a really like cool art
39:30
style. Kind of like a Souls type of
39:33
game. Don't care about that.
39:36
Apex Legends is doing a Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth crossover
39:41
events in January. Skull and Bones, after all these
39:46
years, finally got a release date for February 16th of next
39:51
year. We'll see how that game does.
39:54
Next up, probably one of the biggest surprises out of nowhere
39:58
to where my jaw literally dropped when they announced this
40:02
so arcane Lyon, the studio who does the Dishonored series and
40:07
then did Death Loop a couple years ago.
40:10
They're doing a Marvel Blade video game.
40:15
Because the way the trailer went, or whatever it was, it was
40:17
like in the barbershop, whatever.
40:18
Some black dudes, whatever. God gave me this one to the edge
40:21
up or whatever. Or razor shave or whatever.
40:24
Look, super, you know, atmospheric, whatever.
40:27
And then when it's like the reveal of it being black, I was
40:31
like, what? So I don't think anybody saw
40:34
that coming or whatever. So that's super dope.
40:36
Of course there's no date time frame, whatever on it, so we'll
40:40
see. Twisted Metal season 2 got
40:43
announced. I enjoyed season one.
40:46
Y'all can go check out my my review I did of that.
40:48
I think I talked about that and that Grand Tour is my movie at
40:51
the same time. So but yeah, so go go go check
40:54
out Twist of matter. It's actually pretty solid.
40:58
A new game from people who used to work at Rockstar.
41:03
A new studio called Lightspeed LA announced the game.
41:07
That's like it's like a futuristic sci-fi open war game
41:12
called Last Sentinel. The CJ trailer is interesting,
41:17
so I'm. I'm going to keep it on my
41:17
radar. The first descendant is coming.
41:21
They got a they put a date on it or a release window for next
41:24
summer. We'll see.
41:25
I I kind of enjoyed what I played over there, that beta,
41:28
like a few months back, whatever I got to play in or whatever.
41:31
So we'll we'll see. We'll see.
41:36
Don't care about that. Don't care about that.
41:38
Don't care about that. Don't care about that.
41:41
Hello Games, the studio who does the No Man's Sky, announced a
41:46
new game called Light No Fire. We'll see some other stuff I
41:52
don't really care about. They announced some two new
41:56
story expansions for Final Fantasy 16, one called Echoes of
42:01
the Fallen, which is out right now, and the other one called
42:04
The Rising Tide, which is coming out sometime next year.
42:08
So we'll see. And then the final big
42:11
announcement was a Capcom announced Monster, a new Monster
42:19
Hunter game called Monster Hunter Wiles.
42:22
Once again, another another series I've never really played
42:25
much of. I think I might have Monster
42:28
Hunter War or something, whatever.
42:29
Maybe for like a free PS Plus, I don't know Bomb.
42:34
But yeah, so I know a lot of people are excited for that, but
42:37
that is also in that 2025 window along with GTA6 and many other
42:43
things that got announced today. Only the last thing was a
42:46
border. Skate 3 is finally out on the
42:48
Xbox. So but yeah, so that is it is my
42:53
alarm for me to go get ready for my movie, which is going to be
42:57
airing in about 30 minutes. So let me get ready to wrap this
43:01
up. So, so yeah.
43:03
So All in all like I said some some very, very dope
43:06
announcements that speak to me personally and like I said a lot
43:09
of stuff for a lot of people. But like I said kind of
43:12
scrolling back through this, if I had to say like which ones
43:17
were like my favorite likes to like like the the Blade game was
43:22
dope just from the unknown factor of it.
43:25
But we'll see once that comes out.
43:27
But as far as like stuff that I know day one I am playing top of
43:32
the list is Lost Records, The new game from Life is Strange.
43:38
People that Tales of Kenzera from the Ace Baek voice actor,
43:51
Rise of the Ronan. Yes.
43:55
And those might have been like the biggest, biggest ones.
44:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are probably like like
44:09
like my biggest biggest favorite announcements and stuff.
44:13
They they came out of the show. So, so yeah.
44:16
So we'll see how this all goes and stuff.
44:19
So, but, but yeah, so like I said, I got to go, I'm physical

45:13
the year as well as just for next year and beyond, going to

the future. But yeah, I can't.
45:20
I don't think there's nothing else I want to talk about right
45:22
now. I do.
45:24
And in the future episode I'm also going to talk about I've
45:26
been playing Cult of the Lamb. I'm going to do an episode
