• 0:03
  What's up, Y'all, and welcome back to Danny to Talk.
• 0:06
  I'm your host Robert, and today today we have a lot of very dope
• 0:12
  stuff to talk about, primarily the upcoming fall video game
• 0:19
  lineup. So I hope everybody out there
• 0:22
  has been doing well. You know, I'm busy as always,
• 0:28
  but life is good and I'm very excited to record this because
• 0:33
  as I was kind of like thinking through my head of like okay,
• 0:37
  I'm going to talk about this show or that thing or whatever,
• 0:41
  I started kind of over complicating things and I'm like
• 0:44
  Robert that that's not how we do things, you know, we like to
• 0:47
  just you know. Do what is on my heart, what is
• 0:52
  on my mind, and that is video games right now and of course a
• 0:55
  couple of shows. But before getting to all that,
• 0:58
  as always, if this is your first time here, welcome.
• 1:02
  But if you're a returning listener and or watcher, then
• 1:05
  welcome back. Y'all know here Danny to talk.
• 1:08
  It's all about fatherhood and family.
• 1:10
  Manga, animated TV and movies and video games so well that I
• 1:22
  don't have the tablet. Son.
• 1:24
  Bash. Bash.
• 1:26
  Yes, bash. I don't have it.
• 1:29
  Where's traffic? It's on the bed, son.
• 1:37
  Not even a minute. And a half into the show I can.
• 1:42
  I can hear the pitter patter of his feet coming.
• 1:45
  I can hear the Stampede coming. And of course, like always it,
• 1:48
  it wouldn't be a Danny to Talk episode without Vash having a
• 1:52
  special appearance and I'm not going to cut that one out.
• 1:55
  Y'all were just here hear him in the background and stuff.
• 2:00
  So, but, but yeah, like I said. I hope everybody out there is
• 2:04
  doing well. Hope life is treating you good.
• 2:08
  I hope anybody that might have been affected by all the
• 2:11
  different crazy stuff that's going on in the world, and I
• 2:13
  hope you are safe and taken care of because it's it's so much
• 2:17
  craziness just going on all across the world.
• 2:23
  But like I said today, the primary topic of the show will
• 2:28
  be talking about what games I'm excited for from now through the
• 2:34
  remainder of the year. Some stuff I might want to put
• 2:37
  on Y'all's radar to kind of be on lookout for, aside from like
• 2:40
  all the big stuff everybody knows.
• 2:42
  But we'll get to that in a second.
• 2:46
  Like I said, in general, life and stuff has been pretty solid.
• 2:52
  Few stressful things here and there.
• 2:54
  Like we we we might be going in the morning to give my wife a
• 2:57
  new car because which which kind of sucks because I'm I'm kind of
• 3:02
  putting this precarious position.
• 3:28
  To where? Shout out to real quick my
• 3:08
  infamous video game shirt probably the oldest piece of
• 3:13
  clothing merge I have because I got this.
• 3:16
  I've had this since the game came out in 2009 and it's still
• 3:19
  my my my one of my favorite comfort shirts.
• 3:22
  But but yeah, so you know, I'm kind of in this worst situation
• 3:27
  with my wife's. Like, I am literally in the home
• 3:33
  stretch and y'all probably heard me talk, heard me talk about it
• 3:35
  a few months back, but literally we're I'm under $3000 left to
• 3:40
  pay on the car. And so it would have been paid
• 3:42
  off by Christmas, but especially after the accident happened with
• 3:48
  the car last Christmas and different stuff that's happened
• 3:51
  throughout the year or whatever, it's kind of that thing of like
• 3:54
  okay, do I want to pay it off? And then be dealing with more
• 3:59
  repairs and stuff, whatever. Or just go ahead and just bite
• 4:01
  the bullet now, trade it in upgraded or whatever.
• 4:05
  And you know, because because especially with how busy my
• 4:10
  family is and our lifestyle and stuff, with all the sports and
• 4:13
  the traveling and stuff, whatever, we got to have
• 4:16
  reliable, dependable transportation for my family and
• 4:21
  stuff, especially my wife and kids.
• 4:24
  So that'll be the move. So hopefully we can go get that
• 4:28
  stuff situated in the morning or by the time y'all are hearing
• 4:32
  this, maybe it's already happened, but I'll say so that
• 4:35
  that's going on. But you know, that kind of one
• 4:39
  thing I kind of wanted to touch on a little bit that was kind of
• 4:42
  like on my mind. Was, I guess kind of like and I
• 4:48
  of course, like I said, I know there's so much crazy stuff
• 4:50
  going on out there in the world or whatever, but it's like.
• 4:54
  Just putting out a message to kind of like regardless of how
• 4:58
  crazy life and stuff may be, can you or, you know, maybe there
• 5:08
  are certain things or goals that you are wanting or whatever or
• 5:14
  things might be falling in place like you want them to be.
• 5:19
  Sometimes we have to, like, take a moment to step back.
• 5:23
  And just kind of reflect on where we currently are, where
• 5:30
  we've been on our journey of life as and so like wow.
• 5:37
  Of course there, there, there's so many, of course there's so
• 5:39
  many things that I'm hoping for and goals I'm trying to reach,
• 5:44
  whatever. Like, of course I want to get
• 5:45
  out of this freaking small department and stuff and you
• 5:50
  know, get a big house and. All these different things, but
• 5:57
  those things will come in due time because I will say, you
• 6:01
  know, I I am kind of like I'm reflecting or whatever.
• 6:06
  I'm grateful and fortunate and blessed and whatever other
• 6:11
  verbiage and term you want to use to have a home period
• 6:17
  because I I see it every day, especially over in the area
• 6:20
  where I work where especially like with how crazy these heat,
• 6:24
  the heat and temperatures. And stuff are.
• 6:26
  I'm grateful to have a home some place safe to lay my head at
• 6:31
  night and stuff. It might not be the best and
• 6:34
  perfect, but it's better than you know the alternative and
• 6:40
  same thing. Same thing with the work or
• 6:42
  whatever. I'm glad to have a majority
• 6:45
  stress free and flexible job and working situation to where you
• 6:53
  know I can kind of adjust my schedule as I need to whatever
• 6:58
  kind of you know within reason of course kind of come and go as
• 7:02
  need be. I have a very understanding and
• 7:06
  awesome manager and team and stuff at work to where you know
• 7:12
  if if I need to leave early for something or coming late or
• 7:17
  whatever the case might be or whatever.
• 7:19
  You know we we have that flexibility to kind of do those
• 7:22
  things. And like I said, like some of
• 7:26
  these stars just kind of just like reflected in my mind again
• 7:29
  as I was driving somewhere near work or whatever one day or it's
• 7:37
  just wherever just driving. And you know, I'm just looking
• 7:40
  at while I'm at the light or whatever and I see somebody, you
• 7:43
  know, walking you know, down the sidewalk or whatever with
• 7:47
  groceries from they went to the store or whatever.
• 7:50
  And it just kind of just took me back to when I grew up whatever
• 7:54
  like, you know, in my home or whatever.
• 7:56
  We we never had a car growing up or I don't even know if I don't
• 8:02
  even think my momma had ever, ever even got her got her
• 8:05
  driver's license, you know, in the 60 plus years that that she
• 8:08
  lived or whatever. So we never had a car.
• 8:11
  And so I definitely remember plenty of times where it was
• 8:15
  like, hey, you know, my momma, either both of us together or
• 8:18
  she would send me or whatever it catch me to be or my mom would
• 8:21
  go by herself, whatever it catch me to be with us.
• 8:22
  Like, hey, we got to go grocery shopping or whatever.
• 8:26
  And if we didn't have a family member or a friend that was
• 8:29
  available to take us or whatever, well, hey, we walk
• 8:32
  into the store, we walk into Brookshire Brothers, we walk
• 8:34
  into Walmart, whatever, and walk them back with the groceries and
• 8:42
  stuff, whatever. And so you know it is what it
• 8:45
  is. You know, you do, you definitely
• 8:47
  you know. Do what you got to do to live
• 8:49
  and to survive. But it's like seeing stuff like
• 8:52
  that just like to just took me back to to the older days of my
• 8:56
  youth of like man, I'm I'm. Grateful.
• 8:59
  I don't have to do that anymore. And that that sounds like kind
• 9:04
  of why. You know why?
• 9:07
  Yeah. Sometimes I might gripe and
• 9:10
  whatever I do still like for for my kids.
• 9:15
  Friends who might need a ride home from practice or after a
• 9:19
  game or whatever, me and my wife are always down to do that.
• 9:24
  Like we are the household, We are the parents that are in
• 9:27
  their role. Because once again, myself
• 9:30
  growing up, you know, I was always having to ask for a ride.
• 9:35
  Home or once again fortunately because because of where we
• 9:39
  lived in town and it wasn't too crazy for me to walk whatever.
• 9:43
  It was literally like down the streets so to speak whatever or
• 9:47
  across the highway or whatever. So worst case scenario whatever.
• 9:50
  I could walk home if if nobody was available to whatever.
• 9:54
  But but you know, but that that that's why I like, I do those
• 9:57
  things to where, you know, I'm going to pick up picking up my
• 10:00
  kids from school or practice whenever like, hey, so when
• 10:03
  someone needs to arrive, it's like whatever, sure, you know,
• 10:06
  take them whatever and drop them off.
• 10:08
  Because we've seen so many situations to where you know
• 10:11
  we've been driving home after a game or whatever and one of my
• 10:17
  kids, friends or teammates, whatever is walking, we'd be
• 10:20
  like, hey, you need a ride because I'll never forget.
• 10:24
  I probably thought about this on the pockets at the time, but
• 10:26
  it's like I never forget after one of my daughter's games, my
• 10:30
  wife was kind of, you know, late coming back home, whatever,
• 10:34
  because we literally live around the corner from from, from the
• 10:36
  school, whatever. And so she was like, yeah, we
• 10:40
  had to give, you know, her, my daughter's friend, a ride home,
• 10:43
  whatever. And I mapped it out and the walk
• 10:48
  was estimated to take at least 40 minutes.
• 10:52
  Now that might be doable for me as a 33 year old adult, but
• 10:57
  asking a teenage girl to walk that far because I guess her
• 11:02
  older sister was supposed to pick her up and that fell
• 11:04
  through. And so the Mama told her like,
• 11:06
  well, you better walk home. And this was in like November at
• 11:11
  nighttime freaking super cold temperatures.
• 11:15
  It's like. No, we're not going to let that
• 11:16
  girl walk home. The war too crazy and all that
• 11:20
  stuff, whatever. So they knew like I said that
• 11:23
  that that's why I do those things because I remember being
• 11:27
  in that position of you know having to ask or whatever so
• 11:32
  many who like I said I I just hope that you know just wanted
• 11:35
  to just say that up top whatever before we run into the full
• 11:39
  topic and stuff, whatever. Just kind of like taking time to
• 11:42
  reflect on where we've been through what we've where we've
• 11:47
  come and stuff whatever. So because because at at the end
• 11:51
  of the day whatever problems and stuff and you know, financial
• 11:56
  constraints and stuff, whatever come up, whatever, it's, it's
• 12:00
  not the end of the world. You know, because honestly, you
• 12:04
  know if if, if if it truly came out to it or whatever, we would
• 12:06
  just have to, we would just like jank our kids out of sports for
• 12:11
  a short period of time or whatever.
• 12:12
  Because that's where a lot of money goes to.
• 12:14
  Because when it's kind of looking through you know,
• 12:17
  financial things or whatever, like okay, you know, paying this
• 12:23
  or that or whatever. But you know, but we do make
• 12:25
  those sacrifices within reason to to to allow them to have
• 12:31
  those opportunities and do those different things or whatever.
• 12:35
  So but like I said, they just kind of wanted to touch on that
• 12:39
  stuff to start the show off whatever.
• 12:42
  So but but yeah so gaming, let's talk about it.
• 12:50
  So hopefully, I'm going to hopefully put a link in the
• 12:57
  description of either the YouTube video if you're watching
• 12:59
  this, or on the podcast fees for the audio to where I'm using
• 13:07
  Game Informer always does a super awesome calendar of video
• 13:14
  game releases and stuff. And so I figured, you know what,
• 13:17
  that'd be the, you know, great thing for me to use.
• 13:21
  And like I said, kind of before diving in, there are so many
• 13:26
  games like, like like right now it's like the pocket to where
• 13:29
  it's like, OK, things are about to like crank up 100% or
• 13:33
  whatever. And you know, it kind of kind of
• 13:35
  made me think, you know, or kind of like fantasize in a way of
• 13:41
  like the people who like the bigger content creators and
• 13:44
  reviewers and stuff, whatever of like.
• 13:49
  I don't. I don't know how I would be able
• 13:52
  to handle with with how my life and stuff is whatever.
• 13:56
  If I was fortunate enough to be in the position to where, you
• 13:59
  know, I'm at work or I'm just doing whatever and I get an
• 14:03
  e-mail from a game company being like, hey, here's your code for
• 14:07
  you know, whatever game and stuff.
• 14:10
  Because because of course you know the the the big one a lot
• 14:16
  of the reviewers and stuff are playing now is Starfield which
• 14:18
  we'll talk about in a bit or whatever.
• 14:20
  But it's just like imagining just like be in that position
• 14:24
  and sometimes it's like man like the weight of that or whatever
• 14:29
  or I don't know. I don't know if I would be able
• 14:31
  to I don't know if that would you know if I would be able to
• 14:35
  do that whatever. But who knows I'm maybe I'm
• 14:38
  fantasizing about nothing about something that might ever even
• 14:41
  happen to me whatever. But man, who likes it so that
• 14:44
  that That's kind of why I figured that this was like a
• 14:46
  perfect little pocket window for me to to do this, whatever.
• 14:52
  Because it's a lot of good things on the horizon, obviously
• 14:55
  a lot of big stuff most people are aware of.
• 14:57
  But like I said, I also kind of want to do what I like to do,
• 15:00
  which is talk about some of the hidden gems as well as the big
• 15:04
  stuff, whatever that I'm excited for that I wanted to put on your
• 15:07
  radar. So like I said, we're using.
• 15:14
  The Game Informer release calendar and stuff and how I'm
• 15:20
  going to do this. And of course I should have
• 15:21
  mentioned this earlier in the show.
• 15:22
  Whatever. I will have time stamps and
• 15:24
  stuff, as I always do on my podcast.
• 15:27
  But how I'm going to handle this is that we will go through
• 15:31
  things month by month and just take it kind of leisurely within
• 15:36
  a sense, whatever, and kind of take a look at what's coming up.
• 15:43
  All right, so. Starting with August and of
• 15:46
  course we're we're towards the end of August now.
• 15:48
  But I'm kind of go back through the upper parts and just kind of
• 15:51
  shout out a few things. Because as I was kind of like
• 15:55
  looking through this list the other day as I was beginning to
• 15:58
  come up with the idea for this episode or whatever, I'm already
• 16:01
  kind of making note. And I'll call them out as I get
• 16:04
  some whatever of like there's some stuff that I know for sure.
• 16:07
  I'm not going to be able to play day one that will go on my list
• 16:13
  of like, hey, Black Friday holiday sales, you know, I
• 16:17
  didn't feel like it'll be at least a few games that will go
• 16:24
  on that list for me to. To purchase whatever, but but
• 16:30
  yeah so let me see. So one of the big ones that a
• 16:33
  lot of people are playing that is it's not really my thing
• 16:36
  whatever. But is Borders Gate 3 is already
• 16:41
  out on PC. And this game kind of has this
• 16:49
  kind of like funny thing which which it's just one of those
• 16:53
  things to where it's like sometimes one change or delay or
• 16:57
  decision or whatever can greatly change the trajectory of a
• 17:02
  game's success or failure. And so with Baldur Skate 3, the
• 17:08
  way they kind of staggered the the releases or whatever is.
• 17:13
  Potentially, potentially unintentionally.
• 17:16
  Genius, because originally it was all going to come out
• 17:21
  towards the end of the month or whatever, and the end of August
• 17:25
  being the beginning of September.
• 17:26
  But they ended up moving the PC release up to the beginning of
• 17:32
  the month and that gave it space from Starfield and gave it time
• 17:39
  to breathe. People seem to be loving it and
• 17:41
  enjoying it and stuff, whatever. And then the PS5 release will be
• 17:47
  coming out the same day as as Starfield.
• 17:54
  That's two appearances from Vash.
• 17:57
  But but I saw the PS5 release of the game is going to be coming
• 18:02
  out the same day as Starfield comes out on Xbox and PC or
• 18:06
  whatever. So that's like another like
• 18:08
  second wave of attention and then but the reason why that
• 18:13
  happened is that I guess Xbox has this kind of like parody
• 18:18
  clause with developers where the hey, whatever features and stuff
• 18:21
  that you put on the Series X version needs to be able to work
• 18:24
  on the Series S version And so that's why the Xbox version got
• 18:28
  delayed. Well they just announced earlier
• 18:30
  today whatever as I'm recording that they are making an
• 18:37
  exception for it or whatever and so it but it still won't be
• 18:39
  coming out until a little bit later whatever.
• 18:41
  But, but yeah, so Barters Gate 3 is getting getting it's.
• 18:49
  Moment in the sun, which I cause I'm very happy for for those
• 18:52
  fans. Let me see Atlas Fallen.
• 18:58
  That was when I was originally kind of potentially interested
• 19:02
  in, but I didn't hear too many good things about it, so that
• 19:06
  I'll just pass. Maybe someday if it ends up on
• 19:08
  Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, I might pick it up.
• 19:14
  What else I I am still so sad about this Red Dead Redemption
• 19:22
  they brought. They're doing a port of the PS3
• 19:26
  version to PS4. No extra Bezen whistles, no
• 19:31
  frame rate cleanup, none of that stuff.
• 19:33
  Whatever. It's just the game from freaking
• 19:37
  13 years ago, or however long ago it was in 2010 or whatever.
• 19:42
  And they're still charging 50 bucks for it's going to the PS4
• 19:45
  and the Switch. I'm very disappointed in that
• 19:47
  one so but but moving right along, here's one a lot of
• 19:53
  people were excited about. I never played Jet Set Radio
• 19:58
  back in the day I guess on the Sega Dreamcast and stuff.
• 20:01
  But this Bomb Rush Cyber Funk and I guess it's kind of like a
• 20:07
  spiritual successor to that game.
• 20:10
  I believe it's it's out on PCs switch right now.
• 20:14
  And then it's coming out on. Other consoles and stuff.
• 20:21
  At I think that like like in a few weeks or whatever, so but
• 20:24
  but yeah so if. If if you if you were a fan of
• 20:28
  Jet Set Radio and stuff back in the day then that might be one
• 20:32
  you might want to check out and stuff.
• 20:36
  Madden don't give a care about that Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
• 20:44
  Now, I have no interest in this. Y'all know me, I don't really do
• 20:49
  much with the with the spooky games and stuff.
• 20:53
  But my wife has actually been playing it and it makes sense
• 20:58
  because of course it's it's a online kind of like a asymmetric
• 21:03
  type of game. And I know she likes those
• 21:06
  because of course she she enjoyed the front of the 13th
• 21:10
  game back in the day and I know some of.
• 21:13
  Those people from that team is working on this Texas Chainsaw
• 21:18
  Massacre, which is out now, and it's actually on Xbox Game Pass,
• 21:24
  so. If you got Game Pass, hey,
• 21:27
  download it. Check it out.
• 21:29
  She's, it seems like she's been enjoying or whatever, but just
• 21:31
  still kind of like trying to get used to the controls and stuff.
• 21:36
  Fort Solace is 1. I'm a little mixed on now.
• 21:41
  This one just kind of just like. Feel like it just kind of got
• 21:43
  shadow dropped out of nowhere because I remember hearing about
• 21:45
  it a while back. Guess the website don't want to
• 21:48
  load, but Fort Solace is 1 now. This is kind of more like a I
• 21:56
  guess, kind of like classifieds, kind of like walking, walking,
• 21:59
  similar type of game. But one of the reasons why I
• 22:02
  caught my attention is because it's got Troy Baker and Roger
• 22:06
  Clark. So Troy Baker, if you don't
• 22:08
  remember, he voices Joe from The Last of Us.
• 22:12
  Rodger Clark voices Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption
• 22:16
  two and somebody else. I can't remember but but I but
• 22:21
  the reviews because it just came out a few days ago but the
• 22:23
  reviews been kind of and little meddling so maybe that probably
• 22:28
  would be one. I'll wait and catch on a sale a
• 22:30
  little bit later this year. Same thing with this Immortals
• 22:35
  of avium. This was one I guess kind of
• 22:39
  like. You can kind of like define it
• 22:41
  as like a first person magic type of game that also kind of
• 22:46
  been getting some mixture reviews and stuff whatever.
• 22:48
  So but you know the the idea stuff seems interesting so that
• 22:53
  might be one maybe you might pick up a little bit later when
• 22:58
  it's on sale or something. So we'll we'll see what else for
• 23:04
  this month so oh. Yeah, this is the big one that
• 23:07
  I'm highly anticipating, but will unfortunately have to go on
• 23:15
  the Black Friday holiday sale list and that is Armored Core 6,
• 23:22
  Fires of Rubicon. Now Armored Core 6, this is one
• 23:29
  that I've heard. A lot of.
• 23:32
  Great things about I've heard like the reviews have been out
• 23:34
  through the roof because it just came out today as at the time of
• 23:37
  me recording this and stuff. But I I've never played any of
• 23:44
  the Armored Core games and stuff back in the day.
• 23:46
  But you know, I do of course, like in recent years I've gotten
• 23:51
  used to or I've I've been enjoying stuff like.
• 23:54
  The gun done like arm blood or orphans and witch from Mercury
• 23:58
  and stuff whatever. And I've enjoyed some of the
• 24:01
  from surf games over the years like Bloodborne and stuff like
• 24:04
  that. And so I'm happy for the fans of
• 24:07
  the series though that like it's been like been like over 10
• 24:10
  years since the last Armored Court game because the last time
• 24:15
  they did armored Court games was before they even did the Demon
• 24:19
  Souls and Dark Souls stuff. So I know a lot of people are.
• 24:23
  Highly anticipating this, whatever.
• 24:24
  But like I said, the reviews seem good, seem real solid or
• 24:27
  whatever, but this is 1 just due to to money and time or whatever
• 24:33
  I'll be picking up a. Little bit later this year, but
• 24:39
  definitely one like so I'm I'm glad to hear that the reviews
• 24:42
  and stuff, whatever are are looking good for it.
• 24:46
  This next one is kind of like a indie game.
• 24:48
  They got announced, it was like forever ago.
• 24:52
  Goodbye Volcano High. Now this is when there was kind
• 24:56
  of like a on my radar likes it just because I I, I love my kind
• 25:00
  of like story heavy narrative games.
• 25:03
  And so the synopsis of this one is, you know, it's the final
• 25:06
  year of high school and the and graduation looms on the horizon
• 25:10
  where the students of Volcano High have enough time to figure
• 25:13
  themselves out before it's all over.
• 25:15
  Is it too like to tell their crush how they feel?
• 25:18
  Are they ever? Are they even ready for what
• 25:21
  comes next? GABA, GABA Volcano High is a
• 25:24
  cinematic narrative game about the end of an error at the
• 25:27
  beginning of a love story. So and of course the Volcano
• 25:31
  High thing, whatever, this seems like showing off the timeline or
• 25:38
  because a lot of their characters and stuff for them
• 25:40
  seem to be dinosaurs. And it seems to be like when the
• 25:43
  infamous meteor that struck the earth that wiped out the
• 25:46
  dinosaurs is coming so. Pretty sure, pretty sure there's
• 25:49
  going to be some heartfelt stuff with that game.
• 25:53
  But that that comes out next week, so that that might be one
• 25:58
  of my, I don't know, I probably, once again, probably won't be
• 26:01
  able to pick it up immediately, but it it's it's highly on my
• 26:05
  list of stuff to check out. Let's see Next up is Sea of
• 26:11
  Stars. Now Sea of Stars.
• 26:15
  This is a really big one. That is like Mega High, whoops,
• 26:21
  sorry, Mega High on my list because this is a game.
• 26:25
  So first of all it is like a it is a prequel to the game series,
• 26:31
  the messenger the kind of like side scrolling I think kind of
• 26:34
  like Rogue Light or rogue like type of game, whatever.
• 26:38
  But Sea of Stars is kind of more like a Chrono Trigger type of.
• 26:47
  Action RPG type of game, and it's been a super long time
• 26:51
  since I've really got into play and gotten into one of those
• 26:56
  types of games. But I definitely recommend if
• 27:00
  this game, even it sounds like it's up your alley.
• 27:03
  There is a free demo available on all systems, PC, Switch,
• 27:07
  Xbox, and PlayStation. Download the demo, check it out,
• 27:13
  and just kind of, you know, make that kind of judgment call for
• 27:16
  yourself. But I played, I played like a
• 27:19
  good like hour or so of that demo.
• 27:21
  I played like a little bit on Switch, but I really dove deep
• 27:23
  into the demo on my PS5 a few weeks back.
• 27:27
  Whatever. And I was laughing because even
• 27:30
  Vash was enjoying just like the art style and colorfulness and
• 27:33
  of course the music and stuff of it was was fantastic.
• 27:37
  So I'm looking forward to playing this because now This is
• 27:42
  why this is kind of moved up my radar of stuff to try out or
• 27:45
  whatever. Is because this game upon
• 27:49
  release will be both on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus
• 27:54
  Extra. So I have both of those, but of
• 27:58
  course, you know, when possible, I love to play stuff on
• 28:01
  PlayStation, whatever. So I'm going to play because
• 28:04
  originally I was going to play on Xbox Game Pass because it is
• 28:07
  what it is, but they announced it a few weeks ago.
• 28:09
  Whatever. Hey, it's also coming on
• 28:10
  PlayStation Plus Extra. So hey, I'm I'm going to be
• 28:13
  playing that there. So I look forward to diving to
• 28:16
  this game where I I I honestly had to force myself to to stop
• 28:21
  playing the demo because I'm like, all right Rob, you getting
• 28:24
  too deep into this whatever and you going to want to you know
• 28:28
  start over and all this stuff whatever when the game actually
• 28:30
  comes out. But but it it was a nice meeting
• 28:33
  demo like I said it kind of give me a good taste of how the
• 28:36
  combat and everything is going to work for the game.
• 28:39
  So yeah so sea of stars. That comes out on August 29th,
• 28:43
  so I'm up from this point forward.
• 28:45
  I'm going to try to start saying dates and stuff though like I
• 28:50
  said, I am kind of structured this to where you know, y'all
• 28:53
  will know it's like the month or whatever this stuff is coming
• 28:55
  out but may have some see if stars, check that out.
• 28:59
  Another one that's coming out that same day that I've.
• 29:02
  Also kind of had my eyes on for a while.
• 29:04
  Is this game called Under the Waves?
• 29:10
  Now this is a game that is kind of kind of like published, not
• 29:16
  created, but published by Quantic Dream.
• 29:19
  Now, I've loved a lot of stuff that Quantic Dream has done in
• 29:22
  the past, like Heavy Rain and Beyond, Two Stoves and Detroit
• 29:26
  Become Human and stuff, whatever.
• 29:28
  And so the fact that they're kind of like backing this game,
• 29:31
  whatever kind of has my attention.
• 29:34
  And so the synopsis for this is kind of like a Under the Waves
• 29:38
  is a narrative driven adventure game about the engulfing power
• 29:43
  of grief. Set in the depths of the North
• 29:47
  Sea in a techno futuristic 1970s professional diver, Stan is
• 29:54
  struggling to overcome a life changing loss and embrace a new
• 29:59
  future, the isolation of the deep sea.
• 30:03
  Is a lifting is a fitting manifestation of his state of
• 30:08
  mind. And what is sorry lost my place?
• 30:14
  Of his state of mind, and as Stan retressed further into his
• 30:20
  self-imposed solitude, he starts to experience strange events far
• 30:25
  beneath the waves. Stuck between life and death,
• 30:27
  Stan will have to make the most significant choice choice of his
• 30:32
  existence. If if if that's not a Robert
• 30:35
  type of synopsis, I don't know what is, but that definitely
• 30:39
  just reads like, man, I'm ready to be hit with all the emotions,
• 30:43
  all the fields. But yeah, so that'll be coming
• 30:46
  out on PS4, PS Five, the all the Xbox systems theme and epic game
• 30:51
  store. So like I said, this is
• 30:53
  definitely one that is. All my radar.
• 30:56
  And stuff so collected. This is a Super Robert type of
• 30:59
  game, so. And depending on the price, I
• 31:02
  don't know, like I said, if I'm gonna get a day one, but it's
• 31:05
  definitely one that is on my freaking radar.
• 31:09
  And that might be it for that, might be it for August, because
• 31:18
  Somerville is coming out, this coming to PlayStation that's
• 31:22
  already on Xbox and it was on Game Pass, whatever it was from
• 31:26
  one of the previous. Creative people behind Limbo and
• 31:30
  ANSI from back in the day because the the developers have
• 31:33
  split up to go and they both created 2 new teams or whatever.
• 31:36
  Which one of them has a game coming up later on?
• 31:39
  I'm going to talk about it, whatever.
• 31:41
  But but yeah, so we're going to transition to September in just
• 31:45
  a second, All right? So September now, literally just
• 31:54
  minutes ago. I was going to start with
• 31:58
  Starfield, but as I and once again shout out to Game Informer
• 32:03
  Man, because this list, there's so much stuff I'm saying over
• 32:05
  here to I'm like, I don't even know what that is or stuff is
• 32:08
  getting put on my list, whatever.
• 32:10
  And there's something coming out a day before Starfield called
• 32:14
  Chance of Sinar. Now this game once again looks
• 32:22
  like a Robert type of video game.
• 32:26
  And I just discovered that there is a demo for it right now to
• 32:30
  download. So thanks to the power of
• 32:32
  technology while I'm here recording, I was able to set
• 32:36
  this thing to download to my PS5 for my phone.
• 32:39
  So I'll look forward to diving to that demo this weekend.
• 32:41
  But but yeah, so it says I embark on a captivating journey
• 32:46
  to restore the connections between the people of a vast
• 32:50
  mythical tower. Unravel the mysteries around you
• 32:55
  through the suffering ancient languages and solving puzzles.
• 32:59
  Explore the enthralling world in a colorful poetic setting and
• 33:04
  driven by soul stirring soundtrack.
• 33:08
  So hey, did this, this. I don't know, like I said, this
• 33:14
  might not be one I get day one or whatever, but hey, thanks to
• 33:18
  this article and stuff, whatever, it is now on my radar
• 33:21
  so. Chance of Sinar.
• 33:24
  So that one. I'm I'm going to be playing that
• 33:27
  demo this weekend so yeah. So starfield.
• 33:34
  Bethesda's. First new IP and I think like 25
• 33:42
  years or something crazy. Whatever.
• 33:45
  Yeah, Starfield is the is the first new universe from Bethesda
• 33:49
  going studios in 25 years. And for those of you who do not
• 33:53
  know Starfield, Bethesda, this is the same studio who has made
• 34:00
  the Fallout series and The Elder Scrolls series.
• 34:03
  So Fallout 3-4, Skyrim, Oblivion, yadda yadda yadda.
• 34:09
  And it is a Scifi game that seems too.
• 34:14
  Big to comprehend because they literally talk about they have
• 34:18
  hundreds of planets to explore. And everything, just it just
• 34:23
  seems like such a daunting task to try to tackle this game.
• 34:31
  But and of course the the the pressure on this game because it
• 34:37
  is also being seen as possibly Xbox's biggest.
• 34:44
  The most important game in their history since Halo.
• 34:47
  A lot of people are kind of, you know, putting it on on that
• 34:50
  pedestal. And that might be true because
• 34:51
  it's like, okay, hey, y'all been buying up all these studios and
• 34:54
  stuff forever. Now we need to see like some
• 34:56
  results and stuff forever. But hey, you know, like.
• 35:01
  I'm I'm not necessarily like the biggest like RPG type of person
• 35:07
  anyways, especially stuff like. Sky Rim and follow that stuff.
• 35:11
  Whatever. I've dabbled in them and I like
• 35:14
  them a little bit, but I've never actually like 100%
• 35:17
  completed them. Whatever.
• 35:18
  But one of the beauties now of them being part of Xbox is this
• 35:25
  game will be on Game Pass day one on September 6th.
• 35:30
  Or for the people who don't feel like waiting and I feel like
• 35:34
  it's going to be a lot of people doing this, they of course will
• 35:37
  have. A a early access version that
• 35:43
  will come out September 1st where you can pay a little bit
• 35:46
  extra money and get to play a whole week early or whatever.
• 35:50
  So shout out to y'all that they will do that, but you know I'll
• 35:54
  be cool and I'll just wait for it to to come on, to come on
• 36:00
  Game pass, whatever. But yeah, but Starfield is one.
• 36:03
  I don't know how much time and stuff I'll dedicate to it, but.
• 36:07
  You know, I for sure would jump in just out of sheer curiosity
• 36:10
  because this is kind of one of those kind of like tempo games
• 36:16
  to where it's like this might shift the industry, kind of like
• 36:20
  Zelda and Birth of the Wild and Tis of the Kingdom.
• 36:22
  And you know, From Software with the elder ring last year, it's
• 36:29
  like it's just one of those marquee titles of City Project
• 36:32
  Red with The Witcher 3 back in the day and so.
• 36:37
  So yes Sir, it'll be interesting to see how things go.
• 36:41
  The embargo for the game will be lifting on August 31st, so a
• 36:46
  week from now reviews and impressions will be coming out
• 36:49
  so. Those y'all that want to hear
• 36:51
  more thoughts from people that's playing it or whatever, check
• 36:55
  your YouTube and your podcast fees, because you'll you'll be
• 36:58
  sending all that stuff a week from now.
• 37:00
  But say it's so starfield and let's see next.
• 37:07
  This is this is one well, I guess I'll shout out to.
• 37:10
  I guess the Pokémon Scarlett and Violet DLC will be coming out on
• 37:15
  September 13th. Don't have any, you know,
• 37:18
  interest in that right now because unfortunately.
• 37:21
  Scarlett and Violet is the first Pokémon games in the whole
• 37:24
  series that I've that. I didn't purchase whatever, so I
• 37:27
  have no clue too much about those games.
• 37:30
  It's not obviously I know of them and seen plenty of videos
• 37:34
  and gameplay stuff for them, but that's like my first time in.
• 37:36
  All my life, my 33 years of living that I have not played,
• 37:40
  at least tried, you know a new game, whatever.
• 37:43
  So but but that's for y'all. Shout out to my son.
• 37:47
  I forgot to mention and this is one he wants for his birthday
• 37:50
  and finding enough is coming out on his birthday.
• 37:53
  NBA 2K24 coming out on September 8th, my oldest son's birthday.
• 37:57
  So he asked for him of course so I'll get it for you.
• 38:04
  OK, so the next one did like so this is one I just want to shout
• 38:07
  out or whatever because I know nothing of this series, but I
• 38:10
  know some people might have some affinity for it from back in the
• 38:12
  past. Botten Kitos 1 and 2HD Remaster
• 38:18
  is coming out September 15th on the Nintendo Switch.
• 38:21
  So I think it's it's like a old school RP.
• 38:23
  G that I know. Like when this got announced, a
• 38:26
  lot of people were hyping excited for it.
• 38:29
  So just put that on. Y'all's right there for those of
• 38:31
  y'all that might have played it back in the day.
• 38:34
  And are interested or whatever is coming out.
• 38:35
  Then Next up we have a double header on September 19th, first
• 38:41
  of all lives of P and this one is coming out on PlayStation,
• 38:47
  Xbox and PC. This is the game that is
• 38:50
  basically kind of like Pinocchio, Meese, Bloodborne.
• 38:55
  So to speak, or cross up or whatever.
• 38:57
  So you are a puppet created by Geppetto, who's caught in a web
• 39:02
  of lies with unimaginable monsters and untrustworthy
• 39:05
  figures standing between you and the events that have the
• 39:09
  following the world of lies of peace.
• 39:12
  Now this is one. I don't know if the demo is
• 39:16
  still out or not, but they put out a demo earlier in the
• 39:18
  summer. On all platforms, like say the
• 39:21
  Xbox position in PC or whatever, I play the demo on PS5 or
• 39:25
  whatever and I really like the aesthetic of it or whatever, and
• 39:31
  I'll go and mention two it will be coming out on Xbox game.
• 39:34
  Pass day one as well, so I might try a little bit more there or
• 39:37
  whatever. Which I need to get my wife a
• 39:41
  new controller because Vashton jacked up her controller that I
• 39:44
  bought for her for freaking Valentine's Day earlier this
• 39:46
  year. Funny enough.
• 39:47
  So but. And I love the looking aesthetic
• 39:53
  of it or whatever, but the the gameplay just wasn't as tight as
• 40:00
  I hoped it would be. Whatever.
• 40:02
  But honestly, like like from jump you can immediately, even
• 40:07
  even if nobody told you that. Hey, this kind of has like a
• 40:11
  Bloodborne vibe just from the way the initial enemies.
• 40:15
  We're shambling towards you. Kind of like feedback in the in
• 40:35
  the, in the game plan and stuff, whatever for it.
• 40:17
  Remind you about the early Bloodborne dudes with the
• 40:19
  pitchforks and stuff and like, the way you attack the enemies
• 40:23
  or whatever. Same rhythm and stuff, whatever
• 40:26
  as Bloodborne, but not as tight and fluid or whatever did that.
• 40:31
  There wasn't like, like. So I hope that they get that
• 40:40
  smoothed out or whatever, because like I said, just just
• 40:42
  the thought of a Pinocchio type. Bloodborne, Hybrid or whatever
• 40:47
  sounds like a perfect game because like Bloodborne is like
• 40:51
  the I think the only from Software game that I've beaten
• 40:54
  or whatever. And I love that game whatever
• 40:56
  when it came out. And so hopefully, like I said,
• 40:58
  hopefully things are ironed out better by the time it comes out
• 41:02
  in a month or so. But like I said, I might not get
• 41:07
  it to a day one or whatever. But with it being on Game Pass,
• 41:11
  then, hey, that that would at least maybe increase my.
• 41:14
  Chances of playing it sooner than later.
• 41:17
  So because that's, you know, less coins I got to pull out of
• 41:21
  my pocket for that one. So the other one that's coming
• 41:25
  out the same day is Mortal Kombat 1 now after the events of
• 41:31
  Mortal Kombat 11 and Aftermath, which honestly I've I haven't
• 41:39
  really played any of the actual like full story.
• 41:42
  Of this recent trilogy that started with Mortal Kombat 9
• 41:45
  through 10 and 11 and then the Aftermath DLC, whatever.
• 41:48
  But I do know that things happen in the way to where basically
• 41:53
  kind of like the timeline kind of like got reset in a way to
• 41:57
  where this is kind of like a a reshaping reimagining of the
• 42:01
  timeline a rebirth of the series.
• 42:04
  And so a lot of things that we kind of have known from Mortal
• 42:07
  Kombat over the years are kind of like getting turned and
• 42:10
  twisted on their heads, like. Scorpion is Subzero.
• 42:13
  They're now brothers and I think same thing with the Malena and
• 42:20
  katana and stuff. So So it's it's kind of like
• 42:24
  cool to see all these characters and stuff kind of like shown in
• 42:27
  a new light and being reimagined and stuff.
• 42:29
  So and of course all the trailers and stuff look freaking
• 42:32
  dope as who all knows what, but now I'm not too much of A
• 42:37
  fighting game person myself, but I I always just emerge just like
• 42:43
  how much they've delve into the story and stuff with Mortal
• 42:48
  Kombat or whatever. So, but so so Mortal Kombat 1
• 42:53
  coming out September 19th on PS5 Xbox series and PC.
• 42:59
  So shout out to the fighting game community, shout out to all
• 43:03
  my old homies from back in college.
• 43:06
  It it was a whole bunch of y'all Derek.
• 43:09
  And Lance and. All y'all do is that that was
• 43:13
  super heavy in the fighting gangs and stuff, whatever and
• 43:16
  even now to this day or whatever.
• 43:18
  So shout out to y'all. I know a lot of people will be
• 43:20
  on that. Real happy when it comes out.
• 43:24
  Just a couple I want to shout out.
• 43:25

• 43:30
  coming out September, September 21st, PS5, the Xbox series, and
• 43:34
  P. C and this is another one that I
• 43:36
  believe is going to be on Xbox Game Pass, Cyberpunk 2077,
• 43:41
  Phantom Liberty PS5 Xbox series and PC coming out September
• 43:45
  26th. Shout out to the Homie Polo from
• 43:48
  Mic check Waifu Waifu Podcast. I know he is super hype for this
• 43:53
  one or whatever because I know he loves Cyberpunk 2077.
• 43:57
  I never played it or whatever. But I know they had a rocky
• 44:02
  start years ago, but they've ironed out all that stuff.
• 44:05
  And then with the Cyberpunk Edge Runners anime that came out a
• 44:08
  year ago, either that I know that kind of like was like a
• 44:12
  big. Resurgence of the game and
• 44:15
  stuff, whatever. So shout out to those fans and
• 44:18
  the team for sticking with that game, whatever.
• 44:20
  And like I said, for the anime, kind of like breathe the new
• 44:22
  life into it or whatever So and shout out to Edris Elba, that's
• 44:26
  going to be in the game too, along with the Keanu Reeves.
• 44:30
  But yeah, I think that's kind of it.
• 44:36
  I have to shut this out or whatever.
• 44:38
  Well, a couple of things are there's a free updates of Sonic
• 44:42
  frontiers called The Final Horizon.
• 44:45
  It's going to be like new story expansions and stuff that's
• 44:47
  going to be for free on September 28th.
• 44:50
  So I never played Sonic Frontiers, but I heard people
• 44:53
  that actually enjoyed it or whatever.
• 44:54
  So shout out to y'all Dragon Quest Adventures of Die Infinity
• 45:02
  Trash. Now those y'all just listened to
• 45:06
  the podcast for a while. Y'all know that some years back
• 45:10
  I was real heavy on the Adventures of Die anime that
• 45:16
  came out I which I still need to go back and finish.
• 45:20
  Because that sucker was like 100 episodes long and I I was
• 45:24
  watching the week to week for the first like 30 or so
• 45:26
  episodes. And then I just kind of fell off
• 45:29
  whatever, and it just kept going and going and going.
• 45:32
  But I know it ended with 100 episodes, so I want to go back
• 45:36
  to that or whatever. And like I said when they and
• 45:38
  not that there was going to be a game, so shout out to this game
• 45:42
  whatever like since September 28th, PS4, all the PlayStation,
• 45:46
  all the Xbox, PC and Switch. So shout out to that.
• 45:50
  So this is the last big game of the month, or not big so to
• 45:56
  speak, whatever, but one that I that is heavy on my radar or
• 45:59
  whatever. Because like I mentioned how the
• 46:02
  developers from Inside and Limbo split.
• 46:06
  And one was going to do one thing, which was the what did I
• 46:10
  say earlier? That game, Somerville, which was
• 46:13
  kind of the other one, is making this game called Cocoon.
• 46:19
  Now I've talked about this game before, but Cocoon so, so, so
• 46:27
  okay. It was the lead gameplay
• 46:28
  designer from Limbo and Inside. So this game is a kind of like
• 46:34
  Adventure Poser type of game or whatever.
• 46:37
  And it is just so trivia and highly encouraged.
• 46:40
  Y'all those of y'all that not subscribe to whatever watched
• 46:44
  this episode of the podcast on YouTube because I'm showing.
• 46:47
  Pictures and video of all this stuff.
• 46:50
  Whatever. But, but just like the look and
• 46:53
  the puzzles and stuff, whatever they say, Worlds within Worlds.
• 46:58
  Cocoon is a unique take on a puzzle Adventures on the Puzzle
• 47:01
  Adventures genre, in which each world exists within an orb that
• 47:07
  you carry on your back. So you kind of like carry it
• 47:09
  like like you're like like a dung beat or type of thing,
• 47:11
  whatever. Wrap your head around the core
• 47:14
  mechanic of leaping between worlds and combine and
• 47:17
  manipulate and rearrange them to solve intricate puzzles.
• 47:20
  So. Hey this is once again a Robert
• 47:24
  type of video game that I am very excited to to play and so
• 47:29
  like I said this will be coming out September 29th on PC, Xbox,
• 47:33
  Switch and PlayStation. So excited to play this.
• 47:38
  I don't think this is going to be on any subscription service
• 47:42
  whatever, but hey they they can definitely have my money because
• 47:45
  like I said I enjoy inside of limbo.
• 47:47
  So I definitely want want to support more of those games and
• 47:53
  and I guess last time I just want to shout out I don't give
• 47:56
  or care about soccer or football and stuff whatever or FIFA by
• 48:00
  just for people's radars whatever once again and
• 48:03
  informational purposes or whatever.
• 48:05
  This is the first year the EA doesn't have the FIFA name for
• 48:11
  the game series or whatever. So going forward, the game
• 48:14
  series that used to be known as FIFA would not be called EA
• 48:17
  Sports FC. So which is Football Club?
• 48:21
  So EA Sports Football Club 24 and all the platforms, whatever
• 48:25
  blacks. I just wanted just to inform
• 48:26
  y'all in case anybody that listens to the podcast is a fan
• 48:30
  of the FIFA series, just so that so that you're aware of that for
• 48:35
  when you go in the store to buy it or whatever, you won't be
• 48:38
  looking for the FIFA box because it won't be there.
• 48:42
  So, yeah, so we're through September, which was a pretty,
• 48:46
  pretty solid month, but. This upcoming month, October is
• 48:50
  even crazier, so I'll be right back to talk about October.
• 48:58
  All right. Back with October, which is
• 49:02
  probably the most packed month for this fall.
• 49:08
  So much so that I I was even finding stuff like I've got more
• 49:11
  tabs open than probably the last two months combined.
• 49:18
  Oh yeah. So let's let's let's dive into
• 49:21
  what we got for October and see what you know what more we're
• 49:25
  going to pull out your wallet. So First off and this this is
• 49:28
  what I don't, I don't know I probably won't even play.
• 49:31
  But just one just there was just interesting to see.
• 49:33
  There is a game, a Hairboy game called Web of Weird WYRD Punches
• 49:43
  coming out October 4th and I don't know it it it has like a
• 49:48
  very interesting art style, but don't know too much more about
• 49:52
  it aside from that. It'll be coming out on play on
• 49:55
  PS45, Xbox switching PC. So don't know.
• 50:00
  We'll see how that one goes once you know reviews and stuff hit.
• 50:04
  Now this month was so big that we had two games move away from
• 50:12
  each other and opposite directions to of course they're
• 50:15
  both getting away from Spiderman, but Assassin's Creed
• 50:19
  And then I'll talk about Alan Wake later, But but Assassin's
• 50:22
  Creed moved up a couple of weeks while Alan wait to move back a
• 50:26
  week or whatever. But also Assassin's Creed Mirage
• 50:30
  coming out October 5th to PS5 and PS5, Xbox and PC and stuff.
• 50:41
  Yeah, so this is kind of a return to form so to speak for
• 50:46
  Assassin's Creed. This is kind of 1 where after
• 50:50
  Valhalla because pretty much like from Origins and then
• 50:53
  Odyssey and then Valhalla, the games just got so ridiculously
• 50:57
  huge. That you know, I I haven't
• 51:00
  finished any of them since the origins and stuff.
• 51:02
  Whatever. And I bought Valhalla, the most
• 51:06
  expensive edition, all this stuff, whatever.
• 51:09
  And granted, I put, I put in a good I put like 30 + 40 hours, I
• 51:13
  think into it or whatever, Didn't even come close to ending
• 51:16
  or whatever. And so myself and a lot of
• 51:19
  people have been longing for them to kind of like return to a
• 51:23
  smaller, tighter. Game like back in the day with
• 51:27
  the XCO trilogy and stuff, whatever.
• 51:29
  And that's what they're promising with Mirage to where
• 51:32
  they say it'd be more like a 20-30 hour game, which is music
• 51:37
  to my ears, but by so Assassin's Creed Mirage you play as Basm
• 51:44
  Basin Basm Print. Forgive me if I'm mispronouncing
• 51:47
  that or whatever, but this one takes place.
• 51:53
  Let's see, make sure I get the location right.
• 51:58
  Baghdad takes place in Baghdad so I'm I'm very interested and
• 52:04
  they announced them the other day too that this game will be
• 52:08
  fully dubbed and Arabic as well, which is pretty awesome that
• 52:13
  they are putting that extra care and attention into the game and
• 52:17
  the culture and stuff behind it. So, but this is one that
• 52:22
  probably, unfortunately, will be.
• 52:26
  On the Black Friday pile for me later this year cause I see just
• 52:29
  because of. Time and stuff.
• 52:31
  Whatever. And plus, the Ubisoft games are
• 52:35
  notorious for going on sale super quick and like the last
• 52:40
  like handful of years. Like the last couple of
• 52:42
  Assassin's Creed games, the Watchdogs games and everything
• 52:46
  else in between. Like, drop it down immediately.
• 52:51
  Freaking 40 bucks, 30 bucks, whatever.
• 52:53
  So I think I'm going to try. To wait and see with this one,
• 52:58
  but I am just very excited to. Potentially hopefully fall in
• 53:03
  love with Assassin's Creed again like so this this is like a very
• 53:07
  different very unique setting and cast the characters so I I
• 53:11
  look forward to to diving in so all right so Next up from
• 53:18
  Assassin's Creed and like I said that was October 5th just want
• 53:22
  to show October 6th detective picture returns I never played
• 53:27
  it the last detective picture game which actually it it never
• 53:30
  came out. Over here and I think about it
• 53:32
  or whatever, but I did enjoy the live action Detective Pikachu
• 53:36
  movie. All the mirrors back, whatever.
• 53:38
  So. But box, did you just put that
• 53:40
  on Y'all's radar? The next one I'm interested in
• 53:43
  is Sonic Superstars. And this is coming out October
• 53:47
  17th. I think this is coming out on
• 53:51
  all systems. Yeah, PS5 for.
• 53:56
  Xbox, Switch, PC, whatever. And this is the one that's going
• 53:59
  to have four player coop or up to four player coop whatever and
• 54:05
  stuff. So but this is another one.
• 54:08
  I'll get it later at a discount or whatever just because I I
• 54:13
  know this would be something that myself and Vash would love
• 54:17
  to play through this game whatever.
• 54:19
  So but just just definitely wanted to to shout it out
• 54:21
  because the art style and stuff looks very, very cute, very
• 54:25
  adorable and looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
• 54:27
  So Sonic Superstars October 17th.
• 54:33
  Now this game called The Gap is one that I literally just
• 54:38
  stumbled upon while I was reading through this list.
• 54:41
  And once again, this seems like a Super Robert type of game.
• 54:46
  So so the synopsis of it, The Gap is a scifi first person
• 54:54
  narrative exploration thriller. You play as Joshua Hayes, a
• 55:00
  neurologist who's lost it all. Your mysterious ability to
• 55:04
  explore parallel realities through deja vu seems to be the
• 55:10
  only way to recover your memories and salvage your life.
• 55:14
  The year is 2045. You wake up lying on the floor
• 55:20
  of a messy apartment. Who are you?
• 55:23
  Is there anybody around? All that is left of recent human
• 55:27
  contact or confusing messages feeling like you could block out
• 55:31
  anytime soon? You decide to explore certain
• 55:34
  documents you come across offer a glimpse into your obstensible
• 55:40
  past as Joshua and neurologist, who's made some questionable
• 55:44
  life choices. Inevitably, your mission becomes
• 55:48
  a peace becomes the peace together, the missing fragments
• 55:53
  of your past, and solve the mystery of your family's
• 55:56
  affliction. Or so you may think.
• 56:02
  This seems like a boatload of stress that I am ready to dive
• 56:07
  into. Whatever, but like I said, I was
• 56:09
  just going through and I see something called a gap and I'm
• 56:11
  like, what is that bass? October 19th, PS5 Xbox series
• 56:16
  and PC from label this studio. So hey you know I'm throwing it
• 56:23
  on the list of stuff I want to get to eventually.
• 56:26
  So so yeah. So now the big one for me.
• 56:32
  October 20th, which October 20th is a double header day because
• 56:36
  we have both Spiderman two which I don't have to say too much
• 56:40
  about it or whatever. We all know what it.
• 56:43
  Is like. What?
• 56:46
  What more is there to say or whatever?
• 56:48
  But this is definitely one of my most anticipated games.
• 56:52
  I have the Spiderman 2 Special edition controller on preorder
• 56:58
  that comes out on September 1st that I'm excited to go pick up
• 57:02
  to finally have a new controller for myself.
• 57:05
  But yeah, so October 20th? Excited for that.
• 57:09
  I pretty much try to be as media black and as possible from this
• 57:12
  point forward. You don't need to see or hear
• 57:15
  too much more whatever. But Spiderman Two and along with
• 57:19
  that same day Super Mario Brothers Wonder is also coming
• 57:23
  out for the Switch. So yeah, Spiderman on PS5, Mario
• 57:28
  on Switch head to head. But this one just looks so
• 57:33
  freaking dumping fun from when they showed off their trailer a
• 57:37
  couple months back. Whatever.
• 57:38
  So I'm very excited to play this, whatever now recent news
• 57:42
  they came out about this whatever, or about Mario in
• 57:46
  general, I just want to tell some news while I'm thinking
• 57:48
  about it. Whatever is that the voice actor
• 57:50
  for Mario, Charles Martine, is officially retired.
• 57:54
  So now I don't know if they haven't announced or made clear
• 57:57
  or not, if he still will be the one that voiced this game,
• 58:02
  whatever or what or what the future of the voice of Mario
• 58:05
  will be. But either way, October 28th,
• 58:09
  I'm excited to play Super Mario Brothers Wonder.
• 58:12
  Now those are like my big ones for the month.
• 58:15
  A couple I'm a shout out along the way.
• 58:18
  October 25th, there's a Alone in the Dark game.
• 58:21
  I don't know if this is like a remake, I think, but I don't
• 58:26
  know. But that's coming out on PS5.
• 58:28
  Xbox and PC, so who knows? Ghost Runner too.
• 58:35
  I know a lot of people love that first game a couple years back,
• 58:38
  so that's what's coming out also on PS5, Xbox and PC October 26th
• 58:44
  and I. Think there's a chance this
• 58:46
  might be on PCI? Don't know.
• 58:47
  Don't don't 100% quote me on that.
• 58:49
  But that. But that's coming out this one
• 58:53
  kind of any game. I just wanted to kind of shout
• 58:55
  out, shout out or whatever it's coming out on.
• 58:59
  Switch and PC at the end of September, but then at the end
• 59:03
  of October for PS:. 5 for PlayStation and Xbox it's called
• 59:08
  Minaco's Night Market. Don't know too much about it but
• 59:12
  it's kind of like a smaller like adventure type of game that
• 59:16
  looks pretty cute that I'm you know might might check out
• 59:18
  eventually at some point but like so wanted to put on
• 59:21
  somebody's ready somebody's radar now big one last big one
• 59:26
  of the month Alan Wake too. And like, like this art just
• 59:34
  screams terror. Now, I've still never played the
• 59:38
  original Island Weight because it was exclusive Xbox 360 back
• 59:42
  in the day, but they recently did a remaster out of it and
• 59:46
  it's on PlayStation Plus, so I grabbed it.
• 59:49
  So I'll plan on playing it sometime soon.
• 59:52
  But Island Weight too, is one that I kind of have my eyes on,
• 59:55
  though. Granted, I'm not too big into
• 59:57
  spooky stuff, whatever, but it might be the right amount of
• 1:00:00
  kind of like a thriller. That I might be able to handle
• 1:00:04
  so but I don't know if I'll get around to it at large because I
• 1:00:06
  said what they coming out a week after Spiderman and Mario.
• 1:00:10
  My, my wallet might be like yo, Rob, you got to you got to come
• 1:00:14
  back to that at a later date and time, but but it's definitely
• 1:00:18
  one that I am interested in checking out now.
• 1:00:23
  Last Game of the month that is on Roberts radar is this game
• 1:00:27
  called Just Set. And this is going to be on
• 1:00:31
  Halloween, October 31st, PS5 Xbox series and PC.
• 1:00:38
  And the reason why this game is on my radar is become is because
• 1:00:42
  it is done by Don't nod who did the life of Strange Games.
• 1:00:49
  And so this is a action. Puzzle climbing game tour.
• 1:00:54
  It looks like you're like a mountain climber or something or
• 1:00:56
  whatever. But I don't know the trailer
• 1:01:00
  stuff ever. Whatever looks.
• 1:01:02
  Once again this is one of those, as my wife calls it, a Robert
• 1:01:06
  type of game, so I'm excited to try it out.
• 1:01:11
  It says experience climbing night like never before.
• 1:01:16
  Relaxing bask in nature journey with a companion made of water
• 1:01:22
  so but it it's. Kind of like a very beautiful
• 1:01:24
  looking game. Like so.
• 1:01:25
  Just one of them. I'm curious to take a look at
• 1:01:29
  when it comes out. So like I said, just sent.
• 1:01:33
  That's the last big one for October, I believe.
• 1:01:37
  Let me look through. Yep.
• 1:01:40
  So take another little break and I'll be right back to talk about
• 1:01:46
  the games of November. So be right back.
• 1:01:51
  All right. So November.
• 1:01:53
  Now this is a little bit lighter month as we can, you know, as we
• 1:01:57
  start whining down the year with games.
• 1:02:00
  But still a few things I just, you know, want to put on yours
• 1:02:03
  radar. So this first one I see coming
• 1:02:06
  out on November 2nd called Thirsty Suitors and I love.
• 1:02:12
  The art style of these these two ladies here on the cover, but it
• 1:02:17
  says of the story from. Outer Loop Games comes thirsty
• 1:02:21
  suitors, a game about culture, relationships, family pressures,
• 1:02:25
  and expressing oneself. Can Jolla hounder her demanding
• 1:02:30
  parents reconcile with her exes and mend broken friendships in
• 1:02:35
  time for her sister's wedding? Will she be ready for the
• 1:02:38
  impending visit of Nanny, the family's terrifying, terrifying
• 1:02:43
  and judgmental matriarch? Through the store game story,
• 1:02:47
  Jolla will confront her exes and cinematic term based battle
• 1:02:53
  sequences. This sounds pretty dope and look
• 1:02:57
  at like the gameplay and stuff. Whatever looks like really cool.
• 1:03:00
  She's up like skateboarding through the city and stuff and
• 1:03:04
  doing like little mini games and stuff, so this.
• 1:03:08
  This looks this looks pretty, pretty cool, so it's a thirsty
• 1:03:12
  suitors. And that'll be out on
• 1:03:16
  PlayStation Four or five. Xbox switching PC like I said
• 1:03:20
  November 2nd. Now this is a big one that is
• 1:03:25
  super high on my list. Once again a Robert type of
• 1:03:29
  game, The Invincible from Star Ward Industries coming to
• 1:03:35
  November 6th to PS5, Xbox and PC.
• 1:03:40
  Now, I think I might have talked about this a while back when I
• 1:03:42
  first discovered it or whatever, but somebody had described it as
• 1:03:47
  kind of like a fire watch in space.
• 1:03:50
  And Fire Watch is a game that I really enjoyed back in the day,
• 1:03:55
  which actually just got added to Xbox Game Pass recently.
• 1:03:58
  But but so The Invincible discovered the limits of human
• 1:04:05
  understanding immersed surfing, a story based on a classic scifi
• 1:04:10
  novel by Stanslaw Lim. About mankind Stubborn push
• 1:04:18
  towards places that are not meant for us.
• 1:04:20
  Join a brave scientist on her perilous journey.
• 1:04:26
  Your name is Yasna. You wake up on a planet registry
• 1:04:33
  with no recollection of how you got there.
• 1:04:35
  It's up to you to unravel the secrets of this unexplored
• 1:04:38
  world. Beautiful planet, untouched by
• 1:04:42
  humans. Commercial stuff in the game
• 1:04:44
  with unique aesthetics, so retro futuristic vibe, all that stuff.
• 1:04:50
  But this is, yeah, I am excited for for this one.

  So this is definitely, hopefully a potential day one for me to
• 1:05:02
  play the Invincible. So yeah.
• 1:05:05
  So looking forward to that. This next one I'm excited about
• 1:05:10
  and I didn't realize it was coming out that it had got a
• 1:05:12
  date. So I just mentioned a game
• 1:05:14
  called Jassant from Donut Studios.
• 1:05:18
  Well this is their other game called Banishers Ghost of Eden
• 1:05:24
  coming to PS5, Xbox series and PC November 7th.
• 1:05:29
  Now this is more like a role-playing game.
• 1:05:33
  So Banishers Ghost of New Eden, a new title from.
• 1:05:42
  From Donut who did Life is Strange and Vampire Immersing?
• 1:05:46

• 1:05:50
  journey between life and death, love and sacrifices.

  On the setting is in New New Eden 1695.

  unravel chilling mysteries. Explore diverse landscapes and
• 1:06:42
  interact with unforgettable characters who fate lies in your
• 1:06:47

• 1:06:50
  Strange, one of my all time favorite series.
• 1:06:54
  Especially when it comes to story and making choices and
• 1:06:56
  stuff and thinking about them, taking those, that background
• 1:07:04
  and stuff, whatever of what they did in Life is Strange and apply
• 1:07:07
  it and get into like a bigger scope.

  Higher prediction quality action RPG game Hey, you got me Sold.

  So. I am very excited to play this,
• 1:07:19
  and so the two characters is Red A, a once remorseful mercenary
• 1:07:27
  haunted by the gusts of his past victims.
• 1:07:30
  He found redemption through Auntie saving grace and their
• 1:07:36
  and their love blossoms amiss. However, Aunt Tia tragically
• 1:07:42
  passes away and Red faces a hardwrenching dilemma between
• 1:07:46
  his love and his vows as a banisher and so a Tina, highly
• 1:07:53
  skilled banisher. After an ill advised attack, she
• 1:07:56
  is killed, leaving her lover and solitude and profound despair
• 1:08:00
  unable to move to the next plane of existence, whatever that is,

  a Tina or Aunt Tia. Returns as the thing she
• 1:08:09
  despises most, a ghost. Torn between her bond with her
• 1:08:13
  beloved and the nightmare of her new condition, she makes Red
• 1:08:17
  swear to help her find deliverance from this horror.
• 1:08:22
  I've said a lot, but I am beyond excited to play this game.
• 1:08:29
  So Banishers ghost of New Eating November 7th.
• 1:08:33
  Looking forward to playing that. Just a few shout outs.
• 1:08:39
  Like a dragon got in the man who erased his name.
• 1:08:43
  This is basically the new Yakuza game coming out November 9th on
• 1:08:48
  PS5 for Xbox series and PC from Sega.
• 1:08:55
  You already know what it is. If you're into the like into the
• 1:08:59
  Yakuza slash like a Dragon series, that's the series I've
• 1:09:02
  still never been able to or I still haven't gotten out of
• 1:09:04
  trying yet. Maybe someday.
• 1:09:06
  But. That's coming out then Call of
• 1:09:10

• 1:09:29
  Xbox, PC and Switch. Naruto X, Barto.
• 1:09:34
  Ultimate Ninja Storm connections now.
• 1:09:37
  I probably won't play this because I played all the old
• 1:09:39
  Ninja Storm games, but I didn't even know what this was.
• 1:09:41
  I saw the name, had no clue what it was, but basically this is a
• 1:09:44
  collection. Bring it together.
• 1:09:46
  Key key story moments from the Ultimate Ninja Storm games.
• 1:09:52
  Now these games were so dope back in the day.
• 1:09:56
  I love them. But basically, this is the kind
• 1:09:59
  of like celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series.
• 1:10:05
  And so, yeah, so it might be a cool way to kind of like relive
• 1:10:08
  some of those games, but you know, just kind of just more all
• 1:10:14
  all the games just kind of like condensed into one, so to speak.
• 1:10:16
  So last few here for November, Persona 5, Tactica coming to PS5
• 1:10:22
  for Xbox, switching PC November 17th.
• 1:10:26
  This is the kind of like tactical strategy strategy game
• 1:10:29
  based on Persona 5. And Super Mario RPG coming out
• 1:10:34
  to the Switch. This one is a remake remake of
• 1:10:37
  the classic I think Super Nintendo game.
• 1:10:41
  So yeah so that's it for November.
• 1:10:44
  Like I said kind of light and I guess I'll shout out to for
• 1:10:48
  Biomutant is coming out on Switch November 30th, which I
• 1:10:52
  have that on. I download that as part of
• 1:10:54
  Passage plus I need to still check out or whatever.
• 1:10:57
  And then a Hogwarts legacy coming out November 14th.
• 1:11:00
  So. That game took over took the
• 1:11:04
  gaming world by storm earlier this year, so we'll see how it
• 1:11:07
  does when it comes out on the Switch.
• 1:11:08
  So, all right. So last bits come back in a
• 1:11:12
  second, talk about December, So be right back, All right.
• 1:11:18
  So December, super mega, ultra. Light and how many things come
• 1:11:24
  out in December but a couple of things to put on your radar.
• 1:11:27
  Small one have no. Picture anything with this.
• 1:11:30
  With this series, we still want to shout it out.
• 1:11:32
  Dragon Quest Monsters, the drag, The Dark Prince coming out on
• 1:11:37
  the Nintendo Switch December 1st, apparently.
• 1:11:40
  I guess they're like a popular series on like the Game Boy and
• 1:11:43
  stuff like way back in the day. So if you're interested, if you,
• 1:11:47
  if you play that series back in the day, whatever, there's a new
• 1:11:49
  one coming. And the big one for me, which I
• 1:11:53
  never would have thought in a million years before I saw a
• 1:11:55
  gameplay of this, that I would be excited for this, but I am.
• 1:11:59
  Avatar Frontiers of Pandora coming out December 7th, PS5,
• 1:12:05
  Xbox series and PC from Ubisoft. Of course this is the kind of
• 1:12:09
  like open world action RPG, kind of like Far Cry esque type of
• 1:12:15
  game. But and I and I talked about
• 1:12:18
  this like a couple months back when they first kind of like
• 1:12:20
  showed it off whatever. But I am legit excited and
• 1:12:25
  interested to freaking play this game.
• 1:12:26
  Y'all like but once again I don't know if I'll play it at
• 1:12:30
  lunch or I'll have to wait. Military state corporation known
• 1:12:59
  as RDA. I don't know.
• 1:12:33
  But but you know, like I said, this just looks like it'd be
• 1:12:37
  right up my alley, man. And this game looks freaking
• 1:12:40
  stunning. Freaking gorgeous.
• 1:12:43
  Like every time they show game playing stuff, whatever it is
• 1:12:46
  like yo, like like they got the full budget for this game.
• 1:12:51
  Whatever. So but but I guess the the quick
• 1:12:54
  synopsis of this is abducted by the.
• 1:13:00
  You and Navi were trained and moded to serve their purpose. 15
• 1:13:05
  years later, you are free but but find yourself a stranger in
• 1:13:09
  your birthplace. Reconnect with your lost
• 1:13:11
  heritage, discover what it means to be Navi and join other
• 1:13:16
  clients to protect to protect Pandora from the RDA.
• 1:13:20
  So yeah, so this one is going to be super dope.
• 1:13:25
  Super excited to try it out. But, but yeah, so that that's
• 1:13:29
  kind of it for me with the the games I'm looking forward to
• 1:13:35
  playing and I and I and I want to give just just a quick shout
• 1:13:38
  out to the few people who did reply to my call for you know,
• 1:13:46
  hearing what what other people out there are interested in.
• 1:13:52
  So let me find those real quick. OK so so the homie Winter Venom
• 1:13:59
  91. Over on Twitter from from the
• 1:14:02
  Behind the Manga podcast he said Starfield Spiderman two star
• 1:14:08
  Ocean the second story are and like a dragon guide in that's
• 1:14:12
  what he's excited about. Over on Instagram, Claude said
• 1:14:19
  Spiderman two and Football Club 24.
• 1:14:23
  Jimmy Quill said to take the picture returns and Spiderman
• 1:14:27
  two. And then my whole homie Chris
• 1:14:31
  from back home said Spiderman two.
• 1:14:35
  So of course, lots of hype and expectation for Spiderman 2, but
• 1:14:41
  yeah, so. Like I said, like that that that
• 1:14:43
  was a lot of freaking games to kind of go through.
• 1:14:48
  But like I said, like, like the the big ones that are like, OK,
• 1:14:52
  yeah, these are like definitive. Who must plays, or at least like
• 1:14:57
  taken out for a test drive for me?
• 1:14:59
  Like I said, Sea of Stars, Starfield, Spiderman, Mario just
• 1:15:13
  sent, and Avatar. And all that stuff I I don't
• 1:15:21
  need to rehash it again but but yeah like like they they it's
• 1:15:25
  this we eaten good this year And and and I definitely look
• 1:15:30
  forward to like at the end of the year kind of like reflecting
• 1:15:33
  because a lot of a lot of people and rightfully so have already
• 1:15:35
  kind of like said that that this year is kind of like setting up
• 1:15:40
  to be one of those landmark historic years that we look back
• 1:15:44
  on as like this was like one of the like you know industry
• 1:15:50
  shifting or important years like 98 and 2007 and stuff like that.
• 1:15:59
  So but one of those potential landmark years, but you know
• 1:16:05
  well. We'll let the year finish off
• 1:16:09
  before we you know get get to ahead of ourselves.
• 1:16:11
  But it's already been a crazy year of gaming.
• 1:16:17
  Even even though even if you know obviously everybody's not
• 1:16:21
  going to pay everything but you know just even just like looking
• 1:16:23
  on this year so far which let me kind of scroll through this
• 1:16:27
  thing real quick maybe you feel load it's it's just been like a
• 1:16:37
  freaking. Stellar year to to to say the
• 1:16:42
  least and I still have a bunch of stuff that I started or or
• 1:16:47
  downloaded and just never started so I I have a lot I want
• 1:16:51
  to get into whatever so and and I kind of hope I can find my
• 1:16:55
  gaming groove because that that's one thing I I'd be hating
• 1:16:58
  is there something I just don't be in the mood to game whatever
• 1:17:01
  but I just kind of I think I kind of just maybe like chip
• 1:17:03
  away like some of these smaller games kind of give me back in
• 1:17:06
  that mindset in that floor whatever.
• 1:17:09
  Especially as we get ready for like some of these bigger games
• 1:17:10
  and stuff, whatever. So, but I'm but yeah, so.
• 1:17:13
  You know, let me know what y'all think of other stuff that I shot
• 1:17:17
  it out. Is there any stuff that I missed
• 1:17:20
  that you're excited about playing or or looking forward to
• 1:17:25
  for for the rest of the year or that you know is in close
• 1:17:28
  proximity that you still want to go back and and knock out.
• 1:17:32
  And so before we get out of here, there's like a few like
• 1:17:36
  small news things I kind of just touch on briefly before we get
• 1:17:40
  out of here. It's been a while since I've
• 1:17:42
  done that episode Pockets episode this long, but just a
• 1:17:45
  couple things I just want to shout out the the Xbox 360 store
• 1:17:52
  is shutting down July 29th, 2024.
• 1:17:56
  So you want me to purchase things from like the Xbox 360
• 1:17:58
  directly, But a lot of that stuff is already on backwards
• 1:18:02
  compatibility, compatibility. But you still might want to take
• 1:18:05
  take a look at that list and stuff.
• 1:18:09
  They announced a Little Nightmares Three, which this
• 1:18:13
  third one is actually going to be done by Super Massive, who is
• 1:18:18
  the studio. They did Until Dawn, so that's a
• 1:18:21
  very exciting partnership and stuff.
• 1:18:24
  So that's coming out sometime next year.
• 1:18:26
  Once again, for the fighting game, People Taking Eight got a
• 1:18:30
  release date of January 26th of next year.
• 1:18:39
  Let me let me pull up some of this stuff.
• 1:18:40
  I want to show you how. Let me see.
• 1:18:44
  Persona 3 remake got a date for February of next year?
• 1:18:49
  There's this game, I think. I think this is maybe like a a
• 1:18:53
  Korean, sorry, a Korean studio I believe called Crimson Desert.
• 1:19:00
  Oh, I'm not even sure on my screen, but this game looked
• 1:19:05
  freaking insane, man. Like it.
• 1:19:08
  It looked like you had like a little bit of every game known
• 1:19:12
  to man because they were showing like freaking like sky island
• 1:19:17
  stuff from like Tears of the Kingdom Elder ring looking stuff
• 1:19:23
  with. Like giant bosses and stuff,
• 1:19:26
  whatever. And like some of some of the
• 1:19:28
  combat and stuff, but some Assassin's Creed drives.
• 1:19:33
  There, there, there is just like a lot of stuff happening in this
• 1:19:39
  game, but of course there's no date or anything, whatever.
• 1:19:43
  But I just want to maybe put on yours with radar and stuff that
• 1:19:46
  this one might have probably been announced for a long time,
• 1:19:49
  but I'm just not really seeing it and hearing about it or
• 1:19:52
  whatever. So, so yeah, So Crimson Desert
• 1:19:56
  looks very, very interesting. They talked about a bunch of
• 1:20:05
  the, what's it called, Destiny two, road map, whatever going
• 1:20:13
  forward, I guess. Like the like the the next big
• 1:20:16
  expansion, The Final Shape is coming out February 27th next
• 1:20:21
  year. And then that's kind of like the
• 1:20:23
  end of like this like light and dark saga, I guess that they've
• 1:20:26
  been here for all these years. It's freaking last decade from
• 1:20:29
  this freaking wild. I think that destiny is about to
• 1:20:31
  be. 10 years old or might already be 10 years old now and
• 1:20:37
  then and then they said like going forward after that,
• 1:20:41
  they're not doing like like the seasonal stuff like they've been
• 1:20:44
  doing. They're doing like a a kind of
• 1:20:47
  like a episodic thing to where like 3 * a year they'll have
• 1:20:52
  like 3 episodic things where they release story wise and
• 1:20:56
  they're also adding in some kind of like story recap.
• 1:21:01
  Mission playlist thing or something or whatever.
• 1:21:03
  So which that might be interesting for somebody like
• 1:21:05
  myself who has fallen super heavy off of the the series or
• 1:21:11
  whatever just because they it was just too much to keep up
• 1:21:14
  with or whatever. So, so who knows maybe someday
• 1:21:16
  I'll get back into into Destiny who knows?
• 1:21:21
  There is this walking it's called Walking Dead destinies.
• 1:21:25
  It's like a choice adventure type of game where you can make
• 1:21:30
  pivotal choices to alter the course of what we know as like
• 1:21:34
  the storyline from like The Walking Dead TV show, whatever.
• 1:21:37
  So don't know game looked a little jank, but we'll see.
• 1:21:43
  Big one, Of course I got to talk about this.
• 1:21:46
  The freaking where is it at? The PlayStation Portable finally
• 1:21:56
  got a name and it it this is the device that was formerly known
• 1:22:03
  as Projects Q finally got a some handson impressions and stuff
• 1:22:11
  from and I definitely got to give a shout out to to this guy
• 1:22:14
  named the Average consumer. He's the one like caught me off
• 1:22:19
  guard. It was like the other morning I
• 1:22:22
  turned on or I opened up YouTube and it worked, whatever.
• 1:22:25
  And the first video like just recently got uploaded like a few
• 1:22:29
  few seconds beforehand or whatever.
• 1:22:32
  It was like, hey, new PlayStation Portable handheld,
• 1:22:35
  hands on. I was like, is this a gag?
• 1:22:38
  And then I don't know, went to Twitter and stuff, whatever and
• 1:22:41
  it was everywhere. So I'm like okay cool.
• 1:22:42
  He did like a really good job giving like his impressions and
• 1:22:45
  showing off the device and stuff, whatever.
• 1:22:47
  So, but so it's so different. Go check out his video for his
• 1:22:51
  thoughts and stuff. Whatever.
• 1:22:52
  But, but yeah, but the the, the device, man, it.
• 1:22:57
  I know a lot of people kind of dunking on or whatever for the
• 1:22:59
  way it looks and all this stuff, whatever.
• 1:23:02
  But for myself and my personal lifestyle and needs and stuff,
• 1:23:07
  whatever. This is something that speaks to
• 1:23:09
  me as a PlayStation gamer, as a dad with the family, with, you
• 1:23:17
  know, it's lots of going on. This will be my type of.
• 1:23:20
  Thing or whatever, because I don't.
• 1:23:22
  I already have a switch or whatever, and I don't
• 1:23:24
  necessarily need like another like dedicated hand like a steam
• 1:23:27
  deck or the ROG ally, even though I know there's a lot of
• 1:23:31
  benefits or possible things. So maybe someday down the road,
• 1:23:34
  if I have like hundreds of dollars to spend or whatever,
• 1:23:38
  maybe I might pick up one of those two, whatever.
• 1:23:40
  But this is going to be 199. So $200 for this.
• 1:23:44
  No firm date on it yet, but just that it's coming out sometime
• 1:23:47
  this holiday. But now one thing to make clear
• 1:23:52
  is that this is a streaming only device.
• 1:23:56
  This is not a new PlayStation PSP or Vita or whatever.
• 1:24:02
  This is strictly for remote play and streaming where you have to
• 1:24:06
  be on Wi-Fi either for the same network within the home or
• 1:24:11
  remotely or whatever. But.
• 1:24:13
  You will be streaming games from your PS5.
• 1:24:16
  To this device. So of course you, like I said,
• 1:24:18
  you have to of course already own the PS5.
• 1:24:21
  This is not no or I'm a stream directly from the cloud.
• 1:24:24
  My account is like, no you have to have a PS5 or whatever.
• 1:24:27
  So a lot of people kind of up in arms about or whatever.
• 1:24:30
  But for myself this might be something I pick up whatever
• 1:24:34
  might not be a day one thing. Once again funds are low
• 1:24:37
  whatever. But this is something that, you
• 1:24:40
  know, I'm definitely keep my eyes on, especially once it
• 1:24:42
  comes out. And maybe I might wait on a
• 1:24:45
  little bit, maybe catch it. Maybe at some point in a few
• 1:24:48
  months, whatever, they might do like a hey, $50 off sale or
• 1:24:51
  whatever. And I might snag it then, but
• 1:24:53
  we'll see. Or maybe I'll be, I'll be
• 1:24:56
  blessed this holiday or something, whatever, with a
• 1:24:59
  boatload of unexpected money and I decided to get it.
• 1:25:02
  Whatever. So, but yeah, the PlayStation
• 1:25:04
  portal is, you know, being beneficially named and showing
• 1:25:10
  off and stuff. So, so yeah.
• 1:25:13
  So I think that might be it for news stuff I wanted to cover.
• 1:25:20
  Yeah. And and I guess like last little
• 1:25:21
  thing I'll kind of give a shout out to with the the Immortals
• 1:25:27
  Phoenix Rising sequel. Like we we found out like a week
• 1:25:31
  or two ago that that the sequel had got canceled, but then they
• 1:25:34
  kind of gave even more information and description on
• 1:25:38
  it. And this is kind of one of the
• 1:25:39
  things like man wish. That y'all really let this thing
• 1:25:43
  at least have a second chance, because I listened to another
• 1:25:46
  podcast recently and just kind of like reminded that this game
• 1:25:49
  kind of got done dirty. In the same sense, it's kind of
• 1:25:53
  like what happened with Titanfall 2 back in the day,
• 1:25:57
  where that game where Titanfall Two got released between
• 1:26:01
  Battlefield and Call of Duty that year, whatever and just got
• 1:26:03
  utterly screwed. Or whatever sales wise and
• 1:26:05
  attention wise or whatever. Well, something happened with
• 1:26:08
  this, but this was even more egregious because this is from
• 1:26:12
  this is 3 games from the same company all released a month of
• 1:26:17
  of each other, whatever it was. Watchdogs Legion at the very end
• 1:26:21
  of of October, Assassin's Creed Valhalla at the middle end of
• 1:26:29
  November, and then Immortal Phoenix Rising beginning of
• 1:26:34
  December. So first of all.
• 1:26:36
  The games going to December is already being put and about the
• 1:26:40
  passion to die, whatever. But then it's like you have two
• 1:26:43
  of your biggest franchises, Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs
• 1:26:49
  and Watch Dogs with two new games.
• 1:26:51
  And this is Also. Keep in mind this is also the
• 1:26:54
  holiday of. When the PS5 and the Xbox series
• 1:26:59
  consoles first came out. So, holiday 2020, New consoles?
• 1:27:05
  Big returning franchises for whatever and new game whatever.
• 1:27:08
  So it didn't sell well or whatever.
• 1:27:10
  Then I think it reviewed decently or whatever, but it's
• 1:27:13
  kind of like one of those like darling, she was like, man, like
• 1:27:15
  there's there's something here or whatever.
• 1:27:18
  Maybe a sequel will kind of clear it up.
• 1:27:19
  But unfortunately they they snuffed out those those dreams
• 1:27:23
  and stuff. So we would never see another
• 1:27:25
  mortal Phoenix Rising game unfortunately, which sucks
• 1:27:29
  because I had just downloaded the the first game on Position
• 1:27:33
  Plus. Last week and kind of like been
• 1:27:35
  like chipping away at it or whatever and I I really love the
• 1:27:38
  arts on the stuff of that game so but but yeah so that that's
• 1:27:41
  kind of it for like the the games and.
• 1:27:44
  Stuff, whatever. And I might kind of wrap it up
• 1:27:47
  there. I wasn't talking about some
• 1:27:48
  stuff I've been watching. I'll just kind of shout out some
• 1:27:50
  shows. I'm not going to talk about them
• 1:27:52
  in depth, but just to kind of name them off.
• 1:27:55
  That I've got to watch. Recently was I watched on
• 1:27:58
  Netflix the live action. Adaptation of a manga series
• 1:28:03
  called Burn the House Down, really good drama series
• 1:28:08
  basically about this. This girl going for revenge
• 1:28:12
  after her childhood home got burned down and then her mother
• 1:28:18
  got blamed for it. And so this is like 13 years
• 1:28:22
  later or whatever, so she's kind of digging into the truth and
• 1:28:25
  stuff of what really happened. So that was really solid 10
• 1:28:28
  episode series and I also heard good things about the manga.
• 1:28:31
  Shout out to manga alerts. I know he was reading it
• 1:28:34
  recently. I need to talk to me, kind of
• 1:28:35
  maybe compare notes and stuff. I also watched a Sukamici
• 1:28:40
  Moonlit fantasy because once again, shout out to mic check.
• 1:28:46
  I've heard them guys talk about that series, that anime lots and
• 1:28:49
  lots and lots on their podcast, and when they announced this
• 1:28:53
  season 2 it's going to be coming out in January, I was like, you
• 1:28:56
  know what? Let me freaking take a look at
• 1:28:58
  this. Whatever.
• 1:28:59
  And I'm glad I did. It was a very dope watch.
• 1:29:02
  I finished it within like a day or two.
• 1:29:05
  I I definitely plan on doing like a deeper thing on that in
• 1:29:09
  the future and probably maybe save that and put it out closer
• 1:29:12
  to to when season 2 is about to come out.
• 1:29:14
  Maybe so, but and then the last thing the shout out is it's an
• 1:29:17
  anime called Heoka with shout out once again the polo from Mic
• 1:29:20
  Check saw that he was rewatching this or whatever and this is
• 1:29:24
  kind of like a. A mystery slice of life series
• 1:29:30
  toward this kind of this kid is kind of looking into the history
• 1:29:35
  of this kind of like a school like literature club that he's
• 1:29:39
  in and some kind of like mystery stuff surrounding the past of it
• 1:29:44
  or whatever. And the connection that has like
• 1:29:46
  with his sister, because she used to be in it back in the day
• 1:29:48
  and so but that was another really dope one that was very
• 1:29:54
  cool to to watch. And yeah, I think that's it,
• 1:29:59
  because I'm already going an hour and a half.
• 1:30:01
  Like I said, I haven't done a podcast this long in a long
• 1:30:04
  time, so so yeah, so that was very fun.
• 1:30:09
  Like I said, kind of running down the games and stuff that
• 1:30:12
  I'm looking forward to for the remainder of the year and stuff
• 1:30:15
  to put on your radar. And yeah, I hope that y'all
• 1:30:19
  enjoyed listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed
• 1:30:23
  doing it. I don't have too much more to
• 1:30:26
  say right now because it's just it's knocking on midnight and we
• 1:30:31
  got to go hopefully get this new car in the morning so bad.
• 1:30:34
  But as always, thank y'all so much for watching and listening.
• 1:30:38
  Remember, you can find me everywhere at Danny's to talk,
• 1:30:41
  so make sure that hey hit me up. Let me know what y'all thought
• 1:30:44
  of the episode, what game stuff y'all looking forward to and
• 1:30:49
  shut off. I've got to mention this in the
• 1:30:51
  newest thing, whatever. But Xbox.
• 1:30:53
  So kind of kind of like in the same way that PlayStation is
• 1:30:56
  doing the kind of like removable side fan things from the PS5
• 1:31:01
  where you can kind of customize it that one instead of doing.
• 1:31:03
  Like full custom consoles Xbox is doing this, these console
• 1:31:09
  covers. But is this kind of just like
• 1:31:12
  neat, kind of like kind of kind of like like a console wrap to
• 1:31:15
  where it just kind of like? Literally wraps around the
• 1:31:19
  console whatever and like they're they're doing one for
• 1:31:21
  Starfield which is probably already sold out by some of
• 1:31:24
  y'all are hearing this but but it it it looks really dumb and
• 1:31:27
  it's like a really dope idea to kind of like get around and
• 1:31:31
  stuff like manufacturing all these like custom individual
• 1:31:34
  consoles whatever, just manufacture these covers
• 1:31:37
  whatever and you can just slap them on and off whatever.
• 1:31:39
  So it it looks like really nice and sleek.
• 1:31:41
  So, so, yeah, so, so anywho, let me get up out of here.
• 1:31:49
  Like I said, like, find me everywhere at Denny's Talk and
• 1:31:53

  I did, I did Episode where I talked about the Twisted Metal
• 1:32:03
  TV series based off of the old old video game and the Gran
• 1:32:07
  Turismo movie. Both of those were super awesome
• 1:32:11
  and way better than I anticipated them being.
• 1:32:15
  I did an episode talking about Oppenheimer and Oak who of the
• 1:32:18
  inner chambers and just kind of like come with the mindset of
• 1:32:21
  somebody that we put in those positions that those people were
• 1:32:24
  putting in those two respective series.
• 1:32:27
  I finished reading all of it got me the ultimate.

• 1:32:59
  lot but I'm very happy to have so much to play so much to read
