about I mean the big review at the end of the show yeah Star Wars Battlefront
2:02
hence my excellent really great excellent Darth Vader impression it was
2:06
pretty good I thought that's convincing awful actually hated I could have done J
2:10
B that would have gone down better he and I'm
2:16
out uh we we're going to talk about Uncharted 4 B you and I got to play the
2:20
Uncharted 4 multiplay B yeah yeah which is now actually open to the public as of
2:26
today if you when did we play it B before that a few days before that plus
2:33
I don't have a lot to brag about so that's all I got plus I had a little bit
2:35
of excitement before the beta didn't I B you did you uh you're a drug Pusher
2:40
apparently apparently I'm a drug Pusher have you have you this story Matt I have
2:44
I didn't know that's where you were going but now it all all the pieces come
2:46
together uh you know we just going to this little event in s Hills and I'm
2:50
driving on my way to meet Bia not high just normally driving I mean maybe a
2:55
little tired cuz I had had coffee um but you you very politely bought me a coffee
2:59
and you waiting outside the cafe with my coffee for me to come and meet you but
3:03
where were you so I was driving around foolishly I thought I'd drive to S Hills
3:08
not a lot of parking in s Hills I figured it out uh well so did I
3:12
eventually turns out you get the cops to pull you over you can just park anywhere
3:16
why they pull why' they pull you over so I was driving around like in these weird
3:19
abandoned streets like CU I was going for the dodgiest like more isolated
3:22
looking streets thinking like they'll be Parks they're more likely to have a park
3:27
because like no one's going to drive down the weird dodgy like Construction
3:31
Site Street and stuff and like after maybe 5 minutes of doing that I realized
3:35
there's cops behind me and I'm like okay be cool you ain't doing nothing wrong ex
3:39
except answering answering text to body like what kind of coffee do you want
3:43
very discreetly put my phone back in my pocket um both hands on Wheel 10 and two
3:47
or whatever it is keep driving around after a while the cops do the whole
3:50
whoop whoop that's never happened to me before and so I mean you see that in the
3:54
movies who whoop and then I saw that happen I'm like oh he was caught with
3:57
his phone uh it's my fault and for you didn't think it was me you like what a
4:01
what a joke oh leg it leg it run get out of there s like you asleep he gone
4:06
forget him and so the cop like pulls me a really tough looking cop in fact he
4:09
looked a lot like the character Salem from Army of
4:13
2 no one has referenced on like three years four people uh in the audience got
4:19
that reference and it was excellent and all skull and all four of them have now
4:23
tuned out yeah yeah yeah he had the um 40th Day version of course not the
4:27
Devil's Cartel cuz terrible they were villains in that for some reason
4:31
interesting yeah yeah anyway um you know hu like like buff
4:38
dude arm sleeve tats yeah and my first thought was like this guy's not really a
4:42
cop this is a Shakedown in the middle of suburban Sydney U and he's like first question is
4:49
Sir have you had any problem with the police in the past and I'm like uh
4:54
no uh like not in real life I mean in GTA it caus all manner of
5:00
which just baffled him to be honest he had no it was going on so long story
5:03
short he thought I was a drug dealer he asked a lot of questions about drugs
5:06
have you taken drugs have you got drugs can I see your car to expose your drug
5:10
Antics but only because you were driving around the dodgy parts of Sor Hill cuz
5:15
he says cuz he says um you realize you were driving through a notorious drug
5:19
Zone and now I didn't say this but my first thought was to reply you realize
5:23
that like this notorious drug zone is literally one block away from like the
5:26
most popular Street in s Hill like anyone could wander through a notorious
5:31
drug Zone and also it's a very fine line between a s Hills hipster MH and a drug
5:37
drug dealer lot of very fine line yeah yeah and I personally was I
5:43
was wearing like a tropical kind of shirt like I guess I kind of would have
5:45
looked like a drug dealer maybe Circa 1980s Vice City Style drug dealer not a
5:50
good one like a really nervous drug dealer like one that's like hey do you
5:53
want some of the heroin I don't I don't know um what the funniest thing was
5:57
though like the reason he the thing he kept grilling me on was what why are you
6:00
here and and I'm like I'm I'm I'm have here I've got a meeting what's the
6:03
meeting uh it's like it's a work thing I'm going to I'm going to these offices
6:07
what are you doing there look I'm playing I'm playing a video game for now
6:11
what step out of the car please I'm playing video and eventually he goes
6:15
what video game and I'm like uh Uncharted 4 really want his response to
6:18
be oh dope that game's here that's what I'm hoping he's like dude that doesn't
6:22
come out for months Nathan Drake in the his in his house but you are like the last person
6:28
like giving that spiel a cop to be dealing doing in and around drugs the
6:34
best bit was he goes all right and he goes back and in the reiew mirror and
6:37
like there were six cops there now and so I'm going okay this wasn't just like
6:40
a random cop I realize I've driven through what must have been a serious
6:45
drug sting like which means that now they're no longer at their posts right
6:50
so the real drug dealers have just run the hell away he got away got away I I
6:56
helped inadvertently but anyway so so there there one of them was looking
7:00
something up he looks down he goes yeah it story checks out he Googled
7:05
Uncharted and I know that that was him Googling Uncharted for I like I like to
7:09
think that he stopped and watched the E3 trailer as well this looks pretty cool
7:13
see what the release date is yeah check out yep it is oh God it's a good story
7:17
yeah I mean and then we had to go and play an hour we were forced to then go
7:22
play it took me a while to to readjust no you be get it does suck because I
7:27
mean no video game can compare to the thrill of nearly being arrested being
7:32
Captain drama queen let's you know let's imately like you were hiding you
7:37
didn't come over and help and go whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa guys this is my
7:41
boy what was he going to do with this is my boy sounds so
7:45
druggy yo yo what yo yo yo what up cracker whoa I don't mean I mean like
7:50
not like oh man get on the floor EXC step away from the vehicle yeah yeah no
7:54
no he's my friend you should have done me a solid and been like the um been
7:57
like the lookout in The Wire just being on the corner going fa fa St doing bird
8:03
calls it's the F run poo anyway you're darare me so that was
8:09
that was my Uncharted uh 4 experience but later on uh I think we should
8:14
actually talk about the game Spirit sure yeah we'll see let's see what about what
8:18
about you guys what uh apart from obviously Battlefront what games you
8:21
guys been playing oh boy I mean I've been playing just a crapload of Fallout
8:25
4 like too much if you know is there a thing as too oh almost definitely I
8:31
forgot to eat yesterday that's a lie I haven't done that in a while I ate I ate
8:35
I ate but when you ate like did you just go to like canned meats and just stand
8:39
there and eat themal mode and you forgot to eat in the game i n on the side of
8:43
the couch it was let me ask you guys a question sustenance no which
8:49
food which food in Fallout 4 do you think looks the most appealing in real
8:54
life a brao cleaner hey great for great for
9:00
crafting what it's for um probably one of the human limbs it's probably the
9:04
least irradiated what was question I was thought squirrel and a stick looks
9:08
pretty tasty oh yeah yeah I was always into uh oh what was it cram oh what like
9:14
the spam the spam knock yeah see red Rush meate never never not up deathclaw
9:19
meate cuz you know you worked for that meal I imagine deathclaw meate is really
9:25
tough you got to tenderize it with a with a chain gun yeah that's right
9:30
yeah You' just be pulling like lead out of it as well they really like every
9:34
time I like if I get over encumbered I I like Drop Like a deathclaw hand and and
9:39
I'll get like every time I turn around to look at it I get kind of taken a back
9:42
it's huge and I'm like oh God there's a oh no what did I have that it's just
9:46
where where was I keeping this I know I'll throw it inside my dog yeah that's
9:49
right I got to say like I I mean deaths I guess are like the
9:54
closest uh fallout comparison to the dragons from Skyrim and it I I wish it
9:59
felt as cool as uh killing a dragon does nothing's ever as cool as killing a
10:03
dragon though Benjamin that's true it's a dragon mate that's true I feel and I
10:08
feel like if the death it would just be a dragon imagine the the dragon born in
10:12
full out he'd just be really like apathetic and like whatever like it's
10:16
all good it's not a killing a dragon okay who do you think has it worse
10:19
that's why he's chasing the Magic Dragon who do you think has it worse the doine
10:22
in Skyrim or the main character in Fallout what in general in terms of like
10:26
quality of life yeah Fallout had a rough time when I first when I first played
10:31
Fallout I you know you go into the museum at the start and Preston and all
10:34
those guys are there y PR and they say oh yeah there's there's a suit of power
10:37
armor go get that and then and then meet us back here and we'll clear out these
10:41
Raiders I didn't realize it was actually on the building you were in I went
10:44
outside to try and find it and I went through and I was like this game is
10:48
really hard like and oh you tried to like fight reloading right so I hid in the
10:54
convenience store and just was like sniping at it and and and took it down
10:57
eventually like I was like wo that was intense this game's really hard now
11:01
where's that where's that power armor oh no makes with the Minun as well yeah
11:07
yeah exactly I wonder how many people did that I'm like this game's
11:10
I'm out I'm not playing this that is that is you know like it's funny that
11:14
death calls are this terrifying ferocious beast but like can't go
11:19
through doorways no no they try you know who's more terrifying than that the Myer
11:24
Queen which oh yeah Under The Haven seen that yet uh there's a couple of them
11:30
yeah there's one in particular in Boston somewhere under like Grand floor
11:33
building yeah terrifying really hard to kill really to kill and I was in that
11:37
room like way too low level as well I had to do a lot of running away and
11:41
backtracking I've done that many times I've just been like I shouldn't be here
11:45
I like that about Fallout 4 that there are areas that you can't go cuz like
11:49
Oblivion and skym didn't really have that where everything was leveled yeah
11:51
so no yeah I I I agree with that as well I really there are like level 50 enemies
11:56
you can just stumble across it feels like the world's real because yeah and
11:59
and you know those areas are like I'm going to stay away from there until I
12:01
get to thing but I like the the thought of like when I do get to level 40 or
12:04
whatever it's still going to be a and there probably some cool loot yeah I'm
12:07
sure and it's still going to be a goddamn challenge to hopefully anyway
12:11
it's great game so it's taken up my life yeah yeah well you know good we're
12:15
playing that and still playing Witcher three cuz I don't I don't think that
12:18
game ends no it doesn't no never ends keeps going never stops I'm I'm not
12:23
unhappy about it so yeah no no no nor should you be no and B you barely even
12:27
finished that game I know no well say barely like I've put many hours into it
12:32
I've put some hours into it I love that game so much like when we do our game of
12:35
the year show I wonder what my game of the year there's going to be a lot of
12:38
Fallout versus Witcher discussion yeah meus no no no not happening let's go to
12:44
some music and come back and talk about some game award stuff no no all right
12:48
well let's just play a song who knows what's happening after this this is junk
12:51
it from earthworm gym my Tommy tarica you're in 2 R 88.5 FM we are back we are
12:57
back earlier than we anticipated but we're here uh let's talk let's talk the game
13:03
awards so normally this is where we do Show and Tell and I mean the beauty of
13:07
doing this show on a Friday is we got a lot of just like you
13:12
know end of the week news happened today so bang bang bang first thing I want to
13:16
talk about uh rocket League coming to Xbox One yeah which I as an Xbox one uh
13:22
owner owner you got that I mean I've got a PS4 as well but I mean like most of us
13:26
play on Xbox One at big head mode so it's you know not to say we don't love
13:30
the PS4s no no no no we play I like the I like the
13:37
PlayStations just looked down at their phone listen to podcast went is this PO
13:40
oh no oh no no no can let's do it again real quick
13:46
yeah um got to love that deliberate dead air yeah great um yeah and it's it's you
13:53
know it's got a bunch of Gears of War Halo themed stuff which I couldn't care
13:55
about I'm just excited about being able to have a big head mode team I think so
13:59
much fun cuz rocket league is uh became I think surprisingly I don't know if
14:03
it's a surpris to anyone else but to me certainly it became like a an orts game
14:06
like a a huge oh yeah yeah that sort of um the level of pickup on that game
14:13
instantly I mean yeah yeah and I mean I I I haven't played it but I've watched a
14:17
lot of videos and like people pull off these insane stunts and I'm like wow
14:22
probably not going to be able to do that and you like look and you're like no
14:24
they didn't do that on purpose but they did they totally did it on purpose but
14:27
it's a game that like it's just really well designed really simple sort of
14:30
controls that kind of just lets you do that stuff even even like when you don't
14:35
mean to it's kind of like it's such a fun flexible control system that you'll
14:38
just you know hurdle yourself with the ball and hope for the you know what it's
14:42
a lot like if you've ever played Griff ball in Halo yeah totally totally it's
14:46
just that kind of like you know simp you run you smash the ball and then cool
14:50
stuff happens sort of yeah my favorite thing is when if you score a goal the ball
14:56
explodes so I like the the the thought of us like having like a big head mode
14:59
team like fending off against like geek bomb and multile nerdgasm and we should
15:04
we should have like a we'll meet you we'll meet you at 300 p.m. in theing
15:08
totally yeah we can have weekly and and then it got really cold at the end cuz
15:11
you were like against you yeah know we'll be against you for sure all right
15:14
fine but we're playing with you against you it's fine it's fine it will be a
15:18
good time as we Crush you um it'll be really fun make a make a big tournament
15:24
and get all the say yeah yeah we should do that yeah totally let's do it all
15:28
right um look anyone L thing can get in it we haven't done a community night for
15:31
a long time uh February when this game comes out let's organize a massive a
15:36
massive comp we'll and man be great we can organiz some prizes talk to some of
15:41
our indie game Dead friends yeah let's get behind let's like Let's do let's I'm
15:44
sure indie game devs with laugh us to play someone else's game even mention
15:50
that now look we'll look we'll put that under our hats and Sizzle it for later
15:53
let's see what happens um this was interesting this was really interesting um
15:59
Konami apparently banned hideio kajima from going to the uh the game awards to
16:06
accept an award for Middle Gear Solid they're just the worst they're just the
16:09
worst people it's very awkward the whole thing yeah oh God it's been awkward like
16:15
it was awkward very early on when they like the rumors were coming out that
16:17
they were going to take his name off the game yeah but just the way too that this
16:21
was sort of like I mean this was all done behind the scenes and it was only
16:25
when Jeff key came out and said after you know uh keeper suland came out and
16:30
sort of accepted the award on his behalf yeah um that's still pretty cool though
16:34
by way you can have keeper suland accept an award for you one day one day like if
16:39
you guys could have anyone to step in and accept an award for you who would be
16:43
oh God Will Smith I don't know yeah we get him to rap about it as well yeah
16:47
sure why not this is a story of about how I accept the award for B mckinon the
16:53
thing oh good one what do you got good I think I'd really like to see Samuel
16:59
Jackson yeah great I think that' be great um and just shout his entire say
17:03
it again say it again I think uh ke suland said more in that acceptance
17:08
speech than he did in the entirety of and all he said was thank you yeah
17:13
yeah yeah and he said it like that as well yeah what in his voice thank you
17:17
but like it was only yet after that that cut back to Jeff key and he he called it
17:21
out and he said look as you noticed kajima isn't here this is why like a few
17:25
days ago the lawyer specifically said he wasn't allowed to travel to the awards
17:29
at all yeah it's it's great I think that he called that out yeah totally because
17:35
I mean they think no one would notice that he wasn't there like one of the
17:38
biggest games of the year yeah but it's like maybe it's all because kima's
17:42
kajima what if this is all like a big PR stunt right could what if this is all
17:45
like a PS done for Metal Gear Solid six which is going to be better than five
17:49
cuz five was doooo Metal Gear Solid six Kojima yes I would play the well cuz
17:54
what it seems like what actually happened is his contract is you know uh
17:58
like so he's been let go but his contract from what I read is still it's
18:02
still valid until December and there's a clause in that contract that is like
18:06
he's not allowed to uh promote anything else that isn't
18:11
like I think what it's called like a non-compete or it's called something
18:14
like that game he's promoting he can't be trusted he could
18:19
say anything but he's probably already in his mind thinking all right this is
18:22
the project I'm going to do next I'm going to work on this with this so he's
18:25
not allowed to kind of be out there and being like hey guys here's a Kickstarter
18:28
for my new thing until that kind of stage so their approach seems to be to
18:34
just hide him for like for months I don't know he's just in a little room
18:38
with no windows and they feed him once a day like he's in
18:41
timeout it be great they brought him and he had to come out with the lawyers and
18:45
then and then they just whispered what he what he was to say what he say great
18:48
oh so he goes to talk and kland runs over and just says thank
18:53
you yeah very baffling but I mean it's good to see that Konami are very quickly
18:57
becoming the new EA like people aren't happy except EA make
19:02
money to Boom shots fired I'm real mad
19:07
get the lawyers get the lawyers no they can't they're busy
19:12
protecting uh another we Telltale Games can't stop announcing new games
19:19
Unstoppable like the stuff that hasn't even come out yet when will it end so
19:23
what so they I mean they're already working on um a unknown Marvel games mhm
19:28
there was another one they said they were going to do which I can't remember
19:31
on my head I but I just had a thought I would love to watch them I would love to
19:34
see them make a Muppets game yeah they don't need anything else no but that
19:38
would be cool don't encourage them kmit the Frog and and Miss biggy as as
19:42
Telltale characters no but they're doing yeah they've just announced that they're
19:44
doing um a Walking Dead Michonne spin-off which is
19:48
yeah awesome um and uh Batman they
19:53
tackling Batman Batman uh Telltale Games coming in 2016
19:59
oh soon yeah which which is interesting because I'm pretty sure and I'm going to
20:03
fact check it now very quickly I'm pretty sure the the sort of
20:06
unnamed uh Marvel license that they said they're working on isn't until 2017 I
20:12
think it might be later so either they've been working on this sort of
20:15
already or it's just kind of du the contracts or whatever it's it's wor it
20:19
way closer is it nice that video games as a medium like there's no like limit
20:24
on what a person like if if a company comes to you and says make this game
20:28
there's no contractual obligation to that company you know what I mean like
20:32
they can make Marvel and DC content oh yeah you know what I mean whereas uh for
20:36
example a TV channel couldn't air you know yeah they could contract you know
20:42
like it's that's really cool do they have a big whiteboard at Telltale with
20:44
just names of stuff they like and they just tick them as they go along now that
20:48
one got that one that one Thrones I didn't play Game of Thrones no I haven't
20:52
yet either oh I see I just went back into it this week is it good no is it
20:56
it's really good except it's just like it's so harrowing is it is it boring
21:01
imag no no no it's not boring at all right yeah like think of how disturbing
21:06
and uh and extreme Game of Thrones is as a series or as a book now imagine that
21:12
in a game where anytime anything bad happens you feel like you did it you
21:16
caused it I don't know I can't deal man I could do it Walking Dead was hard
21:20
enough as it was it's about as as bad as Walking Dead brutal except I cared more
21:24
about walking de anyway it's you know what it's like walking dead um in that
21:29
you know those decisions matter except it's more like Game of Thrones in the
21:32
sense that it's Game of Thrones uh outcomes are nowhere near as predictable
21:36
like there some instances where it's just like uh that's kind of annoying
21:39
though is it there's a great there's a great bit that feels straight out of
21:41
season one where it's like you you realize you've become Ned star like you
21:45
try to play Things what in your mind what seems like a reasonable thing and
21:48
then you realize that that's exactly what Screwed you for all you know and
21:53
well cuz you're playing like seven eight different characters and a bunch of any
21:57
of them can die that's to that's too much I can't deal I'm I'm stressed even
22:00
listening to you talk about it but it is if you're a Game of Thrones fan it is
22:03
also great L it's got all the voice actors like you've got um Cersei
22:07
Lannister and Peter Dinklage I mean I'm really missing Peter Dinklage cers
22:12
Lannister's voice actress name uh what Lena H I just assumed you didn't know
22:15
cuz he didn't use the name no I just assumed other people didn't know so the
22:18
character don't make assumptions man especially one of your audience is
22:22
jofrey in can you slap Joffrey I think Joffrey is already um spoiler alert not
22:27
around uh he up up at the the family go where did he go what's up what you mean
22:32
so it's set in between season um I want to say four and five so then say it or
22:38
three and four it's it's sort of it's sort of in between uh Seasons yeah cool
22:43
cool cool cool yeah I'm not going to get it you absolutely should it stresses me
22:47
out the Batman the Batman trailer didn't really show anything about like footage
22:51
or anything like that but it was kind of just a teaser so it does have to be more
22:54
excited I think than the Marvel one did um just because the whole concept of
22:59
that Marvel thing is a lot more vague I mean there's a lot of characters in
23:03
Marvel I mean it could be Squirrel Girl it could be Jessica Jones you know oh
23:08
hopefully that was great well I mean I think the beauty of those Telltale Games
23:12
is it can be a character who isn't um I mean they could really pick yeah I would
23:17
love a vulture game imag a villains game Thunderbolts Thunderbolts yeah oh that'
23:21
be great you don't know Thunderbolts was a team that was just consistent of old
23:24
villains Thundercats so you had like power Venom was in it and like Green
23:30
Goblin oh yeah yeah yeah but look I I that's not the one they announced
23:35
Batman's the one they announced um but I personally hope that they take a similar
23:39
approach with Batman and I mean we've had Batman games I think this game
23:42
should be about one Alfred Penny weather that would be great
23:47
yeah totally just like so it's just like a lot of dialogue scenes and leaves and
23:53
just cleaning the house fold the clothes mop up that came and then like just
23:59
stand there with a waiting for a [Music] coup come up with some good quips when
24:04
he comes back oh I do hope the cars in one piece Master win you watch episodes
24:09
of down Abby in the game yeah yeah yeah research I don't think it's going to be
24:15
the Michael Kane version it could be you don't know what if keep Southerland
24:18
voice Michael Kane's um Alfred it would it would be great if you had one of
24:22
those like line by line you could assemble your own Michael Kane Alfred
24:25
speech so it's like a soundboard of Michael Kane like let me tell you a
24:29
story must way I went B to the mall one
24:33
day and I saw a man needing a tangerine well where's the story going she was
24:39
only 16 Master Wayne so we burned down the forest and you weren't meant to blow
24:43
the bloody dos up that's a script right there we've
24:46
already got the first scene nailed it um Telltale yeah be right look before we go
24:51
cuz we're run short on the old time uh another really cool bit of news from
24:55
thingo today that game awards old
24:59
by the way the game like I know shut up so stupid is that the name of it no it
25:05
is there's a new like game award uh ceremony every year and none of them
25:10
have any Integrity this this isn't what John male hosted like a the the new no
25:16
that was a different one that was um the G that was the one that spiked the the
25:20
spike or what used to be Spike that's just my point though like there's
25:24
confusion there's like there's like six different like Game Awards
25:29
and none of them there's no Central one that everyone looks at and cares about
25:33
is this the first year that this is happening sounds like it would be the
25:35
central it's called The Game Awards and it was it was a big like it was it was
25:39
huge yeah you know yeah well it was hu it was a game awards you know there's
25:45
nothing there's nothing to distinguish this from any others but look that the
25:48
other bit of news that came out that was really big psychonaut 2 has been
25:51
announced and it's going to be crowdfunded pych of course a really
25:55
popular series made by Tim schaer in kids with cool powers to go people's
26:01
heads and you know look at their inner Psy that would be gross no but cool yeah
26:07
good Lord scanners yeah such a good the first one was so great I'm going to go
26:12
back and replay the first one just just putting that out there yeah I don't know
26:16
if like there are no HD versions or anything that was that was something
26:19
that fans were like trying to get made that's something that I wouldn't be
26:22
surprised if it did if it would happen now or if it became if it became some
26:27
sort of like goal of the crowdfunding oh that was like included with the
26:31
crowdfunding is different for this than kickstar and everything because you're
26:34
actually an investor and they have uh it's on their their own proprietary
26:37
cring it's not Kickstarter anything no and they've got a little slider on there
26:40
and you can check out the the the financials and things and basically they
26:44
saying if you invest $500 uh in the game and they break even you get that $500
26:48
back and then uh that's that's a really great way of yeah it's interesting if
26:53
you in oh really yeah if I give them $500 to make this game and then they
26:56
break even then I'll get the $500 back and if they if they like uh I think if
27:00
they make they sell as many copies as they sold of the original you get like
27:03
an extra 300 on top of that kind of thing it's really can we invest as a as
27:07
a uh head is that cool sure why not um still have to give them the money that's got to
27:14
be he'll do it when you say we Ben give them $500 and then give it back to me
27:20
when it get makes it back God is it so sure thing buy sure thing look let's go
27:24
to a song this is Uncharted 2 from the video games live soundtrack we'll be
27:29
back after this to talk about Uncharted 4 here we
27:34
[Music]
27:39
go big head mode back to talk games and uh really really struggle to get that
27:45
out for some reason no no no that was deliberate emphasis part okay Co deliberate
27:50
emphasis wrong Sal a damn it damn
27:53
it uh Uncharted 4 so um obviously as we
27:58
that was me trying to like it's what hit a pen on a on a metal like like like a
28:04
toast give you toast yeah yeah missing the whole glass component there well it's
28:09
10 is the worst not working for me at all you love it Uncharted 4 is out now
28:14
we played the multiplayer go we played the multiplayer after Ben got arrested
28:18
for dealing drugs um let off let off the hook got arrested well got away with it
28:23
really I what did you okay I had a I played a lot of Uncharted two
28:26
multiplayer not so much of three um and I played probably more of three
28:31
um I mean pretty much the same it's the same mechanics pretty much all the way
28:34
through uh I had a lot of fun I had a lot of fun with it yeah I mean I didn't
28:39
have a bad time and I didn't there was nothing about the game that I didn't
28:44
like but it just kind of um it didn't grab me like I mean i' I loved Uncharted
28:50
3 Uncharted 3's multiplayer was uh really vertical yeah it was really
28:55
changed the landscape of just running around corridors and this like I mean
28:58
cuz this is the first um and I could be totally wrong here but I'm pretty sure
29:02
this is the first Uncharted game where Neil dman is the lead designer and the
29:08
director and who who did and Bruce and Bruce uh Stanley Bruce I'm not sure but
29:13
yeah but NE jman who did the last of us so this Uncharted is a lot more grounded
29:18
in that kind of realistic physics and realistic character models and so it's
29:22
attempting to be more like that but it's kind of it's a weird line that they've
29:26
that they've walked in this multi because on one hand it isn't as vertical
29:31
and it isn't as okay climb everything and jump off really tall buildings um
29:35
but it's still has like Supernatural stuff like you summon um you know
29:39
deities as like a kill streak kind of that's actually my problem one of my
29:42
problems with it is I thought it was too supernaturally
29:46
like thing I mean it's a thing but I mean it's a thing in the overall Arc of
29:50
the stories of each of the games that usually appears during the end you know
29:55
uh throughout the story of Uncharted it's like oh what's this thing how are
29:57
they doing this so and then it gets revealed as being this artifact or
30:00
whatever but it was just so present it's it was like kill streaks right so you um
30:04
you get kills you earn money and you can use that money at the end of every round
30:07
or or whenever to um unlock perks which might be weapons which might be uh a
30:12
buddy to come in and and help and and fight for you yeah or it might be this
30:16
artifact this Relic which lets you do these Supernatural things like disappear
30:19
or show people on a map or whatever or kill a bunch of people and it just
30:22
seemed very out of place they that was in Uncharted 3 multiplayer though
30:28
prevalent it um except I think like that it's more it feels more disjointed in
30:32
this cuz Uncharted 3 was a lot more of like an arcadey kind of multiplayer
30:38
shooter you know that was a kind of game where you know you'd climb up the top of
30:42
a a high building and maybe jump across a ledge and Sh a rocket launcher and
30:47
there like it's that kind of okay it's more Halo is I guess yeah I think I know
30:51
where whereas this like visually and um some of the mechanics felt a lot more
30:57
Last of Us gu well even even even to the point of like whenever you get shot or
31:01
killed you you get downed just like in the last player and you you need to then
31:05
either execute or um or you can get revived but all like in in the last of
31:12
us I guess cuz it's a more brutal game the executions were like these cool
31:15
animations and like these cool moments you know that that make make you go what
31:20
dude but in this it just seemed you you go up to them you press square and he
31:24
just kicks them and it's like it was and it was like I get it's not a not really
31:28
complain I don't think it's worth complaining about but it was just
31:29
interesting to see that that was lacking but I think your point of the
31:33
verticality missing the maps we played two maps the map seemed very gamey if
31:39
that makes sense they seemed very multiplayer map like Unreal Tournament
31:43
had had maps that were designed for a multiplayer experience for example this
31:46
felt a lot like that doesn't feel like a real place didn't feel like a real place
31:49
you know a lot of cover a lot of like a lot of like low hanging walls and this
31:54
just seemed I'd just like to see in a video game one day a character into a
31:58
large room and just say to the group whoa whoa whoa guys I just I just got a
32:01
really bad feeling we shouldn't walk through here why what's up well I just
32:04
there's a lot of knee high walls and I mean traditionally you don't see kni
32:09
walls just in any architecture ever but I just got a really bad feeling this
32:12
could turn into a shootout somebody somebody left all this ammo and health
32:15
packs just outside we just Bunch yeah like he we had some ancient ruins and
32:19
for some reason in the middle of this giant Amphitheater there's just six
32:23
identically length KNE High walls what I'm even talking about no what was the
32:26
purpose of that wall what is that wall protecting yeah and now we're in a cave
32:30
and for some reason the same structures are here in a natural formation also
32:34
very symmetrical there's the same amount number of bits of cover on this side
32:37
that there are on that side it's almost I don't know yeah um look I think there
32:42
was a kataku piece on the beta today as well but summed up kind of how I felt
32:46
which that it's a game that doesn't really have an identity and that's how
32:51
it felt to me like it didn't have a flavor it didn't I mean Uncharted
32:56
is such a strong flavor in itself you know swashbuckling in Indiana Jones savy
33:01
and it's the multiplayer should reflect that you should be able to swing on
33:04
chandeliers and swashbuckle and um and sort of do you know fun Malay stuff I
33:10
don't know it should feel like a fun action movie and we did play I mean we
33:14
did play a very small portion of it I mean that some of the other levels might
33:16
be might cater to that one thing that was cool is the we got to play with the
33:22
um the new addition to the game the Rope thing like the the grapple cool uh it
33:27
was it was so much yeah you can like it's like it's like the bow bow and
33:31
arrow of this year you can like grapple swing around and then press square and
33:34
then leap off the grapple and then take someone down it was just like I did
33:37
really like the grapple because it felt a lot more like that was one of those
33:41
realistic mechanics that felt more weighted you know like you have to you
33:44
have to manually get it out your grapple aim it and then aim where you want to
33:49
swing it's not like a kind of one button zip across the map sort of like Batman
33:53
yeah it's not a Batman or a seven grade Syndicate or you know Rico rod
33:58
type maneuver uh it's a lot more manual so when you do pull one of those like
34:03
swing take Downs off you feel quite cool or as B and I discovered you can hold
34:08
down L1 to P just hold out your grapple hook and just run around and then like
34:13
do a super like a one hit Mal yeah great we died a lot of times trying to do that
34:17
to each other did it that's how I could tell where Bia was in the M cuz I just
34:21
see like Sully running across the map holding a grappling hook in the air um I
34:27
I mean I had a good time time it's the beta it's I mean the game's still a few
34:29
months I guess from being released it's sort of we had a little bit of it but uh
34:34
it was fun I just feel like it's lacking a bit of depth for my longevity yeah
34:39
like I mean I just I mean I feel like a game like Uncharted it's one of those
34:42
single player games that everyone who has a PS4 is going to get certainly and
34:46
so it doesn't hurt like having a multiplay mode it's sort of like it's
34:49
going to be populated just by the fact that everyone has the game yeah um it's
34:52
just not a game type that I feel like I would go out of my way to play you don't know
35:00
I've never I've never played multiplayer in one of them so yeah played single
35:03
player but I mean they're not really you play The Last of Us multiplayer uh no
35:07
God it was good though yeah that was a game that was one that I really did get
35:11
like like I would go out of my way to play I bought PS3 to play those games
35:14
and then I played through the single player and then I was kind of like cool
35:17
back to the Xbox well actually it's now made me a little bit worried because
35:20
Neil dman uh I don't because he's just picked up on the franchise where uh God
35:26
I can't remember her name left off that's right yeah um I don't want it to
35:32
seem sort of sort of half ass like cuz I mean at the stage the multiplayer just
35:36
seems like a not as good version of what it used to be you know what I mean and I
35:40
don't want that to be reflected in the single player that's just a con like cuz
35:43
I mean we know he they can make games cuz Last of Us was a godamn masterpiece
35:46
and the mplayer was great this just lacked that spark you know what I mean
35:50
so I wonder if that's going to I don't think it will but I wonder if it's going
35:53
to translate into the single player as well it be interesting to see what
35:56
happens with that it will uh watch this space and uh I guess we'll find out I
36:00
mean the beta's out there now you can download it uh if you had the Nathan
36:04
Drake collection oh on the PS4 so look maybe I'll play bit over the weekend and
36:09
see if my opinion changes but you know at this stage it's like it's fun but I'm
36:14
not I'm not going to lose any sleep over not being able to play it right you know
36:17
what I mean yeah um look we're going to we're going to play a song then come
36:21
back and talk about Star Wars Battlefront here's a track um bit of an
36:25
unknown one you might recognize it
36:33
here we are here we are um just having the laughs we couple
36:38
of mates chatting games having a good time uh Star Wars Battlefront
36:43
now look uh coming off the back of our chat
36:49
about Uncharted 4 um I'm worried now CU I I've had a lot of fun playing
36:54
Battlefront come on calm down I've had a lot of fun playing Battlefront I'm
36:59
worried that this review is going to sound more negative than I really feel
37:05
about Battlefront I got you on that just don't give a negative review no no no
37:08
see like from I don't okay I don't I haven't had a bad time playing on uh
37:14
playing Battlefront at all and I've had some really fun matches but like I'm
37:19
just left with this really overwhelming feeling that you know what if this game
37:23
wasn't a Star Wars game yeah I would not care I wouldn't play it and I I don't
37:28
think many other people would I really really like it but I'm really really bad
37:32
at it and uh and so when I play with people it sounds like I don't like it
37:36
because I'm very vocal and uh are you sure you want to keep playing
37:43
I'm like yeah yeah really getting character with the wook ex right yeah
37:48
know fun but I agree like I think of it a lot of the fun of it is is the sound
37:53
effects and the music and the and the and the feeling of running in and
37:56
storming ho as a bunch of storm troop oh I mean hands down it's a beautifully
38:00
made game like it looks sounds feels great like um yeah all those really
38:05
visceral moments where you are just charging on the Battlefront and there's
38:10
you know lasers zipping left and right and there's Tie fighters shooting in the
38:13
sky like this everything thanks for the no no no keep going uh you a huge Walker
38:20
ambles across the field Toronto
38:25
gosh well that was and B's brief career is the stand fix guy from police academ
38:32
shut I wrote on the back of an atat the other day oh that was my Raptor sorry go
38:38
go on go on go but like all those and like when a hero arrives yeah or or a villain
38:45
hello great [Music]
38:50
emper but like it it really yeah it does there's a lot of that kind of um
38:55
Battlefield drama that can just fold you know and it's really fun where that
38:59
achievement you get when you take down a villain or a hero or it feels like
39:03
you're in Star Wars yeah it really does um but it's just like it's it's the gam
39:09
Play It's like a few gameplay mechanics like one really big one that's just kind
39:13
of been bucking me more and more um is I wish this game had classes yeah yeah
39:18
like the original had classes uh yeah the original had classes really hard to
39:22
question that for a second um yeah this does like a weird blend of of that and
39:27
like a battlefield oh no but even Battlefield classes yeah Battlefield
39:31
yeah well you can you can equip like quick equip two two lots of things but
39:35
still it's not like yeah it's nothing that really informs a player's role
39:39
which I love more and like I mean you're saying that you're not too good at it
39:42
like that's something that uh For Me classes were always great at doing with
39:47
Battlefield because um you know if you weren't someone who was going to go out
39:51
there and get a really high KD spread you could just be an engineer and and
39:54
look after the vehicle that's why that exists it's to balance
39:58
and I know that Klo has always said that he would love to in battle in
40:02
Battlefront be able to just fly one of those uh
40:06
transport vehicles um you know something and and
40:11
just move troops which is which is cool yeah that sounds fascinating I mean it's
40:17
it's the same I mean classic Carlo he's chosen the most riveting role it's the
40:21
same thing I said about uh I don't know four weeks ago whatever when we played
40:25
the beta like nothing's changed the game is the game is is just it just lacks a
40:30
lot it's it's I forgot what I was going to say one thing I really don't like is
40:35
I just I just have the you know the bog Standard Version so I don't have Hans
40:38
Blaster yet but people have played it while do and they just kill me is that the
40:43
dl444 or whatever it is yeah yeah oh man that's great that's a great gun I don't
40:47
have you can use it in um yeah in survival survival yeah really good point
40:51
as well I'm sure you did B um survival's fun make some more noises survival is
40:56
fun but I wish it was four players yeah I agree it's weird that it's only two
41:00
players although it's two player split screen as well which is which is a nice
41:03
little bonus it's a rare thing in games these days to have split screen anymore
41:07
but yeah we tried to play with with three and I was like where why what oh
41:11
okay and it's a game mode that feels like it's made for four but it's only
41:15
two player I just don't feel like there's enough going on it it just feels
41:18
like a very oh that's what I was going to say it's a very it feels like a very
41:21
stripped back Bare Bones game and be bear in mind you only played the beta uh
41:27
with only had the two modes so there there's quite a few there's quite a lot
41:31
of modes in um yeah but it's okay to have only played
41:36
the beta I really like the dog the the the dog fights and I thought I was
41:40
actually good at those but then my friend pointed out that there's a lot of
41:43
AI fight ships as well and if you look at your score you can see how many of
41:47
your kills were actual people and how many were just you know the crappy oh
41:51
yeah of course but I wouldn't mind if there were more AI if it had if it was
41:56
more like Titanfall
42:27
[Laughter]
42:57
tried real hard so look it's um that was pretty good yeah I like and I have had fun in
43:04
it and I still have yet to play um yet to play around with just a big group of
43:08
friends which we really into to organize because I I I do want to see how how
43:12
much it changes if you have like 10 people or more you know in like the
43:18
blast or the supremacy the walk result
43:21
is fun but I think really not convincing yeah it's just kind of it's the one it's
43:26
the first one that you kind of want to go towards and you you get over it very
43:31
quickly I think I think yeah I think it's still a bit of bit of Star Wars
43:34
love yeah I mean and it's very unbalanced you realize that um you
43:39
realize that the alliance really don't have any land vehicles at all yeah um
43:44
that's quite simple procedure to win you just have to uh the alliance who's the
43:46
alliance Rebel Alliance oh would say Rebels I mate well they're they're an
43:50
alliance yeah n Rebels what when they Bann together yeah no look I mean I I don't
43:57
know what it was like in the beta but in the real game they just called The
43:59
Alliance no they're not they bloody not does the game feel ah I don't know shut
44:05
up buddy it does have a lot of game modes some of them are yeah it has I
44:09
haven't I don't think I've Haven played all of them yet well I don't think a lot
44:11
of people play some of them cuz wait a long time to start a game with the Droid
44:15
one the Droid one like some of them you just won't find a game and then it's
44:19
it's is like Titanfall has it died off people's not not I just think it's like
44:24
people gravitate towards a few modes I mean it's always a risk with a with a
44:27
new game to launch with like 10 modes cuz you you're already segmenting how
44:32
many like your Your Right audience base you know your gamer base um like
44:37
Titanfall did it well because they started with a few core ones and then
44:40
with each expansion they introduced a new mode so it will kind of get a surge
44:45
which is good because every time it comes out everyone will be playing that
44:47
one it's like a new thing but even then if you go to play Titanfall now um no
44:52
one like everyone's still everyone just plays people still playing Titanfall
44:55
yeah right do you think this game is going toot stick around like do you
44:58
think people are going to be it's going to depend totally on the DLC I think I
45:02
think when the new Star Wars comes out there's going to be huge um huge hype
45:06
and everyone's going to go to the the only Star Wars thing they have to play
45:09
which will be this there is a map that that's just launched um Battle of Jak
45:14
Battle of jaku which is based which is the the battle that happens in between
45:18
Return of the Jedi and the new movie so like I I wouldn't be surprised if
45:21
they're planning on going full like this is literally the best time this game
45:25
could come out ever so yeah because the excitement is at its peak I mean then
45:29
the movie comes out and the movie's crap shut up'll you'll see and we've got a
45:34
problem I just kind of wait for the gungan DLC that's what I'm Wai for that
45:37
was my that was my G impressive no for me it's all about playable judger
45:41
playable judger not doing that but look yeah so it's it's it's got its floors uh
45:46
and if you're a first person shoot of multiplayer ficado you know you might
45:50
have problems with it but if you just want a Star Wars multiplayer game that's
45:54
what it's there for and it does it great I do want that yeah yeah and it's the
45:57
only option so that's true that's true uh Disney Infinity Three Corner the
